No one is hastily slid- ing down a pole, rushing out J the door and grabbing gear in . preparation to battle a blaz- ing fire. In fact, it may be difficult to imagine many firefighters actually fitting inside the small metal shed that is now Coleman Fire Station 33. Nearly two months after the station was moved from a building leased from the City of Coleman to an approxi- mately 10-by-15-foot shed on County Road 468 just east of the city, one firefighter says they don't have the equip- ment and building space nec- essary to perform their jobs properly. There is apparently no tele- Photo by Amanda Mims Please see SHED, Page 2 For the last month, Fire Station 33 in Coleman has been located in this shed after a building lease agreement with the City of Coleman was not renewed. Cement plant seeks next approval Autopsy t I nt A / Commissioner Roberts doesn't Natural Resources of Central Florida, doing busi- ness as American Cement Company, has applied for an air construction permit to build a dry process Portland 'cement plant in Sumtem ille. The application was filed recently with the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). It is avail- able for inspection at the department offices in Tallahassee and Tampa.

Thlie project won approval in August from the County Wildwood. growth is flourishing AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer The northernmost city in one of the state's fastest grow- ing counties, Wildwood has become an increasingly desir- able area to developers, and homes are quickly springing up. Robert Smith, the city's Growth. Management Coordinator, said he talks to an average of two developers every day interested in the city or surrounding areas. Wildwood is Sumter County's most populous city with about 4,000 residents, but that number is expected to rise quickly One developer is offering new condominiums and villas from the $200,000s at Lakeside Landings, east of Lake Miona, where 480 homes had been planned. Another development, Lake Andrew Preserve, is planned for 134 acres north of County Road. Smith said 73 residen- tial units are planned and home sites in this develop- ment would vary from small parcels up to 10 acres. Construction at Lake Andrew :Preserve has not begun. A third developer, Amprop Development Corporation, is planning 600 units on 130 acres on County Road 472 and U.S. Highway 301.

His body was found about 9:30 a.m. on the ground next to some shrubbery, Caruthers said. Saunders is described as a man who didn't quite fit in the swanky retirement communi- ty that boasts being "Florida's friendliest hometown," where polo matches and golfing on exclusive courses are com- monplace. Caruthers said neighbors described Saunders as antiso- cial, and visitors to his home came from outside the Villages community. "Neighbors said he was an eccentric kind of person," Caruthers said.

Currently, the telephone num- ber assigned to Station 33 is not in service. In a memorandum from vol- unteer Firefighter Michael Cassidy to Fire Rescue's Deputy Chief of Operations Judd Wright, Cassidy wrote, "It is very difficult to operate out of the shed as there is no power aside from a generator, no running water, no tele- phone, no fax machine, and no heat." He wrote a Coleman fire truck unable to be driven because of a mechanical prob- lem, and that it remains parked in the open field next to the shed. Also according to Cassidy's memorandum, the station is "lacking necessary ladders, fire extinguishers, hard suc- tion hose, tools, and appli- ances."

Coleman City Clerk Clay Godwin said last month Fire Rescue Director Bill Gulbrandsen made known at a grounds main exhibition hall. The multi-million-dollar county-owned facility is a joint venture funded with two grants from the state Department of Agriculture (totaling $250,000), a $200,000 local grant from the Carrie Ellen and Herbert Sparkman' Foundation and funding from the County Commission.

Fire personnel were scram- bling to move gear out of the building on Sept. 30, the day the lease expired. Gulbrandsen said that it was decided before the last day of the lease to use the shed as a temporary facility, and the lease was not renewed because of building maintenance issues with the city. "Temporarily, it seemed like a reasonable idea." The Coleman fire trucks are in good condition, and the firefighters have the equip- ment they need, according to Gulbrandsen. He said this is an "incon- venience" to personnel in Coleman, but anticipates a modular building will be placed on the property with running water and electricity by January. Gulbrandsen also said securing another building to lease in the small city was not an option. "There's nothing like that in Coleman. It's better to start from scratch," he said. County Commissioner Jim Roberts said he knew there were issues with the lease but he. was "caught off guard" when the relationship exposition halls.

Saunders moved into the home after his parents, who lived there for 12 years, died, Caruthers said. between the City of Coleman and Fire Rescue was severed. "I wish I would have been involved in it, and maybe we would have had a better end- ing to it." Aside from the situation at Station 33, he said he has basic concerns about Sumter County Fire Rescue. "I'm concerned about esprit de corps of Fire Services," and "a number of issues deal- ing with the men and women who fight fires," in the county, he said. Though he did not specify what those issues are, he did say there are other concerns. "I can say I think we have a problem. I do not think the problem is the system. I believe we have a manage- ment problem." GROWTH continued from Page 1 allow for 15 units per acre. Amprop has not broken ground on the project. The city is in the process of completing the second sub- stantial land annexation this year, which could involve more than 175 parcels. As to whether or not the city plans to expand further to the north or into other areas, Smith said, "That depends on where development wants to go and what's best for the city."

"We are going to do every- thing possible to protect the people and their property in the city and the area of Coleman. That is our biggest concern." Sumter County Fire Rescue is comprised of 10 stations and divided into three battal- ions headquartered in Wildwood, Bushnell, and Lake Panasoffkee. Eight vol- unteer firefighters are assigned to the Coleman sta- tion. Station 33 has no full- time employees, according to Gulbrandsen. The Fire Rescue budget approved for 2005-2006 totals around from what it was 19 years ago when he first served as mayor. "When the railroad left town, Wildwood almost died," he said. "We had boarded up build- ings downtown. It was pretty much in a decayed state." He said the explosion in development is due to growth in The Villages and in sur- rounding counties, as well as landowners selling and taking advantage of current property values. Now the city has four indus- trial parks in addition to the almost $3 million. Sumter- property owners are paying- $56 this year for fire protec-; tion for every structure on res- idential property.

Fuels used in the process; include coal, petroleum coke,; tires, natural gas and fuel oil,- according to supplemental information filed with the, application. housing developments and; other businesses, which is helping to "secure the finan-, cial future" in Wildwood. "The growth is inevitable,, but we tried to plan and pre- pare for it the best we could." He said acquiring the land: through voluntary annexation will "protect us from being- surrounded and swallowed up by development in The, Villages and the county." "It's going to be some excit- ing times here especially for young folks who want to stay in the area and make a living here," Wolf said.

TERRY WITT Special to the Times State scientists gathered in the Withlacoochee State Forest Friday to call attention to a mystery they are just now beginning to unravel. Nestled in the tall grasses of a stand of pine trees are about 60 gopher tortoise shells, the remains of animals that were part of a large die-off. The shells are scattered around a 200- to 300-acre area southwest of Tillis Hill Recreation Area off County Road 480 in south Citrus County Foresters with the Florida Division of Forestry discov- ered the remains less than a month ago as they marked pine trees to be cut for a thinning operation. The cause of the die-off is unknown. Vince Morris, leader of the ecology unit that manages the 160,000-acre state forest, said scientists suspect well inten- tioned residents may have unknowingly dumped diseased tortoises off. in the forest and infected healthy animals living there, triggering the die-off. But he said it's too early to draw conclusions. What they do know is that the dead tortoises, often scattered as much as 100 feet to 200 feet apart, died in healthy gopher tortoise habitat on protected state land. Joan Berish, a research biol- ogist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said the tortoises were not killed for their meat. It'they had been butchered, the .shells would ha'e beea cut *operW-. e ttftoise on tlh'e:halt shelf: s[h aid.-',.

This leaves Berish and University of Florida research veterinarian Dr. Lori D. Wendland, w\ho are leading the investigation. with an alarming mystery on their hands. While it is true tortoises die every day as a result of devel- opment pressures, diseases and attacks by other wild ani- mals. tortoises that lie on state lands are viewed as "assurance colonies." Berish said. They assure the species will survive But this assurance colony is dead. And no one knows why.

I found them to be the salt of the earth; their word was better than any notarized contract today. To top it off guy had a sister: Bern iece, and his mother, who were the finest cooks in the country I can tell you that for a 14 15-year-old kid like me thatwas like finding gold at the end of the rainbow. I was a day rider back then and always appreciated being called to help them. On, another note, guy and Anne always donated to our Sumter County Fair, not only financially. but they put in untold hours oftime and labor seeing that the fair went offwithout a hitch (Guy was a direc- tor on the fair board for ages). During the start of World War II, Uncle Brant (as w'e called him) pur- chased many thousands of dollars worth ofwar bonds during the early stages of the war bond drive and guy served in the war. Sorry to go on about the Thompson family so much but I think they should be well recognized for their place in Sumter and Lake County history. William Clay Wing Wildwood Decision time forA Medicare benefiVOCATE Decision tie, for Medicare beneficiaries S kindly save the next three : columns, so we can accom- L .plish what We need to. I shall attempt to collate the Medicare plan with the insurance plans that you may or not be con- '* sidering. You will find these columns helpful ,' in makingyour decision. A quick recap: I have ,3 written 12.000 to 15,000 words on this new law. far more than any other columnist. I have given my best to attempt to Di translate a most confus- D ing program. The next, Roi two columns will not concern those people who qualify for a full or partial subsidy. They will not concern those folks who have had and will continue with a former group plan, no matter the entity, that is providing continued Medicare Credible Coverage, as their pre- scription drug plan. These future columns will be written for those 20 million or so Medicare beneficiaries who need to make a very important and informed decision. And, at this point, time is still on your side. However, read this series any- way: You will learn something! I have been averaging three, speaking engagements per week; I read (or scan) some 60 to 100 news- papers per week I have answered more than 1,000 individuals on a one-to-one basis, questions received by e-mail, the post office and telephone. We have solved a great number of problems, less- ened a great deal of stress, and made many new friends. And, of course readers' questions and problems have been sat- isfied at no cost. No, I am not patting myself on the. back., Perhaps it has been a bit more public service in 2005 than I anticipat- 'ed, but it is my feeling of obligation, to both you N and the newspapers that I write for. HAN And the overwhelm- ing conclusion is: Folks are still confused. This is based on what I read and my personal experience. In fact, put- ting aside the new law, I am find- ing that people are still baffled by the entire Medicare program. We have battled our way through a language of government bureaucracy, and we now face the language of the insurance indus- try. I do not believe that either of these languages, foreign to most of us folks, were written purposely to confuse you, or that either the entity that created the law or the insurance industry marketing the plan had any deceit or misrepre- sentation in mind with the wordage of the presentation. The language is the only one that these respective groups are familiar with. Indeed, it could have been far smoother and understandable, but it is not, and we mustdeal with it. After all, no one group wants you to join this plan more than the government and the insurance industry that is involved. I shall not repeat any of this info in the next two columns, However, you may always con- tact me with your problems, sug- gestions and comments, be they positive or negative. I will not respond to this singu- lar column, and I shall not waste a word i n the two editions following this one. I only ask you to put off your decision for two more weeks. You will still have some three to four weeks to join and have your policy effective Jan. 1,2006. Reassessing the continued con- fusion, and having read many of the insurance plans, your wait will be well worth it But, I needed to do this first! Keep my green tea warm, and be here the next two weeks. May you and yours have a pleasant and gratifying Thanksgiving. Despite all, we indeed have much to be thankful for, and a bountiful thanks from me to you, for being there.

I h SUMMER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2005, PAGE 5 Local businesses gather in the spirit of holiday season Businesses help local charity with support for holiday ROBIN EDDINS Times Correspondent Last Thursday, local busi- nesses gathered at Veranda Home Furnishings in Wildwood to decorate Christmas trees. The trees are being auc- tioned off to benefit Sumter County Habitat for Humanity. Veranda Home Furnishings purchased 9 trees for the auc- tion and were joined for the decorating by representatives of Citizens First Bank, Micki Blackburn Realty, Great Lakes Carpet and Tile, the Sumter County Chamber of Commerce, Connie Duff Wise- State Farm Insurance, Stokes Accounting, Cindy Chevrolet and Omni Financial Services. Each tree is themed, like Micki Blackburn's "A Taste of Sumter County" which, in addition to decorations also has envelopes containing gift certificates to 12 different Sumter County restaurants and the Cindy Chevrolet tree is decorated with Chevrolet model symbols and Matchbox- sized cars. Those interested in seeing or bidding on the trees are welcome to peruse them at Veranda Home Furnishings 850 S. Main Street, Wildwood between November 18 and December 1 when the top five bidders will be invited to a Wine and Cheese Gala. The tree idea was the brain- child of Veranda's Chief Operating Officer Ann Hughes who realized that many local charities have suffered from depleted resources in the wake of five devastating hurri- canes in the past year.

Lake and Sumter Counties' Business Assistance Center Welcomes New Manager THE SALVATION ARMY IS CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON "We are thankful that folks are calling and asking about how to help during the holi- days", said Bill Stewart Service Center Administrator for The Salvation Army, Sumter County Service Center. "Right now we are concerned that we may not have enough volunteers to assist w ith the various holiday programs. 'Volunteers are still needed to help 'Ring the Bells' at the traditional Red Kettles as well as with the 'Angel Trees' and gift distribu- tion". Stewart continued. Volunteers play a key role in helping to raise funds that are used to assist people dur- ing the holidays and through- out the year. During last year's holiday season, 175 families were assisted in Sumter County and that num- ber is expected to double this year The Salvation Army ket- tles will be seen at the local Wal-Mart (Bushnell) and Winn-Dixie in Bushnell & Wildwood. Individual volun- teers and organizations often form teams to ring the bells for one or several days. "Volunteer recruitment is get- ting started late due to the recent hurricanes and we are hoping that local churches. service clubs, school groups, and individuals will see this as an excellent opportunity to provide help to our friends in need", said Stewart. Many stu- dents use this opportunity to earn community' service hours. The Angel Tree provides an opportunity to select a child or senior citizen and then pur- chase clothing and other sug- gested items for them. The Angel Trees will be located at Wal-Mart (Bushnell), Community National Bank (Bushnell and Wildwood), SunTrust Bank (BushnellI. and McDonalds (Wildwood). Any churches, offices. or busi- nesses that would like to have an Angel Tree are encouraged to call The Salvation Army. Persons and groups inter- ested in volunteering for any of the holiday programs may visit the office located at 870 N. Main Street in Bushnell, Florida or call 352.568.2284.

As the 2005 year comes to a close I want to thank each of you for your generosity to myself and the Chamber of Commerce.

This calendar year we have added 51 new mern- bers, seen record attendance at our Chamber lunch- eon and worked to increase communication within our Chamber. Sumter County Chamber of Commerce's growth is indicative of the community spirit prevalent in Sumter County. The connections and support that you have pro- vided' have added value to this community. Everyday I encounter the generosity that our mem- bership displays toward Sumter County. It is this community spirit that sets this community apart. I - want to thank each of you for making Sumter a bet- ter place., As we approach this holiday season, I want to encourage you to continue this spirit of generosity. I hope to see this excitement continue into the 2006 year. On behalf of Sumter County Chamber of Commerce I want to wish each of you a happy holi- day season.

Or at the very least, stock car speed. Following in his dad's foot- steps, Dubbs built his own car and signed on. His dad Mike started rac- ing about five years ago, after getting involved through a friend. He used to go help the friend, but got bored with watching and decided to race, he said with a laugh. They were on a traveling series team, according to his wife Janine. She said they would travel from Punta Gorda to Hialeah and around the state, with Mike working as a pit crew member before he began rac- ing himself. The father-son team made a special trip to Bushnell Elementary School last month to encourage kids with their reading. The younger Dubbs serves as a volunteer in teacher Darlene Hawkins' classroom and when the kids Accelerated Reader series had a focus on racing, the father and son team brought one of their cars in for a show and to tell about their experi- ences. Along with the car, they brought all the accessories, from fire protective shoes A new Cole Jeremy and Kiley Cole would like to announce the birth of their daughter Katelyn Lacy, born Sept. 3, 2005, at Leesburg Regional Medical Center Katietipped the scales at7 pounds, 12 ounces and w\as 20-1/2 inches long at birth. Grandparents are Chuck and Julie Fairbrother of Americus, Georgia and Bubba and Cheryl Cole of Wildwood. Great-grandparents are the late Ollie and Elizabeth Dew and the late Aris Perry, all of Americus, Georgia and the late Charlie and Peggy Fairbrother of Lake Blackshear, Georgia, Carl and Linda Cole of Wildwood, Pat and Keith Evans of Coleman, and Ed Alford of Lake City. Katie is the niece of Mandi Cole of Wildwood and Christy and Larry Gaines of Oxford. and body clothes to helmets and trophies. Kyle plans to go into sports management and teaching. He wants to attend college and race next season. "I think he's a great kid," said his mom, adding that he's an honor student who "knows what he wants," and knows it doesn't come easy - that he has to work for it. "And he's proud of what he's done." Because he and his dad are in the beginner's class, the hobby isn't as expensive as it could be. It's the hobby stock and late model that really cost more money, she said, adding that the class depends on a vari- ety of things, including motor size, power, cams and body styles. Kyle races a 1977 Ford Thunderbird, number 32 and his dad races a 1976 NoVa, number 36. While she's mellowed a lot since Kyle first took up track- ing, Mrs. Dubbs said that first race for him, "scared me to death." She said she was sitting thinking things like, "Play nice, be fair, stay on the road, don't go too fast, watch that car behind you." She recalls that he spun out a couple of times in the early races. He said he was nervous at first. "When I was sitting and waiting to go out on the track, my legs couldn't stop shak- ing," he said with a laugh. Michael (left) and Kyle Dubbs (right) are father and son racers who compete in stock cars at the Citrus County Speedway. The younger Dubbs, a student at South Sumter High School, is also a volunteer at Bushnell Elementary School. Because the students Accelerated Reader series focuses on racing, the men brought one of their cars to the school and gave kids a chance to get up close and personal. The Dubbses are shown here with Bushnell Elementary School students James Miner and David Jacobek. But then, "Once I got out on the track and the green "flag dropped, I just went." These days, Mrs. Dubbs says, "It's fun. It's a family sport," noting that she and the two youngest Dubbs sib- lings Leah and Devin, sit in the stands and cheer their drivers on. She even took part in the racing recently. "I just drove the Powder Puff Derby this weekend." It's an all female race. She believes she moved up from her starting position of 20 out of 27 to finish 10th. As for Kyle and Mike Kyle finished about 10th and Mike finished fifth. Mike finished fourth in the point series. "It's an exciting thing. Something I do with my dad. Something that he got me into." He plans to continue rac- ing for a long time, especially if his dad continues and they can keep it a family sport. T. S, ~Advertisement Do you need a loan?

And you will be rewarded with a special kind of love that will fill your heart every time you look at that beautiful white face.

Special support for special need David Foster, a Sumter County resident and employ- ee of Prosthetics Research Specialists, Inc for seven years, learned his baby daughter was having health problems. After going to sev- eral specialists, ,it was deter- mined that little Suzanne's skull was not growing normal- ly. Part of the soft spots on her skull were already closed. This meant that as her head grew, it would do so dispro- portionately. One side would remain flat while the other side would grow into a bulge, affecting the brain. Although state aide would help. pay for the surgery expenses, cover- age on a special helmet to pro- tect her head after surgery was not available. A collaboration of profes- sionals from the othothics and prosthetics industry donated their services to help little Suzann get the helmet she needed. Ronnie Graves, BOCPO, CO of Prosthetics Research Specialists, Inc. in Bushnell, and David Goris, CPO of Sonlife Orthotics and Prosthetics, Inc. in Brooksville (satellite office in Bushnell), made a cast of Suzann's head with the nec- essary measurements to make a helmet Shannon Schwinn of OrthoAmerica, Inc. in Orlando, manufactured the custom helmet from the cast. All three companies and practitioners waived their fees and worked together so that little Suzann could get the appropriate device she Suzann Foster wearing her protective helmet after sur- gery. Her family has decorat- ed her helmet with stickers to make it fun to wear. needed to recover. Prosthetics Research Specialists, Inc. re- arranged David's work schedule so that he did not miss a paycheck during the times he had to be with his daughter for surgery and doc- tor visits.

A bright, colorful azalea, Christmas begonia, chrysanthemum or a gaily- decorated poinsettia, kalan- choe, or Christmas cactus added to the other decora- tions in the home give the hol- iday season a festive air. These Christmas plants can be enjoyed not only during the holidays but will remain attractive far into January and even February if properly cared for. Care of Christmas plants, whether a colorful cyclamen, a long-lasting kalanchoe, or a cheerful Christmas begonia, is easy. Faithful attention will add days and even weeks of life to any of these popular Christmas plants. Temperature has an impor- tant influence on the length of time a flowering houseplant will remain attractive. The poinsettia is especially sensi- tive to chilling, and a pro- longed chill will cause it to loose its leaves. The plant should be placed in the coolest place in the room, but not in a cold draft. This means away from radiators and any. other source of heat. A temperature of 65 degrees is satisfactory, but 60 degrees is still better for most of the flowering potted plants. In fact, cyclamen like a 50- degree night temperature. The method of watering many times determines the life of a plant. Many people drown their plants by watering at regular intervals, not considering if the plant needs it Plants roots need air as well as water, and excessive amounts of water do not allow a place for air in the soil. Over watering literally smothers the plant roots. Proper watering calls for a lit- tle thoiughtthilness and often the exercise of restraint. Water should be applied in sufficient quantities to thor- oughly soak the soil in the pot and no more given until the ~-1ROPANE ~~~ CFlemmmunZAM Prices good Ihru 11 30/( C ',T :5 05 r60 GALLON SET & FILL 100 GALLON 1 SET & FILL PAR-GAS, Your Hometown Propane Company ~ Fami l 352-793 ODAY!.

Plants should be checked for dryness daily, but not watered if the soil is still moist. Remember that most holiday plants have been out of the greenhouse a short period. The difference between a greenhouse envi- ronment and a typical indoor room is usually considerable. In the home, provide as much natural light as possible. A dark bedroom, hall, entrance foyer, or living room does not have optimum growing condi- tions. Place your plants where they receive the morning sun. Poor light will cause leaf drop. Although the humidity in a house is not easily altered, plants will do best in an area of the house where the humidity is greatest. This is usually in the cooking area. It often helps when plants are set on pebble-filled saucers whit water maintained at a level just below the base of the pot so that it does not though the water. 'By giving your Christmas pot plants the best environ- mental conditions of proper temperature, adequate water, and good light, they will fur- nish an attractive display for a longer time. Plant clinics are held at the extension office in Sumter County 793-2728 on Thursday, as well as 1 to 4pm 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 330-5pm on the second Wednesday of every month at the Lake Panasoffkee Recreation Center, located at 1852 County Road 457.

The bell ringers may be found on various days at the following locations: Wal-Mart in Bushnell, Winn-Dixie in Bushnell, and Winn-Dixie in Wildwood. Mrs. Stewart noted that many more volunteers are still need for ringing the bells as well as other projects such as Christmas gift distribu- tion.

Law enforcement agencies throughout the state are par- ticipating in the Thanksgiving Click It or Ticket Florida holi- day campaign to heighten safety belt use awareness dur- ing one of the busiest travel times in the U.S. The mobi- lization conducted by the Florida Highway Patrol and local law enforcement agen- cies throughout Florida will run from Nov. 18 to Nov. 30 to coincide with the Thanksgiving holiday. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) projects there could be as many as 567 highway related deaths over the 2005 Thanksgiving holiday week- end. "It is important that motorists understand the importance of buckling up every time they get into their vehicle," said Carla Sims, Florida Department of Transportation Traffic Safety Administrator. "The simplest and most effective action a motor vehicle driver or occu- pant can take to save their life is to spend a few seconds buckling their safety belt." Law enforcement officers throughout Florida are doing a great job saving lives through safety belt enforce- ment. The Thanksgiving holiday kicks off one of the nation's busiest travel seasons of the year so law enforcement agen- cies will be increasing their visibility and will have more patrol units out on the road protecting motorists.

Raiders take win against Bolles STEVEN AYERS Times Correspondent The Jacksonville Bolles Bulldogs came down to Sumter County hoping to cash in on a win advancing one step further in the playoffs hoping to get to state. Likewise, the South Sumter Raiders took to the field on their home turf of Raider Stadium hoping to do the same and take the next step in the quest to seal a state cham- pionship for South Sumter High. In an action-packed game, the Raiders took the game 38 to 35. The game began with the Raiders receiving the kickoff. The Raiders made a power play by throwing the ball to Carlos Everett to the 50-yard line but were forced to punt the ball to Bolles. The ball was recovered by Raider Kendall Smith. The 1st quarter ended with Carlos Everett taking control of the ball and run- ning it to the Bulldog 13 yard line then running it to the 1 yard for an easy goal by Jarrod Flemming with only 1.7 sec- onds left in the quarter. The 2nd quarter began with South Sumter kicker Kody Stump kicking in, the extra point to put the score at 7-0 with the Raiders in the lead only seconds into the quarter. With 9:22 left in the half there was a turnover, from Bolles to South Sumter. With 8:59 left in the 2nd quarter Carlos Everett made yet another TD to leave the score at 13-0 when Kody Stump kicked in the extra point putting the Raiders 14-0 ahead of the Dogs. When the Bulldogs took the ball on the kickoff return Bolles running back Andre Bird ran a TD in for Bolles putting the score at 6-14 when Jon Soto, Bulldogs kicker, kicked in an extra point for a 7-14 score midway into the 2nd quarter. Flemming then threw a long pass to Carlos Everett who ran just shy of the end zone for teammate Nick Southall to run in the ball for a 21-7 score just before half- time. With only second left in the 1st half Bolles QB Randy Hardin threw the ball to Bulldog Running Back Sam Viering for a 14-21 score to end the 1st half. Bolles kicker on Soto kicked a successful extra point The 3rd quarter began with the Bulldogs receiving the ball via the kickoff. The Bulldogs made another TD shortly thereafter from run- ning back Shaun Chaples and a good extra point from kicker Jon Soto. Shortly after the Bolles touchdown Carlos Everett scored another TD with Kody Stump kicking another very consistent extra point. Then Bolles Wide Receiver Tray Herndon caught a long pass and took it straight to the end zone. After the extra point from Jon Soto the score was tied up late into the 3rd. The 4th quarter began with the Raiders taking control of the ball once again hoping to take the lead once again. There was a punt and Try Herndon took the ball and ran with it but it was Bolles Running Back Ray Van Reneburg who made the touchdown putting the Bulldogs in the lead and after a good extra point the score was 35-28 with the Bulldogs in the lead. After moving hard down the field Nick Southall made another TD for South Sumter tying up the game at 35-35 after another quality Stump- kicked extra point. Travis Hutcheson blocked the ball for the Raiders halfway through the 4th quarter in hopes that the Raiders could take the lead once again in this very tight football game causing the Bulldogs to punt the ball to South Sumter. The all-star standout play of the game was a long 60-yard throw to Tony Smith that put the Raiders only yards from the goal line. Kody Stump kicked in a 3-point kick settling up the score 38-35 with only 38.4 seconds left in the game. Following the game, Raider Head Coach Inman Sherman said, "I told the team about having the confidence in our- selves to make plays and we made them tonight" Sumter County Youth Soccer Club had their division games on November 19 at Millennium Park in Wildwood.

Do you want to save approximately 50 percent of your grocery bill? If your answer is 'yes' to both questions then SHARE may be the answer for you. Even if you don't volunteer there are ways to do so and benefit from the. SHARE Florida Food Network Started in 1990, the Florida Food Network buys. food in bulk to distribute locally rewards those who help their neighbors with a steep dis- count on food purchases with buying power that equals some of the larger grocery store chains. - Each member first volun- teers somewhere, some how, whether helping your neigh- bor get to church or the store, helping a scout troop, being a member of a 'chic -organiza- tion or if you time is limited even donating two hours of your time over the course of a month to the SHARE group nearest you then you are eli- gible to purchase a food pack- age. Each month the basic pack- age costs $18 and other spe- cialty packages vary in cost but all are at about 50 percent of what an individual would pay in the grocery store. For November the basic package consisted of pork chops, chicken legs, fish filets, cocktail franks, chicken breasts, plain bagels, pota- toes, yellow onions, a head of lettuce, broccoli, carrots, lemons, apples and tanger-' ines. The Thanksgiving Dinner Package included an 8-10 pound turkey, stuffing mix, cranberry sauce, gravy mix, a head of lettuce, broc- coli, celery, four apples and a pumpkin pie for just $19. Another special was for 10- 5- ounce bacon Wtrapped top sir- loin steaks. Extra meat pack- ages are also available for $12 each. Volunteers are limited to the amount of packages they wish to purchase. Shirley Reuter, head of the Wildwood SHARE, enjoys helping out her neighbors. "It's wonderful to be able to help others reward them- selves and save a lot in their ,food budgets, too." "The Wildwood SHARE dis- tributes from the Soup Kitchen at the 1st Presbyterian Church at 203 Barwick St. on the third Saturday of the month. at which time you can pay for the next month's packages you wish to purchase and also for next month you may pur- chase, your packages on Thursday, Dec 1, from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. at the church.

Until now, people have had to make a decision'' about their postoperative vision prior to surgery. Distance vision with readers or near vision with glasses for everything else? What about monovision. with one eye set far and the other near? With revolutionary breakthroughs in lens replacement technology (Crystalens e, a ReZoom-T and ReStor3) patients can receive a lens to restore a full range of vision without glasses following surgery. Unlike any single focus implant, these intraocular lenses are- designed to function as the natural eye does; allowing you to focus on objects that are close up, in the distance and in the intermediate range.

After selling a prime I was richly blessed in hav- otter hide I could stock up on ing been raised near the banks plenty of ammunition at the of the one time pristine local Western Auto Store and Fennholloway River and the better yet if I could get two or rich hammock woods that bor- three or even more otter hides ders it as it twisted and turned during the course of a hunting slowly flowing to the gulf pro- and trapping season I could viding treasured and even out right buy a new rifle unspoiled hunting grounds. or shotgun or at least put a good down payment on one. Incidentally, back in those days you could go into most local places that sold ammuni- tion. If you did not have enough money to buy a whole box of shells the owner would gladly bust open a new box and sell you whatever the number of shells that you had the cash money to pay for. Many times I would go into a store and buy a few each of several different types of rifle and shotgun shells and you can bet I did not waste a single one of them. When I first started hunting, my daddy would let me have a few shells and he fully expect- ed that if I shot at a squirrel, duck or whatever, I had better be bringing some meat back to the house. He would not in any way tolerate wasting shells or any of the meat from wild game. As far as the meat from the wild game we shot, most of it was eaten right off the bat but my mama would often save up a bunch of wood ducks and one of the main courses at both our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners was a great big pan of cornbread dressing with a half dozen wood duck breasts baked a golden brown on top of the dressing. As far as the squirrels went, most of the time mama fried them just like a batch of chick- en and then made a big pan of milk gravy to go along with a pot of sticky rice. If the grey squirrels were young and not too tough they could be cooked outright but if they were old squirrels most of the time they had to be par boiled a while to tender the meat up a bit. On the other hand, a full grown fox squirrel could always be figured on being as tough as whip leather so they were always tendered down a while by par boiling them before being made into a big pot of squirrel and rice. Ever so often on rare occa- sions, some of us might luck out and get a wild turkey. This was time for real celebration as this was about the only way for us to have a real turkey for Thanksgiving or Christmas. There was not a whole lot of wild turkey in the woods of north Florida back in the time I was growing up where now the woods are full of them up there. Nowadays, most turkey hunting is done in the spring with all kinds of fancy meth- ods and equipment but back then it was usually just pure out and out luck when you happened to chance up on a wild turkey. If you got a wild turkey in your sights you emp- tied the gun at it no matter whatever sex the -wild turkey might be, whether it was a hen or gobbler, they both fried up mighty fine. Back then, folks were not in love with a wild turkey gob- blers beard' and spurs and I have heard the comment 'dozens of times that what good were the beards and spurs anyway as they were not fit to eat? Times have sure changed, as now days a lot of hunters could care less about the wild turkey meat and just want the beards and spurs to show off as trophies. Folks don't do as much camping around Thanksgiving and Christmas as they used to. Many folks around where I lived bitterly moved to the woods when hunting season opened. With all of the crops laid by it was the time of the year to get into the woods and relax. For a lot of families around where I lived this was a way of life. When I would get the chance I would camp with them and lots of times when I got off the school bus I headed straight for the camp. A lot of folks traditionally spent their Thanksgiving at the camp and have been doing so for many generations. Eating in the woods at the camp just makes food seem to taste a little better in my opin- ion. Anyway, it is for sure I purely miss some of those old times at the hunting camp and the good groceries that were always spread on the table. Bobwhite quail numbers nosedive; leaders seek cure Wildlife conservation authori- ties met at Tall Timbers Research Station near Tallahassee Monday to map a plan to reverse a 25-year decline in Florida's bobwhite quail pop- ulation. ' According to the Northern Bobwhite Conservation, Initiative (NBCI), Florida's quail population has dropped between three and five percent each year for a total decrease of 70 percent since 1980. Experts say that is merely a symptom of a much bigger problem loss of quality habitat. Where hunters in Florida were once harvesting around 2.5 million quail annual- ly during the 1960s. they are now taking fewer than a quarter-mil- lion. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in cooperation with Tall Timbers, called on Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles H. Bronson, Florida Chief Financial Officer Tom Gallagher, U.S. Rep. Allen Boyd, and other state, federal and key conservation organizations to assemble for the Leadership Summit on Bobwhite Management on Florida's Public Lands. The purpose of the half-day meeting was to enlist support of leaders and key stakeholders in public land management, con- servation and bobwhite manage- ment for the focus of restoring habitats for quail. The initiative will help not only quail but also several other birds, including the threatened red-cockaded woodpecker and the Florida scrub-jay, as well as more than 40. endangered or threatened plant species, all of which depend, on the same open pine woods ecosystem for their sur- vival.: Florida has roughly six mil- lion acres of public lands. Approximately 1.5 million of this acreage could provides suitable quail habitat if proper manage- ment techniques such as fre-. quent prescribed burning and timber thinning were employed. "I feel really good about the level of leadership., of those who attended this meeting, and I am confident that we have the abili- ty and commitment to get some things done to help quail restoration in this state," said Congressman Boyd. Represented at the meeting were the state's Division of Forestry, the U.S. Forest Service, University of Florida, water management districts, .Department of Environmental Protection, Allied Sportsmen of Florida, Quail Unlimited,' .Pheasants/Quail Forever, U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. "The number of hunters in this state has been declining sig- nificantly, and I feel we can help turn this around by increasing quality hunting lands and game. This will help pass down the hunting tradition to future gen- erations and increase hunting families in Florida," said Kate Ireland, chair of Tall Timbers' board of directors and owner of Foshalee Plantation. I Other states within the bob- white quail's range, including Alabama, Arkansas, .Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri. North Carolina, Oklahoma,. Tennessee and Texas, have already started similar initia- tives. South Carolina and Mississippi also are on the verge of getting involved, and the goal of the NBCI is to enlist nine more states, adding 2.8 million coveys of quail to the existing populations and improve habi- tat on 81 million acres within the bird's range. The FWC is committed to forming a partnership with sev- eral interested agencies and organizations to share the cost of time and resources spent on the challenge of turning this situa- tion around. One need identi- fied at the meeting was to create a full-time paid position to spearhead this initiative. w*r PAGE 26, SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2005 ALL NEW2006 JEEP COMMANDER Ln V7perne SLMV^ FIVE STAR ALL NEW 2006 DODGE MEGA CAB mmm L SLT CLUB CAB CAW, I 111 rfS #B50428 RAM 4 :7 Automatic o22 9,100#J60FF M SRP MSRP224..........................................25,895 19,10000 OFF MSRP MSRP ...............................s25989500 YOU ftIk PAY wm --- ONLY 2006 DODGE CARAVAN SE 18,95400 OFF MSRP YOU PAY PAY DNLY ONLY *On select 2005 makes and models.
