On April 6., the" Bradford/Union Child Abuse Prevention Task Force placed 126 pinwheels on the-front- lawn of the Union County Courthouse to bring light to this situation. "The pinwheels represent childhood and are very eye catching," said Annie McPherson, director of the task force. "They are an excellent representation of the innocence of childhood." McPherson said the taskforce hopes the display will help people understand how big a problem child abuse actually is. "The 126 pinwheels give people a visual aid as to just how rnany children were abused in Union County," said McPherson. "We only counted the cases that had positive findings." She said that for every case that has positive findings, there are many more that don't even get reported. "It's a very conservative number," said McPherson. "DCF has numerous cases, that they are unable to prove abuse is happening." The task force did the display in April because it is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed.. ., proclamation declaring April as such. Every president since has followed in his footsteps. President George Bush's 2005 proclamation states that our nation has a responsibility to build a safe and nurturing society so that our young people can realize their full potential. McPherson said that message is the goal of the task force. "Our goal is to rally the community to understand what 'they can do to assist and encourage the families in their own communities," said McPherson. Throughout the month of April supporters of the cause are asked to wear blue ribbons. "The simplest way of all to raise awareness may be to hold a blue ribbon campaign in your community," said McPherson. "Wearing the ribbon lets others know you care about preventing abuse." -The task force is sponsored by the Child Abuse Prevention Project (CAPP), located at the University of Florida's College of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics. CAPP has been serving the North Central Florida community since 1983.. Above: The Bradford/Union Child Prevention Abuse Task Force placed 126 pinwheels in front of the Union County Courthouse on April 6. Each pinwheel represented a child that, had been abused in Union County during 2004. For more see related story. The group provides a number 'of services to the local community. Parent education and support, community education and training and consultation are just a few of the many functions the' group -helps prevent child abuse with. The group helps local task forces, like the Bradford/Union task force, gather information about community needs with regard to family support. It also helps the group work toward goals the local task force sets. See ABUSE, p. 3A Researcher says beware of mosquito control claims Recent rains and rising temperatures can mean only one thing-mosquito season will soon be upon us. With it comes the fears of mosquito-borne diseases that mosquitos can transmit to humans. The recent findings of a horse in Raiford contracting Eastern Equine Encephalitis have University of Florida officials cautioning consumers about the promises of mosquito control devices. 'It is unfortunate that many advertisements take advantage of the concerns we have to protect family' members from mosquito-borne disease," said C. Roxanne Rutledge, an assistant professor with the university's department of entomology and nematology. Rutledge points out that. the devices companies offer to eliminate what is jokingly known as "Florida's state bird" do not really do so. "Mosquito control, which is what these devices offer, and mosquito- borne disease prevention are not the same," said Rutledge. She said mosquito-control only involves reducing populations of mosquitoes. This technique only serves to limit the number of mosquito bites in a given area. With mosquito-borne disease prevention, individuals take responsibility to protect themselves from any mosquito bite. "The process involves personal protection, such as wearing mosquito repellent," said Rutledge. "The devices consumers use for mosquito control are not considered a means of disease protection." Mosquito trapping devices are one new popular method of mosquito control. According to Rutledge, most modern mosquito trapping devices use carbon dioxide to lure mosquitoes to the device. Once the insect comes in the vicinity of the device, a fan sucks the insects into the device and into -a collection bag. Once in the bag the mosquito is trapped and dies. The devices range from $300-$1,400 in price. "While the traps will catch - mosquitoes, a full bag may be a minute percentage of all the blood sucking female mosquitoes in the area," said Rutledge. "This will not likely impact the large populations of mosquitoes." There are no scientific publications that show the devices to be effective for actually controlling mosquitoes, reducing their populations or reducing biting rates under the range of conditions likely'to be found in different homes." According to Rutledge, some advertisements claim that the trap will decimate a mosquito population in four to six weeks. "The life span of an' adult mosquito varies, but populations of many mosquitoes, that are the target of these devices, will often begin to decline naturally within a few weeks if let alone," said Rutledge. "Particularly if rainfall is intermittent and if professional mosquito control is conducted." While Rutladege is skeptical of the devices claims, she said there may be some circumstances--whcr-e-- the mosquito trapping devices can indeed reduce mosquito-biting activity in a small area for a specific period of time. "Several factors would have to be optimal for this to be true," said Rutledge. These factors are: There should be little wind to disrupt the attractive carbon dioxide cloud. The mosquito numbers are low to begin with. The attractant plume of carbon dioxide is large enough to outcompete other attractants such as the attraction from groups of people or animals. Rutledge said the only. available information on how well the these devices work are from the testimonials of the people who purchased them. "These accounts do not incorporate controlled studies or proper data analysis," said Rutledge. "As with other such products, buyer beware is still good advice." Another device that promises relief are known as mosquito control timed spray -systems- T-he-dev ice includes insecticide spray nozzles connected by tubing that are installed around fence lines and the perimeter of the house. Tubing is connected to a reservoir of insecticide and released in time regulated intervals. "In order to reduce the number of biting mosquitoes, one must monitor several variables and respond with appropriate control measures that are specific for the intended pest species," said Rutledge. "Mosquito control timed spray systems lack the human element that is critical for effective and environmentally proper mosquito control." For the method to be effective consumers would have to: Properly identify the pest species. See CONTROL, p. 2A L I) 16 ) I I Note v , Page 2A UNION COUNTY TIMES April 14, 2005 CONTROL Continued from p. 1A Consider the behaviors of various species. : Monitor population density, landing rates, trap dounts and larval development. Monitor the weather. i "It is against good mosquito control practices to advocate automatic release of pesticides simply based on a timer," said 4utledge. "Effective and efficient mosquito control programs respond to mosquito destiny " Rutledge said that proper t ming of an application is Critical. "It can be very difficult to time a mosquito (dulticide application that s ecifically targets resting or flying mosquitoes," said I utledge. Because the system relies on ime release and not monitoring, it leads to inappropriate applications. 'Inappropriate applications can contributee to insecticide olerance and resistance in insects and may contribute to- environmental problems." Ultrasonic devices Ultrasonic devices include products that are designed to be worn around the neck or wrist or attached to a belt, to repel mosquitoes. The devices create sounds that mimic male mosquitoes or dragonflies. In theory, the sounds are suppose to frighten female mosquitoes away. "These claims are unsubstantiated," said Rutledge. "Female mosquitoes in search of a blood meal do not fly away from male rhosquitoes." Rutlede said neither male or female mosquitoes retreat from areas where dragonflies are present. One Florida company was Charged with making false advertising claims about the devices. In August 2002, the Federal Trade Commission .(FT C) chargedI MosquitoContro products with making unsubstantiated claims in the advertising of their ultrasonic products. The products were battery-operated and cost in the range of $10- $20. The line included a bracelet ,,key chain and tabletop model.: According, to' the FTC, there isno competent ori'eliable evidence to support the claims made for the products. While other manufacturers continue to distribute the devices, there has been no evidence that has shown the , devices kill, repel or protect humans or animals from biting mosquitoes. "The devices that do remain on the market are very careful about the claims. they make," said Rutledge. 'Bug, zappers and other control methods Bug.zappers use ultraviolet light to lure mosquitoes into a trap that will electrocute them. Besides attracting mosquitoes, the devices attract many types of insects such as moth and "beetles. Several studies have shown the zappers kill other types of insects more often .,ihan they kill mosquitoes. The studies have also shown the devices do not reduce the number of biting mosquitoes. Some people have even tried a natural approach to their mosquito problem. Releasing bats and purple martins into an area has been thought to help control mosquito problems. The belief is that the animals -Till eat all the mosquitoes and thus, no more problem. While bats and purple martins do eat mosquitoes, just like most organisms, they enjoy a variety of food sources. "Mosquitoes make up a very small portion of the diet of bats and birds," said Rutledge. "Species that rely on one source of food can quickly- be eliminated if there is a shortage or complete halt to Their food supply." Rutledge said relying on these this type of control method, especially during times of high risk exposure, is not prudent. "There is no doubt they will consume them, but not in sufficient numbers to demonstrate an appreciable reduction of biting mosquitoes," said Rutledge. Rutledge also warns of products that claim to be natural, thus making them safe. "Unfortunately, the wording can be misleading for the uninformed individual," said Rutledge. "Products made of, or derived from, something natural does not necessarily mean it is safe or non-toxic." Remember salt is natural, but not necessarily safe." Rutledge I- said safe or natural products may also have trade-offs that a buyer must consider. "They may not be as effective as other methods," said Rutledge. Some products have claimed to reduce the threat of West Nile virus. "Advertisements that claim to reduce West Nile or any other mosquito-borne disease are inappropriate and misleading," said Rutledge. "There are no devices that have been shown to have an impact on reducing mosquito- borne transmission disease." According to Rutledge, repellents containing DEET are the most effective for personal protection from mosquito bites. Repellents are applied to directly to an individual and do not rely on controlling a population. It is one of the most effective mosquito-borne disease. prevention techniques known, short of not going outdoors.

As of Thursday, April 7, the blood center reported they have 25 percent of their normal supply of type 0, more than 300 units less than optimum, throughout their 16 regions in Alabama, Florida and Georgia. About 44 percent of the population is either O-positive or O-negative and it is a critical blood type for hospitals, especially trauma centers, to have available to treat emergency patients. The shortage is the result of an increase in demand from many LifeSouth-served hospitals and weak donations due to spring break and weather conditions during the past several weeks in some areas, LifeSouth officials said. Because many other blood centers are experiencing similar shortages, LifeSouth's attempts to get help from other community banks have not been successful. Blood donors must be at least 17 years old, weigh 110 pounds or more, and show a photo I.D. Please call toll free at (888) 795-2707 to make an appointment to donate at one of LifeSouth's 22 donor centers in Alabama, Florida and Georgia. The Gainesville center can be reached directly at (352) 334- 1000. For more information about donation locations and times, please visit wwvw.lifesouth.org.

"It can also best find the resources needed, the gaps in service that exist and who best to do the work that needs to be done." CAPP is also staffed with licensed professionals and paraprofessionals whose goals are to enhance the nurturing skills of parents. The staff also tries to train the professional community, such as doctors and nurses, to recognize signs of abuse as well as the community at large. According to CAPP's web site 120,772 of Florida's children were abused or neglected in 2004. "Abuse and neglect are far more reaching than you might imagine," said McPherson. "Children of all races and ethnicities are victims of child abuse." McPherson said she encourages anyone who would like to help to join the task force. "Prevention is the key to stopping child abuse," said McPherson. "That prevention comes in the form of family support." Helping parents cope with certain situations, talking to stressed out parents and babysitting for parents are just some of the ways people can help their family and friends turn a bad situation into a good one. The group holds monthly meetings in Starke to help educate local officials on the problem of child abuse. Its next meeting will be held Monday, May 2, at the First Presbertation Church located on Call Street. The meeting begins at 11:30 a.m. Those interested in helping are invited to attend.

The budget is what Bush has 5 proposed the Union County - School District receive in fiscal year 2005-2006. It gives board members an idea of what Sthe district will be receiving in the upcoming school year. "This is the governor's L proposed budget, not our actual budget," Shockley reminded school board members just before his presentation. While the budget shows a more than $900,000 increase over last year's budget, the areas the increases are proposed in will not give the district much discretionary L spending ability. More than one-third of the increase, $378,807, is proposed for class size reduction growth. The - district is mandated to spend the funds on new teachers and " classrooms. The increase would help the district hire the five new teachers it will need for the upcoming school year. It is projected that Lake Butler Elementary will require three new teachers and. Lake Butler Middle School will require two additional teachers. These additional teachers will be needed for the district to meet the class size reduction amendment requirements. 'Another proposed increase includes a $198,957 increase in the sparsity supplement the school district receives. The supplement is designated to compensate small, geographically dispersed districts for extra costs they face in providing the same educational services. For example, small districts, like Union County, typically do not have enough exceptional students to generate funds for additional teachers. Federal d statealaw require that 5sici students be served. Shockley did warn the board Save money on local phone service The Lifeline Assistance Program and Link-Up Florida offer assistance to qualified residential telephone customers, and are designed to ensure that the basic telephone connection (hook-up) and service remain affordable to all Residents of Florida. Consumers receiving state and federal assistance such as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), food stamps, Medicaid, Low- Income Home Energy Assistance Program. (LIHEAP), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or Federal Public Housing Assistance (Section 8) are eligible for these programs. You may also be eligible for benefits if your household income is no more than 125 percent of the federal poverty income guidelines. Check with your local telephone company for details. In addition, if you live on a federally recognized tribal land and are eligible for benefits through the Bureau of ,Indian Affairs' Tribal TANF Program, Head Start Subsidy or the National School Lunch Program, you qualify for ^ expanded Lifeline assistance. The Lifeline Assistance Program provides up to a $13.50 credit on qualified residential customers' local monthly phone bills, including a federal credit of up to $10 and a matching credit from their telephone company of up to $3.50. , Link-Up Florida provides up to a 50 percent reduction in the that in years past the supplement was large in the proposed budget, but reduced heavily before it made it out of committee. "The amount the governor's budget proposes and what we get are never the same," said Shockley. Another increase the budget shows is in the area of supplemental reading instruction. While the line item shows an increase of $116,191, Shockley told the board that figure was deceiving. "While the increase is there, the state is taking away a $100,000 grant the district received last year for the same purpose," said Shockley. "In reality we're only getting about a $16,000 increase." Other proposed increases. include $24,321 for transportation, $4,029 for instructional materials and $7,791 for the district's Safe Schools program. Shockley said the budget, if approved as presented, would give the school district an overall increase of 7.64 percent from the 2004-2005 school year budget. Several areas of the budget show decreases as well. One such area would be the teacher training line item. The budget shows a decrease of $15,353 in the line item for 2005-06 fiscal year. It is the largest decrease of any line item in the budget. The budget's allotment for supplemental academic instruction may be taking a hit as well. The proposed budget would remove $3,945 froir the area. Shockley said the state is taking money out of areas to put into others. "The problem is that there is no real new money in this proposal," said Shockley. He said without new money, things like new materials and salary increases might be though to come by. During his presentation, Shockley showed the board what he projected would it would cost the district to give all general-fund employees a one percent raise. According io S9ickleyv aobne-..perent raise with one step would cost the district $313,297. "In this telephone service hook-up charge, to a maximum of $30. Florida's state legislators played a major role in establishing the Lifeline Assistance Program for the state, recognizing that some Florida residents did hot have telephone service simply because they could not afford it. The Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) is committed to making sure that eligible low-income residents receive these discounts. -If you have any questions, or would like to know if you are eligible to participate in the programs, please call your local telephone company. After speaking with your phone company, if you have further questions please call the PSC at 1-800-342-3552, e- mail the PSC at contact@psc.state.fl.us, or write to the: Florida Public Service Commission, Division of Regulatory Compliance and Consumer Assistance, 2540 Shumard Oak Boulevard, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0850.

ZV'`; Reachover4M ilionReadersby callng tsnewspaperoi preliminary budget the district would only have $193,000 for contingencies, without even looking at raises," said Shockley. He then showed the board what higher percentages would cost the district. A two percent raise plus a step would cost the district $402,810. A three percent raise plus one step would cost the district an additional $492,324 per year. "This is based on the staff we currently have in place," said Shockley. He said those numbers could change if employees were to leave. Shockley would not say wether or not he felt raises would be out of the reach of the school * district until he receives the final budget. As of April 1, the district has more than 330 employees on its payroll. These include principals, teachers, teachers' aides, janitorial staff and transportation employees as well as school board employees. Shockley, as well as board members, discussed the possibility of the class size reduction amendment being repealed. Recently Bush announced he would push to repeal the amendment and give beginning teachers a larger salary. Bush's proposal would give a beginning teacher a minimum salary of $35,000. Shockley said if that happened, the board might run into moral problems among existing teachers. "If this proposal does pass, we are going to have increase our current teachers' salaries, otherwise we are going to run into moral problems," said Shockley. While not saying it out loud, the nod of board members heads showed they felt it could be a problem as well. The overall budget includes more than $12.5 million dollars for the district in the 05-06 fiscal year. It will be several months before the district gets its final budget from the state.

We had a terrific flower bloom leading up to Easter. Dogwood winter played out just before Good Friday, and we have been: getting a good soaker rain a couple of times a week for over a month now. Just like old times? The Real Questions Willt this' weather cycle ling~W'li the good rains continue? \\"iat il, our water situation be in the near future? What about the future of our children and grandchildren? Depending on who you ask, there appears to be several geologic explanations (and many human explanations) as to why Starke and' most of Bradford 'County has water standing everywhere, yet Keystone Heights' main lakes-Brooklyn, Keystone and Geneva-are all still woefully down. Why? The Ridge SSome have called our area the backbone of Florida, as there is a ridge (of old sand dunes mostly) that was pushed up thousands of years ago, making Keystone Heights one of the higher locations in central Florida and our traffic light a little over 150 feet- above sea level. Lake Santa Fe is up-way up-over what it was just a year or so ago. So are many. Bradford, Alachua and even Marion county lakes. Yet, Keystone is down; Could a part of the reason be because of our ridge? Just like the Rocky Mountains serve as the famous Continental Divide, we- have our "Florida Divide" here. The rain that falls north and east of the ridge, eventually runs into the Atlantic Ocean. And the rain that falls to the west and south of the ridge basically flows into the Gulf. The drier, lake areas are mostly north and east of this ridge, in the Keystone Heights area. rnriId t? poaiiexamination, the water- in Lake;Santa, Fe is more tea colored,- whereas the Keystone lakes and the whole lake region offer more clear water-spring fed, -with lots of sandy bottoms. This also implies a different source or topography involved. Does the ridge divide the subterranean water too? Lake Brooklyn, We are all blessed to be sitting'righti on top of the largest source of fresh, water in North America, the Floridan Aquifer. Lake Brooklyn, as, a major surfactant lake, is one of the top two or three recharge lakes for the aquifer in central Florida. That is a very, important fact. The Floridan Aquifer is, frankly, our collective future. What is next? Water, pure. water, has. been described as the oil of the future. Valuable. Necessary. Limited.

Originally scheduled for, the weekend of April 2-3. it has been postponed until Saturday and Sunday, June 11 and 12 The course is expected-to-be. in excellent condition, with the two-month delay helping the thin, grass on the fairways to recover.

Tatum Enterprises continues to make improvements to the course, battling all sorts of problems to which golf courses are subject, as well as cleaning and updating fairways and greens that were run-down for the lack of maintenance funds. The recent wet spell has shown the need for, and locations, for, additional 'drains. The Tatums plan to meet with a designer this week to discuss plans for an additional nine holes, which will put the Starke course on the list of places to play, since most golfers prefer to play 18 different holes. The owners have promised a tournament-quality facility-,and-. the improvements made thus far support their claim. A new contest for members was rolled out last weekend, April 9 and 10. called Pic a Pro. Each player played to his handicap and Sunday afternoon his net score was added with that of a Master's Tournament pro, whose name was drawn from a hat, for a combined score. Prizes were awarded. Player of the Year is-a year-- long contest running from Jan. I through Dec. .31 to determine a winner. Points will be accumulated for entering various contests, prizes won and other considerations.

"I can look at them and I know they can do certain things. They just need a little prodding, a little sharpening and a little polishing." Ripplinger remembers one student from last year, who made strides in his government honors class. Yet when it came time to do an oral presentation on a Supreme Court case, which included fielding questions from the other students in the class, she asked Ripplinger if there was any way she could do the presentation in front of just him after school. She was nervous about standing up in front of the class. The response from Ripplinger was that she had to get up in front of the class like everybody else, but he professed his faith in the fact that she could do it. She selected a Supreme Court -case that no one else had selected. Ripplinger told her she would be the expert on that case-no one else in class Mike Ripplinger fields some questions from his class, which consists of James Spratlin, Jeremiah Dowling, Brittney Padgett, David Whalen, Lauren Sapp, Sara Stills, Lance Griffis, Kaitlen Darden and Brad Touchton. Also pictured is Matt Dyal (standing in rear), who is a class observer from Santa Fe Community College. would know anything about it until she gave her presentation. She had all the answers. "She got up and.she made a wonderful presentation," Ripplinger said. "She handled every single question that was asked of her. She was very excited." That student gained confidence in her abilities and it has remained with her as she is working her way through cosmetology school. "She e-mailed me not long ago," Ripplinger said. "Part of her grade depends upon getting up and doing presentations. She has the confidence to do that now. She said she got that confidence from my class and my faith in her in making her do that project." Stories like that are what fuel Ripplinger's drive as a teacher. almost an hour and a half of time to work with those students. Ripplinger chose those students who -were willing to work with him and who wanted the opportunity to graduate. He uses different materials that are still state-sanctioned, but are written in a way that students can more easily understand what is being taught them. Plus, the smaller group of students he's working with allows him to spend more one-on-one time with them. So far, he's had success with the program. Most of the students are now passing and on track to graduate because Ripplinger is spending time with them that he cannot get paid for. "I saw an opportunity and I just didn't want it to slip away," he said. In fact, Ripplinger said his . door is open to students l whenever it is convenient fori them to talk to him, whether it's in the morning prior, to the start of the school day or well after the school day lets out. "I will bend over backward to l help them and they realizeI- that," Ripplinger said. He enjoys helping hisi students any way he can andl that is why even though hel would like to try his hand at an administrative position one day, he is content to stay in their classroom for the immediate future. "I think an administrative! position would be wonderful,"! Ripplinger said, "but as long asi I still have a passion for'the. classroom, that's where I want] to stay." He said he goes into the classroom each day, asking himself, "Who am I going to help today? How can I impact somebody's life today?" If it takes working with students beyond class time to make that impact, then Ripplinger will do it. He had some students who did not pass in his classes during the first semester, so he approached administration about doing something to help those students. His idea was to utilize his planning period, which is during first period-giving him Nature's Water ,3 Free Water ytTest Hwy 21 9 035 Wr Keystone Heights,352 U 473U0 Toll Free 1-866-70-WATER S92837 FHA & VA "WE SERVICE ALL SYSTEMS" Testing "The Boardinghouse" is being presented by the Lake Region Community Theatre and can be seen at the Woman's Club of Keystone Heights.

'l I GAINESILLF HEALTH & FITNESS Arthritis & Aquatic CENTER His peers at BHS may appreciate him, but Ripplinger admits he still has problems referring to some of the teachers by their first names. That's because some of those teachers taught him when he went to school. Ripplinger graduated from BHS in 1990. That created a little apprehension on his part when he accepted a job at BHS after teaching six years at Union County High School (he was that school's Teacher of the Year in 2000). "I think any time an educator returns to a school which they went to as a student, there's a tendency for their former instructors to maybe remember what they were like as teenagers," Ripplinger said. "Once I came, I quickly realized they saw me as a teacher and not as their chemistry student or their history student or their English student." It would seem natural that Ripplinger, who teaches senior government and economics (honors included) and junior American history, would become a teacher. His mother, Julia Ripplinger, is a teacher at Southside Elementary School. However, Ripplinger did not aspire to follow in his mother's footsteps at first. He saw the amount of work she had to do and some of the difficulties she had, so he said to himself there was no way he would become a teacher. Instead, Ripplinger went to Florida State University with the intention of majoring in business, but those intentions were "thrown out the window" after a semester, he said. He wasn't making the grade as a business major, so he switched his major to history and found r that he really enjoyed it. He earned a bachelor's degree in that field in 1994. . Ripplinger's father, 'Ed Ripplinger, suggested he obtain a teaching certificate, not necessarily with the idea of becoming a teacher, but to have something to fall back on if he * needed it. "I pursued a master's in (social science) education and ended up falling in love with it," said Ripplinger, who earned his degree in 1996. His internship did nothing to turn him from the path -of becoming a teacher. Ripplinger interned at St. Augustine High School under teacher Lauren Potter. She was the school's current Teacher of the Year and a co-department chair. She taught honors world history as well as dual-enrollment classes. "I really believe, through a variety of events, that the Lord opened and closed doors," Ripplinger said. "I've got a very strong faith and I believe God puts us in certain situations and directs us in certain paths of our lives. I never wanted to become a teacher. It took almost failing out of college to begin to move me toward that door. "Once I went through that door and went down that path, it has been, probably, the most rewarding career I could have asked for, even though it's not something I intended to go into." One 'of the rewards of that career has been watching students develop from the first day he has them in his classroom through the time they walk across stage at graduation. Many students will tell him they aren't capable of completing some of his required assignments, but Ripplinger said many will not only complete those assignments, but will end up doing much more than he. requires of them. "Many of them do not have a See TEACHER, p. 3C FrrJ EiTr 7'rrJgTTn rJ L tT Tr T, oenftal uffetf Grand Opening STAR KES BUFFET .^^ "-"v, OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK ....

With time running out, it I sounds like the turkeys won the I last couple of weeks. Although there were a couple of nice birds harvested recently in our area, many of our local turkey hunters, including me, are still looking for their first bird this spring. Some of the more veteran hunters are still looking too, so, don't get discouraged-not yet, anyway. t If we keep going out, we will have the opportunity. Bamboozled After each of my last three or four hunts, as I was walking back to the truck, wondering why I couldn't even hear any turkeys in the woods, I would see a turkey standing in the road, often right near my truck. Was this guy wanting a ride home or what? And, the real question is-are these critters on to us? Sometimes, I think the only real chance we may have is to sneak in an extra hunter-I act like I am leaving and leave the second guy in the,woods. After I drive off, maybe he will get a shot when the turkey comes out to wave good bye! A Comparison I always figured that deer could actually read the newspaper. I would always see deer everywhere-on dirt roads, in pastures, along fences-until the day bow season opened. Word travels fast. But, with turkeys, they do something a little differently. They don't completely disappear. They tease. They tantalize. Yes, unlike some deer, they hang around the general area. They leave tracks in the road, (usually right next to where you park your truck) and even cluck or gobble off in the distance, but they don't let you actually see them, at least up close. They love to stand 200-300 yards down the dirt road and just stare a hole in you. You freeze and then try to figure out what to do. And right there, while your brain is trying to decide whether you should slowly ease back or just sneak over to the side, the birds just walk off into the woods, disappearing from everywhere but your memory. Busted .. .again. There is Hope Frustration aside, there will be a day. Fortunately, most serious turkey hunters have had at least one bird do exactly what the hunter hoped for-he came when you called, he gobbled all the way in and he walked right up to your set-up. Boom. Hunt over. Easy. This time Reality Check Now, for the bad news. You can hunt 50 more times and possibly never have this happen again. This is something that turkeys do to get you irrevocably hooked. And it works. Boy howdy, it works. Ask any turkey hunter. What else would get an otherwise normal person out of a perfectly good bed way before daylight, give up at least two hours of good REM sleep, drive like a banshee to his favorite spot, crawl through the darkness (with a perfectly good flashlight in his pocket that he doesn't want to use-might spook the bird), set up a couple of plastic birds in total darkness, and then go sit at the base of a tree, scraping a piece of plexiglass and NOT swatting the mosquitoes that are eating his eyebrows and ears off-all of this in hopes that a male turkey will just come his way for a look? One good gobble, a hundred yards away, and all is well in the world. Yes, it is worth it. Ask any turkey hunter. Ten more days. Good luck.
