The Williston Police Dept. has announced the following arrests:

Ed Clifton Hill, 44, of Northeast 40th Street, Williston, was accused of trespassing and retail theft after he allegedly took three steaks valued at $26.77 from the Hitchcock’s store.

He had been given a trespass warning in the past.

Juan Francisco, 32, of Southeast 5th Terrace, Williston, was charged with misuse of 911 after he called several times and said someone was there to hurt him. No one was found, and, according to the report, he was intoxicated.

Here at Joyce Bullock Elementary we strongly believe that learning begins at home and view our role in education as complementary to the educational experiences children have at home. In order to integrate the home/school experience we have designed Family Fun Nights three times per year. These nights are designed to keep parents in the loop of what students are learning here at school.

LAKE BUTLER -- It was the most exciting fourth quarter of basketball I have watched any Williston Lady Red Devil basketball team play in five seasons. This game had everything any Red Devil fan could have asked for and more.

Union County (21-4) escaped with the win 51-50 and ended the Red Devils season simply because they made free throws and the Red Devils came up short at the foul line, especially in the fourth quarter where they hit just 4-of-13 free throws.

CHIEFLAND -- Williston boys’ basketball beat P.K. Yonge 74-67 in overtime to capture their second consecutive district championship. As in the game the night before against Chiefland, a balanced attack helped the Red Devils overcome a game-long assault by Blue Wave leaders Josh Snodgrass and Autis Gibson. Ultimately, the Wave had no answer to huge play by Williston’s sophomore big man James Hunt, who simply dominated the paint.
