val Sea Cadet Corps Manatee Division (Yankeetown) recruiting drive is on!
Over the last year our group has participated in many outstanding opportunities
that few youth are able to enjoy. The US Coast Guard Auxiliary provided small boat sea-
manship training. Our unit toured the USS Robert G. Bradley, a guided missile fast frigate
at Naval Station Mayport and we stayed on base for the weekend. Cadets participated in
naval swim qualifications. Multiple divisions joined up at Wekiwa Springs for a mini field
exercise where Navy SEALs provided instruction. On other weekends at our home station,
US Coast Guard personnel provided training on radio communications and law enforcement
and were able to take the group out on their search and rescue vessels.
The Sea Cadet Corps is a youth organization for Americans 11-17 years old who
are interested in the maritime services. Cadets in the program are allowed to wear Navy
uniforms and gain rank as they train and learn new skills. They earn ribbons for outstanding
performance in trainings, marksmanship, good grades and community service among oth-
ers.
Once a sea cadet goes through two weeks of recruit training and completes their
Basic Military Requirements course work they are eligible for a variety of advanced train-
ings. Topics can be as low key as culinary arts or as intense as Special Warfare Combatant-

Three indicted in Jamie Seeger murder case
The grand jury in the Citrus County Circuit Court of the Fifth Judicial Circuit con-
vened on Dec. 27 to hear testimony in the Jamie Seeger murder case.
Indictments for murder in the first degree were handed down on Marrio D. Wil-
liams, 27, Lawrence Vickers, 27, and Curtis Wilson, 45.
Seegers, 27, was found murdered by gunshot in Crystal River in the early morning
hours of July 25, 2012. Her body was found in a gray Chrysler that was in the middle of the
road at W. Cyrus Street and N. Reynolds Avenue. No further information was released, as
grand jury proceedings are exempt from public disclosure.
House Fires - Continued from page 1
Crews from several other stations arrived and the fire was completely knocked
down at about 2:40pm. Due to the lack of hydrants in the area a water shuttle was used to
provide water supply for extinguishment the closest water supply was at HWY 491 and
Grover Cleveland.
The structure was vacant and not occupied at the time of the blaze. The Florida
State Fire Marshal s responded to determine the cause of the fire, at the time of this report it
was undetermined and under investigation.
Riders meeting on Thursday January 3, at 6pm.
