Center’s annual Jr. College for
Kids program are somewhat
unsure of what to expect when
they arrive on the first day.
Teacher Lindsey Sheffield said
the children are quiet, while
some of the younger ones are
scared enough to begin crying.
It does not take long, however,
for those tears and feelings
of fear to turn into smiles and
feelings of joy.
“Once they get the lay of the
land, they come out of their
shells,” Sheffield said.
Jr. College for Kids just
wrapped up its third year at the
Andrews Center. The program,
which is open to children
who are preparing to enter the
first through fourth grades,
complements the College for
Kids program, which is open
to children who are preparing
to enter the fifth through ninth
grades.
Andrews Center Director
Cheryl Canova said parents who
had children attend the program
for older kids inquire about the
possibility of offering a program
for younger children.
Thus, the birth of Jr. College
for Kids, which has been
attended by approximately 30
students each year.
“It’s worked out great,”
Canova said.
Linda
Sheffield—Lindsey
Sheffield’s mother—coordinates
both Jr. College for Kids and
College for Kids. She admitted
she wasn’t entirely sure about
a program for the younger
children. She thought it might be
too much to ask of teachers who
taught in both programs as there

Then, there was the matter
of dealing with children of a
younger age. However, the
Jr. College for Kids schedule,
which is four hours each day
during a one-week period, has
worked well, Linda Sheffield
said. (College for Kids is
approximately 8.5 hours each
day during a two-week period.)

Sheffield proves her love of SFC programs
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Many students who attend
the Santa Fe College Andrews
Center’s Jr. College for Kids and
College for Kids programs return
year after year. Teacher Lindsey
Sheffield couldn’t imagine not
doing the same thing herself.
Though Sheffield had a special
opportunity to be a referee in the
USA Volleyball nationals, she
decided that what she’d rather do
was to do what she does every
summer—teach multiple classes
in the Jr. College for Kids and
College for Kids programs.
“I’ve done it for so long,”
Sheffield said. “I’m committed
to the program.”
Cheryl Canova said she would’ve
encouraged Sheffield to take
advantage of the volleyball
opportunity, but she also
appreciates Sheffield’s loyalty to
the College for Kids programs.
“She does a really good job,”
Canova said. “I totally appreciate
her dedication.”
Sheffield, who is a 2000
Bradford High School graduate,
is in her third year of working
volleyball matches as a referee.
She works high school, college
and USA Volleyball matches.
She said someone in her position
is still considered a rookie if
they’ve been a referee for three
years or less. Still, Sheffield
got the opportunity to work as
a Big South National Qualifier
referee in Atlanta earlier this
year, though referees at that level
typically have more than five
years’ experience, she said.
Just as teams that survived
the Big South qualifier earned
the right to move on to
nationals, Sheffield, too, had

Thornton fulfills desire, named to hall of fame
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Going to college after
graduating from high school
was not a possibility for Patty
Thornton, who got an early start
in raising a family after giving
birth to a child at the age of 15.
She never lost the desire to
further her education, though,
and eventually enrolled at
Santa Fe College 17 years after
high school. Thornton has
not only proven herself in the
classroom, but was recognized
as an outstanding overall student
when she was inducted into the
college’s hall of fame.
Thornton, 38, admitted she
didn’t think she had a chance
of actually being selected for
the hall of fame when she
was encouraged to fill out an
application by Santa Fe College
Andrews Center staff.
Cheryl Canova said Thornton
has those qualities hall of fame
students should have, such as
good grades and community
service.
“She definitely qualifies,”
Canova said.
The selection committee
obviously thought so, too.
Thornton, who will graduate
in
December
with
an
associate’s degree in business
administration, was one of 15
students to be inducted this year.
Canova said one of the qualities
she admires in Thornton is the
fact she’s such a hard worker—
she’s a work-study student at
the Andrews Center—while still
maintaining a high grade-point
average.
Thornton also found time to
be the Andrews Center’s student
activities president and was a
key component of many of the
group’s projects, Canova said.
“She’s just a step above the
average student,” Canova said.
What Canova finds really
“amazing,” though, is the life
story of Thornton. Thornton
admitted she didn’t have an
“ideal” childhood, saying, “As a
matter of fact, I don’t remember
going to the same school for
a whole year until after my
daughter was born.”
Thornton did drop out of school
after becoming a mother, but
she returned, taking advantage

of dropout prevention and teen
parent programs.
“I actually rode the school bus
with her for a year and a half, two
years,” Thornton said, referring
to her daughter Heather. “That’s
when RJE had the teen parent
program. I graduated with my
class in 1993. I walked with my
class.
“Heather
turned

in
September after I graduated.”
Thornton, who has two other
children who are 12 and 13
(Heather is now 22), went to
work after high school and has
worked for a variety of places.
She started out at Unicorn
Strings in Brooker, but also
worked with the Department
of Corrections and Mr. Auto
Insurance, as well as driving a
truck for a while.
When Thornton enrolled at
Santa Fe, she was working full
time for CVS in Lake Butler.
“I’ve pretty much been
in the workforce ever since
(high school). This is probably
the least I’ve worked ever,”
Thornton said, referring to her
present-day world.
Thornton was always looking
for the right time to go to college.
First, her two youngest children
needed to be old enough. Her
first priority was to take care of
them.
The right time was in the
spring of 2010.
“I figured if I didn’t do it
then, I’d probably never do it,”
Thornton said.
College has been intimidating
at times, like when she’s the
oldest student in a particular
class, Thornton said. However,
she said the adjustment to

returning to a classroom after
such a long absence wasn’t that
difficult.
“It really wasn’t bad,” she
said. “I always liked school, so
that made it easier.”
Canova said Thornton is a
good example to others in the
community.
“To me, it’s an inspirational
story to other people who are
like, ‘I’m working. I have a
family. I can’t go back to school.’
Well, yeah, you can,” Canova
said. “You can do it.”
Thornton has not only done it,
but has earned another measure
of success by being selected
for the school’s hall of fame,
proving that no hurdle is too
big to clear if you have a goal in
mind.
“Even if you’ve had a bad
start in life, you can always
make it better,” Canova said. “If
you can dream it, you can do it.
If you put your mind to it, you
can do it.”

“My passion is teaching,” she

Sheffield, who teaches P.E. at
Wilkinson Elementary School
in Middleburg, has been a part
of College for Kids since its
inception 10 years ago. She was
a college student at the time and
said she didn’t hesitate to answer
when her mother, Linda, called
her and asked if she wanted to
be a part of the program. (Linda

“Heck yes. I’m a poor college

Linda Sheffield said she

Editorial/Opinion
Telegraph, Times & Monitor • Thursday, July 4, 2013 • Page 4B
The past reveals the future
There is an old adage that
says, “History repeats itself,”
and we find the old cliché to
be depressingly correct, more
especially if we do not know
what has gone before. Looking
now at what has gone before,
let us look at the effect of the
highway bypass contemplated
for Starke. Will the good
outweigh the bad in moving
traffic around the town?
Looking at other towns
that have been bypassed by
highways, it is my considered
opinion that once the bypass is
completed and traffic is diverted
from its present route, the town
will regress and become more of
a bedroom community for more
progressive communities.
The small town of Micanopy,
which is 12 miles south of
Gainesville in Alachua County,
was once a typical country town
with amenities to serve the
inhabitants with groceries, car
repairs, banking and other needs.
When U.S. 441 was re-routed and
rebuilt, the town was bypassed,
and commerce disappeared from
the community.
However, Micanopy business
interests didn’t just sit on their
hands. They transformed their
town into an antique shopping
center that attracts visitors
from near and far, and while
it doesn’t progress, it stays
alive. Micanopy has no natural
attractions, although it is only
5-6 miles from Orange Lake,
formerly an outstanding bass
lake, but now subject to droughts
and fish kills. It is also on the

No justice in
this instance
Dear Editor:
The major push currently
underway to grant amnesty
to those who have entered or
remain in our country illegally
is gaining momentum. Many
church officials have jumped
on the bandwagon, and heavyhitting (pseudo) Republican
lawmakers have joined as well.
Some of these individuals are
using “justice and compassion”
as reasoning for this support. I
can see that it would be an act
of compassion to legalize what
these lawbreakers have done.
But justice? No way.
This legislation would give
those granted amnesty access to
all kinds of rights and privileges,
southern edge of Paynes Prairie,
an interesting former lakebed,
but having no momentary value
to the community.
Admittedly, having a heavily
traveled
highway
running
through a town does not
guarantee prosperity. Many
small towns have remained
constant, even though major
highways pass through their
centers. However, re-routing
a highway around a town
invariably costs the town future
growth.
When
Bradford
County
had an effective agriculture
base, producing and shipping
strawberries, and with the
Brooker area growing tobacco
and vegetables, the economy
was humming along, with
everyone participating in the
various enterprises then existent.
The agricultural base is gone.
Strawberry growing moved
to Plant City, and the money
crop—tobacco—lost its market.
The Brooker fields now lie
silent and untended, except
for occasional cattle grazing.
Actually, Bradford County has
limited acres of fertile soil that
lends itself to farming.
The highway bypass is
beyond the talking stage and is
now a certainty, with a five-year
window for business owners
to consider its effect on their
holdings. Certainly, the many
eating places on U.S. 301 will
be the first to feel the effects of
diverting traffic. The motels will
continue to fill during football
season, but the months between
seasons will prove to be difficult
for operators and employees.
The late Freeman Register
III said, “Waldo will become
Starke, and Starke will become
Waldo.” That quotation sums
up the situation facing Starke
residents and business operators.
The North Florida Regional
Chamber of Commerce is
actively working to attract
industry into town, but repeatedly
hears industry say, “We don’t
want to be in a prison setting.”
That thinking is a real burden to
chamber officials and represents
ignorance on the part of business
operators whose knowledge
of corrections is limited. The
chamber could consider a
program for educating business
leaders about the high quality of
employees currently employed
in correctional facilities and the
educational facilities available,
especially in Bradford County.
The Bradford-Union Technical
Center is unappreciated, under
utilized by the community and
unknown outside the local area.
Community leaders are sitting
on their collective hands in
regard to telling the world about
the advantages of relocating to
Bradord and Union counties.
It’s time to take a look at
ourselves, since the growth
of our community is in our
own hands. It is either grow or
regress; the community can’t
stand still.

which Americans enjoy. This as
a result of their disrespecting
our laws. That’s justice? What
these proposals do not do is
absolutely seal the border, which
presently allows drug dealers,
terrorists, disease bearers and
anyone else to enter our country.
Do we not have an obligation
to control these borders so as
to offer security to those who
have legally obtained American
citizenship?
As far as I can see, this entire
attempt to “reform immigration”
is based on lies, just as much of
what comes out of Washington,
D.C. In 1986, when Sen. Ted
Kennedy spearheaded a similar
catastrophe, he made it clear that
if we granted those three million
illegals amnesty, it would never
be necessary to do it again
because the BORDER WOULD
BE SECURED. Today’s current
Democrats, who are making
sure that they are seen as the
party of these poor, abused
undocumented workers, are
simply repeating Kennedy’s lie.
There is no intention of sealing
our borders. Why? Because open
borders are a political avalanche
which wipes away Republican
Party support. (And it won’t be
mitigated by token Republican
saviors of immigrants.)
As a result of the 1986
amnesty, California has changed
from a Republican to a solidly
Democratic state. And it just
so happens that a majority of
those three million who were
pardoned live in California.
What a coincidence! So what
will happen if between 11 and 30
million more illegals are granted
citizenship? It’s pretty obvious,
isn’t it?
Current
bills
regarding
immigrants have nothing to
do with justice. They reek of
a political roundhouse, whose
purpose is to secure votes. They
are a travesty, and I will do
everything I can to oppose them.
True justice just might be to
actually secure our borders and
require all prospective citizens
to follow our laws for entrance.
Is this unreasonable?

People of
Starke should
be ‘ashamed’
of behavior
Dear Editor:
Over the course of the last 35
years, I have passed through
and stopped in your quaint,
little city for fuel, restaurants,
a soda, cigarettes and even
to stay the night on occasion
while traveling Highway 301 an
infinite number of times driving
back and forth between my home
and Jacksonville. It’s the easiest
and fastest way to go. However,
I must say that my trip through
this past Saturday may very well
put an end to my patronage of
your city.
I made a specific trip to Starke
just to be a part of a once-ina-lifetime,
anthropological,
historical event, the unveiling
and dedication of the nation’s
first atheist monument on public
property. My intentions were to
attend the ceremony and then
have lunch somewhere there in
Starke. Unfortunately, the horrid
behavior of some of your citizens
completely ruined my appetite.
When I first arrived in Starke,
I stopped to refuel, get a soda
and to use the restroom. Entering
the convenience store wearing
an atheist T-shirt, I was greeted
by a man and a woman behind
the counter with rude, nasty
comments about my T-shirt and
the apparent reason I was in
town.
When I got to the courthouse,
I was shocked to see protesters
carrying not only several of the
series of Confederate flags, but
also a Bonnie Blue flag and an
Orphan Brigade flag. These are
flags that represent division,
animosity, fear, hate, ignorance,
racism and slavery. Not one
protester carried an American
flag. In addition, the signs they
were holding and displaying
were not only un-American, but
selfish, arrogant and rude.
There were other residents
across the street from the
courthouse ceremony in fourwheel-drive
trucks
blaring
country music, yelling very
hateful remarks across the street
and holding signs, coaxing
passing motorists into honking
their horns in attempts to disrupt
the ceremony. When I drove
out of the courthouse parking
lot, someone threw a fountain
drink cup at my vehicle, yelling
goodbye and good riddance.
I would wager that not one of
those people who were protesting
the atheist monument on
Saturday was even in attendance
at the ceremony for the wrongful
and unconstitutional placing and
unveiling ceremony of the Ten
Commandments monument that
began this whole ordeal.
All y’all in Starke should
be ashamed of the frightfully
childish, ignorant and hateful
behavior from some of y’all. I
am a Florida resident, and I am
entirely ashamed of the way you
represented Florida to the nation
and the world.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.

This reader
thankful for
hard work of
wait staff
Dear Editor:
I wish to apologize to all of
the waiters and waitresses in
the Starke-Keystone area for
the way many of us act in your
restaurants.
Many of us are Christians,
but you would not know it by
our behavior. Some folks are
demanding, rude and poor (or
no) tippers. Some have not
realized that a gospel tract will
not buy gas for your car. Some
believe they were put on this
earth to be food critics, judges
and problem solvers. Some will
eat until they can’t breathe while
complaining the food doesn’t
taste like momma used to make.
I thank you for your long
hours, low pay and sore feet.
Some of us appreciate what
you do.

made the weeklong pilgrimage
to the nation’s capital.
Still, when the smoke cleared,
Union compiled a 3-2 record in
the nine-team tournament, with
both of its losses coming against
eventual district champ Madison
County.
“The team proved to be very
scrappy and just never gave
up, even when they found
themselves trailing late in the
first game,” manager Paul Kish
said. “Rolling to districts with
nine kids is sketchy, but to
qualify for state with nine is nuts
and goes a long ways toward
showing what kind of heart these
kids displayed. From the first
pitch, nobody got a breather all
tournament long.
“If I could go back and change
anything, I’d probably tell the
guys to wash their unis after
each game. Baseball players are
a superstitious lot, and by day
four, we were a little ripe.
“I just can’t tell you how proud
we are of these boys. By the end
of the tournament, everyone was
talking about how hard-nosed
they were and that we only had
nine players. I’ll take that over a
championship any day.”
Union begins tournament play
in Lake City on Thursday, July
11, as it makes a run at a state
championship.

Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion (NMCB) 11 recently
deployed to Camp Shelby, Miss.,
to begin thier evaluated field
exercise (FEX).
FEX consists of scenariobased training and assessments
to certify the battalion as the
“ready
battalion.”
Seabees
will demonstrate knowledge
and skills by satisfactorily
completing predefined tasks, and
appropriately reacting to drills
facilitated by Naval Construction
Group (NCG) 2.
The battalion must build up
its self-contained operations at
Camp Shelby with everything
from command posts and a
combat operations center to a
galley and shower facilities.
Operations will run 24 hours per
day including fighting positions
and watch-stations.
The length of FEX depends
on how well the battalion
performs. Any evolution that
produces unsatisfactorily results
must be repeated. Once NCG2 is confident that NMCB-11
has demonstrated the required
proficiency in all areas of
evaluation, the exercise will
end, and NMCB-11 can return to
Gulfport as the Ready battalion.

Remember you childhood and
summertime. Close your eyes
and think about the good times,
feeling safe and loved and not
worrying about anything except
enjoying summer vacation.
Pause to think how different
you would feel if you had just
been taken from your parents
because of abuse or neglect, were
in a strange home and separated
from your siblings and those you
love, afraid of what could happen
in the future.
Guardian ad Litem volunteers
are appointed by courts to
represent the best interests of
children in the dependency
system. They make sure children
are safe and also gather incredibly
important information for the
court so that the best decisions
possible can be made for the
children. They are also mentors
and someone who spends time
with the children, letting them
know they are important.
For a few hours a month, you

could be.
FUN
Continued from 1B
“I was skeptical,” Sheffield
said, “but (Canova) can talk me
into anything. It’s been a great
success.”
The program is about allowing
children to have a fun time,
taking such classes in which
they can create various works
of art, learn about caring for
dogs, learn about science while
racing objects such as boats and
balloon rockets, and play with
bubbles.
Those who attend Jr. College
for Kids are probably not going
to grow up and find themselves
blowing bubbles in a college
classroom, but by the time they

are ready to attend college, they
can say they’ve actually been
exposed to a college setting.
“It takes some of the fear
away,” Linda Sheffield said.
Sheffield said the program
also helps to ensure the future
success of College for Kids.
“It’s almost like a feeder
program, which is good,” she
said. “We want the kids to be
excited about college.”
This year’s Jr. College for
Kids participants certainly
seemed excited, and it wasn’t
limited to running around and
playing sports in the “Got
Game?” class or interacting with
dogs in the “Doggone Trouble”
class. In the “Sculpture with
Paper Straws class, one student
remarked, “My mom’s really
going to like this,” as she was
putting the finishing touches on
her project. In the “Exploring
Glass” class, teacher Colleen
Gaffney handed out passes
for free family admissions to
Winter Park’s Morse Museum,
which features the works of
Louis Comfort Tiffany. A
student, upon receiving his pass,
exclaimed, “Now I can show my
mom I get to go to a museum.”
One student was excited
about his future career path,
and he hasn’t even started first
grade yet. He built a boat in the
“On Your Mark, Get Set, Go”
class that traveled farther than
anyone else’s. Linda Sheffield
said she praised the boy, who
replied, “Well, I’m going to be
an engineer.”
It might be tempting to think
the children promptly forget
what they had just learned in
one class while they are on their
way to their next class, but one
student leaving his “On Your
Mark, Get Set, Go” class was
singing a song about kinetic
and potential energy that was
featured on a video he had
THE OFFICE SHOP
130 West Call St. • Starke, FL 32091
watched in that class.
“They’re having so much
fun,” Linda Sheffield said.
“They’re having fun, and they’re
learning.”
Those first-day jitters seem
to disappear in a hurry. Some
students were already thinking
about next year’s program.
Linda Sheffield said a student
in the “Fashion 101” class said,
“This class is awesome. We
must have this next year.”
Lindsey Sheffield said she
knew Jr. College for Kids would
be a hit, and she has enjoyed it as
much as teaching in the College
for Kids program.
“The kids love it,” she said.
“They like all the classes. I
actually like to teach the younger
ones as much as the older kids.”

Eric Wall
The IFAS Extension at the
University of Florida tells us
that Florida can expect to see the
following during the month of
July: shore birds on the beaches
will be nesting; tree frogs will be
laying eggs that will hatch into
tadpoles in five days; alligator
and crocodile eggs will begin
to hatch; armadillos will be
breeding; and gray squirrels will
be giving birth.
Best bets for fishing On the freshwater front,
bluegills will be biting around
inshore and deeper, offshore
cover through the summer, but
they will continue to cluster on
beds at new and full moons.
Bass will become more
available at dawn and dusk, at
night and around offshore cover.
The catfish bite in rivers and
lakes will be more active early
and late and at night.
Like bluegills, redbellies
will remain very active in river
and creek waters. The only
difference between the two
species is that redbellies prefer a
cool off.
The results of the June 26
Bald Eagle tournament are as
follows:
• First place and big bass—
Craig Haight and Kelley Miller;
• Second
place—Paul
Akridge and Greg Johnson.
The
Sampson/Rowell
tournament returned to the
trestle last week and enjoyed the
deeper pass into Sampson. The
results, however, indicated that
the best bite came from Rowell
Lake. The results are as follows:
• First
place—Brandon

The aggregate weights at
most of the tournaments have
become somewhat lighter than
they were during the spring until
the fall when the water should
been a multi-year
event in Lake Butler and is a
traditional July 4 activity for
the community. It is sponsored
by the Lake Butler Rotary Club
and goes toward the charitable
causes that the club establishes.
Interested participants should
contact Maggie Wetzel at 954650-7016.
A captain’s meeting will be
held at 3:30 a.m. on the Fourth
at the city launch. The entry fee
per boat is $50, and participants
must be 18 years of age or
accompanied by an adult if
younger. The minimal motor
size will be 15 horsepower. A
fishing license and an aerated
live well are also required.
Love of outdoors led
Eric Wall to taxidermy
When avid hunters or
fishermen make a trophy catch
or kill, they feel such a sense of
accomplishment that they will
frequently seek to preserve the
specimen by way of taxidermy.
Likewise, in a rural community
where hunting and fishing
are so actively pursued, you
can usually find someone that
provides these services.
Consistent with that thought,
there are several in Bradford,
Union and Clay counties who
provide those services and take
pride in their ability to restore
the natural beauty of the living
subject.
One of these taxidermists
is Eric Wall, who lives at the
Crosby Lake Community on
Highway 100 just west of
Starke. Wall, as well as his
parents, Vonda and Wayne Wall,
This is some of
the taxidermy
work that Eric
Wall has done
recently.
has lived in Starke all of his
life. As a matter of fact, Wall’s
great-grandfather (back four
generations), Rowell Prevatt,
lived in Bradford County,
and Wall attributes the names
of Prevatt Creek and Rowell
Lake to Mr. Prevatt. Wall’s
father worked in the forestry
business most of his life, and
Wall attributes his passion of
the outdoors primarily to that
influence.
Wall has worked as an
electrician for approximately 20
years, but during that same time,
he became a licensed gunsmith
and gun dealer. He teaches
classes for concealed weapons
permits as well as martial arts
classes for self-defense.
He attributes his skill as a
taxidermist to a friend who
practices the art of taxidermy
in Florahome. A little over
five years ago, Wall had the
opportunity to work for this
taxidermist part time, and under
her supervision, gained the skills
that he now uses to preserve the
lifelike features of the animal
subjects he works with.
Wall says it was his love for
wildlife and the outdoors that led
to his involvement in taxidermy,
but he easily adapted to the
painting and sculpting demands
of the work. He also indicates
his most frequent work is with
deer heads.
