Weather turned out great Saturday for the Inglis Yankeetown Lions Club flea market sale in

front of Food Ranch. Donated items sold to earn funds for the Lions Club projects. A steady

flow of buyers rooted thru the many items available for purchase. Some private citizens set up

tables with the Lions to make a big variety of sale items. As always there was some grilled food

and drinks to meet the need of those who came to shop. Photo by Sally Price

Man Arrested for Capturing an Alligator

Kyle Alan Jordan, 20, Chiefland, was arrested by the Levy County Sheriff's Office on

a Levy County warrant for illegal killing, possessing or capture of an alligator. He was trans-

ported to the Levy County Jail. His bond was set at $1000.

Public Welcome

Within the first six hours, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission

(FWC) sold 4,555 alligator hunt permits, after they went on sale, despite a computer program-

ming glitch. The licensing system, operated by a third party vendor, Outdoor Central in

Jefferson City, Mo., experienced problems handling the high volume of applications and

failed to provide confirmation to customers when they tried to purchase a license and permit.

This resulted in some people being unable to successfully purchase a license and permit and

resulted in confusion and frustration for many applicants.

"This is not the first time we have had issues with this vendor," said Rodney

Barreto, FWC Commission chairman. "This is totally unacceptable, and I am asking agency

staff to look into all options for recourse and remedy, including possible termination of the

vendor's contract and seeking a new vendor. "In addition, I am asking staff to identify
