Charley E. Johns Conference Center in Starke on Sept. 10. Referring to the college’s top10 ranking by the Aspen Institute and a recent accreditation process in which Santa Fe received an “A” grade, Sasser said, “I didn’t give the state of the college because, quite honestly, it’s good.” Instead, the meeting was all about Envision Bradford 2023— a series of meetings the college has been hosting at which community members have been identifying the critical issues the county faces in the future and identifying 24 specific needs in eight topic areas that are vital to Bradford’s future. In response to any who have questioned why Santa Fe College has been involved in such a project, Sasser said he has replied that it is the college’s job. He summed up the college’s relationship with Bradford County with a statement President John F. Kennedy made to the Canadian parliament in 1961: “Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity makes us allies.” Sasser said the college’s role is not to make the decisions in regard to Bradford County’s future, but to help the county get the resources it needs in moving forward the way community members envision. It’s an exciting prospect for Sasser, who said, “We’re on the precipice of doing something Santa Fe College President Jackson Sasser talks about the future of Bradford County as part of the Envision Bradford 2023 series of meetings. really, really important.” During three meetings in June, July and August, community members looked at eight issues: technology and economic development; mobility and infrastructure; public safety; housing; health care; workforce development; public education; and higher education. Over the course of those meetings, recommendations were discussed and narrowed to a list of three in each of the eight issues: •Technology and economic development: hire dedicated economic development staff to promote Bradford County as a potential relocation site and to develop business retention and expansion programs to keep existing businesses in the county; address the lack of adequate water, wastewater and broadband infrastructure to eliminate hindrances to economic development; and city and county officials work together to develop a probusiness environment and take advantage of opportunities to work together to promote economic development. • Mobility and infrastructure: provide access to water/fire hydrants and sewer services to outlying parcels in the city of Starke; develop a plan for commercial businesses to be located along proposed bypass interchanges; and review availability and/or requirements for annexation into the city of Starke. • Public safety: provide utility infrastructure and authority; seek better communication capabilities; and build roads for emergency transportation. •Housing: perform a needs assessment for housing; pursue housing grants; and encourage city and county to work together to resolve zoning issues that would impeded businesses from locating to Bradford County. • Health care: increase development of health care expansion services; retention of staff; and recreation and entertainment to include fitness opportunities. •Workforce development: provide infrastructure for information technology to support education and business; provide tax relief, continue impact fees moratorium, etc.; and hire an economic development person dedicated to promoting the region and the current industrial parks. •Public education: improve Internet access and broadband connectivity for residents; discover, acquire and properly utilize the necessary resources, contacts and tools needed to look into the future and accurately identify forthcoming jobs and careers; and utilize a community wide, collaborative approach to problem solving issues and overcoming obstacles that might hinder the progress of the school system. •Higher education: make it clear to the business industry, including existing and potential new businesses, that Bradford County’s higher educational institutions have built foundations that allow new programs to be added quickly; make the same items clear to the families of business employees; and sell the product. Sasser, in providing an overview of the Envision Bradford 2023 results, expounded on a few of the recommendation in each issue area. For example, he stressed how important he thought it was to hire an economic development professional and to provide water and sewer services to the city of Starke’s outlying areas. “To be able to grow more business, you’ve got to extend the infrastructure out to more areas,” Sasser said. Improved Internet access and the availability of broadband service was the recommendation in a couple of issue areas. Sasser agreed with its importance, saying Starke must have broadband services, whether they come about as the result of local, state or federal resources. “That’s just got to be done,” he said, also noting the importance of Internet access in education for today’s children. If children have limited access to the Internet, Sasser said, “You’re taking away from your children rather than giving.” In regard to the issue of higher education and Santa Fe’s role in Bradford County’s future, Sasser said, “We are primed to provide what is needed. If we don’t have the skill set at the college, with the resources we have and the contacts we have right now, we can get it.” Sasser turned the floor over to a couple of community members, including Bradford County Telegraph owner/publisher John Miller, who talked of the importance of providing employment opportunities so that young people who grow up in Bradford County can remain in Bradford County. “The sad part is, after they graduate (from college), they can’t return to Bradford County,” Miller said. “What we’re talking about is jobs.” Miller mentioned the need of replacing the loss of such employers as CMI Joist and Riverside Uniform. “We’ve got to be able to create some of the 1,900 jobs that have gone away from this county since 2007,” Miller said, later adding, “We are very thankful we have prisons. They’re good jobs, but they can’t be the only jobs we have.” City of Starke and Bradford County officials are important in the process of defining the future of Bradford County, but they also need the support of the community around them, Miller said. “You have to give them some direction and guidance,” Miller said. “Now’s the time.” Jeff Oody, the president of Community State Bank and a Santa Fe College Board of Trustees member, echoed the importance of the community taking an active role in shaping the county’s future. Oody said such change goes beyond relying on city and county officials to change laws or pass new ones. “We need businesses, we need charities and we need individuals to work together with our government,” Oody said, later adding, “The heroes that can make this happen are in this room today—every one of us. If you look to your left or your right, we are the only ones who are going to do it. No one from the outside is going to come in and change it. If they do, it’s probably not going to be changed to the way we want it to be changed.” Chad Farnsworth, Bradford County’s superintendent of schools, has been an Envision Bradford 2023 participant. He said the process has been unique and admitted it was one he was See ENVISION, 10B Y M Y M C K C K 2B Telegraph, Times & Monitor B Section • Thursday, Sept. 19, 2013 Area prisons help Sesame Workshop support children of inmates Crime rates are decreasing, but the number of children who have an incarcerated parent has increased nearly 80 percent over the past 20 years. When a family member is incarcerated, it is a life-changing event that affects the entire family. Young children often do not understand what is happening and have a hard time dealing with it. They are not responsible for their parents’ transgressions, but they sometimes feel the situation is somehow their fault. A new program aimed at help- ing these children was presented to more than 140 child visitors Aug. 17 at Union Correctional Institution, Florida State Prison, Reception Medical Center and Lawtey Correctional Institution. Caregivers of these young children often do not know how to talk to them about the situation. Sesame Workshop—the nonprofit educational organization that produces Sesame Street—has devised a program to help these children, their caregivers and their incarcerated parents deal with this problem. Children in the RMC visiting park watched the DVD provided by Sesame Workshop. RIGHT: Inmate Julio Tapia works on a Cookie Monster scene that decorated one wall of the UCI visiting park on Aug. 17.

The program is designed to support and comfort children while reducing their anxiety, sadness and confusion. It also provides at-home caregivers with strategies and tips for talking to these children. The program gives the parents examples of age-appropriate language they can use when they talk to their children about incarceration. For example, if a child asks his parent where he is and when he on.

Money raised during the Bradford-Union Great Strides event has increased each year. Last year’s event raised approximately $23,000, which prompted Lawtey native Katelyn Sims, who helped start the event, to set a goal of $25,000-$30,000 this year. Sims, 22, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the age of 4. Funds raised through Great Strides events help provide funding for the development of medications, such as Kalydeco, the first drug to address the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis. Kalydeco, developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc., was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in January 2012 for use with people with one specific cystic fibrosis gene mutation. It has helped people such as Charlie Burnett, a Macclenny man who participated in last year’s Bradford-Union Great Strides event. Kalydeco helped Burnett’s lung function improve from 44 percent to 77 percent. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation provided $75 million for Vertex Pharmaceuticals’ cystic fibrosis program. Kalydeco is not available in a form that targets Sims’ genetic mutation, but Sims’ mother, Leisa, said the fact a drug like Kalydeco exists in any form provides hope that future fundraising efforts will eventually help more of the cystic fibrosis population. “I would like to say that’s part of why this walk this year is so important—because we’ve got to get the FDA to push Kalydeco on through,” Leisa Sims said during a cystic fibrosis presentation at the Sept. 3 Kiwanis Club of Starke meeting. Katelyn Sims told Kiwanis members the drug Cayston has helped her lung function improve by 3 to 4 percent, saying, “It wasn’t a drastic improvement, but 3 or 4 percent is awesome for me. I’m not going to complain about that.” Denied Social Security Disability? No Runaround – No Hassle GBIS Disability, Inc Free Consultation 20 years Social Security Disability Experience www.GBISOnline.com Leisa Sims said recent tests, however, have revealed that her daughter’s lung function is at the lowest level it has ever been. “It really would only take one good bout of pneumonia to put her at a very dangerous level,” Leisa Sims said. That’s why support of Great Strides means so much. Leisa Sims expressed her appreciation for the community’s support of past events. “We are very much grateful for everything you all do,” she said. “I know it’s a lot. There are so many other things out there you could be doing.” Claudia Werner Foxworth, senior development director of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s North Florida Chapter in Jacksonville, also spoke at the Sept. 3 Kiwanis meeting. She talked of the importance of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation making the move toward finding a cure—a goal not everyone shared. “Back in 1980, the CF Foundation had been existence about 25 years,” Foxworth said. “It was a time of really divisiveness at the CF Foundation. There was a group that wanted to go after the cure for this disease. There was another group that wanted to buy coffins and hospital beds for children who would never make it. “Thankfully, the more positive way won out at the CF Foundation.” The foundation made the See STRIDES, 4B Union Correctional Institution Officer Rachelle Parrish helps two diminutive visitors choose their favorite snow cone flavor.

The animal measured approximately 12 feet in length. Outdoors outlook and hunting in ‘gator country’ tags, and some are specific to a certain lakes. Carroll’s tag was for Crescent Lake—just a short distance southeast of Palatka— and fill the tag they did with the big, almost 12-foot specimen in the accompanying photo. Carroll follows a common hunting strategy of arriving to the hunt at predawn and locating the gators in open water, where they typically spend the night looking for food. Upon approach, the gators will submerge. The main task is to locate the direction in which they swim. Often, bubbles at the point where they submerged will give an indication, and sometimes, when they settle on the bottom, they will create a bubble release that will provide further location information. Secondly, the hunters try to hook the gator with large, weighted treble hooks attached to a rod and reel with heavy line. After the initial hookup, the hunters typically attempt to set another hook and eventually a harpoon for the ultimate control. Lastly, the kill is necessarily consummated in Florida with a bang stick. Brian Johns, who was featured in a previous gatorhunting article, subscribes to a similar strategy, as does Jeff Fitts, another local gator hunter. Speaking of Fitts, he, too, had recent success. Fitts’ gator tag was for Lochloosa Lake, and on Sept. 6, he, along with Clay Robinson, bagged the nice gator Football season is here, and so is fall. By the publication of this article, bow hunting will be underway, but the crappie bit has not kicked off yet. However, reports from slightly south of here indicate that specks are being caught on Lochloosa and Newnan’s lakes. The big three inshore saltwater fish (flounder, reds and trout) are available on both coasts. Nicesized croakers are being caught in the St. Johns, but the shrimp remain small this year. Mullet are being caught from the bridge bulkheads in the St. Johns, and bank fishermen are catching mullet and tilapia in those locations with snatch hooks. Gator country Orange and blue are sacred colors in this part of the country, but there are a lot more real swamps in this area besides Ben Hill Griffin Stadium; and those swamps have real alligators in them that people are legally hunting and catching. That was the case when Drew Carroll teamed up with Clint Jackson and Jason McClellan on Sept. 1 to fill a gator tag that he pulled. Some tags are county in the accompanying photo. As a matter of fact, Fitts has filled his quota of two gators for the year. All of these gator hunters are local to our three-county area. Fitts owns a weed management business and professionally fishes the FLW circuit. Carroll is a private contractor, and Johns is the director of emergency management for Bradford County.

A topic that is often batted around about gators is their size. By most standards, 12 feet long would usually be considered a large gator, and that does include the gator taken by Carroll and his crew. This past week, Ben Williams bagged one out of Lake George that totaled 13 feet, 7 inches. The largest gator taken in Florida in recent years was 14 feet and 3.5 inches. The largest gator on record was killed in Louisiana in 1890 and was 19 feet and 2 inches, weighing approximately 2,000 pounds.

Due to the increased population of gator farms, most people are aware that gators are often eaten, but most would be lost when it came to cleaning or cooking. Interestingly enough, Johns says that since he has seen what gators eat, he generally gives his away. Carroll uses the services of a processor that can be easily obtained from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission website (www. myfwc.org). Fitts cleans and processes his gators himself. When the question concerns cooking, the normal response involves lightly flouring and subsequently frying or cooking like steak.

Socials , editor@bctelegraph.com County officials need to act like Christians they proclaim to be Dear County Commissioners and Property Appraiser: Several of you proclaim to be Christians. Do you ever stop to think that when you make a decision on the budget, how your decision is going to affect the residents of Bradford County, or are your decisions based sorely on Bradford County and those to whom you want to please? The Bradford Telegraph published June 20, 2013, on page 2, the following: “Bradford County is financially strong with money to spend.” It stated how Bradford County’s assets exceed its liabilities by $67 million—up more than $1 million from 2011. I received my proposed property taxes for 2013, and needless to say, no matter which way you all go on the budget, my taxes will increase. The market value on my home went down by $945, and my assessed value went up by $856. There was only one piece of property out here that was sold this year—a mobile home with property. All the other homes up for sale still are. My question is, how can Ray Nor- SUPPORT Continued from 2B I’m not here because of anything you did. This is not your fault.” •“I won’t be home for a while. I’d rather be home with you, but always know that wherever I am, I’m thinking about you.” The program recommends talking honestly with the child while trying to maintain a home environment for him or her that is as stable as possible. The program materials state, “It’s important to tell your child the truth about his parent’s incarceration. It’s the best way to help him feel loved and cared for.” The materials also warn that if no information on the reason for the parent’s absence is provided, the child may imagine a reason of his own—and that imagined reason might be much more difficult for the child to cope with.

That, in turn, paved the way for efforts in finding the causes and cures for other diseases, Foxworth said. Foxworth said the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s farreaching impact has affected her personally. She got married this past February. In June, her husband was diagnosed with a large growth in his stomach. The growth was diagnosed as metastatic melanoma. Such a diagnosis would have once been a death sentence, Foxworth said. In her husband’s case, though, genetic testing man and Jimmy Alvarez up the value of my home when there are no sales out here? My home is in the area where only myself and two other property owners care about their property. To my knowledge, Mr. Alvarez never comes out here. He just goes by what the county manager and the commissioners want him to do for my statistics. Two years ago, there were two commissioners listed in the paper as not paying their property taxes. Last year, there was one who had several pieces of property. I know that you all think, well, if the property owners don’t pay the taxes, someone will buy a tax certificate so the county will get its money. But do you ever think of the property owners, how they feel not being able to pay their taxes on a home they have struggled for years to hold onto? To the two of you that were in the paper, now you know how other people feel when they can’t pay their taxes, but yet you agree on a budget that will increase property taxes again this year. How can you live with yourselves? When you proclaim to be a Christian, your daily actions in job or life should reflect it. But when you make decisions that will cost people money they don’t have just so the county can have more and, therefore, you commissioners can have more? That’s wrong. Some of you have admitted that you didn’t work on the budget; you just went over it with the county manager. You say that you hope that this money will be used to improve the roads, put more people on mowers to mow along the roads. I’ve lived in Bradford County (originally born here) for 20 years and things have stayed the same. Bradford County looks worse every year. The areas where the commissioners live look nice. When your time on this earth is up, you will have to face the Lord, and you will have to answer for your actions. Remember, He sees all and knows all. He knows whether your decisions were for the good of the people or otherwise. My Bible tells me that if you sow good seeds, you reap good deeds. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The residents of Bradford County vote for you to represent them. This means everyone, not just the ones who have money. Every year when tax time comes, I hope that more people will speak up about the budget. Maybe they do. I don’t go to the meetings. If they do, it doesn’t do any good because things never change. Maybe its time for the people of Bradford County to wake up and put new commissioners in office and, also, a new property appraiser. I pray that the Christians of Bradford County will start speaking up in defense of their God. He is always with us, and He expects us, as children of His, to spread His love and goodness. Sincerely, Norma Greene Reader asks letter writer to offer solution to abortion Dear Editor (in response to the Sept. 5 letter by Mr. Young): You bring a good many points against abortion, but avoid offering any solution to halt the slaughter of babies. Do you have any plan to offer Bradford County that would help to stop abortions? Have you personally done anything to help these women who feel trapped with no way out except to kill their own baby? It’s time to stop talking and take action. Can’t we start a fund to help these women? Is it possible to start a home. however small, to help some of them to not only deliver their babes, but to learn a trade? The people of Bradford County are not heartless. They would back such an effort as this. Mr. Young, I challenge you take action and lead the way to save babies. Mona M.

The Tigers’ first-half performance helped overcome a sloppy second half full of penalties—three of which occurred on the team’s first five plays in the second half. Keystone finally made it into the end zone two-thirds of the way into the fourth quarter, but by then it was too little too late. The Indians (1-1) made little ground to open the game, thanks to Union’s defense, including Austin Dukes and Alden McClellon, who stopped a quarterback keeper for 5 yards. That would be it for the Indians before they punted it away. The Tigers (3-0) did much better, scoring a touchdown on their first possession, but the Indians’ Sam Anderson would be a thorn in the Tigers’ side all night long. He tripped up Daquin Edwards on his second run. The Keystone defense was also helped by Josh Knight and Chase Musselman. Union’s first score came at the 5:18 mark in the first quarter after marching it down the field on its first possession, earning three first downs after receiving the ball. Edwards ran it in for a touchdown and a good extra Union County’s Darian Robinson makes a run for it as Treyce Hersey prepares to block in the Tigers’ 21-7 win over Keystone Heights. point put the Tigers up 7-0. Keystone again went threeand-out on its second possession, thanks to an incomplete pass intended for Brighton Gibbs, a loss on an Anton Noble run and a quarterback run that went nowhere. The Indians’ Nolan Lowery forced a loss on a run by the Tigers’ Isaiah Johnson, following a flag on Union’s first play. However, after an incomplete pass on the next play, Cox connected with Princeton Alexander, who took it from the Tigers’ 24-yard line all the way to the Indians’ 33 for a 59-yard completion. After the Tigers gained another first down, Keystone’s Johnnie Fitts tackled Geordyn FAY’S Aesthetics & Hair 904-964-7579 Hair Stylist Stop by and meet Pat and ask about our Super Summer Specials! 101-A Edwards Road ~ Starke Green for a loss, but two completions later would put the Tigers up 14-0 after the extra point. The score was a 33-yard pass to Cody Miller with 52 seconds left in the first quarter. Keystone’s offense, again, could not get a first down, this time thanks to the efforts of the Tigers’ Joshua Scott and Andrew Jones. This time around, Union’s offense would have trouble. Keystone’s Darien Gilio would stop Johnson in the backfield for a loss, but the Tigers also had false start and delay of game penalties, a bumbled handoff and a fumble. It was the kind of sloppiness they would show in the second half that kept them from scoring at all. Like a bad rerun, Keystone would again enjoy just one set of downs, plagued by a hit in the backfield, a chop block penalty that Union declined and an incomplete pass. Things then went from bad to worse as the Tigers’ McClellon blocked the punt attempted at the Indians’ 18-yard line to set up the Tigers just 6 yards from the goal line. Gilio again forced a loss, and the Tigers again fumbled, but they would take it into the end zone, thanks to an 11-yard pass from Cox to Parker Hodgson at the 3:35 mark of the second quarter. Another good extra point put the Tigers up 21-0 after just three plays. Before end of the half, Keystone finally got a first down and made it to midfield, but could not get the ball into their receivers’ hands to advance any farther. The Union offense took the field and got a first down on every play—four of them, in fact. Cox’s overthrown pass, though, was intercepted by the Indians’ Micah Brown. Like last week, the Tigers transformed into a different team in the second half. This week, though, they went in the wrong, with penalties like illegal substitution, false start and delay of game. Plus, the Tigers also had a fumbled quarterback-center exchange. All of this was just on the Tigers’ first possession of the half. Their defense continued to play well, though, keeping the Indians from doing much except getting a rare first down. Keystone came up with another interception, but the Tigers’ McClellon and Kel Galloway kept the Indians from capitalizing on the opportunity. On the next series, Union marched it down the field like it did during the first half, but through the end of the third quarter, the Indians’ Gilio and Anderson hindered the Tigers’ progress. Gilio sacked Cox, and Anderson got in some good tackles before being injured, perhaps with just a leg cramp because he was back in the game later to wreak havoc. The game became sloppy on both sides, with flags and an interception by the Tigers’ Green. The one bright spot came for Keystone came when Blake Valenzuela was able to connect with Noble for a 29-yard-pass for a touchdown at the 4:24 mark of the fourth quarter. A good extra point put the score at 21-7. After little progress on Union’s next possession, the Tigers’ Alexander would fall on an attempted punt after a low snap, which gave the Indians the ball on the Tigers’ 34. The Indians, though, failed to convert on that gift. A sack didn’t help, though Valenzuela got off a 9-yard-pass to Grant McGee. Both coaches talked about injuries on their respective teams after the game. Union head coach Ronny Pruitt attributed his team’s play to some injuries coming into the game, but praised his team for fighting back. “It feels good when you come out, and you fight,” Pruitt told his team after the game. “Hey, you young guys, you see the numbers, what one injury can do to us. We gotta stay healthy.” He admonished them to let the coaching staff know early if they are injured. “You get a good rest,” Pruitt said. “Let’s come back Monday. We’ve got to work. You all see that, right? We’ve got to work.” He reminded them, “We’re going to outwork everybody See TIGERS 10B Tornadoes can’t hang onto lead, lose 37-27 BY CLIFF SMELLEY Regional News/Sports Editor A 91-yard kickoff return by Kenny Dinkins pulled the Bradford High School varsity football team to within three with approximately seven minutes left in the game, but the Tornadoes simply couldn’t stop Fort White and running back Tavaris Williams in a 37-27 loss on Sept. 13 in Starke. The Tornadoes (0-2) held a 20-16 lead at the half, but were held to 85 yards in the second half, with Dinkins’ kickoff return providing their only points. Kenny Dinkins returns a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown to make it a three-point game in the fourth quarter. Bradford drove inside the Fort White 20-yard line twice in the fourth quarter. “We were in it until the very, very end,” Bradford head coach Steve Reynolds said. “We were down three in the fourth. That’s not bad, but we’ve just got to finish ball games. We’ve got to get them ready to finish ball games. That’s our fault as coaches. We’ve got to push them to get ready for the fourth quarter.” It was quite an effort, though, by Dinkins, who caught six passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns. Plus, he had an interception on defense as well as the kickoff return that made things interesting. “You can’t ask for more effort and for more heart,” Reynolds said of Dinkins. That performance couldn’t offset the one put forth by Fort White. The Indians (2-0) rolled up approximately 400 yards rushing for the game, with Williams gaining 269 yards and scoring four touchdowns on 27 carries. Williams, who had 119 yards and two touchdowns in the second half, provided the final score with a 20-yard touchdown run. “We’ve got some defensive guys banged up right now,” Reynolds said. Each team had approximately 200 yards in the first half, but the Tornadoes wasted a golden opportunity early in the first quarter after defensive lineman Todderick Reed recovered a fumble on the Fort White 5-yard line. Bradford had a fumble on the center-quarterback exchange on first down, while running back Jarvis DeSue was dropped for a 3-yard loss on second down. An incomplete pass on third down and a sack on fourth down ended the series. On its second possession, Fort White did drive the ball past midfield, but Bradford’s Clayton Woods sacked quarterback Andrew Baker on third-and-7, forcing the Indians to punt. Bradford’s offense took to the field at its own 20, but promptly gave two points to Fort White when an errant shotgun snap resulted in a safety with 27 seconds remaining in the first quarter. To make matters worse, Fort White’s Kellen Snider returned the ensuing free kick 56 yards to the Bradford 15. The Bradford defense made a couple of nice plays, with Shwan Aaron tackling Williams for a 2-yard loss and Woods pressuring Baker into an incompletion. However, on third-and-12, Williams broke several tackles and bounced outside for a 17-yard touchdown run 15 seconds into the second quarter. The PAT put the Indians up 9-0. The Tornadoes answered by showing that they, too, could score quickly. On the second play of their ensuing series, Dinkins hauled in a deep pass from quarterback Jacob Luke for a 54-yard touchdown. The PAT was no good, leaving Bradford trailing 9-6. Bradford’s defense forced Fort White to go three and out on its next series. The offense responded with a 75-yard touchdown drive that began with a 13-yard scramble by Luke and a key 29-yard reception by See BHS, 6B 5%-10% OFF FOR NEW PATIENTS!

He scored both both of the team’s touchdowns in a win over Keystone Heights as the Tigers improved to 3-0. BY CLIFF SMELLEY Regional News/Sports Editor Dairon Alexander scored two touchdowns—both of which followed Keystone Heights miscues—in the Union County High School junior varsity football team’s 14-6 win on Sept. 12 in Keystone. Alexander had touchdown runs of 3 and 17 yards as the Tigers improved to 3-0, following a season-opening 20-18 victory over Newberry and a 26-16 victory over Williston on Sept. 5. Coach Joe Lipsey said it may not be the most talented junior varsity team that has come through Union County, but it is a team full of kids who have good characters and are very coachable. “We’re excited for them and for the school,” Lipsey said. BHS Continued from 5B Chris Barron on a third-and-10 play. Dinkins capped the drive, catching a pass across the middle of the field and breaking tackles on his way to a 30-yard touchdown at the 7:09 mark of the second quarter. Barron’s PAT put the Tornadoes up 13-9. The lead lasted approximately two minutes as the Indians put together a 74-yard scoring drive. Williams had a 26-yard run to the Bradford 48. Then, on a third-and-17 play, he scampered downfield on a reverse for a 55yard touchdown for a 16-13 Fort White lead after the PAT. Bradford’s next series did not get off to a good start, thanks to a holding penalty, but on thirdand-15, Luke scrambled for a 16-yard gain and first down at his own 41. Two straight incompletions left the Tornadoes facing third-and-10, but Luke hooked up with Barron for a 22yard gain to the Fort White 37. Two plays later, Tra’Von Thomas made a remarkable catch off of a deflection along the sideline for a 20-yard gain to the 17. Indians improve to 3-0 in girls’ golf Keystone quarterback Dalen Brown passes the ball, while Union’s Kris Wimpey applies pressure. For the Indians (1-1), it was a bad start to the game as they failed to handle a sky kick, which Union recovered. Four plays later, Alexander scored on a 17-yard run. Tyler McDavid added the PAT to put the Tigers up 7-0. Keystone pulled to within one in the second quarter when quarterback Dalen Brown scored on a 35-yard option keeper. It was a good start to the second half for the Indians as Chris McLean recovered a fumble at the Union 45-yard line. Runs by Terry Giles and Austin Hogg netted a first down, but Union’s Jerimiah Foster had a big hit to force a fumble, which was recovered by the Tigers’ Craig Slocum. With a first-and-goal at the 10, the Tigers needed three plays to find the end zone on a 3-yard run by Alexander at the 5:52 mark of the third quarter. McDavid’s Luke, who finished the half 8-of-14 for 184 yards, completed a 7-yard pass to Dinkins before tossing a 10-yard touchdown pass to Barron in the corner of the end zone with 41 seconds left in the half. Barron, who caught four passes for 72 yards, added the PAT to put the Tornadoes up 20-16. The Indians made a big play defensively early in the third quarter when Snider intercepted a pass, giving his team the ball at its own 43. Snider later ripped off a 43-yard run on a fourthdown play to give Fort White a first down at the Bradford 6. Two plays after that, Snider scored from 5 yards out. The PAT put the Indians up 23-20 with 2:43 remaining in the third quarter. Bradford went three and out on the ensuing series, but Dinkins got the ball back for the Tornadoes when he intercepted a Baker pass. Runs by DeSue—who finished the game with 64 yards on 14 carries—and receptions by Dinkins and Barron helped the Tornadoes move to the Fort White 20. Bradford, though, was eventually forced into a fourth-and-10 play, with Sanders intercepting Luke at the 12-yard line. Luke completed only 4-of14 passes in the second half, finishing the game 12-of-28 for 249 yards. Sanders’ 20-yard return on the interception had the Indians starting out on their own 32. Three plays later, Williams was running in his third touchdown of the game, covering a distance of 60 yards. With the PAT, Fort White was up 30-20 with 7:14 to play. That’s when Dinkins made things interesting, returning the ensuing kick 90 yards for a score. Barron’s PAT pulled Bradford to Class 1A.

Hollingsworth 5-21-01 to 9-23-2003 Borrowed Angels Borrowed Angels only stay for a while. They touch our hearts with a simple smile. Teaching us things we would have never known. Then kiss us tenderly as they fly home. Sometimes not understanding the reasons God has within. You have to start over and that’s where the heartache begins. Now in Gods arms, it’s a small comfort to those left here. As we are knelt beside her, wondering if her presence is near. Remembering the way she would run and dance. Wanting to hold her little brother when given the chance. Always wanting her “mm, mm” fuzzy side down. When company would come she’d run around like a clown. The eagerness of following everything you’ve done. From helping feed “Big Boy” to wanting some gum. There are so many things you see yourself closing your eyes to find. Trying to keep up with her memory and feeling like you fall behind. When you see the sun out or a gust of wind blows through. Just know that’s our Borrowed Angel saying, ”I’m here and I love you.” We love you and miss you more everyday!
