Established 1881 SUMTER COUNTY I VOLUME 121 NUMBER 36 35 CENTS INSIDE Calendar ......... ... 22 Church ................ 6 Obituaries ............ .6 Police Report ..........9 Tidbits ..............26 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 20051 Large distribution site proposed for Sumterville MARTIN STEELE Times Correspondent Sumter County could become the home of a new, large-scale distribution center according to a proposal to county commissioners on Tuesday. They approved two actions to help draw the prospective new business, including approval of a resolution that is needed for the business to apply for certain state tax incentives. Secondly, the board approved a request by Bushnell officials to help pay for preparing applications for grants to help pay for extend- ing water and sewer lines to the project. Diana Lee, executive direc- tor of the Sumter County Economic Development Council, presented the pro- posal to the board and asked for the resolution. Bushnell City Manager Vince Ruano asked the com- mission to pay for half of the city's fees for grant consulting needed to help fund the extension of municipal servic- es to the proposed site. The commission also agreed to Ruano's request to authorize County Attorney Randall Thornton to work with the city's attorney to develop a three-way inter- local agreement between the prospective business develop- er, the county and city. While the development council is working on getting the project underway, it is withholding some of the specifics of the project. Lee disclosed that the pro- posed site most of it zoned industrial is near Sumterville, but would not identify the specific location. Commissioners did note that it was apparently adjacent to county property in that area. Other details were listed in the resolution- *The prospective business owner is Ferguson Enterprises, Inc., Newport News, Virginia. *The company plans to establish a wholesale plumb- ing supplies distribution facil- ity. *The company proposes to invest approximately $26.8 million to build and equip the facility. *It would employ up to 150 workers. "It is an opportunity to bring in some much needed tax base," Commissioner Jim Roberts said. Commissioner Michael Francis agreed. "It sounds almost too good to be true," he said. It would encourage a business to come into the county without costing the county.

Cleaning through to the hard bottom of the lake along the western shoreline north through Idlewild Lodge, the area's northernmost tfish camp, is scheduled to be com- pleted by the end of October, according to Michael Holtkamp of Southwest Florida Water Ml;anagement District .Among the project's goals is removal of 8.2 cubic yards of sediment from the lake as well as removal of unwanted emergent vegetation. Officials have said about 800 acres, or 22 percent of the lake's total area, have been lost due to sediment in the lake since the 1940s. According to the project's 2004 annual report, the lake is the third largest ofabout 1,800 in West Central Florida. The Lake Panasoffkee Restoration Project is over- seen by a council, which includes representatives of lakefront property owners, a biologist, attorney. and a rep- resentative of the spoil fish- ing industry, which are all appointed by the Sumter County Commission. Created in 1998, the Lake Panasoffkee Restoration Council was formed to devel- op1) and implement the restoration plan, with the goal of improving fish habitat, restoration of the shoreline. and improving navigation throuleh the lake. The $22.5 million endeavor has been divided into four steps. The first, which was completed in 2000, %was the dredging of the Coleman Pilot project The dredging of 210 acres along the western shoreline has taken more than a year, but Holtkamp said he antici- pates faster progress through this next phase, and the same amount of dredging along the eastern shoreline could take 90 days.

PAGE 2, SUMMER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 COUNTY continued from Page 1 Chandler said he would like to have more information before voting for the resolution. A number of local business- es would like to get the same type of revenue matches the proposed new business could be getting, he said. He also noted that he had received phone calls from adjoining property owners who had con- cerns about the project Lee said the board's approval of the resolution would not obligate the county to any costs or tax breaks. And, in a future phase, the company is also interested in establishing a lumber cqmpa- ny at the site, Lee said. She assured the board that she was not asking for any money for the project. However, her presentation was followed by Ruano who was asking for money. Ruano said the city can pro- vide fire protection, water ind sewer if it can get the infra- structure to the site. For that, multiple grants from assorted agencies would be needed. He asked for the commis- sion to approve spending up t $7,500 for consulting work on the grants. The interlocal agreement he proposed would have provi- sions for the fees to stop before that amount if the proj- ect did not proceed. He also noted that it would have a clause for the company to reimburse local government for their expenses if the proj- ect was abandoned. Chandler reminded Ruano that the county had financially R(IqNI'MWUIMll1M assisted the city with its Sumterville wastewater plant with the concept of it becom- ing a somewhat regional facil- ity. He asked the city to pursue providing services to not just the site, but the vicinity. In other business: Commissioners approved a text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and two land use amendments for proj- ects in northern Sumter County. But they rejected a change on agricultural land in the Lake Panasoffkee area. The text amendment will allow developers to get a greater housing density on agricultural land by selection of location and improvements to the properties. It establishes a point system for obtaining the greater den- sities. For example, a develop- er could gain points by creat- ing wildlife habitat or adding infrastructure. A developer could also get points by prox- imity to schools, highways, medical facilities and such. But, the maximum overall density that could be obtained would be one home per every three acres. The minimum lot size would be two acres. A developer "can't get points on location alone, they have to get at leas half of the points for improvements," Development Services Director Robbie Roger said. "We wanted to protect rural areas this is as good as it gets," Roberts said. As for the actual land use amendments, the board approved two large-scale amendments: Sumpter PAGE 2, SUMMER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 Ventures, LLC, and the Phillip and Joy Fore property. The board agreed to change 48 acres from agricultural to medium density residential for Sumpter Ventures. The property is adjacent to the Villages and borders County Road 100 in the Cherry Lake Community. The Fore property involved changing 46 acres from agri- cultural to commercial. The property is located in the northeast quadrant of the pro- posed Interstate 75/County Road 466 interchange. It actu- ally involved simply switching land use designations with an approximate size tract on the west side of 1I75. There was no public com- ment on the proposals and lit- tle by the board. However, the proposed land use amendment for 2 Bud Ranch, LLC, drew criticism from area residents and the board. The request was to change the land use on 80 acres in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of County Roads 479 and 416 from agricultural to rural residential. The former use allows one dwelling per 10 acres and the latter would have allowed one dwelling per acre. But, in earlier hearings the property owners had agreed to a one home per two-acre den- sity. * Roberts argued that there was no need to "turn ag land into an advantage for the developer." He supported citizens' claims that there was approxi- mately 800 acres of undevel- oped rural residential land already in the Lake Panasoffkee area. After considerable discus- sion, Roberts's motion to deny the amendment was approved. Commissioner Michael Francis cast the only vote against denial. "One house on two acres is not urban by any means, it's nice," Francis said. FEST continued from Page 1 plans to make the Airfest an annual event.

Staff Writer c The fact that Lane Purcell is still deeply missed in .Sumter County is obvious, even nine months after his death in January. Last Friday morning, Ilozens of residents, commu- nity leaders and business owners gathered to show sup- port during a special dedica- tion service at the Bushnell Public Library. City officials hosted the gathering and unveiled a ,stone monument with Purcell's image, as his wife, daughter and son, sister and .other family looked on emo- While Purcell Is still missed by family, friends and commu- nity, he was honored with humor. This memorial now stands outside the Bushnell Public Library In his memory. tionally The memorial is located at the right of the front doors to the building and a handful of his friends spoke about him before the unveiling. Realtor Billy Merritt joked that Purcell always spent a lot. of time at Merritt's real estate office, claiming it as his sec- ond office. Purcell owned and operated Purcell Funeral Home, just a block from down- town. He was known for his sense of humor in the commu- nity and for his sense of com- passion as a funeral director. Bushnell Mayor Joe Strickland and City Manager Vince Ruano were among those who spoke. Business leader Tom Beavers also stepped up to talk about his friend. With humor, he said Purcell would say, "Beavers," and it was followed by bits of advice like, "You've made a lot money, you should be wearing nicer clothes," or "You're a community leader, you should drive a better car." The dedication service was opened by Casey Ferguson, pastor ,for the First Baptist Church of Bushnell. When Purcell died, hun- dreds of residents attended his funeral. He died in a freak accident on New Year's Eve, when his Jeep flipped over on his property. The plaque reads "Family man, friend and contributor to the community" and bears the image of Purcell.

Bushnell Police Department Disillusioned The federal response to Hurricane' Katrina is a national disgrace!'After Sept llth, there was an illusion that somehow we were going to be safer and better prepared for whatever came at us, because Bush's Administration, Homeland Security, FEMA, and the Carl Rove "spin machine" had the watch! Whether 'it was another terrorist attack or a mas- sive natural disaster, we were going to be ready to respond to anything! Well, that illusion is. gone forever. The reality is that four years after Sept. 11th, it is now clear the Bush administration has made us less safe! And, our first line of defense failed us! We must demand that a truly independent commission investigate what went wrong in Washington, D.C., at Homeland Security, and FEMA, as well as at the other "support" agen- cies! America cannot afford to let one political party-essentially the one running the government control and manipulate what must be an inde- pendent investigation into the lack of federal response to Hurricane Katrina. Any investigation must be independent from the politicians and have its own investigators, budget and subpoena authority. And, it must hap- pen now! We must act, because more lives may be at stake in the future. And next time, our national security may be compromised, if it hasn't been already. John Walker Webster Proposed decrease in property tax millage rate I would like to .put my two cents in, about'the county budget and the pro- posed, decrease in the property tax, millage rate. The county budget was developed through months and months of work by experienced, ethi- cal and dedicated county staff, County Administrator Bernard Dew chief among them. It was reviewed through long tedious budget workshops where commissioners examined every line item. It would require "going back to the drawing board" to change the property tax rate and thus the budget now, I appreciate what the Sumter County Commissioners have done for SCARC, Inc. over the last 2 years. Without the $24,000 in funding from the county, both group homes most likely would have been closed by now - leaving 8 severely handicapped peo- ple without a home because there has been no relief from the state fund- ing cuts implemented in November 2003. Without the $30,000 earmarked for SCARC, Inc. in this new budget, not only could both group homes be closed, but also the day program may be severely cut back in days of service or closed all together due to the high transportation costs and fueled by high gas prices and the fact that there has not been an increase in trans- portation trip rates since January 2001. I support Chairman Chandler, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Mask in their resolve to maintain the decreased property tax rate at 8.75 mills to generate enough funds to balance the budget as it stands. I would like to encourage Mr. Hoffman and Mr. Francis to recon- sider their position realizing that there may notbe enough revenue gen- erated from the 7.78 roll-back mtillage rateto fund many worthwhile com mu- nity services that are now included in the budget Marsha Perkins An expression of thanks The family of Richard Lasley would like to express our thanks to our many friends and family who offered their prayers, love, food, flowers, and sup- port in the loss of our loved one. Barbara Lasley and family. I can definitely identify with peo- ple who object to unfair tax rates. In fact, I wish more people were involved with the workings 'of, and spending by, government on all levels. Having said that, I do not understand the atti- tude of some of The Villages residents who -- seem to be taking this one- 0 sided stance against the ' three county commission- JI ers who don't live in The I& Villages. This is obviously as much or more about underlying issues than AMA about property taxes, AMi based on some of the Mi objections they have - brought up along with budget complaints. I couldn't consider opposing taxes and in the same breath demand more government services from the funds I want to reduce. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense.- Some are objecting to the location of county offices. Others are objecting to the county's routine mowing sched- ule that doesn't keep the roadsides in their community as manicured as some people in The Villages would like. If some Villages residents want these services, why are they demand- ing property taxes be lowered more than what the county has already pro- posed? If they want everything to be shifted their way, why don't they want to fund it? I don't understand the hostility coming from some of those people, or the do-what-we-say-or-else attitudes. I attended the budget hearing last week and was surprised at the rude- ness the sneers, jeers, and outbursts coming from many of those fr6m The Villages who spoke against the prop- erty tax rate. "" I've seen people angry Q with public officials, with much more to lose, behave in a more civil, manner than some of these people. I just don't understand the anger people have dis- played recently. J Don't get me wrong, con- stituents have every right I and obligation to criticize public officials when they NDA feel they're doing some- Ms thing wrong, but tact and >.. .. courtesy shouldn't be over- looked. I would also like to remind those people that the commissioners they're backing, the ones who seem to do no wrong in their eyes, have been in office less than a year. They have never worked through a budget process here and they've never seen the outcome of the county budgets they approve. It doesn't necessarily make their decisions less valid or informed but it is something to con- sider. Jim Roberts and Joey Chandler are the only two who served prior to this year. And I can't say that Roberts, Chandler, and Randy Mask have never made decisions I didn't like, but they're the three who don't blatantly favor The Villages retirement commu- nity over the rest of the county. At the meeting, I also heard quite a few scoffs after one commissioner stated Bushnell is centrally located in the county, in response to a complaint that the hearings were not held in the north end of the county. I have two problems with this. Looking at a map of Sumter County, geographically, Bushnell is certainly nearer to the center of the county than The Villages or Wildwood. Have these people.who want county government offices moved north thought about what it would mean to those in Tarrytown or Linden,(just in case you don't know, they're in south- ern Sumter County)? I just find it very hard to believe the reason why resi- dents of The Villages don't frequent commission meetings is because it's just too far to drive. Ironically, I haven't heard residents of what used to be Oxford or Wildwood complaining about heading south for the meetings. I've got news for people who think the so-called "fixed income" problem is limited to retirees. It's not Most of the people I know also find them- selves in this not-so-unique situation of trying to exist on a limited income, so it's not an excuse to move every- thing to their front doors. I don't think the commission should give in to the demands of people who've been stomping around recent- ly just to placate them or because of threats made to commissioners' seats. As always, the decisions should be made based on what's good for people throughout the county and I gather each commissioner knows what the people in his district want Whether commissioners lower the proposed rate and modify the budget or choose to keep it the same, I'd like to see them do it for the right reasons.

She also notes that person is twice as likely to be raped again if they were molested, as children. In cases of domestic abuse, some of the women may move out of a bad relationship and think they're over, but in some cases, they end up in the same situation again "same guy, but a different name," she said. Individual counseling is scheduled for daytime hours, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. She said if there's enough of a need for group sessions during the day, they can make it happen.

Hunt retiring from Coleman post office after 36 years BRENDA LOCKLEAR Staff Writer A Thirty six years ago, Sally' '"'Ann" Hunt was asked to spend two hours a week, "working at the post office as a c distribution window clerk in . Sumterville. This year, after more than three decades, Hunt retires as Coleman's postmaster..She' plans to move to Tennessee and spend time with her chil- dren and. grandchildren. ', She's having a new home built. Back in. those early days, Hunt was frequently "loaned ,, out" to other, post offices around the county. From November 1979 to April 1980, she served as supervisor in Center Hill and then again in Sumterville, from January 1981 to July of that same year. r In 1987, she transferred to Wildwood as distribution window clerk and then on .July 16, 1988, she 'Was appointed postmaster' of Coleman. Ironically, one minute she was unemployed and the next, she had two jobs that. same month. She got a call from Holiday Inn and went to work for them. She worked two jobs for 13 years. The Lake Panaspffkee resi- dent said she always tried to do the best she could. '"Any job worth doing is worth doing well. I was proud of my job. It was hard some- times but I was proud of it" And there have been some major changes over the, years. "It's a challenge since we got the new prison," she said, adding'that it "used to be a nice laid back office." But they went from 400 mailboxes to dealing with mail for about 7,000 people, she said. .Her office clerk went from a two-hour a day job to a six- to eight-hour-a-day job., "I worked with Mr. Mahan of Washington about the prison coming to Sumter County and because of my instruction in the prison and my facility being large enough to accommodated the prison mail. "My office was awarded the mail service to the prison," she "noted, adding that because of that, the facil-. ity was named the Coleman Federal Correction Complex. "If you're .going to%. work,' you might as well be busy." Hunt said Pauline Hunt (unrelated) will serve as offi- cer in charge until a new postmaster is named at Coleman. They've known each other four three or four years now and Pauline Hunt refers to Ann Hunt as a "very caring, giving person. She cares ,about the community and her family friends. "The postal service, friends and the Coleman community will deeply miss the outstanding service Ann has given them. She will be deeply missed and we all Ann Hunt wish her the best in her retirement and future' endeavors as she spends the best part of her life with her family in Tennessee," Pauline Hunt notes.. Ann Hunt is a member of the Community Relations Board for the prison and has been a supporter and partici- pant in the annual Sumter County Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society. She is also a participant in the Suimter Santa program, POW MIA flag-raising in May of 1998 and Breast Cancer Awareness Day, May 2000. She already has a home under 'construction in Tennessee where her two daughters, Sharon Maddox and Danni Scott, live with their families. She can't wait to spend time with her five grandchildren. A 1961 graduate of South Sumter High School, Hunt was born and raised in Bushnell the daughter of Frank Stokes Jr and Joyce Register. She had one older brother named Bud, who has since passed away. In her years at the post office, Hunt said she really liked the customers. "ItReally, I learned a lot and I just liked the customers. I liked working for the postal service." She said she'll probably look for a fun, part-time job after the first of the year, but hopes travel is a big part of her future. She said she and her fami- ly plan to do a lot of traveling. "I'd like to go to New England states." And then with humor, she shared that her oldest daugh- ter was getting her first plane trip this month. "She might like it. She might like it so much she wants to fly all the time," she said with a laugh. "My whole life has been my girls and my grandkids," she said, adding that she missed them so much when they moved out of state that she visited four or five times a year. "Life has been good to me. I've had to work hard, but I've.had wonderful support of family and friends and God's blessings."

Convicted sex offender, kidnapper charged with molestation, stalking AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer A 45-year-old Bushnell man was arrested about noon. on Monday after he allegedly molested a 3-year-old while his mother was placing him in a car seat outside Winn-Dixie in Bushnell, according to Lt. Bobby Caruthers of the Sumter Sheriff's Office. He said Brian Morgan Remine, 8271 SW CR 48, approached a woman and her 3-year-old son in the parking lot and started asking multi- ple questions about the child, if he was toilet-trained and what kind of diapers he wore. He is accused of reaching into the vehicle and groping the child's buttocks as his mother. attempted to place him in the car seat, Caruthers said. On Tuesday, he was charged with stalking after a woman recognized him in the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's sexual offend- er/sexual predator database Brian Morgan Remine as the man who had been fol- lowing her and her two grand- children, Caruthers said. The woman told officers that on Sept. 10, Ramine fol- lowed her and her two grand- daughters to their vehicle from a restaurant and made comments about "how he admired the two juveniles and how beautiful they were," he said. Then- on Sept. 16, he allegedly 'approached them again in a Bushnell business and "once again inquired about the children's ages and said how beautiful they were," he said. The woman said he was close enough to them to "feel his breath on them," Caruthers said. They moved to another isle in the store and Remine then asked if the children were toi- let-trained, Caruthers said. The woman then called her husband on a cell phone because she was uncomfort- able, and Remine "made a quick exit," he said. Remine has a criminal record that includes sexual assault and kidnapping, and registered as a sex offender in Bushnell in May of this year. He has been held at the Sumter County Detention Center without bond on charges of lewd and lascivious molestation, burglary and bat- tery on a small child, and four counts of stalking. - Anyone with information about Remine should call Det. Zeke Shaw at the Sumter County Sheriff's Office at 793- 0222. ' 4 Sprint k a . 1' || *- t**, ,t L ,<,. ,. ;' '. ". t, .- " ..i:!,.

SECO CEO Jim Duncan said, "Our primary goal is to provide our member/cus- tomers with safe, reliable power. Yet our service goes beyond the wires. It's also important that we offer additional program- ming that has a very positive impact on everyone, in our seven county service territo- ry" . "That's why SECO, in con- junction with the other Touchstorie Energy co-ops nationwide, will be offering the Co-op Connections card program to its members. Any time we can provide a benefit to our customers, assist local businesses in bringing new patrons through their doors and gen- erally boost the area's econo- my we certainly endeavor to do just that," Duncan contin- ued. SECO's CEO explained that whenever a Co-op Connections cardholder - whether from SECO or from one of the hundreds of Touchstone Energy co-ops across the country shows the card at a participating business here or anywhere else in the nation, they receive a discount or special incentive. Equally important, Duncan noted, those businesses ben- efit from increased customer visits by co-op members par- ticipating in the program. It will be easy to spot which local businesses are part of the program. These business- es Will have Co-op Connections stickers in their windows or customers can simply log on to SECO's Web site at www.secoenergy.com to check out the list of busi- ness partners in the program. Partners will also be publi- cized in other ways. SECO Director of Public Affairs Barry Bowman said, "Our 142,000 co-op members and their families and the 17 million co-op customers throughout the United States are a powerful economic force. Visitors from other states who have Co-op Connection cards from their electric co- ops can take advantage of the discounts and incentives offered by our local business- es. Conversely, if SECO cus- tomers are traveling in other areas of the country they get the benefits being offered by participating businesses in those states." In addition to local busi- e ness partners from many states, Bowman pointed out that there is a growing list of national businesses partici- pating in the Co-op Connections discount pro- gram including: Alamo & National car rentals, Red Roof Inn, Choice Hotels International (eight different hotel chains), Cabot Creamery (full line of cheeses and dairy products), College Parents of America (helping parents get their children to and through col- lege), The Discovery Channel on-line store, and Computrain Solutions (Microsoft program training for all skill levels). 'Any of our local business- es in Marion, Lake, Sumter, Citrus, Levy, Pasco or Hernando counties are wel- come to join the Co-op Connections program. They can get more informa- tion by calling the SECO Public Affairs Department at (352) 793-3801, extension 1109. Once we have the program customized for our area, we anticipate a formal launch for this new initiative in November of 2005 when our customers will receive their Co-op Connections cards in the mail," said Bowman. Duncan concluded by say- ing, "Once a member has signed the back of the card, it will be ready for use at par- ticipating businesses locally and nationwide. So, while our number one priority is to keep the lights on, SECO is also committed to bringing additional value to our members and the com- munities we serve. The Co-op Connections card will have a positive eco- nomic impact across the board. It's a win win situa- tion for everyone." A BRIEF LESSON ABOUT Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union. (And why we can offer you better rates.) *L So maybe money's not everyone's favorite subject. But paying attention now may well keep you from having to pay dearly later. 0 Let's begin with the concept of being a member of a credit union versus being a customer at a bank. See, a bank's main goal is to offer stockholders ways to make money. Whereas, a credit union's main goal is to offer members ways to save money. 'I You'll find evidence of this at Suncoast. Just ask about our car loans with rates as low as 5.0% APR'. Or our certificate accounts paying earnings as high as 5.15% APY". Then there's free checking, free ATM access, free on-line banking and bill pay and free advice from financial experts. These are just a few reasons Suncoast has grown to become the largest credit union in Florida, and the seventh largest in the country. % All of this newfound knowledge kind of makes you wonder why you didn't look into becoming a member sooner. Let's just consider it a lesson learned. , To find out more, call 800-999-5887 or visit joinsuncoast.org. 217 WEST BELT AVENUE (SR 48J IN BUSHNELL 687-0922-SCT PUBLIC NOTICE CITY OF BUSHNELL PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the following Ordinances were approved by the City Council of the City of Bushnell, Florida on their first reading and shall be acted upon for the second and final reading at their regularly scheduled meeting to be held Monday, October 3, 2005 at 6:00 pm in the Bushnell City Council Chambers located at 219 N.

Hurricane restoration crews making headway In an immediate response to the states devastated by Hurricane Katrina, Sumter Electric Cooperative iSECO) sent a combination of 90 SECO employees and SECO contractors, along with heavy equipment and supplies to the affected Gulf Coast region. SECO's restoration team was assigned initially to an electric cooperative inl Alabama, which had sus- tained very heavy damage to 90 percent of its system. Working as quickly and safely as possible, they were able to complete their part of the restoration there by Sept. 5. They then moved to Slidell. Louisiana the next day to help get the power back on to the customers of Washington - St. Tammany Electric Cooperative. According to SECO Director of Public Affairs Barry Bowman, the reports from the SECO team inl Slidell indicated consider- able devastation in the area. SECO has had to rely on satel- lite phone communications to stay in touch with the team as most of'the area's utility infra- structure had been wiped out. Bowman said., "Living con- ditions for the crews trying to restore electric power in Louisiana are Spartan to say the least. Conditions in the area are such that inoculations, such as Tetanus and B12 shots, are being made available to our crews to prevent disease and bolster their immune sys- tems. "Despite all the challenges, the crew is in high spirits and making good progress having already brought power back on to a Wal-Mart, a local hos- pital, and a Baptist relief cen- ter amongst others." Bowman said the restora- tion process for the entire Gulf Coast region will take considerable time. He indi- cated that the SECO crews cu rrently in Louisiana will be rotated out at the end of the day on Monday, Sept. 12 and then replaced with fresh SECO employees. "'This .natural disaster is unprecedented and we are doing everything we can to assist the unfortunate victims of Katrina," he concluded.

They came - from the Biloxi area. What to name threes adorable lit- tle kitties? Why not, :a contest! Name the Hurricane Katrina :Kitties! There are , -three boys and four girls.

The kittens will receive :medical care, all their vacci- 'nations, and be spayed and ,neutered. Then, they will be ready for adoption a happy endingg to a frightening start at life for these kitties who will find a loving home. Let's all be a part of their rescue enter the "Name the Hurricane Kitties Contest" and help us care for the kittens. Do you have your disaster plan made? Do you live in a low-lying area? Do you live near a river? Would your property flood if we received 15 inches of rain?, Do you live in a mobile home? Then you need a plan to evacuate. SWhat will you do if you have animals and you have to evac- uate? If you leave them behind, it is likely they will not survive. If it is not safe for you to stay, it is not safe for your pet Never leave animals tied inside or outside to trees or other objects. Have a written plan long before a disaster hits. Make confirmed reservations early. with a pet friendly hotel or boarding facility Have plenty of food, water, pet supplies and pet medications that your pet may be taking. Have proof of your pets vac- cinations with you, as many places require this informa- N A tion. Make sure your pet is wearing identification. Have a second plan to fall back on if your first plan can- not be implement- """"" ed. For example, if the hotel is full or if there is no vacan- cies at the boarding facility, you need to have a backup plan. Your backup plan may be to drive to Georgia. Be sure you carry all of your pet sup- plies. Once again, IDA make sure you your VES pet is wearing iden- tification. If you plan to stay in Sumter County, a non-offi- cial pet friendly shelter is the Oxford Assembly of God Church. Your pet must be in a crate and have proof of current vac- cinations. Bring your own pet supplies and realize that pet friendly shelters will fill up very quickly. Very important is that your pets have identification. Pets with identification have the best chance of being reunited with you if you and your pet should become sepa- rated. Have your name, phone number, cell number, and address on the ID tag. Having a microchip implanted in your 'pet is another form of identification. All livestock should have identification, such as brands or tags. Many people will spray paint their phone number on the side of a large animal, or braid identification into tails or manes. Leave livestock in debris free pasture. Never in a closed barn! Last hurricane season, the only reported fatalities in Sumter County for livestock were those closed in a barn. Most livestock are flight animals and their natu- ral instincts will protect them if they are riot confined. Do not become complacent when hurricanes are approaching. Parts of Sumter County is less than 30 miles from the west coast. We have a river running the entire length of Sumter County that can likely flood. It is much better to be pre- pared then to suffer the tragedy of a beloved pets The kittens will receive medical care, all their vaccinations, 688-0922-SCT BUDGET SUMMARY CITY OF COLEMAN FISCAL YEAR 2005-2006 The City of Coleman has tentatively adopted a budget for Fiscal Year 2005- 2006.

The Raiders won with a final score of 35-24 but all was not celebratory for South Sumter coach Inman Sherman. "We're extremely lucky to come out with a win," Sherman said. In fact, he said "They played much harder than we did," he said. "They played like we'd like our players to play. We were very lucky to come out with a win." The close call means some strategic work for the Raider before their next game. "We feel like we've got to make some changes before next week's game against Citrus High." 'The Raiders play Citrus High School this Friday at 7 p.m. at home. the team would not have won if it had not been for standout South Sumter player Tony Smith, who had 2 very strong plays by catching two touch- down passes. Raider Terry Mobley had a strong showing. With only 5 minutes left in the game, he deflected a strong pass to the end zone by Lake Highland to keep the Raiders in the lead. "We would've lost if it hadn't been for that play," Sherman said. Sherman said he had noth- ing but respect and admira- tion for Lake Highland.

Shotokan celebrates 20 years in Sumter BRENDA LOCKLEAR Staff Writer The Sumter School of Shotokan is celebrating its 20th anniversary and former class members are invited to a free barbecue dinner. The event is slated for Sept. 17 at Wahoo Baptist Church, in the fellowship hall. For the past two decades, scores of local kids have been to state, national and Junior Olympics competitions, according to owner and teacher Leslie Neese. This year was no exception as Tyler Doll, Lauren Fissell, Jason House, Haley Neese and Stacy Parker took the challenge and represented Sumter. They vied at the state level and qualified for the Amateur Athletics Union's National Championship. The event is slated for Lakeland. Doll, 8, earned a national silver medal, while House placed in the top five in the adult division. Fissell, 13, Neeese. 10 and Parker, 10, all qualified for the AAW Junior Olympics Games, held in New Orleans. earlier this year. Parker brought home a gold medal in Kata for her age division. Doll and House weren't able to compete, because nei- other of them is in the age level of the Junior Olympics divi- sion. : The barbecue dinner will also be awards ceremony night, as Shotokan members honor the students who most recently earned their black belts. House and his dad Ken made second degree, while James Gibson earned first degree. Gibson was also selected as this year's recipi- ent of the Robert Slivinski Scholarship Award a $1,000 bond. Any past members who are interested in attending are asked to call Leslie or Tony at 793-2218. The event will include a barbecue dinner and all the fixin's by John McCoy. Neese said they like to rec- ognize their students. "It's hard to make your black belt if you really do it properly." Over the years he's had some memorable experi- ences with his students. "Some of the most memo- rable, are the funny things the kids say. And I'm sure it's the same for teachers." But he also finds pleasure in seeing the changes the classes and lessons in disci- pline can make in a child's life. "When you see a child that's very shy," or why you see a child come out of their shell and begin to socialize with other kids, those are high points. He gets to see their person- alities emerge. And some- times he gets to see kids who are ,challenging family and others, make changes for the good. . He said he encourages a C- average in the student-aged kids and he even asks to look Some of the Sumter School of Shotokan top competitors are shown here. They are: Tyler Doll, Lauren Fussell, Jason House, Haley Neese and Stacy Parker. at their report card. "When they walk in the door you can tell if they. got a good one or a bad one." He loves what he does and this year, he said he's begunto get second-generation stu- dents teaching the children of children 'he started out teaching. The school is a family thing - run b.\ he arid his wife Toni. They also get some help from her brother, Randall. As for the best points of martial arts, Neese said, "I think one of the best things is, it teaches them how to stay away from violence. Everybody thinks its kicks and punches." But it builds confidence and is, healthy. He said he likes the old story of a samurai who tries to take on a master. "It's the old story about how you can fight someone with- out fighting them and still win." It's about an old Japanese warrior. Back then the emper- or wouldn't allow them to learn karate. The samurai kept challeng- ing the old warrior who told him he would fight him with- out fighting and win. He told the samurai he would win on an island and when they arrived, the samu- rai climbed off, the warrior used his walking stick and pushes the boat off leaving the samurai in the middle of the water,.alone on an island. "Use your head, your head is your best weapon," he said. About 50 percent of his classes are now women of all ages, in search of self-defense and health. They even teach Stranger Danger to kids. For example, Neese said in some cases, abductors grab children and pinch them hard, to make them cry. They then tell the child they'll be okay, as they drag them out of the public space, leading others to believe the child is just made because they didn't get what they want. Neese said the first thing he teaches is to scream as loud as they can, "This is not my daddy," or, "this is not my mommy." It should make other adults question the situation. Classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Beginners are ,taught from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., while intermediates are from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. and black and brown belt classes start at 8 p.m. He also plans to start a younger students class from 4:30 to 5:30 for four- to six- year-olds. For more information call Neese at 793-2218. Middle School Raiders take Wildwood GLEN OTTLEY Special to the Times Last Tuesday's game for the Wildwood Middle School Baby Cats marked the end of an. era, as the football team was soundly beaten by a well- prepared South Sumter oppo- nent. Undefeated in 14 previous wins. Coach Floyd Williams remarked, "The Raiders were definitely a better' team tonight; our kids simply could not execute the game plan we taught them." After recovering a fumble during the kickoff return at Wildwood High School Stadium, South Sumter anni- hilated the Cats' defense in the first quarter for a score of 14-0. Reserve Kaevion Sanders fired up the Wildwood defense with a smashing tack- le in the backfield to thwart another touchdown effort by the Raiders. The Cats offense seemed to get some life with a punt return up the left side by Rodney Rose; however, the Baby Cats were unable to mount much of an offensive attack and turned the ball over on a pass interception to the team from Webster with 4:55 remaining in the half. The Raiders powerful attack continued, as their fullback seemed to run at will against a sluggish Wildwood defense, and the score at half time was 30-0. The second half of the game was punctuated with many substitutions on both sides of the field. The Cats were led by Byron Parris who scampered into the end zone for two touch- downs. The Cats defense was able to contain the Raiders' subs better in the second half of the game, holding the final score to a 36-18 win for the South Sumter Middle School victory. Bushnell Raiders played the Dade City Rays last Saturday at Kenny Dixon Sports Complex in Bushnell in AAU ball action. The South Sumter Raiders play Citrus High School this Friday at 7 p.m. at home.

It is very important that trees are cho- sen that grow well in the loca- 4n where they will be grown. ,The proper placement of ees can save energy that oth- wise would be used to heat School the home. About 20 recent to 30 percent of cool- g or heating costs could be ived that way. For instance, eciduous trees will give iade in the summer but per- it the sun's rays to warm the )me during the winter. After you have chosen your ,ee and the place for it in |ur landscape, it is most nportant that the tree be ell planted. SFirst, dig a large planting able and make it about three emes wider than the tree's Aot ball. As you dig the hole, ep the top six to eight inch- I of topsoil separate from the subsoil. If the young tree is root bound, cut into the root eall and spread the roots out i, the planting hole. Plant the tiee atthe same height as it was previously growing (be spre .tq tamp the soil at the bottom of the planting hole). Place this mixture in the planting hole around the: roots of the young tree. As you put the top soil in the" hole using a hose to run water into the planting hole, this will eliminate any air pockets that may exist around the roots. Then use the subsoil to con- tinue filling the hole, using t*e rest of the subsoil to make & saucer around the young tree. This will make watering easier. Stake the newly planted tiee for at least one year. Water the newly planted tfee every day the first week, tien every second day for three weeks, after that regu- lar lawn watering (twice a week) should be sufficient if there is no rain. Keep in mind that bigger trees take longer to establish than smaller trees. Trees should be fed with a good quality fertilizer 6-6-6 or 8-8-8 three to four times dur- ing the growing season (March through Sept). Let them rest in the winter. After trees have been growing in your yard for five years, they need no additional fertilizer if you apply a lawn fertilizer to your yard. An occasional pruning or shaping will keep them in good shape. Trees grow best if. they have a single dominant trunk, not multiple trunks. Here are some species that can be grown successfully in central Florida: Crape Myrtle, Sweet Gum, Southern Magnolia, Red Maple, Wax Myrtle, Elm, Bald Cypress, Sugarberry, Southern Red Cedar, Live Oak, Laurel Oak, Cherry Laurel, Yew Podocarpus, Dogwood, Redbud, and many more. An orange tree may bear oranges for more than 100 years. The famous 'Constable Tree,' an orange tree brought to France in 1421, lived and bore fruit for 473 years, Plant clinics are held at the extension office in Sumter County 793-2728 on Thursday, as well as 1 to 4 p.m., on the first Monday of every month at the Sumter County Annex on County Road 466; and a Florida Friendly Landscape Series is held from 3:30 to 5 p.m., on the second Wednesday of every month at the Lake Panasoffkee Recreation Center, located at 1852 County Road 457.

"This accomplishment is especially impressive because we were included in the 'large employer' catego- ry," said LSCC president Dr. Charles Mojock who accepted .the award during the Sept 1 event "This means we were com- ,peting with hospitals, city and county governments and big- Ibusiness employers!" LSCC I'has 329 full and part-time ,employees. "LSCC is able to compete ifor such awards because of tthe outstanding leadership land vision of our Board of Trustees and their .commit- ment to recognizing and rewarding our faculty and staff," added Dr. Mojock. "Human Resources Director Tim Kane also con- ducted .a comprehensive analysis of LSCC's strengths and weaknesses which enabled us to develop a posi- tive work environment based on fairness and respect." Presented by Edd Holder and Associates and co-spon- sored by the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission and 21 Central Florida organizations, the awards program first catego- rizes participating companies by number of employees, 50 or less, 51-250 and 251 or more. It then asks each to com- plete a survey of 40 objective and measurable questions. Personnel Dynamics Consulting of Fort Pierce then documents the responses and tabulates information. The information includes such things as: rate of turnover; promotion and work injuries; training and development opportunities; organization growth; opportunities for women and minorities; salary and benefit programs; employee satisfaction and participation in decisions. By weighing this data, the consulting firm determines which businesses excel in, workforce recruitment and retention, thus deserving the "Best Places To Work in Lake & Sumter Counties" recogni- tion. With this information, the program can raise workplace standards and educate employers in how to develop a quality workforce that meets the demands of a changing business environment, so they too can become an employer of choice. fraudulent e-mail soliciting fI n 1Q fnQi. acTiian A-m r IUlAl3 1%.

Device may increase, gas mileage by 22% Boston National Fuelsaver Corp. has developed a low cost automotive accessory called the Platinum Gas Saver which is guaranteed to increase gas mileage by 22%' while meeting all emission. standards. With a simple connection to a vacuum line, the Gas Saver adds microscopic amounts of platinum to the air and fuel entering the engine. . Since platinum allows .non-burning fuel to bum,. the Gas Sa'er 's platinum increases the percentage of fuel burning inside the engine from 68% of each gallon to 90% of each gallon, a 22% increase. Since unbumt fuel leaving an engine is pollution, this 22% of each gallon normally bums when it reaches the platinum of the catalytic converter. H o w e ydth converter's platinum bums this fuel in ,the tail-pipe, where the heat and energy produced from this fuel cannot be harnessed to drive your vehicle. But when the Gas Saver allows the air-fuel mixture to carry the platinum into the engine, 22% more of each gallon bums inside the engine so that 22% fewer gallons are required, to dri\e the same distance. After a fie ear study , the government concluded: "Independent testing shows greater fuel savings with the Gds Saver than the 22% claimed by the developer. In addition to the fuel savings, the Gas Saver has received patents for cleaning out carbon and raising octane, making higher grades of fuel unnecessary for most vehicles. Joe Robinson, thedeveloper, was quite surprised at the market research: "We have sold a half million Gas Savers. To our surprise, as many people buy the Gas Saver because it extends engine life by cleaning out the abrasive carbon as buy it to increase gas' mileage or to raise octane."
