The new administrator will be replacing Bernard Dew, who's been working for the county for over 30 years. Dew told the county commission at a June 14 board meeting he plans to retire July 1, 2006. Before he became adminis- trator, Dew served four years in the United States Air Force and worked in the clerk of cir- cuit court's office while attending college in the early 1970's. When Dew began his tenure in 1983 as the first county administrator, he said Sumter was "fairly laid-back and much more rural." The said what he misses most about those days is because of the smaller popu- lation, he got to "know most people (in the county) in some way." Even so, Sandee Howell says through the years she has hardly ever seen Dew turn someone who came to see him away, employee or otherwise. Howell has worked with Dew since 1975. and when the county administrator's office was created, she took the posi- tionofassistant county admin- istrator, and has held the posi- tion ever since. ' "Bernard is. a very, very kind person and very thought- ful of people," she said. "I think that's one quality no one will ever be able to replace." But after so many years of service and hard work, "he deserves a good retirement." Howell said. "It's going to be a big change for all of us who work here." County Commissioner Jim Roberts, who has worked with Dew as a commissioner for six years and known him person- ally for another 10, said Dew has had an excellent career. "He has served the county for a long time and we're going to miss him.

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 2005 Pan and friends fly in for fun Man gets gator BRENDA LOCKLEAR Staff Writer It was a raving success and an absolute blast for stu- dents, teachers and the audi- ence. Peter Pan, Tink, Tiger Lilly and the entire crew flew into Webster Elementary School last month, as Nicole Turner's second-grade class took the stage for their pres- entation of Peter Pan. Starlet mom Missy Adkinson helped with scene changes. "The costumes were great and the scenery was wonder- ful," she said. '"All the kids knew their lines and worked very hard. It was a great' experience for the kids." Adkinson's daughter, Kristal, said, "Mrs. Turner let us do a play because we did- n't get to go on a field trip. Our class loved the movie Peter Pan and we all wanted to do it. It was really fun." "The performance was incredible. The play had beauty, adventure, and come- dy. The action flowed perfect- ly. The cast gave a profes- sional performance and made every character believ- able. I was totally impressed ,nd my students and I enjoyed it thoroughly," said teacher Lynn Thomas. Teacher Wendi Robison helped make the scenery, played the mom and even donated her real dog Bingo for the play. Bingo is a spaniel mix. Robison said she was more than happy to help Turner, adding that Turner. "Did a fabulous job." She said Turner, the kids and all the helpers put the entire thing together in four weeks, from start to finish. "It was really good." "She's so organized and she's just wonderful."' Turner interned at Webster Elementary and has since taught both kindergarten and second grade. She's been a teacher for the past two' years. Robison has a history with drama presentations at the school. She was half of a team that used to put togeth- er annual performances, but notes that the focus has become so strong on FCAT testing that it's impossible to put together a major per- formance on such limited time. , Robison said giving a child a chance to do a theatrical performance can bring out things in that child that they didn't even realize they were capable of. She said bringing out those hidden talents is something' she thrives for. bite, court date AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer Pnotos courtesy Lynn I nom Levi Perez is shown on the drums (left) as Tiger Lilly Indian princess Jasallin Albarran (cen- ter) takes center stage.

A ,Wildwood man learned that lesson the hard way last Tuesday, June 14, when he tangled with an alligator and ended up in the hospital. Between 10 and 11 that evening; an alligator between * 7 and 8 feet in length was spot- ted walking across the park- ing lot of the Economy Inn in Wildwood. That's when wit- nesses say 43-year-old as William Benjamin Evans, a as four-month resident at Economy Inn, approached the giant reptile, "harassing the alligator and poking it in the stomach with a broom han- dle," according to Joy Hill, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation spokesperson. The animal then "whipped around and grabbed his ankle," resulting in lacera- tions to his ankle. He was taken to the hospital L where he was to be treated for injuries, and has been charged with attempting to take/possess an alligator, a second-degree misdemeanor. S Hill said the explanation the man gave authorities dif- American Red Cross urges caution during heat wave The elderly and the very young are the most susceptible to heat illness As the summer brings hot temperatures and high humid- ity, the American Red Cross of Florida's Coast to Coast Chapter urges residents to take precautions against the heat According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 400 Americans die each year due to summer's sweltering heat Furthermore, the National Weather Service asserts that excessive heat was the number one weather-related killer, causing more fatalities per year than floods, lightning tor- nadoes, hurricanes, winter storms and extreme cold from 1994 to 2003. Everyone is at risk when temperatures rise above 90 degrees but the elderly and the very young are most suscepti- ble to heat and heat-related ill- nesses. Heat-related illnesses can cause serious injury and even death if unattended. Signs of heat-related illnesses include nausea, dizziness, flushed or pale skin, heavy seating and headaches. Victims of heat-related illness should be moved to a cool place, given cool water to drink and ice packs or cool wet cloths should be applied to the skin. If a victim refuses water, vomits or loses consciousness, call 9-1-1 or your local emer- gency number immediately. "Our goal is to mitigate emergencies by educating the community about how they can *protect themselves and their families' from heat-related ill- ness," said Mariellen Teeters, Chapter Manager of the Florida's Coast to Coast. . Chapter Red Cross Heat Safety Tips: Dress for the heat. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. Light colors will reflect away some of the sun's energy It is also a good idea to wear hats or to use an umbrel- la. Drink water Carry water or juice with you and drink con- tinuously even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which dehydrate the body. Avoid using salt tablets unless directed to do so by a physician. Eat small meals and eat more often. Avoid high-protein foods, which increase metabol- ic heat. Slow down. Avoid strenuous activity. If you must do strenu- ous activity, do it during the coolest part of the day, which is usually in the morning between 4 anid 7 a.m. , Stay indoors when possible. If air-conditioning is not avail- able, stay on the lowest floor out of the- sunshine. Remember that electric fans, do not cool, they simply circu- late the air. Be a good neighbor. During heat waves, check in on elderly residents in your neighbor- hood and those who do not have air conditioning. Learn Red Cross first aid and CPR. While the above tips can help prevent emergencies, it is crucial to know what to do if an emergency situation aris- es. Know what these heat-relat- ed terms mean: Heat cramps: Heat cramps are muscular pains and spasms due to heavy exertion. Although heat cramps are the least severe, they are an early signal that the body is having trouble with the heat Heat exhaustion: Heat exhaustion typically occurs when' people exercise heavily or work in a hot, humid place where body fluids are lost through heavy sweating. Blood flow to the skin increases, causing blood flow to decrease to the vital organs. This results in a form of mild shock If not treated, the victim may suffer heat stroke. ture will be near normal.

She said he told them the alligator came across the parking lot and attacked him. Hill said the gator was "probably just heading for another wetland area," and that the weather had been very rainy, which increases the animal's activity Evans could face a maxi- mum of 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. As with all alligators that have attacked a person, nuisance alligator trappers were contacted and removed the animal. The trappers con- tract with FWC to catch and harvest the animals for their meat and hide. The same penalties exist for feeding an alligator, which is also a second-degree misde- meanor. Hill advises enjoying alligators from afar, without coming in contact with them or feeding them. 'Alligators don't routinely seek out people to bite or attack," she said. "In this case he just got too close to the alli- gator. "If the gator isn't bothering anything, just leave it alone and it will go where it's trying to go," she said. She said if an alligator is felt to be a danger to people, pets or property, call the FWC nuisance alligator hotline at 1-866-FWC-GATOR (4286). 0 n SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 2005, PAGE 3 Insde SUMMER Accident leaves three dead, five injured AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer Three people were killed and five were injured Saturday, June 18, in a vehicle accident that happened just south of Bushnell on Interstate 75. The tragic accident occurred when the driver of a 1998 Ford Explorer lost con- trol for unknown reasons and collided with an oncoming vehicle.

Another VOICE Bronson warns consumers to check pest control compares Florida Agriculture and 'Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bronson is urging consu mers to check on pest control companies prior to signing a contract for service. 'The Department's Division of Agricultural Environmental Services regulates pest control companies through licensing and requires specif- ic training for -professional applica- tors. The division also regulates the types, of pesticides that can be used in this state. Last year, the division's Bureau of Entomology and Pest Control conducted nearly 3,500 inspections of pest control activity and discovered 120 illegal operators. Action taken against those companies included fines, cease-and-desist orders, and in some cases criminal action. . Florida's climate and vegetation. attracts many types of insect and plant pests. The warmer and wetter weather may prompt many people to turn to professional pest control com- panies to help control common house- hold pests and termites, and to help keep their lawns and yards safe from damaging pest insects and weeds.. As a result, Florida has one of the largest pest control industries in the nation, with almost 4,000 licensed companies and over 30,000 people making their living providing these services to Floridians. The majority of the businesses fol- low the rules, but there are some peo- ple who offer pest control services without being properly trained and licensed. "Pest control is an important serv- ice that can protect a person's home and health," Bronson said. "But pest control performed by untrained or unlicensed people is no bargain. At best, the service will be ineffective, and at worst, can be dangerous if they use the wrong materials or put pesti- cides in the wrong place." There is also the potential that per- sons posing as pest control employees can gain access to a person's home, in order to commit crimes. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services requires that all people engaged in the pest control industry carry a, photo ID card at all times when per- forming these services. The ID card will have the licensed company name and address along with the name and identification card number of the holder. ID card holders must be employees of licensed companies, and have continuing training in pest control and safety measures. , Licensed companies also must maintain insurance coverage, which can help protect consumers in the event of errors made by the company or in the.event:of accidents. The problem of unlicensed compa- nies and individuals is particularly bad when it comes to lawn care com- panies. There are many lawn care compa- nies in Florida. but no company can apply any pesticides for weed control or lawn insect control unless properly' licensed by the Department. Companies that apply pesticides with- out being licensed are unlikely to have properly trained individuals doing the work, or to have appropri- ate insurance coverage. Unlicensed pest control is also against the law, and can result in fines and even criminal prosecution. "Consumers should make sure that any pest control services, including lawn care that includes weed control or insect control, are properly licensed by the department," Bronson said. "That is the only way for con- sumers to be assured that the people they are paying are trained and supervised properly." Consumers with questions about pest control companies should call the department's toll-free hotline at 1- 800-HELPFLA (1-800-435-7352) to find out if the company is properly regis- tered and to ask about the complaint history of the business. lbl*o a "0Copy rig hted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" Your VOICE A comment to Congressman Nancy Pelosi If you would present yourself here in Bushnell.

JackBratton, Bushnell DOD announces Korean Defense Service Medal Public Law 107-314 legislated the creation of a new medal to recognize military service in the Republic of Korea and the surrounding waters. 'Members of the armed forces authorized the KDSM must, have served in support of the defense of, the Republic of Korea. The area of' eligibility encompasses all land area of the Republic of Korea, and the contiguous water out to 12 nautical miles, and all air spaces above the land and water areas. , The KDSM period of eligibility is July 28; 1954, to a future date to be determined by the secretary of defense. Service members must have been assigned, attached, or mobilized to units operating in the area of eligi- bility and have been physically deployed in the area of eligibility for 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days or meet one of the fol lowing cri- teria: Be engaged in actual combat during an armed engagement,, regardless of the time in the area of eligibility. Is wounded or injured in the line of duty and requires medical evacuation from the area of eligibili- ty. While participating as a regular- ly assigned air crewmember flying sorties into, out of, within, or over the area of eligibility in support of mili- tary operations. Each day that one or more sorties are flown in accordance with these criteria shall count as one day toward the 30 or 60-day require- ment Personnel who serve in opera- tions and exercises conducted in the area of eligibility are considered eli- gible for the award as long as the basic time criteria is met. Due to the extensive time period for KDSM eli- gibility, the nonconsecutive service period for eligibility remains cumu- lative throughout the entire period. The KDSM may be awarded posthumously, and only one award of the KDSM is authorized for any indi- vidual. Each military department will prescribe appropriate regulations for administrative processing, awarding and wearing of the KDSM and -ribbon for their service mem- bers, to include application proce-. dures for veterans, retirees, and next-of-kin. More than 40,000 members of the U.S. armed forces have served in the Republic of Korea or the waters adjacent thereto each year since the signing' of the cease-fire agreement in July 1953, which established the Demilitarized Zone. For more than 50 years, U.S. Armed Forces' efforts to deter and defend the Korean Peninsula have helped maintain democracy and preserve the indomitable spirit of freedom.

Congresswoman Giny Brown-Waite T his past Thursday, President Bush and members of his administration officially kicked off the new Medicare prescription drug benefit tour. The speech was given at the - Department of Health Human and Human Services (HHS), Attending the event were Bush Cabinet heads Mike Leavitt, HHS; Elaine L. Chao, Labor; Alphonso Jackson, Housing and Urban Development; R. James Nicholson, Veterans Affairs; and Norman Y.- Mineta, Transportation. D Also in attendance was Ro former Louisiana senator John Breaux, one of only two Democrats allowed on the law's negotiation committee. Notably absent was former power- ful congressman and chairman of the House Commerce Committee, Billy Tauzin (R-LA). Tauzin is often referred to as the architect of the Medicare Modernization, Improvement, and Prescription Drug Act of 2003 (MMA). He is now the CEO of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association of America (PhRMA). This stumping tour comes after the president's highly unsuccessful 60 days, which turned into a 90-day tour for the modernization or reform of Social Security Bringing his case to the people (remember, after a disgraceful inabil- ity to have Americans sign up for the Medicare discount card) is another tactical mistake of this administra- tion. The president's intention has been to rejuvenate the Reagan revolution; however, Bush is no Ronald Reagan! With five months left before the official sign-up date .of Nov. 15, perhaps the president and all the president's people are a bit late. But then, again, Bush has wasted the first six months of his second term illuminating "we the peo- ple" of the merits of Social AN Security reform. Every HAN time the president speaks of this reform, he loses the interest of Americans of every age group. Stop! The 109th Congress will never vote oh this proposal. Congress will soon take its summer recess and, when members return in the fall, they will be only one year away from re-elec- tion. And during the second term of the 109th in 2006, members will be running not only to save their own seats, but running from this very unpopular proposal. At present, at least 40 Republican members of Congress will not vote yea for this pro- posal. So, why is it that Bush is going back on the stump, this time for prescrip- tion drugs? The reason given is to form a net- work of citizens to help one another explain and help fill out the applica- tions for the new benefit The true reason is that Bush, the GOP, and many congressional Republicans do not want to let PhRMA and the industry down. They want- the 225 classes of drugs that were promised them, and not the 146 presently suggested. United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) was given the MMA. contract to determine the proposed list of classes of medications. And it has proposed 146. It is the job of USP to create the classes of medications to cover med- ical conditions that create the need for us to use prescription medica- tions, such as anti-inflammatories, cholesterol-lowering, hypertension and so on. However, PhRMA wants what it was promised. In 1999, then Gov. George W Bush did not even know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid. Bush has not done anything for the ageing, indigent, uninsured (we never hear about America's disgrace, the uninsured). For that matter, I have not noticed any beneficial domestic poli- cy in the past 41/2 years. I have used kid gloves with Bush and his cronies. However, if I truly choose to advocate for the ageing and Medicare beneficiaries, I must now put the blame where it belongs! If you disagree, talk to me in 2007.

Storms led FEMA to online innovations Working in cooperation with the State of Florida, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) used technological innova- tions to help meet some of the challenges brought by the historic 2004 hurricane sea- son. Improvements included the introduction of online registration capability, as well as the creation of three new Web sites. Online registration de- buted on FEMAs official web site on Oct. 1, 2004, providing applicants with the option of registering online for disas- ter assistance. Following the unprecedented 2004 hurri- canes, 26,277 of the 1,247,810 Floridians who registered with FEMA did so online. With billions of dollars in disaster assistance at stake, the state of Florida and FEMA turned to an online solution to allow local, coun- ty and state officials to track their applications. The Florida Public Assistance Web site Was developed through collaboration among FEMA, the State Emergency Response Team,. and a pri- vate company, MB3 Online. When hurricanes ren- dered tens of thousands, of housing units unusable, FEMA sought a common -electronic forum to bring, together those with available rental resources and those in need of rental housing. Designed in partnership with Florida State University, the result was Disaster Housing Resources Online. Scam artists and un- scrupulous, unlicensed con- struction workers often prey on disaster victims. To coun- teract that prospect after Florida's 2004 hurricanes, FEMA, in cooperation with Florida State University, cre- ated this resource to link individuals, renters, and homeowners with legitimate, Florida licensed contractors. The State Emergency Response Team (SERT) is a collaboration of Florida's state agencies led by the state coordinating officer. SERT's mission is. to ensure that Florida is prepared to respond to emergencies, recover from them, and miti- gate their impacts. Visit www.usfa.fema.gov for the latest information on the hurricane relief efforts. FEMA prepares the nation for all'hazards and manages federal response and recov- ery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates mitiga- tion activities, trains first responders, works with state and local emergency man- agers, and manages the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire Administration. FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on March 1, 2003.

Raise your hand if going to church tops your list of things you want to do more than any- thing else on Sunday? Peek inside a typ- ical North " American church on a Sunday morn- ing and you'll find fewer than 40 per- cent of the adults in the pews are men, said David Murrow, author of "Why ... Men Hate Going to . Church" (Thomas Nelson Publishers). NA Murrow's thesis, NA however, is not to KENN call men back to church, but to call the church back to men. He begins his book by saying today's church is "perfectly. designed to give the results it's getting," meaning that most churches are designed to. appeal to women, children and the elderly and that's who fills the pews. After researching men and masculinity, and talking to scores of men about their own religious experiences, Murrow found a consistent theme: Men want to know, God, but they want nothing to do with church. In his research, Murrow found that more than 90 per- cent of American men believe in God, and five out of six call themselves Christians. But only two out of six attend church on a given Sunday. "Truth is, the modern church is not designed to do what Jesus did reach men with the good news," he writes. In contrast, he said, the first- century church was a magnet to men, that Jesus' "strong leadership, blunt honesty and bold action mesmerized men," but today's church repels them. He set out to find out why. Modern churches, he discov- ered, are most often led by men, but dominated by women and their values. Citing a series of focus groups that identi- fied the primary themes of the Christian faith, Murrow notes the most mentioned responses were fem- inine qualities of support, nurture, CY humility and EDY dependence . Therefore, Murrow concludes, people think that to be Christian is to embrace feminine values. But, he said, "early Christians were known for risk taking, power, aggression and heroic sacrifice" and that "somewhere in church history someone monkeyed with the definition of a Christian! Today, a 'good Christian' is known mostly for meekness, sensitivity, passivity and sweet- ness. This standard of Christian behavior is very tough on men (even those who are sold out to Jesus) while it's easier for women to achieve. "Men have gotten this mes- sage: 'You're flawed the way God made you. You need an extreme makeover.' And we wonder why men hate going to church," he said. By the way, I wholeheartedly agree with everything he writes about. He said that the gospel message that Jesus brought with him was one of adventure and risk "Come and die!" Jesus calls. "Come and follow me and give up your lit- tle life with its little pursuits and find something great and grand. Follow me and get your hands dirty. Follow me and I'll guarantee you'll get the wits scared out of you; you'll discov- er strength you never knew you had; you'll be stretched farther than you ever thought possi- ble." That's the gospel, but that's not the church. The church - not all churches but many is characterized by soft organ music and pews covered, in mauve fabric. ,It's floral arrangements, "sharing" prayer requests and singing pretty love songs to a milky skinned Jesus with a pageboy hairdo. It's girly. But it's not hopeless. When I look around my church, I see lots of men, and not girly men, either. I see men who take up chainsaws and nail guns, who go into prisons and get their hands dirt' and bloodied all for the sake of the gospel. MS' church's leaders boldly issue Jesus' dare and calling to "Come and die!" and men flock to do so. It's awesome to see. "Over time, the church tends to get out of balance and lose its.masculine spirit," Murrow writes. "Then God raises a lion - a Martin Luther, John Wesley, Charles Finney or Billy Sunday to drag the church back into balance. The men return. The great revivals of the past three centuries always transformed large numbers of men.

A Water Department repre- sentative said that it would be very unlikely that water would be lost during a storm but know where your meter is and how to shut if off If you don't know, call the depart- ment and someone will come out and show you how to han- dle it if necessary. If it's shut off make sure you let it run until the water is clear before you drink it. Save your milk jugs, fill your bathtubs and use pool water to flush your toilets.

That's exactly what they did to five out of six all-star chal- lengers who took them on this season. That means they were leading the challenger with at least a 10-run lead by the fourth inning. That also means it's game over and the leading team takes the win. When asked what they focused on this season and what was most notable, Head Coach Ronald Strickland said- it was the support from the team and coaches to the par- ents, fans and other support- ers who were steady behind the team. He said they had team with a good bunch of kids who work and stick together. They have a saying, "Do the Work," and he said with a laugh, when he yells out "Do the work," this team is "Focused and ready. They're bad to the bone I just really enjoyed them." As for support, he said there were at least 50 people who came to watch the kids play, but weren't actually affiliated with the team. He expressed how much he appreciated it and how impressed he was. The coaches focus this sea- son was simply to have the players working as a team. He said this group of kids has played in T-Ball and mini minors as an all-star team and they did the same thing in their all-star season last year - taking five of the six teams with the 10-run rule win. Last Friday night they played Wildwood and came away with a 10-run rule win. Their last game, Saturday, was played in Belleview against Spring Hill National. "It. was the final game of the series and it was pouring rain," he said, adding they had an hour delay. It was in the third or fourth inning that the Bushnell team came up and took over. "We really came around from 2 to 2," he said. "It's just a fine bunch," he said of players, coaches, fans, parents and supporters. They scored 10. runs. in one inning to win the tournament. This year's championship included 10 teams from Sumter and surrounding counties Marion, Hernando and Lake. This year they took Ridge Manor 14-0, 'Hernando American 7-2, Spring Hill - 11-0, South Lake .- 12-2, Wildwood 12-1 and Spring Hill 12-2.

New Florida rabies law safeguards pets and the public On Friday, May 27, Governor Bush signed a new rabies law, which will greatly benefit pets and their owners while protect- ing the public against rabies. Senator Nan Rich (D-Broward) and Representative David Russell (R-Hernando- Citrus) sponsored the legislation. With passage of this legislation, Florida joins 34 other states that either require or recognize three-year rabies vaccines. Currently only 14 Florida counties recognize a three-year rabies vaccine for the full dura- tion of immunity which has resulted in thousands of cur-- rently vaccinated animals being required to be revacci- nated for no justifiable medical reason due to local laws. The public has become increasingly aware of the over-vaccination issue. As one legislator summed it, up, "government is finally catching up with sci- ence."

This particular training was on standard procedures in an emergency compound environment. When an emer- gency is declared, and DART ,earns are deployed, it is imperative that each mem- ber understands the chain of command and the proce- dures to follow. Because each disaster is different, \\e learn from each one, and fine-tune our training to bet- ter help the citizens and ani- mals in the impacted areas. Dogs used in the mock drill came from the Humane 'Society/SPCA of Sumter County and Sumter County Animal Control. Horses were provided by Trish Cheston for a session on safety tips for .horse rescue, and Sheri Evans provided a calf for livestock training.

The old boy com- J. ing down for the JAMEE visit was David J E Callaway from up in Outdo Thomaston, Ga., where he lives on the property adjoining where our deer hunting lease and camp is located and over the years he has became a really good friend to all of the hunt club members. David and I have quite a bit in common in that we both like to hunt and fish every chance we get We are both retired vet- eran law enforcement officers and we both have more than 30 years carrying a gun and badge. David's tenure with law enforcement was spent while serving as a trooper with the Georgia Highway Patrol and the record of these fine offi- cers speaks well for its self. Anyway, I have been around no telling how many folks over the years that have a real pas- sion for fishing but in all of those many years of being around all kinds of dedicated fishermen on both salt and fresh water, David takes the cake. David's patience rivals the biblical hero Job in that he will fish as long as he can stay on the water and it don't mat- ter a whole lot one way or the other to him as to whether the fish are biting or not. His theo- ry is that if you ain't on the water with a baited hook out trying you sure ain't gonna catch any fish and you know r when you get right down to it he's absolutely right Anyway, as it turned out. I only got to spend one day with Joe and David and as always on past fishing trips we had *: a fine time. Folks, you know when good friends get on the water and catch a good mess of fish the real enjoyment comes from not only catching a bunch of fish. The absolute and pure pleasure DAMS, really derives from A Writer watching the new\ morning sun rise above the eastern horizon bringing a fantastic display of vivid li ing colors that no artist on this earth could really capture. It is a fleeting special feeling of a God given cool morning breeze for a few treasured minutes as it moves across your face. There is just some- thing special about starting a day off out on a lake with a couple of good friends. The fish did not start to hit big time until the sun was up above the tree line but it did not matter a bit to us as we rev- eled in our blessings of being fortunate enough to be out on the water in the first place. It was our day and we were going to enjoy every last minute of it My good friends, I honestly and truly believe a lot of our world's troubles and problems could be resolved in one great big hurry if only the major leaders in this old world could spend a few mornings in a small boat fishing together. You know the Bible teaches us that our Lord Jesus, as he went out to find his twelve dis- ciples, chose fishermen as the first four. That in itself says a lot for the character of those who enjoy spending quality time on the water fishing. It also says a lot for the fine fel- lowship that takes place when Bushnell Mayor Joe Strickland with shell cracker caught on Lake Panasoffkee on recent fishing tr good friends go fishing togeth- state government to finally er. wake up and recognize 'that By the way, Lake Lake Panasoffkee was in its Panasoffkee is undergoing final death throes and needed some serious and much need- some serious help. It was only ed renovation right now.

Ceti tral Florida's Prentiere Alanufactumd Home Sales Center I PAGE 26, SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 2005 Tips on successfully growing geraniums in the garden: More than half of flower growers and retail nurseries in the United States grow or sell geraniums. This indi- cates their wide appeal and range of climatic adaptabili- ty. Geraniums are popular for their continuous flowering throughout the summer and early fall in most of continen- tal United States and Canada. Traditionally, geraniums are propagated exclusively by vegetative means. Commercial operators take root cuttings from disease- free stock plants and sell them to local growers. Local growers use these cuttings as stock plants from which they propagate plants for sale. Geraniums take up consid- erable greenhouse time, space, heat and labor before reaching consumers, thus they are more expensive than many other bedding plants which require less time to produce. Recently, there is a trend toward growing gerani- ums from seeds. Seed-propa- gated geraniums perform equally as well as vegetative- propagated material and pro- duce smaller plants at less cost to the consumer. Seed-propagated gerani- ums branch freely, are less leggy and seem to grow faster. Geraniums are at their peak of performance late winter through early summer in cen- tral and South Florida and early spring through early summer in North Florida.

They will tolerate partial shade, but will usual- ly grow tall, pro- ducing fewer lateral branches and consequent- ly, fewer flow- ers. They should be spaced 18 inches apart in flowerbeds. To avoid disease problems and to give a well- groomed appearance cut off all the old flower heads. Geraniums grow best in soils that pro- vide good drainage and aeration, and have good mois- ture and nutri- ent retention capacities. Florida's .sandy soils should be amended with organic matter. Incorporation of two to three inches of organic matter into planting beds will increase both water and nutrient hold- ing capacities.
