STARKE — Some high profile projects were
completed in 2015, and there are already some to look
forward to in 2016, including a new Dairy Queen.
The most obvious example is the recently opened
Beef ‘O’ Brady’s restaurant. Built across from Bradford
High School on the site of the former armory, the pub
and restaurant opened to great interest, with patrons
parking in the surrounding streets in order to get their
first taste.
Based on the construction permit estimate, more
than half a million dollars was invested in the building.
Not far away another restaurant, Huddle House,
closed temporarily and reopened following
renovations, and the Verizon Wireless store across the
street has undergone an impressive facelift as well.
Permits have been pulled to begin the extensive
remodeling of multiple buildings at Pine Forest
Apartments on S.R. 100 (West Madison Street). The
county commission earlier this month provided bond
issuance approval to the Osceola County Housing
Finance Authority, which is providing more than
$1.09 million to finance substantial renovations at the
multifamily housing complex.
According to LaJuan Whittle in the city of Starke’s
building and zoning office, residents will be rotated
into temporary apartments while their own units
undergo an “Extreme Home Makeover.”
Starke lost a commercial establishment this year
when Badcock Furniture opened a new store south of
the city limits. This was another half-million-dollarplus project. Through a long-negotiated developer’s
agreement, the city commission is set to acquire
ownership of the old storefront on Walnut Street
downtown in exchange for extending sewer service to
the new site.
Although there is some difference of opinion on
how to proceed with the property and interest from a
local church in rehabilitating the dilapidated building,
there seems to be enough commissioners on the board
interested in tearing it down to make room for more
parking.
The only other new commercial construction

Instruction in law could keep kids on straight and narrow
BY MARK J. CRAWFORD
Telegraph Editor
STARKE — For all of the
instruction a student receives in
school, relatively little is taught about
the law or the consequences for
violating it. A new program aims to
change that.
Know the Law as it’s called is
law enforcement’s response to
some alarming statistics involving
Bradford County youth, according
to Sgt. Chris Bennett of the Bradford
County Sheriff’s Office.
Bennett, who has been assigned
to the sheriff’s office task force to
fight drugs for two years, told the
school board earlier this month
about research that shows a higher
percentage of teenage alcohol and
drug abuse than the rest of the state.
In searching for a solution that
addresses the problem before these
kids get in trouble and are arrested,
Bennett said they became aware of
an antidrug coalition in Dixie County
that has successfully managed to
reduce teen alcohol and drug abuse,
at least bringing it more in line with
the state average.
Bennett asked for the school
board’s support in bringing the Know
the Law program to Bradford County.
There is no cost for the school district
in offering the program, although it
does take some time away from other
instruction.
The sheriff’s office would choose
a period each semester to provide
the two-part course to middle and
high school students. The curriculum
emphasizes alcohol and drug laws
and the penalties associated with
breaking those laws. The course goes
deeper into the law as well, Bennett
said.
A sample pretest for middle
school students quizzes them on the
difference between a misdemeanor
and a felony, what constitutes assault
or battery, the consequences for
having alcohol on school property,
and the penalties for making threats
on social media or sending obscene
photos.
“The key is whether you’re a
parent, teacher, administrator or law
enforcement officer, our children are
our future, so we would love to try
to get that information to them prior
to them making a poor decision,”
Bennett said.
At the very least, they will be able
to make informed decisions, he said.
“It’s amazing how many of those
youth just aren’t informed,” Bennett
said. “Many of our youth, they don’t
get that education at home, and it’s

Head-on crash
kills driver
BY STEVE JACKSON
Managing Editor
HAMPTON — A fatal vehicle crash about
5:45 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 22, backed up traffic
for about two hours on U.S. 301 about eight
miles south of Starke.
In a report released two days after the
accident, the Florida Highway Patrol named
the man killed as Eliazar A. Gomez, 52. The
FHP did not disclose his hometown.
According to the FHP, Gomez was traveling
north alone on U.S. 301 near 89th Street in the
Hampton area. He apparently lost control of
his 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Track for some
unknown reason. The vehicle crossed the
center median into the southbound lanes of
301 and collided head on with a semitrailer.
Gomez was pronounced dead on the scene.
The driver of the semi was Gregory Woodrow
Brigham Jr., 43, of Ocala who was taken to
UF Health Shands Hosptial in Gainesville.
Making history with honors
There’s a first time for everything and everyone deserves a second
chance. Clichés for sure, but some do make the best of their second
chances — and some even make history doing so. Lyndsey Baker
did when she became the first person in Bradford County to earn
a GED diploma with honors. David Harris, director of the BradfordUnion Technical Center, recognized Baker before the school board
Dec. 14, indicating that the achievement was even more impressive
given that the state made the pursuit of a high school equivalency
diploma more rigorous in 2014. At the same time, those who meet
and exceed the new, tougher standards are eligible for the honors
designation. Baker received a standing ovation from the school
board members, administrators and members of the public present.
Harris continued his praise, saying that Baker is currently continuing
her education as a student at Santa Fe College, which brought
another round of applause. (L-R) Harris and Baker are pictured with
instructor Linda Rudoi. Harris said Rudoi instructs both daytime and
nighttime adult education students, giving credit to the hardworking
staff members at the technical center for their role in student
success. Photo: Mark J. Crawford.

A developer has approached the
city about constructing a Dairy
Queen across from McDonalds,
although only a small drawing
depicting an aerial view of the
building and parking lot was
supposedly all that had been

According to City Manager
Tom Ernharth, acquisition of the
property has been complicated
by the death of Dr. Edward
Truppman of Aventura last
September, who owned the
property that makes up the
Bradford Square Shopping
Center.
Ernhart also said a new Napa
auto parts store could be in the
shopping center’s future.
While there was some
commercial expansion, there
were no new houses constructed
in the city of Starke in 2015.

to the permit report, two just

had an estimated worth of
$300,000 or above.
Overall, however, permits for
new houses dropped by a third in
2015. There were 39 new mobile
homes installed — two more than
last year — and 16 replacements.
According to the records
currently logged on the county
property appraiser’s website,
property sales in the county
totaled more than $26 million
from Jan. 5 through Nov. 16.
The largest transaction was the
nearly $3.8 million paid for the

STARKE
—
Updated
information on a proposed
railroad overpass in Starke
is the focus of a third public
information meeting by Florida
Department of Transportation
planned for Jan. 4 at the Bradford
County Fairgrounds, 2300 N.
Temple Ave.
An open house is scheduled
from 4:30 until 6:30 p.m. when
a presentation will be made
followed by public comments.
FDOT has been studying
an overpass for the past year
which will improve emergency
response times and allow traffic
to flow more freely. With 29
trains traveling through the city
each day, emergency vehicles and
other traffic experience frequent
delays. Train traffic is expected
to increase in the future, so the
goal of the study is to identify
a suitable location for a railroad
overpass in Starke.
Two
locations
under
consideration are along the
existing State Road 100 or using
144th Avenue just south of
Starke.
The S.R. 100 concept would
build a bridge from Adams
Street, just east of U.S. 301, to
and begin the program.
Superintendent
Chad
Farnsworth said they would try
to offer the content in courses
where a connection could be
made with the students’ other
studies.
“Kind of knowing the
consequences that could arise
from some of their actions is
definitively
a
preventative,
proactive measure,” he said.

something we think as a sheriff’s
office that we can help the
community provide.”
Having earned the support of
the school board, the sheriff’s
office will consult with the
superintendent about the best
time to get into the classrooms
depending on the location
selected. Right of way acquisition
would begin in 2018.

conducted without regard to
race, color, national origin, age,
sex, religion, disability or family
status. For more information,

More than 400 people attended Starke Elementary School’s Winter Reading Wonderland event on Dec. 15. Families were in for a treat when community members and teachers
put reading on display. Leaders in the community read winter-themed books to rotating groups of children. Parents had the opportunity to make and take activities for their kids
to use to help them strengthen reading skills. Student artwork was on display and students participated in song performances as dinner was served. At the end of the evening
families and children were entered into a drawing to win a plethora of learning games and books. This event was funded by Title I and a grant received by the Bradford County
Education Foundation. Submitted by Lynn Woods.

eggplant. Sort of.
Eggplants are actually fruits,
not vegetables. Florida eggplants
are currently in season and ready
to be used in a variety of recipes.
They are a great way to add
dietary fiber, potassium, folate
and vitamin K to your diet.
This purple powerhouse is also
a great vegetarian substitute for
meatless main dishes.

What to plant in January
Wildlife
calendar
January
Do not be fooled by this year’s unseasonably
warm temperatures. Even though temperatures
can fluctuate this time of year, it’s still better to
play it safe by choosing cold tolerant plants.
Annuals that can be planted now include
dianthus, flowering cabbage and kale, ranunculus,
petunias, violas and snapdragon. For March
flowers, plant delphinium, digitalis
(foxglove), and larkspur in January or
February.
Now is a good time to plant bulbs like
African lily (Agapanthus), calla, crinum,
daylily and Gloriosa lily. Provide a
layer of mulch for protection from cold
temperatures. Vegetables to plant now
include broccoli, cabbage, leeks, potatoes,
radish and turnips.
Lettuce are one of the first cool season
vegetable to go to flower if we get a few days of
really warm weather. Once the plant begins this
process (bolting), harvest the leaves as soon as
possible because they will be increasingly bitter
over time.
What to do in January
Wait until March to plant into the landscape the
poinsettia you were given at Christmas. Be ready
to cold protect tender plants to minimize damage.
Now is the time to purchase and plant bare root
fruit trees like pears and plums. For citrus, harvest
ripe fruit before a freeze if temperatures are going
to drop below 28 degrees for at least four hours. If
fruit are not ripe, leave them on the tree because
citrus will not ripen once picked. Water well 24
hours before a freeze.

Did you know?
Across much of the U.S., the tree
swallow is the hardiest swallow species.
It returns early in spring, leaves late in fall, and
winters in the southern U.S.
According to Audubon’s climate model, tree
swallows will soon be wintering farther north
and farther inland. The model predicts a 56
percent loss of current winter range, with some
potential expansion during that season, but with
some currently favorable areas along and near the
Gulf Coast forecast to become less available for
wintering tree swallows.
A similar pattern is in store for summer: a
61 percent loss of current range, with the range
drifting northward. Any northward spread will
require nest sites: standing dead trees or humansupplied bird boxes.
