If Monday rolls around a little quicker than normal, it's because an hour of sleep will be lost between Saturday night and Sunday morning. Wakulla County will "spring forward" during the early morning hours as the time will change on Sun- day, April 2 at 2 a.m. Residents are reminded to set their docks ahead one hour Saturday night. The change will lengthen the time it stays light at the end of the day while the morning will remain dark a little longer. The idea of daylight saving was conceived by Benjamin Franklin during his time of ser- vice as an American delegate in Paris in 1784. He wrote about it in an essay, "An Economical Project." Standard Time returns on Sunday, Oct. 29 when Wakulla County "falls back" an hour. Children To Hunt For Easter Eggs After taking a year off in 2005, the Wakulla County Eas- ter Egg Hunt is making its re- turn in 2006. The event is be- ing sponsored by fhe Wakulla County Parks and Recreation Department. The hunt will be held Satur- day, April 8 at 10 a.m. Registra- tion will be held at Hudson Park in Crawfordville. The ac- tual hunt will take place at 11 a.m. at Azalea Park in Craw- fordville. The hunt is open to children from babies to age 10. The event will be conducted in age groups as children search for the plastic eggs. Sections of Azalea Park will be roped off to allow the children to hunt in their age groups. The plastic Easter eggs will have toys and candy inside and each age group will have a drawing for an Easter basket.

Barwick To Stay On With Board Wakulla County Commis- sioners will have County Ad- ministrator Parrish Barwick around for another three years after Barwick signed his new contract last weekend. Barwick said he accepted the terms of the contract except for the salary which he hopes will be worked out with Com- mission Chairman Maxie Law- hon. The contract did not con- tain a salary increase and Barwick said he hopes to ad- dress the issue now that he has decided to stay on. The last few months lead- ing up to the end of the con- tract have been difficult as the work load for his office has increased. "I want to discuss the future direction 'of this of- fice with the chairman," he said. "We have a huge amount of change in the county and the growth has created specific needs." Barwick's finance director, Cheryl Blose, will be retiring on April 7 and the person who replaces her needs to have the same financial expertise while also having experience in the human resources field, he said. The county was recently chas- tised for its hiring practices in hiring the veteran service of- ficer. "She is a very accomplished financial person," said Barwick of Blose. "She is good in all areas but particularly good with finances." Wakulla County native Bar- wick has served as county ad- ministrator for nine years and will reach 12 if he completes the entire three year contract. The county is paying him $66,000 annually. "Personally, I wouldn't leave Wakulla County at a time when we're losing Cheryl," he said.

Commissioners voted 4-0 Friday, March 24 to reaffirm an earlier vote to authorize Wa- kulla County Attorney Ron Mowrey to file a petition re- questing an administrative hearing over the wastewater treatment permit. The county commission will not be alone in their challenge of the permit as the Florida Wildlife Federation has hired noted land use attorney David Theriaque to be part of the le- gal process and Wakulla Coun- ty resident Joe Glisson said he .has also filed an appeal to be part of the process-aswell. On Tuesday, March 28, Flor- ida Attorney General Charlie SCrist filed a petition to inter- vene in the DEP permit process and join Wakulla County Com- missioners, the Florida Wildlife Federation and Glisson. "Wakulla Springs as one of our most pristine and valued bodies of water must be pro- tected for future generations," said Crist. "This is a case where extra steps must be taken to protect this state treasure." Crist said Tallahassee Mayor John Marks was warned of pos- sible action in a March 14 let- ter. "The possibility of action was mentioned as an option should there be a failure to reach an agreement between the parties," he said. With more than 30 people attending the March 24 special meeting and Commissioner Howard Kessler out of town, the board voted 4-0 to autho- rize Mowrey to file the petition appeal prior to the 4 p.m. dead- line. At issue is the question of whether nitrogen from the sprayfield is contributing to pollution at Wakulla Springs which, in turn, is creating more nuisance aquatic plants at the state park affecting the darity of the water as well as wild- life. Wakulla County was grant- ed an "enlargement of time" by the DEP to negotiate with the City of Tallahassee shortly af- ter the Feb. 21 board meeting. "Following good faith ef- forts to negotiate with the City of Tallahassee, the county com- missioners of Wakulla County confirmed its vote to challenge a DEP permit which would al- low the City of Tallahassee to increase its daily discharge from two treatment plants to more than 32 million gallons of secondarily treated sewage just 10 miles upstream from this world class natural won- der and tourist attraction," Commissioner Maxie Lawhon read from a prepared state- ment.

The portal has been spear- headed by Technology Coordi- nator Alan Rosier who is in his second year at the district of- fice after a career in the class- room at Wakulla High School. Rosier was also a coach at Wakulla HIgh School and spent some time as the assistant prin- cipal at Wakulla Middle School. Rosier said district teachers have been involved in Manage- ment and Information Systems (MIS) training for the past year. The portal will give teachers a place to post information about their classes, such as home- work, while also giving the dis- trict a place to put information about attendance, grades and progress reports.

Wakulla County Commis- sioners authorized the fire as- sociation to seek the grant funding Monday, March 20. If the fire departments receive the $1,611,300 worth of grants, the county will be required to provide $80,565 worth of the funding. The money in the grants program is provided through the federal Depart- ment of Homeland Security. Harrison said the county match money represents five percent of the award. "There is no guarantee we will get the grants," said Harrison. "Last year we didn't get any." What- ever match money is required from the county won't be dis- bursed until the 2006-2007 bud- get year begins in October. The fire departments are expecting to hear from the fed- eral government whether or not they have been successful in acquiring the money some- time during the summer.

Springs are the windows into a vast underground water re- source, the Florida aquifer sys- tem, which supplies most of the state's drinking water. Springs provide the base flow for many of the streams and rivers that are used for boating, fishing, swimming, scuba diving, and snorkeling. The nearly constant tempera- ture of spring vater (69. to 73 degrees Fahrenheit) creates and ideal habitat for many plants and animals, including humans. Florida's springs are increas- ingly imperiled for a number of reasons such as wastewater effluent, septic tanks, storm water run off, depletion of groundwater levels from over pumping, and certain agricul- tural practices. Nitrate levels in many of Florida's springs, except in larger, more natural landscapes such as Ocala National Forest, have significantly increased in recent decades. We can no longer take for granted that our springs are the pristine, clear waters that we remember; they are threatened. A good example of what is happening to many of Florida's springs lies in the back yard of Florida's capital. Wakulla Springs is a state treasure the crown jewel of the state park system and a worldwide tour- ist destination. Yet, it is increasingly being Letters degraded, primarily by Talla- hassee's wastewater operation that sprays its effluent south of town where it seeps through the limestone and resurfaces as nitrate-fertilized water at Wakulla Springs. There are other sources of degradation but the sprayfield effluent is, according to the best available science, the chief source of the nitrate increases. Where children used to splash and swim, and glass bottom boats showed tourists the clear, deep spring waters, one now see shore-to-shore hydrilla and long, slimy strands of algae. If this were not bad enough, this fertilized water has significantly changed the ecology of the Wakulla River that flows to the gulf. There is also a potential re- lationship between increased nitrates in the springs, ground- water and river and changes in the near shore gulf waters, and this possibility should be sci- entifically evaluated. Fisher- men in Apalachee Bay are an- ecdotally reporting increasing amounts of filamentous algae on the bottom and on their hooks. The Florida Wildlife Federa- tion (FWF) is committed to tak- ing necessary actions to restore the health of Wakulla Springs, and to bring awareness state- wide of the imperiled condi- tion of many of our springs. We are challenging a permit issued recently by DEP to the City of Tallahassee that would, in our opinion, allow five more years of wastewater effluent with excessive nitrates to de- grade the area's groundwater and at least two Outstanding Florida Waters, Wakulla Springs and the Wakulla River, and possibly two more, the St. Marks River and Apalachee Bay. We have tried unsuccess- fully to negotiate with the City of Tallahassee and DEP and avoid litigation, but it appears that the court system is the last resort available to seek rem- edies that will restore Wakulla Springs. We also will continue to encourage public participa- tion to lead our officials to advocate and implement mean- ingful, pro-springs protection policies. We invite the public to join us in this effort. Please visit our web site at www.fwfonline. org - click on Wakulla Springs and learn more. Join FWF and help us protect Florida's most valu- able resource our drinking water, our recreational waters, and our places of refuge. We need your help in doing so. As Florida grows, we in- creasingly need an engaged public to make it clear to our elected and appointed officials that they must practice and promote actions that protect Florida's groundwaters from degradation. Manley Fuller President FWF Summerwind Can Solve Bike Trail Issue Yield Editor, The News: It is interesting that concern was expressed for biker safety in an article in the Wakulla News March 23, on page 19. It stated that the Summerwind subdivision is concerned about the danger to bikers at their intersection with the St. Marks Bike Trail and wants stop signs placed on the trail. In the first place, the Talla- hassee/St. Marks Recreational Trail is not only used by bik- ers. As intended, it is used in multiple ways: families with tykes in strollers or on tricycles; in-line skaters; biker/campers or backpackers cariyinig"their gear while traveling through the state: joggers; friends and families enjoying outings on foot or bicycle; power walkers; specialized jogger/strollers;. friends out for a stroll; dog walkers; horseback riders; folks recovering from a health issue out to regain fitness; people walking to work; birdwatchers; commuting bikers; school kids walking home from the bus drop off; scooters; skate board- ers; as well as recreational bik- ers. Did I forget anyone? The DEP Greenways Trail Office estimates a number of annual trail users that would represent two to three times greater number of trail users than the number of vehicles at that intersection. In the second place, the situ- ation with the trail at the Summerwind intersection has really only become dangerous relatively recently. I know first- hand that the situation has become more dangerous at that point on the trail within the last several months. Prior to that, residents pass- ing through that intersection generally did not appear to be in conflict with trail users and I've been a trail user for a num- ber of years. You've got to won- der what makes this year dif- ferent. Why are some drivers disregarding the yield signs and' endangering the lives of trail users? And in third place, that in- tersection clearly displays a standard DOT road sign direct- ing traffic from the east and the west on Summerwind to yield at that intersection. A proper yield requires from one to; 10 seconds maximum to al- low a trail user to vacate the intersection. The concerned residents of Summerwind have it within their own power to solve the problem of safety at the inter- section .by simply following the rule of the road sign yield as the DOT vehicular yield sign says to do. Seems simple enough if the real issue is con- cern for safety, as stated. If it's an attitude toward yielding, then that's another matter en- tirely, isn't it? Also interesting, since I have noticed that a few driv- ers were not following the rules of the road instructing the vehicle to yield to trail us- ers, and the danger that those vehicles were creating, I had just requested stop signs at that intersection, too. But my request is for the Summerwind yield signs to be replaced with stop signs in the interest of safety for trail users. Leah Bowman St. Marks Property Was Once Used To Grow Peanuts Editor, The News: In last week's Wakulla News David Damon was quoted: "Do you think for one minute Winn-Dixie would not have built in Wakulla County if they had been required to leave live oaks and other large trees and bushes as part of this develop- ment plan?" He goes on to say, "If you look at the Winn-Dixie across from the Leon County Fair- grounds you will see a totally different kind of development. The same company, one clear cut, one covered with huge live oaks that they were made to build around." Now all of the 150 original acres have been sold except for a few parcels in Commodore Commons owned by my brother and sister. In the late 1950s Commo- dore and Beaty Taff bought 150 acres of farm land from Mr. Joe Trice. The land was in two Hartsfield Survey lots, with the county road from Crawford- ville to Tallahassee (now Trice Lane) dividing them, The field west of Trice Lane had peanuts growing on it when the Taffs bought it. Mr. B.C. High and sons had a lease to grow peanuts that year and when they harvested the pea- nuts we planted both fields in slash pine. The following year the highway was built (369/ 319). In the late '70s, Taff Proper- ties cleared out the pines and let the land lay out two or three years. In the early '80s we began to sell the land begin- ning with Wakulla IGA on the east side and Jimmy and Jean Dykes and Hoggly Woggly on the west side. There were no trees on any side of these prop- erties.- Even today from the Ace Hardware (old IGA) to Mac- Donald's on the east side, and Dykes' property (old Lindy's Chicken) to Petro on the west side are no native trees. The only trees are palms and oth- ers that have been planted since the new owners have been there. Clayton Taff, Sr. Sopchoppy Editor, The News: SI have'been reading with- interest the articles and letters about Commissioner Brimner.' I was interested in his version of equality in hiring and eth- ics where he hasn't seemed to acquit himself too well. Now, it seems, I should also be in- terested in his approach to -public money being spent ad- vertising get this one pri- vate business! In the recent article in The News, it was brought out that he had sent a letter promoting one Wakulla County business (a motel), using public statio- nery, public equipment, public employees, and public stamps. That's right. One. Single. Soli- tary. Business. In this article Commissioner Brimner implied that the rea- son the motel was included in the letter was because the motel was offering a "special" on rates. Quoted in The News, he said that the Wakulla Springs Lodge was "unwilling to offer any special," implying of course, that the motel he was promoting was offering one. Well, it's not. Being interested in good deals generally and in Mr. Brimner's conduct in particu- lar, I sent my wonderful hubby Correction In the Feb. 2 issue of The Wakulla News it was reported that the fee to dump construc- tion and demolition debris at the county landfill increased to the motel to see what rates Swe c-ould-get. Seems -he.stan- dard rate they quoted him - and the rate they quote every- body is Mr. Brimner's "spe- cial" rate. Are we now to think what he said, to excuse his conduct was, in fact, not true? What is this man thinking? That he wouldn't be found out? That no one would check? That he was going to slide? That his awful conduct would be forgot- ten in this matter? Somehow things would blow over? Surely there was no earthly reason that I can think of for him to use public funds for a private business. If I had a pri- vate business in Wakulla Coun- ty I would sure be very upset at Mr. Brimner for favoring one business over another, or one type of business over another. As a matter of fact, I am very surprised that taxpaying pri- vate enterprises have not com- plained, period. Heaven help us. Is this the man the commission chose over Commissioner Kessler in' the City of Tallahassee spray- field negotiations? Shame on them all. Mary Cortese Tallahassee and Wakulla County from no charge to $85 per ton. The old fee was actually $35 per ton. The landfill still offers dumping of white goods at no charge. We regret the error.

A ninth item, a flood variance request, was continued. County commissioners will hear the planning requests on Monday, April 3. Included in the agenda was a rezoning request and Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Fu- ture Land Use Map Amend- ment from the estate of Billy Gaby and agent Bob Routa. The 9.6 acre site could be- come home to nearly 100 townhouses. The land use change recommendation was from Urban 1 to Urban 2 which brings the density from two units per acre to a maximum of 10 units per acre. The rezon- ing request was from RR-5 resi- dential to R-3 multi family. The project is named Live Oak Pas- ture and is located south of the southeast intersection of Dan- iel Lane and High Drive in downtown Crawfordville.

THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, March 30, 2006-Page 7 Taif Wavrers By HEIDE CLIFTON President CHAT of Wakulla, Inc. www.chatofwakulla.org Recently we received a cute little female Yorkie/Schnauzer mix at the shelter. The little dog, had a really bad back leg and it looked like she might have had an operation at one time. She was definitely un- comfortable and yelped when you touched her the wrong .way. The people who brought her in gave her up because they were moving and could not take her. We always won- der how anybody can do that to their dog. However, this time it made me think. It prob- ably would cost a great deal of money to get her fixed up again and some people just do not have the funds to do that. Our shelter director asked me to send something out to the membership with the dog's picture to see whether somebody would take pity on this cute little female. Eutha- nasia never entered our mind and we just knew that some- body would rescue her. Well, somebody did. She is a CHAT member and I do not want to identify her because I did not ask her for permission to do so. She came for the dog and took it to her vet in Talla- hassee. The diagnosis was grim. The dog had a shattered upper leg and it looks like the only thing that can be done is to amputate the leg. The lady who took the dog wanted to sleep on the matter overnight whether or not to take on such a big responsibil- ity and expense. The next day she told us about her decision to give the dog another lease on life. CHAT board members voted to pay for half of the operation but the lady did not want to hear of it. She said that it was something she had to do and that was that. I do not know of many people, including myself, who would take on such a project. It is one thing to have some expensive procedure done on a dog you owned and loved for a long time, but a totally strange animal? All of the CHAT folks and the employees of the shelter need a good story like this from time to time and our deepest thanks go out to the woman who did this wonderful deed for this Yorkie mix. Please, have your animals spayed/neutered. Six million dogs and cats have to be euthanized every year in the United States. We should do much better with the creatures we are responsible for. Adult Abuse, Neglect Is A Serious Concern By MARJ LAW For Rotary of Wakulla County The Rotary Club of Wakulla County attracts some great speakers, and Chris Shoe- maker,, director of Adult Ser- vices under the Department of Children and Families, was no exception. Speaking to both Rotarians and senior citizens at the senior citizens center on. Thursday, Chris brought up a sensitive and painful subject: that of adult abuse and ne-i Select. ' Mr. Shoemaker. who has Worked for the department for 34 years, startled his audience by informing us that, from Pensacola to Key West, Florida had.41,000 cases of suspected abuse of both children and adults last year. Seventy per- cent of these victims are eld- erly, Elderly refers to those people who are above 60 years, old' and are either living on their own, with relatives or friends, or are institutionalized in nursing homes or other care situations. Florida has mandatory re- porting law. If you know of a situation like this, or if you suspect it, you are required to report it to the abuse hotline by phone or fax. The number is 1-800-962-2873. Criteria for abuse is that the victim is disabled or elderly, and that what is reported is abuse, neglect or exploitation. The information is entered into a database. The.investigator nearest to tle victim must respond with- in 24 hours. There are 245 in- .vestigators in the Pensacola to Key West area. If there is a life- threatening situation, the in- vestigator responds and meets face to face with the victim within two hours. The investigative process begins by securing and pro- tecting the victim. If the adult has a mental impairment and "lacks capacity," the investiga- tor can issue a "protective or- der" to take the victim to a safe place for up to 60 days. However, it is rare that the victim has to be removed from his current residence. In-home service professionals are avail- able to intervene and amelio- rate the conditions which lead to the abuse. Ninety-nine and 7/10 percent of the cases are. completed in just 60 days. Although every investigator gets 12 to 20 new reports each month, Florida has a less than one percent recidivism rate. Our next discussion, thanks to program manager and Presi- dent-Elect Donna Bass, will be Jack Shreve from the Attorney General's Office. He is a Senior Special Counsel for Consumer Affairs. Aileen Posey won first place and $75 in the Crawfordville Woman's Club Capture Wakulla County photo contest. She pho- tographed "Ellie Pelt's Old Homestead."' The photo contest was an- nounced in January and was slated to be judged at the Ro- tary Club's Valentine's Celebra- tion at Hudson Park in Febru- ary. With bad weather in Feb- ruary, judging was pushed to the Crawfordville Lion's Club St. Patrick's Day Festival in March. Individuals attending the festival were asked to judge the photos. A total of 18 photos were entered and displayed. Posey donated her winnings back to the club so that the money could be awarded to the sec- 6nd and third place winners. Senior Citizens' News By DELYNN BASTIAN We know our own bodies better than anyone, it is simi- lar to having a car problem. We have driven the vehicle for a long time and when we start to hear strange noises or the ride doesn't seem to feel quite right, we take it to a mechanic to find out what's wrong. The mechanic may feel at first that there is no problem (especially if it's one of us women) when we try to de- scribe the ping, ping, the bird chirping noise, the bumpety, bump as we go down the road. Many people are more sat- isfied with their health care if they share the responsibility with their health professional. Your health professional is an expert on medical care, but you are the expert on yourself. Often there is more than one option for diagnosing or treating a condition. By part- nering with your health profes- sional, you can help choose the option that best fits your val- ues, beliefs, and lifestyle. You also will feel more confident about carrying out the chosen treatment. Here are some tips for be- ing a good partner with your health professional: Build a relationship with your health professional. Let your health professional know that you want to be a partner in your health care. Tell the health professional what your expectations are. Be an active participant in each appointment. Listen care- fully to what your health pro- fessional says. If you do not understand a diagnosis or treatment, ask questions. Tell the health professional if you do not think that youcan carry out the prescribed treatment. Share in every medical decision. Tartan Day To Be Held The fourth, annual Fiddles and Thistles tartan Day Cel- ebration will be held Sunday, April 2 at 2 p.m. at Chillas Hall,- 156 Hefferman Drive in Lanark Village. Entertainment will feature the Lanark Scottish Fiddle Or- chestra, Regional Scottish Fiddle Champion Aisha Mou- ghrabi and Scottish dancers Laura Kerr and Company. Lanark Village was founded in the late 1800s by a land de- veloper from Lanarkshire, Scot- land. It was marketed as a Scot- tish settlement in the United States. The Lanark Scottish Fiddle Orchestra is composed of mu- sicians from Apalachicola, Carrabelle, Tallahassee and Lanark Village. Voluntary dona- tions will be accepted at the door.. For more information, call Cal Allen at 697-8380. ABATE Will Attend Rally April 10 As anyone who drives in Wakulla County is aware, we have more than our share of motorcycles on the roads. Which also means we have our share of motorcycle accidents. That is one of the concerns of ABATE of Florida. ABATE, which stands for "American Bikers Aimed To- wards Education" or "A Broth- erhood Against Totalitarian Enactments," is a nationwide non-profit Motorcycle Rights Organization (MRO) that is open to all persons who are concerned with motorcycle rights and motorcycle safety. Many drivers are not aware that one of the primary causes of motorcycle accidents is au- tomobiles turning in front of motorcycles they don't see. Although many know ABATE as the organization that got the helmet law repealed in Florida, they are not aware of the ac- tivities ABATE engages in to educate the public and other motorcyclists about motorcycle accidents and accident preven- tion. For. example, ABATE was instrumental in getting a stiffer penalties bill through the leg- islature last year to address drivers who run red lights and stop signs, maiming or fatally injuring motorcyclists. On April 10, ABATE of Flor- ida will have its 11th annual Freedom Rights Rally where riders from all over the state will make a "police escorted" 20 miles run down Apalachee Parkway to the Capitol to meet with legislators to discuss these and other issues. The Big Bend Chapter which meets in St. Marks once a month, was born at last year's Freedom Rally. For more information about this organization, con- tact "rc" at 925-9912. Kathy Galloway won second place and $50 for "Sunset Fish- ing at St. Marks Lighthouse" and third place and $25 went to Neil Hostnick for "Fog Set- ting on River." The Crawfordville Woman's Club will use all of the photos in future projects and publica- tions as well as displaying the photos with their "character and natural beauty" around the county at future events.

The next few columns will be about some of the small things that sell, or prevent the selling of your home. Potential buyers can make wrong assumptions- about the slightest little item. Susan Council -S. Sellers should always check light bulbs and faucets. Dripping water rattles the nerves, discolors sinks, and suggests faulty plumbing. Burned out bulbs leave prospects in the dark. If cabinets or closet doors stick in your home, you can be sure they will also stick in a prospect's mind. A little effort on your part can create a smooth closing for your cabinets and your home. Watch out for household safety as well. Homeowners learn to live with all kinds of self-set booby traps such as toyh on the stairs, slippery rugs and low- hanging overhead lights. Make your residence as non-perilous as possible. Don't forget about your pets. They're great companions, but not when you're showing your home. Some folks even consider pets to be unsanitary in a home. So do everybody a favor and keep them outside or even send them on vacation when there's a showing., . Don't let little problems detract from what's right with your home and call me for any of your real estate needs Susan Council (850) 251-1468 Broker Associate, RE/MAX Professionals the ceremony.

He would plant things like fruit trees and veg- abet bulslbt he did not water them.; SHe believed that the roots !should spread out and find their own water. He said if you 'start giving them water then they will just sit there and wait on you to bring them more.

You will hear only positive comments about the Litter Control Unit. that's because it is something people in our community want. It's a quality of life issue, like animal and traffic control. When Sheriff David Harvey ran for re-election, he listened to his constituents. Ochlock- onee Bay resident Kate Brim- berry made herself known to him right away. She wanted him to do something about the litter on our roads, in our parks, and along our shoreline. Kate just was not satisfied with the status quo. Sheriff Harvey knew he was going to have to act. He called J.D. Turner and hired him. "He understood the issue," said Sheriff Harvey. "He knew how important it was." In 1991, J. D. Turner drove the first Litter Control Unit. He'd be awake early, and he'd take the prisoners out at the crack of dawn. He personified Deputy Odom, Sgt. Alley, Sheriff David Harvey the term "work ethic," and he made sure that those who rode with him were fully aware he expected a hard day's work out of them. J.D, expected hard work, but the inmates liked him anyway. He knew how to handle them. He'd give them treats, too. A special one would be cola and peanuts. jo^ts &(6lorj : Mineral Make Up *Men n Now Available! *Women I *Children, *Manicures I *Pedicures Gift Karen & Melissa I Highlights Certifiates Barer Stylist I Colors Permsber S - -2481 Crawfordville Hwy. #6 Crawfordville, FL 32327 - About five years ago, Sher- iff Harvey created the second Litter Control Unit. 11 "When we acquired the state road contract, it gave us enough money to add the sec- ond unit," he explained. Sgt. Alley and Deputy Odom run the two Litter Control Units. "I know it's a big help to the community," said Sgt. Alley, "and it's an every day job." Dep. Odom added, "As long as you have people, you'll have litter. Some roads are hard to keep clean. You could pick up Lower Bridge Road three times a week, and it still wouldn't stay looking good." Easy or hard, Sheriff Harvey intends to keep both units on the road. "Somebody has got to deal with litter. At the sheriff's of- fice, we do it with enthusiasm and determination." Summers AImos Here.

Page 10-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, March 30, 2006 Business &I 1g; Biologists Manuel Espejo, Ralph Ventura And Sonia Pi With Hatchlings Breeding Shrimp In Panacea By WILLIAM SNOWDEN Of The Wakulla News "We have buyers waiting," says Manuel Espejo, the owner of American Shrimp, the new shrimp hatchery in Panacea. The facility plans to begin shipping shrimp larvae within the week, sending tens of thou- sands of baby shrimp to be grown in ponds in South Florida as well as Mexico and Belize. The larvae will likely end up as food or bait. The customers are there, Espejo says,,and with the weather warming up, he is hopeful the hatchery can get up to its expected production of 2 million to 4 million baby shrimp being shipped out weekly. The Cuban-born Espejo, a marine biologist who worked on shrimp breeding techniques at the University of Havana, immigrated to-Miami to be with family. He got support from the aquaculture division of the Florida Department of Agriculture for a shrimp hatch- ery, and. got financial backing froni a lawyer in Miami. :- ! Looking for a facility on the Gulf of Mexico, he and his part- ners came to Panacea and .bought the old Town 'n' Coun- try hardware store at the edge of town, which had stood aban- doned for at least 25 years. Espejo stuggles to make himself understood in English. He and the other biologists on the project, also Cuban, apolo- gize for not being able to com- municate. "In Havana, everyone speaks Spanish. In Miami, you don't need English. But here -," he gestures and smiles. He had originally planned on six months to a year to get the hatchery up and running, but the condition of the old building drew the process out to more than a year and a half. Among the problems was the old electrical wiring in the building, which was outdated and had been gnawed on by mice. Other aspects of the project took time as well. The facility has an extensive plumbing and filtration system. The large tanks for the larvae were molded of fiberglass. Another problem was that the water in Dickerson Bay had too much freshwater in it. The water off Alligator Point, though, had the right salinity and so they got a tanker truck to haul water to the facility. Every week, the facility uses another 6,000 gallons of bay water. The plant relies on eggs pro- duced by the brood shrimp, the large females and males culled from the best of what was taken in the nets in Apalach- icola. There area half-dozen tanks with some 80 of the brood shrimp. Every night, at 6 p.m., the lights are cut off in the brood room. At 9 :p.m., the females with eggs are taken from the tank to the incubation room, a warm room with small barrel- like tanks where the water is kept at a constant temperature and specially filtered. Here the females lay eggs in their indi- vidual tanks, and are taken back to the brood room. After several hours, a bright light is shone on the tank to draw the photosensitive, micro- scopic hatchling larvae to the March 8, 1976 marked a turn- ing point in the lives of Edwin and Sharol Brown. It was the day, 30 years ago, that they went into business for them- selves. Edwin Brown & Associates started in a small building across the highway from the courthouse in the small block building with metal awnings that is currently home to a church. "We wanted to be back in Wakulla County," Sharol says. In 1976, the economy was "pretty rough," she recalls. Edwin says he had one sur- veying job lined up on the Mill Creek subdivision when they opened up shop in that one- room building. That building had formerly served as the Crawfordville Post Office and then as a laundromat,'among its other incarnations before the Browns took it. Sharol remembers working on the walls where blocks had been removed for dryer vents. Up to then, Edwin had been working as a field supervisor for Broward Davis. "From the day we opened to today," Edwin says, "we've never had to shut down and go home because of a lack of something to do." The couple, both of whom grew up on small farms, still grow their own vegetables in a garden and raise and process their own meat. In 1990, the Browns built a brick office across the street from Azalea Park. Their son, Wade, is a li- censed surveyor and runs the business now. Their daughter, Traci Cash, is a certified public accountant and has her own business next door. "We feel like we've really been blessed," Sharol says. "The county's been good to us over the years," Edwin says, noting that when he started the business it consisted of him and three others. Nowadays, the firm has 27 employees and could use more, Edwin says, to deal with the work. The growth they have seen since they opened has been as- tounding, they say. Back 30 years ago, there were four busi- nesses north of Crawfordville to the county line two restau- rants, a garage and Wakulla LP. Sharol says she always an- ticipated the growth would come to Wakulla. It's natural, she says, since people have dis- covered Wakulla is the perfect place to live. Edwin expects that, in an- other 30 years of growth, de- velopment will be solid from here to Tallahassee. Of the changes in the county, Edwin gets a wistful smile remembering. "Crows used to roost right there where Winn-Dixie is now," he says. "Something they liked about the woods in there. The trees' would be full of them." Edwin Brown & Associates, surveying, mapping and engi- neering, is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to noon on Friday. The office can be reached at 926- 3016.

They are scooped from the tank, tiny white particles swirling in the clear water. A technician takes a sample of the water and, using a micro- scope, counts how many larvae are in a sample. One female shrimp can produce anywhere from 60,000 to a half-million eggs. The larvae are then moved to a large tank 'wheie they are: feed algae and a special protein formula. The water is fre- quently tested for nitrates and ammonia. Espejo estimates that some 20 percent of the lar- vae die during the first stages of life. After 15 days, the larvae are large enough to ship. The facility ships the larvae in 28 gallon plastic bags at a low temperature with 50,000 to 100,000 in a container. In three months of warm weather in a tended pond, the shrimp will be mature. Prices are $10 for 1,000 shrimp or $10,000 for a million shrimp. "The price is a little higher than for the Pacific white shrimp," Espejo acknowledges, but he figures the native Gulf white shrimp are worth more. There are seven Cuban bi- ologists running the facility, plus another person helping out. The families have bought homes in Crawfordville. Espejo says he wants to open up the facility to local schools, bring in tours, for ex- ample, of students from Medart Elementary, and to have ma- rine biology students from FSU cole. ie to do research. '"' They are getting to; the point' with the facility, he says, where they will soon.need to hire people. currently the work day is running from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and then some hours during the night, seven days a week. The families like Wakulla County, Espejo says, noting that it is different than Miami. "In Miami is ," and he moves about, acting out the word "dancing" as it comes to him.

Conser- vation initiatives have re- sulted in the issuance to car- riers of 13.5 million fewer numbers since 1999, meaning fewer consumers will have to face the expense and incon- venience of changing area codes. The commission initiated "thousands-block number pooling," allowing phone numbers to be allocated to service providers in blocks of 1,000, instead of the histori- cal 10,000. In addition, the commission took back un- used blocks of numbers from carriers who did not assign the numbers to customers. The effect of the actions taking by the commission is the extension of the viability of Florida's existing area codes by anywhere from two to 11 years. Because of popu- lation growth, the prolifera- tion of cell phones and dial- up Internet services, Florida has seen the number of area codes expand from four in 1994 (305, 407, 813 and 904) to the current 17. In 2002, the PSC estimated that the local 850 area code would be exhausted by 2008. In 2005, the exhausted esti- mate was extended, to 2010. 926-9663 SDon't Make A Move Without Us!

The Wa- kulla County Coastal Optimist Club sponsored the event which promotes academic suc- cess. Longtime announcer Mike Carter and his fellow club members volunteered their time in assisting the school with the event. "Each fifth grade team played extremely well and it was obvi- ous that they had put a great deal of effort into studying," said Assistant Principal Dee- Ann Hughes. Team B won. the competi- tion and was represented by Captain Randell Mainer, Bran- den Piland, Jake Hunter, Emile Barnes and Taylor Daniels. Team B members received blue ribbons. Team A was led by Captain Isaac Roe, Jonathan Chunn, Emily Hodges, Tayler Williams and Ashlan Eddy. Team A mem- bers received red ribbons. Jake Hunter won the ribbon for being the high scorer on his team while Jonathan Chunn was awarded a ribbon for be- Sing the high scorer on his team and the highest overall scorer. "We are very grateful to the Optimist Club for the dedica- tion and support of Shadeville each year," said Hughes. "We are very fortunate to have people that care so much about enhancing the educational op- portunities for the students of Shadeville- and Wakulla Coun- ty." When you walk into Cyn- thia Golden's math class at Wakulla Middle School, you may find eighth grade stu- dents working in a mock bank, earning "money," receiving printed "checks," or listening to presentations from local bank employees. Providing rel- evant connections to math les- sons for her students is one of the reasons Golden was se- lected as the Wakulla County School District's March Teach- er of the Month. She has also been recog- nized as a National Board Cer- tified Teacher and will com- plete the rigorous reading en- dorsement program in May. WMS Principal Jo Ann Daniels said, "Cynthia Golden is one of our most awesome classroom teachers, No one in our entire school gets the level of improvement from students that she does. Her students are lucky that she is their teacher because they are going to learn and they are going to improve their FCAT scores. "Mrs. Golden has a gift for analyzing problem areas and matching them to the instruc- tion needed to get results. Her specialty is taking on the chal- lenge of working with some of our neediest students. She is able to remove stumbling blocks and find solutions. "Mrs. Golden gets her stu- dents motivated and achiev- ing. Both enthusiastic and cre- ative, she spends many extra hours planning unique les- sons, or getting great ideas from the Internet. She is al- ways willing to share ideas with other teachers or to help in any way she can. Cynthia Golden is one of the major rea- sons why WMS is so success- ful." When she was young, Gold- en's father was on a special assignment as a civil service electronics technician and her family moved around. Golden attended schools in Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Georgia, and -.4 -V"L Cynthia Golden Tennessee. She met her hus- band, Robert Golden, at church and has lived in Wakulla County ever since. She received her Bachelor's and Master's de- grees in Elementary Education. Golden's experience is di- verse as she has taught middle school reading, math, and cho- rus, as well as first, second, third, and fourth grades. Not only does she stay busy plan- ning exciting lessons for her students, but is a contributing member of the National Coun- cil for Teachers of Mathemat- ics and Phi Lambda Theta. She also teaches math in the after- school program and shares her extraordinary musical talent as the pianist for The River of Life church. Denise Smith's success as a Riversprings Middle School paraprofessional may be linked to the nickname she earned as "K-9 Unit," respectfully given to her because she can sniff out trouble. That awareness con- tributes to her effectiveness with behavior modification. RMS Principal Dod Walker gave the following explanation of why Smith was selected as the March Employee' of the- Month: "Denise Smith is an outstanding parapro in our ESE Denise Smith department. She goes above and beyond the minimum ex- pectations every day and makes a positive impact in the lives of students at RMS. She is a team player with a single purpose, that is, to help chil- dren. "She has a most challeng- ing position, working with learning disabled students, yet she rises to that challenge without complaining. Her rela- tionship with the kids and her determination to get the job done right are personal stren- gths and campus assets." Smith attended Sopchoppy Elementary School, Wakulla Middle School and graduated from Wakulla High School. She then.went on to Lively Vo -Tech and earned a secretarial certifi- cate. Her eight years of experi- ence as an administrative as- sistant provided training that is beneficial as well. Smith said time speht with students and helping them dis- cover their strengths and ulti- mate success bring her the greatest job satisfaction. She added that she enjoys the ca- maraderie among her col- leagues' not only at RMS but throughout the district. Smith is a 'greatJ supporter of extra- Gurricular 'events and routinely attends to cheer on'the stu- dents at RMS. Rep. Will Kendrick With CES Students In Tallahassee Students Visit State Capitol Crawfordville Elementary School fifth graders from Polly Bohannan's, Lynne Smith's and Michelle Bagwell's fifth grade classes toured the Florida Capi- tol recently to see the legisla- tive process in action. The students sat in the gal- lery of the House of Represen- tatives-chamber while the leg- islature was in progress and were recognized by Rep. Will Kendrick of House District 10 which represents part of Wa- kulla County. Students also discussed their trip and interests with the Florida lawmaker outside the chamber. "It is always a pleasure to have school children visit the Capitol and let us hear of is- sues and concerns that affect each of them on a daily basis," said Kendrick. "We are always happy to see students who are interested in the legislative pro- cess because they are the fu- ture leaders and lawmakers of this great state."

The eighth grade band from Wakulla Middle School partici- pated in the Florida Band- master's District Festival at Florida State University in Tal- lahassee on Friday, March 10. This festival provides an oppor- tunity for the students and di- rector to receive valuable feed- back and comments to guide the development of their band program. The bands are graded on three songs that are prepared and performed on stage and they are also graded in sight- reading which is playing two songs that the band has never practiced before the festival. Director Laura Hudson stated that this band was very well prepared and gave 100 percent of themselves in their perfor- mance. "I was so proud of how hard they worked in preparing the music," said Hudson. "These students have a real sense of pride in their performance that I admire very much. I want to thank Mr. Mike Crouch for working with my band again this year while we prepared for the festival. His comments and suggestions are invaluable to my students and me. I also appreciate Mr. Brian Dow (a fellow teacher,at WMS) for his valuable feedback during our final joint rehearsal." The band ratings awarded at the festival are superior, ex- cellent, good, fair, and poor. Three judges grade the pre- pared music and one judge grades the sightreading. Wak- ulla Middle received a superior in sightreading and an overall score of excellent. "This festival is the equiva- lent of FCAT for band pro- grams," said Hudson. "It helps us identify our strong and weak areas and gives us direc- tion for future growth. But, more importantly, it gives stu- dents a sense of value and ac- complishment .in themselves as musicians." The band enjoyed a well- deserved day of fun at Islands of Adventures in Orlando the next week on March 17. Their next concert will be at Wakulla Middle School on Monday, April 17 at 7:30 p.m. The sev- enth grade band and jazz band will also be performing that evening.

Wallace Community College in Dothan, AL on Mon- day, March 27 as his team- mates, coaches, parents and friends looked on. Wallace is coached by form- er Major League Baseball player Mackey Sasser and Pete Coach- man, another former profes- sional player. Both Sasser and Coachman played college base- ball for Wallace before moving forward with their careers. Wallace is a two year commu- nity college with players from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Ten- nessee, Louisiana and New York. Wakulla Coach Mike Gauger,. in his second season as head coach and fifth season with the baseball program, said Perez has spearheaded a resurgence in the War Eagle program. Perez has led Wakulla with a 4-0 record and an earned run average below one'run per game. Wakulla was 12-2 at the time of the, signing. Coach Gauger said Perez is his "go to guy" who will be called upon to pitch the biggest games. "He has been unbelievable on the mound," said Gauger. Head Off T "He has led us this year and he did last year, too." Perez pitched a few games as a fresh- man before sticking on the var- sity for his sophomore, junior and senior seasons. "He has a good fast ball in the 85 to 86 mile per hour range and a good curve," said Gauger. "He is the ace of our pitching staff." The signing was held near home plate at the War Eagle baseball complex with Andy's relatives attending. His parents, Clay and Melanie Perez and Rusty and Roberta Howell, grandmother Diane Perez, and aunt Tammatha Carney, offered the senior best wishes for the remainder of the 2006 high school season and for the 2006- 2007 college season. Perez said he is excited to have the opportunity to play baseball at the next level. He hopes to either continue his career beyond community col- lege with a four year school or play professionally. He said he hasn't decided on a field of study. Sasser said he watched Perez pitch as a junior and liked what he. saw. Gauger said his ace is having an even better senior season.

The high winds kept most people at home this weekend but some slipped out and a few caught fish. This week high tempera- tures should warm the water temperatures back up after the cold start to the week and this weekend should be fantastic, if the weather cooperates. Scott at Jerry's Bait and Tackle said the only fish he weighed this weekend came from the St. Marks River. Charles Pulley took his wife, Ayono Pulley, fishing and she caught a 14 pound striper. Scott said she was all smiles when he took the picture. Mike Hopkins said all in all fishing was poor last weekend and he saw very few fishermen or fish caught. He talked to one person who caught a bunch of reds and another anglercaught some sheepshead off the sunken barge near the Lanark Reef. A few trout were caught but most were small. A few pompano were caught but not very many. Still no Spanish and no more cobia. I did talk to Phil Tooke out of St. Marks and he said they saw lots of Spanish and bait off buoy 22 last week. The cold probably slowed them down from heading toward shore but by the weekend things may change. Wendell Burton continues to do well with trout fishing near Shell Point using, the Berkley Gulp. One day they'll hit the New Penny and the next will be the Molten Shrimp. Mark and Louise Prance fished Oyster Bay and Louise caught and released a 27 inch red us- ing live shrimp. Capt. Jerry Alexander has been fishing east of the lighthouse and find- ing plenty of fish on the flats. I fished for about two and a half hours on Monday after- noon and caught and released about 25 trout. I caught most of them on a straight jig and grub, but if it wasn't tipped with a small piece of shrimp for the smell they didn't want it. Juanise said 8-year-old Brian Jones was fishing with live shrimp near Carrabelle and he caught a nice red. Thirteen- year-old Byron Sheffield, Jr. was fishing out of Shell Point with live shrimp and he caught and released a 29 inch red. Twig Peckman and crew fished east of the lighthouse and caught about 30 trout and were able to keep 10. They used topwater, jigs and live shrimp. Eddie Hartsfield told Juanise he fished one of the lakes in the refuge and caught some "real big bream" and cat- fish using worms and crickets. It's getting that time of the year when there are going to be a lot of boats on the water, Glass Bottom Tours Resume Due to the dry weather, Wakulla Springs State Park started up the glass bottom boat tours on Tuesday, March 28. The tours leave the dock at noon, 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. The water is clear enough for the tours to operate for the short term. Park officials invite everyone to take advantage of. the opportunity to enjoy the glass bottom boats while they can. For more information, call 224-5950. By GEORGE WEYMOUTH A very strange March we're having. So far in my neck of the county we've had one decent rain and one grass wetter and that's itl Normally, March is the rainiest month of the year, and since "transpiration" the absorption of rain by trees (mostly) and release of the moisture back into the atmosphere has just really started, (now that the trees are leafing out), most of the normal March rains soak the ground and the result is flooding. Not this March the woods and even river bottoms are very dry. Ponds are very low tool Hopefully this very dry spell will soon break, but normally April is one of our driest months, so who knows, perhaps we're in for another record dry spring and early summer, full of horrendous wildfires. Let's hope not! Wildfires are certainly part of bur environment. Our forests, and many plants, literally depend on fires. When I see a section being managed with a control burn I realize there will be some critters fried; there's hardly anyway to avoid such loss. Most animals that perish in a fire are soon recycled by predators like foxes, raccoons, etc., who directly benefit from the fire. Soon, because the area is cleaned of underbrush, dead grass and other debris, more wildlife will move into the burned area than had previously been there, so in the long run, there will be more turkeys, more deer, and eventually more of everything until, in about three to five years, the area will need to be thinned out again with another prescribed fire. The.beauty of a prescribed or controlled burn is the fire is often managed by back burning or burning into the wind. If the wind is out of the west, they will set a number of small fires on the east side of a designated tract and let the fire gradually burn away into the westerly breeze, especially if there are a lot of bushes and brush that must be controlled. Or they may set the fires on the west side and let the wind carry the flames quickly through an area sort of skipping along over the grass tops, etc. A slow fire, like one burning into the wind, gives slow crea- tures more time to flee or burrow into the damp earth, find a hole or water; whereas a flash fire, especially if the wind gets out of hand, can really put the hurt on critters like box and mud turtles or those water turtles on land laying eggs. Before fire management and fire departments/stations, back in "them thar days," most fires occurred in the summer months from lightning. These fires swept uncontrolled through huge areas and were only stopped by rains or rivers, bays, etc. The tire was generally swept by the wind through the windy days and was so intense and covered such an immense area it would create its own weather! Fortunately (unfortunately, according to many naturalists) these "natural" fires are rarely allowed to just burn out. The result is too much underbrush and dead tree accumulation. When there is a fire the area burns too hot and many trees are scorched severely and they die. There is an section of Bradwell Bay Wilderness Area in the Apalachicola National Forest that roasted in the big fires back in '95 (I believe that was the year) because our "Smokey the Bear" motto of stop any wildfire was being enforced too strictly and too much fuel had accumulated! Now burning is recognized as the way to save a forest. Though the Yellowstone National Forest and park fire a decade ago was a tragedy (it seemed then), now, because of new growth and a more varied habitat there's more wildlife and a much healthier forest as a result. Let's just hope we get some rain in the next few weeks or we may be in for some "uncontrolled" fires, and that ain't good! , By CAPT. JODY CAMPBELL so be extremely careful out, there. Some people are gonna break down and ask for a tow. Then there's gonna be that time when you break down offshore and there's nobody to tow you in, or it's late in the afternoon and everyone's headed to shore and there's nobody to give you a tow. Fortunately, Sea Tow is working between Carrabelle and St. Marks so there is some- one to give you a tow. Quite a few insurance policies will pay a certain amount for a tow but if you don't have that type of policy it will cost you an arm and a leg to get towed and the clock starts from the time he leaves the dock until he gets you in. You can purchase their policy for a year at a price that is less than what it cost to tow you for an hour. Also, if you break down and are operating someone else's boat or have rented a boat and break down they will tow you in. It's something to think about if you're on the water a lot. You can go to www.seatow. com for all the details and prices. Remember to leave that float plan with someone and be careful out there.

Thursday Night brought'another one. One of its members. Jack C. Roseriau, was inducted into the Aviation Wall of Fame in an 'impressive ceremony at the Ivan B. Monroe Terminal Avia- tion Museum in the Tallahas- see Regional Airport. To give an idea how prestigious this award is, the only other per- son so honored this year was Colonel William Harold Harp- er, retired US Air Force. ,Following are excerpts of Jack's "reflections" following his induction: "Flying is something I love - it started for me with Lind- berg's 1927 flight. With a lov- ing and understanding wife, Jean, our Piper Cherokee 192FC became a family member in 1968 and became a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary in 1975. "Assigned to Coast Guard Air Station, New Orleans, 2FC now had a purpose to be air- borne, something more than taking the Rosenaus coast-to- coast, to Mexico, Belize, the Caribbean and north from Florida into Michigan's land above-below. "I remember the hundreds of times I've flown out of the Tallahassee Airport to patrol coastal North Florida. To me it was always interesting par- ticularly when flying near Tyndall, Eglin and Hurlburt Air Fields with air traffic passing close overhead. The hundreds of times I've returned safely to the Tallahassee Airport, have been even more remarkable! "Search and Rescue flights can be tedious, frustrating and, finally, satisfying. Visibility and wind conditions are critical; whitecaps make individuals or. even 20 or 30 foot fishing ves- sels difficult or even impos- sible to see. Availability of good data, relative to the miss- ing or lost target, is most im- portant, as is communications. Looking for the vessel report- ing itself 15 miles south of the St. Marks Light and finding it 25 miles southwest of the light well, there is a lot of gulf out there "Flight crews seldom meet or learn about those they helped to rescue they are rou- tinely advised to search an area for a vessel with 'x' number of people aboard.

"My wife, Jean, was my pri- mary observer many years. She is unable to be with us this evening but, of my many other observers, I am pleased to call on the following to acknowl- edge their presence: Marge Jones, Lynne Reese, Sherrie Alverson from Flotilla 13 and Bill and Dawn Kitchens from Flotilla 1-10 At Sneads, FL. Those who have "gone west" include Tom Kinnebrew, Joe Emmons, Eschol Davis, Chuck Alverson, and Don Gilbert. "I retired my auxiliary flights in January 2001 but am still fly- ing weekends with son Rob; he's now got the left seat of our bird. She's still a strong family member 38 years old and still beautiful." The lalque contained por- tions of the following: "Jack C. Rosenau was born in Detroit, and served on ac- tive duty in the Marine Corps from 1940 to 1946. In 1964 he earned his private pilot license in Hawaii. Jack moved his fam- ily, wife Jean and seven chil- dren, to Tallahassee in 1970 and brought with him his Cherokee 140. "In 1974 he joined the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary (a volun- teer organization). Over a span of more than 25 years, Jack flew 550 coastal patrols, includ- ing more than .100 marine en- vironmental protection flights and 60 Search and Rescue mis- sions in support of Coast Guard Air Station New Or- leans. Jack was an invaluable resource, often responding to Search and Rescue cases hours before the Coast Guard aircraft could have arrived on scene." The official beginning of the boating season is this com- ing Saturday, April 1. Both Flo- tilla 13 and Flotilla 12 at St. Marks will have patrols on duty, and watchstanders will be on duty at the CG Auxiliary Station, Shell Point. And now, Flotilla 12 news as furnished by Carolyn Tread- on: Flotilla 12 had a busy week, preparing for Springtime Tal- lahassee and the beginning of the boating season. In the midst of all the festivities, we will host a booth at the event and pass out information to individuals on boating safety. Our members will be rotating in and out throughout the day. Duane and Carolyn Treadon represented the auxiliary this weekend at a community event in Thomasville, GA. They helped Thomasville Land- mark's Incorporated, a non- profit historic preservation or- ganization, rehabilitate three homes. The historic homes are owned by their residents and were in need of repair. The resi- dents were not able to com- plete the work themselves due to financial constraints, age and disabiling conditions. The work has been ongoing for sev- eral months, and the weekend was a time to have the com- munity participate and com- plete the major work. This is an annual event for the com- munity.

The driver of a Waste Management truck lost control of the vehicle, left the roadway and overturned. The driver was trapped inside the wrecked truck. The Sopchoppy and Craw- fordville fire rescue depart- ments also responded to the accident site to provide assis- tance extricating the driver. The firefighters removed the driver from the wrecked truck using jaws-of-life tools and a wench mounted on one of the Smith Creek fire trucks. The driver was then airlifted to the" hospital in Tallahassee. Last week, the county's vol- unteer fire rescue departments responded to one brush fire, two vehicle fires, one miscel- laneous fire, nine vehicle acci- dents and 15 medical emergen- cies. Did you know that many of the county's volunteer fire- fighters are trained medical first responders? If you were to call 911 re- questing EMS due to a medi- cal emergency, a volunteer first responder would dispatch to your home as well as EMS per- sonnel. And, you might be sur- prised to learn that the first responder was one of your neighbors! These first respond- ers are trained in basic life sup- port techniques such as CPR, bleeding control and other ba- sic non-invasive medical tech- niques. Some even carry auto- matic external defibrillators for use in the event of a cardiac arrest emergency. It is important for the county to have a first re- spbnder program as an opera- tional arm of the volunteer fire departments for a number of reasons. The most important GEO-ENERGY Since 1985 CERTIFIED DEALER FOR: p ; MacCLEAN WATER TREATMENT. SYSTEMS LEASING SALES & SERVICE COMPLETE LINE OF EQUIPMENT WE SOLVE JUST ABOUT ANY WATER PROBLEM 926-8116 Keep WaulCUa County Beautiful is due to the fact that it may take an ambulance with EMS personnel several minutes to arrive at the location of a medi- cal emergency at some of the more remote locations through- out the county. Further, an EMS ambulance could, on occasion, be delayed due to being in the process of transporting a patient to a hos- pital in Tallahassee. But, be- cause volunteer firefighter and first responders live in most areas of the county, a volunteer first responder can often quickly arrive on the scene of a medical emergency and, if needed, perform life-sustain- ing functions until EMS arrives. Over the past several years, the county's first responders have been directly responsible for saving a number of lives. We are indeed fortunate to have dedicated residents who are willing to be trained and serve as medical first respond- ers in order to provide their neighbors and others with the best possible emergency medi-' cal services. Although the first responder program is directly associated with the county's local volun- teer fire departments, the county's EMS personnel train and certify the first respond- ers and administer the pro- gram. The county's volunteer fire departments receive no public funding to support this vital program. As a result, funds needed to buy equipment and supplies are generated by the departments' fundraising events. So, if your local volun- teer firefighters and first re- sponders are having a fund- raising event, please support them. Money earned goes for a most worthwhile purpose! Anyone interested in be- coming a volunteer firefighter or medical first responder should contact their local vol- unteer fire chief.

This is my community and I have concern for the com- munity. I will still live here." The most pressing issues facing the county are the ex- pansion of the sewage treat- ment plant and the expansion of sewer lines to serve environ- mentally sensitive areas such as Wakulla Gardens. At a time when Wakulla County officials are working with the City of Tallahassee and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to protect Wakulla Springs, the county must do its part to ad- dress environmental concerns within its borders, he said. "I've spent a lot of time in. Wakulla Gardens," said Bar- wick. "We need to get DEP on our side to help us get sewer funding from the state." Bar- HARTUNG AND NOBLIN, INC. REALTORS wick has been meeting with officials from Eutah Utilities to put together a funding package and accompanying information to present to state lawmakers. County officials hope to build sewage treatment lines in the Wakulla Gardens area to keep an enormous number of septic tanks from being permit- ted in an area where 5,000 lots are platted. "As Commissioner (Ed) Brimner said, we need to stop the bleeding and save the rest of the area," Barwick con- cluded. With sewer constructed in the community in the future, Wakulla County officials will have to wrestle with the issue of how much density should be allowed. The county's comp plan allows higher density in areas served by sewage treat- ment lines. Your Perfect Partner for Real Estate!

P* 40 w I - r 0 Page 22-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, March 30, 2006 DEP Permit Grants Continued from Page 1 lowed nearly a month of nego- tiations between the county and city to upgrade the permit- ted level of treatment and take other measures to reduce pol- lutants into the aquifer feeding the spring." County officials believe the sprayfield and agricultural op- eration have coincided with a "threefold increase of nutrients in the springs water, resulting in a drastic increase in nuisance aquatic plants and algae and a loss of aquatic habitat, fish and wildlife." "We remain committed to clean up Wakulla Springs," said Commissioner Ed Brimner. "But without higher levels of treatment and nitrogen re- moval, it is doubtful that that will happen." Commissioners have pledged to do their part to clean up sur- face and groundwater leading to Wakulla Springs through higher performance septic tanks, sewage installation at environmentally sensitive sub- divisions, and wetland and sink-hole protection ordinanc- es. "Springs in Florida require crystal clear, nutrient free wa- ter to thrive and survive," said Paul Johnson, environmental consultant for the county's ne- gotiation team. "Without going to Advanced Wastewater Treat- ment (AWT) standards, these springs will probably not make it." AWT removes a significant amount of nitrogen and is available throughout the state, added Johnson. "We look forward to work- ing out our differences with the city through the administrative hearing process," said Mowrey. The petition to intervene in the permit will not only be joined by citizens and the Florida Wildlife Federation but, "Attor- ney General Charlie Crist has also shown a keen interest in the case,", the attorney said. City of Tallahassee spokes- person Michelle Bono said the city has the same commitment to protecting Wakulla Springs as the county does. The city initiated a $600,000 scientific study with the U.S. Geological Survey to monitor groundwa- ter near the Southeast Farm. A dye tracer report is under- way but the results of the sur- vey will not be available until the end of the year, she said. The city has comniitted $74 million to upgrade the sewage treatment operation including a $2 million biosolid dryer that converts treated material to residential fertilizer. Tallahas- see officials said they are com- mitted to reducing the nutrient discharge by 30 percent. But the city wants to have scientific data from the study before making any decisions. "We have agreed to shorten the length of the permit from five to three years," said Talla- hassee Water Utilities General Manager Jim Oskowis. "We have committed well over $100 million and we're working re- ally hard to reach the same goals." Tallahassee officials refused to agree to a county request to reopen the permit process through an interlocal agree- ment if the dye tracer study links the nitrogen discharge to the city sewage plants. "We are at an impasse," said Mowrey. He asked the board for the new vote to file the petition to make it "very clear in the record." Brimner said that the protec- tion of Wakulla Springs is criti- cal to the economic welfare of the county eco-tourism. He added that commissioners have not approved subdivi- sions in the past two years without sewage treatment or Advanced Wastewater Treat- ment. "We're,asking the city to step up to the plate and match us," he said. The Friends of Wakulla Springs State Park hope the board action is the "beginning of the restoration of Wakulla Springs." "Most scientists agree that the majority of the data points to the sprayfield," said Della Parker-Hanson, of the Friends group. "In fact there is no evi- dence to the contrary. The time to do something is now." "The Friends have tried to raise the bar on this issue," said Friends member Crystal Wa- koa: "This spring is more than just the major tourist attraction and economic stimulus for the area." "While nitrogen exiting at Wakulla Springs is contributed from many sources, the largest single source of regionally pro- duced nitrogen in groundwater overwhelmingly appears to be at Southeast Sprayfield and re- lated farming operations," said Jack Leppert, a founding mem- ber of the Friends." And an- other source is the city's South- west Sprayfield, residuals dumping and their farm cattle grazing and fertilizer supple- ment practices." "We are pleased at the level of solidarity between Wakulla County Commissioners, the citizens and the Wildlife Fed- eration to strengthen the per- mit," continued Leppert. "We look forward to seeing Wakulla Springs in good health again." Manley Fuller, President of the Florida Wildlife Federation, said "We can no longer take for granted that our springs are the pristine, clear waters that we remember. They are threat- ened." "All of us want the same thing," said Commissioner Brian Langston. "I think we'll get there some time." "The sprayfield was built 20 years ago and no one had any intention of damaging the groundwater," said Commis- sioner Henry Vause. "But it is happening." Attorney Ron Mowrey said he did not know how long or how expensive the administra- tive hearing process would be. But Leppert said the appeal "will never go to hearings." He added. "The evidence is overwhelming. We have the science available today and ways to address the problems. The solutions are at hand. It's ,appeal) very winnable."

Harrison said the growth in the county has forced the fire departments to seek "quints." A quint is a fire truck that per- forms five major functions and has an aerial ladder, ground ladders, a pump, booster tank and carries hose. Crawfordville and Wakulla Station are seek- ing quints. Harrison added that the quints make it easier for firefighters to battle fires at higher structures. The other equipment in the grant proposal includes self contained breathing apparatus, protective bunker clothing, thermal imaging cameras, per- sonal gas monitors, extrication equipment, trauma bags ana confined space rescue equip- ment. The Crawfordville and Wa- kulla Station fire departments are seeking the largest chunk of the funding at $650,000 each. Wakulla County also- has vol- unteer fire departments in St. Marks, Apalachee Bay and Smith Creek. County commissioners au- thorized the grant applications without objections.
