Three-week-old Kaydence Silcox is barely old enough to open her eyes, but on Dec. 3 she had her very first visit with the Santa Claus. The Big Guy was at Union County Volunteer Fire Department station 5 expecting Christmas wishes from good girls and boys. He also excepted toys and donations for the Big Red Christmas Drive. The event helped organizers get the needed supplies for the upcoming season. "But we're still short of are goal for this year," said drive coordinator Mindy Goodwin. "We really need the communities support to help us reach our goal." For more pictures with other visitors to Santa as well as letters he has received, see page 6A. LB Christmas parade this Friday By JAMES REDMOND Times Staff Writer The city Of Lake Butler has set it's annual Christmas parade for Friday, Dec. 9 beginning at 7 p.m. The parade will start out on Southwest 3rd St. in front of Rhodes Barbecue. The parade will proceed down 3rd to S.R.238 where it will make a left onto Main Street. Down Main Street the parade will turn left on S.W. 5th Avenue and turn left ending back where the parade began. Any units in the parade need to be lined up on S.W. 3rd Street by 5:30 p.m. Last year's parade had more than 50 entire, 25 of which were illuminated with holiday lights. This year City Manager Richard Tillis is hoping for even more entire. "This year we encourage a special effort be put forth to make this the best parade event ever for the residents of Lake Butler and Union County,"' said Tillis. "Especially for each and every child in our community." Theme for this year's parade is "Christmas Around the World". Parade entries will be judged on several criteria including originality, materials used and how well they follow the theme. Organizers have two categories, non-profit and for-profit, the entries will be placed in. Plaques will be handed out to the first second and third place winners in each category. Organizers are asking parade participants to follow these guidelines for their entie. '* o All entries should reflect the spirit of Christmas. The parade committee reserves the right to reject any entry they feel is not appropriate. o The parade committee requests there be no "live" Santa's on any float or vehicle. The "real" Santa will be at the end of the parade. o No candy is to be thrown from floats or vehicles. (This is for safety purposes, it deters children from running into parade traffic in the dark.) According to Tillis, the event will go on, no matter what the weather is like. "The Lake Butler Christmas Parade will be held, rain or shine," said Tillis. Immediately following the parade, Santa and Mrs. Claus will hand out goody baskets to children 12 and under. The giveaway will take place at the pavilion directly iri'front of the Lake Butler Com'nunity Center. Those children receiving baskets need to check inside. Santa will be giving away several' bicycles during the event. If a child's goody basket See PARADE, p. 8A Tillis updates commissioners on city's ongoing projects By JAMES REDMOND Times Staff Writer During the city of Lake Butler's regular November meeting, City Manager Richard Tillis updated council members on several projects the city is currently undertaking. In September, the council. approved funding for the city to begin hauling the sludge byproduct that the wastewater treatment plant produces. Commissioners approved the purchase of a tanker truck to haul the sludge away and a tank to help treat the sludge before it is removed. S"While inspecting the truck last month two or three issues appeared," Tullis said. "We specified that these issues be corrected prior to delivery." According to Tillis, the company selling the truck agreed, but, ran into some larger issues. "As the issues were being addressed, it was found that they were more serious than first believed," Tillis said. "The company performing the repairs found it necessary to do an upper engine overhaul on the truck." The maintaince has delayed the delivery of the unit. According to Tillis, the repairs should be done in under one week and the city will take delivery of the vehicle in the _ next few days. The city will also take delivery of a 20,000-gallon tank it purchased last month. The tank will allow the'city to hold sludge longer, thus cutting down the city's cost to treat the waste. "By aerating the sludge byproduct longer, the city will have less need to treat the sludge with chemicals before disposing of it," Tillis said. "This cost savings to the city is tremendous." The cost of the tank itself was a major cost savings to he city. According to Tillis, a new tank, complete with equipment, would cost the city well over $300,000. The city purchased 'the tank used for only $8,500. This price included all the equipment required to operate it. Even with relocation costs, Tillis estimates the tank will cost the city less than $15,000. Tillis located the unit at the Fuji Film processing center in Jacksonville. The company attempted to use it to help dispose on the chemicals they use in. the treatment of photographs. After a few months of use, Fuji found it to be inadequate for its needs, the company declared it surplus. It sat idle for several years until the city agreed to purchase it. Currently, the city is preparing the area where the tank will be placed at the treatment facility. "Small trees were removed recently and the site has been graded," Tillis said. "Fill is being placed and will be compacted with the assistance of the of the county. We will form and try to pour the pad in the next week." Tillis estimates it will take seven days for the concrete pad to completely cure. Once dry, the city will relocate the tank from its current location to the plant. According to Tillis, a crane will be required to lift the tank on a flatbed truck that will transport it to Lake Butler. "All electrical feeds have been discounted and control panels, pumps and blowers have been placed on our site awaiting instillation," Tillis said.

On Dec. 13, the Gainesville Suzuki Players Hausmusik Orchestra will perform a free concert at First Christian Church in Lake Butler beginning at 7:15 p.m. Amanda Spires is a member of the ensemble. Spires is a violinist that is very passionate about her craft. For the last six years, Spires has worked to hone it into a fine art. She spends anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours each day working on her technique. She also spends at least one hour per week with instructor Sonnhild Kitts. So how did the 12-year-old begin her musical career? "I begged my mom to buy me a violin when I was six," Spires said. "At first she said 'no', but I kept asking and she finally bought me one." When asked why she chose the violin, Spires said the instrument had an unusual appeal to her. "There's just something about it," Spires said. "It's unique and different." I Being homeschooled allows her more time to practice. "I have no trouble balancing school and practice because I'm right here," Spires said. Spires said when she first started playing she found it difficult at best. "It was not easy at first," Spires said. "But I was determined and made it through." She said her goal is to someday become a concrete violinist. "I want to get a scholarship to the University of Florida for my playing," Spires said. "From there I hope to be a part of an orchestra." Kitts officially founded GSP in 1969. She began teaching in 1966. The group, is the fifth oldest Suzuki teaching program in America. Kitts has performed with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra for nine seasons and the Jacksonville Symphony for 13. Most recently Kitts was the founding concertmaster for the Gainesville Chamber Orchestra. Kitts has four daughters; two of which teach in her studio. They also teach at the University of South Florida and the University of Florida once a week. Stephanie, Kitts third daughter, teaches violin and piano.

Allen DOJ launches effort to train child abduction teams in Florida The Department of Justite's Office of Justice Programs announced an initiative to train regional Child Abduction Response Teams nationwide to respond quickly to incidents of missing and abducted children. ;'Durfing-the next year, 0JP wil qqaduct CART training in 10 regions across the country. The first training will take , place in San Diego, Jan. 23-27, 2006. The regional teams will include law enforcement investigators, forensic experts, AMBER Alert coordinators, policy makers, search and . rescue professionals, crime intelligence analysts, victim service providers and other interagency resources. "When a child is abducted, time is of the essence. Trained regional teams will soon be poised to bring additional resources to help recover children safely and return them to their families," said Cybele K. Daley, acting assistant attorney general for the Office of Justice Programs. "CART is much-needed tool that will help law enforcement recover missing and abducted children." Daley made the announcement at the Florida Department -of Law Enforcement's Ft. Myers Regional Operations Center during a regional CART' training event. The CART program began earlier this year as a result of. the abduction of 11-year-old Carlie Brucia in Sarasota in February 2004 that ended in tragedy. Members of FDLE's Orlando Regional Operations Center determined a need for their region to have trained experts in the field of child abduction investigation and response who could respond to an abduction immediately, assist the lead local law enforcement agency and bring addition regional resources to.

OJP has modified Florida's local CART 'model so it can be adopted by regions nationwide. To date, OJP has conducted four regional CART training sessions in Florida. CART has beeniactivated 13 times and as a result of those activations, 11, children have been recovered in Florida. OJP's nationwide development of the CART program builds upon the remarkable success of the AMBER Alert program. AMBER Alerts have helped save the lives of 231 children nationwide. Over 80 percent of those recoveries have occurred since October 2002 when President George Bush called for a nationally coordinated AMBER Alert program at the first-ever White House Conference on Missing, Exploited and Runaway Children. CART can be used for all missing children's cases and can be deployed as part of an AMBER Alert or when a child is abducted or missing, but the abduction/disappearance does not meet the AMBER Alert criteria. AMBER Alerts are issued only when a child abduction meets the specific AMBER Alert criteria, when law enforcement has enough descriptive information about the abductor or the abductor's vehicle to alert the public. CART can also be used to recover runaway children if they are under 18 and are in danger. In May, iOJP joined the wireless industry and other government officials to announce that wireless uses can opt to receive geographically specified messages on their wireless devices through an AMBER Alert wireless messaging system. In February, OJP announced that with the addition of Hawaii, all 50 'Love is an ocean of emotions entirely surrounded by expenses. -Lord Dewar .*n Subscription Ra $26.00 per year $13.00 six month Outside Trade A $13.00 six month states now have statewide AMBER Alert plans.

Tillis told commissioners 'that connections for water and :electrical service were quickly being completed. , "Concrete will be poured pnd stamped next week, weather permitting," Tillis said. ,-The fountain is being completed in preparation for the city hall's grand opening. The city opens its new facility to the general public on Friday, Dec. 16, from 1-6 p.m. The city has been operating out of the building since July even .though the building was only 98 percent complete. :; Tillis also updated the commission on the replacement of two pieces of equipment. The city recently purchased a 2003 Chevrolet pickup. It replaces a truck that was more than 10 years old. The; purchase was planned as part of.the city's 2005-06 fiscal budget. The purchase of the truck was approved at the board's October meeting. "It is being used for water meter reading and daily meter activity," Tillis said. Also approved by the council was the replacement of one of the city's backhoe units. It was also budgeted to be replaced during the current fiscal year. According to Tillis, City Engineer Hardy Clyatt has been testing out several different units to get a feel for the best machine for the money. "He has used each one for a week to help us make our decision," Tillis said. "We've even had the opportunity to tour one manufacturing facility and were thoroughly impressed. We hope to make a recommendation soon." In an effort to help offset the cost of the new machine, the city will sell the old unit. Tillis told the commission that Clyatt is attempting to get an appraisal for it in order to reach a minimum sale price. James Redmond can reached at (386) 496-2261 uctimes@alltel.net be or Partners to combat hunger Over the. past several months, Hurricanes Katrina, Wilma and Rita ravaged our Gulf Coast states. Through joint efforts with states, food banks, faith and community-based organizations, and schools, hundreds of thousands of the Victims were able to receive .meals and emergency- food boxes at shelters, and more than 960,000 households received over $550 million in emergency food stamps to feed their families. Food Banks across the country shipped more than 1,700 truckloads of food from their own inventories to the states across the affected region. "While we are proud of the creativity and flexibility in iiieeting the needs, we remain steadfast in our combined effort to achieve real, lasting results in reducing and preventing hunger," said Eric Bost, Undersecretary for the IUnited States Department of Agriculture. "Combating hunger across America requires leadership, commitment and partnerships at all levels. Our nation's 15 domestic nutrition assistance programs including Food Stamps, schools meals, commodity food donation programs and Women Infants and Children, serve one.in five, Americans each day." ,Bost said America has a Icing and distinguished record of providing nutrition assistance to children, low- inrcome families and the elderly. ."That's why we are working in; a public-private partnership ensuring that all who are eligible know about, the Federal nutrition assistance programs," said Bost. "Helping needy individuals and families access these. programs with dignity and respect has been, and continues to be, a high priority for the President, Secretary Johanns, myself and our partners." Partners, including states, national anti-hunger organizations, food banks, faith and community based organizations, and schools are critical in joint efforts to serve those in need. Combined efforts to, make nutrition assistance more accessible to more people have been n successful. Since 20UU, 3.0 million more eligible people are receiving food stamps; 1.6 million more children receive a free or reduced price school lunch; over 1.5 million more children receive school breakfast and over 400,000 more women, infants and children receive assistance through WIC. "These investments and achievements serve as the foundation for the work that remains to be done," said Bost "But there is still need and with your assistance, we can do more to meet that need." In the aftermath of the hurricanes, all are reminded that many fellow citizens continue to need help. Even today, many individuals and families who are eligible for our nutrition assistance programs do not participate. "The American spirit is a generous one," said Bost "We have witnessed the outpouring of courage, kindness and generosity over the last several months and throughout history." So, what more can be done? As the holidays approach, Americans can positively affect the lives of others through some simple acts. Additional partners, individuals, and organizations are needed at the community, state and fetleral level to ensure that all who are eligible for nutrition assistance can receive it with dignity and respect. In local communities, through local food banks, food pantries, and soup kitchens, you can help by volunteering time or donating money and food. You can help to ensure that those in need know about federal nutrition programs. "You have the power to make a difference and we invite each of you to join us in reducing hunger right here at home," said Bost.

In fact, it's downright complicated to the uninitiated and requires a tremendous outlay of capital investment for special equipment. A prior article provided background for the citywide sewer cleaning and rehabilitation project that consists of six phases, the first of which is completed, and the second is in its final stages. According to City Manager Ken Sauer, the grant-funded project is on schedule and going well. The contractor, Nicassio Group, is currently working sewer lines between Call Street and S.R. 16 with -.big equipment-mounted trucks parked be pushed up to 2,000 feet with city water power and special equipment. The end of the tube is fitted onto the sewer line and fused with heat. The other end is pushed into the sewer line opening, and water from a high platform is turned on. The extra height gives additional weight to push the liner (inside out) into the sewer line. The process is similar to taking a pencil and pushing on the end of a balloon, turning it wrong side out. When the liner is in place, theend jis: cut off and the liner is fused to the sewer, making a water-tight connection.

"Accidents such as the ones that have happened recently only strengthen our commitment t to teach all 'hunters to be safe and responsiblee," said Bill Cline, state Hunter Safety coordinator :for the Florida Fish and .Wildlife Conseerv.tion Commission (FWC)'. ' Statistically, the numbers of people injured or killed in hunting-related shooting .incidents are similar to the .number of people injured or killed by lightning strikes. In 2002, approximately 16,471,000 gun hunters enjoyed more than 252,000,000 -days of hunting. According to the International Hunter Education Association (IHEA), an analysis of nationwide hunting-related shooting -*incidents in 2002 shows 623 non-fatal injuries and 66 fatalities reported from 45 states. If the five non-reporting states were included, the IHEA estimates approximately 700" iion-fataliaj-ries and 75 fatal incidents occurred in 2002, or ,one non-fatal injury for every 347,601 days of hunting and a shooting fatalit) rate of one for .every 3,244,277 days of "hunting:. Few sports or other forms of outdoor recreation can match ;.this record of safety. It is a Rodkin earns professional _excellence 'award Santa Fe Community 'College Associate.Director of Student' Life Dan Rodkin receivedd the 2005 Professional 'Excellence Award for Student 'Affairs at the recent Florida Association of Community Colleges convention in Tampa. The statewide award "recognizes a college "administrator who has exhibited qualities of -professional excellence in :promoting the growth arid vell-:beldg bt'the-o mmrunity college system through .professional service. "Dan is- someone who values 'studerit opinion above all else Wind knows how to bring the best out of the students he works with," said SFCC ---Student Government President Alan Rezaei in his letter nominating Rodkin for the award. Rezaei also said that Rodkin "will always be an example for aill of us to10 follow." Rodkin. who has a bachelor's -degree in business administration and a master's in education, is a doctoral student ,in higher education .administration at the -University of Florida. 'New River library coop. to meet The Governing Board of the _. New River Public Library Cooperative will hold its "regular meeting on Thursday, :"Dec. 8, at 5 p.m. at the New '-River Solid Waste Facility on SR-121 north of Raiford. testament to the passionate focus responsible hunters and wildlife |agencies place on, hunter safety. It should be noted that hunters do face additional risks including falls from tree stands, heart attack, drowning, cuts, burns, and hypothermia. But, according to the IHEA, the public concern almost always points to. shooting incidents. "Even 'so, just one hunting accident is too many," said Steve Robbins, Hunter Safety ;, coordinator for -the FWVC'g North Central Region. "Florida has hundreds of Hunter Safety volunteers who are working hard to train hunters statewide to be safe, ethical :and responsible sportsmen. You can sign up for one of our free courses on-line at MyFWC.com/huntered or by calling the Hunter Safety section at the FWC's regional offices," Robbins said. According to Robbins, the Hunter Safety course is mandatory for anyone born' on or after June 1, 1975. After they turn 16, hunters must pass the course before they can purchase a hunting license. Since Florida's Hunter Safety courses become mandatory in 191: Hunting accidents have decreased 75 percent. Hunting fatalities have decreased 92 percent. "Even though successful completion of the class is not mandatory until one turns 16, we encourage everyone; parents and children, young and old. to take the course before going hunting. If the youngster is under the age of 16, they must be in the direct control of a ! supervising adult .vh6 is'i responsible for the child's safe actions," Robbins said. "Statistically, children are the safest hunters. There are three reasons for this: 1) most have' passed a :hunter safety course, 2)1 because they are not as familiar itih firearms as adults, children may be less likely to take firearms safety for granted, and 3) there is usually another set of adult eyes. with them," Cline explained, "For younger children, we have three separate Junior Hunter Safety Courses that can be downloaded off our website at www.MyFWC.com/huntered. , These courses are designed for three age groups: kindergarten through first grade, second and third .grades and fourth and fifth grades. These are great tools for parents to use with their children when talking about firearms and hunting safety," Cline said. However, every hunter can be a safe hunter if the "Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety" are followed, said Robbins. i The Ten Co-nmandnents are' 'I. Watch thde muzzle. Be able to control the direction of the muzzle even if you stumble. 2. Treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun. 3. Be sure the barrel and action are clear of obstructions and that you use only the ammunition of the proper size for the gun you are carrying. 4. Be sure of your target and beyond before you pull the' trigger. Know the identifying features of the game you hunt. 5. Unload guns when not inr ,use. Take down or have actions ' open.' Gtins should be carried ,in caSes, to the shooting areas. 6.1 Never point a gun at ajn hing you do not intend to 2 * shoot. Avoid all horseplay with a firearm. 7. Never climb a fence or tree or jump a ditch with a loaded gun. Never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle. 8. Never shoot a bullet at a 'flat, hard surface or water. During target practice, be sure your backstop is adequate. 9. Store guns and ammunition separately out of reach of children and careless adults. S10.A A oid alcoholic, 'beverages ad. bthdr mop6d-' Warming Families project needs help Warming Families is a. charitable organization that provides warm items like blankets, socks, hats, slippers, etc. to homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters and nursing homes throughout the country. . Volunteers are needed to altering drugs 'before and during shooting. "These 'commandments' lay the groundwork for everything we do," Robbins said. "However, there is no more important commandment to take 'to heart than number 1I... muzzle control. "Situational awareness is crucial also. If you allow that to dictate your actions and remain safe and ethical at aV times, many hunting accidents could be prevented," Robbins said .' join the organization. Volunteers collect items, to donate to shelters or make those items by crocheting, knitting or sewing. Volunteers also collect donated yarn and materials to supply to the volunteers who wish to create items.

Birds of concern are relocated The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCi hopes more Floridians will be hearing the rat-tat-tat of red-cockaded woodpeckers (RCW) in their communities. The wildlife agency recently relocated dozens of birds from areas that ha\ e excess birds to parts of the state with critically small populations. FWC biologists said the process, called translocation, is a powerful tool for conserving red-cockaded woodpeckers, which the state classifies as a "species of special concern." Their populations, once practically continuous across the state, are now isolated clusters. "Across their range, the j~opultiatTof"h red-cockaded woodpeckers has declined drastically, and one of the main reasons the population is beginning to recover is because of two important conservation tools artificial cavities, ind translocation," FWC avian coordinator Robin Boughton said. "It, truly is a success story." Translocating woodpeckers. is a delicate procedure. Biologists must identify young birds at a donor site,. find suitable habitat on the recipient site, and then create homes by inserting nest boxes into living pine trees to create artificial cavities. On moving day. FWC biologists use nets attached to telescoping poles to capture the birds from their holes, which can be 20-plus feet off the ground. Overnight, they drive the critters to their new location. place the birds into separate, but neighboring, artificial cavities and cover the holes with screen. At. dawn, biologists remove the screen and anxiously wait for the birds to get acquainted. ,Boughton said the true measure of success is if the birds stay in the area and breed. About 50 to 60 percent of translocations are successful. "We've had wonderful results in Florida. There are many very 'small populations, and most of them are growing now," Boughton said. "Before translocation, they were declining or, at best, stable." Boughton said scientists will monitor these translocated birds periodically. They hope to see positive results by the next breeding season, which is May July. :'FWC began translocating red-cockaded woodpeckers more than five years ago as part of the Southern Range .Translocation Cooperative (SRTC). a group of private, state and federal partners from Florida, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia that are collaborating to help the species recover. In August, SRTC selected 10 areas in Florida to receive breeding pairs i.see list below). FWC began moving birds to public lands in mid-October. Recipient locations are 1.

Soldiers from the Guyanese.

That is why airborne soldiers regularly participate in practice jumps. "You've got to be proficient. You want to do that task .over and over again. You don't want to stop doing it and then suddenly start up again," said Vergopia. Lt; Col. James Craig said the 20th Special Forces Group participates in practice jumps at least once every three months. "We're doing this jump with our partners in peace, the Guyanese Army," he said. 'They've been training with us for about a week." The 20th Special Forces Group will also soon travel to Guyana in South America to participate in a training exercise with the Guyanese Army in their homeland. Thee jump Saturday involved about 200 soldiers jumping out of aircraft into an area about 1,000 meters long (a little over 3,000 feet), said Major Derek Lipson. Lipson is the commander of Alpha Company, .the first soldiers who edited the airplanes. Soldiers jumped in groups of eight. , Lipson said safety is of .utmost concern hen soldiers are parachuting. Part of the soldiers in the 20th Special Forces Group are designated as riggers. They make certain the . parachutes and equipment being used by their brothers in arms are in perfect working order. The chutes and equipment are checked and rechecked several times before a jump. "Safety is built into every operation we do," said Lipson. "We have intensive safety measures. We are always aware of the great value of these soldiers... to their families, to us as a unit and to the nation." One of the soldiers who jumped from the airplanes wasn't dressed in camouflage. ee GUARD, .' 5C I. I o .,'" 7 l ---l".'

Kelsey Salazar, Kenny_ ._-Seak- and-Elf-Thrift'are all members of this year's "A Christmas Carol" production at the Hippodrome State Theatre in Gainesville. Salazar plays Belle (Scrooge'.s former sweetheart) as- a young woman, Smoak portrays Scrooge as a young man and Thrift portrays Tiny Tim. Salazar, Smoak and Thrift share those roles, which are triple cast, with other actors, rotating throughout the play's run. However, when they are not playing Belle, Scrooge and Tiny Tim, they still take part in the play as members of the ensemble. "It's really, great to be a part of it," Smoak said of the production, which is in its 28th year. Smoak, who lives in Melrose, is making his second appearance in the Hippodrome's "A Christmas Carol." He played Scrooge as a boy in last year's production, and recalls being a little nervous following his first public performance. As boy Scrooge, Smoak .was responsible for pushing, a school desk on stage to set up the scene. He did not push the desk as far out on stage as he was supposed to. "I thought the director was going to bite my head off," Smoak said. "I was terrified, but she really didn't notice it." So everything worked out and Smoak enjoyed his first performance, -as well as those that followed. He especially enjoys portraying Scrooge at a later point in his life. "I understand what he thinks of Belle and what' he's trying to accomplish," Smoak said. Salazar, who lives in Earleton, is playing Belle for the second straight year, lut this is her seventh year as a cast'member of "A Christmas Carol." She said it was hard to describe her feelings after her I first performance iffhe shbW J___Jwhich shc-portrayed--Belinda Cratchit-Bob Cratchit's youngest daughter.

Though their levels of experience on the Hippodrome stage vary, Salazar, Smoak and Thrift all got their start at the theatre by participating in its Summer Spectacular program. Each received calls to audition for "A Christmas Carol" after their participation in the summer program. Smoak and Thrift were not sure about their chances after their first auditions for the play. "I thought they were looking for something different from what I gave them, so I really. didn't think I was going to get the part," Smoak said. Thrift said, "I thought I did kind of a bad job." Salazar was so wrapped up. in the moment during her first audition she was not even sure how it went. She was just relieved she got through the process. "The first time I auditioned, I was' so glad: to have my monologue done .that when they were telling me how they would get in touch with me afterward, I didn't hear a single word," Salazar said. "I didn't know if they were going to call me or if I had to stop by." Salazar received a phone call, as did Smoak and Thrift. Thus began their portrayals of such memorable characters. As Scrpoge, Smoak said he wants to convey to the audience how his character is unsure of what he's doing during the scene he performs in. "He's kind of naive," Smoak said. "He doesn't' really understand why Belle is doing this." What Belle is doing, *as Smoak puts it, is "dumping him on stage." That made the role quite a departure from other roles Smoak has taken on. He's used to playing characters that are 'younger or more childish. S"The first time we did it, I' would always laugh when we! were doing out scenes," Smoak said. "I had to get over: that and be more mature than that." It is the maturity and: emotion of the scene between' Belle and Scrooge that Salazari most enjoys about her role in' See PLAY, p. 10C' -~! *j ;. ; ' r Sis0 Dec. 8,2005 TELEGRAPH, TIMES & MONITOR-C-SECTION Page 5C - .-, Nw~m, GUARD Continued from p. 2C He was decked out in red and white after being recruited by Santa Claus to deliver toys that would be used by the Lake Area Ministries, Lake Region Kiwanis Club and Toys for Tots to brighten the Christmas of needy kids in the Keystone Heights area.

"It's such an elegant, bittersweet scene," Salazar said. " Salazar's challenge is to convey to the audience how much Belle cares for Scrooge. "I want to show her genuine compassion for Scrooge-that she really doesn't resent him and she's not at all spiteful for what he's done. She wants him to understand why she's choosing this, which is very difficult for him." As far as Tiny Tim goes, Thrift said it's his job to bring across to the audience the caring nature of his character. Tiny Tiim shows compassion for others rather than feeling sorry for himself because of his disability, Thrift said. "I don't find it difficult to act this part out," Thrift said. "I think it's fun." Tiny Tim has one of the most memorable lines in "God bless us everyone." Thrift feels no pressure, though, when it comes to uttering the phrase. "Actually, it's a really easy line to remember," Thrift said. "I've never messed it up and it's really easy to say in an English accent." ..Both Smoak and Thrift got interested in acting through school. Smoak said he was always taking part in elementary school plays. Then, a friend of his approached him after watching him in a church play and asked if he would be interested in auditioning for the Lake Region Community Theatre's production of "A Christmas Carol" in Starke. Smoak wound up being part of -the ensemble in that production one year,' then played Tiny Tim twice. "After that, my 'next production, which was Probably .my favorite, was "Home at Six" where I played an 11-year-old alcoholic," Smoa. said. "Then I started coming here to (the Hippodrome's) summer camp." -.Thrift said he! began tap dancing at an early age and he eventually started participating in talent shows. "After that, I did a. couple of school plays," Thrift said. SSalazar's interest in acting began at the Hippodrome's summer camp. She first attended at the age of 8. "I loved it," Salazar said. "I've been coming here ever since. It's just so much fun. I love theatre." SSalazar said she loves the idea of being someone who she's not, like a vampire, for instance. She was in the Hippodrome's production of "Dracula" this year. All three actors say they would like to continue performing on stage as long as they can. "It's such a part of me now after having done it for at least half of my life," Salazar said. Smoak said, "I can see myself doing this forever." Thrift already has his eyes on future roles. "When I grow up,. I would love to be Dracula and when I grow up to be as old as Rusty (Sailing), who plays' Scrooge, I would like to be Scrooge," Thrift. said.
