On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as "the Great War." Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars. The Great War & Armistice Day

Though the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, November 11 remained in the public imagination as the date that marked the end of the Great War. In November 1918, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day. The day's observation included parades and public gatherings, as well as a brief pause in business activities at 11 a.m. On November 11, 1921, an unidentified American soldier killed in the war was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C.; the U.S. Congress had declared the day a legal federal holiday in honor of all those who participated in the war. On the same day, unidentified soldiers were laid to rest at (Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day and Columbus Day) on Mondays.

In 1975, after it became evident that the actual date of Veterans Day carried historical and that the president should issue an annual proclamation calling for the observance of and patriotic significance to many Americans, President Gerald R. Ford signed a new Armistice Day. By that time, 27 state legislatures had made November 11 a legal holiday. law returning the observation of Veterans Day to November 11th beginning in 1978. If An act approved May 13, 1938 made November 11 a legal Federal holiday, "dedicated to November 11 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the federal government observes the holiday on the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day.'"

Blue Grotto continued from page 1A ownership. Some in the Williston area feared Blue Grotto, a fresh water spring and sinkhole that draws divers from around the United States, might be converted to a water bottling facility. Part of the concern was information that the company wanted to rezone the property to commercial, opening the door to commercial developments like a water bottling plant. That is not accurate, Sweger said. Sweger said those same concerns surfaced at a county zoning board meeting. When the company explained that the property has C-3 zoning that doesn’t allow water bottling, and no change is being sought, he believes fears about a bottling company setting up operations at Blue Grotto were eased. Sweger told commissioners he was comfortable postponing the hearing for two weeks.

Vol. 90, No. 18 LevyThursday, November Life 7, 2013 50 cents Bronson Community Gathers for Trunk or Treats and Fun By Terry Witt Senior Staff Writer

An estimated crowd of 2,000 adults and children crowded into James H. Cobb Park in Bronson for the second annual Trunk or Treats Halloween event last Thursday. Bronson Parks and Recreation sponsored the event to give kids a place to trick or treat without having to walk dark city streets. Children from throughout the area came dressed in costumes for the event. They filed past tents and vehicles set up by local businesses to get handfuls of candy and other treats. Businessman Jimmy Jerrels’ greased pig competition drew the most attention. Young children went first trying to catch two young hogs. Older kids followed. Mayor Frank Schuler said Town Clerk Kelly Brettel and Assistant Clerk Susie Robinson came up with the idea for Trunk or Treats. Schuler remembers that children were receiving candy spiked with acid one year in Gainesville. “We definitely didn’t want that here,” he said. Robinson said parents were always calling Town Hall to ask when the town would allow trick or treating. “We decided to go with this. It’s safer,” she said. The town sold burgers, hotdogs and French fries to raise funds for a future recreation/ community building at the park. Bill and Verna Brown of The Children's Table hand a pickle to a young boy who seemed to Government agencies and businesses give away the treats. School organizations set up stands like the treat quite a bit. The Browns gave away five pails of pickles, or about 500 pickles. in the middle of the event to raise funds. The Bronson Middle High School Travel Club, which is raising funds for a trip to Italy and “It’s an amazing educational experience,” she said. Greece next summer, sponsored a cake walk.

Bronson’s Season Ends with Loss, But Best Record in 15 Years By Terry Witt Senior Staff Writer

The 2013 season ended for the Bronson Eagles with a 48-16 loss to the Trenton Tigers Friday night, but the bonds forged between coaches and players was plainly evident at the end of the game. The loss quickly faded in the emotion of the moment. Bronson finished with a 5-5 record, best in more than a decade and a major accomplishment for a program that had been at the brink of extinction a few years ago. Coach Cameron Porch gave his seniors congratulations for their leadership and for giving the younger players role models to follow into the future. “I thank you for pushing us. I thank you for your commitment,” Porch said to his seniors. “We’re going to bounce back and have a better season next year. I’m going to miss every one of you. You are going to leave big shoes to fill.” Assistant Coach Timmy King told the players it was an honor to coach them. “Look what you have accomplished. You guys brought hope to this town. A few years ago they were talking about canceling the football program. I couldn’t believe it.” Line Coach John Uncle told the boys he loved them. Seniors on the Eagle football team are pictured with Coach Cameron Porch (center) and Offensive Coordinator Wes Uncle said he was talking to some of the younger players Lackey. Second row from the left are Brad Cates, Brock Brower, Porch, Tyler Beauchamp, Brian Burnett.

Refuge was awarded a grant to supplement Cedar Key School Science field-study trips to Several months went by, and through dedicated work on the part of US Fish and Wildlife the Refuge for real world learning. Suddenly, the federal sequestration required that all Service Regional Office, the funding again became available. Without wasting any time, grant funds be held in case of a government emergency; Refuge staff and school officials Refuge Ranger Pam Darty and Science teacher Raymond Powers cranked out the shopping list of technical equipment that would assist in the field research. Christmas happened in October. The Ranger arrived at CKS with several boxes to be opened by Powers, his students, and Cedar Key School principal Darby Allen. All the study and safety equipment to keep students busy for days was unpacked, sorted, and stored for the upcoming field trip to the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge. “The goal of our Cedar Key Water Quality Project is to involve students and make them aware of the importance of clean, fresh water to the health of both the Cedar Key environment and the seafood industry,” said Powers. “Our clam farms are totally dependent on unpolluted Gulf waters and monitoring the rivers that flow into the Cedar Key estuary is vital for the survival of the industry. We are extremely grateful to the USFWS, Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge for helping us fund this project.” Refuge managers support environmental and conservation education, especially this field study project connecting students to the health of the historic Suwannee and the invaluable Gulf.

Fall at the Ranch Fundraiser a Big Success

Bell, Florida (October 30, 2013) – More than 300 community members from the Tri-Counties came out to support Haven Hospice on October 19 at the annual Fall at the Ranch fundraiser at the Rock Bluff Ranch which raised more than $56,000 in total support from ticket sales, auctions and donations. While enjoying the delicious food from the Ivy House Restaurant and the fun, musical entertainment provided by Dottie South and the Slackers, attendees bid on some incredible silent auction items including trips, cookware, pet products and services, jewelry, artwork, wine and specialty food, fishing equipment and more. Local business owner Carol Tew was invited to the podium and spoke about the care and compassion Haven Hospice provided for her late husband. Ms. Tew’s comments touched many hearts in the audience and moved several attendees to give generously to Haven Hospice that evening. Auctioneer Cracker Johnson entertained the crowd and took bids fast and furiously on several interesting items including an acoustic guitar signed by Josh Turner, an American country music singer and actor; one carat total weight diamond stud earrings; and a Classic Wrigley Field Rooftop Experience. The event’s success was due to the many silent and live auction donors as well as the generosity of Haven Hospice supporters. A very special thank you to Mr. Harry Coleman, the Fall at the Ranch diamond sponsor. All proceeds of the Fall at the Ranch event benefited unreimbursed patient care, grief support and community education programs at Haven Hospice in the Tri-Counties. Haven Hospice is your not-for-profit community hospice organization providing services since 1979 and licensed in Florida since 1980.
