Sumter County government
offices apparently aren't going
to be making a large-scale
move to the north anytime
soon.
In a three-to-two vote,
County Commissioners. on
Tuesday approved a new five-
year contract to lease a coun-

"There is no state-owned
building in the county,"
Thornton said.! "They're not
going to build while they are

With the new, lease project-
ed to pay the county $790,000
the first year and the county
spending about $250,000 a

slightly more than a $500,000

"We will never recover our


costs at that rate."
He had claimed at earlier
meetings that moving county
offices to the building would
save the county about $30 mil-

unnecessary.
But, Commissioner Jim
Roberts contended that he did
not see where the great sav-
ings would come from.
"It would cost .about $6 mil-

noted in the form of a question

Supervisor Richard Mason:
"We need to move forward
on not moving to this build-

approve the lease.
He and 'others contended

some damage due to the intense heat and flames, it was saved. Neighbors said that the homeowners were away on vacation.


Get ready, school is




only 12 days away


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Summer vacation is quickly
coming to a close for Sumter's
students, and once again the
laz. days of summer will be
pushed aside for the hustle
and bustle of school days.
Pencils., papei folders, and
backpacks are making their
way off the shelves at local
stores into the homes of many,
all in preparation of the first
day of school, Tuesday, Aug. 9.


With less than two weeks
left, anyone who hasn't pre-
pared yet will have to get busy..
And for parents, getting
ready for the first day can be a
challenge every August.
They know how laborious
and costly the task of school
shopping can be, whether it's
for clothes or school supplies.
Most of Sumter's public
schools have put out lists of
specific items each child is
required to bring, and those
lists vary depending on the
school. Individual teachers


may also ask children to bring
other items throughout the
year.
There are a few somewhat
unusual items some of the
child ren are required to bring
besides the typical pencils,
crayons, erasers, scissors,
paper, and folders. Some that
may not come to mind when
thinking of school shopping
include cotton balls, band-
aids, rubbing alcohol, large
boxes of tissues, paper towelT,

Commissioner Roberts discusses taxes, move


ROBIN EDDINS
Times Correspondent
Last Thursday, County
Commissioner Jim Roberts
was the guest speaker at the
Sumter County Republican
Club.
He brought pie charts, his
computer and a lot of infor-
mation.
Roberts explained his goal
of decreasing the millage
rate and by way of a pie chart
showed the amount 21.8 per-
cent that was contributed to
the county by property taxes
and how an increase in sales
tax income would offset the
drop in funding from a lower
millage rate.
He showed comparisons of
Sumter County with other
similar sized counties and
how Sumter County was "fru-
gal and gets the most bang for
our buck and not overspend-
ing at all."
Roberts said Sumter
County government has
added 185 jobs in the last six
years and many offices need
more employees but are
unable to hire due to space
constraints.
He agreed that the need of
more space is inevitable but
concluded that constructing
a new building would be far
lower than the $30 million
previously reported.
On one chart, Roberts
showed it would be more
expensive for the county to
use the Wildwood offices cur-
rently leased to the Florida
Department of Children and
Families.
The building, originally a
ball bearing factory and
dubbed the '"Pink Palace" by


some who work there, would
need some extensive retro-
fitting to accommodate coun-
ty offices and the costs
involved would be more than
a brand new facility
Roberts provided informa-
tion from three commercial
construction companies, two
from Florida and one from
Chicago, with the most
expensive luxury version
costing $140 per square foot
or about $10.5 million total.
"Bushnell is the geograph-
ic center of the county, it
made sense 93 years ago
when the citizens chose it as
the county seat, it makes
sense now.
There are ways of meeting
the growth needs of our coun-
ty that are fiscally responsi-
ble," he said.
"Using the Wildwood build-
ing would leave the. county
without the income its rental
provides and how would we
recoup that?"
Roberts said it could lead
to the closing of other annex
offices, which could possibly
mean that The Villages resi-
dents now accustomed to
pulling their golf cart up to
the annex on County Road
466 would then need to get in
their car and drive 13 or 14
miles to renew their tags.
He was confident that a
new long-term 10-year con-
tract and DCF adding anoth-
er 100 jobs in the area would
be of more benefit to the
county.
The contract was set for
discussion Tuesday, July 26.

management and the new
contract that would be more
cost effective 'for the resi-

It's my number, I pay


the bill, I have the right


W while I believe our nation
has swayed some from
where' the forefathers
intended it go, I still take
tremendous pride in
how and why this coun-
try was formed and who
I am..
I have a deep faith in
God and believe that He
is in control of my life,
but I also know that He ,
allows me the freedom to
make some of my own
choices kinda like par-
ents. BRE
I have been born in a LOCH
nation where I have the
right to become whoever
I want to be- it all depends on me.
How hard am I willing to work for
it? What's most important to me?
I can make more money, travel,
meet people if I choose to the
question is, do I choose to?
That's part. of being an
American.
And silly as it may be, as an
American, I used to have the right
to pay for an unlisted phone num-
ber and ensure that it wasn't up
for public notice.
Evidently, not anymore.
There's a new law in town and it,
forces elections offices to give out
your private information. That's
right. it's available just for the ask-
ing, if you're a registered voter:
My thought is, legislators don't


pay my phone bill, I'm not running
for public office and I'm not ask-
ing taxpayers to pay my salary. I
pay my phone bill and I
Spay extra money for that
unlisted number
Unbelievable!
Oh, and here's an
irony, if you choose not
to pay for an unlisted
number and just go for
the regular listing phone
service, the telephone
company charges you for
listing your number
MDA Hmrnmm....
LEAR But back to the elec-
tions office and your
phone number There
are plenty of reasons folks already
have for not registering to vote -
let's offer one more!
Don't plan to have your number
removed. It won't happen you,
can't, they can't, the law won't'
allow it. But don't take it out on
your local office staff and supervi-
sor. They can't do a thing about it.
believe me, they've tried.
As for me, I could remove my
name from the list of qualified
American voters but that really
wouldn't accomplish anything. In
the long run, I'd lose because we
live in a country where my vote
counts, where we have rights,
where we can elect folks to repre-
sent us who will do what's in our
best interests.

Dan's Book Club: I had the oppor-
tunity to read a couple of new
books this week I either receive
or am offered a number of books weekly.
This is not because I am special; most
writers receive books from various pub-
lishers. Of course, publishers hope I will
like the books and "suggest" them to my
readers.
It is a common practice of publishing
agents to offer books to members of the
media. In the course of nine years of pro-
ducing and hosting a radio show, the
books would just pile up in a storage
room in my then office.
I abide by an honesty ofcriteria, which
has to satisfy me before I would even
suggest a book,
Not only do I consider the material, its
sincerity, readability, as well as the
author's credibility, but also I consider
font size. If I don't know which pair of
eyeglasses to use, I think many of my
readers might have the same problem.
Anyway, the books I read this past
week pass all of my requirements: so
from me to you. ,
The series of books are published by
Alpha, a member of the Penguin Group.
.And they all begin with the title of
"The Complete Idiot's Guide (CIG) to...",
not to be confused with the series of 'A
Dummy's Guide...". I read this past week
were "The CIG to American
Government," authored by Mary M.
Shaffrey. I foundit informative, educa-
tional and extremely readable.
If you want to know more about how
your government was founded and con-
tinues its function, read and reread this
book It would also be a great starter for
your children and grandchildren, all of

John and Ethel Stephens. They
represent the best in all of us, and
few have done as much, for as
many, as have the Stephens.
Whether it is having made such a
positive impact on students, county
government or within their church,
Mr. and Mrs. Stephens have been
permanent fixtures of participa-
tion, leadership and success in our,
county.
I am 100 percent on board with
the campaign to honor John and
Ethel Stephens for their lifetime of
citizenship and service. I also
encourage all of you to join the
effort to recognize and thank them.
Sumter County is-. a better place:
because of them.
Thank you,

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 28, 2005, PAGE 5


Bumper sticker guides musician to ministry


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

Henry Poates, of Wildwood,
was just coming around
again, after years of being
angry and lost. Twice
divorced, he had put his life
on hold, been angry with him-
self and angry with God.
In 2000, he went back to
church for the first time in a
long time, even taking part in
a contemporary music min-
istry.
But it was early one morn-
ing in 2001 that the first in a
series of incidents happened
in' his life, leading him to
believe that he was being
guided.
It was about 2 a.m. and
Poates was working as a truck
driver. Traveling a long, lone-
ly stretch of road, he watched
as a car came out of nowhere,
passed him and then slowed.
He couldn't tell you the
make or the year of the car -
but he could read the bumper
sticker 'Jesus died for you,
what have you done for him?"
"I thought about this for a
while and a song just popped
into my head and stayed
there. It was there day and
night, but I tried to ignore it,"
but he was unsuccessful. It
was six months before he
could put it out of his head.
He eventually had to give
. up truck driving because of
his health.
He had a second heart
attack and while he was in
recovery, the song returned
and he knew he had to some-
thing about it
For over 18 months he
wrote, re-wrote, changed
music and lyrics. Finally fin-
ished, it remained in his desk
drawer
"There was just something
that told me that it still was
not done."
He left it and went o6n other
things.
A second song came to him
"The Child Within." After
two weeks, it was w written.
recorded and published.
Then there was a third -
"'Gilin' It Up." That one took
less than a week.
Since that first song came
hto him.- he's married again.


Now to the "Love of My Life",
Joanne." In the past months,
he brought that first song out
and rewrote the music, leav-
ing the lyrics.
"I felt that it needed anoth-
er verse, but nothing would
come into my mind. I finally
asked my wife, Joanne, to
write the last verse. She
protested and told me that
she was
asked not to
sing in a
mandatory "I hope to S
glee club that with
during her
nurse's train- nothing is
ing. She is and it's nev
quick to tell said Hen
everyone
that she
knows noth-
ing about
music."
"After some discussion and
a little gentle persuasion she
agreed to try. In twenty min-
utes she came back with just
the right verse. It is probably
the most powerful verse of
the song."
After years of being put
aside, "What, Have We Done
For Him." is currently in the
process of being recorded
and published.
But he's already completed
his "Trilogy" CD. which


Joanne and Henry Poates

includes the two earlier
songs and "You Raise Me
Up," written by Graham and
Loveland.
"This is not something that
I set out to do," he said, clear-
ly pointing out that he
believes God is guiding him
and providing for him.
It was Poates' dad, Henry,
Sr. who taught him how to
play six
chords on
the guitar,
how others how to play a
God's help little on the
banjo and
impossible man d dolin
er too late," and even the
nj PoaItes. fiddle. While
y Poales. the senior
Poates could-
n't read
music, he
certainly allowed his son to
take lessons.
His talent drew him to the
musician's life in the early
1960s.
"I played for seven years in
a semi-professional group,
the Mark IV After that I
played in a professional trio
for about two years, the
Shades of Grey. The trio was
a touring group and we
played in New York and
toured the mid-west."
But then in 1970, his world


changed his dad died.
"I had made my dad a
promise that I would look out
after mom.
"I left the group when my
father died in 1970 and got
completely out of the music
business. After my father
died, I lost all enjoyment in
music. I was angry with
myself for being on tour when
my father died and angry
with God that he could let
this happen."'
The younger Poates had,
been baptized when he was
only 12 and wh le his parents
had made sure he went to
church, they rarely joined
him in. services, he said.
Eventually his mom and
grandmother joined him in
accepting Christ, but it was
his dad that he was still pray-
ing for.
It never happened, as far as
he knows.
After returning home and
drawing on his anger, he fell
completely away from church
and his 26-year marriage fell
apart. He said he hadn't done
the best job as parent and
spouse, leaving his four
daughters' upbringing to his
wife. ..
"I can see why," it fell-apart,
he said.
He married again. 12


years, unhappy.
But as that divorce was
under way, he was talked
into, or rather "strong-
armed" into visiting a church,
he said.
"I started going and I really
enjoyed going. It made me
feel better," he said.
"What I had been search-
ing so hard for, for so many,
years it was always there,"
he said.
That was in 2000 and he
even joined a contemporary
Christian group who per-
formed at the church the
Pathfinders.
He said he "did some pow-
erful praying," and "after I
got back into that I was more.
at peace."
These days, he's also com-
piling his work and that of
others to create a live per-
formance ministry and
soundtrack CD called "Love
Is The Answer." The perform-
ances and CDs are free, but
he will accept donations to
,help grow the ministry.
Anyone interested can con-
tact him at 748-4757.
"I hope to show others that
with God's help nothing is
impossible and it's never too
late."
At age 60, he's had two
heart attacks, open-heart'sur-
gery and other medical prob-
lems.
"In this dayand time, prob-
ably more than ever before in
history, God's word needs to
be heard. Music is just a vehi-
cle to spread his word."
He said over the years, he's
learned "The more things
seem to change, the more
they remain the same."'
"Most of us think that we
have everything under con-
trol, but the real truth is that
we haven't done a very good
job on what's really impor-
tant. Money, success, standing
in one's community and all
the other things we seem to
use to gauge a person's suc-
cess or wealth or fame is not
important in the overall
scheme of things. What is
important is how we live our
lives, our relationship with
other people, and most
Importantly, our relationship
with Go(ed."

These are 'ordinary days'


T hese are ordinary days.
That's what one of my
Catholic friends told me. In
the Catholic calendar, in
between all the
fancy days like
Advent and Lent,
Epiphany, Easter
and Pentecost, the
days are called.
ordinary days.
Plain old days.
Just ordinary.
Nothing fancy.
Kind of regular.
I looked it up on
the Internet and
found that there NAN
are a whole lot KENN
more ordinary
days than non-
ordinary ones, which
describes life. A whole lot of
ordinary with some fancy
thrown in here and there.
Some folks think that's a
bad thing, but I'm not one of
them. I love daily and regular
and plain and same.
Last week I visited with
Elsie Meloche who was cele-
brating her 102nd birthday.
One of the things we talked
about was the games she
remembers playing as a kid -
jacks and tag and hopscotch.
She lamented that being a kid
is just too complicated these
days.
I'm not 102, but I tend to
agree. Once I was telling
someone about how my sister
and I used to sit on the curb
outside our house and play in
the gutter water: The person
looked at. me as if I had said I
liked to eat worms on toast.
So, I said. "He.y if you've
never played in gutter water
and made dams with rocks
and popsicle sticks then you
haven't lived."
These are ordinary days.
The sun rises and sets. The
rain falls ihn the late afternoon.


Grapes are 98 cents a pound.
The other day I watched
lizards play on my front walk-
way. I pulled a few weeds. I
scoured my kitchen sink and
told my husband I loved him. I
ate a grilled cheese
sandwich for dinner-
and washed my
kitchen floor with
warm water and a
bit of ammonia.
My daughter
called to say that my
granddaughter glue-
sticked paper all
over the back win-
dow and the hot
Georgia sun had
CY baked it on and that
EDY it was annoying to
scrape all the paper
bits off, but amusing
all the same.
One summer when we lived
in an apartment in California
my kids and all the neighbor
kids spent nearly every day in
the carport playing a game
they called Zoom-a, Zoom-a.
They took a cardboard box
and flattened it, then as one
kid sat on it, another would
drag it. By, the end of each day
they were as dirty as coal min-
ers, but it was good. It was all
good.
It was ordinary and so very,
very good.
When you think about it, as
grand and glorious as God is,
he mostly uses the ordinary to
speak to people. When the
Israelites crossed the Jordan
River on their way to the
Promised Land God told them
to collect stones from the mid-
dle of the river to use as
memorials.
Jesus talked about spar-
rows, about gardens and
sheep, pennies and cups of
water given in his name. He
used bread and fish to feed
thousands, bread and wine to
symbolize his sacrificial
death. He healed with mud


and spit, made furniture with
his hands, was crucified on an
old, rugged cross.
He made the ordinary
sacred, and he makes our
ordinary lives extraordinarily
sacred as well.
Sometimes life is big and
grand. You win the lottery, eat
filet mignon, go on Oprah. But
mostly you don't. Mostly you
just floss your teeth and wait
while your tires are being
rotated and balanced. You
clean lint out of the dryer trap
and fish under the fridge for
the cap to the olive oil that
always seems to roll under
there.
You say your prayers and
count your blessings, you
change the porch light when it
goes out, you eat ice cream
right out of the carton. And if
you're .lucky or fortunate or
blessed whatever you
choose to call it God meets
you there, right smack in the
middle of the ordinary.
Father, Son and Holy Ghost
joining in while you fold your
socks.
In "The Valley of Vision"
there's a Puritan prayer that
says, "Thou hast made sum-
mer and winter, day and night;
each of these revolutions
serves our welfare and is full
of Thy care and kindness."
The sun rises and sets. Kids
glue-stick paper to windows.
Lizards play. Babies cry. God
draws near.
These are ordinary days.,

- I Know the Real Secret,"

Students need to get ready for LSCC

Center State Bank in Wildwood. The BAH meetings are held at a time when most
business persons can meet and network with each other. Kay McCoy of Center State
Bank explained that the name change from Community National Bank of Pasco
County was necessary to reflect the banks current services to the .needs of its cus-
tomers.

Food storage tips during power outage


MARTHA B. MADDOX
County Extension Agent

If storms have moved
through your area and left
you without power, then you
may be wondering what to do
with all that food in your
freezer.
The ideal thing to do when
your freezer goes off is to put
a refrigerator/freezer ther-
mometer in the freezer. Then
you have a way to monitor the
temperature to be sure it
stays at least as cold as a
refrigerator (40 degrees F or
colder). If you can get dry ice,
a 50-pound block will protect
solidly frozen food in a full 20-
cubic foot freezer for three to
four days. If dry ice is not
available andor you do not
have a thermometer in the
freezer: then the question of
safety becomes a bigger issue
the longer you are without
power.
Some thawed foods can be
re-frozen. However, the tex-
ture will not be as good. Other
foods may need to be discard-
ed. Here are some general
guidelines:
Meat and Poultry: Re-


freeze if the freezer tempera-
ture stays 40 degrees F or
below and if color and odor
are good. Check each pack-
age, and discard any that have
signs of spoilage such as an
off color or off odor. Discard
any packages that are above
40 degrees F (or at room tem-
peratures.
Vegetables: Re-freeze only
if ice crystals are still present
OR if the freezer temperature
is 40 degrees F or below.
Discard any packages that
show signs of spoilage or that
have reached room tempera-
ture.
Fruits: Re-freeze if they
show no signs of spoilage.
Thawed fruits may be used in
cooking or making jellies,
jams, oo preserves. Fruits sur-
vike thawing with the least
damage to quality.
Shellfish and Cooked
Foods: Re-freeze only if ice
crystals are still present OR
the freezer is 40 degrees F or
below. If the temperature is
above 40 degrees F, throw
these foods out.
Ice Cream: If partially
thawed, throw it out. The tex-
ture of ice cream is not


acceptable after thawing. If
its temperature rises above 40
degrees F, it could be unsafe.
Creamed Foods, Puddings
and Cream Pies: Re-freeze
only if freezer temperature is
40 degrees F or below.
Discard if the temperature is
above 40 degrees E
Breads, Nuts, Doughnuts,
Cookies and Cakes: These
foods refreeze better than
most. They can be safely re-
frozen if they show no signs of
mold growth.
If you are certain that the
temperature has remained at
least 40 degrees F or colder in
your freezer, then a good rule
of thumb is that you could use
the food within two to three
days ... like you would if you
had it thawed in your refrig-
erator. If you refreeze the
food, plan to use it more
quickly than you would have
if it had stayed frozen all
along because there will be
some loss of quality.
For more information about
this and other food safety top-
ics, contact Family .,and
Consumer Sciences
Extension through your local
County Extension Office.

Modular homes leap into the 21st century


ROBIN EDDINS
Times Correspondent

While modular homes are not
new to Sumter County, this par-
ticular type of home is the first
to be set here.
A 1/2-story Cap Cod, 4,200
square-foot home including a
two-car garage, was purchased
by Charles Lockett for his family
of five.
The DOJ employee said that
time con-
straints and the
fact that he and
his wife tray- In just a,
eled approxi- days the
mately 1,700

hunting and an options in
average of a6 the fami
month wait for the fami
occupancy moving
helped him to
decide on the
new type of
home by
Goldcogroup, an authorized
builder for Nationwide Homes.
"We looked at several types of
homes including a Styrofoam
poured concrete home but
found the length of time too
long. We checked out these
homes and found that the quali-
ty and architecture choices and
we could be living in it in about
two months, very cutting edge,"
said Lockett.
Micheline Dionne-Farber,
spokesperson for Goldcogroup
said, "The speed of construction
is a big plus for people looking
to enter a new home. The homes
are delivered 90 percent com-

plete in one-third the time.
There are little or no weather
delays during the construction
of the home although some
weather problems may arise
during the actual setting up at
the home site. The homes are
energy efficient, too.
"Conventional mortgages
apply for this particular type of
home and prices range from
$100,000 and up depending on
design choices. Plans for 16
homes in Webster and nine in
Coleman are

exterior The Cape
Cod version the
place and Locketts chose
y will be was delivered
,g in. on four
S flatbeds after
the foundation
was ready.
Each section
was prepared and then lifted
onto the foundation by crane
and then attached to the founda-
tion and the 'other sections of the
home. In just a few short days
the home will have its exterior
options in place and the family
will be moving in before the end
of August.
Once the home is in place the
exterior is added which can be
anything from clapboard to stuc-
co to brick or something in
between.
The home choices can be up
to three stories high and are also
available in townhouse, duplex,
triplex and quadplbx varieties.,


After the roof was raised by the crane and then placed on the foundation workmen attach the segment to the foundation.

The Salvation Army prepares for the hurricane season


The Salvation Army in
Lake and Sumter Counties,
Florida h started prepar-
ing for thiW year's hurricane
season, including Hurricane
Dennis, which, fortunately
left Sumter County
unscathed.
Local preparations include
storage of paper goods, non-
perishable food items and
other basic emergency sup-
plies.
"The six to seven volun-
teers and the staff for the
mobile canteen that is
garaged in Leesburg,
Florida, have already been
called and are on alert and
supplies are being stocked",
said Captain Sandra Bagley,


Corps Officer.
"We are already in contact
with our state disaster servic-
es director and his staff so
they will be prepared to
assist if they are needed,"
Captain Bagley added.
Captain Bagley serves as
The Salvation Army repre-
sentative at the Lake County
Emergency Operations
Center.
In Sumter County, Bill
Stewart, Service Center
Administrator, has been
placed on alert and has
begun to update the stock of
emergency supplies.
"I attended a special meet-
ing at the Sumter County
Emergency Operation Center


(EOC), so we will be prepared
for the effects that are pre-
dicted, for this area," Stewart
said.
"We are in need of some
basic supplies such as paper
goods, nonperishable food,
cleaning supplies and non-
food baby products," he
added.
Stewart serves as the rep-
resentative to the county
EOC and is coordinating
efforts for recruiting and
training volunteers as well as
coordination of donations as
well as providing meals to
the EOC volunteers and
workers and other emer-
gency response personnel.
Captain Bagley and Bill


Stewart also noted that they
are in need of volunteers who
want to be trained and who
will be prepared during
times of emergency and dis-
aster.
Captain Bagley also stated
that cash donations may also
be sent to the Lake County
and Sumter County offices
and may be designated for
use "For Emergency
Assistance."
.That designation allows
the funds to be used for cur-
rent emergency needs and
assistance to those who are
affected by the emergency as
well as ongoing emergency
needs.
Statewide conference calls
have already been held and
others are scheduled on an
ongoing basis. The confer-
ence calls allow all the disas-
ter services personnel to be
aware of what actions have


already been taken and what
is being planned.
The Salvation Army ware-
house, located on the Florida
Panhandle was prepared for
the effects of Hurricane
Dennis.

regarding disaster services
and the local efforts of The
Salvation Army, please con-

Ask SCORE: MARKETING THOUGHTS


Here are some thoughts that I found to-
work for me over the years to increase busi-
ness and are likely tobe familiar to you.
Theywork if you really practice them.
Advertise
Can you afford it?
Yes, there are many ways to advertise and
here are the most important things you want
your future customers to know: WHO, WHAT
and WHERE.
Let them1know who you are, why you are
qualified to furnish them your product or
service.
What do you offer to them? '
Where are you located, how can they con-
tact you?
How do you accomplish this? What media.
do you use?
Here is where it gets a little tricky.
Newspapers usually are the first that enter
your mind. however, many surveys show that
is down the list a ways as being the most suc-
cessful. Internet is very popular and for some
businesses it is the best
So what I am saying is. you must do some
investigating as to how to best reach your
customers, then try the method chosen and
track it very closely to see if it's working. ,And

of course. what can you afford?
The advertising that is considered the best
is WORD OF MOUTH. How do you get this
started? Join the Chamber of Commerce.
Trade Associations. Merchant Groups, other
local social and economic groups.
In doing business with Japan, the first
thing I did was to sell myselfas someone they
want to do business with.
This works everywhere. How do you
become this person or company?
You offer the following:
Quality -This is what everyone is looking
to receive and what you want to have talked
about Word of Mouth.
Service We want it now! If not now, then
when? We want to be cared about, not
ignored.:
Be honest. Understand your customer's
problem. .
Price Not necessarily the least expen-
sive: rernember: quality and service is worth
something, too. Be competitive with a fair
profit.
Know your cost, include all of them, even
the least, and make a fair profit.
.As I mentioned in the beginning, these in
general are some ofthe principle I found that

important.
Can you afford to advertise? You cannot
afford not to. Word of mouth is the least
expensive and the most important

ture'.

es, beginning Aug. 18 and end-
ing in December. Most materi-
als are included.
You may register at the
Adult Education Center in
Sumterville, or call 793-5719
for more information.


Things to do in August for the
homeowners in central
Florida.
Lawn care: If you are using a
natural organic fertilizer such
as Milorganite, apply 15
pounds per 1,000 square feet in
the latter half of the month.
Natural organic fertilizers
require that soil fungi and bac-
teria break down the fertilizer
materials in order to release
the nitrates in low to moderate
amounts over a longer period
of time. We do not want to have
a lot of available nitrogen pres-
ent at any one time and cer-
tainly not after early October.
Also watch for chinchbug
damage in St. Augustine grass,
or mole cricket damage in
Bahiagrass lawns.
Centipede grass should be
fertilized for the last time in
August.
And remember, don't bag
those .lawn clippings!
Returning clippings will give
nutrients to your lawn.
Crape Myrtle: Remember to
continue clipping spent
blooms to encourage more
flowering. New blooms on the
same stem take four to six
weeks.
Citrus: Is ready for its third
and last feeding. This should
carry it through February.
Palms: The best time to
transplant palms is in the sum-
mer months. Potted palms can
be planted at any time. Best
cold-hardy varieties for
Sumter County include Sabal,
Canary Island Date, Chinese
Fan, Dwarf Palmetto,
European Fan and Lady Palm.
Yellowing of older leaves
may indicate a shortage of
magnesium, which is common
after heavy rains. This defi-
ciency can usually be prevent-
ed by annual applications of
magnesium sulfate, one to five
pounds depending on the tree
size, now or September. Scatter
in a two-foot wide band start-
ing two feet from the trunk
The use of a good quality palm
fertilizer, applied three or four
times during the growing sea-
son (March through
September), is the best way to
ensure healthy palms in your
landscape.
Poinsettias: This is the last
month to prune or shape these
Holiday plants. Do not prune
after September first, or you
may loose those colorful bracts


for the holiday season:
Daylilies and Louisiana
Irises: May be divided now.
Make new plantings 12 to 18
inches apart
Vegetables: Prepare vacant
areas for fall planting this
month. You may wish to have a
pH test done to see if lime or
sulphur is needed. Add organic
matter, manure, if available
and turn under cover crops.
Add 2 to 4 pounds of 8-8-8-fer-
tilizer per 1,000 square feet one
or two weeks before planting.
Diazinon granules spread
before planting can control
mole crickets, wireworms, cut
worms and other insects. If
your seeds have not been treat-
ed with fungicide,, dusting
seeds with captain or thiram
will help prevent disease.
Always follow pesticide label
directions.
The University of Florida
"Vegetable Gardening Guide"
contains much valuable infor-
mation. It is available at the
Extension Office.
Going on vacation: Planning
for vacation may involve more
than packing the suitcase and
the car and making room reser-
vations. Determine how to save
water in your garden areas and
landscape by purchasing
timers for hose end sprinklers
well before you leave so that
you have time to test the effec-
tiveness of those systems. Set
timers on irrigation or irriga-
tion systems to make regular
infrequent applications.
Arrange to have a neighbor
keep an eye on the irrigation
system to insure that it is work-
ing while you are gone.
Remember, timers need to be
reset in the event of interrup-
tions to electrical service or
there are battery-powered
timers, which use a small AA
battery.
Beneficial insects like lady-
bugs love to dine on aphids and
other little bugs such as thrips,
mealybugs and spider mites.

for the Establishment of the

TIME:

LOCATION:


August 23, 2005


6:15 p.m.


Historic Courthouse, Room 222, 209 North Florida Street,
Bushnell, Florida 33513 s


Interested persons are advised that a public hearing will be held on the 23rd day of
August, 2005, at 6:15 p.m. at the Historic Courthouse, Room 222, 209 North Florida s9
Street, Bushnell, Florida 33513, before the County Commission of Sumter County, ai
Florida to consider the elements of a Petition filed by Power Corporation 'I
("Petitioner"), to establish a community development district to be known as the Lake 11
Miona Community Development District ("District"), as authorized and provided for 'i
in Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. A copy of the Petition is on file and available for '
public inspection and/or copying at the Building and Zoning Department, 3rd Floor, 'd
Historic Courthouse, 209 North Florida Street, Bushnell, Florida 33513, Florida, "
between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. except on weekends and holidays.

The information presented at this hearing will be used to afford the Petitioner, a
landowners, any affected units of local government, and the general public, a fair and>.
adequate opportunity to appear and present oral and written comments regarding the,,
establishment of the District. If adopted, the ordinance will establish the Lake Miona
Community Development District, name its initial Board of Supervisors and designate '
the land to be serviced by the District.

The land area proposed to be served by the District is located entirely within r1
unincorporated Sumter County, Florida. The District will comprise of 158.53 acres of 1'
land. The boundaries of the lands proposed to be served by the District are outlined in ,i
the map depicted in this notice. The site is located in the area bounded on the West by w
rural residential land, on the East by Lake Miona and Planned Unit Development, on Wv
the South by Sumter County Road 114, and on the North by Sumter County Road 472. ,'
There is no real property located within the District that will be excluded from, the A
jurisdiction of the District. The Petitioner has proposed that the District will construct s
or acquire certain infrastructure improvements in order to serve the land within the
District.

By way of information, a community development district is a local unit of special -T
purpose government authorized by statute to ensure the provision of infrastructure to
serve community developments subject to state and local regulatory requirements
governing the lawful use and development of the property. Establishment of a district _.
pursuant to Chapter 190. Florida Statutes, is not a development order under Chapter
380. Florida Statutes. All planning, permitting and other regulatory requirements
pertaining to development within the land area will be in accordance with general and o3
special law. and the Sumter County Comprehensive Plan.

The County Commission Will comply with section 190.005(2). Florida Statutes, in
conducting the public hearing on whether to establish the District by ordinance. The '
purpose of this hearing is to consider the relationship of the petition as submitted by :n
the Petitioner to the six factors listed in section 190.005(l)(e), Florida Statutes. iq

A statement of estimated regulatory costs ("SERC") was prepared by District
Management Services, LLC, in compliance with section 120.541, Florida Statutes. as
required by section 190.005, Florida Statutes. The complete: text of the SERC is
contained as Exhibit, 10 to the Petition. By way of summary, .the SERC estimates that
the principal entities likely to be affected by the ordinance are the State of Florida.,-,
Sumter County. Florida. and the District, and describes the type of individuals most
affected by the ordinance as the landowners within the District. The SERC estimates d
that establishment and enforcement costs to the above-described entities will be re
modest and are concurrently budgeted or not burdensome; and, that there will be little .l
to no effect on state and local revenues from the establishment of the District. Further, m
the SERC estimates that certain development-related transactional costs incurred
would occur regardless of whether the District was established and are voluntarily `a
assumed if at all by and through individuals or entities owning or purchasing property ,
in the District. Finally, the SERC concludes that the. establishment's effect on small ,
business will be minimal or positive and that Sumter County is not a small county as
defined by section 120.52, Florida Statutes. ,

At the above-referenced public hearing, the Board of County Commissioners will i0
consider and adopt the following ordinance:

An ordinance by the County Commission of Sumter County, Florida .i
establishing the Lake Miona Community Development District; naming the ,s
District; describing the external boundaries of the District; granting special 'it
powers; naming the initial members of the District's Board of Supervisors; t41
providing for conflict and severability; and providing an effective date.. id

At least 10 days, prior to the above-referenced hearing, a copy of the proposed -0
ordinance establishing the hearing will be available for inspection by the public at the 'u
Building and Zoning Department, 3rd Floor. Historic Courthouse, 209 North Florida
Street, Bushnell. Florida 33513. Florida. between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
except on weekends and holidays

Interested persons are advised that, if a person decides to appeal any decision
made by the County Commission with respect to any matter considered at a
hearing, he or she will need a record of the proceedings, and that, for such
purpose, he or she may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings i
is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal
is to be based.

Persons needing special accommodations to attend any hearing noticed v
hereinabove as a result of a disability must contact County Administration, at
(352)793-0200, not less than forty-eight (48) hours before a hearing or meeting in ,
order to make arrangements.

Roberts said that the county
was paying $4.50 per square

Wildwood.
"What would we negotiate,"
Chandler asked. "They're
offering more than average
now."
Commissioner Randy Mask,
who seconded Roberts'
motion, provided a somewhat
different view of the lease.
"We're not just renting to

Hospice of Lake and

It provides medical, nurs-

Disasters happen anytime
and anywhere. "Is your family

When a disaster strikes, you
may not have much time to
respond, Maddox said. After a
disaster, local officials and
relief workers will be on the
scene, but they cannot reach
everyone immediately. You
could get help in hours or you
might have to wait for days. By
following some of these sug-
gestions and establishing 'a

Kidshealth.org has some
basic advice about how to pre-
pare for your first day of
school. Get plenty of sleep, eat
a healthy breakfast, and pack
your backpack the night
before, so you won't have to
worry about in the morning.
For study time, the National
Education Association sug-
gests having a regular place
designated for homework, be
it a desk in the bedroom or at
a dining table. Wherever is
best, there should be ade-
quate school supplies (paper,
pencils, dictionary), have
good lighting, and be free of
distractions.
Also, having a routine with
a set time every day for home-
work works best.

Wildwood teen headed


for Holland to 'Play Ball'


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

Matthew Rollerson has
been playing baseball since
he was four years old. Now, at
age 15, the Wildwood teen's
love of the game and his dedi-
cation to it are taking him
around the world to play on a
United States team in
Holland.
And yet, with his love of the
game, his stint with a World
Series all-stars team in recent
years and his current all-star
challenge, taking him as far as
Tennessee, he said the thing
that would surprise some peo-
ple about him is that he plays
baseball at all.
'"A lot of people don't know I
play baseball."
But even if friends don't
know he plays, somebody
does, because Rollerson had
to be nominated by a govern-
ment official to even be con-
sidered for the trip to Holland
and his participation in the
Youth Friendship Games.
Ironically, his mother Pam
Bivens is in politics and said
she doesn't know who nomi-
nated her son.
"No idea. None at all," said
the Wildwood city commis-
sioner.,
Rollerson's dad is William
Rollerson and he has one
younger sister, 10-year-old
Bethany.

presentations on what he
learns about the country. He
also has to interview three dif-
ferent athletes from three dif-
ferent countries.
A Wildwood High School
sophomore, his mom said he's
comfortable with friends and
loves to play sports, but he's
also a little shy.
"When they're with their;
group they can just go on and
on," she said with a laugh.
He'll be gone from July 2 to
Aug. 1 and while she's proud
of her son and excited for him,
she's also a little concerned.
Especially with,
"Everything that's been going
on in the world."
As for Rollerson, he hopes
to one day earn a scholarship
in baseball and is considering
a career in pharmacy. It's
something that caught his
interest at a career day in
school.
He works hardest on his
throwing and counts hitting as
a strength.
He credits his mom with his
interest in baseball, saying
that she signed him up for T-
ball years ago.
But, "It wasn't like she made
me play, I wanted to play,", he
said.
And while he's honed his
skills on the field, he's also;
shared what he's learned with
others in how to play.
One of the most important
things he's learned in the;
game is, "Don't get upset, the:
first mistake never kills you,
it's always the second one."

and two adults on a quest to
Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where
they sought improvement in
their shooting skills as well as
development of some personal
character traits through a

through Dallas/Fort Worth
Area in Texas. Finally, at 6:37
p.m. CDT, July 5, they reached
their destination, Fort Sill
Army Artillery Base in
Oklahoma. Cadets and coaches
stayed in opened bay barracks
with two rows of bunks divided
by lockers separating the
shooters area from the coach-
es' area.
The routine for', the week
consisted of getting up by 6 a.m.
and heading for breakfast at
6:30 a.m. at the base chow hall.
CMP instructional activities

a two-part format; class time
and range time. During class

in great detail. Then there was
range time where the team got

each position. On July 9, after
lunch and saying their good-
byes, the team packed up and
headed back to Florida, with
an overnight stay in, a hurriF
cane shelter at Naval Aif
Station Meridian Mississippi.

dinner during the evenings and

SWant your own cattle ranch?


Bay Adams, Haley Neese and Les Neese are shown (left to right) with Smokey the Bear in the
background and their Certified Forest Stewardship plaques in the foreground. The Florida Fish
;and Wildlife Commission and the Florida Department of Forestry sponsor the program and
"added four families to their list of land stewards this year. Landowners with 25 or more acres
.can direct their land to timber, cattle or wildlife by following through with agency suggestions.
*For more information about the program or to schedule a time for specialists to evaluate your
'property, call Adams at 793-2431.


Would you like to see more,
wildlife on your farm?
Or maybe you'd like some
money from big timber.
It doesn't matter which of
the three you choose, if you've
got 25 acres or more, the
Florida Division of Forestry
will be glad to give you a little
direction toward making it
happen.
Thanks to the Certified
Forest Stewardship program,
County Forester Ray Adams
can drop by with other spe-
cialists and provide you with
information and tips.
The Division of Forestry
and the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation
Commission implemented the
program in Sumter County at
the Seven Springs Ranch in
1996. This year, four landown-
ers were added to the mem-
bership.


That list includes the Neese
family with 35 .acres and
Adams himself, who owns 40
acres. He had already started
the process before he became
a forester.
Adams said they take a look
at property, evaluate what
needs to done to the specific
location and share it with the
landowner.
For example, he was seek-
ing the wildlife stewardship.
The work that needed to be
done at his place included
widening the roads and open-
ing the woods for wildlife.
"Deer and turkey like open'
areas," he said.
He said most people are
already doing what needs to
be done. It's just a matter of
evaluating.
Neese had very little to do,
Adams said.
To evaluate the properties,


they often rely on a biologist
from the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation.
Cattle landowners would
also gain benefit of the
Sumter County Extension
Office and for those who look
to. steward aesthetics or recre-
ation, assistance is available
there too.
Adams' neighbor, Trish
Cheston, is working toward a
stewardship, but last years'
hurricane season slowed
down the plans and delayed
her certification.
In the case of a landowner
seeking a timber stewardship,
the recommendation might be
to clear land and plant pines.
Adams said the forestry
department suggests pines
because of the dollar value.
For an assessment or for
more information, contact
Adams at 793-2431.

The team and coaches alike
are both obviously excited
about the prospect of being the
southeastern champions. They
will be competing against top
teams from southern states
stretching from Virginia all
the way south and west to
Texas in the World Series,
game in Muscle Shoals, Ala.
"The community has been
so supportive," Upshaw said.
"Even after we left (to go to the
state championship game) we
had people calling up to see if
we had enough money."


The prospect of winning the
series is inspiring but Upshaw
had a cool and level head
about the upcoming game and
the idea of winning. "We need
to build our defense up. If we
can get that improved, we'll
have a good shot"
It took the Dixie Boys a few
days to realize
that they were

And now with the realiza-
tion that they indeed are going
to the coveted World Series
game, the Sumter County
Dixie Boys are ready to prac-
tice, work hard and hopefully
go to Muscle Shoals to be the
Southeast's champions.
The team is expected to
arrive in Alabama early next
week, Their first game in the
World Series is scheduled for
next Thursday.

Katywould be wonderful compaonhorse



Katy would be a wonderful companion horse


Katy is 24 years old and
would be a wonderful com-
panion horse.
Because of her past neglect,
Katy has had dental problems.
When the Humane
Society/SPCA of Sumter
County rescued Katy, they had
much dental work done on
her. Now she just needs regu-
lar maintenance. Through all
that Katy has endured, she
remains very sweet natured
and affectionate. If you can
give Katy the loving forever
home she deserves, call the
Humane Society/SPCA of
Sumter County at 793-9117
and leave your name, address,
and phone number. Or you
can e-mail us at:
humane@sum. net.
Now you can visit our web
site much easier, thanks to
Hawkspoint Design of
Webster We have sinmplili'ed
our web address -to:
www.hsspca.org. Visit us on
line to see all of our adorable
animals.
Coming Friday,-Aug. 5, and
Saturday, Aug. 6, is an "Estate
Sale" with all proceeds bene-
fiting the Humane
Society/SPCA. Great deals can


be made on furniture, house-
hold items, books, clothes, col-
lectibles, and much more. The
Estate Sale will be held on
Wall Street in Bushnell
(across the street from Centre
Bank, formerly Community
National Bank), from 9 a.m. to
2 p.m. Don't miss out on this!
July has been unbearable
hot, and I am sure August will
be the same. Your horse's wel-
fare is your responsibility. Be
sure she is kept comfortable,
fed a good quality food, and
supplied with plenty of clean
water. West Nile Virus is
prevalent this time of year, so
your horses vaccinations
should be up to date. Keep
insect repellent on hand to
keep your horse free from
annoying' flying insects.
Regular visits from the ferrier
will prevent hoof problems.
And routine dental work will
a-.stre a healthy horse.
Driving past picturesque
horse farms, one gets the
impression of peaceful beau-
ty. Looking out of your window
watching horses graze can be
very serene. But don't be
fooled. Much time and care is
needed to keep horses.


It~




Katy has endured, she remains very sweet natured and affec-
tionate.


Attention must be given to
repairing fencing, cleaning
barns and stalls, etc. If you
adopt a horse, understand the
responsibility that goes with
it.


Your horse depends on you
for her health and well being..
The regal and beautiful horse
deserves not only our affec-
tion, but the best care we can
offer.

1976 Wildwood homecoming queen authors book


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

Ever wondered about sim-
ple life on the farm?
Or do you actually have
some warm memories your-
self?
Either way, you may want to
check out Lil Fannie's Farm -
a brand new book by author
Monica Farmer.
A 1976 homecoming queen
for. Wildwood High School,
Farmer left Sumter for work
in public health and social
services and managed to cre-
ate a kid's book along the way.
The promotion for Farmer's
book cites it as an invitation to
visit Lil on her farm, where
readers get to meet her family
and animal friends.
It's a place where Fannie
embarks on daily adventures
and shares her stories to cap-
ture "the attention and hearts
of readers of all ages."
From the book: "Miss Nosey
Mae the Hen likes to listen to
us when we talk in the
kitchen. Sometimes she will
walk onto the back porch and
look through the screened
door to see what we are doing.
This is why we call her Miss
Nosey Mae."
Farmer has worked in
social services for the past 20
years and finished her book
with publication this year.
"I was in North Carolina,
traveling,"' Farmer said,
explaining that she began to


Monica Farmer
share the stories of her life
with her colleague as they
were driving along the coun-
tryside.
He thoroughly enjoyed the
stories and told her she
should write them down.
She eventually decided to
take his advice and put the
text together.
"Then I looked around for
illustrators."
You need "someone who
has the same chemistry as you
do," she said, of putting the
book together.
She met her illustrator and
'her illustrator's children -
after all, they would be the
ones to critique the images
since the book is for young
children.
The images were created
based on Farmer's family and
the animals that really were
on their farm.
"Lil Fannie is actually me,"
she said.
And while she did have the
illustrator create the animals


from similar animals that
were on their family farm, the
characteristics of those ani-
mals and the experiences are
based on people from her
community.
As for completing the book,
"I feel a sense of accomplish-
ment because never in my
wildest dreams did I think
that I would publish a chil-
dren's book. The thought just
never crossed my mind."
It was a five-year' project
from idea to completion, she
said.
"The text was easy."
The fact that she's worked
with kids for years helped her
put the story together She.
was well aware of what chil-
dren would say at certain
ages.
Looking back at her years as
a student at Wildwood High
School, she notes that's.where
she gathered the foundations
that led to other opportuni-
ties.
I appreciate all of the
assistance, time and effort
each of my teachers provid-
ed."
She went on to college from
high school.
"I graduated from under-
graduate school at the
University of Florida in 1980.
I graduated from graduate
school. at Mississippi State
University in 1984.".
She cites many .people as
inspirations in her life, but "I
have to first give honor to God
and then my parents, the late


Chester and Dorothy Farmer."
She said gained wisdom
from them her mother was
40 and her dad 54 when she
was born. She wasn't allowed
to do many of the things her
peers were
allowed to do,
because her
parents were
older and
they kept her
close, she
said.
And yet, in
many ways,
she feels she
matured
much faster.
"I learned a
lot about life.
About how to
treat people."
She was
able to cook
an entire fam- ,: .
ily meal from
the time she was 10, she said.
She also had some respon-
sibility for her sister from the
time she was nine.
She said she learned about,
life and about giving of one's
self.
In the book she focuses on
the fun times and the ffun that
can be had during simple
times.
She believes children can
get really excited about even
the simplest things in life.
As for her success in getting
the book done, she said, "It's a
major accomplishment -a
major accomplishment. I feel


really good." \
And she sees the most mem-
orable moments in' her life as
the times she spent with her
family.
"Especially my sister,
Mary."
As for her
work with
public servic-
es, she said.
"My interest
and experi-
ence in work-
ing with chil-
dren has
always been
very dear to
my heart.
Writing this
children's
books a trib-
S ute to the
child within
each of us."
She sees
the impor-
tance of the book in the need
for parents and children to
read together early so that
children will eager to learn
and read throughout their
lifetime.
She hopes to be an inspira-
tion to others to search within
themselves and develop their
hidden talents.
She said it's not just for
celebrities to write their sto-
ries.
"I hope to encourage others
to write their own stories and
share with others. The world
is just waiting to read your
story!"


And it's not about making a
lot of money, she added, but
about sharing experiences.
At 46, she has her own phi-
losophy in her work to "Never
allow myself to be limited by
my fears and the fears of oth-
ers. We all have our own path
to follow on this journey
through life. I make sure that
I keep my eye on my pur-
pose."
These ,days she lives in
Atlanta, Ga., but remains
close to her sister Mary
Farmer, who resides in Ocala.
Over the years she said
she's always held to some-
thing her fifth-grade reading
teacher told her class one day.
She said that teacher, Willie
Mae Mobley-Dorsey, told
them that the average person
only uses 30 percent of their
brain.
"Through the years, I would
see Mrs. Dorsey and tell her
that I believed that I had used
my 30 percent plus and she
would always say,
"Remember there is still
more room."
"Throughout the years I
have learned that our brain
has a huge capacity for infor-
mation storage. Learning
does not stop because we fin-
ish high school or college, it
continues throughout our life-
time."

Answers are just a phone call away: DCF opens call center


As the early childhood
work force ramps up for vol'
untary pre-kindergarten this
fall, many teachers, and
providers have questions
about the state's require-
ments for training.
On July 1, the Children's
Forum, under contract with
the Department of Children
and Families (DCF), will
open the Child Care Training
Information Center (CCTIC).
The call center will serve
as the information and tech-


nical assistance unit.
"Ensuring that children
have high quality early learn-
ing opportunities begins with
the teacher," says Phyllis
Kalifeh, president and CEO
of the Children's Forum.
"By helping educators
understand state and local
training requirements and
helping them locate the
training they need, we
improve outcomes for chil-
dren."
The CCTIC toll-free line is


888-FL-CCTIC (888-35-22842).
Call center specialists will
answer calls Monday to
Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
(EST) and will be able to
accommodate English,
Spanish, and Creole-speak-
ing callers.
Early childhood teachers
and providers can call the
center to find'out what train-
ing is necessary, articulation
of previously earned college
credits, and how to access
local training courses and


competency exams.
Because state-mandated
introductory courses provide
fundamental information on
child development, health
and safety and classroom
practices, these courses
serve as an early childhood
professional's first educa-
tional experience in working
with young children.
The ease with which they
can access information on
the training requirements
sets the tone for entrance


into the field.
"It is the goal of the
Department of Children and
Families to support the field
of early childhood education
by creating a system that is
easy to access and find
answers," says Deborah
Russo, director of childcare
services for DCE
"Through our Web site
(www.myflorida.com/child-
care) and the CCTIC, educa-
tors and providers can find
information quickly so they


can get back to what matters
most working with chil-
dren."
Since March, the
Children's Forum has been
preparing for the launch for
the call center
CCTIC staff was hired dur-
ing May and June.
They have been training
with DCF to make certain
that when the phone rings for
the first time, the team is well
prepared to handle any ques-
tion.

Having lunch with some fellow GFC retirees


S- ome of the most memo-
rable and enjoyable
{ NJyears of my life were
-'back during the
"time I was
'.employed as a
I'game warden with
-the old Florida
Game and Fresh g
frWater Fish
? Commission.
" Soon after I got
-.out of the Army, I
twas very fortunate
- to be employed by
'the GFC as one of
:'the youngest offi- JAMIE
"cers the GFC had AMOudoo
Lever hired. Before -
nmy time, most of the
';men the GFC hired
as game wardens were men
(who were in at least their mid-
i forties and some even much
bolder.
9 Well, when the GFC started


this trend of bringing on a
bunch of younger men a few of
the old timers did not think
too much of the idea
and some even tried
to hard-time us
young guns.
The only problem
was most of us
young men were in
our early twenties (I
had just turned 22)
and night owls and
had a lot more get
up and go than the
older officer. So,
either the older offi-
ADAMS cers had to eventu-
- Writer ally accept us or
ride a slow train try-
ing to catch up.
Actually, it did not take too
long before all of us were
working closely as a unified
team. In fact, once the older
officers got to know and


accepted us, they eventually
took us under their wings and
with their long time experi-
ence they helped make good
'officer out of us.
Anyway, many of those old
timers have passed on but
they left a legacy that made
the GFC one of the finest law
enforcement agencies in the
world. I had the distinct privi-
lege of being a small part of
this agency for 17 years and I
am here to tell you in no
uncertain terms that some of
the finest people I have ever
met wore the green uniforms
of the GFC.
The other day I went over to
Mt. Dora and joined a bunch
of the old timers for lunch.
Each month this, group, and
any other retired GFC
employee or spouse, get
together for a couple of hour's
fellowshipping and remising


about the way things used to
be and how much fun they
used to have working for the
commission.
Tom Croft, one of my long
time friends and fellow game
wardens, has been attending
the lunch for years and had
been after me to come over
and join them. Well, the last
time I saw him I promised I
would try and make the next
gathering and I did.
When I got there, several
old friends had shown up that
I had not seen for a while and
folks, I thoroughly enjoyed my
visit with them.
Rex Land was there and is
now in his mid-seventies and
has been retired for several
years. He is fully enjoying his
retirement hunting and fish-
ing. Rex comes from the same
part of north Florida I do and
he and I, as well as many of


the retirees at the lunch, have
much in common. Most of us
are Florida Crackers and most
of us have seen some rough
times but thankfully many
more good times than bad.
We had to laugh about how
we managed to get by on the
meager salary we made in the
early days we worked with
commission. Most of us started
out somewhere around $300 a
month and I believe Rex said
he started out even less than
that.
Young folks nowadays can't
comprehend that our genera-
tion managed to raise families
on this meager amount of
money. Back then we even
paid our retirement fee,
income tax and Social
Security out of our paychecks
before we even thought about
making .a car payment or
house rent not to mention


buying groceries.
However, we all managed to
get by and I believe for my
part Shug and I did just about
anything we wanted to do and
I don't remember having ever
missed a meal. On the other
hand, material things did not
cost near what they do today
that's for sure.
Along with Rex there were a
bunch of other friends at the
lunch including Ed Zagar,
Louie Prevatt, Joe Crompton
and Mike Guy, and as I men-
tioned, Tom Croft and his love-
ly wife Carlene.
I had a good time and if
nothing happens I will be
attending a lot more of the get
together on down the road.
Good friends and good times
mixed together are about as
good as it gets as far as I am
concerned. The world needs a
lot more of it.


130 Hobby Stocks enter with 24 making the show


KIM BOLLINGER
Special to the Times


Herb Neumann Jr.'s domina-
ition in the Late Model division
Saturday night at Citrus
SiCounty Speedway meant more
ethan an $1,800 payday. The for-
mer Late Model point champi-
on also took over the No. 1 spot
on the division's point list after
collecting double points in the
50-lap Late Model race.
Neumann earned the pole
after qualifying ninth of 20 cars
?due to the inversion pill picked


by fast qualifier Mike Bell. And
right from the start it was
Neumann leading the way, all
the way to the checkered flag.
Chris Hooker was unable to
reel in the powerful No. 98
machine driven by Neumann
and had to settle for a second
place finish over Gary Grubbs,
Jim Smith and Tuffy Hester.
While the Late Model field
has proven to be a crowd-
puller, it was the Hobby Stock
division that kept the attention
of most.
Thirty Hobby Stocks entered
into the night's action with 24
making the big show.


The outside lane proved to
be the fastest way to the front
and, when it was over, Herb
Hoefler was in victory lane for
the first time this season. John
Zuidema, Tim Anderson,
points leader Bill Ryan, and
James Batson finished out the
top five, respectively.
Noticeably absent were
three of the divisions top driv-
ers.
Corky -Miley, Tommy'Smith
and his brother Richie Smith
were all suspended indefinite-
ly for their actions at the con-
clusion of the Hobby Stock 50
over a week ago now.


It is unfortunate that things
escalated to the point that they
are no longer able to compete
at the Inverness racetrack.
I'm sure not everyone will
agree, but they are all very tal-
ented drivers.
Aggressive at times? Yes.
Temperamental? Definitely.
But very talented, nonetheless.
As expected, their absence
has already impacted the
Hobby Stock division, both
good and bad.
Their departure opened the
lane for at least two drivers
that have had problems getting
into the A-main in past events


who finally make it to the big
show. There were even a few
new drivers entered on the
night's 30-car entry list.
For spectators, there was a
lot of action to keep track of
With the divisions top competi-
tors spread out throughout the
field.
At the end of the race there
were new cars in the bullpen
for the mandatory post-race
technical inspection, as well as
a new driver in the winner's
circle.
And that's all good for the
division as a whole.
On the downside, instead of


seeing six or seven drivers
maneuvering through a full
field of drivers, there were only
three or four who had to find
their way through the 24-car
starting field to get to the front
And that's a great loss.
Under the "House of Pain"
label they have branded for
themselves, Miley and the
Smith's have created a reputa-
tion that seems to follow them
wherever they go.
You either love them or hate
them, but either way you won't
be .seeing them at Citrus
County Speedway for some
time to come.
