GOPHER TORTOISE BIOLOGY AND CONSERVATION IN FLORIDA FRIDAY, MAY 18, 2018 10 AM TO 11 AM

Every Florida resident has the ability to impact the conservation of gopher tortoises. Join regional gopher tortoise biologist Kelly O’Connor for a detailed look at the life history of gopher tortoises and information on how you can help protect this unique species. The gopher tortoise is seen as a keystone species because it digs burrows that provide shelter for at least 360 other animal species. They are threatened by predation and habitat destruction. The gopher tortoise is a representative of the genus Gopherus, which contains the only tortoises native to North America. Gopher tortoises are a federally protected species. Current Florida state BROOKSVILLE SPRING HILL regulations clearly indicate that it is illegal to handle 19259 Cortez Boulevard 3290 Commercial Way or disturb gopher tortoises or to bother their burrows. 352.796.1451 352.683.0018 Chinsegut Conservation Center is located at 23212 Lake Lindsey Rd, Brooksville, Florida 34601 www.killingsworthagency.com

MUD ENDEAVOUR 10 SATURDAY, MAY 19, 2018 AT 9 AM TO 1 PM WILDLIFE LANE, BROOKSVILLE

The birth place of Mud Endeavor, this unique location in the Central Florida area gives us extreme terrain that is taboo to Florida’s topography. With 100 foot elevation changes, this run brings a whole new aspect to mud obstacle course racing. It started in 2012 when Mud Endeavor launched our very first mud run here at this location. Since then, things have just taken off. In 2018, we are returning to our favorite place with an entirely new course layout. It will be as if we have never been here before. This location has access to lots of water, so therefore we can make lots of mud, so much mud, in fact, that often shoes become victim to the unforgiving suction. And the best part is that friends and family can watch you trudge through all this mud! Because this property is an old dirt mine, the spectator viewing area is second to none with more than 75 percent of the course totally visible. Spectators are able to stand on the sidelines, look down onto the course, and cheer on their favorite runner while he or she tests their limits on the challenging hill climbs, 100 foot water slides and various other demanding obstacles. As always, this Mud Endeavor event promises to be everything you have come to expect from us and more. Mud Endeavor 10 in 2018.

We take a closer look at Weeki Wachee.

Offense on the rise Weeki Wachee's offense was one of the top yard gaining units in all of Hernando County, aver- aging around 350 yards per game. Much of that was surrounded around the talents of quarterback Vaughn Sykora, who heads into his junior cam- paign. Sykora had a solid Weeki Wachee head coach Jacob Gray 2017 season throwing the football, completing 53 of 122 pass attempts for 871 yards and 10 touchdowns. He'll need to cut down on his interceptions (17) if the Hornets look to take the next step as a unit. Sykora will need to find a new favorite target in the passing game, with Shaun Young graduating.

Lean on Class If there's anyone just as important as Sykora is to the offense, its running back Sebastian Class. The quick running back to- taled just over 1,400 yards of offense in 2017 and proved he can take on the workload. The Hornets lose Diante Thomas on offense, whom served as a switch back to Class, but the senior should have no problems carrying more of the load offensively on his shoulders. Class averaged an impressive 144 yards per game at an average of 9.5 yards per carry.
