Many people Bernadette Vaz's age would be content to sit back and take it easy, but the eighty-eight-year-old Spring Hill resident loves to get her hands dirty and tend her garden. Benedita (Bernadette) spends at least an hour-and-a-half every day from 7:30 a.m. until almost 10:00 a.m. pruning, planting, watering and fertilizing the more than sixty species of plants, shrubs and trees in her yard. She even cuts her own grass on her riding mower.

Nikki LaRiviere picks up first win as Central Volleyball Coach ANDY VILLAMARZO Photography by CHERYL CLANTON

BROOKSVILLE- The last time Central’s varsity volleyball team won a game was back on October 1st of 2015.

Fast forward to this season and the Bears are finally back in the win column. It was quite a bit of time from when Central won a match and Bears coach Nikki LaRiviere has endured a tough campaign, but picking up a 3-1 win versus Hernando Christian Academy a week and half ago has made the program optimistic about a potential turnaround sooner rather than later.

Joined by her husband, Derek, who is an assistant at Central, the Bears coaching staff has seen plenty of downs but the victory means the world to a program that hasn’t seen a win in over three years.

"Derek (LaRiviere) and I took over this program in May. We decided then that it was going to be a long road ahead of us and we were set on making an impact," LaRiviere said. "The events that led to us winning our first game included a lot of hard work, more dedication from the players than has ever been asked before, and a lot of support INDEX

Coach Nikki LaRiviere speaks to her team.

from our student body."

The victory has meant the most to Central’s seniors on the team, as many of the players haven’t experienced a win during their time at the school. LaRiviere stated that for this particular senior class, the win was a huge accomplishment.

"Breaking this losing streak was important for our seniors, but I think this means a lot for our juniors and sophomores, even the

ones on junior varsity, so that they can see that there is a light ahead of this tunnel, whereas the girls before them sometimes lacked hope," LaRiviere added.

Though the remainder of the regular season is going to be a tough stretch for Central, the Bears have expectations of competing throughout the rest of the 2018 campaign.

Hopeville became Port Richey opeville was the early name of the settlement that would eventually become Port Richey. According to Pasco County Historian Frances Clark Mallett, Hopeville was named for members of the prominent Hernando County family the Hopes.

David and Henry Hope were involved in the creation of Hopeville near the salt springs. Ms. Mallet stated that according to oral accounts the name Hopeville dated back to the 1850s. It only appears on a few maps around the time that there was a post office at Hopeville.

Henry Hope Sr. was born in 1810 and died in 1869. He lived on 160 acres in the Spring Lake area purchased from his father-in-law Michael Garrison. The land was the result of an Armed Occupation Act grant of land. Henry and his brother David voted in Benton County in the 1845 election (Hernando was briefly renamed Benton County 18441850). Henry, his wife, and brother David are listed on the 1850 census in Benton County.

David Hope was born in 1819 and died in 1879.

David was appointed the Postmaster of Fort Taylor in 1854. Fort Taylor was a Third Seminole War Fort and also refers to the town that was created near the fort. David's plantation was west of Brooksville towards Bayport and was burned

by Union soldiers in July 1864 in the Brooksville Raid.

Excerpt from Rev. Capt. Leroy G. Lesley: Tampa's Fighting Parson

by Spessard Stone "In December 1863, he (Lesley) and his neighbor David Hope, were engaged in the production of salt, twenty-five miles southwest of Brooksville.

"Hope, Leslie & Ryals" advertised salt for $10 per bushel and that they’d give $5.00 per bushel for corn, or give one bushel of salt for two of corn."

These salt works were located near Hopeville.

HCSO ALERT

Update on sentencing of flooring store owner George Carr Recently, George Carr W/M DOB/07-21-1965 was sentenced to 20 years in the Department of Corrections, followed by 10 years on Probation.

Detectives advise there were 67 victims in Hernando County, 34 of which were willing to participate in the trial.

Hernando County Sheriff's detectives worked closely with the State Attorney's Office throughout this case, in an effort to ensure Carr received a sentence that was appropriate for the crimes he committed against Hernando County residents.

We would like to thank the State Attorney's Office for their diligence is prosecuting this case.

Original Information (0616-16) On 05-24-16, we reported (via media release) that our Economic Crimes Unit was conducting an investigation into reported activities being conducted by a "local flooring company."

At that time, our detectives had received preliminary information regarding representatives from the "local flooring company" engaging in several

Sept. 28- Oct. 4, 2018

contracts to install flooring, along with other contractor services. On numerous occasions, the jobs had reportedly been abandoned, without the work being completed.

At the time of the media release, we did not name the "local flooring company" as detectives had not completed their investigation.

As a result of the media release, numerous victims came forward to report to detectives that they had been victimized

by Mr. George Carr, owner of Georgie's Flooring.

The investigation continued and a warrant was constructed, approved, and served for Carr's arrest.

Carr was taken into custody at his home in Spring Hill on 06-15-16 just before 6 p.m.

George Carr W/M DOB/0721-1965 was charged with one count of Aggravated Grand Theft. This charge includes 29 of the 48 cases that detectives are currently investigating involving Carr.

Of the 29 cases that Carr has been charged with at this time, monetary losses to customers exceeds $186,000.

Carr is being held on $186,000 bond.

Additional charges may be forthcoming.

Veteran's Special Forces ring recovered

by Utilities Department

By LISA MACNEIL HERNANDO SUN WRITER

Army Special Forces veteran, Lieutenant Colonel David Keith, had a ring made in Thailand in 1971. From a solid block of 18 karat gold, the ring originally had a black star sapphire stone set in the center. "(The sapphire) proved to be soft, split, and fell out," Keith recalled as he told the story of the ring and how he lost it at the Board of County Commissioners meeting on September 25, 2018.

The new stone is jade, that he had carved in Mexico.

Keith described the day nearly two years ago when he lost his ring, describing it as a "close encounter with a commode," and that his hand automatically pressed the flush handle, as he watched the ring disappear. "It was a dark date in history as far as I’m concerned."

"When I got called about my ring, I was dumbfounded and flabbergasted."

Hernando County Utilities Director Gordon Onderdonk described finding the ring as "nothing short

of a miracle," before introducing HCUD staff members Adam Seeman and Josh Walker who found the ring during rehab maintenance at the Seven Hills lift station.

Onderdonk described the lift station as large, servicing about 1,700 homes. All the water leaving those homes wind up in the lift station, where it is later pumped to the water treatment facility. Seeman and Walker were vacuuming out an area of the lift station when they saw a shiny object on a pump, which turned out to be a ring bearing

the inscription, "Army Special Forces."

Public Information Manager Virginia Singer followed up by taking the ring to be thoroughly cleaned, then to a jeweler to find any markings that could possibly point to the owner.

HCUD Foreman Darrell Rose noticed a vehicle bearing a Purple Heart license plate in a driveway right next to the lift station, and spoke with Keith and his wife in person, who confirmed the loss of the ring.

"On behalf of the actions of these outstanding employees,

Hernando County Utilities, Hernando County Government, with sincere appreciation for your service, Mr. Keith, we’re honored to return this ring back to you," Gordon Onderdonk said as he presented the ring to Keith.

"There are no words to describe how I’m feeling right now... Hernando is a good county for Vets."

Mr. Keith served in the U.S. Army from 1965-1980. He was awarded the Purple Heart on March 9,1969.

Inmate accused of cashing fake check at county jail DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A Florida inmate is accused of cashing a fake county department of corrections check for $350 that misspelled the county's name.

The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports 34-yearold Ryan Athey was charged Thursday with passing a counterfeit bank bill and grand theft. A Volusia County Sheriff's Office report says Athey submitted a check from the "County of Voulisa" this month and spent the cash at the jail commissary.

It says Athey was serving time at the county jail on charges including driving with a suspended license. Deputies say the check matches others used at a convenience store, and they have a suspect they believe is distributing them.

Deputies say Athey has admitted to knowing the check was a fake. Athey is in jail custody. It's unclear if he has a lawyer. ___ Information from: Daytona Beach (Fla.) News-Journal, http:// www.news-journalonline.com

the river, rather than parking and lingering on the riverbanks. A $50 late fee is imposed if a kayak is not returned at the end of 4 hours.

Boating in Florida has employed a new “Alcohol Wand” to detect the smuggling of alcohol onto the river. The wand, similar in size and shape to a flashlight, provides an extra layer of detection, such has finding colorless alcohol in a water bottle.

Aghajanian also presented a non-disposable policy, which will prohibit items like plastic bottles and wrappers, beginning in Summer 2019.

Final Contract Recap: • Franchise fee for the Rogers Park takeout point is $2600 per month • Maximum of 400 kayaks or non-motorized vehicles per day may be extracted from Rogers Park • Boating in Florida must enter into a two year agreement with the Sheriff’s Office to fund a year round marine deputy.

Former hospital chain to pay $260M to settle charges, claims WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Florida-based hospital chain will pay more than $260 million to resolve allegations of false billing and kickbacks.

The U.S. Department of Justice said in a news release Tuesday Health Management Associates was accused of knowingly billing government health care programs for inpatient services that should have been billed as outpatient or observation services. The chain was also accused of paying physicians in return for referrals.

The settlement also resolves claims that an HMA facility in Mississippi leased space to a local physician, but required the physician to pay rent for only half of the space for patient referrals.

Also, an HMA subsidiary agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit health care fraud for instituting a plan to improperly increase overall emergency department inpatient admissions at its hospitals.

As I was pulling up behind the defendant and as I began to call out a traffic stop and activate my lights the subject rode down Leonard Street at a high rate of speed. I activated my siren at which point the subject got off his bicycle near 809 Leonard Street and began to run a trail behind this residence which lead into the woods. I used verbal commands towards the subject to identify myself, the commands I used where " Sheriff's Office stop. Show me your hands; and Sheriff's Office stop running." The defendant continued to run and I followed him into a wooded area at which point the defendant fell, I told the defendant, "Sheriff's Office do not move and show me your hands." At this point the defendant got up and ran further into the woods. I was able to grab onto his shirt and hold him until additional units arrived on scene.

The Defendant was walked back to my marked patrol vehicle and he was detained and searched for any illegal narcotics or weapons.

A small, brown, paper towel was found in the subject's back, left, pants pocket. When opened up a wrapped plastic bag with a white crystal-like substance was located.

The crystal-like substance was tested with Narco test kit 7604 which tested positive for cocaine.

The small plastic bag had several small white crystal-like pieces in it but it was to light to weigh. In The front, left, pants pocket of the defendant, a small plastic bottle with black residue was located along with a small metal rod which had black residue on it as well. Both items were tested with Narco 7604 for cocaine, and both items tested positive.

Before I questioned the defendant I immediately read him his Miranda warning via my agency issued Miranda card. The defendant advised he wanted to talk. I asked why he ran and he advised he was high at the moment from the small amount of cocaine he had previously smoked. The remnants, a crystal-like substance, were found in a small plastic bag by me.

The defendant is being charged with possession of cocaine, two accounts of possession of paraphernalia and one account of resisting arrest without violence.

The defendant will have a felony court date of 10-16-18 in courtroom E at 0900hrs. Per the bond sched-

ule the defendants total bond is $8,000. The defendant was transported to the Hernando County Jail without incident.

PEREIRA, HOLLY LYNN YOB: 1974 CHARGES: FALSE REPORT-LAW ENFORCE AGNCY Arrested at: DATE TIME ADDRESS Arrest Summary: On 9/22/18 I responded to 19455 Fort Dade Avenue, Brooksville, Florida in reference to a violation of a temporary injunction for protection against domestic violence (INJ-2018-1914DR) with a hearing date on 9/27/18. Per the temporary injunction, respondent Jose Pereira is to have no contact with his wife, Holly Pereira, the petitioner and defendant. The aforementioned injunction was modified as served on 9/22/18 by Operator 2 under case number 18-30162. This modification report also advised Jose stated Holly would contact the Sheriff's Office and say that he is attempting to contact her. The deputy that took that report noted that Jose did allow the deputy to look through his phone and ensure that there was no cell service and that phone calls or text messages could not be sent.

Upon arrival at the residence contact was made with defendant Holly. Holly advised that she had numerous text messages from the respondent after the injunction had been served. The first text message was sent at approximately 1710 hours. Holly advised that due to the injunction being in place she has since blocked his phone number and had not responded back to any messages. Holly stated that Jose will lie and say that the phone he has in his possession does not have service but it indeed does, per Holly. Holly has had ongoing issues with her husband Jose. Holly contacted her phone company and they advised her that Jose's phone does have service. Holly recorded her phone conversation with the phone company, who advised that Jose's phone has service active.

Holly provided me with the text messages as well as the phone number for Jose of 352-426-3770.

Holly completed a sworn written statement attesting to the fact that Jose has been contacting her after the injunction had been served.

While at the residence contact was made inside with homeowner Virginia Fritz. Virginia stated that Holly does not have a bedroom and sleeps on a couch in the living room. I was able to immediately observe the couch in the living room due to it being a common area. Virginia completed a written statement and gave deputies written consent to search the common area of her residence. I was immediately able to observe a black in color cell phone to be sitting on a dresser in the area Virginia advised belonged to Holly.

Virginia stated that this dresser and its contents belong to Holly. The phone appeared to be powered off.

Virginia stated that this was not her cell phone and that she had her own phone.

I then responded back outside of the residence and confirmed with Holly that she does sleep on the couch in the living room. Holly

advised that items immediately in that area belong to her. I then displayed the phone I found near her belongings, to her. Holly was asked if she owned this phone and she declined ownership. I asked Holly if I could power the phone on and Holly stated that I could and again advised that she did not own the phone. I then powered the phone on and I did not unlock it. The phone was on the lock screen during this portion of my investigation. I then called the phone number Holly provided to me which she advised was Jose's phone number. The phone screen became illuminated and began to ring as if a call was incoming. I utilized my personal cell phone to call the phone but blocked my personal phone number. The phone screen displayed a "private number" on it as it received the incoming call.

Holly was then read her Miranda Warning via my agency issued Miranda Warning Card and advised that she did wish to waive her rights and speak with me. Holly stated that she is still in love with Jose and wanted him to come back home. Holly began to state that she did not want him to go to jail. Holly was asked if she sent the text messages from this phone in question to her own other cell phone and admitted that she did. Holly then gave deputies written consent to look at the messaging application on the cell phone. I then observed all of the text messages that Holly alleged were from Jose. The text messages had the same date and time stamp as the received messages on Holly's phone. Holly advised that she did send these text messages to herself from this phone. Holly also stated that after the recent court hearing she became in possession of this phone and activated it on the date of the incident. Holly completed a written statement stated that she was not truthful with the initial information she provided to deputies.

Holly was placed into custody for providing false information to a law enforcement officer. Holly was transported to the Hernando County Jail without incident and was given a $1,000 bond.

Holly was given a court date of 10/19/2018 at 0900 hours in Courtroom C of the Hernando County Courthouse.

Concern about Marine Area Plan:

After the Consent Agenda was approved, Danielle Underwood briefed commissioners on the busing situation for the school district. She remarked that kids are having to walk from Anderson Snow all the way to Powell Middle School, crossing Spring Hill Drive and walking along Barclay. "We really need to come together as a whole and help them," she said. "We’re going to end up with some tragedies."

The school district is saying a traffic study needs to be done in order to find hazardous conditions.

Chairman Champion noted that the Powell Rd sidewalk project is supposed to start any day and encouraged citizens to attend MPO meetings.

Holcomb remarked in regards to the Anderson Snow situation, that in conversation with the transportation department, they were standing behind some law that said that road is okay to walk along because there’s enough space between the road and the drainage retention area.

County Attorney Garth Coller stated, the planning of the roads as these board members will tell you, goes decades out. The problems we’re having with schools and kids walking is based on a change in school board policy… They decided that they wouldn’t bus all school children, they had a limit of (within) two miles. Now we have roads that were planned decades ahead not conducive for children walking to school.

School District Superintendent will be asked to update them on the 2 mile rule at the Sept. 25 meeting.

Mr. Scott Herring gave an update and said that the extension of California St. still moving forward. There will be additional opportunities for public comment on both California St and Fort Dade Ave alignments.

CORRESPONDENCE TO NOTE: Notification from City of Brooksville on a public hearing regarding a voluntary annexation ordinance. The property in question is 6.20 acres immediately east-southeast of the intersection of US-41 and Wiscon.

Currently the parcel is undeveloped raw land.

Alliant realty intends to develop a retail center with 7000 SF of retail space available. The business occupants would be a coffee shop, hair cuttery and cell store. The ordinance was passed 5-0.

This item was followed by the associated rezoning for the .79 acre parcel: RES-2018-123 : Rezoning Petition Submitted by Alliant Partners Realty LLC (H1820) The rezoning resolution passed 5-0 with several unmodified performance conditions.

The third item on the agenda was the Spring Center rezoning, which also passed 5-0: RES-2018-124 : Rezoning Petition Submitted by TTG Properties Inc. (H1814). See: https://www.hernandosun.com/article/ hernando-commission-approves-spring-centerproperty-rezoning-modifications (Published 9/14/18)

Community member stated that there is a lack of input by largest stakeholders coastal residents. The plan favors commercial fishing and tourism. Requests additional meeting at the Coast Guard Auxiliary to inform constituents and additional time to review the plan.

Board Staff Response: Dep. County Administrator Rogers said organizers are moving forward to have an additional workshop to get some comments in.

There will be a workshop between late October and November with UF and Port Authority. Board will see the comp plan amendment in the near future but not the plan approval at this time.

Comm. Dukes remarked that they have had meetings in regard to this at the Port Authority but attendance was low, so next time they should have the meeting at the Coast Guard Auxiliary Building.

Road alignments for CEMEX expansion: Citizen representing Neighbors against mining expressed concern on road alignments and asked for meeting on roads impacted.

Board Staff Responses:

Withlacoochee River Water Supply Authority A citizen stated that the Withlacoochee River Water Supply Authority is an extra layer of government that we don’t need.

Board Staff Responses: This subject was discussed later in the meeting.

Green Swamp and Withlacoochee River Chester Bradshaw requested a workshop or additional opportunity to discuss the historic overflow of the Green Swamp- which he states was through the Richloam Wildlife Management Area.

Need to understand the historic overflow pattern in order to fix the flooding problem in Ridge Manor.

GARI should do a historical study on the water flow to tell us what could and should be there. "This is a regional concern when you address the Green Swamp Watershed because it affects several rivers. It affects Lake County and Polk County."

Rick Fraker of Ridge Manor Estates: Refuted comments made by SWFWMD engineer Dr. Mark Fulkerson in an article published by another media outlet. Dr. Fulkerson has criticized a study that suggests allowing the Withlacoochee Watershed to overflow into the Hillsborough River Watershed where the two meet. Fraker states that documentation show that prior to Highways 54 and 98 were constructed, 80% of the water from the Green Swamp flowed down the Hillsborough River.

Poor planning and current blockages of debris and fill over the decades have greatly reduced the natural flow of water down the Hillsborough River. Municipalities in Hillsborough have spent millions trying to meet the SWFWMD mandates without even the benefit of the water from the Green Swamp. While we’re threatened with flood waters, Hillsborough is contemplating filling their aquifer with grey water.

Fraker states that the

ANIMAL SERVICES A/C ISSUE DISCUSSED

Green Swamp has become an ecological disaster in the past 50 years plus that SWFWMD has overseen its mismanagement.

Bruce Kaval of Ridge Manor: Also remarked that the majority of water historically drained down the Hillsborough River, but today it now flows down the Withlacoochee which in turn affects the flooding of the river. SWFWMD is very proud of the 6 days it takes to drain the swamp and that in turn is affecting the quality of the water. When we say ‘mud to flood’ it truly is true. We would love to have some input and a meeting with the county and SWFWMD. Board Responses: Referred to SWFWMD in attendance. Brian Armstrong Exec. Director of SWFWMD came to the podium: "We just spent $2.5 million on a study of the Withlacoochee River looking at the 17 facts (brought to them by citizens)... We went out and collectively met with the citizenry and asked them - ‘what do you want to look at? What do you think is causing this impact and what do you think the changes will be?’

We investigated individually each one of them.

Now we did use a model because we have technology that we didn’t back in the 30’s. I don’t make light of that because it is significant to spend $2.5 million on this effort. So we’re not willing to do it again. It’s not just the model. Mark (Fulkerson) walked every mile of that watershed and surveyed it by hand. We have data that we collect at multiple points. And about the model itself- we use that model for our Tsala Apopka floodplain mapping. We aren’t arrogant, we don’t think we did everything right. So we hire third party scientists to evaluate our models and our maps and we get back their review which are favorable so at this point the district is not going to invest in another study."

County Attorney Garth Coller questioned if SWFWMD was aware of the issues Mr. Bradshaw brought up prior to the study.

"We were and we do have all those documents because they were provided by Mr. Bradshaw.

Mark took all of those into consideration while evaluating his project," said Armstrong.

Hernando Beach Boat Ramp Parking Lot When parking is tight, people park all over causing damage to drainage areas.

Before Citizen’s Comments Commissioner Champion addressed the recent issue at Animal Services with the A/C being out. He remarked that he knew nothing about it until concerns were raised. Then the Deputy and County Administrator quickly addressed the issue. Hundreds of emails and phone calls poured in with regard to how the animals were treated after posts were made on social media about the matter.

County Administrator Len Sossamon stated, "We actually weren’t mistreating them. Going back six years ago, there was a problem with an animal being destroyed. At that time there were only fans available. Then we did put in air conditioning. The system failed and the parts are on order to do the replacement… Jeff (Jeff Rogers Dep. County Administrator) was very instrumental in contacting our Facilities Manager and they got portable AC units installed fairly quickly in order to make it more comfortable."

Chairman Champion stated, "The volunteers that were there decided to go to social media and all of that and I never got a single email from any of those people- anything saying ‘it’s been out two weeks or 10 days- do you think you can address it?’ You see how fast we addressed it when it was brought to our attention- there was a breakdown somewhere."

Commissioner Holcomb said that he visited the facility with James Terry and Terry suggested not replacing the entire unit since the portable units work well for the two smaller cat rooms in the center of the building.

Holcomb said he visited around 4:30pm on Saturday and he expected it to be hotter than it actually was.

Commissioner Mitten experienced the same when he visited the facility and remarked that their the staff and volunteers are all compassionate and caring individuals.

Commissioner Allocco said that Public Works will be investigating the drainage issues in the kennels.

Deputy Administrator Rogers stated that they evaluated the efficiency of the air conditioner and determined that it is oversized. Additionally, the staff veterinarian determined that there was no immediate concern for the health and welfare of the animals.

"We all know how passionate our veterinarian is.

She would have said something if these animals were in danger. I can tell you that," said Champion.

Paul Molle discussed the situation with the potential acquisition of lots to provide additional parking areas. The owner of the lots set the price much higher ($450,000) than property appraiser’s value so additional negotiations will need to take place.

A new parking area could also be a revenue generator for the county.

Molle warned that appraisals are not cheapanywhere from $2000$4000 to have an appraisal done.

Comm. Dukes said that he and the county administrator started working 5 years ago to expand that parking lot. They were working on this with the Blue Pelican Marina- at that time they were expecting RESTORE act money to start flowing, but layers of bureaucracy prevented the funding from coming through. Blue Pelican engineer walked away from it.

County engineer Brian Malmberg stated at the time it would take a year for permitting, a year for design and a year to build it. Money just wasn’t there.

Dep. County Administrator stated that there is

a boat ramp master plan that they’ve instituted to survey them all and look at a 5 year plan to do improvements and necessary maintenance and how they fund it. Almost complete and will come before the board.

Champion remarked,

"You know what people are sayinggo to Citrus or go to Pasco. They encourage people to leave our county and go elsewhere because their boat ramps are better."

Paul Molle stated he won’t let the taxpayers get ripped off for a parking lot. Chairman Champion agreed.

"It’s Mr. Shraut on the other end. He needs to understand that I wasn’t going to bring it before you at $450,000- you’d throw me out of here," said Molle.

County commission meeting run down Continued from page 4

Discussion on Participation in the Withlacoochee Regional Water Supply Authority contract. So it’s not necessarily something we imposed on them. They entered into a contract with us to purchase water and they’d like to change the provisions of that and we are trying to see if we can’t resolve that to each party’s mutual satisfaction," explained Owen.

"The importance of a water supply authority is when you look around the state- how many areas are dealing with water shortages? How many areas just to our south - the Tampa Bay area that spent years litigating over the last few drops of fresh inexpensive groundwater? Decades, millions of dollars, if not tens of millions of dollars… we want to avoid that in this area. The water supply authority is a mechanism by which you can ensure there are adequate supplies to meet your growing demands. If in the future there are projects- when we start to run out of fresh groundwater and the area needs to go to a more expensive water supply, you have a partnership with the water supply authority to have multiple local governments… spread those costs across a broader utility base and achieve economies of scale."

He stressed that this avoids the unknowns of litigation and enters into win win cooperative relationships.

Mr. Sonny Vergara is a resident of Hernando County since 1948 and formerly Executive Director of SWFWMD, St. Johns River WMD and Exec. Director of Peace River Water Supply Authority which consists of Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte and DeSoto Counties.

Vergara emphasized that the Water Supply Authority is not duplicative of SWFWMD in any way. Each of them have unique responsibilities which need to be monitored and regulated themselves- "but still they are different- they are very different."

He said that the growth of Florida has a tremendous impact on our water. Florida is the third most populated state and third fastest growing with 1000 people a day. There are over 100 million visitors every year. This means our water is in high demand.

In essence he said that joining with a select group of other counties in a water authority will allow an area to protect their water resources from the interest of others. He detailed the history of regional water wars.

"That’s why the Withlacoochee Regional Water Supply Authority exists," said Vergara. "It was created because of the interest in the Tampa Bay area.

Tampa Bay area is still interested. I was the lead negotiator for SWFWMD in the settlement of the water wars in Tampa "We’ve gotten a lot more out Bay. We spent $324 million of investment of the Water Management district in reof this agreement than we’ve put in…. Up to this point $35,000 structuring, rebuilding Tampa Bay water from the old West Coast Regional Water is our annual requirement from Supply Authority. They in turn invested another $1.3 billion."

Hernando County- we’ve gotten Soon Pinellas and Hillsborough counway more than that out of itties were eyeing water resources in Pasco that’s for sure. If you look at the and then Hernando County.

The limitations on water is serious next two (agenda) items- it will enough for the City of Tampa to be show that." considering the reuse of wastewater.

"That tells you that their long term water The following two items on the agenda supply needs are real. Polk County has were a grant for the county’s water conrecently created a regional water supply servation program and second a funding authority. They are in an argument with agreement for irrigation evaluation for the Peace River Water Supply Authority. homeowners.

It’s a huge battle that’s about to break Richard Owen Executive Director of the loose."

Withlacoochee Regional Water Supply With the information presented by Authority spoke to the board.

Vergara and Owen, the board seemed "What I would like to talk about is satisfied with their membership in the perceptions some of you may have that Withlacoochee Regional Water Supply we impose regulations or restrictions- we Authority and they went on to approve do not," asserted Owen. two agreements through the water "In reference to the situation with supply authority: first a grant for the Citrus County- we have a contract. We county’s water conservation program have a sales contract for water supply and second a funding agreement for to Citrus County. We’re negotiating that irrigation evaluation for homeowners.

Maureen Secora Asst. County Attorney was recently hired by the county from a water authority- so she was appropriately assigned the task of determining whether or not the county’s participation in the Withlacoochee Regional Water Supply Authority is mandatory.

Secora found that the county has been a member of this authority since 1977 through interlocal agreement and a county ordinance adopted in 1977. It’s a cooperative agreement authorized by statute. Hernando is currently a member along with Citrus, Marion and Sumter Counties.

Because it’s a cooperative voluntary arrangement through interlocal agreement, the statute does not require the board to be a member, it encourages the various counties to be members, Secora explained.

A restated/amended interlocal agreement was completed in 2014 and Secora stated that the interlocal agreement is silent as to withdraw from membership.

"What I was able to determine based on our legal research was that if the board wants to withdraw from the water supply authority, the only way to do it would be to terminate the interlocal agreement. You would also have to repeal your ordinance and that leaves open the question as to what happens to the various assets that the water supply authority actually owns and manages and operates," she said.

"I brought this up to be educated," said Chairman Champion. "Whether we need multiple layers of government.

SWFWMD is already huge- they already control everything. Do we need a second layer that puts more restrictions on us... " he continued.

"At least in my opinion- I don’t want Marion County telling us what to do here in Hernando County. I was really concerned when I saw what was going on with Citrus," said Champion. Later in the meeting, the Executive Director of the water authority clarified the situation with Citrus County.

Commissioner Mitten wished to know why Hernando County is a member in the first place and Sonny Vergara, former Water Authority Executive Director and SWFWMD Director, would speak about this later.

Champion stated that making a decision on membership is not urgent.

The issues that came up in that board meeting is Citrus County’s problems- not us- but we are part of that board.

Commissioner Allocco remarked,

This covers the Sept. 11, 2018 meeting. Stay tuned for the Sept. 25 meeting to be published next week.

FY 2018-19 Project Grant Agreement With Withlacoochee Regional Water Supply Authority for Local Government Water Conservation Funding Assistance Program This grant agreement will provide matching funds in the Fiscal Year 2019 budget to continue the development of a countywide water conservation and water resource protection program. The Utilities Department annually seeks funding assistance from the WRWSA for the continued expansion of its water conservation and water resource protection Program.

The Agreement stipulates that the WRWSA will provide 50% of the project costs, or $48,350 on a reimbursement basis into revenue account 441133711-3894713. This budget amount will require an expenditure of $96,700 from 4111-33711 various expense account by the Utilities Department. This amount is included in the FY19 recommended budget.

Passes 4-0 (Dukes Absent).

Major elements of the water conservation and water resource protection program include: County-wide user advisory committee (Groundwater Guardian Team); In-school education program (Springs Coast Environmental Education Center, Gulf Coast Academy of Science and Technology) Conservation Messaging Campaign Customer and Residents Incentive Programs and education pilot project.

Funding Agreement With Withlacoochee Regional Water Supply Authority for the Regional Irrigation Evaluation Program Phase 5 Gordon Onderdonk explained that this is a program in conjunction with the water authority where we do irrigation evaluations for homeowners upon request and make recommendations. Phase 5 funding will assist them in repairing heads, setting timers to save on their water costs.

Plagued by sandy soil with little water retention, Commissioner Allocco remarked that the Wellington area would be a place to focus efforts on.

Onderdonk said it’s a program for anyone in the county who is a high water user.

"We look at the high water users- at high water consumption and there is a certain threshold amount. For this person- maybe we’ll save some money on their utility bill - we’ll send them a letter that says - hey we noticed thiswe might be able to help you if you’re willing to participate in the program. It could be in Wellington or anywhere within the county," said Onderdonk.

When they met with the Wellington community, Onderdonk explained that they recommended some options to help them conserve water like smart irrigation type systems.

Commissioners and Deputy County Administrator Rogers commended Mr. Onderdonk on the outreach they’ve done in the Wellington area along with UF/IFAS. They say they’ve had a lot of positive feedback from residents.

Corporate Hangar Lease Agreement With Global Jetcare for Property Located on Technology Drive at Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport Real Property Supervisor Paul Molle filling in for Airport Operations Manager Kevin Daugherty presented this item to the board. The particular facility has been rented for the past 18 months by Global Jetcare Inc., an air ambulance company. The expiring lease contains an option to purchase at whatever current value is. They did not purchase the facility since they put their funds toward the purchase of Lear Jets for their business. They have decided not to purchase the property at this time. Under the old lease they were paying $9000 per month. With the new lease, there will be a 3% increase per year. The new lease will begin Jan. 2019 and run for 5 years.

It would also include right of first refusal to take on an adjacent 2 acre property. The lease payment would be $9270 per month. There would be a deposit of $9270.

Global JetCare made improvements to the facility and their rent was abated for three months to makeup for improvement/renovation costs which ended up at around $100,000.

Chairman Champion remarked, "My concern would be are they paying the going rate per square foot everybody else would pay. If they did then fine."

Molle stated, "The square footage would breakdown to about 37 cents per square foot. That takes into consideration the terminal and the hangar. I don’t know if you should be averaging in the apron and the hangars and the building itself - the terminal - I don’t know how to give you a real breakdown of it."

County Administrator Len Sossamon remarked prior to the lease, "They were looking to grow their fleet of air ambulances- at the time they had three, currently they have five: 4 Lear 36s and 1 Lear 35… When the county took this property, it was in the throws of some foreclosures. I think we actually acquired it for $1.2 million. If you lease it to someone for 6.5 years, collect $750,000 plus and still own the building that you paid $1.2 million for See JETCARE, Page 6

1- a change order for the design and installation of leachate equipment at the landfill for an amount of $96,085.00 Gordon Onderdonk explained that currently the leachate goes to the Glen Lakes treatment plant and it’s not a constant flow rate. They get slug loading that happens all at once- operators don’t know when it’s coming and how much is coming. This puts in the pumps and control systems to where they can normalize the flow. It will allow them to better meet water quality parameters at the plant- especially considering the state’s Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP).

2- Contract Award for Jenkins Creek Wingwall Repair to Daly & Zilch Citizen Jimmie Dendy showed a photo of the current damage to the wingwall for the Jenkins Creek culvert.

He remarked that the water goes over Shoal Line Blvd at this spot when it floods. He said that when the water goes back out- it does so very rapidly. There is a pipe that restricts the flow of water from the culvert- he asked that perhaps the pipe could be raised in order to prevent restriction in the water flow. Also when the water is too high, the kayak launch at Linda Pedersen becomes useless because you can’t get under the bridge.

Jeff Rogers said the pressure on the pipe could be causing the issue with the cracking concrete. Can look at access for kayakers.

HunTing

Toby Benoit is a best selling novelist and professional outdoorsman with thirty-five years of experience guiding and outfitting for big game all across America. Toby is a renowned archer and turkey hunting expert who manufactures custom game calls and is a regular judge at NWTF sanctioned turkey calling events across the Southeast.

Bowhunting by the Moon Thus far into the archery season, I’m hearing lots of great success stories, but as well I’m hearing more often that the heat and poor moon phase are making the hunting times more difficult. Trust me when I tell you that my own hunting has suffered from both. With the full moon lighting up the night and the terrific heat of the day, deer are highly incentivized to do the majority of their feeding and travelling once the sun goes down.

As far as the heat goes, I believe it has far less of an impact on the feeding patterns as does the phases of the moon. Patience and time will bring about some cooler weather, but the moon will continue its cycle regardless, so let’s focus on that. Here are three critical moon phase deer hunting tips that you can use for not only whitetail, but to improve your swine success as well.

Quarter moon rising in the early evening offers a pretty heavy feed just before dark. Deer are rhythmic pattern feeders and forage at varying levels of intensity up to five times per day regardless of sun or moonlight.

But, one of those feeding sessions always seems to be the primary, or most active when deer feed heavily and can be highly social while their bellies become full. This means that although an evening rising moon can place low priority on the daybreak feeding time, the intensity of the late evening is your best chance to connect.

Conversely, a quarter moon rising in the middle of the night will put it high in the sky at daybreak bringing the intensity of the primary feeding period to the early morning hours. Quarter moons, five days before and five days after the full of the moon are always best for morning and evening hunts.

Third best on the list of primary feeds? The new moon when the moon is straight up overhead at noon. Primary feeding will take place through the lunch hour while most hunters are already out of their stands. So watch the moon patterns and remember a rule of thumb my Shawnee ancestors used to hunt by; if the moon is straight up in the sky, go hunting!

Now, I’ve heard throughout most of my life that the rut amongst the whitetail herd is triggered by the full moon each Fall. Well, turns out that the phase of the moon has very little to do with the timing of the rut. In reality it’s triggered by the amount of sunlight as the days begin to shorten.

And when the rut is on, bucks pay no attention to feeding times, much less feeding, but the does will retain their normal patterns, so pay close attention to the off feed times when the bucks are up searching and the does See BENOIT, Page 13

Dominant front seven leads to Leopards' first loss

Leopard’s Number 66 Johnathan Ahne is ready to take on Citrus Inverness Friday Sept.

21, 2018.

BY JOE CARLINO PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHERYL CLANTON

Friday night at Tom Fisher Stadium was a very special night for the Hernando High School Leopards, as the school was celebrating their homecoming week with the customary football game. Coming into the contest, head coach Rob Kazmier was firing on all cylinders with his squad, thoroughly dominating every opponent and keeping a stranglehold on the lead in the district.

Sadly, though, all great streaks and dominance must come to an end, and that’s what happened against the Citrus Hurricanes, as Hernando couldn’t get their ground game going and was marred by turnovers and penalties in an 18-6 upset defeat by the previously winless Hurricanes.

Statistic wise, the Leopards outgained the Hurricanes in total yards (245 to 182) and first downs (13 to eight). The Leopards were also the unfortunate team to be penalized the most in this contest, receiving 10 flags for 75 yards; conversely, Citrus was flagged nine times

for 58 yards. The Leopards were stymied on the ground, as none of their backs were able to break the 100-yard plateau. The closest was senior Israel "Izzy" Fields, who got 21 carries for 97 yards.

"This was a tough game.

There were (some things) that the fans probably knew was wrong, had some big plays called back, but I told the kids don’t use the homecoming as an excuse. Citrus was going to come out ready to play" Kazmier stated after the game. "They came out, challenged our offensive line, and that’s the way things go sometimes. This is a learning moment for sure, have to get ready for (Crystal River) next."

A scoreless first quarter was an early indication that this contest was going to be close, and midway through the second quarter, Citrus delivered the first score of the game behind Brandon Rooks, who punched in from a yard out. The score in the third quarter became 10-0 behind a 29-yard field goal

by Kevin Bacon Jr. It was at this point the Leopards started to roar back, and Fields capped off the drive by scoring from five yards out. The ensuing extra point by David Hale Bron-

son was short, and the score read 10-6, Citrus.

It was at this point in the contest that a very strange sequence of events transpired, and not in the favor of the home team. After an interception by junior safety Shavaris McNair pinned the Leopards at their own one-yard line, the Leopards made it to their own 13 before being forced to punt. And on the ensuing punt, a very interesting illegal block in the back penalty was called on Hernando, and they had to re-punt the ball. On the ensuing try, the punt was blocked, and it rolled out of the endzone for a safety.

Kazmier stated afterwards the call was questionable but didn’t want to sound upset or blaming the officials: "That was a bad call, the white hat (lead official) agreed with me on that. They called an illegal block in the back on us, but they boxed us out, and you can’t call an illegal block in the back when we’re in coverage.

It was rough, but that’s how the game rolls."

Hernando had two drives in the fourth quarter to come back and win the game, but both ended in turnovers. The first possession saw Hernando enter Citrus territory, but

on a catch by Jacob Batten, he hit the turf hard, lost the football, and Hurricanes safety Jacob Freier returned the loose ball 67 yards for the final score.

Freier also intercepted the Leopards with 12 seconds remaining to seal the win.

Both Hernando and Citrus continue their seasons with another game

this Friday night in district competition. The Leopards will stay at home and welcome the Crystal River Pirates, who lost their first game to the Nature Coast Sharks in overtime, while the Hurricanes return home to face the Weeki Wachee Hornets. Both contests are slated to start at 7PM EST.

"Just to be competitive in every match," LaRiviere added. "We just played Crystal River this past Thursday. They swept us easily early in the season.

This time it was different.

The girls believed. We pushed them to overtime twice and we came away with a set win. They weren't going down easily."

Water district to hold hog hunts

District land managers plan to hold a series of hog hunts on District lands throughout the year to help reduce the feral hog population.

Feral hogs, which are not native to Florida, can cause damage with their broad snouts and can leave an area looking like a plowed field. They also prey on native wildlife, compete with native species for food and transmit diseases to other wildlife, livestock and humans. Additionally, hogs may facilitate the spread of exotic plant species by transporting seeds and/ or providing germination sites through rooting.

The District has a threephased hunting system.

The first two phases of hunts will have separate registration processes. The single top producer from each Phase 1 and Phase 2 hunt will be asked to participate in hog management activities for Phase 3.

All hunts will adhere to the hog-dog format. No still hunts will be available. The program works like this: Phase 1 Hunts Registration will occur 9 a.m. Oct. 2, 2018.

Includes six hunts that occur October through

December 2018.

Permits are transferable.

The top producer of each Phase 1 hunt will be placed on the District’s "top producer" list and will be contacted between March and October 2019 to take part in feral hog management hunts on an as-needed basis, free of charge.

We no longer award free admission into Phase 2 for our top two producers of the Phase 1 hunt.

Phase 2 Hunts Registration will occur 9 a.m. Dec. 18, 2018.

Includes six hunts that occur January and February 2019.

Permits are transferable.

The single top producer of each hunt of Phase 2 will be placed on the District’s "top producer" list and will be contacted between March and October 2019 to take part in feral hog management hunts on an as-needed basis, free of charge.

Phase 3 "As-Needed" Management Hunts Includes management hunts that may occur March through October 2019.

Only those registrants that qualify as top pro-

ducers following the Phase 1 and 2 hunts will be contacted to take part in management hunts during this period.

Management hunts offered to top producers will be free of charge and non-transferable.

All 12 Phase 1 and 2 top producers will be offered participation in a minimum of two management hunts throughout the non-hunting season.

The District-managed properties will be temporarily closed to the public during the hog hunts.

Only permitted hunters will be allowed access.

Prospective hunters can purchase permits for Phase I hunts beginning at 9 a.m. Oct. 2 on the District’s hoghunts. watermatters.org. Permits will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis until they are sold out. The cost is $75 for each permit.

A complete list of hunts with locations and dates is also available online.

This is the 10th consecutive year for the hunts.

Last year’s hunts removed 474 hogs on eight different tracts of land throughout the District.

Weather can compete with the moon phase for triggering the feeding times, however. I hunt whitetails, study whitetails and teach whitetail strategies for my full time career and although I always acknowledge that the moon has major influence over deer behavior, those influences are not always enough when it comes to hunting inclement weather.

A cold front sweeps through every so often throughout the season and it can be a highly defined indicator of when a mature buck will be on his feet.

If the weather is noisy, windy and warm the deer hunting will most likely be extremely poor. If the conditions that follow noisy, windy and warm are cold, calm and quiet the

"I was once that kid that was behind the fence."

Trevor McKenna’s goal of becoming a professional baseball player came to fruition on June 12, 2018 after being picked up by the Hillsboro Hops, a minor league affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks while attending NCAA Savannah State University. McKenna is a 2014 graduate of Central High School.

While known for being a strong hitter in the youth leagues, McKenna went on to shine for four years on the pitcher's mound at Central High School.

"The biggest highlight was my no hitter against Springstead High School my Junior year," McKenna said. "If they won that game they would of solidified the division."

McKenna's father and Al Sorrentino, Central High School Baseball Coach supported him through the bumps in the road.

"Not every person has the same road, every road is made for a particular person. For some reason God gave me a lot of twists and turns, speed bumps and u-turns," McKenna said. "You have to stay strong, keep pursuing and have the love of the game."

"My dad always said from a very very young age, if it’s going to be, it was up to me. I lived by that throughout college.

I’m going to have to do what I need to do to make it to where I want to be and no one is going to hand it me," Mckenna Said. "Coach Al (Sor-

rentino) taught me... it doesn’t matter where you go, don’t let anyone tell you that you are not good enough. Don’t let anyone tell that you can’t be at that next level. You are going start at Juco (Junior College) but you can end up in Division One, which I did."

Right Place at the Right Time In D1 baseball after you pitch a Friday night, you are to man the radar gun for the next game.

An Arizona Diamondbacks scout was there and struck up a conversation with McKenna. That connection continued through to the drafting process within the Minor Baseball League (MiBL) .

On June 18, 2018 the Arizona Diamondbacks signed Trevor McKenna as a free agent Left Handed Pitcher (LHP) to a minor league contract and was assigned to the Hillsboro Hops.

Field Level Baseball Training After college and not knowing if he was going to be drafted, McKenna began offering individual baseball lessons in Hernando County.

"It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and I never really had the platform to do it," McKenna said. "Now what’s nice is- I went and played my first professional season, I learned so much myself that I can now give to these kids."

McKenna’s personal lessons covers pitching, hitting and field techniques for kids of all ages that would like to fine tune their baseball techniques.

Accepting Failure "Baseball is a game of failure and a lot of people can’t swallow that. That was the biggest thing for me when I was 13 - 14 (years old). Whenever I failed I couldn’t accept that because I had a very competitive attitude. That is what I try to teach these kids," McKenna said. "In hitting, if you get three hits out of ten attempts, you are considered great.

That means you failed seven times. In pitching, if you have 3 era, that means you failed three times every 9 innings."

Explaining some of the basics statistics in baseball, helps the kids learn about accepting errors as well as instilling a motivation to overcome what they may feel as a failure.

"Its having that positive attitude, turning a negative into a positive. Once a kid can understand that and the younger they understand it the better they can be. That is most important for me is making sure they understand that mental side, whether it’s pitching, hitting, fielding etc," McKenna said.

Giving Back

Trevor McKenna shows an example of pitching mechanics for baseball.

deer hunting opportunity will be extremely high. It is that simple, and that is a good thing!

While you can't plan the best days to deer hunt months in advance according to the weather, you can at least watch the moon and know exactly which days will be the best to climb your treestand. That will lead you to success a whole lot more often than not. And, if that moon phase prediction just happens to fall on a great weather day during the rut, you’ll be needing to call Ellis Taxidermy in Inverness- shortly after climbing down from your tree!

I’ve been out for several hunts now and have a pair of trophy boar hogs added to my freezer. But, this coming weekend, the moon phase is calling for heavy morning feeds….

I’ll be out beneath the oaks each morning and I hope you will be too!

"Let’s continue to make Hernando County All-Stars. That’s always my goal. I want to keep giving back to these kids, so they have opportunities," McKenna said. "I feel like if the kids have someone to look up to and learn from, they can have a nice easy road through baseball."

McKenna added, "I want to thank all the coaches that have done everything for me.

Forming a Weeki Wachee River Crime Watch

BY ALICE MARY HERDEN HERNANDO SUN WRITER

Due to the amount of activity over the summer on the Weeki Wachee River, the community of Hernando County and those that live along the river are focusing more on how they can help local law enforcement.

Volunteers have joined together to form the Weeki Wachee River Rangers in order to tackle the excessive amount of litter visitors leave behind and another volunteer project is in the works: Weeki Wachee River Crime Watch.

Captain J.R. Hutchinson, Special Operations division for the Hernando County Sheriff's Office explained how the Weeki Wachee River Crime Watch has taken shape.

Community Policing falls under the Special Operations division.

"We were receiving complaints from the public in regards to all the kayakers that are coming in on the river on the weekends, with the littering and jumping out of the trees, the alcohol and so on and so forth," Captain Hutchinson said. "Our deputy sheriffs can’t be everywhere at once, so we thought, what better way than maybe to put together a group of volunteers that can act like a crime watch on the river."

HCSO Deputy Woodward, Michael Terry Community Relations Specialist, Cpl Steve Kelly HCSO Marine Unit and Deputy Jason Deso spoke to the community to answer questions and explain details about forming a Weeki Wachee River Crime Watch.

"Our idea was basically to see if we can get some volunteers out on the river to help us be (our) eyes where we can be all the time," Deputy Woodward said. "With the river idea that we had, we are not trying to build that, we are just pitching the ideatrying to get participation

from the community."

One question asked during the recent meeting was, as a volunteer what were they supposed to do on the river.

"One of the things is becoming a visual deterrent," Michael Terry Community Relations Specialist said.

"I need this to be understood, we are not asking you (volunteers) to approach anybody or interact with anybody, we are not asking you (volunteers) to do anything like that," Deputy Woodward expressed. "You (volunteers) are our eyes and ears out on the river."

Chuck Morton, president of the Weeki Wachee Crime Watch and acting president for the Hernando Environmental Land Protectors, had a Marine unit established for the Weeki Wachee Crime Watch group but volunteers became thin.

"Our group got older," Morton said.

Morton cited concerns in forming a river crime watch group as it can be dangerous on the riverdealing with kayaks on the water- as there is little room for error should something go wrong.

"With the extreme amount of kayaks out there the risk level is severely elevated…" he said.

The issue is safety and the well-being of not only the kayakers but also the river crime watch volunteers.

"I am wearing a shirt that identifies me as a CSO (citizen security officer). I am not allowed to carry anything to defend myself with. I come across a bad deal going down, bang bang I’m alligator

bait and no one is there to help me," Morton worries.

"The first thing we got to do is get people qualified and willing to go out there," he asserted.

Many of the issues on the river stem from alcohol use.

"Most people are out there for a good time, sadly there’s some people that to need to drink to feel they are having a good time and that creates problems," Weeki Wachee Crime Watch volunteer Jeff Napp said. He and his wife have lived in Hernando County since 2012.

"When you're drunk, you [can] drown."

May 1 through August 31, the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office issued 16 Alcohol Violation Citations. June 1 - 19, there were 10 Alcohol Citations (Adults) and 4 misdemeanor juvenile citations for alcohol possession.

"What I might take away from tonight, is that the cops cared enough to send 4 people here to talk to us about the river.. that’s a big deal," Napp said. "The community cares."

Hernando County Sheriff’s Office Marine Deputy Cpl Steve Kelly was present during the meeting and discussed ways the volunteers from the Weeki Wachee Crime Watch can help as a part of the marine unit.

"It’s very important because they can call us with problems that are on the river and hopefully we can respond to them and can take care of that problem."

Cpl Steve Kelly patrols a vast amount of area in Hernando County, from the Gulf to the Withlacoochee River and there may be times where he is the only one patrolling the waters.

Deputies explained that crime watch volunteers should only monitor a situation and emphasized that they should not get involved.

"They are going to patrol, watch and see what is going on, and if they see

tact with anybody," Captain Hutchinson said. "We are simply asking them to be a presence."

The Sheriff's Office hopes that a Weeki Wachee River Crime Watch group will be operational prior to Spring Break 2019. However Deputy Woodward remarked, "I think the misconception of the whole thing is that when it comes to crime watches we as the Sheriff's Office do not build crime watches, the community does."

Capt. Hutchinson extended his appreciation to all those that have worked hard to improve the river.

a problem... call us," Cpl Kelly said. "They don’t have any confrontation at all."

"There are a lot of people who are coming up and using the kayak rentals, they are using our resources in regards to the Weeki Wachee River.

We want them to have a pleasant weekend," Captain Hutchinson said.

"We don’t want there to be people who are impaired on the river, we don’t want people illegally dumping in our river."

"We are not asking them (Weeki Wachee River Crime Watch Volunteers) to intervene or make con-

Businesses assist in beautifying The Arc Nature Coast group homes

by SARAH NACHIN HERNANDO SUN WRITER

The Arc Nature Coast furnishes a number of services for the intellectually and developmentally disabled. Perhaps the most important is providing spacious and "homey" group homes to these individuals who, for various reasons, do not live with their families.

Four of the homes are located on a thirty-acre wooded tract in the Neff Lake area of eastern Hernando County. Six program participants, along with a Residential Supervisor, share each home.

Each has his or her own bedroom. There is a large kitchen, living room, dining area, four bathrooms and a screened-in Florida room. The 3,100 square foot handicapped-accessible homes constructed

by Palmwood Builders each cost $350,000 to build and were funded by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation.

There are Residential Supervisors on hand twenty-four hours a day to clean, cook the meals, assist the residents with their personal needs and also provide a family-like atmosphere.

Ashlea Benward, is one of the Residential Supervisors. The thirty-year-old mother of four school-age children works two different shifts, 10 p.m. to 10 a.m. and 12 midnight to 12 p.m.

Although it's a challenge juggling her own family

responsibilities with her Arc Nature Coast "family" responsibilities, she clearly loves her job.

"You have to have compassion and patience.

It's definitely a rewarding job. What I like best is the clients. I love making them happy and seeing them enjoy their house."

One of the recent projects to improve the area surrounding the homes was to erect two gazebos with picnic tables where the residents can enjoy the outdoors. This was made possible by donations of material and labor from three businesses.

Lowes Home Improvement Store in Brooksville as part of the company's Lowes Heroes project donated the gazebos, tables, plants, soil and mulch, as well as the sand to level the spots where the gazebos were erected. A number of Lowes' employees provided the labor. Clyde Daniel Construction donated crushed concrete for the foundations.

Oldcastle Pavers in Tampa donated patio stones and concrete.

Several of the company's employees helped put up the gazebos. All told, the entire project took two days to complete.

Besides the four newly-constructed homes in Brooksville, there are six other group homes located in other areas of Hernando and Pasco counties. Many of the residents have lived in these homes for a long time. One man in his 60's,

who passed away last year, had been a resident for thirty-eight years.

The group homes provide a nurturing atmosphere and a measure of independence to the residents. They have their own bedroom which they can furnish to suit their tastes. Each bedroom has a television, which the resident pays for, while there is a large flat-screen TV in the living room.

The kitchens are designed and equipped so that handicapped residents who want to help prepare a meal or snack can do so.

The family of an elderly lady who lives in one of the Neff Lake homes commented that her overall health and well-being had improved since she came to live there.

On October 25 at noon there will be a ribbon-cutting and dedication of the Neff Lake Estates homes located at 5283 Neff Lake Road sponsored by the Greater Hernando County Chamber of Commerce. Refreshments will be served and tours of the campus will be given. The public is invited, but an RSVP is requested. Email Nancy Stubbs, Development Director, at nstubbs@ tancinc.org to RSVP. For more information on The Arc Nature Coast go to www.thearc-naturecoast.org or call (352) 544 – 2322, ext.111 or (352) 592 – 5650

The Hernando County Clerk of Circuit Court and Comptroller

BY: /s/Elizabeth Markidis Deputy Clerk (09/21/2018), (09/28/2018)

Mrs. Anita Louise (Coleman) Grabowski, of Provincetown, Massachusetts and Bordentown, New Jersey, a highly sought after nurse practitioner and nursing preceptor, was born on May 29, 1946 in Hyannis, Massachusetts, to the late Kathleen Mildred (Segura) Coleman and the late Robert Sterling Coleman Sr. She passed away at age 72 at home on September 11, 2018 in Brooksville, Florida.

Anita's many friends and coworkers were able to visit her during her final days and hours.

The many comments about her deep care for patients and her professionalism are too many to write down. Her innocence and strength always stood in contrast to illness and suffering. She was dearly loved by her patients and fellow professionals. Her brother, Robert Coleman said the cause was breast cancer, and lung cancer brought on by mesothelioma. She continued to practice nursing with Access Health Physicians, even after her diagnosis.

Her impressive nursing career began in 1967 when she graduated from the Helene Fuld School of Nursing in Trenton, NJ with honors.

Anita specialized in pediatric nursing early in her career and taught nursing at Helene Fuld School of Nursing in Trenton, NJ. In Florida she practiced advance family nursing as a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner. The US Army Nurse Corps commissioned Anita in 1967 as a second lieutenant and she served with distinction until 1972 leaving the US Army as a captain. Mrs. Grabowski returned to the Army Nurse Corps in 1991 for the Persian Gulf Campaign serving until 1995 when she returned to civilian nursing. She attended public schools in many states during her father's US Air Force career, but notably in Cheyenne, Wyoming and Bordentown, NJ, graduating from William MacFarland High School in 1964. She continued her education receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from the University of Alaska, a Master’s of Science degree in Nursing from Gwynedd Mercy University, and she attained the Family Nurse Practitioner Graduate Certificate from the University of Central Florida School of Nursing. The International Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau, inducted Anita to the Iota Kappa Chapter in 1988.

Anita volunteered for the Crescent Community Clinic of Hernando County, FL and was appreciated by that organization.

Mrs. Grabowski is to be interned at Arlington National Cemetery with Military Honors at some time in the future. Her internment and graveside service will be announced. Anita's parents were Robert and Kathleen Coleman of Bordentown, NJ and Cape Coral, FL. Mr. Coleman was a retired US Air Force Master Sergeant having served in World War II and the Korean Campaign. Mrs. Coleman was a homemaker and short story writer. They are interned at Arlington National Cemetery.

Anita believed in the Lord Jesus Christ who has prepared a room for her in heaven and she wanted everyone to know that she will be with the Lord forever, 1 Thessalonians 4:17.

Anita is survived by her husband Alfred Grabowski, her son Joseph Grabowski and grandson Leum of Brooksville, FL, Tara Lynn Grabowski (daughter of Alfred Grabowski), her brother Robert S Coleman Jr, his wife Catherine (Lovell) Coleman and their son Robert Sterling Coleman III of Federal Way, WA. In lieu of flowers donations to the Helene Fuld Health Trust Scholarship of the University of Central Florida School of Nursing are recommended.

OPINION DOMENICK J. MAGLIO, PH.D.

WILLIAM F. HOLLAND

Traditional Realist

MINISTER / CHAPLAIN

Law and Order is essential for stability, prosperity and freedom

Unity is beautiful but very rare indeed

"Nobody makes a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little," Edmund Burke Order among people is not established by magic. In the family, parents usually are the ones who set the rules with appropriate consequences to develop order among family members across generations.

Functional cultures in the past developed specific customs, standards and expectations over time. These rules were time tested and adopted because they worked to the satisfaction of the community elders.

When it comes to consequences in the family for any misconduct, the consequence is usually turned into psychological babble without any significant punishing consequence or consistent follow up. America’s traditional values of right and wrong are being lost and it is affecting our children’s behavior as they grow and interact with other institutions. Our culture is losing many of its sacred traditions.

School rules are not being enforced by teachers and administrators. Many of the rules are being promulgated by bureaucrats on the state level for politically correct adherence to federal initiatives. Under the Obama Administration, the Promise Program was stealthily established to decrease the number of felonious assault charges initiated against juveniles. In order to insure the state’s compliance with this program, the federal government granted them money for lowering the assault statistics. The money did create an incentive that lowered the reporting of these incidents while perversely increasing the actual delinquent behavior. It did statistically disguise the cause of the amount of crime without as usual, solving any root cause.

This bureaucratic mentality of sweeping things under the rug has become the rule in most government institutions. Mental health agencies and correctional facilities are placing dangerously unstable people back on the streets, which escalated their anti-social behavior.

The Veteran’s Administration system of seeing patients was deceitful by keeping two waiting lists to appear to decrease the real waiting time for veterans to receive treatment. The Internal Revenue System, the State Department, the Justice Department, the CIA, FBI and other departments have stolen the headlines for their obvious partisan behavior not punishing illegal behavior in their own agencies. Lawlessness has infiltrated the inner core of our local, state and federal governments as punishment for the illegal acts has almost ceased.

Corporate business also has not lived up to the spirit and at times, to the letter of the law. False advertising, poor workmanship, pirating Domenick Maglio, PhD. is a columnist carried by various newspapers, an author of several books and owner/ director of Wider Horizons School, a college prep program.

The Thirteenth Reason Why My wife had been working on a puzzle that she kept on her art room desk. It was a simple 500 with large pieces.

She got tired of it and moved it to the dining room table, with the hope that I would work on it.

I am not a fan of jigsaw puzzles because the picture is on the box, so what’s the point? But in passing, on the way to my recliner from the kitchen, after going to the kitchen from my recliner, I spotted an interesting piece and found where it went.

Then I found another.

Two hours later I finished it. (The total time was three and a half hours counting breaks, including forty minutes talking with my friend from Exwork, Mejor Cargador, on the patio.) My neck still hurts from all that looking down, and I’ve designed in my head a table and set of trays that will hold a puzzle at a 45 to 55-degree angle so that no one ever has to look down again.

Besides the pain in my neck, I also had to deal with the pain in my psyche, for it turned out that one piece was missing.

I looked for it, and when

GOOFY STUFF

By VINCENT CARDEGIN my wife came home she looked for it, and she decided one of her dogs ate it. I believe that, because years ago when my wife first got dogs and she had a puzzle in the dining room, I found little bits of chewed cardboard on the floor. I couldn’t figure out where they came from until we finished the puzzle. Three pieces were missing. Back then I guess they were just teething and wouldn’t eat such things. Now it seems they will consume anything we drop. Add this to my list of reasons why I don’t want dogs: 1. They will eat you if they can, starting with your liver, work their way through your kidneys, lungs, and heart, and only munch on arm and leg meat when the innards are gone.

2. They dig through household trash cans to eat tissues filled with human snot.

3. They stink. I sometimes

stink, but never like a dog.

4. They poop in the yard.

5. They sometimes poop in the house.

6.They shed in the house.

7. They have slimy tongues.

8. They spend money.

Yes they do: Vet, haircuts, food, and toys.)

9. They bark.

10. They can’t meow or purr.

11. They wipe their butts on the carpet.

12. They mindlessly wander around the house and trip me whenever I’m mindlessly wandering around the house, no doubt trying to break my neck so they can start eating my innards.

13. They eat puzzle pieces.

I told my wife not to begin anymore puzzles. She can work puzzles online (I just heard about that) and if she must buy a box, she has to finish it in her art room. Her dogs can eat all the pieces they want.

But she is not allowed to put it on the dining room table, where it might distract me from returning to my recliner.

information and innovation from less powerful enterprises have become common.

When services are not delivered, such as flights being cancelled, refunds are not automatically forthcoming. The major tech, financial and pharmaceutical companies have well financed legal experts to intimidate any start-ups to fold or by purchasing them instead of pursuing legal remedies. The larger corporation with their powerful legal staff is rarely prosecuted in this lobbyist/crony-capitalist time period.

A society and culture has no better unit than the family to develop stability. The parents insist the children abide by the rules or

receive appropriate consequences at home.

These children mature into conscientious lawful citizens that are the backbone of a stable, free nation.

When the breakdown in the rule of law is not enforced in the home, community, business and government, someone has to take charge to reestablish order. This usually starts with the leaders that have enacted strong measures that are consistently enforced.

When behavior is out-ofcontrol, a leader has to stand up.

Great leaders know that enforcement is essential for us to maintain order.

They realize that law with justice is inherently better than corruption and mob violence. Chaos

has no friends except extremist groups who are attempting to create a coup. Radical changes without the majority’s consent too often results in repression and extermination of citizens.

Citizens do not need a divisive, hostile revolt to return to the respect for the rule of law. We need a strong dedicated leader backed by moral families to bring back industrious, moral citizens who control their own behavior in a positive way and demand the same from others. These citizens will encourage stability, prosperity and personal freedom. Our nation’s survival requires heroic people to step up.

Have you noticed lately that conflict and disagreement are more abundant than unity?

Though the average person would give peace as the answer to what they would like to have more of, we are bombarded with an environment that is filled with arguing, strife, and criticism. It seems that some people actually enjoy fighting and bickering as a challenge to see how many disputes and quarrels they can instigate and win. Wouldn’t the world be such a happier place if we could all just get along and try to focus on what is good instead of being constantly disparaging and judgmental?

We are reminded of the passage in Philippians chapter four and verse eight where Paul states, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” The writer realized that our minds are highly vulnerable to receive and express negative influences and is trying to explain that we would be much more calm and content if we could learn how to be less condemning and more optimistic. I know, some of you strongly disagree.

So, as we are surrounded by an ocean of disagreements, who has the wisdom and authority to know what is right and wrong?

Every political, philosophical, and religious group on the planet will step forward and acknowledge they possess the absolute truth which has now increased the confusion beyond comprehension. As the world ponders about universal correctness, we are hearing more about how truth is relative to each individual. This suggestion proclaims there is no such thing as absolute truth but rather is a personal conclusion. On the other side of the fence, we find that Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the absolute truth, the purpose and meaning of life, and the Bible has been given to mankind as our spiritual compass and instruction guide. Of course, there are many who will disagree.

With all of this arguing and strife, are Christians directed to enter into this battle? If Jesus were here today, would he be an outspoken, aggressive political activist? I don’t think so. As a follower, I’m convinced we are called to demonstrate his character more than we are commanded to tell everyone how they should live. Christians are encouraged to promote unity as we read in I Peter chapter 3, “Finally, all of you, be likeminded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult” also in Romans chapter 12, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”

Why is this important? Because when Christians climb into the ring to fight against something they disagree with, they are exchanging their spiritual authority for a destructive attitude of carnality which can easily develop into resentment and hatred. We are tempted to disregard God’s warning about wrestling against flesh and blood but unfortunately, our arrogance would rather go to war on the battlefield than go to war on our knees. Yes, you guessed it, the majority of people on this planet disagrees.

25 year reunion for 1993 Hernando High grads

FOSTER o r ADOPT Make a Difference for Life.

The 25 year reunion for the Leopards' class of 1993 was held at the Bistro in Brooksville last weekend. Rocco Maglio, co-founder of The Hernando Sun is a member of the 1993 Hernando High graduating class. There are a handful of his classmates that remember his underground and unsanctioned high school newspaper “The Rebellion” and one classmate even still has an issue.

They weren’t too surprised to hear that Rocco has a real newspaper now.

Two teachers from that time who happen to be talented musicians, Joe Solomon and Bill Creel, provided the music.

Joe taught geometry from 1978-2000.

Bill taught physics. The pair played hits from the 80s and 90s and didn’t happen to leave out ‘The Electric Slide.’

Kellie Hobin brought her old yearbooks

for classmates to peruse. Many of the students have known each other since primary school. Several attended Moton Elementary before it moved to its current location. They recalled teachers they were fond of and classroom antics. For one evening, their school days were upon them again and Jen O’Connor couldn’t help but get nervous when Mr. Solomon walked by, afraid he’d pick on her to answer a question!

The week of Sept. 17- 22 was Homecoming for Hernando High School.

The Hernando High Class of 1993 and 1983 held their reunions that weekend. The oldest alumni present at the Homecoming football game was honored during halftime - she was a member of the class of 1955.
