Bushnell teen Kathryne
Wilkinson thanks God for a
local sheriff's deputy.
The deputy rescued the 17-
year-old from a burning car
when she crashed off County
Road 468 in Wildwood Sept.
11, 2007.
Fortunately, sheriff's
deputy Edward Lorentzen, 25,
was driving by and was within
75 feet of her car when she
crashed.
"I'm very, very blessed. I'm
very thankful. I know God put
him there," said Katheryn,
who goes by her middle name,
Linzi.
"The fire could have easily


(spread) ... the car would've
exploded and I would've
died."
No one knows why the 1999
Volkswagen Beetle she was
driving went off the road and
struck a power pole; Linzi
said the car suddenly jerked
to the right and she couldn't
stop it.
The car landed on the pas-
senger side and left Linzi in
between the console and the
passenger side, Lorentzen
said.
"When I got out of my patrol
car, the first thing I noticed
was the front of the car caught
on fire," he recalled.
"I ... tried to open my eyes
and looked around and
freaked out," Linzi said.
"There was smoke every-


where. I was looking for my
phone, trying to call my mom.
"I was trying to get out but
didn't know how."
Lorentzen grabbed a fire
extinguisher and was able to
put out most of the fire right
away.
"It suppressed most of the
fire but not all of it," he said.
The fire was.not completely
extinguished until firefighters
arrived.
Then, he heard a voice call-
ing for help.
"I think she heard me out-
side of her car using the fire
extinguisher," he said.
"I heard a female voice
yelling for help. I looked
through the windshield of her
car and I seen her waving at
me."


Linzi remembers frantically
calling for help.
"I saw the deputy far away
from me ... with the fire extin-
guisher ... I yelled, 'Please get
me out, please get me out,'"
she said.
He went around the live
power lines that were lying on
her car and moved the wind-
shield, which was broken.
Lorentzen then got Linzi out
of the car.
Soon after, Lorentzen's lieu-
tenant, emergency medical
services, and firefighters
arrived at the accident scene.
So did Linzi's parents, Kathi
and Terry Wilkinson, who
were working at nearby Grace

While plenty of
folks are
watching,
there's a mystery in
Bushnell that no one
seems to want to delve
into at least not too
deeply.
Those same folks who
are watching are even
laughing, possibly adding
to the situation, but no
one's giving anything
away.
It's. all about a one-
legged pink flamingo that
seems to find a new spot
for pecking every few
days.
The only problem is,
the flamingo is plastic
and he's grazing on the
Sumter County
Courthouse lawn.
One day, it was near the
north side parking lot,
the next closer to the
front of the building.
It's similar to a series
of mysterious flamingo
flock-ins that occurred a


few years ago around
Bus nell.
That case involved sev-
eral local Sunday school
class members.
Evidently, the flock
would suddenly appear
in one of their yards,
always increasing their
numbers.
Whil this flamingo
hasn't b ought along any
friends yet, the crew at
Herb anri Peg's restau-
rant on the Bushfiell-
Plaza, said he's waitingN
for his penguin that will
keep him company.
They're the group who
determined the flamingo
is a "he." They also think
he needs some brothers
and sisters. /
"We've been watching
him," said Peg McGowan,
owner of the restaurant.
While they said they
definitely don't know
where he came from or

One Wildwood drug bust leads to another


Illegal drugs with a street
value of $35,000, cash and a
handgun were confiscated
during a drug bust at a
Wildwood home on Jan. 10.


BOB REICHMAN
Editor

A Wildwood drug bust on
Jan. 3, led local police authori-
ties, with assistance from the
Citrus County Sheriff's Office,
to make a second bust in the
city on Jan. 10 resulting in the
confiscation of illegal drugs
with an estimated street value
of $35,000.
Operating as the Sumter
County Drug Task Force, offi-
cers of the sheriff's office and
the Wildwood Police
Department made two arrests
at a Wildwood home, at 1211
Whitaker Road, confiscating
cocaine, marijuana,
hydrocodone, a handgun and
drug-related items, according
to sheriff's Lt. Bobby
Caruthers.


During a search of the resi-
dence and a vehicle belonging
to one of the suspects, several
items were seized
including eight pounds
of marijuana, a quarter
pound of cocaine, 42
grams of hydrocodone,
drug packaging materi-
al, electronic scales,
$4,265 and a loaded .45-
caliber handgun, he
said.
Two children found
in the home at the time Di
of the search were turned over
to family members.
The arrests were made as
the result of an undercover
operation and joint investiga-
tion launched in August 2007,
Caruthers said.
During the investigation,
Wildwood resident Charles

Tabernacle, where Terry is wor-
ship pastor and Kathi is the chil-
dren's pastor.
(Before Linzi knew Lorentzen
was there, she called her moth-
er, told her she'd been in an
accident, to come and get her,
and she was OK).
"They didn't know how seri-
ous it was because when I called
them, I was trying to be not so
shaken up so they wouldn't
worry.
"When they saw me, I was cry-
ing. There was blood every-
where. They were shocked."
Lorentzen estimated the
entire ordeal, from the time
Linzi's car went off the road
until emergency workers
arrived, lasted all of five min-
utes. A few days later, when
Lorentzen visited Linzi and her
family on his day off, she was
fine, though she said she still
has occasional neck pain.
At last week's County
Commission meeting, Lorentzen
was honored by the sheriff's
office for his acts with the Medal
of Distinction.
"We're very proud of Deputy
Lorentzen," sheriff's Lt Bobby
Caruthers said later.
"Law enforcement officers do
brave and courageous things on
a day-to-day basis and it's not
often that we get to acknowledge


their deeds."
"I was really glad that they
were doing that for him," Linzi
said about the medal.
"That's truly not enough for
what he did.
"I'm very thankful and I just
feel like he was sent by God for a
reason."
She suffered whiplash and
"minor cuts and scrapes," as she
described them, and didn't stay
overnight in the hospital.
"It was just a miracle that I
was OK," she said.
"He was the only one on the
road before anything hap-
pened, when I was just driving
along. I know that it was just a
gift from God that he was com-
ing. I know he was there for a
reason."
At the time of the accident,
Linzi, a home schooled high
school senior, was leaving the
church and on her way to dance
lessons. By the next week, Linzi,
who wants to become a dance
instructor, was back dancing
again.
No one can figure out what
caused Linzi's car crash, her
mother said, but her parents
thank God for protecting her.
"We were just very thankful
God took care of her and got her
out of that situation," Kathi said.
Looking at the accident scene,
"You would never think she
would've got out of that
"There's no other reason for
her to be fine."

Park residents want to improve i


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

A December fire that
claimed the home of a couple
at Oaks RV Resort and the life
of their dog has brought to
light the fact that park resi-
dents don't have 911 address-
es.
Hundreds of residents
there and at the neighboring
Red Barn Campground near
State Road 48 in Bushnell
participated in two informa-
tion sessions with Sumter
County Fire Rescue last week
to find out how to make the
park safer and learn things
they can do to help in case of
another fire.
In the December fire, the
man and woman who lived
there were rinot- home;, and
other park residents called
911 to report the fire.


Firefighters had the
address of the park and a lot
number, but the hundreds of
lots and numerous streets
within the Oaks and Red Barn
apparently made it difficult
for firefighters to find the
home.
Oaks resident Helen
McHugh, who helped organ-
ize the sessions, told the audi-
ence of about 200 residents
Jan. 11 the purpose of getting
together wasn't to complain,
but to educate.
"They made mistakes, we
made mistakes. "We're all
here to learn," she said.
All the park has to do to
change the residents'
addresses is write a letter
requesting it, Brad Burris,
deputy chief of Sumter
County Fire Rescue, told the
audience.
The difference in residents'
current addresses and a 911


address is the 911 address
does not use the park address
with a lot number. Rather, res-
idents would have their own
physical address within the
park
"I strongly recommend that
you seriously look at doing
that," he said. "All they have
to do is write us a letter."
Once they receive the
request, it wouldn't take long
to make the change, accord-
ing to Burris.
He told residents to "tell
them exactly where you live,"
when calling 911, not the
address or name of the park
"It's a big park," Burris
said. "When you have to go
hunting for it, (finding the
fire) is kind of hard."
During the question-and-
answer part of the session,


tire satetyi
residents mentioned two fire
hydrants in the park area that
Burris said he was not awar4
of.
Burris said hydrants are
provided by the city qf
Bushnell, and "Sometimet
communication is not the be*
between the fire departmertt
and the city."
Residents also discusse
designating individuals t
meet fire trucks at the
entrance in case of a fire.
But Burris said they woul~l
need a clear, organized plan
they chose to do that.
At the end of the session,
organizers planned to hanl
out Vials of Life, plastic bag%
kept inside homes that holoI
forms identifying residents
well as important medical
information.

The Florida Department of
Children and Families has fined
a Bushnell day care that allowed
a 3-year-old to wander a quarter-
mile away from the facility in
December.
The center is being fined $500,
according to DCF spokesman
Tim Bottcher.
"We thought the fine was the
most appropriate action here.
"This was a serious situation,"
he said. "The risk to the child
was clear and disciplinary
action was absolutely required."
However, Bottcher said the
facility "does not have a history
of any major violations."


The incident happened Dec.
17 at Mid-Florida Early
Childhood Education Center,
403 S. Lincoln St.
Calls to the center and to
Michael Georgini, director of
Mid Florida Community
Services, were not immediately
returned.
"We became aware that on
Dec. 17 ... a child had wandered
away somehow from the facili-
ty," Bottcher said.
A motorist discovered the
child on Seminole Avenue and
called police, according to
Bushnell Police Chief Joyce
Wells.
Earlier, Bottcher said action
against the facility could range
from a reprimand to shutting


down the center.
But "Closing down a facility is
not something taken lightly"
He said the center will have to
comply with a corrective action
plan DCF is imposing.
"We also have drawn up a cor-
rective action plan to make sure
this doesn't happen again at the
facility."
The plan will ensure "facility
personnel are familiar with
security and safety require-
ments," he said.
"We'll be working with them to
make sure they are complying
with that corrective action
plan."
There are 16 children
enrolled at the center, according
to Bottcher.


Fire dept to bill residents' insurance


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Sumter County Fire Rescue
has a new revenue source: the
department will soon be billing
drivers' and homeowners'
insurance companies for its
services.
County commissioners
approved an ordinance Jan. 8
setting fees the fire department
will charge insurance compa-
nies.
The list of about 40 different
fees insurance companies are
to be charged includes cost of
the tanker, $500 per hour, set-
ting up a helicopter landing
zone, $550, and various costs for
personnel and consumables
like foam, latex gloves, and gog-
gles.
The company the county will
use, Advanced Data Processing,
Inc., will charge the county 20
percent of what it collects from


insurance companies.
That's all-inclusive. There
are no other charges," said Fire
Chief Bill Gulbrandsen.
Commissioners said county
residents would not be charged
if their insurance does not pay
the claim.
However, non-county resi-
dents will be billed if their
insurance companies do not
pay, as would commercial oper-
ators.
"I believe we should bill
them," said Commissioner
Doug Gilpin. "They don't pay
county taxes. They're using
county services. In my mind, it
makes sense."
County Administrator
Bradley Arnold recommended
sending homeowners a notice
when the claim for a structure
fire is submitted, as well as
whether or not the claim is
paid.
"That contractual relation-
ship is between that homeown-


er and that insurance compa-
ny," Arnold said.
"They need to know whether
that insurance company is pay-
ing that claim or not"
Advanced Data Processing,
Inc. representative Donald
Passaro said the fire depart-
ment's claims alone would not
cause insurance rates to go up.
"In the case of a structure fire
... this kind of claim is not going
to (cause the rate to increase)."
The ordinance will be effec-
tive Feb. 1.

Does the property tax


amendment fill the bill?


lorida's presidential primary
is just around the corner -
but there is something else
on the ballot that strikes even clos-
er to home a state constitutional
revision which is supposed to bring
property tax relief. But will it result
in a significant enough reduction
in taxes to warrant an amendment
to the Florida Constitution?
There are four sections to the leg-
islation. It could double your
homestead exemption. The stan-
dard $25,000 exemption stands and
an additional $25,000 exemption
would apply to the value between
$50,000 and $75,000.
What would that mean for a
Sumter County homeowner? The
most a homeowner would save is
$151.
Here's how:
The first $25,000 of a home's
assessed value is exempt The next
$25,000 is taxable.
So, owners of homes valued at
$50,000 or less would not see any
changes.
If the amendment is approved,
the savings would vary for homes
valued between $50,000 and
$75,000. The maximum savings any-
one would see would be on homes
valued $75,000 or more.
For homes valued at $75,000 and
up, the savings would be $151 using
this year's property tax rate, 6.0563
(school taxes not included; school
district taxes would remain
unchanged).
It would make the Save Our
Homes cap on tax increases
become portable, up to $500,000. If
you move to a more expensive
home the entire dollar amount
would transfer to the new house. If
you go to a less expensive bunga-
low, a percentage of the dollar
amount will follow.
Those who pay tangible personal
property would be exempt on the
first $25,000 worth. And non-home-
stead property owners will get a 10
percent yearly cap on assessment
increases.
So how much of a break does
Constitutional Revision Article VII


give to Florida residents?
Really small businesses would
get a bit of a break on tangible
property, but $25,000 doesn't cover
very much equipment. And a 10
percent cap on future assessments
isn't much of a discount on non-
homestead property. Nor is it much
incentive for buyers of investment
homes or to encourage businesses
to expand in a real estate market
that is trying not to hit bottom.
A savings of less than $200 for a
homeowner with a $100,000 house
doesn't mean much whether they
are struggling or comfortable with
their finances. But future buyers of
expensive homes could benefit sig-
nificantly.
And what will happen if the revi-
sion passes? Local governments all
over the state are anticipating loss
of revenue, have made some cut-
backs and are preparing to make
more. Will county commissions
have to create more municipal
services taxing units to offset the
loss of ad valorem taxes, like
they've had to do for schools, and
other services like roads in some
communities?
All in all, it doesn't look like
much of a solution for taxpayers -
especially without legislators pro-
viding alternative means to pay for
services that residents already
expect, and demand will increase
for, if growth continues even at a
slower pace. So, it may be a good
idea not to approve this proposal.
For one thing, if it fails there is a
provision at the end that puts the
issue on the November ballot.
If voters approve the property tax
revision on Jan. 29, they will be
stuck with it, as politicians will
have little incentive to improve it
with yet another constitutional
amendment sometime in the
future. Should less than 60 percent
of Florida voters approve the bill,
the message has a chance of inspir-
ing legislators to improve the
amendment for the general elec-
tion and provide ways to make up
the tax deficit that cuts will create.


Where is
God
God where are you? Why is it so
hard for the working class? Why do
your rich get all the gravy?
I worked for forty-five years in the
machine shops in this country. It was
all under-time study. This is where a
man times you while you're working
and figures out a time it takes you so
you can work on your job.
I worked for the Falk Corp. in
Milwaukee, Wis. The man timed you
and figured a rate on each piece you
make. They gave you a rate and then
you worked. I worked hard all my life
and hard too.
The Falk Corp. in Milwaukee, Wis.,
was where I worked. I was a good
worker. Then I was drafted in the
Army. I was sent overseas, was
shipped overseas into the Army. I was
one of the lucky ones. I came home in
one piece. I gave my all for my coun-
try.
After 45 years I retired and thought
I had it nice now. With a wife and
three children, I thought it was nice


then. Then for the next forty years we
had a nice living. Now boom every-
thing changed. Prices started to go up
and up.
They made good money on the
working class. The thanks we get is to
work hard for the boss, and every-
thing in food and house and clothing
and everything else, the price goes up
and up.
What's with the government? We
pay the taxes and the rich collect the
money.
I went to the dentist today. For one
small filling they want $100. I can't
afford this. I guess I will just let my
teeth rot. That will make the rich
happy.
I wonder if God has a special place
for the rich. Do they take their money
with them?
God help us working class. We can't
have a good living anymore.
Do we get punished for the rich
people?
I go to church every Sunday. I usher.
Where does it get me? Where is God?

Kudos to the editor
At Tuesday night's County
Commission meeting, during the
Public Forum, a man asked the
County Commission to put a referen-
dum on the ballot to divide Sumter
County. The response was a resound-
ing no. The comment by
Commissioner Breeden was the high-
light of the discussion. Mr. Breeden
was highly insulted that a person not
living in Sumter County, namely the
editor of the Sumter County Times,
would have the audacity to come to
this county and incite the people here.
Well, he is right It is highly insulting
that an outsider is the only person
who has the courage and integrity to
uphold the "freedom of the press."
The Sumter County Times is the only
paper in the area that will print let-
ters to the Editor who's opinion does
not agree with his.
It says a lot about a community
where there is no freedom to express
an opposing opinion. It says a lot
about a place that must depend on an
outsider for insight into what is hap-
pening in our own community. It
makes you wonder just what else is
happening that goes unreported in
our community.
Thank you Bob Reichman, for hav-
ing the courage and insight to keep
alive the freedom of the press. If it
takes an outsider to see past the rhet-
oric and wake the citizens of Sumter
County to see the things that are real-
ly happening here, more power to
you.
Lucille Shoup
Wildwood
County representation
For a long time I've seen the obvi-
ous fact that many citizens in our
county have been unhappy with coun-
ty events. Since it appears that a
major problem is that we in the non-
Villages part of Sumter are not really
represented by votes or by commis-
sioners, I first thought a solution
could be to change our area from One
Sumter back to our own commission-
er for our own district, like others are
thinking of and trying now. But when I
learned that the request for such a
change had to be brought before the
commissioners, I gave up on that idea
as a solution.
Then the idea came to me that since
there were irreconcilable differences


between the Villages section and the
rural section of Sumter, separation
could be a good solution to stop the
problems. County lines were changed
years ago. The Florida Dept. of
Community Affairs stated Article
VIII, Section 1 of the Florida
Constitution states that the Florida
Legislature may create, abolish, or
change county lines. In a law adopted
in 1853, the Legislature created
Sumter County out of a portion of
Marion County. The boundaries of
Sumter County are set forth in section
7.60, Florida Statutes. The Florida
Legislature's Online Sunshine web-
site located at www.leg.state.fl.us con-
tains links to the Florida Constitution
and Statutes."
Also "In 1871, the boundary
between Polk and Sumter was
altered. "In 1872, a portion of what
had been Sumter County was annexed
to Orange County. On May 27, 1887, a
third county was created in this area.
Lake County ... was created from por-
tions of Sumter and Orange counties."
(From "Lookin' Back," a special pub-
lication by The Sumter County
Times).
So county lines could be legally
changed now, as well. Each section
could manage their own affairs with
their own votes and their own com-
missioners. However, again I was told
that the rural section would be a weak
county, so I gave up on that as a solu-
tion. However, a weak county or a
weak section, at least in a weak coun-
ty citizens would have their votes and
concerns recognized.
I think many people hope and pray,
as I do, that good people can find a
good solution for our county's prob-
lems. Possibly one that only our sec-
tion needs to vote on. And possibly
one that can be done without needing
the commissioners' approval.
Whatever good solution is found, we
all would like to be justly considered
and represented in a decent honest
way, so there is a sense of good will
and respect for all of Sumter County's
citizens and their wishes.

Choosing a president?
To be anointed by a board of direc-
tors, C.E.O. candidates must outline
their plans for accomplishing their
objectives. No one gets chosen by
trashing opponents, rehashing their
resumes or mouthing platitudes about
themselves as agents of change! Each
candidate should answer these four
pivotal questions! How would your


administration: (1) Stop the influx of
illegal immigration, (2) Place Social
Security and Medicare on sound
financial footing for future genera-
tions, (3) Stop the economic hemor-
rhaging from our imbalance of trade,
especially with China and (4) Exit Iraq
with honor?
Clichds or platitudes such as
changing Washington, doesn't cut it
"When I'm sworn in, I will bring our
troops home" doesn't cut it. "I have so
many ideas for this country, and I just
don't want us to fall backward as a
nation" doesn't cut it. "The politics of
hope, not fear" doesn't cut it! They are
all bullfog. Only interested in your
plan to achieve the above four objec-
tives!

Report on Amendment 11


Amendment 1, the proposed consti-
tutional.amendment on Florida prop-
erty taxes, does not target relief to
those who need it most, perpetuates
an inequitable system and .exacer-
bates the tax shift to those taxpayers
who have suffered the most This is
the conclusion of Florida TaxWatch,
which today released its analysis of
the amendment that will be consid-
ered by voters on Jan. 29.
The report, "Amendment 1 on
Property Taxes Is Not True Reform
and Is Likely to Do More Harm than
Good," reveals a serious flaw in the
amendment that would allow local
governments to immediately recoup
any lost revenue that taxpayers would
gain under the amendment
The report also states that the
"portability" provision may well run
afoul of the United States
Constitution, according to the expert
constitutional advice commissioned
by the Legislature. Further, Florida
TaxWatch warns that passage of the
amendment could mean the end of
true property tax reform.
"Florida can, and must, do better,"
said Dominic M. Calabro, president
and CEO of the nonprofit taxpayer
research group Florida TaxWatch.
"Sound advice for amending the con-
stitution is 'when in doubt, leave it
out.' For Amendment 1, we are con-


vinced it is more than just doubt.
There is plenty of evidence that this is
not the right thing for Florida's tax-
payers and economy."
The new property tax amendment
falls far short of what is needed,
according to the report There are a
number of reasons why:
The plan gives most of the relief
to those who need it the least (long-
term Save Our Homes property),
while giving very little to those that
have seen their taxes rise the most
(non-homestead property)..
It will perpetuate the current sys-
tem and exacerbate the shift of tax
burden from homestead to non-home-
stead property. It will also continue to
shift tax burden to new homeowners.
While some solution to portability
is needed, there are serious constitu-
tional concerns about providing it
The 10 percent cap for non-home-
stead property is so high as to be of lit-
tle value to most properties.
The $9.3 billion five-year taxpayer
savings estimate is likely overstated.
The proposal does not restrict local
governments' ability to increase mill-
age rates to recoup revenue losses,
thereby lessening the savings for
some and shifting more tax burden to
others.
And perhaps most importantly, if
the voters approve this new amend-


ment, future attempts to reform nonw
homestead property taxes will bj
extremely difficult.
The report also includes assess-
ments made by legal and economic
experts who were hired by thj
Legislature to advise it on property
tax issues. A legal expert warns of
"100 percent certainty" of a constitute
tional challenge to the amendment on
the grounds that portability violates
the U.S. Commerce Clause.
"This proposed amendment will
make a bad situation worse," saf
noted economists who are quoted in
the report. "It is a cure worse than the
disease."
"Undoubtedly, Florida's property
tax system is in desperate need of
reform," said Kurt Wenner, Florida
TaxWatch Director of Tax Research"
"Unfortunately, the Legislature's
need to pass something people will
vote for, coupled with a sincere desire
to help Floridians who cannot afford
to move because of higher taxes,
resulted in a proposal that is not only
unsatisfactory but also likely to be
detrimental."
MEDIA NOTE: Dominic M.
Calabro and Kurt Wenner will be
available for interviews Friday, Jan.

United Daughters of Confederacy collect can goods to help needy


The United Daughters of
the Confederacy met on
Saturday, Jan. 12, at the home
of Fairrell Jacobs in
Montverde.
We gathered can goods (9
pounds 1 ounce) to give to the
First Baptist Church of
Bushnell to help with the
feeding of 8 to 10 needy fami-
lies in the area.
The chapter collected can-
celled stamps, Campbell soup
labels, pennies for the
Children of the Confederacy's
scholarship fund and nickels
for education.
President Joyce White read
a message from the desk of
the President General, Janice
K Langford, who encouraged
us to be team players. Our rit-
ual was lead by Chaplain
Carolyn Shaw. Southern
Poetry was read by Mary
Harrison, "Quilt" and "My Old
Hat" written by members of
the Pensacola Chapter.
Reports were given and two
prospective members brought
their papers for membership.
Jessica Hoag and Debra
Riddle. Papers were also
turned in for membership to
the Children of the
Confederacy, Emory and
Emma Strickland.
( The program was given by
President Joyce White on
!"Black Comrades Who
Attended UCV Reunions".
There were somewhere
between 25,000 and 90,000
blacks that went to war on the
side of the Confederacy dur-
ing the War Between the
'States.
It was later that the govern-
ment officials considered
enlisting and arming slaves as
soldiers. It would have added
an estimated 300,000 fighting
pen to the ranks and possibly


turned the tide. There were
few mustered in and many
went with their masters and
served as body servants,
cooks and foragers.
There are many stories of
bravery where the black com-
rades rescued the white sol-
diers from the battlefields
and cared for them until help
got there.
Those left at home fought
with the old, women and chil-
dren and they used knives,
hatchets and even hoes to
defend the homes from the
Union invaders.
Great affection was shown
between the white soldiers
and the blacks who served
together.
The Union troops who
encountered them did not
understand why a black per-
son would help to perpetuate
slavery. They did not under-
stand they were loyal to their
homelands and thought of the
Union troops as invaders.
The black comrades,
whether mustered into serv-
ice or not, were welcomed
into the United Confederate
Veteran Camps and the local,
state and national
Confederate Veteran
reunions. They were treated
with respect and friendship
and many of the white sol-
diers owed their lives to the
black soldier. Many of the
black comrades received pen-
sions for their service in the
War Between the States.
Members and prospective
members will be bringing
items to send to soldiers in
Iraq at our next meeting.
Meeting closed with the
singing of "Dixie" and "Old
Folks at Home." The next
meeting will be at the home
of Peggy Sloan, Groveland,
Lake County.


Carol Murray Tomlinson Granville Beville Chapter No. 2234 Bushnell historian.

Black, Susan Shelton, Mary Harrison, Belle Phillips, Jewell Stansell, Kathy Black, Doris Smith. Second row: Carolyn Shaw. First

Some helpful tips to lowering your cholesterol level


The American Heart
SAssociation statistics
report that about 34.5
million American adults
have cholesterol
levels of 240 mg/dL ....
or higher. This high
level is at the point
which it becomes a
major risk factor for
coronary heart dis-
ease and stroke.
Your total choles-
C terol should be
below 200mg/dL,
and your HDL
(good) cholesterol
should be 40 mg/dL MA
or higher. Your eat-. MA
ing habits affect
your cholesterol so
it! is fairly easy to lower your
blood cholesterol by eating
more foods low in saturated
fat and cholesterol and cut
down on high fat ones, espe-
cially those high in saturated
fats.


TOGE


'R
S


Here are a few guidelines
to help you with some simple
daily guidelines: Eat at least
five servings of fruits and
vegetables every
>-, day. Eat six or
more servings of
cereals, breads,
pasta and other
whole grain prod-
ucts. Eat fish,
poultry without
skin and leaner
cuts of meat
instead of fatty
ones. Eat nonfat or
1 percent .milk
RTHA dairy products
DDOX rather than whole
milk dairy prod-
ucts. Enjoy 30 to 60
minutes of vigorous activities
on most days of the week.
Watch your caloric intake by
eating a wide variety of foods
low in saturated fat and cho-
lesterol and maintain a
healthy weight

An exercise program is an
important factor in lowering
your blood cholesterol how-
ever sometimes it is hard to
get motivated. Here are a few
tips to help you get started.
When you exercise wear
comfortable clothes and
sneakers or flat shoes with
laces. It is important your
feet are comfortable. Start
slowly and gradually build up
to 30 minutes of activity each
day. If you do not have a full
30 minutes do two 15-minute
sessions. Exercise at the
same time of day so it
becomes a regular part of
your lifestyle. Drink a cup of
water before, during and
after exercising (but check
with the doctor, because
some people need to limit


their fluid intake). Check
with your doctor before you
start any type of exercise pro-
gram. Ask family and friends
to join you and this will help
you be more likely to stick
with it Use a variety of exer-
cises to keep your interest
up. Walk one day, swim the
next time, and then go for a
bike ride on the weekend.
Join an exercise group,
health club or exercise pro-
gram at work, church or sen-
ior center. Don't get discour-
aged if you stop for awhile,
just get started again gradu-
ally and work up to your old
pace. Do not engage in any
activity that causes chest
pain, shortness of breath,
dizziness or lightheadedness.
If these happen, stop what


you're doing right away.
Remember not to exercise
right after a meal, when it's
very hot or humid or when
you do not feel up to it.
Now that you have started
some type of exercise pro-
gram let's look at your
lifestyle and use these guide-
lines to make some lifestyle
changes. Ask your physician
or healthcare professional to
help you with nutrition
advice. Learn to read food
labels so you'll be able to tell
how much fat, sodium and
other ingredients are in your
diet. Keep a diary of all your
nutrition and physical activi-
ty efforts.
When you have successes
write them down and it will
encourage you to continue


with your good habits. Talk to
your physician if you feel you
are not making progress and
they should be able to help
you figure out why your
progress is slow.
The main steps to remem-
ber in lowering and main-
taining a healthy cholesterol
level is watch you're eating
habits, exercise, make some
lifestyle changes and follow
doctor's orders.

Give blood, a gift that is truly from the heart


It's me, Daisy. This is my
"Oops I'm sorry" face. I
made a mistake last week
when I wrote the Critter
Chatter column.
The great restau-
rant I went to was
The Whistle Stop in
Bushnell. It was for-
merly Cross Tracks.
By the way, I give
The Whistle Stop a
"4 Paw Prints"
, approval for wel-
coming well-
behaved dogs, a
friendly atmos-
phere and delicious
food. u
Now read on LG
about Sumter G
DART, and how you
can help animals in
disasters.
The Sumter DART (Disaster
Animal Response Team) will
hold its first meeting of the
year on Feb. 7, at 6:30 p.m. at
Sumter Cremation Service,
680 E. Southland Ave. (Hwy 48
E.) in Bushnell. Visit our web-
site at www.sumterdart.org or
call 352-793-9117 and ask for
Ronnie, Daniel, or Linda for
tihore information.
This is your chance to learn


about the DART team and
decide if you would like to vol-
unteer to help animals in dis-
asters or emergency situa-
tions. Along with experienced
animal handlers,
we are looking for
I people with a wide
range of different
skills such as:
truck and trailer
drivers, handy peo-
ple, mechanics,
clerical skills,
laborers, etc.
You may have
dogs or cats of your
own, and your
knowledge can
NDA help others in
ALVES emergency situa-
tions. You may
have resources
such as a livestock or a flatbed
trailer, portable corals, chain-
saws, etc., that you would
make available to be used to
help disaster victims. If you
are in fairly good health, and
have a willingness to help
people and their animals
when disaster strikes, you
need to attend this meeting.
The Sumter DART volun-
teers are all dedicated people
who understand that our ani-


mals are family members too,
and they also need help in dis-
asters. Training is mandatory
to respond to disasters, and
our local DART team will be
scheduling different training
functions throughout the year.
You will learn what training is
required to respond to local,
state, and national disasters.
You may want to be a team
member of Sumter DART, but
you are unable to respond to
disasters. We still need you!
You can help prepare and
pack supplies before the vol-
unteers are deployed, and you
can help unpack and clean
equipment when they return.
Clerical and secretary skills
are needed right here in
Bushnell.
The Sumter DART team
welcomes anyone who has felt
compelled to help animals in
disasters or emergency situa-
tions. Become a Sumter
DART volunteer and know the
rewarding feeling of reuniting
a family with their beloved
pet, or saving the life of an
injured or abandoned animal.
Know that you did your part
in making a difference, and
shared your compassion by
helping others.

Millions of lives are saved
each year by blood transfu-
sions, and these lives depend
on the generosity of blood
donors. This group of life-
savers is fairly small, being
less than 10 percent of the
populations, but their impact
is enormous. LifeSouth is giv-
ing the community the chance


to join this group when they
team up with St. Lawrence
Catholic Church to host a
blood drive on Sunday, Feb.
17. Look for the bloodmobile
at 320 Dade Ave. between the
hours of 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.
There will be a Spanish-
speaking representative on
the bloodmobile for those who


are more comfortable answer-
ing questions in Spanish.
Donors will receive a recogni-
tion item, and a complimenta-
ry cholesterol screening as a
thank-you for helping keep
the blood supply safe.
For more information,
please call toll-free (888) 795-
2707.

Museum from Org s Lsee eet


Brandon Grady and Thomas Clark try out the hand-made wood-
en folk toys.


Logan Simmons and Ditrek Begin are washing clothes.


On Thursday Jan. 10, the
Lake Panasoffkee Elemen-
tary cafetorium was bustling
with excitement, but kinder-
gartener Abigail Bazycki was
kneeling over a small pan and
didn't seem to notice. She was
intently swirling the gravely
water around, looking for the
golden specks that would
pave the road of her dreams.
"It's gold! It's gold!" she
cried out as some sparkling
nuggets at last revealed them-
selves. "I would like to have
lived back then," she added,
hands busy panning again. "I
think I'd be rich."
The excitement of the Tin
Cup Adventures Pioneer
Living exhibit lasted well into
the evening as classes spent
about 45 minutes during the
day participating in the activ-
ities, and then many returned
that night to experience the
exhibit with their parents. At
the end of the evening ses-
sion, all students were provid-
ed with a book on pioneers to
take home; courtesy of the
Title I program.
The Pioneer Living exhibit
is a traveling, hands-on muse-
um. Dozens of artifacts and
hands-on activities turned the
school cafetorium into an
1800s pioneer settlement. But
instead of looking at all of the
artifacts and antiques, stu-
dents are encouraged to
touch.
The students participated
in the following activities:
panning for gold, making a
beaded necklace, grinding
corn into flour, washing
clothes on a washboard, card-
ing and spinning yarn, shav-
ing with a lather brush like
Pa, playing with hand-made
wooden folk toys, and rolling
out the bread dough.
Tin Cup Adventures origi-
nates out of Portland, Oregon
and is family owned and oper-
ated. The Pioneer Living
exhibit has visited over 15,000
schools in 45 different states
since 1989,

were scoreless in the first
quarter.
"We did the job defensively
