BOB REICHMAN
Editor

City of Wildwood will be host-
ing a special community gath-
ering to help people prepare
for this year's hurricane sea-
son.
The Hurricane

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. "It's an oppor-
tunity to provide information
that needs to get out to every-
body"

Williams created a fiesta
theme wit sombreros, bright
colors and plenty of fun.
. She said two years ago, she
opted for a luau theme.
She called in the story-


telling duo to add to the fun.
Leonard, a former teacher,
said he could always get his
students attention with a
tale. He recalled one specific
time when he was trying to
encourage his class to com-
plete their long division
problems and quoted himself
from that day, "Did I ever tell
you about the time when I


blew up that gas station."
Once he said that to stu-
dents, he then offered to tell
it when they completed
their work
The list of tales that can be
worked include nostalgic,
folk, humorous, scary, holi-
days and animals, audience
participation, draw and tell
and children's.

Local Special Olympics athlete


attends Global Athlete


A Bushnell woman is
among only about 70 others
chosen from around the
world to participate in an
international assembly for
Special Olympics being held
in Panama this week
Mary Ann Gonzalez, 40, has
gone to the Special Olympics
Global Athlete Congress to
participate in discussions
about such issues as competi-
tion management and
fu nd raising.
"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

(Gonzalez)," said Sawyer.
"She is a perfect choice for
this Global Congress as she is
the county coordinator for,
Special Olympics Sumter and

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. The Congress will
be opened by President of
Panama Lic. Martin Torrijos
Espino and First Lady of
Panama Vivian Ferndndez de,
Torrijos. Special Olympics
founder Eunice Kennedy
Shriver was also scheduled to
be in attendance.

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.

Democrats hold special breakfast


Sandy Howell. assistant administrator, is shown securing a
string of black pearls for retiring deputy clerk Jan Kirkpatrick
while Jim Sparks looks on. 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.

"That %was an all-nighter"
The job has meant dealing
with a group',of five people
who sit on the board from
different places and all w ithl
different ideas of how things
need to be done, she said,
adding that it's a completely
different atmosphere these
days.
"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.

ROBIN EDDINS
Times correspondent

Saturday, May 28, marked
the second annual Jefferson
Jackson Breakfast for
Sumter County Democrats.
The more than 150 people
came to listen to Merlene
Frank, a college instructor:
who spoke on issues sur-
routinding President Bush's
proposed changes in Social
Security.
They also came to hear
newly elected Florida State
Democratic Chairwoman
Karen Thurman.
Thurman did not show.
"The following Tuesday:
Ms. Thunnmah called various
members of the Sumter
County DECto apologize pro-
fusely for the mi scom munti-
cation from her office
explainiing that she was
unaware of the meeting.,
said Democratic Executive
Corn mitteewoman Terry
Gilbert.
Gilbert said that she was
told that Thurnman plans to
make it up to Democrats in
Sumter: County and The
Villages.
Merlene Frank brought her
information on the Social
Security, Medicaid and
Medicare issues to the atten-
dees telling. them that the
president had referred to
non-working mothers as
'freeloaders' and that under
Bush's plan divorced hus-
bands could see to it -that
none of their funds would go
to an ex-wife in the event of
his death.
Under the current plan, if
a woman had been married
at least 10 years she would be

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.

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.

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

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."

"How do I decide which funeral
home to call when the time comes?"

Aside from the requirement that all funeral homes be
licensed by the state, some basic questions you might ask
when selecting a funeral home include: Are they flexible
enough to handle your specific needs? Are decisions made
locally or from an out-of-town corporate office? Are they,
full service? Do they sub-contract services such as
cremation or do they provide these options on-site?
Everyone has different priorities and questions about
funeral pre-planning. We invite your questions and we
will respect your priorities. Please call us for a no cost, no
obligation, no pressure appointment to get the facts on
how you can benefit from funeral pre-planning. ,

Plan today for peace of mind tomorrow!

The Sumter Special Olympics Delegation represented by 27 athletes and 10 volunteer coaches and chaperones paused for a group photo before the start of the Opening Ceremonies for the 2005
Special Olympics Florida State Summer Games at USF in Tampa. The Opening Ceremonies included the presentation of the Special Olympics flame by law enforcement officers from around the
state. After a month-long journey throughout the state, covering over 1,600 miles, the 2005 Florida Law Enforcement Torch Run for SOFL culminated in Tampa at the University of South Florida
on April 29 at the Opening Ceremony of the 2005 State Summer Games. The "Flame of Hope" was ushered in by the "Final Leg Team" law enforcement representatives from agencies throughout
the state chosen to be the final Guardians of the Flame. Preceded by an impressive processional of patrol cars, motorcycles and bicycles, with lights and sirens, the Final Leg team ran the Flame
of Hope into the packed stadium of over 3,500 spectators. Amid thundering applause from the crowd, Florida Highway Patrol Director, Colonel Christopher Knight, Hillsborough County Sheriff
David Gee and Tampa Police Department Chief Steve Hogue lead a pack of runners around the track. The torch was then passed to the final bearers, Special Olympics athlete William O'Connor of
Polk County and then finally, to Jessica Waller of Hillsborough County, who had the honor of lighting the cauldron, signifying the. games officially open. Statewide LETR Director, Major Gene
Stokes of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office remarked that it was one of the most impressive Torch Run Final Leg entrances in recent memory. Special thanks to all of the law enforcement
representatives who traveled to Tampa to take part in the Final Leg!

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.
PThe Salvation Army is a
Participating Agency with
United Way of Lake and
Sumter Counties, and the
Humtan Care Network.

SPECIAL HONORS FROM SCHOOL DISTRICT


Schools award Sumter Realty for

Outstanding Service to Schools


Richard Shirley,
Superintendent of Sumter
County Schools presented the
"District Outstanding Service
to Schools Award" to Sumter
Really Sumter Realty has two
offices, one in Bushnell, oper-
ated by Billy Merritt and his
son Evan Merritt, and one in
Lake Panasoffkee, operated by
Billy's other son, Joel Merritt
Evan Merritt serves on the
steering committee for the
Sumter Schools Enhancement
Foundation. Historically, the


foundation has been unable to
award scholarships to many of
the qualified students due to
the lack of funding. Realizing
this, Sumter Realty graciously
donated $5,000 to the founda-
tion. Sumter Realty was started
in 1959 and the office is a land-
mark in the city of Bushnell.
The business primarily serves
Sumter County but expands its'
listing outside the county in
special cases. The Merritt fam-
ily are lifelong residents of
Sumter County are icons of the


community. Joel, Evan, and
their sister Connie attended
school in Sumter County and
all graduated from South
Sumter High School in the
1970's. Billy is married to a for-
mer teacher, Dot Merritt, who
worked at Bushnell
Elementary for many years.

A large crowd of friends and
family attended in addition to
the 23 teams comprised of
approximately 300 boys and
girls with a meal of hot dogs,
hamburgers and plenty of mac-
aroni and cheese and all the
fixings to go along with them.
With cameras flashing, one
by one, team by tam by team the chil-
dren were called up to the
stage to receive their trophies
each one beaming with pride
as they walked back to their
parents.
Chris Herrod a South Sumter
High graduate, was presented
with a scholarship from the
Dixie Youth League. The hard
working young man was the
only recipient of the award in
the entire state of Florida.
Herrod told the crowd of
young ballplayers, "It's never
too early to plan ahead. Stick to
your goals and you can make
your plan work"
Taking time from cooking the
burgers anddogs, Coach Ron


Terryl Mitchell proudly shows his trophy and medallion earned
during this past season with the Bushnell dixie Youth League
Baseball.


Pitts said that his team Florida
Crushed Stone had made it to
the play offs.
"We're proud of all the kids,
each and every one of them.
They worked hard and 'they


deserve the appreciation."
The Bushnell League will be
hosting, the Major League
Tournament this coming 4th of
July weekend at the Kenny

I


Wild hog hunting Cracker style of the Bass Ranch


A's a boy growing up in
Taylor County, I was
L around wild hogs all the
time. 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

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

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

Hiking With The Hounds


Everyone enjoys going on
vacation. 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

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.
