By CARL MCKINNEY COURTESY [email protected] Lake City mayor and local attorney Stephen Witt told a sub- stance abuse evaluator that he’d driven under the influence of alcohol on dozens of occasions, but denied having a drinking problem and claimed he had too many professional obligations to attend treatment, court records show. The state’s high court told him to seek treatment anyway. Gleason Place The Florida Supreme Court in May ordered Witt to sign a treatment contract after the Florida Bar filed a complaint over a drunk-driv- ing incident last year. Witt, whom the court placed on probation for the length of the contract, said he will fully comply. “I will do whatever they want me to do,” Witt sold for $18M Witt said Friday. Last August, the Bar filed a complaint against Witt just days before he struck a plea deal for driving under the influence in January 2017. CCSD The Bar accused Witt of violating multiple rules for minor and criminal misconduct for the incident.

    First Edition - September-October 2019 U14 Football LSS 1-2 Ashlawn: After a tense first 15 minutes, with no clear cut chances going either way, Jake Thornton was brought down just inside the box. With the referee awarding a penalty almost instantly, Uzair Mirza stepped up and buried it into the bottom left hand corner, putting Sheriff 1-0 up. However, after just 5 minutes, an error by the defence allowed the Ashlawn striker to square it across the box for a simple tap-in, making it 1-1. The first half was concluded by a series of brilliant saves by Marcus Bald. Not a lot of action happened in the second half. Although there was a period when some high-quality saves occurred from each side. The last ten minutes were tense, but the winner was finally scored with less than 2 minutes to go, from an Ashlawn cross which resulted in our centre back being beaten in the air, the ball just escaping Marcus’ reach. A good game of football, resulting in a 2-1 win for the visitors.
