Lf BRAPqY 0P F L .1A :::~ 404 LIBRARY ,E3ST UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA CAI Morgan Purchases Former Sculley's Auto Parts Story, Photo, Page 3 I December Events Planned At Sr. Center Story, Page 6 Tallahassee Man Arrested Here For Animal Cruelty Story, Page 14 Q^ Friday Morning Montic 137TH YEAR NO.97.50 CENTS II1 Published Wednesdays & Fridays ews FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9,2005 Accord Sets Stage For City To Obtain $2M + Project Will Allow City To Save $30,000 Yearly LAZARO ALEMAN Senior Staff Writer The city received positive rein- forcement this week in its efforts to upgrade its sewer sanitary system and save money in the process. On Monday, David Fisk, a repre- sentative of the Suwanee River Wa- ter Management District (SRWMD) informed city officials that the agency was willing to commit to some $1.9 million in funding for a water reuse project here. As envisioned, -the project would allow the city to redirect a half mil- lion or so gallons of treated waste- water on a daily basis, and save;.an estimated $30,000 in the bargain. . Here's how it would work. The city presently pipes approximately half a million gallons of treated wastewater every day from its treat- ment plant near the recreation park to an artificial wetlands off Gold- berg Road. Additionally, the city pays ap- proximately $60,000 annually to test the treated wastewater, in compli- ance with state and federal regula- tions. The reuse project would take the half million or so gallons being pumped to Goldberg and redirect this flow to the various ponds on the property of Simpson's Nursery just south of town. The nursery would then use the treated water to irrigate and spray its thousands of trees and plants. City Superintendent Don Ander- son said Wednesday it was his un- derstanding that Simpson's presently Spuinps about a million gallons a day to keep its trees and plants watered. He said it was his further under- standing that much of this water is recaptured via irrigation channels and reused. Far from being a done deal, how- ever, the water reuse project has a long way to go before the SRWMD funding is secured, let alone the other funding which will be needed to fully fund the enterprise. SRWMD will fund only 75 per- cent of the project, or about $1,.9 million. It's up to the city to come up with the remaining 25 percent, which city officials hope to obtain from the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) through a Commu- nity Block Development Grant. Nursery Figures In The Equation Meaning that if the city is suc- cessful in getting the DCA money,. the project will be funded 100 per- cent with state monies. On Tuesday night, the City Coun- cil took the first step toward that -hoped-for eventuality of 100 percent funding by entering an inter-local agreement with the SRWMD for the $1.9 million. As Mayor Julie Conley explained it, the agreement in effect encum- bers the money for the city. That way, she said, the SRWMD can now approach the Legislature and ask for the funding, citing the commitment to the city. "It will be a process of cobbling together all the monies that are needed," Conley said of the strategy the city is pursuing. Councilman Brian Hayes called the arrangement a win-win situation for the city. "It's costing us nothing and it's benefiting us," Hayes said. Ironically, the city is not even in the SRWMD, as Conley pointed out. Rather, the city is in the North- west Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD). "As the Suwannee River Water Management District sees it, they don't recognize the line," Conley said Tuesday night, noting that Simpson's, at least, is in the SRWMD. The split in the county between the two water management districts is due to watershed and other geo- graphic and hydrological considera- tions. City officials plan to apply to the DCA for the 25 percent matching funds early in the coming year. Land-Use Changes Pave Way For Developments LAZARO ALEMAN Senior Staff Writer The City Council on Tuesday night took action on four small and large-scale Comprehensive Plan amendments that together affect a combined 100.08 acres in and around the city. The first action, Ordinance 2005-12, changes the designation of a 2.23-acre parcel bordered by North Jefferson St. on the west and North Cherry Street on the east from residential to commercial. City Clerk Emily Anderson ex- plained that the change -- which does not require Department of Community Affairs (DCA) approval LAZARO ALEMAN Senior Staff Writer The Sheriffs Department is inves- tigating the case of a missing 15- year-old county girl who disappeared from her home some- time Monday night. According to Major Bill Bullock of the Sheriffs Department, Jessica Rae Warren was last seen at her home around 10 p.m. Monday. "When the household awoke the next morning, she was not in her room and a search confirmed that she was not in the house," Bullock said. He said a note found on the prem- ises indicates that the girl may have run away. "However, it has not been con- because it affects fewer than 10 acres -- corrected an error in the Comprehensive Plan. Anderson said that through no fault of the owner, Pecan Manor Apartments LLC, the parcel, pres- ently had several zoning designa- tions, including high-density resi- 100 Acres Affected dential and commercial. The change, she said, would cor- rect the mix-up and allow the owner to proceed with plans to restructure the use 6f the apartments. She said the plans call for the conversion of firmed that she wrote the note and Jefferson County Sheriffs Office in- 1 1 \ / WARREN vestigators are treating the case with the same seriousness they would (See Disappearance Page 6) the apartments into motel or hotel units. Ordinance 2005-13, a companion piece approved by the council, cor- rects the same errors on the zoning map, placing the 2.23-acre parcel in, the B-2 or business highway cate- gory. Ordinance 2005-06 affects a 12.84-acre parcel recently annexed by the city just north of Rocky Branch Road. The Comprehensive Plan amendment changes the use of the property from agricultural to residential low-density. Because the change affects more than 10 acre, the matter required a DCA review. The DCA had no problem with the proposal, other than to express a vague concern re- garding the potential traffic impact on US 19 of any development, of the property. Anderson told the council that no plans existed at present to develop the parcel. She said that the group that planned to put in the Orchard Pond Subdivision had withdrawn the application. That development was expected to contain between 35 and 40 houses. Finally, the council approved for transmittal to the DCA a large-scale Comprehensive Plan amendment af- fecting the 85-acre parcel just west of town purchased by developer Riley Palmer. The proposed amendment seeks to change the zoning of the property from four-units-per-acre to one-unit- per-acre. Palmer plans to built an upscale subdivision of 80-or-so units on the property, with prices of the houses expected to range between $250,000 and $300,000. BRRR, IT'S COLD! Caidence and Taylor Knecht braved the low temperatures last Friday night to attend the downtown Christ- nias festivities. The two, however, look cozy and comfy in their winter attire. (News Photo) Comcast's Proposal To Raise Rates Incenses City Officials LAZARO ALEMAN Senior Staff Writer If city officials were incensed Tuesday with Comcast's proposed rate increase here, they must have _ been more so Wednesday with the company's announced rate reduction in Tallahassee. A 'story in Wednesday's Democrat reported that Comcast was "bucking a national trend by asking for a rate decrease on its limited basic-cable service and not increasing other monthly subscriber charges" in Tal- lahassee. "We will be reducing the charge for our limited basic service by 33 cents a month effective in custom- ers' January bills," KC McWilliams, general manager for Comcast's Tal- lahassee franchise, was quoted as * saying. By contrast, Comcast recently in- formed city and county officials here via letter that the company -likely will increase rates in the com- ing year. "Why?" an outraged Councilman Brian Hayes asked Tuesday night. "We're still on analog and the serv- ice is poor. They have not put one dime into upgrading Monticello. They should be reducing rates, not increasing them." At the least, Hayes said, he wanted a company representative to appear before the council and ex- plain the purported higher costs the county was incurring in providing service here. He also wanted to af- ford subscribers an opportunity to "sound off'. "They say their costs are increas- ing," Hayes said. "I like to know what they've done to improve serv- ice in Monticello." Council members Luther Pickels and Tom Vogelgesang concurred with Hayes' assessment. They like- wise were concerned and outraged by Comcast's proposed rate increase, they said. The three requested that a Com- cast representative be invited to the January council meeting. "Tell him that we're concerned about the increase and outraged with their level of service," Hayes said. "Invite them to the crucifixion." In Tallahassee, Williams attrib- uted the proposed rate reduction in large part to greater service effi- ciency accomplished via the im- proved maintenance of the company's field .equipment.

Our daughters thought the name was cute. Like a "boy named Sue" this male cat named Shirley was the fightingest cat I ever knew. Jody Spencer the local vet, said we should have named him Flannigan or Mike or any other Irish fighting name. Dr. Spencer sewed him up regularly. Shirley ruled the east end of Madi- son Street. My friend, Diddy Brown, had a huge old white fat cat named Billy. Billy was king of west 'lIadi- son Street. For about 10 yeas [llie battle raged.

Towards the end of their lives, they'' both' got a little tired. Once when they were both about 15 years old, I saw them stagger towards the mid-' dle of the block.

Do you think we could sell the County Commission and the City Council on it? IS China Preparing For War? tus. At the same time, the U.S. BY CHUCK BALDWIN seems determined to reduce our Talk Show Host military, especially our navy, to E dangerously low levels. Ever since President Richard.. For example, since Ronald Reagan Nixon entered into detente with: the communist regime in China, Amer- ica has. doggedly assisted, in the commercial and military buildup of the Marxist nation. Both Republican and Democratic administrations 'have mollycoddled the Red Chinese to the point that now they have grown big enough to cause serious concern. Both Bill Clinton and G:W. Bush have facilitated the transfers of bil- lions of dollars of commercial assis- tance to Red China, not to mention- vast amounts of technology which China has used to further its military machine: Each president refuses to identify China as ,an adversary, choosing rather to call it a "trading partner." However, China.has not.been hesi- tant to use this assistance to con- struct a formidable military appara- left office, the United States has re- duced its navy from a fleet of 600 Ships and submarines to 288 and shrinking. To give the reader an idea of just how small our navy has become, our '.current navy fleet is equal in size to "that when William Howard Taft was in office! Beyond that, our carrier fleet is on .jits way to the elephant graveyard. Three of the five in service were 'built before 1975. iConsider, too, that the number of fighter aircraft has dropped to fewer 'than 3,500 and is expected to fall to under 2,000. While the United States continues ,to mothball its military, Communist 'China is (with America's help) ,building its military like there is no 'tomorrow. The "Washington Times" recently reported that "China soon will re- ceive a new Kilo submarine from Russia, part of a naval buildup of modem warships and submarines that has triggered new fears for U.S. military planners." "It is the first of eight advanced Kilos that China is acquiring, and intelligence officials say the subma- rine will be outfitted with advanced SS-N-27 cruise missiles, which are capable of attacking U.S. warships. Since 2002, China has built 14 sub- marines." The "Times" report quoted one in- telligence official as saying, "China's surface-to-air missile forces also are increasing, including new short- and long-range missiles, along with a new warhead 'that can maneuver to avoid missile defenses. "If you take a step back and look at the entire array of Chinese weap- ons, the Kilos, the Songs, the Yuans, the ballistic missiles, this [maneu- verable warhead] capability, more surface ships with anti-ship cruise missiles, these are all things that are--- going to give you capability to deal with any kind of naval force that . comes toward you." The "China Reform Monitor" re- cently ran a report saying, "Experts are warning that China is outpacing the United States in the development of attack submarines and could have as much as three-to-one advantage over the United States by 2025." Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld recently warned that "China's investment in missiles and up-to-date military technology posed a risk not only to Taiwan and to American interests, but also to na-., tions across Asia that view them-, selves as China's trading partners,' not rivals." Most all China experts agree that the Marxist government in Beijing is planning to attack Taiwan and is preparing to take on the United i States if we interfere. It has more than doubled its fleet of amphibious landing and troop- carrying ships.

The new unanimous recommenda- tion encourages pediatricians to vac- cinate infants and toddlers against hepatitis A in addition to the already-scheduled vaccinations against hepatitis B, polio, measles, mumps, and whooping cough, among others. "Comprehensive immunizations policies are essential to our nation's healthh" said David Neumann, PhD, iExecutive Director of the National .Partnership for immunization. "Our ability to reduce the inci- jdence of vaccine-preventable dis- eases, like hepatitis A, requires 'constant vigilance. This ACIP rec- ommendation is an important step in reducing the incidence of hepatitis A "nationwide." Despite the availability of effec- tive vaccines, hepatitis A remains one of the most commonly reported vaccine-preventable diseases in the country. According to the Centers for Dis- ease Control and Prevention, hepati- tis A incidence rates in children have been among the highest re- ported because they often come in close contact with other children and easily spread the disease. They can also pass it on to other family members. Expanding child- hood vaccination requirements to in- clude hepatitis A can protect communities from the disease through "herd immunity," i.e., the , protection extended to family mem- bers and the general community when a large portion of a population is vaccinated. ACIP's decision to recommend in- cluding hepatitis A vaccination for children in the childhood immuniza- tion schedule reinforces the need to ,i improve children's health by reduc- ing the burden of this disease in our country. Hepatitis A is a serious liver dis- ease caused by the hepatitis A virus. (See Panel Urges Page 5) MONTICELLO, (FL), NEWS, FRI., DECEMBER 9, 2005 PAGE 5 Letters...

I We were at a.private gathering, 4lich made it awkward to avoid anyone in attendance. Out of re- spect for others, we made our way to say hello and wish this commis- sioner a happy holiday. He tried to avoid us, hardly spoke to us, and would not shake hands with us. Needless to say, his behavior was uncalled for in this setting. We may not care to be around some people, but we can conduct ourselves in a manner that is more becoming. We assume he is upset with us for standing up and speaking out against the re-zonings of agricultural lands to smaller residential parcels. Other people who have been vocal in public hearings have received the same kind of treatment from several of the commissioners. Here are a few examples; a com- missioner calling out a citizen at a public hearing to intimidate him in front of others, having a commis- sioners' family member make rude comments to you at a public- hearing, and having commissioners spread false statements about you in the community. Are these the types of people we want representing us and making decisions for this county? Commissioners seem to be taking all actions and statements as per- sonal attacks, especially if you dis- agree with them. They do not realize that the people of the county are speaking out against their con- duct and decision making as public officials. Some taxpayers are not happy with the majority of this Board and the way it is taking care of county business. The County Commission will be- making a major decision affecting the entire county on Dec.15. An- other land re-zoning will be voted upon. It will take in 3'77 acres in Waukeenah to be re-zoned from Ag3 (1 unit per 3 acres) and mixed use suburban-residential to RI (1 unit per acre).

To me, the matters of the St. Joe application denial, and the court rul- ings of eminent domain for eco- nomic growth shoot the position of some commissioners that this is a property rights issue, out the win- dow. This is a land use change issue. The developers know the zoning of the property when they buy it, and they should live with it. They should not be able to buy land and immedi- ately run to the local boards and get the zoning changed, just so they can build five times more houses on it, and in the process create a myriad of problems for the county. We need commissioners with in- telligence to lead our country, but they also need to have courage. Four of our five County Commissioners have exhibited neither quality on the issue of growth planning. I agree with John M. Dewey's let- ter to the paper of Dec. 2, 2005. I will not blindly follow any politi- cian. Charles DeGaule was right when he said: "Politics are too important a to the problems. Only the develop- ers gain. Once it is allowed to start, there will be no stopping it. Show your support. Attend the .public meetings or write your com- missioners. Stand up against the politicians and developers trying to destroy our precious county.

Mr. Dorothy Bell and Family , HICKS -j DEBBIE SNAPP . Staff Writer The Jefferson County Community Coalition will hold a meeting 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 13 at the Library to address resources availability and access. After reviewing the health and so- cial indicators for the community at a special meeting held in October, George Hinchliffe, executive direc- tor for Health\ Start received some helpful comments and suggestions that provide a framework for contin- ued effort. After evaluating the input by those attending the presentation, the issues seem to be divided into two distinct categories. The first group of issues is related :to resources and access to those re- sources.,, .This grouping includes a variety of issues ranging from the lack of children's mental health or sub- stance abuse services to the absence of the Department of Children and Families and Workforce Develop- ment services. The second grouping contains those issues related to social and' cultural norms that place minimal S alue on maternal and child health care and or dissuade persons in need from accessing available serx ices. - f climate control Its srrple. / Heat and coolyou , home smanly w'iih ENERGY STAR' to _-'-_. ,reduce your home energy ue.

Allen stated that he had shot and killed three hunting dogs and after shooting the dogs, he called a friend to come and track a wounded deer. FWC spokesman Stan Kirkland said that the dogs, all Walker Correction Santa Claus was placed in the Wrong store window in a cutline un- der the photo appearing in Wednes- day's Monticello News. .- Santa is trimming the tree in Jack- son's Drug Store window, not as otherwise stated.

Kirkland said that the owners had tried to head the dogs off before they entered the land, but were un- able to. One of the dogs belonged to the 10 year-old grandson of Ce- cil Hightower and the other two be- longed to Terry Walker, both of Wacissa. Wilcox said that Allen stated that he had removed the collars and tracking collars from the dead dogs, smashed the tracking devices and then submerged them in water.
