“Boomer was a great man with a huge heart. He always brought a smile to your face and brightened up a room when he walked in. He was a great friend and will be missed immensely.” — Bobby Werts

BY ALICE MARY HERDEN

The recent passing of one of Hernando County’s most beloved umpires, Boomer Oliver, is a true loss to this community, especially those that were fortunate to be on the diamond with him.

Behind the plate with a clicker in his left hand, greeting with his right hand, he welcomed every batter with a charismatic smile.

For many years he was closely tied to the players of the Senior Softball Leagues, his charisma, charm, joy, and his distinctive laughter made the players fill up with energy and life. He made many friendships along the way and built lasting bonds.

He also worked for Frazier Farms and for the last 5 years was their mascot- dressing up as their resident chicken.

“Boomer was a great man. He was always laughing, always happy and would

You may have noticed the Spring Hill and Brooksville Beacon newspapers around the area. They are distributed in blue boxes on the side of the road. The Spring Hill and Brooksville Beacon are a free monthly newspaper that is published by the Tampa Bay Newspapers, an affiliate of Times Publishing Company, parent company of the Tampa Bay Times.

None of the branding on the Spring Hill and Brooksville Beacon newspapers nor their website mentions the affiliation with the Tampa Bay Times. The newspapers only mention that they are part of the Tampa Bay Newspapers.

However, if you look more closely, it becomes apparent that the Tampa Bay Newspapers and the Times are closely affiliated. Paul C. Tash who is the chairman and CEO of the Tampa Bay Times and Times Publishing Company is listed as CD (Chairman/Director) on the officer/directors of Tampa Bay Newspapers.

On the Tampa Times website you can find the biography of Dan Autrey the publisher of the See BEACON, Page 4

Pat Miketinac submitted prepared packets to the board and commented on the destruction of the Lake Townsen Forest. Miketinac reports that many other species of trees are being destroyed except for scattered Longleaf Pine.

“The stated reason is … for habitat restoration, for the creation of gopher tortoise recipient sites.” He went on to say that destruction of the other types of vegetation because the back five acres of our property is the same Arredondo soil classification, that’s still home to native vegetation, with many gopher tortoise burrows. Miketinac said that some protected areas are left with nothing but Longleaf pines. “It looks like Hiroshima after the blast.”

Once upon a time there were great, lush diverse forests all across Hernando county. The envy of the world, deep shade canopies, a mystery, a joy, a wonder.

I’m devastated that our children will never know the great forests of Hernando County, except in fairy tales, or pictures.

John Law Ayers Room 20 N. Main Street Brooksville, FL 34601

Lake Townsen is a Hernando County Park. Of the 375 acres, 100 have just recently been destroyed, not a green plant left on the mechanically shredded acres, just sand and rubble and scraggly pines.

Hernando County School Board Meetings April 23 11AM Informal 2PM Workshop 6PM Regular Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting 5/13/2019 9:00 AM Government Center John Law Ayers Room 20 N. Main Street Brooksville, FL 34601

Another 180 acres are slated to be destroyed by fire, machines and / or chemicals and harvesting over the next six months. Everyone, please needs to go out to Istachatta / Nobleton and witness the destruction of this once-proud forest firsthand.”

Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting 5/14/2019 9:00 AM Government Center John Law Ayers Room 20 N. Main Street Brooksville, FL 34601 District Office-Board Room 919 North Broad Street Brooksville, FL 34601

In closing, Miketinac said, “Lake Townsen was granted to Hernando County in 1974 … for the express purpose of public recreation. The people of the neighborhood fund-raised to pay for the fencing, ballpark and playground. The county put in equestrian trails, but who’s … going to want to ride out there now when the shade canopy has been destroyed?

You’ve got burned ashes, chopped up rubble and scrub, lingering carcinogenic chemicals. There’s

RoundUp™ being used.

Will that get into the lakes and river?”

Pam Everett, who lives in the area described by the Miketinacs, asked the board if any member or staff has witnessed the current state of the forest.

“I’m overrun with wildlife now. Everyone likes to see a deer in their backyard, but I have 20-30 every single night.” Everett said squirrels, opossum and other wildlife are overtaking her yard because they have no place to go.

According to Everett, horse trails are sporting brand-new signs that they are protected, yet there is highway visible from the trails that used to be shielded by trees. Visitors from surrounding counties have not been as numerous, and the decrease in visitors threatens two small businesses in the area.

Richard Ross spoke to the board with regard to the salaries of the commissioners vis-à-vis the current budget crisis. “I want the commission to explain on the record why they have not cut their own salary to balance the budget. Not a single one of you relies (on your commissioner’s salary) to put food on your tables. Some of the people you let go relied on their salaries to put food on their tables … and a roof over their heads, yet you are sitting here sucking down $70,000 a year - almost twice the median income of the population of the county for your part-time job.”

BOARD/STAFF RESPONSES Commissioner Wayne Dukes agreed with Gordon about the confusion involving the phone system.

“It’s extremely frustrating, especially if you’re a citizen waiting for information … we need to come up with a better plan.” Acting County Administrator Jeff Rogers addressed the issue by saying, “It does take a little time for all the different departments to realign ... the phones. It is in progress, and we hope to have more progress before the next meeting.”

Rogers mentioned that the concerns regarding Lake Townsen would be addressed during the meeting. Dukes added, “Unfortunately, I’m the person who started that process, because we were paying $2000 a piece to have our turtles taken by contractor. St. Lucie County had a program where they were keeping (the tortoises) in the county. The program has taken so long because of the restrictions put upon individual counties by the state. I had no idea that it had gone to this size, and that’s a question for staff.

I know that there had to be underbrush … but to cut trees down… I’m not sure how a gopher tortoise interacts with a tree… so I’m concerned about that, because it was not the intent in my mind. I’m not the person who makes the rules… I am eager to hear from staff, and I am concerned about that.”

Geiger stated having a Building Department inhouse would require the City to have backup personnel to cover vacations and illnesses and to have sufficient staff for timely inspections. PDCS has been able to provide the staff on short notice, when needed.

Bernardini said the council had also discussed seeking another company to provide the same services.

Kemerer asked when the contract expired. According to Geiger, it was meant to be ongoing, providing both parties agreed that the City was satisfied with the services provided and PDCS was satisfied with the revenue generated. The contract could be terminated with a written 30-day notice.

Peddler’s Permit Process Clarification – The proposed change to the current Peddlers and Solicitors Ordinance is to remove any reference to the Police Department. Since law enforcement is now managed through the Sheriff’s Department, the language is being changed to reflect that the City Manager or his designee will issue these permits.

Battista asked about individuals who solicit donations while standing at the stop lights at US 41 and the bypass. He recommended a prohibition against that for safety reasons. Kemerer requested that Kutney discuss that with the Sheriff’s Department. Individual permits for sales or solicitation would not be required if a special event has a permit.

Battista made the motion for a first reading of the ordinance amendment on 04/15/19. Bernardini seconded the motion. The motion passed 4-0.

Fire Code Amendment – Burn Ban – Fire Chief Ron Snowberger stated there is nothing in the current fire code which addresses bonfires, fire pits, barbecue grills, etc. He said he receives calls asking for specific guidelines or complaints. Without a defined code, there is no standard response.

Bernardini moved to place the amendment to the Fire Code on the agenda for 04/15/19 as a first reading. He asked for some restrictions to be adjusted or loosened.

Brayton seconded the motion, which passed 4-0.

Professional Services Evaluation Procedure (Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act) – Stuparich stated the proposed changes include clarifying some language in the City’s policy and the option to select multiple providers and aligns with Florida Statutes. It eliminates the rating system the screening committee was required to use. The meetings must be published and open to the public.

Battista made the motion to approve the revised policy.

Bernardini seconded the motion. It was approved 4-0.

Citizens Input (II) – There were no comments by citizens during this portion of the meeting.

The City Attorney, City Manager and Council members shared items of interest before Kemerer ended the meeting.

news source. A diversity of sources is often used as an indicator of whether or not something is true.

If all of your sources are newspapers controlled by the same people then you only have one source of information.

The Hernando Sun is owned by the paper’s co-publisher Julie Maglio with the support of her husband Rocco Maglio (co-publisher) and four children. “It is truly a family owned business with our children stuffing

envelopes, bagging newspapers, verifying mailings, pulling data from the web, and helping out in other ways. Our team of writers, photographers, ad reps and distributors help us produce an amazing product each week,” said Julie Maglio.

We are working hard to maintain another news source within the county, which was recently described as a ‘news desert’ by the Tokyo Shimbun, a Japanese newspaper with a circulation of 3 million.

The parade of homes is a great chance to meet representatives of different builders in the county.

If you are interested in building soon, you need to get in line as soon as possible. The amount of construction has greatly increased during the past few years and many of the contractors and subcontractors are extremely busy. There are even more homes in the pipeline, so it appears that our builders will be busy for the foreseeable future.

Helicopter dumps water on the 2017 Weekiwachee Preserve wildfire

Recognizing Wildfire Awareness Week

BY ALICE MARY HERDEN HERNANDO SUN WRITER

In 1998, Florida suffered one of the most devastating wildfires documented, with over 500,000 acres of forest and private lands devastated in Brevard County.

Within the last ten years, Hernando County has had over 270 fires, with 7,143 acres burning due to wildfires. Lightning is a significant factor in causing wildfires.

In 2017, Hernando County and much of the state was in a drought.

A front went through Hernando Beach and lightning struck in Weekiwachee Preserve causing a wildfire.

“Florida is one of those states that can go from very wet to very dry,” said Judith Tear, Florida Forest Service Wildfire Mitigation Specialist & Information Officer. “2017 was a pretty high fire activity for the state of Florida and especially in this district.”

Florida is a hurricane state, and many residents know what to do and how to prepare when the hurricane season arrives,

however, many are unaware of how to prepare for wildfires.

Florida Wildfire Awareness Week begins Sunday, April 7 and runs through Saturday, April 13.

Here are some best practice tips for the prevention of wildfires:

-Campfire Campfire safety, learning where and how to maintain and extinguish your campfire -Cigarette Butts Tossing out cigarette butts have been known to cause wildfires -Backyard Debris Burning Know the laws before outdoor burning as well as how to safely burn yard debris -Farm and Lawn Equipment Keep chains from scraping the roads and equipment in-check and maintained

By understanding burn laws and learning ways to help prevent wildfires, people can protect their personal property.

“There are steps that they can do to protect their homes,” Judith said.

“We have to get that wildfire message out there.

Where to find information:

-Local Libraries Florida Forest Service provides information about Wildlife Safety at your local library.

-Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Website: Freshfromflorida.com Click on the Forest & Wildfire tab to get resources and other valuable information -Attend the Hernando 2019 Hurricane & Safety Expo on May 4th at the Hernando County Fairgrounds.

- Receive educational materials and talk to our local Foresters from the Florida Forest Service Florida Forest Service has dedicated Foresters that will speak to you, your organization or school about wildfire safety and how you can prepare your home or land against wildfires.

Live Oak Theatre’s Godspell sion the guests were provided with a desert and a drink as have all the other plays we have been to in their new building.

By: Hanna Fox and Rocco Maglio Live Oak Theatre’s latest production is Godspell.

The play has deeply religious themes cast in a contemporary setting.

The show features a few biblical characters with a number of non-biblical characters acting out parables.

Live Oak Theatre’s production includes many references to popular culture. We particularly enjoyed the reference to Monty Python’s Black Knight. The Live Oak rendition also featured the last supper and the passover prayers over the bread and the wine in Hebrew. The cast was very energetic and enthusiastic making the production more enjoyable.

some of the cast sitting among the audience and throughout the productions the actors would sing to and ask questions of audience members.

These productions have all been extremely entertaining and a great way to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

Live Oak has two casts for each production.

Godspell will be played again next week on Sunday with the same cast, but next Saturday there will be a different cast. Sadly, next Sunday’s play is sold out.

A hallmark of Live Oak Theatre is their interaction with the audience.

Stage West’s Noises Off! Noises Off is a play about a play called Nothing On. The aging leading lady (who has financed the show to fund her retirement) and her director, have put together a mismatched group of actors. The rehearsals are not going well.

When the show goes on the road, personalities and jealousies turn back stage into crazy chaos. Which result in the last show being a side splitting comedy of errors.

Dotty, the leading lady is perfectly played by Michelle Root. Lloyd, the devil may care director and ladies man is played by Chaz Kleber. Brian Moran as the ever, you know, Gary gives a side splitting performance as Dotty’s jealous boyfriend. Jessica Virginia as the sexy leading lady, and the directors girlfriend, is perfectly clueless. Jeanine Rogers as Belinda the professional actress, is steadfastly trying to hold the show together and keep poor confused Freddy played by Matt Root from having a breakdown. Ernie

Rowland plays Selsdon a burgler who stumbles into the “empty” house and adds to the confusion. Last but not least, our 2 stage hands. Poppy, abandoned girlfriend of the director, played convincingly

by Jennifer Valardi and the hapless Tim, played by Brady Lay. Tim is the gofer and go to guy abused by all. Together they bumble their way through the play. Please join us for our presentation of Noises Off. Unitarian Universalist Church in the Pines theme for April will be “Pilgrimage” and will include the following series of programs: April 14, Choosing Your Own Path.

April 21, Earth Day/Easter.

Hunting

Toby Benoit is a best selling novelist and professional outdoorsman with thirty-five years of experience guiding and outfitting for big game all across America. Toby is a renowned archer and turkey hunting expert who manufactures custom game calls and is a regular judge at NWTF sanctioned turkey calling events across the Southeast.

Coon hunting Part 1 Coon hunting has been around as a sport since the colonial period when scent-trailing hounds had first been brought to the US from Europe. These dogs were selectively bred, to attain high tracking skills to hunt fox and their physical features allowed them to quickly follow prey through thick forests. Some of the very first hounds in the fledgling United States, were a pair of high-bred hounds which had been a gift to then President, George Washington, from the people of France. They were a gift of fox hounds, but since fox were scarce at that time, Old George taught them to tree raccoons instead.

The practice of hound hunting for coons however did not pick up pace until the early 20th century, when it became a remarkably popular sport and past time. One important reason for rural families to participate in a coonhunt was the fur, which was highly valued. Aside from the additional income potential, some people like myself, also considered the meat of the animal to be quite delicious!

As in the present day, coon hunting was done with the help of specialized dogs that could easily and quickly move through thick bushes and follow the coon scent at the same time. Soon, people began competing against each other in coon hunting. Dogs had to participate in competitions such as water races, drag competitions and treeing contests.

Seasonal hunting for coons was at its highest in the mid-20th century.

In the 1946/47 season for instance, around one million raccoon were hunted. This number quickly rose to 2 million in the next sixteen years. The 1976/77 hunting season saw an all time high number of raccoons being hunted down for their meat and fur. The total number of the coons killed was 5.2 million. As the century came to an end, raccoon hunting started dwindling down. This was caused by the fall in prices of coon fur thus sparking a fall in demand of the coons. In 1980 to 1990, the number of coons killed was around 3.2 to 4.7 million. By the time the 90s were coming around the number had drastically dropped to 0.9 million.

The reduction in coon hunting had several effects on various sectors. One of the biggest effects was the uncontrolled breeding and multiplication of the raccoons. As the coon populations increased, they soon started venturing into peoples’ homes and gardens causing a lot of damage. Another

FOOTBALL from page 1

the field under second-year head coach John Warren. Central had a tough time scoring points against most of its opponents from last year, as the Bears were shutout in seven games. The main point of emphasis for Central heading into the spring is just to improve anywhere and everywhere on both sides of the football.

Hernando: The Leopards had a successful season in 2018 under first-year head coach Rob Kazmier, who guided Hernando to the Class 5A State playoffs.

Despite the Leopards falling 2814 to Baker County in the regional quarterfinal, Hernando returns a talented group this spring but will focus on the offensive side of the ball. Kazmier will have to replace the likes of quarterback Boston Tafelski and running backs David Hale Bronson, Israel Fields.

Nature Coast: No team ended the 2018 season losing more production in the backfield than Nature Coast. Michael Weston graduates this spring and he led the Sharks all the way to the Class 5A, Region 2 final. Weston’s 2,000-yard plus campaign now leads to the search of who will replace him in the backfield. One interesting caveat will be the inclusion of Weeki Wachee transfer Vaughn Sykora,

who set the county record for passing touchdowns in a single season. The main focus for the Sharks will revolve around the offense and Sykora.

Springstead: Another 7-3 record and another season in which the Eagles just missed out on the postseason. Springstead is another club that will likely have its eyes set on revamping the offense, as last season’s leading rusher Nathan Sims will be graduating, leaving a huge void in the backfield. Likely to see more touches in Mike Garofano’s offense is junior Toby Rahman, who rushed for nearly 300 yards last fall.

Weeki Wachee: The Hornets’ football program was hit with two big blows this off-season, with head coach Jacob Gray stepping down and quarterback Vaughn Sykora transferring over to Nature Coast. Stepping in as the school’s next head coach is former Moore Haven High School offensive coordinator Chris Cook. Moore Haven was predominantly a run-first club and rushed for over 260 yards a game and went 7-3 this past season. Cook has also coached at Sebring and Hardee County High Schools, respectively. Look for the Hornets to focus on the running game heavily this spring.

RECAP AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALICE MARY HERDEN

Hernando and Citrus County High Schools competed in the Hernando Citrus Classic on April 3, 2019 at Weeki Wachee High School. Hernando, Central, Springstead, Nature Coast Tech, Weeki Wachee, Crystal River, Seven Rivers, Citrus and Lecanto competed on the track and field.

On the girls side, NCT came away in the No. 1 spot with a score of 198.

Springstead took No. 2 ranking with 125, Weeki Wachee No. 4 with a score of 70, Central and Hernando at No. 7 and 8 respectively.

Springstead Boys earned the No. 1 ranking with a score of 144.

effect was the rise in demand of coon fur.

The fall in the hunting pressure had caused a wide scarcity of the fur and therefore, with time, demand was back to an all-time high.

These two factors led to a revival and there are now various organizations throughout most states, which facilitate coon hunting and bring coon-hunting enthusiasts together. It is however important to note that different states have different rules on coon hunting, so if you receive an invitation to run along behind a hound or two, check the states DNR regs to be sure and play within the rules.

Today, people hunt coon just for the pure fun of it. But, it saddens me that the art of hound training and handling is soon to be yet another historical practice lost to time.

I thank you all for visiting with me here at Hernando Sun each week and I love hearing from you too. Drop me a note at Toby@ HernandoSun.com and tell me about your own success on the hunt.

Butcher Shop aiming to offer more than just superior cuts of meat

F

by HERNANDO SUN STAFF

rom lamb and pork crown roasts, country bacon and homemade sausages and burgers to thick, 60-day, wet-aged ribeye steaks, traditional butcher shops offer high-quality, unusual cuts of meats prepared on the premises with huge amounts of personal pride.

One such quality purveyor of everything meaty is family-run Carlisle’s Neighborhood Meat Market. Recently relocated and expanded to newer and larger premises, its butcher shop is now at 7601 Horse Lake Road in Brooksville.

Owned and operated by Elaine and Mitch Carlisle and new partners Mike and Kim Smith, they have over 30 years of business experience. The group offers the best quality meats not normally found in supermarkets and with very competitive prices. All are USDA quality meats, natural and hormone free.

Mitch Carlisle is the epitome of a classic aproned butcher and he and everyone at Carlisle’s Neighborhood Meat Market are more than ready to help customers on choosing that special cut of meat and the best way to cook it.

“I want to be the butcher that customers can approach and get advice on cooking their crown roast of pork or prime rib,” said Carlisle.

Elaine Carlisle, his wife, is developing plans of her own to complement the meat market.

“Along with Gabriela (Gabby) Kennedy, a neighbour of mine, we wanted to venture into some type of female entrepreneur business so we’re planning to open our deli in the meat market,” Elaine said.

“There’s absolutely plenty of room for us to have a separate deli area,” said Elaine. “So we knocked down a partition wall and once the electrical work is finished, we can start moving in our display cases and equipment for the deli area,” she said. “It should all be complete in about a month.”

To introduce their venture, the pair has already been serving homemade Cubans on Saturdays. At $6 a piece, customers have been coming back for more. Starting this week, deli sandwiches and Cubans will be available Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

“All of the meat we’ll use at the deli comes from right here in the meat market, said Gabby. “And we have the perfect outdoor seating area where customers can linger and enjoy their sandwiches.”

Gabby’s husband, Jimmy Kennedy also plays a part in getting this deli up and running.

“He helps us out on Saturdays and is our ‘Mr. Fixit’ around here,” said Gabby.

Elaine and Gabby plan to serve a whole variety of deli foods including Cubans, sandwiches, meatball subs, pasta salads,

cheeses and a very special fish dip. All the ham, turkey and pork will come from the meat market.

“We want to keep it all inhouse,” said Elaine. “We’ve been working on this project for a long time and have even developed our own secret, special recipes.”

Elaine and Gabby explained that people nowadays really care about what they’re eating and where it comes from.

“For example, we don’t just use sliced pork for our deli products,” said Elaine. “We cook the pork ourselves and pull it apart ourselves,” they said.

Whether it’s beef, pork, lamb, poultry or fish, Carlisle’s products are a cut above what is available at chain grocery stores.

If you just want to throw some burgers on a grill, get some ground beef from Carlisle’s. No need to bother with seasoning. The ground beef here is juicy, flavorful and it’s all made fresh every day.

The burgers and sausages are made fresh every morning. Burgers come in flavors of bacon, cheddar, sweet onion, western and bleu cheese flavors. Varieties of homemade sausages are Tuscan garlic, cherry, Italian, Jalapeño spicy and roasted pineapple.

Inside the meat market is spotlessly clean. Gleaming white, stainless steel display cabinets are bursting with a selection of beef prime cuts, pork, duck, chicken, top quality rashers of bacon, gourmet burger patties and handmade sausages of several different flavors.

Carlisle’s also offers a frozen selection of the more unusual meats that include venison, buffalo, elk, duck, gator, rabbit, quail, frog legs, and Ahi tuna and wild salmon, as well as all the supplies you need for your smoker or grill.

This butcher shop is becoming a one-stop shop; where shoppers can buy and order next month’s meat requirements, choose what’s for dinner tonight and linger for a deli lunch all at once. ”People are hungry for good-quality, old-fashioned homemade food,” Elaine says.

“The secret to staying in business today is to offer the best you can and that’s what makes our customers come back again and again.”

Starting this week, Gabby will be serving sandwiches and Cubans on Thursday, Friday

Dedicated Publix employees volunteer at the Arc Nature Coast

BY SARAH NACHIN HERNANDO SUN WRITER

Despite a steady rainfall on Tuesday, April 3, more than eighty Publix employees showed up at 7:30 a.m. at the Arc Nature Coast center in Spring Hill to work outside sprucing up the grounds of the facility. They put in several hours work, taking breaks intermittently under canopies to get out of the rain. It was all part of the annual Day of Caring that Publix sponsors in conjunction with their Publix Serves program. The company launched Publix Serves in 2015 as its community program that unites its associates in community service efforts.

According to the corporate website, “Publix Serves empowers our associates, supports our communities and impacts countless nonprofit organizations throughout our operating area. As a company that’s committed to giving back, we’re excited to have more than 5,700 associates

volunteering in the communities where we live and work.”

Stephanie McDowell, Assistant Store Manager at the Publix on Commercial Way in the Lakewood Plaza spearheaded the project and organized the volunteers.

This is her second year heading up the Day of Caring project.

“I chose the Arc Nature Coast for this year’s project because some of the other store managers mentioned the organization. Employees from ten different stores in the area showed up,” Ms. McDowell stated.

When she met with Nancy Stubbs, Development Director of the Arc Nature Coast, to find out what the volunteers could do to help, Nancy suggested the cleanup work. The volunteers cleaned out flowerbeds, did some re-mulching and pruned trees.

They also cleaned windows, tables and counters inside the building.

“To have this many people volunteer their time is just so

huge. It also gives us an opportunity to introduce the people we serve to people who have never been to our facility to learn more about us. It’s not just about what they’re doing on the grounds, but it’s an opportunity for more people to get to know us,” Ms. Stubbs remarked.

“In the past Publix volunteers have helped out at the Neff Lake facility. They cleaned out the equestrian barn, cleaned out gutters and installed benches,” she contin-

ued.

Mark Barry, Executive Director of the Arc Nature Coast, commented, “We’re very grateful for the impact this project will have.

Helping our people takes most of our resources, so cleaning our flowerbeds will have a big impact on the look of our grounds. The fact that Publix came out to help us with this conveys to our community that Publix values the Arc Nature Coast.”

Adoption fees are $50 for adult dogs over 25 pounds, $70 for puppies and small dogs under 25 pounds, $25 for heartworm positive and senior dogs, $20 for adult cats and $40 for kittens.

We are so proud of our kids. This is how peer mentoring helps children become responsible, caring adults and the children build long lasting friendships,” stated Amanda Hutchinson, Unit Director.

light up a room wherever he went. He was our umpire in the men’s senior softballleague and would bring us corn from Frazier Farms where he worked, which my grandson AJ always looked forward to. His eccentric holiday outfits always brought out the best in everyone. He will surely be missed by all. Rest in Peace!” - Ron Valure President, SSIL “Thanks for letting me say a few words about Boomer. He was a special person and he always had a smile....a more fun loving person you will ever know. He was a friend to all. Everyone loved him.”

- Larry “As you can see, Boomer was a great man.

He loved to make people feel good. He was a very nice person and loved to have fun. My family just loves him. We golfed Wednesdays and sometimes on the weekends.

He made me feel like a good friend all the time.

I really am going to miss him. He had a way of making everyone smile and laugh!” - Arthur R Grzyb

“He was just a real likable guy, he would bring smiles to everybody. At the nursing homes, he would go and cheer people up. He was involved in all the sports, of course, shuffleboard, horseshoes, bowling, softball, golf, you name it, he did it all.” - David Frazier.

From his infectious laugh to his wild personality, Boomer was always a blessing to be around.

He had such a big heart and so many stories he shared with all of our fellow golfers. He could brighten anyone’s day and we are certain there is a special place in heaven for him. “Our Dear Brother Boomer” -Rivard Golf Club “We’ll see you later, Boomer.” -- Lisa MacUltra

Dr. Maria Scunziano-Singh has opened doors to her Naturopathic based wellness center for community events, Yoga and Retail Shopping prior to the official grand opening, which will be announced in the upcoming months. The new campus in Spring Hill, FL has energy flowing as events are being unveiled in Hernando County.

The campus, with three unique buildings set among organic gardens has been a dream of Dr. Maria’s and is now a reality. Her mission, “To embrace and educate fellow humans individually and collectively in harmony for the attainment and sustenance of health, peace and fulfillment of life” is being unveiled one building at a time. Classes such as Gardening and Cooking, Yoga Studio use and the “Be Empowered” youth

program focused on middle and high school students are all in full swing. Events this month that occurred include The Greater Hernando Chamber of Commerce Health Connections, who launched their quarterly group meeting with speaker Kim Farmer of Mile High Fitness.

CHIPP, Hernando’s Community Health Improvement Plan Partnership held their awards ceremony for “The Great Hernando Weight Loss Challenge” at the WellCome OM Center.

Dr. Maria was one of the speakers who congratulated the Challengers. She encouraged them not to “make excuses” and to continue making healthy choices on their journey as CHIPP presented awards to successful weight loss participants.

Future events to come before month’s end (open to the public some will need pre-registration) are as follows; Sunday’s mental health education with counselor Matthew

Fox for those who want to learn a technique without medication helpful in managing life obstacles such as grief, anger management, addiction and PTSD issues, Cooking classes including visiting Chef Victor from Zen Forrest restaurant, Earth Day “Sunset Yoga” celebration, and ending the month with the launch of their new retail store “The Conscious Market.”

Wellness coaching is available and coming soon will be the launch of the Therapy Building which will be announced and for full services in the future.

When you see me fly too high, float me gently back to ground.

Tie my winged body down.

Stake me in your garden grove between the onion and the rose, where I’ll grow and thrive unnoticed.

If you take me for a weed, uproot me, let me soar again, high above your compost bin-until you see me fly too high.

Then take me down a peg or two, stop my bubble head from swelling, prevent hot air from over filling.

If my britches get too small, and my high horse throws me off, scrape me from that haughty street.

Set me back on humble feet.

Toss me to a cloud-free sky.

Wait and see if I still rise.

If so, stay... and watch me fly.

PUBLIC NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE AIR PERMIT Florida Department of Environmental Protection Division of Air Resource Management, Office of Permitting and Compliance Draft Air Permit No. 0530021-076-AC CEMEX Construction Materials Florida, LLC, Brooksville South Cement Plant Hernando County, Florida Applicant: The applicant for this project is CEMEX Construction Materials Florida, LLC. The applicant’s responsible official and mailing address are: Alberto Calleros, Plant Manager; CEMEX Construction Materials Florida, LLC; Brooksville South Cement Plant; 10311 Cement Plant Road, Brooksville, FL 34601.

Facility Location: The applicant operates the existing Brooksville South Cement Plant, which is in Hernando County at 10311 Cement Plant Road in Brooksville, Florida.

Project: CEMEX Construction Materials Florida, LLC proposes to fire alternative fuel materials (AFM) in Kiln 1 (Emissions Unit No. 020). The proposed AFM fall into the following categories: Plastics, roofing materials, agricultural biogenic materials, untreated and treated cellulosic biomass, carpet-derived fuel, biosolids and engineered fuel. Engineered fuels are non-hazardous combustible materials and wastes that are blended to achieve consistent heating value, moisture and ash content, particle size and volatility. CEMEX also proposes to modify its existing AFM handling system, which feeds AFM solely into Kiln 2. The proposed modifications include additional grinding, shredding, screening and sizing equipment and a system to feed AFM into both Kilns 1 and 2. This permitting action does not authorize any increase in clinker production rate above the currently permitted rates. There will be no significant emissions increase of any regulated pollutant due to the project. Emission increases of particulate matter (PM), PM with a mean aerodynamic diameter of 10 microns or less, and PM with a mean aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 microns or less are estimated at 3.8 tons, 3.0 tons, and 0.9 tons per year, respectively.

Permitting Authority: Applications for air construction permits are subject to review in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 403, Florida Statutes (F.S.) and Chapters 62-4, 62-210 and 62-212 of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). The proposed project is not exempt from air permitting requirements and an air permit is required to perform the proposed work. The Permitting Authority responsible for making a permit determination for this project is the Office of Permitting and Compliance in the Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Air Resource Management. The Permitting Authority’s physical address is: 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida. The Permitting Authority’s mailing address is: 2600 Blair Stone Road, MS #5505, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400. The Permitting Authority’s phone number is 850-717-9000.

Project File: A complete project file is available for public inspection during the normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (except legal holidays), at the address indicated above for the Permitting Authority. The complete project file includes the Draft Permit, the Technical Evaluation and Preliminary Determination, the application and information submitted by the applicant (exclusive of confidential records under Section 403.111, F.S.). Interested persons may contact the Permitting Authority’s project engineer for additional information at the address and phone number listed above. In addition, electronic copies of these documents are available on the following web site by entering the draft permit number: https://fldep.dep.state.fl.us/air/emission/apds/default.asp.

Notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit: The Permitting Authority gives notice of its intent to issue an air construction permit to the applicant for the project described above. The applicant has provided reasonable assurance that operation of proposed equipment will not adversely impact air quality and that the project will comply with all applicable provisions of Chapters 62-4, 62-204, 62-210, 62-212, 62-296 and 62-297, F.A.C. The Permitting Authority will issue a Final Permit in accordance with the conditions of the proposed Draft Permit unless a timely petition for an administrative hearing is filed under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. or unless public comment received in accordance with this notice results in a different decision or a significant change of terms or conditions.

Comments: The Permitting Authority will accept written comments concerning the proposed Draft Permit for a period of 14 days from the date of publication of the Public Notice. Written comments must be received by the Permitting Authority by close of business (5:00 p.m.) on or before the end of this 14-day period. If written comments received result in a significant change to the Draft Permit, the Permitting Authority shall revise the Draft Permit and require, if applicable, another Public Notice. All comments filed will be made available for public inspection.

Petitions: A person whose substantial interests are affected by the proposed permitting decision may petition for an administrative hearing in accordance with Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. Petitions filed by any persons other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), F.S., must be filed within 14 days of publication of the Public Notice or receipt of a written notice, whichever occurs first. Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who asked the Permitting Authority for notice of agency action may file a petition within 14 days of receipt of that notice, regardless of the date of publication. A petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above, at the time of filing. A petition for administrative hearing must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received) with the Agency Clerk in the Office of General Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, MS 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, Agency_Clerk@dep.state.fl.us, before the deadline. The failure of any person to file a petition within the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person’s right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S., or to intervene in this proceeding and participate as a party to it.

Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the approval of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C. A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Permitting Authority’s action is based must contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency’s file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, any email address, telephone number and any facsimile number of the petitioner; the name, address any email address, telephone number, and any facsimile number of the petitioner’s representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner’s substantial interests will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when and how each petitioner received notice of the agency action or proposed decision; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so state; (e) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action; (f) A statement of the specific rules or statutes the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action including an explanation of how the alleged facts relate to the specific rules or statutes; and, (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action the petitioner wishes the agency to take with respect to the agency’s proposed action. A petition that does not dispute the material facts upon which the Permitting Authority’s action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C. Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means that the Permitting Authority’s final action may be different from the position taken by it in this Public Notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of the Permitting Authority on the application have the right to petition to become a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above.

Extension of Time: Under Rule 62-110.106(4), F.A.C., a person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department’s action may also request an extension of time to file a petition for an administrative hearing. The Department may, for good cause shown, grant the request for an extension of time. Requests for extension of time must be filed with the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 323993000, or via electronic correspondence at Agency_Clerk@dep.state.fl.us, before the deadline for filing a petition for an administrative hearing. A timely request for extension of time shall toll the running of the time period for filing a petition until the request is acted upon.

Mediation: Mediation is not available in this proceeding.

Gender shaming of men shows feminist desperation

Stephanie Pappas wrote a rambling article for the American Psychological Association virtually declaring war on men and boys. Acting like masculinity is a disease would alter the present toxicity of men’s behavior. These guidelines would assist males to be more passive and tolerant, which would alter the culture of the USA for the better according to Ms. Pappas.

This male bashing piece went so far as to indict white males for being dominant corporate executives as if it were an indicator of males’ repression of females. The changing of men’s nature denies the diversity of individuals and allows only one acceptable behavior. Yet, some feminist want men to be miraculously transformed Almost immediately following this sophomoric anti-male rant, advertising geniuses released the almost two minute Gillette commercial. It portrayed all men as toxic animals, misogynist, sexual harassers, and boys as bullies.

The aim supposedly was to place Gillette on the side of the “Me Too” movement by emphasizing their motto “Is this the best a man can get?” or do. This berating, shaming, belittling does not do anything to elevate women but puts down men with a vengeance.

Masculinity is now supposed to be toxic. Men consistently take dangerous jobs and fight in wars to maintain our freedom.

This risk taking is an important natural characteristic of men who have protected and courageously advanced civilization. Children are being taught that men are a menace and villains. This is destroying any positive feelings of children towards men. It not only lowers the image of men in the eyes of the younger generation. It lessens the image of men as well as of boys. Thus, it denigrates half the population.

Since the 1960s the feminist movement has attempted to have women be more like men. The feminists had been successful in turning many women against their traditional role of being a mother, homemaker, building a protective nest, to raise their family and assist their husband.

The women’s movements advanced through university women’s studies, co-conspiring with the media, Hollywood’s glorifying the independence of females in the workforce and disparaging housewives/mothers as modern slaves.

This attack on mothers and housewives was hugely successful. Many young women delayed getting married and instead chose the glorious college experience.

Currently the tide appears to be turning as many professional women are choosing to return to the home so as not to miss those precious moments and events in raising children and family. The undeniable “ticking of the internal clock” of motherhood is overtaking ambition for many professional women. The reality of the cutthroat nature of the business world for females has become clearer with each passing year of their career.

The hardcore stand of feminists that women always have to be believed over the “all rapist male” population is losing its support.

Many women have sons, husbands and brothers who the women Domenick Maglio, PhD. is a columnist carried by various newspapers, an author of several books and owner/ director of Wider Horizons School, a college prep program.

The Christian direction and purpose

What lies over the ocean?

When I was young I heard a song that I sang for years, now and then, mainly just humming the words in my head. I don’t remember where I first heard it. Might have been at school, might have been on the radio, or even on TV. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Sing Along with Mitch because I could read by then. The song went like this: My body lies over ocean My body lies over sea My body lies over ocean Oh bring back my to me.

the the the body

What a fascinatingly gruesome idea, I thought.

I had recently discovered Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff movies and many others thanks to Shock Theater. My version of that show had a guy in a Frankenstein monster costume rising from a plywood coffin to announce that night’s movie, which later became a double-feature. So I figured, in my “Shocker, shocker, shocker” way, that the song was sung by a guy who was a ghost and wanted his body back.

Later I heard that it was a song from World War One. Ah, that made sense. A soldier’s ghost over here wanted his body back from over there. It was a shocking idea, and I loved it.

Then, when I was a young father, I bought a book of songs for the guitar to sing to my kids, and there it was. But instead of “body” it was “Bonnie.” What? Who’s Bonnie? I couldn’t figure it out! Was she a nurse

know are not rapists. The Duke Lacrosse Team/ Towanda Brawley incident and the Judge Kavanaugh debacle have demonstrated how far feminists will go to support another woman.

These staunch feminists will lie for another woman to besmirch a male’s reputation and career.

The total lack of female sexual responsibility also is starting to cause females to rethink such irrational sexual behavior as hooking up, having casual sex, and not taking birth control precautions. Women are now realizing they are part of

GOOFY STUFF

By VINCENT CARDEGIN who died in France? And the guy was still alive?

Many more years later I looked it up. Turns out the song was from 1746, maybe, and about Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) and had to do with the Battle of Culloden. Well, I like the World War One version better. I like the “body” version best.

And that’s not the only time I couldn’t figure out what the singer was saying. The most notorious was Anne Murry’s Snow Bird. My whole family was singing it wrong.

We were singing along to the LP playing in the dresser-like entertainment center of the early 70s, and I wish I could remember all our wrong words because they made more sense, but I’ve now heard the right words too many times to remember. My best reconstruction of the first stanza is this: Beneath the snowy mountain so pristine The autumn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green.

The snowbird sings the song he always sings And speaks to me of showers that will soon begin in spring.

It sounded right to us.

A few years later, I was singing “Hi shocking Sherry, but I did not shoot the deputy.” It didn’t make sense, but it was Rock-n-Roll. I tried

the problem. Not all males or all females are toxic.

They are wired differently.

Men are more physically aggressive to protect and hunt to earn a living while females are more “nesters” who are the center of the family. Studies have shown absentee females or males have an incredibly negative impact on the children in the family. Both are necessary for a healthy family life.

Gender shaming of all males as rapists and generally evil is backfiring.

Many females are realizing that men are invaluable to

to visualize what Sherry looked like that made her so shocking: wild hair, exotic makeup? Then I saw Eric Clapton sing it on TV and discovered he was saying “I shot the sheriff…” That ruined it for me. I no longer like the song.

The latest I got wrong was by the Spice Girls.

I was singing, “If you wanna be my lover, first you have to be my friend.”

My version wasn’t exactly sound-alike, but that’s how I sung it in my head, and I thought it was very mature of them, that band.

The actual second line is, “You gotta get with my friends.” What? Why would I want to get with your friends? I wonder if, like Change Blindness, there’s such a thing as Expectational Deafness, for I heard only how I thought it should be sung.

Oh, I’m sure I’m still hearing all kinds of wrong words from the little I listen to of popular songs.

I don’t care enough about them to even make a mental note. But I will always sing songs the way I hear them. So as far as I’m concerned, that guy’s body lies over the ocean.

P.S. Since the advent of YouTube, the only time I listen to music is when I can see it being played: flash mobs, live concerts, indoor orchestras. Recently I discovered sites that show the sheet music playing along, mostly classical. It is mind-bending!

have a stable, happy and healthy family life. The more the feminists realize the tide is changing the more their tactics become radicalized, which drives more and more women out of this obnoxious subculture. Their extreme desperation is awakening a majority of the modern females to this hysterical movement.

Interdependence not excluding males in the female existence is a wise, reality decision.

Many people believe it’s their mission in life to tell everyone what to do and how to believe and I’m sure there have been times when we have been guilty of something similar. There are situations when we feel that individuals need sound advice and this might be true, but it’s also common to forget that everyone has a right to think and live however they want. Christians do not intend to be insulting, but sometimes their message can be offensive and in rare cases some end up living in isolation because everyone intentionally avoids them. It’s true, serious Christians have a burden and really care about others, but sometimes they take matters into their own hands and do not wait for God to guide them. It becomes even worse when concern turns to condemnation or even hatred for what someone else believes, which no matter how civil and courteous it might appear, no one can walk in the peace of God and embrace unforgiveness at the same time. Since the beginning of history, humans have drawn religious and political lines in the sand and dared the other side to cross over as strife and judgment is embedded within our nature. Unfortunately, being divided is so common that we would not comprehend how to act any other way. Jesus talks about how we should display spiritual love instead of being led by our emotions, but sadly, instead of accepting his guidelines for charitable living, many who boldly call themselves his disciples believe it’s their responsibility to fight against anyone whose theological, social, or political views are contrary to their own.

You and I are never going to save anyone because only God can do that. We can instruct those who want to learn and demonstrate what we believe, but that is about the extent of it. For those who are convinced they know everything, it’s nearly impossible to gain their respect. In the rare situation that anyone has ever listened to you and followed your suggestions, you should consider it a miracle. Even counselors that are paid handsomely from those who are seeking advice will confess it’s sporadic that anyone follows what they suggest. This reveals why Jesus has such a small following as the scripture relays that, “narrow is the way to eternal life and few there be that will find it.” Speaking of choices, the Bible is filled with stories and insights that illustrates the beauty of obedience and the negative consequences of rebellion.

We are reminded of the simple illustration of a child who behaves badly and is disciplined while another follows instructions and is rewarded.

The concept of good and evil is associated with an obedient person who follows God’s divine order even if it means personal sacrifice while the disobedient individual who lives independently is content to trust their emotions and base every decision on what they want to do.

So, what have we as Christians been called to do and how can we help a world of people who could care less about God? Well, you can search for yourself, but I’m convinced the meaning of life is to yield our will to God. With many years of thought behind this answer I have not found anything more important than to know, love, and obey the Lord.

Matthew 22:36-38 says, “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law? Jesus replied, love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.” The Bible advises everyone to seek out their own salvation with fear and trembling because the decisions we make today will have a direct impact on our next life. This is a reality we can choose to explore or we can continue ignoring and hoping for the best which by the way, is the foundation of freewill. For the Christian, freewill includes how intimate we want to be to God, however, accepting the responsibility of being a representative for his kingdom does not allow compromising our faith or playing both sides of the fence.

Yes, it’s difficult to live in a state of spiritual sensitivity, but if we desire to be pleasing to the Lord, it will always be in direct cooperation with the Holy Spirit.

After all is said and done, our spiritual success will be determined by our love and devotion to God. William F. Holland Jr., DD., C.ED.D. is a Christian minister, chaplain, and author.

Working on behalf of abused children

LOCAL RESIDENT RECOGNIZED FOR HER EXTRAORDINARY SERVICE ON BEHALF OF ABUSED CHILDREN

BY MARCIA HILTY, LCSW CIRCUIT DIRECTOR

On Friday, April 5, 2019, during the 5th Judicial Circuit Guardian ad Litem Program’s annual Volunteer Reception, which was held in the Villages and attended by more than 175 people from throughout the 5th Judicial Circuit, an exceptional Hernando County citizen was recognized for her 26 years of service to local abused, abandoned and neglected children.

Out of a field of more than 600 local and nearly 6,000 regional volunteers, Valerie Homer-Faggart was selected as the State of Florida’s Northern Region Volunteer of the Year.

Her selection qualifies her

for consideration for the Statewide Guardian ad Litem of the Year Award.

Ms. Homer-Faggart is a New York native.

Having served as a child advocate in her home state, upon becoming settled here in Florida she joined the Guardian ad Litem Program in 1993.

Since that time, she has accepted assignment to more than 75 cases, involving well over a hundred children.

Not only does Valerie apply her advocacy in the community and courtroom, Valerie has been known to drive out of state to visit “her children.” She helps those who have basic needs, including clothing, personal hygiene products

and school supplies and those who have complex needs like medical, mental health and juvenile justice related issues.

Ms. Homer-Faggart has also been featured as a guest speaker on radio and television shows. She has mentored those who are new to the role as child advocate and has assisted staff with numerous in-service training sessions.

Ms. Homer-Faggart’s dedication to and compassion for children inspires all who come into contact with her and it is for this reason she was awarded one of the Guardian ad Litem’s most prestigious awards.
