Operation Clean Sweep takes drugs off streets

BY JAMES REDMOND
Times Staff Writer
On June 30, the Union
County Sheriffs Office gave a
'few Union County residents a
start to their July Fourth
weekend they'll never forget.
: The department conducted a
raid entitled Operation Clean
Sweep. With assistance from
the Baker County Sheriff's,
Office SWAT team and K-9
units from the Florida
Department of Corrections, the
operation netted six arrests.
Seized during the operation
*were more than 100 grams of
cocaine, crack cocaine and
'marijuana, and more than
$2,000 in cash.
- Among those arrested were:
Fredrick Copeland, Melvon
Noisette, Printis Jeffefson,
Luke Smith, David Gentry and

Willie Henderson Sr.
According to Capt. Garry
Seay, of the UCSO, each
suspect was charged with
numerous counts of possession
of cocaine, sale of cocaine,
possession of marijuana and
possession of drug
paraphernalia.
"This operation was
conducted to rid the streets of
..Union County of the sale of
illegal narco6tif ;"' Seay said.-,..,.-
According to Seay, the raid
was the final step in an
operation that had been carried
out over the last several weeks.
He said during that period,
members of a drug task force
had been investigating the
illegal sale of narcotics
throughout the county. The
main focus of the investigation
was the city of Lake Butler.
During the operation, several

different confidential sources
were used to make numerous
controlled purchases of
cocaine and crack cocaine
from a number of local drug
dealers. The purchases were
made using finances from the
sheriffs office. The funds used
had been specifically
designated for making the
buys.
According to Seay,
i information from-the- purchases...
led the department to execute
two search warrants on homes
within the county. He said one
of the residences contained a
camera and monitor to watch
activity outside the home.
Bail for those arrested ranged
from $25,000 to no bail set. As
of press time, all were still in
the Union County Jail.

An inmate who told an
Alachua County judge he
would kill until he received a
death sentence got %hat he
asked for June 30.
Judge Robert P. Cates
sentenced Ricardo Ignacio Gill
to death for the Jul\ 2001
killing of Orlando Rosello. a
cell mate of Gill's while at the
Reception and Medical Center
in Lake Butler.
During.the sentencing. Cates
told Gill he had the right to
stop the proceeding and have
council dispute both
aggravating and mitigating
factors of the sentence. Each
time Gill acknowledged his
right, but asked Cates to
continue with the proceedings.
Cates read the more than 20
page sentence one page,at a'
time. After each was complete,
Cates asked Gill if he had any
objections. .The date of one
event and one.word were the
onl) items Gill mentioned.
- When the murder that Gill
was sentenced for occurred,- he
was at RMC awaiting
assignment to a prison after
pleading guilty to the June 22,
1999 murder of Beverly Moore
in Gainesville. Before being,

sentenced. Gill told Judge Stan
Morris that if Morris did not
impose the death penalty, he
would kill someone and make
another judge do it.
In his order to sentence Gill
to life, Morris acknowledged
the threat, but said he felt the
request to ha'e the death
sentence imposed was unusual.
Morris cited Gill asking that
mitigating factors not be
presented in his defense to be
an unusual factor as well.
Morris' final reason for not
imposing the death penalty
was mental health reports that
stated Gill was not competent
to stand trail.
On July 20, 2001, Morris
imposed his sentence. Gill was
turned o er to the Florida
Department of Corrections.
According to the death
sentence issued by Cates,
Morris called., the DOG to
inform them of the threats
made by Gill.
"Despite the warning from
Judge Morris, Gill was placed
in a cell with Orlando Rosello,
and in the following week Gill
"strangled Rosello to death,"',
Cates read from his order.
In his order, Cates included
the statement from Gill where
he admits to killing Rosello. In

the statement Gill admits to
writing several notes that
indicate how and why he
committed.the crime.
More than II months ago
Gill came before Cates to
change his plea in the case
from not guilty to guilty. After
the plea, the state proceeded .
directly into the penalty phase
of the case. During that phase,
Gill made a statement to. the
court in which he told Cates
that if he was not sentenced to
the death penalty he would kill
again, and this time it would
not be an inmate.
Throughout all the.
proceedings, Gill professed his
innocence in the murder of
Beverly Moore. In a hand-
written statement to Morris,'
Gill stated he would rather die
than spend the rest of his life in
prison. He claims, the statement
of one his council during the
Moore case is what led him to
kill to get the death penalty.
'He claims that none of the
lawyers appointed to him
during the case ase would believe

Accident sends three to hospital

BY JAMES REDMOND
Times Staff Writer
An accident on Southwest
Ninth Street in Lake Butler
sent 4 people to the hospital'
June 30.
According to a report from
the Florida Highway Patrol,
Lashaun Farmer, 16, of
Macclenny drove a 1994 Ford
over a curb, through a yard and
into a pine tree. The crash
resulted from a fight that had
broken out.

According to the report,
Farmer was in the passenger
seat of the vehicle when the
fight began. Once the fight
ensued, she moved to the
driver's seat and started. to
drive off. Candace Brown, 17,
of, Lake Butler attempted to
stop Farmer from driving off
by reaching inside the car and
grabbing the steering wheel.
The report states Brown's
actions caused the driver to
lose control.

Jamarion Rawls, 1, of Lake
Butler was a passenger in the
vehicle. According to the
report, all three were taken to
Lake Butler Hospital with
minor injuries. Neither Farmer
or Rawls were wearing a seat
belt at the time of the crash.

depth of soil required to hold 8
inches of nmoistuire arises A
prolonged drought influences
fire intensity largely because
more fuel is available for
combustion. In addition, the
drying of organic material in
the soil can lead to increased
difficulty in putting out a fire.
"The higher the number on
the index, the more likely
conditions are favorable for the
occurrence and spread of
wildfires," Broughton said.
"But drought is not by-itself a
prerequisite for wildfires.
Other weather factors, such as
wind, temperature, relative
humidity and atmospheric
stability, play a major role in
determining the actual fire
danger."
As of press time, the KDBI
for Union County was 400.
According to Broughton, that
meant the county was at a
moderate risk for. a brush fire.
He-also pointed out that was an
average for the county and that
some areas of the county had
more moisture in the soil than
others.
DOF has recently upgraded
Sthe KBDI to make use of
National Weather Service
Stage- III radar estimated

-only recently become available
.in a format that is satisfactory
for using in calculations of the

crime that empties bank

particularly horrifying that this

Haven hospice
hosts stud
signing
Haven Hospice held a "stud
signing" celebration, Tuesday,
:Jun. 20, at the construction site
for the new Haven Hospice
care center in Lake City,
scheduled for completion ,in
December.: The new care
center will serve Columbia,
Hamilton, Suwannee,
Lafayette, and Union counties
as well as a portion of Baker
County.
Florida State Representative
Dwight Stansel spoke to the
importance of having a care
center in the Suwannee Valley
area. "This is a prime example
of a community, doing things
for themselves and. not,
expecting the government to

do it for them," he said. He
emphasized how much more
convenient it will be for
families to drive only 10 miles,
to a care center as opposed to
50 miles to the nearest one-in
Gainesville or Chiefland
during, such an emotionally
- stressful time.
SMore, than 100 people
attended the event. The stud-
signing event is a Haven
Hospice tradition that .gives
community members an
opportunir 1to leave a message
or memorial to a loved'one
inside the walls before drywall
is installed and the building
finished.
"There has been a great need
in this area for a facility such
as this for a long time, and
through the community's
financial support, the dream
has become a reality," said,
Haven Hospice Executive

Director Tim Bowen. "It is
wonderful to see members of
these communities show their
support for the new care
center."
The care center will house
16 private rooms in a home-
like setting. Family members
and patients will be able to
stroll through beautiful
memorial gardens and spend
quiet time in a chapel. The
spacious community room will
provide space for larger
gatherings and celebrations. In
addition to the 27 Haven
employees currently serving
the Suwannee Valley area, the
new care center will generate
23 new job opportunities,
including 16 professional
positions.
Haven Hospice is a not-for-
profit, community-based

while the, total employment
impacts grew by 16.7 percent
from 648,550 jobs to 756,993
jobs.
The Division of Marketing

Judy Harris, Larry Sluder, David Harris and Jackie Sluder all study together during a
GED class at the Sanderson Christian Revival Center.

It's never too late to get an education

Some-retired people sit on the
front porch and take it easy.
Many retired people stay
busy, busy, busy. Many of them
say, "I don't know how I ever
had the time to work a full-time
job and do what I am doing
now." Many take care of their
grandchildren and great-
grandchildren. Others are
involved in community events
and church activities. Some
silver-headed retirees go back
to school. It's never too late to
go back to school. There are
three couples currently going to,
GED classes held at Sanderson
Christian Revival Center.
Two of them are in the sixties
and seventies. Larry and Jackie
Sluder are 74 and 76 years old.
David and Judy Harris are 66
and 62 years old. Larry Sluder
was raised in West Virginia
before moving to Finleyville (a
small community within
Sanderson off C.R.. 229 South
in Baker CountN'). Sluder had to
quit school to take care of his
family when his father was
seriously hurt in a coal mine
accident.
Three coal miners were
working together in the same,
drift mouth (cave). The slate.
above them fell in and killed
two of the three then. Sluder's
father was dug out of the cave-
in. He was barely alive. He
survived with a broken back
and was unable to work for four
years. Sluder had just graduated
from the 9th grade.
Sluder, being the oldest boy,
quit school and made a living
for his mother, three sisters, and
five brothers. He went td work
at a meat packing plant making
$.35 cents an hour.
Several months ago Larry
and Jackie decided that they
:wanted their high school
diploma. Larry and his wife do
everything together.
"When you see one, you see
-the other. Larry stated, "It's
:never too late to get your
'education. If you sit on your
:porch with your feet up, you are
S not going to live very long.
'Don't be a couch potato."

Tree ID book
is now

available
With hundreds of different
species of trees growing in
Florida and throughout the
Eastern and Central regions of
the United States, the average
person might be hard-pressed to
recognize and name more than
just a handful.
"What Tree Is That," a
unique 72-page pocket guide
available from The National
Arbor Day Foundation, makes
this detective work fun and
easy by showing' how to
identify trees in a simple step-
by-step process.
The guide book begins by
noting the distinguishing
characteristics that separate, one
tree species from another.
Dozens of richly detailed
drawings accurately illustrate
the specific shapes and textures
of different leaves, needles,
acorns, berries, seed pods,
cones and other identifying
features.
Popular trees such as oaks,
maples, firs and pines are
covered. The pocket guide also
goes beyond these familiar
species to include the lesser-
known horsechestnut and
mockernut hickory, sassafras
and shadbush, persimmon and
pawpaw, and pagodatree and
pecan.
"Helping people enjoy and
appreciate trees is central to the
educational mission of the
Arbor Day Foundation," John
Rosenow, the foundation's
president, said. "Being able to
identify trees is important to
knowing how to care for them

Stomach Flu or
Gastroenteritis
Gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining and the
intestines.
Common symptoms are abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, abdominal cramping, fatigue, and muscle aches.
While fluid loss and mineral losses may be little more than a passing
nuisance to some, to the elderly, the young, those with other medical
conditions, or when it is a more serious infection, the consequences can
be significant.
Gastroenteritis may be viral or bacterial. It can be spread by
contaminated food, water, person-to-person contact, or contact with
reptiles depending on the infection.
How is gastroenteritis treated?
Fluids and rest are the mainstays of treatment, but when the Infection is
bacterial and, if the patient is particularly susceptible, it is important to
ensure that the patient is hydrated either by slowing the diarrhea and
vomiting, by re-hydrating, andlor by stopping the bacteria with an
antibiotic.
Need to see a doctor?
Persistent fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain are good reasons
to see your provider. Unchecked, dehydration can become dangerous so
.keep up your fluid intake.
Is gastroenteritis contagious?
Yes. You can give the Infection to others until you have been on the
antibiotic for one to three days. Do nbt go back to school until the diarrhea
and vomiting are past and you have been on the antibiotic for 24 hours;
and, of course, watch out for those reptiles.

News from Bradford County, Union County and the Lake Region area

Starke PD: Beware of your child's computer use

BY LINDSEY KIRKLAND
Telegraph Staff Writer
Myspace.com: a place for
friends.
This is the logo of a social
networking Web site,
frequently used by teenagers,
to post information about
themselves and meet people
online.
But what was intended as a
site to meet friends can be
anything but, and this is
exactly why the Starke Police
Department said parents
should be aware of what their
children are doing on the
Internet.
Not only is there
myspace.com, but there are
instant messengers, e-mail and
other Web sites, such as
facebook.com or
friendster.com.
These can all be used to talk
to friends, family and,
unknowingly, sexual predators.
MySpace, for example,
allows anyone to put a photo
of themselves on the Internet
along with personal
information. The most
common user profiles have
teenagers' pictures, the schools
they attend, their ages and the
cities they are from. It gives
space to write other, more
detailed information, as well.
Starke PD's Sgt. Bill Brown
said the department knew these
sites existed, but the issue
came to the front burner after
recent incidents.
About a month and a half
ago, a male sexual offender
was picked up by probation
officials. He had been chatting
with people on MySpace.
Only a few weeks ago, a 14-
year-old girl met people online
through her cell phone's'
Internet access. She became a
runaway, and people she had
met online helped take her to
different places in Florida.
Brown said among the list of
people she was talking
to-sexual offenders, %\ho'
would wire her money to add
to her cell phone minutes so
they could keep chatting.
Brown said after the first
incident, Starke PD started
going online to check out
MySpace.
By searching for people
from certain ZIP codes and age
groups, he was- able to find
children from the area who had
profiles placed on MySpace.

Bradford 4-H
auction is
scheduled for
Aug. 5
The Bradford County 4-H
Foundation will hold its annual
auction Saturday, Aug. 5, at
the Bradford County
Fairgrounds.
The even starts with a silent
auction from 5:30-7 p.m.
Dinner will be served at 6
p.m., followed by the live
auction at 6:30 p.m. Terry
Vaughan, the Bradford County
supervisor of elections, will be
the auctioneer.
Tickets for dinners are ,$6
each and may be purchased
from the Bradford County
Extension Office or from 4-H
members.
Any individual or business
can contribute items to the
auction. Call the. extension
office at (904) 966-6224
(someone will be made
available to pick up items if
necessary).
This annual fund-raiser is
used to provide full and partial
scholarships to 4-H youth and
adult volunteers that allow
them to attend and participate
in a variety of county, district,
state and national educational
experiences, such as camp, 4-
H.,Congress, 4-H, Legislature
and state 4-H leadership
training. Money generated
from the auction will also
provide funds for local
community service projects
that 4-H members are involved
in throughout the year.
4-H is the community-based
educational program of the
University of Florida
Cooperative Extension Service
that involves youth ages 5-18
in planned, learn-by-doing
experiences and positive,
supportive relationships. 4-H is

open to all youth regardless of
race, color, religion, sex,
disability or national origin.

Some the Starke PD staff
recognized by their pictures.
"These sites are not the best
in the world," Brown said.
While teenagers may think

they are talking to someone
their own age, Brown said it
can be something different.
"These kids go on in there
and they think they're talking

to someone else." Brown said.
"Unfortunately, you get
people in there who are older.
Before you know it, they're
like, 'Hey, let's go meet.'"

He said he wishes Starke PD
had more resources to set up
stings to capture these
predators. Operations like
these have been featured

recently on Dateline NBC's
"To Catch a Predator."

BY DUSTIN HORN
Telegraph Staff Writer
Between Melrose and
Keystone Heights lies a 10-
acre plot. of land that is home
to two Bengal tigers.
But there is no need to call
your local law enforcement or
conservation officer. These
tigers are a part of Single
Vision, a business created by
Carl Bovard to educate the
public about endangered
species.
The two tigers, Amira and
Bali, are sisters. Although
they weigh about 200 pounds
each and stand nearly 6 feet
tall, Bovard said they aren't all
that different from a house cat.
"Tigers have almost the
same behaviors as a domestic
cat ... but they're much more
personable than a house cat,"
Bovard said.
Although, Bovard said, it is
important to always remember
that no matter how tame a
tiger may appear, it is still a
wild animal that is.a powerful
predator. He said he is able to
train the tigers the way he does
by reading and anticipating
their behavior.
Bovard said Bali was unable
to be adopted by a zoo because
of her eye condition. Bovard
and his friend, who owns the
two tigers' parents, did not
want to see the sisters
separated, so Bovard began to
look into the requirements for
adopting the tigers.
"I think it's important when
you're keeping big cats in
captivity that they have some
companionship," he said.
After purchasing the
necessary acreage and building
adequate caging required by the
state of Florida, Bovard was
able to adopt the tigers. He
has had the tigers since they
were 3 months old, he said.
Bali and Amira celebrated
their first birthdays this week,
Bali on July 1 and Amira, who
was born three hours later, on
July 2.
But if you are beginning to
think owning a big cat would
be a fun thing to do, you may
want to think again.
Caring for the tigers is a
full-time job for Bovard. He
hand feeds them three times a
day and takes them on walks
around the property, he. said;
They are fed a mixture of
vitamin enhanced horse meat,
beef and chicken.
He said his method of hand
feeding is different from what
other trainers typically do. He
feeds them at the same time, in
order to reduce any chance of
aggressiveness during feeding.
Bovard also had to get a
Class I exotic animal license
through the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation
Commission, which required
him to put in 1,000 hours of
training. He also has a United

That funny face Amira is making is called a flehmen
behavior. It's how tigers test scents in their
environment.

States Department of
Agriculture Class C
exhibitor's license to show the
tigers in public, he said.
Bovard has a biology degree
from Indiana University and
has been working with big cats
for eight years.
Bovard is unable to go on
any vacations while he has the
tigers. He said a tiger's trainer
becomes a vital part of the
tiger's world and is essentially
a part of their 'family.
Considering the longevity of
tigers in captivity, he will be
with them for some time.

"Wild tigers will live 12 to
14 years ... but in captivity
with proper care, they'll live to
be 20 to.25 years," he said.
Although the tigers are wild
animals that can be dangerous,
Bovard is able to wield a great
amount of control over them.
Bovard is also assisted by his
girlfriend and partner,
Cassandra Murphy.
I He said his voice is a key
tool in training the tigers. To

Celebrating the

U.S. Constitution

Americans celebrated the 230th
birthday of their nation on Tuesday,
July 4, in as, many ways as there are
people. That is to say, everyone did
his own thing, and that is the essence
of being an American.
The "right" to. pursue our own
interests, not just on the holiday, but
every day of every year, is so
ingrained we may forget (or overlook)
the work and sacrifice of early
Americans to provide a way of life
unknown to citizens of other nations.
The 13 colonies that came together
to form the nation were established by
a diverse people that came to the New
World for a variety of reasons, from
the jailed debtors of Georgia to the
religious zealots of New England, but
a common thread that ran through all
adventuresome residents from
Western Europe was the desire to live
in a free society.
That isn't to say there was no
opposition. The British Crown had
supporters throughout the
_Revolutionary--War- that Gen.
Washington and his supporters had to
contend with before the new
government could be put in place, but
the opposition was overcome, by
delegates to the early conventions.
The U.S. Constitution did not
spring full blown in the early stages of
uniting the 13 divergent groups that
[would eventually become states. The
first documents bringing unity to the
group. were the -Articles. ---of
-C-nfederaion-and--erpetuaiil Union,
which gave only limited authority to a6
central government, each state
retaining important powers for itself.'
-It. didn't -w-iork too' Af0ll and, was
terminated upon ratification ,of. the.
Constitution in 1789.
In reality, it was the signing of the.
Declaration of Independence on July
4, 1776, that we consider the birthdate
of the nation. But our form of
government, based on "a written:
constitution, didn't arrive. foranother
13 years, and even in 17$9, it was
incomplete.
The new document did not provide
in writing the personal "rights" people
had come to believe were theirs. A
number of states demanded these;
rights be added prior to approval, thus
12 amendments were submitted, with
10 winning. approval. Those
amendments became known as the
Bill of Rights.
Since the original Constitution was
adopted, it has been amended 26
times,. including the first 10 personal
freedoms.
All the, amendments are important,
but on one occasion, the people felt a '
mistake had been made and reversed
themselves by passing a subsequent
amendment voiding .the earlier
attempt to resolve a problem.

The 18th Amendment prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating beverages was passed in
1919, but was controversial from
inception and was reversed by the
21st Amendment in 1933. Prohibition
spawned more illegal activities and
heartaches than the production and
sale of liquor, in the eyes of voters.
Depending on personal views, some
amendments may be more important
than others. Certainly the 13th
Amendment abolishing slavery
(1865) stands out in importance for all
Americans, followed by the equal
protection found in the 14th
Amendment (1868). The 15th
Amendment (1870) and the 19th
Amendment (1920) established
voting rights.
Individually, we may have
favorites, and if I have a preference, it
would be the First Amendment.
The First Amendment ensures five
freedoms: freedom to worship,
freedom of speech, freedom of the
press, freedom to peaceful assembly
and the freedom to petition the
government for redress or grievance.
Freedom isn't possible without the
five rights contained 'in the First
Amendment.
Rights two and three, freedom of
speech and freedom of the press, go
hand-in-hand in keeping the
electorate informed. The amendments
protect individuals that speak out on
:wriongdoing, actual or perceived,
allowing a free flow of information
and ideas often prohibited in other
parts of the world.
The U.S. Supreme Court has
interpreted the I"burning -of an
American Flag as a formn-of speech,
and consequently refused to ban the
practice or punish the perpetrator, a
decision that upsets many people.
I don't like the decision and I hope
no one ever burns a flag in my
presence, but I understand the Court's
basis for the decision. It may be that
'individual judges don't like the-
decision, but feel it their duty to rule
as they do. Two .retired circuit court
judges have told me that they have
rendered decisions with which they
did not personally agree, but ruled in
compliance with the law.
This is as it should be.
An. old adage states, "You don't
miss the water until the well runs
dry." The free press of the' United
States stands at the forefront of
freedom, battling daily with those
-who would bend the truth for personal
reasons. If we are to remain free, we
must support the freedom of speech
and press, the keystones of a free;
people in an open society.

I am one of the
organizers/founders of Starke
Bike Fest. Throughout the
entire planning of this event,

Some church members and
Christians in attendance may

Sir, if Jesus Christ had not
walked among sinners,
wouldn't we all still be lost?
I am a Christian and have
read Mark 16:15 that states,
"Go ye into all the world and
preach the gospel to every
creature."

also believe that if you need to
cast religious stones at the
"church people" of Starke, you
need to be able to stand tall on
your own beliefs.
Sir, did you not welcome
this change because it was not
the activity of your choosing?
Or, did your community not
benefit from the revenue this
event generated? Or, was this
an attempt to stand on a broken
soapbox to voice your opinion
when you personally accept
sponsorship money for your
activities from the sale of beer
in a local restaurant in Starke.
Do you race under the
"banner of the cross"? '
Starke holds the keys to my

change here and respect the

do not tend to the future, how -
can we expect Starke to be the
great place that it is? A
Congratulations to all who

traditions and overcame the
obstacles before you.
For this, I applaud you.

Operation

Clean Sweep

nets 8 arrests
BY JAMES REDMOND
Times Staff Writer
On June 30, the Union
County Sheriffs Office gave a
few Union County residents a
start to their July Fourth
weekend they'll never forget.
-The department conducted a
raid entitled Operation Clean
Sweep. With assistance from
"the Baker County Sheriff's
Office SWAT team and K-9
units from the Florida
Department of Corrections, the
operation netted six arrests.
Seized during the operation
were more than 100 grams of
cocaine, crack cocaine, and
marijuana, and more than
$2,000 in cash.
Among those arrested were:
Fredrick Copeland, Melvon
Noisette, Printis Jefferson,.
Luke Smith, David Gentry and
Willie Henderson Sr.
According to Capt. Garry
Seay, of the UCSO, each
suspect was charged with
numerous counts of possession
of cocaine, sale of cocaine,
possession of marijuana and
possession of drug
paraphernalia.
"This operation was
conducted to rid the streets of
Union County of the sale of
illegal narcotics," Seay said.
According to Seay, the raid
was the final step in an
operation that had been carried
out over the last several weeks.
He said during that period,
members of a drug task force
had been investigating the
illegal sale of narcotics
throughout the county. The
main focus of the investigation
was the city of Lake Butler.
During the operation, several
different confidential sources
were used to make numerous
controlled purchases of
cocaine and crack cocaine
from a number of local drug
dealers. The purchases were
made using finances from the
sheriffs office. The funds used
had been specifically
designated' for making the
buys.

According to Seay,
information from the purchases
led the department to execute
two search warraikts on homes
within the county. He said one
of the residences contained a
camera-and monito" to watch
activity outside the home.
Bail for those arrested ranged
from $25,000 to no bail set. As
of press time, all were still in
the Union County Jail.

NO FO! TO

Do you really know
who your child is
talking to online?
This image appears
when a MySpace
user does not post a
photo, which is
recommended by
the Starke PD.

MYSPACE
Continued from p. 1B

policy that no one younger
than 14 years old can use the
site, Brown said younger kids
are signing up by lying about
their age on the online form.
This puts a wider range of
children at risk for predators.
He said parents should know
who their children are talking
to online.
"Pay attention to what your
kids are doing," he said. "With
sexual predators these days, it
(MySpace) makes their lives a
whole lot easier."

Advice to protect
your child online
Brown said his advice to
parents worried about their
child's online computer usage:
"Monitor what your kids do on
the computer."
"You have to give kids
freedom," he said, but there
has to be some sort of
computer monitoring, too.
Starke PD Chief Gordon
Smith said he has bought
protective software for his
daughter's computer and only
allows her to accept e-mail
from approved users.
Brown said if he is using
instant messenger, he only
accepts messages from people
he knows. If he is worried
about this as ai adult, parents
should be concerned for their
children.
Predators can use instant
messengers, chat rooms or
Web sites to give or receive
inappropriate messages and
pictures.
"If I were a parent, I would
be real leery of what sites my
kids were on," Brown said.
Even if parents see that no
inappropriate sites are being

Page 6B TELEGRAPH, TIMES & MONITOR--B-SECTION July 6, 2006

visited or their children are not
talking to strangers online,
Brown said Web sites like
MySpace can still be
dangerous.
A person looking to commit
identity theft can take personal
information and a picture from
MySpace and make a fake ID
card or use 'it to find out more
detailed information.
"If I want to steal your
identity, that's the best way to
do it," he said.
Brown recommends that
parents make sure their
children limit what
information they put online
that can be used to identify
them.
And as for the picture, he
said, "Some kids are smart.
They just put a picture of their
cat."

Myspace.com
gives safety tips
for parents, teens
Myspace.com, a social
networking Web site, is meant
for people to communicate
online.
Anyone can type their name,
birthday and an e-mail address
to sign up for an account.
Because this is such an easy
way to communicate and post
information online, MySpace
came up with its own warnings
to users.
MySpace reminds people on
the site, "that what you post
publiclycould embarrass you
or expose you to danger."
MySpace gives what it calls
"common sense guidelines:"
0 A MySpace profile or
forum is public space. Don't
post anything you wouldn't
want the world to know.
This can include an address,
school, phone number,
instant messenger screen
name, etc. Tell children they
should avoid posting
anything that would make it
easy for a stranger to find
them, such as their local
hangouts.
0 People aren't always
who they say they are. Be
careful about adding
strangers to your.friend list.
Avoid meeting people in
person whom, you do not
fully know. 'Parents should
advise their children if they
want to meet an online
friend in person, they should
talk to' their parents first.
Any greeting should take

place in public, with a
trusted adult present.
* Harassment, hate
speech and inappropriate
content should be reported.
If someone's behavior is
inappropriate, react. Talk
with a trusted adult, or
report it to MySpace or the
authorities.
* Don't post anything that
would embarrass you later
or expose you to danger.
Think twice before posting a
photo or information you
wouldn't want parents or a
boss to see!
* Don't mislead people
into thinking that you're

Doctor plays dual roles at UC, BC health departments

BY LINDSEY KIRKLAND
Telegraph Staff Writer
After three months of
service, the health department
physician seems to be settling
into his new role.
Dr. Eftim Adhami splits his
days between the Union
County and Bradford County
health departments.
*During the week, Adhami
spends two and one-half days
at each department.
While for some people it
would be difficult to keep
track of whether they were
coming or going, but Adhami
said his split time is not
difficult.
"It works fine," he said. "I
have everything in both places.
I have an office in each place."
He carries his laptop with
him to keep track of things.
The two counties are close
together, as well, so this is an
added convenience for
Adhami, who drives to work

from Gainesville each day.
Adhami first became
interested in medicine because
he was good in math. ,
He said he won several math
competitions, but did not want
to pursue that as a career.
"I wanted to use
mathematics in medicine." he.
said.
Family members, including
his father and uncle, are
doctors; so it seemed natural to
follow that path.
Adhami said he liked
medicine himself.
"Nobody pushed me into the
field," he said.
Adhami began his medical
training in Albania.
After medical school, he
went to Greece where he did
more training and received a
degree. Eventually, he came to
the United States.
Here, he did a variety of
training courses.
"One place that I did

Dr. Eftim Adhami
training ... in pediatric cases
was St. Jude's," Adhami said.
"It was one of the best
training I ever had. It was
very high level."
He passed all the equivalent--
medical exams to be licensed
as a physician in the U.S.
Adhami said one area of

medicine particularly
interested him-public health.
"I have interest in these
counties because they have
many people who are not
insured so they come to the
health department," he said.
His goal as a health
department physician is to see
around 20 patients per day.
On a typical day, he will see
patients who need routine
physical exams, school sports
exams and some more severe
cases. These patients range
from newborns to adults.
Bradford and Union are
among areas at the top of the
list for the highest occurrence
of diabetes, Adhami said.
Many times this coincides with
cases of hypertension, obesity
and heart disease.
He said the health
department- has started a
-program with another
organization to spread the
preventative care knowledge
by educating people on diet,

exercise and medication.
The goal is to reduce
obesity, heart disease and
hypertension, together with
diabetes.
' Adhami said he has ordered
new equipment to do retina
checks for diabetes patients.
The equipment is available
in both Union and Bradford
counties. It will enable the
health department to do the
eye check-up on site instead of
sending people elsewhere.
"There's a lot of work to do
in this area," he said.
Not only with diabetes and
related disease, but with other
illnesses, like depression.
Glaucoma screening is

"Many times the glaucoma

"Very few places have such

the equivalent of a bushel of shelled corn. This

Staying prepared for

the country's call...

Sept. 14, 1900
(A growing county needed doctors
and doctors came to fill the need. Of
Interest is the fact that Bradford County
seems to have a tradition of doctors
who are related in some way, with one
Coming to the area, then another
Following later to join the practice, as
in the case below.)

Dr. A.H.

Freeman
A valued acquisition
to Starke's citizenship
Dr. A.H. Freeman, of Briensburg,
Ky., a brother-in law of Dr. J.C., Wills,
arrived here Sunday to make his home
with us. He will be associated in the
practice of medicine with Dr. Wills. Dr,
Freeman's family will arrive in the near
future and they will then begin
housekeeping.
To judge from what the doctor's
home paper says of his departure, he is
the kind of citizen to be proud of, and
the Telegraph assures him of the hearty
welcome of our people. Speaking of his
departure for Florida the Bentoh (Ky.)
Tribune says:
"Dr. A.H. Freeman, of Briensburg,
will start today for Starke, Florida,
where he will continue the practice of
medicine.
"Dr. Freeman, has been located at
Briensburg ever since he gradi ited ii
1893, He has made many warm friends
there and has been very successful in
his profession. He is a leader at the
Methodist Church and superintendent
of their Sunday school. He has always
been a sober, honest, pious Christian
gentleman and no man is held in higher
e -stimation by the people of Briensburg.
"We are losing one of our best
citizens and every one regrets it very
-much, however, we wish him even
greater success in Starke than is
possible to attain at Briensburg."

(Sadly, part of what kept the doctors
in business were disagreements which
took a violent turn. This young man had
been shot Feb. 17 of 1900, but survived.
This time he was not so lucky.)

Alex. Hickox

killed
Shot down by Andrew
Green at Sanderson
Alexander Hickox, a young man well
known in the western part of Bradford
County, was killed at Sanderson
Saturday, Sept. 8, by Andrew Green. A
dispatch dated Sept. 8 to the Times-
Union and Citizen gives the following
particulars of the tragedy:
"Andrew Green shot and killed Alex.
Hickox today at 1J1 o'clock. The trouble
started between Hickox and Green's
son, when the father took the son's part.
There were several shots fired, but only
one took effect. That was in Hickox's
back, ,to the right of the spinal column,
ranging upward, causing death almost
instantly.
"It is said that Hickox drew his pistol
first and Green killed him in self
defense.
"The sheriff came at once, and
decided that an inquest was not
necessary, as there were eyewitnesses
to the difficulty."

Soldiers spend a few days

Pursuant to the order of Capt. J.R.

Davis, Company F, 2d Regiment F.S.T.,
went into camp on West Madison Street
Thursday evening, Sept. 13. The new
tents just received from the state were
pitched on an ideal camp site, just west
of the home of S.A. Brooking, and the
soldier boys have attractive and
comfortable quarters.
Shortly after arriving at camp,
Captain Devis issued the following.
order, naming the camp: Camp
Matthews, Starke, Fla., Sept. 15, 1900.
Orders: This camp will be named
Camp Matthews, in honor of Major
Eugene S. Matthews, 2nd Regiment
F.S.T.
By order of Capt. J.R. Davis.
Tate Powell, Ist Sgt.

Camp routine
Business engagements necessitated
the absence of the men from camp
during the day, so the duty routine
ended at 5:30 o'clock a.m., but they had
plenty of work for the nights, as the
following order fixing the camp routine
will indicate: Camp Matthews, Starke,
Fla., Sept. 13, 1900.
Orders: The following will be the
routine for the night until further orders:.
Assembly for roll call at 7:30 p.m.
Guard mount at 8 p.m. Taps at 10 p.m.
Inspection of quarters by officer of the
guard at 12 p.m. Reveille at 4 a.m. Mess
call at 4:15 a.m. Drill call at 4:30 a.m.
Recall at 5:30 a.m.
By order of Capt. J.R. Davis
Tate Powell, Ist Sgt.
The camp routine was carried out
strictly and the men were greatly
benefited by the instruction received.
This is especially true of the many new.
men in the company, who had not
before had any experience in guard
duty.
Sunday morning at 9 o'clock E.S.

The inspection and drill, which
followed, was witnessed by about 300
citizens of the town, the gentler sex
being especially well represented in the
crowd. Besides the battalion

company, there were present Major

lines.
Until Sunday the men were not m-.
camp during the day after 5:30 a.m'.,
and breakfast was the only meal on the
camp bill of fare. On Sunday, however,
all three meals were enjoyed in camp. A
number of patriotic ladies provided
every conceivable good thing for the
camp table and every meal was a feast.- :
Some of the new men in the company
were induced, on one pretext or another,
to release their rifles while on guard ,
duty, and were sent to the guard tent to
do penance for this. serious breach of
orders. The lesson was sufficient, and if
they ever give up their, rifles again: it
will be to superior force.
A handsome United States flag,
flying from a high staff, loaned by
Postmaster Hull, marked the camp and
was raised and lowered with the usual, ..
ceremonies morning and evening.
The physical inability of Lt. J.D.
Alderman to be present, and the
pending resignation of Lt. FA. Moore,
left Captain Davis without the aid of a
commissioned officer and the camp
routine imposed very onerous duties -
upon him.
"The excellent deportation of the men .
during the encampment has been the /
subject of much favorable comment. .
Not the. slightest depredation was
committed,. although the men not oni
duty had perfect freedom until the houi.
for taps. Any apprehension that the
chickens about town might have felt
proved to be ungrounded, as none were '
dead or missing when camp wa.s
broken.
The camp was admirable in all other
features, as well as in deportment, and,
Captain Davis is to be congratulated oni
his success as a camp commander.

(As a growing concern, especially in
the area of agriculture, Bradfqrd
County residents were interested iii
finding and developing the best possible
markets for their wares. Added to this.
was concern about the move to change
the capital from Tallahassee to another
location, which never came to fruition,
but was the cause for much :
speculation.) ,

Jacksonville the
place...
The Telegraph has heretofore
contended that the material interest of
the people of Bradford County would
be advanced by a concentration of
effort to build up a county town that
gave promise of developinginto a ready
market for the surplus produce from our
farms. We still believe our contention
along this line is well founded, and we
believe, too, it will apply to the state as
well as the county. Therefore, we shall
favor Jacksonville in the capitol
removal contest.
Jacksonville is a live, progressive
little city and, with the cooperation of
outlying towns and counties, will groW-
rapidly into one of the foremost towns
in the South. This growth will mean
much to the producers of the state, for
no one can doubt that a home market is.
much safer then the distant marts that
can be reached only after the value of
our produce has been largely absorbed
by the cost of transportation.
The rapid growth of Jacksonville
during the past decade has
demonstrated beyond doubt that it can
be made to grow into a'city of large
proportions, and it seems only'right that
the people of the state who will share in
the benefits of such growth should lend
a helping hand in its accomplishment.

there is a pretty general move in the
direction of stump eradication. If you
read these notes carefully you will see
that in many a case mention is made of
how many acres are already stumped.

question definitely because it was

quite general, but it needs to be a whole
