Established 1881 SUMMER COUNTY Church ..... Obituaries . Police Report Tidbits ..... 35 CENTS INSIDE ......9 ..........6. ......... .3 ......... 22 Cement plant request tabled MARTIN STEELE Times Correspondent Sumter County Commis- sioners on Tuesday decided to wait a week before acting on a request to permit a second cement production plant in the county. With a three-to-two vote, the board tabled the request by Natural Resources of Central Florida (NCRF) to modify a mining permit for land near Sumterville to allow the con- struction and operation of a cement kiln. The board is scheduled to take up the issue again at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 16. Commission Chairman Joey Chandler asked for the delay, noting that the presentation by company representatives had raised more questions for him. In particular, he said he wanted to know more about possible air emissions from the plant and about the traffic situation on County Road 470. Commissioners Michael Francis and Richard Hoffman voted against tabling the deci- sion until next week. The board is considering NRCF's request to modify its current conditional use per- mit for limerock mining to include the cement produc- tion facility. It would be locat- ed on 46 acres of land off C- 470 about two miles east of The County Commission is scheduled to take up the issue again at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 16. With a 3-to-2 vote, the board tabled the request by Natural Resources of Central Florida. U.S. 301. The plant site is on a more than 1,200-acre site 'already approved for mining that its adjacent to what is known as Warm Springs Hammock. The site is also generally situated between the Dixie Lime and Stone mining facility and the Coleman Federal Corrections Complex. About a month ago, commis- sioners approved a similar CUP modification for a cement plant at a mine near the Mabel community in south Sumter County. According to Gary 0. Cohrs, general manager of NRCF's cement division, the company proposes to market their product within a 60-90 mile radius of the plant; It would employ about 90 workers with an annual pay- roll of approximately $5 mil- lion, Cohrs said. They would be full-time jobs with benefits. In response to commission questions,- he later said that the salaries for those jobs would range from' $40,000 to $100,000 per year. We will do everything with- in our power to staff the plant from within the county," Cohrs said. Construction of the plant would likely take 18 to 24 months and would require 250-300 workers, he said. Except for the related min- ing operation, materials stor- age, handling and processing will be under cover or inside buildings, according to Cohrs. And, about 90 percent of the raw materials would come from the Sumterville site. The process involves heat- ing a mixture of mostly lime- stone with some clay and sand to produce "clinker" a brown, rock like material. It is ground to a fine powder and mixed with gypsum to produce the cement. Fuel for the facility could include coal, coke, discarded tires (up to about 10 percent), natural gas and diesel fuel, Cohrs said. The building for the plant would typically by about 40 feet high, according to Cohrs.

As a result, a P.m., multitude of for- South mer students, col- High leagues, and friends have gymn joined efforts to bene honor former high school school agriculture teacher John prog Stephens, and his wife, Ethel, by creating a schol- arship in their names.' The John 'and. Ethel Stephens Scholarship and Student' Enrichment Fund will pro- vide for one scholarship for $2,000 or two for $1,000 every year to the University of Florida College of Agriculture. A banquet is being held on Aug. 27, at 6:30 p.m., at the South Sumter High School gymnasium to benefit the scholarship program, and the cost for a ticket is $25. A former student of John Stephens, Walter Graham, now works as the chief of the Florida Unclaimed Property h S f tw gr Program in Tallahassee, but can vividly recall the impact Stephens had on him during his school years. "Other than my parents, (Mr. Stephens) was probably the single most positive influ- ence on my life," Graham said. Stephens. 73, a : Plant City native, uet is came to teach in :Sumter County in eld onf 1957, and spent 35 at 6:30 years in the at the school system, both as a high ,umter school agricul- 3chool ture teacher and as the head of the um to vocationaL it the department. irship Graham said due to Stephens' ram. efforts, the agri- culture program at South Sumter High School thrived, and many state Future Farmers of America officers emerged from Sumter County. "We had a very dominant program in FFA. Mr. Stephens built it into the premier FFA chapter in Florida." Students also remember him for other reasons, like the barbecues he sometimes held for them, sight-seeing on trips to FFA conventions, and for such things as teaching some of the boys to water-ski on Lake David.

Dinner planned for Maier-Martin Lori Maier-Martin BRENDA LOCKLEAR Staff Writer Lori Maier-Martin is facing a detour in her life. While she's still on her way to becoming a teacher, she's deal- ing with a major challenge, after being thrown from her car on U.S. 27 in March. The 31-year-old mother of two is pushing herself through reha- bilitation, fighting to strengthen and heal the spinal injury that's kept her from walking for the past three months. And while she's fighting to walk, friends and community supporters are fighting to help her in the battle. They're gather- ing up goodies, holding raffles and cooking up benefit dinners and entertaining evenings. With the expense of health care and rehabilitation, the Martins are facing some heavy financial burdens. Her mom, Louise, said the total has already reached $250,000. Members of the local Sumter County Seminole Club, like teachers Donna Howton and retired educator Rosa Lee Tomberlin, were on board to hold a fundraiser, but the effort has taken on a life of its own. Tomberlin said because people know and care about Maier-Martin, they've all jumped in to help and made Please see BENEFIT, Page 2 -rWrdS-ies . v^S^L VOLUME 121 NUMBER 31 Calendar .......

"That's our focus." There are changes in pre- kindergarten with expansions and changes that the district is responsible for. Parents were asked to pre-reg- ister their children at a state level, earlier this year, just to give the state a ballpark figure. BENEFIT continued from Page 1 the club plan a community effort. One of the main events is a Saturday, Aug. 20, barbecue chicken dinner and Gospel sing. I Food will be served from noon until 6 p.m. and the sing will be on from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m. at South Sumter High School., The, crash happened on March 31 as she was traveling along U.S. 27 toward Clermont, her mom said. Her vehicle flipped several times and she %was thrown out, according to her mom. Maier- Martin was tossed into the medi- an and then slid into the high- way, where rush hour traffic was moving. Krauss knew him as a county commissioner, and many more know him as an active member of the First Baptist Church of Bushnell, and a positive influ- ence in the community. "He was a leader in the coun- ty, in the community, and in the church for many, many years," he said. The scholarship is also meant to honor Ethel Stephens, who Graham said helped her hus- band tremendously with his work A full-time employee at Sumter Electric, she used her vacations to attend FFA trips, and spent countless hours of her free time throughout the years to help out. "She put in an unbelievable amount of time for us kids at night and on the weekends," he To register for actual class, parents needed to get set up locally Shirley said there were numerous people who regis- tered online, but hadn't regis- tered locally. At Wildwood High School, Principal Richard Hampton notes the agenda, as it moves from last year's block scheduling to a full seven-period day. The Wildcats have two new assistant principals on campus this year with James Presley and George Joyce, as well as new teachers on-the faculty list. They've also made some cos- Fortunately, business owners on 27 heard the crash and ran out to stop traffic, until help could get there otherwise she might have been run over. Ironically, the business own- ers turned out to be her cousins, who didn't recognize her or real- ize it was her, until much later. They were simply concerned with getting medical help for her and not moving her to avoid more damage. Her mother said it was good that she was thrown, otherwise "She wouldn't have survived.' The top of the car was destroyed. Currently, she's unable to walk, paralyzed from the waist down. She's in- rehabilitation and- doing well, but her doctor still isn't certain of her future prog- nosis as far as walking because of the tension on her spinal said. Graham, who served as a state FFA officer and won numerous awards, credits Mrs. Stephens as well as Mr Stephens with his success as a student at SSHS and a member of the FFA And Mrs. Stephens has taken with her some fond memories of those days. "I had more adopted boys and girls than anyone around," Mrs. Stephens said jokingly. "I was always a second mother, I still get a lot of hugs (from his former students)." She retired after 34 years working for Sumter Electric, and during, that time was very involved with her husband's stu- dents. "I did it because I enjoyed working with the students." The Stephenses said at first metic changes, painting parts of the campus. "I'm really looking forward to- it," he said of this year. He's excited about the return- ing group of teachers, as well as new teachers that are coming on board. "They seem to be energetic and excited about teaching." At South Sumter High School, principal Preston Morgan said, "We're going to put the emphasis on reading this year." "We were one of the highest scoring high schools in Central Florida this year," Morgan said of their ranking in the top five chord. She and her husband Fred have two children -Kaley, 7, and Frede, 5. While she ran for homecom- ing queen in high school, she's never been the type of person to seek attention for herself - instead always wanting to help others, her mom said. Even now she.doesn't want to be center of attention uncom- fortable with being the focus of the benefit in her name. The fact that others want her- to be the center of attention and want to help her is evident in their desire to do for her "Everybody loves Lori. She's a beautiful girl always doing for others." "And she has two good rea- sons for wanting to walk," he mom added. Tomberlin, a retired coach and teacher, said, "Her peers if they were reluctant when- approached with the news for- mer students were working on something to honor them. "Neither one of us likes to be in the spotlight," Mr. Stephens said. "But when you find out it's for the good of the students, being a teacher, how could I say no? "Both of us are very apprecia- tive of what they're doing (with the scholarship)." - Though thankful, he said being a teacher is rewarding in itself. "Those were probably the best years of my life. I enjoyed it" He said he doesn't recall ever having a student he didn't like. Successful farmers, doctors, lawyers, university professors, and teachers are just a few pro- percent for FCAT test scores. But even with the high scores, "It's so hard for a high school to get into that A range." He said South Sumter was only 10 points away from a B grade. With their math grades at top level, they'll be focusing on reading and writing. They're implementing intensive reading blocks for lower level readers. For the past three years, they've been on the verge of a. top grade, but haven't quite made it. "Next year we're not going to let that happen," Morgan said. New additions include a 500- anything went wrong, she was the first one to try to help them. "She's just a wonderful little girl a big girl," Tomberlin said with a laugh. Mrs. Maier said her daughter has always been very active, fun loving and very optimistic. "'She has a lot or faith. She has a lot of trust in the Lord, as we do. She believes in miracles as we do," her mom said. . But even if the miracle of walking again is slated for Maier-Martin, she plans to be in fessionals many of Mr. Stephens' former students have grown to be. Mr. Stephens said he gives credit to other teachers, people throughout the community, and to the students. "I give my credit to my stu- dents because I had so many good students." He said even now students he hasn't seen in years will stop by his Bushnell home for a visit, and sometimes they don't expect Mr. Stephens to recognize them, but he always does. "Their eyes don't ever change," he said. Mr. Stephens, who grew up on a strawberry farm, is still an avid gardener, sowing .as many as 3,400 ears of corn from his gar- den, along with peas and other vegetables. The Stephenses gallon saltwater tank in the school media center. The self- sufficient tank is d6cor for the media center, but it's actual class work for the science lab students, as they study the tank and ecosystems. Already done in bookstore, coffee-shop style, the tank adds to the atmosphere for students as they sip cappuccino, surf the net and browse the book selec- tion and tank residents are named after some pretty famous movie stars the cast of"Nemo" the movie. Adding to the, excitement at South Sumter, is a planned visit the classroom. She plans to be a teacher, by wheelchair or on foot Maier-Martin had wanted to be a nurse at one time and .then did some work as a druggist's assistant, but her .college years have been dedicating to educa- tion. Her mom said her words were, "I need to be a teacher." Her mom said she had some excellent teachers growing up and cited Howton and Karen Cloud among them: have a daughter, Lisa, 45, who lives 'in Stuart, one son, Lawrence, who passed away, and two grandsons.

The first arrest was made on Aug. 3 when convicted sex offender Lloyd Clayton failed to register with the sheriff's department as required by law, according to sheriff's Lt. Bobby Caruthers. Clayton, 28, Wildwood, was arrested outside the Sumter County Detention Center in Bushnell when he refused to register as a sex offender, Caruthers said. Clayton had been released from jail on August 1 for a sex- ually-related offense, accord- ing to Caruthers. After several days, he was arrested for failure to register when he told deputies outside the jail that he had no place to live, no money and refused to register as a sex offender, Caruthers said. Clayton was placed in the Sumter County Detention Center with bond set at $2,000. The second arrest was made on Sunday, Aug. 7, when a sheriff's deputy learned that Robert Goodman, 27, of Wildwood, failed to register as a sex offender. Goodman was arrested after he was stopped by a sheriff's deputy for a traffic violation in The Villages, according to Caruthers. When the deputy ran a com- puter check, he discovered that Goodman's registration tag had expired, he did not have a valid driver's license and his Indiana driver's license had expired. The officer also discovered that Goodman was a convicted sex offender from Indiana who hadn't registered with the sheriff's office, Caruthers said. Goodman told the deputy he has been living with his cousin in Wildwood for two months and thought he had a few more weeks before he had to regis- ter, according to Caruthers. Goodman was arrested for failure to register as a sex offender and no valid driver's license. He was placed in the county jail with bond set at $2,150. In the meantime, Caruthers said the sheriff's office is already implementing a new unit aimed at better monitor- ing convicted sex offenders. On August 1, the sheriff's office implemented the Career Criminal Apprehen- sion Unit, headed by sheriff's Det. Zeke Shaw. The unit was launched in anticipation of the newly enacted Jessica Lundsford Act that becomes effective December 1, Caruthers said. "Instead of waiting until December, we wanted to be on top of things," he said. The new law sets stricter requirements for convicted sex offenders including more frequent registration with local law enforcement agen- cies, background screening for contractual workers on school grounds and stricter penalties for persons who assist sex offenders in hiding, Caruthers said.

RoBIN EDDINSS Times Correspondent On Saturday, Aug. 6, World War II came to Bushnell. The 8th annual remem- brance event brought together people from far and wide to. share their knowledge of the time, show their wares and demonstrate to the public what is was like-to live during that era. If one ignored the parking lot filled with contemporary vehicles you could almost feel like a time traveler looking into the past from authentic campsites to "soldiers" milling about the Dade Battlefield Park. Matt Asplin, of Crystal Beach, dressed in a German uniform started as a collector and was online looking for a holster when he ran across a website for a reenactment unit. His great-grandfather fought for the kaiser in the Imperial Army. Others got involved by \ ay of just interest in'the area, their parents, a spouse or had a family member who fought in the war. During the day, demonstra- tions of firing techniques. marching and even an American arms inspection took place. Joe Chumbley, of Largo, is a history buff and likes the idea that the reenactments help show the general public a piece of the past with an up close and personal feel. "We do it to share the histo- ry but also to honor the sol- diers that fought in the w\al: he said. "The war affected everyone everywhere not just the soldiers. People at home had to ration their food, their gas, their tires. I Slaughter Cows Boner 800.8%.

Wages were frozen and it was a way for businesses to entice the returning soldiers to work for them." said Chumbley. Displays showed uniforms, mess kits, books, canteens, firearms, vehicles and a vari- ety of items used during the war by British, American, French and German soldiers. Adding flare to the event women dressed as Army nurs- es, Rosie the Riveter, USO entertainers and young men portrayed their parts with fer- vor and a love for history. Even "Le Resistance" was represented in the reenact- ment. What would a WWII reenactment be without "Le Resistance?" Penny Levy of Jacksonville adds to the atmosphere last Saturday riding her bicycle. American soldiers take a break in the hot August sun. The background of camping displays gives one an eerie feeling of time travel.

McCollum Ave. Bushnell, FL 33513 Member Florida Press Association Our VOICE A special honor for some special people John and Ethel Stephens as a county commissioner from have given a lot to their com- 1986 until 1994. munity. I watched Stephens over his Now, that community is giving years as a county commissioner I back. A local campaign -' recently started to honor the Stephenses for their outstanding contribution to Sumter County. ' A committee of about two dozen people is Z planning a very special 'thank you" to the cou- ple by creating an endowment in their B honor and a special REIC evening of recognition. A story appears in this week's edition about the plans. The committee, comprised of local leaders and former stu- dents of Mr Stephens', is working to honor the couple by funding a $50,000 scholarship in the Department of Agricultural Education and Communication at the University of Florida. The John and Ethel Stephens Endowment will support the educational development of future educators, communicators and leaders in agriculture. I didn't know John Stephens when he was a vocational direc- tot and FFA advisor at South Sumter High School. I'd never been one of his pupils during his 23-year span of teaching voca- tional agriculture. But many people were and many people speak of Stephens with very positive comments- about his days as an instructor. I met Stephens 'when he entered the political arena, when he became a County Commissioner Stephens served Stephens are great Sumter citizens The effort to establish a scholarship fund and hold a dinner in honor of John and Ethel Stephens is one of the best things that. has been done in Sumter County. If true success in life is giving and" making the lives of others better, and having had the most positive influ- ence on the most people, then Mr and Mrs. Stephens are probably the most successful people who have ever lived 'here. They are easily two of our coun- ty's greatest I am grateful and happy to support the cause to honor them. I encourage all Sumter County citizens to do the same. Sincerely, County Commissioner' Randy Mask A very impressive resume for Roberts Judge John Roberts, President Bush's pick to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court,- brings with him one of the most impressive resumes any nominee to the high court has had in a genera- tion. HMAN appreciated his thoughtfulness in his decision-making process. Stephens was an ana- lytical commissioner, not quick to jump. You could almost see him weighing different sides of an issue before mak- ing a decision. Just a couple of years ago, I decided to stop by his house to do a feature story about him. He was outside work- ing in his garden, a garden he has tended for years. It's a garden that displays the special care that Stephens can give. I, like many others, shared in the harvest from that garden. Stephens, overlooking my protests, handed me ears of corn, some squash and a few other gar- den delights. Stephens knows how to grow a garden and he gleefully shares its bounty. That may be exactly what makes Stephens stand out from the rest. He's close to the ground. He knows how to appreciate and he knows how to share. You can tell that by that little glint in his eye and that wide unassuming smile. In honor of John and Ethel 'Rft h i l bti uepnens, a special c dinner is being pla August 27.

Also few of so many. the general,public knew of the code and the impact it .would have on their local fire services. Florida Administrative Code 69A- 62, commonly known as "Florida's Firefighter OSHA Rules," sets statewide uniform firefighters stan- dards for all fire departments, cceeded in whether they are paid, volunteer, or iate sectors any combination of the two. aw clerk to This code sets standards in the inquist, to a areas of minimum necessary equip- ate-practicen a ment, employment and staffing, sit appeals adopts OSHA Standards, adopts the National Fire Protection deputy U.S. Association Standards, and neces- ed 39 cases sary requirements to be recognized t. as a fire department. It also includes able track mandatory workplace safety and can expect health programs, safety and health tom Senate compliance, and workplace safety and Chuck committees. pressure This code is meant not only to pro- vide better fire protection to the n assailing public, but also provide more safety te to keep to the firefighters themselves, Believes a whether they are paid or volunteers. et law, not The adoption of OSHA Standard 29 C.FR 1910.134(g) 3 and 4 places a berts' nom- requirement that involves the num- rounds ber of personnel required on the r means scene of a fire where entry into the structure is necessary to fight the recognize fire. The requirement is to have a >r the high minimum of two firefighters inside e qualifica- the structure who are in direct con- into ques- tact with each other at all times and two firefighters outside the struc- BettySikes ture ready to engage in rescue or Buslmell backup for those inside. Firefighter K~Wsum"I safety is the reasoning behind these requirements. This is a mandatory minimum requirement Volunteer firefighters are and have been the backbone of the fire service, nationwide. Most rural and non-urban areas throughout the country rely solely on the volunteer companies. Usually paid fire com- panies are found in larger, more metropolitan cities and areas. Sumter County Fire/Rescue is now at a crossroads. For the first half of this year, 2005, statistics show that while Sumter County, itself, grew approximately five percent, emergency responses have increased more than 21 percent over last year, for the same time period. These statistics, with the addition of the second quarter num- bers, project an annual call volume for the year 2005 of about 8,400 calls. On average, that's over 23 calls per day system wide. The annual call load (responses) has increased 36 percent since 2003; just two years ago, when the county first consoli- dated the 10 volunteer departments into one unified county fire depart- ment To meet all staffing requirements of the state's FAC 69A-62, and espe- cially the National Fire Protection Association Standard 1710/1720, which this code adopted, Sumter County Fire/Rescue is proposing to employ 39 full-time firefighters in addition to, the volunteer (paid per call) personnel. This would allow for staffing of 12 certified full-time fire- fighters per shift The four person- nel will staff three stations each shift There will be one station in. each of the three Battalions. In addi- tion, one full-time certified firefight- er per shift would be hired in a relief position to cover vacations, sick time, etc. The three stations, which would be staffed, have the highest call vol- umes in the system. Even with full- time staff, these stations, due to their extremely high call volumes, will still need the volunteer (paid per call) firefighters. Costs for this proposal would initially be partially funded by a "SAFER" grant The for- ward-thinking Sumter County Board of County Commissioners agreed to permit Sumter County Fire/Rescue to apply for a "SAFER" grant. Sumter County Fire/Rescue pro- vides coverage to just under 50,000 permanent residents in an area of 548 square miles. In addition, within the coverage area is 15 miles of gas transmission pipeline along Florida's Turnpike, the Coleman Federal Corrections Facility, the Sumter Correctional Institution, and two large municipal water treat- ment facilities. Included also are two small municipal water treat- ment facilities, approximately 45 miles of Interstate 75, approximate- ly 15 miles of Florida's Turnpike, many commercial and industrial businesses, several large manufac- turing plants, and several large min- ing operations. Shopping centers, schools, government offices, power companies, truck stops, restaurants, and motels are also covered. The CSX Railroad runs almost the entire length of the county. Everyday new homes and businesses are appear- ing throughout the county. Sumter County is growing and as it grows, so will the demands on Sumter County Fire/Rescue.

Your VOICE Help Animal Control It's that time of the year again for budget planning by the Sumter Board of Commissioners. Unfortunately, most likely it will be a new budget with the old lack of funds for Animal Control Departments needs. As described by Mrs. Linda Graves, of the Sumter County Humane Society, the improve- ments made through the past five years are greatly appreciated but far from being up to standard requirements to adequately house these stray, abandoned and home- less animals. The past Board of Commissioners were slow, if not at times opposed, to making any improvements at the facility until Commissioner J. Roberts was elect- ed. His tireless efforts, not only to speak with the past Board mem- bers concerning the lack of funds appropriated to Animal Control, he served as chairman of a committee to update a poorly written Animal Ordnance made over 10 years ago, thus making the Board aware of needed improvements. Granted, this is a Board of Commissioners with the three newly elected members who hope- fully will show the same initiative as Commissioner Roberts to visit time at the facility. Observing, themselves, the deficiency of this makeshift facility, operating at no fault to the Animal Control Officer and personnel. Newly appointed Director J. Sparks and Chief Officer J. Hezlep have made improvements, but funds are needed for this poorly constructed building to be demol- ished and an updated shelter be built. Lake County and Ocala Animal Control shelters are models if Sumter Board of Commissioners would give the same priority to a much-needed project. Actually a visit to the shelter by any Sumter taxpayer could and would be beneficial to this pur-. pose. A resident doesn't have to be an animal lover to understand this is a responsibility not to be ignored. These animals have become shel- tered here until euthanized through no fault of their own but by lack of conunitment of past owners. Animal Welfare Societies and advocates continuously advise owners not to leave their dogs in hot automobiles in fear of death due to heat exhaustion, yet the dogs of the Sumter facility are being housed in extreme heat and cold weather with little or no protection. Each winter, donations of blan- kets are collected for the dogs who are sleeping on cold cement floors due to lack of improper wiring to provide heat. This is countywide problem, not just South Sumter where the facili- ty is located. Support from all residents are encouraged to write and call each and every Commissioners to con- sider adequate monies. Two Village residents have pub- licly requested the newly elected Village District Commissioners for their consideration when earmark- ing funds be allocated to Animal Control not just General Funds which other projects take priority.

Another VOICE We live in changing times - Your VOICE SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 2005, PAGE 5 CEMENT continued from Page 1 In the application, NRCF representatives stated that the tallest structure on the site "is not expected to exceed 275 feet." It would be "a state of the art plant," at an "excellent site," according to Cohrs. Some of the residents or Sumteryille and the sur- rounding area aren't too sure about the latter. Bill Costner, of the Beville's Corner area, asked about the sulfur emissions from burn- ing coal and fuel oils. "It produces a lot of sulfur doesn't it, Costner asked? Then he asked about how the fuel would get to the plant and the potential impact of more trucks on the local roads. "C-470 east is over- Tom Poss loaded as it is about the with the dump trucks." the chile Keith Allen, grandch Sumterville, had similar Sumter concerns. "when w "C-470 east these ho cannot not handle it the mines. H road is coming there were apart," Allen for re-clai said. He followed sit with a list of questions about how the form the coals and tires would delivered, stored and used. And, he noted that a third mine in the area would be "too much dynamiting." Cohrs responded that the coal and tires have to be in enclosed storage to comply with some regulations and because the materials needed to be kept dry. He also stated that lime- stone is introduced. into the furnaces of power plants to provide a "scrubbing" action to limit sulfur emissions. With a kiln heating limestone, it provides a "natural scrub- ber." Tom Posse warned about the future for the children and grandchildren'of Sumter residents "when we dig all these holes" for mines. He asked if there were provi- sions for re-claiming those sites. County Attorney Randall Thornton said that for mines approved in the last 20 years, there are requirements for restoration. Helen Blackmon told the board that she lived only about two miles from the pro- posed plant site and that she had family also living nearby "I found out that dioxin is one of the most toxic of sub- stances and that the EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) shows cement plants to be generators," she said. She cited government infor- mation that showed a Texas cement plant to be listed as the seventh largest generator of dioxin in the country. "It sounds real good, the jobs and all what about all the bad things ," Blackmon se warned asked. future for Oscar future for Alvarez told Sren and the board that ildren of his parents residents had lived residents about 10 miles ve dig all from a cement oles"for plant and that S if even at that e asked f distance, the provisions dust was a ming those daily problem. But, NRCF es. engineering consultant John Koogler said that the area effected by the plant would go out about two miles and that was generally for "particulate" matter in the air. He noted that dust or chem- ical emissions from a given plant could mostly depend upon the age of the plant and where it was located, some, states not having as stringent restrictions as Florida. He noted that chemical emissions would only amount to about 40 percent of the state allowable standards, with the quantities being measured in "billionths" of a gram. In response to concerns raised by Chandler about pos- sible impacts of multiple cement plants in the area, Koogler said that the zones of impact for these plants would not overlap. On another issue, NRCF legal representative Anna Long said that the company has agreed to fund a traffic study on C-470 with the coun- ty choosing the consultant. The recommendations for that study would be imple- mented by NRCF, she said. Commissioner Randy Mask was another with concerns about pollutants, asking specifically about mercury. Koogler said that the metal is naturally occurring in the sand, clay and limestone, but that the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) "strenuously" regu- lates mercury emissions to about one fourth of the EPA standards. Chandler said he simply needed more time to consider the information and to get answers about air quality from someone that wasn't being paid by the applicant. He also expressed concerns about the roads. "We don't need to have four major traf- fic accesses in a two-mile stretch," Chandler said. Francis commented that NRCF had provided the most thorough presentation he had seen and moved to approve the CUP modification. Hoffman provided, the sec- ond. But, Chandler pressed to hold off for a week. "Everyone seems like they're in, a race." Francis argued that the plant would be subject to both state and federal regulations. "We just approved another one and this is more informa- tion." Thornton noted that the last application to modify a CUP for a cement plant was rec- ommend for denial by the Zoning and Adjustment Board (ZAB), but was unani- mously approved by the com- mission. Now, this application has a five-to-two vote of the ZAB in favor of recommendation of the proposal, he said. "Could you show me what the differ- ence is?" Commissioner Jim Roberts asked if the applicant could wait for a week. The answer from Long was yes. Roberts moved to table the issue and Mask provided the second. 651-0818-SCT 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 { 121 Belt Avenue Bushnell, FL 33513 ,i (Next to Dollar General) V- 569-0171. O 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 pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, is not a development order under Chapter 380, Florida Statutes. All planning, permitting and other regulatory requirements pertaining to development within the land area will be in accordance with general and 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 be 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 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 will be minimal or positive and that Sumter County is not a small county as defined by section 120.52, Florida Statutes. At the above-referenced public hearing, the Board of County Commissioners will 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 Courthouse, 209 North Florida Street, Bushnell, Florida 33513, Florida, between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. except on weekends and holidays Interested persons are advised that, if a person decides to appeal any decision made by the County Commission with respect to any matter considered at a hearing, he or she will need a record of the proceedings, and that, for such purpose, he or she may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings 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.

AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer A man accused of killing a 5- year-old Leesburg girl during a purported road rage inci- dent was acquitted last week at his second Sumter County trial. Joshua James Walsh, 25, Wildwood, faced a minimum sentence of 25 years in prison to a maximum life sentence for firing the shot that killed 5- year-old Marishka Lovett dur- ing an altercation with the girl's father. The jury, made up of four men and two women, deliber- ated Thursday afternoon and into Friday afternoon, and at one point requested tran- scripts of Walsh's testimony. Walsh was convicted of third-degree murder in February 2004, after a jury found him guilty of the girl's February 2003 shooting death. Though the previous jury found Walsh guilty, the deci- sion was overturned and he was granted a new trial. Circuit Judge Hale Stancil ordered a new trial for Walsh last August, and in a 25-page explanation, said misstate- ments of law and evidence were made during the trial, issues were not fully exam- ined, 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. The incident began when Marishka's father, Tyrone Lovett, 30, was reportedly cut off by Walsh's brother, Jeremiah Walsh, and brother- in-law, Wesley Parker. Defense Attorney Michael Guilty Graves said in his opening statement last week 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 Lovett pursued Walsh and Parker, flashing the car's 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- A, in the Sumter County por- tion of Fruitland. Park, Jeremiah Walsh and Parker, spotting Joshua Walsh's white pickup truck on the roadside, pulled over. Lovett also pulled over, and Parker and Jeremiah exited the car.

Wildwood Park grand opening BOB REICHMAN Editor Local government officials and residents will join the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLBank Atlanta) to celebrate the grand open- ing of the new Wildwood Park housing development in Wildwood on Thursday, Aug. 18. U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown- Waite, a member of the Housing and Community Opportunity Subcommittee in the U.S. House, will be joined by County Commission Chairman Joey Chandler, Wildwood Mayor Ed Wolf and FHLBank Atlanta officials for a grand opening tour of the Wildwood Park development. Mr. and Mrs. Ortega are first-time homebuyers who utilized the First-time Homebuyer Program (FHP) of the FHLBank Atlanta, in partnership with Homes In Partnership and the First Federal Savings Bank and will be hosting the program at their home. The event is scheduled from 10:30 a.m. to noon at the Ortega home, at 908 Powell WALSH continued from Page 9 At one point, Lovett hit Parker with the front of his car, landing him on his feet, according to Graves' account. According. to court docu- ments, Joshua then fired three shots from a shotgun he had in his truck One shot -went into the back of Lovett's vehicle, hitting his daughter Marishka, who was in the backseat, in the head, and mother-in-law, Sandra Vickson. who was in the front passenger seat, in the finger. Lovett reportedly drove his vehicle away from the scene and went to the Handy Way store in Fruitland Park for Street About 150 people are expected to attend the event. The FHP provides grants to member financial institu- tions for down payment and closing cost assistance pro- grams for low- and moderate- income first-time homebuy- ers. Homes In Partnership has partnered with the FHLBank Atlanta and First Federal Savings to provide funding for low-to moderate-income homes for Wildwood resi- dents. Beneficiaries of the Affordable Housing Program (AHP) within the FHLBank Atlanta, Homes In Partnership has used $270,000 in AHP funds for the construction of single-family units designated for low- income households. The Wildwood Park tour will cover areas still in need of redevelopment as well as completed projects in the community's ongoing revital- ization efforts. Homes In Partnership (HIP) is a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization that addresses sub-standard housing and homelessness through part- nerships with families to help. The victims were taken to Leesburg Regional Medical Center where Marishka was pronounced dead. Vickson was treated for injuries and released. Joshua Walsh was arrested days later when police dis- covered the vehicle and shot- gun at his residence. The defense argued 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 was State Attorney Brad King, who said there was "enough stupidity to go around for everyone" in this case, and that the only two people with- out control in the matter build their own houses in a self-help program.. Their alliance includes financial resources at the Federal, State and Local lev- els to help families obtain affordable mortgages with adjustable payments. The organization partners with the state of Florida, Sumter County, USDA, FHLBank Atlanta, banks and other entities to build stronger communities. It also provides mortgage and credit counseling to fam- ilies. FHLBank Atlanta is a $135 billion financial services organization that provides low-cost financing, communi- ty development grants, and other banking services to nearly 1,200 financial institu- tions in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. FHLBank Atlanta is one of 12 district banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which since 1990 has contributed more than $1.7 billion to affordable housing development in the United States. 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 punishment. 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- der to aggravated child abuse to not being charged He w\as sentenced to six months' pro- bation. il RESIDENTIAL 6o0 GALLON .- SET & FILL Prices good 100 GALLON thru 8/31/05 SET & FILL SPECIAL TANK SETS - $7900 $ 090oo PAR-GAS, INC.

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 2005, PAGE 11 Pro wrestling at the fairgrounds Ci TrCHATTER - ROBIN EDDINS Times Correspondent The Community Building at the Sumter County Fairgrounds was transformed last Saturday into an arena. Full Impact Professional Wrestling was in the ring. "Heatstroke 2005" was per- formed before a crowded audience of men, women and children. The crowd enjoyed the moves of many of their favorite wrestlers. The "Heartbreak Express" in their hot pink costumes with a combined weight of 535 pounds spent more time antagonizing the audience than actually wrestling in the ring. Fabulous Phil and Superstar Sean whose back- side even makes the state- ment, "You're just jealous" where both irked by their loss. CM Punk performed his last match on Saturday before moving his talent over to the WWE. Ace Steel took on Samoa Joe in a match that appeared to have Steel the clear aggres- sor at first Steel seemed to have found all of Samoa Joe's weaknesses and took advan- tage of each and every one of them. However, during a trick maneuver Ace got caught upside down in the corner ropes and Samoa Joe made a comeback Even Samoa Joe's manager took a shot at Steel when the referee wasn't look- ing. Samoa Joe dove off the ropes in time to catch Steel's Beanie needs a good home Gavin Weaver, 7, and Connor Stephens, 8, of Webster, and Brooks Gonyo of Bushnell watch the FIP Wrestling last Saturday at the fairgrounds. foot on his chin but Steel was worn out and lost the match. Spanky and Sal Rinauro took on Jimmy Rave and "Fast" Eddie Vegas in the Tag Team Championship. Spanky spent quite a bit of time out- side the ring yelling at the ref- eree as his opponents seemed to be tagging each other fre- quently but preventing his partner Sal from getting close enough to tag Spanky. At one point Sal was tossed high into the air taking out three ceil- ing tiles in the process before he landed with a belly flop onto the mat. Despite the das- tardly deeds of their oppo- nents Sal and Spanky were. able to turn the tables and claim the coveted belts as champions. FIP Wrestling will be returning to the Sumter Fairgrounds in the Cow Palace in September and October. Beanie is an adorable lit- tle rat terrier mix, with a very sweet personali- ty. She is 8 months old and weighs 15 pound. Beanie is very playful, and loves lots of toys. After play- time, she will curl up with you and snuggle by your side. Beanie is house- trained, current on her vaccinations, and spayed. If you are looking for a playful com- panion, Beanie is the girl for you.

Beanie is one of the lucky animals that made it out of Animal Control alive. The sad truth is that the majority of animals that go to the county's outdated facility are eutha- nized. Opening the public's eyes to the conditions at Animal Control will hopefully let the County Commissioners know that we, the citizens of Sumter County, are ashamed of the deteriorated conditions that exist there. A new building can be built with the $400,000 allocated to Animal Control, alleviating some of the overcrowding conditions that now exist The beauty of a new facility is that it will meet today's standards and codes, and it can be added onto as the need arises. So my question to the Commissioners is: "Will you be pro- active and build an Animal Control facility that meets the standards of the Florida Animal C o ntr o l Association, or will you waste our tax IDA dollars and add on VES to the sub-standard building that now exists?" But the problem of over- crowding in Animal Control is two-fold. Sumter citizens need to take responsibility for the animal overpopulation problems we continually experience. Everyone who allows their unaltered dogs or cats to wander the streets, continually giving birth to unwanted litters, should go to Animal Control and watch so many healthy and innocent animals being euthanized each week If we believe that Beanie is an adorable little rat terrier mix, with a very sweet personality. She is 8 months old and weighs 15 pound all life is precious, then how can we not care that thou- sands of animals are being killed in our county? The sim- ple answer to the animal over- population problem is to have your pets spayed and neutered! With a low cost spay/neuter clinic in our county, and in surrounding counties, there is no reason for animals to keep having lit- ter after litter of animals that are doomed to die. When we ask our County Commissioners to act respon- sibly, they should in turn expect the same from the pub- lic. GET IT DONE. INSTANTLY. I Only Nextel has the tools you need to get more done.

First and fore- most, you have to make the show. With 30-plus cars regis- tering to race every Saturday night in the division, quali- fying into the show is crucial. Second, you have to be competitive. A total of 71 different competitors have attempted to make BOLL at least one of 14 Hobby Stock fea- ture events. The third is probably the most important You have to be aggressive, yet cautious as you maneuver through a full field of 24 cars. And that's where Bill Ryan fits in. "I'd say I'm. cautiously aggressive," said Bill Ryan, driver of the No. 33 Hobby Stock racecar. "We're very competitive." But when a driver is points' racing they can't be as aggres- sive, and Ryan knows the risks. "You have .to get through most of the traffic to get to the big boys and that's where you really have to watch it," he said. "One slip and 'you're in the back again." Luckily for Ryan, he's been able to go from the back to the front on a consistent basis. "It's a huge thing to be able to do that," he said. By his own admission he's caught up in the points, and that means that he has to make it to the front of the field. "Sometimes you'll take a second or third instead of pushing it for the win, but I still want to win every race," Ryan said. There have only been six different winners so far this season. Corky Miley tops the list with four wins, Curtis Flanagan and James Batson each have .three, Tommy Smith has two, Ryan and Herb Hoefler have one. Two of those drivers, Miley and Smith, were recently sus- pended from competition indefinitely. "We lost a couple of really good driv- ers," said Ryan. "The better drivers you race against the better you become." Despite their departure from the local racing scene, the field is not at a loss for competi- Elm tion. INGER 'A few guys are ...... almost there," he said making specif- ic note of John Zuidema and Herb Hoefler. "It's just a matter of getting their cars right" Ryan's focus for the remain- ing 13 events is on finishing races and finishing up front, and perhaps a few more wins to his credit To date he's scored one win, 11 top 3s, six top 5s, and one top 10. Ryan moved to the top of the division's points list four weeks into the 2005 season. His lead has been anywhere from 28 points to 118. Last week's fourth-place fin- ish stretched Ryan's lead to 118 over Curtis Flanagan, who finished tenth. James Batson, John Zuidema and Jay Witfoth round out the top five com- petitors in the division. "If I could get a top 3 or top 5 every week I think I'll be hard to beat," he said of his run for a points' championship. But he knows the conse- quences of being aggressive on the racetrack "I could easily be caught if I have any problems," he said. "I have to try to be level-head- ed and take care of the car. We've been real lucky so far. There have been seven times that could have put us out of the race, but things have hap- pened during practice or on Thursday night and we've been able to get (the car) fixed before we had to race." Edward Jones sets seminar If anyone deserved the checkered flag Saturday night it was the track officials, crew and fans at Citrus County Speedway. General Manager Don Cretty and his crew were determined to get the night's program in without incident despite constant interrup- tions from Mother Nature. Rain showers came and went throughout the evening delaying the afternoon prac- tice sessions, washing out any attempts at qualifying, and splitting the Hobby Stock fea- ture into two races. And when one would think the show should be called off due to the inclement weather, the sky would clear, the track would dry and the next event would head into competition. "With the cooperation of the drivers and the coopera- tion of my staff, everyone went the extra mile to get it all in," Cretty said after the last checkered flag was thrown. The fans, well, they really showed how dedicated to Saturday night racing in Citrus County they are. With umbrellas open and their raingear on not too many peo- ple left the stands or headed to their cars. With the few hundred oth- ers sitting in the stands, those dedicated fans toughed it out to the very end. "They came to see a race and were willing to stick it out," Cretty said. "I'm glad we got it in for them." And what a racing program they got to see! In an all-feature action show, Legends Cars, Outlaw Modifieds, Late Models, Thunder Stocks, Hobby Stocks, 4-cylinder Bombers and the Super Stock 50 sorted through muddy pits and a sometimes-slick racetrack to compete. Early winners included Kory Abbot (Legends Cars), Raymond Jones (Outlaw Modifieds), Curtis Flanagan (Hobby Stocks) and Rusty Adams (4-cylinder Bombers). Tom Posavec landed the Super Stock 50 race, his first of the season, over Travis Nichols, Scott Hendrickson, Phillip Rook and Rob Perry, Mike Loudy topped the Thunder Stock feature with Dennis Sanderson, Michael Bocija, Louie Coie and Mike Dubbs following in respective order at the finish. Raymond Lovelady collect- ed his second Late Model win this season after early race leader Dale Sanders devel- oped problems with his race- car as the field neared the John Mason Tractor, Inc.

In July, the company approached the city during a workshop with plans for a 1,100-acre mine and 50-acre cement plant on land that was purchased in May. Representatives from Sumter Cement Company, LLC, which is owned by the same companies as Suwannee-American Cement in Branford, presented coun- cil members with information about plans for mining, cement manufacturing, and intentions to annex the entire 1,400-plus acre property, most of which is currently improved pasture, into the city. The workshop drew a rela- tively large crowd, and though there was no opportunity for public input at the workshop, some of the same individuals attended a city council meet- ing about two weeks later. Resident Leroy Smith brought his concerns about the plant and mine to the city during the public comment portion of a regular meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 2. He told council members he believes the city is growing too rapidly. "We do not need any more industry, we do not need more truck traffic," he said, refer- ring to the likelihood of more traffic coming into the area due to a proposed 250-acre RV park the city agreed to annex this year. "I know the (cement) com- pany paints a pretty picture, but we can't be expected to believe that the quality of life will not be impacted in the surrounding areas," he said, and questioned why the coun- cil would consider accepting it into the city. Council members did not respond to Smith's comments, except to say "thank you," and they did not discuss the mine or cement plant at the meet- ing. Before last Tuesday's meet- ing, City Clerk Diane Lamb said the company has not offi- cially submitted any propos- als to the city yet Also at the meeting, one council member proposed set- ting stricter'guidelines about where convicted sex offend- ers are allowed to live. J.R. Smith told the council he would like the city to do what other cities have done regard- ing the issue, which is to restrict how close sex offend- ers will be allowed to live to areas normally occupied by high numbers of children, including school bus stops and parks. Smith said he would like the limit to be set at 2,500 feet by the city with a new ordinance. He said currently, there are two registered sex offenders with Center Hill addresses who live outside the city, and none known to live inside. Panasoffkee gains medical center AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer Although the building that formerly housed Bean's fur- niture store on County Road 470 in Lake Panasoffkee has been empty for quite some time, a Hernando-based healthcare company has breathed new life into it by opening a new medical office there. And since the commu- nity no longer has a medical care provider, the timing couldn't be better. The company itself has 10 physicians and medical offices in Springhill, Brooksville, Beverly Hills, and Hudson. As well as fami- ly practice doctors, there are chiropractors, physician assistants, a podiatrist, and an infectious disease special- ist. Three of the physicians who practice in Lake Panasoffkee are family med- ical doctors Vincent Alia, Jatin Sheth, and Podiatrist Jude-Farley Pierre. Nurse Practitioner Sylvia Photo by Amanda Mims The medical staff at Access Healthcare in Lake Panasoffkee has been seeing new patients there since the office opened in June.

Letts, who is based in the Lake Panasoffkee office, said the company chose the com- munity for its new location because of the lack of med- ical care in the area. "We heard there was a great need for medical offices in this area," she said. Letts, a nurse practitioner of 25 years, said the office has been open since June and they've been seeing patients for reasons common in the summertime from swim- mer's ear to school physical. The main part of the build- ing has been remodeled to accommodate two identical offices approximately 3.000- square feet in area. Each side has four exam rooms, but right now\\ they're only using one of those offices. -Letts said they hope to grow and expand into the second half in the future. Because there have been other doctors to come into the area and leave again, Letts' said she is reassuring patients the company plans to operate a medical officer there permanently. "We're not going anywhere. We're definitely here to stay." Letts said one benefit of being an Access Healthcare patient is that fees for those without medical insurance are reduced. Although they do not accept Medicaid insurance, they do accept Medicare and other health insurance plans. The office can be contacted at (352) 793- 1140. Due to the generosity of many Wildwood merchants in donating items for the annual Chinese auction, the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 219 of Fruitland Park has been able to donate $400'I worth of school supplies to North Sumter Primary, North Sumter Intermediate, Wildwood Middle, and Wildwood High Schools. Wendy Coats and Susan Saunders were the co-chairs of the Chinese Auction Committee. North Sumter Intermediate School received school supplies the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 219 of Fruitland Park raised through a Chinese auction.

It is now August and the temperature for the last few days has been up near a ... scalding 100 s= degrees. I truly believe this has to be one of the hottest summers in , my memory and it - appears as of today that there is no relief iinslight. To make matters even worse, I saw on the mi TV the other night JAMIEt where the experts Outdoo said we may be in line to get even more hurricanes this summer that we endured this past year. Hot as it has been and possi- ble hurricanes on the way, deer season is just around the corner. The season will start here in Florida around Labor ir Day for bow hunters and will pretty mush continue on up until January, and in a few cases, out in the Panhandle, muzzle loading hunting season will be even longer. The deer harvest B was off consider- ably here in Florida as well as in most of the neighboring Southeastern states this past season and there is one school of thought that it may have been due .to all the hurri- canes. ADAMS I personally don't r Writer have a clue as to why hurricanes might have anything to do with the number of deer taken in a given season but some experts are touting that theory. For my part, I had a pretty decent season but then I am not one of those hunters who has to get a big trophy buck each season to feed my ego. I really would just as soon take a few deer in the 100-pound class because that is the best eating size and I do enjoy a good mess of deer meat ever so often. Sure I like to take those big old trophy horned bucks from time to time if the opportunity comes around, but I have killed a bunch of big deer over the years and I doubt that I will get to many more chances to get many more bigger bucks than the good one I already have mounted and hanging on the wall. A lot of deer hunters I know are serious horn hunters and that is fine, but for a lot of us, putting meat in the freezer is the main thing. I do a lot of hunting in Alabama and Florida and the deer season and limits in both states are very liberal. In Georgia the limit on antlerless deer is 10, which all have to be does except one. Also in Georgia, a hunter is only allowed to take a couple of bucks and one of those has to have at least four points on one side. There is no tagging system in Georgia, Alabama or Florida, so the hunter's conscious must be their guide. Many deer hunters from the northern states are shocked to find out that here in Flroida there is no limit at all on deer. In fact, if a hunter should so desire and be extremely lucky, he or she could start killing two deer a day in September and then take two deer a day up until mid January. Of course no hunter is actually going to be able to do this, but theoretical- ly it is conceivable within the existing FWC rules and regula- tions. I am heading out for Georgia this weekend to check out the camp and put a little feed out. It is legal to feed deer in Georgia but you sure had bet- ter not get caught hunting any- where near any bait once the season opens. We put corn out to supplement the native feed during the summer, but a cou- ple of weeks before the season starts, we quit putting any more feed out. Really, you don't have to feed deer at this time because by the start of deer season the acorns have started to drop and deer would really rather have the native feed other than the corn anyhow. Feeding the deer does have several advantages and the main one is to keep the deer on your property. Most of the hunting clubs in Georgia, and practically everywhere else for that matter, supplement the deer with feeding programs and if you don't join in the practice, you will more than likely find that the deer may be on property other than what you are paying big bucks to hunt. The other thing about feed- ing deer is that it does increase the size of the deer as far as body weight goes and from all that I have read there should be bigger antlers on the bucks as well. We also plant a few food plots so the deer can have a good supplement of green veg- etation during the winter. For the most part we plant rye, wheat and oats, which do not get killed off come the first hard frost. The trick to having good winter food plots is not to spare the fertilizer. Deer are attracted to food plots that have nitrogen-rich plants. So to have good food plots deer will come to, don't skimp on the fertilizer. Anyway, it is just a little over a month before archery season opens here in Florida and I sure hope a little cool air will come with it. I am sure tired of these long hot days.
