Hudson also does not want any roadwork done that would disturb graves. Henderson’s attorney, Terry Tataru of Cedar Key, could not be reached. The Adamsville AME Church would like to move the old church back from the road to accommodate widening. This way, the widening would not cut into the cemetery. Then the church would be restored for its historical value. At this - point, church representatives do not know how old it is. Bruce Greenlee, the county’s administrative superintendent for roads, said the county has not taken a position on widening the road, which now is a one-lane dirt road that is not owned by the county. The county wants the property issue resolved before it proceeds with any right of way and roadwork. “Right now the county’s stance is until they get the ownership straight, we don’t have a position,” he said. s: H : f » Seniors vs Crime & y A Spebial Hrojeor of the Florida Attorney General A / Journal photo by Kellie Parkin.

The interlocal agreement states that the City of Chiefland will collect the County-wide Educational System Impact Fee within the boundaries of the city before building permits are issued. Chiefland City Commissioners accepted the agreement provided that an indemnity clause is added. Currently the agreement states that “The School Board agrees to hold the City harmless from all liability which may result from the performance of its obligations...” Chiefland City Attorney Norm D. Fugate recommended that additional language is needed in order to release the city entirely from legal liability concerning the impact fee. Fugate said it’s important to make sure that Chiefland holds no other responsibility aside from collection, nor any other “possibility of responsibility” involving the impact fee. — The commissioners approved a motion for the added . indemnity clause and agreed to enter the interlocal agreement once the language is modified. The School Board of Levy County and the Levy County Commission passed the Educational System Impact Fee Ordinance earlier this month. It will take effect May 1, 2008 for all new residential construction. According to the ordinance and interlocal agreement, there will be $816.60 charged for new single-family detached houses in Levy County before a building permit can be issued to begin construction anywhere in the county. When local municipalities collect the impact fee, the © ordinance allows for two percent retention of the collection to help cover costs. The Chiefland commissioners agreed that actual costs will probably be higher in most cases. and the city will most likely lose money on the interlocal agreement. “That’s why we call it a service,” said Williston Robber Quickly Arrested On Jan. 24 at 9 p.m. the Lil’ Food Ranch located at | 16790 NE SR 121 in Williston was robbed.by a white female. A white female walked in the Lil’ Food Ranch store wearing a black hooded sweat jacket. She walked to the “beer cooler and got'a 12-pack of Busch beer. ‘The suspect} |)...» with the hood over her head reached in her jacket pocket “and demanded money from the register. The suspect did not display a weapon but stated to the clerk, “Give me your money and do not be stupid” and walked out of the store with an undetermined amount of money and the 12-pack of beer. Investigator Mike Narayan was able to identify the suspect as an ex-employee with Lil’ Food Ranch store, Sharon Johnson Karam. The suspect was positively identified as the person that committed the robbery and was located shortly before midnight by the Sheriff’s Office. She admitted to committing the robbery and said that Raymond Lewis Frazier was driving the getaway car when she committed the crime. At this time, investigators are unable to substantiate if Raymond Frazier had knowledge about this crime and he was not charged in the robbery. Investigator Narayan located Frazier in the Williston area and he was arrested on an active Levy warrant for failure to appear for driving while license suspended. Frazier was « additional charged by the Levy County Drug Task Force for _ two counts of possession of cocaine over 20 grams and two counts of sale of cocaine within 1000 feet of Williston Middle School. by Terrie 352.528.5067 renovated the building. commissioner Rollin Hudson. In other business, John C. Hipp Construction was awarded a bid for three separate road resurfacing projects. The original bid for two roads, SE 4th Street and SW 8th Ct/SW 3rd Street, came in low enough that the city decided to piggyback off the first bid award and extend a secondary paving contract for SW 4th Street to John C. Hipp Construction for a total of $66,222.10 for all three streets.. Near the end of the meeting, Mayor Teal Pomeroy expressed a critical need to address the situation involving \ a home within the city limits. Last week, two adults and four children were removed from the dwelling due to large amounts of garbage, animal waste, human waste, insects, and rodents found in the home. The adults were arrested. on child abuse charges, and the children were placed in protective custody. According to Chiefland police, this family was part of a similar situation several years ago. “We have to do something,” said Mayor Pomeroy. “That house has to be cleaned up.” According to city officials, the inside of the house can be smelled from at least 25 feet away, and is a public nuisance as well as potentially dangerous. The commissioners discussed many avenues of action, most resulting in unreasonable waiting periods. Without a court order, no one can legally enter the home to dispose of the mess. They decided the most immediate approach would be to contact the public defender of the home owner. The commission hopes to reach an agreement with the home owner so that cleanup can begin-at once. Miss Honey Says... Hi Ya’ ll! Here I sit with a chair full of love. Sweet Pea is on the headrest, Baby Doll is on my shoulder, Little Bit is asleep in my lap and Sugar is under the coffee table; now you tell me that isn’t love, and make me believe it! “Never,” and I love them too. I went with a couple of friends to Newberry Saturday morning and visited the thrift stores. Now I have some more dolls to sew clothes for and dress. I guess I never outgrew my dolls, because I still love to dress them up to look pretty. Hush Donald, you love your old hound dogs too. Good nights yo dlawsrbilliv Sunday morning. Good morning! Here I am again, just 4 like a bad penny, always turning up when least expected! I really have a lot to do, but no one to tell me I have to do it. Now if these little dogs could talk they probably would say, stay home with us. Uh huh, they do love me, even when no one else does, and that is love without exceptions. Yes, puppy love, but is there any better love? I don’t think so. Good night. fle Hi again, it is Monday morning and here I am again.
