Groveland veterans motorcycle club gives back to house fire victim
Cindy Peterson
GROVELAND The NAM Knights Green Swamp motorcycle club has a mission to help veterans and law enforcement in their time of need.
So when the Groveland-based chapter got word that veteran and former officer Mike Whitaker’s house caught fire, they were ready to step in and help. The NAM Knights agreed to pay what insurance would not cover, which amounted to $500.
“Mike’s nephew is in our club up in New York and honestly, we were happy to help out a Vietnam veteran and former law enforcement officer,” President Tony “Ruff” Rufrano said. “It’s what we do.”

EUSTIS It’s been almost three months since Eustis Police Chief Craig Capri was sworn in.
When he started, Capri said one of his goals was to create a stronger connection between the department and the community with transparency and engagement events.
His latest endeavor was Coffee with a Cop, a national program that gets the police force out to a local coffee shop or breakfast spot to meet with citizens and chat about their hopes, dreams and even the weather.
Capri and a group of at least a dozen officers met on Friday morning at Jeannie’s Place in Eustis, where community members stopped by to meet men and women in blue.
