Reddick, charged with attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, escaped custody last week at a Wildwood convenience store while being extradited to Alachua County. Georgia law enforcement officers captured him late Friday night after a search that lasted five days. with cuts, dehydration and pneumonia an escaped inmate who fled from a trans- port van last. Monday near Wildwood was finally appre- hended in Georgia Friday night following two different manhunts. After five days of traveling through woods in Florida and Georgia and hitchhiking rides along interstates, Dominic Reddick, 22, was apprehend- ed by Georgia law enforce- ment agents late Friday night. He was returned to Sumter County on Tuesday where he faced his first court appear- ance before County Judge Tom Skidmore, charged with fleeing from law enforcement officers in Sumter County. Skidmore denied bail after a request from Assistant State Attorney Michael Lamberti. Lamberti said Reddick poses "a substantial risk to the he had found outside a home community and a substantial risk" of fleeing. Reddick appeared to be relieved when officers of the U.S. Marshals Service, appre- hended him in woods south of Savannah, Ga., according to Jennifer Armstrong, supervi- sory deputy with the U.S. Marshals Service. Reddick was wearing boxer briefs, a T-shirt and a sweater and a pair of stolen tennis shoes he had found outside a home, Armstrong said. He was originally wearing a pair of sweatpants when he escaped, but he lost them when they became tangled in weeds, she said. Aided by a tracking dog, Reddick was apprehended in woods near a convenience store off Interstate 95, Armstrong said. "He just fell to the ground and then we handcuffed him. He was exhausted and could barely stand." Reddick escaped on Dec. 5 when the van he was being transported in broke down at the Wildwood interchange along Interstate 75. He was being extradited from a detention center in Orange County, charged with attempted first-degree mur- der of a police officer, to Alachua County where he was charged with aggravated assault, aggravated battery and carrying a concealed weapon, according to police. Sumter sheriff's officials spent nearly 30 hours comb- n ly A that Reddick had fled the area in a stolen pickup truck. The following day, Georgia law enforcement authorities started their own search after they received tips that Reddick was seen in Georgia, Armstrong said. He managed to elude law enforcement officers during a search that involved about 70 officers and lasted about 53 hours between last Wednesday and last Friday nights through several south- ern Georgia counties, she said. Reddick was apprehended Dec. 9 after he was seen returning to a dumpster near the convenience store to apparently retrieve some donuts that had been thrown away, Armstrong said. Please see FUGITIVE, Page 2 Photo by Amanda Mims Four people were injured in a 3-vehicle accident on County Road 471 near Sumterville on Dec. 9. A Nissan Altima collided with a box truck and pickup truck at about 10 a.m. after the northbound Altima apparently drifted in to the southbound lane. The pickup overturned three times, according to Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Leslie Weber. The driver, 36-year-old Brian Flowers, was not injured, but the driver of the Altima, Quintero Scott, and two passengers, presumed wife Jo Scott and a small child, were taken to Citrus Memorial Hospital for treatment. The third passenger, an infant, was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center.

Residents Guy Simmons, Mike Simmons and Brian Simmons have notified the County Commission through a letter from their attorney, Lee Hawkins Jr., that they will pursue legal action if the board approves Rinker's request to expand its mining operation on an approximate- ly 395-acre tract. to the west of its existing mine. "Each of my clients' family homesteads are settled within close proximity of the pro- posed mine." Hawkdns' letter states. "Permitting this 'expansion' would 'effectively, place the lime rock mine in their backyards." The action follows the recent filing of a lawsuit by a Center Hill couple also opposed to the mine's expan- sion and opposed to the County Commission rehear- ing Rinker's request, sched- uled for Dec. 20. John Megan and Louise Racine filed the court docu- ments on Dec. 5 in an attempt to stop the County Commission from rehearing. Rinker's request. The Simmons' letter expresses similar environ- mental concerns about Rinker's proposed expansion as the lawsuit filed by Megan and Racine. "My clients intend to hold the Board of County Commissioners personally liable for any action which may cause damage to their property; disrupt neighbor- hood tranquility; create haz- ardous conditions from sink- hole activity; radon gas or other such conditions; and Please see MINE, Page 2 WILD WOOD HOLIDAY PARADE The Wildwood Middle School band plays for the crowd during last weekend's Wildwood parade. A variety of bands and floats participated in the annual event that meandered its way along the city's Main Street. Commission approves operating permit for cement plant MARTIN STEELE Times Correspondent County Commissioners on Tuesday approved the first operating permit ever issued in Sumter for a cement pro- duction plant. The board granted the per- mit to Natural Resources of Central Florida (NRCF) for a plant that is proposed for the manufacture of Portland cement. It is to be built on NRCF mine property about two miles east of U.S. 301 and north of County Road 470 near Sumterville. That action came by way of a three-to-two vote of commis- sioners along the same lines as the vote in August to approve modification of NRCF's conditional use per- mit to allow the cement plant on the approximately 1,200- acre mine site. In each case, Commission Chairman Joey Chandler and Commissioners Michael Francis and Richard Hoffman voted to approve the NRCF applications. Commissioners Jim Roberts and Randy Mask voted against each of the pro- posals. As the issue has done previ- ously, it again brought out a group of county residents opposed to granting the oper- ation permit. Apparently residents con- cerns prompted at least one concession from the appli- cant. When Anna Long, an Orlando attorney represent- ing NRCF, listed a number of the operating permit provi- sions that were developed by county staff, she noted that NRCF requested the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to include a provision for continuous mer- cury emission's monitoring in the applicants air quality per- mit These are some of the other permit provisions that Long provided: The most stringent provi- sions of any of the state, feder- al or county permits would prevail. County has the right to inspect at any time. All materials are to be covered. Submission of all reports to state and federal agencies would be provided to county. All permit applications, documents and correspon- dence are to be submitted to county. Ground water monitoring as established by Southwest Florida Water Management District permit stipulations.

Doremus was always trying to get the girls to go outside with him, Wills said. "In one instance, he reached under one of the girl's shirts and grabbed her breast" Both of the youngsters attend middle school, Wills said. Doremus has been with Sumter County Fire and Rescue for three years, according to Brad Burris, division chief. Following his arrest, Doremus was placed on unpaid administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation, Burris said.

The lawsuit filed by Megan and Racine challenges the County Commission's deci- sion to rehear the issue later this month. It claims that the company did not meet dead- lines specified in county codes for rehearing the case. In October, the County Commission denied Rinker a change of use permit for expansion in a 4-to-1 vote. Following that denial, in November, Rinker requested that the board reconsider its application based on provi- sions in county codes. At that meeting, in a 3-to-2 vote, commissioners Randy Mask, Michael Francis and Joey Chandler approved rehearing the request. Commissioners Jim Roberts and Richard Hoffman voted in opposition.

The City Council was sched- uled to vote on issues of a con- troversial mine concerning annexation of the land, allow- ing the company a conditional use permit, and altering the city code which currently pro- hibits mining. Sumter Cement LLC approached the city earlier this year with intentions to mine and manufacture cement on about 1,500 acres outside the current city limits of Center Hill. Taylor's response was the only indication given at the meeting that the issue had been put off.' "In order to ensure proper notice.. .they're being re-adver- tised," Taylor said regarding the meeting notices for three ordinances the city was sched- uled to consider. The company's requests have been met with opposi- tion from city and county resi- dents, as well as the Sumter Board of County Commissioners. In Center Hill, the city's attorney creates an ordinance that is then advertised, read twice at a public meeting, and council members vote for or against it upon the third read- ing. The first and second read- ings of two ordinances regard- ing the mine issues were held last month. Another ordi- nance for annexation of the mine property was read in September, and Center Hill City Council was scheduled to hold the final readings of the three ordinances and vote on them Tuesday, but instead chose to re-advertise the meetings without much expla- nation to those attending the meeting. The first and second readings of the ordinances for the conditional use permit and change to city code have been scheduled for Dec. 22 at 7:30 p.m. City Clerk Diane Lamb said after the Dec. 6 meeting the reason for re-advertising is errors made by both the city and by the newspaper that published the advertisements. She said the final readings would probably be held at a regular meeting in January. Brent Spain, an attorney for a local property owner, sent letters to Taylor questioning whether the city's advertise- ments in the Daily Commercial agree with Florida Statutes and city codes. In one letter, he questioned a notice for,the ordinance to allow the company a condi- tional use permit. He wrote, "...the City has failed to pro- vide legally sufficient notice.. .to be considered at the Commission's December 6 meeting. Accordingly, such matters should be removed from the Commission's December 6 agenda and rescheduled for a date upon legally sufficient notice." He .also said the advertise- ment did not include a gener- al description of the area pro- posed to be annexed. ' Notice given concerning the change to Center Hill City Code did not adequately explain the changes to be made, according to Spain. "Thus, the published notice for proposed Ordinance No. 05-12 is wholly misleading as to the nature and scope of the proposed text amendment...a member of the general public would have no idea from the published notice as to, the nature and scope of the text amendment being proposed." Spain has criticized the city's methods of advertising other meetings as well. Regarding a Nov. 3 Center Hill Planning and Zoning Board hearing concerning the mine's request for a condi- tional use permit, he wrote, "...neither the mailed notice nor the published notice for Sumter Cement Company LLC's rezoning request state, in any fashion, what the con- ditional use permit is for, i.e., to allow a mining and cement plant on the subject property." In other business, two more ordinances were read on Tuesday that are not related to Sumter Cement. One, Ordinance 05-13, relates to setting impact fees for development and the other, 05-14, is for developer review fees. A third ordinance concerning developer agree- ments was listed on the agen- da but was not read. One arrested, two wanted in robbery AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer A 58-year-old clerk outside a Wildwood .convenience store suffered head injuries after he was hit with a brick by a robber while two others went inside and stole an undisclosed amount of cash, telephone cards and lottery tickets on Nov. 28, according to Wildwood Police Capt. Eddie Reeser. One of the suspects, 19-year- old Harold Dalton, Jr., Wildwood, was arrested SDec. 6. The other two are being sought by police. Dalton was charged with robbery Dalton with a weapon for allegedly striking the clerk outside M & K Kwik Save, who fell forward after Dalton hit him in the back of the head, according to Reeser. He said the clerk also suffered injuries to the front of his head from the fall. He was transported to West Marion Community Hospital for treat- ment. Dalton was additionally charged with aggravated bat- tery and possession of mari- juana under 20 grams. Bond was set at $15,500. The two others are juve- niles who fled on foot after the robbery, Dalton reported- ly fled in a vehicle. The two youths, whose names Reeser did not release, are believed to be in the area. "We're trying to work with the parents to get them in here for interviews and bring them in safely," he said. They are described as two young black males: Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call the Wildwood Police Department at 330-1355. In addition to the three charges Dalton faces for the Nov. 28 robbery, he was charged by the Sumter Sheriff's Office with armed burglary, dealing in stolen property, and grand theft 'for an unrelated incident on Nov. 10. At about 1 p.m. on Nov. 10, Dalton and the two juveniles forcefully entered a home on County Road 238 in Wildwood, according to Sheriff's Lt. Bobby Caruthers. They entered through the garage by kicking in the door and went through the house, stealing 10 cases of cigarettes, Black and Mild cigars, a .32- caliber revolver, and $300 in cash, he said. 'Approximately 15 minutes later, the subject went across the street and began trying to sell cigarettes to passersby." He said Dalton then went to an apartment complex on Mill Street and tried to sell the cigars and cigarettes. Caruthers said the home is in the same area as M and Kwik Save, where the Nov. 28 robbery occurred, and Dalton has an extensive criminal his- tory. Bond was set for these charges at $25,000. - Po REPORT Wednesday, Dec. 7 John Grover, 37, Webster, was arrested for possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia. Bond was set at $1,000.

Photo by Amanda Mims Careless driving was the cause of this accident on North Main Street in Bushnell on Monday, according to a Bushnell Police Department report. A 1995 Ford car, driven by Debra Stewart of Monson, Mass., drove onto Main Street from Walker Avenue and struck this 2000 Dodge car driven by David Durham, 25, Merritt Island, the report states. Durham, traveling north on Main Street, made an attempt to avoid the collision, but was struck by the Ford car, causing the Dodge to overturn, according to the report. Durham sustained possible injuries, and Stewart was not injured, according to the report. Durham was not transported to a hos- pital immediately following the crash. Stewart was charged with careless driving, the report states. CELEBRATING THE SEASON Remembering loved ones at special event ROBIN EDDINS Times Corepondent Saturday, Dec. 10, marked the 7th Annual Memorial Service for people who wished to remember their loved ones during the Christmas season at Purcell FYneral Home in Bushnell. Participants were given an angel ornament with the name of their deceased loved one on it and given time to place the ornament on the tree. The tradition was started seven years ago by the late Lane Purcell, owner of the funeral home. Purcell was a man who loved to give back to his community. This year was also marked by the addi- tion of his own ornament on the tree. Justin Purcell is carrying on the tradition. He now runs the funeral home that was started in 1960 by John Purcell and carried on by his one of many groups that participated in the annual father Lane until his passing Last year. Ruby Hewitt who lost her husband of 46 years in 1994 and Monette Tolar whose husband passed in 2003 were appreciative of the opportu- nity to honor and remember their departed spouses. "It's a beautiful experi- ence. This is the best one so far," Hewitt said of the event.. After the ornaments were placed on the tree, the chil- dren choirs from 1st Baptist Church of Bushnell and the Croom-a-Coochee Baptist church sang for the atten- dees. When the service was over, all those in attendance were given the opportunity to take their keepsake ornaments wood off of the tree and join the e his The ladies of the "Red Hat Society" in all their Purcell family for a recep- splendid regalia. tion meal.I Cub Scout Pack 306 Wildwood was just Wildwood holiday parade last Saturday. Santa Claus rides his sleigh through Wildv Shopping Center for a brief visit before busiest day of the year. PAGE 4, SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2005 SUMTER COUNTY THE VOICE OF SUMTER COUNTY SINCE 1881 The editorial opinion expressed in the Sumter County Times is the opinion of the news staff of this newspaper Editor ...................... Bob Reichman Publisher .................. Gerry Mulligan General Manager/Sales Manager... Alan Place 204 E. McCollum Ave. Bushnell, FL 33513 Member Florida Press Association Our VOICE Once again Center Hill disappoints 4b qb a to 00 -*- 0. 0 0 "Copyrighted Material .Syndicated Content Available fromCommercial News Providers" *I A I l . Your VOICE It would have been so simple. All the Center Hill City Council needed to do during their meeting last week was to publicly announce that the board is postponing considera- tion of controversial mine proposals for Sumter Cement Company. That's all it would have taken to inform the pub- lic in an appropriate manner. But that didn't happen. Bc Instead, the only refer- REIC ence to the postpone- ment of this major issue was a side comment made between City Councilman J.R. Smith and City Attorney Larry Taylor that was almost inaudible to the general public. , It just once again shows the lack of consideration that this board seems to have for the public they've been elected to represent. Ironically, this lack of public interaction is exactly why the issue was postponed in the first place. The board postponed making a decision based on a complaint from attorney Brent Spain claim- ing that the City Council did not provide adequate information to the public when they advertised public notices of their intent to consider, annexation of land. allowing the company a condition- al use permit, and altering the city code which currently prohibits mining. We're talking about changes that involve 1,500 acres of land. This is a monumental issue for the city of H Center Hill. Whether intentional or not, this lack of disclosure gives the impression that Center ..... Hill's government lead- ers aren't too keen on informing the public about issues that are likely to cause some crit- icisms. -^ iWhen major issues are up for consideration and Government leaders don't provide clear and informative notification B to the public, then some- tMAN thing's wrong. Coupled with that, we're still trying to fig- ure out exactly how the City Council managed to postpone this issue without ever taking a vote to do go at last week's meeting. Spain definitely is on ,the right, track with his criticism of the city. He's representing a local property owner opposed to .Sumter Cement's requests. Spain complains of the city's lack of providing adequate public notice and lack of description and information concerning mine- related issues. We couldn't agree more. In Center Hill, it seems that pub- lic accountability and responsibil- ity has somehow been overlooked or even avoided. Residents of Center Hill should- n't have.to try and figure out what the City Council is doing, their information concerning board issues should be clear, informa- tive and readily available. That's not too much to ask and the public should settle for nothing less.

John Eisler Senior ADVOCATE Mailbox brings questions about medication decisions Extension OFFICE Holiday shopping Christmas is almost here and many consumers have not fin- ished or even started their holiday shopping. As you grab your purse and head for the mall, keep a few last minute thoughts in mind. Keep within your budget. Buy no more than you can pay for! Living expenses for January have to be paid I and there may be other expenses such as insur- ance, taxes on your home, income tax, schoolbooks and tuition or other mone- tary demands. Careful, comparison- MAF shopping saves money. MA Also, many stores have MA "before Christmas" as well as after Christmas sales. Carefully check the store return policy if there is any possibility that a purchase may be returned. Will the store accept a return? For how long? Will it refund the purchase price, or will it only exchange'the item? If a refund is given, is it a full or reduced amount? Must you have the sales receipt? (Always keep sales receipts until you are sure there will be no returns. If there is a return, you may do it or give the sales receipt to the Rt Dil recipient so he/she can make the return.) Be careful in selecting items that are holiday specialties. Not many people want a sweater in January with a Santa on it If the purchase has a war- ranty, check it to see when it goes into 'effect and what documentation is needed to validate the warranty. Think about how usable a gift will be for the receiver. Electronics that require programming capabilities may be, great for a high school student with 'com- puter skills but not for the FHA. older person without that, pDOXE type of knowledge. Also remember your wife may not appreciate those diamond earrings as a gift if you made the down payment and she will have to make the monthly payments on them. Avoid gifts that bring debt with them. Don't overlook practical gifts, such as smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and motion lights. These are especially useful for older people Please see SHOPPING, Page 5 SDan, I thank you for the informative and interesting columns that have been appearing in my local newspaper. Your recent column explaining some of the terms used in insurance company 1 - literature was most '. helpful." ' (Note: I received many e-mails similar to the one above. However, I did want you all to know that if it were not for the editors of your local newspapers, you D would not have Roi received said informa- tion. My 600-word col- umn was extended last week, by some' 200 words. So, I am just doing my job, I am pleased with your appreciation, but thank your local editors.) This reader continues: "Dan, one other thing you might want to explain is 'step therapy, which some plans have as a require- ment." A.: This was one savvy reader; I did forget to explain step therapy. Step therapy is .a term used by some insurance companies, meaning: If you are taking a cer- tain drug or drugs, the insurer has the right to request that you attempt to use a different drug that treats the same medical con- dition, before it would cover the drug you requested. Example: If Drug A and B both have the same benefits for your medical condition, you may be asked to take Drug B first. If Drug B does not provide you with the same medici- nal benefit, then the insurer would allow you to use Drug A, your ini- tially requested drug. Remember, always work closely with your physi- cian, and make sure that he or she is aware of this request from the insurer. Q.: "Dan, I read your AN column last week Can IAN you please explain A- more about quantity limits? Why?" A: As I previously explained, an insurer has the right to limit the quantity of your monthly prescrip- tions the number of pills, cap- sules, tablets or whatever that your physician may prescribe. This means exactly what it sounds like. Before I.explain the why, again confer with your physician if your insurer limits the amount of your prescription. In fact, consult with your physician in all matters con- cerning the rules and regulations of insurance companies. Also, do not forget that you and your physi- cian have the right to appeal, request a waiver and even request a prescription that is not within the insurer's formulary. The why? Some are legitimate business decisions of your insurer. Once again, these prescription drug plans are not coming to you as a government entitlement pro- gram. Yes, the government pays the insurer about $3 for each $1 that the plan costs you. So, this aspect it is an entitlement pro- gram. However, its operation is that of private enterprise. Hence, some medications are very expensive, and your need of them is dependent on your med- ical condition. Some of these medications may be taken once per week, biweekly or even once per day. This is the first determination for the insurer. The insurer is not out to get you, but must determine how medical- ly often do you need said drug or drugs. Often, physicians, in trying to help patients, will prescribe more drugs than a monthly supply, and then tell the patient to take only one-half or one-quarter per day or every other day of said drug. This is what the insurance companies have to figure out And, you, the public-consumer, eventually may find out that your prescriptions might be far less expensive using your physician's methods, as opposed to your allowed amount and cost from your insurance plan.

Mask asked Long for the company to provide some- thing else "web based, real time emissions data." His request would have the company's .emission data almost instantly available to anyone over the Internet. But, John Koogler, NRCF's environmental consultant, said that the company's vol- untary continuous emission monitoring is a first in the state and that a "data logger" will record the information. If permit levels are exceed- ed, NRCF is required to noti- fy the DEP "You might say it's some- what like the fox watching the henhouse, but it is an acceptable procedure for the US Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) and all 50 states," Koogler said. Koogler said it is technical- ly possible to have the data posted to the web, but that it places a burden on.the DEP "They do not encourage it." He contended that the con- tinuous monitoring is a suffi- cient safeguard. But, Roberts did not agree, noting that if the company could not provide what the board was asking for, then the permit could be denied. Cary Cohrs, the cement division manager for NRCF, said that discussions of the issue have been ongoing for about three years. "What your asking is you want some numbers put on a web-site for people that can't SHOPPING continued from Page 4 living alone and those who "have everything." The'elder- ly may, appreciate stamps, envelopes, stationary and other useful items, especially if they have reduced mobility. Gift cards are good gifts. understand it," Cohrs asked. The booing and angry response from the residents came almost instantly along with Chandler's admonish- ment against any outbursts. Wendell Martinkovic, of Lake Panasoffkee, said he opposed the permit because of the potential impact on the lake. "I can't prove that the plant will harm the local environ- ment, but the applicant can't prove that it won't," Martinkovic said. "I urged you to err on the side of cau- tion." Yvonne Taylor, of Center Hill, repeated the same warning she made to the board a couple of years ago regarding a propose landfill. She said the head of the DEP told her at that time that once the county approved an operation, it would take an "act of God" to change it. , A number of Villages resi- dents spoke in opposition to the permit or at least for greater county diligence. The plant would "pose risks unlike any other busi- ness that has come before this board," Eleanor Strickland said. She warned that the state and federal agencies could not be trusted to look out for the welfare of county resi- dents. Sue Michalson said that she is concerned about the potential negative effects of mercury emissions. She also asked for continu- ous emission monitoring "at the stacks" and for the county to require the company to obtain "baseline" data on existing mercury levels. "Don't take a beautiful rural area and turn it into an ugly, contaminated industrial area," she said. Nancy Bell asked that the county establish "quantifi- able noise level controls. "It needs to be established to protected the local resi- dents," she said. "Please don't be the commission that causes the rape of Sumter County." Long responded that the potential air and water impacts have to be addressed in the state permits. She also contended that the county already has a noise ordi- nance that addresses opera- tions such as the proposed plant. When Mask persisted on the "real time" monitoring issue, Chandler said that most people will not under- stand it and that the county will have to have someone monitor those results. Hoffman supported Mask's idea. "If we going to be the first to do this voluntarily, then we should be the first to have it voluntarily on the web," he said. Cohrs relented, stating that he would do "the best job to get it into the system." There were also concerns about the 10-year permit period. Mask wanted a review of the permit in two years. But Long contended that the 10 years is warranted due to the millions of dollars that the company was committing to the project. Cohrs said the company is looking for a "long existence" in the county. "We will be good stewards of the environment," he said. "We are going to do the right thing." With the discussions approaching an end, Roberts moved to deny the permit, but could not obtain a sec- ond. Then, Francis moved for Carefully compare the terms If possible, shop when you and fees associated with the are rested and stores are not cards before buying. Where overcrowded. If you are tired, can the card be used? Is there hungry, and stressed, it is easy a charge for its use?

In his final arguments, Roberts cited comments about mercury emissions other contaminants that were attributed to Koogler from the previous hearings. Roberts cited acknowl- edgements that the "plume" of contaminants could spread up to 50 miles away. "If it's emitted from the stacks and settles over Coleman, Wildwood, and the Villages, it will have an impact," Roberts said. Roberts noted that the board was told in previous meetings that there are only 108 cement plants in all of the U.S. "There's a reason for that, and they (including other proposals) want us- to approve three of them," he said. "Our role is to protect the health, safety and well being of the county," Roberts said. Chandler challenged that Roberts wants more houses, bigger roads with more vehi- cles and more industry in the county all of it bringing more pollution than the pro- posed plant. "If you want to protect the environment, you need to stop all development now," Chandler said. "You can't have it both ways." But, all that is not adding something we don't have to have, Roberts responded. Francis commented that 50 percent of the U.S. concrete supplies come from outside the country. By having it pro- duced in the country, the pol- lution can be controlled, if you consider the safeguards that are being stipulated, he said. Looking at the audience, he continued his argument. "It's required by you people and me. It will bring jobs and revenue. The mercury is miniscule." "This is a good thing for Sumter County," Francis con- cluded. Hoffman was supportive of the idea of a shorter permit tem and Mask argued for the two-year term. But, Chandler contended that the 10 years is standard for mines and operations such as these. "They will invest millions," Francis said. Chandler agreed. "I don't even think they need an operating permit with all the DEP require- ments," Chandler said. "When you do several million (dollars), ten years isn't long." SS*;?S j?/6 1996 It's time to round everyone tip! Our 10 Year reunion is next year!

Device may increase gas mileage by 22 % Boston National Fuelsaver Corp. has developed a low cost automotive accessory called the Platinum Gas Saver which is guaranteed to increase gas mileage by 22% while meeting all. emission standards. With a simple connection to a vacuum line, the Gas Saver adds microscopic amounts of platinum to the air and fuel entering the engine. Since platinum allows non-burning fuel to burn, the Gas Saver 's platinum increases the percentage of fuel burning inside the engine from 68% of each gallon to 90% of each gallon, a 22% increase. Since unbumt fuel leaving an engine is pollution, this 22% of each gallon normally burns when it reaches the platinum of the catalytic converter. H o w e yth converter's platinum bums this fuel in the tail-pipe, where the heat and energy produced from this fuel cannot be harnessed to drive your vehicle. But when the Gas Saver allows the air-fuel mixture to carry the platinum into the engine, 22% more of each gallon burns inside the engine so that 22% fewer gallons are required to drive the same distance. After a five year study , the government concluded; "Independent testing, shows greater fuel savings with the Gas Saver than the 22% claimed by the developer. ' In addition to the fuel savings, the Gas Saver has received patents for cleaning out carbon and raising octane, making higher grades of fuel unnecessary for most vehicles. Joe Robinson, the developer, was quite surprised at the market research: "We have sold a half million Gas Savers. To our surprise, as many people buy the Gas Saver because it extends engine life by cleaning out the abrasive carbon as buy it to increase gas mileage or to raise octane."

From helping farmers and ranchers to providing food for residents, agricul- ture is a key in the country. That's why the local Farm Bureau hosts Farm-City Week. It's an opportunity to connect the business industry with farmers, and ranchers and show the importance of agriculture in the success of a nation. The Sumter County Farm Bureau hosted lunch in November at the First Baptist Church of Webster. Farm-City Week is designed to teach youth and adults about the interde- pendence of agriculture and industry, according to the Florida Department of Agriculture. The National Farm-City Council constantly works Brady Revels, state FFA presi- dent, served as keynote speaker for the Farm City Week event. keeps on coming Tne idea or tme luncheon is to ring me woria or agriculture ana me woria OT business togerner. Along with lunch, guests listened to keynote speaker Brady Revels focus on agriculture and Kelly Rice as he shared some statistics on Florida and Sumter agriculture. toward strengthening the bond between farms and cities. Partners in the Farm .City Week include farmers and ranchers, processors, truck- ers and shippers, advertisers, researchers, brokers and wholesalers and retailers. The nation's strength is a top food and fiber system according to the Department of Agriculture. That means an abundance of food as well as products used to make cloth- ing, housing, medicines and other items. National Farm-City Week began in 1955 with a presi- dential proclamation, pro- moted by Vermont Senator George Aiken. Each year, the event is celebrated during the week preceding and lead- ing up to Thanksgiving. The background of mem- bers who have served in the national chair position have ranged from leaders in the United States Chamber of Commerce, Ford Motor Company and Sears Roebuck & Co. to National 4-H Service Committee members, Cattlemen's Association members and Farm Bureau representatives. In Sumter County, there are 902 farms on a total of 187,373 acres of land. Total cropland is over 44,000 acres, with over 18,000 of those acres actually harvested. Most Sumter County farms are between 10 and 49 acres in size. Most than 600 Sumter farms bring in less than $10,000 annually, while 156 farms bringing in between $10,000 and $99,999 annually. Fourty-three farms bring in between $100,000 and $499,000, while another 12 bring in more than $500,000 annually. There are more than 730 cattle and calve ranches and another 330-plus ranches with hogs, sheep, poultry or horses in Sumter County. Those numbers don't include growers of citrus, nuts and other fruits. Sumter brought in over $3 million from milk produc- tion; $127,000 in nuts and berries and nearly $2.4 mil- lion from vegetable, fruit and melon production; $7.5 mil- lion in cattle and calves and an undisclosed dollar amount from poultry and eggs.

Mverr Christmas from The Safvation Amy EYour support wiltlmake a positive difference S- Your caring support is helping us to assist families like the "Harrises." The Harrises are newly wed parents who have a child with a physical disability. They are expecting another child soon. Mr Harris works full-time and is usually able to meet their usual expenses, but i expenses for their disabled child are continuing to increase and there are no funds for any Christmas i extras. Like most parents, the Harrises want their children to share in the joy and blessings of the season. We will be assisting them for Christmas with food and other items and the children will become angels on our area Angel Trees. 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 Harris family and the many families like her SUMTER COUNTY TIMES when you consider making your donation to "The Salvation Army SUMTER COUNTY TIMES Empty Stocking Fund." The funds raised through this program will help families, children and senior citizens in Sumter County. We 'are inviting you to participate in this inaugural effort.

You may make your donation on behalf of yourself or in honor of a family member or friend or a "special someone" or group that you want to be recognized.

Our dream to build an animal shelter on our 5 acres of land will one day become a reality if you choose to make a donation to the shelter fund. Any animal that the Humane Society/SPCA currently takes into its care is housed at an approved foster home. Although foster homes are ideal environments, we are limited with the number of ani- mals that we can take in. A shelter would allow for more animals to be housed under one roof, and a central location for potential adopters to soe the animals. Another advantage to having the animals housed in one cen- tral location would be that vol- unteers would be able to come to the facility to -help train, 08-SCT socialize, and play with the ani- mals. With the holidays quickly approaching, your tax- deductible gift to the Humane Society/SPCA of Sumter County will be the gift of lie for an ani- mal in need.

The weather was both good and bad with most of the g week being rainy and then when the .' rain quit in just a "' !matter of hours it - turned bark-bust- ing cold with the temperatures hov- ering somewhere around the mid twenties especially JAMIE d during the early Outdoor 'morning hours just before dawn. I don't know what the actual temper- ature was but it was cold enough that ice was spurting up out of the ground. With the unsettled weather, the deer were not moving as well as I had hoped for but early on during the hunt I managed to get a nice young yearling doe which is my first choice other than getting a sure nuffbig wall hanging tro- phy buck As you know if you read this column from time to time we' eat a lot deer around my place and a young tender yearling deer makes for some mighty fine eating especially the back straps and hams if deep fried and served right along with a big steaming pot of black beans and rice or with a pan of onion gravy spread over a bed of sticky rice. Then to a great big crockpot brim full of OFFICIAL NASCAR MERCHANDISE Hats Jackets T-sI (Hwy. 41 Al~crss From IC~irc leK gets her first deer during hunting trip deer stew ain't all that bad on a chilly day either come to think about it. During the hunt the moon was getting close to being full and the nights being on the bright side might have been one of S the main reasons that the deer were not stirring much .4 but as it turned out they were moving a little in the middle of the day and that is when most of the ADAMS club members con- r Writer nected with the few deer that were ven- turing out. I do the most of my serious hunting from a climbing tree stand and it does get cold in this type of stand if the wind is blowing any at all. When the sun finally comes out it is sure welcome and the temperature will rise just enough to make the long sitting and waiting a little more bearable. There are a lot of squirrels on our hunting lease and I like to watch them scurry around hunting acorns .or whatever squirrels eat while at the same time chasing each other all over the place. I don't know what kind of squirrels live up in that part of Georgia but there are at least two different species and one looks a lot like our fox squirrel and the other kind looks a lot like our native grey or cat squirrel. Anyway they sure help the time go by when waiting on a i The Dam Pub ~kX~ '~ex~ ~ New House Band "Southern Confort" ALL MUSICIANS WELCOME 12pm-6pm THURSDAY OPEN MIC NITE WIMAC 6 10 PM LIVE ENTERTAINMENT Every Saturday Night 7 PM "fil" _- 01 .,iO ct I. tMuiL8.- ii .

My most favorite hunting companions however are car- dinals. Cardinals are a special species of songbird and far and away my favorite. Cardinals will often start mov- ing before the break of day and you can hear them singing away. It does not matter how cold it might be if there are cardinals in the vicinity then it will not be long before they are flying around and landing in the surrounding bushes and trees. Many times I have been entertained for hours by, as many as a dozen cardinals fly- ing all around darting from tree to tree and bush to bush as they just seem to really be enjoying life. As a rule there are about as many females as there are males but the females are not near as color- ful as the brilliantly colored red males. I think I read some- where that cardinals are seed Slaughter Cows Boner 80-85% WtRange Avg Wt Price Range 930-1195 1074 43.0048.00 1205-1595 1331 43.00-48.01 1250-1550 1364 48.00-50.01 1645-1815. 1758 46.00-50,01 1900-1925 1912 50.50-51.00 Slaughter Cows Lean 85-90% Wl Range AvgWt Price Range 720-770 750 37.00-40.00 750-785 768 25.00-26.00 810-1090 933 36.00-43.50 800-1005 886 28.00-36.00 Slaughter Bulls Y.G. i Wt Range AvgWI PriceRange 1195-1460 1370 50.00-51.00 1375 1375 59.00 1000-1375 1246 45.00-48.00 1585-2020 1781 52.00-57.00 1535-1660 1598 42.00-50.00 Feeder Steers and Bulls Medium and WtRange Avg WI Price Range eaters and that is probably why they move around so much as they search for food. The highlight of this hunt was that a good friend and long time hunting buddy of mine, Justin Parish of Bushnell, joined us at the camp as a guest and he brought his eleven year old daughter Kimberly along and Kim was fortunate enough to get her very first deer. Kim has only recently learned to shoot a rifle and her dad has been spending a lot time-teaching her not only how to shoot but how to safely handle a gun at all times. Anyway, her dad was with her in their blind when several deer came into view. When one of the deer got into a good shooting position Kim took the shot and instantly she and her dad knew the deer had been hit hard and in a good vital area. The deer however as deer will often do when hit whirled and run off but in doing so left just a small amount of blood which veri- fied with out any doubt that Kim had indeed hit the deer.. 3115 SMASSEY MASSEY FERGUSON FERGUSON Tractors Loaders- Backhoes Equipment Kim and her dad picked up the trail and looked for the deer for nearly an hour to no avail and Kim was starting to get a little worried that they might not find her deer as the blood trail had vanished com- pletely I heard the shot from my stand and went to where they were searching and I could not find the deer either and we had all but given up when Justin looked off to the side of the trail we were following; there low and behold was Kim's deer. We had all walked right by it several times but it blended in so well with the vegetation that we just over- looked it. Needless to say Kim and especially her dad and the members of the camp were proud that she had got her first deer, which inciden- tally was a small buck Kim donated the back strap to the camp and we all enjoyed a fine meal of venison for sup- per on the last night of the hunt. As it turned out, every one at the camp got at least one deer and had a great time.
