David Campbell lives by his father’s ‘three rules’

BY VINCENT ALEX BROWNTimes Editor

Haling from the class of 1972, Union County High School graduate David Campbell is back home to serve as Lake Butler Middle School’s new principal. What he brings to the new job that started on July 1 is rooted in a simple formula from his childhood.

“My father had three rules and three only: Be where you’re supposed to be, doing what you’re supposed to be doing, when you’re supposed to be doing it. He said you follow those three,” Campbell said.

“If you break any one of them, you’re going to fall on your face. But if you keep those three, everything flows and you’re able to work through things.”

Campbell received a bachelor’s in physical education from the University of Florida and a master’s in educational leadership from Nova Southeastern University.

Before coming back to Union County, Campbell built up an impressive resume, beginning at Chiefland High School in the 1980s then on to Trenton

High School before landing in Suwannee County where he spent the last 22 years.

He served as head football coach/athletic director and as principal of both Branford High School and Suwannee Middle School in Live Oak.

Campbell learned of an opening here and let the Union County School Board know he was interested. “I have a lot of connections in Union County.

“I feel very fortunate to come here,” Campbell said. “I felt good about coming to a district that is well run, and has a lot of things in place, which is indicated by the school grades they’ve earned through the years.”

And it’s the place from which he came.

“I’ve always wanted to come back to what I consider home, where I graduated from,” and

“an opportunity to work with people I’ve known and trusted and believe in.”

Campbell is looking forward to reconnecting with childhood friends.

He says he and his former classmates bring a “work ethic,” to the job, “what it means to get up and come in every day” — the kind shaped by his father’s “three rules.”

“I bring a lot of positiveness to a situation,” Campbell said. “Our vision is all about our students, and we as the adults are always the servants to our kids and to our parents and to our community.

“I love the staff that’s here,” he said, describing them as a “great nucleus of smart and hardworking and intelligent

Father and son rule Butler Lake at 4th of July Celebration

At the annual 4th of July Celebration at Lakeside Park, sponsored by Lake Butler Rotary for the past 10 years, the Big Bass Fishing Tournament was as big as ever with a total of 53 boats participating.

The first place winners were the father-and-son team of Larry and Shane Hendricks with a catch weighing in at 3.25 pounds. When they weighed in at 8:30 a.m., past Rotary President Zack Smith and organizer of the event knew he had a winner.

Larry said that Shane just graduated from high school and the win was a great way to celebrate his recent achievement. Apparently the catch was an exciting event for both of them, as Larry described their shaky legs after the fish was netted.

Here are the winners, in order, followed by the size of their catch and prize for the top three:

Over the past few years, corn crops have grown in Union County, replacing tobacco as a former cash crop — especially from Worthington Springs to Providence.

“We’ve been out of tobacco for a while,” said Basil Bactawar who for the past three years has served as the director of the Union County Extension office of the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS).

The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) 2007 Census of Agriculture — the latest that such data is available — shows that in Florida, tobacco crops went from 3,851 total acres harvested in 2002, to less than a third of that in 2007, down to just over a thousand acres.

Meanwhile, corn crops across the state went from 26,790 total acres harvested in 2002 to 33,915 in 2007. Yet corn for silage (for feeding cattle) remained steady at around 27,000 acres.

In Union County, the USDA census doesn’t even list any acreage for tobacco.

However, Bactawar estimates that Union County has about 200 acres of corn crops now — up from 49 acres since the 2007 census. “This year we’ve seen new production. One of the reasons that we’re seeing new growth is that the corn prices are higher.”

Bactawar says the county has 275 farms with 62,503 acres devoted to agriculture. That’s out of the 155,878 acres comprising Union County, or 40 percent. That translates to $11 million in farm-gate (localized) sales.

The rest that isn’t devoted to

homes, parks, lakes, government, business and industry is taken up by timberland.

“Most of the land here in Union County is forestry,” Bactawar said.

In fact, Plum Creek is the largest private landowner in Florida with more than 448,000 acres in 21 Florida counties. One of its four principal areas in Florida is Lake Butler Forest. Plum Creek owns more than half of Union County.

But it too is in the agriculture business with “more than 25 million seedlings planted in Florida and Georgia in 2012,” according to the company’s website. And its ”recreational lease program makes most of the company’s Florida lands accessible for hiking, bird-watching, fishing and seasonal hunting.”

Beyond timberland, the top

three crops for Union County are corn, sorghum, and hay.

Technically, hay is by far the largest one, but most of it is grown to directly support 10,000 head of cattle across 188 farms (out of the county’s total 275 farms), Bactawar estimates.

Union County even has 140 acres of pecan trees.

Nevertheless, across the board, the USDA census shows numbers for Union County declining from 2002 to 2007. On May 31 the agency closed out the 2012 Census of Agriculture in order to start compiling data collected over the past year. Once released, that report will provide a more up-to-date picture of agriculture trends throughout the U.S. including Florida and Union County.

The agriculture census was first conducted in 1840.

Another growing part of the

agricultural industry in Union County is goat farming.

“The small ruminant and goat industry is small, but it’s growing,” said Bactawar, due to demand by ethnic groups such as Hispanics from the Caribbean and Mexico, along with those of Middle Eastern descent. Yet in North America “we only produce half of the goat meat we need. The rest is imported from Australia and New Zealand.

“There is potential for growth in the industry,” said Bactawar.

The extension office is located at 25 NE 1st Street in Lake Butler. For more information call 386-496-2321 or visit http://union.ifas.ufl.edu.

With about a dozen positions with the Florida Dept. of Corrections under his belt, Steve Wellhausen has finally landed at the “flagship of the department,” the Reception and Medical Center in Lake Butler to serve as warden during one of the facility’s most challenging times as it gets privatized due to a mandate by the state legislature.

A native of the small community of Maxwell just west of Jacksonville, Wellhausen started out as a correctional officer at Florida State Prison in Starke. While there he earned

a bachelor’s degree at the University of North Florida in criminal justice with a minor in public administration, thanks to a GI Bill from serving 12 years in the Naval Reserves and National Guard — though a college degree is not necessary to be a warden, Wellhausen said, and many wardens in DOC don’t have one.

“I was just very lucky at the time to have the opportunity,” he said, thanks to the GI Bill, DOC, and a “very supportive wife,” Genia.

“She committed more to my degree than I probably did,” Wellhausen said, “raising kids while I was going to school.”

They have two grown sons: One is 27 and serves as a nurse;

the other, 24, works for a local dredging company.

After receiving his degree, Wellhausen moved into DOC’s Bureau of Classification and Central Records which “is responsible for the overall classification system in the department, including the reception of inmates into the department, development of the

inmate management plan,” and much more, according to the bureau’s website.

Wellhausen then traveled around the state to Century Correctional Institution, north of Pensacola, down to Charlotte CI, north of Ft. Myers, and then “several stops in between.”

Troy’s Top 10 Impact Players of 2013: Bryan Holmes

The Trojan Beat blog, covering Troy University football, listed former Union County High School wide receiver Bryan Holmes as one of its 10 Troy players to watch in 2013.

Standing at spot number nine, the blog said, “Bryan Holmes has some big shoes to fill. While Eric Thomas will technically be

taking over Chip Reeves spot at the X-receiver position, Holmes is the guy the coaches feel has the skill set to physically replace the speedy Reeves.

“Clocked at 4.48 in the 40-yard dash out of [UCHS] (Reeves ran a 4.47 at Pro Day), the now-sophomore will likely get a shot to be Corey Robinson’s go-to deep receiver.”

The blog goes on to say, “It will be interesting how offensive coordinator Kenny Edenfield uses Holmes early in the year. He isn’t a big name compared to Robinson or Thomas but his athletic ability won’t be easy to

hide for long.”In 2011, as a member of the

UCHS track and field boys’ team, Holmes won the 100m with a time of 10.8. and was third in the high jump after clearing 5’10”.

In football, he gained 900 all-purpose yards in 2010 as a receiver, punt returner and kick returner.

Holmes saw himself and Troy as a good match and liked them because “they throw the ball a lot. I’m a wide receiver, so that’s what I like.”

History is full of nations that rise and fall but Daniel speaks of a different type of kingdom as he interprets Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (Daniel 2). The dream has an image with four different parts representing four different kingdoms – Babylon, Medo-Persian, Greek, and Roman (Daniel 2: 37-40). As Daniel interprets the dream he speaks of another kingdom which, “the God of heaven will set up … which shall never be destroyed … and it shall stand forever” (Daniel 2:44). This kingdom would be set up during the fourth (Roman) kingdom. While many are waiting on this kingdom to come, it must already be here if this prophecy is true. God established this kingdom, as He said He would. Paul wrote of how God, “conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love” (Colossians 1:13). Are you in this kingdom built by God?

educators, very professional.”He said, “I do see us moving

forward and I see a lot of good things for this school system completely.” Campbell sees all the schools as well run and said the district is very supportive.

Yet, like others he recognizes that all is not perfect in Union County or the middle school for that matter.

“We will work at those things that we need to work on to

improve,” said Campbell. “First we’ve got to identify what’s needed and what we need to do. I’m just at what you might call the ‘ground floor’ of that.”

A few teachers have already dropped by to visit Campbell and he plans on calling each one with an invitation to stop by throughout the summer for a one-on-one visit.

“I look forward to meeting every one of the staff and faculty here.”

Union County Superintendent of Schools Carlton Faulk said that former Lake Butler

Middle School Principal Jerry Graybeal informed Faulk that he was getting married and going to move to Kentucky, but didn’t know when. So everyone agreed it was best to find a replacement to start the school year off right.

Faulk hired Graybeal in 1990, recounting how he “worked with Jerry all these years beside him as a coach, as a teacher, as an administrator. He’s done an outstanding job and we hate to see him leave.”

Graybeal served as principal of the middle school for three years.

Now a new phase in life begins for both Graybeal and Campbell.

Anyone stopping by Campbell’s office will enjoy a good laugh while he shares childhood tales about the “neat little community” of Lake Butler he knew way back when, which he once again calls home.

Campbell and his wife Shawn have three children, Bethany Byrd, Will Campbell and David Campbell, Jr. Shawn and Bethany both teach at Branford Elementary School where David also served as principal for several years. His wife has taught for 37 years and plans retire after year 40. Will has worked at Publix for several years and David Jr. is a senior at UF, playing as a linebacker on the football team.

He then became warden at Madison CI, in Madison, and later at Tomoka CI, west of Daytona Beach. Then it was back to Charlotte and after arriving at Columbia CI, east of Lake City, he was recruited within six months for the RMC position.

“It’s an honor,” said Wellhausen. “You walk through there and you see the list of wardens that have served there at RMC. It’s just an honor to be a part of that, to be part of the mission and everything and the entire team there at RMC.”

RMC currently houses and manages 1,200 inmates. An inmate is usually processed within five days and typically transferred out within 30 days. RMC keeps 240-280 permanent inmates on-site who help run the main unit compound, along with a little over 100 at the west unit and more than 430 at the work camp.

RMC also maintains inmates and staff at Jacksonville Memorial Hospital for more critical care, encompassing an entire floor with 33 beds plus nine for intensive care.

Wellhausen and his wife, who also works for DOC, live outside of Jacksonville just 35 minutes away with no plans to move to Lake Butler.

That is probably a good thing since wardens in DOC, including RMC, usually only have tenure of about three years. Former warden Brian Riedl served at RMC for four years and was the probably the longest serving warden in the state, Wellhausen said. He is now regional warden for DOC’s new Region 2.

“They try to keep wardens moving around to have management teams come in with a fresh set of eyes, to keep the institution moving forward,” said Wellhausen.

Assistant wardens, too, move around about every three or four years. Colonels sometimes remain longer, but they often move around just as much.

Wellhausen is happy for whatever time he has at RMC.

“What I’ve been impressed with the most is just the quality of the staff,” Wellhausen said, “and the ownership of the staff and the pride they take into what they do each and every day.

“It’s kind of unique to RMC where the people really have that ownership and have the pride of what they want to do and they want to be the best and want to shine for the entire department,” said Wellhausen.

He said that while they’re always looking at ways to improve, he said his administration’s main mission is to support the staff, to give them guidance and direction,

to keep them going and to keep them built up. This is especially important since it’s been a tough few years for all state employees.

“The medical privatization is our main focus right now,” said Wellhausen, “trying to hold our medical department together right now because of the privatization.”

He said employees are very apprehensive and uncertain about the future as they anticipate being converted over to private medical operations by October. They’ll no longer be state employees. RMC has a lot of tenured staff.

DOC is privatizing all medical staff throughout the state. “It’s just more unique at RMC because of the large medical mission, the large medical staff we have,” Wellhausen said.

Corizon Correctional Healthcare will manage all medical operations in DOC Regions I, II and former Region III.

In spite of concerns voiced by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) about the

Corizon contract, last month the First District Court of Appeals approved DOC’s plans to privatize health care services.

“The court ruled Wednesday that a lower court judge was wrong to block plans for outsourcing in three of Florida’s four prison system regions,” The New York Times reported.

Wexford Health Services already manages DOC’s medical services in the former Region IV, or Southwest Florida.

“The state tried to move ahead with the privatization effort last year, but it was challenged by three unions representing some 2,600 state employees who stand to lose their jobs. A judge in December sided with the union because the privatization plan had been approved by a budget panel instead of the full Legislature,” The New York

Times added.“A [DOC] spokeswoman said

the agency would begin to carry out the privatization effort after the new state budget takes effect on July 1.”

That’s what Wellhausen and his staff inherits at RMC, but he’s up to the task.

“We’re losing a lot of good people and staff to areas other than our medical department right now, because of this,” Wellhausen said. “But I think the best we can do is we’re trying to talk to our staff and keep them as informed as possible during the process.

“The staff has done a really good job of holding things together considering how short we are in the department right now.”

Wellhausen said DOC was mandated to obtain a 7 percent cost savings, along with privatizing medical services as a way to achieve that savings.

As reported in the Bradenton Herald, “Corizon Inc. of Brentwood, Tenn., plans to start work August 1 after Florida won a two-year legal fight with a public employee union that accused the Legislature of illegally seeking to privatize health care in most prisons by steering the decision to a 14-member Legislative Budget Commission.”

The Herald also reported, “Corrections Secretary Mike Crews has sent letters to 1,756 employees, notifying them that Corizon will take over all health care in prisons in north and central Florida.

“‘The position you currently occupy with the Department will no longer be available,’ Crews wrote.

“He added that all displaced workers have a right to job interviews with Corizon and said: ‘It is anticipated that Corizon will ultimately employ a majority of health services employees.’

“Some will earn less money

than before and they will no longer accrue pension benefits with the Florida Retirement System…

“In addition, full-time employees who leave the state payroll are entitled to cash payouts for unused sick leave and vacation time, which the Department of Corrections estimates will cost $6.45 million,” the Herald reported.

The Herald added, “Under terms of its contract, Corizon must offer comprehensive care to Florida’s inmate population for 7 percent less than it cost the state in 2010. Health care costs have increased steadily since then.

“Prison officials hope cost savings will reduce a chronic budget deficit in the nation’s third-largest prison system, with

about 100,000 inmates.”In light of all that, Wellhausen

said “it’s just very difficult for our staff right now.”

However, he has the experience to steer them thanks to his tenure at Columbia CI where a private mental health company took over. “They did work well with us, when I was down there,” said Wellhausen.

Regarding the change at RMC and throughout DOC, he said “there’s going to be advantages and disadvantages either way, and we’re going to have to overcome some of the changes.”

Sidewalks in place around LB City Hall with construction continuing along SE 5th AvenueBY VINCENT ALEX BROWN

Times Editor

Around Lake Butler City Hall, new five-foot-wide sidewalks are finally in place as part of a Florida Dept. of Transportation project.

Construction will continue along SE 5th Avenue, going all the way from S.R. 100 and 121, which goes in front of the Union County Public Library.

DOT says that traffic may be impacted during weekdays, but that no work is allowed between 5 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Total cost of the project is $126,725 for a half-mile’s worth of sidewalks. The work is being done by R.O.T. Ranch Construction Inc. of Lake Butler.

Work began on June 3 and is scheduled for completion by late summer, probably no later than September said Lake Butler City Manager Dave Mecusker.

For more information or updates call Gina Busscher at 1-800-749-2967 or email her at gina.busscher@dot.state.fl.us or visit www.nflroads.com.
