And like other little girls, she loves Disney princesses and dressing up.-She likes pink, and pizza and Coke. To look at her, you'd never guess that Hannah's sick. But Hannah has an inoper- able tumor on her brain stem. She was diagnosed shortly af- ter Memorial Day,and has spent her summer getting radiation treatment to try to shrink the tumor. One percent of children who get this type of cancer diffuse pontine glioma survive it. The usual life expectantcy after diag- nosis is one to five years. Hannah's mother, Lisa Deal, says that Hannah doesn't know what's wrong with her, only that she's sick. She isn't in pain or suffering.

Lisa is originally from Crawfordville, and attended Crawfordville Elementary and Wakulla Middle School before she and her parents moved to Tallahassee. Her parents, the Hebenthals, recently moved back to Crawfordville. Everything with Hannah has happened so suddenly, Lisa says as she holds her 11-month- old son, Matthew. On Memorial Day, Lisa no-* ticed Hannah's eye was partially closed and that she was walk- ing crooked. A week later, after numerous visits to doctors for tests, Hannah had an MRI and the tumor was found. Please turn to Page 24 Hospital Pushes For Trauma Center Wakulla County's mortality rate foi trauma victims ranked third worst in the state ofi Florida, according to -recently released statistics, from Talla- hassee Memorial HealthCare. TMH Chief Communications Officer Warren Jones and Freda Lyon of the trauma unit ap- peared before the Wakulla Count) Commission Monday, Aug. 7. to discuss what Tal- lahassee Memorial Hospital is. planning to do to improve the statistics and what the commis- sion can do financially to help TMH reach its goals. Hardee County led the state in highest mortality rate fol- lowed by Jefferson County, Wakulla, Gadsden, Calhoun and Leon. TMH serves residents in all of the six highest-ranked counties except Hardee. Lyon said hospital officials are attempting to get financial: contributions from surrounding counties that are not already supporting hospital facilities within their borders. She said TMH hopes to have a new trauma center in place by Octo- ber 2007. A state appropriation in the 2006-2007 budget made it through the legislative ses- sion but was vetoed by Gov. Jeb Bush. "The results indicate a sta- tistically significantly better outcome for patients who pre- sented with injuries in trauma centers," said Jones. He added that the trauma center will al- low the hospital to "be well prepared" when traumapatients arrive during "the golden hour." The golden hour is the first hour when medical officials hope to treat patients for the most posi- tive recovery. Only Leon County had more trauma patients taken to TMH in the study period than Wa- kulla. Even larger Gadsden County had the same number of patient cases as Wakulla. "The figures spoke for themselves," said Jones; "Twelve percent of the cases are from Wakulla County." Lyon added that the trauma center will be prepared to con- duct public outreach programs on topics such as injury preven- tion and the dangers of drinking and driving. The startup cost is expected to reach $1.4 million. Operations costs will also top $1 million annually. Jones asked county commis- sioners to become a hospital partner and pledge a financial contribution during the budget planning process. Board members said they would take the matter into consideration. The 2006-2007 budget pro- cess is well under way, and the commission will hold two public hearings on the proposed millage and budget in Septem- ber.The new budget year begins on Sunday, Oct. 1, and continues until Sept. 30, 2007.

Victory tastes sweet. Especially when it brings with it great rewards. But after observing the actions of our northern neighbors for the past few years of this saga, we would encourage trepidation before celebration, While it's certainly encouraging to hear that Tallahas- see's leaders have acknowledged the nitrates from their sprayfield are contaminating Wakulla Springs, we're not yet ready to accept this latest permit decision as a sign of good faith. Call us old-fashioned, but trust is something that must be earned. And when it comes to this matter, the City of Tallahassee has languished for years with a zero bal- ance. Despite an assortment of empirical and anecdotal evidence, Tallahassee officials have worked overtime to avoid any hint of responsibility. They've always wanted to hear from one more scientist; see one more study. Even this past May, when a consulting firm placed dye in the sprayfield and it showed up in the springs just five weeks later, Tallahassee leaders refused to act. They needed more evidence, they said. For years, the best assur- ance Wakulla County could wrangle out of the capital city was a commitment that leaders there would "do the right thing" if government scientists proved that the sprayfield was a direct cause of the springs' problems, Well, the U.S. Geological Survey did just that. In a pre- liminary test, the USGS determined that nitrogen from Tallahassee's sprayfield was reaching the springs at an alarming rate. And finally, the city's leaders say they un- derstand there's a problem. Now, we will see whether or not they, live up to their promise. Will they wait for additional tests and hope for a less conclusive finding? And if that comes, will they then try to push forward without makigi any major changes? Or will they do -- in'their words the right thing?" Judging by the city's initial press conference, during which Mayor John Marks and his staff announced they were pulling their permit request, it's difficult to be very optimistic. Instead of using that forum to express remorse for the damage caused to our springs one of the state's remain- ing natural treasures -:Marks and company inexplicably tried to use the episode to paint their leadership with a positive brush. Repeatedly, they praised themselves for remanding their permit request, as if that was some sort of magnanimous gesture. The reality is that their permit likely would have been denied anyway,,and they certainly knew that. We can't help but think the decision was based more on saving time and money that it was sparing Wakulla Springs. If that sounds harsh, Mr, Marks, then prove us wrong. Do the right thing. Clean up your mess ... and the one you've created for us. Pay restitution for all of the time, money and resources Wakulla and its citizens have de- voted to this effort. Listen to what the scientists recomin- mend and then take it a step further. Go beyond the minimum specifications. Do the right thing. Earn our trust, We're waiting. Correction In the Thursday, Aug. 10, edition of The Wakulla News, a disclaimer for a political adver- tisement for county commission candidate George N. Green was incorrect. The disclaimer should have said the advertisement was "paid for by supporters and approved by George N. Green, candidate for Wakulla County Commissioner, District 2, Demo- crat." We regret the error. Removing Water Is A Mistake Government Editor, The News: I moved here from Atlanta six years ago because I wanted to raise my family in a natural environment while it was still pristine. I had grown up seeing urban sprawl destroy natural places of beauty where people would gather. The beautiful rolling green pastures along the banks of an unpolluted (at the time) Chattahoochee River, where I swam, rafted, and rode horses, gave way to subdivisions, strip shopping centers,, and light industrial development. Joni Mitchell's song was a hit at the time with the lyric, "They 'paved paradise, and put up a parking lot." When I came to this area, I originally thought that the area had been preserved through oversight, planning, and lead-. ership of the local people who loved the land. I could tell there had been some planning with the way Azalea and Hudson Parks were laid out as a part of a central town area. Then, with the water issue at Wakulla Springs, I realized that the de- velopers and the forces of greed just hadn't arrived yet; It has been with great dismay to watch, not only as I grew up, but now, development gone awry and haphazard growth. I thought that with a local trea- sure of Wakulla Springs, that the local, regional, 'state, and even federal government would preserve and honor it., Wakulla Springs is a state and national treasure, even international. It only takes traveling to other great wonders of nature, in state and national Letters parks around the country, to see that Wakulla Springs is on par with all of them. I haven't seen or heard of any industrial businesses near any of these other great parks-the Grand Canyon, the redwood forests in California, Yellow- stone, the Smoky and Rocky mountains-and the list goes on and on, too many to mention here. Their local governments have preserved them. And I don't know of any of these other great preserved parks where they want to take resources out of them to be sold commercially as in the current water issue (except perhaps some old tiriber growth 'in the Pacific northwest, which has been battled). The Wakulla Springs water issue is just as significant as any other national water issue-like the Colorado River's diversion across the desert to provide water for southern California, or the Chattahoochee/Flint/Apala- chicola water wars, amongst others in our country. It is common sense that the springs would be devastated with water being removed, as would the aquifer all around and below it, below all of us, just as science states that a reduction in the flow would damage and destroy the, oyster beds in the Apalachicola River Basin. There are water wars and legal battles across our country concerning splitting the flow of rivers. I'm surprised we haven't learned from these histori- cal cases and from the urban sprawl of other areas. Scientists and residents I have talked to can't believe this issue with the springs is still under con- sideration. We all expect the leader- ship of our county to do the right thing. As part of a general populace, we elect them to of- fice to oversee such issues that we don't have time to address. We expectour leaders to handle these issues as they come up, with vision, foresight, integrity, and to care about the future of our land and its resources. We want our elected officials to represent true statesmanship, and see beyond just a myopic viewpoint. As I talk to resi- dents in the area, I'm sensing a groundswell of interest and momentum in the right thing being done in preserving our treasured resources. We strongly urge that you oppose removal of water from our aquifer in any type of industrial/commercial devel- opment. - Janice McFarland S Crawfordville Water Plant Not A Problem Editor, The News" Well, I see I need to put my two cents in here now that for the last two years I have heard nothing but how bad this bot- tling plant idea is. First, have any of you been to a water bottling plant? Have any of you ever visited a spring in operation that is pumping out water to be bottled, then put into tankers to be shipped out? Have any of you driven one of those "giant" tankers? I didn't think so, and yet some of you think you know it all about this business. Well Mr. High, I hope you get your wishes and I personally would be honored to work for you. I think I am more qualified to speak on this matter than some others who have written, about this topic. For 10 years in Arkansas, I drove those "giant" tankers. I used to haul loads of water out of the same spring that had been in operation 30 years be- fore I ever thought about haul- ing water. Did you know that (spring never "dried" up? Not only that, I know the people who operate that spring, and I've been talking to them lately. And they tell me that now they are shipping water to every part of this country. Oh, may I add, the soldiers from Desert Storm and the first Gulf War were thankful to have our spring water to drink in that hot, hostile place over there. Yes, Bob and Barbara Gillis are friends of mine there in Ar- kansas and have operated that spring for nearly 40 years now. No one has ever had to "dodge" our tankers, drill new wells, or "walk" across the creek that the spring flows into. For two years, I have hauled water out of Bristol and Ver- non to the Madison plant in Lee, FL. That is about 100 miles east of here. Before you go off again, why don't you and the three coun- ty commissioners go see for yourselves White Springs in Bristol and talk to the owner Bill Cobbs, See if we ran that spring dry. And while you are at it, ask Mr. Cobbs about Cy- prus Springs in Vernon to see if we ran that spring dry. You think for one minute that we're going to "walk" across Wakulla River? Oh boy, spare me the jokes. I've been there and done that and you think you can pull the wool over this Cajun's eyes. Mr. High is only going to get just a small part of the millions of gallons that is just flowing in the Gulf of Mexico, just as we did in Arkansas, Bristol and Vernon. There are many other springs in this world that have been supplying people who re- ally need the water and never have those springs dried up as you claim. I have hauled many loads of water around this country, many times to benefit our sol- diers as well as for the people in many natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes. Yes, even when disaster struck, we took loads of water ,to the hospitals' as they were out of their own wa- ter and needed it to save peo- ple's lives. And you're going to, Write such hog wash and think that I'm going to take it sitting down? Please go to Bristol and talk to Mr. Cobbs. If you like I will go with you and we can show you the operation and answer any of your questions. 'Better yet, I think our county commis- sioners should go talk to Mr. Cobbs. I. think you will have a different idea about the whole issue at hand the employ- ment, the renewable resource water provides, the economy it helps in the county, the taxes that are brought into the coun- ty we need.this plant. I have yet to see a plant like this put coal dust into the air. I have yet to see a plant like this put pollutants into.our water. I've yet to see a plant like this kill the environment and wild- life. That's something to think about.

In County $25, Out of County $30 :iOut of State $35, Out of Country on Request Editor, The News: This letter is written to ex- plain why I believe we should re-elect Becky Cook to the Wakulla County School Board. Becky's parents, Sue and Henry; became, close friends with Beverly and I while Becky was still in diapers. We visited their home and they visited us many times as Becky was growing up. She had a kind. loving family who sincerely cared for others. I've watched Becky mature and become a very intelligent lady with a strong commitment to her family, church and com- munity. She works almost full- time as a school board member serving the Wakulla County Schools. I managed the business affairs of the Wakulla County School System many years and I currently manage Wakulla County Senior Citizens pro- grams. I continue to maintain a dose association with our school ad- ministration because I have a sincere personal interest in the success of our schools, It's for these reasons that I think Becky Cook should be re-elected to our school board. Our schools have been greatly enhanced by her leadership and hard work and we need her there. RH. Carter Crawfordville another term!

Be- cause of thegrowth of our county and the controversy of the last few years it is vital to public sentiment and participa- tion. Bravo to the BOCC on their decision to stop mediation and handle the High proposal as a new project. With the determi- nation and effort of the Highs, one can safely conclude there must be a substantial amount of money to be made. The Wakulla News did not report that the negotiations between the BOCC and Mr. DeFoor concerning the bottled water plant took place during the Citizens to be Heard section of the meeting. An agreement was reached to have a work- shop, a motion was made and almost concluded before one commissioner pointed out this was inappropriate. It was then agreed to add it to the next meet- ing agenda. Now, I respect the ability of the board to negotiate when it sees fit, however here was a missed opportunity for the board to foster its feelings on this project. Mr. DeFoor pre- sented valuable information that the citizens needed to hear, 15 minutes worth. Sometimes, the citizen, or group of citizens, need more than three minutes to redress their grievances. This is just one example of the value.of complete openness that complete broadcast would have brought to the commission, as well as the citizen. SThe workshop on the agenda, for Aug. 21 will further address the ability of theicitizens to.get on the agenda of a commission meeting and redress grievances, I urge you to be there, for these decisions will affect our ability to participate in local government for a long time to come. We must hold precious the govern- mental legacy we leave for our children. I look forward to peaceful conversations concerning the broadcast and the upcoming discussion on the agenda. Rules and regulations during commis- sion meetings are needed and must apply to.all citizens and commissioners; the dismantling of public access to meetings and redress of grievances is not the way to handle this situation. At the very least, the restric- tion of broadcast is a violation of the spirit of the Sunshine Law and moral laws of nature instilled in our hearts by the spirit of the Lord whom is the source of all power. Keep praying for our county, its leaders and its citizens. Daniel Thompson ForeFathersPen@aol.com Sopchoppy New Blood Not Needed On Board Editor, The News: The Wakulla County School Board has done one of the best jobs in the state, Just look at the counties surrounding us, except Leon County, and we rank above Leon County in a lot of areas. I ask you, do you want a board that you know is good or a board that you think may be good? I do not think we need to change, This board works together as a team and they get things done. They stay ahead of the game, acquiring more land for new schools, getting rid of temporary classrooms and taking care of our teachers.

You'll Save Time & Money Same Quality & Service In Loving Memory of Ron Stock May 14, 1948 August 17, 1994 The Enduring Spirit A great truth of my awareness in the human condition is the prevailing spirit of mankind. To recognize that spirit, which dwells from birth to death within the human condition, is my supremacy. For that spirit is akin to my human process, until the imparities of the physical existence are tested to the last. As long as I dwell on this earth, I shall rejoice. For I am no more, nor no less, than the living spirit which is encompassed within the living bounds of the human being. And I rejoice to the supremacy for the human condition bestowed to my spirit, in what is to my awareness, a miraculous accord. The accord shall perish in human death, with the spirit released to everlasting endurance. ~ Ronald Carey Stock 1973 .

S- Wakulla Station i It* Page 8-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Aug. 17, 2006 Volunteers Come From All Over Chef David Harvey Was One Of Three Cooks Who Donated Time Williams Helps His Hometown, By IRA SCHOFFEL Of The Wakulla News Shopping for school sup- plies can be a financial burden for any family, but especially for those who are less fortu- nate. With that in mind, former Crawfordville resident Trave Williams joined forces with New Vision Deliverance min- istry to supply nearly 100 area children with $60 worth bf sup- plies to start the new school year. S"I decided I wanted to come back to my roots," said Will- iams, who initiated similar pro- grams in Lakeland, where he operates a wood sales busi- ness.. "I wanted to do some- thing for the kids here." Williams, who graduated from Shadeville High Schoolin 1957, started his first charity effort in 2003 in Lakeland by purchasing Christmas gifts for 25 children all from his own pocket. After reaching out to the pri- vate sector, Williams' group, Big Hearted Angels, raised enough funds to help 126 chil- dren in 2004 and 104 in.2005. But after speaking with his -cousin Marilyn Harvey, who is a member of New Visioni De- liverance, Williams decided to bring his effort back home. "Wakulla County has a lot of underprivileged children," Harvey said. "And when we went down to Lakeland and saw what he was doing with the Big Hearted Angels spon- soring those kids for Christmas -- he thought it would be a good idea to do the same thing W - here. And my sister and I jumped right in because we saw the need." Harvey is the chairperson for the event and her sister, Rosaphine Harvey, is a commit- tee member. After raising funds for sev- eral months, the organizers took 94 children to Wal-Mart on Saturday morning for a free shopping spree. Last year, dur- ing the inaugural event, they assisted 66 youths., "Wal-Mart set up two shop- ping lanes so that nobody could shop through them.but our kids," Williams said. Said Marilyn Harvey: "The kids were so excited." The children were allowed; to purchase $60 worth of sup- plies and/or clothes for school. Afterward, the children and the families returned to Hudson Park for a picnic and gathering. Though Wakulla County children were the beneficiaries of the event, most of the money actually came from Lakeland and Polk County, Williams said. He personally sponsored 25 children which amounted to $1,500 and Polk citizens and business leaders donated enough to pay for 40 more. Several members of Will- iams' church in Lakeland, Har- mony Missionary Baptist, along with Pastor Steve Caudle also made the trip to Crawford- ville to help with the event. "When Trave approached me with this idea two years ago, I thought he was a one- man show," said Wakulla County School Superintendent David Miller, who was one of several local officials that at- tendec the event, "To have all these people make this trip, it's phenomenal." Williams, who is the young- est son of Silas Williams and Charity Williams of Mount Olive also used his business connections to give the event a first-class feel. Because his company supplies all of the wood for Talk of the Town Restaurant Group in central Florida, the restaurant chain. donated enough chicken breast and steak for as many as 400 people. Local residents David Harvey, Patrick Harvey and Richard Franklin Jr. donated their cater- ing services. Wal-Mart also donated hun- dreds of hot dogs, buns, water bottles. and sodas. Though several of the guest speakers at the event praised Williams and his wife, Sarah Gladys Williams, for their ef- forts, he said most of the credit should go to the volunteers and businesses 'that partici- pated as well as New Vision Deliverance. 'They're a small church, but they've'got big hearts," Will- iams said. Harvey said the organizers hope to make an even larger push next year and will soon establish an account at Wakulla Bank to accept contributions all year long. Call Harvey at 962-7893 for more information. "We want to make it bigger and bigger every year," Will- iams said. By MARJ LAW Of Keep Wakulla County Beautiful You are invited to the Inter- national Coastal Cleanup on Sept. 16. Volunteers from all over this area will come to Keep. Wakulla County Beauti- ful (KWCB) sites to pick up trash. Our volunteers are spe- cial. They understand that trash along our beaches harms people and harms small ani- mals and birds alike. One volunteer flies in from Atlanta. She has a summer cot- tage in Franklin County. A group from Panama City comes to participate, too. Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts earn service badges for their hard work. The cleanup is a massive effort to rid our beaches of trash and to let our young folk under- stand how important it is to take personal responsibility for the environment. Volunteers can check in at many sites around the county. Look for the FedEx truck and all the KWCB signs. Sites will be well marked. One site is the boat land- ing by the fort at St. Marks. There are many canals by the roadside, and they can be full of cans, bottles and other de- bris. The park by the bridge at Newport has been closed, but this is another KWCB site. The St. Marks River borders the park. When we have storms, rivers rise. Rivers collect the debris on riverbanks and the adjacent land as well. The trash moves downward with the river into the gulf. The Shell Point site is a fa- vorite because most of us en- joy the water. Look for the ga- zebo and the FedEx truck. Don't forget to bring water. This site can. get hot. There are few trees.in thebeach area. Panacea's Woolley Park site is not quite on Highway 98, but we'll have our sign there, showing volunteers the loca- tion of the park. This is a work site as well as the after-party festivity site. We'd like every- one who cleans to take advan- tage our EMBARQ (formerly Sprint) hot dog luncheon. It's special to eat hot dogs in the park while waiting for the "Weigh Your Butts" contest. We'll give cash prizes to the group or individual who picks up the most cigarette butts. You'll find volunteers from the Florida Coastal Manage- ment program at the Mashes Sand site. Boat landings; marsh roads, fishing piers and hard- to-reach places abound in Mashes Sand. FCMP volunteers will welcome others to help clean up secret places in the park. The Wakulla River is the site for the underwater cleanup.

MARKS NEWS By Linda Walker Hi neighbors, what a beau- tiful town we live in, even with all of the rain we've been get- ting. I figure the flowers, plants and people must need all of this water so we are blessed. Maybe it will drown the nosee- ums and mosquitoes. Ha, ha- that ain't gonna happen. But the rain sure does make the grass grow. Seems like it is no time after Jimmy cuts it before I have to hire a safari guide to find my way out. Listen up people, some- times I don't get everything in our column exactly as you wanted it but this is not done on purpose. My column some- times gets edited for different reasons and then you have to stop and think about who is writing this column! I want to tell you something, so grab hold of a chair or something! I am not perfectly There, I said it. I know it busted a lot of bubbles but the truth is out. I do try to include everything you ask in our column but mis- takes happen. Neighbor alert If you see an extra pair of angel wings float- ing around out there please give them to Rod and Donna Strickland for all of the hard, Tom Wollschlager, D.M.D. hot work they and Everett Rob- erts did to help Edwin and Vivian over at Newport. When things get down to the wire, friends come to the rescue. A lot of you have heard Jim Ward talk about going home and eating warmed over corn flakes for his lunch or supper. Well, his birthday was Aug. 14 and one of the customers at Nichols Restaurant set it up with the waitress to serve Jim just that, warmed over corn- flakes. Happy birthday, Jim. Hope you enjoyed your birth- day supper with Jamie and Betty at Nichols last night. Congratulations to Rhorda Day Hurley on her opening up the Corner Bar and Deli up at Hwy. 98. The grand opening will be Labor Day but she plans to try for this weekend. They will be celebrating Charlotte Carson's birthday. Stop by and join in the fun. They will be serving deli style food and all kinds of special salads to your order as well as beer and wine. Now, let's wish these spe- cial people happy birthday: A late happy birthday to Thomas (T.J.)

Tip for this week: If you are trying to sew jeans or any other thick material it will ben- efit you to buy a sewing needle made for that purpose. I hem' a lot of pants and after sewing my finger and breaking several needles I broke down and bought needles made to sew jeans. It really helps make the job go faster.

Tai Sf, wag By SUSAN HARP Board Member, CHAT of Wakulla, Inc. www.chatofwakulla.org CHAT has recently presented each one of the 10 local Wakulla County fire stations with an animal resuscitation kit for use in cases of domestic, animal smoke inhalation. These kits come with both large and small masks designed to work with' various sized dogs, and in- cluded within each kit is.also a mask designed for felines. Oxygen masks made for humans are not effective with dogs and cats, as the animal does not get enough oxygen with these larger masks. By ;having these kits at each fire '.station, the fire department persoonel will not have to give "iobuth to snout" esuscitation in cases where animals are in- volved. Even though CHAT pur- chased these masks with the assumption that they are a ne- cessity, we sincerely hope that they never need to be used. Nevertheless, if only one pet can be saved by this donation, we have done our job, CHAT is a local non-profit humane society that works with the Wakulla County Ani- mal Shelter and the public at large. We sponsor the "Kind News" for all third and fifth graders who attend Wakulla County Schools, and help with spay and neuter expenses and, on a case-by-case basis, we also help with some expensive ani- mal medical expenses, such as assistance with heartworm treatments. Our mission is to improve, through education and chari- table means, the health, safety, and well being of domesticated animals in our community. We are also committed to prevent- ing cruelty to all animals. CHAT sponsors our monthly Chip & Dips during the sum- mer months where animals get bathed and dipped for fleas at no cost, and microchipped for a nominal fee. We have various fundraisers throughout the year, including Heide's famous rose sale every April. (By the way, we still have some roses for sale.)

JODY CAMPBELL Here we are in the middle of August and fishing contin- ues to be fairly good in our area. Not many people are fish- ing because of the heat, but those who are seem to be hav- ing pretty good luck. Mike Hopkins at Lanark says typically they'll have 30 or 40 boats out on the weekend, and now they may be lucky to have seven or eight. Plenty of fish are being caught, there's just nobody fishing for them. Eric Jones fished Nylures around the docks along High- way 98 and caught and re- leased a bunch of reds. Reds are also being caught on Tur- key Point Shoals and off the Lanark Reef. Big trout are still being caught between Lanark Reef W ,, '" By GEORGE WEYMOUTH As Opal Fulton and I neared the meeting just off John Knox Road in Tallahassee, I was shocked at all the government ve- hicles that seemed to be converging at the same place. By 8:15 a.m. about 60 biologists from all over Florida and the southeastern U.S.'s range of the red-cockaded woodpecker, were seated and ready for the meeting to start. My friend Chuck Hess with the Apalachicola National Forest was the first speaker. And like all those that followed, he explained the status of the red- cockaded woodpecker (RCW) in the National Forest, and how many males and females could be transported to other areas. These are called "donors." Other areas may be in need of donors and so they would be termed "recipients," and the shift- ing of the birds to help establish new populations is called "translocating." Mike Keys of the St. Marks National Refuge gave the status f the RCW's population, and then Jim Cox of the Tall Timbers Research. Station on Lake ammonia (just north of Tallahassee) spoke. Opal, the biologist I work under at Tate's Hell State Forest, and- I "took it in," as our study of some 40 Tate's Hell clusters (where they roost and nest) hasn't reached the point where our birds are banded. Once we get the birds banded, we then will have a handle on the number ,f males versus females, and hehehei.oiir' populations are thriving or diminishing, ~ ty..er- haps. we will be ready next year, The meeting lasted all day, aid I'll admit all the statistical data began to run together, but I certainly appreciated being asked to attend this gathering and learned a lot about these birds. I also learned about various research that's taking place in the southeastern U.S. to protect this endangered species which is now down to about one percent of its original numbers-a 99 percent decrease. Today, only 14,000 birds remain in over 5,000 groups. In the 'mid-90s, most populations were stabilized due to better man- agement. Though many areas have managed to gradually bring some isolated groups around, many are still on the decline due to the presence of man and our activities. Here are some things about these unique and rare birds you should know. Number one, they nest in living pines-older pines (50 plus) that usually have a weak center from red heart dis- ease. It may take three years to excavate the cavity because the wood is so hard. Around the cavities this species creates "resin wells," where they peck the living pine to stimulate a flow of sticky fresh resin (sap). This sticky resin prevents (as a rule) flying squirrels, rats and rat snakes (like local corn/red rat and oak/gray rat snakes) from reaching the cavity. The pine may look like a candle it has so much oozing resint A "group" of birds consists generally of a breeding pair and up to four males (rarely females). This is referred to as a cooperative breeding system, consist- ing of the parents and their "helpers." (In Florida, Scrub Jays also have helpers.) These helpers assist in incubation and rais- ing the hatchlings. The three to five eggs are usually laid in mid-April and hatch in 10-12 days, an extremely short incuba- tion period for birds! The young leave the nest cavity or "fledge" in 24 to 27 days. Naked and helpless at first, they are fed by the adults for up to six months. Rarely do they have more than one brood per sea- son. There is only .about a three-day window when the young may be banded. Each bird makes its own cavity and over six generations have been known to use one cavity,for 30 years Red-cockadeds are "primary cavity nesters"-that is, other birds and animals will eventually utilize their. cavities. A prime ex- ample is the red-bellied woodpecker which, being slightly more aggressive, will often force a pair of RCWs from the nest cavity. Eventually, the cavity may be enlarged and others like screech, owls and even pileated woodpeckers may move in. The cockadeds will not nest in a dead tree, a favorite of many birds. At least 27 species of vertebrates have been known-to utilize their cavities, So like the gopher tortoise (which I'm now work- ing-with at Tate's Hell State Forest), their burrows provide shel- 'ter for other species. When you eliminate the gopher tortoise or the red-cockaded, many other species suffer, too. kings, cobia and red snapper are being caught, but grouper fishing continues to be slow. Most folks going are fishing in close. Tom Riddle of Tifton went out last week, and they de- cided to make a night trip to fish for grouper. They fished around V Tower and limited out on red snapper and caught a few nice grouper. He said it's different fishing at night, but it sure was a lot cooler. Alan Lamarche of Shell Point took some folks out Sat- urday and they caught all the Spanish they wanted. They were free. lining live shrimp, I took my nephew from the Coast Guard and niece and her husband from Ormond Beach. They do a lot of trolling for dolphin and wahoo, so when I took them fishing for Span- ish it was a little different. First we went to the shoals and. caught 10 nice Spanish and missed as many. We fished Spanish Sardines under a Cajun Thunder and just drifted in 10 to 15 feet of water. We didn't see any bait, but there were plenty of fish out The Fish and Wildlife Con- servation Commission (FWC) has concluded Florida's deer herdjshow no signs of chronic wasting disease (CWD) after four years of testing for the deadly disease. OWD is a contagious neu- rological disease that has been found in captive and wild herds of mule deer, white- .ta'iled:'eeti andiRocksy 'Mouai- ,ttort-elk withm aesm~nt1 lwd- ,-western and western sta4tes. The disease causes degenera- tion of the brains of infected animals resulting in emacia- tion, abnormal behavior, loss of bodily functions and death. The FWC tested 512 free- ranging deer during the past year and more than 2,300 deer during the' past four years, with no CWD-positive results. Once again, this hunting season the FWC is turning to sportsmen for assistance in helping monitor the state's deer herd for CWD. "We're asking hunters to report any sighting of sickly or scrawny-looking deer," Vander- hoof said. "If you see such a deer, call toll-free 1-866-CWD- WATCH (293-9282). Wildlife biologists will respond, and if necessary, collect deer tissue ifor testing. It's important to contact us as soon as possible, because such testing must take lace within 48 hours,' f. a'~ *-'deer's death to yield reliable results " CWD WATCH is part' of an aggressive monitoring pro- gram to ensure CWD is not al- ready in Florida and the dis- ease does not spread into this state, . Currently, there is no evi- dence that CWD poses a risk to, humans, however, public health officials recommend avoiding direct contact with any sick-looking deer or one. that has died from unknown causes.

I also caught quite a few small trout on a grub. I believe if we would have fished for trout, there were plenty, out there. On the way in, we went to Buoy 4 to look for Spanish-.,i There weren't any there, but y " did catch some huge ladyfisli. Juanise at Circle J's said John Phillips fished live shrimp in Oyster Bay and caught quite a few nice reds. John Nelson and Chris Weigly fished Turkey Point Shoals with shrimp and caught trout, blues, reds and pompano. They were fishing live shrimp. Scott at Jerry's Bait and STackle had their August trout tournament this past weekend and had 15 teams fishing. Jeff Trent and Chuck Collins fin- ished first with five trout, weighing 12 pounds, 6 ounces' SSecond place was Zach Bahorgif' and Rob Williams with five Trout weighing 11 pounds, 13 I ounces. Carl Stubbs. and his son, Brandon, finished third Sand also had big fish. Their total weight was 11 pounds, 5 ounces and the big fish for the tournament was 4 pounds, 2 ounces. Scott said most fish were caught in shallow water. The fish are still biting if you can stand the heat. Go early or go late. Remember to leave that float plan with -someone and be careful out 'there.

Flotilla 13 held its August meeting Saturday. Special guests from Flotilla 12 were Flotilla Commander Tim Ash- ley, Carolyn Treadon, Mark Rossen, and Rich Rasmussen. Rich also brought his son, Will Rasmussen. Attending from Flotilla 13 were John and Doro- thy Edrington, Mae Waters, Edith and James Taylor, Glenn Edrington, Bob Hancock, Judy Bentley, Ron Pagel, Eleanbr and Fred Carlan, Jack Rosenau, Jim and Ouida McGill, Helen Branan, Marge and Tom Jones, Ron and Angret Piasecki, Bob Morgan, Richie Calhoun, Wes Lee and Aidan Brainard. Rich Rasmussen is currently the Vice-Captain of the first di- vision. The first division repre- sents auxiliary flotillas from St. Marks all the way to Alabama, He will be running for Division Captain this year and we are proud our next division cap- tain may be a representative. from our area. Ron Pagel, Judy Bentley and, Bob Morgan received awards for their completion of the Coast Guard Auxiliary Advanced 'Coastal Navigation courses and passing the two required tests to become Navigation Special- ists. The Part B test takes more than six hours to complete and is probably the most difficult test in the Auxiliary Specialty program. On Sunday, Aug. 13, Bob Morgan and Jim McGill were on safety patrol for Flotilla 13. We have been developing a GPS course and have collected the coordinates for seven artificial reefs (or groups of reefs) that are within 15 miles of the Shell Point Tripod. These reefs were built out of concrete pipes, tires and even a DC3 airplane. On our safety patrol, we ran GPS courses to the coordinates that we had collected and then used a fish-finder to look at the bottom. Bob, who is a knowl- edgeable fisherman, came to the conclusion that these are "good" numbers. These reef positions are available on the Internet, so I guess it will be okay to let you Boating Emergencies - Coast Guard Station Panama City .............................1 (850) 234-422 8 Coast Guard Station Yankeetown .,...................................... 1 (352) 447-6900 Coast Guard Auxiliary St. M arks (Flotilla 12) ...................................... 1 (850) 906-0540' or ...................... ........... 893-5137 Shell Point (Flotilla 13) 1 (850) 926-2606 or ........................... .............926-5654 ""'"""..............

Then again, Ron Pagel and I went to the same place on Saturday morning and didn't catch any- thing but a little sunburn. Carolyn Treadon sends us. news from Flotilla 12. Flotilla 12 had a good and productive weekly Patrol be- gan Saturday geared up for action after hearing a call on the radio about a boat taking on water off Shell Point. Once,, we had completed all of our re- quired safety checks, we began to head over to see if the boat still needed assistance. While in-route, we saw our friend from TowboatUS out past the. Birds Roost and he let us know the boater had made it safely to shore. Rather than waste an oppor- tunity, our coxswain, Tim Ash- ley, had crew member Carolyn Treadon plot a course over to Grey Mare Rock. Helmsman Bob Surdakowski maintained' a great compass course arid we were able to find our target As we traversed the east flats, Mark Rosen was able to follow our course from the communi- cations trailer with Chuck Hick- man and Tom Ziko learning from his expertise They plot- ted our locations using the GPS readings. After a brief stop at our local feed store, Riverside Cafe, we headed up the St.Mark's River. By that time, the winds had picked up and the breeze was a welcome friend; We were LATITUDE LONGITUDE 30.0063 29.9137 29.9146 29.9147 29.9149 29.9151 29.9184 29.9197 29.8398 29.8934 29.9509 29.9509 29.9519 29.9690 29.9693 29.9985 29.9988 29.9992 29.9996 -84.2820 -84.2203 -84.2362 -84.2359 -84.2359 -84.2356 -84.2348 -84.2337 -84.1568 -84,J1278 -8-1I809 -84.0803 -84.0803 -84.1396 -84.1320 -84.1531 -84.1527 -84.1528 -84.1519 alerted by some local boaters that manatees were spotted at- several points, in the river in- cluding a mother and her calf. We spotted four ourselves! This brings me to a'gentle Teminder'for all boaters: Even in the areas that allow for nor- mal operations, we all need to do our part to make sure our sea-going friends remain safe in our rivers. Boaters, please watch your speed and keep your eyes open! These sight- ings would have been a great photo op, however the camera only works when the photog- rapher remembers to bring the, memory card (my apologies)., Sunday we had Tim Ashley again as coxswain with Chuck Hickman, Mark Rosen and Rick Yood as his crew. While Chuck is still in crew training, he is- well on his way to representing the auxiliary at its best! Tim again challenged his crew to test their skills and had them plot a course over the Ochlock- .jV nee Shoals and back. They, too, wandered up the St. Mark's River to, see if our friends had spent the night and saw several manatees. As, 'part of the Coast Guard mis- sion, they alerted othierti'86 ers to the wildlife and assi sed in making sure their time in our area was safe. As boaters, it is our duty not only to keep ourselves safe and afloat, but to make sure that the residents of our waterways are also able to be safe in their homes. Next week I will make sure that the camera is loaded and ready to take many won- derful pictures of our training day on Aug. 19. Captains in the Shell Point area should be aware that the Shell Point light is still not re- paired. We will be getting the parts and the light should be operational again by the week- end'of Aug. 19.

County officials said High- way 61 could be used to ease traffic on U.S. Highway 319 in the Crawfordville area if the traf- fic had a way to get to Highway 61 that was more direct than existing roads. "Visioning activities are fine, but we must transition glossy pictures to an actual plan," said Commissioner Ed Brimner. Without the road improvements' in place, "this board is working with one hand behind its back. Wakulla County development is, going to be stopped." Brimner said transportation is closely linked to a "quality of life issue." "We don't need gridlock," he said. "This is something we have absolutely got to do." Commissioners approved the study proposal by a 4-1 vote .with Commissioner Howard Kessler voting in the minority, "I have a problem with Wil- sonMiller," Kessler said. "They have come before us as an agent for other projects that will dump more traffic on our roads." He addedthat the hiring of WilsonMiller is a "conflict of interest." He also suggested develop- ing roadways around infrastruc- ture that is already in place or making development wait until the infrastructure is in place. Brockmeier said the study will not offer final design sug- gestions, but will create sug- gested solutions to the issues raised by the commission. Brimner added that already having WilsonMiller under contract speeds up the consult- ing work by as much as two months. "It does eliminate the bidding process, which is not a good thing," Kessler responded. Brockmeier said the study will concentrate on an approxi- mately 85 squaremile area from Medart to the Leon County border. He concluded that the study will focus on roadways only and will not address trans- portation concerns such as ports and airports. In other matters in front of the Wakulla County Commis- sion on Monday, Aug. 7: David Damon of the county's tree and landscape committee announced that the committee has developed a new ordinance for board con- sideration. He called the final draft "a compromise with very widespread approval." Damon added that the com- mittee volunteers worked on the ordinance every week dur- ing the past three to four months. Commissioners set a workshop to discuss the draft on Monday, Sept. 18, at 5 p.m. Commissioner Howard Kessler asked board members to consider requesting the Wakulla Expo Board of Direc- tors to donate land on Lower Bridge Road for use as a county community center. Expo offi- cials have been.unsuccessful in acquiring state funding to build a multipurpose building on the site. Commissioner Brian Lang- ston said the expo board is continuing its efforts to use the property on Lower Bridge Road for the proposed center.'

Kessler requested commis- sioners consider a plan to in- crease the percentage of waste entering the county landfill as recycled materials. The com- missioner aired a plan from County Administrator Joe Blanchard to allow red trash bags to be used for recycling materials such as aluminum and plastic, which could be sorted by inmates thereby re- ducing the percentage of waste that is hauled to regional land- fills.' Commissioners also asked Blanchard to visit with other counties -to 'see how, they handle solid waste companies pulling out of their communi- ties with little notice.

Page 16-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Aug. 17, 2006 Business Winn-Dixie To Aid MDA Telethon Mo Strickland And Elaine Herndon Greet Customers Hardware Store Is Item Packed By GEORGE GRIFFIN Special to The News Sopchoppy Hardware, Feed and Seed Store holds a promi- nent place on the corner of Rose Street and Railroad Av- enue in Sopchoppy. Started in August of 1987 by brothers George Ed and Dan Strickland, their brother-in-law, Jack. Edwards, worked at the store for several years before their brother, Mo, started full-time. Mo Strickland bought out' his brother Dan's interest in the store in 2002. Elaine Herndon, started working in November of 1989 and contin-' ues to work at the hardware store from Wednesday through Saturday each week. Between Mo and Elaine, there always is someone to greet you as you walk in the front door. Although not a huge space, the place is packed with items: hardware,. houseware, paints, fishing and hunting supplies, and the list goes,on. In the tra- diti1on of an old hardware stoi. you can still purchase as many or as few nails as you might need for a project, and get your paintcustomized. There's an isle each of electri- cal and plumbing supplies. Then, of course, there is repair advice if needed. " The spring is the big time of the year for selling seeds and vegetable and flower starts. You can buy seeds in a packet yet many of the most popular seeds are sold by the scoop, large or small (help yourself if Mo and Elaine are busy with another customer). The vegetable and flower starts are healthy and competi- tively priced. Feed is sold throughout the year. In 2005 the store built a 30 foot x 50 foot metal build- ing next to it to store feed. From chick starter to hog fin- isher, dog chow to horse sweet feed, to pond cat floater-just back your vehicle up to the open door. The store is not yet at the point.where sales could be described as flourishing, yet still is afloat, pay its bills and certainly is an important con- tribution to the community. "When people stop they get to see and experience what a real hardware, feed and seed store is like," Mo said. Sopchoppy Hardware, Feed and Seed Store is part of an informal network of shops and businesses in Sopchoppy that do business with one another and support local benefits. "If a local business closes, busi- ness for us slows down. We have seen this happen several times:" Elaine remarked. There are pictures of family members next to the cash reg-, ister and sometimes a grand- baby-is playing at the feet of Mo or Elaine as they stand at the cash register and assist people. Folks. come in and greet one another and briefly chat. Generally, no one is rush- ing in and out nor are they being rushed. When asked what he enjoyed most about coming to work everyday,' Mo said, "Waiting on people." Each fall hunters come into the area and shop at the store I' d' get free advice even as lore customers show'dip frbm Franklin County, especially to get feed. Mo and Elaine enjoy their work and working together. Walking into the store you of- ten walk into that good humor and are greeted with the same. George Ed and Mo always hire a local high school boy to load feed and help stock the hardware store. Currently that Shelter is Mike Stelly. The real inspiration and foundation for the store comes from George Ed Strickland. Now in his late 60s, as a child he would hang out with his father, George, at what is now Joanne's Flower, Gift and Card Shop when Mr. Ed Lawhon had a hardware andfeed store there. Later, in 1977, George Ed and Ron Langston had a feed store in what is now The Book and Art TeaRoom. George Ed got out of that arrangement be- cause "there was just enough inventory to be aggravating to keep up w'ith but not enough 'to make it worthwhile." So, eventually, the tree bore fruit and in 1987 George Ed Strickland got to open a hard- ware, feed and seed store full- time. In the late 1800s and for many years afterward there was a grocery store where the store'is no"w-with-a spur of the Florida, Georgia and Alabama Railroad just a few strides away. The railroad itself was but a few more strides away and the train depot still re- Smains across the street from the hardware store. Sopchoppy Hardware, Feed and Seed Store is located at 6. Railroad Avenue in Sopchoppy. Its phone number is 962-3180. T-n-T Hideaway Now Offers Guided Trips T-n-T Hideaway Canoe Rental is now offering guided trips on local waterways.

NEW Thdy A 7 2006 Residents Want A New City-Scape By WILLIAM SNOWDEN Of The Wakulla News Most residents of the city of St. Marks are happy with the ser- vices they receive, but not nec- essarily with how the city looks. S That's what St. Marks City SCommissioners were told by members of the city's.visioning committee at the meeting on Thursday, Aug. 10. S Durwood Jackson, chair of the city's visioning committee, and i Bruce Ballister, of the Apalachee SRegional Planning Council, re- Sported that a survey of residents indicated a majority want side- Swalks and benches and an attrac- 0 tive city-scape. And they said they want the city's retail shops and businesses located in a con- Scentrated area. S "This is an absolutely out- standing beginning," said.City Commissioner Phil Cantner of Sthe committee's work. "We need Stokeep the enthusiasm going." The corimittee requested a workshop to work with commis- sioners on how to implement Some of the ideas suggested by the survey. The workshop is set for Wednesday, Aug. 16.at 7 p.m. In other matters: o City Manager Zoe Mansfield recommended that the city re- view its cemetery fees with an eye on increasing charges; Mansfield said that, because of the low prices of plots in the city cemetery,' the number of burials of out-of-town people has increased. In Tallahassee and around the area, cemetery plots range in price from $1,000 to $3,000. In I St. Marks, though,' a plot in the City cemetery is only $350 for Sout-of-town residents, $125.for City residents, and $75 for chil- Sdren; Mansfield said there is also' concern about .people planting 'trees and bushes in the graveyard .hich .block the use of some plots. P She said she would study the -:.--uu and make a: report at the :t s, nri.:eting in Sepiember ,After being stuck with wa- iter charges after some companies quit business, city commission- ers indicated they want to look, at increasing the deposit for rent- ers, especially commercial. St. Marks had required a $200 deposit on both residential and commercial renters. The fee more than covers the average cost of a home water bill, which averages $62, But several businesses have recently closed their doors and left with arrearages in their wa- ter bills of ranging from $650 to $700. The city is considering re- Squiring $650 as the deposit for commercial accounts. S St. Marks Mayor Chuck Shields said the proposal is geared only toward renters, not P picpert; owners. "We know how to find them,' he said.' The city is also considering adding a surcharge for service for its out-of-city'water customers. Currently, the city charges $22.74 for water customers out of the city limits. The commis- sion will consider increasing the Smoothly cost to $34.11 for resi- I'dential and $60 for commercial with a charge of $2.55 for each Additional 1,000 gallons. There are only'a handful of businesses outside the city lim- its that get St. Marks water the Express Lane, General Dynamics, SFamily Dollar,; Wakulla Bank and Envision Credit Union. 4 4j 0 Lordy, Lordy aLooking Mightya t Fine At ' P 40 . llHappy Birthday SKa ren Crumn 1 I r v, ( ,i, SrIcplihn, Mciig n, A lFlyni, Ahi'iI, Brookc, h ii, \iMor- in, Scalcy SAnd I'crvO-cin On "The i lill" O? ^ t ?

I ~~r- . ~ .u--Y;r:--? Schools Continued from Page 1 why." Riversprings Middle School made up for some of the loss at WMS by counting 539 on Aug. 14 while counting 504 students last year. The elementary schools con- tinue to increase in size. Craw- fordville cracked the 800 student mark with 806 on opening day. CES counted 724 students last year. Shadeville was the second largest with 716 students this year compared to 687 last year. Medart Elementary School is the smallest elementary school but still counted 635 students on the first day-the same num- ber as last year. Miller said the elementary school enrollment numbers did not come as a surprise based on summer registration activ- ity. The new elementary school planned for property near U.S. Highway' 319 and Highway 267 is slated to open in the fall of 2008 and will take some of the students from Crawford- ville and Shadeville, 'lowering enrollment at the two largest elementary schools. Some students were not al- lowed to attend the first day of school because they did not have all of their required im- munizations. "All school centers will gain kids," Miller said. "Time will tell" how many. Despite the increase of stu- dent enrollment, the district has not been forced to add: portable classrooms at any of the elementary schools, middle' schools or high school, Miller said proudly. County growth, employee turnover and class size legisla- tion forced county administra- tors to add 35 new teachers this year, with the majority added at Wakulla High School.

Home warranties cover repair and replacement costs for Appliances and other home sys- . teams that break down. A home warranty can be purchased by either a home buyer or current home owner, and are often paid for at closing.' Builders' warran- ties are a different critter. vider. Many standard home warranties cover plumbing, ap- pliances, and heating and cooling systems. Some policies cover the roof. You usually have to buy ex- tra coverage for private wells and Sseptic systems and other high- ticket items. Costs of these warranties vary, but many standard home war- ranty policies range from $350 to $450 --i extra to cover special S,"' systems. Most home warranty polices are effective for one year with an option to renew coverage upon expiration. The renewal cost is often higher than the fee paid for the initial policy. Ask each provider what its current renewal fee is so that you can compare costs. Finally, make sure the warran- ty provider hasc"ontacts in your area. A warranty won't neces- sarily save the day if no one's around to help in a timely man- ner. As always, contact me for any of your real estate needs.

The Crawfordville depart- ment responded to a fire alarm at the new elementary school on Arran Road. Fortunately, there was no fire. The depart- ment also responded to a resi- dence on Kelly Drive due to a reported lightning strike. Firefighters found evidence of the strike but could not lo- cate any fire or smoke. The owner was advised to contact an electrician. The department also responded to a number of downed powerlines on Cochise Road where the firefighters secured the area and stood by until the power company ar- rived on.scene. Household Extension Cords Can Cause Fires The U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission estimates that about 4,700 residential fires originate in extension cords each year, killing 50 per- sons and injuring 280 others. Overheating of extension cords can occur at the plug, the socket or over the entire length of the cord. Hot plugs and sock- ets are often caused by dete- riorated connections to the cord wires. Overheating of the entire. cord is usually caused by over- loading (connecting too many appliances that need too many watts for the wire size of the cord). Many older extension cords with small (No. 18 gauge) wire that can overheat at 15 or 20 amps are currently in use. Consumers should feel the temperature of cords when they are in use. If they are hot to the touch, disconnect the appliances. If there is any sign of overheating, replace the ex- tension cords with new ones having No. 16 or heavier gauge wire (the lower the gauge num- ber, the heavier the wire and the more electrical current the cord can safely carry). The differences b between ' cord sizes is not obvious, but the new No. 16 cords usually have 16 1 2 or 16/3 stamped on the cord and will have the wire size printed on the pack- age, Check new cords to make sure they are listed by a recog- Yard Sales Prohibited In Park Wakulla County Commis- sioners recently adopted an ordinance prohibiting residen- tial yard sales in Hudson Park in Crawfordville. Parks and Recreation Direc- tor Ray Gray said his office is in charge of the park and oth- ers around the county, but the sheriff's office is in charge of enforcing the ordinance. The ordinance was created by the board as a way to com- bat trash that had been being left in the public park and even- tually taken by the wind to neighboring residential proper- ties. Last weekend several func- tions were held at Hudson Park and an individual hosting a yard sale left boxes for the parks and recreation depart- ment to clean up. Gray said the county hopes to add another staff member who will work over the week- ends and keep the park clean. Once the new person is in place, Gray said, the county may be able to ease its restric- tions on yard sales. The new person is in Gray's budget which will not be ap- proved by the county commis- sion until late September. freedom Of Thie Press Is Your FreeCdom N&IR SEPTIC TANK SERVICE NEW INSTALLATION PUMP-OUTS & REPAIRS State Approved Lic. #93-1149 962-3669 Mobile 933-3835 nized national testing labora- tory. Overheating of extension cords is a more serious prob- lem during periods of cold weather when electric heaters are being used. However, the problem is not limited to cold weather and can occur at any time. If extension cords are used in your home, please be sure they are not overloaded and therefore subject to caus- ing a fire. Wakulla County has 10 vol- unteer fire stations. Each needs additional volunteer firefighters and/or auxiliary members.

NOTICE OF LAND USE CHANGE The Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners proposes to adopt the following by ordinance and has scheduled a Public Hearing regarding the following before the Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners on Thursday, September 7, 2006, beginning at 6:00 P.M., unless otherwise noted below or as time permits. All public hearings are held in the County Commission Chambers located west of the County Courthouse at 29 Arran Road, Crawfordville, Florida 32327. Interested parties are invited to attend and present testimony. 3 Charged In Mailbox Bombings Three Crawfordville area juve- niles face a combined 14 felony counts of making, possessing, throwing, projecting, placing or discharging a destructive device in county mailboxes Friday, Aug. 11, following a two week inves- tigation by Wakulla County Sheriff's Office and the Florida Fire Marshal's Office, according to Sheriff David Harvey. The arrests stem from re- ports of homemade explosives being placed in residential mailboxes at homes on Whid- don Lake Road, Trice Lane, Happy Time Drive and R & R Lane, according to Captain Jim Griner. Due to the crimes be- ing committed against mail- boxes, the' U.S. Postal Service also got involved in the inves- tigation. Justin John Morgan, 17, faces six counts in the investigation along with Jonathan Matthew Campbell, also 17. Kyle Bradley Letts, 16, faces two counts in the case. The crimes were committed in late July as household chemicals were mixed in 20 ounce soda bottles to create a chemical reaction, said Captain Griner. The chemical reaction caused mailbox damage but none of the residents suffered injuries. The three juveniles were apparently mixing chemi- cals as a prank, said Captain Griner. Griner said Det. Eddie West- er and Officer Chris Scovotto of the Fire Marshal's office ob- tained information from confi- dential sources that led to the arrests. 926-6003 17 High Drive, Suite C Courthouse Square P.O.

Keep Waka County Beautif*u Keep Wakulla County Beautiful State Attorney Willie Meggs said that he has received the two complaints about the controver- sial special meeting the county commission held in May. After dueling complaints about the meeting were sent to Gov. Jeb Bush, the governor's of- fice forwarded the matter to the state attorney in July for investi- gation. "I'd like to put it to rest as soon as possible," Meggs said, "and put an end to the turmoil." The county commission held a special meeting on May 4 to deal with the resignation of County Administrator Parrish Barwick. When the meeting be- gan, Commissioner Howard Kessler said that he, did not feel a special meeting was warranted because there was no emergency, and he stepped down from the dais. Commission Chairman Maxie Lawhon then sent a letter to Gov. Bush asking that Kessler be sus- Spended for violating state law that prohibits elected officials from abstaining on a vote unless there is a conflict of interest de- clared. "It's pretty simple," Meggs said. "If it was not an authorized meeting then Kessler was' right; and. if it was, then Kessler was wrong." "It seems like a lot to do about not much,," Meggs said.

Not save her life, just "prolong" it. "I had to walk out of the hospital and sit on the curb," she recalls. She sat there crying for two hours. Radiation started the next week. Hannah has come through fine so far. The only symptom of the therapy was that her ears turned red. And she's gained some weight because of the steroids she's taking. In September, she's sched- uled to have an MRI to see how .much the tumor has shrunk. "We're hoping her Make A Wish happens in August," Lisa says, referring to the founda- tion that grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions. "She wants to go to Disney World." Hannah's medical treatment is expected to cost more than $20,000. A friend has created a Web site to help raise money, www.helphannah.org. Told that she can have as a gift any one of the princess dresses Cinderella brought over for the party Hannah picks the Snow White dress. It's yellow and blue and red "I've got to go back to the castle," Cinderella tells the girls when it's time to leave. Cinderella gets a hug and a wave goodbye from Hannah, who is aglow and bouncing around the room, her eyesfilled with joy Transfer Is Approved The Wakulla County Com- mission approved the transfer of the mosquito control unit to the Wakulla County Health Department.
