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.

New landfill rules

MARTIN STEELE
Times Correspondent

Sumter County Commis-
sioners decided Tuesday to
weigh proposed new landfill
rules for at least one more
week
The board agreed to contin-
ue the public hearing on the
proposed land development
regulations at 6 p.m., Aug. 30.
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

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. -

Help a high school student CATS
continued from Page 1


Mentoring

can help in
numerous

ways

BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

One wants to be a teacher.
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

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-

$12,000 this year, pays for
classes. 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.

Just 30 minutes of your time a week can
help make the difference between a high
school student and a college graduate.


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.

Sumter student become a
college graduate? Contact

The man then offered to

said. 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 .

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

While officers initially

Wildwood to hold annexation meeting


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

The City of Wildwood is
going for another big annexa-
tion this year, and property
owners are being asked to
join in.
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

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'

Where was
the justice
This letter is in response to the
trial that took place in Sumter
County about the road rage inci-
dent that resulted in the death of a
beautiful little girl.
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.

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?

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.

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.
Oh, yes, the Web site that I use for
most of legislative movement is the
Thomas Legislative Information on
The Internet:
http://thomas.loc.gov/home/thomas.
Give it a try.
If you enjoy and learn from this type
of Q-and-A format, let me know. I find
that if one or two readers have the
same question perhaps thousands
do.
Keep my green tea warm, and I will
talk to you next week

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

"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.

Record Summer for Sumter




County Chamber of Commerce


After what seemed like a whirlwind sum-
mer your Sumter County Chamber of
Commerce emerges with a season of record
growth.
SCCC welcomed an amazing number of new
members to our community. With 27 new
members, the summer proved to be an excit-
ing time to be a part of our community.
In addition to its new members the SCCC
helped to usher in 6 members through ribbon
cuttings. Among our summer ribbon cuttings
were Curves of Wildwood, C&M Paper,


Advanced Water Extraction, Tim West Lot
Maintenance, Kenneth Neal's Empire, and
Bushnell Family Practice.
With the increased growth in Chamber
membership we have also seen an increase in
attendance ht the Chamber's monthly lunch-
eon. The summer began with 54 attendees .at
the June luncheon, then 75 at the July session,
and finished with nearly 130 at our August
Luncheon.
The Chamber of Commerce would like to
thank you for your increasing support.

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.
. If you have any questions
please contact your local
Veterans Services Office at
Bushnell Office 352-793-
0235 or Villages Annex, 352-

The breakfast and cere-
monies will start at 9 a.m. and

"We are pleased with the
positive response received

resonates down through the
years and has great relevance
for us today."

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. Just ask about our car

loans with rates as low as 5.0''o APR'. Or our certificate accounts paying

earnings as high as 5.15` APY". Then there's free checking, free

ATM access, free on-line banking and bill pa\ and free advice from financial

experts. These are just a few reasons Suncoast has grown to become the largest

credit union in Florida, and the seventh largest in the country. #' All of

this newfound knowledge kind of makes you wonder why sou didn't look

into becoming a member sooner. Let's just consider it a lesson learned.

, To find out more. call 800-999-5887 or visit joinsuncoast.org.

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.

erty, visit MyFWC.com/hunt-
ing.

Seniors looking for a great
way to get in shape, but with-
out overdoing it?
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.

How to prevent and


remove mildew


Do you have a mildew
problem? 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.

Raiders hot on the field


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

The heat index is more than
100 degrees during the day
and the South Sumter Varsity
Raiders are burning it up at
night.
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.

Outdoor


workshop


set for


women

The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission
(FWC) still has openings for
women who want to spend a
weekend learning a variety of
outdoor activities in Ocala on
Sept. 9 to 11.
The FWC invites women, 18
and older, to attend the
Becoming an Outdoors-Woman
(BOW) workshop to improve
their outdoor skills and enjoy a
few recreational activities. In
four, three-and-one-half-hour
sessions, the workshop teaches
skills associated with hunting,
fishing and other forms of out-
door recreation, at all levels of
physical activity.
"The most popular classes
participants sign up to take,
year-in and year-out are the
Primitive Chef,
Canoeing/Kayaking Basics,
Basic Wilderness Survival
Skills, and Introduction to
Handgun Shooting and
Hunting," BOW state coordina-
tor, Lynne Hawk, said.
The workshop will take place
at the Ocala Conservation
Center/Camp in the Ocala
National Forest. Sessions will
begin Friday at 11 a.m. and end
Sunday with lunch.
The cost for the 3-day work-
shop is $150, and there are a
limited number of partial schol-
arships available for low-
income participants, single par-
ents and college students. The
workshop is restricted to 100
participants on a first-come,
first-served basis.
For more information about
the BOW workshop and regis-
tration, visit the FWC's Web site;
at MyFWC.com/BOW or call
(561) 625-5126.


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.
Wildwood's first home game
will be with South Sumter on
Friday, Sept. 9 at 7:30 p.m.

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.
For more information on
how to get involved in these
exciting alligator hunts, visit
MyFWC.com/alligator and

SUM


Checking out Destin


S hug and I were up in
Destin recently for a
short and very much
needed vacation. 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.
