County officials are reviewing plans for a new Dunkin' Donuts just west of the city limits, near the intersection of State Road 44 and Stone Way. Members of the county's Planning and Development Review Board unanimously approved vacation of a utility easement required for the project Thursday. "It's so nice to know what's going to be there," board member Dwight Hooper said. Other board members were even more enthusiastic in their support. "When are the doughnuts going to be ready?" board member Miles Blodgett asked. A representative of the project said he did not have a detailed construction time frame yet. Plans were also recently submitted for a Dunkin' Donuts in Crystal River.

Circuit judge finalists up to six

At the governor's request, the Judicial Nominating Commission has identified two more finalists to fill a vacant circuit judgeship. Last month, the commission interviewed the 17 candidates and then recommended Inverness prosecutor Bill Catto, Heidi Davis, Robert McLean and Craig Turner as finalists. On Thursday, the commission added two more: Susan Roux Keith and Jonathan Ohlman. Gov. Charlie Crist will select the new judge, who will sit in Marion County. The judge's jurisdiction also will include the 5th Judicial Circuit's other counties: Citrus, Hernando, Lake and Sumter. The new judge takes over for Steve Spivey, who resigned late last year.
