Established 1881 SUMTER COUNTY INSIDE Calendar ............. 11 Church ............... 5 Obituaries ............6 Police Report ..........3 Tidbits ..............26 THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 20051 SPCA seeks homes for cats, 119 taken from home Photo by Amanda Mims Eight cats out of 119 removed from a single residence have been saved by the Humane Society and will be put up for adoption. Most of the cats, however, were euthanized. AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer Since last week, Animal Control removed 119 cats from a Sumterville residence after receiving an anonymous tip concerning a foul odor emit- ting from the home of James Turley, 79, and 62-year-old Martha Turley. Since then, most of the cats have been destroyed, accord- ing to Animal Control Supervisor John Hezlep. He said cats were eutha- nized according to recommen- dations of the veterinarian who examined them. Most of the animals had a combina- tion of feline leukemia, upper respiratory problems, or ring- worm, but they were all fed well, Hezlep said. Eight cats were saved and are now in the care of the Sumter County Humane Society, where volunteers are working to find permanent homes for them. Animal Control workers and county law enforcement offi- cers first responded to the tip about the County Road 543A home on Aug. 16, but the Turleys were not home at the time, according to Lt. Bobby. Caruthers of the Sumter Sheriff's Office. He said officers were able to make contact with them by telephone, and they met at the residence, where the Turleys seemed "upset," and said they'd been taking in stray cats since 1996. "They admitted they were in need of assistance," Caruthers said, but didn't seek help because they were afraid the animals would be put to sleep.

Brown-Waite and other citizens including Webster Mayor Stephen Croft rode a bus provided by the Wildwood United Methodist Church and driven by it- Pastor Harry Holloman. The bus toured Wildwood Park and its homes in various stages of development from ready to move in to bare ground. The interested citi- zens and members of HIP and other governmental agencies were able to see first hand how these homes can help improve the area. The tour also included what a HIP representative called *blighted areas' that are also planned tor upgrading and impro iements.

That delay was also the request of County Attorney Randall Thornton who was unable to attend Tuesday's required second hearing of the ordinance. Terry Neal, county land-use attorney, relayed his request along with comments on some of the language in the rules- to the board. The draft ordinance before the board would establish land rules for "Class I" land- fills, those handling a broad h f spectrum of household an Cable cut results in phone outage for 27,000 BoB REICHMAN Editor About 27,000 Sprint cus- tomers were without tele- phone and other communica- tion services for about five hours last Thursday when a fiber optic line was cut. The line was damaged in Citrus County by a road crew working in Inverness, accord- ing to Nanci Schwartz, Sprint communication manager. The outage impacted customers in Sumter, Citrus and Marion counties. "It was a very large outage," Schwartz said. "Our crews had to dig about 10 feet to find the damaged fiber line." The outage started about noon on Aug. 18 with service completely.restored by about 5:30 p.m., Schwartz said. Some limited service began being restored about 4:30 p.m. For customers, it meant not being able to receive or make some telephone calls, she said. It also interrupted Internet service to customers using high-speed connection lines and some service for cellular telephone customers. About 1,000 high-speed Internet connection cus- tomers were affected, Schwartz said. The loss of service ham- pered some work at the Sumter County Courthouse but no major problems arose from the outage, according to County Administrator Bernard Dew. Dew said county offices could not receive some local telephones calls nor could they receive calls from Nextel cellular phone cus- tomers. Internet service was also interrupted for several hours, id he said. While county 911 emer- gency phones were working, in-house phones in the Sumter County Sheriff's Office were inoperative for several hours, said sheriff's Lt Bobby Caruthers. "We were able to work it out," he said. "While we did- n't have phone to phone com- munication, officers were able .to communicate by using walkee talkees," he said. commercial solid waste. It contains provisions for such things as landfill setbacks to homes, private and public wells and surface water, liner requirements, monitoring wells and groundwater test- ing. Commissioners on Tuesday were reviewing proposed changes to the draft and were in agreement on most of them. In the original version, landfills would have to be at least a half-mile from any res- idence. There was general agreement to change that to a half-mile setback if the resi- dence is "down-gradient" (in terms of ground water flow) and a quarter mile if the resi- dence is "up-gradient." Similarly, they tended to agree for the same stipula- tions for setbacks to private or public wells and regional water system. - Please see LANDFILTI Page 2 4 ,.

One wants to go into the med- ical field. Some want to work crime scenes but they all need you. They're students at South Sumter High School in need of mentors for their Take Stock in Children scholar- ships. Just 30 minutes of your time a week can help make the difference between a high school student and a col- lege graduate. "We're in desperate need of mentors for South Sumter High School," said Take Stock mentor/advocate Sabrina Hubbell. While the need is substantial at South Sumter, the organization was fortunate this year they have all their mentors for Wildwood High School. Take Stock in Children puts together funds to supply two plus two college scholar- ships to students. That's two years in a Florida community college and then two years in a Florida university. The scholarship, valued at LANDFILL continued from Page 1 Commissioner Jim Roberts argued that requiring a mini- mum half mile setback in either situation was not pose an unreasonable hardship on a landfill developer. Another draft provision required a 400-foot setback to any adjoining property. After hearing requests from engineers and consultants, the board was considering changing that to 400-foot for residential property and a 100-foot setback from indus- trial, commercial, wastewater treatment plant or similar property. Commission Chairman Joey Chandler raised his concern about the potential flow of customers to a commercial property and asked that it be kept at 400 feet. Commissioner Michael Francis added his support to maintaining the greater set- back for commercial. The board also responded to engineer and consultant comments from the first of the ordinance hearings and agreed that double 60-mil lin- ers would be required for landfill cells. They also agreed to drop 'a requirement for routine "split sampling" of groundwater. Instead opting to require split sampling only when- regular sampling shows a problem. There might still be some debate to come over provi- sions of the ordinance for dealing with claims. Thornton had included notes asking for modification of some language, including a required 24-hour time frame for the developer or county to determine the validity of any claim. Governments can rarely resolve much of anything in 24 hours, Neal said, Thornton was also con- cerned that some of the lan- guage "almost creates a pre- sumption of wrongdoing by the landfill operator." Part of that was a reference to a "landfill facility has dam- aged the landowner's ground- water or well, or otherwise polluted the land." Thornton asked what "con- Unlimited Hours.

Students still have to pay for lab fees, books, room and board, etc. "Because some of these students are first-time high school graduates in their families," she said, having a mentor focus on them could have a tremendous effect. "Mentoring can make all the difference." For example, one student nearly lost his scholarship because he didn't have a mentor. Dealing with family prob- lems, he was trying to be sup- portive to others, but there was no one for him to turn to, so he began feeling trapped and started missing school. There was another teenag- er who had a decent job and an opportunity to make some good money if she quit school and took a promotion. Her mentor provided her with basic cost of living infor- mation and showed her some figures she opted to stay in school. Mentors are asked to spend anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour on campus with the student each week. As for mentors and what to share with the students, "One statutes otherwise polluting the land." Commissioners agreed to drop that "otherwise" part and leave the reference sim- ply to groundwater. Thornton also noted con- cerns that some provisions of the rule might place the coun- ty in the role of arbitrator between a landfill developer and neighboring property owners. But, Development Services Director Robbie Rogers said that the county as the per- mitting agency should "go to' bat for the property owner, "It could be a severe situa- tion" for an affected property owners, she said. Roberts agreed. "Many citi- zens could not afford an attor- ney to fight it." Commissioner Richard Hoffman also agreed. "Wouldn't this be similar to a mine that was not living up standards," he asked. "This is different," Neal said. "The county could award damages." Francis and Hoffman expressed the general senti- ment of the board: leave that section of the code as it is. Comments from citizens included Bert Kunstler's criti- cism of the reduced setbacks and the change to 60-mil instead of 100-mil polymer liners. Jack Bratton'suggested that the board not act until they had considered "plasma con- version," a process that he claimed would get rid of the waste and provide hydrogen fuel for county vehicles. "We've tried a lot of things over the past ten years," Chandler said. "This board cannot afford to experiment" When that technology is shown to be feasible and is accepted by the industry, then the county could consider it, he said. thing we say is share life experiences with them. If you had a hard time growing up, share it so they under- stand," they can get past sim- ilar problems in their own life and move on, Hubbell said. Or. if the mentor and the student have the same career interest, that's good informa- tion for sharing. "We do have a training and mentor tool kit for each men- tor," she said. The kit includes activities that the student and mentor can do together, as well as timelines for students from grades 9 through 12 on what classes they need. One activity is a getting-to- know-you activity, where the student and mentor put down their hobbies, their likes and dislikes and then compare. There's even information about financial aid and career exploration. Hubbell said the guidance counselor is at the school to help direct the student in that area, but the information is available to the mentor. Hubbell said she believes just about every parent wants their child to have a better life than they had.

The University of Central Florida wants to Thank the more than 100 Sumter County African American male youth, ages 12-19, who par- ' ticipatedin a summer research study, examining their resilience and their awareness of citizenship practices. Preliminary findings suggest that the majority of the youth have strong levels of resil- iency and that they have signifi- cant awareness of citizenship practices. It is also evident from the project they have employment and educational achievement as .desired goals. Appreciation is given to local churches, families, and community officials who made this research accessible to our African American male youth. Their future is our future in this county. Mentoring can help in numerous ways, from help- ing to build a foundation of basic values to challenging students to accept responsi- bilities and build self-esteem. Students who have men- tors are 52 percent less likely to skip school, 46 percent less likely to start using drugs, 33 percent less likely to hit someone and 10 percent more likely to be promoted. Mentors gain too through personal growth, developing new skills and more. Students are looking for several things in a mentor a person who is caring and keeps in touch regularly, a person who listens and sets a good example and a person who shares life's experiences and follows through on prom- ises. And while Take Stock is still looking for mentors for current students, they'll be selecting new students as recipients and will eventual- ly need mentors for them too. They must have a mentor to be awarded a scholarship, she said. Love to help a South Sumter student become a college graduate? Contact Hubbell at 787-6497.

The officer told the man to come outside with him. When the men left the busi- ness, Markland was arrested. X-Mart has been the target of a number of undercover investigations since the busi- ness first opened last sum- mer To date, six people have been arrested in connection with undercover operations at the business, Caruthers said. "We will continue with these investigations as long as there's crime being commit- ted," he said . FoaRmax (Gemneric)i 70mm Once in the home, Caruthers said law enforce- ment and animal control offi- cers found countertops, cabi- nets, and floors covered in cat feces and urine. Flies swarmed through the home, there were numerous litter boxes, and two plastic children's swimming pools being used as litter boxes, Caruthers said. Officers also discovered several dead cats in the cou- ple's freezer. The Turleys said the cats died and they were keeping them there until they could be buried, Caruthers said. About 90 cats were taken from the home on the first day, and for about a week, animal control workers were trapping the outdoor cats on the property. The number of cats captured had increased to 119 by Monday, but several more were believed to remain on the 5-acre proper- ty. Hezlep, who has worked for animal control for 15 years, said in cases of over- crowding, it's usually with cats. "We've encountered sever- al (similar cases), but none of- them have been as bad as this is." Most of the cats lived inside the home. Caruthers said the couple acted with good intentions. "At this time the (Turleys) need help themselves," he said, and the two were expe- riencing .their own health problems. The home was apparently deemed not suitable for the Turleys to live in, and they were forced to leave and stay with a relative. A sheriff's department investigation will be followed with a review by the state attorney's office, but Caruthers said there seemed Build your new storage building or workshop for less! * Specializing in all aspects of pre-engineered metal buildings. * Commerical grade * Personalized service " Total building package installed by our crews * Locally owned & operated .' over 15 years General Contractors & Steel Erectors..e 352447-3558 'TollF*ee 877447,3632"Inglia, Fl UMI': B: pAA 12 tabs 68$ 80 $108 17 Upitor (Brand) 10m0 90 tabs $176.28 $31.79 Zocor (Generic) 20mg 100 tabs $170.79 $247.21 *Al prices are in US dollars and are subject to change.

As for the remaining eight cats, Sheri Evans of the Sumter County Humane Society said without a shel- ter, she hopes to find homes for the cats soon.

Letters have been sent to 425 people outside the City of Wildwood requesting volun- tary annexation, and a meet- ing to explain benefits to property owners is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. at the Wildwood Community Center. The meeting "will let (own- ers) know what annexation process is and how it will affect them," and let them decide if they want to annex, said Growth Development Coordinator Robert Smith. City leaders see the annex- ation as an opportunity to gain wealth through the 4.7 mill property tax owners will be paying in addition to coun- ty taxes, as well as revenue from utilities. Enticing A meeting to explain benefits to property own- ers is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. at the Wildwood Community Center. landowners are new zoning choices and opportunities for city water and sewer hookups. However, city water and sewer hookup are not required immediately under the annexation; property owners may choose not to use those services, but only until the property changes hands. Owners also have a choice of changing zoning to com- mercial or recently created "mixed use" category when they annex new land into the city, which could potentially increase the value of the property. According to Mayor Ed Wolf, any annexation is volun- tary. A portion of the proposed annexation will include a 99- acre development communi- ty called Lake Andrew Preserve, which will include 75 residential units and some commercially zoned property. According to Smith, proper- ty owners have agreed to annex 500 acres already. The roughly 1700-acre annexation proposal the city agreed to this year is current- ly being reviewed by the state Department of Community Affairs in Tallahassee. Smith said the city is currently 5.2- square miles in area, and will grow to 7.8, pending DCA approval of the annexation being reviewed. The city will be able to better estimate what the new annexation pro- posal might mean in size after next Monday's meeting, Smith said. / Photo by Amanda Mims Frank Arenas, owner of the FreeFlight Airport in Coleman, is planning the First Annual Advocating for Kids Airfest to benefit the Sumter Guardian ad Litem program, which advocates for neglected, abused, and abandoned children involved in custody court cases.

Bob Reichman Publisher .................. Gerry Mulligan General Manager/Sales Manager... Alan Place 204 E. McCollum Ave. Bushnell, FL 33513 Member Florida Press Association Our County must solve stray problem W e need a better solution to Sumter County's unwant- ed stray population and the inadequate conditions the county provides for stray animals and discarded pets. Nothing drives that message home better than the sad incident that happened in Sumterville last week. More than 100 cats had to be destroyed after they were found at the home of a Sumterville couple. The animals were destroyed for several reasons. Most importantly, some of the cats were destroyed because they were found to have illnesses. But many of these cats probably had to be destroyed because there is absolutely nowhere to house them. Granted, this is an unusual situ- ation. But nonetheless, it does drive home the point that the county isn't very well prepared to take on any emergency animal- related problems. The county only has cages for about 30 cats. That's it. Once the cages are filled, there's no place for these strays to go unless they are, fortunate enough to be res- cued by local organizations like the Humane Society. According to reports from local authorities, the Sumterville cou- ple that was housing the cats was doing the best they could for the animals. Unfortunately, the number of cats kept growing to the point that the couple could not provide ade- quate care for the animals. At the same time, they apparent- ly knew what fate was in store for these cats if the county became involved. What a double-edged sword. Sometimes, people can have big hearts when it comes to stray ani- mals. It's difficult to stand by with- out helping a hungry dog or a homeless cat. Sometimes, they can have compassion that goes beyond their ability to provide care. That seems to be the case with this couple. But this Sumterville case isn't the only one that the county has dealt with. There have been other cases where residents have taken in too many strays and their good inten- tions have ended sadly While the county will always have more stray animals than it can contend with, we do believe it's time that county leaders, espe- cially the County Commission, considers ways of upgrading and improving its Animal Control services and facility. Limited shelter facilities only add more problems to this type of situation and inadequate funding by the county will never help alle- viate these types of problems. Preparing for any disaster "We want every individual, family, and household to be prepared for any disas- ter," said Dan Roll, manager for the Florida's Coast to Coast Cliapter of the American Red Cross, that encompasses Citrus, Hernando, Lake, Sumter, Marion, Flagler, and Volusia counties. In a nationwide effort to encourage people to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses and schools, the American Red Cross and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security are co-sponsoring National Preparedness Month 2005 this September The goal of National Preparedness Month is to increase public awareness about the importance of preparing for emergencies and to encourage individu- als to take action. Recently, the two organizations met in Washington, D.C. to discuss this joint effort emergency plan and to gather information about differ- ent threats, as well as suggest how to get the community involved. The initiative will officially launch with a public emer- gency preparedness fair on Sept. 1, in Washington. "We have planned community events and activities," Roll said, "that will focus on the key steps to being prepared." Those are: Make a plan Encourage family mem- bers to design a Family Disaster Plan. Know where you plan to go should you need to evacuate your home. Build a kit Households are encour- aged to gather enough emergency sup- plies to meet their needs for at least three days. The kit should include water, ready to eat canned 'goods (tuna fish, peanut butter, juices) battery-powered radio, flashlight, and plenty of extra bat- teries. Get trained People should get first aid, CPR training, and attend Community Disaster Education presen- tations. Volunteer Give your time through volunteering. Contact your local Red Cross office to register (See editor's note) Give blood Become a regular and fre- .quent blood donor to ensure a blood sup- ply that meets all needs, all of the time. About the American Red Cross The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbors - across the street, across the country, and across the world in emergencies. Each year, in communities large and small, victims of some 70,000 disasters turn to neighbors familiar and new-the nearly 1 million volunteers and 35,000 employees of the Red Cross. Through almost 900 locally supported chapters, more than. 15 million people .gain the skills they need to prepare for and respond to emergencies in their homes, communities and world. Some 4 million people give blood-the gift of life-through the Red Cross, making it the largest sup- plier of blood and blood platelets in the United States. The Red Cross helps thousands of U.S. service members separated from their families by military duty stay connected. As part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, a global network of 181 national societies, the Red Cross helps restore hope and digni- ty to the world's most vulnerable people. An average of 91 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs. The Red Cross is not a government agency; it relies on donations of time, money, and blood to do its work' Marsha J. Evans President and CEO American Red Cross .'

I am shocked and outraged that no one is responsible for the death of this beautiful little girl. Although, in my opinion, black and white has a lot to do with this; it's not the primary issue. The issue is that in the midst of these people's madness a kid was shot and killed. Yet there is no one to blame except the father for child abuse. .The shooter walks. A father should know not to put his family in such danger, and if he didn't know, he knows now, because for his actions were consequences. For him major consequences, the loss of a child, and minor conse- quences. probation, which is .hard- ly enough for putting his family in such danger. So he is sentenced hum? Yet, the man who pulled the trig- ger is free. How is this possible? Morally how is this right? A stray bullet has no name, no age, no color, and even if this guy was not guilty of murder, say he had no intention of hurting or killing any- one, firing a bullet into somebody's car is not a crime these days? If it's not murder that he was guilty of, then what is he guilty of? It's all right to fire shots inside of another person's car as long as your intent is not to kill but to hurt or scare someone? Justice did not prevail in this case. (For the little girl.) I am disap- pointed in the judge and the jurors for not seeing this case for what it really was murder. If not murder, something, any- thing, but not nothing. A little girl was killed and nobody is responsi- ble for pulling the trigger Way to go Sumter County. Jessica Williams Bushnell The self-proclaimed men of faith Imagine, for a moment, that Jesus had been born to become the pres- ident of the United States instead of the king of the Jews. What sort of policies would Jesus have support- ed? Four things come to mind. Repeatedly, Jesus did whatev- er he could to help those who were poor: who were handicapped, who were socially excluded. Jesus sided with the people who chose the option of peace, and he refused to join the zealots who wanted to resist and fight the Romans. Jesus worked actively to pro- mote change rather than to main- tain the status quo; specifically, he worked to change the rules about who could serve as high priests and the rules about the roles that Gentiles and women could play in religious activities. Jesus objected to selling reli- gious salvation for money;, what would he have thought about sell- ing religious and political influ- ence for money? How can it be that so many of our self-proclaimed "men of faith" do not preach and act as Jesus did? Richard Morrill Bushnell Thanks for the support The Sumter Dixie Boys Baseball team would like to express their heartfelt thanks to everyone who generously sponsored our team during the State and World Series Tournaments. Numerous Sumter County citi- zens and businesses supported our efforts at the Florida State Dixie Boys Tournament in Sebring, Florida. The team placed second in the 13-year-old division and went on to compete in the Dixie Baseball World Series in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Sumter County and the State of Florida were well repre- sented at the World Series Tournament Our players will carry the memo- ries of this wonderful summer with them for the rest of their lives. As Coach Brian Simmons said, "These boys have accomplished something that only a small per- centage of young players ever do. We are extremely proud of them and grateful to all of the individuals and businesses that helped make this possible. Without the support of our community we would never have been able to make it this far." Thank you Sumter County. Sumter Dixie Boys Baseball Senior ADVOCATE Legislation's legalese makes for difficult wading SDan, you often write about vari- ous proposed policy legislation. I was just wondering where you find your information. When you men- tion a proposed law, I have difficulty finding it. Also, why can't I, find it on various Web search engines, especial- ly the new medical malpractice legis- lation?" SA.: It is quite unfortunate that we have far too many lawyers in Congress. I do not believe that our Founding Fathers were predominant- ly lawyers; although, in 1787, many were involved in various industrial and agriculture businesses. Many of them held official state positions. Again, this was not their primary busi- ness. This was a tradition of true pub- lic service, and totally altruistic. Today, we are faced with a Congress of those who prefer to hold on to their seat forever; again, most come from the legal profession. Our language has significantly changed since the founding of this nation. Their language was of a differ- ent culture, and had many misuses of grammar and spelling. It was a lan- guage that was intended for most new Americans to comprehend. I believe that the reader is ques- tioning my recent reference to H.R. 5. This act is cited as the "Help Efficient, Accessible, Low-cost, Timely Health care (HEALTH) Act of 2005." What the heck does this mean? Well, the following is what is referred to as the "short summary" of H.R. 5: 1. Effect on health care access and costs Congress finds that our cur- rent civil justice system is adversely affecting patient access to health care services, better patient care and cost- efficient health care, in that the health care liability system is a costly and ineffective mechanism for resolv- ing claims of health care liability and compensating injured patients, and is a deterrent to the sharing of informa- tion among health care professionals which impedes efforts to improve patient safety and quality of care. 2. Effect on interstate commerce - Congress finds that the health care and insurance industries are indus- tries affecting interstate commerce and the health care liability litigation systems existing throughout the United States are activities that affect -interstate commerce by contributing to the high costs of health care and premiums for health care liability insurance purchased by health care system providers. 3. Effect on federal spending Congress finds that the health care liability litigation systems existing throughout the United States have a significant effect on the amount, dis- tribution, and use of Federal funds because of: A. the large number of individuals who receive health care benefits under programs operated or financed by the Federal Government; B. the large number of individuals who benefit because of the exclusion from federal taxes of the amounts spent to provide them with health insurance benefits; and C. the large number of health care providers who provide items or serv- ices for which the federal government makes payments. How much legalese is in the "Help Efficient, Accessible, Low-cost, Timely Health care (HEALTH) Act of 2005," and how do "we the people" understand what ties this bill to feder- al medical malpractice? The Founding Fathers should be rolling over, knowing that Congress is run by the legal profession, and not farmers, industrialists and just plain old common folk who want to serve this. nation without self-aggrandize- ment` This is the proposed law that will soon be on the way to the U.S. Senate. It is interesting that the name of pro- posed legislation can and often does leave the American public clueless. H.R. 5 is no different This is the third consecutive year that such a bill has passed the House. It may help physicians, although it will be in various state and federal courts for years. The reason that I have to oppose this law is because it also gives the same benefits to the pharmaceutical industry.

Grace the dirtS It'fs all in the dirt What I know about growing plants can fill a thimble. So, it's no surprise to me that the cute little yellow flow- ering things I plopped in the dirt under my little something-or-other tree out front aren't doing well. Even the tree, I . half-leafy and half- not, looks like it , needs something, but I don't know what. Our neigh- bors, however, all have lovely garde- NAI nesque areas KENN under their trees and elsewhere. I'm thinking they know a secret. I hadn't even wanted to plant anything, but because what people think governs a lot of what motivates me, I decided it was time to be like the neighbors and grow some- thing other than lizards and weeds in the under-tree area. At the nursery, the nice, helpful salesperson asked what I was looking for. "Plants," I said. "Can you narrow that down?" he asked. "Plants that I don't have to care for." He showed me some junipers, whatever they are, and some yellow and reddish- orange flowery succulent things that he said thrive in the hot sun. He added that the daily afternoon Florida rain is water enough. How perfect is that? I plunked down my money and later plopped them into the holes I dug under the tree, poured out a couple bags of mulch to make it look like I knew what I was doing and figured that was that. The flowery things immedi- ately lost their flowers, but then they came back within a N N "m day or two. This repeated itself for a few months, which suited me just fine. But they've been looking a bit sickly lately and not rebounding like B they were. I'm thinking about planting fake flow- ers. The mainte- nance involved in growing stuff is not my thing. Maybe I have bad dirt. I don't know. Last week at church, the sermon Swas one of Jesus' ICY famous parables 3EDY about dirt and sow- ing seeds and how some dirt allows plants to grow and other dirt doesn't. The dirt represents our hearts, and the seed is the gospel message. The point is: If we want good plants (a fruit- ful life) we need good dirt. The pastor said most people read the parable and think, "I better go home and fix my dirt." They think that having good dirt is a matter of moral- ity, doing religious things and trying hard to be holy and that good dirt looks good on the outside. But the pastor said that's not it. He said good dirt is that which is broken and tilled, and as hearts go, a "good" heart is one that knows its need for God. He said that only God can change the con- dition of our hearts, but that we can go to him and ask him to make our dirt good for the sowing of the gospel message. We can't make our own dirt good by trying. I'd never heard that parable told that way before. It's some- thing to think about. But even before hearing that sermon, and even before my flowering yellow things started looking scraggly - there's some healthy-ish undergrowth, so maybe the witheringness is part of the growing cycle? I had already been thinking about dirt. Actually, I had been think- ing about some deep stuff in my life that I can never write about, not because I don't want to, but because it involves other people's feel- ings. You just can't blab every- thing. Ironically, the things you can't blab are usually the very things that are at the core of your being, the stuff that keeps you awake at night and on your knees in the daytime. But when it involves other people.. .you just can't blab it, and as a writer, it's frustrating to be so confined. So, I tell a lot of my core stuff to the one I call my uncle- dad. He says that the stuff that can't be made public is the good dirt that God uses to grow beautiful flowers. That doesn't help much when it comes to my pitiful- looking flowery yellow things under my tree, but it helps with the other stuff. It helps with understanding and even appreciating the dirt a little better that God himself has broken it up and tilled it with great care. Besides, when people look at a garden, they look at what- ever's growing, not the dirt. But the dirt ... how vital and precious is that broken dirt. Maybe that's the secret.

I Cattlemen elect new officers ROBIN EDDINS Times Correspondent Sumter County Cattleman's Association held its annual election of officers on Saturday, Aug. 20, with about half of the organization's 97 members in attendance. The officers are: Vice President - Gary Revels, Secretary - Delilah Gwaltney, Treasurer - Tammee Martin, State Director Paul Mazak. The past president is Mike Revels. As for the office of presi- dent, an office usually held for a two-year term, a special exception was voted on to allow President David Caruthers to hold the office for an additional year. Caruthers said he was pleased to accept the office for the extra time and looked forward to working with the other offices for the better- ment of the Sumter County Cattleman's Association. President Caruthers said, "It is a pleasure to continue to serve the association and I look forward to the coming year." After a fest of barbecued beef, baked beans and coleslaw in the J. W (Bill) Johnson Pavilion at the Sumter County Fairgrounds, it was voted and decided that $100 would be donated to the John and Ethel Stephens Scholarship Fund. Guest speaker Hal Phillips, president elect of the Florida Cattleman's Association, pro- vided information about how the state organization was helping the cattleman in Florida from successfully eliminating an agricultural sales tax on equipment to doing what they can to work on the issue of property rights and imminent domain. He told the membership that the association is still working on the glitches in the Livestock Assistance pro- gram for those effected by last year's multitude of hurri- canes and how they planned on working to obtain the needed funds. Phillips also informed the attendees that Dow Chemical is releasing a new pesticide called Milestone to help eradicate the Tropical Soda Apple problem. Caruthers says new mem- bers are always welcome and may contact him at 352-303- 4345 for further information. President Elect of the Florida Cattleman's Association was the guest speaker at last Saturday's Sumter County Cattleman's Association Dinner.

South Sumter students join the Marines Only one out of every 10,000 Americans will ever decide to join the armed forces of the US Marines. Yet despite the odds, four from South Sumter High School have decided to take the first step into this organi- zation by taking the oath of Semprefi, Latin for always faithful. Yet upon entrance into the military, three of the four recruits have already been promoted to the rank of pri- vate 1st class due to a back- ground in the ROTC unit. "It's always a good feeling to see your former students decide to pick some respon- sibility and head face first into the most disciplined branch of the military," says Lieutenant Commander Jacobs. "They make me proud knowing that they have come all this way achieving their own personal goals." On Tuesday, Aug. 16, recruiter Staff Sergeant Sheppard arrived at South Sumter in uniform to give a ceremonial appreciation for the courage shown from the recruits. Promoted to the highest ranks possible at this time, it has been unheard of 'to see such a large number of students already sign in, he said. "It really didn't take much to convince the recruits to join this branch, when you find honor and commitment, it's rare, yet at the same time a good reflection on the com- munity," states Sheppard. "I believe they earned a good level of respect from the com- munity, so why not let the community show them that." "I'm really excited about life after high school," said recruit William Young. "I would recommend the mili- tary to anyone, solely for the fact that I don't have to worry about having to pay for col- lege or having to feed my family when I get older. The military can provide security and reliability to me." The recruits all leave for basic training in Paris Island for the 13-week course in July of next year. Lake water levels to be discussed at meeting The next general meeting of TOOFAR, Inc. will be Thursday, Aug. 25, at 7 p.m. at the East Citrus Community Center on S.R. 44, approxi- mately four miles east of Inverness. The speaker this month will be Mike Bartlett of SWFWMD. Bartlett is the man in charge of the struc- tures that control water lev- els in the Tsala Apopka Chain of Lakes, and the flow of water between the Withlacoochee River and the lakes, as well as other struc- tures throughout Southwes- tern Florida. We frequently receive calls from people who do not understand this process, wanting to know why lakes are lowered at times, how long it takes to drop the level of the lakes if a storm event is coming, why Arrowhead gets flooded, why water isn't run down the sinkhole at 2 Mile Prairie to lower the river. Many people think that open- ing the gates at Lake Rousseau would prevent flooding along the river in Citrus County. Find out how the system really works. These issues and others will be discussed. There will be a question and answer period. Anyone interested in local water issues is encouraged to attend. All meetings are free and open to the public. For more information, call TOOFAR at 352-726-5004. Our summer office hours are Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. TOOFAR is a grassroots organization whose major concerns are improving the quality of our water, main- taining our water levels, pre- vention of water transfer to other areas and education of the public about these issues and what they can do to help. A new web-based service will help Medicare benefici- aries of limited income and resources gain access to the extra help available to them through the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003. The service, which will also help them enroll in other health care and pre- scription drug assistance programs, was developed by the Administration on Aging (AoA) with the assistance of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the National Council on the Aging (NCOA). This new resource helps bring together many assis- tance programs available to seniors who need the most help and that includes the comprehensive extra help with drug costs that will soon be available for up to one third of Medicare beneficiar- ies through the new Medicare drug benefit. The new service is a spe- cial version of BenefitsCheckUpRx updat- ed for the extra help with Medicare drug coverage. It is available at BenefitsCheckUpRx will help older adults and the advocates who work with them take advantage of the Medicare low-income sub- sidy, the comprehensive extra help that covers 95 per- cent of drug costs on average for people with Medicare who have limited means. Applications are available now and altogether, about one in three Medicare bene- ficiaries are eligible for the extra help. The new service screens beneficiaries for eli- gibility and then provides a quick link to applying online for the extra help through the Social Security Administration's web site. At the same time, it helps sen- iors and those who work with them apply for other needs- based government programs including the Medicare Savings Programs and other federal, state and private programs that can save sen- iors money. U s i n g BenefitsCheckUpRx, people with Medicare can get help learning about and applying for the Medicare low-income subsidy if they are eligible, as well as learn about how to enroll in various programs, including state pharmacy assistance programs, private company patient assistance programs, veterans and TRI- CARE benefits, Medicaid, Medicare Savings Programs (QMB, SLMB, QI), Supplemental Security Income, and the Medicare- approved drug discount cards can be obtained through December 2005. The tool is confidential: no one is required to enter their name, address, phone num- ber, or Social Security num- ber until they enroll. Next year, Medicare bene- ficiaries who receive full Medicaid benefits or who are enrolled in a Medicare Savings Program (MSP) will automatically receive the extra help with their pre- scription drug costs. That extra help provides comprehensive drug cover- age with no premiums, no deductibles, very low co-pays and no gaps in coverage. States have the flexibility in deciding what rules to use when determining eligibility for their Medicare Savings Program beneficiaries, which means that these requirements can vary con- siderably from state to state. .

A BRIE F LESS N ABOUT Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union. (And why we can offer you better rates.) -- - V.i So maybe money's not everyone's favorite subject. But paving attention now may well keep you from having to pay dearly later. Let's begin with the concept of being a member of a credit union versus being a customer at a bank. See. a bank's main goal is to offer stockholders ways to make money. \\-hereas,. a credit union's main goal is to offer members ways to save money. You'll find evidence of this at Suncoast.

Deer-dog training season nears Hunters who use dogs. to hunt deer on private lands in Florida must now register their deer-dogs for the 2005-06 hunting season. This new statewide, no-cost registration program is not only mandatory during any open deer-hunting season when taking deer with dogs is permitted, but also during the upcoming deer-dog training season. The deer-dog training sea- son opens Oct 1 and runs through Oct. 20 in the central and south hunting zones. In the Northwest Hunting Zone, the training season runs Oct. 29 to Nov. 17. Registration may be issued to hunting clubs or landown- ers for anyone who wants to hunt deer with dogs on a par- ticular tract of land. A unique registration number, will be issued from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWG), and that number must be affixed or. attached to the collars of dogs used to hunt deer on regis- tered properties. To comply with this new rule, a representative from each hunting club must com- plete the appropriate applica- tion, which is available from regional FWC offices and at MyFWC.com/hunting. Proof of landowner permission or a copy of the written lease agreement must be provided along with a general map of the property showing bound- ary lines and a legal descrip- tion. Hunters must possess copies of their registration while they are hunting, and they must keep their dogs on registered properties, as required by the Hunter Responsibility Rule. "This new statewide regis- tration program is a direct result of last year's successful pilot program in northwest Florida, where our commis- sioners tried to balance the rights of property owners while preserving the long- standing tradition of deer-dog hunting in Florida," said Nick Wiley, director of the Division of Hunting and Game Management. "Seventy individual proper- ties, representing 55 deer-dog hunt clubs, participated. Those properties ranged from 40 to 31,000 acres and were sit- uated in 14 of the 16 counties within the FWC's Northwest Region," Wiley said. With the pilot program in place, complaints dropped 27 percent, compared to the average of the previous four hunting seasons. More impor- tantly, only five complaints were associated with regis- tered deer-dog hunting clubs. In comparison, a review of last season's complaint data for the North Central and Northeast regions, where reg- istration was not required, showed an increase in deer- dog hunting complaints from the average of the previous four hunting seasons.

Think Jazzercise, with half the action or at least on a lighter scale. Jazzercise instructor Patty Jordan is working with the county parks and recreation department to put together a program just for seniors. If they have a successful turnout, the program will be year round. They just started the classes two weeks ago and already Jordan's received comments from members about improvements they're experiencing. She said at least two of the ladies have said they have a better sense of balance and more range of motion in their arms. The program is designed for seniors, with time cut in half and some of the exercise even designed for members to do from chairs to help balance them. Jordan said she's been lead- ing Jazzercise for 17 years now and her 82-year-old mother joined this class, see- ing what she does for the first time. It's similar to the regular Jazzercise, but there's no hop- ping, skipping or jumping, she said. "Less stress on the body." The count is more one and two, than one, two, three, four and members also move diag- onally, rather than in com- plete turns. Jordan said there are options for the exercises with a chair. It's all been modified and members even have a way to do the floor portion,, without ever getting on the floor. It's a class for those 50 and up, or for those- at any age, who are out of shape and try- ing to work their way to a more strenuous level. And you might want to bring a friend not just to keep you company either. If you bring a new class member, you get a free gift maybe an umbrella, Patty Jordan leads the Jazzercise Lite crowd through the moves for a healthier week. Classes meet at 9 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursday at the Lake Panasoffkee Recreation Park and are designed for folks over 50 or those working to get in shape and step up a notch. a T-shirt or a tote bag. She's got all kinds of good- ies, she said. Jordan said currently, the class is small, but they're on a trial basis, to see what the longer term response will be. They're hoping for larger classes when the winter resi- dents return. She said there was also some confusion about the location. She got several phone calls about the class, but some of the residents didn't show up. It turns out they had gone to the community center, on the east side of Interstate 75 the class is actually being held at the Lake Panasoffkee Recreation Park building, on C.R. 459. Jordan still teaches the full Jazzercise routine too at 5:45 p.m. Monday, Tuesdays and Thursday and at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday at the First United Methodist Church in Bushnell. She's had the class there for 14 years now. Class costs are $30 a month for unlimited trips you can attend the two weekly classes in Lake Panasoffkee and go over to the higher-paced class- es in Bushnell if you want! There's a discount available and different options. For example, if you only want to attend one class per week, for the month, it's $18. For more information you can contact the Sumter County Parks and Recreation Department at 793-3624 or Jordan at 793-9430.

If you live in a humid climate or where the humidity level is high during the summer months, you probably do have mildew. What is mildew? Mildew is mold. A mold such as mildew can decom- pose cellulose and lignin, therefore ruining paper and cellulosic fabrics that are not pro- tected. MAI Wood, paint, glue MAI and leather may be ----- attacked by mildew also. Mildew mold secretes an enzyme that decomposes organic matter and uses it for growth and reproduction. High humidity is required to hydrate mildew cells and materials on which they can grow. Mildew is unsightly, pro- duces an unpleasant odor, and often acts as an allergen that can create health prob- lems. What is necessary for mildew to grow? Mildew spores, or seed like forms of mildew, exist almost every- where. They will not grow and spread, however, unless cer- tain conditions are met. There are many varieties of mildew, but generally the following conditions con- tribute to mildew growth: optimal growth temperature range for molds is 77 degrees to 88 degrees; some growth may occur anywhere between 32 degrees to 95 degrees. Mildew requires moisture and are aerobic (they require oxygen for growth). They thrive on organic materials coated with organ- ic matter such as food or soil. With mildew spores always ready to grow in homes, what protection is needed to stop mildew from growing and spreading? The KEY words - are clean and dry. The first step in avoiding mildew is to plan a program to keep surfaces clean a regular routine. Don't let bath- rooms become mildew gardens. Clean regularly before mildew is ITHA visible. Change air IDOX conditioner filters -"""-- frequently. Check the drip pan under your frost-free refrigerator and freezer. Wipe up spills as they occur and vacuum regu- larly. Wash off finger marks on doorsills. Don't let dirty laun- dry pile up. Don't put sweaty clothes back into closets. Once shoes have been worn, they are "conditioned" to grow mildew so let sweaty shoes dry. Mildew needs moisture to grow. The big question is "How can you keep a home in warm, humid Florida dry?" Try these tips: every time people open outside doors to come and go, moisture moves inside, therefore, individuals need to open and close doors promptly. Air enters homes through cracks and crevices. Look around windows and doors to see if you see daylight any- where. If you see daylight, invest in weather stripping to stop the moisture. Hold a lighted match in front of each electrical out- let. If the flame flickers, moist air can leak in. There are' inserts to put behind cover plates to con- trol air and moisture leak- age. A fireplace has a large opening that air and mois- ture can come through. Make sure the damper (and glass doors, if present) is closed. Moisture coming into the air conditioning system through joints and cracks in ductwork are often the biggest source of moisture. where severe mildew prob- lems are found. When the temperature of outside air drops to the low 70s during the late evening, should air conditioning be turned off and windows opened to save energy? Not in Florida. That outside air is saturat- ed and will bring in a lot of moisture. Furnishings can soak up excess moisture. When air conditioning is turned on again, it will have to work harder to remove the excess moisture from iir and furnishings. During this period, mois- ture will be high enough to invite mildew. Keeping your home mildew-safe during warm, humid weather requires a routine that is not difficult, but requires planning and family team effort. Once mildew appears, it should be removed as soon as possible and precautions should be taken to prevent its return by keeping humidity levels low. For charts containing instructions for dealing with mildew problems on com- monly affected surfaces, con- tact the University of Florida, IFAS, Sumter County Extension Office at 352-793-2728. Ask for the fact sheet "How to Prevent and Remove Mildew." Pictured is Russ Weir, his great grandchild Lydia Wilson and granddaughter Jill Wilson. Weir celebrated his 85th birthday on Aug. 15. He works 16 hours a week as a greeter at Wal-Mart and also spent a good part of this past week on the tractor helping his son-in-law get the hay in. One of the things Russ believes has kept him in good health is not being afraid to "work and sweat and the blessings of the Good Lord." About 80 friends and family members gathered in Bushnell this past Sunday to celebrate his birthday. In addition to the surprise visit by his granddaughter and great granddaughter who came down from North Carolina, several other grand and great grandchildren also attended.

That's thanks to a win last Friday night in their Fall Classic against Brooksville's Hernando. The Raiders managed to take Hernando 49-28. But Head Coach Inman Sherman had little interest in the score of this pre-season game. His attention was focused on his players. "It doesn't count as a win or loss it's almost like a dress rehearsal before the season starts," Sherman said of the game. And that's exactly the way they played, he said. Coaches played both their first and second offenses in an effort to see what the individ- ual players had. "We got everybody out there anrd got them on film." coaches then looked over the film to evaluate the players 'and the way the game was ,played. That's where their focus has ;been this past week, as they ,prep for their first real season game against East Ridge. And while they work as a team. Sherman noted some highlights from Friday night's play by some of the younger :.players, including Ja'perrin . Mobley. Tony Smith and Marty Everett. He said Mobley played cen- ter and "had a great night. He just did super." SiSmith "ran the ball extremely well for us" and did some great plays Everett played defensive end and gave some real posi- tiv'es, Sherman said. Among the more seasoned players, "Kendall Smith had a big night on defense," making several tackles during the game. While winning is "always more fun," the classic event doesn't count during the sea- son, Sherman said. The Raiders will compete in their first official game this Friday night when they meet East Ridge. The game is at Clermont and begins at 7:30 p.m. "Our fans need to get there early," Sherman said. They're expecting a huge crowd and there's only one lane of traffic into the school.

Wildcats kick off season with tie, play Harmony Friday Though the Wildwood High School Wildcats tied with Mount Dora at a preseason game last Friday night, Assistant Coach Khalil Tucker said they're not off to a bad start. "We had to sit a lot of guys," which made the game more difficult, he said. The final score was 7-7, with neither team scoring in the second half. "We've got some work to do but we're on the right track," he said. Tucker said this year's team is much like the previous, and they continue to improve every year. This is his fourth year work- ing with Head Coach Robert Lindsay. "We approach every year the same," stressing leader- ship and citizenship in the classroom and on the field, Tucker said. .As for this Friday's game against Harmony High School, Tucker said although the Wildcats beat Harmony last year, they haven't let their guard down. "We'll be a better (team) this year," he said. Friday's game will be held at Harmony High School in Harmony at 7:30 p.m., fol- lowed by a game in Tax ares on September 2.

Hunting permits still available Chris Harrod, (seated on left) recently signed to play baseball for Thomas University in Thomasville, Ga. Harrod is pictured with (left to right) his coach, his mother Rhonda and father Roger. Since 1988, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conser- vation Commission (FWC) has offered thrilling, hands- on, face-to-face alligator hunting opportunities that are unlike any other hunting experience imaginable. If this type of hunting adventure sounds exciting to you, the FWC still has nearly 1,300 alligator harvest per- mits remaining for the upcoming season, available on a first-come, first-served basis through Sept. 20. Permit holders are author- ized to take two alligators from designated areas dur- ing specific harvest periods that run Sept. 1 through Oct. 8. Alligator harvest areas are listed at MyFWC.com/alliga- tor under 'Alligator Harvest Permit Availability." Applicants have the option of applying at any county tax collector's office, license agent (retail outlet that sells hunting and fishing licenses), online at: MyFWC.com/license or by calling toll-free 1-888-HUNT- FLORIDA (486-8356) from anywhere in the United States or Canada. To secure a permit, appli- cants must submit payment for an alligator trapping license and two alligator- hide validation tags, or pro- vide proof of a valid alligator trapping license (must be valid through Oct. 8), plus pay the fee for two hide valida- tion tags. No other hunting licenses are required. The cost for a resident alli- gator trapping license and hide validation tags is $272, and non-residents pay $1,022. For each alligator taken, the hunter must complete and send in an alligator har- vest report form to the FWC. Data gathered from these forms enable FWC biologists to monitor population trends and impacts on the annual harvest. A resident or nonresident alligator trapping agent license is also available to consumers for $52. This license allows the holder to assist a trapper in taking alligators, but only in the presence of the permit- ted trapper. All persons seeking a har- vest permit must be at least 18 years old by Sept. 1, and only one harvest permit per person will be issued.

I was shocked to see how much damage last year's hurri- canes have done to the beach- es. In my opinion, the most beautiful - beaches any- where in the , world are in - Destin. The sand * on the beaches in Destin is as clean and white as sand can possibly be and the soft sand along the beach will actually . squeak as you JAMIE A walk on it. Outdoor The hurricanes - have really caused a lot of damage to the beaches, not to mention the severe damage that has occurred to many houses and businesses in the area. The storms have really caused maj6r damage to the beaches and Herculean efforts are being made to restore them, but it is going to take at least a year to repair some of the beach erosion. The hurricane damage, as bad as it my have been, was in reality just a small portion of the way Mama Nature takes care of her business. After all, hurricanes in the past were part of the original process that created the beaches in the first place. The beautiful sea oats and dunes that grace the Destin shoreline were all a part of God's infinite plan and sometimes it takes what we humans call a disaster to create some of nature's great- est masterpieces. The beautiful sand dunes that make up the shoreline all along the Destin area had to have been created by hur- ricanes eons ago, - and mankind had ..better accept the fact that as big as the waves were that originally created the beaches and dunes in the past J will in all probabili- ty someday occur many times again. Anyway, the *a beaches in Destin LDAMS are one of Shug's Writer and my favorite places to visit and enjoy. We have been going up there for close to 40 years now. We first started. going up there before it was built up, and folks, if there is a place in Florida that has been highly developed, it is Destin. The only other place that has developed faster in Florida other than the Destin area that I know is The Villages in Sumter County and they don't even have a beach of any kind there unless it's perchance man- made. Even though the town of Destin has developed at a record pace, the local govern- ment has not lost track with reality and the concerns and traditions of the local folks have been understood and taken care of. I, for one, wish that all land developers in the state who are asphalting and cementing Florida over at a terrifying rate had just a few of the local native folks' concerns on their minds. However, you and I know full well that the almighty greedy back dollar is the only thing land developers as a rule have any feeling for. Anyhow, Shug and I got a chance once more to take a long barefooted walk down the beach at Destin and get one more chance to see a beautiful sunset A walk on the beach anywhere can make a lot of the worrisome trials and tribulations of this old world just go away and every once in a while we all need to have a serious re- birthing and realize what the real important happenings in life are all about anyway. Folks, I talked to Marc Stepbach, a buddy of mine from over in Brooksville. He's heading up the state duck calling contest coming up this weekend that is going to be held in Orlando and he tells me this year's contest is going to be the biggest and best ever. He asked that I remind all of you that if you did not have anything of great importance to do this coming Saturday afternoon to come over to Orlando land enjoy the duck- calling contest. It will be at the Bass Pro Shops on International Drive, and folks you will have a good time, and your kids or grandkids especially will. And folks, the show is free. FER COUNTY A;:-.' .- y '- .

Another well known crime 'solved by Beau is the "Mystery of the Singing Canary." The -infamous Cagney Canary wit- nessed a catfight, and before he could sing to the cops, he was never seen again. As "Prince Pusser," Beau was privy to inside information, and gained access into the hideout of Catpone, top cat of some very tough characters, where he found feathers matching the description of -Cagney Canary. Old habits are hard to die, and even though Beau if retired, he enjoys the old spy games. You can find him spy- ing under a bed, or watching in you keep a secret?
