The Hurricane Preparedness Community Gathering is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., at the Wildwood Community Center on County Road 139. The event includes a sub-, stantial number of. speakers from various agencies and businesses that quickly come to mind during hurricanes. Some of the speakers' include representatives of the Sumter County. Sheriff's Office, city utilities, fire departments, emergency .medical services, electricity, companies, emergency man- agement and insurance com- panies. "Our objective is to make all residents ofSumter County aware of hurricanes and how to prepare for one," said Brian Gibson, a firefighter and emergency medical technician for Battalion 3. Speakers will be given five to 10 minutes each to speak on key points involving the hurricane season and the role that their respective agencies play during the storms. "Our objective is to make all residents of Sumter County aware of hurricanes and how to prepare for one," said Brian Gibson, a firefight- er and emergency medical technician for Battalion 3. Gibson said the idea for the event was coordinated by the Wildwood fire department and Wildwood City Hall. "We decided it was impor- tant due to the severity that we had when we got with last year's storms," Gibson said. "It's important to prepare for the season and the communi- ty needs a heads up on how to prepare. "Last year proved that even though we're inland, we can get hit and we need to get ready now,' he said. Following the speakers, audience members will have an opportunity, to get their questions answered concern- ing hurricane preparedness. Questionnaires will be dis- tributed to, the audience will speakers responding to the questions. After that, the group will break and audience members will have an opportunity to speak one-on-one with the different speakers, Gibson said. The event is open to all res- idents, he said.

"I think this is a great opportunity," Gonzalez said of her trip to Panama. Gonzalez, who started out as a Special Olympics athlete when she was a child, was chosen to be one of only two Special Olympics athletes from Florida. She serves in a volunteer position as the county's Special Olympics coordinator because she loves spoils, and likes to see fellow athletes have a chance to compete. "I do it for the athletes." she said. I like to see them com- pete and achieve. It makes you feel good as a person." Gonzalez works as a clerk typist at SCARC, Inc. (Sumter County Association for Retarded Citizens), in Bushnell, but has had an interest in sports since she started competing in Special Olynpics as a ten-year-old. She has been county coordi- nator for Special Olympics for the past three years. Gonzalez was selected from hundreds of applicants from around the world. She was scheduled to be joined fellow Special Olympics Florida ath- lete Sam Finely, of Stuart, and accompanying Gonzalez and Finely will be Nancy Sawyer, Senior Vice President. Special Olympics Florida. "This is a tremendous honor for Mary Ann Special Olympics athlete Mary Ann Gonzalez was one of only about 70 worldwide chosen to attend the second Special Olympics Global Athlete Congress in Panama City, Panama this week. (Gonzalez)," said Sawyer. "She is a perfect choice for this Global Congress as she is the county coordinator for, Special Olympics Sumter and to our knowledge, she is the Woodmen of the World Omaha Woodmen Life Insurance Society only athlete who has assumed this volunteer role within Special Olympics." Sawyer added, "she is an extraordinary role model for other athletes; they've seen her not just as a competitor, but as a leader, representing her fellow athletes' concerns and opinions and that inspires other athletes to take a leadership role in the Special Olympics move- ment." In addition to overseeing the Special Olympics Sumter program, Gonzalez also serves on the Special Olympics United States Leadership Council as an ath- lete representative and she has been inducted into the Special' Olympics Florida Hall of Fame. The athletes, ranging in age from 16 to 50, represent all seven of the Special Olympics global regions and are serv- ing on the second Global Congress in Special Olympics history, creating a stronger voice for people with intellec- tual disabilities off the play- ing field and in a governmen- tal setting.

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2005, PAGE 3 InsideSUMTIER - Polce OR - Photos by Brenda Locklear Jan Kirkpatrick (seated, second from left) visits with Mary Virga (left), Sandy Dixon and Kirkpatrick's daughter. Kirkpatrick is retiring now. Virga retired from the Sumter County Sheriff's Office in recent years and Howell still works for the county. Clerk retires after 28 years BRENDA LOCKLEAR Staff Writer "Everyone that ever worked with her will really miss her." That's what County Administrator Bernard Dew thinks of the deputy clerk who's served with him since 1977. After nearly 30 years keep- ing records of County Commission board meetings, Jan Kirkpatrick is retiring. "She's always been very helpful," and evidently quite interested in sharing a laugh. or playing an occasional joke. De"w said he aud the other directors wanted to get some- thing to show their apprecia- tion for how helpful she had been to them. But Dew has his own times of sha ring with Kirkpatrick and. said, "When if think of Jan, I think of her great sense of humor. She's just a really pleasant person to work w ith." Kirkpatrick originally went to work for Burtori Marsh in the finance department of the Sumter County Clerk of the Court's Office. Not long after she got her job, her co-worker, Sandy Howell,, got pregnant. "They needed somebody to fill in for her and they 'said, 'Okay Jan, you're going to do_ that'" "I do the clerk's work for the board or the board's work for the clerk," she said. At the time, county commis- sioners met in what's now the tag office at the Sumter County Courthouse. 'The administration office was housed behind that room. "It was truly cramped - there were a lot of people crammed down there." At the time, the 'entire staff could pretty much see each other clearly and it was common practice for them to play prac- tical jokes on each other.

County administration members County Administrator Bernard Dew. Robbie Rogers, Howell, and Sparks and Public Works Director Tommy Hurst joined the funds to purchase the pearls for Kirkpatrick and present them to her at her retirement party last week. Eventually the offices were mo\"ed to their location on the second floorr at the courthouse and separated. Kirkpatrick was working for the clerk's office,, while Howell and County Administrator Bernard Dew were assigned directly to the county commis- sioners. They may have changed locations but the practical jokes lived on. Even during, Kirkpatrick's retirement party, laughs were a big part of the event especially 'when she was with Dew and Howell. 'As the county grew so did all our jobs," she said. "More paperwork. More, people :coming in seeking information." And she's had some memo- rable experiences, especially one particular budget work- shop. "Several of the commission- ers were deadlocked on some- thing I don't even remember what and we stayed all night I think they sent me home around two or three o'clock in the morning and I was back at eight in the morning. That was a one time thing," she said, recalling some of the commis- sioners on the board at that time Harry Lovett, Bill Wing and WB. Jones.

"It's been a good experi- ence." "I've been through quite a few commissioners," she said with a laugh. "Everybody has a different idea of how things should be," explaining that the board of five is five people with five ideas. "It can be interesting. Being a commissioner is not an easy job and every commissioner has to learn. "And they're very wise to sit back and see what is really going on before they try to make changes. "It behooves them to just learn," she said. "In a lot of cases change can be good if it has a good pur- pose; it's good. Change just for change is not" As for herself, Kirkpatrick said she's grown too.

Another VOICE Law signed today provides new protections for homeowners Thser's60da sesion cetd This year's 60-day session, created, tougher laws for child sex offenders, across-the-board tax relief. and reforms to the state's Medicaid program and growth-management laws. Equally important were insurance measures approved by state lawmakers. With the start of what is expected to be another active hurricane season, 'Governor Jeb Bush signed into law on June 1 a measure that provides several new protections to Florida homeown- ers. ... First, the law prohibits insurance companies from "non-renewing" or can- celing policies of hurricane victims until 90 days after the completion of storm repairs. This effectively eliminates the practice of companies canceling their policyholders and leaving them at risk of being uninsurable. Another provision requires insurance companies to pay replacement costs up front without making homeowners jump through additional hoops to get the money owed to them for repairs. These two provisions were the source of much frustration among homeowners I spoke with at town hall meetings around the. state. But last year's storms also prompted a clear demand from storm victims for .simpler, easy-to-understand insurance policies. The new law now requires insurance companies to offer a checklist that insur- ers must fill out so policyholders can see what is and what is not covered, along with a simple outline of their coverage. It also requires insurers to offer a range of hurricane deductibles and to disclose the cost that could result from each choice, including impact on premi- ums and out-of-pocket expenses. The law also expedites the claims process by requiring an insurance company to noti- fy the insured of the progress of the claim within 14 days. These changes will help homeowners better navigate complicated insurance policies and put homeowners on a more equal footing with their insurer Under the new law, Floridians will also have the opportunity to purchase up to 50 percent in "law and ordinance" coverage to help rebuild their storm- damaged homes to meet new and more. stringent building codes. Other important changes in the new, Jaw include requiring a public hearing for any rate requests that exceed 15 per- cent: establishing a low-interest loan program to help homeowners retrofit their homes and reduce hurricane loss- es; and charging the Auditor General: with conducting an operational audit of Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, the state's insurer of last resort. Certainly, the unprecedented storm season of 2004 may reveal more changes are necessary to help Floridians weath- er future storms. This new law is anoth-. er step in the right direction and will position Floridians to be better protect- ed and prepared for future hurricane seasons.

A Special thanks to Chief Dennis Johnson and Mayor Steve Croft for giving the opportunity to make this event happen! Officers A Sanders Hoffman's plan loses good workers Commissioner Dick Hoffman (representing The Villages) is at the chopping block again. For years Sumter County has been struggling to bring its county employees up to a salary compa- rable to surrounding counties. Having finally, accomplished that and maintaining a staff of dedicat-' ed men and women who make it their job to serve county residents and take care of problems throughout the county to the best of their ability: Mr. Hoffman wants- it to stop. These public servants. your county employees have families and bills too; including the 50 per- cent of employees that were just cut at the Solid Waste Facility. They are not retired, and do not have a job such as showing up on approximately 39 Tuesday nights a year that pays a whopping $37.500. Sure the commissioners have to listen to complaints, ifthey can be found or reached for com- ment. Seems to me that's a pretty good salary for showing up on Tuesday nights. Looks like Mr. Hoffman and his fellow commissioners are even up for another nice increase in their salary this year. Seems a bit unfair to me: especially when we have men and women that have been in the county system for years and still aren't making $25,000 a year. Enough Mr: Hoffman, Sumter County and its people are deserv- ing of these fine men anid women who make public service their job. whatever the job description may be. We need these folks, all of them: we don't need to lose them to other counties who are willing to step up to the plate for them and provide a competitive salary package: We need our own Suitmter County people right here in Sumter County. We don't want things&run the way they are where- you came from. If the Board of Commissioners start cutting salaries like you're suggesting, we will be losing a lot of these folks to other counties. I for one do not want to see that happen. That said, maybe The Villages does, so They can continue their take-over 'of Sumter County. Lonnie Cash Oxford Moving away from Republicans After working so hard since 1979- to get the Republican Party up and running in Sumter County,.I am now ready to resign and switch to the Libertarian party. Why? You may ask. Now that the Republicans have a majority for the first time. Simply because the RNC is now controlled by former Democrats calling themselves Republicans to get elected. I refer to folks like Mr. Martinez, Lindsay Graham etc., who call themselves "centrist" but cave in to the Democrats, when they have victory i n their grasp if they would go by what the founders of the republic wrote in the Constitution. These true Democrats say that the Constitution is a rolling docu- ment that is meant to be changed when a majority wishes to change it e What they ignore is the way the constitution spells put ways to make such changes. Changes should be made by amendments that. are ratified by the states. What we have otherwise is a democracy, and ,the founders meant for this to be a "democratic republic. A democracy amounts to mob rule, as presented by the Democrats. According t the Constitution there is no way that a minority should be allowed to hold up pres- idential appointments by use of the filibuster. Now since the Republicans have control, but lack the back- bone to use it, I will look for a j party that will play by the rules. I believe the Libertarian party will do thatL SR.EWeir Bushnell What a great job they've done Other than telling us how to live. think, marry, pray, vote, invest, educate our children, and now die, I think the Republicans have done a fine job of getting govern-. ment out of our personal lives.

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2005, PAGE 5 VETERAN GROUPS PROVIDE SUPPORT 162 teenagers receive sports physical Members of the VFW Post 10137 and Auxiliary, American Legion Post 101 and Auxiliary, American Legion Post 101 Sons of the American Legion, Amets 793, American Legion Post 10 40&8 and Lake Panasoffkee VFW Post 10084 and Auxiliary joined together to donate an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to South Sumter High School. Representatives from the organizations are shown here on the day the defibrillator was donated. The device is portable and analyzes the heart's rhythm. If needed, rescuers can use the device to deliver an electric shock to a victim of sudden cardiac arrest, which may put the heart back in normal rhythm. Veteran organization representatives watched as an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) was demonstrated. The defibrillator can be used in case of emergency and may make a difference in getting a person the emergency medical assistance they need. The AED is portable and ana- lyzes the heart's rhythm and, if needed, delivers an electric shock to a victim of sudden cardiac arrest. The idea is to halt the rapid or chaotic heart activity in a case of cardiac arrest and help the heart get back to a normal rhythm. The AED is similar in size to a laptop computer. Tracy W. Johns named warden Tracy Johns was selected as the warden at the Federal Correctional Complex (FCC), Coleman. He reported to. the FCC Coleman effective May 1. Warden Johns began his career in 1984 as a correction- al officer at the United States Penitentiary, Marion. 11l. He has held positions of increasing responsibility at USP Marion; USP Leavenworth, Kansas; FCI Tucson, Arizona; FPC Eglin, Florida; FCI Jesup, Georgia; and the North Central Regional Office, Kafisas City, ,Kansas, before being named as associate warden at USP Lewisbuirg, Penn. Johns has also served as the Correctional Services admin- istrator in, the Bureau of Prisons' Central Office in Washington, D.C. Prior to his assignment to Coleman, he served as warden at FCI Loretto. Johns is a native of Illinois. He and his wife, Jan, have two teenage sons, Matthew and Casey On Saturday, May 21, 162 South Sumter Middle and High School students lined up for their sports physical. The teenagers had the opportunity to receive free physical in advance of the upcoming school sports year. South Sumter High School Coach Sherman stated that this opportunity has been available to parents and students at least as far back at 1984, when he began coaching. However, in past years, stu- RETIRES continued from Page-3 The job remained a learn- ing experience. "Because the laws change. Things you've been doing for a long time can change overnight." The job has also kept her on top of things in her home county that's something else she's going to miss. "When you're here, you do know (what's really going on) and I think that's one of the things that average person on the street doesn't know," - unless they attend the Commission meetings, she said, adding that she wished more people would attend regularly. "Unless it affects them, they don't bother to come to meet- ings or become involved and that's too bad that's really too bad." Some of the issues that have drawn crowds over the years have included the effort of two men who worked to open a gay-oriented bed and break- fast in Wahoo, the debate over dents have always had to be bused to Lake County for a joint Lake-Sumter venture. This is the first year that South Sumter has attempted to "stand on its own" and Coach Sherman thinks it was a great success. The event was organized by a dual effort between Sherman, athletic director at South Sumter High School and John Kinley, athletic director at South Sumter Middle School. They also had assistance from bringing a landfill to Center Hill and the creation of the state's Comprehensive Plan for Sumter County, which she said included long meetings and workshops. And while those issues drew crowds, there were some important issues that didn't, including redistricting. People "evidently didn't realize that it was an impor- tant issue," she said. "One Sumter was the same way." She's seen tremendous change during her nearly three decades on staff, but said, "It's still great place to live. ' "The people are wonderful and there are still old timers around, like my family." As for the strengths she's had in her job, she said she's "Just a plain ole' country girl doing the best that I can with what I have." Dew, Howell and other county directors Tommy Hurst, Jim Sparks and Robbie Rogers, chipped in to give her an unexpected retirement gift - a string of black pearls. They presented them dur- ing her bon voyage party at the courthouse last week. Athletic Trainer Kim Cross. The exams were done not only to give parents a financial break and an early start on the coming school year, but also to help accommodate parents who would otherwise have to take time off from their normal workweek. The physical were done in the South Sumter High School gym. Stations were set up for visual exams, height and weight, plod pressure and pulse. "I didn't expect any gift. I knew about the party and that we were going to have food, but I wasn't expecting any gift," she said, adding that Dew had taken her and sever- al co-workers out for a retire- ment dinner already .She'll miss the interaction with people. "Especially the people I work with," she said, adding that they're wonderful. "When you work that long with people it's like family." That means you know their ups and downs and what they're going through. She'll also miss all the "old- timers," she said. And while she'll miss her co-workers her second fami- ly, she'll spend time with her first -her grandkids. One is her daughter Terry's son Rudy and the other, her daughter Kim's daughter Tymber. She plans to "do what I feel like doing. No clocks, no schedules." She said for once in 28 years she's going to do nothing. "Which will be a complete change not having to get up and keep to a timetable." Your business running shorthanded?

The Salvation Annrmy seeks help for hurricane season "We are heading into this year's hurricane season and we want to 'be prepared for meal service to those who may serve in the Sumter County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) as well as workers and others who are impacted by the storms," said Bill Stewart, administrator for The Salvation Army Sumter County Service Center. "We are hopeful that churches and other groups, who have facili- ties and would be available to prepare meals, will let us know of their interest. Last year there were several churches that stepped for-\ ward and we hope that they and others will be available, should the need arise again," he added. Last year 20 to 40 meals were provided, three times a day, to workers at the Sumter County Emergency Operations Center as well as some of the fire stations' and to people at a community shelter. Meals that are not provided by others are pre- pared by The Salvation Army at the EOC. Preparation space and equipment is limited and assistance by others is appre- ciated. "We were very blessed by those that assisted with meals during the storms in 2004 and we are hopeful that they and others will be available again this year. Of course we hope that this year's weather will be milder and that all our preparations will not need to be called into action," said Stewart ; During emergencies and disasters The Salvation Army provides food service and other support services to the EOC. Meals and other sup- plies are also provided in the 'field via the mobile canteens. For more information -regarding disaster services and the local efforts of The Salvation Army, please call Bill Stewart at 352-568-2284.

Most of our neighbors had a few wild hogs ranging free in the vast San Pedro Bay swamp where the hogs for- w..q" aged off the land g until the early fall = and then they were either trapped or caught with dogs. - Cattle were also allowed to range on the open land and both the hogs and cows ears were marked to show JAMIE' ownership of the Outdoo valuable livestock """""- and the marks and cattle brands were registered in the local courthouse. This practice of free ranging livestock was followed all over Florida up until sometime in the 1940s when in most coun- ties livestock was required to be fenced up. With the population in the state exploding and new high- ways being built fromone end of the state to the other, it made good sense to either fence the free ranging cattle and hogs up or get out of the business. With this in mind, most folks who did not out- right own enough of their own land or could not lease land at a price low enough to justify staying in the hog and cattle business, sold off their stock and got out of the business altogether. Those folks who had enough land and could afford to fence it up kept their hogs and cat- tle. The cattle were the main- stay of the ranchers but the hogs now had to be kept under some kind of rigid control because a bunch of hogs can devastate a pasture in no time. . Good friends, it is no easy undertaking to rid a place of wild hogs or to keep their r c) r' numbers under control if the ranch or piece of property has any rough woods on it Wild hogs have adapted very well in the more than 400 years they have been run- ning free in the "" state. I have heard it said on several occasions that hogs were first brought Sto Florida by the early Spanish explorers but I .don't really know for sure if that is a fact or not. I do ADAMS know that they are Writer talked about a lot in the historical books written about Florida. Anyway, I had the good for- tune to be invited down to Elwin and Pat's ranch near the Kissimmee River Valley this past week end to join them on, a sure nuff Cracker hog hunt I have hunted hogs all over the state many times but I had not ever had the opportunity' to hunt hogs the way Mr Elwin gets it done. Not long after first daylight we were wakened to the won- derful smell of Mrs. Pat cook- ing breakfast. In my opinion, bacon and sausage frying in the pan along with the strong aroma of real coffee perking is a little bit of heaven on earth and sure brings back a heap of old and fond memories. Right after breakfast, Chipper Abbe from Citrus County, his nephew Cody Johnston and Major Bellamy III and I joined Mr. Elwin at the horse lot and after sad- dling up the horses took off in search of some wild hogs that had been rooting up Mr. Elwin's pasture big time. Mr. Elwin's wife, Pat, after feeding us all a mighty fine log rolling country breakfast joined us for the days hunt and with a bunch of trail and Elwin Bass (rear), far side Chipper Abbe, near side Cody Johnston loading a wild hog caught on the Bass Ranch in South Florida near the Kissimmee Valley north of Lake Okechobee. catch dogs leading the way we headed out for Ash Slough and Walker Hammock to try and rid their ranch of a few hogs. We had hardly gone any dis- tance at all before the dogs winded a hog in a patch of rough palmettos and the first race was on. After only a short chase, the dogs had the first hog of the day bayed up and caught. The hog, which had only one ear, was quickly tied up and put in a box and we were off to catch another. The hogs down at the Bass Ranch can be mean and over the years a lot of good dogs, have been cut up bad and some even killed .outright by big boar hogs sporting long sharp tusks:. On this day, how- ever, the dogs all managed to get the job done \ without being cut buLt they sure were worn out and sore footed after cov- ering the miles of rough woods following the horses and catching a bunch of hogs. Hog hunters like Chipper and his buddies really enjoy' hunting with their dogs and many of the hog dogs ancestry can be traced back for many ,generations. This is always a major topic of sometime heat- ed but mostly friendly discus- sion anytime a group of seri- ous hog hunters get together and talk about bad hogs and Incidentally, Mrs. Pat is the the good dogs that caught state treasurer of the Florida them.

I particularly like hiking in the Smokies and Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. The air is cool and the scenery is breathtaking. And the best part of all is that we can go hiking with our hounds! We met my nephew Jason, his wife Renee, and their dog Cosmo in Franklin, N.C. this past week One of our first hikes was in the Nantahala National Forest, through a beautiful area famous for it's many waterfalls. I had the three Beagles, Rosie, Daisy and Joshua (our fourth Beagle, Honey, prefers to stay at home and be a couch pota- to). Off we went down the trail to see Dry Falls. Why they call it Dry Falls, I don't know, but it is spectacular. Especially where you can walk behind the falls, and hear the roar of the water and feel the mist of the falls. But if you think it was excit- ing for us humans, you should have seen the hounds! Their noses were sniffing in high gear, and their tails never stopped wagging. People stopped along the trail to pet them,, but they never lifted their noses from the floor of the forest That evening, it was chilly enough for us to start a fire in the fireplace. We toasted marshmallows and the dogs got their first taste of the gooey treats. Everyone' laughed as the hounds tried to .eat the gooey insides of the marshmallows. Another day we went just over the North Carolina line to Black Rock State Park in Georgia. Once again the hounds accompanied us. We stood on top of the mountain and enjoyed beautiful views of mountain ranges as far as the eye can see. We took pic- tures of the Beagles and their cousin, Cosmo in the pictur- esque surroundings, and chil- dren came over to pet the dogs ,~ .--'WI 1'. ~2 Linda Graves stands with her dogs, her nephew Jason, his wife Renee and their dog Cosmo, in Franklin N.C. and give them hugs. Later we 'all went to an outside caf6 with the hounds and had ice cream. Of course the dogs got a treat too. Taking your pet on vaca- tion, or including them in faim- ily activities is not only fun for your pet, but you will enjoy the experience in a whole new way. I can't tell you how many people stopped to pet our dogs, and then told us how much they missed their pet that ,they left at home. Pets should be a partil of your fami- ly, so do fun things with them. take them to fun places, and give your fuirry companion a fun time he can bark home about.
