Shooting probed by FDLE AMANDA MIMS 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 Please see SHOOT, Page 2 PREPARING FOR THE HOLIDAYS PREPARING FOR THE HOLIDAYS down AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer 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 Please see PROBE, Page 2 Suit filed against rehearing mine case BOB REICHMAN Editor 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. The board's denial came Please see MINE age 2 in &~7~.J4'~ ~ ~ rh .4.. ,* .. ,.- . - VOLUME 121 NUMBER 46 50 CENTS PAGE 2, SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2005 Photo by Brenda Locklear Reddick's shoes and socks were left behind when he escaped the guards who were transporting him to Alachua County Monday afternoon. Authorities used the items to help put canines onto Reddick's scent as he hid in the woods barefoot, handcuffed and in belly chains ESCAPE continued from Page 1 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. SHOOT continued from Page 1 the FDLE Crime Laboratory in Tampa. \ hen the investiga- MINE continued from Page 1 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 Mask, Michael Francis and Chandler approved rehearing the request. Commissioners Jim Roberts and Richard Hoffman voted in opposition. Back in October, when the board initially denied the company's request, it did sc over recommendations tc approve the proposal fromr both county staff and the county Zoning and 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.

State Attorney Brad King began a formal inquiry in July 2004. The group compiled infor- mation and documents for King's office to review, and Creach placed an advertise- ment in the Sumter County Times seeking "whistleblow- ers" who knew of any irregu- larities that may be of interest to a grand jury. In a memorandum dated Nov. 21 from Catto to King, Catto wrote, "I have reached the conclusion that there is no evidence to prove that any crimes were committed by an individual or entity," in the ,process which resulted in a trash digester beiig built for the county. Catto- listed items he was asked to review regarding the digester, including bidding and contracting of the digester, whether there were any improper relationships between Sumter County employees and officials of companies that either were MASSEY--FERGUSON F Tracto Loader Backh4 Equipi Ail Terna 31800 Progress Rd., Leesbur 351-360-1 Slaugh Feeder Feeder L percent h Slaugh Slaughter Cows Breaker 75-80% Repac W Range Avg Wt Pdce Range Avg Price 1245-1285 1265 43.5045.00 44.24 Slaughter Cows Boner 80-85% Wt Range AvgWt Price Range Avg Price 820-1195 1016 42.00.47.00 44.98 940.1085 1030 48.00-52.00 49.54 Hi 1220-1535 1361 45.0047:00 46.34 1645-1655 1650 44.00-47,50 45.74 Slaughter Cows Lean 85-90% SWl Range AvgWI Pice Range AvgPrice 730-790 759 39.00-41.00 39.76 700-770 730 29.00-32.00 30.37 Lo 825-1075 921 36.00-42.00 40.13 850-1030 911 26.00-35.00 30.97 Lo1 Slaughter Bulls Y.G.

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. ,Ur! .1 1.13 05s S.'V-3'.L M,-'Zi.rq, k,.p 'your L 1jdd, :;'( *10 lomaildrdtseswithWebma! T s IA:im S jn P nev- weather&nme!

BOB REICHMAN Editor 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Jim Koutsky Durham, North Carolina 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.

William Clay Wing Wildwood 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" Wanda Roberts A very proud Raiders Fan 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? DorothyBryant Webster Senior ADVOCATE 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.

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.

The 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.

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.

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 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." 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.

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2005, PAGE 9 ,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."

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 the extension office in Sumter County 793-2728 on Thursdays, as well as 1 to 4pm on the first Monday of every month at the Sumter County Annex on County Road 466; and a Florida Friendly Landscape Series is held from 3:30p.m. to 5 p.m. on the second Wednesday of every month at the Lake Panasoffkee Recreation Center, located at 1852 County Road 457. A Florida Friendly Landscaping Series is present- ed by Wendel Martinkovic and Martin Grum in Oxford on Dec. 8 from 1 to 2:30 pm. The topic is "Trees for Florida" Martin Grum is a Sumter County Master Gardener, for help with any garden or land- scape advice call the Sumter County Extension office at 352- 793-2728. 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. *55 Hats JacKets I-snirt aorts la ues (Hy.4 tAcrs Fro Circle K)1264 677 , InvrnesZ F iL ^LL^7^ Ws so a a aa t as 61so Dr. A.

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.

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. FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION; PUBLIC MEETING The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has scheduled a Public Meeting for the SR 48 (Belt Avenue) Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study.

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" SSumter CA ENDAR Thursday, Dec. 8 The Women's Ministry (Home League) of The Salvation Army in Sumter County will host Tim and Susan Martin, certified sen- ior advisors at the weekly meeting to be held at 10 a.m. The Martins will present a review, clarification, and question and answer session regarding the (seemingly confusing) Medicare D pro- gram.

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. 39 & ,.'.. a 5, d2".- 2005 CHEVW MALIBU Auto. A/C, Pwr.
