At the meeting, Center Hill City Council mem- bers could adopt an ordinance to annex 1,470 acres where the Iro? proposed plant and cod& mine will be located. . The meeting begins exco at 7:30 p.m. at the meeting room across from City Hall on South Virginia Avenue. Sumter Cement Company, LLC, applied for annexation last week, and City Clerk Diane Lamb said the ordi- nance strictly refers to annex- ation of the land and not mine permitting. Sumter Cement purchased the land in May and spoke to City Council members in July about their intentions for min- ing, cemerit manufacturing, and intentions to annex into the city. Though council members Helping Fundraisers and clothes gatherings cropping up BRENDA LOCKLEAR Staff Writer Next-door neighbor, down the block or around the cor- ner, it doesn't really matter to Sumter residents. They're ready to help. In recent weeks. Sumter residents tossed together funds and donations and work to help out local resi- dent Lori Maaier-Martin, as she deals with recovery from an automobile crash. A w eek later, they gathered funds to staml a scholarship in the name of Bushnell resi- dents John and Ethel Stephens, honoring him with a special fundraiser dinner - he was an honored teacher to hundreds. Last year, Sumter resi- dents dealt with just getting ice and water and a shower after a series of hurricanes tramped across the state. This \week, they're reach- ing out to residents of the Gulf Coast region who have been victims of Hurricane Katrina. Fundraisers and clothes gatherings are cropping up around the county., "'Some schools are asking for cash, but I'm just asking for food, diapers, water cloth- ing, things like that," said teacher Theresa Woodend, at West Street School in Bushnell. She's emailed teachers around the county and plans to get the supplies to shel- ters, possibly in the area stur- rounding New Orleans. She said since she started her drive, she's heard that they don't need food. water or clothes, but rather toi- letries. She's been in contact with one particular shelter: about 100 miles north of New Orleans and they're taking in 80 dozens of families. On a "'right here at home" have had little discussion pub- licly on the proposed cement plant and mine, residents and others have expressed con- cerns about allowing such operations. Though the coun- ty has approved modifying permits in favor of two cement plants on mine property recently, county commission- ers voted August 30 to oppose the annexation of Sumter Cement property. nically, Center Hill's current e expressly prohibits minin Ovation operations within t] limits.. Among concerns area resi- dents and county commission- ers have is that the company could circumvent county restrictions or mining and cement manufacturing by annexing into the city. Ironically, Center Hill's cur- rent city code expressly pro- hibits mining and excavation operations within the city lim- its. The Sumter County Commission unanimously. approved the resolution opposing annexing property into Center Hill for the pro- posed lime rock mine/cement plant development Commissioner Michael Francis was absent for the meeting. The resolution came after Center Hill area resident John Megan asked commis- sioners for their support in opposing the proposal. Commissioner Jim Roberts asked if the issue would be forced into a refer- endum if the com- mission opposed. tcity The answer is t city 'no,' said County g and Attorney Randall he city Thornton, but the board could "take a position" on the issue. Thornton noted that cities some- times take in land for things that counties don't want to approve. Commissioner Richard Hoffman suggested the resolu- tion objecting to the annexa- tion. "If nothing else, it would help to make the residents aware of the issue," he said. Roberts commented that the county has a "vested inter- est" because of the potential impact on local roads. He moved for approval of the res- olution and Hoffman provid- ed the second. .2;] L Plant Layout PMProety )S.WaeWtaI~h~j1471 acres T"e plansit o m ld Nkcrjted naiwaist ~1hpre.1Z)lohmb~ri Tme qiosf~e aak~&rzh~e sebaftk ofailet W" 1w T~n r' popewt PaSfttt'47 Acsesi SPtan+ Entmace 'e'Mam n4~3-d 'a to reamain urgalected byaviwig ml vanr Area (cc ctexiinar;* etn am, aiitvpsme'm1i toWd - A-CmQ6 Q Iur; (9 acrs UBMI u~-AM This map provided by Suwannee-American Cement, which is owned by the same companies as Sumter Cement, shows plans for mining and manufacturing cement in 1,470 acres outside the city limits. Several maps, including this one, were displayed at a Center Hill workshop in July when the company presented the council with intentions to annex. But before there was to be a vote, Commission Chairman Joey Chandler asked for some clarification of just what the board wanted in the resolu- tion.

For example. Wildwvood resident Melanie Colt called her kids' soccer league board members and asked if they knew anybody who had an old stove. That, according to league board member, Scott Coblentz. It turns out she found a family of five who needed placing. They were expected to arrive earlier this week to live in her mother-daughter apartment. The family includes a, mother, two college-aged daughters and three boys - ages 13. 10 and 4. They lived in Jefferson Parish. In the meantime, Coach Harry Mathews collected cash, which the family is used for gasoline- money between here and Louisiana. Coblentz said they've asked soccer league board members about adopting the family. He said Colt has been *working to get things taken care of, from plumbing work by Pat the Plumber, to a free Stove and free furn i tu re. She's even working to get the pantry stocked with food before the family returns. Coblentz said they've asked for a wish list, which they plan to. try and, fill.

Dwayne Williams was arrested and charged with the following: possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of marijuana under 20 grams, and posses- sion of drug paraphernalia, according to the release. Bond was set at $11,000. The arrests stemmed from a six-month undercover opera- tion by the Sheriff's Office. Officers executed a search warrant on the 12th Street home owned by Sesler, and found 20 grams of marijuana and paraphernalia in his jeans pocket, according to the release. They also found 73 grams of cocaine in a clear plastic bag inside his bedroom, as well as a Smith and Wesson handgun and 11 grams of crack cocaine in his closet. Officers also dis- covered cooking materials for manufacturing crack cocaine According to the release, they also found a dog-fighting ring inside a barn on the prop- erty, which was carpeted and appeared to be bloody. It was surrounded by chairs and couches.

With the ris- ing prices of gaso- -- line we need to cut finances any way we can. Learning quick clean tips and recipes is only one way of saving money, time and energy. There are plenty of other things you can do, - too, to simplify - those necessary MAR tasks so you'll have MAD time for the more important things in life. We are going to share some kitchen and cleaning hints that will be useful. For more information in the area of Family and Consumer Science, contact the University of-Florida, IFAS, Sumter County Extension Office at 352-793-2728. Kitchen Hints: Keep a box of baking soda or a carton of salt near the stove; both can be used to extinguish kitchen fires. If you don't have hot water to rinse your sides with, dip t I r i C I 0 the dishes in a solution of a gallon of cold water and 1% cup of liquid bleach; wipe the dishes thoroughly with a clean towel, and -s store in a clean, dry place. To make defrost- ing the freezer a breeze, wipe the inside with a clean towel, but a small amount of shorten- ing on a paper nap- kin, and wipe the metal with it Next time the ice builds ITHA up, it will fall off )DOX with ease. Cleaning Hints: To clean the glass of an oven door, sprinkle bak- ing soda on a damp cloth; use circular motions to wipe over the entire door, dissolving baked-on stains. If food boils over in the oven, sprinkle the spill gen- erously with salt while the oven is still hot; once the oven has cooled, scrape up the spill with a pancake turn- er. Sprinkle newspaper with water before you empty your vacuum cleaner bag onto it; the dust won't scatter. To get mildew off paper, sprinkle cornstarch over the mildew, let it stand for at least 48 hours, and remove it with a soft brush. To keep newspaper clip- pings from turning yellow, spray them lightly with hair spray. Use two or three coats, waiting for each coat to dry between applications. Removing Odors: To pre- vent fish from smelling while you cook it, squeeze lemon juice on all surfaces and let stand in the refrigerator for an hour before cooking. To eliminate bathroom odors, strike a match. Wipe fresh lemon juice on your hands to take away the smell of onions. To get rid of onion or fish smell on your hands, rub your hands with a stalk of celery. When cooking cabbage or sauerkraut, put half a cup of vinegar on the stove near the pot or add a small chunk of red pepper to the pot it will absorb the odor, but won't affect the flavor. Keep a small bowl of bak- ing soda in the refrigerator and the freezer to eliminate strong odors.

Monte McBryde, who is in the process of having a home built on 155 acres on County Road 736 bordering the mine land, said he opposes the annexation and plans for the property. "I am definitely against annexation. I own property surrounded by where that mine will be." -Ms. Cheston's employer, Thomas E. Langley Medical Center, is paying her, for the days she is taking off to lend a professional hand. In addition, staff members donated funds to assist with the team's gas and expense costs. Among his concerns are traffic problems he believes the business will create, as well as the proposed mine and plant's potential effects on property values. Referring to council mem- bers, he said, "I can't believe intelligent, concerned people would do this." There will be another ordi- nance read at the meeting regarding land use changes for the 250-acre Florida Grande Motor Coach property that council members voted to annex into the city earlier this year, which also caused some controversy. your suitcases, wipe the inside with a mixture of bak- ing soda and water and let the suitcase dry in the sun; put a few drops of cinnamon oil on a cotton ball and tuck it inside. To remove food odor from a lunchbox, wipe the inside out with baking soda and water, and let the box dry in the sun. To get rid of onion odor on utensils and knives, rub them with either raw potato or cel- ery. To freshen the air, try one of the following: Sprinkle a few tablespoons of cinnamon or nutmeg in an old alu- minum TV dinner tray or pie plate, and heat it on the stove until the spice is completely burned up. Put a few whole cloves in a piece of orange peel in a tin or aluminum pan; burn until it is ashy. Dab your vacuum cleaner bag with cologne. As you vac- uum, the scent will subtly fill the house.' To get rid of body odor that didn't disappear during laun- dering, soak the clothing in a mixture of one cup of salt in a gallon of water for at least an hour; repeat the laundering. You can make your own behind, while the husband returns to Mississippi to work He can live in a tent, but he's leaving his family safely here, according to Provance. He said a major concern is to ensure that there is a bal- ance not depleting services available to those residents already here, while helping the new residents. At North Sumter Intermediate School the question of the week is "Got a dime?" or a nickel or a quarter. Students are bringing in their silver change to help with the relief effort for storm victims. Coordinated by Jerry Vaughn, the effort is slated to take place from Wednesday, Sept 7 through cleaners at home and save money. Try these helpful recipes: Window Cleaner: Mix in a quart bottle: 2 cup rubbing alcohol, 1-1/2 tea- spoon ammonia and 1-1/2 tea- spoon liquid dish soap. Fill the quart bottle to the top with water and shake vig- orously. Pour the mixture into a squirt bottle; use it to clean windows, mirrors and porce- lain. Furniture Polish: Two cups mineral oil and 6 drops lemon extract, if desired. Put the mineral oil in a spray bottle. If you want a scented polish, add the lemon extract and shake well. Spray a small amount of fur- niture and polish with a soft, clean cloth. Outdoor Cleaner: Half gallon warm water, 2-3 tablespoons laundry or dish- washer detergent and 1 table- spoon liquid "Jet Dry" or other dishwasher wetting agent. Mix ingredients. Brush or sponge on window. Immediately hose off. Water Saturday, Sept. 14. They have a goal of $1,000.00 and the money will be sent to the American Red Cross. If they reach goal, they're even promising ice cream to all the students. North Sumter Primary stu- dents are also coordinating an effort, but details weren't available yet The South Sumter NJROTC will be collecting to support West Street's efforts and South Sumter High School teacher Karen Cloud is organizing a rivalry of epic proportions. In friendly rival fashion, she's asked the Wildcats and the Raiders to "BRING IT ON!" Both schools are collecting will sheet off, no drying neces- sary. Caution: Be sure windows are tightly closed.

They are marking their money for the Salvation Army. South Sumter is collecting for the American Red Cross and they'll be meeting at half- time to tally up and see how much they pooled together. They'll also be collecting at the game, so if you'd like to make a donation, make checks payable to the American Red Cross or the Salvation Army and drop them at the front office or at the game.

R SUMMER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2005, PAGE 3 Feeling the effects of fluctuating fuel costs AMANDA MIMS AND ROBIN EDDINS After crossing the $3 mark last week, gasoline prices seem to be leveling out, but not after placing a financial strain on some consumers. Nationwide, the weekly price for a gallon of regular grade gasoline for Sept. 5 was nearly $3.01, up almost $1.22 from a year ago, according to the United States Department of Energy. In just days following Hurricane Katrina's landfall on the Gulf Coast, consumers saw a 50-cent jump in gas prices in some areas. Florida's gas prices were only slightly higher than the national average, according to the DOE. Last Wednesday at the Sunoco gasoline station in Wildwood, people lined up at the pumps, many claiming to have been told that no gas would be sold after midnight. Regular grade gasoline was being sold for $2.83, while at the Circle K across the street, gas was sold completely out at $2.89 per gallon. Resident Tonya Lewis said, "This is worse than crazy. It's all because of the hurricane but people are here filling up their boats and their campers, too. It's ridiculous." Businesses, as well as con- sumers, are feeling the effects of changing fuel prices. Over Labor Day weekend, a sign in front of the Sumter County Farmers Market read, "No Livestock Sale Sept. 6 Due to Fuel Shortage." But according to AAA South, "There is some posi- tive news coming from the hurricane ravaged refinery areas in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Three of the damaged refineries are now operating at near capacity levels as is a major pipeline serving Georgia, Tennessee and other areas of the Midwest and Northeast. In addition, at least one more damaged refinery is expected to come "on-line" this week, but at limited capacity." Throughout Florida with the exception of the Panhandle, gasoline supplies are increasing, as well as in Georgia and Tennessee, according to the AAA South Web site. Photo by Amanda Mims While higher fuel prices have plagued consumers recently, energy problems have likewise impacted local business. This sign was up Labor Day weekend at the Sumter County Farmers Market in Webster. Kim Lankist, Stephanie Nimkovich, Michaella Williams, Autumn Yinger are shown at Discovery Science Center in Ocala.

As many are aware, annexing improved pas- ture covering almost >. 1,500 acres to be used ' for mining and cement manufacturing is at the" very least a very weighty issue and -, deserves serious, hon- est consideration. For anyone with con- cerns that haven't been AMe brought to council mem- M bers, whether you're inside or outside the city, today could be the last day to let leaders know what you want for your home surroundings and your city before the ball really gets rolling on this project. And for those who may support this project, it's equally important to let them know this so they can make the most informed deci-' sions possible. From what we've seen, many in Center Hill have done their part in letting city leaders know how they feel about these big issues that seem to just keep coming. And although some already have, there really hasn't been a whole lot of opportunity for citizens to voice concerns in a public forum about this one and what the council does tonight will most likely have lasting effects on the city for years to come. - This is a particularly turbulent time for the city in terms of proj- ects coming in and also because of the frustration some people are feeling with city government. Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bronson is warning motorists about pricing problems at older gas pumps following several complaints from consumers. Callers to the Department's hot- line have complained that the price posted at the pump is actually per- half-gallon and when they go to pay the cost is doubled. The problem is that older model pumps are technically unable to post any price beyond $2.99. So gas stations are setting the price at half the actual cost and dou- bling the amount at the checkout. It is illegal to do this and inspectors are being sent to the stations in ques- tion to close down the pumps and investigate the situation. Gas stations can purchase a retro- fit kit to correct the, problem, but until they do that, the Department is forced to take the pumps out of serv- ice.

The county commission has also formally opposed the annex- ation. z The council will tell E you the decision tonight has nothing to do with mining or cement man- ufacturing, but it's real- I ly the company's first step in building a min- ing/cement manufactur- "- ing operation there. n Annexation into the NDA city could mean easier NDA permitting than going S through the county. While it's a perfectly legitimate strategy for a business, it's not okay for a city to embrace what appears to be an unwanted project with open arms. This annexation is going to affect many people outside the city, as will much of the decisions the council has been making late- ly. Obviously there're a lot of com- panies and developers eyeing land in Center Hill, and the city has been receptive to them. But from what we've been able to hear, the decisions being made do not seem to reflect the wishes of residents or those nearby who are going to feel the impacts of those decisions. People outside the city limits may feel like the council has no obligation to them because they do not vote for Center Hill repre- sentatives, but in this case espe- cially, the council must think about the people and land this project could impact, which will stretch far beyond the bound- aries of Center Hill. amount of sale on the pump. "It appears that when these pumps.. were manufactured many years ago, no one foresaw the possibility that gas prices would surpass three dol- lars," Bronson said. "The gas stations aren't necessari- ly price-gouging, they seem to be try- ing to get around the technical prob- lems with the pumps. Unfortunately, this is not the Way to go about it" The Department has received complaints from Floral City in Citrus County and Silver Springs in Marion County from consumers who may not have realized the. posted price was per-half-gallon and the cost would be doubled when they went to pay. Bronson is asking consumers to report these types of incidents to the hotline at 1-800-HELPFLA (1-800- 435-7352). The Department is mindful that the availability of gas is important and will be working with gas stations that utilize older model pumps to correct the situation. Your Why has our government failed us? The primary responsibility of government is to protect the well being of all citizens. .1 am sorry to say that our present government has recently failed to carry out this primary responsibili- ty. To see our fellow citizens suffer like they are now is dreadful! There obviously has been little or * no advanced planning to deal with this foreseeable tragedy. Government officials have been warned for years that as the result of global warming and other weath- er phenomenon that the Southeastern United States was in a 20-year cycle of increased severe hurricanes. Instead of making. plans to prepare for this inevitable catastrophe, our government alffi- cials did nothing, to prepare for what we now see along the gulf coast. As a result of this failure, we now see people go without water or food for days, and many people have not been rescued from rooftops of water-filled homes. Why? Something is terribly wrong! Why wasn't food, water, medical supplies, clothing, bedding, etc., pre-positioned at military bases or National Guard armories along the gulf coast so that distribution of these necessities could be carried out in hours instead of days? Our government failed the citizens. The FEMA Director and the Homeland Security Secretary give excuses and rhetoric for people in need not receiving services. Why weren't Naval ships deployed sooner? Why wasn't the National Guard deployed sooner to provide securi- ty from looters and shooters? Why has it taken so long to get food and water to those in need? Why? It is certainly true that planning and effort would not have prevent- ed this terrible hurricane from hit- ting the gulf coast, but proper pre- planning and effort by our govern- mental agencies could have possi- Sbly saved lives and made the lives of survivors more bearable after the fact. There is no excuse for this failure of FEMA and Homeland Security. Someone must accept responsibility for this ineptness. Government officials should be ashamed of this fiasco. Citizens need to feel protected and not given numerous excuses for the lack of protection and basic necessities in a timely manner. We can spend billions on an unnecessary war in Iraq but cannot afford to protect and take care of our own citizens in a timely fash- ion. Why? People along the gulf coast deserve an honest answer. Our peo- ple deserve better. Robert H Edwards Bushnell A blessing not in disguise Salvationarmyusa.org is a bless- ing.

Ruthie Kelly The Villages Senior ADVOCATE Questions pour in about Part D of Medicare SDan, I have a question, but please don't use my name." A.: This is the primary request that I receive from about 75 percent my readers. I am amazed! Either all of my readers are up to some type of shenanigans, or they fear their own govern- ment. I truly believe that it is the latter. . A county sheriff once told me that when fraud , is perpetrated upon the elderly and reported, the innocent victim of Dp the alleged fraud actu- Ro ally "freezes up" when they are visited by a uni- formed police officer. Often they choose to drop the mat- ter. If one has done nothing wrong, then they have nothing to fear from their local police. Also, when fraud is perpetrated upon the eld- erly, it is usually "paper fraud." A better way of explaining it is, quite simply, these low-life schemers, whether they are painting your home, putting on a roof, or pre- tending to.be an insurance agent, make sure that it is a civil matter, never crossing the thread of a criminal matter. And the last thing a conniver wants is to ever see you again, especially in criminal court. Note: members of the profes- sions that are mentioned are usu- ally lawful business people. Likewise with your federal and state governments. It may seem at times like they are out to get you, but there are laws that protect you. And if you are legit- imately receiving a ben- efit, there is no way that it can be taken away X from you. My policy: Everyone is granted anonymity; I never use names, and I always shorten the .. questions to a mini- mum, direct to the S point. This way, my answers can be longer AN in depth and detail. HAN Also, all correspon- dence sent to me is destroyed after I have answered you, or resolved a specific problem. Q.: "Dan, I have Medicare and I have decided to enroll this fall or whenever I can. Am I doing the right thing?" Q.: "Dan, when I receive the new prescription drug benefit, will our premium be deducted from our Social Security check, like the rest of Medicare?" Q.: "Dan, we are thinking about joining the new Medicare drug program. How much will it cost us?" A.: Your questions about Part D of Medicare, the prescription drug benefits, continue to pour in. However, I expect this type of question to increase. I suggest that you cut out and save some of these Q and As. Unfortunately, whether you should join the new program is ultimately up to you. I believe it to be a sound, viable plan, although the final guidelines and classes of medications have not been agreed upon. United States Pharmacopeia, the government contactor, to create the formulary, has suggested a formulary, but the Department of Health Human . Services has not reached a con- clusion, primarily because of pressure from the pharmaceutical industry. The plan is good, if everyone joins. However, if only those who are ill join and the healthy opt- out, the program will become a costly disaster. The monthly cost of the core benefit is estimated at somewhere in the area of $20 to $40 per month, depending where you live. The current estimated national initial cost would be $32. There will be 34 regional districts and the cost is dependent upon the region in which you reside. Currently, you may pay by monthly bank draft, mailing a check monthly, both to the insurer, or have it deducted from your Social Security check, like Part B. Whether or not this will be your choice is not certain. Keep my green tea warm, and I will talk to you next week. Send questions and comments to "Senior Advocate," 1624 N.

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2005, PAGE 9 Critter CHATTER FWC finds no signs of CWD in Florida Sheri Evans, Linda Graves, Lucille Fusco, Diane Hartman, and Mitch Byrnes were vaccinated by the Health Department in prepa- ,* dINS Florida's deer herd reveals no signs of chronic wasting disease (CWD) after three years of testing for the fatal disease, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). The FWC tested 558 free-ranging deer during the past year and more than 1,800 deer over the past three years, and none tested positive for CWD. CWD is a progressive, neu- rological, debilitating disease that has been detected in and affects captive and wild herds of mule deer, white-tailed deer and Rocky Mountain elk in several Midwestern and western states. It attacks the brain of infected animals, causing them to become ema- ciated, display abnormal behavior and lose control of bodily functions. No south- eastern states, including Florida, have been hit by the lethal deer disease thus far. "We still need to be vigilant in our monitoring efforts. We hope CWD never makes it to Florida, but early detection will be key to limiting the spread of the disease, if such an outbreak should occur," said deer program coordina- tor Robert Vanderhoof of FWC's Division of Hunting and Game Management. This hunting season, the FWC is again turning to' sportsmen to help monitor the state's deer herd for CWD. "We are asking hunters to " report any sightings of sickly 1 or scrawny-looking deer," , Vanderhoof said. "If you see ' such a deer, please call toll- free (866) CWD-WATCH (293- ( 9282). Wildlife biologists will - respond and if necessary col- lect deer tissue for testing. It's important to contact us as soon as possible, because CWD testing must take place within 48 hours of a deer's - death to produce reliable - results." ; Clinical signs include - excessive salivation and grinding of teeth, increased drinking and urination, dra- N matic loss of weight and body condition, poor hair coat, stag- gering and finally, death. More information on CWD is ' available at MyFWC.cQm/CWD. The Web ' site also provides links to human and wildlife health : agencies for more in-depth information about the deadly , disease.

The pre-recorded mes- sage, scheduled to telephone households between the hours of 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. said: "The American Red Cross Florida's Coast to Coast Chapter needs your help now for Hurricane *Katrina relief. We need your support with finan- cial" contributions, blood dona- tions, and local volunteers. To assist, please contact your local Red Cross Office at: Citrus, (352) 564-8455; Flagler, (386) 437-5800; Hernando, (352) 799-3237; Volusia, (386) 226-1400; Lake, (352) 314-0883; Marion, (352) 622- 3457; Sumter, (352) 793-1901. Unfortunately, the computer system failed and calls were made to people from 10:30 p.m. through 5 a.m. Many people were upset by the time of the calls and thought this was a scam. "The Florida's Coast to Coast Chapter of the American Red Cross regret this error and hope it will not affect your ability to assist us with your support," said Pam Hamlin, Director of Public Affairs. "Thank you for your support." Association urges energy conservation Florida's municipal electric utilities today issued an urgent request for all Floridians to con- serve energy as the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina has begun to affect the state's ability to pro- duce electricity. The flow of natural gas - used to produce approximately 34 percent of the state's electric- ity has been reduced by dam- age to production facilities and infrastructure in the Gulf Coast region. "Florida is receiving about 70 percent of the natural gas it needs to produce electricity," said Barry Moline, executive director of the Florida Municipal Electric Association (FMEA). "Obviously, this sharp reduction in available energy could limit the electricity that can be produced and distributed to customers. That is why energy conservation is absolutely. cru- cial." Utilities around the state are already moving to back-up fuel supplies, but those supplies are only designed to last for days, not weeks. Simple conservation measures will greatly help extend the effectiveness of those supplies. Here are some sugges- tions: Adjust thermostat settings for air conditioning to 78 F degrees or higher, if health permits; keep temperature readings con- stant until notified that the ener-' gy shortage has passed. When you're not going to be home for .an extended period, raise the thermostat setting to 82 degrees or higher Close curtains and blinds to help insulate homes and build- ings against cooling loss. Avoid using room air condi- tioners; turn them off when you leave the room or home. Reduce use of all non-essen- tial electric appliances. Run your dishwasher and wash and dry your laundry later in the evening. Turn off all non-essential lighting and electric appliances, such as pool pumps. Turn off lights when you leave a room or when they aren't needed. Shower later in the evening or early in the morning. Leave refrigerator and freez- er doors closed as much as pos- sible. If someone in your home is dependent on electric powered, life-sustaining medical equip- ment, check back-up facilities. Cook outdoors, use a microwave oven or small appli- ances like a toaster oven or elec-, tric skillet to avoid heating up the kitchen and adding moisture to the air Microwaves use less than half the power of a conventional oven and cook food in about one- fourth the time. About FMEA: The Florida Municipal Electric Association (FMEA) represents the unified interests of 33 public power communities across the state, which provide electricity to more than two million of Florida's residential and busi- ness consumers. For more information, visit www.publicpower.com. 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 short- ages that are affecting the state are resolved. Our electric supplier, Seminole Electric, has also had its fuel supplies reduced and is stressing the need for conserva- tion. Cutting back on air condition- ing, 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.

'This article will cover questions that are asked most fre- quently when deal- iig with a hurricane and important state agency phone num- bers. ' Keep these phone numbers handy for easy reference. For * more Family and MAR Consumer Science MADI information contact the. University of Florida, IFAS, Sumter County Extension Service at 352793- 2728. I was without electricity for 8 days. Will my homeowner's insurance coverage pay for the food I lost in my freezer? How about the food in my refrigera- tor? Call your insurance compa- ny, if the loss of electricity occurred because of conditions away from your property there is a strong possibility there will be some coverage. For exam- ple if the lines are down some place else you may be covered. If the break is in your yard you may not be covered. Many com- panies have a limit on the amount they pay, for example $250. To collect, make a list of what has to be thrown away and take a picture of it Give the pictures to your insurance company for documentation. My neighbor's tree fell, knocked down my fence and damaged my house in the storm. Will his insurance pay for: my fence? No. Repairs to- my home? No. The deductible on my insurance? No. Your insurance pays for your damage. You are responsi- ble for the deductible you THA chose when you DOX bought your insur- ance. Neither you nor your neighbor knew the tree would fall so it is called "an act of God." He is not liable because there was nothing he deliberately did to get the tree, to fall on your house. My roof leaked, my ceiling has large yellow, circles. Must the insulation be replaced when the ceiling tiles are replaced? Yes, since the water came from the roof through the insu- lation and wet your ceiling tiles. The insulation was .soaked and packed. It should be replaced to avoid mold and mildew. Also,- the insulating qualities are damaged. Should I tape my windows when preparing for a hurri- cane? Does tape help keep the windows from breaking? For years many felt tape helped strengthen windows. Recent studies say it does not strengthen the windows. It does help keep the glass from spreading over a large area if a break should occur. If windows are taped, the tape should be removed within a few days. If not, it is almost impossible to remove. I rent an apartment If my furniture or possessions are damaged by the storm is the landlord responsible for the damage? No. The landlord's insurance covers repairing the residence. You, the renter must have your own renter's insurance to be reimbursed for your losses. If I have major damage should I wait for my insurance adjuster or call an independ- ent adjuster? There are two types of inde- pendent adjustors. Most insur- ance companies employ their own adjustors. They work only for that one company. Insurance companies that do not employ their own adjustors hire an "independent adjustof handles work for several com- panies but is not employed by any of the companies. He does the work as the requests are received from dif- ferent companies. He is paid per job by the insurance com- pany. The public adjustor is contracted by the consumer and asked to evaluate his dam- age. The adjustor is paid by the consumer. He becomes a medi- ator, between the consumer and the insurance company's adjustor. But, the amount of money paid for repairs has to be approved by the insurance company's adjustor or repre- sentative. So generally you save money by working directly with you insurance company. Are public (independent) adjustors required to have spe- cialized training or certifica- tion? Yes. They must be licensed with the state of Florida, and are required to pass a special or qualifying exam. Before employing an adjustor check with the state to be sure the individual is licensed or certi- fied. How much do public adjus- tors charge? , By state law they can charge no more than 10 percent of the award. Do insurance companies pay for damaged or destroyed trees? Trees add value to the property. No, insurance companies do not pay for trees or shrubbery. My insurance policy has a hurricane coverage rider that increases the deductible. How much can they deduct? Do all insurance policies in Florida have this rider? Not all policies have this increased deductible at this time, but many do. It resulted from the tremendous losses from major hurricanes experi- enced during the last few years. The hurricane related deductible is expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount of the insurance policy. Example: Maybe you insured your $150,000 home for $100,000 with a $500 deductible. Your policy has a rider that says the deductible for hurricane damage is 3 per- cent of the policy. If your house is damaged in a hurricane your deductible would be $3,000 ($100,000 X 3 percent). If your kitchen caught fire and damaged your home, the deductible would be $500. Your insurance policy will tell you what percentage is your deductible. It can't be more than 5% of the maximum of your insurance. Be sure to have a copy of your insurance policy along -ER C O - with all your important papers and documents in a safe place just in case you need it Important state agency phone numbers: PRICE GOUGING: Florida Attorney General -1-800-646- 0444; Florida Dept.

These materials accounted for 20 percent of the waste dumped in landfills. Florida has passed legislation that prohibits lined landfills from receiving this so called yard trash as of January 1992. Much of this trash can be recy- cled on site as mulch. Pine needles, leaves and grass clippings can each be used alone as a mulch or in combination. Of the three, pine needles are the best mulch material. They are attractive, not easily removed from beds by wind or rain, and don't mat down excessively However, they don't last more than six months due to rapid decomposition. Leaves can be used alone as mulch, however, they are difficult to keep in place in windy locations and are easily washed from beds during heavy rain showers. Leaves perform best as a mulching material when they are shredded and\or compost- ed. Grass clippings are the least desirable mulching material. They are easily transported by the wind, decompose very rapidly, and pack down to form a mat that can exclude air and water from the root zone. They should be spread very thinly over the ground, mixed with other mulching materials, or better yet, composted with other yard waste. Plant trim- mings such as twigs and small branches should be shredded before they are used as mulch. A mechanical chipper/shred- der is needed for this process. Yard trash is readily avail- able in many yards and so it is a very inexpensive source of mulch. However, there -is some reluctance to use it as a mulch because it is not as attractive as some of the more expensive mulch materials. This problem can be over- come by adding a thin layer of a more uniform mulch over the yard trash. Mulch can be used around plants in beds or around indi- vidual trees and shrubs in a lawn. Eliminating grass from around plants greatly reduces the competition for water and nutrients from the turf and increases the growth rate and health of trees and shrubs. When mulching, individual trees in lawns, create a circle of mulch about two feet in diameter for each inch of trunk diameter. Increase the size of mulched area as the tree grows. Pull mulch 6 to 8 inches away from the stems and trunks of plants. The high moisture environment creat- ed by mulch increases the chances of stem and trunk rot, which can result in plant death. In addition to being useful around plants, mulch can be used as a groundcover for walks, trails, driveways, play and natural areas. It can be used to cover low growing, tender plants to protect them from frost injury. Mulch can also be composted and used as a soil amendment for flower and vegetable gardens. The amount of mulch to apply will depend on the tex- ture and density of the mulch. Compost and many wood and bark mulches are composed of fine particles and should not be applied any deeper than three to four inches (after settling). Excessive amounts of these fine tex- tured mulches around shal- low-rooted plants can suffo- cate their roots causing chlorosis (pale green leaves) and poor growth. Coarse tex- tured mulches such as pine needles and pine bark nuggets, which allow good air movement through them, can be maintained at a depth of 4 inches. .Mulches composed solely of leaves or grass clippings should never exceed a two- inch depth. These materials have flat surfaces and tend to mat together restricting water and air to plant roots.

With four minutes into the 1st quarter, the Raiders set a trend of putting points on the board and this trend started with Zach Robinson and was followed by an extra point to put the first points on the board fort the home team..- The Varsity captains Mark Sallee, Mario Elder and Brady Jackson were making stand out plays and defend- ing the team's points with strong play during the game. The 1st quarter included multiple first downs and sacks. Within the 1st quarter, the Raiders had put 2 touch- downs complete with the extra point, with a little over 2 minutes to spare. When the 2nd quarter began, the Union County Tigers took their first touchdown scored by Josh Mitchell, but the Tiger extra point was no good. Shortly before halftime, Zach Robertson ran a long drive into the Tigers side of the field culminating in another strong drive and finally a short run to score another touchdown for the Raiders by Zach Robinson. It gave the Raiders a two- touchdown lead against the Tigers six points. But with The Psychology club of South Sumter High made this sign for Friday's game, at which the South Sumter Raiders beat the Union County Tigers 49 to 20. 6:36 left in the 2nd quarter, Memphis Jackson ran a strong touchdown for the Tigers and the Tiger extra point was again no good. On the return kickoff to the Raiders, after the second Tiger touchdown Raider Carlos Everett ran a strong and long run. The last part of the 2nd quarter featured a fumble by the Raiders but was recovered back The closest the game got was just minutes shy of half time when the Tigers were trailing the Raiders by only one point making it a 21-20 ball game. When, in another run, Nick Southall ran a long run to score another touch- down for the Raiders, re- establishing there lead. The extra point was once again good. Third quarter high- lights were most notably with the Tigers recovering the ball after a fumble and running a strong run. Former Raider football coach Brent Gaustad was on the sidelines observ- ing the new Raider team in its new season and was very proud of the team he former- ly coached. "Offensively they're just schooling this team," he said. "It's just like watching an orchestra; it's beautiful." But with only minutes left in the 3rd quarter, Carlos Photo by Steven Ayers Nick Southall scores a touchdown for the Raiders during last Friday's game against the Union County Tigers. Everett scored another touchdown for 34 points on the board for South Sumter. The extra point was also good. Shortly after, the Raiders ran for another touchdown and yet another successful extra point. The final quarter of the game was one of true excite- ment, with Matt Williams for the Raiders running another touchdown for a lead of 49-20 with 7 minutes left in the game. With only minutes left in the 4th quarter, the Tigers ran a strong drive but that wasn't enough to catch up to the predominant Raider lead. N The Raiders took the game 49 to 20. Head coach Inman Sherman said, "I couldn't be more exited. There's been some criticism of us about playing good teams and tonight I think we proved why we did." Asked about next week's game against Wildwood High School, Sherman said, "You know, we really haven't even thought about it yet. We put so much effort into these last two games, we just want to really enjoy this moment." RAIDERS DEFEATED BY TAVARES Wildcats take a loss to Tavares ROBIN EDDINS Times Correspondent The Wildwood Wildcats gave a good, hard try last Friday night but the varsity team was unable to compete against the constant battering of the Tavares Bull Dogs offense leaving a final score of 26-12 at Dr. Argin A. Boggus Stadium in Tavares. The Bull Dogs started off pounding Wildwood and didn't let up until the game was over. A Quarterback Sneak led to the first score against the visit: ing Wildcats. The T-Dawgs led the end of the first quarter 13-0 which included a 3-yard touch- down. The Wildcat defense really seemed to come into their own in the fourth quarter holding back a lot of the effort by the Bull Dogs. Two offensive players stood out during the game, Brian Hinkle and Brandon Sweeney, although many, of their plays didn't pan out as expected. The Wildcats took .over the ball on the Bull Dog 40 yard line in the 4th quarter and here the offense came to life and ham- mered Tavares to the goal line, scoring a second TD for the game and missing the extra point with the ball going wide to the right of the goal posts. Improvement was evident as the Wildcats' gap improved greatly from last week's loss to Harmony, 34-6. Coach Robert Lindsay said, "Getting down 13-0 quick didn't help but I felt that the effort was much better than last week," said Wildcat head coach Robert Lindsay following the game. "We're getting closer." The coach added that while it was too early to tell, he said the game Friday against South Sumter is going to be tough although it's different now because the two schools play in different districts. Wildcat JV defeats Springstead Photo by Steven Ayers Thursday, Sept. 1, marked the inaugural game for the South Sumter High School Junior Varsity Raider football team.

JV Raiders take loss against Tavares STEVEN AYERS Times Correspondent Thursday, Sept. 1. marked the inaugural game for the South Sumter High School Junior Varsity Raider foot- ball team. The Tavares High School Bulldogs took the win 7 to 0, even after a valiant effort by the Raiders to even the score and take a victory. The 1st quarter started off strong for South Sumter after receiving the ball in the kickoff. But after some plays in the Raider offense didn't work out as planned, there was a turnover to the Tavares Bulldogs. Cedric Jenkins of the Bulldogs in the middle of the 2nd quarter scored the first and only touchdown of the game. The extra point was run as a held goal. Tav'ares dominated the game for the most part that evening, with sacks attack- ing the offensive Raiders and strong runs and first downs against the otTensive Raiders as %well. At half time, the score of the game had not changed, with the Bulldogs leading with' a 7-0 lead. In the 3rd quarter, even though the Raiders hadn't managed to even out the score, fan support had not left the South Sunmter fans. Injuries seemed to plague the 3rd quarter for the Raiders, with both 45 and 32 sustaining minor injuries. Both players are okay. Raider offense player Devon Price tried valiantly to run for a touchdown. only scoring a 1st down for the Raiders. At the end of the game, with 4:21 left in the 4th quarter it had became do or die time for the Raiders, who made strong efforts to tie the game in hopes of a chance to win in overtime. Unfortunately that never happened and the game ended with the Tavares Bulldogs wining the game 7- 0. After the game, Bulldogs assistant coach Thomas Scott commented, "We knew coming in tonight it would be a hard-fought game." Head coach of the Bulldogs Buddy Nobles said. "We made some men- tal mistakes. but I'm proud of my kids, and I'm proud of my community for showing up."
