state news in review STAFF REPORT

Hurricane Dorian was the Week's Main News Story Hurricane Dorian strengthened to a Category 5 hurricane gaining significant attention. The hurricane preparations led to gas shortages and stores selling out of hurricane supplies including water. Although as Hurricane Dorian approached Florida the models predicted that the west coast of Florida would be spared the brunt of the hurricane. This information greatly reduced residents' anxiety in the local area.

Hurricane Dorian's westward movement stalled out over the Bahamas lashing the islands for many hours causing catastrophic damage. The storm also significantly weakened during this time going from a Category 5 hurricane down to a category 2.

facilities were evacuated because local officials were concerned about their ability to withstand Hurricane Dorian.

The evacuation decisions were made at the local level.

The evacuation of the medical facilities became a priority after the tragedy at The Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills where twelve patients died because of the sweltering conditions at the facility following Hurricane Irma. The storm knocked out the power and the facility did not have a backup generator to run the air conditioning.

The hospitals that were evacuated are AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach, Health First Cape Canaveral Hospital, Cleveland Clinic South in Martin County, Port St. Lucie Hospital, Good Samaritan Medical Center in Palm Beach County, Stuart Sebastian River Medical Center and the Halifax Psychiatric Center North in Volusia County. These hospitals are near the coast and patients were moved to other facilities.

Governor Desantis Trying to Attract Chicago Companies to Florida

Florida Representative Blaise Ingoglia has Democratic Challenger for 2020

Governor Ron DeSantis is attempting to lure financialsector companies to Florida from Chicago. He plans to make three trips to Chicago and pitch potential companies on the benefits of moving to Florida.

Last year Governor Desantis made two trips to New York pitching the benefits of moving to Florida.

Governor Desantis' pitch will include pointing out the fiscal situation in Chicago and Illinois.

He will use Warren Buffett's warning against investing in areas that "have no way out in terms of their fiscal outlook, their pension allocations." The possibility of a return trip to New York and a trip to Connecticut are in the works.

Hernando Beach Democrat Keith Laufenberg has opened a campaign account to challenge for Hernando County’s House District 35 Seat.

Incumbent Florida Representative Blaise Ingoglia was first elected to the House District 35 Seat in 2014.

Hurricane Dorian Leads to the Evacuation of Medical Facilities State officials said that Hurricane Dorian had led to the evacuation of 72 nursing homes and assisted living facilities in addition to seven hospitals.

Only four of the facilities were evacuated because they lacked the emergency generators required by law. The other

Florida House Committee Assignments Announced Florida House Speaker Jose Oliva R-Miami Lakes has announced Committee Assignments for the 2020 legislative session. Rep. Mike Hill, R-Pensacola no longer sits on the House Public Integrity & Ethics Committee.

The PreK-12 Quality Subcommittee was eliminated, the chairman Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Naples received the chairmanship of the House Insurance & Banking Subcommittee. The former chairman of the House Insurance & Banking Subcommittee Cyndi Stevenson, R-Saint Johns received the chair of the House Oversight, Transparency & Public Management Subcommittee. The former chairman of the House Oversight, Transparency & Public Management Subcommittee Rep. Scott Plakon, R-Longwood will now chair the House Local Administration Subcommittee.

Florida Georgia Water Fight Arguments Rescheduled to October 17 The Special Master Judge Paul J. Kelly moved up arguments to October 17 in the six year long lawsuit between Florida and Georgia over water. The Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint river system originates in Georgia and provides water to Florida terminating in Apalachicola Bay. Florida alleges that Georgia is using too much water and the lack of water is damaging the Apalachicola Bay ecology and oyster industry. Judge Paul J. Kelly was appointed after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the 2017 recommendation by previous Special Master Ralph Lancaster.

Special Master Lancaster found that Florida had not proven "by clear and convincing evidence" that reducing water usage in Georgia would result in a benefit for the Apalachicola Bay. Special Master Kelly will provide his recommendation to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Federal Grant to Increase Health Insurance Enrollment Florida Covering Kids & Families was awarded a $1.3 million federal "navigator" grant to enroll uninsured residents in the Affordable Care Act's healthinsurance exchange. Florida Covering Kids & Families is an initiative of the Lawton and Rhea Chiles Center for Healthy Mothers and Babies at the University of South Florida (USF). Florida Covering Kids & Families was one of 34 organizations to receive a navigator grant. In 2013, Florida Covering Kids & Families received initial funding to create a Navigator program in Florida.

Six years later in 2019, Florida has 1.78 million residents enrolled in the federal insurance exchange, which is more than any other state.

November 1, 2019 is the beginning of the open enrollment period for health insurance for 2020. The open enrollment period for 2020 ends December 15, 2019.

The Office of Insurance Regulation announced that on average they do not expect any rate increase from 2019 to 2020.

Parking prohibited on weekends and holidays for portion of Ramada Street

by LISA MACNEIL lisa@hernadosun.com

Ramada Street in Weeki Wachee Gardens is a reverse L-shaped street with each end connected to Shoal Line Boulevard. The southernmost, east/west portion is essentially one-lane road due to right-of-way and environmental restrictions.

During weekends and holidays, visitors to the area have been using this section of Ramada Street for parking, which has resulted in obstruction of the road and hazardous passing.

Upon arrival I made contact with the victim The Victim and her mother. The Victim stated that she was at her boyfriend/defendant Johnathan Deroberts residence located at 4105 Dristol Avenue celebrating her birthday. The Victim stated that her and the defendant do not live together, but have been dating since 2014. The Victim stated that while she was in the kitchen at the defendant/ Johnathan's residence, she went to retrieve a bottle of Gentleman Jack Daniels out of the freezer and due to the bottle having condensation on it the bottle slipped out of her hand and breaking on the floor.

As a result of the bottle of Jack Daniels breaking, the defendant/ Johnathan became very irate at The Victim. The Victim stated that when the defendant became upset she attempted to leave his residence to go back to her residence locate down the road at 4015 Dristol Avenue. The Victim stated that when she tried to leave the defendant threw a mattress at her to keep her at the residence. The Victim stated that she was able to get around the mattress and again attempted to leave the residence. The Victim stated that at that time the defendant grabbed her by the throat with one hand and pushed her into the wall restricting her breathing. The Victim stated that she was able to get away but the defendant used his body weight to push into her to prevent her from leaving again. The Victim stated that while he was doing this, she was yelling at the defendant to get his hands off of her. The Victim stated that the defendant's father John M. Deroberts was present at the residence when this occurred and yelled at the defendant to let The Victim go. The Victim stated that the defendant then head-butted her. The Victim stated that she was then able to get out of the residence and while in the driveway the defendant was able to grab her again, at which time he head-butted her two more times. The Victim stated she was able to get away, at which time the defendant began hitting himself with a metal pipe.

At that time, The Victim stated the defendant got into his red two door Dodge truck and attempted to stop her with the vehicle. The Victim stated that at that time she called her mother, who was at the 4015 Dristol Avenue residence to tell her not to let the defendant in if he shows up.

The Victim stated that the defendant then showed up at her residence, at which time the defendant kicked the front door of the residence two times kicking the door in. The Victim stated that once the door was kicked in she was at the door, and the defendant grabbed her cell phone and smashed it and began walking away. The Victim stated that she followed him to the driveway where she was able to grab the phone back from him. The Victim stated that due to the defendant breaking her phone and making it inoperable, she had to then retrieve her mother's cell phone and call 911.

The Victim stated that when the defendant noticed she was calling 911 he got in his truck and left the area in an unknown direction. The Victim was given an intake date of 09/10/19 at 10:00 am.

It should be noted that

I observed The Victim to have blood on the right side of her forehead as well as swelling and light bruising. The Victim stated that the blood on her forehead was from the defendant. I also observed The Victim to have a small mark on her right eye.

I then made contact with the defendant at Oak Hill Hospital located at 11375 Cortez Blvd. I read the defendant his Miranda rights using my agency issued Miranda card at which he advised he would speak to me. The defendant stated that he got into a heated verbal argument with his girlfriend of several years The Victim. Johnathan then stated that during the argument that The Victim advised that she was going to leave and call the police. At which time he advised he kept The Victim inside the residence and did not want her to leave him. When the defendant was questioned about head butting The Victim he stated that yes he did do that but it was on accident because he was "losing his shit". The defendant then advised he removed The Victim's phone because he did not want her calling anyone, at which time he grabbed the phone breaking the screen and disabling the phone. The defendant also advised that after The Victim was able to leave his residence he chased her down to her residence located at 4015 Dristol Avenue. The defendant advised that due to him being upset and not wanting The Victim to leave he kicked the front door in however it was out of anger and was upset that he broke the door.

The defendant then advised that is when he left the scene and headed towards Oak Hill Hospital because he was planning on going out by suicide by cop. The defendant was then placed under arrest and transported to the Hernando County Jail where he was turned over to Sergeant Quiones, who was advised that the defendant made suicidal statements so the appropriate actions would be taken.

Just so heated LAWRENCE, JACE HUGH THEOMAR YOB: 1993 CHARGES: AGG ASSAULT/ ASSAULT/BATTERY PREGNANT PERSON Arrested at: 08/29/2019 01:30 LEMA DR, SPRING HILL, FL, 34609 Arrest Summary: On 08/28/2019, during a verbal altercation between the defendant, Jace Hugh Lawrence, and his wife/victim, The defendant became agitated because the victim would not turn off the light on her phone. The defendant walked up to the victim, snatched her cell-phone out of her hand, turned the light on the phone off and placed it on her night stand, walked back to his side of the bed and laid down. The victim then attempted to walk out of the bedroom and was upset and saying things under her breath.

The defendant asked the victim what she was saying and got out of the bed to walk toward her. The victim turned around and they began to argue again. The defendant then became irate and intentionally hit the bowl of fruit, which also contained a fork, out of the victim's hand causing the bowl to fall, and hit her belly. The victim is 36 weeks pregnant with their second child. The victim did endure a large visible scratch on her stomach and also had a couple of bruises above the scratch. It is unknown by both parties whether it was the bowl, fork, or the defendant's hand that caused the scratch/bruises. The victim also stated that the defendant was trying to prevent her from leaving their shared bedroom, and held her arms in order to do so. The victim did have visible scratches on both of her forearms consistent with her statement.

The defendant stated that he did not care if he hit the bowl or not, and was not thinking of the consequences of what hitting the bowl could do if it hit his pregnant wife. He advised that he was just so "heated" that he saw the bowl and hit it. The defendant did, on multiple occasions, advise that he knows the victim is pregnant. The defendant stated that once he saw what his actions caused, he tried to help her clean up the scratch, but the victim did not want him to touch her or help her.

The defendant was placed under arrest and transported to the Hernando County Detention

Center where he was charged with aggravated battery of a pregnant female person. The defendant was held without bond and issued a court date of 09/25/2019 at 0830HRS in Courtroom E.

Equal opportunity assault and battery NELSON, CRYSTAL L YOB: 1985 CHARGES: BATTERY ON LEO/OTHER OFFICER, ASSAULT ON LEO/ OTH OFFICER SIMPLE, DOMESTIC BATTERY, RESIST/ OBSTR OFFICER W/O VIOL Arrested at: 08/29/2019 06:53 3438 COMMERCIAL WAY, SPRING HILL, FL, 34606 Arrest Summary: To: wit, On 08/29/19 at 0535 hours, I was dispatched to Sealawn Dr. in reference to a domestic battery.

Upon arrival, I made contact with the victim, who explained that the defendant has been his live in girlfriend for a few months and that she was asked to move out earlier the same night where upon deputies responded to the residence because they were in a verbal altercation. That incident was settled on scene and the defendant agreed to move out, but she needed some time to gather her belongings. The victim further explained that he let the defendant back into the residence to allow her to gather her belongings when she became angry and attacked him by grabbing him by the neck and arms with her hands causing her finger nails to scratch his right upper bicep and the right side of his face. This offense occurred in the victim’s bedroom.

I observed the scratches on the victim’s face and arm. I took photographs of his injuries which were transferred to a digital media card and placed into Evidence. The victim provided a sworn written statement. The victim’s mother heard him tell her to call 911, which she then did.

The victim’s mother advised that she observed the defendant grabbing the victim, and the victim attempting to keep her from striking him.

The defendant had left the residence on foot prior to my arrival. Deputy Z. Burkhart later located the defendant walking down Toucan Trail, near the parking area of Thousand Island Cafe located at 3438 Commercial Way. I responded to his location and placed the defendant into handcuffs.

The defendant then became verbally abusive. Deputy Z. Burkhart and I decided to escort her to my marked patrol vehicle, each of us holding one of her arms. Before getting her to my vehicle, the defendant continued to yell profanities at us and attempted to jerk away. We continued to escort her to my vehicle, and she continued to resist and yelling I'm going to kick you. The defendant tried to turn towards us, when we took her to the ground, by holding her arms to gain control of her. Once we gained physical control of her we helped her up and escorted her to my patrol vehicle. The defendant continued to resist without violence, but did continue to yell profanities and state that she was going to kick us. I opened the back door to my vehicle and told her to get in, but she refused. Deputy Z. Burkhart and I had to physically force her to sit in the vehicle while she continued to state that she was going to kick us. During this time, the defendant was attempting to kick me; however, I was able to move out of her way.

I grabbed her by the arm and swung her to the ground to prevent her from kicking again. As a result she struck the left side of her face on the curb. Deputy Z. Burkhart and I assisted her up where I visually inspected her for any injuries as a result of the use of force. All I observed was some redness to the left side of her face. We again attempted to place the defendant into my patrol vehicle. She again refused where upon Deputy Z. Burkhart held her in place with the door open and pushed her in the back seat, all while she was still resisting. I went to the other side of my patrol vehicle and pulled her by her arms into the patrol vehicle and went to the other side to assist Deputy Z. Burkhart in closing the door. As I came around to the side where Deputy Z. Burkhart was, the defendant had slid partially back towards Deputy Z. Burkhart. I observed the defendant

kick him in the chest with her foot causing him to stumble backwards, but he did not fall. I immediately grabbed her legs to keep her from kicking again. Once the defendant was inside my patrol vehicle, I requested EMS to evaluate the defendant for a possible head injury.

I notified Sergeant M. Alford of the use of force and she responded to our location.

Hernando County Fire Rescue, Engine 1 responded and did not observe any physical injury to the defendant. The defendant was uncooperative with EMS and continued to yell obscenities at the deputies and EMS. The defendant was placed back into my patrol vehicle where upon she attempted to kick out my back seat, driver side window, however, I was able to get to her before she damaged it.

Leg restraints were applied to the defendant's legs to prevent her from kicking again.

The defendant was arrested for domestic battery, resisting without violence, assault on a law enforcement officer and battery on a law enforcement officer.

I transported the defendant to the Hernando County Jail without further incident, while she continued to yell obscenities at me.

The defendant is being held on a No Bond status for the domestic battery, $1,000.00 bond for resisting without violence, $1,000.00 bond for assault on a law enforcement officer and $5,000.00 bond for battery on a law enforcement officer.

The defendant was provided a court date of 09/25/19 in Courtroom E, at 0830 hours.

On Aug. 31, 2019, just after 6 a.m., Hernando County deputies were dispatched to a residence in Weeki Wachee (Glen Lakes) regarding a Home Invasion.

A person inside the residence called 9-1-1 to summon help. The caller told the 9-1-1 operator that someone had made entry into the home and that shots were being fired. The caller, and at least one other person, hid in a closet throughout the incident and until the arrival of law enforcement.

Upon arrival, deputies observed broken glass at the front door. Deputies quickly made a tactical entry into the residence.

Once inside, deputies immediately observed evidence of a crime.

Deputies swiftly removed the caller and one other individual from the closet, taking them safely out of the residence.

Thus far, investigation reveals the married couple who once lived in the home together had recently separated or divorced (at this point we are not certain). The husband relocated to another residence in Spring Hill, while the wife remained in the Glen Lakes home.

Early in the morning on Aug. 31, the husband returned to the Glen Lakes residence, forced entry into the home and began shooting the wife, killing her. The husband then killed himself, inside the Glen Lakes residence.

Due to Marsy's Law, the Sheriff’s Office have withheld the names and addresses of the individuals involved in this incident.

However, a media outlet reported that the victim is local pediatrician, Dr. Heather Schramm. The Hernando Sun was able to independently verify the victim's identity as Dr. Heather Schramm.

The news of Dr. Schramm’s death comes as a blow to the medical community as she was well loved by her patients, the families she served and her colleagues.

She leaves behind two teenage children.

School district plans to request school impact fee increase

by KATHRYN DENTATO Hernando Sun Reporter

ers are looking at a total of $8933 in impact fees to build in the county.

Jim Lipsey provided information on the current and projected facility Jim Lipsey, Manager of Planning, needs of the school district. He exDesign and Construction and Brian plained that school classrooms are Ragan, Director of Facilities, met considered permanent, and each seat with School Board members at the Aug. 27, 2019 workshop to present a for a student is called a station.

The rezoning petitions recommended a school impact fee for residential developments for that of $7,103 per residential home.

Education program (ESE). The more ESE students, the fewer the number of students per classroom.

In the 2017-2018 school year there were 388 ESE students. By the end of 2018-2019 there were 416 ESE students.

The temporary solution has been portables, but they are aging. Some exceed the 20 year recommended use. Lipsey said there are district portables that are nearing 30 years of service, which means they require more maintenance. Rather than buying additional portables, the answer lies in construction of permanent classrooms.

To illustrate construction cost, Lipsey said Pasco County shared figures from schools and additions built in 2016 and 2017. The school construction cost $21.9 million for one school and $23.3 million for another. One addition provided eight more classrooms (176 student stations) at $7.5 million. The other addition was for core space at a cost of $6.8 million. Yearly increases in construction costs are another factor the District must consider.

“The whole point of impact fees is that growth pays for itself,” Lipsey said. That is the definition of concurrency. Support systems develop as the community grows.

The District currently has $6.3 million of impact fee monies. If the BOCC had continued the educational impact fees at the $4,266 per single family home, the number of permits issued since 2005 would have generated approximately $54 million. The suspension of educational impact fees and reinstatement at a lower rate resulted in only $31 million collected.

Looking forward, Tindale Oliver’s recommended educational impact fee of $6,352 could generate the money needed for the new additions or schools, if the BOCC agrees to the full recommended amount. Based on the number of permits issued in

the last three years (4,692), Lipsey estimated that the District could have received $29.8 million, the cost of one elementary school or 3 additions.

At the current rate and using the same number of permits for the example, only $10 million is generated over three years.

The committee recommends that Superintendent ask the School Board to: adopt Tindale Oliver’s report to assist with long range plans adopt the impact fee study request the BOCC increase the educational impact fees to $6,352, the amount Tindale Oliver states would begin to address the District’s need for permanent classrooms.

By consensus, the School Board agreed to the Planning & Growth Committee’s recommendations.

Lipsey said that to address immediate needs, additional classrooms could be built at multiple schools.

They will hire an architect to develop plans for classrooms at Westside Elementary, J.D. Floyd Elementary, and Brooksville Elementary.

The schools have the land needed to build the additions, could handle the increased traffic, and are in areas with proposed residential growth.

The Director of Transportation is also a committee member as student transportation is an essential planning factor.

Board members Gud Guadagnino and Jimmy Lodato would like to see plans for Ridge Manor. Expansion toward Orlando is expected and the I-75/HWY 50 area has large residential developments planned.

Lipsey said master plans for each individual school and then as a district is a goal. Superintendent John Stratton asked for Lipsey to produce a master plan to address the District’s immediate capacity needs as well as 5-,10-, and 15-year plans.

Student arrested for written threats to kill or conduct mass shooting On 08-31-19 at approximately 7:30 a.m., the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office received a telephone call from an FBI Violent Crimes supervisor in Tampa regarding an on-line threat.

The FBI Violent Crimes supervisor was quickly put in contact with a Hernando County Sheriff’s deputy so all information could be documented and investigated.

Investigation revealed the FBI received information from Snapchat that a user with the name of “Gloobersteel” posted a picture, making threats to Central High School in Hernando County. The Snapchat user was identified as Matthew Tanrikulu DOB/06-192003.

Deputies determined that Tanrikulu attends Springstead High School.

The picture posted on Snapchat contained an assault type rifle lying on a bed, along with the caption “Yo bruh bouta run it up at central.” The photo was posted to Snapchat during the previous (school) week, 08-27-19 – 08-30-19.

Deputies responded to the campus of Central High School (Saturday) to check for suspicious persons, vehicles, activity, etc.

The campus was secure with nothing out of the ordinary noted. The School Resource Deputy was notified.

Deputies made contact with Tanrikulu at his residence. Post Miranda, Tanrikulu admitted to posting the photo message to Snapchat, stating he did so while at his friend’s house on 08-30-19. Tanrikulu told deputies he thought it would be funny due to the hoax bomb threats last year and the hoax shooting threats this year.

Deputies determined the “assault type rifle” used in the photo was an airsoft gun. The gun was collected and placed into evidence.

Deputies checked the residence for any additional weapons, yielding negative results.

Sheriff Al Nienhuis said, “Every threat made on a school, no matter what media it comes through, is taken as actual. It takes a tremendous amount of resources to react to each of these threats and to investigate the source of the threat. It is critically important for parents to stress the consequences of making such school threats or inappropriate comments regarding such matters in any and all school settings. Additionally, reporting such threats through normal channels (i.e. talking to parent, teacher, staff, SRO, calling the Sheriff’s Office) will allow these issues to be investigated and resolved before the rumor mill generates exaggerated and/ or unnecessary alarm amongst students, parents and concerned citizens.”

Matthew Tanrikulu, 16, was arrested on scene and charged as follows: •Written Threats to Kill/Injure Being that Tanrikulu is a juvenile, he was transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice in Ocala.

Facilities Director's Project List.

by KATHRYN DENTATO Hernando Sun Reporter At the Aug. 27, 2019 school board workshop, Director of Facilities Brian Ragan presented two large projects completed during the summer of 2019. He plans to appear before the Board monthly with projects that show how the Half Cent Sales Tax revenues are being spent.

A small number of projects are funded with federal dollars or by another source. Some projects are handled by Maintenance. The list shown at the workshop is not all inclusive, but represented the most recent projects.

At the request of Board member Linda Prescott, Ragan said the list of projects is sorted by school and cost. Some projects are pending, and the cost estimates are not known.

The first school Ragan discussed was J.D. Floyd Elementary, which needed the HVAC and lighting replaced. The 19-year old chiller plant was failing, with corroded parts and equipment needing to bring current. The new unit is more efficient, providing a cost savings to the school’s operating budget.

Lighting throughout the school was replaced.

LED lighting is more efficient and generates less heat. The HVAC units will work less with the new lights. Prescott asked for a report showing “before/after” energy costs.

Spending $6 million on air conditioning may seem like a lot of money to the public, Ragan said, but the actual process is more involved than just the outside unit that most people see.

Ragan shared photos of the work in progress with leaking pipes from the old unit. There were photos of the new equipment installation.

Some of the expense in these projects, Ragan

said, was due to digging up the old pipes by hand. Other pipes are uncovered during the process and must be preserved or replaced.

Other pictures showed the impact on individual classrooms: sagging, discolored, and saturated ceiling tiles. The “after” picture showed LED lighting, the “whisper quiet” air conditioning unit, and new ceiling tiles. Ragan coordinated with the maintenance department to repaint the classrooms and clean/wax the flooring during the AC upgrade.

The cafeteria ceiling tiles were also sagging and had gaps, and humidity was high, causing a musty odor. During the upgrade, mold was found on the other side of the cafeteria tiles around the entryways. Ragan said the mold was not found in the classroom tiles, just the cafeteria.

The completed renovation picture shows brighter LED lighting and new ceiling tiles.

New ductwork and insulation makes the cafeteria more energy efficient and dry.

The final cost of $5,778,637.16 was under the project estimate of $5,782,749.00. Ragan said the contractor was able to finish the job four months ahead of schedule. After completing work on the first building, he said, the contractor duplicated the system and the work proceeded at a faster pace.

J.D. Floyd Elementary Principal Joyce Lewis wrote a letter of appreciation. The AMSCO (Air Mechanical and Service Corporation) construction crew were professional and finished the job ahead of schedule. Everything was completed to their satisfaction, she said, and recommends them for future projects.

DORIAN from page 1

Sandbag distribution centers were opened, with inmates helping to fill sandbags.

Businesses and residents began to shutter their windows.

The decision to close schools for Tuesday Sept. 3, was made on Friday Aug. 30, when several models had the storm traveling into the middle of the state. Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative (WREC) wasn’t taking any chances either. They already had 100 contracted linemen working to clear right-ofways around the powerlines on Thursday and Friday.

The governor issued a state of emergency on Thursday Aug. 29 for all 67 counties.

Hernando’s Executive policy group then issued a local state of emergency.

The thought of another Irma sent the area into a brief panic. The Brooksville area suffered a direct hit by the category 1 hurricane Irma causing tremendous damage on Sept. 11, 2017.

By Sunday though, the west coast of Florida felt some relief as hurricane predictions mostly agreed that the storm would skirt the east coast of Florida and proceed north along the coast. We watched the slow moving category 5 hurricane pummel the Bahamas over the weekend and prayed for the storm to weaken.

“We have seen what Hurricane Dorian is capable of, and the First Lady and I extend our prayers to the people of the Bahamas,” said Governor DeSantis.

Although the west coast of Florida breathed easier, the east coast was still under threat.

By Tuesday afternoon, Dorian was a category 2 hurricane with still very dangerous 110 mph winds. From Jupiter Inlet to Daytona Beach, a hurricane warning was in effect as Dorian, 100 miles east of Fort Pierce, moved northwest at around 5 mph.

While we have been spared the worst of hurricane Dorian, the preparations did provide us with a wake-up call. For one, local grocery stores placed a limit on the amount of water residents could purchase. During the Pasco Hernando State College Hurricane Expo, Cecilia Patella, Hernando County Emergency Operations Director explained that residents should stockpile water in advance in case stores do place a limit on how much water can be purchased during an impending emergency.

Electricity is a hot topic when a hurricane is on the horizon The Hurricane Expo was quite a timely event. David Lambert, WREC Manager of Member Relations, was also on hand and spoke about WREC’s preparations for hurricane season as well as lessons learned from Irma two years ago.

Lambert said that WREC prepares for hurricane season year round. For the first three weeks of hurricane season they go over best practices and re-examine what worked and didn’t work during big storms like Irma.

He says that since Irma, they’ve put a lot more redundancy in the system as well as a detection method for where a tree may have fallen on a power line. They’ve also started clearing a lot more right-of-way from the lines as new state requirements call for 15 feet of clearance on each side of the power line.

One lesson learned from Irma is that they need to have more fuel on hand for their trucks. This time around they are prepared with ten days of fuel supply.

“No one ever expected a storm to go up the center of the state and then the entire state runs out of fuel,” Lambert said. Through working with Emergency Management, eventually they were

able to get fuel shipped in from out of state.

In the last 5 years WREC has invested over $50 million in storm hardening, of coastal areas in particular, according to Lambert.

While they are making headway on the power line right-of-ways, WREC has added website features for reporting outages and monitoring the progression of power recovery efforts online through their SmartHub app.

During major storm events, their storm center is open 24-7 to handle phone calls. All hands are on deck, from accountants to mechanics, meter readers and of course linemen.

“We’re here to support the linemen as they’re restoring power,” said Lambert.

WREC has over 250 linemen, but for events like restoring power after a hurricane, linemen from other electric co-ops in the southeast will travel to the affected areas of Florida to assist in the efforts through mutual aid agreements. There are roughly 943 co-ops in the US. WREC crews assisted in the panhandle for two months after hurricane Michael last year.

Lambert said that they also have agreements with contractors, specifically Pike Electric. They already have 100 contractors on system with the majority of them currently cutting right-ofways.

He says that gives them an advantage prior to the storm, but one disadvantage is all of the rain we’ve had this summer (22 inches).

This increases the likelihood of flooding and trees falling.

With a slow moving category 2 hurricane, tree after tree will start dropping.

“That’s where we’ll have a major issue,” said Lambert.

Lambert explained that shelters, transmission and substations, power plants, critical infrastructure, hospitals, wastewater treatment facilities take priority in power restoration. Each of the three hospitals in the county have backup diesel generators so the facilities can still function should they lose electricity.

Lambert stated that after Irma, the backup generator at Bayfront in Brooksville ran for 5 days before power was restored.

Then restoration efforts move to schools, gas stations, grocery stores. After that WREC will begin restoring power to the largest populated areas and work their way out to the rural areas. He said that in the time it takes them to restore power to 5000 homes in Spring Hill, they may only restore power to 200 homes in a less densely populated area.

Lambert mentioned that the Walmart on 50 and the Walmart Distribution Center both have backup generators so that they can provide needed goods such as water to the area.

WREC has a fleet of about 10 boats as well as barges in order to restore power in flooded areas.

He mentioned that it takes a lot longer to restore power when lines are underground since they often have to remove debris and flooding is a bigger factor to consider.

He said that crews work 16 hour days to restore power after a hurricane and many of them have sustained damage to their own homes.

Linemen are highly trained.

In order to work for WREC, there is a five year apprenticeship. There are 20 individual tests each year as well as a comprehensive exam. Linemen must score 90% or better or they don’t have a job.

“One mistake could kill someone,” said Lambert.

Lambert warned that it is imperative not to go within 30 feet of a down powerline and call in the incident immediately. “You can’t see electricity,” he said.

He also gave warnings specific to generator usage, as five individuals lost their lives during Irma due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Always operate a generator outside in a well ventilated area.

Generators can also be extremely dangerous for linemen and others, if it is hooked up directly to the home’s electric panel and does not go through a transfer switch. This practice is called backfeeding and it is an illegal practice which could result in the death of linemen working on the line, anyone near the line or generator as well as the destruction of your home.

Lambert commented that the community really came together after Irma. Logistically, WREC has to consider where to house all of the line crews along with food and water.

“The community, bar none rose to the occasion,” said Lambert. He explained that

ABOVE: Line crews cutting power line right-of-ways on Aug. 30, 2019 on Lake Lindsey Rd in Brooksville.

Sonny's BBQ sent food to feed all of their linemen, community organizations, individual members and other local restaurants did everything they could to help support WREC as they worked to restore power.

“That was just fantastic.”

“Our prayer is that Dorian doesn’t come here, but if not, we are going to be prepared as we can be,” said Lambert.

While prayers have been answered for the west coast of Florida, the east coast is bound to have some damage and state agencies are poised for action.

Governor DeSantis’ Office sent out an extensive list of state preparations on Tuesday evening.

Florida Highway Patrol has escorted fuel trucks to ensure fuel reaches critical areas more quickly and DeSantis has waived hours of service and truck weights for fuel trucks.

The State has 819,000 gallons of water and 1.8 million meals ready for distribution and has submitted requests to FEMA for additional food and water resources.The State has pre-deployed 860,000 bottles of water to preparing counties and has 730,000 pounds of ice ready for distribution.

Following Governor DeSantis' authorization, Florida Guardsmen have been activated to State Active Duty for Hurricane Dorian response operations, bringing the total number of responding Soldiers and Airmen to 4,848.

In addition to the Florida Guardsmen, 38 Urban Search and Rescue Task Forces in Florida are ready for engagement, four reconnaissance teams, two hazmat teams, a helicopter search and rescue team, 800 FWC officers and 1200 state sworn law enforcement officers.

The State of Florida does not take hurricanes lightly.

costing just over $1 million.

There are also a number of projects in the pipeline that will be starting soon.

Pine Grove Elementary school is undergoing a school wide HVAC replacement with $6 million budgeted. Hernando and Springstead High School's Theater lighting and rigging replacement which includes the house lights is budgeted at $2 million.

The premature failure of the systems can have a detrimental effect on students and teachers.

In June 2015, the air conditioning system that supported both Weeki Wachee High School and Winding Waters K-8 failed and was out of commission for around a month. Lowes donated fans to help circulate air, but students took their finals in uncomfortable conditions.

Weeki Wachee High was completed in 2009, so the unit was only six years old.

The school hardening initiatives are not coming out of half cent sales tax.

There are some projects

HALF-CENT from page 1

Some of the recently completed projects are a school wide roof replacement at Pine Grove Elementary School for around $1.2 million, a school wide heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) replacement at J.D. Floyd Elementary School for nearly $5.8 million, and a gym floor and bleacher replacement at West Hernando Middle School for $431,780.

There are a number of projects underway.

Hernando High School is nearing completion of a school wide heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) replacement that is expected to cost more than $10 million with $8 million spent to date.

Also nearing completion is a roof replacement on several buildings at Fox Chapel Middle School,

Projects are split into three categories: category one is life safety (e.g. emergency lighting), category two is loss of use (HVAC or roof failure), and category three is programmatic loss/need (science lab). At this point the school system is only looking at category 1 and 2 projects.

The Hernando County School District is replacing many of the roofs and HVAC systems around the county. The current plan for the 10 years of the half cent sales tax will not replace all the HVACs and roofs in the district.

The half cent sales tax accountability committee meets quarterly throughout the year. The purpose of this committee is to track how the district is spending the funds.

Park received a $4,950 grant from the Florida Humanities Council to preserve and disseminate Weeki Wachee's History.

The Friends of Weeki Wachee Springs is partnering with Dr. Connie Lester of the University of Central Florida's (UCF) RICHES project to record oral histories and digitize memorability. RICHES is an online searchable history archive.

A number of interesting people have been involved with Weeki Wachee including Newton Perry (Creator of Weeki Wachee Springs Shows), Ricou Browning (underwater film pioneer), Al Zaebst (founder of Aquatic Zoo at Weeki Wachee), and many others. Elvis Presley spent time at Weeki Wachee. The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) bought the park in 1959 and used their large reach to promote the park. Weeki Wachee has appeared in films including Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid (1948) and Neptune's Daughter (1949).

An enormous amount of history has

unfolded at the park and this is a great chance to preserve a portion of it. Residents now in their eighties and nineties hold memories of the springs before the park was created and in the early days of the park. This may be one of the last chances to preserve those recollections.

We recently spoke with Pola Kelly and she was reminiscing about spending time at Weeki Wachee. In 1938, she was a little girl and her father placed her in an innertube and took her out to the center of the spring while her mother stood on the shore throwing a fit. She also remembers that at the spring they could cook fish and swamp cabbage, both of which were readily available in the area.

If you have memories of Weeki Wachee or know someone who does, please bring them to the Weeki Wachee History Harvest Event on Saturday, September 14, 2019. Sharing these stories will allow all of us to appreciate the Weeki Wachee Spring a little more.

WHY MAIN STREET?

www.HistoricDowntownBrooksville.com

Monthly Events:

Almost daily since I became Executive Director of Brooksville Main Street in June, I’ve been asked what that means and what the program is supposed to accomplish. The textbook answer is that our goal is to reinvigorate the downtown with both fostering a healthy business environment and creating exciting events. But the real answer is so much deeper.

Brooksville Main Street is about cultivating the following beliefs: People Matter Place Matters Positioning Matters Play Matters Perception Matters People Matter First and most importantly, our people matter. Brooksville has a wonderful blend of individuals with diverse experiences, gifts, talents, and resources. I believe successful Main Street programs recognize and celebrate that diversity in a way that brings everyone to the table as contributors and beneficiaries.

Our Committees and volunteers are made up of all different kinds of people who all have the good of Brooksville at heart.

Place Matters The worst thing any community can do is try to be like somewhere else. Main Streets succeed when they identify the strengths of their city and build on it. Brooksville’s hilly brick roads make us a great location for bike race – but Brooksville wouldn’t be a great choice for a surfing competition (due to the lack of ocean and beach). Visitors will be drawn to our community as we promote our strengths and work in unity to create a positive atmosphere. Our Design Committee identifies ways to improve the look of the city – from landscaping, to building redesign, to public art.

Positioning Matters Main Street analyzes buildings and business opportunities and helps budding entrepreneurs and established businesses find the right home. We have also been working to strengthen our relationships with organizations like the Chamber of Commerce, Tourism, the Arts Council, and non-profits so we can collaborate on trainings and programs that will help our business owners and building owners succeed.

Our Economic Vitality Committee focuses on building momentum in our business community.

Play Matters Brooksville Main Street hosts free monthly events, like Friday Night Live, Un-Common-Ly Artsy, the Blues-In Cruise-In, as well as yearly ones like the Christmas programs at the Courthouse to create places for memories to be made and traditions to develop.

Our Promotions Committee works tirelessly to keep Brooksville hopping and energized!

Perception Matters Perception is pivotal – whether you are an individual, family, business, or community. Main Street programs work to make sure the perception of a community is a positive one! Our Organization Committee plans projects to make Brooksville its best version of itself.

So whether you are a Brookville resident, business owner, building owner, county resident or daytripper, we hope to see you soon in Brooksville. Because as Brookville Main Street, we #BelieveInBrooksville

How's the weather?

By Steve Norris

As a meteorologist I have been amazed this past week watching one of the strongest hurricanes ever in the Atlantic and the most perfectly shaped eye I have ever seen but at the same time you get a sick feeling thinking of all of the devastation and suffering that is occurring beneath that monster storm. Early on, the weather models were projecting that it could even cross the peninsula and hit our area as a major hurricane but gradually it started looking like it would eventually take a turn before reaching the coast. It has moved parallel along the eastern coast while battering that area with wind and rain.

There is a great deal of the hurricane season remaining but nothing insight that would threaten our area for a while.

On Friday, Sunrise is 7:09 a.m. with sunset at 7:48 p.m. Our evening sky features the planet Jupiter and the Moon appearing side-by-side to the southwest.

As Dorian lifts off to the northeast of our state, we will be left with sweltering heat and humidity through the weekend.

High temperatures will be in the 90s with the heat index well over 100. Looking down the road from September 11th to the 17th, the chances for storms will be increasing to 40 to 50%. Storms this time of year produce lots of cloud-toground lightning strikes and while it can be lots of fun to watch the electrical display of a distant thunderstorm, it can be dangerous if you get up close and personal. Twelve people have been killed across the country by lightning this summer. Six were camping or fishing, three were walking or hiking, one riding a motorcycle and two working on a roof. While there is some risk to talking on the phone or taking a shower during a storm, you see that all of the fatalities in the past couple of years have been people that were involved in outdoor activities. If you can hear thunder, then it is close enough to strike. Count the number of seconds between a flash of lightning and the thunder and divide by 5. This gives you the distance in miles to the lightning strike. If you count to 10 then the storm is only 2 miles away. Just drop me an email if you have a question or comment weather1@charter.net

OUCH!

BY MEL SUITER HERNANDO SUN

BROOKSVILLE, Fla.--Ouch!

There were some very dark ominous clouds gathering together over toward the eastern horizon Friday night but for Nature Coast Tech High School, the storm arrived early Toby Benoit is a best selling novelist and professional inside the Shark Tank and outdoorsman with thirty-five it left behind a wake of years of experience guiding destruction. and outfitting for big game South Sumter High all across America.

That is exactly what the Raiders achieved as they defeated Nature Coast Tech High School 33-0, to remain undefeated for the 2019 football season.

According to South As I sit here at my Sumter High School desk, the big topic of football coach Ty Lawrence, the game plan was simple. conversation amongst His description of the plan family and friends is is that the Raiders went Dorian. Nobody knows back to the basic lesson of yet, for certain, where football and also this big storm is heading, playing added into the ingredient, although by the time some of that old fashioned you have a chance to style of Raider football. read this column, with The game plan of the luck, that question will Raiders, just line up in the have been answered.

them and that leads me to expect a very soggy archery season this year, as our zone opens soon on the fourteenth. So that begs the question, if it’s raining and wet, do we hunt or do we stay home and wait until dryer weather? I can guarantee you one thing; this bowhunter will be in the field!

Now, the rain can really be an asset to a hunter in a few different ways. Firstly, it washes the air and makes it very difficult for the deer to use their noses to detect our presence. Secondly, it masks the sounds of our entry to the stand site. By fooling both of their top defenses, the deck will slightly become stacked in our favor. Thirdly, it feeds them. That’s right, the wind often associated with the rains will knock acorns, pecans, persimmons and other favored foods from the treetops and the deer will want to be up moving and taking advantage of that.

Sounds easy doesn’t it, to just slip out in a rain storm and fill your cooler with fresh, quality venison for your table?

Well, it’s not…. For each advantage we gain, we gain as well an equal obstacle to overcome, such as the cold. It may be hard for some of you to believe that you can get cold in the rain on a ninety-degree day, but you can.

Once you’re wet, our bodies begin to cool quickly and the usual lightweight camo clothing we wear during the early season is insufficient.

That’s why I carry a long-sleeved camo sweatshirt in my pack. I don’t bother with ill-fitting and noisy rain gear as a personal choice; I’d much rather add an extra layer and remain warm and comfortable.

after the game. They all had plenty of time to take one last look at the scoreboard, as they left the football field walking to their vehicle in the parking lot. Staring at the eerie glowing red lights that pierced through the air that reflected the score.

Every player from both schools and every member of the coaching staff then shook their heads in disbelief, that the Sharks were shut out.

“The defense played great tonight, we had a shutout last week and to get a shutout against this team, they are a good team,” Lawrence said. “Cory (Johns) does a lot of weird things- tries to get you out numbered, tries to get you unbalanced at the point of attack. Our defensive staff worked extremely hard this week to get our kids ready.”

In the first quarter of the game, Nature Coast Tech had found success getting to the edge of the tackle and added bubble screen passes were establishing the end. It looked like the Sharks were going to find the end zone first.

After the game, the traditional team meeting was on the field in the end zone for the Sharks, in front of the goal post and Nature Coast Tech High School football coach Cory Johns talked to his team.

It was a speech that was delivered and was packed with plenty of emotion and went directly to the point, asking about the players’ commitment to play football at Nature Coast Tech and to play the game for each other.

During the speech, some players kept their heads bowed looking at the ground, some players were looking up toward the sky but they all were kneeling silently, focused on their coach’s words.

After the speech by Johns, the Sharks helped each other to stand up, discreetly gathered up the team’s equipment and then

WEEK 3 Football Previews

By ANDY VILLAMARZO HERNANDO SUN WRITER

The regular season for prep football in Hernando County heads into Week 3 action and Week 2 brought upon some surprises. Nature Coast was shut out by South Sumter 33-0 and Central is off to a 2-0 start. All five of Hernando County’s squads will be back in action this week and teams will be 30 percent through the season after this Friday. We take a closer look at all of the Week 3 regular season matchups on tap for Friday night.

Springstead (2-0) at Nature Coast (1-1): This is likely the top game of the year when it comes to Hernando vs. Hernando opponents.

With Hernando looking like it’s on a down year and Central is on the come up, this game will take the cake. The Sharks are coming off a 33-0 shellacking of a loss to Bushnell South Sumter. Springstead is riding high after back-to-back shutouts over Sunlake and Weeki Wachee. It will be up to the Sharks’ defense to slow down the Eagles’ ground-oriented attack. Expect a good mixup between quarterbacks Fabian Burnett and Vaughn Sykora.

the rains will throw our way, is maneuverability. Roads and trails can become mighty soggy and difficult to get around on. You’ll never get that cooler filled if you get your truck stuck in the mud or find a flooded and boiling creek between yourself and your standsite. So bear that in mind when selecting a location to hunt, knowing the rains will come.

As always, I thank you for the opportunity to visit here in this column and if you have any questions or feedback, give me a shout at Toby@HernandoSun. com.

drive came to a stop because of three penalties called in secession which pushed the Sharks' offense backward from inside the 10-yard line to outside the 20-yard line. The Sharks found themselves in a fourth down and goal situation with the ball resting on the 22-yard line.

They failed to convert and never really threatened the Raiders again during the game.

At halftime, with the Raiders leading 6-0, Lawrence and his team went into the locker room and he said, there were no adjustments made at halftime by the coaching staff.

South Sumter High School just stuck with the game plan, forcing the Sharks to continue to play run defense, the Raiders scored 27 unanswered points in the second half.

“I thought if we lined up correctly against their funky formation then we would have a chance,” Lawrence said. “The kids effort was just great, I thought we wore them down, they had six or seven kids going both

Central (2-0) at Belleview (1-1): Surprise, surprise.

Central is 2-0 just like everyone predicted before the season ever started and the only people not amazed at this start are the ones within Central’s locker room. All the success starts with the state’s leading rusher in running back Contae Cason. The junior runner has amassed 449 yards in two games and is showing no signs of stopping. Belleview provides the Bears with another winnable game and to think Central could be 3-0 was nearly unfathomable at the end of last season.

Lake Weir (0-2) at Hernando (0-2): The Leopards saw victory snatched away from them in the final moments against Eau Gallie last week. The final score was 13-7 with a box score that shows 7-7 in the fourth. The Leopards now must regroup for a matchup against winless Lake Weir. Hernando sees its best chance to pick up win No. 1 and Rob Kazmier’s group needs it in a bad way.

Starting off the season 0-3 is something no one could’ve imagined after such a successful year No. 1 for Kazmier.

Shanna Wofford and a soggy weather buck she invited home during the early archery season.

the Sharks walked off the field toward their locker room and each player looked one more time at the scoreboard.

Johns walked off the field without looking at the scoreboard, without talking to the media because what he witnessed against South Sumter High School, he had seen enough and-it hurt!

Friday night, September 6, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Nature Coast Tech High School will be waiting to take on Springstead High School. There will be more than just bragging rights, this school of Sharks will be looking to find themselves, as a football team and to be able to play the game that they know how to play against a good Eagle squad.

Johns will be looking for a team that can overcome adversity and have each player take a good long look at themselves in the mirror and be ready to play football. It will take some time for this defeat to heal-it was painful!

Weeki Wachee (0-2) at Lecanto (0-2): It seems like the Hornets are right there. Literally right there. Both games have seen Weeki Wachee compete but not producing points is going to be a problem for the Hornets.

This week is a very winnable game for Chris Cook and crew when they make the short drive over to Lecanto. The Hornets should be able to pickup win No. 1 against the Panthers.

HCA Volleyball, still hungry for victory

BY MEL SUITER HERNANDO SUN SPORTS REPORTER

PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALICE MARY HERDEN

BROOKSVILLE, Fla. --- The aspirations of visitors to elude Hernando Christian Academy of a victory-is a flirtation with disaster. That's been true for most of HCA's season so far. Heading into the game against Seven Rivers on Thursday Aug. 29, 2019 after beating Meadowbrook on Tuesday (3-1) their record was 4 and 0. For Seven Rivers though, disaster did not strike in the Lions' Den. Hernando Christian Academy volleyball coach Stacy Hethorn is always in the process of making it tough for the opposition. She coaches and teaches her team, to be fully prepared and to make sure the company is as uncomfortable as possible, out on the court inside the Lions' Den. So far this young volleyball season, the Lions have tracked down their opponents but after losing to Seven Rivers Christian 3-0, for the first time this season and at home, Thursday night, Aug. 29, Hethorn’s biggest coaching challenge is ahead of her.

“We just got done talking about that,” Hethorn said. “We just got to move on, we can’t sulk, we got to start fresh

because every point is a new point.”

Seven Rivers Christian entered the game with a team that is physically larger than the Lions, a little more experience out on the court too but they had to earn all of their points against a determined Lion’s team.

“I did see our girls, they worked hard but there was a few times they were little scattered,” Hethorn said. “I do think they gave it their all, they worked hard. The other team did have to work for their points.”

There was a big game type atmosphere, inside the cozy gymnasium.

There was plenty of noise from the fans, a lot of chatter on the court as both teams continued to play every point with enthusiasm. There were lots of points that were challenged with prolonged volley, which added more enthusiasm to the game.

“There were lots of good volley,” Hethorn said. “Lots of good blocks, we’ve not played a team yet, that we had to block a lot, so it was nice to see that they were able to block, we have not met a team that likes to attack, like this one!”

After the match and wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel

and smiling, Seven Rivers Christian volleyball coach, Steve Stack said that his team has nothing but respect for the Lions and

that they expect a good, competitive match every time they play the Lions.

“It is a good win, a road game like this, had energy early took a little while to get them dialed in,” Stack said, after the match. “We have always had nothing but respect for HCA, they always give us a big game.”

Seven Rivers Christian attacked the Lion’s back line, applying pressure on the HCA’s defense which forced the Lions into making uncharacteristic mistakes.

Leading the charge for the Warriors, senior Madison Peters. She possesses a thunder-like serve that found some holes in the defense and when she was at the net, Peters is able to make blocks for her team.

Peters had some defensive help from the smallest player on the Warriors team, sophomore Lila Johnson. She plays in the middle of the back line and she was able to dig many balls that appeared

as if they would result in points for the Lions.

“Everything is a team effort with this group,” Stack said. “Everybody has a job to do, everybody has a role and we have high expectations from everybody out there.”

Shaking off the disappointing loss against the Warriors and moving forward will be a huge step for the Lions but as a resilient group, they will face the storm together and altogether they will weather the first storm of the season.

Hethorn will make sure that the Lions will be prepared for the next game, Thursday night Sept. 5, with a road trip to Spring Hill, Fla. The Lions will be at Classical Prep High School, all of the action begins at 6 p.m.

Hethorn will keep her team hungry for victories by playing hard and for the opponent they will have to respect the tempest that is known as Hernando Christain Academy Lions Volleyball.

Leading their season off with a big win against Umatilla 52-34 on August 23, the Central football team continues to move towards their season goal.

That goal is to put wins on the board, and so far that’s been accomplished.

“We are talking about being accountable, holding ourselves accountable, holding each other accountable, holding coaches accountable. We just stress the little things, being disciplined, attitude and effort- and just preach that day in and day out and that is transitioning onto the field,” coach Walden said.

During Friday night’s game against the Gulf, the Buccaneers struggled the entire game.

With fumbles on the offensive side, also their running backs couldn’t find a hole through Central’s tight defensive line.

The strength of the Bears’ offensive line contributed to Contae Cason’s domination of the endzone by racking up 155 yards and six touchdowns against Gulf.

The first quarter was dominated by the Bears 20-0. In the second quarter, Gulf managed to put eight points on the boards, and those were the only points

Bears’ Keyshawn Simmons carries the ball for yardage as Austin Jackson eyes up Gulfs’ defense for a block.

Central’s defense allowed. Central continued to add six more points.

Central scored twelve points in the third quarter and another seven in the fourth quarter.

“I am proud of these guys, it’s a great start and hoping to carry out that momentum next week against Belleview,” Walden said.

These two wins attribute to the team’s hard work, focus, and dedica-

Central head coach Robert Walden takes the field during Friday night’s game against Gulf. Walden leads the Bears 2019 season with 2-0. “Attitude and effort, they’ve heard me say it over and over.”

The Bears’ rushing attack has been so successful through the first two games of the season, Walden has had to only throw the ball 12 times so far. Central starting quarterback Tre Joyner, who is just a sophomore, is currently 4-of-12, 109 yards and one touchdown pass.

Central’s run game is averaging a healthy 306 yards per game on the ground and doesn’t look like it’s slowing down anytime soon. Also throw in that Cason is the team’s leading receiver in yardage

now with 449 yards in just two games. Cason rushed for 246 yards against Umatilla in a Week 1 52-34 victory for the Bears.

Last Friday night featured much of the same for Cason, who rushed for 203 yards and ended up scoring seven touchdowns in Central’s 45-8 win over New Port Richey Gulf.

With Cason’s name now creating a ton of buzz, the junior tailback is prepared to carry Central off to new heights that haven’t seen in quite some time.

Cason’s ascension to stardom has come on the heels of the Bears going through a chaotic offseason which included John Warren stepping down as the school’s head coach after just one season at the helm.

The Bears went 0-10 last season and had plenty of problems scoring points on the field. This season has been the total opposite for Central, as they’re currently averaging 48.5 points per game.

tion during practice, yet the biggest of challenges are yet to be faced.

“We can’t be satisfied with being 2-0. In order to get better, we just gotta keep improving every day,” Walden said.

Central takes on Bellview on Friday, September 6, and Lecanto on September 13 which will give them time to prepare for the upcoming heavy hitters, Nature Coast Tech and Crystal River.

Central’s Junior Contae Cason finds a hole in Gulfs d-line. Cason drove in 6 touchdowns against Gulf during Friday night’s home game.

First-year head coach Rob Walden accepted the job back in the summer and was tasked with turning around a Bears program that has not seen a winning season since 2016 when Central went 6-4 under the direction of Chris Sands, who is now the head coach at

Eau Gallie High School.

Walden has tackled the job head on and now has the Bears on track to turn things around sooner rather than later.

Central’s schedule now has them up against the Belleview Rattlers and should provide the Bears with their toughest test to date. The Rattlers

with 36 yards and one touchdown.

Cason isn’t alone in his quest to make Central relevant again, with fellow teammate Kaleb Morrison also making a name for himself as of late. The running back/linebacker recorded nine tackles and rushed for 39 yards and a touchdown against Gulf.

The future for Central is bright and could continue to become that much brighter as the season moves along.

struggled in their home opener against Ocala West Port, a 55-6 loss, but rebounded last week with a 33-6 victory over St. John Lutheran. The game will be a short road trip Andy Villamarzo can be for the Bears, but a chance to start the season off 3-0 reached at andyvillamarzo@ gmail.com and follow him on for the first time in over Twitter @avillamarzo. two decades.

Hernando Boys & Girls Club turns 20

BY SARAH NACHIN HERNANDO SUN REPORTER

On Wednesday, August 28, the Boys and Girls Club held an event to celebrate its twentieth anniversary in Hernando County. The festivities took place at the Westside Elementary center.

The organization now has ten sites to serve school age children and five licensed preschools.

Altogether the Boys and Girls Club serves more than 2,000 children from six weeks of age to eighteen years old.

Noreen St. Jean, Director of Outreach and Donor Relations networks with businesses and community members sharing information about the organization's programming.

“We work with the children that need us the most and help them become

productive, caring and responsible citizens with a plan for the future. That's our main responsibility,” Ms. St. Jean stated.

Mary LeDoux is Chairman of the Board and just retired from Hernando County schools and her position as principal of Eastside Elementary School. Kenny Coggins, serves as Vice-Chairman.

"The importance of Boys and Girls Club is our ability to reach all children, even those whose parents may not be able to afford before and after school care. Boys and Girls Club provides children positive interactions with adults,” Ms. LeDoux commented.

Director of Development Jennifer Harpin remarked, "One of the most important contributions Boys and Girls Club makes is that we are helping raise academical-

ly successful individuals, people who are workforce ready. We are empowering the children and helping them learn the skills to be successful.”

Fees to participate in the club's activities are on a sliding scale based on income. The Boys and Girls Club offers programming geared to academic success, such as help with homework and extra assistance in subjects the student may be struggling with. There are also personal enrichment activities, geared to health and nutrition, building relationships and communicating. The club also offers character and leadership development, along with sports and games. Other activities include art, drama, music and creative writing. The centers operate throughout the school year and the summer, as well.

County Commissioner Jeff Holcomb and Noreen St. Jean, Director of Outreach and Donor Relations for the Boys and Girls Club in Hernando County.

Noreen St. Jean welcomed everyone and thanked the Boys and Girls Club's major sponsors – Kiwanis Club of the Adventure Coast, Wittel and Melton Law Group and WellcomeOm Center.

Other contributing sponsors include Cadence Bank and Centennial Bank.

County Commissioner Jeff Holcomb read a Proclamation recognizing the 20th anniversary of the Boys and Girls Club in Hernando

County.

Holcomb stated, “On behalf of the county commission, it's an honor to be here.

Organizations like this are important because we don't want government doing everything. We need good community organizations like this.”

Ms. LeDoux concluded, “What I love about Boys and Girls Club is that it provides the positive role models, mentorship and the structure that these children

need so that they can become positive, active leaders in our community. They can see that there is a way out of poverty.”

D#10314114 – Orion is a precious black and white male Terrier mix. His owners turned him in to the shelter 2 times as a stray, claiming the dog wandered onto their property.

When Orion's microchip was traced back to the owner, they admitted the dog was theirs, but were unable to care for him because they worked long hours. The decision was made to place him for adoption in the hopes he would find a family willing to take the time and interest necessary to properly care for him. Orion loves to spend time outside playing in the spree areas with the volunteers and is very tolerant of the whimsical head gear they dress him in during photo shoots. He's such a great boy and is looking for a really good home. Please stop by to meet him. Orion is neutered, micro-chipped, vaccinated, heartworm tested and will have a 1-yr county animal license at the time of adoption.

D#10320859 – Skylar is an adorable brown and white female Black Mouth Cur, approximately 58 lbs. She ran into Petco one morning when they opened for business and was brought into shelter care.

Slylar has a chip, so the owner was notified and asked to pick her up. A month later, she was still with us. The family finally made contact to state they could no longer care for her and they were not coming in to claim her. Skylar loves to spend time in the spree area with the volunteers where she can play safely. She's working on basic commands and is very willing to learn.

She is waiting for you to stop by to meet her and hopefully open your home and heart to her. Skylar is spayed, micro-chipped, vaccinated, heartworm tested and will have a 1-yr county animal license at the time of adoption.

D#10321109 – Oliver is a handsome brindle and white male Terrier mix. He was found tied to a residential mailbox in Spring Hill and was taken into shelter care. Oliver was fearful upon impound, but is slowly coming around. Shelter staff and volunteers are working hard to build his trust and interact with him as often as possible. He especially loves being outside with the volunteers and is beginning to understand he's safe, loved and well cared for.

He needs an owner who can be patient and give him the TLC he needs to continue to move forward. If you're searching for that special dog, Oliver might just be your match. Please stop by to meet him and give him a chance to win you over. Oliver is neutered, micro-chipped, vaccinated, heartworm tested and will have a 1-yr county animal license at the time of adoption.

Local Philanthropic group awards grant to Hernando Youth Orchestra

by SARAH NACHIN Hernando Sun Reporter

A relatively small group of women that meets only four times a year has had a tremendous impact on the community in the short time they have been operating. The philanthropic organization called 100 + Women Who Care Florida Nature Coast formed in December of 2016. The group recently awarded a $3,800 grant to the Hernando Youth Orchestra.

In addition to the $3,800 awarded to the orchestra by the organization, the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation will match half that amount, bringing the total to $5,700.

Schulze was the founder of the electronics company, Best Buy. Each quarter the members of 100 + Women Who Care nominate local 501(c)3 organizations to be the recipient of a grant.

Mary Crouse, representing the group, remarked, “The non-profit must be vetted by us. They must operate locally and not be part of a larger national organization. All the funds must stay in the area to benefit the local community. The members vote for the nominees.

Then the votes are counted and the organization getting the most votes receives the grant.”

Counting the matching grant money from the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation, 100 + Women Who Care has given more than $30,600 since the group started in December of 2016. Past grant recipients have included Crescent Community Clinic, People Helping People Hernando and K9 Partners for Patriots.

Orchestra (HYO), the grant means a lot. The orchestra was founded in 2007 to provide a place for young people ages 5-21 to hone their musical skills, gain proficiency in their instrument of choice and give back to the community through public concert performances.

Everyone who works with the students is a volunteer, including Allan Breithhaupt, the conductor; John St. John, director and one of the founders; George Rubis, co-founder; as well as all the board members. It receives no government funds but relies strictly on individual

and corporate donations, along with grants from the Hernando Fine Arts Council. The $5,700 grant money will be put to good use by the HYO. Ellen Paul, Executive Director of the Hernando Youth Orchestra, stated, “We were thinking about using the grant money to offer more lessons in strings because there are not very many places around here that offer lessons in strings. Also we need to replace our music stands and to buy some new music. That's quite expensive too.”

100 + Women Who Care Florida Nature Coast and

the Hernando Youth Orchestra are two stellar examples of dedicated people enriching our community and making it a better place in which to live.

Any person of any race can be racist

The scientific definition of race is nonexistent. It is arbitrary. In the colonies a southerner with one-quarter Negro blood was termed “quadroon,” one-eighth ”octoroon” with the rest European blood. If the family had risen to a significant level of social distinction many would continue to be recognized as “white.” A person with one white parent and one black parent was labeled as “mulatto.” President Obama, whose mother was white and father was a black African from Kenya, was considered as our first black president. For political reasons he chose to totally belong to the black race.

With the emergence of curiosity about our ancestry many people have joined Internet searches and joined genealogy businesses such as Ancestry.com to determine their “supposed racial and ethnic” roots. As these family history searches become more refined and substantiated we are finding

DOMENICK J. MAGLIO, PH.D.

no power in the political establishment. Only whites can be and are racist. In fact any white, no matter their ethnic background, financial and social status and family history, will be assumed to be racist. On the other hand any minority no matter how wealthy, politically connected, famous, and formally does not have the Traditional Realist educated possibility of being racist.

This racist notion that is many surprises. Many family being sold to the American tree branches extend into public, especially to our countries, ethic and racial youth, is preposterous. Nevareas people did not expect. ertheless through repetitive There are individuals who indoctrination of “White hate anyone in a particuPrivilege” in progressive lar ethnic or racial group media and universities it according to their perverted has gained credibility with perspective. People develop progressive audiences. Many their appraisal of beauty vs. whites believe their parent’s ugliness or smart vs. dumb, success is not based on their pleasant vs. obnoxious, work ethic or merit but on appropriate vs. inappropriate their “white privilege.” The or other traits in our “Cultural lack of time families spend Civil War.” The assessment together talking about the of others is becoming more parents' struggles through contentious. Progressives difficult periods of their life have somehow concluded has allowed their children that minorities cannot be to accept the absurd concept prejudiced, as they have had

of “white privilege” for all whites. Many white families started their lives in poor rural communities, urban ethnic ghettos, and impoverished suburban neighborhoods.

Some higher socioeconomic families who lost their wealth had to adjust to a lower lifestyle. For almost all, “white privilege” had nothing to do with their success.

Another example that shows the fallacy of this narrative is that plenty of people in our culture have had prejudice against their own subculture and racial background.

An Asian, Indian, black, Jew or any group might shun their own members of their racial heritage. This subtle form of prejudice is not unusual for at least part of someone’s life. Rampant racism has significantly decreased with increased mobility, education, and naturally integrated neighborhoods throughout our country. Prejudice against any group is a sad and stupid excuse to put strangers down to feel better about oneself.

MINISTER / CHAPLAIN

How could anyone turn away?

I’m sure most of you heard about a couple of prominent Christian leaders who recently announced they are changing their mind about following the Lord and have decided to abandon their faith. It’s true that all of us make our own decisions every day, but this is different and much more serious. Our spiritual life is the most important aspect of our journey and for the Christian, it is literally the meaning and purpose of our existence. We become excited and filled with hope when someone embraces the gospel and turns their life over to Christ,

but are stunned when we hear about a member of God’s family turning away from him. I'm sad not only for these individuals but also for seekers who might have been thinking about taking a closer step toward God and are now having second thoughts.

In a world permeated with discouragement and confusion, it’s disheartening and difficult to understand how a person who has experienced the joys of salvation can suddenly declare they no longer believe it anymore.

Some might be curious with how a person could be saved and then be lost, especially with many Protestant groups who acknowledge that salvation is a onetime confession. For Orthodox Christians, the idea of losing one’s salvation is much more acceptable since they believe that salvation is a process of being saved instead of the concept of eternal security. With so many different doctrinal interpretations and without walking through a theological minefield, let’s just say that whatever your persuasion, we can agree that walking away from God is very dangerous, to say the least. We realize there have always been individuals that have drifted away from former convictions and it’s prophesied in I Timothy chapter four and II Thessalonians chapter two, that in the end times people will continue to fall away from the faith and submit to seducing spirits. This “falling away” is a translation of the Greek apostasia, meaning departure, rebellion,

Demeaning others is not a way to advance oneself or a group.

Privilege in American culture has been mostly based on the power of money, not race. Money buys entry into country clubs, universities, legitimate businesses, political and social events. It even purchases fame and the power of notoriety. Many rich, admired and famous families came up from the lower class doing unethical and at times criminal behavior. These now powerful people from racial and ethnic backgrounds have their own set of prejudices against other people.

We should remember all humans of all races, ethnicities or classes, are imperfect.

There is no group that is all good or all bad. Attempting to label one racial group, “whites,” as the only cause of racism is ignorant and false.

All types of groups have members with varying ability, production and character.

Any person from any racial group can decide to hate all others of a particular race

or ethnic group. There is no rational justification for this hatred. There is an incredible difference amongst members of an ethnicity that allows any person to find someone who has similar views. This logical realization should prevent any person from thinking that all people of a particular race or group can be classified negatively.

Once people realize people are people, as Martin Luther King said, it is all about a person’s character not the color of their skin. Racism is a mental illness where anyone from any race or group can be a racist or not.

Sunshine Laws, a necessary pain Sunshine laws provide insight into the deliberations of elected officials. At one point public meeting were meaningless, because the decisions were already hammered out in smoky back rooms and the meetings were a formality. The discussions in the meetings were meaningless since the decision had been made.

Sunshine laws provides a level of transparency that did not exist before the sunshine laws were passed. Often municipality government meetings before the sunshine laws consisted of a series of votes that were incomprehensible to the public.

An issue would be raised and they commission or council would vote in a previously agreed upon fashion and the issue would pass or fail without a serious discussion.

The sunshine laws allowed the public insight into the deliberative process of the commissioners or council members. This enabled the public to understand what arguments were persuasive to which commissioner and have insight into their deliberative process.

The sunshine laws require that the commissioners do not discuss issues that they may have to vote on with each other.

Often due to an abundance of caution, commissioners have the least information of what each other's position is in the room. This is frustrating to the public and the commissioners, but it provides the maximum insight into the thought process of the commissioners.

The end result of the sunshine laws is that the elected officials are sometimes making complicated decisions in the meeting in reaction to the other

betrayal, defection, or apostasy. One indicator of rejecting holy truth is ignoring the reverential fear of God which is why it’s so critical to developing a constant awareness of his presence. Another sign is developing an ungrateful attitude and allowing arrogance to corrupt and control our thinking. “We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away” Hebrews 2:1.

I feel it’s important to discuss this phenomenon and be prepared to face even stronger hostile rejection of the Bible and even God himself by those who disagree with God. We realize we cannot prevent people from doing whatever they want, we can only present and demonstrate the truth and of course, pray for them. God has given mankind the free-will to choose whom they will serve and likewise will judge each person according to our decisions.

Nonetheless, I would like for us to at least consider why someone who has tasted the goodness of God and has studied and embraced the scriptures, would publicly deny and denounce their spiritual views. I understand that we all go through normal seasons of discouragement and difficult times when we might have doubts, or circumstances that may test our faith, but these are just temporary. The Bible talks about back-sliding and drifting away but to declare to the world that you are absolutely finished serving and trusting God forever is something much more serious.

commissioners. Many of the attendees might have spoken with the commissioner and expected the action. The attendees could not tell the other commissioner, since they would then become a conduit which is a violation of the sunshine laws. The commissioner can ask to delay the vote when something unexpected happens, but often moving forward is important.

The sunshine laws can be frustrating to members of an elected government body, since they can make the process less efficient. However, bringing the deliberation into the public eye is an acceptable tradeoff for a more difficult process. The decisions they are making are impact the public's money and therefore the public should have the maximum amount of input and insight.

What would it take to convince a person there could be something or someone else that is worth more praise than Jesus who gave his life so we could be ransomed forever? What sin could be more valuable, or satisfying, and more alluring than the glories of God’s presence? What could be more joyful, and peaceful than trusting in God’s divine truth which cannot fail? Since temptation can influence the mind and have such a powerful stronghold within the conscience, it is heartbreaking to see that many are being held captive in the bondage of deception. When a person ceases to believe in God, it is worth considering who they are serving now and what consequences will this bring? Taking a closer look at II Peter chapter two, the question remains for those who turn away; did they ever have a true personal relationship with Christ, or was their former religious lifestyle only based on an emotional feeling?
