Owner of Unlicensed East Williston Nightclub Convicted of Felony ChargesBy Terry WittSenior Staff Writer

A Williston man was convicted in Levy County Circuit Court on Aug. 26 of operating an unlicensed nightclub in east Williston where alcohol, marijuana and cocaine were purchased and consumed by customers.

Eugene Donald, Jr. played music loud enough that neighbors were forced to spend the night in motels because they couldn’t sleep, the sheriff’s office said, and cars were unable to travel down the street in front of the club because of parked vehicles.

The Levy County Sheriff’s Office said gunfire was also heard in the area of the club and one man was wounded.

Donald was convicted by a six-member jury of maintaining a place where alcohol was sold without a license and of keeping or maintaining a public nuisance where drugs were used or sold.

Undercover agents working for the Florida Department of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco entered Club 212 on Aug. 24, 2013 and saw patrons openly using marijuana. They also noticed several Blood gang members had pot for sale.

Agents working undercover purchased marijuana and alcohol in the club on Oct. 12, 2013. They saw patrons smoking marijuana, according to a report.

State agents entered the club on Oct. 19, 2013 and purchased alcohol and observed marijuana being used by customers. Agents were also approached by customers wanting to sell them powder cocaine.

The undercover investigation continued on Nov. 1, 2013 when the Levy County Sheriff’s Office with assistance from the Joint Gainesville Police Department and Alachua County Sheriff’s Office High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) unit made two marijuana purchases in the club and two purchases of alcohol.

The HIDTA unit also purchased marijuana from two patrons. They saw marijuana being used by patrons and believe they saw powder cocaine being used in the club.

Levy County sheriff’s deputies had previously been called to Club 212 in response to loud music and shots being fired. One victim was shot in the foot by gunfire. Many fights had broken out and residents of the area complained of the road being blocked to Club 212.

Law enforcement officers on more than one occasion saw Donald and his wife Chrissi Donald carrying boxes of alcohol from their vehicle to the club. Mrs. Donald is facing the same charges as her husband, but has not pleaded out or gone to trial.

The closest county commission race anyone can remember finally ended Friday when District 4 county commission candidate Lilly Rooks defeated Commissioner Ryan Bell by three votes.

“Every vote counts,” Rooks responded in a text to the Journal.

Rooks finished with 1,728 votes to 1,725 for Bell. Commissioner Chad Johnson gained three votes in the machine recount but finished with 35 less than Rock Meeks.

Johnson totaled 1,705 to Meeks’ 1,740.Jones said the Bell/Rooks race was the closest she has seen

in her 20 years working in the elections office.Bell was trailing Rooks by five votes after Tuesday’s

primary election.There were four separate recounts of the vote. The first

was Tuesday night when the canvassing board rechecked the machine vote tapes for accuracy because the District 4 race was so close. Then followed a count of 14 provisional ballots on Thursday where Bell added one vote to his total.

On Friday the canvassing board ran the ballots through the same scanners used on Tuesday and there was one vote

difference. A ballot in Raleigh had jammed on election night and hadn’t been counted by the scanner. When it was run through the vote scanner Friday, Bell got one additional vote.

Three votes separated Rooks and Bell.The machine recount also revealed there were 95 under

votes. An under vote occurs when the voter doesn’t fill in the oval for either candidate. The canvassing board reviewed each ballot to ensure the 95 voters hadn’t marked either candidate’s name.

As required by state law, the canvassing board moved to a location where the manual recount of under votes and the


Two officials of the Suwannee River Water Management District met with Bronson officials on Aug. 17 and said they are convinced a ditch that runs along the western border of Bronson is in fact a ditch and not a stream as claimed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Leroy Marshall, a water resources engineer for SRWMD who works on FEMA issues for the district said it’s obvious the ditch has numerous culverts that

were installed many years ago and could not be a natural occurring stream or a navigable waterway.

Marshall and John C. “Jack” Hampton, vice president of Water Information Technologies associated with Akins North America, Inc. also expressed concern about an earthen roadway that was built across the ditch near Bronson by a private landowner. The ditch is blocking water flow from Bronson to neighboring Chunky Pond.

The two men met with Town Clerk Kelli Brettel and Councilman Berlon Weeks after being


One of the most frustrating federally funded housing projects in Levy County history continued to be a source of irritation for County Commissioners Tuesday when the cost and timetable for fixing a septic tank and drain field changed again at a home near Inglis.

Ronald Vanzant of Jordan and Associates and Joakim (Jay) Nordqvist, principal engineer with GSE Engineering and Consulting, Inc. said the

troublesome drain field filled with stormwater during recent heavy rains and will force changes in the way water is drained from the property. He described the drain field as being like a big bath tub.

Commissioners voted to approve a change order allowing the engineering firm to conduct tests to determine water levels in the drain field and in a neighboring canal and then build a ditch containing a drain pipe that will capture stormwater from the house and carport and channel it to the canal.

Commissioner John Meeks said he wasn’t an engineer, but he wondered if the Southwest Florida Water Management District would approve the new design since it jets water directly into a canal. Nordqvist said the water he is talking about is ground water, but he acknowledged it was a concern.

Commissioners were reluctant to approve the request in light of the fact that they had previously discussed the possibility of storm water from heavy rains draining from both sides


A request by a Williston area minister for construction of a sidewalk along County Road 335 was partially honored by Levy County Commissioners Tuesday when they agreed to seek bids to get a better idea of how much the

project would cost.Pastor Carl Carnagie of

Miracle Vision Tabernacle said school children walk along the busy road each day to attend the Miracle Vision Tabernacle’s Vision Christian Academy. He said a sidewalk would make their walk safer.

Carnagie has attended county

commission meetings previously to ask for the sidewalk but the closest he came was when commissioners agreed to apply for a state grant to fund the project.

Administrative Road Superintendent Bruce Greenlee said he filed for the safe routes to school grant earlier this year but doubts the project would be funded or

constructed before 2018 or 2019 at the earliest.

Commission Chairman Ryan Bell said he visited the site and found truck traffic heavy. He described the traffic flow as “truck, truck, truck, truck, and car,” meaning it was mostly truck traffic.

Debate Breaks Out about Bronson Clerk’s Pay Raise Request


Bronson Town Clerk Kelli Brettel was the center of a loud debate Tuesday night about the raise in pay she has requested, and it appears she has support for a higher base salary, though the question is how much.

Brettel asked to have her base pay raised from $38,000 to $55,000. She currently receives about $44,000 to $45,000 when overtime is factored into her annual earnings as the town’s top administrator.

The debate broke out between Councilman Berlon Weeks, who spoke through a conference call connection and Mayor Franklin Schuler, with both men agreeing Brettel was worth much more than she is paid.

Schuler cautioned the council and Weeks that the town needs to be careful about how much it gives employees for pay raises. He said the town can’t afford to give everyone what they are worth.

“We don’t want to get like a lot of other places,

A website that writes satirical stories published a fictitious article on Labor Day claiming Williston was replacing its police department with a new privatized police force operated by Wal-Mart.

It wasn’t true. The Williston Police Department wasn’t amused.“This story is a futile attempt of humor and has absolutely no truth! The Williston Police

Department will continue to serve the Citizens of Williston and all who pass through like they have done since 1897,” said Chief Dennis Strow.

The story prompted numerous calls, emails and Facebook posts asking about the validity of the story and its fictional Mayor Kevin Michaels. The mayor of Williston is Gerald Hethcoat.

The story claimed the city is struggling financially, which is also untrue. Wal-Mart doesn’t take the site seriously.“That’s a satirical website,” spokesman Betsy Hardin told the Journal. “We work very

closely with the police departments in the community where we have stores.”But she said Wal-Mart doesn’t provide private police services for communities.Strow said he discovered the article when a friend from Ocala called him to make fun of

him and the claims made in the story. He posted it on the police website and told people it was pure fiction.

But the story triggered an avalanche of comments and criticism from people who thought the story was true.

“Over the weekend people began going ballistic,” he said. “People said it’s because city leaders have refused to let Wal-Mart come into town.”

The problem is that people believe everything they read on the Internet, Strow said.“We don’t even have a Wal-Mart and state law says police departments can’t be replaced by

private security,” Strow said.The story dragged on for three pages, quoting a Wal-Mart official as saying the company

was excited to be taking over police duties in Williston. The interview was fictitious too.“We’re grateful that the town of Williston granted us this opportunity and we look

forward to showing America that Walmart is more than just a retail outlet. We aren’t just here to help you save money, we’re also hoping Walmart is known throughout the nation and around the globe for dabbling in other fields than just retail, from haircuts to auto repair to commercial property and beyond,” the satirical article quoted Geoffrey K. Lisle with Wal-Mart as saying.

“It’s a lie,” responded Strow. “There’s no truth to the story.”Hethcoat said when he first read the story he thought maybe the people mentioned in the

story were from other cities with the same name, like Williston, South Dakota, but when he checked those city websites there was no one by that name.

“Well then I thought maybe we’re going to get a Wal-Mart store in Williston, and that wasn’t true either,” he said. “It was all a joke.”

Hethcoat said it seems odd to him that people can just make up a story that is completely false. He is aware of all the calls and emails the police department received as a result of the story.

“To me it seems sort of crazy that people can write what they want and it doesn’t have to be true,” he said.

Hethcoat said he was interested in taking advantage of the $100 voucher the local Wal-Mart was offering Williston residents when Wal-Mart takes over the town’s police

department.Strow said the $100

voucher was the only thing he liked, too.

Of course, they were joking.

Proud to be an American Comebacks

At a time when our president and some politicians tend to apologize for our country s̀ prior actions, here s̀ a refresher on how some of our former patriots handled negative comments about our country.

JFK’S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early ‘60s when Charles de Gaulle decided to pull out of NATO. De Gaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.

Rusk responded “Does that include those who are buried here?”De Gaulle did not respond.You could have heard a pin drop

When in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building by George Bush.

He answered by saying, “Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.”

You could have heard a pin drop.

There was a conference in France with a number of international engineers taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying “Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?”

A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: “Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day; they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day; and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?”


A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals

from the American, English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, “Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?”

Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, “Maybe it’s because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German.”


And Finally...Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French

Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carryon.“You have been to France before, monsieur?” the customs officer asked sarcastically.Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.“Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.”The American said, “The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.”“Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France!”The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly

explained, ‘’Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to.”


Be Proud to be an American.

Motorcyclist Critically Injured in Chiefland Crash

A motorcycle slammed into the side of a car in Chiefland Saturday, critically injuring the biker, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

The driver of the car, Vera Mae Thomas, 68, Chiefland, was stopped in the northbound lane of U.S. 19 in the left turn lane. When she turned left onto State Road 20 she drove into the path of the southbound motorcycle.

The motorcyclist, 47-year-old Daniel Keith Mason of Minnetonka, Minn., was ejected when the motorcycle hit the right front of the car. He landed 20 feet south of the collision.

FHP said the crash occurred at 10:25 a.m. Charges are pending the outcome of the investigation.

asked by U.S Rep. Ted Yoho to investigate complaints by the town that FEMA is starting a Waccasassa River Basin study that describes the ditch as the Magee Branch Tributary. Brettel and Weeks said the ditch is not a natural stream.

Marshall and Hampton said the study is in the discovery stages where FEMA will take input from residents of the basin to reveal any problems that might be occurring, but they didn’t think it would be difficult to rename the ditch a ditch.

The town has hired Jones Edmonds to develop a stormwater master plan that includes the ditch and Chunky Pond. The first phase of the study identified the ditch as a ditch and noted that the swamps and wetlands west and northwest of Bronson have considerable storage capacity for flood water. Bronson would like to finish its study before the FEMA study begins.

Levy County Commissioners say they are waiting for the town’s stormwater master plan to be completed before they decide whether to assist the town with the ditch issues.

Bronson has researched the ditch and found that it was

constructed as part of the Works Progress Administration program to put people back to work in the Great Depression. It was constructed as a flood and mosquito control structure. Levy County Mosquito Control at one time maintained the ditch with consent from private landowners when there were obstructions or blockages that caused ponding or flooding on private property.

In the late 1960s, the state and Southwest Florida Water Management District widened a canal and expanded a small dam that allows water to drain from the pond during and after the rainy season to prevent flooding in Bronson. Weeks gave Marshall and Hampton a tour of the facility and showed them portions of the ditch that are blocked by an earthen roadway constructed by a landowner.

An Ocala Star Banner story dated March 14, 1966 said the Waccasassa Basin Chunky Pond project would expand the small dam and canal leading to it and construct a mosquito control ditch four miles long, 12 feet wide and four feet deep southward through Deer Pen Slough and into Magee Branch. The story said Levy County Mosquito Control

would fund costs above what is spent by SWFWMD and the former State Fresh Water Fish and Game Commission.

Bronson has had problems convincing anyone in state or federal government that the ditch is a ditch and that it was intended as a flood control and mosquito control structure. FEMA has taken the position that the ditch is a tributary of the Magee Branch stream. The stream exists several miles south of Bronson at a much lower elevation.

Bronson has no record of being flooded. The town’s business district is built at the edge of a swamp, but the elevation of the town rises sharply from U.S. 27A to nearby sand hills. The town didn’t flood during Hurricane Elena in 1985, nor did it flood during the heavy El Niño of 1997-98 or Tropical Storm Debby in 2012.

FEMA has declared portions of downtown Bronson as being flood hazard areas. The town would like to change those maps through its stormwater master plan study.

Marshall and Hampson are not sure what they can do about the blockage in the ditch but they plan to research statutes and district rules to find out what can be done.

Debate Breaks Out about Bronson Clerk’s Pay Raise Request continued from page 1A

spending for this and spending for that,” Schuler said.Weeks said Brettel does the work of a clerk and a city

manager and possibly one other position and isn’t being paid for what she had done to bring the town out of the dark era when its finances were in ruins.

With the town on the brink of growth due to the upcoming sewer expansion project, Weeks said Brettel is in a pivotal role to continue to manage the town’s growth and bring prosperity and jobs to Bronson.

“She is invaluable and I hope you never get rid of her,” Weeks said, adding later, “she is an amazing workhorse.”

The subject of Brettel’s pay raise request was raised by Councilman Bruce Greenlee, who was the first to say Brettel does the work of two to three administrators worth a combined salary of $125,000 in towns like Inglis and Chiefland.

“When you go to other cities these jobs are handled by two or three people,” Greenlee said.

Greenlee said he would return with a proposal for compensating Brettel and the town’s other employees.In other business:

• The town council was ready to approve ADT as the company that would provide nighttime security services at the town library until Levy County Library Director Lisa Brasher spoke up and said she believes the company used by the county would be far less expensive. The Bronson Library has been hit by numerous burglaries. The quote from ADT was $249 for equipment and installation including two motion detectors, an interior sounder, door contacts and a keypad. The monthly monitoring free would be $51.99. The council held off on buying that system when Brasher said she believes

the town could get a different system from Security Systems of North Central Florida for a $20 monthly monitoring system.• Council members gave Fire Chief Dennis Russell permission to spend up to $800 to purchase a security system for the fire house. Russell said numerous pieces of equipment have disappeared, including a $3,500 radio that has yet to be found. He believes cameras in the fire house will prevent further thefts. He plans to buy the system at the Sam’s

Club in Gainesville.• Greenlee took council suggestions on which roads

they would prefer to have improved with a state Small County Outreach Program (SCOP) grant. The town has received a letter from the Florida Department of Transportation asking for proposed projects. Among the council favorites were NE 78th St. and NE 98 Ave.; Cobb, Blitch and Hardee Streets; and Pine Lane. The state will look at community benefit, condition of the roads and the number of residences on the streets.

• Russell told council members the Levy County Commission gave the town $25,000 to upgrade its air packs for Fire Rescue units. The town will provide the other $25,000.

• Resident Elijah Williams asked the council why certain projects never seem to be completed. He was particularly interested in a sidewalk the council had discussed. Schuler and Greenlee said the sidewalk project Williams sought will cost about $30,000 and has been placed in the town’s new capital improvements schedule of projects. But Greenlee said the town can’t just spend $30,000 on a sidewalk without planning for the expenditure. He said the same is true of the traffic light at Pine Street and U.S. 27A. He said the highway belongs to the state and the state will determine when a traffic light is needed at the intersection.

• The council learned that County Commissioner John Meeks has spent a considerable amount of recreational money under his control buying sports equipment for the town’s youth, including football uniforms, new helmets, shoulder pads, a water boy system and playground equipment. Each county commissioner receives a set amount of recreation money to spend in their district each year. Meeks represents Bronson.

Since Obama won two presidential elections, chances are that some of those who now “strongly disapprove” of what he has done voted to put him in office. We all make mistakes, but the real question is whether we learn from them.

With many people now acting as if it is time for “a woman” to become president, apparently they have learned absolutely nothing from the disastrous results of the irresponsible self-indulgence of choosing a President of the United States on the basis of demographic characteristics, instead of individual qualifications.

It would not matter to me if the next five presidents in a row were all women, if these happened to be the best individuals available at the time. But to say that we should now elect “a woman” president in 2016 is to say that we are willfully blind to the dangers of putting life and death decisions in the hands of someone chosen for symbolic reasons.

If we were to choose just “a woman” as our next president, would that mean that any criticism of that president would be considered to be a sign of being against women?

No public official should be considered to be above criticism -- and the higher up that official is, the more important it is to hold his or her feet to the fire when it comes to carrying out duties involving the life and death of individuals and the fate of the nation.

We have not yet had a Jewish president. If and when we do, does that mean that any criticism of that individual should be stigmatized and dismissed as anti-Semitism? What of our first Italian American president, our first Asian American president?

Human beings of every background are imperfect creatures. When they are in a position high enough for their imperfections to bring disasters to more than 300 million Americans, the last thing we need is to stifle criticism of what they do.

It is by no means guaranteed that this country will survive the long-run consequences of

the disastrous decisions already made by Barack Obama, especially his pretense of stopping Iran’s becoming a nuclear power.

Obama may no longer be in office when those chickens come home to roost.If we wake up some morning and find some American city in radioactive ruins, will we

connect the dots and see this as a consequence of voting to elect an unknown and untried man, for the sake of racial symbolism?

Among those who look around for someone to blame, how many will look in the mirror?Presidents already have too much insulation from criticism -- and from reality.When President Calvin Coolidge caught everyone by surprise in 1928, by announcing

that he would not run for reelection, despite a prosperous economy and his own personal popularity, he simply said, “I do not choose to run.” Coolidge was a man of very few words, despite his knowledge of multiple languages. Someone once said that Coolidge could be silent in five different languages.

But, when he later wrote a small autobiography, Coolidge explained the inherent dangers in the office of President of the United States, especially when one person remains in the White House too long.

“It is difficult for men in high office to avoid the malady of self-delusion. They are always surrounded by worshippers. They are constantly, and for the most part sincerely, assured of their greatness.

“They live in an artificial atmosphere of adulation and exaltation which sooner or later impairs their judgment. They are in grave danger of becoming careless and arrogant.”

Of presidents who served eight years in office, he said, “in almost every instance” the last years of their terms show little “constructive accomplishments” and those years are often “clouded with grave disappointments.”

Another president chosen for demographic representation (whether by race, sex or whatever), and further insulated from criticism and from reality, is the last thing we need.

Irresponsible Choices

By Lt. Col. Allen West

The Obama White House reined in the Pentagon after the joint press conference last week delivered by Secretary of Defense Hagel and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dempsey, where they spoke plainly about the ISIS threat. The new mantra was that ISIS didn’t pose an immediate threat to the American homeland and was more of a regional danger.

Remember Marie Harf ’s idiotic comments that James Foley’s beheading had nothing to do with the U.S.?

Well, not 72 hours later, there was a revelation that shook this country (or at least should)– an American had been killed fighting for ISIS.

As reported by USA Today, “Douglas McArthur McCain, a 33-year-old American who lived in Minnesota and San Diego was killed in Syria, where he had gone to fight alongside terrorists. A national security spokeswoman at the White House, Caitlin Hayden, said upon his death Tuesday that U.S. officials had been aware of his presence in Syria. McCain had traveled to Syria to join a militant group, believed to be the Islamic State, Associated Press reported, citing a U.S. official who declined to be identified by name and spoke only on condition of anonymity.”

After the incident with Carlos Bledsoe, who was radicalized, went to Somalia and Yemen for terrorist training, and returned to America to gun down two U.S. Army

soldiers at a Little Rock recruiting station, you might think we’d have a better system. And to hear that U.S. officials were aware of his presence begs this question: how many more do they know are there? Instead of listening in on the cell phone calls of average everyday Americans, the federal government can focus their efforts on these guys.

“We were aware of U.S. Citizen Douglas McArthur McCain’s presence in Syria and can confirm his death,” Hayden said. “We continue to use every tool we possess to disrupt and dissuade individuals from traveling abroad for violent jihad and to track and engage those who return.”

Well, may I suggest we do a little bit better?His cousin, Kenyata McCain, said she was in touch

with Douglas McCain as recently as Friday, and “he was telling all of us he was in Turkey.” “I know that he had strong Muslim beliefs,” she said, “but I didn’t know that he was in support of ISIS. I didn’t think he would be.” CNN reported that McCain’s uncle, Ken McCain, said the State Department informed the family Monday of McCain’s death. Ken McCain told CNN the family was “devastated” and “just as surprised as the country” to learn of his nephew’s participation with IS. Ken McCain said his nephew converted from Christianity to Islam several years ago.”

Perhaps the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) conference in Detroit this week can address this situation — after all, the theme is “Generations Rise.”

And as I sit here writing this, I hear reports that there may be another American jihadist fighting with ISIS killed over this past weekend. The Free Syrian Army through the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) is providing the information — what is chilling is that they had their passports on them.

So do we now officially recognize we have a “homegrown

jihadist” issue in America? Can we stop with the political correctness and firmly embrace the concept that there is radical Islamist proselytizing and recruiting occurring in America?

This isn’t just a foreign intelligence failure, it’s also a domestic intelligence failure — or is the Obama administration purposefully dismissing this issue? There can be no debate that ISIS is just some regional problem, it is a growing global threat — especially through its use of social media and international recruiting efforts.

In South Florida, namely Pompano Beach, construction will soon begin on a massive new Islamic center — right in the heart of the black community. A black pastor, O’Neal Dozier, has been sounding the alarm and all he gets in return is castigation as an “Islamophobe.” Perhaps, just perhaps, he was prescient and could see the coming storm of homegrown Islamic jihadism targeted in the black community.

I remember the vaunted Arab Spring. Well, we are in the midst of the Islamist nightmare.

Allen West was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. He is the third of four generations of military servicemen in his family.

During his 22 year career in the United States Army, Lieutenant Colonel West served in several combat zones: in Operation Desert Storm, in Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he was a Battalion Commander in the Army’s 4th Infantry Division, and later in Afghanistan. He received many honors including a Bronze Star, three Meritorious Service Medals, three Army Commendation Medals and a Valorous Unit Award. In 1993 he was named the US Army ROTC Instructor of the Year.

After his retirement from the Army in 2004, Allen taught high

American Killed Fighting for ISIS:Anybody Still Think We Don’t Have a Homegrown Problem?

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today issued the following statement regarding the reported killing of Steven Sotloff, an American journalist from Florida, by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) terrorist group:

“Steven Sotloff was a man of enormous courage and decency. Through his journalism, he demonstrated deep personal compassion toward the Middle East and its people. He hoped to shine a light on both the good and the bad of the region – to show the world the dramatic potential of its people as well as the stark forces of evil holding them back. As Steven was a native of Florida, my office has been in contact with his family throughout their ordeal, and today my heart goes out to all who loved him as they make the painful transition from fear to grief.

“Steven’s balanced and earnest approach to journalism was met with love by many in the Middle East, but with brutal disdain by those whose tactics stood in such clear contrast to his own. Through Steven’s execution, ISIL has demonstrated yet again its limitless capacity for cruelty and its unbridled hatred of freedom-loving people everywhere. ISIL continues to establish that its violent grasp for regional control represents a threat to the American people, our allies, and the principles of freedom and human rights that we cherish.

“The horrifying clarity of ISIL’s message toward America should have been met from the beginning with an equally

clear opposing message. ISIL is now the best funded terrorist group ever established and has large areas of territory under their control. There is no disease that becomes easier to treat the longer you wait, and as history has shown time and again, it is the same with malignant forces in global affairs. If we do not act now to assist our Iraqi partners and moderate Syrians who oppose ISIL, as well as utilize our own forces to directly target ISIL’s leadership, the result will be more suffering and tragedy for our people.

Patronage & Quid Pro QuoAccording to Webster’s Dictionary of the American Language, one definition of the word

“patronage” is “the power to appoint to office or grant other favors, esp. political ones.” Quid pro quo is defined as “something for something; one thing in return for another.” Why, then, should anyone be surprised that the Most Powerful Politician in the

World, a product of Chicago sleaze with the media in his pocket, has made the following appointments?

Susan Rice, former UN Ambassatrix and current National Security Adviser--wife of ABC News producer Ian Cameron.

Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications--brother of CBS News President David Rhodes.

Jay Carney, former White House Press Secretary--husband of ABC News correspondent Claire Shipman

Katie Hogan, Obama 2012 reelection campaign Deputy Press Secretary-- wife of ABC News reporter Matthew Jaffe.

Elizabeth Sherwood, White House Special Adviser--sister of ABC News President Ben Sherwood.

In college (BA, NYU, 1954), I studied Russian and political science and later served in Korea with United States Army Intelligence. After law school (JD, NYU, 1959) for some 50 years I practiced constitutional and appellate law. From 1972 to 1993 I taught at Brooklyn Law School, where I am now professor emeritus. My courses included Constitutional Law, Appellate Advocacy and First Amendment. A bibliography of my writing can be found at my blog of June 29, 2012. See also www.henrymarkholzer.com.

Williston said he was worried about setting a precedent by building a sidewalk for one private school. He said if the request was honored by the commission, it might be asked to fund other sidewalk projects.

“I don’t know if I could justify that happening,” Stevens said.

Commissioner John Meeks said he was torn over the issue, and not just politically. He said one of his campaign promises was to build a sidewalk up to the Bronson schools. There’s no sidewalk leading to either Bronson school.

But he said the county’s policy has been to use state grant funding to build sidewalks.

He said he would feel terrible if one of those children walking on CR 335 was injured after the county turned down the project.

Stevens reminded commissioners it took eight years to get a sidewalk funded at Williston Middle School. Stevens was worried that Greenlee’s cost estimate of $14,000 could rise when the sidewalk was actually built. He wanted more exact cost estimates.

County Coordinator Freddie Moody suggested the county obtain bids. He said the bids may not be binding. The bids would give the commission a better of idea of what the true project costs would be.

Meeks motioned to let Greenlee bid the project to determine the actual cost. It passed 4-0 with Commissioner Mike Joyner absent.

Williston City Manager Scott Lippman said a major truck company uses County Road 335. He suggested contacting the company and proposing a public/private sidewalk project.

Moody said the road does run through Whitehurst Cattle Company property, but he said his impression is that there may be friction between the Whitehurst family and school officials that might eliminate any possibility of a public/private project.

The county coordinator said bids should come back about the time a new board is seated. In addition to the cost of the sidewalk, he said the county will probably be charged a fee by its engineer to write the bid specifications.

into the new drain field and causing problems. They felt they had received assurances that the issue was being addressed. But Nordqvist said the project is extremely complex and designing a drain field that works is difficult.

The home of Debra and Roberto Tarafa was constructed in Peaceful Acres. The house stands on a peninsula of land bordered by a canal on one side. The peninsula extends into Lake Rousseau. The soil drains poorly. Engineers suspect soil removed when the canal was built was likely used to create the residential lot for the home and yard. The property is a low spot where water naturally collects from a nearby street.

“Unfortunately this is not well suited for a septic tank. It shouldn’t be there,” said Nordqvist.

The county rehabilitated the home with a federal

Community Development Block Grant and had no idea the property would drain poorly. On top of that, Commission Chairman Ryan Bell said the previous owner added pipes to the drain field area that were invisible until county contractors tried to install a new septic tank and drain field and discovered the pipes. Nordqvist said one of the old pipes was a direct outfall into the canal when the drain field overflowed.

Bell said board members are past the point of being angry about the constant changes and delays, but he and others on the board wanted assurances the project would be completed by Nov. 30, the latest deadline set by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, the state agency overseeing the CDBG grant. Nordqvist said he was confident the project

would be finished by Nov. 30.Commissioners approved the change order for the project

on a 4-0 vote. Commissioner Mike Joyner was absent for medical reasons. He also missed the previous meeting for the same reason.

The additional testing by GSE will cost no more than $2,000. GSE will also perform monitoring services at a daily cost approved previously by commissioners.

The goal of the commission is to build a septic tank and drain field that will function for many years to come. The system must be operable for a year and a day to fulfill the county’s warranty on the work.

Summer is here and it is hot, hot and hotter! Even though the temperature outside is rising, find comfort in knowing you can prevent scorching energy use this season. To beat the heat and protect yourself against unusually high energy use, Duke Energy Florida encourages you to always use SUNBLOCK.

S – Schedule routine air conditioning system maintenance. Cooling typically accounts for up to 30 percent of your electricity cost in the summer. A thorough examination can ensure your system is operating at maximum efficiency.

U – Use a fan to supplement your air conditioning. A fan can make you feel three to four degrees cooler, so you can set your thermostat a few degrees higher to save on cooling costs. In the summer, fans should rotate in a counter-clockwise direction. Keep in mind that fans cool people, not rooms, so only use them in occupied living spaces.

N – Nurture your landscape. Planting the correct tree species in the correct location can lower household energy consumption up to 25 percent. Shrubs and small trees near air conditioners and heat pumps can provide shade while minimizing the amount of energy needed to cool your home. However, be sure to keep airflow to the units open and free of debris.

B – Block the sun by closing blinds, drapes and shades during the hottest part of the day.

This will help keep your home cool and your energy bill down.

L – Light your home with less heat. Compact-fluorescent light (CFL)bulbs last up to 10 times longer and use 75 percent less energy than standard bulbs. One CFL bulb is four times more energy-efficient than a regular light bulb and produces less heat.

O – Opt to cook with your outdoor grill or countertop appliance, such as your microwave. Using the oven on a hot summer day forces your air-conditioning unit to work harder, which can lead to higher energy use. Choose to grill outdoors instead of baking and savor the sweet taste of energy savings.

C – Clean or change your air-conditioning filters monthly. Dirty filters can reduce airflow and increase operating costs.

K – Keep your thermostat at the highest comfortable setting. For each degree above 78, you’ll save 10 percent on your cooling costs. For central air conditioning systems, keep the fan switch on your thermostat in the “auto” position when cooling. Having the fan switch “on” continuously could increase your monthly electric bill.

For consistent savings, SUNBLOCK should be applied daily.

By Lisa Statham Posteraro, former adviser In June the following “rising 5th graders” were invited to

become Williston Elementary School safety patrol trainees. Their 4th grade classroom teachers had nominated them based on their excellent citizenship as well as academic standing and attendance. The administration and special area teachers also concurred that they would be assets to the organization.

Kudos to new patrol trainees Isabella Acosta, Nolan Benton, Elizabeth Bloom, Naomi Boyer, Samantha Carswell, John Golom, Jasmine Harris, Madison Hars, Erik Hildebrandt, Krystianna Knapp, Taylor McCurdy, Amber McGillicuddy, Ken Monding, Jonathan Morales, Jeremy Phillips, Hannah Piatt, Regan Sapp, Gracie Sheffield, Daniel Vance, Chellsea Vaughn, MiKaya Wimberly, Clayton Yelvington and Teresa Zahradka.

The new advisers for this year are Yvette Velez (lead adviser)

and co-advisers Kathy Brewington, Rhesa Collop, Deneen Gamble, Yelitza Graulau and Becky Zank. On the first Wednesday in September, the group members held their first after-school meeting and prepared for their first fund raiser, Country Meats Smoked Snacks!

Founded by the American Automobile Association (AAA) in 1929, the safety patrol is a wonderful organization which gives 5th graders the opportunity to learn about civic responsibility. Besides providing a helpful service for our school, the WES Safety Patrol gives those service-minded young people an opportunity for leadership training as well. They also experience the camaraderie of working toward a common goal. (There is also the option of going to Washington, D.C., in June with other Levy County patrollers, hosted by the Levy County Sheriff’s Office.)

Again, congratulations to the new WES Safety Patrol trainees!

The local chapter of the Korean War Veteran’s Association this Sunday will serve families of veterans a meal at the Gainesville Fisher House’s new outdoor summer kitchen. The group donated the money to build the kitchen, which is equipped with a 42” premium TwinEagles grill perfect for hot dogs, hamburgers and other tasty barbeque concoctions.

The Korean War Veteran’s Association will be the first to use the outdoor kitchen and serve a meal to the guests of the Gainesville Fisher House, which provides free housing to families of veterans receiving treatment at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center.

The local branch of the Korean War Veteran’s Association has been a key sponsor of the Gainesville Fisher House Foundation, the community group that supports the Gainesville Fisher House, a 20-bedroom structure on SW Archer Road, that is nearly full with families of hospitalized veterans. The house, built by private community funding, was opened in May 2014.

The first family, a mother with her two children, entered the Gainesville Fisher House in early July. They were greeted by the house manager and shown to their room, complete with a private, all-accessible bathroom, closet, TV, two beds and a desk. All 20 bedrooms have similar features, but each is uniquely designed to emanate the aura of Northern Florida.

The house also includes a communal indoor kitchen, entertainment room, screened-in back porch, library, dining room, and a large summer kitchen in the back yard.

With money donated from local organizations and individuals, the foundation buys basic and emergency necessities for the families and recently launched a Community Meals Program that will begin in October.

Log Cabin Quilter The Log Cabin Quilters met Thurs., Aug. 28th at the Levy County Quilt

Museum. Cynthia from Ellzey came by for a first time visit and helped with the quilting on the quilt in the frame. Joyce wanted to see how her quilt top looked with the hearts that are to be appliquéd. Dorothy from Oak Park Village brought her nephew, Mike from Switzerland in for a visit. He came to celebrate her 90th birthday with her.

We’re making plans to enter a display in Scarecrow City, an event planned by the Chiefland Chamber of Commerce. The event will start Sat., Oct 4 and end before Thanksgiving. We’re planning a scarecrow lady and are busy getting the bits and pieces to assemble her. One of our problems is that she needs a head. We were discussing it Thursday and Alice Mae said that all we need is a round piece of material and a little more material for the ears. She said that it was easy and there was nothing to it. I told Alice Mae that she was talking

to me and it would be anything but easy for me. Thankfully she took home some material and poly fill to work on the head. Now all we need to do is plan everything else. You’ll have to wait until October to find out where our ideas will lead us.

Greg and the boys were out this week. Inside and out look terrific. Thanks Lancaster.

This Welcome Rooster panel was a recent donation and made a great wall hanging.

Doris had finished this penny rug that we’ll hang in the Museum. Penny rugs were stated in the 1800s when women used whatever was available to make beautiful decorations for their homes. Penny rugs are not rugs but decorative covers for tables, walls, shelves, etc.

Billy Graham’s Prayer for the Nation Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness, and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says “Woe to those who call evil good” but that is exactly what we have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.We have killed our unborn and called it choice.We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem. We have abused power and called it politics.We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition.We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from sin and set us free. Amen.

With the Lord’s help may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire, so that we once again can be called “One nation under God.”

Recounts Give Rooks Three-Vote Victory Over Bell continued from page 1A

oral deliberations of the board could be recorded, which turned out to be the county commission meeting room in the Levy County Courthouse. The canvassing board reviewed all 95 under votes and confirmed that no votes had been cast for either candidate.

County Judge Tim Browning, the canvassing board chairman, held up each ballot for the Press to see to ensure total transparency. Supervisor of Elections Tammy Jones suggested he hold them up for the public to see. Jones and County Commissioner Danny Stevens were the other two canvassing board members.

One ballot had an ink spot in one of the ovals, as though the voter had thought about filling in the oval and placed the

point of the pen on the ballot, but changed his or her mind. The ink spot, which was nothing more than a speck, wasn’t big enough to qualify as a vote. State law says the canvassing board determines whether enough of the oval was filled in to indicate voter intent.

There were no over votes. An over vote occurs when a voter fills in the ovals of both candidates, or sometimes will fill in both ovals, then mark an X through the one he or she does or doesn’t like. The canvassing board must decide how the voter intended to vote. But merely marking an X through an oval doesn’t mean the voter intended to vote for that person. If the voter drew an arrow pointing to one oval or the other, it would provide a clearer indication of intent, according to Jones.

The provisional ballots were an education for all who listened in the audience. Voters who are legally registered to vote in another county but have a current address in Levy County can vote with a provisional ballot. Their signature at the precinct must match their signature from the county where they were registered. Canvassing board members reviewed each provisional ballot and voted on whether the ballot met the requirements of Florida. There were a variety circumstances that resulted in provisional ballots being cast.

The elections office staff called the counties where the provisional voters had been registered to confirm they were legally registered to vote there. State law allows registered voters to cross county lines to vote if they have a legal address in the second county. The state views this type of situation as a change of address, according to Jones. They can’t vote in both counties.

• The ballot of a man registered in Alachua County with a Levy County address was approved because the signatures matched.

• A voter registered in Leon County with a Levy County address, drew a split vote from the board. Canvassing board members disagreed on whether the signature was the same. The vote was 2-1 to approve the ballot.

• The vote of a Democrat who was registered in Levy County but didn’t provide identification at the precinct was found to be a good because the signatures matched.

• Another case involved a voter registered in Leon County with a Levy County address. The vote was 3-0 to approve the vote. The signatures matched.

• One case involved a Bradford County voter whose signature at the precinct didn’t match the one from Bradford County. The Republican ballot was rejected on a 3-0 vote.

• The ballot of a Republican who tried to vote absentee and also vote at the precinct was rejected on a 3-0 vote. He tried to vote twice, the board said.

• The ballot of a non-party voter who was registered in Broward County but the vote here was rejected when the signatures didn’t match.

• The vote of a man who was a registered Republican and requested a Democratic ballot, and voted as a Democrat, was rejected. His vote was rejected 3-0 because he wasn’t registered to vote as a Democrat.

“He had a different ballot than his party,” Stevens said. Florida has closed primaries. All candidates in the two county commission races were Republicans. Only registered Republicans could vote in those races. Democrats could vote in state-wide races and one judicial race, but non-party voters could only vote in a judicial race.

• In one precinct a non-party voter forgot to bring his or her identification. The signatures matched and the ballot was approved on a 2-1 vote. There was disagreement on the board as to whether the signature on the provisional ballot matched the voter’s signature in the elections office.

• The ballot of a voter registered in Marion County with a Levy County address was approved because the signatures matched.

• A registered Democrat from Citrus County who had a Levy County address was approved by a 2-1 vote. The board disagreed on whether the signatures matched.

• Another ballot was approved for a Republican voter who brought in identification listing her maiden name. She had married and hadn’t changed her identification. The canvassing board checked the signatures and approved her ballot 3-0.

• A Democratic absentee ballot was rejected because the signatures didn’t match.

• The ballot of a Democrat from Alachua County who has a Levy County address was approved when the signatures matched.

SECTION B

Story and photos by Terry WittSenior Staff Writer

Bronson’s fumbles, dropped passes, an interception and its failure to stop a kickoff return added fuel to Chiefland’s power running game Friday and helped lift the Indians to 42-14 victory.

“We made too many critical fundamental errors to beat a good football team,” said Eagle Coach Cameron Porch. “We didn’t take care of the ball and we didn’t tackle well.”

Porch described Chiefland as a physical team, which he said is not a good matchup for Bronson, but he said if Bronson had played assignment ball it would have been okay.

Chiefland Coach Aaron Richardson said he has good kids up front on the line and “We put 11 out there that are as good as anyone in 1A.” Chiefland fielded a big offensive line and big running backs with speed.

Richardson described Bronson as an “in your face” physical team.“I don’t think it’s any secret that Bronson is the same way we are – it’s all downhill,”

Robinson said. “But we executed well at times and had some success.”Chiefland played heads up ball at the start of the game.The Indians gave Bronson the opportunity to receive the ball on the opening kickoff, but

when the kicker flubbed the kick and it bounced lazily toward the Eagles, they were slow to react. Chiefland recovered the ball and took over near midfield, setting up the first Indian touchdown, a 3-yard run by Levi Murray. The extra point was good.

Bronson drove to the Chiefland 2-yard line despite a fumble that threatened the drive, but Chiefland’s goal line stand kept the Eagles out of the end zone with 5:40 left in the first quarter. Chiefland took over at its own 2-yard line and drove to the Bronson 9 before the Eagle defense shut down Chiefland.

A costly fumble by the Eagles on the drive that followed gave Chiefland the ball at the Bronson 20 and led to a 1-yard scoring run by Murray. The extra point failed, leaving the score 13-0 with 8:46 left in the second quarter.

Bronson recovered a Chiefland fumble late in the second quarter and drove to the 50 before the Chiefland defense stopped the drive. Chiefland took over at mid-field and drove 50 yards to score on a 19-yard run by Jarquez Williams, leaving the score 19-0 with 2:39 left

in the half.The Eagles got the ball first in the second half and drove 60 yards to score on Patrick Van

Patten’s run up the middle with 7:22 left in the third quarter. The two-point conversion run failed, leaving the score 19-6.

A kickoff return by Keegan McLelland gave Chiefland good field position at the Eagle 20. Chiefland scored on 20-yard run by Jordan Strong with 6:16 left in the third quarter. Williams, Chiefland’s big fullback, plowed through the Eagle line for the two-point conversion, giving Chiefland a 27-6 lead.

Bronson’s next drive ended at Chiefland’s 1-yard line. But Williams got the Indians out of trouble when he ran 60 yards off right tackle to the Eagle 14. Chiefland scored four plays later on a Jamarion Bowers’ run. Strong ran for the two-point conversion. Chiefland led 33-6.

The drive that followed for Bronson ended with Chiefland’s Wyatt Hammond intercepting. Chiefland took over at the Bronson 47 but was stopped dead in its tracks by the Bronson defense.

The Eagles got back on the scoreboard midway through the fourth quarter when Tyler Sistrunk recovered a fumble at the 50.

Bronson’s drive nearly ended with a fumble, but the Eagles retained possession. Montrez Jackson, Bronson’s fastest running back, broke loose for a 35-yard run to score with 4:50 left in the fame. The two-point pass to Gavin Thomas was good, leaving the score 42-14.

Each year, hundreds of Levy, Gilchrist and Dixie County Florida residents suffer needlessly from vision problems simply because they can’t afford treatment -- or even just a visit to an eye doctor.

These individuals live just over the poverty level, don’t qualify for government assistance and can’t afford insurance. In many cases, if treatment is too costly, they may experience irreversible damage to their eyesight.

The Lions Club believes no one should suffer from vision loss because they are unable to afford medical treatment.

That’s why the Cedar Key Lions Club is reaching out to needy individuals in Levy, Gilchrist and Dixie counties.

Our Eye Care Assistance program was designed to cover the eye care costs of needy Levy, Gilchrist and Dixie residents who fit the eligibility criteria. We work closely with

participating eye care providers to negotiate a fee structure and cover the costs of certain expenses. Some services we cover include:

• Visits to an associated eye doctor’s office• Diagnostic testing• Eyeglasses• Minor eye care procedures• Some surgical proceduresFor more information about the Lions

Club Eye Care Assistance program’s requirements and to obtain an application, call Jennie Pinto the Cedar Key Lions Club Eye Care Assistance Chair at 1-352-325-1066.

Do you remember the days after the movie Urban Cowboy came out? Everybody had to have a cowboy hat. My mom couldn’t stand to see us go without, or stand any more of our begging, so she took our grocery money and ran my little brother Heath and I down to the Southland Mall. We each picked out one of those fancy straw hats with the pre-bent brim. They hung low over our eyes giving us that lonesome trail hand look. Mom got so caught up in the excitement she said, “Go pick you out one of those feathered hat bands too!” I grabbed one that looked like a peacock in full plume.

Before we left I noticed a rack of ‘pleather’ jackets left over from the winter selection, made out of some sort of plastic and rubber leather substitute. “Sweet,” I declared, “Look Mama, these ain’t but four dollars.” I think deep down she knew it was August, but she just couldn’t help herself. There’s never been a Sheffield from our side of the tree that could pass up a deal. So we each got one, agreeing that eating was way over rated anyhow.

When we got home I couldn’t wait to run down the street and show my new duds to this older Jr. High girl I was sweet on. Momma insisted I take little Heath. I huffed, but thumped his ear and told him to grab his ‘boyong’ jacket. (I had taken to calling them that because it’s the sound they made if you dropped one. They were bad about bouncing right back up you.) I reckon we looked mighty odd making that sweaty walk over to her house, but I remember feeling right proud. I had finally found my true identity. Somewhere inside that sticky rubber jacket was the real me. I’d be Bud, and she could be Sissy; just like in the movie.

For some reason Sissy didn’t feel much like coming out that day though, at least that’s what she said from behind the deadbolt. She said we should be going before her neighbors came home. I didn’t understand why that should matter, but I assured her we’d be back next week when we got our new boots to match. Then I thumped Heath’s ear, and we moseyed back down that lonesome trail home.

You’re probably thinking, “That Guy sure is goofy.” Well, I say, “Let him without regrets cast the first stone. If my jacket’s rubber, yours is glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.” BOYONG! Surely you’ve had periods of your life that you look back on and wonder, “What was I thinking?” A better question might be, “What am I doing now that I’ll say that about later?”

Without God we all tend to be a little flakey. The Bible says in Proverbs 21:2 that every man is right in his own eyes. Even I thought I was wrong once, but of course I was mistaken. It doesn’t take a brain scientist or a rocket surgeon to tell you that everyone couldn’t be right all the time. I get the feeling somewhere out there somebody’s blasting others when they’re actually the ones who’ve bumped their head. Sobering thought, when you consider it may be you. (I hope it’s not me right now.)

This life can be quite a journey. Five years down the road our whole set of ideals could change. That’s why we must keep the Bible as our foundation and final authority to the absolute truth. If we’re seeking God and His Word, line upon line, precept upon precept, I believe it’s possible to live out the rest of our days without straying off into too many more ditches. In the process, maybe we could cut each other a little slack. Surely we could over the non-essentials? I think God does. He knows we’re all learning and growing day by day. He’s not falling off the throne because I don’t have it all together yet. Even a Pharisee would stop and pull his mule out of the ditch once in a while. (Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Matthew 5:7 KJV) In those times a person’s goofiness crosses the line and moves over into the area of sin, a little correction may be in order. But even then we would be wise to first consult Galatians 6:1. (Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. KJV)

But anyway- I never did get those fancy cowboy boots. We opted for more of a steady meal plan, and a cheaper pair of rubber rain boots. I guess it was just as well. That girl never would return my calls after that. I didn’t mind. Heath and I were having too much fun bouncing around town in our new rubber get-ups.

The Gathering Table Restaurant hosted a Pancakes for Haven Fundraiser on August 23 and raised $200 for Haven Hospice.

“Gathering Table Restaurant Owner Paige Brookins and her staff worked diligently to take care of the large crowd and to give each customer great service,” said Haven Hospice Attic Resale Store Lead Sales Associate Nate Albano. “She even put her mom and dad to work after they stopped by to see how the event was going!”

All proceeds from the event will go to support the unreimbursed programs and services provided by Haven Hospice to the patients and families in the Tri-Counties and surrounding areas.

Jenny Callahan from First Baptist church was selling cookbooks for the 100th Church Celebration and helped pass out coupons for the Haven Hospice Attic Resale Store.

“The community response was tremendous,” said Haven Hospice Attic Resale Manager of Retail Operations Stormy Palmer-Porter. “It was such a success that we ran out of Attic coupons and the restaurant ran out of food, now that’s an event!”

Superintendent Robert Hastings helped celebrate the Grand Opening of ‘The Fueling Station….for Students of the Go’ this week even braving the heat and uninvited guests – the pesky gnats. Hastings relayed the challenge ahead of capitalizing on the success of the program as the school system seeks to upgrade services and food offered to students.

There was a 32 percent increase the first week of school with the breakfast program compared to last year. Staff will be meeting monthly to assess the progress and tweak where necessary. Since the students definitely have strong opinions of their likes and dislikes the staff is trying to accommodate whenever possible.

Rebecca Tyson, Levy County’s Coordinator of Food Service and the person getting all the nitty gritty going for this program here reports that Darlene Fowinkle, the National School Lunch Program District Specialist for Levy County, was in attendance for the Grand Opening and said:

“I found out that your district is the only district to be implementing the breakfast carts in every school! This is an accomplishment that you and your staff should be very proud of. Your dedication, motivation, and desire to provide Levy County Schools’ students with easy access to nutritious meals is to be commended. You and your staff presented a wonderful example of this during the Grand Opening Celebration of the Grab and Go Breakfast Program. I was very excited to see the support you are receiving from the community including the Mayor of Bronson, State Representatives, School Board Members, Action for Healthy Kids representatives, local IFAS representatives, and more.

“Thank you for your dedication to the students in your county and the National School Lunch

Program. Please extend to your staff our appreciation for all of their hard work!”

Tyson is also grateful for all the support saying, “Again, thank you to everyone for making this event memorable as we add another chapter in the history of the School Board of Levy County’s Food, Nutrition and Wellness Program!”
