County Commission approves fire grant


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Sumter Commissioners are
allowing Fire Rescue to apply
for a federal grant which, if
awarded, would provide for a
maximum of 41 full-time fire-
fighter positions.
At the commission meeting
on Tuesday\ Sumter Fire Chief
Bill Gulbrandsen presented
the commission with informnna-
tion about a grant application.

lake makes this project the
biggest monetarily in the dis-
trict, with a total cost of
about $25 million.
Restoration Council and
Basin Board members got to
see that money at work on
the lake.
From Pana Vista Lodge,
the group traveled on three
pontoon boats to the location
of the dredge, just south of
Pana Vista.
Friday was the first time
members of the three groups
met together to see work
going on in the lake.

the same number of Sumter
firefighters who would qualify
to apply for the positions, if
available, as there would be
created.
BUt commissioners aren't
ready to commit to the finan-
cial obligation the award
would entail. They agreed to
allow the application of the
grant because of the
approaching deadline but
plan to discuss it further


before accepting any grant
money
For the first year, the county
would have to pay $140,000
toward the cost of paying 41
firefighters $36,000 a year
includingjbenefits. By the fifth
year, that number would
increase to $1,404,000.
"I don't look at grants as free
money anymore," said
Commissioner Joey Chandler.
CommiJssioners voiced sev-
eral concerns about applying


for such a grant, including the
possibility of being required
to repay it if positions were
lost, as well as the practicality
of committing to more money
while the current staff situa-
tion seems to be working.
Commissioner Michael
Francis said he didn't see why
such allotments would be nec-
essary, since Gulbrandsen
stated earlier that fire rescue
personnel were arriving on
scenes around six minutes

North Sumter Primary holds wet celebration


Rooom EDDINS
Times Correspondent,
Imagine being able to go to
school just for the fun of it?
Well, that's what happened
on Friday, May 20, at North
Sumter Primary School with
Water Day and again on
Monday, May 23, for AR
Celebration Day.
As a reward for a long hard
year of work, the school cam-
pus was transformed
overnight from a typical
school setting to something
reminiscent of a day at the
beach.
Children in bathing suits
ran under sprinklers, sunned
themselves and even fished
for whiffel balls.
With the Beach Boys
singing over the intercom, the
children were led from sta-
tion to station to partake in
the fun events planned for
them by Peggy LeCroy. a 33-


year veteran teacher who had
just as much fun as the chil-
dren.
"Oh, I haven't slept in a
week worrying and making
sure that everything was per-
fect for the children," she
said. "It's a lot of work but
they are worth every minute
of it. It's a school effort we all
work together to make this
happen."
Little pools were set out
around the area that were just
as full of water as they were
with children having fun.
Head Custodian Marvin
Sowell manned the faucets as
children took turns standing,
on a platform that would
squirt miniature geysers for
the students' enjoyment.
One area was fenced off for
sprinkler play and another
where children could throw

department has been running
efficiently
But Gulbrandsen called the
chance for this grant a "once-
in-a-lifetime opportunity." He
also said that the volume of
calls the department receives
has increased at a much more
rapid rate than population
has been increasing, an

Memorial Day turned tragic
when a 46-year-old pilot died
Monday morning when the
small plane he was piloting
crashed north of Coleman.
The crash happened short-
ly after 8 a.m., a few minutes
after pilot Robert Simpson, of
Apopka, took off from the
Coleman Free Flight Airport,
according to sheriff's Lt.
Bobby Caruthers.
Simpson, a seasoned pilot,
was flying a Slip Screen
experimental plane from the
Coleman airport to the Eustis
airport when the plane
apparently lost power,
Caruthers said.
The four-cycle, two-cylin-
der Genesis-model plane
cleared the runway and
began flying northbound to
Eustis, Caruthers said. About
a quarter mile north of the
airport, at about 400 or 500
feet, the plane turned left and

Group grows, opposed


to mine expansion plan


It started out as a few people
concerned about plans by
Rinker Materials to expand its
Florida Crushed Stone operation
near Center Hill.
But numbers are growing as
more people become involved in
CORE, Citizens Opposed to
Rinker's Expansion.
The group was launched as local
concerns increase as the June 28
deadline approaches when the
County Commission will consider
an application by Florida
Crushed Stone to expand its lime
rock mining operation onto an
additional 350 acres of land close
to the Center Hill city limits.
While the County Commission
will be the board to decide the
issue, CORE is taking its concerns
to the city of Center Hill in hopes
of garnering a resolution from the
City Council stating that Center
Hill opposes the expansion of the
mine.
Fueled by John Megan, a resi-
dent who lives close to the pro-
posed mine expansion, CORE is
questioning existing mining prac-
tices by Florida Crushed Stone,
and voicing concerns about the
impact that any new mining would
have on nearby residences and
businesses.
Many have said they have

r. Some of the other songs on the CD
use words like: "Love has redeemed
his sheep with blood;" "Mercy speaks
by Jesus' blood;" "Thy blood alone, 0
Lamb of God, can give me peace with-
in."
All that blood talk got me thinking
chols to about outsiders and aliens, those not
15 T19S familiar with church lingo. Years ago
my friend Cheryl Peterson and I were
Malcolm accosted on a Southern California
)perty in beach by a Bible-wielding man who
to Ellen asked if we'd been "washed in the
ran Oak blood."
M. Fink We'd been slathered with


Coppertone tanning oil, but frankly
weren't interested in a blood bath; We
ignored him and he went on down the
beach accosting other sun worshipers.
Now I know about the blood of
Jesus cleansing us from all
Ssin (1 John 1:7), but I often
wonder what other people
think It's an odd concept
blood as a cleaning
agent. If I cut myself and
bleed on the carpet, it will
leave a stain, not a clean
.- spot. You don't dump a
cupful of blood into your
washing machine, and if
.. you were to take a tree
branch, dip it in blood and
HCY shake it out onto a crowd of
people, they wouldn't
shout "Hooray! Do it
again!" They'd shout, but
not "Hooray."
But God being God decided that the
sins of humans could only be cleansed
by blood. "Without the shedding of
blood, there is no forgiveness"
(Hebrews 9:22).
A few years ago, Christianity Today
ran a three-part story, written by sur-
geon Paul Brand, about the life-giving
power of blood, beginning with its
"miracle" cleansing properties.
Brand detailed the process of blood
traveling throughout the body, simul-
taneously feeding each cell with oxy-
gen and absorbing waste products
(carbon dioxide, urea and uric acid),
then delivering the toxic waste chem-
icals to organs that can dump them
outside the body.
"Blood sustains life by carrying
away the chemical by-products that
would interfere with it," he wrote.
"This then is the (condensed) medical
explanation of blood's cleansing prop-


erty."
He went on to write about sin and
forgiveness. He said we tend to think
of sin as a "private list of grievances
that happen to irk God...but even a
casual reading of the Old Testament
shows that sin is a blockage, a para-
lyzing toxin that restricts our realiza-
tion of full humanity."
Forgiveness, he said, "cleanses the
wasteful products, sins, that impede
true health, just as blood cleanses
harmful metabolites."
He said from a biological, physio-
logical perspective, blood as a cleans-
ing agent makes perfect sense. "The
Creator chose a theological symbol
with an exact analog in the medical
worldd" he wrote.
That still doesn't explain why God",
chose blood as the only, acceptable
sin-cleanser as offensive and icky;
as it is but he did. Maybe Bible
scholars and theologians know, but
most likely they don't. No one knows
why God does anything and any expla-;
nations would only be speculations,
For me, it's enough to know that
God is God; therefore, he gets to
make the rules. And if he says the
answer to "What can wash away my
sin?" is "Nothing but the blood .of
Jesus," then that's the way it is.
I'm just glad that on May 30,1978,
I believed for the first time that it
did.

L ast week, the Social Security
Administration (SSA) and the
Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) began mail-
ing booklets to some 30
million Medicare benefici-
aries.
The $250-million' mar-
keting money is about to
be released; this was the
amount allowed by the -
Medicare Modernization,
Improvement and
Prescription Drug Act of
2003 (MMA).
Folks, if you think that
Medicare has previously
confused you with its asso- '
ciated bureaucracy, you RO
haven't seen anything yet I
have written before about
the gross neglect from the offices of
our "elected protectors," the gross
inaccuracy of the Medicare hot line
and the blatant failure of the
Medicare discount card.
The next six months will reveal the
most misunderstood program in the
history of Medicare.
The CMS has determined that some
10 million beneficiaries already qual-
ify for a total subsidy of our new pre-
scription drug program. Those who
qualify for this full subsidy will not
have to pay the Part D premium -


p





I


Part D is the prescription drug benefit
- nor any deductibles, and they will
not need to worry about the infamous
$2,850 doughnut hole. They will only
have to pay a small co-pay-
" ment, somewhere between
$3 to $5 per prescription.
The present qualifiers
., are those whose monthly
income does not exceed
s- $1,077 and who have assets
of less than $6,000 for a sin-
gle individual. The figures
for a married couple are a
total income of less than
i, $1,443 per month and
A.N assets of less than $9,000.
Note, this is the same
IAN group that qualified for the
- discount card, but, through
lack of communication,
only 25 percent participated.
To qualify for a partial subsidy, an
individual's income must not exceed
$14,355 per year, and your assets can-
not exceed $11,500. A married couple
may qualify for a partial subsidy if
their income does not exceed $19,245
per year and if their assets do not
exceed $23,000.
All of our lives, we have been taught
and requested by the government to
save. We now will be asset-tested and
subsequently ostracized for doing so.
These 20 million beneficiaries will


receive their booklets sometime
between now and the end of August
Remember, these are booklets to
determine whether you qualify for a
partial subsidy. They are not applica-
tions of qualification for the benefit
Confused? It will only get worse. We
are only five months away from apply-
ing for this benefit. However, the
details of the program are still
unknown by the government
Folks, the final legislation of this
new law was passed in November
2003.
What in the world have our mem-
bers of Congress and the sub-depart-
ments of the Executive been doing?
Anyway, back to the basics, these
partial qualifiers will be mailed in
Social Security number sequence. It
is quite possible that you may receive
yours this week and your spouse
receive his or hers 10 weeks from now.
Be prepared! The booklet will ask
you about your countable assets, such
as real estate investments, stocks,
bonds, cash, mutual funds and the
cash value of your life insurance.
Your primary residence, vehicles,
household goods and furnishings will
not count
But your Social Security income
will be counted along with any other
income.

WET DAY

water soaked balls at each
other or try to get them into
the opposite bucket
Volleyball and other games
were also available for the
excited youngsters to enjoy.
Just in front of the lifeguard
stand was a pair of tables cov-
ered in shaving cream for the
children to cover themselves
in and then rinse off in a
shower or get hosed off by one
of the teachers.
Many of the students also
tested their aiming skills by
throwing wet sponges through
hanging inflatable swimming
tubes.
Others took turns playing in
sand boxes, checking out their
Hula Hoop abilities or setting
a spell at a picnic table savor-
ing a Popsicle.
The pre-K class also
insured that the air about the
campus was constantly filled
with bubbles wafting about
the scene.
Even some of the teachers
couldn't resist a chance to
squirt a fellow educator or


two in the midst of the end of
school fun.
Dana Williams, the school's
new principal, even spent
some fun time at the shaving
cream table with some of the
children.
"This is just a wonderful
way for the children to end a
year of hard work We enjoy it
as much as they do. It's a
memory they will have forev-
er."
On the following Monday,
the students were again
rewarded for their hard work
in the Accelerated Reading
program in which every single
student at the school partici-
pated in with another fun day.
A 25-foot tall inflated slide
was set up and next to that
was a climbing rock wall for
the students to test their met-
tle. A moon walk was set up
for their jumping enjoyment
and in one hall way a Sno
Cone machine was set up and
ready for the crowd.
Around front, children were
given rides on the Chugga
Chugga Choo Choo and the
passengers could be heard
squealing with delight as the
'engine' chugged around the
area usually reserved for the
school busses.

increase of about 13 percent
over last year., .'.-*i, -
"This is a standard of care
issue,'" he said. .-
,Commissioner Jim Roberts
said he would not be
opposed to applying for the
grant, but would like to
explore all possible ramifica-
tions and let the public
decide whether this is some-
thing they want to pay for.
"We'll need a lot of public
input for this," he said.
Also at Tuesday's board
meeting, commissioners
opted to move ahead with the
next step toward the county's
solid waste assessments.
Starting this week, adver-
tisement will begin for a con-
sultant who will determine
the amounts Sumter resi-
dents will have to pay for
solid waste disposal and the
commission will receive bids
for the position until June 23.
In other business, Sumter's


Guardian Ad Litem office
will be moving out of a 160-
square foot office into a more
spacious and workable one.
GAL Attorney Courtney
Durham and Case
Coordinator, Kate Busby.
approached the commission,
pleading for a larger office
for their staff of three full-
time employees and one
part-time employee, in addi-
tion to 35 active volunteers.
Busby said currently, the
group has 48 cases and 90
children, and expects
approximately double that
amount by the end of June,
and says there are already
instances when confidential-
ity is compromised because
of a lack of space.
"I think this is an agency
we need to do something for,"
Roberts said.
Commissioners agreed to
rent a building containing
seven offices for the program
at a cost of $15,000 per year.
The GAL program will only
need four offices, so three
will be left for the use of the
county.


PROJECT

through a three-mile tube to.
water holding cells at an off-
shore location, near
Interstate 75.
Also there to help speed
things along was a "cookie
cutter" machine, which has
been chopping the thick, wide
vegetation along the bank.
Once the cutter, courtesy of
the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection,
chops the plants, the resulting
debris sinks to the bottom of
the water for the dredge to
pick up.
Basin Board and
Restoration Council Members
seemed pleased to see posi-
tive results come of years of
work and planning.
. Jim Veal, Sr., owner of Pana
Vista and Restoration Council
member, has lived on the lake
for more than the last half-
century.
"I'm very excited," he said.
"The question has been, is the
project going to work? The
answer is that it is working."
He said in areas that have
already been dredged, where
the shell bottom of the lake is
exposed, fish habitat has been
restored.
"We've seen really good
fishing there," he said. "The
project has been well put
together."
Dredging has been complet-
ed through much of the lake's
developed shoreline on the
west side. Holtkamp said the
last area to be dredged on the
western shoreline during this

phase is Idlewild Fish Camp
at the north end, and he esti-
mated the dredge would make
its way there in about two
months.
Once dredging in the devel-
oped area is complete, opera-
tions will move to the eastern
shoreline and work across
that side of the lake, where
dredging is expected to speed
up considerably along open
Wildlife Management land,
which is free of docks and
boat ramps. In the open areas,
200-foot pontoons will be used
to sweep debris around the
dredge, compared to the pair
of 35-foot long pontoons being
used in residential areas.
The restoration council was
formed in 1998 and the first
phase of the project, the
Coleman Pilot Project, was.
completed in 2001.
Step four involves cleaning
up individual canals, and the
project is scheduled to be
completed by January of 2008,
Holtkamp said. Despite "
equipment and weather-relat-
ed problems that have slowed
down work on the lake,
Holtkamp said they're getting
closer to being on schedule.

appeared to lose power and
idle, witness David Watson
told investigators.
Watson was the previous
owner of the plane and he had
just traded it to the manager
of the Eustis airport,
Caruthers said. Simpson was
flying the plane to Eustis
where Watson intended to
pick him up at the airport.
Watson said he saw the
plane descend behind a line
of trees and then saw smoke,
according to Caruthers. It was
Simpson's second flight in the
aircraft
The plane crashed north of
Coleman and south of
Wildwood on the east side of
the CSX railroad tracks, he
said. The crash site was a
heavily wooded and swampy
area.


y.
Emergency personnel were
notified about 8:10 a.m. and a
fire truck arrived at the crash
site about 8:30 a.m.
The plane was engulfed in
flames when firefighters-
arrived, according to
Caruthers. The fire was extin-
guished and Simpson was
pronounced dead at the
scene.
Emergency personnel con-
tacted CSX representatives
following the crash and a por-
tion of the railroad tracks was
shut down for about three to
four hours, Caruthers said.
"Simpson was a very expe-
rienced pilot and he test flies
people's planes," Caruthers
said. "It was a very tragic acci-
dent"
The plane wreckage was
loaded onto a tow truck and
taken back to an airport
hangar for inspection.
Federal Aviation
Administration authorities
were notified and they are
investigating the crash, he
said.

Earld M. Blackmon


Earl M. Blackmon, 73, died on May 26, 2005 after a short illness.
Born on October 28, 1931 in Leesburg, Florida, Earl was a lifelong
residentof Leesburg and Sumter County. In 1949 he graduated from
Leesburg High School, where lie had played football and basketball for the
Yellow Jackets. He went to the University of Florida on a basketball
scholarship, oui soon leht school to serve in the army during the Korean Way.
He became a paratrooper with the 11th Airborne Division, subsequently
training paratroopers for active duty; he.was honorably discharged from the
army in 1953.
On returning to Leesburg, Earl founded p & H Roofing Company, which
operated for thirty-five years. After retiring from the roofing business, he
remained active as a cattle rancher and farmer. He was a long-time member
of the BPOE, and a past governor of the Loyal Order of Moose, 1271. He
belonged to the Leesburg 'Quarterback Club for forty years, frequently
serving as an officer and on the board of directors; and he spent many years
on the governing board of the Sumter County Farmers' Market.
Known to many as "Tar Baby," Earl was a vital, courageous man whose
spirit and sense of humor remained strong, despite his many physical
afflictions during the past several years. He loved golf and fishing, and had
an encyclopedic knowledge of crops, animals, seasons and weather.
patterns. He remained an avid University of Florida football fan throughout
his life, faithfully attending every game as long as he could do so. Long after
health, problems had curtailed his activities, he continued to enjoy the
pursuits that remained within his power; he worked at Holloway Tree Farm,
and was actively running a produce business and planning a golf trip with
friends, when his last illness manifested itself. He was a tenderhearted man
who cherished his family, his friends and his pets; during his last year, a
Westie puppy, "Charlie," added great joy to his life.
Earl's survivors include his wife, Ann Holloway Blackmon of the home;
three sons by previous marriages, Earl ("Butch") Blackmon (wife: Joan) of
Mooresville, North Carolina; Jerry Blackmon (wife: Patty Ann) of Marietta,
Georgia; Mickey Blackmon (wife: Ruth Ann) of Oxford, Florida; three
stepchildren (Cynthia, Scott, Rich); six grandchildren (Allison, Tyler, Jerry,
Joshua, Justin, Brittany); two stepgrandchildren (Morgan, Preston); one
great-grandson (Jadon). He is also survived by-his brother-in-law, Rufus M.
Holloway Jr., M.D. (wife: Betsy, son: Michael) of Orlando. Leroy Edmundson,
who worked with Earl for thirty-five years, was. a lifelong close friend. Two
years ago, Earl's golfing friends held a tournament in his honor, for the
purpose of constructing specially-equipped living arrangements for him; the
family expresses warm gratitude to these men, as well as to the many other
special friends who have given so freely of their support, strength and love.
A memorial service will take place at the Leesburg Christian Center on
Saturday, June 4, 2005 at 2:00 p.m. Friends who wish to make memorial
contributions may do so to the church or charity of their choice.
Arrangements are being handled by .

Former president honored with memorial brick


A brick, like these shown, will be laid later this summer honor-
ing former President George Bush at the Sumter County
Veterans Memorial at the Sumter County Courthouse. His son,
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, purchased the brick.


BOB REICHMAN
Editor

Among the hundreds of hon-
orary bricks that are being
installed at a veterans' memo-
rial at the Sumter County
Courthouse will be one honor-
ing a former president
A brick honoring former
President George H. W Bush
will be placed at the Sumter
County Veterans Memorial on
the west side of the Sumter
County Courthouse later this
summer.
A brick honoring the former
president was recently pur-


chased by his son, Gov. Jeb
Bush following the governor's
recent visit to Sumter County.
"During his visit, the gover-
nor heard about the memorial
and asked if he could have an
application for a brick," said
Sumter Veterans Services
Officer Dan Baker.
Last year, veterans through-
out the county worked togeth-
er to plan a new memorial at
the courthouse honoring all
veterans of all wars. The
memorial is a compilation of
bricks, each inscribed with a
veteran's name, branch of
service, and years served in


the military. The bricks sur-
round an existing monument
to veterans in front of the
Bushnell courthouse.
"I was really surprised
when I got the governor's
returned application and
check in the mail," said Baker.
Baker said the governor
purchased the, 100th brick that
will be ordered in the next
outgoing order of 104 bricks.
The order will be placed
shortly and his brick along
with the others should arrive
in about four and six weeks,
Baker said.
"We're going to try and get


the governor back here when ;
the brick is placed," Baker
said.
Currently, 116 bricks corn--.
prise the ever-expanding
memorial.
"It will just keep growing as
long as people order the'
bricks," Baker said.
Inscribed in the brick will
be the words: "George H. W
Bush, 194245, U.S. Navy"
Persons interested in pur-.
chasing a memorial brick
should contact the Sumter
County Veterans Service
Office at 793-0235. The cost for
,a brick is $50.

SECO urges hurricane awareness


Sumter Electric

urged residents from through-
out Central Florida to be alert
for storms that could impact
our part of the state.
"We cer-
tainly don't
want to see'a
repeat of r.0...k

occurred !I-
during last '
storm sea-
son," said
Duncan.
"However,
we should all
keep a- wary
eye on devel- '
oping storms
in the Atlantic and we should
be prepared to deal with
storm damage well in advance
of a storm's arrival."
"The Co-op will be pre-
pared and we hope our mem-
bers and the rest of Central
Florida's residents will also
take the time to.think about
their plans for severe weather
events," continued Duncan.


SECO's CEO noted that the
Co-op has created a new color
guide to Florida storms to
assist SECO members with
their preparations. The guide
explains all the types of
severe weather phenomena
common
to the
state,

4t So maybe monev'; not everyone's favorite subject. But pas ing attention

now ma well keep \ou from having to pay dearly later. 0 Let',b legin, with

the concept of being a member of a credit union verses being .1 customer,

at a bank. See. a ba,k's main goal is to offer stockholders wavs to make

moncN. \Vhereas, a credit union's main goal is to offer members was to ,Take

mon eN. V, You'll find evidence of this at Suncoast. Just a-k about our car

lo..ns with rates as Io s ... APR'. Or ur certificate accounts painig

earnings as high as 4.9'o APY2. Then there's free checking, free

ATM access, free on-line banking and bill pay and free advice from financial

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

credit union in Florida. and the seventh largest in the counrry. All of

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

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

Cason kicking it up to



play for Lake Sumter


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

Senior Jessica Cason is kick-
ing it up a notch as she signs
with Lake Sumter Community
College for softball.
Cason went for tryouts earli-
er this year and got the offer to
play.
She said she's "excited and
relieved! I'm ready 'to play
ball."
Her parents, Brett and
Colleen Cason, of Center Hill,
are also proud of her and excit-
ed about the college scholar-
ship she earned.
Cason, 18, is excited about
the chance to play in college
and said she didn't know how
much of a chance she had.
."Kay-Kay (Dobson, her team-
mate and friendly pushed and
pushed," she said.
Dobson signed with Lake
Sumter a couple of weeks ear-
lier
, She said Dobson kept telling
her she w\as good enough.
They've played ball together
for the last three years and
Cason will be the photographer
at Dobson's wedding laler this
summer.
As for the game, Cason loves
the challenge.
Nicknamed Speedie, she
said, "I really enjoy it. I like the


competition, the excitement, it
just keeps you going especial-
ly in tight games."
She smiled and said "Close
scores can get you sometimes,"
but said killing a team is no
fun.
While she didn't actually
start playing softball until a
few years ago, she did play soc-
cer and "Daddy's thrown balls
at me since I could hold a
glove," she said of her experi-
ence with softball.
And they were high speed,
she added.
Cason said coaches were cer-
tain she had played for years,
when she only started in her
teens.
She began to play at school
during her sophomore year.
"Then I played varsity last
year and this year and county
last and this year."
She also credits her coaches,
Eunice Cilenti and Tim Knight
Her hope is that she'll see
the goals and dreams she's set
for herself come to fruition.
One of her most memorable
experiences was, "The first
game I played and my first time
at bat in a 'real game.
"I hit a triple on the first
pitch!"

Cason also credits her par-
ents for her achievements.
"If it wasn't for them putting


up with all the sports I'm in, I
wouldn't be where I am.
They've supported me in
everything I've ever wanted to
do."
From her own experience
she's learned, "You don't nec-
essarily have to play ball your
whole life to be a good player."
Cason, who has a 3.68
unweighted grade point aver-
age, also gives a lot of volunteer
hours. During the last year she
volunteered at Webster
Elementary School and
Bullfrogs and Butterflies (day-
care), putting in six or more
hours a week between the two.
After Cason finishes with
sports in college, she has big
plans. She'll be studying pho-
tography and obstetrics nurs-
ing. She plans to transfer from
Lake Sumter to the University
of Florida and look into life in
the bigger cities.
She doesn't want bumper-to-
bumper, but she does want
beach, she said.

Praise in the Park draws 500 in Wildwood


BRENDA L.OCKLEAR
Staff Writer

Building family values,
sharing music and fellowship
and coming closer to God
were the focus last month as
more than 500 people gath-
ered for Praise in the Park.
Held at Martin Luther King
Park (the former Seaboard
Park in Wildwood) and coor-
dinated by Pastor Tony Jones
and a special team of plan-
ners from the BW City
Ministries, the event was
designed "To set a positive
atmosphere for the youth and
to encourage the parents,
helping them role model for
the youth," according to one
planner, Anjanette
Broadhurst
"Teens and younger youth
shared their talent, entertain-
ing the crowd and being
heard by some professional
artists."
Broadhurst said it was an
opportunity for new talent to
be discovered and scholar-
ships to be offered.
The day is a mix of music,
entertainment, preaching and
mostly testimonies, according
to Jones, who said folks who
share may end up explaining
how they were on drugs and


"God just really delivered
them," from it
Since beginning the Praise
in the Park event, he said he
hears almost daily of people
who say it's made a major dif-
ference in their lives.
"I'm hoping that this really
begins to turn the city and
even the county around for
the young people," Jones said
of his plans for the event He
hopes to "Give them a new
outlook on life and show them.
a positive way of living in our
society.
He said the focus of the day
is on family values and morals
and God..
The gathering drew partici-
pants from as far south as
Miami and as far north as
Jacksonville.
There were scheduled
events but there was even an
open talent segment where
local kids got up and took to
the microphone.
"It gave each one of them
the opportunity," Broadhurst
said.
The event included a pic-
nic-style hot meal, as well as
the distribution of non-perish-
ables and the fun went from
10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
"We do outreach. We do a lot
of street services. The Lord
kind of just laid it on my heart


to bring something new in,"
Jones said of the large event
That included bringing in
singers and people from
around the state.
"He (God) said to get in the
park He laid it on my heart to
get in the park and do a larger
outreach and family outing,"
Jones explained.
They began the larger min-
istry about two years.
Coordinating is done by a
team that includes Jones, his
wife Kim, Broadhurst,
Minister Curtis Cotter,
Brother Lawrence Solomon
and Clarence Littlejohn.
They have residents who
also jump in to help.
"We started contacting dif-
ferent groups, telling them
what we were doing and the
effort to reach youth and pro-
vide family environment.
'One of the main reasons-
they started the street min-
istries was to pull youth "away
from violence and drugs and
take back the city for our
youth."
He gives thanks to God and
sees the effort as a success.
He said the kids weren't
even playing in the park, but
putting the events together
and pulling the community
together is allowing them to
take back the community from


Teens from around the state performed during the all-day Praise in the Park event.


violence and drugs.
On a day-to-day basis peo-
ple come and note that it's
making a big difference in
their lives, he said, adding
that they focus on family val-
ues and bringing people clos-
er to God.
He said he constantly hears


testimonies of how people's
lives have been changed.
Over the last couple of years
they've had from .200 to 300
people attend, but this year
was the largest This time they
had well over 500, he said.
"I was very, very pleased
with it this year. This time was


actually one of the best that
we had," he said.
For more information, call
the church at 330-1633.
"We also have a food bank
and we give out food once a
month," he said.
The church is located at
1301 High Street Wildwood.

City to serve wastewater and water in Sumtervile


The city of Bushnell was
recently awarded a combina-
tion of grants and loans from
the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's Office of Rural
Development in the amount of
$1,434,200 to allow for waste-
water and water services to be
provided to area businesses in


Sumterville.
"The city of Bushnell is very
appreciative of these funds
that will provide the
Sumterville area with critical
wastewater, water and fire
protection needs," said Mayor
Joe P Strickland Jr.
"The expansion of the


Langley Medical Center and
the construction of the Lane
Purcell Hospice House will
greatly benefit both the citi-
zens of Bushnell and the resi-
dents of South Sumter County.
We are very pleased to be able
to provide these services with
the assistance' from the


U.S.D.A."
The city of Bushnell will use
these funds to extend the
wastewater collection system,
and construct a new water dis-
tribution system that will
serve commercial and institu-
tional facilities only along
Hwy. 301 in Sumterville.


Sumter students challenge the world


Sumter students headed off
to Phoenix, Az. earlier this
month for some international
competition.
And while four Sumter
projects were put in competi-
tion at the International
Science and Engineering
Fair, at least one, a brand new
species, may be headed for a
patent this year.
That project belongs to
Wildwood High School's
Crsytal Swartzfager.
Her brothers David and
Rusty and student Paige
Paxton also took part in the
international competition
this year, submitting their
own projects.
Crystal used cross-pollina-
tion to create a brand new
species of the hoya, a succu-
lent.,The name of the project
was '"Are hoya species cross-
pollinating species or self-
pollinating species?"
She answered questions
that even the experts were
unable to answer previously.
Crystal, who is in her sec-
ond year of working with the
hoya she developed, will
apply for a patent and name
the species if it's accepted.

.plants.
It has a ghostly, white-col-
ored flower with a red center.
Most important to the species
is that it is showing signs of
pest resistance. The demise
of most hoya plants are
insects.
Rusty and David put togeth-
er a project on oxygen deficits
in, Lake Panasoffkee. They
took days to map-out the lake
and then measure the oxygen
levels at specific depths in
various locations on their
map.
Their interest was sparked
by newspaper articles on the
lake, citing oxygen deficits
and a major dredging process.
According to their mom
Susan, who is a teacher at
Wildwood Middle School, the
teens had 52 different loca-
tions around the lake where
they measured the dissolved
oxygen levels. They found
that the section previously
dredged had much higher lev-
els of dissolved oxygen than
the rest of the lake.
The sections where the
water moves through to the
Withlacoochee River showed
higher dissolved oxygen than
the undredged areas. There
also appeared to be more
wildlife in this area. That
should mean that the recov-


ery of the lake should be dra-
matic, once the dredging proj-
ect is completed.
They were trying to rein-
force that dredging is a neces-
sary act to help the lake
recover and that Lake
Panasoffkee is a top fishing
spot in Florida.
The teens came away from
the competition with some,
valuable experience, accord-
ing to Swartzfager.
. She said. it's something
"They will carry with them
the rest of their lives."
As for the competition and
trip, Swartzfager said
Phoenix was warm and
breezy and the experience
was wonderful.
"The students all enjoyed
meeting new people from
around the country and
around the world." Even the
flight was a first for a few of
the students on the trip.
When it came time for com-
petition, as they vied against
more than 1,440 projects from
around the world, they spent
the hours answering judge's


questions. The finale for the
event was a rodeo with a
steak and chicken dinner in a
western theme park Nearly
5,000 people attended the
event.
During their free time the
students got a chance to expe-
rience some of the local
atmosphere, calm-water raft-
ing and touring the area by
bus.
Swartzfager said from a raft
in the middle of the desert,
the kids said the main differ-
ence between Florida and
Arizona is a lack ofgrass.
She said they got a chance
to watch as eagles soared and
dipped above the river and
against the backdrop of high,
dusky red mountains.
She said they enjoyed the
new experience but missed
Florida with its lush green
grass and tall oaks.
She said kids and adults let
out a cheer as they returned
home to Florida.
"Other places are a great
experience but Florida is
home."

The Rotary Club of
Wildwood has proudly named
Daniel C. McCormic as its
recipient of the Lifetime
Achievement Award For
Rotary Service. McCormic
will be recognized by his
Rotary Club for this outstand-
ing achievement on or before
the Installation Dinner June
29.
McCormic has also been
named as the recipient of the
"Lifetime Achievement
Award" for Rotary District
6980. The award will be pre-
sented at the Annual Awards
and Guards Dinner on June
11.
He is a charter member of
the Wildwood Rotary Club,
which was formed in 1974.
McCormic is proactive in all
club endeavors and is a highly
visible in our community as
not only a community leader
but as a Rotarian who person-
ifies "Service Above Self".
McCormic is a great ambas-
sador for the Rotary Club of
Wildwood and our strongest
recruiter for new members.
When people hear- his name
they think Rotary. He has
twice served as president for
our club and has served as
assistant district governor for
District #6980 2002/2003.
McCormic, by unanimous
acclaim, was also our club's
recipient of the "Jewel of
Rotary Award" last year, pre-
sented by ADC Art Inverson.
McCormic was our first Paul
Harris Fellow and is responsi-
ble for creating two additional
Paul Harris Fellowships. He
is single-handedly responsi-
ble for our club becoming
involved in district events.
By his example, coaching
and counseling as to the true
meaning of Rotary and
Rotary's purpose on a much
grander scale than just local
community service.
While serving on our board
of directors, McCormic suc-
cessfully put into place our
adoption of 100 percent sus-
taining membership in The
Rotary Foundation, which has
been ongoing.
McCormic organized our
club's participation in our
first international project, the
Medical Mission in Merida,
Mexico, that served the entire
Yucatan to provide treatment


and surgery for children with
cleft pallets. He also co-
chaired our next internation-
al project "PCs for the
Bahamas."
Through his Rotary net-
work he was Instrumental in
obtaining 16 complete PC con-
figurations for the Bahamian
schools.
McCormic moves through
our community and county
practicing and exemplifying
The Four Way Test. He is sin-
cere in his belief of "Service
Above Self." As an example,
each year Dan's real estate
partners and he purchase a
ticket in our major fund-rais-
er, the Rotary Reverse Raffle.
The partnership was the win-
ner of the $10,000 grand prize
this year.
He convinced his partners
to donate the $10,000 back to
the club for additional service
work and charitable projects.
Not content with his distin-
guished career as a Rotarian,
he has served as a volunteer
and/or member in many
meaningful and important
organizations.
He has served as a trustee
for Lake Sumter Community
College; He is the founding
chairman of the Sumter
County Development
Authority. McCormic is also
the founding president of the
Sumter County Economic
Development Council and
continues to be an active
member.
He has also served as presi-
dent of the Tri-County Bar
Association, the Sumter
County Board of Realtors, the
Wildwood Area Chamber of
Commerce and the Sumter
County Unit of the American
Cancer Society.
He is presently serving on
the Lake Panasoffkee
Restoration Council and the
Sumter County. Tourism Tax
Development Council.
The Rotary Club of
Wildwood is fortunate to him
as a strong, active member
and takes great pride in his
award.

Wildwood High School
Junior Crystal Swartzfager
was selected as a Governor's
High School All-Star this
year.
Sumter County Curriculum
coordinator Jim Marriucci
said each of the high schools
received packets of informa-
tion used to help them nomi-
nate a student for the honor.
This year there were three


students one from each of
the high schools.
The three schools pick
their student of choice and
then administrators from the
county determine the stu-
'dent based on several things,
Marriucci said.
The criteria includes the
student's academic success
(keeping at least a 3.0 aver-
age on a 4.0 grade scale),


behavior, leadership partic-
ipation in co and extra-cur-
ricular activities and service
- volunteer and mentoring.
Being selected the district
representative meant that
Swartzfager headed for
Tallahassee, where she and
other all-stars held round-
table discussions and had
lunch with Florida Gov. Jeb
Bush.

This past spring, I had the wonderful and
unique opportunity to closely observe a
couple of wild turkey gobblers and a
bunch of hens for several mornings.
For many years, I have greatly enjoyed
hunted wild turkey gobblers in the
spring and I still do but I had not
really ever had the opportunity to
observe them for any length of time "
as they went about their rituals of S
getting ready to enter the annual :
springtime mating season.
The reason being I was hunting -
the gobblers with a gun instead of a
camera and subsequently when
they came into range I shot them.
This year in the early spring, ;:'
before the hunting season came in, ..
I decided to try and photograph JAMIE
some gobblers and I was absolutely Outdoo
amazed and spellbound at times as ....
I watched the many different
dances they performed for the hens as well as
the many unique sounds they made as they
got ready and eventually reached the special
moment when they began to go into their full
blown strutting.
I was able to watch these performances
over a period of nearly two weeks for a cou-
ple of hours a day and what I was able to
observe and enjoy was truly a masterpiece bf


living art that only our God could have put
together.
During the spring, the gobblers' feathers
are at the stage when they are the most color-
ful and I was able to take many photos of a
couple of special gobblers that I
think possibly may have been
brothers. These two huge long
bearded gobblers stayed together
the entire time I was observing
them from by blind.
Whatever one of the gobblers
would do, the other would imitate
the very same moves and gestures
over and over and over.
In the photos of the gobblers
.. accompanying this article take spe-
cial notice of the brilliant colors of
ADAMS their feathers but especially check
rWriter out the red white and blue colors of
...sno. their heads. I have heard that this
is the reason that Ben Franklin
wanted to make the wild turkey our national
bird instead of the eagle because of the bold
and vivid red white and blue color of the gob-
blers' head.
The wild turkey gobbler is a true American
native of this country and these brother gob-
blers are of the Osceola species, found only in
central and south Florida, which makes them
even more special.

Pack 5306 holds final


meeting of the year


ROBIN EDDINS
Times Correspondent
Tuesday, May 24, Pack 306 of
Wildwood held a Crossover and
Awards Ceremony for all mem-
bers of the pack
In addition to the Tigers,
Wolves, Bears and Webelos
crossing the bridge to the next
level of scouting the scout lead-
ers held a Raingutter Regatta for
all of the boys.
Each boy was given a sailboat
kit at last month's pack meeting
and they then shaped and deco-
rated them for the race. The boys
sailed their boats with pride
even if some of them were out of
breath from blowing the sail
from one end of the gutter to the
other.
Jimbo Eddins finished out the
races undefeated but the theme
of the races was sportsmanship
and camaraderie with many
boys sharing their boats with
those without or maybe just a
part of one here or there when
one child might need a new sail'
or rudder.


Awards were given to the boys
who had earned achievements
in the last month and Committee
Chair Gina Moore and
Cubmaster Steve Davis recog-
nized the leadership of the pack
with pins, knots and certificates
of appreciation. Clifford and
Lillie Shells were recognized for
their exceptional assistance to
the pack and dens.
Pastor Harry Holloman, of the
Wildwood Methodist Church,
,spoke briefly and said he was
proud of the pack that the
church has sponsored for the
past 24 years and thanked the
leaders and parents for their
participation and assistance to
make the pack run. He also men-
tioned that this fall's food drive
would be closer to home as the
church now has a food pantry to
"assist in serving those in need.
An annual pack planning
meeting is- scheduled for 6:30
tonight, June 2 at the Wildwood
Methodist Church. Any leader,
parent or those interested in
joining the pack are welcome
to attend.


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

For more than two dozen
girls and teens 'Just Acro" is a
part of life, but last Saturday,
May 21, it was the theme as
the youth hosted their fami-
lies and friends for their
annual recital.
It was "United We Stand" as
they based the event on patri-
otic songs.
Owner and coordinator Lori
Baker said she thought it was
appropriate and a way "To
thank our service people."
She said the students
worked in teams or as soloists,
performing to songs like
"Born inthe USA' and "Proud
to be an American."
While it was a showcase for
the girls to show what they've
learned this season, it was
also the perfect fundraiser for
the varsity and junior varsity
cheerleaders at South Sumter
High School. The cheerlead-
ers didn't have to do a thing to
rake in the cash.
Baker collects $5 per person
at the door of the recital to
pass on to the cheerleaders
for their annual needs.
Current expenses will be
steep it's time to purchase
new uniforms.
Along with the door charge,
people bought videos, pizza
and sodas, she said.
Her desire to raise funds for
cheerleaders and the school
comes from the fact that she
has one South Sumter High
School graduate and another
daughter who's just complet-
ed her junior year at South
Sumter High. That daughter
has been a cheerleader since
seventh grade, Baker said
adding that the cheerleaders
work hard all year long and
have quite a bit of expense
from the purchase of warm-up
and pep suits, pom-poms and,
sneakers to money that coach-
es Tina Pitts and Peggy Lamb
use to fund snacks and warm
drinks to welcome visiting


teams during some of the big-
ger games.
As for Just Acro, Baker said
some of the key things the kids
learn are tumbling, which
they can use in cheerleading.
But the most important aspect
she sees is that it's a self-
esteem builder
The joy she finds in having a
child succeed is written all
over her face when she talks
about their successes.
"The face of a child who's
mastered a trick is the reward
of teaching," she said with a
smile.
"We never say I can't," she
said with a laugh, as she
explained that they don't let
the kids say that. "We say I
haven't mastered it yet
"It takes me two or three
months to teach them to do a
simple cartwheel and all of a
sudden they just take off."
She said she loves watching
the personalities of the chil-
dren change as their confi-
dence level goes up.
"Even the babies," she said,
adding that their excitement
shows when they master a
move, saying, "I did it!"
Baker gets help from Coach
Rod Lewis who works spotting
and training the older girls in
round-offs and handsprings.
While Baker works her way
through the year, she's
impressed with Principal
Preston Morgan for his sup-
port of the program and in
scheduling the school gym for
the recital date without hesi-
tation. Baker said she asked
him to think about allowing
her to use the facility again
next year and he told her he
didn't have to she told her if
it was something for the kids,
then "absolutely."
She also said great things
about Billy and Debbie Ray of
the Sumter County Youth
Center and Mini Mall the
location where she's held her
classes. She said they made it
possible.
With more than 100 people

organization.

Critter CHAT J


The Humane Society/SPCA
of Sumter County
Sweetheart is a beautiful
horse now, but she was in
deplorable condition when
the Humane Society/SPCA
rescued her.
She was approximately 500
pounds underweight, and we
weren't sure if she was going
to live. But with the medical
care the Humane
Society/SPCA gave her, the
love of her foster family, and
her strong will to live,
Sweetheart is now a stunning
beauty.
She is a 3-1/2 year old Arab
cross. She has had no train-
ing, but is very willing.
Sweetheart lives up to her
name, with a very sweet per-
sonality. If you would like to
adopt Sweetheart, call the
Humane Society/SPCA of
Sumter County at 793-9117,
and leave your name,
address, and phone number.
Or e-mail us at:
humane@sum.net
A life comes into this world.
Helpless, innocent, and full
of promise. The future and
wellbeing of that life,
,whether human or animal,
will be determined by a
human being. A compassion-
ate person will offer love,


encouragement and under-
standing. And just as a beau-
tiful flower blossoms, so will
the life of the newborn. But
others will not be so lucky,
and will suffer a life of mis-
ery. Some animals are lucky
enough to be brought up by
loving people, just as some
children are. Others are not
so lucky, suffering abuse and
torture, just as it is with some
children.
When an animal is being
abused in a family, it is a reli-
able indicator that the chil-
dren or other family mem-
bers are suffering abuse also.
Florida State Statue 828.12
Cruelty to animals reads: (1) A
person who unnecessarily
overloads, overdrives, tor-
ments, deprives of necessary
sustenance or shelter, or
unnecessarily mutilates, or
kills any animals, or causes
the same to be done, or car-
ries in or upon any vehicle, or
otherwise,. any animal in
cruel or inhumane manner, is
guilty of a misdemeanor of
the first degree, punishable
as provided in s.775.082 or by
a fine of not more than $5,000,
or both.
The law is in place, yet ani-
mals are continually abused.
When animal abusers are not


prosecuted, or when repeat
offenders are continually
allowed back into society, the
public will be at risk of recur-
ring violent crimes. A society
that is more concerned about
protecting the rights of the
criminal and overlooks the
welfare of the victims,
whether the victim is animal
or human, will suffer the con-
sequences.
When teens commit acts of
violence on an animal that go
unpunished, and are not
offered psychological coun-
seling, (which they desper-
ately need) we the public,
should fear what kind of vio-
lent crimes may be commit-
ted throughout this persons'
lifetime. How many people as
well as animals will suffer at
the hands of the young crimi-
nal.
Why aren't the rights and
welfare of the public the top
priority of our judicial sys-
tem? Why are violent crimi-
nals with long rap sheets
being put back into our
neighborhoods? If a person
abuses an animal, they will
more than likely commit an
act of violence on a person.
Violence and abuse must be
stopped. No one is safe if it is
allowed to continue.
