I had restored some order
to the chaos and my hand
only ached a little but then
I wondered what to do with
the three cake layers.

I have another recipe for —
caramel frosting but a friend
recommended IJ try the cake
before I spent more money
on frosting.

I’m glad I listened.

The four cups of flour
made the cake equivalent to
Sheetrock®. It was. abso-
lutely horrible and you know
what, the frosting I licked
from my burnt fingers wasn’t

“all that good either!

Four hours later, I had no

CHIEF, ROBERT DOUGLAS says law enforcement officers have one purpose.
“Our mission is to clean our streets up and to make you, when you lay down
your head at night, to feel safe,” he said. Five law enforcement officers were
awarded officer of the year designations Thursday evening for doing just that.
Each year awards are given to officers who have provided “outstanding service
beyond the call of duty.” One officer from each local law enforcement agency
was selected: Jay Bolton from the Chiefland Police Department, Virgil Sandlin
from Florida Highway Patrol, Jonathan Reed from Lancaster Correctional
' Facility, Neil Polimeni from Levy County Correctional Facility, and Bob Cannon
from the sheriff's department. The awards ceremony was presented by the
Chiefland Women’s Club and held at Tommy Usher Center.

Yankeetown open for business:

BY CASSIE JOURNIGAN

Yankeetown is running
minus .a mayor and two
council members.

When asked if | Levy
County commissioners had
stepped in, Fred Moody
said, “As. yet we haven’t
been approached. We’ve had
no official contact with the
governor’s office.” Moody
was referring to an earlier
stage of the controversy,
when the governor declared
a state of emergency after
resignations of three council
members left the'town unable
to assemble a quorum.

Three! town employees
had also resigned during the
earlier ruckus—the town

clerk, assistant. to the town

version. He has the heart of a teller of tall tales
and adds all sort of fanciful facts to any story

he’s telling.
My Cracker husband takes

great joy in the fact that lovebugs

diminishes just a tad when I point
out they are, however, from the
South. Perversely, I hold out the
information of just how far south—they
actually slowly worked their way northward
from Central America. Their main range so far
are the states bordering the Gulf of Mexico,
although they have nately been found in South

Carolina.

My former boss, Bill Zegel, a chemical .
engineer by day and poet-philosopher by night,
says that the arrival of spring rains ends the
pests’ May — June activity, and the end of the
rainy season in September brings them back
again. While he’s not an entomologist, his
formula does seem to work. I’ve noticed that
during dry years, the lovebug season never
seems to end. And during years of excessive
tropical rains, the pest hardly appears at all.

It should be of at least some comfort to know
that out of the 200 or so varieties scientists

The governor had called for

In that Aug. 29 election Dawn

victorious as a block aimed at

They joined mayor Joanne
Johannesson and_ council

topic was “the zoning official

vacancy. '

Council member - L
Feldhuson said the town
was running: smoothly since
the mayor’s _ resignation.
“Everything seems calm. The
town is still open for business.
We’re in the catch-up mode,
taking care of housekeeping
left undone when the mayor
left.” He added the remaining
council and community
have pulled together to meet
deadlines. “The town has
