Movie-themed Bradford County Fair opens March 8
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Staff Writer
STARKE — The 66th annual
Bradford County Fair, which
opens Tuesday, March 8,
promises to be “A ‘Reel’ Fun
Fair,” celebrating the movies
with several themed nights.
Channel your inner Roy
Rogers, Dale Evans or any other
cowboy or cowgirl on Western
Wednesday, March 9. Prizes for
best western attire will be two
tickets to Florida Twin Theatre
and a dinner for two at The
Steakhouse In Starke.
On Thursday, March 10, team
up with a partner for DynamicDuo Night. Whether it’s Batman
and Robin or Thelma and Louise,
the best portrayal of a famous
duo could earn you two tickets
to Florida Twin Theatre and a
dinner for two at Call Street Café.
Does the weather forecast call
for a freeze on Friday, March
11? It does if you’re at the fair
because it’s “Frozen” Friday.
This night is all about the kids,
who get the chance to dress as
their favorite characters from the
beloved Disney movie. Princess
Elsa will be there, and free snocones will be given out. The top
three winners in the costume
judging win two tickets to
Florida Twin Theatre.
Prepare to make the jump
to light speed and travel to a
galaxy far, far away on “Star
Wars” Saturday (March 12).
As you might imagine, you are
encouraged to dress as your
favorite Jedi, droid or any other
member of George Lucas’
universe. Best-costume prizes
are two tickets to Florida Twin
Theatre and pizza for two at
Tony and Al’s Deli.
All costume judging takes
place at the midway tent at 8 p.m.
Whether you dress up or
not, you can enjoy a trip to the
movies, courtesy of a giant
video screen on the midway. So
buy a bag of popcorn or some
other tasty treat from one of the
vendors and enjoy the overall
experience.
Though not necessarily movie
related, the opening day on
Tuesday, March 8, does have a
theme: American Pride. Visitors
are encouraged to wear red, white
and blue in conjunction with
the fact that it’s also Veterans’
Appreciation Night. All veterans
will receive free admission with
military ID.
The fair also once again
honors our senior citizens by
providing them with a free
lunch, sponsored by Community
State Bank and the Tourist
See FAIR, 5B

Larry Brown garners BHS NFL recognition
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Staff Writer
STARKE
—
Bradford
High
School
received
a
commemorative football and a
letter from NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell as part of the
Super Bowl High School Honor
Roll
initiative
recognizing
schools and communities that
have contributed to Super Bowl
history.
High schools across the
nation—and around the world—
have received or are in the process
of receiving golden footballs
made by Wilson in recognition of
alumni that participated in Super
Bowls, whether as players on
active rosters or as coaches.
BHS
received
its
commemorative
ball
in
recognition of 1967 graduate
Larry Brown, a tight end/
offensive tackle who was a
member of the Pittsburgh
Steelers when they played in
Super Bowls IX (16-6 win over
Minnesota, 1975), X (21-17 win
over Dallas, 1976), XIII (35-31
win over Dallas, 1979) and XIV
(31-19 win over Los Angeles
Rams, 1980). He had the team’s
first-ever Super Bowl touchdown
reception.
Brown was the first of four
fifth-round draft picks by the
Steelers in 1971. He played tight
end his first six years with the
team, though he was hampered
by injuries his first three seasons.
In his fourth season, Brown
caught 17 passes for 190 yards
and one TD. The Steelers capped
Larry Brown’s sister Carolyn Spooner and brothers Jimmie (center) and Adrain
display photos of Larry and the commemorative gold football Bradford High School
received in honor of Larry’s four Super Bowl appearances with the Steelers. Photo:
Smelley
that season with their first Super
Bowl appearance—the 16-6 win
over the Vikings. Pittsburgh led
9-6 with 3:40 to play when Brown
caught a 4-yard touchdown pass
from Terry Bradshaw. That
culminated an 11-play, 66-yard
drive that featured a 30-yard
reception by Brown.
Former BHS head coach David
Hurse, who coached Brown,
was quoted in the Telegraph as
saying, “Wow. That was some
game, and Larry played just like
he always has. He comes up with
the big play when it will help his
team the most.”
The following season would
Brown caught 16 passes for be Brown’s last at the tight end
244 yards and one touchdown position as head coach Chuck
in the 1975 season, which again Noll asked him to move to
saw the Steelers advance to the
Super Bowl.

Dear Editor:
It has finally happened. The
citizens of our county have
finally gotten tired of the way
some parts of our county are
being run. More people are
running for office than any I
have known of before.
This includes the school board
and the school superintendent,
the teachers and management. I
have been told more people are
being hired from outside the
county than ever before.
I don’t remember seeing
anything recently that provides
for any quality of the education
that our children deserve, with
ratings going lower every year.
I would like to know what
an audit of the school board
management would find.

Thanks to KH
Volunteer Fire
Department
Dear Editor:
I just wanted to take the time
to give a big thank you to the
Keystone Heights Volunteer
Department and all who served
in the department over the many,
many years. What a great job they
did. I can speak first-hand to their
professionalism, because while
editor of the Monitor, I often was
on the scene watching the men
and women at work. They scored
a 10 every time. Some years later,
I stood by as they rescued a loved
one trapped in a car from a car
accident. They also were there
for my family on several other
occasions over the decades. And
the department evolved from one
where the fire whistle called the
volunteers. They were dispatched
by Clay Electric dispatcher, to
being part of Clay County’s 911
system. And who will ever forget
the kindergarten trips to the
station, and the time and patience
these volunteers spent with the
little ones in our community.
And then there was every July
Fourth, when they participated
in the parade and often had
something special at the station.
And for teens, they always had
a door open with programs to
give insight into this honored
profession, and in the end many
of those youngsters did indeed
join the ranks. Not enough good
can ever be said about these
volunteers. Many thanks to all,
who ever served. Job well done.
Anne Sponholtz
womb is not only acceptable, but
practically heroic.
First, the idea that a woman’s
“reproductive rights” include
killing another person is
preposterous. Yes, women-and
men-have certain rights when
it comes to reproduction of the
species. But our rights as human
beings come from God. Our own
Declaration of Independence
makes this very clear. God does
not bring a new person into
existence so that some already
created person can end her/his
life. To take the life of any person
outside of the domain of selfdefense is simply murder, even
if it is condoned by a majority of
people. It’s not a human being,
you say? Ignoring the science
does not change the fact. DNA
says “it” is human and is a
different person from the female
whose womb is being occupied. It
is not part of her body; her body
is being temporarily utilized to
house this “new person.”
Of course there are those who
believe that, even if it is a human,
the baby must be terminated
to allow the “survival” of the
family. Economic conditions
being what they are, if a female
deems it necessary she should be
free to choose to have this person
killed. But a family’s survival
is far from being a valid excuse
for aborting a baby when we
have a government, which is all
too eager to give out taxpayer
money to millions and millions
of people, many of whom are not
even Americans. This is not about
survival. The real bottom line to
this argument is that one member
of the family must be eliminated
so that the rest of the family can
have more “stuff.” And if this is
a valid reason to kill, then why
not extend this concept to include
any member of the family that a
woman deems to be a financial
burden, unborn or already
born? Wouldn’t that be a logical
extension of such a belief?
Secondly, the assertion that
the numbers of abortions have
been decreasing because of
contraception is patently wrong.
The Guttmacher Institute, a
division of Planned Parenthood
Federation of America, said that
“54 percent of women who
have abortions had used a
contraceptive method during the
month they became pregnant.”
Planned Parenthood and other
similar institutions know this and
yet still aggressively contribute to
the idea that everybody should be
having sex with whomever they
please. These abortion providers
are more than happy to give
out contraception left and right
because, when that contraception
fails, and a scared, unsupported
female comes to them for more
“help,” there is much money
to be made. Abortions, unlike
Another reader
takes issue
with abortion
Dear Editor:
In her letter published in
SR-230 E (2 miles east of US-301)
Abortion is not
a part of the
essentials of
motherhood
Dear Editor:
A recent letter to this
newspaper attempted to defend
the concept of abortion and the
existence of America’s premier
abortion
provider,
Planned
Parenthood. I would like to
refute several of the points the
writer tries to use to sell the idea
that destroying a baby in the
contraception, are not free at an
abortion clinic.
Lastly, the writer makes an
outrageous statement about
inserting “ideology into policy,”
which she claims makes a
mockery of Christianity. (Implied
here is the idea that laws should
not reflect Christian beliefs.) If,
indeed, she believes that policies
—laws— should not reflect
ideology, why is she demanding
that HER UNCHRISTIAN
IDEOLOGY be reflected in our
policies? And should we then
also dispense with the policy of
arresting people for hijacking a
vehicle-and hundreds of other
“policies”- since they also reflect
the ideology of Christianity?
The
true
mockery
of
Christianity occurs when selfproclaimed “Christians”- or
anyone else-- fails to recognize
the following:
a) Man’s body comes from his
parents; his soul is a direct
creation of God.
b) Human beings are a
combination of the slime of the
earth and of the likeness of God.
Our soul is made in His image.
c) In the natural order, mankind’s
greatest glory is the part that
God selected us to play in the
Creative Act. IT IS AN HONOR
bestowed upon us.
d) Once a sperm and egg join, a
human being exists. Nowhere is
there any evidence that God does
not immediately “assign” a soul
to this new person.
e) If someone comes along and
terminates the life of this personat any time in her/his natural
existence-then they oppose the
will of God, who, indeed, willed
each one of us into being.
f) TO OPPOSE THE WILL OF
GOD IS TO COMMIT SIN; in
this case the sin we call murder.
It is called “doublethink” to
say we can protect or support
families, or our national interests,
by allowing any member of a
family to be killed for any reason.
It is very disheartening to know
that, besides a great number
of our lawmakers, millions of
Americans have been double
thinking their way through life
for many years.
Motherhood
entails
two
essentials—love
and
a
willingness to serve. Many have
lost these ideals. And, at this
point in our nation’s downward
spiral, only prayer will change
that. God help us!
Leonard C. Young
the Feb. 4 Telegraph, Frances
Rossano tackled the issue of
abortion in the way any good
Humanist mythologizer would
- specifically that it’s a great
option for cash-strapped brown
women to withstand existence.
Naturally, like someone educated
beyond what her common sense
could bear (Rom 1:22, Col 2:8, 2
Tim 4:3), she referred to them as
“mature minority mothers.”
The main crux of her
argument hinged on the fact
that some judges ruled that it
was OK decades ago (Isa 5:20).
This is a PERFECT example of
what I’m talking about when I
say that we’ve traded morality
for litigation and political
correctness. CUT AND DRY.
I suppose when the Supreme
Court “legalizes” pedophilia,
she’ll be the first to serve her
children or grandchildren up on
a silver platter.
She goes on about how Planned
Parenthood is wonderful and that
there’s a Republican under every
table, but honestly, it’s nothing
you couldn’t get at any Satanist
meeting (check out some
transcripts; I’m not kidding) or
MSNBC.
Lastly, she says Christians
are dumb (‘lazy brained’) for
standing up for their convictions
instead of New Age mythology (2
Cor 6:14). She expresses concern
for mixing ideology with policy
when that’s exactly what she
wants when she defends dragging
taxpayers into the bedroom via
forced funding of sewage drains
like Planned Parenthood.
In other words, if you were to
dictate her letter, you’d be better
served playing a short audio clip
of a foghorn. It actually might
be someone doing a really good
parody. Mr. Young, perhaps? I’ll
hafta try that myself sometime...

Brown played the remainder of
his 14-year career.
“I felt very, very fortunate to
play that long,” Brown said in a
Jan. 22, 1998 Telegraph-TimesMonitor interview.
He was voted to the Pro Bowl
just once (1982 season). A May
1, 2013 NFL.com story, with the
help of Bob Labirola of Steelers
Digest, listed Brown as one of
Pittsburgh’s most underrated
players, singling out his final
two Super Bowl performances:
“In Super Bowls XIII and XIV,
Bradshaw passed for 627 yards
and six touchdowns in wins over
the Dallas Cowboys and Rams,
respectively, and Brown made
sure neither Ed ‘Too Tall’ Jones
nor Jack Youngblood got a sniff
of the quarterback.”
The NFL.com story also
Brown caught a 14-yard
touchdown pass from Wayne
McLeod.
The Gainesville Sun gave
Brown honorable mention for
its Area Lineman of the Week
award after Bradford’s 58-13
win over New Smyrna Beach.
He caught a 40-yard touchdown
from Harry Hatcher and returned
an interception 35 yards for
another score.
A 40-6 win over Palatka
included touchdown receptions
of 9 and 33 yards, while a 40-6
win over Fernandina Beach
featured a 32-yard touchdown
reception and a fumble recovery.
Brown was named the
Gainesville Sun’s Area Lineman
of the Week after the Tornadoes’
23-20 win over Columbia
County. Jim Godwin blocked a
punt, which Brown recovered
and returned for a touchdown.
Also, a snap that sailed over
the Columbia County punter’s
head resulted in the punter being
tackled by Brown in the end for
a safety.
“Larry is very deserving of
this honor,” Hurse was quoted
as saying of the Gainesville Sun
award. “He played his best game
of the year against our toughest
opponent.”
Brown caught a 13-yard
touchdown in Bradford’s last
regular-season game. Then, in
the 24-7 state semifinal win over
Auburndale, he caught a 9-yard
touchdown.

Lawtey’s Strong
commits to FSU
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Staff Writer
LAWTEY — P.K. Yonge
running back Charles Strong
Jr., a Lawtey native and former
Bradford
Middle
School
standout, gave his verbal
commitment to Florida State
University after visiting the
school on its Junior Day.
Strong, the son of Torrie
and Charles Strong Sr., is a
sophomore at P.K. Yonge.
According to his father, FSU
made an offer during the Junior
Day visit, which included a tour
of FSU and the chance to talk to
players and teachers. The elder
Strong said he and his son had a
long talk at home before his son
decided FSU is where he wants
to go when he graduates in 2018.
The younger Strong, who
is FSU’s first commitment for
2018, talked to Noles247.com
and cited the school’s family
atmosphere as an appeal and felt
his size and ability fit the team’s
needs.
“(FSU head coach) Jimbo
(Fisher) was surprised and happy
that I committed,” Strong told
Noles247.com. “He was kind
of shocked that I would do it. I
think it is going to be a good fit
for me and that I made a really
good decision to commit to
Florida State.”
The commitment comes after
standout performances at two
recent camps. Strong was named
the MVP of the Feb. 7 Step It
Up combine in Gainesville after
posting the top performances
in the 4.15 shuttle and 43-foot
power toss. On Feb. 13, Strong
earned the Strongest Award at

BHS wrestling season comes to end in regionals
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Staff Writer
TALLAHASSEE — J.T.
Griffis fell one win shy of
qualifying for state, which was
disappointing, but Bradford High
School wrestling coach Bryce
Archer felt good overall after the
conclusion of the Region 1-1A
finals on Feb. 27.
Griffis was one of five
BHS wrestlers to compete
at the Region 1 meet. Dylan
Drow, Andrew Hetler, Eddie
McCormick and Adam Wilson
are all underclassmen and were
first-time regional participants.
In fact, Drow, Hetler and Wilson
are first-year wrestlers.
“I have to say it was better
than I expected because we had
more guys go (to regionals)
than I expected,” Archer said.
“A couple of the matches really
could’ve gone either way.”
Assistant
coach
Conner
“Pops” Godwin said, “All of our
underclassmen were amazing.”
Archer did feel bad for Griffis,
a senior, who he described as
“one of those kids you want
everything to happen for.”
“If he had won his last match,
he’d be at practice right now,”
Archer said.
Griffis went 3-2 in the
126-pound class. He pinned
Godby’s Braxton Marshal in 38
seconds in his first match before
losing 7-6 to Arnold’s Alex Cao,
a state qualifier in the 132-pound
class last season. He bounced
back to defeat Suwannee’s Tyler
Ogles by a technical fall in 4:12
before recording a 15-6 major
decision over Wakulla’s Jonathan
Hunter.
Then, against a wrestler he had
split two matches with earlier in
the season, Griffis was pinned in
4:08 by Raines’ Jaquan English.
Archer said Griffis’ first
loss was frustrating because it
appeared as if Griffis had Cao’s
shoulders in the necessary
position to record a near fall (not
quite a pin), which would have
resulted in the necessary points
for him to win the match. Griffis
thought he heard the referee
counting to indicate such.
The ref, though, had counted
to one before stopping, judging
that Griffis didn’t have Cao close
enough to the mat.
“Of
course,
everybody’s
yelling, so we can’t really tell,”
Archer said. “He held him for
five seconds.”
Hetler (145-pound class) and
McCormick (220) each went 1-2.
Hetler’s win was a pin of Baker
County’s Earl Starling in 2:23,
while McCormick’s win was a
pin of Bay’s Danterius Ghant in
2:33.
One of Hetler’s losses was the
eventual runner-up of his class,
while McCormick had losses
to the third- and fourth-place
finishers.
Wilson (132) and Drow (138)
each went 0-2.
Archer said the experience
of competing at the Region I
meet and observing wrestlers
from 31 schools should prove
beneficial to his underclassmen
as the wrestling program moves
forward.
“Every guy will have another
year under his belt and will have
been on that stage,” Archer said,
adding, “They got to watch a lot
and hopefully learn a lot.”
The BHS program consisted of
four or five wrestlers two years
ago and 13 one year ago. This
year, the team started the season
with 26-27, and approximately
20 will return next season.
Bradford may not have any
wrestlers moving on to the state
finals, but the program is growing
to where it will do so eventually,
Godwin said. The program took
a huge step this year with five

graduates
who
were wrestlers have helped
the program as it continues to
develop, Archer said. Devin
Paulk served as an assistant
coach this year. Former wrestlers
such as Jarraid Forsyth, Phillip
James and Dustin Lariscey have
been a part of training current
wrestlers as well.
“You can’t learn any better
than from the guys who’ve
already been there,” Archer said.
The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that
should not be based solely upon advertisements.

about our qualifications and experience.

HPS Enterprises is comprised of
local farmers and landowners in
Bradford and Union Counties.
The locally owned organization proposes the HPS II Phosphate
Mining Project to excavate for phosphate in a more efficient,
environmentally-friendly, and effective way, and will set
precedence by implementing advanced approaches never
seen before. The project will deviate from traditional mining
efforts to conserve water during the excavation and
transportation phase. Instead of exploiting water to move the
mineral, the HPS team will transport the heavy rock with a train
system. Natural terrain and vegetation will be restored through
a quicker technique and will allow for abundant vegetation
with phosphate infused soil. HPS Enterprises will operate on
their own farm land in southeastern Union County and western
Bradford County.
Construction of the
mining facilities is
planned for 2017 with
the extraction phase
commencing in 2018.
