Established 1881 SUMTER COUNTY VOLUME 121 NUMBER 30 INSIDE Calendar ............. 10 Church ...............6 Obituaries ............ .6 Police Report ..........3 Tidbits .............. 11 THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 20051 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 Please see TAX, Page 2 County sets new landfill ,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. County Attorney Randall Thornton and Cotinty Development Services AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer Joshlta James Walsh, 24, Wildwood. returned to a Sumter County courtroom this week to once again face trial for allegedly killing a 5- year.old Leesburg girl and "injuring one woman during a purported road rage incident involving the girl's father. Sixte juren and two comn prise m ember two alter- nate jurors who will be deciding Walsh Walls s fate. 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 examines and possible errors occurred. 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.

"This is really special for me to be here." she said. "The kids are responding (to the program) really well." She and the other instruc- tors taught the children, divided into two age groups, about the food pyramid and the importance of healthy eat- ing habits, with songs and dances thrown into the mix. The children also learned about hygiene, and received visits throughout the week from the Sumter Sheriff's K-9 unit, SWAT team, and were scheduled to see county fire- fighters on Friday.

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. Lorenzo Fields is stepping into the classroom at West Street School after years of working in various programs.

TAX continued from Page 1 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. FIRE continued from Page 1 year, up from the current annual rate of $56. The pro- posed increase is the largest allowed by law. The proposed rate will be considered for adoption dur- ing the Tuesday, Aug. 30, County Commission meeting. The'meeting begins at 5 p.m. on the second floor of the courthouse. The assessment is included on property tax statements.

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.

We think it's in the county's best interest to keep DCF where it is and explore other office space options.., "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content .

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.

Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Stephens Commissioners Robert, Chandler and Mask to put in the budget the building of a new animal control facility that will meet the Florida Animal Control Association's stan- dard. Diane Hartman The Villages 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. Sandy Mitchell The Villages Fifteen steps to prepare for hurricane season W Tith hurricane season upon us we all need T to get prepared and be ready in case a hurricane hits our area.

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.

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 Send questions and com- ments to "Senior Advocate," 1624 N. Meadowcrest Blvd., Crystal River FL 34429 or e- mail danrohan@atlantic.net.

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.

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 Winston Cup driver Ernie Irvan.

"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." a --L-.AW I -PROPANE SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL TANK SETS - ;, ** 60 GALLON $ 00 SET & FILL Prices good 100 GALLON $ IAAOO thru 8/31/05 SET & FILL W.

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. 1.y -Q KZ. t-F--- --... .. PAGE 16, SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 2005 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.

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.

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. and PIG -LE IGENDS -& .-OUTAW VMODIFIEDS SUPER f 50SHOEVM XN)THUNDR T OF'JD1 O 4 C01INDF BOMEIf GET READY FOR THE GATORS WITH FLORIDA FOOTBALL 2005 It's the dawn of a new era for Gator football and has everything you need to know to get ready for the upcoming season!

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.
