Critics blast fire services, no assessment increase


MARTIN STEELE
Times Correspondent

Sumter County commission-
ers on Tuesday settled some
major issues including the
rejection of fire assessment
increases for the next budget
year and finally approving a
new ordinance on the devel-
opment of landfills.
With Commissioner
Michael Francis absent the
board rejected proposed.
increases in Fire Rescue


Assessments for both the
Sumter County Municipal
Service Benefit Unit and the
Villages Fire District.
The county's consultant,
Government Services Group,
had proposed increasing
Sumter's general assessment
from the current $56 annual
fee per residence to $65 per
year.
The Village Center
Community Development
District, which manages the
Villages fire services, had


requested an increase from
$56 per year to $63.20. It would
have been a 12.9 percent
increase according to District
Administrator Pete Wahl.
According to the rate reso-
lution before the board, the
Villages assessment would
have funded fire services
costs for the 2005-2006 fiscal
year of $1,206,903.
For the county fire services,
the assessment was to fund
costs of $1,460,122.:
The county proposal drew


some sharp criticism from
Sumterville resident Keith
Allen, who recently has been
sharply critical of Sumter Fire
Rescue Director William
Gulbrandsen's management.
Allen cited a list of changes
that he claimed would reduce
the county's fire/rescue costs
up to 75 percent.
These are some of the
things he suggested, as he has
done in earlier meetings: lim-
iting non-official use of
department vehicles by per-


sonnel, getting rid of some of
the fleet of sedans, restricting
long distance telephone call-
ing, getting rid of high-speed
internet access at fire stations
and stopping duplicate and
unnecessary responses by fire
personnel.
With his suggestions inact-
ed, not only would the county
not need a fire assessment
increase, the rates could be
reduced.
Bert Kunstler, a Beville's
Corner area resident, asked


the board not to increase the
fee. He said he was wondering
why he sees so many "units"
on the streets.
With gasoline prices on the
increase, some of the "romp-
ing around the county" needs
to be curtailed, he said.
Bushnell businessman
William Spaude said he didn't
used to pay any fees for his
buildings within Bushnell city
limits, the fire services were

A 5-year-old boy who was
attacked at his home by a
neighbor's dog almost two
weeks ago returned to school
after a week's absence.
This was the same pit bull
mix that had been impound-
ed in February of this year for
biting another child. Its
owner has signed over owner-
ship to animal control, and it
is scheduled to be destroyed
after a quarantine period is
over.
The incident happened on
-Aug. 20, when Matthew
Palmer was playing in the
family's yard outside theit
Bushnell home. The neigh-
bor's d9g came into the yard
and attacked him, biting his
leg and arm, according to the
boy's father, Phillip Palmer.
He said he became aware
of the attack when his son ran
into the house screaming and
was "covered in blood."
"The dog literally had him
on the ground and was shak-
inig him."
There were multiple punc-
ture wounds and scratch
marks on Matthew that were
bleeding freely, according to
the police report.
Matthew was bandaged and
taken in an ambulance to
Citrus Memorial Hospital,
where he was treated for the
bite wounds and released the

According to the latest pre-
liminary estimates, Sumter
County's population has
gro n ii by more than 10 per-
cent o-er last year, likely mak-
ing it hne of the fastest grow-
ing co nties in the state.
Wh le it's too early to deter-
mine ow Sumter will finally
comp re with other counties
in th population ratings, "it's
goin to be up there in popu-
lati growth," according to
Sco Code, demographer for
the bureau of Economic and
Bu! ess Research at the
Un rsity of Florida.
e preliminary numbers
we released last week and


will not be finalized until the
estimates. are reviewed by,
county and city officials who
will either agree or dispute
the calculations.
If governmental agencies
dispute the estimates, they
must provide supporting doc-
umentation showing there are
errors in the calculations.
Code said that much of the
new growth in Sumter County
appears to be spawned by sin-
gle-family development.
Assistant County
Administrator Sandra Howell


agreed With his assessment
that single-family housing
appears to have lead new
growth during the past year,
especially in and around The
Villages in northeastern
Sumter County but there also
is a growing trend toward
alternatives to single-family
housing .
Howell said the county is
seeing an increasing number
of development proposals for
other forms of housing like
multi-family developments,
condominiums and apart-


ments.
According to the latest fig-
ures, the population of the
entire county is estimated at
74,052 compared with 66,416
last year and 53,345 in 2000.
The figures are used to
determine state revenue shar-
ing funds the county will
receive based on its popula-
tion numbers. The new popu-
lation figures also mean that
Sumter County will not be
receiving a substantial chunk
of state money because the
new population estimate


exceeds the limit for one of
three funding sources from
the state's half-cent sales tax
revenue.
Sales tax revenue funding is
broken down into three cate-
gories, according to Howell.
Of those three funds (ordi-
nary, emergency and supple-
mental), the emergency fund-
ing has a population cap of
65,000. Counties with popula-
tions that exceed 65,000 are
not entitled to the emergency
funding.
"We just squeaked by last
year, but this year we'll lose
over $1 million" because the
county no longer qualifies for
the emergency funding, she
said.

part of the city property tax.
But, under the county
assessments, he said he has
seen it increase to $800. Now
it looks as if it could be from
$2,500 to $18,000.
"We need to go back to the
way it was." Spaude said.
Another owner of Bushnell
property William Lackay, said
the taxpayers got "a good deal
under the old system" when
the county contracted with the
individual departments.
But, while he "vigorously
opposed" the proposed
increase, he .acknowledged
that there was little likelihood
that the county could go back
to the old system.
Commission Chairman Joey
Chandler asked GSG Vice
President Camille Tharpe
why he was getting so many
calls about increases from
commercial property owners.
Tharpe said the commercial
and, industrial rates would
remain the same at five cents
per square foot of building
space. The reason some own-
ers are seeing increases could
be due to square-footage
adjustments by the county
property appraiser's office.
Commissioner Jim Roberts
said he saw no justification in
earlier budget workshop
requests to increase the
assessments by 18 percent.
"I believe that he
(Gulbrandsen) can live within
the current budget" Roberts
said.
He also said the county has
a much improved fire services
department than it did under
the old system.
Commissioner Richard
Hoffman agreed that there

Mr. and Mrs. Stephens passed
on to the students, as well as
their care and guidance.
To Mr. and Mrs. Stephens,
former student Sam
McConnell said, "Thank you
for the 30 years you looked
after me after I graduated...I1
love you."
Besides all of the -expres-
sions of gratitude, -plenty of
reminiscing went on that
evening.
There was talk of picking
peas, sight-seeing on FFA
trips, water skiing, Moon Pies,

Stephens on the ag bus. A


could be some costs reduc-
tions in fire services, especial-
ly in the area of medical
responses.
He said that outside of the
Villages the county general
fund was supporting the bulk
of the costs from medical first
responder calls.
But, the fire assessments
cannot legally be used for
funding life support services,
Roberts said.
However he proposed that
he would be willingto support
funding some of the Villages
life support services from the
general fund, provided a suit-
able mutual aide agreement
could be developed between
the Villages Center
Community Development
District and Sumter County.
Hoffman agreed that it
would make the funding of
those services more equi-
table.
The final motion to leave
the county rate at the $56 level
was approved unanimously.
The Villages proposal drew
criticism from one of its own\
residents, William Meyeri
"I moved here with the
thought that we would get a
fair shake politically," Meyer
said. "Now, I assume that
when I pay fire and rescue
assessments in the Villages,
I'm paying twice."
Villages residents pay sepa-
rate fees to the community
development districts for such
services as medical first
responders.
Wahl said that the person-
nel and equipment needs of
the Villages fire services had
grown since the $56 fee was
enacted in 1999.
Hoffman supported the
increase.
"We have seven-day a week
service there, the rest of the
county doesn't have that level
of service," Hoffman said. He

said it was generally just a
"cost of living" increase.
But, Roberts argued that.
with approximately 4,500 new
homes per year, the Villages
funding should be adequate to
keep up with services, possi-
bly 'bringing in an additional
half million dollars per year.
There were some sugges-
tions for a new, countywide
fire assessment study during
the meeting, both from com-
missioners, Gulbrandsen and
Wahl.
And, after all'the debate on
increases, the board decided
unanimously to have a new

last word for the evening.
"This has really humbled
Ethel and me," he said.
He was surprised organiz-
ers had succeeded in raising
$60,000, but it shows the care
they have for agriculture and
students, he said.
He said he was thankful to
have stayed in the county
when he first came in 1957
when he was offered another
job.
"That was one of the best
decisions I have ever made
because the people of Sumter
County are some of the best
people in the world."
To the audience he said,,
"God bless you. We appreciate
each and every one of you.
Thank you very much."

reduction of some surface
water and potable well set-
backs to as little as a quarter-
mile. Most- of those original
setbacks were originally pro-
posed at a half-mile.
Since the last meeting,
attorneys for the county man-
aged to resolve some ques-,
tions about language for deal-
ing with complaints or claims
of damages by neighboring
property owners. Those sec-
tions. were reduced from a
couple of pages down to'a few
paragraphs.
Development Services,
Director Robbie Rogers
reminded commissioners that
a developer still has to go
through the conditional use
permitting process to get
approval for a landfill. "'A con-
ditional use is not a use of
right." she said.
Commissioner Roberts said
that the rules are "not going to
open the floodgates" of land-
fill applications.
County Attorney Randall
Thornton, commenting on
how stringent the rules are,
said that some prospective
landfill developers might not
even want to try to put one in
the county under these regu-
lations.
"This is not presented to
you so 'as to allow a landfill,
but because you didn't have
any regulations," Thornton
said.

Phillip said he doesn't want
to feud with his neighbor, but
he is frustrated because of the
dog's history.
He said after the first inci-
dent, the dog should have
been put down, leashed, or
kept inside a fence.
"I know (Matthew) did not
provoke that fight," he said.
"It's just a tragedy for my boy"
Phillip and his wife Debra

Law enforcement and ani-

responded to the East County

the report. Unsuccessful

John Hezlep said that inci-
dents like these are handled
on a
case-by-case basis, and
every situation is different.

In cases like this, Hezlep
said that often the owners
choose not to take the animal

If an owner fails to comply,

Property owners attend Wildwood annexation meeting


Wildwood city leaders held
an unofficial meeting
Monday, Aug. 29, to inform
property owners of the impli-
cations of annexing into the
city. The city annexed rough-
ly 1,700 acres earlier this
year, and is working on
another substantial annexa-
tion.
Approximately 425 letters
for voluntary annexation
requests were mailed out
recently, and about 70 people
showed up Monday to learn
more.
Previously, Growth
Development Coordinator
Robert Smith said owners
have agreed to annex 500
acres prior to the meeting.
City consultant Greg
Beliveau, of Urban and
Regional Planners, Inc., told
the audience at the
Wildwood community build-
ing reasons for the city to pro-
ceed with these annexations
are twofold. He said the city
needs to constantly grow in
order to keep taxes down and
thrive, and because of the
rapidly growing development
to the north, The Villages.
Beliveau said the city "saw
The Villages was going to


develop," those areas of
unincorporated Wildwood,
and believed the city would
"stagnate" if it did not act on
annexing.
The general area for this
proposed annexation is north
of the city. However, a map
they displayed showed a few
other areas of interest to the
city.
City Manager Jim Stevens
said this expansion eventual-
ly would have occurred in
Wildwood even without The
Villages' rapid growth near
the city, but it's happening
"20 to 30 years ahead of
time."
Officials hoped to entice
property owners with a
choice of zoning changes,
which Stevens said could
normally cost several thou-
sand dollars. If they choose to
annex now, the city will pay
for the reclassification.
Officials explained this could
be a benefit to those who may
sell their property in the near
future, as property values
could go up, depending on
the zoning category selected.
Also, by annexing, owners
would have an opportunity to
hook up to city utilities.

About 425 letters for annexation requests were sent to property owners outside the City of
Wildwood, and many of those property owners attended an annexation meeting on Monday,
Aug. 29 to hear more about the pros and cons of coming into the city. City officials showed res-
idents of unincorporated Sumter County several maps, including those depicting land use in
the area.


Though not required imme-
diately, the city could require
connections if the current
sewer or well fails or if the


property changes hands. gible for Wildwood city utili-
Within a certain proximity, ties anyway, but hooking up
property in unincorporated this way costs substantially
Sumter County could be eli- more, Stevens said.


He compared the $1,620 for
city residents to tie into the
city's sewer system to $2,160
nearby county residents
would have to pay
One downside for property
owners is the city's 4.7 mill
property tax they'll have to
pay in addition to county
property taxes.
Beliveau said property
owners will probably have
about 30 to 45 days to make a
decision regarding their
annexation choices, but he
explained agreeing to the
annexation did not guaran-
tee -the property will be
annexed.
He said properties have to
be contiguous to the city or to
properties in annexation
agreements, so eligibility for
some people will depend on
their neighbors' decisions to
annex.
The annexation process
typically takes about six to
nine months, depending on
difficulty, he said.
The last annexation, which
is still being reviewed by the
state Department of
Community Affairs, has
taken about seven months.

Through rain, wind, thunder-
storms, and summer heat, the Oak
Grove Cemetery Association meets
the last Saturday of every month
from April to October to maintain the
grounds and enjoy a picnic after-
ward.
The men come out to the cemetery,
on County Road 232, near Wildwood,
with their lawiunowers and weed-
eaters to cut the grass, and gather
later for lunch with family and
friends.
Member Delilah Gwaltney said the
picnic usually draws a larger crowd


in better weather than the one on
Aug. 27.
But even with Saturday's late
morning rain, around 30 people
were there to join in the traditional
meal and visit with relatives and
friends.
By noon, the sun was out, and the
aroma of a fried chicken lunch and
freshly cut grass were in the air.
Although its sign reads the ceme-
tery was established in
1860, Gwaltney said
before it was donated to
the county, it began as a
family cemetery on her _ji__-*_
ancestors' land.
*"The land was given to
the county by my great-


grandfather," William Caruthers, she
said.
Gwaltney, 65, remembers coming
to the picnics as a child with rela-
tives. Among them were her brother
William and sister Becky, who still
attend.
"You have to be a descendent of
people buried out here," in order to
be buried at the cemetery, she said.
Plots are not sold, so the association


takes up a collection to maintain the
grounds.
At Oak Grove Cemetery, there are
hundreds of graves but no one knows
exactly how many there are.
Some of the older graves' wooden
markers are gone, and the identities
and location of some of the people
buried out there are not known.
Gwaltney said the association aims
to have the cemetery plotted, and


gather information about people
buried there.
The association is all about family,
community, and tradition, she said.
"We know if we lose what we have
here, it's gone forever."
In October, at the last combination
workday and picnic of the year, the
group usually holds a fish fry, which
Gwaltney said about 50 people usu-
ally attend.

Saturday, Aug. 27 at the Oak Grove Cemetery in Wildwood after
cemetery association members perform maintenance on the
grounds. M.J. says he can remember coming to the picnics as
a child.


Oak Grove Cemetery Association members picnic on the grounds where distant relatives were buried back in the 1800s. Plots at
the Wildwood area cemetery are limited to descendents of those who first settled in the area.

AND AMANDA MIMS

,Charges against County
Commissioner Jim Roberts
that resulted in his arrest last
week in Pasco County have
been dropped.
.Roberts refers to the
charges as a "mistake" made
by his brother
:Roberts turned himself in to
Pasco County police in New
POrt Richey on Wednesday,
Aug. 24, after he received
word that a warrant was
issued for his arrest for grand
theft auto. The charges were
dropped last Friday.
-The arrest stemmed from
an apparent disagreement
with Jim Roberts and his
brother, Patrick Roberts,
about ownership of a 1993
Ford Taurus formerly owned
'by their late mother
SRoberts was released hours
after he turned himself in on a
$5,000 bond.
SThe warrant was signed on
Jtly 18 in Pasco County and
According to an affidavit pro-
vided by the sheriff's depart-
ment, Patrick Roberts
claimed he and his mother
o owned the vehicle and had
the title in their names. When


their mother passed away,
Patrick Roberts claimed he
had sole ownership of the
vehicle, and said Jim Roberts
took possession of
the vehicle without
permission, refusing
to return it.
Since their mother
passed away March
10, Roberts said he
and his three broth-
ers decided to divide
the assets four ways.
Roberts, 57, is well
known in the county
both for his service
as a county commis-
sioner for five years Jim I
and about 25 years as
a high school history
teacher in the Sumter County
School District
Roberts said he has con-
fronted the situation in his
classroom, in church, and
other public venues.
He said because he is a pub-
lic official, more notice has
been drawn to a situation that
wouldn't normally receive
much publicity..
"When you have something
like this, you either run from
it or confront it,'? he said.
"My brother made a mis-
take," he said. "It's regret-
table, and we go from here."


He did say he felt good
about the number of people
who have supported him,
"public officials and others
who had confi-
dence in my char-
acter and integri-
ty."
Fellow commis-
sioners have gen-
erally expressed
surprise by the
arrest.
"I don't think he
did anything
wrong. I think it's a
family issue," said
District 5
loberts Commissioner
Randy Mask.
District 1
Commissioner Dick Hoffman
said it's not uncommon for
disputes to occur between rel-
atives when a family member
passes away.
"I'm very sympathetic to
Commissioner Roberts," he
said. "I wish him well in get-
ting thisthing resolved."
Commission Chairman Joey
Chandler said when he found
out about the arrest, he
thought, "there had to be a
mistake somewhere." He said
his first reaction was surprise
and says the situation seemed
like "siblings squabbling."

Your


Words cannot express the
gratitude we extend to the
citizens of Sumter County
who participated in, and support-
ed, the effort to honor John and
Ethel Stephens.
You' have emphatically, shown
Mr. and Mrs. Stephens just how
much they are loved, admired,
respected and appreciated as two
people who have lived their entire
lives giving to, and doing for oth-
ers.
They represent the best in all of
us and are true role models of how,
we should all strive to live.
The overwhelming response to
the effort to create a scholarship
in Mr. and Mrs. Stephens' names
will forever help give young citi-
zens, each year, the opportunity to
lead the kind of lives for which Mr.
and Mrs. Stephens have been such
shining examples. The dinner in
celebration .of Mr. and Mrs.
Stephens, likewise, was a huge
success. The 500 friends in atten-
dance made it clear to our Guests
of Honor just how much they are
loved. Even though no effort could
adequately say "thank you" to
them enough, we believe Sumter
County gave it a really good shot
We are so blessed and thankful


that Mr. and Mrs. Stephens chose
to stay in Sumter County in 1958,
when Mr. Stephens had complet-
ed the one year of teaching for
which he had committed with a
handshake. By the end of that first
year, however, and even though
higher-paying job offers from
other counties were on the table,
Mr. and Mrs. Stephens had fallen
so much in love with Sumter
County and its people, they could
not leave. The positive impact of
that one decision is still evident
today in the lives of literally hun-
dreds of other people, nearly 50
years later. Mr. and Mrs. Stephens,
we are forever grateful to you for
staying.
The recent outpouring of love
and support for this effort to
honor them is a perfect example
of why the Stephens decided to
make Sumter County their home.
It is what makes Sumter County
such a good place..
Again, we thank you for your
participation and support. You
have done a truly great thing.
Thank you again.
The Members of the Steering
Committee

and Ethel Stephens


Your Voice


To Raider
supporters
I want to thank you for your sup-
port with our recent membership
drive. All summer we have solicited
support and your participation is
greatly appreciated.
To show our appreciation, we
would like to invite you to an open
house on Sept 2, from 5:30 to 6:30
p.m., in our.library.
We are very proud of the many new
improvements- made at South
Sumter, but our library is our crown-
ing jewel!
This past summer we added a salt-
water aquarium and the previous
year the students were treated to
new furniture and a "Raider
Reading Caf6."
Alumni T-shirts will be ready Aug.
31 and may either be picked up in
the front office or you may.get your.
shirt at the open house.
If this is not convenient for you,
please let me know and I will try to
make other arrangements for you.
Extra shirts may be ordered
through Sept. 15.
We added a child size that states,
"Future Alumni" and run from child
sizes 2-14.
While the turnout was not large, I
still believe that organizing an
Alumnus is a good idea.
I believe that many individuals
who graduated. from South Sumter
are proud to be a Raider and will
gladly donate this small amount each
year to assist with all the improve-
ments being made on the campus
and for the benefit of our students
today.
I do not know what the future will
bring, but I do hope' and pray that
SSHS Alumni Association will not


have such a short life, but will grow
into the support our children
deserve.
I look forward to seeing you on
Sept. 2 in the library or at the game
following.
For your convenience, you may
park in the teacher parking lot and
walk to the library.
Any questions, feel free to call me
at school between 7:45 a.m. to 8:45
a.m., or leave a message and I will
return your call (793-3131).
Go Raiders!
Karen Cloud
A note
of thanks
It sure is nice to find out how much
you are loved.
I don't know how to even begin to
thank all the people who came
together to help me during this diffi-
cult time of my life.
I found out that you can refuse
help for only so long before the won-
derful people of this county, come
together and plan a huge benefit.
I would like to thank each person
individually, but that would probably
take up this whole paper, and I would
be afraid that I would leave someone.
out
I want to give many thanks to
Donna Rowe and the Seminole Club
of South Sumter, my classmates,
friends, relatives, performers,
churches, businesses, clubs, SSHS,
and all those who contributed their
time, talent and charitable gifts in
my behalf.
You all worked so hard and give up
so much time out of your life to help
me with mine and I will never forget
it
Thank you all so much for every-
thing!

Looking forward
to Raider talent
Football season has started
again, and I am looking forward
for a championship. For the past
feW years, the Raiders have had
very good players, which have
made good teams. The classic that
was in Brooksville-Hernando was
a good game, a game that South
Sumter won. The game didn't
count, but we won.
Now headaches, stress, disap-
pointments are starting to begin. I
was hoping for a win against East
Ridge, the Raiders had the GAME
WON. The Raiders are a better
team than East Ridge; the Raiders
out-played them. South Sumter
had two TD ahead of their oppo-
nents; you have less than 5 min-
utes to play, and lose, something is
wrong. If it's a play where a player
is to receive the ball and the play-


er is not open and you have two or
three other players that are open,
why not throw the ball to the open
player? Will he drop it? I don't
know, but I watch a lot of college
and pro football games and when
a. team messes up a lot and lose
often, they get rid of the coach.
I like the game and want to con-
tinue supporting the Raiders.
There are more than two players
on a football team.
It seems that every year every-
thing falls back on the coaching
staff. Who are calling the plays.
What's wrong?
South Sumter should have
walked away with a win, big time,
against East Ridge. We have some
obedient kids playing for the
Raiders because they are doing
what the coach says, and it shows
that the coaches are wrong for the
Raiders to walk away with lost
games.

So, let us take time to relax,

of these applications sent to you,
and why they came from two dif-
ferent agencies.
Also, let us not panic, in the
event that you failed to receive a
form. Remember, these were just
applications to see if you qualified
for a reduction in premiums,
deductibles and co-insurances.
The intention of these applica-
tions was that simple; they were
not meant to be the enrollment
applications. Enrollment will not
take place until Nov. 15, 2005, and
will continue until May 15, 2006.
I know that this has caused
much confusion. However, this
was not the intention of the gov-
ernment. -

The 20 million, pieces of mail
that came from SSA were some-
what different. These were book-
lets to find out if, by income and
asset testing, you qualified for a
reduction in the cost of the above-
mentioned program. The SSA
mailed these sequentially, by your
Social Security number, -so it is
probable that spouses would
receive them at different times.
As you are reading this, the
mailing program is terminating.
The maximum income for a par-
tial subsidy for a couple is $19,245,
and maximum assets are $23,000.

Joining forces with
Mothers Against Drunk
Drivers (MADD) and
Students Against Drunk
Rivers (SADD), the Center
Hill Police Department
recently joined the You
Drink, You Drive, You Lose
campaign by sponsoring a
riad safety check in two dif-
ferent locations.
The police department
spent an evening checking
vehicles on Friday, Sept. 19,
near the old school house
building on State Road 48
and then the following
evening near the Potato
Shack restaurant
I After two evenings of moni-
toring motorists, 143 traffic
citations were issued and six
arrests were made.
As vehicles were stopped
on the road those with obvi-
ous violations were sent into
the parking lot of the Potato
Shack where a more thor-
ough check was performed
including checking that occu-
pants were wearing seat belts
qnd that window tint levels
were within legal limits.
;Center Hill Police Chief
Roger Odom said he wants
the public to know that the

Department can do its job
and still hav e officers be
courteous in the line of duty.
The public responded in
kind with no complaints
about being stopped. There
was one incident where three
young women felt they were
being profiled but Odom
spoke to them personally and
showed them that the two
vehicles surrounding them
were serious violators under
the influence that could have
just as easily ended in a head-
on collision had the check-
point not been in effect.
The women left happily
after shaking hands with the
chief and thanking him for
watching out for the public.
Their sentiments were mir-
rored by many of the people
stopped including many of
those that had been cited.
The Check Point Team con-
sisted of 20 plus people
including law enforcement
from Center Hill, Bushnell
and Sumter County; retired

zens of Center Hill.
The 143 citations given out
over the weekend included
several for suspended dri-
ver's licenses, failure to have
proof of insurance, failure to
use seat belts and failure to
have registration.
The six arrests were for
driving under the influence,
disorderly intoxication, driv-
ing with a revoked license,
possession of methampheta-
mines plus paraphernalia
and possession of marijuana.
Mayor Barry said, "We
want the community to know
we are here to protect them
and keep unsafe drivers off of
the streets. We want Center
Hill to be a safe place to live."
Dwight Gearheart owner of
the Potato Shack said he was
honored to participate in the
campaign as he believes in
giving back to the community.
Gearheart provided support
for the volunteers as well as
food and drink during the
evening that lasted from 6
p.m. to 3 a.m.
"We will be having more
saturation patrols and more
check, points sporadically
from now through Labor Day.
We have zero tolerance
here," Odom said. "Center
Hill can expect new and bet-
ter things."



Panasoffkee youth off to Europe


Justin Wagoner is an 11-
year-old Lake Panasoffkee
youth.
- Wagoner was selected for
the People to People Student
Ambassador Program and
will spend 20 days touring
France, Switzerland, Austria
and Italy.
"I feel great! I feel very hon-
ored to receive such a rare
opportunity," Wagoner said of
the award.
Nominated by one of his
teachers, he enjoys helping
out at school and home and
works hard to be successful
and get good grades.
"I've always tried to do my
very best"
His mom is his inspiration.
"She encourages me to do
my best"
,. Among his most memorable
experiences in life was a trip
to the Boggy Creek Asthma
Camp.
Wagoner believes that,
"Studying hard, learning all
that I can and getting good


grades will help me when I
grow up to get a good job."
He's friendly and sees that
as strength. He's also very
good in math and reading.
His family includes his
mom Sherry Wagoner, her
boyfriend Jeff Amstutz and
Wagoner's "brother" Jesse
Amstutz.
He has two older siblings -
Jodie McElrath and Robert
Hines.
As for the future, "I would
like to be President someday,
because I think I can make a
difference."
The prograin is touted as
"educational exploration"
and was founded by the late
President, Dwight D.
Eisenhower.
His trip will give him a
chance to scale the Eiffel
Tower, visit a World War II
.concentration camp, bobsled
through the Austrian moun-
tains and enter the Roman
Coliseum.


After being reviewed by five
professors in the field of

cle be submitted for publica-
tion.
In August 2005, the research
paper was published in The

Palms for Central Florida


Since palms play a big part
in the Florida landscape,
careful thought should be
given to their selection and
location. Palms, like any other
trees, have problems; the bet-
ter one understands the prob-
lems and follows directions
will result in a healthier palm.
Here are the palm species
the University of Florida rec-
ommends: Cabbage Palm
(also called sabal palm) is the
best palm for central Florida.
It is native to Florida, is toler-
ant of most soils and tolerates
extreme temperature swings,
and is hardy to Central
Florida. Eighty feet tall and 12
feet wide is common.
Saw palmetto is another
Florida native palm, which
grows only six to 10 feet tall,
and often has a blue-green
frond color. The pindo palm is
from Brazil, does well in well-
drained soil, and tolerates
freezes down to the teens.
Grows to about 20 feet tall and
10 feet wide.
European fan palm, native
to southern Europe, prefers
moist, enriched well-drained
soil. Grows to about 15 feet tall
and four to eight feet wide and
freezes at about 20 degrees.
Canary Island date palm
comes from the Canary
Islands, prefers well-drained
soil and tolerates tempera-
tures down to the teens. It gets
about 50 feet tall and 25 feet


wide.
Washington palm is, a native
of Mexico, grows in most any
type of soil. It freezes at about
20 degrees. It grows to 80 feet
high and 10 to 15 feet wide.
Parlor palm, native to
Central America, prefers
moist enriched organic soil
and grows to about 12 feet tall
and 6 feet wide. It is ideal for
container plantings, so it can
be moved to a save place or
covered when frost is forecast
because it freezes at about 30
degrees.
Queen palms come from
southern Brazil and
Argentina. Freezes at about 20
degrees. Eighty feet tall and
15 feet wide, which is normal.
Lots of Queen palms are
planted around here, but are
not recommended by the uni-
versity because of its inability
to stand up to hurricane type
winds, its susceptibility to bud
rot and its cold sensitivity.
Sago palm has a palm like
stout trunk but is not a palm, it
is a cycad. It likes well-trained
soil and is able to withstand
freezes down to in the teens.
Grows to about 15 feet high
and about 8 feet wide.
After you have chosen your
favorite palm and the place
for it in your landscape, it is
most important that the palm
is well planted. What you do
for a plant any plant before
you plant it is more important

than anything you can ever
again do for that plant. It is
very important to transplant
palm trees at the same height
that they were originally
grown.
We are fortunate indeed
that, relative to most land-
scape plants, a well-grown
palm remains fairly free of
damaging insect pests.
Nevertheless, certain insects
will occasionally attack land-
scape palms in sufficient
force to warrant control meas-
ures.
Insects you want to look out
for are aphids, scales, spider
mites, palmetto weevils, and
various caterpillars.
Disease problems like leaf
spots, sooty mold, bud rot,
roots or trunk rot could be a
problem.
Palms have special fertiliza-
tion needs. The native palm
such as the cabbage/sabal
palms need little if any sup-
plemental fertilizer.
Martin Grum is a Sumter
County Master Gardener, for
help with any garden or land-
scape advice call the Sumter
County Extension office at
352-793-2728.

ATTENTION ALL

SECO CUSTOMERS
Due to the severe damage caused by Hurricane Katrina
fuel supplies, particularly natural gas, are currently
in short supply. The Florida Reliability Coordinating
Council's state capacity emergency coordinator has
appealed to all users of electricity in the state
to conserve as much energy as possible.
We at Sumter Electric Cooperative (SECO) are
urging our customers to cut back as much as possible
on their use of electricity until the fuel shortages
thpt are affecting the state are resolved.
Our electric supplier Seminole Electric has also had
its fuel supplies reduced and is stressing
the need for conservation.
Cutting back on air conditioning, use of hot water, lighting,
etc. will certainly help. There are a host of energy saving
tips customers can employ and they can be found on
SECO's Web site at www.secoenergy.com.
Help avoid any major disruptions in your electric
service by cutting back your electric usage now.
By doing so, everyone will benefit.

Road safety

checks are

scheduled
The Bushnell Police
Department will be conduct-
ing DUI checkpoints and
DUI saturation patrols on
Sept. 2 to 4 in the vicinity of
West Hwy. 48, East Hwy. 48,
and East Nobel Avenue as
part of the You Drink &
Drive, You Lose Labor Day
National Crackdown.
The You Drink and Drive,
You Lose national crack-
down runs from Aug. 19
through Sept 5. The goal of
the crackdown is to save
lives.
"Many people choose to
celebrate with alcohol dur-
ing the summer," said Joyce
Wells, chief of police.
"Unfortunately, some of
these people also choose to
drive after drinking. The
goal of this checkpoint is to
identify and apprehend
these impaired drivers
before then can kill or injure
others."
Preliminary crash statis-
tics for 2004 indicate that
more than 1,050 were killed
in alcohol-related traffic
crashes last year. During the
official Labor Day holiday
periods in 2002 and 2003, a
total of 35 people were killed
in alcohol-related crashes.
"We encourage everyone
to act responsibly during the
Labor Day holiday," said
Wells. "If you intend to drink,
make arrangements to get
home safely. Use a designat-
ed driver, public transporta-
tion or a taxi. Remember, if
You Drink and Drive, You
Lose."

Welcome Back Bash


BRENDA LOCKLEAR

When it's time to return to
school, there's nothing like a
little "Welcome Back Bash!"
And that's just awaited stu-
* dents at the Sumterville cam-
pus of Lake Sumter.
Community College last week
',The bash includes free
pizza, drinks and a chance to
learn what the school has to
Offer in additional services.
Student government coordi-
nates the events. They deter-
hmine Where and when to hold
the gatherings, based on the
time when the campuses are
busiest.
Student Acti ity
Coordinator Heather' Elnfatti
serves as a guidance for fhe'
crew, with help from Student
Activities Assistant Melinda
Peterson.
Elmatti. said they hold a
bash at the beginning of every
semester. They set up tables
with information about every-
thing from fine arts to servic-
es available on the other cam-


puses.
For example,' they have a
discount card program that
includes businesses in Lake
and Sumter, who offer the stu-
dents discounts.
They even have a fine arts
magazine and the advisor is
based at the Sumter campus,
Elmatti said.
School tuition helps fund 22
different school organizations
available to students.
The student government
group is in the process of sup-
porting the troops.
They're currently asking for
goods or donations that can be
sent overseas for soldiers.
Students around the state,
through the Florida Juniof
Community College
Association, have taken this
on.
Along with the items to
send, either by purchasing
and donating themselves or
gathering from other donors,
they're also working to get the
packages to the soldiers and
leading a writing campaign.,
They want letters to go to
the soldiers.

New study shows women's health care similar to men's at VA


DAN BAKER
Service Officer

Mien and women receive
remarkably similar outpa-
tient care at the Department
of: Veterans Affairs (VA),
according to a study pub-
liWhed in the Journal of
General Internal Medicine.
The study looked at nine
measures of quality care that
are equally appropriate for
women and men, including
pneumonia and influenza
vaccinations; colorectal can-


cer screenings; and eye
examinations for diabetics, to
determine what percentage
of VA patients received
appropriate care for their
gender.
Men were more likely to
receive appropriate services
in five of the nine categories;
women in the other four.
"Many recent studies have
shown that the quality of care
VAs health care system pro-
vides is second to none," said
Dr. Jonathan B. Perlin, VA
Under Secretary for Health,


and one of the study's co-
authors. "We are proud to
demonstrate that this state-
ment is true for women veter-
ans as well as for men."
Today, women veterans
make up approximately 10
percent of VAs patient work-
load. This percentage is
expected to grow in the years
ahead as women make up
more of the military.
Few previous studies have
looked at disparities between
men and women in ambulato-
ry care settings other than


VAs. Several studies, howev-
er, have shown that women
often receive poorer care
after being admitted to hospi-
tals for congestive heart fail-
ure, coronary heart disease,
and other common medical
conditions.
The study's lead author, Dr.
Ashish K Jha of the Harvard
School of Public Health,
believes that the equal .care
the study has demonstrated
may be related to the large
strides in health care quality
VA has achieved in the past


decade.
According to a study recent-
ly completed by the RAND
Corporation, VA patients now
receive better care then the
average American in 348 sep-
arate measures of health care
quality
The new study, titled
"Quality of Ambulatory Care
for Women and Men in the
Veterans Affairs Health Care
System," is the first to deter-
mine that men and women
have shared equally in this
advancement.


"VA is pleased by this
study's results, and by all we
have accomplished in the.-
past decade to improve veter-
ans' health," said Dr. Perlin.
"We intend to continue our
efforts to ensure that every
veteran enrolled with us
receives the finest care avail-
able anywhere."
If you have any questions
please call your local "

Pasco Regional Medical Center offers Lap-band surgery


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

There are plenty of weight
loss procedures and surgeries
out there but Pasco Regional
Medical Center in Dade City is
promoting what's touted as
orne of the newest and the
"sAfest, least invasive and only


adjustable surgical treatment
for morbid obesity in the
United States" the Lap-
band.
The surgical team promot-
ing the procedure includes
doctors P Krishnaraj, Lee
Grossband and Richard
DiCicco.
The doctors have per-
formed the surgery on


patients from Pasco and
Pinellas counties, as far south
as Naples and as far north as
Jacksonville.
The surgery typically takes
about 30 minutes but it
depends on the weight of the
patient, where any fat is con-
centrated and whether the
patient is male or female.
Women are typically easier


Ian DesVignes (third from left) is shown with the surgical team of Dr. P. Krishnaraj, Dr. Lee
Grossband and Dr, Richard DiCicco.


because they carry their
weight on their hips and
thighs "out of the way,"
Grossbard said.
Men carry much of their fat
in their bellies, which giyes
surgeons more to work
through in the lap-band sur-
gery.
Several tiny incisions are
made and long slender instru-
ments are used to implant an
adjustable silicone band
around the upper stomach.
The band creates a new, tiny
stomach pouch that leaves the
person with an earlier sense
of fullness and satisfied with
smaller amounts of food.
The surgeon can even
adjust the band by adding or
removing saline to an inflat-
able balloon on the surface of
the band, for customized
weight loss. The band can be
adjusted during outpatient
visits.
Without cutting, stapling or
stomach rerouting, the proce-
dure is touted as the least
traumatic of weight-loss sur-
geries. Hospital stays are gen-
erally less than 24 hours,
including an overnight stay.
There is no permanent


change made to the body, so
the procedure can be
reversed.
Candidates for the surgery
must have a Body Mass Index
of at least 35 with a co-morbid
factor, or 40 or more without.
Co-morbid factors include
hypertension, arthritic prob-
lems, Type II diabetes, liver
disease or sleep apnea.
As a matter of fact,
Grossbard had, the procedure
done himself.
Ian and Terry DesVignes
are two of his patients. One of
the reasons they had the sur-
gery was their children.
Terry, 37, expressed the dif-
ference the lap-band has
made in her life and said she
spent the day with her son at a
theme park recently, walking
about 15 miles without short-
ness of breath. She was never
able to do that before always
having to go back to the room
to rest every couple of hours.
She became tearful when
she quoted her son asking her
if she could race with him
now.
Ian, 34, was only two weeks
out from his surgery in July. "I
feel great,". he said. He is


already experiencing less ,
back pain.
While they've done the pro-.
cedure hundreds of times,,.,
Ian, who's had gastro intestin- '
al surgery, is the first case of-.
lap-band over bypass that they
know of.
Ian said there are several
variables that have made this
surgery more positive includ-
ing the support group.
In the gastro surgery, he..,
said he felt he was pretty
much by himself, with no who
had been through it to discuss
or understand what was hap- .
opening with him.
Some of the difficult
moments even included going,.
out to restaurants with'.
friends.
"Everybody's looking for,
you to eat because they
remember the old you," he ,
said with a laugh.
The cost of the surgery 3
ranges from $16,500, which is -
what Pasco charges, to about ,
$30,000. The cost for gastric
bypass is between $25,000 and.
$50,000, doctors said.
For more information about,.
the surgery at Pasco, call 1-',

Hurricane Katrina devastat-

not much that can be done to
eliminate the damage from
the winds and water, people
can prepare for their own

time to plan is now. When
advised to evacuate, don't
wait It may be to late, and
then you could become
trapped. Take plenty of food
and water for both you and
your pet. For safety's sake,
most pet friendly shelters will
require that your pet be crat-
ed, so bring one with you.
Carry current vaccination
records, and be sure your pet
is wearing identification tags.
Put pictures of you and your
pet together in a plastic bag to
use as identification if your


pet should get lost.
Take all these precautions.
Remember, as heartbreaking
as it is, material items can be
replaced. But your life and the
lives of your family members,
both human and animal, can
never be replaced. The safety
of you and your pet should be
your top priority. Your furry
companion will depend on
you to keep him safe. In
return, you will have saved the
most important treasures in
your life yourself and your
loyal companion.

JR' When it comes to looking out for your money, a lot of banks just aren't

making the grade. (Or perhaps you've done the math on your "free checking"

account and determined that a service charge here and a service

charge there does not equal free.) That being the case. there's no better

time to become enlightened about joining a credit union. -; See, banks exist

for one reason: to return profits to shareholders. At credit unions, profits go

right back to members in the form of lower rates on loans, higher earnings

on deposits and free and low-fee services. Consider what you can get at

Suncoast: Free checking with no minimum balance or monthly fee. You also

get free access to your account at branches. ATl-Ms, bv phone and the internet.

We even provide free bill pay. And you'll find friendly. experienced advisors

"It's going to be a real excit-

he said.
For the Raiders, Friday's
night game follows a loss to
East Ridge last Thursday
night in Clermont. Played a
day earlier than expected
because of the threat of
Hurricane Katrina, South
Sumter toppled to the Knights
with a final score of 28-27.
The game was season open-

state, started the evening off

"I thought we were not con-

coach Robert Lindsey.
"However, we showed a lot of
character by playing very

said Lindsey of the
Longhorns.

Lindsey said he plans on
more team play during that

"Tavares is a very well-

ROBIN EDDINS
Times Correspondent
The JV Wildcats didn't get
much of chance to perform
last week when they took on
Lake Weir on Tuesday, Aug.
23.
After halftime, the game
was ended because of bad


weather and lightning.
JV Wildcat coach Paul
"Skip" Austin said it was a
first for him but gave .some
indications of things to come.
"I thought we played hard
arid did some good things but
we must get consistent on
both sides of the ball," Austin
said.
"I was very pleased we


were able to move theball
but had two fumbles that
stopped drives.
"On defense, we were out-
sized but never allowed a
touchdown," he said.
The team should have a
better chance to showoff
their stuff during their next
game in Hernando County
The Wildcats will face the


Springstead Eagles in Spring
Hill tonight, Thursday, Sept.
1.
Game time is 6 p.m.
Austin's plans for this week
are to "work hard, eliminate
mistakes and worry about
what we do.
"I just want to play a full
game," he said.


SUS OVf speedLL Llways


success of speedways


W hen you .look at the
success at Citrus
County Speedway
this season, it's really hard to
understand why some tracks
are closing up for
good.
Across the coun-
try local racetrack
promoters are clos-
ing their gates and
forcing drivers to
park their racecars
for good. I want to
know why.
First it was news
that Sunshine
Speedway was shut-
ting down. K
S u n s h i n e BOL
Speedway closed
last year to make
way for a continuing growing
community in desperate need
of a new highway.
Recently, Hialeah
Speedway ended their race-
track operations for good.
With each closure, Citrus
County Speedway has moved
up on the age ladder and is
now the second oldest race-
track in the state. Ocala
Speedway is the oldest and is
the reason Citrus County
Speedway came into exis-
tence back in 1955.
Celebrating 50 years of auto
racing is a huge accomplish-
ment and the Inverness race-
track has provided a place for
local auto racing enthusiasts
to compete on a weekly basis.
It's served as a new home
track uprooted racers not
wanting to call it quits after
years behind the wheel.
The biggest impact to local
racing here in Citrus County
has come in both the Figure 8
and Modified divisions. Both
fields provide fans full fields
of competitors and a high
level of excitement.
The Figure 8 division still
has its regular drivers like for-
mer champion Robert Aaron,
Dwayne Fulls, Gary Swing
and Curtis Yoemans. But add
in Darryl Hage, Rodney
Davis, Clifford Rousseau,
Charlie Meyer, Robbie Hage
and more and you've got quite
a show.
Seventeen drivers took to
the Figure 8 course at Citrus

the 39 drivers reg-
istered in the divi-
sion the Sunshine

they have found
their way to compe-
tition here at
Citrus County
Speedway.
With this, it's
M clear to see how
NGER the closing of
SS u n s h i n e


Speedway has
impacted our local racing
scene.
The Modified division has
also grown over the last year
and includes drivers like for-
mer late model driver and
Modified champion Billy
Bechtelheimer, champion
Robert Ray, Butch Bassett,
Tommy Schnader and Jimmy
Wagner. The driver's list is 36
drivers strong with those who
have chosen to come to
Inverness to compete.
It's also been a breeding
ground for new and upcoming
talent like Mike Bell and
Curtis Neumann. Both have
found success in other divi-
sions at the local racetrack
over the last three years.
Curtis Neumann is the most
recent winner in the division
after leading Billy
Bechtelheimer, Rick Haugh,
Jimmy Wagner and Robert
Ray to the checkered flag,
Neumann comes with an
extensive family history of
racers, all of whom has won
championships : in their
respective divisions at Citrus

proved that he had what it
took to make it to the win-
ner's circle.
Neumann is more than a
Citrus County Speedway
standout
His contribution to his
scholastic, community and
racing career has earned him
a $1,000 scholarship from the
Q Motorsports Family
Student Racer Scholarship
Program.
And there were board
members from the program
at the racetrack to watch him
not only take his first trip to
victory lane in the Modified
division, but dominate the 13-
car field in the process.
The scholarship program
was developed by Leonard A.
McCue and recognizes the
balance between racing,
school, family values. com-
nuinity involvement, physical
fitness,.;i!v,,n.entrepreneurial.
efforts and good sportsman-
ship;
Sanctioned racing venues
that are included in the pro-
gram are motorcycles, go-,
carts, motorized water vehi-
cles, .radi6o-controlled cars,
QT midgets,t drag racing, cir-
cle track racing and road rac-


ing. Students from first grade
through high school are eligi-
ble to apply to the program.
His move to the Modified
division was a huge step in
this young man's racing
career, but it was a step he
was ready and willing to take.
Neumann will receive his
scholarship -award at Citrus
County Speedway on Sept 10.
With so many good things
happening at Citrus County
Speedway it's hard to believe
that there are racetracks out
there that are failing miser-
ably.
Racing is an expensive
sport and is probably the
biggest reason for the loss of
short tracks across the coun-
try. The rising cost of fuel, the
shortfall of available racing
tires, growing operational
expenses are all validating
reasons.
I'm just glad that there is a
promoter here in Citrus
County willing to take the
chance at keeping the sp6rt
alive.
It's not an easy task, and it's
one that comes with a load of
grief that muost.-would bull-
doze into thfl f ouind in the
name of progress.
This weekend's racecard
includes the Thunder Stock
50, Mini Cup Cars, Late
Models, Super Stocks, Mini
Stocks, Hobby Stocks and 4-
cylinder Bombers.
