County considers redistricting plan


MARTIN STEELE
Times Correspondent

Sumter County
Commissioners on Tuesday
appeared to have come up
with a redistricting plan that
the entire board can accept.
With a unanimous vote, the
commissioners agreed on a
proposed district boundary
map that still splits the dense-
ly populated Villages into two
districts and the rest of the
county into the remaining
three.
And, instead of the ongoing
haggling that came from some


of the past boards, this body
invested minimum meeting
time coming to a consensus on
the map they liked. They got
through the first part of the
process in less than an hour.
But, there is still a final
decision to be made on the
new district boundary propos-
als. That is slated for a special
meeting of the commission at
4 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 29.
There is some urgency by
the commissioners, as the new
boundaries must be approved
by Dec. 31. If the districts
aren't decided in 2005, the
board will have to wait. State
law doesn't allow redistricting


during election years.
One of the commission's
redistricting consultants,
Candy Augustine, of ENNEAD
LLC, Tarpon Springs, on
Tuesday presented the board
with three separate map
options.
In earlier meetings, their
primary consultant, Kurt
Spitzer, had described to the
board a ,process involving
adding new residential land
parcel data, existing census
data and other information
into a computer database to
come up estimates of popula-
tion density in the county.
Augustine's firm has the


map software that incorpo-
rates the information into the
maps in an apparently com-
plex process.
While some commissioners
last week questioned the basis
of Spitzer's described process
of developing the population
data, it didn't take long for
most of them to decide this
week that they like what was
identified as "Proposal
Number 1."
Commissioner Richard
Hoffman said he preferred
that one, but regretted that he
would be giving up the City of
Wildwood as part of his dis-
trict.


Commissioner Michael
Francis agreed, but also said
that Number 3 is "almost
acceptable."
Commission Chairman Joey
Chandler asked for some
changes to the southern and
eastern boundaries of District
2 his district.
The change would leave the
southern boundary of his dis-
trict at County Road 48 in the
Wahoo area. Both he and
Commissioner Jim Roberts
noted that likely no more than
30 to 40 residents would be
effected by that adjustment.
Most of the property involved
is state wildlife management


area and wetlands.
A change to the proposed
southern leg of the eastern
boundary of Chandler's dis-
trict will move it back just
slightly to the west so that
Interstate 75 would be the
boundary.
Due to the population den-
sity, the Villages preserited
some of greatest mapping
challenges, according to
Augustine.
Very simply described, this
is how the districts would
change if the map proposal is
adopted.

Elections office raises Hospice funds


The planned Lane Purcell
Hospice House is closer to
becoming reality, thanks to the
"can do" efforts of the Sumter
County elections supervisor
and her staff.
Karen Krauss and members
of her office recently present-
ed a check for $5,500 to go
toward construction of the
new facility in Sumterville. In
accepting the donation, Ted
Williams, executive director of
the Hospice Foundation of
Lake and Sumter, and Hospice
Foundation Board President
Alex Ogilvie praised the group
for its effort.
"This was completely their
idea," \Villiams said, "They
decided they wanted to do
something to help us support
patients and families facing
life-limiting illness. The3 'd
heard about our planned
Ho-pite House and made that
their goal."
KratIss picked elections
office staffer Pal Lovett to
organize a variety of t'nd-rais-
ing events to be held over a
three-month period. With a
September gospel sing as the
kickoff event, the activities
were designed to appeal to a
wide range of interests. Lo\ ett
explained.
This latest donation brings
to $1 million the' amount
raised so far to build the
Hospice House. WVilliams said.
He said a total of $2.5 million
will be needed to construct
the 8-bedroom home, which
will be built on donated land
near the Lake-Sumter
Community College campus in


Sumterville.
Hospice of Lake and
Sumter officials said the ne\\
facility is being named in
memory of Lane Purcell, a for-
mer Sumter County resident
and well-known co mmiuni it
leader. When complete, the
house will provide ia nrm. com-
fortable living accommoda-
tions and full Hospice serxic-
es for patients unable to
remain in their oMitn homes
Each patient will have his or
her own room, complete % Ith
private bath, screened porch,
bedside internet access. and
many other amenities, offi-
cials explained.
, According to Williams. the
cost of half of the home's eelht
planned patient rooms lias
already been covered bi foiur
private contributions "'We still
have many donor oppoiluni-
ties remaining,"., he added.
Rooms and other designated
areas witlithi e Hospice
House will be permanently
recognized with appropriate
plaques, Williams said.
Prospective donors are invit-
ed to call him at 352-742-6800

Death of man beaten


at jail investigated


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer.

Chuck Clemons had a drug
problem- one that landed him
in jail more than once. Little
did he know, his last arrest
would turn out to be a death
sentence.
About a week after he was
arrested for violation of pro-
bation on drug charges,
Charles "Chuck" Lloyd
Clemons was severely injured
in a confrontation at the
Sumter County Detention
Center, the event that lead to
extended hospital stays, mul-
tiple surgeries, and ultimately
to his death at the age of 42.
The death was determined
a homicide, according to the
death certificate.
Clemons, of Webster, died
August 9 at Palms of Pasadena
Hospital in South Pasadena,
seven months after the beat-
ing, a result of "complications
of blunt head trauma," having
been "assaulted by otherss)"
according to the death certifi-
cate.
While details of the January
3 altercation are unclear,
another inmate, 24-year-old
Jama Johnson, was charged
with aggravated battery with
great bodily harm for his part
in the confrontation. He was

Johnson is currently serv-

The incident occurred on a
Monday and Clemons' sister,
Janet Hays, said jail authori-
ties didn't notify her until
Thursday. She and other fam-
ily members came for
Clemons Friday, when he was
released. He had previously
been held at the jail without
bond.

Resident: blocked railroad


crossings 'dangerous'


Supervisor of Elections Karen Krauss and her staff made a donation to Hospice of Lake and Sumter counties. Alex Ogilvie,
III and Ted Williams represented Hospice. Shown, back row, left to right are: Belinda Rivera, Williams, Krauss, Ogilvie; front
row, left to right Karen Rushing, Pat Lovett, Jeannie Chesling, Marie Ogilvie, Craig Yagid. Office members raised $5,500 for
Hospice through a combination of efforts that included bake sales, a Gospel sing, raffling baskets and a jug in the office.
Because other local government offices were involved in community projects like Relay for Life and Community Angel proj-
ects, the staff stepped in to raise money for the organization of their choice.


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

A Wildwood resident con-
cerned with possible prob-
lems caused by trains stopped
for long periods of time at city
crossings brought the issue
before the City Commission
recently
Annette Colston, pastor of
Mount Moriah A.M.E. Church,
wrote a letter to the
Commission saying a city staff
member told her such con-
cerns had been addressed in
the past, but "CSX Railroad
refused to cooperate.
"The current method of
operation of the railroad
tracks running north and
south through our city and
parallel to Highway 301 is a
danger to the citizens of
Wildwood," she stated in the


Commission to

Commissioners will be meet-
ing once monthly in north
Sumter County beginning
Jan. 17, 2006.
The board will meet each
third Tuesday of the month at
the Laurel Manor Recreation

Dr., The Villages.
The meetings will begin at 5

letter.
She told the Commission
last week that she is con-
cerned about emergency vehi-
cles being able to get across
the railroad tracks to homes.
Colston requested City
Manager Jim Stevens contact
CSX "to a higher level of
authority than before."
Colston said she observed
trains stopped at the crossings
for long periods of time.
"A week ago Saturday I sat
there for 35 minutes and I
watched the (CSX) trains
(extending) two feet on the
tracks. That's all- the boxcar
doors were open- nothing in
them."
She said when she later
drove back through town the
train was still there.

She said when they arrived,
her brother was in a wheel-
chair, unable to sit upright.
Clemons spent most of the
next seven months hospital-
ized, and Hays saw her former-
ly healthy brother's condition
worsen. His weight dropped
from 170 to a mere 90 pounds.
"It was just pitiful," Hays
said.
He underwent treatments for
' hydrocephalus, or "water on
the brain," and numerous sur-
geries as medical costs piled
up. Clemons never regained
mobility.
Hays said based on com-
ments Clemons made to her,
Johnson may not have been the
only person involved in the
incident at the jail that lead to
his death and that her brother
had been working as an inform-
. ant for the Sheriff's
Department before his arrest,
though none of this information
was validated by the Sheriff's
Office.
Repeated attempts by the
Sumter County Times to con-
tact Detention Center Director
Tom Moffitt have been unsuc-
cessful. The Times left several
messages by phone during the
past week to speak with Moffitt


in regards to the incident
Meanwhile, Pete Magrino,
assistant state attorney
assigned to the case, has been
investigating since Clemons'
death. Magrino commented on
the investigation last week
from his Hernando County
office, saying he recently
received new information on
the case, but it would be inap-
propriate to say whether he
believed anyone else was
involved.
Records from the Sheriff's
Office do not point to any other
witnesses to the incident
besides Clemons and Johnson.
According to one of the state-
.ments in the Sheriff's Office
report, the other inmate in the
cell with Johnson and Clemons
stated he was sleeping when
the incident occurred.
Apparently because of
Clemons' condition, he was
interviewed four days after the
fight when he was released
from the hospital and taken
back to the jail. The investiga-
tor wrote that he saw Clemons
lying on a mattress on the floor
of a holding cell supervised by
a corrections officer.
"Mr. Clemons was lifeless
and was unresponsive to me.
We assisted him into a wheel-
chair and he was brought to a
room where I attempted to talk
to him. His speech was slurred
and hard to understand. But he
did state that he had not been

"It happens any time of the
day or evening... and I do
believe if we go to the next
level we can get some action,"
she said.
"We're not going to sleep on it
or put it on the backburner,"
Colston said.


City Manager Jim Stevens
said communications were sent
to CSX in the past but to no
avail. He called CSX "bureau-
cratically obtuse," saying the
problem was not resolved.
Commissioners agreed the
blocked crossings present a
problem.
"This has been a concern for
many years for this
Commission," said
Commissioner Ronald Allen.

in a fight with anyone," the
report states.
Despite his battered condi-
tion, the circumstances sur-
rounding Clemons' injuries
remain unclear.
Statements from four jail
employees, dated Jan. 11 and
Jan. 12, do not indicate any of
them witnessed the beating.
Apparently, a corrections
officer in a control room called
three officers who were con-
ducting a search in another
area to respond to the distur-
bance in Clemons' cell, where
he heard someone, later
believed to be Johnson, calling
for an officer.
According to the report, 14
inmates were interviewed, but
"this met with negative results
and no information was devel-
oped regarding the incident"
Clemons' death has left Hays
with questions. She wonders
exactly what happened to her
brother and how such serious
injuries could be inflicted
when he was under the jail's
supervision.
Hays said Clemons became
involved with drugs at an early
age, but there was another side
to the man she remembers- her
younger brother, a man fond of
the outdoors.
"He loved to fish and hunt,"
she said.
"I don't condone what he did,
but nobody deserves to die like
that."

was approved with a unani-
mous vote.

Wildwood Christmas spirit in full force throughout weekend


U


ROBIN EDDINS
Times Correspondent

Wildwood has the spirit and
it was out in full force on
Saturday, Dec. 17.
The Wildwood United
Methodist Church held its
annual Breakfast with Santa
with more than 50 in atten-
dance. Servers wearing Santa
hats brought pancakes and
sausage to the patrons while
others entertained the chil-
dren.
Alvin Stuart read a story of
the Nativity to the children
explaining the true meaning
of Christmas and then Santa
arrived allowing each child to
sit on his lap and then giving
each of them a present.
Meanwhile at Winn Dixie in
the Wildwood Shopping
Center, the Wildwood High
School Key Club members
took turns ringing the bells
and helping the Salvation
Army raise funds to help
those in need this holiday sea-
son.
Over at Martin Luther King
Community Park, two sisters
Jacqueline Lewis-Harvin and
Gwendolyn Lewis-Lyals head-
ed up the 3rd Annual
Destiny's Choice Christmas
Extravaganza where more
than 300 children and fami-
lies were recipients of fun,
games, food and presents.
Both the sisters run day
care centers and work closely
with children seeing a need
and acting on what
Jacqueline called a "vision
from God" the pair set out to
give something to the chil-
dren and the community.
Its first year quickly proved
they had immediately out-
grown their first home at
MADD Dad's and then moved
to the park where it was held
this past Saturday. Joined by
Pastor Tony Jones and the BW
City Ministries Jacqueline
and Gwendolyn held kickball,
basketball games and sack
races.


A train of sorts provided
rides for the younger set.
Food was provided by
Monaco Coach and Gary
Lester as well as support from
the City of Wildwood and the
mayor's office.
Tickets were handed out to
all who attended and presents
were presented to all in a lot-
tery fashion with Pastor Jones
calling the tickets numbers.
Even the inclement weather
did not deter the patrons from
having a good time even when
they were all crowded under
a tent during one the cloud
bursts that tried to no avail to
ruin the day.
Also given out that day were
85 bicycles provided by the
Sumter County Sheriff's
Office and many a child was
made happy by this gesture.
* There were raffle tickets
available to purchase with the
proceeds going to help an
"adopted" family have a great
Christmas as well.


Antonay Harvin, 8, and Makiya Owens, 2, await their turns to ride the All American Express around MLK Community Park.

Horses great therapy for SCARC


Nov. 9 was a first for many
of the clients at SCARC
(Sumter County Association
for Retarded Citizens). It
was the first time most of
them ever had a close up
personal experience with a
horse. And they loved it.
There were two groups of
participants, those who
wanted to ride and groom
and those who just wanted
to groom.
Carol Hughes, director of
the Equestrian Therapy
Program (POSSE) at the
Hernando County ARC, says
there's a lot of therapeutic
benefit for the handicapped,
just in patting, grooming and
loving on the horses. And the
horses willingly oblige.
Beethoven, a 30-some-
thing draft horse crossbred,
lowered his huge head,
closed his eyes and just
seemed to be dreaming, pos-
sibly of his younger days on
the show circuit, when such
grooming was a daily rou-
tine. By the time the morn-
ing was over, about 12 partic-
ipants had groomed him
shining clean and he even
seemed to have a bit more
.bounce in his step.
"I think the grooming is as
therapeutic for the horses as
it is for the handicapped,"
stated Patti Graves, a local
horse trainer whose son par-
ticipates in the equestrian
therapy program in
Hernando.
"It's a win-win situation. A
couple of older, bomb-proof
horses that aren't capable of
hard work anymore but still
have a lot of love and riding

in them will have a great
home and SCARC clients
will enjoy equestrian activi-
ties on a daily basis year
round," said volunteer Darla
Huddleston.
According to NARHA,
(North American Riding for
the Handicapped
Association) for individuals
with disabilities, equine-
assisted activities have been
shown to improve muscle
tone, balance, posture, coor-
dination, motor develop-
ment as well as emotional
well being.
SCARC recently pur-
chased seven acres of land,
just east of Bushnell. The
goal, in addition to building
a new training center for
regular, daily activities at
SCARC is to provide a facili-
ty for clients to participate
in equine activities daily,
year round.
The plan is to build a barn,
arena, tack room and pad-


docks to accommodate two
horses. "It's a huge under-
taking, but when you see
those huge smiles of delight
on the faces of these partici-
pants, you know it's worth
the effort," says Marsha
Perkins, SCARC executive
director.
A farrier has already vol-
unteered his services and
others are beginning to offer
goods and services to help
get the program up and run-
ning.
The one-day ride event
was made possible because
of the volunteer efforts of
the Son Coast Cowboys for
Christ chapter, the Saddle
Blister Sisters Riding Club
as well as members of the
Lake County Mounted Posse
and owners of Our Father's
Haven Bed and Breakfast in
Bushnell. For more informa-
tion or to volunteer, please

Smog County?


he idea of representative govern-
mnent is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

It would be really great if that's the
way it worked all the time. It just seems
lately that some of the people
we're electing to serve us for-
get who they work for when
they get into office. Often, we
have a majority of county f
commissioners serving
developers instead of the
people they represent. )
The Sumter Board of I ..-
County Commissioners
recently OK'd an operating
permit for a proposed
cement plant, one of three
proposed in the county. AMA
Commissioners Joey MI
Chandler, Michael Francis,
and Richard Hoffman voted
for it, Jim Roberts and Randy Mask in
opposition. I
Frankly, though, they all deserve a
great deal of criticism because all five
jumped on board when, Mazak's mine
applied for a conditional use permit for
a differentcemient plant
Tins is getting ridiculous. There 'are
only about 100 portland cement plants in
the entire country, and we are looking at
three in our backyard.
Commissioners are sending a pretty
clear message: Welcome developers and
industrial giants. Sumter County is yours
for the taking.
They've approved this while hushing
the voices of pleading constituents with
environmental, health, and economic
concerns right there in the Commission
Chambers. We doubt they're losing any
sleep over it.
Francis is quoted in last week's edition
of the Times as saying, "The mercury is
miniscule," referring to the potential
amounts of mercury introduced into the
environment by cement manufacturing.
That's nice to know. We already have fish
in our lakes we can't eat, so what's the
harm in introducing a little more?


A
lil


What apparently is miniscule, howev-
er, is the collective conscience of this lit-
tle trio when it comes to mining and
cement manufacturing issues.
He concluded by saying the cement
plant is a good thing for
Sumter County. What would
really be good, Mr. Francis, is
if we had commissioners who
actually cared enough about
the people's concerns to sac-
rifice any revenue this might
bring in.
And we really have to won-
der if Chandler's professional
changes have anything to do
with his voting record. He
recently dropped his career
NDA as a Sumter Electric employ-
MS ee to go into the homebuild-
ing business and he's been a
firm supporter of mining and
cement manufacturing..
Ironically, his platform has been one of
restoring Lake Panasoffkee and "to see
Lake Panasoffkee returned to the fishing
paradise it once was." Was that with or
without mercury-contaminated fish, Mr.
Chandler?
And then there's Mr.: Hoffman. It's not
surprising that someone in stppoilt of a
colossal developer and development
(The Villages) would support the local
manufacturing of a key material for
home construction. It must help that
most of the potential pollution and other
nasty characteristics that can accompa-
ny cement plants would largely affect
those outside of the area where he lives
and the people in his district It'd be
interesting to see how he'd vote if a pro-
posed cement plant or mine abutted The
Villages.
These three are in the hot seat now,
but all five County Commissioners
opened Pandora's box with Mazak's con-
ditional use permit
It all just makes us wonder what the
driving force is behind these decisions
and some of our representatives.


SCARC offers
thanks to church
For everyone at SCARC. INC., we want
to express our gratitude to the.Bushnell
Full Gospel Assembly of God church for
another \-ondertil Thanksgiving meal.
For a number of years you have gra-
ciously invited us to enjoy the delicious
food and beautiful decorations, hosted
by the charitable members of your con-
gregation. This is also a special thanks to
Liz for her hard work and dedication in
ensuring that this lovely event takes
place each year.
We all had a wonderful time and thank
you again.
Julie Snyder
Thank you
Commissioners
The Board of Directors and members
of the Humane Society/SPCA of Sumter
County want to thank the Sumter County
Board of Commissioners for approving
the funds for, and directing the start of
construction of both the much needed,
hew, animal control shelter and the
repair of the existing facility with its
emergency addition.
Commissioners Chandler, Roberts,
Francis, Hoffman and Mask should be
commended for their actions to protect
the safety of the animal control person-
nel and the animals in their care. In
addition, the Commissioners have
shown proactive fiscal responsibility by
providing the citizens of Sumter County
increased essential services at this time.
Hats off to commissioners who will
stand up to the plate when necessary.
JudyHogan, Chairman
Humane Society/
SPCA of Sumter County


Pet owner or
pet lover?
Are you a pet owner or a pet lover?
There is a big difference. People who are
owners only are missing the fun and hap-
piness of seeing their animals happy and
non-suffering. As for me, I'm a lover as
well as an owner.
In hot summer weather or cold winter
weather, we hope that good care is give
to our animals' comfort. To forget their
well being is greedy, inhumane and crim-
inal. There is a law against animal cruel-
ty, and we should all be aware of this and
report it immediately
Tying an animal in the hot weather
without tree comfort and water as well
as using a very short leash is torture.
Tying an animal in cold or rainy weather
without shelter is also against the law.
We should be reminded that our animals
love attention and want to please their
owners but cannot speak for themselves.
This is our responsibility.
Please have all pets neutered since it
is an investment that we cannot afford to
dismiss. We are the losers whenever we
ignore living creatures.
When I arrived home last Saturday at
9 p.m. on my private road, there was a
white dog and several cute brown pup-
pies that had been abandoned. There
was no shelter and no water nearby, and
it was a cold night I was very upset and
began calling for help. Thankfully, the
mother dog and puppies' picture
appeared in the newspaper. Also, a won-
derful report regarding the county com-
missioners' decision to appropriate the
needed money for a new humane society
building was a bit of Christmas and New
Year cheer for me.

County law paves
way for developers
On Dec 16 the Rinker Corp with-
drew its request to proceed with a
rehearing of its 4-1 loss on Oct 11 of
its goal for county approvals for
three new mine pits adjacent to its
existing Center Hill mine. As you
know, my wife and I filed suit to
block this rehearing, and recently
received the support of the owners
of the Stuart ranch, the mine's 8,000
acre neighbor to the north, who
also opposes issuing a CUP for
these mines.
Commissioners, previous boards
brought this law to our county you
didn't! The law is a shameful
dinosaur yout inherited when you
were elected. It's in there solely to
benefit developers. Once it is read
and understood, it's offensive to
any fair-minded American. Is this
la\ your idea of fairness? Look at
th is : : 1-. .. .. ............
Only a developer never an
opponent gets chances for a-
rehearing What happened to equal
opportunity why can't a develop-
er's opponents ask for a rehearing
if they're unhappy? A sweet deal to
give a developer an extra advan-
tage, con riesy'of the county. Double
jeopardy, Sumter County style!
No grounds for the rehearing are
required. Go to 4 court, you need to
state the exact reasons you believe
you were unfairly treated, meet the
requirements of the court. But for
the county, anything will do the
developer just has to ask!
It encourages corruption of the
process. This does not mean any-


one is accusing any commission-
er(s) of corruption, it simply means
that it encourages an unhappy and
defeated developer to lobby com-
missioners without the opponents
being present to voice a counterar-
gument for a revote for rehearing.
It encourages private one-sided
presentations to commissioners by
developers in a short time line
arena. Votes can be easily swayed
this way, as we have just seen.
Commissioners, Rinker has done
us all a favor. By withdrawing from
the hearing of the 20th, the issue
now is not Rinker, it is the law
itself And just because Rinker is
gone for now, we will not withdraw
our suit it's an unconstitutional
law, let's be rid of it!
This case will soon come up in
the court, and absent a decision by
the commission to fix this, county
taxpayer dollars will soon be spent
to defend this law. Yes, the county
Tiill have to-oppose the petitioners.
argue to the judge that the county
likes the law, wants to keep the law,
thinks it is justifiable. etc. Absent
your action to order the county
attorney not to defend this suit, this
is what will happen.
Is this something you will be
proud of seeing? Is this your idea of
county government for the people
who elected you? Spending our tax
dollars to keep bad laws on the
books for the benefit of future
developers? You represent us,
Commissioners not developers.
My challenge to you: Will one of
you step up to the plate, introduce
the matter at a board meeting, and
seek the three votes necessary to


strike this law, its related clone law
in the land use regulations, and any
others like it. Commissioners, show
us what you're really made of,
make us all proud of you, tell devel-
opers they have equal, not superior
rights, just like the rest of us.
Just one hearing fellows, no more
legalized double jeopardy in
Sumter County! Unhappy develop-
er? Unhappy opponents? Too bad -
the loser can go "tell it to the
judge!" Hearings are expensive,
the county, spends taxpayer assets
to hold these things, you commis-
sioners should hear a matter once,
not be manipulated into multiple
hearings.
You are our elected leaders the
county attorney works for you, not
the other way around. The proper
and legal routes exist for you to
make these changes in county law.
It's up to.you to move to begin the
housecleaning, rather than waste
taxpayer dollars defending a la\v
that is blatantly unfair and uncon-
stitutional.
If on the other hand, you like
these laws and endorse them, if
special privileges for developers is
your idea of good government, then
your vote will identify you to the
voters, and the voters can send the
appropriate signals your way. Some
people think changes are coming,
long overdue. I sure hope so.
Let's see who stands up for the
taxpayers, and who stands up for
the developers.

Elderly man
drowns at
River Junction
AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

An elderly Dade City man
was found dead on Dec. 14 at
a usual fishing spot at River
Junction in the
Withlacoochee State Forest in
southern Sumter County.
James Moody, 75, was
reported missing at 7:23
Wednesday evening, after his
wife and daughter discovered
his truck, walking cane, and
saw his bait floating in the
water, but could not find him,
according to Sheriff's Lt.
Bobby Caruthers.
Forest rangers and Fish
and Wildlife officers
searched for Moody with
Sumter Sheriff's deputies for
about an hour, until his body
was found on the opposite
bank from where his truck
was parked at campsite num-
ber 16.
A forest ranger who was
assisting in the search spotted
a dark object on the east bank
he could not identify, he said.
"He walked downstream
and crossed by way of a fallen
tree," he said. Moody was
found partially in the water
under some brush, he said.
"It was apparent to detec-
tives he fell in for some rea-
son, and drifted with the cur-
rent to the other side,"
Caruthers said. Moody had
high blood pressure and was
unable to lift his arms over
his head, but was otherwise
healthy, he said.
Moody left his home at two
o'clock that afternoon, and
family members started to
worry when he did not return
at 5.
"Evidently, it was one of
(Moody's) favorite spots to
fish," Caruthers said.
The Sumter Sheriff's Office
dive team search was can-
celed before divers entered
the water.
Moody's bbdy was taken to
the medical examiner's office
for an autopsy, which could
reveal the approximate time
and cause of his death.
Caruthers said there were no
witnesses to the. apparent
drowning.

Your Support Wifa Make e a *Positive D is rence

-We continue to hear that this is "The Most Wonderful Time of
the Year" and your caring support is making it possible for
many families to enjoy the blessings of this Christmas
season. Your caring support is helping us to assist families
like the "Stavvords". The Stavvord family is made up of a
loving mother and five growing children ranging in age from
three to thirteen years. The husband has deserted the family
and child support is very inconsistent. Mother works small
jobs so she can be at home for her children. The only general
help they have is a small amount of food stamps. Ms.
)Stavvord has not asked for help before and is now only
asking for help so that her children will have something for
Christmas. We will be assisting them for Christmas with food and other items and the children have become
angels on our area Angel Trees. Your support is what makes it all possible. Please consider helping the
Stavvords and the many other families who are asking for help at Christmas, as you consider making your
donation to The Empty Stocking Fund.
It is the loving help of our community supporters that makes 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 Stavvords family and the many families like them when you consider making your
donation to "The Salvation Army Empty Stocking Fund". The funds raised through this program will help
families, children and senior citizens in Sumter County. We are inviting you to participate in this inaugural
effort. Below is a coupon you may complete and mail to The Salvation Army at P.O. Box 25, Bushnell,
Florida 33513, along with your donation. You may make your donation on behalf of yourself or in honor of a

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


Aside from the requirement that all funeral homes be
licensed by the state, some basic questions you might ask
when selecting a funeral home include: Are they flexible
enough to handle your specific needs? Are decisions made
locally or from an. out-of-town corporate, office? Are they
full service? Do they sub-contract services such as
cremation or do theyprovide these options on-site?
Everyone has different priorities and questions about
funeral pre-planning. We invite your questions and we

Learning God's word, one verse at a time


Her name was Sarah and
she was old, but not too
old to eavesdrop on the
three men talking with her hus-.
band.
He was old too.
The men had just
popped in for a visit
- these particular
men generally don't
call ahead; they just
show up unan- -4
nounced with mes-
sages that tend to
knock the socks off
people.
As they shot the
breeze with Sarah's NA
old man, one of the KEN
men said he would
come back about the
same time the following year to
see the baby.
The only snafu there wasn't
a baby, and being up there in
age and all, the prospects of one
were slim to none. Not that they
hadn't tried....
Sarah just laughed at the
absurdity of the idea.
Then the man who had been
doing all of the talking- who, it
turned out, happened to be God
- asked, "Why did Sarah
laugh?"
Then God added, "Is anything
too hard for the Lord?" (Genesis
18:14)
He had also said the same
thing hundreds of years later to
a young Hebrew prophet
named Jeremiah.
"I am the LORD, the God of
all mankind. Is anything too
hard for me?" (Jeremiah 32:17)
I'm telling you this because
it's that time of year when God
directs my attention to one
scripture verse for me to focus
on for the following year.
In 2005 my focus has been "Be
still and know that I am God"
(Psalm 46:10), which, frankly,


-N
IM
r


I've failed at miserably. I was
and am still anything but still.
However, even if I haven't
been still, I saw God being God
innumerable times
in the situations in
which I was and con-
tinue to be the most
unstill.,
There's a scrip-
ture that says even
when we are
unfaithful God
remains faithful.
Likewise, when we
are unstill, he is still
God and will be God,
NCY which is awesome to
NEDY contemplate. .
In the weeks lead-
ing up to learning
what my 2006 verse would be, I
was a bit anxious thinking that,
because I had flunked stillness,
I would be subjected to a do-
over or a remedial scripture
year. If I were God, I would put
me in some' sort of spiritual
time out until I was Marines-at-
attention still, no matter how
long it took.
Then I started thinking about
some situations that trouble me,
and as I began being as unstill
as a person can get think of a
5-year-old the day after
Halloween on a Snickers, Baby
Ruth and Pop Rocks sugar high
and as I began to fear God
chasing after me with a giant fly
swatter or butterfly net, I
remembered the story of Sarah,
and especially the words of her
holy visitor: "Is anything too
hard for the Lord?"
I know the answer is no, but I
started to count on my fingers
all the things I thought (and still
think) might be too hard.
I'm not going to tell you what
they are, but just think of the
things that keep you awake at
night and insert them here.


Chances are your stuff is similar
to my stuff. There really is noth-
ing new under the sun.
Then God directed my atten-
tion to something Jesus once
told his dearest friends just as
he was getting ready to die. He
told them, "Let not your heart
be troubled, neither let it be
afraid" (John 14:27).
In 2005, my verse turned out
to be a sort of "buy one, get one
free" deal with the gospel words
of Jesus, "Come to me all you
who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest," added
on to the command "Be still."
Likewise, in 2006 it looks like
I get another double deal "Is
anything too hard for the
Lord?" and "Let not your heart
be troubled," which makes
sense. If there's nothing that's
too hard for God then I don't
need to let my heart be trou-
bled.
It sounds simple enough. At
least I have a whole year to put
it into practice. Also, I've
noticed that with each passing
year, the scriptures I've concen-
trated on seem to build on each
other:
"God is able to do immeasur-
ably more...the wind of the
Spirit moves...with God nothing
is impossible.. .he is God...he
gives rest.. .be still...nothing's too
hard for him."
So, let not your heart be trou-
bled.
PS. Sarah had a baby boy.

their facility.
Earlier this year, the County
Commissioners allocated
$400,000 to build a new Animal
Control facility, but over the past
couple of months, plans were
being made to extend the anti-
quated pole barn, making more
outside runs for the dogs. The
addition was going to cost a con-
siderable amount of money, and
the fear was that a large portion
of the $400,000 would be spent,
leaving the long awaited new
building on hold again.
The Humane Society/SPCA of


Sumter County, along with many
concerned citizens from the
north .end of the county all the
way to the south end, voiced
their concerns to the
Commissioners. After touring
the facility, a representative
from the Humane Society of the
United States came down from
Tallahassee, willing to speak to
the Commissioners. But at the
County Commissioners Meeting,
we all received a huge surprise
when the Commissioners voted
to continue to build the new
facility with the $400,000, and

then allocated an additional
$157,000 for the extension of the
pole barn. We were speechless!
We want to publicly commend
the new Board of County
Commissioners for their deci-
sion and for hearing the citizens.
We thank each Commissioner
for their foresight, their under-
standing, and their commitment
to serving the citizens of Sumter
County. We all look forward to a
facility that the county can be
proud of, and that is safe for both
the county employees and the
animals.

Last minute


holiday ideas


he holidays are upon
us and some indi-idu-
als are planning last
minute shopping trips tfor
gifts and doing last
minute baking.
I want to share /
with you a few M
ideas that might
help in the f'rustra-
tion of trying to
decide what to get
that person that
has everything. t
Prepare an herb
basket filled with a
mixture of herb
blends, and a vari- MAI
ety of herbs. You MAI
can also make per-
sonnel care prod-
ucts using herbs to make a
lovely basket.
Call your local extension
office at 352-793-2728 and ask
for the "Spice It Up the
Healthy Way" brochure to
obtain recipes and tips for
making salt free blends.
Also a mixture of coffee,
tea and hot chocolate in a
basket with a mug is a great
gift idea.
You could even specialize
with a mixture of coffees,
mug and a box of cookies.
To design a tea basket and
variety of different tea
blends a tea strainer, mug,
and bottle of honey for sweet-
ener.
A hot chocolate basket
could include varieties of hot
chocolate, mugs, marshmal-
lows, or marshmallow cr6me.
peppermint and cinnamon
sticks for flavor, and a pack-
age of chocolates to complete
the prefect gift for any choco-
late lover.
Another idea is to take a
variety of baked goods andi
prepare a lovely basket or
box filled with all the goodies
to give individuals.
A few quick recipes are
included in this article.
If you're individual like to
write letters purchase
stamps, stationary and pens
to make a lovely gift that will
be very useful.
A family scrapbook or
scrapbook of the grandchil-
dren is always a good gift
idea.
Of course you can always
purchase a gift card to your
individual's favorite store.
I hope these ideas and tips
are useful and save you time
this busy holiday season.
Now here are some deli-
cious quick sweets you can
make that will add ,a special
touch to any gift you give this
season.

Students place in Native American art contest'


A Native American art con-
test was held at the
Affirmative Action
Committee at the Coleman
Federal Correction Complex.
Webster Elementary School
students who placed in the
competition were Katie
Branch first, Karen Cortes -
second and Tyler Yates -
third.
The theme was "Our Bridge


to the Future."
It was the fourth annual art
contest to celebrate the
November Native American
Commemorative Month.
Branch drew her image of
Sunset a Native American
girl, admiring the rug she has
finished weaving.
. Branch chose the colors by
thinking of berries and plants
in nature that Sunset might


have used to dye her thread.
The picture represents the
joining of nature and Native
American.
Sunset is portrayed as
beaming with joy over the
work.
Cortes drew Native
American girls in a blanket of
flowers, with birds flying
freely over head. The picture
is full of colorful details and


depicts friendship and appre-
ciation of nature.
Yates drew a Native
American village with bright
colors and geometric shapes.
The hunters in the picture
treasure the land and put
great value on the turkey they
brought back to feed the tribe.
The smoke from the sur-
rounding campfires appear
like a staircase to the sky.

Langley partnership planned


Thomas E. Langley
Medical Center and Quality
Health Plans, a Medicare
Advantage Plan for Medicare
i beneficiaries, are pleased to
announce that they have
partnered together.
Quality Health Plans,
recipient of the HeathMetrix
J Seniors' Choice Award for
2003, 2004 and 2005 and
Thomas Langley Medical
Center say this partnership
will give Sumter and Lake
Counties residents the
opportunity to take advan-
tage of Quality Health Plans
great and affordable medical
and prescription program.
Thomas E. Langley
Medical Center, the largest
provider of JCAHO accredit-
ed ambulatory healthcare in
Sumter County, has serviced
the Sumter and Lake County
areas since 1972.
Langley Medical Center's
desire to deliver quality care
in the most efficient manner
lead them to partner with
Quality Health
Plans and attempt to
answer the growing demand
for an alternative to tradi-
tional Medicare.
The zero premium
Medicare Advantage Plan
offered .by Quality Health
Plans will allow Medicare
Beneficiaries to save the
costs of traditional Medi-
gap/supplemental programs
and help curb ever-increas-
ing prescription drug costs.
Quality Health Plans is a
federally funded Medicare
HMO, meaning anyone cur-
rently receiving Medicare
Part A and B benefits and not
diagnosed with ESRD can
enroll:
Thousands of Sumter and
Lake County residents have
taken advantage of Quality
Health Plans' Advantage
Silver Plan that has no addi-
tional plan premiums, other
than what they already pay
for Medicare Part B.
In 2006 Quality Health
Plans will offer a low premi-
um plan option, Advantage
Gold Plus.
The Medicare Advantage
programs feature low physi-
cian co-payments, and addi-
tional benefits such as
*Prescription drug coverage,


Eyeglasses, Hearing Aides,
Dental and more. Medicare
Advantage plans offer these
benefits while eliminating
the need to pay the monthly
premiums for Medicare
Supplements.
Members of the Plans are
only responsible for low co-
payments when they receive
care.
Quality Health Plans
believes strongly in the con-
cept of "preventive medi-
cine" and the Plan benefits
are designed to assist mem-
bers in getting the preventive
services that are not covered
by traditional Medicare.
Quality Health Plans' Chief
Executive Officer Courtney
Browning, MBA, CPA says,
"Quality Health Plans is very
impressed with the fine med-
ical providers in Sumter and
Lake Counties.
The partnering of Quality
Health Plans and Thomas E.
Langley Medical Center is
something the residents of
Sumter and Lake Counties
have been asking for and we
are proud to be associated
with such a great organiza-
tion."
Thomas E. Langley
Medical Center representa-
tive, Everett Kelly, CEO
added, "We at Langley strive
to provide quality affordable
health care for our patients
and therefore we are excited
to be associated with Quality
Health Plans who espouse
the same philosophy. We see
a continued great service for
the health care needs of
Sumter County and the sur-
rounding communities."
Quality Health Plans is
currently enrolling patients
in Sumter and Lake
Counties. Current patients of
Thomas E. Langley Medical
Center can enroll with
Quality Health Plans as of
Nov. 15 and begin enjoying
the benefits effective Jan. 1.
QHP is currently servicing
thousands of satisfied mem-
bers in several counties in
Florida.

learning more about the
exciting benefits we have to
offer, should call Quality
Health Plans toll free at 1-

Pastor Chuck Padgett, on the scissor lift, was busy raising
money at the Wal-Mart in Leesburg last month. Every year
Padgett climbs aboard a sign lift and spends an entire week up
in the air to fund reaching into the world with the Gospel mes-
sage. During the week, he had congregation members helping
him out passing him food and water and talking to folks who
dropped by to make donations and learn more about the proj-
ect. Some of those congregation members are shown here.They
are Vernon and Jackie Stephenson.

"Hydro," a very special Labrador retriever finishing training


First of all, my most
favorite holiday,
Christmas, is coming
around this week and I hope
and pray that you
and your family -
have the very best
Christmas ever. N*
There has been a
lot of negative junk
written in the news-
papers and on the
mainstream TV
media' about
Christmas this sea-
son and it has been
way over stated that
the use of the word JAMIE
Christmas offends Outdoo
some people. Oddly "
enough, I have not
run across anyone whatsoev-
er that has been offended by
using the wonderful word
Christmas and I bet you all
haven't either.
Good friends, for my part, I
am going to keep on enjoying
my Christ's birthday celebra-
tion the same old way I always
have and hope you do too.
Christmas is a joyful and very
special time and I refuse to let.
anyone, anyhow throw a wet
blanket over the wonderful
cheer and blessing I feel at
Christmas time.
Talking about having a good
time, this past weekend Shug
and I joined Randy and
Patricia Burns as they trav-
eled down to Lithia, which is
close to Brandon, which is in
turn real close to Tampa. The
reason for our get together
and trip was that Randy and
Patricia have a brand new
Labrador retriever puppy of
which they are both very
proud. Their new puppy's
name is "Hydro.".
I have long been a serious

duck hunter and since Labs
are famous for being one of
the best duck retrievers my
ears perked up when Patricia
first told me she
and Randy had a
new Lab puppy and
it was undergoing a
few months of seri-
ous hands on train-
ing at an obedience
school down in
S Lithia.
Hydro's name
was chosen
because Labs have
a notorious love for
ADAMS the water. The pup
)r Writer is nearly eight
" months old and is a
picture of health
and energy. Hydro has been
undergoing several month of
intense hands on training at
the Chesagrove Kennels in
Lithia conducted by Shirl and
Phil DeVore and is getting
pretty close to finishing the
obedience school. Chesagrove
kennels is where Hydro was
born.
Along with training all types
of shooting dogs, Shirl and
Phil also breed several differ-
ent kinds of shooting dogs.
Hydro is a direct descendant
from one of their champi-
onshil bloodlines.
With this in mind, Patricia
invited me and Shug to go
down and watch Hydro go
through some of his final
training exercises this past
weekend.
As mentioned I have been
around a lot of Labs and many
other different breeds of out-
standing duck and goose
retrievers over the years but I
had never actually seen a new
puppy being trained to be a
retriever.


Most of the time I just see
the finished results from
within a duck blind as I
enjoyed hunting and watch-
ing the retrievers go about
their work. I had not a clue as
to how the retrievers had
reached the stage where they
could perform so well follow-
ing their master's vocal and
distant hand signal com-
mands as they went about
retrieving duck and geese and
many times finding crippled
duck or geese that without a
well trained retriever could
not possibly have been found.
Hydro is really taking to his
training well and in fact I
believe he could be taken
duck hunting now especially
if he went along with and
older well trained retriever.
Shug and I watched as
Hydro went through his daily
training session with both
Randy and Patricia giving the
voice and hand commands
and he obeyed them all as he
went about retrieving the
practice ducks just as if he
had in fact been doing it for
years.
The obedience training
school that Phil and Shirl
operate starts a new puppy off
right and quite frankly they
do not coddle a new puppy
The dogs are expected to
mature and. not be fearful so
that when they reach maturity
they will be capable and fully
expected to respond to all of
the commands both vocally
and those give by hand by the
owner.
The training takes a lot of
time and the trainer must
have tons of patience as they
slowly teach the new puppies
what is to be expected of
them.


(DLWUWL-. Duo (DOD

Sunshine Jiffy Oil Lube


The owners of the puppy
must also work closely with
the trainer as they too must
also learn how to communi-
cate and control their new
puppy as it learns what will
be expected of it.
The training does not hap-
pen over night even though
many species of dogs such as
a Lab like Hydro are born
with many of the necessary
traits that will help them per-
form the many different tasks
that will be expected of them.
Labs as a rule. are loving
dogs and they excel even
more if the owner displays
kindness and pleasure at
watching them work in the
field.
Any dog can be trained to
perform the task that they
were bred to do and all it real-
ly takes is real patience and
understanding from the train-
er and then plenty more of the
same by the owner on down
the road as the dog and owner
bond.
Anyway, Hydro is well on
the way to becoming a num-
ber one retriever and even if
he does not get to hunt ducks
too much he still has the
training to" be what ever.
Randy and Patricia desire
him to do. Randy and Patricia
can look forward to many
exciting years as they watch
Hydro mature and become a
close.part of their family.
Should you perhaps get a
new sporting breed puppy for
Christmas or some other time
in the future you might want

ter, which spilled over into
the 2nd quarter.
The 2nd quarter began with
the tie still in effect. Carlos

cient defensemen as well as
an aggressive offensive play-
er for the Raiders. With 4:57
left in the half the Raiders

Terry Mobley's accurate 3

put a 2 point led for the
Raiders. Darrell Davis got 2
foul shots; making both of
them he tied the game mid-

in.
Late into the 4th quarter,
the score was 54-51 with
South Sumter lead with only
minutes left in the game. The
Raiders made shots until the
last second, particularly Marc
Stephens who made shots in
the end. Stephens even made

then Pasco getting 1 point
ahead. In the last seconds the
Pirates put a lay up in and
with 25 seconds left the

quarters the Pirates ended up

games."

HOLIDAY CELEBRATION Santa makes early stop in Bushnell


1/ Photo by Amanda Mim
Bushnell streets surrounding First Baptist Church were transformed into Bethlehem as members
portraye.4the first Christmas and the birth and life of Jesus for the church's yearly living nativi-
ty. Te Wevent was held Saturday and Sunday evening and typically attracts thousands of people.



Living nativity in Bushnell portrays


first Christmas for passing drivers


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Cars ined. up on Main
Street in Bushniell Saturday
and Sunday night, and fami-
lies waited 'in line to get a
glimpse of what it might have
looked like some 2,000 years
ago on the very, first
Christmas.
Some holiday events focus
on Santa, but the First Baptist
Church of Bushnell's living
nativity tells the story of the
birth and life of Jesus Christ.
The many scenes through-
out the display were acted out


over and over as each car,
passed along the roads sur-
rounding the church.
Members, dressed in realistic
period costumes, brought pas-
sages from the Bible to life.
In one scene, a man led a
donkey through a crowded
market as a child selected
fruit from a merchant. An
innkeeper was perceptibly
telling Mary and Joseph there
was no room at the inn for
them.
Candles lit the way and chil-
dren could be seen smiling
and pointing out car windows
as others read Scripture that
was posted on signs through-


out the nativity.
It took viewers from Mary
and Joseph's arrival in
Bethlehem to the birth and
life of Jesus, the Last Supper,
Crucifixion, and
Resurrection.
Possibly the most powerful
scene was of the Crucifixion,
where there were actors on
crosses, mourners crying out,
and a man cracking a whip.
Driving through the nativity
takes about thirty minutes
and costumed members of the
church wait at the end to give
thanks to those who attended,
wishing them a merry
Christmas.


Even in the dreary weather,
a crowd of eager children with
parents and grandparents
lined up beside the South
Sumter High School Christmas
tree on Saturday evening wait-
ing to see Saint Nick during his
yearly visit to Bushnell.
He was right on time, and
came into town in his usual
fashion with Sumter County
fire trucks announcing his
arrival.
Christmas carols rang out
from speakers out by the tree
as excited children waited in
line.
From kittens to Barbie dolls,
gift requests were in abundant
supply, and Santa seemed glad
to hear them all.
A few children were too
nervous or shy to speak to him,
but most were eager to let him
know of at least one special
item on their Christmas list.
One little girl, 2-year-old
Abigail Stewart, asked Santa
Claus for toys. When he asked
which toys she wanted, she
replied, "all of them."
One by one, each of the chil-
dren made their way to the
front of the line to Santa's lap,
and for every child there was
an early Christmas treat-
paper bags filled with-toys and
candy.
The weather was cool after a
long rainy day, but there was
enough hot cocoa around to
keep visitors warm.
Plenty of work goes on
behind the scenes to help
make Santa's visit to Bushnell
possible.
Fred Dietz, 74, has been
working to coordinate the
event for 30 years. He said usu-
ally there are a few hundred
children waiting for Santa
every year.
Even though the weather
seemed to deter many of the
usual visitors, there were still
plenty of children and
requests to keep Santa busy
Santa hasn't missed his stop
at the South Sumter High
School Christmas tree since he
started coming there many
years ago, no matter what the
weather or circumstances.

PUBLIC NOTICE OF INTENT
TO ISSUE AIR CONSTRUCTION PERMIT

DEP File No, 1190041-001-AC (PSD-FL-358)
Sumter Cement Company, L.L.C.
Center Hill Cement Plant
Sumter County

The Department of Environmental Protection (Depart-
ment) gives notice of its intent to issue an Air Construc-
tion Permit to Sumter Cement Company to construct a
greenfield portland cement plant In the City of Center
Hill in Sumter County. A review under the rules for the
Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality
(PSD) and Best Available Control Technology (BACT)
determinations were required for nitrogen oxides
(NOx), sulfur dioxide (S02), volatile organic compounds
(VOC), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter
(PM/PM10). The applicant's name and business ad-
dress are Sumter Cement Company, L.L.C., Post Office
410, Branford, Florida 32008,

Sumter Cement Company (SCC) proposes to construct
a dry process portland cement plant with a nominal
capacity of 1,715,500 tons per year (TPY) of clinker. The
equipment will Include: a primary crusher and convey-
ance equipment to transport limestone to raw material
storage; a raw material storage building for limestone
and materials containing silica, alumina, iron, and ad-
ditives; stickers, reclaimers, and conveyance equip-
ment to raw materials drying and milling; a homoge-
nizing silo;, a dry process preheater/calclner (PH/C) kiln
with in-line raw mill capable of producing 5,000 tons
per day (TPD) of clinker; a clinker cooler; a coal and
petroleum coke mill; conveyance equipment to clinker
storage; conveyance equipment to the two finish mills;
cement silos and a truck loadout area; and a pack-
house. Numerous baghouses will be included to con-
tain dust ', :'r. ril-oil. : :.-. once, transfer and han-
dling. A i.gie 10D, 3 c. r3r,:. will serve exhaust from
the PH/C kiln, raw mill, and clinker cooler.

The heat necessary to convert the raw materials to
clinker will be provided primarily by coal and petrole-
um coke combustion in the main kiln burner and calci-
nation burner. NOX emissions will be minimized by indi-
rect firing in a Low NOX main kiln burner, staged com-
bustion in the calciner, and a selective non-catalytic
reduction (SNCR) ammonia injection system. S02 emis-
sions will controlled by use of inherently low sulfur raw
materials, scrubbing by finely divided lime In the calcin-
er, and hydrated lime Injection system. CO and VOC
emissions will be controlled by promoting complete
combustion In the kiln and calciner and minimizing car-
bon and oily content of raw materials. PM/PM10 from
the PH/C kiln, In-line raw mill, and clinker cooler will be
controlled by a single large fabric filter baghouse. Emis-
sions points from handling, conveyance, and transfer
will be controlled by baghouses. Emissions from raw
materials piles, loading operations, transportation, etc.
will be controlled by reasonable precautions including
paving, road sweeping, watering, planting grass, etc.

The SCC Plant will be subject to the maximum achieva-
ble control technology (MACT) requirements in
40CFR63, Subpart LLL National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants for Portland Cement Manufac-
turing Industry. In addition, the plant will be subject to
the Department's determination of best available con-
trol technology (BACT). The BACT determinations for
the PH/C kiln, in-line calciner, and clinker cooler are:
1.95 pounds of NOx per ton of clinker (lb/ton); 0.20 lb
SO02/ton, 2.9 lb CO/ton, 0.115 Ib VOC/ton; and 0.17 lb
PM/PM10/ton. The BACT determinations are among
the lowest emission limitations among recent determi-
nations In the state and the country.

Mercury (Hg) emissions will, be limited to 184 pounds
per year. Initially compliance will be conservatively es-
timated based on the concentration of Hg In the fuels
and raw materials entering the process. The Depart-
ment has determined that by the second year of oper-
ation, reliable mercury continuous emission monitors
(Hg-CEMS) will be available and requires that a
Hg-CEMS be Installed to measure actual emissions. This
Instrument together with another planned in Sumter
County represent the first two Hg-CEMS installations re-
quired at any facility in the State of Florida. They also
represent the first two Hg-CEMS monitors required at
cement plants in the United States.

The Department reviewed the applicant's ambient air
quality analysis for CO, NOx, S02, VOC and PM/PM10,
pollutants subject to PSD for this project. All pollutants
were less than their respective Significant Impact
Levels for the Class II area (i.e. all areas except for the
Class I Chassahowltzka Wilderness Area) except for
PM/PM10 on a 24-hour and annual basis. Therefore, a
refined Increment modeling analysis, including nearby
sources, was required for PM10. The results of this anal-
ysis are given In the table below. This refined analysis
demonstrated compliance with regulatory require-
ments which include demonstrating compliance with
the ambient air quality standards.

Averaging Time: 24-hour
Maximum Predicted Impact ug/m3:29,-7,,.
,Allowable Inc rment ug/m3: 30
C- ompliance with Increment: Yes
Percent of Increment: 99%

Averaging Time: Annual
Maximum Predicted Impact ug/m3: 7
Allowable Increment ug/m3: 17
Compliance with Increment: Yes
Percent of Increment: 41%

All pollutants were less than their respective Significant
Impact Levels for the nearest Class I area (the
Chassahowitzka Wilderness Area located 61km from
project) therefore, a refined multi-source increment
modeling analysis was not required. Based on the re-
quired analyses, the Department has reasonable assur-
ance that the proposed project will not cause or signifi-
cantly contribute to a violation of any ambient air
quality standard or PSD increment.

The Department will aacet written comments con-
cerning the proposed ,.rii issuance action and re-
quests for a public meeting for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of publication of "Public Notice of
Intent to Issue Air Construction Permit." Written com-
ments should be provided to the Department's Bureau
of Air Regulation at 2600 Blair Stone Road, Mall Station
#5505, Tallahassee, FL 32399-2400. Any written com-
ments filed shall be made available for public Inspec-
tion. If written comments received result in a signiflcdnt
change in the proposed agency action, the Depart-
ment shall revise the proposed permit and require, if
applicable, another'Public Notice.

as required by Rule 28-106.301.

Because the administrative hearing process is designed
to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition
means that the ..,.: ,m.-~.-.i final action may be dif-
ferent from the ,:..:.:I.i:'. rxi.-, by it in this notice. Per-
