A Southern Affair The Arc Nature Coast holds 'Gone with the Wind' themed Prom

Garbage pickup is very important. When it suddenly stops, it can be frustrating for anybody, but it’s even worse for elderly or disabled residents who have trouble communicating, moving around or have a fragile state of health.

Lilyan Vannerson is 86 years old. She speaks in a broken staccato manner, since she has trouble breathing.

She lives in a quiet, rural area of Hernando County on the property her parents purchased in 1949. They were dairy farmers that moved up from Clearwater.

She happens to be my neighbor. I only met her last Thursday, when she phoned our office out of exasperation.

She is a Republic Services customer, but her garbage hadn’t been picked up by the company since June 20. From my understanding of the situation, she never received a blue trash bin and they stopped her service on See GARBAGE BIN, Page 6

Angela Bryant, team leader at the center, stated, "We chose Gone With the Wind as our theme because we wanted to celebrate the South."

"We decided to organize the prom because in our Kiwanis Club meeting we had discussed the fact that the Arc customers had never experienced a prom and we thought it would be a wonderful thing for them to experience," Ms. Bryant continued.

Florida man accused with threatening to open fire inside a Walmart, one day after a gunman killed 20 inside a Texas Walmart.

31-year-old Wayne Lee Padgett of Valrico was arrested after calling the Walmart Supercenter in Gibsonton, Florida, and telling managers he planned to shoot up the store. About one thousand people were evacuated out of the store. Padgett is on bond for $7,500 at the Hillsborough County jail.

Earlier this week a state appeals court ruled that a man that had previously been convicted of a felony bad-check charge four decades ago cannot have a concealed-weapons permit.

J.J. III was given a concealedweapons permit in 2016 but the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service later revoked the permit after discovering the felony conviction.

City of Naples Lost $700K in Spearphishing Attack

Kennel Owner Sues State Over Greyhound Racing Ban A Pinellas County greyhound-kennel owner has filed a lawsuit against the state because of a dog racing ban approved by voters in November.

Christopher D’Arcy, the owner of D’Arcy Kennel LLC in St. Petersburg, wants a judge to order the state to pay for the loss of value of his property which included racing dogs. Voters in the November election approved a constitutional amendment that will shut down Florida’s decades-old greyhound racing industry by December 31, 2020.

The Officials City of Naples has lost about $700,000 in a recent cyberattack. Authorities said that the money was paid to a fake bank account the attacker provided while posing as a representative from the Wright Construction Group. City Manager Charles Chapman said a criminal investigation has been launched.

Mr. Chapman also says that the attack appears isolated and did not affect any of their data. This attack is part of a growing trend of cyberattacks on municipalities in Florida, recent victims include Key Biscayne, Riviera Beach, and Lake City.

Proposal Would Ban Plastic Straws, Carryout Bags The controversial subject of banning plastic straws may return to the state Legislature. Sen. Kevin Rader wants to prohibit the use of plastic straws and plastic “carryout” bags statewide.

Rader’s plan is to only allow single-use straws made from nonplastic materials, such as paper, pasta, sugarcane, wood, or bamboo.

(Note: Paper straws will need to become much stronger because currently, they fall apart within seconds of getting wet.

Pasta straws can be a choking hazard because if you chew on the straw it can shatter causing little pieces of uncooked and pasta to fall into your drink which can lead to choking. Bamboo and wood straws are usually multi use.)

Senator Wants Coconut Patties As Florida’s Candy Sen. Lauren Book who represents Hollywood, Florida just filed for a measure (SB 38) that would allow both chocolate-dipped and nonchocolate varieties of coconut patties to be the latest state symbol. The coconut patties would join the list of Florida items including key lime pie, tupelo honey, horse conch, Myakka fine sand, mockingbird, dolphin, panther, and American alligator.

Governor Ron DeSantis and FWC Reinstitute the Red Tide Task Force Governor Ron DeSantis announced that the Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) was restarting of the Red Tide Task Force. The Red Tide Task Force has been inactive for 15 years.

Governor DeSantis also announced the appointments of 11 experts to the panel.

The Red Tide Task Force will focus on understanding the causes of Red Tide. The task force will be assisted by FWC’s Center for Red Tide Research.

The Red Tide Task Force will work with other initiatives including the Blue Green Algae Task Force and the Florida Red Tide Mitigation and Technology Development Initiative.

There have been documented red tide blooms along Florida’s Gulf Coast since the 1840s. However, the recent red tide bloom from 2017 to 2019 was one of the stronger and longer duration blooms.

Governor Ron DeSantis Requests FDLE Take Over Jeffrey Epstein Investigation Governor Ron DeSantis has sent a request to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to take over the investigation pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein and the letter from Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw.

Governor DeSantis said that, “Floridians expect and deserve a full and fair investigation following my review of Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw’s letter, I am requesting the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to take over his criminal investigation pertaining to the Jeffrey Epstein matter. In addition, FDLE will conduct a preliminary inquiry into matters beyond the work release and into other irregularities concerning the case’s disposition.

I have also re-assigned the case to the State Attorney for the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit.”

Suspended Tallahassee City Commissioner Scott Maddox Pleads Guilty Suspended Tallahassee City Commissioner Scott Maddox reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors where he pled guilty to three fraud charges in a “payto-play” bribery probe. The prosecutors dropped 39 other charges as part of the plea deal.

Maddox is a former Democratic State Chair, last serving in 2005.

The Tallahassee corruption scandal had embroiled Andrew Gillum during his run for governor last fall. Mr. Gillum was not charged by prosecutors in the probe. Mr. Gillum did agree to pay $5,000 to settle a state ethics commission investigation.

SARRAULT, MARK ANTHONY Jr YOB: 1979 CHARGES: DISORDERL Y INTOXICATION, ASSAULT, CORRUPTION / THREAT PUBLIC SERVANT Arrested at: 08/04/2019 11:15 205 E FORT DADE AVE, BROOKSVILLE, FL, 34601 Arrest Summary: On 080420191 responded to Hernando Park located at 205 E. Fort Dade Avenue within Hernando County In reference to a disturbance.

Upon arrival, contact was made with the victim, Ora William Potter. The victim advised that he was sitting on a park bench watching a movie when an acquaintance of his identified as Mark Sarrault, the defendant, approached from the east side of the park and began yelling at him., The victim advised that he wanted nothing to do with the defendant and waved his hand for the defendant to go away. The victim advised he does know the defendant, however, has been trying to avoid him due to the defendant being severely Intoxicated. The victim alleges the defendant, who was his walking his approximately 65-lb terrier mixed breed dog, continued to approach while yelling profanities and making reference to having a firearm. The victim advised that upon getting within five feet the defendant stated to his dog, "Sic him, sic him, sic him", at which time the dog began aggressively barking and lunged towards the victim in an obvious attempt to bite him. The dog was subsequently stabbed by the victim in an effort to prevent an attack.

Contact was made with

Spitting Mad

witness, William Mills. William advised that he is an acquaintance to both the victim and the defendant and holds no grudges against either one. I therefore found William to be a credible witness. William confirmed the victim's statements. The only part that was not confirmed was the order to attack given by the defendant.

William did advise, however, that the defendant was very clearly letting the dog's leash slack so the dog could proceed further forward in what William described as an obvious attempt to have the dog bite the victim. I made contact with the defendant. I observed the defendant to have bloodshot, watery eyes and an extremely strong odor of alcoholic beverage emitting from his person and breath. The defendant was also observed to be unsteady on his feet. The defendant gave a different version of events and could not offer an explanation as to why both Wiiiiam and the victim would be lying.

Due to the defendant being visibly intoxicated and causing an obvious disturbance in the park, he was taken into custody. A search of the defendants belongings post arrest yielded a 75% empty 1.75 liter bottle of Skol Vodka. The nearly empty vodka bottle confirmed both Wiiiiam's and the victim's statements that the defendant was drinking all day to excess.

It should also be noted the defendant is known to this Affiant to be a severe alcoholic and a frequent source of disturbances due to his drinking. While being transported to the Hernando County Jail the defendant proceeded with a belligerent, profanity-laced tirade directed at both this Affiant and other deputies on scene. This included the defendant advising, "When I get out I will kill you all" and the defendant asking this Affiant ''You got a wife, you got kids, well I got a gun". The defendant was delivered to the Jail where he Is being held on a total bond of $6,000 as per the bond schedule. The defendant was issued a court date of 09032019, Courtroom D at the Hernando County Courthouse.

MONEY matters

at the city of Brooksville Special Meeting on July 26...

Revenue Projection for 2020 City Manager Mark Kutney said the review process is ongoing and there are some changes and additions that are pending. Interim Finance Director Autumn Sullivan said she used the good faith estimate for ad valorem taxes. Except for communication tax, all the state revenue figures have been received.

Kemerer asked about the revenue from Duke Energy and electric public service taxes. The budget appears to run up to $130,000 under the revenue. Sullivan agreed to review the figures.

Discussion of 2019 Fire Department Expenses Sullivan stated the Fire Department has been fully staffed until recently. Looking at previous years, the budget failed to address holiday pay. This was approximately $33,000. Sullivan said this could account for part of the difference in the budget and actual expenses. Historically, the Fire Department was not fully staffed, so there was room in the budget to cover the holiday pay.

Fire Chief Ron Snowberger reminded Sullivan about the removal of health insurance from the budget and inclusion of legal fees.

Tentative Millage Rate Proposed Options Kutney stated that the City is at approximately day 26 of the 100 days to complete the TRIM (Truth in Millage) process. The

tentative millage rate is due to the Property Appraiser by 08/02/19. Kutney said the Property Appraiser’s good faith estimate was $430,500,000.00.

Kutney gave five tentative rates: 6.20 mil (current rate), 7.00 mil, 7.25 mils, 7.50 mils, and 7.75 mils. Since budget discussions are just beginning, he recommended using the 7.75 mils, stating it could be adjusted downward.

Kemerer was not pleased with the recommendation, saying raising taxes when the city has a surplus would cause issues with citizens. Brayton agreed but said there were still too many unknowns because of the Fire Assessment and any transfers from the general fund.

Brayton moved to set the TRIM notice at 7.75 mils. Vice Mayor Joe Bernardini seconded the motion. The motion was passed 4-1. Kemerer cast the “no” vote.

Purchase for Cemetery Division Kutney identified several items in the Cemetery’s 2019 budget that could be adjusted to pay for a commercial lawn mower with a six foot cut. Brayton moved to approve Kutney using $10,000 in the budget to purchase the lawn mower the department requires. Battista seconded the motion. The request was approved unanimously.

On August 14, 2018, the Board authorized the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) to apply for this grant. These funds will be used to purchase (1) In-Car Camera for Patrol and additional storage for Digital Evidence.

Told the DEO, grant no longer needed

Due to a lack of applicants and insufficient timeframe, Board Chairman Jeff Holcomb signed a letter to Federal Department of Economic Opportunity stating the county will not be utilizing the Community Development Block Grant for disaster recovery resulting from Hurricanes Hermine and Matthew and therefore would not be executing the associated Subgrant Agreement. The block grant was initially for an amount of $3 million, but was reduced to $1.719 million.

Subgrant agreement with City of Tampa approved in order to be eligible for certain homeland security grants The county has entered into a subgrant agreement with the city of Tampa to be able to apply for federal Homeland Security grants under the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI). Counties that are part of the Tampa Bay UASI are eligible to apply for federal grants that are intended to improve the responsiveness and effectiveness of law enforcement, emergency medical services, emergency management, fire service, hazardous materials teams, public works, public safety communications, healthcare and public health.

Explorer K-8 Sidewalk Project grant An agreement supplemental between FDOT and the county has been received so that funding can now be distributed for construction activities associated with the Explorer K8 School Project.

the Feasibility Analysis and Due Diligence study, which determined that the existing parking structures are roughly one-half of what is needed.

Expanding the number of parking spaces could result in more revenue for the county in the form of paid parking.

The county currently has contracts pending on the piece of triangular-shaped property at the apex of Caliente street and Petit Lane (“Parcel 1�), and the property directly north, designated as “Parcel 2.� The two other congruent parcels are directly adjacent, each north of “Parcel 2.� While the northernmost “Parcel 4� would be closest to the existing parking structures, there is no guarantee that the county will be able to purchase the land. Commissioner Steve Champion expressed confidence that the parcels to the south could be used.

Fixing problems on Petit Lane came up several times during the discussion, although which exact problems to be remedied were not discussed.

Coastal Engineering President Cliff Manuel spoke

Aug. 9- 15, 2019 hernandosun.com THE HERNANDO SUN to the board both as a boater and an engineering professional. Manuel stressed that if the land were purchased by other commercial entities and developed, the county would miss their chance on expanding parking. “You won’t have a 4-acre parcel for $400,000 ‌ (it will) get to the point where you can’t develop anymore.â€?

Commissioner Steve Champion agreed with Manuel, and said that investing in Gulf access is important following other investments that the county has made recently, most notably the artificial reef enhancements almost directly east of Hernando Beach. Champion then motioned that the county pursue the purchase of the other two parcels. “We don’t have to do it all at one time. I think we need to get the land. Maybe in steps, when we can afford it, we do the rest of it.� Champion went on to say that if the land was purchased without a parking lot added, at least emergency parking could be put in place.

Jodie Pillarella questioned the financial prudence of considering such a purchase at the present time, with the county’s finances being in a precarious state. Pillarella said that in her 29 years of residence in the area, she only sees overflow parking

on roadways during holiday weekends. “You’re broke!

And you want to spend millions of dollars on property just in case of a ‘worst case scenario’ for boat parking?

Pillarella also added that most problems have arisen with incoming boaters vying for space to load their boats onto trailers at the end of the day, rather than finding parking and launch space.

Another resident reminded the board that Hernando Beach is a residential area, and questioned if the neighborhood could withstand any more boat traffic. Parking places aside, there are only four places from which to launch boats, which also see congestion during peak times.

Aquatics Manager Keith Kolasa reported that more reef development is planned, including the addition of 15 sites, and a possible Blue Water recreation site. Kolasa’s department has roughly $4.6-million slated in future projects.

Dukes agreed that Hernando Beach is primarily residential, and said, “But the county didn’t spend $15 million dollars (in previous years) to upgrade the canals for (only) the residents of Hernando Beach ‌ I think we should make it as good as we can for Hernando County.â€?

Hepatitis A, on the rise in Florida

By SUE QUIGLEY HERNANDO SUN REPORTER On Aug. 1, 2019, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Scott Rivkees declared a public health emergency to address the increase in Hepatitis A cases in Florida. According to the State Of Florida Department Of Health Declaration, the decision was taken because as of July 27, 2019, more than 2,582 cases of hepatitis A have been reported in Florida.

“I am declaring this Public Health Emergency as a proactive step to appropriately alert the public to this serious illness and prevent further spread of Hepatitis A in our state,” said Florida Surgeon General Dr. Scott Rivkees.

“The best way to prevent hepatitis A is through vaccination. It is important that we vaccinate as many high-risk individuals as possible in order to achieve herd immunity. I will continue to work with Governor DeSantis and Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez to take proactive steps to protect the health of Florida’s residents and visitors.”

The critically impacted areas are Brevard, Citrus, Glades, Hernando, Hillsborough, Lake, Liberty, Manatee, Marion, Martin, Okeechobee, Orange, Pasco, Pinellas, Sumter, Taylor, and Volusia Counties.

What is Hepatitis A? Hepatitis A is a vaccinepreventable, communicable disease of the liver caused by the Hepatitis A virus (HAV).

The virus is found in the stool (feces) of people with HAV infection. It enters the body through the mouth after someone handles something contaminated with HAV, or eats or drinks something contaminated with HAV. Hepatitis A is common in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and eastern Europe.

People usually contract the virus by having close

ORDINANCES matter PLANNING AND ZONING DIRECTOR RONALD PIANTA Second Public Hearing to Consider Ordinance Amending Land Development Regulations Regarding Subdivision Regulations The board voted 5-0 to continue this hearing for 30 days to allow multiple people and agencies time for proper review.

Commissioner John Mitten questioned if stakeholders have had enough time to review the changes and provide feedback, given the short time span since the June meeting.

Planning Director Ron Pianta reported that a deadline to pass the ordinance is not in place.

Realtor and member of the Hernando County Business Alliance, Buddy Selph asked the board for another 30 days to review the ordinance, due to the numerous changes to review and discuss for understanding.

The purpose of the ordinance is to change language that was regarded as restrictive, deleting words such as “must” and “shall” and to expand and clarify sections relating to half-streets, cul-de-sacs and other roadway concerns. The 14-page ordinance contains numerous other deletions and additions that aim to reduce the length of the ordinance and provide better description.

IN, OUT & ABOUT

The Buck Stops Here Let the Red Mule Kick Some Flavor Into Your Mouth

BY JA KARBER HERNANDO SUN WRITER Dark. Dusky. And dimly lit, Brooksville’s famous Red Mule Pub never falls short of living up to its reputation of a cozy and hazily welcoming ambiance, not to mention a total grand slam of a menu that offers a uniquely “Chicago-style flare.” Regardless of what you order, where you sit, or who you’re with, there’s no denying that this spunky little donkey offers a swift – as well as satisfying – solid hoof to the stomach that will rock your taste buds in a way you simply can’t forget.

So the basic low-down is pretty simple: The Red Mule is approximately 40 years old, and has only undergone one or two major changes in its near half-a-century run. It is open every day of the week, Mondays through Thursdays from 10AM to 8PM, Fridays and Saturdays from 10AM to 9PM, and Sunday 11AM to 4PM. They offer delivery, takeout, beer on tap, outdoor seating, free Wi-Fi, catering, and even a television above the bar you can watch on those special Sundays during football season where good food and the game are the only things on your mind. The Red Mule also caters to groups, has a pleasantly quiet noise level, takes reservations, and accepts all major credit cards.

However, the most noteworthy thing about this quaint and pleasant little restaurant is their undeniably first-rate food mixed with perfectly orchestrated memorabilia all over the walls. A mere second after you open the front door, The Red Mule’s atmosphere wraps around all your senses and whisks you away into its ultra mellow and inviting world. When it comes to restaurants that choose the often overdone and cliché decision of decorating their

interior walls with tons of crazy claptrap to come off as hip (stuff like stop signs, traffic lights, and “no loitering” posters) most people think of TGI Friday’s, Applebees, or some other generic chain businesses. Yes, The Red Mule, could be guilty of this too, but manages to pull it off tastefully and charmingly and that combined with the warmth and glowing vibe of the café, fills you with an overwhelming feeling of relaxation and easygoingness that you can’t find anywhere else in Hernando County. In fact, the remembrances that this one-of-kind little sandwich place has splattered all over its walls (and tables) actually adds not just to its ambiance or atmosphere, but also to its overall welcoming factor, too. Unlike other places, The Red Mule actually furnishes its interior with interesting memorabilia, often of local significance.

Local newspaper clippings, photos of the county and beloved personalities like Jerome Brown. The cover of Donald Trump’s book, The Art of the Deal is hung prominently above the entrance doorway for all to see as well as the Trump version of Monopoly. A first edition Harley’s Sportster Motorcycle hangs proudly above the bar and one can view a poster that explains the difference between a donkey and a

mule. This bar succeeds so tremendously where most chain restaurants fail solely for the fact that there’s thought put into their décor.

In some ways, The Red Mule may seem like a biker bar upon first glance, yet upon closer inspection, all you need to be one of the gang is a decent appetite and an ounce of curiosity about your surroundings.

In addition to its delightfully eclectic environment, what really adds to this restaurant is the food, service, and that good old “hole-in the-wall charm” that The Red Mule so gleefully serves up. But most importantly, the meal selection at this eatery is so first rate you’ll have to come back again and again many times just to get a taste of what this pub truly has to offer. This café’s five-star menu is so jam-packed full of irresistible entrees that you’ll need at least a dozen visits to appropriately sample it’s entire selection.

Of course your best bet at experiencing all this place has to offer is to order the meal The Red Mule is best known for: their Reuben, their signature dish.

It is cooked to pure and savory perfection. For those making their first visit to The Red Mule, one should consider starting with this. It is topped with ample amounts of Thousand Island dressing, tender, juicy, and succu-

lent strips of corn beef on toasted bread with luscious amounts of sauerkraut.

Accompanying this sandwich and all others is a sliced pickle and a bag of potato chips – both of which make great additions to your meal by cutting them up, opening up the sandwich, and layering them on the meat. No joke, this kind of sandwich melts before it hits your mouth.

If you’re not drooling at your dish by the time it arrives, you’re not at The Red Mule.

The Red Mule combines that old “hole-in-the-wall” feeling with fabulous. You can look at the photos provided. Yes, eating outside

is possible, but you don’t dine on a patio or even on a deck. You’re merely sitting in a chair, with a tiny round table, at the foot of a sidewalk. So when you decide to check it out for yourself, make sure you keep your eyes peeled for the big red sign “Red Mule,” scrawled in bold letters above the doorway and windows. If there’s any criticism to be made here, it’s the restaurant’s lack of visibility.

The Red Mule is worth more than the money you’ll end up spending there, on any kind of dish.

Each item on the menu is delicious, the ambiance is worth your time and the service is quick, top-notch,

Three Days of Peace & Music

Civilian Response to Acive Shooter DAY SESSION - 09-05-19 - 10am to 12:30pm The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office will be hosting

an information session on Civilian Response to Active Shooter. Recent events have called attention to the need to be prepared for a wide range of emergencies. Communities across the country have reassessed their level of preparedness and established broader training and education programs. At the HCSO, deputies have been training for years to respond to an active shooter incident, training that is routinely reinforced with exercises.

Sheriff Al Nienhuis and the men and women of the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office want to emphasize that your awareness and preparedness is as important as our training in keeping your community safe. Should an incident like this occur, there could be crucial minutes of time before law enforcement officers arrive on the scene.

Law Enforcement Officers from the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office will share information from the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, and the FBI, along with videos on how to react to an active shooter incident.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a notepad and pen as they may want to take a few notes.

To reserve your seat, please follow the link below. http://www.hernandosheriff.org/applications/InternetClassSignup/ Please note – Firearms are NOT permitted in the building. Attendees should be 15 years or older.

The word is out! One of the coolest summer festivals to come along, Spirit of Woodstock, is all set to premier this summer, August 16-18, 2019 at the beautiful and rustic Sertoma Youth Ranch, 85 Myers Road, Brooksville, FL. Three days of phenomenal music, exciting children's activities, groovy contests, fantastic vendors, water misting stations and so much more. Camping is optional but single and weekend passes are available. Great news! If you don’t own an RV or Travel Trailer, and would like to camp, Giant Recreation World is the official RV Sponsor and they have a deal for you.

Sierra Club Adventure Coast Group Gulf Coast Ecosystems Sea Level Rise Impacts Field Trip/Outing Saturday, August 31, 2019, 9:00 am to 12:00 noon Join us for our next Sierra Club Adventure Coast Outing led by Outings Leader Eugene Kelly on Sat. Aug 31 from 9am--noon.

Location: Meet at Bird Creek Beach on County Road 40/Follow That Dream Parkway, located near the mouth of the Withlacoochee River in Yankeetown, FL. Turn right into the park just before the road ends at the boat ramp (Latitude 29.002, Longitude -82.758).

Description: The goal of this 3-hour trip is to familiarize participants with the coastal ecosystems and prominent species of Florida’s magnificent, unspoiled Big Bend coastline, and to observe some of the ecological consequences of sea level rise and other climate related changes on those systems. The trip will begin at Bird Creek Beach. We will observe the impacts of sea level rise not obscured by the “noise” of large tidal fluctuations, human-induced declines in groundwater levels, topographical relief or other confounding factors. Be sure to bring your cameras because the landscapes are breathtaking! —truly a wild coast.

Bring footwear you won’t mind getting wet and muddy because we will spend some time walking into the salt marsh and the mud will be unavoidable. A pair of rubber boots would be perfect. Also bring other footware to change into later. Our final stop will be to climb the observation tower at the Withlacoochee Gulf Preserve. Restrooms (port-o-lets) are available at Bird Creek Beach and the Withlacoochee Gulf Preserve.

Directions: Take State Road 40/Follow That Dream Parkway west from US19 in Inglis. Inglis is 15 minutes driving time north of Crystal River.

Bird Creek Beach is 6.5 miles driving time from US19. We will caravan to other stops located along the return path.

Please carpool to limit the number of vehicles.

Caution: It will be Florida in August, so bring drinking water, a hat, and sunscreen. Repellent is also highly recommended. Learn more on Facebook at Sierra Club Adventure Coast Group, email sierraadventurecoastcc@gmail.com or call 352 277-3330.

Gator Scouting

I’m here to tell you folks, I’d be fine with the rains letting up for a while. It’s almost gator season and with the water being up so high, the gators have dispersed into the backcountry, into the swamps and creeks where I can’t get my boat. Makes finding the really, big bulls kind of rough. Lots of gators out in the open water, but the trophies have moved deep into the flood plains.

So, for us gator guides, how can we get the big boys to come out and play? I have a couple tricks up my sleeve, that seem to work more often than not and if you have tags to fill this year, you might want to try. Either technique may potentially help you fill a tag while affording you the opportunity to increase the size of your gator.

First off, and I hang baits. Not with hooks, which would be illegal, nor with pegs with the intent of catching the big boys. I hang baits near the entrances to the narrow backwater creeks flowing into the flooded areas a night or two prior to the hunt. I consult the weather forecast to determine the dominant wind patterns and place the baits where the scent will carry back to the big hungry brutes. Note too that feeding alligators is illegal, so the bait is placed higher up in the limbs of overhanging trees where the gators can’t reach it. Even though they’re unable to reach and eat the baits, the scent of it will keep them nearby and exposed.

Next, is by calling to them. Lots of hunters employ vocalizations of small alligators in distress, which can bring the older gators out for a look at what the problem may be. I will admit to you that I don’t know why they will come out.

I’ve had hunters with far more experience than myself tell me that they come out to defend the little guys they think are in trouble. Yet, I’ve had hunters with far more experience than myself tell me that the big bull gators respond out of cannibalistic intent looking for an easy meal of the youngster. But, whatever their reason for leaving safety and approaching the boat when they hear a small gator’s distress cries, they come; and that’s the whole point.

Once them oversized swamp-chickens make an appearance in the open water, there are a lot of ways of conducting the hunt. On my boat, we’ll be employing

Head coach Cory Johns is in his third football season at Nature Coast Tech. For the first game of the season, the Sharks travel to Sarasota on August 16.

BY MEL SUITER PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALICE MARY HERDEN

The weather in this part of the state of Florida, is unpredictable, it could be raining hard but just wait a minute because the storm will pass and the promise of a sunny day is waiting.

Like the weather, this year’s football season for Nature Coast Technical High School, is going to be unpredictable.

The excitement of a new beginning, for players and coaches; it is the best time of the season and really and who does not like the feel of something-brand new!

Forgotten is the heartbreak of last season. In the past are the mistakes which are long gone and that is the beauty of this time of the football season.

High school football fans are eagerly awaiting the start of Nature Coast Technical’s football season as we’ll get to see how the competition for quarterback plays out.

Last year’s starting quarterback Fabian Burnett Jr. and Vaughn Sykora who transferred from Weeki Wachee High School give the Sharks a couple options at quarterback.

Nature Coast Technical football coach Cory Johns believes that there is nothing wrong with healthy competition.

“Competition never hurt anyone and they are battling for it,” Johns said. “Burnett made us dangerous last year, he has been a starter for the last two years and he knows the offense. Both will play some throughout the season but will see who ends up winning the

job.”

Burnett led his team to the FHSAA Class 5A, Region II final where they faced Citrus North Marion, but lost on a last second field goal attempt.

Burnett produced 1,801 yards of total offense for the Sharks and scored 22 touchdowns for his team without turning over the football.

Sykora threw for 1,785 yards and 21 touchdowns, for the Hornets last year but this is a new season and he is with a new team.

Johns describes his offense as a multiple-style kind of offense, the Sharks will run a Wing-T, a little I-formation, they will also run an empty backfield, spread, quads and trips. It is just different looks with formations with the purpose of establishing the edges of the line of scrimmage.

NCT Head coach Cory Johns brings out the offense skills tool to executing offense plays during the sharks practice Thursday morning.

Johns had the offense working hard under the Florida morning sun but he said that this team has already established a personality.

“They have fun but they are able to most of the time focus on practice,” Johns said. “Come out with intensity and quickness especially without pads on, it is a hard thing to do to practice fast without pads.”

The offensive line is going to be a key ingredient to establish the offense for the Sharks, the group is led by guard Andre Dillard. The plan is simple enough: the Sharks’ offense wants to establish the edge of the line of scrimmage.

A solid running game, will be able to help the passing game, which is also looking to control the edges of the line of scrimmage.

Johns said that 11 starters will be back on defense and he is optimistic about the defense because

in the spring game his defense only allowed 63 yards and no points.

The defensive line is big and can move across the line of scrimmage in a hurry and according to Johns are pretty good.

“Defense- we are probably further along than our offense,” Johns said.

“They have progressed more than I thought that they would. We went to a team camp and scrimmaged other people two weeks ago that gave us a kind of an edge for us.

They are ahead where I expected them to be.”

Nature Coast Technical starts the season Friday night August 16, with a road trip to Sarasota, the game is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.

Johns is hoping that his team remains focus but are ready to have fun playing the game of football. He hopes his team will be as unpredictable to the Sarasota defense as the Florida weather.

Focused and ready for the 2019 season, Head coach Cory Johns preps his defense during practice on Thursday morning.

saltwater spinning combos to pitch weighted treble hooks over the gator in hopes of snagging him.

Once he’s on the line, we just let him drag the boat around while we reel in and close the distance until we can get within range to thrust a harpoon into him and secure a heavy hand line to him.

It’s at this point that the fighting begins; he

will go all out on an offensive to kill and eat us. The deck is truly stacked against the big lizards, but the fight can get dangerous if we lose focus for just an instance.

Eventually, he’ll tire out and give you the opportunity to make the kill with a tap on the noggin from a bang stick. After which, we can only hope to be headed back to the

boat ramp with a monster we can be proud of- for having made the river just a little bit safer for everybody else.

I surely thank you for all of your input and as always, if you have any feedback, give me a shout at Toby@HernandoSun.com.

God Bless and Good Hunting!

Coach Kaz takes pride in Leopard tradition, community

Known to many as Coach Kaz, Robert Kazmier kicks off his second season as head football coach for Hernando Leopards.

His coaching experience began at nineteen, volunteering on the sidelines at Nature Coast Tech.

“I was around those really good teams, and I’ve seen the possibilities of the talent in this area,” Kazmier said.

“But I always had my

eye on Hernando because it’s that real community school.”

There are times when coaches know where they need to be, where they fit. They get this gut feeling, when they are standing on the fifty-yard line, surveying the field, they know this is it, this is home.

“The big concrete stadium, the field, the community, the tradition, and the history is what intrigued me about this place,” he said.

The feeling of “this is where I need to be” goes along with building not

only a football program but bringing in the community to be a part of the team.

“We are really trying to bring the community together; we do a lot of events,” Kazmier said.

“We always try to be visible at everything that is going on in Brooksville, and we want to teach these kids there’s more than football. That’s really what my goal is.”

“Working under so many people as a young coach, I kind of picked up pieces here and there, I see what everybody’s doing. But you know, I think you really got to be a representative of what kids you have in your area,” explained Kazmier.

Coach Kaz is also focused on communication both on and off the field.

“We really have good communication. I am never going to push aside an idea or something they (players and coaches) want to talk about. I think communication is huge and to make sure the players know we care.”

The 2019 Leopard roster may be a challenge for Coach Kaz as he has players coming out of JV to fill in open varsity positions. Their first game against Dunnellon, in the Kickoff Classic, will be the first test of how Kazmier utilizes this rotation and how well he can develop the skills of the less experienced players.

“We are very junior heavy. We have some guys coming up from JV from last year that will have to step up. We knew it would be difficult replacing that backfield.”

The Leopards face two strong and athletically packed teams back to back with Dunnellon on Aug. 16 and Lake Gibson, the following Friday.

“We start off with two

Volleyball coach Andrea Kneser returns to Hernando County

SOLUTIONS ON PAGE 15

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALICE MARY HERDEN Former Bradenton Christian Coach Andrea Kneser comes back to Hernando County as Springstead High School’s new head volleyball coach.

“I knew one day maybe my path would cross back with Hernando County,” said Kneser whose first volleyball coaching position was with Central High School in Brooksville.

After graduating from Webber International College, an injury that led to a full knee replacement put her plans to further her career playing International Beach Volleyball to a halt. But that injury

didn’t stop her from being involved in the sport that she loved.

“I went straight into the coaching ranks,” Andrea said. “I coached underneath some leadership at Winterhaven High School, but I took my first coaching job at Central High School.”

In 2013, Andrea took the position as head volleyball coach at Central High School, but unfortunately, it lasted just a year since she had to commute from Bradenton and couldn’t put in the time the team needed. She continued her coaching closer to home at Bradenton Christian in 2015, where Andrea built the Panthers’ volleyball program. In 2018 she ended her fourth season

as Panther head volleyball coach, advancing the Division 3A team from 31st to 11th in State Division rankings.

Just a couple of days before the official Eagles tryouts, Andrea and a group of girls participated in a threeday team camp at USF (University of South Florida) in Tampa.

“We partnered with Courtney Draper, (USF head volleyball coach) and her college team for a three-day team camp.

She is a great mentor and a role model of mine,” Andrea said.

“It really exceeded my expectations. It was a great experience, and we got to learn a lot about each other.”

As for the coaches participating in the

camp, they received some valuable tips from USF head volleyball coach Courtney Draper.

“I always learn from her. She had coaching strategy sessions, one every night, where she met with the coaches. It was a round table forum.

It got my wheels turning on how I have run offense and defense in my high school teams. But she was able to break it down to what she has See KNESER, Page 13

Making Dreams Come True

By MEL SUITER HERNANDO SUN WRITER She respects the game, she honors the game by playing hard and by all definition-she is a ball player.

As a student-athlete playing on the school’s softball team, Jean’a Mobley, 19, graduated from Hernando High School in 2018.

Mobley did not hang up her cleats after graduation.

Mobley received an invitation that was extended to her from her current teammate Jadyn Clark, to join her team as a player for the Major League Baseball sponsored Reviving Baseball in Inner City last season, the Tampa Bay Rays softball team.

Just like last summer, this year’s team will be playing in the 2019 Major League Baseball-RBI World Series and just like last season the Rays are looking to repeat as champions.

At the start of this year's baseball season, The Major League Baseball-RBI Program is 31 years old and started in South Central Los Angeles under the direction of former baseball player for the Detroit Tigers and scout John Young. He felt that there was no interest in playing baseball in urban areas.

For the first tryout, only 11 players showed up, as there was no confidence that the program would be successful.

With Young's dedication and hard work to guarantee the success of the program, this program has expanded with 150,000 young men and women playing the game of baseball or softball. Major League Baseball joined Young's program in 1991 and helped with getting some corporate sponsorship and acquiring baseball equipment.

The mission of the program is to increase participation and interest in baseball and softball among underserved youth.

The program promotes greater inclusion of youth with diverse backgrounds into the game.

Another goal of the program is to increase the number of talented athletes playing in college or professionally, by encouraging school work and achievement and teaching the value of teamwork.

Mobley says, she believes in the goals of the program, she leads by example for the younger players that play for the Rays.

When she plays the game, she wants to provide a positive example for the younger players, with a philosophy that the younger players can witness-that you can always give back to your community.

“It is good to have different options, there are two baseball leagues and one softball league,” Mobley said. “It is nice for kids to have a place to go,

they’re just not at home playing video games.

Those kids can come out and play baseball or softball and get into it early.”

Mobley describes her game as a power hitter at the plate but she really likes to play her position at first base. It is her contribution to her team, doing all that she can do, to make the play at first by making good picks and catching the ball with her mitt.

“I really like picking the ball at first base,” Mobley said. “Like if a teammate makes a really good play and then if they make a bad throw, then being able to come up with it, shows that I got their back.

With an undefeated season under their baseball caps, there is really no misconceptions about this team. When these Rays take command of the field they like to set the tone early against the opposition.

“We are upbeat,” Mobley said. “We set the tone early they say ‘who are these girls!’”

The experience playing for the softball Rays has given Mobley and her teammates an opportunity to make some special memories and appreciate the support from the major league team, Tampa Bay Rays.

The softball team has been a guest of the major league club, the Tampa Bay Rays, to watch baseball games, tours of the clubhouse and meeting players at Tropicana Field. They have also been able to participate in special community events that have been sponsored by the Rays.

“We played a game against the wives of Tampa Bay Rowdies

in a slow pitch game at Tropicana Field,” Mobley said. “Through the RBI, we do the ‘Joy of Giving’ at Raymond James Stadium, we’ve been doing that every year during Christmas time, giving out toys and stuff.”

Mobley and the Tampa Bay Rays softball team will get started early Sunday morning Aug 11, at 8 a.m. against the winner of the Mid-Atlantic Regional winner, the RBI of Greater Harrisburg in the city of Vero Beach, Fla. They will take

the field again Sunday night, under the lights against the winner of the Central 2 Regional representing the Great Lakes and the state of Ohio, the Cleveland Baseball Federation RBI. The first pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m.

They are ball players and you can see that. It is evident from the deep emerald grass stains on their knees of their pants, the bright red dirt on the uniform shirt that gets dark red because of the sweat and the strawberry worn as a badge of pride on their arm.

There is no mistake about this team or with Mobley, these ladies of the diamond really love the game of softball and inside a city park in the city of Vero Beach, they are determined to make their Field of Dreams come true.

Coach Andrea Kneser ends a pow-wow talk before the girls take part in a variety of skills and drills. “I knew it would be the best privilege to coach for a school like Springstead, and I never thought that the opportunity would present itself.”

The free school supplies included folders, crayons, notebooks, binders and of course backpacks of all colors. The event featured a bounce house, face painting, balloon animals, free hot dogs and water, the slushie truck, vouchers for school physicals and vouchers for haircuts from Bene’s Beauty Academy.

“I am so glad to be able to volunteer for something for the kids. Most of us all have kids, events like this help,” said Michele Murray, a student at Bene’s Beauty Academy.

“I love helping host this event and many others.

Many people find this to be helpful. I love being able to see and help the kids get the basic things they need to succeed,” Richie said.

The event runs very smoothly in the mall.

There is just one long line of kids and parents going through collecting their new supplies. You start with a backpack, then walk in the line to the tables where you pick up additional supplies to fill the backpack.

“The event was easy going, fast, included nice people to chat with, very organized, and my kids loved it,” said Daisy Coles.

One of the sponsors at the event, local attorney Matthew Foreman, has tried to help at the event every year.

This year he helped distribute crayons to the kids.

Foreman was previously a member of the school board. “I love supporting a good cause, being able to give back,” Matthew said.

With summer coming to an end and school starting back up, this event was a chance to get the kids excited for the school year.

“Our hearts are in it for the children, we are blessed to be able to help,” said Walter Butler owner of The Computer Butler, a popular computer shop in the mall.

Hope everyone has a great school year!

Universal announces creation of fourth theme park The new park will be called ‘Universal’s Epic Universe’

BY HERNANDO SUN STAFF

In an announcement Thursday, Aug. 1, 2019, Universal Orlando Resort is building a new, fourth, theme park to be called Universal’s Epic Universe. Their vision is to create an entirely new level of experience that forever changes theme park entertainment.

In this ambitious project, Universal’s Epic Universe will take guests on a journey where beloved stories expand into vibrant lands – and where that journey is as much a part of their adventure as the ultimate destination.

“Our new park represents the single-largest investment Comcast NBCUniversal has made in its theme park business and in Florida overall,” said Brian L. Roberts,

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Comcast Corporation. “It reflects the tremendous excitement we have for the future of our theme park business and for our entire company’s future in Florida.”

The new theme park will also feature an entertainment center, hotels, shops, restaurants and more. It will be located within a larger 750-acre site that nearly doubles Universal’s total available acreage in Central Florida.

Universal’s Epic Universe is just a few miles from the existing resort in Southwest Orange County. Specifically, it will be south of Sand Lake Road and east of Universal Boulevard.

“Our vision for Epic Universe is historic,” said Tom Williams, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for Universal Parks & Resorts. “It will build on everything we have done and become

the most immersive and innovative theme park we have ever created. It is an investment in our business, our industry, our team members and our community.”

The new park was announced Thursday in an event attended by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings, Tom Williams and Brian Roberts.

Universal Orlando currently employees 25,000 people and will hire an additional 14,000 team members as part of Epic Universe, including professional, technical, culinary and other specialized positions. The company currently contributes more than $302 million in annual state and local taxes – a number that will nearly double when the new theme park opens.

Keep checking The Hernando Sun for more details about Universal’s Epic Universe.

See, the Army National Guard is sending her on a training exercise in Indonesia. I find this remarkable and noteworthy. This woman is the epitome of her slogan #ServiceAboveSelf. I hope my fellow Hernando County residents, regardless of party affiliation will join me in applauding her dedication to her commitments and her country.

Paint That Tune by J. A. Merkosky With an earthquake's magnitude, Reds and oranges invigorate my senses, Like an orchestra of brass and strings In perfect accord with each other.

Written words are as paint on a canvas. A, melody of life-high notes of yellow Shouting out their happiness, Celebrating each day's new beginning.

Symbolizing life itself, green's crescendo Graces my ears with perfect pitch.

The pen glides across my mind's palette Written words are as paint on a canvas.

Intoxicating my senses, blue touches blue.

Waves reach up to touch the s�y In as fine a tune as a symphony orchestra.

The sound energizes my creativity.

Gracing the memory of times past Are shades of indigo and violetTheir gentle, soothing melodies Cradle my soul in a rainbow of harmony.

There is already a process to earn citizenship Progressives are arguing that anyone who wants to enter the United States should be welcomed with open arms. It does not matter to them whether an illegal will be a positive addition to our nation or a negative anti-social parasite. Everyone who wants to invade the US should have the “right” to do so. The US has no right to its own sovereignty, as it should be a global world without borders.

These globalists have no allegiance to America or any nation. Most of these globalists have never considered the implications of how a world without nations would function and survive. They insist that a one-world government without limits of power and citizen protection is better than our constitution.

Following your local government

My wife got cats the other day, two kittens. I’m pissed.

Now I can’t kick dog toys out of my way without first looking down to make sure the thing isn’t alive. I sometimes made a game of it, soccering the toys around furniture over to the wicker basket, the “goal,” under the low, narrow table located just inside the living room. The toys are too small for me to trip over, but I don’t like stepping on them, especially the ones that squeak. Now it’s no longer a fun nuisance.

I don’t know what part of “I no longer want animals in the house,” she doesn’t understand, but clearly she suffers from selective comprehension when I tell her things. The only way I’ll play with her cats is if I get a laser pointer and can spin them in circles and then turn it off at the base of the couch, where they will exercise for some time- reaching under there trying to grab the red dot with their clawing paws before they fall asleep.

Then I can be free of them for at least two hours. And since my wife likes to wear short pants at home, I’m going to run that light up her bare legs, just to express my displeasure in a nonverbal way. (No, no, not really. Well, maybe.

Yeah I’m gonna.)

The beauty of a clear conscience

The beauty of a clear conscience In every sense, we can say that our conscience is much more important than we think. In fact, one of the challenges within our human development is that we are seldom taught to consider our conscience at all. I want to intentionally make a big deal about our conscience because I consider it to be one of our highest treasures. How so? We’ve all seen the cartoons that portray the person trying to decide if they should be bad or good along with the angel sitting on one

along with food for wheel rats (gerbils and such) perch rats (parakeets and such) and water rats (fish). To any other arrangement, I say balderdash. I especially hated trying to display hummingbird feeders. They’re top-heavy and don’t sit well on wire shelves, and you should never whistle while stocking them for your airy tune will knock them over every time. And feeders for birds that don’t See GOOFY, Page 20

shoulder and the devil on the other. Actually, this scenario represents each of us and the inner turmoil of trying to choose which path to take exposes the war between rebellious temptations and the awareness of doing what is right. What is rarely clarified in this popular presentation is how the angel represents God’s perfect truth and though everyone can have a basic comprehension of right and wrong, it is difficult to understand God’s voice especially if an individual has not personally accepted Christ into their life as Lord and Savior. In this light, we comprehend that everyone’s conscience is directly associated with their spirit. Some have a value system that is based on emotions and philosophy while others follow and embrace where God guides. As pain sensors tell our brain that something is wrong in our body, the conscience also works with the Holy Spirit as a security system that reminds God’s children when they have sinned and warns them if they are even contemplating about being bad. Obeying God is the beauty of a clear conscience.

I have often mentioned how important it is to cultivate and maintain our thoughts. The mind is not only the area of all our ideas and intentions but is the battlefield where we are constantly making critical decisions. To not be concerned about incorporating mental discipline and allowing God to help us renew our mind, we are ignoring one of the most

from starting with a low rate and then raising it at the end of the process.

The governmental body would be able to tout for months that they were lowering your taxes, before raising them at the last second. The fact that the rate can only be decreased means that government bodies generally set the initial rate higher than they expect to need, so that if a significant need is discovered during the budgeting process it is possible to pay that expense.

Another rule that has been established is that only recurring revenue should be used to hire staff.

crucial responsibilities in this life. George Bernard Shaw is quoted, “A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me, there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, the one I feed the most.” If the conscience is another word for the heart, we can agree that whichever we choose to use, it involves the deepest part of who we are. I personally believe the mind is the ultimate control center but the conscience can influence and persuade our decisions. Let us not forget the individual who has invited Christ into their life also has God’s presence as the most important influence to help manage and control. Again, the best-case scenario is when a person allows their conscience to be controlled through the Lord. I remember watching an interview years ago and the person was asked to talk about their faith and to give their personal interpretation of sin. They replied, “Being out of line with my values.” This is hardly a solid answer theologically because right and wrong are not based on human values. It’s true that following our conscience is trustworthy when it obeys God’s desires, however, this answer was referring to the act of someone's conscience being violated or compromised.

Sin has everything to do with us choosing our

things. The analogy of a color makes it clearer that there are different categories of money and each can only be spent on certain items.

Having this background is useful when trying to follow the budget process. It is important to understand the limitations that are involved in the budgeting process, otherwise it may appear that the government representatives are not considering alternatives.

However this might be because those alternatives are not allowed.

own will over God’s will.

In a fallen world that is filled with distractions, we realize that a clear conscience is associated with spiritual peace and contentment. Carl Jung is quoted as saying, “Through pride, we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience, a still small voice says to us, something is out of tune.” The world’s motto declares how they cannot obtain satisfaction and within this default disposition, we find that no class of society is immune from this reality. When wrong ideas are planted, wrong attitudes are easily developed such as the idea that the more possessions a person gathers, the more contentment we will have. Nothing could be further from the truth. So how can we be set free from the misery of a deceived and calloused conscience?

We can ask God to save us from ourselves.

“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God” Hebrews 9:14.

PROM

from page 1 The Kiwanis Club of Spring Hill sponsored the prom. The organization paid for the refreshments, posters, balloons, backdrops and other supplies.

Club president, Donna Gaula and another member, Roseann Jones, along with Angela Bryant decorated the center, spending more than four hours inflating countless balloons and putting up the decorations.

Thomas Assante, owner of Spring Hill Limousine Service, provided three limos to give rides for the attendees at no cost. Good Will and Jericho Road Thrift Shops donated prom dresses.

Hair stylists and nail technicians from Benes Career Academy came and did the hair and nails for many of the women. In

addition to donating their time for this event, every eight weeks the students come to the Arc center and give free haircuts and manicures.

PJ Lobato (PJ, the DJ) donated his time to be the disc jockey. He has been volunteering his services at the Arc for the past six years.

In keeping with the theme, Arc customers had been learning and practicing the Virginia Reel for the past several weeks.

In art class, they made boutonnieres for the men and wrist corsages for the women.

As the attendees socialized and got ready for the dancing, a DVD of Gone With the Wind played in the background.

Doreen Lyons, one of the Arc customers commented, "Getting dressed up was the best part."

Micheal Reyes and Jeannie Garcia as Prom King and Queen.

GOOFY from Page 17

hum are just as difficult.

The gazebos are six-sided and so can’t sit close together, and you absolutely cannot stack them.

Last year at Old House and now at New House I’ve encountered an invasion of lizards.

My Exwork friend, Senor Cargador, keeps calling them Geckos, but they’re

not. They’re just tiny life forms from the long gone DNA of dinosaurs, but have for millennia pestered we evolving big-brains in our many versions of caves.

I don’t know what the lizards are eating—certainly not love bugs or fire ants or the moth caterpillars that keep munching my wife’s tomato plants—but they are everywhere outside. I’m always surprised

The Arc Nature Coast member Matt all dressed up for the occasion.

Sam Seymour stated, "I really liked the decorations and dancing with Doreen was fun too."

By the smiles on the faces of the men and women, it was evident that everyone had a delightful time.

The Arc Nature Coast was extremely grateful to those in the community who helped them put together the amazing event.

They posted to social media, “The Arc Nature Coast prom was a huge hit!

Thank you to Angela Bryant and her team for putting on such a great event! Thank you to Bene's Career Academy Spring Hill for coming out to do hair and nails and making our ladies feel beautiful!

Thank you to Spring Hill Limousine Service for allowing us to feel "fancy" in your amazing limousines! Thank you to the members of the Kiwanis Club of Spring Hill, FL for sponsoring and helping decorate and all the things you did behind the scenes.

Thank you to Hernando County Sheriff's Office SRO's who came out to escort the attendees! Thank by the sudden motion of them running and leaping away when I exit my home.

I can’t figure out the yard-ecology in this residential neighborhood, what eats what, so I’m reluctant to get rid of them; maybe they’re why I have so few bugs in my grass and shrubs (except those giant grasshoppers that seem unafraid of humans) and none inside.

The Arc Nature Coast staff and program/prom participants dancing the Virginia Reel.

you to Christine Jarque for the beautiful photos.

Thank you to all those who donated dresses and their time. Thank you to everyone who played a part in making this event so very special!”

Clifford Nehr is escorted to the limo by Sergeant Cinda Lillibridge.

Shadeliz Rodriguiz, Cosmetology student at Bene’s Career Academy curls Samantha Stapleton’s hair before the prom.

But the year before last and all the years before, I seldom saw a lizard, and now they are ubiquitous. I don’t know what the black garden snakes my wife is always panicking about are eating, but apparently it’s not those little reptiles.

All I know for sure is that I don’t personally feed the lizards, so they are not my pets.

Doreen Lyons dressed in theme (Gone with the Wind).

This was the first prom for the Lyons girls, so her mom, Eileen, went all out.
