Even former skeptics spoke to the Brooksville City Council at the October 15, 2018 meeting, urging the council to vote against an ordinance that bans medical marijuana dispensaries within the city. The board voted unanimously against the ordinance, allowing dispensaries to be established and operate within Brooksville city limits. An ordinance placing a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries had been in

effect since January 2017 within the city. Hernando County commissioners repealed an ordinance regulating medical marijuana dispensing facilities in late 2017, but the city had remained a ‘hold-out’ until the Oct. 15 meeting.

The official discussion and vote occurred later in the meeting, Citizen’s Comments was the unofficial opener.

Two residents counted themselves as “once-skeptical,” including Brooksville doctor Scott Gebhardt, D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathy). Gebhardt once considered those seeking

medical cannabis as “a bunch of stoners … looking for an excuse to make cannabis legal.”

After noticing that numerous patients in his practice reported they were using cannabis with good results, Gebhardt’s perspective changed and he is now one of seventeen medical providers in the county who is licensed to recommend cannabis.

Local author pays homage to Brooksville

Eddie Dexter Stewart's debut graphic novellette spotlights Brooksville

BY SARAH NACHIN HERNANDO SUN WRITER

Eddie Dexter Stewart is a local writer and illustrator who has just published his first in a series of books. It’s entitled Noelle (Chapter 1.0, Welcome to Sunrise). This manga/graphic novelette is about a world famous teen supermodel from Japan whose family moves to the fictional town of Sunrise which is based on Brooksville.

Although manga is not well-known in the United States, it is very popular in Japan and dates back to the late nineteenth century. Unlike comic books and graphic novels, manga’s illustrations are usually in black and white.

Stewart who grew up in Brooksville and graduated from Hernando High School and Pasco-Hernando Community College ( PHCC - now Pasco-Hernando State College), describes his manga as a “Coming of Age story that eventually turns into a story of love and adventure.”

He mentions and illustrates many familiar Hernando County landmarks (although under different names) in his novelette. For example, Coney Island Hot Dogs becomes Big Dawgs and Hernando High School becomes Sunrise High School. Stewart includes the stereotypical high school students – the jock, the geek, the new girl in town, along with many others. However, it’s important for his characters to be multi-dimensional and to undergo a change, even a somewhat unexpected one, during the course of the story.

Eddie Dexter Stewart was born in Philadelphia, but his dad, James Carl Stewart, a police officer moved his family back to his hometown of Brooksville because of the increasing crime in Philly.

The Dexter Family of six children, father James and mother, Earlene, lived on a farm on Byster Lake.

“When I was a kid we grew up basically poor. For me, reading, writing and drawing were a means of adventure and escape. Sometimes when I was feeling sad I would write some poetry or See AUTHOR, Page 16

HERNANDO COUNTY CLERK OF CIRCUIT COURT & COMPTROLLER

DOUG CHORVAT (REP) CANDIDATE BIO PROVIDED BY CANDIDATE: My name is Doug Chorvat. I was born and raised right here in Hernando County. I am married to my wonderful wife Malinda and we have two amazing children Makenna and Conner.

I am employed at the Clerk’s Office currently and have been there for over 18 years. Any area of our office that you deal with today, I have touched. I started at the bottom of the Information Technology Division and made my way to the top in the first 6 years.

I am currently the Director of Strategy and Communications.

I graduated from Hernando High School in 1995 and completed my bachelor’s degree from the University of South Florida in 1999 in Management Information Systems.

I have two certificates from the Florida Institute of Government at Florida State University (Certified Government Chief Information Offi-

cer – 2011 and Certified Public Manager – 2017).

I was a member of the Leadership Hernando Class of 2008, served in numerous positions in the Brooksville Relay for Life between 2006 and 2011, and am an active member of the Brooksville Ridge Kiwanis club.

In 67 counties statewide, 43% of the Clerks come from within the organization. In our Circuit alone (Citrus, Sumter, Hernando, Lake, and Marion), 4 of the 5 Clerks came from within the organization. The Clerk is a very complex elected official with over 1000 responsibilities.

MICHAEL LAMBERTI (NPA) CANDIDATE BIO PROVIDED BY CANDIDATE: Born in New York, I was raised on Long Island and received my Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the Stony Brook University, there also completing 15 graduate credits in Human Resource Administration.

I graduated magna cum laude and fifth in my evening class from Touro Law School with excellence honors in six subjects.

I am an experienced trial attorney and an over 20 year member of the Florida Bar. After graduating from college, I worked as an IRS tax examiner rigorously auditing large corporate employer tax accounts.

Before moving to Spring Hill, I worked as a Senior Claims Hearing Representative for the NY State Insurance Fund litigating highly complex workers’ compensation injury and occupational disease claims. For nearly 12 years, I identified and resolved claims fraud, employer misrepresentation, and medical treatment waste and excess, all while responsibly and equitably settling high-cost claims.

Since 1998, in our Fifth Judicial Circuit as: An Assistant State Attorney for over 9 years,

Q & A WITH

Q & A WITH MICHAEL LAMBERTI

DOUG CHORVAT What are the most important responsibilities of the Clerk of Court?

Financial Services area: As we watch to make sure that the funds of the BOCC are spent according to their policies and procedures as well as those of the Government Accounting Standards Board and pay the bills on time.

The Courts Services area: we need to do our job in a timely fashion or this hinders the judicial process.

The Official Records area: If we are behind schedule on getting documents recorded, this could slow down all areas of the county (Real Estate, Builders, Home Owners, etc).

Why would you like to serve as Hernando County’s Clerk of Court?

This is a culture that I helped form over the last 18 years of service. My education combined with that experience makes me the best option. No other candidate has the handson experience in the areas of our office, or the established relationships with the entities we work with every day.

In the last two elections for the Clerk position in the state, four of the Clerks elected have a technology background.

Our business is becoming so dependent on technology that we need technology experts to lead us in the next phase of the Clerk’s role in county government.

I held criminals to account in Citrus, Sumter, and Hernando Counties. I was a Division Supervisor for nearly 4 years.

A Child Welfare Attorney, I held bad parents to account for neglecting and/or abusing their children.

An Assistant Public Defender for over 9 years, I now work to ensure that our government is accountable to our Constitution and the Rule-of-Law. I was a County Manager for nearly 5 years.

Married for nearly 30 years to wife, Marion, we have made Hernando County our home since 1997.

operate the courts. Over the past 4 years, we have received cuts to that budget. Hernando is one of 12 counties that cost taxpayers zero of their dollars to operate the courts functions.

Second, Official Records, funded by revenue taken in from recording of documents. The fees are then used to operate those functions of the office and any leftover funds are to be returned to the BOCC. In general, we return $250,000.00 or more to the County General Fund.

Last, we have Financial Services, Audit Services, Clerk to Board, and some of our Information Technology department. This comes from the General Fund and consists of approximately 1% of the general fund tax revenue. We provide a lot of service to the constituents without costing them in terms of taxes.

We are constantly facing budget cuts to keep taxes down. While I do not support taxes or fees being raised in any way, if we continue to receive unfunded mandates from above, we will need some other source of revenue.

What are the most important projects you would like to undertake in order to improve the Clerk of Court Office and its functions?

To continue Open Government. We have done an excellent job of providing the public access to the Official Records system; the Board of County Commissioner’s Agendas, Minutes, and Meetings; How do you feel about the current budget for the and now Court Case information. The next area on Clerk of Court? our to do list is Financial Records. The goal of our Our budget is provided by three different streams Financial Services Division is to have a Public of revenue.

All of the fines, fees and forfeitures from the case system are sent to that entity and they provide us funds to

What are the most important responsibilities of the Clerk of Court?

In serving our citizens, our county government, and our courts, the Clerk and Comptroller’s most important responsibilities are as: Official Records Custodian; Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Auditor; Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), and Clerk of the Circuit Court.

Each responsibility is vitally important to every customer it serves. As such, my office’s mission will be to provide responsive and excellent customer service to all, for every responsibility, while accurately maintaining our county’s official records and vigorously safeguarding our county’s finances.

Why would you like to serve as Hernando County’s Clerk of Court?

My candidacy for Clerk and Comptroller derives from my unending commitment to provide excellent and accountable public service to the citizens of Hernando County.

Throughout my 35 year career, I have acquired the skills necessary to lead the Clerk and Comptroller’s office as its next chief executive. I will utilize my proven leadership skills of nine years as a government administrator and over three decades of relevant experience to continue my lifetime of service to our community.

Most importantly, my candidacy is based on the premise that there is not a "Republican" nor a "Democratic" way to lead the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller’s Office.

There is only the RIGHT way, and I am the RIGHT CHOICE in this election.

How do you feel about the current budget for the Clerk of Court?

The Clerk’s current budget is $7,586,335 of which $6,030,000 (79.5%) is personnel costs, and is derived from three main sources: 1. Local funding from the BOCC. As our county continues to grow, this budget must

be pro-rata adjusted such that the Clerk’s office can efficiently and effectively fulfill its responsibilities as the county’s Chief Financial Officer and Clerk to the BOCC. 2. Court funding from the state of Florida from the collections of fines, fees, and court costs.

Despite growing demands, unfortunately there is a consistent statewide decline in funding for every Clerk’s court-related budget. As your Clerk, I will work with the clerks’ association and legislature to develop appropriate funding for these tasks mandated by the Florida Constitution.

3. Recording fees for deeds, mortgages, liens and other documents, and other charges for services.

Only a portion of these fees are retained to offset the cost of operating the Clerk’s office for these tasks. Since they are cyclical in nature, I will adjust the budget as necessary to efficiently and effectively service these customers.

What are the most important projects you would like to undertake in order to improve the Clerk of Court Office and its functions?

First, personnel training and personnel hiring/retention. The investment in the skills, knowledge, and hiring of qualified staff is the single most important dollar spent. Each employee must be trained to handle their duties professionally, accurately, legally, and with the utmost respect for our customers. Employee retention must be maximized through competitive wages and benefits.

Second, adopt new technology, and hours, for the 21st century customer.

Expanded online and call center services must be made available for those unable to visit in-person.

For our in-person customers, appointment scheduling, full-service kiosks and expanded hours will be available.

Third, for Court Services implement 24/7 document filing through the expanded use of artificial intelligence computing to streamline case management tasks.

Contact was then made with Anthony Vainisi (the defendant).

I did not observe any fishing equipment, so I asked the defendant what they were doing down by the water, to which he replied "we were just over there talking."

I then asked the defendant if I could pat him down to which he gave consent. I asked the defendant if he had anything illegal in his possession, to which he advised "I have a little bit of meth in my pocket."

The defendant was then placed into handcuffs, and upon completing a search of his person I located a clear plastic bag with a white crystalized substance believed to be methamphetamine in his right pocket. This white substance then tested positive for methamphetamine using Narco test kit 7623. The substance, including the clear plastic bag it was contained in, weighed a total of 1.8 grams.

This was done on an agency OHAUS scale (model #C305-S, serial #47871) The defendant was then transported to the Hernando County Jail without incident. The defendant was given a felony court date of 11/13/2018 in courtroom D of the Hernando County Courthouse at 1315 hours.

HCSO ARREST SUMMARIES “I have a little bit of meth in my pocket”

THE HERNANDO SUN

Sergeant S.J. quickly advised that the vehicle was fleeing and he was no longer pursuing. Sergeant S.J. observed a few cars come to a complete stop a few blocks down the road and advised he was going to check out what was going on with the traffic pile up. Upon coming up to the vehicles, Sergeant S.J. observed the Daniel doing a U-turn in the middle of the road. When Daniel was able to turn back southbound on Deltona Blvd, Sergeant S.J. initiated another traffic stop where Daniel finally pulled over at Deltona Blvd and Harrow Rd. Sergeant S.J. made contact with Daniel, who was in the driver seat with the vehicle still running.

Sergeant S.J. was able to get Daniel out of the vehicle and took him into custody.

I arrived on scene and observed Daniel to be standing with Sergeant S.J. next to the silver Trans Am. I further observed that Daniel could not stand straight without assistance. Daniel had bloodshot glassy eyes, slurred speech, and a faint odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his person. I further observed that Daniel had a slight laceration to his right eyebrow. Upon asking Daniel how he received the laceration, Daniel advised he did not know how. Daniel was unable to perform field sobriety tests on scene due to not being able to remain on his feet even with assistance. The vehicle Daniel was in had three flat tires. The front right tire no longer had any rubber surrounding the rim. The vehicle further had damage to the right side skirt of the vehicle and front bumper.

Daniel was transported to the Hernando County Jail.

Daniel was afforded the opportunity to submit a sample of his breath to determine its alcohol content utilizing the intoxilyzer 8000, in which he blew a 0.244 and a 0.244 BAC again.

Daniel was given a court date of 11/13/18 to appear in Courtroom D at 1315 hours. Daniel is being held on a total bond of $6,000.00.

HCSO ALERT

Deputy drives up on drug deal in progress On 10-20-18 just before 10 p.m., Deputy David Merced was conducting proactive patrols and security checks in the area of the Spring Hill Library at 9220 Spring Hill Drive in Spring Hill.

As Merced approached the rear of the library, in his marked patrol car, he spotted a male and a female behind the library in a dry retention pond. The male immediately took flight. The female slowly approached the deputy.

Deputy Merced placed the female into custody and notified dispatch that the male fled. Additional units were dispatched to the area to set up a perimeter. Corporal Stephen Miller and K-9 Justice responded to the area in an attempt to track the suspect.

The male who fled was identified as Lindy Frank Carter. Investigation revealed that there was an active warrant for the arrest of Carter for Retail Theft.

Deputy Merced checked the area where the two were originally spotted to find three syringes, a spoon, and a crystal-like substance consistent with methamphetamine. The female, identified as Rebecca Lashbrook, denied knowledge of any drugs and/ or paraphernalia. Deputies searched the bag that Lashbrook had with her and located a syringe cap. Lashbrook advised "that was from a prior use, and not now."

Corporal Miller and K-9 Justice tracked, and quickly located, Carter east of the library, in a pond. Carter was almost entirely submerged under water. K-9 Justice apprehended Carter by biting him on the head and left arm.

Carter was treated for the dog bite at a local hospital where he received 14 sutures and 15 staples. Carter was then transported to the Hernando County Detention Center.

Rebecca Lashbrook was also transported to the Hernando County Detention Center. The pair was charged as follows: Rebecca M Lashbrook W/F DOB/1990 o Possession of Drug Paraphernalia o Bond - $1,000 Lindy Frank Carter III W/M DOB/1982 o Possession of Methamphetamine o Loitering Prowling o Possession of Drug Paraphernalia o Resist Arrest w/o Violence o Bond - $7,500.

The crystal-like substance weighed 3.3 grams. The three syringes tested positive for the presence of methamphetamine.

THE GENERAL ELECTION 2018 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS 1-6 This amendment would lower taxes for homesteaded properties worth more than $100,000 by up to an additional $25,000. It was estimated to lower taxes by $644.7 million per year.

This means that counties and special districts in Florida would have their revenue reduced by that amount, so many municipalities have been outspoken against Amendment 1.

By ROCCO MAGLIO

There are 13 Constitutional Amendments on the ballot for the Nov. 6 General Election. Here is a review of the first six.

We will provide a review of Amendments 7- 13 next week.

AMENDMENT1: Homestead Exemption Increase The Florida Constitution currently has an exemption on a portion of the assessed value of homesteaded properties. At the moment, the exemption applies to the portion of a home’s assessed value between $0 and $25,000 and $50,000 and $75,000.

So, if your home’s assessed value is $75,000 or $200,000, the maximum homestead exemption under current law is $50,000 for either home.

This amendment would provide an additional homestead exemption on the portion of a home’s assessed value between $100,000 and $125,000.

This raises the maximum homestead exemption to $75,000. This exemption only excludes the school district levies and would go into effect for 2019 tax levies.

AMENDMENT 2: Permanent Cap on Non-homestead Parcel Assessment Increases At present, the Florida Constitution sets the maximum property tax assessment increases to 10 percent a year for non-homesteaded property.

The current 10 percent cap will expire on January 1, 2019. Amendment 2 makes the 10 percent cap on property taxes for non-homesteaded properties permanent. The non-homesteaded properties the measure applies to includes: second homes, rental apartments and nonresidential property, such as commercial property

and vacant land. The cap does not apply to school district taxes.

This amendment makes permanent the limit on the property tax increases on non-homesteaded properties. The homesteaded properties already have a limit set for tax increases.

casino gambling (card games, casino games and slot machines). This means that casino gambling will most likely only be available on Seminole/Miccosukee lands.

AMENDMENT 5: TwoThirds Vote of Legislature to Increase Taxes or Fees

Restricts the Florida Legislature from passing new taxes, fees, and increase existing taxes and fees via a simple majority vote in AMENDMENT 4: each chamber (except the Restoration for Felons’ corporate income tax).

AMENDMENT 6: Marsy’s Law Crime Victim Rights, Judicial Retirement Age and Judicial Interpretation of Laws and Rules This amendment would provide crime victims, their families and their lawful representatives with a series of rights.

These rights extended to victims of crimes and their families include a right to due process; a right to be treated with fairness and respect; freedom from intimidation, harassment and abuse; a right to be protected, within reason, from the accused and persons acting on behalf of the accused; a right to proceedings free from unreasonable delay; and more. Additionally, this amendment will raise the judicial retirement age from 70 to 75 years of age and prohibit state courts from deferring to an administrative agency’s interpretation of a state statute or rule in a lawsuit.

GETTING TO KNOW THE US REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT 11 CANDIDATES

DANA COTTRELL (DEM)

DANIEL WEBSTER (REP) (INCUMBENT)

BY MATT VANDENBURGH

If there is one thing needed to understand about the US Congressional District 11 candidate Dana Cottrell (DEM), it is how she has ideas and knows how she wants to improve this district and the country.

Ms. Cottrell’s showcases her experience as an educator in both Hernando County as well as with the Department of Defense Dependent Schools overseas. In Hernando, she has been named teacher of the year for two separate schools, in 1996 at Powell Middle School and in 2003 at Fox Chapel Middle School. She has taught on military bases in Busan, South Korea and Bitburg, Germany.

Her path towards running for office began at a young age, with history teachers in school instilling in her some core beliefs.

“I fell in love with our history. I fell in love with our country, government, civics -- just the whole thing,” Cottrell said.

These core beliefs were something she instilled onto her students, using lessons she learned to help the children she taught to grow and be more aware.

“I would always tell my kids, ‘Being voters is important. Being educated voters is important because that’s your voice,’ ” Cottrell said.

One of Cottrell’s platforms is a revamping of how Congress handles itself. One suggestion she has is term limits in the House and the Senate.

“We have gotten people who are more concerned about staying in power

Dana Cottrell right with husband MIchael and their son

and not about what is right or best for the American people,” she said.

These term limits, Cottrell believes, will allow fresh ideas to come through with the current incumbents taking new positions in government, mentoring the new members on the process and allowing those ideas to flourish.

It is the idea of mentorship that seems to be the base for many of Cottrell’s stances. This comes again from her years of teaching, and she is encouraged to see more teachers running for public office.

“I think teachers are running because we have a different bottom line.

Teachers are not business people, we’re not lawyers, we’re not corporations we don’t have wealth.

Our bottom line is seeing success of the individuals we’re working for. My classroom, they would be my babies, they’re my kids. Anybody I’ve taught, they’re still my kids, and when I become a congresswoman my constituents will be my class, they’ll be the people I need to care for every single day.

Every single decision that I make and every single

thing that I think about will be for the constituents of the district. I think that teachers think differently about their role and their job,” Cottrell said.

Cottrell also promises to be an active member of Congress. There are times when representatives abstain from voting, sometimes as a way to avoid tricky or controversial topics. Cottrell plans to use her voice, something she sees as vital to being a member of the House of Representatives.

“Isn’t it my job so you know how I’m voting on issues and where I stand on issues?” Cottrell said.

Her husband, Michael Cottrell, is easily Dana’s most fervent supporter.

Working with her and providing support, he is always impressed with Dana’s ability, noting how she will stay up late to research a topic, to learn more so she can make informed decisions.

“She’s always the most prepared and knowledgeable person in the room,” Michael said.

This sort of dedication makes Ms. Cottrell an interesting candidate and one to watch for Hernando County.

Congressman Daniel Webster is a successful small business owner, father of six, grandfather of thirteen, and active member of his church and community.

Mr. Webster graduated from Georgia Tech as an Electrical Engineer. He worked in his family's air conditioning business, helping it to grow.

Mr. Webster ran for his first political office because his church purchased a lot next door for parking. The church was then informed that they would not be able to use this lot for parking. State laws prohibited them from using the parking lot for the church. Mr. Webster ran for state office and was elected to serve in the Florida House. He served there for several years, before running for the United States House of Representatives.

Webster says his educational background is very different than the work he does in the House of Representatives. When he took exams, Webster explained, there was only one right answer.

As a lawmaker, the right answer is not always so clear cut.

Webster said that principles should play a bigger role in the legislative process, rather than the accumulation of power and control.

He currently sits on three House committees in the 115th Congress: House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release program implemented in Hernando County (Brooksville, FL) Hernando County Animal Services (HCAS), in partnership with PetLuv Spay and Neuter Clinic and the Humane Society of the Nature Coast, announces the implementation of a Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) program in Hernando County. This catch and release program for feral and community cats complies with Florida Statute and has three primary objectives: 1. Control the cat population through sterilization.

2. Prevent the spread of rabies through vaccination.

3. Minimize euthanasia.

Many citizens care for feral and community cats by providing food and water, which used to be a violation of

county ordinance. Recently, this ordinance was amended allowing residents to care for the cats provided they are actively participating in the TNVR program.

How the TNVR program works: Cats that have no identified caregiver will be impounded by the Hernando County Sheriff's Office Animal Enforcement Unit and taken to HCAS. HCAS will check the animal for identification.

If none is found via affixed county license or microchip, that cat will then be processed. After being processed, cats will either be returned to their original location, held

by HCAS and placed out for adoption or released to a rescue organization. Cats

suffering from disease, injury, present a public health risk or are otherwise unsuitable for return to their original location may be euthanized as determined by the county veterinarian. The TNVR cats will be returned to the field by volunteers from HCAS, the Human Society of the Nature Coast and PetLuv. Cats processed through the TNVR program will be identified by having the top of their left ear tipped, removing approximately inch of the ear tip.

This is the universal sign of a TNVR cat. No cats will be processed without ear tipping.

To participate in the TNVR program, contact PetLuv at (352) 799-9990 to have the cats sterilized. The cost is $20 per cat, which includes spay/ neuter, the administration

of flea and internal parasitic medication, ear cleaning and ear tipping. These services are provided by appointment only. Further instructions will be provided by PetLuv at that time. Those who need assistance with the spay/neuter fee can call Compassion Spay/ Neuter Inc. at (727) 515-9635 for more information.

Participants may rent traps at HCAS, located at 19450 Oliver Street in Brooksville.

The standard rental fee is $50 with $25 refunded upon return of the trap. Contact HCAS Manager James Terry at (352) 754-5893 for more information.

Among recent bills he has introduced is the Innovators to Entrepreneurs Act of 2018 which expands the Innovation Corps program.

The Innovation Corps program, known as I-Corps, was created by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2011 to teach scientists and engineers how to turn their laboratory innovations into successful commercial products and services.

Upon introducing the bill in March of this year with Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-IL), Webster remarked, “The Innovators to Entrepreneurs Act expands on the time-tested I-Corps program through adding a course for commercialization-ready participants...

The NSF’s I-Corps program will bridge the divide between the academic world and commercialization sphere, playing a critical role in the efforts to increase innovation for all Americans.”

In May, Webster introduced the Good Samaritan Charitable Physicians Services Act which will provide a tax deduction to healthcare providers for pro-bono health services to low-income individuals and families who rely on Medicaid or CHIP. Rep. Daniel Webster remarked, “This bill is a creative, commonsense solution that ensures our most vulnerable Americans have access to the care they need, from the doctor they choose, at a price they can afford.”

Webster along with several other Representatives introduced the Keep Families Together and Enforce the Law Act in June.

According to Webster’s office, “The bill protects the integrity of our immigration laws while ensuring that parents and children remain together during their legal proceedings.

“This bill is a commonsense solution that allows us to both enforce our laws and show com-

passion to families by not separating children from the loving arms of their parents,” said Webster.

“It ensures the abuse of the law under ‘Catch and Release’ ends and individuals are not incentivized to use children as shields against prosecution for illegal border crossing,” he surmises.

In August, President Trump signed the Small Business Cybersecurity Bill, introduced by Webster last year. “This bill will provide small businesses in my district, state and across the country with the tools they need to meet the threats and challenges of the modern world,” said Rep. Webster. “These small businesses are more susceptible to attacks due to the limited access to the tools they need to prepare for such an event.”

In late September, Congress passed a bill to improve long-term care disaster preparedness co-introduced by Webster and Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Michigan). “The bill is a much needed first step to ensuring that hospitals and long-term care facilities are more resilient against natural disasters,” said Webster.

During a seven year period, Webster returned $2.9 million in taxpayer funds appropriated to run his office. He touts, “Washington operates on the principle that if money is appropriated, it should be spent. During my service in Congress, I have exposed this flawed principle. If every area of the federal government began intentionally cutting waste, we could get a lot closer to balancing our budget and trimming the massive burden of debt that will be inherited by our children and grandchildren.”

Webster makes frequent visits to Hernando County to meet with community and school groups as well as leaders in business and local government.

Forest Oaks of Spring Hill unveils new Wall of Honor

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHERYL CLANTON

Wednesday October 17, 2018 Forest Oaks of Spring Hill Meridian Senior Living in Partnership with American Legion Auxiliary Charles E. Murray Unit 186 presented the unveiling of their Resident Veterans Wall of Honor. Forest Oaks of Spring Hill Director Raquel Russo, explained that they already had a Wall of Honor but she didn't care for its location. Raquel wanted a wall that would stand out and represent all military branches.

Raquel moved the Wall of Honor to the front where everyone could see upon entering the building.

She wanted to give it the “WOW” look in honor of the resident Veterans.

Which it does, the Wall of Honor is fantastic.

Raquel recounted that Lois Maiolo from the American Legion Auxiliary came in one day and asked if she knew of anyone that could do a metal emblem of each branch that Lois offered to personally purchase for the wall. Lois did find a company, Roger from Amex Welding and Fabrication (13451 Irving St, Brooksville, FL 34609, 352-5448484). Roger fabricated the emblems in detail of each branch and donated them to Forest Oaks of Spring Hill. Raquel Russo and Lynda Anderson,

President of the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 186, worked together to get the wall completed.

The following individuals supported the project immensely: Patti and John Motzer from the American Legion Auxiliary took pictures and framed each of the resident Veterans. Others involved were the Davis Snyder VFW Post 8681 Color Guard, Lucretia Sarge, Arthur Chatraw, and James Laughton.

The unveiling began with the Davis Snyder VFW Post 8681, Color Guard Ceremony, followed by the reading of a poem: ‘Freedom is Not Free.’ Raquel Russo then read each of the resident Veterans’ names with pride. Forest Oaks of Spring Hill has a total of 18 resident Veterans.

One of the Veterans came to Forest Oaks due to hurricane Michael. The 18 resident Veterans on the new Wall of Honor are Robert Henshaw, Larry Covault, Harry Dunleavy, Dale Cole, Richard Lash, Daniel Nolan, Walter Carr, Robert Corbin, Charles Humphries, Allen Winning, Howard Lennitt, Jim McAndrew, Gabriel Destio, Richard Chitko, Donald Herbig, Alexander Walker, Peter Van Scaik and Michael Crowe.

Raquel Russo remarked, “We Honor Our Veterans: This dedication ceremony is to Honor our Veterans here at Forest Oaks today.

We Salute You: Wall of Honor Forest Oaks Veterans: Robert Henshaw, Larry Covault, Harry Dunleavy, Dale Cole, Richard Lash, Daniel Nolan, Walter Carr, Robert Corbin, Charles Humphries, Allen Winning, Howard Lennitt, Jim McAndrew, Gabriel Destio, Richard Chitko, Donald Herbig, Alexander Walker, Peter Van Scaik and Michael Crowe.

Principal Gaustad helps one of his students try on a pair of donated shoes before the start of school this year.

BROOKSVILLE – After 31 years in education, Hernando County School District (HCSD) principal Brent Gaustad has announced his retirement effective Wednesday, October 31st. With his current position as principal of Moton Elementary (MES), Gaustad caps off an accomplished career with 11 years as a school administrator in Hernando County and across multiple levels. As principal of D.S. Parrott Middle and MES, Gaustad secured a reputation as a skilled administrator gifted in turning around low performing schools having led both out from under the watch of the Florida Department of Education.

“I have never served with an educator in Hernando County who didn’t care about their students.

As an administrator, my job was to tap into their strengths, refine instruction and restore their confidence,” Gaustad said.

From his letter to Moton families, “It has been an

honor to serve the students and families of my community and I am fortunate to have had a full career made even better because of the incredible friends and colleagues who helped create so many wonderful memories,” Gaustad wrote.

Current Assistant Principal, Patti Martin, will take over as principal of MES and the position of assistant principal will be posted immediately.

“Brent has always taught, coached or led his school with boundless energy and a heart for kids.

His drive to ensure schools are places of learning and growth is a model of leadership that will serve as inspiration for school leaders for years to come,” John Stratton, HCSD Superintendent said.

The Hernando County School Board recognized and celebrated Gaustad’s career at the October 23rd regular school board meeting.

DISPENSARIES from page 1

them sleep for the first time.

For some, (the first time) in thirty years.”

He also reported recent referrals from pain management and Veterans Administration (VA) physicians who are no longer able to prescribe opiates.

Gebhardt reported a patient base of over 700 receiving medical marijuana.

Though medical marijuana was legalized in the state in 2016, Gebhardt’s patients have been required to drive to Hillsborough or Pasco county to obtain the product, since no dispensaries exist in Hernando County.

Though the question wasn’t asked, Gebhardt did address the looming question of purely recreational or “street users” having access to dispensaries, Gebhardt said, “They’re not going to be using medical cannabis.

It’s too much of a hassle, and it’s too expensive right now.

He invited the council and public to visit a dispensary to allay fear and stereotypes.

“This is not Cheech and Chong,” Gebhardt said, referencing the movie from the 70s depicting two hippies in a smoke-filled van.

Gebhardt also advised that as a physician who has recommendation privileges, by law he cannot own a dispensary, or be a partial owner. A Recommending Physician also cannot have any interests in a laboratory that performs any testing on medical cannabis. Also, the labs are have no affiliation with dispensaries.

With the mention of testing labs, Vice Mayor Robert Battista asked how consistently quality can be assured between different dispensaries. According to Gerbardt, Florida has a “vertical system,” meaning that the products are tracked “from seed to sale.”

Brooksville resident Donna Morin, like Dr. Gebhardt was a skeptic as well, for the same reasons. “I educated myself on this,” she said, and spoke about her personal visit to a New Port Richey dispensary. “Not only were they professional and very informative, but they also made me feel at ease…”

Morin also said that armed guards were present on the premises, and that she was educated on the entire process by the dispensary staff.

Another Brooksville citizen who identified herself as involved with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and

Narcotics Anonymous (NA) for 34 years spoke in favor of bringing dispensaries to Brooksville. She told the council that her 70 year old mother discontinued pain medication eighteen months ago after beginning a medical cannabis regimen. Prior to that, her mother purchased cannabis on the street.

“The question isn’t whether we should or shouldn’t.

That’s already been decided.

The only question is whether or not the city of Brooksville is participating in the revenue.” lker of Trulieve, a Clearwater dispensary spoke about the aspects of what dispensaries look like, and how they operate. Trulieve is the first licensed cannabis dispensary in the state, and has opened 20 dispensaries across the state. Waker reports at least 3,000 people per day visiting a dispensary in Florida.

“Florida has regulated this industry in a very severe way … where every employee that works for us has to go through a level-two background check … even if you’re a receptionist, or a driver.”

Walker also described the product regulation; “Every product … goes through at least a 90-day approval process with the state. We have our engineers, our medical director, our scientists, our lab team, and sometimes input from patients telling us what’s working and what’s not working. We put that into a proposal and plan, and that goes to the (Florida) Department of Health, and they review that for months.”

The Florida Department of Health returns comments and recommendations for improvement. Walker stated, “It can take a year to put a very simple medication into the marketplace.” In the past two years, Trulieve has entered over 100 products into the marketplace, “because we’re serious about it, and because we know how important it is for patients to have variety that work for them, and the physicians as well,” Walker said.

The marijuana plants are not grown at any of the dispensaries, rather at one location, just outside of Tallahassee, in Quincy, Florida.

Dispensaries do not carry a lot of inventory, and receive regular deliveries.

Walker also reports “extreme safe protocols on cash management and cash pickups” security cameras are not only viewable inside and outside the dispensaries,

but also in a central location where all stores can be viewed at all times.

The patient experience begins with obtaining a card, a process which can take a month or two. “It’s very expensive,” Walker explained, “It’s not like they’re just walking in off the street … it’s several hundred dollars of an investment, and several month After a patient receives their card, the dispensary has their own verification procedures, making sure the patient is entered in a state database, and collecting photo identification.

The patient experience after that involves working closely in-person with staff members within the dispensary.

In summary, Walker said, “The message is that it’s more regulated than the pharmacies that we already have in the city, it’s safer, children can’t come in by themselves and ask for a tour, touch and feel and see the products. It’s an incredibly responsible establishment to have in a city, and we haven’t had any incidents in two years… of a theft, robbery, of the police showing up.”

Council Member Brent Young opened the discussion by saying, “After the last vote, it didn’t take long for me to feel like I voted incorrectly.” Young acknowledged the fact that many with physical and mental health issues benefit from medical marijuana, but also noted, “The biggest thing that I thought of initially was that the state voted for this.

I think we should honor the voter’s wishes.”

Council Member William Kemerer also changed his vote, noting the nearly 70% voter approval of the 2016 medical cannabis bill, and added,

“I don’t see why eleven square miles of this county should be exempt from it.”

Kemerer was also unaware of fees for delivery.

All council members spoke about a lack of background knowledge affecting their first vote.

After research by each council member, the ban on dispensaries within city limits was voted down unanimously, allowing for medical cannabis to be dispensed within city limits.

IN, OUT & ABOUT ALICE'S LIST OF

Haunted Places to Visit

Article and Photography by ALICE MARY HERDEN

There are many people that are skeptical about whether or not ghosts or spirits are actually real.

Whether you believe it is possible or not; the memory of those that have died in battle still seem to roam the grounds at these historic sites.

BATTLEFIELDS #1 Olustee Battlefield Confederate | Union Just three hours north between Lake City and a small town of Sanderson lies the Osceola National Forest. The battle that took place there was one of the largest Civil War battles on Florida soil.

To paranormal enthusiasts it's one of the top haunted battlefields.

On February 20, 1864 over two thousand soldiers from both the Union and Confederate perished in battle, which made Olustee one of the Florida’s bloodiest Civil War conflicts.

Confederate and Union soldiers battled until darkness surrounded by the pine barren forest.

Union soldiers retreated and to the Confederates, this battle was a victory.

It took two years for someone from the Union to come back to collect the remains of their soldiers, however due to the carelessness of burials by the Confederates, most, if not all, of their bodies had been unearthed by hogs. Lieutenant Frederick E. Grossman of the 7th U.S. Infantry, only retrieved 125 human skulls and as many bones as they could find within 2 square miles. He placed all the remains in an eighteen foot by twelve foot grave and erected a 12 foot wooden monument where the cemetery is located today.

The battlefield trail is a one-mile loop with informative signs describing incidents that may have occurred at those particular locations.

Even though it’s a part of Florida History, the hardest part of this trail is knowing hundreds and hundreds of men died right where you stand.

Olustee Battlefield State Park hosts a Reenactment every year, the 2019 event is being held on February 15-17.

When they came across within the pine barren land there was nothing but darkness and decay, only to find remains of what the vultures and other wildlife scavengers didn't take.

At the redoubt site, two trenches had been dug where they buried the dead soldiers, it wasn’t until 1842 when the remains were moved to St. Augustine to give the soldiers a proper burial at St. Augustine National

In the attic at the May Stringer House, where many paranormal group members may get visited by a spirit named Mr. Nasty.

The May-Stringer House 601 Museum Ct, Brooksville Bonnie LeTourneau, is the director of the ghost tours, conducted on Friday and Saturday nights at The May-Stringer House. She has been a volunteer at the museum for 14 years.

LeTourneau said there have been around 72 ghost hunting teams that have conducted paranormal investigations and forty-seven of them certified the house to be haunted.

Many who visit the home have reported the presence of apparitions: the voice of a young child crying out for her mother, the appearance of a soldier staring out of an upstairs window.

Spirits don’t only appear at night and for those that aren’t up for being in the dark you can visit the museum during the day and can request a daytime investigation.

The 1885 Train Depot 70 Russell St, Brooksville

where it sits today has an addition which is said to be haunted.

The Train Depot’s addition, an 1880’s cook/utility car was left in disrepair, rotting by the railroad in the Green Swamp. This piece of history was renovated by volunteers Jim Faller and Anita Thompson. According to a local paranormal group, a particular lady remains on board.

The train depot itself has a collection of historical objects and some may still have attachments to their users. EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) recordings have been collected by paranormal investigators and enthusiasts, and some were captured during the day.

Both locations have tours during the day, for a small donation you too may experience something paranormal.

Remarkably three survived a brutal after attack.

"Our difficulties and dangers are over now.

We’ll soon be in Fort King. You’ll have three days off and keep Christmas gaily," Major Francis L. Dade said to his men just prior to the ambush by 180 Seminole Indians on December 28, 1835.

On December 28, 1835 Major Dade believed he was leading his men on a safe journey north to Ft. King in Ocala, it was Chief Micanopy that fired the first shot and killed him. That shot started the Second Seminole Indian War. It took two months

A storm blew through.

It brought darkness.

It turned the entire world upside down.

Strange and hideous creatures roamed.

After the storm, it stayed that way.

But there were stranger things …

Marker 48 Brewing is bringing back its Haunted House this year, and it’s more terrifying than ever. The craft brewery in Weeki Wachee, Florida, has transformed into “Darker 48: The Upside Down” for the Friday, Oct. 26 and Saturday, Oct. 27 – and on Halloween night.

This gory experience is not for the faint-hearted. Only those 18 and up will be allowed to traverse the town from another, stranger dimension (with Halloween night being the exception). The brewery has pulled out all stops for this terrifying adventure. Attendees MUST sign a waiver before entering – the actors can touch you. You cannot touch them back.

Rarely utilized aerial attack powers Sharks to second half victory ARTICLE BY JOE CARLINO PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHERYL CLANTON

Friday night NCT 15 Jr. Cai Teague took it to the house against Citrus.

NCT kicker Alex Florkowski waits for her chance to go out and kick a field goal.

Friday night NCT Fabian Burnett slips right through as NCT 46 Jesuse Torres and NCT 62 Isaiah Heeke open up the hole.

Coming into last Friday’s contest against the Citrus Hurricanes, the Nature Coast Sharks offense has usually been well-documented: the team will have a workhorse-style running back to lead a dominant ground attack en route to close wins or blowouts. That said, in recent years, the

team has been experimenting more with an aerial attack, hoping it will enable the defense to open the field more and create bigger lanes to run.

And it was this exact passing attack which proved fruitful for the Sharks in Friday’s bout against the Citrus Hurricanes.

Despite a couple of early team mishaps, junior quarterback Fabian “2Fabe” Burnett would remain unfazed in the pocket, showing why this passing attack can be lethal by throwing for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, both to junior tight end Cai Teague, to help the Sharks defeat the visiting Citrus Hurricanes, 35-7, in the Sharks’ “Pink Out BCA” game.

The Sharks (6-1, 4-0) would outgain the Hurricanes 286-104, won the first down totals (nine to four) and were also more efficient in the red zone (NCT: 3/3 with 3 touchdowns; Citrus: 1/1 with a touchdown).

For anyone who attended this contest, they would be quick to admit the first half was a backand-forth slugfest, with neither team being able to get a definitive edge

Top 5 Prep Football Ranking Week 9

offensively. NCT would be stopped on their first drive of the game at the Hurricanes 20, and their second drive ended with a high snap that senior running back Michael “Mike-Mike” Weston could not corral. Citrus would score immediately

after, with quarterback Connor Bishop rolling out right and finding Zaire Wilcox uncovered on the opposing side of the field.

This was when the wheels came off for the Sharks. On the ensuing kickoff, sophomore return specialist and defensive back Kinyatah Morgan fielded the ball and raced through the Hurricanes for a 93-yard score. The extra point was no good, though, and Nature Coast would enter the intermission down by one, 7-6.

In the second half, Citrus went three-and-out, and Nature Coast would respond by taking the lead for good on a two-yard scamper by Weston with 7:20 left in the third. From there, the passing game got to work, as Burnett found his favorite target on two beautiful pass-

Week 9 of the regular season for prep football in the state of Florida began last week and we here at the Hernando Sun want to give you the Hernando County reader all the insight you can get during the 2018 campaign. We now take a look at the Hernando Sun Top 5 Prep Football Ranking heading into Week 10 of the regular season.

No. 1 Nature Coast (6-1, 4-0): Nature Coast took full control over Class 5A, District 7 with a 35-7 beat down of Inverness Citrus last week. The Sharks remain in the driver’s seat when it comes down to winning a district championship this fall. It’s very simple for Cory Johns’ club: beat Hernando and Lecanto.

Nature Coast should finish the season as the 5A-7 champions and host a home playoff game.

No. 2 Hernando (7-2, 3-2): Riding a 3-game winning streak in what will be the biggest game of the year for Hernando, it will all come down to a meeting against Nature Coast. A win against the Sharks might be just enough to push

the points needle enough in the Leopards’ favor to inch them right into the big dance. A loss will assuredly have Hernando finishing at 7-3 and missing out on the postseason.

No. 3 Springstead (6-3, 3-1): The Eagles are coming off a 54-7 blowout victory over Wesley Chapel-based Cypress Creek and now play in their final game of the season when they face Dade City Pasco. The Class 6A, District 6 matchup between the two schools won’t make too much of a difference when it comes down to the postseason points scale, as the Pirates only have two wins on the season.

Springstead will need a lot to happen if they want to get into the postseason.

No. 4 Weeki Wachee (3-5, 2-3): There’s a lot of promise ahead for the Hornets as they begin to close out their 2018 season. Despite likely missing out on the postseason, Weeki Wachee will have a strong opportunity to finish off with four wins, as they have 1-win New Port Richey Gulf on the schedule as the final game of the season. The Hornets made some great strides this fall under the direction of Jacob Gray.

PHSC Volleyball clinches regional win

PHSC Women’s Volleyball Player Church Named National Defensive Player of the Week and Player Epstein FCSAA/NJCAA Region 8 Player of the Week

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.

Mixed bag in the Fall I’ve got to tell you folks that I’ve been getting a lot of harvest reports and some great photos in my inbox each week. For everybody that’s taken the time to share with me I truly appreciate it and I’ll be including many of those photos in future columns.

That said, I’d like to offer a few tips on photography after the hunt as it can make a big difference when it comes time to share your memory.

First off, clean it up. Especially if you’re going to share it amongst hunters and non-hunters alike.

Close the mouth, wipe away any dirt, leaves and especially any blood. As hunters, we’re all well aware of the blood and dirt, but others may not be and could find it less than appealing.

Second, positioning.

Take the time to place the animal in a natural posture with a nice background. Nobody wants to see your trophy bucks sprawled askew with trash or unsightly objects in the background, so take a look around and give it a little consideration.

And lastly, lighting.

When positioning yourself for the photo with your trophy, check to make sure there are no shadows across your face or fouling the view of the animal. Try to face the sun and check the shadows from the brim of your hat. If you have to, turn it around or take it off altogether. Let us see that grin!

And now that cooler weather has finally arrived, more and more of us will be increasing our time in the outdoors. Especially since the cool weather isn’t the only thing to arrive; it has brought with it the beginning of the statewide squirrel season.

I know the kids and I have been waiting on this for a long time.

So, I’ll be taking a little time from my deer stand to do some sneaking around under the oaks with my tiny bushy-tail hunters hoping to fill a skillet.

One tactic that we often employ while squirrel hunting is to call to them in their own language in order to get them to expose themselves. Now, as is the case with other species, no call works every time, but these two calls work for us more often than not and are well worth adding to your bag of tricks as well.

Distress calls.

When a squirrel is being attacked it will utter a panicky,

es, one to end the third quarter and one in double coverage for the score, to put the Sharks on top 20-7.

Not being finished, Burnett and Teague wanted to put a final dagger in this contest, and boy did they ever. Burnett would find his favorite target down the far sideline with just over four minutes remaining for a 50-yard score, essentially putting the game out of reach.

When asked about what he saw pre-snap, Burnett explained, “We ran a play-action to Mike, and the safety bit, which allowed Cai to get man coverage on a wheel route, and he made a great play.”

Nature Coast head coach Cory Johns said after the game, “They (Citrus) came out tough, and you could see it. They were what we expected would happen, and we had a couple of self-inflicted penalties in the first half. The game went

wheezing whistle. This call is, intended to alert other squirrels in the area, which then respond by coming out of their nests to harass and heckle the attacker with chirps, barks and chirring noises.

Begin calling while scratching violently on the ground with a stick or even your ball cap.

The purpose is to make it sound as if a squirrel is being attacked. Other squirrels hearing the commotion will come out and curiously begin barking at the intruder, thereby offering you a shot as they jump from tree to tree in an effort to drive the intruder away.

as we expected it to; we just have to correct the little things. Our defense tonight was phenomenal; I don’t consider the score on them because we put them in that position, but our guys showed out for sure.”

On the utilization of the passing attack, Johns said, “He’s special, Teague.

In practice it’s a little tougher to get the throws off, but when we’re in our methods, and if our pass protection can get that 1% better, we can make things work. We’ve all known about how good #15 is, and he’s finally being able to show how dangerous he can really be.”

The Sharks had a week of preparation before they face off against district foe Hernando this Friday night at the Shark Tank.

This game, while also the Sharks’ homecoming game, will also be a “Black Out” game, so the hope is all fans come out for both teams rocking the dark side of the spectrum. A win for NCT would essentially clinch the championship and a

are the most common calls made by squirrels.

Honestly, I’m not sure if these are territorial calls telling others to stay away from their food or if they may be trying to announce to other squirrels in the area that they have discovered a great food source. But, no matter what the purpose behind the calls, they work great to bring others into your area, thusly into your line of fire.

Take a stand near a large oak tree and begin calling, slowly at first and then increasing. Watch carefully for squirrels coming in silently through the treetops and wait until they stop in the open

Prep football game preview: Hernando at Nature Coast

BY ANDY VILLAMARZO HERNANDO SUN SPORTS WRITER BROOKSVILLE- Tale of the tape between Hernando and Nature Coast is this matchup has become the must-see-game in town when it comes around and this Friday, Oct. 26, is no different.

When the Leopards and Sharks meet on Friday night, this will not have the same ramifications as last year’s game, as it was basically the Class 5A, District 7 championship. Instead, the Sharks have all but wrapped up the district with one more win, as they’ve defeated Crystal River and Inverness Citrus along the way, with Hernando hanging onto its slim playoff hopes.

A win for Nature Coast all but secures themselves of the district championship, as its last district game comes against Lecanto, whom only has two wins on the season.

For Hernando on the other hand, this game means everything in terms of the playoff picture as the Leopards look to make the Class 5A postseason in their first season under Rob Kazmier.

Nature Coast (6-1, 4-0) boasts the top rushing attack in all of Hernando County and it’s led by running back Michael Weston, who has rushed for nearly 1,700 yards this season. The Sharks are currently averaging over 350 yards rushing a game as a team and also have two others runners with 300 or more yards. Despite lacking much of a true passing game, Nature Coast has imposed its will against various opponents.

The Sharks’ defense has been very impressive up till now under the direction of defensive coordinator Charles Liggett, as the unit has 12 sacks and picked off seven passes so far. Leading the way is linebackers Anthony Houston (81 tackles) and Corey Patterson (74 tackles). Both Houston and Patterson will have to come up huge against Hernando’s ground-oriented offense.

On the other side of this matchup is Hernando, who’s crucial losses to Citrus and Crystal River put them in a must-win-situation here this Friday. The Leopards are somewhat of a mirror image, as they like to keep the ball on the ground and have a stifling defense. Kazmier’s club has racked up 18 sacks and intercepted seven passes of their own. Leading the way in sacks is Boston Tafelski, who has six this season.

The offense hasn’t been too shabby themselves, with the Leopards rushing for nearly 300 yards a game this season.

Hernando relies more on a running back by committee, with Isreal Fields being the go-to-back if they want to lean on someone. Fields has 1,203 yards rushing and David Hale Bronson is second in that category at 565.

Kickoff for this Friday’s game is at 7 p.m.

going to be emotion with Hernando, but they’re a good team. If we do what we’re capable of doing

and are efficient, we’ll be fine,” remarked Johns.

before taking up the slack on your trigger.

Now, here’s a big tip.

Once you’ve taken a shot and tumble one off of a limb, don't get up to go pick up the fallen game until it's obvious that no more squirrels are coming. Mark the spot where it fell and look for the next one.

If done properly, it's possible to shoot several squirrels in one session.

As always, if you have any comments, questions or just want to share your success from the woods, give me a shout out at Toby@ HernandoSun.com. God Bless and Good Hunting!

Fall fun at Harvest Moon Farm

WILDLIFE

Florida's Most Common Raptor

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY

BY ALICE MARY HERDEN

The 18 acre Harvestmoon Fun Farm located in Masaryktown has been owned and operated by Demetri and Christina Falakos for the past 6 years.

“We grow every year,” Christina Falakos said.

“We might have a few other attractions that we are going to add on, but not quite sure what those are going to be.”

The 5 acre corn maze, jumping pillow and petting farm are among the favorites for visitors, and to spice up the spooky atmosphere, there are plenty of Halloween themed displays throughout the farm.

One of the newest attraction for Harvestmoon Fun Farm is the 50 foot “Big Ball Zone.” Last year the coupled added a treehouse and pedal carts to entertain the kids and adults.

“I want them [visitors] to leave with having memories, and enjoying their time with their family,” Christina Falakos said.

Red Shouldered Hawk by Jim Davis

Jim Davis is the UF/ IFAS Multi-County Extension Director

Florida is home to many raptors. Red-tailed hawks, kestrels, swallow-tailed kites and the beautiful bald eagle are all found within Hernando County.

One of the most commonly seen raptors around is the red-shouldered hawk.

The red-shouldered hawk is a perennial resident of Florida. It can be found in just about any area. I have seen red-shouldered hawks near coastal areas, golf courses, farms and in urban developments.

Anywhere where there is a forested environment, one can see the red-shouldered hawk soaring through the canopy or perching on a tree limb.

Red-shouldered hawks are a medium-sized raptor that feeds on small mammals, reptiles and amphibians.

In my neighborhood, they often prey on gray squirrels and snakes.

On several occasions, I have seen them perched on my fence diving after lizards. Red-shouldered hawks construct their nest sometime in the spring.

Nests are constructed from various plant material found in their territory.

This could be anything from branches to Spanish moss. Both the males and females cooperate in making the nest and the males provides much of the food to the female and young early in development.

After six weeks, young are able to leave the nest on their own and venture out into the new world. There is only one brood per year and average clutch size ranges from two to five eggs. Red-shouldered hawks look very similar to other raptors found in Florida. One look-alike is the See RAPTOR, Page 15

Lots of Halloween themed displays throughout the farm and this is just one creepy clown by the petting zoo.

Pumpkins in all shapes and sizes are for sale at Harvestmoon Fun Farm.

a helicopter pilot, and later flew for United Airlines.

Joining Puglia at the meeting were 12 international students, receiving training to be private and commercial pilots.

Puglia reported positive job growth in aviation over coming years, and came to the board to request assistance for scholarships and funding for certifications and licensure. BOCC Chairman Steve Champion asked about local students, of which there are approximately 30, 24 of which are PHSC students.

Commissioner John Allocco mentioned Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University being a growth-driver for Daytona Beach. He asked how the county commission fits in to increase the scope of the local aviation program. “It could be a major economic boost to this community.”

Puglia believes that PHSC can be competitive with Embry-Riddle.

It’s estimated that the cost per student for practical flight training is approximately $10,000. County Administrator Len Sossamon will follow up with appropriate boards and commissions to raise funds for these scholarships.

AUTHOR from front page

draw some pictures. It was very cathartic.”

In high school Stewart ould draw comic strips and share them with family and classmates. Eventually, they would become the inspiration for some of the characters in Noelle.

“The main character is like a mash-up of experiences I’ve had and my siblings have had. In high school I was like the unofficial counselor to my classmates. So the feelings of growing up and being insecure, feeling out of place, all of that is melded into Ashley.”

Stewart paints a very vivid picture of the protagonist.

“Ashley Bethany Kiyomi Noelle, a supermodel, is the daughter of a French energy tycoon and his famous chemist wife from Japan. Ashley is also cursed with unearthly beauty. An unannounced appearance by her has literally caused riots to break out!”

Although Ashley does not have super powers like x-ray vision or incredible strength, her genes and blood have very strong healing properties. In the story, there are people who would either like to take advantage of that power or prevent her from using it.

The Noelle series is geared toward young male readers, but young women can enjoy the stories too because of the strong female protagonist.

After graduating from PHCC, Stewart attended college in Jacksonville for a semester before transferring to the University of South Florida (USF). He majored in Mass Communication with a focus on Broadcast TV Production. His minor was Graphics. While

Oct. 26- Nov. 1, 2018

hernandosun.com attending USF he worked at the campus TV station, WUSF, as well as the Fox network affiliate, WFTS. After college, he worked at Channel 13, a CBS affiliate for 10 years.

Stewart now works in technical support, troubleshooting such issues as Wi-Fi internet connections.

However, he hopes in the near future to develop a videography business as well as obtain commissions as an illustrator for other authors.

And of course, pursue his own writing career through inspirational and motivational books.

As any good writer must be, Stewart is also an avid reader. Besides reading manga by other writers (mostly Japanese authors), he also likes to read works of fiction and history.

“My favorite book is Exodus by Leon Uris. To me it’s historical, adventurous and romantic and it has all those elements that I like.”

Stewart is passionate about many things, but particularly close to his heart are children and the elderly.

His philosophy of life is “Live Free and Live True” – a fitting statement for a super hero (or heroine).

He states that his first novelette Noelle (Chapter 1.0, Welcome to Sunrise) is a “personal love note to the town where I've spent most of my life.”

“My hope is that readers will become curious about this town called Brooksville (fictionally called Sunrise in the manga) and come enjoy its beauty and warm people.”

Who knows, Eddie Dexter Stewart might just put Brooksville on the map as other authors, such as Washington Irving and Mark Twain, have immortalized their towns.

Founders' Week Brooksville Cemetery Tour

The entrance to Brooksville Cemetery.

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY

BY ALICE MARY HERDEN

One of the many activities celebrating the City of Brooksville Founders’ Week was a tour of the historic Brooksville Cemetery to recognize the families that helped to establish and develop the city of Brooksville 162 years ago. Families include those of Franklin E. Saxon (1840-1922), Col. John Probert Cobb (1834-1923), Henry Hope (1819-1869), along with many others.

Kathleen Hudak, a long-time volunteer, led visitors on the historic educational tour of the cemetery visiting the gravesites and sharing knowledge about the variety of traditions that were represented on the headstones throughout the century.

“It’s just something I

have an interest in and I just love history, I always did,” said Hudak. She and her husband moved to Brooksville in October of 2003 from Dumont, New Jersey and after attending a Founding Fathers event, she became interested in offering tours.

For the past 15 years, Kathleen has been involved with many events surrounding the cemetery.

Her knowledge and research about the families helps visitors understand what Brooksville was like back in the 1800’s.

“It was just the hardship these people went through,” Hudak said.

“They moved their lives here, their families, their children with nothing but a buckboard and a horse to set up a new city.”

“I want visitors to leave with the respect of the people that built this city that they now enjoy. I See CEMETERY, Page 17

PUBLIC HEARINGS STANDARD PLANNING AND ZONING DIRECTOR RONALD PIANTA 1. Rezoning Petition Submitted by Ryan and Jake, LLC (H1821) The rezoning requested is a change from a Planned Development Project Single Family designation to Planned Development Project - Office / Professional. The subject property is located on the eastbound side of Spring Hill Drive 300 feet east of Whitewood Avenue, directly east of Fire Station #3.

No questions were asked by the board, and no one from the public commented. Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) voted 5-0 to approve the request, as did the BOCC. 2. Master Plan Petition Submitted by D.R. Horton, Inc. (H1822) This request is to establish a master plan on the property located at the southern terminus of

Sterling Hills Blvd. Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) recommended approval with numerous performance conditions, which includes increased buffer zones and a gated access road entering from the south side of the property.

Several members of the public spoke to the board about the southern access road on Angela Road, and its impact on their neighborhoods.

Commissioner John Allocco motioned to approve with a 30-foot buffer zone on the south and east sides. The board approved the petition with performance improvements.

3. Rezoning Petition Submitted by Robert Eaton (H1824) This request is for rezoning of planned development project general highway commercial to project general commercial, with a specific C2 use and outdoor storage. This property is located on the north side (westbound) side of Spring Hill Drive, approximately 380 feet southwest of Linden Drive.

It’s an empty lot next door to the Philly Cheesesteak II, which was converted into a restaurant from a car wash some time ago.

The petitioner is planning a 5-bay automotive repair shop. They are planning to use container storage on the property on a permanent basis, which is the basis for the rezoning.

After discussion of the size and orientation of the containers, the board unanimously approved the rezoning petition with the condition of an added 8-foot tall, opaque fence between the containers and homes.

ZONING COORDINATOR REBECCA GARRETT 4. Petition Submitted by Ann Marie Mytnik to Vacate Drainage and Utility Easements Located in Royal Highlands The homeowner wishes to vacate the drainage and utility easements that divide two lots, so that a building can be erected in the center of the two

lots. With no objection from any county department or public, the board unanimously approved the vacation of the easements.

LEGISLATIVE COUNTY ATTORNEY GARTH COLLER 5. Ordinance Amending Unsafe Building Abatement Code Pertaining to Nuisances Created by Unsafe Structures Within Waterways Deputy Attorney Jon Jouben presented the language of the ordinance. Commissioner John Allocco questioned why a new ordinance is necessary, since ordinances are already in place to cite homeowners for unsafe or nuisance structures.

The short answer is that since the state owns the land underneath the water and seawall, an ordinance amendment is required.

The amendment will allow the county to enforce repair of unsafe structures currently enforceable by the Army Corps of Engineers. The ordinance will allow either the BOCC or the Army Corps to enforce.

Commissioner Jeff Holcomb asked if, in the case of a relatively expensive repair, if an appeals mechanism is in place to extend the time for repair so hardship isn’t experienced by the owner. Jouben, Champion and Attorney Garth Coller were in agreement that as long as an owner is working with the county to take steps to make repairs, the county will work with the owner.

Jim Dendy of Hernando Beach asked if the ordinance will apply to floating docks. Jouben stated that floating docks are not covered by the ordinance in place, and that the amendment will not pertain to them.

David Rupp, who lives on the Weeki Wachee river, asked about a vacant lot where the seawall “has been falling over for the last six years.” Rupp reported that the problem is creating a situation where his property is being affected by sinking of slabs and cracks inside the house. Faced with tensof-thousands in dollars in

repairs, Rupp stated he’s contacted the owner of the damaged seawall by mail, who allegedly refuses to remedy the problem The amendment to the ordinance was approved unanimously via a roll-call vote.

ANIMAL SERVICES MANAGER JAMES TERRY Ordinance Creating Animal Services Department Feline Trap-Neuter- Return Program The approval of the ordinance actually puts the program in motion. BOCC Chairman Steve Champion asked why there was a delay in bringing the ordinance for the vote. Terry reported that there was a problem with the language in the ordinance that needed to be worked out so safeguards wouldn’t get in the way of the program.

Commissioner Allocco still had reservations regarding the success of the program in urban areas such as Gainesville, and how successful the program will be in rural areas. Chairman Champion countered that the program is the best effort to control the feral feline population as opposed to doing nothing.

Animal Services Manager Terry answered by saying the results will need to be reviewed, perhaps five years from now to determine if it’s successful.

Terry went on to say that in the first few years, an increase in the number of cats serviced will increase every year while the public learns more about the program, and are more comfortable using it, rather than worry that cats will be euthanized.

Commissioner John Mitten proposed adding a ‘Sunset Clause’ which will limit what may or may not be an effective ordinance.

Champion asked if there was a provision for nuisance cats, who have already been trapped, neutered and realized -that if they pose a threat to a homeowners’ animals, if they can be removed.

Such language does exist in the ordinance.

OPINION DOMENICK J. MAGLIO, PH.D.

WILLIAM F. HOLLAND

Traditional Realist

MINISTER / CHAPLAIN

Universities should promote diversity of thought, not propaganda Some educators have begun to call for the abolition of federal, state, and non-profit money going to higher education propaganda mills. Many qualified students, especially males, are choosing to bypass higher education.

These potential students realize their traditional moral values and inherent maleness are under direct attack. Female as well as male students are realizing that you either conform to progressive ideals or you will be penalized with lower grades, mental frustration or administrative punishment.

Most progressives are obsessed with Russian interference in President Trump’s election while they have conveniently forgotten about the Soviet’s infiltration and entrenchment in our entire educational system. This reeducation process has been going on for many decades although it has accelerated in the past decade. Radical/ socialist students have now been empowered to shut down opposing speech.

Students expounding traditional conservative viewpoints have been shouted down and physically attacked to intimidate them into silence. Professors have exploited the authority and tenure of their position to ridicule and demean traditional conservative ideas and proponents while glorifying utopian ones that sound spectacular but do not work.

Radical students, including Antifa followers have been shielded from any consequences for threatening or actual violent behavior.

Universities have gone a step further by coddling any student who has been exposed to any ideas or philosophical systems that offend them. They have created “safe spaces, crying closets and soothing animals” to pet to deal with people of different ideas that disturb them. Too many of them are so intolerant of different viewpoints that they appear to be on the brink of insanity.

The ability to rationally and openly discuss opposing viewpoints is no longer allowed to exist in universities. Students were expected to learn and debate different philosophies to stimulate critical thinking. Indoctrinating naïve minded students with only one way of thinking is the antithesis of a university’s mission.

Reeducation of young adults with taxpayer money has no place in our constitutional republic.

Educational institutions should be immediately reformed. The citizens of the USA deserve to have their young adults learn different viewpoints to be better prepared to face and shape theirs' and the country’s future and the reality of life. They should be taught the good and bad analysis of our nation to make informed decisions. Indoctrinating students through revisionist history to hate their country’s flag, founders, institutions and entire history as a nation leads to anger and disrespect for all its accomplishments. American students should be able to be proud of their nation without reprisal from professors and anti American students.

Diversity of thought not diversity of the “protected ‘privileged’ classes” should be the expressed aim of education. This concept of protected students is a product of attempting to create a socialistic nation based on dependency of accepting the professor’s statements without critically challenging them. This social engineering encourages compliance not individual thought and merit.

We are witnessing many young progressive political stars pathetically displaying their academic ignorance and simplistic arguments. Universities will only change when their revenue is based on the quality of education not on state and federal guidelines

How to read the work clock Way back when I worked in a book distribution center up north, I encountered fellow employees who constantly complained about the time. It usually happened in the afternoon, sometimes right after lunch, more often after the last break. It was an 8-5 job, with an hour for a noon meal and two 15-minute segments for rest, snacks, and smoking.

Invariably at 3:30 someone grumbled aloud that there was still an hour and a half to go! And others took turns about it, bemoaning every five minutes or less the burden of the endless end to the day.

Long prior to that employment, I worked a southern job I enjoyed and it seemed there was never enough time to finish everything. Oh, a few grumbled now and then, but mostly we had fun and I always looked forward to the next day.

But I understood the drudgery of that northern employment. I worked the walkie-stacker now and then, and for a while I worked the special orders line, where older books sat on metal shelves, both covered in gray dust so thick that that I bought surgical masks and feather dusters so I could find the titles. But mainly I worked the packing line, where we hefted books from a pallet into boxes and shoved them down a motorized rollie table that ran around curved corners to a very complicated taping machine.

That repetition indeed got boring, except when I was packing a book I was interested in, and I often got counselled for reading the blurbs on the flaps of the dust covers. I couldn’t help it. I’m a reader.

So I could identify with the monotony, but not the vocal protests, which became more annoying than the work itself: “Oh my God, it’s still ninety minutes!” “Good lord, will this hour never end?” “Still forty minutes? Just kill me!”

And always during the last half hour the complainers and mandates. Students should receive financial aid based on merit not on social justice mandates.

Professors should sign a pledge to allow both sides of an issue to be expressed as well as respect students who believe in our traditions.

Conservative traditional professors should no longer be blackballed but should be on a 50-50 basis with progressive teachers. Diversity of ideas should be encouraged or the educational institution

GOOFY STUFF

By VINCENT CARDEGIN spent more time complaining than working. They slowed down to almost paused.

Then one day it occurred to me that time could be perceived differently at work.

Instead of looking at the clock and thinking, “There’s still an hour to go!” you should think, “There’s only an hour left!” I persuaded myself with that mental trick, and the sense of monotony disappeared, and I actually worked faster. I know my bosses loved it, but mainly I liked the fact that time sped up. I could make the minutes vanish at will!

I next tried it in the morning, and sure enough first break came quick, and lunch arrived before I knew it, and second break was suddenly upon me.

I began extolling my newfound thinking to other employees, and several of them tried it and found it helpful.

About a week later, a fellow worker asked me if there was some way to slow time down when she was at home. Ah, that’s an entirely different set of synaptic connections.

Home (or at least not at work) is where the intensity of concentration defies even an astrophysicist’s math of how spacetime effects perceived reality. The mind is its own

should be penalized financially or lose their licensure for not doing so.

A university that does not promote critical thinking is not fulfilling its mission.

Our current university system is not preparing our young citizens to continue the US leadership role in the world. Instead it is only developing an ignorant class of socialists who do not understand our generosity, sacrifice, and greatness rather than detest our country.

Brainwashing our future

universe. That night I tried slowing the clock by thinking “Oh no, it’s still two hours before I can go to bed!” But bedtime came before I was ready.

So the next day I had to tell her that the only way to slow time down after work is to be miserable at home. There might be people who experience that for real, but I wasn’t one of them.

Over the years I used the mind-trick on and off at many different jobs, except Exwork.

There, time passed quickly without me thinking about it or even noticing, except later when I was forced to get on a register. Doing that is my version of Purgatory, an endless curse of scanning and bagging and expired coupons and calling for a CSM, and time went stagnant.

Lately, completely contrary to past perception, I’ve discovered that time can slow at home when I stay busy. I often spend what seems like six hours watching eighteen hours of TV. But Monday I replaced two switches and outlets in the kitchen, spackled holes in the living room wall so I could hang some new paintings and family photos, and replaced sun-cracked miniblinds in my office, and I was astonished to find that only 2.5 hours had elapsed.

Wow. I wonder how much I can slow time if I ripped up the carpet and put down tile?

I would love a week feeling like a month, instead of a month seeming like a day.

leaders to hate our laws, institutions and constitution is a direct path to disunity and civil war. This would be a disaster for everyone: traditionalists as well as progressives. Diversity of thought along with the protection of everyone’s freedom of speech results in a vibrant society.

Our nation is great enough to be able to accommodate all points of view through the first amendment, Freedom of Speech, also results in freedom of thought.

It seems like yesterday that my Son and Daughter-in-law announced they were going to have a baby and today I am declaring to the world what a wonderful miracle has happened. The joy of this news was beyond words and the anticipation grew every week until our grandson has now finally entered the world. I remember seeing him for the first time and must admit, this little man has absolutely captured my heart. He’s not even six weeks old yet and I am thinking about him all the time. We love to buy him toys and clothes, and I’m already planning the things I want to give and experience with him. I realize that everyone who has grandchildren feels this overflowing fountain of love and now I’m understanding these emotions for the first time.

When my wife and I were young parents, I did not comprehend when older people would tell me how exciting they were about their grandchildren along with the never-ending albums of pictures.

I get it now. They are beaming with pride and thanksgiving and want the whole world to see these beautiful individuals that have no limits to what they can do or who they can. Lately, I’ve found myself repeating the exact same comments I have heard others say all of my life. Things like, “he has long arms and legs, probably going to be a basketball player” or “he is so alert, I know he is going to be very smart.” I am captivated with a love that will provide unlimited cuddles and kisses, an endless supply of cookies and candy probably not pay attention to bedtime curfews, and always have time for one more story.

There is so much I want to see and know about his life. I want to encourage and inspire him and talk with him about everything and share what I’ve learned about the mysteries and joys of this life. At the same time, this relationship reminds me of what a serious responsibility I have to be a good role model, to demonstrate and help point him in the right direction to the best of my ability. I remember when my children were small, I would tuck them in at night and pray over them because I wanted God and his angels to protect them from harm.

I would also ask the Lord to give them wisdom and favor and to bless and help them in their decisions and opportunities. I feel the same fervency for this next generation as I will also intercede for this young man as he explores and searches for his place in this world. Most of all I will pray that he will know God and have a special relationship with him and that he will grow up to be a man of integrity and honesty, a good son, and eventually a good husband and father. I hope I am around long enough to be a special part of his life and to watch him develop into the man God has called him to be.

I remember my grandfather and how much he meant to me as a little boy. I can still hear him singing little songs about me that he would make up and how special it made me feel. I was the first grandchild and I remember how my grandparents would hug and kiss me every-time they saw me and I know they were filled with joy and love for me.

When I was about eight years old, I started spending the weekends with them and it was so much fun.

They lived way out in the country and to a small boy this environment was an enchanted place filled with adventure and exciting new experiences. They are gone but those moments are still in my heart and now I’m so looking forward to making new delightful memories together with my grandson. As I close with a poem by Teri Harrison, I am united with all the other proud and grateful grandparents who since the beginning of time have enjoyed this great honor. “I stroked your little hand, perfect sweetness as we touched. I whispered that I loved you...loved you so very much. I held you close to me, memorized your darling face. I’ve waited so long, my heart now touched by grace. As papaw and grandson, an amazing journey has begun. You’re my heart, you’re my joy, my precious little one.”

CONFIDENCE

Confidence. A powerful element in fighting cancer.

Cari Ellison’s family has a history with breast cancer, but she never thought she would be diagnosed when she was just 28 years old. Cari watched as Florida Cancer Specialists saved her mother’s life in 2008, so she was confident they had the best doctors and treatments for her now.

Using a drug approved from a clinical trial that her mother participated in at Florida Cancer Specialists, Cari’s doctors put her on a targeted treatment plan. In the past three years, the majority of new cancer drugs approved for use in the U.S. were studied in clinical trials with Florida Cancer Specialists participation. The personalized treatment plan saved Cari’s life and the support from her doctors and nurses raised her spirits, proving that when hope and science join forces, great outcomes can happen.

“When I got my diagnosis, I knew that I had to go to the doctors that saved my mom, too.

Thank you, Florida Cancer Specialists.”
