Bottom: Studs that will hold the pumps in place extend from the ground. ; -- - By JAMES REDMOND Times Staff Writer At their Jan. 11I meeting, Lake Butler city commissioners reviewed an ordinance that would regulate adult-oriented businesses in the city. The city does not currently have an ordinance in place to regulate such businesses. "Our current Land Development Regulations (LDR) do not address these activities directly," said City Manager Richard Tillis. The proposed ordinance is patterned after an ordinance recently adopted by the City of Alachua'r-- The ordinance restricts adult-oriented businesses to property zoned commercial intensive. Only one property in the city falls into that category. A parcel of land located at SR- 121 and SR-100 is the only property that would be able to meet the ordinance's strict regulations. Ordinance 05-01 would change the definitions of the city's LDRs to limit where an adult-oriented business could be established. The changes would include the way churches, schools and general- media stores are defined. The ordinance would also add language to define such activities as massage, sexual conduct and sexual gratification. The measure also limits the proximity of an adult-oriented See LIMIT, p. 4A DedienonMna eor ulctin*3646-21(hneadfx E-mail editr cbctlegrah~co Page2A UNION COUNTY TIMES Jan. 13, 2005 NEEDS Continued from p. 1A said. He then asked the legislators if they had any Comment on the subject. "While we'%e made a good first step. we've got a long way to go," said Jennings. "It's definitely a work in progress." "For the last several years I have been concerned we're trying to do too many things at once before we do anything well," said Smith. Smith said he thought class size reduction was a mistake. "Not because I was aganist class size. but because I thought the bigger needs of a place like (Union County) was teacher salary." said Smith. Smith said the state's constitutional process has spread the state thin. "It has led us to do more and more things and we're not doing them well," Smith said. Griffis' next item dealt with promoting third-and-12th grade students for just this school year. "Would the legislature consider letting local school districts promote third-grade, students and seniors for one year instead of it being dictated by FCAT scores?" Griffis asked. Griffis received no response to his question. Many counties that were hit hard by last year's hurricanes are asking the legislature for the same considerations. Currently third and 12h-grade students must pass the FCAT before they can be promoted. Union County lost eight days due to hurricanes Frances and Jeanne. Lawmakers have agreed to move the test back by one week. Griffis' last item involved funding. "We would like to see more funding in the area of transportation, said Griffis. Griffis said rising fuel and steel costs have really hurt the school district. Union County County Commission Chairman Wayne Smith spoke on behalf of Union County. Smith thanked legislators for the $200,000 the county received for renovations to the King building. The building currently houses the offices of the State'i Attorney, Board of County Commissioners and the county extension office. Smith's first item addressed the Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) that was set up- in Lake Butler in 1995. The CRA runs along the length of Main Street through the city. The CRA froze the amount of advalorem taxes the county could collect from the area. The freeze only allows the -Subscription Ra $26.00 per year $13.00 six month Outside Trade A $13.00 six month county to colIlect what advalorem taxes were in place in 1995." think there should be a time limitation on that," said Smith. Smith was informed that a 40-year time limit is currently in place. Smith's next subject was Medicaid payments the county budgets each year. "It's like looking into a crystal ball, you don't know what to budget." said Smith. Smith urged, legislators to revisit the issue this legislative session. Last year the legislature took up the issue, but no revisions were made. The county has budgeted $110,000 this fiscal year for the payments. "Hop'efully that's going to cover it." Smith said. "We have talked about some Medicaid reform, but it will be two to three years down the road," said Bean. "(The state) is wrestling with 14-to-20) percent increases every year." Smith next brought up the county's grant application for two new ambulances. "We bought one new truck because we had no choice," said Smith. Senator Smith said his office had already put the grant on fast track motion to be approved. The last item Commissioner Smith presented was the fact the state had agreed to help the county with a 10 percent match the county must provide for FEMA funding for recent hurricane damage. "We would just like for you to make sure that goes through," said Smith.. Both Bean and Senator Smith agreed to see that it did. In his' closing remarks, Commissioner Smith said the county had received help every year from the state for the courthouse. "We need some more money in the general fund," Smith said. He also said the rising cost of elections was another area the county could use help in. Union County Public Library Library Director Mary Brown educated legislators on exactly how the county library is funded. "We are in a very unique situation in this county." said Brown. Brown explained how the county collects one half millage of- property tax to fund the library. That millage must be approved every two years by voters for it to continue. Brpwn also" asked legislatures to support the grant application the county will be submitting in March. "Our current facility is well below state library standards," said Brown. "For us to remain an active, vital part of this community we have to get bigger."

"Currently the federal government does not allow the intermingling ot funds," said . York. If the county has a hazard mitigation project it is working on. and another disaster destroys it, the county can not use those funds to start it over, "No one ever imagined we would be hit with four hurricanes," said Senator Smith. Smith said lie thinks there will be a little more flexibility to those regulations in the upcoming months. "I think you will get some relief on that," said Smith.

Design your future with LCCC By FRAN ROSSI :LCCC Visual Arts Professor In projections by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for 2000-2010, eight of the 10 fastest growing occupations are in the computer and technology fields.

A new year, a new outlook, Elections supervisors want to capitalize on early voting By MARK J. CRAWFORD Telegraph Staff Writer LIMIT Continued from p. 1A btisiness to a 1 church or school. Ilhe ordinance does not allow ;in\ adult-oriented business within 500 feet of a church. house of worship, public park. playground, day care center. existing residences and residentially zoned districts. The law also regulates how a store could be operated. A businesses must have frosted or opaque windows, a sign on the front door prohibiting minors and sexually explicit media could not be displayed publicly. Sexually oriented cabarets or dance halls would have to follow the same regulations as those of any adult-oriented business, but the ordinance places other restrictions on The state association for Florida's elections supervisors is asking for legislative support in changing the way elections are conducted in the state. Bradford County Supervisor of Elections Terry Vaughan, president-elect of the state association, said elections supervisors like himself are eager to capitalize on the success of last year's early voting opportunities. "The success was so dramatic, we felt we needed to look at ways to improve and( expand upon that concept." said Vaughan, who recorded a round 2,500 votes during the early voting period last year. State elections supervisors are proposing in concept, with details to be fleshed out later, a. permanent early voting period, perhaps as long as two weeks, leading right up to Election Day. As part of the proposal, elections supervisors are suggesting that traditional voting precincts be replaced with voting centers. The result could be a smoother election process as well as one that improves voter turnout. "We all realize in Florida now that we've got to expand on the early voting success. We can't remain status quo," Vaughan said. The voting centers would be fewer in number than the precincts voters now report to, but, as currently envisioned, would also be less restrictive. Registered voters could potentially be allowed the convenience of voting in any one of a county's multiple voting centers, regardless of their voting districts. Larger counties would of course have more centers, but Vaughan sees four or five such centers serving the needs of Bradford's citizens. The concept is not a completely experimental one. .a new sponsor and a new opportunity for students -interested.-in having- a-.good time, while providing a variety of" important s services to the community in which they live. This is a great chance to earn community service hours through volunteer work with the library and other community organizations. JFOL is open to students in ninth through 12"h-grades who meet minimal academic eligibility requirements and are interested in being actively involved in an important, service minded organization. Any eligible students can come to an organizational meeting on Thursday, Jan. 27 between 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the Union County Public Library. The meeting will discuss the purpose behind of JFOL as well as the members and sponsors hope and expectations for the future of JFOL School coalition sets meeting Please be advised that" the Gateway School -Readiness Coalition, Inc. Board Meeting will be held on Thursday, Jan. 13, at 9 a.m. and a Quality Committee Meeting immediately following at the Gateway School Readiness Coalition, 484 SW Commerce Dr., Suite 140 in Lake City. The coalition oversees the Vaughan said that in Larimer County, Colorado, the elections supervisor went from 143 precincts to between 30 and 40 voting centers. "The voters there just really loved it. They had a 93 percent turnout in the general election last year." Vaughan said. The connectivity available through modern technology would allow each center to stay current on who has and hasn't voted, preventing someone from trying to vote at multiple centers. Vaughan said. Provisional ballots, offered to voters whose names don't appear on an official register of voters often because they've shown up at the wrong precinct, would he less of a concern. Instead. each center would have ballots available for each county, state and congressional district. Here, again, technology in the form of electronic voter identification can be integrated into the process. By swiping one's driver's license through a card reader, a voter can be identified as registered and receive a copy of the correct ballot after signing a printed affidavit. "They've got it down where the process takes less than 20 seconds to process a voter, and eventually I think its going to end up coming with a signature pad and other things that will speed up the process even more," Vaughan said, adding .that the system worked beautifully in hurricane-ravaged counties like Charlotte and Hardy where new precincts had to be set up. With fewer voting centers compared to precincts, there would also be a reduction in staffing. Vaughan, who currently has more than 100 volunteers, said he would need just 30 dedicated volunteers to take on the extended hours that come with an extended voting period. One of the huge pluses, Vaughan said, is the cost savings the county will realize state and federal funding for all school readiness programs,ir'th to age five for Columbia, Hamilton, Lafayette, Suwannee and Union counties. Community participation is encouraged and input is welcome. If any persons) interested in attending this meeting has a disability requiring special assistance, contact Heidi Moore at 386-752-9770. Notice has been made of this meeting through publication, to cover the "Government in the Sunshine" Law. like the concept ot having the ability to cast a ballot early." Vaughan said. The association's legislative agenda also includes encouraging the state to permanently repeal the second primary, increasing the required distance for poll solicitation and allowing write-in candidates to appear on universal primary ballots. Reach Mark Crawford at gov@bctelegraph.com or 904- 964-6305. Union supervisor not so sure by not having to bring a nuinber of current precincts tip to compliance with the American with Disabilities Act, a requirement of the Help America Vote Act. Bradford's 20 precincts (in 17 locations) would be narrowed to four or five voting centers that both cover the expanse of the county and best meet the needs of able and disabled voters. "If I can go out and handpick four to five voting centers and only have to worry about ADA compliance in those four to five locations, it's going to be so much less expensive for the county," Vaughan said. Traditional precinct boundaries can be maintained for political parties who elect precinct committees and for candidates who monitor statistical data on voters from those precincts, he said. "Basically it will change, from the candidates' perspective, how they target voters because the voting period starts so much earlier than it did in the past. Really that happened this year in that we had 11 days of early voting." If there is a disadvantage to the proposal, Vaughan said it would be finding an equitable way of locating voting centers throughout the county. "Some people who may now have a precinct within a mile or two of their house may have to. actually go a little farther, but they have a longer time period to vote, and they don't have to go to a singular location." The state legislature would have to approve the changes proposed by the Florida State Association of Supervisors of Elections, and that could be a hard sell given the legislature's resistance to change. Vaughan, who can be reached at 904-966- 6266 or through the Web site www.bradfordelections.com, said the point of publicizing the proposal now is to receive feedback from the public. "I think the voters have spoken in that they definitely I I pay loi the voting machines. they are not paying for the other requirements that went along with them," said Montpetit. Montpetit said she would be in favor of such changes if the state would mandate funding for them. Montpetit is in favor of early voting. During the 2004 election 384 Union County residents took advantage of the opportunity. "It's basically voting the same as if you were voting absentee." said Montpetit. Montpetit is not in favor of voting centers. Montpetit said she feels the II voting precincts the county currently has is adequate to the county's needs. "All our polling places are up-to-date with ADA regulations. Many of the county's polling places serve a dual purpose. Several serve as community centers such as those in Raiford, Lake Butler and Worthington Springs. The county has little to no cost in the maintenance of these facilities.

"We're already paying four times what we used to for elections," said Montpetit. Montpetit said the county saved money using papers ballots. "It's more cost effective for this county to hand count ballots than to count them by machine," said Montpetit. The rise in cost in the election process can be attributed to several factors. Hand counted ballots cost the county approximately $500. The ballots used to count votes by machine cost the county more than $2,500. The county is also required to have personnel from the manufacturer of the voting machines in place during an election. For three days, it amounts to more than $10,000 for that service. Montpetit said she fears the state will hand down these changes without the money to fund them. "While the state did ... ~~..;,. J. Jan. 13, 2005 UNION COUNTY TIMES Page 5A Now is the time to control broad-leaved weeds By JACQUE BREMAN UC Extension Director Weeds such as burning nettle, wild radish, and thistle are in a stage of growth that is optimum to control with an herbicide labeled for pasture broad-leaved weed control. Rye fields with wild radish weed problems can benefit from a combination treatment of a liquid nitrogen top- dressing in which a labeled herbicide is included. Burning nettle needs to be controlled now before seed form. Burning nettle seems to be more of a problem weed around cattle feeding areas and handling facilities. Some wetter pastures have a heavy burning nettle weed problem and would benefit from an herbicide treatment. Thistles are beginning to grow out of the rosette state and should be treated now (when they can be controlled with an herbicide), before the flower stalk elongates. There are too many herbicide options to review in this article, especially with label restrictions for pasture, hayfield and winter annuals.

"If it helps one other child. then it's been worth it," Flod said. The trial ended Jan. 5 with the jury finding for Floyd. The DCF attorneN could not be reached for comment prior to press time Tuesday and Floyd said he was uncertain if DCF plans to appeal the decision or not. The civil lawsuit was first filed by Floyd in 1997 and was thrown out once before Floyd's attorneys brought iI back into the court system. Ciara Floyd was three and living with her mother in 199( -when her mother's boyfriend Larry Christopher Noegel physically injured her to the point that she died. Noegel Is currently serving 30 )ears in prison after being cons icted of the crime.. At the center of Floyd's ' lawsuit was his claim that DCF should have taken more decisive action on two complaints that his daughter was being mistreated both Sof which %were lodged by Floyd prior to the child's death. Neither complaint was lodged against Ciara's mother, who was given primary residency for the child. Floyd and the mother shared custody. The first complaint was lodged in January of 1996 against another relative and. in that instance, health officials ruled that what looked like cigarette burns were actuaIlly the result of the childhood -disease impetigo. The second complaint was lodged against Noegel in June of 1996. DCF investigated but took no action because doctors could not sax for certain that bruises on. the child's body were the result of abuse. Floyd said the bruises and the child's sudden reluctance o.. ogo-home to her mother a reluctance that had never been present prior to that time - .caused him to take her to the doctor and tell a hospital social worker that he thought Noegel was to blame. The social worker called in DCF based on his statement. Floyd said he made the statement at the time based on knowledge that Noegel was arrested for domestic violence at an earlier time. In Jul\ of 1996. Ciara Floyd was admitted to the hospital with severe injuries and later died. Noegel was arrested. tried and cons icted for causing her death. After Ciara died, Flod went Sto the Union County Sheriff's Office and asked for all records on Noegel. One record he was given was a December 1995 sworn complaint against Noegel for child abuse The victim in that complaint was the young son of a pre\ ious girlfriend. The complaint w.as still being processed b- the state au .rne) 's office when Ciara died. Floyd claimed this sworn complaint and the prior arrest for domestic n olence should have been enough for DCF to take action to protect Ciara. He said he did not necessarily want Ciara removed from her 204M CURY I SABEm M 'Stk#L5074A1"-"Stk#P1861 $15,095* or 6% for 60 mos. w.a.c. $9 995* 6.5% w.a.c. for 60 mos. 2002 FO] TAURUS V 2003 VW~ WL4 .........-: ...9.u.,.:.,~... mmlamlftb 1, I Page 2B TELEGRAPH, TIMES & MONITOR--B-SECTION Jan. 13, 2005 CRIME: Deputies net 116 grams of cocaine A 37-year-old Keystone Heights woman was arrested in Putnam County last week for drug trafficking.

The jury, in deciding in favor of Floyd's suit, apparently, felt DCF should have done more to protect the child. Floyd said he would urge parents or grandparents who disagree with actions taken by DCF or who disagree with DCF's failure to take action -- to go to an attorney or law enforcement. "Take care of those kids," he said. "If.you feel DCF is not doing the job, follow up on, things yourself. I did what I thought I was supposed to do (in leaving it in DCF's hands).

I also encourage my students to audition for professional teams, especially The Roar. Not only have I continued to dance, but I picked up a new hobby. For the last two years I have been professionally deejaying for DeLand Entertainment. My husband Chip and I deejay at weddings and special parties. This is a great way for my husband and I to spend quality time together, although we are working, we are also having fun. I have also continued to volunteer for Mrs. Weaver's Jaguar.,Honor Row Foundation through the Alumnae Roar Association.

In service Navy Seaman Recruit Kennieth C. Alexander, son of Deborah L. Ellsworth of Lake Butler and Robert L. Alexander of Lake City, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Alexander completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, fire fighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Stations". This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. "Battle Stations" is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly "Navy" flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a sailor.

Presumably that's why he teaches the subject, but Tinsler would also like to see his students become more excited about science. Other teachers, at BMS and at other schools in Bradford County share Tinsler's sentiment and that's why students at BMS, Lawtey Community School and Southside and Starke elementary schools participated in something new this year-a countywide science fair, which was held Tuesday at .the Bradford County fairgrounds. "John and-I have talked about it for a couple of years," said LCS teacher Cindy Combs. "He just kind of brought it to fruition this year." More than .170 projects-including those done by some home-schooled students-were set up at the fairgrounds. The projects varied, from comparing different brands of batteries to testing whether or not vitamins increase a person's appetite, from testing whether or not temperature affects how high a tennis ball can bounce to testing whether different types .of music affect plant growth. Some students put their building and design skills to use-Maxon Johnson and Ryan Redding each built a trebuchet (medieval catapult) and Trey Shannahan built a working hovercraft. Judges looked at the projects Tuesday morning, while students, parents and other members of the community were able to view them that afternoon and evening. The set-up at the fairgrounds came about after a meeting in August between Combs, Tinsler and eight other teachers-Robert Bell (BMS), Roger -Chilson (BMS), Anna Kirley (BMS), Eric Verunac (BMS), Julia Ripplinger (SSE), Susan Ames (SE), Pam Bryant (SE) and Frances' Stabler (SE). The subject of' the meeting? How to get students more excited about doing science projects. Each school has typically held its own inclusive science fair on campus. Tinsler said he thinks students will view the science fair as a bigger deal if they are competing with students throughout the county. "The other teachers felt that way, too," Tinsler said. "The other teachers felt like, 'Let's beef this up. Let's get some excitement going again.'" Added to that excitement is an awards ceremony, which will be held Thursday, Jan. 13, at the Bradford High School auditorium at 7 p.m. Every student who participated in the science fair will be recognized and given a ribbon during the awards ceremony, Tinsler said. That will precede the announcement of the category winners. "We're hoping that will also generate some interest as these children watch their peers get awarded and get some special recognition," Tinsler said. Though students have to at least be in middle school to advance to the regional science fair, the Bradford science fair included students from Starke 'Elementary School. That school held its own science fair and its winners displayed their projects at: the fairgrounds.

Jan. 13, 2005 TELEGRAPH,'TIMES & MONITOR--C-SECTION Page 3C Camp Blanding command passes to Nelson Two ceremonies to recognize major changes- of-command leadership at the Florida National Guard's premiere training center in north central Florida near Starke were held Sunday. The afternoon ceremonies at the Camp Blanding Joint Training Center recognized changes of command for Camp Blanding itself as well as the 211th Regiment Regional Training Institute (RTI), which is located on Camp Blanding. Col. David "Benny" Nelson, a St. Augustine resident with more than 25 years of military experience, assumed command of the Camp Blanding Joint Training Center Sunday. He assumed command of the training center from Col. William Petty, also a resident of St. Augustine, who has served in the Florida Guard for nearly 25 years. Col. Petty is newly assigned .to the Guard's Joint Directorate of Military Support responsible for coordination and response to the needs of the civilian community. Maj. Gen. Douglas Burnett, adjutant general of Florida, provided comments on Nelson's ability to lead soldiers in a combat zone and his extensive knowledge on training which make- him the obvious choice to help keep Camp Blanding a premiere training site to prepare soldiers and airmen for 21st century warfare. Petty's 10-month tenure included an outstanding safety record. Over that period, Camp Blanding logged 194,000 military training days and more than 36,000 training days for civilian organizations including law enforcement. "That's almost 231,000 training days supported without major. accident or injury ,," said Petty. The Camp Blanding Training Site is a training and conference facility available not only to support National Guard units, but groups from all branches of the military, law enforcement; state agencies, governmental agencies and nonprofit civilian organizations as well. This state- owned property consists of more than 72,000 acres with multiple training facilities including indoor/outdoor training, conference facilities, recreation areas, motel and food service. Upgrading of facilities and training areas continues to meet the training needs of the Florida National Guard and its partners - whether training is for military missions in the global war on terrorism at home and abroad or " enhancing normal peacetime skills. Col. Daniel Nievinski, a Jacksonville native with more than 20 years of military service * who was promoted prior to the command change, assumed command of the Regional Training Institute. Nievinski succeeds Nelson. Burnett promoted Nievinski and recognized' his extraordinary coordination and leadership skills for training soldiers to be officers and professionals. His experience with the inspector general's office, as administrative officer with the 83rd Troop Command in Tallahassee and numerous deployments, re- " deployments, and demobilizations, enhances his ability to oversee crucial programs and handle multiple tasks that will be needed in his new assignment. Nievinski addressed his new command with During a change of command ceremony, words of encouragement: "We have a huge adjutant general of Florida, passes the Ca responsibility, obligation and sense of the new commander, Col.

Southside Elementary teacher making a run at record By CLIFF SMELLEY Telegraph Staff Writer Bradford High School's track and field program has produced three state champions in the last three years. Could a 45-year-c champion be next? Al Solano, a Bradford Hi1 . School and Bradford Middle School assistant coach, has set his sights on competing in a couple of national indoor track and field meets this year, including the U.S:A. Track and Field (USATF) National Masters Indoor Clhiampionships (March 11-13) in Boise, Idaho. -' It is there where Solano, a teacher at Southside Elementary School, has his eyes set on setting a new world record in the 800 meters in the 45-49- year-old men's age division. "I've been working seriously for, about a year now," Solano said. "I think I can do it." The world record Solano is shooting for is 1:57.8. As of December, Solano was clocked at a time of 2:03, so he feels getting his time under two minutes won't be a problem. "I'm just confident I'm going to do it," he said. Solano was a competitive runner in high school and college and had competed in several 5K races over the last .several years. Running with the BMS and BHS cross country and track athletes sparked his interest in breaking the world record in the 800m. "As I 'started running .more seriously, I noticed my time, was getting better and faster," Solano said. "I started giving serious thought about setting new heights for m) self." , Solano asked fellow cross country/track and field coach Jon Alexander to put him' through a time trial, in whichhe was clocked at a time of 2:06. Solano said Alexander told him with a little training, he should be able to get his time under two minutes. That's how things started, approximately a year ago. Solano has been running 14, miles every day (seven in the morning, seven in the afternoon). His time has dropped and he feels it will do even more so when he takes part in a competitive race. "I've done 2:03 on the track without competition, so I feel with good competition I will definitely run under two minutes," he said. Solano first took up running. as a freshman in high school. He claimed a New Jersey high school state championship in the mile and later ran a personal-best 3:58 in the mile when he attended the University of' Tennessee. Solano also clocked a personal-best 13:58 in a 5K run at Tennessee. In 5K competitions over the last several years, Solano ran a course-record time of 15:44 in the' Ridgefield (N.J.)'Run Against Drugs and won His age division in the following races: the 2002 Paint the Towne Road Race in Daytona Beach, the Southside Elementary School teacher Al Solano runs at the Bradford High School S'track in hopes of preparing himself to break the world record in the 800m in his age division.

It's not just a chance to make a run .at a record and capture personal glory, but also a chance to help the young runners at BMS and BHS. After all, they are the ones who sparked the interest in Solano. "I'm hoping I learn a lot from this experience and then bring all that knowledge to the kids here in Bradford County schools," Solano said.

Keystone has now won four in a row and six of its last seven matches. All of the Indians' losses have come against bigger schools. "The plan was to play some very, very big, top-quality schools early on so we could prepare for the district season," Lloyd said. That plan is working "beautifully," Lloyd said, adding that the Indians are peaking at the right time. Lloyd said a key to the Indians' recent success, besides the output from Hapner, has been their ability to control the midfield with players such as Hayre and Tornwall. Another key is the team's steady defensive play. "Our defense, has always been strong and remains the anchor of the team," Lloyd said.

By JOHN WHITFIELD Contributing Outdoors Editor Deer season ends for most of us on Jan. 23. That's about 10 days out. We are about to transition from one season to the next. Thirty minutes after sundown on- that Sunday evening, some of us are done for the season. 'But, as there is indeed much work to be done in preparation for next year, there is, also a great deal of other hunting, fishing and outdoor enjoyment. ahead. One thing we can do immediately is to- study the habits of the deer, learn all we can and, hopefully, become a better hunter and sportsman. This may start with an understanding that the deer is a creature of the edge, where one border or perimeter changes to another. The transition creature The deer is truly a transitional creature. He moves along edges edges of woods, roads, trails, stands of trees, creeks, fields, crop lines, fence lines, fire breaks, you name it a deer can be sighted literally anywhere that there is a transition zone from one topographical area to another. He browses. He eases along, nipping this shrub and that long grass. He eats some acorns or. nuts and whenever he can find it, he adds a few grains of corn or anything he may come across, including your 'rose bush or shrubbery! By chance, if.' he encounters your garden or crops, he will probably try a little of whatever you are raising. Deer don't have pockets or they would haul it all off! He is always transitioning, whether feeding, walking, seeking a mate or fighting off a rival. Strategy If we are to successfully hunt this transitional 'creature, we need to be prepared to meet him on his own level. What is his level? Transition. One unexpected thing A few years ago, after spending nearly all of my deer hunting time just sitting, I decided to try a little different strategy. It came down to this - I try at least one unexpected thing each hunt. I try to mix something new or different in every time I get a chance. One example is I try to change the route I take to and from my stands. While doing this, I have encountered both deer and turkey in ; unusual places. A couple of times, I was easing along, rinot paying attention, and had a deer nearly run over me, scaring both of us half to death! I was somewhere I wasn't supposed to be and so was he. No, I didn't get a shot off, but I had a great story to tell. Sometimes on private property, I walk-hunt. This is literally "stalk hunting" through the woods. (A safety note here: Wear hunter's orange and respect all property lines. Safety first, always!)1 About 20 years ago, I got my first shot at a nice Georgia buck while I was stalk hunting. Yes, I missed. I was using a borrowed rifle with a much shorter barrel than I was accustomed to and I believe that I shot over the back-. Another lesson learned. So, by doing one unexpected thing, such as rerouting myself, or walking through the palmetto patch instead of around it, I have encountered game animals. Just doing something differently can change your luck. Stay alert A friend of mine took his teenage son hunting a few years ago. He told his son to hunt until a certain time in the morning, then get down and go back to the truck. He also told him that if he got too bored, just go on back to the truck and wait. Well, after a couple of hours sitting in the stand, the boy gave up, made his.way back to the truck, got in and promptly fell' asleep. A little while later, his dad came along, looked over, and there were two deer standing just a few feet from the truck! Were they watching the boy sleep? We will never know, but had that young fella stayed alert, he may have harvested a buck. Most of us have encountered deer at unexpected places, and sadly most of us were not ready to react. Staying alert in the woods is imperative, both from a safety standpoint and also a possible opportunity to harvest. Conclusion The deer: He moves when the weather changes, or when the moon waxes or wanes or darks out. He moves when he feeds, drinks and breeds. He hides, he is always alert and he can see; hear and smell better than you and me. But he is always in transition .and there, in the transition zone, is where we meet!

SCIENCE Continued from p. 2C to fill out questionnaires, taking note of what their favorite projects were, what attracted them to those projects and what kind of ideas they got from looking at those projects that would help them with their own projects. Combs said she likes the idea of getting the elementary students involved. "They need to get a taste of it," she said. Hopefully, early involvement will create an excitement in the students and make them want to do their best to try to advance to regionals and state when they're older, Combs said. While she would like to see the younger students get involved with the science fair, Combs said she would also like to see an older group of students become involved. "I would like to see the high school get involved," she said. "This is my third year in ,Bradford County and I have participated in the regional fair, but I have yet to see a high school student from Bradford County. That's, where the big prizes are, that's where the Southside Elementary fifth graders (from left) Tabresha Simmons, Chyna Lynum and Whitni Goodwin look over a science project and take notes for a class assignment. scholarships are at-the high school level." Tinsler said he hopes a countywide science fair can go a long way in creating more excitement in students about science projects".and helping students show well at the regional and state levels. This year's fair has already had an effect onh students and their families, he said. "I've seen in increase ifi the: interest and ,excitement level across the board." Tinsler said.
