By TIMES WIRES
Published December 18, 2006
A Nigerian nun, Sister Ann Osheiza Otonoku, will begin training at Hospice of Citrus County today. Sister Ann works in a small Catholic hospital in Gwagwalada, Nigeria. She is one of 730 Handmaids of the Holy Child Jesus who care for the sick and shut-in. They also educate children, women, the poor and the disabled. Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church in Inverness invited Sister Ann to partner with the hospice to learn new skills that she can take back to Nigeria. CFCC has dates set for spring semester Central Florida Community College's Citrus campus has announced dates for registration and orientation sessions for the spring semester. They are Wednesday and Jan. 3. The registration sessions will be from 10 a.m. to noon in Building L2-203 and orientation will be from noon to 1 p.m. in the Jerome Multipurpose Room. Students must attend both registration and orientation sessions in order to start classes Jan. 4. The Citrus campus is at 3800 S Lecanto Highway.

Boat ramp users told to be cautious Residents using Citrus County freshwater boat ramps are encouraged to use extra caution while launching their vessels. The Citrus County commission issued the boat ramp advisory Sunday. Because of continued low freshwater levels throughout the Citrus County lakes system, boaters are urged to be cautious when launching and loading.
