Bradley, Payne present $1.5 million toward fairgrounds projectBY CLIFF SMELLEYTelegraph Staff Writer

As Bradford County Fair Manager Dale Woodruff accepted a ceremonial $1.5 million check from Sen. Rob Bradley and Rep. Bobby Payne in Building 1 at the fairgrounds on June 26, he and everyone in attendance had an eye toward the future, when Building 1, Building 2 and the current barn and livestock arena are no more.

The $1.5 million is part of a grant that will help fund the construction of new barns, a new livestock arena and a new building to replace both buildings 1 and 2.

“These buildings exceed 60 years old, so it is time for a replacement,” Woodruff said.

What really excites him and others is the fact the new planned main building will also serve as a level-one evacuation shelter.

“It will be complete with all of the ADA requirements,” Woodruff said, adding that the new barn facilities will serve as a shelter for pets.

The planned 24,000 square-

foot main building will consist of fair offices, the Bradford County Food Pantry, Communities in Schools a kitchen and shower facilities, whereas the planned livestock facilities will consist of three separate barns for cattle, swine and goats as well as an arena with air-conditioning and heat.

A total of $6 million is being sought to fund the project.

Woodruff said hopes are that the fair association can receive the additional $4.5 million next year. If so, construction would begin next summer.

“I have found out from the Department of Agriculture we will be able to bank the $1.5 million from this year for next year,” Woodruff said. “The plan is to do it all at one time at that point.”

Bradley said when he initially ran for office in 2012, he visited the fairgrounds and took note of how old the facilities were. He said the time had come to invest in new facilities that can provide shelter during hurricanes and other major weather events, provide a new home for the Food Pantry and to create “the best fair around.”

“I think this is going to meet all of those concerns of our

community over time,” Bradley said.

Bradley said it was a tough year to obtain funding, with so many dollars going toward Hurricane Irma recovery and school safety in the aftermath of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. He gave kudos to Payne for helping the fair association obtain the money it did, saying he helped “look through all that haze and

overcome those challenges.”“It was not an easy budget

year,” Bradley said, “but I think it speaks to how important everybody is to Rep. Payne.”

Likewise, Payne gave credit to Bradley, saying, “Without him championing this cause, this would not have happened this year.”

New River escapee capturedBY DAN HILDEBRAN

Managing EditorBradford County deputies, Department of

Corrections officers and other law enforcement agencies captured an escaped inmate Tuesday, after the man fled from a work crew the previous day at New River Correctional Institute.

Brandon G. Fain, 30, was incarcerated at New River in June. He was scheduled to be released in July 2022.

Bradford County Sheriff Gordon Smith said officers caught the man as he came near a road

to “take a peak” and see what was happening. “He gave himself up willingly,” Smith said on

a Facebook video post.Smith added that K-9 units had been in pursuit

of the escapee for hours. He added that Fain appeared to have suffered multiple insect bites during his night in the woods.

In July 2017, Fain was convicted of possession of methamphetamine, grand theft, and possession of a firearm by a felon. He was sentenced to three years on the weapons charge and to two year on the other charges.

Citizens still seeking answers, equal opportunity

BY MARK J. CRAWFORDTelegraph Editor

Concerned Citizens of Bradford County is continuing to press the school district for answers and action when it comes to diversifying its workforce and increasing black student enrollment in advanced academic programs.

The problems of diversity and desegregation in public education are more than a century old and remain an issue for Bradford County, according

to Starr Pittman. She pointed to the Florida Advisory Committee on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights report “Recertification of Public School Districts in Florida,” a report from the mid-2000s that gauges the progress of Florida school districts toward desegregation.

While the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision overturned racial

More dress code changes proposed by school board BY MARK J. CRAWFORD

Telegraph EditorAn approaching school year

brings yet another revision of the school district’s dress code.

The code for secondary students seems to be revisited annually, and this year school board members once again found themselves defending sheer garments as an acceptable style.

There is a proposed change, however, as a sheer top may no longer be layered on top of a camisole, tank top, halter top or top with spaghetti straps — all of which are

garments prohibited by the code. Language added last year allowed them to be worn with a sheer garment over them, but school administration interpreted the rule differently. According to Superintendent Stacey Creighton, a long-sleeve white button-up was even found too revealing as it showed the outline of a banned top underneath. Removing sheer garments from the code was a way to eliminate overzealous enforcement, she said.

School board members including Charnelle Whittemore and Sheila

Cummings fought to maintain the style, however, so long as a sheer top is worn over an otherwise acceptable top. That includes sleeveless shirts, which are being redefined. Instead of “three finger width,” the language has been rewritten to require that straps on sleeveless shirts be at least two inches wide.

Cummings is also fighting for middle school students to be able to wear warm-up suits on game days instead of the required school uniform of a polo shirt and dress pants or skirt. Teams and families raised money to purchase those

outfits and were then told they could not wear them to school. Cummings said participating on a team is a privilege as she argued in favor of allowing a deviation from the uniform requirement. She and others said it also encourages team spirit.

Creighton said shirts and jackets normally would be allowed as there are exceptions recognizing academic and athletic achievement and school spirit. The objectionable garment was the warm-up pants. Some school board members agreed with that objection, although Cummings

supported the right to wear those as well. That discussion is expected to continue at the next workshop at 5:30 p.m. on July 9. Public input will also be allowed on code of conduct changes during a hearing to follow the workshop. The new code will not be adopted until the board is satisfied with the changes and the public has had a chance to comment.

Additional changes have been proposed to the dress code. The district is relaxing rules on hats and headwear, allowing them to be worn during physical education and other outside activities.

That does not include time between classes. The statement prohibiting holes in pants has been changed to say, “No skin may be exposed four inches above the knee.” The same language was added to the section on skirts and dresses, which previously required they be knee length or longer.

School board members also rehashed the cell phone policy at the high school after it was once again recommended to prohibit cell phone use between classes. Assistant

Hinson running for Congress

The following is an announcement of intention to seek public office submitted by the candidate. The deadline for submission has expired.

Former Gainesville City Commissioner Yvonne Hayes Hinson announces her candidacy for Congressional District 3 as a member of the United States House of Representatives.

As a fifth generation Floridian and Alachua county native, she has lived a life of service as an educator, as a business woman and a public official. A progressive lifelong educator and

Christian, her values are solid — making families a priority by

fighting to ensure well-paying jobs, job training, a livable wage, and access to quality affordable childcare. She includes a strong health care initiative in her plans, including Medicare for all. Making a strong investment in public schools and teachers, environmental stewardship, and maintaining a focus on the “least of us,” it’s well known that she will not be a rubber stamp to party or special interest over people.

When asked why she’s running, she says it’s because the district needs a representative of the people and not just corporations; one that’s committed to forming a better union of its people and not division, one that believes our children and teachers

deserve a world class education that’s globally competitive with a nationally recognized preeminent institution of higher learning. A representative who actually believes science is fact not fiction.

This district will have a representative who will fight to make sure our water and air is cleaner than before. One who will give veterans the support that they need and so valiantly have earned. She also says that as a lifelong educator, “I know the power of collaboration will help build a better model of the Federal Department of Education. One that will inspire and empower the state and local educational institutions to better serve our children and teachers.”

Yvonne’s “We the People” Campaign will take her into all sectors of her district to hear the needs of unique communities. It is the goal of her campaign to meet voters from every “nook and cranny” of District 3 and to listen to them so that she will know what it is she needs to bring back to the residents. Establishing equal justice, promoting the general welfare and securing the blessings of liberty for our people is her priority. When victorious, she will not forget who she represents. Check her out at www.yvonneforcongress.com.

Smith running for Starke Commission

The following is an announcement of intention to seek public office submitted by the candidate. Starke City Commission candidates have until June 29 to submit their announcements to [email protected].

Good government only happens when people working in it do their jobs and do them well. My name is Shannon Smith and it is with this principle in mind I announce my candidacy to become your next city of Starke District 3 city commissioner.

Now, more than ever, our city

government is at crossroads with many important issues and decisions on the horizon such as

the implications from the U.S. Hwy 301 bypass, infrastructure concerns, and the necessary vision to be the best stewards of taxpayer dollars possible. As a lifelong resident of Bradford County and a businessman in this community with real world private-sector experience, I will bring fresh common-sense ideas to these issues along with the other everyday matters your city commissioners are charged with undertaking.

After graduating from Bradford High School in 1992, I stepped into my family business. In 2002, I married the former Kim Hayes who has dedicated her career to improving the lives of children as teacher since 2002. We have two children, Kennedy (13) and Foster (12), who are

involved heavily in academics and extra-curricular activities at school and in the community. As a member of First Baptist Church of Starke I have served on the personnel and audit committees and over the past six years, I have coached my son’s little league team, and I have served on the board of the Bradford Parents Athletic Association. Such church and community involvement provides me with a unique perspective to address community and recreational related issues our city faces. I feel this perspective will be a benefit to the residents of District 3 and the citizens of the city of Starke as a whole.

As a third-generation family business operator, I understand the importance of operating

within your means and being accountable to the public for the use of their tax dollars. Fiscally conservative choices are imperative in addressing the use and safeguarding of city funds which come from you, the residents of Starke. I am prepared to make these difficult and necessary choices on Day 1 through the use of common-sense ideas I have gained throughout my lifetime in addition to a fresh perspective I will bring our city government.

Over the upcoming days and weeks, I look forward to meeting with you as I travel throughout the district. I am eager to hear your concerns as I work to earn your support to be your next Starke District 3 city commissioner and your vote on Sept. 4, 2018!

County races set for commission, school boardWrite-in complicates Riddick’s race

BY MARK J. CRAWFORDTelegraph Editor

Qualifying for this year’s election ended at the county level on June 22, setting up races for both the August and November ballots.

Someone who could wind up on both ballots is County Commissioner Danny Riddick who is running for re-election in District 4. He has been challenged for the seat by Republican Tom Germano. According to Supervisor of Elections Terry Vaughan, Germano’s treasurer, Stasia Rudolph, resigned from the post and entered the race as a write-in candidate last week, forcing Riddick and Germano

into a closed primary battle in August.

Riddick previously ran as a Democrat but like many local officials has joined the Republican Party as the balance of voters in the county tipped to the GOP. That decision may have worked against him as previous Democrat and other supporters will be locked out of participation in the closed primary in August. Only Republicans will be able to choose who gets the party’s nomination, and that person could go on to be county commissioner without input from Democrats or other voters.

Had Rudolph not qualified to run, the race would have been on the August ballot as a universal primary, open to all registered voters in District 4.

Books close to party changes on July 30, so supporters of

either Riddick or Germano have until then to list themselves as Republicans and become eligible to vote in the primary.

“When this happens, there’s often a scramble for people to change parties to participate,” Vaughan said, “and so anybody that would want to do that has until July 30.”

The winner of the primary will advance to the November ballot depending on whether or not Rudolph remains in the race, Vaughan said. If Germano wins the primary, Rudolph could drop out, making Germano the newest county commissioner. If Riddick wins the primary, Rudolph could remain in the race and give opponents another chance to unseat the incumbent. Rudolph’s name would not appear on the ballot, but there would be a blank space where voters could write

in a name.Riddick has vocal constituents

involved in fighting the proposed phosphate mine and the development of an RV park on land they consider to be environmentally sensitive near Keystone Heights. Germano is in opposition to both while Riddick supported the RV park and — under legal advisement — will not comment on the mining application on which he may be required to rule.

County Commissioner Kenny Thompson is running once again as a Republican hoping to win a second term on the board. He is facing two nonpartisan challengers, and Vaughan said this automatically places the race on November’s ballot. Every voter in District 2 will make their selection. Running against

Thompson are Jamie Clemons and John Crawford.

District 2 will also be selecting a school board member to replace Charnelle Whittemore, who is stepping down when her abbreviated term is complete (she ran to complete Stacey Creighton’s term when she ran for superintendent). The race is between Gayle Shuford Nicula and Jeremy Pilcher, and as a nonpartisan race, all voters in the district can choose. With just two candidates, the race will be decided in August.

School Board Members Sheila Fayson Cummings and Erica Mains Reddish were unopposed at the end of qualifying week and will hold their seats representing Districts 1 and 5 for another four

Germano supporter files to run against himBY DAN HILDEBRAN

Managing EditorTom Germano, who has filed

to run against District 4 County Commissioner Danny Riddick, now has a second opponent: the same woman who donated $1,000 to Germano’s campaign.

Stasia Rudolph filed to run in the race as a write-in candidate. Before she filed, with Germano and Riddick both running as Republicans, the primary was open, allowing any registered voter within District 4 to vote in the race.

However, Rudolph’s action closed the primary, locking out all non-Republican voters.

Riddick said he does not know Rudolph’s motives, but said the effect of her write-in candidacy

is to disenfranchise over 1,800 voters from the August Republican primary.

“If we represent everybody in District 4, why wouldn’t we want everybody to vote in the election?” he asked. “I’m not trying to run him down or run her down, I just don’t know. It just doesn’t make sense. By doing this move, you’ve taken out almost half the voters.”

Riddick is also puzzled as to why someone who supports a candidate as fervently as Rudolph supports Germano, would then decide to run against him.

Rudolph says she still supports Germano.

“I want Tom to win the primary,” she said, “but if for some reason that doesn’t happen,

I want to make sure we have options.”

She, like Germano is an opponent of a proposed phosphate mine in Union and Bradford counties and criticized Bradford commissioners for failing to enact a mining moratorium. She also said Riddick is partly to blame for commissioners overspending over the last five years, forcing the county to dip into its reserves.

When asked if her candidacy is a ploy to lock out Democratic and independent voters and help Germano, she replied that her candidacy actually hurts Germano.

segregation in public schools, there were many more years of fighting and litigation before real progress was made in desegregating schools across the country. The advisory committee’s report showed that 16 of the state’s school districts were still under court jurisdiction after being sued to eliminate racial segregation. Bradford — sued along with several other districts in 1970 — was one of them, although it was said to be pursuing unitary, or desegregated, status.

Pittman said the Concerned Citizens group wants to know more about the district’s efforts, especially given that five black men whom they consider role models, including Bradford High School Principal Vinnie Blye, have recently lost their jobs.

African-Americans and other racial minorities are underrepresented in employment in the school district, according to the 2016-17 Annual Equity Update. Less than one percent of teachers in the district are black, and there are no black district administrators. There were three black principals before the superintendent’s decision not to renew Blye’s contract. While the

district claims it is “aggressively” pursuing diversity in staffing, the Concerned Citizens group is worried that 25 percent of the student population has no one to look up to who looks like them — and the message that inevitably sends.

Are the district’s claims to pursuing racial diversity disingenuous? Pittman said that’s a reasonable assumption given that hires were made prior to the submission of the Equity Update, and then those hires were laid off, terminated or lost their contract a year later.

“For this reason, we demand an explanation of why the superintendent made the

decision not to rehire so many black role models employed with the Bradford County School District during the 2017–2018 school year,” Pittman said. “Additionally, the citizens of Bradford County would like to hear the specific steps that have been taken to recruit and support African-American professionals working for the school district.”

In addition to employment, the district has referenced increasing the enrollment of students of color in honors and dual-enrollment and advanced placement courses. Concerned Citizens wants to know the specific plan for doing so.

“Diversity actually matters,”

Pittman said, “because research has shown that teachers of color are valued role models for all students, especially students of color. Teachers of color are often cultural brokers for students of color. They tend to bring into teaching an understanding of students’ cultural background and experiences. They also bring to teaching personal experience with an insight into racism in society.”

Because commenting at board meetings has accomplished nothing, Timothy Taylor said after taking the podium, he wanted the school board to schedule a workshop with the community on ensuring equal

opportunity. During that workshop, Taylor

said, they want to be helped to understand why certain people have been fired.

“We’re not going to keep showing up and getting cut off (after) three minutes, because this is a waste of time,” he said. “If we can’t get the workshop on request, I will have to get it on demand.”

The district has not commented specifically on the reason for any employment decisions.

EQUALContinued from 1A

Superintendent David Harris said the reason is that if the phones come out between classes then they remain out when students enter their next class. Cummings said that is a classroom management issue and teachers

have to enforce the policy and have students put their phones away when they enter the room.

Vinnie Blye, no longer the school’s principal, was present in the audience and shared his perspective, which included administrators not wanting to deescalate conflict caused when students are told to put their phones away. “What about those

guys over there?” they want to know. “They have their phones out, too.”

He backed Cummings’ argument that the high school campus was just too big to enforce such a policy. And while Harris argued they wanted students to be alert between classes so they can report something that seems wrong, Blye said their phones

were a way for them to report what they see.

There are clarifications and changes related to tardiness and attendance, too. For example, the definition of perfect attendance has been narrowed to mean just that: Perfect attendance means students are in school on time all the time. “Perfect is perfect,” Harris said.

Aside from these perennial issues are the changes incorporated —often required by the state —that deal with ensuring safety and security in an era where violence is far too common in schools. This includes a zero-tolerance policy for anyone making, posting or transmitting a threat related to mass shooting or any act of terrorism, which is a second-degree felony. In addition to assignment to an alternative education program, violent or disruptive students may be referred for mental health services. Students who have brought a weapon to school or made a threat or false report will be referred for mental health services in addition to the other consequences.

The board must also make some decisions on the kind of background checks it wants performed on school volunteers, including parents accompanying children on field trips and adults participating in other school-sanctioned activities. Rather than check all potential volunteers at the beginning of the year by performing a single check that does not reflect more recent violations, the board may opt to test volunteers immediately before scheduled activities. That would ensure up-to-date results and cut down on the number of checks the district must perform.

Board members must also define what crimes disqualify volunteers and for how long.

“We thought Tom would get a lot of Democratic votes because of his opposition to the phosphate mine,” she said, “so I am taking a chance with this.”

She added that if Riddick had not switched parties in 2016, all voters would be able to vote in the race.

Riddick said he originally intended to change his registration from Democrat to Republican before 2014, his first re-election campaign, but he got busy and failed to file the paperwork.

“The bottom line is for the past

three big elections I have voted Republican,” he said. “I don’t agree with what the Democratic party stands for.”

“My dad was a Democrat, and his dad was a Democrat,” he continued, “and 20 years ago, if you wanted to vote in Bradford County, you had to be a Democrat. Times have changed.”

Riddick added that Donald Trump’s candidacy finally pushed him to change his registration, so he could support the New York real estate developer in the Florida Republican primary.

HealthThe Melting Pot

Weathering the storm and keeping your food safe

BY SAMARA DEARYUF/IFAS Bradford Extension

Last year’s hurricane season was pretty crazy right? Every year we go through the same procures when it comes to hurricanes and tropical storms, waiting to see how severe it’s going to be to determine if necessary precautions should be taken. Making sure to keep essentials on hand such as batteries, water, snacks (the good and the bad ones) and, if you are lucky, a generator.

I think the 2017 hurricane season was an eye opener for me. I grew up in Virginia and during hurricane season we could expect to get hit either directly or indirectly. I lived on the Chesapeake Bay right at sea level so wind and flooding to some degree were expected; I was used to extreme weather. No matter what you have been through no storm can ever fully prepare you for the next unless you are totally prepared! Certain events may happen that are not even expected to happen.

Matthew and Irma definitely proved that point. This was the first year that I have ever witnessed people having to get food assistance at such large numbers or families living in homes that still need repair. I wanted to just bring to mind a few tips to consider when keeping your food safe and knowing when to throw away items.

—Stock up on plastic wrap, zip lock bags, aluminum foil, disposable pans and utensils. These items will come in handy if the power is out for an extended

amount of time. —Hand sanitizer and sanitizing

wipes are good to keep on hand if running water becomes an issue.

—Frozen food will keep safe in an unopened freezer for 48 hours when the power goes out. Stock up on nonperishable foods and water. Purchase items you enjoy eating but also items like instant cereal, dry milk and soup mixes. Pick out some foods that will cheer the situation such as cookies or fruit snacks. Remember with any food item: If you are unsure if it is safe throw it out!

—Store enough water for at least a three-day supply per person. Purchase gallon-size containers, or to save money, if you have some around the house, fill them with water and store.

—Don’t forget about your pets; they need just as much water and food as well.

—It’s a good idea to declutter your home inside and out. Debris flying in the air during a storm can cause damage. Decluttering your home inside can make a difference when the power is out just in how you feel and how the air flows in the home.

My hope is that this hurricane season is uneventful, but in the event a hurricane comes this way, preparation is the key.

Choosing healthy options when eating out can sometimes be tough. Below are some easy tips to follow next time you decide to go eat at your favorite restaurant:

—Drink water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages.

—Ask for salad dressing to

come on the side.—Look for entrees that have

the words steamed, broiled, baked, roasted, poached or stir-fried in them, as these cooking methods tend to use less added fats.

—Share your meal or take half of your meal home.

—Do not eat the skin on chicken.

—Trim visible fat from meat.

Students struggle with math and scienceBY MARK J. CRAWFORD

Telegraph EditorFurther results on the Florida

Standards Assessment and end-of-course exams tend to disappoint, with sometimes sharp declines measured, but there were also examples of progress.

MathThis year’s third-grade group

performed comparably to the state average on FSA math, nearly matching the state score. Sixty-three percent performed at or above grade level, meaning Level 3 or above, which was 1 percent higher than the state average. Bringing up the average were Lawtey, Brooker and Hampton elementary schools, which had 76 percent, 72 percent and 68 percent of their third-grade classes scoring Level 3 or higher. Lawtey’s percentage was up 10 percent and Brooker’s was up 28 percent, but Hampton was down 4 percent.

Each of those schools also beat the state average test scores.

Starke and Southside elementary third-graders raised the school’s performance as well. The average test scores were up several points. Eleven percent more scored Level 3 or above at Starke Elementary, for a total of 59 percent, and the percentage was up 15 points at Southside to 57 percent.

At the fourth-grade level, performance improved at Starke Elementary, where 50 percent of students passed or excelled at the test, which was 5 percent more than last year. Hampton Elementary was 9 points higher this year at 78 percent (22 percent higher than the state average). Lawtey fourth-graders has the second highest

performance in the district, and while the percent passing was down 7 percent, it still surpassed the state average. The percentage also fell at Southside, 24 points to 41 percent, and at Brooker, 20 points to 36 percent. Thirty-six percent of Brooker’s group also scored at Level 1, which is the lowest performance level.

Districtwide, fourth grade is 16 percent behind the state average when it comes to students passing the math test.

In fifth grade, the difference with the state is 13 percent, although three schools charted improvement this year and surpassed the state average. Leading was Lawtey Elementary, where the percentage at Level 3 or above was up 25 points to 69 percent. The average test score was also 6 points better than the state average. Hampton’s percentage at or above Level 3 increased 28 points to 62 percent, and Southside was up 11 points to 58 percent. Starke Elementary was down 9 points to 48 percent and Brooker tumbled 35 points to 32 percent. Forty-seven percent of the Brooker class scored at Level 1.

Seventh grade was the only middle school class to show improvement on the math test. Improving 14 points to 50 percent, the class nearly matched the state average for students scoring at or above grade level. Still, 30 percent of the class scored at Level 1. In sixth grade, there were more students at Level 1 than at Level 3 and above, 34 percent compared to 32 percent. The percentage passing was down 12 percent from last year. In eighth grade, 41 percent scored at Level 1 compared to just 24 percent passing.

Compared to the state,

Bradford’s sixth grade was 16 percent behind and eighth grade was 27 percent behind.

ScienceScience is tested in the fifth

and eighth grade. Lawtey’s fifth grade shot to the top in the district, climbing 13 points from last year to 50 percent at or above Level 3. The average scores rose 9 points and were comparable to the state average. Hampton was second in the district at 48 percent Level 3 and above, a one-point improvement. Performance in the other fifth grades slipped, including a 13-point drop to 37 percent at Level 3 or above in Brooker. Southside came in at 38 percent, and Starke was last in the district with 31 percent. Both of those schools had 36 percent of fifth-graders scoring at Level 1 on the science test.

The bottom three schools trailed the state from 17 to 24 percentage points.

Thirty-six percent of eighth-graders were also at the lowest level in science, but the middle school still showed improvement, increasing the percentage of students at Level 3 or above five points to 31 percent. The increase still only allowed the school to match the lowest performing elementary

school, Starke Elementary.

Course e a sThere were few bright spots in

the end-of-course exam results, including Algebra 1, where performance dropped at both the middle and high school. Last year, BMS posted marks that rivaled the state. This year, the average test score fell 9 points and the percentage of students scoring Level 3 or above plummeted 22 points to 52 percent. Only 30 percent of students at BHS passed the Algebra exam, down 8 percentage points from last

year. More than half, 51 percent, scored at Level 1.

Just 12 students took the Geometry exam at the middle school, and they all scored Level 3 or higher. That was up 2 percent from last year, and the average test score was up 3 points. These advanced students surpassed the state averages in both cases, and by wide margins.

At the high school, however, the average Geometry test score was down 19 points and the

percentage at Level 3 or above fell from 56 to 26 percent. Fifty-four percent scored at Level 1.

In Biology, the percentage passing dropped from 52 to 47 percent, and in U.S. History the percentage dropped from 60 to 56 percent.

There were no scores from last year to compare the middle school Civics exam results to, but 53 percent tested at Level 3 or above compared to 71 percent of students around the state.

Police dog el s n

drugs, stolen gun

BY DAN HILDEBRANManaging Editor

Lawtey police arrested an

A r c h e r man on two w e a p o n s c h a r g e s , a theft charge and possession of marijuana after pulling the man over for speeding near the

town’s Shell station.Police arrested Austin Gregory

Dow, 19, for two counts of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, larceny and possession of marijuana.

According to an arrest report, arresting officer Brian A. Jones was conducting stationary traffic enforcement near the gas station when he spotted a southbound vehicle traveling 64 mph in the

45-mph zone.During the traffic stop, Jones

requested that Sgt. Michael Gillick bring the department’s new K-9: Erin to the scene. The dog alerted the officers to the presence of drugs and Jones wrote that he put Dow in the back of his patrol car while he and Gillick searched the vehicle.

“In the center console I located a jar containing a green, leafy

substance,” wrote Jones. He added that a field test

confirmed that the substance was marijuana, which weighed five grams.

Jones also found in the center console a Vipertek stun gun.

“When asked to provide a concealed weapons permit,” wrote Jones, “Austin advised he did not possess one.”

Jones then discovered a

purple 9mm pistol within a black backpack located in the passenger seat.

“The firearm was loaded with a full magazine of ammunition,” he wrote. “A check of the firearm through dispatch confirmed that the firearm has been reported stolen out of North Carolina.”

Jones also wrote Dow traffic citations for unlawful speed and driving with an expired tag.Austin Dow
