Commission proposes property tax cut


STAFF REPORT

County commissioners are
proposing the largest property
tax cut in Sumter's history
Following a week of county
department budget reviews,
commissioners ended their.
workshop meetings and set a
proposed property tax levy of
8.7 mills. (One mill is equal.to
$1 in taxes on each $1,000 of
assessed taxable property


value).
If approved during budget
public hearings in September,
the new tax rate would be
effective during the county fis-
cal year that begins Oct. 1,
2005 and ends Sept. 30, 2006.
The public hearings have
been set for 6 p.m. on Monday,
Sept. 12, and 6 p.m. Monday,
Sept. 26, in County
Commission Chambers on the
second floor of the courthouse
in Bushnell.


The proposed millage rate
came as the final word during
an hours-long property tax
rate discussion last Thursday
with commissioners agreeing
to drop the millage rate from
the current rate of 9.2 mills to
8.7 mills.
For instance, if the assessed
value of a home is $125,000
and the homeowner claims a
$25,000 homestead exemp-
tion, the savings next year
compared to this year's tax.


payment will be $50.
Vice Chairman Jim Roberts,
Bushnell, said this is the third
time the millage rate has been
cut in six years.
"That is significant,"
Roberts said of the lowered
tax rate. He also said with this
rate, Sumter will have the
largest reduction in village
compared to surrounding
counties.
Although all commissioners
expressed a desire to lower


the property tax levy, they dif-
fered on exactly how much
lower it should be.
Commissioners Dick
Hoffman and Michael
Frances, both of The Villages,
argued for an even lower tax
rate of 8 mills.
" They said even at that rate,
the county would still be get-
ting 23 percent more in taxes
than the previous year.
"We should not be taking
more than we need," Francis


cautioned other commission-
ers.
But Roberts said the com-
mission should "move cau-
tiously on the millage rate,"
and that it would probably go
down again next year.
"The millage rate will
impact grants.. .that our budget
depends on," as well as state
funding, he said. "I do not

,regulations


BOB REICHMAN
Editor,

The County Commission
next week will consider
adopting land development
regulations for Class 1 land-
fills.
Commissioners will con-
sider the regulations in an
ordinance that will be dis-
cussed by the board at 6:15
p.m. on Tuesday. Aug. 9, in
County Commission cham-
bers on the second floor of
the courthouse.
The proposed ordinance
has been in the works for
more than a year now.
Commissioners agreed to
develop a list of regulations
following the submission of a
controversial plan in 2003 to
construct a new landfill near
Center Hill.
The proposal establishes
how landfills can operate
and what requirements must
be met.

Walsh was convicted of
third-degree murder in
February 2004, after a jury
found him guilty of the
February 2003 shooting death
of 5-year-old Marishka Lovett.
He faced a minimum sen-
tence of 25 years in prison.
But last August, Circutit
Judge Hale Stancil granted
Walsh a new trial. In a 25-page
explanation. Stancil said mis-
statements of law and evi-
dence were made during the
trial, issues were not fully

Walsh was arrested follow-
ing a fatal confrontation that
occurred about 10 p.m. on
Saturday. Feb. 1. 2003. after
two parties were engaged in a
road rage incident, according
to court records. Joshua
Walsh was not involved until
the end and the shooting
occurred.
Tyrone Lovett, 30; driving a
gold-colored Ford Escort, was
reportedly cut off by a silver-
colored Pontiac Firebird in
which Walsh's brother,
Jeremiah Walsh, and brother-
in-law, Wesley Parker, were
traveling.
Defense Attorney Michael
Graves said in his opening
statement on Monday that a
heated chase ensued, and led
the two vehicles from
Wildwood on State Road 44,
through "the highways and
byways" all the way to,
Fruitland Park, during which
time the Escort pursued the
Firebird, the driver flashing
its lights.
Graves said it wasn't until
the vehicles reached
Leesburg that Jeremiah
Walsh called his brother
Joshua on his cellular tele-
phone, "hysterical and fran-
tic" for help.
Then, on County Road 466-

For a week, two classrooms

food choices and getting
along with their peers.

The defense planned to
argue that Joshua Walsh
acted in the defense of
Parker after Lovett allegedly
tried to run Parker down
with his car.
"This is a case about
defending your brother and
brother-in-law from harm,"
Graves said.
Prosecuting the case is
State Attorney Brad King,
who said there was "enough
stupidity to go around for
everyone" in this case, and
that the only two people.
without control-in the matter
were the two victims.
King said during opening
statements the facts would
show that Joshua Walsh did
,not intend to kill Marishka
Lovett, but that "transferred
intent" would apply, meaning
that if Walsh intended to kill
Tyrone Lovett but killed
Marishka instead, there
would be equal pu nishment.
He said Walsh fired into
the vehicle in a "wanton and
malicious manner."
Following the incident,
Lovett was charged with cul-
pable negligence for his
involvement in the matter.
The Sumter County Grand.
Jury that indicted him had a
range of charges to consider:
for Lovett, from felony mur-
derto aggravated child abuse
to not being charged.
He was sentenced to six
months' probation.

want to make a mistake
where we're all of a sudden
running at a deficit"
Traditionally, smaller coun-
ties like Sumter, with higher
millage rates, have qualified
for special state grants and
funding to help offset the lack
of revenue these counties
receive from property taxes.
Chairman Joey Chandler,
Lake Panasoffkee, argued for
a rate of 9 mills but later said
he would support the 8.7 rate.
A portion of the discussion
involved funding construc-
tion for new county buildings
that are being planned, and
some commissioners voiced
concerns that if the millage
rate were too low, there might
not be enough funds ava ilable
to pay forthe buildings.
"I don't want to cut the mill-
age rate and then have to bor-
row money next year,"
Chandler said. District 5
Commissioner Randy Mask
also said he would not sup-
port a rate of less than 8.7.

Sumter school reading scores improve


AMANDA MIMS
'Staff Writer -

The Sumter County School District
has recently learned where it stands
in the state concerning reading per-
formance and the results are encour-
aging.
The district made its way toward
the top of this year's Florida
"Department of Education lists of the
67 districts' ranking in reading per-
formance and improvements.
In a DOE press office release,
Sumter was named among the top 15


districts with the highest percentages
of its lowest performing students
making improvements in reading.
Sixty-one percent of Sumter's low-
est performing students made read-
ing improvements this year.
Sumter was also recognized in the
top 10 districts with the highest per-
centages of students making learning
gains in reading, having 62 percent
for the 2004-2005 school year., -
School Supt.: IRick Shirley said
these district scores are based on stu-
dents' performance on the statewide"
FCAT (Florida's Comprehensive


Assessment Test), which tests grades
3 through 10, and that he's pleased
with the outcome.
There is a third category on the
DOE list, which shows the numbers
of students who are proficient in
reading.
Shirley said the goal of the district
is to be on all three lists, and that's
what they're working toward.
"We're not there yet, but obviously
these scores are a reflection of the
staff, kids, parents, and teachers...that
are out there every day working to
improve," he said.


"I'm convinced the students in
Sumter County get a really good qual-
ity education."
The Sumter County School District
was one of 27 districts to receive a 'B'
grade for the 2004-2005 school year.
There were 15 districts that
received "A's," 22 received "C's" and
three received "D's."
Leading the state in reading
improvements is Orange. County, with
.65 percent its lowest performing stu-
dents making learning gains this
year.


McMillian


Officer

arrested,

suspended

McMillian accused

of allowing tobacco

into county jail

BOB REICHMAN
Editor

A Sumter County sheriff's
officer was arrested last
Thursday and placed on sus-
pension for allowing a visitor
to bring a tobacco product to
a jail inmate.
Heath McMillian, 24, was
arrested by the Sumter
County Sheriff's Office
Special Investigation Unit
for introduction of contra-
band into a correctional
facility, according to a sher-
iff's department report.
McMillian is accused of
allowing a visitor to bring
smokeless tobacco into the
jail while visiting an inmate,
according -to sheriff's Lt.
Bobby Caruthers.
McMillian was arrested
following an undercover
operation that began when
information was received
that McMillian was allowing
visitors to bring tobacco

While nobody's thrilled with
the idea of paying millions of dol-

think that working with DCF is a
good idea.

it is and explore other office

Honoring the
Stephenses
I had the honor of serving as
John L. Stephens' first FFA presi-
dent when he began his teaching
career in Bushnell in, 1957. What
Mr. and Mrs. Stephens, along with
my fellow students, started that
year grew into what became a leg-
endary program in teaching and
FFA circles throughout Florida.
There was a reason,
Bushnell/South Sumter became
and remained the best. In fact,
there were two reasons Mr. and
Mrs. Stephens. Yes, we had good
and talented students, and yes, we
had great community support. But,
it was our teacher, our coach, our
leader and his wife who put in
the extra hours, who went the extra
mile, who always set a high stan-
dard and good example for us to
follow, who took a special interest
in each of us, who did whatever it
took for us and our school to be
the best.
We \were the best because John
and Ethel Stephens were the best,
and they still are the best today. We
can't tell them "ha nk you" enough,
but we can try
Please join us in honoring and
thanking Mr. and Mrs. Stephens.
You can do it by making a contribu-
tionto the John and Ethel Stephens
Scholarship Fund. Please make
your contribution payable to "UF

tion "Stephens Scholarship" on the
check. Please- mail your tax-
deductible contribution to Sumter
County Honors John and Ethel
Stephens, PO. Box 272, Bushnell,

Our community owes Mr. and
Mrs. Stephens a debt of gratitude.
This is a great way to thank and

dents every year in the future.

TomPeterson For the Humane


Animal control
needs addressed
The county commissioners are at
budget meetings again this year. I
want to urge them to allocate funds
to upgrade the Animal Control
Department. Sumter County is rap-
idly growing and the need to
accommodate the animals in a
humane environment is also grow-
ing.
I was surprised to see the ani-
mals housed outside with no relief
from the extreme heat with only a
metal roof sheltering them from the
sun and rain. On cold winter morn-
ings the kennel is hosed down and
wed dogs (sometimes housed four
or five to a kennel) are left shiver-
ing on freezing cement
I hop you will follow the lead of
other counties such as Lake, Citrus,
Pinellas and every other county in
Florida and have a separate
attached area for the dogs to go
when cleaning the kennels for the
humane treatment of animals and
safety of personnel. The facility is
often filled to capacity and stray or
vicious animals are left to roam the
county. Supervisor John Hezlep
and his staff do their best with min-
imal funds.
I urge Commissioner Francis and
Commissioner Hoffman along with


Society of Sumter
Our commissioners need to come
out of the Good'Old Boy dark ages
and realize that there is a growing
problem in Sumter County.
We have an almost non-existent
Humane Society in Sumter County.
The county will not support the
Humane Society by providing the
proper facility needed.
We are no longer living in a time
when all of Sumter County was
fields and farms.
The Villages is putting hundreds
of thousands of dollars of tax
money into Sumter County and all
we ask for is that the proper animal
shelter be built.
With the continued building The
Villages is doing and the ever-
increasing tax money the county is
receiving we need to demand
action.
- If commissioners will not provide
the facility we need let's find
some humane caring people to
oversee our county.
Wake up, we need a new state of
the art animal shelter to provide
for this county, large enough to take
care of the present needs and
future growth.
We need it now.

M. 11 IMINIMMMU


he Rev. Richard Pratt
had called them "Pomo
sapiens," although the
academic term is postmod-
ern.
We are living in
the postmodern
era, he said, which
presupposes a
Modern era.
Pratt said
Modern thinking
is now considered
old-fashioned -
such notions as
absolute truth,
men not wearing
earrings, women A
not getting tattoos. NAN
In Modernity, sci- KENN
ence and rational
thinking governed
society. Moderns believe that
unless it can be recreated or
proven in a science lab, it
can't be.
, Postmodernity arose after
the collapse of Marxism,
which Pratt said was theoret-
ically the most rational
model for a utopian society
ever designed. However, the
designers didn't factor in
man's propensity toward sin
and 'All are created equal"
eventually became '"All are
created equal, but some are
more equal than others."
Therefore, since Marxism
failed, what good is being
rational? That's when peo-
ple's thinking began to shift
from rational to feeling/intu-
itive, or irrational: If it feels
good, do it even if it will
destroy me, even if it contra-
dicts reason, even if it only
makes sense to me (and if it
doesn't, who cares?). Today,
that's the predominant think-
ing behind what we watch on
TV, read in magazines, listen
to on our iPods.
As a generation, full-
fledged "Postmoderns" are
those 25 or younger, with
their highest value being per-
sonal autonomy: No one has
the right to impose on anoth-
er's personal choice. To true
Postmoderns, or Pomos,
everything is equal.
Christianity is the same as


vegetarianism is the same as
reincarnation is the same as
homosexuality is the same as
anarchy. Pick and choose
from whatever you like. It's
all, you know, what-
ever.
To a Pomo, the
only important
thing is what's hap-
pening now, Pratt
S. said. Just today a
.P friend told me of a
young man in his
community 'who
decided to "take a
stand against evil
corporate
ICY America," so he
IEDY burned down a
-W McDonald's. He
thought what he
was doing was a good thing
and was actually surprised
that he got arrested. Pomos
don't think of consequences.
I have a young Pomo friend
who tells me about her love
'life. As she looks for the right
man she's "seeing whoever"
in the meantime. Currently,
she's seeing three guys I'm
afraid to ask how she defines
"seeing." From what she tells
me, she lives the old Stephen
Stills song, "If you can't be
with the one you love, love
the one you're with."
Pomos believe sex with a
stranger is preferable to sex
with a friend because Pomos
highly value friendship and
sex tends to ruin friendships.
However, they also believe
you can have "friends with
benefits" (benefits meaning
sex), and that could be
friends of either gender.
They may live as strict veg-
etarians and fitness fanatics,
yet do drugs. They may
oppose abortion personally,
but be pro-choice. They may
say they are "half-Christian,
half-Buddhist"
It doesn't make sense, but it
doesn't. have to.
Engaging a Pomo in a con-
versation about the Bible is
easy., They love to hear your
faith story and will listen as
you explain all the archeo-
logical and historical data


about the death, burial and
resurrection of Jesus and
then say, "Cool. Want to go to
Starbuck's?"
However, if you suggest
they consider following Jesus
for themselves, you'll get an
altogether different
response. As Gene Edward
Veith, Jr. writes in
"Postmodern Times,"
Postmoderns' beliefs are a
function of the will, with no
foundation other than their
preferences and personality.
Because they interpret any
criticism of their beliefs as a
personal attack, they will
become defensive and some-
times angry if you try to
change their opinions.
Friends, this is our culture.
We live smack in the middle
of Pomo thinking, and past
methods of sharing our
gospel faith won't work. Time
to put away those "Four
Spiritual Laws" tracts. This
is not your grandma's evan-
gelism anymore.
So, how do we speak'to the
Pomos around us? We begin
by listening. We build rela-
tionships. We love sacrificial-
ly and extravagantly, which is
exactly what Jesus did when
he walked on earth. Then,
when we've built trust, "we
speak to their damaged
places," Pratt said, because
their lifestyle choices and
often their upbringing are
quite damaging.
It's difficult for a Pomo to
trust Jesus, but, not impossi-
ble. God continues to build
his kingdom one person at a
time, and not even the gates
of hell or postmodernism
- can prevail against it.

"How do I decide which funeral
home to call when the time comes?!'

Aside from the requirement that all funeral homes be
licensed by the state, some basic questions you might ask
when selecting a funeral home include: Are they flexible
enough to handle your specific needs? Are decisions made,
locally or from an out-of-town corporate office? Are they
full service? Do they sub-contract services such as
cremation or do they provide these options on-site?
Everyone has different priorities and questions about
funeral pre-planning. We invite your questions and we
will respect your priorities. Please call us for a no cost, no
obligation, no pressure appointment to get the facts on
how you can benefit from funeral pre-planning.

Plan today for peace of mind tomorrow!

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, TIIURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 2005, PAGE 9


Senior ADVOCATE



Lawmakers fail to


attain standards


Television newscaster
and writer Tom
Brokaw so appropri-
ately referred to the genera-
tion that preceded mine as
"The Greatest Generation."
And I unequivocal-
ly agree with
Brokaw's assess-
ment and apt
description of this
generation in his
book of the same *:;"4
title.
This generation ;"
lived or, more
accurately, sur-
vived the Great
Depression, fought D
and won World War Ro
II, and rebuilt
every tangible, as
well as indefin-
able, fiber of this great
nation, and has handed us
the keys. History will prove
that we have not even come
close to picking up the torch
through the years. Yes, we
have made some differences
with technology, medical and
otherwise, but we stand by
and watch as the physical
and moral structure of this
nation falls apart.
The infrastructures of our
cities built by the greatest
generation and their parents
are falling apart, as attested,
by the recent summer black-
out from Detroit to New
York. Although these cities
are still the hubs of commu-
nication and business, we
have abandoned them for
greener pastures.
The public educational
system is naught,.as we have
prioritized other programs
that we deem to be more suit-
able, in the name of our-
selves, which always seems
to come first. Moral decay is
the most dangerous and fast-
spreadine virus that this
nation has ever dealt with.
yet, we do little with the
fibers of morality that were
passed down to us.
Common courtesy has
become an art, as opposed to
something that should be
ordinary and authentic. Our
elected officials, both state
and federal, are nowhere as
knowledgeable or competent
as they were in past genera-
t ions.
Our priorities have
become out ofr kilter.
History \\as primarily an
oral explanation passedfrioml
one generation to the next
before printing and literacy
became prevalent. Even
after printing and its distri-
bution became part of .the
educational standard, \%e,,
writers, historians and oth-
ers who love history, have
continued to seek out previ-
ous generations for their
explanations and their


thoughts about the history of
their lives and times.
Treasure members of this
greatest generation and pro-
tect them. Their wisdom is
essential and lucid.


".

AN
HAN


The average age
of this generation
is about 80, and
many may be
somewhat mental-
ly and physically
delicate.
Therefore, to
learn that they
continue to be in
the dark with their
new prescription
drug program is
simply scandalous.
This generation
should have had a
totally cost-free


program, with no income or
asset testing. The rest of the
program should have been
offered to each succeeding
generation based upon some
type of sliding scale, and so
on. This would have been the
fair way.
However, we have an
administration that, after
nearly five years, just passed
an energy bill that includes
much pork and some beans.
This bill provided some $15
billion in tax breaks for ener-
gy-related companies. Those
that benefited were mostly
oil companies, which are
experiencing the largest
quarterly profits in their his-
tory.
This great nation could
have fueled all of our auto-
mobiles for the rest of the
summer.
This adds insult by an
administration that cares lit-
tle about this nation's indi-
gent, the uninsured
(approaching 50 million) and,
of course, the generation that
tas most beneficial to this
nation.
The House passed for the
third consecutive year a
medical malpractice resolu-
tion.
I know physicians have
many problems, and I will
write about them.
H.R. 5 is a bad law noth-
ing to do with Med-Mal, but it
would allow the same bene-
fits and protection of law to
pharmaceutical companies,
riot to mention the $250 bil-
lion gift to this industry via
the new Medicare law. Write
to both of your U.S. Senators,
and ask them to vote against
t his most unfair law.
Keep my green tea warm,
and I will talk to you next
week

ments to "Senior Advocate,"

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
County Commission
of Sumter County, Florida
to Consider Ordinance
for the Establishment of the
Lake Miona Community Development District


DATE:

TIME:

LOCATION:'


August 23, 2005

6:15 p.m.

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


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
Street, Bushnell, Florida 33513, before the County Commission of Sumter County,
Florida to consider the elements of a Petition filed by Power Corporation
("Petitioner"), to establish a community development district to be known as the Lake
Miona Community Development District ("District"), as authorized and provided for
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,
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,
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
unincorporated Sumter County, Florida. The District will comprise of 158.53 acres of
land. The boundaries of the lands proposed to be served by the District are outlined in
the map depicted in this notice. The site is located in the area bounded on the West by
rural residential land, on the East by Lake Miona and Planned Unit Development, on
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
jurisdiction of the District. The Petitioner has proposed that the District will construct
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
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
purs-uant to Chapter 190, Floriqa 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
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;
the Petitioner to the six factors listed in section 190.005(1)(e), Florida Statutes.

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
that establishment and enforcement costs to the above-described entities will b'e
modest and are concurrently budgeted or not burdensome: and, that there will be little
to no effect on state and local revenues from the establishment of the District. Further,
the SERC estimates that certain development-related transactional costs incurred
would d occur regardless of whether the District was established and are voluntarily'
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 \\ ill 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
consider and adopt the following ordinance:

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

At least 10 days prior to the above-referenced hearing, a copy of the proposed
ordinance establishing the hearing will be available for inspection by the public at the
Building and Zoning Department, 3rd Floor, Historic Coiurthouse, 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
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.
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.

Atde SPEEDWAY


Mini Stock driver Jay McKenzie had to be extricated from his No. 5x Mini Stock racecar earlier this year after broadsiding the
Turn Three wall. Assisting him were (left to right) safety workers BJ Reagan, Jay Reagan and the racetrack's director/general
manager, Don Cretty.



Focusing on auto-racing safety


Note: For years, Citrus
County fire departments han-
dled on-track safety along
with local safety crews at
Citrus County Speedway. But
withchanges made within the
fire departments.
the move to paid
firefighters, and the
lack of volunteers
and equipment
from individual fire
squads, the visual
sight ofsatet \ ork-
ers at the racetrack
has raised concerns "
by some race fans. .,
The following is
part one of a three- s
part series on the K
safety of auto rac- BOLL

W 1 h e n
NASCAR:, driver
W Ernie Irvan was crit-L
Sically injured at Michigan:
International Speedway in
1994 it brought to the fore-
front the importance of safety
personnel at racetracks
across the country.
Auto racing at the. local
level was no exception.
Citrus County Speedway
has always made safety a
high priority. From safety
procedures to safety gear,
safety personnel at CCS have
stayed on top of protecting
both drivers and fans from
injury.
"My job is to make sure
everybody understands that
safety is the top priority," sa id
Don Cretty, the racetrack's
director and general manag-
er.
In past years, local fire
departments were on site to
deal with safety issues. The
revol-ing schedule between
the fire crews kept a fresh
outlook asto safety needs. but'
led in some ways to a lack of
highly race-skilled or race-
focused safety personnel.
According to Cretty, having
county-manned fire safety on
hand was a benefit for the
racetrack, but, changes ih the
way the fire department is
currently operating, the move
to permanent-paid firefight-
ers, and the lack of volunteer
squads forced the end of the
relationship the racetrack
had with the department.
But it didn't mean the end
to safety as a priority.
"We have qualified .safety
people here at all times to
handle the situations," Cretty


said. "Safety is the top priori-
ty."
With over 120 drivers com-
peting each week, and full
fields of 20-plus cars in most
divisions, it's inevitable
something is going
to go wrong.
And. when it
does, racetrack
safety personnel
are there to assist
in the rescue if
necessary.
going to happen,"
sa i,-J ay Reagan. -
Ieagan, a 15-
year veteran fire-
EM fighter, has been
wiith the racetrack
INGER for four years and
is currently in
,charge of the race-.
track's safety response and
infield team.
"I'm there to provide first
response to anyone who gets
hurt in the' pits or the -fans
side," Reagan said. "That cov-.
ers patient assessment, first
responder needs, as well as.
all fire and extrication.
needs."
Because 'Reagan is at the
racetrack every week, he has
a better overall focus of the
safety of the drivers and the
fans. .
"We're familiar with the
people (at thie racetrack) and
with the, drivers," Reagan
said. "We know what the driv-
ers are doing, what they went
through the week before."
Along with his First
Response and Structutre
Firefighter certification,
Reagan, .also. holds special.
Race Rescue Certification.
"The training included all
types of racing including,
NASCAR, Indy, sprint, some
power boat, and all the class-
es we race," he said. "We
focused on extrications and
burns with gas and alcohol.
It's the same certification
they use for Daytona."
"The biggest'thing is being
prepared," he said. "We have
to make sure we're ready for
everything we can .think of,
and be.prepared for what we
don't."
"Safety crews have to be
very well educated about
what to do to save peoples
lives," said former NASCAR

recovery efforts could have

"That is the only reason I
am still alive," said Irvan.
At Citrus County Speedway.
being prepared is the most
important part to the safety of
fans and drivers.
SAccording to Jay Reagan,
track safety workers and offi-
cials have to be sure they are
ready for e erything they can
think o ,
Even more so, "we have to,
be prepared for what we
don't," said Jay Reagan.
Preparing the racetrack
facility for the night's event is
more than just opening the
ticket, gate and cooking the
food.
Handling the safety checks,
system checks, vehicle pre-
paredness, and organizing
the supplies needed are .a
part Reagan's responsibili-
ties at the racetrack But safe-
- ty is the most important.
, "I help make sure drivers
have the proper equipment
and help` inspect the safety
gear," Reagan said.
.To help prevent issues on
the racetrack that could
cause injury or lengthy
delays in a rescue attempt,
Reagan makes precautionary
checks of safety harnesses
and fuel cells in the racecars.
.: "I like to ride through the
pits, check on the drivers, and
see how the ones that may
have been involved in an inci-
dent in the weeks prior are
doing and how their cars are
working that night," he said.
When an accident occurs at
the racetrack. his focus turns
to the communication with
the driver, the stabilization ofr
the car, making sure there is
no fire, and patient assess-
ment.
Reagan isn't alone in his
detailed attention to safety.


"Safety has become very
important for everybody at
the track, not just myself," he
said. "Without them: a lot of
things couldn't take place."
Don Cretty, the racetrack's
general manager and race
director, requires each car go
through a safety inspection
prior to their first night on
the racetrack
From safety procedures,
belts, window nets, fire extin-
guishers and retardants,
drive shaft loops, and fuel
cells with foam or bladder
tanks, to roll cages, fire suits
gloves, fire shoes, and head-
gear, Cretty has stayed on top
of protecting both drivers and
fans from injury. -
Also a 15-year fire depart-
ment veteran, Cretty says fire
is the main concern when it
comes, to dealing with acci-
dents both on and off the
racetrack
"Fire is the worst, it's my
biggest fear," he said. "We put
fire extinguishers on every
truck and two at the pit exit."
"You're in a shear state of
panic the instant a fire breaks
out," said Hobby Stock driver
Tim Whitehead. "You're
thinking, what am I doing,
what do I do now? (In the
panic) you forget where
everything is."
According to Mini Stock
driver Mark Sowell, being
trapped in a fire is the worst
- pain you could go through.
Jay McKenzie realized the
safety factor involved in rac-
ing first hand when his No. 5x
racecar broadsided the Turn
3 wall earlier this season.
"Fire, getting' knocked out,
it's the fear of having to rely
on someone else," McKenzie
said. 'Jay and the other offi-
cials were right there when I
had my accident. I was up
against the Wall and knocked
out. All I remember was look-
ing up and seeing Jay, (James)
Batson, and the officials right,
there trying to get me out."

Although not as heavy as earlier showers, the rain came

Sumter Dixie Boys at World Series


Brady

Hawkins P


PREPARING TO PLAY


STEVEN AYERS
Times Correspondent

The state runner-up Sumter
Dixie Boys are preparing to
compete in the first game of the
Southeastern championships in
IMuscle Shoals. Ala. today
(Thursday, Aug 4)
The team, based in Bushnell,
has advanced past the state
level to quality to compete in the
Southeastern World Series
games.
"They have a lot ofrespect for,
the game," said Brian Simmons,
head coach. "'They really
believe they can win."
Asked if he believes any other
states champions will pose a
threat to the Dixie Boys' hopeful
victory, Simmons said, "You
have to feel like all the competi-
tors are good...so we practiced to
that caliber."
Teams they will be competing
against are both state champi-
ons and runners up from
Virginia to Texas, across
Tennessee, Georgia and
Alabama.


It's a daunting task, competing
against two teams each from all
the southern states but Coaches
Simmons. Travis Upshaw and
Ronnie Hawkins are optimistic
in the hopes of beating out the
other states and bringing the
title back to Sumter County
Their first game is against
South Carolina at 11 a.m. and
then another game against
Tennessee at 6 p.m. on a gruel-
ing two-game-a day schedule.
Friday the team will hopefully
be playing Alabama at 11 a.m.
The competing teams- will be
eliminated after two losses.
In the meantime, just getting
to the World Series games has
been a task,
During the past few weeks.
team supporters have been busy
developing fundraisers to help
finance the teams' trip to
Alabama.
But thankfully, the Sumter
County community has been
enormously supportive to their
winning team, Simmons said.
He said many supporters con-
tributed to the cause.

SVetera VOICE


Negotiators agree to $1.5 billion more for veterans


DAN BAKER
CCVSP Manager

Senate and House negotia-
tors working the Interior
Appropriations bill have
agreed to the $1.5 billion num-
ber adopted by the Senate sev-
eral weeks ago to cover a budg-
et shortfall in the Department
of Veterans Affairs health care
budget for 2005. Sen. Larry
Craig, who sponsored the $1.5
billion amendment, was a
member'of the Senate negoti-
ating team that reached agree-
ment with the House.
"This is good news for veter-
ans. It sends a strong signal


that their health care needs
will be met this year and next,"
said Craig, who serves as
chairman of the Senate
Committee on Veterans'
Affairs.
A final vote on the Interior
bill will occur before Congress
adjourns for the August recess.
The fiscal year ends Sept 30.
"I'm glad that we have seen
veterans through on this one,"
Craig said. "The effort to final-
ize the funding for the VA's
2005 has been a long one."
On June 28, the U.S. Senate
Committee on Veterans'
Affairs held a hearing at which
VA Secretary Jim Nicholson
testified that VA needed


"approximately $1.5 billion."
Two days later, the Senate
voted for Craig's amendment
to add $1.5 billion to the
Interior Appropriations bill
for veterans.
The same day the Senate
took that action, the House of
Representatives approved, a
stand-alone bill, which would
have granted the VA $975 mil-
lion for the remainder of 2005.
The Senate adjourned for the
4th of July recess without tak-
ing up the legislation passed
by the House.
On July 12, the Senate
passed another amendment -
this one to the Homeland
Security bill, which would


have also added $1.5 billion
for the VA
The vote was 96-0.
A short time later, Veterans
Administration officials indi-
cated that the agency needed
an additional $2.952 billion in
money for the end of 2005 and
2006.
"The confusion over the
numbers has now come to a
close.. $1.5 billion is it for
2005," Craig said. "The
remainder of the administra-
tion's request will be part of
the 2006 budget."
The addition of $1.5 billion
brings the total for VA's health
care budget for 2005 to over
$28 billion.

Board adopts tentative

village rate, budget


At its June 20 meeting, the
Southwest Florida Water
Management District's
Withlacoochee River Basin
Board adopted a tentative fis-
cal year 2006 (FY2006) mill-
age rate of 0.265 mill, which is
the same as the current fiscal
year.
The tentative budget for
FY2006 is $7,604,321, which is
a decrease of $3,708,017 from
the approved FY2005 budget.
The main reason for this
major budget decrease is
because the District received
a $4,320,000 state appropria-
tion for the Lake Panasoffkee
Restoration Project in
FY2005 compared to a
$450,000 appropriation in
FY2006, which is a reduction
in almost $4 million. FY2006
will run from Oct. 1, 2005,
through Sept. 30, 2006.
The Withlacoochee River
Basin Board's tentative
FY2006 budget includes
Cooperative Funding proj-
ects. These projects are pro-
posed by local governments,
and usually equally funded by


the Basin Board and the local
cooperator. The Basin
Board's tentative budget also
includes $2,967,784 for basin
initiatives, including the Lake
Panasoffkee Restoration
Project.
The Lake Panasoffkee
Restoration Project is a four-
step project to remove sedi-
ment and emergent vegeta-
tion to restore fish habitat
and the historic shoreline.
The District is currently
implementing Steps 2 and 3 of
the project, which represents
the full-scale in lake restora-
tion component of the plan.
The dredging of Steps 2 and
3 is a multi-year project cost-
ing $22,627,895. The
Withlacoochee River Basin
Board has tentatively budget-
ed $1,450,940 for this project
in FY2006.
This amount represents a
$450,000 state appropriation
and a $1 million Florida Fish
and Wildlife grant for the
Lake Panasoffkee
Restoration Project in
FY2006.

On th road withhunting e xpositiS ons, seminars


On the road with hunting expositions, seminars


S his is the time of the
| year that I find myself
!' on the road a lot
attending and helping con-
duct hunting seminars all
over the state pro-
moting "Primos
Hunting Calls" and
I have just
returned home ||
after attending S
both the "Big Buck
Expo" in Lakeland
and the annual
"Fall Hunting
Classic" held each
year at the Bass
Pro Shop in Fort
Lauderdale.
While at the JAMuIE
shows I checked Outdo
out a lot of innova-
tive new hunting
equipment on display and for
sale as well as demonstrating
several of the "Primos" line
of deer calls namely a couple
of my all time favorites the
old reliable "Hardwood
Grunter" and' the "Original
Can."
Both of these calls are
proven winners and both are
as good as it gets when it
comes to deer calls.
One of the big issues this
year that is a serious and
major concern is hunter safe-
ty.
The Florida Fish and
Wildlife Commission have


II
m


been at the forefront for
years urging hunters to hunt
safely. At all of the events I
have attended, the FWC was
well represented and on the
job passing along
helpful safe. hunt-
ing hints and hunt-
ing information.
If you had: to
guess, you might
figure that most
hunters are
injured from a gun-
shot wound.
However, I was
shocked to learn
that gunshot acci-
ADAMS dents are not even
WritADAMSer in the top five caus-
rWt es relating to
S major hunting
accidents.
The main cause for hunting
accidents is falling out of tree
stands. Falls from a tree
stand can be deadly and in
far too many tragic cases
careless hunters have been
crippled for life by not fol-
lowing the common sense
safety rules while using their
tree stands.
Tree stand hunting is one
of the most effective methods
of hunting and just about all
of the native species of wild
game found in the USA can
be taken from a tree stand
and if done right can also be
one of the safest methods of


hunting.
The number one safety
rule that must never be bro-
ken under any circumstance
whatsoever is to never per-
sonally or allow anyone else
to climb a tree to hunt from
without using a quality safety
device. The risks and danger
is too great and even the.
biggest trophy buck in the
woods is not worth getting
messed up for life or losing
your life.
While at the Lakeland Big
Buck Expo I got to check out
a new product that has just
come on the market that real-
ly got ,my attention with
regards to tree stand hunting.
I do most of my deer hunting
while using climbing tree
stand and I always use a safe-
ty harness.
With regards to a tree stand
safety harness or strap I had
never seen or used one for
that matter that I really felt
comfortable with while actu-


ally hunting from a tree stand
until I met Jim Barta, vice
president of Hunter Safety
Systems and checked out the
one his company has devel-
oped.
Actually I was introducing
to Jim by a long-time friend
and bow hunting buddy,
David Langston, from up
Georgia way.
David is working for Jim's
company as a marketing
director and he wanted me to
check out their new Hunter
Safety System developed for
tree stand hunters and I am
glad I took the time to check
their new safety system out
thoroughly.
Folks, finally I can tell you
all that there is a good safety
system on the market that is
actually comfortable and
easy to put on and wear while
at the same time is not be so
bulky that it will burn you up
on the warm autumn days we
so often have to endure while


trying to hunt during the
early deer season.
Most of the safety vests I
have seen and used over the
years are as a rule effective
but are at the best rather
unpleasant to wear. That has
now changed with the inno-
vative "Hunter Safety System
that Jim and his group have
come up with.
Not only is their new safety
system comfortable it also
offers a tree stand hunter the
peace of mind that is needed
to fully concentrate on hunt-
ing.
I don't know how many
times I have been up a tree
hoping and praying that I
would not fall out or off my
tree stand for one reason or
another and if I did somehow
accidentally fall,' just how
effective my safety strap
would be.
When you get older you
finally realize that maybe you
really are not bullet proof.


Anyway, I like this new
"Hunter Safety System" and I
intend to use it and I plan on
getting a unit for both of my
boys. These units will make
excellent gifts for anyone
who has a loved one who
hunts out of a tree stand.
The Hunter Safety System
is relative new so after
checking with your local
sporting goods stores and you
can't come with one you can
contact the company at (256)
773-7732 and they can also be
contacted on the Internet at
www.huntersafetysystem.co
m.
I can't overstate the neces-
sity for all hunters who hunt
out of a tree stand to use
some type of safety device.
All too often we hunters get a
little on the macho side but
high up in a tree is no place
to ignore common sense. A
wheelchair or a funeral
home is not place to end a
good hunt.


Recent rainfall spikes


mosquito population


and related diseases


Heavy spring rainfall has
triggered major increases in
the state's mosquito popula-
tion and resulted in a spike
of Eastern Equine
Encephalitis (EEE) cases
among horses, Florida
Agriculture and Consumer
Services Commissioner
Charles H. Bronson reported
tod ay.,
.\s a result, Bronson is urg-
ing horse owners to make
sure their animals are vacci-
nated against the disease
and advising all Floridians to
take precautions to minimize
their exposure to mosqui-
toes.
S"It's critical that the public
take notice that we are expe-
riencing large increases in
.Florida's mosquito popula-
tion and begin taking steps to
protect not only their horses
but themselves, as well,"
Bronson said.
"Many common mosqui-
toes are capable of carrying a
number of potentially dan-
gerous diseases."
As of today, 51 horses in 22
Florida counties this year
have contracted EEE a
virus that results in brain
swelling and is generally
fatal in horses, and some-
times fatal in humans.
'No human cases of EEE
have been detected yet in
2005, according to health offi-
cials.
By contrast, only 45 cases
of EEE were recorded for the
entire year in 2004, leading
some to. believe that this
year's cases could approach
the approximately 200


recorded in the two heaviest
years in recent history -
2003 and 1982.
On average, Florida
records about 62 cases of
EEE each year.
Bronson said this year's
numbers make it all the more
important that horse owners
check with their veterinari-
ans to make sure that their
an i inals have been vaccinat-
ed against the disease and to
make sure that booster shots
are up to date.
While no West Nile Virus.
cases have yet been reported
this year, horses should be
vaccinated against that mos-
quito-borne disease also,
Bronson said.
While no human cases of
either disease has been
detected in Florida this year,
the fact that mosquitoes car-
rying EEE are present in at
least 22 counties means peo-
ple are also vulnerable to
contracting the disease.
Among precautions that
residents should take are
avoiding the out-of-doors at
dusk and dawn, when mos-
quitoes are most active;
wearing protective clothing
- including long-sleeved
shirts, pants and socks -
When venturing outside dur-
ing those hours; and using an
insect repellent containing
either DEET or Picaridin.
Homeowners should also
remove standing water from
their property, as stagnant
water in birdbaths, plant
saucers, old tires and kiddie'
pools make excellent breed-
ing grounds for mosquitoes.

onions at Animal Control Department need improvement



Conditions at Animal Control Department need improvement


Once again, county com-
missioners are at budget
meetings, and it seems
this year may be no different
than previous years for the
county' s Animal
Control Department.
The Sumter
County Animal
Control department
is housed in a county
facility that has been
sub-standard for
years. For example,
just five years ago, .
employees had to Z.
use an outhouse
because no bath-
room accommoda- LUm
tions were available. GRA
Just four years ago, -
the dog kennels
were not hooked up to a septic
system, even though it is a
requirement by law and an envi-
ronmental hazard. Four years
ago, cats were immediately
euthanized due to lack of
accommodations. By law, the
county must keep property a
certain amount of days to allow


NI


the owners' time to claim their
property. Under the law, ani-
mals are considered property,
so the county may have been in
violation of the law by immedi-
ately destroying the
---- owner's property.
Changes have been
made over the. past
couple of years,
thanks to the efforts
of Commissioner
Roberts and
Commissioner
Chanrdler for contin-
ually pushing for bet-
ter conditions at the
facility. But with the
DA above changes made,
VES the antiquated facili-
.mg- ty still does not meet
minimum standards
for an animal control facility.
The Sumter County Animal
Control Facility still does not
meet the Florida Animal
Control Association's (FACA)
standard. Animals are eutha-
nized outside in the dirt, in all
weather conditions, because
there is no indoor euthanization


Animal Control facility euthanisa area outside in the dirt by,
the dumpster ..


area.
The kennel area for dogs is
made of old telephone poles
with a metal roof with exposed
rotten beams and exposed
wiring. There are areas where
rainwater runs over exposed
electrical wiring. The dogs are
exposed to severe temperatures
because it is an outside facility.
Last year a temporary fix was to
put a haphazard stockade fence
up to cut the wind in the winter.
But when the kennels have to be
hosed out each morning, the
dogs are left wet and cold on
freezing cement All other coun-
ty facilities in the state have a
separate attached area for the
dogs to go.when cleaning ken-
nels, both for the safety of the
employees and the humane
. treatment of the animals.
In one of the fastest growing
counties in Florida, the Sumter
County Animal Control depart-
ment has only two on-the-road-
officers to cover the whole coun-
ty. Public safety is at risk when
the facility has only 16 kennels
and four kennels designated for
quarantine. When the kennels
are filled up, which is frequent-
ly, the facility cannot take any
more animals in. Even with only
a three-day holding period, one
of the shortest holding periods
allowed before euthanizing the
animals, the facility stays con-
tinually filled to capacity. What
happens when the quarantine
kennels are filled, and there is a
dangerous dog at large? This is
not an unlikely scenario.
Under the new direction of
Jim Sparks, and Supervisior
John fHezlep, animal control
officers and personnel are try-
ing to do their best with minimal
resources. The agency has
implemented an adoption pro-
gram, to help slow down the
killing of so many animals. In
deteriorating conditions the
officers are asked to do the
impossible. Stray dog roundups,
which are a public safety issue,
immediately overwhelms the
kennels.
Three years ago, a proposal
was brought to the county com-
missioner to build a new facility
by the former director for ani-
mal control, Garry Breeden. At
that time the coIunt\ was in no
position to finance a new facili-
ty. Two years ago, .the county


Animal Control facility -
exposed electrical wiring.


allotted money to plan and
design a new facility. This year,
it should be in the budget to
build the new animal control
facility.
We believe that each commis-
sioner should tour the Animal
Control facility before making
decisions,. on- its future. The
obvious problems are evident to
anyone. Adding more kennels to
the existing substinda rd facility
is a waste of money. The deteri-
orated building is dangerous
and should' be condemned. A
Band-aid fix will not solve the
problems inherent in the cur-
rent type of facility, nor will 16
more kennels keep up with
the. demand of a growing
county.
The shameful conditions of
one of the county's facilities is
a disgrace to Sumter County,
and a disservice to its citizens.

Helping to preserve Florida's natural beauty


The environment is our
responsibility and we all must
do our part if we are to pre-
serve Florida's natural beauty
for generations to come. The
University of Florida's Institute
of Food and Agricultural
Sciences has a program, which
could help you maintain a
healthy, attractive landscape in
an environmentally responsi-
ble manner. The program is.
called Environmental
Landscape Management (ELM)
and its goal is to encourage the
development of environmental-
ly sound landscapes by appro-
priate design and maintenance
practices.
Landscape irrigation can


account for up to 50 percent of
a home's water use.
Conservation practices include
lengthening the intervals
between watering to as long as
possible, spot watering those
plants which require frequent
irrigation and grouping plants
with similar water needs.
Watering in the-early morning
hours and applying.1/2-inch to
3/4-inches of water per applica-
tion can significantly reduce
this amount without affecting
the quality of the landscape.
Over-fertilization can have
dire consequences for the land-
scape and the environment.
Research has shown that sever-
al lawn pest problems are


increased when the lawn is
over-stimulated with excessive
fertilizer. In addition, too much
fertilizer promotes excessive
growth, which greatly increases
the rate of thatch build up in
lawns and the amount of mow-
ing and pruning required to
keep the landscape attractive.
When purchasing fertilizers,
look for those, which have at
least 50 percent of the nitrogen
in a slow-release form. These
fertilizers provide nitrogen to
the roots of plants for a long
period of time and less fertiliz-
er is lost to pollute our lakes
and streams.
One can improve the appear-
ance and health of your lawn


and save water, fertilizer and
work by sharpening the mower
blade and increasing the cut-
ting height. Mowing with a dull
blade produces a lawn with a
ragged appearance.
Continuous low mowing drasti-
cally reduces the leaf surface
needed to absorb sunlight and
produce food.
Large quantities of pesti-
cides are used each year on
landscape plants. Such wide
use of chemicals to control pest
is not without risks. There is
always a chance of environ-
mental contamination, destruc-
tion of beneficial organisms,
pest resistance, and outbreak of
secondary pests. There is


another approach to dealing
with plant pests. The ELM
approach begins with selecting
plants that have few pest prob-
lems. ELM avoids cultural
practices such as over-watering
and over-fertilizing, which
make lawns and landscape
plants susceptible to pests.
ELM may also require frequent
monitoring of your landscape
for pests.
If a pest problem is detected,
-spray only the affected plant or
plants. On lawns, spray the
affected area and a 5-foot
buffer around it Blanketing the
lawn or landscape with pesti-
cide is wasteful and could be
environmentally damaging.


We need to recycle grass clip-
pings, leaves ,and pruning clip-
pings instead of having them
transported to our already over
burdened landfills. Grass clip-
pings can be left on the lawn
and leaves and pruning clip-
pings can be shredded and
used as mulch or composted
and used as soil amendment
Environmental landscape
management is a common
sense approach to landscape
maintenance, which can absorb
energy and water, recycle yard
wastes, and reduce inputs of
fertilizers and pesticides into
the environment.
Clinics are held at the exten-
sion office in Sumter County,
793-2728, on Thursdays.
