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

BOB REICHMAN

It's been a month since
Center Hill Police Chief
Roger Odom found the mal-
nourished and abused mixed-
breed dog now called
Amazing Gracie.
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. "They can
call in and leave a message

MARTIN STEELE
Times Correspondent

Sumter County
Commissioners on Tuesday
abandoned plans to lease
space in a Bushnell shopping
center for county offices.
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.
The board unanimously

"It was pretty horrific,"
crueltyly investigator Sheri
J.Evans, said of the dog's con-
edition when she was found.
"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."

180 days school days or an
equivalent number of hours.
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.

Elaborate marijuana operation found


*


BOB REICHMAN
AND AMANDA MIMS
Law enforcement officers
arrested two Sumter County
residents last week after dis-
iovering an elaborate system
for growing marijuana in a
secret room in a building
beside a Bushnell house.
; Officers discovered 69
plants ranging from four
inches to three feet in height
in the room on Tuesday. Nov.
22; according to a sheriff's
office press released.
Thomas Tuller, 36, was
arrested for manufacturing
marijuana, possession of
marijuana with intent to sell,
possession of a controlled
substance, and possession of
drug paraphernalia. Bond
was set at $75,500:
I Also arrested was Rhonda
Marie Elchelberger, 23, for.
possession of marijuana with
intent to sell, possession of a
controlled substance, and.
possession of drug parapher-
nalia. 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.


Officers discovered 69 plants ranging from four inches to three feet in height in the room on Tuesday, Nov. 22.

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."

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.

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.

Senior ADVOCATE


What is deducted from out-of-pocket amount?


SHealth care is complicated.
We acknowledge that. Lots of
things in life are complicated:
filling out a tax return, registering
your car, getting cable
television. It is going to
take time for seniors to
become comfortable
with the drug benefit."
Current Health
Human Services (HHS)
secretary, formerly with
the Environmental
Protection Agency -:
(EPA), former governor ,,
of Utah and lifelong
insurance broker, Dj
Michael 0. 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.
Next week, nothing but insur-
ance language as it pertains to
Part D products, a simple glos-
sary, so to speak

will talk to you next week

Jumbled thoughts f'md grace


This week I've had so
many jumbled
thoughts. 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
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.

Wildwood election scheduled for Dec. 6


Florida books available


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

While most of Sumter's
cities will not be holding elec-
tions this year, Wildwood can-
didates are busy campaigning
for the election to be held
Tuesday, Dec. 6 from 7 a.m. to
7 p.m. at Wildwood City Hall.
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-

nally and moved to Wildwood
in 1999.
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.

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. At
that time the-Governing Board
may choose to adopt the MFL
into District rules. Governing
Board meetings are open to the
public where brief oral com-
ments are permitted on meet-
ing agenda items.
Written comments are also
welcome and can be submitted
via mail or e-mail to Lisa
Henningsen, environmental
scientist, no later than Jan. 20.
The addresses are 2379 Broad
Street, Brooksville, FL 34604-
6899 or
Lisa.Henningsen@watermat-
ters.org.
For more information,
please contact Lisa
Henningsen at 796-7211, ext
4268, or 1-800-423-1476, ext.
4268.


Four o'clock Monday
morning, I toss and
turn, haunted by dis-
turbing images. 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.

Greenwood is School-Related


Employee of the Year at SSMS The holiday plant


Deputy Josh Greenwood was
voted Florida School-Related
Employee of the Year at South
Sumter Middle School.
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.

sented by Wendel Martinkovic

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2005, PAGE 13


COUNTY

continued from Page 1

approved Commissioner
Richard Hoffman's motion to
build the single story building
to provide a long-term solu-
tion to years of building prob-
lems that the State Attorneys
office has faced.
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.

ing with bears, visit

Christmas and a Happy New Year" during the next few weeks.
We all appreciate the good wishes from our family and friends
and the words remind us that we can truly make a difference for
many people and help their Christmas to be merrier.


This coming week, we will be taking more applications for
needy families and children and senior citizens who need help
for the holiday. Many of those who are asking for help would not

Volunteer Coordinator allows. Eleanor and I are still moved by the man who said "I
never thought I'd be the one asking for help. I was someone
who always gave to others for Christmas." We have heard many
others say that and we hear it more frequently during this season.
Your donation to the "Empty Stocking Fund" will have a positive impact for families who are in
need. Families like the one.headed by "Joyce." Joyce works hard to supply her three growing
children with food and a home all through the year. With the increased expenses of needing to
buy school supplies and clothing she told us the "Without your help we just world not have a
happy Christmas. Thank you and God bless you." We are humbled to hear those words of thanks
and we gladly pass them along to you, our friends and donors who truly make it possible for Joyce
and other parents to give that extra something to their children on Christmas.
Please remember Marie and her family and the many families like her when you consider
making your donation to The Salvation Army Empty Stocking Fund.
The funds raised through this program will help families, children and SUMTER COUNT'(TIMES
senior citizens in Sumter County. We are inviting you to participate in
this inaugural effort. Below is a coupon you may complete and mail to
The Salvation Army at P.O. Box 25, Bushnell, Florida 33513, along

honor of a family member or friend or a "special someone" or group
that you want to be recognized. In return for your donation you will
have the knowledge that you have made a direct impact on those who
seek help during this blessed time of year. You will also receive a letter ......

Florida Master Gardener course offered


Do you want to learn more
about growing plants? Do you
have an interest in fruits, veg-
etables, ornamentals, lawns
and trees? Do you enjoy help-
ing others? Do you want to
serve your community? If you
answered yes to these ques-
tions, your chance may be just
around the corner.
An environmental horticul-
ture program, called the
Florida Master Gardener
Program, is being offered by
the University of Florida's
Institute of Food and
Agricultural Sciences
(UF/IFAS) and the Sumter
County Cooperative
Extension Service to provide
horticultural training for
selected home gardeners in
Florida.
Florida Master Gardener is


a title given to individuals
who receive 50-hours of in-
depth horticultural training
from University of Florida
faculty and agree, in return,
to give 50-hours of volunteer
service annually helping
their local county extension
program.
Master Gardener training
will be held at the Sumter
County Extension Office in
Bushnell each Wednesday
from Feb. 1 through April 19,
2006. Most training sessions
will run from 9 a.m. until 4
p.m.
Training will include topics
such as basic plant science,
plant identification, veg-
etable gardening, fruit cul-
ture, flowers, woody orna-
mentals, surf management,
pest management and basic


landscaping. Principles of the
Florida Yards &
Neighborhood (FYN)
Program will. be included in
the training.
Master Gardeners give
their volunteer hours to coun-
ty extension offices in many
ways. In Sumter County
Master Gardeners help exten-
sion staff, test soil samples,
volunteer at plant clinics,
work at the youth garden and
attend special events such as,
the Epcot International
Flower and Garden Festival.
Applications for a limited
number of openings in the
class are now being taken in
the county extension office.
The program.is open to any-
one wishing to attend regard-
less of race, color, sex, or
national origin.


As part of the Master
Gardener training, each par-
ticipant has access to one of
the best gardening references
for Florida. It is a compilation
of Extension Service fact
sheets and bulletins that
apply specifically to our
unique climate. The cost for
the class and materials is $95k

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.

is on the leading edge of an
outstanding and educational
opportunity for youth.
4-H Club Leaders Kathy

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.
