Net widens in CDBG fraud case
Former County Commissioners Alton Land and “Big” John Driggers, along with retired Building and Zoning employee Billy Keen were removed from the Dixie County Courthouse in handcuffs this morning, apparently by FBI agents. Mr. Keen was arrested earlier this month for the alleged theft of more than $5,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds.  The men were taken to the Federal Building in Gainesville and are expected to be released by 4:00 pm today.
CDBG funds are used to assist low and middle income residents with home improvements and for economic development.

Bad Breaks for the Bears
 by John Kelley
The Bears lost a hard, tough game to the Indians last Friday night. When the dust finally settled, the Bears were on the bottom 44 to 27. The Bears started the first quarter with Scott fumbling on the first play. The defense recovered and held Fort White to four plays. The Indians moving the ball score first at six minutes into the quarter. On the kickoff return Rodney Scott smokes the Indians in an 89 yard foot race for the touch down. The Indians score once more and then again on another Scott fumble. Scott and the Bears come back in the second quarter to score on a four yard dash into the end zone. Cassidy adds the extra point and the Bears close the gap 20 to 13. The Indians score once more in the second period. With less than two minutes in the half, Cassidy is called up for a 33 yard field goal attempt. Cassidy uncharacteristically misses and the half ends with Bears still trailing the Indians.
