BUSTAMANTE SPEAKS IN CEDAR KEY

BUSTAMANTE SPEAKS
WITH CEDAR KEY RESIDENTS

Judge Luis Bustamante spoke with an audience of approximately twenty individuals at City Hall at 5 pm on July 6, 2026. He is one of two candidates currently vying for the open Levy County Court Judge position. Both Bustamante and his opponent will be on the August 18 Primary Ballot where all Levy County residents may vote.

Hardly a simple audience, which contained multiple lawyers, Bustamante spoke easily, charming the audience with humor and tales of his judge and lawyer experiences. He recounted his growing up in Florida through his law degree at Florida State University in 1993, his years as a prosecutor, and now as the Levy County Court Judge who replaced the late Judge James Browning.

Memorable notes were many. Bustamante said he believes in being “all in.” He explained that “all in” means that he ought not sit behind his desk too much; instead, he needs to be part of the community. To that end, he spends time teaching school children about the law by having the youngsters try the “Case against Goldilocks,” whose crimes included breaking in, etc. Students enjoy, said Bustamante, learning abbot the law and understanding that judges and lawyers are real people whom one day, they might become. Bustamante proudly showed the audience his notebook full of students’ responses to his visits.

OBITUARY: WILLIAM SCHOSSLER

WILLIAM "BILL" ROBERT SCHOSSLER

MMOCEDAR KEY - William "Bill" Robert Schossler, of Cedar Key, Florida, passed away on June 20, 2026, at the age of 79. Born on January 7, 1947, in Jacksonville, Florida, to Norma White Schossler and William Sylvester Schossler, Bill was the eldest of three siblings, alongside his sister Linda and brother Charlie.

Bill spent his childhood enjoying outdoor adventures, including roller skating, backyard camping, and visiting Fort Clinch. Summers on his Uncle Luther White's farm and family gatherings at Big Mama's house were cherished traditions that instilled in him a deep appreciation for family.

A graduate of Bronson High School in 1965, Bill excelled in athletics as a football and basketball player and an all-state track star. He was also active in the Future Farmers of America and served as Senior Class President. From 1966 to 1968, Bill honorably served as a combat Marine in Vietnam during the TET Offensive.

Bill married his high school sweetheart, Evelyn Brock, and later earned a degree in Criminal Justice in 1978. His career began at Lancaster Youth Development Center in Trenton and evolved into leadership roles within the Florida Department of Corrections. As Superintendent of Alyce D. McPherson School in Ocala, he led the school to become the first juvenile justice school in Florida accredited by the Council on Accreditation from the American Correctional Association.

In 1988, Bill founded The Henry & Rilla White Foundation in honor of his maternal grandparents. Under his leadership as CEO, the foundation grew to provide comprehensive services for youth and families across Florida. His legacy continues through the foundation today under the leadership of Robbie Durrance, his nephew.

POLICE DEPARTMENT,
COMMISSIONERS ENGAGE
2026 June 30



On Tuesday, June 30, 2026, at 5 pm in City Hall, the Cedar Key City Commission conducted a workshop. The goal of the workshop was to understand how the City and the Cedar Key Police Department might work more closely together. An audience of approximately twenty persons attended the workshop. All four sitting commissioners were in attendance: Mayor Jim Worttham, Vice Mayor Mel Beckham, Nancy Sera, and Dell Weible. One seat was empty due to the recent resignation of Jolie Davis.

Commissioner Mel Beckham chaired the meeting and articulated the basics: that this gathering was not a complaint session, “no sides” would be drawn, and no decisions would be made.

Immediately clarified by resident Eric Freeman, and agreed upon by commissioners, was the fact that police must respond to state and federal laws governing them and that police are not simply employees of Cedar Key.
