WATERMINELON FESTIVAL
IGICS-OFF TiIS WEEKEND! ouml 50 0 46 +40 Friday, June 8, 2012 -A mPPI1~'F"~t I - Photo Courtsey of myFWC.com Lake Drawdown Starts Wednesday GOAL IS TO REVITALIZE MICCOSUKEE LAZARO ALEMAN ECB Publishing Senior Staff Writer State officials opened the north and south gates of Lake Miccosukee on Wednesday morning, June 6, beginning a planned drawdown that should dry the greater part of 6,100-acre lake to allow for burning of the excess vegetation and removal of the muck that has accumulated on the lake bottom over the years. Wednesday's action followed on the heels of the public hearing that representatives of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) held the previous evening in the courthouse annex to explain to local residents the purpose of project, an- swer questions and address concerns. "It went well," FWC biologist Charlie Mesing said Wednesday of the public hearing. "Everyone Please See LAKE DRAWDOWNPage 3 BY EMERALD GREENE This Monday evening, June 11, at 6 p.m., the Jef- ferson County School Board will take a vote to decide on whether they should leave Veteran's Day a paid holiday or to remove it from the calendar and make Martin Luther King Day a paid holiday At this point in time, Martin Luther King Day is a holiday, and workers do not have to show up to work, however, it is not a paid holiday. Also, Vet- eran's Day is a normal work day but is considered a paid holiday In my opinion, Monday will be a sad, sad day, in Jefferson County The veterans of our country al- ready are not given the proper respect that they de- serve by Americans and now, the Jefferson County School Board members are following suit. The reason that these five commissioners (and all the citizens of this county) have the freedom to vote, make decisions and live without fear is BECAUSE OF OUR VETERANS. The reason we can all wake up and go to whatever church we want, read a non-govern- mental controlled newspaper, have the right to bear arms, etc. is BECAUSE OF OUR VETERANS! Now, apparently certain people in Jefferson County are trying to "pressure" others by basically saying, "This day isn't important enough to be recog- nized" and what is astonishing to me is the fact that this pressure tactic has actually made it far enough to be considered and about to be voted on. Where are the backbones that should be standing up for our country and what it was founded on (and the veterans who fought and died for our freedoms)? This editorial is NOT about having the paid hol- iday moved to Martin Luther King Day This editorial is about taking away the respect that we SHOULD have for our Veterans and for Veterans Day. We ALL should have that respect. I was raised to love God and country and to re- spect my country, flag and what it stood for. I was raised to respect the veterans of this country and show the respect that they deserve. Too few people are raised in this manner any more, and it has taken its toll on America. Monday evening at 6 p.m. is a prime example of this. I encourage everyone to call their school board member and voice an opinion on honoring those who have served and those who have fought for us, or feel free to join the School Board meeting Monday evening, June 11, at 6 p.m. It is a public meeting. These five (5) members are supposed to be our voice. You elected them to voice your opinion, so let your opinion be known. So as I see it..... there are actually three choices for Monday evening. SLeave the school calendar as it is SVote to make Veteran's Day become a "non- work" day It is already a paid holiday so just make it so no one works on that day. (And remember.... Martin Luther King Day is a holiday on the school calendar, already.) S Or take away the Veterans Day holiday While you're at it, slap every veteran in Jefferson County (and the United States of America) in the face and tell them, "You're just not important anymore." 1 Section 14 Pages 3-9 School & Sports 10 12 Outdoors 11 & 14 13 Viewpoints 2 2 CRASHES RESULT IN CRITICAL INJURIES MAN CRITICALLY INJURED IN CRASH FRAN HUNT ECB Publishing Staff Writer A man was critically injured in a single-vehicle crash over the weekend. Florida Highway Patrol reported that on Sunday June 3 at 12:15 a.m., Lucious Charles Lingo, 22, of La- mont, was driving a 2002 Chevrolet pickup truck trav- eling westbound on County Road 250, west of Upper Cody Road. As the vehicle entered a curve it traveled onto the north shoulder of the road. After leaving the roadway Lingo overcorrected the vehicle to the left, causing it to rotate counter- clockwise back across both lanes of travel. After leaving the roadway a second time Lingo over corrected the vehicle to the right, causing the ve- hicle to rotate clockwise on the south shoulder of the roadway At which point, the vehicle began overturning, ejecting Lingo onto the roadway The vehicle came to a final rest on its roof par- tially on the south shoulder facing north. Lingo was transported to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital for treatment of critical injuries. Lingo was not wearing a seatbelt and whether the crash in alcohol-related or not is pending. The vehicle sustained $8,000 damage. Assisting DHP on the scene were the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Jefferson County Fire Res- cue/EMS, the Leon County Sheriff's Office and Leon County Fire Rescue/EMS. WOMAN CRITICAL INJURED IN CASH FRAN HUNT ECB Publishing Staff Writer A woman was critically injured in a single-ve- hicle crash over the weekend. Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) reported that on Sunday, June 3 at 10:38 p.m., Renee Clark, 33, of Monticello was driving a 2004 Chevrolet Trail blazer traveling westbound on Upper Cody Road at an unsafe speed. Clark crossed over a wooden bridge and began to lose control of the vehicle, which traveled to the southern edger of the roadway and began to rotate clockwise. The vehicle began to travel in a northwesterly direction and exited the roadway on the north shoulder, where the front of vehicle collided with a tree and rotated clockwise striking a second tree with its left side. The vehicle came to a rest facing in a north- westerly direction. Clark was transported to Tallahassee Memo- rial Hospital for treatment of critical injuries. FHP deemed that the crash was alcohol-re- lated and charges are pending. Clark was wearing a seatbelt. The vehicle sus- tained $6,000 damage. FHP was assisted on the scene by Jefferson County Fire Rescue/EMS and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. City Moving Forward On $6.2M Federal Loan/Grant I MONEYIS FOR NEW SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT I The Monticello City Council this week advanced another step on its long and arduous journey to secure millions of dollars in fed- eral funding for construction of a new treatment plant. On Tuesday evening, June 5, the council approved a resolution that serves as a necessary step to authorize the issuance of bonds in an amount not to exceed $4,715,000 to finance a portion of the plant's construction cost. The resolution, in fact, is a supplement to a reso- lution the council adopted last June. All city officials could say about this latest measure was that it was a procedural requirement of Rural Development (RD), the agency within the U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture that is han- dling the city's application. "We're ready to go out for bids and this is one of the procedures we have to go through to go for- ward with the project," was the extent of City Manager Steve Wingate's explanation to the coun- cil. To which comment City Clerk and Treasurer Emily Anderson added that a court proceeding would follow the resolution. Not even City Attorney Bruce Lein- back, however, could say what ex- actly that court proceeding or the overall process entailed. Suffice it to say that it's a re- quirement the city must meet if it wants to receive the funding; that ultimately was all the advice that the council members received. Anderson said afterwards that it would probably be only a few more months before the city receives the go-ahead to advertise for bids. Given that the process has been going on for more than a year, however, a wait of several months must appear a relatively short period to officials by this point. It was in July 2011 that the council learned the city had been awarded $6.2 million for the con- struction of a treatment plant, with $4,715,000 in the form of a low-interest loan and $1,540,800 an outright grant. That announcement came fol- lowing the council's approval of a first resolution the previous month. As RD area specialist Mary Gavin explained it to the council in June 2011, adoption of the ini- tial resolution constituted an obli- gation that did not incur immedi- ate costs to the city Those costs would come later, when the city actually closed on the loan, a step she said was likely to occur a year or more in the future. The 40-year loan that the city is in the process of securing car- ries an interest rate of 3.3750 per- cent, with the first payment scheduled to come due on the Sept. 1 immediately following the loan closing, and with subsequent payments coming due each Sept. 1 thereafter. Rural Development cal- culates the city's payments on the $4.7 million loan will be $222,030 annually. According to a previous breakdown of the project's esti- mated costs, $4,950,000 will go for development of the treatment plant; $20,000 will go to the fiscal agent; $54,000 will go for legal fees; $163,000 for interest; $573,800 for engineering services; and $495,000 for "contingencies". The funding conditions re- quire that, prior to the start of construction on the plant or the closing of the loan, the city must provide evidence or certification Please See LOAN/GRANT Page 3 CITY OFFICIALS GREEN LIGHT DEMOLITION OF RARE DOOR LAZARO ALEMAN ECB Publishing Senior Staff Writer The plan calling for the renovation, restora- tion and redevelopment of the group of historic buildings anchored by what was formerly Jack- son's Drug Store in the downtown district has now reached the point of action.

It appears that quality of public education is inversely proportional to money spent, students passed from grade to grade without being able to com- plete the course work but they are made to feel good about themselves! Schools should stop trying to create the perfect socialist human (the Sovi- ets tried that for 70 years and it didn't work!) and concentrate on teaching basic reading, writing, and arithmetic. Armed with a solid foundation in learn- ing the students will be able to figure out what is important and what to ig- nore as mankind have done for millennia. Though not perfect, we have managed to move from the cave to the pent- house, from hunting/gath- ering to producing surplus food without all the social conditioning to which kids are now subjected. With regards, 9ack SheAl&q Remember when grandparents and great- grandparents stated that they only had an 8th grade education? Well, check this out. Could any of us have passed the 8th grade in 1895? This is the eighth- grade final exam from 1895 in Salina, Kansas, USA.

With the school year winding down and summer fast approaching, your mentoring relationship may also be coming to an end. Though the thought of ending this relationship can trigger some very mixed emotions, it is also a time of celebration and reflection on your experi- ences together. Spending one day a week for the whole school year is a long time together. As summer ends this regular time together, talk about all the things you've learned together and celebrate by creating a nurturing, visual or tangible memento together which reminds the student of your time together. Be willing to stay in- volved in the student's life in a meaningful way. And, is the process gets tough... remember that that separation is a big part of life's learning. A caring ending is also a very important gift to a student.

Rare Door said the demolition would apply only to structures that were addi- tions to the original historic build- ings. "The exact date that these building additions were con- structed cannot be determined, but they appear to have been built between 1929 and 1966," he wrote. "The Jefferson County Building Department has no building records prior to 1978. A map at the Jefferson County Public Library dated 1929 shows the building lay- out in the downtown area with no reference to the building that we are requesting to demolish." Kessler provided paperwork to show that a structural engineer had twice visited the site and de- termined that the Rare Door build- ing could be taken down safely and separately, without adverse effect to the remaining buildings. "The engineer will visit the site a third time after we have com- pleted a separation of the build- ings to inspect and ensure that there are no structural deficien- continued from page 1 Additionally, the city must deposit $7,000 per year in an asset manage- ment reserve for short- lived assets.

The city's new engi- neers have offered assur- ance that the new plant should last a minimum construction. Meaning of 50 years. cies," Kessler said. "Then we will proceed with the complete build- ing demolition." Kessler said once the Rare Door structure and a small portion of the Jackson Drug Store build- ing were demolished, the appro- priate steps would be taken to make the exposed facades of the remaining buildings presentable and historically accurate. He indi- cated that these steps would in- clude the addition of doors and windows that matched those exist- ing on the buildings. Likewise, he said, finishing details would be undertaken to close in the roof, soffit and fascia, making the roof system exposed by the demolition functionally and aesthetically compatible with the other buildings. "This project gives the com- munity an opportunity to restore a portion of our city to its histori- cal condition," Kessler said. "The buildings have been hidden from view by a structure that adds no historical charm to the surround- continued from page 1 ing buildings. We hope our project will encourage other property owners to invest in the mainte- nance and preservation of their historical properties." The goal is to attract viable shops to the area and ultimately reinvigorate the downtown area. The partners in the venture are Main Street Monticello, the Jeffer- son County Historical Society and Tracey and Charles Jackson, own- ers of many of the affected build- ings. The idea first surfaced offi- cially at the February meeting of the City Council; it was Jack Car- swell who raised it. As Carswell described it the plan then, it also called for the re- moval of the parking lot just north of the Rare Door and conversion of this space into a public plaza and patio. "We think this project can spark redevelopment in the down- town area," Carswell said at the time. "We think this is within our grasp."

Mesing said the duck hunters in particular ap- preciated the fact that the FWC had waited to initiate the drawdown, allowing for the most recent duck- hunting season. Mesing, who was involved in the last drawdown of the lake 12 years ago, is heading the current effort. On Tuesday evening at the presentation, Mesing introduced the various members of his team, which includes FWC biologists Matt Phillips, Michael Hill and Joe Benedict. The number of experts and other FWC personnel at the presentation, in fact, matched by almost half the 15 residents in the audience. Mesing started his presentation by pointing out that the lake was 3 1 feet down as of April as a con- sequence of the drought. Ideally, he said, the draw- down should have started in the fall to match the period of the drought. But his agency had made a de- cision to keep the lake open during the last duck sea- son, he said. Mesing cited the opening of three new sinkholes in the southern part of the lake as clear and signifi- cant evidence of a severe drought. "We're late to match the drought," he said. "But unfortunately, you don't know you're in a drought until you look backwards." Mesing referred to a Lake Miccosukee manage- ment plan generated by group of experts in 1989 that calls for periodic drawdowns of the lake every five to seven years to keep it healthy. As it was, he said, the last drawdown was in 2000, making a drawdown at this time overdue by at least five years. He cited Lake Miccosukee as one of several lakes in the region that are historically known to "disap- pear" during extended droughts. Which dry periods, it turns out, are good for lakes, Mesing said, as it kills the aquatic vegetation that tends eventually to clog up these shallow water bodies. What happened, Mesing said, was that during the 1950s the damming of shallow water bodies became a prevalent practice among lake managers. That damming has now been shown to be counterproduc- tive and actually detrimental to the health of lakes is yet another example of a generally accepted practice that is subsequently debunked by a later generation of experts. Mesing's point, however, was that the damming of lakes promotes stabilization, which leads to the propagation of vegetation and its associated ills, such the built-up of muck from plant decomposition and the depletion of oxygen. He showed maps depicting large areas of Lake Miccousukee heavy that are heavily concentrated with vegetation and floating islands of woody tus- socks, which he said currently take up some 2,000 of the lake's 6,100 acres the result of nearly 60 years of stabilization. Mesing said the plan was to lower the water level by another 312 feet, remove 25 acres of muck in the vicinity of three boat ramps to rejuvenate the fish habitats at these locations, and conduct prescribed burns of the tussock islands. He said fishing would be allowed throughout the drawdown. Mesing said a plan was also under consideration that called for annual burning of the tussock islands, to bring these under control and help restore and re- vitalize the lake. He said the plan was to open the lake's north and south gates in June; implement the muck removal in November and December, if conditions permitted; conduct the burns from January to March; and close the gates again in March 2012 to begin the refilling of the lake. He said if rains came in the interim, his team would close the gates and "go home". The intention, he said, was to mimic the patterns of nature, not go against them. In other words, if the drought ended, it made the drawdown pointless. A member of the public asked about the impact of the drawdown on the fish population. Mesing said the drawdown and muck removal would actually ben- efit the fish, as it would ultimately increase the lake's oxygen level and provide sandy bottom for the fish to lay their eggs. "Typically, when you dry and refill a lake, it's good for the fish," Mesing said. In any case, the FWC would restock the lake if the fish population suffered as a consequence of the drawdown, he said, adding that he had already or- dered 600,000 bluegills and 60,000 largemouth bass for restocking purposes. As to why the muck removal was limited to 25 acres, Hill responded that the primary reason was the high cost of muck removal. He said $200,000 had been allocated just for the scraping of the 25 acres. The other consideration, he said, was that rules required that the removed muck be placed some- where. It was difficult to find landowners willing to have tons of muck dumped on their properties, he said.

Mo- rilla Church in Lamont, where Reverend Louise Wallace serves as pastor. The theme of the pro- gram was, "From The Fields To The Hills With Our Heads Held High." Sister Caroline L. Wade is the Loyal Lady Ruler. Loyal Lady Latossya Williams presided. The program was opened with the song, "Lift Every Voice And Sing." The de- votion was led by Sister Leola Moore and Past Loyal Lady Ruler Mathye McCloud. They hymn for the service was, "Guide Me 'O Thy Great Jeho- vah." The Holy Ghost Re- vival served as the guest choir for the occasion, the opening selection was, "Jesus Is Alive And Well." Additional songs rendered throughout the program included; "God is My Everything" and "Jesus Said You Can Lean On Me." Loyal Lady Shalonda Perry performed the solo, "I Won't Complain." Loyal Lady Yulonda Cooper gave the official greeting and occasion, along with a synopsis of the first recognition of Black History in 1926 by Author Carter G. Wood- son, also known as the, "Father of History" It was told that Woodson holds an outstanding po- sition in the early 20th Century American His- tory. He has authored nu- merous scholarly books on contributions of Blacks to the develop- ment of America and published many maga- zines and articles analyz- ing the contributions and roles of Black Ameri- cans. He reached out to schools and the general public through the estab- lishment of a key organi- zation and he founded, "Negro History Week" (precursor of Black His- tory Month.) His mes- sage, "Blacks should be proud of their heritage and other Americans should also understand it." Dr. Woodson stated that he often hoped that the time would come when Negro History Week would be unneces- sary; when all Americans would willingly recognize the contributions of Black Americans as a le- gitimate and integral part of history in the country. Whether it is called Black History, Negro History or Afro- American History, his philosophy has made the study of Black History and legitimate and ac- ceptable area of intellec- tual inquiry Dr. Woodson's concept of Black History has given a profound sense of dignity to all Americans. An inspirational reading was given by Loyal Lady Marva V'dell entitled, "Reincarnation of a Black Woman."

The speaker, Rev- erend Al Nelson, District Deputy Grand Master #10 from Lake City, reflected from the programs to reit- erate a biblical point that we must never forget where we came from and we must continue to focus on three significant words in our journey in life and in living: Pur- pose; Labor; and Harvest. The invocation to dis- cipleship was offered by Past Grand Instructor Reverend John Peck. Of- fertory was col- lected by Brother Jonathan Moody, Brother Samuel Pier- rre-Louis and Brother Carlos Brown.

This play is widely re- garded as Agatha Christie's best; it has been running in London for 60 consecutive years. A group of strangers who are stranded in a boarding house during a snowstorm. One of them is a murderer and two oth- ers are intended victims. Everyone is a potential suspect and/or victim. Tensions mount and tem- pers fly, as the evidence seems to point in all direc- tions.

She and her husband have been mar- ried for just a year, after knowing each other for only three weeks. She be- gins to wonder if she knows him at all. Giles is Mollie's hus- band, her age or some- what older. At one point, they each suspect the other of an affair... or worse. Christopher is a guest in his 20's. He has an overly dramatic personal- ity He might be a bit ef- feminate. He is clearly emotionally unstable. Miss Casewell is in her 20's. She is edgy, abra- sive and secretive. Major Metcalf is re- tired from the British army and a proper gentle- man. He could be 40 to 60 years old. Mr. Paravicini ap- pears to be an older Ital- ian businessman.

WChevron NAPI School is out! All across Florida, students looking for summer activi- ties. No wonder so many national programs high- light the fun of getting out- doors. June has the most daylight hours and the longest day of the year, providing plenty of oppor- tunity for families and friends to enjoy nature and each other. June is celebrated across the nation as Great Outdoors Month. Presi- dent Barack Obama issued a proclamation urging Americans to spend time outdoors and to uphold our nation's legacy of conserv- ing our lands for future generations. The procla- mation suggests families and friends explore, play and grow together, while hiking, wildlife-watching canoeing, hunting, fishing or playing in the neighbor- hood park activities that help kids stay healthy, ac- tive and energized. Gov. Rick Scott's 2012 proclamation says during "Great Outdoors Month, we celebrate the rich bless- ings of our state's natural beauty and we renew our commitment to protecting our environment so that we can leave our children and grandchildren a healthy and flourishing land." It goes on to say, "Great Outdoors Month will encourage cooperative conservation and new technologies to help en- sure America's outdoors remain places where fami- lies and friends can learn, exercise, and create mean- ingful memories."

She transported him to the Jefferson County Jail where he was booked for operating a ves- sel with an unlawful breath alcohol level of .08 or above and willful or wanton reckless operation. ities to support Great Out- doors Month and other events in June. Get Outdoors Florida! lists June events across the state on its website, GetOutdoorsFlorida.org. The Recreational Boating and Fishing Foun- dation is asking Facebook fans (Facebook.com/take- mefishing) to choose the "Top Eight State Parks" in the U.S. that offer fishing. Florida is the only two- time winner of the Na- tional Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management, as well as being the Fish- ing Capital of the World, so visit your favorite state park fishing spot, then vote. You will be eligible for weekly Bass Pro Shops gift card giveaways, as well as the grand prize: an all- expense-paid vacation to your choice of one of the Top Eight State Parks. June is also recog- nized as Recreational Fish- ing Month by VISIT FLORIDA, which helps promote Florida as the Fishing Capital of the World (Fishing Capital.com). Events at its visitors' centers help high- light the tourism value of recreational fishing to Florida. Florida has about a million anglers who come from out-of-state each year, and they make up a substantial part of the $7.5 billion economic im- pact from recreational fisheries that support nearly 80,000 Florida jobs.
