Man Is

Found Dead

In River
A 22-year-old Quincy man
was found dead in the Wakulla
River Saturday, March 18 under
the U.S. Highway 98 bridge
near T-n-T Hideaway Canoe
Rental, according to Wakulla
County Sheriff David Harvey.
Jose Luis Hurtado Lopez was
found on the bottom of the
river by a'fisherman who con-
tacted law enforcement offi-
cials. An autopsy was con-
ducted on Lopez Sunday, March
19 and the death was ruled an
accidental drowning, according
to Captain Jim Griner. Alcohol
may have been a coAntributing
factor in the death, he added.
Captain Griner said investi-
gators determined that Lopez
and three other men of His-
panic descent from Gadsden
County were driving in Wakulla
County at 4:30 a.m. Friday,
March 17. Lopez lived with an
uncle in Gadsden,
The vehicle, which was reg-
istered to Lopez out of Cairo,
GA, ran the stop sign at Lower
Bridge Road and U.S. Highway
98 and got stuck in a ditch.
Captain Griner said three of the
four men apparently became
scared by a passing motorist
they thought was a law en-
forcement official and ran from
the scene on foot.
Griner said two of the men,
including Lopez, ran toward the
Wakulla River while one other
man ran in the opposite direc-
tion. Lopez jumped into the
river while the second man
decided against the idea and
ran back toward the vehicle.
Two of the men caught a
ride back to Quincy with an-
other motorist and a third man
was taken into protective cus-
tody' when law enforcement
officials found him passed out
in the vehicle, said Griner.

Citizens for Humane Animal

ing the Wakulla County Animal
Shelter treat, feed and care for

On Monday, March 20, Wa-

approved a request from Heide
Clifton and other CHAT volun-
teers that funds generated at
the animal shelter go back to
the sheriff's office for use at the

Wakulla County growth has
had an impact on many neigh-
borhoods around the county
and residents have been get-
ting used to buildings and
roads in places where trees
once stood.
But for residents in develop-
ments such as Wakulla Gar-
dens, Magnolia Gardens and
Griners Addition east of Craw-
fordville, natural conditions
combined with new construc-
tion have created serious ques-
tions about the degradation of
quality of life for those resi-
dents who already own a piece
of Wakulla County.
Dozens of residents have
spoken to the county commis-
sion in recent weeks seeking
assistance from the county in

addressing issues such as
flooding of roads and property,
the cutting of trees and the
threat of pollution.
Not all of the commission-
ers agree on the methods for
fixing the problems but they
all agree that the problems are
serious and getting worse.
"I know that everyone on
the board is anxious to see the
whole thing fixed," said Com-
missioner Ed Brimner. "It's a
nightmare," added Commis-
sioner Howard Kessler. "It's not
going to be easy."
In the last 25 years, Wakulla
County has seen areas such as

Gardens and Griners Addition

University Of Hartford Students Work On A Habitat For Humanity House

Working During Spring Break

More than 20 students
passed up the usual college
spring break rituals to spend a
week in Wakulla County, help-
ing work on a Habitat for Hu-
manity home.
"The motivation is to help,"
said Steve Herr, one of the stu-
dents from the University of
Hartford in Hartford, CT. It's his
second tour on alternative
spring break last year he
worked with Habitat in Bir-
mingham, AL.
More than 45 students from

Hartford came down for spring
break, with 21 working on the
local project and the others
putting in time on Tallahassee
projects.
On Tuesday morning, stu-
dents had shovels and rakes
and were smoothing dirt and
cleaning up the job site while
awaiting vinyl siding.
"I really like helping people,"
Barbara Eichvalds said as her
reason for participating in the
program. "I've been on two
trips before and you really get
to know people."

"It's a good way to be in-
volved and make a difference,"
Christine Rivera said.
The students do all kinds of
construction work except elec-
trical and air conditioning.
Each participant pays $150
for the spring break trip, endur-
ing a 24-hour drive on a char-
ter bus from Hartford to work
four days from 8:30 a.m. to 4
p.m. doing hard labor.
It's a vacation, Herr says, in
which the students pay to
work.

Class Action Issue Undecided

By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
Of The Wakulla News
Without rendering a deci-
sion, Circuit Judge N. Sanders
Sauls listened to a presentation
on why the lawsuit against the
county for refund of special
assessments should be made a
class action case.
At a hearing on Friday,
March 17, Judge Sauls seemed
to mull over the questions
weighing on him in the matter
after he heard testimony from
members of the proposed class.
The judge did not indicate
when he would rule, though he
did request both sides to sub-
mit proposed orders for him to
consider, which means he is
unlikely to rule any sooner
than two weeks.
If it's made a class action
lawsuit, the case would poten-
tially be all citizens who paid
the tax versus the county. Cur-
rently, the case is five married
couples who own property in
the county a considerable dif-

ference in a possible refund
between all county taxpayers,
or just those 10 individuals.
Class action would also con-
stitute a considerable differ-
ence in the amount of
attorney's fees to be paid to the
lawyers for the residents.
Judge Sauls indicated he
would set the matter for trial
60 days after he makes a deci-
sion on the class action issue.
The judge- ruled several
years ago that Wakulla
County's $35 special assess-
ment for ambulance service
was an illegal tax because prop-
erty derived no benefit un-
like fire protection fees, which
have been upheld by courts as
a benefit to property. The judge
ruled that there should be no
refund, but the First District
Court of Appeal sent the case
back saying the issue of refund
must still be decided.
At the hearing on Friday,
attorney Marsha Lyon, repre-

senting citizens, presented tes-
timony from five proposed
class representatives Harrison
Metcalf, Randolph Nelson, Jim
Cooper, Willie Jackson, and
John Probert. The five, along
with their wives, filed the law-
suit against Wakulla County
questioning the legality of the
special assessment. All five in-
dicated they were in favor of
refunds of the money to citi-
zens.
Stephen Mitchell of the
county's law firm of Mowrey &
Biggins brought up the ques-
tion of who are the actual mem-
bers of the class, and raised
doubts that the five proposed
representatives are typical of
Wakulla County taxpayers.

Of The Wakulla News
Crawfordville resident Da-
vid Damon is Cubmaster for
Pack 33 at Medart Elementary
School and has spent four years
teaching the scouts about the
importance of trees, bushes
and plants.
The scouts have planted
nearly 200 trees and bushes at
the school since Damon be-
came involved and now he
hopes to teach adults about the
importance of trees as well.
On Monday, March 20, the
Wakulla County Commission
unanimously approved a pro-
posal from Damon to form a
tree ordinance committee with
representatives from Keep
Wakulla County Beautiful, the
Iris Garden Club, Wakulla
County Chamber of Commerce,
Concerned Citizens of Wakulla
(CCOW), a representative of the
planning department and him-
self.
"As hard as we have worked
to plant, water and care for all
these trees, it is difficult to ex-
plain to these kids why we are
allowing land to be clear cut at
such an alarming rate," said
Damon. "Allowing the practice
of clear cutting to continue is
in total contradiction to what
we teach them in school. We
teach them to be good stew-
ards of the earth, yet we turn a
blind eye to this destruction
and allow it to continue un-
checked."
Wakulla County lacks the
proper legislation to protect its
trees. "Surrounding counties
have laws on the books to limit
such (clear cutting) practices,"
said Damon. "We have virtually,
none. A commercial developer
must simply show on their site
plan any existing trees over 18
inches and, once shown, they
get the green light to be bull-
dozed."
Damon reminded the board
that businesses can be required
to landscape and make some-
thing the community can be
proud of.

had been required to leave live
oaks and other large trees and
bushes as part of their devel-
opment plan?" Damon asked.
"If you look at the Winn-Dixie
across from the Leon County
Fairgrounds you will see a to-
tally different kind of develop-
ment. The same company, one
clear cut, one covered with
huge live oaks that they were
made to build around. It's time
that we demand more from
those who want to do business
in our county. If they can't com-
ply, then they should locate
elsewhere.",
Damon said residents of
Shell Point worked with Jason
Naumann, George Heaton and
Elliott Varnum to save trees
that were originally planned to
be cut on the coast. "Not only
will the 10 live oaks be saved,

Principal
Wakulla High School Princi-

to retire next year, and will be
replaced by Mike Crouch at the
beginning of the 2006-07

Comment and Opinion

Established In Wakulla County In 1895

Preserve, Protect, Restore Wakulla

Editor, The News:
Growing up in Wakulla
County when I grew up here
had advantages and disadvan-
tages. There was very little in
the way of development. There
weren't many stores and a trip
to Tallahassee was tough.
There weren't a lot of people.
For most folks putting food on
the table was work. It wasn't a
simple trip to the supermarket.
There were a lot of special
things. Those things are all but
gone now. There were many
springs of the clearest and
cleanest water you could imag-
ine. How far could you see into.
Wakulla Springs? It seemed
like forever.
Our lakes were clean and
crystal clear. Along the shore
the bays were also crystal clear.
School children would come
home and while dangling their
feet in the water, they would
do their homework. Little
baitfish would nibble their
toes.
Fishermen would have
bountiful catches of clean and
healthy fish. The beaches
didn't have to be monitored for
pollutants. They were clean
and safe. You did not have to
think twice about eating a fish
or dining on fish for days.
Now we have many more
people in our county. We grew.
We progressed. We have resi-
dential and business develop-
ment. Andwe also have beach-
es that display signs that say,
"High Bacterial Counts. Hazard.
Do Not Enter The Water." We
have murky sinks, rivers and
bays. And we have fish we are
afraid to eat, fish that are taken
from polluted waters. How
much fish should we eat is

She Has Many Fond

Memories Of Angelo's

.Editor, The News:
I am glad that Angelo's in
Panacea is going to rebuild.
When The Oaks closed, it was
a disappointment to many. But
when the storm destroyed
Angelo's that was much worse.
Someone said, "What's it to
you? Why do you care?" I re-
member in 1946 my cousins
and I started working there. At
that time it was called George's
Greek Place. I stood on a
wooden box to wash dishes.
The sink was very high, or
maybe I was very short.
We were picked up by Mrs.
Petrandis every Friday after-
noon when they would bring
the boys down for the week-
end after school. As I remem-
ber, we were all like one big
family working hard. We all
slept in one big room.
We would go on Friday af-
ternoon and come back on
Sunday night after closing. It

hione.

was good to have a job, and
everyone got along. On Sunday
I remember people would
stand in line for an hour be-
fore getting service but they
would wait, the food was so
good.
I worked there while going
to high school at the Shade-
ville school. Back then not too
many children had extra money
but we did because we had a
job, and at that time we could
do a lot with such a paycheck
($7.50).

Watch Out

For Dogs
Editor, The News:
I am writing this letter to
anyone who has babies (dogs).
My name is Tammie Keith and
I live in Panacea on Tully Ave.
I had four dogs and I walk
them at least once a day on
Tully and Bud Crum Rd.
Last week an accident hap-
pened and my baby, Speedy,
got run over and died. Please
try to drive slowly and keep an
eye out for us. I've still got
three left, Shotgun, Rosie and
Ugly dog.

polluting our bays.
Sports fishermen increase
in numbers as we call for more
people to come and live and
fish in Wakulla County. Boats
go out into our waters and
don't pump out. They deposit
their raw sewage into our wa-
ters.
Families like the Spears
who fished for a century now
cannot make a living fishing.
Yes, we can spend lots of
money to make a Maritime
Museum to show how it used
to be, to show how people
used to fish and used to live
in Wakulla County. But we
can't spend money to protect
our waters and our fishing in-
dustry, That spending doesn't
put thle green into the right
pockets. It does put the green
into the developer's pockets.

Instead of spending to cel-
ebrate what it used to be like
and building a museum, why
can't we spend those dollars
trying to preserve and protect
and maybe even restore what
we once had. Protect those
things that are precious to
many and not spend those
dollars on things that benefit
a select few,
Be careful as you lift that
glass to your lips, and before
you take that next bite of fish.
Make sure you read those.signs
before you go for that swim.
Oh, and thank those develop-
ers who fought for the net ban
and to increase your coastal
density. They sure helped put
our fishermen into the mu-
seum. Is this progress? Is this
what people really want?

Ed Brimner Thinks

He's Above The Rules

Editor, The News:
Why would anyone expect
Ed Brimner or the other three
to abide by the rules? After all,
they are elected officials and
above the rules..
I paid postage and wrote
letters to all of the commis-
sioners last month about an.
issue happening in our neigh-
borhood. All of them except
Howard Kessler ignored my
letter and never even re-
sponded to it.
Mr. Kessler not only wrote
a letter back to me, he came
out to the neighborhood to
check out the situation.
Then, two weeks ago, I e-
mailed all of the commission-
ers about the same matter. You
got it, only Howard bothered
to reply to my e-mail. But Ed
Bilmner has time to send invi-

tations on county letterhead
-and.with county.postage.--.- ..

Of course, he is a real estate
agent first, and then a commis-
sioner. Maybe that is why he
votes yes for every new devel-
opment put before the com-
mission. Do you remember his
campaign slogan? Preserve the
rural Wakulla County. What
happened to that plan?

Maybe Ed has something to
gain from all this uncontrolled
development, as do the others.
It is obvious that they certainly.
do not care about Wakulla
County.
Mr. Kessler is a self-made
man, a retired doctor who vol-
unteers his time to the medi-
cally needy and does not need
kickbacks from developers. He
takes the job of commissioner
seriously because he retired
here in Wakulla and wants to
preserve the beauty of the
natural resources we all enjoy.
When I asked Mr. Langston
about the clear cut area on
Lower Bridge Road for the fu-
ture Expo, he stated that was
before his time. What, he was
not born here and has not seen
the changes happening to this
county? He has not voted yes
for every development and
watched them cut all of the
trees to build houses?
I always believed that the
board of commissioners was
here to serve the citizens of
Wakulla County, but it seems
that four out of five have their
own agenda that does not ben-
efit the people who live here.

Commission Sets Another Emergency Sprayfield Meeting

Wakulla County Commis-
sioners set a meeting for noon
on Friday, March 24 as the fi-
nal deadline in the negotia-
tions with the City of Tallahas-
see over the renewal of a
Florida Department of Environ-
mental Protection (DEP) spray-
field permit.
Mowrey and Commissioner
Ed Brimner have been meeting
with Tallahassee and DEP offi-
cials in an effort to avoid an
administrative hearing over the
permit. While attorney Mowrey
said negotiations are ongoing,
no agreement is imminent.
"We're hoping to resolve the
issues, but we are not there
yet," said the attorney.
The city and county have
agreed that it is in everyone's
best interest to reduce the dis-
charge of pollutants from
southern Leon County. How-
ever, the county wants the city
to install Advanced Wastewa-
ter Treatment systems, retrofit
old sewer systems and elimi-
nate the application of biosol-
ids within the Wakulla Springs
watershed.
The city has agreed to the
removal of livestock grazing on
treatment sites but county of-
ficials want the city to adopt a
master plan to replace the ag-
ing sewer system by 2007.
If the two sides cannot agree
to the terms of the permit, the
county has until 4 p.m. to file
the petition seeking the admin-
istrative hearing. Following the
Monday, March 20 meeting, the
board left itself the emergency
meeting March 24 to make one
last attempt to avoid litigation.
Commissioner Howard Kess-
ler voted against setting the spe-
cial meeting stating that he
would be unable to attend. The
vote for the meeting passed 4-
1. Kessler suggested asking
DEP for a second extension of
time if "meaningful move-
ment" in the negotiations is
made between March 20 and
March 24.
"We're not waiving any
rights," said Mowrey. "We ob-
ligated for all the right reasons
to try and resolve the issues."
-I-2-nIamnonvminced that the,
fity,-'f TAllah:assee wanrts tio ,
protect the springs." said Com-
missioner Brimner. "We're' ff"
a little on how we do that. The
health of the springs and
Apalachee Bay are our only con-
cerns."
Resident Joe Glisson said he
has filed a petition opposing
the Tallahassee sprayfield per-
mit. "I'm not going to sit idle
and watch the degradation of
Wakulla Springs and let Talla-
hassee claim that they're not
largely responsible," he said.
"As much as 70 percent of the
problem is-coming from the
sprayfield."
Biologist Victor Lambou
asked the board to provide citi-
zens with details of the nego-
tiations so that residents are
involved in the process. Mow-
rey asked for Lambou's exper-
tise and added that residents
Jack Leppert and Dorothy
Routh have been a great help
in preparing the county's case.
However, Mowrey added
that the March 24 meeting will
include 'a'private attorney-cli-
ent meeting that residents will
not even be allowed to attend.
Attorney Bob Routa said
Advanced Wastewater Treat-

Team Will

Oversee
Interviews
Wakulla County Commis-
sioners have responded to con-
cerns from citizens over their
method of hiring staff mem-
bers by recently voting to es-
tablish a hiring observation
team.
The team will oversee the
county's hiring process follow-
ing the Alfred Nelson veteran
service officer controversy and
claims of racism in the hiring
process.
Resident Randy Nelson sug-

Sgested having someone sit in
on interviews as an observer
without having interview in-
put. Commissioners voted
unanimously to establish the
hiring process panel.

ment must be a part of any
agreement with the city and
DEP. If it isn't, he said, Mowrey
should file an administrative
hearing petition immediately.
Madeleine Carr asked the
board to seek the administra-
tive hearing as a way to chal-

lenge the content of the city's
permit and the approved sew-
age treatment standards set
forth by DEP.
Leppert and Routh said the
county could win an adminis-
trative hearing against the City
of Tallahassee. "I have learned

more about the Tallahassee
sprayfield than I ever wanted
to learn," said Routh. She called
Tallahassee efforts to promote
changes at the sprayfield po-
litical "spin." She added that
property values will decrease as
water quality is degraded. "The

Florida Wildlife Federation has
attorneys that can help. We can
win this thing," she concluded.
"The evidence is in," said
Leppert. "The permit does not
adequately address the protec-
tion of Wakulla Springs."
Leppert added that studies

have determined that the ma-
jority of nitrogen pollution
coming to the springs comes
from the sprayfield. "It's a very
deficient permit," said Leppert.
"The Department of Environ-
mental Protection is not pro-
tecting the environment."

A thought for the week: Did
you stop to give thanks when
you got up this morning or
did you just start your usual
day doing the things you had
on your mind? Many times we
begin our day forgetting to give
thanks to God.
Now that spring is here we
can be thankful and enjoy the
beautiful dogwood trees and
the flowers. The weather has
been very nice. It is that time
of the year when housekeep-
ers do their spring cleaning.
Let us be thankful and forever
give praises to our savior.
We wish a happy birthday
to Eva Mae Johnson on March
27, and to Alberta Hines on
March 24, from your family.

she has always been good at
this. Barnard is better known
for his break dancing. Espe-
cially when his friend, John
Jefferson, brings him a gift in
a gunny sack. Anyway, we do
need some good hard rain for
just one day. So, Latrell, if you
please.
Thanks to the funny look-
ing angel across the street for
coming to check my truck out.
He did try to have someone fix
it but to no avail. But it was
the thought that counts. At
least he tried. He can't help it
if he was born elsewhere. He
at least made it to the South.
Congratulations to Gena, a
waitress at Nichols Restaurant.
She now knows that there re-
ally is corn in corn puffs. She
was amazed when she found
this out since this is one of her
favorite foods. It's okay, Gena.
Now, aren't you glad your hair
ain't blonde anymore?

KWCB Will Help Businesses, Residents With Landscaping

By MARJ LAW
Of Keep Wakulla County Beautiful
When we drive through
Thomasville, we think of roses.
In Tallahassee, we think of aza-
leas and crepe myrtles. What
do we think of in Wakulla
County? In the past, Wakulla
County had no such theme, but
now one is developing
Julia Hanway, chairman of
Keep Wakulla County Beau-
tiful's (KWCB's) Beautification
Committee, has worked for
several years to find plants,
trees, and shrubs indigenous
to our area. Plants need to be
hardy, fast growing, and also
fairly drought tolerant.
We get a lot of sun, and
even though we receive a lot
of rain, most of our soil is
sandy. The rain filters through
the soil quickly, so the soil is
rapidly dried out. Julia and her
committee have a list of sev-
eral plants .which grow well
here and will give Wakulla
County its own beautification
"theme."
But, first of all, the best so-
lution to keeping plants alive
is to have an irrigation system
in place. All these plants need
water, it's just that some re-
quire less than others. You will
want to water even drought
resistant plants after you have
put them in the soil. They will
want regular watering for two
to four months after planting.
Once established, the more
drought resistant plants should
manage to survive with our.
normal rainfall.
.Coreopsis is Florida's state
flower. It's a wildflower, gen-
erally yellow in color. Another
wildflower you'll see planted
along the roadsides is Purple
Coneflower. We have some of
these in front of our court-

Eden Springs

what constitutes abuse.

tal and financial suffering.

house. Lantana comes in sev-
eral colors: from yellow to or-
ange to purple. You'll see these
in front of our library. Plum-
bago sports many clusters of
light blue to purple-blue flow-
ers. These plants bloom all
summer long and need very
little maintenance.
Dwarf India Hawthorn,
Parson's Juniper, Burgundy
Loropetalum, several varieties
of holly, and the coontie plant
are all shrubs which do well
here. They keep their green
color year round except for the
Burgundy Loropetalum which
has a bright red new growth.
The Sable Palm is a good
choice of many palms which
thrive here. Crepe myrtles pro-
vide great clusters of flowers,
from white to pink to red to
purple, and they last a long
time. In winter, the leafless
smooth bark of the trunk and
branches can look like sculp-
ture.
A new and very exciting
addition to the KWCB Beauti-
fication Committee initiative is
the mortise rail fence you'll see
which began by our park and
recreation department's choice
for Hudson Park. The commit-
tee worked with Iris Garden
Club members and our library
director, Doug Jones, to place

more of this style of fence in
front of our library. Maurice
Burgess of Winn-Dixie has had
the fence placed all along High-
way 319 in front of the store.
A couple business owners
have asked where they can get
this same fence rpaterial. We
have found it sold at a very
good price by PRIDE Enter-
prises in Raiford, FL.
PRIDE is a non-profit orga-
nization which provides train-
ing and vocational skills for

those incarcerated. Hopefully,
people who take the program
will utilize skills learned on the
"inside" when they are re-
turned to live on the "outside."
The mortise rail fence is a
great backdrop for flowering
vines. The KWCB Beautifica-
tion Committee has purchased
Confederate Jasmine for.some
of the park fences. If you de-
cide to add a fence or portion
of one to your landscape plans,
you might also consider a
climbing rose, such as the deep

Gladys And Jerry Chambers

Couple Celebrates

50 Years Together

Jerry and Gladys Chambers
will celebrate their 50th wed-
ding anniversary by taking a
cruise to the Bahamas with
their son, Ken, and daughter-
in-law, Shary Gard, of Tallahas-
see.
Jerry and Gladys were mar-
ried on April 6, 1956 at Univer-
sity Heights Baptist Church in
Tallahassee. Jerry was lorn in
Colqtit, GA and volunteers
with the Ochlockoiee Bay Vol-
unteer Fire Department. He re-
tired after 40 years of service
as an electrician. For 14 years,

he owned his own business,
Jerry's Electric Service.
Gladys was born in Sop-
choppy and graduated from
Sopchoppy High School.
She retired from the Leon
County Tax Collector's Office'
after 24 years of service.
The couple has lived in
Panacea for 11 years.
They enjoy fishing, gospel
sings, gardening and working
in the yard. They also have two
grandchildren, Lori Gard-Cham-
bers and Richie Gard-Cham-
bers.

On Health
Herman Gavin has become
a sort of television celebrity
following a five part series on
"Health Matters" on WCTV
Channel 6 in Tallahassee re-
cently.
Medical anchor Triston
Sanders featured the 52-year-
old Crawfordville resident in a
special on gastric bypass sur-
gery prior to his August 2005
operation and then in early
March of this year.
Gavin has lost nearly 100
pounds since he had the sur-
gery. He said he topped out at
360 pounds which made it dif-
ficult for him to even leave his
home. His weight should sta-
bilize 12 months after the sur-
gery, he added, but he has just
passed the 270 pound mark.

-.,

Program
"I'm doing great," he said. "I
couldn't even walk out the door
without running out of breath."
Now Gavin wants to get the
word out to other obese resi-
dents that there is an answer
to their weight problem and
threat to good health. Dr. Chris-
tian Birkedal of Tallahassee's
Capital Regional Medical Cen-
ter performed the procedure.
"I'm not ashamed," he said.
"I just want to help others. I
did this for me and I did this
for others. I know there are
other people in Wakulla Coun-
ty who can benefit from the
surgery."
Gavin encourages residents
interested in the procedure to
contact him with any ques-
tions. He can be reached at 926-
1788.

By HEIDE CLIFTON
President, CHAT of Wakulla, Inc.
www.chatofwakulla.org
Susan Harp and I spent Sat-
urday at PETCO and we are
happy to report that we man-
aged to find new homes for
four of the five animals we
took to the adoption booth.
The humane society from
Bainbridge, GA, which shares
the space with us in the store
every third Saturday of the
month, was also successful in
finding new homes for some
of their dogs and cats.
CHAT is always looking for
people who are willing to give
, up a few hours of their time
and help with the adoptions.
It is not only rewarding to see
a shelter animal find a new
home, but just watching the
traffic in the PETCO store on
Saturday is something to be-
hold.
You see many dog and cat
owners and their pets go
through the aisles, shopping
for food and, of course, toys.
Most of those people are very
kind and.stop at our booth and
leave a small donation for ani-
mals that are not as lucky as
their own pets.
We were very fortunate and
most grateful for the $2,500
donation the Winn-Dixie store

Forum Addresses Eco-Tourism

S The first "green" economic
forum was held last week, with
Senvironmentalists, business
People and educators gathering
Sto discuss plans for building a
sustainable local economy
based on nature-based tourism.
Filmmaker Robert Seidler,
one of those chosen to draft
the action plan, said the first
goal will be to fast-track the
two pending local trail projects:
Sthe one for Surf Road, and the'
SGF&A rail-trail through the
Apalachicola National Forest,
The forum, held Friday.
March 16, was sponsored by
the Association of Nature-Based
Businesses and was held at the
Inn at Wildw\ood in Medart.
Keynote speaker Herb Hiller
told attendees that Wakulla
County was in the perfect place
to pursue a nature-based
economy. Hiller .is an author,
founder of the Caribbean Tour-
ism Research Center in Barba-
dos, and is credited with start-
ing the Florida bicycling move-
ment as well as the Florida bed-
and-breakfast movement. His
current book, Highway A1A:
Florida at the Edge, is credited
with inspiring Visit Florida's
downtown and small towns
program.
Other speakers included Bill
Law, president of Tallahassee
Community College, who said
the TCC Wakulla campus was
there for whatever the commu-
nity wants it, to be. Among
some proposals are having the
center teach classes so that lo-
cal residents can be certified as
Guides.
Wakulla Superintendent of
Schools David Miller told the
forum that he supported an
economy that would enable

local residents to stay and work
in Wakulla,
Other speakers included
Jack Rudloe of Gulf Specimen
Marine Lab in Panacea, Steve
Brown of the Wakulla Chamber
of Commerce, Allen Freeland of
the Economic Development

port, perhaps coming from the
local chamber of commerce,
Seidler said.
County Commissioner Ed
Brimner attended the forum,
and made the.welcoming com-
ments to attendees.
Joe Barry, owner of the Inn
:at Wildwood and CEO of the
Association of Nature-Based
Businesses, said people are
now looking for green places
to live, work and play.

Residents May Save

Money On
Wakulla County residents
will now be able to take ad-
vantage of a little known fed-
eral statute that allows them
to save money on their pre-
scription drugs through their
local Community Health Cen-
ter, Wakulla Medical Center,
and its partnering pharmacy
Wakulla Station Pharmacy.
Together they are taking
advantage of this federal law
by working with RxStrategies,
Inc., a company that provides
a turn-key solution that uses
the 340B Drug Pricing Program
of the Public Health Service
Act.
North Florida Medical Cen-
ters, Inc. began the program in
Panacea March 22, with the
other six service sites in the
Big Bend to follow shortly
thereafter.

Outdoors

Well, spring arrived on
March 20 and the fish were
anticipating it this past week-
end. All the bait and tackle
stores were busy and are look-
ing forward to a great fishing
season. Lots of people were on
the water and lots of fish were
caught.
Juanise at Circle J's said they
were busy and that's just how
she and Jim like it. She was
supposed to go fishing for
specs at Lake Ellen last week
but the wind blew too hard.
Vern Swindler fished the
bridge from East Point to
Apalachicola and caught quite
a few trout and a 25 inch red.
He was using live shrimp.
Donald Allen fished the
flats near the lighthouse and
caught a few trout and then
moved to a little deeper water
about two miles from shore
and did real well with trout.

Well, the Association for
Nature Based Businesses (ANBB)
met at the Inn at Wildwood last
SFriday for its first conference in
our county/area, and I was im-
pressed with the speaker and
how positive everyone was
concerning the goal of this
gathering, mainly; headed by
Rober Seidler and Wildwood's
Joe and Betty Barry.
Probably the most inspira-
tional speaker. I felt, was Steve
Brown who nailed it when he
pointed out the printing on the
event's agenda "Forever
Green." Yes, our Wakulla Coun-
ty will continue to remain "for-
ever green" because Wakulla's
coastline is 85 percent public.
and the lands are 73 percent
public either National Refuge
or National Forest. It's a perfect
area to promote "nature-based
businesses."
S. What is a nature-based busi-
ness? Actually, any business
that directly or indirectly takes
advantage of our abundance of
nature. Certainly a canoe rental
facility would be nature-based
but so.would a restaurant with
outdoor seating, just so its cus-
tomers can enjoy the natural
surroundings while dining.
Even courses taught on wild-
life, as I recently did for our
new Tallahassee Community
College (TCC), are nature-based.
To inform residents and visi-
tors about our fabulous fishing
such as our fishing guides do
is certainly nature-based. Any-
way, as a nature guide (special-
izing in birds) I was really in-
spired at this conference and
you'll be hearing more about
ANBB I'm sure lots morel
Last week I listed the herps
reptiles and amphibians to
be found in and nearby our
lovely Wakulla County. This
article now will be focused on
the mammals to be found in
and around our county. Brace
yourself as there's a lot of
them!
Virginia Opossum, Nine-
banded Armadillo, and then
the little ones S. E. (South-

k,,z
/

fished in 70 feet of water to
catch their limit of grouper on
LYs. Included in their limit
were two red grouper that
weighed about 20 pounds.
Capt. Luke Frazier at Crum's
in Panacea said Capt. Chris
Oaks took Lee Thrasher and
the Gray Redimix Group USA
out and they came back with
their limit of grouper. They
fished in 70 to 75 feet of wa-
ter. Luke said quite.a few trout
are being caught in Dickerson
Bay.
Luke and Mike Crum fished
around Patty's Island on Mon-
day and got their limit of trout
using the Cajun Thunder and
grubs.

Chipmunk (in counties just
west of us), Wood Rat, House

E. Big-eared Bat, Mississippi or
S.E. Myotis, E.' Pipistrelle, Big

(extinct except for breeding cap-

Fox, Black Bear, racoon, Ameri-
can Mink, N. River Otter, Long-
tailed Weasel, E. Spotted Skunk,
Striped Skunk, West Indian
Manatee, feral hog, White-
tailed Deer.
And then there's the whales
of a number few of us would
dare to believe could be out in
our gulf, but every few months
or years a number of them
"beach" along our coast, often
of unexpected species. North
Atlantic Right Whale, Sperm
Whale, Blue Whale (the world's
largest living animal), Fin
Whale, Bryde's Whale, Sei
Whale, Short-finned Pilot
Whale, Pigmy Killer Whale,
Killer Whale, False Killer Whale,
Rough-toothed Dolphin, Bottle-
nose Dophin, Atlantic Spotted
Dolphin, Pan-tropical Spotted
Dolphin, Spinner Dolphin,
Clymene Dolphin, Striped Dol-
phin, Curvier's Beaked Whale,
Blairville's Beaked Whale and
the other mammal us!
Fortunately, because it ap-
pears Wakulla County will be
"forever green," we will always
be limited with our growth and
that is fine with me. Thank
goodness our county is so
unique in being so wild and
green.

Scott at Jerry's Bait and
Tackle was extremely busy on
both Saturday and Sunday and
said he sold around 9,000
shrimp on Saturday. Jim Hage
fished Stoney Bayou and
caught two oversize reds. Rob-
ert Houghton fished around
the Rock Garden off Stoney
Bayou and caught and released
two limits of trout. He fished
the Rattlin Redfin primarily.
Dave Reynolds used live
shrimp around Cobb Rocks to
catch four nice trout. Adam
Meri fished at Alligator Point
over the weekend and caught
some oversize reds using live
shrimp. Gary Droze walked the
dikes at Stoney Bayou and
caught one red, one flounder
and two nice trout. He was us-
ing live shrimp. Eric Keyser
fished the Wakulla Beach area
and caught two nice trout and
a red!
Scott said he's starting to
see nfore and more young kids
fishing and this weekend was
no exception. Mike Hadden
fished with son Hunter and he
caught his first trout ever over
the weekend. Joe and Tina
Quinby took their nieces, Mor-
gan and Erin Bishop, and they
also caught their first trout
ever. They were fishing live
shrimp under a Cajun Thunder.
Mike Hopkins said the park-
ing lot was full on Saturday
and Sunday and plenty of fish
were caught. 'The trout have
moved out on the flats and are

Burns Will Be Conducted

The U.S. Forest Service will
be conducting prescribed burns
withinthe Apalachicola Na-
tional Forest in both the Wa-
kulla and Apalachicola Ranger
Districts dunlng'thp 'n'ext"12
months.
'T&)e burns are painn"ied' d81r-'
ing the dormant season, Octo-
ber through March, and the
growing season, April through
September. The USFS antici-
pates burning approximately
100,000 acres.
The burns are needed to
improve wildlife habitat, aid in
the restoration of native veg-

etation and reduce the threat
that wildfires pose to the for-
est, adjacent lands, private
property and the safety of wild-
land firefighters, forest service
officials said.

Connected actions related to,
the proposal consist of creat-
ing and maintaining control
lines or "fire breaks," removing
hazardous snags 'along control
lines and preparing red cock-
aded woodpecker trees, bee
apiaries, phone boxes and util-
ity poles for protection from
fire.

shrimp. Redfish continue to be
everywhere. Capt. Gene Strick-
land fished two days and they
caught and released over 50
and Capt. Terry Caruthers
caught and released 21.
Grouper fishing continues
to be sporadic. Some are do-
ing real well while others are
having a tough time. Most are
being caught in 60 to 65 feet
of water with dead bait and
live pinfish. No cobia were
caught over the weekend but
anglers spotted several schools
of fish. There were several
kings caught by folks trolling
Stretch 30s for grouper.
So far, no Spanish have
been caught and the pompano
bite hasn't started. One angler
did see quite a few jumping
through his wake while riding
in shallow water around Dog
Island.
Mike Pearson and Sammy
Dixon caught some nice trout
around the Wakulla Beach area
using grubs and Mirrolures.
.On Saturday Mike caught and
released a trout over 4 pounds,
which hit a sinking Mirrolure.
On Friday Mike went grouper
fishing and came back with
several nice grouper and am-
berjack and he said they threw
back several limits of red snap-
per.
Wendell Burton continues
to have success with his secret
weapon under the Cajun Thun-
der and Larry Hess of Shell
Point also found quite a few
trout around the oyster bars
and on the east flats out of
Shell Point.
There are a lot of folks on
the water now, so be extremely
careful. Remember to leave
that float plan with someone
and take those kids fishing.
Good luck and good fishing!

st COAST GUARD

j AUXILIARY REPORTS

By Sherrie Alverson

Readers, as many of you
know. for nearly 22 years I have
been responsible foi covering
all local auxiliary activities.
Fortunately, about a year ago I
found Carolyn Brown Treadon
in Flotilla 12. Not only did she
have the ability, but also the
willingness, to assume part of
the workload.
This past weekend aux-
iliarists from all seven flotillas
within Division 1, which cov-
ers the area from the Aucilla
River westward to the Alabama
line, attended the winter con-
ference at Fort Walton. Not
only was Carolyn deeply in-
volved in ':back of the scenes"
organization and the ultimate
success of the conference, she
furnished me most of the de-
tails for this column. Photo
credits go to her husband.
Duane.
At the awards banquet Sat-
urday night it was apparent
that for months Division 1 aux-
iliary members had spent
many, many volunteers hours
in support of the Coast Guard
non-military missions. Earlier
this month, when Dallas Coch-
ran, Division Captain, attended
the District 8 Conference in
Corpus Christi, TX, he was pre-
sented 200 awards to be pre-
sented to members of Division
1. Since then he has received a
few more from the Director of
Auxiliary office in New Or-
leans. Many awards from the
past year were delayed follow-
ing Hurricane Katrina. More
about them later.
The conference began Satur-
day morning and the day was
devoted primarily to member
training, beginning with basic
plotting and navigation train-
ing. Following lunch, members
were able to learn or refresh
their basic first aid.
That evening at the awards
banquet, the guest speaker was
Leo Lachate, Chief of Opera-
tions for the Florida Division
of Emergency Operations. Mr.

Plans For Magnolia Park Subdivision Are Approved

Former Wakulla County
Clerk of the Court Carlton
Tucker will be honored at a
new subdivision proposed by
the late clerk's son and ap-
proved by the Wakulla County
Commission Monday, March 6.
Dennis Tucker requested a
zoning change from Agriculture
to Planned Unit Development
(PUD) on a 34.2 acre parcel off
Harvey Mill Road in Craw-
fordville. The subdivision site
is located near Cynthia Street.
Tucker also received an ap-
proval for a preliminary plat for
the 47 lot Magnolia Park sub-
division. The approval followed
the second of two hearings
held on Tucker's request.
Dennis Tucker will honor
his father by constructing and
naming a ball field and park on
10 acres within the subdivision.
The development will include
sidewalks, central sewage treat-
ment and municipal water ser-
vices. Eddie Bass is serving as
the project agent.
Commissioner Howard Kess-
ler questioned if Wakulla Coun-
ty has a need for the amount
of single family dwelling lots
that are being approved by the
board each month. "How many
housing units are needed in
Wakulla County?" he asked.
Kessler added that commis-
sioners are faced with difficult
decisions and sometimes lack
the necessary information to
make them.'
The planning department is
working to create a new "needs
analysis" document that dem-
onstrates the housing needs in
the county, but Wakulla County
Community Development Di-
rector Donnie Sparkman said

Wakulla County Property
Appraiser Anne Ahrendt and
her staff have moved to their
new location at 3115A Craw-
fordville Highway, between the
county offices and Supervisor
of Elections Sherida Crum's
new office.
The new office has a new
telephone'numiberl's residents
can use 9210-0500 to reach the
appraiser. The old number, 926-
3271, will still work in the new
office.
The property appraiser's of-
fice has a new Internet web site
at www.mywakullapa.com
which connects to the web site
set up by former Property Ap-
praiser Ronnie Kilgore.
Ahrendt said her office ac-
quired the mywakullapa.com
domain because it was easier
to remember than the old web
address.

it won't be ready until June.
Despite Kessler's concerns,
he cast a vote in favor of the
rezoning and it passed unani-
mously. However, Kessler cast
an opposing vote on the pre-
liminary plat. It passed by a 3-
1 vote.
Commissioner Brian Lang-
ston said the developer is plan-
ning to keep two ponds in the
subdivision which will create
a unique environment for the
homeowners.
Kessler stated that the in-

creasing number of housing
units being approved in the
Crawfordville area is "choking
Highway 319 and the infrastruc-
ture is not there."
County commissioners also
approved a Small Scale Com-
prehensive Plan Future Land
Use Map amendment and re-
zoning for Victor and Sara
Steyerman near Premier Mo-
tors and H.R. Linzy Lane north
of Crawfordville.
The land use change request
was approved 3-1. The change

is from Rural 1 to Rural 2 which
allows commercial use of the
property.
Sara Steyerman told the
board that the development
will include an enclave of com-
mercial shops and offices with
boardwalks and natural land-
scaping. She rejected claims
from residents that the devel-
opment will turn into a strip
mall along the highway.
Resident Chuck Hess stated
his concern about creating a
number of corridor strip malls

first day of school set for Aug.
14, which is a week later than
school started this year. The
last day of school will be May
28.
Beth O'Donnell, the district
director of instruction, told the
school board that Aug. 14 was
the latest school could start
and still finish before the win-
ter break.
"Save Our Summers is still
out there," O'Donnell warned,
referring to a proposal before
the state legislature to have
school start around Labor Day.
"It may be premature," Su-
perintendent Miller told the
school board of their approval
of the calendar. "We may have
to bring it back."
Miller said the latest he had
heard on the bill was language
to have schools start on the
Monday before Labor Day,
though school boards could -
with a super-majority start as.
early as Aug. 8.
School board member Becky
Cook said she had sent out e-
mail to all 160 legislators ob-
jecting to the bill, and explain-
ing Wakulla County's reasons
for starting the school year in
early August.
Cook said she had also been
interviewed by the Boca Raton
newspaper and told.them that
the early start date had noth-
ing to do with FCAT testing.
She said she supported hav-
ing the first term end before
winter break, noting that it en-
ablet' students to eijo'f tihe
holidays. It also, she said, helps
students taking college classes
since the semester schedules
are similar,
Miller, a Democrat, was criti-
cal of the Republican legisla-
ture, saying: "The party in
power preaches local rule and
local decision-making."
Miller has contended that
the school calendar should re-
main a local decision.
The suspension of two
high school teachers was con-
tinued while an investigation

is on-going.
Teacher Elaine A. Turner, 36,
of Crawfordville faces criminal
charges of four counts of un-
lawful sexual acts with a minor.
Another teacher, Jeffery C.
Duggar, 36, faces charges of
tampering with a witness and
obstruction of justice.
A teacher's assistant,
Quniki~a L. Thomas, 24, was
fired by the district and also-
faces criminal charges of un-
lawful sexual acts with a minor.
Turner and Duggar are sus-
pended with pay pending a re-
view by the school board.
Miller said there are three
possible outcomes upon
completion of the investiga-
tion: the teachers could be dis-
missed; they could be sus-
pended without pay; or they
could be reinstated.
A contract with the
Urbanomics firm to investigate
impact fees for local develop-
ment was approved for an esti-
mated total cost of $11,500.
Jimmie Duggar, the district
finance director, told the school
board that the local system will
soon outgrow the special facili-
ties money from -the state,
which it has relied on for new
school construction. Having
local impact fees for new
schools is an option for fund-
ing, as is a half-cent sales tax,
bond issues or a local certifi-
cate of participation.
The school board is pursu-
ing special facilities funding for
a new elementary school to be
constructed noit h of 'Cra-
fordville next yeal. Supennten-
dent Miller predicted that, be-
fore the district even has fund-
ing for the new school,
Crawfordville Elementary will
have an enrollment above 900
students.
The school board cannot
approve impact fees that
must be done by the county
commission through an ordi-
nance,

clude some $8,000 for the ac-
tual study, plus a $1,000 fee for

presentation to the school
board and an additional $1,000
if there is a presentation to the
county commission.
Urbanomics recently worked
on impact fees for Baker
County. The firm reportedly
recommended a $5,000 educa-
tion impact fee from each new
home start, although that
school board went with a fee
of $1,500 per home.
The school board renewed
the charter for the COAST char-
ter school for five more years.
The Charter School for Art,
Science and Technology in St.
Marks was founded seven
years ago. The first charter it
received from the school board
was for three years, then it was
renewed for four years. The
COAST board had requested a
renewal for 10 years, indicating
it make financing easier for
some remodeling at the school
site the community center in
St. Marks.
"You've come a long way
and you're doing a good job
down there," school board
Chairman Greg Thomas told
COAST board members. "It
shows in the progress your stu-
dents are making."
SA 14-year-old seventh
grader at Wakulla Middle
School. was expelled by the
school board for trying to strike
an administrator.
The student, who is in ex-
ceptional education, will still
receive syiv'ices tlhQme as re-
quired by federal law.,
Besides the attempt to hit a
teacher, the student had also
received 47 disciplinary refer-
rals.

Commissioner Ed Brimner
said that recent commercial
development has been re-
quired to create more landscap-
ing with shade trees and, in
some cases, palm trees.
"Until we have a plan where
we want our community to be,
we are going to make this
(highway) a commercial corri-

dor," said Commissioner Kess-
ler. "There is no (commercial
development) plan in place and
that bothers me."
The zoning change was
from RR-1 residential to C-2
commercial. The land use
change and rezoning were ap-
proved by the same 3-1 votes
with Commissioner Kessler
voting in the minority.

Board Is Asked

To Readdress Letter

Unhappy that Wakulla Coun-
ty Commissioners did not take
any action against board mem-
ber Ed Brimner Monday, March
6, resident Jimmie Doyle asked
board members to readdress a
letter distributed by Brimner re-
garding the Inn at Wildwood.
on Monday, March 20.
Doyle said Brimner should
not have used county letter-
head to promote the Inn at
Wildwood with Florida Asso-
ciation of County officials vis-
iting Tallahassee during the
legislative session.
Commissioner Howard Kess-
ler was acting chairman on
March 6 and turned the letter
over to Wakulla County Attor-
ney Ron Mowrey for possible
action.
Doyle added that the inn-
did not offer local residents a
special deal when they called
to inquire about nightly rates.
"This concerns us," said
Doyle. "I want every business

in the county to succeed. He
just didn't think." She added
that board members should
have guidelines that help them
"know when they are stepping
out of bounds."
Attorney Mowrey respond-
ed to Doyle and Kessler's con-
cerns by stating that "the
county attorney does not inves-
tigate elected officials."
"It just doesn't look good,'
Doyle responded.
"I feel sure that it was his
intent to promote Wakulla
County," said Commission
Chairman Maxie Lawhon, who
missed the meeting following
heart surgery.
Board members, once again,
declined to take any action fol-
lowing Doyle's presentation.

THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, March 23, 2006-Page 17

Wakulla Gardens

Continued from Page 1
go from just a few homes to
dozens.
Plats that were approved 40
and 50 years ago are now be-
ing built on by individuals
seeking an affordable piece of
land and a place to live. Due to
the small size of the lots in
these areas, development is
racing forward with septic
tanks which, in turn, threaten
the environment and clean
drinking water.
Brimner said the county
commission must tackle the
problem with two steps. The
first, he said, involves regula-
tions that dictate how builders
build in environmentally sen-
sitive areas such as Wakulla
Gardens. The building stan-
dards changes may involve
items such as building heights
to allow for heavy rains like the
ones in January that flooded
areas that had never held wa-
ter.
The second step will have
to include the paving of roads,
sewage treatment line con-
struction, municipal water lines
and stormwater drainage.
Brimnerhas invited utility con-
sultant Eutah Utilities to help
the county address the infra-
structure concerns.
"Many of these areas that
have 50 foot by 100 foot lots
are ticking time bombs," said
Brimner. "If we're going to
grow, we need to do it right."
Brimner has stopped short of
suggesting a moratorium on
building in the area as some
residents who have attended
board meetings have sug-
gested.
Commissioner Kessler said
the subdivisions have become
"a county problem" rather than
a developer's problem because
the builders are following the
rules that are in place.
Kessler estimated the num-
ber of lots in Wakulla Gardens
at 5,000 and estimates of de-
veloped lots range from 2,000
to 2,500.
"There is a lot the county
can do," said Kessler. "Allow-
ing one house on a 50 by 100
foot lot with septic is wrong."
Iessler suggested limiting .de-.
vplopment to two of the small '
lots which would reduce the
number of septic tanks and al-
low residents to build larger
homes.,
He continued that in cases
where two adjoining lots are
riot available, the county may
be forced to purchase some
lots.
Residents who have spoken
to the board have complained
about everything from not be-
ing able to get out of their
homes during heavy rains to
flood waters changing direc-
tions due to the movement of
dirt during construction. One
resident said she used one of
the lots that's being sold in the
community to swim in as a
child. Another resident said he
is used to staying home when
it, rains hard due to his fear of
not being able to get back
home once he leaves.
"Builders are doing what the
county is allowing them to do,"
said Kessler. "This is a night-
mare, but it's Wakulla County's
subdivision."
SCommissioner Kessler ex-
pressed pollution concerns
from the developments since
they are located, near Wakulla
Springs State Park, the Wakulla
River arid Cherokee Sink. He
added that the county must be
careful to address its own prob-,
lems while negotiatiating with
the City of Tallahassee regard-
ing the threat of pollution from
the Tallahassee sprayfield and
the T. P. Smith Wastewater
Plant in southern Leon County.
Some residents of Wakulla
Gardens remain on wells de-
spite Talquin Electric providing
municipal water to the area.
Kessler encouraged those resi-
dents to test their wells fre-
quently to make sure the wa-
ter purity is not being compro-
mised by the septic tanks.
Residents have taken advan-

tage of Wakulla Gardens be-
cause it offers affordable hous-
ing, said Kessler. But residents
have expressed concerns about
the area turning into blight
with an increase in the crime
rate.
The commissioner added
that many of the property own-
ers he has spoken to have
never seen the development
plat. "People are shocked when
the trees are suddenly gone,"
he said. "What was platted in

the 1960s may not be appropri-
ate in 2006."
"This development is way
too dense in our karst environ-
ment," Kessler saic.
While the county officials
search for answers, the board
has directed Veolia.Water Sys-
tems Project Manager Randy
Merritt to grade the roads as
much as possible.
In addition, Merritt and the
board have discussed the pos-
sibility of acquiring vacant lots
to provide better stormwater

drainage. The board has also
discussed the placement of
drainage ditches and clearing
of right-of-way as a way to ad-
dress some of the problems
plaguing the area.
Closer to Crawfordville, a
resident in the Griners Addi-
tion area suffered severe flood-
ing in January from a nasty
storm system that passed
through the area.
Wakulla County Community
Development Director Donnie
Sparkman said many of the lots

that are now being developed
are in low lying areas. The Janu-
ary storm dumped five inches
of rain on the county over a few
hours creating headaches all
.over the county.
Kessler concluded that the
county commission is allowing
the development and must be
a big part of the answer. "Per-
haps we can hook these people
up to sewer," said the commis-
sioner. "Since the county has
allowed this density of septic
tanks, we have a moral respon-
sibility to help them out."

County Plans To Address Junk

Wakulla County Commu-
nity Development Director
Donnie Sparkman has re-
quested nominations of indi-
viduals willing to serve as
members of the county's
Code Enforcement Board.
On Monday, March 20, Spark-
man requested help from the
county commission. The plan-
ning department has investi-
gated dozens of code violation
complaints over the past two
years but has little power to
enforce county code violations
without an enforcement board
in place.
Several complaints have
been received, investigated and
closed following the satisfac-
tion of concerns at property
around the county, according to
Sparkman. But other property
owners have ignored the inves-
tigations, leaving Sparkman
with nowhere to go.
Sparkman estimated that
his office has between 10 and
15 cases that need to be,heard
by the Code Enforcement
Board. County commissioners
appointed a code board with
volunteers from the commu-
nity some time ago but the
group never met. "I've got cases
I can't go any farther with," he
said.
The original Code Enforce-
ment Board included Rodney
Lewis, Kathy Shirah, Ray Yawn,
Paul Johnson, Tim Bozeman,
Tim Jordan, B.R. Black, Chad
Hanson and Roger Shilling.
Since the board wys appointed,
Shilling has died, Black has
moved away and Lewis is in
the process of moving. Not all

I

of the original members are
expected to accept reappoint-
ment to the board. Commis-
sioners also suggested Randy
Nelson, Dana Peck, Ron Pia-
secki and Joey Prestia as pos-
sible code board members.
During the complaint pro-
cess, Sparkman mails the prop-
erty owner three warning let-
ters before taking the com-
plaint to the code board. Many
of the complaints stem from
residents who refuse to clean
up their property. "Junk in the
yard and burned mobile homes"
make up a large chunk of the
complaints that have not been
settled, said Sparkman.
If the Code Enforcement
Board listens to the complaint
and recommends that the prop-
erty be cleaned up, the county
will have to pay for the work
to be completed and file a lien
against the property owner,
Sparkman added. "I don't have
that (expense) in my budget."
Riversink area resident Su-
san Harp said she has been
complaining to the county
about junk on neighboring
property for more than four
years. "I was promised it would
go in front of the Code Enforce-
ment Board," she said. "Why
hasn't it? Why do I have to put
up with this? What can I do?"
"I understand Ms. Harp's
concern" said Sparkman. "It's
a mess."
"Hopefully it will get straight-
ened out," said Commissioner
Maxie Lawhon. "Our (old) rules
didri't hav~e ny teeth in them
We've chaii~d the 6rdiaiiLe.'",

Wakulla County Attorney
Ron Mowrey said residents
who are brought in front of the
Code Enforcement Board can
appeal their case to circuit court
if they do not like the county's
ruling. The cost of cleaning up
the property will be recovered
by the county when the prop-
erty changes hands, he added:

Fire Rescue Report

Monday morning, the
Crawfordville Volunteer Fire
Rescue Department was dis-
patched to a house fire on
Shadeville Road. On arrival,
flames were showing through
the roof. The incident com-
mander called for assistance
from the Wakulla Station, St.
Marks and Apalachee Bay de-
partments.
The volunteer firefighters
initiated an interior fire attack
and limited the fire to the rear
half of the structure. The fire
appeared to have started from
a battery charger attached to a
four-wheeler parked adjacent
to the rear of the house. Al-
though the fire was extin-
guished, there was extensive
damage from fire and water.
Monday afternoon, the
Crawfordville department re-
sponded to a one-vehicle roll-
over accident on Rehwinkle
Road. The driver, who was
wearing a seat belt, was not
injured.
Thursday, the St. Marks
department was dispatched to
a brush fire off Highway 98 at
the Flint Rock Management
hunting area. With assistance
from the Division of Forestry,
the fire was controlled within
30 minutes of arrival on scene.
This past week, the county's
volunteer fire departments re-
sponded to: one structure fire,
two brush, fires, three fire
alarms, three miscellaneous
fires, 11 vehicle accidents and
15 medical emergencies.

Wakulla County's
volunteer fire departments
need your help
The county's volunteer fire
departments, like.most through-
out the nation, are losing vol-
unteer firefighters at a rate
faster than they can be re-
placed. The problem of too few
volunteer firefighters in our
county is most acute during
the day hours when the ma-
jority of our volunteers are
at.their places of employment
and unable to respond to fire
calls.
This is evidenced by the fire
on Shadeville Road, as men-
tioned above, in which the fire
chief had to immediately call
for help from three other fire
departments in order to have
enough personnel and equip-
ment to fight the fire.
During work day hours,
some of the county's fire de-
partments have, on occasion,
been unable to respond to fire
and rescue calls due to a lack
of available firefighters. In
those cases, firefighters from
other departments must be
dispatched to the emergency
scene substantially delaying

"How Much?"
Sellers frequently struggle with
the right price to ask for their
home. Many times sellers base
their pricing on how much they
have invested. This can be an ex-
pensive mistake.

I 1 .

If your home is not priced
competitively, buyers who should
be looking at your house will not
see it because it is priced over
their heads or will reject it in
favor of better homes for the
same price.
The result is increased market
time, and even when the price is
eventually lowered, the buyers
may be wary because "nobody
wants to buy a house that no-
body else wants." The result is
low offers and an unwillingness
to negotiate.
Every seller wants to realize as
much money as possible from
the sale. Work with your agent
(hopefully me) to determine the
correct price for your home using
a comparative market analysis,
or sometimes a certified ap-
praisal. The final watchout-don't
use assessed value as that may
not remotely resemble actual val-
ue.
As always, call me for any of
your real estate needs.

response time;
The county's three busiest
volunteer fire departments at
Crawfordville, Wakulla Station
and Medart often have only
one or two firefighters avail-
able during day hours and, on
occasion, none
The problem of retaining
and recruiting volunteer fire-
fighters is not unique to Wak-
ulla County. It is a nationwide
problem. There are a number
of reasons for the decline in
'numbers of volunteer firefight-
ers, some of which are:
Many people now work
multiple jobs and have far less
free time.
The cost of gasoline and
vehicle maintenance is a sub-
stantial contributing factor.
When dispatched to an emer-
gency incident, volunteer
firefighters must use their per-
sonal vehicles in responding
either to the fire station to pick
up a fire truck or, in many
cases, directly to the emer-
gency scene.
As a result, a volunteer must
take money out of his or her
pocket to pay for gasoline and
vehicle maintenance in order
to belong to the local volun-
teer fire department. This is a
considerable expense consider-
ing the current cost of gasoline
and maintenance.
Not too many years ago,
local volunteer fire depart-
ments were often communi-
ties' only social organizations.
The department had to main-
tain waiting lists of residents
wanting to join but who had
to wait for a member to resign,
retire or die in order to create
a vacancy. Today, there are
many ways for people to'spend
their spare time other than
belonging to the local volun-
teer fire department.
Unlike in past years, new
volunteers must now attend
lengthy formal training ses-

sions before being certified
and allowed to serve as volun-
teer firefighters. That is a de-
terrent for many prospective
volunteers.
Since the terrorist attacks
on Sept. 11, people are more
aware of the type and extent
of dangers volunteer firefight-
ers could be faced with and,
as a result, are less willing to
place themselves in harm's
way.
We realize that there are
deterrents to becoming a vol-
unteer firefighter but we also
know there are many benefits
that should not be overlooked
nor understated. The primary
reason people serve as volun-
teer firefighters is out of de-
sires to be of service to their
communities and neighbors.

And, the feeling a volunteer
firefighter has when he or she
contributes to saving some-
one's house from burning, res-
cuing a child from a life-threat-
ening hazard, extricating a per-
son from a badly wrecked ve-
hicle, saving a life through ap-
plication of CPR or any'of many
other situations where the vol-
unteer firefighter has made a
positive difference in some-
one's life is an indescribably
uplifting and gratifying expe-
rience.
Although there are many
positive benefits to being a vol-
unteer firefighter, our coun-
ty's fire departments are, nev-
ertheless, steadily losing fire-
fighters. Many departments
had memberships ofwellover
20 firefighters each only a few

years ago. Today, some are
down to five or six volunteer
firefighters. That is way too
few to enable the departments
to provide adequate fire rescue
services for our rapidly grow-
ing communities.

If you are interested or
know someone who might be

interested in becoming a vol-
unteer firefighter or if you only
want more information about
the service, please contact the
volunteer fire chief for the area
where you live or work or

Court Shorts

Daniel Chavez, the Gadsden
County man who is charged
with knifing and killing his
estranged wife at a home in
Medart, was in court this week
on the issue of experts being
appointed to determine if he
is competent to stand trial.
Chavez, 24, is currently
charged with second degree
murder., e is charged with kill-
ing his 23-year-old wife, Kathy
Lynn Chavez, when he stabbed
her twice in the chest during
an argument at a friend's home
on Sept. 18, 2005.
Ines Suber, assistant public
defender representing Chavez,
objected at a hearing on Thurs-
day, March 16 to the state
attorney's office seeking to
have an expert appointed to
determine whether Chavez is
competent. The public de-
fender had apparently paid for
two experts of its own to ex-
amine Chavez. One was a Span-
ish speaking expert from Mi-
ami and the other a local
pyschologist.
Circuit Judge N. Sanders
Sauls denied the motion, say-
ing there was no record in the
court for appointment of ex-
perts by the defense and that
both sides needed to "start
over" with their records in the
case.
"It appears to be a situation
where one side is saying the
other hasn't complied with the
rules and it.appears nobody
lias complied," the judge said.
In othei court matieis this
week:
A man who violated his
probation on a 10-year-old lewd
and lascivious case was sen-
tenced to more than seven
years in prison after Judge
Sauls was notified it was a Jes-
sica Lundsford case, which re-
quire electronic monitoring of
sexual offenders.
At the sentencing on Thurs-
day, March 16, the judge at first
appeared to want to work out
an alternative sentence on Ken-
neth Reynolds, who had vio-
lated his probation with a mis-
demeanor drug charge in
Suwannee County.
Reynolds had entered a plea
to the violation of probation
without an agreed upon sen-
tence. Reynolds scored be-

tween 56 and 94 months in
state prison, although his de-
fense attorney, Elizabeth
Peskin, asked the court to con-
sider that Reynolds had already
served a year and a day on the
misdemeanor drug charge.
SReynolds spoke on his own
behalf as well, telling the judge
that he had met up with the
victim in the old lewd and las-'
civious case in the Wakulla
County Jail and that the victim
had apologized to him for mak-
ing false charges, and Reynolds
portrayed himself as having
been wrongly accused.
Felony prosecutor Mike
Bauer told the court that the
old charges stemmed from an
incident in which Reynolds had
attempted to molest a 14-year-
old boy at a local motel.
Ten years later, the victim's
version had only changed in
that he now says' he was not
touched, Bauer said. The victim
still claimed Reynolds had
locked him in a motel room
and made sexual overtures.
"I don't think he's right to
go back out in society," Bauer
said.
The judge was fashioning a
sentence in which he ordered
Reynolds to serve 94 months
in state prison, suspended on
the condition that he serve two
years of felony drug offender
probation followed by three
years of probation.
, "It's up to you to decide
what you're going to do," the
judge told Reynolds; and the
matter seemed over.
But when Bauer told the
court that the Jessica Lundsford
Act would apply in the case if
the probation was revoked and
reinstated, Judge Sauls changed
the sentence to a straight 94
months in prison.
Peskin said she would file a
motion to ask the court for a
rehearing on the matter.
Paul Mispel, 45, of Craw-
fordville, was sentenced to two
years probation for a felony
charge of possession of a fire
bomb, a third degree felony for
which he could have faced a
maximum, of five years in
prison.
According to the arrest re-
port, deputies were called after

gasoline and threatened to
throw it into a camper that a
man was living in.
Mispel was reportedly
drunk at the time and told
deputies he had consumed a
pint and a half of vodka.
In court on Wednesday,
March 15, Mispel pleaded no
contest to the charge, was ad-
judicated guilty, ordered to
serve two years probation with
the condition of 32 days in jail
with time considered served, to
consume no alcohol or illegal
drugs, and have no contact
with the victim.
Mispel was represented by
Assistant Public Defender Matt
Ream.
Twice on the Wednesday,
March 15 felony docket, Judge
Sauls sentenced defendants to
an additional 10 days in jail for
chewing gum in court.
In one case, while going
through the plea colloquy in
which defendants are asked if
they understand their rights,

Summerwind

Seeks Stop

Signs

Residents of the Summer-
wind subdivision will place a
table at the intersection of
Summerwind Blvd. and the St.
Marks Bike Trail to draw atten-
ton'to'the danger to bikes on
the trail.
A petition will be available
for people to sign asking the
state Department of Transpor-
tation to place stop signs on
the trail where it crosses the
subdivision road.
Residents of the subdivision
have reported a number of
close calls in which bikers have
nearly been killed by vehicles
and said they hope to get the
signs posted before someone
does get killed. Lemonade will
be served from 8 a.m. until 10
a.m. Saturday, March 25.
Residents estimated the
large subdivision has more
than 200 vehicles that come in
and out of the subdivision from
residences each day not includ-
ing vehicles from non-resi-
dents.

the judge stopped and asked
the defendant: "Is that gum
good?"
The defendant nodded and
continued chewing the gum.
In announcing the sentence,
the judge added 10 days in jail
for the gum. After the defen-
dant swallowed the gum while
being fingerprinted, Judge

Sauls suspended the sentence.
Another defendant, mo-
ments later, stood in the dock
before the judge chewing gum
and he, too, was ordered to
serve 10.days in jail. He was
taken into custody by baliffs
and placed in the jury box. Af-
ter swallowing his gum, his jail
sentence was suspended by the
judge.

Money Will Be Spent

The Florida Supreme Court
held that the proposed consti-
tutional amendment requiring
the legislature to spend money
on tobacco education programs
does not violate the single sub-
ject rule and the language is'
clear.
The amendment's goal is to
protect people, especially
youth, from addiction, disease
and other health hazards from
using tobacco. It would require
the legislature to spend a mini-
mum of 15 percent of the
state's tobacco settlement
money on a tobacco education
and prevention program.

If the amendment is ap-
proved by voters in the 2006
election, it is estimated that
some $57 million would have
to be earmarked for tobacco
education and prevention in
2007.
In a ruling released on
Thursday, March 16, the state
high court unanimously af-
firmed that the ballot language
complied with state law.

County Commission Transmits Comp Plan Amendments

Four new Wakulla County
Comprehensive Plan Amend-
ments were approved for trans-
mittal to the Florida Depart-
ment of Community Affairs
(DCA) Monday, March 6.
Wakulla County Commis-
sioners sent three large scale
Comp Plan Amendments to the
state as well as a text amend-
ment.
The board voted 3-1 to
approve a 158 acre Comp Plan
Amendment for applicant Paul
Kreager and agent attorney Bob
Routa from Rural 2 and Agri-
culture to Rural 3. The property
is located on the north side of
Wakulla Arran Road west of the
Spring Creek Highway.
The developer is allowed
one acre tracts with central
sewage treatment services or
five acre tracts without sewer
services,
Resident Chuck Hess ob-
jected to the request and stated
that the traffic on Spring Creek
Highway would increase great-
ly with all the new develop-
ment requests being made.
Michael Keys, speaking on
behalf of the Concerned Citi-
zens of Wakulla (CCOW), said
the density increase at the site
would be 140 units. "Due dili-
gence must take place to en-
sure Wakulla Springs is not fur-
ther contaminated with pollut-
ants that accompany increased
density and new subdivisions,"
said Keys.
Paula Knowles told the
board that the property owner
would donate right-of-way on
Wakulla Arran Road to allow
paving of the roadway.
Commissioner Howard Kess-
ler said the increase in density
and proximity to Cherokee Sink
and Wakulla Springs was a con-
cern.
Commissioner Brian Lang-
ston said septic tanks on the
lots would not be acceptable.
Wakulla County Community
Development Director Donnie
Sparkman said sewage treat-
ment service is available at the
property.
Board members voted 3-1 to
transmit the amendment to the
state, Commissioner Kessler
voted in the minority.
In other Comp Plan Amend-
ments considered by the Wa-
kulla County Commission
Monday, March 6:
The board voted 3-1 to
transmit a Future Land Use
Map change from Agriculture
and Rural 2 to Rural 3 and Con-
servation on 156.47 acres on
the east side of Spring Creek
Highway south of Wakulla
Arran Road and north of High-
way 61.

sonMiller represented appli-
cant Linderand, Inc. and stated
that the applicant was willing
to donate $25,000 toward the
paving of Old Shell Point Road
in an effort to get Tallahassee
traffic off U.S. Highway 319.
CCOW objected to the in-
crease in density at the site
with 155 units allowed at the
parcel.
"This parcel, which abuts
Wakulla Springs State Park, is
located within a few miles of
Wakulla Springs and within a
quarter of a mile from Chero-
kee Sink," read Keys from a
statement submitted by Chad
Hanson of CCOW. "Beneath
this property there are identi-
fied underground tunnels that
feed groundwater to Wakulla
Springs. This is not the location
to add urban-type development
where there are known con-
duits to Wakulla Springs. Ap-
proving a large subdivision on
top of the cave system that
feeds the spring would not be
very prudent planning consid-
ering the fact that Wakulla
County is considering entering
into litigation over the pollu-
tion of Wakulla Springs."
Michael Keys called the de-
velopment request "unbridled,
unplanned growth in the wa-
tershed."
CommiSsioner Ed Brimner
said he was concerned about
the links to the springs but
added, "Property rights have
got to be protected."
Greer told board members
that underground cave scientist
Todd Kincaid is working with
the applicant to develop the
site without impacting Wakulla
Springs.
Commissioner Kessler said
it was unknown if the devel-
opment would injure Wakulla
Springs. "When in doubt,
don't," he'added. The request
was approved by a 3-1 vote
with Kessler voting in the mi-
nority.
John and Sandra Heys re-
ceived a unanimous vote of
approval for a 20 acre Comp
Plan Amendment for property
on the southernmost end of
Iroquois Road and Wakulla
Garderikuiit 1. 7 "
The 20 acre parcel can be
developed with one unit per
five acres with paved roads and
one acre per 10 acres with un-

paved roads. The land use
change is from Agriculture to
Rural 1. There were no objec-
tions.
A Comp Plan Text Amend-
ment was approved 3-1 for ap-
plicant Phillip Spencer and
agent Elliott Varnum and Asso-
ciates. The text amendment
removes a one-quarter acre
minimum lot size requirement
in the "special area plan."
Spencer's preliminary plat has
been approved off Wakulla
Arran Road. The project density
has not changed but Spencer
plans to cluster the homes in
the development.
The request was approved
by a 3-1 vote with Commis-
sioner Kessler voting in the
minority.
Kessler asked Sparkman if
the county can answer ques-
tions such as how many hous-
ing units have been approved;
how many building permits
have been issued; how many
trips have been allocated to U.S.
Highway 319 by growth; how
many gallons of sewage have
been allocated for density
changes; and when the traffic
will drop to an unacceptable
level on U.S. Highway 319.
"Ignoring this data is highly
irresponsible, particularly since
all of these items affect indi-
vidual taxpayers in ways that
are not always calculated,"
Kessler concluded.

handle the costs without assis-
tance.
Commissioner Brian Lang-
ston said the fines, penalties
and forfeitures generated by
animal cases in court should be
passed back to the CHAT vol-
unteers to allow them to con-
tinue their valuable work.
County officials estimated the
board action will generate be-
tween $5,000 to $10,000 per
year for CHAT. There were no
objections from the board.
Langston added that the
work of the caring CHAT vol-
unteers saves taxpayers an es-
timated $50,000 per year in
money not spent on paid em-
ployees.
In other activity in front of
the Wakulla County Commis-
sion Monday, March 20:
SThe board accepted a bid
from Michael Turner of Craw-
fordville to repair the Wakulla
River boat ramp off U.S. High-
way 98. The $15, 600 bid will
be paid through the Florida
Waterways Grant Program.
Turner will replace the
cracked portion of the boat
ramp that is under water. The
submerged portion of the boat
ramp is 29 feet wide and ex-
tends 40 feet into the river. The
broken concrete will be re-
placed and a new slab will be
poured to a six inch thickness.
The county commission
approved a $22,000 expendi-
ture to renew the county land-
fill permit through the Florida
Department of Environmental
Protection. The county is per-
mitted to maintain the closed
Class 1 landfill and the open
Class 3 landfill. The existing
permit will expire June 1. Jones
Edmonds in Gainesville is the
consultant for the project.

Trees
Continued from Page 1
but some of the cedars, pines
and palms will be used in an
entirely new parking lot de-
sign," said Damon. "We ap-
plaud Naumann, Varnum and
Heaton for their willingness to
rethink their project and to
make the changes necessary to
save these trees."
Commissioners asked Da-
mon to put a builder and de-
veloper on the committee
and return before the board
with a proposal.
"We have all talked about
doing this," said Commissioner
Maxie Lawhon. "I think this is
a pretty good start."
Damon also suggested cre-
ating a development award
that rewards developers for tak-
ing the time to save trees and
landscape property. "My hope
is that the Shell Point redevel-
opment project will be the first
recipient of this award," Da-
mon stated.
Damon hopes the process
will last less than a year to com-
plete as committee members
look at other counties for ideas
on how to best preserve trees.
"This isn't to stop develop-
ment," Damon concluded.
"This is for higher quality de-
velopment."

Dead
Continued from Page 1
The fisherman found the
body at noon and flagged
down a Florida Fish and Wild-
life Conservation Commission
(FWC) boat that was coming up
the river. FWC officials con-
tacted the sheriff's office and
the WCSO Dive Team recov-
ered the body.
No driver license or identi-
fication card for the victim were
found at the scene.
No charges have been filed

through paper records. Olah
also noted that the name on
the tax roll is not indicative of
who actually paid the taxes,
noting, for example, that many
citizens pay taxes for family
members or may have heir's
property which has not been
probated and may still appear
under the name of a deceased
relative.
Judge Sauls asked Olah if
some people also owned mul-
tiple parcels, some as many as
40, 50 or 100 parcels, to which
she answered yes.
"Have you been requested to
give the names of property
owners instead of the number
of parcels?" the judge asked
Olah.
"No, sir," she responded.
After the testimony and ar-
guments were presented, the
judge chided the attorneys, say-
ing he saw nothing presented
at the hearing that was the
product of discovery, and was
disturbed by the amount of
time the case had dragged on.
Judge Sauls also asked why
it was even necessary to certify
the case a aaclass action case,
and complained that neither

side had a count of how many
people paid the tax.
Judge Sauls questioned how
typical the proposed represen-
tatives were, noting that two of
the five did not even pay ad
valorem taxes because of the
value of their property.'If a re-
fund were ordered, and the
county had to raise property
taxes to pay for it, those two
would not have to pay.
He also questioned whether
there should have been some
sort of published notice so that
other potential members of the
class would be aware of the
case. The judge pondered aloud
if the lack of notice was a fail-
ure of other citizens' due pro-
cess rights, noting that a refund
may be "a benefit they did not

request or a benefit with unin-
tended consequences."
In any class there would pre-
sumably be those who have dif-
ferent wishes in the matter, the

I

judge said. "Part of the class
might wish to forgo a refund"
in order to keep from paying
higher taxes, he said, while
some may be content to have

and do not want a refund.
Still others may have been
happy with the service and
glad to have paid the tax.
