County Commission faces road problems


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

On Tuesday, county commis-
sioners decided to stop taking
on maintenance responsibili-
ties for additional roads by
accepting them into the coun-
ty's plat system, at least until
they can determine what the
'roads will end up costing tax-
payers.
The issue came up when
Public Works Director Tommy
Hurst asked for commission-
:ers' input at a regular meeting
on accepting roads in The
Villages in units 72 through 76,

When Dylan Werner. of
Bushnell, saw his first
mechanical bull at a state
fair he was only 10 years old
and terrified to ride.
Sure, he was dressing like
a cowboy, roping like a cow-
boy and acting like a cowboy.,
but that didn't mean much
when it came to climbing
aboard a bucking bull. It did-
n't matter that he rode the
doors around his house or
lassoed his mom's cactus
and snatched it across the
room.
It didn't matter because.
when it came to that bull -
he was scared.
But he made a deal with,
his dad Christian, who
ended up paying him 50
bucks to ride and that was it.
I loved it." said the
Bushnell teen.
Today, at 16. he's the

he said, but doesn't really
know where the spark came
from.
"He was just going to be a
cowbo.k:" said his mom.
His dad is a merchant
seaman and former surfer
and his mom loved base-
ball.
Werner was born in
Virginia Beach. grew up in
North Carolina and spent
some time in the Virgin
Islands.
When the family moved
to Davie. across from a
rodeo arena, Werner was
ready to ride the real thing.
She was hoping his ride'on
a steer would get him
bucked off and he'd never
want to get on again.
Not so.
Werner said. now, years
later, there's still some fear
in him every time he rides,
but it's something that can
work to the rider's benefit.
because it "Drives you to
stay on top."
He can rattle off a list of
his injuries from riding.
He's had his collarbone

Commissioner Joey
Chandler expressed concerns
he had about how much the
roads would cost taxpayers,
and whether more should be
accepted.,
"It's getting expensive for
the growth that we're having,"
he said. "We need to look at
our entire road policy."
But County Attorney
Randall Thornton said he did-
n't see a way for the commis-
sion to "change midstream"
with roads already in the
process of being accepted,
and that such a change should,
come at a "good breakpoint."


No action was taken on The
Villages roads on Tuesday,
and commissioners planned
to hold a workshop to further
discuss the county's road poli-
cy,; requesting that the Public
Works department gather
information regarding the
related costs and revenue to


be presented to commission-
ers at that time.
The workshop was sched-
uled for 6:15 p.m. on Sept.. 20
at the commission chambers
on the second floor of the
courthouse in Bushnell.
In other business. County
Attorney Randall Thornton


said the Florida Crushed
Stone mine, owned by Rinker
Materials, in Center Hill is in
compliance on points the
board had previously ques-
tioned. Rinker had recently
requested a conditional use
permit that would allow for
expansion of the mine by
nearly 400 acres, but commis-
sioners declined to consider
the request until the mine
came into compliance.
At a meeting last month,
Commissioner Jim Roberts
presented the board with a
notice from Southwest
Florida Water Management
District to the company indi-


eating that six million gallons
of water that should have
been going into a retention
facility were being discharged
daily into Jumper Creek
canal.
There was another problem
of Rinker not furnishing
reports to the county, but
Thornton said this may have
been partly the fault of county
staff, who may not have insist-
ed on filing of the reports.
"Our people should have
done a better job," he said.
Roberts said he wasn't in

Wildwood shooting suspect sought


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Authorities are looking for a
man suspected of shooting a
67-year-old Ocala man on
County Road 213 near the
Russell Stover Candies
Factory Outlet Store in
Wildwood on July 4, just
before midnight
Lt Bobby Caruthers of the
Sumter Sheriff's Office said
the victim, who was shot in the
hand, approached a police
officer in the vicinity near
where the incident took place.
He told the officer he had
received a call from a woman
asking to be picked up on
County Road 213, and he did.


Anyone with information to call the Detective
Bureau at the Sheriffs Office at (352) 793-0222
or the Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS (8477).


But according to the woman,
about 10 seconds after she got
into the vehicle, a man driving
a compact car approached the
victim's vehicle, banged on
the door, and demanded
money.
Caruthers said according to
statements, the victim said he
didn't have any, and the sus-
pect then threatened him with
a gun.
When the victim didn't pro-


duce a wallet or money, the
suspect shot him in the fore-
finger of his left hand, accord-
ing to reports, Caruthers said.
The 24-year-old woman was
located and told authorities
she had been on a date with
the victim the previous night
and the two planned to go out
again when the incident
occurred.
Caruthers said according to
the witness' account, she exit-


ed the vehicle and fled on foot,
and the victim drove away.
He said the victim led the
officer to the scene, where he
saw skid marks consistent
with his statements.
Afterward, the victim was
taken to Leesburg Regional
Medical Center for treatment
The suspect was described
by the woman as a black male,
between 5 feet 4 and 5 feet 5 in
height wearing darkly colored
clothing. Approximate age
and weight were not provided.
Caruthers requested any-
one with information to call
the Detective Bureau at the
Sheriff's Office at (352) 793-
0222 or the Crimeline at (800)
423-TIPS (8477).

88 pounds of marijuana seized, four arrested


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

One of the largest marijua-
na seizures in the county hap-
pened on July 7 and netted
authorities 88 pounds of the
illegal substance and four
arrests.
Law enforcement officers
with the Sumter Sheriff's
Office and Drug Enforce-
ment Administration began
monitoring a Webster resi-
dence on County Road 721 at
about 10 a.m. that morning.
i They entered the property
at noon and detained four
men while they awaited a
search warrant, then
searched the premises and
discovered two boxes weigh-
ing almost 60 pounds apiece
inside a pickup truck in a
barn on the property, accord-


ing to Lt Bobby Caruthers of
the Sumter Sheriff's Office.
He said the boxes con-
tained a combined total of
about 88 pounds of marijuana
wrapped in cellophane.
"This is one of the largest
marijuana seizures Sumter
County has ever had.
A substantial amount of
marijuana was taken before it
hit the streets," Caruthers
said.
He estimated the street
value of what was confiscated
to be around $80,000.
At about 4 p.m. four men
were arrested: Emmett Kirby,
58, Mascotte was charged
with trafficking marijuana
and possession of a firearm
by a convicted felon. Lloyd
Joiner, 61, -Webster, was
charged with trafficking mar-
ijuana, possession of para-
phernalia, and possession of


Emmit Kirby

a firearm by a convicted
felon. David Henry, 39, and
Ricardo Mathison, 39, both of
Georgia, were charged with
trafficking marijuana.
All four were held without
bond.
Caruthers said upon
searching, officers discovered


Lloyd Joiner


Kirby had a 9mm handgun in
his right boot, and Joiner, who
is the only of the suspects to
live at the residence, had a
357 Magnum on the premises.
'Anytime you have firearms
at the location, especially
with this amount of drugs, it
could very well turn danger-

ous," he said, and that all four
were taken into custody with-
out incident
Caruthers said the two
Georgians are suspected to
have brought the drugs in,
and it was unclear if the
intent was to sell the drugs
from the home or to distribute


Ricardo Mathison


elsewhere.
As to whether or not there
will be more arrests in con-
nection with the seizure, he
said,
"I cannot say where this
operation will lead us.
We're going to continue to
work closely with the DEA."

The idea has merit
for saving tax money
Your editorial spent very little time
discussing my niain point and that was to
save the Sumter County taxpayers (all of
them as in One Sumter) $30,000.000.
You may not be concerned about this if
you are not a resident of Sumter County,
however, this is a very big. long-term
expense that could easily be avoided.
All of the current county buildings in
Bushnell would continue to e fully uti-
lized by county employees. In addition
we would add two buildings in Bushnell:
one building for the sheriff's administra--
tion and an additional pod would be
added to the current jail.
So you see, I would not be sending all
of the county offices north. All of the
sheriff's offices, ,the clerk of the circuit,
court, the courts and judges, state attor-
ney, public defender and the office of
guardian ad litem would stay In addi-
tion, public housing, public health
administration and Sumter County Road
and Bridge Department would stay put

you might find it has merit

A prayer for a rich
and new understanding!
"A couple of kids were sitting on a
street comer, fishing into a bucket and
looking very forlorn. A kindhearted
woman came by and gave them a
quarter. "How many have you caught
today? She asked. "You're the sev-:
enth," they told her." Author
Unlkonow\n.
I pray for our adults to gain a rich
and new understanding. Our youth
seem to have this rich and new under-
standing down to a science. Just as
this quote demonstrates, the youth of
today are wise to the adults they live
with and around and they know we
are quick to put money where money
does not belong.
In this example, the children obvi-
ously needed fishing lessons. Since
we, adults, are so eager to give money
and have indoctrinated our children
to accept money, maybe they would
not appreciate fishing lessons.
Let's discuss the children,' who dis-
obey and disrespect their parents all
year long and then not worry about.
receiving Christmas gifts because
there is a program. Not just any gifts,
the best that money can buy because
we. adults, are and will put money,
where money does not belong.
It always amazes me when I hear
adults complain how disrespectful
children seem to be today and they,
the adults, are the first ones to donate
to providing free food, clothing and
toys for children. I am not against this
practice and am praying fora rich and
new understanding of these programs
by the adults. Some children know
that these programs are available and
they can receive assistance by telling
a sob sad story, which may not be true,
to the program organizers.
These programs are extremely sue-


cessful these days because it makes
us, the adults, feel good to know we
have helped a young child. And, we
should feel good knowing that we
have helped a child. Unfortunately,
and without the knowledge of know-
ing, our good deed can and does work
against the parent's control, rules and
discipline efforts. Ipray for a rich and
new understanding.
Hello Somebody! If we, adults. put
as much into local youth organiza-
tion's or church youth programs that
we put into the cost of a new gift,
maybe our good deeds would be more
appreciated by many more.
Try the parents, the community as a
whole, when our children began to
learn and demonstrate the qualities
and skills needed to contribute to the
future. We have many free food, cloth-
ing and gift programs and little, if any,
youth centers. In 2005, our local youth.
are still being hassled by the local
police for congregating in the local
shopping center parking lot Why?
Because they don't have many other
options and they have new gifts they
want to show off. I pray for a rich and
new understanding.
As a response to one of my previous
printed letters to the editor, a parent
faxed: "Ms. Steele. It made me very
happy when I read your ad in the
newspaper. I've been a Sumter County
resident for the last four years and
coming from Lake County area, I just
have not been pleased with the lackof
activity for our youth. I am very curi-
ous as to the response you are getting
and if there are any plans to correct
this problem. I have a 15-year-old who
is very frustrated because he can't
find a job. During the summer there's
not much activity going on -either.
Some parents are required to work
long hours or odd hours should I say


and aren't always home when the kids
are. It would be nice if we could have
programs benefit both child and fami-
ly. Our children are our future and wo
only get out ofthem what has been put
in."

New law makes winners of those with low assets


Q questions concerning our new
Medicare prescription drug
law 'are pouring into my e-mail,
and y postal mail service, as if it
were the beginning of the
monsoon season, or at
least a good summer
Mississippi rain. .i
So let us briefly answer '
some of these most impor-
tant questions, from week
.to week .
What are considered
countable assets and
income, and who will. be
tested?
Income and asset testing --
will be used for the first D
time for beneficiaries of Roi
the 40-year-old program.
Asset testing of all types
will be included within the new law.
Whether one is wealthy or poor, all
Medicare beneficiaries will be
accountable and will have to acknowl-
edge their assets for both Part B (com-
monly known as Doctors or Medical
insurance) and Part D (the' prescrip-
tion drug part of the new law).
Well-to-do beneficiaries will be test-
ed based on their income and this will
ultimately determine their monthly
Part B premium..
Both income and asset testing will
be used to determine whether or not'
you will have to pay for Part D, or at
least receive a partial discount.
Beneficiaries with an income of
less than $12,920 a year and assets of
no more than $6,000, and couples with
an income of less than $17,321 per.


year with assets of no more than
$9,000 are the only winners of this
new law. They will not pay any premi-
um or deductibles. At the present
time, they are scheduled to.
pay only $2 for generic and
$5 for brand name drugs
per monthly supply.
Beneficiaries with'
incomes below $14,355 per
year and assets of less than'
$10,000, or couples with
income of less than $19,245
per year and assets of no
More than $20,000 will pay
based on a sliding scale. It
N includes a maximum pre-
HAN mium of $37 per month
HAN and an annual deductible
of $50 per year. They also
would have to pay a maxi-
mum percentage of 15 percent above
their deductible up to a maximum
drug cost of $5,100, in addition to co-
payments from $2 to $5. Remember,
'this is a sliding scale.
This is the best benefit of the new
law, and perhaps this is where it
should have stopped.
After all, who can live on 13 grand
per year, or, for that matter, a couple
that is "surviving" at the highest
income level. of $9,700 per year per
person? The government's figure of
what they consider poverty is ridicu-
lous.
Allow us to ask that if one of these
married beneficiaries should pass
away and that the survivor is totally
dependent upon Social Security (yes,
Social Security is countable as


income), what is the amount that the
survivor will receive?
Income: All income including
Social Security is countable.
Assets: Beneficiaries' income
cash, stocks,' bonds, bank accounts;
retirement accounts, rental property
Social Security and all life insurance
policies with a face value more thari
$1,500.
Non-countable: Income of othet
dependents in your home, not. your
spouse, your primary home, personal
automobile, burial space, personal
items (personal jewelry and home fur-
nishings) and funeral expenses up to
.$1,500.
This administration's hallucinatio4i
of what is and what's not poverty borf
ders on collective lunacy.
The continued division of wealth
within this nation is a national disk
grace. The economic caste system of
this nation will become its downfall. ,
By the way, what is the middle
class? I don't believe it exists any
longer. I personally don't even know
where the working-poor or middle
class starts and ends.
I do know a lot of wealthy people
(no, not this writer); however, I'm not
sure if they even care. I do not see it oi

Guardian ad Litem: giving
S A I o l

Practically every day, we
Hear about a child who has
been neglected, abandoned,
or abused. We learn about
their stories, and we sigh
with relief that the person
,responsible has been found
tout, the situation has been
hanged and the child has
een taken out of that bad
home or family situation.
But the child's hopeful
journey to a safe and happy
(home doesn't stop there; it's
just the beginning. Now the
child is in protective custody.
The legal terms do little to
invoke thoughts of what actu-
ally happens when a child is
,taken away from home. Once
children are removed from
their homes, whether from
Natural parents, a foster
home, or other relative, an
often long and trying judicial
process begins.
Then a struggle of interests

;Children and Families and

child really has no legal rep-
resentation of his or her own.
Local Guardians ad Litem,
literally "guardians for the
case," volunteers within the
.Fifth Judicial Circuit Court,
,offer their services to help
these children in need of
support Their sole purpose
is to fight for the best inter-
'ests of the children they rep-
resent
" They can come from many
'different backgrounds, and
don't need legal experience.
All that's required is a clean
.background, completion of a
30-hour training course, and
a desire to help.
Besides serving as a
'spokesperson in court for a
child, Guardians gather
information, develop recom-
mendations to present in
'court, attempt to make the
%ourt process as swift as pos-
sible, and ensure that court
'orders are carried out.

great need of volunteers.
"They're really the back-
bone of the program," she
said.
The Sumter office, former-
ly located in a tiny room in
the judicial building at the
courthouse, has moved to
Suite One at 218 North
Florida in Bushnell, and is
made up of an attorney, case
coordinator, office manager,
and part-time staff advocate.
They and children in these
legal conflicts depend on vol-
unteers to advocate for chil-
dren.


Sumter's Guardian
Ad Litem program is
in need of volunteers.
For information, call
the Bushnell office at
(352) 568-6626.


Currently there are 43
active volunteers, with 111
children in need of their
assistance, and the numbers
of children are increasing.
Even though the State
Department of Children and
Families has its own case-
workers who investigate
these family and home situa-
tions, DCF and Guardian ad
Litem do not always share
the same goal.
Busby said the aim of the
DCF is to reunite families,
which isn't always in the best
interest of the child.
"Sometimes there are situ-
ations where parents are
never going to be good par-
ents," Busby said. "That's the
sad part."
"Many times (Guardian Ad
Litem and DCF) will end up
on opposite sides of a case,"
she said. "It's a really frag-
mented system, but we're all
trying to make it better."
In addition to what
Guardians do for children in
court cases, they often help
just by being a consistent,

familiar face. Guardians can
also visit with the children
and accompany them with
visits to family. Busby said
visits with family during this
time are often not' frequent
enough, so Guardians play an
important role in a child's
court process.
During exit interviews at
the end of court cases, chil-
dren are asked about their
experience.
"Many times they will say
'the best thing was. my
Guardian ad Litem,"' Busby
said.
That's what the Guardian
Ad Litem program is all
about: Knowing the children
and their individual situa-
tions, doing the research, and
then determining what their
best interests are and striv-
ing for the best outcome
through the court process.
Sumter's Guardian Ad
Litem program is in need of
volunteers. For information,
call the Bushnell office at
(352) 568-6626.
Even if you can't volunteer,
there's another way to sup-
port the program.
A special fund-raising
event is being scheduled in
September to help assist with
the program's needs.
Program supporter Frank
Arenas, owner of the
FreeFlight Airport in
Coleman, is in the process of
organizing a Sept. 17 event at
the airport to help provide
funding for the program.
Currently, Arenas is hoping
that local business owners
will participate in the event
by donat ing a variety of items
that can be raffled off during
the event
Arenas has said he's hop-
ing to raise about $10,000 for
the Guardian Ad Litem pro-
gram.
All donations are tax
deductible as charitable
donations.

Grace NOT ES



Pants of grace fit everyone


or the past 14 years, my
friend Lorrie Bridges
in California has held
the title of Keeper of the Red
Wool Pants.
They originally
belonged to Raquel
Diaz, who got them
at a thrift store or
yard sale. They're
gorgeous a rich
red, not like stop
sign red, but more
like a fine red wine,
100 percent wool,
fully lined. -
Raquel is tall and
medium build, and
I am short. Even so, NA
the pants fit us KEN
both, which was
always a mystery to
us.
Although I hardly ever wear
red, I wore these pants. It was
cold where we lived, right on
the Monterey Bay. Then when
we moved to Florida, where
it's rarely cold enough for
wool pants, I gave them to
Lorrie. It's like the
"Sisterhood of the Traveling
Pants," only for middle-aged
women.
Of all my friends in
California, Lorrie is the one
I've kept in contact with most
regularly. A few weeks ago,
she and her family came to
Orlando on vacation, so I went
to see her. (Although I forgot to
ask her about the red pants.)
As we caught up on news
from back home, Lorrie told
me that she's been thinking
about writing a book on par-
enting, but she doesn't think
her story is valid.
First of all, she grew up in a
happy family and has loved
the Lord all her life. She once
told me a funny story about
singing in church when she
was little. Everyone would be
singing, "And we sing glory,
glory, glory to the Lord," but
she thought they were singing
about her "Lorrie, Lorrie,


NI


Lorrie to the Lord."
She grew up happy, and
then she married a good man
who also loved the Lord. They
used to lead worship together
in church for prob-
ably 20 years.
They're still mar-
ried; she's still
happy
They've raised
three children, all
who have excelled
academically and
S athletically.They're
decent and well-
adjusted. No drugs,
4' W no drinking, no
ICY promiscuity.. The
LEDY kids love going to
---- church. They love
to be with their par-
ents.
A few years ago, Lorrie's
husband broke his neck riding
his bicycle he's a triathlete
but he's recovered now.
Lorrie has some health prob-
lems, but her eyes still sparkle
when she laughs.
For years, other parents
have come to her for her par-
enting "secrets." Why have
her kids turned out so well?
She said nothing she does is
secret. She follows the Bible
and uses common sense. Still,
she said, she could list about a
dozen questions she's asked
most often and the answers
she gives. I told her that's a
book right there. Each ques-
tion could be a chapter.
But beyond a book's struc-
ture, Lorrie's afraid that her
story isn't valid. She said
sometimes people laugh and
call them the "Stepford" fami-
ly, as if doing well is somehow
not normal or not a valid testi-
mony of God's grace.
"Who would listen to what I
have to say?" she asked, as if
her family's wellness and,
wholeness and functionality-
are somehow a handicap.
But is that true?
Sure, dysfunctions and


messes and mistakes and how
God rescues and redeems
make compelling stories -
great drama. Everyone likes
to hear ashes to diamonds sto-
ries. People like to hear sto-
ries from those who have it
worse than themselves. It's
comforting to know you're not
the only screw up out there.
But what about those who
do things right? What about
those who follow God's laws
and commands with
delight, not grumbling and
who reap the benefits of living
right? Why should they be dis-
qualified or be made to think
their lives don't reflect reali-
ty?
A few weeks ago, I men-
tioned my youngest daughter
once bemoaning not having an
interesting testimony. "What
am I going say that I've
been to church every Sunday
since I was 2 weeks old and a
Christian since I was 3?" she
asked.
I told her that that's a good
testimony. That, too, is a testi-
mony of God's grace.
Grace fits everyone's story.
It's not just for the lawless, but
also for the law-abiding, not
just for the hedonist, but the
self-controlled and temperate
as well.
It's a little bit like the red
wool pants that fit the tall
Raquel, the not-at-all-tall me
and the medium-tall Lorrie.
Different body types, same
pants. Different life stories,
same grace. It's really quite
amazing.

Curves has grand opening


ROBIN EDDINS
Times Correspondent

Penny Furphy loves to give
and opening a Curves in
Wildwood is her latest
endeavor to give to the com-
munity. The grand opening
was held on July 5.
A nurse for the past 41
years, Furphy has been the
school nurse for Wildwood
Middle and High schools for
the last four years.
Furphy launched the busi-
ness because The Villages res-
idents saw a need in the area
for a place for women to go for


their health.
The exercise machines are
designed specifically for
women for optimum cardio-
vascular toning.
Already with more than 100
appointments set, Furphy said
that walk-ins are welcome
between noon and 4 p.m.
Curves is currently working
on extending its hours to
accommodate both working
and stay at home mothers'
busy schedules.
"I think women need to take
some time for themselves, 30
minutes, three times a week,
in a place that gives you a


sense of family is a nice way to
do it." Said Firphy.
The machines are in a cir-
cle in the center of the room
with wall charts and a video
that helps with instructions
on usage of the machines. A
CD player tells you when to
switch to the next machine
and wall charts tell you how to
find your optimum heart rate.
Bottled water is also avail-
able to patrons with proceeds
benefiting multiple sclerosis
research. Furphy is also the
business donor chair for the
MS Walk scheduled for Nov. 5,
this year.


C and M Paper Supply celebrates new home


ROBIN EDDINS
Times Correspondent
Chris and Melanie Maggio
have moved again.
Their business growing so
rapidly they outgrew their last
location on U.S. 301 in only a
year. This past weekend the
Maggios held a grand opening
buffet to celebrate their new
location just off State Road 44
east of Wildwood on Monaco
Way ..
", Beginning tive years ago as
-a commercial cleaning serv-,
ice, the Maggios saw a need in


the area for more and added
to their business.
In addition to the commer-
cial cleaning, C and M Paper
Supply also carries a large
variety of janitorial supplies
both residential and commer-
cial including hospital grade
cleaners, paper products such
as food service containers and
packaging.
If you have a coffee bar in
your office, Chris and Melanie
can keep you supplied.
-,"We carry man\ name-
brand products and can't dis-
play everything we handle in


the showroom and we provide
free delivery to its business
customers," said Chris
Maggio.
The expansion also allows
the Maggios to provide a new
service of selling to the gener-
al public at wholesale prices
by the case or a single item.
C and M Paper Supply plans
on making the buffet an annu-
al event for customer appreci-
ation.
A grand opening ceremony
is planned for July 1f at 1p.m.
after the Surnter Chamber of
Commerce luncheon.

PAGE 8, SUMMER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2005


School grades are



in for Sumter


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

Thanks to the FCAT,
Florida schools are just as
responsible for making the
grade as their students. The
FCAT is a comprehensive test
that assesses a student's com-
prehension and learning
level. The student test results
are used to determine how
each school is performing
when it comes to education.
This year's school grades
were released in early sum-
mer and Sumter County's
grades ranged from five A
schools, to one D school and
everything in between,
according to Sumter School
Supt Rick Shirley.
Lake Panasoffkee
Elementary, Bushnell
Elementary School and South
Sumter Middle School earned
A's, along with the Villages
charter middle and elemen-
tary schools. Wildwood High
School came in with a D, the
Villages High School received
a B and the remaining Sumter
County schools earned C grad-
ings.
For Lake Panasoffkee and
Principal Bill Donahue, it's
the fifth year in a row to bring
in an A grade.
Assistant Principal Colleen
Strickland that one of the
things they do as a school is
focus on giving students time
on tasks. For example, the
transition time of moving
from one subject to another or
one class to another is cut
down, allowing children more
time working in the class-
room.
And the teachers are data
driven, she said, noting that
they scrutinize the previous
year's FCAT scores and areas
where work is needed.
They rely on Success lab
reports and Accelerated
Reader reports that help
them tailor the instructional
needs of each student.
The computer-assisted
instruction is Success Maker
lab. Students are tested on the
computer and teachers get
results on how they placed.
The teacher can put in a tar-
get of where he or she would
like the student to be by the
time FCAT testing takes place
and the computer creates a
schedule of how many times
that student needs to work on
that subject and how many
times they need to come to
computer lab before testing.
It also provides information
on the student that teachers
can share with parents and
areas that need work.
The school has an open
library, which means students
can go in any time ofday. They
also rely on the Accelerated
Reader program, monitoring
student's comprehension in
reading.
Strickland said they set a
goal of 85-percent reading
comprehension and the stu-
dents met the goal, with
88percent.
They had more than 55,000


AR points, which means an
average of about 100 points
per student
"It's outstanding," she said,
adding that she bases her
comment on interviewing
people from different parts of
the state and comparing.
While Wildwood has the D,
Shirley notes there were
some variables. He said their
numerical score was actually
a C, but because the students
in the lowest quartile of read-
ing maintained their reading
scores and stayed level,
rather than actually improv-
ing, the grade dropped to a D.
"If you don't make improve-
ments, you drop a letter
grade," no matter what, he
said.
"The high schools are the
toughest, statewide," he said,
pointing out that the number
of D high schools has
increased dramatically.
It's the first year that the
lowest quartile had to make
bigger gains.
And yet, even with a D
school and more challenges,
scores have improved, Shirley
said.
"Scores have improved
although the challenge is
more difficult"
. Special education students
and students with primary
languages other than English
were also counted for the first
time this year. In the past they
were excluded from scoring.
So now any student, unless
their Individual Education
Plan dictates otherwise, is
tested and their score is
counted.
,"Even with that our scores
went up."-
So although meeting the cri-
teria is becoming more chal-
lenging, they continue to
improve.
"Our ,scores are better, I
think we're on track where we
ought to be," he said.
As for things they'll do to
work on improving, he said
they'll add a reading coach an
extra reading teacher, smaller
class sizes and more.
"We've never had five A's
before, so that's a good sign,"
Shirley said.. ..-: ..
"However C's are just kind
of average," and "That's not
our goal," he said.
The effort to improve
grades involves computer
labs, Title One resources,
after-school programs and
reading coaches at all the sec-
ondary schools.
And while the high school
grades aren't as good. the ele-
mentary schools seem to high-
er. not just locally, but
statewide.
Shirley wants Sumter's
increases and improvements
to be better than the statewide
scores.
As for the challenges of
focusing teaching efforts on
the FCAT through the year,
Shirley said. "Whether you
agree with it or not the
Department of Education and

SECO sends help to the Panhandle


Sumter Electric Cooperative (SECO) is sending a large con-
tingent of men and materials to assist Escambia River
Electric Cooperative .(EREC) in Florida's Panhandle.
Escambia County was hit hard by Hurricane Dennis and all
of EREC's customers were without power as of Monday
morning.
In all, SECO is sending 32 personnel to EREC including;
mechanics, line technicians, service technicians, supervi-
sors, etc.
Equipment being sent includes bucket trucks. material
handler trucks, ATV's, boats, digger derrick trucks (to set
poles) and more.
Barry Bowman, SECO director of public affairs, said, "The
electric system in Escambia County has been extremely hard


Reports from the area indicate that the co-op there has lost
power to all of its customers and we are moving very quickly
to get a major contingent of men, equipment and material upl
to the area to bring much needed relief to those folks." ;
Bowman noted that, in the co-op world, it is common for
co-ops unaffected by storms to rally to the cause of those who
have suffered severe damage to their systems. s
'"We know that we can count on assistance from other co .
ops when we have a major storm in our area and they know
they can count on us.
This shai-ing of resources benefits everyone and we cer-
tainly saw that during Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne last
year," he said. 3

and regional corporations,
associations and institutions
of higher education such as
Publix Supermarkets,
National Association of State
Farm Agents, Washington
International School, etc.
SECO Director of Public
Affairs Barry Bowman said,
"The best thing about these
awards is that they let us,
know that we are producing
high quality communications


products for our
member/customers and they
allow us to measure our
efforts against very strong
national competition.
"Our Home Energy
Management Guide is avail-
able free of charge to any of
our customers and within its
20 colorful pages is a wealth
of information on how to bet-
ter manage energy consump-
tion in the home.
You can get one at any
SECO office or read it on-line
on the Co-op's Web site.
Speaking of the Web site, the

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2005, PAGE 9


Summer County has delegates at 4-H Legislature


The Florida 4-H Legislature
convened June 28 to July 1,
with 250 teen members, sworn
into the 4-H House and Senate
lby Lieutenant Governor Toni
Jennings. The first item of busi-
ness was to pass a joint resolu-
'don recognizing Florida's mili-
lary men and women for their
service, dedication and protec-
ion of our communities
through Homeland Security.
This will mark only the second
jbint resolution enacted by the
4-H Legislature.
! Now in its 33rd year, the 4-H
Legislature program brings
youth in direct contact with leg-
islators and lobbyists. It is the
Only 4-H program of its kind in
the United States. Conducting
business with an acting gover-
ior, lieutenant governor and
cabinet and with both a House
and Senate in session, 4-H leg-
islators, lobbyists and
reporters will debate a variety
of issues and learn how govern-
ment works.
"The legislature program
perpetuates youth learning in


civic engagement, specifically
legislative and government
processes and the leadership
skills to make community deci-
sions regarding public policy,"
said Marilyn Lesmeister, state
4-H volunteer development
specialist and one of the adults
advising the youth-driven
event.
Following Tuesday's opening
session, 4-H legislators broke
into committee meetings
before debating the bills on
Wednesday and Thursday. Bills
successful in both chambers
were signed or vetoed by
Allison Campbell of Lee
County, the elected "4-H gover-
nor" for the 2005 4-H legislative
session.
The 4-H legislative bills are
intentionally controversial and
some may be surprised to learn
not all the bills relate to agri-
culture. While the agriculture
committee's roster of bills
includes topics such as taxing
exotic flora imported to the
U.S.; prohibiting water transfer
from North or Central to South


Florida, and permitting com-
mercial gill net casting along
Florida's coast, 4-H legislators
and lobbyists will also discuss
allowing high school students
to possess over-the-counter
medications, prohibiting any-
one except emergency person-
nel to remain in evacuated
areas, banning chewing tobac-
co, permitting stem cell
research, and permitting fami-
ly members to remove life sup-
port. -
"Kids can make a differ-
ence," said Campbell.
'Activities like this help youth
realize how much influence we
can have on our government.
Head Reporter Jessica
White, from Sumter County,
was up early and to bed later to
make sure her media group
cover every breaking detail.
Reporters spent long hours
interviewing lobbyists, legisla-
tive delegates and government
officials getting all the facts.
According to Martha, B.
Maddox, 4-H/FCS Agent from
Sumter County, 4-H Legislature


bills are designed to promote
debate that simulates real leg-
islative experience.
"The 4-H lobbyists and legis-
lators are not expected to rep-
resent their own values or
views, just practice communi-
cation skills, negotiation and
critical thinking," says Maddox.
4-H Representative Tiffany
Maddox from Sumter County
believes the 4-H Legislature
program helps youth develop a
better understanding of how
our government operates,
helps develop self-confidence,
and improves their public
speaking skills.
"It is vital that youth of today
know the government process
and how they can get involved
to make a difference," said
Maddox. Maddox also served
on the House Agriculture
Committee.
4-H Senator Travis Collier
from Sumter County served on
the Health and Safety
Committee. Collier believes 4-
H Legislature is a great experi-
ence because it opens the door


to experience you can use
throughout your lifetime. "It
provides youth with a learning
experience that teaches them
how our government operates
and introduces them to govern-
ment officials," said Collier.
This is Colliers' third year to
attend 4-H Legislature.
The co-ed hands-on experi-
ence in how government works
is organized by University of
Florida, IFAS 4-H. A youth
organizing committee has
worked steadily on bills and
logistics with UF advisors
since September 2004.
Youth play key roles through-
out the event, helping with reg-
istration, running meetings,
leading charges to kill or sup-
port bills and setting up an
experimental "Green" and
"Gold" two-party system.
Throughout the planning,
bill writing, and debates,
organizers say teens are learn-
ing to be engaged citizens.
Marilyn Norman, state 4-H
leader, said many "4-H
Legislators" take their respon-


sibilities as citizens to vote
seriously and some go on to
careers in government
A Florida 4-H Legislature
program alumnus, U.S.
Congressman Adam Putnam,
joined this year's delegation
via teleconference to share his
experiences and how the pro-
gram contributed to his suc-
cessful political career.
Individuals attending 4-H
Legislature from Sumter
County included: Jessica
White, Tiffany Maddox, Travis
Collier and Martha B. Maddox,
4-H/FCS Agent.
The 4-H Youth Development
Program is part of IFAS and
the cooperative Extension
Service at the University of
Florida in Gainesville.
Last year, 4-H worked with
more than 218,000 youth ages 5-
i8 in Florida's 67 counties and
five Seminole Tribes reserva-
tions in South Florida.
For more information about
4-H, contact the Sumter County
Extension Office at 352-793-

New professional recogni-
tion has been achieved by 13
Hospice of Lake and Sumter
certified nursing assistants
(CNAs).
They are the latest to earn
the designation of Certified
Hospice and Palliative
Nursing Assistant (CHPNA),
said Barbara Lengemann, hos-
pice's education coordinator.
Lengemann said the
Hospice and Palliative Nurses
Association, the testing and
certifying organization,
informed her that the group
had passed the test they took
in March. "It's a very difficult
exam," said the coordinator.
"We're extremely proud they
did so well."
A majority of Hospice of
Lake and Sumter's more than
120 CNAs have now earned
the CHPNA designation, she
added.


The local hospice requires
all of its nursing assistants to
hold CNA certification.
Beyond that, any who wish can
seek the CHPNA advanced
certification. "It demonstrates
an enhanced level of profes-
sional achievement and capa-
bility," Lengemann explained.
She said she and Jack Schiavi,
another Hospice clinical man-
ager, assisted the CNAs by
teaching a series of classes to
help them prepare for the
exam.
The rigorous test is offered
twice a year and covers all
aspects of nursing care from
disease processes to holistic
comfort care, the coordinator
said. She said
The hospice pays for its
CNA staffers to take the exam
as further encouragement for
them to seek the advanced
certification.


The latest Hospice CHPNA
graduates are: Timothy
Archibald, Shaneta Coney,
Vondalyn Curry, Mildred
Daniels, Charolette Federline,
Itilya Hamilton, and
Charlotte Hearn. Also
Voliazzo Hester, Lorraine
Jones, Debbie Mansueto,
Lawanda Nafield, Dale Ann
Townsend, and Judy Vanek.
Hospice of Lake and Sumter
is a not-for-profit, community
healthcare organization. It
provides medical, nursing,
emotional, spiritual, and per-
sonal care services for
patients and families facing
any kind of life-limiting ill-
ness. Services are provided
according to need, not the abil-
ity to pay.
For more information call
Hospice of Lake and Sumter
at 343-1341 or toll-free 888-728-

Hospice seeks volunteers


Hospice of 'Lake and
Sumter needs both adults and
high school teens who can
assist in a variety of ways
Adult volunteers are need-
ed to sit with patients, provide
transportation for patients
and/or their loved ones, run
errands, cut hair for those
patients who can't get out, and
just be a "good neighbor."
Teens are invited to assist
with special projects for
Hospice patients in nursing
homes, assisted living facili-
ties and hospice houses, or to
work in the office.
No medical background is

the Florida legislature has both
the responsibility and the
Constitutional right to deter-
mine curriculum and that's what
'they've done.".
He said it's hard to measure
progress with everybody doing
his or her own things.
"In Florida, this is our set of
standards and pretty much
everybody has a high degree of
accountability," Shirley said.
While the pressure of the one-
day test and even a handful of
bad scores'in a small district or
school.can have a drastic effect,
good or bad, Shirley said he
doesn't necessarily see account-
ability as a bad thing.
"'We ha\e a standard to meet,"
he said, expressing that the
expectation is that the students


can read..
While it's difficult that the test
is the only measure, it's also fair
across the board and across the
district, he said.
He said he wishes it was more
than one week out of the year, in
order to get multiple measures
and a better gauge of what's hap-
pening, but "over time, you do
have .multiple, measures," he
said, likening it to the stock mar-
ket's performance and explain-
ing that you can't determine
things based on just this year's
scores, but rather on a longer
period of a few years.
If there's a steady increase
over a period of years, that's a
good thing.
"You want your scores to be
steadily increasing.".
Every year, as a county, as a
district, our scores are getting
better and better and better
Each class is different and
measuring really has to be done


over time or you can jump to the,
wrong conclusions, Shirley said.
"Over time, I think. we're*
doing a great job."
Shirley said, the staff and
administrators work hard to'
meet the needs and teachers are-
dedicated to the students.
Their decisions are based on
what data the results say they
need, -
"That data changes every
year."
These days, when they gather
for staff development, it's with a
focus on what the tests indicate
need work
It's much more defined, with a-
pointed, specific approach now.
They continue to add pro--
grams and may change what
they do from year to year, said
Shi rley, explaining that they-
evaluate what's working, what's.-
not working and re-channel:
funds into other areas, if they no
longer need certain programs.

CrSumter DART team help out in Florida Panhandle



Sumter DART team helps out in Florida Panhandle


Fortunately, we were
spared the wrath of
Hurricane Dennis, but unfor-
tunately, our northern neigh-
bors in the Panhandle took a
direct hit Days before the
hurricane hit the coast, the
Sumter Dart team was told to
have their new logistics trail-
er ready to respond.
The Sumter Dart team wish-
es to thank the following local
business: Bushnell Foodway
for their generous donation of
food for the team, Bushnell
Wal-Mart for their generous
donation of supplies, and
Prosthetics Research
Specialists,. Inc. of Bushnell
for equipment and manpower
availability.
Sunday evening, the Sumter
Dart team was told to leave
Monday morning for
Tallahassee, where the logis-
tic team would receive their
orders on which area they are
most needed to help with live-
stock, domestic animals, and
their owners. First respon-
ders Ronnie Graves and
Daniel Hickey, who are in
charge of the logistics trailer,
were ready.
The Sumter Dart team had
plans to rotate volunteers, giv-
ing relief to working team
members. Each week, some
volunteers would return,
home while other volunteers
would take over the duties of
running the rescue com-
pound.
Monday morning, just after
the Dart logistic team pulled


out, Tallahassee called. After
reassessing the situation, it
was decided that Dart servic-
es were not needed.
Apparently, the people of
north Florida had their plan
in place, and were able to
keep their animals safe
through the storm. The years,
of education on storm prepa-
ration for animal safety has
paid off this time. The dona-
tions made by Bushnell
Foodway and Wal-Mart will be


stored and used for the next
call to disaster.
Were you prepared if the
hurricane turned toward us?
Did you have a plan to keep
your animals safe?
Remember, if your house is
not safe for you, it is not safe
for your pet either. Do not
leave them behind!
Your pets' vaccinations
should be current, and if you
plan on boarding your dog
through the storm, your dog
must have a bordatello vacci-
nation. Know in advance
where pet friendly shelters
are, and bring a kennel,. pet
food, bowls and leash. Your
pets should always have some
form of identification on. For
livestock safety, humane,
organizations recommend
keeping livestock in a secured
pasture rather then closed in
a barn. Identification on your
livestock is also recommend-
ed.
Have a plan in place, pre-
pare with your animals safety
in mind, and you will have a
better chance to weather the
storm safely.


Dart Logistic team responders to Hurricane Dennis left to right: Ronnie Graves, Sheri Evans,
Daniel Hickey and Bonnie Smith of Bay Area Dart.


Itsy is the perfect lap dog
who will sing to you, and be
your constant companion.
She is 13 years young, bust
as spry as a 5 year old. If you
are interested in adopting

Society/SPCA of Sumter
County at 793-9117 or e-mail

OuA tribute to Revels and 40 years u At FsDAMS Fs Hatchery



A tribute to Revels and 40 years at Richloam Fish Hatchery


he historic and land-
mark Richloam Fish
Hatchery located in
the extreme south end of
Sumter County was originally
constructed by the
Florida Game and
Fresh Water Fish "
Commission back NW
in the early 1960s. =
Harrell Revels .
lived close to
where the new fish -
hatchery was going
to be built and was
employed to work
with the GFC fish-
eries division and
subsequently was JAMIEA
there when the Outdoo0
very first shovel of -
dirt was excavated
for the new fish hatchery and
he has been there ever since.
Harrell has now worked
and lived at the Richloam
Fish Hatchery for 40 years
and his fruitful and produc-
tive career with the GFC and
FWC will soon come to a
close when he retires at the
end of this month.
He served his entire career
with the GFC now re-named
Fish and Wildlife
Commission working at the
hatchery except for four
years when he had to take a.


r










r


leave of absence to serve a
hitch with the U.S. Navy Sea
Bees in Vietnam.
Harrell and I have known
each other for a long time
and we have sever-
al things in com-
mon. One is we are
both Native
Florida Crackers
whose ancestors
were very early
pioneers in Florida
and we both are
descendants who
have been in
Florida for well
over a hundred
DADAMS years and still
Writer counting.
Two of those spe-
cial descendants,
which by the way are at least
ninth generation Florida
Crackers, are Harrell's and
my mutual grandsons, Cason
and Landon Adams.
Harrell and I both were
employed by the old Game
and Fresh Water. Fish
Commission. As I mentioned,
he worked in the fishery divi-
sion and while I served 17
years with the law enforce-
ment division before the
folks of Sumter County elect-
ed me their sheriff.
During the many years I


have known Harrell he has
always been a good friend
and back during the years
when I was a with the Game
Commission working as a
game warden a large portion
of my patrol area included
the vast wilderness that is
near the Richloam Fish
Hatchery.
I can't begin to count the
number of times Harrell
came to the aid of one of my
fellow officers or myself who
had got their patrol vehicle
stuck or was in some other
bad predicament and needed
help desperately. It did not
make any difference whether
it was. in the. middle of the
day or night, freezing cold or
stifling hot, we could always
depend on Harrell.
Harrell with his many
duties at the fish hatchery
has been very instrumental
in raising and restocking mil-
lions and millions of newly-
hatched fresh water game
fish such as black bass, brim
and catfish into the fresh
water lakes and rivers all
over Florida and no telling
how many other states
around the nation, have
received the benefits of his
tireless work at the hatchery.
I have to wonder how many


bass fishermen have caught a
trophy ten pound or better
large mouth bass that Harrell
had at some time been a part
of either helping through the
critical spawning stage or
actually releasing it into the
water.
During the years Harrell
worked at the hatchery, all
kinds of scientific research
was carried out with regards
to enhancing Florida fresh
water game fish and it was at
the Richloam Hatchery
under Harrell's watchful eye
and dedication that the now
famous Sunshine Bass was
developed.
Work at the fish hatchery is
hard and sometimes very
stressful work often requir-
ing 24-hour days in all kinds
of bad weather assuring the
small newly hatched fry sur-
vive. There have been many
other dedicated folks who
worked with Harrell and a
bunch of them were present:
at the recent retirement
party that was held in
Harrell's honor.
Some of those present at
the retirement in addition to
the many members of his
family and close friends were
numerous retired GFC and
FWC fishery employees and


many others that are still
employed.
Some of the retired
employees present included
Chuck Stalling, Bucky
Wagner, Ed Zagar, Tom Croft,
and a bunch more along with
all of the present day hatch-
ery staff including Elvis
Rogers who has been work-
ing at the hatchery nearly as
long as Harrell.
It was a fun day where a lot
of good friends came togeth-
er to honor Harrell and rem-
inisce about the good times
that we all had shared.
There was some mighty
fine eating that went on to
boot and Harrell had even
cooked up a great big pot of
swamp cabbage that he is
famous for.
Folks, you can believe that
if you work at the Richloam
Fish Hatchery you are going
to be a quality worker and
team player ,or you won't' be
there long.
While living and working at
the Richloam Fish Hatchery,
Harrell and his wife Sandy
raised two beautiful daugh-
ters, Landy and Lynette.
My youngest son Davy is
married to Landy and they
have two fine. boys, Cason
and Landon, who were pres-


ent at Harrell's retirement
party and you can believe
these two grandsons of
Harrell's and mine are live
wires.
Anyway, Harrell is a lot of
fun to be around. In 2001 the
year the terrorist blew up the
two buildings in New York
City I was out in Idaho hunt-
ing.
The plan that year was for
Harrell to fly out and help me
drive back home. Well, I was
not sure if Harrell would still
want to come with all the
problems going on with the
airlines but sure enough, as
he had promised, he showed
up out there to help me.
I am here to tell you all that
if Harrell knows one funny
story he knows a thousand or
more and he kept me laugh-
ing the whole trip back home.
That is the type person
Harrell is.
Harrell, thanks for a good
job well done and those
thanks especially come from
the millions of men, women,
boys and girls who have and
will cofitinue to enjoy catch-
ing the untold millions offish
you and all the good folks at
the Richloam Fish Hatchery
have provided us for the past
40 years.


Don't wait to take a FWC Hunter Safety Class


The Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Com-
mission (FWC) is encourag-
ing would-be hunters to sign
up and take their mandatory
Hunter Safety Course. this
summer and not wait until
the fall. This time of year pro-
vides the best opportunity to
get into a class, as slots are
more readily available.
During hunting season and
just prior, classes usually fill
up fast.
The FWC Hunter Safety
Course, or similar approved
course by' another state..
province or organization, is a
requirement to obtaining a
Florida hunting license for
anyone born on or after June


1, 1975. Even though the
course is not required for
persons born before that
date, it is recommended,
especially for beginning
hunters.
Classes are taught through-'
out the state by certified vol-
unteer instructors who teach
firearm safety and laws, basic
hunting terminology, conser-
vation, safe hunting prac-
tices, outdoor ethics, wildlife
identification and manage-
ment, survival, field first aid
and the Florida Wildlife
Code. The course is free and
prepares sportsmen for a
safer, more rewarding expe-
rience while in the outdoors.
,"Don't wvait until the last"


minute to sign up to take a
Hunter Safety Course or you
may have a hard time getting
into a class," said Bill Cline,
program administrator. "A
large number of courses are
being offered statewide this
summer, and it's best to try to
get i nto one while more space
is available. Then, when
hunting season gets here,
you'll be ready to go."
The Florida Hunter Safety


Course meets all the require-
ments for hunter safety train-
ing throughout North
America. It also is essential
for Floridians who wish to
hunt in most other states or in
Canada and need to purchase
a non-resident license.
The course is available to
be taken in a classroom set-
ting, and it is offered in all of
the state's 67 counties. In
addition to the traditional in-


class course, hunters now
have the option of taking
most of the classroom
instruction online or on com-
pact disc, without leaving
home.
However; hunters who
choose the Internet or CD-
ROM version must take an
additional three hours in the
classroom; successfully pass
a written exam; and partici-
'pate in a field-day class that


includes live-firing instruc-
tion on a shooting'range.
"Don't wait to take the
class, and make arrange-
ments now to sign up for one
this summer," Cline said.
For more information on
the Hunter Safety Program or
to learn when the next avail-
able class or field day will be
offered in your area, contact
your local FWC office or visit
MyFWC.com/huntersafety.
