Baptist Church Preschool Burns Early Saturday - Total Loss
Three people have survived two serious auto crashes that occurred within 500 feet and two hours of each other. It all happened last Friday morning on CR 42, just west of Paisley, involving three young men in two vehicles and one sweeping curve. The first crash occurred around 7:15 a.m. According to Florida Highway Patrol reports, a truck driven by Michael Thomas Saunders, of Deland, with Daniel R. Wuest as a passenger, was westbound near 24720 CR 42 when Saunders attempted a pass on a curve and lost control. The truck left the road on the south shoulder and overturned at least two times, ejecting both young people, who were on their way to school at Umatilla High. “He was passing in a curve, had been passing aggressively,” said FHP trooper Cynthia Avans, who worked the scene and been given eyewitness accounts. Avans said other vehicles were also traveling fast at the same time, but it was undetermined Friday if those vehicles were racing each other or just trying to catch up to each other. “There was definitely inappropriate behavior.”

WE ARE OUTTA HERE!Umatilla High School hosted graduation

more from the event, see inside this week’s paper.
A fire early Sunday morning destroyed the home of the SonShine School, the day care and preschool operated by the First Baptist Church of Umatilla. The fire, reported just before 5 a.m. Saturday, gutted the block structure on Trowell Avenue, resulting in nearly a complete loss of the building’s contents. The fire was reportedly discovered by a Umatilla Police officer on patrol, who smelled smoke in the area. Upon further investigation, the officer saw smoke coming from the building and called in the fire. The fire went through dispatch at 4:50 a.m., with Umatilla Fire Department volunteers
arriving at the fire at 4:51 a.m. “We were responding at the same time the fire was being dispatched,” said UFD Chief Arlan Kemp on Monday. What volunteers found at the scene was a building nearly 40% involved, meaning on fire, with flames licking through the building’s roof. A tower truck from Eustis later arrived to attack the fire from above, and the blaze was also fought by Lake County units. The building was unoccupied at the time of the fire,
and no injuries were reported. Of the few items salvaged, student records and an important computer hard drive were listed as among the most important. By midday Saturday, the cause of the fire was under intense investigation. The State Fire Marshal’s Office responded, as did representatives from the ATF (alcohol, tobacco, and firearms) from the federal Department of Justice. A special dog was brought from
Jacksonville, all partof an investigation
Umatilla Man Killed In CR 42 Crash Saturday A Umatilla man lost his life late Saturday night, when a vehicle he was driving overturned on CR 42 just west of SR 19. Juan Rivera, 56, died at the scene after the 1993 Ford truck he was driving collided with another vehicle and overturned, partially ejecting Rivera. F l o r i d a Highway Patrol reports state that Rivera was westbound on CR 42 just west of Hospitality Lane at approximately 11:39 p.m. Saturday night, when his vehicle crossed the center line and struck a 2007 Dodge driven by Howard McLane, 64,
of Pierson, which was eastbound. The two vehicles struck on the driver’s side left rear, causing Rivera’s vehicle to spin and overturn
onto the westbound shoulder. McLane wasreportedly not injuredin the accident.

Local school children will head out to Summer’s fun this week, but not before they have end-of-the-year programs, early release and final exams. Please call us this week with your end-of-the-year news items. Also, please be careful on the roads, as children will be out and about during the summer time.

Graduation weekend brought a bevy of activities to our community. “Pomp and Circumstance” were floating across Bulldog Stadium at 8 p.m. on Friday night as the Class of 2010 proceeded down the track and out to mid-field in their caps and gowns. The girls carried roses and the stadium was dressed up with foliage plants and other trimmings for the special occasion. Both home and visitor bleachers were filled, as families and friends joined together to support the graduating seniors. Hats off to all the speakers, musicians and students that participated in the commencement program. Everyone did a good job and all the

The outgoing president, Shirley Doyle, was honored by the club with a commemorative brick, bearing her name and date of club service, which will be placed in the walkway of the Florida Federation of Women’s Club headquarters. The incoming officers were installed by the past District 7 Director, Kathy Harris. Mrs. Harris used a theme of “Teapots” for the installation, gearing the use of the teapot to each position.

We had a nice chat with U.H.S. grad Daisy Clanton Millet this week. The local bluegrass musician and massage therapist is just back from Union Grove, N.C., where she participated in the Annual Fiddler’s Convention. She has attended 16 of the past 18 years and was delighted with this year’s programs. The conference includes musical performance competitions, jam sessions, fun and opportunities to learn from the best in the business. Not just fiddlers attend; however, bluegrass musicians from every category attend and compete with other band members for top honors. Daisy was awarded 1st runner up in the bass competition which is high praise. The Fiddler’s Convention (Appalachian String Music) is the oldest in the United States and was celebrating its 86th year this year. Daisy was able to mix work with pleasure at the convention. She put her massage therapist skills to work, helping many musicians suffering with carpal tunnel and arthritis symptoms and other ailments. She has perfected a myofascial massage, which allows better range of motion for people with these problems. She worked on hands, fingers and other parts showing musicians how to do active isolated stretching

DON’T MISS THIS OUTSTANDING EVENT
Both Saunders and Wuest were airlifted to Orlando Regional Medical Center in Orlando, but Avans said neither had life-threatening injuries. “One was in and out of consciousness, however.” Neither youth was reportedly wearing a seat belt, and charges are pending in the case. The truck was removed from the scene, but Avans was still on site finishing up paperwork at approximately 9:20 a.m., when she heard a hard impact behind her. “I heard a boom, and turned around and saw a car blowing into pieces.”
The car was a 1987 Pontiac Trans Am, driven by David Paul Jones, 20, of Fisherman’s Road in Paisley. Jones was also westbound on CR 42, when his vehicle slipped off the north edge of the road on the same curve as the earlier crash. Jones’ vehicle struck a utility pole in the middle of the car, snapping it into two pieces and sending both sections off in different directions, before both came to rest on the south shoulder of the road.
Avans said she expected the worst as she approached the front section of Jones’ vehicle, but the youth had escaped serious injury.
“As I’m approaching the driver side door, he popped out,” she said. “The first thing he said was ‘I’m sorry to cause a problem.’” Jones, who refused transport from the scene, reported he had looked down to get a cell phone out of his pocket and once he hid a gravely shoulder next to the road, he lost control. Avans said the fact that Jones was wearing a seat belt helped him avoid serious injury. “In this case, seat belts definitely saved his life.” The impact that broke the car in two also broke a thick utility pole, but Avans said she didn’t believe Jones as traveling at a very high rate of speed. Her investigation was showing the impact was just exactly in the right, or wrong spot, to break it. The second crash is also under investigation, with charges possible pending.

“And we know thatIN ALL THINGS GOD
Works for the good ofTHOSE WHO LOVE HIM!”
Romans 8:28
Our comfort is in KNOWINGthat you all areWith the Lord.
Sitting at HIS table -Dining and Laughing!!
You can learn a lot by listening over the fence in a small town. Generations of people have passed the news along via conversations held at impromptu locations like the mailbox, via party lines, and even in church pews. In most cases, such gossip simply adds to the color of rural life. A harmless, if factually flawed, story passed along by Granny, or Aunty, or - dare we say it - Bubba. Don’t let them kid you, ladies, men may not talk as much as you do, but their gossip ratio is just as high! While gossip is often based on items of the personal nature, the news of the day isn’t excluded. Over the years, we have heard plenty of “news” items that upon a little investigation turned out to be real whoppers. It’s our job to separate the wheat from the chaff, and make sure what appears in the paper is factual. This week, Umatilla has been swirling with all kinds of “fire related” gossip,
about who did and didn’t respond to a fire, what started a fire, what is going to happen to the town fire department. And on and on. Hopefully, after reading our coverage you will feel secure that you know the facts of the incidents. Regardless of what you hear at the grocery store. We were all pretty much taught as children not to gossip, and we all seem to pretty much ignore those lessons as adults. Telling what you think you know is a time honored tradition, and that is just fine to us. But understand when you pass something on, you become part of the story, and if it is eventually debunked, you’re credibility gets debunked a little bit, too. That happens to all of us, we expect, but trying to get it straight the first time is important. As is perspective. If Granny tells you a sensational tale about the neighbor, best to consider it just that until you have the story independently verified! We heard this week that 1) The Umatilla Fire Department did not respond to the SonShine School fire. 2) They responded, but weren’t there until after Eustis and/or Lake County was on the scene. 3) That the fire was arson. 4) That last week’s fire at a home just a block away originally ruled electrical was arson. 5) The Umatilla Fire Department will be closed. The first four are untrue, and even if the last one were to become true, (which we highly doubt), that decision certainly hasn’t been made. In traumatic times, it is not surprising that the “news” comes fast and loose. Yes, you can learn a lot by listening to gossip, but we recommend you keep what you learn in perspective, as the information you are getting may not be exactly right. Or maybe it is. Which in many cases adds to the rainbow of small town living. But when property is lost, people’s lives are impacted, and people putting their lives on the line to attack infernos, we all owe it to the greater good to make sure any information we pass on is as factual as we can make it.
Dear Editor, I am writing on behalf of First Baptist Church of Umatilla to say thanks to our wonderful community of friends here in North Lake County. The outpouring of love and support for SonShine School has been overwhelming these last few days. We always pray that our church is a blessing to the community and now we are reminded that we

to ease their pains. Several of the musicians she assisted were able to play with no discomfort and said it was a joy to be so loosened up before their performances. Next year, she will be teaching a class at the convention on “Active Isolated Stretching for Musicians.” Locally, Daisy teaches a similar class at Barberville Pioneer Settlement quarterly jam sessions for attending musicians. If you have similar needs for therapy see her ad in the “Outpost”. Speaking of U.H.S. grads, Gus Cross was in town this weekend for his niece, Mariah Cross’ graduation from Tavares High School. Donnie Scott and Mariah’s dad, Paul Cross hosted a graduation party at the home place in Pittman on Saturday. Family and friends joined in a fitting feast with gator tail, fried fish, cheese grits, cucumber salad, potato salad, iced tea, baked beans and all sorts of summer vegetables. A huge graduation cake with cream cheese frosting was served to guests. It was a fun time to visit and celebrate. Mike Cross was in attendance with girlfriend Jenny. He was up early to help with the cooking and party preparations. While in from Nebraska, Gus and wife Nadine were able to visit with lots of friends and family as well as marking off his 50th birthday. That number is probably going to make some local folks feel old. Ray Guenther was one of the folks at the party, he and wife Jackie have just returned from a trip to Maryland where they went to see oldest grandchild, Joel Guenther, graduate from high
school. Ray says the graduate will be heading off to college in Pennsylvania in the fall. Glad to hear they had a good trip.

A grade school teacher in Wisconsin in 1885, Bernard J. Cigrand held the first recognized formal observance of Flag Day at the Stony Hill School. Cigrand traveled the country promoting patriotism, respect for the flag, and the need for the annual observance of a Flag Day on June 14, the day in 1777 that the Continental Congress adopted the Stars & Stripes. This Monday is Flag Day and we look forward to seeing both residents and businesses proudly flying the American flag to commemorate the meaning of the day. School’s out on June 10, just in time for the Paisley library’s Summer Reading Program, which starts on Tuesday, June 15, at 1 p.m., with Teen Tuesday Drug Awareness, including a drug dog demonstration.

Roy Hunter and his wife, Francine, were invited to attend the annual “Spring Musical and Dinner” at Spring Creek Elementary School. During the evening, musical entertainment was
provided to the large assemblage by the students of the school. For many years, Roy has served as an officer and board member of many organizations, all dedicated to promoting the welfare of this community. Among these was the Spring Creek Charter Board. Roy said the surprise was on him as he was called to the stage to receive kudos and a plaque for all his dedication and hard work. Congrats for a job well done!

On Tuesday, June 8, the Lake-Sumter EMS Administration threw a Country Style Barbecue honoring Cal Winningham’s retirement. Sandee Peaden is a very busy lady, especially this past Saturday. She used her skills at cake making and decorating to create a large “castle” cake, just perfect for her little princess’s birthday party. The little princess is her granddaughter, Holly Peaden, and the cake was for her first birthday party. On hand to help with the festivities were Holly’s parents Michael and Heather Peaden from Tangerine, grandparents Carson and Mary Peaden from DeLand, great grandparents Arlice and Louise Peaden from Salt Springs, grandmother Charlotte and great grandmother Ruth Graves, both from Tangerine, Uncle Mike and Aunt Jan Mikas and cousins Jake and Little Jake Mikas from Paisley, and Larry Oliver with

MOVING SALE!
The current wave of hot, sticky weather makes some of us take our days a little slower and easier during the summer months. How-ever, that is apparently not the case with this month’s winner of the Astor Area Garden Club’s “Yard of the Month” award. At the age of 78, Betty Morgan of 55706 Lee Street, still does all of her own gardening and yard work, and, yes, that includes mowing and trimming her shrub-bery. Her backyard, on the canal side, is equally well manicured and lovely; but she does report that, due to repeated visits from a local black bear resident, her once lush grape arbor had to be removed. About 35 years ago, when Betty and her husband (now deceased) moved here from Winter Park to open the first self-service gas station in Astor, they brought with them 129 assorted hanging baskets. She apparently still enjoys hanging and potted plants, because they are abundantly displayed on her cheerful front porch. Betty and the garden club have certain-ly set the “standard bar” high for future award winners, so keep your eyes open for a home in the Astor area you think might qualify as a worthy choice, and please call Mary Louise Bal-dridge (352) 759-2747 or Fran Stoll 759-9982 with your nominations for “Yard of the Month” for July. This weekend the Kiwanis Club of As-tor was represented by Larry Alsop and Mark Smith at the Grand Opening of Astor Arms and Outdoor Supplies on SR 40. They raised $128 at the opening, and all profits from the sale of
Kiwanis shotgun raffle tickets and Astor History Books will be used to support local children and Astor area schools. The next meeting of the Ki-wanis Club will be held on Wednesday, June 16 at noon at the Blackwater Inn. They invite mem-bers and prospective members (first lunch free) to come out and get to know them. The Kiwanis Club is a global organization of volunteers dedi-cated to helping one child, one community at a
time. They also want you to know that tickets are still available for their Bunco Party, held at the Blackwater Inn, on Thursday, June 17 at 6 p.m. Call Donna Alsop at (352)759-2885 or see Sallie Shelldorf at the Astor USB for tickets. As one new business opens it doors in

Astor...Cont’dour community, another is finding it necessary to move. Georgia Palmer, vice president of the Astor Area Chamber of Commerce and one of the chamber’s representatives for the ribbon-cut-ting ceremony welcoming the new Astor Arms, will be closing her store, Georgia’s Little Bit of Everything, on June 30. She cites the economy and health issues as the reason for holding her “Moving Sale” this month, and she wants her Di-rectTV customers to know she will continue to provide for their needs from her home (352) 672-3698. In the Astor area, we have a number of businesses that have found it tough to keep their doors open over the last couple of years. We all need to buy locally whenever we can and support the community businesses that support us. The Astor VFW Post 9986 will commerate Flag Day on Monday, June 14, with their annual Flag Disposal Ceremony at 3 p.m. The public is invited to attend. Anyone who has a worn, tat-tered flag, please drop by the VFW before June 14. If you need a new U.S. flag, you can purchase one through the Post or Ladies Auxiliary. United Southern Bank will be holding a bake sale to ben-efit the Post Ladies Auxiliary, and all proceeds will be used to fund veterans programs. The bake sale will be inside the Astor USB, during busi-ness hours, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The ladies auxiliary will be set up outside the USB selling poppies for veterans in the morning. The next post meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on June 14th. A special welcome home to VFW Post 9989 member Warrant Officer CW2 Wayne Loeser, Jr., who just returned from Afghanistan, where he was deployed with the 88th Combat Aviation Bri-gade and is an Army Black Hawk helicopter pilot. He will be on leave for 30 days and then stationed stateside for one year. He is the son of longtime residents Wayne and Melissa Loeser. The post and this community owe him and all of our mili-tary men and women a great deal of thanks for their service to our country. The Astor Athletic League wishes to ex-press their gratitude and thanks to the VFW Honor Guard, O’Brien’s Café and Sterlings Res-taurant and all of the individuals who provided support for the Sheila Pike Memorial Service on Memorial Weekend. On June 8, the Astor Ath-
letic League began coordinating their summer playtime on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 5 pm to 8 pm at the Astor Lions Park on Alco Road. The concession stand is open during playtime, and toys will be available. The League is seeking volunteers for their activities and ap-preciate any and all financial support from the community. Contact Lisa at (386) 453-1922 or Tenny at (386) 717-2217 to volunteer or for more information. Reminders: A Shredding Truck spon-sored by the Astor Area Chamber of Commerce will be available in the USB parking lot (in Astor) on Saturday, June 19 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. It is free to all local businesses and individuals.

Paisley ... cont’d Sandee. The event was the Circle of Celebration this past Saturday. Inside the community center were Dave and Judy Grimm, from the Friends of the Library. They were selling books and 50/50 raffl e tickets to support their scholarship fund. Stephanie Perry was there representing the Forest Hills Association using raffl es, a breakfast gift basket, gift certifi cates to JC’s Lobster Pot, a man’s fi sh and tackle box gift set, and selling nachos, popcorn, cotton candy, water, and juice. The Forest Hills Association also conducted the ever popular cake walk. Al and Joan Sargent lead art and craft classes every Friday night at the First Baptist Church of Paisley and brought samples of artwork and crafts. There were Al’s picture, “This I Will Defend,” and prize winning wood burning pieces by Bob Lovett, Dwight Snow, and Al Sargent, all adorned with blue and red ribbons and Best in Show. Donna Grimm, Debbie Wesson, Debbie Drake, and Larry and Jana Edwards manned the Paisley Association table. They were there on a meet’n greet to explain that their association is a service organization, whose aims and purposes are the betterment of the Paisley community and that they are NOT a homeowner’s association. Two Angel Foods boxes were given away and the Lollipop Tree proceeds will help defray costs for those who are unable to participate in the Angel Foods Ministries at this time. Every month the First Baptist Church of Paisley donates 3 – 4 of the boxes to their own food pantry. Helping out were Amanda Kramer, Rosanna Kramer, and Pam Rosebush. Kim Slimp returned with her make-up brushes to make artistic creations on the faces of many of the children attending. The very young Elijah Kramer watched as Kim painted a beautiful butterfl y on Shyanna Kramer’s face and decided he wanted no part of that deal. James and Mary Miller and Bill and Kathy Johnson (along with a lot of volunteers) put lots of preparation into every summer’s Paisley Christian Softball League. Saturday mornings start with K – 5th graders on the fi eld for their game, followed by the 6th – 12th grade game. On their table were a baseball bat, juice in softball containers, a boy’s and a girl’s softball glove for the older children and a boy’s and girl’s softball glove for the younger children, all to be given away by a drawing before the day was over. There was a steady stream of children signing up for summer softball. Next week we’ll continue this report with the outside activities. Check the bulletin boards at the Paisley post offi ce and the Gate store for fl yers on how to help out with “goodie boxes” for our local military folk. You may also phone 434-2207 for more information. Make an announcement, post someone’s birthday, send anniversary greetings, or whatever else you can think of. The Paisley Association is offering their sign for rent for just $5 per day, for a minimum of three days, with a week’s notice. Phone 1-386 738-3179 to make arrangements. Our calendar remains full. Saturday morning started with our weekly breakfast meeting with children, Tommy and Brandy Wilson and grandson, Brandon Willis. Then we headed to the
Paisley Park for the Circle of Celebration. Around noon, we left for Oak Hill, Florida, to celebrate great-grandson Rylin Westerfi eld’s seventh birthday with his mother Kathleen, his brother Lukas, Grandmother Donna Jean Fitzgerald, and lots of friends. Home again, showering and dressing to attend yet another high school reunion at the Rosen Centre in Orlando. Wilson backyard update- Skip kept hearing a different kind of bird in the yard but couldn’t fi nd it. Sometimes there would be one in our yard and one across the street and they would call to one another. The other morning, I was almost fi nished getting dressed for work and was still upstairs. Skip had been on morning duty, feeding the birds and squirrels. He came running up the stairs hollering Hurry, Hurry!!! We both ran downstairs, out the back door, and into the back yard (me in my robe and both of us barefoot). Behind the garage, sitting side by side on a pine tree branch, were three barred owls,

Fish Tournament Wraps Up 25th Year With Big Final Round Sunday The 25th annual Collins Tire Center Fishing Contest came to a climatic end Sunday, with twenty fi shermen representing ten boats spending the day on Lake Dorr and Lake Holly in search of big fi sh and big prize cash. When the day was done, the team of Brandon Blackmon and Jason Berryman had boated the biggest catch, and claimed their fourth tournament title in the past eight years. The duo’s total take for the day, at just over 20 pounds, placed them nearly fi ve pounds ahead of second place, held by the team of Jesse Williams, Jr. and Jason McKinnie. For their efforts, the winners took home $1,000. “They jumped out to a big lead in the morning, more than anyone could catch up to,” said Bruce Collins, organizer of the tournament. “They had over 12 pounds in the morning on Lake Dorr, a lot more than anyone else.” At the fi nal weigh in at the Lake Holly Boat ramp, over 100 people gathered to fi nd out who would win the fi nal round of the tournament, which began with 54 boats and which also awarded over $10,000 in prize money during its annual run. Rounding out the days top fi ve were the teams of Donnie Gardner and Taylor Wiggins (3rd place), Ross Paul and Brandon Carey (4th), and Rod Gardner and Rick Lucas. Collins’ attention now turns to the big July 4 BBQ, which this year will be held on Saturday, July 3. Anyone wishing to contribute to the free community dinner is invited to stop in at Collins Tire Center, located on SR 19 in downtown Umatilla. Donations of time, supplies, and food are needed, as Collins expects to feed at least 1,000 people again this year.
The Spring Creek Elementary School Charter Board will meet on Tuesday, June 15, beginning at 3:30 p.m. The meeting will be held in the school’s media center. The public is invited to attend, and for more information, call 669-3275.

SonShine ... cont’d to see what caused the fire. By Monday, the investigation had determined that the fire was not intentionally caused, but instead was electrical in nature, having sparked in the office of school director Donna Hardcastle. “There is no evidence of arson,” Kemp said. “The fire started in the office west of the south entrance. Apparently, by a power strip on the west wall of that office.” The building was reported as a complete loss, with representatives of the First Baptist Church on Monday stating their plans to tear down the structure as soon as it is cleared by investigators. “We are waiting for the fire marshal to release the building,” said Bob Hardcastle of First Baptist. “We will tear the building down. We will take the modular for the infants and move it over to the other site as soon as we can find someone to move it.” Hardcastle was referring to the quick relocation of the school, to the church’s North Campus, off Hatfield Drive. In fact, the move had begun even before the fire was totally extinguished, with church volunteers arriving with equipment and quickly moving the school’s playground to a spot next to a modular that will house the school’s 100-plus registered children for the foreseeable future. In fact, the school’s new home features a modular building that received its certificate of occupancy just last week, and was slated to be used to house adult Sunday School classes. Instead, by Monday volunteers and staff had set up for the SonShine School’s operation, with the business opening “as usual.” Donna Hardcastle said donations of snacks and school supplies were massive. “We won’t have to buy supplies for a long
time.” But other, larger items will remain on the needs list. The school, which was housed just across from Umatilla’s Cadwell Park, now lacks recreational equipment for its after care program, and there will be other needs. To help offset that and other costs, a benefit account has been set up at United Southern Bank. The SonShine School Alumni and Friends account is open and accepting donations at any USB branch, with all proceeds to help fill any gaps in the school’s funding needs. “For 26 years, that school has touched so many families,” said USB representative Teena Stoneking in announcing the fund Monday. “They are going to need things.” With the school on stable footing, church leaders now turn their attention forward, toward a permanent solution. A study already underway concerning future facility needs has been placed on a fast track, with a committee meeting this past Sunday to review options. “We have been talking to companies for five or six months about a building that would incorporate the SonShine School,” Bob Hardcastle said, adding that the church will now look to accelerate any construction timetable. However, any permanent home for the school will take time. “It takes 1.5 to 2 years to get into something,” he said. Today, the church is looking at constructing a 25,000 square foot building that would house the school, among other things. But first things first, and clearing the fire site and making sure the school’s children are safe and comfortable in their new home is job one. At least after one day, it appeared so far, so good was the conclusion for Bob Hardcastle. “It’s amazing what God has done. Everything worked really well this morning .”

“TLC for your pets in your absence”
Several times in previous columns I have mentioned the mission statement of the Altoona Trail Riders; “dedicated to the preservation of equestrian trails, community service and fam-ily fun.” And regarding community service, I was very pleased when the ATR recently decided to sponsor a $500 scholarship to a deserving Uma-tilla High School senior. ATR member Gaile Gib-son undertook the task of contacting the school and getting all the particulars and paperwork in order. There was a ceremony at the school a week or so ago and our scholarship was awarded to Mariah Shelton. The membership is thrilled to be able to make this scholarship available and to reinforce that we are not just about getting out and riding horses. We do believe in a civic duty to give back to the community in which we live and ride. Congratulations to Mariah from the entire ATR membership. I attended the Xtreme Cowboy Challenge, sponsored by the Ocala Western Riders last week at Rocking Horse. This is a new type of event for central Florida, modeled after the nationally recognized Xtreme Cowboy Challenge that you might have seen on TV. While they did not have as many entries as they had hoped, the ones who were riding had a great time. There were three different divisions and each one was timed. In the beginner and intermediate division, the rider coming closest to the ideal time won. In the ad-vanced division, the rider with the fastest time won. Some of the obstacles consisted of a water crossing, barnyard animals, crossing a large log, firing a paint ball gun and roping a traffic cone. It was an interesting event and one I would like to ride someday. The winners of the event are as follows: Beginner division - 1st Place - Mary Wells, East Palatka, 2nd Place - Melissa Vana-core, Ocala, 3rd Place - Denise Jones, Leesburg. Intermediate division - 1st Place - Diane Russell, Bonita Springs, 2nd Place - Diane McMurtrey, Winter Springs, 3rd Place - Carol Demeo, Citrus Springs. Advanced Division - 1st Place - Centry Scarbrough, Sarasota, 2nd Place - Jody Simon-ton, Oxford, 3rd Place - Deana Trail, Ormond Beach. There was also a jackpot division with a 50% payback. And the winners were - Beginner Division - Mary Wells, East Palatka, Intermedi-ate Division - Diane McMurtrey, Winter Springs, Advanced Division - Martha Galone, DeLand.
Check out the website for the Ocala Western Rid-ers for future events, www.ocalawesternriders.com. The Altoona Trail Riders held their year-end banquet last Sunday at the Umatilla Inn and Restaurant. This is always a fun event as it culmi-nates our riding year and interesting awards are given out based on the happenings of the year. The buffet dinner served by Hugh Johnson and his staff was bountiful and delicious. The staff is the friendliest around and was taking care of us in grand style. We had almost 80 members in attendance and everyone had a great time. I highly recommend this restaurant, as the food is good and they will cater to your business and meeting needs. ATR President Sue Rogers recog-nized the officers and board members for their hard work and dedication over the past year. A hearty thanks went out to Vice President Valorie Johnson, Secretary Margaret Shuman, Treasurer Dot Gross and Board Members Glenda Dawkins, Andy Michel, Linda Harrington and Karen Nor-ris. Next week I will have pictures and discussion of the awards that were handed out. The ATR is now officially on a summer break. There will be no organized rides or meetings until September. Our riding season will begin with a Labor Day campout and our first meeting will be the first Thursday of September. Check our website for the latest info, www.altoonatrailriders.com. In these tough economic times very few folks have any extra cash. However, I would en-courage all horse lovers to consider donating some funds to the Lake County Animal Control to help in feeding the 28 starving horses that they recently have confiscated. Several of us went to check out these horses and it just broke our hearts to see horses so skinny. And these are all nicely bred horses; warmbloods and Thor-oughbred crosses. The county needs help in feed-
ing them, so if you can send any amount please consider it. The county is trying to get custody of the horses and if so, they will get them back in shape and auction them off. Call 343-9688 if you want more information. Hurricane season is upon us and if you are interested, there is a free lecture on June 30 titled “Preparing You and Your Horse, for the Upcoming Hurricane Season.” The lecture will be held at the Golden Ocala Golf and Equestri-an Club, Main Clubhouse, 8300 NW 31st Lane Road, Ocala. The lecture begins at 6:30 p.m. and reservations are required. For more info or to reserve your place please email Sarah Kirk at [email protected]. The recent news was very sad regard-ing the fire at the Sonshine School in Umatilla. Please keep that group in your thoughts and prayers as they regroup and plan for restoration and rebuilding.

CONSIDER THOSE LAUGHABLE TV COMMERCIALS
About TV commercials, they’re something else altogether. Between bouts of nausea, pure wonderment and the on-off button, I see some that are somewhat amusing and some that are not funny “ha-ha” but funny silly. So few of them give viewers any benefit of the doubt about being living and breathing intelligent human beings. Some leave me doubting that those who wrote and produced them are of the same human fam-ily that God created. Maybe they evolved, I’ll share a few. Those AARP Advance Care cards are the only one recognized by AARP. That’s because they’re the only ones like that the group issues. What once was a non-profit organization rep-resenting older Americans, they seem to have evolved into a for-profit enterprise. They think it’s a “coming age” requirement for folks to join when they reach 50 and that it’s un-American of those who don’t. Another: “This is a CNN public service announcement. Homes are selling for as little as $1,000. If you are a renter, call today for avail-able lists. Don’t wait. Call today. All others call tomorrow.” Those commercial has said that for weeks, maybe months, every day - “others call tomorrow.” But tomorrow never comes. If you own your own home with insurance, property taxes and mortgage payments, they don’t par-ticulary want you because you likely won’t have enough money left to spend with them. Then there’s the Scooter Store. “Medi-
care-approved electronic scooters. Call today for yours.” Among other reasons for them urg-ing folks to call today is that naturally their po-tential customers are handicapped people and older people. If they don’t call today and make some sort of a deal that’s beneficial to the Scooter Store, it may never happen. That sort of potential customer might’ve succumbed before tomorrow. Since the Chrysler Corporation’s sale to Italy’s Fiat, some strange commercials have ap-peared on TV. A recent one indicates that Gen-eral George Washington ordered himself a Dodge Hemi for its terrain-roamin capability. In my humble and mayhaps prejudicial opinion, Wash-ington would probably have kept his first order confined to the future presidential family by pur-chasing a Lincoln. And those never-ending TV political com-mercials “Going Green” is catching on. Now we have a man named Greene also running for Sena-tor. Is he for real? His TV campaign commercials show him speaking with an earthmoving back-hoe behind him. Aren’t such machines respon-sible for removing vast acreage’s of green grass, shrubs and trees leading to the paving over of Florida? Now a TV commercial is outsourced as in those two somewhat amusing middle eastern men who clown around and leave me dumfound-ed as to what they’re really advertising. That takes outsourcing to ridiculous ends. Have any of you called a customer re-lations phone number for almost any product whatsoever? You have to wade through multitu-dunous menu options and then wait for almost an eternity to speak to someone in India or wherever who can barely speak English with their strong ethnic accent. Outsourcing is practiced so much it is the norm for manufacturers, billing services, telephone sales and customer relations.
Here’s what happened to me. I called “Customer Care” about a relatively simple prob-lem with my VA-furnished Abbot Freestyle Free-dom Blood Glucose Monitoring System. The re-lease button on my finger lancing device started popping out and I sometimes had to chase it down and insert it back in to puncture my fin-ger for a drop of blood. The “Customer Care” man with a Eastern accent put me through a battery of questions about the problem and if it had been damaged, then told me a replace-ment should arrive at my address the following Wednesday. I was directed to destroy the defec-tive device. I didn’t, a good thing, because no replacement arrived as promised. Three weeks later I wrote the firm a firm letter. Nothing happened. On my next visit to the Tampa VA, I explained and demonstrated the problem to my doctor. She prescribed one. Guess what. They gave me a whole new meter, case, lancing devise and ten test stripes at VA expense, an overkill of the problem. After three more weeks, a meter, case, lancing devise and ten test strips arrived from Abbott. Gross over-kill! Now I have three meters, two working lanc-ers, tree cases and sufficient test strips for some while. This was because the man with the Indian accent didn’t do a promised maybe because of a language barrier or perhaps because of a slowly responding corporation. In another column I mentioned those boxy Japanese SUV’s that are quite unattractive to me. One even has the model number Xb. As in X-box? Now a TV commercial indicates that they don’t use much fuel. They’re powered by cute little rodents in running mills that don’t eat much except “green.” TV commercials boggle the brain. No wonder we’re becoming so neurotic.

are blessed to be a part of this great community. I would like to say a special thanks to the firemen from Umatilla, Eustis, and Lake County. I would like for everyone to know that our volunteer fire crew had water on this fire within 3 minutes of the call. They all worked extremely hard and I have a new found respect and appreciation for what they do. Volunteers or paid, they risk their lives to save ours, and for that First Baptist Church of Umatilla says “Thank You.” Remember that ministries are not made up of buildings. They are made up of people, so SonShine School carries on without skipping a beat. We appreciate your support and continued prayers. Always remember that God has a plan. (Jeremiah 29:11) In Him, Brooks Braswell, Pastor First Baptist Church “Where Christ Is The Center”
Dear Editor, I was appalled after reading the article about the fire in Umatilla, and learned the city fire department failed to respond. If only one firefighter had responded the response would have still been inadequate. In a fire situation the firefighter would be unable to enter the building until more help arrived. These firefighters are paid $7.50 an hour. Which member of the city government would be willing to risk his life for only $7.50 per hour? Indeed, every time these dedicated firefighters respond to an emergency situation they are at high risk for injury. I am a retired professional firefighter from the Milwaukee Fire Department, who proudly served for 27+ years. I hope that gives me a little credibility. Some suggestions: I know you do not want to hear about how we did things up north, but what if it works? Think about this for a while. Staff the department with at least two full time firefighters, preferably four. Pay these firefighters a living wage. I think they deserve at least this much. Remember, after you put all the grant money in buildings to beautify your city, it would be a shame to watch To Editor,
I am overdo in telling the city of Umatilla how nice the parking lot across from City Hall is. There is lacking at least one more handicapped parking space. There are lots of motorcycle spaces which they don’t use, also compact car spaces, that don’t get used, that I’ve seen. Otherwise that parking lot is fantastic. Yours Truly, Virginia Davis Altoona
Letters ... cont’d them burn down because no one was on duty. Secondly, if you can’t find the funds to staff a real fire department, then turn the department over to Lake County, lock stock, and barrel. I know city leaders would no longer be able to micromanage the department but that might be a good thing. I know that the City of Umatilla invested a lot of money in equipment and it shows. It would be a tragedy to watch the city burn down and have lives lost while the fire department had insufficient personnel to appropriately respond. The people of Umatilla certainly deserve a quick responding appropriately manned fire department. Sincerely, David Bykowski Retired Firefighter

Association, District 3, will present an orientation program. Families will also have an opportunity to visit home school related vendor booths following the presentation. For more information, go to http://library.marioincountyfl.org or call (352) 671-8551. The recent Central Florida Home School Convention was held in Orlando two weeks ago. The cost to attend that was $85 per family and saw thousands in attendance for four
days of speakers and programs. Saint Thomas Episcopal Church hosted a Dinner Theater last week, staring local characters like Rick and Sue Kiefer, and Rich and Jackie Castiglioni in the comedy “And then there was one, too.” The cast and crew played before happy crowds and included funny costumes, a colorful stage and sets and a lot of helpers. Thanks go out to Janet Gizelt and Marilyn Pierson and the rest of the catering crew, as well as director Charlotte Jardine and helper grandson, Bailey Fisher. The profits from the four day run will be used to fund the newly e s t a b l i s h e d - D a v e McGonigal Memorial Scholarship Fund at the church in the
amount of $700. There will bea fundraiser for thechildren’s ministryat the First UnitedMethodist Church ofEustis this Saturday morning.
