Clay Driggers approached
the Lake Butler City Commission for a third time last Monday
night to ask again about the post
office tree he says is endangering
his home. He wants it cut down.
Driggers’ complaint should
not be taken lightly, but bringing
the problem to a resolution has
so far eluded the city.
A request for bids went out,
but the city received only one,
which came to $8,000 to cut the
tree down and $2,000 more to
remove the stump. Driggers offered to pay for removal of the
stump himself.
The city called for more bids
and received another just that
day, but city manager Dave Mecusker told the council accepting

After a three-month intensive investigation, Union County Sheriff’s Office reported the
solving of multiple burglaries
and grand thefts in the Raiford
and Lake Butler areas. Items stolen from the victim’s properties
include lawn mowers, air conditioning units, utility trailers, 4
wheelers and an air compressor.
On Monday, Oct. 31, 2016 the
Union County Sheriff’s Office
received a tip of a suspicious
vehicle possibly involved in the
Union County crimes.
Completion of this investigation led to the arrest of Larry Lee
Brooks Jr., age 22 of Sanderson
(Baker County) and Larry Lee
Brooks Sr., age 44 of Starke.
Investigators received warrants
for this father and son burglary

include: Felony Burglary and
Felony Grand Theft with additional charges to come. Brooks

County’s Health
Needs Work
BY JAMES WILLIAMS
Interim Editor
A meeting of Union County’s
health care professionals held
what was billed as a public
discussion of the county’s health
network and the its health needs
and concerns. The public was
invited and encouraged to attend
the Oct. 6 group meeting—and
the meeting was advertised—
but the only members of the
public who appeared were Mary
Brown, from the Union County
Public Library and this reporter.
Among health professionals
present were Jennifer Thomas,
chief operating officer of the
Lake Butler Hospital and
members of her staff. Also on
hand was Brian Moderie from the
Florida Department of Health,
Prem Paul Murrhee, marketing
liaison from Greystone Health
Network, Melody McRannolds,
Health Insurance Marketplace
Navigator at Suwannee River
Health Education Center and
Joseph Pietrangelo, the director
of both the Bradford and Union
County Departments of Health.
Much of the evening was
spent covering the Lake Butler
Hand Surgery Hospital’s swing
bed program. There wasn’t a
great deal of discussion about
the county’s health needs overall
or the “2016 County Health
Rankings for Florida” report,
though a synopsized version was
distributed.
The study is data-driven, based
on such factors as how many
hospitals or doctors are located
in a given region (in this case,
a county,) how many incidents
of diseases like STDs or cancer
are reported, or health factors
like rates of obesity, suicides,
smoking and teen pregnancies.
Some of the information relies on
secondary sources, like actuarial
data or the U.S. Census.
The report takes into account
the local environment and health
behaviors and the role they play
in an area’s overall health. It

Interim Editor, UC Times
Veterans Day in Lake Butler
and other towns is somewhat defined by the fact that it closely
follows the high school homecoming. Expectations of fun and
frolic are high; but, let’s face it,
by their nature veterans are not
fun and frolic people. Given
what many of them have been
through, you wouldn’t expect
them to be.
The Lake Butler Veterans Day
ceremony on Friday, Nov. 11 was
small and dignified, and moving.
From the JROTC color guard that
raised the flag--Cadet 2nd Lt.
Blake Harrell, Cadet 2nd Lt. Ty
North, Cadet Maj. Kaitlyn Reed,
and Cadet Capt. Noah Mattox-to the grizzled American Legion
veterans rolling down the street
waving to a thin crowd, it was
touching and very local.
Senior Pastor Adam Smithyman, of Freedom Destiny Church
in Orange Park spoke briefly of
the commitment of veterans to
the nation, and the concomitant
commitment the nation makes to
its veterans.
“It isn’t the preacher who
gives us freedom of religion,” he
said, “it’s the veteran. It isn’t the
reporter who gives us freedom
of the press; it’s the veteran,” he
said.
Smithyman pointed out that
peacetime veterans and veterans who served in wartime, but
didn’t see battle, all of them
served the country and preserved
democracy.
Fewer than 10 percent of
Americans are veterans, he
added, and only one percent of
Americans have served in battle.
After the ceremony, the Veterans Day parade featured, among
others, the UCHS marching band,
its color guard, the JROTC, and
entries by the American Legion,
the Order of the Eastern Star, the
VFW, and the Jacksonville and
Gainesville Shriners in tiny vehicles. The latter, the Shriners, are
always fun and frolic kinds of
people, of course, and many of
them are also veterans.
Once reserved for Memorial
Day to commemorate
the war dead, red paper
poppies are increasingly
showing up for Veteran’s
Day as well.
The Union
County High
School band,
led by Kelly
Dorsey, kept
the day lively
and patriotic.
Thank you!

or rejecting any bid could not be
expedited at the Monday meeting
and it wasn’t on the agenda.
Mecusker added that it would
be on next month’s agenda and
the resolution of the tree problem
would be taken care of shortly
thereafter.
Jeffrey Sweet, who lives on
West Main Street had just the
opposite problem. He and housemate Chuck Floyd asked the city
to remove a large tree on city
land that was split and needed to
come down.
After several discussions with
Mecusker and other city representatives, city employees took
the tree down. Unfortunately it
damaged patio furnishings and a
fence in the process.
Four additional cypress trees
behind Sweet’s house, which
were also on city property were
also taken down.
Sweet charged that Mecusker
and the city had cut down the additional trees out of spite.
Mecusker said the tall cypress
trees presented a hazard in light
of an oncoming hurricane and
were a danger to Sweet’s home,
which Sweet denied.
Things took an odd turn when
Sweet alluded to several conversations he had with Mecusker;
but Mecusker replied that not
only did he not recall having
conversations with Sweet, he
couldn’t remember having seen
him before that evening.
Sweet replied that it wasn’t
actually a conversation between
the two of them, but with Floyd,
which Mecusker did recall.
Under any circumstance, the
cypress stumps were left behind
and Sweet wanted to know when
they would be removed.
“You can’t even see those
stumps from the road,” Mecusker replied.
“But you can see them when
you’re walking by and they’re
ugly,” Sweet responded. Mecusker replied that the stumps
3A
would be removed in due time
but could not give Sweet an exact date.
Earlier in the meeting, Sweet
had accompanied two other residents, Kim Belavik and Cathy
Zerba, who had complaints
against an unnamed neighbor
they said were violating one or
more sections of the housing
code.
“He was living in a camper,”
they said. They also mentioned
junk cars and said the odor of
cat urine was seeping into their
homes from the offending neighbor’s. They added that the neighbor was once weed-eating his
yard at 11 p.m. The neighbor had
told them he planned to open an
RV park on his property.
Mecusker said he was aware
of the issue at the location, but
vacancies in the code enforcement board had precluded him
from doing much to remedy the
problem. (See separate story.)
Then came Melissa Hendrix
who once again took Mecusker to task for issues at the Lake
Park. Her complaint this time revolved around the fact that Mecusker had told the council that
either a deputy from the sheriff’s
office or a city employee would
monitor the opening and closing
of the gate into the Lake Park
“loop,” a traditional hangout
for young people and partying
crowds.
Hendrix said what bothered
her was that Mecusker’s solution had been to give a key to a
non-employee to close the gate.
Mecusker said city employees
had been opening the park each
morning.
“You lied,” Hendrix told Mecusker. “You told us it would be
a city employee. A private citizen has a key. Why can’t I have
a key?”
Mecusker said the expense of
having a city employee working
overtime at night just to lock up
the park precluded the employee
solution.
Others jumped in: Maggie
Wetzel told the commission that
the problem was caused by farm
boys in big trucks. “They all live
on big farms,” she said, “They
can party out there all they want.”
Mecusker and several commissioners alluded to the problem of
having no city law enforcement.
“We can’t solve it with a $50,000
payment to UCSO,” Mecusker
said.
Later in the meeting, Commissioner Cason said he was no fan
of charts and graphs, but hoped
the commission would resolve itself to track repeat code violation
offenders.
City Attorney Maines again
objected to judgments or liens
against property owners because
legal fees became too expensive.
Commissioner Schenck suggested small claims court judgments against errant owners
would cost the city no more than
$300 per incident.
Some progress was made: residents David Stegner and Cherry Jones were appointed to fill
the problematic vacancies on the
code violations board.
At the end of the meeting,
Commissioner Annette Redmond said she had been contacted several times concerning
residential trash being dropped
in business dumpsters, up to and
including furniture. There were
also occasions when trash was
not being cleaned up around
dumpsters and trash cans alike.
No real solution was suggested,
other than to track the source of
the infractions. Mecusker said he
had contacted some guilty residents dumping trash in business
dumpsters and they were sheepish about it.
Commissioner Schenck ended
the meeting by quoting Roman
philosopher Sextus’s observation that “the wheel of law grinds
slowly.” He omitted its tag lines,
added centuries later, “The wheel
of law grinds slowly; but it does
grind and it does it finely.”

HEALTH
asks, “What is the expected birth
and death rate or life span by
county?”
The report was based on a study
by the University of Wisconsin
Population Health Institute and
is a health overview of America’s
counties. The project was funded
by the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation; a major supporter of
health information.
Other organizations involved
in gathering the data included
the United Way Worldwide, the
National Association of Counties,
the Local Initiative Support
Coalition and Neighborworks,
all of which are organizations
involved in health their areas of
concern.
The Wisconsin study presents
two major rankings for each
county: health factors, including
those mentioned above, among
others; and health outcomes,
which speak to the quality of
health and the expected length of
life in each county.
As is often the case, the Union
County data makes a reader ask,
“Are the prisons included?”
Some numbers here seem to
suggest that they are; others, not
so much.
Union was ranked number 48
in health factors, near the top
of the bottom half of all Florida
counties. However, in health
outcomes, Union is ranked 66,
next to last among all Florida
counties.
Union’s
health
factors
compare reasonably well with
other Florida counties. St. Johns
County was ranked number 1, the
best. Nearby counties included
Bradford, ranked 45 in health
factors; Clay ranked number
11; Columbia, 50; Alachua
10; Baker, 46; and Putnam 66,
second to last for health factors.
Hendry County was ranked last.
Clearly, in health factors at least,
Union could do better, but it
could do far worse.
In Health outcomes, however,
it does do far worse. Health
outcomes show St. Johns is again
number one; Clay is at 6, Alachua
25; Hendry at 53; Bradford at 61;
Putnam at 65 and Union at 66,
next to last of all counties.
The full Wisconsin report
(found online, not the synopsis
distributed at the meeting) cites a
number of suspected causes.
Residential
segregation
of blacks and whites is a
fundamental cause of health
disparities in the US. However,
the report points out that black/
white residential segregation is
lowest along the Southeastern
seaboard.
The rate of deaths due to
drug overdoses has increased 79
percent in rural counties since
2002, although if FDLE figures
are correct Union County has a
relatively low rate of drug deaths
or even offenses.
While the Wisconsin study
only summarized details, that
is not the case with a slightly
older study by the University of
Washington’s Institute of Health
Metrics and Evaluation.
Between the two studies, there
is plenty of evidence to suggest
that--prisons or no prisons--in
rural Union County, obesity,
child poverty, lack of health
insurance, teen pregnancies,
STDs,
alcoholism,
binge
drinking and continued use of
tobacco products play very large
roles in lowering the county’s
health standards.
Almost one in two rural
residents also report insufficient
sleep, many less than seven
hours per day or night. (In Union
County, consider the number
of residents with multiple jobs,
employees in the trucking
industry or those with night shifts
at correctional facilities.)
The IHME’s figures from
2011, 2012 and 2013 found that
Union County’s life expectancy
was 76.3 years for females and
for males it was 67.1 years. This
compares to a national average
of 81.2 years for females and
76.5 years for males during the
period.
Union County has also shown
a shorter life span by 1.7 years
for females since 1985 and a
half-year increase for males over
the same period.
These numbers on health
outcomes, should give Union
residents pause, if not some
degree of alarm.
Union reflects the IMHE’s
findings that in America’s
rural counties overall, the life
expectancy was shorter than
urban metropolitan counties and
in many rural counties, unlike
metropolitan areas, the life
expectancy for males, females
and in some counties both, was
continuing to decline.
Over the last few years, the
number of suicides in Union
County has ranged from 4 to 10
per year. If the suicide rate per
100,000 is adjusted upward for
comparison with other regions,
Union’s adjusted rate is 22+
suicides per year, per 100,000
people, compared with 14 and 15
people per year per 100,000 for

Continued from 4A
They currently have 18 paid
members from Alachua, Bradford and Union County. Cecelia
Young serves as president and
their treasurer is Nancy Brewer.
The Union County Bee Club
meets the second Tuesday of
each month at 7 p.m. in the Agriculture Extension Office. The
goal of this club is to educate
beekeepers and support fellow
club members.
The club has a guest speaker
each month. These speakers are
usually someone who is very involved in the industry. Some of
their former speakers have been
agricultural apiary inspectors
and commercial beekeepers,
Young said.
These programs are important
because they teach people from
many different backgrounds
about bees and their importance
to society.
“I wish that I had learned this
skill a long time ago,” said Otti
Pederson, an inmate at RMC. “It
may have helped keep me out of
trouble.”
One out of three hives in the
United States is lost each year
due to Colony Collapse Disorder.
Combat Colony Disorder, also
referred to as C.C.D., is a worldwide epidemic. The actual cause
of C.C.D. is unknown, but many
believe it is related to pests that
have been introduced from other
countries and the pesticides used
to treat these pests. These pests
include the Varroa mites and the
Small Hive Beetle. Inmates are
taught by the Youngs to use an
integrated pest management system to control the pest.
“We have supported this program from the beginning and
are proud to do so,” said David
Westervelt, Florida Department
of Agriculture bureau chief.
“Any way that we can reduce the
tax burden on Florida citizens is
a win-win situation.”

UC Public Library Director
Mary Brown came to the Oct.
6 meeting to suggest the area’s
health professionals also be
aware of what she felt might be
growing homelessness in the
county.
Brown insisted that the public
library would be continue to be
available to any and all members
of the public, but added that
the appearance of homeless or
perceived homeless patrons at
the library might have increased
slightly since the completion
of the Rails to Trails pathway
nearby.
The evening ended when
the group set as a goal for the
coming year, the compilation and
publication of a health resource
guide to be distributed to
residents and health professionals
in the county.
