Lewis

Receives

Five Life

Terms
By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
01 The Wakulla News
Raymond Lewis, the man who
abducted a 12-year-old Panacea
girl in 2004 and ran away with
her, prompting an Amber Alert,
was sentenced last week to five
consecutive life sentences.
Lewis, 30, was found guilty
in a jury trial last month of kid-
napping. molestation and three
counts of lewd and lascivious
battery.
At Lewis' sentencing hearing
on Thursday, Sept. 14, Circuit
Judge N. Sanders Sauls sen-
tenced Lewis to life in prison
and also ruled that Lewis is a
dangerous sexual offender and
designated him a sexual preda-
tor meaning that even if Lewis
should be released from prison.
he would be subject to civil con-
finement under the state Jimmy
Ryce Act.
At the hearing. Assistant
State Attorney Jacki Fulford, who
prosecuted the case. read letters
io Judge Sauls from the young
victim and the girl's mother urg-
ing him to sentence Lewis to life
in prison. "I hope you make it
where I am Raymond Lewis' last
victim." the letter read.
The girl's mother wrote that
her daughter's youth had been
taken from her and that she
lives every day with the stigma
of what happened. The girl, now
14, has lost, "her right to fall in
love and discover herself," the
mother wrotd. "She will have to
face what Raymond Lewis has
done to her in every relationship
in her life."
The mother also blamed
Lewis for the suffering of her
family. Her husband, who was
a friend and co-worker with
Lewis. has been sentenced to 60
years in prison for a relationship
with a 12-year-old girl, one of his
daughter's best friends.
Fulford argued that Lewis
was a serial abuser who had a
history of sexual relationships
with underage girls. He said
that Lewis was on probation
in Leon County for molestiig a
14-year-old girl, the sister of his
then-girlfriend, after he got her

said. "Lower taxes are essential
if families and businesses are

only commissioner who voted
to lower taxes."
Kessler added that public

lIt's Your Money

After earlier toying with the idea of raising the.millage,
iWakulla County Commissioners voted at a budget hearing
on Tuesday, Sept. 12, to go back to the same rate as last
Year 8.25 mills.
* That is the good news.
Now for the not-so-good news. The board tentatively
approved a 2006-07 budget that is nearly 11 percent larger
'than the budget year that is about to conclude. The board
is also planning to increase the Municipal Service Ben-
efit Unit (MSBU) special assessment for fire protection to
,nearly double the $35 taxpayers are beipg charged now. A
proposal of $65 per parcel is sitting on the table awaiting
an October public heating,
As part of this budget, many of the county departments
have received massive budget increases, and the volunteer
firefighters are now getting money from the general rev-
enue budget as well as through Special assessments.
The tentative budget approval seems to have made
the county department heads and constitutional officers
'happy. None of them have expressed any displeasure to-
ward the board over the budget process ... at least not in
public. Meanwhile. an amazingly low number of county
taxpayers expressed concerns. Fewer than 10 property
owners atthe meeting spoke about millage rates, budgets
and taxes.
What's amazing about that is during the past several
weeks, many residents have expressed their displeasure
about the board members' handling of the budget to The
Wakulla News. However, few individuals took the time to
speak to the commission.
That's a shame. We all lead busy lives, but if we don't
take the time to actively participate in government, then
we're only cheating ourselves. And the county's budget
process is one issue that requires all of our attention.
At the same 8.25 millage rate, most property owners still
:will be paying higher taxes because property appraisals
go up at least three percent each year.
On its face, that's not a totally bothersome develop-
iment, Many citizens want improved services to go along
with the county's dramatic growth, and we all know that
services come with a price. Fine.
But at the same time, it's the citizens' responsibility
to monitor the services they're receiving and evaluate
whether the commissioners are being good stewards of
their tax dollars. A quick look around the county raises
some questions in this regard.
Many county roads_.4re.in,pqor condition., Sewage
I teatment services'are only available to a small percent-'
jage of residents. Commissioners are working to get the
i newly proposed elementary school corrected to central
sewage at a time when not all of the existing schools are
Connected.
SThe county has done little to address residents' garbage
Ipick-up concerns, as was evident when Waste Manage-
Sment pulled out of the residential garbage business.
SMosquito control was dropped by the county and will
ibe administered by the health department. Many road
paving projects have come with excessively long waits.
Meanwhile, volunteer firefighters are attempting to
make up for years of funding neglect by requesting mas-
Ssive budget increases. While improved emergency services
are on everyone's wish list, poor planning, on the part
jof the county should not become an emergency funding
Issue for taxpayers.
We are pleased to note that this budget is not yet set
in stone. There is still time for the commissioners to
think about shifting some priorities rather than making
it their business tp fund nearly every request that comes
their way.
Wakulla County voters spoke loudly on Sept. 5 and will
have a chance to speak again at three other occasions in
;the next three months. Taxpayers are invited to attend
&the Tuesday, Sept. 26, final budget hearing at 6 p.m. in
.the board chambers. They are also invited to attend a
.public hearing Monday, Oct. 23, at 6 p.m. to discuss the
,.increase,in the MSBU,
And, of course. voters will have one more chance to go
jto the polls on Tuesday. Nov. 7.
If you believe every county tax) dollar is being spent
wisely, then by all means, eijoy another night at home.
But remember that now is the time to get interested and
involved not when the tax bills arrive.

Commission Praised'
For MLK.Decision
Editor, The News:.' -
Kudos to the county com-
missioners for doing the right
thing in pledging $3,000 toward
the cost of a granite monument
honoring Dr. Martin Luther
King.
It is unfortunate that this
act is fence-mending for previ-
ous cold-hearted intolerance
and vandalism from within the
community instead of simple
celebration. It also is sad that
this monument has to be placed
near the courthouse so It will be
safe from fur-ther-vandalism.
But it is the right thing.
pr. King's activities were
basedfon the Christian ideals
of love and equality. He fought
blind hatred and unspeakable
abuse with courage and non-
violent leadership, encouraging
hope and effecting positive
change.
He helped newer genera-
tions move toward the privilege
of knowing and, hopefully, lov-
ing one another.
Racism is not dead yet, but
we share the dream that one
day it will be known only in
history books.
Thank you, commissioners,
for doing the right thing and
taking us at least one baby step
toward that day.

Water Issue Forces Us
To Look At Future
Editor, The News:
Here are my thoughts on
some current events:
The biggest problem with:
selling any of our water is the
precedent it sets. Maybe the
loss isn't big enough to hurt the
shellfish industry or leave too
little for our citizens this year,
but what happens the next time
South Florida knocks on the
door? Or when our population
is many times what it is now?
At my first planning and
zoning meeting last week. I was
impressed by the way Robert's
Rules of Order was used to ef-
ficiently accomplish the tasks
and how all participants be-
haved like ladies and gentle-
men. The next night I went to
the commissioners' first budget
meeting ...

Ori Tuesday, Sept. 12,1 went
into cardiac arrest due to a birth
defect that was unbeknownst
to me. When I called 911, the
Wakulla County EMTs promptly
arrived at my home.
Now I want to thank those
men and women from the
Wakulla County EMS Unit and
from the Life Flight crew from
Tallahassee who came to my
rescue. If it had not been for the
loving care and sincere dedica-
tion that they provided to me,
I probably would not be here

I know in my heart that

I apologize because I do not

each of you know who you are,
and I am forever grateful to each
and every one of you.
For anyone who may ever
need their services, please be
proud and grateful that you live

in Wakulla County, whose EMS

When 'Citizens To Be
Heard' Aren't Heard
Editor, T h'Neie'' '
It's Monday. I've been sitting
here trying .titeit:'whefir
to go to the BOCC meeting
tonight.
Mr. Brimner has "citizens
to be heard" on the agenda.
For discussion. I don't know if
people know what that item
means, but it means that Mr.
Brimner wants to discuss it, but
won't allow discussion from
citizens.
iAnd I find that pretty ironic
"Citizens to be Heard" with
no citizens able to be heard. So
much for democracy.
If the plan here is to embar-
rass Commissioner Kessler, I
would like to remind people
that Dr. Kessler voted to keep
"Citizens to be Heard" and has
gone to great lengths to work to
keep it. And he has made that
cear he's not hiding.
On the other hand, Mr.
Brimner voted for "Citizens to
be Heard," then wrote this long
letter/e-mail against it. Well, I
find this totally political on his
part and very two-faced. I also
find his comments about Dr.
Kessler very insulting, uncivil
and demeaning.
Mr. Brimner knocks Dr. Kes-
Ssler at every turn to advance his
political career. Well, "birds of a
feather" and all that, as I think
those that would ally with Mr.
Brimner are not in tune with
what citizens want.
Time after time we've seen
That people want open, fair,
transparent, accountable gov-
ernment with a level playing
field. Witness all the 'support
for the SLAPP suit benefits, the
uproar over the "Citizens to be
Heard" and more.
You know, I think I'll go
tonight. Not speaking about

"Citizens to be Heard" isn't any
fun. But watching Mr. Brimner
speak out of both sides of his
mouth ... well, that's priceless.

Birthday Thieves
Should Be Ashamed
.Editor, The News:
-On Sept. 2, I invited ap-
proximately 100 people, family
and friends into my home to
celebrate two birthdays. My
granddaughter turned 1 and
Smy son 23.
We had hamburgers' and
"ot dogs and all the fixings.
Everything was really nice. so
I heard.
The celebration was focused
on my granddaughter's first
birthday. In addition to celebrat-
ing her special day. my son also
received about 15 birthday cards
and gifts.
At the end of the day, my
son opened his cards and found
nothing. Imagine his disap-
pointment knowing that a few
people had given him, some
birthday money. Thanks to
someone at the party who
opened his cards and took his
money; And take this as a'warn-
ing to all who read this: "Be

If you are the criminal and

Commissioners found sup-
Sport for their MSBU increase at
the special meeting and added
that they did not anticipate
much opposition to the increase
at the public hearing.
But Commissioner Maxie
Lawhon said impacted property
owners should have the oppor-

assessment increase. When the
board discussed the possibility
of voting on the MSBU increase
on Sept. 18, Lawhon said indi-
viduals with multiple rentals
will be affected and will want
to speak.
The board also discussed
the possibility of increasing
the MSBU to $90 before falling
back to proposals of $40 and
$50, ultimately settling on the
$65 idea.
"We need an MSBU reserve
of $930,000 to get us on the

Budget
Continued from Page 1
Blanchard said the total cost
for the new items was $2.8
million. The budget included a
surplus of $51,800, which board
members put into the reserve
fund.
"I think the citizens want us
to start at a level ... with cuts
... that lower the millage," said
Commissioner Kessler. "I would
urge the board to consider a mill-
age rate lower than 8.21."
Resident Michael West asked
the board to consider raising im-
pact fees as a method to reduce
some of the tax burden being
place upon existing property
owners.
"I personally think the impact
fees are way too low," he said.
Commissioner Maxie Lawhon
responded, by saying a new
impact fee study is nearly com-
plete, and impact fees will be
going up. New residents pay
approximately $1,250 now, and
SLawhon estimated the fee could
jump to $3,000. Commercial rates
will' probably increase as well,
ne added. .
r.. "It's way too low; and. every-
%oidy onr the' board knows that,"
Commissioner Ed Brimner said
of impact fees.
Commissioner Kessler added
that the current impact fees are
based upon a 1997 consultant
study, and board members at
that time only adopted 25 per-
cent of the recommended fee for
new commercial development.:
SReal estate broker Ted Gaupin
told board members that sur-
rounding counties have low-
ered their millage rates to give
property owners some tax relief.
He recommended the county
S"tighten their belts" with an
impending real estate recession
on the horizon.
Dana Peck scolded board
members for not producing
a budget document residents
could take home and review.
Instead, the board allowed the
clerk's office financial staff to
project budget items pn two
screens on either side of the
board chambers.
"This is the people's money,"
said Peck. "How can the people
see how the money is being
spent? This Sunshine is get-
ting cloudier and cloudier," she
added, in reference to the state
Sunshine Law regarding public
access to documents.
Resident George Raimo added
that the county budget con-
tained a great deal of fat. "Take
a hard look at it," he said.
Other residents suggested
using a centralized and con-
solidated telephone system
and computer network to save
taxpayer money and avoid du-
plication of efforts.
"I'm a new resident," said Wil-
liam Dozier, formerly of Ohio.
"My welcome was my tax notice.
It was a rude shock. The county
needs to start tightening up."
Commissioners debated the
'value of new paid firefighters

and law enforcement officials.
Commissioner Brian Langston
said the paid firefighters, "are
something that is desperately
Neededd"
Commissioner Kessler said
the needs of firefighters and law
enforcement officials are impor-
tant. But he added that budget
changes are needed.
"It's time for the board to run
the budget and not be pulled by

Commissioner Lawhon asked
Kessler to provide suggestions of
i.

road to where we need to be,"
said David Harrison, president
of the Wakulla United Firefight-
ers Association. "The needs are
there."
Board members discussed es-
tablishing a variable MSBU rate
based on the size of the home.
But the discussion did not get far
before being withdrawn.
Commissioners agreed that
a portion of the updated impact
fees will go toward fire services,
giving the volunteer firefighters
three funding sources: MSBU,
general revenue and impact
fees. The new study of impact
fees has not yet been adopted
by the board.
Resident Ron Piasecki was
the first to suggest increasing
the MSBU to the $60 range as a
way of splitting the difference
between the existing $35 and
the proposed $90.
Jimmie Doyle asked the board
to use a $1.2 million road project
reimbursement from the Florida
Department of Transportation
to help the firefighters. Karen

where the county budget could
be cut. Lawhon noted that Kes-
sler wants a smaller budget but
has not provided any sugges-
tions of where he would reduce
spending.
"We all want to lower the
millage rate," said Lawhon.
"Nobody has gotten a budget
cut," said Commissioner Brim-
ner. "We're just reducing the
increase; The reserve is grossly
small."
Commissioners added the
$51,800 surplus to the $266,000
reserve prior to adjourning
the budget hearing. Last year,
the county had a reserve
fund of $299,000, according to
Blanchard.
This year, the total general
revenue fund is $20,560,355,
while the overall county budget
is $43,929,501.
Board members.did not take
any action to change the $:.5
MSBU special assessment for fire
services at the Sept. 12 meeting,
but said they hoped to address
it at a later date.

Ross stated her concern about
increasing insurance rates if the
firefighters are "not properly
funded."
Daniel Thompson said fire-
fighters are, "just as important as
the sheriff's office is" and should
be funded accordingly.
John Trice said he supported
higher millage rates to fund the
fire departments.
Commissioner Howard Kes-
sler concluded that the board
must find a way to fund the fire-
fighters while still attempting to
drive down the millage rate.

drunk on his birthday. "This is
his way of life," Fulford said.
While he has been in jail
on these charges, Fulford said,
Lewis sent a birthday card to the
victim in the Leon County case
indicating his fond memories
of her an incident that "com-

pletely traumatized this young
woman," Fulford said.
Defense attorney Lynn Alan
Thompson asked the court to
consider a lesser sentence since
Lewis was a critical witness in
the prosecution of the girl's fa-
ther on molestation charges. In
fact, it was Lewis who told FBI
agents at the time of his arrest

in Douglasville, Ga., about the
father's relationship.
Lewis' mother, Bonnie Mar-
shall, sat with other family
members as her son was sen-
tenced. After the hearing, she
said she was worried about her
sop being in Wakulla County,
claiming he had received several
death threats while in jail.

Brimner Ethics Charges Dropped

The Florida Commission
,: on Ethics recently dropped
two complaints against Wakul-
,^:. la County Commissioner Ed
Brimner, claiming that he had
!ij, misused public funds when he
,, mailed out a letter promoting
a local hotel for out-of-town
:.,: visitors.
S The letter, on Wakulla Coun-
ty letterhead and mailed with
postage paid for by the county,
-1, went to members of the Florida

Several

Owners

Seek Value

Adjustment
The Wakulla County Value Ad-
justment Board likely will have a
busy session at 9 a.m. Monday,
Oct. 9, as a record 22 applications
to appear before the board were
filed prior to the deadline on
Tuesday, Sept 12.
The Value Adjustment Board
includes three county commis-
sioners, Brian Langston, Henry
Vause and Ed Brimner, along.
with two school board members,,
Ray Gray and Greg Thomas.
Property owners can pay $15
to appear before the board and
appeal their property value as-
sessment. Wakulla County Prop-
erty Appraiser Anne Ahrendt
and her staff will also be given..
the opportunity to state their
case for why the assessments
have been set on the specific
parcels.
Based on the turnout in past
years, not all of the petitioners.
will actually appear before the
board, even though they have
filed a petition.

Association of Counties who
planned to visit Tallahassee
during the legislative session.
Brimner's letter encouraged
visitors to go to the Inn at
Wildwood and the Wildwood
Country Club in Medart. '
Since Brimner had no per-
sonal gain from his actions, the
ethics commission found there
was no violation.
Brimner said he was happy
with the decision of the ethics

commission.
The complaints against Brim-
ner were filed by Karla Brandt
and Hugh Taylor,
"I knew they were coming
to town," Brimner said of mem-
bers of the Florida Association
of Counties, "so I sent a let-
ter saying, 'Why not come to
Wakulla County."'
His intention, Brimner said,
was to have visitors spend
money in the county.

FWC Training Grads Have Wakulla Ties

Two graduates of the Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission's largest Training
Academy graduating class have
ties to Wakulla County.
Graduate Doyle Cook, for-
merly of Crawfordville, en-
joyed hunting and fishing and
watched FWC officers and their
predecessors educate people
about the importance of follow-
ing laws regulating saltwater
fishing and natural resources.
Cook received the coveted
achievement award, named
in memory of Officer Roy R.

Burnsed Jr., who died in 2001
in the line of duty.
After high school, Cook
joined the Marines and served
eight years of active duty as a
reservist. He graduated from
Florida State University with a
degree in criminology. During
his final semester, he completed
an internship with FWC, which
sealed his desire to become an
FWC officer.
"When I have children," the
married officer said, "I want to
make sure the resources have
not been depleted so my chil-

dren can enjoy the same way
I have."
Cook.is assigned to the Spe-
cial Enforcement Area in South
Florida and will patrol Collier
County.
Joseph Johnston, 21, of Lake

Klees'War Eagles Roll Past Rickards

By KEITH BLACKMAR
Of The Wakulla News
In August. Wakulla War Ea-
gles football coach Scott Klees
predicted that his experienced
defense would carry the offense
early in the season. It took four
games, but Klees was proved
correct.
The War Eagle defense domi-
nated a strong Rickards Raiders
team 20-0 Friday, Sept. 15, and
Wakulla used three big defen-
sive plays to score in winning
the district opener for both
squads.
Junior Nigel Bradham
showed why he is at the top
of the college wish lists as he
scored two touchdowns while
playing defense. Bradham re-
turned a fumble for a score in
the first half and returned an
interception for a touchdown
in the second half.
Kendell Gavin scored the
other War Eagle touchdown
on a short run after Darrion
Wilson returned another Rick-
ards fumble 25 yards to set up
the score.
"Ariy time you win a district
game it's a good win," said

Xavier Blocker
Klees. "The offense didn't play
as well as we had hoped, but
we came through on defense.
The defense has played well
all year."
Rickards fell to 0-3 on the
season, but the Raiders have
several talented skill position
players who had experience
from last season. Klees said the
Raiders had more team speed
than anyone Wakulla has faced
this year.
The War Eagle defense never
gave Rickards an opportunity

to get on track. The Raiders
had five turnovers in the game,
and three of the mistakes led to
Wakulla points.
Running back Xavier Blocker
helped Wakulla control the
game by running 18 times for
133 yards. He had three catches
for another 40 yards and was
named co-offensive player of
the week.
Kendell Gavin was named
co-offensive player of the week
with seven rushes for 42 yards
and two catches for another

School

Growth Forces COAST To Expand

The COAST Charter School
has a new home.
The only charter school in
the county, COAST recently be-
gan its eighth year of operation
by moving into a brand new
six-classroom addition. The new
classrooms join three existing
classrooms in the 1938 red brick
former St. Marks schoolhouse.
"If schools 'wore shirts,
Wakulla Charter School in St.
Marks would be popping but-
tons," said COAST board mem-
ber Dr. Andrea Carter.
This year, COAST is the edu-
cational home to 96 students
from pre-school age through
eighth-graders. The school
recently signed a five-year char-
ter with the Wakulla County
School. Board and obtained the
approval of the St. Marks City
Commission, which owns the
building.
The school was able to ob-
tain financing for the expansion
project from Wakulla Bank with
repayment of the loan being
made through the public educa-
tion capital outlay fund, which
may go to charter schools as
well as public schools.
A community-wide open
house was held for the public
on Aug. 31, and school staff and
students led visitors through
the 5,000 square feet of new
space.
The modular building was
built by Premier Modular Con-
struction of Orlando, and Mor-
ris Brown Construction of Craw-
fordville completed the on-site
installation.
"The additional space will
allowthe school to continue its
steady growth in enrollment,"
Dr. Carter said.

COAST Charter School Adds Classrooms

COAST, Charter School of
the Arts, Sciences and Technol-
ogy, earned a school grade of
"A" in 2005 "due to remarkable
academic improvement of its
students, especially in math,"
said Carter.
In 2006, COAST was assigned
a very high "C" grade, only five
points shy of a "B"
"The school boasts a low
pupil-teacher ratio and a closer
working relationship among
teachers and students.because
of its small size and family
atmosphere," added Carter.
"Students are likely to have the
same teacher for several years,
facilitating teachers better tar-
geting instruction to student
needs and developing good
working relationships with
parents."

The full-day preschool pro-
gram focuses on developing
reading and language skills
for 4-year-olds. It is funded
under Florida's voluntary Pre-K
program.
"COAST prides itself in a
strong instrumental and vocal
music program, and daily art
instruction," said Carter. "Both
ballet and Irish step-dancing are
offered to interested students.
Student dance and music groups
perform widely at community
events, and student artwork
adorns the walls of the building
and is displayed throughout the'
community."
Students have enjoyed the
environmental education pro-
gram, and the touch-tank aquar-
ium is a popular feature in the
auditorium.

The Iris Garden Club of
Wakulla County visits COAST
regularly and helps students
plant and tend to five school-
yard gardens. "Only a short
walk from the St. Marks River
and adjacent St. Marks Trail, the
school is ideally suited for great
walking field trips," Dr. Carter
concluded.
Charter schools are free,
public, parent choice schools,
For more information about
COAST, call the school at 48
Shell Island Road in St. Marks.
The school may be reached at
925-6344. Susan Flournoy is the
charter school principal against
this school year.
The Wakulla County Cham-
ber of Commerce held a ribbon
cutting for the new classrooms
Thursday, Sept. 14.

Student Population

Meets State Projections

Wakulla County School Dis-
trict administrators recently
revisited enrollment statistics
for the 2006-07 school year and
feel confident that state fund-
ing estimates were on the mark
when they were made during
the summer.
Superintendent David Miller
said the district enrollment has
climbed by 200 students since
opening day in August, to more
than 4,687.
State officials determine how
much money each district will
receive based on FTE counts that
are taken in October.
A recent enrollment count at
Wakulla High School counted
1,344 students, making WHS
the largest school in the district
and at its largest size in history.
Miller said the school will have
at least 1,300 students during
the state count period.
Wakulla Middle School has
grown by about 20 students, but
is still smaller than Riversprings.
Miller added that it is "a little
unusual" that WMS is smaller
than RMS since RMS was origi-
nally formed with students from
WMS. .
Crawfordville remains the
largest elementary school with
more than 825 students. Shadev-
ille is ranked second and Medart
is third in the latest enrollment
count.
In other school district mat-
ters:

of Colleges and Schools Council

provement (SACSCASI) will be

stage of district accreditation.

perceived views of the school '.
district Monday, Sept. 25. The '"
school board will hold a special '"
meeting Wednesday, Sept. 27, to t'0
discuss the interviews and the
entire process at 3 p.m. l
The process is the conclu-"~"
sion of a two-year study to get 3'
the school district accredited. vil
Miller said Wakullfa County is ,)I
the "third or fourth" Florida 'Ps
county to go through the pro-
cess and the first rural district,'
to complete it. The accreditation -o
process is in a five-year cycle. 33?
SThe Wakulla High Schools 1
fieldhouse project is behind rJ
schedule but is nearing its 3-
conclusion, according to Miller. i
The superintendent is hoping _i
to have the facility open by the
middle of October. The final ?
regular-season home game is no
Friday, Nov. 3. The cost of the iw
project will be $1.75 million to 1
$1.9 million. :r
The building will have locker
rooms, public restrooms, ticket :-
booths and concessions rolled
into one facility. The old conces- -7-A
sion stand on the northern end
of the stadium was demolished
to make room for the new
structure.
SWhen the school opened in
1967, athletes used the locker
rooms inside the school. The
locker rooms inside Reynolds -
Stadium opened in 1975 and.
have become substandard, Mill-
er said. The old locker rooms
will eventually be gutted. Coun-
cil Brothers of Tallahassee is the
project contractor.

Behind me is a diesel GMC

forcement lights, a special radio

the soul and inform you of the
i world events, tragedies, etc.
The truck is equipped with a
winch and can easily be shifted
Into four-wheel drive. I have a
cellular phone too, just in case
,the world needs me'(or vice
i:versa). I have a GPS (Global
SPositioning System) instrument
That can tell me in a matter of
'seconds/minutes exactly where
'I am, and it can also bring me
Back to the exact same spot.
SI've just entered the way-
point in the GPS of a hole in
ithe ground a burrow or den.
Using a small pocket-sized mir-
ror, I'm able to direct the sun's
rays directly into the hole, and
there it is a male, gopher
Tortoise with a shell about 11
"inches long and roughly five to
six inches' high;
SAs the sun's redirected light
intrudes upon the turtle's lair, it
exhales sharply and turns side-
'ways in the burrow. I can see the
;protrusion on its plastron (the
.ventral surface) that males use
,while establishing dominance
"in a territory. This protrusion
,is used to shove other males
around, preferably flipping one
i'over where the loser can die if
unable to right itself.
SIt occurred to me how incred-
ible it was that surrounded by
all this incredible technology,
I was viewing a creature that
has remained unchanged for
millions of years. They have
,been around since the age of
Dinosaurs (65 million years ago).
SDifferent species have come and
gone, but the basic tortoise has

Roughly 10,000 years ago,
while mammoths and mast-
odons, giant sloths and short-
faced bears roamed the conti-
nent along with camels the size
of giraffes, saber-toothed tigers
and American lions, the gopher
tortoise plodded along.
Among the giants, .like 500-
pound beavers and armadillos,
were giant' tortoises. Yes, right
here in Wakulla County, gophers
the size of Aldabra and Galapa-
gos tortoises roamed. I have a
fused bony plate of part of one
of those ancient carapaces (up-
per shell).
'The native gopher tortoise's
same bony plate is about the
size of a checker, but the plate
I have is roughly five-by-eight
inches and a good inch thick.
I also have pointed scales from
the front of the forelimbs.
These tortoises probably
weighed 500 pounds or more.In
Tate's Hell State Forest, there are
only a few areas that are basical-
ly high and dry the tortoise's
preferred' habitat. Most of this
huge forest is swamp: or wet
savannahs. Yet, I'm determined
to located the burrows and try
to save the few tortoises that
still remain there.
These high and dry, sandy
areas are the same exact habitat,
we humans prefer to develop
and build roads. During hard
times, pioneers loved to eat
these turtles many despite
protection are still being, con-
sumed!
It appears that next year the

We finally had a dry weekend,
and the fishing was pretty good.
There weren't a lot of boats on
the water, but with the good
tides and good weather pre-
dicted for this weekend, there
should be plenty.
If you didn't go fishing be-
cause you tailgated at the foot-
ball game, I'll bet you wish you
had been fishing. I'll say no
more. Scott said he was very
busy over the weekend, and he
said the best part of going to the
football game on Saturday night
was getting to park in Golden
Chief parking,
Richard Gardner fished Little
Pass and caught 10 reds that
were just under the slot. He
was using live shrimp. David
Terry and David Messier fished
around Gray Mare Rock, and
they caught their limit of trout
using top water plugs. Reed
Brown and Jeremy Brinkley also
fished near Gray Mare Rock, and
they caught two nice reds using
top water baits,
John Slupecki and his son
Jacob fished from a canoe at
Wakulla Beach and caught 10
trout, 1 blue and a shark. They
were using live pinfish. Mike
Walsh and Mack Duncan fished
near the Lighthouse and caught
eight reds and kept two. They
also caught trout, blues and
flounder using live shrimp and
cut ladyfish.
Jason' Borowski also fished
near the Lighthouse, and he
caught a limit of trout and some
mackerel. He was also using live
shrimp.
I asked Scott about freshwater
fishing, and he said nobody's
talking but he knows they're
catching plenty of fish (or. sure
feeding them) because he ran
out of worms and has sold thou-

sands of crickets. He did. say.
he heard Talquin was good for
catfish and shellcrackers; bass
and bream are being caught
in the Western Slough of the
Aucilla; and the Wakulla River
is producing lots of bream.
Circle J's said they are also
selling plenty of freshwater
baits and heard that Otter Lake
was producing quite a few
bream. Byron Sheffield fished
off Bottoms Road and caught
quite a few reds.
Capt. Jerry Alexander had
a charter on Sunday, and they
came in with 11 trout and four
reds. They fished near Gray
Mare Rock and caught every-
thing in about four feet of water
with live shrimp and jigs. The
biggest red they got was about
27 inches.
On Tuesday afternoon of last
week, I fished with Sara Voland
of Shell Point and her niece
Amy Crabtree and her niece's
husband, Steve, from Nashville,
Ind. (not Tennessee). In the last
part of the rising tide, we caught
our limit of reds and released 13
over 21 inches.
Steve was really getting dis-
gusted with his wife catching
most of the fish, but when he
caught a 28-inch, 11-pound fish
he was all smiles. We caught
everything on live pinfish under
a Cajun Thunder around the
oyster bars.
, On Sunday, I fished with
Bruce Thyer, his son John and
his nephew and they wanted to
fish for reds. Naturally, the reds
didn't bite very well, but we did
catch about three limits of trout.
Actually, we did catch seven
reds but only two were legal and
all they wanted was live shrimp,

same as the trout.
Mike Hopkins said this past
weekend was the best one he
has seen in a long time, plus
plenty of people are catching
fish. Trout and red fishing con-
tinues to be very good. Trout are
being caught using top water,
live shrimp, jigs, The Gulp and
pilchards. Best spots seem to be
:300 yards off the old Lorenzo's,
Umbrella Cove on St. George,
Ballast Cove, Point Shoals and
around Lanark Reef.
Lots of big oversize reds are
being caught in the cove past
Turkey Point Marine Lab. The
docks continue to produce reds
using gold' spoons. Plenty of
Spanish are still on Dog Island
Reef, and you'll also catch your
share of blue fish and ladyfish.
Offshore is still pretty slow,,
though some folks are catch-

ing fish.
Capt. Terry Caruthers picked
a good calm day last week and
trolled the 30 to 35 feet ledge off
Dog Island and Alligator Point
and caught eight gag grouper,
and five were legal. Capt. Billy
Giddens went to 90 feet of water
and caught lots of grouper, but
most were red grouper.
Capt. Tommy Robinson from
Apalachicola was telling Mike
they were diving off the Pirates
Lady and saw three small sail-
fish come up one day and three
more another day. I believe they
were in about 80 feet of water.
Remember to leave that float
plan and be careful out there.
With gas prices falling you'll
probably start seeing a few
more people on the water. Don't
forget to take those kids fishing.
Good luck and good fishing!

Say You Saw It In TheNews

SIn last week's column there
was a picture of Flotilla 13's new-
est members Yvette Graham
and Wes Lee. It wasa' very good
Picture, especially of Yvene. She
t looked very sharp in her work,
uniform- the word "work" must
have rubbed off on her.
On Thursday morning, she
- met Jim McGill and I at the Shell
Point Auxiliary Station. She was"
ready for a quick review and
:then the Auxiliary Communica-
tions specialty course on-line
exam.
Jim is our member training
officer and also the qualified
Proctor for the specialty courses.
f I was there as his assistant in-,
I structor.
As soon as we received word
that she had passed the course,
she immediately asked me if
there were any other courses she
could bestudying while she was:
"home" in Lake City.
Of course, I wasted no, time
giving her books for the Patrols
course and the Seamanship.
course. She will be gone until
the first part of April (unless she
decides to make a quick trip up
to take another test.)

She will be on her way to

That is about all the news
there is from Flotilla 13 (Shell
Point). Several of our members
will be attending the .Division
conference in Panama City next
weekend.

This certainly has been a year
packed full of diversified activi-
ties for Flotilla 12 at St. Marks.
The Coast Guard Auxiliary Divi-.
sion 1 and District 8, as well
as their friends, are extremely
proud of them.
And now, Carolyn Treadon's

Duane & Carolyn Treadon Explore Lighthouse

the part of many individuals and
organizations, Saturday began
with the opening of St. Marks
Lighthouse to the public. For Flo-
tilla 12, this was a special event
as we used to have our station
based in the lighthouse.
Tim Ashley, along with Duane
and Carolyn Treadon, represent-
ed the Flotilla. After setting up
the boating safety booth in the
yard and raising the American
flag on the Auxiliary flagpole,
we had time to look around the

interior, In the old radio room
was a roster of membership dat-
ing back to May of 20011
While I was not a part of the
flotilla at that time, I have had
the pleasure of many stories.
One that I can now attest to
"personally, the current residents
of the lighthouse are not timid
around visitors We had several
snakes in the building through-
out the day, thank goodness
none of great concern ... guess
they just wanted to be a part of

the celebration; It was not dif- -
ficult to imagine the lighthouse
up and running as we walked
throughout the interior and
exterior. :
Since it was also a patrol day,
Steve Hults motored his facility
Fin-Lee. over to the Refuge to
pick up his crew, Tim Ashley
and Carolyn Treadon, and then
they proceeded on patrol. Duane
stayed back at the lighthouse to
staff the booth.
While the waters were choppy
in close to shore, once we made
it to the center channel marker,
the water was smooth and calm.
With a successful patrol, Steve
dropped us back at the refuge
and we headed back to the
lighthouse. Steve motored back
to load up Fin-Lee.
As the day drew to a close,
we had the opportunity to go to
the top of the lighthouse. In one
word, it was amazingly The view
is spectacular and breathtaking,
or maybe it was the hike to the
top that took our breath away.
When we had to return to reality
and call it a day, Duane lowered
the flag with help from Tim. All
and all it was a rather memo-
rable, although very hot, day.
We greatlyenjoyed getting to
meet others who are as passion-
ate about the lighthouse as we
are and as invested in maintain-
ing the integrity of its history.
Like Flotilla 13, next weekend
many of us will head over to
Panama City for the Fall Division
Conference. More about that in
next week's column."

Wilson Wins FSU Tickets

The Wakulla War Eagle Grid-
iron Club has no question that
the winner of Florida State
University football tickets has
an interest in football.
Senior.War Eagle football
player Darrion Wilson won the

officially received the tickets
from Gridiron Club President

shorts, a team logo and shirts.
"The players look forward to

WHS players are required to
sell a minimum of 10 tickets,
and Wilson purchased the
tickets himself in hopes of win-
ning the prize. Wilson said he
is especially looking forward to
attending the FSU game against
Florida at the end of the regular,
season.
"Through the support of
Wakulla Bank and so many of:
our area businesses, the Grid-
iron Club is able to allow the
War Eagle football team to con-
tinue to compete as one of the
top programs in the Big Bend,"
Taylor said. "We certainly could
not do this without the gener-

. -. -Auitomatic Homestead Exem ptionRenewal -

It's Like Keeping up to $522 in Your Pocket.

77' 7 / 7

Just Another Reason to Keep Anne Ahrendt Your Property Appraiser.

A akulla County was one of the few Florida counties to
Snot automatically renew Homestead Exemption for
Sits citizens. If citizens forgot to renew their homestead
exemption, they lost tax-protection worth $522. The vast
majority of Florida's counties renewed their citizens' exemption
,automatically since it protects homeowners' interests.

Anne Ahrendt decided it was time to bring the Wakulla
County Property Appraiser's Office into the 2ist Century and
protect your interests as well. So she renews your homestead
exemption each year. Automatically. It's like keeping up to $522
in your pocket. Especially in times of skyrocketing property tax
bills, it is just plain common sense and courtesy.

It was just one of the many common-sense
solutions Anne Ahrendt implemented to protect
property owners and taxpayers.

Whether it's making sure all properties are fairly and
accurately assessed so no one is given preferential treatment or
unfairly taxed. Or protecting homeowners through "Save Our
Homes," which limits the growth of assessments. And making
sure individuals qualified for extra exemptions veterans,

www.Ann

widowers, and those-with certain disabilities are given the tax
protections to which they are entitled.

Anne Ahrendt has also made property information
available for your review- totally free of charge and available
24-hours a day at mywakullapa.com. She offers constantly
updated sales information, modernized computer GIS mapping
to make sure all property lines are precisely measured, and in-
house property maps for your inspection.

These are just a few of the taxpayer-benefiitti
accomplishments Anne made her first two years. And exames
of the positive changes she would like to make for the futie.

That's why she asks for your vote, on Nov iber
7th.

BACK TO THE BASICS

IN POLITICS

In a democracy are certain fundamental' basics, without
which no good and sound democratic government is pos-
sible. If I'm privileged to serve as Wakulla County Com-
missioner, District 2, I pledge to work diligently with fel-
.low commissioners to promote the basics in politics and
George N. Green to make our county government reflective of the needs of
the citizens of Wakulla County.
The following are some principles one might consider in defining.good
government:
Integrity: Only make promises you can keep, keep promises
you make, and always "play with your cards above board."
Dependability: Let your actions and deeds reflect yourword.
We vs. I: Good and sound government has to actively reflect the
philosophy: "we the people" and never "I" or a "selective few."
It is the whole of our society (Wakulla County) that is the priority.
Governance with Caring: Treat everybody with dignity and respect-
the rich and the poor, the literate and the illiterate, the have and the
have-nots. And, always be aware that the "bells tolls for thee."
When it comes to persons chosen to give leadership, which to a great extent
impacts the destiny of a people, Josiah Gilbert Holland puts it well:
God give us men! A time like this demands strong minds, great hearts, true
faith, and ready hands; ...
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie'

i New Puppies Are Worth Hard Work
By HEIDI CLIFTON -,of course, all dog owners time you put into loving, caring
President, CHAT of Wakulla, Inc. wi think that their dog is smart. and training will pay off.
www.chtowakulrca.orgedcute He learned to walk on the lead CHAT is using some of their
Little English bulldog uv. A .pA in no time. Bulldogs are easily fundsto have an outside cat
little English bulldog gpuppm

Don't ask my why, but we did.
At the age of five months, his
weight has reached 38 pounds.
Most of our lives, we stuck
with the hound group when
choosing a new dog. Let's blame
this dog on my husband. He has
always wanted a bulldog.
The puppy is adorable, and
we named him, "Mostly Mis-
chief Nigel." I had forgotten
how much trouble a puppy can
be. It has been over 10 years
since we had one.
Nigel is intrigued with the
bathroom, and toilet paper
seems to be on the top of his
amusement list. The shower

curtain seems to be a lot of
fun, too.
He annoys the existing dogs
in the pack; and they do not
seem to appreciate his little
sharp teeth. To put it mildly,
they hate his guts. And why
wouldn't they? The little pup
is getting a lot of attention and
plenty of new toys. Even though
the adult dogs have not played
with toys in years, they are now
stealing and hiding the toys
from the' baby.
Nigel is a pretty smart dog

bribed with treats, and we will
take advantage of that when
trying to teach him new things.
We crate train him, and there
haven't been any accidents for a
long time. Some people believe
that crate training is cruel. It re-
ally isn't. After a while, the crate

"The Sky is Falling!"
It seems like once or twice a
week I hear or read about the
doom and gloom of the housing
market these days. Often, the
blame is placed squarely on the
shoulders of current interest rates.
Comments such as "interest rates
are out of sight", "we're getting
close to double digits", or my
most recent favorite, "I haven't
seen interest rates this high since
Jimmy Carter was President."
Although it seems many think the
sky is falling while interest rates
soar, let's take a quick look at the
realities.

Susan
Council

According to HSH Associates
Financial Publishers, mortgage.
interest rates last week nationally
were 6.46% for a 30-year fixed
rate mortgage (FRM), 6.09% for
a 15-year FRM, and 5.72% for a
one-year adjustable rate mortgage
(ARM). Rates in Florida aver-
aged within a tenth of a percent of
the national rates. Surprise, sur-
prise current mortgage rates are
at their lowest level since March
of this year!
How about the Jimmy Carter
comment? In the early 1980's the
mortgage interest rate peaked at
18.9%. That's nearly three times
the current interest rate. Don't
let talk of high interest rates scare
you: Call me and I can help elim-
inate the misconceptions on the
way to your new home purchase.

County Needs More Time For Public Works Decision

By KEITH BLACKMAR
Of The Wakulla News
Wakulla County Commis-
sioners amended the existing
public works contract with Veo-
lia Water Systems on Monday,
Sept. 18, to give themselves
more time to decide the future
operations of public works.
Veolia's contract, formerly
Professional Services Group
(PSG), expires on Sept. 30, but
board members extended the
contract until Nov. 30.
Wakulla County Administra-
tor Joe Blanchard said three
firms, including Veolia, have

submitted Request For Quali-
fication (RFQ) documents in
an effort to do the work for
the county. The other firms
submitting proposals are OMI
and ESG.
Blanchard said that a com-
mittee will review the qualifica-
tions and make a recommenda-
tion to the board. "We'll either
have a new contractor in place
or an extended contract for PSG
(Veolia)," Blanchard said. ,
Resident Dana Peck com-
plained that Veolia is being paid.
for services it is not performing,
Randy Merritt, Veolia project

manager, has repeatedly denied
Peck's claim. She added that the
county audit has noted for sev-
eral years that there aren't any
monetary controls or safeguards
at the landfill when staff collect
tipping fees.
Resident Larry Roberts ques-
tioned the timing of the action.
He said the board should have
addressed the Veolia contract
several months ago.
Commissioner Howard Kes-
sler said he has questioned the
validity of the Veolia contract on
a number of occasions. Wakulla

Tree Ordinance Shapes Up

Ochlockonee Bay

By KEITH BLACKMAR
Of The Wakulla News
Members of the Wakulla
County tree and landscape
ordinance committee met in
a workshop session with the
Wakulla County Commissioners
Monday, Sept. 18, to bring the
county one step closer to tree
protection in the community.
The committee discussed
work that has taken place
on the proposed ordinance
since the group was formed in
March.
David Damon, chairman of
the committee, said the group
will review the comments of
citizens and chamber of com-
merce members attending the
workshop in an effort to con-
sider all suggestions.
Damon added that two more
committee, workshops will be
held Sept. 28 and Oct. 5 at 4 p.m.
at the Wakulla County Library
to consider updates to the docu-

ment. He promised the board
that the group would return
with a document that incorpo-
rated the suggested changes at
a future date.
Damon said the committee
went into the project seeking
a document that was "not a
burden to development" but
also eliminated projects where
clear-cutting of trees occurred.
The committee and Con-,
cerned Citizens of Wakulla
(CCOW) had proposed a require-
ment of 35 percent of the parcel
, remaining in open space, but
the requirement was reduced
to 25 percent after discussions
with the chamber of com-
merce..
Paul Johnson of the chamber
of commerce said the group
"strongly endorses" the docu-
ment with a 25 percent open-
space rule.
"The chamber is not inter-
ested in reducing the amount

of space that businesses have
to operate," said Johnson.
Chuck Hess added that the
ordinance needs to protect
larger trees while "protecting
the quality and character of the
county."
Daniel Thompson said he
was "humbled by the amount
of time spent on this" by the
committee members.
"I'd be in favor of the 35
. percent open space," said Com-
missioner Howard Kessler. "But
whatever it takes to: get this
tree ordinance forward," needs
to be done.
"The 25 percent gives the
designer a little more flexibility
on the parcel," said committee
member John Shuff.
A goal of the committee,
said committee member Kathy,
Shirah, was to give developers
incentives to protect trees by
saving the developers money
in landscaping costs.

"A wonderful attribute of
Wakulla County citizens!is their
willingness to volunteer hours
of their time to improve the
lives of others," said Commis-
siorer Brimner. "This draft [of
the] tree and landscape ordi-
nance is the result of hundreds
of hours of time given to us by
a dedicated committee."
"I want to thank everyone on
the committee for their work,"
Commissioner Maxie Lawhon
concluded. "Everyone is work-
ing well together, and the plan
is coming together."

Youths Made Difference At Cleanup

S By MARJLAW
Keep Wakulla County Beautiful
.Volunteers from all over
thronged to coastal areas to
participate in the International
Coastal Cleanup on Saturday.
The CleanUp, held world-wide
on the third Saturday of Septem-
ber, is a huge effort coordinated
by the Ocean Conservancy to
raise awareness of harmful ef-
fects of litter in our waters and
alongour coastlines, and to
teach our young people that the
only way to remedy this problem
is for everyone to take personal
responsibility for litter.
Vast numbers of people came
here from other countries which
have no coastline, and the
weather cooperated' with puffy-
clouded blue skies. Site captains
were waiting. loaded with trash'
bags. gloves, data cards and loca-
tions to clean.,
Volunteers arrived anytime
from 8:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m.
One of our faithful volunteers
came from Georgia!
Keep Wakulla County Beau-
tiful's (KWCB's) sites included
Mashes Sands Park, which was
handled by Danny Clayton and
the Florida Coastal Manage-
iient Program.'The'site was *6elf
covered with volunteers, and
they covered a lot of property.
Unfortunately, it was high tide.
and they were unable to reach
some areas they wanted.
The beach at Shell Point is al-
ways a favorite. Maclay School's
Green Club came out in big num-
bers! They worked really hard.
and came away with many bags
of trash. One item they located
was a 55-gallon drum. which
they sensibly left alone. Mvaclay
School must be big in promoting
environmental education
Boy Scouts seem to like the
boat landing site at St. Marks.
They caine out.in big numbers,
and the Riverside Cafe offered
them coldsoft drinks and water.
We worked with Sandy Cook, of

Wakulla Springs, at Cherokee
Springs. Sandy had arranged'
for divers to clean the bottom
of the sink.
She needed volunteers to
assist the divers by. taking the
trash from them and bringing it
to a site to be hauled away.
The St. Marks Refuge's vol-
unteers worked within the
Refuge, and along'roads that
surrounded the Refuge. Some
of their volunteers were able to
visit the Lighthouse, which was
a special tieat. I
Together, all sites within the
county collected tons of trash. In
addition, KWCB held its "Weigh
Your Butts" contest. This is a pro-
gram designed to draw attention
to the number of cigarette butts
tossed on the ground. Butts are

found four times'more often
than any other kind of trash,
and can be ingested by birds
and small mammals. So, even
though they are small, they are
very important'as pieces of trash
we need to pick up.
bur contest yielded a lot of
butts! We weighed them, and
we came to a total of 6.5 pounds
of butts!
I'd -have to re-dd the math,
.but once I actually weighed
butts and came to 212 butts per
quarter-ounce. This is a huge
amount.,
Volunteers worked hard and
had a great time. Adding all
sites, well over 1,000 volunteers
came to clean Wakulla County's
coastline and low lying areas of
trash. It was a great day!
