In a split vote (3-2), the council authorized City Manager Bob Brown to solicit bids for the project and Councilwoman Shirlie Hampton asked that it be completed by spring. Hampton had broached the topic of building a pavilion at the park during her very first council meeting (Nov. 13 following her win over longtime incumbent Alphonso Dowdell in the Nov. 6 General Election). During her second meeting, Nov. 20, the council directed Brown to obtain cost estimates for the project. At that time, the expected costs were $10,00- $15,000. MEET However at Tuesday's meeting (Hampton's third), the projections came closer to $20,000. Councilman Mike Deming, who is also relatively new to the board, said that while he supported the project "we are just in the first quarter of the new year's budget. I would rather see us put the project in our five- year capital improvement City Manager Bob Brown, center, describes possible routes for a proposed walking trail at Loughridge Park during discussions Tuesday night.

Minimum wage goes up to $7.79 Florida's minimum wage will jump 12 cents on Jan. 1, 2013, to $7.79. This follows a 36-cent increase last year. Following the latest increase, Florida's minimum wage will be 54 cents above the national minimum wage. Florida law requires the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity to calculate a minimum wage rate each year. The annual calculation is based on the percentage increase in the federal Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers in the South Region for the 12-month period prior to Sept. 1, 2011. In 2004, Florida voters approved a constitutional amendment creating a state minimum wage, which applies to all employees in the state who are covered by the federal minimum wage. The state's minimum wage was relatively static for several years after the federal government raised its own minimum wage to $7.25 in 2009. The Florida wage rose to $7.31 in June 2010 after the state lost a court battle over its interpretation of calculation methods. It then jumped to the current wage of $7.76 in January. Employers must pay their employees the hourly state minimum wage for all hours worked in Florida.

Please see page 3 Mission established here during first Spanish period Editor's Note: The following the late June Parker McLeod, is the continuation of a history, an educator and avid local of Taylor County written by historian. It is featured on a I r y December 14-15,2012 I F #$News-Herafld web site highlighting Perry and Taylor County History (https://sites.google.com/site/ taylorcountyhistory/). According to W. T. Cash, Florida's first state librarian, a mission, was probably established near the Thomas Mill shoals on the lower Fenholloway River during the first Spanish period and Thomas Mill Hammock, a fertile track of land about one and three fourth mile to the southwest was cultivated by the Spaniards or the Indians under Spanish supervision. The Spaniards during their first occupation opened a road from St. Augustine to Apalachee by way of Alachua district, crossing the Suwannee River above present day Old Town, the Steinhatchee near the falls, and the Fenholloway near Thomas Mill Shoals. Prior to 1840, mills were erected at the Thomas Mill shoals at a point where the Fenholloway is separated by an island into two parts, the right or western stream usually having an approximately two foot fall, except during high water. . The name Thomas Mill probably came from Don Thomas Mendez Marquez, who owned large herds of cattle along the lower Suwannee River before 1700. The name "Tomas" means Thomas in English and he probably erected the *"Thomas Old Mil." England gained control of this land in 1762 and when the Spanish left the Timucuans went with them. Their numbers had already declined because of diseases and attacks from Creek Indians armed with English guns. The peninsula was divided into East and West Florida during the English control. Florida had no involvement "- Please see page 3 Here we go again. If the ancient Mayans' predictions are correct, next Friday, Dec. 21, life as we know it will come to a drastic end. Again. That is why I finished my holiday to-do list a week or two early this year. And, its why I've already made my New Year's resolutions and broken them. Why should I bother trying to stick to them? I mean, what's the point? The Mayans predicted that the world will end next week. So, how will it end this time? Well, according to the Mayans, doomsday will occur when the planet is hit by a giant asteroid because of a very rare and unusual alignment between the Earth and the center of the Milky Way. It may seem a' little far-fetched to put faith in the Mayans, who may or may not have been smart enough to foresee their own end, but I'd rather err on the side of caution than to wake up next Friday and still have tasks to complete on my to-do list. Christmas shopping is already a daunting task. Now, imagine having to shop for Christmas gifts while the world is coming undone. This isn't the first time that I've been forced to cram the Christmas and New Year's holidays into the days leading up to them. It seems like it was just yesterday when I, and the rest of the world, prepared for the end when the clock struck midnight on Jan. 1, 2000. How the world was going to end 12 years ago wasn't as "cut and dry" as this year's predicted ending. All kinds of theories were bounced around as the new millennium approached. There were the predictions with religious connotations. "The good book says the world will stand a thousand, but not thousands of years," my uncle reiterated on a near daily basis. "It will be the year 2000 in a few days, so you better get ready." And, who can forget the doomsday predictions based on the Y2K bug? "When the clock strikes midnight on Jan. 1, 2000, every computer in the world will shut down," a younger, more tech-oriented friend preached. "When the computers shut down, all kinds of devastation will happen. Without the computers controlling the nuclear bombs, they're going to all explode. Electrical power plants will stop operating and the world will be thrown into darkness. And, that's just the beginning." At first, I laughed at these predictions. However, as the year 2000 neared, I began to cautiously consider the possibility that these predictions may come to pass. So, I began to prepare. " "What are you doing?" my mother asked when she walked into my bedroom and saw the piles of clothes and boxes in the middle of the floor. "I'm getting rid of all the stuff I'm not going to need," I responded. "Why?" she asked. "Well, they say the world is going to end tomorrow," I answered. "If that's the case, you're not going to need anything," she said with a wry giggle then turned and walked out of the room. What she said made sense, but with less than 48 hours to get ready, I forged ahead with my preparations. The next day, hours before the predicted end here in Perry, I turned on the television and watched as the new millennium started on the other side of the world. There were no bombs going off. There were no blackouts. And, there was no chaos or tears as mankind bid farewell. The world survived the doomsday predictions of 2000. Now, with next Friday being the predicted end of the world, I just hope I'm able to wake up the following day and find some consolation in knowing that I finally finished my holiday to-do list before the holidays ended. 006 ..

Hampton, however, remained unmoved in her position and reiterated her request: "It is long, long, long overdue. We need to go ahead with it." Councilman Don Cook, without offering any further input in the discussion, made a motion to "take from reserves.. .to build a pavilion at Loughridge Park at the lowest cost not to exceed $20,000." Hampton quickly offered a second. Restating their desire to have the project routed through the city's capital improvement plan, Deming and Gunter both voted against the motion, which passed 3-2 (Cook, Hampton and Woodfaulk voted in 'favor). Hampton then asked that the bathrooms at the park be unlocked during the day for use by the public. "It's a park and we need to have the facilities open there," she said. But, some of her fellow board members balked at the suggestion, noting that the city was currently in the process of replacing bathroom facilities at Gerald Walker Park that were destroyed due to a fire set by unknown vandals. "If you open them up, you'll just have to start replacing toilets and sinks every week...that's why we had to lock them in the first place," Public Works Director Barney Johnson said. "There were lights shot out last week at the park and we've had so many (vandalism) problems at Gerald Walker Park, I think we should have a good plan in place on how to secure the parks first before opening them (the bathrooms) back up," Deming said. "We have insurance for the facilities at Gerald Walker," Hampton countered. "I have to agree with Councilman Deming. I think we need ,to get a handle on how to protect the property we have before opening ourselves up to more liability," Cook said. One audience member suggested that the council look at hiring a part-time attendant to oversee park bathrooms. "They had this same problem in the community I lived in out in California and they looked at the amount of money they were spending to repair vandalized restrooms and found it was cheaper to hire someone," Kevin Hayden said. "I would be willing to. volunteer my time if need be," he added. "I like that idea," Woodfaulk said. City Manager Brown noted that the cost for a part- time attendant would have to include a vehicle (for travel between parks) as well as related salary expenses. "If you pay someone $10 an hour, for example, by the time you include taxes and benefits, it's really costing the city something like $14.44 an hour," he said. The council opted not to take any action on the bathroom issue and moved to the next item on the meeting agenda, which dealt with installing a walking trail at Loughridge Park. "This one you could put on the five-year plan," Hampton-who asked that the topic be placed on the agenda-said. No further action was taken. Florida became American territory in 1821 FIRST MISSION Continued from page 2 in the American Revolution and England had almost no development during their possession. When Florida was ceded back to Spain in 1784 the few colonists in the peninsula were allowed eight months to leave. During the second ,Spanish occupation, the land lay empty except for the troops in the Spanish garrisons. Two small colonies of farmers from the Mediterranean countries settled on the upper east coast. The Spanish 'government offered resident of nearby states land grants. No families came to this area and the Seminole Indians began to come from Georgia. Florida became an American territory in 1821 after negotiations with Spain. A territorial capital was built in Tallahassee and East and West Florida were united. There was a gradual migration of settlers into this area finding the wilderness little changed from that found by' the earlier explorers. Conflict arose between the white settlers and the Seminoles. In 1818, while Spain and the United States were negotiating for the territory, Andrew Jackson was sent into Florida to punish the Seminoles for their raids against the settlers and Indian tribes in neighboring states. In Taylor County, the only encounter between Jackson's forces and the Seminoles was near Natural Bridge on the Econfina River. General William McIntosh, a half-breed Creek, was one of Jackson's most capable subordinates. He was the first to make contact with the Seminoles along the Econfina near Natural Bridge. McIntosh said he heard that Peter McQueen, leader of the Seminoles, was near the road he was traveling and McIntosh and his warriors fought McQueen for about three hours. Mclntosh killed about 37 Indians, took 98 women and children.and six men prisoners, and about seven hundred head of cattle and a number of horses, many hogs and some corn. McIntosh lost 3 people and had five wounded. Jackson's invasion into Florida to punish the Seminoles is known as the first Seminole War. Partly because of Back in business Jackson's action Florida became a U.S. Territory in 1821. The dense hammocks of Taylor County were a favorite hideout for the Seminole Indians during the Second Seminole War. The small waterways, sloughs, and high spots of the Fenholloway, Econfina and the Steinhatchee provided sanctuaries for the Seminoles trying to escape the U. S. regulars. The Indians were not often found after the army slashed for days through the hammocks but Indian camp sites and villages were found. From 1835 to 1842 Taylor was commander of all United States forces in northwest Florida and instituted a campaign that help make the land safe for the settlers. General Zachary Taylor, came to Florida in 1837 to assume command after several commanders' performances were not popular with early settlers in Jefferson and Madison counties.

Just when I thought I would take a breather, my youngest sister's son called and informed me that she (Mary Jones, his mother) was in Doctors' Memorial Hospital in ICU. And then news came to my brother George that his brother-in-law in Buffalo, N.Y., was beaten and robbed. So I began to ponder in my mind, is all of this happening in my life or is it the six o'clock news? Yes, this is very real, and 1502 S.

We then looked for an hour or so and found the reds and put five in the boat in under an hour. They fished live pinfish under Back Bay Thunders to land their fish from 2.5-3.5 feet of water. The reds preferred shrimp, so we fed them some. Water temps rose from 65 to 70 degrees by late afternoon Tuesday, and I would expect trout to hold where they are despite the little front this week and maybe respond well to plugs and soft plastic, if the water temp drops down to 60 degrees by the weekend. Here are some reports from Keaton Beach Marina: Eddie Sanders and Jack Turner of Warner Robbins, Ga., were down last Thursday and Friday and had their limit of 10 trout both days and a few BSB using grubs under a Cajun Thunder and some on un-weighted flukes. Wyman and Wyatt Clark of Live Oak had their limit of trout to 24 inches last Friday fishing with a Cordell Ripplin', Redfin and New Penny Gulp under a Cajun from 4 feet of water. On Saturday, Richard Powell of Alapaha, Ga., and Michael Singletary of Nashville, Ga., had 7 trout and 3 BSB bouncing Gulp on the bottom in 3 feet of water. That's it except to say ...

The first score came midway through the first half when Shain Cormack sent a through ball to Davis who calmly placed it over the head of the oncoming goalie. Soon thereafter the 'Dogs added another goal when Davis sent a pass over to Daniel Wentworth who finished with a nice volley. Wentworth added the next two goals for the Bulldogs as he was assisted by Davis again and then by Luke Kallschmidt. Late in the second half Davis was awarded a free kick from well outside the box and sent a laser beam into the left side netting. With time winding down, Daniel Dudley nailed a shot that found the back of the net with an assist from Calub Murphy. Helm played great in goal with 4 saves on the night. The defense recorded its 7th shut-out of the season and was led by Jon Thomas, Jake Symrnios, Austin Wynn, Gavin Lewis and Ethan Allbritton.

'Life of Pi' is beautiful in every sense of the word We often discuss filmmaking as an art form, something it indeed is. Less often, however, do we talk about films as art. There is a Japanese anime director by the name of Makoto Shinkai--someone I am sure most of you have never heard of before--who has created some of the most beautifully animated films I have ever seen, most dealing with love and loss and sporting long titles like "Voices of a Distant Star," "The Place Promised in Our Early Days" and "Children Who Chase Lost Voices." There is such a sense of artistry surrounding his movie that you could likely blowup any random frame of film and put in on your wall as you would any painting. The same could be said about the works of famed anime director Hayao . Miyazaki, whose films like "Spirited Away," "Princess Mononoke" and "Ponyo" are much better known here in the U.S. ", Capturing this artistry is . more common in animation than in live action because it ' is...well, not easier, but more understandable because the directors are able to control everything about their environment from lighting, scenery and even the sky. But that doesn't mean it can't happen in live action--especially with the increasing development of computer effects--as proven by the stunningly beautiful "Life of Pi," from director Ang Lee ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," "Brokeback Mountain"). The film about a young man stranded at sea with only a hungry Bengal tiger as company is not only a magnificently told story, but it is presented with such an eye for visual beauty that like the works of Shinkai and Miyazaki, every fame is a painting ready for the wall. "Life of Pi" is a serious movie with a whimsical soul, featuring a tale of endurance, survival, faith and most especially, life. The story begins in Canada, where an adult Pi Patel (Irrfan Khan, "Slumdog Millionaire") is approached by a reporter (Rafe Spall, "Anonymous") having heard that he has a grand story to tell. Pi agrees to talk, beginning with his childhood living in India where he father ran a zoo. He recounts his various encounters with the religions of the world and his search for God. When Pi (newcomer Suraj Sharma) is a teenager, his father decides to sell the zoo's animals and move the family to Canada. Traveling on a cargo ship through the Pacific Ocean, Pi finds himself stranded after the ship sinks in a storm, alone but for a few animals who also escaped. Among them is Richard Parker, a Bengal tiger who naturally sees him not as a traveling companion but a source of food. As the days turn into weeks, Pi struggles to maintain his faith, his hope for rescue, his sanity and his life, both from the elements and Richard Parker. It is a journey that will change him forever, as it will those who hear his story. Although several directors tried their hand at adapting Yann Martel's best-selling novel--called by many unfilmable--after seeing Lee's version, it's hard to imagine that anyone else could have done what he has. Credit must also go to screenwriter David Magee : ("Finding Neverland") and cinematographer Claudio Miranda ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") for the film's ultimate success, as well as the countless special effect geniuses for providing the incredibly realistic CGI animals, including Richard Parker. Much has been made of Lee's use of 3D .in "Life *:-.'a't of Pi," and rightfully so. Overuse of the technology has relegated it to the level of gimmick at best and a cynical money grab by movie studios at worst. So there is some level of irony that it has fallen to unlikely 3D adopters like Lee and Martin Scorsese ("Hugo") to show the proper way to use the technique to its maximum capacity. It is definitely not required to see "Life of Pi" in 3D, but it a great example of how to do it right. Of course, it's also hard to say too much about the performance given by Sharma, who beat out some 4,000 other hopefuls in the film's open casting call. Reportedly only going to the audition to support his brother, Sharma is a natural and has to be on the shortlist of the top performances of the year. I should warn parents that the film's PG rating is somewhat misleading, at least considering how often it was marketed in front of family movies over the past several months. Although this is definitely a movie which can and should be enjoyed as a family, there are several particularly intense scenes shortly after the shipwreck involving a number of the animals that could be too much for young children. "Life of Pi" is beautiful in both story and visual presentation, wonderfully directed, shot and acted, and is one of the best movies of the year. The film is rated PG for emotional thematic content throughout, and some scary action sequences and peril. I CALEDAR Nov. 23-DEC. 23 The Hippodrome in Gainesville presents "A Tuna Christmas."

Tolkein's classic novel, a prequel (although it was published first) to "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. The story follows Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman, "Sherlock") as he journeys to the Lonely Mountain with a group of dwarfs to reclaim a stolen treasure from the dragon Smaug. Jackson's original trilogy won countless awards and did even better at the box office and among fans. He'll be looking for a similar experience here with Part II ("The Desolation of Smaug") following next December and Part III ("There and Back Again") arriving in theaters in July 2014. The film is rated PG-13 for extended sequences of intense fantasy action violence and frightening images. Moves Starting Friday, Dec, 4, 2012 The Hobbit Fday 7 3W on NEW Satuday 730pm.
