Bill Nelson. Bradford Supervisor of Elections Terry Vaughan looks on. Milner honored at reception BY CLIFF SMELLEY Regional News/Sports Editor Bradford County Assistant Supervisor of Elections Carol Milner was greeted by friends and family during a reception in her honor at the elections office on Jan. 25. Milner is retiring after 37 years. “It’s been the best job anybody Steve Futch presents Carol Milner with a card. Milner worked her last day in the Bradford County Supervisor of Elections Office on Jan. 25. could ever have,” Milner said. Supervisor of Elections Terry Vaughan said it was a “bittersweet” day—he wished the best for Milner for her future, but admitted she’ll be greatly missed at the office. As part of a presentation Vaughan made to the Bradford County Commission that resulted in the commission adopting a proclamation in which Jan. 25 was “Carol Milner Appreciation Day,” Vaughan said, “She’s performed her duties in a way that makes us all so proud. She’s been most dependable, professional and ethical. She’s also earned the See HONOR, 6B BY CLIFF SMELLEY Regional News/Sports Editor They will tell you they are nothing alike, but Drew and Ada Reddish of Starke will also tell you that in the early stages of their relationship, they knew they were meant for each other. “I wouldn’t trade her for anything,” Drew said. “She was always the one, no question about it.” Drew’s first sighting of Ada in the halls of Bradford High School had quite the effect on him. As it turned out, Drew had quite the effect on Ada, too. “I had heard of him from my cousins. One of them went to school with him,” Ada explained, referring to the time when she was still a student at the school in Lawtey before transferring to BHS. “I had heard about Drew Reddish. There was just something about that name. I just felt like we were destined.” It’s hard to argue with that logic as Ada and Drew are set to celebrate their 60th anniversary. The date is Friday, Feb. 1, but a party is planned for Saturday, Feb. 2, from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. at the Starke Golf and Country Club. It all began at Bradford High School, where Drew was a senior and Ada a sophomore. Ada lived in Lawtey, and in those days, Lawtey students did not start attending BHS until their sophomore years. “I saw her walking down the hall,” Drew said. “I was in class. I said, ‘Who in the heck is that? I haven’t seen her before.’ From that time on, I started chasing her from time to time.” So, what was the attraction? Drew said, “She looked so innocent. It was like she was slipping down the hall so pure.” “He felt sorry for me, I think,” Ada said with a laugh. The two dated off and on that one year together in high school and while Drew attended the University of Florida. Drew said it seemed like the relationship was about to enter an off period as he was taking a trip with a fraternity brother to Colorado the summer between his sophomore and junior years at UF. “I said, ‘Well, I’ll fix that.’ I borrowed some money from my uncle, and I bought her a ring,” Drew said. “I said, ‘Hey, we’re engaged. That means we’re steady now, for sure.’” As Ada remembered the incident, it was hardly the way such matters unfolded in the movies. “We were in a car coming to Starke from Lawtey, going to the movies, I guess,” Ada said. “My sister and her boyfriend were with us. All of a sudden, he threw something in my lap. He said, ‘I guess you might like this.’ That was my ring, and that was my proposal, I guess.” Drew said, “I don’t remember that,” to which Ada replied, “Well, I do.” When asked if there was any hesitation on her part to say “yes,” Ada laughed and said, “He didn’t ask me (anything). I just put the ring on.” At that time, Ada was living and working in Jacksonville. Neither Ada nor Drew owned See REDDISH, 4B 2B Telegraph, Times & Monitor B Section • Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013 Outdoor sports, fun and food Orange Heights Baptist Church hosted its third annual Family Sportsmen Fest on Jan. 26 at the Triest family farm in Hampton, offering a variety of activities and food—all free of charge.

Therefore, when Christmas approached after she received her ring, Ada was looking forward to spending more time with Drew. However, Drew had the opportunity, as an ROTC cadet, to go on a trip to Cuba during the Christmas break, courtesy of the Transportation Corps. “Well, I’d never been out of Florida, much less the country,” Drew said. “I signed up to go for free.” Ada did not like hearing that. She told Drew if that’s what he was going to do, he could take his ring back and leave. “I did,” Drew said. “I thought she wanted to get rid of me anyway, so I said, ‘To heck with her. I’m gone.’” Looking back on the incident, Drew said what was funny was when he told his parents about what had happened. “My mother didn’t have an engagement ring,” Drew said. “I said, ‘Now, you’ve got one.’ I gave it to her. Her reaction was, ‘What am I going to tell the ladies at the hairdresser’s?’ They had been talking about the wedding. “I said, ‘Tell them we’re not together anymore.’” Ada said she honestly didn’t know if she would see Drew again after that. Approximately nine months later, though, a cousin of Drew’s who roomed with him at UF suggested they invited their old girlfriends to the homecoming dance. Drew said he “fell” for that and wrote a letter to Ada doing just that. Later, Drew called Ada and asked if she would accept the invitation. She said she wasn’t sure, to which Drew quickly responded, “That’s OK.” Ada said she thought to herself, “Oh, my gosh. He’s going to hang up.” Ada quickly told Drew she thought she could go ahead and make her mind up and responded that she would go with him. “I did get that ring back,” Ada said. Drew said he told Ada the “long engagement” was over. They were getting married, and Golf tournament to benefit woman battling cancer A golf tournament to benefit Brenda Collins, who is battling breast cancer for the third time, is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 16, at 8 a.m. at the Starke Golf and Country Club. The cost for the tournament, which is four-person, best-ball, is $50 per player. You can register at the Starke Golf and Country Club or by calling Roy Hart at 904-3647469. Hole sponsorships are available for $50. Telegraph, Times & Monitor B Section • Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013 they did on Feb. 1, 1953. “We got married between semesters,” Drew said. “That was a pure idiotic thing to do. We didn’t have any money.” Drew found a little apartment they could rent for $50 a month. Ada went to look for a job to help support them, but she would tell people she could only work until June because that was when Drew would graduate. “He got so mad at me for saying that,” Ada said. “Nobody wanted to hire her,” Drew said. Ada eventually got a parttime job in the office of the UF president, which lasted a month. She went back to Jacksonville and where she worked before. “I lived with mother up there, and he moved to Starke and lived with his parents,” Ada said. When Drew graduated from UF, the couple lived in Virginia while Drew was at Fort Eustis— the home of the Transportation Corps. Drew said he had the opportunity to move from the Army Reserve into the regular Army, which was his plan. He said he told Ada of that, but she insisted he didn’t tell her until his time with the Army Reserve was almost up. Ada was expecting the couple’s first child, and she told Drew she was moving back to Lawtey if he planned to stay in the Army. She had no intention of traveling. The couple moved to Starke, where Drew worked at DuPont while also serving in the Florida National Guard. “That was one of the first times she told me what I had to do,” Drew said. Ada, by nature, is quiet. In fact, Drew said his six brothers asked him, “Gosh, where did you find her? That’s the most quiet woman I’ve ever seen.” Drew said he is the exact opposite, something Ada can attest to. She discovered Drew likes to have company. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, he likes to be around people. “He can’t just invite a couple or two,” Ada said. “We’ve got to have a houseful.” Drew said it has been the biggest bone of contention between him and Ada. “I guess our biggest thing is she loves to be by herself,” Drew said. “I love to have people around. We’ve had a heck of a time about that, really.” New Bradford group now signing players up for spring ball The Bradford Parents Athletic Association is now registering children for spring T-ball, baseball and softball through Feb. 16. Registration periods are set for Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the Edwards Road complex and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. at both the Edwards Road complex and Winn-Dixie. All registrants must have but get in a good-natured dig. “She won’t even stretch the truth enough to get a job,” he said, referring to that time immediately after their marriage. Friends and family are invited to help Drew and Ada celebrate their anninversary at the Feb. 2 party at the Starke Golf and Country Club. Byron Ada and Drew Reddish on their wedding day of Feb. 1, 1953. Ada remembered an incident where Drew told her he had invited a couple to dinner one night. The invitation came in the midst of a multiple-week period when Ada was helping the Junior Woman’s Club prepare for a show. She insisted they were not going to have anybody over for dinner before the show, but in the end, they wound up having the couple for dinner. “He says I win every argument,” Ada said. “I don’t think so.” Drew, however, said, “She got her way a lot more than she realizes, I think.” Still, despite their conflicting personalities, Drew and Ada said there really haven’t been that many disagreements between them. However, it’s probably best they don’t play bridge as partners, Ada said, reflecting on the time they were members of a bridge club. “I might would win a hand,” Ada said, “and he would say, ‘Well, you shouldn’t have the way you played it.’” In life, though, Ada and Drew have played their cards just right. Drew put in a 40-plusyear career at DuPont, which included having the family live in Wilmington, Del., and Geraldton, Australia, and he and Ada raised three sons: Stan, Tommy and Doug. Drew said Ada deserved a lot of credit for raising the boys while he was busy with work. “They were three little bulls, copies of their birth certificates. Registration fees are $75 (T-ball), $75 (softball), $85 (rookie), $90 (minor) and $95 (major/Dixie Boys). For more information, please call 904-796-8905, or send email to bradfordparents@gmail.com. Board meeting set for BC Pop Warner The Bradford County Pop Warner Association will be having its annual board meeting to select officers for the 2013 year on Monday, Feb. 4, at 7pm at the Bradford County Fairgrounds. I tell you,” Drew said. “They were healthy and robust, and here was Ada, weighing 105 pounds trying to deal with that.” Drew may give Ada the lion’s share of the credit for taking care of the boys, but Ada said he has taken care of her. “I always knew he would take care of me,” Ada said. “There was never a doubt in my mind. There has never been a time where I was not taken care of.” Sure, “hard-nosed” Drew is hard to be “mushy” with—the so-called proposal is proof of that—but he does care, Ada said. For their 50th anniversary, Ada said Drew had written a note that accompanied his gift to her. In it, he wrote how much she meant to him and how he was sorry he didn’t always express that to her. “It was the sweetest thing I think I have ever read,” Ada said. Drew said Ada is delightful to be around. “She just never has negative things about her,” Drew said. “She doesn’t talk about other people. She’s, to me, a very pure person.” Drew, though, couldn’t help Terwillegar will cater the event, while musical performances will feature Ben Carter and Drew’s sister-in-law Sylvia Reddish. “We just had our 50th, it seems like,” Ada said. “I didn’t think we’d live that long, but we did, and here we are—60. We might make our 70th. Who knows?” Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013 • Telegraph, Times & Monitor B Section 5B Obituaries Central Cemetery in Gainesville.

Not a week passes—and this is true— an elections worker from another county doesn’t call here to tap into Carol’s broad knowledge base in the elections realm. “As great as she’s been as an assistant supervisor of elections, it’s only surpassed by her reputation as a wonderful human being. She epitomizes what it means to be a Christian lady and a public servant.” During the Jan. 25 reception, Vaughan read letters Milner received from Gov. Rick Scott and Sen. Bill Nelson. The letter from Scott, in part, read: “Your dedication and conscientious work are admirable, and I know you’ll be missed by your colleagues. I commend you for your public service. Congratulations on your accomplishments. Wishing you a happy and healthy retirement, and may you continue to find challenge and reward in the years ahead.” Carol Milner gets a hug from Terry Vaughan after he presents her with a picture. The letter from Nelson, in part, read: “I appreciate your dedication and commitment to serving the people of Florida. You will certainly be missed.” After the letter from Nelson was read, Milner was presented with an encased U.S. flag that was flown over the U.S. Capitol at the request of Nelson as a way of honoring her. A tearful Milner talked of her career and how she enjoyed serving the voters and candidates in Bradford County. She promised that during future elections, she would return and help out in any way she could. “Even if it’s meeting the poll workers coming in at night and helping them with all their stuff,” she said. Vaughan said the Bradford County Commission may have proclaimed Jan. 25 as “Carol Milner Appreciation Day,” but every day of the 21-plus years he has worked alongside her was “Carol Milner Appreciation Day.” “She means so much to all of us,” Vaughan said. of Lake Butler was arrested Jan. 28 by Bradford deputies for a probation violation.

Sunrise Home Care Services, 352-4682619. 8B Telegraph, Times & Monitor B Section • Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013 Fishing report, bass tournaments and more Paul Phillips of Starke noted that the fishermen encountered several bass beds during the Bradford Bassmasters tournament at Lake George on Jan. 5. The lake is 80–100 miles south of Starke, and several large spring runs temper the lake water on the western shore. Joey Tyson of the Bald Eagle Bait and Tackle in Keystone also confirmed these descriptions and anticipates the bass will be staging for their anticipated spawn shortly. He also noted that crappies from Clay County lakes indicated fish roe lately when cleaned. This is also consistent with Gary Simpson’s weekly Gainesville fishing report in most of the Alachua and Marion County lakes. However, this is not consistent with reports of Kingsley Lake and its deeper water. Apparently, some of the large female bass are moving into shallower water in preparation of their spawn in the shallower lakes and the lakes south of Starke. The Lake Butler Bass Club held its January tournament on Jan. 5 on the Santa Fe River at Sandy Point. Sandy Point is paddling distance from the Suwannee River, and the location is somewhat unique to bass fishermen from Clay and even Bradford counties. Cody Douglas and Dean Elixson brought in the top five fish, which totaled approximately 10 pounds. That weight is small primarily because it includes Suwannee bass—a beautiful but somewhat smaller fish—as well as largemouth bass. The club’s next tournament will be at Sampson and Rowell lakes and subsequently will be on the first Saturday of each month. Anyone interested in fishing with the Lake Butler club should contact Dean Elixson. The Bradford Bassmasters Club held its January tournament on Jan. 19 on Lake George, launching just north of Silver Glen Springs at M-Port Ramp. The group encountered the heavy wind after-effects of a cold front, but did respectively anyway. C.K. Ryan and John Reis caught the top five fish, which totaled 16.11 pounds, and the big fish at 7.65 pounds. Ron Corbin and Danny Weldon, of Baldwin, placed second, and Danny and Jesse Gathright placed third. The Bassmasters club has finalized its 2013 tournament schedule as listed below. (Note specifically that the Feb. 23 tournament on Rodman at the Kenwood ramp is an open meet. If anyone would like to compete, they can do so by paying only the tournament charge. The club dues are exempted.) Tournament dates: • Feb. 23 (open tournament), Rodman Kenwood Ramp; • March 22-23, Lake Seminole Spring Creek Park; • April 27, Little Lake Santa Fe; • May 25, Sampson Lake trestle; • June 22, Lake Rousseau Dunnellon; LEGALS PUBLIC MEETING KEYSTONE AIRPARK AUTHORITY’S REGULAR SCHEDULED BOARD MEETINGS WILL BE HELD ON THE 1ST TUESDAY OF EVERY MONTH AT 6:00 P.M. LOCATION IS: 7100 AIRPORT ROAD, STARKE, FL. AGENDAS AND NOTICE OF CANCELLATION WILL BE POSTED ON THE AUTHORITY’S WEBSITE AT www.keystoneairport.com NO LATER THAN 72 HOURS IN ADVANCE. 1/31 1tchg-B-sect • July 27, Rodman Kenwood; • Aug. 24, Rodman Kenwood; • Sept. 28, St. Johns Welatka; • Oct. 1, TBA. The Florida Bass Network also fished Lake George on Jan. 19, launching at the Welatka Ramp. The winning five fish also totaled approximately 17 pounds, and the FBN, like the other club, reported some bass beds on the western shore of the lake. The FBN will be fishing Santa Fe Lake for its Feb. 2 tournament, and moonwise, that tournament should be in for an active fish day. One observation should be made about the impact of tournament fishing on the bass population. Tournament fishermen are good fishermen— they fish hard, and they catch many large fish. It is an accepted practice, however, that all tournament fish be released unharmed. As a matter of fact, most clubs will penalize a fisherman if a fish dies. So these fishermen are good conservationists as well as good fishermen. The Jacksonville Daily Record announced on Dec. 21, 2012, that Bass Pro Shops plan to open a store on I-95, 17 miles south of I-10 in north St. Johns County. The store is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2014, subject to planned interstate alterations and tax negotiations. That will shorten the previous drive to Orlando for all those outdoorsmen who feel obligated to visit periodically. Remember the following dates for your outdoors calendar: • Jan. 26, full moon; • Feb. 10, new moon; • Feb. 21, Crosshorn Ministries monthly meeting at the Starke Golf and Country Club features Lamar Williams for turkey hunting/calls; • Feb. 25, full moon. Tight lines and safe hunting until next week. If you have a story, idea or photo to share, please contact Mickey Agner via email at mka@ maoutdoors.com, or by phone at 904-964-1488.
