But it's still not clear why Spring Creek isn't flowing. Hal Davis, of the U.S. Geolog- ical Survey, who was presenting some preliminary findings this week from a study of Wakulla Springs, said it appeared that clean groundwater that had been flowing to Spring Creek is being diverted and is now flow- ing at Wakulla Springs. Davis, appearing at a Lunch and Learn seminar on Tuesday, Oct. 24, in Tallahassee, noted that Wakulla Springs had for- merly flowed at around 400 cubic feet per second. That has recently increased, he said, to 600, 700, even 800 cubic feet per second. Cal Jamison, the springs am- bassador for the state Depart- ment of Environmental Protec- tion, noted that Wakulla Springs has been boiling recently, with a flow that appeared to be an inch above surface water. Jamison, who identifies karst features for DEP, said that some local streams and swamps have dried up. Lost Creek, for exam- ple, which is strongly believed to have a connection to Spring Creek, is not flowing. Angela Chelette of the North- west Florida Water Management District said that the reasons for the recent changes could be low rainfall, high tides, or some changes in the underground system of caves and tunnels that conduct groundwater. The changes in the area are "indicative that something has changed in the plumbing," Please turn to Page 24 Bottling Plant Officials Monitoring Situation By WILLIAM SNOWDEN Of The Wakulla News It's not clear if the Spring Creek flow problems will have any effect on a proposed water bottling plant, but the firm's officials are paying close at- tention.

On Monday, Oct. 23, Wakulla County Commissioners voted unanimously to nearly double the special assessment from $35 to $65 per year. The action was' taken at a specially called meeting. A sparse turnout for the meeting was dominated by po- litical candidates seeking public office and volunteer firefighters. None of the individuals attend- ing the meeting spoke against the proposal to increase the fire protection fee. Sopchoppy residents Daniel Thompson and Larry Roberts were the only members of the audience to speak about the fee. Thompson said he supported the increase of the fire fee after Photos By Lynda Kinsey Pumpkin Patch Kids The pumpkin patch at Shadeville Elementary is in full swing.

Sopchoppy Public Works Director Bill Stephens will retire on Oct. 31 after a career that has spanned four decades. The city and the county will have to cope without his magnetic personality. His wife, Bobbie, will follow him into retirement in February when she concludes her county and Veolia Water Systems career that started only two years after her husband's. The 'outgoing and friendly Bill Stephens was honored with a retirement party at the old Sop- choppy Gym on Thursday, Oct. 19, as well-wishers celebrated with the former Lakeland and Thomasville, Ga., resident. "I have divided emotions," he said. "I'm going to keep on working part time with South- ern Water Services for now." The private contractor has "witnessing the devastating ef- fects of a fire" at a younger age. "Nothing is free in this world, and that includes fire protec- tion," he said. Thompson suggested that commissioners consider special assessments against all parcels and not just parcels with struc- tures. The risk of fire on vacant "paicels exists as it does un inm proved parcels, he said. Roberts agreed with Thomp- son and said volunteer firefight- ers do respond to fires of'raw acreage, however, as a large parcel owner, he did not agree with a blanket fee for undevel- oped land. Commissioner Maxie Lawhon said the Oct. 23 hearing was set to discuss the fee increase, not a change in the method of col- lection.

Bill and Bobbie moved from Lakeland to give their'chil- dren access to the best school system possible and to enjoy the quiet lifestyle Sopchoppy offered back then and continues to offer today. "The schools in Lakeland were going through changes, and we were looking to get back to a smaller town," said Stephens. The family visited his sister, the late Vivian Campbell, in Sopchoppy and were hooked on the idea of moving. "We sold everything we owned in Lakeland on a prayer," said Bobbie. "We had visited Sopchoppy, and it was so quiet. It took you a while to get used to the quiet."

In County $25, Out of County $30 Out of State $35, Out of Country on Request I - My View Being An Activist Requires Toughness Those who are concerned about the recent SLAPP suit against three activists of Con- cerned Citizens of Wakulla (CCOW) might be surprised to learn that this is not really anything unusual. Those who are concerned about recent efforts by Wakulla County Commissioners to re- strict citizens' ability to speak at public meetings might be interested in the long history of attacks by the Wakulla County Commission and state agencies on Gulf Specimen Marine Labo- ratory, resulting from our citizen activism as environmentalists. The non-profit laboratory runs educational programs for over 16,000 people annually and supports research at more than 1,400 universities and colleges throughout the United States. All of the events listed below are documented by newspaper clippings and legal documents, which are available for public inspection. 1971: Jack Rudloe was a plain- tiff in a lawsuit over the fence on the Wakulla River. -He was sued for legal fees by Ed Ball's attorney. 1972: Following public criti- cism of the state's failure to protect wetlands, the Florida Department of Natural Re- Comment Anne Rudloe sources, joined by the Wakulla County Commission, attempted unsuccessfully to revoke state permits to collect marine life, 1975: Following opposition to proposed development in' coastal wetlands, the Wakulla County Commission unsuc- cessfully attempted to force the removal of Gulf Specimen's seawater intake line from Dick- erson Bay. 1979: Jack Rudloe was ar- rested after opposing plans to dredge Dickerson Bay, but the charges were quickly dropped by the state attorney. 1987: Following opposition to marina development by a brother of a then-commis- sioner, the Wakulla County Commission again attempted to force the closure of the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab aquarium. Equipment was vandalized, and Jack Rudloe was again threatened with arrest when he reported the damage. 1987: Jack Rudloe was SLAPP- sued by the developer of the proposed marina. 1988-2002: Staff of the Flori- da Division of Marine Resources repeatedly attempted to deny or revoke collecting permits, which would have/forced the closure of Gulf Specimen Ma- rine Lab. These attacks didn't work due to lack of any permit violations or other violations of any sort. Many agency staff insisted throughout that we were no different from a com- mercial seafood processing plant, despite our award-win- ning educational, research and conservation activities. 2005: Jack Rudloe told au- thorities he had a log slammed into his leg during an argument at a development site in Pana- cea, but law enforcement wasn't interested. The cause-and-effect nature of these events is quite clear from the remarks of officials quoted in the press clippings. These attacks happened against a background of constant slan- derous gossip, ostracism and middle-of-the-night telephone death threats. But, take heart, new activ- ists: The hostility need not stop you! From 1972 to 2003, we were also able to accomplish a few things. The salt marsh at Fid- dlers Point was saved from real estate development, the St Marks Wildlife Refuge was forced to stop clear-cutting its rare longleaf pine forest on a commercial scale, a sewage treatment plant was not built in the middle of the St Marks National Wildlife Refuge, the pristine sea grasses of St. Jo- seph Bay were not dredged for a marina, and dredging of Dick- erson Bay in conjunction with a county pier did not happen. Working with many others, we also contributed signifi- cantly to restricting commercial clear-cutting of longleaf pine on the Apalachicola National Forest, adding a 1,000-acre tract of land to the St Marks National Wildlife Refuge, and the public acquisition of Tate's Hell in Franklin County. It is unsettling to think that government is not always as it should be. And rather than think that, some might assume that where there is smoke, there is fire and we must have been guilty of something more than activism. We were not. It's just how the game is played here and everywhere else. Welcome aboard, new activists, but be mentally and legally prepared for the counterattack. Anne Rudloe writes from Panacea. My View Commissioners Not True To Their Word I have always taken verbal commitments as a binding contract. I take my position very seriously and have always lived up to my agreement. I expect the other parties to live up to their portion qfh contact. On Monday. Oct. i6.1 was informed that the Bdard'of County Com- missioners was not going to honor their position. Several years ago, the board requested that the citizens of Wakulla County vote for a one-cent sales tax designated for paving roads in the county based on the paving matrix. The increased sales tax revenue would be used to justify a bond issue. A list of 27 road group- ings was published. This list was generated to take "politics" out of the road paving project. After the one-cent sales tax increase was approved by the voters, the commissioners de- cided that only 60 percent of the tax would go to the road paving and the other 40 percent would Comment Dorman A. Martindale go to other infrastructure. At Monday night's commis. sion meeting, Commissioner ,Kessler had an item on the agenda regarding road paving of county-owned neighborhood roads. The roads in my neigh- borhood were ranked 12th on the list and the roads at Oyster Bay were ranked 17th. Nineteen of the roads on the list of 27 approved projects have been paved, but six have been placed on hold. The roads in my neigh- borhood and Oyster Bay are two of the six roads that fall into the on-hold status. This has created impatience because many roads with much lower priorities have been paved. During the discussion, Commission Chairman Lawhon stated that he considered the list only a guide and that they had approved these other roads. The commissioners stated that the paving policy had not been changed, but changes were be- ing considered. Commissioner Brimner stat-- ed that no funds were available for paving roads. which I find extremfiely unbelievable' s-ince we have just started a new budget..I believe that sufficient funds are presently in the bud-, get for paving roads and that Commissioner Brimner should have verified his information. Many of our citizens have. donated right-of-way to widen their roads with the promise of paving. I submitted my written comments to the board in time to be inserted in the notebooks for the commissioners to be aware of the issue. I attached summaries of the funds expend- ed since the paving program began. A representative of the Oyster Bay neighborhood also spoke of the promises made about paving their roads. Copies of the county finan- cial expenditure records from February 1999 to present'show more than $16.500.000 has been paid for paving roads, but do ..ot distinguish whether first- '3fifne'paving or repaying. Some of the reports are detailed; while others are limited in detail. No. source of funding is listed on most projects. It appears that Commission- er Kessler is the only member of the board who believes that the county should live up to its commitment to paving, while the other members believe they can wiggle out of their share of the verbal contract. Two ofthe commissioners, at one time or another, seconded the motion to honor their com- mitment, but later withdrew their seconds and let the mo- tion die for lack of second. This precluded a vote; Dorman A. Martindale writes from Crawfordville. More Views Candidate Cares For All Wakulla Residents Editor, The News To borrow an expression from the late-night TV hosts, there are five good reasons to retain Dr. Howard Kessler as the District 4 County Commis- sioner. No. 5: Dr. Kessler believes that every citizen has a right to be heard, whether he agrees with their opinion or not. He supports the agenda item for citizens to be heard at county commission meetings and op- poses turning off the cameras. He tries to bring citizens' con- cerns to the commission during his part of the agenda. No. 4: Dr. Kessler acts on the needs of the community. He recognizes that most Wakulla residents do not live in mega- bucks houses and cannot pay outrageous taxes. He is genu- inely interested in the local resi- dents, their needs and wants. He listens, promptly returns phone calls and responds to letters. No. 3: Dr. Kessler does exten- sive research on issues before, the commission and does not act in a careless manner. How many times have you heard fel- low commissioners say some- Letters Policy The Wakulla News welcomes your letters, but we request that you adhere to the following guidelines: Letters should not be longer than 300 words. They must include the writer's name, home address and telephone number. (Only name and town will be listed; the rest is used solely for the purpose of verification.) Writers may be limited to one letter per month, depending upon space limitations. With very few exceptions, anonymous letters will not be published.

I? thing along the lines of, "How do I know those facts are true?" To which he should reply (but does not because he is a gentle- man) "you would if you did any research." No. 2: Despite constant ha- rassment by some other com- missioners and even some county staff, Dr. Kessler has maintained his dignity and decorum. Unlike some other sitting commissioners, he does not sling mud nor make de- spairingly comments to, or about, his colleagues. The No. 1 reason to re-elect Dr. Kessler is that he is under no obligation to any particular group or organization. He has no personal agenda. He is hon- est to a fault and has no extend- ed family in Wakulla County to "look out for." His decisions and votes are always based on facts, logic and the need of Wakulla's residents. Valerie LaHart Panacea Paving Should Not Be A Political Process Editor, The News, At the Oct. 16 meeting of the Wakulla County Commis- sion, the citizens of Wakulla County learned the following: road paving remains political; There is no public road-paving schedule (the matrix is merely a "guide" to the roads that are unpaved), there is no budgeted money available for roads, and previous commitments to neighborhoods (April 17, 2006 BOCC Meeting) would not be honored. How was the one-cent road tax expended and who actu- ally makes decisions regarding which roads are to be paved? For the citizens who inquire, there is no structure, process or oversight of this important issue. I urge The Wakulla News to regularly report on the prog- ress of road paving in Wakulla County so that the citizens can observe their politics at work, supporting developments and special interests rather than neighborhoods that have justi- fied critical needs. No plan, no process, no money. Is this efficient gover- nance? Barney Parker Vice President, Oyster Bay Home Owners Association READ WITH A CHILD 20 MINUlTES A DAY ...

Florida won a groundbreaking lawsuit with the tobacco industry resulting in a $13 billion settlement. A portion of the funds helped launch a program designed to educate youth about the dangers of tobacco use. The program resulted in dra- matic decreases in teen smoking rates in Florida, and became a model for other states. Since the Florida Legislature has cut the program's fund- ing, youth smoking rates are no longer on a rapid decline. Meanwhile, the tobacco industry continues to pump more money every year into marketing its deadly products in Florida. Big Tobacco spent just un- der $400 million marketing in Florida in 1998; today that total has swelled to about $1 billion. Amendment 4 will require the legislature to spend 15 percent of Florida's annual tobacco settlement funds on a program directed primarily at youths to teach them about the dangers of tobacco use. Support Amendment 4 and you are helping save thousands of Florida's young people from a premature death due to tobacco addiction. Let's senc4a clear mes- sage to our elected officials and the tobacco companies that Floridians will continue to lead the way in reducing the deadly consequences of tobacco use.

Wayne Creel Crawfordville Candidate Already Has Accomplished Much, Editor, The News: I want to share a fact that I'm not sure is well known in our county. Last year, unknown to most homeowners, the state Department of Revenue was on the brink of abolishing our county's homestead exemptions. Yes, that's right, our $25,00 hotnestead. exemption was in jeopardy! Our county was under an executive order by the state mandating the Wakulla Property Appraiser to adjust land values to meet the state's requirements by July 1, 2005. What that means is that the Wakulla Property Appraiser had no choice but to comply or all property owners in the county would have lost their homestead exemptions. The purpose of this informa- tion is not about how the situa- tion occurred, but to make sure that you know that a competent person took the reins of the property appraiser's office last year and saved our homestead exemptions. Within six weeks of being appointed, Anne Ahrendt: mobilized the staff to begin the task of recording current and accurate land appraisals to meet the state's requirements: streamlined the office to reduce operating costs and be more productive; installed technology to catch up with other counties and provide better access to the public; and, met the state's July 1 dead- line -- saving our homestead exemption. In my book, Ann Ahrendt is someone who is tireless and is doing what is right, and that describes her on-the-job perfor- mance as the Wakulla County Property Appraiser. We're lucky she's running now to be elected this Nov. 7 to the job she has proved over and over again that she can do so well, Wakulla Property Appraiser. Please ask your friends and family what qualities they want in an elected official, and they'll probably say someone who's competent, efficient, qualified and, above all, honest. S.T. Keeler Crawfordville Proof Of Candidate's Worth Can Be Seen Editor, The News: There are two fine people running for the office of Property Appraiser in Wakulla County. Both are honest, hard-working and eager to serve the public. Both are active in the commu- nity. So how do you choose between them? I am basing my decision on performance. In the short time that Ms. Ahrendt has been the Property Appraiser, she has made remarkable improvements in the operation and efficiency of the office. Not long ago, if one needed to research the county records, it required a trip to the courthouse and a great deal of time research- ing the infrequently updated records. Today, everything is as close as your office or home computer. The Property Appraiser's Web site has made it easy to find everything you need regarding any piece of property in the county: parcel number, assessed value, owner, deed recording information, date and value of improvements and even aerial photographs. These updates have not only made the Property Appraiser's information more accessible to the public, they have saved the taxpayers money that was previ- ously spent on staff time doing research. Another improvement, the automatic homestead ex- emption renewal, is the most practical improvement we've seen in a long time. I remember thinking every time I put that little card in the mail how silly it was to have to do it every year. The first thing Anne did was eliminate this hassle. Mr. Sparkman has been the Planning Director over the past three years. Need to know the zoning or comprehensive plan designation of your property? Don't bother to look on line; the only records are kept on the tattered zoning maps located in the Planning office. Many hours of staff time are spent researching this infor- mation and preparing zoning letters, for which the public is charged a fee. God forbid that we ever have a fire in the Planning Office; all these records would be destroyed. I urge everyone to consider the proven performance of the candidates for Property Apprais- er and to vote for Anne Ahrendt on Nov. 7. Belinda H.

Doesn't it make you feel so alive? Much better than that suffocating heat we had. I just wish it would stay this way year-round. Yep, some say it makes your bones hurt, but my bones hurt anyhow. I live with so much pain every day that it really doesn't make any difference if it turns cold or hot. Pain just stays right there waiting for me to dare to move my body. But it's OK' One day this too shall pass. I am so blessed in other ways. Listen up people! Halloween is now almost upon us and you need to go with your kids if they go trick or treating. Also check their candy, etc. Some people do come from other places you know; better to be safe. And for those of you who will be out driving around, please watch out for the children running across the streets. They get ex- cited at times like this. Neighbor alert! Our Ethel at ST.

S"We welcome any pictures and mementos as we look back on the past 140 years." SOn July 7, 1866, the trustees iof the Crawfordville United Methodist Episcopal Church purchased four lots to erect a church facility. In 1907, the first church building was completely destroyed by fire. The church site relocated and a new building was constructed from the sal- vaged material of the torn-down parsonage. In 1928, this second church was extensively remodeled. The early history of the church was one of many boundary and pastor changes. New church facilities were built In August, 1950, and again in 2001, where I worship continues today. New pastor, Tony Rosen- berger, joined the church in August and will be delivering the morning message. The identity of the first pastor is not known, according to the conference journal. The-journal does reveal that a Reverend Enoch Giles was appointed from 1868 to1869, and was responsible for all the ,Methodist churches in Wakulla County. For further information, please call the church office at 926-7209.

Page 8-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Oct. 26, 2006 County Works On Boat Speed Laws By KEITH BLACKMAR Of The Wakulla News For many years, the Wakulla County Commission and con- cerned citizens have worked to create a slow and idle speed or- dinance that addresses boating safety, protects land along the river's edge and makes boaters aware of the river manatee. On Monday, Oct. 16, the board decided to gather more input from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commis- sion (FWC). FWC officials have worked with county Grants and Special Projects Coordina- tor Pam Portwood to develop specific GPS locations for warn- ing signs. The state also has provided grant money to erect signs along county rivers, of particular inter- est to residents are the Wakulla and St. Marks rivers. After taking input from resi- dents at an Oct. 16 public hear- ing, the board decided to ask FWC officials if the state will allow the county to increase the number of feet that idle speed is required under the U.S. Highway .98 bridge on the Wakulla River from 500 feet on each side to 1,000 feet on each side. The board voted to continue the public hearing item until the Monday, Nov. 6, meeting to give staff an opportunity to present the request to FWC officials. Commissioner Ed Brimner said the Wakulla River is a high- use area for canoes and kayaks and they must be protected from power boats speeding to Apalachee Bay. Jackie Youngstrand of Hu- Manatee, Robert Baker of T- n-T Canoe Rental and Mickey Cantner of St. Marks asked board members to keep strin- gent boat operation regulations in place to protect all of the river interests. Undersheriff Donnie Crum said the county's and FWC's most recent ordinance is the best effort to have legally en- forceable speed zones. The county has never been able to agree on slow and idle speed zones, but finally have the signs and wording correct, he said. "This is a good start," said Commissioner Maxie Lawhon. "We can see how this works and play with it some more if we need to," Tax Bills May Be Late Wakulla County taxpayers may not get their 2006 tax bills on Wednesday, Nov. 1, as planned, according to Tax Col- lector Cheryll Olah. Olah said her office, as of Monday, Oct. 23, had not re- ceived the tax roll from Property Appraiser Anne Ahrendt. The tax collector is allowed 20 days prior to the Nov. 1 collection period to prepare the tax bills and get the bills in the mail. "The bills may not be on time," Olah said. However, the four percent discount period will be ob- served 30 days from the day the bills are mailed even if they are mailed late, she added. If the four percent discount period is extended into December, the rest of the month of December will provide a three percent discount. In January, payments are sub- ject to a two percent discount. In February, payments are subject to a one percent discount. Pay- ments received in March have no discounts, and payments received in April are subject to a three percent penalty.

Some of its members have made lasting contributions in literature and the arts, philosophy, science, politics, social reform and'to the spread of the Gospel: John Newton, who wrote "Amazing Grace"; William Wilberforce, who paved the way for an end to slavery; John Donne, one of the greatest poets; most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence; 11 (more than any other single denomination) U.S. Presidents, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Theodore Roosevelt, Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush; plus C. S. Lewis and John Stott and a host of other great Christian thinkers. Some of its buildings are known throughout the world, such as the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and St. Paul's in London. The "Anglican Communion" consists of 38 autonomous, Bible-believing churches with nearly 80 million members all over the world. The Episcopal Church in the United States has been one .of those 38 churches since its beginnings right after the Revolutionary War. Recently, however, its membership in the worldwide Anglican Communion has been threatened by its own tragic decisions and actions. Here at St. Teresa, along with Anglicans across the globe, we recognize the Lordship of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We embrace His plan of salvation, and the authority.and guidance of .Holy Scripture that is essential for living a truly Christian life. We hold fast to the faith delivered to the saints (Jude 1.3), and the rich traditions and disciplines of our Anglican/Episcopal heritage, the roots of which lie deep in the soil of earliest Christian churches.

Therefore, as a parish family, we must disassociate ourselves from the actions of the previous two General Conventions of the Episcopal Church. In the June 2006 Convention that body, during its deliberations: denied the Loid-.hip of lesiis Christ, the authority of Holy Scripture, the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman, and refused to abstain from the ordination of persons whose manner of life violates Christian tenets in practice for almost 2,000 years. The actions described violate the bedrock of our faith, and we will have no part in them. With God's help, and in the power of the Holy Spirit, we will remain vigorous in our efforts to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a hungry and hurting world, by faithfully teaching and preaching the Gospel while praying for the grace of God to live lives worthy of the high calling of Christ. And we look to and pray for guidance and direction from our sisters and brothers from the wider Church to assure the place of Bible-believing Episcopalians in the life of our world-wide Communion. We ask your prayers. If you are seeking a church home where the truth of the Gospel is faithfully proclaimed, you are welcome at St. Teresa. We invite you to visit us and become a part of a community seeking to follow and serve the One who is the "Way, the Truth, and the Life," who came "that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy may be full" (John 15.11).

Crawfordville, FL ww.wirancieiowe.com Disabled In For Rude Awakening In January Iam a citizen of Wakulla County and my family has lived and worked here for over five generations. Unfortunately due to a severe neck injury I am also a 100 percent disabled citizen. For the past five years I have had to live on perma- nent disability with social security benefits, after almost 25 years of employment. In 2001,I visited our elected Property Appraiser Ronnie Kilgore and received the exemption for disability. This year I moved into a new home ard went to change my ad- dress and apply for homestead and disability exemptions through the property appraiser's office. What an unbelievable experience! Our appointed Appraiser Anne Ahrendt denied my application for the dis- ability exemption, the reason given th.a I am not'in a wheelchair and not legally blind. I could provide all required medical documentation to qualify for the exemption, which I had received for the previous five years. There is an "exemption list" reflecting the citizens in Wakulla County that receive tax exemptions for disabilities, just for the asking, as it is public record. You can also go to the Internet and enter Wakulla County Property Appraiser and see the assessed values of all proper- ties belonging to other citizens and officials. I was told by Anne Ahrendt that she was going to clean up the exemp- tion list that Ronnie Kilgore created. She told me that Mr. Kilgore had left a "mess." I asked her if it had been her intention "to clean this list up," why hadn't she done it by now, why start with me, why has she waited almost two years to do this? She stated that she was starting with me and then after she won the election in January, she would start removing other citizens-from the list. I told her that it was pretty dirty to wait until after the election, that she was deceiving people with dis- abilities who are under the mistaken assumption that they will retain their disability exemptions. The com- ment was even made that it would be political suicide for'her to remove the exemptions prior to the election, and if I wanted to open that can of worms, then go ahead, people would be mad at me, not her. The actual day of my meeting with Anne Ahrendt, she violated my health information (HIPAA Law) privacy by going to a person very close to me and discussing my case while making a point to mention the type vehicle I drove and what kind of handbag I carried, as if that had any bearing on disability exemp- tions. I felt as though she had judged me from the moment I walked into her office. I actually confronted her about this and told her it didn't mat- ter if I drove a Mercedes and carried a Gucci handbag, I am still disabled. The sad thing is, I had family mem- bers and special friends who didn't even know that I was disabled, it is nobody's business, it is my private information. This is a violation of my personal life. Within that same week, one of the male employees in her office that sent the letter to everyone in the county in support of her also went to a prominent family who has a couple of family.members that are on the exemption list and again my private information was divulged. This same employee told a member of that family that I was working under the table, which would be illegal. This is an absolute lie! The family.was told that I was creating issues for other disabled citizens that currently have the exemption. Unbelievable!! It literally makes me sick that Anne Ahrendt and her employee shared my private infor- mation with others! While doing business in the property appraiser's office she made very nasty comments about our deceased property appraiser and his employees, which she named by name, and has taken action to fire since being appointed to the office. Shame on you Anne Ahrendt! So this is a warning! If you or a family member are disabled, but not confined to a wheelchair or le- gally blind, then according to Anne Ahrendt you will lose your disability exemption in January. *Give some serious thought about who you want to cast your vote for in November for Property Appraiser of Wakulla County.

JODY CAMPBELL The weekend started out really gorgeous, but that much- needed rain on Sunday kept a lot of people off the water and - those that were in it ran back in. Good tides made for some good fishing and the bait and tackle stores were kept busy despite *the early afternoon football game which we won't even talk about. Juanise at Circle J's said she :still hasn't heard any reports on freshwater fishing but did have a couple of saltwater re- ports. Eight-year-old Gary Jenks -fished with his parents off Bot- toms Road and caught reds and trout using live shrimp. David :-Fife fished around the Spring ;Creek area with top water baits and Gulp's and caught trout. :Michalela Vaillancourt and Carl :Ingram fished from shore at the ',Turkey Point Marine Lab and I:caught both flounder and reds I:using live shrimp. Mark Prance from Shell Point fished Friday and Saturday with 'friends from the Atlanta area .and found their fishing touch "on Friday. Saturday they found fish and came in with quite a few nice trout, several Spanish 'and some flounder They were ,using live shrimp under the :Cajun Thunder and were fishing ;around the grass on the high -tide in Oyster Bay. Andy Kimmey :,of Live Oak Island came in with ,his 'limit of grouper over the weekend fishing off St. Marks. He was trolling Stretch 30's in about 35 feet of water. This is the time of year they'll start moving into the shallower water around SSt. Marks and trolling is a good way to catch them. Mike Hopkins said fishing around Lanark was pretty good, over the weekend and he saw a lot more grouper brought in ,than he has been seeing. .Lots of snapper are being caught in 65 to 85 feet. Quite a few kings 'were caught over the weekend and Mike says they will typically stay around until the middle of December. Trout fishing slowed down somewhat though plenty of small ones are still being caught. Live bait, if you can find "it, and live shrimp and grubs, will both work. Reds are still plentiful and fishing around the 'docks on high water is a sure thing with a good spoon or live 'pilchard or shrimp. The barge off Lanark Reef and the old iron pier around the old Lorenzo's pro- 'duced quite a few sheepshead 'over the weekend. Flounder continue to be caught in the stump hole on the gulf side of Dog Island. Spanish are still plentiful and .the best spot is still Dog Island Reef. The crab made by Berke-. ley is working well as are mud minnows. One customer came in with a tripletail and several came in and reported catching pompano. Scott at Jerry's Bait and Tackle said Mike Griggs and Dale Weilacher caught 15 Spanish and three pompano fishing the West Flats with grubs under the Cajun Thunder. Ron and Donna Krell fished Stoney Bayou with 'live shrimp and caught about 30 reds. Eric Nicholson fished out of St. Marks and caught 20 trout and kept three of them.' He also landed a six-pound bluefish, which is a big blue for our area. Brian Espy and Scott Giering fished the Aucilla and caught six trout up to four pounds and lost some big reds which broke their line. Joe Thomas trolled a Stretch 25 over the St. Marks Reef and ,caught a nice grouper and a big :Spanish. Scott said he has seen ;a lot of Spanish and this was the Gulf Red Snapper Season Set To Close The Florida Fish and Wild- life Conservation Commission reminds anglers that the recre- ational red snapper fishing sea- son in all Gulf of Mexico waters will close on Nov. 1. This closure occurs each year to help rebuild overfished red snapper stocks in the Gulf. In Gulf state waters, the rec- reational harvest and possession of red snapper is prohibited Nov. 1 through April 14. biggest he'd ever seen. On Friday, I fished with Alan and Margaret Whitehead from Crawfordville and their son Craig, with his 5-year-old son Caelan, from Alpharetta, Ga. Typically a 5-year-old and an all day fishing trip don't go together real well, and I was somewhat worried when they told me that he wanted to come along. This little boy never complained the first time and was the first one to want his line in the water when we stopped. We fished an area in about 15 feet of water and he caught some small grouper, rock bass and grunts. The last spot we stopped on had quite a few trout on it and I threw out a pin fish and told Caelan to hold onto the rod and let me know if the cork went down. I heard a big fish hit and turned around as the Cajun Thunder went down. I held the rod at about the first eye so it wouldn't pull out of his hand, but Caelan reeled that fish in all by himself without anyone's help. He just kept say- ing, "Captain Jody, this fish sure is heavy." After a few minutes, I netted his fish, which was a 4 1/2- pound Spanish Mackerel that was the biggest fish of the day, and he sure let everyone know, especially his grandfather. Cool weather this week should push the fish in close to the creeks and should hope- fully bring the grouper in and get them turned on. We've got good tides this coming week- end and lots of fish should be caught. Remember to leave that float plan with someone and be careful out there.

Both Flo- tilla 12 at St Marks and Flotilla 13 at Shell Point will close their communication centers. Boat crew training for the members will continue during the winter months, but the only other on- the-water activities will be pa- trols aiding in the FSU research program on Red Tide. And, of course, we will still respond to any Coast Guard call-out mis- sion...mainly Search and Rescue (SAR) cases. Jim McGill filed the following report (and photos) of Flotilla 13 activities this week. "The Coast Guard Auxiliary is working with the Florida State University Marine Lab on one of their re- search project on water bacteria (red tide.)

That is the Coast Guard's Motto and that really exempli- fies one of our members this week, Dave Suban. During a fishing seminar at Jerry's Bait and Tackle Shop, Dave was invited to talk about boating safety and the role of the Auxiliary in promoting boat- ing safety through our public education classes. From basic boating safety to navigation and GPS (global positioning system), Dave was able to peek the curi- osity of several in attendance Hopefully, we will see some fa- miliar faces in our classes this upcoming year Thanks, Dave, for never letting an opportunity pass you by to represent one of the cornerstones of the Auxil- iary, public education Unfortunately, Mother Na- ture put a damper on our ef- forts to have a crew out on the water this weekend. Patrol was canceled Sunday due to the rain and rough sea conditions. Weather permitting, we hope to see many out on the water next weekend. Saturday will be our last patrol of the season, how- ever we plan to continue to be out on the water throughout the months of November and December, weather permitting of course Oh Yes, All MEMBERS: Don't forget our meeting will be on Thursday, Nov. 2. Just in case you hadn't heard, or forgot, our meeting day was changed due to football games andj'other commitments of our members. Our meetings are now at 6 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month at the B.L. Perry Library located at 2817 South Adams Street, across from Main Post Office. Mark your.calendar now: Meeting-Flotilla 12 Nov. 2, at 6 p.m. Occasionally, over the years, Jack Rosenau has sent me clip- pings he believes would be a worthwhile for this column. Jack was Flotilla 13's primary pi- lot for over 25 years, and before that he had been in the Marine Corps. So, understandably things he sends are often from a military publication. This time it was an article written by Ma- jor Patrick M. McGinn, USMC (Ret) in the September issue of the Marine Corps Gazette. With Veteran's Day coming up, I agree with Jack that it is in- deed appropriate. As it is rath- er lengthy, I have condensed Major McGinn's part. Basically, the Major was con- cerned, especially since his re- tirement and he has had time to notice how many people fail to render appropriate respect to our flag, especially at formal functions and at parades. He feels this lack of patriotic dis- play could be due to the lack of proper education. For the benefit of all, he had copied (and so did I) the Ex- cerpts from the Flag Code of the United States, Public Law 94344, 7 July 1976: "Section 5. During the cer- emony of hoisting or lowering the flag or when the flag is passing in a parade or in re- view.,all persons present except those- in uniform: should faee the flag and stand at attention with the right hand over the heart. Those present in uni- form should render the military salute. When not in uniform, men should remove their head- dress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Aliens should stand at atten- tion. The salute to the flag in a moving column should be ren- dered at the moment the flag passes. "Section 6. During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Met not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should render the mili- tary salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this po- sition until the last note. When the flag is not displayed, those present should face toward the music and act in the same man- ner they would if the flag were displayed there." Thanks, Jack, I think many will find this most educational.

Animals in the Adoption Cen- ter at the Wakulla Animal Shelter are hoping that somebody will come by and pay them a little bit of attention while they are waiting for somebody to adopt them. Real- T *F izing that Tail people are Wagters very busy, s tt / ' it still Lbl-j would be nice if more people would come and spend an hour or two with the animals. The dogs need to be walked and the cats would like some atten- tion too. The shelter staff is too busy with the daily chores and they do not have the time to play with the animals. So, if you could come to the shelter from time to time, it would be very much appreciated. With winter and cold weather approaching,-we are in need of blankets and old towels to make the animals more comfortable on those cold nights. You can drop them off at the shelter at any. time. When adopting a shelter animal or even purchasing a dog from a breeder, many people expect perfect unity between their new puppy and the ani- mals that are living in their household already. That is not going to happen. A new dog or cat needs to be introduced very slowly and carefully to the exist- ing animals in your household. it is really too much to expect that the newcomer will immediately be welcomed. A new animal means competi- tion for food and love, and only patience by the owners will solve that problem. It would be smart to create a new dog space for a while in an area where the other animals can see and smell it but will not be able to hurt it. After a while, most animals will come around and get used to the new dog or cat. Many people are thinking about a new cat or dog as a Christmas gift for a child or a friend. Sometimes it might be a good idea to give a gift certificate New Date For Impact Fee Meeting The workshop to discuss a new impact fee proposal has been rescheduled again. The county commission meet- ing scheduled with a consultant to discuss an impact fee study, to increase residential and com- mercial impact fees will be held on Monday, Nov. 6, at 5 p.m. in the commission chambers. The consultants requested a meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 24, but board members set it for Monday, Oct. 23. The consultants were unable to attend the Oct. 23 meeting and board members did not feel the Oct. 24 meeting was properly noticed. The first meeting with the consultant was scheduled on Wednesday, Oct. 11, but was postponed by the consultant due to needing additional time to prepare the documents. Government Services Group (GSG) was recently hired by the board to complete the study. Happenings- Family Raising Funds With Panacea Fish Fry A benefit fish fry to help pay funeral expenses 'for Wayne Sanders will be held Saturday, Oct. 28, at the Panacea Volunteer Fire Department beginning at 11 a.m. Donations will be accepted at the fish fry. Sanders, 40, of Eastpoint, died Oct. 18. He was a self-employed oysterman. The family is seeking dona- tions to pay for his funeral, conducted' by Harvey-Young Funeral Home. To make a dona- tion, contact Gloria Sanders at 528-4677. Monument Fund-Raiser The Wakulla County Christian Coalition is seeking donations for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., monument, which will be placed at the Wakulla Courthouse. Anyone who would like to contribute may do so by send- ing contributions to the Wakulla County Christian Coalition, P.O. Box 476, Crawfordville, FL 32326. The coalition is also hosting an event Friday, Oct. 27 at Hudson Park to raise funds. The event will feature free food and fellow- ship from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. so that the intended recipient of a pet can pick out the one that will appeal to him or her. The Wakulla Animal Shelter will is- sue gift certificates in December for just that purpose. Please, have your animals spayed/neutered.

(850) 697-5300 www.SandyBeachListings.com "Price Too High?" If you start out with too high a price on your home, you may have unnecessarily added to your stress level. Listing agents mar- ket and promote your home to all the other agents who work with homebuyers, dramatically increasing your personal sales force. During the first couple of weeks your home should be a flurry of activity with buyer's agents coming to preview your home so they can sell it to their clients, if the price is right. Susan Council If your home is overpriced, fewer agents will preview your home. If your house is well above market, why waste time? Their time is better spent previewing homes that are priced realisti- cally. If you start out with a high sales price, then drop it later -- your house is "old news." You will never be able to recapture that flurry of initial activity you would have had with a realistic price. Once your home sits on the market awhile, it is harder to get a good offer. Potential buyers will think you might be getting des- perate, so they will make lower offers. By overpricing your home in the beginning, you could ac- tually end up settling for a lower price.

For $500 a month, Stephens agreed to go to work for the city water system that "was barely making it" financially. The city was short a commis- sioner when the Stephens family arrived, but Robert Roddenberry, Raymond Revell, Myron Hodge and L.L. Roberts hired him to handle concerns with the water system. "Only Robert Roddenberry is still alive from the group that hired me," said Stephens. The community would eventually open its city park and name it after Hodge. Stephens will celebrate his 67th birthday on Nov. 1, the same day the couple will cel- ebrate their 48th wedding an- niversary. "It's changed very little over the years," Stephens said of Sopchoppy. "The old commercial buildings have opened up with businesses, and the city park opened. The water system has expanded tremendously, from 118 customers in 1973 to more than 4.000 now." "We supply the water to more than 10,000 people and most of the schools," he said. "I advocat- ed growth,of the water system with the city commission, and everybody has been proud of our growth." Sopchoppy took over the water operations within Craw-, fordville shortly after Stephens arrived on the scene. Bobbie joined the Wakulla County Public Library with Direc- tor Sue Crum on Oct. 1, 1975. She has also worked for the county road and bridge department under Cal Jacobs and John Hen- derson and PSG/US Filter/Veolia under Project Managers Cleve Fleming, Don Patterson and Randy Merritt. PSG took over the operation of the Wakulla public works departments on Oct. 1, 1993. The Stephens family tree reaches out to Missouri with daughter Pam Smith in Joplin; son Mike Stephens is in Jack- sonville; and two children are local, Brenda Villiard of Sop- choppy, and Bill Stephens Jr. of Crawfordville. The couple also has 12 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Stephens spent 31 years as chief of Station 1, the Sopchoppy Volunteer Fire Department; He was replaced recently by Bobby Roddenberry. "I'm old enough and done my time," Stephens said of his fire duties. "It was time to turn it over to the younger guys." "I have no regrets," he said. "The first 10 years on the job I wondered how could a guy have a better job: I loved it so much. It's still a good job, but it became more political" Joining Stephens as city em- ployees was part-time clerk Mildred Willis. The city now has ;eight full-time employees, The U.S Census reported that Sopchoppy's population has shrunk over the years. Stephens rejects that notion. "We picked a population of 500 continuously," he joked. Sopchoppy was incorporated in 1912 and re-incorporated in 1952 following the tumult of the 1920s. Southern Water Services will operate the water system on a temporary basis until Stephens' replacement, Leonard Tartt, is licensed and certified to do so. The water system has grown with the county seat of Craw- fordville, and Stephens said Sop- choppy will soon have 1,175,000 gallons of elevated water storage in the Crawfordville area. A new water tower is under construction in the Harvey-Pit- man.'Minmosa area of Crawford- ville. While the impact of Bill and Bobbie Stephens has been felt around:the county, Sopchoppy will miss them the most. The couple has supported the reno- vation of the old Sopchoppy Gym and the former Sopchoppy High School. "Those buildings would have been lost," said Stephens. In the 1970s, Bill led the first of what will be the 34th Sop- choppy Fourth of July Celebra- tion next year. "We took our kids to the ball field in Lakeland and watched the fireworks," said Bobbie. "We knew we needed something here." The first Sopchoppy celebra- tion was a fish fry and gos- pel sing. The following years,. Nashville entertainers were added along with the popular fireworks. "Billy was the major instigator of the Fourth of July," said his wife. "People were crying after watching that first year. They were amazed at how beautiful the fireworks were. They had never seen fireworks." The festival was held at the old school until the city opened the new park in 1976. "We had a lot of good times," said Stephens. The late, "Oscar Crays was our spokesman for the Fourth of July. He loved that." Sopchoppy resident and for- mer Crawfordville Postmaster Warren Harden helped put on the first celebration by assisting the city with the costs. "Warren paid out his own pocket until we could have a fund-raiser to pay him back," said Bill. "You gotta quit sometime," Stephens concluded. "I've never taken more than two weeks off in one year. It's really time to quit that: I may be retiring, but Photo By Lynda Kinsey Bobbie And Bill Stephens ' I'm not going away." Stephens hopes to share with Bobbie parts of the coun- try she has not seen, including the Pacific Northwest and New England, "He just loves history," Bob- bie said of Billy. "He just keeps reading everyone along the way." I Wr yOUR NEWSPAPER // ~PEOPLE SERVING 8 PEOPLE )e af(hulLa 96 et7s1 (850) 926-7102 Smile - You Can Afford Beautiful Teeth Too!

While it would be wonderful to continue to reside in the small, comfortable setting we have always known Wakulla County to be, that is not the most realistic thought. Change and growth are inevitable. With strong leadership, however, we can ensure that we balance the social and economic changes while safeguarding the community and resources that we love. We would like to continue to reside in a wonderful place. I believe we will be able to do this with some peace and consistency on our board of county commissioners. I believe that a piece of this consistency should be an intelligent woman with the sense to look after ourcounty and our future here. We are not going to stop growth, and we cannot resist this fact. As we did before them, our children are starting families and building new lives. People want a piece of the life that we worked hard to have here-and what is wrong with that? Many of us are transplants into Wakulla County. Many of our family members are transplants. What if the growth were, to have changed just before you or your loved ones moved into our community? We do need some control, we do need to monitor our resources, and we need a change in our County Commission. We need someone that welcomes growth, while respecting the unique place that we call home. Please join me in the walk for peace and consistency within our commission and cast your vote for someone that is a resident of our county, loves and enjoys the community, believes in God and is humble enough to admit this in public. She will be a voice for the life we all would like to see continue. VOTE SALLY GANDY! Thank you for helping us elect someone with a sense for the future of our county.

"I don't either," added Com- missioner Brian Langston. Lawhon stated that the fire fee is one of the most fair fees. Residents with property val- ues of less than $25,000 who have Homestead Exemption are not paying county taxes, but are paying the MSBU, he said. "This is probably the only time they have been fairly taxed," said Lawhon. Wakulla County Tax Collector Cheryll Olah said the new $65 fee will appear on the 2006 tax bills when they are mailed in November. The MSBU budget for fire- fighters increased from $509,736 for fiscal year 2006-2007 to $852,593. The budget includes $109,736 worth of funding that was money forward from the 2005-2006 budget year.

Wakulla County Sheriff's Of- fice officials move the event to another night if Halloween falls on a Sunday. Sheriff's office officials ask residents to "play it safe on Halloween." Parents and hom- eowners are reminded, to be careful on Halloween night. Ho- meowners are asked to turn on outside lights and keep animals inside or penned up. As has been the case in previ- ous years, many Wakulla County businesses are offering candy to children during the day and night. Activities are also planned at area churches to give children a trick-or-treat alternative. Captain Jim Griner of the sheriff's office reminds parents to be careful with their children on Halloween. "Throw away un- wrapped candy before allowing your child to eat it," said Griner. "Children should tell a parent SDon't Wait Till i'm Sick As A Dog!

Trick-or-treating should be done with parents or an adult and the best place to trick-or-treat is in your own neighborhood where you know the people." Griner also recommends that children wear reflective clothing. Some other recom- mendations include carrying a flashlight, making sure cos- tumes don't drag on the ground, avoid wearing masks and only approach houses that have lights on. "The most common injuries on Halloween are eye injuries from sharp objects, burns from flammable costumes and inju- ries from collisions with motor vehicles," said Dr. Rick Blum, president of the American Col- lege of Emergency Physicians. Those who plan on offering treats to children are encour- aged to offer healthy food al- ternatives as well as non-food items such as plastic rings, pencils, stickers and coins.

Slowly, the landscape changed. When I moved to Orange County in 1982, over the fourteen year period I was in Orlando, I saw shopping centers, condos, strip malls, neighbor- hoods, skyscrapers, apartments, and street-lined tourist attractions. Quickly, the landscape changed. When I moved back to Wakulla County in 1996, there was one traffic light, another soon followed, cable television was here, fast food restaurants and chain stores began to move in, and unfortunately, nitrates were found in Wakulla Springs. But Wakulla County is NOT Orange County, and it's not too late to properly plan our growth, save Wakulla Springs, protect the integrity and charm of our county, and improve the Wakulla County we all love today.

"We're very interested in the water and understanding where the water is coming from and going," Johnson said. The project is "data driven," he said. Johnson deferred questions about what effect the diminish- Springs- Continued from Page 1 Chelette said, referring to the aquifer. Discussing the matter with a reporter after his seminar, Davis speculated there could be some blockage in the tun- nels that feed the Spring Creek series of springs. He presented a computer model in his seminar showing the tidal influence on Spring Creek, and he suggested that perhaps sand had filled a tunnel and was forcing water. north to Wakulla Springs. If it is sand, Davis said, water pressure could eventually clear the blockage and Spring Creek. could flow again. Speculation aside, Davis not-, ed that the USGS is in negotia- tions with the Florida Geological Survey to help fund the placing of equipment at Spring Creek to study the flow; Additionally, a dye trace study is in the works with the geological firm of Ha- zlitt-Kincaid to establish whether there is an underground connec- tion between Lost Creek and Spring Creek. Davis noted that the dye trace would have to wait if Lost Creek is not flowing. It is known that the flow at Spring Creek has been highly variable. Chelette, of the water management district, said the 14 widely dispersed springs that make up Spring Creek are known to have little or no flow during a very high tide. Davis said he had done some water testing at Spring Creek as far back as 1991 and that his samples indicated that the water from the vents was about 50 percent freshwater. A resident who lives just north of Spring Creek and has a sinkhole on, his property, said the water level in the sink used to fluctuate with the'tides, ris- ing and falling. No more, the resident said. The water level has remained constant for the past several weeks. Told of that, Davis said that could be evidence of a block- age in the Spring Creek tunnel. Davis said he hoped that the agency could get measuring gear out that would measure the actual rise and fall of sinkholes. But he said such equipment is expensive. Some Spring Creek residents have pointed to increased sa- linity in the estuary since the springs reportedly stopped flow- ing, pointing to the brown marsh grass that is dying due to the lack of freshwater. Some area residents expressed concern about saltwater intrusion into freshwater sources and wells - although.there have been no reports of that, and Spring Creek residents receive water service through Talquin Cooperative. One effect of the increased water flow at Wakulla Springs has been a dilution of the ni- trates from Tallahassee, which have been blamed for the in- creased algae and' other prob- lems, Davis said. The USGS is working with the City of Tallahassee study- ing the effect of the Tram Road sprayfield on Wakulla Springs. That three year study, which is still ongoing; confirmed an un- derground connection between the sprayfield and the spring.

Angela Chelette of NWF- WMD said that the agency had only recently become aware of reports about Spring Creek and would be sending staff down 85 to study the matter. Hydroge- ologist Todd Kincaid, an advi- sor on the project, presented information at a recent forum that the wells already in place are adjacent to a huge cavern, a tunnel that connects Wakulla Springs and Spring Creek. During high flow periods, such as heavy rains, the water in the tunnel would be flowing to Wakulla Springs, Kincaid said at the forum. At low flow periods such as a drought, the water would go to Spring Creek. The company has proposed withdrawing up to 70,000 gal- lons of water a day from its wells, located just south of' Wakulla Springs in Shadeville. In granting the permit, the NW- FWMD found that the amount of the withdrawal would be "indiscernable." IIRfITL'ffirOMO 9 A.* l P.M.. xcept S10 da ober 25 ,:,gTent Cr -ii lHwBy.
