The hearings, which were to be heard by the Code Enforcement Board on Wednesday, June 10, were continued until July to give attorneys I Mules and mowing in the spotlight for the alleged violators time to pre- pare. They were only given six days notice, that the county intended to move forward with the hearings, Meanwhile, attorney Bob Routa filed a brief in the appeal of Log Creek LLC, which had been found in violation of the ordinance for mow- ing around a wetland and allowing mules to clear underbrush. The brief, filed in circuit court on Tuesday, June 9, seeks to have the court declare the wetlands ordinance unconstitutional because it isn't clear about what lands are regulated, and the activi- ties "subject to enforcement by the Code Enforcement Board are vague and overbroad." And even as the county commis- sion has directed staff to work on changes to the wetlands ordinance, including some exemptions that would appear to be common sensical - the county's road and park depart- ments are allowed to continue their maintenance 'activities, though the roads and grounds they are maintain- ing are within the 75-foot boundary of a wetland - the Planning Com- mission voted to give conditional use permits to the departments for their operations.

Of the grand total, $1.4 million was raised through individual bid- ding and $1.146 million was struck off to the county. The 2009 sale recently concluded online with a grand total, of $2,641.277.11. The 2008 sale held the old record at $2,2 million. The 2009 sale was the fifth for Olah in her time as tax collector. The 2007 sale raised $1,384,442.69 with another $4,573.62 worth of parcels struck off to the county. The 2008 sale raised a total of $2,217,410.90 with $1,980,717.55 worth of parcels sold to indi- viduals and $236,693.35 struck off to the county. The county sold 917 tax certificates to individuals and 1,704 were struck off to the county. In 2008, the county sold 1,871 tax certificates to indi- viduals and 553 were struck off to the county. The sale provided a good news-bad news 'scenario, ac- cording to the tax collector's office. The good news was certificate buyers got higher interest rates on their invest- ment when compared to past years, The bad news for, the county was the higher than normal number of parcels struck off to the county, ac- cording to Lisa Craze of the tax collector's office. The interest rates bid were higher in 2009. but the num- ber of larger investors partici- pating in the sale process was lower, she added. Parcels struck off to the county take longer for the county to receive the tax dol- lars owed on the property. The 2008 sale was the first year in Olah's time in office that the county 'had parcels struck off to it, in addition to the parcels that must to be struck off due to state law.

I was anxious to tell the 20 or 30 members who attended the meeting ,aout the nuts and bolts of ,The Wakulla News operation. Iwas also intrigued to do my -'very scientific" poll of the membership to determine how they get their news. , We have all seen the slanted broadcast media news reports about the demise of the print media. Perhaps some daily newspapers are struggling, but the weekly newspapers are alive and well, especially in Wakulla County. I began my discussion by questioning where the Rotary members receive their news for the day. I feel we do a good job of getting the news out to the public so I expected people to say they were sub- scribers and/or readers, which they did. We thank them for 'being loyal and keeping their "small town newspaper" alive 'and well. -',O'Since I was speaking to Ro- -fary I figured the membership 'would be up on the news and they were.

The tale of Harry's dishwasher SNurse Judy's Judy n Conlin I decided to order a dish- washer for my daughter on the Internet. After all I am comput- er-literate, maybe even gifted, and I wanted to show off my skills. We needn't discuss the fact that I had previously gone on Facebook'and nearly alien- ated the entire world. This was Salimple task, one I've been able Staccomplish before, so I sat ' n and began a process that consumed the next 48 hours, its outcome still in doubt. ,-'It started off innocently enoughh.

I had researched a Clara Cotriss years before, but how I became half of her name I can't explain. I decided.to let that go and put in a password. This took many tries before I was able to meet their stan- dards. Then came a personal question- the namq of a pet This was another dilemma. I have two pets. Which should I enter? I didn't want hurt feel- ings and if they asked for this information again, how would I remember which one I had chosen. I finally just typed one in, which I will not disclose, in case they happen to read this column. At last I was allowed in to the web site which listed all kinds of special offers I could get if I ordered the dishwasher online.

And'I read with great pleasure about the City of Tallahassee's effort to build a new sewer treatment plant to help the aquifer recover. At the same time I read that there's been another sewer main break on Capital Circle, which seems to happen after heavy rains. The sewage issue is a huge concern in a country with more than a billion or so peo- ple.' Does anyone in Wakulla actually even understand just how many people that is? It means, that Wakulla's beautiful paradise on earth has to become a beacon for cleanliness. A beacon for how Wakulla might serve as a leader, a role model for com- munities all over the world that are truly struggling with disgusting sewer problems, and with a flood of plastic bags flying through the air landing everywhere, where charcoal is used to cook both inside darkened rooms and in the streets, adding to the foul air. I haven't written before (as I had promised) from China because I have been so struck by everything I am experienc- ing. My head spins and yet, I see clearly how the City of Tallahassee's decision to do the right thing to change its sewage dilemma would not have happened without Wakulla County citizens. This one incident can serve as a point of reference to people here in China. The ef- forts that resulted in the City of Tallahassee agreeing to change is an example of how a group of folks who love the Wakulla River, who are over- come with gratitude at the sight of Wakulla Springs and its life-giving water jumped into action to save it. I tell my students about the Friends of Wakulla Springs and their planning and strat- egies to save the spring. I till them about the environ- ment and how such a group of dedicated people made a huge change in the future of this spring, our aquifer and the river flow. The students feel my pas- sion and are inspired to write about how they might solve problems in their environ- ment as they write assign- ments for classes. Above all, they would like to visit to see the wonder of Wakulla for themselves. During my last couple of weeks here in Tianjin, Wakulla Springs will again serve as the focal point as I talk about taking risks. Most of the students cannot swim. I will ask them to think about dipping their toes into that fabulous cool water as a sign of courage. It is a great metaphor for what they are going to have to do with their lives once they graduate in a year. And from the other side of the earth, I thank Joe Glisson, Dorothy Routh, Jack Leppert, Crystal Wakoa, Della Parker- Hansen, Jim Stevenson and many others who started this campaign in meetings at the Wakulla Springs Lodge many years ago to get Tallahassee to understand the folly of its sewer treatment plant. Madeleine H. Carr Tianjin, China Editor, The News: Yes, Hugh Taylor is my husband. I love my husband. But I sure didn't like that cartoon. about him (5/14/09). I finally had to take some time to respond. Maybe my husband doesn't care, but I sure do. Is this the first "cartoon" about a private citizen? I don't know, but I think it was a cheap shot, especially consid- ering that my hubby never said what the cartoon had him saying. A reporter origi- nated the term "polarizing" in a news story (4/16/09) gnd my husband and Michael Keys reacted through- the only outlet citizens have-the opinion pages. Besides, by picking on my husband, the cartoon chose an easier target rather than the younger, bet- ter looking, slimmer, healthier and more articulate person, Michael Keys. Here's what my husband said - "Adjectives like 'polariz- ing' are a great way to margin- alize and divert attention from the real issues, so let's keep them on the opinion pages." As he also said, "I guess spot- ted owl season's over and manatee season hasn't yet begun so who you gonna hunt meanwhile? Guess it's the guy going to bat for citizens (Com- missioner Kessler) because the powers-that-be just can't stand to have one of their own suffer the consequences of the law to the same degree as regular citizens would." For the reporter to harp negatively on Dr. Kessler and his supporters, who are private citizens participating in the democratic process, without mention of other commissioners, constitutional officers or their supporters' actions or inactions, foibles or effects on the people, is pretty one sided and does not belong on the news pages. Please consider also the chill- ing effect a "cartoon" would have on some new "citizen commenting on your news articles. Why in the world would any newspaper want to intimidate any citizen voicing their opinion? That's contrary to what a newspaper's sup- posed to be. I look forward to and enjoy reading The Wakulla News. I love the idea of our communi- ty having a weekly newspaper telling us the "happenings" and opinions of the week. But' I would ask that this newspa- per refrain from putting opin- ions in the news reporting. ISure, my husband's fat, but What about the poop? Editor, The Newss I am sure that most every- one has seen the television commercial concerning "dog poop," where the man is spreading some brown goopp" on his face while telling us to dispose of our dog's poop properly. My little town has a dog poop ordinance. I can under- stand picking up my dog's poop if I walk them in the park where other people walk and children play. But what about cats? Do you realize how many wild animals there are out there? Who's picking up their poop? Do horsemen who ride along the bike trail carry a large baggie to pick up their horse poop? What do they do with it after they pick,it up? We put it in our garbage which is picked up and trans- ferred at the landfill. Do they have a special crew that goes through all the garbage to separate the dog poop so it can be disposed of properly? . By the way, what is the proper way to dispose of all this poop? Joan Vaillancourt St. Marks I've been thinking... About sealing wax By MARJ LAW Special to The Wakulla News , On a recent Saturday, I was standing in line at a local fast food establishment. I'd been thinking about sealing wax, and how once upon a time, it made an envelope or document seem important. Several young people were waiting their turn for food, too. I asked them if they used had ever used sealing wax. One of them looked at me blankly. "Why would you put wax on a ceiling?" he asked respectfully and reasonably. The others looked like they agreed with him. Their perplexed expressions made me feel old, old, old. At the risk of sounding like a museum docent, I explained that in the not-so-distant past, people used sealing wax to pre- vent a document or envelope from tampering. They used the wax and stamp to show that the document came from them alone, nobody else. And sometimes, they used it simply for decoration. They melted a bit of wax and used a stamp or ring to make an impression in the quickly-drying blob. The stamp might have repre- sented fancy initials of their names. Names are important. Or maybe the stamp was a small graphic symbolizing a bit of the essence of the sender.

More Letters to the Editor Loss of arts hurts students Editor, The Newss It is so distressing to see what a negative impact our school budget cuts have had on the fine arts programs in Wakulla Coun- ty. When I first starting teaching back in 1983, our county had three elementary schools that employed three full-time music teachers, but had only one art teacher who traveled to all three schools. My first position at Wakulla Middle School was one that combined chorus, band and general music. The high school band director was also teaching chorus and band. I was a choral major in college, but had played in the band throughout high school and college. I could handle teaching all the areas, but I was weakest in band. However, as I continued to teach, band became my true love. I built the band and choral programs up to the point where the numbers justified hiring a second teacher. I chose to stay with band and pass the choral and general music duties on to the new teacher. The high school eventually had a full time choral teacher, too. The similarities between teaching band and chorus draw the line after you get past the part where they both use mu-. sic. They have about as much in common as basketball and football have with each other. They both use a ball and that is about it The choral program was allowed to die out at Wakulla Middle School and was simply never started at Riversprings. This makes it almost impossible to have a thriving choral pro- gram at the high school level. Michelle Snow has been employed as a part-time teacher at the high school teaching two classes of chorus. Her position has now been cut and the new band director, taking Becky Carlan's place, who resigned this year after having a baby, will be expected to fulfill all the band duties and also direct the choral program. This will not be a good sell- ing point for either program and most prospective band directors will shy away from even attempt- ing the job. The number of hours that a high school band director puts in is tremendous and to think of the additional choral responsibilities would be com- pletely overwhelming, Our elementary schools, after finally having full-time art and music teachers at each school, are now sharing those teachers between four schools. I know that we are in hard economic times and I realize that cuts have to be made somewhere, I am upset to see that so many of those cuts are going to be impacting the students of our county at every level where the arts are concerned. Maybe this was a last resort, and maybe there were no other places cuts could have been made. I know that I do not have all the answers where the financial problems lie. What I do know is that when students are involved in the arts, their academic grades go up, their self esteem goes up, their school attendance goes up, and the drop out rate goes down. Are these programs that we can really afford to compromise? I encourage our community to be communicating with our school administrators, our school board members and our superinten- dent that when the financial squeeze. starts to subside, we want these programs to be rein- stated to full-time status. We also need full-time cho- ral programs in both middle schools. If the teacher was there, we would have no problem getting students to sign up for the classes. I am a firm believer that academics must come first, but I also believe that music and the arts are what make our students soar. Laura Hudson Crawfordville Spend it now or spend it later Editor, The News. Once again the county com- missioners have displayed their ignorance and proscrati- nation about an ongoing, worsening problem, the beach erosion at Shell Point. It is not, as Commissioner Mike Stewart said, -"spend- ing $350,000 to save a tree." It is about saving the beach and the pavilion the county recently constructed. The tree is probably saving the pavilion now, and after the tree goes, the pavilion is next in another few years unless something is done to save them. Howiuch didl that pavilion- cost to build? How much will it cost to try and save it when the sand gets washed away from under the concrete pad and no longer supports it? How much will it cost to tear it down and cart it away when it becomes unrepairable or unsafe? The beach serves all the residents of Wakulla County as well as Leon County. It is a prized public recreational area, our own natural resource. How many thousands of local residents come down here to visit the beach instead of driv- ing all the way to St. Joe's or other far away places to relax in the sun, go swimming or go fishing? By letting this situation deteriorate while you engage in rhetoric is a shame for all of us. I would bet that three of the five commissioners never bothered to come down here and even look at the problem. Think how the county com- munity would like it when the beach is no longer as attractive as it is now or becomes unus- -able because of neglect? * A simple low retaining wall of wood or vinyl in front of the tree and the pavilion, support- ed by wooden piles in the sand and then back-filled with sand would be inexpensive, and has served many a homeowner down here as sea walls protect- ing their property for decades. It is nowhere near the cost of what is being promoted. Sea grass could be planted in the area in front of the tree and pavilion to try and hold onto the sand and save them both. A very large group of local residents and the Boy Scouts have volunteered their labor, but have been stymied by various restrictions and procrastination by the com- mission. And where is the sand dredged up from Mashes Sands we were promised weeks ago? It may be lost in red tape and discussion. Meanwhile the beach is being further eroded and washed 'away. And it's cheaper to fix now rather than later when more damage is done and we haven't even had I would push the communi- ty to press for more immediate action by the commissioners instead of listening to them just talk the problem to death once a month. By the time they act on this it will be too late and then we all suffer the consequences. Marc Lipsius Shell Point THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, June 18, 2009 - Page 3A Harry's dishwasher Continued from Page 2A Yay. I clicked on the dish- washer I wanted and put it in my cart. See, I do know what I'm doing. Then I searched for the special offers regard- ing delivery and installation and I was suddenly back to the beginning where it asked me what I wanted to order. I started over again but every time I got to delivery, I was whisked back to the order page. Finally, I just decided to order it and hopefully, my daughter wouldn't have to carry it home on her back and my grandson wouldn't have to install it. The computer liked this decision and zoomed me to my cart. I now had five black dishwashers ordered at an astronomical total price. This Judy Cotriss was a reckless person and certainly had more disposable income than I had. I sat there in stunned silence, wondering what my daughter would do with five dishwash- ers. Then I noticed there was a delete button on each item. I deleted four dishwashers, which the computer did not like and accomplished very slowly. Once I was down to one dishwasher, however, an in- stallation button came up and I clicked on it not knowing if I was getting 'the deal' or not. The computer was pleased and added more cost to my total and then asked for my credit card info. This was a long fight since my credit card was from New York State and I was in Florida and, of course, it was under the name Judy Conlin- not Judy Cotriss. The computer grunted and complained and kept asking questions. Eventu- ally, about midnight, the com- puter gave up and gave me an order number. Happily I went to bed. Next day, I had an e-mail that said, "Dear Harry, Thank you for ordering a dishwasher from us. We need some addi- tional information. Please call the following number and give them the answers to the listed questions." I did not know who Harry was but I had ordered a dish- washer so I called the number. I was on the phone for almost a half hour straightening out all the misinformation and an- swering the questions. At the end of the conversation, the girl said, "Oh, this is the wrong number. I'll connect you to the right number." I remained, on hold listening to music for a lengthy period. Another lady finally answered and said that this was the wrong number, that she would reconnect me to the original number I had called. This time a girl named Aweena answered. We were starting from the beginning once more when my phcnie quit- it's battery finally dead.'I called back on another phofne and got Gloria. Gloria took'all the info.

A document with huge red seal has to be vastly important. People don't use sealing wax anymore. Not very often, any- way. One reason is that people just don't write letters. They type on machines. They send e-mail. E-mail is fast and efficient and makes a point quickly. No envelopes, no stamps and no seal- ing wax are required. No fanfare, either. Now, while I'm thinking about it, probably most of what we have to say doesn't deserve sealing wax. We don't need trumpets to herald our e-mails. . But wouldn't it be some- thing, just once in a while, to want to state a belief or thought so important thatj4t deserves and is worthy of your very own initial in the middle of a big round glisteningired blob of wax?

Continued from Page 1A A Crawfordville woman who gave her name as Tara is adopting Scooby, and was *at the ceremony to. take the dog. She and her husband have had a Labrador and a Dalmatian in the past, she said, before they had children. With two kids now, she said, having the dog already trained is a time-saver. Stephen Barrineau, who works for the Department of Corrections overseeing the program at WCI, said that a lot of what is accomplished with the inmates is socializing the animals. In twice-daily train- ing sessions, prisoners teach the dogs to obey commands such as "sit," "stay" and to recall them quickly when told "no." A lot of what can be accom-' plished in the training of the dogs depends on the individu- al dog's temperament and it's willingness to learn. Barrineau recounted with amusement an exceptional dog at the Taylor Correctional Institution's Paws in Prison that was taught the command "shakedown," and would put his paws up against a wall as though he assuming a search position. Paws in Prison was found- ed by Cathy Sherman nearly a year to the day that this most recent class was graduating, A total of 56 dogs in five classes have graduated from the program, and 60 inmates have worked with the dogs at WCI, Taylor CI, and prisons in Gainesville and Gulf County. After the graduation cer- emony, the inmates walked the dogs in a grassy area as many of the new families introduced themselves to the dogs. One inmate noted that, being in prison, it's apparent that he and other inmates have made mistakes. Paws in Prison, he said, has given him a second chance - like the dogs - to prove he has some- thing worthwhile to offer. Despite the success of the program, it appeared ready to founder after six months. Paws in Prison was initially funded under Citizens for -Humane Animal Treatment, but the bottom fell out around Church News Revival set in Sopchoppy Sopchoppy United Meth- odist Church and Pastor Bob Laidlaw will host a revival on June 26, June 27 and June 28, The Friday and Saturday services will begin at 7 p.m. The Sunday service will be held at 11 a.m. There will be special music and a nursery will be provided.

The church is located at 480 New Light Church Road in Crawfordville. Christmas, said Susan Yelton, former CHAT president. The program found itself with no money and no dogs. Things looked bleak, and that's when Sherman did the work to create Paws in Prison as an entity independent of CHAT, a separate non-profit group. And then she went about fundraising. The $150 adoption fee hard- ly covers the costs for the dogs, with leashes and collars, medications, food and treats. Among the ways the group has raised money is with donations from a music CD called "I Love My Dog," a compilation of dog songs by dog lovers. In August, the group is planning a golf tournament at Wildwood Country Club in Medart. There is also a raffle underway for a Caribbean cruise. Major Larry Massa of the Wakulla County Sheriff's Of- fice was at the graduation ceremony and said he was truly impressed with what the program is doing and offered to help the group with the planned golf tournament. Meanwhile, the incoming class of dogs were already arriving. As the graduating dogs left the prison through the front gate on their new master's leashes, 'they passed by the dogs sitting in crates in a secure area, panting in the shade, being given a second chance.

Continued from Page 1A Principal Daniels and her staff are busy working on promotion and retention in- formation for her students and summer school for those who need it. Teachers need to be hired for summer school and teacher evaluations must be com- pleted. The school must determine who needs remedial help and get student files to Wakulla High School for those students leaving the Wildcats. Daniels and her staff must get the student information for new fifth grade students, make sure the students have their immunizations and schedule classes for the stu- dents who remain at WMS as rising eighth and seventh graders. All this must be done with an eye toward meeting class size reduction goals and know- ing more teachers will need to be hired. Daniels has been an educa- tor for 30 years. This should be simple. However, state budget uncertainty has kept her from attempting to hire new teach- ers early in the summer. Those hirings will come later when administration has a better view of what dollars the dis- trict will be able to spend. "We know we will need some more teachers," said Daniels. "But I can't hire until I know how many kids are go- ing to be here. I need to help Mike as much as I can because we don't have an assistant principal on hand." Down the hall from Daniels, Barwick and Myhre are work- ing on their own projects. Summer is also a time for school maintenance projects, textbook counting and acquir- ing of new materials. A native of Cortland, N.Y., Daniels lived in New Jersey before moving to St. Peters- burg with her parents. She discovered Wakulla County and Tallahassee through her experiences at Florida State University. Daniels was a physical science teacher at Wakulla High School when Stokley came calling for the opening of WMS, "I was impressed with how the school was going to op- erate," she said. "The team teaching concept was very intriguing to me." The first year at WMS fea- tured just sixth and seventh graders as the eighth grade class moved to WHS, The War Eagles school had served stu- dents in seventh through 12th grade until WMS opened. WHS was eighth through 12th grade in 1980 and became ninth through 12 the following year. Mary Whitesell and Daniels were team teachers at WMS in 1980. "It was a fun experience," said Daniels. District officials were at- tempting to find the "best way to meet the needs of middle school students," said Daniels and the WMS model school became a fixture for officials visiting from other counties to see how Wakulla County was doing it. Even today, Daniels travels to speak in other dis- tricts about the WMS teaching concept. Deborah Randle opened WMS with Daniels as a physi- cal education teacher and Jackie Barber joined the custo- dial staff the first year as well, Myhre was on board during opening day but has served the district in other capacities since. He retired and returned to the district, a move that opened the door for Daniels to become principal. Wakulla Middle School had approximately 275 students on opening day in 1980 and hit a maximum of 1,105 just prior to the opening of Riversprings Middle School in 2000. WMS counted 562 students during the 2008-2009 school year. Daniels had a difficult time deciding it was time to retire. "I love the kids and the teach- ers," she said, "This is a fabu- lous faculty. But it takes long hours to do this and my family needs me," It is clear that Daniels' two grandsons have a special place in her heart. She has pictures of her daughter's children in her office. She has also saved every one of the middle school yearbooks published since the first year. Husband Lloyd continues to work a class at Wakulla High School. He had some difficulty with cancer after retiring from WHS, but is feeling better, she said. Students who were taught by Lloyd Daniels still talk of their fondness for him. Several of his former students have returned to teach in Wakulla County themselves. Jo Ann also has her mother living nearby and can help her when needed. The Daniels family totals five children. She laughs when the topic turns to her children. "Everybody knows about them," she chuck- les and moves on to another topic. Son-in-law' Bill Taylor is also a Wakulla County educa- tor at Riversprings. Continuity has helped Wakulla Middle School score mostly "A" grades although a few "B" grades were sprinkled in before the state altered the way schools were graded. "A" schools could only get to a certain point before they fell to a "B" under the old state grading rules, The seven day periods al- low students to take part in other activities and find things that interest them as they pre-, pare for high school. Leadership opportunities, hobbies, computers and art, could turn a child's life around, said Daniels. Sports helps- teamwork, cooperation and, sportsmanship. "We are building skills that allow the student to be a bet- ter employee and be more suc- cessful later in life," she added. "Middle school needs to have a nurturing environment." Daniels said she hopes to do some traveling, although her end of the year hectic schedule hasn't allowed her to even think about her retire- ment yet. Activities with her mother and grandchildren are, high on the potential list. "My kids got to go through Wakulla County schools and they had great teachers and now it is exciting to see these kids grow up and do well.1t is so exciting. It has been a good county to raise kids in." Tax sale Continued from Page 1A The county receives the amount of money generated from individual certificate sales immediately while money from parcels being struck off to the county is collected when the certificate is redeemed or the parcel is sold. The 2007 sale had 1,640 parcels sold to individuals and 46 struck off to the county com- pared to 1,871 sold to individu- als this year and 553 struck off to the county. The 2009 sale had 67 regis- tered bidders, but only 34 indi- viduals actually bid. The 2008 sale had 53 registered certificate buyers, but only 25 actually won parcels in the bidding process, said Craze. The tax collector's of- fice will send out a letter later in the summer informing property owners of their parcels being in- volved in the tax certificate sale. Property owners can redeem their parcels by calling the tax collector's office at 926-3371. Taxpayers have two years to redeem the parcels once they ''-.

After two years, the individual who purchased the certificate can begin the process of actually acquiring the parcel By the seventh year, the certificate holder must pursue the tax deed. The tax collector's office noti- fies the property owner by mail that the applicant is attempting to acquire a tax deed to their property. A title search is done to determine if there are any outstanding liens against the property. At the end of the process, if the property owner hasn't redeemed the property, it is ad- vertised for public auction.

"That's absurd," Kessler said when told of the "Swiftboating" claim. He said all numbers he used in his presentation were numbers taken from the group's own management plan. "They claim the figures are exaggerated and it's their figures I'm using," Kessler said. "That's really not fair." Lesh was an original founder of Florida Foresight, the group which is to manage and oversee the museum project. Lowrie is the executive director of the group. "'Swiftboating' - a public rela- tions term coined during recent national election campaigns - utilizes misinformation, dis- tortions, divisiveness, and un- founded allegations to discredit and defeat an opponent," says the information sheet. "During the past few weeks, Wakulla County has seen its own ver- sion of 'Swiftboating' aimed at sinking the Big Bend Maritime Center project." Among the statements made by Kessler that the sheet claims are not true is that the county will have to pay back millions of dollars if the project fails'; that upkeep on the property will cost $40,000 a year; and that going ahead with the Maritime Museum will leave other county projects, such as a swimming pool, equestrian center and heritage village, in jeopardy to not be funded by the state. Lowrie and Lesh's sheet also claims that a past grant applica- tion to develop what would be on display, in the museum "was withdrawn unilaterally by Commissioner Kessler the day before the state ranked the grants, without prior consulta- tion with' Florida Foresight or other commissioners." � Kessler said that never hap- pened, that he cannot "unilater- ally" do anything. Rather, he said, he did question if the grant application had been properly approved by the full board. Prior applications, had not come be- fore the commission for a full vote and staff discovered that proper procedures weren't being followed. Both sides agree, that Vice- Chairman George Green signed the grant application. Lowrie said that's the way things had been done in the past: the board had voted in previous years to support the project, and maybe they should have brought each year's grant application to the full board. Kessler said it was typical of how things have been done with the project: He was out-of- town and the museum group pushed the grant application un- der Green's nose and said it had to be signed right away. When . he found out proper procedures weren't being followed, he said he may have let staff at Depart- Sment of Environmental Protec- tion know that the application hadn't been properly approved. That doesn't constitute any "uni- lateral" action, Kessler said. A chain of e-mails within moment to thank our board members and our many vol- unteers who spend their time helping at our adoption center on a regular basis. I cannot thank you enough for your help caring for the animals, social- izing, cleaning, entering data, bookkeeping, helping with the phones and the adoption process, making home visits, helping with off-site adoptions and fundraisers, writing manu- county administration, dated .Dec. 4, 2008, indicates county Grants Director Eva Thorpe notified her supervisor, Assis- tant County Administrator Tim Barden, of the lack of full board approval for the grant applica- tion, and noted it was the eve of the ranking process. Barden e-mailed County Administrator Ben Pingree about the problem, and Pingree e-mailed DEP the same day asking that the grant be withdrawn since it hadn't fol- lowed required protocols. "Please ... be aware that it is county policy that ALL grants, without exception, must go through the Board of County Commissioners in a public meeting for approval as our county's governing body," Pin- gree wrote to a DEP official in an e-mail copied to commissioners. "I am concerned that this task was apparently not adhered to in this case ... "However well-intended, the application before you is not in an appropriate posture and I reiterate my request that it not be considered at present,". Pingree wrote. Lowrie and Lesh said that if, in a worse case scenario, Florida Foresight gives up and the mu- seum never happens, the county would not be on the hook to pay back the money to purchase the museum site, it would simply revert back to the state. Under the proposed grant through Florida Communities Trust, the money to purchase the bayfront property would come from the state and would be put in the county's name. One of the main numbers Lowrie and Lesh claim are ex- aggerated are the costs to the county for maintenance and upkeep of the two unoccupied homes once purchased through a grant from Florida Communi- ties Trust. Kessler in his presenta- tion said those costs would be $40,000 a year for the three years that the buildings are sit- ting vacant. No so, claim Lowrie and Lesh, who estimate the costs to be in the range of about $12,000 a year. "I'm looking at their plan," Kessler said, citing costs of $36,880 a year for annual mainte- nance, $2,160 for security lights and monitoring, and $2,000 a year for insurance on the two houses. That totals $41,400. "If they're saying I exagger- ated ,the numbers, these are the numbers in their plan," Kessler said. If the claim is that county staff exaggerated the estimates for maintenance that Florida Foresight put into their plan, then the group should have objected to those numbers. The figures on salaries cited by Kessler in his presentation were also taken from the group's plan, he said, adding that Lowrie had submitted new numbers to him on Monday, June 15, regard- ing employees and salaries at the museum. Those numbers totaled $338,000 over the first three years. Kessler's presenta- tion had actually been lower, calculated at $200,000 total for GEO-ENERGY Since 1985 CERTIFIED DEALER FOR: SMacCLEAN� WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS * SALES & SERVICE * COMPLETE LINE OF EQUIPMENT 8?

At the same time, Kessler emphasized that he did not want the issue to be made out as him against the museum. His concerns are of the county's liability, he said, not something personal. That it's something personal with Kessler is exactly the im- pression Lowrie and Lesh give. They point to Kessler's Pow- erPoint he presented at the board's last meeting on June 2. No one was forewarned what was going to happen, and members of Florida Foresight were unprepared to answer questions. (The. issue actually on the agenda was what to do about the costs of repairs to the home before the scheduled closing. Ultimately, that matter was re- solved with a motion to require the homeowner to pay for the repairs and submit to a followup home inspection, which passed 4-1 with Kessler voting in sup- port with the majority. A vote he stressed at the time was not a vote for the museum project.) "If Maxie had done that to Kessler several years ago, he would have gone beserk," Low- rie said, referring to former Com- missioner Maxie Lawhon, who Control and the veterinarians at Wakulla, Shepherd Spring and Crawfordville Animal Hos- pitals for special and often free services for our animals. Christy Noftz did a wonder- ful job organizing our recent annual yard sale. Volunteers helped set up until way after dark and returned between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. for the sale. We very much appreciated the tents donated for use by was a political foil to Kessler. Kessler responded that he totally disagreed with the char- acterization, and indicated sur- prise that Florida Foresight was unprepared to answer questions. "Who's going to know that plan better than themselves?" he asked. Lowrie said the ultimate goal of the museum is that it be self-supporting, paying its own way through admissions, gift shop sales, memberships and fundraising. The information sheet from Florida Foresight includes an admonition that, "If the county agrees to go forward (with the museum project), all commis- sioners, including Commis- sioner Kessler, must be totally supportive. The road ahead, especially for fundraising, will be difficult enough with con- tinued negative publicity and comments that feed divisive- ness and distort reality." In bold typeface, boxed, the sheet concludes that Florida Foresight needs assurance from the county commission of its complete support for the de- velopment of the museum and will work collaboratively with Florida Foresight in the imple- mentation of the management plan.

Thank you Wakulla County We are very grateful for every helping hand. I do not want to slight our other volun- teers, but I would like to give special thanks to one person in particular- Heide Clifton. If you know anything about the for- mer Wakulla County Humane Society, now known as CHAT, you know Heide, or you have at least heard the name. Heide has been active with the old Wakulla Humane Soci- ety and later with CHAT since the early 1990s, serving as president numerous years and treasurer for 13 long years. Vol- unteers come and go, but not Heide. Not only is she still very involved with all of the tasks mentioned above, Heide is also very well known through CHAT's biggest fundraiser each year, her annual Rose Sale. This is a very involved undertaking and Heide has been holding this fundraiser for 13 years now. Each year roughly 700 cut- tings are taken from plants and planted in three gallon contain- ers and then placed under a misting system for six weeks. After roots are established the plants are grown for one year and have to be tended to on a regular basis. We can only imagine how-imuch time and: effort goes4ihto this. This year's rose sale earned about $4,000," all of which goes toward the care of our shelter animals. My.' hlat is off to you Heide for yo t dedication, and staying on task* through good times and bad,, All the hard work, dedica- tion and generosity of our vol- unteers, members and donors throughout the years paid off.

State suggests summer reading In-celebration of World En- vironment Day, the Florida De- partment of Education (DOE) and' the Florida Departmint of. Environmental Protection (DEP) announced a recommended summer reading list that pro- motes the beauty and adventure found in many of Florida's natu- ral wonders. Selections in the list provide a focus on Florida's State Parks but also offer information about oth- er unique ecological settings. "Students can continue their learning in fun ways by read- ing about and exploring our state parks during the summer months," said Education Com- missioner Dr. Eric J. Smith. "I encourage families to take the time to celebrate Florida's rich and, diverse backdrop through literacy; not only this summer, but throughout the year." In addition to the summer reading list, DEP's recently launched Rediscover Florida - 100 Ways in 100 Days campaign encqpurages families to enhance theik Florida "discovery" experi- ence. The Rediscover Florida effort aims to increase aware- ness of all the activities Florida's public lands offer - from the traditional (hiking, biking, and camping) to the unique (festivals, historic reenactments and muse- ums). Visitors to the Rediscover Florida web site can explore an interactive list of 100 activities anditrack how many of the activi- ties.they can complete. '4Summer is the perfect time for students to expand their literary horizons and become engaged in protecting the envi- ronment by reading about the outdoors," said DEP Secretary Michael W. Sole. "By promoting literature focused on Florida's di- verse natural resources, we hope to harness students' interest in environmental stewardship and academic success." Research indicates that chil- dren, who do not continue to read during the summer months risk losing progress made during the school year. . To help families get started on their summer learning and exploring experience, the sum- mer reading list offers selections such as: - Read Henry the Impatient Heron by Donna Love and visit Anastasia State Park in St Augus- tine (grades K-3). * Read Island of the Blue Dol- phins by Scott O'Dell and visit Long Key State Park in Long Key (grades 4-5). - Read John James Audubon: The Making of an American by Richard Rhodes and visit Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park in Tallahassee (grades 6-8). * Read The Everglades, River of Grass by Marjorie Stoneman Douglas and visit the Everglades at Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park in Copeland (grades 9-12).

Motion to suppress Continued from Page 1A Assistant State Attorney' Jack Campbell contended it was just good police work, and Wakulla Circuit Judge N. Sanders Sauls agreed, finding that deputies had acted with a reasonable, founded suspicion in stopping the car. Late at night on Aug. 27, 2008, a 26-year-old man, man- ager of a.Tallahassee grocery store, arrived at his Wakulla Gardens home. It had rained that evening, and as the man began to enter his door, he heardca splashing sound of someone running up behind him. His attacker grabbed him and tried to force him inside. The man fought off the attacker, who was wearing a ski mask, while yelling for his wife, who was inside the home, to call 911. She did, and Deptity Jeremy Johnston, who was close to the scene, was dispatched. According to his testimony at the hearing, Deputy John- -ston said that as he drove to the home on Paulette Drive, a source of light caught his eye - possibly the dome light from a car interior - and then the car turned onto Lower Bridge Road and the headlights came on. He could not see the oc- cupants of the vehicle, but called-in a BOLO (Be On the LookOut) for the black car. Deputy Robert Giddens caught up to the vehicle and stopped it within a few mrin- utes of Johnston's call. Shift supervisor Sgt. Eddie Wester arrived on the scene and the two officers found ski masks, a pistol, duct tape and cotton gloves inside the car. The three men - Anthony Keel, 23, Cory Carroll, 27, and Korey Cole, 23 - were subse- quently linked to as many of 30 robberies in the Tallahassee area in which managers of lo- cal businesses were kidnapped and forced to provide access to the men. In this case, a girl- Sfriend of one of the suspects had been an employee at the victim's grocery store until she was fired. At the motion hearing, at- torneys for the men argued that deputies lacked sufficient cause or information to have made the traffic stop. Deputy Johnston testified that he would have called-in any car he had seen on the road that night - pointing out thartn 'was'-rtirly midnight on a Wednesday night, not a time of high traffic in the Wakulla Gardens neighborhood. Not that the occupants of the car were necessarily involved in any criminal activity, but they might have information, he said. He admitted that he made the call prior to arriving at the home and getting any information from the victims that would have pointed to the men in the car as possible sus- pects. From dispatch, Johnston had been given a description of the attacker as a black male in black clothes, six feet to six- feet-two, with a thin build. (I Passing the black car that he saw pull onto Lower Bridge, Johnston said he could not see how many people were in the car. He said several times in his testimony that recruits are taught in law enforcement academy to notice anytime someone or something is leav- ing the scene of a crime. Deputy Giddens, now a detective, said that he stopped the car on Lower Bridge based on Johnston's BOLO, unaware of how many people were inside. Sgt. Wester remembered the detail of two of the three men were sweating profusely. The men told the officers. Wester said, that they were lost driving around looking for a friend's house. They later allegedly admitted to the planned home invasion. Because of the wet ground, officers traced footprints going to and from the victim's home to the area where Johnston saw the vehicle pull onto Low- er Bridge Road. Crime Scene Investigators later confirmed that the tracks matched shoes the men were wearing. The three men are charged with attempted kidnapping to facilitate a felony with a fire- arm, attempted burglary of a dwelling armed with a firearm, and attempted armed robbery - which, if convicted, are pun- ishable by life in prison. The men are represented by attorneys Adam Ruiz. Eliza- beth Peskin-and Christopher O'Neal.

NT Page 10A - THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, June 18, 2009 Fishing in the heat and waiting for the scallops From The Dock .-: ,'* BY CAPT. JODY CAMPBELL We were out of town until �Sunday afternoon, but under- 'stand it was a nice weekend w:jith typical sea breezes in the 'afternoon. We came home and crossedd the Wakulla River and there must have been 40 cars .,and trucks with trailers parked along Highway 98. At the fort, -it was the same. Trucks parked ,along the side of the road all the way to the stop sign. The big thing on people's minds right now is scallops. The season opens July 1 and everyone wants to know if they are here. Allan Hobbs said one of his guides saw some a couple of weeks ago down around Gray Mare Rock. I talked to them June 15 and they aren't hearing much.

Let's keep our fingers crossed and I would love to tell you next week that they are plenti- ful at St. Marks. Tammy at Jerry's Bait and Tackle said they were extremely busy last weekend. She said it's about time to break out the Gulps and your other favorite artificial lures because shrimp are starting to get scarce. The folks at Keaton Beach are al- ready having a hard time catch- ing shrimp and it always hap- pens this time of year. Once they quit catching them, it won't be until the middle of August before they become plentiful again and those will be very small. Tammy said plenty of cobia are still being caught around the buoys out of St. Marks and around Wakulla Beach and off the beach at Shell Point using live pinfish. This Happy first birthday was the Hands Helping Anglers weekend and Steve Goodwin, Steve Stinson, Calvert Durden and James Johnson participat- ed. Calvert Durden landed a 17.5 pound cobia and was all smiles. Alex Figueras and Nick Breeze fished near the Lighthouse and caught some nice trout using live shrimp. Mike Hopkins at Lanark said they had another very good weekend and lots of grouper were brought in. Most fish were being caught out in 100 feet of, water, but this weekend the magic depth was 60 to 65 feet. Plenty of nice catches of grou- per, amberjack and red snapper were brought in. Todd Ander- son from Georgia fished in 100 feet of water and got their limit of red grouper and red snapper, but didn't catch any black or gag grouper. Trout fishing slowed down a little last weekend and most trout were caught on the Gulf Side of the Lanark Reef in four to seven feet of water. Plenty of Spanish are still being caught and the most productive area was around the East End of Dog Island Reef. Red fishing continues to be as good as it has been with the docks and Gulf side of Dog Island being the most productive spots. David Dietz of Boston, Ma. fished at the mouth of the Ochlockonee River and caught some nice trout and saw lots of Spanish Mackerel jumping out of the water. Mark and Louise Prance fished Friday morning and caught four nice Spanish and three flounder. They used mud minnows on the bot- tom. Mike Pearson from Tifton fished on Friday morning and limited out on trout and on Saturday went back with his son, Keaton and some friends from Tifton, and caught about 16 trout. Everything was caught on very small pinfish. Keaton also landed a cobia that was 32 V2 inches long that they released. Father's Day weekend is coming up and that means the Big Bend Saltwater Fish- ing Classic. The tournament was started in 1989 by a group of avid anglers, including Dr. Quill Turk of Panacea, to help put artificial reefs off our coast to improve offshore fishing and diving. It has grown from a tournament of 223 anglers to a tournament averaging more than 700 anglers each year. This is a great time to take the kids fishing before it just gets too hot. With fishing like it is right now there should be some nice fish caught. Headquarters will again be the Carrabelle Boat Club. Remember to take those kids fishing and be careful out there. Don't forget that float plan and I hope to see you on the water. Good luck and good fishing] , By ETHEL SKIPPER Sunday is Father's Day, a time to show great love and respect to your father.

I was told that the fishing was good. I had to agree after peeking into my neighbor's ice chest when they returned from a three hour fishing trip. Saturday night was Flotilla 13's meeting. Attendance was small, but large enough for a quorum, and that is what is important. Present were Flotilla Commander and Vice Commander, Mae Water and John Sykes, John Edrington, Jim McGill, Bob Morgan, James Taylor, your reporter, our three honorary members, Helen Branan, Dorothy Edrington and Ouida McGill, and a guest, Mary Taylor, daughter of James and Edith Taylor. Edith is our secretary and as she was out of town, she asked Mary to take the minutes for her. Mary is very special to us as we have had the joy of watching her and her sister, Amy, grow up, They both were quite young when their parents joined the Auxiliary in Novem- ber 1995. The meeting was devoted primarily to finalizing plans for the Fourth of July fundraising activities, all at our Shell Point Auxiliary Station, There will be a pancake breakfast from 8 a.m. to.10 a.m. The First Patriotic Golf Cart Parade will begin at noon. There will be "delightful" priz- es. Mae Waters has hinted that* there will be stiff competition. The award ceremonies should be fun, but that isn't until after the ice cream social from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Not part of the fundraising, but definitely a wonderful ad- dition to the celebration, are the Apalachee Bay Yacht Club dinghy races off the beach after the parade. From 4 p.m, to 4:30 p.m., the golf cart parade award ceremo- nies will be held, The Apalachee Bay Volun- teer Fire and Rescue Depart- ment is going to host their fundraiser immediately follow- ing the Coast Guard Auxiliary's. For the convenience of the customers it will be held under the Auxiliary Station from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Hamburgers and hot dogs will be on sale along with soft drinks. Then, to top off a wonder- ful day, some time after "Dark Thirty" there will be fireworks on the beach. Carolyn Treadon has Flotilla 12 news: We all know how the song starts, "Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, A tale of a fateful trip, That, started from this tropic port, Aboard this tiny ship."

Treadon along with coxswain Tim Ashley set out after 6 p.m. .Friday for an evening patrol to verify the navigation aids in our channel. We had been warned that the winds were high and the forecast of one to two foot seas was not quite ac- curate. We all agreed we would venture out and do as much as possible. We know from our training that we should always side with caution. Once we left the Fort and were in the main river, it was apparent how strong the cur- rent was and the wind was equally daunting. It was not until we rounded the curve by the lighthouse that we were aware that the one to two foot seas were becoming two to three foot seas. All aboard were still feeling good and were determined to carry on. So far all was looking good with the Aids to Navigation, however we were more then a bit dampl As we approached the Bird's Roost the waves began to creep into three to four footers and by the Center Channel Marker we even encountered a few sets of four to five footers. Needless to say, we were not staying out there to wait for dusk. After returning to calmer waters, we waited for the lights to come , on and completed our patrol before total darkness. As luck would have it, by the time we were completing our patrol, the winds had died and the seas were smooth as glass. But if it had been that way to begin with, this would not have been such an interesting story. To end it all, as we were securing the boat and gear, a small baby snake greeted us and we all moved just a bit quicker. We are happy to report that everything was in good condition in the channel with only minor concerns on a few buoys missing reflective tape or caked with some heavy bird droppings.: I loved Carolyn's closing remarks, "That is all I have for this week. I had fun writing this one, almost as much fun as I had on the patrol." The Wakulla County Sheriff's Office Training Coordinator Lt. Fred Nichols recently taught the CPR course for Flotilla 12 members. One of most fascinating addition to the course was the Automated External Defibril- lator or AED. With traditional CPR, a victim has a one in 10 chance of survival, however with an AED the rate increases to 8 in 10. REMEMBER SAFE BOATING IS NO ACCIDENT. N. Y. Times Continued from Page 1A It costs more to heat a home, and creates more greenhouse gases, than cooling a home, and some critics argue that the money would be more effectively spent in cold climates. SThe article quotes Ben- nett Johnston, a Democratic senator from Louisiana, countering that more peo- ple die from extreme heat than extreme cold. "As Florida's weather: ization money climbs to $176 million over the next couple of years, from $5 million this year, the scene that played out recently at Jessica Langston's dou- ble-wide mobile home in Crawfordville is likely to become more common," the story says, and describes fiberglass insulation being pumped into small holes bored in the metal roof, tinted film being put on tlhe windows, and metal ducts having been re-sealed. - There is a photo of Robin Dias, the weatherization coordinator for Wakulla County, using a fan to look for air leaks in Langston's home, and a quote from Dias about there being no trouble to find contractors to do the weatherization work since the housing market collapsed. "When everything was going so good, I couldn't hardly get nobody," Dias is quoted as saying. "But since the drop - oh man, I've got a list of contractors."

Or whether it covers development activities permitted before that date. Code Enforcement Board member Kathy Shirah, who was on the commit- tee that developed the ordinance, said it was intended that the ordinance would apply to new subdivisions, not to exist- ing lots. Shirah suggested that the board hold in abeyance any pending wetlands viola- tions until the county commission has blad a chance to revise it That motion was rejectedby the code board members, who expressed two major concerns- that resi- dents charged with violations have been issued cease-and-desist letters that pro- hibit them from continuing to work on their land, which is creating controversy about the county taking property rights; and the second concern was advice from County Attorney Ron Mowrey that even if the county commission revises the ordi- nance, it will not be retroactive to the date of those cases currently pending. Mowrey issued an opinion two weeks ago that wetlands cases against County Commission Chairman Howard Kessler, Ronald Fred Crum, and Larry and Patricia Tucker all be dropped since the wetlands in question are artificial and were in existence prior to May 2006. - Kessler was cited for mowing within 75 feet of a pond on his Panacea property. Last week, he indicated that he viewed Mowrey's letter as a vindication that he had done nothing wrong, even as he questioned Mowrey's political motives in the whole matter. Kessler had brought allegations of wetlands violations by Crum to Code Enforcement and Crum responded with a tit-for-tat complaint against Kessler alleg- ing the commissioner was also in viola- tion. Crum went so far as to pay for aerial photographs of Kessler's property, Crum reportedly has a state permit is- sued in 2005 to create duck ponds on his property, which is adjacent to the wildlife refuge. For the past six months, Crum has had a cease-and-desist order against him from code enforcement staff which has prevented him from getting building permits from the county planning de- partment to build a new home. (Further adding to claims of political machinations is that Crum's current bayside home, and that of his daughter, is under contract to be purchased through a state grant to create the Big Bend Maritime Museum. Kessler has been outspoken in his opposi- tion to the purchase because of concerns that the county may ,.ot receive grants to, complete the museuki and would be on the hook to possibly have to pay back millions of dollars. Crum claims Kessler's opposition is entirely personal) Christopher Lunny, the attorney rep- resenting Crum, asked the Code Enforce- ment Board to at least lift the cease-and- desist against his client He questioned whether county staff even has the statu- tory authority to issue a cease-and-desist order for wetlands violations. Mowrey responded he had also not found any specific authorization for the. code enforcement officer to issue a cease- and-desist order for a wetlands violation. But, he added, there is authority if the code inspector has reason.to believe the activity presents a health hazard or would cause irreversible harm. Mowrey suggested that in such cases, the code enforcement board should hold an emer- gency hearing within 24 hours. Mowrey said he was concerned that staff was taking actions that af- fected property rights without any kind of evidence being presented to the code board. Code Enforcement Board Chairman Ron Piasecki asked Mowrey if the board had the authority to issue an order direct- ing staff to lift the cease-and-desist Yes, Mowrey answered, the board can issue whatever order it wanted. Piasecki suggested in later comments that the board has no control over county staffs authority to issue cease-and-desist orders - and suggested that was a matter for consideration by county administra- tion, not the code board. Attorney David Kemp, who is repre- senting the Tuckers, presented what he said was a permit for clearing activities that the Tuckers got from the county in February 2004. He echoed comments made by Lunny and expressed his own concerns about "property taking" by the county - which is, of course, grounds for a claim of damages from the county ifthe matter should go to court In the case already in court, Routa filed a lengthy brief with attached exhibits contending that the wetlands ordinance is unclear. He notes that the ordinance prohibits clearing or. construction ac- tivities within the wetlands or wetland buffer zones, but offers no definition of what a wetland buffer zone is. In another part of the ordinance, a buffer is described under a section called Design Standards that requires an undisturbed natural, buffer at least 75 feet wide to be maintained around the perimeter of any wetland., "Thus the buffer is a design standard," Routa writes, "and how does a citizen violate the provisions of a design standard? For instance, is mowing a lawn in someone's front yard a violation of a design standard?" The entire Log Creek property had been maintained as a lawn, Routa said, adding that the whole tract had been mowed within the last five years. "More recently, there wasn't a lot of grass to mow because the donkeys were feeding and would eat the grass." Routa also claims in the brief that there was political animus against Log Creek as evidenced by an e-mail exchange ,- between a citizen and Chairman Kes- sler, who indicated he forwarded the e-mail to other concerned citizens, and that the date of the e-mail exchange coincides with the date the complaint was received. At a meeting with a reporter from The News, Kessler and citizen Vic Lambou, who served on the committee that draft- ed the wetlands ordinance, contended that Kessler had never filed a complaint against Crum, but had merely taken concerns from Panacea residents about Crum's activities to code enforcement But an e-mail subsequently obtained by The News, written by Kessler to As- sistant County Administrator Lindsay Stevens, the commissioner wrote of "what appears to be massive violations of our wetlands ordinance." Kessler suggested "the extent (of the violations) is massive and reminds me of the Tide Creek violations"-referring to a development that was later corrected. On Monday, June 15, Crum received a letter from Code Enforcement advising him that the cease-and-desist had been lifted, but the violation hearing set for July 8 was still going forward.

"This is significant legisla- tion for Florida Agriculture and the people of the State of Florida," said Rep. Bernm- bry. "The passage of this legislation means Florida will be able to access criti- cal resources to respond to plant pests and diseases on a timely basis-and do so while the threats are still confined to a smaller area with less potential devastation." The Interstate Pest Control Compact is made up of 37 agriculture producing states that share resources to com- bat plant pest infestations. The new law will insure Florida can continue to par- ticipate in and benefit from the multi-state compact. More resources will be available sooner to support an effort to prevent the spread of plant pest infestations. "We can now do a better job of protecting our agri- culture and environmental resources. This is a big win for our Florida farmers and growers," said Representative Bembry. "I am proud of the work we put in to passing this important legislation. We made sure that the Florida Legislature knew how critical this was to our agricultural community and I am grateful for their unanimous support," exclaimed Representative Bembry. Governor Charlie Crist signed the legislation in a ceremony attended by Repre- sentative Bembry and Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson. The bill goes into effect on July 1.

Boyd can help with television " U.S. Congressman Allen Boyd (D-North Florida) an- nounced that on June 12, all full-power television stations completed the transfer to en- tirely digital programming. In 2005, Congress passed legislation that requires this transfer to digital broadcast- ing to help modernize our communications systems and free up the bandwidth that many emergency services and radio stations use in North Florida. To facilitate this transfer, Congress created the TV Con- verter Box Coupon Program. This coupon program is 'available for all households who watch television on an analog set that is not con- nected to cable,. satellite, or other similar pay television services. "As we pass the deadline for television stations to con- vert to digital broadcast, I urge all families in North Florida to make sure their television sets are equipped for this switch," said Congressman Boyd. "If you have any questions about this transfer, please do not hesitate to contact my Talla- hassee office for assistance." Each U.S. household can receive up to two coupons for $40 each. In order to receive these coupons you can apply online at www.dtv.gov or call 1-888- CALLFCC (1-888-225-5322).

Over the years, FWMA has heavily invested in our area youth by participating and running a number of pro- grams. One of the best and most successful of these programs is the Student Work Program. This program gives students, ages 16 and older, the opportunity to earn money while gaining hands-on experience working with wildlife. The program is so successful most of the kids stay through high school and into college and many enter animal/ ecology-related careers. At one time, FWMA em- ployed as many as 10 students working part-time hours after school and weekends. Funding cuts have resulted in the loss of several positions and hours and FWMA now has only six part- time students. These students work about 80 hours per week, making up more than half of the FWMA's payroll hours. With Wakulla High; School, FWMA has participated in a number of programs including the Learn and Serve Program. Grants are provided for the kids to come to the facility to design and implement work projects. FWMA also works with the Bright Futures Scholarship Program by allowing students to work the community service hours needed to fulfill the schol- arship requirements. Kids from the ESE Program come to FWMA for Work Days and Career Shad- owing and FWMA has hosted many projects and work days for the ROTC program. The Green Guide Girls is a program currently offered through TCC in which girls ages 14 to 18 are given the opportunity to learn about our environment by visiting and completing proj- ects at various locations through- out Wakulla County. FWMA has been proud to host these young women and looks forward to being able to continue to partici- pate in this program. Zookeeper Apprentice, a sum- mer camp program through the Tallahassee Museum, brings the kids participating in their pro- grams out to FWMA for a day of work, learning and fun. FWMA also works with the Juvenile Justice Program by providing the opportunity for kids to perform their community service hours in a healthy and educational environment. Many -of these kids have returned as volunteers after their hours were served. In addition to the many op- portunities offered to the youth in our area, Education Director Rob Barrett has been very ac- tive in the community with the FWMA Education Booth. Travel- ing with several of the FWMA Education Animals, he has at- tended most of the festivals this spring giving visitors the chance to see some of our wildlife up dose and personal. Also attend- ing private functions, classrooms and meetings, Rob has added entertainment to education and continues to share his passion and expertise within and around our community. Education and outreach are just two of many facets of Florida Wild Mammal Association. Since its inception in 1994, FWMA has not only been a place which res- cues, rehabilitates and releases our local wildlife, it has also been a place of sanctuary. Most of the animals that come to the center are, after specialized care and recovery time, able to be released, but some have injuries which prevents this. FWMA provides an option to death for these animals by offering sanctuary in a safe en- vironment. They either become permanent residents at the Edgar Poole Road facility or are transported to other facilities across the state to be used as Education Animals. Some of the permanent residents require special permits ,from the state and federal government; which FWMA has applied for, received and keeps on file. As with any non-profit orga- nization,. and especially during these difficult economic times, the need for funds is on-going and never-ending. FWMA has no goods or services to sell or offer, so raising funds to cover the ever-increasing cost to operate the facility is a challenge with no end. Even operating with a skel- eton crew and making every cut possible, there are still items that must be purchased on a weekly or biweekly basis. The food re- quired to feed the owls, hawks, eagles and osprey has increased dramatically. Just 12 months ago FWMA could purchase five bags of raptor food for $100. Today, the cost is three bags for $105. Depending on the number of big birds in the facility at any given time - which can be 15 to 20, this can add up to more than $500 a month. Bait fish adds up easily to that as well Dry feed' has increased from about $250 to just over $380. A weekly trip to a big box store to get dean- ing supplies, cat and dog food, canned and fresh fruit and other ' needed items has increased over'. the last year from about $160 to, more than $220. The costs'of medical supplies, medications andformulas have also increased in price, and these are all items that a rescue and rehabilitation,. center cannot do without. * While volunteers do make up a large part of the FWMA work ' force, it is the skilled FWMA Staff K that keeps the facility running effectively. Approximately 150 payroll hours, with well over half going to the student employees, is paid out weekly to a total of nine part-time employees. Even though the facility is located at- the personal residence of Execu- tive Director Chris Beatty and is a 24 hour a day job, she receives no salary. Beatty counts herself' as one of the 'volunteers. A small group of dedicated volunteers try to help keep do- nations coming into the center by grant-writing and creating new and fundraising events; from arts and crafts fairs in the spring and fall to online essay contests. Bingo to benefit the animals happens every Thursday night at Hamaknockers Oasis in, Panacea and FWMA has yard sales twice a year. There is also a photo contest, Christmas tree sales and the Second Annual WoodStork Music Festival and Silent Auction. A list of events and dates can be found on the FWMA web site at www.wakullawildlife.org. Page 4B - THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, June 18, 2009 105 Business Opportuni- ties �ALL CASH VENDING!

NOAA predicts nine to 14 named storms, four to seven hurricanes and one to three intense, Category 3, 4, or 5 hurricanes. Even if the least of all these predictions becomes a.reality, Florida may find itself financially devastated should these storms take aim at our coast, As more and more insur- ance companies move out df our state, the insurer of choice for many is our own state-backed Citizens Prop- erty Insurance Corporation. "Formed by the Florida Legislature in 2002, Citizens insurance provides poli- cyholders with affordable property insurance protec- t-.on that many taxpayer advocates feel is unrealisti- cally low. By most accounts, Citizens Hurricane shutters vary in fastener and installation style. would experience financial. ruin in the event of a major hurricane in the state leav- ing the taxpayers to subsi- dize the claims being paid by Citizens. . In an effort to avoid such a situation, Citizens will in- evitably raise rates to realisti- cally reflect risk and require some form of protection for' the homes to reduce their risk. This protection includes better roof protection as well as window and door open- ing protection, such as hur- ricane shutters, Better home protection means less risk to the insurance companies. Other insurance companies are following Citizens' lead, Along with hurricane pro- tection, a more in-depth evaluation of each home detailing wall and roof con- struction and design, will help insurance companies better calculate their risk. These new evaluation forms will in turn help the in- surance companies write policies and assign risk and premiums accordingly. Most experts agree, that without some sort of increased pro- tection for homes, insurance premiums will continue to skyrocket. . One homeowner I spoke to recently received a.$49,000 annual premium bill for Shoreline anglers need license by Aug. 1 their coastal home insur- ance, Not many people will consider buying real estate, particularly in coastal areas, until some balance can be achieved with insurance pre- miums. These uncontrolled insurance rate increases will be the "500 pound gorilla" sitting in the corner that will never allow the real estate market to recover, particular- ly in hurricane prone states, such as Florida. Hurricane protection and risk evalua- tion seem to be the key to getting Florida's real estate market back on track.

The new license applies only to Florida resident saltwater anglers who fish from shore.. Resident anglers may prefer to purchase the regular recre- ational saltwater license that covers them, no matter where th'y fish for saltwater species in Florida. Florida has always required nouresidents to have a license when fishing from shore, and they will still need to purchase a regular nonresident saltwater fishing license,. The new shoreline saltwater. fishing license for residents gdes oni slegily 15. It provides all of the same exemptions as a regular license, including se- nior citizens, children, disabled people who meet certain quali- fications, active-duty military personnel while home on leave, Each summer, thousands of area teens want to land a great job and now is the time to begin. Below are 10 tips Workforce Plus offers teen jobseekers to help improve their chances of finding and keeping summer employment. With the unem- ployment rate at a record low, teefh job seekers have a great op- pdrt nity to begin their careers with many different businesses Sa industries this summer. S'I. Look everywhere, talk to everyone - looking for a job is seriousu, time-consuming work. Tell everyone you know you are llodking for a job. This includes family, teachers, friends, counsel- ors, parents' friends - everyone. S-rch online for places that hire teens. Ask your local businesses if they're looking for summer help (comer stores, video stores, grocery stores, golf courses, etc). The more you ask, the more likely someone will say, "you're hired" 2. Know your business - if you want to work for a specific employer or you are offered an interview, find out as much pos- sible about that business. If the interviewer asks you business-re- lated questions, your knowledge is sure to impress. Also, if you're approaching a business that may or may not be looking for sum- mer help, the more you know, the better your pitch. 3. First impressions DO mat- ter - when anyone is search- ing for a job, even teens, they should dress for success and be as professional as possible. and anglers who fish from a licensed pier. In addition, the shoreline license requirement includes two new exemptions: anglers drawing food stamps. temporary cash assistance or Medicaid. and anglers fishing in their home counties who use cane poles or other gear that does not depend on mechanical retrieval. At the request of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), the Florida Legislature passed the new li- cense requirement to head off a federal license requirement that will go into effect Jan. 1, 2010, and will have a $15-$25 fee be- ginning in 2011. Florida's new shoreline license exempts this state's anglers from the federal license requirement, ' Several hunting, fishing and conservation organizations requested other permit fee changes, which dbo'n'f :tak6 effect until July 2010. They include increases in the state waterfowl stamp, from the cur- rent $3 to $5; in the resident turkey permit, from $5 to $10; the nonresident turkey permit, Job search activities are not the time to display the latest fash- ion trends or current slang. It is best to be over-dressed or "too professional" than not enough. At the very least, teens should wear dean, pressed, well-fitting slacks and dress shirts with clean, appropriate shoes. No mini-skirts, halter-tops, sagging jeans and so on, Feel free to dress in your own style outside of work but when looking for a job, traditional impressions are best., 4. Learn how to apply for a job - know in advance how to complete an application, have a resume prepared (even if you don't have formal work experience) and make sure you take information with you like addresses, phone numbers and other contact information you will need to include on an ap- plication. This is very important, as you may have to complete an application on the spot with a limited amount of time. 5. Practice interviewing - this may feel awkward but can help prepare you for the real thing. Having practiced answerslito routine questions will help you sound more professional and be less intimidating should the employer ask something for which you are not prepared. At the very least, practice talking about yourself beforehand. . 6. Follow-up with employers - if you have an interview, . the employer then folloiw- the interview with a thank you letter. This shows the employer you are serious about wflat'I. from $100 to $125; the wildlife management area permit for hunting, fishing and other recreational uses, from $25 to $30; the limited-entry or spe- cial-opportunity hunt fee, from $100 per day to $150 per day and $250 per week to $300 per week, as determined by FWC Commissioners; the snook permit, from $2 to $10; and the lobster permit, from $2 to $5. Also, new laws create a $5 annual deer permit' (in addi- tion to the current hunting license requirement for deer hunters) and allow the agency to charge up to $5 per day for non-hunting and non-fishing recreation on certain wildlife management areas. The FWC will evaluate areas where it is the lead manager to determine where to charge the fees and how much to charge. In addition, the state will use uip o 1 Up&ercent of the h ntiiA and sport-fishing fees to pro- mote those sports, with empha- sis on youth participation.

Ask the employer when you might hear about the job so you can follow-up if you don't hear back by that time. 7. Be a good employee - once you're hired., be sure to get there on time, show up everyday, listen to instructions and be a positive team player. Employers want someone who is depend- able and willing to work hard. Oftentimes, one summer job can lead to next year's summer job! It can also provide you a posi- tive reference for future job or school endeavors. 8. Grades count - get the best grades possible. Sometimes em- ployers have to choose between a lew candidates who seem all "the same" - getting good grades can make you the "one." 9. Volunteer - although it's tough to get experience on your resume, you can participate in community activities and/or vol- unteer to boost up your resume. These activities will make you shine in the eyes of someone looking for employees. 10.
