Myrtle St. Massacre: scary good time, very good cause
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Regional News/Sports Editor
The “Myrtle Street Massacre”
haunted house in Starke opens
its doors to visitors this Saturday,
Oct. 27, and for creator Joshua
Hodges, it offers the best of both
worlds—it helps him bring his
passion for Halloween to others,
while also helping him to honor
his father by helping those who
may find themselves in the same
situation he was in.
Hodges, his wife, Terri, and
friends and family bring the
haunted house to life at 124
N. Myrtle St. The start time is
6:30 p.m. Admission is free, but
donations will be accepted for
the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society.
“My father (Mark Hodges)
passed away in May of leukemia,”
Hodges said. “We thought it
would be a great opportunity to
try and raise money in honor of
him and assist the Leukemia and
Lymphoma Society.”
Besides general donations,
the sale of baked goodies will
also help raise money for the
Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society, as will prize drawings,
which will cost $1 to enter.
Hodges told the TelegraphTimes-Monitor on Oct. 18 he
was still receiving donations for
the prize drawings from local
businesses.
“We really appreciate it,”
This year’s Myrtle Street
Massacre haunted house
will be held in memory of
Mark Hodges, who died
from leukemia in May.
Donations will be accepted
to benefit the Leukemia
and Lymphoma Society.
Hodges said of the support.
This is the third year Hodges
will open a haunted house to
the public. It started small, but
has proven to be popular, with
people often asking him as
early as June if he is planning
on doing another haunted house
and what the theme will be if
so. He estimated 200 people
attended the first one, while that
number grew to approximately
500 for the second. (There was
no haunted house last year due
to Hodges and his wife giving
birth to a child.)
Hodges said the idea came
about because he perceived
children simply going through
the motions when they were out

Alexander sprints
for 180 as Tigers pull
away for 38-18 win
BY DAN HILDEBRAN
StarkeJournal.com Editor
On Union County’s first play
from scrimmage, Prince Alexander broke a 70-yard run for
a touchdown en route to a 180yard performance, leading Union
County to a 38-18 win over District 7-1A opponent Baldwin on
Oct. 19 in Baldwin.
The win clinched a playoff
berth for the Tigers (8-0), who
improved to 3-0 in district play.
Alexander had only four carries in the second half, but his
140 yards in the first half got the
Tigers off to a 24-12-halftime
lead.
Right after Alexander’s opening gallop, Baldwin (3-4) returned the favor with Emmanuel
Johnson taking the ensuing kickoff and returning it to the Tiger
10. On their own first play from
scrimmage, the Indians scored
with a Tim Warren run. But
Baldwin failed to convert on the
extra point and Union held a 7-6
lead after the game’s first 39 seconds.
Later in the first quarter, Carl
Alexander kicked a 33-yard field
goad to extend the Tigers’ lead
to 10-6. To begin the second period, the Union County offense
rode the legs of Prince Alexander, Walter Mabrey and Daquin
Edwards on a six-play, 23-yard
drive, ending with a 31-yard
sprint by Edwards to open up a
17-6 lead after Carl Alexander’s
extra point.
Baldwin then got on the board
again with an eight-play drive
of its own, helped by a Union
County facemask penalty, a 19yard pass from Jordan Mullis to
Matthew Gunter and rushes of
10 or more yards each from Jay
Robinson, Kevin James, John-
son and Warren. The Indians advanced the ball in a no-huddle,
spread attack, but failed to convert another point after touchdown, closing Union County’s
lead to 17-12.
The Tigers scored once more
before halftime with a 10-play
drive of its own. Baldwin helped
Union County with a facemask
penalty after Chandler Mann
scrambled for 13 yards. Prince
Alexander contributed 25 yards
to the drive on three carries.
Mabrey added 24 yards on two
carries and scored from 10 yards
out.
Late in the third quarter, the
Tiger passing attack hit pay dirt
with Mann connecting with Nate
Bridges on a 57-yard pass. Carl
Alexander added another extra
point, giving Union County a
31-12 lead.
On their next possession,
Prince Alexander, Mabrey and
Mann teamed up again, this time
combining for 67 rushing yards,
including a 12-yard scramble by
Mann, a 1-yard score by Mabrey
and a point after touchdown by
Carl Alexander to give Union
County a 38-12 lead.
Baldwin wrapped up the scoring with a fourth quarter, seven
–play drive, engineered exclusively on the passing of Mullis.
The quarterback completed
passes of 11, 5, 12, 22, 21, and
2 yards in driving the Indians
down the field for the game’s
final tally.
“We’ve still got two more
games,” coach Ronny Pruitt emphasized to his team after the
game. “We cannot coast.”
The Tigers will travel to play
Williston (2-5) this Friday, Oct.
26, at 7:30 p.m. for a non-district
game.

Crappie,
shrimp and
trophy bass
The leaves have not turned
yellow and brown to match
the pumpkins that are for sale
everywhere, but fall is definitely
in the air. The bream and
shellcrackers have suspended
their bedding for 2012, and
the scallop season is closed as
well. Many fishermen are now
hanging up their rods and reels,
and cleaning up their guns,
while many of the more active
fishermen are anticipating the
crappie bite.
Gary Simpson, owner of the
Tackle Box on 441 in Gainesville,
indicates that the shrimp in the
St Johns are still running, which
is very unusual for this late date.
Typical, however, of the lateseason run, the shrimp currently
in the river are quite large. The
remnants of old Shands Bridge
in Green Cove Springs have
long been a favorite fishing
site for shrimp. Simpson covers
many lakes south of Bradford
County and has noted in the past
weeks that the crappie bite on
Lochloosa Lake is already quite
active.
Joey Tyson, owner of Bald
Eagle Bait and Tackle in
Keystone Heights, confirms
that many fishermen are turning
their heads to the crappie bite.
Many of Tyson’s customers
fish Santa Fe, Lowery and
Magnolia lakes. He says that the
crappie bite is improving, but
you will have to fish deep for
success. He also says that the
bass are schooling more with the
cooler weather, but typical of the
phenomena, they will weigh less
than 2 pounds.
Townsend Strickland has not
fished Kingsley Lake lately, but
specifies that small schooling
bass are the most active target
on the lake at this time. Due to
the deeper water and clarity, the
crappie bite will postdate that on
many of the other local lakes.
Mike Clemons is a Lake Butler
resident and an active Florida
Bass Network Member who has
been bass fishing Sampson and
Rowell lakes frequently with a
group of friends. They seldom
finish the day without some
reward, but seem to be more
productive at night fishing.
Cody Douglas, another Lake
Butler resident, fishes Palestine
Lake frequently. Although Cody
is eagerly awaiting the Nov. 3
opening for hunting season, he
has been in Palestine recently,
and echoes the other reports:
The crappies are wakening, and
the small bass are schooling.
Maybe those active bass
fishermen should be reminded
that on Oct. 5, the Florida Fish
and Wildlife Conservation
Commission announced its new
TrophyCatch Program. The
program is intended to preserve
and better manage the trophybass catch in Florida. According
to the FWC, the bass-fishing
economic community generated
approximately a $1.25 billion
economic impact on the state’s
economy in 2006. With that in
mind, it is little wonder why the
program received the support of
the big three professional bass
fishermen: Roland Martin, Bill
Dance and Jimmy Houston. (On
that same team is Gov. Rick
Scott.) The cornerstone of the program
is the fact that participating
fishermen are required to register
and document the trophy bass’
weight and live release if they
are over 8 pounds. Recognition
is divided into three categories:
lunker (8-9.9 pounds), trophy
(10-12.9 pounds) and hall of
fame (13 pounds or more). Hall
of fame bass must be certified by
the FWC, and a genetic sample
must be provided. Research
collected will be used to better
3B
manage a large population of
trophy-size bass.
With the notable support
for the program, many related
companies have contributed a
very unusual amount of prize
money and awards. More details
on the awards, registration and
documentation can be obtained
on www.myfwc.com. (The FWC
registration site can be found
specifically at www.myfwc.
com/trophycatch.
Hunters should be reminded
of notable changes in the
application periods for limited
entry/quota hunts for the 201213 season. As a matter of fact,
no permits will be issued during
October. Limited entry and
quota hunt examples would
include antlerless deer, gators,
special hunts on public lands
and quotas on spring turkey,
muzzle-loading guns, quail,
wild hogs and others. Further
details on various permits and
application dates can be found
online at www.myfwc.com/

Tornadoes celebrate
homecoming with 56-28 win
Bennie Ray Patterson, Jeff and Victoria Shiller, and their son, Kayden, are pictured at
one of Joshua Hodges’ previous haunted houses.
HAUNT
Continued from 1B
trick-or-treating. He remembered
Halloween being so much more
fun when he was a child.
“It was like they were missing
something, so we decided to do
a little three-room haunted house
in my carport,” Hodges said. “It
was very small the first year. It
was kind of a last-minute thing,
but we decided to go ahead with
it.
“The kids loved it. We loved
it.”
The event grew into eight
rooms the second year, and
Hodges suspects this year’s
edition will be eight rooms as
well, though he added, “We’ve
got some different tricks up our
sleeves this year.”
Hodges basically has the
ideas for the haunted house
and credited Adam Stevenson
for helping to bring those ideas
to life. Stevenson is the main
builder, Hodges said.
The day prior to the event,
Hodges and Stevenson will build
the shell of the haunted house.
Anywhere from 10 to 15 people
help decorate it the morning of
the event. Hodges said 20 to 30
people will participate in the
open haunted house in some
capacity, whether it’s dressing
up and scaring people or being
one of the guides.
Neighbors have been very
supportive of the event and will
get involved as well.
“They’re both understanding
and helpful,” Hodges said.
“They’re great neighbors.”
One person who was supportive
of the event during its first two
years was Hodges’ father, Mark.
Hodges said his father would
step up and do whatever needed
to be done, though Mark Hodges
wasn’t as passionate as his son
about Halloween.
“He was passionate about
people,” Joshua Hodges said.
“When he saw all the kids
having fun and the smiles, he
was there.”
Unfortunately, Mark Hodges
will be at this year’s haunted
house in spirit only as he
succumbed to a rare form of
leukemia earlier this year.
Joshua Hodges said his
father wasn’t feeling well and
was fatigued on a Sunday in
May. The following day, Mark
Hodges went to Dr. Carl Eason,
who ordered blood work to be
done. Mark Hodges went to
Shands UF and was diagnosed
with leukemia that same day.
Two days later, Mark Hodges
began receiving chemotherapy.
“He had a rare type of
leukemia with a 90-percent
(recovery) success rate,” Joshua
Hodges said. “Unfortunately, he
was not in that 90 percent.”
Mark Hodges went from
being diagnosed with leukemia
on a Monday to passing away on
the following Sunday (May 13)
at the age of 55. It was quick,
but Joshua Hodges said at least
he was not put in the position
of having to regret not spending
enough time with his father. He
made it a point when he wasn’t
working to eat lunch with his
father and said he spent time
visiting with his father four out
of every five weekends.
What Joshua Hodges will
always remember about his
father are the sense of humor
he displayed around his family
and his humble, helpful nature.
In fact, Joshua Hodges said the
family joked that Mark Hodges
simply couldn’t say no to
anyone.
“If you needed anything in
the world, he would be there,”
Joshua Hodges said. “All you’d
have to do is tell him you needed
help, and he would do it.”
Joshua said his father loved his
church home at Trinity Baptist
in Keystone Heights and would
help out however he could there
as well.
“If the floor needed sweeping,
he would do it,” Joshua Hodges
said. “If the trash needed taking
out, he would do it. If people
needed to be greeted, he would
do it.
“Whatever he could do to
help. He was the ideal servant.
There was no job too big or too
small. He had no pride.”
Joshua Hodges said the
idea had been discussed about
accepting donations at the
haunted houses to support a
charity when his father was still
alive. With his Mark Hodges’
passing, Joshua said it was a
no-brainer to make that charity
the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society.
The previous two haunted
houses have entertained people
of all ages, Joshua Hodges said,
from children who are 5 to 6
years old to adults of retirement
age. Sometimes, the frights
affect the older visitors more
than the children.
“Some of the most scared
people I’ve seen have been adults
who I guess underestimated us,”
Hodges said with a grin.
Whether you actually get
scared or not, it’s all about
having a good time.
“As long as it’s fun, and
everyone’s having a good time,
then I’m fine, even if no one’s
scared,” Hodges said.
To get to the haunted house,
take the first right (Myrtle
Street) past Domino’s as you’re
traveling west on S.R. 100, and
keep an ear open.
“I promise you, you will hear
it before you see it,” Hodges
said.”
The Myrtle Street Massacre is
scheduled to run until 9:30 p.m.,
though Hodges said the attraction
will continue to operate as long
as there are people waiting in
line.

Lyndell Hampton made his
last homecoming game special,
rushing for two touchdowns and
scoring another on a pick-six
in Bradford’s 56-28 win over
District 4-4A opponent Weeki
Wachee on Oct. 19.
Hampton rushed for 134 yards
on 14 carries as the Tornadoes
(5-2) improved to 3-1 in the
district.
“It was real special because
it’s my last year, my last
homecoming,” Hampton said. “I
just went out with a bang.”
It was by no means a perfect
game, with head coach Steve
Reynolds calling it a “sloppy”
performance. Bradford was
penalized 14 times for 125 yards,
with three penalties negating
touchdowns.
Those penalties prevented
wide receiver Kenny Dinkins
from having an even greater
game than he did. He caught
six passes for 178 yards and
a touchdown, and returned a
kickoff 93 yards for another
score. Dinkins, however, had a
25-yard touchdown reception
and an 80-yard punt return for a
touchdown wiped out by yellow
flags.
“We’ve got to clean up a lot of
things,” Reynolds said. “We’ve
got to fix some alignment issues.
Maybe I just need to sit down,
bring out the rule book and read
it to them in depth.”
Still, the game was never really
in doubt against an opponent
that is playing its first year at the
varsity level. Bradford outgained
Weeki Wachee 482 to 242,
scored the game’s first 20 points
and led by 36-14 at the half.
Weeki Wachee (1-6, 0-5) has
now lost six games in a row by
an average margin of 32 points.
Quarterback Jacob Luke (7-of18, 193 yards) put the Tornadoes
in scoring position on the game’s
opening drive, completing a
57-yard pass to Dinkins to the
Weeki Wachee 15. That led to an
eventual 7-yard touchdown run
by Hampton, though the PAT
was no good.
Bradford’s defense forced the
Hornets to go three and out on
their first series, then had the
next score on Weeki Wachee’s
second possession. Dominic
Mitchell broke up a pass in the
backfield before Cody Bias
dropped a Hornets running back
for a 3-yard loss. Don Jeffers then
intercepted a pass, returning it 35
yards for a touchdown with 4:19
remaining in the first quarter.
Bradford missed the PAT again,
but led 12-0.
The next time Bradford’s
offense touched the ball, the
result was a 72-yard touchdown
drive that featured a 22-yard
run by Tra’von Thomas and a
32-yard scoring reception by
Dinkins. The Tornadoes went for
two following the touchdown,
with Hampton’s successful run
putting them up 20-0 at the 11:51
mark of the second quarter.
A 48-yard pass play moved
the Hornets across midfield for
the first time, giving them a
first down at the Bradford 16.
That led to an eventual 10-yard
touchdown run by Jacob Cimino
to pull Weeki Wachee within 207.
Bradford responded with a
73-yard scoring drive. Dinkins
had 33 of those yards on a
reception that converted a thirdand-15 play. The Tornadoes later
faced third-and-14, but a holding
penalty on the Hornets resulted
in a first down at the Weeki
Wachee 32. Running back B.J.
McNeal scored from there, with
Hampton adding a run on the
two-point conversion for a 28-7
lead.

admitted
he
wasn’t sure he could take the

“I was tired,” the two-way
player said, “but I gave 110
percent. I gave what I had to.”
McNeal had a successful run
on the two-point conversion for
a 36-7 Bradford lead with 2:49

Weeki Wachee’s Xavier Jones
put his team on the board when

Bradford appeared to have
another score before the break,
but a penalty for an ineligible

to Dinkins.
Hampton may have been
tired when he made his firsthalf interception, but he was
obviously feeling refreshed at
the start of the second half. He

It took only a matter of seconds
for the Tornadoes to make it
a four-score game again as
Dinkins took the ensuing kickoff
93 yards for a touchdown at the
4:41 mark of the third quarter.
McNeal showed off his agility
on a reverse-the-field touchdown
run from 26 yards out, but a
holding penalty nullified the
score. The Tornadoes, however,
did make it into the end zone
when Thomas scored from 5
yards out with 6:50 left in the
game. Luke’s pass to McNeal on
the two-point play put Bradford
up 56-21.
The Hornets moved the ball
with ease on defensive backups,
averaging 9 yards per play on
an eight-play, 73-yard drive that
was capped by Tinch’s 3-yard
touchdown pass to Hiram Matos
as time expired. Tinch’s PAT
capped the scoring at 56-28.
Bradford finished the game
with 289 yards on the ground,
with McNeal rushing for 90 yards
on 10 carries, while Thomas had
42 yards on six carries.

G A I N E S V I L L E — Wa l t e r
Harvey Sharron, Jr., retired Vice
President for Development at
Santa Fe College and a pioneering
national advocate for community
college resource development, died
peacefully, surrounded by family,
on Oct. 18, at Mayo Clinic Hospital
in Jacksonville. He was 72.
Mr. Sharron was born in
Graceville, the only son of a farmer,
Walter Harvey Sharron and his wife,
Lessie Toole Sharron. After earning
a degree from the University of
Florida, he married Sandra Warren,
his high school sweetheart, and set up
permanent residence in Gainesville.
He then attended the College of
Law at the University of Florida and
later earned a master’s degree in
education from the same institution.
He also completed advanced studies
at UF’s College of Education and at
Middle Tennessee State University
in Murfreesboro. Mr. Sharron was
a member of Florida Blue Key, Phi
Gamma Delta and Phi Alpha Theta
Society of Professional Historians
at the University of Florida.
He started his career in education
at the University of Florida,

as Assistant to Dean of Men and
Advisor to Fraternities.
In 1968, Mr. Sharron began his
work at Santa Fe College, where
he created the Office of Financial
Aid and became its first director.
He then established the Office for
Development, where he served
as the country’s first community
college director, dean and vice

than 40 years. He and his team
secured millions of dollars through
grants that were used to develop
many of the college’s signature
programs and also raised millions of
private dollars to establish endowed
scholarship
funds
providing
hundreds of student scholarships
each year in perpetuity.
Mr. Sharron’s efforts as executive
director of the Santa Fe College
Endowment
Corporation
and
Foundation were known nationally
and viewed as an ideal model for
community college foundations
throughout the country. Through his
vision and work with the foundation
board, he created more than five
education centers and multiple
programs with private funds for
Santa Fe, including the Andrews
Center in Starke, the Blount Center
in Gainesville, the E.L. Mathews
Historical Museum in Starke, the
Sharron Geological Field Station
in Newberry, the Lillian Stump
Building in Starke, the Spring Arts
House in Gainesville, the Davis
Center in Archer and the Watson
Center in Keystone Heights.

civic organizations and charities
and at the First Baptist Church of
Gainesville, where he was a member
for more than 50 years. He served
as a lieutenant governor of Kiwanis
and was a founding member and
president of Gator City Kiwanis
in Gainesville. He was a member
of the board of directors of the
Samaritan Center for North Florida.
He was also founding member of the
board of directors of both the United
Citizens Bank of Alachua County
and First National Bank of Bradford
County. He served on the board of
the North Florida Retirement Village
for 11 years and led as chairman of
the board for three years.
