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 Please see TAX, Page 2 HONORING ETHEL ANYD JOHN STEPHENS $60,000 raised for Stephens scholarship AMANDA MIMS Slaff Wnriter Around 550 former stu- dents, colleagues, fellow chu rch members, friends. and supporters filled the South Sumter High School gymnasium on Saturday.

Sumter population increases substantially Animal Control Supervisor John Hezlep said this pit bull mix that recently attacked a Bushnell 5-year-old would be destroyed after a quarantine period is over. He said the dog had been impounded for bit- ing another child earlier this year. Dog attacks boy, 5 AMANDA MIMS 'Staff Writer 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 BOB REICHMAN Editor 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.

HONOR continued from Page 1 official colors of the FFA. The program, which was held in the style of an FFA meeting, began with the Lord's Prayer, as Mr. Stephens' classes always did. Banquet organizers placed Mr. and Mrs. Stephens in rock- ing chairs on the stage, so they were easily seen by audience members. Speakers included several notable former students, including County Commis- sioners Randy Mask and Joey Chandler, Superintendent of Schools Rick Shirley, and TAX continued from Page 1 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 Circuit Judge Mike Johnson. For many of the speakers that evening, the banquet was an emotional event, and most talked about the moral values 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, and Pepsi apparently the usual snacks provided by Mr. 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 slide show of old photos was shown, and the Stephenses were presented with several honors, including a ,Distinguished Achievement award given by UF Senior Vice President of Agriculture Jimmy Cheek Former student and current Chief of the Florida Unclaimed Property Program Walter Graham presented the couple with a resolution rec- ognizing their accomplish- ments signed by Governor Jeb Bush, Attorney General Charlie Crist, Chief Financial Officer Tom Gallagher, and Commissioner of Agriculture Charles Bronson. Within the next week, Graham said he would be nominating John Stephens to the Agriculture Hall of Fame. 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 study for, both districts. Chandler requested that the information be developed for two districts as it is now, and for a possible single district Hoffman' tried for the increase with a motion to set the new rate, but it died from lack of a second. Roberts' motion to leave it at the $56 level was approved with a three to one vote - Hoffman dissenting. When commissioners got around to dealing with the proposed regulations for "Class I" landfills, things moved along relatively quick- ly and the new rules were approved unanimously. Tuesday night's discussion was a continuation from the second hearing in the ordi- nance approval process. Most of the changes to the original draft were worked out last week They included Mr. Stephens was given the 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." changes in the thickness of the double plastic cell liners from 100 mil to 60 mil and the 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. BITE continued from Page 1 same day. 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 also have a 3-year-old child who lives there. Law enforcement and ani- mal control officers who responded to the East County Road 48 emergency call were able to contact the owner, Martin Serrano, according to the report. Unsuccessful attempts were made to con- tact Serrano. Animal Control Supervisor John Hezlep said that inci- dents like these are handled on a case-by-case basis, and every situation is different. After the February attack, which occurred at the owner's residence, the victim's par- ents said it was an accident., THezlep 'said. The-dog was not labeled "vicious" by animal control at that time. "We can see right now it's not accidental and (the TfN GIVE US A CALL News Department ........ Circulation .................... Retail Advertising ......... Classified Advertising ..

In addition to the.' fines, there is a $40 boarding fee for the mandatory first ten days and $4 for each addition- al day the dog is kept by ani- mal control. He said the dog is now considered "vicious" and, if the owner chose to keep it, he would have to' maintain a special license to' own it and have to comply-' with stringent restrictions involving special fencing and'. posted signs. The dog would: also have to have a special tat- too, so it could be immediate-.. ly recognized as a dangerous: animal, he said. The require-. ments would have to be met, and fines paid before the dog. could have been returned to its owner. In cases like this, Hezlep said that often the owners choose not to take the animal back because of what is involved in meeting the"- requirements. "It gets quite expensive," he said. If an owner fails to comply, with the requirements, ani-" mals become property of the county and may be destroyed.

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. Photo by Amanda Mims 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. Oak Grove Cemetery Association continues for 145 years AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer 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. MJ.

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.

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 Sumter County Honors John 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! Lori Maier Martin 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, think and remember the purpose 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. - Some 10 million notices were sent from CMS, or what we would There is a possibility that this might change. However, your cost would not be more than $5 per. prescription, per each 30-day sup- ply. That's it end of the notifica- tion from CMS. 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. Going to the games is an outing for a lot of Raider fans. We wait for football season. Going to the games away and: home, getting upset, blood pres- sure going up, headaches, just, simply getting sick over stupid, calls and plays that don't make' sense for the Raiders to lose witi' the talent that they have. In my opinion, every player is good.

The panic-proof guide to dealing with Medicare I TA SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2005, PAGE 5 Center Hill stages checkpoints Mater GARDENER ROBIN EDDINS Times Correspondent 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 Robert Reynolds Center Hill Police 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 police officers, the U.. S. Boarder Patrol and a drug- trained dog, the Center Hill Fire Department, Mayor Ralph Barry and his wife Nita, Dwight Gearheart, owner of the Potato Shack, as well as other concerned citi- A Sumter County School District employee recently had a research paper published by in a national journal.

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 -Educational Leadership at USF, it was suggested the arti- cle be submitted for publica- tion. In August 2005, the research paper was published in The National Office for Research, Measurement, Reynolds and Evaluation hnology Systems and the University of at South Arkansas. r High The journal is a ool. refereed scholar- ol ly journal. This means when an article is submit- ted for publica- tion it is reviewed by at least two experts in the related field who recommend it for publication. The article is furthered reviewed and edited prior to publication by the University Press. This process took over one year from its' initial sub- mission to publication. 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 SMULBERRY - |, GROVE PLAZA HWY 42 I re2 SIN THE VILLAGES Hearing Aid repairs 2595790 all makes and models SOUTHERN TRACE PLAZA Ba S e FREE NO HWY 466 Battery Sale OBLIGATION OXFORD 9 HEARING 751.S712 99 war75 1 3- -n 2, iLlT, lt-crtm.I Justin Wagoner 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.

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."

PAGE 12, SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 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 " Veterans Services Offices at Bushnell Office or Villages Annex, 352-793-0235 or 352- .; 753-2686. 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.

Although there is not much that can be done to eliminate the damage from the winds and water, people can prepare for their own safety as well as the safety of their pets. I hope that the peo- ple who lived in the impacted areas evacuated with their pets. We are only half way through hurricane season, with the most active portion of the season coming now. Do you have a disaster plan in place for yourself and your animals? After seeing the fury of Hurricane Katrina, and the flooding and damage left in the aftermath, it is important to realize how dangerous it would be to leave your .pets behind. Don't wait for another hurri- cane to head our way before you come up with a plan.

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.

Harmony, 0-10 last season, led the Wildcats 26-0 at the half and continued with strong play until the end of the game. Wildcat sophomore Akem Rose ran a goal-line touch- strong football tradition. "It's going to be a real excit- ing Friday night of football," 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- ers for both teams and East Ridge's debut in Class 6A. South Sumter, the fifth- ranked Class 2A school in the state, started the evening off strong. The Raiders appeared to have the game with an impressive 31-yard pass play from Jarrod Fleming to Akem Rose down in the third quarter for Wildwood's only score. But Harmony came back in the fourth with another touch- Jarrod Fleming Richard Kelly that gave the Raiders a 27-14 lead with 3:33 left in the game. down.

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 Date LI .1 County Speedway Saturday night. Joey Catterelli came from ninth to win the event over Clifford Rousseau, Wayne Calkins, Rodney Davis and Charlie Meyer. -- They call this group, and many of the 39 drivers reg- istered in the divi- sion the Sunshine (Speedway) gang as 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 County Speedway. I have watched him from the very first night of practice and knew there was some- Ihing diftTerent ,about this young racer. He got his beginning in one of the toughest divisions out there, the Hobby!

Other age groups played throughout the day beginning around 9 a.m. RACES continued from Page 15 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.
