SBill Lowrie and Mike Delaney qf the Big Bend Maritime Mu- seum said the time has come for mariners to be remembered for their lives on the sea. The goal of the maritime museum is to celebrate Wakulla County's cultural heritage while also providing a local coastal fishing connection from West Florida to Steinhatchee. Betty Green of the Wakulla County Historical Society lights up when the topic of Wakulla's past comes up for discussion. Green was pleased when the county commission allowed the historical society to take over the "old, old jail" in Crawfordville. ' .She related stories about the jail *. t obk providing tasty meals and Christian music while inmates sang songs. However, when the S jail was located to what now is the tax collector's building, the emergency medical service unit took over the top floor of the building and county offices took over the bottom floor. ,During all of the moving, the county disposed of the cells. "It would have been nice to have saved one cell." said Green. "My biggest concern is that as each oups Working On Historical Projects Photo By Keith Blackmar Betty Green Displays Some Of The Historical Pieces Her Group Has Collected day passes, more and more of our heritage is being lost." Green related stories of Wakulla County residents us- ing horses, mules and wagons to make a twice-a-year, three-day trips to Tallahassee. In the years from 1900 to 1915, Wakullans traveled to Lake Munson to camp on the first night, con- ducted business in Tallahassee on the second day, sleeping at Lake Munson again on the second night, before returning home on the third day. The "old. old jail" is serving as a Thrift Shop to help the society raise money for the historical museum. "We always need a project," she said. The efforts of the historical society are beginning to pay dividends. In 1995. the group received a small grant to hire an architect. A second grant paid for the roof replacement. and a third grant helped fix the exterior of the building and the windows. On a second try. the society successfully received $281.000 in state historic preservation money to complete the inside work. The top floor will become a display area for historical ma- terials while the bottom floor will be office space, a research and archives area.

Several weeks prior to the 2006 primary election, board members moved the citizens section to the last item on the agenda and removed it from cable television. Commissioner Maxie Lawhon said the "citizens to be heard" section was being used by some members of the community for political gain. "All citizens should be en- couraged to participate in their government." said Kessler. "Many citizens are not able to 'easily wait or sit for hours in order to have the opportu- nity to address their board of county commissioners because of medical issues or family re- sponsibilities." Commissioner George Green seconded the Kessler motion and it passed without much dissent. Resident Daniel Thompson applauded the board for the move. The Dec. 18 meeting was a perfect example of the hard- ship on those who wanted to speak, he said.

The youths were recognized for outstanding exhibits that were determined to be the "Best in Show" at the recently concluded fair. Four of the 14 classes open to projects at the fair were won by Wakulla youths. The efforts of the youths netted them ribbons and cash prizes. Wakulla County 4-H and Youth Development Ex- tension Agent Angle Bradshaw presented several checks from North Florida Fair officials to the youths, Wakulla High School senior Marketta Murray of the 4-H Arts and Crafters Club, Wakulla Middle School seventh-grader Sheanna Wright of the 4-H Arts and Crafters, Wakulla Middle School eighth-grader Kelsey Alyea of the 4-H Horsemas- ters Club, Riversprings Middle School eighth-grader Michelle Please turn to Page 3 Cents Commission Again Rejects Call For Audit By KEITH BLACKMAR kblackmartlhewakullanews.nel Buoyed perhaps by a success- ful vote to have the "citizens to be heard" section of the board meetings moved to early in the sessions, Wakulla County Commissioner Howard Kessler turned his attention Monday, Dec. 18. to another long-debated topic. But his motion to request a state operational audit was unsuccessful just as it has been in each of the other at- tempted votes earlier this year and in 2005. "An operational audit is need- ed in order to address problems we have recently identified in the way our county has done business." Kessler said. "Our new administrator will be helped and be more effective if he is able to see what we have been doing right and what we have been doing wrong. An op- erational audit will identify our strengths and weaknesses and help us get on the right course to effectively and efficiently gov- ern during the coming years." SCommissioner Kessler's sug- gestion was supported by Com- missioner George Green and, to some extent. by Commissioner Ed Brimner. But when it came, time to vote, Brimner joined Commissioners Maxie Lawhon and Brian Langston in opposing the audit. "It's healthy for a govern- ment to look at itself," said Brimner. "An operational audit is a good thing." But Brimner asked that new Wakulla County Administrator Ben Pingree be given an oppor- tunity to review county finances and make recommendations for a course of action. Pingree said he plans to review the situation once he comes on board in January. "I can't wait to get started," said Pingree. "I'm ready for the challenge." Pingree added that he plans to take "a pretty sharp pencil'f to county financial documents during the review process. "I. can't understand why any agency would not want an audit," said resident Larry Roberts. CommissionerMaxie Lawhon said he did not support the au, dit because it would cost taxpay- ers money to have state officials review documents. Resident John Trice said an operation audit will "show everything is fine, if there is nothing to hide." "Most of the taxpayers out there want one," said Trice. "Everything will be great for everybody," if the audit fails to turn up any problems. "I'm in favor of it too," said Hugh Taylor. "Where is the (county) money going?" Commissioner Brian Langs- ton said he did not support the audit because the Wakulla clerk's office is capable of audit- ing county budgets, along with the new administrator. "Some- one will be paying for it and it will take several months." said Langston. "I agree," said Commissioner Lawhon. "The county adminis- trator can handle this. I think we should give him a chance." The measure failed 3-2. By WILLIAM SNOWDEN wsnowden@thewakullanews.net A former employee of Gen- eral Dynamics' St. Marks Powder plant claims the company has defrauded the.U.S. government oit of millions of dollars by ,selling gun powder that was not properly tested. Neil Lockhart, an 18-year employee at the facility in St. Marks, has two lawsuits pend- ing: a whistleblower lawsuit in circuit court in Wakulla County claiming he was fired as a result of bringing the allegations to light, as well as a lawsuit in federal court in Tallahassee on a claim of fraud. Both lawsuits were originally filed in 2004. The.Wakulla News reported on Lockhart's allegations when the circuit lawsuit was filed in 2004. General Dynamics initially responded by seeking to have the case sealed as a matter of na- tional security, but later dropped the request. In January 2006, the parties were ordered to seek mediation; there has been no activity in the circuit case since then, though it remains open. The federal case was under seal when it was filed in 2004, as the U.S. Attorney General's Office was considering par- ticipating. The government has since elected not to intervene and the ordered secrecy was recently dropped. Lockhart, who worked as a technician in the company's "ballistics laboratory" at the facility, claims that from 1986 through his firing in 2004 the company was not following required procedures to test gun powder. The plant was constructed more than 25 years ago by Olin to manufacture its trademark Ball Powder bullet propellant, which is used by the U.S. mili- tary for ammunition in its M-16 rifles, M-60 machine guns, and .50-caliber machine guns. The company is supposed to fire a number of blank 7.62mm rounds and tracers as well as 5.56mm tracers to verify the powder ignites. According to Lockhart's fed- eral complaint, the company routinely failed to perform the tests. When it did, the lawsuit alleges that the tracer test con- sistently showed that only 50 to 75 percent of the rounds were ignited, which is below the 96 percent minimum standard of the military. The company allegedly re- ported to the military that there was a 100 percent igni- tion rate.

The rumble from the small gas engine of a log splitter and the cracking sound of logs being split fill the air. On the back porch of the little frame house sits Ms. Ellen, with a kind face and sweet smile. She's a small lady in size, leaning on a walking stick, taking in all the activity. A week ago, Ms. Ellen had: never met any of us nor had we met her. On this busy back road in Wakulla County, surely every one of us had driven by this small frame house many' many times, never really giving. it much thought. This neat little house has been here longer than any of us can remember, long before any of these boys. had been born. It was built in 1944 by Ms. Ellen and her husband. He died in the 60's; she's lived here by herself ever since. Ms. Ellen, you see, heats with wood. As anyone who has: ever lived in a drafty old house with a fireplace or wood stove for heat knows, you can go through a lot of wood trying to stay/warm. That in itself might not seem like a such a big deal to many, however Ms. Ellen will soon be celebrating her 91st birthday. Sitting on the porch, Ms. El- len takes her eyes off the boys and their parents and looks over at the new wood rack sit- ting near her back steps. This new rack will make it easier for her to get firewood, It's not your everyday fire-: Comment David Damon wood rack. It's 12 feet long, with a space on one end for fat lighter. On the other end is a small bench built into the wood rack, a place for Ms. Ellen to rest and enjoy her back yard. A large red bow sits on the wood ,ack, next to the bench. On the back are the following words: "Merry Christmas Ms. Ellen, from Cub.Scout Pack 33, Medart Elementary School, SChristmas 2006." In a quiet voice, Ms. Ellen leans forward and says, "I think Santa came early," with a big grin. With tears in her eyes, she slowly gets up and goes in the house. Before she goes in, she *asks if we'll all come in and see her before we leave. The wood rack is nearly full of freshly split wood, and the boys are almost through filling their milk jugs with water from the well. I have each of the boys pump one gallon of water using the hand pump it isn't easy. When they finish, I point out that this is how Ms. Ellen gets all of her water every day. I tell the boys to take the, jugs home and put them under their Christmas trees. This is 'my, Christmas gift to them. They are a bit puzzled at first. They don't quite get what that gallon represents. Maybe one day they will. Before leaving, we go inside and gather around Ms. Ellen. The small living room is warm -----A A Water Jug Sits Beneath David Damon's Christmas Tree, and cozy. Ms. Ellen sits in her chair in front of the fire. On the walls and mantel are almost a century's worth of pictures of family and friends, many long gone. Each played an important part in Ms. Ellen's life. In this little room, on this night, she is surrounded by strangers that have met this evening to give her a Christmas gift. What she may not realize is that it is she, Ms. Ellen. that has given us the gift this Christmas. Maybe we can all appreciate bet- ter what we do have. what we so often take for granted. For all of us, our wants and wishes may be many, but our needs really are few. Merry Christmas and thank you, Ms. Ellen. David Damon writes from Crawfordville.

Your Views Hunters Have Rights To Public Land, Too Editor, The News: SI can't help but to respond to a letter in the Comment and, Opinion section from last week's paper. Mr. Peeples writes, "It's just wrong for individual groups to claim the public forest f~ir activities that restrict the rights : of others." Doesn't he realize that if the bike trail comes through: the forest that hunting might: and (probably would be for the safety of citizens) be restricted- up to a mile on either side of the trail? So I wonder, is it just as wrong to restrict the right of the hunter? I also come from a short lineage of Floridiaqs. I'm only a fifth-generation Wakullan, but does it really matter if your fam- ily goes back 100 generations or if you just moved in last month?' The national forest is the land of the people. I'm sure wi.h some cool Heads ahid logical thinking. soie sortf conmproiissecani be found. I like the idea of having anyone using the bike trail to be required to buy a management stamp. After all, this is a small price to pay. Hunters don't seem to have a problem with having to pay for the permit. Another logical step would be to.shut down the trail to allow hunting from November to May. Let's not forget there are hunters out there other than "dog hunters." Small game, turkey season, and others would also be affected by the trail. So one can only hope if the trail comes through, (I person- ally hope not), there will be some kind of committee that will truly.not take anyone for' granted. , Shannon Averae Crawfordville ,Letters Policy ; The Wakulla News welcomes your letters. but we request that you adhieret6 the following guidelines:" Letters should not be longer than 300 words. , They must include the writer's name, home address and telephone number.

SBradshaw recently completed ler. second year leading the owing Wakulla County 4-H program. She said the county should be proud of the outstand- ig-students in the program and the efforts and dedication of the parental volunteers. E"There were more than 150 entries from Wakulla Coun- t;": Bradshaw said. Nearly 15 ~aiinties compete at the North Vlorida Fair, and some of the counties have been experienc- ing a decline in 4-H participa- tion. Wakulla County's overall growth spurt has also reached the 4-H program, as Bradshaw has established her presence in the county. The 4-H participation has doubled since she arrived in' tpe county. "They are to be commended," Bradshaw said of the youths. 'We, filled an entire room with exhibits. We have a very good group of youngsters. I'm very blessed." The excited youths happily ac- cepted checks that were valued at up to $51. Three of the girls are in leadership positions within their 4-H clubs. Bradshaw added that Murray has been attending training to become a volunteer since she is close to the 4-H cut- off age of 18. Marketta Murray said she became involved in 4-H after watching other family mem- bers participate. In addition to dry roses, she has been known around 4-H for painting gourds. Churchard learned about pho- tography from her parents who shoot semi-professionally. One of her favorite photographs is a horse's eye with a reflection of her camera lens, she said. Alyea said she has been col- lecting nutcrackers for several years. The winning exhibit is just a portion of her overall col- lection, said Bradshaw. Shields said she wanted her exhibit to reflect her love of horses. Bradshaw added that the Franklin County family is dedi- cated to her 4-H participation despite the longer driving dis- tances from Carrabelle. Wright said she wanted her floral ar- rangements to have a unique touch with turkey feathers. Other Wakulla County youths have participated in dairy goat shows, Share The Fun talent shows and a school-based em- bryology club. "We want to encourage kids to do this," said Bradshaw. Despite the fact that the merit winners were all female, the Wakulla 4-H program is also open to boys. Many boys par- ticipate in the shooting sports programs led by Wakulla County Extension Director Dale Ben- nett. Bradshaw has expanded the impact of 4-H from the six clubs that meet at the extension office to the school classrooms. More than 500 youths are impacted by the 4-H program through in- school activities that not only allow Bradshaw to give students more exposure to her program, but also give Wakulla teachers a chance to vary their classroom curriculum. Youths also have the op- portunity to compete in the Public Speaking contest, a horse and swine show and summer camps. Parental involvement is one key to program success, said Bradshaw, but it also helps that she is willing to put in the many hours needed to create a success- ful program. "I probably work 60 hours per week doing training, profes- sional development and travel," she said. "You have to have your heart into it to foster the interest of the kids." "Our parents really believe in what 4-H teaches," Bradshaw concluded of the life skills. "They (youths) have worked very hard."

Resident John Trice thanked the board for putting the citi- zens back on television where residents can be informed and entertained from their own home. The "citizens to be heard" sec- tion creates more open govern- ment, said Hugh Taylor. "Open government is a give and take," he said. The input "broadens and deepens citizen involvement." "We can do it before the Pledge of Allegiance," said Com- missioner Maxie Lawhon, sarcas- tically. "But, you'll be wanting to cording to the lawsuit. General Dynamics and the past owners of the facility - Olin and Primex have filed motions to have Lockhart's fed- eral lawsuit dismissed, claiming General Dynamics Ordnance & Technology has already publicly disclosed the problem to the proper government officials. The motion to dismiss calls Lockhart's complaint a list of "a variety of vague complaints by a disgruntledformer employee," rather than a specific allegation of "who, what, where, when and how of the purported fraud." Olin additionally said it move it back and take if off TV for a short time next election season." In other matters in front of the Wakulla County Commis- sion Monday, Dec. 18: The board is considering adding an ad valorem property tax exemption for individuals who provide housing in their home for elderly relatives. Commissioner Ed Brimner said the proposal will allow a re- duction of property taxes for the section of the home being used by the elderly. Brimner added that he will bring the "grandpar- ents tax exemption" proposal up for possible advertising and adoption in January. Brimner said he will also should be dismissed as a defen*. dant because claims against that, company are time-barred. No hearing date has been set for the motion. Olin, a Virginia corporation headquartered in Norwalk, Conn., built the plant and later spun off the division as Primex. in 1996, which in turn formed' St. Marks Powder as a subsidiary in 1998. General Dynamics bought all Primex common stock in 200Q' for $334 million, and St. Marks, Powder became a subsidiary of, General Dynamics Ordnance &. Technology.

"We have a limited number of artifacts," said Lowrie. "We're going to heed to find a place to put them. We're limited by what (space) we have now." 5'The maritime supporters applied for a $3.7 million state grant to acquire coastal parcels, dome of which have structures on them, for the proposed mu- i'eam.

"We will apply through the county commission again next spring. It's highly competitive." If the maritime group is fund- ed in 2007, offers will be made to the coastal property owners in the spring of 2008. In the mean- time, the group will continue to work on themes and designs for the museum. Historians and curators will be brought onboard so that "when we get the property, we will be ready to go," said Lowrie. Ronald Fred Crum and family members are some of the principal owners of the Panacea property. Green understands the his- tory of the county firsthand. At 'Crawfordville High School gradu-, ate, she taught at rival Sopchop- py High School before moving to Leon County and completing a 30-year career. "Everybody had to leave here to work unless they fished or farmed," she said. Only two areas of Crawford- ville are the way Green remem- bered them from her youth. (Her father moved around the state to find work and eventually moved back to Crawfordville.) The swamp area on Highway 61 south of Wakulla Springs has not changed, and the west end of Wakulla Arran Road is still a canopy, one-lane road, she said. The "new Highway 319" to Tal- lahassee did not open until 1949. Residents got to Tallahassee by cutting eastward across the county toward what is now the Woodville Highway. "I'm glad they're saving what they can," she said of the mari- time supporters, "We don't seem to recognize the value of things anymore." Green and her supporters have a grant request ready to submit to the state in May which, if successful, will create a historic village with old homes saved from destruction. A trip to the Pioneer Settlement in Blountstown sent Green and her supporters into overdrive with a desire to create the village near Crawfordville. The village would serve as a place where residents could go for picnics while tourists could visit and learn about the county's heritage. The thrift shop is open from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturdays. The hours will be expanding in 2007. The shop contains histori- cal items for sale including the Wakulla County afghan and the first two Christmas ornaments in a limited edition series. The 2005 ornament is the old courthouse and the 2006 ornament is the St. Marks Lighthouse. Both organizations are happy to accept tax deductible contri- butions to further their causes. The Big Bend Maritime Center's address is PO. Box 896, Panacea. FL 32346. The historical society's address is P.O. Box 151, Crawford- ville, FL 32326. "I'm either blessed or cursed. depending on how you look at it," said Green of her love of history. "I'm sad to see the old destroyed. Most of the people coming here are looking for a good way of life. I'm honored that people are coming here. "A lot of the older people don't realize what a great trea- sure they had," Green concluded. "We still have a few good build- ings left. It would be a jewel if we can do it."

S er s THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Dec. 28, 2006-Page 5 County In No Rush To Fill Post SBy KEITH BLACKMAR OfTheWakulla News Wakulla County Interim Community Development Di- rector Melissa Corbett will be staying in her post longer than ~nficipated. SLast week, county officials announced plans to re-advertise fr a replacement for former community Development Di- ector Donnie Sparkman. , Sparkman became the newest Property appraiser in November Ufter defeating appointed Prop- erty Appraiser Anne Ahrendt during the General Election. Interim County Administra- tor Joe Blanchard asked staff members to re-advertise the planning and zoning opening after the original advertise- ment generated only three candidates. The advertising period closed on Dec. 15. Franklin C. Evans of Sop- choppy applied for the post along with Paul G. Johnson of Crawfordville and Gina Wolters of Crawfordville. 0 Evans is the water plant operator for the Panacea Area Water System (PAWS). He took the position in 2003 after serv- ing as the assistant planning director from 1990 to 2003. He also worked for the City of Sopchoppy. Johnson owns his own consulting company, Paul G. Johnson and Associates. He has also worked for the Department of Environmental Regulation (DER), which is now the Depart- ment of Environmental Protec- tion. Johnson also worked in the Governor's Office of Plan- ning and Budgeting and with the Center for Marine Conser- vation. Wolters is in the real es- tate industry. She has worked for Area Realty, Port Realty and Shell Point Realty. Blanchard said there is no rush to fill the position because "Melissa is doing a good job." He added that new County Administrator Ben Pingree will want to be part of the selection process as well. Pingree comes on board in January. Corbett said she did not apply for the open position. "I thought it over and it's not what I want to do right now," she said.

And We, in the fire service, expect the yery same of our firefighters. he quicker we arrive on-scene, the better our chance of being able to safely extinguish a fire before major damage is done to the structure. put, it is important to know that it is not always practical Veor in many cases, possible to Srive on-scene as quickly as we iould like or as quickly as the bonieowner might expect. I; Because the county's fire Departments are staffed with volunteer firefighters, when phe emergency call is received, volunteers must first drive from Jheir homes-or places of employ- Eent to the fire station, pick up re trucks and then proceed to .e fire. Even when firefighters happen to be physically located .t the fire station when a call comes in, it may take up to 10 minutes to arrive at an emer- gency scene depending upon distance from the fire station to the scene and highway traffic. SIt is understandable that-a homeowner, whose house is on fire might think that the amount of time taken by the fire depart- pent to respond is an inordinate tnd unnecessary delay. The fact Islthat firefighters exert all pos- sible efforts to arrive as quickly and as safely as possible. It is also important to know that even after firefighters arrive on-scene at a structure fire, there ae inherent delays in beginning the fire-fighting process. This is due to certain basic "pre-attack" functions and responsibilities that must, in many cases, be completed before firefighters can begin to extinguish a fire. 'These delays often appear, also understandably, to be un- necessary and probably ex- asperating to a homeowner ,r bystander who might not understand why the fire is not being immediately attacked. belays often occur in initiating he fire attack because, among S l. , Brian Iudolph Fully " TrntDetz Licensed& r -Owners Insured 926-TREE (8733) other functions, fire trucks have to be positioned, hoses laid to the structure, hoses laid to a fire hydrant or water tender to provide an uninterrupted water supply for the pumpers, a plan of attack developed, ladders raised, the structure ventilated to prevent potentially deadly flash- overs, and firefighters must don personal protective clothing and breathing apparatuses. In most cases, these pre-attack functions S p must occur before beginning to fight the fire and usually last only a very few minutes. In-Sto0 Beginning early in 2007, the 1626. Crawfordville, Wakulla Station and Medart fire departments will have paid firefighters on duty at those three fire stations during weekday hours from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. As a result, Esc firefighters will be able to roll fire trucks to emergency scenes faster than if relying solely on volunteer response; -,," " We sincerely hope your home ' never catches fire.

You're Never Too By SUSAN YELTON CHAT Board Member For many of us, December is a month of trying to get ready for the holidays, office parties, and sharing with others. But for a little 10-year-old named Lauren, her thoughts have been about the animals in the shelter and whether they would have a loving home by Christmas. Lauren is the youngest and newest member of CHAT. I first met her at one 6f our monthly CHAT meetings. Her mother, Debbie Casto, brought her to the meeting because Lauren said she wanted to help the animals at the shelter, Finding a task for a 10-year- old who is in school during the hours the shelter is open presented a challenge. In retro- spect, it was fortuitous that my agenda for the meeting was to recruit volunteers who would join me at our Saturday adop- tion sites. But, could Lauren be a vol- Fallen Tree Knocks Out Power A large oak tree fell and damaged two power poles on Highway 365 on Saturday, Dec. 23, at 9:27 a.m. The damaged Talquin Electric Cooperative poles and power lines were repaired and the widespread power outage was restored at 3 p.m. Talquin officials said the tree damaged two power poles and four transformers. Six work crews were called to the scene to repair the damage. Officials could not say exactly how many customers were out of power, but customers from Medart to the coast were with- out power.

That depended upon Debbie and whether she could give up her Saturdays and take Lauren to the adoption sites. As many of us know, for a working mother Saturday is the time to catch up on household chores and everything else that does not get done during the week.

Lauren always gets to know all the puppies and kittens we take with us, and based upon their personal- ity gives them names. It is hard enough to return animals to the shelter, but now these animals have identities The third week, Lauren ar- rived at the shelter earlier than I did and had all of the animals in crates ready to go.

I also pointed out, "even in Florida they rarely get over. 600 pounds." Instead, the first paragraph stated, "They are the smallest in Wakulla County, rarely getting over 600 pounds," and said nothing about their ex- tensive range and abundance. Now on to this week's col- umn: Last Saturday at 6:30 a.m., I stepped outside and sure enough, the cool front that had slipped by on its way south Friday afternoon, had swept the sky clean and in the predawn darkness stars were shining brightly through the treetops. It was going to be a clear and glorious day.

The promise of a perfect day settled the matter. I needed to "smell the roses" and join Don Morrow on one of his sched- uled waterfront tours through the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, After breakfast I quickly pat- ted my canine friend, Buddy, on the head and said "stay home" to him, I departed. I got to the Refuge headquarters at 9 a.m., arid soon Don was leading a car- avan of about 20 folks into the refuge. When we pulled up to East Pool we really lucked out. Often that lake is fairly quite, but this morning, as though Mr. Morrow had pre-arranged it, the place was alive with wildlife, namely birds. Snipe, Killdeer, White Peli- cans, Tree Swallows, and a Harrier (or Marsh Hawk), were there; just to name a few. We stayed there roughly 40 minutes and recorded nearly 30 species. Soon, Don and the driver, Mr. Oliver, were unlocking gates and taking us to areas rarely seen by the public (all under authorization, of course). By noon, when the tour ended, we'd recorded around 65 bird species and one otter. Don really knows his waterfowl and 'has been doing these tours in the refuge for years. His next trip will be on Jan. 27, as I recall, and if you wish to go you need to sign up early by calling the refuge at 925-6121. Of the 15 species he felt we might observe, we did record 13. The waterfowl are really inl A number, of other species, like Wood Storks, Black Crowned Night Herons, and Sharp-shinned Hawks, were also present. The waterfowl had really moved in after the cold snap about ten days ago. We recorded Black Duck, Tiffany Quintero, Meredith Flanders, Kim Stanley, Shannon Mills, Crystal Sutcliff, Amber Annand, Sarah Keister, Colleen Morgan. Chelsea Collins, Mag- gie Ogden, Dana Roloff and Cora Douglas. Coach Moore said she has 30 girls competing this season and the squad will have two state. meet qualifiers Jan. 11 at Lynni Haven Mosley and Jan. 23 at Tal- lahassee Lincoln. The team will also face Chiles on Jan. 16 and Lincoln on Jan. 1S before head- ing to the state championship on Feb. 10. "The girls are doing very well and working very hard," said Coach Moore. "We have been using a little different training method this year."

It was a fantastic morning with a bunch of really nice people. I took a quick break for lunch then headed out to the lighthouse. I met Ron Christian and others doing their annual Christmas bird count for the Na- tional Audubon Society. By the end of the day they expected to observe around 130 or more different species of birds. They are out before dawn and stay after dark listening for owls and other night birds. I stayed for about an hour and identified about 15 more species, observing around' 80 species from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Around the lighthouse and in the lighthouse pool, I added Song, Swamp and Savannah Sparrow to my list,,plus the nifty Bufflehead Ducks just off the beach, Horned Grebe and one Common Loon, In the pool were Black Sim- mers, Reddish Egrets, Marbled Gadwits, Ruddy Turnstones, and many species of shore- birds/sandpipers.

Page 10 THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Dec. 28, 2006 Sheriff's Report : The Wakulla County Sheriff's Office is investigating a retail theft and grand theft reported at the Crawfordville Wal-Mart on Dec. 20, according to Sheriff David Harvey. SJoseph L. Redding of Wal- Mart reported the theft of a 32-inch television set from the Store's electronics section. The television is valued at $698. A Tallahassee Wal-Mart reported a similar theft. The suspects were observed escaping through a fire escape door. Tallahassee officials re- ported the theft of a computer using the same method. The suspects were also believed to be involved in a Dec. 13 grand theft at the Crawfordville store. The case is being forwarded to the Criminal Investigations Division. Deputy Pam Veltkamp investigated. In other activity reported by the Wakulla County Sheriff's Of- fice during the past week: On Dec. 16, Nancy V. Greene of St. Marks reported the theft of a picnic table from the St. Marks River Cantina. The table was valued at $200 and was taken from a patio area. Deputy Roger Rankin investigated. On Dec. 21, Jessica Lanette Fruggerio, 22, of Crawfordville was charged with retail theft at Winn-Dixie in Crawfordville. Store officials said they wit- nessed the suspect leave the store with deli items she did not pay for. The items were discovered under items she had paid for. She was issued a notice to appear in court and a trespass warning not to return to the establishment. The items were valued at $18.43. Sgt. Jud McAlpin investigated. On Dec. 21, Deputy Pam Veltkamp, Det. Fred Nichols and Deputy Jason Newlin conducted a traffic stop involving Michael Jason James, 27, of Crawford- ville. James had four active war- rants out of Leon County. During the vehicle search, a bag of cannabis was allegedly discovered. James was charged with possession of 9.3 grams of marijuana. On Dec. 20, Lois T. King of Crawfordville reported a crimi- nal mischief as someone dam- aged her mailbox. The box was discovered in a drainage ditch. Damage was estimated at $20. The box appeared to have been run over by a vehicle. Deputy Ward Kromer investigated. On Dec. 16, William E. Har- ris of Crawfordville reported a criminal mischief to his vehicle tires. Roofing nails were used to puncture six tires on two separate vehicles. The case was forwarded to the Criminal In- vestigations Unit. Damage was COURT BRIEFS - A man who has served eight years in a Mexican prison on ilrug charges as well as a 10-year sentence in Virginia for growing marijuana scored between nine inonths in jail and 10 years in prison on charges of having fake driver licenses. James Lewis, 63, had entered a plea to two counts of pos- session of fraudulent driver licenses, a third-degree felony, but his sentencing hearing was continued on Thursday, Dec. :14, due to the judge's concern ,that Lewis have a psychiatric evaluation to determine if he is a danger to the public. Circuit Judge N. Sanders Sauls noted that a report by a psychologist who interviewed :Lewis was not conclusive. "He mnay or may not be psycho- pathic," the judge read. "It says he couldn't make any type of definitive diagnosis because >f Lewis' evasiveness and ma- nipulation." After ordering another evalu- 4tion, Judge Sauls told assistant public defender Edrine Johnson that he would continue the hearing until a report was made. "If your client decides not to be evasive or manipulative, then perhaps we can conclude this," the judge said. Johnson had asked Sauls to sentence Lewis to the time he already has served in the Wakulla County Jail on a convic- tion of misdemeanor battery. The IDs were not being used, Johnson argued, but were found in a filing cabinet by deputies investigating an incident in which Lewis had attacked his former companion. Assistant State Attorney Ash- leigh Landers asked the court for the maximum sentence of 10 years, saying that Lewis had a lengthy criminal record stretch- ing back 40 years. "He is a career criminal and has nothing to offer society," Landers said. "I don't understand when you've got a situation where someone has served 18 years in various prisons and it is scored in Florida as 'no prison,'" Judge Sauls said, expressing his disap- pointment with the sentencing guidelines developed by state lawmakers. "Here's someone who's served 18 years, and the legislature wants to talk so tough on crime and then they set up a system where someone scores no prison time." Judge Sauls read from the court file noting that Lewis has used "29 aliases, had four differ- ent birth dates and three Social Security numbers." An 18-year-old man who committed a burglary, breaking into a house by knocking the. door down to steal marijuana, was sentenced by Judge Sauls as a youthful offender. Joshua Ouzts was ordered to serve two years of probationand get his GED within 12 months for felony burglary charges, punishable by a maximum of 15 years in state prison. Defense attorney Lynn Alan Thompson argued that Ouzts had cooperated with law en- forcement and had no previous criminal record before he' and several friends broke into a home with a crowbar on June 22 to steal drugs. "You need to leave the weed alone," Sauls told Ouzts. "It's just stupid.

Operation-wise the East Guard Auxiliary Flotillas along the eastern end of the Big Bend area have had a quiet year, no lives lost and no major severe weather conditions. , 'But that does not mean the Auxiliary members have been sit- ting by twiddling their thumbs. Quite the opposite, especially Flotilla 12 members at St. Marks ,who have been extremely busy in various Auxiliary programs. Flotilla 13 at Shell Point had anotherr "first." More about that later. SAnd now that last look ... ,; January: It was a quiet month with no on-the-water rescues. Debbie Champion of Flotilla 12 was chosen to be the first re- cipient of the Gilbert/Champion Award for her dedicated service to the Auxiliary. ; That Flotilla award had been developed to honor the memo- ries of two of their founding members, Don Gilbert and Join Champion. Of interest to Flotilla 13 was having the 87-foot Coast 3Guard Vessel SEAHAWK an- chored off Shell Point the latter pfrt of the month. The cutter is "homeported" in Carrabelle where it performs maritime law enforcement board- trigand participates in Search #nd Rescue (SAR) missions. February: For your reporter, the highlight of the month was when Carolyn Brown Treadon officially became Flotilla 12's re- porter'and would now send me wveeklj reports of her flotilla's ac- tivities. She had often supplied the info, but now she would do it weekly. M' irch: The month began quietly, education (member or public) still continued in both Flotillas, but other things were happening. The winter confer- ence for Division 1 was held in Fort Walton Beach. At the awards banquet that Saturday night, Flotilla 12 members were in the limelight bringing home a large percentage of the 200 awards , earned by the Division. On March 2, in an impressive ceremony at the Tallahassee Air- port, Jack Rosenau of Flotilla 13 was inducted into the Aviation Wall of Fame in the Airport Avia- tion Museum. This high honor lerrie Aiverson : Boating Emergencies " Coast Guard Station Panama City ....................................... 1 (850) 234-4228 Coast Guard Station Yankeetown .............................. ................ 1 (352) 447-6900 Coast Guard Auxiliary St. M arks (Flotilla 12) .................................... .... 1 (850) 906-0540 or ............... .... ..................................... ............ .. 893-5137 Shell Point (Flotilla 13) ..................................... 1 (850) 926-2606 or ......................................................... 926-5654 was bestowed on only one other person this year. Jack was the first Auxiliarist honored. April: For the Auxiliary the first weekend in April was the official opening of the boating season. The Auxiliary stations are to be manned on weekends and holidays and safety patrols are scheduled. Beverly Suban Completed her boat crew train- -ing and was designated a quali- fied Coxswain becoming Flotilla 12's only one. May: At their first May meet- ing, the Wakulla County Com- missioners submitted a grant to replace or repair all of the Shell Point and Spring Creek county- maintained channel markers. The boaters were excited. On Saturday, May 6, Flotilla 12 taught a basic navigation class to 20 area boaters. The class, the first of its kind, was developed by Dave and Bev- erly Suban and Mark Rosen. It was so well-received that more classes will be presented. June: Alberto, the first tropi- cal storm of the season, swept across the Gulf of Mexico and into the Apalachee Bay where it couldn't quite make up its mind. Although it threatened our area a few times, it really didn't do much damage. At Flotilla 13's meeting, Bob Morgan received the Coast Guard Meritorious Team Commendation for his exceptional service while serv- ing on the 2005 National Scout Jamboree U. S. Coast Guard Task Force. It was the largest scout gathering in the United States. Flotilla 12 hosted a successful and educational Summer Divi- sion 1 meeting in Tallahassee. After a lot of hard work, the members of Flotilla 12 were very proud to open when their new communication center was opened and the St. Marks Auxiliary Station was again on the air. July: In one of Carolyn Tre- adon's reports she remarked, "Education is a continuous pro- cess in the Auxiliary." How true, how true. At times it can be a real headache, but nevertheless, it is worth the effort. We also feel that what the boater learns on dry land could save his/her life if things go wrong at sea. Local Auxiliarists attended the Change of Watch at the Coast Guard Station in Panama City, Master Chief Cantrell replaced Master Chief Rommerdahl who had been officer-in-charge of the station for years and was our Call-Out authority for years. Following that ceremony there was a retirement party for Chief Rommerdahl. August: The month began on a sour note. The light on the tripod marking the mouth of the Shell Point Channel stopped working so Flotilla 13 members went out to check and noticed that the red lens was missing. When they climbed the tripod they found the light had been destroyed and would have to be replaced. Ted and Thelma Gaupin donated that light so we knew how costly they are. The other disturbing fact the channel markers still had not been re- placed by the county. Later in the month, the Coast Guard sta- tion at Panama City furnished the parts needed to repair the tripod light. In the opinion of the Coast Guard, the solar cell had been directly struck by light- ning and the air inside of the light had expanded so that the plastic lens just disintegrated from the intense heat. September: At the Division meeting the last of the month we were very proud that Rich Rasmussen of Flotilla 12 was elected Division Captain for 2007. Jeff Brooks of Flotilla 19 Panama City Beach will be the Vice Captain. And we were very proud of Judy Bentley and Mi- chael Longanecker, both from Flotilla 13, who were presented their AXOP certificates and devices. Presentation of this prestigious award indicates they) have completed all seven of the Auxiliary- specialty courses and are promoted to AUXOP status. It was announced that Flotilla 1-10, the Division's only inland flotilla, has moved from Sneads to the old Coast Guard Station at Lake Seminole. This was of spe- cial interest to.both Flotillas 12 and 13 as many of their members were-transferred from Flotilla 12 to form the nucleus for that Flo- tilla. Before that, some of Flotilla 13's members had been chosen to re-establish Flotilla 12. October: "From out of the Past" ... You have read this phrase in novels and have ac- cepted it with tongue-in-cheek, but it can happen. You look up and there is Ken Lanter of Lanter Communications in Thomas- ville. He is smiling that special smile of his and suddenly you are remembering days of yore when Flotilla 13 was in the old station. Ken Lanter never joined the Auxiliary, but spent untold hours maintaining Flotilla 13's "Antenna Farm" (VHF-FM, RDF and aircraft radios.) Although he can no longer climb towers, he still cares about the Auxiliary. October is election time for flotilla commander and vice commander. Results: Flotilla 12 - Tim Ashley and Duane Treadon; For 13, Ron Piasecki and Michael Longanecker, re-elected. At the Change of Watch in Panama City on the first Sunday in December, they will be sworn but will not assume duties of their office until the first of January. The last weekend of the month is the official "end of the boating season." There will not be anyone on duty until the first weekend in April. However, both Flotillas have agreed to assist FSU with the collection of water samples for a study on Red Tide throughout the Panhandle area so there will be those patrols into November and December. November: An interesting and educational time. During the morning, members from both flotillas met at the Shell Point Auxiliary station to complete Team Coordination Training (TCT). This course is one of the mandatory ones every five years, to remain qualifications to part take in Auxiliary activi- ties. Also, it must be conducted under the supervision of a TCT Facilitator. As Mark Rosen of Flotilla 12 is one of the few so qualified in our Division, we were fortunate and did not have to travel somewhere else. Two Flotilla 12 Auxiliary ves- sels and their crews participated in a Search and Rescue (SAR) ex- ercise at the Coast Guardstation in Panama City. They did very well indeed the crew on one of their entries wias the only orie'to recover all of the "survivors" f'fa simulated airplane crash:"" Flotilla 13 was selected to be a part of Medart Elementary School's Project Learning Tree held in Woolley Park in Panacea on Nov. 16. That weekend, on Nov. 18, Flotilla 13 was back at Woolley Park with a safe boating booth at the first ever Mighty Mullet Maritime Festival. The last weekend in the month, Ron Piasecki, Flotilla 13 Commander-Elect and Duane Treadon, Flotilla 12's Vice Com- mander-Elect, attended the Flotilla Commander's Academy in Pensacola. December: The Change of Watch for Division was held on Dec. 3 at the St. Andrews Bay Yacht Club. At this ceremony, all elected and appointed staff officers were sworn in and will assume the duties of their o6- fice until Jan. 1. On Dec. 9, the annual golf cart parade at Shell Point was held and Flotilla 13's entry was the golf cart/Auxiliary boat Tilla 13 with the disabled Dumb Ship in tow. Christmas has come and gone uneventfully. Now the old year is slowly going out the door. We, the Coast ,Guard Auxil- iary, wish everyone A HAPPY AND SAFE NEW YEAR REMEMBER, SAFE BOATING IS NO ACCIDENT. lSpecializing In EL -TRI- Residential & .7 T Commercial MARK OLIVER Homes & (850)421-3012 Mobile Homes (850) 421-301 ER0015233 24-Hour Service, ( Serving The Area 34 Years!

MLS. ,! /I : Home Builders. has unveiled rules for constructing "envi- ronmentally friendly" homes. "Green" features of your next home might include energy ef- ficiency, interior quality, low maintenance landscaping, and even ways to reclaim water and use natural sources of energy. The concept of "green houses" is relatively new What's even newer is the idea that these homes can be affordable. In the past, it seemed only "niche" builders serving "upper end" clients could offer such energy- saving, environmentally friendly homes. If a home's environmental im- pact and energy efficiency are important factors in your next home buying decision, investi- gate the newer "energy efficient mortgages" being offered. Some allow you to buy an older home and add the cost of energy im- provements to.the loan! Visit www.nahb.org on the web and click on "Environment" tinder "Resources," and you'll be amazed and enlightened. As al- ways, call me for any of your real estate needs.
