Three miles from Williston off a bumpy hilly road, a passage through scrub and pasture leads the unsuspecting traveler to the utopian sanctuary that Dr. Raymond Webber calls home.

More than 400 species of plants thrive on his 100-acre bit of paradise that has been more than 16 years in the making.

“Not many people in Florida have their house built into the side of a cliff,” Webber, an endodonist by trade, explains as he begins his trek through the assorted gardens that he has designed.

Indeed, the vista from this porch is breathtakingly beautiful.

We are the source of all their wealth. They are the corporate elite, the collective proprietors of the company store who have raised themselves, by the sweat of our toil, to a position of unimaginable power and prosperity. They are the plunderers of resources, of lives and of dreams. While only one percent of the population, they have amassed 90 percent of the loot.

The following information is taken from public records provided by the Levy County Sheriff’s Office.

Jose Anival Alva, 26, of Fanning Springs, charged with indecent exposure, disorderly/intoxication. Bail was $5,000.

Kyle Jason Arsenault, 23, of Cedar Key, charged with DUI (driving under the influence). He was released.

William C. Cobb, 63, of Bronson, charged with two counts of domestic battery, No bond.

There are a lot of “ifs” remaining for the Williston Red Devils’ chances to make the playoffs after they fell short Friday night 16-13, to the Mt. Dora Hurricanes.

“If” the Red Devils can go to Newberry Friday night Nov. 6, and defeat the Panthers, (something they have failed to do the last three seasons) and “if” Mt. Dora loses to Trinity Catholic as every other District 4 team has experienced, there will be a three-way tie for the runner-up spot.
