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, Bushr BRENDA LOCKLEAR Staff Writer 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 Florida High School ,- Champ Wrangler - I Bullrider, Bareback Rider. Boys All Around. He's been asked to ride for colleges out west on scholarship and She's already turning pro. i earning some cash. Just glancing at the wall of pictures, his body stretched out to match the length of this bull or that bronco tells you what the ride is like. Hand high in the air and body in form. Werner's spent the past four years honing his craft and it 1 shows. Five light-colored leather saddles. each with one of his titles printed on it. grace the family living room. Behind them, on the wall. are at least three- dozen championship belt buckles lie's won. "I always wanted to be a cowboy when I was little." 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 pulled out one arm is longer than the other now; I a broken foot and a dam- s aged eye socket He's miss- a south of C-466. 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 Please see ROAD, Page 2 .....

But even concerned and afraid for him, she's behind him 100 percent, because he loves it. she said. "Just like your kid playing soccer" In the future, he'd like to win the professional circuit - twice because that's the record. -But he figures it might be more by the time he turns 18 and gets a go at it.

Thus far, residents haven't been provided, with much information about the tour of Suwa nnee-American Cement, which Council Members Elsie Ramsey and Jimmy Smith attended.

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.

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 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- David Henry 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." - Poce REPO Wednesday, July 6 i Christopher Munro, 30, center Hill, was arrested for violation of probation. i No bond was set Becky Croom, 18, Bushnell, was arrested for criminal mis- chief.

ExecutiveDirector Hospice Foundation of Lake and Sumter 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 If you gave this idea a thorough review, you might find it has merit Michael E.

"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."

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.

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.

SeniorADVO( II FIRP SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2005, PAGE 5 Guardian ad Litem: giving S A I o l a voice t( 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 His acted out in court, and the jState Department of ;Children and Families and Regal guardian have their kown legal council, but. the 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. ' Kate Busby, case coordina- 'tor of Sumter Guardian ad *Litem, said the program is in r ' ) chiaren in court 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, Sumter's Guardian Ad Litem program assists children involved in dependency court proceedings. From left to right are: Office Manager Celeste Gregoire, Case Coordinator Kate Busby, Staff Advocate Carol Tropea, and Attorney Courtney Durham (seated). 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.

IM IP I & 1014 d d4 1 EIRWOPICNE ICIJ SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2005, PAGE 7 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 ..

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.

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 SECOQ serves over 141,000 member/customers and their families in Marion. Citrus, Lake, Sumter, Levy, Hernando ands Pasco counties. > SECO wins two APEX communications awards .f Sumter Electric Cooper- ative (SECO) has won two major prizes in the highly competitive APEX 2005 national communications awards program. SECO took an APEX Grand Award for its very useful and attractive Home Energy Management Guide and an APEX Award of Excellence for its public Web site. According to John De' Lellis, Editor and Publisher ofCommunications Concepts in Virginia, there were near- ly 5,000 entries in the APEX 2005.program and the "com- .... .' :"i . L ? . petition was exceptionally intense." SECO's entries were up against a variety of national 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 Award of Excellence it won this year is a tribute to the& wide range of information about the Co-op, its programs' and initiatives that the site' makes available to anyone with computer access.

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- 2728. Business donation equals free mammograms Micki Blackburn Realty and Thomas E.

Imium.7,il d, 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- 6234.

GRADES continued from Page 8 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.

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2005, PAGE 13 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.

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. * Pause and rewind shows anytime do all this,all included! * No equipment to buy and no installation fees * Multiple rooms connected in plan Call today in Central Florida Sfor all this together.
