Palatka- FL: On Tuesday, August 20, 2013, Putnam County Sheriff’s Office School Resource Deputies re-sponded to the Dean’s office at Palatka High School.

Upon arrival, Dep-uty Sheriff Diamond Lewis indicated he could smell the odor of cannabis inside the office. Deputy Lewis was briefed by school

officials, who related to him they received a tip about Shaquille Brown, a student, sell-ing cannabis at the school. The tipster fur-ther allowed that the drugs were concealed inside of a large Ari-zona brand sweet tea can.

A subsequent search of Brown revealed that he was in possession of the can described by the tipster. The can contained 16 small bags of cannabis, con-cealed within a hidden compartment.

Brown was subse-quently arrested for possession of can-nabis, with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia. His bond was set at $1508.00.

The second fund-raiser for William “BJ’ Laurie held this past Saturday at Merrill Hancock & Turner In-surance in Palatka was a success. A steady stream of bargain seek-ers turned out for the Stuff and Things Sale, helping Laurie and his family move closer to their goal of rais-ing $50,000. All pro-ceeds from the fund-raiser will go toward stem cell treatment and travel expenses for spinal cord injuries, which rendered Lau-rie a quadriplegic last April.

“It’s a lot of work but every cent counts,” said

Laura Turner, Laurie’s mother, “We appreci-ate everyone who came out and shopped or

stopped by to give a do-nation, it really means a lot to us.” For more information on future

fundraising events or how you can help, call: 386-325-0100 or 386-972-3963.

Interlachen- On Thursday, August 22, 2013, Putnam Coun-ty Sheriff’s Office Dep-uties responded to a possible armed distur-bance call at 127 Lake Louise Circle.

Upon arrival, depu-ties were met by a hys-terical female who in-dicated Jerry Hibbard was in the home, try-ing to kill her father-in-law, Joseph Leon-ard. The female told deputies that Joseph and Jerry were fighting in the bathroom with a knife.

Deputies entered the residence and imme-diately heard an obvi-ous altercation. Once at the bathroom door, deputies observed Jerry standing over

Joseph with a large butcher knife and a wooden cane.

Deputies observed Jerry attempting to stab Joseph with the knife and trying to choke Joseph with a hand around his neck. Deputies gave Joseph orders to drop the knife, however; he failed to comply ini-tially. Deputies again ordered him to drop the knife, Jerry relaxed his grip and Joseph grabbed the knife from him, attempting to stab Jerry.

According to the re-port, the bathroom walls and floor were covered in blood as a result of the stab-bing and struggle. In-vestigation revealed that Jerry entered the home without permis-sion and confronted Joseph.

The cause of the confrontation is un-known; however there was some indication of longstanding animos-ity between the two men. Jerry was arrest-ed on charges of bur-glary and attempted first degree murder.

A Florida-based cor-poration, EarthNC, through their conserva-tion venture Conserve.IO, has teamed up with Save the Manatee Club to help boaters reduce the chance of hitting and harming manatees in Florida waterways, with the free “Mana-tee Alert App.” This smart phone-based map displays instruc-tive visual alerts, no-tifying boaters when they are approaching manatee speed zones. It also helps facilitate the reporting of injured manatees and mana-tee harassment to the proper authorities to ensure urgent help where needed.

“The new Manatee Alert App is a good example of how smart phone technology can help the public become better informed, help protect an endangered species, and contrib-ute to preserving our environment,” says Brad Winney of Con-

serve.IO. “With the majority of the pub-lic now having some form of smart phone or tablet, applications like Manatee Alert can provide safety and con-servation messages in real-time.”

During the busy La-bor Day weekend and throughout the year, manatees are espe-cially vulnerable to the heavy boat traffic moving through the waterways in every direction. Florida’s manatees have already suffered a catastroph-ic year due to a pro-longed red tide event in southwest Florida and an unknown tox-in in the Indian River Lagoon. There have been 717 manatee deaths from all caus-es so far through Au-gust 9, which is high-er than any previous year’s total mortality, with exception of the cold stress mortali-ty event in 2010. At the current rate, the mortality for 2013 will likely break all previ-ous yearly mortality

records since record keeping began.

In addition to these complex events, boat collisions continue to pose a serious long-term threat to the manatee population. “Since many mana-tees inhabiting Florida waters bear the scars from past encounters with boats, use of the Manatee Alert App can go a long way towards preventing such inju-ries and deaths,” says Dr. Katie Tripp, Save the Manatee Club’s Di-rector of Science and Conservation.

Tripp is excited about the new app’s ability to help boaters help man-atees. “People from all over the world vacation in Florida and many recreate on Florida wa-ters. Public awareness and education to reach residents and visiting boaters are essential keys to manatee pro-tection.”

The Florida boating community is encour-aged to get the free Manatee Alert App as well as Save the Man-

atee Club’s free public awareness materials to help prevent mana-tee injuries, suffering, and death. Waterproof boating banners, dock signs for Florida shore-line property owners, boating decals, and waterway cards con-taining safe boating information, are avail-able by contacting Save the Manatee Club via e-mail at educa-tion@savethemanatee.org, by regular mail at 500 N. Maitland Ave., Maitland, FL 32751, or by calling toll free at 1-800-432-JOIN (5646). Manatee pro-tection tips for boaters can also be found on the Club’s website at http://www.savethem-anatee.org/boatertips.htm.

When I was a senior in high school, I was approached by a man who was the friend of the parents of a buddy of mine. My buddy lived in another Florida town and went to high school there. I lived in Orlando.

My pal had a girlfriend and he was taking her to his prom. He wanted me to get a date and double with him and his date. Since I attended Boone High in Orlando, I wasn’t eligible to attend my friends’ prom unless I took a girl from his school. My buddy’s Mom knew of a girl who needed a prom date and arranged for her Dad to call me.

The father called me and immediately swore me to silence. He offered to pay all of the prom expenses I would encounter (tux rental, corsage, gas and etc) if I would ask his daughter to go to the prom with me. I already knew of the girl and had met her at the beach we all frequented. She was a nice girl. She was not, however, a pretty girl! I understood why her Dad was involved and I sure didn’t want to hurt her feelings.

Furthermore, very few kids at that school even knew who I was. I told her father that I would be glad to take his daughter to her prom. I knew that doubling with my buddy and his girl would be fun. So, arrangements were made and I asked the girl via phone to accompany me. She was thrilled AND I made sure that she never knew of her Dad’s involvement.

The only time (prior to picking the girl up for the prom) that I had ever seen her was at the beach. She was always wearing a bathing suit. Being only an acquaintance, I had never really paid much attention to her. I was really in for a surprise when I picked her up at her house. While her Mom took pictures of us, her Dad discretely pressed a couple of large bills into my palm when we shook hands.

The girl had on the ugliest prom gown I had ever seen. It was much too tight and overly revealing. Her make-up looked like it had been applied with a trowel. Her hair was pulled atop her head in a beehive fashion. She really looked like a clown! I realized immediately that I was really earning her Dad’s money. The poor thing had gone to a lot of trouble and expense to make herself look truly hideous.

I figured that I could handle things but it wasn’t easy. The girl turned out to be anything BUT nice! Evidently, she thought that I had a secret crush on her. She was all over me and it was embarrassing.

The fact that after she applied her lipstick it would get on the tip of her nose when she smiled was very off-setting. I was young and had never heard of the term “date rape,” little did I know that I was almost a victim!

About the only good thing that I can say about that entire experience is this; I really looked fine in those photos her Mom took. Nothing makes a young man in a tux look better than standing next to a clown with lipstick on the tip of her nose. Frankly, her Dad got a real bargain, he owes me!

Dear Editor:

In last week’s Opinion, Lloyd Harris presents some suggestions on how Crescent City could cut down expenses. Then he goes on to one of our favorite topics around here: our incredibly expensive water and how that came about. Looking closely at the $82.81 bill, it is not that the water is expensive per unit; it is that the minimum charge is set at that high rate. That has the additional effect of discouraging water conservation; if I’m go-ing to pay $82.81 regardless, why not let the faucet run? That rate doesn’t hurt everyone equally, if you have a huge lawn and use lots of water, you are getting by cheaply.

Letters to the EditorBalancing a Shrinking Budget

Dear Editor:

Our local high school needs your support and whether you were of the athletic or academic mindset during your time there, it does not matter. Our school is fielding an outstanding football TEAM and they need, de-serve and should have the support of our alumni.

Coach Al Smith came on board a little over a year ago and he has brought a group of individual players together and transformed them from separate people looking out for themselves to an honest and thriving TEAM. This past Friday night, our Class 1A team took on Pine Ridge, a Class 6A team and outplayed, outscored and outclassed them. Our gentlemen gained 328 yards on the ground; Pine Ridge had a negative five yards. These young men are both impressive and inspiring.

Ten of the gentlemen who played as seniors last year are now enrolled in college; two are in Division I schools and will be playing on Saturdays beginning next week. These young men are excelling both on the field and in the classrooms and we, as former students and graduates of our local high school need to step up, step out and show up on Friday nights to support this new generation of future leaders.

The season opener is being played in Winter Park this coming Friday, but on September 6, our team will host Matanzas at 7 p.m. in Wiltcher Stadium. Parking is free and admission is only $5; let’s show our team that they have support from the “older” generation!

An Open Letter to All Local High School Alumni

Dear Editor:

I am happy to see the Crescent City Police Department, under the ca-pable guidance of Chief Johnson, addressing the “occupation” of Lake Stella’s Park

The dozen or so, unemployed, twenty something year olds who park themselves at the picnic tables, from noon until sunset, at which time they are told to leave, clearly make this lovely park an undesirable destination for true park lovers.

Thank you C.C.P.D. for your good, courageous and responsible work. In response to Lloyd’s suggestion that the Sheriff take over crime fighting in Crescent City, the notion has been raised before and the general vibe was, correct me if I’m wrong, “We wouldn’t touch Crescent City with a ten foot pole.”

Marshalls Visit Children

From family reunions to new grandbabies, Joe and Deb Marshall from Satsuma took a two-week trip north to visit family. First they went to Greenville, Ohio, to visit Joe’s fam-ily. He has two chil-dren, eight grandkids and four great grand-kids. A family reunion took place with relative from all over the area coming to see them. They ate out a lot and did a lot of visiting. They then went to Gos-hen, Ohio to visit Deb’s relatives. Two children, six grandchildren, many friends and rela-tives were visited. The Marshall’s met on the internet and very hap-py having been mar-ried for ten years now. They love this area and are having fun at the Pomona Park Se-nior Friday. They enjoy playing the card game, “Hand and Foot,” hav-ing lunch there and the music put on by the “Rhodes Show.” They also thought the Ice Cream Social was great.

Happy Birthday Grandmom

A surprise call came from our oldest grand-son, Cason, who has just moved to Atlanta, Georgia, from Min-nesota, wishing me a Happy Birthday. He grew up in Blairsville, Georgia, so a winter in Minnesota is one he

will not soon forget. We are all happy to have him back in the South. Thanks Cason, I appreciated your call. (Cason graduated from Clemson University and is now working with Federated Insur-ance and loves it.)Granddaughter Visits

Shae Dufresne’s dad, Morgan, is working on bringing Express Fam-ily Care’s, Dr. Milanick and PA Kristine Rynn’s, (Shae’s grandmother) medical offi ces up to date.

Rynn and husband Kevin are looking for just the right home in this area. They both love it here and are having fun getting settled. (They love shrimp and are looking forward to our Low Country Boil in September.) The num-ber for Express Family Care is 386-698-1221 (the same number that Dr. Suggs’ had.) They are getting quite a few of Dr. Collette’s former patients. We hear good reports about their ser-vice.Happy Birthday Hoyt

Our TOwnYears Ago. . .

75 years ago

August 31, 1988 – City Gives Trash Job To Tomoka – An Ormond Beach firm was awarded Crescent City’s exclusive residential trash col-lection franchise at a special city commission meeting Thursday night. Tomoka Refuse’s bid of $4.74 per household per month was the low bid among three companies competing for the business. The company was asked for and given a five-year contract with rate changes subject to city commission approval.

25 years ago

September 2, 1963 – Prepare For A Business Course At The Local Schools – For some years the Crescent City School has advocated business training courses to be held in the local high school and this year the county board has provided for those courses to be giving in three high schools of the county. The course offered will be bookkeeping and shorthand, typewriting and other business training.

Palatka- On Tues-day, August 2, 2013, Putnam County Sheriff’s Office Dep-uties responded to a report of burglary at a residence in Interlachen Lakes Estates.

Deputies and De-tectives learned through investiga-tion that the house was burglarized pre-viously.

During the prior burglary, the sus-pects took photo-graphs of items from the home and posted them on a Facebook page, advertising they were for sale.

A witness, respond-

ing to the adver-tisement, inquired about purchasing a refrigerator. The sus-pects agreed to meet the witness at the home to facilitate the purchase. When the suspects arrived, a concerned neighbor called the Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies arrived and formed a pe-rimeter around the home, securing it. One suspect, Jordan C. Green fled on foot out the back door and was quickly ap-prehended. The oth-er suspects, Carlos Rivera and Leandre Green were taken

into custody with-out incident. The suspects were inter-viewed by detectives and subsequently arrested.

Carlos Rivera, 27 YOA and Leandre Green, 25 YOA, were arrested on charges of burglary and grand theft. Jordan Green, 25 YOA, was arrested on charges of burglary, grand theft and resisting and officer without violence.

Booking photo-graphs were not available at the time of this release.

This event will be lim-ited to ages 16 and up. Refreshments and so-das will be available as well as beer and wine for those 21 and over. The show will be a treat for music lovers of all genres.

Tickets for this spe-cial event can be ob-tained directly from the Arts Council located in the Larimer Arts Cen-ter, at 216 Reid Street in Palatka, Monday -

Prestage grew up in south Florida listen-ing to blues. He was turned on to a par-ticular finger picking style by a family friend that played old-time banjo music. Later, as a street performer on world famous Beale Street in Memphis, Prestage added foot drums to his guitar and vocals to attract more attention, and found that it strength-ened his music a great

deal. It would get folks dancing in the street. From here, Prestage has added the use of other instruments, in-cluding the harmon-ica, resonator guitar, and others. Moving on from street performer, Prestage has one many awards for both his originality and talent, taking him on the road around the country and to Europe.

The Arts Council’s Larimer concerts are supported in part by memberships, the

Putnam County Tour-ist Development Coun-cil, the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Af-fairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture. Accommoda-tions for the performer have been provided by the Quality Inn of Palatka.

The King’s Bass Report

Special to theCourier Journal

On Monday, August 12, Lake Lodge #72 had another Entered Apprentice Degree for David Corwin, Waylon Mast and Daniel Fisk. The Entered Appren-tice is the first of the three degrees in Free-masonry.

These new Broth-ers will be required to memorize a Catechism during the next month

and then recite in an open Lodge before all those in attendance. Their proficiency in the recitation will deter-mine their ability to go on to the Fellowcraft Degree, where yet an-other Catechism must also be learned.

Although there are only three Degrees in Freemasonry; Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft and Master Mason, other degrees may be learned in either the

York Rite or Scottish Rite Degrees. The York Rite is the applica-tion and rituals of the Knights Templars who fought during the Cru-sades to maintain the ownership of Jerusa-lem. The Scottish Rite is the application and rituals that came from Scotland and France that dealt with the freedom and liberty of all men. Those in the Scottish Rite are best known as the Shri-

ners, who have done so much for burned and crippled children in America with their free hospitals.

Either way, one must be a Master Mason first before choosing the other or both paths of education.

Lake Lodge has start-ed four new Brothers on their path this year with three or four more applications that are yet to be investigated and their degrees be-

gun before this year ends. This has been the largest number of new members to Lake Lodge #72 in some time, but they would warmly welcome more.

Lake Lodge #72, lo-cated at 112 Shrine Club Road in the Lake Como area, has regular meetings the first and third Monday’s of each month, with dinner be-ing served at 6:30 p.m. and their Called Com-munication at 7:30

p.m. Master of the Lodge, Henry Smith in-vites all who may be interested in Freema-sonry to come by and visit. “Our wives are always at attendance for the dinner,” says Smith. Lake Lodge #72 is planning a “Dinner and a Dance” to begin in September on Satur-day evenings, that will be open to everyone in the community. Watch for the announcement to come.

¿Qué es la Violencia Doméstica? - ¿Sabía usted que 1 de cada 4 mujeres han sufrido violencia do-méstica en su vida? Sólo este dato es muy alarmante, ya que podría haber afectado a su abuela, su madre, su tía, la hermana o incluso usted! Por desgracia, la violencia doméstica no discrimina basado en su sexo, edad, o incluso su orientación sexual. La violencia do-

méstica no es solamente un acto físico, sino que la vi-olencia doméstica es un patrón de control de conduc-tas tales como la violencia o las amenazas de violencia que una persona usa para establecer el poder y control sobre otra. Esto se hace con la intención de ganar y mantener el poder y control sobre los pensamientos de la víctima, las acciones y / o actividades.

PFFC UpdatesSome air condition-

ing is now working, so come give it a try. In other news, there is now a new fl oor in the back room where Zumba, Aero-bics and Tae Kwan Do are held. It is much more pleasant for all. Many thanks go to Johnson Con-trols for donating the fl oor. Add that to the air conditioning and they are really “get-ting it together.” A reminder for every-one is that due to the very high outside temperatures and concern for mem-ber’s health and well being, the center will continue to close from 12 to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, during the month of August. Saturday hours are 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. As of now they are plan-

ning on resuming normal hours begin-ning in September. Margaret Cleveland is still collecting rec-ipes for the Center Cookbook that will

be published in time for Christmas en-joyment and gifting. She says she needs many more recipes from all of our good cooks around.

Eight Smart Tips to Help Parents and Students Start the School Year Strong

Starting a new school year can be a daunting experience for many students, and failing to get off on the right foot can set the tone for the rest of the academic year. Parents need to take the right steps starting now to make sure their students are prepared to tackle new academic challenges with the right habits and daily routines. This includes trying not to be so consumed with showing up in the latest fashions; it’s not that important. That’s why Sylvan Learning has put together four simple tips for parents and four simple tips for children that can help boost student suc-cess in the new school year.

Here are four things parents can do to help their children achieve better academic re-sults:

Impose the Two-Week Rule - With later bedtimes over the summer, children

•

need to ease back into their school routine rather than having a sudden change their first day of school. Using the last two weeks of summer to re-introduce a school year bedtime routine will make waking up on that first day a lot easier.Reintroduce Reg-ular Meal Times - During summer months, kids tend to grab a snack several times during the day. Parents can start re-minding students to get back into a three-meal-a-day schedule in order to regulate their system into the back-to-school mode. Nutrition is an im-portant factor in aca-demic performance, and eating a healthy, balanced breakfast and lunch keeps kids alert throughout the day.Family Calendar - Time management is tricky for everyone, especially kids and teens, but planning is an important way to save everyone’s

•

•

sanity. Having major deadlines, due dates, events and extracur-ricular activities in one place helps kids visualize their week, manage their time and stay on track.Don’t Ditch Good Habits - If you and your child have es-tablished a good summer learning routine, when school starts try not to for-sake all of the fun reading, writing and art activities that kept your child en-gaged all summer.Here are four impor-

tant things that stu-dents can follow to improve the academic quality of the school year, starting on Day One.

Organize - Organiza-tion is not overrated. Keeping notes, proj-ects and reading ma-terials in logical order helps students find what they need right away, cutting down on time spent track-ing things down, and allowing more time for actual studying.Take good notes -

•

•

•

Yes, it does matter. Taking good notes helps keep kids‚ grades up, espe-cially in middle or high school. To boost note-taking skills, students should practice picking out the, main ideas in conversations, news reports, or magazine articles.Concentrate - Stay-ing focused is easier for some kids than others. Students need to do their best to avoid distractions in class. This means keeping cell phones tucked away and be-ing vocal if a chatty classmate is too dis-tracting.Speak up- Students often can get tripped up by homework or test instructions. Students should know it‚s OK to speak up if they don’t un-derstand testing or homework directions. Students should also listen carefully and spend plenty of time reading directions.
