BOX 117007 GAINESVILLE, FL 32611 Refinery Suit Continues See Page 13 Board May Help WILD See Page 20 Artz Files Lawsuit See Page 3 Bayside Marina Will Be Improved Prime Coastal Development and Jason Naumann of the Nau- riann Group have conceptual plans to replace the old Bayside Marina dry storage facility in Ochlockonee Bay with upscale townhouses. However, the marina facility will continue to be open to the public and serve area boaters, according to Naumann. A story in the Jan. 20 issue of The Wakulla News reported other- wise. The marina plan is one of two projects the Naumann Group is proposing for the Ochlockonee Bay community. Two intercon- nected, two story buildings, lo- cated on the west side of U.S. Highway 98 just north of the Surf Road intersection, will serve as office space. In addition to the 10 town- houses at the marina site, which will be between 1,700 square feet and 2,000 square feet in size, new gasoline tanks and pumps have been added and seawalls are'be- ing replaced. The 35 wet slips are available for lease. A 1,600 square foot ship's store is also proposed for the community. Man Dies In One Vehicle Accident A 20-year-old Crawfordville man was killed in a one vehicle accident on Bob Miller Road in northeastern Wakulla County on Sunday, Jan. 23, according to offi- cials with the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP). Randy L. Schneider died as a result of the 9:43 p.m. accident. A passenger in the vehicle, Ryan Schneider, 14, of Crawfordville, suffered minor injuries and was treated at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. Randy Schneider was driving his 2003 Chevrolet pickup truck westbound on Bob Miller Road when he lost control of the ve- hicle and left the paved portion of the road on the south side, FHP officials said.

Club member Ray Boles was granted an approval by the Wakulla County Commission Tuesday, Jan. 18 to close off a portion of U.S. Highway 319 from Wakulla Arran Road to High Drive. Commissioners expressed con- cern over closing such a large portion of U.S. Highway 319 in the Crawfordville area but did not take any action to amend the parade route. Boles said the clos- ing will be in effect for about an hour. He added that if law en- forcement officials require the Rotary Club to shorten the route, it will be done.

Senior Citizens Council Direc- tor R.H. Carter requested the waiver of county fees recently and Wakulla County Attorney Ron Mowrey researched the possibil- ity of the county waiving impact fees. Attorney Mowrey said the county does not have a legal pro- vision for waiving impact fees but could waive building department fees or sewer access fees. Commissioner Henry Vause made a motion to waive $30,000 worth of fees with $15,000 com- ing from sewer access charges and $15,000 coming from build- ing fees. Vause's motion was ap- proved by a 4-1 margin with Com- missioner Howard Kessler voting in the minority. Kessler said he was concerned about the county commission discussing the matter at a work- shop prior to the Jan. 18 meet- ing.

A Pittsburgh area author was in Crawfordville last week doing research on Col, William H. Council and his connection to a military airfield that is now Pitts- burgh International Airport. Council's father set a jet fighter speed record in 1946 as he flew his P-80 Shooting Star from California to New York in four hours at a speed of 584 miles per hour; Councill will become part of a new book being written by fellow military veteran Quen- tin Hartwig. Hartwig and his wife, Kathleen, visited Fran Councill while doing research in Panama City Beach. Hartwig and Councill will sub- mit the nomination papers to get her father enshrined in the Hall of Fame. "Pittsburgh International Air- port started out as an Army base in World War II," said Hartwig. "Very little is known about it. Pittsburgh served as a base where planes could refuel on their way across the nation." In doing research on Col. Council, Hartwig located Fran in Crawfordville and asked her if he could spend some time inter- viewing her and looking over old newspaper clippings. Council said she was sur- prised to hear from Hartwig but "it was one of the: most exciting phone calls of my life," she added. At a time of change for Council, who has finished more than 31 years of service with Tal- lahassee Memorial Hospital and began working for Wakulla Coun- ty Monday, Jan. 24, she is happy to talk about her father and mother. "I come from incredible par- ents," she said. In addition to her high ranking military father, her mother, Lillie Louise Councill, helped saved her parents' Louisi- ana farm from foreclosure in her youth by using sponsorship money raised for the Miss Loui- siana beauty pageant, said Fran.

Teachers of the Year include Jones, Kimberly Bartnick, Deana Scherbarth, Terry Price, Savannah Boege, Melisa Taylor, and Joyce Ashburn. Jones graduated from Florida State University with a degree in Elementary Education and cur- rently is one class short of her Master's degree in Exceptional Student Education. She has been teaching first, second, third and fourth grades over the past 16 years. Active in her profession, Jones is a member of the National Council for the Teachers of Math- ematics, the Florida Humanities Council, and the Florida Council for Social Studies. She also is a National Board Certified teacher, meaning she has successfully met the challenges of a tough national program. In 2003, she was awarded a Fellowship from National Geo- graphic, when she spent two weeks assisting scientists in a remote region of Brazil. She took her lessons in data collection back to her students and now, when her students hear, "suit up," they don their knee-high rubber boots and bug repellent, grab their science journals, and head to the Outdoor Classroom of a wooded acre that planners left when the school was built.

Page 2-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Jan. 27, 2005 Comment and Opinion Established In Wakulla County In 1895 Investigate U.S. 319 And Hwy. 61 Clearing Editor, The News: SRepresentative Will Kendrick ts to be congratulated for asking the Florida Department of Trans- portation to account for its out- rageous behavior in clear cutting 4nd destroying the 30 acres of tongleaf pine and wiregrass habi- tat that surrounds the junction of U.S. Hwy. 319 and State Road 61. A full scale investigation is needed. - The fiasco began when I re- ceived an anonymous telephone call from a state worker, telling me that "out of nowhere" the original plans to preserve the forest were suddenly being over- turned by an official at DOT. I ieled the U.S. Forest Service, and iey said they knew nothing about it. -:,'Two days later loggers moved at- In one day, all the towering longleaf pines lay scattered like inatch sticks on the ground. Next, the log trucks hauled them away, and bulldozers moved in with toot rakes, tearing out the frag- ile wiregrass, ripping up stumps and leveling the earth. SI called DOT and minced no Words telling them what a rep- Letters rehensible act their environmen- tal devastation was, what an ugly mess they had made, and how beautiful the area was before they raped it. I got a lot of finger pointing and people saying, "It wasn't me, I just follow orders,,." One of the chief engineers in Pensacola who designed the project informed me "the na- tional forest planned to cut all the trees there in two years," that "all the gopher tortoises were re- located before construction," that Dr. Bruce Means, who studied the salamanders there, "had no objections to the project," and "Leon County made us do it." A pack of lies! Immediately after the Talla- hassee Democrat broke the story, dozens of workers were brought in to madly plant wiregrass and longleaf pine seedlings. It was done with blinding speed, prac- tically unheard of in normal high- way construction, which reeks of cover-up and damage control. Even if one could care less about endangered habitat and wildlife, there's the issue of tax- payers' dollars, $136,800 of them, that DOT paid the National For- est for the trees. Those logs had value, so were they just given to the contractor, C.S. Roberts? Is there a record of the public being reimbursed for the trees when they were hauled out? And what about the costs of replant- ing the wiregrass and longleaf pines; who's paying for that? A number of people have asked DOT for a copy of the contract with C.S. Roberts and have yet to receive it. Several professional foresters also told me they couldn't believe what they were seeing when they drove by the Hwy. 319 intersec- tion. Bulldozing and grading made no sense whatsoever if one were simply going to re-grow trees; it only made sense if some- one was going to be building something. Suddenly, it all seemed clear. Wantonly destroying the habitat, and spending all that money with bulldozers just to tick off bird watchers and tree huggers, makes zero economic sense, but developing prime real estate in a prime location between two high- way intersections-why that's an- other matter. Is a new Wal-Mart in the cards? Why did DOT need 30 acres of land when only three were required for the right-of-way, and why did the National Forest agree to sell it to them anyway? Is the U.S. Forest Service not charged with protecting the nation's trees and does it not have law enforcement capabili- ties? Why didn't they rush in,and stop the loggers if land manage- ment issues over leaving trees were still in dispute? The environment has been ruined, taxpayers' money has been squandered, I smell a rat and I want an investigation now. Jack Rudloe Panacea What's Needed Is A Skate Park For The Kids Editor, The News: With our community expand- ing at an accelerated rate, not just in business but in residential ar- eas, I ponder the thought, what more can we do to possibly add to the accommodations of our growing community. Is there a reason for expanding, too, in the areas of morale, welfare, and rec- reation? We have many places at which to worship. We also have a grow- ing number of places at which to shop and, yes, even to eat. There are quite a number of health facilities, law offices, auto maintenance, and so on and so forth. If ever we get tired of our simple diversions, there's always Tallahassee-a car ride many of us would rather not undertake, especially with a carload of bored children! Within the Crawfordville area we have only one area for our children to really go to-the rec park but why can't we have one within the town central, if not at least near it? A playground perhaps and, yes, even a skate park. We need a place for our children who have little desire for athletics of a certain kind, a place where they can freely go to skateboard without being a nuisance to business establish- ments. The only reason they hang out in our parking lots is because they really and truly have no- where else to skate. I'd much rather have my child skateboard at a designated area just for them rather than hang out in the Winn-Dixie parking lot or wher- ever else there is. We need a designated place for kids like mine who thorough- ly enjoy the sport of skateboard- ing-a place where they are off the streets, and not doing drugs, or getting into some kind of mis- chief. Also, not every kid you see riding a skateboard looks to be trouble. A lot of them are good kids, kids with a style of their own, doing something they thor- oughly enjoy. I also realize that having a place for these kids to go would take a lot of responsibility, rules and regulations, and so forth, but I think it's a worthy cause. Don't you? Ronda R.

Lesh nacea Editor, The News: The story in The Wakulla News edition of Jan. 20 concerning the unacceptability of a certain "vi- sioning (whatever that is) sur- vey" done by TCC is intriguing. The story states that one of the reasons why the survey results were unacceptable is because the citizens answering the survey were not required to reveal their "race." I thought segregation had been outlawed many years ago. We have spent billions of dollars and untold zillions of man-hours making everybody equal. Why, then, would it make any differ- ence what race the person an- swering the survey belonged to? Are you now saying that people of different races are different and that that difference would influence the way they answer a question? This whole visioning thing is a real puzzle. After all these meet- ings and surveys are completed, is the Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners going to pay any attention to it? If not, the whole thing is an exercise in fu- tility. Is this visioning process going to stop Wakulla County from soon having four banks, a CVS Pharmacy, a Walgreens, a Winn- Dixie and a Wal-Mart, all selling the exact same thing (to wit: drugs, food, alcoholic beverages and toys), and a similar situation in the hardware and auto parts business? I went to one of these vision- ing meetings and every person in the room, except one, Pam Portwood, was against Wal-Mart coming here, but here it comes! What a bunch of HOOEY!

Bud Clark of Clark Redevelop- ment Associates, Inc. presented the proposal which was before the county commission for a sec- ond public hearing. Board mem- bers passed two resolutions stat- ing their support for the Franklin project which will include resi- dential homes and commercial development along U.S. Highway 319 near Sopchoppy. Franklin is seeking $750,000 in CDBG Economic Development funding as well as $750,000 for a CDBG Neighborhood Revitaliza- tion project. The Buckhorn Office and Com- mercial Center will include shops, offices and a restaurant on five acres. The development will be required to produce 22 new jobs. The economic development funding will pay for a sewer main and its components from the county, sewer plant to the devel- opment. In addition, infrastruc- ture costs within the office and commercial center will be paid for through the grant. Buckhorn Village will become a new subdivision for first-time home buyers. The 29 acre site will include 107 single family homes. A coin laundry, day care and 72 seat restaurant will be located near the subdivision. The funds for the project will be available in the fall and con- struction will begin in late 2005 and be completed no later than 2007. Preliminary estimates of the total cost of the new community exceed $20 million which will be provided by the developers, Buckhorn First, Inc. Bud Clark said Sopchoppy of- Suit Contends Artz Qualified For Exemption Lynn Artz filed a lawsuit this week claiming she is enirled to a homestead exemption for her Wakiilla County home, separate from her husband's homestead exemption for property in Ala- bama. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday, Jan. 25, claims there is an exemption under state -law for a married couple to establish separate per- manent residences without los- ing their qualification for home- stead exemption. Artz, a former candidate for county commission who nar- rowly lost the primary election by a handful of votes, was ar- rested and charged with fraud for claiming homestead exemptions in two states. That misdemeanor criminal case is still pending. "Starting in 2003, and at all times since, (Artz) and her hus- band have in fact maintained separate permanent residences and constituted separate family units, even though they remain congenially married to each other," Artz's complaint states. The lawsuit asks the court to determine that she is entitled to the homestead exemption and cancel portions of her past tax bill in excess of what is owed.

Under CDBG rules, Wakulla County can apply for additional economic development grants during the time Buckhorn Village is under construction but the county cannot apply for another neighborhood revitalization grant until the Buckhorn project is closed out, Homeowners are eligible for subsidized mortgage assistance through the Florida Housing Fi- nance Corporation, said Franklin. He estimated the value of the new homes at $150,000 each. Franklin continued that his marketing plan will address fit- ting new homeowners into the financial criteria required for the development as 51 percent of the homes must be purchased by low to moderate income individuals. Clark said the deadline to ap- ply for the funding is April 1 and the federal funding, administered through the Florida Department of Community Affairs, is competi- tive. Included in the neighborhood revitalization project will be fund- ing for streets, drainage, lighting and underground utilities. In ad- dition, the grant funding provides money for administration and engineering for the project. The were no objections to the plans from the public.

THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Jan. 27, 2005-Page 5' C community The Woman's Club of Craw- fordville is preparing for a rebirth of its membership. In an effort to bring the women of Wakulla County together again, members have planned a refurbish and re- birth campaign. If you have ever been to an event at the Woman's Club of Crawfordville (wedding, reception, Christmas party, sock hop, meeting, family reunion, Women's Expo, etc., or have ben- efited from a scholarship), club members are asking for your help in refurbishing their delivery room. The members will be hosting a cleanup day on Feb. 19 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. The Woman's Club has needed a new roof for some time and has been forced to discontinue renting the build- ing. This is their main source of income to provide services to the community.

Vause Recognized For Rec Work Veteran Wakulla County Rec- reation Board member Philip Vause was recognized for his 19 years of continuous service on the board at the Wakulla County Commission meeting Tuesday, Jan. 18. Vause was given a plaque by Wakulla County Administrator Parrish Barwick and several mem- bers of the recreation board at- tended the meeting in support of Vause. Commissioners and indi- viduals attending the meeting gave Vause a round of applause for his efforts. For many of the years Vause has served as president of the board which sets policy for county youth sports under the leadership of Wakulla Parks and Recreation Director Ray Gray. Barwick said Vause had been the "anchor of the board for years" and has promoted youth sports through his "selfless ser- vice." Vause is a former Florida Highway Patrol trooper who has promoted sports from the time the Medart recreation complex had only three fields. "Without a wonderful board behind you backing you up, you can't do it," said Vause of fund- ing and support for park and pro- gram expansion by the county commission over the years. "In 19 years I have worked with 22 county commissioners and there has never been a time I didn't enjoy it," he said. During Vause's time on the recreation board the programs have grown from serving between 300 to 400 children to 3,500 now. "I know we're going to need to ask you shortly for some help with the facilities," Vause added. "I'm old but I'm not quitting. It is easier to recreate our children this way than by the sheriff's way and this is cheaper. It's been a privi- lege."

The 2005 Relay For Life Steer- ing Committee, chaired by Alice Stokley, has been hard at work since last May to achieve the Pacesetter Award. Dedicated vol- unteers have surpassed the Pace- setter requirements and made plans for the future Relays in Wakulla County through devel- opment of volunteer succession plans. Seventeen teams have been recruited, including three teams new to Relay.

The article pointed out several incidences where one might jump to the conclusion that this "Mom" person is ex- ceedingly careful about spending money. Sgt. William S. Tully Sgt. William Tully Finds A Guardian Angel In Kuwait SU.S. Army Sgt. William S. "Billy" Tully of Crawfordville will be leaving for Iraq again on Feb. 5. In April 2003, he was deployed to the Middle East with the 603rd Transportation Company, sta- tioned at Fort Polk, LA. I The unit stopped in Kuwait to pick up vehicles and finish prepa- ration work when Sgt. Tully found a coin in the sand while working on a trailer. I "As I reached down and picked it: up I noticed an angel on the coin," said Tully. "I said to my- self, 'well that's pretty neat,' but as I turned the coin over a chill ran down my spine. The quota- tion on the back of the coin read, 'A Guardian Angel For William.'" Tully estimated that the near- est development was more than 25 miles away. Tully's vehicle was hit and damaged while being part of a convoy but none of the sol- diers on the vehicle were injured. The coin has remained in his wallet as a guardian angel ever since. During his first tour of duty he joined the 142nd Corps Sup- port Battalion. At that time he had the opportunity to visit with his cousin, Tully Sparkman, in Baghdad. Tully said he hopes to return safely to his wife, Betsy, and four children, Ciara, Dalton, Laurin and Ashlyn. Billy is the son of Billy and Della Tully of Crawfordville and the grandson of Bill and Virginia Williams of Bonifay.

She has recently been listening to John Paul Water's song which goes: "Use it up, wear it out, make it last or do without!" John Paul would, indeed, be quite proud of her, she reasons, because she "makes it last" to the nth degree. And, of course, John Paul is from down here so, if he encourages it, then that trait has nothing to do with New England thriftiness, Indeed, should you visit her, you would do well to remember "make it last" is a way of life- especially when it comes to ap- pliances. "Does this thing work?" I ask one morning while stuffing a bagel into the toaster. Son #1 looks up in surprise. "Yes, you do have to ask." I hiss at him. "Of course it does!" she replies from the next room. So, the bagel goes down and it stays down. In a few moments, smoke billows out. I run over and push the lever up. "Mom, I thought you said it works!" I accuse. Son #1 is grin- ning. "It certainly does," she replies huffily. "Bread toasts quite well. If I'd known you were going to put in a big thick bagel, though, I'd have reminded you to push it up yourself" Dance Party Set A dance party will be held at the Tallahassee Senior Citizens Center on Friday, Jan. 28 from 7:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. Latin, swing, tango, waltz and many other dances will be featured.

Then we place them in the washer. I'm.looking into the suds. What's wrong with this picture? "Mom, wouldn't you prefer a dishwasher that works?" I ask. "It works perfectly fine," she reasons. "Of course, for only one person. I usually just wash my dishes myself. It's not used to being overstuffed!" (She's sound- ing a little touchy.) Son #1 is grinning at me be- cause Mom is in the other room. "Where's the switch for the garbage disposal?" he calls to her. "Oh, dearly" she comes charg- ing in from the other room. "You didn't put anything large in it, did you? Like salad or peas?" she peers into the dark hole and groans. "We use the garbage can."

JODY CAMPBELL We had the coldest weather of the season on Monday and there's no telling what it's gonna ,do to the inshore fishing. With :a warming trend toward the end of the week, fishing could be fair. Some folks went fishing on Sat- urday but Sunday was so windy and the tide was so low I think everyone stayed at home. Be- cause of the full moon coming Iup and the strong north winds, we had probably the lowest tide I have ever seen. The only report I heard of was from Buck Grist of Blakely, GA who has a condo over on the Ochlockonee River. He fished ':Oyster Bay and Spring Creek ,with grubs tipped with shrimp :,and did fairly well on both Fri- iday and Saturday. He caught a Wakudb SBy GEORGE L WEYMOUTH "Yucky poo, it's doggie dol" From pelican poo on our docks to cow pies in our pastures, we've all experienced that squishy feeling ,between our toes or a mess on our carpet. Horses in parades leave ;'their "calling cards" only to be followed up by clowns dressed as Official "Super Duper Pooper Scoopers." One time I was banding the tiny Least Terns on a new causeway Island off southwest Florida's coast. They constantly dove at me to :drive me away from their nest sites, and at the same time cut loose :at me with you know what As I walked along doing my research, I :came up with a poem: "Birdie, birdie'in the sky, why did you drop 'that' in my eye? Couldn't you have aimed some other place than at my face?" Many of us have spent countless hours walking our dogs, worry- ing with cat litter, or shoveling "it" out of barns and spreading it as manure. At Sanibel Island's recreation center they had to stretch monofilament all over their olympic pool to discourage gulls from landing around the pool's edge and messing it up. We've all seen spikes driven into pilings, etc. to discourage gulls, pelicans and cor- morants from whitewashing these structures. Yes, and just about all of us at sometime in our lives have at least once changed a diaper. But compost (manure) we use in our gardens and flower beds. And, for centuries the guano, or bird excrement-in dry climates, like along the coast of Peru-has accumulated instead of being washed away from roosting islands and resulted in ia guano indus- try with an annual income in the millions! And there now are those in our country also making millions selling worm droppings So. it ain't all bad. Fact is, we hunters/gatherers have for thousands of years used animal waste for many things. For instance, our forefathers used buffalo chips to build small fires for warmth and cooking and even used them for simple shelters. The first Americans (or Indians) taught our mountain men and pilgrims many tricks in woods lore related to animal droppings, such as how to tell a pile of rabbit droppings from a young deer's and what they might be feeding on, etc. Our gobbler turkeys leave a distinctive J shaped dropping com- pared to the hens. In our spring turkey season, knowing this fact lan be critical when only the gobblers are legal to hunt. Trappers learn to look for logs along waterways where otters walk up out of the water and leave their musky mark-sort of a communal latrine, a place where the otters "sign in and out," and keep check on each other. Many biologists now don't even trap the animals they're study- ing, such as wolves. They can tell what the wolves have been eating by identifying the bones (such as teeth) of the wolves' prey and tell which wolf it was by D.N.A. in the scat. In certain places in the Aucilla River, such as the Page/Ladson site where the National Geographic Society did an underwater ar- ,'cheological dig, the paleontologists discovered elephant digesta left from the Pleistocene era 10,000 years ago or longer. They identified 'many of our local plants the elephants had been eating-would you believel I learned something while bowhunting in North Georgia's moun- tains where the introduced Russian Boar and Black Bear both exist. ,We were told-and found it to be very true-that, when finding a 'large "pile" in the woods, if it was bear it would be nearly scentless, !or lack smell, but hog poop, when prodded with a stick, would iimmediately issue a strong swine yard smell. Now isn't that fasci- Inating??ll Cherokee Sink Access To Be Closed After Dark SWakulla Springs State Park of- ficials have begun to close the *entrance to Cherokee Sink at sun- iset each evening. The entrance !gate is located on Highway 61 approximately one mile south of the intersection with Highway :267. Normal operating hours for "*all Florida state parks is 8 a.m. until sunset. Prior to the summer season park officials will be. implement- ing an honor system entrance fee 'where visitors will be required to 'pay an admission fee. One admis- :sion fee will cover entry to both Wakulla Springs and the Chero- 'kee Sink unit. The Cherokee Sink property ,was acquired by the state park System in December 1999 to pro- ,tect the groundwater around Wakulla Springs. Cave divers con- ducting scientific exploration in the extensive cave system have 'napped part of the system that flows directly under Cherokee $ink. The flow from these under- ground rivers over time eroded !away the limestone causing the *70 foot deep sink to form. A long history of uncontrolled use and access created extensive erosion areas around the sink and large amounts of sand and trash washed into the basin, forming a plug at the bottom of the sink, Since the state acquisition, the park service and volunteers have cleaned up and restored the area surrounding the sink. Vehicular traffic is now restricted to the established parking area. Erosion barriers, fill dirt and native plantings now cover many of the erosion scars. Newly installed wooden board- walks now create a safe and envi- ronmentally friendly access down the slope to the water. An obser- vation deck and diving platform with a ladder was also con- structed. To provide additional resource protection and to protect the site of the nearby Causseaux Family Cemetery, access to the sink by way of Wakulla Arran Road was closed in 2004. The only desig- nated access is through the park entrance gate on Highway 61. few trout and reds using a char- treuse and motor oil colored grub. He said the fish were in the shallow water along the grass line and on top of the oyster bars. The sun was out and that was the warmest water he could find. Capt.

They said the water down there was absolutely beautiful and the best part of the trip was diving and seeing all the fish on the reef. He said they also saw two humpback whales. Jerry Wells of Shell Point re- cently took a trip to Oregon In- let on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. He fished with his wife, Dede, Sonny McCay and his 13- year-old son, Houston, Eric Mitch- ell, Matthew Mitchell, 9, and Ja- cob Mitchell, 7. Jerry said when they headed out that morning the wind was blowing from 15 to 20 knots-and when they re- turned in the afternoon it was blowing 20 to 25 but, fortunately, was at their backs. They went out about 35 miles and were fishing in about 600 feet of water. They trolled 11 lines at one time and never had a line get tangled. When they headed to the dock they had 25 yellowfin tuna weighing about 380 pounds total. Dede caught the biggest fish which weighed about 69 pounds. Jerry said ev- eryone caught at least one fish and when they got back to the dock they were a bunch of tired fishermen. I was talking to Skip Young at a D.U. function the other night and he was telling me he pur- chased a kayak and has been fishing out of it a lot around Wakulla Beach. He said he can get into spots with very little water and on low tides go places most folks can't. One day last fall Wildfires Pose Threat The recent hard freezes, cold temperatures and low humidity '"havi rated a fire hazard in' tid around around Wakulla C6tiity 'and volunteer firefighters have responded to several blazes. Wakulla County Emergency Management Director Joe Blanch- ard of the Wakulla County Sher- iff's Office reminds residents to be careful with.outdoor burning. A small fire used for warmth at a home construction site recently spread to neighboring property. Blanchard said the county drought index is not as low as it has been recently but the hard freezes have made vegetation more susceptible to burning and wildfires more of a threat. Park Will Host Winter Walk Wakulla Springs State Park will host a winter woods and wildlife walk Saturday, Feb. 5 from 10 a.m. until noon. The event is free with regular park admission. Visitors are invited to join springs staff members for a walk in the woodlands to see what wildlife is up and about on a Feb- ruary morning.

He first thought it was a big red but it turned out to be a real big sheepshead. A lot of serious fishermen are starting to use kayaks because they're a relatively inexpensive boat that can be loaded on the top of even the smallest of cars and can be launched almost any- where. I can remember when we lived in Orlando for a while there were articles in the sports page about this guy who would shark fish out of a kayak. He was fishing off Cocoa Beach and would row out several hundred feet with his bait and drop it in the water. He would then row back to shore and wait for the bite. When he hooked a small shark, he would hop back in the kayak and fight them from there. Sounds like a good way to get hurt to me. Hopefully, the weather is go- ing to be dry the rest of the win- ter, it won't get too cold and we can expect to see trout move back on the flats in early March. A bait that has become real popular over the last couple of years is the Saltwater Assassin twitch bait. You can fish them in two inches of water like a topwater bait and they are very effective. They come in an assortment of sizes and you use a freshwater worm hook with them. Early in the year the trout are gonna be in the real shallow water because that's gonna warm up the fast- est, and that's where these baits are very effective. Remember that trout season closes Feb. 1 and doesn't reopen until March 1. Also, you can only have two red grouper in your limit of five grouper. Don't for- get to leave that float plan and be careful out there. Good luck and good fishing. i ( d0ioShack S Free $299"Mo dsh Dish with local %" R Dish! channels 101ILtiiouMdsCo. 635 Wakulla Arran Rd. 926-5092 Management Services GT-18 XP Gyro-Trac -- ." .-'- ...

We - had been noticing. that a very ragged flag was being flown and a couple of people were quite up- set. Some people are aware of flag protocols, but others are not. Being a southerner, I was al- ways taught that good manners were a sign of a gentleman and something highly valued. What will pass as acceptable manners in one culture may not carry over to another. This week, I am go- ing to talk a little about U.S. flag etiquette. Most of these rules are common sense and involve showing respect for the symbol of our nation, and really our way of life. When putting a flag away, it i should be folded in a diamond. This really takes two people. The flag should be folded in half and then in half again lengthwise with the stars showing. The flag is then tightly folded into a tri- angle, starting from the end with- out stars. When the last fold is made, a little extra is left over and can be tucked into the fold. If a flag is flown at night, it is supposed to be lighted. Most' flags are taken down at sunset, but there are several places that fly flags officially all the time and they are well lit. Some of these places include the moon (the lighted side, of course)' and the Betsy Ross House. When displayed with other flags, the U.S. flag is displayed higher, closer and/or to the left of other flags. Where, on the same flagpole or staff, the U.S. flag is on top. When two flags are dis- played against a wall, the U.S. flag is on the left (as viewed from the audience). When two staffs are present, the staff on the U.S. flag should be slightly forward of the other staff. When reining multiple flags, the U.S. flag should be raised first and lowered last. If flying at half- mast, the flag should be fully raised and then lowered to half- mast. When taking down a flag that has been flown at half-mast, it should be fully raised and then lowered. The U.S. flag is flown at half-mast for 30 days when a president dies, 10 days if a vice- president dies, or a specified pe- Boating Emergencies Coast Guard Station Panama City ......................... 1 (850)234-4228 Coast Guard Station Yankeetown ..................................... 1 (352) 447-6900 Coast Guard Auxiliary Bayside Marina (Flotilla 11)..................... 1 (850) 984-5449 or................................................ ........... ............. 984-0199 St. Marks (Flotilla 12) .................................. 1 (850) 906-0540 or.... ..................................... 893-5137 Shell Point (Flotilla 13).. .......... 1 (850) 926-7812 or.......... ................................... 926-4550 L.i Ron Piasecki And Jim riod by presidential proclama- tion. Only the president or state governor can declare that the U.S. flag should be flown at half- mast. If the flag is fixed to the staff, a black crepe streamer that is one foot by seven feet can be attached immediately below the staff spearhead. If a U.S. flag is displayed over a street, it should be suspended vertically with the union (stars) facing north on an east-west street or facing east on a north- south street. When used on a casket, the flag is placed with the union over the left shoulder. If a. U.S. flag is displayed flat, it should4be displayed horizon- tally with the union at the top left. This is also the rule for flags in windows, that is, the union (stars) should be at the top left as viewed from the street. International flag usage re- quires that when national flags are flown together, each flag should be flown at the same ** -J - McGill Display The Flag level and be the same size. State flags can also be flown at the same level. When displayed in a church or auditorium, the U.S. flag should always be at the speaker's right side. Other flags go to the speaker's left. When a flag is displayed on an automobile, the staff should be attached firmly to the chassis or clamped to the right fender. The size of the flag depends on the height of the flagpole. A standard 3 foot by 5 foot flag is used on flagpoles that are 15 to 20 feet. A 20 foot pole requires a four foot by six foot flag, a 25 foot flagpole needs a five foot by eight foot flag, and on up to a 100 foot pole that can fly a 30 foot by 50 foot flag. Most boats should fly the en- sign that is 12 inches by 18 inches. The flag should be on the stern or on a high point amidships. No .,hVher flag: shqul0, be, ghehror When a: flag j old and tat- tered, it needs to be disposed of properly. The flag should be burned in a dignified manner. If you have an old flag and do not want to destroy it yourself, drop it by the Coast Guard Auxiliary station here at Shell Point and we will handle it. It is okay to display a histori- cal flag (fewer than 50 stars), and the consensus among flag ex- perts is that it is okay and hon- orable to fly a flag that was used to drape a coffin. If a flag touches the ground, remedy the situation. The flag does not have to be destroyed. If a flag is soiled, it is okay to clean it. It is okay to use a fringe on the U.S. flag..The fringe has no meaning, even if some people think otherwise. It is not proper to write on a flag, unless the writing is limited to the canvas strip that holds the grommets. Technically, the U.S. flag should never be worn. This is one of those fringe areas where I think you have to ask if the flag is dis-, played in a respectful manner. This could apply to tattoos or other flag art. It is usually easy to determine if someone is in- tentionally disrespectful of the flag. Regulations call for the flag to never be put into a posi- tion where it may be "easily torn, soiled or damaged in any way," yet we have a stamp with the flag on it. Go figure.

Coach Nate Jackson said his %young team has played well against just about every oppo- nent and has been in most games the team has played. Jackson has had to play the 2004-2005 season without star player Turelle Farmer who broke her knee playing softball last summer. A number of young play- ers, including freshman Kiara Gay, have stepped up their games in Farmer's absence. A game against Apalachicola scheduled for Jan. 17 was post- poned until Feb. 4 in Franklin County. The Jefferson County game was close throughout the contest as Jefferson jumped to a three point first quarter lead. The game was tied at 15 at halftime before Wakulla opened up a three point lead in the third quarter. Jefferson tied the game in the fourth quar- ter and the two teams combined for four points in the first over- time. In the second overtime, Sandi Dunlap hit the game winning shot with three seconds to go. Kiara Gay had 19 points, 11 re- bounds, two assists and 10 steals. Dunlap scored 14 points while Sharissia Arnold had eight points and two assists. Jamehia Maxwell scored seven while Jessica Forest had four points and 11 rebounds.

Dunlap, Forest and Maxwell help form the nucleus of a team that will return Shannon White from illness for the final games of the season. Farmer is expected to return for her senior season. Florida High and East Gadsden are the only teams that have beaten Wakulla by a wide mar- gin. Without a junior varsity pro- gram, Jackson's young players have been learning the game by playing against juniors and se- niors from other teams.

School 4 ,Club Members, Sponsor Ann Kennedy Plant Oaks And Crape Myrtles At WHS Environmental Club Plants Trees The Wakulla High School En- vironmental Club recently plant- ed eight trees to beautify WHS. The club met in August to de- termine a planting project for the year. With the help of the spon- sor, Ann Kennedy, and permis- sion from Principal Randy New- land, the club decided to plant Shumard Oaks and Natchez crape myrtles to enhance the front of the school drop off area. Both species grow quickly and the crape myrtles will have white blooms in May while the oaks will add beautiful fall color. Volunteers Lynn Artz and NJROTC Cadets Work To Beautify Just as the community helps and supports the Wakulla High School NJROTC unit, the unit helps and supports the commu- nity. On Friday, Jan. 14, more than 20 cadets worked on a Wakulla County Courthouse cleanup after school. The cadets weeded, raked and re-mulched with pine straw. The unit regularly helps out in the cleaning along with volun- teers Hilda Starbuck and Julia Hanway. Starbuck and Hanway provided pizza and soft drinks for all the cadets. Hanway's business, Microtype Graphics, also contrib- Courthouse utes the plants and flowers for the courthouse as part of the Keep Wakulla County Beautiful effort. "Helping out in the commu- nity provides me, as well as the other participating cadets with a sense of pride and accomplish- ment," said Cadet Krista Hensley. "Look for cadets helping out in the community in every way they can," added Cadet Katelyn Knauer. The NJROTC will also be par- ticipating in the FAMU Field Meet Saturday, Feb. 12 at the FAMU Athletic Center.

Rudloe said he was injured on Thursday, Jan. 20 when a tree being moved across U.S. Highway 98 hit him, causing him to som- ersault, reportedly injuring his hip, back and knee. A Wakulla County Sheriff's deputy responded to the scene but did not do an offense report. Rudloe, founder of Gulf Speci- men Marine Labs in Panacea and an environmental activist, had gone to the Dollar Store site af- ter he heard chainsaws. He said he spoke with the construction crew chief at the site about why the trees were being cut. While Rudloe spoke with the crew chief, workers hooked a chain to a cut tree, which had fallen across the highway, and were moving it when the tree struck Rudloe.

Box 307 Crawfordville, FL 32326 Circuit Judge N. Sanders Sauls ordered a former vice-president of Seminole Refining to answer a request for information from the state in an ongoing lawsuit. "What Mr. (James) Young and his counsel have done is delay, delay, delay," David Tarvert, attor- ney for the state Department of Environmental Protection, told the court at a hearing on Mon- day, Jan. 24. Young was vice president of the refining company and the state contends he operated the facility and was responsible for disposal of chemicals at the site, currently known as St. Marks Refinery. DEP has spent more than $16 million on cleanup of the refin- ery site. The agency's pending lawsuit against American Inter- national Petroleum, the current owner of St. Marks Refinery, Seminole Refining, and Young, as a corporate officer is an effort to recoup those expenses. The state had submitted a list of questions to Young, as well as a request for documents. But Young's attorney, Anthony Cleve- land, objected on legal grounds, contending the state does not ORDERYOUR ordered In Refinery Suit have jurisdiction under the "Long against Young, arguing that "de- Arm" statute, a law that specifies fendant Young has refused to under what conditions corporate comply" with orders from the officers can be held individually court. liable for their actions on behalf Judge Sauls denied the request of a company, for sanctions, giving Young 20 Cleveland also contends that days to answer the state's ques- Young does not have custody or tions. control of company documents and cannot produce those records.

Hartwig has interviewed pilots in St. Petersburg and Washington state gathering material for Pitts- burgh International Airport's Se- cret World War II Mission. He hibpes to complete the book ,Wvthin a year. Pittsburgh Interna- tional became a commercial air- port in 1952, said Hartwig. Shortly before Hartwig joined the Air Force in 1955, Col. Council was flying his jet from New York to Langley Air Force Base in Vir- gnia where he was stationed in I1P54 when he died as his jet Lounged into the ocean. Council's bother, David, was a World War I pilot who was killed in combat North Africa. Council's mother, Lillie, died 'i 1981. "She was a great support to my father," said Councill.

It was, as Superintendent of Schools David Miller noted at the School board meeting on Tues- day, Jan. 18, "the only place the impact could have occurred with- out injury and loss of life." SVick, Watts and Scott were all recognized at the meeting by dis- trict Transportation Supervisor Pat Jones and Major Maurice~ Langston of the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office. "She not only saved her own hife," Langston said of Vick's driv- ing, "but the lives of the children on the bus that morning." SWhen Miller asked Vick about a first-hand account of events, the driver just said: "It was dark and I was lucky." Jones presented Vick with the keys to a new 85-pasenger bus to replace the wrecked vehicle, a Jacket designating her as the district's Driver of the Month, and School Board Chairman Greg Irhomas gave Vick a plaque. Watts was credited with avoid- ing a collision in a swerving ma- feuver that Jones said may have put the bus up on two wheels, but without flipping the vehicle $br over-steering into the swamp of cypress and sweetgum just off 'he narrow road shoulders.

Scott, a student at Wakulla High School and a rider on Vick's bus, was hailed for her help after the crash in getting other stu- dents off the bus, keeping them calm, and offering consoling words as well as helping with medical attention. Jones said Scott also helped one young boy, who complained of back pain, convincing him to lie flat and remain quiet. "The students conducted themselves like ladies and gentle- men," Langston said of the crash scene that morning. "It makes you mighty proud we have young people like this in our county." Prepare For Satisfaction! Has your doctor ever put a cast on your arm before first learning that you have a head cold? Has a car dealer ever delivered a Geo Metro to your doorstep before first discovering that you intended to buy a Cadillac? Of course not! Susan Council *is \ Why are these scenarios so unlikely? From experience, you know that doctors ask questions before prescribing treatment. Auto dealers pose lots of questions too, to avoid wasting your time on the wrong model. Buying a home is no different. Before you begin looking at homes, define your objectives. Why are you planning to buy? What size and style home will meet your needs? Do you have specific locations in mind? What price do you plan to pay, and will financing be necessary? When you've answered those questions, choose a real estate agent to assist you with your purchase. Invest time with the agent, up front, discussing your objectives. The agent will research all available homes, then make appointments to see only those which meet your requirements. You will see homes that match your dreams, without the inconvenience and frustration of sorting through those that don't. It could take you weeks to accomplish what the agent can do in hours. You benefit from the agent's experience, training and expertise, saving time and confusion. Your investment in preparation can bring great dividends in satisfaction.

Are we going to help these (com- mercial) fishermen?" Charter Captain Vic Davis and commercial fisherman Richard Van Muenster told the board that the county must help residents who make their living from the sea find a place to dock and bring in their catch. Portwood said the county has a willing seller but the grant won't pay more than the ap- praised value for the land. Commissioners voted unani- mously to pursue the land acqui- sition grant which is valued at $400,000 with the county match funding. Commissioner Ed Brimner said residents are losing access to the water as Florida becomes more developed. Resident John Trice urged commissioners to "take care of the people who have been down there for years." Paul Johnson of the Panacea Waterfronts Committee urged the county to acquire the private par- cel, He said that municipal mari- nas in other communities pay for themselves. More than 17,000 boats are registered in Leon and Wakulla counties, added Johnson. "Will the lot provide enough space for the county to do some- thing with it?" asked Commis- sioner Maxie Lawhon. "We don't know exactly how large it is or the price." "It is going to enhance the property we have now," said Com- missioner Kessler. "The local man has nowhere to go," Captain Davis said of area fishermen. "The fishermen don't need to be kicked anymore," Van Muenster concluded. In other matters in front of the Wakulla County Commission Tuesday, Jan. 18: Annette Phillips, Outreach Community Coordinator for Vir- ginia Maintenance Systems (VMS), introduced new project manager and engineer Marlon Holzbach to the board. VMS has "three to four years left" on a contract with the Florida Department of Transpor- tation to provide state road main- tenance in the county, said Holzbach. The commission approved a $10,837 bid from Sperry and As- sociates, Inc. to provide sides and siding for the recycling building at the county landfill. Sperry sub- mitted a written quote of $8,837 for the project in November.

"At the time the price was quoted, Sperry and Associates was slow on work and was go- ing to do the job for cost," said Veolia Water Systems Project Manager Randy Merritt. "The county commission decided to bid the project, thus causing a delay and increasing the price." The siding is needed to keep pa- per and other recyclables from blowing around the landfill in violation of Department of Envi- ronmental Protection regulations.

"";~;lr,a;ro;~pr~ .4Y~, Page 16-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Jan. 27, 2005 Sheriff's Report The Wakulla County Sheriff's Office issued a notice to appear to Michael Joseph Aries, 22, of Crawfordville Thursday, Jan. 20 after investigators determined that Aries was responsible for shooting a shotgun pellet that hit Steven M. Canfield of Craw- fordville, according to Sheriff David Harvey. Lt. Ray Johnson was at a Crawfordville business when he heard a gun shot. Off duty deputy, Chris Tomaini, on his way to another Crawfordville busi- ness, observed someone shoot- ing a firearm. Lt. Johnson made contact with Aries at a nearby residence and Aries told him he was testing his gun. Canfield reported hearing shots near his home while load- ing his truck. He was struck in the forehead by a pellet. The vic- tim also heard pellets hitting his home. Aries was issued a notice to appear for discharging a fire- arm in public. Deputy Scott DelBeato also investigated. In other activity reported by the Wakulla County Sheriff's Of- fice during the past week: On Jan. 20, Sonya L. Hill of Crawfordville reported a burglary at her home. Her pet dog, nor- mally inside the home, greeted her through an open front door. Nothing of value was taken al- though the victim reported items in the home had been tampered with. A suspect has been identi- fied. Deputy Bobby Gray investi- gated. On Jan. 20, Lawrence Flan- Judge Won't Dismiss Kilmer V. Boyd Lawsuit The defamation lawsuit filed by Bev Kilmer's husband against Congressman Allen Boyd over a television commercial will go for- ward after Circuit Judge N. Sand- ers Sauls denied a motion from Boyd's attorney to dismiss the case. The lawsuit was filed in Octo- ber by All-Tech Southeast, a com- pany that manufactures gates and whose president is Larry Kilmer, husband of the Republican can- didate. The Boyd ad reportedly stated that Bev Kilmer "sat on a board which received state tax dollars that helped her family's business open a new headquarters, cost- ing taxpayers $600,000." All-Tech, a fence and railing manufacturer, moved its head- quarters to Quincy after that city received a state grant of $600,000 to provide infrastructure at Quincy Business Park. Kilmer, a state legislator at the time, sat on the board of Opportunity Florida, an organization that focuses on business development in an eight-county region, and that par- ticipated in a partnership with All-Tech and Quincy. At a hearing on Monday, Jan. 24, Boyd's lawyer, Thomas Findley, argued that the lawsuit should be dismissed because it is political speech, protected un- der the First Amendment, and contends the statements in the TV ad are factually accurate. Findley also argued that the issue was a public question of "whether Ms. Kilmer may have steered some benefit to her fam- ily business." William Blue, attorney for All- Tech, responded that the ad "im- pugns the integrity of a private company by suggesting they have done something to get an advan- tage." He also argued that All- Tech is not a public figure. Blue cited a case from Polk County, "Doc" Dockery v. the Florida Democratic Party, that argued the point of who is a pub- lic figure in political campaigns. In denying the motion to dis- miss, Judge Sauls noted he was giving weight to the Dockery case. The judge did note that the case could proceed next to sum- mary judgment. In the commercial, an image of the company's name, logo, ad- dress and telephone number were displayed as the voice-over speaks. Larry Kilmer has contended the allegation that the company benefited from the state funds to open a new headquarters is com- pletely false. The $600,000 referred to in the ad was part of a block grant from the state Department of Commu- nity Affairs to the City of Quincy, according to the lawsuit. The grant money was used to develop an industrial park to attract new employers to the community. The lawsuit contends none of the grant proceeds went to All- Tech. Two companies moved to theQtuin'y 'BtusineSs 'Park: All- Tech and Big Bend Rebar. The lawsuit claims that All- Tech built its own facility at its own expense and agreed to in- crease its workforce to 12 full-time jobs and connect to Quincy's grant-funded improvements. Findley argued at the hearing on Monday that the facts are not in dispute. What is disputed, he said, are "opinions about those facts," arguing that where an is- sue is "pure opinion, there can be no defamation." Sheriff's Office Starts Jail Extraction Team The Wakulla County Jail has grown to an average of 350 in- mates following the late 2004 opening of the new jail pod. With an increasing jail population, Undersheriff Donnie Crum re- quested and was granted fund- ing for an Emergency Extraction Response team. Training and equipment for the team will cost $20,342 and Wakulla County Commissioners approved the expenditure from the corrections impact fee fund Tuesday, Jan. 18. Undersheriff Crum said the sheriff's office SWAT team mem- bers will be used to form the unit. The unit will be used in the event that an inmate needs to be re- moved from the general inmate population but refuses to coop- erate with law enforcement offi- cials. The training and equipment will allow officials to go into the jail population and safely and lawfully forcibly remove the in- mate. County commissioners ap- proved the request unanimously. In other matters in front of the Wakulla County Commission Jan. 18 involving the sheriff's office: The board approved the pur- chase of a commercial refrigera- tor to replace a unit that is 15 years old. Crum said the unit motor has rusted out. The new refrigerator will cost the county $1,692 and will be paid for through the "rainy day fund." The board approved the car- rying forward of E-911 revenue from the 2003-2004 budget to 2004-2005. The sheriff's office has collected $78,339.98 from the E- 911 surcharge and $18,841.69 from an E-911 small county supplemen- tal grant for a total of $97,181.67 as of Sept. 30, 2004. The funds were earmarked for upgrading the E-911 emergency telephone system. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has mandated that the E- 911 system operate for wireless telephones as well as regular tele- phones. The sheriff's office com- pleted the upgrading of the sys- tem in December. The sheriff's office also re- placed a $3,000 water heater but commissioners did not consider the request because Crum did not have the exact amount of the expenditure available on Jan. 18. The water heater bill will be ad- dressed at a future board meet- ing. agan of Crawfordville reported a burglary at his home.

Page 20-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Jan. 27, 2005 Trace County May Contribute To Fund WILD Bookmobile Continued from Page 1 that the situation constituted an emergency. Citizens, said Kessler, did not have ample time to be notified of the meeting being held. No official action was taken at the workshop. Commissioner Maxie Lawhon said the workshop was necessary to discuss Wakulla Trace legal matters before a funding appli- cation deadline arrived. "This is not the way to do business," said Commissioner Kessler. "This came up on Friday and Monday (Jan. 17) was a holiday," said Commissioner Lawhon of the notification-issue. Kessler countered that an emergency does not exist unless there is a danger to the health, safety and welfare of citizens. Commissioner Kessler added that he did support the apartment proposal. Carter said loans and grants from USDA Rural Development and the Florida Housing Finance Corporation will be used to fund the project. A management com- pany will be hired to manage the facility for at least three years, he added. The project is expected to cost $3 million and will create 34 apartments for senior citizens as well as recreational and laundry facilities near the senior citizens center in Crawfordville. Whatever funding is not cov- ered by money from Rural Devel- opment and the Florida Housing Finance Corporation will be ac- quired through a local bank loan, said Carter. Rental assistance will be offered to low income indi- viduals in 30 of the 34 units. "It gets easier and easier (to com- plete the project) with more help from the county," said Carter. "The senior citizens council will eventually own the facility." Wakulla County Administrator Parrish Barwick said the sewer access fees at the site will be ap- proximately $102,000 while the estimated building permit fees will be $15,100. "We have been working on this project for about four years," Carter concluded. Rotary Continued from Page 1 the Wakulla County Rotary Club to contribute more than $60,000 to various organizations in the county during the past years," said Boles. "We plan to make this the most successful year ever." Hudson Park will host the event which begins at 8 a.m. with a breakfast in the park. Eggs, sau- sage, grits, biscuits and coffee will be served for $5. The breakfast will end at 10 a.m. Parade participants will line up on Michael Drive at 9 a.m. The parade begins at 10 a.m. and will follow a route down Oak Street .to Wakulla Arran Road before 'turning right on U.S. Highway 319 and following a route to the .courthouse where the parade will take a right turn on High Drive :and break up at the chamber of commerce parking lot. The festivities in the park will -include entertainment, arts and -crafts and food such as hot dogs, -seafood, sausages, funnel cakes, :cotton candy and more. An amusement carnival will .set up at the park on Friday, Feb. -11 and continue on Feb. 12. The -carnival will include bumper boats, a trackless train, super slide, exotic petting zoo, rock wall climbing and pony rides. Raffle tickets are on sale for $1 each and the first prize is a "$1,000 shopping spree. The sec- ond place prize is a $500 shop- ping spree. Mike Compton is president of Rotary and Don Henderson is the event chairman. The rest of the committee includes Ray Boles, IJerry Mackin, Doug Jones, Mich- elle Snow, Gene Stover, Jared Miller, Marj Law, Joe Barry and Wayne Buttram. Keep Wakulla County Beautiful! Wakulla County Commission- ers may help fund the Wilderness (WILD) Coast Public Libraries bookmobile in 2005-2006 to pre- vent the library from stopping the service. Commissioner Howard Kessler asked his fellow board members to consider the expenditure. He told board members that the bookmobile is operating two days per week in Wakulla but will cease operations due to a lack of funding at the end of the budget year. "We may want to join with the other counties (Franklin and Jefferson) to fund this," said Kessler of the $25,000 commit- ment that WILD is looking for from each county. WILD is funded by the state to provide administrative and technical support for the public libraries in the three counties. Cheryl Turner is the WILD admin- istrator. WILD was formed in 1992 and receives nearly $290,000 in state funding. Resident John Trice told com- missioners that Wakulla County should not fund the bookmobile if other counties don't follow Wakulla's lead. "Jefferson County is broke," Trice added. Commissioner Kessler, who is a member of the WILD govern- ing board, said Wakulla County could benefit from the bookmo- bile if it is willing to help fund it while other counties would not receive the service if they choose not to contribute. '- Resident Paul Johnson said Wakulla County funding the bookmobile would help the Wakulla County Public Library receive additional funding since county libraries are funded with match money from the state. However, Johnson urged Wakulla County Commissioners to look over the $290,000 WILD budget to see if the WILD board could fund the bookmobile itself. "I would beg them to look closely at their budget to see if they can come up with the money," he said. WILD circulated nearly 5,700 articles (books, DVDs, tapes, etc.) in the three counties last year while the Wakulla County Public Library circulated 90,000 articles in Wakulla alone, said Johnson. Wakulla County had its own bookmobile service in the county prior to the arrival of WILD, but Wakulla Library Director Doug Jones parked the vehicle when WILD arrived on the scene with the new bookmobile. Perhaps the county commis- sion should consider holding a workshop with WILD board members to discuss their budget, Commissioner Kessler recom- mended. The board did not take any action on the library proposal Jan. 18. In other matters before the Wakulla County Commission Tuesday, Jan. 18: The board signed a procla- mation declaring February as Li- brary Appreciation Month.
