Authorities have not released the identities of the pedestrian or motorist involved in the crash. Lake City Police Department Public Information Officer Mike Lee said the call regarding the crash was received by police department dispatchers at 8:04 p.m. Thursday. “What we know at this point is there was a 28-year-old female who was crossing the street — she was in the crosswalk — and a copper-colored 2006 Ford pickup truck was driving eastbound and struck her,” Lee said. He said the specifics of the crash, such as who had what color light on the traffic signal at the time of the accident, is still under investigation. “We don’t really have any kind of information yet about who is at fault. We’re still investigating it,” Lee said. The victim was taken to UF Health Shands, where she remains in critical condition, Lee said. ARE YOU HEART HEALTHY?

OUR OPINION Trouble with the truth at City Hall

nce again — it happens here from time to time — City Hall has run afoul of the truth and made a Oclaim with no apparent basis in fact. This time the issue is trees, and the city’s near obses- sion with harvesting 133 acres of them at Lake City Gateway Airport. City officials, led by City Manager Wendell Johnson, told the folks at Florida Gateway College during a pri- vate meeting in January that they had no choice but to clear the trees. The FAA, said Johnson and compa- ny, insisted. That is the account from FGC President Lawrence Barrett, who was there. Problem is, the FAA had no idea what Johnson was talking about. Emails between the federal agency and city officials some weeks later show the feds had not been informed of the city’s plan to harvest the trees at the time of the meeting with FGC. And when FAA officials did learn of the plan, they sug- gested the city proceed with caution and first perform a series of studies to avoid unforeseen consequences. By no means did any FAA official, in correspondence we saw, ever say the trees must come down. The city’s stated concern is deer on the runway, Medical community fuels growth along with a couple of other claims that have since been debunked (FDOT issues that didn’t exist as well as a ommunity members who had OLUSTEE SUCCESSFUL AGAIN supposed concern over terrorism every bit as bizarre as the privilege of attending Lake it sounds).

PHOTOS COURTESY LCMC Lake City-Columbia County Chamber of Commerce members had the opportunity to “Meet the Heart of Lake City Medical Center” Thursday during a hospital open house. Approximately 150 people got an up-close look at the Cardiac Cath Lab and other areas of the medical center. “What we wanted to show off with the event was our Cath Lab capabilities now and where they can go in the future,” said LCMC Director of Marketing Noah Walker. Dr. Steve Roark presented new devices and procedures utilized in the lab. Roark is an interventional cardiologist at LCMC and performs preventative and reactionary heart health care. Kelly Sikes, cardio vascular technician and nurse at the LCMC Cardio Cath Lab, also told visitors about equipment used in surgical procedures on the heart. Feb. 11-17 was Cardio Vascular Tech Week and February is Heart Health Awareness Month.

Catholic Charities recognized for helping safety officials, residents weather the storm during Irma. UNNOTICED

By TONY BRITT [email protected]

Catholic Charities is accus- tomed to serving local families 365 days a year, but when Hurricane Irma threatened and then impact- ed the area last year, the agency ramped up its services. During the storm, local families had to deal with dangerous condi- tions ranging from flash flooding and high winds to lengthy power outages. Some power outages resulted in families losing all their per- ishable food items, but Catholic Charities was prepared with food and water. The agency provided food and water for first respond- ers, local families and people in storm shelters. Catholic Charities’ efforts to serve the community during the disaster were recently recognized by the Department of Children and Family Services, which high- lighted the organization’s work in “providing vital food assistance to the citizens of Florida.” Suzanne Edwards, regional director at Catholic Charities’ Lake City Regional Office, said TONY BRITT/Lake City Reporter a representative from DCF Suzanne M.

FAMILY FEATURES live oil is a flavorful and versatile cooking oil that is often trusted in popular cooking methods such as sauteing, stir-frying, dressing, Omarinating and grilling. It can also earn your trust when it comes to baking. With seven olive oil varieties to fit almost any need, each Filippo Berio olive oil has its own distinct color, aroma and flavor characteristics. Among those seven, the Extra Light Olive Oil offers a delicate aroma and subtle flavor that can complement your favorite baked goods. Its high smoke point helps keep those goodies moist, and with strong flavors like chocolate, it also lets the sweetness come through. Additionally, it provides high levels of mono-unsaturated fat (“good” fat) and low levels of saturated fat (“bad” fat), making it a more nutritional choice when compared to butter or margarine. Because you need less olive oil than butter in baking, you’ll save calories as well. One easy way to incorporate olive oil in your baked goods is during the prep work: where recipes call for buttering or flouring pans, instead brush the pan with olive oil and dust with flour for the same effect as butter.
