Drivers survive major accident with minor scrapesBY MARK J. CRAWFORD

Telegraph Editor

Vehicles were totaled, but, remarkably, there were no severe injuries a rear-end accident on Tuesday morning.

According to Bradford County Sheriff’s Office deputy Sean Hullender, who responded to the scene, an Infiniti must have been traveling at least 60 mph on State Road 16 when the driver failed to observe the Ford pickup truck in front him slow to make a turn into the Florida State Prison Training Complex.

The Infiniti plowed into the back of the truck, traveling beneath it before winding up tin the ditch, Hullender said.

Drivers Joshua Hodges, 26, and Timoth Zeoli, 21, suffered some minor scrapes but no major injuries. Both told Hullender they were wearing their seat belts.

Van Zant settles property tax dispute

BY DAN HILDEBRANMonitor Editor

State Rep. Charles Van Zant Sr. paid more than $8,000 in property taxes and interest last week after Bradford County Property Tax Appraiser Jimmy Alvarez determined the lawmaker claimed homestead exemptions for eight years on a house for which he was not entitled to the exemptions.

In an internal memo, which Alvarez released as part of a public records request, the appraiser wrote that on June 12, his office received an anonymous email through its website asserting that Van Zant had not lived in the home on Southeast 35th Street for years.

After a review, Alvarez wrote that his office informed Van Zant that it was removing the homestead exemption for the property for 2016. Then after meeting with Van Zant and his attorney three times in July, Alvarez said he would also strip the exemption from the property for the years 2008 through 2015.

On July 25, the representative paid

the Bradford County Tax Collector $8,716.28 to settle the back taxes, plus 15-percent interest.

The anonymous email, which Alvarez included as part of the public records release, reads in part, “House has not been lived in for several years. The individual is a state representative. Is he above the law?????? Hypocrite.”

Under Florida law, Alvarez could have also assessed a 50-percent penalty. He said his normal practice is to use the penalty as an incentive to get taxpayers to settle sooner, rather than later.

“If the amount due is still not paid 30 days after we notify them of the taxes and interest, and we have to place a lien on the property,” he said in a telephone interview, “then we add on the 50-percent penalty.”

“A lien could take years to collect,” he added.

Van Zant is prevented from running for the District 19 seat for a fifth time due to term limits. However, his wife Katherine is running for the seat.

Wrong turn wreaks havoc downtown

BY MARK J. CRAWFORDTelegraph Editor

Explosive sounds shook downtown Starke last Thursday as utility customers experienced a temporary or complete loss of power. People emerged from buildings with querying looks to seek answers, knowing only that something had gone really wrong.

Something went the wrong way, actually. A loaded vehicle transport traveling south on Walnut Street from the intersection with Call snagged a powerline, causing damage to city and civilian property, killing power to multiple businesses and closing the street for several hours.

The snag split and felled multiple utility poles. Transformers plummeted to the ground. Poles smashed into signs and buildings, including Revels and Showcase Advertising, and two vehicles were also hit. Lines were pulled down on the west side of 301 as well, cutting electricity at Arby’s and Hardees.

While many were alarmed, no one was injured.

The accident happened between 2 and 2:30 p.m. July 28. In addition to the city of Starke’s line crew, employees from public works, the sewer and meter departments, the police and fire departments, and Bradford County emergency management were all

involved in the response, City Manager Tom Ernharth said.

“Basically, when that kind of accident occurs all departments come running to help out anyway they can. We were able to accomplish this without any assistance from other areas,” he said.

The city worked until 1 a.m. repairing the damage.

The estimated property damage to the city was in the arena for $25,000, while damage to CenturyLink poles

amounted to $15,000. One business sign alone sustained $13,000 in damage, according to the police report.

T&C Trucking Service owned the truck driven by 50-year-old Adam Howell Leach of Fleming Island, who, according to Starke Police Maj. Barry Warren, should have turned from State Road 230 at Water Street in order to access State Road 100. Leach was cited for failure to obey a traffic control device (truck route sign).

Starke commissioners gave employees their appreciation for the fast and efficient response to the accident. Showcase Advertising erected a sign to say thank you, and employees for the city thanked Showcase, Walgreens, emergency management and the fire department for keeping them cool and hydrated.

The Sweetest Strawberries this side of Heaven

FDOT to begin Starke truck route construction next weekFDOT to host open house to discuss proj-ect that will relieve U.S. 301 congestion

Work is set to begin next week on a 7.3-mile long, four-lane truck route designed to relieve some of the congestion on U.S. 301 in Starke.

The Florida Department of Transportation will also host an open house for area residents who have questions about the upcoming construction project, which will take approximately three years to complete.

The approximately $90 million project will be constructed between County Road 227 and County Road 233 on the west side of Starke. The new roadway will consist of two travel lanes in each direction, and overpasses will be constructed over County Road 100A, the CSX Railroad and County Road 229. Interchanges will be constructed along the new roadway to provide access to State Road 100 and State Road 16.

The new roadway will provide an

alternate route for freight-carrying trucks, and will help alleviate some of the traffic congestion on U.S. 301 through downtown Starke.

In addition to relieving congestion on the busy U.S. 301 corridor, it is expected to provide additional capacity for future traffic growth. The new route is projected to carry more than 25,000 vehicles per day by 2020, and increase to more than 31,000 per day by 2040.

Construction on the new truck route should not affect travel in and around Starke.

Anderson Columbia Co. Inc. of Lake City has been hired by FDOT to complete the work.

To provide additional information, FDOT will host an open house at the Bradford County Public Library from 4 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 10, and answer any questions area residents may have about the upcoming project. Flyers and information sheets will be available.

More information about the project can be found by visiting www.us301northflorida.com. See VAN ZANT, 6A

get caught up in the emotions of winning and losing, forgetting to just admire what their teams have accomplished. The Bradford 10U and 12U teams have been forging their way ahead to obtain the ultimate goal of attending the Babe Ruth Softball World Series this summer in Jensen Beach, Florida.

Both teams competed in the

“Diamond Duel,” a World Series qualifier tournament hosted by RCSA/Oakleaf Organizations in May, going undefeated in tournament play to earn their berth to the World Series. As the teams continued in post season tournament play they each went undefeated in district play, bringing home the District 3 title. The teams then continued on to the state tournament with 10U

placing third and 12U placing runner-up.

Teams will depart on Thursday, Aug. 4, to report to the World Series venue where they will attend a Media Day followed by opening ceremonies on Friday, seed play on Saturday and Sunday, and then they will begin bracket play on Monday.

Republicans have three choices for state rep.BY MARK J. CRAWFORD

Telegraph Editor

Republicans were well represented during a July political rally at the fairgrounds by candidates who either are looking to represent you.

District 19 candidates for the Florida House of Representatives on the Republican ticket include Leslie Dougher, Bobby Payne and Katherine Van Zant. The winner of the Aug. 30 primary will go on to run against Democrat Joe Snodgrass.

Dougher’s presentation was most animated, and she began with an anecdote about waking to an inquisitive deputy asking about her cow being loose in the cemetery. Dougher said she is a cattleman with a farm in Green Cove Springs, and she is a realtor and small business owner.

“Real estate isn’t just about buying a house and selling a house; it’s about your community,” she said. “You all buy a house because you want to live, work, play and raise a family somewhere that you love. Let me tell you, I have not experienced anything better then love in Bradford County, walking door to door the past couple of months.”

In addition to her business

background, she has been the chairman of the Republican Party in Clay County since 2008 and said she helped get Gov. Rick Scott re-elected when she was state party chair, in addition to the cabinet and candidates for Florida House and Senate.

“It was a big job. It was the most expensive election in United States history, and it was

a lot of fun because there was one thing and one thing only out there, and that was creating jobs.”

She said jobs still needs to be a top priority, but it is something this area’s representative has failed to produce for Bradford County.

Dougher’s background in economic development includes chairing the Government Affairs Committee for the Clay County Chamber of Commerce. She has also been a planning commissioner.

“I understand how to bring jobs into the county. Seventy

percent of the population of Clay County used to leave and go to Duval,” she said. That began to change 10 years ago when they started to bring businesses into the county. Job growth increased 34 percent, she said.

“Ladies and gentlemen, that’s what needs to happen. That’s the

Some school board candidates new to politics, others are vetsFaith, family education drive Best’s service

BY MARK J. CRAWFORDTelegraph Editor

As much as Robbie Best has loved teaching in Bradford County, he has decided he is willing to walk away from it and run for school board if it means he can effect some of the changes that need to be made in the system.

Best is running in District 3 against Cheryl Canova. One of them will fill the seat currently held by Randy Jones, who is retiring from the board. Voters will decide between them during the Aug. 30 primary.

Robbie’s family, including parents Verle and Connie Best, traveled a lot when he was a boy before settling in Starke when he was a high school freshman.

Even though he was a good student, involved in athletics and student government, when he graduated BHS in 1976, the only way he wanted to see Starke was in the rearview mirror, he said. He was ready to get out of the small city and stretch his wings.

They took him first to Stetson University where he studied physical education because of his love of sports, recreation and working with young people, and then he made good on his teenage promise to follow a calling to the ministry by pursuing a Master of Divinity degree with an emphasis in education in North Carolina.

The ministry became his full-time career, first as a youth

pastor before he became pastor of a church in northeastern North Carolina, a rural area not unlike Bradford County.

Best moved on to pastor other churches as well, and he had married his wife, Janet, who went to work as a school paraprofessional. As their children grew to school age, they wanted to settle down, so he brought the family to Bradford County, where the kids enrolled in local schools and Janet took a para job at Southside before completing her certification and becoming a teacher.

Best was bivocational, pastoring youth at Kingsley Lake Baptist Church and teaching,

School board a new adventure in service for Canova

BY MARK J. CRAWFORDTelegraph Editor

If it’s happening in Bradford County, it’s for a good cause and it benefits young people, there’s a very good chance Cheryl Canova is helping to organize it.

One thing Canova hasn’t done is run for public office — until now. She is seeking the school board seat in District 3, running against teacher Robbie Best. Voters will decide during the Aug. 30 primary who will replace Randy Jones, who is retiring from the board.

There’s little more than a snowball’s chance in Florida that you don’t know who Canova is. But just in case you are unfamiliar with her and her accomplishments so far, here are some of the ongoing projects she is planning or involved with.

Building on the College for Kids and Exploring Science programs she founded as director of the Santa Fe College Andrews Center, Canova wants to work with Southside teacher Dan Wells on expanding the Bradford County Education Foundation grant-funded Lego Robotics program into an after-school program, forming a team to compete in Lego Robotics competitions.

Canova is president of the education foundation, which is also beginning the Need It, Get It program. Canova applied for and received a $2,700 grant from Capital City Bank to start the program. Teachers will be able to post their resource needs online and visitors to the website will be able to view those requests and choose which projects to sponsor.

“We’re bringing the whole community into helping our teachers, because they do have to spend a lot of their own money to make things happen. We’re hoping to be a support system for our teachers.”

Canova is involved with Kiwanis — which has evolved from primarily supporting athletics, she said, to academic programs as well, assisting with the Positive Behavior Support activities, for example — and Altrusa, which is dedicated to supporting literacy through initiatives like Real Men Read.

The Bradford Fest Talent Showdown Canova founded has raised more than $40,000 for the Santa Fe College Foundation to provide scholarships for Bradford students. She also helped develop the Weekend Backpack Program through her work with the Salvation Army, which fills more than 200 backpacks with food for students to take home each weekend.

“There’s a lot of need. It makes reality hit you in the face,” she said. “We get letters from kids in their little backpacks who say, ‘Thank you. You have no idea what this means to us.’”

Whether it’s the kids she worked with for years as head of the city of Starke’s recreation

program, those who line up for school supplies at the Back-to-School Info Fair, or the two she personally mentored through Take Stock in Children — one who became an emergency medical technician and the other who is finishing her associate’s degree — Canova’s efforts have meant a lot to a lot of people.

With all of this and more going on, who has time to run for school board? Or the energy?

“This is just me. This is my life,” she said. “I love children. I never had any, but I love them, and I want the best for them.”

As for why she wants to do it, well it’s pretty much for the same reason she does anything — to help. She also feels she has a professional background that could bring something new to the school system.

“I’ve been on the outside looking in, trying to help through everything I do that supports education,” she said. “So my goal is to get a new perspective, to get on the inside so I can see what really goes on.”

Just attending the school board meetings since she decided to run has been “an eye-opener,” she said, adding she still has a lot to learn.

“I’m excited for a new adventure. I’m excited to learn and be able to help in a different way.”

Canova said she is running with the blessing of Santa Fe College President Jackson Sasser, who mentioned to her months ago that the school board was in need of positive people in order make a difference.

“I felt like he encouraged me,” she said, and her husband of 21 years, George, did as well. The rest of her family thinks she is crazy, she joked, but of course they are behind her.

“What’s exciting for me it to see kids learn,” Canova says of the kinds of hands-on learning programs she has been involved with and which she would like to see more of. She knows that program cost can be an issue, but the programs at the Andrews Center are “done on a dime.”

“We don’t spend a lot of money. We use recycling. We do a lot of things that kids say,

Plainspoken and direct, Chappell hasn’t changed

BY MARK J. CRAWFORDTelegraph Editor

In what could be called classic Vivian Chappell style, she has not only announced that she is a candidate for school board in District 4, but that she intends win.

During a recent rally and with a big smile, she even thanked incumbent Elbert Hersey for keeping her seat on the board warm but told everyone she would be taking it back now.

Voters in District 4 will choose between the two during the Aug. 30 primary.

Chappell owes her reputation for being outspoken in large part to the 20 years she spent on the school board. Four years ago, she did not run again so she could take care of her husband, Hiram, who passed away in 2013.

“I would have stayed here until they carried me out,” Chappell said, but her husband needed her more. “Anybody with two good brain cells would have realized I would come back!”

She stayed as involved as she could over the past four years, and she said that is what the district needs from its board members — people who are involved in schools and not just the boardroom.

“I realize that my job as a school board member is to set policy and see that it’s enforced through the superintendent, but how can you set policy if you don’t know what’s going on, if I’m not out here seeing what’s happening? If I don’t know there’s a teacher shortage, if I don’t know there’s a flu epidemic, how can I help if I’m not out there? So I’m out there and I’m in your face. That’s the kind of person I am.”

Chappell pledges a near daily presence in the schools, and to dig for the information she needs to make a decision anywhere she can get it.

“I do want to know about the budget. I do want to know how money is spent. I want to see it.”

And because she wants to know, the information sometimes makes its way to her, she said, recalling an incident from years ago.

“I would have never known they wanted to put tar over a bad roof if some little bird hadn’t called my house, and I went up there and found it!” And when she did, the rest of the board heard about it later that night.

On being outspoken, she said, “The girls at work say I have an unfiltered mouth. I have tried over the years to learn to think before I open my mouth. I’m still not real good at that.”

If her brain isn’t in charge, it could be that her heart has taken over and that’s why she speaks up, as she did when confronting the practice withholding lunches from students who could not pay while food was literally being thrown away.

“I told them I would stand on 301 and ask for peanut butter

and jelly before I allowed that to happen!”

Years later, school meals are free, and that makes this child advocate and former guardian ad litem very happy.

She’s been counseled to pick her battles, but Chappell insists the small ones are as important as the big ones.

She wants teachers to be as free to speak their minds without reprimand.

“You’ve got to listen to teachers, but you can’t penalize them. They get penalized. You cannot penalize teachers for telling you what they think, how they feel,” she said. “If I don’t know how they feel, how can I go get help for them?”

The same is true of talking to students and parents, she added.

“Kids are not always right, but if you listen to them, a lot of things can come out of that.”

She also insists that teachers and students can do a better job showing up, because learning cannot happen unless both are there. There was a time before she became a substitute teacher when she didn’t know what a substitute was.

“Back in our days, teachers didn’t miss school. They either died or somebody in their family died. They didn’t miss school — and you didn’t miss school.” She said she was recruited by a job for Southern Bell based solely on her attendance record.

“We need kids in school. You can’t learn if you’re not in school, and when you don’t hear it come out of that teacher’s mouth, it’s never going to come out of there again that way.”

And if the teacher isn’t there, an entire class isn’t learning, she said.

Chappell is concerned that teachers are encumbered by paperwork and that gets in the way of the kind of creative instruction that keeps students engaged. The paperwork and the testing, of which there is also too much.

“Reading, writing and arithmetic will get you ready to learn the technology you need to go in the future. You’ve got to give the basics.”

She insists the district can

Help kids in need get back to school and back to normal

It’s almost time for school to begin. Children are often excited to see friends they have not seen all summer, teachers they have had in the past who have opened their horizons, and new classes they think they will like.

Children who have been taken away from their families due to neglect or abuse and are wards of the State often have a very different experience. They have changed schools so many times that they are behind in classes, they have no friends, and know that everyone will soon figure out they are in foster care.

Even if they would be good at something like soccer or basketball, they don’t have anyone who will pay for the costs of extracurricular activities or get them to practice. This is not a normal or acceptable life for any child. They feel alone, different, left out and inadequate.

These are the children who desperately need someone to keep reminding them that they have potential and that they can succeed. That they are someone who deserves to have friends and people who believe in them. Someone who really cares and genuinely likes and values that child for who they are.

A guardian ad litem volunteer is that person. They are assigned by the court to make sure these children are safe and to gather and report valuable information that the court will use to make decisions affecting these children’s lives. The program is also supported by the Guardian Foundation, which pays for enrichment opportunities like summer camps, extracurricular activities, bikes and prom dresses — things most children take for

granted.It is a flexible program and it

doesn’t take much time, but it can make a lifetime of difference to the children who have a guardian ad litem volunteer.

Classes are held in Starke. No special background or legal experience is needed. For information about the program, go to www.guardianadlitem.org, or call 352-672-2592.

Retailers expecting big crowds for tax-free shopping

The Florida Retail Federation, the state’s premier trade association representing retailers for over 75 years, reminds Florida families, consumers and its 270,000 retailers that the popular annual back-to-school shopping season takes place this weekend, Aug. 5–7.

This annual tax-free weekend allows Sunshine State families to save on supplies and clothes to prepare their children and themselves for the upcoming year.

Nationally, the average family is expected to spend $673.57 on apparel and accessories, shoes and school supplies, up from last year’s $630.36. Nationally, sales for this back-to-school shopping weekend are expected to reach $75 billion, up from $68 billion last year.

“The back-to-school sales tax holiday remains one of the most popular shopping periods of the year in Florida with students, parents and business professionals looking forward to saving money on the clothes and items they need for school or work,” said FRF President/CEO Randy Miller. “We’re excited about what the weekend will bring in terms of increased sales for businesses and the important

savings for consumers.”The holiday means big savings

for shoppers and big business for retailers, which has become the second largest shopping weekend after Black Friday. As part of the holiday, shoppers don’t have to pay sales tax on back-to-school items including clothing and shoes priced at $60 or less, and school supplies less than $15 per item. For a complete listing of all eligible items, visit http://bit.ly/2apcd0n.

According to FRF’s partners at the National Retail Federation’s recent survey, families with children in grades K–12 plan to spend an average $673.57 on apparel and accessories, electronics, shoes and school supplies, up from last year’s $630.36 for a total of $27.3 billion, according to the survey. That’s an increase of 9.6 percent from last year’s $24.9 billion and compares with a total growth of 54.8 percent over the past 10 years.

The numbers follow a pattern in which spending often increases one year as families stock up on supplies only to drop off the next as they get a second year out of longer-lasting items like backpacks or computers. Spending then increases in the third year once children outgrow clothing or items need to be replaced.

According to the survey, K–12 consumers plan to spend $9.54 billion on clothing (purchased by 95 percent), $8.27 billion on electronics such as computers or calculators (57 percent), $5.12 billion on shoes (94 percent) and $4.37 billion on school supplies such as notebooks, folders, pencils, backpacks and lunchboxes (96 percent). Parents say they will spend an average $235.39 on clothing, $204.06 on electronics, $126.35 on shoes

and $107.76 on school supplies.While discount stores

continue to be the choice of the largest share of shoppers at 61 percent, the number is at its lowest level in the survey’s history. But 46 percent of parents said they would shop online, a dramatic jump from last year’s 36 percent. The vast majority of online shoppers plan to take advantage of free shipping (89 percent of those surveyed) and conveniences like buy online, pick up in store (54 percent).

Y Across the Garden Fence ZAcross the Garden Fence is sponsored by the

Bradford County Extension Service. Readers who wish to pose gardening questions should forward them to Master Gardener Laurie Compton at lcompton@ufl.edu.

August gardeningWe have sure seen some problems at the

extension office this year due to the mild winter, the late spring and the hot, hot summer! Let’s see what August brings.

What to plant in AugustThe hottest days of summer limit what

can be planted. Try vinca, gaillardia, bulbine and coleus. Bulbs that can be planted, even in late summer, include Aztec lily, butterfly lily, walking iris and spider lily. Herbs that can be planted (from transplants, not seeds) include ginger, Mexican tarragon and rosemary.

This month starts the fall planting season. A final crop of warm season vegetables, like pepper, beans and summer squash can be planted along with some cool season crops. If temperatures drop at the end of August, try planting broccoli, collards and onions.

What to do in AugustDid I mention that it’s awfully hot out? If you

work outside in the heat, please be sure to drink lots of water and take a break in the shade from time to time.

Damaged areas in the lawn may be the result of insects, disease or irrigation problems. Determine the cause so the proper remedy is used. Only remove one-third of the grass blade to reduce stress on the lawn. If older palm fronds are yellowing, you may have a magnesium or potassium deficiency. Apply an appropriate palm fertilizer. Prune roses,

hydrangeas, society garlic and other perennials to remove spent flowers and encourage more blooms.

Wildlife calendar

—Young sea turtles are hatching, so watch where you’re walking on the beach.

—First flocks of blue-winged and green-winged teal arrive to winter on Florida lakes and wetlands

—Yellow warbler migration begins.—Two-year-old black bear cubs will

wean from their mothers.—Thousands of great Southern white

butterflies can be seen migrating through coastal areas.

Did you know? Great Southern whites (Ascia monuste)

are one of five white butterflies commonly found in Florida. Spanish needles, a weedy wildflower, is a favorite nectar plant as are lantanas and verbenas. The butterflies are often seen visiting the flowers in open areas on and near the beaches.

The adult butterflies have a wingspan of 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 inches. Females may be dark gray in summer. The average lifespan of males is five days and eight–10 days for females.

Some Great Southern whites migrate when temperatures are in the mid-70s or above. Typical migrations are 20 to 40 miles and last two days or less. Movement is usually northward in summer and southward in winter.

There is still time to apply for our next master gardener class. If you would like to become a Bradford County master gardener or you want more information, call me ASAP at 904-966-6299 or email me at lcompton@ufl.edu.

MILTON SUMPTER, JR.For Bradford County

Commissioner, District 1

Political adv. paid for & approved by Milton Sumpter, Jr. Dem. for Bradford County Commissioner, District 1.

To Whom it May Concern:I read with interest the recent well-conducted interviews in the Telegraph with the District One County Commission candidates. One major thing I was struck by was the utter lack of accomplishments for our district by the current commissioner—and even more so by the city council member who supposedly represents folks in the Starke city limits part of our district. Obviously, however, as she admitted in the article, right there in black and white, she has benefited herself. So much of her time has been spent on her own behalf while being an elected official in obtaining her own educational degrees during those many years. Where are the actual accomplishments for members of her district? Not much that I can see.Education is a wonderful thing; we all want our children and grandchildren to do well and achieve more than we ever did. But we elect city council members and county commissioners to actually WORK for us and to achieve results on OUR behalf, not for their own enrichment and benefit or status. We deserve someone who doesn’t just do good things benefiting their cronies, buddies and families and who do little actual work on behalf of or truly building our community.Now I do know another person running for District One County Commissioner and he doesn’t have bunch of fancy degrees on his modest home’s walls. But I know one thing about Milton Sumpter: he is not afraid to get his hands dirty doing hard work! He has plenty of experience working hard all his life, including with bureaucrats who don’t achieve much or care first and foremost about what’s best for the city or county. He knows how they work and knows hogwash when he sees, hears … and reads it.Milton Sumpter, Jr. is a man of faith. He is plain spoken. soft-spoken, straightforward, hardworking and honest. He doesn’t go much for show – he prefers efficient straightforward action, working and achieving results in the best way possible. He asks for input from his team, his family and his community. He has many years as a volunteer youth coach, has been a foster parent for more than a decade, and now an adoptive parent of boys he fostered. He is a man of faith who gives to his church community as well. He and his wife, Judy, are treasures in our community. They love and respect everybody and will do what it takes to make a difference in the County for District One.I don’t know all the fancy ways to say jazzy political things myself. I just know that Milton Sumpter is someone I have always been able to count on (for the past 36 years), that he understands the full picture of how these career politicians operate, thinks deeply about important issues, cares so much about our city, county and district, and he knows that our citizens deserve better than fancy talk-and-do-nothing politicians who benefit themselves and the good ole boys in power. I’m with Milton on August 30, and I urge you to vote for him too.Respectfully yours,Concerned Voter in Bradford County District One

District 19 covers all of Putnam, Bradford and Union counties, in addition to southern Clay County.

In a telephone interview, Van Zant said he is entitled to the homestead exemption on the house, and settled with Alvarez to remove the issue from his wife’s campaign.

“I didn’t do anything wrong,” he said. “I’ve have owned that house for over 30 years. I raised my children there. It is my home.”

The lawmaker added that he and his wife moved into a house owned by his son Charlie eight years ago in order to remodel the Southeast 35th Street property.

“It’s got one of those tar-and-gravel roofs and it leaks,” he said. “We’ve been remodeling it. I pay the light bill. I pay the water bill. I

pay the taxes.”While acknowledging that

eight years seems like a long time to remodel a house, Van Zant said his duties in Tallahassee, which he said has included 11 special sessions, have kept him away from the property.

“It’s been a slow remodel, but that’s my prerogative,” he said.

“There is no law that says how long a remodel must take.”

Van Zant also pointed out that Katherine is not a joint owner of the Bradford County property, and he blamed her political opponents for raising the homestead exemption issue.

“This is a politically motivated onslaught by the opposition,” he said.

Leslie Dougher, who is running against Van Zant’s wife for the District 19 seat, drew a parallel between Van Zant’s tax problems and the recent indictment of U.S. Congresswoman Corrine Brown.

“Honesty, integrity and truthfulness is what we want in a state representative,” she said. “Obviously, we have not seen that in the last eight years.”

Katherine Van Zant’s other

opponent in the Aug. 30 Republican primary, Bobby Payne, did not return a phone call seeking comment for this story.

Political Rally Aug. 20

Heilbronn Springs Fire Rescue is holding a political rally for the public to hear from local candidates on Saturday, Aug. 20.

kind of leadership you need.”Payne hails from Putnam

County and has an MBA as well as a 35-year history working for Seminole Electric. He was operations manager of the Seminole plant and also worked in the corporate office in Tampa.

“I’m a senior project developer, so I’m in this area quite a bit,” he said, adding they hope to build a new plant soon.

“I’m running because I know our rural district needs greater jobs. We need to improve our education. We need to reestablish family values. We need to keep government small, and we need to keep taxes and overregulation out of our pockets. And I’m here to tell you I also want to defend

our Second Amendment rights.”

Payne has chaired a chamber board and served as Rotary Club president. He and his wife are co-chairs of The Arc of Putnam County, and he is a district chair for the Boy Scouts. He has also worked with Haven Hospice.

“I want to make sure that our correctional officers understand that we’re going to fight to get you raises. It’s something that needs to happen, and not just stand on the floor of the House and say we should be ashamed of ourselves after seven

and a half years when nothing

has been done for you.”Van Zant hopes to fill the seat

her husband is vacating because of term limits. She said she is an engineer, not a career politician.

“My background is working in water, wastewater, utilities. My background is being a consultant to regions, listening to what they tell me about how they want to grow, and then telling them what they need to put in place to do that and how they can pay for it.”

Due to her prison literacy program, she said she has spent more time “behind the wire” than any of the state’s legislators, and she has worked in special education.

She also has experience in Tallahassee with the legislators and legislative process, she said.

“I’ve walked all over the county, talked to hundreds of people here and asked what do

you see as our needs, what’s

important to you.”Based on that

Van Zant said she’s ready to fight for Second Amendment gun rights, stand strong against illegal immigration, and seek funding for prisons.

“The general public and the legislators have no idea how dangerous our situation is in our prisons right now.”

Republicans only will be voting to select their candidate during the primary. The winner will face Snodgrass (profile to come) in November.

Katherine Van ZantBobby Payne

REPSContinued from 2A

first at Southside, then Lake Butler Middle School for a year, and finally Bradford Middle School. For the past 14 years he taught subjects including career readiness and social studies. He also coached multiple sports at the middle and high schools.

Best will continue teaching, although because of his school board race here, he has accepted a position back at Lake Butler Middle School teaching social studies and coaching volleyball. On Sundays, he continues ministering to youth, providing worship and counseling services at the Florida Youth Challenge Academy.

“My decision to run was tough,” Best said, and it was something weighed for several years against his love for teaching and coaching in Bradford. “My teaching and my coaching really

were my passion, and still are my passion.”

Best — whether in churches, religious programs or public schools — has been closely involved in working with youth for more than 40 years, including taking teens on mission trips for an organization his daughter is now working for.

His involvement with young people and education is unquestionable and is one of the three most important things in his life: faith, family and education.

“That’s part of what led me to want to run for school board, because as much as I enjoy teaching, some things need to be done, some things need to be changed,” he said. “If I had the privilege of being able to be involved in creating some of those changes, then if that’s the Lord’s will, then that’s what I want to do.”

Best said it feels like a mission, and his leadership skills as a teacher, preacher and coach will

help him accomplish it.Specifically, he said he wants

to turn around teacher morale.“Teachers want to feel good

about what they’re doing. Obviously, we don’t do it for the money,” he said. “The morale really is impacted more with teachers wanting to feel they’re appreciated.”

Appreciation is important in keeping teachers on task, and when they don’t feel it, then it can affect their performance.

Best said the district needs to do a better a better job of finding and keeping good teachers. He did some checking, and looking at his son’s 2010 yearbook, he found that only three of the teachers pictured are still at the school. Some teachers are leaving in the middle of the year, so students are having to adjust to a new teacher or do without when the district cannot fill the slot.

“I’m not throwing rocks at anybody, but the thing is, we’ve got to close that door.”

Washington and Tallahassee have made sure that testing and school grades will be a continuing issue, and Best said Bradford cannot escape that. Though he feels too much emphasis is placed on testing, the system is being evaluated based on student performance on those exams, and so the district is obligated to do everything it can to prepare students to do well.

“You have to balance that out. Everything we do cannot be about the test,” he said. “It’s really more about — are we giving these students the tools to be successful? Are we helping them to become good, productive citizens?”

So along with test preparation, students need to be given the life skills and ability to think critically to pursue their goals. As the leaders of tomorrow, and even within their peer groups today, they need help developing character and integrity, which includes a willingness to sacrifice and give back to their

community.“I think if we can accomplish

those things, we’re on the right path to success,” he said.

Discussing some of the issues he would have to address as a school board member, Best mentioned the groundwork already being laid to consolidate three schools in a new facility, which he said in terms of technology would create some new opportunities. There will also be challenges, he said, asking three community schools to give up their place and identity.

“That’s going to be a tough thing for folks to buy into,” he said. It will be up to the school board and district personnel to help them see the benefits and feel good about what it will mean for the students.

As he campaigns, something he is hearing from voters is their concern about discipline in the schools and their desire for safe learning environments, and that discipline be equitable. Many also care about bringing up

the district’s grades, but really want to know that their kids are learning and will be prepared for life when they graduate, he said.

His students have asked him to get rid of the uniforms at the middle school and improve food in the cafeteria. On those two topics, he made no promises.

Whatever issues he tackles as a school board member, Best said he would handle with tact. Just like it takes a special temperament to teach at the middle school, he said people have told him he has a gift for diplomacy.

“In that kind of environment, you need that. You need a good mix of temperaments and personalities.”

One thing is for sure. Change won’t be easy and it won’t be fast.

“We’re talking about turning a big ship,” he said. “The best changes are going to take time.”

BESTContinued from 3A

‘We never do anything like this in school.’” Canova would like to change that. Kids learn from creative, hands-on experiences.

Having said that, as a teacher of Santa Fe’s College Success course, she challenges her students to come up with a better way to assess progress than with a test.

No one has met the challenge yet.

The alternative to eliminating testing is learning to take tests and cope with the stress, and she tries to help her students do that.

Canova also wants to be hands on in the schools, directly supporting teachers and writing

grants for education programs. Her approach at the college is not to put herself above her employees, and so they function as a team, or even a family, and they communicate. When it comes to improving teacher morale, she said it’s important to listen, and also get the word out about all of the exceptional things that are happening in their classrooms.

Recognizing the pressure on many parents in a rural community to sometimes work more than one job and also be involved in their children’s education, Canova said some are even unfamiliar with the skills being taught since so much has changed. Some courses for parents could help get them involved.

She would also love to see

more community involvement and excitement about the schools. As she has seen from her own efforts to raise money and support for programs, you never know what people will be willing to contribute until you ask.

“I think maybe I could be a key player in that,” she said.

College and personal policy keeps Canova from wading too far into the debate over the state of the school system and the ongoing race for superintendent lest she be seen as taking sides. She did say — having worked with four superintendents — that she can work with anybody.

“I’m supportive of whoever gets this position. I will work with them and I will do the best of my ability to support them,” she said.

“I love the word synergy,” she said, speaking of working with other board members, too. “We all bring different things to the table, and together we can make it great if we have a positive attitude. I think that’s very important — a positive approach.”

That is her approach to the

new elementary school proposed to unite students from Southside, Hampton and Brooker. Though she empathizes with the sense of loss some might be feeling, but she sees the school as an opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art campus with money from the state. If the district doesn’t take advantage

of the opportunity, there is a big question about where the money to improve the existing schools would come from.

“It’s a catch-22,” she said. “I feel like they’re weighing all of the possibilities and trying to make the best decision they can.”

CANOVAContinued from 3A

do better spending its money to relieve the burden placed on parents and teachers to supply materials. She’s been there. When she worked in school, kids knew they could turn to her for everything from pencils and notebook paper to clothing and personal items.

“That’s what it’s about. Providing what that kid needs. It would be nice if every parent did this, but they don’t. It’s never going to be a perfect world, it’s up to us to be the leaders to get what these kids need.”

Chappell is confident and direct, but she is not a one-woman army.

“There are a lot of needs in our system. There are a lot of things that can be changed. It will take all of us working together to make those changes.”

The board can’t be divided, she said, but board members cannot be pushovers, either.

“You cannot have a divided board. Now does that mean I’m going to vote yes? Oh, no, it does not. And if the superintendent wants me to vote yes, he better

have a lot of good reasons for it, because I’m going to vote for what’s best for those kids.”

Speaking of such votes, Chappell was asked what she thought of the proposal to replace the schools at Southside, Hampton and Brooker with a new state-funded elementary school.

“I’m never in favor of closing a school that destroys a community. However, financially, it may be a situation where there’s not a lot of choice.”

If the preferred location on S.R. 100 proves viable, then Hampton would be “the very lucky school.” Chappell said she does have concerns about the distance other students might have to travel, and more community input is needed before a final decision is made.

Whatever the issue, you won’t have to wait until it comes time to vote to know which way Chappell is going to swing.

“In the past — and I can’t see me changing — you’ve always known what I thought, what I felt.” And she said she would knock on doors and ask parents their point of view before arriving at a decision.

“That’s just me, and you’ve

known me long enough to know I am what I am. What you see is what you get.”

Chappell said her dream is to one day have more people trying to get into quality Bradford County schools than the district has room to accommodate. If that dream seems out of reach, consider she also once dreamed of a day when nursing students like her did not have to drive to St. Augustine to get an education. She told the rest of the board and the vocational director something had to be done, and today Bradford has a program and guaranteed employment for nursing program graduates who pass their state test.

Chappell is passionate about the career programs the district offers and went through the patient care technician program at the vo-tech on her way to becoming a nurse. She has also worked with the disabled at The Arc and currently cares for the elderly at Windsor Manor.

She’s also a grandmother and great-grandmother to kids ranging from kindergarten through high school. Win or lose the school board race, she will be an active presence in the schools.
