Monday brought the end of a grue-some
weekend in Lake Butler, but also the start of a healing process for the little town — a process that, according to commu-nity members, may take a long time or may never come.
“We’ll make it through, but it takes everybody,” said Lake Butler Mayor Lonnie Norman on Monday. “This is a family community. We’re going to pull together. We’ve proven that.”
At about 9 a.m. Saturday morning, Hubert Allen Jr., 72, drove around Lake Butler on a shooting rampage that left three dead and two wounded before he returned home to kill himself. Allen allegedly killed his former boss and founder of Pritchett Trucking, Inc., Marvin Pritchett, and ex-cowork-er Rolando Gonzalez-Delgado. He also shot onetime co-workers David Griffis and Lewis ‘Buddy’
Mabrey. A handwritten note discovered at Allen’s house revealed the shoot-ings were a premeditated event targeting those spe-cific individuals.
The note did not reveal a motive, and the Union County Sheriff’s Office has not released one at this time.
As Norman spoke, he reclined in a chair at the LifeSouth Blood Mobile stationed outside Spires IGA Market on SW 1st

WASHINGTON — Tens of thousands of people marched to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and down the National Mall on Saturday, commemorat-ing the 50th anniversary of King’s famous speech and pledging that his dream includes equality for gays, Latinos, the poor and the disabled.
At least eight people from the Lake City branch of the NAACP were among them.
“We made history and shared the experience with current and retired teach-ers, college professors and high school students, news reporters, elected official and common folk of mul-tiple races,” said Debra White, Lake City branch president. “The journey back included discussions and sharing from a wide array of participants from all walks of life, including local NAACP presidents and officers, state and national representatives.”
In addition to White, those attending from the local NAACP branch were: first vice president Allison Scott, secretary Befaithful Coker, member Danathon Lofton and youth members Andrew Moemeka, Justice Campbell, Chiquelo Hadley and Coker’s infant son Michael.
“Democracy is our tool and citizens are the mecha-nism used to operate the
tool,” said Coker. “What a beautiful opportunity this was. My eight-month-old son was the youngest trav-eler and hopefully will expe-rience the positive change brought by the collective efforts of Americans.”
The event was an hom-age to a generation of activ-ists that endured fire hoses, police abuse and indigni-ties to demand equality for African Americans. But there was a strong theme of unfinished business.
“I met a couple who participated in the original march as well as the Selma, Ala., march,” Lofton said. “This was awesome, and I am glad to have witnessed
first hand how many peo-ple are concerned about America.”
Scott said being there helped her embrace the evolving needs of the local citizens on a national plat-form.
“I needed to see the hun-dreds of thousand people in attendance and needed to be charged about the national objective,” she said. “I am pleased to have been part of history.”
Eric Holder, the nation’s first black attorney general, said he would not be in office, nor would Barack Obama be president, with-out those who marched.
“They marched in spite
of animosity, oppression and brutality because they believed in the greatness of what this nation could become and despaired of the founding promises not kept,” Holder said.
Holder mentioned gays and Latinos, women and the disabled as those who had yet to fully realize the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream. Others in the crowd advocated orga-nized labor, voting rights, revamping immigration policies and access to local post offices.

LAKE BUTLER — A former trucking company employee who went on a weekend shooting rampage left a handwritten note that listed his four victims, two of whom died, investigators said Monday.
Union County Sheriff’s Lt. Lyn Williams said three
days of interviews with people who knew 72-year-old H u b e r t Allen Jr. h a v e n ’ t turned up a motive for
Saturday’s shooting spree centered around Pritchett Trucking Inc., but his tar-gets weren’t random.
“Further investigation revealed by a handwrit-ten note at Allen’s house that this was a premedi-tated event targeting these individuals,” according to a news release. “The note did not reveal a motive.”
On Saturday, Allen drove to a farm owned by his for-mer boss, Marvin Pritchett, the trucking company’s founder. He shot and killed former co-worker Rolando
Gonzalez-Delgado, 28, ahortly after 9 a.m., then went a short distance and killed Pritchett, 80, on a dirt road as he was driving into the farm.
Allen, at one time, was considered his top assis-tant.
A few minutes later, Allen pulled over where another former co-worker was driving a farm tractor, exchanged words with him and fired a shotgun, author-ities said. The victim, 66-year-old Lewis Mabrey Jr., was in good condition and is expected to be released from the hospital soon.
Allen, who worked as a farm hand and handyman, then went to the compa-ny’s headquarters in Lake Butler and shot 44-year-old David Griffis in the stom-ach, the sheriff’s office said. Griffis remained in critical condition Monday night.
Allen killed himself at his nearby home at about 9:38 a.m. Deputies recov-

AROUND FLORIDABoy succumbs to brain infection
MIAMI — Family members of a 12-year-old Florida boy who was infected by a rare and deadly amoeba say they’re trusting in God despite being told by doctors that the boy’s brain isn’t show-ing any activity.
In a Facebook posting Sunday, Zachary Reyna’s family said they respect the doctor’s protocol but we “believe God will step in on his time irregardless of what has been said.”
Reyna was infected while knee boarding with friends in a ditch near his family’s LaBelle home Aug. 3.
His uncle, Homer Villarreal, says doctors warned the boy had exten-sive brain damage. He says Reyna’s parents planned to take him off the ventila-tor and donate his organs. But it’s unclear whether they’ve done so.
A spokeswoman for Miami Children’s Hospital said there was no update Monday.
Lawyer wants charges tossed
SANFORD — A Jacksonville attorney who prosecutors claim was the mastermind of a veterans’ charity that actually was a $300 million gambling operation was in court ask-ing that some of his crimi-nal charges be tossed out.
Kelly Mathis was in a Seminole County court-room Monday, trying to convince a Florida judge to dismiss money laundering charges he faces.
Mathis faces more than 200 charges but that num-ber could be reduced to just over 150 charges if the money laundering counts are dropped.
His attorney argued that
he received fees from the Allied Veterans affiliates for legal work.
Pizza deliveryman shoots robber
WEST MELBOURNE — Police are investigating the case of a pizza deliv-eryman who allegedly shot a knife-wielding robber.
WESH-TV in Orlando reports that Bryon Park had just returned to his vehicle Friday after making a delivery to a Central Florida motel when Fredrick Kelly Jr. approached him with a large knife. Police say Kelly threatened to kill Park if he didn’t hand over money.
The pizza deliveryman then reached inside his vehicle for a gun and shot and killed Kelly, police say.
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey says Park appears to have acted in self-defense. Authorities say Kelly was previously
convicted of armed rob-bery and false imprison-ment.
Teacher sought student sex
BOCA RATON — A South Florida high school teacher faces a criminal charge after allegedly using Facebook to solicit sex from students.
Deputies with the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office arrested Stevie Glasspool Thursday. She has been charged with soliciting a child for unlawful sexual conduct using a computer.
The Miami Herald reports that the former social studies teacher who taught at Mavericks Charter High School in Pompano Beach used Facebook to invite stu-dents to sleep over at her Boca Raton home. Authorities said she also offered the students mari-juana as an incentive.
Miley Cyrus, Timberlake own VMAsNEW YORK
It may not be a good thing for her, but Miley Cyrus had the most memorable moment at the MTV Video Music Awards.
The provocative pop singer was the hot topic at Sunday night’s show: Cyrus eclipsed Lady Gaga’s opening performance of her new single, Katy Perry’s closing rendition of her latest hit and Kanye West’s artsy set. The 20-year-old even grabbed more attention than Justin Timberlake’s performance with his ‘N Sync band mates.
Cyrus twerked and gyrated, stripped and swayed. She sang, too.
She had a helper at the VMAs: Robin Thicke. After performing her edgy hit, “We Can’t Stop,” she stripped off her outfit to reveal a nude bikini. She sang the first verse of Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” then grinded on the R&B singer and made suggestive moves with a foam hand. The wild child also slapped a girl’s butt onstage.
It was an eye-popping perfor-mance, much like the party she’s having in her music video for “We Can’t Stop,” one of the most popular on YouTube.
Brooke Shields, who played Cyrus’ mom in a few episodes of “Hannah Montana” on the Disney Channel, took note of that on the “Today” show Monday: “I was Hannah Montana’s mom! Where did I go wrong?”
On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Mika Brzezinski said the performance was “disgusting and embarrassing,” and that people involved should be ashamed.
Twitter said early Monday that Cyrus was mentioned 4.5 million times on the social network site, ahead of Timberlake’s 2.9 million mentions. Cyrus and Thicke’s per-formance led in tweets per minute peaks with 306,100.
Though they were attention grab-bers and nominated for four moon-men each, Thicke and Cyrus walked away empty-handed Sunday night.
Timberlake earned three awards, including video of the year and best male video for “Mirrors.” Days ahead of the VMAs, his rumored reunion with ‘N Sync dominated headlines, and he and his former band mates delivered at the awards show.
Trump calls NY attorney general a ‘political hack’
ALBANY, N.Y. — Donald Trump on Monday defended his Trump University as a booming success for student entrepreneurs and blasted New York’s attorney general, who called it a scam.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman shot back that Trump is making wild accusations, just like
others who commit fraud and get caught.
“We have a terrific school. It’s done a fantastic job,” Trump told ABC’s “Good Morning America.” ‘’We have a 98 percent approval rat-ing among students.”
Trump held several TV interviews to further contest the lawsuit filed Saturday by Schneiderman, which alleges the real estate mogul helped run a phony university that promised to make students rich but instead steered them into expensive and mostly useless seminars.
“This is a political hack looking to get publicity,” Trump said.
His attorney, Michael Cohen, said Saturday that Schneiderman was upset the reality TV star didn’t give him more campaign contributions, which he claims Schneiderman sought even while investigating Trump University.

LAKE BUTLER — Members of this Union County community gath-ered in silence to pay their respects to those slain and injured in a shooting ram-page Saturday.
Hubert Allen Jr., 72, a long-time employee of Pritchett Trucking Inc., fatally shot the company’s owner Marvin Pritchett, 80, and a former cowork-er Rolando Gonzalez-Delgado, 28, Saturday morning, according to the Union County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies say Allen also shot two other former coworkers, Lewis Mabrey Jr., 66, and David Griffis, 44. Mabrey was trans-ported to Shands and is in stable condition while Griffis is still in critical condition, according to a UCSO press release.
Senior Minister of First Christian Church Art
Peterson welcomed mem-bers of the community as they entered the church Pritchett attended.
He spoke fondly of the way Pritchett helped the community by donating to local schools and support-ing youth football. He said Pritchett would even give children free tickets to the circus in town.
“He was a good friend of mine, the family and the church,” Peterson said. “He was a generous man and a pillar of this com-munity.”
People bowed their heads in prayer as they found solace in Biblical scriptures, silently weep-ing.
“We have a lot of ques-tions, the answers to which our beyond our understanding,” Peterson told the 20 or so com-munity members in atten-dance. He called for them to be “compassionate and humble” and to “not repay evil with evil.”
SHOOTINGS Continued From Page 1A
.410 small-bore shotgun and an unfired .32-caliber handgun.
The entire incident unfolded in about 30 min-utes, authorities said.
The shooting at company headquarters was reported to police at 9:24 a.m. When first responders arrived at the scene, they had no idea there were other victims. About 15 minutes later, the call came in reporting the first three shootings.
“It’s probably the worst crime that we’ve ever had happen in Lake Butler,” Williams said.
He added he wasn’t sure they would ever be able to decipher a motive.
Pritchett, 80, founded the company in 1980. Pritchett Trucking’s website said it employs 400 people and owns hundreds of vehicles that operate nationwide.
Pritchett also owned Nextran Corp., which operates 14 Mack and Volvo truck dealerships in Alabama, Georgia and Florida, including one in Lake City.
Allen was the step-grand-father of Buffalo Bills run-ning back C.J. Spiller. Bills coach Doug Marrone said Spiller was excused from the team to go to Florida.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the vic-tims as well as, you know, C.J. and his family in this situation,” Marrone said Monday.

Street. He knew the com-munity had a need, and he wanted to help by donating blood. LifeSouth organized two mobile blood units outside the market, asking the community to support Griffis and the need for blood in the area.
“When you hear that there’s a need here, som-body’s going to take care of it,” Norman said.
Like many members of the community, Norman knew Pritchett. He said Pritchett was a great per-son who loved his commu-nity. According to Norman, Mabrey is an electrician and a hard-working man. He assisted Pritchett on the farm.
“It was unbelievable,” Pritchett said. “Just unbe-lievable that it would hap-pen here.”
A steady flow of people packed into the bloodmo-biles, a line growing in the waiting area as chairs remained full of residents ready to help.
“I’m here for David Griffis,” Lake Butler resi-dent Christopher Collins said. “He’s just a good guy. He’ll go out of the way to help you if he can.”
Collins is best friends with Griffis’ cousin, John, so he’s known the 44-year-old for approximately 12 years. According to Collins, Griffis worked as a mechanic for Pritchett before the shootings. At about 9:30 a.m. Monday, Collins heard doctors at UF Health in Gainesville stopped Griffis’ internal bleeding, but was unsure of anything beyond that.
“We’ll feel the impacts of this for a long time,” he said. “This isn’t something that will just go away. It affected everybody. One senseless act of violence affected the whole town.”
Though Casey Clark resides in Raiford, he drove to Lake Butler to help the community he grew up in. He heard from others that his donation to LifeSouth would help Griffis. Though he didn’t know Griffis, he did know Pritchett and Mabrey. Clark hauled trucks for Pritchett’s company, Mid-Florida Hauling, for about five years during which he came to know Pritchett as a boss and a man. To his
employees, Pritchett was always caring and under-standing.
“Mr. Pritchett was a good man,” Clark said. “An icon in the community.”
As more information about the incident came out, Clark said he was just shocked. According to him, Pritchett’s family has lived in the Lake Butler area for years and is much loved by the community.
“It’s just unheard of in a little community like Lake Butler,” Clark said. “We just don’t have this kind of stuff here.”
Clark knew of Allen from around the commu-nity. He said the man was real quiet and polite. He never heard a harsh word from Allen’s mouth.
“For him to be associ-ated with Mr. Pritchett for as long as he was, it just makes the tragedy all the more shocking,” Clark said. “My heart goes out to the Pritchett family and all the other families involved.”
Lake Butler resident
Daniel Jenkins tried to donate blood on Sunday, but when he arrived at the mobile blood unit around noon LifeSouth was out of bags. But he returned on Monday to support the Griffis family, who he knows personally.
When he first heard the news, Jenkins was sitting in the Starke McDonalds. He thought the story was a rumor, a mistake.
“Why would anybody kill Mr. Pritchett?” he said. “They were all good peo-ple. It just doesn’t make sense.”
Kevin Kirby, co-owner of Kirby & Company Pharmacy, said he grew up in Union County and knows that most everyone will be affected on a per-sonal level.
“We’re all grieving with the families involved,” he said. “Most of us have known Mr. Pritchett, David Griffis and the other mem-bers of the community that were involved. We sin-cerely offer our heartfelt prayers.”
Throughout his life, Pritchett donated money to all aspects of the com-munity, but especially to the Union County School District. He helped with academics, the FFA, various clubs, sports and band.
“If we needed ban-quets or meals cooked, he just helped out in any way,” said School Superintendent Carlton Faulk. “We can never repay even a tenth of what he’s done for us.”
Pritchett graduated from Union County High School, donned the purple and gold of the Fighting Tigers football team and earned a spot in the Hall of Fame two years ago for the Suwannee Conference.
According to Faulk, Pritchett donated money for the Jumbotron that keeps score during foot-ball games on the Union County field. A major University of Florida fan and a Bull Gator, Pritchett approached Faulk to tell him he wanted to get Union County a score-board like the one at The Swamp.
“He took it upon himself to get that scoreboard,” Faulk said. “He will truly be missed by us. He was a great friend to Union County and the Tigers.”
In his honor, Faulk plans to organize a moment of silence during Friday’s football game, the first game of the season. But Faulk knows that Pritchett’s children — Jon, Phillip and Robin — will continue to uphold the Pritchett name, as well as carry on his traditions and legacy within the com-munity.
“There’s a part of the community that may never recover,” said Union County Athletic Director Ronny Pruitt. “He’s always going to be the glue of Union County — to me.”

To the Editor:
Fire assessment, I have heard a lot about the raise for our fire pro-tection service – your insurance rates will go up if the county doesn’t raise rates. Well I contacted my
insurance company and two more. They told if the county does not do anything, my rates would remain the same, so I don’t know what’s going on here. Maybe I’m missing something here.
The county’s fire service needs
to separate their wants from their needs
Ok, I will get down off my soap box, thanks.
Bill BlackLake City
Can you name Florida’s lieutenant gover-nor?
It’s a trick question: The state cur-rently doesn’t have one, not since Jennifer Carroll resigned the position March 12.
And we bet nobody has missed her, either.That’s not a slight against Carroll, who left under
a cloud of controversy surrounding her past busi-ness dealings with so-called Internet cafes accused of conducting illegal gambling. Rather, it’s a statement about the usefulness of the job.
It’s why Gov. Rick Scott should take his sweet time hiring a replacement.
Scott doesn’t need a lieutenant governor until September 2014, when by law his running mate must be selected for re-election purposes. Otherwise, the ostensible second in command is the emptiest of suits, a figurehead with nothing to do. At least the vice presi-dent of the United States, often derided for being an invisible job, is constitutionally mandated as the presi-dent of the Senate who can vote to break ties.
Florida’s lieutenant governor didn’t even exist from 1889 to 1968. The state constitution doesn’t even a separate entry for the position as it does for other executive branch offices (governor, secretary of state, attorney general, chief financial officer and secretary of agriculture). It says only that “[t]here shall be a lieutenant governor,” then says the governor will decide the lieutenant governor’s role. Basically, the lieutenant governor is a warm body sitting in a closet to be used only if the governor becomes incapaci-tated.
If a vacancy in the office occurs, state law says only that “the Governor shall appoint a successor who shall serve for the remainder of the term.” It doesn’t specify how soon the governor must fill the vacancy.
Scott isn’t acting like a man in a hurry. It’s been five months since Carroll left, and the governor hasn’t indicated he’s any closer to finding her replacement. In early August he was asked about the vacant No. 2 and replied that he and his staff are “still working on the criteria” for what he wants in a running mate.
Presumably it will be someone who is scandal-free and won’t embarrass the boss.
Otherwise, what more would you want? Scott had Carroll chair some committees and make some speeches, but that was busy work that any number of other people could have performed.
The longer Scott takes to fill the job, the more money Florida taxpayers will save paying someone to do nothing. When Carroll resigned, Scott furloughed her office’s four employees, who were making a combined $500,000 a year (that included her chief of staff’s annual salary of $100,000).
If Scott can’t fulfill his duties and there is no lieu-tenant governor, then Attorney General Pam Bondi would take over. That makes a lot more sense.
Scott’s dilatory search with zero consequences should spur consideration whether the state constitu-tion should be amended to eliminate the lieutenant governor altogether. Out of sight, out of mind — out of government.
As of next Tuesday, it will have been quite a 12 months for me.
Tuesday is the day my firstborn -- of four
-- goes off to college. It will cap a crazy year in which I got remar-ried; discovered and had repaired through tricky brain surgery a menacing (but unruptured!) cere-bral aneurysm; had a big birth-day featuring a zero in it; went through a major move with my family to a new home, to be with my new husband; and then, yes, dropped my son at the front door of his future.
Let’s see ... I think I’ve covered all the main points.
The march of time, the marking of new phases.
But all but one of these major events speak primarily to some-thing about my own life, or the life I’m sharing with my children and, now, husband, something happening to all of us.
Only the last one is, more than anything else, about someone else.
A life that was once so tied up in mine is now beginning to go a separate way.
To paraphrase the old “Sesame Street” song, one of these things is not like the others.
Here’s what Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson recent-ly penned about dropping his own son off at college: “... it is the worst thing that time has done to me so far. That moment at the dorm is implied at the kindergar-ten door, at the gates of summer
camp, at every ritual of parting and independence. But it comes as surprising as a thief, taking what you value most.”
He’s philosophical about it, noting that his child’s life is now “starting for real” and that he, Gerson, will have a smaller and smaller role in it.
And that’s as it should be. Or, as one of my brothers
notes, everything we do as par-ents is ultimately about raising our children to be independent enough that we can let them go.
There’s something else, some-thing that looms so large for me. It’s not just the passing of years, which we have no control over. Ultimately, it’s the question of what I did with those years when it came to my children. Was it enough?
That I do have some control over.
I’ve had at least one dear friend point out that being a single mom to four young kids for so long gave me a pass of sorts. I mean, they are not in jail or malnour-ished, she likes to say.
But I don’t want just a pass. I want to know: Did I build
into them enough? Did I invest enough? Was it good enough?
In many ways, it’s “easier” with my oldest in terms of letting go than it might otherwise be. He’s already 19. He’s so ready. He’s going to a school close by. Though he’s living on campus, it’s a campus within reach of a com-muter train.
But it’s the beginning of sev-eral exits. A year from now, his sister will be on her way to the beginning of her new life. And all I can think to do, perhaps to her chagrin, is to spend more time with her now so I can answer more positively, “Yes, it was enough.”
Of course, the exits will con-tinue, and it won’t really be “enough” -- ever. I suppose it’s not meant to be, and, in many ways, wanting the answer that I do to that question is about me, not them.
That’s the crux of things. Now it’s more and more about letting go, and watching them fly, and fly high, without me. So yes, it’s been an amazing year. But this difficult -- and bittersweet and yet wonderful -- time could be the beginning of the real adven-ture.

Reflecting on my firstborn’s departure for college
Fire fees: What’s going on?L E T T E R S T O T H E E D I T O R
Thank you for excellent care at VA facilityTo the Editor:
Thank you for the VA nursing home-hospital and hospice in Lake City.
For three years, my husband was a patient at the veterans nurs-ing home/hospital in Lake City and found this a most impeccable facil-ity. I would like all veterans and citi-zens of this wonderful country to be aware of the expert care that these most valuable servicemen receive. I commend each and every employee
and all the personnel that make this exquisite, yet tedious care possible.
The unit my husband was in was for Alzheimer’s and mentally ill servicemen. These workers never know what each day would bring, but had the ability to carry out their shift with expert competence.
My utmost gratitude goes out to you all. You will always remain “my family” away from home. Even though I live far away, I will contin-ue to visit and hopefully volunteer again, to show my appreciation the
best way I know how.God works in wonderful ways.
This is an example of his choices of people that diligently come to work every day, knowing that they are doing the work of God.

Wild rideCharlie Ripple, 3, slides down a water-slide at Eastside Elementary School’s Back-to-School Bash on Saturday. At the bottom of the slide, kids splashed into small pool, sending water fly-ing at onlooking parents. (See story, more photos on page 6A.)
on U.S. Highway 90 along a sidewalk with her friend, Stephanie Lunde, and a red Jeep Grand Cherokee entered the crosswalk and struck Lunde on her right side.
Skinner told authorities that the vehicle was travel-ing west on U.S. Highway 90 before it make a left turn onto State Road 247 at a high rate of speed. Skinner told authorities that once the vehicle struck Lunde, it continued to travel south on State Road 247 out of view.
Skinner yelled for help and Rebecca Parrish came to her aid in the roadway and called 911. Parrish told authorities that she did not witness the actual acci-dent, but she only heard a woman screaming for help. Parrish told authori-
ties that soon after she saw a red Jeep traveling south on State Road 247, but she ran to the intersection to assist the women on the roadway.
Units from Lifeguard Ambulance Ser vices and the Lake City Fire Department responded to the scene and carried Lunde to Shands Lake Shore Regional Medical Center, reports said.
Lunde was reportedly hospitalized with broken ribs, a collapsed lung and internal injuries but is said to be recovering.
While conducting a prop-erty check at 164 SW Mary Ethel Lane, Officer Nikki Gunter reported seeing a red Jeep Grand Cherokee matching the vehicle description provided by witnesses.
Gunter reported the hood had “smudge marks and front end damage to the grill on the vehicle”.
While she was investigat-ing the vehicle, a man iden-tified as Dicks, approached the vehicle and asked if something was wrong.
After he was read his
constitutional rights, Dicks reportedly admitted to striking either a pedestrian or bicyclist, but said he did not stop to render aid due to the suspended status of his license and the vehicle’s registration status.
Dicks was then arrested and taken to jail.

Stepping up to the mat, Michael Dicks picked up the yellow ball, took a moment to aim at the target in front of him and then let the ball fly. It hit its mark, and assis-tant school superintedent Lex Carswell tumbled into the water.
Michael then ran to the back of the line, waiting for his next turn to pitch against the dunking booth at Eastside Elementary School’s first Back-to-School Carnival on Saturday.
“It was a very nerve-rack-ing,” Carswell said. “Every time someone throws the
ball, you tense up because you don’t know if you’re going to go in. But it’s all for a good cause. The kids are having fun.”
The event, organized by principal Trey Hosford and the Parent Teacher Organization, lasted from 2 until 7 p.m. The PTO will use funds raised to provide incentives for students to stay involved and motivated, as well as support events like field day and gradua-tion.
Hosford was pleased with the turnout. By 3:15 p.m., he was excited by the number of kids enjoying the day’s festivities. Bounce houses, water slides and
carnival-like games kept the children entertained.
“It’s been great in the first hour to have this many kids,” Hosford said. “We want to raise money. But even if we break even on this, it’s been great to see all these kids running around having a good time.”
In addition to six bounce houses, the dunking booth line-up included Carswell, School Superintendent Terry Huddleston, Hosford and Columbia County School Board Chairman Steve Nelson. To Hosford, it meant a lot that the men came out to support the cause.
Though the school orga-
nizes an annual fundraiser every year, this is the first time they decided to do a carnival. Hosford plans to do it again next year.
“I’ve already been think-ing of ways we can improve it,” he said.
Next year, Hosford plans to involve the other schools by providing money to each school if their students come to the carnival.
Grady Moore of Rountree Moore donated to Eastside Elementary to sponsor the event, Hosford said. He appreciated the help from the local business, as well as all the teachers and PTO members who helped throughout the day.

suspect.In July and August, author-
ities reported that four more convenience stores were burglarized in a similar man-ner to the break-in at the Spring Food Store.
The Fast Track store at the intersection of Highway 100 and Price Creek Road was burglarized Wednesday, Aug. 21, when the suspect broke the store’s front win-dow to gain access into the store. Once in the store, the suspect realized a clerk was inside, so the suspect report-edly ordered the clerk to the back of the store. While in the store the suspect took several items before leaving. The store’s clerk was not harmed in the incident.
On Thursday, Aug. 22, the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office received processed evidence (DNA samples) from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement crime lab that reportedly identified Simpson as a suspect in the Spring Food Store burglary from June 16.
Columbia County Sheriff ’s Office deputies obtained a search warrant for Simpson’s residence on Northeast Webster Avenue
and went to the home on the same evening to serve the warrant, but Simpson was not home. However, authorities reported that they found additional evi-dence — about 193 packs of Newport cigarettes, in Simpson’s dwelling.
On Friday, Aug. 23, detectives were able to fol-low a lead on Simpson’s whereabouts.
As Columbia County Sheriff ’s Office detec-tives and Lake City Police Department Task Force members attempted to surround the location, Simpson fled out the rear of the home into the woods.
After a brief chase on foot, where Simpson was subdued when he was struck after he was shot with a Taser, he was taken into custody.
Authorities said Simpson sustained minor injuries during his apprehension and was taken to Shands Lake Shore Hospital for treatment. After the treat-ment Simpson was taken to the Columbia County Detention Facility for booking.

me reach my goals for the future. I also love that CHS offers different extra-curricular activities so I am able to stay involved.
Teacher’s comment: Mikala is a sweet, nurtur-ing young lady. She is self motivated and always available to lend a help-ing hand. Because of her personality and willing-ness to learn, her career choice of becoming a nurse is perfect for her. I am delighted to have Mikala in my class.

From refining crude oil to purifying drinking water, 33-year-old Kimra Lewis has certainly experi-enced the full spectrum of working with vital natural resources.
Already a certified wastewater operator, Lewis has dedicated herself to protecting Florida’s one-of-a-kind water ecosystem — and now she has her sights set on doing even more.
When Lewis found herself drawn to the chal-lenges involving drink-ing water, she enrolled in Florida Gateway College’s Drinking Water Certification course. Just as financial challenges put this goal at risk, an advisor told Lewis about the Nestlé Waters “Every Drop Counts” scholarship. This one conversation kept her dream alive, and Lewis prevailed against tough competition to win the scholarship and the money it provided to con-tinue her certification.
The scholarship is one of two $1,250 needs-based awards offered by Nestlé Waters each year to Florida students inter-ested in working in the field of water manage-ment. Recipients must be taking classes in environ-mental science and expect to complete the program in less than a year. Lewis knew she had the experi-ence and passion to win the award, and her faith in herself proved justified.
“I would not have been able to afford that class without help from Nestlé Waters’ scholarship,” said Lewis. “This scholarship allows me to continue working in the field I love without having the burden of tuition looming over my head.”
Lewis has had to over-come adversity to pursue her dreams. When she was younger, her fam-ily moved to Florida from
the U.S. Virgin Islands to pursue better oppor-tunities, but at one point she was forced to return. Eventually, Lewis got a job at an oil refinery, but that wasn’t what she real-ly wanted. Undeterred, she made her way back to Florida.
Now, while finishing up her drinking water certi-fication, Lewis works at a wastewater treatment facility near Orlando that serves more than 400,000 people. The plant treats wastewater so it can be reused for other beneficial purposes.
Lewis’ job includes tak-ing samples, measuring contaminants and moni-toring the purification process to make sure the water leaving the facility is much cleaner than when it came in.
“It was definitely a field that I was interested in, but I never thought I would love it this much,” said Lewis. “Now I’m looking forward to work-ing at a drinking water facility — possibly even at one belonging to Nestlé Waters. It really is the greenest job on earth.”

Gov. Scott opens education summitBy BRANDON LARRABEE
The News Service of Florida
T A L L A H A S S E E —Educators, business lead-ers and advocates gathered Monday in Clearwater for a three-day education summit called by Gov. Rick Scott — but the first day in some ways served to highlight differences between those involved in public schools as the system enters a criti-cal period.
In an early example of the
disagreements that could affect the meeting, Joanne McCall, vice president of the Florida Education Association, highlighted teacher concerns with the state’s accountability sys-tem, now under siege from several sources.
“I’ve been all over this state as school begins ... and they’re frustrated,” she said. “They don’t feel the system has value, and they don’t trust the system.”
But Keith Calloway, with
the Professional Educators Network of Florida, said teachers were not uniform-ly opposed to the state’s system of assessing teach-ers.
“There are many of us teachers out there right now that like the evalua-tions,” he said.
The summit comes as Florida faces several ongo-ing controversies in its accountability system.
The State Board of Education recently
approved a one-year exten-sion of a policy that pre-vented each school from dropping more than a letter grade on its state report card after superintendents complained of a likely implosion in scores.
Despite the move, 107 elementary schools, or slightly more than 4 per-cent, received “F” grades on the report card. In 2012, 40 schools got F grades, amounting to just more than 1.5 percent.
7ASCHOOL
speaker from the 1963 March on Washington, railed against a recent Supreme Court decision that effectively erased a key anti-discrimination pro-vision of the Voting Rights Act. Lewis was a leader of a 1965 march, where police beat and gassed marchers who demanded access to voting booths.
“I gave a little blood on that bridge in Selma, Ala., for the right to vote,” he said. “I am not going to stand by and let the Supreme Court take the right to vote away from us. You cannot stand by. You cannot sit down. You’ve got to stand up. Speak up, speak out and get in the way.”
Organizers expected about 100,000 people to participate in the event, the precursor to the actual anniversary of the Aug. 28, 1963, march that drew some 250,000 to the National Mall and ushered in the idea of massive, non-violent demonstrations.
Marchers began arriv-ing early Saturday, many staking out their spots as the sun rose in a clear sky over the Capitol. By mid-day, tens of thousands had gathered on the National Mall.
Lynda Chambers, 58,
gave up a day’s pay to attend because her retail job does not provide paid vacation. Even as a 7-year-old at the time of the origi-nal march, she felt alien-ated and deprived of her rights. Remembering those feelings, she said, she was compelled to make the trip
Saturday.“I wanted to have some
sort of connection to what I have always known, as far as being a black person,” she said.
Longtime activist Al Sharpton, now a MSNBC host, implored young black men to respect women and
reminded them that two of the leading figures in the civil rights movement of the 1960s were women.
“Rosa Parks wasn’t no ho,” he said. “And Fannie Lou Hamer wasn’t no bitch.”
Speakers frequently mentioned persistent high unemployment among blacks, which is about twice that of white Americans, and the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the shoot-ing death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida. Along the Mall, Martin’s picture was nearly as ubiquitous as King’s.
Nancy Norman, of Seattle, said she was dis-appointed more people who look like her had not attended. She is white. But the 58-year-old she said she was glad to hear climate change discussed along-side voting rights.
“I’m the kind of person who thinks all of those things are interconnected. Climate change is at the top of my list,” said Norman. “I don’t think it’s one we can set aside for any other dis-cussion.”
Those in attendance arrived in a post-9/11 Washington that was very different from the one civil rights leaders visited in 1963.

MARCH: Locals attend anniversary event in DC Continued From Page 1A
By STEVEN [email protected]
A woman was arrested after a scuffle with Lake City police involving sto-len beer, a crack pipe and Tasers, according to an arrest report.
The owner of a gas sta-tion reported to police that Sophia Elaine Means, of 177 NE Montana St, was seen entering the conve-nience store and stuffing several beers down the front of her pants and leav-ing without paying, the report said.
Means denied stealing the beers despite security camera evidence indicat-ing otherwise, according to the report, and began
walking away from the officers who arrived on scene.
Officers then physically detained Means after they saw her take a small glass crack pipe from her bra, the report said.
Means resisted and was forced to the ground, at which point she smashed the crack pipe, the report said. Officers claim they shot Means with a Taser to prevent her from resist-ing further.
Means was detained in Columbia County Detention Facility on $9,000 bond and faces charges of destroying evi-dence, drug equipment possession, resisting an officer and larceny.
From staff reports
A Fort Lauderdale woman died in an all-ter-rain vehicle accident on Old Bellamy Road early Saturday, the Florida Highway Patrol reported.
Dead is Gina Marie Rodriguez, 31, according to a press release from the FHP.
Two other individu-als, Michelle Elizabeth Texeria, 29, Hollywood,
and Kevin Andrew Edwards, 24, Cooper City, suffered minor injuries in the crash, the release said.
FHP said it is not known which of the three was driving the 2003 Polaris Ranger when the west-bound vehicle spun and overturned at about 12:40 a.m.
None of the three was wearing a helmet, the release said.

FORT WHITE — Fort White High volleyball’s 2013 team has a new coach and veteran players.
Kelbie Ronsonet will lead the Lady Indians against P.K. Yonge School at 6 p.m. today. The junior varsity plays at 5 p.m.
P.K. Yonge has joined Fort White’s District 5-4A, in place of Williston High, and made it tougher. The Blue Wave was District 3-3A runner-up last year and made it to the second round of the playoffs.
Fort White was square in the middle of last year’s returning district teams that includes defending champion Santa Fe High and runner-up Keystone Heights High, along with Bradford High and Interlachen High.
The Lady Indians were 4-0 against the latter two teams, but were swept by the top two district teams.
Santa Fe made the third round of the playoffs, while
Keystone Heights exited in the first round.
Returning varsity players for Fort White are Arianna House, Emily Roach, Mallorie Godbey, Ashley Cason, Rykia Jackson, Bailey Robison and Leah Johnson.
Hollie Beach, Cheyenne Patterson, Beth Morgan and Mallory Seally have moved up from the junior varsity and Jordan Waller rounds out the roster.
Fort White hosted a clas-sic event on Thursday and played Lafayette High and Union County High.
“The first game was nerve-wracking, but I got to see them in a game envi-ronment,” Ronsonet said. “The girls have improved a lot with all the dedication they put in. I feel pretty good.”
Ronsonet said the team would play a 5-1 set with one center.
“It is easier for the girls,” Ronsonet said. “There is better communication and they know who gets the second ball. I am putting in the girls that have worked the hardest.”
Fort White next hosts Suwannee High at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

U.S. Open glance
A look at the U.S. Open, the year’s last
Grand Slam tennis tournament:
Surface: Hard courts.
Site: USTA Billie Jean King National
Tennis Center in New York.
2012 Men’s Singles Champion: Andy
Murray of Britain.
2012 Women’s Singles Champion:
Serena Williams of the United States.
Last Year: Murray beat 2011 champion
Novak Djokovic 7-6 (10), 7-5, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2
to become the first British man since Fred
Perry in 1936 to win a Grand Slam singles
title. Until that victory, Murray was 0-4 in
major finals. He added a second Grand
Slam trophy at Wimbledon this year, again
defeating Djokovic in the final. Williams
took the last four games to come back
and edge Victoria Azarenka 6-2, 2-6, 7-5
for her fourth U.S. Open championship
and 15th Grand Slam title overall, a total
she’s since raised to 16.
Key Statistic: 10 — Years since an
American man was a Grand Slam singles
champion; Andy Roddick won the 2003
U.S. Open.
Prize Money: Total payout to players
is $34.3 million, with $2.6 million each to
the men’s and women’s singles champions.
Those are records for the tournament
and increases of about 35 percent from
2012.

Venus upsets Flipkens Associated Press
NEW YORK — Venus Williams had been 14-0 in the first round of the U.S. Open, though she never had to face an opponent ranked in the top 30 at that stage.
Williams was usually the seeded player, but after two years of illness and injury, the seven-time major champion was the one pulling the upset Monday when she defeat-ed Wimbledon semifinalist Kirsten Flipkens.
Her ranking down to No. 60, Williams beat the 12th-seeded Flipkens 6-1, 6-2 for one of her biggest wins since she pulled out of this
tournament two years ago because of Sjogren’s syn-drome, an autoimmune disease.
Rafael Nadal rolled past American Ryan Harrison 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. Nadal.
American Sloane Stephens rallied from a set down to beat Mandy Minella of Luxembourg 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (5).
In the day’s first big upset, 179th-ranked qualifi-er Daniel Evans — stunned 11th-seeded Kei Nishikori in straight sets. Evans won 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 in his U.S. Open debut.
Third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska and fifth-seeded Li Na advanced in straight sets on the wom

DEAR ABBY: I am a 65-year-old active woman who still works. I play tennis several times a week and have a loving relationship with my kids. I know with certainty that I have many good things in my life. However, since my sister died last year, I have been having second thoughts about a lot of the decisions I have made over the years -- especially regarding rela-tionships and my choice of jobs.
I realize now that more than a few of my deci-sions were based on low self-esteem, although I don’t come across that way. I’m feeling depressed and lonely, and it’s hard to be positive. I feel like my world is shrinking, and I don’t know how to get back on track and be a positive and happy person again. As it is, I’m faking it with my children, and my friends have no idea how I really feel. How do I improve my life at this late stage? -- DEPRESSED IN SAN DIEGO
DEAR DEPRESSED: You are lucky to be vital and active, because it means your world doesn’t have to shrink any more than you want it to. Because you say you’re lonely, perhaps it’s time to consider enlarging your circle of acquaintances.
Please remember that regret is the cancer of life. You can’t change the past,
and you mustn’t allow it to cloud your future. While you may be having second thoughts about choices you made when you were younger, the lessons you learned from them have made you the person you are today.
** ** **DEAR ABBY: I think our
culture is severely lacking when we don’t teach our children how to politely and non-aggressively stand up for themselves when the need arises. People suffer in all sorts of relationships -- work, family, friends -- because they’re afraid of confron-tation. Raising a subject that may be embarrass-ing and risking angering someone isn’t fun, but it’s COMMUNICATION.
If you have a problem, large or small, address it in private with the indi-vidual. And if someone tries to talk to you about something you’d rather not hear, be an adult, listen and respond civilly instead of reacting childishly.
We teach children to respect authority, be kind to others and be leaders
-- but we don’t teach them healthy confrontation, which is something we all encounter in our lives. -- TALKING IT OUT IN INDIANA
DEAR TALKING IT OUT: I agree with you. The kind of communica-tion you’re describing is a skill. It requires not only a strong ego on the part of the “confronter,” but also tact and diplomacy. And the “confrontee” needs to have the ability to listen without responding with hostility to what is being said.
** ** **DEAR ABBY: In my
university classroom, students place their feet on chairs, teachers lec-ture while sitting on their desks, and the dean of the school herself sits atop her desk and places her feet on a chair in front of her. Please tell me that this is NOT OK! -- PROPER IN WASHINGTON
DEAR PROPER: It appears you come from a generation or culture in which the atmosphere has always been quite formal. I can tell you it’s “not OK” if it will make you feel better, but if it’s acceptable to the teacher, the dean and the school, then it’s time for you to loosen up.

BABY BLUES
HOROSCOPES
DEAR ABBY
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Whatever you do, offer your best effort and plenty of enthusiasm. The impression you make now will bring about bet-ter opportunities in the future. Don’t let a relation-ship stop you from being productive. Get your work finished before you social-ize. ★★★★
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A challenge will cre-ate new friendships and an opportunity to use your skills in an unusual capacity. Let your emo-tions drive you to excel. Don’t get angry when you should get moving. If you want something, make it happen. ★★★
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Express your feelings. It’s better to say what’s on your mind than to display actions that may be inap-propriate. A change of plans will turn out in your favor. Put your energy into making personal improve-ments that will enhance your life. ★★★
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Friends will play a role in the decisions you make. Problems with an older or younger family member should be taken care of using unusual methods. Show compassion, but don’t give in to a situation
in which you don’t feel comfortable. ★★★★
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep a close watch over the way others react to the situations that unfold at work and at home. Staying grounded and making last-minute alterations will show your leadership abil-ity and attract an interest in your personality. ★★
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t wait for some-one else to make the first move. Strike while the iron is hot and make your point clear. Don’t feel you have to pay for others’ mistakes. Take over and do things your way. ★★★★★
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t assume any-thing if you don’t want to be disappointed. Do your own thing and refuse to cave if someone is pushy. Take time to chill out and rejuvenate. Pick up an item that boosts your ego or confidence. ★★★
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Believe in your abili-ties and talents, and trust in your judgment. Follow through with your plan and speak on behalf of yourself and those you feel you can represent honestly. You can make
a difference if you follow through. ★★★
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can listen to what others have to say, but do what’s best for you. Someone is not going to have your best interests at heart. Leave some time to enjoy socializing or getting together with someone you love. ★★★
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your sensitivity toward a situation will not go unnoticed. Take pride in your ability to get things done. Make your choices based on what you see and know to be true, not what someone tries to lead you to believe. ★★★★★
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t dwell on the obstacles when there is so much you can do if you let your talent and abil-ity lead the way. An inter-esting connection you have with someone will spark an idea that can lead to finan-cial gains. ★★
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Focus on partner-ships, love and the oppor-tunities you will encounter through the connections you make. Keep your feel-ings hidden until you have a chance to see if someone shares your sentiments. Invest in an idea you have. ★★
