According to an arrest report, just after 7:30 p.m., two deputies and the state officer approached a black" Ford Mustang convert- ible stationed on the north side bf the park. Deputy John Henry White- head wrote in a report that he detected a strong odor of mari- juana coming from the car as he walked up to the vehicle. How- ever, when he asked the driver if anyone had the illegal drug on them, the driver replied no. While searching the vehicle, officers found marijuana, in the passenger side seat, the center console, on the back floorboard and throughout the back passen- ger seat. They also discovered a pack- age of blunt wrappers in one of the suspects' pants pock- et. Whitehead wrote that the wrappers are commonly used to consume cannabis. The deputy added that he asked all five suspects who the cannabis belong to and told them that if no one identified the own- er he would arrest all five. No one spoke up. Whitehead wrote that when attempting to place handcuffs on ..the suspects, one of them, Chad Ali, 15, of Lake Butler snatched his hand away from the wildlife officer,, hurled an expletive at him and ran away.- Whitehead wrote that he caught Ali approximately 50 yards from the car and while he was cuffing the juvenile, Ali con- tinued to struggle, trying to break free. . SThe 15-year-old was booked into the Union County Jail for resisting officer with violence, possession of cannabis less than S20 grams and possession of drug paraphernalia.

In 1 Corinthians 15:33 we are warned, "Do not be deceived: 'Evil company corrupts good habits.'" If we associate with evil people too long and too often, we will eventually adopt their ways even if we try not to. Since evil company corrupts good' morals, what kind of companions do we need? In Proverbs 13:20 we are told, "He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed." Good companions can have a positive impact on our lives, just as evil company has a negative impact. Instead of seeking worldly friends we need to seek friendships with people who will be a good influence upon our lives, impart wisdom to us, and help us make it to heaven.

" Union deputies: 16-year- old struck man with fire poker BY DAN HILDEBRAN Monitor Editor Union' deputies arrested a 16-year-old after a family mem- ber accused the boy of hitting him in the head with a fire poker. Brandon Lee Peacock was. charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, Nov. 28." According to a sheriff's office report, the victim told the depu- ty the assault followed an'argu- ment between the two. However a witness said the victim choked the 16-year-old before Peacock grabbed the pok- er. The witness added that the victim has a history of picking on the boy. When Deputy James B. Good- win interviewed Peacock, the accused told him the confrbonta- tion arose because someone had left an empty box on the kitchen counter. He told the lawman that he ran to the area of the fireplace after the victim lunged at him in the kitchen. He added that the victim attempted to strike him'around the fireplace and he picked up the fire poker in re- sponse. The deputy wrote in a report that the, witness corroborated tnuch of the boy's story and add- ed that the victim struck Peacock in the eye and threatened to kill him while he was choking him. The victim denied choking or striking Peacock. The deputy wrote that this type of incident has been occur- ring for years inside the house; several times in his presence. According to Lt. Lyn Wil- liams of _the'sheriff's office, the victim, John Johnson, was also arrested. "Both parties were at fault," he wrote in an email, "and both .-parties committed a criie."

"For 24 hours around the world, a candle is being lit for a child who died way too soon from any cause at any age," Mary Kramer said during the Lake Area-Keystone Heights Chapter ceremony, which was held ,Dec. 9 at the Champion's Heart Life Center in Keystone. "Tonight, we remember our loved children." Kramer and her ,husband, Chuck, who lost their daughter Danielle, are currently the lead- ers of the Lake Area-Keystone Heights Chapter, but Mary Kramer said the chapter owes its existence to former leaders Alice and Jay Watts, who estab- lished it. "None of us would be here now if it wasn't for them," Kramer said as she presented the couple with a plaque of appre- ciation. "They're a wonderful couple." Alice Watts said her and her husband's! daughter Debbie had been deceased for 20 years when the couple decided to take on the task of creating a local chapter of The Compassionate Friends-a nonprofit organiza- tion that exists to offer support, friendship and understanding to families who have experienced the loss of a child or sibling of any age from"any cause. Family members asked Alice and Jay Watts why they would want to do such a thing when they had those 20 years to move on from their daughter's death. "I said, 'If we can help one person through this terrible time in their life, it'll be worth,it," Al- ice Watts said.,"I'm so glad we started it." The Dec. 9 ceremony featured the lighting of five candles, Mary and Chuck Kramer light a candle in honor of their deceased daughter, Danielle, as daughter Lyn looks on. which represented grief, cour- age, memories, love and hope. Alice and Jay Watts each lit a candle, while the others were lit by Larry Fosser, Gloria Moran and Bernie Wetherington. Foss- er lost a son named Allen, while Moran lost a daughter named Brianna. Wetherington lost a daughter named Amanda. ' Chuck Kramer presented the "Our Children Loved and Re- membered" roll call, in which he read aloud the names of the deceased children of members of the Lake Area-Keystone Heights chapter.

Also lighting candles were Alice Watts, Jay Watts, Gloria Moran and Bernie Wetherington. q. ,. ., J . '*. . " j I., I ~. ~ 52E1U1 I' '3 Mary Kramer presents a plaque of ap- preciation to Alice and Jay Watts, former " chapter lead- ers. Alice and Jay Watts start- ed the local chapter of The Compassionate Friends. FRIENDS Continued from 1B ings prior to the lighting of can- dies. Mark Bickford, who lost a son in Mark Jr., read about the joy of watching a little boy's in- teraction with his father and the "rare" affection a father and son share. "Fond memories are made this way with blessings from above, so treasure every moment; be generous with your love," Bick- ford said. Wayne Wetherington, the husband of Bemrnie' Wether- ington, shared a reading about life's plans with a loved one, how those plans can change, the struggles to adapt to that change and the new purpose brought about because of that change. Wetherington also read the Rudyard Kipling poem "If," sharing the story of Kipling's son afterward. Kipling's only son, Jack, wanted to serve in the military during World War I, but he had poor eyesight. Weth- erington said Kipling "pulled a few strings and got (his son) into the military. A short time later, after (his son) had become an of- ficer, (Kipling) found out he had died on the fields of France in World War I." Dianne Gill, who lost a son named Joey, read "The Next Place," which was written by Warren Hanson. Hanson writes about -how the next place he goes will be without darkness, and how he won't be tall or fat, ahnd his skin won't be light or dark. He.won't be a boy or a girl, or a man or a woman. He will be without flaw and will simply be "me." !The latter part of Hanson's work describes how there is noth- ing he collected in life he would want to take with him to the next place-nothing but "the love of, those who loved me and the warmth of those who cared... I'll never be alone. I'll be embraced by all the family and friends I've eyer known. Although I might' .not see their faces, all our hearts will beat as one, and the circle o4our spirits will sine brighter than the sun. -"' I will cherish all the friend- ship I was fortunate to find, all love and all the laughter in the place I leave behind. All these good things will go with me. They will make my spirit glow, and that light will shine forever In the next place that I go." Gill said she read "The Next Place" because it seemed appro- -)riate. :"I can't help but think (Han- sbn) must have lost somebody that he really loved, too, because he pegged it on how they must be living now," Gill said. "It gave me great comfort and sol- ace to think this way." -,The evening was emotional, of course, but Mary Kramer expressed her hope at the be- ginning of the ceremony that it would be more than a somber af- fair. In fact, she nixed her origi- nal intention of wearing black - for just that reason. :"I went out special and got this red, festive shirt so we could celebrate and remember our children," she said. "I'm sure there will be some tears, but I hope there will, be more smiles than tears." Members of The Compassion- ate Friends do have fun togeth- er,.Kramer said later during the ceremony. She said if strangers walked into one of the group's monthly meetings, they might think they were in the wrong place because of the "laughing andjoking" among members. The Lake Area-Keystone Heights Chapter of The Com- passionate Friends meets the second Monday of each month (except December) at 7 p.m. in the Potter House behind Trinity Baptist Church in Keystone. The Compassionate Friends' credo is: "We need not walk alone. We are The Compassion- ate Friends. We reach out to each other with love, with un- derstanding and with hope. "Our children have died at all ages and from many differ- ent causes, buit bur love fdr bur children unites"us.'Your pain be- comes my pain just as your'hope becomes my hope. We come together from all walks of life, from many different circum- stances. "We are a unique family be- cause we represent many races and creeds. We are young, and we are old. Some of us are far along in our grief, but others still feel a grief so fresh and so intensely painful that we feel * helpless and see no hope. Some of us have found our faith, to be a source of strength; some of us are struggling to find answers. Some of us are angry, filled with guilt or in deep depression; oth- ers radiate an inner peace. But whatever pain we bring to this gathering of The Compassionate Friends, it is pain we will share just as we share with each other our love'for bur children.

Gaskins, a senior, could be dealing with excruciating pain at any moment due to a condition in which her kidneys produce too much calcium and form stones. Kaser, a junior, has a history of seizures. Yet by looking at them, one would not suspect they're lifting the heavy burden of dealing with health issues and hospital visits and stays. The only lifting they do is with the school's weightlifting team. "No matter what, we always carry a smile on our faces, and we bring smiles to other people," Kaser said. - In fact, the most likely place to see any visible signs of frustration from either student is the weight room. They do not like .being limited by what they can do because of their health. "Last year, I cleaned and jerked 115 (pounds)," said Gaskins, who is in her second year on the weightlifting team. "(This past Nov. 27), I wasn't really have that great of a day. I tried to clean 95, and I could not. get it at all." Kaser, who is in her first on the weightlifting team, said, "It gets so frustrating. I'm a girl, so I'm really emotional. It'll get so frustrating I'll start crying. I know I can (lift) more. I just physically can't." Giving up, though, is not an option for a couple of students who want nothing more than to do what they want to do and enjoy being teenagers. That's why Kaser went from not really wanting to subject other people to her seizures to embracing the chances she has to hang out with. friends. "I don't want to put my friends through this," she said, "but I don't want to go a lifetime without friends. I want to be able to have fun and live the teenage life." For Kaser, it all began when she was in seventh grade when she had a seizure,though doctors did not believe that she had hadl a seizure. Rather, they described it as a panic attack. In fact, any seizure up until her ninth-grade year was referred to as such, which had Kaser convinced that doctors weren't really listening to her, She knew her body well enough to know she wasn't having: panic attacks. "I wanted help," she said. "I wanted to be back to my normal self again, but nobody was there See LIFE, 2C McDonald's- Kiwanis tournament returns to BHS Dec. 20-22 BY CLIFF SMELLEY Regional News/Sports Editor Seven teams will join the Bradford boys' basketball team on its home court Thursday through Saturday, Dec. 20-22, for the fourth annual Lake Area McDonald's Christmas Tour- Snament, hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Starke. Bradford head coach Traavis Chandler had a desire to see the boice-annual Kiwanis tournament return. He played in the tourna- ment as a player for Bradford and worked with the Kiwanis Club in his first year as head coach in 2009 in brining the tournament back after a six-year absence. "Each year, we receive more and more requests and comply, ments on how well organized our tournament is," Chandler said. "That's a testament to the hard work tiiat our Kiwanis Club of Starke puts into this annual event. We can't say enough*about how much they do for not only-us, but the entire community." Joining Bradford in this year's tournament, which has a daily .admission of $5, are Matanzas, Mount Dora, P,.K. Yonge, Pot- ter's House Christian, Union County and two out-of-state teams: Landmark Christian from fairburn, Ga., and Holy Cross from New Orleans. "We have a.competitive field of teams, and we look 'forward ,to the challenge of competing 'for the 2012 Kiwanis champion- ship trophy," Chandler said. "We look forward to seeing the com- munity out to support us." Play begins on Thursday,.Dec. 20, with Landmark Christian and Mount Dora playing at 4 p.m. Holy Cross and Potter's House Christian will play at 5:30 p.m., followed by P.K.

Approximately a year and a :half ago, the seizures became -'more frequent, occurring four to : five times a week, Kaser said. -: Eventually, doctors admitted -Kaser was having seizures, 'though the reason why is -unknown. Some think there's "a. problem with her brain-an ;MRI showed a line on herbraiA,. ;,though a neurologist said that :.was nothing to worry about- .while others think the seizures "are caused from factors such as stress.- SKaser said a seizure normally lasts 20 to 25 minutes, though she has had a five-minute seizure ;as well as one that lasted an hour and a half. "Usually, when I come back 4to and realize what's going on, I'm either on the floor or on my j-bed," Kaser said. "Obviously, looking around I'll know, 'Hey, I just had a seizure,' but I can't "speak. I can't move my hands. 'It gets to me because it's like .if I want something, I have to ' motion to it with my eyes for the first 30 minutes." / SKaser is also living with a heart -;murmur, which was discovered 'shortly after her first seizure. 'They told me it really wasn't 'going to bother me too much," Kaser said of the heart murmur. "My heart was either going to be- a little too fast or a little too slow, "but I would have to learn how to regulate my own breathing." Gaskins has had heart issues as well, which have apparently Chelsea Kaser (left) and Tiffany Gaskins don't let health problems stand in the way of their activity of choice-weightlifting. been causing her to pass out. Faintipg episodes began a couple of months ago, Gaskins said, which eventually led to having an EKG done and visiting a cardiologist after that. Going back even further, Gaskins had her own issues with seizures-something her mother and her grandmother have both experienced as well. However, it has been a while since Gaskins has had one. What is bothering Gaskins the most right now is the problem with her kidneys producing too much calcium. "That's been going on for like two or three years," she said. "When it started, they didn't think it was my kidneys. At first, they thought it was my ovaries, that lhad cysts on my ovaries." However, testing for ovarian cysts, proved to be negative, as did colonoscopy tests to determine if anything was wrong with Gaskins' bowels. Gaskins developed a bad case of pyelonephritis, which is an infection of the kidneys. She experienced flank pain and had a fever of 104.9. The episode left her with scarring on her kidneys. "After that, I started having kidney stones," Gaskins said. The pain Gaskins experiences is sometimes so bad she has tQ go to the hospital. Recently, she spent a week in the hospital, ahd has spent as much as five weeks there. "Usually, when I go, all they can do is give me fluids and stuff, and send. me back home," she said. Gaskins said she cannot handle strong pain medication, having to rely only on ibuprofen or Tylenol. Pain is just a part of her life. "It's likean everyday thing now," Gaskips siid.'l "I cannot go a day without my back hurting:; It's gotten to where it's normal. I do not know what it's like to not have flank pain at all." Kaser, like Gaskins, has just come to accept the fact that having seizures is a part of everyday life. ' "That's something I've got to live with, so it's normal to me," Kaser said. "Having seizures is part of me." What Kaser -and Gaskins don't, accept is that they have to refrain from lives filled with activity, Doctors have- advised the two against taking part in certain activities, but they want -to do the things they enjoy, such as participating on the UCHS weightlifting team. "I really wasn't supposed to Sbe doing weightlifting," Gaskins said. '"They can tell me that all they want. I'm still going to do it." Kaser said, "I sat and thought about what the worst outcome could be, but if I'm going to get hurt, I'm going to get hurt doing something I love to do." Bryan Griffis, who is the UCHS girls' weightlifting coach, said he was concerned last year when Gaskins wanted to be a part of the team'. He talked to Gaskins' mother, Salina Gaskins, and asked her, "Are you sure you want her to lift?" The response was, "Yes. She wants to lift. I'm not going to hold her back front anything she wants todo." Gaskins and Kaser have both impressed Griffis with their work ethics, Whereas some girls would neverconsider weightlifting as an extracurricular activity, Gaskins and Kaser have. embraced Oit despite their health issues. "If you could get every girl in there to have that kind of desire and to want .to succeed and win, like they do, you'd have a champion weightlifting team every year," Griffis said. Along with desire, there's also faith. Both students admitted the future scares them, because they don't know what's in store for them, yet they both convey a confidence that things will work out. "Right before I started practicing weightlifting, I started going to church,"' Kaser said. "I feel like God, put me here fora reason, and He's pushing me to do weightlifting for a reason."' SKaser and Gaskins both said their mothers-Maliha Nemesh and Salina Gaskins, respectively- have helped them through the ups and downs 's well, bu upt, aft extends from beyond the. walls of their homes. Gaskins said Griffis jis like a father who takes all of the weightlifters under his wing. In fact, the weightlifting team is a big family, Gaskins.said, and Kaser agreed. "We love to see everybody in (the weight room)," Kaser said. "When someone's not there, it's kind of like an awful day for ev- erybody."

Ca$h to you in 60 days I I bC TELEGRAPH, TIMES & MONITOR C Sik tKI :. ', D.. 13, 2012 f jBy Mickey Agner , Crappie fishing~ After Ilanksgiving and approaching the Christmas Holidays, the local crappie bite :continues to be the main target for local fishermen. Joey) Tyson ''of Keystone Heights' Bald Eagle :Bait and Tackle tells us that good catches are coming out of Santa Fe, Magnolia, Lowery and ;Hampton lakes. Cody Douglas is, aware of at least two good catches of specks from Palestine in Union County, * The crappie bite in Kingsley continues to lag the other lakes :due to the lake depth and water Pcrarity, but it is on record. J.T. SPrevatt aridTownsend Strickland :have been able to land a few, but both describe the bite as weak and the size 4s mixed. Likewise, the crappie bite in that lake will probably % outlast the lakes that opened earlier. For those %ho enjoy nature correlations, it has been noted that the speck bite started this :year right about the same time that robins arrived 'from their" summer homes in the north. Local fishermen use a variety of techniques in fishing for the ,i-, 1, They will readily take them on a variety of artificial baits that are presented by trolling, casting or drifting. Tyson indicates the three most popular artificial seem to be Hal Flies, R6n's Zip'Jigs and Road Runners. Additionally, 'some people find small,I hard baits effective as well. Just as popular and effective, if not more so, is the' use of live bait, which most often is commercially purchased Missouri' minnows. The minnows are most often used on bare hooks, although they can be supplemental to jigs. Unlike the presentation methods of the artificial baits noted above, the minnows are most often still fished over structure or drifted over a wider area. When drifting, they can be free lined or fished under bobbers, which are frequently rigged in a slip fashion. For those who will be crappie fishing with live bait,. the following tips were' collected from a variety of sources regarding bait maintenance:, 1. Use a holding tank (live well) with insulation to prevent wide swings in the temperature. 2. Round tanks prevent the minnows from huddling i'n corners and elevating stress. S3. Minnows will generally come in plastic bags with water. Place the bag in your holding tank water until the temperatures of both have equalized. 4. Do not use water with chlorine such as city water. 5. .Cool water holds more' oxygen. Add ice in moderation but place it in a bottle to prevent contamination from melted city water or create dramatic swings in temperature. 6. Use an aerator to add oxygen to the water. Do. not use one with a submersible motor because it will heat the tank water. 7. Use a dip net. Your hands will contaminate the water ,and remove the minnow's protective slime.. 8.

Surface' foam is an indication that the water is in bad shape. Foam is most often caused by excess ammonia, caused,by fish waste. The foam prevents oxygen 'from mixing with the water. Some commercial chemicals will remove the foam, but the best solution is to change at least one h.,il' ,F the water. S10.Commercial chemicals are readily 'available that will neutralize chlorine from city water or ammonia from urine: Additionally, they will stimulate natural slime and harden the minnow's scales and eliminate foam as noted above. When leftover minnows are held in a holding tank at your home, water quality becomes more important. Remember that foam is' an indication that the water quality is not in good shape. If a change in water is not accommodating, you might consider putting a filter on your tank. They are available at most. pet stores.
