Local clinic healing with love Americans have struggled for decades to afford health care and it's not uncommon for many of us who can't afford health care or insurance to end up in hospital emergency rooms — particularly as their health problems deteriorate and become more difficult to treat.

In Hernando County, residents are fortunate to have the Crescent Community Clinic.

Founded in 2008 in Brooksville by physicians from the county’s Muslim community, its mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of the underserved, indigent and uninsured and to provide the best

ernando County is usually threatened by at least one storm forecast during the hurricane season. Often the storms are steered elsewhere, although it has been only two years since a weakened Irma directly hit this area. Last year the community came together to deliver supplies to Mexico Beach, Florida and surrounding communities impacted by Hurricane Michael. There were many local businesses and organizations that delivered needed supplies.

The constant threat of being hit by a hurricane, leads residents of this area to feel a kinship with the victims of a hurricane. Hurricane Dorian directly hit the Bahamas as an intense category 5 hurricane. Once again the community is coming together to support the victims of the latest hurricane.

SPORTS

Camaraderie: more important than the score

BY: JESSICA WILLIAMS jessica@hernandosun.com

No way. At 15 years old, my friends had better things to do.

Such as driving behind the wheel with their freshly printed driver’s license permit. Now that was a good time.

Their idea of fun certainly wasn’t staring into the abyss of a sewing machine, listening to the helicopter noise it blurted out as my grandmother pushed down on her foot pedal, underneath her toes.

No ma’am. That was torture for my teenage friends. They’d rather watch paint dry.

But me, for some unknown reason, I found it fascinating. Mesmerized by the electronic needle dancing into the fabric pieces as it scooted underneath the powerful machine. Turning scraps of old fabric into beautiful works of art and clothing. Blouses. Pants.

Blankets. Anything could be created. If I could dream it, that machine could make it.

It was more than just another volleyball game on Wednesday Sept. 4. During set three NCT Senior setter Karla Cantero-Garcia sustained an ankle injury. The entire Weeki Wachee team came over to her bench console her. “An act like this displays that a camaraderie exists in the volleyball world between the girls regardless of who or where they play, even more important than the win or loss column,” said Martin Colleran, who was in attendance. A photo by Eileen Colleran of the Weeki Wachee team surrounding and consoling Cantero-Garcia went viral after the game.

UF, FSU rankings rise to family curse scam

state news in review STAFF REPORT

Last week there were 49 new Hepatitis A cases in Florida The Florida Department of Health reported 49 new cases of hepatitis A in Florida last week. This brings the total for the year to 2,461 cases.

Pasco continues to be hardest hit in the state with 385 cases this year, that outbreak led Florida Surgeon General Scott Rivkees to declare a public-health emergency last month.

The virus can be spread through food or drink if the food handler did not properly wash their hands after going to the bathroom. That is why patrons are notified when a restaurant employee tests positive for hepatitis A. Safety Net Hospitals lobbying to protect funding On Monday Sept. 9, the Safety Net Hospital Alliance of Florida launched a new website criticalcarefund. com which highlights the role that safety net hospitals play in providing healthcare in Florida. The website is part of an effort to keep $319 million in supplemental funding flowing to 28 hospitals that provide care to the most Medicaid patients. The website features the logo of the United Way of Florida, which has made retaining the funding one of its legislative priorities.

For the last two years Florida Senate has discussed using the supplemental funds to increase the medicaid rates paid to all hospitals.

This would mean that the money would be spread around among all the hospitals. The CEO of Safety Net Hospital Alliance of Florida, Justin Senior said "This fund has been threatened in past legislative sessions. So, we want everyone to know as the 2020 session gears up that taking money out of this fund would mean state dollars stop following the patients in need of the most complex care."

Ex-prison workers’ appeals in murder plot rejected An appeals court rejected the appeals of two former state prison workers David Elliott Moran and Charles T. Newcomb. The former prison workers were convicted of conspiring to kill a former inmate who had bitten corrections officer Thomas Driver while in prison.

In 2014, at a Ku Klux Klan

UF, FSU rise up in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges U.S. News & World Report’s “2020 Best Colleges” rankings of Public Universities saw gains for University of Florida (UF) and Florida State University (FSU). UF was tied for seventh and FSU was the eighteenth best Public University. This marked substantial progress for the Florida Universities. Four years ago FSU was ranked 43rd in the same ranking. Eight years ago UF was nineteenth.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis visited both schools and praised their steady progress.

The U.S. News & World Report’s rankings are based on a number of factors including graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, expert opinion, financial resources, and selectivity of admissions. One of the factors helping Florida in these rankings is that tuition is relatively low.

Millionaires in the Florida House and Senate The average net worth of Florida senators is $5.9 million and the average net worth of Florida Representatives is $1.7 million according to an analysis by The News Service of Florida. Senator George Gainer has the highest net worth with $46.46 million.

He owns car dealerships throughout Northern Florida. He is followed by Representative Ralph Massullo at $42.4 million. Dr. Massullo is a Lecanto Dermatologist.

Another senator with a high net worth is our state senator Wilton Simpson with $25.9 million.

More than half of the state Senators and over a third of the state Representatives list their net worth at more than a million dollars. One of the reasons for our state's elected officials being mostly wealth is that the position is considered part time and compensated accordingly. Our representatives spend a month in Tallahassee and few careers allow a person that much time off.

This means that few people can afford to be elected to state office. When a majority of the state's industry was agriculture, there were many more individuals that could afford to

take a winter month off and represent their area (as winter is a slow time for farming).

Florida sending relief supplies to the Bahamas Florida Power & Light and Governor Ron DeSantis announced that they were going to ship 19 truck loads of water to the Bahamas. This includes supplies that were staged for Hurricane Dorian, but since the storm turned north mostly sparing the state the supplies were not used.

Governor DeSantis said that the donations should not affect the state's ability to respond to a new hurricane.

With several months left in hurricane season that could be an issue.

Florida's donations are intended to supplement the federal response.

Governor DeSantis and Florida Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz said that additional donations are likely.

Governor DeSantis also appointed John Rood, a former U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas as the point person for the relief effort. Rood spent three days in the Bahamas after Hurricane Dorian hit and has identified temporary housing as a critical need.

Florida woman gets prison for $1.6 million family curse scam MIAMI (AP) — A South Florida woman who claimed to be a psychic fortune teller has been sentenced to three years and four months in prison for taking $1.6 million from a Texas woman to remove a curse from her family.

Court records show that 28-year-old Sherry Tina Uwanawich was sentenced last week in Miami. She previously pleaded guilty to wire fraud. She must also pay restitution.

Investigators say Uwanawich met the victim in Houston, Texas, in 2007.

Uwanawich gained the woman's trust and convinced her that a curse had been placed on her and her family.

Uwanawich claimed she needed large sums of money for crystals and candles to perform meditations that would lift the curse.

The scheme ended in 2014 when Uwanawich admitted to the victim there had been no curse.

Commissioner Champion asks county to go on record supporting 2nd amendment

by LISA MACNEIL lisa@hernandosun.com

During final comments at the regular meeting on September 10, Commissioner Steve Champion requested the board send a letter in unity to Governor Ron DeSantis stating Hernando County supports the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution; the right to bear arms.

Champion said, “We have no say over this, but I think we need to put it on record on what’s happening in our legislation with the state, and with the country regarding our second amendment rights. Like it or not, (our rights) are under attack.” Champion added

Hernando County Crime Stoppers Please

gathering Moran, Newcomb, and Driver had approached an FBI confidential informant about murdering the former inmate. The informant was able to get the men on tape discussing a plot to kill the former inmate.

The informant then supplied the men with photos that made it look like the former inmate had been murdered.

This evidence led to the former prison workers conviction for conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. Their appeal claimed that there was not enough evidence of a conspiracy, but the appeal court rejected that appeal.

that other counties have gone on record or passed resolutions stating their support of the amendment.

“It doesn’t change policy … but it does send a message to Tallahassee, and especially to one of our Senators - who’s supposed to be a Republican. A former governor that’s [sic] adamantly speaking out against our second amendment.”

According to County Attorney Garth Coller, a resolution would have to come before the board at a later date, since voting cannot take place during final discussion.

The commissioners were in agreement with the drafting of a letter to be sent to Governor Ron DeSantis, Senators Daniel Webster, Marco Rubio, Rick Scott and Wilton Simpson, House Delegates and any relevant Federal officials.

Champion believes this is the best action to make sure Hernando county’s position is known, “Because … those counties that don’t support it are sending letters and adamantly speaking out against our second amendment.”

Of concern is the “Red

Flag Law,” which is a measure allowing law enforcement to seize the weapons of an individual deemed to have exhibited concerning behavior.

Champion said, “We’re in danger of really losing our rights. They’re eroding (our rights) little by little, instead of enforcing the (gun) laws that are on the books now.”

Commissioner John Allocco added, “I support the bill of rights, because the First Amendment is being eroded almost as quickly… I’m a little concerned that if we just pick one amendment that we’re going to write a letter about that it means (that amendment) means more than the rest of them.”

Allocco cautioned Champion on the optics of focusing only on the second amendment, since Champion is the owner of American Gun and Pawn, a firearms supplier. “I know it’s not your intention,” he said to Champion. “This board needs to support the entire Constitution, every time someone goes against it, we should be standing up.”

Commissioner John Mitten proposed that if each individual

commissioner sent a personal letter, or if a letter was sent collectively, “It would need to be worded precisely to be effective.”

Champion refuted the possibility that his focus on the Second Amendment could be perceived as self-serving. “These new laws help me. Walmart not carrying ammo helps me… these universal background checks help me. If I was self-serving, I’d say ‘Pass it all’ because I’m going to make more money that way.”

After the topic of the letter was ended, Champion spoke about loss of funding of the Guardian Program for local schools.

Champion reported that the BEST Academy has an active Guardian Program, which is saving the school $50,000 per year, and the security coverage is better, based on the placement of three Guardians as opposed to one School Resource Officer (SRO).

Champion isn’t opposed to having Guardians in schools with an SRO. The topic is expected to appear on a school board agenda in the near future.

Arrest made in Kennedy Park double shooting

Arrest Summaries He wasn't really choking using a choke hold

THE HERNANDO SUN

STAFF REPORT Sept. 9, 2019- Detectives have worked diligently to identify a suspect in this double shooting which took place at Brooksville’s Kennedy Park shortly before 12:15am.

H'Keem Lavar Hart was identified, through a thorough investigation, as the shooter in this case.

Hart was located and arrested on Sept. 6, 2019 at the Corrections-Probation and Parole Office on Cortez Boulevard in Brooksville.

Hart was arrested on the following charges: Aggravated Battery w/Firearm (Warrant) Possession of Firearm by Convicted Felon (Warrant) Violation of Probation.

During questioning, Hart denied any involvement in the shooting.

Sheriff Al Nienhuis said, "We have difficulty getting information in some communities, even on some of the most violent crimes. First, we'd like to thank the people who came forward with suspect information and details regarding what happened. Secondly, holding these violent criminals accountable will likely prevent an innocent child from being killed by a stray bullet."

Both victims, a male and a female, are recovering from their injuries. One has been released from the hospital; the other is still recovering in the hospital.

then stated "I don't give a f*** I will break your window. There better be more than one cop following me to Jail watch at what I will do."

The knife was collected and was a large serrated knife with an approximate 12 inch blade with a black plastic handle. This knife was collected and placed into property under SG-1.

Based on all these statements, I then placed Paul under arrest for domestic aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and simple domestic battery.

I had extra units follow me to the Jail and had Jail Booking staff meet me In the Sally port to assist getting Paul of my car.

Booking Sargent Quioness was made aware of the homicidal statements that Paul made.

County Commissioners comment on Sept. 11 terrorist attack anniversary

by LISA MACNEIL lisa@hernandosun.com

At the end of every Board of County Commissioners meeting, each commissioner is given an opportunity to comment on a topic they choose. At the end of the BOCC meeting on September 10, 2019, two commissioners gave their thoughts on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Commissioner John Allocco had the following to say about the anniversary of 9/11/01 the freedoms Americans enjoy; “9/11. Tomorrow. We all know someone who’s died or lost a family member, or first responders that have passed. We know lots of people who were just in that building at work. People that lived around it, who inhaled the dust and have been sick for years and years. We’ve had a couple of conversations today about the second amendment … first amendment … understand that that entire day was about our way of life and our belief system being attacked because some people don’t handle freedom well. Some people don’t handle other people having freedom well. That’s what we need to remember -- it’s about the freedoms that we’re supposed to have in this country, that we’re supposed to respect, that we’re supposed to protect, and that we’re supposed to make sure that any time that those freedoms are attacked by the outside, that we come together as a country and defend our constitution as a whole. We may have differences on this board, we may have differences next November, but in the end, we’re all supposed to be Americans and we’re all supposed to be defending what this country stands for, and that’s individual liberties and freedoms, and that’s standing up against tyranny and oppression. I just hope that everyone remembers that tomorrow. This isn’t about hating or attacking a certain group of people, this is about loving what America is supposed to stand for and the people who died because of it.”

BOCC Chairman Jeff Holcomb added, “There were many people that were working civilian jobs, doing civilian things and decided that the military was their option after that day. They’re living with the effects of that for the rest of their lives.”

Hernando BOCC Matters: August meetings wrap up AIRPORT matters

Grant for Taxiway A reconstruction

Aug. 27, 2019- The taxiway has been rapidly deteriorating over the last few years with chunks and chips of concrete breaking along the joints. The project will include the reconstruction of Taxiway A, Taxiway A1, associated connector taxiways, drainage improvements and construction management services (Schedules A - C).

The FAA will be providing $4,637,469 in financial assistance ($4,487,469 in discretionary funds and $150,000 in primary entitlements). The remaining share will be funded through additional FDOT grants and Airport funds. Airport staff presented the FAA Pre-Application to the Board on November 5, 2018, and the FAA Grant Application on June 25, 2019.

Airport Manager Kevin Daugherty reported that this is the largest grant BKV has seen since the eighties. The board

unanimously approved the acceptance of the grant, and the restoration project is expected to begin this fall (2019).

Amendment to Joint Participation Agreement With Department of Transportation for Taxiway A Reconstruction Project at Brooksville - Tampa Bay Regional Airport and Associated Budget Resolution The board voted 5-0 to accept the budget resolution reflecting that funding assistance has increased by approximately $600,000.

County Administrator Jeff Rogers reported that with these funds, the boardwalk at Linda Pedersen Park will be replaced within the next year.

Commissioner Wayne Dukes gave a

brief history of the nine-year journey since the Event Horizon accident. “There were five states affected around the Gulf of Mexico. Four of the states, not counting Florida … the governors said, ‘I’ll deal with it.’ At that time, Governor (Rick) Scott says, ‘No, I want a representative from every county that was affected because they know what they need.’”

The final decision was to disburse the reimbursement over fifteen years.

Dukes has been on the committee dealing with the BP oil funds since 2012.

ABOVE: Proposed development master plan

also provide a smaller home option.

Benge, who is based in the Orlando area said that the “McMansion” of the mid-2000s is becoming less desired by home-buyers, and that the smaller sizes could serve as a “starter home, or your winding down home.” Concerned about the smaller lots and homes, most residents are fear the character of the neighborhood changing. One area resident said, “You’re going to build these houses so people are on top of each other, and it will look like Miami.” Benge explained that this type of development has been popular in recent years in metropolitan areas such as Tampa and Orlando.

Several voices countered with, “This is Spring Hill.”

Benge expects the asking price for the new homes to be around $200,000. One recent home buyer said, “(Maybe) in a place like Orlando … but you can’t guarantee that this is going to sell at the rate you’re anticipating.”

Minutes of discord broke out at several points.

Ranging from murmurs to shouted profanities, attendees expressed their concerns about sinkholes, school districting, and the possibility of the development becoming a haven for crime.

Drawing applause from the audience, a resident who lives on Northcliffe described the daily traffic tangle residents experience when Explorer K-8 students are heading to and from the school. Benge explained that traffic studies will be

performed, however the school traffic does not occur during peak times, such as 4-6 PM, and that the current traffic density on Northcliffe is about 40%, based on a previous study.

It was also stated that children living in the new development would not be able to attend Explorer K-8, since the school is currently at capacity. However, with this meeting being the first of a long planning and building process, it is not currently possible to determine which schools would serve the future students living there.

Benge addressed concerns over the development degrading in quality and attracting criminal activity by stating that each of his residential developments have Homeowner’s

Associations (HOAs) in place, and that the formal covenants are handled appropriately. “I would not be investing my personal capital if I thought it was going to be anything remotely like that.”

Residents who wish to follow the process can attend Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) meetings, usually held on the second Monday of the month, and Board of County Commissioners meetings, held the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month.

Official hearing dates will be posted around the property, and will also be published in the legal notice sections of local publications.

The 16 year old who received the gun from the 15 year old and carried it into the school until the exchange was made is charged with possession or discharging a firearm on school property.

The 17 year old who was to be the primary buyer is charged with grand theft of a firearm and possession or discharging a firearm on school property.

The two other 17 year olds who accompanied the primary buyer are changed with principle to grand theft of a firearm and possession or discharging a firearm on school property.

Nienhuis advised that the current charges could be modified or new charges added by the State Attorney.

The current charges are 3rd degree felonies which carry fines up to $5000 and up to 5 years in prison.

Three of the students have prior felony arrests.

The 15 year old who stole the gun from his relative has two prior unspecified felony arrests. One of the 17 year olds who was present during the exchange has three prior felonies, including Robbery and Assault With a Deadly Weapon. The other 17 year old accomplice has a prior felony arrest for Written Threats to Kill.

But I’m glad I kept sewing, as it led to meeting new people, and best of all, helping people feel good about themselves.

Sometimes, a button falls off. At times, a zipper breaks. And it seems on the busiest day of the year, a seam rips on your favorite pants or skirt.

NFL Flag Football bringing the community together

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALICE MARY HERDEN

On Saturday Sept. 7, the fall season for the Spring Hill NFL Flag Football League at Delta Woods Park kicked off. The park’s only football field was filled with kids aged four, up to the more competitive teenagers.

Local high school and middle school coaches were in attendance including Central’s football coach Robert Walden, Explorer’s coach Billy Hughes and Springstead’s Athletic Director Dustin Kupcik. Referees included Nature Coach Tech’s golfer Michael Machnicki and quarterback Vaughn Sykora.

“On the football field, I think it’s definitely trying to stay hype and be with your team. But out here you have to see the game as a whole,” said Nature Coast Tech’s quarterback Vaughn Sykora.

“I have to stay more aware of everything on the field and make sure the kids are having a good time.”

Andrew Sitar and his wife, Lana along with his brother John formed the Spring Hill NFL Flag Football League in 2017.

“My kids were doing other youth sports, and there were just a lot of things I thought could be much better for the kids, a better experience. We want to provide that overall experience for the kids,” said League President Andrew Sitar.

Hours of coffee sipping, a little gossiping, and hundreds of pins and needles filled Ms. Helen’s tiny sewing room. Ms. Helen was my grandmother. She lived on one of the saltiest, reddest dirt roads in the deep, southern swamps of Alabama. She was also my next door neighbor, when I was a young girl.

Today, she still lives there. In her 50 year old, red-brick two-story house that overlooks a white cotton field, where the humid ripe-orange sun sets every evening.

At 83 years old, she continues to sew, in that same, tiny sewing room.

Sewing is a dying art, for the most part, especially in my generation. I grew up in the late 1980s and 1990s. One of those “old millennials,” I guess they say. Whatever that is. I’ve only met one or two other women (my age) who enjoy it. The craft is certainly not a popular hobby nowadays. Nor was it popular back in high-school.

Suppose I’m not all that good at being popular.

Proof of my unpopularity status is when I walked into my first sewing shop.

Bopping in with my blonde hair and baby on my hip, I sure didn’t blend in well with the group of baby boomers gathered around for a pattern-block sewing class. I sat down, anyway. While the baby napped in his car seat next to me, I went to work on my brand new Janome 3160. I wasn’t quite sure where I lost my identity.

Certainly it was somewhere between Lucille Ball and Katherine Heigl (who prefers Bernina machines).

Even though I felt more awkward than after a sneeze while waddling

How's the weather?

By Steve Norris

The chance of showers and storms increases to about 60% for Thursday and Friday as a weak disturbance moves from the Bahamas across the Florida peninsula. Some of these storms will contain frequent lightning and very heavy downpours. We are also going to be dealing with excessive heat and humidity with high temperatures in the 90s and a heat index hitting 105 on a few days. This is a busy time of year in the Atlantic and there are several systems between the United States and Africa that we will have to watch.

Saturday night is the full moon and this one is the Harvest Moon.

Its name comes from the extra light it gives farmers to harvest their crops, the name was given back in the day before electricity was available. The Harvest Moon is the full moon that appears nearest to the start of fall or the autumnal equinox. A Friday the 13th full moon appearance is a rare one, and won’t happen again for another 20 years on Aug. 13, 2049. It’s been estimated that $800 or $900 million is lost in business on Friday the 13th because people avoid making big purchases or risky financial moves.

Many skyscrapers still avoid labeling a 13th floor, instead skipping from 12 to 14. Superstitions about the date Friday the 13th, are rooted in Christianity. The thirteenth guest at the Last Supper was the apostle Judas, who betrayed Jesus, and Jesus’s crucifixion took place on a Friday.

Public Invited to Attend Tres Vidas at Saint Leo University September 30, 7 p.m.

Theatrical performance in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month; admission is free ST. LEO – In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Saint Leo University is hosting a staging Monday, September 30, at 7 p.m., of Tres Vidas (Three Lives), a dramatic work that depicts three prominent Latinas from modern history. Admission and campus parking are free and the public is invited.

The performance will be held in the Saint Leo University Student Community Center, 33701 State Road 52, St. Leo, FL, 33574.

The musical group Core Ensemble and actress Jenyvette Vega will bring the audience scenes from the lives of: · Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), the well-known and self-taught Mexican painter who struggled with disabilities and pain from an early-life illness and a bus accident, as well a difficult marital relationship. Her struggles were represented in much of her art, which remains popular today. · Rufina Amaya (1943 - 2007) of Salvador, who was one of the few to survive a 1981 massacre that government soldiers unleased upon a village during the Salvadoran civil war. She was a wife and mother and lost most of her family, though one daughter who was not in the village at the time of the attack also survived. Because Amaya insisted on telling the truth about the atrocity, supporting evidence was eventually located and she was able to give formal legal testimony about the grievous human rights abuses. · Argentinian Alfonsina Storni (1892 -1938), who is considered one of foremost poets in Latin American literature and is celebrated as an early feminist poet.

She often supported herself through teaching and journalism, and advocated for equal rights for women in her country.

The text of the show was written by professor and prolific Chilean-American author Marjorie Agosin.

Tres Vidas at Saint Leo University is sponsored by The College of Arts and Sciences, the Division of Student Affairs, the Student Government Union, and the Center for Global Engagement.

Hunting

Cleaning up the little things Springstead gives Nature Coast their second loss of the season

Archery Season 2019

It has sure taken long enough to get here, but archery season in our section of Florida, Zone C, as defined by the Florida Wildlife Commission has finally arrived! To say I’m excited about opening morning is a huge understatement and I know that there are so many of you out there sharing my excitement.

My inbox has filled up lately with requests for where to go and looking for tips and tactics to fill your tailgates and I’m mighty grateful to each of you who have taken the time to e-mail me. I truly wish you all great success!

For my non-hunting fans, whom I as well happily hear from often, I know you won’t be in the field Saturday morning, but I do hope that you’ll take a chance and join us at some point. It isn’t necessary to build skills with a weapon with the intent of procuring dinner; truly, you can experience the same level of excitement by harvesting your memories with a camera. The point is to be there and smell the woods, hear the sounds of undisturbed nature, see wildlife unaware and immerse yourself into the wild places. It will give you a beautiful experience while shedding away any stress and anxiety from your normal day to day life.

For me, it’s more of a spiritual journey than wholly about filling a cooler. I think of all of the big churches I’ve visited however solemnly ornate, and how none of them could possibly compare with Florida’s wilderness. The brilliantly colored birds and the soul soothing sounds of life all about which gives such a soothing feeling of peace. Some of the places I’ve hunted here along the coast at times, look to me like the kind of place even God would visit to relax after a long day of watching over us sinners. Not likely He’d go and sit inside of a church.

I’ve always been attracted to the wild and lonely places. As a boy I was gifted the freedom to roam at will over the family farm and the neighboring woods. I learned many lessons in those days chasing squirrels and other small game with my bow and arrow and even as a teenager after I’d arrowed my first buck. I felt like the richest kid on the planet as I sat there amongst the palmettoes stroking his soft hide, patting the hardened antlers and

Central brings down Belleview Eagles running back Jaylen Thompson gains yardage against the Sharks.

BY MEL SUITER HERNANDO SUN REPORTER PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALICE MARY HERDEN

Well, it sorta looked better!

With the shutout defeat of August 30, still a fresh and a tender memory, Nature Coast Tech High School football coach Cory Johns wanted to witness his team’s ability to overcome the adversity and play a better game of football.

On a hot Friday night, Sept. 6, once again the Sharks felt the disappointment of another defeat. A 30-19, lost against cross town rival, Springstead High School.

The lost did do some harm to the Sharks, because it was the third home game of the season, inside a very steamy and sweaty night at the Shark Tank.

After the game the Sharks left with their team meeting in the end zone, there was still plenty of excitement in the air from the fans. They lined up on the sideline showing their support and to also exhibit loud encouragement toward the battled-tested Sharks.

The 2019 State of Florida football season is now four weeks old and the Sharks have only one win this season, but Johns is still calm about the rest of the season.

“We’re playing better especially offensively, we are playing much better defensively,” Johns said after the game. “We were moving the ball up and down the field.

It’s just penalty-stall drives and you can’t do that, small mistakes add up.”

During the game, Johns expanded the offensive playbook against the Eagles’ defense. There were some different combinations of formation, different players for added depth and a rotation of quarterbacks to run the different formation.

There were I-formations option, veer formation, there were triple receivers on one side of the line of scrimmage and what appeared to be the most successful formation of the night, a Wildcat formation featuring junior halfback Dedric Hall taking direct snaps.

Johns explained after the game, that the Wildcat is a formation that helps the Sharks get a little more physical and to take advantage of open space.

“It was our best offensive formation of the night, Dedric is our best offensive player,” Johns said. “We are more physical than them.

And when we lined up and oppose our will on them, we can have Dedric find some space.”

Getting over the shutout against South Sumter High School was the challenge for the week of practice for Johns and for the Sharks. Johns wanted to observe if his team could adapt, overcome the adversity and score touch-

smelling how sweet he smelled. I cried a little then as I recall. Not for having taken the life, but for the overwhelming solemnity of it all. I guess it was just an instinctive reaction, because the emotions are just as strong over thirty years later.

I’ll tell you too, a great thing about hunting is that

downs.

With five minutes left in the second quarter, the scoreless streak for the Sharks came to an end. Shark’s quarterback Vaughn Sykora found Hall streaking on a flag route for 45-yards and a touchdown. Which breathed a little bit of life for the Sharks’ bench and created a chance for celebration from the student section in the stands.

The momentum did not stay long with the Sharks.

The very next possession for the Eagles, they proceeded down the field with some timely running by the running backs and by the surprising accurate arm of Springstead High School quarterback Max O’Rourke.

Eagles’ senior wide receiver David Battle caught the first pass of the night for the Eagles, it was an eight-yard reception and he turned it into a touchdown.

Johns has mentioned that he would recommend not to kick the football to NCT junior Kinyatah Morgan. For most of the night and in fact most of the season, that is what the opposition has been doing. The opposition knows all about Morgan’s special gift and he is not afraid to use it for his team.

Springstead High School Football coach Michael Garofano described one of the two big special team’s plays of the game, as a roller coaster ride of emotions.

“We were kicking off from their 45-yard line and 99 times out of 100, he would put it through the back end of the end zone. He missed it, it was like a golf shot. He just clunked it,” Garofano said. “ I saw it and said, ‘Oh Boy!’ I know how dynamic of a player Morgan is.”

Morgan waited for the kick, as the ball wobbled through the balmy night air.

Then the football fell out of the air, down to the turf.

The football bounced up and Morgan slapped the ball back down onto the grass of the field, he picked the ball up and then the excitement erupted.

With the football secure, Morgan moved to the left and he was at an angle and then he made a move that brought the rest of the fans from both sides to their feet as they watched, a video-game-like move that left the defender reaching around to pick up his uniform, his shoes and his pads from the grass field.

Morgan navigated the rest of the field as it opened up and then he just ran into the end zone with a 92-yard easy sprint, untouched for the score.

A play for the Sharks that should have found themselves with some brand new confidence in their offense, with their defense, as they score a touchdown that found the Sharks trailing the Eagles by two points.

you don’t have to take a life to have enjoyed it.

Many’s the time I’ve let an old buck walk off after having him in my sights.

The freezer already filled back home, the need for fresh meat at a minimum and the scene of his arrival too special to spoil; as if it would somehow be rude to let the arrow fly.

They walk away never

Then biggest play of the game unfolded in front of the Sharks and Johns.

A 78-yard kickoff return by Eagles running back Anthony Alexis and the thought of making a comeback was erased right out of the equation for the Sharks.

“Anthony’s kickoff return was great and of course I was happy with the result,” Garofano said. “They were getting some momentum, they were getting field position, they were scoring and then the momentum turned with the kick return, it was unbelievable. He was a couple of inches from our sideline, there were three guys there and then someone had a key block to wall off and he just turned on the burners.”

Johns took the blame for the kickoff return for the touchdown.

“Big play, the kickoff return for the touchdown, that was my fault,” Johns said. “We have some kids that were down and I threw a kid in there. He really didn’t know his responsibility, which is not to let anybody outside, between him and the sideline nothing gets by him but that is my fault and I should’ve not done that.”

During the game, it felt like some progress was being made by the Sharks’ offense and there were some special moments by the defense but the Sharks are creating too much of a struggle for themselves.

An area that does need to be addressed is the amount of penalties that the Sharks have accumulated. Especially the penalties that have taken the Sharks out of good field position, stop drives and the ones that have removed points from the scoreboard.

“At the end of the day, I think it is penalties,” Johns said. “We had two touchdowns come back. They got together and talked about it, one called defensive pass interference the other called offensive pass interference and then down here they called one back. I’d be willing to bet that we had more offense production, we were moving the ball up and down the field.”

Johns also said that the defense improved and that they did not allow a touchdown in the second half.

Unfortunately, the defense is not immune to the plague of penalties being called on the Sharks. There were too many infractions that extended the opposition’s possession with the ball.

This is one part of the game that Johns said that he will clean up, because you can’t win games with these little things adding up to one big thing.

Continuing to look for some help, Johns has reached out and into the Junior Varsity team to add some depth to his roster. That is a good move

the wiser and I too walk away with a wonderful memory.

STAFF REPORT Central’s game against Belleview was originally scheduled for 9/6, but was rescheduled for Monday 9/9.

Central beat Belleview 41-30.

For the Bears, Albert Sorrentino reports, “Monday night’s make up game vs Belleview High School was more of the same for the Bears. Another 6 touchdown night for Central running back Contae Cason, lead the Bears to a 41-30 victory, upping their season record to 3 wins and 0 losses. The Bears led at one point 35-6.

Come out and support the Bears as they take on the Lecanto Panthers Friday night at 7:30 PM at The Bears Den.” The Bears proudly tweeted about running back Contae Cason, “After 3 games, our own @CasonContae leads THE NATION in total TDs and is 3rd in rushing yards, and is 2nd in the state in rushing yds. Can't be more proud of this young man!!”

Some of Cason’s stats: 17 TD (1st in the nation), 102 points scored (1st in the nation), 715 rushing yards (3rd in the nation, 2nd in Florida) During the game against Belleview Cason racked up 266 yards in 32 rushes, 6 rushing touchdowns and 1 reception for 3 yards. Cason was designated the overall player of the game for the Bears.

Defensive player of the game designation for Central went to Peyton Chancey No. 19. He had 5 tackles, 1 pass break up, 1 forced fumble and 1 fumble recovery.

Hassan Ellerbee No. 14 on special teams for the Bears had 2 tackles and was a disruptive force on kickoffs. For this Central gave him the special teams player of the game recognition.

Central’s offensive player of the game was Jesse Sorensen #55 who paved the way for 429 total yards.

for the future because it gives some valuable experience for young players, which is going to help the Sharks in the long term.

Next week, Nature Coast Tech will find out what it’s like to be away from the comfortable surroundings of the Shark Tank. The Sharks will board the armada of buses and take their first road trip of the season.

Their destination will be to the bright lights of the city of Wesley Chapel, to face the 3-0, Wiregrass Ranch High School Bulls, Friday night,

Sept 13, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Finding the answers to cure the problem of penalties being called and enforced against the Sharks, finding some depth for the roster and being creative on offense are steps in the right direction for Nature Coast Tech High School.

Going toward the right direction is a positive move for Johns but it does not make the bitter sting of defeat feel any better, because the only balm for that - is a win!

HCA's six man football season off to strong start ARTICLE & PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALICE MARY HERDEN

On Thursday night Sept. 5, Hernando Christian Academy held their first 6-man football game against Newberry Christian Community, and it was a glorious win for the Lions; 43-12.

There was an uncertainty of how the team would perform due to practice cancellations, but Coach Raley was pleasantly surprised by the team’s ability to pull it off.

“We came out yesterday (Wednesday), and it was the only day of practice for the entire week, HCA head football coach David Raley said.

“Everything was crisp, and we were moving the ball well.”

Florida Christian Association of Private and Parochial Schools (FCAPPS) Commissioner Chuck Howard attended the game to show his support for the teams within the league.

“It means a lot to me (to be here),” said Commissioner How-

ard. He explained that the league’s organizers try to be familiar with all the players, coaches, and refs in the league.

He said that for the schools who are involved in the league, their number one priority is safety.

“We put a cap on the number of hours you can actually have all-out

contact, and our league is the only league in the state doing this right now. Our kids are going to be less exposed to those full contacts, and I think that is a big plus,” Commissioner Howard said.

6-man football is a fast paced,competitive game, with aggressive field action, and in that case, tack-

ling techniques are changing.

“There are so many different tackling techniques taught nowadays with different equipment. A lot of major universities have gone to different tackling styles. The Seattle Seahawks started it out with what they call hawk tackling,” Commissioner Howard said.

“Golf is one of those sports that teaches you about the head game. If you play another sport,

golf will teach you how to manage your emotions probably better than any other sport out there. It’s very humbling,” Bell explained.

What is hawk tackling?

According to the Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll and former defensive passing game coordinator Rocky Seto it is all about the shoulders.

They have promoted their tackling techniques since 2014 by emphasizing on shoulder tackling and keeping the helmet out of the tackle.

The game against Newberry Christian Community was a good start for Hernando Christian Academy and a great show of sportsmanship was on display.

“These are good kids, most of them have been in our system for years and know how to conduct themselves,” Coach Raley said.

HCA’s upcoming game on Friday is against one of the top contenders in the league, Cornerstone Academy. The Lions focus will be their team’s strength and field performance.

“It’s a non-conference game, and it will test who we are,” Coach Raley said. “We are not the biggest or the fastest; we have to win by being accurate.”

Hernando cruises by Lake Weir 51-0 for first win of the season

BY ANDY VILLAMARZO HERNANDO SUN SPORTS REPORTER PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHERYL CLANTON

BROOKSVILLE- The first two games of the regular season haven’t exactly gone the way Hernando would’ve liked them to go.

To kickoff the season, the Leopards faced perennial state title contender Lakeland Lake Gibson and we’re defeated by the tune of 41-0 at home.

Hernando was able to make things a bit more interesting in its second game when they traveled to the east coast and faced Eau Gallie on the road.

The Leopards ended up falling 13-7 in a close contest and looked to finally pickup win No. 1 when they welcomed Lake Weir into town.

Hernando (1-2) was finally able to get off the winless side and picked up the team’s first win of the season when they cruised to a 51-0 victory over Lake Weir Saturday morning at Tom Fisher Stadium. The Leopards head into next Friday’s game against Crystal Riv-

er with some momentum with the victory. Hernando head coach Rob Kazmier stated that his team needed the win regardless.

“It was huge,” Kazmier said about picking up the first win of 2019. “It was huge to finally get that first win off of our backs. We know we are not an 0-2 football team.

We played a very good Lake Gibson team in the first week and a very good Eau Gallie team last week. Something I made sure about our schedule this year was no more starting off with running clock games. Those games didn’t do anything for us. Now that we have the tough ones out of the Leopard #5 Jordan Williams breaks through the Hurricanes to go for the touchdown while #11 Jacob Batten and #53 way, we will be ready for Andre Woods come in to protect Williams. whatever comes our way.” a 13-0 advantage.

This type of sportsmanship is a great thing to see, especially between two teams that vied for the top county record last season.

Nature Coast Tech led the 2018 season with a 25-2 record, followed by Weeki Wachee at 18-8.

Reg and Elaine Williams were married shortly after Elaine graduated from high school in 1944.

Surrounded by their three sons, daughters-in-law and other family members, the couple celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary on Saturday, Sept. 7, 2019.

Mr. Williams served in the Army Infantry division, and the two married while he was home on leave.

Shortly afterward, he rejoined his fellow service members in the Battle of the Bulge during World War II. All smiles as they recalled the highlights of their long marriage, Elaine laughed and said, “Our first car had a rumble seat. Do you know what that is?”

I did not, and she explained that it was a seat that opened from the trunk of the car.

Reg said, “We worked together, we played together...” The two met during high school at a roller skating rink in Maine. They continued to skate together in adulthood, and later began downhill skiing after their children were grown. The couple worked together at the businesses they built which included a telephone answering service, a television satellite provider, and a Morrow's Nut House franchise.

Neither had a specific secret to their long lived happiness, but Elaine summarized, “Consideration.

Love comes first. Patience, and being able to see each other’s point of view.”

from page 1 health care for all, regardless of ability to pay.

After moving from Brooksville to Spring Hill in 2011, over 45,000 patient visits have been provided at the clinic.

Today, figures show that between Jan. 1 and June 30 this year, volunteers at the clinic contributed over 7,000 hours of support services. During the same time, 23 licensed professionals provided $277,867 in health care for 1,643 patients.

“This shows how vital the clinic is and how it saves taxpayers and hospital charity care millions of dollars each year,” said Barbara Sweinberg, the administrator of the Crescent Community Clinic.

She added that it’s only because the clinic’s licensed providers and general support staff volunteer so many hours each year that access to health care is available for those who otherwise would rely on hospital emergency rooms for non-emergent care.

“When the uninsured

use hospital emergency rooms for non-emergent care it costs everyone,”she said. “The clinic’s quality healthcare services stabilize patients so they do not have to rely on hospital emergency rooms.”

Nick Morana, longtime supporter of Crescent Community Clinic and Board Director of Hernando County Enrichment Centers said, “I am very proud of the clinic because they do so many good things for those who are less fortunate and have no insurance and need medical attention.”

“I hope and pray that the clinic can grow and that the number of doctors volunteering their time increases,” he said. “It’s truly a labor of love.”

Since its launch, Crescent Community Clinic has been totally self-sustaining and independent of government funding.

But the ever growing need to expand health care services is evidenced by the 25 to 30 new applications received by the clinic each month from the less fortunate residents of the county seeking a wide variety of health services.

“The clinic relies on the

donations of the community to meet the yearly budget,” Sweinberg says.

“To meet this increasing need for health care, the clinic is embarking on a Capital Campaign to achieve their goal of $350,000.”

“In today’s economic climate,” said Sweinberg, “it is time for us to seek the community’s support in order for the clinic to continue to be a vital health care organization for the uninsured and indigent citizens of Hernando County.”

“Over 70 percent of our patients are considered homeless or near homeless,” she said.

According to AARP, Florida ranks 44th in the nation in individual charitable giving and 50th in the nation in volunteering. However, individual charitable giving has been at an all-time low so your financial support, however small, will help Crescent Community Clinic continue to provide more health care to the uninsured, indigent and under-served in Hernando County.

behalf of the clinic and its patients,” said Sweinberg.

“It has been both challenging and rewarding and I hope the community will help support us with the expansion of clinic services and continued success.”

Tolerance of political correctness and hate speech will culminate in intolerance of traditional Americans DOMENICK J. MAGLIO, PH.D.

“Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice. Tolerance in the face of tyranny is no virtue.” Barry Goldwater

Just like parents who are tolerant of their children’s less than positive or even destructive behavior is a dereliction of duty so are citizens who are willing to remain silent in the face of an assault on our basic freedoms. Parents have to battle their children to civilize them. Patriotic Americans have to verbally battle progressives who want to rip apart our institutions and moral values. Some political elites: professors, journalists, naïve students and the mentally unbalanced who want everything for nothing have to be told “No” when they are trampling the rights of others.

These offensive behaviors and childish beliefs are not acceptable to traditional people because it leads a person down an evil path.

Although being tolerant of others is often a won-

Traditional Realist derful characteristic, some progressives have gone to the extreme for themselves.

They believe they should have little or no respect for others with different viewpoints. These progressive elites alone should have the freedom “to do their own thing” without concern for how it impacts others in the present and the future.

The 1960s Sexual Revolution blurred the mores concerning interpersonal relationships. These mores increase the acceptability of any attire, body piercing, vulgar language, tattoos, and sexual experimentation, which became chic.

“Deviance down” became so evident that we have lost our bearings of what is evil and what is good. What was historically preferred behavior is ridiculed. It is being replaced by narcissistic actions that consider the individual’s interest over the family and the community. Our moral compass no longer functions and is stuck in the “me” generation.

We are in a cultural civil war where the original meaning of words and expressions have been corrupted. The terms, “Political Correctness” and “Hate Speech,” in the last decade were introduced to our culture. Their use is a subtle way to handcuff free speech and foster self-censorship.

Once the elite government informs us what words and concepts are politically incorrect or racist we are on a direct lane to national indoctrinations. This strategy of limiting what is acceptable to think and say stifles free speech by inserting the fear of government retaliation

into the hearts of citizens.

Tolerance of our government’s gradual and systematic removal of our First Amendment of free speech is a threat to all our freedoms and national identity.

Freedom of speech is paramount in keeping us a nation ruled by the people not an oligarchy of the elites. Tolerance of intolerant behavior by government is cowardice. The citizens of the United States have a responsibility to stand up against the federal bureaucratic government elite’s attempt to limit our rights and protections against a totalitarian coup. When Antifa members threaten and attack using fists, pistols and destruction of property, it is unconscionable and leads to the intimidation of law-abiding citizens.

When Antifa is using Gestapo tactics progressive government officials ordering the police to “stand down” is nothing more than encouraging and condoning lawlessness. The same process of

When TV turned traitor In the television culture of my family, power failures and technical difficulties were dreaded enemies.

I remember well my moments of anguish, when I was young in ‘68, sitting in the dark, unable to believe or even comprehend the sudden unplugging of my brain from the TV and the plunging of my senses into the eerie darkness and silence of a dead house. Or, when it was a glitch in the broadcast, angrily whispering “Come on! Come on!

Come on!” while my ears and eyes remained fixed to the hiss and snow or to the pattern or the message, all a kind of death mask on my luminous omniarch.

And as the “one moment, please” stretched into minutes, and the words and gestures of my favorite people in the whole world remained banished within the impenetrable doors of failed prime time, life itself seemed to drain away. O, what was the point of living!

Finally, when it became apparent that our ritual of furniture grasping, head shaking, gasping sighs, and name-calling proved useless, our focus turned to the only avenue of revenge available: set rejection.

“Fine!” Dad would growl, as he stomped to the television set. “If those stupid people can’t keep their stupid show on the stupid air, we just won’t watch the stupid thing!”

And with a quick flick of his fist, he’d shut off the set. (The on/off knob stuck out from the set back then, looking kind of like a rook from the game of Chess.) After which we’d mill around the house as though lost, gaze out the windows in silent agitation, and finally busy ourselves with getting ready for bed. If it was early enough in the evening, well before actual bedtime, and we really wanted to show that set a thing or two, we’d each read a book in the living room. Not a word would penetrate our minds,

GOOFY STUFF

but just the act of holding a book in plain view of the set as punishment for its treachery was enough to give us some sense of control over the situation.

A little while into that routine, one of us would turn the TV back on, with the volume down to keep from hearing that horrible sound of static, to see if the set had learned its lesson. We did this about every thirty to sixty seconds. And when the snow or message began its slow materialization, emphasizing its complete indifference to our plight, we would again shut it off, each time with more sure and growing disgust. Then we’d all stare at our books with renewed purpose, loudly flipping pages.

Feebly, we would continually check one last time for the return of our vaudevillian master. And then, just when the world could end and we wouldn’t care, the set would finally have pity on us, and there on the glowing square appeared the light we longed to see.

We’d slap shut our books in staccato applause, drinks we had prepared for the vigil would warm or cool, Dad’s cigarette would fume the room with filter smoke, and

WILLIAM F. HOLLAND

MINISTER / CHAPLAIN

The story of our life is being written

When it comes to finding our place in this world, let’s consider two categories.

The first one I call, “floating down the river.” Picture a scenario of someone napping in a small boat without a compass or a paddle. Having a spectator mentality, they have no map or intentional direction but rather are just hoping for the best.

It’s also common for these individuals to throw pity parties from time to time, as a happy-go-lucky lifestyle usually runs into serious disappointments. Often haunted with thoughts of being left behind, they

time generally stood still while we breathlessly absorbed our dose of waking dreams.

Ah, soothing, effortless, electric sleep!

And we’d all watch without moving, heedless of rebellious bladders and unconcerned with bloodless limbs, until that dreaded (dreaded by us kids) intrusion by the redundant dimension in the form of the news woke us up. Then it was time for bed.

Occasionally, shortly after the return of power or the end of technical difficulties, after we’d immersed ourselves in prime-time euphoria, there would be a second unplugging of our brains. That was absolutely intolerable, and we’d all go ballistic.

Forgotten books thrown to the floor, hair-pulling, the calling down of fire and brimstone upon those faceless incompetents, and my father stomping to the wall while damning those idiots at the power plant or those imbeciles at the station (both mysterious references to me, then) and ripping the cord from the socket, depriving the villainously fickle creature of its lifeblood. Then we kids would sulk to bed and stare hatefully at the ceiling until real, healing sleep overcame and calmed us.

The next night we’d all watch television with tentative interest, fearing that if we allowed ourselves to be lulled, the set would again show us who was boss. We’d sit and stare askance at the screen, not willing to let it fully rejoin our family until it had proven its trustworthiness.

And so we lived, sometimes with animosity, usually with sublime admiration and often outright adoration for that peculiar member of our family, the television.

That is, until years later in Korea, when we got a taste of what entertainment was like in the old world.

But that’s another tale.

are caught in a vicious cycle of confusion and discouragement. As a Christian counselor, I’ve tried to help those who are stuck in this drifting mindset and certainly have compassion on them, but we all have to do our share of searching and praying.

No doubt it’s extremely difficult to figure out our calling, but it’s also not helping the situation by living in denial and blaming everyone else for our problems and failures.

It’s always scary to move out of our comfort zone and face reality because sometimes life can seem like a huge mountain that’s impossible to climb. If you’ve ever tried to help someone find their direction, you understand when I say we cannot force anyone to do anything and neither can we help those who are not willing to help themselves. In every area of life, those who desire a healthy state of being must see the truth about their own circumstances and be willing to do something about it. Since God’s character and nature is divine order, we can agree there are no mandates or divine commissions for floating aimlessly through life. The good news is that God is patiently waiting to help us whenever our passion to change becomes stronger than our excuses.

I believe that having Jesus Christ as the Lord of our life is the meaning and purpose for everything we do and this brings me to our second point. As the author and finisher

neutering police and teachers is happening all over the country in progressive cities.

We cannot act like sheeple.

Citizens need to demand a responsible and strong police response to enforce law and order. There is no justification to be a silent victim tolerating intolerable behavior.

The traditional silent majority needs to reassert themselves in the local, state and federal voting booth. Our voices need to be heard not silenced by being called “flag waving, racist, deplorable, and intolerable humans.” We have the right of freedom of speech and it needs to be exercised or it will be silenced by fear of being ridiculed as racist or being physically attacked.

Either we have the courage to openly debate illogical and unworkable concepts or we will become a progressive socialist society. Once in power they will label and prosecute citizens with ideas that oppose theirs.

They will use their abhorrent McCarthy-like Black List

on conservatives instead of the communists the way they did with Texas donors to President Trump’s campaign and the defenders of traditional marriage.

Arbitrary political correctness and hate speech cannot co-exist with freedom of speech.

America can and only will remain free through free speech and voting by all citizens. We should not allow a small group of elites who want to dictate the straws, foods, definition of marriage, gender, fuels, and every interaction by their edicts.

Live and speak free or we will die as another, centrally controlled socialist/ Communist failure.

Finding solutions to Veteran suicides requires all-hands-on-deck A disturbing number of Veterans take their own lives in the U.S. On average, approximately 7,300 Veterans die from suicide each year. Despite significant efforts and billions of dollars invested by the state and federal governments across the nation, suicide rates among Veterans rose 26 percent from 2005 to 2016. In Florida alone, nearly 600 Veterans die from suicide each year at a rate slightly higher than the national average.

Finding a solution to this public health crisis requires an aspirational, innovative, all-hands-ondeck approach – not government as usual. The VA alone cannot achieve effective or lasting reductions in the Veteran suicide rate.

To make a real impact, Federal, state, and local providers of resources must partner together, pool resources, and coordinate care and delivery of services efficiently.

In Florida, we recognize these challenges and are taking proactive steps to break down bureaucratic barriers; working together to form a wide-ranging coalition of government and non-profit organizations who offer resources to Veterans in need of our help the most – before they reach a crisis point.

We are proud to say that we are making progress on multiple fronts. This is best demonstrated through the development and growth of the Florida Veterans Support Line, 1-844-MyFLVet (693-5838). Supported by the VA Sunshine Healthcare Network (VISN 8), Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs, Florida Department of Children and Families, and operated by the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay, the line provides confidential emotional support and connection to community resources 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The line is available to all Veterans in Florida.

of our faith, God’s word reminds us that he’s drawn a general outline and a specific one-of-a-kind blueprint for everyone’s life according to his perfect plans. It’s true, he rarely writes, “John Smith will be a plumber” on the wall, but the basic concept of the Christian life is to be determined to listen and trust him. This truth encourages and motivates us, but another aspect of this challenge is to realize there are certain conditions and responsibilities on our part and in order for his plan to be fully activated, it will require surrendering our will to him.

You see, with God being the Potter and us being the clay, it’s critical to accept the fact that we do not conveniently add God to the ambitions we already have, but rather to allow him to transform us into a brand-new creation. Yes, it’s painful to not be in control, however this is a very important part of our personal relationship with Christ. Our spiritual mission is more about him molding us into his image than blessing our ideas.

He desires to be more than a Savior; He demands to be our Lord.

Personal change is not easy and anyone who advertises how wonderful it is to sacrifice, suffer and be uncomfortable, probably has a degree in marketing. There’s nothing wrong with reading books about how other people have accomplished their goals, but even if we become experts on how

Our work does not stop there.

As we continue to move forward together, we are meeting and learning from communities and local organizations about how best to partner with them and leverage the resources they can provide. Likewise, we are proactively working on expanded public health initiatives to align with Presidential Executive Order 13861 “National Roadmap to Empower Veterans and End Suicide” and opportunities that may become available from the national task force.

We continue to support and promote the abundance of VA resources available to Veterans to include the Veterans Crisis Line (1-800-273-8255, press 1).

Like the Florida Veterans Support Line, Veterans can call to receive confidential support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, even if they are not registered with VA or enrolled in VA health care.

So, what can you do to help?

First, add the Veterans Crisis Line and Florida Veterans Support Line to your mobile phone contacts. Second, share the numbers with others and ask them to do the same. Third, visit www.visn8. va.gov/savealife.asp to download and share outreach materials.

Be there for Veterans and active duty service members who may be in crisis. Listen to what they say, ask the hard questions, and assist them with connecting with VA and other important community resources. Be the difference and be there for a Veteran in crisis.

to be successful, this does not automatically mean we will. Besides, beyond the motivational seminars and the personal achievement formulas that are available, you are a unique individual and God has arranged a special path for you to take.

Allow me to include, there is no substitute for prayer and perseverance if we are to become all that God has called us to be.

Anyone that has experienced even a modest amount of success had to not only discover their spiritual blueprint, but to also arise from their couch and start building. Every idea needs faith and a plan, but without allowing God to lead and teach us, we will most likely never fulfill our destiny. May we remember, the story of our life is being written and if we choose to follow God’s plans, we are a true success and will never be disappointed or ashamed.

DORIAN RELIEF from page 1

Marker 48 Brewing

Marker 48 Brewing, a local microbrewery, filled empty fermentors and other tanks with water in preparation for Hurricane Dorian. This would have enabled them to supply water to the community in case the area lost power and/or other utilities because of the storm.

Marker 48 stores as much clean water as they can anytime a major storm is heading in our general direction. The fermentors are sealed sanitary storage containers which are cleaned and filled. They also filled a reverse osmosis tank. This would have been more than a thousand gallons of drinkable water available to the area.

The owners of Marker 48, Maurice and Tina Ryman, initially got involved through their good friends Jeff and Betsy Graves, who have a condo on Grand Bahama and travel there often by boat.

The Graves wanted to take a trip to Grand Bahama to help out people they knew. This led Marker 48 to request donations to help those in the northern Bahamas that received the brunt of the storm, within two days they received so many supplies that they had to temporarily stop taking supplies.

"It has been awesome to see everyone come together to help our neighbors in the Bahamas," said Tina Ryman. The initial trip was

three boats going over to the Bahamas. The delay in accepting supplies allowed the Graves and others to deliver the supplies and report back on which supplies were the most needed.

Due to the supplies being delivered by boats they are placed in buckets with lids to keep them dry. The buckets are a useful tool on the island. Each bucket is labeled for the person they would help for instance women size medium.

Each bucket contains items to help a person survive a few days until more help arrived. Each bucket has several bottles of water, several canned food items, toilet paper, sanitary wipes, personal hygiene products, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, work gloves, and underwear. The buckets are packed for babies, toddlers, men and women of different sizes.

The supplies are distributed to a church on Grand Bahama that survived the hurricane.

On the first trip when they arrived, some of the people had gone a day without water.

The donated supplies made close to 200 buckets, plus there was extra water, cleaning supplies, and food that they were able to deliver. Currently they are collecting life critical supplies: water non-perishable food, tarps, wipes, diapers, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. They are not currently collecting used clothes or blankets.

They are also looking at creating cisterns for longer

term water supply. The water supply was damaged and it looks like it will take a little while to get it fixed.

If you have a large boat that can safely cross to the Bahamas and would like to help deliver supplies, you can message the Marker 48 Facebook page or call them at (352) 606-2509.

Mr & Ms Salon & Day Spa The owner of Mr & Ms Salon, Janie Wiley, has connections to the owners of Western Airline with service to the Bahamas.

Rexy, the VP of the airline is a family friend. Rexy's parents own the airline and they are from the Bahamas.

Mr & Ms Salon & Day Spa is collecting supplies now for Freeport, where Rexy lives. Janie Wiley and her daughter Polly are driving the collections in a UHaul truck down to Western Airline's hub in Fort Lauderdale, September 16th. Western Airline pilots will be flying the supplies to the Bahamas. They are accepting clothes, sheets, and towels along with life critical supplies.

If you would like to donate, please bring supplies to Mr & Ms Salon, 19283 Cortez Blvd. Rexy has also asked for all of us to pray for their family, their business and their country.

Bahamas. They received an overwhelming number of supplies. They were part of a drive that filled four cargo ships. Once the ships were nearly full the drive ended.

The community came together to help those affected by the hurricane.

The supplies that are being collected and delivered will help fill the gap until the major relief agencies can get their programs underway. Our community can be proud of their response to the disaster and the speed at which the relief efforts were started.

The Killingsworth Agency collected items at their Brooksville office. The donations were taken by cargo ship to the Abacos,
