News from Bradford County, Union County and the Lake Region
Santa Fe, community team up to ‘envision’ Bradford’s future
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Regional News/Sports Editor
Santa Fe College President
Jackson Sasser said it’s a “good
day” at the college, so he chose
to channel his focus on Bradford
County during a combined
state of the college address/
Envision Bradford 2023 meeting
at the Gov. Charley E. Johns
Conference Center in Starke on
Sept. 10.
Referring to the college’s top10 ranking by the Aspen Institute
and a recent accreditation process
in which Santa Fe received an
“A” grade, Sasser said, “I didn’t
give the state of the college
because, quite honestly, it’s
good.”
Instead, the meeting was all
about Envision Bradford 2023—
a series of meetings the college
has been hosting at which
community members have been
identifying the critical issues the
county faces in the future and
identifying 24 specific needs in
eight topic areas that are vital to
Bradford’s future.
In response to any who
have questioned why Santa Fe
College has been involved in
such a project, Sasser said he
has replied that it is the college’s
job. He summed up the college’s
relationship
with
Bradford
County with a statement
President John F. Kennedy made
to the Canadian parliament in
1961: “Geography has made us
neighbors. History has made us
friends. Economics has made us
partners. And necessity makes us
allies.”
Sasser said the college’s role
is not to make the decisions in
regard to Bradford County’s
future, but to help the county get
the resources it needs in moving
forward the way community
members envision.
It’s an exciting prospect for
Sasser, who said, “We’re on the
precipice of doing something

of Bradford
County as part

Bradford
2023 series of
meetings.
really, really important.”
During three meetings in June,
July and August, community
members looked at eight issues:
technology
and
economic
development; mobility and
infrastructure; public safety;
housing; health care; workforce
development; public education;
and higher education.
Over the course of those
meetings,
recommendations
were discussed and narrowed to
a list of three in each of the eight
issues:
•Technology and economic
development: hire dedicated
economic development staff to
promote Bradford County as
a potential relocation site and
to develop business retention
and expansion programs to
keep existing businesses in
the county; address the lack
of adequate water, wastewater
and broadband infrastructure
to eliminate hindrances to
economic development; and
city and county officials work
together to develop a probusiness environment and take
advantage of opportunities
to work together to promote
economic development.
• Mobility and infrastructure:
provide access to water/fire
hydrants and sewer services
to outlying parcels in the city
of Starke; develop a plan for
commercial businesses to be
located along proposed bypass
interchanges;
and
review
availability and/or requirements
for annexation into the city of
Starke.
• Public safety: provide utility
infrastructure and authority;
seek better communication
capabilities; and build roads for
emergency transportation.
•Housing: perform a needs
assessment for housing; pursue
housing grants; and encourage
city and county to work together
to resolve zoning issues that
would impeded businesses from
locating to Bradford County.
•
Health
care:
increase
development of health care
expansion services; retention
of staff; and recreation and
entertainment to include fitness
opportunities.
•Workforce
development:
provide
infrastructure
for
information
technology to support education
and business; provide tax
relief, continue impact fees
moratorium, etc.; and hire an
economic development person
dedicated to promoting the
region and the current industrial
parks.
•Public education: improve
Internet access and broadband
connectivity
for
residents;
discover, acquire and properly
utilize the necessary resources,
contacts and tools needed to look
into the future and accurately
identify forthcoming jobs and
careers; and utilize a community
wide, collaborative approach
to problem solving issues and
overcoming obstacles that might
hinder the progress of the school
system.
•Higher
education:
make it clear to the business
industry, including existing
and potential new businesses,
that Bradford County’s higher
educational institutions have
built foundations that allow new
programs to be added quickly;
make the same items clear to the
families of business employees;
and sell the product.
Sasser, in providing an
overview of the Envision
Bradford
2023
results,
expounded on a few of the
recommendation in each issue
area. For example, he stressed
how important he thought it was
to hire an economic development
professional and to provide
water and sewer services to the
city of Starke’s outlying areas.
“To be able to grow more
business, you’ve got to extend
the infrastructure out to more
areas,” Sasser said.
Improved Internet access and
the availability of broadband
service was the recommendation
in a couple of issue areas. Sasser
agreed with its importance,
saying Starke must have
broadband services, whether
they come about as the result of
local, state or federal resources.
“That’s just got to be done,” he
said, also noting the importance
of Internet access in education
for today’s children. If children
have limited access to the
Internet, Sasser said, “You’re
taking away from your children
rather than giving.”
In regard to the issue of higher
education and Santa Fe’s role in
Bradford County’s future, Sasser
said, “We are primed to provide
what is needed. If we don’t have
the skill set at the college, with
the resources we have and the
contacts we have right now, we
can get it.”
Sasser turned the floor over to
a couple of community members,
including Bradford County
Telegraph
owner/publisher
John Miller, who talked of
the importance of providing
employment opportunities so
that young people who grow up
in Bradford County can remain
in Bradford County.
“The sad part is, after they
graduate (from college), they
can’t return to Bradford County,”
Miller said. “What we’re talking
about is jobs.”
Miller mentioned the need
of replacing the loss of such
employers as CMI Joist and
Riverside Uniform.
“We’ve got to be able to create
some of the 1,900 jobs that have
gone away from this county
since 2007,” Miller said, later
adding, “We are very thankful
we have prisons. They’re good
jobs, but they can’t be the only
jobs we have.”
City of Starke and Bradford
County officials are important
in the process of defining the
future of Bradford County, but
they also need the support of the
community around them, Miller
said.
“You have to give them some
direction and guidance,” Miller
said. “Now’s the time.”
Jeff Oody, the president of
Community State Bank and
a Santa Fe College Board of
Trustees member, echoed the
importance of the community
taking an active role in shaping
the county’s future. Oody said
such change goes beyond relying
on city and county officials to
change laws or pass new ones.
“We need businesses, we
need charities and we need
individuals to work together
with our government,” Oody
said, later adding, “The heroes
that can make this happen are
in this room today—every one
of us. If you look to your left
or your right, we are the only
ones who are going to do it. No
one from the outside is going to
come in and change it. If they
do, it’s probably not going to be
changed to the way we want it to
be changed.”
Chad Farnsworth, Bradford
County’s superintendent of
schools, has been an Envision
Bradford 2023 participant. He
said the process has been unique

Area prisons help Sesame Workshop support children of inmates
Crime rates are decreasing,
but the number of children who
have an incarcerated parent has
increased nearly 80 percent over
the past 20 years.
When a family member is incarcerated, it is a life-changing
event that affects the entire family. Young children often do not
understand what is happening
and have a hard time dealing
with it. They are not responsible
for their parents’ transgressions,
but they sometimes feel the situation is somehow their fault.
A new program aimed at help-
ing these children was presented
to more than 140 child visitors
Aug. 17 at Union Correctional
Institution, Florida State Prison,
Reception Medical Center and
Lawtey Correctional Institution.
Caregivers of these young
children often do not know how
to talk to them about the situation. Sesame Workshop—the
nonprofit educational organization that produces Sesame
Street—has devised a program
to help these children, their caregivers and their incarcerated parents deal with this problem.
Children in the RMC visiting park watched the DVD
provided by Sesame Workshop.

“Little Children, Big Challenges: Incarceration” is a bilingual kit for children, ages 3-8,
who have a parent in prison or
jail. The program is designed
to support and comfort children
while reducing their anxiety, sadness and confusion. It also provides at-home caregivers with
strategies and tips for talking
to these children. The program
gives the parents examples of
age-appropriate language they
can use when they talk to their
children about incarceration.
For example, if a child asks his
parent where he is and when he on. Grownups go to prison when
will be home, the program rec- they break a rule called a law.

Make ‘great strides’ against CF Sept. 28
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Regional News/Sports Editor
The fifth annual BradfordUnion
Great
Strides,
a
fundraising walk for the
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, is
scheduled for Saturday, Sept.
28, starting at Shands Starke
Regional Medical Center at 9
a.m. (Registration begins at 8
a.m.)
Lunch will be provided to
participants of the 3-mile walk
by Gator Domino’s.
Money raised during the
Bradford-Union Great Strides
event has increased each
year. Last year’s event raised
approximately $23,000, which
prompted Lawtey native Katelyn
Sims, who helped start the event,
to set a goal of $25,000-$30,000
this year.
Sims, 22, was diagnosed with
cystic fibrosis at the age of 4.
Funds raised through Great
Strides events help provide
funding for the development of
medications, such as Kalydeco,
the first drug to address the
underlying cause of cystic
fibrosis. Kalydeco, developed
by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc.,
was approved by the Food and
Drug Administration in January
2012 for use with people with
one specific cystic fibrosis gene
mutation. It has helped people
such as Charlie Burnett, a
Macclenny man who participated
in last year’s Bradford-Union
Great Strides event. Kalydeco
helped Burnett’s lung function
improve from 44 percent to 77
percent.
The
Cystic
Fibrosis
Foundation provided $75 million
for Vertex Pharmaceuticals’
cystic fibrosis program.
Kalydeco is not available
in a form that targets Sims’
genetic mutation, but Sims’
mother, Leisa, said the fact a
drug like Kalydeco exists in
any form provides hope that
future fundraising efforts will
eventually help more of the
cystic fibrosis population.
“I would like to say that’s part
of why this walk this year is so
important—because we’ve got to
get the FDA to push Kalydeco on
through,” Leisa Sims said during
a cystic fibrosis presentation
at the Sept. 3 Kiwanis Club of
Starke meeting.
Katelyn Sims told Kiwanis
members the drug Cayston has
helped her lung function improve
by 3 to 4 percent, saying, “It
wasn’t a drastic improvement,
but 3 or 4 percent is awesome for
me. I’m not going to complain
about that.”

Leisa Sims said recent tests,
however, have revealed that her
daughter’s lung function is at the
lowest level it has ever been.
“It really would only take one
good bout of pneumonia to put
her at a very dangerous level,”
Leisa Sims said.
That’s why support of Great
Strides means so much. Leisa
Sims expressed her appreciation
for the community’s support of
past events.
“We are very much grateful for
everything you all do,” she said.
“I know it’s a lot. There are so
many other things out there you
could be doing.”
Claudia Werner Foxworth,
senior development director of
the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s
North Florida Chapter in
Jacksonville, also spoke at the
Sept. 3 Kiwanis meeting. She
talked of the importance of the
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
making the move toward finding
a cure—a goal not everyone
shared.
“Back in 1980, the CF
Foundation had been existence
about 25 years,” Foxworth
said. “It was a time of really
divisiveness
at
the
CF
Foundation. There was a group
that wanted to go after the cure
for this disease. There was
another group that wanted to
buy coffins and hospital beds for
children who would never make
it.
“Thankfully,
the
more
positive way won out at the CF
Foundation.”
The foundation made the

tags, and some are specific to a
certain lakes. Carroll’s tag was
for Crescent Lake—just a short
distance southeast of Palatka—
and fill the tag they did with the
big, almost 12-foot specimen in
the accompanying photo.
Carroll follows a common
hunting strategy of arriving
to the hunt at predawn and
locating the gators in open
water, where they typically
spend the night looking for food.
Upon approach, the gators will
submerge. The main task is to
locate the direction in which
they swim. Often, bubbles at
the point where they submerged
will give an indication, and
sometimes, when they settle on
the bottom, they will create a
bubble release that will provide
further location information.
Secondly, the hunters try
to hook the gator with large,
weighted treble hooks attached
to a rod and reel with heavy
line. After the initial hookup, the
hunters typically attempt to set
another hook and eventually a
harpoon for the ultimate control.
Lastly, the kill is necessarily
consummated in Florida with
a bang stick. Brian Johns, who
was featured in a previous gatorhunting article, subscribes to
a similar strategy, as does Jeff
Fitts, another local gator hunter.
Speaking of Fitts, he, too, had
recent success. Fitts’ gator tag
was for Lochloosa Lake, and
on Sept. 6, he, along with Clay
Robinson, bagged the nice gator
Football season is here, and
so is fall. By the publication of
this article, bow hunting will be
underway, but the crappie bit
has not kicked off yet. However,
reports from slightly south of
here indicate that specks are
being caught on Lochloosa and
Newnan’s lakes.
The big three inshore saltwater
fish (flounder, reds and trout) are
available on both coasts. Nicesized croakers are being caught
in the St. Johns, but the shrimp
remain small this year. Mullet
are being caught from the bridge
bulkheads in the St. Johns, and
bank fishermen are catching
mullet and tilapia in those
locations with snatch hooks.
Gator country
Orange and blue are sacred
colors in this part of the country,
but there are a lot more real
swamps in this area besides Ben
Hill Griffin Stadium; and those
swamps have real alligators in
them that people are legally
hunting and catching.
That was the case when Drew
Carroll teamed up with Clint
Jackson and Jason McClellan
on Sept. 1 to fill a gator tag that
he pulled. Some tags are county
in the accompanying photo. As a
matter of fact, Fitts has filled his
quota of two gators for the year.
All of these gator hunters are
local to our three-county area.
Fitts owns a weed management
business and professionally

A topic that is often batted
around about gators is their size.
By most standards, 12 feet long
would usually be considered a
large gator, and that does include
the gator taken by Carroll and
his crew. This past week, Ben
Williams bagged one out of
Lake George that totaled 13 feet,
7 inches. The largest gator taken
in Florida in recent years was 14
feet and 3.5 inches. The largest
gator on record was killed in
Louisiana in 1890 and was 19
feet and 2 inches, weighing
approximately 2,000 pounds.

the preparation and cooking
subsequent to the kill. Due to
the increased population of gator
farms, most people are aware
that gators are often eaten, but
most would be lost when it came
to cleaning or cooking.
Interestingly enough, Johns
says that since he has seen what
gators eat, he generally gives his
away. Carroll uses the services
of a processor that can be easily
obtained from the Florida Fish
and

Commission website (www.

processes his gators himself.
When the question concerns
cooking, the normal response

officials need

Christians they
proclaim to be
Dear County Commissioners and
Property Appraiser:
Several of you proclaim to be
Christians. Do you ever stop to
think that when you make a decision on the budget, how your
decision is going to affect the
residents of Bradford County, or
are your decisions based sorely
on Bradford County and those to
whom you want to please?
The Bradford Telegraph published June 20, 2013, on page 2,
the following: “Bradford County
is financially strong with money
to spend.” It stated how Bradford
County’s assets exceed its liabilities by $67 million—up more
than $1 million from 2011.
I received my proposed property taxes for 2013, and needless to say, no matter which way
you all go on the budget, my
taxes will increase. The market
value on my home went down
by $945, and my assessed value
went up by $856. There was only
one piece of property out here
that was sold this year—a mobile
home with property. All the other
homes up for sale still are. My
question is, how can Ray Nor-

The program recommends
talking honestly with the child
while trying to maintain a home
environment for him or her that
is as stable as possible.
The program materials state,
“It’s important to tell your child
the truth about his parent’s incarceration. It’s the best way to help
him feel loved and cared for.”
The materials also warn that if
no information on the reason for
the parent’s absence is provided,
the child may imagine a reason
of his own—and that imagined
reason might be much more difficult for the child to cope with.

That, in turn, paved the way for

and cures for other diseases,

Foxworth said the Cystic

Foundation’s
farreaching impact has affected
her personally. She got married
this past February. In June, her
husband was diagnosed with
a large growth in his stomach.
The growth was diagnosed as
metastatic melanoma.
Such a diagnosis would have
once been a death sentence,
Foxworth said. In her husband’s
case, though, genetic testing
man and Jimmy Alvarez up the
value of my home when there
are no sales out here? My home
is in the area where only myself
and two other property owners
care about their property. To my
knowledge, Mr. Alvarez never
comes out here. He just goes by
what the county manager and
the commissioners want him to
do for my statistics.
Two years ago, there were
two commissioners listed in the
paper as not paying their property taxes. Last year, there was
one who had several pieces of
property. I know that you all
think, well, if the property owners don’t pay the taxes, someone
will buy a tax certificate so the
county will get its money. But
do you ever think of the property
owners, how they feel not being
able to pay their taxes on a home
they have struggled for years to
hold onto? To the two of you that
were in the paper, now you know
how other people feel when they
can’t pay their taxes, but yet
you agree on a budget that will
increase property taxes again
this year. How can you live with
yourselves?
When you proclaim to be a
Christian, your daily actions in
job or life should reflect it. But
when you make decisions that
will cost people money they
don’t have just so the county can
have more and, therefore, you
commissioners can have more?
That’s wrong. Some of you have
admitted that you didn’t work on
the budget; you just went over
it with the county manager. You
say that you hope that this money will be used to improve the
roads, put more people on mowers to mow along the roads. I’ve
lived in Bradford County (originally born here) for 20 years and
things have stayed the same.
Bradford County looks worse
every year. The areas where the
commissioners live look nice.
When your time on this earth
is up, you will have to face the
Lord, and you will have to answer for your actions. Remember, He sees all and knows all.
He knows whether your decisions were for the good of the
people or otherwise. My Bible
tells me that if you sow good
seeds, you reap good deeds. Do
unto others as you would have
them do unto you. The residents
of Bradford County vote for you
to represent them. This means
everyone, not just the ones who
have money.
Every year when tax time
comes, I hope that more people
will speak up about the budget.
Maybe they do. I don’t go to the
meetings. If they do, it doesn’t
do any good because things never change. Maybe its time for the
people of Bradford County to
wake up and put new commissioners in office and, also, a new
property appraiser.
I pray that the Christians
of Bradford County will start
speaking up in defense of their
God. He is always with us, and
He expects us, as children of His,
to spread His love and goodness.
Sincerely,
Norma Greene
Reader asks
letter writer to
offer solution
to abortion
Dear Editor (in response to the
Sept. 5 letter by Mr. Young):
You bring a good many points
against abortion, but avoid
offering any solution to halt
the slaughter of babies. Do you
have any plan to offer Bradford
County that would help to stop
abortions? Have you personally
done anything to help these
women who feel trapped with no
way out except to kill their own
baby? It’s time to stop talking
and take action. Can’t we start a
fund to help these women? Is it
possible to start a home. however
small, to help some of them to
not only deliver their babes, but
to learn a trade?
The people of Bradford County
are not heartless. They would
back such an effort as this. Mr. Young, I challenge you
take action and lead the way to
save babies.

Strong 1st half propels Union County to 21-7 win over Keystone
BY VINCENT ALEX BROWN
Times Editor
Caleb
Cox
threw
two
touchdown passes in the first
half as the Union County High
School varsity football team built
a 21-0 lead en route to defeating
visiting Keystone Heights 21-7
on Sept. 13.
The
Tigers’
first-half
performance helped overcome
a sloppy second half full of
penalties—three
of
which
occurred on the team’s first five
plays in the second half.
Keystone finally made it into
the end zone two-thirds of the
way into the fourth quarter, but
by then it was too little too late.
The Indians (1-1) made little
ground to open the game,
thanks to Union’s defense,
including Austin Dukes and
Alden McClellon, who stopped
a quarterback keeper for 5 yards.
That would be it for the Indians
before they punted it away.
The Tigers (3-0) did much
better, scoring a touchdown on
their first possession, but the
Indians’ Sam Anderson would
be a thorn in the Tigers’ side all
night long. He tripped up Daquin
Edwards on his second run.
The Keystone defense was also
helped by Josh Knight and Chase
Musselman.
Union’s first score came at
the 5:18 mark in the first quarter
after marching it down the field
on its first possession, earning
three first downs after receiving
the ball. Edwards ran it in for
a touchdown and a good extra

Heights.
point put the Tigers up 7-0.
Keystone again went threeand-out on its second possession,
thanks to an incomplete pass
intended for Brighton Gibbs,
a loss on an Anton Noble run
and a quarterback run that went
nowhere.
The Indians’ Nolan Lowery
forced a loss on a run by
the Tigers’ Isaiah Johnson,
following a flag on Union’s
first play. However, after an
incomplete pass on the next play,
Cox connected with Princeton
Alexander, who took it from the
Tigers’ 24-yard line all the way
to the Indians’ 33 for a 59-yard
completion.
After the Tigers gained
another first down, Keystone’s

Green for a loss, but two
completions later would put the
Tigers up 14-0 after the extra
point. The score was a 33-yard
pass to Cody Miller with 52
seconds left in the first quarter.
Keystone’s offense, again,
could not get a first down, this
time thanks to the efforts of the
Tigers’ Joshua Scott and Andrew
Jones.
This time around, Union’s
offense would have trouble.
Keystone’s Darien Gilio would
stop Johnson in the backfield for
a loss, but the Tigers also had
false start and delay of game
penalties, a bumbled handoff
and a fumble. It was the kind of
sloppiness they would show in
the second half that kept them
from scoring at all.
Like a
bad rerun, Keystone would again
enjoy just one set of downs,
plagued by a hit in the backfield,
a chop block penalty that Union
declined and an incomplete pass.
Things then went from bad to
worse as the Tigers’ McClellon
blocked the punt attempted at
the Indians’ 18-yard line to set
up the Tigers just 6 yards from
the goal line.
Gilio again forced a loss, and
the Tigers again fumbled, but
they would take it into the end
zone, thanks to an 11-yard pass
from Cox to Parker Hodgson
at the 3:35 mark of the second
quarter. Another good extra
point put the Tigers up 21-0 after
just three plays.
Before end of the half,
Keystone finally got a first down
and made it to midfield, but
could not get the ball into their
receivers’ hands to advance any
farther.
The Union offense took the
field and got a first down on
every play—four of them, in fact.
Cox’s overthrown pass, though,
was intercepted by the Indians’
Micah Brown.
Like last week, the Tigers
transformed into a different
team in the second half. This
week, though, they went in the
wrong, with penalties like illegal
substitution, false start and delay
of game. Plus, the Tigers also had
a fumbled quarterback-center
exchange. All of this was just on
the Tigers’ first possession of the
half.
Their defense continued to
play well, though, keeping the
Indians from doing much except
getting a rare first down.
Keystone came up with
another interception, but the
Tigers’ McClellon and Kel
Galloway kept the Indians from
capitalizing on the opportunity.
On the next series, Union
marched it down the field like
it did during the first half, but
through the end of the third
quarter, the Indians’ Gilio and
Anderson hindered the Tigers’
progress. Gilio sacked Cox,
and Anderson got in some good
tackles before being injured,
perhaps with just a leg cramp
because he was back in the game
later to wreak havoc.
The game became sloppy
on both sides, with flags and
an interception by the Tigers’
Green. The one bright spot came
for Keystone came when Blake
Valenzuela was able to connect
with Noble for a 29-yard-pass for
a touchdown at the 4:24 mark of
the fourth quarter. A good extra
point put the score at 21-7.
After little progress on Union’s
next possession, the Tigers’
Alexander would fall on an
attempted punt after a low snap,
which gave the Indians the ball
on the Tigers’ 34. The Indians,
though, failed to convert on that
gift. A sack didn’t help, though
Valenzuela got off a 9-yard-pass
to Grant McGee.
Both coaches talked about
injuries on their respective teams
after the game.
Union head coach Ronny
Pruitt attributed his team’s play
to some injuries coming into the
game, but praised his team for
fighting back.
“It feels good when you come
out, and you fight,” Pruitt told
his team after the game. “Hey,
you young guys, you see the
numbers, what one injury can do
to us. We gotta stay healthy.”
He admonished them to let the
coaching staff know early if they
are injured.
“You get a good rest,” Pruitt
said. “Let’s come back Monday.
We’ve got to work. You all see
that, right? We’ve got to work.”
He reminded them, “We’re
going to outwork everybody

Tornadoes can’t hang onto lead, lose 37-27
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Regional News/Sports Editor
A 91-yard kickoff return
by Kenny Dinkins pulled the
Bradford High School varsity
football team to within three with
approximately seven minutes left
in the game, but the Tornadoes
simply couldn’t stop Fort
White and running back Tavaris
Williams in a 37-27 loss on Sept.
13 in Starke.
The Tornadoes (0-2) held a
20-16 lead at the half, but were
held to 85 yards in the second
half, with Dinkins’ kickoff return
providing their only points.
Kenny Dinkins returns a kickoff 90 yards for a
touchdown to make it a three-point game in the fourth
quarter.
Bradford drove inside the Fort
White 20-yard line twice in the
fourth quarter.
“We were in it until the very,
very end,” Bradford head coach
Steve Reynolds said. “We
were down three in the fourth.
That’s not bad, but we’ve just
got to finish ball games. We’ve
got to get them ready to finish
ball games. That’s our fault
as coaches. We’ve got to push
them to get ready for the fourth
quarter.”
It was quite an effort, though,
by Dinkins, who caught six
passes for 144 yards and two
touchdowns. Plus, he had an
interception on defense as well
as the kickoff return that made
things interesting.
“You can’t ask for more effort
and for more heart,” Reynolds
said of Dinkins.
That performance couldn’t
offset the one put forth by Fort
White. The Indians (2-0) rolled
up approximately 400 yards
rushing for the game, with
Williams gaining 269 yards and
scoring four touchdowns on 27
carries. Williams, who had 119
yards and two touchdowns in the
second half, provided the final
score with a 20-yard touchdown
run.
“We’ve got some defensive
guys banged up right now,”
Reynolds said.
Each team had approximately
200 yards in the first half, but
the Tornadoes wasted a golden
opportunity early in the first
quarter after defensive lineman
Todderick Reed recovered a
fumble on the Fort White 5-yard
line. Bradford had a fumble on
the center-quarterback exchange
on first down, while running
back Jarvis DeSue was dropped
for a 3-yard loss on second
down. An incomplete pass on
third down and a sack on fourth
down ended the series.
On its second possession, Fort
White did drive the ball past
midfield, but Bradford’s Clayton
Woods
sacked
quarterback
Andrew Baker on third-and-7,
forcing the Indians to punt.
Bradford’s offense took to the
field at its own 20, but promptly
gave two points to Fort White
when an errant shotgun snap
resulted in a safety with 27
seconds remaining in the first
quarter.
To make matters worse, Fort
White’s Kellen Snider returned
the ensuing free kick 56 yards to
the Bradford 15. The Bradford
defense made a couple of
nice plays, with Shwan Aaron
tackling Williams for a 2-yard
loss and Woods pressuring Baker
into an incompletion. However,
on third-and-12, Williams broke
several tackles and bounced
outside for a 17-yard touchdown
run 15 seconds into the second
quarter. The PAT put the Indians
up 9-0.
The Tornadoes answered by
showing that they, too, could
score quickly. On the second
play of their ensuing series,
Dinkins hauled in a deep pass
from quarterback Jacob Luke for
a 54-yard touchdown. The PAT
was no good, leaving Bradford
trailing 9-6.
Bradford’s defense forced
Fort White to go three and out
on its next series. The offense
responded with a 75-yard
touchdown drive that began with
a 13-yard scramble by Luke
and a key 29-yard reception by

Keystone 14-6
Dairon Alexander
carries the ball
for the Tigers. He
scored both both
of the team’s
touchdowns
in a win over
Keystone
Heights as the
Tigers improved
to 3-0.
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Regional News/Sports Editor
Dairon Alexander scored two
touchdowns—both of which
followed Keystone Heights
miscues—in the Union County
High School junior varsity
football team’s 14-6 win on Sept.
12 in Keystone.
Alexander had touchdown runs
of 3 and 17 yards as the Tigers
improved to 3-0, following a
season-opening 20-18 victory
over Newberry and a 26-16
victory over Williston on Sept. 5.
Coach Joe Lipsey said it may
not be the most talented junior
varsity team that has come
through Union County, but it
is a team full of kids who have
good characters and are very
coachable.
“We’re excited for them and
for the school,” Lipsey said.
BHS
Continued from 5B
Chris Barron on a third-and-10
play. Dinkins capped the drive,
catching a pass across the
middle of the field and breaking
tackles on his way to a 30-yard
touchdown at the 7:09 mark of
the second quarter. Barron’s PAT
put the Tornadoes up 13-9.
The lead lasted approximately
two minutes as the Indians put
together a 74-yard scoring drive.
Williams had a 26-yard run to
the Bradford 48. Then, on a
third-and-17 play, he scampered
downfield on a reverse for a 55yard touchdown for a 16-13 Fort
White lead after the PAT.
Bradford’s next series did not
get off to a good start, thanks to
a holding penalty, but on thirdand-15, Luke scrambled for a
16-yard gain and first down
at his own 41. Two straight
incompletions left the Tornadoes
facing third-and-10, but Luke
hooked up with Barron for a 22yard gain to the Fort White 37.
Two plays later, Tra’Von Thomas
made a remarkable catch off of a
deflection along the sideline for
a 20-yard gain to the 17.

in girls’ golf
Keystone quarterback Dalen Brown passes the ball,
while Union’s Kris Wimpey applies pressure.
For the Indians (1-1), it was
a bad start to the game as they
failed to handle a sky kick,
which Union recovered. Four
plays later, Alexander scored on
a 17-yard run. Tyler McDavid
added the PAT to put the Tigers
up 7-0.
Keystone pulled to within
one in the second quarter when
quarterback Dalen Brown scored
on a 35-yard option keeper.
It was a good start to the
second half for the Indians
as Chris McLean recovered a
fumble at the Union 45-yard
line. Runs by Terry Giles and
Austin Hogg netted a first down,
but Union’s Jerimiah Foster had
a big hit to force a fumble, which
was recovered by the Tigers’
Craig Slocum.
With a first-and-goal at the 10,
the Tigers needed three plays to
find the end zone on a 3-yard run
by Alexander at the 5:52 mark
of the third quarter. McDavid’s
Luke, who finished the half
8-of-14 for 184 yards, completed
a 7-yard pass to Dinkins before
tossing a 10-yard touchdown
pass to Barron in the corner of
the end zone with 41 seconds left
in the half. Barron, who caught
four passes for 72 yards, added
the PAT to put the Tornadoes up
20-16.
The Indians made a big play
defensively early in the third
quarter when Snider intercepted
a pass, giving his team the ball
at its own 43. Snider later ripped
off a 43-yard run on a fourthdown play to give Fort White a
first down at the Bradford 6. Two
plays after that, Snider scored
from 5 yards out. The PAT put
the Indians up 23-20 with 2:43
remaining in the third quarter.
Bradford went three and
out on the ensuing series, but
Dinkins got the ball back for the
Tornadoes when he intercepted a
Baker pass.
Runs
by
DeSue—who
finished the game with 64 yards
on 14 carries—and receptions
by Dinkins and Barron helped
the Tornadoes move to the Fort
White 20. Bradford, though,
was eventually forced into a
fourth-and-10 play, with Sanders
intercepting Luke at the 12-yard
line.
Luke completed only 4-of14 passes in the second half,
finishing the game 12-of-28 for
249 yards.
Sanders’ 20-yard return on
the interception had the Indians
starting out on their own 32.
Three plays later, Williams was
running in his third touchdown
of the game, covering a distance
of 60 yards. With the PAT, Fort
White was up 30-20 with 7:14 to
play.
That’s when Dinkins made
things interesting, returning the
ensuing kick 90 yards for a score.
Barron’s PAT pulled Bradford to Class 1A. The Buffalo had two

STARKE—David Alan Stone
Jr., technical sergeant (TSgt.),
Florida Air National Guard, 30,
passed away Sunday, Sept. 8,
2013, after sustaining fatal injuries
while assisting a civilian motorist
following an automobile accident.
David’s selfless service and
dedication to duty were hallmarks
that defined who he was. He never
met a stranger, had a smile that lit up
any room and his laughter was truly
contagious. David defined himself
as a father, a husband, an uncle, a
brother, a son and a trusted friend.
David’s life ended the same way he
lived it—in service to others—and
he will be missed.
David was born in Gainesville
and is a lifetime resident of Starke.

Borrowed Angels
Borrowed Angels only stay
for a while.
They touch our hearts with
a simple smile.
Teaching us things we would
have never known.
Then kiss us tenderly as
they fly home.
Sometimes not understanding
the reasons God has within.
You have to start over and that’s
where the heartache begins.
Now in Gods arms, it’s a small
comfort to those left here.
As we are knelt beside her, wondering if her presence is near.
Remembering the way she would
run and dance.
Wanting to hold her little brother when given the chance.
Always wanting her “mm, mm”
fuzzy side down.
When company would come
she’d run around like a clown.
The eagerness of following
everything you’ve done.
From helping feed “Big Boy” to
wanting some gum.
There are so many things you
see yourself closing your
eyes to find.
Trying to keep up with her memory and feeling like
you fall behind.
When you see the sun out or a
gust of wind blows through.
Just know that’s our Borrowed
Angel saying, ”I’m here
and I love you.”
We love you and miss you
more everyday!

part of a collaborative process
to help Bradford County move
forward into the future.
“I’m really optimistic about
everyone’s willingness to step
off that island, join together and
overcome any obstacles that are
in our way,” Farnsworth said.
As its title suggests, Envision
Bradford 2023 is envisioning
what Bradford County will
look like in 2023. Farnsworth
said that’s exciting to think
about, but added he’s even more
excited about the years leading
up to 2023—the years that will
determine what 2023 will look
like.
In his closing remarks,
Farnsworth encouraged those in
attendance to share their passion
about Bradford County.
“Please, just help me in
delivering the message that this
is a great place to work in and
a great place to start a career,
open a business and become
an entrepreneur,” Farnsworth
said. “This is the place to be—
Bradford County.”

Afterward, he concluded,
“Injuries. We just don’t have
Continued from 5B
the depth that we had last year,
else. That’s how we’re going to so we’ve gotta stay healthy.
Tonight, it took a little bit of a
toll on us. We got a lot of little
nicks and bruises that we’ve got
to get fixed.”
Keystone head coach Chuck
Dickinson could relate.
“We’ve got a bunch of
bumps and bruises,” he said.
“We’ve got go get them all
healed up and be ready to go for
next week.”
He added, “We made some
alignment mistakes in the first
half, and we gave up a couple of
third-and-long plays that killed
us. That’s something we can’t
do.”
That’s especially true since
the Indians’ first District 5-4A
game is this Friday, Sept. 20,
at Umatilla at 7 p.m. Umatilla,
though, has yet to win a game,
losing 20-13 to Lecanto, 28-6 to
Mount Dora and 27-6 to Tavares.
Keystone defeated Umatilla
21-6 last season.
Union County’s first District
7-1A game isn’t till next month.
The Tigers head back on the
road for three games straight,
starting with a game against the
1-2 Interlachen Rams this Friday,
Sept. 20, at 7:30 p.m. Interlachen
has a 7-6 win over Hawthorne,
but 28-6 and 72-9 losses to
Weeki Wachee and Menendez,
respectively.
