Administrative Law Judge John G. Van Landingham issued an 85-page opinion stating the Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering was incorrect in granting a pari-mutuel barrel-racing permit to Creek Entertainment in Gretna.
What that will mean to Creek Entertainment, which owns and operates a card room and simulcast betting venue at it Gretna facility, is still uncertain because the parent company plans to appeal the ruling, according to Antonio Jefferson, Gretna city manager.

Southerland supports sheriff’s youth center vision

Sheriff Morris Young went to Washington earlier this year to see if he could get support for the youth center he hopes to open in Quincy and a few other projects that require funding. Last Thursday Washington — in the person of Congressman Steve Southland — came to him.

After a short meeting in his office, Young and Southerland visited the 74,000-square-foot former tomato packing house that sits on 34 acres that he hopes will become a multi-purpose youth center.

Lady Cats finish season

The Munroe softball team played errorless softball to pull off a major upset over district rival Aucilla Christian in 2A Region 1 semifinals. That win earned them a berth in the regional finals against Academy at the Lakes for the second straight season.

Unfortunately, the errors they avoided against Aucilla found them down in Wesley Chapel and doomed them from a repeat trip to the state finals. AATL won 9-3 and only three of their nine runs were earned.
