By JAMES REDMOND Times Staff Writer A call that got firefighters out of bed early Saturday morning has been ruled arson by the Union County Sheriff's Office. Lawrence Scott Andrews, 34, of Lake Butler was arrested and charged with arson in the first degree. According to Captain Garry Seay of the Union County Sheriff's Office, just after 7 a.m. on Feb. 12, fire units from Union County, the city of Lake Butler, Providence, the city of Raiford and Columbia County responded to a house fire at 8617 S.W. CR-245 in Providence. The call came from the home's owner. The owner had spent the previous night at her mother's home and returned to take a shower before going to work. ,As she drove up to the house, she saw smoke coming from the master bedroom. As firefighters arrived on scene, they reported the fire had already breached the roof. .Four units were set up around the home to help firefighters attack the fire from different areas. It took" them more than an hour to bring the fire under control. An inspection of the remains of the building indicated the fire might have been intentionally set. Captain Seay and Fire Investigator Doug York, also from the Union County Sheriff's Office, were called in to investigate the suspicious fire. Once inside, ork determined that the f.re had -started in the master bedroom of the hone.- He furthered determined the fire had begun on top of the mattress. "The rapid burn pattern of the fire led me to believe the fire was started with a light petroleum based product," said York. He estimated total damage to the home was $200,000, making it a total loss.

Arbor Day celebrated in Lake Butler By JAMES REDMOND Times Staff Writer On Feb. I 1, the city of Lake Butler, the Florida Division of Forestry (DOF) an-d Lake Butler Middle School (LBMS) celebrated Arbor Day by planting trees in the area dit;ly.it front of Spires IGA.. City commissioners Lynn Bishop and Fletcher Myers, Mayor-Brantley Crawford and City Manager Richard Tillis along with representatives from the DOF joined students from LBMS to plant trees to commemorate the day. Holly Tucker's sixth grade students had the honor of digging the holes to plant. the trees. I DOF Ranger Jay Tucker told the students about the history of Arbor Day just before planting the trees. "Trees are every important part of our everyday lives," said Tucker. In all, 38 trees were planted during the day-long celebration. This is the third year of the event. Both the city and DOF hope to keep it an annual event. "If we run out of room here we'll find some more," said Tillis. The trees were planted along the same route that will soon be the city'sttrailway:path. The trail will run from Lake Butler to Palataka. The Florida division of Greenways and Trailways is sponsoring the project along with the city. Arbor Day began in the 1800s. J.

See ARBOR, p. 6A County seeks property for new library site By JAMES REDMOND Times Staff Writer On Feb. 10, the Union County Board of County Commissioners conducted a special meeting to consider buying property for a new library building. "Various properties have been viewed and the site across from the health department is the best site for it," said Chairman Wayne Smith. The property is located at the corner of SR-100 and N.W. 5th avenue. The site. has been appraised to be worth $175,000. The board is looking at two- ways to pay for the property. The first option would to be get a loan for the property and have the payments come out of the library's budget. "Making a loan payment from my funds is feasible through careful budgeting practices," said Union County Public Library Director Mary Brown. The second idea was to .pay for the property directly from See SITE, p. 5A Davis named Lake Butler Elementary Teacher of the Year By JAMES REDMOND Times Staff Writer Mary Anne Davis has a simple teaching philosophy-she seeks to instill a desire in her students to become life long learners. She demonstrates that philosophy in her classroom each day. "My philosophy of teaching is demonstrated in my classroom practices through my high expectations of my students," said Davis. "I continually challenge my students while supporting them in reaching their goals." Recently Davis was named Teacher of the Year at Lake Butler Elementary School. She was nominated and selected by her peers to be the outstanding teacher at LBES for the 2004- 2005 school year. Davis said she finds cooperative learning groups to be an effective tool as well. "They help to teach not only academics, but also develop moral character and caring relationships between students," said Davis. "It allows students the opportunity to see the value in themselves as well as others." Davis said the groups give students the opportunity to make a contribution to the learning environment. "-The- class thereby reflects the unique minds and talents of the students within in the class," said Davis. Davis cited LBES's writing instruction training has having a particularly profound effect. on her classroom. "Since incorporating this instruction, the school's average writing scores pave increased from 2.9 .to 4.0,' said Davis. Davis interweaves literacy into her instruction throughout the entire school day.' "Students begin the day. reading books they have. selected, said Davis. They are then put into small groups to discuss what they have read. During this time Davis models effective reading strategies with think aloud processes. "Students are given the opportunity to work in small- groups during this time," said Davis. For example, a group leader will read aloud and then ask questions about the meaning of certain words. This is followed by a short summary of the work and a prediction as to what will happen in the next portion of the text.

In his articles and editorials, Morton advocated tree planting. On Jan. 4. 1872, Morton proposed a tree planting holiday to be known as Arbor Day. On April 10, 1872, the first Arbor Day was held. It is estimated that more than one million trees were planted that first Arbor Day. Today Arbor Day is celebrated all over United .States and observed in many countries as well.

Davis incorporates literacy into her math lessons as well. "I provide vocabulary instruction using math terms to aid students in understanding the meaning of the question being asked," said Davis. Literacy is a large part of both science and social studies in Davis' class as well. "Students apply reading comprehension strategies to understand difficult, content. specific text," said Davis. When it comes to major public education issues, Davis feels testing and accountability are two major areas that need to be focused on. "As a fourth grade teacher, I feel the effects of the high stakes testing daily," said Davis. "I am often torn between preparing my students for the FCAT and instilling within them a love for learning." Davis sees the need for accountability, but feels balance is the key. "We need 'both formal assessments and alternative assessments," said ODavis. "'iJutts accountable, ,butgjxeusthe authority anrid .-res4ceOTto 'SVhat our professional judgement indicates." Davis has an appreciation for the. home-school connection as well. "Every Monday I take the extra time to send a-parent letter attached to samples of student work from the previous week," said Davis. The. letter include's announcements 'and reminders of upcoming events. The packet also includes an area for Davis to comment on each student's individual behavior. "I give tips and strategies for parents to help .their child at home," said -Davis. Davis' own education background includes an -associate of arts degree from Santa Fe Community College as well as a bachelor of arts in education .and master's of education from the University of Florida. She has also participated in various continuing education programs including behavioral and instructional techniques, ADHD/ADD training and Florida Reading Initiative training.

Section B: Thursday, Feb. 17, 2005 News from Bradford County, Union County and the Lake Region area Scam artists prey on hurricane victims Officials from Florida's State. Emergency Response Team (SERT) and the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) caution Floridians to be on the look out for scam artists pretending-to-be. employed by FEMA or other S government agencies, such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. One fraudulent scheme involves scam artists approaching homeowners and claiming to be with the Corps. They are requesting money up front to repair roofs and telling victims that their insurance money is coming soon. The Operation Blue Roof program managed by the Corps for FEMA to assist storm victims by installing plastic sheeting on damaged roofs ended on Nov. 12, 2004. "The Corps currently has personnel out measuring roofs to verify square footage on Tickets now available for Women of Distinction luncheon Tickets are available for the. 19th annual Alachua-Bradford County Women of Distinction luncheon, 11:30 a.m.-1:30 ,p.m. Tuesday, March 15, at the Tower Club at the Village, across the street from Santa Fe Community College's (SFCC) Northwest Campus.

Lane closing on US-301 The southbound outside lane on U.S. 301 will be closed for about three weeks (excluding weekends) to'allow work to progress at the site of the new Wal-Mart Supercenter. The lane closure will begin at 8. a.m. and end by 4 p.m. each clay, but these .times will be monitored by the Florida Department of Transportation. If traffic backups occur, the closure time could be changed 'to 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The lane closure will allow the trucks delivering fill dirt to the work site to be able to accelerate to a safe speed once they reenter U.S. 301. The length of the lane closure will be about one-quarter mile long.

"The best way to verify. authorized FEMA or Corps personnel is by checking their laminated photo identification card, which they are required to wear at all times. The Corps /" shirt and signs on vehicles are not sufficient proof." * Homeowners should insist on seeing proper identification when approached -by someone offering to perform repair work such as repairing roofs, repainting or making structural repairs. They should then require proof of operating licenses and proof of insurance.

She decided that just wasn't the career for her after all. It's :a good thing she found out before she invested time and noney into educational 'training. Another person worked with a dentist for a day and came away more convinced than 'ever that she ultimately wanted to go to dental school after leaving Bradford High. Helping students. make career decisions is the whole 'idea behind career shadowing, a program where high school juniors work with someone who already holds a job in the field in which the student is interested. More than 50 BHS students 'worked with area professionals last week. Normally carried out on Groundhog Day, Feb. 2, the career shadowing program has been expanded to Feb. 2-4 to accommifiodate scheduling conflicts. Each student works only one day in the shadowing program, however. Joy Newell said she really enjoyed her stint as a shadow for Dr. Michael Ricker. a local veterinarian. She may be rethinking her career choice, however, after observing Ricker perform surgery on a pig. "I enjoyed it, but I may change my mind (about being a vet)," said Newell. "I wanted to get some personal experience to see what it was like. Now I know. I'll just have to see what happens (in relation to her final career choice)." Newell said she may become a psychologist instead. Jonathan Brown has no doubts about being a vet, even though he observed the same surgery. "I love animals. I enjoyed being here and -working with (Dr. Ricker)," said Brown. Brown said things got a little bit exciting when it was time to put the pig to sleep for its surgery. The students helped keep the animal under control until it could be anesthesized. Elijah Hamilton really enjoyed his day at Lake Area Physical Therapy. "I only decided recently that I wanted to be a physical therapist," he said. "I really liked it (career shadowing). I like the environment, it's quiet. It's hands-on work and you get to work directly with the patients." Lauren Blankenship said she really enjoyed her day at Lake Area Physical Therapy. "I want to be a therapist because you can see people get a little bit better every day," she said.

Today, Bronson presented a Cabinet Resolution in support of the seventh annual National Consumer Protection Week which kicks off Sunday, Feb. 6,.and focuses on identity theft issues. National Consumer Pro- tection Week is designed to highlight consumer protection and education efforts across the country. The theme of this year's NCPW is "Identity Theft: When Fact Becomes Fiction." The Department has joined other state, federal and private consumer advocacy groups to promote public education and awareness about n this fast- growing crime. g "It's important for consumers to be aware of the many ways a criminal can steal their personal information and use it for profit," Bronson said. "Many people don't even realize they've been victimized until they go to make. a major purchase that requires a credit check. It can take months or even years to undo the damage done to a consumer's credit rating. good name and financial security." Consumers are urged to take steps to protect their personal information, such as Social Security number and bank and credit card account numbers. They should never give out. this information unless they initiate the transaction, they know to whom they are giving it and for what purpose it, will be used. Some other tips for reducing the chance of being victimized by an identity thief include: Close all stagnant credit card accounts, don't just cut up the cards. Mail bills from a post office or mail drop. A I I 601 E. Call St. A Hwy. 230, Starke 8014"OU I NoWhispering Oaks low7 900S.

"s i By MARCIA MILLER Telegraph Staff Writer "We all need to take the responsibility to make a difference in the lives of young people.. They are the future," said Starke Mayor Carolyn Spooner in outlining her plan to raise funds to endow two college scholarships. The scholarships are prompted by two things that are very dear to Spooner's heart: The memory of her sister, the former Shirley Brown, and the rich history the local black community has enjoyed through the years. Her sister was a dedicated and gifted nurse who died last March of breast cancer. The scholarship Spooner is raising money to fund will go to a student Who plans to enter the fields of nursing, medicine or cancer research. o Her sister was one of the first black students to attend Bradford. High School after desegregation and was one of the early African-American students to go through'the nur sing program 'at the University of Florida. "My goal is to raise $5.000 for this scholarship by the fall," said Spooner "1 hope to provide fi'e students %with a $1,000 scholarship each." She said her sister was so well respected for her efficiency and pleasant bedside mariner that she quicklN overcame prejudices held b white patients against black nurses in the earl\ 1970s. "She loved what she did and all the patients loted her," said Spooner. "She just lo'ed people. As kids we would go and visit the -elderty --f the community and she would care for them even then." Spooner plans to donate a full month of her salary as a Starke city commissioner to get the fundraising off the ground a total of about $1,000: The second scholarship Spooner is working on will be aimed at providing the descendants ,of people who attended RJE High School prior to desegregation with a college scholarship. The goal for that cholarship',isthe same $5,000. . "I want to see our young' people get an alternative to, street life," said Spooner. "We SAfrican-Americans) need to preserve our rich history. We need to show our young people- there is a better wa, if they really want it. Evern time .1 Starke Mayor Carolyn Spooner drive down the street and see young people just hanging ,Nut, it grieves me. Education can mean everything and they, need to know there are avenues open to them ' Spooner, like magy African- Americans of her generation, attended RJE High School until. 1967 when she transferred to Bradford High .School while in the tenth grade. The school. was eventually closed and was destined for demolition when the Concerned Citizens. of Bradford County banded together to pa) the cost -f the insurance on the buildings until the school district could find the funds to renovate them. RJE is currently, in use as'an alternative' school for the Brjdford district and as a home for the local HeadStart program. How RJE began In 1913 three members of the local black community - spearheaded the effort to improve the educational opportunities in their community. The Rev. James W. Robinson, A.O. Jenkins and R.M. Ellerson were the leaders of the effort to build one of the first black high schools in this area. It was called RJE High School in acknowledgment of their efforts. Jenkins was a highly respected educator and long- available. .All three men worked hard to raise money for the project. Land and materials were purchased and local citizens - volunteers who worked tirelessly finished the building in 58 days. This frame building which was opened in 1914 on Pine and Florida streets is still in use today as a branch of the Starke Recreation Department. The two-story frame building served as a high school for the black community ,in Starke until 1945, when it became obvious that it was too small. Community members went to the school board with a request for a new school, but the board told the citizens the district did not have the money to bby the needed land. Not content to sit and wait,, the community group decided to raise the money for the land themselves. In June of 1945, the group had only $54, but they met 'frequently under Jenkins' guidance and continued to raise funds. Donations as small as 50 cents and as large as $200 were received. The larger amounts came mostly from the fundraising efforts of church congregations. County elementary school children and students at RJE High School took up collections for donations to the fund. Individual citizens 'made sacrifices in their own financial situations in order to donate to the cause. Only one month later, in July of 1945,, the group purchased land on Pine and Jenkins streets for $1,000, with a balance of $1,000 due by November of 1947. In July of 1948 the land was deeded over to the Board of Public Instrutction by "A.O.- Jenkins, George Little and Become a literacy volunteer through the Bradford Vo-Tech literacy program.

The school board then built the "new" school. When the new brick RJE High School was built in the late 1940s. it served the educational needs of the black community in Starke until black schools were closed in *19.70 as a result of desegregation. , A fire, thought to have been intentionally set, did a lot of damage in 1977. Vandalism and other incidents of fire in the unused parts of the school, had also taken their toll. Due: to the high estimated cost of renovating and maintaining insurance on the buildings, the school board decided to tear the school down in 1977. Since the buildings represented a piece of history for the African-American community, a group of citizens banded together under the leadership of the Rev. Levy Lennon, Theresa Hollidda and Elizabeth Walker to form the Concerned Citizens of Bradford County. This group leased the complex from the' school .board and.paid for the insurance on the buildings. A slo)\ mietanmorphosis then began and in the early 1990s the school board renovated approximately half of the complex. At that time, the school board took over responsibility for the complex, with the exception of the old' gymnasium which still serves the -community as a meeting place for various activities.

A'Lesha Sherman of Lawtey "W 'on 'the titles of Bradford- 'Union Strawberry Queen and :Miss -Bradford High School in 2002. In 1999, her older sister 'Chrissy Sherman was the first "African-American to hold the strawberry queen title. ISherman .followed in her sister's footsteps three years later. Today she is a third-year health science major at the "University of Florida and spoke .about the need to develop a :positive self-image. Having a 'high self-esteem and disregarding how others look at you is necessary to make healthy life decisions, she said. i "It doesn't matter if you -aren't as pretty or handsome as Jessica Simpson, Beyonce, LBrad Pitt or Britniey Spears. What truly matters is that you "respect yourself 'and are -comfortable with the way God created you," Sherman said. The first step, she said, is i looking in: the mirror and e,.aluating yourself, telling yourself that you are somebody and that you believe in the good 'that you can do regardless of 'who might try to put you down. Part of loving and respecting )ourself is respecting others as well, Sherman said, even if they are hard to love. Changing them is 'the Lord's battle, 'not -yours, she said. Sherman' also stressed the importance of putting that high 'self-esteem to work by giving 'back to the community. Other speakers continued the ,heme. of. believing in yourself and following your dreams.

As much as she sang throughout her teenage years, including at church and in the high-school chorus. and as often as she heard she had a beautiful voice, Bryant said she ever really believed it herself. "I didn't ha'e the confidence in myself that I should hale had," Bryant said. Even when chorus teacher Don Hardy' praised her and Miller for their talent, she said she felt special it that moment but wasn't Convinced there %was something' "different and special inside of her. Dreams spoke to Bryant and Through prayer she began to ,_% ** By MARK J. CRAWFORD Telegraph Staff Writer believe that singing is what she was born to do. She was still struggling with a lack of confidence, when Miller alerted her to a Gainesville talent competition. Believing God had told them, again through a dream, that this was their time, Bryant and Miller did compete and won the competition. Miller said .she .always believed in their ability and that God wove their destinies together by speaking to Bryant and those around them. "Don't give up on your dream. Just alwa s remember that." Miller said. "I think that contest really brought us together to let us see that, hey, we can do it." One might feel discouraged, but Miller said God places a purpose, a destiny, inside each one of us. "If you are breathing, you can still pursue the things that God has put in you to fulfill," she said.

Keystone Heights High School student Kyle Bryan said he was almost at a loss in trying to comprehend what was going on around him. "It definitely was a blur," he said. "I had to sit and think on the bus, 'What just happened?'" What just happened was that J Bryan, in a. group of 2,500 people, was on the field of Alltel Stadium during halftime of Super Bowl XXXIX, cheering on the performance of Paul McCartney. Bryan was one of 16 people from Keystone who participated in the halftime show. Bradford County had 17 participaits-in- the show. All but four of the I people from the two groups were students at either Keystone Heights or Bradford high schools The Keystone group was S organized by Bryan, while the Bradford group was organized by BHS student Rose Rezaei. Like Bryan, Rezaei found out about the opportunity to participate in the halftime show by watching the news on TV. It sounded like a good idea to Rezaei: "How many times do you even get a chance to see a Super Bowl, let alone be in it?" The selected groups participated in a practice on Jan. 30, then in a dress rehearsal on Feb. 3 at Alltel Stadium. As far as BHS teacher I Christie Torode-one of the group memb-ers--wa-s- concerned, the dress rehearsal, in which McCartney performed his set twice, was the best part of the whole experience. It \. as a ..remarkably different atmosphere than that at the Super Bow I. Keystone group member, and Beatles fanatic. Kasey Fagan shared Torode's sentiment. "I liked the dress rehearsal more than an.ithing else," saia Fagan, a junior at KHHS. On Feb. 6, the. day of the Super Bov.1, the halftime participants met at the.Police Athletic League in Jacksonville. They then loaded onto school buses and rode to the stadium with a police escort. "People were stopping on the - I oad looking at us, trN ing to figure out who we were," Torode said. "It was so cool." Rezaei said. "We were driving yelloww buses and we %were screaming out the %windows. E1ersbody thought we %ere somebody important." Rezaei said the people exited the buses one hour prior to kickoff and waited at the adjacent baseball complex., After a wait, the people lined up and .waited to run out onitothe field. They \ i!ceived quite a greeting from the crowd when they.did take to the field, which surprised Torode. "These people didn't know us from Adam," she Said "We were nobody and they were leaning over the sides, as we were going out of the tunnels. and cheering for us and taking.. our pictures." The halftime participants were very excited, to say the least. "We were supposed to line up. in the end -zone, but people didn't do that," Bryan said. "They just ran straight to the stage." -- -Rezjae said: "E'er)bod. had a lot of adrenaline " That was good, because the people were supposed to be *enthusiastic while McCartney 'was performing. "People were screaming and going crazy," Bryan said. "It was the longest time I've'ever had to jump up and down." Torode said she and other -members of her group enjoyed- the fireworks during McCartney's performance "of "Live and Let Die." "We liked them because they warmed us up," she said. "It was cold." Bryant enjoyed the finale in which the participants waved flashlights as McCartney sang See SUPER, p..2C KH baseball player will play at FCCJ Keystone Heights High School senior Branidonf Hayes made it official on Feb. 11, signing a letter-of-intent to play baseball at Florida Community College at Jacksonville. - Please-see next week's-issue to read comments from Hayes, as well as from Keystone coach Alan Mattox and FCCJ coach Chris Blaquiere. , The reason history is by turns gripping, boring and threatening is that it is a play in which the characters make up. their lines as they go along. -John P.

By CLIFF SMELLEY Telegraph Staff Writer Good things come to those who wait, but as far as John "Jack" Montpetit of Lake Butler was concerned, he had waited just about long enough. However, everything worked out in the end and Montpetit finally has a patent in hand for his invention-the Spigot Freeze Preventer (SFP). The SFP is a device that drips water at a rate of either one-half gallon per hour or one gallon per hour, even if the spigot it is attached to is open to maximum flow Montpetit said it was a load off of his shoulders to finally get the patent, but admitted that he and Billy Hall, who is the vice president of Montpetit Entrerprises Inc., did not have much time to recognize the fact as they worked-as they did throughout the patent-waiting period-to get their product out in front of as many consumers as possible. ."We've, been so busy we Haven't even had time to celebrate," Montpetit said. Though he finally got the patent, the speed of the process must have seemed, to Montpetit, about as slow as the water that drips through his SFP. Montpetit's patent. application was filed on Sept. 30, 2002. He received the patent Dec. 14, 2004. Montpetit thought the process took entirely too long and he expressed that sentiment to h is patent attorney. "I told him, if we want to create these jobs, we've got to expedite these patents." Montpetit said. "You can't hardly do anything-you can't get a staff on board, you can't get financing, you can't get a lot of things until you.(receive a patent). You can say, 'I've got a patent pending.' but you may never get a patent." Montpetit said he talked to his patent altorne. at some point.ia November.of last year. The attorney said all the associated claims had been approved and the process would probably be finalized in three months. Then it would take about five months to get the patent, the attorney said. That did not satisfy Montpetit. who had been waiting for more than two years at that point. He told his attorney that the process was not fair and he was going to write to .his congressman and *senators, as well as the President. The attorney .'s response was that if he wanted a patent, Montpetit just had to expect it would take a long time. "I said. 'Not really We really need to do something about that and I think it's about time somebody started complaining .about the long process." Guess what? I got (the patern) in six weeks (after that conversation)." Now that a patent is in hand, ?Montpetit and Hall are looking into how they can bring the SFP into a more widespread market. "We need to penetrate the market in a very big way for us to be profitable." Hall said. Said Montpetit: "We know it's going to sell. It's just a' matter of getting it out there. Currently, the device is sold online (www.frozenpipes.net) and at various stores mainly in north Florida and south Georgia. Montpetit said approximately 12 stores carried the product in 2002. That increased to 25 stores in 2003 and then to 55 stores last year. However, the main reason those stores are carrying tle SFP is because Montpetit and. Hall personally visited, each store and discussed the product with the owners. . "We don't have the ability to travel all over the United States right now," Hall said. Montpetit and Hall have put in a lot of work to ready .the' product for the national market. The SFP devices are individually packaged by Clearwater Packaging, creating a professional look, Montpetit said. Adding to. the professionalism is a marketing !video made by Montpetit and SHall. Also, the SFP was tested by East West Technologies in Jupiter. The SFP held up and continued dripping water at temperatures of minus-16 degrees. A burst test was also conducted with the help of the Lake Butler Fire Department. It turned out the man tried it at "It went up to 250 pounds his own home and called and didn't burst," Montpetit Montpetit to tell him the SFP said. did not work. "We don't have any concerns Once Montpetit figured out about what we're selling what happened, he apologized people," Hall said. "We're and gave the man another to try. going to stand behind it because "He's been ordering them we know it's already been ever since," Montpetit said. proven to do what we say it's In Montpetit's experience, going to do." once people-like that particular store owner-try the However, not every store SFP, they are pleased with the owner is convinced-at first. results. A friend of Montpetit's Montpetit recalls giving a box wife, Babs, told Montpetit she of SFPs, on consignment, to the thought the SFP devices were owner of a hardware store in the best things she had ever Lake City last year. seen. They saved her the trouble "We came by (later) to pick of having to get up two or three them up and he couldn't even times a night during freezing hardly find them," Montpetit weather to go outside and make said of the owner. sure all her spigots were Montpetit told the owner he dripping. had to display the SFPs where "She called me the other day people could see them. He left about something and asked me two boxes with the man if he when I was going to come by would put them in public view. and pick up her testimonial," The store owner only wanted Montpetit said. "We've got a one box, but Montpetit insisted half dozen testimonials from on two. people." Well,..the SFPs did sell at the Some SFP users could speak store.

"It was awesome," he said. "Eler\bod'; had, a light on. They turned down the lights in the stadium." The halftime participants: were given simple instructions when the show was over-run, run, run! All the equipment set up. for McCartney's performance was being moved off the field right behind then and the\ had to get off the field as quickly as possible. "That was a serious adrenaline rush right there," Rezaei said. The people, were bused back to the Police Athletic League, %%here a party was held 'for them. They got to eat pizza and recei ed several items of Super Bowl paraphernalia, such as T- shirts and hats. Rezaei said the excitement level among her group members' did not wane 'during the drive. back to Starke. ..' "Afterward. everybody was ."glowTTrg and "they -were --s# exlcted," Rezaei said. - Rezaeii said she andotfher members of her' group were even singing. the songs ..McCariney performed on the way home. Before they got Torode. involved in the halftime show, many of the-students had no clue who McCartney was. Torode said the students did recognize some of the Beatles songs after she played a CD for them. However, she said the students just did not grasp that' they were seeing a "living. legend." "'To kids, (McCartney)'s not, as big as Usher," Torode said. Well, not all kids. McCartney was the reason Fagan wanted to participate in the halftime show. She admitted she had tears in her eyes the first time she saw him. 4 '.'I didn't even care about the Super Bowl," Fagan said. "I just wanted to see him." Fagan said she wished she %ould have had the opportunity to meet McCartney, but she was glad she had the opportunity to see him up close. "It was an experience of a lifetime," Fagan said. Bryan and Rezaei felt the same' way about the entire experience. "I would love to do it again, personal ," Rezaei said. Bryan said: "I feel sorry for everybody who didn't do it." Torode said she was glad the BHS students who participated got the opportunity to do so. "It was neat," she said "I think it's something they won't forget.

This year, the Keystone Heights Indians were the ones on the winning side of a shutout, defeating visiting Wakulla 4-0 in a boys' Region 1-3A soccer-semifinal match on Feb. 15 in Keystone. The Indians (15-5) will now host either Bolles or Pensacola Catholic for the Region. 1 championship this Friday, Feb. 18,; at 7 p.m. "It feels great," said senior co-captaih Kenny Turner, who has been a key component of a defense that has now shut out both of its regional playoff opponents. Keystone defeated Episcopal 2-0 in .the quarterfinals on Feb. 10 (see related story). "The key is the defense stepping up and winning headers in the air and winning Keystone goal keeper Michael McLeod prepares to kick the ball in Keystone's win over Episcopal. Indians defeat Episcopal.. .finally By CLIFF SMELLEY Telegraph Staff Writer It was the same score as last year's Region l-3A boys' soccer quarterfinal match between the two teams, but this time it was the Keystone Heights Indians who walked off the field victors. Keystone defeated Episcopal 2-0 to earn its first win over the Eagles (15-5-4) in four attempts. "We had a monkey on- our back named Episcopal coming into this game and we took that monkey and stomped on it," Keystone head coach Roger Lloyd said. Chad Hapner scored both goals. His first came when he headed in.a free kick by Kenny Turner with approximately 10 minutes, remaining in the first half. Hapner's second goal came off of an assist by Brad Gober. It was what has been a rather routine game for Hapner this season. "He shoots with absolute precision," Lloyd said. "That's the mark of a quality striker." Goal keeper Michael McLeod had 14 saves to help preserve the shutout. While Keystone was victorious in the first round of the playoffs, Santa Fe, which finished as District 4 runner-up to Keystone, was .not so fortunate. The Raiders (10-7) lost 6-0 to fifth-ranked Bolles. every free ball," Turner said. "You've got to win every free ball." "It was another fine performance put in by Kenny Turner, Keith Wheeler and the defense, along with (goal keeper) Michael McLeod," Keystone head coach Roger Lloyd said. Keystone scored three first- half goals. Chad Hapner was out in front of the Wakulla defense and made his way past the goal keeper, :but his shot' went off the left post. Brad Gober was .there, however, to play...the ricochet and put it in the net almost four minutes into the match. Hapner scored the Indians' second goal in the 12'h minute, followed by Turner's goal in the 26th minute. Hapner scored the last goal in the 54th minute.

Lloyd said he thought his team played a little sloppy, especially on the offensive end where he thought players were rushing their shots. Still, Lloyd said it was a testament to the team to get a shutout win in the regional playoffs even when not playing its best game. "The mark of a winner is that even when they don't play their best game, they still win," Lloyd said. "We were a little sloppy tonight, but we executed when we had to and we still came out with a good 4-0 game. "We made history tonight and we're very, very proud of it. These young men have worked hard all year and we're looking forward to one more step toward that Final Four."'' Nature never quite goes along with, us.

The Indians (18-8), by virtue of playing in the championship game, earned a berth in the regional quarterfinals. They will travel to Green Cove Springs to play Clay on Thursday, Feb. 17, at 7 p.m. Santa Fe will host Ribault that same night. It is the second straight year the Indians have advanced to the regional playoffs, but they have now gone six seasons without winning a district championship. Keystone won nine straight during 1991-99. Santa Fe, meanwhile, won its fourth straight title. Keystone's Kaylene Rountree (right) and Santa Fe's Kim White chase after a loose ball. Keystone gave the Raiders their closest games of the regular season, losing by a total of three points in two games. Keystone head coach Deborah -Feagle said it seemed her team just ran out of gas in the second half of the championship game. Three players were battling sickness and two players-Sara Crane and Kellie Spaulding-were on the bench With injuries. "If we had 'a full, healthy team and everybody playing, I think we could've made it a tighter game," Feagle said. A basket by Kaylene Rountree gave the Indians their final lead late in the second quarter, but two consecutive 3- pointers by Santa Fe sent the Raiders into the half up 19-14. Janay McCray, who made one of those 3-pointers, scored five points early in the third quarter to help the Raiders go up by eight. Five points by Karlyn Reddish and a basket by Jessica Whitfield helped the Indians pull within 28-25, but the Raiders then scored the next 12 points. Kim White sparked Santa Fe's run, which extended into the fourth quarter. White did not play most of the third quarter because she picked up her third foul in the second quarter. However, she scored, six points during Santa Fe's run. She had.two consecutive steals at one point, one leading to a layup for herself and the other leading to a basket by McCray. The Indians failed to score in the fourth quarter until Mindy Poupard made a,3-pointer with 4:03 to play. It was the first of three consecutive 3-pointers by Keystone and they pulled the Indians within six points with just under two minutes to play. Keystone would not score again. I Reddish was the Indians' 'leading scorer with just seven points. Whitfield led the team with seven rebounds. McCray and White led' the Raiders with 16 and 11 points, respectively.

District 4-3A girls' basketball tournament, but top seed Santa Fe awaited the third-seeded Tigers, handing them a 47-28 loss on Feb. 10 in Keystone Heights. 'It was the third time the young Tigers' team played Santa Fe this season and the third double-digit loss. However, the semifinal loss was the only one of those three games in which the mercy rule-the .utilization of a running clock once a 35-point margin is reached in the second half-was not employed. '"This was a great game for the girls," said Union head& coach Perry Davis. "They showed so much improvement over the year. Normally Santa Fe can score as many points as they want, but we worked as a team and were able to keep them under 50." Renee Cooper scored nine points for the Tigers; who finished the season with an 11-8 record. Santa Fe (18-8) went on to win the district championship, defeating Keystone 46-34.

Defensive lineman Letroy Guion will be going to Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kan. and offensive lineman Josh Weaver will be attending Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. "It's a good opportunity," Guion said. "I've wanted to play football all my life." Guion is being placed at Butler by Florida State University. "Butler's going to redshirt him next year," Bradford head coach Chad Bankston said, "If he takes care of his coursework and does ear>) thing he need to do, when he signs with Florida State he'll play for three years when he gets there instead of two." ,Bankston said FSU was the only major college that showed its willingness to work with ,Guion and help him become eligible. "It's real exciting." Guioni said. "I wasn't expecting it. I knew I was good, but I wasn't expecting them to place me (at Butler) like that." Guion now plans to put in a lot of hard work in the weight- room and in the classroom to ready himself for FSU. Bankston said hard work is one of Guion's biggest attributes as a player. "He's good, but he's that much better because he plays hard all the time," Bankston said. Guion's hard work this past season resulted in him being a Class 2A first-team All-State selection and runner-up for the Class 2A Player of the Year. "To me, he's the best defensive lineman in the state of Florida, hands down." Bdnkstoi said. 7 .. Weaver, who ,ak also a 'first- team All-State selection, is looking forward to the opportunity to continue his playing career. "It's nice because I love football," he said. "I like it probably almost more than an. thing."' Weaver said he received offers from Central Florida, Florida Atlantic and Georgia Southern. but he said he liked the .environment at Liberty. Weaver was raised in a Christian family and Liberty is a Christian university. "' I think it's a good place for me to go," Weaver said.
