Director Doug York said his office was tracking the movement of the storm closely and hoping the forecast would pull the storm away from the county. "Right now the forecasted track has the county seeing a lot of wind and rain from the storm," York said. "but there is much uncertainty in the forecast and residents should prepare now instead of waiting." As of press time, York's office was in a Level 3 monitoring stage. This meant personnel were tracking the movement of the storm, but were not manning the office on a 24-hour basis. The decision to move to level one, which is the office being staffed on a 24- hour basis would be made as the storm get closer. York reminded citizens that even if the storm came ashore as a Category I hurricane, not to be fooled into thinking it would be a non-event. "Hurricane Wilma crossed the southern tip of the state last year as a Category I storm," York said. "It caused massive flooding, power outages and some are still rebuilding their homes." He said residents of the county' should be checking with Cowboys short lived The above map shows the projected path of Tropical Storm Ernesto as of press time. Union County officials want residents to be ready storm shifts to the west. I their supplies and ensuring that hurricane preparedness kits are ready.

"You need to have at least a 72-hour supply of these items on hand because it will be that long before %ie receive anry in the event the path of the type of aid from the federal government," York- said. "It will take them that long to get. supplies into affected areas so it is important that you keep at least that amount of provisions on hand to sustain you and your family until they can get here."

The Tigers went into the game hoping a new offensive scheme would give them upper hand against the Cowboys. For the first six minutes of the game, the plan worked and Union County was able to go toe-to-toe with the Cowboys. After the Tigers first offensive series, the Cowboy's defense made several adjustments. Those changes helped Madison County coral the Tigers and got them the victory. This week the Tigers will be in The Jungle to face the South Sumter Raiders at 7:30 p.m. For more about last week's game and this week's match up, see page 6C. Photo courtesy of Chapman Photography.

He has served on the board for the last 12 years. All but one of those he has served as the board's chairman. He will go up against a newcomer in the political arena. - Richard Wright has lied in Union Couift) since 1992.-He is currently president, of the' Union County Babe Ruth Association, but has never held, political office. He has worked for the county in the past. He is presently employed as a nurse at Shands at the University of Florida.

Because there are-only t(%o opponents .for each seat, w ho will sit in them Will be,decided on Sept. 5. Supervisor of Elections, Barbara "Babs" Montpetit said the first primary is the only vote needed to decide the race, "If there' were 'three' candidates, and two were from the same party, we would need a second vote," Montpetit said, "but because there are only two, and each is from a separate party, or e'en the, same party, the race can be decided with just one election.'!' Montpetit also wanted to remind voters the books for registering for the Nov. 7 general election would \erN soon. The last da) to register to vote in the general election will be Oct. 10.

E'er) two Near since 1998, Voters have approved a half- mill of additional property tax that helps keep the library operating. Because' the measure is a special source of funding Florida's State. Constitution requires it be approved by voters every two years. 'We've been fortunate that the otherss of this county have appro ed this funding in such great numbers for the past eight years," said Library- Director Mar) Brown. "We are asking that the)' do the same when they vote on Sept. 5." The library has grown tremendously from its humble beginnings. During its first year of operation back in 1990, the library housed 3,091. books. Fourteen ears later that number has grown to well over 30,000. That same Near the library presented 14 programs to 516 children. Last year it presented 200 programs to over 10,000 children. In its first year the library circulated 9,687 books..Today, it circulates nearly five times that many. It is estimated that it circulates between 45,000 to 55,000 books presently: It has also grown into more of a modern media center..

York said that tropical- storm-force winds in Union County are not out of the realm of possibility with this system. He explained that if the storm makes landfall in the Cedar Key area, it is less then 60 miles from Union County. Tropical-storm-force and hurricane force winds from storms can extend out much further than that. - "In 2004, Hurricane Charley's eye pasted less than 50 miles west of Lake Butler, " York said. "During that time, the city experienced wind. gusts of 68 mph, which is just short of hurricane force winds. *-A- small shift to the east in the S tack of .that storm and the damage you saw in other areas could have easily happened ...h-iere." .. . He then went- on to explain that even after a storm passes, the danger still lingers. "Union County is on a ridge and very prone to the tornadic activity that is spawned once the worst of a hurricane passes,".'-York said.' "It very- important you slay in place until official word is given it is safe to proceed." Even if a hurricane does not directly hit the county, York said there, are other factors local officials must consider. "If a hurricane is going to impact an east coast county, like Flagler, their evacuation route can send them through Lake Butler," York said. "At that point, as a host shelter, we would have to begin accepting evacuees. At the same time we must look out for the needs of our own residents, so it becomes a delicate balancing act." York said that hurricane forecasters are predicting that the center of Tropical Storm Ernesto will pass within 70 miles of the county. "The probability that we might get hit in some fashion is real," York said. "We must Sbe ready in the event it happens." He also urged residents to have an evacuation plan in place in the event they needed to leave their homes. "We can get just a few inches of rain arid it cripples us for a short period of time," York said. "If we get the kind S of rain that a hurricane brings .we are going to order evacuations of low lying areas. Residents need to know where they're going to go and \ ho .... -they are going to call to let them know where their going. It is vital you have these plans in place." ------If'you have any questions-- about what should'be in your emergency kit or the track of the storm, the office has set up a number to answer; questions.

The UC Historical Society looking for items/people The Union County Historical Society is open every Monday from 9 a.m. to noon to receive articles of interest that tell the history of Union County. Items are being sought from all areas of the county-Lake Butler, Providence, Raiford, Worthington Springs and any small settlements no longer in existence.

Plans are being made to open the museum on Sunday afternoons. In order to do this, volunteers are needed to give a couple of hours of their time once a month to host and guide visitors among the treasures on display. "Please come by on any Monday morning and share your treasure," said UCHS Officer Bill McGill. "If not, give your gift of community service as a volunteer museum guide. Wildfire threat still a danger to residents Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bronson said that despite intermittent rain this summer, showers have not come with sufficient frequency to ease the Custom Computer Services Custm Systems Upgrades Re iFccs isalltel.net "" ccs@alltel.net . wildfire threat. As a result, Floridians need to remain cautious with all outdoor fires. "The summer rainy season has been unusual and has not developed like we had hoped." Bronson said. "Normally, we would be out of wildfire danger by now." The KBDI or Keetch-Byram Drought Index is a way that scientists measure the amount of moisture in the upper 36 inches of the soil. Readings are given on a scale of 0 (saturated soil) to 800 (desert-like conditions). High values of the KBDI mean that conditions are favorable for the occurrence and spread of wildfires. Typically in August, the KBDI registers in the 100 to 200 range. The current statewide average KBDI reading of 442, which is more typical of late spring when wildfire danger is high, is testimony to lack of adequate summer rainfall. Bronson is concerned that, under these conditions, the residual debris in forests from recent hurricanes and tropical storms will fuel bigger and more destructive wildfires. "Until we get more rainfall and more widespread rainfall, the large amount of uprooted or dead and dying trees and shrubs will make conditions very dangerous for our wildland firefighters," Bronson said. Florida averages about. 5,000 wildfires each year. Since January 1, 2006, 4,195 wildfires have burned 214,646.2 acres and destroyed 43 homes and 164 other structures. Meanwhile, thousands .of homes and other structures have been saved as a result of the efforts of firefighters. Tim Giebeig I 386-496-199.0. 40 E.

No opposition means the politicians automatically keep their positions for four more years. Also on Tuesday's ballot will be a referendum to continue a half-mill of property tax for funding of the Union County Public Library. First approved in 1998, the measure brings more than $90,000 to the library each year. Voters must approve the funding every two years because of the nature in which it is raised. No matter the party, voters will also be asked to chose a candidate for circuit judge. In -the Eighth Judicial Circuit, group four race, Stan Griffis, Lorraine Sherman and Stephen Pennypacker are asking for voter approval.

They will also be inspecting the log books of commercial vehicles. The checkpoints will take place throughout the county. They will take place at various times during both day and night hours. Union County Sheriff Jerry Whitehead said his department is concerned with traffic safety. "We are taking a proactive stance when it comes to traffic safety," Whitehead said. "If we can prevent just one accident with these efforts, it will have been worth it." Worthington voters polling location changed due to construction BY JAMES REDMOND Times Staff Writer The tlnion County Supervisor of Elections is reminding voters in Worthington Springs that because the town has no community center, the polling location for this year's election has changed. Barbara "Babs" Montpetit said that while the town is in the construction phase of its new town hall, voters would need to go to the Worthington Springs United Methodist Church to cast their ballot. "This is only a temporary measure while the building is being constructed," Montpetit said. "Once it is complete, the polling station will return to town hall." Worthington Springs town hall was damaged during the 2004 hurricane season. A large oak tree toppled and caused major damage to the structure. Working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and its insurance company, the town was able to procure enough funds to completely rebuild the building. Montpetit said large signs have been placed in front of the church, on S.R. 121, so voters will have no problem recognizing it. 'We've put them out early so Worthington Springs voter won't be cofifused as to where to go on election day," Mon.tpetit said. Montpetit is also asking voters that won't be in town Sept. 5 or just wish to avoid the lines at the polls to vote early. She said she hoped many people will take advantage of the chance to make their voice heard. "We are conducting this process to give everyone an opportunity to vote," Montpetit said. "The state wants every registered voter to have the opportunity to cast their ballot." Because of the county's size and population, Montpetit will offer only one place to cast ballots early-the supervisor of elections office. While some might feel only having one polling place has its drawbacks, Montpetit said it is the perfect place. "If you forget your voter registration card, we can look up your name and issue you one right on the spot." Montpetit said. "This would avoid a ballot possibly not being counted." She pointed out that those voters who do not have a voter's registration card when they go to their normal polling place will have to cast a Me BEST, eeadsAa x :25 E. Main St., Lake Butler FAX: (386) 496-2858 provisional ballot. Instances have come up were a voters registration could not be verified and the ballot was not counted. "By voting early, and at our office, you void all these problems," Montpetit said. "And you don't have to wait in line." If you do plan to early vote, Montpetit said the process is the same as if you were voting on election day. "Voters need to bring their voter's registration card and an official photo identification," Montpetit said. "If you can't find your card, take advantage of the opportunity to vote early and avoid problems. We can make sure your vote counts." The supervisor of elections office will be open this Saturday to allow voters a chance to cast their ballots. It will be the last day voters can take advantage of the early voting process. Montpetit's office is located inside the Union County Courthouse at 55 W. Main. Street on the first floor. Any questions about the process can be answered by. calling (386) 496-2236.

Section B: Thursday, Aug. 31, 2006 News from Bradford County, Union County and the Lake Region area Being around horses brings 'euphoria' to woman's life BY CLIFF SMELLEY Telegraph Staff Writer Meridith Babnick, as a child, always wanted a horse for Christmas. Santa never did 'bring her a horse, but now, as an adult, she finds herself surrounded by 27 horses. Why, you could probably say that Babnick is euphoric. Babnick and her husband, Mike, own Euphoria Stables in Bradford County. It is a place where people can board their horses, but Babnick also trains and breeds horses, as well as give riding lessons. She and her husband, who moved to Bradford from New Hampshire three years ago, both have day jobs-she works in legal sales, her husband in medical sales-but Babnick hopes her full-time career will eventually center around horses. "Right now, it's just fun," she said. Still, Babnick has come a long way from that person whose first experience with a horse had her getting thrown off. If she had her way, Babnick would've gotten a horse a lot earlier than she did. She said she begged her parents for a horse every Christmas. "They didn't have any money," she said. "One year I got a lead rope. The next year I got..a saddle' They never bought me a horse. I finally got married, and my husband bought me a horse." When she finally got that horse, her intention was to train it as a trail horse. However, when she threw a western saddle on it and mounted it, she was bucked off. "I learned that I had to slow down," Babnick said. That led to her learning how to ride in the English style. That involves the use of a much thinner saddle with no horn to hang onto (English riding involves jumping and right putting them into that," . Babnick said. Instead, she is going to focus her 'efforts on breeding a Friesian stallion she has with spotted draft mares to produce what she says should be popular horses. "They're all going to. be black and white, which is a hard color to find," Babnick said. "Everybody's got brown. and white. Nobody's got black and white." The horses Babnick owns-including 14 boarder horses-have more.- than. See HORSES, p. 8B Rebecca Bennett, 12, practices jumping with 6-year-old Twinkle Toes, an Apaloosa cross.

The newest resident at Windsor Manor nursing home is "Windsor," a 1-year-old dog that has been bringing smiles to the faces of the residents for almost six months. The nursing home's admission coordinator, Elaine Gunner, adopted the dog from Starke's pound. Gunner is also a member of PAWS. "He was named Scruffy, but the residents renamed him Windsor," Gunner said of what they guess to be a Scottish Terrier. "He was housebroken, and he's very friendly," she said. Nurse Suzanne Vanderbilt takes Windsor home when her shift is done because he can't stay at the nursing home. Windsor took time off in the summer because it was so hot, and he had to stay outside during meal times, but Vanderbilt said he should be returning to the nursing home more often, when it cools' down. "When I started leaving him at home, the residents would say, 'Where's the dog?'" Vanderbilt said. Both Gunner and Vanderbilt said Windsor is like therapy, for the patients, even though he is not a registered therapy dog. "He makes a better day for them all," Gunner said. "He has a wonderful temperament." Some of the residents had dogs that they could not bring to Windsor Manor with them, and Gunner said Windsor brings back those happy memories for them. PAWS is a volunteer group that tries "to give animals like Windsor a chance," Gunner said. PAWS volunteers adopt out pound animals every first Saturday of the month. The animal shelter also has open hours seven days a week. Jeanette Root, 78, knows Windsor likes a little pat on the head when he makes his rounds. Windsor Manor nursing home's newest resident, a 1-year-old dog named Windsor, knows how to smile for the camera. With the assistance of nurse Suzanne Vanderbilt, Windsor visits with patients, like 78-year-old Jeanette Root. "He's a pretty boy," Root said.

Meridith Babnick is pictured with Mea, a 10-year-old spotted draft horse. Mea is a rescue horse, having previously been utilized in the making of the menopausal drug Premarin, which is made from the urine of pregnant mares. "They have a catheter up them for about five or six months every year," Babnick said. "All their job is is to stand in concrete in their own manure and produce urine for this drug." HORSES Continued from p. 1B the horn would get in the way because the rider has to lean forward). An English rider controls the horse with his or her legs and movements in the saddle. It's a slower training process, but Babnick said it allows riders to fully understand their horses. "They do have a language," she said. "After you do learn it, it's just such an amazing feeling to be able to communicate like that and have them understand and, in the end, be able to ride beautiful horses." Babnick went from training her own horse to training other, people's horses. That came about because people who were getting bucked off their horses remembered her getting bucked off of hers. ."I started riding their horses a couple of times, then teaching them how I did it and" . stayed on," she said. Babnick said it takes a year to train horses fully,, but she will work with other people's horses for just a month or two, letting the owners then complete the training. Besides training horses, Babnick breeds them, starting first with thoroughbreds. She had a thoroughbred mare that used to be used for racing. Track horses are worked hard at a very young age, so they don't stay healthy for very long, Babnick said. That was the case with her thoroughbred, which had severe arthritis. "We decided to breed her," Babnick said. "When we decided to breed her, we thought, 'Well, you can't really have a breeding program with one horse,' so we bought two more brood mares off the track and bred all three." Babnick is going to stop breeding thoroughbreds, though, because she said she can't stand taking them to auctions and imagining what will happen to them because of the racing industry. "Their life as a race horse is really hard, and I don't feel enough room to roam. Babnick and her husband moved from Compassionate Friends are there !Every day you should hug your.children and give thanks that they are a part of your life. This advice comes from people wiho know best' what is irrepla.ceable-a unique organization called The Compassionate Friends. jEach year more than 218,000 ,children and young adults die in the United States.

"Here, they have all the grass they want," Babnick said. "It's a very happy place." Horses are not the only one experiencing happiness there. Thirteen girls, ranging in age from 4-14, now don't have to face a drive to Ocala to participate in one of this country's pony clubs: Babnick's place is the home of the new Alligator Creek Pony Club, which meets twice a month. The club came about because three girls who were taking lessons from Babnick were members of the pony club in Ocala. Rebecca Bennett, a 12-year-old Bradford Middle ,School student, used to attend the Ocala pony club. She said it was hard to keep up with her school work and other responsibilities while traveling to Ocala for meetings. Now, she does not have far to go and she has a place where she can'ride a horse about as often as she would like. "Here, I can come and ride any time Miss Meridith allows me to," Bennett said. Bennett's parents bought her a thoroughbred, which will soon be trained by Babnick. Babnick, however, will not do so alone. "She's coming here a couple Misfit, a 7-year-old thoroughbred, had a broken leg when Meridith Babnick bought her. The former race horse is healing and has only a slight limp. of days a week after school to help me with the whole process, by her choice," Babnick said of Bennett. "I really appreciate when people do that, but I don't require it." Babnick gets a joy out of working with young people and helping them learn more about horses. After all, she did not get that'chance as a child. "It is so rewarding," Babnick said.

Aug. 31, 2006 TELEGRAPH, TIMES & MONITOR--B-SECTION Page 9B Starke woman recounts eventful, emotional life in book BY LINDSEY KIRKLAND Telegraph Staff Writer Jesus loves me! This I know, for the Bible tells me so. Starke resident Rosemary "Shoney" Rodriguez grew up singing this in church, and she always knew Jesus loved her, but she wasn't really sure what love was. She never heard the word at home. She never heard the word when she was put in the Manzanar War Relocation Center, "one of 10 camps where Japanese American citizens, and resident Japanese aliens were interned during World War II," according to the Manzanar historic Web site. Rodriguez will retire from her job in medical records at Bradford Terrace nursing home in January, but her life story has not been a short or uneventful one. She' tells of her journey in a book she had published in July about her life, taking people from her abandonment as a child to knowing God's love today. Starting on a Brother typewriter and eventually moving to a computer, Rodriguez took four years to --write her book, "The Stolen Yearss" She described this period as Shoney Rodriguez poses next to her book "The Stolen Years" in her office at Bradford Terrace in Starke. Next to her book are pictures of her children and grandchildren, who were the first ones to receive her book. a "very emotional four years" where tears would fall onto her keyboard when she' was typing. "I wrote the book from my heart," she said. "I want my book to be inspirational and to help others, and it already has." Residents, their families and coworkers all ask Rodriguez for advice, and she has plenty of it to give. One man even found his children after Rodriguez's advice. "I just love people," she said, but this love did not come naturally. A childhood full of pain, not love Rodriguez was born to a Japanese father and a mother of Spanish, Indian and German descent in 1941 in California. The next year during World War II, anyone of Japanese descent was sent to military- style camps. Rodriguez was supposed to stay with her mother because she and her sister, Shirley Ann Kawata (Rodriguez's maiden name) could pass for Spanish, while her dad went to the camp. Eventually, Rodriguez was abandoned by her mother at After being released from camp Manzanar, Rosemary . Rodriguez , (Kawata, at the time) went to father in Cozad, Nebraska. Here she is . shown in. January 1947 when she was almost 6 years old. camp Manzanar, the only camp with an orphanage. There she was rarely held, and no one told her and her sister they were loved. After the war, she was sent to live in Nebraska with her dad who was remarried.

It was published in July. BOOK Continued from p. 9B mother had filed for divorce and was no longer in the picture. Rodriguez described in her book how she and her sister had to endure painful torture by her stepmother: being tied to a bed, burnt with a hot iron and being told they were cursed. "I think God was with me and my sister because we didn't have anyone looking out for us," she said. Her stepmother would send them to church just to get rid of them. "When I was little, we would have to go to Sunday school," she said. This is where she, learned,about God, 'and the song, "Jesus Loves" ;M e", : "You don't know what it (love) means," Rodriguez said. "You never heard it as a kid." The teenage years After moving back to California with her family, Rodriguez still endured more hard years. She never received Christmas or birthday gifts and felt unloved. She worked for long hours in the field with her dad,, a strawberry farmer. "My daddy was a number 'one green thumb farmer," she . said. She thinks her father did not know how to deal with the abuse by her stepmother and didn't think it was his place to intervene. i Rodriguez and her sister were being abused, but she said there were no laws against it at the time. She and her sister both ran away from home at separate times. Throughout the years, she bounced from foster home to foster home. They never worked out. She. got into trouble and ,vas even raped. She went to juvenile hall. She reunited with her mom who had remarried and had other .children. Rodriguez's' mom eventually said the situation was not, going to work out. After age 13, she never saw her mom again. Her first born Rodrigu,ez did not have a good example of what a mother %%as supposed to be and became a mother in 1959 at age 18; She had no assistance from her family. "I raised myself," she said. She raised the child on her own because of the domestic violence she had experience at the hand of her boyfriend. There were no laws against that either. SThe place she was living at the time was being sold, and she moved around trying to find a place to live. She was, kicked out of places for being Spanish. Her baby was taken away from her when she left it with a babysitter one day to look for a place to live. The court officials told her she could get her child back if she found a stable, male role model in its life. Her three sons Rodriguez married, and her husband was her. hope for a stable figure' in her daught t'~ : -life.: -y ," ; '- -,. However, the records were sealed, and she couldn't get her daughter back. Her daughter had been adopted. When Rodriguez and her husband were married, she had great hopes for their future. He played in major pool tournaments to make a living. Together, they had three sons. Around then, she regained contact with her sister, 'who began to live with them. One day, Rodriguez found her -sister, putting drugs in her children's dresser drawers. "She was.just as lost as I was," Rodriguez said., The sister ran.out, and to this day, Rodriguez has not seen her again. "I'm hoping my book will lead to my sister," Rodriguez said. . Internet and other searches have turned up little or no information on her sister, Shirley Ann Kawata (last name , was Tober at one point). Rodriguez's marriage fell apart. Her husband abused her and had an .affair. "I did the best I could to keep my kids safe," she said. Then, her i husband kidnapped the children by gunpoint from the babysitter and ran off. Rodriguez's three sons were Mario, 5, Johnny, 3, and David, 15 months, at the, time of the kidnapping. "I got the call at work," she said. "I went ballistic." She got a divorce and went on a search for her children to. steal them back. 23 years apart "I used to say Smith and Wesson were my best friends," Rodriguez said because she J ...

She intended to find her ex- husband and kill him. "I had a bullet, and it had his name on it," she said. She followed her ex- husband's trail at major pool tournaments. Through broken cars, only being able to afford a bicycle as transportation and jobs here and there, Rodriguez went to a half dozen states looking for her children. The FBI told her only stolen cars could be investigated, not stolen children. The California police would not even let her put flyers up of her missing children. Private investigators she hired ripped her off, but the trail led finally to Florida. After searching for 11 years, Rodriguez knew if she ever did get her children back, she needed a home for them. With her second husband, they bought what she describes as a "nice little property" in Starke, where she still lives today. Through the years, Rodriguez "got desperate" as she began having health problems. "I told the Lord, 'Let me find my kids first, and then you can have me.'" Because she missed so much time with her children, Rodriguez said she put God in, her life so if she did find her' children they would be' proud of her. "I had a lot of miracles happen to me," she said. An advocacy group in. New.

Mexico eventually found her children in 1994, when the reunion with her children first appeared in the Telegraph. Johnny and David lived in Texas. Her son, Mario, had died and lived there, too. Reuniting with her sons "(The Lord) told me 1994 was going to be my year." It was that year when she got a phone call from her son, and for the first time in 23 years, she heard the word, "mom." Her kids were raised in gangs and abused by their father, but she said she does not hold hate in her heart. "Hate," Rodriguez said. "That word is taboo for me. You have to forgive to go on in life." Even though she wanted to kill her ex-husband, she said, "God stopped me." If she had killed him, she said her children would never have forgiven her because he was the only parent they had growing up. On Sept. 9, 1994, they had a reunion in Texas. She even got to visit the grave of her oldest son, who she had not seen since he was 5 years old. All of these things fell into place for Rodriguez when she put God first in her life, she said.

When asked about how she overcame the things in her past, Rodriguez said she tried therapy, but her therapist always seemed really uncaring. "I talk to God," she said. "He's my therapist."

The American Red Cross wants to make sure you know where your family will be ,if disaster strikes. Where will your family be? They could be at work, school or in the car. How will you find each other? Will you know if your children are safe? The best answer to these questions is to plan, prepare and practice. Devise a. plan. All the steps you and your family will need to take to prepare for a severe weather emergency that may require evacuation. Decide to evacuate or stay secure at home. If you live along the coast or in a mobile home park, you will most likely evacuate in the event of a hurricane. Identify ahead of time where you will go, choosing several places, such as a friend's home in another city, a motel or a shelter. Keep the telephone numbers of these places handy, as well as a road map. You might need to take alternative or unfamiliar routes if major roads are closed or clogged. Find a secure interior location in your home.

"Anytime you get a shutout-no matter who you play-is a positive," Keystone Head coach Chuck Dickinson said. It was a challenge for the -defense because Branford's .offense had a different look 'than' it did in the spring, :Dickinson -said. Still, the - Indians limited the Bucs to five first downs through the first three quarters and less than 70 yards in each half. "I think we made,,our adjustments" Dickinson said. "The defense played well." The unit was led by linebacker Jack Taylor, who had 10 solo tackles and eight assists. Linebacker Brandon McGuire had four solo tackles and eight assists, lineman Jeramy Lewis two solo tackles and nine assists and lineman Adam Bailey four solo tackles and five assists. Defensive back Clayton Mosley got the Inidans off to a good start in the second half when he intercepted a pass on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter. Things did not get much better for the Bucs during the remainder of the quarter as they were held to no yards. Robie Latner had -a pass breakup on a third-down play on one drive, while another drive saw Lewis record a tackle for a loss of 5 yards and Sam Theisen sack Bucs quarterback David Campbell for a loss of 7 yards. Branford did gain a first down in the quarter as a result of a Keystone penalty, but fumbled the ball away on the- next play,. with Taylor recovering for Keystone. The Bucs did threaten to score on their last two possessions of the game. They drove 45 yards to the Keystone 20 on one drive, but turned the ball over on downs. Then, after a partially blocked Keystone punt, Branford drove from the Keystone 40 to the 8-yard line. A penalty and a pass breakup by Mosley forced the Bucs to set up for a 30-yard field goal. The holder failed to handle the snap, however, and the kick was never attempted. Keystone's offense actually fared worse than the Bucs in the second half. The Indians gained just 59 yards, failed to capitalize on Mosley's interception, which gave them the ball at the Branford 26, and had three drives go three-and- out. Another drive ended after four plays on a fumble. "I guess we decided to play one quarter offensively," Dickinson said. Actually, the Indians seemed unstoppable in both quarters of the opening half-a fumble See KHHS, p. 11C Keystone's Cameron Yarbrough attempts to catch a pass in front of a Branford defender. Keystone defensive back Clayton Mosley (left) attempts to corral Branford running back Brett Suggs. Indi ans travels to take on Class 2B Baldwin Friday BY CLIFF SMELLEY Telegraph Staff Writer Keystone Heights will play ..an opponent that's a little similar to the Branford team itW just defeated % hen the 'iialh travel to Baldwin for a.7 p7..m game on Sept. I." Baldwin, like Branford, experienced little success last year, going 2-7. The team scored an average of 10 points per game (getting shut out three times) while allowing an average of 28 per game. However, also like Branford, the team returns a lot of players-eight starters on each , side of the ball. Some key returners are senior running back/linebacker Matt Hufstetler. senior offensive/defensive lineman Kenny Lentz, senior offensive/defensive lineman Kenny Howe, senior linebacker Robbie DeGrave, junior running back/defensive bh.k"EfiC' Gfeen and'M 'i ,li offensive/defensive lineman V.J. Milay. Baldwin opened the season with a win, defeating Providence 33-8 last week. Its wing-T offense generated four rushing touchdowns, 371 yards on 47 carries and the first 26 points of the ball game. Providence did' not score until the fourth quarter. Baldwin's defense allowed 127 rushing yards on 27 carries and 188 passing yards on 19 completions. Baldwin's defense also had three interceptions, one of which was returned 6 yards for a touchdown. Last year, it was Keystone that did all the scoring in a 43- 0 win over Baldwin. Running back Greg Taylor paced the IA diahs, rushing for tquchdwnrs of 6, 7 and 15 yArds, While also scoring on a 60-yard reception. The Indians rushed for 170 yards on 40 carries. Keystone quarterback Blake Lott, who had. 92 yards on four completions, threw two touchdown passes. Defensively, Keystone held Baldwin to 21 yards rushing on 18 carries and 104 yards ' passing on seven completions. Michael McLeod and Josh Mangus each intercepted a pass for the Indians, who had three picks overall. Get In The Game With up to 200 NFL games this season-, you won't put the remote down!

Bradford's offense, which generated 451 rushing yards, finally stopped committing mistakes and began scoring. The Tornadoes scored four straight touchdowns, beginning with Jawan Jamison's 25-yard score with 2:41 left to play in the third quarter. Running back Rob Harris' 27-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter put the Tornadoes up for good. The spurt came after an approximate 20-minute delay as officials tried to restore order after a fight broke out. Several players from both teams were ejected, including Bradford's Corian Garrison, Dejor Hill, Clinton Jenk-ins-and Deon Sewell. Those four players will not be allowed to play in this Friday's Baker County game per Florida High School Athletic Association rules. Bradford head coach Ichad Bankston said his team, despite the incident, was able to settle down and play better. "We just took control of the game," he said. Bradford's opening drive seemed to typify and foretell the way the game would go for the Tornadoes during the first three periods. The Tornadoes started on their own 27 and, behind the running of Harris (who broke off a 28-yard scamper) and Jamison, moved the ball to the Pirates' 1-yard line before shooting themselves in the foot with a penalty that set them back 10 yards. The team then fell victim to a quarterback sack-ultimately coming away empty with the Pirates taking over on downs on their own 16. A devastating quarterback :sack by Bradford linebacker Marcus Wilson helped force the Pirates to punt on their first Bradford running back Jawan Jamison (shown in the preseason win over Matanzas) rushed for 147 yards and two touchdowns in a 33-16 win over Fernandina Beach. possession. The result was that Bradford's offense found itself in good position, starting its second drive at the Fernandina 45. The Tornadoes, behind the running of Hill, Jamison and Harris, were this time able to advance the ball to the 16. Once again, the drive stalled, and Bradford turned the ball over on downs. Despite starting their next drive on Fernandina's 47 and getting a 16-yard run from Jernard Beard, the Tornadoes were forced to punt after a costly penalty and a fumble. "We had chances early to really get a lead," Bankston said. A long return by the Pirates' James Souther set the ball up on their visitors' 38. On the second play of the series, receiver Ernest Green, on a slant pattern, caught a pass at the 15 and finessed his way into the end zone at the 5:29 mark of the second quarter. The two-point conversion attempt failed and the Pirates led 6-0. As if getting a wake-up call, the Tornadoes, after the kickoff, commenced a 76-yard touchdown drive, highlighted by the running of Jamison and a 38-yard explosion by Beard. Harris carried the ball to pay dirt from the 11 with 2:14 left in the half. The point-after kick by Glen Velasquez was good and the Tornadoes edged ahead 7-6, which would be the score at the half. The Pirates came out swinging in the second half on their first drive, starting on their own 38. Behind a 28-yard romp by Southers, and a 23- yard touchdown dash by Green, the Pirates went ahead 13-7 just two minutes into the second half. A fumble on the kickoff by Chuckie Covington, after a 20- yard return, handed the ball right back to Fernandina on Bradford's 25. Despite the gift, See BHS, p. 7C ! Bradford takes on rival Baker Friday BY CLIFF SMELLEY Telegraph Staff Writer The bad news for the Bradford football team is that it will enter its game against Baker County -without -four players, who will have to, sit out the game after being ejected from the Tornadoes' season-opening win over Fernandina Beach last week. What's the good news? Well, it could be the fact that the Tornadoes will be facing a team that failed to win a game. last year, returns few starters and is adjusting to a head coaching change. However, that opponent is a fierce rival that is coming off of a convincing win to open the season. Bradford travels to Macclenny on Friday, Sept. 1, to play the Class 3A Wildcats at 7:30 p.m. Corian Garrison, Dejor Hill, Clinton Jenkins and Deon Sewell will not be able to participate per Florida High School Athletic Association rules. Still, the team must prepare as usual. "We'll just approach it normally and go after it," Bradford head coach Chad Bankston said. It's possible the situation regarding what players are suspended could change, since the FHSAA will most likely review video from the Fernandina Beach game, Bankston said. He doesn't expect anything to change, however, in regards to who winds up sitting out for Bradford. Baker County, meanwhile, is. dealing with coming off a winless season that saw head coach, Carl West resign with one game left on the schedule. Still, the Wildcats, under new coach Bobby Johns, opened the season with a 34-8 win over Middleburg. Two of Baker's five returning starters had big plays in the win. Senior quarterback Carlos Holton rushed for a 35- yard touchdown, while junior running back Lucious Lee rushed for touchdowns of 18 and 38 yards. Lee finished the game with 175 yards on 19 carries, while Holton had 90 yards on six carries. In all, the Wildcats rushed for 401 yards on 41 carries. The Baker defense, which returns one starter, limited Middleburg to 81 rushing yards on 26 carries, but did allow Middleburg to average 18 yards per pass completion. Johns, a former Baker player and assistant coach who helped transform Bloutstown into a Class A power, inherits a team that lost its first three games last year by a combined eight points. Included in that was a 20-18 loss to Bradford after the Tornadoes blocked a 34- yard field goal attempt as time expired. Bradford's defense forced five turnovers on the night, including two after taking the lead for good on graduate James Jamison's I-yard touchdown run. The two teams were pretty much .even -in terms of rushing the ball (Bradford had 160 yards to Baker's 150), but the Wildcats were able to gain 156 yards on four pass completions. That included a 51-yard touchdown pass by Holton. Jamison had three touchdown runs for Bradford-all in the second, half..

In the early stages of the cointsL,.. the plan was effective, but the l iourth-ranked. Class ?A Madison County Cowboys made a lew adjustments and handed the Tigers a 41-6 defeat Union's offense was led by senior quarterback Austen Roberts, who was I 1 -of-20 for 126 yards. The team's running backs carried the balll 2 time, for 37 yards and earned the Tigers' only score of the game. Though the Tigers did not top the Cowboys on the scoreboard. the team did come out on top in a few categories. The Tigers had one penalty for 10 yards while the Cowboys had 16 penalties for 130 yards. The Tigers also earned one .1-~ _'.,.

Del censliv stops by the Cowh ys on critical drives also hlurl the Tigers' effort. The game began with Union winning the coinl toss and electing to kick off to the Cowboys. Madison County wasted ni> lime in getting its side of lthe scoreboard to light tip. The Cowboys went 70 yards in eight plays. With 8:10 left in the first quarter, the Cowboys quarterback called his own number and went 18 yards for the score. The extra point failed, but the Cowboys had a six point lead. Knowing the Tigers had to answer the score, Nobles used plays to do just that. Mixing a combination of the pass and run, the Tigers marched down the field to the surprise of the Cowboys and their fans. The six-play di ive culminated with senior Josh Mitchell's 2-yard touchdown run. He then attempted the extra point, which failed, leaving the score tied at 6-all. The quick strike made it appear as if the Tigers would make the game a shootout rather than the blowout many thought it would be. A strong Madison team, however, would answer right back. A kickoff return of 54 yards helped the Cowboys en rodte Union County center Jeremy Shuler lines up over the ball. Shuler played against Madison County despite the recent death of his mother. Photo courtesy of Chapman Photography. to their next score. Madison's quarterback utilized two pump fakes to get a receiver clear for a 36-yard scoring play. It took the Cowboys all of 15 seconds to score. A false start made Madison think twice about going for a two-point conversion. A extra- point try from 19 yards out failed. Being up by only six points, the Cowboys looked to put even more points on the board. Madison attempted, and recovered, an onside kick. While it did not appear the ball traveled the required 10 yards, the referee ruled it had and gave the Cowboys possession. From there it took the Cowboys six plays and four minutes to score what would prove to be the points that would put the game out of reach for the Tigers. A Madison running back took a pitch and went 16 yards to make the score 18-6 in the Cowboys' favor. The two- point conversion gave the Cowboys a 14-point lead. Union's offense showed some bright spots, moving the ball on several occasions. Each time the Tigers got momentum, however, the Madison defense found a way to break the Tigers' surge. The Cowboys just proved to be too much for the Tigers. Playing with a heavy heart One Union County player was on the field playing with a very heavy heart. Junior Jeremy Shuler's mother passed away unexpectedly just days before the game. Shuler, though, decided his place was on the football field Friday night. The offensive lineman battled in the trenches and helped keep Madison players off of quarterback Roberts. Shuler was honored by UCHS football radio broadcasters Charlotte Emerson and David Harris. "This is truly a courageous young man for being able to go out and play football after all that has happened," Emerson said. Tigers host Class 2A runner-up Friday BY CLIFF SMELLEY Telegraph Staff Writer It does not appear that things will get any easier for the Union County football team this week. The Tigers, fresh off a 41-6 defeat at the hands of fourth- ranked, Class 2A Madison' County, now play the second- ranked team in Class 2A when they host South Sumter this Friday, Sept. 1, at 7:30 p.m. South Sumter, last year's, state runner-up, is like Madison 'Co unty in that the Raiders- can compete against teams in larger classifications. The Raiders opened last season with a one-point loss to Class 6A East Ridge. This year, South Sumter lost 16-10 to East Ridge,.which is currently the I10h-ranked team in 6A. During a 9-1 regular season last year,.the Raiders scored an average of 44 points per game, while allowing just 13 points per game. In the playoffs, South Sumter outscored opponents 102-49 (including a 29-14 win over Madison County) before losing 50-15 to Chaminade- Madonna in the state championship. South Sumter's offense has lost standout quarterback Jarrod Smith,-but running back Tony Smith returns. He had 112 yards on just five carries-including a 61-yard touchdownr-in a 41-6 preseason win over Hernando. Defensively, the' Raiders return nine starters. They gave up just 163 yards in their preseason game, recovering two fumbles and intercepting four passes. Union County no longer has running back C.J. Spiller, and the Tigers had to play a half without him in last year's 49- 26 loss to South Sumter. Spiller played the first half, scoring touchdowns on runs of 5' and 25 yards, but he played just one play in the second half because of an injury. Running back Josh Mitchell, a senior this year, scored a touchdown on a 12-yard run in that game, while senior quarterback Austen Roberts added a 10-yard scoring run. South Sumter wasted little time scoring, taking its opening possession 80 yards for a touchdown.

Keystone opens district play with win over Union BY CLIFF SMELLEY Telegraph Staff Writer Mallory Wasik had 12 kills to help lead the Keystone Heights volleyball team to-a 3- 0 (.25-11, 25-8, 25-7) win over visiting Union County in the first district match for both teams. . " The Indians (2-1 prior to Aug. 29) were attempting to rebound from a loss and they had no trouble doing so. Keystone got off'to 12-1, 10-I' and 11-3 leads in each of the three games as a Union program that has struggled in recent years could never stay close. Ke. t.nce made its early run in the first game- with Lori, Albritton serving. She had an. ace and Wasik had several kills as the Indians reeled off six points. Runs of four and five points behind the serving of. Noel Bartley and Tysee Williams helped the Indians go up 10-1 in the second game. Williams won the game for 'Keystone with a service ace. Keystone, led. 18-7 in the third game before closing out the match with seven straight points behind the serving of Michelle Houser. A kill by Wasik scored match point. Albritton and Houser led the Indians with seven and six digs, respectively, while also leading the team with four service aces each. Markie Emery had four kills to lead Union.

BHS Continued from p. 4C the Pirates came away empty- handed after what seemed like a sure touchdown by running back Southers became a touchback when he fumbled the ball out of bounds through the end zone. The Tornados then began a promising drive after running back Hill chewed up 16 yards on two carries. At that point, however, quarterback Antwan Brown ran into trouble, first muffing a snap from center for a 1-yard loss, then unwisely sending up a wounded duck of a pass while being dragged to the ground by Pirate defenders. The ball was easily intercepted, at which point the fight broke out. When play resumed, the Pirates took a 16-7 lead when a 41-yard field goal attempt by Max Shaw split the uprights at 4:28 of the third quarter. * On the next series, Bradford scored on a 66-yard drive, culminating in Jamison's 25- yard touchdown dash at the 2:41 mark of the third quarter. The drive was also highlighted by a 20-yard run by Harris and an l 1-yard pickup by Beard. The score stood now at 16- 14, in favor of Fernandina, heading into the fourth quarter. As the. final quarter opened,. thi- Tornadoes found ithcmselL's in good position at the 50 and they took advantage of the opportunity. Runs by Jamison and Beard moved the ball to the 34. A couple of plays later, Harris carried the ball 27 yards for a touchdown with 10:11 left to play, giving Bradford a. 21-16 lead. The Bradford defense shut down the Pirates on their next series, which ended with the Fernandina punter having to cover a bad snap for a big loss. The Tornados took over at their opponent's 34. On the first play from scrimmage, Jamison took the handoff and raced 23 yards for a score with 6:24 on the clock. Bradford's lead was 27-16 after the two-point attempt failed. The Pirates further sandbagged themselves when they fumbled an onsides kick by Bradford and the latter took over on Fernandina's 36. On two successive runs, Harris carried the ball to the 10. Two plays later, Beard carried it in from the 1 for a touchdown wtih 5:20 left in the game. The two-point conversion attempt once again came up short and the score stood at 33-16. Bankston was pleased, overall, with the Tornadoes' first outing of the season. Although concerned that his team failed to capitalize on chances to jump out to an early . lead in the.game, he praised the running of Harris, Jamison Sand Beard, who respectively.- posted 143, 147 and 99 yards rushing. He was also complimentary of his offensive line, which last year consisted of all new starters, Bankston said the linemen are still making some mistakes, but they have improved in a year's time. "As a unit, they did a good job," he said. Bankston also singled out Wilson and Justin Henderson for their defensive efforts.

The promise of September is cooler days, plenty of football and lots of hunting. The afternoon thunderstorms are helping out -our dry conditions and we should get some rain from Enesto-our area fishing holes are in need of water. As we head into fall, the best thing that could happen is we get enough rain to fill up all our lakes and rivers. This will make for excellent fishing in the fall and next year will be as good as this year. The fishing scene always slows down in August. The fish never really stop biting, it just gets so hot that folks slow down a bit. It's hard to venture too far from the cool AC. Temperatures begin to cool down in September and fishermen turn their attention to speckled perch. All our area lakes and rivers hold plenty of specks. Some of the more popular. ones are Hampton, Sampson, Santa Fe and Lochloosa lakes. However, activity at area lakes and rivers is half of what it is in the spring. A lot of fishermen turn their attention to hunting in the fall. If you don't hunt, you'll have a lot of fishing holes to yourself. Let's turn our attention to the upcoming hunting season. Bow hunters are out.in force getting ready for the season. Bow hunting in our area opens Saturday, Sept. 23, and runs through Sunday, Oct. 22. Our first-ever crossbow season begins Oct. 23 and runs through Oct. 27. The good news about this season is that you can hunt with your bow. The only difference between bow and crossbow season is you can only shoot antlered deer. The week between archery and muzzleloading seasons is always during the rut."This should be an excellent time to bag a nice buck with a bow or crossbow. Muzzleloading season is Oct. 28-Nov. 5 and general gun season is Nov. 11-Jan. 21. Bald Eagle Bait. and Tackle in Keystone Heights held its annual Classic Bass Tournament on Aug. 23, with 34 boats qualifying. The winners were Chris Kadlec and C.K. Ryan with five fish weighing 16.14 pounds. The duo also landed the biggest bass, which weighed 6.28 pounds. Second place went to Shane O'Neal and Jared Crews with five fish weighing 13.54 pounds and third place went to Jeff Fitts with four fish weighing 12.28 pounds. Everyone knows I have a Terry's Huntin' and Fishin' store in Macclenny also. I'm a Baker County boy and I have a lot of friends in the Starke area. We'll be pulling for pur teams this Friday night. This football rivalry between Baker County and Bradford goes back a long way, but when it's said and done, we'll, all be friends the next day. I'll catch up with you in a couple of weeks and we'll talk a little more about hunting. Bradford runners set a number PRs at jamboree BY CLIFF SMELLEY Telegraph Staff Writer Ten cross country runn from Bradford Middle a Bradford High school recorded personal-record tin at the Buchholz Jamboree Santa Fe Community Colle in Gainesville on Aug. 26.

That fumble was recovered by the Bucs at the Keystone 49. From there, they drove to the 17-yard line before turning the ball over on downs. The Indians took care of the ball the second time they touched it, putting together a '12-play, 83-yard drive that ate ,.up nearly seven minutes. Running back Greg Taylor, who finished the game with 86 * yards on 14 carries, was the workhorse. He had" seven carries for 39 yards, bLt it was a pass that capped the drive-a 3-yarder from Blake Lott to *Josh Mangus for a touchdown .,at the 6:25 mark of the second quarter.

The result of that call was Cameron Yarbrough scoring on an end- around from 34 yards out, putting the Indians, with the PAT, up 14-0 with ,1:57 remaining in the half. I "I thought we'd have a chance with (that play) because now we've got somebody who can run that thing," Dickinson said. The Indians were not done scoring in the half, even though they did not get the ball back until just 40 seconds remained on the clock.
