Wakulla County has a pend- ing case at the state Division of Administrative Hearings against Tallahassee, which claims that the city's sprayfield is a source of contamination at Wakulla Springs. Also challeng- ing the permit application are the Florida Wildlife Federation and Attorney General Charlie Crist. Wakulla County Attorney Ron Mowrey said the DOAH case will be dismissed when the city withdraws its permit application, but said county commissioners indicated they want Tallahassee to have more stringent requirements when it refiles its application in six months or so. County Commissioner Ed Brimner said the issue is "cleaner water" and "a better process." "I; don't think there's any way that they can make major changes overnight," Brimner said. "But we can make them agree that they won't put cattle back on there. We can make them agree that they won't put additional fertilizer on the ground. : "These are'some of the things we can ask them'to do," Brimner said, "and these are things that they can do without 15 years in the process." The city's announcement on Friday, Aug. 4, came as a surprise to members of the Friends of Wakulla Springs, who have sought for years to get the city to accept that the sprayfield is one reason for the recent degradation of the springs. "Unfortunately, for the past two years, they've been in denial that this is a problem," said Friends board member Jack Leppert. "And that's made it exceedingly difficult to enter into a meaningful dialogue with them." Leppert said he was "hope- ful" that the city would opt for nitrate-reducing technology that would perhaps get away from the sprayfield concept altogether. Of the city refiling its permit application in six months, Lep- pert said he didn't know why they would need more than six weeks and speculated that it was an attempt to wait until Please turn to Page 14 Balanced Budget Is No Easy Task thunderstorms have been a frequent occurrence this summer, P picture Perfe often bringing dangerous lightning and hail.

The state Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission re- ceived a call on Monday, Aug. 7, that a witness had seen one child or several children hitting a group of manatees with sticks at Sopchoppy's Myron Hodge City Park, according to FWC Lt. Jeff Schremser. The matter is under investi- gation, Lt. Schremser said. Manatees are an endangered species protected under state and federal law. State law makes it a misdemeanor to harass a manatee, punishable by a maximum fine of $500 and 60 days in jail. Federal punish- ments include a fine of up to $50,000 and a year in prison.

Should Wakulla County hire seven professional firefighters to staff the three busiest sta- tions? Should the county increase the pay for ambulance service staff to compete with the wages offered by other counties? County commissioners saw . the value iti those expendi- tires in the budget, presented to them at a workshop on Thursday, Aug. 3, but they also appeared to want to keep the village at last year's rate of 8.25 mills. With the cost of those proj- ects and others submitted by county department heads, the board faces a deficit of more than $450,000 when it meets with constitutional officers at a workshop on Aug. 15. The easy way out is for the board to cut the contingency fund, interim County Admin- istrator Joe Blanchard said. But Blanchard recommended Against that, noting that the contingency fund of some $270,000 won't last long if the county is hit by a natural disaster. The county has set its tenta- tive millage at 9.0 mills, but the budget committee bal- anced a draft budget at 8.25 mills which represents a 10 percent increase in actual rev- enues because of the increase in property values. "This budget is very lean," Blanchard told commissioners of the proposed $21 million budget. "There is no wiggle room." In preliminary work, the county's budget committee had included $100,000 in stipends for volunteer firefighters, but cut a request for $325,000 to pay a supervisor and six firefighters. The money for salaries would have to come from county general revenue and not the Municipal Services Benefit Unit so that the firefighters could respond to medical calls. (MSBU dollars cannot be spent on ambulance service after a court decision that found the tax was unconstitutional.) The pay would call for $17 an hour for the fire chief, and $13.50 an hour for the firefight- Please turn to Page 15 Mediation Nixed; Plant Still On Table By KEITH BLACKMAR Of The Wakulla News One work day before Wakul- la County Attorney Ron MRw- rey and attorney Nancy Linnan were scheduled to discuss the Wakulla Springs Bottled Wa- ter project in the Shadeville community, attorney Mowrey canceled the mediation. Linnan said her clients, D.P. and Ruth High and Sidney Gray, were scheduled to discuss the potential water pumping proj- ect with county staff on Mon- day, Aug. 7, along with mediator Carlos Alvarez. However, Mowrey said me- diation was not the proper way for the project to be discussed. He added that mediation is used when litigation is threat- ened and is a confidential process. Linnan said the Highs and Gray do not want to sue the county and want the develop- ment process to be open to the public. "Concerns were raised about' the process," said Mowrey. "'What were we going to medi- ate?" The county attorney said the water project application could be filed again or Gray and the Highs could discuss the plan with Wakulla County Com- munity Development Director Donnie Sparkman. "A better approach is to can- cel the mediation," said Mow- rey. "Even after mediation, they would still have to come back to the board. The issue was re- solved (last year with a denial). There is nothing to mediate." Commissioners, Linnan and attorney James Allison DeFoor II, representing the Highs and the project, agreed to meet in a workshop format to discuss the new plan which calls for less water to be extracted from the aquifer. Northwest Florida Water Management District officials will consider the permit to extract 70,900 gallons of water per day at a hearing Thursday, Aug. 24. Commissioner Maxie Law- hon rejected the workshop idea and added that citizens are going to be lined up on both sides of the emotional issue. "I don't think a workshop will ac- complish a thing," he said. But board members decided to put the workshop idea on the Aug. 21 meeting agenda to see if enough want to discuss the matter and what format Please turn to Page 17 Inside This Week Almanaac......................Page 11 Church Page 4 Classfeds..................Page 20 Comment & Opinion.Pagi 2 Crossword Puzzle......Page 20 SOutdoors................Page 0 People Pge 6 School Page 9 Sheriff's Report..........Page 19 Sports .Page 12 Week in Wakulla..........Page 15 6 8457 Page 2-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Aug. 10, 2006 Comment and Opinion Established In Wakulla County In 1895 Families With Deep Roots Are Losing Editor, The News: /f , SI had the good fortune to Jbuy a lot in a platted subdivi- sion at Shell Point in the early 1970s.

Single-family neighborhoods are fair game, and the applicant does not even have to inform the neigh- boring property owners di- rectly unless you live immedi- ately adjacent to the subject property. Be out of town for an extended period, miss The Wakulla News, and when you' return you could be living in a mixed-use neighborhood. I called the county's direc- tor of planning to inquire as to how this application could even have been accepted. To me, it appeared it should have' been rejected on its face. I was told the staff was reviewing it and would make a recommen- dation. I stated that surely there would be recommenda- tion against the proposal. I was told there were some ,factors that needed to be looked at and it was apparent the deci- sion was up for debate. Fortu- nately, I do not have to specu- late as to the recommendation, as staff will make their view known to the Planning Com- mission on Aug. 14, 2006. It is my hope the recommendation will follow universally ac- cepted practices regarding zon-. ing and single-family neighbor- hoods. I state "practices" be- cause it-is apparent the ordi- nance has been changed re- garding notice and I am not sure what else has changed. My conversations with the few planning commissioners I have been able to reach or who have returned my calls indicate they have little basis in prac- tice or law that is currently leading them to believe this would be unacceptable. However, they have. not, seen any technical review ma- terial as this is not given to ,them until Friday before the, hearing on Tuesday. Not much time to go out and look at the properties being considered. In fact, one planning commis- sioner told me by phone. they were uncertain about zoning and had been led to believe the comprehensive land use designation was the important: document and zoning was not, that important. I hope my anxiety about these kinds of applications is needless and the planning commission,and county com- mission will act in the interest of the community and not the developer. However, I have been given the opportunity to review other rezoning applications in our county and find that rezon- ing efforts in neighborhoods zoned single-family.are not that unusual. Riversink Subdi- vision, north of Crawfordville, is a good example. Pixie Circle not only was zoned single-fam- ily, but the restrictive cov- enants adopted at the time the subdivision was platted, re- stricted the lots to single-fam- ily structures. Yet an applica- tion for a used car lot was sent through the system, Finally, I was born in this county and my parents and grandparents lived and worked here before me. I care what kind of community we become and was active as a county commissioner to work for things that protected our en- vironment, protected our neighborhoods and hopefully made the process of govern- ment orderly and predictable. I have been, a board member for the Friends of Wakulla Springs for almost 10 years and have worked with people there who have so passionately tried 'to protect this wonder of the world. ;But, I must confess, I have been willing, to sit back and let others fight the battles before our county government and I have noticed that most of those fighting do not have gen- erational roots as I do. Cer- tainly, my voice should be no more important than anyone else, but those of us who have this heritage need to speak out. I have watched Commis- sioner Kessler become iso- lated. vilified and ignored by this commission and while I don't always agree with him, he is the one sure voice for the average citizen. What is happening is that usually people who have adopted Wakulla as home are speaking because those of us who have these-deep roots don't. I can't believe there are not others like me who have loved this place through the heritage of our families who are not concerned also. We are losing control of our local gov- ernment. They work for usl We need to get involved. My ox has been goredl Not the way I wanted to spend retirement, but looks as though it is nec- essary. My wife and I will have to miss both the planning com- mission meeting on Aug. 14, and the county commission meeting on Sept. 5. If you care about your neighborhood, I hope you will try to be there. Murray McLaughlin Shell Point Support Of Cameron Book Drive Appreciated Editor, The News: The Wakulla Democratic Executive Committee wishes to thank everyone who has donated so generously to the effort to collect books for the libraries of Cameron, LA. Dev- astated by Hurricane Rita, Cameron lost 95 percent of its homes, three schools and its public library. A year later, re-building and recovery are slowly taking place. DEC President Jeff Dykes 'remarked the bi-partisan na- ture of this project, noting that the need is bi-partisan. "In di- sasters of-this magnitude, we're all just Americans, not Democrats or Republicans," he said. Here in Wakulla County, the citizenry came together to col- lect books for Cameron's schools and libraries, anod it has been a wonderful effort. Thousands of items have been collected, and will soon be delivered toCameron. Without the generous help of Laura Gentry, owner of Tat- tered Pages Bookstore, this book drive could not have suc- ceeded. Gentry provided a con- venient drop-point for dona- tions at her business for over a month. She has provided a great service to both commu- nities, as well as promoted the event tirelessly. Her kindness is deeply appreciated by all who have worked with her on this project. Special thanks to Library Director Doug Jones, who gra- 'ciously provided storage room for the books as they were donated. The Friends of the. Library also donated gener- ouslyto the book drive. Jones explained that library support- ers in Wakulla County felt it was a great opportunity to reach out to another coastal community who suffered losses that could have easily been our own. As preparations to transport the donations to Louisiana are being made, a savings account remains open at Wakulla Bank. Monetary donations can be made there, and all proceeds will go directly to the libraries of Cameron. For further information, please call Verna Brock (421- 3730 or 606-26-76.) Verna Brock Wakulla DEC Editor, The News: There are approximately 12 property owners and their fam- ily members who use Arran Road before it turns into For- :est Road 365 to access their ',property. SI understood that Arran SRoad was to be paved/repaved. About four miles of Arran was .paved, then a 1.9 mile section o of Forest Road 13. They did not pave the last four-tenths of a mile of Arran Road. I was told that it costs about $190,000 to pave one mile. No one uses either side of the .9 mile strip of Forest Road 13 to get to their property. It cost the taxpayers approximately .$361,000 to repave that section. The taxpayers could have saved $285,000 if the section of Forest Road 13 had not been paved and the last portion of Arran Road had been paved! The Forest Service recently gave the county a check for about $187,000. Let's use a little of that money to pave the last section of Arran Road. The last four-tenths of a mile of Arran. Road,before it turns into For- est Road 365, is used by prop- erty owners.. hunters, nature enthusiasts, bicyclists, the For- est Service and taxpayers as an alternative route to Sopchoppy. I guess the county finally decided to fund an activity for our teenagers! The 1.9 mile section of Forest Road 13 is used as a drag strip. I thought yoih only needed one-quarter mile to get from 0 to 60 mph. We, the taxpayers, can really feel good about ourselves be- cause we just spent about $361,000 to repave the local drag strip for our teenagers.

A letter to the editor in the Aug. 3 Wakulla News reads "the same people, with the possibility of one or two new additions, are show- ing up." The author of the let- ter is referring to the Citizens to be Heard portion of the county commission meetings. A review of the minutes from the April, May and June 2006 county commission meet- ings reveals more than 25 dif- ferent speakers recorded. That sounds like more than a hand- ful to me. The board minutes reflect these different people spoke about 35 different con- cerns. True, some of the people spoke at'more than one meet- ing and some spoke about more than one concern. The truth of the matter is many people have concerns about our county government and, are willing to speak out about those concerns. Truth decay is always more widespread during an election year and, I imagine, thisis the first of many articles we will see and hear about over the next four months. It is common knowledge that the current "gang of four" on the BOCC, the realtors, bankers and developers, have one concern-that of the "sta- tus quo." It is also common Knowledge, as reported in the government ordered Visioning ,Survey, that the majority of Wakulla County citizens have different goals for our county. Bankers have a "truth in lending law" they must follow. Wouldn't it be nice if our civic and political leaders followed a "truth in leading law?"

It definitely is not true that commission meetings are continually inter- rupted. Webster's New Colle- giate Dictionary defines inter- rupt: "1: to stop or hinder by breaking in, 2: to break the uniformity or continuity of-vi: to break in upon an action: esp: to break in with questions or remarks while another is speaking." SIt appears Mrs. Gaupin de- fines interruption as the situa- tion when a Wakulla citizen use his/her allocated time to petition or voice an opinion to our local government that she and certain commissioners dis- agree with. Mr. and Mrs. Gaupin have voiced opinions at commission meetings that I diametrically disagree with; however, I do not consider this to be disruptive, it is their Con- stitutional right to do so no matter what I think. Mrs. Gaupin should remember that if my Constitutional right is taken away from me,to peti- tion or voice opinions to my government that she disagrees with, it is reasonable to be- lieve, that after some future local election and some re- alignment of our county com- mission, her Constitutional right to petition or voice opin- ions to her government that I disagree with could be denied her. This would be most hei- nous. Mrs. Gaupin is also critical of "...ones complaining about the commissioners taking away their freedom of speech by not allowing them to voice their comments on almost ev- ery issue...." In this county all citizens have a Constitutional right to make objections to and comment on anything before county boards, and that right is not limited such that a citi- zen may make only a certain tiumbei Cofobjeccions'and comn- Iments, That is'what' democracy is about.

Cleanup Is One Of Major Events By MARJ LAW Of Keep Wakulla County Beautiful With September just around the comer, we at Keep Wakulla County Beautiful are thinking about the annual International Coastal Cleanup to be held on Saturday, Sept; 161,This is one of our major events. We ask for volunteers to help us rid our coastline and low-lying areas of trash. Site captains will be situated at sev-., eral locations around Wakulla County waiting to give our hundreds of volunteers gloves,, trash bags, and places to clean. : We pick up trash not only at the beach but also along the roads, ditches, parks, and pub- *lic areas in our county. We do this because trash travels.,It is pushed by the wind into ditches along our roads. Raims wash the trash from the ditches down to the shoreline. High tides grab the trash from the shores and pull it into coastal waters. Trash travels by wind, rain and tides. This is why we clean most o f -w-atRh -1 Co un t -YPTW"' Coastal Cleanup. Litter from - roads well inland can make its way to the shore with normal weather conditions. However, during hurricane season, trash travels much more easily. Even the smallest Category 1 hurri- cane can turn most of' our county into shoreline. Waters Share pushed into Ochlockonee Bay, Panacea, Shell Point and St. Marks. when the waters recede, litter from all these ar- eas can end up in the gulf. While land based sources account for SO percent of litter in our oceans. fishing vessels, recreationalboating and cruise ships. military vessels, and off- shore petroleum platforms are primary sources of water-based' debris. This trash can cut bare feet and entangle divers; it can smother sea grasses and bot- tom dwelling species. Small pieces of floating plastic can be eaten by birds and marine mammals; fishing line and nets can entangle them. When we toss litter' in our waters, it' doesn't go away. Litter lasts. Litter can last a very long time. A paper towel or a ba- nana peel may decompose in .oesw t Cost, It Pa'S Awds two to five weeks, but dispos- able diapers and plastic bottles can last 450 years. Glass bottles can last 1 million years in our waters. Cigarette butts are the most numerous items by far to be picked up at the Coastal Cleanup. Filters can last one to five years, and are just the right size to be eaten by marine birds and mammals where they can become lodged in throats and digestive tracts. We draw attention to this litter problem with our "Weigh Your Butts" contest at the cleanup. Groups, like girl and boy scouts, pick up butts for Keep Wakulla County Beautiful cash prizes. SThe; Coastal Cleanup in Wakulla County is part of the International Coastal Cleanup, an Ocean Conservancyproject which began in 1986,and in- cludesover 100 countries. We tally up the different types of trash ave find, and. send the data to the Ocean Conser- vancy. Information can then be analyzed, and can be used to impact, corporations to make materials which are more en- vironmentally friendly. .Join the Coastal Cleanup this year.

By SUSAN HARP Board Member, CHAT of Wakulla, Inc. www.chatofwakulla.org I recently attended a week- end long Disaster Animal Re- sponse Team Seminar pre- sented by Big Bend DART and the Humane Society of the United States. The most impor- tant topic addressed was being, prepared in the event of an emergency. With hurricane sea- son now here, each family member needs to have a disas- ter plan which includes your pets. If you need to evacuate, do you have carriers and leashes for each pet? All pets should wear collars with a current ra- bies tag and ID tag with owner information, Dp you have a photo to help. identify the pet in case your pet escapes or gets lost? Do you have a list of pet-friendly motels where you could go if there was an emergency? Do you know your veterinarian's name and number? In case you must evacuate, have a two week supply of, food per animal, including water. If your pet is on" medi- cation, make sure you have a two week supply of any medi- cations with the name of the medication, dosage, and your pet's name in case refills are needed. Familiar toys and blankets will give comfort to your pet in a strange place. If. necessary, take a muzzle. Proof of pet ownership, including micro- chip information, if applicable, and veterinary records should also be taken if evacuation is necessary.

Evacua- tion to a strange place is a stressful time for both people and animals. Having a plan including emergency contacts can help ease this stress. The debacle in New Orleans last year clearly shows the need to evacuate people with companion animals. If evacua- tion becomes necessary, re- member to leave no pet be- hind.

More than 70 teachers at- tended three full days of sur- vival training this past week. Of course, some of those teachers were National Board Certified Teachers and peer teachers who provided train- ing, resources and support to Wakulla County's "new" hires. The 30+ new teachers were designated to "tribes" and wore their new buffs. They also earned the opportunity to wear an immunity idol, to "eat bugs," to conquer reward chal- lenges, and have opportunities to earn luxury items; Superintendent David Miller said, "It is crucial that our new teachers have a good feel for the flavor of Wakulla before they begin their careers with Wakulla County Schools. Sur- vival training is a great way for them to get started." During the three days two teachers, Jen Whaley and Ken Gambill, were even sent to "ex- ile island." John Kane and Joe -Jacobs were safe, though, as they had immunity necklaces. However, the training wasn't just fun and games. The teach- ers were engaged in sessions that.included: effective teach- ing, principles of professional conduct, accomplished prac- tices, classroom management, teaching strategies, lesson plans, FCAT prep, open house, the first day of school, GradeOuick and EdLine train- ing, a reading.endorsement presentation and a field trip to The Landinig in Panacea. Margy. Callaghan,, a new Medart teacher, was put on the spot with a reward challenge but she came through and told the group, "I am most looking forward to meeting my stu- dents." , Jessica Mapes compliment- ed her colleagues by stating, "The best part of survival train- ing was the ideas I have gained."

I was 7 equipped with a small sandwich sized zip lock bag of survival K items: lighter, whistle, Tylenol, bandaids, Neosporin ointment, space blanket the size of a cigarette pack, adhesive tape and a Mini Mag type flashlight; plus a portable radio to contact the State agency, the Division of Forestry, if I got into a real emer: agency. I headed into the swamp day after day for nearly two , months. . . I also had my Ziess binoculars (my friends call them "knock- ers"), a writing pad, a watei jug, flagging tape, four to six cans of tree marking spray paint, and drinking water, all crainmed in a heavy canvas orange vest. And I wore knee high snake proof Sboots, a sweatband and around my neck my faithful old com- *3 pass-a life saver SAll this was after perhaps a 40 minute drive on sand roads S from the Tate's Hell State Forest Headquarter office,'shop com- Splex in Carrabelle.

The GPS (Global Positioning System) had been used from a helicopter to locate the tree originally and then, by carefully studying a blown up aerial photograph. biologists had figured a path of least resistance to the cluster of trees. They'd marked the path with blue dotted survey ribbon or flagging tape. Now, years later, like an Indian (I felt) I had to relocate the faintest hint of a trail and follow it. Often I might find a frag- ment of the tape after logging operations and fires had swept through. Sometimes only a cleanly cut bush indicated I was still on the trail. Often I had to' scout around and leave orange, ribbons hanging from the tops of saplings so as hot to lose the trail I'd been marking, and be able.to return to it. If, while scouting, I had not been able to find my way back to the marked trail, I'd have had to use the compass to get back to a road, and that would mean plowing through perhaps a half mile or so of titi and other brush, wade swamps, etc. Had this ever happened. I likelywould have spent the night in the swamp, for even with the radio no one probably would have been able to reach me till the following morning. I would have survived, but there would have been some very concerned fellow state employees, But I paced myself and managed to never lose control of the situation, in trying to do my job. Yet I did walk up on a number' of cottonmouths, found bee hives on the backside of the trees I was marking, stood on fire ant mounds while trying to spray the trees, etc. But I didn't bump into a female black bear with her cubs' (though I've seen about eight or 10 bears in the last three months while driving in Tate's Hell) nor get attacked by a nesting female gator while wading across ditches, nor bump into a hornets' nest, or, even worse, a yellow jackets,' for I'd have been at their mercy as you cannot run through titi. In the process, though, of repainting about 240 trees in 40 some clusters I did observe dozens of red-cockadeds, many at their nesting trees; Considering that these birds are federally listed as an endangered species, I felt honored to observe them and assist in their preservation. Next week I'll discuss the red- cockaded woodpecker in detail.

From The Dock 9' : By CAPT. JODY CAMPBELL County was out there on Sun- day and said the bull sharks and, tarpon moved in and started feeding on the Spanish and for about 30 minutes it was like nothing he had ever seen. Quite a few cobia and kings were caught over the weekend and Fred Whaley and party from Columbus, GA came in with a nice box of gag grouper and a big king. They were fish- ing in about 60 feet of water with LYs. Typically, you would see as many as 100 boats fishing out of Lanark but Mike said on a good day there may be 15. Now's the time to head that way if you don't like fishing in .crowds. By NANCY GEORGE Ornamental Horticulturist Gardeners are becoming in- creasingly more adventurous while using quite" ordinary plants. The lure of ornamental grass is strong, and considered to be highly architectural. Like threads in embroidery, their leaves produce a living texture. Their rounded outlines form a gentle silhouette that allows the eye to flow over until the gentlest breeze sends a whis- per of refreshing sight to the spirit. Ornamental grasses offer a pallet of colors that range from yellow and cream to gray, blue and brown and, of course, all shades of green. Foliage can be. equally diverse with variegated patterns ofhorizontal' or. verti- ^rBTtigesI 001 2 In aRm.rsal r Feiahe'ry plumes orf seed Sheds ,catch' the! mornilig 'and evening light, which adds a warm beauty. Plant them as a specimen to provide a striking contrast or create a focal point. Many grasses can be used as, an accent or backdrop for other plants, while planting in mass creates an evocative space with repetition and rhythm. Punch ,up the drama with evergreen conifers or structural plants like yucca, cordyline or aloe. What to Buy/Plant- Explore grasses' which may appealto you such as Mexican feather, heavy metal switch grass, foun- tain, purple love, variegated ribbon, zebra, muhly, miscanthus (known as maiden grass) and carex, also called sedge. Other plants that can create the same effect are flax, bamboo, rushes and reeds, dianella, iris and lily. Prune/Propagate: Grasses usually do not require pruning during the growing season, but certain varieties will benefit from an occasional crewcut to promote new growth, espe- cially in early spring. Others will only require the removal of old flower stalks. As' we find ourselves at the end of the growing season, keep plants looking trim and tidy. Cut water sprouts and suckers from trees and remem- ber to use sterilized tools Give roses a midsummer pruning. Take semi-hardwood cuttings of shrubs whose stems.are staring to getwoody. SFeilizing: In keeping with the increasing overall aware- ness of environmental issues. we must make choices in fer- Scott at Jerry's Bait and Tackle said July was the best month on record for him and he wants to thank all of his customers. Right now he said it's slow and not many people are fishing either due to school starting, price of gas or the heat. Those who did go did fairly well., Kevin Tanner fished with Duane Alberti at the mouth of the St.'Marks River with live shrimp and they caught six nice. reds' and kept two. This was Kevin's first red but I'll bet it won't be the last. Jim Crosby and Carl Stubbs fished around Wakulla Beach with jigs and shrimp and caught two reds, two flounder and a 23 inch trout. Rudy utilizing practices that limit fer- tilizer misuse. Not all fertiliz- ers are alike when it comes,to Environmental impact, so I'd like to suggest some alterna- tives. Look for organic tontain- ing a 100 percent mineral base, with no fillers, and ingredients like fish bone or blood meal, kelp, and earthworm castings. Use low number ratios such as 3-9-6. r6 make your own nutri- ent-rich soil supplements by composting. An inch of com- post added to your garden each year is often all you need to maintain healthy soil. Compost components con- sist of food wastes you would otherwise throw in the trash. Nutrient rich householdcitems includee coffee grounds, which,' 4ovide nitrogen, and egg- shells, which provide calcium.,. Remember to omit meats and fats. Most importantly, ton't wait until plants are in need; keep plants green with slow- release organic fertilizers that nourish as they decompose. If your plants do lack good green leaf color, give them a quick boost of a liquid organic fertil- izer. Edibles: Plan your fall gar- den, start seeds in peat pots for transplanting later. Con- tinue harvesting tomatoes, peppers and eggplant. Pests: Continue to control weeds by cultivating and mulching. Use biological con- trols as much as possible. In- secticidal' soaps or horticul- tural oils should be applied only where the pests are lo- cated.. Check roses for. pests and disease, check sago palms for scale, look for large num- bers of moths and chewed grass blades (which are signs of sod webworms in lawns). Look for powdery mildew on dogwoods; spray with a fungi- cide, For Fun :Plant an evening garden to enjoy at the erid of the day. Night blooming flow- ers will bring beauty and a sweet scent through open win- dows.this fall. Check out your local nursery for night bloom- ing jasmine, Cestrum not- turnum, sweet peeper bush, Clethra, and Virginia sweet- spire known as Itea. Look for seeds of moonflower, ipomoea alba, and Nicotiana alata. Plant in beds or containers in loca- tions where they'll be most en- joyed. Ruling and Ken Glover fished the east flats with live shrimp and caught reds, blues and trout. This was also Rudy's first red. Keith Corbin was in about ,20 feet of 'water trolling a Mann's Stretch 18 and caught a 36 inch cobia, and Tim and Nancy Gordon,fished out of Carrabelle with live pinfish and caught two 12 pound grou- per. Ed McIntyre, one of my neighbors at Shell Point, built beautiful row boat and with the price of gas he says he's been using it quite a bit. Be- sides good exercise and being economical, he can get into some really shallow water. Yes- terday he was fishing around- Live Oak Island and hooked what he thought was a good fish. As it turned out, it was the biggest trout he had ever caught. It was 25 1/2 inches and weighed 5 pounds. Remember to take plenty of water with you and don't overdo it in the heat. Leave that float plan with someone and be careful out there. Good luck and good fishing!

Tom and Chuck Hickman have been a force to be reckoned with when it comes to our commu- nications. They have been working out in the hot sun to replace our damaged cable pnd make sure that we comply with the Coast Guard motto, "Sem- per Paratus (Always Prepared)" when in the communication trailer, Also an event at our meet- ing'was the award of the op- erational wreath to Carolyn Treadon for her new facility, "The Ddc B." This brings our "fleet" up to six facilities. As some may know, this is a tri- umph for us as we have been docked on some occasions due to lack of an operational facil- ity. One boater was grateful for the presence of the auxiliary, on Saturday. Our, coxswain, Mark Rosen, with Steve Hults and Bob Surdakowski as crew, came upon a 17 foot boat with a broken outboard motor. The boat was assisted to the docks at the fort. Their success is due to the ongoing training we complete when out on the water. To keep all of our skills sharp, we are holding a train- ing day on Saturday, Aug. 19. If you are out in the rivers, you may spot us practicing our per- son in the water, towing evo- lutions and other skills that make sure we are able to as- sist others successfully! To help out others on the water, we are holding one fi- nal Basic Navigation class on Aug. 26. The one day class will teach boaters how to plot a course using a chart and avoid danger areas in the event that electronic equipment fails. Anyone interested in partici- pating should contact Mark Rosen at 850-906-9933. Since an article appeared in an area newspaper recently, we have had a couple of people .

To address the limitations of a current communications system, the National Distress anti Response System (NDRS), the Coast Guard has imple- mented a recapitalization pro- gram entitled Rescue 21. When finished, Rescue 21 will replace a wide range of aging, obsolete radio communications equip- ment to include: Consoles at all Coast Guard activities, sectors, sta- tions, and Marine Safety Of- fices (about 270 facilities); All remote transeiver sites (antenna towers), as well as the network connecting them to the facilities above; Approximately 3,000 por- table radios; Outfit Coast Guard small boats with robust and up- graded communications suite. The Rescue 21 program is being done by General Dynam- ics, the company that bought Motorola in January 2001. The first area to get coverage was up on the eastern shore in Maryland. The system was ac- cepted for this area last Decem- ber (2005). Some of the system was activated for the New Orleans area after Katrina and then work was started on the Gulf Coast. As many of you know, we are special. The Intercoastal waterway starts in Boston and flows 3,000 miles on the coast, all the way to the Rio Grand in Texas. The only gap in the Intercoastal is 100 miles south .(Yankeetown) and 50 miles .east (St. George-Dog Island) of Shell Point. ' .The water is not deep enough, close to shore, to. support the boating traffic; When the sys- tem is implemented;there will. still be some areas in Apalachee Bay that will not be covered. The "high towers" at Shell Point and Cape San Bias will. transmit up to 25 miles but, because of the shape of the coast, this range is signifi- cantly reduced close to land. This is referred to as LRIP (low range initial production) by the Rescue 21 system. No new equipment is needed for you to benefit from Rescue 21. The.Coast Guard will con- tinue responding to distress calls from marine-band radios, to cell phones, flares, lights;' and flags. However, you can help us improve response time by using a marine-band radio equipped with digital selective calling (DSC). If properly regis- tered with a Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) num- ber and interfaced with GPS, the DSC radio signal transmits vital vessel information, posi- tion, and nature of distress (if entered) at the push of a but- ton. In. an emergency, one push of a button and your DSC ra- dio will send an automated digital distress alert containing your MMSI number and posi- tion to other DSC-equipped fIIweRANE*' 1 LLY 1.

Dr. Sav- ary's Exceptional Student Edu- cation office funds transporta- tion and competition costs for the students .who compete along with funds for supplies, registration fees, sports equip- ment, and uniforms. The total costs were more than $7,000 last school year. District-funded staff member Ashley Anderson organizes the Special Olympics events. "To support our exceptional students in this arena of Spe- cial Olympics is important," said Superintendent David Miller. "It's heartwarming to see the turnout of participants and supporters every spring when we hold the district tri- als at Wakulla High School.

On Monday, Aug. 7, county commissioners approved the extension of Blanchard's contract through March 2007. All of the commissioners expressed praise for the work done by Blanchard since his appointment in May. The former emergency manage- ment director was thrust into the position after former ad- ministrator Parrish Barwick was asked to resign by the board during a controversial special meeting held in early May. On Monday, Commissioner Ed Brimner asked board mem- bers to consider keeping Blan- chard on through the 2007 leg- islative session to create a bet- ter transition for the new county administrator. "Joe has done a superb job taking on this interim posi- tion," said Brimner. Brimner added that having Blanchard on board until the first quarter of 2007 will, allow the board to finish, work on the new bud- get in September and allow the new administrator to slowly jtimp into the post. .The spring months offer a better transition time for the county's top staff member to take the job, said Brimner. Commissioner Brian Lang- ston agreed, "He has proven himself to me," said Langston, who ,added that the spirit of cooperation between the coun- ty commissioner's office and the clerk of the court's office has never been better. Resident Luther Council ap- plauded the effort of Blanchard but added that a number of individuals have applied for, the post. Delaying the admin- istrative decision until the, spring is not fair to the candi- dates, he added. "The application process has closed," added resident Larry Roberts. "People applied in good faith. They thought the, job was open." S Commissioner Howard Kess- ler agreed with Council and FobeEts, "The.whole, zdeia vaa i to fill the position." he said. "We have an obligation to fill it and get on with a permanent administrator," SBoard members agreed to continue, the hiring process by putting together an interview committee with a board mem- ber. Brain Langston, and repre- sentatives picked by the other board members. The names of the interview , committee members selected by the board will be announc- ed at the Aug. 21 board meet- "Choices, choices..." Okay, you're ready to buy or sell. You're smart so you know you need an agent. What kind of questions should you ask prospec- tive agents? If selling, ask how the price would be established. You may request a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), which show's the market value of simi- lar homes in the area that are for sale or have recently sold. Also, 'ask how your property would be marketed. Susan Council u3: ~ i t How about communication? Ask how often you should expect to hear from him or her. Know how and when you will commu- nicate to avoid unrealistic ex- pectations. Pay attention to the agent's 'listening skills. There's nothing worse than looking at houses you have no interest in because the agent has not lis- tened carefully to your needs or having your home on the market too long because the wrong buy- ers are being targeted. Finally, ask the agent about fee struc- tures: If you are unsatisfied with pro-. spective plans or personalities, thank them for taking the time to meet with you, and repeat the process. It's time-consum- ing, but it's worthwhile to find the right agent. Or, do it the easy way and just call me for any of your real estate needs. Susan Council S(850) 251-1468 Broker Associate, RE/MAX Professionals ing, and commissioners hope to have recommendations of candidates for final interviews during the fall. The board also agreed to give Blanchard a $6,000 pay increase to bring his salary to $66,000, or the amount the board was paying Barwick at the time of his resignation. Blanchard said the county has received 27 applications for the position. He conduded that, he had originally hoped to re- tire by the end of 2006, but is happy to stay with the county until the early spring. In other matters in front of the Wakulla County Commis- sion Monday; Aug. 7: Commissioners conduct- ed the first meeting with the new policy of not broadcasting the Citizens to be Heard sec- tion of the meetings. A few resi-, dents spoke during the meet- ing-ending segment, including three who spoke about not being on television. . Commissioner Howard Kess- ler asked the board to consider broadcasting the blacked-out section' of the meeting,,but his request carried no support. Kessler stated that blacking out the Citizens to be Heard portion of the meeting creates a hardship on residents who are handicapped and can't come to meetings. Residents at home like to hear what their fellow citizens have to say, said Kessler. Chairman Maxie Lawhon told Kessler he would not take any public comment on the matter unless a motion'was'on the floor. Kessler made a mo- tion to reinstate the television broadcast during the blacked- out segment but failed to re- ceive a second to his motion. Commissioner Brimner orig- inally voted in the minority with Kessler to oppose the blacking out of the citizens sec- Our July 2006 Top Lister Linda Pitz 510-3191 Crawfordv IMLS. (850) 926- ille ; 9261 tion. But Brimner said bringing up issues that have already been voted on requires a mo- tion from a member of the pre- vailing side of the vote. Kessler should not have made a motion since he was not on the prevailing side dur- ing the July vote, Brimner said. "Constantly bringing (items) back creates disorder on the board." Resident Victor Lambou told the board they had no right to censor portions of the meeting and require Comcast to shut down the camera. However, Wakulla County Attorney Ron Mowrey said residents taping public meetings and Comcast publicly broadcasting the meet- ings are two different issues, Resident Glen Wade said moving citizens to the end of the meeting discourages pub- lic input and requires residents to wait as many as five or six hours before being allowed to speak to the board on non-' agenda items. Virginia Brock said many residents want to 'hear what their neighbors are saying at board meetings and they can no longer do it without com- ing to the board chambers. David Rossetti 591-6161 4.*t i'"*. Commissioner Maxie Law- hon responded that a small group of residents used the televised portion of the meet- ing to "grandstand" and "show- boat" while attempting to be confrontational with commis- sioners. Commissioners held a workshop to discuss the county purchasing policies. Commis- sioner Kessler asked Blanchard, Clerk.Brent Thurmond and other members of the budget and finance committee to de- velop new.language for an up- dated purchasing ordinance.

"Personally, I'm hopeful that the mayor will be sincerely look- ing at a range of options leading to real solutions," Leppert said. "Not just political solutions, but solutions to the water quality problem." Friends President Della Parker Hanson said she was surprised but pleased with the city's announcement. She noted that studies showed that water from the sprayfield was reach- ing Wakulla Springs in a matter of days, not months or years as some had predicted because, of the slow speed of groundwater in other locations. Tallahassee Mayor. John Marks was asked at the Friday press conference if the with- drawal of the permit application was a concession that the legal challenges had merit. Marks answered: "No, no, we're con- ceding that we need to take a look. What we know now, we need to go forward and just- move forward in it." City Manager Anita Favors Thompson acknowledged that it would be "disingenuous" to move forward with the applica- tion. "We need to just step up and do the right thing," Favors Thompson said. The withdrawal of the ap- plication was prompted by the preliminary findings of a study being conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey that'showed St IIIIllllllllllllllllll llM iIIillllIIIIIIIH iIIII- I -COAST - | Charter School Free Public School Individualized Instruction SStrong Academic Program : Character Development' Art* Music* PE STechnology Dance S Hands-on En\ ironmental Actii lles J,.iri.Le Obser\ation Tank -. |4 .'"Butteril\ Gardeins Free & Reduced Breakfast & Lunch School Bus Transportation ENROLL NOW!!

Mayor Marks noted that the study showed ground- water moving faster toward the springs than had been thought. An earlier study conducted by geologists Tim Hazlett and Todd Kincaid showed through a dye trace that there was a direct link between the city sprayfield and Wakulla Springs. Within the Woodville Karst, the swiss cheese-like area of sand and limestone located roughly from the Tallahassee airport south through Wakulla County, there is not a layer of clay to protect the aquifer, Sinkholes are open portals to the aquifer. The city's sprayfield was developed in the 1980s as a way to use treated wastewater to irrigate a hay crop, grown to feed cattle on the farm. The facility won numerous awards in the past for its innovative techniques, but has drawn in- creasing criticism lately for its location in the karst plain. Tallahassee recently ordered cattle removed from the farm and has stopped adding fer- tilizer to the soil for the hay crop.

The paid staff would all be certified as first responders. The idea, presented by David Harrison, president of Wakulla County United Firefighters As- sociation, is to have two fire- fighters at the stations in Craw- ford-ville, Medart and Wakulla Station. Those locations account for 80 percent of the fire calls, Harrison said. Commissioners considered trying to, stagger the hiring, with a thief and some firefight- ers being brought on in January, then the others in the spring. That could save the county $100,000 this year. Clerk of Courts Brent Thur- mond pointed out to the public that having stations with pro- fessional firefighters would not .lower fire insurance, for home- owners, but, he said, "at least fire insurance won't go up," Meanwhile, the budget for the county's ambulance service is projected to increase over 50 percent to'more than $1.5 mil- lion most of which is for sala- ries and operating expenses. Emergency Medical Services Director Fran Councill request- ed six additional personnel, but commissioners talked her down to four one paramedic, one emergency medical technician and two supervisors to staff the new substation. The cost of that ii more than $200,000 with salaries and benefits. The new ambulance station is being constructed north of Crawfordville using one-cent sales tax and impact fees. Council also requested a five percent salary adjustment for her personnel to keep'their pay competitive with surrounding counties. Currently, EMTs are paid $&67: an hour and paramedics receive $10.40 an hour. Those personnel collect 16 hours a week in overtime, which boosts the annual pay of an EMT to $31,000 and a paramedic to ,,$37,40,0.

The finance.department of the Clerk of Courts office has been brought in to work with the county administrator and com- missioners. A county Budget and Finance Committee has been meeting regularly with depart- ment heads to discuss budget needs. At last week's workshop, Clerk of Court Brent Thurmond and his financial staff operated a computer program that allowed commissioners to work on bud- get numbers projected onto two big screens. When commission- ers changed the figures in the budget's line items, the program automatically changed the bot- tom line. Since the clerk's office is, by ,state law, the auditor of the board's money -the clerk cuts the checks for the county the clerk's office took funds spent through the end of June and multiplied them out to show the real expenditures for each of the departments. That enabled the board to question each request by department heads, and to cut those items deemed unneces- sary. But interim County Adminis- trator Joe Blanichard warped com- missioners that there were rio built-in "pots of money" in the proposed budget. County Commissioner Ed Brimner pointed to the openness of this year's budgeting process - unlike last year when citizens. confronted commissioners with budget questions and requests at the final hearing that the board was unprepared to respond to.

The county Building Depart- ment seeks to spend $100,000 for a building that would put that department and the county Planning Department back un- der one roof. "The Building Department and Planning Department need to be back together again - rather than customers running around the buildings," Building Official John Ross told commis- sioners. Commission Chairman Maxie Lawhon was less than convinced of the need for the construction. "You're still only 40 feet apart," he told Ross. Ross is anticipating revenues of more than $800,000 in his department, which is funded by fees paid by builders. The money generated by the Build- ing Department can be spent only on that department's functions. Ross told commissioners he is also proposing to spend $15,000 on an operational au- Sdit. Revenues for Wakulla County include $500,000 from the state after being designated as a fis-; cally constrained county by the legislature. Another revenue that's pro-, jected to rise this year is,the money the sheriff's office takes in for housing prisoners at the, Wakulla County Jail, which is' expected to bring in $2.7 mil-" lion or $125,000 over the cur-, rent year. The first public hearing is. set for Sept. 12, with a Sept. 26 final hearing to approve the budget. -' CenturyPark...while others spend, you invest. Century Park- LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!

THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Aug. 10, 2006-Page 17 Crouch Continued from Page 1 A key to that success, Crouch believes, will be fostering a more professional atmosphere in the high school. Just days before the start of the 2006 school year, Crouch and his staff were waiting for new carpeting to be installed as well as other cosmetic enhance- ments. Those additions were long overdue, Crouch said. While the school's appear- ance might not have a tangible effect on the learning process, the new principal believes it is essential to maintaining a positive spirit for staff and students. "I think faculty morale is important," Crouch said. "I want our teachers to enjoy the workplace." Along those same lines, Crouch said he will insist on a respectful environment. "You'll never see me hol- lering and screaming in the hallways," Crouch said. "But by the same token, I'll expect the respect from the students to the teachers as well as the teachers to the students." Crouch also plans to be extremely visible at school and in the community. "I'm not going to be in the office very much," Crouch said. "I'm going to be out in the halls. I'm not going to be a micromanager - I'm going to let the teachers do their jobs. But I don't want to be ignorant of what our needs are in the school. And the only way to do that is to be a part of it." C rouch also wants to help the high school become more connected to the community. He already has put into place plans for youth football tepms to be recognized at Wakulla High games this season. Though he has been princi- pal for just a short time, Crouch said he has been approached by several parents who believe uni- forms would help the student body focus on education. And the principal said such a move would be considered if students do not adhere to the dress code this year. "If it will help the kids focus and it's for the betterment of their education, then fine. That's the best solution," Crouch said. "But I want kids to be individu- Plant Continued from Page 1 should be used. Linnan said the project will come back to the county as a large scale Comprehensive Plan amendment of more than 10 acres. The meeting, she said, will "get a dialog going and get it out on the table." Commissioner Howard Kess- ler said the water issue is so emotionally charged that a referendum should be used to judge public opinion. "I believe the Highs have a proposal worth exploring," said DeFoor. "The Highs have the right to put forward alter- natives. We need to tone down the rhetoric and look at the science." DeFoor said he wanted to make sure the format of the meeting avoids turning the workshop intoo a food fight." He suggested inviting the me- diator down to Crawfordville to run the discussion. If the project goes through a large scale Comprehensive Plan amendment, the Florida Department of Community Af- fairs will also have to sign off on the project in addition to the county commission. DeFoor concluded that the Highs have some creative ideas that could benefit the entire region such as revenue sharing with the county to allow the board to address septic tank concerns in the Shadeville area not far from Wakulla Springs State Park. als. It's important for kids at that age to be individuals. "We only changed one thing in the dress code this year - we added that you can't wear low-cut shirts. That's the only change. The only difference is that we are going to enforce the dress code this year very strictly. Because I want the kids to be able to focus in class. And if kids are not dressed properly, they're not going to focus on their work." Crouch doesn't come from "a traditional administrator's background. He worked in the private sector for 11 years before beginning his teaching career in Liberty County 17 years ago, Crouch joined the Wakulla County district in 1993 and served as band director at Wakulla High for seven years. He transferred to Riversprings Middle in 2000 so that he could devote the necessary time to administrative training, and he was an assistant principal there for the past four years.. "Having been a teacher is a great advantage, I think," Crouch said. "You know how, you saw principals. During all those years, I was always think- ing about going into administra- tion. So I was thinking about my vision and what my plan would be and what my style should be." Though Wakulla High hasn't fared as well in state testing as some of the lower-level schools, Crouch is adamant that the fu- ture is bright. ="You can see from the very top down that everyone cares ,greatly about education here," Crouch said; "And that's what I love. When I wake up every morning, I don't ever dread going to work. As cliche as it sounds, this: is the best place in the world to work." 4 commerciala i Mobile Homes S (850) 421-3012 ERO15233 24-Hour Service LEGAL NOTICE ROAD CLOSING NOTICE IS GIVEN that a public hearing will be held by the Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners on September 5, 2006, beginning at 6:00 p.m. or as soon as thereafter as time permits in the County Commission Chambers located west of the Courthouse at 29 Arran Rd., Crawfordville, Florida, to consider a request to close Daniel Lane, a roadway lying South of High Drive between #97 and #109 High Drive, located in Crawfordville, Wakulla County, Florida.

On Sunday, Aug. 6, the Crawfordville department was dispatched to a structure fire at the Tobacco Barn located at 2543 Crawfordville Highway. A sheriff's office deputy, on scene before the fire department's ar- rival, knocked the fire down with an extinguisher. The fire department continued on to the scee and used its fans to remove smoke from the build- ing. On Tuesday, Aug'. 1, the Medart, Panacea and Apalachee Bay volunteer fire departments participated in an exercise ad- ministered by the Wakulla County Department of Emer- gency Management entitled "Operation Secure School." The purpose was to test the effec- tiveness of the county's emer- gency response agencies to ef- fectively work and communi- cate together as a unified force. The exercise was designed t9 mimic what could be a real life situation. It involved a group of three "shooters" en- tering the Wakulla High School library with assault rifles tak, ing students and teachers hos- tage. The fire departments were called to participate be- cause a fire was purposely cre- ated as a part of the exercise. Following the exercise a. debriefing was conducted with the participants to discuss pro- cedures that worked well and those that needed to be im- proved. Overall, the exercise was declared a success. Fire Safety For Babysitters When you leave your home and children ,in the care of babysitters, you're leaving the babysitter with responsibility for their safety and well-being. You must be sure your babysitter takes basic fire prevention pre- ca'utions and that they know what to do in the event of an emergency. Leave the number where you can be contacted in case of an emergency. Be certain your sitter knows how to con- tact the fire rescue and other emergency agencies (911). Do you have a 9-1-1 sticker on your telephone? Write down the address of your home so that the babysitter can identify the lo- cation of the emergency in the event he or .she calls using a cell phone rather than a land line phone. Leave the name and num- ber of a neighbor or relative the babysitter can contact if unable to reach you. Be sure the babysitter can recognize the smoke alarm sound. Give' the babysitter the basic outline of the floorplan of your home with two exits marked as escapes from each room. Be sure your children know these escapes from ev- ery room. Tell the babysitter what your children have been instructed to do in case of fire: Ask the babysitter to keep phone calls short so incoming calls aren't blocked. Wakulla County needs vol- unteer firefighters There's a volunteer fire department close to where you live and the local fire chief would be,inter- ested in talking to you about becoming a firefighter or aux- iliary member with that de- partment.

SWAT Team Trains At Wakulla High Four teachers and 25 stu- dents were taken hostage at Wakulla High School Tuesday, Aug. 1 during a mock disaster exercise held by the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office, volun- teer firefighters and emergency medical service personnel, The training program, "Op- eration Safe Schools," not only gave the sheriff's office SWAT team practical experience, but also gave the school system administration an opportunity to ;view how a mock crisis might be handled. The exercise was held in conjunction with the school system, Sheriff David Harvey and Superintendent David Miller. Captain Jim Griner said an independent consultant graded the efforts of law enforcement staff and others who respond- ed to the Columbine, CO pat- terned' school shooting.

"We will receive a written evaluation in the coming weeks. We saw some areas where we were strong and some areas that need strength- ening." In the event of an actual emergency, law enforcement officials would have closed off U.S. Highway 98 from the Medart intersection to the rec- reation park to limit access to the school since'the mock sce- nario included "active shoot- ers."

A class action lawsuit was filed by Randolph Nelson and others asking the circuit court to refund MSBUs that were found to be unconstitutional since undeveloped property derived no benefit from EMS protection. Residents were charged $35 per parcel for the EMS service whether anyone lived on the property or not. Mowrey and his assistant, Steve Mitchell, told the com- mission that the settlement agreement must still be ap- proved by Wakulla County Cir- cuit Court Judge N. Sanders Sauls. However, the county agreed to pay out $685,000 which includes legal fees for the class action attorneys and refund money. Mowrey said Wakulla Coun- ty residents do not have to be- come part of the class action suit, but for those who are part of the legal action, they can expect to get a small refund during the 2007 MSBU cycle. The court proceeding whit- tled down the 18 year collec- tion period to four years and Mowrey estimated the refund credit at approximately $10 to- tal per household. The details of how the refund willbe ap- plied in 2007 are still to be de- termined by the court, said Mowrey. Both Mowrey and Mitchell told board members that the settlement represented a po- tential savings of $1 million to $2 million and several more years of litigation. "It is a fa- vorable settlement for the county," said Mitchell. Commissioners voted .un- animously to approve the settlement.

The board avoided Wednesday, Sept. 6 due to church commit- ments. The board approved a resolution recognizing the Na- tional Incident Management Systems (NIMS) as the manage- ment system used in Wakulla County, Emergency Manage- ment Director Scott Nelson said the federal government has required a uniform response system across the country in order for the county to receive federal Homeland Security grants.
