We're celebrating Florida Arbor Day NEXT Saturday, January 18 with a free southern red maple tree giveaway for SVEC members! 130 trees will be given away at our co-op on a first-come, first served basis, beginning at 9:00 a.m., while supplies last.

This native tree provides beautiful fall colors and is considered a favorite among birds and wildlife for its abundant seed source and winter blooms. Capable of reaching 60-75 feet in height, southern red maple trees must be planted farther than that from overhead power lines.

There is a limit of one tree per membership and proof of membership must be provided, such as a current SVEC bill or SmartHub account.

BREAKING NEWS: NEW SHERIFF FULFILLS PROMISE TO COLD CASE FAMILIES DAY ONE

Hamilton County Sheriff Brian Creech fulfilled a promise to families affected by a cold case in the county upon taking office. On Friday, Sheriff Creech communicated to SVU, Inc. that he has appointed a retired investigator to oversee cold cases for HCSO on a voluntary basis.

The investigator, who has maintained his credentials after a decades long career in Florida law enforcement, is going to be reviewing all of Hamilton County’s cold cases under the jurisdiction of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, and will be utilizing new tools to determine whether the cases will be able to advance using new technology.

Additionally, an audit was suggested to the investigator to determine if there are older cases that are still open from prior decades.

Suwannee Valley Unsolved, Inc. would like to thank Sheriff Creech for his quick proactiveness on cold cases, ensuring that families are not left in the dark.
