Any child might be afraid often animal
whose shoulders stand higher than the
child's head-but for disabled children,
that fear is usually multiplied many times
over.
That fear will soon be a thing of the past
for most of the exceptional education stu-
dents in Uni'on County. Thanks to a grant
and a lot of hard work by a large number
of volunteers, ESE students at Lake Butler
Elementary School and Lake Butler Mid-
dle School will be ready to "cowboy up"
in no time.
The school 'district recently received ap-
proximately $3,000 in federal funding to
provide horse therapy and pet therapy to
students with disabilities. That therapy is
provided through a cooperative effort by
Amazing Acres on Southwest 58th Trail in
Lake Butler and All About K-9s on North-
west Lower Springs Road in Lake City.
Amazing Acres is a nonprofit organiza-
tion that has partnered with Parents Help-
ing Parents of Florida to provide horse
therapy to handicapped and disabled chil-
dren. All About K-9s is a canine obedience


school that has joined the two nonprofit or-
ganizations in order to provide this service
for Union County students.
The program is still in its infancy, but
several ESE students got into the saddle-
some of them for the first time in their
lives-April 6. The program began several
weeks prior to that, with the students first
learning more about both horses and dogs.
What do they eat? How do you take care
of them? What are horses and dogs afraid
of? What are they likely to do when they
become afraid? How do you calm them
down again?
Each student worked at his or her own
pace and some became comfortable with
the animals more quickly than others. The
ones who became most comfortable with
the horses mounted up on April 6 (middle
school students) or April 15 (elementary
school students). Others will have their op-
portunity to ride as the program advances.
Horses, dogs, bunnies, chicks, and
other animals are loaded up once a week
on Tuesday by personnel from Amazing
Acres and All About K-9s-with the as-
sistance of a lot of volunteers-and trans-
ported to Union County fields near one of
the two schools. The program alternates


weeks between LBES and LBMS. -
The ESE students are brought to the
fields to participate in the program. The
program is highly individualized and each
child participates based on what he or she
is ready for. Some of them ride, some
groom the horses, some practice giving
commands to the dogs, some groom the
dogs and some pet the smaller animals,..-
"There is nothing more satisfying than
to see a child's face light up with a smile,"
said ESE Director Debi Dukes. "We had
a bunch of smiles when some of our el-
ementary and middle school students got
to touch and smell a horse or pony for the
very first time."
The program is definitely enjoyable
for the students, but is it also beneficial?
"Yes," said both Dukes and Kristie Ward
of Amazing Acres.
Horse therapy has both physical and
psychological advantages for the disabled.
According to Ward, it helps disabled chil-
dren and adults improve their balance,
strengthen their muscles, improve their co-
ordination, improve reflexes and increase
the range of motion in their joints. It even

Public officials statewide are
waiting anxiously to see what this
year's state budget provides-
and what it doesn't.
The Union County School
Board, administrators, teachers
and parents are no different.
They all want to know how much
"the school budget will be cut
and what that will mean to the
children who attend school and
the families who rely on income
from school district jobs.
While it is still early days in
the budget process and no one
can say for certain what the
2011-2012 budget will hold-it
probably won't be good news.
"We're going to have to take
a close look at everything," said
Superintendent Carlton Faulk.
"There's going to be a tough
couple of financial years ahead
of us. Administrative staff is
working hard to come up with
the best ideas we can to educate
our students without cutting the
classroom."
Faulk said the school system


will do everything it can to avoid
letting people go. For example,
the director of personnel and
curriculum, Bobbie Morgan, is
retiring this year and Faulk said
her position will not be filled.
The tasks she currently takes
care of will be divided among
other district office personnel.
Faulk said it is still too early in
the budget process for the school
system to determine whether or
not any jobs would be lost.
Finance Director Renae Prevatt
said the budget has already taken
some severe cuts due to falling
revenues.
"We have been making cuts
here (in Union County) over the
last few years in order to deal
with declining revenues," said
Prevatt. "We have already been
trimming everything down and
we are now essentially at the
point where salaries and benefits
are all that are left to trim."
"We need classroom teachers in
place and the funding difference
(we will be dealing with) might
mean we have to find different

LB yard sales may


soon need permit


BY MARCIA MILLER
Telegraph Staff Writer

An ordinance that will be up
for adoption in May, if it is ap-
proved, will require people who
are holding yard sales inside the
city limits-on property other
than their own-to purchase a
$10 permit from the city.
The ordinance will be dis-
cussed for final reading at the
Monday, May 9, Lake Butler
City Commission meeting at
5-15 p.m. in city hall.
The ordinance was apparently
prompted by complaints the city
commission received regarding
the block-long, multi-booth yard
sale that appears each weekend
on S.R. 121 at Sprinkle Field in
Lake Butler.
Some local business owners,
the most vocal being Jet's Cloth-
ing owner Jeanette Carroll, were


dissatisfied that the vendors in-
volved in the yard sale were sell-
ing some of the same types of
items they carried in their busi-
nesges. Carroll said that even
though many of the yard-salers
are at Sprinkle Field almost ev-
ery weekend, they are not buying
business licenses or paying sales
tax. She said the yard-salers are
taking profits away from perma-
nent businesses that do pay tax-
es-to the detriment of both the
businesses and the city, which
receives a portion of those taxes.
If passed, the ordinance would
require a permit foreveryone who
is having a yard sale on property
that does not belong to them. It
does not pertain to people having
yard sales on their own property
and does not pertain to school,
church or nonprofit groups.

Purple Squad Tigers

earn championship


Apply now for
Woman's Club
scholarship
The Lake Butler Woman's
Club is offering a scholarship
for a female resident of Union
County to attend an accredited
university or college in the state
of Florida.
The scholarship will pay
$500 to the individual. If you
are interested in applying, you
can pick up an application
packet from Tangelia Mackey
in the guidance department at
Union County High School,
1000 S. Lake Ave. All appli-
cations must be submitted by
May 1.


The 8-and-under Tigers Rook-
ie Purple Squad from Union
County competed in the 2011
Chevy Grand Slam Invitational
Tournament in Starke April 8-10
and brought home the winning
trophy.
Last year, the Tigers fell just
short and went away with the run-
ner-up trophy. This year, Coach
Paul Kish said the boys were de-
termined not to be a bridesmaid
again and entered the tournament
with the attitude that it was theirs
to lose.
After wins against Melrose
#2 and the Starke A's, the stage
was set for a showdown against
the Lawtey Braves on April 9.
After a very one-sided game
for five and a half innings, the
Tigers found themselves down


12-4 going into the bottom of the
last frame. In almost storybook
fashion, the Tigers pulled out
an incredible comeback, scoring
nine runs to steal a victory frop
a very talented and well-coached
Lawtey club.
Sunday afternoon, April 10,
found the Tigers once again pit-
ted against the Lawtey Braves
for the championship. The Tigers
jumped out in front early, scoring
seven runs in the top of the first,
and never looked back on their
way to a 16-3 victory.
On behalf of the Union County
Tigers Purple Squad, coaches
said they would like to thank
everyone behind the scenes for
hosting such a great tournament.
They said they are already look-
ing forward to the 2012 event.

The Union County School
Board will hold its regular meet-


funding sources to make that
happen," said Prevatt.
Both the Florida Senate
and the Florida House of
Representatives have crafted
preliminary education budgets.
Each budget is different and
both will have to be intensely
discussed and negotiated before
the final education budget is
approved. The final budget will
likely fall somewhere between
the two proposals.
Prevatt said that when the
two budget proposals turn into
one approved budget, the Union
County school system will likely
face some tough decisions.
At a school board budget
workshop April 12, Prevatt used
the budget proposals currently
being discussed by the House and
Senate to prepare a comparison
of what those budgets would
mean to Union County.
She provided the school board
with the numbers the Union
County school system would
be looking at if either of the
proposals were 'to pass as they
are now.

of funding based on the number
of students who attend school in
the county. The school system
has to estimate the student
population each year and-if
those estimates are wrong, or
if the enrollment declines-
state funding can decrease
during the .ongoing school year.
Other funding sources change
throughout'the year, as well.



YARD
Continued from Page 1A

The permit will cost $10 and is
good for 24 hours. One city com-
missioner pointed out that buying
two $10 permits every weekend
-would be costly. Commissioner
LeRoy Stalvey pointed out that
the city's existing ordinances al-
low a person to have only two
yard sales per year without buy-
ing a business license and paying
sales tax. "That's what our ordi-
nance already says," said Stalvey.
"That's the rule right now."
If a person wants to set up a
yard sale on Sprinkle Field ev-
ery weekend, he br she would
need to purchase a business li-
cense-in the range of $30-$40
per year-instead of getting the
yard sale permit each time. The
person would also have to pay
sales tax to the state.


Multiple "calculations" are
made during the year to adjust
the budget up or down. The
third calculation is the latest
information the Union County
school system has on the amount
of revenue it will receive in the
current budget year.
If you compare the current
year's school system budget
to the budget the Senate is
proposing for next year ($14.1
million or $14,113,200), Union
County would be looking for
an additional $1.2 million
($1,190,428) in state funding to
operate at the same level.
Under the House's budget,
Union County would fare even
worse. The House proposal
would give Union County $14
million ($14,052,393), and
would leave the county looking
for an additional $1,251,235
(approximately $1.3 million).
The actual amount received
by Union County schools will
likely be somewhere in between
the two proposals, but either
way, the school system will have
to get by with significantly less
state revenue-more than $1
million less-next year than it
had this year.
At the workshop, Prevatt
had gone through both budget
proposaf- ipd pointed out.some
of the' biggest chunks of money
Union County schools may be
lacking next year.
1) State Fiscal Stabilization
Fund dollars provided Union
County with $679,486 in the
current budget, but will provide
no funding in the 2011-2012
budget in either proposal.
These are American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act funds,
which helped state agencies
replace declining revenue over
the last few years. They were
designed to be temporary. "We
knew we were going to lose those
dollars," said Prevatt..

Prevatt also provided the board
with an estimate of the amount of
money school board employees
will have to begin contributing
from their salaries into their state
retirement accounts. This may
actually help the school district's
budget outlook since those
funds will not have to come out

it won't help the employees'
budgets any.

HORSE

helps people deal with disorders
that cause jerking or "spastic"
muscles. The jerking is reduced
by the rhythm of the motion of
the horse, Ward said.
The psychological benefits
pertain to 'both horse and pet
therapy of all kinds. Ward and
Julie Mandy of All about K-9s
said animal therapy improves
the child's general sense of well-
being, helps to boost their con-
fidence, increases their interest
in the outside world and in their
,own lives, and helps them devel-
op patience, emotional control
and self-discipline.
They also said that if a child
learns he can control the actions
of a horse or a dog, he is more
likely to feel a sense of control
over his own life. Disabled stu-
dents have less of that sense of
control because they have to rely.
on so many other people for so
many things.
Dukes said horse therapy, "has
been proven to contribute posi-
tively to the neurological and
sensory needs (of the disabled
person), and to promote the
cognitive, emotional and social
well-being of people with dis-
abilities."
Dukes said that anyone who
watches one of the sessions will
:not wonder if there are advantag-
es to the therapy. "When watch-
ing the interaction between the
horses and the children, it is easy
to observe the connection be-
tween them. The children are not
the only ones smiling," she said.
Both Ward and Mandy are
very committed to the program.
The two women and their fami-
lies have made sacrifices of both
money and time in order to pro-.
vide this program to the local
schools.
"Animal therapy is so won-
derful," said Ward. "Just to see
a disabled child holol a dutk and
smile is a great reward."
Ward was a nurse with physi-
cal therapy training who had
been around horses for most of
her life. She worked with autistic
children, who were locked into
their own world and haing.diffi- .
culty interacting with the world-
around them. She said she began
to realize that if she could get the
children to interact with a horse,
it would bring them into closer
contact with the real world.
"With autistic children, you
have to build a bridge into their

Some of these funds may also be
cut, resulting in more cuts to the
Union County school system's
budget. The federal budget
proposals are still not available,
-however.
The school board is planning
another budget workshop soon
and, in that workshop, they
hope to have budget figures
broken down by school so they
can look at the funding for each
"cost center." That workshop
will be held on Tuesday, April
26, immediately following the
regular school board meeting
at 1:30 p.m. The meeting and
workshop will be held in the
school board meeting room at
55 S.W. 6'h St. (across S.R. 121
from the Lake Butler Middle
School gym).


world and use that bridge to bring
them into ours," said Ward. Her
horses became bridges.
She first began horse therapy
at her own farm with her autis-
tic patients. "A child who almost
never spoke began speaking.
Children that wouldn't make eye
contact with people before began
looking into my face when I talk-
ed," she said..
The program grew from there
and now Ward provides horse
therapy to children with a wide
range of disabilities at her Lake
Butler. farm. She became in-
volved with Parents Helping Par-
ents and Amazing Acres evolved
into a nonprofit organization.
She met Mandy after Ward's
husband, who is an HVAC tech-
nician, repaired Mandy's heat.
He told Mandy about his wife's
program. Part of Mandy's busi-
ness was training service dogs
for disabled veterans and provid-
ing therapy\dogs for vets with
post-traumatic stress disorder.
The two programs just seemed
to make sense together, they
said.
Both women still provide ani-
mal therapy services from their
homes, but becoming involved
in the school program has given
them ideas. They want to go mo-
bile.
They said when a friend of
theirs first approached them and
suggested that they pack up the
horses and dogs and take them
to the local schools, they weren't
sure it was a very do-able propo-
sition. It seemed like a huge un-
dertaking. Now that they're do-
ing it every week, they said they


realize there are a lot of other
people who would also benefit
from a mobile animal therapy
operation.
They're looking for donations
to buy a van from a county auc-
tion. The used van would make
it easier to pack up all the equip-
ment and some of the smaller
animals. Anyone who is will-
ing to help can contact Ward
at 386-623-1527 or Mandy at
386-937-7453. If you prefer E-
mail, contact them at kwardfl@
windstream.net or JulieMandy@
wildblue.net. Donations are tax-
deductible.
If you can't donate funding,
but would still like to help with
the program, volunteers are also
always needed. You don't need
to know a lot about horses or
dogs to volunteer. Each time a
disabled child gets onto a horse's
back, several "side walkers" stay
with the child to ensure his or her
safety. If you can walk, you can
help.

Members of the Lake Butler
FFA agricultural communications
team recently published a
children's book titled, "Gator
Tales."
"Gator Tales" is the story of
a grandfather and his grandson,
Andy, and their visit to an
alligator farm. "Gator Tales" is
designed to enhance agricultural
literacy while also promoting
scientific vocabulary as the
story of the American alligator's
transition from the wild to the
farm is told through a discussion
of the alligator's history, habitats
and harvesting.
"Gator Tales" was written by
seven UCHS students-Linsey
Clark, Kelsey Harrison, Megan
Mobley, Ryan Perez, Sierra
Self, Taylor Wilkins and Shelby
Wooddell.
The book was also guided by
the input from second-grade

their own properties as well.
Homeowners who are clean-
ing up their own properties dur-
ing Beautification Month can
have the extra trash and debris
removed by the city at no charge.
The city can even help with re-
moving junk cars from the prop-
erty of homeowners who are,
trying to clean things up. Call
386-496-3401 for assistance or
for more information.

Wake Games create competition, fun and sense of pride


BY CLIFF SMELLEY.
Regional News/Sports Editor
Keystone Heights High
School junior Cason Stanford
has been wakeboarding for
approximately a year. He does
it, he said, because it's fun.
That makes perfect sense. So
why, then, should a wakeboard
competition or tournament be
so stressful and ultimately no
fun?
That was the question Chad
Hovsepian asked himself 'arft
what ultimately led him and
his staff 'at Lake Area
Watersports and The Wake
Station to create the High
School Wake Games, an event
that allows high school
students to compete as clubs
representing their schools.
Hovsepian, the owner of the
Melrose-based Lake Area
Watersports and The Wake
Station, began sharing his idea
for such an event with staff,
customers and friends last
year. The response and
feedback he got was positive
and supportive.
"We charged forward and
decided to go for it," he said.
The inaugural High School
,Wake Games event was held
April 9, with the second event


scheduled for this Saturday,
April 23, from 10 a.m. until 3
p.m. at Hampton Lake Bed and
Breakfast. Admission is free.
Stanford is a member of the
Keystone Heights club, which
will conipete against the Bolles
School at I p.m. The event
opens with a competition
between Bishop Kenny and St.
Augustine, followed by a
Gator Land Ski Club
exhibition at noon.
Typically, a wakeboarding
competition pits individuals
who are highly skilled against
each other. Hovsepian said
such events seldom seem to be
enjoyable as people are
ultimately upset with the
scores handed down by those
judging the events.
"It never seems to be a real
fun event with that type of
format," Hovsepian said.
"There always seems to be
something that's just not fair.
It creates a little bit of stress
for the promoters and
organizers.
"What I tried to do was
come up with something that
eliminates all those stress
points and just injects pure
fun."


Keystone Heights club member Cason Stanford rides behind the Super Air Nautique 210 that is used for the High
School Wake Games.


There are a couple of ways
in which the High School
Wake Games differ from other
competitions. One is that the
event is a team sport.
Hovsepian said his mission
was to incorporate the scoring
and organization from other
team sports,. such as baseball
and football.
Whereas wakeboard
competitions typically pit
highly skilled individuals
against other highly skilled







S The Keystone
'' club's top rider,
Trey Bland, is
pictured getting
some air time.


individuals, the High School
Wake Games are open to
riders of all skill levels, with
riders on each club competing
against riders of comparable
skill levels. Each club's
number-one rider, for example,
would be the least-skilled
rider, while the number-five
rider would be the most-skilled
rider.
That was a concept some
failed to grasp at first.
Hovsepian said one of the
statements he heard, the most
when he was trying to find
clubs to participate was that a
particular school did not have
five students who could ride a
wakeboard.
"That's not what they
meant," Hovsepian said.
"What they meant was, 'We
don't have five superstars in
our school.' I guarantee you
every school out there has five
people in it that know how to
wakeboard.
"The number-one question
was, 'Can we form a club with
riders from different schools?'
It was very tempting to let this
happen. However, the core
value that will make this event


repeatable for years to come is
that each club must come from
the same high school.
"It took them a while to
figure that out."
Hovsepian said the mixture
of skill levels creates more of a
relaxed atmosphere at the
games. Stanford said it does
have an effect.
"You don't have to go out
there and really worry about
being a star-~r professional or
anything," he said. "You can
just go out there, ride a little
bit and get your confidence
up."
As for judging the games, it
comes down to the clubs' own
coaches, who must look each
other in the eye and honestly
say who they think was better
during a particular round. The
coaches of the two clubs
competing head to head-
along with a tiebreak judge-
ride together in the boat to
observe their wakeboarders.
' "They agree on who gets the
point," Hovsepian said. "If
they can't agree, (a) tiebreak
judge handles it."
As riders compile points for


their clu6s, the scores are kept
on shore for the benefit of
spectators.
At the end of the event,
riders leave the same way they
came-as a club. That's what
Hovsepian saw after the April
9 event, despite the chilly,
windy conditions riders had to
deal with.
"Overall, it still created an
environment where having fun
as a club was more important
than complaining as an
individual," Hovsepian said.
"That's really what we were
after."
Hovsepian was shooting for
an earlier start to the High
School Wake Games during
the latter part of 2010, but was
unable, to pull that off. The
time of the year hurt that
effort, as well as the fact the
event had no logo or anything
else that really set it apart as
more than a simple idea.
However, the people whom
he had shared his idea with
kept asking about the event
and saying how good of an
idea they thought it was.

Bradford student Smith named to Santa Fe hall of fame


BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Regional News/Sports Editor
Being invovled was never a
problem for Santa Fe College
student Brooke Smith, but she
usually did so without seeking
the glare of the spotlight.
Well, she has gone through a
bit of a transformation as a
student at the Andrews Center,
and the spotlight will shine on
her as an inductee of the
college's student hall of fame.
''I was really excited because
I've never really gotten any
awards like that before," Smith
said of being elected to the hall
of fame. "I've always.been an
honor roll student, but I've
never gotten any big awards
like this."
Induction into the Santa Fe
College hall of fame is limited
to one-tenth of I percent of the
student population during a
given year. To be elected, a
student must really stand out?
especially in terms of "superior
leadership," as stated in the
school's hall of fame criteria.
Hall of fame induction, as
listed on the Santa Fe Web
site, is bestowed upon those
who are involved as student
leaders and who have set
themselves apart "from other
outstanding student leaders as
especially deserving of the
unique honor."

Smith, a 2009 Bradford
High School graduate, has
helped her fellow students by
organizing study groups and
has been involved in Student
Activities as the vice president
of that committee.
During two days of the
week, the first person visitors
to the Andrews Center see
upon their entrance through the
front door is Smith, who mans
the front desk as a participant
in the school's work-study
program.
"It's a good opportunity to
kind of come out of my shell
because even though I do
community service and stuff
like that, I'm kind of shy,"
Smith said. "I don't usually go
to the forefront, but this has
made me to where I can talk to
people a little more easily."
Colleen Scott, an adviser at
the Andrews Center, has
known Smith since she became
a dual-enrollment student as a
high school junior. It has been
a joy for Scott to watch
Smith's confidence grow each
day she works the front desk.
"It's like she's blossoming,"
Scott said.
Scott also got to know Smith

treasurer of the club, of which
Scott is an adviser to-and was
the one who nominated Smith
for the Santa Fe hall of fame.
"She's just always been an
outstanding, young lady,"
Scott said.
Smith said it was her
participation in the work-study
program that opened her eyes
to what she could do as a.
student at the Andrews Center.
That led to her involvement
with Student Activities, though
she wasn't necessarily looking
to be the group's vice
president.
"I wasn't seeking leadership
at first," she said. "I'm usually
just the type to kind of hang
out and just do what I can for
the group. I was nominated, so
I accepted the position."
Smith said it is stressful at
times in trying to balance her
involvement in organizing
events as part of Student
Activities and devoting time to
her studies.
"I do the best I can," she:
said.
Once she completes her
associate's degree, Smith is
unsure of whether she wants to
transfer to a school such as the
University of Central Florida,
University of Florida or
Univesrity of North Florida, or
remain at Santa Fe and enroll


in advance from any K-Kids or
Kiwanis Club of Starke
member, or at the Santa Fe
College Andrews Center.
Tickets will also be on sale at

"I had thought about
(nursing) when I turned 17
because my grandmother had a
friend who was a nurse,"
Smith said. "I was like, 'That

started looking into healthcare
classes and stuff like that. I

One decision Smith won't

informing her that she had
been elected to the hall of

rather low-key.
"It was sent as an 'e-mail,

Smith said. "It was an

"Something told me to keep
going on it," Hovsepian said.
Hovsepian did his best to get
the word out. Amy Zackowski
of Whispering Dog Design
created a logo.
"The logo was really the
catalyst for promotion,"
Hovsepian said.
A Facebook page was
created. Hovsepian talked
about the event during an
interview with WTLV of
Jacksonville. He talked about
it with his customers.
"Each participating club had
a key contact that would talk it
up. (Senior) Trey Bland held
that role for Keystone," said
Hovsepian, who also handed
out promotional T-shirts for
hih school students to wear to
hool during February.
.,Stanford said the word
=read at Keystone Heights Jr.-
. High School.
. 'It got around," he said. "I
as like, 'All right, cool. I
gnt to wakeboard because I
love doing it.'"
For a school to have a club,
It had to generate a roster of at
least five riders-with each
joer getting parental'consent
for -participation-and have a
Zoach or coaches.
Hovsepian carTnot say
S.nough about the adults who
tfre coaching the clubs. Some
re, as you might imagine,
parents of -participants, but
some aren't, such as Keystone
,oach Dave Poncher.
3 "They donate their own time
2nd their own boats to hold
practices on their own
schedules to .help these kids
,let better," Hovsepian said. .
f_ Poncher coaches the
_,-lnne club along with Matt-
Soncher. Andy Wilcox, Mike
:avis and Logan Middleton.
Hovsepian credits Dave
Poncher for being the key guy


who was on board from the
beginning.
"He has no son or daughter
on the team," Hovsepian said.
"He's just a very good
wakeboarder. He liked the flair
of High School Wake Games."
A bit of flair is a trophy-
created by the Trophy Shop in
Gainesville-that stands 28.
inches and, like the Stanley
Cup, will rotate among the
champions of each season.
"I'd really like our school to
have that," Stanford said.
The trophy and the club T-
shirts that bear a splashy logo,
sponsors and are in
. participants' respective school
colors should create a sense of
pride in what Hovsepian
believesis a unique event.
"I don't think this has. ever
really been pulled off before-
creating clubs in high school,"
he said. "I don't know why."
Now that the idea has grown
into an actual event,
Hovsepian said the interest has
already spread to younger
children who look forward to
being able to compete when
they become students at
KHHS.
Stanford said the younger
brother of .current KHHS
member Kyler Teague is ready
to get involved.
"Kyler's little brother-he's
in sixth grade-is really, really
pumped to be on the team next
year," Stanford said. "He's
really small, but he can ride."
Stahford said he's excited
about younger children
wanting to get involved. He
wants to see the club continue
to exist.
As for him, he's got one
more year left at KHHS and
looks forward to competing as
a senior.
"I'll definitely do it next
year," Stanford said.
The KHHS club, which is
second in the points standings'
to Bolles, consists of Stanford,
Teague, Bland, Autumn Bland,
Becca Johnson and Josh

Bolles defeated St.

What's happening at the Capitol


Representative Janet Adkins
shares her thoughts and activities
during the sixth week of the
Legislative session.

\\cck sis of legislative session has been full
fl' anticipation and speculation. Much of the
sjihconimmittec work has been completed, so the
meeting schedule has slowed considerably. This
mean,;s lhat man\ legislative ideas and proposals
csseniiallx die in committee having not been

M\ \week in Tallahassee began with the drive

small trucking companies. HB 1263, was on the

small 'uCL'kimg companies, many of whom are

with representatives of the Florida Association

meetin- with realtors from Nassau County. About
i lenlt\ realtors crowded in mi office to talk about
proper\ insurance, property tax assessments,
septic tank inspections,and affordable housing. We
took time to pose for a' picture outside of House

It's not fair to our kids that we

Mx son is on a team that has
had smec controversial calls
made against it, and we've lost,

threats and I hope to be able to explore the issue
over the summer months.
I spent most of Wednesday morning in the Select
Committee on Government Reorganization. We
had an interesting panel discussion regarding
health care services and when it is appropriate and
cost effective to have private providers involved
in service delivery. The committee looked at how
purchasing works, asked questions, and heard
testimony from experts. The two-hour meeting
flew by.
After lunch I was off to the education committee
meeting where we had a lengthy debate on HB
301 dealing with protecting youth athletes from
concussions and head injuries. An amendment was
adopted toallow notonly physicians and osteopathic
physicians, but also chiropractors, to return a youth
athlete who is suspected of sustaining a concussion
or head injury to practice or competition.
All day long, I awaited an email announcing
the schedule for budget conference. Finally, late
in the afternoon, the announcement was made
that conference between the House and the Senate
would not start until after the Easter break. This was
both good news and bad news. It was good news
because it meant I would be able to go home this
weekend, but bad news because it sets our schedule
back quite a bit. While the House is scheduled to
work two days
during Easter
week,theSenate
will be out of Danc
session for the
full eek. Glen Snow &

camaraderie and it meant no Chef Boyardee ravioli
for dinner! They played video clips of members
debating the budget from the prior week. It was
hilarious to hear so many members use the words
"tough", "difficult", and "hard" to describe the
budget process. It was suggested that we were in
need of a thesaurus. Leader Lopez-Cantera was
the worst offender by far, using these words seven
times in his debate.
The next morning I visited a local bookstore on
a mission to buy a thesaurus. It was great to see
the look on Leader Lopez-Cantera's face when
he found the thesaurus in his chair on the House
floor. Inside the cover, I wrote a note providing a
list of synonyrfis for the word "tough" and thanked
him for his sedulous work. It helps to have a sense
of humor in this process.
Thursday morning I had meetings with
representatives from credit unions and Take
Stock in Children. The Senate has $3.8 million
for Take Stock in Children, while the House has
$3 million. This, too, will be a conference issue.
The afternoon was spent on the House floor, about
four hours in all. The most controversial issues on
'second reading dealt with the court system. CS/
H.IR 7111 proposes a constitutional amendment to
expand the justices on the Florida Supreme Court
from seven to ten, with five justices permanently
assigned to a civil division and five justices
permanently assigned toacriminal
division. The joint resolution
expands the ability of each .
division of the Supreme Court to Cow l
consider appeals by removing the
jurisdictional prerequisite that an
express and direct conflict exist RE_
between the District Court of
Appeals or the Supreme Court on E \

Appropriations committee to present HB 7157
dealing with Reemployment Services. I presented
a strike-all amendment that expanded the original
bill beyond repealing data collection and rule
making authority by the Department of Education
as it relates to reemployment services. The strile-all
amendment actually eliminated the Department's
regulatory role in this area. This is truly a "less
government" bill. The Department was requiring
the collection of data for which there was no
apparent purpose or use for the data. Eliminating
this regulation allows business owners to focus
resources on creating jobs.
There were 18 bills on the agenda and the
committee was scheduled to meet for 90 minutes
before session and three hours after session. I wvAs
truly blessed to be called to present my bill in the
first portion of the meeting, after waiting just over
an hour. Now we have four bills ready to be heard
on the House floor.
At 11:30 a.m., session was called to order. We

state Constitution created a Supreme Court bot
gave it no justices of its own. At that time, the
Supreme Court was simply a panel consisting of

Verschaeve

claims medal at

weightlifting

state meet
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Regional News/Sports Editor
Keystone Heights High
School junior Nick Verschaeve
just missed out on earning a
medal at last year's state finals
in weightlifting with a seventh-
place finish.
Verschaeve had no trouble
earning a medal this year,
placing third in the 199-pound
class at the April 16 Florida
High School Athletic
Association Finals, which were
held in Kissimmee.
Keystone coach Lantz
Lowery said he knew
Verschaeve had a shot at
challenging for a state title.
Verschaeve had the fourth-best
total in the 199 class heading
into the state finals.
Verschaeve wound up
finishing with a 610-pound
total, with a bench press of 365
and a clean and jerk of 245.
Interlachen's Jared Makatura
won the class with a 640 total,
while Baker County's Jeremy
Wannamaker was runner-up
with a 635-pound total.
Lowery said what hurt
Verschaeve, who had the
highest total in the bench press
by 10 pounds, was a knee
injury that has been affecting
his performance in the clean
and jerk.
"If he was at full strength, he
had a chance to win it,"
Lowery said.
Fortunately, Verschaeve has
another year to try to win a
title, but Makatura and
Wannamaker will return next
year as well. Makatura is a
freshman, while Wannamaker
is a sophomore.
Two other lifters from
Keystone competed in John
McCormick and Joey Willis.
McCormick placed I11th in the
154 class with a 495 total (270
bench press, 225 'clean and
jerk), while Willis was 12"' in
the 119 class with a 350 total
(185, 165).
(Caz Fain ,of Blountstown
won the 154 class with a 575
total, while Joel Ensminger of
Arnold won the 119 class with
a 435 total.


Bradford's Brian Blackshear
competed in the 139 class, but
only compiled a successful lift
in the bench press (200).

Premier Dealer as a testament to
the hard work and dedication

all of the state's circuit judges.
The circuit judges were elected
by the Legislature, collectively
serving in the capacity of Jus-
tices of the Supreme Court.
Pursuant to an 1848 constitu-
tional amendment, in 1851 the
first justices were named to the
Supreme Colurt. These justices
were elected -by the Legislature
for the term of their "good be-
havior." In 1853 an amendment
provided for popular election of
justices for six-year terms. The
1861 Constitution provided for
the appointment of the justices
by the Governor, with the advice
and consent of the Senate, to
serve for six-year terms. The
1868 Constitution changed the
terms of justices to "life or dur-
ing good behavior," and the
1885 Constitution returned to
popular election of justices.
In 1902, an amendment al-
lowed the Legislature to in-
crease the Supreme Court mem-
bership from three to as many
six justices. Initially there were
six, but the 1911 Legislature
reduced the number of justices
to five. In 1923 the number was
again raised to six and continued
to be six until a 1940 constitu-
tional amendment increased the
size of the court to seven jus-
tices.
In 1956, three intermediate
appellate courts (district courts.
of appeal) were created to ease
the workload of the Supreme
Court. A fourth district court of
appeal was added in 1965, and a
fifth was added in 1979.
In FY 1979-80, there were 39
judges for the district courts of
appeal, 302 circuit court judges
and 198 county court judges. In
FY 2010-2011, there were 61
judges for the district courts of
appeal, 599 circuit court judges

and 322 county court judges.
The size of the Supreme Court
has not changed in those 31
years, while the number of
judges creating possibly appeal-
able orders and judgments has
nearly doubled.
CS/HJR 7111 passed on a
vote of 79 to 38. If passed by the
Senate with a three-fifths vote,
this measure will appear on the
November 2012 ballot.
House Bill 13 dealing with
septic tank inspections was on
the special order calendar for
third reading. Under current law,
all onsite sewage systems must
undergo an inspection by the
Department of Health once
every five years, starting July 1,
2011. The evaluation must in-
clude a tank and drain field
evaluation, a written assessment
of the condition of the system,
and, if necessary, a disclosure
statement.
HB 13 amends the current law
to remove language that directs
the Department of Health to
create and administer the state-
wide septic tank evaluation pro-
gram and eliminates procedures
and criteria for the evaluation
program. The bill passed 110 to
3.
After four hours of debate, the
Florida House had completed its
work for the week and I began
my journey home.
It is an honor to serve you.

Clay Electric

does not solicit

its customers for

energy surveys
Residents of Northeast Florida
have been complaining to local
law enforcement agencies about
telephone solicitations that offer
free energy surveys.
The solicitations attempt to
set up an appointment for a
representative to visit the home
and complete a survey. They


.a ^

(4
(


claim the homeowner may .be
eligible for federal stimulus
money of more than $3,000.
Homeowners report that they've
received repeated calls from
companies offering the energy
surveys, and some say the calls
have become harassing in
nature.
Clay Electric Cooperative
wants its members to know that
it does not solicit energy surveys
over the phone. Clay Electric
offers free energy audits to help
members better understand how
they're using energy and how
they can lower their monthly
poAr consumption.
"In the past several months
some members of Clay Electric
have received calls from various
companies representing
themselves as an energy
consulting firm that's
conducting free energy analysis
for homes," said Sherman
Phillips, manager of the
cooperative's Energy Services
Division.
"The caller may claim they
can provide the homeowner with
energy savings as high as 30 to
50 percent if the homeowner
uses their products. They further
state the energy analysis is free
and the person needs to schedule


an appointment immediately,'"
Phillips said.
Phillips added that Clay
Electric doesn't endorse any;
company that offers energy
surveys.
"Clay Electric offers' free
energy analysis for
homeowners; however, we DO
NOT solicit appointments by
calling our members. We
publicize our programs via bill
inserts, articles in our Kilowatt.
newsletter, and on our website
(clayelectric.com)."
In a recent news release, the
Clay County Sheriffs Office
announced that it was receiving
calls from residents who were:
complaining about the energy
survey solicitations. The
sheriffs office encourages
residents to be vigilant when
dealing with any phone
solicitations and to avoid
releasing personal information.
The sheriffs office said the.
Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services' website is
the contact point for Do Not
Call List registration and for
consumer complaints in general.
The sheriffs office encourages
residents to visit
www.800helpfla.com/nosales.ht'
ml for details.

Tornadoes rally
late for 4-3 win
over Tigers
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Regional News/Sports Editor
Brandon Thomas drove in
the winning run in a two-run
sixth inning as the Bradford
baseball team defeated visiting
Union County 4-3 on April 15.
The Tornadoes (14-5) had
managed just two hits off of
Union pitcher Dustin Hersey
before Dylan Manning led off
th. bottom of the sixth with a
single into center field. Austin
Chipoletti bunted safely before
a balk moved the runners to
third and second. A passed ball
allowed a run to score, tying
the score at 3-all.
With two outs, Thomas hit a
bloop single just out of the
infield. The Tigers almost
recorded the out on a diving
play, but the ball was not held


long enough to record the out,
allowing what would prove to
be the winning run to score.
The Tigers (7-15) still had a
chance when their first two
batters of the seventh reached.
Colby Cothren drew a walk to
lead off the inning, while
Walter Bradley beat out the
throw on a bunt single. A pop-
up bunt attempt by Colby
Andrews that fell into play
allowed the Tornadoes to turn
a double play. (Bradley
couldn't commit to going to
second with Bradford having a
chance to catch the pop-up and
recording a force out at first.)
A ground ball accounted for
the final out of the inning.
Hersey gave up five hits,
with no Bradford player
having more than one hit. He
struck out seven.
Bradford winning pitcher
Tyler Yowell, like. Hersey,
pitched a complete game. He
gave up eight hits and two

What does Easter mean?

Holy Week There has never been a week in
the history of the world that changed the world r'7 '
forever.
A week of praise but a week of
accusation and finally the trial and the
sentence of death. Not anv ordinary death, 4 /
but a crucifiction.
The great song contemplates "The .
Wonderful Cross". What was wonderful
about this death, this crucifiction. It was
wonderful because sin was judged and my
and your sin was paid for. But if this week
ended at the cross it would be a sad and incomplete conclusion.

But Three Days Later
Yes three days later death couldn't keep it's hold on Jesus.
You see on Easter we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. This is
Easter and this week is God's greatest expression of His love for
you and me. Have you trusted Him? What love, and because of
this love, we can say "Because He lives I can face tomorrow"
We love because God first


loved us. This is Easter and why
we celebrate.

Happy Easter

in God's Amazing Love
