OEM urging residents to prepare for season

By JAMES REDMOND
Times Staff Writer
The Union County Office of
Emergency Management
(OEM) is urging all residents
to prepare now for this year's
hurricane season.
OEM Director Doug York is
urging all residents to make
their preparations in advance.
"Now is the time for residents
to make sure they have ample
supplies for the upcoming
hurricane season.," said York.
"Now till June 12 is a great
time for residents to do this."
Governor Jeb Bush has
signed a bill establishing a
sales tax holiday on disaster-
supply items to help Florida
residents prepare for the
season. According to York, it
is hoped the tax break will
motivate more Floridians to
make their preparations early.
Items exempt from tax include:
Flashlights $20 or less.
Weather radios, portable
radios or two-way radios $50
or less.
First aid kits $50 or less.
Gas or diesel fuel tanks
$25 or less.
*Flexible waterproof
sheeting $50 or less.
Ground anchor system or
tie-down kit $30 or less.
Regular types of portable
light batteries $30 or less.
Non-electrical food coolers
$30 or less.

Portable generatorsT75Tor-
less.
York said residents should
prepare a disaster supply kit so
they are ready in the event of
power outages. "The 2004
hurricane season has shown
that residents could be without
power for extended lengths of
time here in the county," said
York. "Residents need to make
provisions for such an event."
According to the
FloridaDisaster.org Web site,
the state's official information
Web site for disaster
information, a disaster supply
kit should consist of:
Water-at least one gallon
daily per person for three to
seven days.
Food-at least enough for
three to seven days. Food
items should include non-
perishable packaged or canned
food, snack foods and special
foods for infants or the elderly.
Items to prepare food such
as a non-electric can opener,
cooking tools, paper plates and A
plastic utensils.
Blankets tc
Clothing C
First aid kit
Medicines or prescription
drugs taken on a daily or
weekly basis.
Toiletries
Flashlight with batteries.
Battery-operated radio.
Cash

other activities to keep
children occupied.
The site also recommends
that vehicles be filled with fuel
before the arrival of the storm.
"It is unpredictable as to how
long gas stations will be closed
after a storm," said York. "By

filling your tank, you will be
sure to have enough gas to get
around to get additional
supplies after the storm."
The site also recommends
that families sit down to
discuss the types of hazards
that could face them. How

things like storm surge,.
flooding and wind could
damage your home should all
be discussed before a storm
arrives. Other things a family
plan should have are:

By JAMES REDMOND
Times Staff Writer
On, May, 2-3, .city of -Lake
Butler commissioners took the
first step toward changing the
city's commercial general
(CG) zoning laws.
Commissioners voted 5-0 to
approve a recommendation
from the planning and zoning
board to change some of the
definitions and wording of the
city's current CG zoning. City
Manager Richard Tillis said
the changes reflect city
commissioners' wishes to
update some older zoning
ordinances.
If approved, Ordinance 05-
04 would require some
businesses in CG zoning to

have their operations
completely enclosed in the
building they operate out of.
Businesses such as television
and radio repair shops and
automotive parts and
accessories stores would be
required to conduct their
business within the four walls
of their buildings.-T-he-zoning
would not allow them to store
anything outside their
buildings.
The ordinance moves some
businesses into the commercial
intensive (CI) zoning category
as well. Dry cleaning and
laundry packaging plants,
commercial parking lots and
garages, automotive self-
service stations and funeral
homes would all be moved to
the CI zoning category.

According to Tillis, Archer
Funeral Home on South Lake
Avenue will not be affected by
the changes. "They are zoned
commercial, central business
district (C-CBD)," said Tillis.
The zoning puts the business
far above its required zoning.
While the ordinance does
not move movie theaters or
community theaiifers nto-ther-C-
category, billiard parlors and
bowling alleys would be. Tillis
said the thinking behind this
move was that billiard parlors
and bowling alleys tend to
attract a different age group
than do movie theaters.
"There is a trend for these
establishments to serve
alcoholic beverages as well,"
said Tillis. "It was the board

thinking that these types of
establishments might be better
suited for CI zoning, away
from .r e s i d n.t i.a,..
neighborhoods."
As defined by current zoning
regulations, the CG.-category
is intended -for general retail
commercial, office and service
activities which serve a market
-area --larger than a
neighborhood. The definition
states that while some of the
same types of uses are found in
the commercial neighborhood
category, the CG areas are
generally greater in scale and
intensity.
The changes follow an
application from Terra Vesta
Group LLC to rezone four
acres in the southeast part of

the city. The group asked
commissioners to change the
zoning of the property located
at the corner of Southeast Fifth..
Avenue and Main Street-to CG
in April.
After reviewing the
application, some
commissioners felt the current
zoning regulations left
developers to much leeway.
They voted to continue the
request until such time as they,
could review the zoning
regulations.
On Monday, July 11, the
commissioners will conduct a
second reading of the
ordinance at which time it will

The 2005'Atlantic hurricane
season officially began June 1.
Hurricane forecasters are
predicting that 12 to 15
tropical storms will form in the
Atlantic Ocean this season. Of
those, seven to nine will
became hurricanes. Three to
five will become major
hurricanes.
A major hurricane is defined
as a hurricane that reaches
category three strength or
higher. A category three
hurricane contains winds in
excess of 111 mph.
With this prediction, York
wants those residents who
need to evacuate, to have a
plan in place. "When we give
the order to evacuate, people
need to already know where
they're going," said York. "It
is critical that families in
mobile homes and other homes
with structural issues know
where they are going when the
order comes."
In Union County, the only
approved hurricane shelter is
Union County High School.
Last year the facility served
more than 750 evacuees during
three different storms. While
he hopes the county is not in
need of it this season, York
said he wants people to know
what to bring in case they must
use it. "We want people to
bring the items necessary to
basically camp out for a couple
of days," said York.
These items include:
Pillows and blankets.
Sleeping bags.
Toiletry items including
tooth brush, soap and
shampoo.
Games and activities to
keep smaller children
occupied.
York is also asking residents
to have a plan in place for their
pets -as well: "'Unfortunately;
our shelter is not equipped to
handle animals," said York.
"They will not be allowed
inside the shelter."
FloridaDisaster.org
recommends that pet owners
look to specialized pet shelters,
animal control shelters,
veterinary clinics and friends
and relatives out of harm's
way to take care of their pet
during the storm.

Another
version of
'Fallen
Heroes'
Dear Editor:
The article Union County
honors its "Fallen Heroes" in
the Thursday, June 2, edition
appears to have been written by
a staff writer who was late for
the Memorial Day Program and
then failed to get the correct
information for the article.
A more accurate account of
the Memorial Day event might
read as follows:
On Monday, May 30, more
than 150 Union County
residents turned out at the
Veteran's Memorial in Lake
Butler to honor those deceased
veterans for service to their
country. The Memorial Day
remembrance took place at
Veteran's Memorial where the
names of the veterans of Union
County who made the ultimate
sacrifice are inscribed.
Memorial Day activities
were sponsored by the
American Legion Post 153 of
Lake Butler, with Post
Commander Leaman Alvarez
acting as master of ceremonies.
The National Anthem was
sung by Mary Weatherholt,
while Legionnaires Seabie
Rucker and Colon Cody raised
the flag. Members of the
Junior ROTC of Union
County High School formed
the Honor Guard.
The Rev. Dr. Harold
Hudson, pastor of Fellowship
Baptist Church of Raiford,
delivered the invocation.
The ceremony included a

rendition of America the
Beautiful by the Fellowship
Baptist Church Praise Singers.
The group consisted of Joyce
Cox, Peggy Cason, Leanan
Burney, Mary Weatherholt,
Gena Singletary, Nick Burke
and Roy Singletary.
First up to the speaker's
podium was Bill McGill, who
displayed a Civil War rifle that
had been donated to the Union
County Historical Society by
the Drigger's family. McGill
invited everyone to tour the
display of war artifacts that
were on display inside the
Masonic Lodge.
Lake Butler Fire Chief Mike
Banks then presented a plaque
to the Veterans of Foreign
Wars Post 10082 recognizing
the contributions of that
organization to the fire
department. VFW Post
Commander Sam Jenkins
accepted the plaque.
Diane Moore. daughter of
Chief Master Sergeant Thomas
Moore, was the guest speaker.
Chief Master Sergeant Thomas
Moore was a resident of Union
County, while serving in the
United States Air Force. In
1965, Sgt. Moore was serving
in Vietnam when he was taken
prisoner. Sgt. Moore is still
listed by the military as being
MIA/POW. Moore gave. a
tearful and heart rendering
account of what it has been
like for her as a daughter of a
MIA/POW.
At the conclusion of Moore's
presentation, Sam Jenkins,
Commander of V.F.W. Post
10082 presented Moore with an
American flag as a symbol of
the gratitude of the veteran's of
Union County for Sgt.
Moore's service and her

[

courage.
Keynote speaker for the
Memorial Day program was
retired Lieutenant Colonel
Buck Burney, Florida Air
National Guard. Lt. Col.
Burney served 30 years with
the Florida Air National Guard
and logged over 3,000 flying
hours as an F-15 and F-16
pilot. Lt. Col. Burney's last
command was with the
Southeastern Air Defense
Command at McDill Air Force
Base in Tampa.
Lt. Col. Burney gave a very
informative talk about the
history of Veteran's Day, how
the playing of "Taps" came
about and a very stirring
rendition of the words that
accompany the Bugles' sound.
Lt. Col. Burney also elaborated
on the next generation of
soldier, the youth of our
nation.
After Lt. Col. Burney's
speech, the memorial wreath
was placed at the memorial.
The wreath used was donated
by Else Greene in Memory of
her husband William J. Greene.
The wreath was placed at the
memorial by Legionnaires
Doyle Godwin and Ted Barber.
All those in attendance, were
called to present arms by
Alvarez. While everyone stood
at attention, Irvin Smith played
"Taps" in honor of our fallen
veterans.
The Rev. Art Peterson,
pastor of the First Christian
Church of Lake Butler closed
the program with the
benediction.
This is just my humble
opinion of how the article
should have read.

Editorial/Opinion

Thursday, June 8, 2005

Correction: Last week in our
story about Memorial Day, we
stated the VFW Post 10082 of
Lake Butler was responsible
for putting together the
ceremony. The American
Legion Post 153 of Lake Butler
was responsible for the
ceremony. Also Colon Coody
and Seabie Rucker were
identified as being members of
the VFW. They are members of
the American Legion. We
apologize for the error.

Memorial Day
2005, a
weekend to
remember
I am Diane Moore, daughter
of CMSGT Thomas Moore,
USAF POW MIA 10-31-
1965.Thank you for your great
article on Memorial Day
Remembrance. Here is what I
wrote after coming home.
I hardly know how to begin
to put into words the memories
that Memorial Day 2005 made
for me. I guess in some ways it
began with Memorial Day
2002.
In May 2002 I was filled
with emotions that were not
easy, ones that were stronger
than any other that I can
remember.
One night I awoke, got up
and sat down at my computer
and started typing, when I was
done I sent it out to some
friends, family and veterans
that I know. It was titled, "I am
the daughter of a forgotten
American Hero". Title as such
due to the wrenching heart
ache that men like my dad who
are still unaccounted for,
listed as Missing In Action
seem to be placed on the back
burner so to speak. Soon I was
receiving e-mails telling me it
truly hit home. My husband
told me it was a great piece of.
writing. I more or less
shrugged it off.
My father is Chief Master
Sergeant THOMAS MOORE,
USAF.POW MIA 10-31-1965
unaccounted for, South
Vietnam.
In many circles that phrase
tells it all, in many others the
term POW MIA means
nothing.
And goodness say Vietnam
and many all but snuff you out.
A piece of American history
that just soon to be forgotten
put aside and never be

mentioned. However there are
many who did great things
during Vietnam, men and
women who have stories that
have done things only few
dream about. Their families
patiently waiting at home for
their return. Then there are
others who waited at home,
only to find there would be no
return of their loved ones who
also did great things and were
not ever going to be able to
share stories.
That, I suppose is one
reason I wrote all the things I
did in my Memorial Day 2002
remembrance letter.
One place I shared my letter
with was with the POW
network, which Chuck and
Mary ---------------have, these
people have done remarkable
things in educating the public
about multiple items that deal
with our POW MIA issue.
Among a few is a book called
"More than a Band of Metal"
which I have the honor of
having my letter in, and they
keep it posted on their website.
Both of these resources have
brought many e-mails and
letters to me wishing me the
best in my endeavor for
seeking answers on my father.
And prayers and thoughts that
his remains be found and
returned home to American
soil. Along with all of these
wonderful letters have come
people who have had for many
years in their possession, POW
bracelets with daddy's name
engraved on them, who want
to give them to his family.
This humbles me, and often
brings me to tears. But all that
I hear from often makes me
feel it is a way that he has to
communicate.
This May however I think
brought to me a true desire. To
learn more about my dad as a
child. And again I owe my
thanks to Chuck and Mary and
the POW network.
On May 13th, I received a
phone call. Not one that I
expected in any way. It was
from a man who knew of my
dad and his family in a small
town in Florida. Sam was his
name I was speechless and my
heart was in my throat.,
He was apologizing for
calling, but he needed to know
if what he had only learned
was true. He had been to a
district VFW meeting that
weekend and heard my letter
of 2002.
He.was there with two other
men, who had also known my

dad.
We spoke for a few minutes
I told him yes to the question,
I was indeed the daughter of
one CMGST Thomas Moore
who was still POW MIA, there
was a moment of silence on
both sides of the telephone, a
little more talking and then we
exchanged info. Told me if I
wanted to talk more to please
call him, I told him I would.
I was stunned, to say the
least but happy to know. that
someone from my dads past
had reached out took a chance
-and called.
Yet another phone call
came the Friday before
Memorial Day, again it was
Sam, inviting me and my
family to their Hometown
Memorial day Remembrance
Ceremony. Well it was
actually on my answering
machine and before I had a
chance to listen to it all the
way through there was another
ring, and it was Sam, not only
was he inviting us to the
Memorial day ceremony, he
was asking if I would speak.
After that I suppose another
chapter in my life was made. I
agreed to come, said "I'm not
sure what you want me to say"
and his reply was read your
letter it will say it all.
The town of Lake Butler
Florida that's the place
Memorial day 2005 took place
for me, my husband and 5
year old grandson, whom I
might say is a namesake to his
grandfather and uncle. A trip
to my father's hometown, to
meet with people he knew and
did not know. For me it was
the latter, I did not know any
one.
We drove down the Sunday
the day before Memorial Day
Monday, May 30 2005.Six
hours in a car with a 5 year old
saying "Are we there yet"
made for the perfect'sequel to
the movie. He also kept saying
Africa instead of Florida, but
of course I with all the
swamps, moss and forest he
must have thought he was in
the jungle.
Lake Butler is a small town,
doesn't have a motel or hotel
no hurried pace. Did seem to
have changed much from the
last time I was there. Some 36
years ago. Last visit I was a
young teenager. After that both
of my dad's parents died. No
reason to go back.
We stayed,in the Motel 6n ,
Lake City, again not so

exciting for adults, but to this
grandson of mine, he was in
the extreme excited mode.
Thought the HUGE shower
that was shaped like a half
circle was Amazing, even
called him mom on the c-
phone while standing in the
shower to tell her about it.
Kids aren't they great, I am
sure his great grandpa would
think so.
But as years do, I began to
seek for answers to many
questions that were not able to
be given by my family. I
needed to know more about
the place where my dad grew
up and the people he had
been friends with.
What he was like as a child
and a teenager but not by
family. Of course I never
thought I would find those
answers. We left the Motel 6
in Lake City and drove 21
miles to Lake Butler. Just to
make sure of course we had no
problems finding it Monday
morning by 10 AM.
And only after a small,
oops wrong way we did. I
told my grandson that this little
town was where his great
grandpa grew up, and that he
had lived here many years
earlier.
I was telling him of his
legacy, one that so far has been
about a man who went away to
war, and did not come home.
And that the POW MIA flag is
important. (He calls it the great
grandpa flag and I guess in
some aspects it is).
We went to a very old
cemetery, and visited his great
great grandfather burial place,
to the town war Memorial and
to the lake, a big dark lake
(Lake Butler). Which I told
him I am sure his great
grandpa swam in.
Back to the motel 6, after
supper, and into bed.
Memorial Day Monday
came and went to fast.
The services were
wonderful, held at the towns
War Memorial, which has the
names of the hometown fallen.
Color guard, rising of the
flag, the National Anthem,
Opening prayer, stage all
decorated with Red White and
"Blue banners. So many nice
people who came up to me and.
my husband. Many of whom
knew my dad, who were his
friends as a boy and young
man, and even a cousin or two
of my dad.
After all the speaking,
which I managed to get
through my part with
minimum tears. And at the End
was presented with a folded
flag.
We were then invited to
attend a hot dog and
hamburger feast at the VFW
post 10082.When we arrived at
the.post we were welcomed ,
with hugs and handshakes, it
was as if I had known these
men and women all my life.
There was at no time a feeling
of not belonging.
Chris was absolute the best
grandpa, and husband at this
time, he fed Tyler our
grandson, and allowed me to
visit and talk with the men
who had grown up with daddy.
Of course I found out later,
Tyler had 4 hot dogs and half a
- hamburger, two cupcakes, a

load of chips, and what
appeared to be gallon of ice
tea. And was the only 5 year
old in the VFW post, but
treated like he was everyone's
great grandson.
During the course of many
conversations, I heard stories
of my dad as a child, and
teenager, and my
grandparents. But the greatest
was to watch the eyes and
expressions of those telling
them. There were tears, and
smiles, and love and pride
shared among them all.
Memories that should have
long since faded from them,
but some how was able to be
brought to surface as if they
were kids yesterday.
I have learned much about
my dad from my mother, and
her family, and of course know
. the story of his capture, prior,
and during by Cm Sgt. Jasper
Page, the only one of the four
who was able to successfully
escape.
But never knew much about
him from his family. Now I
have more understanding of
how he ticked. I learned
where a lot of my personality
comes from. And more people
telling me how much I
resemble him.
There was so much
happening it was more difficult
to have to leave than I thought
it would be. I feel that they did
not want to end it either.
With multiple times of
telling we have to go, we did.
Only with promises to return,
to take more time to find out
secretes of long ago that is so
desperately needed by me.
I believe I have only opened
the door slightly to my father,
but will completely open it.
Not only for me but to pass on
to the youngest generation.
The saying goes; "you can
not know who you are, until
you know where you come
from" is more than a saying.
For those of us who have lost
loved ones in war, finding
those who knew our fathers is
important, but most of all it
helps with childhood
nightmares.
For me the daughter of a
man still Missing in Action
this has turned in to a beautiful
dream that has just begun to
happen.
I can not explain the feelings
that have surfaced for me to
find people who knew my dad
in a small iown'that hardly "'
anyone knows; .. ..

A brief

history of the

Lake Butler

Singles Club
In late 1980s, Lake Butler
was a quiet little town with the
usual amenities, but lacking in
organizations for one segment
of its people, the mature
population without a spouse,
for whatever reason.
Society as a whole doesn't
recognize the problems
engendered by the loss of a
spouse, and usually leave the
person that has lost his or her
husband or wife to shift for
himself or herself. It's all too
true; the half of a couple left
living is a fifth-wheel in social
circles, and even friends and
neighbors with the best of
intentions, cannot fully
understand the loss, until it
comes to his home.
Lake Butler had a number of
people falling into the category
of being alone with no social
outlets, feeling alone and
unwanted, a common feeling
for singles, but the Lake Butler
Singles determined to do
something about the situation.
They decided to hold a party.
This small group had been
attending Singles Clubs in
Keystone Heights, Orange
Park, Palatka and Gainesville,
providing them with a roster of
similarly situated people in the
area.
Bill Barber and Milton Clark
(Macclenny residents) rented
the Community Center in Lake
Butler, and invited singles from
the area. The party/dance was .
held June 9, 1990, attracting
singles from a large area in
north-central Florida, and
proved to be quite successful.
The building was rented again
for the succeeding Saturday
night, and the Lake Butler
Singles Club was organized
and underway. It has been a
successful venture for 15 years
providing fellowship and
camaraderie for persons without
partners, and in a few cases,
brought couples together in
marriage. Club members that
have found marriage partners
are allowed to continue
membership in the club, but
cannot hold elective office.
Members Milton Clark, Bill
Barber, Doris RiChard, Bob
Wellington and Kenneth Turner
loaned the fledgling club $100
each, and Pete Dukes loaned
$50. The loans were repaid

within a few weeks, and the
club has operated "in the black"
for 15 years.
Fortunately, Saturday nights
were available for Lake Butler
to hold its meetings, and this
has proven beneficial to
drawing good attendance. Dues
and fees have been kept

minimal to attract singles of
modest means. Dues are $12
per year, with two "free"
nights, and $6 per evening ($7
for non members) to pay
operating costs. The club
spends about $500 per night to
hold a dance, with $350 going
for a live band, and $80.25 for
rent on the building. Women
(and some men) bring "pot-
luck" food for dinners, and are
awarded with free entrance the
following week if their names
are drawn. The club furnishes
coffee, paper goods and other
supplies, including soft drinks.
Members and guests normally
drink 2530 two litre bottles of
soft drinks each evening.
Attendance has held steady at
95-110 for the past several
years, drawn from eight area
counties. Invitations to attend
are not required, but reasonable
attire is expected. Neither
drinking nor smoking is
allowed inside the building.
The club is proud of the
decor and behavior of its
patrons.

A job with a six-figure
income may sound like a dream
job, but Cindy Snell found
herself wanting more-no:
more money, but more from
life.
With that in mind, Sneli
returned to school after a
lengthy absence, completed her
education and now has the jot
of educating others, which has
turned out to be her dream job.
"It's just a lot of fun," said
Snell, who teaches mathematics
at the Santa-Fe Community
College Andrews Center and
Middleburg High School. "I
enjoy it."
Snell, who is a 1979 Bradford
High School graduate, enjoys
trying to create an excitement in
her students about learning.
That's because she also gets
excited about learning new
things.
"I just wake up every
morning with a passion and
drive for learning," Shell, said.
"It's just in my blood. I have to
turn on the news and find out
what's new. I have to look oni
the Internet and say, 'OK, what
do I want to learn about
today?'"
Snell has been teaching at
Santa Fe for two years and at
Middleburg High School for
seven years. You could say
there is some teaching in her
blood, for her grandmother,
Hilda Griffith, was a teacher in
a one-room, schoolhouse in
Theressa. In fact, Snell has in
her possession the hand bell her
grandfiother used in her class.
"I always told her one day
I'm going to ring this bell in my
classroom," Snell said. "Of
course, the bells they have now
are just so loud the-- kids
probably wouldn't hear it."
Teaching, -however, was not
something Snell began pursuing
until she was approximately 30.
One bof her goals .as to
compete in the Ol mpics. She
was a long-distance runner.
.competing in both cross country
and track and field at Bradford
High School.
Snell went to Santa Fe on an
athletic scholarship, but an
injury-and marriage derailed her
Olympic dreams, as well as that
of continuing school beyond
Santa Fe. She married at the age
of 19 to a military man, which
had her traveling often-in
excess of 20 times.
S It. \'as -during that time that
Snell started her own house-
cleaning business. It began with
a modest proposal as Snell told
a friend of hers that if she
would tell two people about the
business, she would clean her
house for free once. From there,
the business grew from one
customer to 47 in a span of six
weeks-.- Snelt -also had two
commercial contracts.
Her income went from zero
to six, figures, but Snell
admitted she felt stagnated. She
was all alone, working in the
silence of other people's homes.
"It wasn't fulfilling for me,"
Snell said. "I needed to feel like
I could make a difference. I
think that's one of the main.
reasons I went back to college,
so I could make a difference
and give someone else that
same desire I have for
learning."
Snell made the decision to go
back to school in 1990. She
attended California Lutheran
University and found herself in
an awkward situation. She sat
down in a literature class to find
computers at every desk. The
instructor asked the students to
boot up their computers and
Snell had no idea what that
even meant.
"I felt this wave of fear," she
said. "All this time I felt like I
had this knowledge of things in

"Grow Old Along with Me

Unlike the,English poet Robert

some misgiving and
apprehension, fearful of the
things advancing age may bring.

commissioners
to focus on our
real needs
Dear Editor:
Something has got to be
wrong with someone who is-
doing everything in his power
to waste taxpayers money.
County Commissioner John
Hersey is trying to convince
the other commissioners and
anyone else that we would
benefit from a satellite office in
the eastern part of the county.
He is saying that it will only
cost the taxpayers $35,000
dollars and the additional
employee that it will take will
be furnished by one of the
other constitutional officers.
First, even he is not stupid
enough to believe that will be
the ultimate cost of this mess.
Second, are we not supposed
to be putting taxpayers money
into the Santa Fe Community
College to teach junior college
students, not to expand, the
operations of county
government?
It's enough that Mr. Hersey
influenced the majority of the
county commission to double
the monies for use in
conjunction with the volunteer
fire departments.'
Two questions: Has it
improved the operations and
effectiveness of the fire
departments? Has there ever
been a building saved?
Additional, we don't have fire
protection for the entire
county. What about the first
district? Instead of pouring
money into what we don't
have, shouldn't we be trying to
sgie the ta\paN er some real fire
protection?
Our courthouse is within 10
or 15 minutes of any part of
the county and for the most
part the vast majority of us
only have to go there once a
year. A lot of us probably
should go there more often just
to see how our money is being
wasted.
Before Mr. Hersey tries to
waste any more of our money,
maybe he should ask the,
taxpayers how they feel about
it. But on the other hand how
can we expect someone who.
".has been in the public trough,
most of his. ,adult life to
understand how a taxpayer feels
who has worked hard all his or
her life, about wasting taxes.
While on the subject of the
public trough, it is unfortunate
to have someone who retired
from government employment
and has moved into our county
and trying to bring the reign of
terror of the department, of
environmental regulations on
us because we choose to burn a
wood pile instead of taking it
to a land fill.
--Look around you, most of
what you will see is timber,
now tell me what should we do
with it when the timber is
harvested? If you don't like
Bradford-County so much,
maybe you should move back
to Alachua County.
Finally, What is it going to
take to get count) management
to focus on our' real needs?
Better roads, cleaner ditches,
Less government intrusion into
our private lives and saving the
taxpayer a little money now
and then.

People urged

to make

preparations
for hurricanes
Florida Commissioner of
Agriculture and Consumer
Services Charles H. Bronson is
reminding residents to take
steps to protect their homes,
pets and livestock now that the'
2005..hurricane season is under
way.
"After last year's horrific
hurricane season, people are
taking storm preparations very.
seriously," Bronson said. "But
while people are stocking up
on batteries, food and water, we
want to be sure other critical
issues are also addressed,
including their animals."
The Florida Department of
Agriculture and Consumer
Services includes the Division
of Animal Industry, which
assists citizens in evacuating
livestock, provides assistance
to farmers after a storm, and
helps people find pet-friendly
shelters and hotels. The
Departmerntalso. oversees food
safety as well as the safe sale,

use, storage, handling and'
transportation of propane gas.
Bronson is providing some
tips for residents to use to'
prepare for the hurricane
season:
Propane Gas
-If forced to evacuate, turn
off the propane tank service
valve and the shut-off valve on
all propane appliimces.
Appliance and equipment
controls that have been under
water should be inspected by
the gas company and the
controls replaced prior to being
put back into service.
Food Safety
Stock up with foods that
require no refrigeration,
preparation or cooking.
All food contaminated by
flood water (except undamaged
metal cans), should be discarded.
Undamaged cans as well
as refrigerators, counters,
cookware dishes and glassware
contaminated by flood water
should be washed, rinsed and
sanitized in a solution of .2
teaspoons of unscented
household bleach per gallon of
room-temperature potable
water. -
-.Keep 'several gallons of
bottled water available. If under
a boil-water notice, do not use

tap water or make ice without
bringing the water to a rolling
boil for at least one minute.
Environmental
Store lawn chemicals and
fertilizers off the'ground in a
location that is not subject to'
flooding.
Pets and Small Animal
Safety
Keep. ID tags and
vaccinations up to date.
Prepare a pet survival kit,
including food for two weeks, a
manual can opener,
medications, a pet carrier,
bedding, and vaccination
records.
If you plan to board a pet,
make written arrangements in
advance, well before a storm
threatens.
Contact hotels and motels
along your evacuation route to
check policies on accepting
pets and keep the list handy.
The Humane Society of
the United States (HSUS) has
prepared a helpful brochure
"Disaster Preparedness for
Pets," which can be accessed
on the web at
http://www.hsus.org/ace/18732
Horses and Livestock
.Keep vaccinations and
other health requirements up to
date.

If' possible,- make
arrangements in advance for
evacuation of horses. Know
where you can take your horses
for shelter along your
evacuation route. Make 'sure
your horse trailer is "ready to
go" or other transport
arrangements are prepared well
in advance. Carry your
vaccination record and health
papers with you.
If not evacuating, make
sure animals have access to
high ground in case of
flooding.
Check all gates, fences
and enclosures for loose parts
and overall sturdiness.
S--- Secure equipment, small
sheds and other items that may
become flying debris and injure
animals.
Price-gouging
It is illegal in Florida to
charge excessive prices for
essential items such as gas,
food, ice, lumber and lodging
following a declaration of
emergency by the governor.
Residents should report any
price-gouging by calling 1-
800-HELPFLA.
Post-disaster Scams
Con artists may prey on
residents- who suffer home

damage by offering to repair
the damage with materials
leftover from a previous job.
Citizens can protect themselves
by checking with the local
building department or with the
Florida Department of Business
and Professional Regulation to
make, sure the contractor is
licensed. They should also ask
for and verify local references.
Charity scams often
surface following a disaster.
Before you give, ensure that
the charity is registered with
the Florida Department of
Agriculture and Consumer
Services by calling 1-800-
HELPFLA. Never give cash
and always write checks
payable to the organization,
not an individual.
Bronson says consumers
who are educated about the
potential dangers a natural
disaster presents to health,
home and pocketbook are more
likely to avoid being harmed or
victimized by scam artists.
Consumers can find out more
about food safety tips and
animal welfare information by
logging on to the Department's
web site at
http://www.doacs.state.fl.us
and checking but the Division
of Food Safety, and the

Division of Animal Industry
which lists pet-friendly
shelters.

Congrats
organizers;
shame
sheriff's
department
Dear Editor:
Congratulations to the
organizers of the Battle of the
Bands fundraiser for a skate
park in Keystone Heights.
Shame, shame on the Clay
County Sheriff's Department
deputies who used their
position of authority and
muscle over their need for
knowledge, skill and ability to
exercise common sense and
crowd control.
It was obvious that -the,
sheriff's department needs to
have some in-service training
sessions on crowd control and
dealing with the youth
population before working
another Battle of the Bands
concert.
I guess that when they felt
that the dancing was getting
out of hand, it never occurred
to them to cut the music. That
usually st6ps the dancing,
quiets the room and allows for
a quiet moment in which to
clarify what is acceptable and
what is not acceptable
behavior.
Going up behind a dancer on
a crowded dance floor while the
dancer is in a music frenzy and
grabbing him by he shoulder is
just not the proper approach;
and usually ends badly. And so
it did at Keystone Beach on
Saturday, June 4, 2005.

delight in
town of
Lawtey fest
Dear Editor:
The little town of Lawtey
had a festival this past
weekend. If you went there I
know you enjoyed yourself. I
live just a few miles away and
I spent the entire weekend
there.
This. is just the second year
they've had the festival, it is
small but already twice as large
as last year with a lot more
folks coming out. Next year I
know it will be even better.
I listened to great local
music all the time, including
wonderful singing by everyone
at Sunday's open air church
service. Both days the mayor
and his staff were out working
and keeping company with

Someone who had evidently
lived in a lot of places
remarked to me that this was
the first town he had ever been
in where the mayor came by

was an old friend of the family.
The kids all played in the town
park, the food was great, and
the whole experience was like
you had a huge family and they
all attended the family reunion.
If you aren't familiar with
the goings-on in Lawtey and
its immediate area, you should
know that this is the norm for.
this town.

It seems like everyone
knows everyone else, they all
try to help each other when
they can, and boy, do they love
their kids. They have problems
like any other small town, but
they do their best to work them
out, and if you're having
difficulties they will do what
they can to make it easier-for
you.
Our world has gotten so
crowded and in many ways
uncaring, but a visit to this
little jewel in Bradford County
will make you feel good again
to know there are still a few
wonderful little places like this
left for us to enjoy.

Shira and Turney are wed,
celebrate 3rd anniversary

Amy Marie Shira, daughter of
i the late Wallace Dean Shira and
Janet Lucretia Shira of Lawtey
was wed to Robert Orville Lynn
Turney of Keystone Heights on
June 15, 2002. The groom is the
son of George Turney of South
Bend, Indiana and the late Grace
Lacy of Jacksonville. The bride's
illness kept the couple from
announcing their wedding'at an
earlier date.
The couple exchanged rings
in the First Baptist Church of
Keystone. The ceremony was
medieval in style.
Attendants wore medieval
gowns and doublets. The bride
wore a gold crown with attached
veil and carried a white basket

of Scottish thistles and bells of
Ireland. All the attendants'
gowns and the bridal gown
were hand-made by the bride's
sister, Mary Gifford of Lawtey.
Celtic and inspirational
music played during the serv-
ice. The couple tied two ribbons
into a bow symbolizing unity,
an idea given by a friend.
Unfortunately, on their third
anniversary, now the groom
faces a serious health problem.
But with the bride and the
couple's faith at his side, the
bride rests assured he will get
through it and sends a message:
"Happy Anniversary, Robert. I
love you very much. Amy."

March 18, 1951 June 17, 2002
Dearest Daddy,
God saw you were getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
so he put his arms around you,
and whispered "Come with me.
With tearful eyes we saw you suffer
and watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to
us,
he only takes the best.
It's lonesome here without you.
We miss you more each day.
Life doesn't seem the same
since you went away.
When days are sad and lonely,
and everything goes wrong,
we seem to hear you whisper,
cheer up and carry on.
Each time we see your picture,
you seem to smile and say,
"Don't cry, I'm in God's hands,
We'll meet again someday."
A million times we've missed you.
A million times we've cried.
If love could have saved you,
you never would have died.
Love always,

No arrests in
bank robbery
All leads are being followed
in the investigation of last
week's robbery at a Starke
bank.
"We are attempting to
identify the suspect, but at this.
time we have not made an
arrest," Lt, Barry Warren said.
"We are looking into a robbery
that occurred in an other
jurisdiction where the robber
used a similar method. It could
be the same suspect," Lt.
Warren said.
....--Mercantile Bank in Starke
was robbed Tuesday, May 31,-
at approximately 12:28 p.m. of
an undisclosed amount of U.S.
currency.
A lone black male presented
a handwritten note to the teller
demanding money, but never
displayed a weapon, Lt. Warren
said. The money given to the
robber was in $50s and $100s,
Lt. Warren said. The suspect
took the note with him when
he left the scene in an
unknown type, large four-door
vehicle, possible cream or light
beige in color, travelling south
on Orange Street.
Arriving on the scene several
minutes after the robbery,
police stopped all traffic and
searched the area, but failed to
find the robber, Lt. Warren
said.
The suspect was described as
being in his mid 30s to early
40s. He is estimated to be 240
to 250 lbs. and 6'2" to 6'4"
tall. He was wearing a long,
sleeve pull-over shirt with
three to four buttons at the top
and gray sweat-type-pants, Lt.
Warren said.
Anyone with information is
asked to contact SPD at 964-
5400.

the events involved are all
clearly contained on audio tape,.
Officer Hooper,-i4-particular, at-
least in my view, should be
commended for his restraint
under circumstances that could
easily have resulted in fatal
injuries," Cervone said.
Charges are pending against
Buffington, Cervone said. That
decision will not be made until
prosecutors receive additional
information about her medical.
status, Cervone said.

:how to do something," Snell
said. "That's a barrier I try to
break through with the kids
who enter my class the first daN
because they have that fear of
Siath. I want them to walk in on
the first day and feel
comfortable."
Snell said she looks for those
students-especially in her high
school classes-who are the
least interested in being in her
class. She tries to show them
how what she is teaching
applies to real life.
-"If you can apply it to
something .in real life.
something that is actually going
on, then they're really going to
be excited about it,"''-Snell said.
Snell spent some time living
S. and leaching in Hawaii before
moving back to Florida. She
accepted a temporary position
at Bradford High School (she'
mosed into the area during the
S middle of the school year)
before being hired at
Middleburg.
She began teaching at Santa

out.' That's sort of how it came
Sabout-and I've been here e er
since." Snell said. "I just lose
it."
Snell has two
children-Jonathon. 22, and
Shannon, 20-and her husband,
Gylum, is stillby her side,
thanks to Snell donating one of
her kidneys to him.
There was no question that
she wanted to donate a kidney
to- her husband if she could,.
Snell said. She recalled the
death of her father to cancer 1 I
years ago and how she could do
nothing to help him.
She did not want to
experience that feeling of
helplessness again.
"I told the doctor I wanted to
be tested as a possible donor."
she said. -
The doctor told her chances

would be a good match. but

Twice the fun...

The city of Lawtey hosted its
second Trail Ridge Festival last
weekend in Tatum Bros. Park,
expanding the event from one
day, as last year's inaugural
event was, to two.
Food, vendors, music and the
crowning of Little Mr. and Miss
Trail Ridge and Mr. and Mrs.
Trail Ridge were part of the
festivities, which coincided with
the Yulee Railroad Days
festivals taking place in various
towns.

Awards were handed out, as
well. Kathy Brown won the
chicken-and-rice cook-off,
while Steve Norris, with two
separate entries, took second
and third. Norris also won the
dessert bake-off, with Olivia
Scott placing second.
Booth awards were presented
to Morgan Sawyer Violins
(arts), RBH Seasonings
(commercial), Serendipity
(craft) and Catty Shack
(exhibit).

Community helps make

child's dream come true

By CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
Shands at Starke laboratory
employees decided to turn
attention away from themselves
during National Laboratory
Week and focus the spotlight on
the community in which h they)
work.
The result? A dream, come
true for 3-year-old Joseph Birt
and his family.
Birt, who is called Jo-Jo by
those who know him, will enjoy)
a trip to Disney World thanks in'
part to a fundraiser held by the
Shands at Starke laboratory
employees and the Dreams
Come True organization, which
serves children who have been
diagnosed with life-threatening
illnesses. Jo-Jo is currently
battling leukemia.
Angela Birt, Jo-Jo's mother,
said Jo-J6 is looking forward to
the trip, whicrw'i-ll occur in
July, but he's not the onlh one.

The trip will provide the.
family-Jo-Jo's parents
(Angela and Gene), his sister
(Katie) and Angela's parents
(Lydia and 'William Phillips)
and sister (Rusti Lynn)-a
chance to get away from
doctors and the hospital for a
Vihile and spend a fun %\eek
together
"It means a lot to us.'" Angela
said. "We're having dreams
about this so-called 'dream.'"
Dreams Come True is a
nonprofit organization in which h
100 percent of its donations go
toward "dream fulfillment."
The Shands at Starke laboratory
staff helped with Jo-Jo's .dream
by hosting a "Bargain Barn"
fundraiser in .the hospital's
atrium. The event raised
$2,606.50.
"The whole community and
hospital just really supported
us," said lab employee Linda
Bowen.
Bowen and co-worker JudN
Jones were responsible for

planning something for
National Laboratory Week.
They decided it would be better
to have some type of benefit for
the community rather than
"patting each other on the
back," Bowen said. .
It was Bowen's husband,
Dan. who suggested they
contact Dreams Come True to
see if they could help in any
way. She called and. talked to.,
Lynn Read, director of the
Gaines' ille office of Dreams
Come True. Read told Bowen
no child from Bradford Counts
had been nominated (a
physician has to nominate a
child for a dream, but any
money raised could be set aside
until such a child was?
nominated.
With no particular person in
mind, Shands laboratory
employees distributed fliers
throughout the county and
visited local restaurants. A visit
to Cedar. Ri'er led to. the
discovery of Jo-Jo and his
condition. The. restaurant
'accepted monetary donations in
a jar to help the Birt family pay
for Jo-Jo's medical expenses.
Bowen said she called Read-
and asked about how Jo-Jo
could be nominated for a
dream. It just so happened that'
Jo-Jo had recently been
,nominated by his physician.
.The Bargain Barn now had a
face to. go along with it. The

By CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
From one trying time to
another, life has not been easy
for Starke resident Angela Birt
and her family in the last 15
months, but she clings to her
faith and believes she and her
family will once again
experience a "normal" life.
Birt was on the cusp of
entering remission from cancer
when she found out her 3-year-
old. son, Joseph (Jo-Jo), also
had the disease. What should
have been a time of triumph
turned into despair.
"I was in remission," Birt
said. "In our hearts, we were
feeling like we're fixing to get a
normal life. It just felt like we
got crushed again."
However, that despair has not
lingered. Birt can look at her
own battle and see that there is
hope for her little boy.
"God. pulled me through it
and we know that he's going to
pull (Jo-Jo) through it." Birt
said. "That's the only way we
make it through this-we have
faith in God."
Angela, who also has a 4-
year-old daughter (Katie), was
diagnosed with Hodgkin
lymphoma in March 2004. Jo-
Jo was diagnosed with leukemia
in November. Now Angela has
to watch her son go through the
same thing she went through.
"I dread taking him to get
chemo because I know (how it
is)," she said.

It was apparent to Angela and
her husband, Gene, that
something was wrong with Jo-
Jo prior to his diagnosis. He'
was always sick and his
condition never improved. Then
one day Angela, while in the
hospital, got a call that Jo-Jo
had been picked up from
Northside Christian Academy
and was being taken to the
hospital because of the presence
of petechia-little purple
'bumps on the skin's surface as
the result of a low number of
platelets.
Since being diagnosed with
.leukemia, Jo-Jo has undergone
four blood transfusions and five
platelet transfusions. Every two
to three weeks Jo-Jo must spend
time in a hospital for

treatments. Every four weeks he
is put to sleep while he
undergoes a type of
chemotherapy in which a drug
is injected into his spine.
Even when he is at home, Jo-
Jo undergoes chemotherapy.
Every night he takes one drug
by mouth and once a week he
takes a second drug by mouth.
* The chemotherapy treatments
can leave Jo-Jo feeling very
sick at times, but, for the most
part, Angela said her son acts
like any normal boy.' His
experience, however, seems to
have matured him.
"He acts a little grown up
now because he's around adults
all the time," Angela said. "He

Shands at Starke laboratory
staff had booths set up at the
Bradford County Fair and
Strawberry Festival, informing
the public of the fundraiser.
Dan Bowen also helped
promote the event. He teamed
up with "Hay U," the Bowens'
dog, to entertain people at the
Strawberry Festival. Hay U
performs atop a large inflated
ball and he proved to .be a
popular attraction.
"That was real positive PR
for us," Linda Bowen said.
People were asked to donate
various items for the Bargain
Barn-CDs, books, -movies,
toys, clothing, jewelry,
collectibles, kitchen supplies,
etc. Bowen said the response
was tremendous. The number of
items donated reached a point
where an unused room in the
hospital had to be used to store
items because the laboratory
was running out of room.
The response was also great
in the number 6f people who
attended the Bargain Barn,
which was held on April 29.
Bowen said people were lining
u'p outside the hospital, waiting
to get inside.
"It was a steady flow of
people all day long," Bowen
said.
The highlight of the Bargain
Barn was when Jo-Jo and his
family showed up, Bowen said.
She told each family member
they could help themselves to
anything they saw they liked at
the fundraiser.
"It took Joseph about five
seconds to find a mechanical
robot," Bowen said.

Antiques expert finds

and preserves the past

By LINDA ZCHORR
Telegraph Staff Writer
An eastward stroll along Call
Street's historical business
district in Starke will soon lead
the walker to the city's edge,
but not until they have passed
three major antique shops' .
Sisters Antiques & Gifts,
.Forget Me Not Antiques &
Gifts and Scarlett's Southern
Accents are all within a stone's
throw of each other.
The pale-yellow and rusty-
brown colored store front of
Scarlett's can be found sitting
quietly at the far right end of

the building. Glass display
windows flank the front doors,.
revealing a dimly-lit scene
enclosing stained glass
windows, a potted flower and
sculptures of a rooster and a
whimsical young boy tending to
a garden.
Owner Debbie Mize proudly
told the tale of how her store
came about.
Mize has been doing antiques
since 1977. She started in

building went on the market.
She bought the building around
seven years ago, then

completely restored it.
Scarlett's enclosing building,
an antique in itself, went up in
1898 and evolved from a horse
stable to an armory until it
encompassed Stump's
department store for many
years. Mize was pleasantly
surprised when, during the
festival, the daughter of the past
department store owner popped
into her shop. This was Mize's
first in-person meet with the
charitable Lillian Stump. As the
saying goes, said Mize, "If you
want something done, she's the
woman to go to."

"I just teared up," she said.

executive director of Dreams
Come True, said experiencing a
dream often provides the first
.laugh a child has enjoyed in

months.
The dreams really work in
two ways, Crittenden said.'
First, they give children with
life-threatening illnesses
something positive to look
forward to. Second, they
provide the children with
lasting, happy memories.
"Basically, a dream (come
true) is the best medicine you
can think of," Crittenden said.

B, JOHN WHITFIELD
C,r,.,igy Outdoors Editor
"Iculd only iniaine "
This ,..:.i t":! line from a
,',)e by the .:'up Mercy Me,
sung by lead singer Bart
Millard, could also say a lot
about i,!ingc. Just imagine
catching that big one and
r:nding out that it may be a
record fish.
Imagine
For a moment, just imagine
you are sitting out on your dock
or you are out in a little cove in
your boat, with a Bream Buster
telescoping pole or even a cane
pole, soaking a nice, fat red
wiggler as you do. a 'little
relaxing bream fishing. All of a
sudden, something grabs your
line and jerks your arm like a
teenager looking for money.
Only. this time, imagine it is
either a shellcracker or
redbreast bream that weighs 10
pounds (the Florida state record
for redear sunfish is 4.86
pounds and 2.08 pounds for
redbreast)!
Someone once said that if
shellcrackers (or redbreast)
weighed 10 pounds, no one
would ever get one into the
boat. Well said. We are talking"
aggressive fish here. Both
species of bream are, ounce for
ounce, hard to top .for
freshwater action.
Catching these fighters is a
great deal of fun and also a
good way to get a kid hooked

ready for a hard pull and a fight
all the way in.
And, these are great eating,
too.

THE bass
Take a good look at Carl
Hidalgo's beautiful bass caught
recently (see accompanying
photo). This gorgeous wall
'hanger weighed 10.5 pounds
and was one of the larger fish
caught in our area this year.
Any of us would be very proud
and happy to land such a great
fish. Congratulations, Carl.
Now consider that the long-
standing world record bass was
roughly TWICE that size-22
pounds, 4 ounces. Wow!
It was June 2, 1932, at
Montgomery Lake, Ga. When
George Perry cast in his Creek
Chub lure and hooked up with
this monster, he did not know
he was about to become a piece
of fishing history. One of the
longest-standing records of any
North American fish species,
Perry's largemouth bass record
has held first place for 73 years.
Many fishermen think this
record may never be broken,
but look at what has happened
in California. It has been
reported that there have been at
least three bass caught in that
state, all weighing more than 21
pounds (details available on
request). This does not include.
the controversial Duclos fish,
This fish, reported to weigh
an even 24 pounds, was caught
by Scott Duclos, of Santa Rosa,
Calif., in Spring Lake, and he
said he photographed the fish
and released it back into the
lake. He also indicated, at the
time, he thought the world
record was in the 27-pound
range ,and did not think of a
possible record. Oops, talk

management areas throughout
Florida.
To apply for these permits,
visit any license agent or tax
collector's office, or submit an

application online at

about a million dollar mistake.
Whenever someone does
catch an "Official World
Record" bass in the California
lakes, which are mostly just
north. of Los Angeles, the
controversy will probably never
end, as these fish are reported to

actually be descendants of
transplanted Florida bass that
have been fed fingerling trout
their whole lives.
Could it be worse than one of
those old boxing titles split five
ways? Talk about a "split
decision." Outdoor writers
would tire of using the asterisk
key. How about this line:
"California angler John Doe
catches new world record
FLORIDA bass, 24 pounds*"
(*Bass originally from Florida,
the Fresh water Bass Capital of
the World).
Maybe if they transplanted
our shellcrackers and redbreast
to California, fed them some
irradiated mealy bugs and half-
pound grasshoppers, they would
finally get that 10-pound
bream!
From FLORIDA.
I could only imagine
*The Florida (certified)
largemouth bass record is 17.27
pounds, from an unnamed lake
in Polk County, caught on July
6, 1986 by Billy O'Berry.

ANTIQUE
Continued from p. 4C

One hundred years was the
age marker decided by
Congress in the 1930s to
determine if an object met the'
criteria for being an antique, the
shop owner said.
Mize works devotedly with
customers one-by-one over
coffee and tea to find and
preserve pieces of pasts.
Assistant Kimberly Rinehart
keeps the shop looking it's best
and does the inventory.
Perhaps the mere names of
the. hometowns of Mize's recent
drawing winners. proves just
how far antique mania has
spread. Up for grabs atthe
recent Strawberry Festi% al were
Mize's quilts and a stained
glass; the collectibles were
proudly carried home to
winners' from Lake City and
Jacksonville Beach,
respectively.
Mize says the best thing
about the antique business for
her is getting to meet new

people. In her travels, she has
learned that people like things
that have a heritage to it and
things that are unique.
Rather than there being any
one most popular item, Mize
sees a mix of picks chosen for
purchase. A table and mirror
were recently sold. Mize has in
stock a large collection of
quilts. Displayed in a glass case
in the store, is a particularly
petite spoon set, a set which in'
the 1800s, Mize said, was used
to serve salt. Salt was such ,a
premium that serving it.on
sterling silver salt spoons was
in order.
Mize has an eye for both
needlepoint and shadow boxes.
Reinhart beamed that the store
o%%ner has an impressive ability
to match and artistically bring
out colors within a collection of
objects.
Mize claims she will tackle
shadow boxing anything that
isn't live, and she has. She's
done 40-by-60-inch flags, a
wedding dress and even
cannonballs.
Customers bring in items of
personal value to ,be shadow

boxed; from items that
belonged to a lost loved one
customers can have a memory
box created. Mize works
closely with the customer,
patiently and painstakingly
creating the boxes.
Mize explained that memory
boxes are a unique product
because they have links to
emotions and bittersweet
memories for the customer.
Reactions from customers
receiving her completed
memory boxes are genuinely
happy ones, ranging from
pleased to hollering to sitting
down to cry, she said.
Mize does not instruct the
customer, as to. how to lay out
the loved one's items;' .instead
she gently offers suggestions
!and allows the customer to call
the shots.
"We like for them to be
motivated. They need to be
involved because they're gonna
look at it .every day at home,"
Mize said of the shadow box
process.
Diplomas with graduation
cap tassels placed along the side
are a common pick for shadow

boxes and Mize has done many.
Her shadowboxes sport a
special pocket on the back,
providing a handy place for a
certificate of authenticity to
safely reside.
She has found that people
who like antiques tend to also
like custom framing. Endless
sample picture frame corners in
countless colors are neatly
affixed to a vertical carpeted
wall. Directly below them on
display are dozens of sample
color surfaces which can be
applied to -the customer's
preferred frame style.
Mize has been custom
framing for about three and a
half years and is- still going
strong.
In addition to all of the
abo'e, Nlize also helps promote
local musicians b\ display ing
their recorded music CDs and
having copies of them on hand
for purchase.
A second floor has been
completed but has yet to be
opened to the public. Until then,
there is antique furniture up
there waiting to be discovered.
She hopes to expand her
business soon.

Bradford Arc shows

appreciation for consumers

M-. I A .JLM- had by consumers Lillian

By LINUA -IUZCHORR
Telegraph Staff Writer

Purple was the feel-good
color of the day on Friday, June
3 as the consumers of ARC put
work aside and lined up for
food and fun as they received
recognition for another year of
hard work.
The event got off to a rockin'
start as karaoke kings George
Sutphin and Joel Garben
grabbed the mic and ripped
apart songs like "Hot Hot Hot"
and "The Twist." Garben led
consumers like Gina Jacoby,
Mary Starling and Joe
Scheptock into full swing on
the dance floor while Darcia
Wells and Perry Sutton enjoyed
sharing a quieter table for two.
ARC Supervisor Ruby Hines,
Program Manager 'Johnnie Mae
Mosley and Director of ARC
John Conneely were on hand
for smiles and appreciation in
the hall decorated by Jane
Wilson and Debra Foreman.
The half-hour of belting out
songs and bopping to beats was
followed by a dash outside for
sun and splash for all.)
Consumers had a variety of
skill games to line, up for to win
prizes like burgers and gift
cards. They tried their hands at
tossing bean bags into the
witch's brew pot and tossing,
rings onto bowling pins with
Foreman coaching. There were
quieter skill games of giant
checkers for consumers Joe
Riggins and Alfred Thomas
under a canopy alongside chests
of icy Gatorade. :
Mosley %kas on hahd to
encourage consumers to aim for
the red dot and dunk an
unsuspecting Service
Super Isor Rob Clayton in the
Easy Dunker. Half the fun
seemed to be just: trying to
figure out if the dunking
chamber really worked or how
to make it dunk even faster. No
figuring was necessary, though.,
%%hen Scheptock came along,
firmly grabbed the ball and sent
poor Clayton plummeting to his
fatal splashing drop amidst the
cheers of onlooking consumers
Hit or miss, all were in good
spirits nonetheless.
Grins and good times were

Take care of

pets during

summer's heat
Like people, pets can suffer
from the discomfort of hot,
--sticky days. Dr. John August, a
professor in Texas A&M
University's College of
Veterinary Medicine and
BioQmedicar Sciences, offers
these tips to keep your pooch
from being parched and your
kitty from getting too sweaty.
Watch the inside of cars. If
you would not keep a child
inside a hot car with the
windows up, why would you
place your pet in the same

New water
quality
database is
available
online
The St. Johns River Water
Management District is
making volunteer-collected
water quality data available to
the public on its Web site.
The si te,
www.sj rwmd.com/wav,
features a searchable database of
water quality measurements
collected by the District's
Watershed Action Volunteer'
(WAV) Program since 1995.
The database is searchable by
county, hydrologic unit code,
site name, water body and
watershed. It includes
measurements of more than a
dozen factors that influence
water quality, such as dissolved
oxygen, chloride, salinity and
alkalinity.
Currently, nearly 100 WAV
monitors provide data from 11
counties Alachua, Clay,
Duval, Flagler, Lake, Marion,
Nassau, Orange, Putnam,
Seminole and St. Johns
counties. Each volunteer
measures water quality at the
same site every month for at
least a year. The Districr lends
volunteers a field-testing kit,
which supplies tools such as a
Secchi disk to measure _\_aier
-cfarityan-adthermometer to
measure water temperature. For
special projects, a turbidimeter
is issued to measure suspended
particles (or cloudiness often
caused bN erosion or algal
blooms.
Agencies ain. local
governments participating with
WAV also may submit
laboratory data for inclusion in
the water quality database.
Among its benefits, the site
streamlines the water quality
monitoring process by
allowing volunteers to log on
and enter data directly into the
system.
For information about
becoming a WAV water quality
monitor, contact Bill Watkins.

situation?
"It's not uncommon for the
temperature to reach 120
degrees or more inside a car on
a hot summer day," August
said. "Just as with a child, you
should never leave a pet in a car
during-the summer.- Even just a
few minutes can be deadly."
s Airline travel is tougher on
some pets than others, including
dogs such as bulldogs,
Pekingese and Pugs, and cats
such as Persians.
"These animals have shorter
noses, than most other breeds
and they can have difficulty
breathing on an airplane,"
August said. "Often they are
more susceptible to heat stress.

If possible, try to take a direct
flight early in the morning
instead of one that has several
stops."
Don't shave your pets,
thinking it will keep them
cooler.- --
-- s -not a good idea to shave
a pet," August said. "Animals
can get sunburn just like
humans can. If you give your
pets plenty of fresh water and
shade, they should be OK, but
we don't recommend shaving
them unless they have had skin
problems."
Watch your animals around
lakes or swimming pools.
"Not all dogs are natural
swimmers, and certainly most

cats aren't," August said. "You
should supervise your pets
around water just as you would
a child. It's not uncommon for
dogs or cats to drown."
Beware of mosquito bites.
"Msaquitoes_ are very
prevalent this time of year and
they transmit heartworms,
which can then be passed on
from one pet to another,"
August said. "Also, this is the
worst time of year for fleas and
ticks, and there are plenty of
good products available from
your veterinarian to control
them."
Fire ants on the attack. Just
as they bite people and cause
welts and swelling,_fire ants can

cause problems for your pets.
"If you see a fire ant mound
in your yard, get rid of it for
your pet's sake," August said.
Fertilize your lawn with
care.
"If you use fertilizer, it's not
a bad .idea to keep your pet
away from that area until it's
been washed into the soil,"
.August said. "Also, insecticides
and pets don't go together.
They can make a pet ill or even
cause death. Be careful
applying yard chemicals, and
always make sure they are not
near a water dish where the pet
might drink them."
Exercise your pet with
-caution.--August said dogs like-

to be taken for walks, but they
should not be walked in the heat
of the day.
"Remember that dogs have
padded feet and the sidewalk
can be too hot for them,"
August said. "It's a good idea to
walk them on grass if possible,
and preferably "in the early
morning or evening."
August said that with some
common sense and responsible
pet ownership, your animal
should make it through the hot
summer months in good shape.
He adds that there's one good
rule t5f thumb to follow: "If it's
too hot for you out there, it's
probably too hot for your pet,
