"Community UnitN" is the phrase Main Street
Starke's Virgil Berry has been using to describe the
way various groups have been coming together for
the benefit of the city of Starke, and it describes
perfectly last week's effort at beautifying West Call
Street. .
Main Street received a donation of several palm
trees that were growing on the site of the soon-to-
be constructed Walgreens pharmacy, but they had to
-be moved-by-last Friday. Facing that deadline and
with a goal of giving the palms new life on West
Call, a number of people jumped on the bandwagon
to get the job done.
Property owner Clayton Re% els agreed to the
donation some time ago, and Robert Kotovsky from
Walgreens called earlier this month to express his
agreement.
Main Street's Kim Skidmore and Carol Berry
worked %with Linda Johns and Rick) Thompson
from the city ot'Starke to formulate a plan. Lending
their expertise was County Agent James DeValerio.
County Forester Nicole Howard and Al Sanchez at
North Florida Landscape Management.
A slew of city workers, including Charles Yates,
Loren Turner, Cris Kadlec and others provided the
-manpower to get the trees in place.
Now the palms have a new home on West Call
where they will grow and beautify downtown for
years to come.
Animals pushing county over budget
BY MARK J. CRAWFORD
Telegraph Editor
The county commission may be
persuaded to provide more money
for health care services (see related
story), but one thing it doesn't want
to pay more for is animal control
Citizen involvement in cleaning
up .animal control and making it a
more humane operation since Starke
took over animal control was held
partly responsible for rising program
costs.
Bradford County PAWS formed
earlier this year in response to
dismal and deteriorating conditions
at the shelter and has since turned
things around, contributing hundreds
of volunteer hours to cleaning and
caring for the an'itals,- reducing the..-
number of euthanizations and
greatly increasing the number of
adoptions.
PAWS also studied the business
end. of the operation. In April, the
group told the city commission that
revenue was being lost and
suggested that local governments be
billed not by the number of:calls
received from their areas but by the
number of trips made to'respond to a
particular call.-A single -call, it was
pointed out, could result in multiple
trips before a stray animal was.
caught.
When that billing method was
instituted, the number of times each
entity was being billed for service
increased, which.. increased the
amount coming in to pay for animal-
control, but also drove the county's
contribution to animal control over
budget.
The county is billed for trips to
"..pick-up- anitials--unincorporated
areas. Last year, Starke's services.
pushed the county's animal control
budget over by nearly $2,700, but it
was after PAWS formed in the
second quarter of this fiscal year and
Starke began billing according to the'
group's recommendations that costs
really jumped. After the billing
method was changed to a per-trip
basis, the county's, bill jumped from
$8,600 in the- first quarter to more
than $19,500 in the second quarter.
By the end of May, the county had
been billed for $37,365, which was
$11,765 more than the county had
budgeted for animal control for the
entire year.
By the end of this fiscal year on
Sept. 30, the county has projected
that animal. control will cost it nearly
$50,000, twice what it had initially
anticipated.
County Manger Jim Crawford
said the county wasn't prepared.for
the escalation in cost and he is
-- looking--into other options for
providing animal control services
outside the city limits.

Health
-providers
ask for
county
support
BY MARK J. CRAWFORD
Telegraph Editor
As budget time approaches. the
count, commission is receiving
requests from health care providers
for more money to support their
services.
Amy. Davis spoke to the
commission last %week on behalf of
ACORN Clinic, which serves the
poor and uninsured. ACORN is
asking the county for $25,000 in the
fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. That's a
sharp increase over the $10,000
glen by the county commission in
prior years. but Dav.is explained the
increase would help make up for
cuts from other sources.
ACORN Clinic is facing funding
cuts from the United Way because of
a restructuring of funding priorities.
Groups in the same tier at ACORN
saw cuts of 19 percent, she said. For
ACORN that amounts to a loss of
more than $35,000 and additional
cuts in support are expected in the
next two years, bringing the total to
41 percent.
Davis said United Way was now
focusing on supporting programs
instead of agencies.
"We're in the business of running
a rural health clinic, and I cannot
come up with new programs.every
day," Davis said. "We're doing our
best to serve the uninsured, to make
sure they have medications, that
they have the proper primary care.
that children have dental care," she
added. saying that ACORN was the
only agency in the area that will take
- -Medicaid for dental services to
children and adults.
The clinic could also see a
reduction in support from Alachua
County as well given the number of
community agencies competing for
those dollars.

exception
decision
Rumored racetrack
meets resistance
BY MARK J. CRAWFORD
Telegraph Editor
The. Bradford iCounty Board of
Adjustment won't decide whether or
not to allow recreational uses on
.nearly 700 acres of land near Starke
until next month.
The three board members present
tabled the issue until Aug. 7 when
they hope the full board will be
present to hear the request.
At issue is an application for a
special exception that would permit
a wide range of recreational uses on
700 acres off of Forsyth Road
owned by Douglas Mains.
When granted, the special
exception allows for racetracks,
speedways, golf courses, country
clubs, tennis racquet clubs, gun and
archery ranges, hunting clubs, travel
trailer parks, campgrounds and other
recreational uses in areas zoned for
agriculture.
The wide range of uses allowed
and the landowner's unwillingness
to commit to which'of the specified
uses may be developed on the
----property .gave pause to both to the
board and nearby homeowners. ....

A communitywide cleanup
day was set Saturday in
Starke's District2 and
organizers said the event
was highly successful.

"It was highly successful," said
City Commissioner Carolyn
Spooner after the communitywide
cleanup day Saturday in Starke's
District 2.
Spooner said area residents had
spent the week cleaning up yards
and homes and had their trash and
debris out at the curbside by early
Saturday morning. City
employees and inmates from local
prisons arrived with a city dump
truck to pick up the debris.
City Project Director Ricky
Thompson said the dump truck
was filled to capacity 12 times.
Each load weighed about 4,000
pounds. The three large
dumpsters provided in the area
were filled and ready to be hauled
off on Monday.
"The most important things is
that the community pulled
together," said Spooner.
"Churches in the area helped get
the information out and a lot of
people worked hard to clean up
and put their debris out on the
roadside."
Spooner said another cleanup
day, is being planned in future
months. "I think it helps restore
pride in the community," she said.
"When the community looks nice,
people feel good about the
community' and want their
-community to be a place of pride.
That is our goal."

Continued from p. 1A
Davis said she. knew the
entire amount requested from
the county commission might
not be approved, but she hoped
commissioners would see fit to
approving an increase.
The number of residents
served by ACORN Clinic has
increased to 27 percent, and an
agreement between the health
departments in Bradford 'and
Union counties will allow
those departments to use
equipment owned by ACORN.
to further seTve the health care
needs of uninsured women in
the area.
The clinic provided more
than $65,000 in charitable
write-offs for medical and
dental care in Bradford, and
bad debt write-offs totaled an
additional $15,365.
ACORN's Tooth Fairy
Dental Outreach Program
reached 455 kindergarten and
first-grade students in Bradford
elementary schools.
Union County, which also
receives services, was also
asked for an increase.
Requests have. come to
Bradford commissioners from
other health care providers as
well.
Shands Starke is the area's
largest health care provider,
serving 90;000-palients in the
last 12 months and providing
more than $9 million in salaries
to employees living primarily
in Bradford, Union and
Keystone Heights, according to
Shands Administrator Jeannie-
Baker.
The number of patients seen
without medical insurance or
the ability to pay for their care
is increasing, Baker wrote in a
letter to .the county
commission.
"The lack of preventive and
routine care is evident as
people seek care in the
emergency department and the
cost in uncompensated. We
also provide many diagnostic
tests for patients who are in
need of care but cannot pay the
bill," she wrote. '
Without namingi-a figure,
Baker asked for an increase
over the $20,000 it receives
from the county each year.
"Shands Starke has provided
$2.9 million in indigent care
and has $3.5 million in bad
debt expenses. By supporting
your hospital, you are investing
in health care for Bradford
County," Baker wrote.
Meridian Behavioral
Healthcare provided mental
health and substance abuse
treatment to 608 Bradford
County adults and children
with services valued at $1.2
million. Most receive more
than one type of service. The
majority received outpatient
(490) and medication
management (291) services,
but 158 also used the
emergency screening, crisis
stabilization or detox services.
Ninety-five people are enrolled
in case management programs,
and 24 receive residential care.
Services offered exceed
revenues received.. and
Meridian is expecting le.,s slate
support in the future. Meridian.
is asking the county to increase
its support by more than
$32,000 for a toll ol $'110,000
in the coming year.
Citing its increased liability
insurance premium, now more
than $27,000 annually, The
ARC of Bradford County is
asking for $16,500, nearly
$2,600 more than previous
years.
The WellFlorida Council,

County committee will
a address senior citizen services
B) MARK J. CRAWFORD
Teleg'Iraph Editor
County Commissioner John
Cooper has asked his fellow
commissioners to recommend
community members who will
,it nr a -committec addressing
senior citizen services in
Bradford County.
"I have had a burden, if you
\ ill, that we as a county don't
do enough for our senior
cilizen population." Cooper
said.
Other than general
government services, the only.
comribution to senior citizens
comes in the form of annual
financial support for the
Suwanncc River Economic
Council, he said.
An advisory committee
would bhe able to study what is
and isn't being done .for
Bradford County's elderly,
population and 'recommend
improvements to the county
commission.
,. In his travels, Cooper said
he's seen counties Bradford's
size developing and operating
senior citizen centers.
"I think that's an avenue we
should look at," Cooper said,
although the direction the
county takes will ultimately be
based on the recommendations
of the advisory committee.
Each commissioner is being
asked -to recommend two
citizens for appointment to the
committee. County Clerk Ray
'Norman will serve on the
committee and Community
Development Director Angela
'Macey will serve as staff
liaison.
Commissioners were asked
to be ready to name two
appointees by the county's
next meeting.

He said the cost per animal
tends to fluctuate depending
oi what types of
improvements are being made
to the facility, meaning the
county is paying a pro rata
share of the costs of facility
improvements on top of
animal collection.
Commissioner John Cooper
said that represented an open-
ended agreement that gives the
county no control over what it
will spend for animal control
and is contrary to the county's
a.greement-to-be-billed--bas1ed
solely on the number of
animals picked up. The county
agreed to pay for base
operational costs, not facility
improvements, he said;
He called for a conversation
to be had with the ,city or
PAWS, whichever entfty' is
now running the shelter.
"I don't want to downplay
what they're doing--I think
that's a great idea-but at the
same time, we aren't an open-
ended checkbook," Cooper
said.
Crawford said he
scrutinized the city's
expenditures before allowing
the bills to be paid and found
that the city was in fact
spending that much on animal
control. One such cost was the
pouring of a concrete.
foundation of what is planned
to be an improved shelter.
Personnel costs are also up.
City Clerk Linda Johns said an
employee is being paid dozens
of hours of overtime to
perform animal control.
Crawford said an alternative
for the county may be
allowing Alachua County to
take animals to their facility.
Commissioner Ross
Chandler said the intcrlocal
agreement for animal control
services needs to be revisited,
and Crawford said now would
bce the time. According to
Johns that agreement has
already expired.
Cooper said the county
needs to continue finding
animal control, and in his
mind that means the county
provides the city with a set
allocation and how the city
spends that money will be at
its discretion.
"I don't want to be in a
situation where my checkbook
is being hit every month and I
have no say-so over those
expenditures," Cooper said.
Crawford said the county
should do what's humane for
the animals, but do it in the
most efficient way possible.
The county manager was
asked to continue talking to
the city, but was also directed
to continue exploring other
options.

Davis running for reelection in Starke
Degree bestowed in Lawtey
Mv name is Larry Davis. and
I would like to take this
opportunity to announce my
intent to seek reelection for the
District 3 Starke City
Commission seat. It has been a
very rewarding learning
experience scrvi-ng. the past
three and a half years as your
commissioner.
I have resided in Starke for
most of my life. My wife,
Marcia, is employed as an LPN
for Shand.sStarkc, and we have
a daughter, Lizabeth, who
attends Hope Christian
Academy.
Being "the self-employed
owner of First Coast--Florida.
Recovery Inc. gives me the
ability to be available to all of
the citizens-of Starkc whenever
you have issues or concerns.
Being available to the citizens
is a No. I priority.
While serving I have never
asked to be reimbursed for
rooms, meals, fuel, etc. while
attending out-of-town

Continued from p. 1A
Saying the land was now
being used for hunting and
cattle grazing,. Mains.
representing Royal Palm
Landholdings of Starkc,
indicated the special ccepiion
would give them a spectrum ofl
possible new uses .
Chairman Pete Schlosser
was concerned with the
number of possible uses
allowed under the special
exception for recreation, saying
the lengthy list made it difficult
to decide if approving, the
application would or would not
be appropriate for the area.
SThat, however, is the way the
code is written. It is not an
application for one recreational
use or another; it is.. an
application, for all of the
possible recreational uses
allowed under agriculture. It
would be at the landowner's
discretion which of those uses
to develop.
Homeowners in that area
were no more comfortable with
that scenario than the board of
adjustment.- -
Among them was Mark
Batterson, who wasn't opposed
to all of the potential uses-,
setting aside a hunting club as
an acceptable example-but
said the landowner could also
select any of the other allowed
uses and never consult with
anyone again.
Andrew Griffis also said his
objection was based on-not.

responsibility, not the city of
Starke's.
In my three and a half years
of service,' I have been active in
trying to. negotiate cheaper
At a visioning session held for
the city of Starke last month,
County Manager JirmiCrawford
sketched a design that showed
a race track, water park and
golf course all located within
the same recreational
development.-
Crawford, whq addressed the
board at the top of the meeting
about a new era of gro\\lh in
Bradford County and the
responsibility of managing- that
growth wisely, said it wasn't
necessarily appropriate to
require the applicant to state
the intended use of the
property. .
Short of a formal visioning
process. Crawford said he has
formed an ad hoc committee of
leading citizens, and he asks
'for their opinions when
approached about potential
developments.
Those he has spoken to'
about this particular
development "have 'been
"highly in favor of it."
Batterson said those leaders
don't live in that area and the
opinion of those who do live
there should carry some weight
as well.
Mains said he also lives there
and isn't doing anything that
would hurt anyone.
"Whatever it winds up being
will help everybody," he said.
Bob''Workmai' of Kesione
Heights said the land was
purchased to increase the
ability of people to use the
land, and once land is
purchased, you would like the
freedom to use it in whatever

New mentoring program targets
violence, teaches respect
BY DUSTIN HORN
Telegraph Staff Writer
On Sept. 5, the TALKS
Mentoring Movement will
begin at Bradford Middle
School and Starke Elementary
School for grades three through
eight.
TALKS, which stands for
Transferring A Little
Knowledge Systematically,
aims to decrease violence in
schools and to bring respect for
teachers and parents.
Elaine Slocum, executive
director of Bradford County
Faith Community Center, said'
the program is needed because
of the many one-parent
households in Bradford County
and the high dropout rate.
"We have a 4.6 percent
dropout rate in Bradf6rd
County," she said.
According to the program's
Web site, the TALKS mentoring
curriculum and structure was
designed to help men and
women share wisdom on
critical issues with children.
The curriculum consists of
four text books ard mentor
guides for participarits'to work
through. The texts are"'TALKS
My Father Never Had With
Me" and "TALKS My Mother
Never Had With Me."
The Web site further explains
that the structure of the program
places one adult and three
young people in a setting where
no one is threatened and
wisdom can be shared.
Slocum said the program is
unique from other mentoring
programs because it doesn't
target a particular student
group. She said the program
doesn't separate students of
different abilities in an effort to
encourage friendly competition
that will result in learning and
behavioral changes.
"We hope to see reading level
changes ... and we hope to see a
lack of fighting on the
campuses this year." Slocum
said.
This will be the first year the
program is offered at area
schools. The curriculum for the
program was written by the
Rev. Dr. Harold D. Davis,
executive director of the
TALKS Mcntoring Movement,
and his wife. Dr. Ollie Davis.
Volunteer mentors arc needed
to make the program a success.
Volunteers are asked to:
Commit I hour per week (30
minutes in a public school and
30 minutes of travel time).
mentor on weekdays (no
weekends or evenings).
make contact with students
only at school.
serve as "real" models for
students, not a replacement
parent.
attend training sessions and
support seminars as needed.
use the content-based
curriculum that is provided.
Those who are interested in
being a mentor can contact the
'Bradford County Faith
Community Center at (904)
964-5088.
The new mentor orientation
is on Thursday, Aug.' 10, at 7
p.m. at the school board district
office meeting room in Starke.
The training is being done by
the Rev. Dr. Harold D. Davis
and it is on Saturday. Aug. 26, at
9 a.m.
If you are interested in
registering your child for the
mentoring program, you-can
contact the student's school
guidance counselor or the
Bradford County Faith
Community Center.

Riding along with the
Starke Police Department
BY LINDSEY KIRKLAND
Telegraph Staff Writer
Traffic on U S. 301 is-
backed up. You've sat through
two red lights, waiting behind,
a line of cars to turn because a
semi blocked the lane again.
When the green turn signal-
finally appears, the cars start to
mote, but bN the time you
make it to the intersection, it is
turning red Impatient, you
turn an)%\ay..
Not too far down the road,
the reflection of blue lights are
in the rear view mirror.
It seems like when a police
officer pulls a driver over for a
traffic infraction, it is the only
tinie they get- noticed; and it's
usually not a happy reaction-
from the guilty motorist.
However, the Starke Police
Department, as do most law
enforcement agencies, said the
reason they pull people over is
for safety and not just to write
tickets.
One way to show the public
how dedicated the department
is to safety is through the Ride
Along program.
According to Margie. Hall,
an administrative assistant at
the Starke PD, the Ride Along
program gets about three tc
f our participants a month.
."Usua-ll-y, itf's people
interested in, becoming
officers," Hall said.
However, the program is nol
limited to those people
Anyone interested in riding
with-a-ipolie officer has to fill
out an application, availtabie-al
the police station, 83C
Edwards Road.
Once the application is
approved, anyone can ride
with a police officer at ar
assigned time.
To experience the prograrr
first hand, a Telegraph reported
rode with two Starke- PE
officers. Four hours were speni
with each officer.
On patrol with
Officer Paul King
Starke PD Officer Paul King
was expecting a lot ol
complaints about noise. It was
only July 3, yet people were
already setting off fireworks.
Noise complaints are ar
aspect of the job that occurs
often. Whether it's fireworks
barking dogs or car stereos, the
Starke PD has to deal with i
all.
Officer Tarrant puts a man in the back of her
patrol car to transport him to the Bradford
-County Jail.-Sgt. Matthew Watson, also of the
Starke Police Department, stopped the man's
-vehicle. on a routine traffic stop and found less
than 30 grams of marijuana.
Each officer works a 12-
.... hour-shift-(5 a.m. to 5 p.m. and
vice versa) unless they are on
administrative duty, such as
the higher ranked staff and
t, administrative assistants. Each
* shift has-4three people on

Street. A resident complained

Before even making it to the
location, dispatch called King
to cancel the call..
1:17 p.m.: King said when
the patrol cars get around half
g a tank, they have to stop by the
f city yard to fill up with gas at
s the city maintenance yard on
e Orange Street.
1:22-1:44 p.m.: Because
a Starke is not exactly high in
s crime compared to larger
, cities, officers primarily do
traffic enforcement during a
t shift.
"We do a lot of traffic and
-traffic crashes," King said of
what was looking to be a slow
day.
Even though officers write
traffic tickets, King said that is
not all he focuses on.
"Our primary job is to
answer public service calls,"
he said. If they are eating or
taking a break, officers drop
everything to go to a call.
A day can involve one or
two calls from the dispatcher
to non-stop calls directing an
officer to disturbances and
accidents, followed by plenty
of paperwork, King said.
When there is not a specific
call to work-.on,.. le said he

checks. In cop talk, that's a

When doing property
checks, officers look for
possible _thieves or illegal
activity.
Drug activity is something
they are always on the lookout
for.
"You wouldn't believe
people who get hooked on that
stuff," he said.
- King said he has seen the,
face of drug -is change, from
criminals to moms, nurses and
professional people.
Prescription drugs have
become a big problem.
Because Starke is a small
town, he said he sees the same.

that federal safety officials and
the manufacturer of a- marine

product-the Sportsstuff Wego

Consumers who purchased
the tub6s are asked to call
Sportsstuff at (866) 831-5524

wide circular, yellow, inflatable
-water craft-designed to be towed
behind a power boat. A rider in
the tube becomes airborne by
pulling on handles attached to
the tube.
According to the CPSC, the
tube has been implicated in 39
accidents and at least two
deaths. Injuries have included a
broken neck, a punctured lung,

College for Kids wraps up fourth year
BY LINDSEY KIRKLAND
Telegraph Staff Writer
Part of the Starke Woman's
Club was filled with students
learning modern dance, while
the kitchen half was used as a
cooking class.
At the Santa Fe Community
College Cultural Center, kids
were being giving field
sobriety tests and others were
scrapbooking. At the Andrews
Center, the magic of math and,
movies were unfolding.
While it may sound like a
weird combination, these were
sure signs that SFCC's
"College for Kids" program
was underway for the fourth
year in Starke.
The program began July 10
and ends tomorrow, July 21.
Who wants to be handcuffed? Apparently
Andy Rowe, 11, who volunteered to be cuffed
by BC Sheriff's Office Deputy David Young.
During the two weeks, SFCC
is able to reach approximately
65 students who will be
entering sixth through 10"h
grade in August.
College for Kids allows
students to experience some
classes that they might have
the opportunity to take in
college.
In a previous Telegraph
interview, Linda Sheffield, the
program coordinator, said the
main goal of the program is to
expand their knowledge and
allow them to have fun at the
same time.
College for Kids gives the
students an opportunity to take
a full or half-day course load
in approximately 20 different
classes, ranging from leather
working to family
communications, in 70-minute
blocks. .
Ne\w to the schedule' this
\ejr %ere three dance classes
modern dance, creative
mo\ ement and classical ballet)
and a drama class, all taught
b. Dianne Murphey, the
director of dance education at
the Duval Fine Arts Academy
in Gainesville.
After attending a couple of
days of the class, about 11
students lined up last Tuesday.
for the' modern dance class.
Students learned various dance
techniques, everything from
how to properly stretch to
communicating with a dance
partner to leaps and rolls.
They even learned what to
do \\ hen your muscles get sore
(Murphey advised them to sit
in warm water for 30 minutes).
"You only have one bodN."
Murphe. said. "You don't get
another one when you use it
up."
A first-time College for Kids
student, 12-year-old Julia
Roberts said she wanted to get
back into dancing so she
enrolled in drama and modern
dance.
"I used to take ballet in
Jacksonville," she said.
Roberts said she now lives
in. Starke and read about the
SFCC program in the
newspaper.
It is Roberts' first year in
College for Kids. She said she
didn't know what to expect,
but the dance class caught her
eye.
Roberts said her goal is to
become a singer when she is
older.
"I thought it'd be fun to
learn .some dances," she said,
so that she could better
entertain her audiences.
After the first few days of
classes, she said the program
had. lived up to her
expectations.
-Another student had a
different reason for joining the
class.
Josh Craig, 13, does not
necessarily want to pursue
dance professionally. He likes
to dance at school dances, but.
he said there is just one
problem: he's not that good at
it.
Craig admits, "I can't dance.
Maybe if I come here I can
dance a little better." ,
As Murphey explained to
the class, half of dancing is
having the confidence to get
out there and do it in front of
an audience. Craig had the
added pressure of being the
only male student in the class.
"At first, it was kind of
weird," he said. Though after a
while, he fell right into the
instructor's routine and didn't
even pay attention 'to the
cooking class right next door
in the Woman's Club.
This was Craig's second
year in College for Kids. He
liked it so much the first year,
he' went from a half day to a
full six classes.
Another class that was well
attended was "Save a Life"
taught by instructor Joyce
Cooley, who has at one time or
the other been a paramedic,
firefighter and dispatcher in.
Bradford County.
Cooley wanted to give her
class a wide variety of safety
and law enforcement tips, so
she presented her own lessons
and. invited guest speakers
from agencies, such as the
Starke Fire 'Department,

little information about jail

The-people who work at the

find a conflict of interest there?

It is common practice for
public defenders to carry more

time. Some of these are capital
cases. If you were looking at
the electric chair as your future,
would you want to be defended
by counsel with more than 100

you're fighting for your life?
It is the state's intent 'to
incarcerate you-indefinitely if
it suits their purpose. That
purpose is conviction.
Ever wonder why they call it

RIDE
Continued from p. 1B
1:45 p.m.: After checking,
the area around Division 5
Steel (off of Weldon Street,
from Cherry to Herlong) and
several apartment complexes,'
King was dispatched to assist
the Florida Department of
Corrections Probation and-
Parole Services.
"We do a lot of these on day
shift," he said.
At the probation office, King
met up with Jennifer Luke, a
probation officer. She needed,
him to transport the offender
once she filled out the
necessary paperwork and went.
to w here he was located.
The offender, convicted of
aggra ated assault and
considered a :violent one, had
broken his probation by getting
arrested for a DUI in Hampton.
2 p.m.: Depart probation
office to pick up the offender
at his place of employment.
On U.S. 301, a man in the
next lane flags King down.
"Just in case you didn't
know, your back tire is flat,"
the good Samaritan said.
King calls dispatch to let
Luke know he will meet back
up with them after the tire is
fixed, and back to the city
maintenance yard he goes.
.2 `4-':20 p.m.: While law
enforcement tends to attract
people who like to help others
and like a sense of excitement,
this day is not living up to
expectations.
As the tire is changed, King
explained that in 1989, he
became a reserve deputy in
Clay County. He was living in
Jacksonville at the time, and
later, he was a reserve officer
there, too.
"It's been a part of my life
since right after high school."
he said.
In 1991, .he attended school
to become a police officer.,
Afterward, he worked for a
real estate company doing
private security.
Tired of doing the same
thing, he went to work for the
city of Waldo in 2000.
"It was a good job to start
off in," King said.
Writing a lot of tickets was
,,his main job there, and when
he got tired of doing this, he
came to work for the Starke
PD. He has been with the
department for four years.
2:36 p.m.: After meeting
back up with Luke and her co-
worker, King was again in
route to pick up the probation
violator. He was apparently
out on a job, and Luke decided
to pick him up at his home on
-the night shift.
2:50 p.m.: King again
patrols for traffic violations..
Above his visor, he keeps a,
warrant list. While he's on the
lookout for red light runners,
speeders and tagless vehicles,
he tries to get the bad guys off
the street, as'well.
King calls in a tag to.
dispatch to check the
expiration date.
"The new color of the tags
makes it harder to see from
farther away," he said.
The tag sticker used to be
alternating colors for each year,
and have the month and year
on two separate sides.
3:IO p.m.: A man flags
King down at the Kangaroo at
S.R. 16 aridT U.S. 301: The
pedestrian's van 'is not
working, and his wife and
grandchild are sitting in the
heat.
King attempts: to jump off
the van. When not successful,
he goes to Douglas Battery to
get- someone to take a look at
the van.
These were not all of the
calls, but it was 'reflective of
the type of cases he gets
dispatched to. His shift ended
at 5 p.m.
Crime heats up
when the sun
goes down
Starke'PD's officers, like
Michelle Tarrant, will admit
the night shift has more action.
Beginning at '5 p.m., the
only female in the department.
on full-time patrol began her
shift. Another female,
currently working as a
dispatcher, will soon join her
on the streets,
Tarrant works the night
shift, and like all officers, she
switches to days every, 58
days. Officers also alternate
the days they work from week
to week, resulting 'in having
Friday. Saturday and Sunday
off every other week.
After spending eight months
on inmestigation/dispatch duty
and two months on maternit)
leave, Tarrant said she was
glad to get back on street
patrol.
"After taking off a year, it's
like ever thing's new again,":
she said.
The adrenalin rush they get
while rushing to an accident or
putting criminals in jail is why
many officers take the job in
the first place.
Tarranr's aunt was a sheriff.
and her uncle was an officer in
Jacksonville..
Even though the family
history was there, Tarrant got
into the field "more for helping
kids," and "helping people,"
she added.
On March 3,.2004, Tarrant
was sworn in as a law
enforcement officer. From her
first, day, she thought the job
seemed "fun."
She keeps stuffed animals
'and police stickers in her
patrol car to keep it fun for
children she meets through her
job.
"It's always good when you
can help somebody," Tarrant
said.
Once out,,on .patrol, she
..W fr'e with routine traffic
enforcement; which she did for
almost two hours.
During this 'time, she
explained that her most-
common calls were domestic
violence and loud noise.
Sometimes these complaints
are related, but rarely alcohol
is involved.
6:50 p.m.: Tarrant was
dispatched to the' Western
Steer where, a man had
collapsed.
Unsure at times of where he
was, the man said he was
visiting from New York and
was supposed to be'meeting
his sister who was an
employee of the steakhouse.
However, no such employee
worked at the Western Steer
and its employees were
concerned because the man
was so disoriented and
believed he needed a family
member.
Tarrant gave the man's
Florida tag number to her
dispatcher to try and locate the
owner.
Once a name, address and a
possible telephone number of
that person were located,
Tarrant .called to see if they
knew. of the man, to inform
them he was going to the
hospital and that his car would
be parked at the Western Steer.
The person on the other end
. of the. phone had never heard
of the man.
6:55 1p.m.: Tarrant turned
the investigation over to EMS
(since they had to transport the
man to the hospital) because a
man in a SUV stopped to tell
her there had just been an-
accident at. the Wal-Nlart
SuperCenter and no police
were on scene.
As Tarrant quickly made it
to the scene, she radioed the
dispatcher her location and to
call for more assistance.
First on the scene, she found
a woman. later identified as
73-year-old Audrey M. Neal,
pinned in her van after being
hit bN a tractor-trailer.
Seconds later the EMS and
county deputies showed up to
relieve Tarrant of the accident,
since the roadway :had. not
:been annexed as. part of the
in a .situation like that,
Tarrant only had to spend a
limited amount of time
checking on the woman and
directing traffic. Nonetheless,
she was glad to be of
assistance.
7:20 p.m.: Tarrant went to
assist Sgt. Matthew Watson in
transporting a woman who he
had seen buying what appeared
to: be two pieces of crack
cocaine.
Once in the patrol car, the
suspected crack buyer told
Tarrant she was buying the
drugs for someone else, and
she, was. not a drug user
herself. .
; Oce at the Bradford County
Jail, Tarrant 'was required to
fill out paperwork, as well as
.more reports when .she later
returned to the Starke PD. She
also had to secure the
evidence.
"Things can easily get
thrown out if you: don't handle
it properly," she said.
8:16 p.m.:' Not having a
minute break since her first
main call of the night, Tarrant
was then sent.to Market Road,
near Old Lawtei Road, for
another drug arrest.
Watson had conducted a
traffic st6p when he found less
than 30 grams of cannabis
(marijuana).
After securing the suspect in
the back of her patrol car, the
suspect asked if he could have
a blanket once he got to the jail
and be quickly transferred out
of the holding cell.
While a first instinct might
have been being abrasive to
someone who has supposedly
committed a crime, Tarrant has
a different outlook.
"You treat people with
respect, and they'll treat you
with respect," she said.
She .told the suspect booking
was going fast that night, and
he should be processed
quickly.
"I like helping people more
than getting rough with them,"
she said.
Tarrant made another
dropoff at the jail, requiring
more paperwork and taking up
the remaining time with the
Telegraph reporter.
Though the first couple of
hours went quickly, so many
calls within an hour can easily
cause officers on night shift (or'*"
day shift, for that matter) to get
backed up with paperwork that
has to be completed before':
they can leave their shift.

Starke center to provide
abortion alternatives
BY MARCIA MILLER
Telegraph Staff Writer
News of a pregnancy is
.often met with joyful
celebration. Sometimes,
however, the news is met with
'fearful anxiety. When that
happens, a woman makes one
of the most significant
*decisions of her life at a time
when she is under severe
stress, ... .
A Gainesville organization
will soon open a branch in
Starke that will help women.
make that stressful decision an
informed one.
The Women's Resource
Centerrof-AlachuraCoonty is a'--
nonprofit organization that,'
provides pregnant women with
counseling and information
about all of their options.
The faith-based organization
provides women in "crisis
pregnancies" with alternatives
--To abortion, _altheuglr-
information about abortion is
also provided. WRC does not
refer, or encourage women to
go, to doctors who perform
abortions, however.
"Our main vision is to
empower women to make an
educated choice about their
health," said JoAnna Padget, a
representative for WRC. "We
want them to make an
informed decision about their
pregnancy and be aware of the
alternatives to abortion."
The Starke branch will be
located on Walnut Street,
occupying the front offices on
both floors of Craig Falstreaux
Heating and Air. It is set to
open Aug. 7.
Tentative plans are for it to
be open on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday from
10a.m. to 6 p.m.
WRC provides counseling
services for pregnant women
and free pregnancy testing.
Information is provided
about adoption and
organizations that can help
with housing, maternity
clothing, baby clothing,
supplies, free ultrasound, etc.
Women who think they want'
an abortion are provided with
information, counseling and a
referral for an ultrasound test.
Women who have already
had-an abortion are provided
with counseling to help them",,
deal with the emotional
repercussions.
"We try to help them heal
from decisions of the past that
hold them back from their
future," said Padgett.
See CENTER, p. 5C
After talking to LeAnn
about the idea, a haircut soon
followed.
Amanda Hardee, owner of a
Starke hair salon-Cutt'n
Up-donated the haircut
because LeAnn was giving it
to Locks of Love.
SAlthough losing 10 inches of
hair was a dramatic change,
Wood said LeAnn was excited
about'cutting her hair to give
to another child.
Wood said LeAnn is looking
forward to attending
kindergarten in August with
her new hairdo.
For almost 10 years,-Locks
of Love has been providing
free wigs to children under the
age of 18 who are financially
disadvantaged. Children like
LeAnn make up 80 percent the
total donors.
Each week, Locks of Love.
receives 2,000 hair donations,
but still strives to reach every
child that has long-term hair
loss.
If interested in making a
donation to Locks of Love,
the organization gives, the
following guidelines:
The hair donation must
be at least 10 inches long.
Twelve inches is preferable.
It must be bundled in a
ponytail or braid.
I* It cannot be damaged by
_chemical processing.
Hair must be clean, cry
and placed in a plastic bag.
All bagged hair donations
can be mailed in a padded
envelope to Locks of Love,

Crase enters Altrusa presidency with experience
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
Dana Crase may have
entered this year with anxiety
as the new president of the
Altrusa Club of Starke. but she
actually had the opportunity to
get any fears out of the way
last year.
Crase found herself stepping
in as president earlier than she
had planned because -last
year's president became ill. It
was unexpected and Crase
admitted she was very scared.
"I had no forewarning," she
said. "It's just like all of a
sudden it was there. Because I
have such good people around
me, they helped me with the
transition and helped me learn
my way. A lot of it was trial
and error, but we actually had
a very exciting year."
Now Crase is serving her
"first real year" as president,
she said.
"I feel much better this year.
I know what's expected."
As for her expectations.
Crase would like to see more
members join the club, which
is open to professional women.
True, the 54 members the club
currently has is a lot for a
small town, Crase said, but she
would like to see some
younger members join and add
their own ideas and expertise.
No matter what the ages are
of the Altrusa. members, they
all have the common goal of
serving their community. A lot
of that service centers on
promoting literacy and
providing scholarships. Crase
cites a couple of examples last
year in which the club received,
$1 ,000 from Altrusa
International and $3,000 from
Wal-Mart to be used toward
scholarships.
"Hopefully, .we will 1get
more scholarships this year or
grants so we can give out more
money to the schools," Crase
said.

and then act upon that," Crase
said.
She looks forward to her
club's continued involvement
at the Altrnsa district level.
Currently, the club has Beverly
Hardy serving as District 3
treasurer, Carole DeCelle
serving as financial consultant
and Martha Epps serving as
foundation director. Hardy has
also been nominated for vice
governor.
Crase said a small club
having, that many .district
delegates is quite a feat, but
she would like to see even
more.
"We're pushing for six this
year," she said.
There are several exciting
things coming up this year for
the club, and Crase said she is
also excited about the
opportunity of meeting with
the presidents of the other
local clubs: Cheryl Canova of
Kiwanis, Kim Skidmore of
Rotary, Joan Rogers of the
Woman's Club and, possible ,
Janet' Revels of the Lions Club.
Those presidents plan to have
their clubs cooperate on a
community project.

that;',' Crase said. "I think
that's going to be very exciting

CENTER
-Continued from p. 2C
The Starke branch is needed,
said Padgett. There are no
similar centers in Bradford or
.Union counties or the
Keystone-Melrose area.
Although WRC in Gainesville
has served thousands of
women since 2002, only 103
have come from this area.
"Most women will not travel
more than 15 miles from
where they live to receive
service due to fear or lack of
reliable transportation," said
Padgett. Having a branch in
Starke will encourage more
women to use the services
provided, she said.
"We want to present our
surrounding communities with
the choice of life," she said.
Padgett said that for every
thousand females in Bradford
County ages 15-19, there are
61 births per year. The national
average is 43.
Sixty-seven percent of all
people in America who have a
sexually transmitted disease
are underthe age of 25.
Young people are sexually
active outside of marriage in
this area and throughout the
nation. The chances of that.
negatively impacting their
health, both emotionally and
physically, are high.
WRC also encourages
"integrity-based" behavior
regarding sexuality, said
Padgett. She said efforts are
made to guide young people
away from sexual .promiscuity.
The Starke branch's initial
$10,000 fundraising goal has
already been met. That will set
up the branch office. Operating
costs are estimated at about
$3,500 per month and
fundraising to cover those
costs is still going on.
The Starke branch has
already received support from
Harvest Christian Fellowship,
Starke First Baptist, Hope
Christian Academy, Keystone
Trinity Baptist and the
Keystone Community Church.
"But, we are not about a
particular church or
denomination," said Padgett.
"We want to involve every
chuircdh. We see a bigger vision
of the community, crossing
cultural and denominational
boundaries by working as one
mind and one body, the way
- God-intended."
WRC is staffed by
volunteers and volunteers will
be needed for the Starke
branch. Training is provided
for volunteers who would like
to become counselors for
pregnant women at the Starke
branch. Counselors are also
needed to lead post-abortion
counseling sessions.
Also needed are people who
will serve as church liaisons
and fund-raisers, help with
computer data entry, .act as
speakers at events or sponsor
the decoration of a room.
Donations can be made in
jump-sum amounts or as a
regular monthly amount. Send.
donations to' the Women's
Resource Center, 912 NW 13th
Street, Gainesville, FL 32601,
or visit the Web site at
www.yourwrc.org.
For more information, or if
you are interested in
participating in training, call
(352) 377-4947. Monthly
meetings, which will be open
to the public, will be held on
the second Thursday of each
month at the Walnut Street
center.
REVELS
Continued from p. 3C
Clubs provide people with eye
glasses and eye screenings,
and offer financial assistance
for cataract surgeries.,
Revels said several members
of the Starke club are being
trained' to operate eye-
screening machines.. The club
will be offering free eye
screenings in September
(Putnam County will be
donating machines for the club
to use).
"We're excited about that
because a lot of times people
don't know they have a
problem," Revels said. .-
Also, the club, for the first
time, has successfully
completed paperwork to aid a
person with the cost of cataract
surgery.
"Our club pays a portion and
'Lions International pays the
.balance," Revels said. "We're
more than excited about that."
Revels would like to see the
club get involved in Lions
International Peace Poster
Contest, which provides youth
; N .
I :
Janet Revels
ages 11-13 the opportunity to
share their artistic vision for
peace.
In 'October, the club will
man a booth at Starke's Great
Pumpkin Escape,' which it has
done in the past. In November,
serious work begins on
Bradford County's annual
Toys for Tykes campaign,
which the club took on as a
project two years ago.
"That has been marvelously
successful,',' Revels said. "The
people in the community have
truly responded and supported
that.",
Helping people is why
Revels got involved with the
Lions Club in the first place.
She has a special place in her
heart, especially, when it
comes to helping people with
vision problems. Revels'
husband died three years ago
and it is because of the
donation of his eyes that two
people-one in Palatka and
one in Jacksonville-can now
see.
"That was so exciting to.
me-to be a part of Lions, to
be a part of helping somebody
else see;" Revels said. "I'm
permanently a Lion."
* /Anyone who is interested in
learning more about the club is
encouraged to call Revels at
(904) 364-8346. The club
meets the second and fourth
Tuesday of every month at 7
p.m. at Shoney's.
"We would love to see
people come and check us
out," Revels said.
Revels believes what any
potential member will find is a
fun club that includes a good
mix of people. Most clubs she
has visited in other cities are
composed mainly of retirees
and elderly people, but she
said the Starke club has quite a
few, younger people who bring
a lot of enthusiasm.
"Our club is an exciting
club," she said.
CRASE
Continued from p. 3C
years. She said she had no
intention of joining a club,
having been a member of
various clubs 'while her
children were young, One
reason she wound up joining
Altrusa was to' represent
Bradford County Eye Center,
where she works.
The main reason, however,
was because of the club's
members-. She already knew
most of them and they had
asked her several times to join.
When she did join, she found a
group of women she describes
as the most caring people she's
known.
"Every one in the club cares
about the other person," she
said. "That meant a lot to me. I
feel like I have a lot of sisters."
Crase was content to just
serve on committees within the
organization, but she found
herself serving as an officer,
which must have come from
her good friends pushing her to
do so, she said. To serve as an
officer was to step out of her
comfort zone, but Crase said
the other members made it
easy" for her. She said she' has a
lot more self-confidence as a
result and is now looking
forward to her "first real year"
as president.
"I think we're going to do a
lot of good things this year,"
Crase said.
If you would like to find out
more about the Altrusa Club of
Starke, please call Crase at
(904) 964-8076.

The heat of the middle of
tuTy tends to slow down a lot
6ft things and fishing is no
exception.
I Early morning, tate evening
and night time become
extremelyy important to avid
fishermen. These are always
iexellent times to fish, but
given more so during the hot,
$mnmer months. I will always
stand b* mN theory of the' best
game to go fishing is %whenever
(;IfE, )JI Z 7f"7L77
you can. I've had some bad
days fishing, but they were
better than any good day at
work.
My summer pattern consists.
of a lot of early mornings and
late evenings I like to arrive at
the lake around 2-3 a m and
fish.until 9-10 a.m or arrie
around 6-7 p.m. and fish until
the wee hours of the ne\t day.
The fish are just like
us-theN become more active

BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff t Writer
Brooker resident Hazel Wall
will be participating in a
signing for her book. "'Cracker
Girl: A Lo\e Story," this
Saturday, July 22. at Barnes
and Noble in Gainesville at 3
p.m.
Wall, 88, wrote the book
after her children persuaded
her to write down her life
story. -
"I just stated writingg" Wall
said in an earlier Bradford
County Telegraph interview. "I
never realized it was going to,
be a book."
It chronicles her entire life,
but Wall said the book doesn't
really get good until her
husband, J.E. "Bill" Wall
- enters the picture.
Hazel and Bill owned
several businesses in Bradford
County: a store in Lawtey,
described by Wall in her book
as a "typical 'GeneralStore' of
the time." and a motel-the
Bradford Motor Court-which
opened Sept. 1, 1952, on U.S.
301 just north of Starke.
The book,' which is
published by Vantage Press, is
also available at Goerings
Book Store in Gainesville.

MERE *S Mn,
when the sun goes down and
things begin to cool off. I can't
tell you how many nights I've
spent on Santa Fe, Hampton
and Alto lakes. Those have
been some of the most
peaceful times of my life.
I use the moon a lot in my
outdoor adventures and my
favorite is three or four days
before a full moon and around
a new moon.
In my younger years, when
my biggest worry was which
lake I was going to fish, my
summer routine was much like
this: I would head out arolihd 3
a.m. and stop at the Huddle
House in Starke for breakfast.
While there, I would decide
which area lake to go
to--Santa Fe and Hampton
lakes were always in the top
three.
I would fish from around 4-9
a.m. My personal best of 11.5
pounds came from Little Lake
Santa Fe at 4:30 a.m. on an 8-
inch Gill Raker worm.
I couldn't tell how many fish
weighing more than 5 pounds
I've caught in the dark. If
you've never heard a lake
come alive with feeding bass
at 3 a.m., you're. missing what
1i
I call music to my ears.
Fishing can be very
productive during the hot,
summer months-you just
have to pick and choose the
most productive times.
The Bradford County
Bassmaster adjusted their
summertime tournament
schedule last Saturday. They
began the tournament on Lake
Santa Fe at 6 p.m. and finished
up at 2 a.m..
7 Bass fishing is tough during
July and-this was no exception,
even at night. The 2 a.m.
weigh-in, however, produced a
few riice bass, including the
night's biggest bass of 5.5
pounds, which was caught by
the second-place team.

hunting season with a. huge
sale on all the latest hunting
equipment on Saturday. Aug.
12. Bring your bows by for a

Ill catch up with you on the
