A Floral City man faces accusations he stabbed another man in his back during a fight.

Citrus County Sheriff’s Office authorities took 27-year-old Terry Lee Marion Rimes into custody after investigating a stabbing late Saturday, Jan. 22, at the Bella Oasis Hotel in Homosassa.

Rimes was arrested on charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and resisting a law enforcement officer without violence.

Rimes was booked into the county jail under a $6,000 bond, which a judge left unchanged Sunday during Rimes’ first court appearance, court records show.

Feb. 16 was scheduled as Rimes’ arraignment before Circuit Court Judge Joel Fritton.

According to Rimes’ arrest report, obtained Thursday, sheriff’s office Major Crimes Detective Thomas Dowling responded to a reported stabbing at the hotel, where a man told deputies Rimes stabbed him six times in his back after they got into a fight outside his hotel room.

Dowling spoke to a woman who said she arranged for Rimes to meet her at the hotel earlier that afternoon, but he didn’t show.

She then asked the man and eventual stabbing victim if he’d come stay the night with her. While the couple was in the hotel room, Rimes knocked at the door.

After a brief conversation with Rimes, and thinking he was going to leave, the woman went to the front office to get snacks from a vending machine.

On her way back to the hotel room, the woman walked into her roommate, who said Rimes just stabbed him and ran away.

A sheriff’s office K-9 deputy tracked Rimes to woods behind the hotel, close to where authorities earlier found his book bag. Rimes ignored deputies’ commands to show his hands, prompting the K-9 deputy to sic his K-9 partner on Rimes to apprehend him.

While a Citrus County Fire Rescue EMS crew was treating bite wounds to his leg, Rimes told Dowling he stabbed the man because he got in a fight with him, according to his arrest report.

Rimes could not explain to the detective why the man’s stab wounds were in his back.

“One of Citrus County’s largest dog breeders” was taken into custody on felony charges alleging he severely neglected three of his canines.

Floral City 48-year-old Jason Dion Munn was arrested Monday, April 18, on three counts of aggravated animal cruelty after a warrant was issued April 11 for his apprehension as a result of a Citrus County Sheriff’s Office investigation.

According to the affidavit for Munn’s warrant, obtained Friday, sheriff’s office animal control officers responded April 1 to Pine Ridge Goldens at 7033 E. Shadywoods Court in Floral City.

They were looking into complaints Munn, the reported owner and caretaker of the property, was violating county ordinances for having inadequate kennel sizes and capacities.

Investigations revealed Munn “is one of Citrus County’s largest dog breeders” with around 10 years in the business, his arrest affidavit states.

Munn was also planning to leave the county and move out west to either Idaho or Colorado, and was trying to relocate several of his dogs before he moved.

According to his arrest report, Munn surrendered 10 dogs to Citrus County Animal Services, which then examined the canines.

Dr. Meaghan Mielo, the county animal shelter’s chief veterinarian, found one the dogs, a male husky named Meeko, was suffering from ear, dental and oral infections. Required surgery would result in hearing loss, and Meeko’s jawbone was also in severe decay.

Sheriff’s office authorities returned to Pine Ridge Goldens on April 7 to inspect the other animals there. Munn, according to his arrest report, signed permission for them to do so.

Munn also said he was aware of Meeko’s health, adding he could “smell the infection” and was planning to euthanize the dog but decided instead to relinquish the animal.

On April 8, Munn brought several more dogs to the county animal shelter.

Mielo discovered two of those dogs – a 5-year-old black Shepard named Jinn, and a 9-month-old Golden Shepard Doodle named Terri – had severe ear infections and various other medical conditions as a result of long-term neglect, according to Munn’s arrest report.

Pus was draining from both of Jinn’s ear canals, one of which was constricted and ulcerated.

Jinn’s left earflap had scarring and scabs from flies biting the skin and laying eggs within the broken tissue.

Jinn’s right earflap also showed signs of auricular hematoma – similar to cauliflower ear in humans – caused by constant head-shaking because of the discomfort from the ear infections.

Terri’s ear infections risked causing neurological dysfunction and hearing loss.

Munn’s veterinarian at the Floral City Animal Clinic also informed the county animal shelter it had no record of medical treatment being provided for any of Munn’s dogs, according to Munn’s arrest report.

County spokeswoman Veronica Kampschroer said Friday Meeko, Jinn and Terri were placed in foster-to-adopt homes, and are still receiving intensive medical care from county animal services.

Deputies jailed Munn on a $45,000 bond, which a judge left unchanged during Munn’s first court appearance on Tuesday.

May 11 was scheduled as Munn’s arraignment.

A Floral City young woman has sung at the Grand Old Opry in Nashville five times. She’s written and recorded music with country stars.

This would be an impressive accomplishment for any area resident. But Katelyn Taulbee, 29, of Floral City, has Williams Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder she was born with that has caused her to have some developmental delays and other health problems.

That has not stopped her from participating in the Lifting Lives program of the Academy of Country Music. The program is a summer camp for people with Williams Syndrome that’s organized by Vanderbilt University’s Kennedy Center, a group that studies developmental disabilities. The Academy helps fund the program.

For a week, Williams Syndrome campers meet musicians, write and record a song, and then perform it at the Grand Old Opry.

The camp also provides a chance for campers to meet others with Williams Syndrome.

It’s a fun program and Katelyn enjoys it. But that’s not the only information Katelyn would like people to know about.

Katelyn, and her mom, Katie, and Katelyn’s good friend, Taylor Kennady, who’s almost 28 and also from Floral City, would like folks to know that those with Williams Syndrome often can function quite well. Some with the syndrome can drive a car. Some even attend college.

If a parent is worried about a child with Williams Syndrome, Katelyn would like the parent to know that “It will be all right,” she said. “I would tell them, ‘I am doing fine.’”

May is National Williams Syndrome Awareness Month, and Katelyn, Katie and Taylor would like people to know some facts about Williams Syndrome.

According to www.williams-syndrome.org, the website of the national organization for those people with the syndrome and their families and friends, Williams Syndrome arises at conception when 26 to 28 genes on chromosome No. 7 spontaneously delete. This can happen in a sperm or egg.

It happens in 1 in 10,000 births. The syndrome affects both boys/men and girls/women.

Some common characteristics of those who have Williams Syndrome are developmental delays, cardiovascular delays and learning challenges. On the plus side, Williams Syndrome children often have strong verbal abilities, outgoing and warm personalities, and an affinity for music.

As Katie tells it, when Katelyn was born, she had respiratory issues and was turning blue. She was flown to All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg. There, she was treated for peripheral pulmonary stenosis – a narrowing of one or more of the branches of the pulmonary arteries.

She recovered but always seemed small for her age, weighing 18 pounds at the end of her first year. She frequently fell down. It was hard for her to digest food. Many sounds seemed like a large roar to her.

When she was 4 and in preschool, she had to visit a cardiologist. And he said, “She looks like a Williams child.”

Katie at first wondered, “Who’s William?”

The doctor explained about Williams Syndrome, and that Williams Syndrome children often have a certain look, including a broad forehead, full cheeks and lips, and a starburst effect in the iris of their eyes. They often are smaller than other people.

As Taylor said of his non-Williams Syndrome brother, “He’s a giant.”

Many of Katelyn’s health issues resolved over time, Katie said, and she said she feels both Katelyn and Taylor are healthy.

Some of Katelyn’s Williams Syndrome friends have had various surgeries, and older children and adults may have gastrointestinal and kidney problems. Some of those with the syndrome may have visual and spatial issues.

“I can’t draw,” Katelyn said.

However, there are many things Williams Syndrome people excel at – like talking intelligently, appreciating music and being friendly.

Katie said a doctor told her that Katelyn would never read.

But Katelyn worked hard. She attended Floral City Elementary School, CREST for middle school and graduated from Citrus High School in 2012. She received speech therapy, physical therapy and occupational therapy.

Katie said Katelyn now reads at about a fourth-grade level.

She attended a transition program at Withlacoochee Technical College and was the first student with Williams Syndrome to graduate from the college’s Culinary Arts program. She also has a certificate from Publix to work in the bakery.

“Doctors are not always right,” Katie said. “Fight for your kid.”

Like Katelyn, Taylor also is accomplished. He graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in Montgomery, Alabama, in 2013. While he was in Goodwin Middle School there, he played basketball and did league bowling at Bama Lanes. He continued bowling while in high school.

Some of his focuses included Spanish and computers. He participated in a transition program at Piggly Wiggly, and helped with such tasks as bagging groceries and retrieving shopping carts.

Today, he participates in softball, bowling and track through Special Olympics. He plays second base in softball and Katie has coached him. When he was younger, Taylor was in Little League.

Katelyn also participates in Special Olympics. Her sports are track, bowling, basketball and softball.

And both Katelyn and Taylor said they love music and dancing.

“She’s a dancing machine,” Katie said.

Taylor’s uncle is a pastor and travels frequently. Taylor has accompanied him many times to Georgia and other spots. And Taylor may be following in his uncle’s footsteps. He said that at his Baptist church, someone told him, “You should come up and lead church songs,” he said.

So, Taylor led the congregation in “Amazing Grace.” He loves that hymn, as well as “On Christ, the Solid Rock, I Stand,” he said.

Taylor said that earlier in his life, he wanted to have good relationships with people and “hung out with people I shouldn’t have.”

But things are different now. Besides his immediate circle, which includes Katelyn, “I have one friend, who is God,” he said. “I believe without God, none of this world would be here.”

Some of his friends and relatives have been involved in “parties and drinking and other worldly stuff,” he said.

“Without God, I might be doing that, too,” he said.

Katelyn attends First United Methodist Church of Brooksville.

She spoke highly of her hometown of Floral City.

“It’s quiet. It’s peaceful. I like the trees. There are nice people. … Everybody knows us in this town,” she said.

She said she tries to live her life by “following my dreams of what’s best for me.”

Her mom, Katie, said she’d like to tell parents of Williams Syndrome children, “Don’t give up on your Williams Syndrome kid. Just because they have a disability, you shouldn’t give up and think you can’t take care of them.”

Taylor said if he met a child with Williams Syndrome, the child, when thinking about what he or she can or cannot do, might think, “I’m too scared,” Taylor said.

“I would just try to motivate them. I would tell them, ‘If I can do it, you can,’” he said.

Katelyn said she would tell the child, “Let’s talk about it.”

She said, “I would tell them stories of what I did. My purpose is to make the world a better place and to make people as happy as they can be. Just because you have a disability, it doesn’t mean you can’t do things. I know you can do it if you just try hard.”

It’s that time of year again when the Garden Clubs in the Florida Federation come to the end of their program year. The Floral City Garden Club is no exception and annually the club closes the year with a membership luncheon.

This year the luncheon will be held May 13 at the Inverness Golf and Country Club off Old Floral City Road and the public is invited; call Mary Graff at 586-453-3883.

Members and guests will gather at 11:30 a.m. for a social period and be seated for lunch at noon. President Carol Wood will be recognizing members for their outstanding contributions to the mission of the organization and sharing plans for the summer when the Club is not officially meeting.

Program Chair Janie Stewart has shared some of those plans.

“We are planning to continue to get together this summer by meeting for lunch at local restaurants and discussing what programs and field trips we can offer to the members and community for the coming year,” she said. “In addition, we will be coming together to continue maintaining our community landscaped areas such as the Flowers & Fountain Corner, the Trailside Butterfly Garden and the Memorial Garden as well as other smaller sites. Also during the summer, we will have a roadside cleanup to keep the village looking its best.”

A roadside cleanup was recently conducted in mid-April and a crew of members revamped the Trailside Butterfly Garden in the afternoon. Downtown Floral City is the halfway point on the Withlacoochee State Trail so the club is dedicated to keeping the “Floral” in Floral City for all those who enjoy the beautiful Trail.

In the late 1990s when the Floral City Heritage Council designed and constructed the Gazebo across Orange Avenue form the Trailside Garden, the Floral City Garden Club recommended the native plants for the site and planted all of the trees and shrubs one sees there today.

A good time to visit the Gazebo Site, the Trailside Butterfly Garden and the Community Memorial Garden in the Town Center would be between 12:45 and 3 p.m. Monday, May 30, when the Lion’s Club will sponsor a cook-out and band at the Town Center following the Herbert Surber Post 225.

American Legion’s 45th Annual Memorial Day Service at the Hills of Rest Cemetery will be at 11 a.m. that day.

Members and those wishing to join the club are reminded that dues are due at the May Luncheon for the Florida Federation of Garden Club’s deadline of June 1. Checks to the Floral City Garden Club Inc. may be given to Treasurer Mary Graff.

President Carol Wood welcomes inquiries and encourages interested residents to give her a call about the programs and activities of the Floral City Garden Club. She can be reached at 813-235-3917, and the club’s website at www.floralcitygardsenclub.com presents informative “Horticulture Hints” by Horticulture Chair Kathy Lungusky and extensive information about the club and activities.

The club’s regular meetings – held on the second Friday, September through May – in the Community House in the Town Center, are free of charge and open to the public.
