Ashton Adkins threw a nohitter, while Mackenzie Gault
and Annie Luke drove in two
runs each to lead the Bradford
High School softball team to a
7-0 win over visiting Keystone
Heights in a Class 4A regional
semifinal game on April 30.
It was a history-making game
for the Tornadoes, who have
never advanced to the regional
finals. Bradford (27-2) will
host Titusville Astronaut for
the Region 2 championship on
Friday, May 3, at 7 p.m.
“It’s like the best thing ever,”
Adkins said. “We made history
tonight. No other team has
ever made it this far. It’s just
amazing.”
Adkins was a big part of that.
She had only two strikeouts,
but she didn’t allow a walk in
recording her—and the team’s—
fourth win in four matchups
against Keystone (13-12) this
season. The Indians’ only

Jordan Davis makes a
play in the Tornadoes’ 7-0
regional semifinal win over
Keystone Heights.
It occurred later than he
thought it would, but the bottom
line for Starke native Jawan
Jamison is that he’s got his
chance in the NFL.
Jamison, a 5-7, 203-pound
running back, was selected by
the Washington Redskins in the
seventh round (228th pick) of the
NFL draft.
“It feels amazing to finally
accomplish that lifelong goal,”
Jamison said.
Jamison, a graduate of the
Bolles School in Jacksonville,
played two years for Rutgers
University, gaining 2,051 yards
and scoring 13 touchdowns
on the ground. He thought he
would’ve gone earlier in the
draft, but said all that matters is
that he’s got his chance.
“That’s all I need,” said
Jamison, who is the first person
from Starke to be drafted since
defensive tackle Letroy Guion
in 2008. Guion, a Bradford High
School graduate who played for
Florida State University, was
selected in the fifth round by the
Minnesota Vikings.

Arc thrift store moving, not closing
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
The “For Rent” signs have
led some to conclude the Arc of
Bradford County thrift store is
closing, but the store is only in
the midst of a move, though it is
still open in its current location
during its normal business hours
until that move is completed.
It won’t be a far move. The
store’s new home will be in Suite
4 at L.M. Gaines Blvd.—the
former home of the Suwannee
River Economic Council, which
is located behind where the
store is today. The move will
be an ongoing process between
now and June 30, with the new
location opening for business on
July 1.
The current store is still open

BHS students experience dangers
of drinking, texting while driving
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
McKenzie Crawford hit a tree,
but she still made out better than
fellow Bradford High School
student Marshall James, who hit
a person, or event student Kristen
Cook, who hit two people at
once.
Don’t fret. No trees or vehicles
were really damaged. No one
really hit pedestrians. The three
students, and others at BHS,
participated in a driving simulator
program presented by the Arrive
Alive Tour, which gives students
a feel for how drinking or texting
affect them when they’re driving.
Students couldn’t help but
laugh, while also being quite
shocked at the same time, at how
poorly they did on the simulator.
They found it hard to stay in
their own lane, apply their brakes
in time and avoid hitting trees,
cars—parked and moving—and
pedestrians.
After the experience, each
student was handed a mock
citation, on which an Arrive
Alive Tour awareness instructor
recorded driving infractions.
Since it was a virtual exercise,
one student, when asked by
another if he hit a pedestrian,
could look at his citation and
nonchalantly say, “Yeah, I got 30
years in prison.”

The whole thing
may seem a bit like a video
game, but it will hopefully get
students to thinking about how
some of the actions they take can
affect themselves and others.
“We try to keep it fun,” Arrive
Alive awareness instructor
Patrick Sheehy said, “but
we hit them with some real
good facts—some real good
knowledge—that hopefully is
going to stick with them down
the road.”
The simulator consists of
students sitting inside a real

vehicle and donning virtualreality goggles. They operate the
steering wheel and gas and brake
pedals as if they were really
driving.
Data can be entered into the
simulator program as to whether
the driver is male or female
and how many alcoholic drinks
they’ve had.
Even though the BHS students
were taking part in a simulation
in which they were at the legal
blood-alcohol limit of 0.08,
they were still having major
difficulties.
“I didn’t realize that if you
drink, even if it’s just a little bit,
how much it impairs you when
you’re driving,” student Sydney
Stuckey said.
Cook, after managing what
one of the Arrive Alive personnel
said was a rare feat of hitting two
pedestrians at once, said, “This
is why I don’t drink at all.”
Most students probably realize
what the dangers of drinking and
driving are. That’s why Sheehy
likes to place an emphasis on
texting and driving. He said
most people aren’t aware
that for every alcohol-related
accident, there are four textingor distracted-related accidents.
“Basically, what I’m saying
to you is texting and driving is
four times more dangerous than
drinking and driving,” Sheehy
said. “Probably 90 percent of
your high school and college
students don’t know that fact. I
didn’t know that fact a couple of
years ago.”
As in the drinking and driving
simulation, students sit in the
vehicle and don the virtualreality goggles. No data in
regard to alcohol consumption
is entered. Students are basically
driving under normal conditions
and asked to take out their own
cell phones and start texting.
“It’s rare anyone gets
through an entire course
without crashing,” Sheehy said.
“Everyone always swerves. I
mean, in reality, that’s what
happens when you text and drive.
You can see the people on the
road who are texting and driving
in front of you on the highway.
They’re drifting into other lanes,

Where is
Green’s name
in regard to
historical
building?
Dear Editor:
Sadly, I have noticed lately
that the building once called
the Townsend-Green Building
and then the Townsend Building
is now being referred to as an
address that houses the Union
County Historical Museum,
which only occupies the second
floor and which is only open
for one-half day per week if
then. The building was referred
to as an eyesore that should be
torn down for years, until Green
decided to file an application
with the State of Florida to
have the building designated
as an historical building with
the idea of being able to restore
the building. But even after the
building received the designation
of being placed on the National
Register of Historic Places, the
event received no recognition
by your newspaper, and the city
council persisted in demanding
that Green destroy what was left
of the building.
After
being
sufficiently
embarrassed about their role
in their harassment of Green,
which included stories that
the city council had to pay
the liens on the building (all
liens were waived), the council
proceeded to work with a group
of individuals (including Green)
who decided, each for his own
reason, to apply for the funds
from the state to restore the
building, and when the first phase
funds were released, the City of
Lake Butler graciously received
the building from Green at a
cost of $1.00—yes, that would
be “one” dollar—and the next
issue to cover the story in your
newspaper appeared with articles
about the Townsend Building,
with most of these generated by
certain members of the Union
County Historical Society. A
few prominent citizens had
MOVE
Continued from 2B
Sellars said the multiple rooms
in the new locale will offer
the opportunity to have better
organization of items and present
less of a clutter-like atmosphere.
“We definitely feel like this
will provide a better shopping
experience for our customers,”
Ruszkowski said.
Everything else about the store
will remain the same. It depends
solely on donations for its stock,
and pick-up of those items is
available by calling 904-99642383.
Plus, the store provides work
and valuable experience for
consumers who receive Arc
services. Sellars said on any
given day the store is open, there
are two to six consumers working
there, gaining retail experience
decided that the association of
the name Green with the building
would be dishonorable due to the
notoriety of Lyman Green, who
was actually a great man in many
ways. Lyman, at an early age, lost
his father, and took charge of a
large number of siblings, doing
whatever he could to ensure
their safety and to make sure
they survived. After the death of
his first wife, he remarried and
became a father and provider
to three additional children
that were added to two of his
own, one he had adopted, and
eventually one who was born
to Lyman and his new wife for
a total of seven children. The
last child had cerebral palsy and
remained at home until her death,
being taken care of by the entire
family. All of these children
loved Lyman and accepted him
without reservation. So what is behind these
articles and their name changes
and omission? My guess would
be that there is someone else out
there who wants that building
named for them. That would be
a travesty. So, the next question
is what is the city commission
going to do about it? And last,
when and how is the city going to
let people know that they own a
building of great distinction?

Response
to letter fails
to address
concerns
Dear Editor:
Regarding my letter published
on April 11, 2013, I would
first address my so called
politically incorrect use of the
term “Christians”. My idea of
Christians is anyone who is an
honest, caring, and passionate
individual. If Mr. Jones believes
that I was prejudiced toward his
Jewish neighbor, I apologize. I
was not using it as a religious
term but as description of
appropriate behavior.
As for your letter, placed in the
April 18th Bradford Telegraph,
I am still trying to figure out
where you addressed any of
my concerns, other than my
politically incorrect use of the
word “christian”. that could help them get jobs in
the future.
Working at the store also gives
consumers the chance to interact
with other people. Sellars said
many of the store’s customers
know consumers by name and
take the time to talk to them
while shopping.
Yes, there are many intelligent
individuals in the city and
intelligence is not just an
education level. Intelligence
is not just whether you went
to college or even if you
graduated high school. It is
based on whether the individual
has common sense, logic, a
willingness to hear other points
of view and the facts. Of the few
people that show up regularly to
the council meeting, most are
respectful of the council and
others. Some, on the other hand,
are very disrespectful of not only
the council members, but those
of us who are in the audience.
My point regarding people
fearing retaliation is not of those
who normally attend the council
meeting, but of those that do not.
With the same people showing
up to the council meetings,
except when someone has
prodded others to show up for
their own agenda, this is not a
good representation of the city.
To address your comment
of you being disrespectful
regarding the recreation center,
think nothing of it. Neither
your snicker nor your laughter
bothered me. I have researched
the information on this issue. I
contacted the Bradford County
Building Department regarding
the building permit pulled on
August 9th, 2006, permit number
20060397. The information on
file shows that the following
inspections were completed: the
footers, the slab, open walls, and
the insulation. Items that were
not inspected were plumbing,
electrical, or mechanical. Thus,
without those final inspections,
a certificate of occupancy cannot
be issued.
I do not understand your
statement “…that a citizen would
not have any road service on a
city street”.
As for how you voted when
on the city council, hopefully it
was an informed decision based
solely on the facts and the best
interest of the city. As for the
garbage fee, I personally feel
that this is a service that the city
provided in the past through the
property taxes. With rising cost
of fuel and maintenance on the
equipment, I feel this ten dollar
fee is nominal. If I were to take
my garbage to the dump myself,
it would cost me more than ten
dollars in fuel and my time.

Fishing report,

calendar
The weather in the early
mornings continues to remind
us that it is still spring and not
summer. The crappie bite has
slowed to its typical random
bite, and the bass bite is in the
process of assuming its postspawn attitude.
Spring gobbler season is
over in Florida and is now
available only across the state
line in Georgia. As we wait
on the mayfly hatch to arrive,
the shellcracker and bluegills
congregated on the last full
moon for the first spawn of the
year.
The wet weather and cool
temperatures from the fourth
weekend of April have put a
damper on both the fresh and
saltwater bite, but when the
sun begins to reestablish itself,

The April 20 Save Rodman
Reservoir Bass Tournament was
held in weather that was less than
attractive. The temperature was
a little cooler than comfortable
for a rainy day, but it was not bad
enough to discourage secondplace finishers Brooks Morrell
and C.K. Ryan from Starke. If
that was not enough acclaim for
the local folks, Derrick Daniel
and Michael Johnson of Raiford
came in next for third place. The
four fishermen were in a couple
of the 150 boats and finished
only a few ounces from first and
second place. Ryan and Morrell
frequently place high in our
local tournaments.
The weekly Bald Eagle Bass
Tournament was held on April
24, one day before the full
moon. The weather was good,
and it was a good day for Shane

photograph.
Most of the fishermen were
using soft plastics as bait.
The Sampson/Rowell open
tournament was held on April
25 under a full moon that was
only one day from its complete
phase. Billy Starling and
Randall Alvarez took first-place
aggregate weight and big fish.
They had, however, a story that
is destined to long outlive the
elation of their first place.
Apparently, Starling and
Alvarez hooked into a fish at
the same time, which is not, by
itself, that unusual. What was
unusual was the fact that what

Rumors from the grapevine
indicate that the bream bite on
Kingsley Lake has been hot and
heavy around the full moon.
Apparently, it was a mixed bag
for bluegills and shellcrackers.
The shellcrackers are a little
stouter and a little less prolific
with their spawn; consequently,
they draw more attention when
they start fanning their beds.
Do not forget the channel

reached on an error in the top of
the sixth inning.
“She’s pitched a lot of great
games for us,” Bradford head
coach Daniel Davis said, “but
tonight was probably the best yet.
To no-hit a team like Keystone
is a huge accomplishment,
especially at the stage she did it
on.”
Adkins said, “I knew my
defense was going to work
behind me, but I never imagined
I would throw a no-hitter.”
Keystone head coach Belinda
Phillips said a batter can’t fall
behind Adkins early in the count
and be successful.
“We had to be aggressive at
the plate,” Phillips said. “We had
to attack that first strike because
if she gets ahead of you, you’re
not getting a good pitch.”
It was Adkins who got the first
big hit of the game for Bradford
as she led off the bottom of the
second with a triple. She scored
on a single by Gault. Lindsey
Wiggins bunted into a fielder’s
choice, but Gault beat the throw
to second. The Tornadoes then
loaded the bases when Jaci
Atkinson drew a walk. A ground
ball by Luke scored Gault and
put Bradford up 2-0.
Lainie Rodgers and Jordan
Davis led off the bottom of
the third with a single and a
double, respectively. Gault then
reached on a bunt single, which
scored Rodgers. With two outs,
Megan Farmer hit a single to
score Davis, though Keystone
left fielder Lyndsay Johnson did
make a nice throw to get Gault
out at home and end the inning.
Keystone’s Morris hit an
infield grounder to lead off the
top of the sixth and reached on
an error. She advanced to third
on a pair of groundouts by
Brooke Tussinger and Kristen
Wood, but was left stranded
when Ashley Maynard grounded
out to Adkins.
The Tornadoes increased their
lead by scoring three runs in the
bottom of the sixth. Farmer hit
a triple, which was followed by
Atkinson’s infield single. An
error on a ground ball hit by
Luke scored two runs. Taylor
Cruce drew a walk before
Rodgers singled to drive in the
game’s last run.
Rodgers and Gault each went
2-for-4, while Atkinson and
Farmer each went 2-for-3.
Though the Tornadoes have
at least one more game, the
significance of the regional
semifinal win was not lost on
their coach.
“We’ve had a lot of great
teams at Bradford,” Davis said.
“To know that we’re the first one
to get past this round is a huge
accomplishment. We take a lot
of pride in that.
“I’m very proud of the girls.
They’ve had a great season so
far. Hopefully we can continue it
on Friday.”
Jordan Davis hit a basesloaded double in the bottom of
the seventh to score two runs and
give the Bradford High softball
team a 3-2 win over visiting
South Sumter in a Class 4A
regional quarterfinal game on
April 25.
Bradford trailed 2-1, but strung
together four hits with one out.
Annie Luke, Taylor Cruce and
Lainie Rodgers each hit a single
before Davis hit her game winner
inside the third-base line.
“I just took a deep breath
and calmed my nerves,” Davis
said. “I just relaxed in the box,
watched and reacted.”
Her reaction led the Tornadoes
to their second straight seventhinning win after defeating
Keystone Heights 4-3 in the
District 5 championship game on
April 19.
Bradford head coach Daniel
Davis said he was nervous, of
course, but added that this season
has taught him his team can come
through when it needs to.
“They’ve done it enough,” he
said. “I’m never going to doubt
them.”
The Raiders scored the first
run of the game. Ashley Kimble
led off the top of the second with
a single and advanced to second
on a wild pitch. Kaley Martin
then hit a ball to shallow right
field that scored Kimble.
Bradford answered in the
bottom half of the inning.
Adkins hit a one-out double,
while Mackenzie Gault singled.
An error on Lindsey Wiggins’
ground ball to third allowed
courtesy runner Taylor Crawford
to score and tie the game.
South Sumter took the lead
in the sixth. Kimble hit a two-
out double and scored on Kylie
Jessmer’s single.
Kimble and Jessmer each
went 2-for-3, but the rest of the
Raiders’ lineup was held to three
hits by Bradford pitcher Adkins.
Cruce and Rodgers each went
3-for-4, while Ashton Adkins
went 2-for-3.

DRAFT
Continued from 1B
conference, Washington head
coach Mike Shanahan said he
thought Jamison would’ve been
drafted in an earlier round.
“We weren’t really looking
for that running back in that
seventh round,” Shanahan said,
“but when he was there, we just
thought he was too good to pass
up.”
Despite being hampered by an
ankle injury, Jamison rushed for
1,154 yards and four touchdowns
on 255 carries last season.
He broke the 100-yard mark
in each of Rutgers’ first five
games, which gave him a streak
of six dating back to the 2011
Pinstripe Bowl. The only other
Rutgers running backs to have
six straight 100-yard games are
current Baltimore Ravens back
Ray Rice and J.J. Jennings.
As a redshirt freshman in 2011,
Jamison rushed for 897 yards and
nine touchdowns on 231 carries.
Jamison joins a Washington
team that features running back
Alfred Morris, who gained
1,613 yards last year as a rookie.
Plus, the Redskins used one of
their two fifth-round draft picks
this year to select Florida State
running back Chris Thompson.
That’s just the NFL, Jamison
said. There is competition at
every position, and he knows
that. Those who work hard and
produce earn a spot on the team
and see action on the field.
“I’m going to give it all I’ve
got,” he said.
Jamison was scheduled to take
his first trip to the Washington
facilities on Thursday, May 2.
“I’m excited to see my jersey
with my name on it and to see
what number they give me,” he
said.

‘Canes take 2nd in SMAC
The Bradford Middle School softball team finished as

losing 12-2 to Lake Butler in the SMAC championship
game. Some of the players who came up big during
the late-season surge were Shelby Wilkinson, who
had 14 RBI during that span, Markayla Sanford, who
had nine RBI, Molly Crawford and Madison McClellan,
who each had six RBI, and Zariah Collins and Savana
Shealey, who each had five RBI. Shealey, Wilkinson,
MacKenzie Daughtery and Harli Phillips all helped
as pitchers. Coaches Charisma Calloway and Toni
Fain said the team is losing a great group of eighthgraders, but said the future should be bright based
on the enthusiastic support shown this season by the
sixth- and seventh-graders, who always put the team
first. Pictured are: (front, l-r) coach Toni Fain, Addison

through the
Arrive Alive
Tour.

up. They don’t realize they’re
doing it, but they are.”
Brad Smith, the chief of
operations for the Bradford
County Sheriff’s Office, said
drivers who are texting often
appear to law enforcement
officers as if they are alcohol
impaired.
“(Officers) think they might
have a drunk driver in front of
them,” Smith said. “By the time
they get them stopped, they’re
obviously not drunk. Through
further
investigation,
they
determine they were texting and
driving.”
As Sheehy likes to point out,
texting one sentence is like
taking your eyes off the road for
a minute or more.
“I explain to the kids that for
every letter that you text on the
road, it’s the equivalent to taking
your eyes off the road for three
to four seconds.”
Student McKenzie Crawford
said she wouldn’t consider
texting and driving anyway, but
the simulation reinforced that
notion.
The simulation, she said,
would benefit all students, she
said.
“I think everybody should do
it so they can experience what
it’s like to text and drive and
drink and drive,” Crawford said.
Grant money obtained by
the Bradford County Sheriff’s
Office helped bring the Arrive
Alive Tour to BHS. The rest
of the money was provided
by local businesses Murray
Ford Superstore and Roberts
Insurance.
Murray
Ford
provided the vehicle that was
used for the simulation.
“Both those businesses have
been tremendous,” Smith said.
“When we’ve needed them in
the past, they’ve been there for
us.”
The sheriff’s office also set
up its “seatbelt convincer,” a
device that allows students to
experience what an impact at 5
miles an hour feels like.
“It has a pretty good impact
at 5 miles an hour,” Bradford
Deputy Shaun Burgin said. “You
explain to them, ‘Just imagine
45, 50 miles an hour and how
much of an impact that would
be.’”
Student Curtis Melvin said the
overall experience convinced
him to wear his seatbelt at all
times and to avoid drinking and
driving.
“It made me see how hard
it would be to drive while
drinking, and it showed me what
a 5-mile-per-hour crash was
like,” Melvin said. “It wasn’t
fun.”
Students were also encouraged
to sign up for the Bradford
County Sheriff’s Office’s Teen
Driver Challenge.
“That’s a program where for a
day and a half, we can sit with
students who are of driving age
and actually put them through
the same driving courses and the
same driving situations that we
as law enforcement officers do
when we’re going through the
police academy.”
Smith said the sheriff’s office
has been offering the course for
approximately a year. The goal
is to enroll approximately 12
students per course.
Right now, the course is
not on a schedule, being held
whenever 12 students or so sign
up. However, as word gets out,
it is hoped there won’t be much
down time waiting for students
to sign up.
“Our hope is to have so many
people wanting to do it that
we’re running them on a regular
basis,” Smith said. “We work
with the schools, but also try to
get the word out to the parents.”

the Teen Driver Challenge,
