If it passes, the bill could bring in more than $525,000 to Wakulla County. The Florida Senate Ways and Means Committee held a meeting on the bill, SB 1612, on Monday, April 24, and passed it without dissent. A compan- ion bill in the state House, HB 0293, was given a second read- ing on Tuesday, April 25. The bill deals with how state sales tax revenues col- lected by the Department of Revenue are distributed. An equal share of money some $446,000 a year goes to each county in the state. Some eight percent of the sales tax revenues goes to the Local Government Half-cent Inside This Week Almanac.................. Page 13 Church.....................Page 4 Classifieds...............

Some $16 million is estimated to be available during the 2006- 07 budget year for distribution to counties designated as finan- cially constrained, which are defined as counties with a population of 65,000 or less and one mill of local property tax is less than $4 million. The revised, language has the effect of adding Wakulla County to the list of fiscally constrained counties. Wakulla's population, ac- cording to the state, is put at 25,485 and the 2005 value of one mill is $1.67 million.

On the FCAT writ- ing portion, WHS 10th graders outscored the state average with a combined 4.0 to the state's 3.9 on a scale of zero to 6.0. Only students in grade four, eight and 10 take the FCAT writing test. "Even more impressive was the high number of students who scored a perfect 6.0 on their essay graded by the state.

Smith Memorial Regatta Saturday, April 22 but, once the sky cleared a few hours' later, boats and sail- boarders were off and racing. The American Cancer Soci- ety fundraiser usually brings in approximately $16,000. One of the organizers said the regatta was a huge success despite the rain on the first day and the fact that many individuals who contribute to the cause have been hit hard in the past year donating to help Hurricane Dennis victims through the Red Cross and Salvation Army. The regatta gives boaters with all sizes of vessels an op- portunity to sail the Shell Point area course. The passing storm gave just enough wind to the sailors and dinner was held as scheduled on Saturday night.

Colleen Skipper has returned to county employ- ment. On Tuesday, April 11, Skipper replaced veteran coun- ty employee Cheryl Blose in the county administrator's office. Blose retired after serving the county in four different de- cades. Skipper was hired to handle 'human resources and budget and finance for Wakulla County Administrator Parrish Barwick. Skipper has been getting her feet wet with Blose assisting her with training two days each week. 'Her first month on the job has thrown "a little bit of ev- erything" at her. Budget season will soon dominate her time but she has been busy taking employment applications for open county positions, working with road and bridge issues, filing ordinances and resolu- tions and checking web sites. "I love it. I really do," said Skipper of her new position. "I enjoy the comfort of feeling needed in the workplace again. I enjoy working with people." Skipper was employed by the Wakulla County School District for five years where she served as a teaching assistant and paraprofessional helping visually impaired students. In April of 1985, she joined the property appraiser's office and served the late Ronnie Kilgore until his death. She worked for Gov. Jeb Bush's ap- pointment, Property Appraiser Anne Ahrendt, until February 2006. Skipper was a deputy clerk for Kilgore. She assisted former county employee Jackie Jetton, beginning in 1999, with the budget, office purchasing and payroll on both spreadsheets and.on computer once Kilgore Please turn to Page 20 Campaign Ends With ACS Relay The first of two American Cancer Society fundiaisers last weekend was held Friday, April 21 and Saturday, April 22 at the Wakulla High School tfack. The Stephen C. Smith Regatta was held the rest of the weekend at Shell Point. Chairperson Alice Stokley said the all-night Relay For Life event had a "terrific turnout" and the year of fundraising is expected to exceed the $65,000 goal. Stokley said the gross collections for the year may top $77,000. Members of the Gaby fam- ily led the opening Survivors Lap Walk in memory of the late Billy W. Gaby. Cancer survivors Queen Webster and Susan Payne Turner carried the ban- ner as the walkers took the first of many journeys around the track. "We have far exceeded our goals with the number of teams, corporate sponsorships and luminaria," said Stokley. She added that the number of cancer survivors has increased each year. "I was amazed at how well everything went. We had to suspend the walking at 9 a.m. on Saturday due to the storm coming through." Stokley said the event will be held again next April with Please turn to Page 20 Photo by Sammy Tedder Tornado Gets Ready To Jump U.S. Highway 319 On April 22 Tornado Slashes Over County Wakulla County residents in the northern section of Craw- fordville are beginning to see a trend they can do without. On Saturday, April 22, passing thunderstorms spawned a small tornado that followed a similar path to a tornado that struck Crawfordville in early December. Fortunately, the April 22 tor- nado did not create as much damage as the December storm. There were no injuries and much of the destruction was to trees and powerlines, according to Wakulla County Emergency Management Director Joe Blan- chard. Crawfordville resident Jeff True, who recently moved from Vermont, was working at Good- will in Crawfordville as the storm formed. "It was raining, windy and. got real cold," said True. "Then it started twirling in the sky." The tornado made its way north and east and touched down near Goodwill and the Wal-Mart site after 5:15 p.m., said True. Wakulla County Sheriff's Office officials limited traffic on U.S. Highway 319 until the storm path could be deter- mined. The tornado moved through the area quickly, said Captain Jim Griner of the sheriff's office. True said the power went out as the storm made its way past Goodwill and aimed for Leon County. Residents of the East Ivan Road area also re- ported some property damage.

Wak- ulla Gardens will be my pri- mary topic of discussion, al- though I will compare it to the slight thorn in my side in re- gard to taxpayers' waste. I would estimate from my planning experience (15 years), that Wakulla Gardens is one of the fastest growing residential areas in great need of storm water solutions, paving solu- Stions and sewer infrastructure. Ponder this: There is a schedule of roads to be paved in this county. The one where I live is at the very top of that List. However, the county needs right-of-way (ROW) from pri- vate citizens along a half mile before they can proceed. The county Land Development Code was conveniently chang- ed (from 60 feet to 40 feet) for purposes of paving where ROW could not be acquired. Due to the flooding nature of the many properties along this road, it is necessary for the County to actually have more than 40 feet to accommodate Sthe volume of water, especially when impervious material is placed. The county has been put "on notice" in regard to the road paving adjacent to my property, but they still proceed without providing me with a complete set of engineered drawings that take into account the amount of water that is generated in this open basin system of the Mill Bay watershed as well as the excessive speeding that occurs by vehicles. And I also want to state, for the record, that the county needs the permission of the federal government who man- ages the National Forest to pave . a section of this road. To this date, even before they have ire- . ceived this permission, it would appear that the road Letters department, under the author- ity of Chairman Maxie Lawhon, has violated federal law (Sec- tion 106 of the National His- toric Preservation Act of 1966 as amended) by the additional taking of thousands of feet of National Forest without "offi- cial written permission." I found that the Forest Ser- vice directed Mr. Merritt (of the road department) and the county commission to not pro- ceed until they are granted an easement for paving. But on three separate occasions in the last few months they have graded excessively to "widen only this section of the Na- tional Forest," appearing to have broken the law (before and after pictures and video are documented). I investigated the tax rolls for 2005, and I queried 2,948 listings in Wakulla Gardens. Of these listings, 603 entries had much more than one lot to- gether. Within these 603 en- tries, a possible 1,397 addi- tional homesites can occur (one house per lot). Some of the 603 entries had homes, some didn't. But if they did, they only accounted for one dwelling. Sif you take the 2,948 listings, subtract the 603, that leaves 2,345 potential single family!/ mobilee': hm'ie lots. Add back the 1,397 additional lots from the 603 entries and that gives you a total amount of 3,742 home-sites for my research of Wakulla Gardens. It is true that some builders used to (or may still) build on one and a half to two lots to- gether because that was the rule before water lines were installed. Now you only need one lot to construct a home. In this data, it appears that there were only 677 existing single family/mobile homes Completed before Jan. 1, 2005- 369 listed homestead exemp- tion, another 208 did not. It seemed that the remaining list- ings were still vacant or have not been built upon since Jan. 1, 2005. Since the data is not yet available for the tax rolls for 2006, 1 didn't find an exact number on how many homes have been built to this date. But, the most important key is that these original 2,948 list- ings brought in $29,996,612 to- tal taxable value to Wakulla County in 2005, which trans- lated to $510,152 real dollars to the budget. Just think of all that additional money when the area is fully developed. Now take "'just the home/ land owners" for the proposed paved portion of Lawhon Mill Road. Out of the total listed 53 parcels, 27 are homesteaded and 26 are not. The total tax- able value of these 53 parcels was $1,272,394 for 2005 which translates into a whopping $21,639 real dollars to the bud- get. That's because most of the land is large tracts of agricul- ture or forested/wetland prop- erties which don't contribute much to the budget. So, who do you think de- serves more attention from our local government out of this little research project? Those who pay a majority who need the most help or those who stand to gain the most profit? Just think, paving the way for a ll thse, big "tacts of aigricul- ture/forested land. It is true that I could make tons of money because my property value will increase sig- nificantly and I could break it all up into small tracts like ev- eryone else and sell it off to the highest bidder. So why bring all this attention to my- self? Because Wakulla County residents need to know what is going on "behind the scenes" of their local government poli- tics. If you want more informa- tion and additional facts on what's going on in this area of your county, you can come visit with me at any county meet- ing or come and watch and judge for yourself. I encourage all to take a drive to different parts of the county. For example, drive around the western area of U.S. Hwy. 319 below Harvey Mill Road and above U.S. Hwy. 319 (Sopchoppy Hwy.) and the Lake Ellen area. See where your pav- ing dollars are going. Then get on the web site of the property appraiser's office and see who owns what and where. Also, look at PP06-03 of the recent planning and zoning proposals and see that it just had the road paved adjacent to all that land that's for sale Then look at the land that's exchanging hands in the same general area. I've been told that it will cost over $400,000 to pave three miles of Lawhon Mill and that is a very low estimate. You can call and ask your commission- ers how much it cost to pave Mathers Farm Rd., Frank Jones Rd., Friendship Church Lane and some of the other little ones south of Lake Ellen. That adds up to about the same dis- tance as mine. Ponder this information now and then call your county commissioner. Better yet, call all five of them Ask them to spend all that money that's proposed to pave Lawhon Mill Rd. in the Wakulla Gardens area instead and fix the REAL problems in this county for the majority of who needs it-not where the taxes bring in only $21,639. I can assure your readers that what they hold dearest to their hearts in their "sense of place" of where they live is for- ever changing right in front of their eyes. Make your next vote count if you want a change! The county has no regard for their own "conflicts of interest" when they are accused by the public, but yet there's no hesi- tatio'i 'to accuse'" constituents ' when they want to bully their underhanded decisions on those who stand in their way to promote their own agenda. It seems they will stop at noth- ing to pave part of this road. You'd be interested to see my further research on which county contractors and their business partners, as well as which elected officials and their extended families and close friends, stand to gain once this road is paved. I urge you to get involved and ask for the money to be spent else- where. Shanon Harvey Crawfordville Editor, The News: After reading your article "Board Battles Over GF&A Resolution" I felt compelled to contact the Wakulla County Commissioners. Unfortunately, the address links on My- Wakulla.com were not working and all my e-mails, including the one to the webmaster were returned as undeliverable, The following is the text'of my e-mail: As an avid bicyclist, I want to add my two cents to the ar- ticle in this week's Wakulla News. Although we do use the bathrooms, we also spend money enjoying the local busi- nesses while traveling through. We have biked all over the country, renting bicycles when ours were not available, buy- ing food and souvenirs when- ever possible. We have enjoyed biking into Sopchoppy to enjoy lunch at Backwoods and frequently have lunch at Posey's in Pana- cea while on a ride. We have eaten at Riverside at St. Mark's while riding the St. Mark's trail there. Bicyclists, as a group, always spend money preferring a good meal to a dry energy bar anytime! Please encourage the completion of this valuable asset to our community P.S. Saying "I want you to take it back to them and tell them to shove it" shows a se- rious lack of understanding of the needs of your community! As a relative newcomer to this area, I was completely as- tonished at the attitude of Commissioner Lawhon. Hope- fully his attitude is not an in- dication of the majority of oth- ers in this county.

Mr. Roddenberry made the comment that I was invited to attend a Wetlands Committee meeting but did not attend the meeting. The fact of the mat- ter is that I never received an invitation to either attend or address the Wetlands Commit- tee. .I called Mr. Roddenberry, who promptly returned my phone call, and he indicated other individuals did not ap- pear as well, and that he did not mean to single me out.

Accord- Big Bend Hospice GF&A, Then Seaboard Ran Railroad Until 1941 Editor, The News: The GF&A Railroad came in 1897, but sometime in the early 1900s the Seaboard Air Line Railroad acquired ownership and operated it from Carrabelle to Tallahassee until early 1941 when they shut it down. It sat idle from then until early 1942 when the U.S. Army took it over. They brought in crews to make repairs and get it in shape to handle lots of heavy traffic for the construc- tion of Camp Gordon Johnston. On some days, eight to 10 trains hauled construction ma- terials and equipment (from trucks to tanks), landing craft, and troops when a division came in-like the 28th or 4th- each with approximately 12,000 men. It would take about a week to move all these men and equipment. I grew up alongside the tracks in Arran, and it was al- ways Seaboard Air Line. It would leave Carrabelle in the morning, come through Arran at noon every day except Sun- day on its way to Tallahassee, and then come back at 3 p.m. on its way to Carrabelle where it would spend the night. It pulled one passenger coach on the tail end and freight cars in the middle. It hauled cross ties, turpentine and lumber and a few passen- gers. I rode it one time from Arran to Sopchoppy. Mr. Roy Rehwinkel would come from Crawfordville two or three times a week to pick up supplies for his store, and Mr. Dispenette would pick up the mail for Crawfordville. Arran had its own post office, I remember Chevrolet cars being unloaded from boxcars for Mr. Ira Raker's Crawfordville dealership. I never heard the railroad referred to as "Gopher, Frog & Alligator" until about 10 years ago. I heard that some of the people in Sopchoppy who planned to restore the old de- pot hung that phrase on it. My father and brothers always said GF&A. There are not many people left who know this, but a few are Oleta Lawhon, Jessie Nazworth and Ernest Spears (who lives on Seaboard Drive).

The meeting, held Tuesday, April 18 at the Wakulla Wel- come Center in Panacea, was much calmer than the last meeting to discuss such a dis- trict back in February when the community turned up en- raged, fueled by rumors that the overlay district was some conspiracy to either create an unelected bureaucracy that could tell people what color to paint their houses and order them to clean up their yards, or else a scheme designed to enrich developers. Calmed in February by county Grants Coordinator Pam Portwood, who assured resi- dents that no such nefarious plan was afoot, residents prom- ised to attend later meetings to talk about the issue. At the most recent meeting, consultants with the Kimley- Horn and Associates firm, which is working on the Big Bend Scenic Byway project, gave an overview of Panacea visioning and reported on what an overlay district can do. Panacea has already received a designation as a Waterfront Florida community, which is a program to preserve the state's traditional working water- fronts. After years of work and polls of residents, the goal in Panacea has been to preserve the community and its charac- ter as a fishing village. An overlay district can cre- ate rules intended to preserve the historic nature of a commu- nity. For example, the fishing village of Cortez has regula- tions to restrict the waterfront to fish houses, boatworks, res- taurants and homes, prohibits buildings more than two sto- ries within the flood zone, and allows and even encourages fishermen to work on their boats and store their gear at their homes, Some people at the meeting were interested iri that, and asked if fishermen from Cortez might be able to speak at a fu- ture meeting on how the spe- cial overlay district has ben- efited their community. It was mentioned at the past meeting that the goal of the Panacea overlay district had been specifically to pursue grant money for sidewalks, street lighting and benches. At the most recent meeting, residents expressed concern about keeping developers away from the waterfront, about con- dos and commercial develop- ment coming in and ruining the small town feel of the place as many felt has hap- pened to Carrabelle. It was stressed repeatedly that short of incorporating Panacea as a town an overlay district would be a means for the residents to have their say about what their community should be like, and a way to stand up to the Wakulla County Commission. Some at the meeting indi- cated they were skeptical that there was anything they could do to stand in the way of Adjustments Can Be Made Wakulla County Property Appraiser Anne Ahrendt said that any property owner who sustained structural damage as a result of the Saturday, April 22 tornado in Crawfordville should call her office. Adjustments for damaged property can be made on the 2007 tax roll. For more informa- tion or to report damage, call the property appraiser's office at 926-0500. WA .1 V 9... IsIIIII LL iI county commissioners and the onslaught of development. Some, like Bonnie Holub of the Wakulla Tourist Develop- ment Council, said generating rules. for what a community wants to look like and be through an overlay district gives developers a chance to do the right thing. Without such knowledge, she said, builders simply do things the way they always have because they haven't been told what a com- munity really wants. Resident John Probert was Any 5 Items With This Sticker curious about whether such a district would "have teeth" to enforce what it wants. On the other side, some resi- dents felt an overlay district would create another layer of regulations that they didn't want. Former County Commis- sioner Burl Vaughn warned residents to "be very careful because there's a group of people who get up to all kinds of corrupt crap." A committee for an overlay district could potentially turn out to be just another group operating out of "dirty, rotten, filthy politics," Vaughn said.

YOUR NEWSPAPER PEOPLE S SERVING B. PEOPLE Parents Must Intervene Early In A Child's Life By MARJ LAW President, Rotary Club of Wakulla County Chris Duggan, the Executive Director of the Early Learning Coalition, spoke at Rotary here in Wakulla County last Thurs- day. The coalition is a non- profit agency which began in 2002 in Gadsden and Leon counties. Now, the coalition services Gadsden, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty, Madison, Taylor and Wakulla counties. It's important to catch our children while they are very young, because 90 percent of the brain develops before they are 5. When we are able to in- tervene and help, we are en- suring that children are ready for their school experience. Classroom productivity is im- proved, grade repetition is re- duced, and the number of chil- dren enrolled in special edu- cation classes can be reduced. When we intervene early in a child's life, we know we save in future intervention costs. Chris said that what we need in Wakulla County are I the building and refurbishing of decks, swings, and play equipment. They need both indoor and outdoor educa- tional centers. They need the funds it will take for buildings and improvement projects. Right now, in Wakulla Coun- ty, we have 251 children in early learning programs. There are 19 early learning providers. Childcare assistance can mean a tremendous difference in the budget of a family. Good childcare is very expensive, and can take up most of a young family's budget. The Early Learning Center can take care of most of this burden, so that the family can spend its budget on food and clothing and other essentials. Of course, we in Wakulla County are very concerned about our children. The Rotary Club will look at the remain- der of its budget for this year and will do what it is able to assist in the Early Learning Center.

The cleanup was a part of Ms. Bartnick's marine science class and also a 4-H service project. We, at Keep Wakulla County Beautiful, joined to assist them, as part of our mission is to keep our county free of lit- ter. March, April and May are designated months of the Great American Cleanup for all Keep America Beautiful affili- ates. Students poured out of their bus at 9:30 a.m. and swarmed into a happy group under the new gazebo. They were quick to tell us how they learned that litter is a problem to the small animals and birds at the beach. They discussed the different Ta Wavers By HEIDE CLIFTON President, CHAT of Wakulla, Inc. www.chatofwakulla.org For the first time in nine years our rose sale experienced extreme weather problems. Not only did it rain and thun- der all morning, in the after- noon a tornado passed over Highway 319, just one mile north of the new Wal-Mart Store. However, we had a very successful day and made $3,200 on Saturday. The die-hard lovers of old garden roses know quite well that their favorite variety might not be available unless they show up early. Armed with umbrellas and raincoats, the customers went about their business of picking the rose bushes they were looking for. We were open again on Sun- day for a few hours and sold another $450 worth of plants. There are some roses left over and Susan Harp will no doubt sell them during the next few weeks. Susan takes all the roses that are not sold to her house because we need the room at my place for next year's production. Gail, the animal shelter di- rector, had seen to it that we had the tent and the tables set up just right. A great group of volunteers showed up early in the morning to prepare for their chores of cashiering, help- ing the folks carry their pur- chased roses and other plants to the cars and being helpful in general. This is normally a fun event. Unfortunately, this time we all were drenched from the rain. The thought of helping the Wakulla Animal Shelter ani- mals got us through the day, CHAT would like to thank Iris Anne's who set up a booth to sell animal related items to the crowd. We also would like to thank Brandy and Ted, the owners of Just Fruits and Ex- otics. They let CHAT sell their plants and allow us a percent- age of the receipts. We also thank the public for coming out and purchasing roses to make a few bucks for the dogs and cats at the shel- ter. I am taking a few weeks off and then the production of new roses for 2007 will start. Please, have your animals spayed/neutered. For help and information, please call the Wakulla Animal Shelter at 926- 0890. Consider adopting a pet from the animal shelter. We have some great animals that deserve a good home. Identity Theft Seminar To Protect Residents Last year 10 million people were victims of identity theft. This year the number will be larger and next year it is esti- mated one of every nine peo- ple will be victims. The rapid increase of this crime is be- cause it is almost foolproof, as only one out of every 100 per- petrators is ever apprehended. To provide a public service there will be a one hour semi- nar on identity theft conducted at the Wakulla Presbyterian Church (just east of the high school on Hwy. 98) on Thurs- day, May 4 at 7 p.m. Speakers will be Jerry Kinder and Detec- tive Jack Schliep, with the Wakulla County Sheriff's Of- fice.

Despite rainy conditions, more than 7,500 participants spent several hours walking around the pond. The South- wood walk is an annual event. Thompson said his Wakulla supporters are planning addi- tional fundraising events this summer. be in attendance. The seminar will cover: 1. The 12 ways your identity can be stolen. 2. The 10 things you can do to protect yourself. 3. The seven things you should immediately do if you become a victim. Again, the seminar is open to the public and, as everyone is a potential victim, atten- dance is urged and we hope to see you there.

Then they formed into three groups. Mothers Holly Porter and Michelle Adamski helped to guide the children as they donned gloves and collected litter bags. Ms. Bradshaw chal- lenged the children on a scav- enger hunt to find bottle caps, cups, fast food bags, cans, plas- tic bottles, fishing line and candy wrappers. After about an hour and a half of cleaning up the beach, the students came back to the gazebo with their filled bags. They had located everything on the list, except at least one of the groups was unable to find fishing line. A dead fish and a dead pelican were the saddest finds. The funniest piece of trash was a large bra. The most dan- gerous pieces of trash was an electric knife. The most un- usual find was some kind of an electric box with wires hanging out of it. They put the trash in a dumpster near the gazebo. Next, we passed out long pickers to each student. Since cigarette butts are the number one most numerous type of trash, we decided to stress this point. We made a hand/eye coordination game out of pick- ing up each butt with these pickers, putting the butts into bags held by the adults, then seeing which group found the most butts. They had five min- utes to find and pick up butts. The children really enjoyed doing this. They quickly real- ized that a bag of butts smells bad and a bag of butts can hold a lot of butts! Finally, the children ate lunch. I asked Ms. Barnick what part of the class the chil- dren liked the most. "They are very interested in how they can protect the ani- mals," she responded. Ms. Bradshow thinks field trips like this really drive home the importance of what the students learn. "It's one thing to teach in the classroom," she said. "It's another to do it hands-on. That's the way the children learn the best." We at DWCB were delighted to work with Ms. Bradshaw and Ms. Bartnick. Capitol City Bank, Rascal Auto Sales, and Winn-Dixie offered to fund the event, from transportation to food. We really appreciate the business people who provided funding we need to give our students events to remember.

We finally got that much needed rain but could have done without all of that thunder and lightning. Those of you who have pets know what I am talking about. I still have my mom's little poodle and she goes spastic at the first roll of thunder. She shakes so bad I sometimes look for all of her fur to fall off. Of course my cat, Sophie, being the superior breed, looks at her like she's crazy. Nothing bothers Sophie except me be- ing late feeding her. She only weights 4 1/2 pounds but she really has a mouth on her. My friends says she gets it honest. Wonder what that's all about? Listen up people Betty Smith and friends are having their annual plant and yard sale this coming Saturday and Sunday. Saturday hours are 10 a.m. until and Sunday hours are 12 noon until. Betty really has a green thumb and can grow anything. She has the most unusual flowers and plants in her yard. Her house is right on the main road in St. Marks. You can't miss it if you keep look- ing to your right after you pass Shell Island Road. The only thing I am still growing is wrinkles and weeds.

The 8-5 win over Arnold was the third victory of the year against the Bay County rival. Wakulla beat Arnold 11-1 and 17-0 in the regular season. Godby had two victories a- gainst Wakulla during the regu- lar season including a game on the Friday before spring break where the Lady Cougars ended the game early due to the 10 run mercy rule. But Godby could not beat Wakulla when it was most im- portant. The Lady War Eagles won 13-8 to host the first round of the state playoffs Tuesday, April 25 against Pensacola Escambia. If Wakulla beats Escambia on April 25, the team will ad- vance to play the winner of the Jacksonville Bishop Kenny-Or- ange Park Ridgeview game Fri- day, April 28 in Medart. Arnold advanced from the first round of the tournament with a 12-0 win against Talla- hassee Rickards, Wakulla had a first round bye along with Godby. East Gadsden topped Panama City Bay 13-9 to ad- vance to play Godby. Dana Roloff started on the mound for Wakulla and pitched three innings. She gave up two hits, but Coach Graham said she was having trouble with her control and going deep into the count on each batter. Michelle Taylor pitched four innings of relief and gave up four hits and had a strikeout. "I thought Arnold outplayed us," said Coach Graham. "I told their coach that after the game. We were trailing 5-4 and were down to our last six outs be- fore we exploded for four runs." Arnold took a 1-0 lead be- fore Wakulla answered with four runs in the third inning. Arnold took the lead after scor- ing in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. But Wakulla had another four run inning in its arsenal to eliminate Arnold. Taylor improved to 8-4 as the winning pitcher. Taylor was 2-3 at the plate with two runs scored, two RBIs and a double. Lindsey Bolin was 2-3 with a run scored and an RBI. Hannah Lovestrand was 2-3 with two runs scored and a double. Turelle Farmer was 1-2 with a run scored and an RBI. Ashley Delong and Kaitlin Gallamore each had hits. Galla- more, Lovestrand and Bolin combined three hits with a Brianna Fordham walk, and Taylor reached on an error to produce the winning margin for Wakulla. "Arnold has disciplined bat- ters and they put the bat on the ball," said Graham. "We were able to get ourselves out of trouble." If the Wakulla girls seemed a little down playing Arnold, the squad was fired up with the opportunity to beat Godby af- ter an embarrassing loss before the spring break. "It was a pride game," said the coach. "I told them we could hit (Godby pitcher) Katie Mueller and we got to her." The victory wasn't easy for Wakulla as WHS was up 7-0 before Godby made a come- back with four-run innings in the fifth and sixth. Godby closed the gap to 9-8 after six innings before Wakulla put the game away with four runs in the top of the seventh inning. Wakulla made some errors Football Coach Klees Announces New Slate New Wakulla War Eagle football coach Scott Klees will have a familiar look across the field in the fall in his first cam- paign as head coach.

Other Wakulla lifters who qualified for state included Mookie Forbes at 119, Travis Williams at 139, Nichols Web- ster at 154 and Kendrick Gavin at heavyweight. Scott Klees and J.D. Jones are the coaches. that hurt, but Taylor was able to keep Godby off balance un- til the Lady War Eagles found their offensive stroke. The sus- pense of the game was ex- tended late in the contest when the lights went out and the game was delayed for about 30 minutes. Hannah Lovestrand made the first out of the seventh in- ning before the lights went out. When they came back on, the Wakulla bats took over. Taylor started off with a hit and was followed by Bolin, Delong and Roloff getting hits. Godby helped out by giving up a walk and an error in the in- ning. Roloff's double was the final blow of the frame. Roloff was 3-4 with three doubles, three RBIs and a run scored. Bolin was 2-3 with two runs scored. Kaitlin Gallamore had two hits including a dou- ble, two RBIs and a run scored. Hannah Lovestrand was 2-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Brianna Fordham was 2-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. Karlyn Scott was 2-4 with a run scored. Ashley Delong was 2-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. Michelle Taylor was 1-4 with a run scored and Turelle Farmer was 1-5 with two runs scored and an RBI. Taylor pitched a complete game and gave up eight hits. Only six of the eight runs were earned. She had four walks and two strikeouts and improved to 9-4 on the season. "Playing Pensacola Escam- bia will be a challenge, but I think we're up to it," said Coach Graham. Escambia has been ranked most of the year and is 26-2. Wakulla is 18-9. All of the nine losses for Wakulla have come against ranked teams. The losses came against Lin- coln, North Florida Christian, Godby, Wewahitchka, McKeel Academy and Chiles.

Both Wakulla teams placed third out of the eight teams that competed in Tallahassee. The final standings for the boys had Panama City Bay win- ning the team title with 19 points to eight for Godby. Wakulla and Panama City Beach Arnold each had seven points and Rickards scored five. Suwannee County ended with three points and Taylor County and Madison County failed to score a point. Bay won the girls competi- tion with 21 points to eight for Panama City Beach Arnold. Wakulla ended with seven points along with Rickards. Suwannee County had five points and Taylor County had one. Madison County and Godby did not score any points. The district champions ad- vanced to the regional cham- pionships. The winning first seeded singles and doubles players advanced to the state tournament. Coach Dave Price said he was "pretty pleased" by the ef- fort of his players. "This will be the first time in four years that we did not have anyone advance to the state tourna- ment," he said. But Price said his players made an impression in Tallahassee. In the boys competition, Ben Hudson lost to Arnold 6-1 and 6-1 in first seeded singles. Tyler Price lost to Rickards 6-0, 3-6 and 7-6 in second seeded singles. In third seeded singles, Woody Harvey beat Madison County 6-1 and 6-1. Harvey lost in the semifinals 7-5 and 6-0 against Bay. In the fourth seeded singles, Clint Kyle beat Madison County 6-0 and 6-0. In the semifinals, Kyle lost to Bay 6-2 and 6-4. In the fifth seeded singles, Jonathan Johnson defeated Madison County 6-0 and 6-0. In the semifinals, Johnson beat Suwannee County 7-6 and 6-3. Johnson lost the fifth seeded singles final 6-3 and 6-4 to Bay. In the first seeded doubles competition, Hudson and Price beat Taylor County 6-0 and 6-0 but lost to Bay in the semifi- nals 6-1 and 6-1. , In the second seeded doub- les competition, Kyle and Harvey beat Arnold 2-6, 6-2 and 6-3. In the semifinals, the Waktilla duo beat Rickards 6-3 and 6-3. Kyle and Harvey lost 6-3 and 6-3 against Bay in the finals. In the Lady War Eagle com- petition, first seeded singles player Mary Mounts lost to Suwannee County 6-1 and 6-0. Second seeded Charlotte Var- ney beat Madison County 6-0 and 6-0. Varney lost in the semi- finals to Arnold 6-4 and 6-4. Third seeded singles player Ashley Lee beat Madison Coun- ty 6-0 and 6-0. Lee lost in the semifinals 6-0 and 6-0 against Bay. Fourth seeded Jessica McBride beat Rickards 1-6, 7-6 (7-5) and 6-2. McBride beat Arnold 6-4 and 6-4 in the semi- finals. She lost 6-4 and 6-0 in the finals against Bay. Fifth seeded Nina Reich beat Madison County 6-4 and 6-1 before losing in the semifinals to Bay 6-0 and 7-5. The Wakulla War Eagle base- ball winning streak came to an end at 14 games last week as Coach Mike Gauger's squad beat Liberty County Tuesday, April 18 in Bristol but dropped the regular season finale a- gainst Taylor County Thursday, April 20 in Perry. The War Eagles will be par- ticipating in the Class 4A Dis- trict 2 Tournament this week at Tallahassee Godby. Wakulla is the top seed and will play Wednesday, April 26 against the winner of the Panama City Beach Arnold-Rickards game which was played April 25. Second seeded Godby will play the winner of the Panama City Bay-East Gadsden game. The winners from April 26 will play Friday, April 28 at 7 p.m. at Godby. The two teams in the championship game will ad- vance to the state playoffs. Wakulla was fired up to play Liberty County. The Bulldogs had only one loss on the sea- son and it came against Wa- kulla .n Medart Feb. 23 by a 6- Sscore. Wakulla topped Liberty 10-5 in the rematch game. Andy'Perez pitched five in- nings and gave up five hits and three earned runs. He struck out seven batters. Kevin Lang- ston pitched 1 2/3 innings and gave up two runs to become the winning pitcher. Melvin Wright pitched to one batter and induced a pop fly to centerfield to end the game and pick up a save. The game was tied 3-3 after five innings but Wakulla scored five runs in the sixth inning and two more in the seventh to put the game away. Kyle Marks was 1-3 with a double and an RBI. Cameron Graves was 1-3 with a double. Tanner Jones was 3-4 with an RBI and two runs scored. An- drew Mellow was 1-2 with two RBIs. Melvin Wright had a hit. Andy Perez did not get a hit but scored two runs. In the doubles competition, first seeded Mary Mounts and Charlotte Varney beat Arnold 6-2 and 6-4. The Wakulla team won the semifinal match a- gainst Rickards 6-2, 6-7 (5-7) and 6-3. Mounts and Varney lost the final match 6-2 and 6-2 against Bay. Second seeded doubles players Ashley Lee and Nina Reich lost to Rickards 7-6 (7-3), 6-7 (4-7) and 6-1. Price will rebuild his Lady War Eagle team next year as only Nina Reich returns. The top four players, Mounts, Varney, Lee and McBride, are all seniors. Two senior boys will be graduating as Ben Hudson and Clint Kyle leave the program. Coach Price said he has some strong middle school players coming into the pro- gram to build on. Tyler Price is the top returning male player. The fall tennis league has helped the coach build his pro- gram. The 2006 season, is the first in many seasons not to lose any matches to bad weath- er. i0P-NOT CH REsidENTiAL COMMERCiAL ALL PhASEs RooFiNq & CONSTRUCTION 422-2116 510-6200 CoNTRAcTiNq CBC1250778 Roofinq CCC1326378 Taylor County shut down the Wakulla offense until the seventh inning and by that time the Bulldogs had a 6-0 lead. Melvin Wright was the los- ing pitcher. He threw three in- nings and gave up five runs, four of which were earned, six hits, a walk and struck out three. Casey Brown pitched two innings and gave up an unearned run and two hits. Cory Eddinger pitched the fi- nal inning and did not give up anything. Wakulla could only muster five hits as Tanner Jones was 2-3, Perez was 1-2, Mellow was 1-3 and Graves was 1-2. Taylor County made three errors in the seventh inning that lead to four unearned runs for WHS. "Taylor is a good team," said Coach Mike Gauger. "They have some good arms. Our kids were tired." Gauger cut practice short on April 21 to give his players a break. Gauger added that after beating Liberty, his team may have been looking ahead to the district tourna- ment. If Wakulla finishes first or second in the district tourna- ment, they will play in the re- gional quarterfinals Tuesday, May 2. A win in the quart- erfinals will send the team to the regional semifinals on Fri- day, May 5. The regional finals are Tuesday, May 9. Wakulla is the top seed in the district tournament fol- lowed by Godby. Bay is seeded third and Arnold is the fourth seed. Rickards is ranked fifth and East Gadsden is the sixth seed. Gauger said he is concerned about having to beat either Arnold or Rickards a third time this season. Wakulla and God- by split two games in the regu- lar season. Wakulla improved to 20-3 overall and finished the district portion of the schedule at 9-1. --S "Ready To Buy?" The next few columns will deal with some of the primary steps to buying a home. The first step is to hire a real estate professional to help you find your dream home and fine-tune your financial ex- pectations. Working with a buy- er agent is worth consideration since he or she is legally respon- sible for representing the buyer's interest in a real estate transac- tion. Before making a decision, have a Realtor explain the pro's and con's of using a buyer agent versus a sales or dual agent. Susan Council Second, shop for mortgage rates and terms. A difference of even half a percent can mean a huge savings over the life of a loan. The difference in the monthly payment on $100,000 at 8% versus 7.5% is about $35 per month. Over 30 years, that's $12,600. . Your third step should be to get pre-qualified for a loan. That will determine how much you can af- ford. It allows you to move swift- ly when you find the right home. It also indicates to the seller that you are serious and really can af- ford to buy the property. Additional steps will be cov- ered next week. Call me for any of your real estate needs.

I. Page 12-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, April 27, 2006 Outdoors Just wait a few minutes and our weather will change - maybe for the good and maybe for the bad. We got some of that much needed rain but we also had some nasty weather associated with it. When we headed in on Saturday we could see what sure looked to be a tornado in northeast Wakulla County. Despite the weather, fishing was good and I believe the folks at the Stephen C. Smith Regatta were pleased. Juanise at Circle J's said Mike Aries and Trey Harper fished New Fiver with crickets and caught 50 bream. David Gray fished Hitchcock Lake and got his limit of bream and speckled perch. He was fly-fish- O rom The Dock 1 .By CAPT. JODY CAMPBELL ing. Ben Allen went to St. Marks and caught trout and pompano using live shrimp. Last week 7-year-old Trent Martin caught a big stump- knocker in the Sopchoppy River using worms. Four-year- old Colby Wahley caught some big red bellies in Silver Lake. J.J. McMahaffey fished Patty's Island and caught 30 trout to 21 inches using the Cajun Thunder with candy corn and electric chicken colored grubs. Tom Riddle and Mike Pear- By GEORGE WEYMOUTH We've basically got two types of shore birds, those that probe - the sandpipers and those that pick off the surface the plovers. Yes, there are some odd balls like the avocets that tend to skim the water's surface with their upturned bills, the oyster catchers that pry open clams, oysters, etc., with that unique flattened bill, and the phalaropes that swim in circles and snatch the food brought into the vortex they've created. But, all in all, they're either sandpipers or plovers. In this article I'd like to discuss the plovers we are likely to encounter in Wakulla County. They are the killdeer, snowy, Wilson's, simipalmated and the threatened piping plovers all termed "banded plovers," and then there's the black-bellied and, occasionally recorded, the golden plovers, which in the sum- mer both get black bellies. The basic sandpiper, while feeding, is constantly on the move, and continuously probing their relatively long bill, often deep into the mud flat they're working. Often they are rather numer- ous and in loose flocks of a dozen or more to hundreds/thou- sands! Sometimes (like the dowitchers) they're compared to a sewing machine needle, they're probing so diligently! The plovers, on the other hand, remind you of robins out in your yard. They'll stand for a few seconds, then walk a few paces and stop and stand again, for they depend on sight to locate their prey mostly, while the sandpipers (while probing) are counting on sooner or later making contact with prey by touch. The more they probe, the higher the chance of contact. The plovers, however, only put their bills to the surface when potential food is located. They tend to feed more by themselves, too. Plovers even have more of a robin shaped bill, like a pair of tweezers with a somewhat flattened tip. So, if the shore bird continuously walks and probes, it's prob- ably a sandpiper. If it walks and stops, and sometimes picks off the surface, it is a plover. I've noted that the black-bellied, golden simipalmated and piping usually make rather short runs be- tween stops while the Wilson's and snowy plovers will often cover perhaps 20 feet per run, instead of three to six feet. The banded plovers, especially the killdeer (the only one with two bands across the chest) will often face you or potential danger and lower themselves to the ground or sand. Their bands break up their visual shape and, when viewed head on, the bands confuse the eye and chop the bird seemingly apart. It's called a disruptive coloration and it really works! Also each species has a slightly different coloration on their backs. The lightest is the snowy plover (light as snow you could say) for they match the dried sand found back from the shore- line along the beach. They tend to hang out in the beginning dunes where seas oats start as one would walk away from the surf. The now rarely observed piping plover's back is the color of wet sand. Then again, the dry mud matches the Wilson's plover's back color and the simipalmated's back is the darkest of these smaller ringed plovers, matching the color of wet mud. The killdeer is often found in wet pastures and other mucky areas and so it, too, has a darker back. Most of us are familiar with the killdeer and have seen it on granny's farm. We often remember them "feigning" a broken wing while trying to draw us away from their nest. Actually, just about all plovers/shorebirds do this feigning act, it's just that we rarely see them nesting like we do the lovely plover, the killdeer. Manatee Watch In order to determine where manatees are gathering in Wakulla area waters, boaters are encouraged to read the Manatee Watch weekly and take care in areas where manatees are sighted. No sightings of manatees were reported on the Wakulla River this week since the chemical treatment for hydrilla was used at Wakulla Springs State Park. The state released herbicide at Wakulla Springs beginning April 17 and water from the river is not to be used for irrigation, water- ing livestock or domestic uses through May 1. As a precaution, resi- dents were advised not to eat fish from the river until after April 24. To report the harassment, injury or death of a manatee, call the 24- hour manatee hotline at (888) 404-3922 or *FWCC. For more information concerning manatees, call HuManatee at 925-6412. son fished around Piney Island this weekend and caught trout and Spanish and plenty of la- dyfish. They also caught some nice jack cravelle. On Friday they went fishing with Alan Lamarche of Shell Point and came back with their limit of snapper. Jack Fenwick of Oyster Bay said they also caught some big jacks in the same area Mike and Tom were fishing. Larry Hess has been fishing Piney Island and getting his limit of trout and he also went to about 25 feet of water and got his limit of grouper troll- ing with the Stretch 25. One .day last week he took Mike Moss of Shell Point and in a couple of hours they had their limit of trout using Cajun Thunders and grubs. Capt.'Randy Peart has been catching lots of fish around the Aucilla using Saltwater Assas- sins up against the grass on the high tides. He's also been doing very well trolling the charteuse Stretch 25 for grou- per in about 20 feet of water. Monday I fished with Eric Green and Connie Ferarra from Altanta and what started off slow ended up a great day. We caught two Spanish and lost probably four or five, one 30 inch cobia, and about 60 trout. We kept 15 and threw back 13 that were legal, including three about 20 inches. Everything was caught on live shrimp un- der a Cajun Thunder or a char- treuse Gotcha Grub. They bit fairly well on the last of the rise but really turned on when the tide started falling in the afternoon. Scott said they were ex- tremely busy this past week- end and saw lots of fish. Peter Ruminik took his daughter, Madison, fishing and she caught her first trout ever troll- ing a spoon on the flats. Jason and Liam Callahan fished the lighthousearea and caught 30 trout and kept 10. They used live shrimp and DOAs Brian and Julia Walls fished in 10 feet of water off the chan- nel going out of St. Marks and caught a 24 inch Spanish and a 24 inch grouper. They were trolling a silver Clark spoon. Sebastain and Malcolm Hughes fished near St. Marks and had their best day ever. They caught 20 trout and kept their limit of 10 and also had a 24 inch Spanish. Alan Castleman fished near the lighthouse with live shrimp and got his limit of trout. Dean McLean fished bucktails on Dog Island Reef and caught his first king ever' which weighed 12 pounds and he also had eight nice Spanish. Jamal Reynolds caught his limit of trout west of the lighthouse using shrimp under a Cajun Thunder. The North Florida Fishing Club had a tournament this weekend and Ty Smith fished the Shell Point area and came in with five fish weighing over Ty was fishing soft twitch baits. Mike Hopkins said fishing down around Lanark is very good. Lots of trout are being caught on the flats and reds are everywhere. They're being caught on the bay side of St. George and Dog Island and around most of the docks along Hwy. 98. Pompano fishing is spo- radic. Capt. Gene Strickland went early one day last week with two people and was back at the dock around 9 a.m. with their limit of pompano. Spanish are being caught on Dog Island reef on the east end. Grouper fishing is picking up and 65 feet seems to be the magic depth. Plenty of kings are being caught and Mike said some big cobia are being hooked around the towers. There were seven boats fish- ing K Tower on Sunday. Remember to leave that float plan with someone and be careful out there. Our weather can get bad in a hurry.

A new restroom will be built at Mash Island Park as well. The Mash Island Park fishing pier is being repaired and should be open before the Blue Crab Festival. The pier at Woolley Park in Panacea should be ready for the May 6 Blue Crab Festival, according to Wakulla County Recreation Director Ray 'Gray.

I I'** A Mr% 9^^ *'^ The Stephen C. Sjnith Me- moXial Regatta, despite the downpours on Saturday, could definitely be considered a suc- cessful and rewarding event. Although many members of Flotilla 13 at Shell Point partici- pated in the activities, only Ron Piasecki and Michael Longanecker were on Coast Guard Auxiliary regatta patrol duty. Marge Jones, Flotilla 13, monitored the radios Saturday at the Shell Point Auxiliary Sta- tion. The big news for the week- end was the 33rd Annual Stephen C. Smith Memorial Regatta held at Shell Point. As always, it was a tremendous success despite the storms Sat- urday morning. As the readers know, all proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society. Flotilla 13's member train- ing officer, Jim McGill, is also a member of the Apalachee Bay Yacht Club. He faithfully enters every dinghy race, but seems to have a little problem crossing the finish line ahead of the others. Actually, he is usually the last one, but Sunday he show- ed his true colors. In the Par- rot Head Parade on Sunday, he took third place with his self designed and built The Happy Shark entry. Congratulations, Jim, we were truly proud to see you. (See picture on Page 1.) There was one other boat in the parade with auxiliarists and guests aboard: John Edrin- gton, skipper and owner of AMMA, Judy Bentley and Ron Pagel and guest Ouida McGill, Dorothy Edrington, and the McGill house guests from At- lanta Louis Tomaszewski and Pam Alavi.

Carolyn Brown Treadon re- ports on Flotilla 12's activities: Saturday we held our third American Boating Course (ABC) of the year. Twenty-one at- tended, with four under the age of 17. Mark Rosen was lead instructor, assisted by Rick Yood, Harry Stacey, Steve Hults and Tim Ashley. Officer Hig- man from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission assisted in teaching the local laws and regulations. For us it was a highly suc- cessful day. More importantly, we believe there are 21 people who have the knowledge to be safer boaters. Saturday's patrol was can- celed due to the severe weath- er. Next weekend, auxiliarists from across our division are heading over to Panama City to participate in a training ex- ercise with the active duty Coast Guard. The two day event will test our skills and challenge us to use those skills in real world exercises. Remember Safe Boating Is No Accidental Keeq lWofeul. County 2eautiJl Florida saw boating deaths rise in 2005 to the highest number reported in 10 years. The majority of the increase was victims falling overboard, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC) newly re- leased 2005 Boating Accident Statistical Report. Eighty people lost their lives in 69 incidents last \eai. a 15 percent increase from 2004. "We are very concerned about the upward trend in boating fatalities," said FWC Capt. Richard Moore, Florida's boating law administrator. "Es- pecially given the fact the vast majority of these are easily preventable. "Paying attention to what's going on around your boat is very important, since many accidents are the'result of a collision with another vessel or fixed object." In 2005, falls overboard in- creased 53 percent over the previous year, resulting in 29 incidents and 30 victims. Of those victims, 79 percent of fatal falls overboard involved an open motorboat or some other small, unstable craft. Additionally, 69 percent of fatal falls overboard occurred on calm, inland waters; 93 per- cent of the victims drowned (63 percent of those reportedly could swim); none of the drowning victims were wear- ing or using a life jacket, and 53 percent were at least 51 years old. "As for the deaths," Moore said, "the simple act of wear- ing a life jacket is your best in- surance on the water. Our stats show that it's mostly swim- mers who are drowning when they unexpectedly end up in the water." Sandy Morone and Gay Kite of Ocala outlived their sons, who drowned in a boating ac- cident Dec. 19, 2004 on Half Moon Lake in the Ocala Na- tional Forest. Their sons, Allan Michael Morone, 22, and John Edward Ray, 23, failed to wear life vests. Their bodies were not recovered for more than a week. "You don't think it will hap- pen to you," Morone said. "You think it will happen to some- one else. I'm living, but I'm not living the same way." Kite agrees with Morone on the importance of wearing a life vest. "I do know, as a mother who has lost her son, these accidents can be pre- vented," she said.

J '. i nr Teacher, Employee Recognized ..1. ***"' 'p i ".on W7 N a4 t " ., ,- -k -..--- .. -- - WHS Students Pose For Picture In The United Kingdom Students Return From Europe For the past year, 23 Wakulla High School students prepared themselves for a spring break trip.to Europe. Students and sponsors called the "Wakulla World Tour" a "trip that they will never forget." The group traveled through England, France and Italy. The chaperones were Shirley Core, Michael West and Teresa Mur- phy. "The airplane trip alone was an adventure as many students had never flown before," said WHS teacher Murphy. Lauren McCall stopped at Publix to weigh her suitcase and proudly stated that she made the 50 pound luggage weight limit by four pounds. The long and strenuous flight got the best of many of the stu- dents. Most of the group agreed with Sean Reynolds when he remarked, "I am jeal- ous of those around me who are getting some shuteye on this 7 1/2 hour flight." The students toured Stone- henge and London. West- minster Abbey made a lasting impression on them, said Murphy. S"I can't believe that I walked over the graves of Sir Isaac Newton and Lewis Carroll," said Mary Kate Murphy. "There are tons of people buried in that church," said Neil Kelly. "I think the most strange was Charles Darwin. This man who has caused so much con- troversy is buried in England's most luxurious cemetery." Although the students com- plained about having pork and beans with every English breakfast, Elliot Seidler seemed to sum up the entire group's feeling as they left England, said teacher Murphy. "England was a most righteous place," said Seidler. The mood of the group changed when they toured the beaches of Normandy. "It was overwhelming to see where so many of the greatest genera- tion fought and died for us," said Tyl'er Price. "When I saw all of those crosses I became terrified. My brother, who is currently in the service, could wind up in a cem- etery like this," said Jamie Rid- ley. "I just felt such a great sense of pride for those who had lost their lives for our freedom," said Joey Yore. The group moved farther into France and visited the Pal- ace of Versailles and Paris. "The long lines for the Eiffel Tower were worth it when we reached the top," said Lizzie Butler. "When I looked out over the Paris skyline, I think I stopped breathing!" Most of the group found meals in Paris challenging. "It started with a weird meat Jell- O and it went downhill from there," said Mason Alford. The students took an over- night train from Paris to Rome and discovered how big Rome was when they walked with a guide. They toured the ancient Roman ruins, numerous churches and the Vatican. "I was in sheer awe of the church sizes and their beauty," said Jonathan Johnson. "They were magnificent." "Each time I entered one of those beautiful churches I felt as if I had a religious experi- ence," said/Woody Harvey. Mary Jane Tucker was im- pressed with the Sistine Chap- el. When she left St. Peters Ba- silica she was beaming. "I can't believe that I stood in front of Michelangelo's Pieta." The final day of the journey was spent in the seaport of Sorrento, Italy, a city adorned with lemon and orange trees. "The students truly enjoyed the kind nature of the locals as they shopped throughout the historical district," said Mur- phy. "I am glad we came here last or I would have spent all my money too soon," said Casey Fort. "The students and chaper- ones want to thank their sup- portive parents, Principal New- land and Superintendent Miller for allowing us to travel a- broad," said Murphy. "It really made history come alive. It was truly an amazing trip that will leave a lifelong impression." Wakulla County elementary school students in trades one and two are working just as hard as their older counter- parts when it comes to achieve- ment in reading, mathematics, and language skills. Craw- fordville, Medart, and Shade- ville Elementary schools all boast outstanding teachers and administrators who are committed to the success of their students. The Stanford-10 norm-refer- enced test, or NRT, measures how students at the same grade level compare across the nation. Students working at or above the mid-post, or 50th percentile, are considered to be working on grade level. For 2006, the Wakulla Coun- ty first grade district score for reading shows 77 percent of students scoring at or above grade level, up from 73 percent in 2005. Math scores are up to 80 percent from 78 percent last year, and language scores are up to 88 percent from 81 per- cent in 2005. Second graders also showed tremendous growth, topping the norm of 50 percent and improving their already stellar scores from 2005. For 2006, dis- trict second graders show 86 percent scoring at or above grade level in reading, up from last year's 80 percent. Math Bands Perform The Wakulla High School Concert and Symphonic Bands will be performing their Spring Concert on Monday, May 8 at 7 p.m. in the WHS auditorium. Works by Gershwin, Mouss- orgsky, Sousa and Hoist will be performed. Everyone is invited to attend. scores show a five point gain at 84 percent up from 79 per- cent and language scores are at 87 percent, up from 82 per- cent. "Sometimes we forget that there are those wonderful teachers in the early years be- fore state testing begins in third grade who teach our stu- dents the essential skills of reading, writing, and math. Our teachers from pre-kinder- garten through second grade lay the groundwork for a student's entire academic ca- reer," stated Superiritendent David Miller. WHS Spring Concert Is Slated The Wakulla High School Jazz Band will be hosting its Spring Concert Thursday, May 4 at 7 p.m. in the WHS audito- rium. During the event, the band will hold a "grand finale" in' which any community member who plays piano, bass, drums, guitar, trumpet, trombone or saxophone are asked to per- form "maniac" and "St. Louis Blues" with the jazz band. Anyone interested in per- forming is asked to call the band room at 926-2457 and leave a message with your name and instrument. The "finale" dress rehearsal will be held on Monday, May 1 from 2:30 p.m. until 4 p.m. in the WHS band room. Other works by Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, Glenn Miller and oth- ers will be performed. Every- one is invited to attend the concert. Medart Elementary To Hold Spring Festival Medart Elementary School will host its annual spring fes- tival Friday, April 28 from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. at the school. The activities will include large slides, a rock climbing wall, paintball gallery, bingo with prizes in the air condi- tioned cafeteria and many children's games. Food will be available along with baked goods and a cake walk will be held. Money raised at the event will go to-' ward the Medart Elementary School PTO to be used for class- room supplies. Everyone is in- vited to attend. Bobby Pearce is the Medart principal. When you walk into Scott Rossow's computer lab, you may find students working on PowerPoint presentations, Pub- lisher, Word, Internet research or preparing to compete in web design contests, As the tech- nology teacher at his school, Rossow believes in project- based learning mainly because "students are no longer the consumers, but producers in charge of their own learning." Rossow .brings real-world application to the technology classroom as he has years of experience with IBM and Lexmark. Even the school web- site, www.riverspringsms.com, is a product of his technology classroom. Selected as Teacher of the Month by the Riversprings Middle School faculty, Rossow apparently enjoys his job. He is quick to share, "I laugh ev- ery day in class with the kids. Watching them understand new, exciting technologies is very rewarding. Combining computer and kids make for a great job." Scott Rossow spent his for- mative years in Jacksonville. He has a BA in English Litera- ture and an ABS in English Education. Not only does he work after hours and during the holidays to clean computer software and load new pro- grams, he also serves on the School Improvement Team, the Technology Committee and is the yearbook advisor. Riversprings Middle School Principal Dod Walker, applauds Mr. Rossow as well. He shares, "Scott Rossow is an excellent teacher and person. He came to Riversprings following a ca- reer in the.computer industry and soon found his calling. After a year.as an eighth grade English teacher he moved to the Technology Lab. His exper- tise in the technology area is invaluable to RMS. He has an excellent rapport with student and parents as well as his peers. He and his family are true Wakulla County assets.'" Sharon Wisham, a product of the Wakulla County School System, has been selected as the April Employee of the Month. She has been driving a school bus for Wakulla County students since Septem- ber 1994.

Sharon Wisham Elementary School and Wak- ulla High School. Following her high school graduation she attended Lively Vo-Tech and received a certificate in office procedures. Transportation Coordinator Pat Jones said she believes hiring Sharon Wisham has brought good fortune to the bus garage. "She is the type of person who makes a difference in my work day and the students she transports. She is dependable, pleasant, trustworthy, caring, dedicated and loves her job as a school bus driver. Her posi- tive outlook often times finds quick solutions for pressing problems. The Wakulla County School Board and the students are blessed to have an em- ployee and bus driver like Mrs. Sharon Wisham," said Jones.

Her students are her biggest fan club. Because 'she has driven the same route since she started driving in 1994 she has watched them grow into adults and have children of their own. Wisham knows she is the first school board em- ployee to greet students in the morning and meeting them with a positive, cheerful, atti- tude helps them get off to a good start. She shares: "I continually remind myself that every task has value and worth. And our students are the treasures of our county." Wisham attended Shadeville County Considers New Playground Equipment Wakulla County children in the Crawfordville area may soon get playground equip- ment at a local county park, according to Wakulla Parks and Recreation Director Ray Gray. Commissioner Howard Kess- ler asked county commissioners to consider the idea at a recent board meeting. Gray held a public meeting at Hudson Park on Wednesday, April 19 to get input from the public. Gray said he was pleased that more than 50 residents showed up for the meeting in- cluding Kessler, Commissioner Henry Vause and Recreation Board President Philip Vause. Residents expressed their concerns about safety if the equipment was constructed at Hudson or Azalea parks on U.S. Highway 319. Rotary Club members expressed their con- cerns about filling Hudson Park with equipment since a num- ber of annual events are held at the park including festivities for Valentine's Day, a Black His- tory Month celebration and St. Patrick's Day. The recreation department has surveys available for resi- dents to express their opinions. The early frontrunners for the playground location appear to be Hickory Park, which is lo- cated east of Sonic, and Camel- lia Park, which is located just north of Hickory Park, said Gray. Gray stated that a commit- tee is being formed to make recommendations on the play- ground equipment. The recom- mendations will be brought to the county commission for ap- proval. Surveys will be available at the recreation department of- fice in Medart through May 8 and the bottom portion of the survey has a place where indi- viduals can volunteer to serve on the playground equipment committee. Hickory Park is also in line to receive restrooms, said Gray. Lighting and safety are always concerns, but he added that there is already a neighbor- hood watch in place and chil- dren enrolled in the recreation department's summer program have used the Hickory Park lo- cation as a drop off and pick up site in past years. Once commissioners decide how much they want to spend and where they want the equipment to be located, Gray said three companies will be contacted to submit bids on the equipment. The three com- panies are the only ones in Florida approved by the state to sell playground equipment that meets specific guidelines for municipalities. Kendrick Is Appointed To Budget Commitee Florida Representative Will Kendrick of District 10 has been selected to participate in the 2006 budget conference process as the 2006 legislative session begins to wind down. Rep. Kendrick, in a sign of his effectiveness in working in the bipartisan legislature, was appointed by the House Speak- er Tuesday, April 18 to be a member of the Agriculture & Environment Appropriations Conference Committee. There are budget conference committees on every area of the budget including: agricul- ture & environment, criminal justice, education, health and human services, judiciary, state administration and transporta- tion & economic development, said Kendrick. "I am honored to be a part of the budget conference pro- cess," said Rep. Kendrick. "This appointment will allow me to fight for the important priori- ties of my constituents." After the House and Senate have passed separate budgets, the leaders of each chamber appoint members to be a part of a joint conference commit- tee. The committees review the budget and attempt to resolve differences between the House and Senate bills. Negotiations on any unresolved items at the end of the week will take place between the two chambers' appropriations chairs, the rep- resentative concluded.

In 1995, state officials al- lowed Wakulla County to take over the property on U.S. High- way 98. State officials said at the time that they did not have the maintenance funding to keep the park open. A park user recently com- plained to Wakulla County Commissioners about deterio- rating conditions at the park and board members have de- cided to close the park until a final decision can be made on what to do with it. "No money was ever put into it for maintenance and re- pairs," said Gray. "It has gotten to the point where we can no longer babysit it." The park is full of tall weeds, dog feces, tree stumps and de- teriorating amenities. Gray said the water system broke down over the April 22 weekend. The old doublewide trailer used for an attendant to register guests will be removed April 27. The trailer was once used as a poll- ing house in Spring Creek. Be- fore that, it was used by the school district as a classroom. The women's restroom was Residents Ask For Paving Residents of the coastal Oyster Bay community and Shady Acres subdivision in northeastern Wakulla County appeared before the Wakulla County Commission Monday, April 17 to request road paving be done by the county. Dorman Martindale request- ed asphalt for Oakmont Drive, Sheila Drive, McMahan Street and Pinecrest in the Shady Acres area while a group of approximately 10 Oyster Bay residents wore sticky notes on the clothing with the letters "O.B." on them. The Oyster Bay residents are hoping the county will pave Oyster Bay Drive, Blue Dolphin, Gulf Breeze Court and Gator Trail. County commissioners were unable'-to give residents any idea when the roads would be paved but they did promise to pave the groups of roads as single projects once other pav- ing projects were completed rather than doing each road- way individually. Commissioners also dis- cussed the road paving matrix and how road paving priorities were developed. Commissioner Ed Brimner suggested review- ing the matrix again since it is getting old and some of the rankings may have changed recently. Brimner asked Veolia Water Systems Project Manager Ran- dy Merritt to provide an update of roads that have been fin- ished and roads that are still under construction. Commissioner Maxie Law- hon said the road paving pro- cess is painfully slow because the county is at the mercy of paving contractors that have more than one project going at a time and utility companies that must move power poles on their own schedules. The Oyster Bay residents told commissioners that the development already has sev- eral roads paved and finishing the paving would eliminate the need for the county to grade roads in the coastal commu- nity. Resident Ron Griffin said residents have difficulty evacu- ating from the subdivision when storms arrive because the roads flood and are diffi- cult to navigate. Residents evacuating from Oyster Bay with boats run the risk of blocking other residents heading out of the area, Grif- fin said. In addition, the resi- dents said the dirt roads hold water and create a saltwater pond that homeowners must drive through on the return to their homes. Commissioners took no ac- tion. Say You Saw It In The News "firebombed" by an arsonist last year, according to Gray and county officials estimated the loss at $18,000. County insur- ance money only paid off on approximately $3,300 which did not leave Gray with much money to make the necessary repairs. "We have put a portable bathroom in there but the women's restroom is still not usable," said Gray. "We've been doing what we can and oper- ating it out of the fees we have collected. We'll remove every- thing from the property includ- ing the attendant." County commissioners are expected to take action on the park on Monday, May 1. The closing of the park does not include the St. Marks River boat ramp and parking area. A por- table toilet will be located near the ramp. The Newport Park includes 13 campsites with power con- nections and a sanitary dump station. The rest of the camp- sites are "primitive" sites, Gray concluded, CLARK ENTERPRISES 82 Dixe Dr., Crawfordville HOME MOBILE FAX E-MAIL r850)926-5511 (850J519-9090 1850J926-2127 Kiwll937@Earthllnk.net Lawnmowers Chainsaws *Weed Wackers Tillers Auto Truck Boats 8 a.m. 8 p.m. 7 Days A Week Light Welding Electric & Gas Motors Rebuilt Brakes Full Service Lawnmower: Decks Rebuilt Blades Hubs Belts Motors Deck Seats Recently Discounted New Construction Home X. ..' : 31 Haida Trail Almost Completed Spacious 3BR/2BA with featured ceilings, beautiful french doors, his/her master bath, cozy front porch and 1 car garage.

The items are three of 13 to be considered by the P and Z. Nine of the items will go on to the county commission for con- sideration. Wakulla Forest Partners has submitted a final plat ap- plication for 110.03 acres on the south side of Lower Bridge Road east of the Wakulla Gar- dens subdivision. The Walkers Mill subdivi- sion was originally known as Sherwood Forest. The residen- tial Planned Unit Development (PUD) will become a 51 lot sub- division. Hidden Meadows, LLC and Moore Bass Consulting have submitted a 191.11 acre final plat application for the Hidden Meadows subdivision. The parcel is located on Lower Bridge Road north of County Landfill Road. The Planned Unit Development consists of mostly 1/2 acre lots with a to- FCAT Continued from Page 1 That's seven percent of the WHS students tested, com- pared to three percent making a 6.0 across the state,"'noted Superintendent David Miller. An additional.47 WHS soph- omores had near-perfect pa- pers of 5.0 or 5.5, or another 15 percent of the 306 students tested. A score of 3.5 or above is considered proficient, and 80 percent of the WHS sopho- mores came in at 3.5 or above, topping the state average of 78 percent. Overall, WHS students ranked fifth in the state for their scores. Wakulla High School En- glish teachers, along with school and district administra- tors, prepared students well for the FCAT writing test first in- troducing a mandatory semes- ter of Writing I taken by all ninth graders beginning last year. "That means this is the first we've been able to evalu- ate this class through standard- ized test results, since only 10th graders take FCAT writ- ing," stated Miller. "Obviously, it was a positive move to re- quire this course." In addition, WHS English teachers gave all 750 ninth and 10th graders simulated FCAT writing assignments five times this year, and then stayed af- ter school to grade more than 3;750 essays throughout the year according to the state's grading guidelines. "Helping our students im- prove their writing skills is riot just to show achievement on the FCAT. These are important skills that students will need in college and in their careers," observed Miller. Wakulla County eighth graders also met or outscored the state average, continuing their tradition of excellence. At Wakulla Middle School, stu- dents averaged a 4.2 to the state's 4.0 average, and River- springs Middle School met the state average at 4.0. The 4.1 combined district eighth grade average ranked Wakulla Coun- ty middle schoolers third in the state. FCAT reading and math- ematics scores will not be avail- able until late May or early June. The writing, reading, and mathematics scores combine to configure the school grade as designated under Florida's school accountability system.

The Wakulla County Cham- ber of Commerce and Florida Department of Community Af- fairs are assisting the county by developing draft documents for the commission to consider. Agent John Mooshie has submitted a rezoning request for the Estate of Bessie R. Linzy for 8.05 acres at 2526 Craw- fordville Highway north of Walgreens on the west side of the highway. The zoning request is from Agriculture and C-2 commercial to C-2 commercial. The appli- cant has not announced plans for the parcel. Linda L. Rossow and agent Kathy Shirah have submitted a rezoning application for 12.04 acres on the west side of Old Bethel Road south of Highway 267. The existing zoning is Ag- riculture and the requested zon- ing is RR-2 residential.

Marvin R. and Eloise S. Mick are requesting a building setback variance at Paradise Village near Shell Point. The home on .165 of an acre on Janet Drive suffered storm damage last year and the ap- plicants are attempting to re- build.

On arrival, department personnel noted that a number of trees and powerlines were down block- ing several roads. Chief Brazier called for ad- ditional personnel and equip- ment from the Medart and Wakulla Station Fire Rescue Departments. Wakulla Station personnel were, however, sent back to their district before ar- riving in Crawfordville because it appeared the tornado was moving toward the Wakulla Station area. Crawfordville and Medart volunteer firefighters assisted in the removal of downed trees that were blocking roadways and then checked those areas to determine if there was any damage to homes or injuries to people living in the path of the storm. Thankfully, there were no injuries reported. Ever wonder why volunteer fire departments are dispatched to storm damaged areas such as the one mentioned above? It's because fire trucks carry chain saws and other rescue equipment enabling firefight- ers to remove downed trees and other debris that might be blocking access to an area. It is important that road blockage be cleared as quickly as possible to allow entry into the area to determine if any- one is injured or otherwise in need of assistance. And, fire trucks carry basic emergency medical supplies that can be used, if needed, to stabilize patients until EMS arrives on scene. It is also important for fire trucks to gain entry into storm damaged areas as quickly as possible because the storm could have caused powerlines to be down resulting in the possibility of structure fires.

When driving an automo- bile, do you and other drivers in your family know what to do if your vehicle is approach- ing or being overtaken by an emergency vehicle? Florida law requires motor- ists to yield right of way to an emergency vehicle when that vehicle is displaying flashing red or blue lights and sound- ing a siren. When there is an emer- gency, it is vitally important that responding emergency vehicles arrive on scene as quickly and safely as possible whether the emergency is a house on fire requiring re- Ssponse by fire trucks, a medi- cal emergency requiring re- sponse by an ambulance or a need for law enforcement per- sonnel. As our county grows and local highways become more congested, it becomes increas- ingly important for motorists to yield right of way to fire trucks, ambulances and law enforcement vehicles. Fortu- nately, most drivers in our county are aware of the impor- tance' to yield right of way to emergency vehicles and com- ply with that requirement... but not everyone Please discuss this impor- tant aspect of safe and proper vehicle operation with all driv- ing members of your family, particularly any newly licensed drivers. Some points to discuss are: If the emergency vehicle is close behind you, don't stop. Put your right turn signal on to let the emergency vehicle driver know that you see it then pull over to the right and stop as far off the road as safe to do so. Don't block an intersec- tion. If you are already in an intersection, proceed through and then move over. Don't play the radio so loudly that you can't hear ap- proaching sirens. Consider driving with the driver-side window down one- quarter inch to make it easier to hear emergency vehicles. It is illegal to follow an emergency vehicle to see where it is going. Remember that emer- gency vehicles are exempt from certain rules of the road. When safe to do so, they are allowed to exceed posted speed limits, move through red lights and stop signs and use any lane. On behalf of all emergency vehicle operators in the county, your cooperation in this most critical element of safe emer, agency response will be greatly appreciated. If you are interested in be- coming a volunteer firefighter or would like more informa- tion about the program, please contact your area's volunteer fire chief. CONCRETE & LANDSCAPE SERVICE P.O.

On Thursday, April 20, Sgt. C.L. Mrrison, Det. Fred Nich- ols. Deputy Lorne Whaley and Deputy Vicki Mitchell were conducting a narcotics investi- gation in the New Light Church Road area of Crawfordville. The suspect vehicle was observed on the road, but when law en- forcement officials attempted to make a traffic stop, the driver sped off at a high rate of speed. Nathaniel Raymond Haynes was driving a Hertz rental ve- hicle and continued east on New Light Church Road. Hay- nes failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of New Light Church Road and U.S. Highway 319 and continued on C.J. Spears Road. A motorist on C.J. Spears Road told investigators that the driver they were after had sped past him at a high rate of speed. Haynes was located a short time later after he crashed the rental car on a curve. He was still in the vehicle at the time law enforcement officials caught up to him. Haynes suffered injuries in the crash and EMS officials were called to the scene. The Tallahassee man was taken to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital for medical treatment. As soon as he is released from the hospital, Haynes will be charged with reckless driv- ing, obstructing police with high speed fleeing, running a stop sign and not wearing a seat belt. Narcotics were also discovered in the vehicle and additional charges of posses- sion of cocaine, sale of cocaine and possession of marijuana were added to the original charges. Florida Highway Patrol officials were also involved in the investigation. In other activity reported by the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office during the past week: On April 17, Sgt. C.L.

Court Shorts A man charged with manu- facturing methamphetamine, a felony, pleaded no contest to the charge last week and was ordered to serve five months in jail followed by two years' probation. Aaron Clay Perez, 20, entered the plea in circuit court on Monday, April 19. According to the police report in the file, on Feb. 15, a confidential infor- mant working for the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office con- tacted Perez at his home at 446 Whiddon Lake Road to pur- chase methamphetamine. Perez took the money and told the informant to return later in the evening and he would be cooking up a batch. Deputies arranged a search warrant and, after the infor- mant returned to the house and saw meth being manufac- tured, detectives and road of- ficers went to the house and served the warrant. Chemical components for making the drug were seized at the home, including: Liquid Heet, lighter fluid, hydrogen peroxide, ac- etone, match sticks and blister packs of Actifed. Manufacture of metham- phetamine is a second degree felony, punishable by up to 15 years in state prison. Officers also seized a small amount of marijuana in the home as well as three pipes. Perez was charged with a mis- demeanor count of possession of less than 20 grams of mazii- luana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He entered a plea of no con- test to the charges, and was sentenced by Circuit Judge N. Sanders Sauls to serve two years- drug offender probation with the condition of five months in the Wakulla County Jail with credit for 92 days served. Perez must also un- dergo intensive outpatient treatment, and pay $300 resti- tution. Perez was represented in the case by Tallahassee attorney Elizabeth Peskin. The case was prosecuted by Assistant State Attorney Mike Bauer. In other court matters this week: A jury trial got underway on Tuesday, April 25, to deter- mine if the nearly two pounds of marijuana seized at a mobile home belonged to Aaron Poole, also known as "Swoll." Poole, 20, was one of several young men living in the trailer at 72 Honeysuckle Drive, which the sheriff's department had learned was reputedly a source for drug sales. In his opening statement to jurors, prosecutor Mike Bauer said that, while Poole was not home at the time the search warrant was served, other roommates would testify that the 1.8.pounds of pot found in a plastic bag outside his bed- room belonged to Poole. Also found at the home were scales in the kitchen, and baggies and seeds in Poole's bedroom. Bauer also indicated that jurors would see photos of Poole's room, featuring posters of marijuana on his walls. Defense attorney Barbara Hobbs told jurors that all the witnesses against Poole had something to gain by testifying for the state all had worked out deals on other criminal charges, she said. Poole faces felony charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. Judge Sauls is presiding over the trial, which is expected to last just one day. SA 21-year-old woman who got frustrated when her boy- friend broke up with her and fired a gun at his dog, pleaded no contest to a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was or- dered to serve two years com- munity control followed by two years drug offender probation, and to testify truthfully if subpoened. Nadia Delozier, 21, also known as Sissy Cruse and also known as Virginia Cruse, pleaded to the charge in felony court on Wednesday, April 19 before Judge Sauls. According to the arrest re- port, in May 2005, Delozier's boyfriend was breaking up with her at his home in Sopchoppy and she became up- set when she could not get a car to crank. She left the house and the boyfriend put her things outside by the door. When she returned, she was upset about being locked out of the house and climbed through a window and threw a frame at her boyfriend. She then went outside to a friend's car and got a pistol and waved it in the boyfriend's face. She walked away from the home after being refused a ride by a friend because she had the gun. She reportedly fired at the family dog four times as she left. Delozier/Cruse failed to show up for an interview with sheriff's deputies about the incident and was arrested later, in July 2005, in Franklin County on traffic charges. Assistant Public Defender Deanna Hurt represented Delozier/Cruse in the case. ACE I HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING Residential Commercial Refrigeration State Certified.

"He's another one (who lives and breathes county business)." Replacing an employee like Cheryl Blose will be difficult because of her vast experience. Blose began working for the county in April 1979 and retired on April 7, 2006. Blose said working for the county always taught her something new each day. Skipper agreed. "I know it's a heavy load. I'm really, really excited where my feet have planted." Skipper has two grown chil- dren, Elizabeth Clary and Rona Hawkins. The Sopchoppy na- tive graduated from Wakulla High School in 1981.

"The tornado made a path right down the middle of Lonnie Raker Road. We estimated that 200 people lost power, but no- body was hurt." Several resi- dents reported golf ball sized hail associated with the tor- nado. Blanchard added that Na- tional Weather Service officials will investigate to confirm that it actually was a tornado that struck the county. "But I'm sat- isfied that it was a small tor- nado," said Blanchard. "It went across the highway (U.S. 319) about one-quarter mile north of where the last tornado crossed." "The northern part of the county has had two tornadoes in five months," Blanchard con- cluded. "The southern part of the county had sunny weather" when the tornado came through. to auction but Vesecky said the event was still a success. For the second year, the Par- rot Head Parade was held as eight decorated vessels were "decked" out in "outrageous tropical fashion" using a Jimmy Buffet theme. Stan Derzypolski's "Pirates Look At 60" won the first place trophy. Richard Hill's "FEMA" was the second place winner and Jim McGill's "Feeding Frenzy" took home third place. The 34th edition of the me- morial regatta will be held in late April 2007. Vesecky said the date is determined by the mari- time conditions and the tides will be too low to hold the re- gatta on the final weekend in April. Last year the regatta and the Blue Crab Festival were held on consecutive weekends.
