Established 1881 SUMTER COUNTY .*A VOLUME 121 NUMBER 45 50 CENTS INSIDE Calendar ..............10 Church ............... 7 Obituaries ............6 Police Report ..........3 Tidbits ..............18 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 20051 Raiders set for state game StaffReport The pulse of the South Sumter Raiders is coursing through Sumter County right now, as residents prepare for a journey south, to show their support for the home team and stake their claim on a piece of Sumter history as the Raiders take on Miami in a state championship game. As a matter of fact, it's such a big deal and such a histori- cal spot in time, that the Sumter County School Board voted Tuesday night to dis- miss school early on Thursday and close it on Friday. While the pulse is strong everywhere, excitement is rippling through South Sumter High School this week. You can feel the high energy just walking into the front office, as plans for the game gear up. More than 4,000 tickets to Thursday night's game were sold last Friday when the Raiders took Madison 29-14. "Our defensive effort was superb." Raider's head coach Inman Sherman said of 'Friday night's game. I don't think we need to improve a thing for the Miami game. It's just an all-out effort at this point. We've done all the improving we can do." Sherman, visibly exited about the upcoming state playoff game, explained that the game last Friday was, "almost perfect. "They were a great team. They were undefeated until they played us. It was a privi- lege to beat them. "Sigmund Cook was the player of the game." Sherman said. "'He made a lot of pass break ups ..on-defense that, really helped and Travis Hutchinson also played well." Since last Friday night's game, more than a dozen Chris Morris (seated) stepped into the South Sumter High School front office to find a crowd waiting for football and bus tickets to Thursday night's game.

A deep gash encircled her neck from the plastic cable that was used to keep her col- lared and leashed. Not far away were her eight newborn puppies. She was unable to feed the pups. She was too malnourished and too tangled in the cable that bound her. Odom found the animals on Oct. 30, after a young child called him saying the dog was seen in weeds near an aban- doned home on State Street. "The dog had gotten all tied 'up with the cable .wrapped around it in the bushes so it couldn't move," he said: "The cable around her neck had bitten into her neck and you could tell that it had been there for quite some time because of all the scarring." Odom provided the dog with some water and called Sumter County Animal Control for assistance. "I think it's pretty sick when someone takes an animal like that and treats it like that," he said. In the meantime, Odom says he is continuing an inves- tigation to determine owner- ,ship of the dog. "I'm going to investigate it fully," he said. "Right now I'm following up some leads and we've recovered evidence from the scene. "We intend to follow up to the fullest extent and then present the information to the state attorney's office for pros- ecution." Animal abuse can either be a misdemeanor crime or a felony, according to Assistant State Attorney Jody Fisher. Misdemeanor animal abuse has a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a $5,000 fine. Felony animal abuse has a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10.000 fine. The degree of punishment is determined by the intent of abuse, she said. Fisher said she will pursue the case once results from the Center Hill investigation are completed. "'We're going to stallrt cracking down on these types of cases, there's no other choice. We're the only voice these animals have and we're going to be screaming loud." Persons wit h information about the case can contact Odom at 7934609.

Instead of incorporating vacant retail space into a plan for major shuffling of county departments, the board directed its architectural con- sultant to begin planning for a single story building of up to 10,000 square feet to be built adjoining the east side of the county judicial building. The new structure will be designed to house the Fifth Judicial Circuit State Attorney's Office.

"She suffered some type of injury to her neck like this before this incident because other scars were found." Sumter County Animal Control took Gracie and her pups to Bushnell veterinari- an Mark Yates where she underwent surgery, for her injuries and the puppies were given nutrients, Evans said. The large wound on Amazing Gracie's neck was caused by a It's been a month now since cable that was used to collar and chain her. Gracie and her puppies were first discovered. The dog and her puppies are currently being housed at Sumter County Animal Control until the Humane Society can obtain custody, Evans said. "Now, she looks similar to a small cow," Evans joked. Gracie has gained weight and is nursing her month-old puppies. All the dogs are in good health. "The people at Animal Control are just totally mak- ing a fuss over her," she said. "The puppies are starting to walk and they're all doing well." Gracie will eventually be available for adoption, along with her eight puppies. In the meantime, Odoni' says he will do everything possible to find the person responsible for the abuse; "We're not going to tolerate actions like this."

Noticing the public of meet- ings and passing on the infor- mation to parents who need babysitters and after-school, out-of-school supervision for their kids is another part of the problem. Shirley said the board post- ed notice on the doors of the Sumter County Courthouse, and were finding times and dates that would allow stu- dents to make up the time, without a loss of instructional time. "This has never happened in South Siumter's history." he said of the Raiders chance to play for the state title. While the board made the decision to close school, the logistics might have been far worse if they hadn't, accord- ing to Shirley, who pointed out that so many people were going to the game, he didn't know who would be available to come in and work as teach- ing staff. "It's a small, close-knit com- munity," he said, adding that just about everybody either graduated from the school or has a son, daughter, nephew, uncle or cousin at the school. "Friday night, they ran out of food and they ran out of seats and they still came in. Obviously, the whole district is proud of their accomplish- ments," Shirley said of last week's game against Madison. He said the focus should definitely be on the players, but adds that some attention' should also go to Coach Inman Sherman and his staff. He said the coaches spent more than 16 hours over they weekend, prepping for the upcoming game and that was without the players. They did the same thing in the challenges against Madison and Bolles, earlier this month. The players will leave earli- er than the buses chartered by fans. They plan to keep to their routine. The buses are slated to get back around 4 a.m. on Friday. The game was originally set for Saturday night, but got bumped back to Thursday when Hurricane Wilma delayed the FIU game. "I am so proud of the kids and the coaches and the fans because of their support for them," Shirley said. "This is an opportunity for the entire county to unite for one goal." These young puppies where saved when they were found in weeds near an abandoned home in Center Hill. he qI ---- ---- ---- --- ---------------- ALL NEW PAY PACKAGE; $1500 SIGN ON BONUS Class A CDL Company Drivers & Increased 0/0 PKG Call Val 1-800-973-9161 www.heyl.net; HEYL TRUCK LINES, INC : - *'^ -^* i;".' a&ooo iILLm1& Hours one 'Full Year!

Bond was set at $6,500. The street value of the mar- ipuana confiscated is approx- imately $70,000, according to the press release. : The residence at 7181 County Road 625 was sus- pected of being a marijuana grow house, and upon exe- cutting a search warrant, detectives discovered 1.5 pounds of marijuana in the kitchen, and 35 Xanax pills in individual plastic bags, according to the release. The Xanax pills had been sorted and ready to be sold individually, according to sheriff's Lt. Bobby Caruthers. Xanax is a prescription anti-anxiety medication. It is used primarily for short-term relief of mild to moderate anxiety arid nervous tension It was a pretty substantial bust," said Caruthers. "We do feel we have put a good dent in that operation." Caruthers said the mari- juana was being grown in an "out building" that contained a secret room. The building looked like a game room but there was a corner shelf with a hidden door, Caruthers said. Behind the door was a sophisticated system for growing marijua- na. "The lighting system was very elaborate with lights that moved on a track over the plants," he said. The marijuana was confis- cated. It will be held as evi- dence and eventually be destroyed, Caruthers said.

"By the grace of God, the judge let me into the program. It totally changed my life," Rockwell said, though he was- n't looking forward to it at the time. "I thought it was crazy. It was all about God and stuff...I didn't want anything to do with it." But he said the longer he was there, the more involved he became.

McCollum Ave. Bushnell, FL 33513 Member Florida Press Association Our VOICE A happy ending that could be even happier It's refreshing to write stories with happy- endings. Unfortunately, in animal abuse cases, they can be few and far between but not this time. For Amazing Gracie, a mixed- breed mother of eight, life is getting a whole lot better thanks to some concerned people. Gracie's story appears on the front page of this week's newspa- per. She was a dog that apparently was neglected to the point of seri- ous damage to herself and her recently born puppies. It's very likely that this story could have ended tragically if it hadn't been for human compassion. Gracie was rescued from entan- glement in weeds near an aban- doned house in Center Hill. Center Hill Police Chief Roger Odom found the dog. The compas- sionate act of saving Amazing Gracie and her pups begins with him. He is the first link in a chain of people that will surely to lead to a happy ending. Gracie has undergone an opera- tion and is now healthy. Her eight puppies are flourishing. Some people will find the grue- some photograph of Gracie's neck wound difficult to view. But we believe it was important to publish so readers can see the cruelty that this dog had to endure. It is a disturbing photo but not nearly as disturbing as the thought that someone caused this suffering. . Many people have taken up the cause to find the person responsi- ble for this act. It's nice to see so many people determined to take up the cause. The Humane Society of Sumter County needs to be commended for the work they have done not only to help Gracie and her puppies but for all the assistance they've provided to Sumter's unwanted and discard- ed pets. It's amazing what a group of ded- icated and compassionate people can achieve. While most of us are busy during this holiday season buying gifts for loved ones, it would be good to remember and help support the efforts of the Humane Society. Their compassion is great but their funds are limited. In Gracie's case, they provided funds for her, operation and med- ication as well as food for her and her puppies. A story about Gracie's plight appears on Page 1 and a. Critter Chatter column in this week's issue provides additional information. Unfortunately, Gracie is only one example of the many animals that need help. The Humane Society has a spe- cial fund set up to help provide aid to animals like Gracie. Adding your donation to that fund will provide a special treat during this holiday season. Just when you think you've got them figured out, they manage to surprise you. I'm talking about Center Hill. I went to a special meeting on Nov. 22 with the understanding that there would be readings of an ordinance to allow Sumter Cement to mine in Center Hill (even though the property is not annexed into the city yet). For anyone who doesn't know, the compa- ny wants to mine and manufacture cement on about 1,500 acres there. I expected a meeting similar to oth- ers in the city lately- crowded and long, with frustrated residents speak- ing to a tight-lipped council. Instead, I saw what could possibly be a record for short city council meetings. As fast as the city clerk could spit out the words of the ordi- nance twice, it was over. They managed to waste the time of everyone who bothered to show up, dismiss any voice of dissention, and breeze through a substantial legal process all in less time than it takes to make instant rice. I thought that was rather amazing. For people who can spend hours dragging out discussion on mundane city business, they don't seem to see the importance of discussing things that could have a profound impact on residents' lives for years to come. The reason for these hearings is to inform the public, but Center Hill is avoiding -disseminating information like the plague. Here's exactly what was said: 'An ordinance of the City of Center Hill, Florida, proposing a text amend- ment to the adopted local land devel- opment code; providing for codifica- tion; providing for conflict; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date." Meeting adjourned. A few audience members murmur bits of sarcasm as they get up to leave. I can only assume the ordinance she read had something to do with the request by Sumter Cement to change the current city code, which prohibits mining, to allow mining on agricultur- ally zoned land with a conditional use permit. I, like everyone else there, have to assume this because they never both- ered to explain. Council Member Elsie Ramsey invited everyone to come back for the Dec. 6 meeting and said they will take on discussion at that time.' The coun- cil is apparently scheduled to vote on the, mine issues then- the annexation, conditional use permit, and change to the city code. Let's hope the discussion they allow comes before the vote. It really makes me wonder how long this small government body will be permitted to run the place like a pri- vate business. They seem to feel no obligation to let residents know what's going on there, much less to allow the public to be part of decision- making process. Stay tuned for the Dec. 6 meeting, which starts at 7:30 at the Fellowship Hall of the First Presbyterian Church of Center Hill. Though you may not hear anyone say this, the legal advertisement placed by the city regarding the Dec. 6 meeting reads, "Comments may be voiced at the above-mentioned meet- ing or in writing addressed to the City Clerk, 94 S. Virginia Avenue, Center Hill, FL 33514." r"Copy righted Material o Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" Your Coleman lease wasn't renewed On or about Sept. 30, 2002 the City of Coleman and Sumter County entered into a Fire Lease ("Lease"). The Lease, by its own terms, terminated on Sept. 30,2005. On May 19, 2005, the Director of Sumter County Fire and Rescue, Bill Gulbrandsen, appeared at a workshop held before the City Council. The purpose of the work- shop was to discuss the Lease, Sumter County's performance under the Lease and whether Sumter County intended to renew the Lease. At the workshop meet- ing, Mr. Gulbrandsen was asked whether Sumter County intended to renew the Lease. Mr. Gulbrandsen replied that Sumter County did NOT intend to renew the Lease. Between May 29, 2005 and Sept 30, 2005, Sumter County did not contact the City of Coleman in regard to negotiating either a renewal of the Lease or an exten- sion of the Lease. Sumter County was well aware that the Lease would terminate on Sept. 30, 2005, yet it took NO steps to either extend the Lease or renew the Lease. On Sept. 26, 2005, Sumter County was provided with a reminder that the Lease would terminate on Sept. 30, 2005 and that the City of Coleman expected the return of the property, both real and personal, that was the subject of the Lease. Even with the reminder, Sumter County took NO steps to contact the City of Coleman to either extend the Lease or renew the Lease. Sumter County voluntarily relin- quished possession of the premises and the property subject to the Lease at the end of the Lease, that is, on Sep. 30, 2005. Sumter County was not "evicted." For an eviction to occur, the party leasing the prop- erty, in this case Sumter County, must be in breach of the Lease or refuse to surrender the property subject to the Lease at the end of the term of the Lease. In this case, the Lease simply expired by its own terms because of the failure of Sumter County to negotiate an extension or renewal of the Lease. The, City of Coleman had no option but to seek the return of its property once the Lease expired. Without the Lease, the City of Coleman lost the protection provid- ed by the Lease, that is, liability insurance. City of Coleman Proud of the Raiders They are doing and have done d great job. Everything seems to have been falling in place, ever though things started out nervous- ly with the first game. They lost to East Ridge but they pulled it out by going for the State championship. The Raiders are champs; I have been going to the games for years; watching different plays, individu- als, just the team itself. It's just something about this year's group that stands out for champs, and I believe that we can and will pull this game to be called champs of Sumter County. Good luck to the team and coaching staff. Especially the staff, because going for two extra points, instead' ,of a field goal, and going for the first down on 4 and 1 outstanding. Hopefully there will be more of those wonderful plays, that will be pulled out (again). Good luck Raiders I'm with you all, so let's come back home champs. Lots of luck to the Raiders.

Leavitt, pro- Roi vided this "statement of compassion." The 50- plus-year-old Leavitt Group Enterprises is now one of the top 20 insurance brokerages in the United States. I know that Leavitt has not had any activity with the group since 1992, although the latest income figures of Leavitt's significant ownership. of the group (I assume in a trust) are from 2003; the amount was $1.1 million, for that year. With Leavitt's statement, the government has passed the "hot potato" to the private insurance industry. The hot potato is, of course, your new Part D of Medicare. The government has set the orig- inal guidelines, but it is allowing the private insurers to "fly" with it. Part D for prescription drug plans is a program where the government chips in 75 percent of your premium to the private sector. Then the government, in theo- ry, indicates that the benefit, after the $250 deductible, pays 75 per- cent of the next $2,000, nothing for the next $2,850 and a magnificent catastrophic benefit once your drugs exceed $5,100 in a calendar year. In reality, the private insurer is paying the cost of what is considered an amount equal to your full responsibility. And, \ the government is pay- ^ ing a premium, as you are, to the insurer. However, most insurers' payments are not paid : in the simple manner that the government has indicated for some two AN years. HAN Insurance companies involved with Part D are motivated by profit. They ultimately have to answer to their stockholders, and this is the system in which we live. Hence, insurers' intentions are not to purposely confuse you or cheat you. They want your busi- ness! And, they want to keep your business once they get it. Subsequently, for an insurer to make a profit and please its enrollees, it must create policies written in an actuarially correct Part D for prescription drug plans is a program where the government chips in 75 percent of your premium to the private sector. manner, something that govern- ment does not understand. If an insurer loses money, it can apply for a rate increase the fol- lowing year, based on what is called "loss ratio." The government can simply print more money, sell various bonds that are not funded and eventually tax you one way or the other. So, insurance company lan- guage may be foreign to us, but it is necessary for an insurer. to ensure a profit But one item that you must be aware of: Let us suppose that your policy simply follows the original formula. I have reviewed one that does. You pay the first $250 as your deductible (note, many insurers are picking up this amount) and now the next $2,000 of expenses (some insurers go further). So, the question is: Does the insurer cotint the 25 percent that they pay toward your total out-of- pocket or the entire cost of said drug? Example: Cost of drug $100. Then, the insurer pays its contrac- tual amount, $25 based on a retail cost of $100. What is deducted from your insurance plan out-of-pocket amount? The entire $100 will be count- ed toward your contractual out- of-pocket amount Why? In theory the insurer is paying the full amount of the retail price, plus your initial lia- bility.

As you read this, I am in California at my nephew's wedding, although that seems impos- sible considering - he's only 8 or 9. At least that's how old he was the last time I was home. My dad's sup- posed to wear a tuxedo, which will probably make me laugh or cry. With all of her mother-of-the - groom duties, I NAI probably won't get KENI to talk to my. favorite sister much I only have one sis- ter, so she's my favorite by default. We've already planned to meet in the mid- dle this spring, maybe Dallas, Texas. There's a great outlet mall in Grapevine, Texas, not too far from the airport. I miss my sister, but we know we'll have eternity together. We're hoping heav- en will have a beach like the one we went to as kids. We could lie out in the sun and hang with Jesus. Like I said, my thoughts are jumbled this week, so please forgive me if I switch gears. The other night I spoke at a women's dinner at Springs Presbyterian Church in Citrus Springs. If you ever go there, don't get Internet directions or you'll end up way out in the wilderness. Instead, call me and I'll tell you how to get there. Springs is my church's first plant, which is like a spin-off. I've written about the pastor, Keeth Staton, in probably three or four of my books. I'm writing another one, but I'm not sure if Keeth will make it in this one, but maybe he will. I knew a lot of the women there, and my friend Tara was there, too. I spoke about being per- fect, meaning having Christ's perfection by 'faith so we N N a don't have to knock ourselves out being religious and fake- holy trying to get God to like us. If we're in Christ, he already likes us - and won't ever stop. Anyway, before I got there I had spent a half-hour changing my clothes. I had a closet full of noth- ing to wear and wasn't thrilled with what I ended up with, but what can iCY you do? The point IEDY is, I should've spent that half- hour praying or at least going over my notes. Then, when I got up to speak I realized I wasn't sure which notes I brought I have several versions of the same talk so I just started talking anyway about what my life would be like if I were I miss my sister, but we know we'll have eternity together. We're hoping heaven will have a beach like the one we went to as kids. We could lie out in the sun and hang with Jesus. perfect. That's when I had another realization: I hadn't prayed, which is how I like to start a talk, not that it's a good luck charm or anything, but it makes you appear holier than you really are. Plus, it's always wise to ask God's' blessing. So, I interrupted myself and started praying. Oh. My. Goodness. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but the moment I said, "Father," God entered that room and unloaded a huge sack full of mercy on me. I felt his smile and I knew that everything I had come to say about repenting of not only our sin but of our attempts at being good and trying to appear holy to oth- ers and to ourselves and to God I was experiencing fresh. I knew, knew, knew I had no business being up there on that stage except for grace, which was the whole point. I'm not sure if I uttered a single coherent thought after that I remember now that I had been so focused on talk- ing about Christ's sacrificial death for us that I forgot to mention his resurrection. So, if you meet any of the Springs women, tell them that Jesus didn't stay dead; to prove he was God, he only stayed dead from Friday to Sunday. But besides that, or maybe because of that, I don't know, God smiled on me, which was so cool. After thinking mostly about what to wear and how many books I'd sell and what we were going to eat, God smiled, and that felt good. The one I call my uncle- dad told me that he's preached some of his best sermons when he's been in the deepest sin. . God loves sinners who love Jesus. which is a pretty good thought and not jumbled at all, so I think Fll end with that.

Two challengers aren't making reelection easy for longtime Wildwood Mayor Ed Wolf this, December. Wolf, who said he hasn't been chal- lenged in six years, said this is a crucial point in city gov- ernment, and "now is not a good time to change leader- ship." Wolf, 59, a retired educator with the Sumter County school system, served as mayor for 19 years, and as city commissioner for 11 years. "Continuity may be the best thing we've got going in our favor," he said. "Leadership and knowledge in the field is the important thing right now... my commitment has pretty much been estab- lished." Wolf is focusing on expand- ing the city's boundaries and tax revenue, which he said is essential to Wildwood's sur- vival. ''We could have very well been left behind and withered away," he said. "We're going to experience some growing pains, but the future looks very bright, very promising." But Michael Holden and Marlon Graham both have their sights set on becoming the newest Wildwood mayor- commissioner Holden, a full-time comput- er systems administrator at the Sumter County Health Department, said his con- cerns are with "new and old Wildwood, where people have lived for generations." He said he wants school children to be escorted through road crossings in cer- tain areas, and wants to expand the police depart- ment before more people move into the city. "You don't want to wait until growth is here," he said. "Wildwood is not ready." He also said he wants to enhance the city's parks and obtain the walking track that was promised but "axed" by the commission. Holden was appointed to, the commission and served for four months until he was defeated during last year's election by current Commissioner Robbie Strickland. He is from Orlando origi- * 64 HP STD 8x8 Shuttle 2-Spool * Aux Valve R-1 Tires 6ft. Rotary * 6ft.

Wolf's other challenger, Marlon Graham, 26, is a life- long resident of Wildwood and works full-time as a grad- uate assistant at the University of South Florida in Tampa. "The biggest issues (facing Wildwood) are economic development," and land annexations, he said. He also said he wants to develop, community-centered programs and events, and running for mayor has "always been something I've wanted to do." City Commissioner John Johnson is also fighting to remain an elected leader bf Sumter's most populous city. Challenger Susan Hutchinson Hooper, whose father served on the commis- sion for 26 years until his death in, 2003, 'is hoping to take Johnson's place. Hooper, 57, is retired from Progress Energy and recently moved back to Wildwood where she was born and where she lived for 24 years. She wants to preserve Wildwood's "rich railroad history" and feels some of the most important issues facing the city are growth manage- ment and drawing the right businesses to the city. Growth issues are also important to Johnson, who has been serving for two years. The Wildwood native cur- rently works as a corrections officer at Coleman Correctional Federal Correctional Complex and a volunteer firefighter with the Wildwood fire station. He said he's for controlled growthand expansion of city boundaries is in Wildwood's best interests. "I believe I'm community- oriented and I'm for the peo- ple," he said. Wildwood Commissioner Pamela Harrison-Bivins was not challenged this year and will serve another term. No one has challenged Bushnell incumbents, but the city will have an election in which voters will presented with a referendum and decide if the city's current, two-year terms for the mayor and city clerk should be changed to four. Bushnell City Councilmen Dale Swain and Billy Williams and City Clerk Joy Coleman will serve again in those positions. The election will be at Bushnell City Hall from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 6. #471 4WD 4 Wheel Drive 72 HP 8x8 Since Shuttle Shift 60 PTO @ 2200 RPM 6 ft. Rotary Mower 6 ft.

B I #461 2WD Am ML SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2005, PAGE 9 District seeks input on Sumter County lakes The Southwest Florida Water Management District is seeking public input about pro- posed minimum lake levels for Lake Panasoffkee, Lake Deaton, Lake Okahumpka, Lake Miona and Big Gant Lake in Sumter County. Minimum lake levels are established to protect lakes from significant harm due to water withdrawals from a lake or the groundwater system. The District Government Board sets these limits as part of achieving a balance between meeting human water needs and those of Florida's natural systems. Minimum lake levels are used as guidelines in District permitting programs, for development of water resource projects and as infor- mation for development of bor- dering lakes. A public open house on the proposed minimum lake levels for these Sumter County lakes will be held Tuesday, Dec. 5, at the City of Wildwood Community Center, 6500 C.R. 139, Wildwood. Citizens are invited to attend the open house anytime between 5 and 7:30 p.m. to ask questions and share their comments. A for- mal presentation is not planned. The open house will afford an important opportuni- ty for local governments, citi-. zens and others to be part of the development of minimum lake levels for area lakes. Public comment gathered at the meeting will be summa- rized and presented to the Governing Board when staff presents the recommended MFL at the District's Jan. 24 Governing Board meeting.

Just Sunday afternoon Sheri and I had the pleasurable task to take two puppies to their potential i adaptors. I am assured they will get wonderful homes. , But earlier, before we left, Supervisor . of Animal Control John Hazlep, Animal Control Officer Frank L Taberner, and the H u m a n e Society/SPCA inves- tigator were called out on an animal cruelty case. A Labrador mix dog, starved, nothing but skin and bones, gave birth to a litter of pup- pies. What makes the scene worse was that she was .chained with a cable that had grown embedded in her neck, almost cutting into the esopha- gus. She lay there, tangled in the cable giving birth, half dead. How long did her owner keep her like that? It appeared that there was an old injury to her neck where the cable had grown in before. So there she was, chained with a i cable for months, while stray male dogs kept coming around, and making her pregnant. We have had some very cold nights, and there she lay, out here in (t1 the cold, giving birth, tangled in the oDA cable. I am sick- MVEs ened by the images. I am sick that her owner would allow this to hap- pen. We commend Chief Odem for taking a strong stand against animal cruelty in his town of Center Hill. "This will not be tolerated," he said. Supervisor of Animal Control John Hezlep said, "It will make you cry, it is so bad." Life at the end of a chain is no life at all. Life at the end of this cable is a slow agonizing death. As of this writing, I don't know what the outcome will be for the dog and her puppies; their physical condition is so horrific. Criminal charges must be pressed against the owner but what punishment could possi- bly be called justice. Fines are not enough. Jail time is not enough. The Humane Society/SPCE of Sumter County is offering a reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who is responsible for this act of cruelty. As I lay in bed, unable to sleep, my dogs were snuggled contentedly in their beds, and two were curled up under the covers by my side. It occurred to me that it is the luck of the draw on who a dog's owner will be. Whether the dog is treated with love and kind- ness, or treated cruelly, they have no choices but are at the mercy of our hands. My thoughts above were written several weeks ago when the dog was first found. I am happy to report that Amazing Gracie, as we have named her, has miraculously, survived along with her pup- pies. After spending a week at Jumper Creek Veterinarian Clinic, the canine family is now at Animal Control where they are being fed and cared for. Soon they will move to a Humane Society/SPCA foster home to recover and prepare to be adopted. The Humane Society/SPCA has a special fund specifically for abused and injured ani- mals. It is called the "Hope Fund," and donations marked for that fund help us give hope and care to these innocent vic- tims. Please remember the animals this holiday season with a donation to the Humane Society/SPCA of Sumter County at PO. Box 67, Lake Panasoffkee, FL 33538. Mark your check for the "Hope Fund" to help Amazing Gracie and her nine puppies. And don't forget to continue bringing blankets for the dogs at animal control on those cold nights. Bring blankets to Prosthetics Research in Bushnell, or to Animal Control. Sumter Health Department plans Step Up, Florida! The Florida Department of health announces the third year of "Step Up, Florida - On Our Way To Healthy Living!" It is a statewide event to be held on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2006 to promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles in Summer County.

Counties throughout Florida will join with state agencies, non-profits and community organizations. to highlight the variety of activi- ties Florida offers for physi- cal wellbeing. Step Up, Florida! provides communities with the chance to showcase the many options available for fitness, such as visiting parks and beaches, enjoying Florida's many trails, biking, skating, walking or jogging.

Greenwood, a school resource deputy, is a respected and valued member of SSMS who has the admiration of all those he serves, according to Linda Farmer, a teacher at SSMS. Greenwood not only serves in his daily capacity as SSMS resource deputy, but also teaches after-school classes to at-risk students in the areas of anti-violence and substance abuse preven- tion. He uses a research-based curriculum, teaching strate- gies he gained through School Resource D e p u t y Training, and his understand- ing of the devel- Greenw only senr daily cai SSMS r deputy, I teaches school cI at-risk s opmental needs of children. According to Farmer, Steve Doggett, assistant principal who charged with student dis- cipline, works closely ,with Greenwood and depends a great deal on his expertise in the area of school law. Interactions in the context of student discipline can often be volatile and challenging, but Greenwood is able to diffuse angry situations and turn them into opportunities for produc- tive work on behavior. The school receptionist, Janet Johnson, who interacts with Deputy Greenwood on a daily basis states, "He is so pleasant to work with and so helpful to students and staff. He takes even the smallest problem seriously and helps to solve it promptly." SSMS has an Accelerated Reader incentive plan where students are rewarded for reading and earn points by successfully mastering con- cepts and skills from that read- ing. As a component of the reward system, administrators will agree to do ood not things to amuse 'es in his students when they reach a cer- )acity as tain level of source points school but also wide. For example, s after- the assistant lasses to principal students shaved his head tuclents when students achieved 10,000 Accelerated Reader points. Last year, Deputy Greenwood wanted to help the cause, so he agreed to roller-blade around campus if students reached a certain level by a given date. They did, and so did he, tak- ing leave of duty to for the event In an effort to build positive relations with our parents and community Greenwood creat- ed his own link on our school website. His link can be found a t http://www.sumter.kl2.fl.us/Sc hools/ssm/Teams%20and%20S taff/greenwood.htm. Josh Greenwood On this site, he shares his goals as a resource deputy and provides information about his training and experience to build community confidence. Deputy Greenwood is a high- ly trained Sumter County Deputy Sheriff, certified not only as a school resource deputy, but also in the areas of Human Diversity and Domestic Violence, First Responder, and Firefighter Standards. He is a member of the Webster Volunteer Fire Department and attends the Linden Baptist Church with his wife, Brenda, and their 5- year old son, J.D. Highly prized throughoutL Florida and widely below\ ed as a symbol of'the Christmas sea- son is the Poinsettia No other flower can make such ai bril- liant sho\\ oft bright red throughoilt the festive weeks of December and January. The poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherrima, is a member of the spurge family, which includes common ornamen- tals like crown-of-thorns, cooper-leaf, castorbean and Florida's colorful crotons. The poinsettia, was intro- duced to the United States by our first ambassador to Mexico, Joel Roberts Poinsett. He had some sent to his home in Greenville, South Carolina in 1825, and this lovely Christmas flower has since borne his name. An interesting point about poinsettias is their "flowers." The true flowers are small, green and yellow and incon- spicuous. The showy red parts, often called flowers, are not parts of the flower; instead, they are highly modi- fied petal-like leaves, which the botanist calls bracts. The bracts are formed below each flower. Since the purchase of poin- settia is a once-a-year thing for most people, several sug- gestions on proper plant selection are in order. Select a plant that has green foliage nearly to the soil line. Old plants will usually have experienced excessive leave drop. The bracts should be large and extended over the lower green foliage. The most popu- lar color in poicnsettllla is red Ho e\er the-re are lntii-meroLls shade- of whites. pinks and c-olor r olibinlfations Select onl\ plants w, ith small teiht ?eleni button-like flo wer pail in ithe ienterii of the bracts. These little buttons will eventually develop into open flowers. If the poinsettia is already producing pollen, you can be assured that a por- tion of its useful display life has already passed and the bracts will begin to fade. Poinsettias are predomi- nately greenhouse grown as pot plants for Christmas in most of the United States, but in South Florida, and some- what here, they can be uti- lized as colorful landscape shrubs. In North Florida they may be frozen to the ground before flowering, so are best used as potted plants. Poinsettias make beautiful houseplants. If the new vari- eties are properly watered and placed in a cool, sunny, draft free area, the bracts will remain lovely for one to two months. Contrary to popular belief, the poinsettia is not poison- ous. A Florida Friendly Landscaping Series is pre- sented by Wendel Martinkovic and Martin Grum in Oxford on Dec. 8 from 1 to 2:30 pm.

The commissioners change of direction began a couple of weeks earlier when County Construction Manager Richard Mason advised the board of the estimated cost to renovate the shopping center space for county use. Since then, Long prepared a variety of options that the county could pursue for the space, varying from a very scaled-down project of slight- ly more than $1.7 million to the full package for slightly more than $3.6 million. The latter included re-roof- ing, interior asbestos removal, and a renovation of all of the former supermarket space. Long also prepared a pro- posal for the county to add a two-story building on the Bushnell county government complex. It was an option that Commission Chairman Joey Chandler supported. But, he also expressed con- cerns about the time it would take to get a new building ready for occupancy Long said it could be done within 12 to 14 months. Hoffman said he was amenable to putting $2.5 mil- lion into something that the county would own, not lease. Commissioner Michael Francis suggested that the county do the single-story building because the county would be able to have the money this year and wouldn't have to do a bond issue for that project. County staffers reported that the county possessed about $600,000 in state funds that could be used for that project. Chandler still wanted to make it a two-story building that could also house the Sheriff's Department. But, Mason said that there was a concept to put a walkway over the proposed single story building that would connect a second-floor sheriff's office in the planned three-story build- ing to the existing judicial building. But, Francis's suggestion prevailed. "This gets us started, we can pay for it and it solves the problem," Francis said. "We need to start driving nails somewhere," Mason said. Chandler did praise his fel- low commissioners for keep- ing a tight reign on the proj- ects. "We need to separate needs from wants," he said. In other business: Robbie Rogers, county director of development serv- ices, told the board that the public hearing for anA.C.M.S., Inc., application to modify it's existing landfill permit to a Class III landfill will be re advertised at a later date. The hearing had been on continuance for some weeks. Rogers noted that there is period of time when there is an exchange of information between her department and the applicant in order to com- plete the application. When it is completed, new public notices will be issued, she said. Starting in January, the commission will meet in the Villages on the fourth Tuesday of each month. Commissioners unanimous- ly agreed to make the change after sporadic discussions of diversifying the location began about a year ago. It is the culmination of an effort by Francis that began shortly after he took office. Commissioner did not have a specific address, but the location is the Lincoln Theater in Laurel Manor. It's on County Road 466 in the Villages. County Attorney Randall Thornton said that notices would be published with the specific address. County Commissioner Randy Mask obtained com- mission approval for a resolu- tion supporting a proposed Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission project to "clean out" Gant Lake. The project location is just a few miles southwest of Webster. While no specifics of what the project will involve were discussed, Mask said it is a joint project of the state wildlife agency and the Southwest Florida Water Management District. It won't cost the county, Mask said. Commissioners scheduled a special meeting for 4 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 29, to consider re-districting. Thornton said Hoffman was planning on being away dur- ing that time, but wanted to participate by speakerphone. He noted that it is legal to do so. Bears are looking to fatten up; local residents shouldn't help Backyard bear sightings have increased throughout the state in recent years and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) said today residents should not lay out the welcome mat for the big furry critters. In the fall, bears search for fallen acorns as they try to gain weight before winter, which often brings them into neigh- borhoods. Though bears have a natural fear of people, "They can smell food from more than a mile away," said Stephanie Simek, Bear Program coordinator with the FWC. "If they are rewarded with an easy meal, they learn quickly to return to the scene." FWC wildlife biologists recently had to capture and relocate three bears These easy meals include unsecured garbage cans, bird feeders and a pet's food left on the back porch. "Bears are very intelligent and extremely resourceful," Simek added. "They will want to stay if they find an available and abundant food source." Residents can avoid unpleasant bear encounters by taking some simple steps to ensure that living in bear country is a safe and enjoyable experience. What you can do: Remember, feeding bears is against the law. Store all food, garbage and compost in secure areas. Temporarily remove wildlife feeders if there are bears in the area. While Florida black bears never have attacked anyone in Florida, Simek said people should give bears ample space and never attempt to disturb, pet or feed them. '"A bear that stays in an area for long periods often reflects more of a people problem than a bear problem," Simek said. FWC wildlife biologists recently had to capture and relocate three bears from Franklin and Bay counties - the biggest was a near-record 500-pound male. These bears were feeding in unsecured garbage bins at a restaurant and school. FWC biologists tagged and relocated the bears to the Apalachicola National Forest So far this year, the FWC received more than 1,300 calls to report bears, including sightings and roadkills.

Other than possi- bly at a church, probably more lose friends have been made and lost S at hunting camps - ,than any other " place I can think of :right off the bat. SOver the years, sadly, I -have seen many long time | . good friends fall 'out with each other JAOutdoo 3ig time over sim- - .ple or trivial things 'at a hunt camp that 'at the moment in time and even on down the road didn't really amount to a hill of beans. :- Much too often a misspo- ken or misunderstood word or some minor incident tak- ing place at the wrong moment has destroyed rela- tionships that had been great for generations and had been enjoyed and treasured by r I-g -Outdoois uy ADAMS. .-. special p..... etiquette at the deer camp.. special camp etiquette at the deer camp both sides. A hunting camp is sup- posed to be a place where good wholesome fun takes place and just like in a strong and active church long lasting broth- erhoods are devel- oped. However much too often mean-minded, sneaky snakes also known as envy, greed, distrust, jealousy, and self- ADAMS ish pride manage Writer to slip in the back- door and then big problems are bound to take place. Most hunting camps I have been a part of or a guest at have long standing camp rules that have been adopted over time and most are in conjunction with the local game and fish laws. There also are many neces- sary rules in most hunting camps, which reflect the individual customs as to the likes and dislikes of the mem- bers who originally set up the hunting camp in the first place. When these self-made rules are complied with, the hunting camp will almost always operate in harmony. Along with the normal camp rules there is some common sense unwritten rules of hunting etiquette that a seri- ous hunter can live by that will go a long way in insuring that the individual hunter will always be welcome at any hunt camp. Invariably, a guest or mem- ber is going to kill a deer or some other game animal. If this happens it is the custom at a lot of hunt camps to share the meat. , It is a good rule of thumb anywhere you might be hunt- ing to always offer a portion of your kill to be eaten at camp or offered to be shared with other less fortunate hunters to take home. I know of nothing any- where or anyplace that will get a hunter a bad name around camp than to kill an animal and not share, at least offer to the share, the bounty. It does not matter if there has been a lot of deer killed or not in the camp, the small gesture of wanting to share your kill goes a long way. Another thing that is frowned on and a lot of camps is the inconsiderate hunter who does not pay his fair share in camp expenses. Way too many times I have seen hunters show up week- end after weekend and eat like a full grown hog and if he leaves any money on the table to cover camp costs at all it is very little. All hunt camps in these days in time are expensive to operate and most especially if a large crowd of hungry hunters is being fed good meals several times a day. It is one thing if a hunter is down and out and little short on cash for the time being but if a hunter is ok financially he should not. have to be asked to kick in his fair share of money for the food and camp upkeep. Camp chores are also very important. There is a multitude of camp chores that must be taken care or a regular basis if the camp is to remain in good repair and a decent place to stay in and my good friends it is only right for all of the physically able mem- bers to put in time taking care of the camp. As far as day-to-day opera- tions of the camp goes all members are expected to do a fair share of the routine daily chores. Dish washing is one of the big hang ups and in, a lot of camps I have been a part of this mundane and extremely necessary chore is way to often frowned on as being on the unmanly-side. However, my feeling is if you can eat and enjoy the grub, then old buddy you ain't too good to wash a few dishes from time to time. Whether you do so back at home or not is not important but washing them at the camp is. The camp cook should not have to prepare a meal then clean up the kitchen. A good hint to any guest visiting a hunt camp is pitch in and wash a few dishes and you can best believe this small gesture will be noted and go a mighty long way on getting a return invitation. A guest will be smart to take due notice of the all the goings on around a hunt camp and if he sees anything he or she can help out with it will be appreciated and per- haps pay huge dividends sometimes on down the road. .Respect for your fellow hunter is always a matter of concern. If you know a fellow hunter likes to hunt a certain way in a special place then by all means respect his or her wishes. The hunting woods are a special privilege for us to enjoy and absolutely nothing is worse in a hunting camp than dissention but if we all respect and help each other the hunt camp is the place to be. Butterfly project launched locally Sumter County 4-H is par-. ticipating in the pilot program WINGS which is a partner- ship program between the University of Florida and the Natural History Museum/Butterfly Rainforest. ' The WINGS program focus- es on materials .and studies to educate youth about butter- flies and butterfly gardening While collecting research information. ' This project is being piloted in counties throughout Florida and will be intro- duced through the Florida 4- H curriculum this summer. Plans are to introduce the materials through the 4-H Program curriculum through- put the United States and international programs. Sumter County 4-H program is on the leading edge of an outstanding and educational opportunity for youth. 4-H Club Leaders Kathy Demaree and Ann Caraway along. with 4-H Agent Martha Maddox attended in service training for the WINGS pro- gram.

Ann Caraway, a Sumter County master gardener, vol- unteered to organize a 4-H Butterfly Club at the Sumter Youth Center. Youth at the B B center are getting the WINGS curriculum and hands-on experience with caterpillars, butterflies and the plants that attract them. This project coordinates well with the Master Gardener gardening project that is located at the Sumter Youth Center on C.R. 48 in Bushnell.
