 Dawgs ae Episcopal Eagles toig

 Battered by 5A Columbia
County in last week's season
opener, the Bulldogs look to
bounce back at home Friday
against the Episcopal Eagles
of Jacksonville.
 The Bulldogs plan to come
out swinging against the Ea-
gles. "We're going to come
right at them with some
power," said Suwannee head
coach Bobby Bennett. "The
running backs need to have a
good game.. .
"We're also going to throw
downfield," he added, noting
at the Eagles use man cover-
age on defense. "If they give
us something deep, we'll
take that. If they cover us
deep, weTllgopunderrieath.",
 Junior Travis Westberry
will get his second start at
quarterback, filling in for the
injured Tajhuane Roundtree.
 On defense the plan is sim-.
ple: execute.. "It's a matter of
wrapping up and tackling,"
Bennett said. Missed tackles
plagued the Bulldogs in last
week's 34-0 loss to Lake
City:
 Bennett described the 2B
Eagles as "a pretty good
team."


 Episcopal played Bolles to
 a 7-7 tie in a jamboree last
 spring and played well
 against Jacksonville's Lee in
 a 21-14 loss in this year's
pre-season Kick-off Classic.
 The Eagles run a Wing-T
 offense. "We're going to try
.to run first," said Episcopal
head coach David Hess, "and
when they shut that down,
we'll go to the pass."
 He said discipline is the
key for ilie E.igle. on de-
fense. "Each player has to
execute," he said. "We'll try
to shut down what they do
best."
 Episcopal is 1-0 on the
season. In last week's season
opener, the Eagles beat Ar-
lington Country Day 43-12.
 The Bulldogs (0-1) hung
tough for two quarters last
week against Columbia
County's overpowering
ground attack. But a 20-point
Tiger third quarter ended
Suwannee's hopes of re-
claiming the Old Oaken.
Bucket. The Dogs held the
Tigers to 14 points in the
first half, but gave up three
TDs within, eight minutes of
the third. 
 Kick-off is at 7:30 p.m.
Friday at Paul Langford Sta-
dium in Live Oak.

"If we build it, they will come"


a seabird

 After four hurricanes left a tiny
island off the coast of Key West
submerged in the Atlantic in 2005,
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conser-
vation Commission (FWC) biolo-
gists studying the roseate tern
knew there would be trouble for
the threatened seabird. So, the sci-
entists hatched a plan.
 Pelican Shoal, once covered in
coral rubble and sand, had been
the perfect habitat for the hundreds
of roseate terns that migrated there
each summer. The quarter-acre is-
land was one of only two places in
Florida where the birds could lay
their eggs. FWC biologists
watched closely each summer as .
the birds returned to Pelican Shoal
from South America, laid their
eggs and raised their chicks for
about a month before flying south

SOLAR-POWERED STEREO LURES TERNS: When hurricanes destroyed one of Florida's
two nesting sites for roseate terns, FWC biologists and the National Park Service found a
way to lure them to a spot in the Dry Tortugas to nest. The solar-powered stereo in the
background sounded roseate tern calls, and plastic decoys attracted the birds.

Keaton Beach Fishing


Report for Sept. 11
 Trout fishing was good this past week for several who
went out between thunderstorms. The rains had no real
pattern; as from day to day, it might storm at 9 a.m., or 3
p.m. or right after daylight; like it did for Cal Beanblos-
som and Stewart Jones of Sylvester, Ga. They came
down last week only to have to wait 'til 11 a.m. to get
out and catch a limit of trout on Bite-A-Bait plugs, As-
sassin electric chicken sea shads and live pinfish under
2.5 inch oval Cajuns. Cal said they concentrated on water
6 -7 feet deep and had to keep moving to run from the
rair .
 Bob and Debbie Edwards came down from Live Oak to
catch their limit of trout and one redfish while fishing
with Cajun Thunders and live pinfish. Bob said they'
fished from 3.5 ft. on the high tide, to over 10 feet deep,
,during the low.
 Josh Revels and Josh Boyd of Tifton, Ga. had their
limit of speckled trout on Saturday and Sunday up.to,22
inches long, while fishing with Berkley Gulp Shrimp in
the 4 inch size* in New Penny. This Josh duo was jigging
off the bottom in 8 10 feet of water Sunday.
 .Sunday, also some more folks from Tifton, David
Bosch, Peng ad Calvin Chee and Don Stockwell of Val-
dosta, Ga. managed nine nice trout, up to 23 inches long
