Public Meeting on Regional Water Supply Issues to be Held March 7

Two water management districts and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will host a public meeting March 7 to bring stakeholders together to discuss water supply issues in north Florida.

Th e meeting will be an opportunity to share progress made and projects planned as part of the North Florida Regional Water Supply Partnership (Partnership) — an initiative to protect natural resources and ensure cost-eff ective and sustainable water supplies. A website with details about the Partnership was launched today at www.northfl oridawater.com. Th e website will be updated regularly on the progress of the Partnership and upcoming meetings.

Th e St. Johns River and Suwannee River water management districts and DEP will also announce at the meeting the formation of a stakeholder committee that will serve in an advisory capacity to the districts and DEP. Th e committee will include representatives of groups and entities from throughout the region. Input will be sought at the meeting on potential committee members.

Th e meeting will be held from 6–8 p.m. at Alachua City Hall at 15100 N.W. 142nd Terrace, Alachua.

“Th e districts and DEP have been working closely together on north Florida’s regional water supply issues,” said Hans G. Tanzler III, executive director of the St. Johns District. “We’ve made progress and it’s now time to further involve our stakeholders as we continue our forward momentum.”

Artillery Noise at Camp Blanding in Starke Next WeekBy Kathy HilliardEditor

Explosive noise on Camp Blanding will increase from March 5th through the 9th, according to a press release from the Florida National Guard and Department of Military Aff airs. Th e Camp Blanding Joint Training Center’s Pinner Range near Starke will be the site where the Florida Army National Guard’s 3rd Battalion (Plant City), 116th Field Artillery will be fi ring their new HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System). Th is exercise will take place during the week of March 5 – 9, 2012 to familiarize the unit with the new equipment and conduct live fi re exercises for certifi cation to crews on their assigned systems. According to SFC Blair Heusdens, Public Aff airs Specialist for the FNG, these new HIMARS are wheeled vehicles instead of the older track models so they were driven to Camp Blanding from Plant City for this exercise. Th e older track models had to be shipped to Fort Stewart, Ga. previously for testing and certifi cation. Huesdens said the MLRS rockets carried on the HIMARS are meant to engage enemy vehicles and artillery at long ranges up to 26 miles.

Th e Florida National Guard makes every eff ort to minimize noise but there are times such as this when noise may seem louder than normal to the public and as the wind shifts direction.

Residents near the training center can discuss noise concerns with Camp Blanding’s Range Control Offi ce at 904/682-3351 or the Florida National Guard Public Aff airs Offi ce at 904/823-0166.

For the more techy readers, GlobalSecurity.org gives this information on the HIMARS: Th e High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a highly mobile artillery rocket system that off ers MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) fi repower on a wheeled vehicle, making it an ideal system for the medium-weight brigades under the new Army Vision. Th e HIMARS launcher, a wheeled vehicle, is lighter in weight compared to the MLRS M-270 launcher. It weighs approximately 15 tons, compared to 27 tons for the M-270.

Th e HIMARS provides a lightweight, C–130 transportable version of the M–270 multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) launcher. Mounted on a 5–ton family of medium tactical vehicles (FMTV) truck chassis, it will fi re any rocket or missile in the MLRS family of munitions [MFOM]. Th e HIMARS fi res either six MLRS rockets or one Army Tactical Missile. Th e HIMARS launchers have some commonality with its older and heavier tracked cousins, the M270 and M270A1 launcher systems. Th e HIMARS design concept includes the familiar launcher module, fi re control, and digital command and control systems, and a self-reload capability. Th e HIMARS uses the same command, control, and communications, as well as the same crew, as the MLRS launcher but carries only one rocket or missile pod. It can roll on and off a C–130 transport aircraft and, when carried with a combat load, is ready to operate within 15 minutes of landing. Because of the lighter weight of using one pod rather than two, it has a faster time, compared to the M270, from the point the fi re mission is received to the actual munition fi ring.

Northern Florida Counties Hit Low Water Levels Needing Stricter Restrictions

Five counties within the Southwest Florida Water Management District’s 16-county region are now under a Modifi ed Phase III water shortage order due to below normal rainfall this winter.

Th e District’s Governing Board voted today to declare the Phase III order for northern counties in the District’s region which are: Citrus, Hernando, Lake, Levy, and Sumter as well as the City of Dunnellon and Th e Villages in Marion County. A Modifi ed Phase I alert remains in eff ect for the remaining counties in the District’s region.

Please check the map included with this notice for Levy County area included in the SWFWMD.

Under Phase III, lawn and landscape watering will be reduced to once per week starting March 10 on a specifi ed day based on address. Microirrigation and hand watering of non-lawn areas still are allowed any day; but like all irrigation, it must occur before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m.

Groundwater and surface water conditions continue to experience a downward trend based on lack of rainfall. Generally, conditions are worse in the fi ve most northern counties than other regions of the District.

Water utilities and other large users in the northern counties don’t have access to water stored in reservoirs and aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) wellfi elds like utilities operated in the central and southern counties of the District.

Phase III also includes restrictions for other water use activities. For example, pressure washing for aesthetic purposes will be prohibited. Residents also can wash vehicles only once per week.

Th e Phase III order gives local enforcement agencies the power to immediately issue citations instead of warnings for fi rst off enses.

“Groundwater levels have been critically below normal for more than 12 weeks now, and river and lake levels are so low that some boat ramps have been closed,” said Lois Sorensen, District demand management program manager. “Everyone needs to do their part.”

Modifi ed Phase III (Extreme) Water Shortage RestrictionsEff ective Dates and Aff ected Areas

• Modifi ed Phase III water shortage restrictions are scheduled to begin on March 10, 2012 and expire on June 30, 2012.

• Th e restrictions aff ect Hernando, Citrus, Sumter, Lake and Levy counties as well as the City of Dunnellon and Th e Villages in Marion County.

Williston PD received a call about 6 a.m. on Sunday Feb. 26 about a suspicious person outside an apartment at the Arbours Apartments on SW 8 Place in Williston wearing jeans and a black hoody and carrying a big stick. WPD Offi cer Strachan answered the call and saw the suspect on the second fl oor of the building when he arrived. Offi cer Strachan turned on his fl ashlight and climbed up the steps and observed the suspect hiding behind a wall that protruded into the hallway.

Offi cer Strachan shined the light on the suspect, James Ahmad Manns, 26, and asked what he was doing there. Manns said he lived there and named the apartment number but when asked for his identifi cation the card showed an Ocala address on it. Manns had his hood pulled very far down over his face and would not look up at the offi cer. When asked if he had a key to the apartment Manns said no because management had not given him one yet.

Still very suspicious, Offi cer Strachan asked if there was someone in the apartment to which Manns said yes. Manns and Offi cer Strachan approached the door and Offi cer Strachan knocked on it. After a few minutes someone answered the door asking who was there. Offi cer Strachan announced who he was and the occupant opened the door just a crack to verify that information. When she saw Manns she immediately asked why “he” was there and stated in an uneasy manner that Manns did not live there.

Suddenly Manns used his right shoulder to shove Offi cer Strachan backwards and off balance and rushed the door forcing it to open into the occupant who was pushed backwards by the door. Manns ran into the apartment, decidedly uninvited, while the occupant ran out of the apartment into the hallway to escape.

After a struggle within the apartment, Offi cer Strachan was able to take Manns to the ground and cuff him in the bedroom.

Further investigation revealed that Manns and the occupant were at one time in a relationship but had split up and Manns went to live with his mother in Ocala. Manns thought the occupant had another man in the apartment and was going to confront them. He had parked his vehicle at the Levy County Medical Station in Williston to avoid detection by his former girlfriend.

WPD once again gets their man who was processed and transported to the Levy County Jail where he was charged with Battery on an Offi cer, Battery with Intentional Touch or Strike, Resisting an Offi cer with Violence, and Burglary of an Occupied Dwelling Unarmed.

Did you know that you should never install your new Anti-Virus Program UNTIL you have uninstalled the old one? Every once in a while a client will bring in a computer with the complaint that the computer is running slower, freezing up or crashing. Unfortunately, many anti-viruses will fi ght with each other, sometimes cancelling each other’s anti-virus abilities out, leaving you at risk. Th ey may also interfere with the proper functioning of the computer’s operating system, which may cause your computer to slow down, freeze up and crash. In order to uninstall a Program, you must:

• Left click on the Start Button• Left click on Control Panel• For Win XP - Left click on Add and

Remove Programs or For Vista or Win7 – Left click on

Programs and Features• Select (left click) to highlight the

Program you are wanting to uninstall • Left click on Uninstall or RemoveIf there is more than one Anti-Virus

component listed, you must uninstall all of them. Don’t worry about which one to pick fi rst - you will receive notifi cation if you select the wrong one fi rst and can re-choose. Once those steps are done, you may then receive notifi cation to restart your computer to complete the removal process.

Some Anti-Virus programs are more

diffi cult to remove than others, as they may leave parts of their programming behind, even after you have properly completed the removal process. Th en you may receive notifi cation from your new software during installation that there is a confl ict with your old software. Or, if there was a problem with an initial installation, you may be required to use the program’s “Removal Tool” before you can reinstall it. Norton and McAfee generally require the use of their removal tools as they tend to leave pieces of themselves behind when removed in the standard way. You can fi nd them at the following web addresses:

Norton Removal Tool – ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

McAfee Removal Tool – http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

For other anti-virus programs, you will go to the Home Page for that Anti-Virus program and type “removal tool” in the search bar to download and/or run the program. You may then be prompted to restart your computer, after which you will then be able to install you new Anti-Virus program. If you are still struggling with the concept of removing programs, please feel free to give us a call, or bring your computer by for assistance.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 23, 2012) – Approximately 20 Soldiers from the Florida National Guard’s Company B, 2nd Battalion, 151st Aviation (Security and Support) are being tasked to provide aerial security at the Nation’s border. Several Soldiers from the unit’s advanced party left Cecil Field today in UH-72A Lakota helicopters bound for Texas. Th e others will follow in the coming weeks.

Th e aviators will fl y security missions in the Rio Grande Valley in support of the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Air and Marine offi ce as part of Operation Guardian.

Th e mission will involve four Florida National Guard aircraft – three Lakotas and one OH-58 Kiowa helicopter – and is projected to last until the end of December.

According to the company commander, Maj. Tom Warner, the mission will provide his Soldiers with valuable real world experience in fl ying, maintenance and refueling over the next several months. Th e crews will be fl ying for 8-10 hours each day, he added. “For us, this is as real as it gets.”

Th e unit will also use the opportunity to familiarize themselves with several new pieces of equipment that have recently been added to their aircraft, including forward-looking infrared imaging systems that help them track individuals from above 4,000 feet with infrared imaging that allows them to see at night. Th ey also have a downlink capability so others on the ground can see what they are seeing in real time.

“With these tools, we hope to help support the units there,” said Staff Sgt. Mark Rickel, a fl ight standardization instructor.

Th e Florida National Guard supported a similar mission is 2005-2006 in support of Operation Jumpstart. Th e company also went to Haiti last year to provide humanitarian assistance in support of the earthquake recovery eff orts.

The Progressive Legacy: Part IIIThomas SowellCreators Syndicate

Th e same presumptions of superior wisdom and virtue behind the interventionism of Progressive Presidents Th eodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson in the domestic economy also led them to be interventionists in other countries.

Th eodore Roosevelt was so determined that the United States should intervene against Spain’s suppression of an uprising in Cuba that he quit his post as Assistant Secretary of the Navy to organize his own private military force -- called “Rough Riders” -- to fi ght in what became the Spanish-American war.

Th e spark that set off this war was an explosion that destroyed an American battleship anchored in Havana harbor. Th ere was no proof that Spain had anything to do with it, and a study decades later suggested that the explosion originated inside the ship itself.

But Roosevelt and others were hot for intervention before the explosion, which simply gave them the excuse they needed to go to war against Spain, seizing Puerto Rico and the Philippines.

Although it was a Republican administration that did this, Democrat Woodrow Wilson justifi ed it. Progressive principles of imposing superior wisdom and virtue on others were invoked.

Wilson saw the indigenous peoples brought under

The High Priests of Eco-Destruction

OPINION

Michelle MalkinCreators Syndicate

Rick Santorum is right. Pushing back against Democrats’ attempts to frame him as a religious menace, the GOP presidential candidate forcefully turned the tables on the White House: “When it comes to the management of the Earth, they are the anti-science ones.”

Scrutiny of the White House anti-science brigade couldn’t come at a better time (which is why Santorum’s detractors prefer to froth at the mouth about comments he made four years ago on the existence of Satan). It’s not just big-ticket scandals like the stimulus-subsidized Solyndra bankruptcy or the Keystone pipeline debacle bedeviling America. In every corner of the Obama administration, the radical green machinery is hard at work -- destroying jobs, shredding truth and sacrifi cing our economic well-being at the altar of environmentalism.

--Take Obama’s head of the National Park Service, please. While serving as the Pacifi c West regional director of the NPS, Jon Jarvis was accused of at least 21 instances of scientifi c misconduct by Dr. Corey Goodman, a high-ranking member of the National Academy of Sciences. Extensive information about Jarvis’ alleged role in cooking data about a California oyster farm’s impact on harbor seals at Point Reyes was withheld during the 2009 nomination process. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has ignored complaints and follow-up from both Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Republican Sens. James Inhofe and David Vitter.

Th e National Research Council determined that the NPS had “selectively” slanted its report on the oyster farm. Th e federal Marine Mammal Commission found that “the data and analyses are not suffi cient to demonstrate a causal relationship” between the farm’s operations and harbor seal health. In a letter blasting the NPS for bullying the small oyster farm, Feinstein -- normally a reliable eco-ally -- concluded earlier this month that the “crux of the problem is that the Park Service manipulated science while building a case that the business should be shuttered.”

Given Salazar’s own role in manipulating science while building his case for the White House off shore drilling moratorium -- actions for which several federal judges spanked Salazar in the past two years -- it’s no wonder he’s looking the other way. Remember: Two years ago, Salazar and former Obama eco-czar Carol Browner falsely rewrote the White House drilling ban report to wholly manipulate the Obama-appointed panel’s own overwhelming scientifi c objections to the job-killing edict. Despite repeated judicial slaps for their “determined disregard” for the law, the Obama administration continues to suppress documents related to that junk science scandal. Last month, House Republicans threatened to subpoena the Interior Department for information. Call it a greenwash.

--Water wars and the Delta smelt. Th e

infamous, endangered three-inch fi sh and its environmental protectors continue to jeopardize the water supply of more than 25 million Californians. Federal restrictions have cut off some 81 billion gallons of water to farmers and consumers in Central and Southern California. Previous courts have ruled that the federal biological opinions used to justify the water cutoff were invalid and illegal. Last September, the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of California admonished two federal scientists for acting in “bad faith.” Th e judge’s blistering rebuke of the Obama administration scientists concluded that their slanted testimony about the delta smelt was “an attempt to mislead and to deceive the Court into accepting what is not only not the best science, it’s not science.”

GOP Rep. Devin Nunes, who represents the hard-hit San Joaquin Valley area, noted that Salazar recently “doubled down on the illegal policies of the Department of Interior and attacked critics as narrow minded and politically motivated. Ironically, these were the same basic criticisms levied against his department by the federal court.”

While Salazar manufactures a new biological opinion on the matter to get the courts off his back, unemployment and drought plague the Central Valley. And the White House stands by its “scientists.”

--Dams in distress. In Siskiyou County, Ore., local offi cials and residents announced last week that it intends to sue Salazar and Team Obama over their potential removal of dams on the Klamath River. Once again, the administration’s systematic disregard for sound science and the rule of law is in the spotlight.

Salazar is expected to make a decision by the end of March on environmentalists’ demands that four private hydroelectric dams be demolished to protect salmon habitats and “create” demolition and habitat restoration jobs. Opponents say Salazar has already predetermined the outcome. Green activists blithely ignore the massive taxpayer costs (an estimated half-billion dollars) and downplay the environmental destruction the dam removals would impose. GOP Rep. Tom McClintock put it most charitably: “To tear down four perfectly good hydroelectric dams at enormous cost is insane.”

People of faith aren’t what’s bedeviling America. Blame the high voodoo priests of eco-destruction in Washington who have imposed a green theocracy on us all. Science be damned.

If that sounds racist, it is perfectly consistent with President Wilson’s policies at home. Th e Wilson administration introduced racial segregation in Washington government agencies where it did not exist when Wilson took offi ce.

Woodrow Wilson also invited various dignitaries to the White House to watch a showing of the fi lm “Th e Birth of a Nation,” which glorifi ed the Ku Klux Klan -- and which Wilson praised.

All of this was consistent with the Progressive era in general, when supposedly “scientifi c” theories of racial superiority and inferiority were at their zenith. Th eodore Roosevelt was the exception, rather than the rule, among Progressives when he did not agree with these theories.

Consistent with President Wilson’s belief in racial superiority as a basis for intervening in other countries, he launched military interventions in various Latin American countries, before his intervention in the First World War.

Woodrow Wilson was also a precursor of later Progressives in assuming that the overthrow of an autocratic and despotic government means an advance toward democracy. In 1917, President Wilson spoke of “heartening things that have been happening within the last few weeks in Russia.”

What was “heartening” to Wilson was the overthrow of the czars. What it led to in fact was the rise of a totalitarian tyranny that killed more political prisoners in a year than the czars had killed in more than 90 years.

Although Wilson proclaimed that the First World War was being fought because “Th e world must be made safe

for democracy,” in reality the overthrow of autocratic rule in Germany and Italy also led to totalitarian regimes that were far worse. Th ose today who assume that the overthrow of authoritarian governments in Egypt and Libya is a movement toward democracy are following in Wilson’s footsteps.

Th e ultimate hubris of Woodrow Wilson was in promoting the carving up of whole empires after the First World War, in the name of “the self-determination of peoples.” But, in reality, it was not the peoples who did the carving but Wilson, French Premier Georges Clemenceau and British Prime Minister David Lloyd George. Walter Lippmann saw what a reckless undertaking this was. He said, “We are feeding on maps, talking of populations as if they were abstract lumps.” He was struck by the ignorance of those who were reshaping whole nations and the lives of millions of people.

He said of this nation-building eff ort: “When you consider what a mystery the East Side of New York is to the West Side, the business of arranging the world to the satisfaction of the people in it may be seen in something like its true proportions.”

But Progressives, especially intellectuals, are the least likely to suspect that they are in fact ignorant of the things they are intervening in, whether back in the Progressive era or today.

WAKE UP, AMERICA

Localism is trending today in the realms of food and fi nance. Th e institution of the local community newspaper is also popular, but it wasn't blogged into being - it was born long before videos started going viral. Major-metropolitan newspapers may be a slowly dying breed, but community newspapers prove that American journalism is alive, well and living in the rural areas, small towns and suburbs of our land.

Th e word "newspaper" may conjure mental images of a big pressroom, delivery trucks and eight-column banner headlines, but 97% of U.S. papers have a paid circulation of less than 50,000. Th eir combined circulations, though, exceed 109 million - more than 3 times the aggregate total of the big daily newspapers.

Th ese are the community newspapers. Th ey are staff ed by professional journalists, but their news coverage is locally-oriented. High-school sports and academics, zoning issues, petty crime, neighborhood events, clubs, services, organizations, festivities and milestones - this is the stuff that the local news beat is made of. It is the sort of focus that big-city papers have increasingly lacked both the time and the inclination to provide.

Th is single-minded dedication to meeting the needs of their audience has set the community papers apart from their big-city brethren. Major-metropolitan newspaper circulations began declining when they lost touch with readers and advertisers, long before the advent of the Internet. Today, the concentration on consumer demand distinguishes the community newspaper product from that of advocacy journalists and hyper-localists. Th e faddists are motivated by ideological or topical considerations extrinsic to their relationship with their customers. Th e bond between the community papers and their readers is organic.

University of North Carolina journalism instructor and textbook author Jock Lauterer summed up this relationship neatly: "Community journalism... is the heartbeat of American journalism, journalism in its natural state." Th at heart beats today as robustly as it did in 1953 when the little Tabor City (NC) Tribune won a Pulitzer Prize for its expose of local Ku Klux Klan activities. It was the fi rst Pulitzer award ever made to a weekly newspaper.

Th e category "community newspapers" includes small daily newspapers, whose skeletal structure mimics that of the major-metro papers but which cover little or no metropolitan,

Th ey camped in a scrag of low oaks, a site frequented by those who traveled to trade with the Arbuthnot trading post on the Suwannee. It was the early spring of 1817, the French-Indian, Dubois, and his Seminole wife Joie had followed the river’s easterly path down to the post on a high, clay bank along the lower Suwannee. Dubois led a shaggy pack horse heavily laden with bundles of hides. Behind them, Joie walked in tandem with Hokté, a constantly chattering and quarrelsome older woman found on their winter’s hunt widowed, abandoned and wandering in the wild out from the Miccosukee.

Th ere had been disquieting talk along the trail the day before. Arbuthnot the elder, the Scots trader up from the post operated by his son, John, had cautioned of strange sightings along the Suwannee path. Th e lilt in old Arbuthnot’s rasping voice was evident as he spoke of a lone and rootless Choctaw, a conjurer known as Owl Mocker. Th ough Dubose fended off his dread of the fabled shape-shifter (said by night to take the form of an owl or by day that of a raven, bear or snapping turtle), Hokté had been certain the man-creature approached their camp during the previous night.

Now, on the slight ridge where they camped above the post, John Arbuthnot had joined them to make a meal of fi sh he’d obtained in trade with natives of the Seminole village up river known as Bowleg’s Town. Th e women had splayed the bass on skewers made of greenwood over oak coals. Th e meal had been taken leisurely as they reclined by the fi re on pallets of deer hides Dubose would off er in trade in the morning.

Dubose built the fi re up again. After a long silence, Arbuthnot spoke admiringly of the deerskins. “We’ll make a good trade tomorrow, me friend. You’ll have a fi ne line of chalks here, I wager.”

“Many chalks,” Dubose agreed, referencing the manner in which the hides were graded, weighed and totaled by chalk hash marks on the store’s counter. Th en Dubose reached over the pack saddle behind him and produced a fat bundle. “Also this, John Arbuthnot.” Dubose unfurled the wad, opening over his leather leggings a large dark fur, so thick and lush with a silken sheen that it virtually shimmered in the fi relight.

“Oh my!” John Arbuthnot exclaimed, leaning in. “She’s a royal beauty, that one. It’s otter, am I right?”

“Otter,” Dubose affi rmed. “Many a fi ne cape or collar, belts and sashes, too, that fi ne fur will be on some proper lady’s

gown.”Dubose’s thoughts weighed more toward guns and ammunition, steel kettles, knives and

hatchets, cashes of beads and buttons, fabrics and clothing ready-made, jewelry and tobacco and maybe rum. But too many now traded more heavily for rum. He’d even seen them trade their “wearing shirt” for a single gulp when down to their last. Unscrupulous traders sometimes prompted these wayward trades, but the Arbuthnot’s did not.

Nearby, from a low limb up a spreading oak beyond the campfi re light, English riding boots swung beneath the knotty knees of the conjurer. A mean grin had formed over his grotesque face. Th e heel print of the moon in the deep purple sky above vested an eerie light in his eyes.

When John Arbuthnot retired to the sparse living quarters in the back of his store, he barred the door and extinguished his lamp. As the campfi re in the oaks fell to somber coals, Dubose and Joie lay wrapped in their blankets on the pallet of hides they shared. Hokté stirred uneasily on hers, but exhausted from the day’s trek, fell deeply into sleep. Dubose slept with the odor of the rich, leafy soil beneath him entering his nostrils and the scent of wood smoke over their blankets. Th e horse hobbled nearby snorted and grunted, then lifted his head abruptly at the haunting sound of a horned owl deep within the wet forest along the river.

Th e lustrous, valuable otter skin had been folded back upon itself and stored with the cleaned hide exposed protecting the fur. Dubose had bound it back tightly with buckskin ties and returned it to the packsaddle beside him. It was there in shadowy form in the moonlit mist about the camp. Th en it was gone. Th e horse snatched at his hobble and shied in fright with a great exhale of breath.

Rolling to his knees, Dubose instinctively snatched up his rifl e, alert and ready to fi re. Th e women sat up at once, then dropped quickly to peer about anxiously from their elbows. Th e foggy night was now still all about them. Nothing scurried into the dark palmettos or fl urried in the trees where moonlight in the fog settled from the warm river over silvery boughs. Th e morning star hung above the canopy of trees as the fi rst light of day formed in a rosy sliver along the eastern rim of the great forest.

It was not until their fi re had been rekindled and Dubose was making ready his bundles of hides to trade that he realized the otter skin was out of place. No, missing. Stolen?

“What is it?” his wife asked him?“Th e otter.”She came over to where he impatiently looked about. “No,” he said. “It is not here!” Hokté began to cackle and scold. She had warned of this, she said. Th e baneful Owl Mocker

was certainly to blame. Th ere were no tracks, no telling sign whatsoever by which Dubose could refute her superstitious claims.

Later that morning, Dubose appeared at Arbuthnot’s store to make his trade where John already stood behind the long counter. Made of ship’s planking, it had been oiled, darkened and worn smooth by the tug of hides. A large brass scale was on prominent display. While the women waited outside, the men made friendly acknowledgment of one another and set immediately to the business at hand. Dubose carried in 68 hides in all and they were fi nely dressed, which brought more. Th is was almost twenty hides more than an annual average of the best native hunters at the time.

Th e fi rst of the winter-kills Dubose had sacrifi ced in the woods, as he’d been taught by the men of his mother’s clan. Th e best parts of the venison, the fat pieces and milt, had been fed to the fi re in thanksgiving and for divine care and continued success in the hunt. Th e smoke of the fi re had carried his gifts aloft into the mysterious world where animal spirits communed with his ancestors.

Arbuthnot weighed all of the skins, and each was at least two pounds and pronounced to be of excellent dressed quality. Th e women had scraped and cleaned all fl esh from them, stretched and set them on bentwood frames to dry in the sun. Th e hair had been scraped, too, and the hide saturated with a solution of deer brains and water before being dried again over the smoke of a fi re pit. Pigment made from berries or hickory nuts colored the leather which was then pounded until soft and supple. Th ese were fully dressed skins. Half-dressed with the hair on them brought less. Raw or green skins, merely dried, even less. Arbuthnot was assigning at least two and generally three chalks to each hide. Said and done, Dubose tallied 180 chalks, an outstanding hunt to be sure.

Th en the bartering began, for value must be assigned to the tally of chalks. As a rule of thumb, that value in sterling equaled one half of what the hide would bring in Europe. A metal pot, pouch of tobacco or enough calico to make a skirt might be gotten for three chalks. It was the Arbuthnot’s reputation for fairness and advocacy for native hunters that brought Dubose south rather than trade with those licensed in the upper towns by the Spanish Crown to monopolize trade in Florida. Now the women had entered to quietly gesture their guidance in his selection of trade items.

Dubose made his fi rst picks according to custom and chose gun powder and lead as priorities to provision his next hunt. Th ere followed practical items, especially hatchets and axes from Scandinavia, skinning knives and shears from Germany. Th e women pointed out fabrics from woolen mills in Great Britain or manufacturers in France. Vermillion from China by way of Britain and the Bahamas was valued for dying fabrics or mixing with bear fat for war paint. Ribbons and scarves and Venetian glass beads all accumulated over the broad counter as John Arbuthnot subtracted the tally of chalks. Th en he looked up suddenly and inquired about the magnifi cent otter skin Dubose had shown him the night before.

Dubose maintained a fl inty countenance and fi nally said simply, “Owl Mocker.” “Oh my, no,” Arbuthnot moaned. “Not you, too. Is this Owl Mocker to be blamed for all

mischief or bleating loss in these parts?”

Hokté pressed forward and wagged her boney fi nger at Arbuthnot. “Owl Mocker,” she squawked irritably, her eyes wide and piercing. “Owl Mocker!”

Arbuthnot yielded with a heavy shrug and began to parcel the trade goods, tossing in a lengthy swatch of oiled cloth to make a bundle of the fabrics.

Dubose had his horse packed with all he had acquired, pleased with his trade. Th e women, too, were happy with their fi nds, although Hokté had insisted under her breath that each trade item was worth less, or the skin more in each transaction. Dubose then bid a fond farewell to Arbuthnot as the larger man leaned against the hewed door brace smoking his clay pipe.

Some miles upriver later in the day, Dubose saw the Seminole hunter Menawa coming down the Suwannee path with his hides for trade. Hokté was still ranting that he had been gullible with Arbuthnot, all too naïve in his negotiations. Dubose hushed her. Menawa moved forward again, but guardedly. His wife and two daughters were with him and Dubose sensed that all were watchful and alert about the approach of his party. It was not until he recognized Dubose positively that Menawa raised his hand in greeting.

He was a warrior well-known for his fi erceness in battle. “You have made your trade, Dubose?” Menawa asked.

“Yes. A good trade.”“Is good,” Menawa said. “Watch closely on the path, Dubose.” He paused, as if his mind must

clear. “In the morning,” he said slowly, “we saw a great bear. Larger than any I have ever seen. Now my women are made captive by this fear, but I also could not believe my eyes. Th is bear sprang from the path into the mist over the cypress slough. I saw him myself, but only his rump high from the ground as a man is tall.”

“You are sure, a bear?” “I trust my eyes.” Hokté began to murmur behind him, but Dubose quieted her again. He thought not to

speak of Owl Mocker, embarrassed more by the theft of his valuable otter skin than his recent conviction that the conjurer actually made dark magic.

Menawa looked at Dubose curiously, aware he was holding back. Th e warrior looked to the women then, who cast their eyes back to Dubose. So Menawa spoke. “Owl Mocker?” he asked fi rmly.

“Owl Mocker,” Dubose acknowledged with a solemn nod. Menawa threw back his great head and laughed so loudly his deep laughter resounded in echo

from the river. “I know these tales women tell at the fi reside,” Menawa announced boldly. I saw a bear. Th e largest bear ever seen in these woods – not that runt of a thieving Choctaw!”

Dubose stood erect, though without challenge or care to caution further. Menawa led his packhorse past with a grunt like that of a big buck. As his wife and daughters passed, they searched the eyes of Joie and Hokté for reassurance, or was it understanding? Dubose led on up toward the sulfur spring. Menawa was laughing again far back down the trail.

Deep in the slough that lay away from the river’s rocky rim, the conjurer sat on an enormous rotting cypress log. He wiped his furrowed brow with the back of his grimy hand. Th e grotesque features of his face adjusted to suck from another of the turtle eggs amassed before him. He was still dressed in his breach clout and high English boots, except now he wore a fi ne cloak of magnifi cent otter skin, thicker and more resplendent than the coat of any bear. He groaned and belched before he sucked another egg, then shook his long, greasy mane in puzzlement at the emptiness of its brittle shell. Th e sound of Menawa’s bold laughter rang out again through the cypresses, and Owl Mocker jerked about with a startlingly suspicious glint. Rancid as the slough’s water, his eyes darted rapidly as raven’s fl ight back toward the Suwannee path.

Levy County

As spring arrives, so do State Assessments for Levy County students. Soon our students will be taking the FCAT Writes Exam, the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT 2.0), the Comprehensive English Language Learning Assessment (CELLA), and the End-of-Course (EOC) Exams for Geometry, Biology and Algebra I. I would like to take this opportunity to remind parents of a few important “parent involvement” guidelines and tips.

First, parents can obtain fact sheets, information, sample tests, and resources by going to http://fcat.fl doe.org and by visiting the http://www.fl doe.org/aala website. It is just as important for parents to be informed as it is for our students. I would like to encourage all parents and guardians to visit these websites for information regarding FCAT and other state assessments.

Parents can help increase student success in school by promoting daily attendance, encouraging their children to do well in school, making sure their children have a well-rounded diet, keeping up with their children’s progress, and making sure that their children are well-rested on school days and especially on testing days. Parents are also encouraged to meet with their child’s teachers throughout the school year.

Th is year, testing began on February 28, 2012, with FCAT Writing administered in Grades 4, 8, and 10 with make-up days scheduled for February 29 and March 1. Th is test requires students to write an essay in response to a prompt.

English Language Learners (ESOL students) will be taking the Comprehensive English Language Learning Assessment (CELLA) starting on March 5, 2012. Th e CELLA assesses students’ skills in Listening/Speaking,

Reading and Writing. FCAT Retake Exams in Reading and Mathematics will

begin on April 9, 2012 for juniors and seniors. Students in Grades 3-10 will be taking FCAT Reading,

Mathematics, and Science during the April 16-April 27 testing window.

You will need to check with your school’s Testing Coordinator or your child’s teacher to get a specifi c calendar of what is tested each day beginning on April 16, since students in grades 3-10 must take diff erent parts of the test on diff erent days.

My name is Kyle Quincey and I am campaigning for the district 2 seat on the Levy County School Board. I believe that I have the unique blend of education, experience, and investment that make me a highly qualifi ed candidate to serve on our school board. I am a lifelong resident of Levy County, and a 1989 graduate of Chiefl and High School. After high school, I earned an Associates of Arts degree from Santa Fe Community College and transferred to Florida State University where I earned a Bachelors and Masters Degree in exceptional student education. When I completed my education, I accepted a job teaching ESE at Bronson Middle/High School. During my eight and a half years as a teacher, I was able to be involved in many aspects of the school ranging from administrative duties to athletics. I was fortunate to work under several administrators who trusted me to serve as a substitute administrator in the event of their absence. While at BHS, I continued my education by taking multiple classes towards a certifi cation in educational leadership. During my time at BHS, I also served as middle school baseball coach. Th ese opportunities at BHS give me a very in-depth view of what it takes for a school to function properly from the administration to the classroom to the athletic programs.

After eight and a half years of working with some very talented and wonderful people at BHS, I was given the opportunity to follow in my father Jack Quincey’s footsteps. I am currently an insurance agent at Nature Coast Insurance in Williston. I have also been

blessed to serve as trustee at Central Florida Electric Cooperative for the past 7 years where I currently serve as Vice President. Th e experience gained by serving on this board is incredible. As a trustee, it is my responsibility to approve a multi-million dollar budget and make planning decisions that will guarantee that CFEC will continue to provide reliable service to all its customers. I also have to work in conjunction with CFEC staff and eight other board members to insure our service and fi nancial goals are met.

I have been married to my wonderful wife, Valerie, for the past 15 years, and God has blessed us with two wonderful children. Grant is nine years old and a 3rd grader at Chiefl and Elementary School. Grace is seven and in 1st grade at CES. Our family is a member of Pine Grove Baptist Church where I serve as adult Sunday School teacher. Grant and Grace are very active in the Chiefl and Area Athletic Association where Valerie and I have had the opportunity to coach them. My greatest investment is my family and specifi cally Grant and Grace. Th rough my 8 ½ years of experience in education, I understand what it takes for a school system to function effi ciently and eff ectively. I want to use my knowledge and experience to insure that your greatest investment is protected. My family and I are very excited about the future, and we look forward to meeting you and your family during this campaign season.

Th ank you in advance for your support.

To all my Levy County friends and family:

I am announcing my candidacy to remain your Levy County Judge, a position I have had the honor to hold over the past two years. In 1989, I began my service to the citizens of Levy County as an Assistant State Attorney in Bronson. For the past twenty three years, I have continuously served the citizens of Levy County and all the citizens of the Eighth Judicial Circuit. I’ve served as Division Chief for the State Attorney’s Offi ce of Levy County and Gilchrist County. I was promoted to Division Chief of Crimes Against Women and Families, where I supervised attorneys in a unit handling specialized prosecutions. Ultimately, I was promoted to Chief of Special Prosecutions, a specialized unit

assigned only the most serious of cases in our Judicial Circuit such as Murder, Kidnapping and Sexual Battery. I have personally handled and supervised thousands of serious felony cases. I have extensive experience in serious and complex jury trials. In the 18 months prior to becoming your Judge, I participated in four 1st degree murder jury trials and a serious sexual battery jury trial. All of the trials resulted in convictions of the defendants who committed murder and sexual battery. Who I am as your Judge was forged in the courtrooms of our circuit, handling serious and complex cases. I have spent my life seeking justice for the

victims of crime and closure for the families of those victims. It was my calling. As Levy County Judge, I know God has given me a broader calling to serve the people of

Levy County. I am the ONLY judicial candidate in this election with judicial experience. I have been

your County Judge over the past two years. I have presided over hundreds of cases including both criminal and civil cases. As the presiding Judge, I have extensive experience in all aspects of case work such as fi rst appearances, arraignments, motion work, hearings and Trial. I have been the Trial Judge on county cases ranging from D.U.I. to Battery.

I am also an acting Circuit Judge throughout the Circuit. I have been the presiding Trial Judge on circuit cases ranging from Robbery to Attempted Murder with a Firearm. I am the presiding Judge in Juvenile Delinquency Court, Dependency Court matters and Shelter Hearings for children. I routinely handle domestic violence injunctions, domestic violence hearings and review both search warrants and arrest warrants for law enforcement.

I am the ONLY judicial candidate in this election with judicial training, having completed Judicial College, Advanced Judicial Studies and D.U.I Adjudication Lab Conference.

I have been an Adjunct Professor at the University of Florida, Fredric G. Levin College of Law teaching law students the practical aspects of trial practice. I have been a Faculty Instructor of both Prosecutors and Defense Attorneys at the Prosecutor and Public Defender Conference and I have lectured at the State Attorney’s Offi ce and for Law Enforcement on topics such as jury selection, domestic violence and sexual battery investigation.

I have been married to my wife Georgia for over 26 years and we live in Morriston, Florida. My wife is an elementary school teacher for the past 25 years and has recently accepted a teaching position at Joyce Bullock Elementary in Williston.

I have spent my career serving both citizens of Levy County and all the citizens of the Eighth Judicial Circuit. I am proven as your Judge. I am proven in my commitment to Levy County. I ask humbly for your support. My promise to you is that I will continue to work hard for justice to all the people of Levy County. Th ank you and may God Bless You.

state, national or world news. Th e term is also broad enough to encompass weekly papers that specialize even more narrowly and are often distributed free in street racks, stores, malls or shopping centers. Among the popular weekly forms are shoppers - which publish copious retail advertising by groceries and auto dealerships - and alternatives, which feature anti-establishment editorial and lifestyle content.

A good example of this mix is Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc. (CNHI), which used private capital to grow via acquisitions beginning in 1997. Today, it boasts some 90 small daily newspapers and over 200 smaller weeklies in 22 states.

Corporate ownership has arisen to challenge sole proprietorships and partnerships for dominance in the industry.

Still, neither corporate ownership nor large size inoculates community newspapers against adversity. American Community Newspapers, Inc. reached well over 1 million households in Texas, Minnesota and Virginia when it was forced into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2010. It emerged from reorganization in the hands of its creditors.

From Mankato, MN to Plano, TX; from Vienna, VA to Harrisonville, MO to Walnut Creek, CA, community newspapers stand as testament to the continuing vitality of print journalism. Reports of the death of newspapers may be premature; they are surely exaggerated.

It’s Rodeo time again at the Williston Horseman’s Arena this week. Come out for the 17th Annual Johnny Hodge Memorial High School Rodeo this Saturday, March 3, at 7 p.m. at the Williston Horseman's Association arena.

High school contestants from all over our great state of Florida will be on hand this weekend participating in boys events such roping, steer wrestling, bareback and saddle bronc riding, and of course the exciting bull riding too! Don’t forget to watch those pretty cowgirls and their fl ash horses in the barrel racing, pole bending, goat tying and roping events as well.

While it's important to have the desire, drive and determination to be a contender in one's chosen event in high school rodeo, these student athletes must also maintain a high grade-point average to be eligible for competition. Just like any other sport, many of these athletes will go on to compete on college rodeo teams ... some will even be recipients of college scholarships! Although Troy, Alabama has the closest college rodeo team, many Florida High School Rodeo alumni have received scholarships from colleges in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee and even Texas! Florida High School Rodeo has also proved to be a stepping stone for several athletes, both men and women, who have been successful in the professional ranks and even qualifi ed for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Two alumni that excelled to this level are Willistonians Ivan Nelson and Jared Smith.

Some of Williston's local high school contestants will also be on hand participating, and are even ranked among the top 20 in the State. Watch for local celebrities Lizzy Dunn in the breakaway roping and barrel racing, Stevie Norton in the tie down and team roping, Colt Adams in the team roping, and Kaley Wilder in the barrel racing and pole bending, as they apply their skills for a shot at the belt buckle being awarded this weekend to the event winners. For more information about joining the Florida High School Rodeo Association please visit www.fhsra.homestead.com.

Additionally, there will be family entertainment that will surely provide lots of laughs. Come cheer on your favorite jockey in the always hysterical donkey race and kids will join in the action in the boot scramble.

Th e Florida High School Rodeo promises the best of all aspects of rodeo. For the audience we provide the home-town, family-oriented atmosphere and entertainment, as well as easy parking, easy access to seating, and no long lines or stadium steps. Th e gates open at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday night in plenty of time to enjoy great barbeque and concessions before the rodeo action begins at 7:00 p.m. sharp!

Tickets are $10 at the gate, and $8 in advance, while kids 5 and under are free, or advance-purchase the Family Four Pack for only $25 (2 adults, 2 kids -12 and under). Advance-tickets are available at Kloverleaf Tack in Williston, Chiefl and Farm Supply, Russell’s Western Wear in Ocala, and both RCC’s Western World in Gainesville and Ocala. Th e Williston Horseman’s Arena is located 1 ½ miles south of Williston off U.S. HWY 41 on Well Built Road . . . just

Bronson and ArcherTh e Levy County Health Department and Alachua

County Health Department have issued a rabies alert for the Forest Park and University Oaks area in Levy County and near the Alachua County border in Archer. Th is is in response to a domestic dog that tested positive for rabies on February 23, 2012. Any citizens in this area that have had contact with a light brown American Bulldog or any stray domestic or wild animal are urged to contact the Health Department.

All citizens in Levy County and Alachua County should be aware that rabies is present in the wild animal population and domestic animals are at risk if not vaccinated. Th e public is asked to maintain a heightened awareness that rabies is active between Bronson and Archer areas north of SR 24 in Levy and Alachua County. Alerts are designed to increase awareness to the public, but they should not give a false sense of security to areas that have not been named as under an alert.

Th e rabies alert is for 60 days. Th e center of the rabies alert is in the University Oaks area and includes the following area boundaries in Levy and Alachua County:

• North of SR 24• East of SR 337 (NE 80th Ave)• South of SW 119th Avenue (Alachua County)• West of NE 130th AvenueAn animal with rabies could infect other wild animals

or domestic animals that have not been vaccinated against rabies. All domestic animals should be vaccinated against rabies and all wildlife contact should be avoided, particularly raccoons, bats, foxes, skunks, otters, bobcats and coyotes. Rabies is a disease of the nervous system and is fatal to warm blooded animals and humans. Th e only treatment for human exposure to rabies is rabies specifi c immune globulin and rabies immunization. Appropriate treatment started soon after the exposure, will protect an exposed person from the disease.

Th e following advice is issued:• All pets should have current rabies immunizations.• Secure outside garbage in covered containers to avoid

attracting wild animals.• Do not leave pet food outside. Th is also attracts other

animals.• For questions regarding the health of an animal, contact

a veterinarian.• Veterinarian staff and animal control staff should be

alert for animals encountered with signs suspicious for rabies and use appropriate precautions, especially when working with unvaccinated animals.

• Persons who have been bitten or scratched by wild or domestic animals should seek medical attention and report the injury to the local County Health Department.

• Rabies is preventable when treatment is provided in a timely manner.

CHIEFLANDGive Blood, Save Lives at the Chiefl and Community Drive Mar. 2-3

What diff erence can a single donation make? One fi gure frequently cited is that one pint of blood can save up to three lives, since it can provide three lifesaving products: red blood cells, plasma and platelets. But that only scratches the surface of the impact. Th ose three people may have children, brothers, sisters or parents. Th ere may be friends, classmates or co-workers, who will all be aff ected because a life was saved because one person made the decision to donate blood. A one-hour investment of time can have a far-reaching infl uence. Be a life saver and a life changer, donate blood today.

LifeSouth and the Chiefl and community invite you to be a part of saving lives when they team up to host a blood drive on Fri., Mar. 2 and Sat., Mar. 3. Look for the bloodmobile in the Wal-Mart parking lot on North Hwy 19 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day. Donors may also give at LifeSouth’s Chiefl and donor center across the street from Wal-Mart in the Winn-Dixie shopping center between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday.

All who donate will receive a LifeSouth cooler and a complimentary cholesterol screening. Donors must be at least 16 years old, weigh 110 pounds or more, and have photo I.D. Sixteen-year-old donors must have signed parental consent. For more information about becoming a donor or about blood drives in your area, call LifeSouth toll-free at (888) 795-2707 or visit www.lifesouth.org.

I was only slightly taller, and not much bigger around, than the 12 gauge shotgun I was lugging into the woods that opening morning. Yet, the feel of that big chunk of steel in my hands made me feel ten foot tall. I’d dreamed of this day for weeks, and my big buck bagging aspirations had grown as lofty as the towering white oaks my dad was leading us to. Of course, I’d be following in some mighty big footsteps, him being a local hunting legend and all.

Just upwind from the three-wheeler we arrived at a place called the bottleneck. Dad motioned for me to sit by a little persimmon tree, so I leaned back against its rough bark and slid down to burrow my bony bottom into the dewy leaves at its base. “When those dogs get to running,” dad coached, “You keep your eyes peeled. Th at double-ought buckshot art to put one down.”

I nodded like a rat terrier lapping up a thermos of truck stop coff ee. Dad, sensing my over-excitement, wisely decided to run another gun safety lecture by me before heading off . He also secured a promise that I wouldn’t shoot at any more squirrels. I scoff ed, “Th at was last year daddy. I’m growed up now.”

For the next twenty minutes my senses were alive to every detail of the forest. I could almost smell the ridicule emanating from those cocky little squirrels who mocked me from the treetops. I was ‘One’ with the woods. If I could only kill a deer, surely it would secure my rite of passage to manhood. Dad would be so proud. Th erefore, it kind of shocked me later when I found myself suddenly snapping awake. Wiping away the puddle of slobber collecting on my lapel, I quickly looked around to make sure dad hadn’t caught me nodding. Th at’s when I noticed it. A good sized deer was standing out in front of me, not thirty paces off .

My heart began drumming the inside of my ribs, and that gun seemed to levitate to my shoulder. My fi nger felt about frantically for that little safety do-hicky daddy always made me use. I was just about to fi re off a shot when I suddenly remembered, “I’m supposed to look for horns.”

“Dog,” I huff ed after a quick scan, “A dumb doe!” Th e deer must’ve heard me, for he twitched his big ole’ ears

and revealed that he did indeed possess a little rack of horns! Faster’n that revelation could fully reach my understanding the gun was leaping in my hands. Th en, to my surprise, the deer was also leaping; off into the foliage! My jaw slung open. I swallowed hard to fi ght down a tear. I’d missed from thirty paces.

In no time, dad appeared. Cautiously he instructed me to reapply the safety and he began his questioning. “How far was he? Which way did he go? Yada yada yada…” He wanted to line the whole place off like a police scene; like that was going to help! I didn’t feel like harping on the past, so I sulked back to the three-wheeler and began revving the

engine until he fi nally got the message.

Th e next day we drove out to the deer camp for lunch. A group of fellows was congregated out front, admiring a nice buck hanging from the skinning rack. Everybody was slapping a young fellow on the back, congratulating him and so forth. When they saw us, the ring leader spoke up. “Emory, wasn’t you and your boy hunting the bottleneck

yesterdy?” A hush came on the crowd as he continued. “We found a little hat-rack six point lying dead not forty yards from where I saw your boy sleeping. We was gonna drag em’ in, but the meat done spoilt in this heat and all.”

“Boy,” dad shouted, slapping me with his orange cap, “You told me you missed that buck!” Th en to save face, he went on to recount how I’d fi red up the three-wheeler and disrupted his tracking plans. Everybody shook their heads somberly. (Th ey take deer hunting mighty serious in Mississippi.)

Needless to say, that little six-pointer wasn’t the only one who ran off with his heart shot out that weekend. I just felt sick. I moped for a month. My rite of passage would have to wait for another day. In fact, I’m not sure I ever did make that macho trip to manhood. If I did, I’m not sure when. After all, what constitutes being a real man? How do you know when you got what it takes? When have you killed enough deer?

But anyway- Th e more I’ve grow in my relationship with Jesus the more I’ve started to realize, manhood is not something we attain to, it’s something we are called to. Th ere’s a diff erence. One looks to outward deeds, the other develops the inward seeds; the ones God planted. Th e truth is my manhood should not be based on this world’s warped standards. God has already called me a man. Th erefore I am. Th e more I understand my identity in Him the more I am set free to realize- “Th e true measure of a man is the measure in which he allows Christ to live through him.”

I used to wonder if I should’ve gone ahead and shot one of those dumb squirrels. Maybe I would’ve gotten a little acceptance. What I didn’t know at the time was, I was already accepted! (To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. Ephesians 1:6 KJV) Guy Sheffi eld

NOTICE: Cedar Key is Still Recycling

Th e recycling program in Cedar Key has not changed. Waste is still collecting recyclables in a separate truck from the solid waste and the recyclable materials are being hauled to the closest "single-stream" recycling processing facility in the State located in Interlachen, Fla. Waste Pro is making this eff ort to ensure our recycled materials are not being disposed of with the rest of the solid waste in Bronson.

Please reassure your friends, neighbors, constituents, etc... that nothing has changed for those who are a part of the City of Cedar Key’s solid waste and recycling program. All of their recycling eff orts are still helping lower the cost to the City and helping keep costs low for themselves by reducing the tonnage of solid waste removed from Cedar Key.

Cedar Key recycling materials are being recycled as per the terms of our contract with Waste Pro despite the diffi culties with our Levy County landfi ll program. Please continue supporting our very successful Cedar Key recycling eff orts in your home and at your business. Th ank You!
