Staff Writer

A Sumter County sheriff's
deputy has been placed on
administrative leave after he
was involved in the Nov. 30
shooting death of a 33-year-.
old Royal man.
Deputy Jason Adkison was
dispatched to assist a state
probation officer in the
apprehension of Michael
Anthony Williams, who was
wanted for violating the terms
of his probation, according to
a Florida Department of Law
Enforcement press release.
Williams fled on foot when
Adkison and the probation
officer approached the resi-
dence at 9899 County Road
222. A chase ensued, and
when Adkison caught up with
Williams, he began physically
resisting arrest, according to
the release.
\Williams "ran into, a wood-
ed area just east of Interstate
75...Adkison continued after
tife subject into the wooded
area and the subject began to
violently resist arrest,"
according to a Sheriff's Office
press release. "During this
violent struggle, Deputy
SheriffAdkison fired one shot
striking the suspect in the
chest."
Williams was pronounced
dead at the scene by emer-
gency management person-
nel.
Capt. Gary Brannen of the
Sumter Sheriff's Office said
Adkison will be paid while on
administrative leave, and that
the only disciplinary action
he has received while work-
ing as a deputy is "one minor
letter of reprimand regard i ng
a department motor vehicle
accident."
The incident is under
investigation by agents
assigned to the FDLE
Brooksville Field Office and

The state attorney's office
has found no evidence of
criininal actions of former
Sumter County officials in
two of three areas of an inves-
tigation that has been ongoing
since last July.
Assistant State Attorney
Wi\\lliam Catto investigated
allegations of wrongdoing by
previous County
Commissioners Billy "Tiny"
Ruttter. Robin Cox, and Benny
Strickland, of officials regard-
ing the county's purchase of a
trash digester, and of Rutter's
and Cox's use of county cellu-
lar telephones.
The third point of the inves-
tication, which involves the
building and improvement of
a road. is still being reviewed.
The investigation was
spurred on by a committee of
concerned citizens headed by
Bushnell resident Nathan
C(reach and former Sheriff

The County Commission's
decision to rehear a land use
change request by Rinker
Materials to expand its
Center Hill mining operation
has.resulted in a lawsuit
The lawsuit was filed
Monday by Louise Racine
and John Megan, a Center
Hill couple who has been
actively involved in fighting
the proposed expansion near
their home. The couple is
hoping the lawsuit will pre-
vent the County Commission
from rehearing the case.
The lawsuit challenges the
County Commission's Nov. 8
decision to reconsider
Rinker's land use request.
That request is scheduled for
reconsideration at the Dec. 20
County Commission meeting.
In October, in a 4-to-1 vote,
the County Commission
denied Rinker a change of
use permit to expand its min-
ing operation on an approxi-
mately 395-acre tract to the
west of its existing mine. At
that time, only Commissioner
Joey Chandler supported
Rinker's request.

roads, searched with canines
and scanned from helicopters
in the 500-acres of swamp and
marsh, thick with uilderbrusl
and palmetto. They originally
believed the Reddick migh'
be contained to a three-mile
radius. They searched the
area from the time he escaped
Monday afternoon until the
truck was discovered missing
at about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Sumter sheriff's Capt
Garry Brannen said Reddick
probably managed to cross
the road on Monday night dur
ing a heavy rain that hindered
visibility.
Brannen said the truck was
last seen at 9 p.m. on Monday
Typically, shop employees use
the truck during the day
arriving at 7 a.m., but when
they arrived on Tuesday and
the truck was gone, they
assumed the owner had it.
At that point the owner
asked where the truck was
They contacted authorities
and as they began looking
around, they also realize
that a pair of rubber boots and
a set of bolt cutters were miss
ing.
Adding the three together
it's only logical to assume thai
Reddick managed to make it
across the road to the shop
and flee in the truck, accord
ing to Brannen.
"We don't. have any reason
to .believe he's around here,'
he said.

after hours of listening tc
explanations and testimony
presented by both mine rep-
resentatives and supporters
and residents opposed to the
expansion.
S Following that denial, ir
November, Rinker requested
that the board reconsider its
application based on a provi-
sion in county codes thai
allows applicants to file for
reconsideration "where the
staff and all advisory boards
as appropriate have recom
Smended approval."
m At that meeting, in a 3-to-2
vote, commissioners Randy

Reddick escaped from an
extradition service van on
Monday, while he was being
transported with six other
prisoners. The van broke
down and stopped at the
s Mobil convenience store off
s Interstate 75.
Knee said a surveillance
a video from the store showed
y Reddick wearing the blue uni-
t form on Monday.
The van was stopped for
about an hour before Reddick
fled, but local authorities
were not notified of the
g mechanical trouble before he
escaped, Knee said. He was
. wearing handcuffs but
k restraints on his ankles were
s removed so he could move on
- and off the van.
"The prison guard's atten-
tion was diverted, and he
s (Reddick) walked off," Knee
. said.
a The sheriff's office also
, sent out reverse 911 messages
1 to all homes in a three-mile
I radius on Monday afternoon.
During the search, law
enforcement .went door-to-
r door searching homes, cars
. and sheds.
s "The people have been
g more than accommodating,"
I Knee said.
Reddick is described as a
- black male, 5 feet 5 inches tall,
and 160 pounds, last seen
, wearing a blue jumpsuit. The
t truck is described as a 2000
t Ford F350 with dual wheels
and a king cab.

Megan and Racine, along

In particular, they are con-

Creach placed an advertise-

In a memorandum dated

involved in the process of
building the digester or acting
as consultants regarding the
process, and. whether any
grant monies were misused,
among other items.
Regarding allegations of an
improper relationship
between county staff mem-
bers and consultants who
worked on the digester proj-
ect, Catto investigated former
Director of Public Works
Garry Breeden's relationships
with two consultants for the
county and determined that
there was no wrongdoing in
either case.
Catto noted that he found no
evidence of any crime regard-,
ing the other issues concern-
ing the digester.
About these issues, Catto
wrote "neither negligence nor
incompetence are criminal
unless some physical or finan-
cial harm occur," and, "In the
absence of any such evidence,
it is my recommendation that
this investigation be closed
and its findings released for
appropriate public disclo-
sure."
Though Catto reported
there were no criminal find-
ings in the investigation, "this
determination does not in any
way reach issues of whether
there were any civil wrongs or
negligent or incompetent acts


committed by any party or
entity during the process ref-
erenced in this investigation."
About the cellular tele-.
phone issue, Catto wrote Cox
and Rutter freely admitted
using county cellular tele-
phones for personal business,
including Rutter's calls to
Acapulco, Mexico and
Toronto, Canada, but Rutter
indicated he reimbursed the
county for some of the calls.
"The county finance direc-
tor indicated to me that there
were reimbursements made
by Rutter although the num-
bers do not correspond to
those, on the cell phone cer-
tificates," Catto wrote.
Cox said calls he made to
his father in Alabama were
both personal and business-
related, saying he sometimes
called for advice on county
business, according to Catto's
memorandum.
During the investigation,
both Cox and Rutter were
interiewed, and cellulartele-
phone records were obtained
by the state attorney's office.
Catto wrote commissioners
signed an agreement every
month indicating the tele-
phones were necessary to
conduct county business, but
weren't required to certify
telephones were used for
county business only.


"My recommendation is
that Sumter County must
develop a clear policy on cell
phone usage, if it has not
already done so. Each person
with a phone must be subject
to the same rules, with the
same allowances. With that, a
review of the records will eas-
ily show whether anyone has
violated the rules or the law,"
Catto wrote.
Neither Rutter nor
Strickland sought re-election
in 2004. Current
Commissioner .Randy Mask
defeated Cox during last year'
election.

Rinker Materials open house draws crowd


On Saturday, Nov. 19, nearly
350 guests visited Rinker
Materials' Center Hill Quarry
for its open house. Quarry
tours, children's activities,
and equipment exhibitions
were some of the day's activi-
ties.
To make the day a dual-pur-
pose event, Rinker Materials
donated $5,000.00 to the South
Sumter High School Band in
exchange for their members
and parent volunteers to pro-
vide the catering for the day,
which included all the ham-
burgers, hot dogs and ice
cream you could eat.
Rinker Materials' officials
say they wanted to demon-
strate ho%% aggregates impact
the public's everyday Iifestyle.
"Hosting an open house pro-
vides several great opportuni-
ties for us. We get to show off
our facility, increase the pub-
lic's knowledge about the
importance of our industry.
and meet a lot of our neigh-
bors and community mem-

The Sumter County
Sheriff's Office is hoping that
four missing morphine patch-
es will be recovered in con-
nection with the death of a 15-
year-old Lake Panasoffkee
boy.
David. Draper was found
dead by family members in
his bedroom about 9:20 p.m.
on Sunday, Dec. 4, according
to a sheriff's office report.
Draper had a 25-milligram
morphine patch attached to
his chest that investigators
believe caused the boy's
death, according to the
report. An autopsy has been
conducted but the results
aren't likely to be known
immediately, according to
sheriff's Capt. Gary Brannen.
Brannen did say that no other
factors are believed to have
contributed to the boy's
death.
The patch was one of ten
patches that were lawfully
prescribed to a family mem-
ber in the home, according to
the report. Four of the patch-
es are missing and investiga-
tors are concerned that the
boy may have been given
them to other children in the
community.
Draper did not attend
school, Brannen said. He was
being home schooled.
Brannen said he is hopeful
that the remaining patches
will be recovered because
they are considered to be
potentially lethal. '
Anyone with information
regarding these morphine
patches should contact the
Sumteir County Sheriff's
Office at (352) 793-2621 or
CrimeLine at (800) 423-TIPS.

Two arrested

in drug bust

AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer:

A two-week investigation by
the Sumter Sheriff's Office
Special Investigations Squad
led to the arrests of two
Wildwood residents on Nov.
30.
Jennifer
Nieves, 18, and
Tony Solomon,
32, were arrest-
ed when law
enforcement

searched their J
residence at Solomon
3720 County
Road 230.
Solomon, was
arrested for sale
of cocaine with-
in 1,000 feet of a
place of wor-
ship, three
counts of pos-
session of
cocaine with Nieves
intent to sell within 1,000 feet
of a -place of worship, four
counts of child neglect, two
counts of possession of a
firearm by a convicted felon,
tampering with evidence,
possession of drug parapher-
nalia, possession of marijua-
na with intent to sell, and
dealing in stolen property.
Bond was set at $230,500.
Nieves was charged with
possession of drug parapher-
nalia, four counts of child
neglect, possession of cocaine
with intent to sell within 1,000
feet of a place of worship, and
possession of marijuana with
intent to sell within 1,000 feet
of a place of worship. Bond
was set at $60,500.
Solomon has "a lengthy
criminal history," said Capt.
Gary Brannen of the Sumter
Sheriff's Office. Brannen said
they "have an idea" of where
Solomon and Nieves were
obtaining the drugs.
The two were brought to the
Sumter County Detention
Center at 5:20 last Wednesday,
according to the arrest
record.
Four children in the home
at the time of the search were
in the custody of the
Department of Children and
Families following the


arrests, Brannen said.

No need to be naughty


when you can be nice


If you haven't caught the holi-
day spirit yet don't think the
season has passed you by it's
just the beginning and while this
list doesn't include everything,
there's plenty to do in Sumter
County.
This weekend, it's time for the
annual Wildwood Christmas
Parade. Set for 10 a.m. and it's a
great chance for kidsto see Santa.
That same day, the ladies at St.
Lawrence Catholic Church in
Bushnell are hosting a Christmas
craft sale, flea market and bake
sale from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. so you
can shop, shop, shop.
There are even two days of
musical performances as mem-
bers of First Baptist Church of
Wildwood presents Journey to the
Manger this weekend. One is set
for Saturday night at 6 p.m. and
one Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m.
There's a Christmas cantata at
Lake PanasoTffkee United
Methodist on Sunday, Dec. 11 at 7
p.m: "
The following Saturday, kids can
have breakfast with Santa at the
Wildwood United Methodist
Church. The breakfast is set for 9
a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 17, but you
need to have reservations, so call
ahead at 748-1275 and leave a
message with information.
Theyay want to pop over to
Bushnell or Webster for a visit
with Santa later.:
He'll drop in at Bushnell at the
South Sumter High School
Christmas tree at 6 p.m. that night
and he's also expected at
Webster's annual Lighted Night
Parade. The parade .starts at 6
p.m. and the city offers a visit with
Santa, live entertainment,


refreshments and good ies.
Catching a taste of what the hol-
iday is dedicated to is also on the
agenda, as The First Baptist
Church of Bushnell. the First
Baptist Church of Coleman and&
the Coleman Assembly of God host
living nativities.
Bushnell will host theirs from
6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and
Sunday, Dec. 17 and 18 and the
two Coleman churches are com-
bining efforts to make the presen-
tation at the Assembly of God at
5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 17.
They will offer two presentations.
There'll be Christmas caroling
in the community at 7 p.m. nightly
from Dec. 12- 15 and settling
around the campfire on Friday
night, Dec. 16 at the Lake
Panasoffkee Methodist and the
main youth program at Faith
Baptist Church in Webster at 6
p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 18.

ices will be held at 7 p.m. at both

held throughout the counties.
And Faith Baptist is offering an
option for New Year's inviting
folks to join them for Kick-Off

So find the spirit and celebrate
the season!
And just think, along with hav-
ing a great time, things could go
pretty good with Santa this year,
after you complete this month's
calendar. No more worries about
that list and being naughty
because all that fun is just about
guaranteed to leave you feeling'
pretty "nice.'


Fan of SSHS
football
I just wanted to thankyou torthe sup-
port of South Sumter football and doing
stories that I can remain informed
,regarding the football program. My
family and I have not lived in Bushnell
in the past six years, but I still remain a
big fan and very proud of the success
the program has experienced.
I also have to voice my displeasure
(and I am sure I am not the only person)
in the FHSAA allowing private schools
to compete on the same level as public
schools. Fortunately, South Sumter is
blessed with a fantastic coach, great
support from the community, and sev-
eral talented athletes in the area. But, it
is obviously no fluke that/the path for
South Sumnter had to go through the
Bolles School (private) and of course
Hollywood Chaminade.
We all know that the private schools
are able to recruit or "cherry-pick"
their players and the public schools
simply have to play with the cards dealt
them. Again, the rules of fair play and
competition need to be reviewed by the
FHSAA and I would encourage every-
one to voice their displeasure to the
FHSAA. .
In closing, I again don't want to take
away from the fact that Coach Sherman
his staff and players should be extreme-
ly proud in their accomplishments and
I will continue to be a supporter bf
Raider football.

Citizens can-
make a difference
The proposal to create a 280-acre
class I (household garbage) landfill
12 stories high in Sumter County has
been put on the back burner until an
undetermined time.
This was due, in part, to the work
of a citizens group, Citizens For
Clean Air And Water, and the infor-
mation brought to the attention of
the Board of County Commissioners.
SACMS is the company that had
intended to place the large landfill
near a residential area and just 1.2
miles from the south end of Lake
Panasoffkee.
ACMS also intended to import
garbage from other counties.
One of the concerns of the citizens
group was that regulations allow the
base of the landfill to be within four
feet of the aquifer.
Any leeching from the pit could
seriously compromise the quality of
the water running through the
aquifer.
Another concern was that the land-
fill was to be located on property that
naturally drains toward Lake
Panasoffkee.
Lake Panasoffkee is already
endangered and is being restored at
a cost of 26 million dollars to the tax-
payers.
Concerned Citizens can make a
difference.

Pleased with

We are very pleased with our
Sheriff Bill Farmers notification of
residents in the area of an escaped
convict or any other potential
breach of safety that occurs in a
given area.
We feel much safer by knowing
the dangers we face, particularly in
these uncertain times.
A convict escaped in the vicinity
of 1-75 and S.R. 44 today Monday*

call on both telephones to be alert!

South Sumter
Raiders are #1
I am very proud of the Raiders
football team, and the coaching
staff, for a job well done, to finish
the season the way they did, by
going for the state championship.
Even though the Raiders didn't
win, the fact remains that we were
there. After going to the state play-
off game, which I never had been
to, it was great. Yelling and beirig'a
Raider supporter, was great.
There were a lot of people that
supported the-Raiders, but we all
know that someone wins' and some-
one has to lose, but South Sumter
Raiders are still considered to be
champs in the eyes of the support-
ers for getting as far as they did.


I must say that the parade was a
great idea. I was glad for the oppor-
tunity to share in the excitement
with the team.
God's blessings to all the seniors
in whatever your goals are.
"Thumbs up to you, seniors who
are going on to college level foot-
ball. For those that are not seniors,
see you next season."
Let's look forward to another suc-
cessful year oI" football, and more
exciting games. Hold your heads up
guys, you done a good job. "South
Sumter's 2005 football team is
champss"

Operation Yellow
Bow appreciated
While chatting online with my
son the other day, I got a "Hey,
Mom. I got three boxes of stuff from
Operation Yellow Bow from
Bushnell! What is that?" He pro-
ceeded to tell me what all was sent
to him by Operation Yellow Bow,
.and that he had shared with the
other guys. He even got a blanket,:
sheets, and a pillow But of course,
loved the trailmix and could I send-
him some more of that, along with
some Crystal Light Gatorade Mix.
I saw the article in the Sumter
County Times on Nov. 10 about
Operation Yellow Bow, and I met
the two ladies, Char Lautzenhiser


and Su Gerheim, at Wal-Mart and
bought several bows. They wanted
to know my son's address, and
promptly sent him the boxes. I just
wanted to let everyone know what a
wonderful thing this is for our
troops and especially how grateful
my son was for everything that was
sent.
My son is stationed in Iraq with
the 101st Airborne. He has been in
the Army for 11 years and plans to
make it his career. He graduated
from Plant City High School, but we
have been living in Sumter County
now for the past six years. He is a
Staff Sergeant, and right now he is
living in a converted van with two
other soldiers. He works from 12 to
16 hours on Chinook Helicopters,
so does not have much time to chat
online or do anything else. His
wife, who is pregnant, and his six-
year-old daughter live :in
Clarksville, Tenn. :
I am getting a Christmas box
ready for him, and know that the
cost of mailing it will be tremen-
dous. So. please support these
ladies in their efforts to get sup-
plies to our local troops. Wouldn't it
be wonderful if every business on
Main Street in Bushnell and
Webster had a yellow bow to uhow
everyone that we support .our
boysgirls that are currently serving
overseas?

Words to know before tackling Part D of Medicare


Part D is an insurance policy;
it is purchased from an insur-
ance company, pure and sim-
ple. Although the government cre-
ated the guidelines of
the plan and pays the.
insurer about three
times the amount that
you pay, insurers are to
follow the minimum
rules or their actuarial
equivalent.
Here are some terms
you need to understand.
These terms niay not be
included in all plans.
Insurer: The insur- D
ance companies that you
will purchase your pre-
scription drug plan
from.
Formulary: A listing of the drugs
covered by your insurance plan.
Co-brand: Many insurance com-
panies are using the plans of major
health-specific insurers. So, this
term just means other entities or
companies that. market the same
plan.
Co-pay: The fixed dollar amount
that that you will pay for a pre-
scription. Example: $10 per a sup-
ply of a prescription.
Co-insurance: Your share of the
cost of a prescription, expres-
sioned as a percentage of cost.
Example: 32 percent per prescrip-
tion.
Supplies of prescriptions:
Depending on the insurer, a
monthly supply may be considered
30 or 31 days. A multiple supply
simply will be multiplied by the
allotted number of months of said
supply; the. maximum is usually
three times what is considered
monthly: Example: A three-month
supply of the above co-pay would
be $30; the above co-insurance
would be 32 percent of a three-
month supply.'
Tiers: Tiers are levels of cost for


IA
H


different drugs, depending upon
the insurers formulary. When you
purchase a policy, your monthly
price is indicated; tiers .do not
affect this premium. You
are included in all tiers.
Example: A plan may
offer drugs in tier 1 for
$6 co-pay per monthly
supply Commonly, these
are generic drugs. Tier 2
Drugs may have a co-pay
of $30; these usually are
brand names and some-
times referred to as pre-
ferred brands. Tier 3
drugs might have a co-
,AN pay of $60; these usually
are higher priced brand
names and are some-
times referred to as a
non-preferred brand. Tier 4 might
have a cost of 30 percent co-insur-
ance; these may be referred to as
specialty brands.
Note: Not all plans have four
tiers. Most have fewer. I have seen
as many as five or the insurer may
have created a cost of drug outline
that may be referred to a generic,
preferred brand and non-pre-
ferred brand, and/or specialty,
brand. And others may simply
express your cost of drug levels in
co-insurance percentages. Most
companies work with the tier
method, but not all.
Total out-of-pocket cost: It is dif-
ficult for those buying insurance
policies to comprehend this eate-,
gory, but stay with me and hopeful-
ly it will become clear.
Let us assume that one is
insured to cover the first dollar to a
total of $2,250 of prescription drug
cost. This simply means that your
insurer is paying this total amount,
including the $250 deductible, for a
calendar-year period. What most
people don't understand is that the
total amount of the cost of the pre-
scription is applied to your allotted


amount. Example: Using the above
figures, let us say you have a co-pay
of $10 for drug A, and a co-insur-
ance of 32 percent for drug B. We
shall assume that the retail price of
A is $25 and B is $100. You would
pay $10 for A and $32 for B.
So, how much is deducted from
your total? If you think $42, you
would be wrong. The entire
"retail" cost of the drugs, $125, will
be deducted from your "pool of
money," or $2,250. Some insurers,
but not many will pass their prene-
gotiated pharmacy discounts to
you.
Quantity limits (QL): Many insur-
ers will limit the amount of certain
drugs that will be dispensed.
Prior authorization (PA): Many
insurers will require that certain
drugs need PA, if approval by the
insurer is not accepted, the drug
will not be covered.
Note: Some insurers may
require both PA and QA for certain
drugs. You can always ask for a QL
waiver; n fact, you may request a
drug that is not within the insurers
formulary, key word request.
Preferred pharmacy: Most insur-
ers will include a list of pharma-
cies that they "prefer" you to use.
Non-preferred pharmacy: This is
a list of pharmacies that the insur-
er requests that you do not use. In
fact, if you do, you usually will have,
to pay an additional cost above
your co-payment or co-insurance
amount Some exceptions apply, so
check with your plan.
Note: PPs and NPPs are some-
times referred to as in-network
and out-of network

Your caring support is helping us to assist families like the
"Browns". The Browns are a family of four including mother and
father and two growing children. When Mrs. Brown came to ask
for Christmas help for the children, we werealso able to identify
some other immediate needs and were able to assist with
diapers, baby items, and a pillow. Mr. Brown works hard at a full-
time job and is usually able to meet their daily needs, but the
holidays bring additional concerns, especially regarding the
children. Like most parents, the Browns want their children to
Bill & Eleanor Stewart share in the joy and blessings of the season. We will be
Administrator and assisting them for Christmas with food and other items and the
Volunteer Coordrinator children will become angels on our area Angel Trees.
Volunteer Coordinator This is all possible because of the loving help of our community
supporters. Local support is making it possible for us to help
local families, children, and senior citizens and disabled persons who come to us every day for
help with food, utilities, rent, and other basic necessities We all know that along with the joy and
blessings that the Advent Season and Christmas bring,' it can also bring concerns for having
something special for the Christmas meal or a gift for the children or an unexpected gift for a
senior citizen or disabled person. So far we are planning to assist 136 families and we are still
taking applications. It is only with the help and support of our Sumter County neighbors, friends
and supporters that it will all be possible.


Please remember the Brown 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 senior citizens in Sumter County. We are

"How do I decide which funeral
home to call when the time comes?"

Aside from the requirement that all funeral homes be
licensed by the state, some basic questions you might ask
when selecting a funeral home include: Are they flexible
enough to handle your specific needs? Are decisions made
locally or from an out-of-town corporate office? Are they
full service? Do they sub-contract services such as
cremation or do they provide these options on-site?
Everyone has different priorities and questions about
funeral pre-planning. We invite your questions and we
will respect your priorities. Please call us for a no cost, no
obligation, no pressure appointment to get the facts on
how you can benefit from funeral pre-planning.

Getting crafty at Oaks Campground during the holidays


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Christmas tree ornaments,
knitted garments, and wood-
crafts were just some of the
items up for sale on Saturday
at the annual Oaks
Campground craft show in


Bushnell.
The event has been a tradi-
tion for almost 20 years, and
Oaks Activities Director and
resident Melody Smith esti-
mated 300 people showed up
at the recreation building to
buy, browse, and eat by late
morning.
People could be seen
ambling along rows of an esti-
mated 25 vendors and perus-
ing varied items.
Others sat down, sipping
coffee and eat ing breakfast.
"'We've got a lot of new ven-
dors this yeai;" Smith said.
"Everyone seems pretty
pleased with it."
Though the event started
out as a show with mainly
resident vendors, it's grown
to attract new faces every
year:
Smith said only about half


of the crafters Saturday live
at the Oaks.
Two of those flew vendors
were 25-year-olds Tracy
Gandy of Ocala and Cheryl
Preyer of Bushnell.
Gandy said this was not
only her first time at the
Oaks, but the first craft show
in which she's ever partici-


pated.
She was offering some
unique items- stainless steel
serving spoons adorned with
colorful beads strung with
silver-colored wire.
An orthodontic assistant at
the University of Florida,
Gandy said, "I saw someone
doing this, and I thought it


would be fun."'
At a table beside Gandy,
Preyer was selling hand-
made jewelry and purses.
The Oaks large recreation
hall is home to several events
throughout the year.
There will be another craft
show in February, a ladies
luncheon and fashion show,


and a quilt show in the
spring.
In the middle of December,
the Oaks also puts on a chil-
dren's Christmas party, when
they give gifts to needy pre-
kindergarten students and
two Oaks residents play Mr.
and Mrs. Santa Claus.

Grace NOTES



'Tis the gift to be simple for the holidays


I'm not sure when I
crossed over the line,
only that at some point I
did.
In our family it used to be
that only my husband was the
impossible one to buy gifts
for. Now it seems that I am
too.
It's not that I-
don't .like anything;
I simply don't want
anything, which is
actually a good
problem to have -
to have everything I
want and to be con-
tent with what I
have.
The other day I
was thinking about
the old Sears cata-
log the "Wish MA
Book," as it was KEN
called. As a child, I s,-
couldn't wait until
it came in the mail. My sister
and brothers and I would
fight over it, so we could pore
over it and feed our lust for
stuff.
We would circle the covet-
ed items, put our names by
them and make extensive
lists for our parents, just in
case.they missed our names
on the pages.
I remember pining for a
life-size Babes in Toyland
doll with pink hair, a Beatles
record player, an Easy-Bake
Oven, a Newborn Baby
Thumbelina doll and white
go-go boots just like the
dancers wore on
"Hullabaloo." If it wasn't for
the Sears "Wish Book," I
wouldn't have known that I
even wanted half the stuff I


wanted.
But I don't want anything
anymore, and while that
drives my family nuts, it's
something I feel good about.
Recently, the non-profit
Center for a New American
Dream conducted a poll
about holiday gift-giving.
They discovered
__ that Americans
are concerned not
only about their
personal finances
and the cost of hol-
iday shopping, but
also about core
values and that
more than three in
four Americans
"wished that the
December holi-
NCY days were less
NEDY materialistic."
A,, '-Ir- And yet, nearly
three in five
Americans said they
incurred or acquired credit
card debt shopping last year;
32 percent said it took more
than three months to pay it
off and 14 percent said
they're still paying.
They also found that 74
percent said that the giving
and receiving of gifts are
awarded too much impor-
tance in our society; 76 per-
cent said that kids are too
materialistic (and that the
holiday season makes things
worse) and 37 percent said
they will buy fewer gifts, not
more, this year.
The Jews have a philoso-
phy of "voluntary simplicity,"
which begins with walking
humbly with God. Of their
seven principles of voluntary

simplicity, the second is grat-
itude, as described in the
book "A Guide to Jewish
Practice: Attitudes, Values
and Beliefs" by David
Teutsch.
In it, Teutsch says that the
value of gratitude is "largely
absent from our commercial
culture" and that "realizing
that what we have is a gift,
not an entitlement, is a spiri-
tual discipline."
Contemporary simplicity
philosopher Jerome Segal
advocates making giving
thanks a habit and says one
cannot at the same time offer
thanks and lament what one
does not have.
Stuff itself isn't evil, nei-
ther is wanting it or even buy-
ing it to give to others as gifts,
but there comes a point when


I remember pining

enough is truly enough.
There's an old Shaker song
that goes, '"Tis the gift to be
simple, 'tis the gift to be free,


'tis the gift to come down
where we ought to be, and
when we find ourselves in
the place just right, 'twill be
in the valley of love and
delight."
The Jews believe that sim-
plicity is a spiritual disci-
pline, and I agree.
Sometimes we have to pur-
posefully decide that having
a lot of things and gadgets
and go-go boots and toys is
harmful to our souls. But in
addition to it being a disci-
pline, I would agree with the
Shakers that simplicity is
also a gift from God. That he
so fills our souls with himself
that in his presence there is'
no want.
To be a person who does
not want, while it makes
being the recipient of gifts a
challenge for gift givers, is to
be a person who is abundant-
ly filled.
Sears no longer makes a
"Wish Book" Even if it did,
my wish for you, especially
during the next few weeks,
would be this: that you will
find delight "in the place just
right," and that you will find
the gift from God to be con-
tent and to want no more.

,County's solid waste digester shut down at landfill


AMANDA MIMS
I Staff Writer

Once a state-of-the-art
operation that drew national
interest and acclaim from
environmental authorities,
the digester at Sumter
County Solid Waste has been
shut down recently, part of
the department's transition
from a recycling and com-
- posting facility to a refuse
transfer station.
In the mid-1980s, the coun-
ty's intention was-to recycle
household waste and turn it


into compost that could be
sold, but 20 years later the
process can no longer keep
up with the demands of
Sumter's growing population
and mounting waste removal
needs.
"It was effective when our
waste quantity was a lot
lower," said Assistant County
Administrator Sandee
Howell.
She said compost made
could not be sold because of
the plastic and glass content,
but it had been used in coun-
ty functions, and the digester
was never used at maximum


capacity because of
Department of
Environmental Protection
regulations.
In August, the county began
a four-year contract with a
disposal site in Osceola
County, which is where all of
Sumter's garbage is being
transported.
Howell said the facility's
first digester broke in 2003,
and the cost of repairing
would have been insur-
mountable. A second digester
was still in the permitting
process and unable to be
used at the time.


"The new Board (of County
Commissioners) realized it
was so costly to compost ver-
sus what we could transfer it
out for," she said.
Although the county is cur-
rently transferring all of its
waste, Howell said there is a
chance the digester could
continue to be used in the
future, possibly by an outside
company.
Also part of the transition,
the number of employees at
Solid Waste was reduced sub-
stantially earlier this year,
and two more positions have
been eliminated recently.


"We recently completed a
small reduction in force,"
that included two employees,
one of whom retired, Howell
said. The other changed to a
position in another county
department. Current posi-
tions at the facility include
administrative workers and
equipment operators.
Also, there is no longer a
director within Solid Waste.
Currently overseeing the
facility is Jackey Jackson,
assistant director of Sumter
County Public Works.
Howell said. there isn't a
definite path for solid waste


but the county continues to
evaluate progress as changes
are made.
"We're still in that transi-
tion period," she said.
Howell said the county has
begun the process of request-
ing proposals from recycling
companies to accept materi-
als like cardboard and plastic
from Solid Waste.
"It's looking better and we
hope to keep it going in that
direction," she said.
"We're constantly working
to increase efficiency and get
the cost down for the benefit
of the taxpayers."

ISG Allen L. Dorsey, Sr, originally from Sumter County, but now a resident of Arizona and serving
in Iraq is shown with "The Jeffersons" television star Sherman Helmsley. Helmsley, who played
George Jefferson on the show, traveled with the United States Army Band, doing shows to sup-
port the troops. Dorsey noted that Helmsley made sure to stay around after the show to pose with
every soldier interested and autographs.


If you're looking for the spot to find fried or baked fish on a
Friday night, think Lake Panasoffkee. On the first Friday of each
month, the Lake Panasoffkee United Methodist Church hosts a
fish dinner gathering where folks can get dinner with all the
fixin's for a suggested donation of $6 per person. That includes
sides, drinks and dessert. Church members join together to
cook, clean and eat. Member Jack Weldon is shown here, man-
ning the fryer. For more information about the dinner and other
events, call 793-3438.

Sydney Hughes, of Kentucky,
scored just right on her histo-
ry project last month. Her
grandmother, Marie Davis of
Bushnell, helped gather proj-
ect information for Sydney on
her WASP (Women's Airforce
Service Pilots) presentation.
She focused on pilot
Jacqueline Cochran. Mrs.
Davis visited the All American
Military Surplus store on Main
Street in Bushnell and pur-
chased a couple of the items
but the owners donated sev-
eral other things to enhance
Sydney's project.

Christmas tree selection and care


The tradition of decorating a
tree for Christmas originated
in Germany several hundred
years ago and was brought to
this country by German set-
tlers during the last centu-
ry.
Today the Christmas tree
is one of the most beautiful
symbols of Christmas and a
great favorite with both
adults and children.
To ensure its beauty this
Christmas, take extra care -
in selecting, preparing and
decorating your tree.
It is important to choose a
fresh tree and to keep it as
fresh as possible so that your
tree will last through the holi-
day season. Select a tree with
good needle-holding ability.
Scotch and White pine and
Douglas and Balsam fir have
naturally good needle-holding
qualities, while spruce trees
tend to loose needles quickly.
Freshly cut trees hold their
needles better and are more
resistant to ignition.
Bend the needles to deter-
mine the tree's freshness.
They should be subtle and
springy to the touch.
Bounce the butt of the tree
to the ground to see if any nee-
dles drop. If more tan a few
needles drop, the tree is not
fresh. The sap on the tree
stump should be sticky and
moist, not hard or caked.


Also choose a tree with an
attractive color and a full,
bushy appearance. Most peo-
ple prefer a conical, symmetri-
cal shape to their tree.


The, branches should be
sturdy enough to hold orna-
ments and other decorations
such as small gifts.
An alternative to a cut tree is
a live tree that can be obtained
at nurseries and tree farms.
After the holiday season is
over, the containerized tree
can be planted in your yard.
Your cut tree should be
stood up in a large bucket of
water in a shady and cool
place as soon as you bring it
home. If the tree must lean
against a wall, make sure that
you turn. it daily to avoid dis-
rupting the shape of the tree.
Make sure your tree is not
located near a fireplace, tele-
vision set( candles or other
source of heat
Place your tree away from
household traffic patterns so
that there will be no possibili-


ty of the tree being knocked
over accidentally.
When decorating your tree,
make sure all lighting equip-
ment is in good condition and
used in accordance with
the manufacturer's specifi-
cations. Always unplug the
lights when leaving the
room.
When cared for properly,
your Christmas tree should
be a source of pleasure
f' throughout the holiday sea-
son.
Plant clinics are held at

Bradley Beasley, 15, is one
of the local kids chosen to visit
Europe in the summer of
2006.
The Wildwood teen was
accepted as 2006 Student
Ambassador to represent both
his school and community.
He points out that he was
accepted based on the level of
his maturity, his involvement
in community service activi-
ties and his grades.
Beasley is slated to visit
France, Italy, Austria,
Switzerland, Malta, the
Netherlands, Belgium and
Germany.
The trip cost, without count-
ing' in spending money, is
going to be nearly $6,000.
He's hoping to get sponsors
for the trip, which he notes
will be an exceptional educa-
tional experience.
He points out that he's over-
whelmed by the thought of vis-
iting different countries and
seeing firsthand the different
cultures around the world.
He points out he's never
been out of the country and
thinks it will be an excellent
opportunity.
He's a member of the Key
Club and the FCA (Fellowship
for Christian Athletes).
He's been in the Key Club
for the past two years and has
been involved in various com-
munity service activities. That
includes participating in the
Pilot Club walk-a-thon for
Alzheimer's and brain disor-
ders.


Bradley Beasley


Earlier this year, he served
on Wildwood High School's
Relay for Life team.
His high school years have
encouraged him to "Be all I
can be," he notes, adding that
he loves working with the
community and volunteering.
He wants to give back.
He credits teacher Sherri
Hampton with encouraging
his service, as his leader in
Key Club.
"She has pushed me to be
all I can be and to help give to
our community, which I am
very thankful because I enjoy
giving my time to help."
He's working hard to insure
his success, through educa-
tion and experience and striv-


ing to be a good example.
Of the things he's been
involved in so far, Beasley
cites the Relay for Life as
being one of the most memo-
rable.
That's because so much of
the community was involved
and so many cancer survivors
and he's already learned to
appreciate his community
and loved ones.
He is the son of Sheila
Callaway and Brian Beasley
and has three siblings Cody
Beasley, Crystal Beasley and
Brianna Beasley.
He also credits his parents
with encouraging him.
He plans to become a doc-
tor.

Preparing for the holiday season


Holidays are the time
when you celebrate
with family and
friends and catch up on
everything
throughout the
year or years since
you last got togeth-
er.
It is the time to
celebrate and
enjoy good food,
friendships and
exchange holiday
recipes and good-
ies.
During this time
.of the year you do MAI
not have any time MAI
to spare so I will try
to help make your
grocery shopping for the hol-
idays easier.
You've got your shopping
cart or basket and you're
standing in the middle of a
crowded shopping aisle. The
bounties of the harvest fill
the produce section, and the
cooler boasts meats, eggs and
cheeses and sale ads are
everywhere. Getting the most
for your food dollar involves
a little time and effort not
only in the aisles of the gro-
cery store, but at home,
before and after you shops.
Before You Go
Shopping
Take a couple of hours to
find out what kinds of gro-
cery stores are available in
your community. Prices real-
ly can vary from store to
store. If your community has
a "farmer's market" you can
usually get a good price on
fresh produce and support-
ing your local farmers. If you
have thrift stores where day
old bread and other baked
goods are sold; while they
may not be quite as fresh,.
they are still good and pro-
vide the same nutritional
value for a real bargain.
Sit down and plan your
week's menu before you go
shopping. Carefully plan out
all three meals each day, and
plan your menu around left-
overs.
If you're eating baked
chicken one night, for
instance, you can plan to put
"the leftover chicken in an
omelet the next.morn ing. in a
salad the next day For lunch,
or in a casserole the next
night for dinner.


Wildwood set

for parade.

on Saturday

The city of Wildwood is
preparing' for its annual
Christmas parade.
The parade beings at 10
a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10, and
will proceed down Main
Street and then turn into the
Wildwood Shopping Centerm,
on Main Street.
Line up for the event begins
at 9:30 a.m.
A variety of entries are
included in this year's
parade;
This year's parade theme is
Christmas in the Eyes of a-
Child.
For more information
about the Wildwood parade
call 303-8064.


R
D


Keep a shopping list taped
to the inside door of your
cupboard; when you get close
to running out of a staple
write'it on the list.
Before you go
J shopping for the
week, include
those items on
your shopping list.
As You Shop
Learn to accu-
rately calculate
how much food
you'll need. It's no
bargain if you buy
tTHA a large quantity to
)DOX save money and
then en up letting
the leftovers go to
waste because you forget
about them or are bored with
them.
Learn to read labels so
you'll be well informed about
price, amount, ingredients
and other important informa-
tion.
Compare the various forms
in which you can buy a cer-
tain food.
Consider buying less
expensive cuts of meat, espe-
cially if you'll be using the
meat in a dish that cooks for
an extended time, such as a
stew. Even inexpensive cuts
of meat will be tender and
delectable when simmered
in stew or soup.
Whole chicken fryers cost
significantly less per pound
than chicken parts; you can
cook them at one time, and
use the leftovers in soup,
stews, casseroles, salads, and


tacos.
Always eat just before you
go shopping-you'll have
much easier time sticking to
what you've written on your
shopping list.
Plan a time to shop when
you can be unhurried; allow
yourself time in the store to
do some comparison shop-
ping for the best buys.
Compare brands of the
same kind of packaged foods.
House brands are less expen-
sive than -the national brands
of the same products and
many generic products are
just as good as brand names,
but they lack the fancy pack-
aging that adds cost.
Nutritional quality is the
same by law.


Resist the tempta-
tion to grab extras
While you should stick to
your list, you should be willing
to make change in one cir-
cumstance: if you spot a bar-
gain at the store, see if you can
substitute.
Buy milk in one gallon con-
tainers it's less expensive that
way and you can get more
milk for your money. Skim
milk or milk with 2% fat con-
tent costs less and is better for
you.
In general, avoid foods that
are already prepared. You can
save considerably by purchas-
ing your own fresh produce
and taking the extra effort to
make it from scratch.
As you buy fresh produce,
pay attention to amounts: it's
a temptation to grab the
largest bunch of grapes, but
don't buy more than you will
eat.
Learn to check for weights
instead of making your pur-
chases based on size.
A large loaf of bread, for
instance, may weigh several
ounces less than a smaller
and tastier load of bread on
the next shelf.
When you can, buy foods
labeled "enriched," "forti-
fied," or "vitamin C added."
Buy cereals that you fix
yourself such as oatmeal
instead of prepackaged cere-
als or ready to serve form.
Steer away from pre sweet-
ened cereals, drink mixes and
other pre sweetened foods.
When buying breads and
cereals, buy whole grain prod-
ucts.
Buy cheese in solid bricks.
Pre sliced or pre grated
cheese is considerably more
expensive than the same
amount of solid cheese.
Keep an eagle eye at the
checkout counter; mistakes
can easily be made. Monitor
the price of each item as it is
rung up on the cash register,
and point out any.errors to the
clerk.
Follow these tips when
shopping for a holiday party
or any large occasion and you
can save money and have
extra time to make sure every
little detail is just the way you
want it. For more nutrition
information contact your local
Sumter County Extension
Office at 352-793-2728.

Amazing Gracie helpers thanked


Last week, the Sumter
County Times had a front-
page article about Amazing
Gracie and her puppies, and
the abuse they have suffered.
Many people continue to ask
how the canine family is
doing.
Credit for Gracie and her
puppies amazing recovery
should go to Dr. Yates of
Jumper Creek Veterinarian
Clinic for coming in on a
Sunday to give Gracie four
hours of emergency medical
care.
Animal Control Officer
Frank Taberner went beyond
the call of duty when he went
into the clinic on Sunday
evening and- early Monday
morning to feed Gracie and
her puppies, and administer
their medications.
When Gracie and her pup-
pies were out of immediate
danger, she was moved to
Animal Control, where the
kennel staff did an incredible


job feeding and caring for
them. Gracie and her puppies
fattened up and their person-
alities, blossomed with the
attention the staff gave them.
Animal Control, under new
management, offers friendly
service to the public and com-
passionate care to the ani-
mals. But they are strict on
animal abuse, and with the
reward that the Humane
Society/SPCA of Sumter
County is offering, hopefully
an arrest and conviction will
be made soon.
The Animal Control person-
nel do the best they can in an
antiquated and inhumane
shelter that the county con-
tinues to keep them in.
$400,000 was allocated, to-
build a new facility, and now,
instead of keeping that prom-
ise, the county commissioners
are planning to build on an
extension of more outside
kennels. This will leave more
dogs exposed to the freezing


temperatures in the winter.
What a waste of our tax dol-
lars! Why would the commis-
sioners keep a building that
does not meet code and is
unsafe, and to add the same
inhumane type of structure?
The citizens of Sumter County
were promised a new Animal
Control Facility, so why are
the commissioners wasting
money on the old building?
The Humane Society/SPCE
supported pet licensing so
that extra funds would be
available to improve the con-
ditions at Animal Control. If
surrounding counties have
facilities that are safe, and
human, why not Sumter
County? The Animal Control
facility in Sumter is a dis-
grace. To continue wasting
money on a band-aid fix to a
rundown and unsafe building
is a disservice to the Animal
Control staff, the animals that
are house there, and the coiln-
ty's citizens.

County judge appointed as mentor for new judges


Sumter County Judge Tom
Skidmore has been appointed
as mentor for new judges in
the Fifth Judicial Circuit of
Florida by the Chief Justice of
the Florida Supreme Court,
Barbara J. Pariente.
The Fifth Judicial Circuit
comprises Sumter, Lake,
Citrus, Marion and Hernando
Counties. The term is effective
through September 2007.
The role of the mentor judge
is to ease the new judge's tran-


sition from bar to bench by
providing information and
assistance to meet both the
immediate and emerging
needs of the new judge during
the first year on the bench.
The mentor judge provides
learning experiences for the
new judge by arranging oppor-
tunities for the new judge to
observe -the mentor handling
matters that the new judge
will be expected to preside
over the first year and to pro-


vide exposure to as wide a
range of judicial philosophies
as possible so that a broad
foundation is established
upon which the judge can
begin to develop their own
judicial style.


New judges are assigned a
trained mentor judge within
48 hours -of election or
appointment
The first meeting routinely
takes place before the new
judge begins to hear cases.


Mentors are a primary contact
for new judges during their
first full year in office.
Mentor judges also partici-
pate in continuing mentor
education programs at least
every other year so they will
be better able to consistently
and competently exercise
their responsibilities on
behalf of the courts.
Justice Pariente in her
appointment letter thanked
Judge Skidmore for his "con-


tinued interest in the judicial-
mentoring program and for'
your willingness to share the;
benefit of your experience:
with Florida's newly appoint-
ed/elected judges.
Your role as judicial mentor-
to our newest judges is a criti-
cal part of our judicial educa--
tion program.
You are a valued member of:
our mentor program. Thank-
you again for your continued:
service to the judiciary"

SUMMER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2005, PAGE 23


Gophers and a little history of this special reptile


I recently read about a
major gopher die off over
in Citrus County some-
where in the south end of the
Citrus Wildlife man-
agement Area.
Folks, this gopher
die off was of some "
interest to me
because I have ,,
spent untold hours ,.
in the Citrus .'
W i l d 1 i f e
Management area
over the years both
patrolling as a game
warden working for
the state and also as JAMI E
a hunter in the pur- -
suit of killing a few
deer, and to boot, I
have particular interest in and
have a special likening for
gophers.
Right off the bat I recon I
need to let you readers who
are not native Florida
Crackers know what a gopher
is here in Florida. You may
mistakenly think I am talking
about a little four-legged fury
critter that looks a. whole lot
like an over grown rat that
lives underground. Well what
we Crackers commonly refer
to as a gopher does have four


legs all right and lives in bur-
rows under the ground, but it's
in the reptile family and is
quite frankly a turtle.
The late Governor
Chiles called
gophers Hoover
chickens. A lot of
other Florida
Crackers did also.
During the sure nuff
hard times of the
depression in the
20s and 30s many
poor folks in
Florida relied on
gophers big time to
ADAMS time to put fresh
r Writer meat in the cooking
-m pot.
For my part I have
seen a few hard times but I
have never eaten any gopher.
But I sure know a lot of fine
folks who have, and from what
they tell me, it makes for some
mighty fine groceries.
Now fresh meat from a soft-
shelled turtle, that is another
story. I have had and enjoyed
soft-shelled turtle meat more
times that I can count, and
even in these days in time, if I
can get my hands on a frying
sized or bigger soft shell turtle,
then me and Shug can plan on


some fine table fare.
Gophers are fully protected
now and for what reason I
don't really understand other
than in some places they may
be in some kind of trouble. But
in reality, in most of the places
I frequent from time to time
they seem to being doing all
right
As for as the Citrus area, if
the people in charge found as
many gophers as it was report-
ed then I think from my many
years of experience in law
enforcement that there, might
possibly have been some
hanky panky going on, for the
simple reason gophers, just
like any other species of
wildlife, will not overpopulate
themselves.
The Good Lord in his infi-
nite wisdom gave all his crit-
ters the intelligence to not over
reproduce to the point that the
food and natural habitat would
not adequately provide for
their needs.
The exception is mankind
and we have not fared too well
in many cases with what we
were blessed with, and in turn
are suffering from many prob-
lems brought on by overcrowd-
ing.


Back to the gopher situation
and the problems they seem to'
be going through. I have to
seriously question the
research as to what takes place
in a gopher's life. When I was
an active member on the Fish
and Wildlife Commission, the
Gophers situation came before
us at a meeting and I posed
some difficult questions to the
FWC biolo-
gists as to
what was
really In all ofr
k n o w n prowling
a b o u t
gophers and WOOdS that V
to my dis- with plenty
may I dis- have only
covered that
there had newly hat
been very gop
little serious
research as
to what real-
ly took place in a Gophers
lifespan.
You readers who spend a lot
of time outdoors in the woods
and come across gophers
where they hang out help me
out a little if you have the
answers to my questions. The
biologists, when questioned,
did not know and I don't for


a




Pi
)


sure know what happens to a
baby gopher immediately after
it is hatched from its egg.
In all of my days of prowling
around the woods that were
infested with plenty of gophers
I have only found one newly
hatched baby gopher that was
about the size of a silver dollar.
I found it just outside of a
gopher hole and I think in all
honestly
that it was
either lost
ny days of of disorient-
iround the ed.
Now I
vere infested have no
of gophers I proof or sci-
found one entific facts
found one to back up
ched baby my summa-
her tion of the
gopher situ-
ation but I
believe that
as soon as the baby gophers
hatch, which by the way, takes
place right at the mouth and,
entrance of the mother cave.
The cave entrance is almost
always facing the rising morn-
ing sun which I also believe is
needed for the warmth it pro-
vides in helping incubate the
eggs.


I believe the newly hatched
baby gophers immediately go
down into the mother's cave
for a few days or even months
for protection and nourish-
ment provided by the mother.
I don't know if my thoughts
on this subject are right or
wrong but some of you obser-
vant readers might have the
answers. It is for sure that the
baby gophers do not stay above
the ground after hatching or if
they do they remain nearly if
not completely invisible, as I
have not talked to anyone who
has found the newly hatched
babies moving around any-
where in the woods.
The babies are so small that
they would be easy prey for
just about any kind of varmint
and would have a hard time
surviving if at all.
I have found numerous
gophers, however, that were
about a third grown, but where
they have been between the
time of hatching and to this
point in their life remains a
mystery to me.
Anyway gophers are a spe-
cial part of Cracker Florida
.and have a played a large part
in helping Florida in times of
need.


FWC adopts new airboat


sound reduction measures

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) approved enforcement
procedures and educational efforts concerning airboat sound reduction Wednesday during
its meeting at Key Largo.
SThe Commissioners' action clarified that flex pipe is not an effective muffling device and
that mufflers .are required on airboats. Commissioners also included a provision directing
FWC officers to promote compliance through a six-month educational period.
Commissioners also voted to move forward with public outreach efforts to resolve con-
cerns about airboat sound levels.
Outreach efforts will include an airboat-sound reduction competition next spring, in coop-
eration with the industry, to develop innovative solutions for making airboats quieter.
To get to this point, FWC staff conducted six workshops to gather input from airboaters,
sound experts and residents to address complaints about sound levels produced by airboat'
engines and propellers.
i-- Workshops attracted 400 participants who overwhelmingly agreed on the need for an air-
-boater code of ethics and the need for effective mufflers on airboat engines.


The Community Angels were at it again last month, as they donated turkeys to the soup kitchen
in Wildwood. The angels are county employees who donate funds or items to help folks in need.
Representing the angels are county employees Karen Parker, Linda Burt, Shelley Burt and Ralph
Eldridge.
