Page 12 Published Weekly, Read Daily Maritime Grant Eyed In Panacea By KEITH BLACKMAR Of The Wakulla News Wakulla County Commis- sioners will try to acquire grant funding through the Florida Communities Trust (FCT) Grant Program to create a maritime museum and his- torical park in Wakulla Coun- ty. Commissioners agreed to pursue funding for the pro - jects which supporters hope will become home to the Big Bend Maritime Museum in Panacea and a historical park where the county historical society can locate historical structures. Local governments can apply for grants of up to $6.6 million with no match re- quirement to provide funding to acquire community-based parks, open space, and green- ways that further outdoor rec- reation and natural resource protection. In past funding cycles, Wakulla County has used the grant funds to purchase the beach at Shell Point, acquire a former restaurant in Pana- cea for use as a welcome cen- ter and acquire proper y at Purify Bay to provide a boat ramp and parking access. The grant application dead- line is in March, said Wakulla County Grants and Special Projects Coordinator Pam Portwood. Portwood said the FCT grants are "research in- tensive to write." "Generally, the most com- petitive applications are those that will acquire land to pre- serve natural areas, restore degraded natural areas or pro- vide passive outdoor recre- ation, environmental and cul- tural education opportuni- ties," said Portwood. Resident Bill Lowrie stated his support for the Big Bend Maritime Museum and added that the plan lacks a location for the, facility. "The county applying for the grant is the very best way to do that," said Lowrie of land acquisition.

An order from the state Pub- lic Employee Relations Com- mission directs the county to hire Alfred Nelson, a disabled veteran, for the post of county veteran services officer, a post that has been held by Don Morgan, a wartime vet, According to PERC, the county miscalculated in giving points to the candidates for the position. With a maximum of 270 points possible, Morgan re- ceived a score of 235 points including five points for his status as a wartime veteran. Nelson had a score of 228 points in the interview, includ- ing 10 points as a disabled vet- eran. Based on the policy of hiring the candidate with the highest score, Morgan was rec- ommended and hired. But PERC found that the county had not given enough credit as a disabled veteran.

Students at Trinity Luth- eran Preschool, above, could hardly contain them- selves Wednesday, Feb. 1 as school officials ar- ranged for 6,000 pounds of man-made snow to be trucked into Wakulla County from Thomasville. GA. At left, the 40 young- sters had to wait as the snow was unloaded, a dif- ficult task for 3, 4 and 5 year olds who have never seen snow. Finally, below, the children were allowed to "charge" and had a great time making snowballs, eating snow and slipping and sliding all over. Orga- nizers said the special event gave teachers an opportunity to teach about the change of seasons and what makes snow. (Photos by Lynda Kinsey) Businesses To Pay For Vision Businesses To Pay For Vision Business owners in down- town Crawfordville will be asked to foot the $15,000 cost of a second phase of vision- ing for the county seat. Wa- kulla County Commissioners agreed to ask the business owners to pay for the $15,000 match required through a Florida Department of Com- munity Affairs (DCA) grant. Wakulla County Grants and Special Projects Coordina- tor Pam Portwood and Coun- ty Commissioner Howard Kessler said the visioning plan for the downtown area has lacked input from busi- nesses along the U.S. High- way 319 corridor. "The visioning project won't mean much if the busi- ness owners don't buy into it," said Portwood. DCA provided funding for the first phase of the vision- ing process and consultant WilsonMiller of Tallahassee created a summary report of the two visioning workshops that have already been held. The consultant has compiled the input received at the workshops and finalized a conceptual master plan for the area. The suggestions included visual preferences, street- scapes, sidewalks, crosswalks, desirable retail shopping ap- pearances, residential archi- tectural preferences, traffic calming and roundabouts, signs, recreation and open space. Commissioner Kessler said citizens are interested in giv- ing input about Crawfordville visioning but, "What is the county doing with the infor- mation?" he asked. "Are we listening to the citizens?"

A lawsuit was filed the next busi- ness day against interim Prop- erty Appraiser Anne Ahrendt, claiming Skipper was the vic- tim of racial discrimination, retaliation, gender discrimina- tion and, as well, alleging that Ahrendt committed battery by striking Skipper in the fore- head last year. Skipper was reportedly fired from the property appraiser's office, where she has been employed for 21 years, on Fri- day, Feb. 3. Late in the after- noon on Monday, Feb. 6, her lawsuit was filed by attorney Marie Mattox in Wakulla Cir- cuit Court seeking more than $15,000 in damages. Ahrendt was appointed to the post of interim property appraiser in May 2005 to fill the remaining term of Kilgore, who died only months after being re-elected to a four year term.. ... . Skipper was also one of a number of candidates who applied for the appointment. She also currently holds elec- tive office in Sopchoppy; where she is a city commis- sioner. In May 2005, Skipper filed a discrimination complaint against Ahrendt with the state Public Employees Relations Commission. Skipper remained employed at the property appraiser's of- fice after filing her PERC com- plaint, though she claimed she was essentially left without any meaningful work assign- ments. Her lawsuit claims that on. Friday, Ahrendt "contrived an allegation against (Skipper) regarding the registration of a mobile home owned by (Skipper's) parents to attempt to legitimate the illegal firing of (Skipper). "(Skipper) has, at all times, paid taxes in accordance with the practices of the Wakulla County Property Appraiser's Office and Ahrendt cannot change policies and apply them retroactively and selec- tively to fire (Skipper) in an attempt to hide her illegal motives," the lawsuit states. The battery complaint ap- pears to be the same alleged incident referred to in the PERC complaint, alleging that, shortly after taking office, Ahrendt poked Skipper in the forehead with a finger four times. Skipper, who is black; claims she is a victim of racial discrimination because "she was treated differently than similarly situated white em- ployees of (Ahrendt) and has been subject to hostility and poor treatment on the basis, at least in part, of her race." Ahrendt is white. The firing is the result of Skipper reporting unlawful employment practices and the adverse employment action taken against her after that, according to the lawsuit as the basis of the charge of retalial tion. Skipper also claims to have suffered discrimination be- cause she is a female, saying she was the victim of dispar- Please turn to Page 13 Sheriff's Report........Page 17 Sports.....................Page 8 Week In Wakulla......Page 5. _ ~e I I I- I L r- I -I I I ~aItullw Aelllrs Page 2-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Feb. 9, 2006 Comment and Opinion Established In Wakulla County In 1895 Growth + More Wildlife Interaction = More Injured Animals Editor, The News: I wanted to thank Alleasha for her opinion in last week's issue of The Wakulla News. My family and I are the founders of Florida Wild Mammal Association, which is located at our home off of Edgar Poole Rd. FWMA was incorporated in 1994 and has since served our community in a variety of ways includ- ing caring for sick and injured wildlife. ' Last year FWMA took in over 1,000 wildlife patients, many as the result of Hurri- cane Dennis. The storm ar- rived during the baby season, our busiest time of the year. The center was already full when we received 156 baby pelicans of which all needed to be hand fed, Many other centers and organizations lent a helping hand but, I have to say, if it weren't for our kids we would have never made it through. When I say our kids, I don't mean kids that are biologi- cally ours, except for Jessica. I mean kids who have be- come so involved in the daily running of FWMA that we think of them as our kids. FWMA is staffed by two adults, six high school stu,' dents, and many volunteers, young and old. Letters Over the years, hundreds of young people have given their time to help us care for the animals we take in. These students have been a work- ing part of the organization and without them FWMA would not be able to accom- plish all that it does. Thanks to Wakulla High for introducing us to so many helping hands through such programs as TOPPS, OJT, Learn and Serve Grant Pro- gram, Scholarship Commu- nity Service, ROTC, Mrs. Chancey's Environmental Sci- ence class, and numerous other wonderful programs. I commend these students. Wakulla Reaches Out To Help Storm Victims many of whom have been with us for years, for giving time from their lives to help the animals. We have watched many of them grow up and go off to college, and a lot of the stu- dents end up studying in ani- mal-related fields. They will- ingly learn to care for the in- jured wildlife that have been wounded due to interaction with humans. Most of these animals have been hit by cars, caught by dogs or cats, caught in fish- ing lines, poisoned, shot, etc. These are all situations that are not natural and would not happen unless humans were here, Yes, as much as people don't like to hear it, the truth is that as our county grows in population, we develop more areas to succumb to our needs and wants of stores, housing subdivisions, etc. This increases the interac- tions between humans and. our wild neighbors, which, in turn, causes problems like more animals getting injured. Very few people actually take responsibility for the impact they're making on our area. Wakulla is growing by leaps and bounds. The reason people are attracted to our area is because of the natural beauty it possesses tower- ing trees, crystal springs, and untouched beaches. These make our county a landmine for outdoor activities and places that take you away Editor, The News: we were eager to reach out from the hectic city lite.

You Get Great Return On Tree Investment Editor, The News: Bravo to Jack Rudloe and Hugh Taylor for their letters in the Feb. 2 edition of The News concerning the tree is- sue in the .county and the negative changes taking place in Wakulla County. Many years ago L gave the following item to Kate Brim- berry for her column and I think it bears repeating at this time. Plant a Tree: Plant a tree this year. You can't get a bet- ter return on your money. In the first 50 years that tree will give back $31,250 worth of oxygen, $62,500 in air pollu- tion control, $31,250 in soil that won't wash away (erode), and $31, 250 in shelter for ani- mals and birds. And that doesn't count the saving in heating and cooling costs if you plant wind breaks or summer shades, or the cost increase in the cost value of your home because of trees. Let's keep Wakulla green. Bonnie Sturchio Sopchoppy Thanks For The Help Editor, The News: I want to publicly thank the young man in the brown Ford who changed my tire after work Friday in heavy, quitting time traffic. I couldn't reach my hus- band on his cell phone. Our grown daughter was afraid I'd get stuck in Tallahassee after dark before I reached my hus- .band. She got to me just af- ter this Good Samaritan did. "Mike" wouldn't take any money but only a "thank you." He was very polite ("yes" and "no mam.") I only caught his first name because 'I'm hard of hearing. As he pulled out right be- fore me, I noticed his license plate was Wakulla Countyl I smiled ever so big since I'm also from Wakulla County. Thanks, Mikel Cathy Newberry Crawfordville How We Will Serve Them? Editor, The News: I've been looking at the new plat amendments for Crawfordville and the coun- ty and by my rough estimates we will have 680 new houses, :to which we are promising 'water and sewage services. We are also going to have 287 'new houses-homes to which ,are promising water services. My major concern is where the sewage treatment facility will be and where the water will come from. By further estimating, by averaging three family mem- bers to a house, that equals 2,741 new people. I know they are coming but how can we continue to serve them well? Susie Inlow Crawfordville Editor, The News: Saturday evening, Jan. 28, my wife, sister, her husband and I attended the Sopchoppy Opry which featured the Southbound Band and the High Mileage Band. Both were outstanding. We en- joyed the entire program im- mensely, especially the trum- pet playing by Superinten- dent David Miller. The High Mileage Band's style and era of music 'were superb and most appreciated by all.; Having said the above, may I now say how impres- sive the restoration and pres- ervation of the Sopchoppy High School auditorium has come to be. The entrance to the school and the school auditorium looked almost the same as it did some 52 years ago when I walked onto the stage to accept my high school diploma. The restora- tion and likeness of the way it "used to be" is outstanding. It was indeed exciting just to be there again. Now, may I further say vis- iting the school for the first time in many years was such a pleasure, but even more so were the fond memories of the past coming to the pres- ent. To see so many friends that I have known for many years was most enjoyable. Finally, my hat is off to fesse Quigg and his staff for their efforts to preserve a part of what is one of Wakulla County's most valued and prestigious historical sites. The Sopchoppy High School. will remain such a site as long as people such as these continue their efforts for the valued school restoration and preservation. Surely efforts such as these will continue. James M. Roddenberry Tallahassee citizens is written each week, and the main conflict seems to be development: from the general look of the place to the health of our environ- ment, And yet it continues, without thought to our future, as if we had unlimited re- sources. Allesha, you are a very smart young lady who has learned something that many from my generation don't seem to realize. I thank you for pointing out how develop- ment is affecting our wildlife population and environment. We, as humans, are all con- sumers of. ur environment; even the most environmen- tally conscious people use up resources in order to exist on our planet. But it's also our responsi- bility to give a little back in return for what we use up. We can all contribute to making a brighter future for Wakulla, one that we are all proud of. There are little things we.can all do, such as recycling, plant- ing native trees, or volunteer- ing for community projects. Then there are larger proj- ects, such as creating new laws that protect our trees and wetlands, establishing and enforcing mitigation laws, and educating yourself before you vote. And yes, FWMA could sure use the help of our commu- nity, developers, or the coun- ty. Our three largest needs are to provide indoor facilities for our critical care patients, land to use as a public education center, and general funding for the feed and medical care of our animals. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Allesha, we are,proud to call you one of "our kids." Thanks to you and all of the kids who make the center that we know and love today.

There are again problems with the Wakulla hiring process. Wak- ulla County just lost a legal challenge and now has to not only hire a person who was not hired as the Veteran's Service Officer but also has to pay back pay from. when he should have been hired. He is an African-American. When are we going to learn to hire according to the law? Wakulla County is lucky it was not sued when the most qualified person was not hired for the position of community development di- rector. Donnie Sparkman. was hired with no formal educa- tion or degrees of a planner although the county's adver- tisement for that position asked for certification of AICP. I was told before the count- y advertised for the position that the position was already filled, that the person was already told that he was go- ing to be hired. I was told the person getting the job was Donnie Sparkman. Only one candidate had that certification. Only one candidate had a Master's in City Planning (M.C.P.), a Bach- elor of Science in Business Administration, 48 units to- ward a Doctorate in City Plan- ning and 48 semester units in an Environmental Science Doctoral Program. It wasn't Donnie Spark- man, he had no education in planning and the county com- mission hired him giving him credit for planning experi- ence when he only had plan- ning as a surveyor. Oh, the candidate who did ,not get the job worked as a redevelopment director for the City of Ouincy, as a plan- ner/consultant for the North Florida Education Develop- ment of Community Affairs, as a project specialist for the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, as a planner for a private cor- poration and was a member of both the Florida and na- tional APA. The list goes on. If you have any questions about the candidate's qualifi- cations, it is public record. Go to the.county administrator's office and ask for them. So,why wasn't the quali- fied candidate hired? Did the candidate live in our county? Yes, and had two children enrolled in our school system, So why wasn't she hired? Oops, was the candidate a woman? Yes.. Was she part of the good ole boy clique? No, she wasn't. Was there some- thing strange about her hus- band? He was retired honor- ably from a military career.

County commissioners ironed out the details of a new three year contract. Board members held a work- shop on the subject and also discussed the matter during the regular portion of the meeting before eventually settling on the details of the, pact. The vote on the new con- tract passed 4-1 with Commis- sioner Ed Brimner voting in the minority. Brimner asked the board to include "conflict of interest" language in the contract that would prohibit the county administrator and his family from being, in- volved in real estate transac- tions in Wakulla County. Brimner said contractors in the county "have serious con- flicts of interest" that may give the public the appear- ance of something "unethical or dishonest." But the rest of the board did not support Brimner's language changes. "I'm not for making any of thesechanges," saiI Commis- sioner Maxie Lawhon. "He has every right to develop ,property," Decisions made by the county administrator may be "good for him at the expense of the public," Brimner re- sponded. "I disagree," Lawhon said. "We haven't had any prob- lems. To me, this looks like a witch hunt and I will not agree to it." Commissioner Brian Lang- ston added that he could not support the proposed reduc- tion of Barwick's family health insurance from 100 percent paid coverage to 75 percent. Langston said the county administrator should have the full insurance cover- age as a benefit. Wakulla County Attorney Ron Mowrey said Florida Stat- utes address issues involving elected and government offi- cials abulih~"their positions.' "You certainly.can abuse your position," said Mowrey. "But there are statutes that deal with what you can do as,a government employee." "It's time for the county to do what's right for the pub- lic," Brimner said. "He can develop in Leon County and other counties, just not Wa- kulla. He should not be in a position to be able to do him- * self favors;" "He has great influence on the next road that's going to be paved," Brimner added. "He has no say in'that. We have to vote on it," responded Commissioner Lawhon. "I've' 'got a lot more influence on what road gets paved than he does. I don't think he's got a conflict of interest." Commissioner Howard Kessler suggested placing the. conflict of interest language in theemployee handbook in the ethics section but not within the contract. While Barwick has not signed the new contract, he said the Feb. 6 vote was a step in the right direction. "I'll con- tinue to work for Wakulla County as long as you want me to," he told the board. "I have a contract in place and I've worked for Wakulla Coun- ty for nine years." "I haven't talked to him about this but I think he feels like its a personal attack. It's a slap in the face of Mr. Barwick," said Commissioner Lawhon. "I don't have a conflict of interest," said Barwick, who added that owning property within the county did not cre- ate a conflict of interest. If he sold sewer pumps to the county and had an interest in the pump company, that would create a conflict of in- terest, Barwick said making a comparison. "I don't support telling my mother or my kids that they can't buy a piece of property in the county," he said. Chapter 112 of Florida Stat- utes addresses public officials and'their conduct, said attor- ney Mowrey. "In general, it speaks to everything you're. talking about. It's the law anyway." Commissioners approved their version of the contract with an increase in the num- ber of months worth of sev- erance pay the county admin- istrator would receive. The severance package increased from six to nine months.

(tk T New tSa5 If any of you have cable and receive the National Geo- graphic Channel I would like you to check out a great one hour program. It airs on Fri- day nights at 8 p.m. It is called the "dog whisperer." The pro- gram is very interesting and the Dog Whisperer's name is Cesar Millan. His motto is: "I rehabilitate dogs and train people." It is truly amazing to watch that man work with the most difficult cases without force and amazing how he makes it possible for owners who are at the end of their wits to keep animals that would oth- erwise be marked for eutha- nasia. It also shows how well meaning dog owners some- times unknowingly mess up their animals by not letting their dogs be dogs. Cesar Millan is called "the Dr. Phil for dogs." Canine violence is the tragic outcome of humans who own dogs but do not properly fulfill the need of man's best friend. By learn- ing and understanding dog psychology, one can live in harmony with canines thr- ough proper communication. There are several web sites for Mr. Millan. He sells DVDs and his new book is due in April. Even though our annual Antique Rose Sale is a few months away, I would like to let you know that the sale will be held on April 22. We have quite a few new variet- ies and the young roses al- ready look quite good. Every penny from this sale goes to the benefit of the Wakulla Animal Shelter.

Jones, Tanner Jones With Mother Sarabeth And Coaches Tanner Jones Signs With Troy Wakulla High School offi- cially lost its starting quarter- back and head football coach Wednesday, Feb. 1 as Na- tional Signing Day arrived and Tanner Jones selected the Troy Trojans as his next team. Head Coach J.D. Jones, who will step aside and let someone else be head coach in the spring, is a former Troy; Trojan as is his daughter and Tanner's sister, Sally. Sally Jones is finishing her senior season at the Alabama univer- sity on a softball scholarship. The scholarship signing was attended by many of Tan- ner Jones' .teammates and a huge gathering of friends who were pleased to wish Jones well in the War Eagle Cafe. Coach Jones said his son has been to Troy several times to watch the Trojans. play, but took the official NCAA recruiting visit three weeks ago. Jones threw for a school record 2,300 yards during his senior season and 24,touch.. dowHns. "ffe threw f6 ,160 yards in his high schoolca- reer which is another school record. Jones tossed 81 touch- down passes in his career while being intercepted 22 times. The career record for touchdown passes at Wakulla High School also belongs to Jones. He was a first team All-Big Bend selection by the Talla- hassee Democrat and an Hon- orable Mention All-State player. He played in the FACA North/South All-Star Game in The Villages near Ocala and the High School All-American East/West All-Star Game in Shreveport, LA. Jones is also a baseball and basketball player for the War Eagles. "It's great," said Tanner Jones of his scholarship op- portunity. "I'm happy to be going. It was my plan all along. I'm signing my life away." In addition to four years on the high school varsity, Jones played three years at Wakulla Middle School and played youth football as well. He hopes to get into journalism and broadcasting after his college days end, he said. Many former War Eagle football athletes attended the signing including several who are employed by the school district. "This is a big day today," said Principal Randy New- land. "We are very proud of Tanner. We have seen him lit- erally grow up. He has grown up in a whole lot of ways. He is well prepared and will rep- resent us well." Coach Jones thanked all of the many football program supporters for contributing to the success of the program in ,th last 30 years. "As a father, it's a big mo- ment in my life." he said, "It's every father's dream to have his son play at the next level. I promise you he has been coached very hard." Despite being hard on Tanner from time to time, Jones said his son will still "put his arm around me and tell me he loves me." "We're very excited for him," said Sarabeth Jones. "He's worked very hard throw- ing before school to keep his arm strength up." Sarabeth said she still has fond memo- ries of her son serving as a ballboy at WHS games at Reynolds Stadium. A young. Tanner ran the sideline as Wakulla threat- ened to score a touchdown. "I can still see him raising his arms right before we scored a touchdown," Sarabeth said, "We're very proud of him," said Superintendent David Miller. "We want the Trojans to win every game they play, even the FSU game." FSU and Troy play in Tallahassee on Sept. 9. Jones also received schol- arship offers from Florida A & M University, Valdosta State University, The Citadel and others. Coach Jones and David Miller coached together in 1973 as the War Eagle junior varsity team began to produce Wakulla's first NCAA Division 1 athletes in Robert Newman and Rhuben Mathers who went to Georgia Tech. Jones has 29 years as the head coach, the second longest ac- tive tenure of a football head coach at the same school in the entire state.

The school district will be looking for a new football coach to replace J.D. Jones in the coming month. SuperintendentDavid Mil- ler said the district will adver- tise for a new coach after the Florida Writesl and FCAT ses- sions conclude in February. Miller said Wakulla will have a new head coach in time for spring football which begins on May 1. Coach J.D, Jones is expected to stay on the staff as an assistant coach, but only wanted to coach through the endof son Tanner's career. "Right now we are focus- ing on Florida Writes! and FCAT," said Superintendent Miller. "He (Jones) will be hard to replace." Very few programs are for- tunate to have a coach will- ing to stay at the school for three decades, said Miller, who coached with Jones in 1973. Jones grew up in Wa- kulla County and played at Sopchoppy High School. Tan- ner will be his third child to graduate from Wakulla High School following Will and Sally. Coach Jones is planning to stay in his teaching posi- tion for a few more years. The last War Eagle head coach not to have the last name Jones was Rick Smith in the late 1970s, FSU Will Play Eight Home Games Florida State University re- leased the 2006 Seminole football schedule recently and Tallahassee fans will have eight opportunities to see FSU play in Tallahassee. The NCAA allows teams to schedule 12 regular season games and FSU has only four Atlantic Coast Conference road games against Miami, North Carolina State, Duke and Maryland. Miami will host FSU on Labor Day Sept. 4 and FSU will have three home games against Troy, Clemson and Rice before playing NC State in Raleigh. A home game against Boston College is sandwiched between road games at Duke and Maryland. The schedule concludes with four home games a- gainst Virginia, Wake Forest, Western Michigan and Flor- ida. The ACC championship game will be played Dec, 2 in Jacksonville. FSU won the in- augural game against Vir- ginia Tech last December.

Ia1ft LIME&ssiiis Page 10-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Feb. 9, 2006 Outdoors This is the time of year that fishing can be really tough and, believe me, it's really tough right now. Some people might catch some fish but the majority of the people going probably aren't going to catch anything. Our weath- er has been so strange this winter that the fish don't know what to do. The tides are good this weekend if you are going but I haven't heard a weather report. Mike Hopkins said he knows of only one person who. has been out of Lanark Village over the last week and he only caught a few short reds fishing the docks. The only report Scott had was one grouper being caught in about 40 feet of water. Juanise said she sold some shrimp over the weekend but heard no saltwater reports at all. She did say she heard Lake Ellen was producing quite a few speckled perch. I did hear a report of some- one trolling around the Wak- ulla Reef with big Rapalas and they caught nine nice grouper. One of my neigh- bors went last Wednesday and they caught a few shorts but no keepers. Another neighbor went to some of the shallow water reefs hoping to catch a sheep- shead but they had no luck at all. They used to do a lot of fishing out of Keaton Beach and this time of year the big sheepshead will move offshore.to a reef off Keaton Beach and you can load the boat. They spent time last year and some this year fish- ing the inshore reefs around here but with no success. I did hear also that some tailing reds were being seen around the Rock Garden and some big trout were in some of the deep holes on the flats. This would be a good time of year to replace the line on your reels and throw away all those rusty hooks in the bot- tom f your tackle box. Make sure your wheel bearings are greased and your outboard motor is running like it should. You don't want to end up on the side of the road with trailer problems or at the boat ramp trying to get your boat started when you know everyone is catching the fire out of fish. If we don't get any real cold weather for the rest of the year we should have trout moving onto the flats in good numbers around the end of February or beginning of March. Typically, fishing in our area for trout starts around the Aucilla and Econ- fina. Usually two weeks after Crossbow Season Is Created A crossbow hunting sea- son for private lands is in the works for 2006-07. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conserva- tion Commission (FWC) adopted new rules to estab- lish the new hunting season during its meeting Feb. 1 in Gainesville. The new season will pro- vide additional hunting op- portunities for crossbow hunters. It will also lengthen the overall hunting season and extend the number of days conventional bowhunters can use bows to take game, since bows will be legal dur- ing crossbow season. By GEORGE WEYMOUTH Whew.- I pulled it offl However, at 6:15 a.m. when I found I'd left the interior lights on in my mini-van all night and my battery was next to dead, I wasn't sure. After a few *I"@# and other such expletives I finally got it going. At last I was off to Lighthouse Road in the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. I parked next to a gate leading to "short dike" (I call it) separat- ing Mounds Pool #1 from Mounds Pool #2. Next, I unloaded Smy mountain bike from my vehicle, then proceeded to load up its basket with my geographic guide on birds of the&U.S.... some snacks and my Bushnell Spacemaster spotting scope. and a graphite collapsible tripod which, when collapsed, fits nicely into the basket neat. At 8:15 a.m., despite having a dead battery earlier, I was off on what I figured was an "all day solitary bike-a-thon"(for me) through the refuge. Quickly, I crossed the short dike and then headed south on another dike hugging the west side of Mounds Pool #3, and started recording the birds I'd observed visually or, in some cases, heard only. I'd peddle till either my legs got tired or my rear, (my scrawny buns don't fit too well on that skinny bike seat Hal) and occasionally setup the scope to view something way off out in those various pools. Otherwise, I'd use my 7 x 50 Ziess binoculars. For years I was a professional ornithologist, conducting field trips to many of southwest Florida's hot spots for wild- life. I got really good at recognizing birds and the only way I can keep that skill is by occasionally getting out in the filed for a refresher. So this was my objective on Wednesday, Feb. 1: to observe, observe, observe My first objective for the morn- ing was to bike on side dikes (whenever possible) to the lighthouse, which took me by Tower Pond, then Picnic Pond. At the lighthouse I checked out not only the coastal area but Lighthouse Pond, too. Then on the way back to the van I looked over Headquarters Pond as well for goodies. I'd planned for this day in the field nearly perfectly. It had to be a day when it was cool enough to keep the mosquitoes down, a day with little or no wind, so my scope wouldn't shake in the wind, a sunny day for good viewing, and a day without coastal "sea fog." Despite a light frost at dawn, by 8:15 I was biking with only a T-shirt and long sleeved fleece shirt. The day was perfect! When it frosts it means the north wind has finally laid down and, though it might be a little on the cool side at first, without the wind by 10 a.m. I was down to my T-shirt, with a slight north breeze behind me. But when I got to the lighthouse the light breeze gradually shifted, as predicted, more to the south and ended up again being to my back as I returned north to my van. After a light lunch and cat nap I headed on the dikes out to Stormy Bayou Pool #1. This is the area that drained after Hurricane Dennis, due to a ruptured dike; It's been fantastic for shorebirds and wad- ers and in the last six months has produced some really rare birds like white pelicans in the middle of the summer and then a lesser sand plover clear from Eurasia! I'd planned my bike route to not only have the wind to my back (if possible) but also have the sun to my back, too, which I did nearly all day, It was especially important at Stony Bayou #1 where the birds were so far out. Next I biked all around East Pool and came out on the old Leon grade at the refuge headquarters building, and eventu- ally back to my van. I saw two otter, one right by my parked van, and a few deer, too. I heard the high pitched rattling calls of sandhill cranes twice and heard a robin singing, too, which locally they rarely do. I also heard the drawn out scream of a red-tailed hawk and then could see an adult and a younger hawk soaring over East Pool up high. In Stony Bayou #1 I observed seven really neat Amer-Av- ocets in their winter plumage and thousands of shorebirds plus hundreds, if not a thousand or two, green-winged teal (but not one blue-wing?) I also observed 10 mallards, 30 N. Spintail, 30 N. shovelor, 8 gadwall, 40 widgeon, about 40 can- vasback (but no redheads?) and 12 lesser scaup. Plus 30 of the flashy buffleheads and about 12 red-breasted mergan- sers, including a couple of the striking drakes. I was in the field from sunrise to sunset and by the end of the day had recorded 80 species. I was tired by dusk but it had been a good day observing, biking and breathing fresh air. The added season is lim- ited to private lands and re- stricts harvest to bucks only. These changes will not affect the wildlife management area system. Rules changes also provide that bows and crossbows will be legal during muzzleloading gun season and during the Northwest Hunting Zone's special archery/muzzleloading season, beginning next year. "We wanted to create more opportunities for hunters who use crossbows but striv- ed to balance that with the interest of avid bowhunters," said Nick Wiley, director of FWC's Division of Hunting and Game Management. "The change gives private land- owners more options for managing game on their property and provides addi- tional early season hunting opportunities." Beginning in October, there will be a five day cross- bow season between the ex- isting archery season and muzzleloading gun season in the Central and South hunt- ing zones. In the Northwest Zone, the crossbow season will be seven days long and will open the Monday follow- ing Thanksgiving. During the new crossbow season, legal game will in- clude deer, hog, bearded tur- key, gray squirrel, quail, rab- bit, raccoon, opossum, coyote, nutria, skunk and beaver. However, turkeys will not be legal game in Holmes County during any fall or winter hunt- ing season. As during the muzzleloading gun season, only bucks with at least one antler five inches or more in length rpay be taken during the crossbow season. The daily bag limit for antlered deer is two during the crossbow and muzzleloading gun seasons. During both periods, antlerless deer may be taken only by hunters who hold antlerless deer permits. Re- gardless of the season or number of permits, the bag limit will be two deer per day. For more information about the new crossbow season, interested hunters can call Tony Young at (850) 488-7867 or visit MyFWC.com/commis- sion.

There were probably as many small trout on the flats this past year as I have seen in a long time and, if they sur- vived the winter, we should have a better season this year than we did last year. Remember that trout sea- son is closed until March 1 so if by chance you do catch one, be sure you put it back. Leave that float plan with someone and be careful out there.

Over the years I have found that he knew what he was talking about. This past week was an excellent example. Not only was the weather unique, so were some of the things that happened to area auxiliarists. The following is Jim McGill's account of one of those events. We went for coffee last Thursday, Feb. 2 at the Shell Point Coast Guard Auxiliary Station and saw that a sail- boat was out by the Shell Point tripod. Unfortunately, it was out of the channel, and obviously had run aground sometime during the night. Bob Morgan and Jim McGill tried to raise the vessel on the VHF radio, but no answer was forthcoming. We decided to take a pontoon boat out for the rescue, since it was in sight of land and the tide was dropping rapidly. (My note: Both men are members of Flotilla 13, but decided to go as Good Samaritans.) When we got to the boat, we discovered that it had run aground. The vessel was a 41 foot Morgan sailboat and they had just lost their an- chor the previous day. We set a light anchor with all the line they had and gave the crew a ride into Shell Point to await a high tide. The wind and rain came, and luckily the tide was about a foot and a half higher than predicted and the sailboat had enough water under it to refloat. Unluckily, the "lunch hook" anchor-did not hold and the vessel had started to drift. Again, luckily, the an- chor drug by the last .chan- nel marker and somehow wrapped around it enough to hold this 20,000 pound boat off the beach. We found the boat as it suddenly appeared out of the dense fog as we got to the channel. The anchor was fouled and the weather was fouler. After transferring crew to the dis- tressed vessel, we took the anchor line and tied it to the post so it could be recovered : BOatfing $piergencies .)

About this time; a $10. part of the steering system on the pontoon boat motor broke and steering was lost. We discovered that the cap- tain (Jim McGill) could sit on top of the motor and steer by body English (shake that booty?) while the crew han- dled the throttle. We all made it safely home and gave any- one watching a lot to laugh about. What Jim didn't mention was that the owner of the sailboat, Leon Taylor, made a nice donation to Flotilla 13. Leon, we do appreciate how faithfully you remember us. Flotilla 13 will present the New Member Orientation this coming Saturday, Feb. 11. beginning at 9 a.m. at our Shell Point station. Anyone interested in what the Coast Guard Auxiliary does and how you can join is invited to attend the orientation. A reminder: Flotilla 13's meeting has been postponed until Feb. 18 so our members can participate in a very worthwhile event being held at Wakulla High School this coming Saturday, Feb. 11 at 8 p.m. Moses Turner of Shell Point is the producer of "One Hand, One Heart," a benefit concert for Wakulla County disaster relief.

Tim Ashley, Dave Suban, Mark Rosen, Larry Kolk, Duane Treadon and Carolyn Treadon gave very informative and in- teractive presentations.

Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources Alice Garden Club Searches For SEEK Students The Iris Garden Club is seeking two high school stu- dents who are interested in the environment and would like to attend the SEEK 2006 Conference at the University of Florida July 9 through July 12. SEEK (Save the Earth's En- vironment through Knowl- edge) is an annual statewide conference for high school students sponsored by the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs. Wakulla freshmen, sopho- more and junior students may apply for a conference scholarship which is valued at $200. The garden club will award two scholarships which will cover conference fees, meals and dormitory lodging on campus. Students must provide their own transporta- tion to and from the confer- ence, Conference activities typi-- cally include interesting pre- sentations, hands-on work- shops, an ecosystem scaven- ger hunt, a field trip, a panel discussion of careers in envi- ronmental science and con- servation, and a brain bowl. Participants also go on hikes to identify indigenous plants. The theme of this year's conference is "The Best of the Best" because it will feature the best speakers from the previous conferences, One of the returning speakers is a "lightning stalker" who will present a slide show. Another is an expert on global warm- ing. Last year, the Iris Garden Club funded scholarships for Lucy Carter and Krista Hens- ley to attend the 2005 confer- ence. Additional funding was obtained to send Lesley Baker, the scholarship alter- nate, to the 2005 conference as well.'

She added that the the annual mentoring and salary bonuses are paid in December and June and both equal 10 percent of the aver- age state teacher salary from the previous year. Board certification lasts for a 10 year period and the school board recognizes re- cipients in the spring with a framed certificate, said Stok- ley. Board certification is not an easy process, added Stok- ley. The certification takes approximately one year to complete and includes 91 hours of approved mentoring. "It's a hard process," she said. "But the teachers are well re- warded." Bonuses can range from $8,000'to $10,000 per teacher and are funded by the Florida Legislature. National Board Certifica- tion is offered on a voluntary, basis and complements, not replaces, state licensing. While state licensing systems set entry-level standards for beginning teachers, National Board Certification has estab- lished advanced standards for experienced teachers. Every Wakulla County school center has at least one certified teacher. The Wakulla total for a small, rural district is "excellent," Stokley con- cluded.

Nelson must be hired by the county as veteran services of- ficer by Feb. 16, according to the order.

MARKS NEWS By Linda Walker L- Hi neighbors, all is not lost! Nichols Restaurant, here in St. Marks, is up and run- ning again. They are open from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. dur- ing the week and open until 10 p.m. on Fridays and Satur- days. Hurrah, hurrahl A lot of us St. Markians have been kinda lost with Nichols being dosed these past two weeks. But the good food and great service is back and here to stay, I remember back 100 years ago when this same thing happened with the Fisher- man's Net Restaurant that was the place to go if you were wanting to talk to some- body and eat good food at the same time. And the St. Marks Restaurant (Nichols) was just like going home, Anyway, it is open again with lots of new items and still the best food this side of the truck route. We don't like change, Things do happen sometimes but we don't have to like it. It always passes. I do not know what Everett Roberts was up to but Alethea has a broken shoulder that she received in her home. I did think that Everett was getting older but maybe not, Anyway, I hope she heals fast and that she is making him do all of the housework. She actually tripped and fell and I don't think he was even home. Listen up people! Don't for- get Valentine's Day is coming up on Feb. 14. That means go out and buy flowers and a card and maybe some candy, or a five gallon bucket of ice cream. Or take her out to eat or wait on her hand and foot. You know' that drill, guys. We also have an election coming up on Feb. 15. Do your part and get to town hall and vote for your favorite commis- sioners. Don't forget. The weatherman says we will now have some winter weather. Where has he been the past two months? Anyhoo, I am thrilled with the cold myself but she who shall re- main nameless is stocking up on long johns again. Tsk, tsk. For those of you who called and asked, no, that spe- cial ointment does not come in five gallon buckets. Shucks. Let's wish Eric Clore happy birthday on Feb. 14 and John Kirby on Feb. 16. And a very happy anniversary to these two special people, John and Sharon Couliette, on Feb.' 15. On our prayer list please remember Newell Ladd, Kath- leen Causey, Thelma Murphy, Aletha Roberts, Bob and Annette Carey, Norma Folks, Nettle, Junior and Gordon Strickland, my friends in Panacea, Lois and Charlie Golden, Nancy Nichols, Betty Ward, Jerelene Howard, Benita Triplett, Jett Harper and my brother, John "Cowboy" Spil- lane. Oh, and pray for me - foot surgery coming up again, yuk. And pray for all of thbse not named here. Pray for our families, that they take time for each other, pray for our town and our country, and pray for peace. Tip of the week: Did you know that mayonnaise makes a great softner for old, stiff baseball gloves? Uh huh, it does, too. Just be sure and rub it in good and wipe off any excess. Nichols Restaurant is hav- ing a Valentine's special for that one day only. I think Debra said it was steak and shrimp or something on that order. Anyway,. you know how good it makes you feel to get a card in the mail. Just do it. BUCKHORN COMMUNITY NEWS By Ethel Skipper A thought for the week: Do good it will come back to you. Often it is not the major decisions of life that trip us up, but the seemingly minor ones. When the issue seems less important we are more easily tempted to cut corners or compromise thinking it won't matter much anyway. But every decision we make in life, in our home, community, our church, on our jobs, or wherever can quickly add up to produce big consequences, creating rami- fications beyond our knowl- edge or control. Even trivial decisions have the potential to affect our personal character, our pub- lic reputation, and our rela- tionship with God, Our prayer this week is that people will be saved and born again everywhere. Let us pray for peace in the world. Remember our sick and shut-in, those in the hos- pital, nursing home, prison, and all in need everywhere. The Burney Temple First Born Church will have their church anniversary on Sun- day, Feb. 12 at 2 p.m. The guest church will be St. Nora P.B. Church of Sopchoppy. Pastor Elder Stanley Sims will be preaching. Everyone is welcome. The Lily of the Valley Chap- ter No. 190 Order of Eastern Star will have a service of love and fellowship on Monday night, Feb. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at New Hope Church of Christ Written in Heaven.

Commissioner Kessler made a motion to continue the visioning process if the $15,000 match comes from the business owners them- selves and not the county tax- payers as a whole. The concept worked well in Panacea, said Johnson, who added that business owners met in a social setting and agreed to write checks to fund the visioning.

Many standard home warrenties cover plumbing, appliances, and heating, and cooling systems. Some policies cover the roof. You usually have to buy extra coverage for private wells and septic systems and other high-ticket items. Cost of these warranties vary, but many standard home warranty policies range from $350 to $450- extra to cover special systems. Most home warranty policies are effec- tive for one.year with an option to renew coverage upon expiration. The renewal cost is often higher than the fee paid for the initial policy. Ask each provider what its current renewal fee is so that you can compare costs. Finally, make sure the warranty provider has contacts in your area. A warranty won't necessarily save the day if no one's around to help in a timely manner. As always, contact me for any of your real estate needs.

On arrival, firefighters found an outside wal engulfed with fire migrating into the inte- rior of the building. To prevent the fire from moving further into the struc- ture, firefighters broke down a door in order to gain entry and proceeded to attack the fire from inside the building. Although there was damage, the majority of the building was saved due to fast action by the volunteer firefighters. Firefighters and equip- ment responded to the fire from the St. Marks, Wakulla Station and Crawfordville Fire Departments. The cause of the fire is under investigation and arson is suspected. On Jan. 30, volunteers from the St. Marks, Wakulla Station, Apalachee Bay and Crawfordville Fire Depart- ments assisted in searching for an elderly man lost in the area of Old Shell Point Road. Fortunately, the individual was located by a Leon County Sheriff's Office helicopter. This past week, Wakulla County Volunteer Fire Rescue Departments responded to: three structure fires: three brush fires; one fire alarm; six other type fires; one search and rescue; and 11 vehicle accidents. Few realize how easily and how quickly fire can destroy our homes and take the lives of those we love. Fortunately, there is a product available that can help protect your family against fire....the smoke alarm. Smoke alarms can save your life! You're twice as likely to die in a fire at home if you do not have a smoke alarm. A smoke alarm is the easiest way to alert you to the dan- ger of fire, giving you and your family precious time to escape. However, many people who have smoke alarms are in danger, too. The alarm could be in the wrong place, there may not be enough alarms for the size of the home, or the batteries could be dead or even missing from the alarms. Alarms should be installed on each level of your home including the basement. Many fatal fires begin late at night or in the early morning hours. For extra safety, install smoke alarms both inside and outside the sleeping area. Also, smoke alarms should be installed on the ceiling or six to eight inches below the ceil- ing on sidewalls. Always fol- low the manufacturer's instal- lation instructions. Keep your smoke alarms working by replacing the bat- teries at least once a year and preferably twice a year. A good rule of thumb is to re- place the batteries in the spring and fall when time changes. If your alarm starts making a chirping noise, then that indicates a weak battery and it should be replaced immediately. Keep the alarms clean. Dust and debris can interfere with their operation, so vacuum over and around your smoke alarm on a regular ba- sis. 91, IOFAS T a~t 984-5800 www.coastalshores.com ""' "Ochllockronce eBay at the Bridge Mary Shepard Broker/Realtor 528-0226 Jacque Eubanks Realtor- 228-3218 Glenn Eubanks Realtor 228-3217 Alice Ann Swartz Realtor- 559-8979 Katie Miller Realtor 349-2380 Donald R.

Judge Rules Against Fishers Local fishermen were shot down in Leon Circuit Court last week when a judge there granted a summary judgment to state wildlife regulators in a lawsuit filed by fishers over net rules for mullet. Leon Circuit Judge Janet Ferris issued a ruling on Fri- day, Feb. 3, siding with the state Fish and Wildlife Conser- vation Commission in finding that the rule requiring nets have mesh no larger than two inches stretched meets the ra- tional basis test. "This court simply- cannot find that the commission's rules are irratio- nal, arbitrary, or clearly errone- ous," Ferris' wrote in her 14 page order. The FWC passed the two inch rule to serve as a "bright line" between gill nets, which were outlawed under the con- stitutional amendment that limited net fishing the so- called net ban and legal seine nets. Fishermen have objected to the small mesh rule, claiming it fills nets with catches of ju- venile fish, not marketable size mullet. The fishermen's legal challenge before Judge Ferris was that tests of large and small mesh nets conducted Qniuy.* I-21 jointly by fishers and the FWC showed that the small mesh actually had a larger killing ratio. Fishers sought for the court to 'declare the two inch net a gill net. Ferris characterized the ar- gument as "rather curious," noting that, taken to its logi- cal conclusion, it would pre- clude the use of any nets other than a hand-thrown cast net. Fisherman Ronald Fred Crum, who heads the Wakulla Commercial Fisherman's Asso- ciation which filed the lawsuit, said his organization was mak- ing copies of Judge Ferris' or- der to give to state legislators to show there is no legal re- course to challenge rules of the FWC. "I want the world to know we've got four branches of government," Crum said. "I want to shout it from the roof- tops: There is no review of the seven people (on the FWC) writing what amounts to state statutes." Crum contends that legisla- tors spend weeks during the session drafting and passing bills, and that the governor can veto or sign those bills, and the courts can review the passed laws and determine which pass constitutional mus- ter. Not so the FWC, he says. "She laid out our case," Crum said of Judge Ferris' rul- ing in upholding the FWC rule. Crum said he has.a meet- ing on Wednesday, Feb. 8 with attorney Ron Mowrey to dis- cuss the case, and whether to seek a rehearing before Judge Ferris. JACK B.

Health officials said heart disease is the top killer of women with many more women dying from heart disease than die from can- cer. The color red was selected because it emphasized the urgency of the cause. Offi- cials urge women to keep track of choles- terol levels.and blood pressure as well as to stop smoking.
