John Sewell of the firm Kimley-Horn and Associates told commissioners that Wa- kulla County roads, particularly U.S. Highway 319 in Craw- fordville, have reached peak capacity. Sewell presented a traffic study to the board that was required by the state Depart- ment of Community Affairs (DCA) as part of the approval process for the N.G. Wade In- vestment Company's Sustain- able Community in northeast- ern Wakulla County. The study examined the entire county, not just the northeastern por- tion. Board members approved the traffic study for submission to DCA for review unani- mouslyl However, several com- missioners wanted to talk about the future of U.S. High- way 319 and how traffic in- creases will affect the county's ability to approve future devel- opment. Attorney Bob RQuta of the Wakulla County Chamber of Commerce said the chamber helped fund the $20,000 traffic study as a way to help the com- mission avoid a termination of development permits due to unacceptable traffic service lev- els on U.S. 319. Sewell said the study shows Wakulla County meeting stan- dard levels of service on its roadways now. But, he added that traffic deficiencies could be reached on Crawfordville Highway as early as 2008. Sec- tions of Crawfordville Highway are on the edge of having un- acceptable service levels now, he said. Commissioner Howard Kessler has warned fellow board mem- bers that unbridled develop- ment approvals along Craw- fordville Highway could result in a shutting down of develop- ment along the corridor until road improvements are com- pleted. "Will Wal-Mart push us over the (acceptable service level) edge?" Corfimissioner Kessler asked Sewell. "It is very likely it could," Sewell responded. The giant retailer will open for business in mid-June. "I'm very concerned," said Commissioner Ed Brimner. "My gut feeling is the road is busier in the morning." Sewell said the traffic study uses af- ternoon peak counts to mea- sure traffic.

Mosquito Control Will Change Wakulla County mosquitoes will soon need to be on the lookout for Wakulla Health Department officials after county commissioners agreed to transfer the mosquito con- trol program from PSG to the state health office in Crawf- ordville Monday, June 5.

Having the mosquito con- trol unit run by a state or county agency will allow the agency to apply for state grant funding to supplement the budget. Merritt said his private public works firm is not eli- gible to apply for the grant funding. County commissioners vot- ed 4-0 to turn the operation over to Marlon Hunter and the health department on Oct. 1 when the new budget year be- gins. Jody Smith of the health department said the health department would be happy to take over the operation from PSG and the county commis- sion. Commissioner Ed Brimner said the health department will be able to send a staff mem- ber to school to become certi- fied in mosquito control as well as acquire an additional $37,000 for other mosquito control re- lated programs or expenses. "Mr. Hunter was very favor- able to doing this," said Brim- ner of a conversation with the health department director. "I really don't feel we (a pri- vate company) should be spray- ing pesticides around people," added Merritt. "I'd just as soon not have the hassle." Merritt added that the health depart- ment is already familiar with mosquitoes through its knowl- edge of insect borne diseases. Brimner suggested having Merritt and Hunter work to develop a transition plan for the summer before the 2006- 2007 budget year arrives in October when much of the mosquito season will have passed. "I think it falls right in line with where it should be," said Commissioner Brian Langston of the program transfer. Two residents, Virginia Brock and Jimmie Doyle, sup- ported the move. Brock said the program may be more cost effective through the health department and Doyle said the Please turn to Page 24 praiser Anne Ahrendt said this week. Information to be presented by Ahrendt at a budget work- shop for constitutional officers shows a sharp spike between 2004 and 2005 in property val- ues in Wakulla County, rising some 70 percent. The state average during the same time was around 20 per- cent. Ahrendt said it appears that some of the cooling in coastal properties is because specula- tors of waterfront land called "sand flippers" have sold off their holdings. Asked to confirm that obsei- vation, real estate broker Penny McKinney said she agreed with Ahrendt. Investor frenzy over the past couple of years inflated prices of coastal property to artificially high levels, McKinney said. That seems to have now lev- eled off.

Blanchard Will SFill Post Of Administrator By KEITH BLACKMAR Of The Wakulla News Wakulla County Commis- sioners turned to a familiar face to fill the position of interim county administrator Wednes- day, May 31, but just barely. Wakulla County Emergency Management Director Joe Blan- chard was appointed to replace Parrish Barwick for six months. Board members approved his transfer from the sheriff's of- fice, but the vote was a close 3- 2. Commissioners Howard Kessler and Brian Langston voted against Blanchard for dif- ferent reasons. Kessler said he wanted to serve in the county admin- istrator's office himself until a new administrator was perma- nently hired. Langston said he wanted more time to discuss the position with Blanchard and Wakulla County Grants and Special Projects Coordina- tor Pam Portwood who e- merged as a candidate over the past few days. Blanchard will receive a pro- rated $60,000 salary which is less than the $66,000 the board was paying Barwick but slightly more than the $57,000 he re- ceived from the sheriff's office. "I didn't have a chance to talk to Pam (Portwood) and I wanted to speak to her," said Langston. "But I think Mr. Blanchard will do a fine job." Kessler suggested the tax- payers could save $30,000 by having the board allow him to operate the county admin- istrator's office on an interim basis.

What is it, you ask, that makes me mutter under my breath like a pirate as I run the roads of Wakulla with m'dog trying to find an unpolluted beach to swim or a road where the guy in front of me ain't turning left in front of another clear cut vacant office park? I am sooooo glad you asked... I refer, of course, to the vari- ous "emergency" and "special" meetings over the Parrish Barwick thing. I guess now they've taken to saying "special." Ap- parently, when you advertise "emergency" there has to be one. This, of course, devolved into one of the wildest and ugliest encounters I have had the pleasure of witnessing (outside of Beep's of course)- the Wednesday, May 31 meet- ing to hire an "interim" county administrator. And I'm happy I witnessed it. You know, for years now m'wife has been bugging me to see "How To Make An American Quilt," which is, as everyone knows, one of them sissy chick flicks.

One which my grandma would kicked these birds off the porch for trying. A "let's not tell anybody we're hav- ing a public meeting" travesty.

Harrison Metcalf Crawfordville Kessler Does Not Have Special Interests Editor, The News, I have been reading all the ranting for and against what the Honorable Howard Kessler, M.D. did during the so-called "emergency meeting" held to determine the severance pack- age for Parrish Barwick .who, if I'm not mistaken, recently received one of the most lucra- tive pay increases in our county's history-not to mention he gets full pay while he trains his successor. Dr. Kessler is clearly the only commissioner who looks after the welfare of his con- stituency, not that of the spe- cial interest groups (mainly large scale developers). For this reason and many others, Wakulla residents should be outraged at the arrogance of the other four commissioners for their formal complaint to the Gov- ernor and Attorney Generall I have written letters to both the Governor and Attor- Clarification Wakulla County Commis- sioner Howard Kessler is seek- ing reelection to his District 4 seat in November.

I encourage others to get off their rumps and do the same, either for or against the bullying commis- sioners' attempts to wrongly persecute a good man! You would have to be utterly blind to not see that our county is being ruined by the process of selling it to the highest bidder! People, wake up, my father told me something long ago that took: "Those who stand up for nothing will fall for any- thing," and boy is our county falling I sincerely hope Mike Stewart isn't Mr. Barwick's replacement as during a meeting many years ago concerning speed on the road I reside on, he did not tell me the truth. I was told that speed control measures were going to be installed dur- ing resurfacing. However, someone did come out and paint speed bumps on the fresh pavement-that'll slow them down!

They threw a friend of mine outta that meeting! A friend I respect A friend those birds can't hold a candle to. A real man, who gives without pay or praise. Because he does. A friend and worker these birds can't come close to. SMy friend was commenting on the meetings and actions he couldn't address before. Working you know. Couldn't make one meeting cause he slept in. Seems he was fighting a fire from 1:30 to "'"30Aim. then had to go to work. How's that for "you will stick to the subject or I will have you es- corted out" from Mr. Lawhon, ap- parently the new Mullah of Wakulla? These commissioners can't even entertain what I thoughtwas an acceptable alternative to the money they've been spending presented by Commissioner Kessler, but they can throw out of their stinking 5:30 meeting, which most people couldn't attend, a man who volunteers his time, ef- fort, and courage so these empty igon speech s esspress p ly assembly ress red gion A l semb oY r ess r qeligon re t heads can sleep in every morn- ing. And then spend, for a spring- time fling, almost $200,000? And when I asked 'em if they even knew who they threw out, all I got were four blank stares. And you know what? They prob- ably didn't know just whom it was they threw out. Or maybe they did, and threw him out anyway. And if that's the case, shame on them. Not knowing who's out there fighting their fires, for free, for them. And the money quote- For the past few weeks, I've been won- dering about them boys reading each others' minds at all these "emergency" meetings, but now I'm thinking they cheated. Accord- ing to my 'lil pad, Chairman Lawhon said, at one point, "We all think." Unfortunately he Said it before much thinking was exemplified. MMMM. Not good, guys. I think that's ille- gal. Unless the chairman was reading their minds and did know what they all thought... believe that? Well I've got an unpolluted beach for you. And an uncontaminated fish. M'wife, who grew up around mean boys like these, finally turned me on to 'em: "They're just like the little boys behind the barn They're back there smoking and they don't.want anyone to know and if you call 'em on it they bully up 'cause it's their clubhouse or they think it's their clubhouse and they won't do any work to keep it but it's theirs because they took it." Well, enough of that. Folks let's take it back. Enough of this government by DaddyAtTheSuppet-Table. Or jerks behind the barn. So, the next time you're driving 'round and see a traf- fic accident with a fire truck, a first responder, or a bunch of firemen gathered either fight- ing a fire or begging money cause there ain't any for equip- ment-think. Think about the Mullahs from Wakulla shovel- ing out that $200k. "Their" money. For their "club." Their whims. Then think about the men and women volunteers who could use some help. And think about those firefighters and first responders, asking questions, voicing opinions or, if they come to the commis- sion for funding, how they might-just might, now-get thrown out.

The vote will allow county planning officials to send the text amendment to the Florida Department of Community Af- fairs (DCA) for input by the June 30 deadline. Ultimately, the text amendment will return to the county commission a second time for the adoption phase. County officials and a chamber of commerce sup- ported committee have pro- posed requiring performance based septic tanks with new construction along with 100 foot buffers around some springs and sinkholes to pro- tect surface and ground water. Wakulla County Community Development Director Donnie Sparkman said the plan is very progressive for a rural county. "I don't think anyone in Florida has anything like this," said Sparkman. Attorney Bob Routa of, the chamber of commerce said the committee that worked on the document with .the county re- ceived input from many sources and included concerns about protecting coastal waters as well. "We've had a lot of good input," said Routa. Routa suggested holding another workshop with county commissioners to discuss the document after DCA has issued its comments on the proposal. Consultant Paul Johnson said residents are taking a dif- ferent approach to sinkholes in the 21st century and are no longer using the karst features as places to dump waste. "Sink- holes are windows to our drinking water and coastal Truck Ordinance Is Adopted In '"i a effortt to eliminate large truck traffic in residential subdivisions and on residential roads, Wakulla County Com- missioners unanimously ap- proved a new ordinance that regulates truck traffic on cer- tain roadways Monday, June 5. Several weeks ago resident Bob Montpellier of the Song- bird subdivision in Crawford- ville complained to board members that large construc- tion trucks were using the resi- dential roads as shortcuts and posed a potential danger to subdivision children. Commissioners worked with Wakulla County Attorney Ron Mowrey to develop the ordi- nance which addresses restric- tions on roads including Song- bird Avenue, Trice Lane, Ivan Church Road, Revadee Spears Road, Surf Road and Rehwinkel Road. Pickup trucks, emergency and road maintenance vehicles, school Puses, motor homes and farm equipment are a- mong the vehicles exempted from the requirements of the ordinance. The ordinance iden- tifies a large truck as a vehicle with a curb weight of more than 7,500 pounds or a gross weight of more than 10,000 pounds. Residents Billy Pigott and John Trice spoke in favor of restricting heavy vehicles from residential roads. Commission- ers said the large vehicles not only pose a safety threat to children but also damage resi- dential roads that are not built to withstand the heavier weights of work trucks. The ordinance was approved unanimously by the board. There were no objections from the audience. f'eedom Of 7he pteess Js 'Iowi ~'leedom Company Seeking Management Personnel at Hardee's of Crawfordville. Offering competitive salary based on experience.

"It's huge for Wakulla Coun- ty that we're doing this," said Commissioner Ed Brimner. Commissioner Howard Kessler was not as excited about the pro- posal. He called it "dumbed down by the chamber in a fash- ion you can drive a truck through." "I can't vote for this one," he added. "Let's not send it up (to DCA) in a manner that's not ready."

Page 4-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, June 8, 2006 Community BUCKHORN COMMUNITY NEWS By Ethel Skipper A thought for the week: How does Jesus say that His disciples can be identified best? Not by the study Bibles they carry, the bumper stickers on their cars, or the cross jew- elry they wear. Nor can they be identified by the way they dress or the beverages they drink. Not even the music they listen to or their stances on political issues are clear indi- cations! What, then, is their badge of identification? By this everyone will know that you are my disciples: if you have love for one another. (John 13: 55) The Countywide Usher Union anniversary will be at St. Nora P.B.

It is hot, hot, hot. But I am thank- ful that the really bad weather is not here yet. It will come. This will be a short column due to my computer being messed up, or rather my key- board.

Kessler Wins Nettles Award From CCO W At their annual meeting held at Otter Lake in Panacea, the Concerned Citizens of Wak- ulla, Inc. (CCOW) announced the winner of the fourth an- nual Leon Nettles Citizens Award as Dr. Howard Kessler, Wakulla County Commis- sioner, of Panacea. Dr. Kessler, who was a unanimous deci- sion by the CCOW nominating committee chaired by Victor Lambou, was selected out of a field of well-qualified candi- dates. "The Leon Nettles Citizens Award was established four years ago by the Concerned Citizens of Wakulla to recog- nize and honor a Wakulla County citizen highly engaged in the community and who best exemplifies the principles of honesty and integrity that former County Commissioner Leon Nettles demonstrated while serving the county," said CCOW Chair Chad Hansen. "In his role as commis- sioner, Dr. Kessler has been a constant voice for open and honest government while serv- ing as commissioner and chair- ing several county committees. Dr. Kessler shepherded the adoption of the county's new wetlands ordinance, and was instrumental in getting Wak- ulla County involved in the City of Tallahassee sprayfield issue. Before he became a county commissioner, he was an advocate for good govern- ment and the protection of natural resources in the coun- ty." At the awards ceremony, Victor Lambou, who announ- ced the winner, stated, "This year, there was one person who stood out among all the rest by his accomplishments and work over a number of years. By spearheading the wetlands committee, and a steady commitment to the principles of open govern- ment, Dr. Kessler is well de- serving of the Leon Nettles Citizens Award." In his' acceptance speech, Dr. Kessler stated, "I look at the names before mine on this award (Leon Nettles, Victor Lambou, and Robert Alessi) and feel I am in good company with people who exhibit the highest of principles."

It is hard to adopt mature animals, espe- cially if they previously had not been taken care of very well. It is always a pleasure for the shelter personnel to hear from the people who adopted from us. Well, this time it seems the pooch did the writ- ing and I thought you might enjoy this letter. To All my Friends at the Shel- ter: I just wanted to let you know about my new life. You know me as Big Boy, but my new name is Cody. My adopted mom and dad are really good to me, I get good meals and special treats called "Snausages" when I'm extra good. Mom and Dad are teaching me to 'sit' and 'down,' but I'm a little stubborn. I would rather snuggle close to them. Last week Dad took me to Dr. Pyle. He was very nice. I was really patient with all the poking and prodding. The doc- tor found out that I have some problems. I have a yeast infec- tion in both ears. I have some pain in my hip that is making me limp. Worst of all, I have heartwprms. The 'good thing is that my new parents love me an awful lot. They told me they would do whatever needs to be done to make me all better. Anyway, I got all my shots, pills for the pain and cleaner and salve for my ears. I have to go back soon for the heartworm treatments. I heard the doctor say I won't like it much, but I will get bet- ter afterward. Oh, I almost forgot. I have two brothers. They are cats. I am afraid.of them. They, don't seem to like me at all. Mom won't let us be in the same room yet. I'm glad because they have sharp claws. Ouchl Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for finding me a family that loves me so much. I am so lucky to be here.

Bush Canoes On The River Gov. Jeb Bush was out on the Wakulla River for a few hours over the weekend. The governor and his daugh- ter reportedly rented a canoe at T-n-T Hideaway and paddled the river for a few hours. Unlike other canoers and kayakers, Gov. Bush had a se- curity detail of wildlife officers on the river a boat ahead and a boat behind. Some customers were re- portedly a little spooked when two SUVs pulled up in the ca- noe shop's parking lot and said the governor was 10 minutes behind. The khaki-clad security officers had the canoe in the water and ready by the time Bush arrived, and the governor was able to step out of his SUV and get out on the water.

Doug Jones, director of the Wakulla Co'unty Public Library, has agreed to pro\ ide storage space forthe books as they await transport to Louisiana. "I recently flew over that area of the country," Jones explained, "and it remains completely devastated. I am happy to be able to help another commu- nity and its library."

Checks may be written to the Cameron Book Drive Fund, and will be used to purchase new materi- als by the librarians in Cameron. By DOUG JONES Director, Wakulla County Public Library Book Feast, the name of the library's summer reading pro- gram, got off to a very rhyth- mical start last Thursday night with the magical performance of the Afro-Cuban drum en- semble Tacomos. The 62 folks who attended were treated to an informative and enjoyable listening experience utilizing percussion instruments from around the world. The folks attending the Alzheimer's Resource Group meeting in the conference room and the census class in the computer lab also were treated to the rhythmical sounds as the big drums had no trouble penetrating the li- brary walls At the end of the. evening, everybody said they enjoyed it. About 20 folks came to the library's first edition of "Gene- alogy Night," an every Thurs- day night event scheduled for the computer lab this summer. Due to the popularity of search- ing the census in the library's database last week, "Ancestry Library Edition" another spe- cial training session using the library's other genealogical database, "Heritage Quest," has been scheduled for Thurs- day, June 15. Book Feast continues this week with the following events: Magician Sammy Smith "It's Showtime!" features nationally known magician and author Samuel Patrick Smith. He will appear at the library Thursday, June 8. The show begins at 6:30 p.m. and includes magic, comedy, and audience participation. Smith, better known to the children as Sammy Smith the Magician, has performed for Florida libraries, kindergartens, and schools since 1982. A Florida native and resident of Eustis, Smith also presents workshops nationwide, teach- ing other performers how to entertain youngsters. He has lectured in 42 states but per- forms his magic shows mainly for Florida audiences. Books have;been a signifi- cant influence in his life, Smith says. As a youngster, he learned some of his first magic tricks from books in the public li- brary. Today, he is still an avid reader and especially enjoys biographies of writers and cre- ative people. Smith's perfor- mances for libraries focus on encouraging children to read. "After the show, maybe they'll check out a magic book," he says, "but any book they read and learn from is a magic book." St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge The next "Tuesday Outing" will be held at the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge Wel- come Center. Families will meet there at 2:30 p.m. where David Moody will instruct them on the different animals at the refuge before taking them on a short hike on Plum Orchard Trail. Parents are re- sponsible for providing their own transportation to this event. Cinemaniacs The theme this summer for this program for middle school age kids is "Underdogs and Rebels." The first film for the summer will be "Rudy." Rudy has always been told that he was too small to play college football. But he is determined to overcome the odds and ful- fill his dream of. playing for Notre Dame. This is an encour- aging film that clearly demon- strates that there is more than one way,to reach your goals. The film will begin at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 7.

Lots of fish were caught and the weather Couldn't have been any better. It's about three weeks until scallop season and I haven't heard anyone say they've seen many-a few here and a few there but that's all. I keep ask- ing folks and hopefully we'll have the scallop season that everyone seemed to think we should have because of the 'lack of rain. Andy Snuggs and his wife, I Sarabeth, of Shell Point were fishing near Live Oak Island -with frozen shrimp over Me- Smorial Day weekend and Sarabeth caught her first saltwater fish ever, a Spanish that weighed about 4 pounds. Two days later Tommy and Peggy Owens of Shell Point took them fishing with them and they caught eight sharks to about three feet. Guess who caught most of them? You guessed itl Sarabeth caught six of the eight that they caught. It'll probably be hard to get her to go bream fishing again. Jerry's Bait and Tackle had the monthly trout tournament on Sunday and 19 boats fished and 18 came in with a tourna- { ment limit of five fish. Ashley Mock and Junior Dice took first place with five fish weighing 13 pounds, 10 ounces. Their ': biggest fish weighed 4 pounds, 5 ounces. Zach Bahorski and Rob Wil- liams finished in second with five fish weighing 13 pounds, S4 ounces. Their big fish weighed 4 pounds, 2 ounces. Carl Stubbs and his son Brandon took third Place with 12 pounds, 13 Ounces. Other reports were SCasey Cook and his dad fish- ing the east flats with a jig under a Cajun Thunder and they caught 10 nice trout. Sean Forrest and Clint Brown fished near the lighthouse and, using DOAs and grubs under the Cajun Thunder. caught 10 trout to 22 inches. Lori Mease rom The Dock . / By CAPT. JODY CAMPBELL used the Cajun Thunder to catch and release over 50 trout and one big Spanish, and Joe Hull fished the Rock Garden and caught a 26 inch red. Jim Hage was fishing the east flats with live shrimp un- der a Cajun Thunder and he caught a 36 inch cobia. Tommy Thompson was fishing near Cobb Rocks with jigs and also caught a 36 inch cobia. There are plenty of big cobia around now so keep your eyes posted, especially if you're fishing out of St. Marks and you're head- ing out past the St. Marks chan- nel markers in the bay. Any of those can, hold big cobia. Juanise at Circle J's said the kids' fishing tournament was a big success in Panacea this past weekend and the weather, held out so nobody got wet. They had 15 boats that took kids fishing and plenty more fished from shore. Everyone was a winner. Thanks to all the people who helped put this to- gether and to Crum's Bait and Tackle in Panacea that keeps this going every year. Juanise said John went flounder gigging on Sunday night with George Mathers and came home with 15 floun- der. One of Juanise's custom- ers said they got their lines broken by tarpon in Mud Cove and they were in this morning getting heavier line. Freshwater fishing has still been pretty slow but Robbie Herron fished the Sopchoppy River and he didn't think it was too slow. He caught about 50 bream, warmouth perch and catfish. Last week I reported that Dan Tillman and party caught their limit of grouper but actu- ally it was a party from the Episcopal Church and Dan was along with them. At any rate, Dan was with them and they did catch a lot of fish. Dan, Capt. Jerry Alexander and a few more guys from Crawfordville are heading to Costa Rica in the near future to fish for marlin and sailfish. Hopefully we'll hear a good report from this trip. Mike Hopkins over at Lanark Village said trout fishing right now is about as good as he's seen it for big trout. The east and west ends of Dog Island Reef and east end of Dog Is- land are producing lots of big trout. Most are being caught on live pilchards but, live shrimp By NANCY GEORGE Ornamental Horticulturist We not only garden to es- tablish a link to our past, but also to build a path to the fu- ture. Therefore, our gardening style may include classic southern heirlooms like crape myrtles, hydrangeas, and aza- leas, or maybe exotic conver- sation pieces that our neigh- bors don't have. Whatever your style, summer is the time to sit in a shady spot with a cold drink and make bouquets from all those summer blooms. What to Buy/Plant: If your garden lacks color, consider adding permanent plants. Now is the time to look at lo- cal gardens and nurseries for plants that look great in sum- mer. Did you know that there are over 750 species of salvia? Known by the common name of sage, they have a generous palette of color and foliage that perform great in the heat. Also, look for the many dif- ferent varieties of abutilon which does well in both sun and shade, Remember to in- clude the other benefit of gar- dening, butterflies and hum- mingbirds, which love garten- meister fuschia and passion flower vine. Other great sum- mer plants areoleander, hibis- cus, bougainvillea, ginger, and bottlebrush. i Cruise Offered By GEORGE WEYMOUTH We've all seen them, their bright red eyes reflecting back at us .as we drive country roads at night. In Indiana it was the whippoorwill I saw as a young man, occasionally in the woods but mostly on the rural gravel roads after sunset. When I moved ,to southwest Florida years ago it was neat hearing my first chuck-, will's-widow, a close relative we've got here in the southeast. They are bigger than the whippoorwill and browner and sing pretty much all through the spring and early summer. Actually, in April, when the whippoorwill migrates out of Florida to just north of our region to nest they'll start singing, sort of practic- ing (if you will) for breeding season. At the same time, the chuck- will's-widows have returned to the southeast (from points south) and also start singing. So there are, about two or three weeks in April when it's possible to hear both species. While walking through the woods, if a big bat-like birds sud- denly flies up from the ground, it'll probably be one of these "forest finks," while an owl-like screech will take off from a tree a few feet at least from the ground. The screech owl comes in a gray and rust color phase (even from the same clutch of eggs) so they can mimic (or vice versa) the grayer whippoorwill and the rusty dead leaf colored chuck-will's-widow. If you're walking around in an open brushy field and one of these babies flies up, it might be a nighthawk which is also grayish. As a kid, we tended to call the nighthawks "bull bats." While flying they often create a roaring sound as if an airplane were making a dive bombing maneuver and flying erratically over open fields like a bat-hence "bull bat." You will see nighthawks flying in broad daylight. I saw a few last week in midday flying and doing their dive, too. The whip- poorwill and chuck-will's-widow do not feed in the daytime, only the nighthawk. Plus, unlike the other two, nighthawks have a very distinct white band or bar across their Wings. The roaring sound is made (as they go into a dive or court- ship display) by the wing tip feathers vibrating. This roaring sound, which can actually startle you if you're not expecting it, is accompanied by their nasal call. I usually hear their calls first and then check the sky-sure enough, there will be a pair over- head in search of flying insects. While living in southwest Florida, near the Everglades, it was nothing to see a few dozen of these birds over a weedy field in late afternoon. I've not seen nighthawks in such abundance for years and. it has me concerned. Also, when I first moved to Wakulla County in 1986, occasionally I'd drive by Bradwell Bay Wilderness Area on Forest Road 13 (FH13). It was nothing to observe 8 to 12 of these birds (and their bright red eyes), espe- cially near the Sopchoppy River bridge as I drove along. The last few months, exactly 20 years later in the same stretch of road, I'm not seeing anyll The decline of birds of many species in the last hundred years has been dramatic and it saddens me to know this is happening in my lifetime. More on these goatsuckerss," the Caprimulgiformes order, next week.

Young fishermen caught fish in nine different categories at the annual Kids Fishing Tour- nament Saturday, June 3 at Woolley Park in Panacea. The top three finishers in each cat- egory received trophies and one grand prize of a Family Fun Pack to Wild Adventures was also awarded. In the flounder category, Chole Clark placed first fol- lowed by Mitch Parker and Kyle Wilkinson. The white trout category was won by Brandon Barnell followed by Nathaniel Miller and Quin Gibbs. The speckled trout group was won by Chole Clark fol- lowed by Cody Smith and J.J. Cantrell. The Spanish mackerel cat- egory was won by Kendall Tho- mas followed by Jacob Plouffe apd grubs are also working. Reds continue to be all around the docks and live shrimp, pil- chards, and gold spoons are working. There are plenty of Spanish, blues, and ladyfish in the Dog Island Reef and a few pom- pano are still being caught here and there. Capt. Adam Hudson from Carrabelle caught a tarpon last week that was estimated to weigh close to 200.pounds. Pictures were taken and the fish was revived to fight an- other day. Mike says some, think the fish here now are local fish and that the migra- tion from down south hasn't arrived yet due to the crazy weather we had early in the spring. Another fish that's probably Prune/ Propagate: Summer maintenance involves dead- heading roses, annuals and pe- rennials to promote longer flowering; and pruning peren- nials for compact plants that will look great through au- tumn. Make chrysanthemums bushier and more productive by pinching a half inch off of each stem when they're six or seven inches high now through July. Fertilizing: If it's been three months since your last appli- cation of granular fertilizer, then it should be applied again. Follow up with water soluble fertilizer throughout the summer to keep them at their peak. Edibles: Have the space and desire for an orchard? Include blueberry, fig, citrus, musca- dine, and pomegranate. Try planting the many varieties of peppers in your garden, includ- ing jalapeno, serrano, and habanero. Artichokes are ready to'hai vesit now and make won- derful flower arrangements. Pests: in many areas, weeds have already begun seeding. Weed them out or prepare for extra work this summer. If you use the sprays to control weeds, be sure to choose a time of day with low wind. Hit pests with a heavy dose of hose water then spray prob- lem areas with insecticidal soap. Integrated Pest Manage- ment, known as IPM, is an eco- logical approach that mini- mizes serious pest problems. Sanitation, choice varieties, and sound cultivation practices are the best defense against pests and disease. For Fun: Volunteer at an his- toric garden Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to noon or the first Satur- day of each month at Litchgate. '1401 High Rd.,.Tallahassee.

Two were caught around the markers at the FSU Marine Lab and Sonny Jones caught quite a few in the Apalachicola River. I saw one out of Shell Point about two weeks ago and one was seen on one of the Shell Point mark- ers. Free lining live shrimp is the best way to catch them from what I have heard and someone told me to fish live shrimp under a cork about a foot and a half and cast near the fish. Pop the cork once and wait. They'll usually come to the sound and see the shrimp. For years they've been fishing for them at St. George but I think people are starting to realize that's not the only place they are. Offshore fishing is pretty good and grouper are being caught in 35 to 65 feet of wa- ter trolling or bottom fishing. There are lots of small fish out there and when you get on the" small fish you better move. They held a kingfish tourna- ment out of C Quarters this past week and the big fish was a 27 pound king caught on a Ballyhoo. I believe second place was around 17 or 18 pounds. Still no word on scal- lops. The Big Bend Saltwater Clas- sic starts Friday, June 16 at 5:30 a.m. and concludes on Satur- day, June 17 at 7:30 p.m. Weigh- in will be from 3 p.m. til 7:30 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. p.m., both Friday and Saturday. You must be in line to have your fish weighed by 7:30 on Saturday evening, when the tournament ends. Weigh-in will be in Panacea at Panacea Harbor Marina, the Boat House in Carrabelle, and Marquardt's Marina in Mexico beach. Tro- phies and prizes will be pre- sented on Sunday morning starting at 9 a.m. You can go to their web page at www. saltwaterclassic.com to get all the information and find out about registering. Most people know size lim- its and bag limits of fish, or at least I hope they do, but here are some of the limits on fish that you may or may not know. Flounder have to be 12 inches to keep and the bag limit is 10 per person. Tripletail must be 15 inches long and you can keep two. The size limit on cobia is 33 inches to the fork and you can keep one per person or six for the vessel, whichever is less. (If you have six people fishing you can keep six but if eight, people are fishing on the boat you can still only keep six.) There is no size limit on sharks but you can only keep one per person or two per boat, whichever is less. There are also some species of sharks that are protected. Remember, ignorance of the law won't keep, you from getting a ticket. Don't forget to leave a float plan and be careful out there.

That has been my mission for the past few months. Those who know me well, know that I can- not just sit down and do noth- ing, so I have been going through file cabinets of all types. Being a professional vol- unteer (CG Aux, ABVFD, Hos- pice, etc.), I have been involved with all sorts of paperwork the past 20 plus years. It was time I shredded a ton or so of pa- perwork. In one of the files I found the following statement: "Due, to the present economic uncer- tainties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice." I just know some of our readers will appreciate and save it to reread some rainy day, or even on a sunny one. Flotilla 13 is definitely hav- ing a rough time scheduling personnel for duty. As I have mentioned before, the mem- bers are either already commit- ted, out-of-town, or are ill (them or family members, etc.). Marge and Tom Jones are the only ones who have been able to juggle their crowded lives and find time to monitor the radios at the Coast Guard Boating Emergencies. _-.-.- A .;,J Coast Guard Station Panama City .. 1 (850) 234-4228 Coast Guard Station Yankeetown 1 (352) 447-6900 Coast Guard Auxiliary St. Marks (Flotilla 12) ..1 (850) 906-0540 or 893-5137 Shell Point (Flotilla 13) ........................................1 (850) 926-2606 or 926-5654 .... ....:.........." .. .. .'.. 926-5654 p- f"- ;*-* , -.'. .- ,* .2. - .-- - IA 11- Shell Point Area From The Air In 1972 Auxiliary Station, Shell Point. .They are to be commended for ,,, I...

Looking at the radio log, it was apparent that Marge had summed it up nicely in her note to me, "It was a thoroughly uneventful day." Gary and Hollis Bliss, Flo- tilla 13 members who are cur- rently in an inactive status, spent last week in Hawaii. Hollis said that although their hotel was on Oahu, they were unable to get in touch with anyone from the local Coast Guard Auxiliary unit. On Saturday, June 3, Henry Depew presented a talk to the Apalachee Bay Yacht Club titled "Shell Point, Then and Now." Several pictures of Shell Point were shown and Henry gave an oral history of the area since 1950. The population of Wakulla County from 1900 to 1960 was steady, 5,149 to 5,257; 1970 was 6,308; 1980 was Camille Payne Presents Proclamation To Ashley 10,887; and 1990 was 10,887; To- day, the county has an esti- mated population of over 22,863 (2000 census). And now Carolyn Brown Treadon reports on Flotilla 12 (St. Marks) activities, The week was a. busy one of Flotilla 12. Memorial Day patrol was thankfully unevent- ful. Mark Rosen served as cox- swain with Rick Yood and Bob Surdakowski as crew. The team patrolled the St. Marks River area and out in the channel. Other than good friends and good weather, they did not encounter any excitement. Throughout the remainder of the week, plans were being laid for a very productive Sat- urday. The patrol team was Mark Rosen, cbxswain, with crew members Rich Rasmussen and Steve Hults. The team was going out the channel when they came upon a boat that appeared to need help, having drifted into the weeds on the shoreline. The skipper was unable to start the motor. With minor maneuvering, the auxiliary vessel was able to take the disabled boat un- der tow and then safely deliv- ered it to the fort launching ramp. The remainder of the day was uneventful. While the patrol team was patrolling the water, another crew was climbing to the top of the fire tower, once again. Tim Ashley, Tom Ziko, and Chuck Hickman worked dili- gently to connect our newly installed antenna to the cable running into the trailer. SUC- CESS!!! Flotilla 12's communica- tions are now back up and run- ning!l The team was able to contact Panama City and was heard loud and clear. Saturday evening Flotilla 12 held a monthly'meeting. The topic of the night? You guessed it, hurricane preparedness. With hurricane season now in session, we spent the majority of the meeting discussing es- sentials for remaining safe and assisting others in need. A review of the list provided by the American Red Cross in- cludes items such as a basic first aid kit; canned food with a manual can opener; at least three gallons of water for each individual or pet; extra cloth- ing; sleeping bags or blankets: copies of important papers such as house title, drivers li- cense, social security cards, birth certificates and insur- ance; flashlights and batteries. Also important are specialty items for children or persons with disabilities. The need to have all this ready is critical to evacuation if it becomes nec- essary. Within our flotilla,' we plant continue-discussion on how to maintain contact with all members in the event that a storm heads to our area. If last year was any indication of the season we are in store for, we all need to be Semper Para- tus, the motto of the United States Coast Guard: Always Pre- pared! With all this excitement, we forgot to mention a very proud moment for our flotilla during National Safe Boating Week. Duane Treadon, our Flotilla Vice Commander and a Thomas- ville resident, requested that the City of Thomasville issue a proc- lamation in support of Na- tional Safe Boating Week and the Coast Guard Auxiliary. He worked with city staff to draft the proclamation. Tim Ashley, Flotilla 12 Com- mander, was presented the proclamation by the Honor- able Mayor Pro Tem Camille Payne. Flotilla 12 members also at- tending the ceremony were Bob Surdakowski, Duane and Carolyn Treadon. REMEMBER SAFE BOATING IS NO ACCIDENT.

Page 12-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, June 8, 2006 More Than 2,615 Acres Are Bought Govenor Jdb Bush and the Florida Cabinet on May 16 voted to acquire more than 2,615 acres in the Upper St. Marks River Corridor Florida Forever project. The land, lo- cated in Leon and Jefferson counties, is the first acquisition in this project. "This vote will preserve more than 2,600 acres around the St. Marks River, which will protect water quality in the river and nearby waterways," said Department of Environ- mental Protection Secretary Colleen M. Castille. Spanning 14 miles along the upper reaches of the St. Marks River, the Upper St. Marks River Corridor project is a 15,670 acre tract owned entirely by the St. Joe Timberland Company. The May 16 vote will complete Phase I of the project, with Phase II encompassing the re- maining 13,054 acres. The unique topography and geology 9f the area make the Upper St. Marks River Corridor project important to the water quality of the St. Marks River and its contribution to Apala- chee Bay and the estuary at the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. In addition, the St. Mark's River contributes to the Floridian Aquifer and the po- table water supply of the area. This project protects the beginning of a wildlife corri- dor along the St. Marks River and links to the St. Marks Na- tional Wildlife Refuge and other state conservation lands along Florida's Gulf Coast. The project will preserve 12 signifi- cant archaeological and histori- cal sites throughout the area and increase natural resource- based recreational and educa- tion opportunities, providing for water and land-based trails as well as primitive camping. The 10 year, $3 billion Florida Forever program estab- lished by Governor Jeb Bush and the Florida Legislature conserves environmentally sensitive land, restores water- ways and preserves important cultural and historical re- sources. For more information, visit www.FloridaForever.org. Refuge Land Is Acquired The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service purchased a 278 acre addition to the St. Marks Na- tional Wildlife Refuge from The Nature Conservancy Thursday, May 11. The Forest Service funded the transaction because the acreage includes a section of the Florida Trail. The acreage is part of a 2,636 acre parcel the Conservancy purchased in 2003 to save from potential development. The Conservancy has been transfer- ring ownership in stages to fed- eral partners as funds become available. The Fish and Wildlife Ser- vice has bought back 1,506 acres from the Conservancy since 2003. The federal funding has come from the Land and Water Conservancy Fund and officials are awaiting further allocations to buy the remain- ing 852 acres the Conservancy still owns. "Our partnerships with the Fish and Wildlife Service and Forest Service have resulted in an essential addition to the St. Marks Wildlife Refuge and have allowed the Florida Trail to become much more aestheti- cally pleasing for all those us- ing this wonderful public rec- reation amenity," said Victoria Tschinkel, Florida director of The Nature Conservancy. With the land in permanent federal ownership, the Forest Service will be able to protect the scenic and cultural quality of the route. "The purchase of this property brings us one step closer to realizing our goal of establishing a permanently protected footpath through Florida's most treasured natu- ral areas," said Michelle Mitch- ell, Florida trail manager for the U.S. Forest Service. The land was purchased from the St. Joe Company and is west of the refuge entrance on State Road 59. The Forest Service paid $417,000 for the property.

Council told county com- missioners Monday, June 5 that she is getting ready to set the date for a groundbreaking cer- emony. She has ordered a sign to be erected at the site which will inform residents of what will appear at the soon to be cleared property. The new EMS station will be located on Highway 365 near the intersection with Highway 267 in the Wakulla Station area. PSG has agreed to clear the lot at no cost to the county, Coun- cill concluded. The new EMS station will serve residents in northeastern Wakulla County. Council has a station on Trice Lane in Crawfordville and another on U.S. Highway 319 in Medart. In other matters in front of the Wakulla County Commis- sion Monday, June 5: The board approved a Re- quest For Proposal from con- sultants Kimley-Horn and As- sociates to provide professional services for a $135,000 U.S. De- partment of Defense grant for a countywide economic diver- sification plan. Wakulla County is eligible for the grant funds, which go toward helping the county attract government re- lated industries, because it is home to St. Marks Powder. The county will have to negotiate a contract with the consultants. There were five RFPs submit- ted and ranked by county offi- cials. Kimley-Horn was also ap- proved for negotiations for an RFP for consulting services for the Panacea Special Overlay Project, a part of the Panacea 20/20 Visioning Plan. The con- sultants will guide Panacea through the development of the visioning plan. SThe board agreed to seek title information and surveys of property on Council Moore Road in Crawfordville.

"These are trying times and it is incumbent upon the board to step forward and fill that void." "I think this board is capable of taking over the duties at no expense to the taxpayers," said Kessler, The meeting featured a few fireworks as a Wakulla Station area man was escorted from the meeting after refusing to follow the directions of Chair- man Maxie Lawhon and ad- dress only the interim county administrator post issue. The man wanted to discuss the handling of Barwick's iesigna- tion instead and Major Larry Massa was asked to take him outside. The board ejection angered resident Dana Peck who asked the chairman what she should call him. "Should I call you King Lawhon or the Furher?" she asked, "You can call me Com- missioner Lawhon," he re- sponded. Hugh Taylor called the ejec- tion of speakers from the board room "disgusting." He asked board members to show re- spect for the taxpayers. "You show respect and you get re- spect," said Commissioner Lawhon. Volunteer firefighter David Harrison said he had worked' Chamber Continued from Page 1 elected to receive awards follow- ing the nomination process that began several months ago. Mary Ellen Davis presided over the presentation of the awards. The nonprofit category was expanded to include a Community Service and Hu- man Service award. The win- ners were the Wakulla County Senior Citizens Center and Florida Wild Mammal Associa- tion. There were 11 nominees in the category. From a selection of seven businesses within the startup category, Wakulla.com was se- lected as the winner. In the small business cat- egory, there were 14 nominees that have one to 10 employees. The winner was Purple Martin Nurseries. The medium business cat- egory included six businesses with 11 to 49 employees. The winner was Shields Marina. The large business category included businesses with 50 or more employees and seven were nominated. The winner was Embarq, formerly Sprint telephone company. The environmental steward- ship category had three nomi- nees and The Inn at Wildwood was selected as the winner. Wakulla Bank President Walter Dodson was the guest speaker. He spoke to nearly 100 people about productivity and treating employees as a team. Winning businesses all re- ceived a plaque. with Blanchard and found him to be "a fair person" who would "do what's right for this county. I think Joe would be a good decision." Peck asked commissioners to respect the voters of Wakulla County. "The voices have spo- ken and clearly stated they are not supportive of these peo- ple," she said. "Please don't shoot me if I don't say what you want to hear," said resident Larry Rob- erts. Roberts said he was con- cerned about where Blan- chard's loyalties would lie, ei- ther with the board or with the sheriff. "Dr. Kessler is a very edu- cated person," said Roberts. "And he will work pro bono. Mr. Blanchard is the lesser of two evils." There has also been talk about the possibility of hiring former county commis- sioner Mike Stewart. Resident Ron Piasecki asked the board to get citizens in- volved in the permanent coun- ty administrator search. "Miss Portwood had shown an interest in this job and that threw a monkey wrench in it for me," said Commissioner Langston. "Both are capable. I don't want a commissioner running it. That is somewhat of a conflict." "I'm quite confident I could be interim, county administra- tor but the voters voted us to make policy," said Commis- sioner Brimner. "I'm not offering to make policy," responded Kessler. "I would do the grunt work, tak- ing care of (work) fires. We don't have a financial person in place. We're in budget time without a financial person." Following the meeting, Blanchard told The News that his office will handle the bud- get work differently this sum- mer and get the clerk's office more involved. Cheryl Blose was in the fi- nancial position until early April when she retired. She has been coming into the office periodically to assist Colleen Skipper with the transition. Her final day working with the of- fice was June 2. Commissioners voted 5-0 to ,seek an interim county admin- istrator but only 3-2 o transfer Blanchard. Commissioners Langston and Brimner asked for additional time to consider candidates prior to the final vote. "You're creating emergency. upon emergency," said Kessler of the potential delays. "This is too bizarre." "I'd like to do it tonight," said Commissioner Henry Vause, "We need somebody on board as quickly as possible:" Commissioners agreed to advertise for a new county ad- ministrator at a $60,000 to $90,000 salary range. Blanchard has 30 years ex- perience in state government and has spent nine years as the Wakulla County Emergency Management director. He served on the county commission from 1992.to 1996. On Monday, June 5, the board set a deadline of July 7 to begin the interview process for a new administrator. Commissioner Kessler voted against the language in the advertisement which was de- veloped with the assistance of Wakulla County Attorney Ron Mowrey.

This report is designed to inform you about the quality water and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. Our water source is ground water drawn from 3 wells. The wells draw from the Floridan Aquifer. Due to the excellent quality of our Aquifer, the only treatment required is chlorine. We are pleased to report that our drinking water meets all federal and state requirements. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Frank Evans at 850- 984-5301. We encourage our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regular meetings. They are held the fourth Thursday of every month. Please call '*Tivian Johnson at 850-984-5301for time and location . Pa,.acaa ., ca. Water System routinely monitors for contaminants in your ilrnImui water according to Federal and State laws, rules, and regulations. Except where indicated otherwise, this report is based on the results of our monitoring for the period ofJanuary 1st to December 31st 2005. As authorized and approved by EPA, the State has reduced monitoring requirements for certain contaminants to less often, than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are- not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of our data, though representative, is more than one year old. The Department of Environmental Protection has performed a Source Water Assessment on our system and a search of the data sources indicated no potential sources of contamination near our wells. The assessment results are available on the FDEP Source Water Assessment and Protection Program web site at www.dep.state.fl.us/swapp. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. In the table below'you will find terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms we've provided the following definitions: Maximum Contaminant Level or MCL: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set,as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal or MCLG: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Non-detect or "ND" means not detected and indicates that the substance was notfound by laboratory analysis. Non-applicable (n/a). Does not apply. Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) one part by weight'of analyte to 1 million parts by weight of the water sample. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (ug/l) one part by weight of analyte to 1 billion parts by weight of the water sample. Pico curie per liter (pCi/L) measure of the radioactivity in water. Maximum residual disinfectant level or MRDL: The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum residual disinfectant level goal or MRDLG: The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. As you can see by the following table, our system had no violations. We're proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requirements. 2005 TEST RESULTS TABLE ** Results in the Level Detected column for radiological contaminants and inorganic contaminants are the highest average at any of the sampling points or the highest detected level at any sampling point, depending on the sampling fr.Unne.Sv- Contaminant and Dates of MCL .Level Range MCLG MCL Likely Source of Unit of Measurement sampling Violation Detected of Contamination (mo./yr.)

As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: (A) Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural.livestock operations, and wildlife. (B) Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. (C) Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, prban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. (D) Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. (E) Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno- compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/ CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). We at Panacea Area Water System work around the clock to provide top quality water to evely tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children's future.

Board members were still digesting the information from a Kimley-Horn and Associates traffic study that was approved earlier in the meeting. The study stated that the level of service on U.S. 319 was quickly approaching an unacceptable level in parts of Crawfordville. Wakulla Annex, LLC and agent Ray Greer of WisonMiller requested a future land use map change from Urban 1 to Urban 2 on nine acres near Lower Bridge Road, Rehwinkel Road and Brim Fountain Road near the Crawfordville busi- Sprint Changes To Embarq Telephone customers in Wakulla County have a new communications company as Embarq has replaced Sprint. The Embarq green colors have replaced the Sprint red colors at retail stores across Florida and the entire 18-state territory. "The store change-out is more than visual," said Dan Hesse, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Em- barq. "We're bringing common- sense ideas, reliable service and a renewed commitment to the communities we serve. We invite people to visit our stores to experience full-service, inte- grated communications prod- ucts and services that, when combined, offer new ways for our customers to enhance how they communicate, enjoy en- tertainment, play electronic games and share information." SOver the course of the next year, Embarq will open new lifestyle concept stores around the country, focusing on dem- onstrating how practical inno- vation in communications can enhance how people live. By December 2006, the company anticipates 55 to 60 Embarq retail stores will be open around the country, ness district. The Urban 1 land use allows two units per acre with central water and sewer services while the Urban 2 land use allows a maximum of 10 units per acre with a Planned Unit Develop- ment (PUD) zoning. Greer said his clients were planning a mixed use project with commercial shops and townhomes .on James Smith Road. The location of the project would give residents walking access to business in downtown Crawfordville, said Greer. Greer added that the prop- erty was once home to many junk cars and old mobile homes that have been removed from the site. "Fm concerned about add- ing to the traffic on U.S. High- way 319," said Commissioner Ed Brimner. "We don't have any idea when we're going to solve these (transportation) prob- lems." Commissioner Howard Kessler agreed. "We have got to stop and step back until we get a plan in place," he said. Commissioner Brian Lang- ston also agreed with Brimner and Kessler, but he added that Greer had an excellent project. "It is a good project," said Langston. "I love the redevel- opment part of it.

A Kid Fishing With the start of a new hurricane season, many re- sidents who currently live in mobile homes are weig- hing their options to deter- mine if they are ready to weather another year in their current home. A new program is now available that may help offer options that previously were not possible. For many mobile home owners, when they decided to purchase their home, it was a popular decision that provided affordable hous- ing while meeting the size requirements for their fam- ily. Often, this option was considered a temporary solution and their ultimate goal was to own a site built home of their own, hope- fully on the same property that they were currently living on. As time went by, some of these homeowners dis- covered that they did not have enough equity in their land to pay off their existing mortgage and fin- ance the construction costs needed for the new home without making a large down payment on the new loan. With the increase of property values that have been enjoyed over the past' 5 years, it is now quite possible for these same homeowners to finally own. the home they have been waiting for. .Insurance concerns are recently adding additional anxiety to our neighbors. Many mobile home owners have recently received the news that their home- owners insurance premium will double. Many others have been cancelled com- pletely and are having trou- ble finding a replacement policy at a decent price. Rising utility costs along with often inadequate in- sulation, is also consuming an increasing share of the monthly budget. These conditions are creating the "Perfect Storm" for our fellow citizens, even when the skies are clear. A free report reveals how citizens of Wakulla County who currently own their own land, can build the home of their dreams with no money out of pocket while they continue to live in their mobile home until construction is complete.

On Monday, June 5, Gray gave county commissioners an overview of the plan which includes increased camping fees, a two person caretaker contract and $19,500 worth of repairs at the property. Gray told commissioners that the revenue generated from the Newport Park since 1999 has been a maximum of $6,500 in any one year. The es- timated cost to operate the park is $11,000 annually. The $14,500 worth of im- provements include painting, replacement of the roof at the restroom and showers, renova- tion of the showers and stipu- lations to meet state mandated public water testing. Gray said the rules and regu- lations would be posted and dogs would be required to be on a leash. "It is a well used wayside park," said Gray, who added that Newport makes a convenient resting spot for motorists from Perry on their way to Franklin County and Panama City. He estimated that less than 10 percent of the park users were from Wakulla County. Hunting season was a popu- lar time for visitors to use the facility as well as monarch but- terfly season when visitors came to the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge to watch the migration. The county is considering increasing user.fees from $10 to $12 for primitive campsites and $15 to $21 for full use sites. Gray said he based his fee in- E SE t^i| l4OP-0N T(Ii REsidENTiAl CoriMMERCIA All PhASES RoofiNq & CONSTRUCTION 422-2116 510-6200 CoNTRAcTiNq CBC1250771, RoofiNq CCC13263si creases on state park charges rather than private camp- grounds which charge much more for spaces. The majority of the Newport campsites are primitive. The county is proposing to have the caretakers clean the facility as well as take water quality readings. George Nel- son of the parks and recreation department would serve as the park supervisor and make sure the facility is being kept up. "We don't generate the rev- enue for the operation of the park," said Gray. "But the in- crease in fees will help the park rely less on county funding." "I'm convinced that this park has more potential than we believe," said Commis- sioner Ed Brimner. "I look for- ward to getting it back on line." Brimner also suggested com- bining Newport Park with the St. Marks River boat ramp fa- cility in an effort to keep the boat ramp activity orderly. With recent fires and dete- rioration at the park, Brimner asked Gray to make sure all wiring at the park is up to code.

This is the last of a series about real estate investing. Here's some of the nuts and bolts to consider when examining a potential in- vestment. Susan Council ii, -MLS pp Cash flow is the difference be- tween your income and your ex- penses on a piece of property. You can have a positive or negative cash flow. Some people prefer to reduce debt as quickly as possible and keep a negative or zero cash flow. This approach, however, could limit your options. Keep a positive cash flow and you'll have more space to maneuver. Leverage is the ability to borrow a percentage of the value of a piece of property.- Real estate, unlike many investments, offers a very high degree of leverage. Depend- ing on credit circumstances, a per- son can purchase real estate with little of their own. money. What other investments offer such a high degree of leverage? Owning real estate with the goal of making profit allows you to de- duct interest payments and other' expenses come, tax time. But, don't be fooled into buying real estate for the tax advantages. Buy real estate because it makes eco- nomic sense to do so. Owning a real-estate business is a great way to achieve your financial freedom.

Owner: Rick Ruso -5 5 e License CA C05725 sell State License # CA C057258 Court Shorts After a recent sting opera- tion by state beverage agents, several clerks at area stores were chargedwith selling alco- hol to a person under 21. Four people were in court on Tuesday, June 6 to plea to the misdemeanor charge before County Judge Jill Walker. One clerk was ordered to serve jail time because of a prior charge for the same thing, while some had adjudication withheld and only had to pay court costs. Steven Ray Pinson was or- dered to serve three days in the Wakulla County Jail for selling alcohol to an undercover bev- erage officer. He had been charged only months before with the same offense, accord- ing to court records. He was adjudicated guilty and ordered to pay $190 in court costs in addition to the jail time. Pinson told the court he had quit the job at US Grocers and had a new job where he would not be working on a register. Crystal Andrews pleaded no contest and was adjudicated guilty and ordered to pay $250 in fines and court costs. Frances C. Smith had adju- dication withheld and was or- dered to pay $190 in court costs. Deanna Nicole Allen also pleaded no contest and had a withhold and was ordered to pay $190 in court costs. In another court matter, Ryan Kunz admitted he had al- cohol at Cherokee Sink in vio- lation of state park rules and was ordered to pay $190 in court costs by Judge Walker.

He did notice the signs saying alcohol was prohibited at the sink, he said, but didn't expect park police would be out on a rainy day.

I urge you to accept Coastal Continued from Page 1 continuing growth in single family homes. During fiscal year 2003, when the boom in home con- struction seems to have really begun locally, the county is- sued 296 permits for single family homes, up from 221 the previous year. In 2004, the county issued 432 permits. In 2005, there were 664 per- mits. Through mid-May this year, the county has issued 477 per- mits for new home construc- tion. The trend shows, Ahrendt said, that high-end homes - such as beachfront homes - may have seen a cooling, while the county's growth is in subdivision's with single-fam- ily homes. The estimate of total non- this study and send it to DCA. Without it we will stop eco- nomic development." Routa urged county commis- sioners to seek Requests For exempt property in the county continues to rise. Last year's $1.06 billion in property values has increased to more than $1.34 billion this year. Ahrendt plans to present information to the public show- ing her concern that the rela- tively high millage rate com- pared to other coastal counties - may hinder Wakulla's growth. A $1.5 million coastal home in Wakulla County would pay $12,375 in taxes per year. Because of lower millage rates, that same valued home would pay $8,493 in Bay County; $7,642 in Gulf County; and $6,075 in Frankin County. Sales tax proceeds from Wal- Mart's opening, as well as other sources of revenue that are on the increase, are an opportunity for the county to make long- range plans about where it should go, Ahrendt said. Proposals (RFPs) from consult- ants to provide board members with answers to the transpor- tation problem. "If we don't solve this problem, we're dead in the water," said Routa. Resident Chuck Hess said that he has objected to the con- stant approvals given to Craw- fordville Highway develop- ment requests in past months. "We're dying the death of a thousand cuts," he said. He warned board members to "think hard" before approving any more land use amend- ments. "This is a very sobering document," said Brimner. "We have got to get a plan on what we're going to do. This is some- thing that is going to hurt the economy of Wakulla County. A lot of people are going to be out of work." "Unfortunately, we as a board...have a visioning plan that citizens are not happy with," said Commissioner Kessler. "They are not happy with the way we are growing. We need a Compp) plan that is not going to change every month." Board members voted 4-0 to submit the traffic study to the state. Commissioner Maxie Lawhon was absent from the meeting.

Crawfordville 35 Mike Stewart Drive WAL*MART SUPERCENTER I- - Page 22-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, June 8, 2006 Fire Rescue Report This past week, your Wakulla County volunteer firefighters responded to: two structure fires, four brush fires, one mis- cellaneous fire, five vehicle ac- cidents, and 13 first responder medical incidents. Tuesday evening about 7 p.m., the Sopchoppy Volunteer Fire Rescue Department was dispatched to a vehicle acci- dent at the post office. On ar- rival, it was apparent to the department's firefighters that this was not the usual fender- bender accident. The vehicle in question had failed to stop at the sidewalk and continued on crashing into the post office. The vehicle didn't just hit the building...it went entirely into the post of- fice. Occupants were removed from the vehicle and, fortu- nately, there were no injuries. There was, however, substan- tial damage to the post office building. * How To Make Your House A Safe Home SInstall smoke alarms on each level of your home. Keep them free from dust and check them once a week. Change batteries twice a year-when time changes in the spring and fall. Make a fire action plan so that everyone in your home knows how to escape if there is a fire. Keep exits clear so people can escape if there is a fire. Make sure everyone in your home can easily find keys to doors and windows. Take extra care in the kitchen. Accidents while cook- ing account for over half of all fires in homes. Never leave young children alone in the kitchen. Take care when cooking with hot oil. Consider buying a deep-fat fryer that is con- trolled by a thermostat. Never leave lit candles in rooms that no one is. in or in rooms where children are un- attended. Make sure candles are in secure holders on a sur- face that does not burn and away from materials that could burn. Make sure cigarettes are stubbed out properly, disposed of carefully and never smoke in bed. Get into the habit of clos- ing doors at night. If you want to keep a child's bedroom door open, close doors to other rooms where possible...it may well save a life if there is a fire. Don't overload electrical outlets. Generally, one plug for one outlet. Keep matches and light- ers where children cannot see or reach them. Take special care when tired or you've been drinking. Don't run extention cords across the floor or under rugs as they can become worn and short out. All Types of FEED /Chickens /Goats /Hogs ' /Cows /Dogs /Cats, Etc.

Historical society members are planning to use the old county building as a museum and archives. Betty Green, president of the historical society, said her or- Mosquito Continued from Page 1 grant money could be used for other mosquito related pro- grams such as education as other counties do. The vote to approve the transfer was unanimous. In a related matter, the board tabled a request from Merritt to acquire two $3,620 dumpsters to store waste tires at the landfill. Merritt said he has 2,000 tires at the landfill that are being stored on the ground. Board members said they would reconsider the re- quest once the transition plan is in place. In other matters in front of the Wakulla County Commis- sion on Monday, June 5: SThe board approved a resolution to be part of the State Revolving Loan Fund pro- gram which will put the county in line for state Department of Environmental Protection funds for sewage treatment projects. The board tabled a request to accept paved roads in the Greiner's Addition subdivision for county maintenance. Board members said the road asphalt has been approved but more work on swales is necessary. The commission approved a $123,350 bid from Flint Equip- ment for a John Deere 61,000 pound hydraulic excavator un- der a five year cost purchase agreement. The agreement in- cludes a "buy back" option. Ring Power bid $147,022 for a Caterpillar, machine. The board approved a low bid of $80 per unit ton for as- phalt from Peavy and Son. C.W. Roberts Contracting, Inc. bid $86 per ton. The asphalt is used for county road paving projects. ERA REAL ESTATE ganization is seeking $330,000 from the state for the inside work at the old jail. The group was stymied last year in its ef- fort to acquire grant funding and the inside of the building is beginning to deteriorate, said Green. The group plans to add an elevator to access both floors of the facility. Commissioners agreed to provide $20,000 in grant match funding and waive approxi- mately $16,000 worth of antici- pated permit fees in 2007. Merritt said the cost was only $30 per ton "a couple of years ago." The cost per mile to pave has increased significantly, added Commissioner Brimner. The board agreed to start the hiring process of acquiring a GIS mapper for the Enhanced 911 program. The $50,000 cost will be split between the plan- ning and zoning department and the sheriff's office. Wakulla County Community Development Director Donnie Sparkman said his staff can no longer keep up with the map- ping process due to county growth. The maps generated by the mapper will assist emer- gency officials locate residents in times of need, said interim County Administrator Joe Blanchard. Madeleine Carr said the old jail has been sitting "without anything happening" while the historical society unsuccess- fully attempted to acquire the Mowrey Asks For More Wakulla County Attorney Ron Mowrey has requested additional pay in the Alfred Nelson veteran service officer litigation as an "extraordinary case." Mowrey has a clause in his contract in which cases that require an extraordinary a- mount of work are not paid as part of his regular $102,000 compensation. Mowrey recently completed work for the county that re- duced the amount of compen- sation awarded to Nelson when he was passed over for the veteran service job "from some $30,000 to about $8,000," said Mowrey, who added that the work of his office directly saved county commissioners money. In other items in front of the county commission recently: The commission approved Magnolia Gardens as a project area to apply for a $270,000 grant. The Hazard Mitigation money, if approved, will help the county address flooding and drainage concerns in the area. \'%-hen BLIuing or Sdlilng Real EitaErc Specializing in Residential Sales and Marketing!

Green said the society has money of its own to put into the match grant pot to reach a goal of $50,000. "We desperately need your help," Green told the board. "We're losing items because we don't have any place to store them." Green said she was disap- pointed to learn that relatives of the late Freeman Ashmore disposed of materials Ashmore had set aside for the society before his death. Many items are being saved by Green at her home which poses a threat to the safety of the items in the event she suf- fers a fire or hurricane damage. The deadline for the society to submit a grant application is June 20. The society has re- ceived four matching grants from the state Department of State Division of Historic Re- sources over the past six years and work has been completed on the outside of the structure and roof. The large Special Category Grant to finish the project was denied last year. Dr. Carr said the society will find out if it has been successful in acquir- ing the grant in late 2006.
