Williston may soon have a new City Hall. During the past
months Mayor Hethcoat, City Manager James Colman and
the City Council members have investigated alternatives for
relocating Williston's administration to a new location. The
current building, completed in 1956, is in poor condition,
and its room layout does not readily meet storage and
records needs which have emerged over the last half century.
The council members agree the property located at the
northwest corer of NW 5 Place and N. Main Street (routes
US 27/41) will, with some internal changes, better meet the
city's needs for the foreseeable future, and remain close to
Williston's commercial center. The desired building was
built in 1986. Originally, the Brass Lantern Restaurant, most
recently it served Williston's congregation of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints until the congregation
built a new place of worship on adjoining property. The
church remains the owners of the property. The asking price
is $674,900. Coleman conjectured that, while the current
building may be devalued, the market value of the present
site, located in Williston's commercial center, is likely
equivalent to the desired property's market value.
The City Council in a unanimous vote directed City
Manager Coleman to issue a Letter of Intent to purchase
the desired property, research alternate financing strategies
for the council's consideration and list the current City Hall
property for sale.
An old AME cemetery and the dilapidated shell of a
building that county records identify as the former a former
AME church are involved in a legal dispute with the current
Property owner, Rollin Hudson of Hudson Farms. Hudson,
also a Chiefland city commissioner, was served a legal
action claiming that the land he currently owns belongs to a
successor of the original trustees.
According to DouglasMcKoy, president of Security Title
Services, which represents Hudson's interest, said there..
has never been a chain of succession in ownership from
the original trustees named in the 1893 deed. No church
organizational records exist and no meetings have been held
since the 1930s by the plaintiff's own claim. There has never
been a separate title recorded for the disputed parcel of land,
and the people from whom Hudson bought the property in
2006 had relatives buried in the cemetery in 2006.
'The structure the trustees claim is the Adamsville AME
Church had been nearly totally consumed by forest and
brush in 2006, when Hudson began to clear the property to
graze livestock. While he was clearing the land, he heard
that the AME church claimed the property where the old
church was. He went to McKoy for clarification. The title
company said it was his. He said the seller of his property
also claimed the half-acre and paid taxes on it for many
years.
In 2007, Julia Dexter Henderson filed a warranty deed for
a half-acre of Hudson's property with the Levy County Clerk
of Court, Danny Shipp. The copy of the deed presented by
Henderson to the county's property appraiser was filed in
May of 1893.
McKoy had the claim of ownership removed by presenting documentation of continuous
ownership that did not show any other claims to the property.
In 1893, a parcel of the property was deeded to trustees of the AME Church by the
original homesteaders, the Wilder family who gained possession of the property in 1862
from the federal government. The parcel conveyed is described as a "half acre in the
extreme north east corner of the south half of the south west quarter of section 32 in
township 11 south of range fifteen east of Tallahassee Meridian infFlorida."
The property in question was conveyedto previous owners with a clear chain oftitle
since before the 1950s, longer than Florida law requires, wlich is 30 years. The Floiida law
(Chapter 712) of Marketable Record Title states, "A person shall have a marketable record
title when the public records disclosed a record title transaction affecting the title to the land
which has been of record for not less than 30 years purporting to create such estate."
Hudson offered in late 2007 to donate property to the county to maintain the road to the
cemetery so that access to the cemetery can be maintained by the county. The cemetery
is enclosed with a chain link fence, but visitors have access to the gravesites through a
walkway through the fence. Hudson stated that he has not limited access to the cemetery in
any way.
Until 2007, no other claim to the property has been filed.
Henderson said she has filed legal action because she believes the property belongs to the
Adamsville AME Church.
"Our hope is we get it settled because we don't want to have a conflict," Henderson said.
"But we want what is ours." Hudson stated Tuesday that he has not been contacted at all by
Henderson or her nephew, Rev. Harry James Dexter. Last week, Rev. Dexter, pastor of the
Temple of Faith Ministries in Chiefland, visited the Levy County Commission to ask that a
right-of-way contemplated for Northwest 35th Avenue, which connects the cemetery to U.S.
Alt-27, not disturb any graves. The dirt road runs on Hudson's property between the old

STAFF WRITER
Sheriff Johnny Smith and Regional Director Barbara Thomas recognized volunteer
Beryl Bayer for her many contributions to the Seniors vs. Crime program in Levy County
on Tues., Jan. 29.
"Beryl Bayer is such an asset, not only to this program, but to this department," said
Sheriff Smith. Bayer was presented with the 2007 Regional Director's Award for her
outstanding service and extensive volunteerism,
Seniors vs. Crime (SVC) is a special project of the Florida Attorney General's office
created in 1989. The program is designed to educate against senior victimization and to
provide direct services'to seniors who may have been taken advantage of by businesses
or service providers. SVC volunteers partner with local police departments and theLevy
County Sheriff's Office.
Contrary to the name, the program is available to all people regardless of age, said
Thomas, regional director of district four whicf includes 14 other counties along with
Levy. "We're here to help everyone," she said. The program originally formed as a
result of the Florida Attorney General's Task Force on Crimes Against the Elderly, and
has since evolved to serve all community members with a continued focus on seniors.
SVC offers free services ranging from resolving civil disputes to remedying monetary
scams. Most conflicts are settled through informal mediation. Criminal cases are turned
over to the appropriate law enforcement agency and SVC volunteers support victims
throughout the justice process.
Statewide SVC has a successful recovery rate in workable cases of 77 percent. The
Levy County SVC has recovered more than $20,000 since joining the program in August
2006.

church and the Adamsville Cemetery. Hudson also does not
want any roadwork done that would disturb graves.
Henderson's attorney, Terry Tataru of Cedar Key, could
not be reached.
The Adamsville AME Church would like to move the old
church back from the road to accommodate widening. This
way, the widening would not cut into the cemetery. Then
the church would be restored for its historical value. At this
point, church representatives do not know how old it is.
Bruce Greenlee, the county's administrative
superintendent for roads, said the county has not taken a
position on widening the road, which now is a one-lane dirt
road that is not owned by the county. The county wants the
property issue resolved before it proceeds with any right of
way and roadwork.
"Right now the county's stance is until they get the
ownership straight, we don't have a position," he said.

City of Chiefland First to Collect
Educational Impact Fee
BY KELLIE PARKIN
STAFF WRITER
Chiefland became the first municipality in Levy County
to agree to collect the School Board's new educational
impact fee at the city commission's regular meeting Monday
evening.
The interlocal agreement states that the City of Chiefland
will collect the County-wide Educational System Impact
Fee within the boundaries of the city before building permits
are issued.
Chiefland City Commissioners accepted the
agreement provided that an indemnity clause is added.
Currently the agreement states that "The School Board
agrees to hold the City harmless from all liability which may
result from the performance of its obligations..."
Chiefland City Attorney Norm D. Fugate
recommended that additional language is needed in order
to release the city entirely from legal liability concerning
the impact fee. Fugate said it's important to make sure
that Chiefland holds no other responsibility aside from
collection, nor any other "possibility of responsibility"
involving the impact fee.
The commissioners approved a motion for the added
indemnity clause and agreed to enter the interlocal
agreement once the language is modified.
The School Board of Levy County and the Levy County
Commission passed the Educational System Impact Fee
Ordinance earlier this month. It will take effect May 1,
2008 for all new residential construction. According to the
ordinance and interlocal agreement, there will be $816.60
charged for new single-family detached houses in Levy
County before a building permit can be issued to begin
construction anywhere in the county.
When local municipalities collect the impact fee, the
ordinance allows for two percent retention of the collection
to help cover costs. The Chiefland commissioners agreed
that actual costs will probably be higher in most cases
and the city will most likely lose money on the interlocal
agreement. "That's why we call it a service," said
I Williston Robber Quickly
Arrested
On Jan. 24 at 9 p.m. the Lil' Food Ranch located at
16790 NE SR 121 in Williston was robbedby a white
female.
A white female walked in the Lil' Food Ranch store
wearing a black hooded sweat jacket. She walked to the
'.''-beer cooler and got:a 12-pack of Busch heer. jThe susspeti ;
with the hood over her head reached in her jacket pocket
'''hdid'nmanded 'ffihe@y' fr6i the register. The suspect did
not display a weapon but stated to the clerk, "Give me your
money and do not be stupid" and walked out of the store with
an undetermined amount of money and the 12-pack of beer.
Investigator Mike Narayan was able to identify the
suspect as an ex-employee with Lil' Food Ranch store,
Sharon Johnson Karam. The suspect was positively
identified as the person that committed the robbery and was
located shortly before midnight by the Sheriff's Office. She
admitted to committing the robbery and said that Raymond
Lewis Frazier was driving the getaway car when she
committed the crime. At this time, investigators are unable
to substantiate if Raymond Frazier had knowledge about this
crime and he was not charged in the robbery.
Investigator Narayan located Frazier in the Williston area
and he was arrested on an active Levy warrant for failure
to appear for driving while license suspended. Frazier was
additional charged by the Levy County Drug Task Force for
two counts of possession of cocaine over 20 grams and two

In other business, John C. Hipp Construction was
awarded a bid for three separate road resurfacing projects.
The original bid for two roads, SE 4th Street and SW
8th Ct/SW 3rd Street, came in low enough that the city
decided to piggyback off the first bid award and extend a
secondary paving contract for SW 4th Street to John C. Hipp
Construction for a total of $66,222.10 for all three streets.
Near the end of the meeting, Mayor Teal Pomeroy
expressed a critical need to address the situation involving
a home within the city limits. Last week, two adults and
four children were removed from the dwelling due to large
amounts of garbage, animal waste, human waste, insects,
and rodents found in the home. The adults were arrested.
on child abuse charges, and the children were placed in
protective custody. According to Chiefland police, this
family was part of a similar situation several years ago.
"We have to do something," said Mayor Pomeroy. "That
house has to be cleaned up." According to city officials,
the inside of the house can be smelled from at least 25
feet away, and is a public nuisance as well as potentially
dangerous.
The commissioners discussed many avenues of action,
most resulting in'unreasonable waiting periods. Without a
court order, no one can legally enter the home to dispose of
the mess.
They decided the most immediate approach would be
to contact the public defender of the home owner. The
commission hopes to reach an agreement with the home
owner so that cleanup can begin at once.
Miss Honey Says...
Hi Ya'll! Here I sit with a chair full of love. Sweet Pea is
on the headrest, Baby Doll is on my shoulder, Little Bit is
asleep in my lap and Sugar is under the coffee table; now
you tell me that isn't love, and make me believe it! "Never,"
and I love them too.
I went with a couple of friends to Newberry Saturday
morning and visited the thrift stores. Now I have some more
dolls to sew clothes for and dress. I guess I never outgrew
my dolls, because I still love to dress them up to look pretty.
Hush Donald, you love your old hound dogs too. Good

no one else does, and that, is love without exceptions. Yes,
puppy love, but is there any better love? I don't think so.
Good night.
Hi again, it is Monday morning and here I am again. I

CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Will you turn 70 this year? Assuming you have retired, you will likely be required
to start drawing a minimum amount of money out of your retirement accounts soon, and
you should make these important decisions regarding the distributions before the end of
this year.
The general rule for required minimum distributions is fairly straightforward.
You must begin drawing a minimal amount of money out of your regular individual
retirement accounts (IRAs) by the end of the year you turn 702, or no later than April
1 of the following year. You must continue to make minimum withdrawals no later
than December 31 each year thereafter until your death or your retirement accounts are
drained. You will pay income taxes on all earnings and pre-tax contributions at your
regular income tax rates.
For example, let's say you turn 702 on October 1 of this year. Then you must start
making minimum withdrawals by April 1, 2009. However, if you turn only age 70 on
October 1, you can wait until April 1 of 2010, because you won't be 70 / until 2009.
In spite of this general rule, there are some exceptions. One exception is that you do
not have to take minimum distributions from a Roth IRA at any time up to your death.
You can pass it on to your heirs, who will then have to begin minimum withdrawals.
You also do not have to start taking minimum withdrawals from your current
employer's qualified retirement plan if you are still working at age 702. You can wait
until you retire. However, you cannot delay distributions beyond age 702 if you own at
least five percent of your business, have a simplified employee pension plan (SEP) or
have a savings incentive match plan for employees (SIMPLE IRA).
One of the next decisions you must consider is whether you want to delay starting
the minimum distributions until April 1 of the year after you turn 702. By waiting,
the money has that much longer to grow tax-deferred, which is usually a good thing.
On the other hand, this strategy could boost you into a higher tax bracket for the year.
Say you wait until April 1 next year to take your first distribution. Technically, that
distribution is for the year 2009. Your next distribution will be for 2010. You can't
delay that distribution into April 1 of 2010. That must be made by December 31, 2009.
Consequently, you will have made two minimunt distributions in the same tax year.
You'll want to run the numbers by your tax advisor to determine whether the increased
earnings frori the delay exceed the increased taxes. Usually the won't.
Also, if you neglect to make your withdrawals by the required beginning date, or
you don'-take out enough, you'll pay a penalty of 50 percent on the difference between
what you took out and what you should have taken out.
Finally, understand that the minimum required distribution rule is a minimum, not
a maximum. That is, you can take out more than the minimum required amount in any
given year because you need or want the money. You can empty the entire account at
one time if you wish because you are not locked in to only the minimum withdrawal.

Let's Save "Old Folks at Home"
Because Governor Charlie Crist, no doubt pandering to South Florida influences, decides
that Stephen Foster's "Old Folks at Home" wasn't good enough for his inaugural ceremony,
Florida's official state song may be floating way down upon the Suwannee River. Two
senators plan to sponsor legislation to scuttle the state song.
The popular song adopted as the official state song of Florida in 1935 was updated
in 1978 with the dedication of the new capitol building to remove potentially sensitive
language.
But, that's not good enough, according to Senator Tony Hill of Jacksonville and
Representative Ed Homan of Temple, who plan to sponsor the legislation to replace it. Hill
and Homan and members of the black caucus feel it's time to kill the song.
Last year, a Florida education association sponsored a song contest, selected three songs,
and put them to an online vote to succeed "Way Down Upon the Swanee." About 8,000
participated and the new song with the most online votes was "Florida Where the Sawgrass
Meets the Sky." That is the song the two politicians will introduce as the replacement for
"The Swanee River (Old Folks at Home)" during the 2008 legislative session, which begins
in March.
Trouble is, every other online poll since the announcement for the contest was made
overwhelmingly goes for keeping "Old Folks at Home." We around here agree.
It's not too late. Let's stop this excessive political correctness. Let's add our voices to
the chorus for keeping "Way Down Upon the Swanee River" as our state song. Patriotic
southerners should contract their state congressman and register your "vote."

BUT ANYWAY
SGuv LSheffield
It's tetto &ho&fw-Smtr an1t wdtk Ljed
The tale of how I acquired my new Browning rifle
has become legendary around the office, at least to those
married guys with direct deposit like me. They've made
me tell it again and again. I don't even exaggerate, yet they
sit there and stare at me in awe. I can almost see their little
wheels spinning.
Often one of them will pull me to the side, "Listen, I got
my eypon .this new hg.screen. gAtay.uggsQpsi ,'
They refuse to even consider I may ae acqired.tat rifle
innocently, with hardly any conniving.
The rifle came about on this wise. My little brother
Heath had taken to spinning our childhood tales every day
at lunch in our work break room. Unfortunately, a lot of his
recollection seemed to center on how I used to bully him.
It's not that I didn't enjoy hearing about my glory days,
but he was really rallying a lot of sympathy at my expense.
So I figured I'd better quash his thunder a bit.
I thought and thought, but only one solution came
to mind; and since Heath was more rightly classified
as a younger brother now than a little one, I had a few
reservations about trying bullying him some more. I just
couldn't figure out what to do. Then the thought hit me,
"You could always pray!" So I did. I laid the whole twisted
tale out there on the table before God.
Big mistake! Or at least I thought so at the time. The
Lord seemed to side with dumb ole' Heath! He wrenched
me 6ut like a wet beach towel and hung me out under such
conviction that I began to have a series of very strange
thoughts, like I might need to make it up to Heath or
something.
Then the thought hit me about that new rifle Heath had
been hankering for. Begrudgingly, I knew what I must do. I
gathered my courage and took my plans to the boss.
My wife listened intently, and even seemed genuinely
sympathetic when I told her how bad I felt for whomping
that little wimp all those years. In fact, she was close to
tears by the end of my speech, so I finished strong, "It
would just mean the world to me if I could just get him that
new Browning rifle."
Maybe she'd heard some of Heath's sob stories before,
because she simply sniffled and uttered the words every
husband longs to hear. "I'll get the checkbook."
The next day we got that knucklehead a brand new
Browning. I was sorely tempted to skip town and keep it
for myself. Then the thought hit me, "The Lord is already
in it, I better just stick with the plan." So I did.
I wrapped the gun up in some old Christmas paper and
dropped it off by Heath's house that night while he was
out. I left him a note explaining how I just wanted to be a
good brother for once. I guess I even meant it, because it
kind of felt good.
S death called tgheet nigl.l'dverheag h ,
more excited. chattered on and on bout tlt rifle.
Then he sprung it on me. e and his wife Mindy had been
talking. Since he'd already saved up the money to buy a
rifle for himself they wanted to use it to buy me one just
like it.
Of course, I put up a good fight and all, but then the
thought hit me, "Who was I to rob poor ole' Heath of all
the joy this 'giving' stuff was bringing?"
It turns out shooting straight with God was a good idea
after all. Once I enlisted His help He hit me with one good
idea after another!
Maybe that's what King David meant when he said,
Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart
before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah. Psalms 62:8
KJV.
You don't have to read very much of the Psalms to
realize King David wasn't afraid to share things with God;
good, bad, or ugly. He just laid his feelings right out there,
and God didn't strike him down or anything. In fact, I think

the Lord actually honored him for it.
It may be a crazy thought, but what if God already
knows about all our secret rubbish? What if He's glad when
we finally get real enough with ourselves that we can get
real with Him? It worked for King David. He just stayed
right there on the potter's wheel, and God was able to shape
quite a man out of him.

of giving him brain damage.

Williston Quarterback Club Continues To
Build Champions
BY STEVE JARBOE
SPORTS EDITOR
The Williston Quarterback Club held a banquet at the Thomas Cattleman's Clubhouse
on Friday evening to continue placing strong emphasis on student athlete academics in the
classroom.
Head Football Coach Jamie Baker began the banquet by welcoming several new students
who did not participate on the Red Devil football team last season.
"We are trying to get the message across to our football players that we expect a certain
level of accomplishment in the classroom and the importance of academics in their everyday
life. We hold these Steak Dinner Banquets to honor our student athlete champions.
We have invited those of you who have expressed an interest in coming out for football
this spring to let you know what being a Red Devil Football Champion is about," Baker
said.
To become a member
of the Champions Club,
a student athlete on the
football team must maintain
a minimum 2.8 grade-point
average in the classroom.
Baker and the Williston
quarterback club officers
at the banquet used a very
effective technique for the
returning Champion Club
team members.
p The athletes that have
maintained their 2.8 grade
point average the last nine
weeks were fed a very large
Steak diner, with all the
trimmings. Those who had
slipped below the required
2.8 grade point average in
the past nine weeks dined

The coaching staff is also trying to get more students out for the football team this spring.
It is very hard for a school the size of Williston to compete year in and year out against
the Dunnellons, North Marions, Santa Fes, and West Ports.
I have watched firsthand for the last threeseasons as Williston will show up with 23 or 25
players and look across the field at the opponents' 45 to 50 players.

Those Mighty Middle School Lady Red Devils are
Champions Again
BY ANGEL FLOYD
FOR THE JOURNAL
I doubt if when the Atlas Map Company prints a new map, the City of Williston will
have larger type or an asterisk that says "Home of the Mighty Lady Middle School Red
Devils," but it should.
The Lady Middle School Red Devils have simply dominated North Central Florida
middle school sports for the last four years.
Each of the last four years the Middle School Lady Red Devils have reloaded with
talented and athletic young ladies to dominate the middle school sports scene.
The Williston Middle School Lady Red Devils just won their fourth straight SMAC
basketball championship. This comes on the heels of their fourth straight volleyball
championship won earlier in the school year.
These young ladies not only excel on the fields and courts in sports, but most are also
honor roll students in the classroom.
Last season, the Williston Middle School Lady Red Devils swept the volleyball
championship going undefeated. They went on to post a 14-0 record in basketball,
taking this championship also. To top that accomplishment, last year's team of unbeaten
volleyball and basketball Lady Red Devils went on to go undefeated in softball, scoring
a season total of 227 runs to just 17 runs for their opponents. This group of middle school
ladies made Williston Middle School history while going undefeated in all three sports.
After graduating a host of eighth graders sending them to Williston High School to
continue their athletic and academic dominance, there were some questions facing this
year's Middle School Lady Red Devils teams.
This year's Middle School Lady Red Devils have responded, taking the SMAC
volleyball championship, and now the SMAC Basketball Championship.
I know they will continue their winning streak as the softball season approaches.
I know I would certainly not count these young ladies out in any sport this season.
In the SMAC championship tournament played in Lake Butler the Williston Middle
School Lady basketball team were able to make their free throws in the closing minutes
of a close and exciting championship game against the Lake Butler Middle School Lady
Bulldogs.
With the score'tied 6-6 after the first quarter and 12-12 at Quality Health Car
the half, Ericka Floyd and Cinnamon Robinson took over
the game for the Middle School Lady Red Devils.
Going into the second half of the game, Floyd followed
her missed three-point basket to the rim and grabbed her own rebound and but the ball
back up and in for the basket.
Then it was Cinnamon Robinson hitting two baskets in a row putting the Middle School
Lady Red Devils up 18-16.
Trailing late in the fourth quarter, the Lake Butler team was forced to foul, and the
Middle School Lady Red Devils made four straight free throws to seal the win 24-20'and
another SMAC Championship.
Robinson finished the game leading all players with 11 points.
Williston Middle School Boys Win SMAC Championship
The Williston Middle School boys moved into the championship game after downing
Chiefland Middle School.
The middle school boys were matched against a very good Bradford Middle School boy's
team.
The Williston Middle School boys took a hard-fought 15-10 lead at the end of the first half
of play.
As the third quarter started the middle school boys from Williston blew the game wide
open as they outscored the Bradford boys 16-4, taking a 31-14 lead into the fourth quarter of
the championship game.
Behind the 15-point performance by Red Devil Detereon Ross, the Williston Middle
School boy's went on to win the game 38-22 claiming the SMAC Championship.
Congratulations to both the Williston Middle School Ladies' and Boys' teams.

LEVY COUNTY JOURNAL
Red Devils Win After Cold Shooting and
Great Comeback
BY STEVE JARBOE
SPORTS EDITOR
The Williston Red Devils varsity basketball team faced
the Dixie County Bears Thursday evening in Cross City.
This was the last regular season district game for the Red
Devils.
The Red Devils team was there, but the Red Devils' fans
were extremely scarce. What a disappointment for the team
and a lack of team support.
In fact, I was the only reporter from Levy County at the
game.
There was just a small handful of fans from Williston,
mostly parents and relatives of the players, hardly any
students and no Williston cheerleaders to support the Red
Devils.
Maybe the fact that the Red Devils had already locked up
a first-round bye for the district play-offs had something to
do with the extremely small crowd of Red Devil supporters.
Well, you missed one of the best comeback games played
this season by any team in the area.
In a district that has four teams with the talent to go all the
way, the Red Devils proved why they are one of these four
teams.
Both teams came out shooting cold and both teams were
playing tough on defense. Neither team could pull ahead by
more than three points in the entire first half of a low-scoring
game.
The teams were tied at 17-17 as the first half came to an
end in this cold shooting defensive game.
As the teams took the floor to start the third quarter, the
Red Devils' offense came alive in the first three minutes of
the quarter to take a 29-21 lead.
This is when the Bears called a timeout and the lid
seemed to go on the basket for the Red Devils.
The Bears picked up
their play and ran off 14
unanswered points in the
final five minutes of the third
quarter. The Bears took a
35-29 lead into the fourth

It was Welch again with a driving, spinning lay-up to give

remaining.
Isaac Floyd then gave the Red Devils a little cushion with
a tap in with 1:03 left in the game to make the score 44-40.
The Red Devils intercepted a pass and CJ James was
fouled with 30 seconds remaining in the game.
James sank two free throws to give the Red Devils a 46-40
lead.
After a timeout, the Bears went right down to score to pull
to within four points.
The Red Devils took the ball out of bounds and Welch
dribbled out the last five seconds of the game.
This was what I call an old-fashioned barn-burner game,
with great play from both teams.
CJ James led the Red Devils in a balanced scoring attack
with 12 points. Isaac Floyd had 10 points, Deonte Welch had
8 points, and Kelcey Coleman added 7 points.

Indians Show Good Form, But Lose to Newberry
BY DAVIDLEACH
FOR THE JOURNAL
The Chiefland Indians varsity basketball team had a new
attitude. They were all business but just could not overcome a
strong Newberry team. They were one point behind at the half.
Turnovers hurt them in a low-scoring third period. They rallied
and rallied but just could not get the lead.
From the warm-up, the Indians seemed to be all work.
The pre-game warm-up was missing the customary banter.
Eyes were focused on the game at hand. There was a sense of
purpose.
Sure enough, the Indians came out strong. Cantrell
Richardson and Eugene Carter combined to give them an
eight-point lead after the first period.
Then the Panthers started to erode their lead. Xavier Woods
led the Panthers with 14 points but his domination in the
transition game was more important. He seemed to always be
in the right place at the right time. When he was not exactly in
the right place, his leaping ability and body control in the air
won a lot of challenges.
The Panthers had three other players in double figures:
Antwon Ivey had 11 points, Ryan Brown had 10 points and
Antonio Brown had 10 points.
Cantrell Richardson led all scorers for the Chiefland Indians.
He played an outstanding game with 25 points. He sank two
three-pointers in a row to keep the Indians close at the end
of the first half. He was everywhere on defense and offense.
He spurred his team on at every opportunity. He had the best
success of any Indian against Xavier Woods in the middle.

Again like our weather has been, the Bronson Eagles went
cold from the floor and the Oak Hall Eagles came back on
some very nice set plays to tie the game at 22-22.

Bronson MS Ladies Fall To Oak Hall MS
In the first of four games played at the Bronson gym, the Bronson middle school Lady_
Eagles put forth a good effort and fought hard as they played the Oak Hall middle school
Lady Eagles.
Oak Hall's Taylor Tomaulison proved to be too much for the Bronsonmiddle school Lady
Eagles as she led her Oak Hall team in scoring with eight points.

coming shot after shot.
The Bronson junior varsity held a 25-24 lead at the half, after holding a 14-8 lead at the

team could make a comeback, and this is just what happened.
The Bronson junior varsity Eagles were leading 40-34 at the end of the third quarter, and

faced the Dunnellon Tigers.
The Tigers came into the game roaring from the start

zone defense.

down fourth quarter to take a 65-59 win over the Tigers.

Red Devils Win
Easily over New
Indians Team
BY KATELYN GUINSLER
FOR THE JOURNAL
After the Ft. White Indians had five players from
their varsity basketball team suspended from playing in
the game due to problems at the school, they were no
match for the Williston Red Devils.
The Red Devils after a slow start and sluggish
playing began to pull away from the Indians who
remained a step behind the Red Devils.
With the game tied at 10-10, the Red Devils ran off
12 straight points and never looked back.
The Red Devils continued to dominate the floor on
both offense and defense with blocked shots, steals and
fast breaks resulting in made.baskets.
As the game continued in the second half, the
Indians seemed to run out of energy as the Red Devils
pulled ahead by 25 points midway through the third
quarter.
Ft. White Indians Alex Gilmer and Thomas Barnes
each had 8 points in a losing effort.
For the Red Devils, Isaac Floyd led the team with
11 points, while CJ James and Paul King had 10 points
each.

Survey: Mothers View Cleaning Homes And Toys As Essential To
Preventing Colds And Flu
According to a recent survey, protecting youngsters against the cold and flu may,
quite literally, be child's play.
That's because keeping your home clean-especially items that children touch and
play with-can help minimize their exposure to germs.
The Alliance for Consumer Education's (ACE) second nationwide Germ Study
examined mothers' overall awareness of how germs that cause colds and flu are
spread.
It then assessed their views as to the most effective means of preventing and/or
containing colds and flu.
Survey results include:

ATM
SAFETY TIPS
SHERIFF
JOHNNY SMITH
y It is that time of
0 the year again that
ii we all frequently start
using those automated
teller machines on a
regular basis. The
fact is that using an
ATM is a crime of
low probability if
you use these tips. It
seems that due to heightened user awareness and prevention
applications, ATM crime incidents are way down. Let's
continue this downward trend by discussing those safety
measures.
Criminals carefully select and target their victims by
focusing on those who are not aware of their surroundings
and who are unprepared. Walking with purpose and
confidence gives the appearance that you are totally aware
of your surroundings and environment, and criminals tend to
avoid people who have this demeanor.
Here are some other things you may want to consider
when using an ATM:
Never use an ATM machine that is not well-lit.
Use an ATM machine that you can drive through
versus one that requires you to get out of your car. If
you use a drive-through ATM you should have all your
doors to your vehicle locked. Pull up to the drive-
through ATM machine and keep your vehicle in drive
just in case you have to exit quickly. Do not allow
any room between your vehicle and the ATM machine
for a person to walk up on the driver's side. When
waiting for your transaction to be completed, look in
your mirrors for any suspicious activity.
Do not use an ATM if you see a suspicious person
or vehicle in the parking lot. Drive away and use
another ATM and report the suspicious activity to law
enforcement.
Maintain an awareness of your surroundings
throughout the entire transaction. Do not become so
involved with your transaction that you are not aware
of changing conditions around you.
Do not wear expensive jewelry or take other valuables
to the ATM. This is an added incentive to an assailant.
Be aware of anyone sitting in a parked car in close
proximity to or at a distance from the ATM location.
When leaving an ATM location, make sure you are not
being followed. If you are being followed, call 9-1-1
and drive immediately to a police, sheriff or fire station
or crowded area. Flash your lights and sound your
horn to bring attention to your situation.
If you are involved in a confrontation and the attacker
is armed with a weapon and demands your money or
valuables, COMPLY
No amount of money or valuables is worth risking your
life.
ATM crimes are crimes of opportunity and will continue
as long as the criminals continue to invade our society.
These tips will lower your risk of being a victim. Change
those old habits and make yourself an undesirable target.

Drinking water notification
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
Otter Creek Has Levels of Disinfection Byproducts Above Drinking Water Standards
Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is
not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened,
what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation.
We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Testing
results we received on November 13, 2007 show that our system exceeds
the standards, or maximum contaminant levels, (MCL), for Disinfection
Byproducts (DBPs), which includes both Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs), and
Total HaloaceticAcids (HAA5). The standard for TTHMs is 80 micrograms per
liter (pg/L) and the average of TTHMs over the last year was 173.2 pg/L. The
standard for HAA5s is 60 pg/L, the average level of HAA5s over the last year
was 90.2 pg/L.
What should I do?
Some people who drink water containing TTHMs in excess of the MCL
over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central
nervous system, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
Some people who drink water containing HAA5s in excess of the MCL over
many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
Any customers who are concerned about their exposure to DBPs may
choose alternative sources of water for ingestion.
What does this mean?
This is not an immediate risk. If it had been, you would have been notified
immediately.
What is being done?
This is what we are doing to lower our DBPs levels: We are working
with engineers from FRWA (Florida Rural Water Association). At their
recommendation we have started adding sodium permanganate to remove
organic carbons which cause TTHMs. We have also increased our flushing
schedule. We will sample again on the 8th of February and will submit these
results to the Department as required.
We anticipate resolving the problem within this time frame: We expect to see
a reduction in DBPs in next testing and to ultimately come within the required
standards within the next few quarters.
For more information please contact the Town of Otter Creek at 352-486-4766
or 352-328-6411 or P.O. Box 65, Otter Creek, Fl 32683-0065.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water,
especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example,
people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do
this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or
mail.

13th Annual Pee Wee Mercer Bull-Riding Benefit
BY KELLIE PARKIN
STAFF WRITER
Bull-rider JAke McIntyre of Zolfo Springs took home
$2,000 in prize money as approximately 1,500 spectators
enjoyed the festivities Saturday night at the 13th annual Pee
Wee Mercer Bull-Riding Benefit at the Williston Horseman's
Park Arena.
"It's a very important event, with a very good name
attached to it," said McIntyre.
Williston resident Pee Wee Mercer was paralyzed from
the neck down in a bull-riding accident in November 1995.
Long-time friend Levi Kuhn has been organizing this event
since its inception. Each year the benefit raises approximately
$15,000 to $20,000 for Pee Wee, Kuhn said.
McIntyre and fellow-rider BJ Carter described bull-
riding as a brotherhood. "It's not like any other sport. Its
camaraderie -we take care of each other," Carter said.
The bulls were tough on the 25 riders that participated,
eliminating 17 who were unable to ride the necessary eight
seconds to receive a score.
With the luck of the draw the youngest rider, fifteen-year-
old Austin Clay of Sarasota, was paired with One Down
- a ferocious one-homed bull who after losing his rider in
six seconds proceeded to chase the horses, the clowns and
everyone else still in the arena. It was only when Hollywood
the Clown began singing "I want my baby-back ribs" that One
Down ran to the bullpen.
Qualifying for the championship round, McIntyre and'
Carter were joined by DJ Beal, Travis Haisley, Rob Platt,
Caleb Sanderson and Jason Wade.
The judges ruled that Wade was fouled by the gate coming
out of.the shoot, allowing for another turn on the same bull.
He received a score of 86, with a point total of 161, finishing
second place. Caleb Sanderson was in a close third with 160
points total. First place Jake McIntyre finished the night with
164 points.
"I believe Jake was riding in the womb," Carter said of his
friend. McIntyre stated that he began riding bulls 17 years
ago at the age often.
According to Doug Walker, owner of Diamond W
Rodeo in Sarasota, a bull rider's score is calculated by two
judges. Each judge grades up to 25 points for the intensity
of the bull, rapidity of turning, bucking height, and overall
difficulty. Another possible 25 points per judge is based
on the rider's form and ability to control the bull. Extra
points may be awarded if the rider creates more bucking
by spurring the bull.
In addition to bull riding, the event included a live
auction and a calf scramble. A fifty/fifty raffle sent one
lucky attendee home with $376. Ward's Electronics of
Williston donated two TVs, valued at approximately $700
each, that were also given away.
"We're always looking for sponsors," said Levi Kuhn.
Anyone interested in this event may contact Kuhn at (321)
443-6180 for more information.

Chiefland Chamber Hosts Amanda
Douglas at Monthly Meeting
BY STACEY LYNN BROWN
STAFF WRITER
The Chiefland Chamber of Commerce held their monthly
meeting on Fri., Jan. 25 and welcomed Amanda Douglas,
the new director of the Nature Coast Business Development
Council. She explained that she is analyzing what type of
businesses that Levy County wants and needs, so the Council
may recruit and make accommodations for such businesses.
She stated that while residential growth is steady in Levy
County, the infrastructure of supporting businesses needs to
keep pace, and it doesn't seem to be at this time. She stated
that she is analyzing the employment rate, how far people are
willing to commute to work, and other factors that weigh into
bringing new business to Levy County.
The Chamber also held a ribbon-cutting for the Seventh
Heaven Day Spa & Salon and welcomes them to the Chamber.
