It’s the Nelson & Company water tower, located in Oviedo and nestled in the historic district.

This tower sits near the packinghouse facilities. Brothers Gus and Steen Nelson came to Oviedo in 1875, natives of Sweden. They were instrumental to the birth of the citrus agricultural industry in the area and their crates were adorned with “Pride of Oviedo” labels.

The district has a rich history, from hard winters ruining crops to new technological advances in the citrus packing industry.

A Florida sheriff’s deputy was released from the hospital on Monday, a month after he was shot in an “ambush” attack that killed one deputy and left him and another deputy wounded, according to reports. 

Deputy First Class Stefano Gargano, 28, and Master Deputy Sheriff Harold Howell, 41, were both shot when they attempted to rescue Master Deputy Bradley Michael Link after he was shot and became trapped inside a home in Eustis, Florida, while the deputies were responding to a welfare check request.

“They were ambushed,” Lake County Sheriff Peyton C. Grinnell said at the time. “We lost one tonight.”

Link later died of his injuries at a hospital. Gargano, who was shot in the stomach and armpit “numerous” times, was in critical condition after the shooting and immediately underwent surgery.

Howell was shot in the shoulder and was released early last month. 

Gargano underwent at least five surgeries in the last month and is expected to make a full recovery, FOX 35 reported. 

Gargano is now at home with his family recovering, according to the station. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Lake County Sheriff’s Department. 

Julie Sulpizio, 48, has been charged with first-degree murder, premeditated murder of a law enforcement officer, seven counts of attempted murder, felony battery/strangulation, two counts of battery and battery on a law enforcement officer in the shooting. 

She could be eligible for the death penalty if she’s found guilty.

The deputies found the back door kicked in and heard a disturbance inside the home after seeing two dead dogs outside. When they entered the home, deputies were met with gunfire by Sulpizio’s husband, Michael, who was waiting inside with a rifle and wearing body armor. Link was shot and became trapped inside the home and later succumbed to his injuries.

Grinnell explained that a caller said a woman, later identified as Sulpizio, was attacking people and trespassing on their property. Sulpizio allegedly hit residents and made religious comments, accusing them of being sinners.

In a later interview with investigators, Sulpizio said she was attempting to lure these neighbors to her home, so her husband could kill them, Grinnell said.

“She was not successful because of our deputies,” he said.

Sulpizio and Michael’s two daughters, Savannah and Cheyenne, were also inside the home, and one was heard shouting, “My King will kill all of you! You are Lucifer’s children!”

Link’s body camera footage showed that Michael and his daughters discussed suicide before they were all found dead with gunshot wounds to their heads, the sheriff said.

The sheriff said deputies during a search of the home found a stockpile of guns, ammunition and bottled water, but no phones or televisions. The sheriff said “anti-government propaganda” and material from conspiracy theory-related media was also discovered.

The Boston College Eagles football team officially kicks off its season on Labor Day Night with a game against the No. 10 Florida State Seminoles at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Fla.

According to the ESPN Matchup Predictor, Florida State has an 82.4-percent chance to come out of the game with a victory, while Boston College has a 17.6-percent chance.

Below are the game predictions from the Boston College Eagles On SI staff.

Score Prediction: Florida State 28, Boston College 24.

Bonus Prediction: QB Thomas Castellanos tallies at least 300 yards.

Boston College is going to come out aggressive and compete until the clock hits 0:00, but Doak Campbell is one of the hardest stadiums to play in for a reason. Plus, the Seminoles have already played a game this year and have had the opportunity to fix what needs to be improved prior to the game. I believe the Eagles will be improved from 2023 and make it close, but Florida State will pull it out.

Score Prediction: Florida State 32, Boston College 24

Bonus Prediction: Jayden McGowan scores a touchdown of 20 yards or more.

FSU losing to Georgia Tech was really shocking, but there are enough reasons to think it was a fluke. New quarterback. The game was in a different country. So, I’m sure the Seminoles will come into tonight’s game motivated to prove they’re still one of the best teams in the country. But Boston College is better than many people think and with a group of experienced players that’s becoming rare in college football, an upset isn’t as crazy as it sounds. Thomas Castellanos will be the biggest key for the Eagles. If he’s running and throwing the ball successfully, the Eagles win. I think Castellanos will play well, but it won’t be enough to overcome a FSU team playing angry.

Score Prediction: 28-20 FSU

Bonus Prediction: The Eagles have a lead going into halftime.

Both teams come into this game with a completely different mindset. The Eagles are opening up the Bill O’Brien era while the Seminoles look to get back on track after an upset loss to Georgia Tech in Ireland.

Boston College is coming off a 7-6 season a year ago, the program’s first winning season since 2020. O’Brien also brings a wealth of coaching experience, and his offensive game plan is simple.

Georgia Tech torched FSU in the run game, and BC starting quarterback Thomas Castellanos rushed for nearly 1,000 yards last year. Florida State was exposed in week zero, and O’Brien will likely try to exploit that.

Boston College may not win that game, but they will cover the spread and put a scare into Florida State.
