  • Soldier meets second graders who adopted him

    It was difficult to tell who was more nervous, the serviceman or the group of second-graders.

    For more than an hour last week Dusty Cason answered questions from his penpals who all wanted to know more about his life in Iraq.

    The students of Katie Corbin “adopted” Cason and this school year have kept him replete with letters from home and goody boxes.

    Last week the soldier, on furlough, came by with his parents and grandparents to meet his new friends and answer their queries about the other side of the world.

  • VFW and Auxiliary rally to shampoo our soldiers

    While the Army may give a soldier all he needs to survive, sometimes the wants go ignored.

    That was the case of Sgt. Sarah Wines who wanted, not only for her but the 25 percent of soldiers who are women, a better grade of toiletries.

    The Army provides basic shampoos and toothpaste, but anyone who has ever used them will attest they leave a lot to be desired.

    Telling her grandma Lillian Welkie of her wish list, it soon became VFW Post 5625 Auxiliary to the rescue.

    The Scotts, well known in West Levy County for their ministerial work and involvement in the black community, were animated in their speech and lively in their body language as they recalled their part in the inauguration of America’s first black president.

    It all started back in November, the couple agreed.

  • Woodworker hones his craft in cedar and cypress

    BRONSON — Jackie Strickland was enjoying gently rocking in the chair.

    “A buddy of mine got me started 10 years ago,” he said.

    “I do all the work myself. It’s all hands on by me.”

    “I log my own wood, mill it and cure it out,” he says. That’s an investment of a year’s time from cutting to rocking.

    Strickland obtains his wood by taking down trees for property owners. He will cut the tree and haul the wood, he says, but the owners must haul the brush left by the job.

  • Serpentine Savior

     One way to never forget how to say Basil May's first name: he'll either DAZZLE you or FRAZZLE you with his snake collection.

    Basil is a lifelong Bronson resident who recently acquired a new hobby. Snake rescuing, he said, was something of a happenstance.
