Over 200 people, more than twice the number allowed in the county commission cham- bers, were in attendance. Initially, the proposed budg- et was set with a property tax rate of $8.75 for every $1,000 of assessed taxable property value, which would have been a reduction from the 2004- 2005 rate of $9.20. Even at $8.75, the property tax reduc- tion would have been the largest in county history. Commissioners Randy Mask, Jim Roberts, and Joey Chandler previously support- ed the rate. The budget changes came about after commissioners received dozens of letters, e- mails and hours of public comment, primarily from Villages residents, over the last few weeks opposing the property tax rate. At the approved $7.76, the property tax rate is slightly lower than the rollback rate, the rate that would generate the same amount of funds as the previous year. Commissioners had to cut the budget by $3.4 million, say- ing it required "a philosophy change" in regards to future building projects, for which they will now have to borrow bonds. The budget, originally set at $101.5 million was changed to $98.1 million. Adjustments included $195,000 cut from the Sheriff's Office budget, the largest of the constitutional officers'. Commission Chairman Joey Chandler said they "whittled out" from the budget every- thing possible. "It's going to be hard," he said. "Gas prices are going up, construction costs are going up." He also responded to a com- plaint that commissioners were able to reduce the budg- et and therefore had surplus. "It (reducing the budget) wasn't 'finding' money- it was money everybody knew was in there," he said. The commission heard from several Villages residents in opposition of the $8.75 rate and, in some cases, the budget process in gefteral. Jeff Langdon told commis- sioners, "This budget is full of slush and waste." A few county residents out- side The Villages defended the original proposed rate, saying the county needs. enough revenue to provide; services. Lucille Shoop ofAdamsville expressed concern about diminishing funding for con- struction to provide services: as the county grows. "We would not like to see, you borrow the money to meet these needs," she said. - Commissioners discussed compensating for some of the Please see TAX, Page 2 HVehicle crashes I ,:near Bushnell Photo by Amanda Mims After colliding with a 1981 Dodge van on Sept. 23. this 2003 Dodge car slid back- wards off the pavement along County Road 478 until it crashed into the front yard of Lovia Teal south of Bushnell. It crashed into cit- rus trees directly in front of Teal's home, and the driver, Carl Engelsman, 20, Bushnell, and passenger Richard Page were both ejected from the vehicle. according to a traffic crash report. State Trooper Paul i Curtas said the driver of the car was attempting to pass the van as its driver, Tommy Morris, 60. was turning to pull into his driveway. According to the report, the car's estimated speed was 85 | miles per hour. Engelsman was flown to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where a hospital spokesper- son said he was released. No additional information about Page was available, except that the two are cousins. onbegin employee hff Pilot Club Couny begins employee shuffle w pon the walk MARTIN STEELE Times Correspondent Sumter County Commis- sioners apparently aren't going to waste much time working toward resolving space needs in government buildings.

The two are directed to work with the county architec- tural consultant, Long and Associates, hired earlier this year for planning on building construction and renovation and county departmentheads. They are to begin planning for renovation of space in county buildings at the gov- ernment complex as well as the old Jumper Plaza Shopping Center, on County Road 475 on the north side of Bushnell. In conjunction with that, the board by consensus agreed to Chairman Joey Chandler's request to have Thornton began negotiating a possible lease of a large, vacant store space in that center. The board's overall plan is based on a long-term lease of shopping center space. Individual commissioners have stated that they have dis- cussed that with the owner and that it appears likely to be feasible. If the commission gets a suitable deal, this is what they have proposed to do: The Development Services Department (building and zoning) would move to reno- vated space in the former 'Winn Dixie store site, leaving the third floor of the court- house open.

At 6:30 p.m. teens are gathering to pluck through some chords, learning some notes along the way, before they get into song prac- tice. It's all ages for guitar, but adults interested in singing can join the adult choir, which also meets at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday's a night for the entire family to come together because starting at 6 p.m. there's a 30-minute Wednesday Church gath- ering music and a short sermon to help renew and rebalance spiritually in mid-week. Casual and a little more contemporary, the service will include a short message from Rev. Richard Derreth before families head out to sing, dance and play guitar. And if you'd like to go out to eat on Wednesday, but worry about the time, you can always make reservations at the fellowship hall, because dinner's served at 5 PM. for $6 per person or $20 for the family. And the unity continues through the week. On Thursday night, it's youth night, there's a gathering for older kids, age 11 and up and a separate gathering for those 10 and under.

The Supervisor of Elections Would also move to renovated store space in the former Wynn Dixie. The Supervisor's vacant building would then be renovated for occupation by the Fifth Judicial Circuit State Attorney's office. ;! From earlier discussions, it appears that the judiciary would probably be moving into space vacated by the Clerk's office, in the Judicial Center. . The concept of using leased space in the old shopping cen- ter is not new. About a year ago, the Clerk of Circuit Court established a records storage facility in a vacant store space at the site. But, apparent demands for greater cuts in the ad valorem tax rate have spurred the board to look at the prospect again. 0.

County Commissioner Jim Roberts had tried to get the boards interest in the center some time ago and he's not letting the board forget. "I tried to get the board to buy the whole center when e could have gotten it for about $900,000," Roberts said during a recent meeting. According to Development Services Director Robbie Rogers, her department's clientele are eager to have offices that have much more convenient access than the current "third floor" location. Sometimes, those coming in for various projects are loaded down. with armfuls of documents and plans, Rogers said. There was also some discus- sion about the possibility of an "off campus" visiting center for the County Detention Center being included in the shopping center plans. Roberts said the County Sheriff wanted to set up such a facility for security reasons., "Are you sure we want pris- oners out there," Commissioner Michael Francis asked.

In other business: The board is slated to dis- cuss two major issues at pub- lic hearings on Oct. 11. Commissioners are to consid- er ordinances establishing fire impact fees and solid waste disposal assessments. The commission approved an agreement with Lake-Sumter Community College to establish a fire- fighter training facility at a vacant building on the Sumterville campus. The college is to "close in" the building during remodel- ing for the facility. The county will pay a lease fee to help off- set the costs. According to County Fire Chief Bill Gulbrandsen, the training facility would eventu- ally also serve as a satellite fire station for the Sumterville area. 69~92W~ 352-568-2500 Available by Appointment WALK continued from Page 1 annual Pilot Club Walk-a- Thon begins in the Wachovia Bank parking lot in the Wildwood Shopping Center, on U.S. 301.

CAR SAFETY FOR KIDS HENRY POATES Times Correspondent Monday, shortly before noon, a blaze swept through a Wildwood home at 407 Mill Street causing severe dam- age. Sumter Battalion Fire Chief Mike Jacobs arrived first on the scene to find the residence, owned by Warren Lee Richardson, ablaze. As firefighters battled the fire, additional apparatus anrd personnel from Wildwoo'd along with Oxford Station 32' and Coleman Station 33 arrived to help. Initially, firefighters were able to mount an aggi'-e;i\e interior attack, but the rafters severely damaged by the fire,' began to weaken and break: causing the roof to buckle. Firefighters were forced to withdraw from the interior of the home due to the threat of; collapse. , Firefighters then concen- trated on fighting the blaze' from the exterior of the resi- dence and the fire was finally extinguished. No one was injured in the blaze. Fire investigators found evidence of an over- loaded electrical circuit in the ceiling as the cause of the: blaze. , Celebrating a soldier's return Photo by Amanda Mims Children color in coloring books while parents and grandpar- ents participate in the Child Passenger Safety event at Cindy Chevrolet in Wildwood on Sept. 24.

Jr. father Robert Hurst and mother Patricia, with whom Cliffton is staying while she is aw ay. Baker said for her, the hard- est part of being stationed in the Middle East is being away from her family and her son, but constant e-mails, tele- phone calls home, and her faith help keep her going. I'Te been \eri truly blessed since I've been there. I just thank God for watching over me and my unit," she said. Faith also plays a large part in the lives of her parents. Robert is a pastor and Patricia said initial reports of soldiers killed and wounded overseas "grips" her, but she's al a.s praying for Baker's safety.

That is, as long as they're in good condition and installed properly. That's why folks from Thomas E. Langley Medical Center and the Sumter County Health Department were in Wildwood on Saturday providing free inspections for child safety seats and distributing infor- mation about them. Set up at Cindy Chevrolet, they were ready and eager to help those with questions about their children's car seats and offered free inspec- tions. The event began at 11 a.m., and by 11:30, both Donna Mangino of Langley and Nadine Ohlinger of the Health Department were busy checking for recalls, inspecting and instructing. Brenda Brock, of. Lady Lake, who was there early with her grandchildren, said after the event, she planned to replace her twp seats because she learned one had "expired" and she wasn't sure about the history of the other. Laura Suazo-Perez, who works in-the Healthy Start program at Langley, said they encourage people not to buy used seats if the history is unknown. 'At least were educating the public. This is a good service to the community," she said. Although the events may only draw 10 people, she said they hope to bring more attention to proper use and installation of child safety seats. "The word's getting out and we want the kids to be safe," she said. The Health Department was selling new car seats for $10, a substantial savings compared to the retail cost of a car seat. Suazo-Perez said Langley will also be presenting child- birth education classes in Wildwood starting Sept. 29. Classes are free to Healthy Start patients and $20 for oth- ers.

Bob Reichman publisherr ............ .... Gerry Mulligan General Manager/Sales Manager... Alan Place 204 E. McCollum Ave. Bushnell,FL 33513, Member Florida Press Association Our VOICE Is it really a win for taxpayers? "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" Your VOICE It has probably been the most ana- lyzed county budget in the history of Sumter County. This week, Sumter County commis- siqners backed off of a proposed prop- erty tax rate that would have a small reduction compared to the current taW rate and instead, folded to public pressure to reduce the proposed rate even further by adopting a tax rate slightly lower than the roll back tax rate. The roll back rate is the amount of tax the county would have to levy for the upcoming 2005-06 fiscal year (which runs from Oct. 1, 2005 to Sept. 30,2006) to generate the same amount of revenue as the current year. Instead of adopting the proposed rate of $8.75 for each $1,000 of assessed property value, commission- ers adopted a rate of $7.76, just slight- ly lower than the roll back rate. The reduction comes following strong criticism and threats primarily frchn residents of The Villages that commissioners were padding the budget and would not be re-elected if they did not lower the proposed tax rate. The pressure, apparently worked because commissioners finally agreed Monday night during the final public hearing on the county budget to lower the tax rate. The tax reduction can be, viewed with mixed emotions. Obviously, taxpayers are pleased whenever they can save some money. No one wants to pay more in taxes than they absolutely have to. And it's certainly pleasing to see crowds of people actually interested in budget and tax issues. For way too long, Sumter County budgets andy tax rates seemed to breeze through com- mission meetings with hardly a peep of protest. Not this year. Village residents flocked to the pub- lic hearings, emailed protests to com- missioners and demanded that taxes be lowered. It's a very historical event for The devastating scenes of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita remind us,all in the Salvation Army of our organization's link to the many, many storm-related tragedies that we have been called upon to respond and to serve those in need. Since the 1900 -hurricane in Galveston, the Salvation Army has been at the scene of every major dis- aster in America, and the support of the American public has never been as strong as it is the wake of Katrina, ana now Rita. tour donations touch at the very essence of the Army's Mission'- to help those in need in God's name, without discrimination. A storm sees no faces, and leaves lives that must be rebuilt, step by step. The donations received thus far will help the many thousands so greatly affected by these storms, and we are humbled and thankful for the generosity of so many. To date, you have entrusted the Army with more than $160 million from out- web site, telephone donations, corporate donations and letters sent directly to Army offices a steward- Sumter County. The best part of this whole revolu- tion of sorts is that county commis- sioners actually found a few budget- ing errors that led to additional cuts. The worst part is that Sumter County government must now admit the strong control that The Villages has on this county, Ironically, some Sumter residents, 'most from outside The Villages, actu- ally turned out to voice concerns that if the commission adopted the lower tax rate it could negatively impact the county's ability to provide certain services. By the time all was said and .done, all commissioners voted in favor of lowering the tax rate beyond the pro- posed reduction, which initially, had only been supported by the two Village commissioners, Michael Francis and Dick Hoffman. The only thing left to see is how the county manages to get through this, upcoming fiscal year. That will be the real factor that will determine if this tax cut is a good idea, Of particular .concern will be the fact that commissioners will now have to.borrow money to provide funding for new county buildings. If that fund- ing comes from 30-year bonds instead of money from the budget, taxpayers will be paying for years to recoup that money, probably -long after the new buildings become antiquated. It's a shame that all these residen- tial concerns didn't arise during the budget workshops so that adequate consideration could have been given before the hearings. This is a win-win situation for Villagers but we're riot sure that's true, for the rest of the county. Lower tax rates will spawn even more development and more demands for services and more demands for lower taxes. Commissioners Jim Roberts, Joey Chandler and Randy Mask, who ini- tially opposed reducing the tax rate to the roll back rate, should have stuck to their guns. ship responsibility that we take very seriously. / Yet, the work has barely begun. While our efforts, with.your support, has helped our Army colleagues give aid and comfort to more than 500,000 people during the past month, the road ahead will be a long one. Your ability to donate directly to, benefit the Army's overall hurricane relief efforts is possible through www.1800salarmy.org. Money donated in that manner provides the Army with the opportunity to utilize funds for overall disaster relief needs. Donations made directly to Hurricane Katrina storm relief will be used for that purpose; and if donors wish to designate their dona- tions for Hurricane Rita, the dollars will be used accordingly. You can be confident that the dona- tions will be spent to do the most good where the need is greatest Thank you, on behalf of The Salvation Army. Commissioner W. Todd Bassett National Commander The Salvation Army Compassion for animals Recently I read in the Sumter Times that Mr. Ronnie Graves and his wife, Linda, owners of Prosthetic Research Specialties, has adopted a young Sicilian donkey. Luigi was born with a deformed front leg and was brought here by them in a specially equipped vehicle in order to have a pros- thesis designed for him. After the preliminary surgery, Luigi was fitted with a prosthesis, which enabled him to run with other animals, and to greet his new owners. I spoke to Linda after reading the story and she invited me to visit Luigi after his future surgery, at which time a new and permanent prosthesis can be designed for his leg. A s you. read this column, we A are now only days away from ending out what the new Part D program will look like, and the beginning of insurance compa- ny marketing. So, will we be able to " see the light? Based on my mail and those that I have recently spoken to, I doubt it Confusion should have . been part of the title of this law. I have heard from vari- ous readers, including members of the insur- ance industry, attorneys D and state officials. They, Ro too, are confused. My columns are reader directed. I write about what you ask me. I have given a great deal of ink to the subject of Part D of Medicare; I have answered every type of ques- tion conceivable, and there are so many other important issues that need to be written about. Folks, you are about to be suffo- cated with insurance company rhetoric, and, no doubt, be subject to additional confusion. However, it is now time for you to take a deep. breath and think logically. You have asked me whether I would enroll or not and I have answered. I am simply answering you in the only manner I know of, directly. So, allow me to make you aware This will be performed after the hurricane season due to their volunteer work needed for injured and displaced animals. Each week I enjoy reading Linda's "Critter Chatter" column. We are fortunate to have the Graves family in our areas. They are real animal lovers and join many others who care for animals who can't speak for themselves. I have recently joined the Humane Society for my family and, hopefully, everyone will take an interest in our newly planned facility and renovations. They need our support and the animals will thank you. Don't forget blankets and other donations are needed for the winter months. Bettye Jemison Bushnell: of why I would enroll, in 'a very clear and concise manner. Understand, I gain nothing from your decision. , If you have employer-retiree sponsored prescription drugs, and your plan equals that of Medicare's D, then stay there. " -eIf your decision only 'deals with the issue of whether to enroll, remember, the plan is completely voluntary and the decision to enroll is just that your decision. I have received mail HAN from many readers; I shall use two as exam- ples. The first reader spends $2,400 per year in prescrip- tion drugs; the second reader spends $4,000. I have written: "I have heard that the formulary is going to be huge and the initial cost will be moder- ate. If this is true, it is my belief that one should enroll." Then, "you must check to make sure that your plan covers your per- sonal prescriptions and you must make certain that your pharmacist will honor your plan." So far, the first part of this state- ment seems to be holding up; the second is a must for all of those who enroll. It now seems that the average national initial cost will be $32- .per month. This is $384 per year. Now, many readers are angry at: the shenanigans of this plan and the administration's presentation, as am I. And, quite unfortunately, we are allowing this factor to add to blind confusion. Also, many readers are miscalcu- lating the cost, including deductibles and co-insurance. Let me simplify this for all: The only deduction that we should use is the cost of the plan itself. This would be $384. If you use $2,250 to $5,100 a year in prescriptions, your government benefit would be $1,500, minus the cost of the plan. Using my two readers' examples above and my projected cost, their net benefit would be $1,116. In fact, if your prescription drugs cost were just $62.50 per month, your benefit would be $31.25 per month or just $0.75 less than what the plan cost you. So, this is just about your break-even point I only want to see the program work; it is doomed without those who are healthy and wealthy par- ticipating. Enrolling in the first year makes sense. Let's do it for one another! Keep my green tea warm, and I will talk to you next week Send questions and comments to "Senior Advocate," 1624 N.

Grace Oit I s band I and vhich ant it thurt shel- than have it for with f the h the eping or off l1 or titute not t has at I 1 lis- she T here's a proverb that goes: "As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly" (I'm sorry if you're eating your breakfast as you read this, but at least I - caught your atten- tion). I think about this proverb a lot, espe- cially when I find I'm falling into the same sin pattern, "repeat- . ing my folly." o For me, it's always About my youngest Daughter. She's ff on her own, making her NAI own way mistakes KEN and all slaying her own dragons, battling her own demons, learning her own life lessons. God has his hand firmly and securely on her life, which is part of the problem, at least from my point of view Whef things are going well with her, then I thank God for his gracious hand of mercy. About a month ago, when gas prices were at their highest, a stranger at a gas station paid to have her tank filled, and the day before she found $26 on the ground. Sometimes she comes home to find groceries on her doorstep. Cool stuff like that happens to her all the time. Way to go, God! He loves my kid. He's treating her nicely. She thinks he's cool. I lift my hands and say 'Amen!" and vow to never worry about her ever again. One time I told my friend, Angel, "God doesn't need me I can relax. Finally He'll take care of her. I believe. I truly believe." Not 24 hours later, I was cry- ing to my other friend, Tara, about how scared and worried I was I can't even remember what it was about and how badly I wanted to rush up to North Carolina and take care of things. My vomit (my folly) is not trusting that God knows exactly what he's doing in my daugh- ter's life and that whatever hardships she goes through, they are ultimately for her own good. I know with every/fiber of my * being that God is infinitely more kind and more loving toward her than I am or could ever hope to be, but I don't know it. I believe it in theory but not in , practice, which means I don't . really believe. So, God and I go round and round, usually until I'm exhaust- ed from trying to box with him. Or maybe "wrestle" is a more accurate term. Either way, it's not a sport with me. This is my kid we're dealing , with, and I'm sorry, God, but if you think I'm going to give her up without a fight ... then I'm in for a shellacking, as my hus would say. Sometimes I bypass God go right to my daughter, v rarely turns out the way I w to. Actually, I gel less by being i lacked by God by her. But you to give me cred trying. I'll call her my mom-nag o moment, all wit intention of keE her out of jail c the welfare ro ' L from being desi NCY and hopeless, MEDY that any of tha - happened (thz know of). She'l ten and then ask (before hangs up on me), "How old am I, Mom?" To which I'll answer, if only in my head, "Twelve." She's 22. To her credit, she has become- a lot more polite at hanging up. Last time she said, "I'm hanging up the phone now Mom. Love you." Click. I know she'll be OK, that she is OK, although I don't see how that's possible without my steady, unrelenting, never-end- ing, non-stop, continuous input I still don't understand why I can't just hand her a list of everything I think she should do and not do and then she could just do what's on the list and then we'll both be happy. It makes so much sense to me A few weeks ago, after a hang- uppance that I admit I deserved, I couldn't sleep. I Wvas worried and scared, conjuring up grisly what-ifs, angry at God and accusing him of being unfeeling and uncaring and cruel. When I couldn't think of any more adjectives to hurl at him - and trust me, I can think of many - he reminded me that I have never had to watch my kid be tortured, beaten and mocked, crowned with thorns, crucified. I knew he was right. But then he said softly, "I know how you feel." And, if only for the briefest of moments, I knew that he did.

This office - was. created to protect, strengthen and effectively represent small business within the federal govern- - ments legislative and rule making process. One of their most far-reaching responsibil- ities is monitoring compliance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) the law that requires federal agencies to examine the likely effects of - their proposed regulations on' small business. The Chief Counsel for Advocacy. who is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, directs the office. The Chief Counsel independently advances the views, concerns and interests of small business before Congress, The White House federal regulatory agencies, federal appellate courts as an amicus curiae (an advisor to the court on a legal matter). The Chief Counsel's efforts are supported by a staff in W\ashington- D.C. and by "regional advocates located .throughout the nation". ASK SCORE If you have a problem with a regulation that you feel is unfair, causing extra cost, lost business or any other problem contract the Office of Advocacy.

One day they secured a client across the state line form Memphis, when they went there this then made them an Interstate Hauler, Now the Federal DOT said they had to comply with a dif- ferent regulation and needed to comply with the same regu- lation as an 18-wheeler. Well this was out of the question, but could not get any relief through the regular channels of government. They then contacted the Regional Advocate about their problem. The Regional Advocate went directly to the head of DOT and related the problem. It was then solved by simply asking for and securing an exception to the. ;; ,, ', *," t.:i f :' r .' regulation. The Advocate cuts the red tape by going directly to the head of the various departments and agencies of the government.

With 8:34 left in the 1st, Hurricane's Walter Howard, sailed a strong, hard pass to Geoff Blotz for a play that put Citrus just shy of the 50-yard line. With 6:45 left in the 1st quarter, Mario Elder, Raider defenseman, was gunning hard to keep Citrus from run- ning touchdowns. Mario Elder from South Sumter blocked a strong pass by the Hurricanes that, if caught, would have been a touch- down for Citrus. Putting more points on the board for South Sumter was Phillip Whaley, who ran another touchdown, complete with extra point courtesy of Kody Stump. Shortly there- after, Carlos Everett ran one more TD for South Sumter, as well as another extra point by Kody Stump. leaving the score at the end of the 1st quarter 21-0. The 2nd quarter was equal- ly exiting, as the hurricanes received the ball after the last Raider TD, but were unable to move the ball once again, and punted it off to South Sumter. But the Raiders, unable to run yards, punted the football back, to Citrus, who took advantage of this by Hurricane Dane Moore run- ning strong yardage. Phillip Whaley caught a pass from quarterback Walter Howard. But yet again, there was another turn over from Citrus to South Sumter, in which game standout player Carlos Everett ran a strong run to a near touchdown and was stopped only yards shy of the end zone. And with only 13 seconds left in the 1st half, Everett ran another touch- down with another successful extra point by Kody Stump. That-powerful play ended the 2nd quarter. ,When the 2nd half began, Citrus kicked off to South Sumter where South Sumter all star Carlos Everett ran a strong 60 yard run. The Raiders then scored 2 more touchdowns before the end of quarter #3 courtesy of Nick Southall and Carlos Everett once again, complete with the extra points. The 4th quarter saw the Hurricanes put points on the board with Dane Moore run- ning a long drive for 6 points on the board with a 2 point extra point that was success- ful. But like all 3 quarters before it, the Raiders put there mark on the scoreboard once again.

At the end of the game the final score was 42-8 with a victorious South Sumter high school. At the end of the game, head South Sumter coach Inman Sherman said, "we're real happy with our offense and defense tonight, I think the early hook ups with Carlos and Jarrod paid big dividends to us." Hurricane head coach Rik Heinz said, "I think effort- wise, that was the strongest effort we've given. I think we'd made good progress try- ing to get our program up to (South Sumter's) level. We're not there yet but we're work- ing on it" s suffer loss against Wildwood Thursday ultimately suffer- ing a 26-8 loss. "I don't think we mentally showed up to play football," said JV head coach Keith Hileman who was disappoint- ed in his team's performance. "No one executed." Hileman said he and his coaching staff were overall happy with the performances of Justin Beasley and Chance Strickland, who both made hard, strong plays throughout the game. But Hileman was also dis- appointed with the overall performance of his JV team. Citrus came on strong dur- ing the game with South Sumter showing little ability to contend with the Hurricanes. "They were more physical than us and they outran us," Hileman said. The next game for the JV Raiders is Thursday (September 29) at home at 6 p.m. against Mount Dora. When asked about the pos- sibility of the JV pulling out a win against Mount Dora, Hileman confidently said, "oh, we're going to beat them." ults posted Villages Mason's, Villages.

During hurricanes or tornadoes the price of ice or generators may triple. There will always be people trying to profit from disasters. Tip 4: Be a good citizen. Report con artists, gougers and anyone who behaves in a suspect manner to the appropriate authority, local police, attorney general's office, or Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Tip 5: Manage credit. Keep credit card and debt balances below the maxi- mum. Credit is one way many Floridians manage emergencies. By keeping the limit below the maximum, you will have a temporary emergency fund available in the short term. Tip 6: Know where your important papers are. A well ordered home filing system is important in responding to disasters. An updated household inventory is important to a speedy adjustment to property loss. The whereabouts of insur- ance policies will save time and stress in dealing with any type of covered loss resulting from a disaster. It is also important to locate contracts, bank information and invest- ment information. Knowing who family members are and how to locate them is impor- tant as well as knowing who family advisors are and how to locate them. If you need more information, contact your local county Extension agent for information on developing a home filing sys- tem. Tip 7: Keep gasoline in your car. This is standard procedure for families in remote areas of the state. A good rule is to keep 1/ of a tank of gasoline at all times. Tip 8: Keep some cash on hand, enough cash and avail- able credit to take care of one week's living expenses.. Tip 9: Have a disaster or evacuation kit that you take with you if you must leave your home. Include: your important papers (ones that would be difficult to impossi- ble to replace), change of clothes, food and water, med- icines, etc. Tip 10: Review and update insurance policies - It is a good practice to i. review your insurance poli- cies on a regular basis. Ift'ouri family situation has changec;,- review your coverage for life." health, and disability in.iur-, ance. Do you need imiore or less insurance' Do ) you need- to change benelic-iarieYs Check property in-su rancle to ensure that your property is- adequately covered. If you have an old car you may x ant to reduce coverage. Yet your "old" house may have increased in value and need- more insurance. Tip 11: Review and update& your will and other property: transfer documents. Data show that only one out. of four have a personal will. Remember if you don't make : your wishes known about the disposition of your property;, through properly executed,' transfer documents, the state has specified what will hap:i pen to your property. Many- people will not have a prob- lem with the first line to., inherit but the probleti comes with the second and- third line to, inherit. Tip 12: Review your liv ingg. will. COUNTY'S GUIDE TO SUMMER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, TIIURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2005, PAGE 15 The Yin and Yang of Ping and Pong Photos by Brenda Locklear Sumter County pre-kindergarteners are having plenty of fun at schools around the county. Just look at these students, who attended on Friday Red Day at North Sumter Primary School. Dakota Geoghegan (left) and Kayleigh Tussey enjoyed their red Jell-O. The students are in Mrs. Baughan's class. Teachers work hard to make the day a fun and educational event for students. Hickory Dickory Dock and red were the topics for a Friday pre-kindergarten class at North Sumter Primary School in Mrs. Ellis's class. Fredejah Jones and other students were playfully doing rounds of the nursery rhyme while learning about the color red. i~i, --' -. -- .: Darrell Harrison and other students were playfully doing rounds of the nursery rhyme while learning about the color red. The imperial heritage the Siamese mix kitties share are the Yin and Yang of Ping and Pong. As Ping and Pong regally keep watch from atop the couch in their foster home, they survey the family hap- penings with a distant air of royalty. Though they prefer a quiet household, they do like to romp and play in the evenings. Ping, the female, is more outgoing than her brother, Pong, who is a little more reserved. Both are a bit shy, and exquisitely beautiful. If you would like to adopt one of our oriental beauties, call the Humane Society/SCPA of Sumter County at 352-793-9917. E-mail us at humane@sum.net and visit us on line at www.hsspca.org to view more of our animals. You can come and meet our kitties in person at Petco, in the Villages, this coming weekend. Ping and Pong will be there along with Splash and Sketch, Maryann and Mercury, and two hurricane Katrina kittens. Adoption applications will be on hand along with infor- mation about the Humane Society/SPCA of Sumter County. We look forward to meeting everyone there, and showing off our precious kitties. The overpopulation of cats and dogs in our county is over- whelming. It is impossible to save every animal. Many are left outside to fend for themselves, and oth- ers are brought to Animal Control where the majority of Ping and Pong regally keep watch from atop the couch in their foster home, they survey the family happenings with a distant air of royalty. them will be euthanized. The lucky ones will come into the Humane Society/SPCAs foster program where they will receive med- ical care, vaccinations, and be spayed and neutered. Without a shelter, we are very limited in how many ani- mals we can save. We desperately need an ani- mal shelter in Sumter County and the only way the Humane Society/SPCA can built it is through donations. With a shelter, the Humane Society/SPCA would be able to save so many more lives. Donations to help us build an animal shelter can be mailed to Humane Society/SPCA of Sumter County, PEO. Box 67, Lake Panasoffkee, FL 33538. Overpopulation will always be a problem as long as unal- tered animals are allowed to roam. Spay and neuter is the key to solving the overpopulation problem. Right here in our county the Cares Center in Lake Panasoffkee offers low cost spay and neuter for cats and dogs. Please have your pets altered. Help end the sad plight of homeless animals.

Autb h i a-m tI I PAGE 28, SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 Master Gardeners Things to do in October in Central Florida Lawns... If you missed fertilizing your lawngrass in Sept. it is best to wait till spring (March) for the next application. Pocket gophers are more active at shallow depths in the fall and spring, and they are best controlled by the trapping method, it is more effective. Watch for brown patch disease, which is more prevalent in the spring and fall when the tempera- ture is in the 60-80 degrees. Lawns with low moisture and low in nitrogen and potassium are more susceptible. Also, continue to watch for sod webworm damage, since this is still their active season. When you mow, leave the clip- pings; they do not cause thatch.. They do supplement fertilization. Mow with a sharp blade and never mow the lawn too close, it does no good and will drastically inhibit root growth and develop- ment. St. Augustine and Bahia grasses should be kept at 3 to 3-1/2 inches high. Remember all lawngrasses, shrubs, trees, and annual flowers should have had their last fertiliza- tion in Sept. It is best to wait till spring (March) for their next fertilization. Let them rest! For them it is winter time! Trees and Shrubs This is the ideal month to plant most trees and shrubs. They do better when plant- ed in the fall. It gives them a chance to establish some root system before the stress of fast spring growth and summer heat. Vegetables Now is the time to plant lettuce, Chinese cabbage kale, collards, broccoli, turnips, radishes and other cool season varieties list- ed in the Vegetable Gardening Guide during the last week of Oct. through the third week in Nov. The single most important key to success in vegetable gardening is proper varietals selection. Consult the guide for those vari- eties that have been proven suit- able for Central Florida conditions. Strawberry plants should be available and planted this month. For more details on correct plant- ing -and care, check with the Extension office for the University circular. Edible Flowers.. .Add some beau- ty and more taste to a meal by including some edible 11o%% ers. Borage flow ers, calendula pedals, chives stems and blossoms, daylily flowers, dianthus petals, scented geraniums leaves and petals, hibis- cus petals, nasturtium (all parts), viola flowers, zucchini blossoms, pansy. Having a luncheon? Daylily flowers are edible and make a beautiful natural bowl for fresh berries. Watering October can be a drought month. Lawns should be watered when footprinting, curling or wilting shows, shrubs and trees should be watered every 10 to 14 days if there is not adequate rain. Composting Do's and Don'ts - Every good gardener has his own garbage pile, or what we call com- post, and most of the items we add to the compost comes from the out- doors. \ However, there is a lot of items indoors that you can add to your pile. In the kitchen, save all your veg- etable and fruit scraps. They are excellent. Eggshells even work well without the eggs, of course. If you drink coffee, save the grounds and filters. They are also excellent. The kitchen is not the only place to find items for the compost. When you are done reading the newspaper, shred it up. Glossy paper from magazines is a no-no for the compost pile. Dryer lint is great, as is human or dog hair. It's a great source of nitro- gen, and it breaks down quickly. Some of the items you don't want to add to the compost pile are any meat or dairy products. No plastic or foil in the compost pile, these don't break down quickly Plant clinics are held at the extension office in Sumter County 793-2728 on Thursdays, 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 3:30-5 p.m. on the sec- ond Wednesday of every month at the Lake Panasoffkee Recreation Center, located at 1852 County Road 457.
