Her grandmother had been hanging clothes on a line in the sandy yard. Th e sheets lifted in the breeze revealing the vast prairie of marsh grasses that lay to the Gulf. Now it was the fourth day since the girl, Alifare, and her dog had found him near the sun-bleached shanty on the tidal creek – there on the low bluff where he lay bleeding deep within the palmetto thicket. It was the woman’s singing that had entered his feverish sleep and drawn his cold eye to the light of day. Soon the hound, Hobo, was punching the palmetto fans with his long nose, scratching, snarling and barking as the girl hurried to draw back on his leather collar. Her grandmother had arrived by then with her shotgun. She had laid back the palmetto fans with the gun barrel to see more clearly the man; looked like the mosquitoes had found him fi rst in the night. Even before the rain had stopped entirely, they had descended over him like a prickly nausea. Now he lay amidst their swarm, partially hidden in the thicket. Th e fast boat that had brought him up the creek in the night squall had rammed ashore, beached on its side beyond the rickety dock. Th ey’d brought him to the house, his wounded shoulder seeping blood through the crude bandaging he’d made while in fl ight over the rough, ink-dark water the night before. After several starts they were able to get the delirious man to the front steps and then into a bed in the house. Th e older woman had washed and redressed his shoulder wound, clearly the result of a gunshot. Th e man slept, his sun-burnished torso above the sheets, his grisly face set in a grimace of pain. When he woke the next morning, the girl was at the foot of his bed. She took a step back as his eyes opened and his vision cleared. After an instant, he remembered how he’d come to be in this bed. He remembered what had come before. Th en the woman, who had made a broth, brought it in. “You don’t need to be talkin’ ,” she instructed both. Th en to the girl she said, “Alifare, you go fi ll that pitcher back up. Th is man needs lots of water.” When the girl left the room, the woman helped Redmond to sit higher in the bed.

Linton was at the foot of the steps when the hound broke free, or the girl playfully let go.

VOL. 88, NO. 31 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2012 50 CENTS Fowler’s Bluff Water Treatment Plant More than Halfway Completed Construction on the new Fowler’s Bluff water treatment plant and water system improvements reached an important milestone this week. A drive past the site on CR 347 reveals that the structural steel framing and split-faced block has been erected, a primary fi lter element is installed and construction of the ground storage tanks is taking shape. Th e general contractor, Beach Construction, Inc., of Gainesville, began work in the fall, and as of mid-January, is more than 50 percent complete, on schedule and on budget. Th e new system will replace one built in 1969 and utilizes a nanofi ltration system that will allow residents to remove their private water fi lters and softeners when it becomes operational. Joe Mittauer, President of Mittauer & Associates, Inc., the environmental and civil engineering fi rm selected for the project, praised the Fowler’s Bluff Water Association for their vision and determination to make these much needed improvements. Mr. Mittauer added, “Our environmental and structural engineers, project managers, and support staff , the top quality staff at the USDA Rural Development offi ces in Ocala and Gainesville and the professionalism of Beach Construction is why this project is successful.” A $2,890,000 grant and low-interest loan from USDA Rural Development is funding the water treatment facility that includes over 20,800 linear feet of water supply piping. For more information, contact Greg Lang, V.P. of Community Development at Mittauer & Associates, Inc. at [email protected]
