Yankeetown has lost its challenge of Levy County's approval of the Tarmac King Road mining operation.
In a 287-word order, 8th Circuit Court Judge Robert E. Rountree Jr. dismissed the petition for a writ of certiorari— a judicial review — of the Levy County Commission's May 3 decision to approve the mine on a 4,750-acre site near Inglis.  The company expects to mine at the rate of 25 acres per year for 110 years.

Most tracks race heats first, but by running features first, new owner Ann Young hopes to keep families on the edge of their seats before bedtime.
