Disaster Relief

Rolls Into County

By KEITH BLACKMAR
Of The Wakulla News
Wakulla County was one of
six Florida counties added to the
list for disaster assistance mak-
ing victims of Hurricane Dennis
eligible for federal disaster aid.
The declaration was made late
Wed-nesday, July 13 but was not
announced by Gov. Job Bush until
Thursday, July 14,
On July 10, President George
W. Bush declared the State of
Florida a major disaster area
Stigge ing the release of federal
funds to help 13 Florida counties.
including Wakulla. acquire public
,J is t. .1lice.
'iic disaster declaration for
individuals originally included Es-
cambia and Santa Rosa counties.
The six counties that were added
are Wakulla, Franklin, Gulf. Bay,
Okaloosa and Walton.
The public assistance declara-,
tion provides assisI.ince to the
state and local governments and
certain private nonprofit organi-
zations for emergency work and
the repair and replacement of
disaster-damaged facilities. The
individuals assistance declaration,
provides help to businesses and
households.
Michael Brown, Under Secre-
tary of Homeland Security for
Emergency Preparedness and
Response, made the designations
under the major disaster declara-
tion for the state by President
Bush.
"We remain committed to
delivering assistance wherever
it's needed and. to making sure
that every qualified individual
and family receives the help they

need, many of whom are still re-
covering from last year's storms."
said Brown. "We continue to work
closely with Florida officials and
the impacted colnnmmunities to pro-
vide assistance to those impacted
by Dennis."
Affected business owners and
residents can begin the disaster
application process by calling 1-
S00o21-FEMA (1-o2) 24 hours a
day, seven days a.1 week until fur-
ther notice. Those with a speech
or he.aing impianment may call

While many residents of Wa-

county staff in dealing with the

week after the storm, '
Toni Courtier of Ochlockonee

Board Sets Tentative

Millage Rate Of 9.5

Two motions to reduce the ten-
tative Wakulla County Commis-
sion millage rate failed Monday,
July 18 when the majority of the
board voted to keep the millage at
9.5, the 'same rate set last year.
Commissioner Howard Kessler
asked board members to consider
setting the millage at 7.5 mills and
Commissioner Henry Vause made
a motion to set the millage at 9.0
mills. Both motions failed due to
a lack of a second., .
Commissioners Ed Brimner
and Brian Langston led a charge
to keep the millage at its present
rate and it passed by a 4-1 vote
with only Kessler voting against
it.
Kessler said he hoped board
members would consider giving
taxpayers some relief and reduce
the millage to 6.5 during the
budget process. "This commu-
nity deserves to have its millage
rate significantly reduced," said
Kess-le- "We've had a 30 percent
increase in ad valorem revenue."
Kessler suggested that the
board needed to set priorities for
projects to be funded rather than
keeping the millage rate at the
same level as last yNeai and raking
in 30 percent more tax dollars.
Commissioner Brimner said
county officials will not be able
to provide items like a municipal
swimming pool without more
tax dollars. He added that only
44 percent (actually 41 percent)
of county residents polled in a
recent survey listed the lower-
ing of taxes as "a very important
issue."
However, the survey noted
that 69 percent of those polled
said lowering county taxes are a

"very important" or "somewhat
important issue."
"Wakulla County needs to im-
prove some things," said Brimner,
"We will handcuff ourselves at 7,5
mills. We'll continue being the
county that has nothing."
Brimner added that he made
the motion to set the millage at
9.5 "knowing that we're not going
to stay there,"

School Board

TO Advertise

New Budget
By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
Of The Wakulla News,
While the Wakulla County
School Board is considering low-
ering its proposed tax levy for
2005-06, the amount of revenue
the levy} will bring in is substan'
tially higher because of higher
property values in the county.
The school board, at its meet-
ing on Monday, July 18, approved
a millage assessment of 8,7 mills
and a tentative budget totaling
more than $33 million for adver-
tising. A public hearing on the
budget is set for Aug. 1.
Last year's school board tax
levy of 9.2 mills produced some
$6.7 million. This year's proposed
levy of 8.7 mills is projected to
bring in $9.5 million.
The district's millage rate is set
by the state on required local ef-
fort, which is 5.377. The Wakulla
High School bond issue is down to
.57 mills from .81 mills last year

Removal Of

Debris Will

Continue
For the second week, Crowder:
Gulf Contrators will continue to
pick up storm debris from Hurri-
cane Dennis. Residents who were
affected by Hurricane Dennis'
storm surge are asked to leave
hurricane debris along the county
right-of-way.
Contractors are expected to
continue picking up debris in St.
Marks, Shell Point, Spring Creek,
Panacea and Ochlockonee Bay.
Randy Merritt, Veolia Water Sys-
tems Project Manager, said the
pickup will continue for "two or
three more weeks." The contrac-
tors are working seven days per
week.
Residents will not be charged
for the service but Merritt asked
that food or other household gar-
bage not be included in the debris
since it will draw rodents.
The limbs are being burned
while clothing, furniture, carpet-
ing and other debris is being
disposed off at the Leon County
Landfill, through an agreement
with Leon County officials. Dis-
carded white goods .are being
recycled through the Wakulla
County Landfill.
Anyone who has not had their
debris picked up or has storm
debris away from the flooded
coastal area that needs to be col-
lected may contact Veolia at 926-
7616 to schedule a pickup.

Comment and Opinion

Established In Wakulla County In 1895

Thanks To All Who Helped At Shell Point

Editor, The News:
When we waded back to our
houses in Shell Point Village we
never imagined all the damage
that had taken place during a
seven or eight hour period of
flooding. Like many others, we
had stayed thinking it wasn't
going to be that bad. We finally
tried to walk out but because of
the high water we were forced
to take refuge with Dwayne and
Patty Broadway on Royster Road.
We were very fortunate that
when the water started going
down and we waded back home
we found no damage to our
house. Many of our friends and
neighbors lost a lot and some
lost everything
I want to thank everyone who
came down to help our commu-
nity out and these are some who
come to mind. Sheriff David
Harvey was down here at 8 a.m.
on Monday assuring us cleanup
preparations were in the works
and deputies would be on patrol
to keep sightseers and looters
out. He had inmates from Wak-
ulla and Jefferson counties down
here helping with the cleanup
the following morning.

Letters
I believe it was sometime on
Monday that the Red Cross
showed up at the fire depart-
ment with water and food and
snacks. They fed people supper
every night through this past
Sunday. ,
Chris Robinson with Sunset
Grill in St. Marks called Charles
Vickery with Pepsi in Tallahas-
see and said folks needed help
along the coast. Charles made
two deliveries of Pepsi products

to be given to the folks down
here and Chris Robinson was on
the truck each time to help un-
load.
Joe Sigman with Channel 40
in Tallahassee also came with
folks from Wal-Mart and they
brought water, large trash bags
and bleach.
One day a truck pulled up
with a pallet of water. Tony Aus-
tin, owner of Back Flows R-Us in
Tallahassee went to Wal-Mart
and purchased the folks at Shell
Point a pallet of bottled water.
To my knowledge, I don't know
if he even knew anyone at Shell
Point. He just said he wanted to
help.
Jerry Word and Deb Edwards
own a couple of rental homes at
'Shell Point and they brought
lunch for folks and probably fed
150 people one day. Robert
Middleton went to Publix and
bought sandwiches for about 100
people one day. Mike Stewart,
past commissioner of Wakulla
County, had about 30 kids from
the Wakulla ROTC down here

helping folks clean up. The Mor-
mon Church had folks helping.
Talquin, Sprint and Comcast
were here till all hours of the
night working to restore lost ser-
vices. Many folks from the vol-
unteer fire department spent
days helping coordinate cleanup
and giving out food and water.
I'm sure I've left someone out
and if I did I want to say thanks
to you;
The last person I want to men-
tion is Jim Esner, chief of the Sta-
tion 8 Fire Department. From the,
beginning to the end, he was
down here. Most people who live
at Shell Point, Oyster Bay, Live
Oak Island and Spring Creek
don't know how fortunate we are
to have him here. Jim sells real
estate for Shell Point Realty for a
living and he got paid nothing
to spend all day arid half the
nights helping his friends and
neighbors on the coast. To all
these folks, and especially Jim
Esner, we say thanks.

Correction
Due to a production error by
the printer of The Wakulla News,
the Bainbridge, GA Post-Search-
light, outlines and photograph
credits were deleted from the
front page of the July 14 issue of
The Wakulla News.
The unidentified photographs
included a flooded out Angelo's
Restaurant in Ochlockonee Bay,
flooding and an .abandoned
camper trailer on Mashes Sands
Road and a.parking lot full of sea-
weed at the Panacea Plaza.
Four of the photographs were
taken by Leslie Carl Herold while
one each was taken by Lynda
Kinsey and Johnny Joiner.

Editor, The News:
I have been involved in Envi-
ronmental Regulation and Pub-
lic Health for over 22 1/2 years,
with most of that time being
spent right here in Wakulla
County. Hurricane Dennis was
the worst I've seen in terms of
storm surge damage along the
coast and a lot of people were
really affected by it.
Wakulla County Health De-
partment staff w'erie in all the
affected areas the day after Den-
nis passed through doing public
health assessments and provid-
ing public health services to our
needy fellow citizens.
But we were not alone. We
received valuable assistance from
Department of Health Headquar-
ters in Tallahassee, both in re-
sources and manpower. I would
especially like to recognize the
individuals who volunteered
their time to help the people of
Wakulla County and provide en-
vironmental health services dur-
ing and after this storm event.
Mark Hooks and Dale Hol-
comb of HO, former Wakulla
CHD employee and current
Gadsden Co. Environmental
Health Director Melissa Brock,
and Wakulla County resident and
Leon CHD Environmental Spe-
cialist Penny Barwick have put in
countless hours helping us pro-
vide the necessary services to the
people of this county to help
them recover from this storm
and protect their health.,
I would also like to personally
thank the Public Health nurses
who came down from HQ to help
Wakulla CHD nursing staff man
the Red Cross and fire stations:
Sylvia Byrd, Deborah Burch, Mary
Tollefson, Marie Melton, Annette
Phelps, and Bonnie Wirth. Roger
Stockman came up from South
Florida to help get public infor-
mation out to the storm dam-
aged areas also. These good folks
came down to help the citizens
of this county recover from this
disaster and we here at the
WCHD are extremely grateful.
WCHD also received help and
assistance from the Red Cross,
the Wakulla Volunteer Firefighters,
the Wakulla, Leon, Taylor County
Sheriffs Offices, and the Wakulla
Board of County Commissioners.
Most importantly, I'd like to
thank new WCHD Administrator

Thanks Deputies,

Fire Departments

Editor, The News:
I just wanted to tharik the
deputies and fire departments of
Wakulla and Leon counties for
all the time and overtime they
put in helping the victims of the
storms. They don't get enough
recognition for the things they
do to keep us safe. They have a
tough job to do with not enough
pay and not enough thanks.
Mrs. Lena M. Tyner

wasn't cheap. So why does it just
sit unused?
The dock attracted many fish-
ers who purchased bait and sup-
plies at local business. It pro-
vided an opportunity for kids to
fish. And now it just sits.
When inmates from the jail
come to clean up the beach (and
they do a good job, thank you),
why can't a work crew fix up the
dock? I thought the fees charged
were to maintain the dock. What
happened to that money?
It is sad to see this expensive
dock sitting idle when it should
be a resource for the county.
Commissioners, can't you do
something?

Marlon Hunter. He was literally on
duty starting Thursday, July 7 un-
til last Saturday,'July 16, working
12 to 18 hours a day making sure
the Public Health needs of this
community were met during and

dedication are exactly what this

I would also like to extend my
extreme and deepest gratitude to
Mr. Joe Blanchard. our Emergency

could not have carried out our

The Efforts Of

Editor, The News:
I thought I would write a let-
ter to The Wakulla News to let
everyone know how much the
residents of Panacea and Ochlock-
nee Bay appreciate the help, love,
and support our Wakulla Sher-
iff's officers gave before, during,
and after Hurricane Dennis.
Our officers were helping
clean up debris, people's belong-
ings, and parts 'of their lives.
They have no problem going out
of their way to lend a helping
hand to someone in need. Of-
ficer Cliff Carroll was out in
heavy wind and rain shoveling
off roads with his tractor.
Thank you so much from the
bottom of all of our hearts down
here by the water.

Help Reflects Well

Editor, The News:
Our enthusiastic thanks to
Wakulla High's Navy R.O.T.C. stu-
dents for the help their members
provided my wife and I in clean-
ing up the debris on our prop-
erty at 89 Walker Creek Drive in
Shell Point. We would not have
been able to move the accumu-
lated pilings, seaweed, house
parts, etc. on our own. The cheer-
ful way these students cooper-
ated with each other on this hot
and messy chore speaks very
well for them and the R.O.T.C.
program,
C. Henry Depew

Editor, The News:
I am so ashamed to say that I
am from Crawfordville, FL.
This past week my husband
and I traveled up into Northwest
Georgia. In each little town on
our journey we saw streets in
little towns and cities lined with
American flags. In one town they
had the streets lined with flags
and over 2,000 yellow ribbons
lining the streets and highway
for their servicemen and women
who couldn't be with them, and
to honor a young soldier killed
last week in the line of duty.
The patriotism that we wit-
nessed in these little "home-
towns" was so strong: they
weren't going to forget what the
Fourth of July was all about and
they were proud to be Americans
and to fly the flag of America.
Then I came "home." There are
no flags lining Hwy. 319 in Craw-
fordville (there is also a new flag
pole at the pavilion in the park
with no flag), there are no yel-
low ribbons.
What is wrong with you
Crawfordville? This is truly the
only town that I have been to in
the past week from Blue Ridge,
GA back that didn't have flags
flying...isn't Crawfordville a part
of America? I don't want to hear
that this town or that town in
Wakulla County had flags on
their streets, I want to know why
Crawfordville-the county seat-
didn't.
I blame the county commis-
sion and the county administra-
tor for this lack of respect, not
only to the independence of our

country, but to our loved ones
who fought, died and those who
are still fighting and dying to
make sure that we all remain
free. You should all be ashamed.

Local Heroes,

Risked Lives

In Rescue

Editor, The News:
We would like to thank all the
people who helped us during the
flooding of our home, especially
Tim Jordan and John Posey who
waded through chest deep wa-
ter with a boat to rescue Valerie.
These gentlemen risked their
lives pulling the boat through
large breaking waves to safety.
They are true Wakulla County
heroes. Thank you also to Noah
,Posey who was waiting with his
truck on Surf Road which was
deep underwater.
We also wish to thank Sherrie
(Posey) and Gary Miller who took
us in, fed us, dried our clothes
and gave us a warm haven, in
which to weather the storm. Also
thanks to Becky Schuler who
gave us a soft bed in which to
spend the night and lots of hugs.
It's wonderful to live in Wak-
ulla County where good friends
and neighbors will reach out to
help others.

Commission Accepts Grant For Community Swimming Pool

- With questions about a poten-
tial site and no funding desig-
nated for construction or main-
tenance, Wakulla County Com-
mhissioners voted to approve a
Florida Recreation And Develop-
ment Assistance Program (FRDAP)
grant Monday, July 18 to go toward
a community swimming pool.
- In September 2004, the board
approved submitting the grant
application to the Florida Depart-
mfent of Environmental Protec-
fion (DEP) for pool. Commission-
ers planned to use the $200,000
to acquire property for the facil-
ity in Medart.
The county will not be re-
quired to provide any match
money but they must develop the
property as outlined in the grant
application, said Wakulla County
Grants and Special Projects Coor-
dinator Pam Portwood. Board
members have three years within
the closing date of the grant to
complete a swimming pool, pic-
nic facilities and restrooms.
Rep. Will Kendrick is ready
with a ceremonial check which
he plans to present to the county
on Friday, July 29.
Several residents spoke in fa-
vor of a community swimming
pool including Lynn Artz who
told commissioners that the pool
will provide summer jobs for
youths while also providing a
place for older residents to swim.
"I'm optimistic that we can
find a workable way to do this,"
she said. "We must invest in our
children." Artz added that older
residents can also benefit from a
community pool as a place to get
exercise and stay healthy.
Resident John Trice said Wa-
kulla County does not need a
swimming pool. "It's going to
.cost us a lot of money," he said.
"'We've got plenty of places to
swim in this county."
Sonja Guerra said a municipal
pool will provide activity for chil-
dren during the summer months,
Jennifer Harrison agreed. "I thor-
oughly support the swimming
-pool," she said. "The Springs are
crowded and there is bacteria in
the ocean." She added that swim-
.ming lessons could be offered so
that residents who live near the
ocean will knowhow to swim.,
Portwood said the absolute-
deadline to accept the grant and
execute a contract is Sept. 6. The
county will be reimbursed the
$200,000 as the grant money is
expended.
"I have a lot of questions be-
-fore we purchase property," said
-Commissioner Maxie Lawhon.
Commissioner Ed Brimner
added that the pool will cost
-$250,000 per year or more to op-
erate and maintain. "That's a lot
,of money we're going to be ask-
ing taxpayers to pay," he said.
Wakulla Recreation Board
-President Philip Vause said he
.supported the swimming pool
:but reminded commissioners to
*be cautious. "The swimming pool
is a great idea," he said. "But let's
be careful how we step into it.
We're not properly maintaining
what (recreation facilities) we
have now."

tance meeting with Federal Emer-

Vause estimated that a pool
will cost more than $1 million to
build and operate within the first
year.
Commissioners Henry Vause
and Lawhon said they were not
happy with the Medart location
proposed on U.S. Highway 98

near Wakulla High School. How-
ever, the grant application was
written with the Shaw property
in Medart as the location, said
Portwood.
"I am for the swimming pool,"
said Commissioner Howard
Kessler. "We need to make deci-

sions on (funding) priorities and
how we spend our money. I'm for
investing in our youth. The youth
is our future and this is one of
the activities that is needed. This
community wants a swimming
pool. I don't want to turn this gift
horse down."

"I didn't like the location in the
first place," countered Lawhon.
"The school board didn't want to
help us fund it. I would love to
have a pool but I have lots of
questions I want answered."
"My concern is the cost of this
thing and the liability," said Com-

missioner Vause. "I would rather
it be located more north. I've got
my doubts about this. Id rather
see a community center."
"I'd like to have both in one
location," Commissioner Brian-
Langston concluded. "I'd hate to
miss an opportunity for $200,000."'

BUCKHORN
COMMUNITY
NEWS
By Ethel Skipper

A thought for the week: We all
need faith. Many people, even
some Christians, have a false idea
of faith as an irrational decision
to believe against the evidence.
Faith is never opposed to reason.
As its core, faith is simply trust-
ing in God. We are set right with
God, not by what we do for Him,
but by trusting in what He has
done for us.
Our prayers and concern go
out to all those who had losses
and damage due to the hurricane.
It was something that no one
looked for to hit the area like it
did, but there is much to be grate-
ful for. We have life and we
should be thankful.
Macedonia Church of Christ
will have its church Memorial
Day Service on Sunday, July 24 at
11 a.m. Everyone is welcome.
On Friday, July 22 at 7:30 p.m.
at the Outreach on Surf Road, the
Lily of the Valley Chapter No. 190
O.E.S. will have a program. The
speaker will be Minister Kenneth
Rosier. The public is welcome. On
Sunday at 11:30 a.m. will be regu-
lar workshop service, and at 3 p.m.
will be a program for Missionary
Delores Nelson. Due to Hurricane
Dennis, all these services will be
held in Sopchoppy at the Out-
reach on Surf Road. The pastor is
Ethel M. Skipper. May God bless
and keep you is our prayer.
Happy birthday to Derick

Taff Removes The Gator From Skipper's Garden

Picking Peas And There

Is A Gator In The Garden

Willie Skipper of Sopchoppy
was picking peas last week when
he found an eight-foot alligator
in his pea patch.
At about 8:30 a.m. on Monday,
July 11, Skipper went out to his
garden. "I went out early to pick
peas before it got too hot, you
know but I got heated up any-
way," he said.
He heard a noise like a growl
and some rustling in the bushes
behind him. "I almost didn't
look." he said. "But then I

thought, with this storm and all,.
it might be a snake."
Behind him, he said, sat an
eight foot gator.
Trapper Houston Taff was
called and killed the alligator as
a nuisance.
The only water near the Skip-
per home is a pond across the
road, and Skipper said he be-
lieved the gator may have come
across the road looking to make
a nest to lay eggs.

ANNUAL EYE
EXAMS ARE KEY
FOR HEALTHY
EYES

Eye exams are for more than just
correcting vision problems. An eye
exam can detect many conditions that
may not even be presenting any
symptoms. Diabetes and tumors have
been first detected by an eye exam.
Eye exams can:
Measure for prescription lenses to
correct astigmatism, nearsightedness
and farsightedness.
Check for the presence of eye diseases
and conditions such as glaucoma,
macular degeneration, cataracts and
retinopathy.
Make sure your eyes are working well
together, while also evaluating your
eyes as part of your overall health.

CHAT, The Wakulla Animal
Shelter and the Wakulla County
Sheriff's Office are getting ready
for our biggest fundraiser ever.
On Saturday, July 30 the first
annual Paw Poker Run will be
held. Registration is from 9 a.m.
to 10 a.m. with the first bike out
at 9:30 a.m.
The grand prize is a $300
leather jacket! There will be
many other types of prizes and
numerous local businesses have
joined in to support this event.
Special thanks go to Capt. Massa
for his efforts in putting this
event together. We hope all our
friends of animals who love to
ride will support their local shel-
ter with this event,
Next time you stop by the
shelter take a look at our new
barn! After years of discussion,
this structure is becoming a real-
ity. We talked quite a bit about
the size and materials to, be used,
but until it becomes a reality one
doesn't comprehend all the plan-
ning and work involved. It is
going to be fantastic when it is
completed. We will be able to
store feed and with these storms
the animals will be able to get
under cover.
Last Saturday C.H.A.T spon-
sored a community flea dip. It
was wonderful to see Lucy, the
chocolate lab again, along with
Buster and Elizabeth. There were

many other dogs and their own-
ers, too.
These events are not only ben-
eficial to our dogs in this season
of flea infestations, but they are
a social meeting for us owners. I
found out about a great little
curry type comb for my dogs, and
others were discussing behav-
ioral issues such as chewing fur
and tails.
If you want to help your dog
with his fleas and catch up on
some animal info, stop by the
shelter for our next flea dip in
August .
We also had Heide and Susan
at PETCO last Saturday. They
took four puppies and one dog
for possible adoptions. Once a
month we take a few animals to
PETCO and set up a little adop-
tion booth. Last Saturday Heide
and Susan found homes for all
five animals! Having done this
event myself, it is so gratifying
to come back to the shelter with
empty cages.
We hope everyone is spread-
ing the word to spay or neuter
pets. Encourage your friends and
family to have their pets done,
Call 926-0890 for information on
spaying or neutering. And spread
the word about The Paws Poker

Senior Citizens' News

BY DELYNN BASTIAN
Since the illness and subse-
quent death of Terri Schiavo, I
have been asked many times
about Living Wills and other ad-
vance directives. The Wakulla
County Senior Citizens Center
provides an attorney for those
individuals age 60 and older and
you are welcome to use this ser-
vice. Mr. Richard Smith is in our
office once a month and you will
need to call 926-7145 to set up.
an appointment. His services are
free to seniors.
This information may answer
some of your questions. A Liv-
ing Will is a written or oral state-
ment that specifies the kind of
care you want or do not want.
The Health Care Surrogate is a
document that designates the
person who will make medical
decisions for you. An alternate
is a durable power of attorney,
which designates a representa-
tive who could have other duties
as well: legal, financial, etc.
DNRO ( Do Not Resuscitate
Order) is a specific yellow form
available from the Florida De-

apartment of Health that tells
medical personnel you do not
want to be resuscitated from res-
piratory or cardiac arrest. The
DNRO is used, for example, with
patients having terminal cancer
or untreatable organ failure. An
Anatomical Donation is a docu-
ment indicating your wish to
donate all or part of your body
at death.
In regards to these advance
directives, here is some other
important information:
1. A lawyer is not required to
create an advance directive, un-
less you desire one,
2. Two witnesses are required,
however, whether the directive
is oral or written. One must not
be a spouse or blood relative.
3. Read and discuss your di-
Srective with those concerned
(doctor, surrogate, family) to
make sure others understand
your wishes as you intend them.
4. Give copies to the appropri-
ate people. These might include
your family and loved ones, your
physician, your lawyer and your
clergy.

5. You may change or cancel a
directive at any time.
The AARP Driver Safety Course
will be held sometime in the next
few weeks no date has been
set yet. Please give me a call at
the senior center if you would
like to attend. The fee is $10 a
person, there is no driving test
and no written exam and you do
not have to be an AARP member
to take the course. Call 926-7145.

I ...-',!,v didn't expect to be
doing a fishing report this week
but we did have some people go
out after the storm and some did
rather well, You need to be ex-
trenmely careful out on the water
now because there's no tilling
what's fi[.tini, just under the
water or on top of it that you
might not see, The water is
dirtier than I have ever seen and
boards and logs can be fl'. iiin
and you won't see them until it's
too late,
I just talked to Liz at Shell Is-
land Fish C.,iip and they had
very extensive damage and will
be closed for the next couple of
weeks. You might want to call
before ;. .i. down there, I'iik,
Hopkins at Lanark Village said
they got a foot of water in the
store and lots of damage to the
docks at the boat club but they
are back in business,

By GEORGE L WEYMOUlTH
"It's a MOCCASINI" one of the guys at work yelled. Then Jessy
Van Dyke, whose office was also in our D,NR, complex, excitedly
blurted out, "Grab the babies-hide the old ladies!" We all chuckled.
We were i,,i.inr, light of how it seems "all" water snakes are as-
sumed to be the "deadly moccasin,"
th.,r wasn't so funny was the plain fact that over the years all of
aus had seen the result of this mis-identification: many smashed,
"*r. f.--"; harmless species of various water snakes. Most, of course,
were ,i fled by those convinced they were mn-iing the world a safer

Many may have spared the snake had they taken the time to,
learn just -,- ,y a moccasin real>, looks like. In this article, I'll try to
:.".,'. this identification dilemma, especially now after Hurricane
'r::.'. has :o'Ic',de"' so much of our area causing snakes to appear
where they normally might not.
Of the appi.ru,;ately 35 species of snakes we might find in and
'around W,iduila County. only 10 are likely to be in or near water,
like the swamp snakes, garter snakes, etc., but the average boater
would rarely ever see these sunning over the water..
.-Actuallyrthere are four" freshwater snakes that a p-ersonrrin this
region normally sees along our lovely spring fed rivers, dark water
streams, or the silt laden rivers farther west, and also around the
shorelines of our many lakes and ponds. One is the true "Cotton-
mouth Moccasin." Agkistrodon piscivorus conanti,
S !-.c Co'onmouth and Copperhead are both moccasins. When
born ucy and other poisonous pit vipers, !ke the rattlers and wa-
ter snakes, do not lay -ggs I'.-, bear ,vizg ',oungi the Copperhead
,and Cottonmouth look neaih identical, only the Cottonmouth has
a dark streak iiuoug h the eye.
c:h v. en young. have bright, yellow tails which they use as
lures. Soon, though. yclcw fades and joins the rest of the basic
: c:1Oi of both snakes, tan with dark bordered brownish bands run-
'nirin completely up and over the back.
I've seen and photographed Copperheads just west of here in
the "steeps" of and along the forests of the Apalachicola River. They
were >avin. on dead southern magnolia tree leaves, and were unbe-
She aNbly camouflaged!
Normally the Copperhead is considered a highland snake while
the Cottonmouth is a lowland. The Copperhead, Agkistrodon
contortrix contortfix, rati-l gets to three feet and retains much of
its pattern throughout life, but the water loving Cottonmouth reaches
six feet (I personally have caught one years ago five feet long!) They
tend to become a dull, brownish black, and lose most of their pat-
;tern,
Anyway, young Cottonmouths look like their cousins, the Cop-
perheads, but become dark as they mature.
This pit viper crawls, swims and suns with the head normally
:tipped up so the "pits" between their eyes and nostrils can better
: detect variations in heat and help locate prey or sense danger. No
,other water snake moves in this manner. When swimming, they
float! Other water snakes swim with only the head partly out of
water. In addition, the Cottonmouth is the only water snake to hold
its (white) mouth open when threatened unique!
The other water snakes likely to be observed locally are the Brown
Water Snake, Nerodia taxispilota, common in spring fed rivers, which
has an alternating brown square pattern, and the Banded Water
Snake, Nerodia fasciata fasciata, which, as the name implies, has a
banded pattern. Both are harmless; that is they lack any venom,
Both average two to three feet but will reach five.feet under excel-
lent conditions.
Another harmless water snake found along the Ochlockonee River
in Wakulla Coun i', is the Red-bellied Nerodia erythrogaster, which
has a plain dull gray or olive green back and yellowish to reddish
belly, And finally, there is the Gulf Coast Marsh Snake which, like a
Garter Snake, is striped. This is a salt marsh snake and found only
in brackish water, except after major storms!
So, these serpents are the most likely to be seen sunning along
our waterways. Please take the time to study these sketches, and
familiarize yourself with these three, and give the snakes a break.
Remember, not all water snakes are moccasins

with their limit of 10 fish. Some
of the commercial fisherman
went to their holes in 200 to 250
feet and all indications were the
storm pushed the grouper in
closer,
One thing you're going to
have to put up with is a lot of
sharks out there and they're eat-
ing the grouper before they get
to the top. There are still a few
tarpons being caught at Turkey
Point Shoals but the water is so
dirty they are having to blind cast
them,
One of Mike's customers
fished the bay for three days and
caught his limit of trout every day
in a very short period of time,
including a 24 inch trout. Mike
said there is a lot of stuff float-
ing there also,
Scott at Jerry's Bait and Tackle
said two folks out of kayaks in
Goose Creek Bay I.aught their
limit of trout using frozen shrimp,
Roy Rhodes fished east of the
lighthouse with dead shrimp and
caught two trout and a Spanish.
David Reynolds took his
daughters, Lauren and Rachel, to
30 feet of water and they caught
a 22 pound cobia, grunts, black
sea bass and lot of short grou-
per. Capt. Randy Peart and his
wife, Michele, went off the
Aucilla trolling a Mann's Stretch
25 and caught a 10 pound grou-
per in 15 feet of water.
Be careful out there and watch
for floating debris. Good luck and
good fishing!

Brown Pelicans, A Species Of Special Concern, Are

Being Housed At FWMA

Franklin County officials move
more than 150 brown pelicans

in the Lanark Village area when

VanDyke Will Be Speaking

About Herbicide Treatment

The Concerned Citizens of
Wakulla (CCOW) will host a talk
.on the herbicidee, treatment 'of
' VWakulla Spa angs Thansday Jiily 21
at 7 p.m. at the extension office
in Crawfordville,
Jess VanDyke of the Florida
Department of Environmental
Protection will discuss the hy-
drilla treatment at the state park.
Wakulla Springs is inundated
with growth of the invasive
hydrilla plant that has become a
problem in many Florida water-
ways. After several years of us-
ing divers and machines to pull
the weeds out around the spring-
head, the park has turned to her-
bicides to control the spread of

the weed.
Fueling the growth of the non-
native aquatic weed is-the esca-
lating amount of nutrients, par-
ticularly nitrogen, that .h4s risen
as population in the surrounding
area and Tallahassee has grown..
State officials hope that the
chemical treatment improves the
health of the river and creates a
robust population of apple snails,
limpkins and native aquatic veg-
etation.
VanDyke will discuss the tri-
als and tribulations with the use
of the chemical treatments. The
,:talk will begin at 7 p.m. and the
CCOW general business meeting
will be held at 8 p.m. in room 3.

Refuge Recovers From Storm

Damage as a result of Hurri-
cane Dennis forced St. Marks
National Wildlife Refuge officials
to close the property for several
days. The refuge reopened to the
public on Monday, July 18, accord-
ing to Refuge Manager James
Burnett,
Cleanup from Hurricane Den-
nis took a full week with assis-
tance from officials from the
Okefenokee NWR and Savannah
NWR.
Lighthouse Road closed along
with the visitors center, The light-
house received minor damage
and erosion occurred in the park-
ing area near the lighthouse. De-

* bris was extensive along the road,
levees and in the marsh, said
Burnett. The storm moved silt
into the boat ramp basin en-
trance. The Aucilla boat ramp is
open although the floating dock
was lost.
Refuge crews worked the
cleanup and volunteers were not
recruited due to the hazardous
nature of the cleanup. Refuge
Ranger David Moody asked resi-
dents and volunteer groups to
consider t Awareness and Cleanup day
scheduled on Saturday, Sept. 17.

41, AUXILIARY REPORTS I

By Sherrie Alverson

Last Thursday was the first
time there has been an article on
Coast Guard news since my first
little four to five inch one an-
nouncing the "Opening Hatch"
of the Flotilla 10 (then) Flotilla
13 (now) station in June 1974. I
worried about the fate of the
column when the fire destroyed
the Alverson's home at Live Oak
Island on July 9, 1978, but Marge
Clark offered to write it for me. I
was so grateful. Marge and her
husband; Bob, were Flotilla mem-
bers who lived in Paradise
(then)/Shell Point (now) Village.
Hurricane Kate was the first
storm to damage the old Coast
Guard station there on the beach
it moved the porch inside the
building. Huirrricane Dennis did
even more.
Flotilla 13 did not open our
Shell Point Coast Guard Auxiliary
Station nor had a patrol on duty
this past weekend. Flotilla 12 at
St. Marks was very busy and the
-following report was received
from Rich Rasmussen, their Flo-
tilla Commander.
"St. Marks, FL The members
of Flotilla 12 held their monthly
meeting on Saturday, July 16 at
the St. Marks Fire Department
(aka. Auxiliary Station St. Marks).
Most of the operational team
members were present for the
meeting which was delayed a
week due to Hurricane Dennis.
"Flotilla Commander Rich
Rasmussen briefed the members
on the past division meeting in
Panama City and appointed a
nominations committee in prepa-
ration for September elections.
Safety patrols were conducted on
Saturday with Hollis Key as the
coxswain, along with Bob Surd-
akowski and David Guttman as
crew. Sunday's patrol included
Mark Rosen as coxswain and Rick
Yood and Bob Surdakowski as
crew members.
"The patrols included an aids
to navigation verification (ATON)
of all the buoys/markers and the
bridges over the Wakulla and St.
Marks rivers. This ATON patrol is
a standard post storm response
conducted by the auxiliary to en-
sure that all the navigational aids
are in their correct location (lat/
long) and working properly. In the
-event an aid is not in its correct
location, Flotilla 12 notifies the
aids to navigation team (ANT) in
Panama City and they will make
any necessary repairs. By using the
auxiliary, the Coast Guard can
make a more efficient use of its
resources.

"The flotilla's radio facility was
not operational and will be evalu-
ated after team members have had
a chance to enter the building. The
facility, which is located in the St.
Marks Wildlife Refuge, has been
inaccessible due to the storm,
"Earlier in the week, several
members from Flotilla 12 assisted
in the cleanup of Shell Island Fish
Cainp. Most of the boats used by
the auxiliary are located at the fish

camp and were seriously damaged.
"Flotilla 12 has several public
education events planned includ-
ing a Boating Safely course which
will be offered on Aug. 27 in Talla-
hassee and navigation course in
October which will focus on chart
reading and plotting. Courses in
GPS navigation are planned for the

summer pool party and part of the
flotilla's efforts to fulfill the fourth
cornerstone of the auxiliary, which
is fellowship."

Davis Honored

By State FWC
The Florida Wildlife Federa-
tion has named Captain Vic Davis
of Crawfordville as the recipient
of the Francis S. Taylor Out-
doorsman of the Year award. The
award was presented on June 25.
Captain Davis, like the award's
namesake, has been an out-
doorsman his entire life. He op-
erates the "Barefoot Charters"
saltwater fishing guide out of
Panacea.
His clients not only get a day
of fishing, but a lesson in the fra-
gility and history of Apalachee
Bay. "As an advocate for a clean
environment, he goes out of his
way to pick up waterborne trash
and has shown his commitment
to the coast by being an active
member of the Panacea Water-
fronts Committee," Wildlife Fed-
eration officials said.
On early 2005, Davis was cast
netting for mullet in the flats off
Turtle Island. Spotting a boat
ashore on an oyster bar, Davis
investigated and found that it
was unoccupied, but its ignition
was on and the throttle was up.
Davis began a search which even-
tually turned up a 66-year-old fish-
erman up to his waist in marsh
grass. It was later learned that the
man was a diabetic.
I The boater had struck an un-
derwater obstruction and been
thrown overboard while the ves-
sel plowed ahead. Eventually law
enforcement officials assisted
Davis with the rescue and stated
that the boater would have died
in a short time if not for Davis'
actions.
The award was presented at
the Hutchinson Conservation
Awards Banquet at the Hutch-
inson Island Marriott Beach Re-
sort in Stuart.
In a related matter, Jim Ste-
venson of Tallahassee received
the federation's first annual
Springs protection n Award at the
same banquet.
Stevenson began his career
with the Department of Environ-
mental Protection (DEP) as a park
ranger while attending the Uni-
versity of South Florida. He
served as Chief Biologist for the
Florida Park System for 20 years
during which time he developed
outstanding educational and land
management programs.

Vause Is Acquitted Of Election Day Battery

The man charged with attack-
ing a county commissioner on
election day last year was found
not guilty by a jury that accepted
the defense argument that knock-
ing down the commissioner was
justified.
William Keith Vause exhaled
with relief, lowered his head, and
then clenched his fists in joy as
the verdict was read at his mis-
demeanor battery trial on Thurs-
day, July 14.
Once the jury was excused and
court was recessed, Vause went
to the gallery and hugged his
"Uncle Buddy" County Commis-
sioner Henry Vause.
Henry Vause and fellow com-
missioner Howard Kessler had a
dispute on election day outside
the Whiddon Lake precinct over
roadside signs Kessler put up that
said, "Make Henry Lonely." Henry
Vause said he was upset by the
signs and went to remove them,
Keith Vause went to the scene to
support his uncle.
Henry Vause said on the stand
at the trial that the signs made
him so angry that he hated
Kessler for doing it, saying it was
unprofessional. He indicated the
two officials exchanged words,
about the signs,
Henry Vause took the sign
near the polling place and left.
Keith Vause then went to get
in his truck and Kessler came up.
behind his vehicle and began tak-
ing pictures of the license plate.
Vause said he got out of his
truck and went toward Kessler,
who he said made an aggressive
move and he knocked him down.
Then he got in his truck and left.
Kessler's version was that he
was taking pictures and then
Vause came out of the truck to-
ward him. He claimed he never
really saw Vause before he was
hit and couldn't remember get-
ting hit. His next memory was of

St. Marks Woman

Charged With

Sales Tax Fraud
The owner of two Tallahassee
restaurants and a St. Marks sea-
food house, was arrested on.-
charges that she stole more than
$106,000 in sales tax that she
failed to turn in to the state, ac-
cording to the Florida Depart-
ment of Revenue.
Nancy R. Nichols, 58, owner of
Crossway Cafe and Nanny's the
Net, both in Tallahassee, and
Nichols Seafood in St. Marks, was
arrested on June 27.
According to Department of
Revenue investigators, Nichols,
routinely collected tax from cus-
tomers at her business, but dur-
ing periods between 2000 and
2004, failed to send the state all
of the sales tax she collected.
She faces felony charges of tax
theft and failure to file tax returns
and faces a maximum of 30 years
in prison and up to $10,000 in
fines. She also faces a misde-
meanor charge related to failure
to register a business to collect,
report and remit tax. She alleg-
edly kept $106,609.94 in sales tax.
'Nichols' daughter, Wanda
Nichols, served two years proba-
tion on. 1998 tax violation charges
stemming from failure to file tax
returns and send in sales tax, and
the elder Nichols took over op-
eration of the business after her
daughter's criminal case con-
cluded.
"To be fair, tax law must ap-
ply uniformly to all businesses,"
said Jim Zingale, executive direc-
tor of the Department of Rev-
enue. "Tax cheats steal money
that the public pays to support
vital public services, such as law
enforcement and education."

Sheriff's Office

Will Have Unit

Working Traffic
Deputy Mike Helms and the
Wakulla County Sheriff's Office
Traffic Unit will be taking radar
readings in Crawfordville and
Panacea during the week of July
25.
On July 25, the unit will be at
Taff Drive and Wakulla Arran

Road. On July 26, the unit will be
on C.J. Spears Road and New
Light Church Road. Wakulla Gar-
dens and Lower Bridge- Road will
host the unit July 27. On July 28,
the unit will be at Harvey Mill
Road and Emmett Whaley Road.
On Friday, July 29, the unit will
be at Clark Drive, Jer-Be-Lou Road
and Otter Lake Road in Panacea,
The traffic detail will be tar-
geting speeders and aggressive
drivers.

getting up out of roadside
bushes.
Kessler, a retired orthopedic
surgeon, suffered two cracked
ribs in the incident, as well as
high blood pressure and other
problems. He sighed and looked
at his hands in his lap when the
verdict was read,
Defense attorney Frank Shef-
field contended in his closing
that Kessler provoked the inci-
dent and that Keith Vause used
justifiable force.
"The evidence shows," Shef-
field told jurors, "that Mr. Kessler
got mad about being 'man-
handled' by Mr. Henry Vause and
then he got aggressive with Keith

Vause and wouldn't let him
leave."
Assistant State Attorney
Adrienne Soule, who prosecuted
the case, warned jurors not to get
distracted by the defense's "rab-
bit holes." The "Make Henry
Lonely" political signs, the ten-
sion between Henry Vause and'
Kessler over the signs, these mat-
ters were intended to create a
smokescreen around the real is-
sue, Soule said.
The real issue, Soule said, was
whether Keith Vause was so
afraid of Kessler that he had to
push him down. And she por-
trayed the incident as Keith Vause
confronting the man who had

upset his uncle that day.
During the trial, several wit-
nesses described Vause, who is
38, as giving a football-type chuck
block to Kessler, who is in his 60s.
After the trial, Sheffield went
back to where the Vause family
and supporters were gathered
and said, "Well, the good guys
won another one."
In the hallway outside the
courtroom, a smiling Commis-
sioner Vause shook a reporter's
hand and said: "This was a good
day."
Kessler left the courtroom and
went upstairs to the prosecutor's
office,

week of robbery with a weapon
for a hold up of Shields Marina
back in May 2004,

ated for about an hour and a half

display, then went to the cash
register, placed a pack of gum on
the counter and then pulled a
handgun and told her to "back
away." The robber leaned on the
counter as he pulled money from
the cash drawer.
Stanley picked Moore out of a
photo lineup several weeks after
the robbery. Meanwhile, the
Florida Department of Law En-
forcement matched a palm print
found on the glass counter with
Moore's prints on file.
At the time of Moore's arrest,
Wakulla County Sheriff's Depu-
ties searched his truck and found
a pellet pistol that looked like a
Colt 1911 .45-caliber pistol. The
Marksman air pistol could fire
BBs, pellets or darts,
Prosecutor Mike Bauer con-
tended that the replica was used-
in the robbery.
Moore was represented in the
trial by Tallahassee attorney Paul
Villeneuve.
In other court matters this
week:
Kenneth Weinberg, the Mis-
sissippi man found guilty at his
trial last month on kidnapping
and rape, has filed a motion for
a new trial.

"A Division of Pennyworth h

Weinberg appeared by tele-
phone at a hearing on Thursday,
July 14, before Judge Sauls.
Weinberg is to be sentenced
in August. He represented him-
self at his trial after firing five
attorneys who had been ap-
pointed for him. For his sentenc-
ing hearing, Weinberg requested
he be appointed a lawyer by the
court -' and asked by name for
attorney Marie Mattox.
Mattox is a Tallahassee attor-
ney who specializes in discrimi-
nation cases. She is not on the
list as a criminal defense attor-
ney for indigent defendants who
have a conflict with the public
defender's office.
Judge Sauls appointed lawyer
Gregory Cummings, who was in
the courtroom on another mat-
ter, to represent Weinberg.
The judge chided Weinberg
that Cummings will represent
him only at the sentencing, that
he is not being appointed to as-
sist Weinberg with his appeal or
to serve as his law clerk or inves-
tigator.
"The defendant's right to rep-
resent himself is not a guarantee
of a fair trial but is a guarantee
of a defendant's right to make a
fool of himself," Judge Sauls told
Weinberg.
Leon Circuit Judge Janet
Ferris issued an order last weekJ
refusing to recuse herself from:iai
civil lawsuit filed by Wakulla fish-
ermen over the legality of a net
rule.
Wakulla Commercial Fisher-
men had requested Judge Ferris
disqualify herself from the case.
because her husband, First Dis-
trict Court of Appeal Judge Phil
Padovano, had ruled against the
fishermen in past cases. Fisher-
men claimed they feared they

would not get a fair trial.
In an order signed July 13,
Judge Ferris found the grounds
were legally insufficient.
Fishermen had originally filed
the lawsuit in Wakulla County,
but agreed to transfer the case to
Leon when attorneys for the state
Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission argued that the
proper venue was in Tallahassee
because the agency's headquar-
ters are there.
Fishermen have objected to a
rule requiring nets to have mesh
no larger than two inches stretch,
claiming such a rule increases
bycatch and killing in violation
of the F'ated intent of the rule.
Larger mesh nets are more com-
mercially viable for catching mul-'
let, the fishermen contend, and
give juvenile fish an opportunity
to escape.

Disaster

Continued from Page 1
To speed up the application
process applicants will need their
currentt telephone number: their
address at the time of the disas-
:er and where they are staying if
:hey are not able to return to their
evidencee; their Social Security
number; a general list of damages
and losses; directions to their
property; and the name of their
insurancee company and their
?olicy number,
Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency (FEMA) staff mem-
Ders from the Pensacola assis-
:ance center were in Wakulla
county last week surveying dam-
age along the Wakulla County
:oast. The FEMA surveys with
Wakulla-County Emergency Man-
agement Director Joe Blanchard
:f the Wakulla County Sheriff's
Office led to the individual and
business disaster declaration,
On Friday, July 15, Congress-
man Allen Boyd and Congress-
man Jim Davis of Tampa flew
from Washington, DC to Waktilla
County to survey the damage.
Boyd's North Florida Congres-
sional District stretches all the
way to Destin in the western
portion of the state. After leav-
ing Wakulla County, Boyd sur-
veyed Franklin County and planned
to visit other panhandle counties.
"It reminds us of who is in
charge," said Boyd of the hurri-
cane. "You think you've seen it
all and the next one brings some-
thing different. But we didn't suf-
fer any loss of lives. We can fix
things that are broken. We can
count ourselves fortunate."
FEMA officials said they will
remain in the Disaster Recovery
Center in Crawfordville, set up at
the extension facility "as long as
it takes to serve everybody."
Blanchard said preliminary
estimates of damage include 452
structures damaged with 185 of
the structures suffering major
damage and 34 buildings being
condemned. Blanchard added
that the statistics are likely to
increase as repair work continues.
While all of the coast was hit
hard by Hurricane Dennis, law
enforcement officials on the
scene said that Shell Point, Oys-
ter Bay .iid Ochlockonee Baylhad
some of the worst storm surge
damage. The public beach at
Mash Island Park was destroyed.
Law enforcement officials
from Wakulla, Taylor and Leon
counties manned security posts
protecting Shell Point, Spring
Creek, St. Marks, and Ochlock-
onee Bay for a week after Dennis
struck. Only residents, contrac-
tors and emergency workers were
allowed to pass through the
checkpoints to eliminate the pos-
sibility of looting.
Wakulla County Commission-
er Ed Brimner said debris pickup
will continue for an undeter-
mined amount of time. He added
that FEMA will reimburse the
county for pickup along public
roads only, but county officials
will pick up along private roads
when necessary and foot the cost
without federal help,
Major Maurice Langston of the
sheriff's office said the passing
of the storm July 10 has not
slowed down calls from resi-
dents. Major Langston, Blanchard
and other public officials said
Wakulla County has been fortu-
nate that many volunteers have
helped with cleanup.
"The volunteers have been
very helpful," said Langston.
"People are grateful." Catholic,
Methodist and Latter-Day Saint
ministries have been assisting
victims along with the Red Cross
and the volunteer firefighters.
A steady distribution of ice
and water has been given out so
that residents remained hydrated.
"The bottled water was for hydra-
tion," said Langston. "There are
no problems with municipal wa-
ter sources."
Blanchard added that work
crews from the sheriff's office
and Wakulla Correctional Institu-
tion have been busy doing field
work as well. "Every available
trustee that we could let out was
out," said Blanchard.
Captain Randall Taylor of the
WCSO Patrol Unit said residents

were frustrated about not being
able to get back to their homes
after the flooding. "They weren't
allowed in right away because the
conditions just weren't safe," he
said. Restricted access to homes
began late Sunday, July 10.
Captain Taylor said deputies
worked an 84 hour week after
Dennis and were appreciative of
the assistance from the surround-
ing counties which allowed offic-
ers to receive some rest. "They.
have worked a minimum of 12

hour days since it happened,"
said Taylor.
Major Langston said hurricane
center officials have become pro-
ficient in predicting the potential
path of the hurricanes but "can't
predict wave action on the com-
puter models." FEMA officials
said Wakulla County's shallow
bays helped create the large
storm surge washing inland.
"There are a lot of things still
to be addressed behind the
scenes," said Langston.
Congressman Boyd said FEMA
officials have done an outstand-
ing job in helping residents cope
with hurricane damage. "FEMA
has really turned itself into a first
class preparation and response
organization," said Boyd. "They
have made significant changes
since the 1990s. We have a world
class EOC (emergency operations
center) in Tallahassee. We need
to keep money flowing into the
pipeline. This thing works right."
' Numerous donations of goods
have poured in to the coastal ar-
eas to help victims. Winn-Dixie
Store Director Maurice Burgess
donated 2,500 gallons of water for
the sheriff's office and volunteer
firefighters to distribute.
Vendors saved boxes for gro-
cery store officials to donate to
victims to give coastal residents
something in which to load sal-
vaged property.
Nationwide Insurance donated
5,000 pounds of ice, water, paper
supplies and items such as baby
supplies at the Johnson Insurance
office in Crawfordville. The sup-
plies were distributed to victims
of the hurricane three days last
week.
Comcast Cablevision techni-
cians distributed cold drinking
water as they drove around the
county last week. Comcast offi-
cials said they wanted to give resi-
dents of the county who had not
had a cold drink for days an op-
portunity to quench their thirst.
Several elderly residents of
Wakulla County have compared
the storm surge from Dennis to
storms in the early 1940s while
one individual compared it to a
storm of the late 1920s.
Normally the month of July
does hot produce as strong a hur-
ricane as Dennis, Major Langston
concluded. The good news is that
there no fatalities but the
bad news is that the 2005 hurri-
.cane season will not be over un-
til Nov. 30.
Risk Management Solutions,
the world's, leading provider of
products and services for the
management of catastrophe risk,
estimated the overall losses from
Dennis at $1 to $3 billion.

ment of Environmental Protec-

neers to make some waterways
passable.
Wakulla County Health De-
partment Director Marlon Hunter
said his staff worked through the
storm and other health officials
were called in to help Wakulla.
Officials checked for water, food
and hygiene safety issues at the
shelter and completed field as-
sessments to make sure residents
were healthy following the storm.
A few minor injuries were re-
ported at Red Cross stations,

"WHEW"
The last week was sure a doozie!
There was no column last week
due to the unexpected storm surge
from Dennis and the subse-quent
power outages. My heart goes out
to those who lost their homes and
I'm thankful that life for most of
us is getting back to some
semblance of normalcy. Also, rmy
heartfelt thanks goes to all those
folks who pitched in to help those
in need. It was truly amazing to
watch whole neighborhoods come
together to help each other. We
always talk about how important
neighborhood selection is in
home buying. At least in our neck
of the woods, we're blessed with
outstanding neighbors ready to
help at any time.

But, since this is a real estate
column, let's talk about "open
listings." An "open listing" is
mostly used by people selling
their own homes (For Sale By
Owner) who are willing to work
with real estate agents. Basically,
it gives an agent the right to
bring buyers around to view the
home. If their client buys your
home, the agent earns a com-
mission. There is nothing exclu-
sive about an open listing and a
home seller can give out such
listings to every agent that comes
around.
As always, contact me for any
of your real estate needs and you
all be careful out there.

Millage
Continued from Page 1
Commissioner Maxie Lawhon
added that board members can-
not increase the tentative millage
but can go lower, "It's going to
go below 9.5," he said. "We all
know that."

and 1.0 mill in 2003-04. Discre-
tionary levy accounts for .76 mills,
debt service is .57 mills, and capi-
tal outlay is 2.0 mills.
The total millage levied has
decreased by 1.5 mills since 2000-
01.
The budget of $33,821,070 is an
11 percent increase over last
year's budget of $30,381,052. This
year's proposed budget includes
the purchase of five new buses,
allocation for technology up-
grades in the district, renovation
of the Pre-Kindergarten building,
and a new field house at the high
school.
Of the $33 million proposed
budget, more than $23 million is
from state funds.
A worksheet on financial and
demographic data in the district
shows that the number of stu-
dents has increased from 4,113 in
1994-95 to 4,765 last year. Rev-
enue per student has increased
from $4,737 in '94-95 to $5,663 in
'99-2000 to $6,701 in 2004-05.
Advertisement of the tentative
budget and village is to run in
the July 28 edition of The Wakulla
News, The Aug. 1 meeting will
begin at 5:30 p.m. with the pub-
lic hearing on the budget set for
6 p.m.
School Board Chairman Greg
Thomas said he was concerned
that having to advertise the mill-
age as a tax increase would lead
to confusion among some citi-
zens who might not understand
that the proposed levy is a de-
crease in millage, though the
value of a mill has increased.

dents. The 26 week assistance
period for Hurricane Dennis will
end Jan. 14.
Individuals applying for the

tion number if they are not a U.S.

Accident
Continued from Page 1
FHP officials have not deter-
mined if seat belts were in use at
the time of the crash or if alco-
hol was involved. Eby was taken
to a Tallahassee hospital where
he is listed in serious condition.
Both vehicles were heavily dam-
aged. Charges are pending,
Trooper M.J. King was the
crash investigator while Corporal
Donnie Pitts was the homicide
investigator.

Management Director Joe Blan-

"We're going to have to do a
little better job with our services,"
said Langston, Brimner added
that the reserve fund must be
. built up. "We need a third ambu-
lance location in Wakulla Sta-
tion," said Brimner.
Resident Vic Lambou told the
board that they should consider
a reduction in millage since the
county tax roll has increased by
$364 million or nearly triple the
increase from 2003 to 2004,
Resident John Trice said the
millage should stay at 9.5 to pro-
vide more ambulances and fire
service, "We need to keep it at
9.5," he said, "People can live with
that, 9.5 is not going to kill any-
one."
Commissioner Kessler said
county commissioners have not
supported lower millage rates
over the years. "Historically, we
don't cut," he stated. "I recom-
mend 7.5. It's still more than what
we raised last year. I'm fearful
that the offices (department
heads and constitutional officers)
will come in and we're going to
turn over the money. We need to
make each portion of our govern-
ment as efficient as possible,"

Wakulla County Administrator
Parrish Barwick said department
requests have been submitted.
"Folks (county officials) have
made some hefty requests," he
said. "There will be some hard
decisions."
Board members asked Barwick
to develop a budget with line
items for 9.5 mills, 8.5 mills and
7.5 mills. "I plan to give you more
than that," he told the board.
The first public hearing on the
2005-2006 budget will be held
Tuesday, Sept. 13 at 6 p.m.
Last year one mill generated
approximately $750,000 while,
this year it will generate approxi-
mately $1 million. The roll back
rate is 6.82 mills. The roll back
rate is the village rate that will
generate the same amount of tax
dollars as the previous year, tak-
ing into account higher property
assessments and growth.
