Landfill regulations set for hearings


MARTIN STEELE
Times Correspondent

Sumter County Commis-sion-
ers are preparing to hash out
the details of new land use reg-
ulations for Class I landfills.
The board on Tuesday set
public hearings for July 12 and
26, both at 6:15 p.m., to consid-
er the proposed regulations.
County Development Ser-
vices Director Robbie Rogers
last week presented the board
with a draft of the land use reg-


ulations that have been in
preparation for more than a
year.
The most recent part of the
process, according to Rogers,
was a review by the County
Zoning and Adjustment Board,
which also recommended some
minor revisions to the draft.
They had "some pretty good
suggestions," Rogers said,
before asking if the commis-,
sion wanted to set a hearing on
.the proposed ordinance.
Commissioners opted to wait
on that for the next board meet-


ing to give County. Attorney
Randall Thornton to prepare a
final draft of the ordinance.
In the meantime, Thorntoih
compiled the draft of the remgu-
lation into a proposed ordi-
nance,

Picnic

draws

:crowd for

109th year

Staff writer

Every year: on the last
Saturday in June, cars and
Struck line up all around
Sthe Linden Cemetery.
Families spread out on
lawn chairs and blankets.,
eating, laughing, and rem-
iniscine.
The smell of home-
cooked food and a strong
sense of tradition permnne-
I ate the air and kids and
adults line up to buy a

tom that has lasted for
more than a century there.
1 Such was the case on
Saturday June 25. .
People have been com-
ing to the Linden l
Cemetery Picnic for 109
years to benefit the rough-
ly 150-year-old cemetery "
and for some families, the
tradition goes back to the
first picnics.
Janet Lee, who was
there with her grandchil-
dren, daughter, sisters.,
and mother, said she's I
been coming to the picnics '
for as long as she can
remember and so has her
mother, 88-year-old
Mildred Lee.

Michael Francis said that it
would give the board an oppor-
tunity to review the draft and
prepare comments.
Thornton said commission-
ers should keep their notes for
any comments they might have
At the prior meeting, he noted


that revisions of the ordinance
were possible during the pub-
lic hearing process.
Thornton and Rogers in
November, 2003, were directed
by the board to continue with
work they had began toward
developing land use rules for
Class I landfills (generally
household garbage disposal
sites). After a few months, a
committee was appointed to
work on the regulations.
Those actions came after a
very controversial landfill proj-

year for the Center Hill area.
The land use permit for that
project was originally
approved but local residents
took legal action to stop the
project
The developer withdrew the
application and the commis-
sion revoked the land use per-
mit late in 2003.
At the time, county staff and
the board found that the county
did not have any specific regu-
lations for the landfills and
sought to remedy that with new
rules.


New jail


planned


for county
AMIANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

With sometimes two-thirds
more inmates than there are
beds, the county jail in
Bushnell is in serious need of
space.
The jail is overcrowded, but
Chief Deputy Jack Jordan of
the Sumter Sheriff's Office
said he hopes'to have a new
building within the next year.
He said problems arise
with overcrowding, which
stresses staff and overstretch-
es resources.
"It can be rough on inmates
and cause tempers to flare,"
Jordan said.
He said blueprints for a
new jail were made back in
2003, but the issue was "put
on the backburner" by the
County Commission then.
"It won't leave the burner
now. It's got to be dealt with,"
he said.
According to Jordan, the
jail population has reached
up to about 270 inmates, and
the jail only has 179 beds.

The owner of the
FreeFlight Airport in
Coleman is launching a
fundraiser to help neglected
and abused children involved
in the Sumter County
Guardian Ad Litem program.
The program provides vol-
unteers that act as advocates
for the best interests of chil-
dren who are alleged to be
abused, neglected or aban-
doned and who are involved
in court proceedings.
Through Advocating for
Kids Inc., donated items are
being sought for a raffle later

gram, according to airport
owner Frank Arenas. Arenas

Lots of hard work goes into the Linden picnic every year, and these volunteers worked through the hot day serving up dinner
plates in the kitchen.


PICNIC

continued from Page 1

gathering for relatives from
the Linden area all the way to
Georgia.
Although the picnic seems
to be as much about celebrat-
ing life and family as it is
about respect for the depart-
ed, picnickers remember
what they're there for.
"We're all here for the same
reason," said Gary Elkins,
who came from Gainesville to
the picnic on Saturday.
He said the money raised at
the picnic goes to a worthy
cause, and that his mother
still lives in the area and has
relatives who are buried in
the cemetery.
Although putting on the
event is a laborious task, the
many people who contribute
do so with a smile, from those
cooking chicken and rice
plates to the bakers of dozens
of varieties of cakes, pies, and
other desserts.
"It's a labor of love," said
Bill Carlisle, who grew up in
the area and has been a mem-
ber of the cemetery associa-
tion for a number of years.
Carlisle is the author and


coauthor of several books,
including Ties that Bind and
Ties that Bind II, which
chronicle the history of the
Linden Cemetery.
In Ties that Bind, Carlisle
cites a 1936 article published
in the Sumter County Times
in which R.D. Merritt wrote
about the first picnic from
memory. He wrote that the
picnic grossed $13.35 for the
cemetery, which equals less
than the price of two of this
year's 'dinner plates and
drinks. Merritt wrote that he'd
served 39 years on the ceme-
tery committee at that time
and "with the $13.35 I bought
enough new .lumber and nails
to patch the old yard with."
This year, the association
managed to earn $5,100 with a
cake auction alone, sold over
one thousand dinner plates at
$6 apiece, and earned $2,300
with a raffle, according to
Terry Gideons, Linden
Cemetery Association treas-
urer.
Even though the picnic
draws more people now than
it did in the late 1800s, makes
more money, and modes of
transportation have changed
considerably, in the words of
Janet Lee, the experience
itself remains "pretty much
the same."

The need for architectural
services for the project has
been advertised and bids will
be received by July 11.
"This building will get Uis
through the crisis we're in
right now," he said, but added
that he thinks as soon as the
new jail opens, it will be full.
The new jail, which Jordan
hopes will allow for at least
80 additional inmates, will be
a temporary solution to the
problem. Within the next
three years, when the county
buildings expand, there will
also be plans for additional
space at the jail, he said.
Jordan said the problem
isn't specific to Sumter
County, and neighboring
.areas have experienced the
-.. same trend in recent years.

The kitchen at the Sumter County Detention Center, which hasn't been expanded, served an
average of around 80 inmates in the early 1990s.but now serves up to 280 inmates. A building
is being designed now that will absorb some of the overcrowding at the jail, and a second new
building is anticipated to go up within the next several years.

funding," he said. Currently,
the Sumter program has
about 180 children in need of
services.

Webster man revolutionizes ani


SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 2005, PAGE 3


imal rescue !
"____________________


AMANDA MIMS
Staff writer

A Webster man seems to
have revolutionized the way
animals are cared for during
disasters. In fact, he's hoping
municipalities will get on
board with him on the road
with a mobile kennel, camper,
fresh water, and lots of-sup-
plies.
Ronnie Graves, co-owner of
Prosthetics Research
Specialists, Inc., in Bushnell,
is no stranger to inventing or
engineering. While his back-
ground lies in prosthetics,
he's turned his attention to
animal rescue. Graves recent-
ly converted a trailer, which
was formerly used for trans-
porting his drag racing cars,
into a 44-by eight-foot mobile
kennel, lined with animal
cages and equipped with gen-
erators and air conditioning
units.
At a June hurricane exer-
cise in Lake Panasoffkee, ani-
mal rescue workers from
Marion, Citrus, Hernando,


and Lake counties had the
opportunity to see the outfit.
Of their reaction, Graves said,
"They loved it"
The rig seems to be as
friendly to people as it is to
animals. His ensemble
includes a driving RV one
area for sleeping, restroom
facilities with a shower and
hot water, a refrigerator/freez-
er, generators, a washer and
dryer, storage for 1,300 gallons
of fresh water and 600 gallons
of diesel fuel, and an icemak-
er.
With bad weather in mind,
he said he designed the trailer
to include Global Positioning
System communication, so he
can find his way when visibil-
ity is low or when street signs
have been blown down.
The living space is designed
to comfortably accommodate
one person or a team of two'
people, he said.
He has contracted with the
Humane Society to respond to
disasters from Texas to
Florida, and the east coast all
the way to Virginia.
"We are the only such team


we know of that has contract-
ed with the Humane Society
of the United States," Graves
said.
He also said he's hoping
grocers will donate food items
for situations when the unit
will be needed.
When there is an emer-
gency, he said he will respond
and be there for whatever
local animal control units
need, whether it's a kennel,
electricity from his generators
or anything else he has to
offer.
Graves hopes to produce
these trailers for municipali-
ties to use. Aside from compli-
ments received at the hurri-
cane exercise, he also got
some suggestions on how to
make improvements.
"Yo'b take all the ideas peo-
ple give,,y.ou and try toq deter-
mine what'll work best," he
said. : *
Graves has been volunteer-
ing during disasters since
1998 along with his wife,
Linda. who contributes to the
Times in the Critter Chatter'
section.

Four arrested in


corn-machine theft


BOB REICHMAN
Editor

Four people ended up need-
ing more money to get out of
jail then they allegedly
received from a coin-exchange
machine at the Wildwood Winn
Dixie grocery store last week.
Three Tampa residents and
a Plant City resident were
arrested for alleging tampering
with the coin exchanger and
illegally receiving $230.
Katrina Bolduc, 30, Tampa,
Paul Sims, 50, Plant City, Jon.
Bolduc, 33, Tampa, were each
arrested for theft from a coin-
operated machine and petit
theft.
Nathan Ervin, 24, Tampa,
was additionally arrested for
violation of probation.
All four were placed in the
Sumter County Detention
Center. Bond for Katrina
Bolduc and Sims was set at
$500. Bond for Jon Bolduc and


-~


Ervin was set at $4,000.
The suspects were arrested
about 9:24 p.m. Friday, June 24,
after a witness reportedly saw
two of the subjects open the.
bottom of the coin-exchange
machine and then submit a
receipt to the store clerk for
cash, according to Wildwood
Police Capt. Eddie Reeser.
Reeser said the witness fol-
lowed the suspects out of the
store and reported them to a
nearby sheriff's deputy who
then informed the Wildwood
Police Department
The suspects were 'arrested
"without incident at the nearby.
Circle K store, Reeser said.
Apparently, the suspects had
put some coins into the,
machine and then opened the
bottom of it so that the coins
kept recycling and kept being
recounted, Reeser said.
A similar incident happened
in February at the store, he
said. Police are continuing an-
investigation.

Your V


I'd be squirming and grimacing at
the press table preparing to
plunge my pen into my eyes to end
the misery,. Dew would be sitting
quietly without a hint of annoy-
ance.
While I had visions of
standing up in the mid-
dle of a meet ing scream-
ing, 'Stop the madness,'
Dew would be diplomat-
ically listening
unscathed by the non-
sense lie was hearing.
That always amazed
me.
'Kirkpatrick was' simi-
OB lar, although there was
HMAN several occasions when
I saw a slanted smirk
emerge on her face as
she desperately tried to maintain
her composure. During those
times, I would try not to look at
her in fear that I'd only add to her
discomfort with my contorted
expressions.
The biggest thing I'll miss about
these two is the laughing. We all
laughed a lot together especially
in the earlier days when there was
more to laugh about in Sumter
County.
Dew and Kirkpatrick would
always provide me with the infor-
mation I needed but they also
added some great pleasure to the
experience.
Unfortunately, their retirement
makes me think not only of the
county's loss of two very good
employees, it also speaks to me of
the loss of a more innocent time in
Sumter County.
It was a time when most people
knew each other When county
business seemed more straight-
forward and much less political.
Things were funnier then.
But, I guess somehow their
retirements at this time seem fit-
ting and reflective of change.
In any case, I wish them the best
and I will miss both of them.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released the June citrus crop
'forecast for the 2004-2005 season, shows a slight decrease in grapefruit from the

'fruit the USDA predicts 650,000 boxes of Temples; 1.55 million boxes of
angelso; and 4.45 million boxes of Tangerines, including 2.45 million boxes of
garly varieties and 2 million boxes of Honeys.

Florida's Chief Financial Officer
and State Fire Marshal Tom
Gallagher is urging Floridians to
think about fire safety as they make
their Fourth of July plans.
"The Fourth of July is a great time
for families and friends to relax
together and reflect on the freedoms
we all enjoy." Gallagher said. "But
don't let the celebration turn to
tragedy. If you're buying fireworks to
celebrate, remember that if it launch-
es or explodes, it is illegal in Florida."
Gallagher encouraged Floridians
to instead attend a professional fire-
works display or enjoy any of the hun-
dreds of legal sparklers listed on the
State Fire Marshal's web site at
www.fldfs.cdm/sfm.
Illegal fireworks include shells and
mortars, multiple tube devices,
Roman candles, rockets and fire-
crackers. Floridians should not sign-'
"waivers" in order to purchase fire-"
works. Signing a waiver will not clear,
you of responsibility should you be
caught using them, and using fire-
works illegally is a first-degree mis-
demeanor punishable by up to one
year in jail and a $1,000 tine.
Even if you are using legal
sparklers there is still a risk of injury
When lit, some sparklers can reach
temperatures between 1,300 and
1,800 degrees, at least 200 degrees
hotter than a standard butane lighter.
Illegal fireworks aren't the only fire
hazard facing Floridians looking to
celebrate this weekend. Gallagher
said grills and campfires also can
pose real risks.

Just hang up to avoid prescription
drug benefit scams
More news from the new Medicare
law the Medicare Modernization,
Improvement and
"Prescription Drug Act of
2003 (MMA) and how it
will affect your life:
As I have written many _
times, this incomplete and
continuously rewritten
law only dribbles more
evidence showing that it
will not improve your
lifestyle. In fact, with Part
D, the prescription drug
"benefit," it is now indicat-
ed that MMA will cost D
Medicare beneficiaries Ro
some 35 percent of their
Social Security income.
So What's new this week?
Scams:
As I have previously indicated,
along with the new prescription drug
act, scammers already are in business
to steal from Medicare beneficiaries.
Unfortunately, these individuals
already have targeted Medicare ben-
eficiaries who are most in need.
Two government agencies are mail-
ing some 20 million beneficiaries to
see if they qualify for a generous dis-
count benefit
By the way, it is my belief that this
prescription drug benefit should
have been offered to this group of
beneficiaries. Of course, it is, and will
be, actuarially unbalanced: There


are injured as a result of charcoal and
gas grill fires, explosions and misuse.
Many of these fires and explosions
occur when consumers first use a grill
that has been left idle for a period of
time or just after refilling and reat-
taching the grill's gas container.
Meanwhile, campers can suffer
serious and fatal burn injuries if they
use candles, portable stoves, ciga-
rettes, lanterns, or matches around
camping tents and sleeping bags.
Sparks can also blow from a nearby
campfire and ignite a tent or sleeping
bag..
Gallagher advises Floridians to fol-
low these precautions to celebrate
safely:
Sparklers
Use sparklers and other legal nov-
elties ona flat, hard surface. Do not
light them on grass.
Use sparklers- in an open area.
Keep children and pets at least 30
feet away from all ignited sparklers.'
Light only one item at a time and
never attempt to re-light a "dud."
Don't use any unwrapped items or
items that may have been tampered
with.
Keep a fire extinguisher or water
hose on-hand for emergencies. It's a
good idea to drop used sparklers in a
bucket of water.
Grills
Check the tubes that lead into the
burner for any blockage from insects,
'spiders, or food grease. Use a pipe
cleaner or wire to clear blockage.
Check for gas leaks, following the
manufacturer's instructions, if you
smell gas or when you reconnect the
grill to the LP gas container If you
detect a leak, immediately turn off


will be so many' mistakes on these
applications that government bureau-
crats will have to phone these benefi-
ciaries, and this is where the scam-
mers once again will enter and dis-
rupt the most deserving
elderly. So far, more than
14 states have indicated
cases of Part D and senior
fraud, and the program is
just taxiing, and hardly
airborne.
Members of the govern-
ment who are just trying to
help you will never ask
you for your Medicare or
Social Security number,
bank account or checking
AN account numbers.i So, if
HAN you should receive such a
telephone call, don't give
it In fact, hang up.
*Appeals
It is another great tragedy that next
week MMA will transfer Medicare
appeals that -require judicial inter-
pretation, from the more than 140
Social Security to offices to the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS). HHS will have four
offices that will hear difficult cases -
Arlington, Va.; Cleveland, Ohio;
Irvine, Calif.; and Miami, Fla.
This is, without question, one of the
most egregious parts of MMA; it is,
indeed, insulting to our good folks
who are enrolled in Medicare.
Let us consider: Before this new
law, almost 70 percent of such cases
were settled on behalf of the


the gas and don't attempt to light the
grill until the leak is fixed.
Check grill hoses for cracking, brit-
tleness, holes, leaks or sharp bends.
Move gas hoses as far away as pos-
sible from hot surfaces and dripping
hot grease. If you can't move the
hoses, install a heat shield to protect
them.
Never use a grill indoors. Use the
grill at least 10 feet away from your
house or any building.
Never burn charcoal inside. of
homes, vehicles, tents, or campers.
Charcoal should never be used
indoors, even if ventilation is provid-
ed.
Camping
Check cooking, heating and lighting
equipment to make sure it is in good
repair. Read instructions carefully
and obey any warning labels.
Use flame-retardant tents and
sleeping bags. Keep tents and sleep-
ing bags away from all flame sources.
Never bring stove, lantern or can-
dles inside the tent Tell youngsters
afraid of the dark to keep a flashlight
handy and not to use candles.
Place stoves and campfires away
from the tent Extinguish all fires
before going to sleep.
Make sure that the stove, heater or
lantern is stable and will not topple
while it is being filled or during use.
Use caution when storing or trans-
porting fuel. Some stoves require that
the reservoir be emptied to avoid
leakage while carrying. Use safety
cans to transport fuel.
NOTE: Gallagher also reminds
Floridians to check the batteries in
their smoke detectors.


Medicare beneficiary. Also, more
than 5 million of Medicare's 44 mil-
lion beneficiaries are older than 85.
Allow us to consider that the precept
of this law will eventually have some
50 adjudicators from these four cities
to handle the complaints that may
come from any of the 44 million
Medicare beneficiaries.
If one decides to appeal to an
administrative law judge, it will be
done via videoconferencing. By the
way, are administrative law judges
real judges? No.
Videoconferencing? I have been
blessed that, during the course of
years, I have successfully (perhaps
some would not agree) worked within
all forms of media-television, radio,
public speaking, teaching, and, I
think, writing.
However, I have witnessed some of
my television and radio guests fall
apart once realizing that they were
facing a camera or speaking into a
microphone, and I am speaking about
members of the academic world, and,
yes, those running for public office.
So, now we put 90-year-olds in front
of a video cam and make believe
that they have a fair chance.
Hogwash! This is absolutely dis-
graceful, as is MMA.
Keep my green tea warm, and I will
talk to you next week

Wildwood makes plans for repaving roads


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Before October, two streets
in the city of Wildwood will be
repaved, according to Public
Works Director Gene
Kornegay.
A total of approximately one
mile will be repaved on
Woodlane Meadows and
Gamble Street, the latter of


which will need to be milled
down before it's repaved,
according to a memo from
Kornegay to City Manager Jim
Stevens.
The two roads are the most
in need of repair, and in some
areas of Woodlane Meadows,
the asphalt has reached a
thickness of only one-quarter
to one-half inch, the memo
states.


The subject was brought up
at a regular Wildwood City'
Commission meeting on
Monday, June 27, when com-
missioners decided to approve
the roadwork
"Every time we have rain,
we have potholes," Kornegay
said.
The city has $40,000 budget-
ed for the work, which is
approximately what the


repaving will cost. The esti-
mate includes $3,000
Kornegay said the city will
save by generating 175 tons of
milled asphalt in the milling
process.
Kornegay said many
Wildwood streets are in need
of work, and the department
will perform the road mainte-
nance as the budget allows.
In other business, the com-


mission received the first com-
plaint at a city meeting about
police user fees, which were
implemented this month. City
utility customers have an
extra charge of $5 on their
bills this time, a move by the
city to acquire funding for offi-
cer positions at the police
department.
Kathy Ritchie asked why the
commission chose such a high


amount "That's a lot of money
to some of us."
Mayor Ed Wolf said he esti'
mates 50 to 60 percent of resist
dents don't pay taxes toward
police in part because of a
$25,000 homestead exemption}
"We had to come up witl
some way to raise money to
hire additional police offir-
cers," Wolf told her. "We'vd
. thought about you all along."

turn onto State Road 44 and traveled south into the westbound lanes of State Road 44 and into
the path of a 1983 Ford Bronco.The front of the Bronco, driven by 28-year-old Charles Ward of
Leesburg, collided with the left side of Ellis's 1996 Lincoln.Ward was travelling with two chil- -

Eligible producers may sign-
up for the Crop Disaster
Program (CDP), a program that
authorizes crop loss assistance
for producers who suffered
2003 or 2004 and certain 2005
crop losses from damaging
weather announced Laura
Langford, county executive
director of the, Sumter/Citrus
Farm Service Agency. Sign-up
began March 14. The closing
date for this sign-up will be
announced at a later date.
"We arp pleased to be able to
provide these benefits to pro-
ducers as quickly as possible,"
Langford said. "Drought, floods
and hurricanes are unpre-
dictable weather events that
put farmers and ranchers at
risk in producing a dependable
and affordable national food
supply."
Eligibility for CDP is similar
to that of the 2001-2002 Crop


Disaster Program. Producers
suffering a greater than 35-per-
cent production loss and/or
more than a 20-percent quality
loss are eligible.
The payment rate for CDP
has been increased to 65 per-
cent of the established com-
modity price for insured crops
and noninsured crops, and 60
percent of the price for unin-
sured commodities.
Previous disaster assistance
provided payments of 50 per-
cent of the established com-
modity price for insured and.
non-insurable crops and 45
percent for uninsured crops.
The payment limit is $80,000
per person for all
2003.20042005 CDP payments.
Losses on grass seed and hay
are eligible.
Producers may apply for
,CDP for any crops that are eli-
gible for coverage under the


Federal Crop Insurance or the
Noninsured Assistance
Program.
This program results from
Congressional passage last
October of the Military
Construction Appropriatiori
and Emergency Hurricant
Supplemental Appropriations
Act, 2005 (the Act).
As part of the CDP imple-
mentation process, USDA has
prepared a fact sheet that con-
tains information about the
disaster assistance programs.

f you look past their scars
and missing teeth, their
haunting eyes and the
labels they bear, they are pret-
ty women. But not in the high-
priced Julia Roberts call girl
meets rich, benevolent
Richard Gere
"Pretty Woman"
Cinderella story
way. Their pretti-
ness comes from
their stories of how
they're learning to
trade the beauty of
Jesus for the ashes
of their tragic lives.
- A few weeks ago
I visited Heaven's
Garden, a residen-
tial ministry in NAN
Daytona run by KENI
Aida Rosa, an
amazing self-sacri-
ficing woman whom God is
using to rescue prostitutes
from the street She even has
a name for one,,of the min-
istry's rescue techniques: the
Jesus jump.
Much like a SWAT team
sting, Aida will drive her van
up next to her target and stop.
Next, someone else will jump
out of the van, call the
woman's name, hand her a
ministry pamphlet and say,
"Call when you're ready"
Aida said not all call, and
some might wait months to do
so, but none throw the pam-
phlet on the ground. When
they do call, Aida asks three
questions: "Are you tired?"
"Are you ready to come
home?" and "When can you
come?" She usually picks the
woman up directly from jail;
she's learned that if she does-
n't do it then, the woman will
go immediately back to the
street.
Of the six women I met at
the Garden, there's only space
to write about one. Tall, pretty
despite a scar across her
face with wavy blond hair
and a nice smile, Jennifer is
the youngest of eight children.
Raped by.her father, then by


o waywan

her brothers. Sold drugs at
age 12, began using cocaine at
14. She came home one day to
discover her, 19-year-old
brother's body he had
blown his brains out
Jennifer has four little girls
somewhere, all
fathered by four dif-
ferent men. She was
married twice, to
"good men," she
said, "but I beat
them down." She
said she has deep-
seated aggression.
She had been pros-
tituting for five
years.
"I'm a slut, no
ICY good, pretty, cute
NEDY and poor," she said
of the messages she
received -growing
up. She's been in and out of
jail. Once she received a letter
while in jail that said, "Dear
Mom. My name is Katie. Do*
you remember me?"
After smoking cocaine, she
ended up in the hospital for
seven weeks with a collapsed
lung; no one even called to see
if she was OK. A phlebotomist
asked what she would do
when she got well and she
remembered being "Jesus
jumped" and thought she
would go to Heaven's Garden.
She did, but not before she
went to jail one last time.
She said meeting Aida and
walking into the Garden was
like "bumping your head into
goodness." Only three days
into the program when I met,
her, she said she felt higher
and freer than she had ever
felt She wants to be a nurse.
She wants to earn a doctorate.
She wants to go back on the
streets and do free HIV
screenings for the prostitutes
still out there. She wants to go
to Africa and work with AIDS
victims. But first she needs to
get whole and well. She said
she begs Jesus, "I've given this
to you don't let me take this
back!"


Garden gives home


As I satat a table with
Jennifer and the others and
ate pizza and laughed with
them, I thought about how
each one had started life with
such promise, that each was
somebody's daughter or sister
or mother. What impressed
me most was how they were
learning to let go of blame and'
anger and resentment.
"What's past is past; you can't
change it; you just go on," said
Lori, who had been raped
repeatedly by her father and
who had been working the
street for 25 years. At 41, Lori
is training to be a nail tech.
She's never had a "real job"
before, she said. This is her
third time at Heaven's
Garden. She prays that she'll
never go back to the streets.
Aida said the pull of the
street is strong, but that God is
stronger Still, it's a battle, and
Aida is battle-weary. She's
been doing this 24/7 for 21
months straight without a day
oi.. She sleeps on a couch in
her office. She lives by faith.
Fifty-nine women have
passed through Heaven's
Garden so far, but there are
thousands more out on the
streets, hooked on drugs, turn-
ing tricks to support their
habits.
But God is able, willing and
able to rescue all who are
tired, all who are willing to
come home. Next time you see
a woman selling herself, pray
for her, won't you? And pray
that God will raise up an army
ofAidas. willing to show them
.the way For more informa-

Dro


e, reel in your school supplies


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

How would you like to drop
a fishing line and reel in
some school supplies?
Sound like a fishing tale?
No doubt about it, it cer-
tainly is. But this tale is worth
telling because it's the
absolute, real, honest-to-
goodness unvarnished truth.
Thanks to a three-year-old
program sponsored by the
Wildwood United Methodist
Church, kids from Wildwood
are casting a line and pulling
out just what they need to
start the school year.
Called a "Back to School
Fair," the event is slated from
11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
on Saturday,
Aug. 6.
M a r i 1 y n Thanks t
Holloman, the year-old
pastor's wife, osor
said the church sponsor
began hosting Wildwoo
the fair after a Methodis
group of women kids
in the church
were decorat- Wildw
ing the church casting a
for an event.
They were talk- pulling
ing about school what the
and the numer- start th
ous demands
families must ye,
meet at- the
beginning of
each school
year.
"It's just tough to do every-
thing that you need to do for
your children. Working fami-
lies may not qualify for assis-
tance in some venues, yet it's
still difficult to get it all
done," Holloman said, citing
the purchase of new clothes,
new shoes, school supplies
and the added dues for vari-
ous activities.
Church members began
looking for some way to alle-
viate just one part of that
stress for the parents, while
providing a fun environment
for the kids and putting a pos-
itive spin on the upcoming
school year.
They also want to let the
children know that people
outside their own family are
concerned about them.
"From the first, it was
tremendous," she said, point-
ing out that they heard from
teachers who said they'd
never before seen a year
when every child had a
paper and pencil on the first
day of school.
She said other agencies
provide backpacks for kids,
but in some cases, those
items can't be distributed for
about a month, because they
need information.
"We don't require anything
- we don't ask any question,


e
(

e


other than what grade are
you going to be in this fall,"
she said.
The fair fun will include
refreshments and additional
information.
"We have supplies by grade
level for k-5," she said,
adding that they will have
some pre-k and middle and
high school basics.:
School supplies will be off
of the Sumter County list for
those grade levels and any-
body's welcome to come, it
doesn't matter what school
they attend, she said.
"Last year we gave out bags
of supplies to over 500 chil-
dren."
As for the fair, Holloman
said, "Kids generally have a
good time when
they come."
The fun
o a three- includes other
program carnival-like
?d by the games, where
the prizes are
d United the various
t Church, school supplies.
from Children are
asked what
)od are grade they're
line and going to be and
out just. they're given a
Scolor-coded
y need to nametag, so the
School coordinators
,r. and volunteers
know what
grade level sup-
plies to give
them.
They also get a plastic bag
with a handle to put every-
thing in.
They even offer other
information. This year, a rep-
resentative from United Way
will be on hand to provide
information to parents about
services that are available.
Representatives from both
the Girl Scouts and Boy
Scouts will be there to pro-
vide information about scout-
ing and they're also hoping to
have a representative from
the school board system.
"We have a tremendously
generous group of people
here," she said of church
members.
They collect money from
members of the congregation
and have merchants that who
give them deep discounts on
the things, she said.
The church puts in over
$2,000 a year, along with
some donated goods and
donations made by the New
Covenant United Methodist
Church in the Villages.
"We budget for it and plan
for it."
Coordinators for the event
are sisters Patrice and
Suzanne Palmer.
For more information
about the event, call the
church at 748-1275.

Pack 306 holds ....

Ice Cream Social

in Wildwood


ROBIN EDDINS
Times Correspondent
Summertime is a busy time
for most kids including the
Cub Scouts of Pack 306 but the
leadership found the time for
the best time of all time for
ice cream.
At the June Summer Pack
meeting, children had choices
of ice cream and choices of a
myriad of toppings from
marshmallows to chocolate
chips.
Root beer was also avail-
able for an ice cream float if
one so desired.
After the ice cream was
happily and quickly
devoured, the leaders took
the boys and a few siblings
and parents as well outside
for some good old fashioned
games.
A dozen eggs got completely
*scrambled as they were


tossed back and forth in one
game or run back and forth on
spoons in a relay race and
miraculously about 5 survived
the ordeal.
Many were cooled off from
the summer heat when water
balloons from the tossing
game went errant from their
intended targets.
On July 26 at 7 p.m. in the
Fellowship Hall at Wildwood
United Methodist Church,
Pack 306 will sponsor an
Escape School.
An instructor will provide
information to the children
about the dangers of strangers
and teach the children on
ways to be aware of their envi-
ronment, how to avoid dan-
gerous situations and what to
do should someone attempt to
do something to them.
More information is avail-
able by contacting 352-330-
6058.


Chase Davis (1) Jimbo Eddins (c) and Daniel Schreiner (r) join in the Ice Cream Social fun.

Group forms to Citater CHA -.


honor John and A special call for a special fellow

Over the Internet came a call
for help, to the e-mail address of
Equine Orthotics and Prosthetics '.
Ar Pl chilal1 A mini -,_i-ly Vi ^


John L. Stephens and Ethel,
his wife of 52 years, are the
focus of a group of citizens
who have joined forces to
honor the couple for their life-
time of contributions to the
Sumter County community.
The group, which has adopted
the name Sumter County
Honors John and Ethel
Stephens, is comprised of
elected officials, church lead-
ers and business and commu-
nity leaders, many of whom
are former students and FFA
members of John Stephens
during his 23-year career as a
teacher at South Sumter High
School.
Sumter County Sheriff Bill
Farmer, who himself was a
student and FFA member
early in Stephens' career, said
he is proud to be part of the
effort because Sumter County
has no finer citizens than the
Stephens and few have ever
done so much good, for so
many people, for so many
years, so unselfishly. "John
Stephens inspired -me when
he was a teacher, he inspired
me when he was a County
Commissioner and he contin-
ues to inspire me as a family
man, a church leader and as a
close friend, Farmer said. He
and Ethel are just plain good
people and I believe Sumter
County needs to tell them just
how much they have meant to
all of us."
The 'group is kicking off a
drive to raise $50,000 to fund
the John and Ethel Stephens
Student Enrichment
Program. The endowment
will create and permanently
fund a scholarship in the
Department of Agricultural
Education and
Communication at the
University of Florida in the
Stephens' names. John
Stephens is a graduate of the
UF program.
A dinner in celebration of
the Stephens is also being
planned, to be held Aug. 27, at
the South Sumter High
School gymnasium.
Raised in Plant City, the
Stephens came to Bushnell in
1957 in order for John
Stephens to take a job teach-
ing agriculture at what was
then Bushnell High School, a


job he held until 1980, when
he was named vocational
director for Sumter County
Schools. It was midway during
his 12 years as vocational
director that he set his sights
on political office. In 1986,
Stephens was elected to the
Sumter County Board of
County Commissioners,
where he served two terms
before leaving office in 1994.
Supervisor of Elections
Karen Krauss, who was first
elected to fill Stephens'
vacancy on the County
Commission, is also a member
of the group, "When I was
elected, Mr. Stephens took me
under his wing and became a
great mentor. He dedicated a
lot of time and support to help
me, even though we were not
members of the same party.
He and Mrs. Stephens are
great friends," she said.
Ethel Stephens worked a
36-year career at Sumter
Electric Cooperative.
Throughout her husband's
teaching years, she was very
instrumental in the success of
the South Sumter FFA
Chapter, volunteering hun-
dreds of hours each year help-
ing to keep it among the state'
s elite programs. "South
Sumter was the best, in the
state. We won more chapter
awards and had more winning
teams, more individual award
winners, more state officers
and had more fun than any
other school," said Mike
Revels, whose own son, Brady,
was recently elected State
FFA President, as was his
daughter Stacy, three years
ago.
The Stephens are also long-
time active members of the
First Baptist Church of
Bushnell, where John
Stephens continues to serve
as a deacon.
The group is asking citizens
and businesses to join its
efforts. Contributions can be
mailed to PO. Box 272.
Bushnell, FL 33513, and made
payable to "UF Foundation -
SHARE," with the notation
"Stephens Scholarship" writ-
ten on the check. All contribu-
tors will receive a written
acknowledgement of receipt
for tax deduction purposes.

a congenital deformity was
brought into a rescue group in
Central Massachusetts. The little
donkey's front leg was useless
and deformed and only half
grown. The friendly little fellow
was only a year and a half old,
and had such a determined spir-
it
After several conversations, it
was decided that the donkey
should come to live with us in
Florida where he could get the
care and medical attention he
desperately needed. Because he
is a Sicilian donkey, we thought
an Italian name would be appro-
priate, so we named him Luigi.
Originally, the rescue group was
going to bring Luigi to us, but
good intentions did not become a
reality.
So we had to come up with a
plan. Daniel Hickey, employed by
Prosthetics Research
Specialists, Inc., and vet tech
Heidi Marshall would drive a
trailer we equipped specifically
for Luigi's trip. Our thanks to
Gary Woodard for his help in
installing fans in the trailer to
keep Luigi cool.
The first planned trip, the last
week of May, was cancelled
because we did not have Luigi' s

health record or negative coggins
from the rescue group. Our sec-
ond attempt in early June was a
success. Thanks to Daniel and
Heidi, Luigi's long trip to Florida
was safe and comfortable.
Within one week after his
arrival, Ronnie Graves, owner of
Equine Orthotics and
Prosthetics, a division of
Prosthetics Research
Specialists, Inc. in Bushnell, had


a prosthetic leg made for Luigi. It
took Luigi about 20 minutes to
learn to take his first steps. Soon
he was walking the pasture and
grazing with the goats. .
. This past week, when we came
home from work and went out to
the barn, we were treated with a
big surprise.
Along with seeing the goats
come running to greet us, there
was Luigi, hee hawing and run-


ning with his little prosthetic leg
for all he was worth, to greet us!
What a sight that was!
We have learned that Luigi is
going to need an operation, and
then he will need a new prosthet-
ic leg.,
We are all hoping he makes a
speedy recovery, and we are
looking forward to giving him an
official welcome to Florida in the
Bushnell Fall Festival parade.

Going to a monthly TOOFAR meeting and being all alone


HT ere a while back I
received a phone call
requesting that I
attend a TOOFAR meeting
scheduled for June
at Lake
Panasoffkee and
speak to their
group about the sit- S
uation regarding
Florida's natural |
fresh water =
resources.
This is a fine
group of some-
where around
3,200 concerned
citizens from most- JAMIE
ly Citrus and Outdoo
Sumter counties


but .there are a
heap of other good folks in
the organization from all
over Florida and the rest of
the country for that matter
sharing the same goal as I do.
That is, my good friends, see-
ing to it that our fresh water
is safe and totally protected.
I assured them that I would
be there and
wrote the
date, time and
place on my The TOOF
calendar r. their relen
Well, at least I were the n
thought I had
written every- shakers th
thing down Wyson
right. When replaced
the date
rolled around Withlacoo(
I was at the
L a k e
Panasoffkee
Elementary at 7 p.m. where
the meeting was scheduled.'
The trouble was that the
school was locked up tighter
than Cousin Jack's hatband
and it was fast approaching 7
p.m.
The first thing that went
through my mind was I must
have had the meeting place
wrong and it was going to be
held somewhere else but
after I checked out the only
other two places -in
Panasoffkee that could host a
meeting of that size I went
back to the school. Still no
cars were there and the gate


was still locked up.
Anyway, after hanging
around for a while and
dwelling on the situation I
said, "to heck with
it" and I decided
i a that either I or the
TOOFAR folks had
the date all wrong
and one -or the
other of us was at
the wrong place at
_. the wrong time.
When I got back
to the house and
Shug got home
from her prayer
ADAMS meeting, she asked
r Writer with a grin, how my
meeting went? I
mumbled that
there wasn't a meeting. She
answered, "I know, it is
tomorrow night" One of the
men at church apparently is
on the board of directors for
TOOFAR and both he and
Shug had themselves a good
laugh at my expense.
Well, the following night I
went back and
there really
n was a meeting
AR folks in and this time
less quest sure nuff I
covers and was at the
right place at
at got the the right time.
g Dam I seriously
into the considered
doubling my
chee River speaker's fee
but I decided
to let the good
folks off, as
my fee was nothing more
than a good cup of coffee and
some mighty fine homemade
cookies anyhow.
As mentioned, the folks
who make up TOOFAR are,
dedicated folks and have
done a lot of good when it
comes to being right in the
middle of any fight with our
government with regards to
spearheading major efforts
to get projects funded and
taken care of that will in any
way aid or assist our fresh
water resources.
In these days, in my opin-
ion, this is the-number one


Bridge crossing S.R. 48 near Wynn Haven on the Withlacoochee River.


issue, above all that we face
as a nation.
Let's face it folks, without
plenty of good clean fresh
drinking water for today's
and all future yet un-born
generations, there won't be a
nation or anything else here
for that matter, to worry
about.
The TOOFAR folks in their
relentless quest were the
movers and shakers that got
the Wysong Dam replaced
into the Withlacoochee River
and in my opinion it is doing
a good job.
For years I was strongly
opposed to the original dam
and thought it was doing
more harm than good. Since
that time however I have


seen our beautiful
Withlacoochee River dry
completely up to the point
where you could actually
drive a vehicle right down its
river bed. This was a horrible
tragedy in my book and might
have been prevented had not
the danibeen ripped out.
I was on the river
patrolling the very same day
that the TOOFAR meeting
was held and I am here to tell
you all that the river is in fine
shape. In fact, I don't believe
the water quality has been as
good as it is right now in at
least 40 years.
Is the good water quality
the results of the dam? I don't
have that answer but I do
know there is a lot of good


clean flowing water in the
river and that is sure better
than seeing it dry up.
I for one hope that this nat-
ural treasure never goes dry
again and with the right man-
agement by those govern-
ment officials in control of
the river it should always
have water in it.
There are a bunch of proj-
ects that the TOOFAR folks
have pushed and the big ren-
ovation project going on right
now at Lake Panasoffkee is
another good thing they
helped get moving.
A lot of non-members have
also helped on this project
also but the volunteer mem-
bers from TOOFAR have
spent countless hours attend-


ing meetings, fighting for all
of us.
With their growing num-
bers the politicians in
Tallahassee and elsewhere
listen to their unified and
often loud voice.
I enjoyed speaking and vis-
iting with the folks making up
the TOOFAR group and if
you are seriously interested
in the future of our fresh
water you might want to
think about joining and help-
ing their organization.
You can call Pat Brady the
secretary at 352-341-1550 and
she has a wealth of informa-
tion on what they are doing.
The annual dues are only $15
and the money goes to a great
cause.

Education Eases Journey for Patients in Waiting


Patients awaiting transplantation travel a
difficult road, and only the kindness of
organ donors can guide them into a new
direction. But of the nearly 90,000 children
and adults in need of lifesaving transplants,
African Americans and Hispanics seem to
experience longer waiting periods and
more difficult challenges due to the match-
ing process.
Although the advancement of anti-rejec-
tion drugs has benefited recipients whose
donors were not perfect matches, minorities
are still more likely to have successful trans-
plants if their donors share the same eth-
nicity. In the past, donations from this com-
munity have been low due to concerns and
misconceptions about organ and tissue
donation.
As a result, national initiatives were cre-
ated to address those concerns, sparking an
increase in donation from these communi-
ties; This is most definitely something to cel-
ebrate, as lives are being saved every year
due to the generosity of strangers. However,
there is still a long journey ahead, and edu-
cation is still the key to making a difference.
More than 40 percent of those awaiting
transplantation are of African American or
Hispanic descent. These communities are
three times more likely to suffer kidney dis-
ease than the general population due to
hypertension, diet and risk of diabetes.
Knowing the facts on donation and mak-
ing personal healthcare a priority could not
only save other lives-it could save your
own.
Remember the following as you consider
sharing the gift of life: (1) You have the
power to donate life. (2) Everyone should

consider themselves potential donors,
regardless of age or medical condition.
What,can be donated will be determined
through physical evaluations after a patient
passes. (3) It is the hospital's priority to save
your life. Donation is only considered after
death. (4) All major religions support dona-
tion. (5) There is no cost for donation. What
you would give is completely priceless.
To be an organ and tissue donor: sign and.
carry a donor card or state your wishes on
your driver license. Although Florida is a
donor right's state, meaning your wishes
will be honored if designated in writing, you
should still share your decision to donate
life with loved ones.
For more information on organ and tissue
donation, contact the TransLife Public
Education Office at 407-644-3770 ext 230 or
visit www.translife.org.
TransLife, a not-for-profit organization, is
the federally designated organ donor pro-
gram for a 10-county region in Central
Florida. Established in 1973, TransLife pro-
vides kidney ti~asplant, organ arnd tissue

cation sen ices to the community.

Kidney disease left Derrick unable to
be the husband or father he wanted to
be. But a kidney transplant gave him his
life back Now he and his family are
making up for lost time, all because
someone like you made the decision to
be an organ and tissue donor.

break and supported us as we were
getting started in this business," and

Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Sumter Counties find
employment In either case, finding employment is the
number one priority for many job seekers.
Many of these job seekers spend several hours a day
on.their hunt for employment. You've probably heard
the phrase 'looking for employment is a full 'time job'
and wondered if it was true. WCF recently conducted a
short survey to test that theory. Over 190 job seekers
who attended one of the organization's ONE-STOP
CAREER CENTERS in the last few weeks participated
in the survey, where they were asked about the number
of hours they invested while searching for employment
each week, as well as the length of their total job search.
The results indicated that 10 percent of those sur-
veyed spend two hours or fewer searching for employ-
ment each week, 'while 58 percent spend between three
andl5 hours, and five percent spend between 15 and 20
hours per week Close to half of the respondents have
been searching for employment for over a month.

CURVES BRINGS THIRTY-MINUTE FITNESS TO THE


COMMUNITY, OPENING DOORS TO GOOD HEALTH


Uplifting Community of Women Promises a Different
approach to Fitness, Amazing Results for Members


Waco-based Curves
International, Inc., the world's
largest fitness center fran-
chise, today announced the
opening of its newest Curves
location in Wildwood, FL.
This is Wildwood's first
Curves center, bringing to resi-
dents a supportive environ-
ment offering thirty-minute fit-
ness solution with a common
sense weight loss program that
helps break the weight loss
cycle.
To celebrate the location's
opening, the center will host a
special grand opening Open
House on Tuesday, July 5,2005.
"We are excited to become
part of the Wildwood commu-
nity," said Penny Furphy,
owner. "Curves offers a com-
fortable, welcoming place
where real women workout
Our facility is designed so
women can encourage and
support one another while
moving around the circuit We
look forward to helping


women in this community
reach amazing results, both
physical and emotional,
through our Curves Workout
program and support net-
work."
With the average person
gaining three pounds a year, a
reasonable workout regimen
that can fit into today's busy
lifestyle of work and family is
critical to help combat dia-
betes, osteoporosis, hyperten-
sion and other health risks that
women can face.
The Curves Workout pro-
gram, designed by Gary
Heavin and his wife and co-
founder Diane, is utilized in all
Curves locations. The system
allows women of all ages and
fitness levels to perform all
five of the components of a
complete fitness, program,
combining strength and car-
diovascular training through
hydraulic resistance.
The experienced instructors
at Curves offer one-on-one

training, while members talk
and inspire one another dur-
ing the workout Also, the com-
fortable, welcoming atmos-
phere has helped women of all
fitness levels commit to an
ongoing fitness program and
achieve results.
Since the first Curves fran-
chise opened in 1995, the
organization has seen excep-
tional growth, beginning with


44 locations in 1996 and
expanding to more than 1,500
centers in 2000.
In Entrepreneur Magazine's
2004 list of the top five hun-
dred franchises, Curves was
named the fastest growing
franchise of any kind in the
world, as well as the #2 overall
best franchise. Today, Curves
continues to establish itself
among the premiere franchis-


es and currently has more than
4 million members in more
than 9,000 locations within the
United States, Canada, Spain,
Mexico and the U.K. The
grand opening of the
Wildwood location is another
indication of Curves' contin-
ued success.
With a Curves center open-
ing every four hours on aver-
age, it has grown from just one
franchise in 1995 to having one
location for every two
McDonalds in America.
"Helping say goodbye to
unhealthy lifestyles, unattain-
able diet resolutions and
unreasonable fitness regimens
gives women a new outlook on
exercise and feeding their
body properly. We look for-
ward to providing women in
this community a complete
workout in only thirty minutes
that will ensure they can stick
to the program and sustain a
health weight," said Kathy
Lyons, Manager of Curves.

A PAY AS YOU GROW PLAN FOR FLORIDA'S FUTURE


The Departments of
Environmental Protection,
Community Affairs and
Transportation today applaud-
ed the Florida Legislature's
passage of Governor Jeb Bush's
landmark proposal to overhaul
the state's growth management
laws for the first time in two
decades. Passing both cham-
bers of the Legislature with
overwhelming support, the
"pay-as-you-grow"' growth man-
agement law will ensure roads,
schools and water are available
to meet the needs of growing
communities.
This legislation ensures com-
munities are providing the crit-
ical infrastructure roads,
schools and water for new
growth," said Department of
Community Affairs Secretary
Thaddeus Cohen. "Now, as a
community plans for growth, it
must also plan for the funding
needed to provide necessary
infrastructure for that growth."
The Governor this year
marked growth management
reform as a top priority, propos-
ing "hard-edge" development
requirements and new funds to
pay for new growth. The legis-
lation, SB 360, addresses the
road, water and school needs of
Florida's growing communi-
ties.
Roads The reforms close
the gap between new develop-
ment and the construction of
needed transportation by
requiring roads to be in place
or under construction within
three years of a local govern-
ment's approval of a building
permit that would result in
additional traffic.
Schools Local govern-


ments and school boards will
jointly plan for schools, requir-
ing that educational facilities
are available or under con-
struction within three years
from development approval.
Reform closes the gap between
when new development begins
and needed school facilities
are built
U Water The growth" man-
agement legislation creates a
stronger link between local
water supply planning and
regional plans prepared by
Florida's five water manage-
ment districts. In addition, an
adequate water supply must be
available before residents
move in to new developments.
"Increasing capacity on our
roads will keep the traffic and
our economy moving.
Reducing congestion means a
better quality of life for
Florida's families," said
Florida Department of
Transportation Secretary Jose
Abreu. "We will now work with
local government and
Metropolitan Planning
Organizations to develop prior-
ity projects that will make this
freefonn a reality for our citi-
zens. visitors and businesses."
Florida's strong economy has
generated funds to help
address the infrastructure
backlog and future transporta-
tion needs of the state. The bill
provides $1.5 billion next year
for infrastructure funding for
transportation, water and
schools, with recurring funding
of $750 million annually there-
after.
"For the first time ever.
Florida's communities will
have to identify the water sup-


ply for new growth," said
Department of Environmental
Protection Secretary Colleen
M. Castille. "Our common-
sense approach protects our
sensitive environment, while
ensuring safe, reliable, ade-
quate supplies of water to grow
our economy and sustain our
quality of life."
"Under the leadership of
Governor Bush, the state of
education in Florida is now
stronger than ever, and this leg-
islation takes action to pre-
senrve and capitalize on our sue-
cesses in the classroom," said
Department of Community
Affairs Secretary Thaddeus
Cohen. "This new framework
will enable communities to sus-
tain thoughtful growth while
realizing their economic and
development goals."
With more than 1,000 new
residents moving to Florida
daily, the state's .population is
projected to grow by 5 million
over the next 17 years. The
'pay-as-you-grow' system bases
decisions about new develop-
ment on the ability of Florida's
communities to provide ade-
quate infrastructure. Under
the plan, comprehensive plans
now require a budget and time-
line to address the backlog of
infrastructure as well as the
increased demands of new
development Additionally, the
bill discourages the prolifera-
tion of urban sprawl by provid-
ing regulatory incentives to
develop within urban. service
boundaries and urban infill
and redevelopment areas.

Advanced Water Extraction
and Structural Drying is a new
drying company that has recent-
ly opened to service Sumter
County. The new company is the
brainchild of Larry Maier, who
gained experience in the indus-
try as the manager of a drying
company in another location,
and his business partner,
Anthony Irinello. The two of
them have been friends since
childhood, both Sumter County-
born and raised. This close rela-
tionship reflects the way they
conduct their business and
extends a family-oriented feel-
ing to their customers.
According to Maier, "We pride
ourselves in offering a superior
quality emergency service."
Within only two months of oper-
ation, the company's success
rate has been phenomenal.
Advanced Water Extraction is
first rate at efficient drying with
minimal damage to the cus-,
tomer's property. "Our objec-
tive," Innello states, "is to
resume normal activity in the
home or commercial property


as quickly and safely as possi-
ble."
Water damage from last year's
hurricanes caused major prob-
lems for a great many business-
es and homes. Insurance com-
panies took a severe loss, prima-
rily because of the lack of water'
removal companies in many
areas that took a severe beating
from the hurricanes. The pres-
ence of Advanced Water
Extraction in Sumter County
and surrounding areas will help
alleviate this concern, and save
the residents, business owners.
as well as insurance companies,
money
Maier goes on to say, "Storms
are not the only reason for our
services. Broken pipes and bust-
ed water heaters are just some
of the other sources of water loss
that we can address." Their
timely service would help pro-
tect buildings from mold.
For more information about
the services they extend, please
call Larry Maier and Anthony
Innello at 352-568-5335 or e-mail

not represent current cash you can spend.
