At a workshop meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 31, members of the school board heard from a consultant whose firm had determined that the cost of growth in the district could be as much as $6,362 per single- family home. The school board, which can take no official action at a workshop, directed staff to go forward with an ordinance and resolution on impact fees, and suggested the members favored some type of graduated scale for the fees such as 60 percent for the first year, increasing 20 percent every two years until reaching the maximum. The county commission is scheduled to hear a report from its consultant at a workshop on Monday, Nov. 6. It is expected an impact fee of some $4,200 will be discussed. After listening to a presenta- tion justifying the use of impact fees to pay for costs associated with growth, schoolboard mem- ber Mike Scott, who is a builder, said that the combined impact Photos By Lynda Kinsey Organic Farmers. Carmen Sturchio And Jack Simmons Transplant Planters By KEITH BLACKMAR Of The Wakulla News Tucked in a quiet, rural and private backwoods area of west- ern Wakulla County, two Sop- choppy residents have joined forces to produce organic fruits, herbs and vegetables at Crescent Moon Farm. Visitors to Jack Simmons' and Carmen Sturchio's farm are greeted by playful dogs and so- cial cats who are all part of the 40-acre landscape. It's a good thing that Jack arid Carmen are able to deliver their produce to Tallahassee and Apalachicola each week, because they are tucked back off High- way 375 far from the hustle and bustle of Tallahassee and even Crawfordville. "We've been selling com- mercially for about a year," said Simmons. The couple has blue- berries, blackberries, figs, poma- grantes, pears, plums, lemons, limes, persimmons and more on one side of their property. Despite the colder fall weath- er, the farm is full of lettuce, gourds, peppers, onions, kale, okra, broccoli, cucumbers, egg- plants, greens, rosemary, chives, mints, basil and much mote. On Friday, Simmons sells to chefs and private customers in Apala- chicola and on Wednesdays he travels to sell to visitors at the Lake Ella Growers Market in Tallahassee. "We start our plants from seed," said Sturchio. "We're on a shoestring (financially), but we have a modern watering system." Water lines shoot water all over the property delivering nourish- ment whenever needed. fees of nearly $10,000 on top of a $3,000 building permit and $7,000 in sewer and water tap- on fees means a homebuilder has to, spend "20 grand to stick a shovel in the ground." Scott suggested the number of build- ing permits will drop because of -impact fees. "I don't want to pass an impact fee," said school board Chairman Greg Thomas. "I don't like impact fees. But if we don't, then we put the burden on existing residents to cover the costs." Those costs, according to the presentation made by Kenneth Creveling, president of Urba- nomics consulting firm, project a need for more than $91 million in facilities, land and transporta- tion costs over the next 25 years for Wakulla County schools. Creveling said the school population is projected to al- most double during that time span, from 4,844 students last year up to 8,996 in 2030 an addition of 4,152 students. Five new schools will need to be online for that growth: 2.8 new elementary schools, 1.3 new middle schools, and a new high school.

Considering the fact that this is election season, we asked Wakulla County Supervisor of Elections Sherida Crum to draw the names of three lucky win- ners on Tuesday, Oct. 31. Each winner will receive two free tickets to the concert. The names she pulled out of the box were Ray Williams, Faye Newby and Sandra Gentry. The winners will be contacted by The Wakulla News and told how to pick up their tickets. Keith Blackmar And Sherida Crum The newspaper received :nearly 200 entries in the contest, which was announced in last week's edition. "We originally planned to give away just .two tickets to one winner," said Ira Schoffel, general manager of The News. "But the readers' response was so impressive that we contacted the concert's sponsor, Seminole Boosters Inc., and arranged to get the extra seats. "We appreciate everyone who participated in the contest and hope to introduce additional promotional contests in the near future." By KEITH BLACKMAR Of The Wakulla News More than 150 Wakulla Coun- ty voters have been casting their ballots per day during the early voting period at Supervisor of Elections Sherida Crum's office in Crawfordville. The early voting period be- gan Oct. 23 and continues until Saturday, Nov. 4. Crum said her office has mailed out 1,204 absentee bal- lots for the Tuesday, Nov. 7, elec- tion, nearly double the number mailed by her staff for the Sep- tember primary election. Although the General Elec- tion ballot has three local races on it. two county commission races, and the run for property appraiser, Crum said the federal Senate race and the battle to become Florida's newest gover- nor seem to have captured the imagination of the public. Crum predicted a voter turn- out of 65 percent following the 36.9 percent turnout in September. The District 2 county com- mission race is being contested by Democrat George Green and Republican Larry Taylor, The District 4 county com- mission race is being contested by Democrat Sally Gandy and Republican Howard Kessler, who is seeking re-election with no party affiliation in 2006.

The event has grown into one of the most popular events offered by the refuge and out- standing weather drew an enor- mous crowd of more than 3,000 visitors, according to Refuge Ranger Robin Will, Will said refuge officials have seen one of the largest groups of monarch butterflies to migrate through the region in a decade. Ranger David Moody said tag- ging efforts began several days before the festival was held. More than 800 butterflies were tagged and more than 2,000 counted on a refuge trail in the days leading up to the festival. Will said windy conditions may have pushed the butter- flies farther south quicker than expected during the end of Oc- tober, but she added that refuge visitors still have about a week to view the colorful butterflies before they disappear until the next migration. The butterfly festival was part of the beginning of the refuge's 75th anniversary celebration. The actual birthday was Oct. 31. A dinner was held for volun- teers and staff members in the rain on Friday, Oct. 27. But the conditions improved for the festival on Saturday morning.

For that reason, we had to decline several of each that were brought to our office early this week. However, we did decide after much deliberation that it wasn't entirely fair to omit all discussion about a controversial political message that was mailed to homes in the county late last week. On Monday, we were flooded with letters and phone calls from citizens who took exception to the piece and felt that The Wakulla News was the only place for their side to be heard. Because we were able to interview the candidate who sent the material and let her respond to the complaints, we decided a fair compromisewould be to publish the concerns from those citizens in a news article, along with comments from both candidates in the race., SAs is the case with any ethical decision, there some- times is no right choice. We can only hope that we treated all parties as fairly as possible. 1:d : " TO Vakufla Petosi The Wakulla News (USPS 644-640) is published weekly at 3119 Crawfordville Hwy., Crawfordville, FL 32327.

Darlene Mills Crawfordville PCC Endorses Kessler For BOCC Editor, The News: The Panhandle Citizens Co- alition (PCC) is pleased to rec- ommend and endorse Commis- sioner Howard Kessler for re- election to the Wakulla County Commission, District Four. Commissioner Kessler has earned the trust of the citizens of Wakulla County. On issue after issue, he has voted to pursue thoughtful, reason- able, controlled growth while accomplishing environmental protection and conservation of Wakulla's resources. This has ranged from big issues such as Wakulla Springs, the proposed bottling plant and the N.G. Wade development, to smaller matters such as small-scale com- prehensive plan changes. He has not gone along with the rapid-growth crowd, and this has made him admired and respected by citizens who don't want to be overrun by rampant, uncontrolled growth. Howard has always been there for the citizens. He listens Your Views should be getting a tax break, The decisions that county commissioners make are be- coming more complex as the county grows, and we believe Howard's experience, values and strong work ethic will be to what the average person says, not just those who have vested monied interests. With Wakulla being one of the fastest growing counties in the state, we need Howard's vision of a community where all of its parts can work -together in harmony toward a common vision of sustainable growth. Howard Kessler is going to be the anchor on what we believe is going to be an increasingly responsive and responsible board of county commissioners when it comes to the issues of sprawl, growth management and environmen- tal protection, and we need to have him return there. John Hedrick, Panhandle Citizens Coalition Chair Chad Hanson, PCC Wakulla steering committee Victor Lambou, PCC Wakulla steering committee Candidate Definitely Took State Courses Editor, The News: There have been several political articles stating Donnie Sparkman has not taken courses for certification as a Florida Property Appraiser. I worked in the Wakulla County Property Appraiser's office for 11 years, and Donnie Sparkman was a co-worker of mine during that time, While working in the Property Ap- praiser's office, Donnie and I both completed courses re- quired for certification with the Department of Revenue as a Certified Florida Evaluator, We still have our documents. The Department of Revenue may not have retained records that indicate Donnie Sparkman attended courses for certifica- tion: however, I assure you he did'take arid pass 'those courses during the rime of his employment in the Wakulla County Property Appraiser's of- fice. We both attended courses consisting of 160 hours, passed the course test and received certification. -Someone may have received degrees, certifications, educa-, tion and various other knowl- edge decades ago, but this knowledge is something no one can take away from you. Susie Tooke Crawfordville Candidate Wants Responsible Growth Editor, The News: We would like to share our observations and opinion with voters in. Wakulla County. For four years now, Commissioner Howard Kessler has consistently voted for the best interest of the majority of the citizens of this county. He has been a champion in protecting Wakulla Springs, our sensitive coastline, and all our county's natural resources from misguided devel6pm'ental degradation. He has consistently fought hard for responsible growth and open efficient government - sometimes being the lone voice raising legitimate con- cerns. Maybe once in a while, he gets a little carried away, but our government desperately needs this person with the courage, knowledge and independence to stand up to those special interests who seek short-term personal profit at long-term public expense. We can trust Howard to struggle daily for expanded citizen involvement in mak- ing decisions, promote more government in the sunshine, including a public audit of ques- tionable past practices. Howard has consistently sup- ported lower property tax rates than any other commissioner, recognizing that with Wakulla's growth the county is bringing in a lot more money, and citizens we can start working to improve the process.

Voting 'Yes" will restore funding for effective smoking prevention programs for youth. Let's use just 15 percent 'of the money Florida receives from its settlement with tobacco companies to improve the fu- ture health of our youngsters. What parent wants their child to become addicted to tobacco products in their teen years, suffer from poor health. and die young? There are effec- tive ways to keep children from starting to.smoke cigarettes or use other tobacco products. These programs were work- ing well until funding was un- expectedly cut off. Please vote "Yes" to Amendment No. 4 to restore funding for these impor- tant prevention programs. No children or grandchildren to worry about?

I know all citizens of Wakulla County will be very glad when this election season is over. I have lived in many different parts of the United States, and I must say I have never seen a nastier political campaign as the one we are currently going through. I wish all candidates would only talk about their own personal attributes and what positive things they will do for Wakulla County. Show us specific steps they would take to improve the coun- ty infrastructure, which includes roads, sewer systems and storm water runoff. In addition, what Positive changes will they take to improve the management of county government? How will they improve the productivity of county offices? And best of all, what specific steps will they take to better manage the growth the county is going through? These are the things that are really important. Much more important than how many classes candidates have taken, and getting into personal at- tacks on each other. Supporters of some of the candidates are even worse, for we see distorted letters and ads in The Wakulla News, and even mailings to individual homes. All of this makes one very sick of the whole process. For me personally, starting early next year, I will begin working with groups within Wakulla County that want to have a clean, honest political process for the next election in 2008, where we will be electing three county commissioners and six constitutional officers. Until then, I would hope that for the remaining few days left in this election cycle that the candidates and their supporters would try to keep the process honest and dean. See you all next year, when tax burden onto the rest of the taxpaying citizens of Wakulla County. Anne W. Ahrendt Wakulla County Property Appraiser PCC Endorses Green For Seat Two Editor, The News: The Panhandle Citizens Co- alition (PCC), with support from our Wakulla members, are endorsing George Green for the Wakulla County Commission, District Two seat. George Green will consis- tently implement rules and regulations that, when adopted, will serve to protect the envi- ronment. He will be proactive on potential environmental problems. He will promote and work for openness in all phases of government. He will encourage and work for an atmosphere that pro- motes education, information and involvement for all Wakulla County citizens, something which has not been accom- plished. As a native son of Wakulla County, George Green :will serve you citizens well. George Green offers not only a much-needed breath of fresh air to the commission, but brings a congenial and intellectual component as well. Though he has not had much experience in local politics, he is very much in favor of working for the citizens to make Wakulla County a better place. There will be much more thoughtfulness in how Wakul- la grows with Mr. Green on the board. He wants to help Wakulla manage its growth for the future. Mr. Green's promotion and sponsorship of openness and involvement of all Wakulla citi- zens in all phases of county gov- ernment will make him the type of county commissioner that this county desperately needs. His goal to develop policies and ordinances'protecting WakuUa's environment will make him an 'idel criimissioner. Mr. Green has the back- ground and administrative experiences that will assist Wakulla County meet the many challenges imposed by acceler- ated growth. John Hedrick, Panhandle Citizens Coalition Chair Resident Was Not Entitled To Exemption Editor, The News: Last week, The Wakulla News printed a political adver- tisement against me paid for by Mrs. Rene Root. In this ad- vertisement, Mrs: Root claimed that I denied her an exemption for which she felt she qualified. The fact is Mrs. Root absolutely does not qualify for this total ex- emption from property taxes. The following is the statute dealing with exemptions for totally and permanently dis- abled persons in Florida: Sec- tion 196.101(2) Florida Statutes provides for exemption for to- tally and permanently disabled persons. "Any real estate used and owned, as a homestead by a paraplegic, hemiplegic or other totally 'and permanently disabled person, as defined in s. 196.112(11), who must use a wheelchair for mobility or who is legally blind is exempt from taxation." Mrs. Root does not use a wheelchair for mobility. Additionally, there are fur- ther restrictions that deal with household income. Section 196.101(4)(a)(2) states in perti- nent part, "However, the gross income of all residents residing in or upon the homestead for the prior year shall not exceed $14,500." For tax year 2006 that threshold was $22,872. Mrs. Root's household income ex- ceeded this threshold. While I sympathize with Mrs. Root's circumstances, she does not meet the statutory requirements for Exemption for Totally and Permanently Disabled Persons. To grant Mrs. Root an exemption to which she is not entitled would be wrong and would shift her Tax Bills Sent Nex Wakulla County Property Ap- praiser Anne Ahrendt said she is finalizing work to turn the 2006 tax roll over the Tax Collector Cheryll Olah as certified. Ahrendt said she expects to get the tax roll to Olah on Friday, Nov. 3, or Monday, Nov. 6. She added that the delay has been the result of checking all of her information and waiting for the final results of the Value Adjustment Board hearings in October. Olah said the turn-around time to get the tax bills printed and mailed will be two to three days. She added that taxpayers can expect to see their tax bills sometime around Wednesday, Nov. 8 to Friday, Nov. 10.

Excellence in faith, knowl- edge, endurance, patience, or endless love require the habit of discipline. Habit means exer- cise, a maturing process. Just as a beginning apple is perfect, you can be perfect for your plans for the people. Think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, speak- ing the truth to every person. Have a good'rapport within and without. If you have something to celebrate, think on these things. We have a new location and a new name for our church which is located on Surf Road in Sop- choppy.

They are tearing up garbage cans and throwing them all over the place in Hyde Park, up at Shane and Mary Stricklaid's place, as well as up and down Highway 98.

Neighbors, last week I put in our column about the cookout and poker run for Latrelle Ses- sions to help with treatments. We lost Latrelle this past Fri- day evening. I was blessed to be holding her hand when passed away. We don't always getto tell friends and loved ones goodbye when it is their time to move on, so I felt priviledged: I was also blessed to be hold- ing my mother's hand when she passed on and it was hard for me to understand why we don't getto keep those we love forever. . But they. dq ri' relyb' g they are needed someplace else. This is just my belief. It gives me peace knowing this. :Our thoughts and prayers are with Barnard, Ms, Alice and her children, Donna and Chris.

Long an activist in educating youth about the dangers of to- bacco use, Brock jumped at the chance to further the cause. He is coordinating volunteer efforts in more than 30 counties; and the, campaign is the only citizen-sponsored initiative to qualify for the ballot this No- vember. Brock said the petition drive was extremely successful, with participants gathering far more signatures, and in a shorter time frame, than any other previous effort; "This campaign has been hugely popular," Brock ex- plained, "and we are optimistic the amendment will pass with a large majority. I've long believed the state legislature must make a firm commitment to prevent- ing kids from ever taking up the use of tobacco. "Florida was the first state to win damages against Big To- bacco, and its Truth campaign was not only innovative, but hugely successful. The passage of this amendment is a step in the right direction." The amendment is sponsored by a coalition of the American Cancer Society, the American Lung Association, the American Heart Association and the Cam- paign for Tobacco Free Kids. As a spokesperson for the coalition, Brock recounted the impressive statistics achieved when the program was fully funded: "Tobacco use by youth decreased by over 50 percent in middle schools, and over 30 percent in high schools. Teen participation in prevention ac- tivities and leadership develop- ment increased dramatically." SBrock pointed out that Flor- ida generates more sales of tobacco products than any other state in the union. This is not surprising, considering tobacco companies target Florida with $1.2 billion worth of product advertisements each year. If Amendment 4 is approved, the legislature would allocate 15 percent of the annual tobacco funds toward youth programs for the prevention of tobacco use. That would mean an in- crease from under $1 million spent statewide to over $50 million.

The family was extremely grateful that they had those last hours alone with their loved one. Seeing how important this had been to this family, McMahan went back to Weappa to ask if a room could be set aside for any patient in their final days or hours so that they, too, could have a special place to gather with family. Eden Springs agreed and offered a room that could be decorated especially to bring peace and comfort to families and patients. McMahan took the idea to the Big Bend Hos- pice Wakulla County Advisory Council in May, and they agreed to adopt the room as a project.

Wakulla improved to 8-1 overall and finished 4-1 in district contests. The Bay High Tornados finished the 2006 campaign at 7-3 overall and 3-2 in district play. Coach Scott Klees said the War Eagles had a gameplan designed to'plow the football right at Bay. Wakulla rushed for 346 yards and took advantage of four Bay turnovers to win the showdown easily. 'It was like the Godby game for us," said Klees. "They turned the ball over four times and we capitalized on them. We played a good game on Thursday." Bay received heavy doses of quarterback Troy Walker and running backs Xavier Blocker and Kendell Gavin. Walker rushed eight times and scored four touchdowns to pace the War Eagles. He was named the offensive player of the game. He rushed for: 38 yards for the first Wakulla touchdown and added three short runs for scores as Wakulla built a 28-0 lead at halftime. Florida Gator recruit and Bay quarterback Bert Reed struggled in the game as he was intercept- ed twice and fumbled once. Wakulla quarterback Cory Eddinger threw just three pass- es and completed only one, but the one completion was a 38- yard touchdown to Dion Bryant after Bay closed the gap to 28-7. Reed added another touchdown late in the contest to account for the final score. Bay missed a 40-yard field goal and interceptions by Tyrell Gavin and C.J. Holton killed other scoring chances. Nigel Bsadham killed another Bay offensive drive by recovering a fumble. Defensive lineman John Marks recovered a fumble and was named co-defensive player of the game. He graded out at 82 percent. Tyrell Gavin was also recognized as the defensive player of the game. He had six tackles and an interception from his defensive back position. Xavier Blocker rushed, 26 times for 137 yards, while Ken- dell Gavin rushed 14 times for 96 yards. "We really dominated the ,T Troy Walker game," said Klees. "We were n e physical than them. The offensive line also played WelLy linebackere r Darrion Wilson hadud4 tackles to lead the de- fense. "He's really turned it up the last few games," Klees said of Wilson's effort. The offensive knock-'em back award winner was Joe Trimboli. Tim Dawson was the defensive knock-'em back award winner. Wakulla will host Tallahas- see Chiles on Friday, Nov. 3, at 7:30 p.m. at Reynolds Stadium in the regular-season finale. John Marks Chiles is 6-3, but did not make the playoffs, Wakulla will recognize its senior players at the Chiles contest. Klees noted that Chiles only lost 17-14 to Tallahassee Godby and has two Division-I college wide receiver prospects. "They like to throw," Klees said. "We will have to stop their passing game." Weather postponed the Chiles-Leon game at Gene Cox Stadium on Oct. 27. The game was played on Monday, Oct. 30, with Chiles pulling out a late victory. But the scheduling change Tyrell Gavin created a short week of prepara- tion for the Timberwolves. "They (Chiles) could-have an 'us against the' world' attitude, having to play two games in one week," said Klees. "We can't overlook Chiles, but we're going to try and get ready for the play- offs. I'll play a lot of kids." Wakulla has never lost to the Timberwolves. The first round of the play- offs will find Wakulla in Pen-, sacola playing Pine Forest on Friday, Nov. 10, Pine Forest is 9-0 and ranked in Class 3A. Pensacola Washington is the district runner-up from Pine Forest's district.

The Wakulla Lady War Eagle volleyball team completed its, 2006 season last week, but not before splitting two games in the Class 4A state tournament. Coach Erica Bunch's squad defeated Gulf Breeze 25-8, 25-22 and 25-17 in the regional quar- terfinals in Medart on Tuesday, Oct. 24. The victory sent Wakulla to JacTks'ville: to play highly ranked Bishop Kenny on Sat- urday, Oct: 28. The Crusaders topped the Lady War Eagles, 25-20, 25-20 and 25-17 in the regional semifinals. Coach Shelly Moore said Wakulla played well against a strong Bishop Kenny team but could riot make enough plays to win. Wakulla dominated a weaker Gulf Breeze team to ad- vance to the second round. "We didn't bring our A-plus game to Jacksonville," said Moore. "We didn't run our of- fense the way we can. I would say. we had a B-minus game. They were definitely beatable." In the Gulf Breeze game, Wakulla took advantage of mis- takes by the visitors. "Their offense wasn't that strong," the coach said about Gulf Breeze. Wakulla was led by seniors Amber Annand and Amber Perkins, who both celebrated their final year in the volleyball program by having solid senior seasons. Both players are play- ing club ball and have a chance to get noticed and secure college scholarships. The junior class made out- standing contributions through- out the season as Kiara Gay, Jamieah Maxwell, Megan McCal- lister, Effie Minesterio and Katie Smith formed a strong base for next year. Hannah Lovestrand and Kris- ten Mathers also return next fall. The junior varsity had a winning season and should produce at least three players who can help the varsity. Wakulla finished the year at 17-9.

Leadership Needed For WHS Soccer Team By JOHN REICH SSpecisiToTheWakulla News ring a recent parent meet- ing- varsity men's head coach Bob Wallace spoke briefly about the upcoming winter season, ". very excited about our retu~ ing players and the young talef we have coming from both middle schools," he said. The War Eagles soccer team enters the 2006-07 campaign seeking to better their previous 'record of 13-6-2 and advancing further into postseason play. Eleven varsity players return Mason Alford, Nick Baxter, Keith Chew, Raleigh Clarke, Stuart Gilley, Kyle Marks, Trevor Nason, Matt Reich, Ryan Smith, Patrick Stewart and Pat Talbott accounted for 47 (73.4%) of the young team's 64 goals dur- ing last season's 21 matches. Within this returning group of student-athletes, a leader must emerge in order for the team to succeed, said the coach. Eager to accept the chal- lenge and expectations this season, additional varsity play- ers include Reggie Coles, Shane Davis, David Evans, Woody Har- vey, Marcus Posey, David Rager, Elliot Siedler, Zach Swain and Brett Wilson. The Wakulla team's lone weakness this season may be in the overall quality of play outside the starting 11. Non-district regular-season matches last season (7-3 record) against Marianna (2-0) and John Paul II (2-0) were replaced this season with non-district matches against Tallahassee opponents Lincoln (Wednesday, Nov. 22) and a pair of matches against Florida High (0-1). Suwannee (0-2), Taylor Bull- dogs (1-0) and Port St. Joe (2-0) round out the current non-dis- trict, nine-game schedule with an open date remaining. Last year, the youthful War Eagles finished the varsity regular season schedule with a 6-2-2 mark before inexperi- ence created a premature exit during the district semifinals last season against Bay. The War Eagles will play a varsity preseason classic on Saturday, Nov. 4, at Port St. Joe. Wakulla will play Port St. Joe in the opening match while Marianna and John Paul II also kic off at 10 a.m. The win- ners of both single-elimination matches will advance to the championship match to be played at 2:30 p.m. The War Eagles begin their regular-season schedule with home matches on Wednesday, Nov. 8 (Florida High), and Thurs- day, Nov. 9 (Godby). Junior varsity soccer coach Ja- son O'Neal will return this sea- son, finding his roster primarily filled with enthusiastic fresh- men eager to learn and seeking to improve upon their 2-7-1 JV record from last season. The JV team roster includes Ben Anderson; Jake Blume, Tony Castellano, Liam Daniels, Travis Harrell, Rhett Harvey, Will Har- vey, Morgan Henry, Sam Hicks, Austin Lentz, Gage Martin, Robbie McPherson, Wayne Mur- ray, Josh Oliver, Josh Sanders, Spencer Smith, Tyler Unger, and Brandon Warr.

Through By KEITH BLACKMAR OfTheWakulla News Crawfordville auctioneer Dr. Joe Abal has sampled every- thing on the menu at Forgotten Coast, the well-known seafood restaurant on the outskirts of Crawfordville. Recently he was asked to auction the restaurant, where he has become a regular, along with its equipment. "It was a bittersweet task," he said. "I've enjoyed many a meal there and I've entertained friends and business associates there also." Abal and business partner Betty Evans handled the auction of the restaurant. Rotary Gives To FWMA The Rotary Club of Wakulla County recently donated $1,000 to the Florida Wild Mammal Association (FWMA) in Craw- fordville. The money will help the association pay for the cost of feeding and caring for animals at the center. Rotary Club President Donna Bass said the association "does a wonderful job caring for animals and birds." Judy Creese accepted the check from Bass on behalf of Chris Beatty and the FWMA. The Rotary Club raises more than $30,000 each year through Sthe annual Valentine's celebra- -tion. The club donates to ap- proximately 20 worthy causes. Auction Process "It was different to see the place up for sale," Abal said. "But my role was to represent the owners to the best of my ability and work to maximize the fair market value for this property." The Forgotten Coast has got- ten rave reviews from numerous food critics, both informal and formal, such as Ashby Stiff of the Tallahassee Democrat. Former owners John and Les- lie Cole have turned their res-- taurant into a success, rivaling several other well-known area dining spots each weekend. The auction of the restaurant resulted in John Cole staying on as the co-owner with an undis- closed partner, said Abal. "We have enjoyed having Joe as a regular customer," said John Cole. "He knows us and knows the quality of this res- taurant and the quality of the clientele we have built. He did a great job of representing us and getting the maximum for us in the auction." "In 2005, real estate auctions across the nation did $260 bil- lion in business," Abal stated. "It's a growing trend in commer- cial and residential property." Forgotten Coast will remain open with Cole in control and his cook in place. Some renova- tions to the structure have also taken place.

Advertisement More Than 100 People Participated In The Event ERA EveRt Raises Funds For MDA ERA Community Rkalty agents hosted its first aiiual "Community to Community" walk-a-thon/maiathon on Aug. 19. The event was organized to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) and "Jerry's Kids." Each agent committed to raise $600 toward a total goal of $30,000 from ERA Community Realty. More than 100 participants met at 7:30 a.m. for a free break-' fast furnished by Starbucks and Brugger's Bagels. At 8 a.m., the group departed by walking, bicycling or running from the ERA Corporate Headquarters at 2707 Killarney Way toward their Crawfordville office destination via a 26-mile route. There were five pit stops along the route with an esti- mated distance of 5.5 miles between each stop. Each indi- vidual chose to complete the whole route or any portion based on their physical ability and the help of a roving "wa- ter" patrol of volunteers, the Wakulla Sheriff's Office Bicycle Unit, and the Florida Highway Patrol. The event.concluded with a party/celebration at the Craw- fordville office with food, and snacks provided by Coca Cola and Albertson's. Bob Teel, broker/owner of ERA Community Realty, said, "This has been one of the most fulfilling fund-raisers my agents and I have been involved with during the 29-year history of our company. Each agent raised $600 or more for the event and our major sponsors of Wakulla Bank, Albertson's, Legacy Toyota, Smith & Thomp- son attorneys, and Wildwood Country Club & Inn contributed $1,000 each." Of the more than 100 people who began the event, 15 indi- viduals finished 15 miles while two finished 20 miles .and six "super heroes" completed the 26-mile trip in 95- to 100-degree weather.

Mike Hopkins at Lanark said grouper fishing is really getting Onuch better and quite a few Aish were caught over the week- *ndon Sunday. LY's and trolling eer to be the way most are eing caught. Snapper season closed the last day of October, .ut he said lots of snapper were aught. Nobody really fished or Spanish over the weekend rnd he didn't hear of any kings .r cobia. STrout are still being caught 'n the flats around the old ,orenzo's, but most are small. 'he Carrabelle River produced Oome nice trout over the week- ind. Several of his customers shed up past the Highway 98 bridge with live shrimp and aught quite a few trout and several of them were over 25 i In our last column, we cov- ered the tracks left by. White- Tailed Deer (bucks and does), Including ways to age them. SOther than a pet goat, which as almost identical tracks, the nnly other critter tracks one tould mistake for a deer is a wild pr feral hog. They also have the split hoof, but there is an obvi- ous difference. The front hoofs ire more rounded and tend to rl in, whereas, deer tracks are luite pointed. Where hogs are present, you'll ften find heavy rootings areas perhaps as large as an entire Stadium "bulldozed" holes that may be as deep as a bathtub. . Noimally. you'll find areas about [he size of a card table tipped up and pushed to the side as these porkers nose around for roots, grubs, and other'edibles, Most hog tracks are about the same length as a deer's about two and a half to three inches, but I've seen some hog.tracks left by thiee- to five-hundred io-unders that splay out as-xide asfqur, tip fiv inches: .., 1 '- : : 'ogs that size didn't get that big from being dumb. They are mostly nocturnal and you'll hard- ly ever.seem them. When you 0o though. especially up close, .he name "Hogzilla" fits aptly - they'll remind you of a rhino,. Often mistaken for smaller hog rootings are the tracks ofNine- ianded Armadillos, but rather than push dirt up into a slight hound surrounding the pit (as 'hogs generally do), armadillos stand in one spot, dig down and s straight intothe soil, casting the .dut back into a pile about the size'bf a small dinner plate. Raccoons tend to circle an 'area %while digging up turtle .eggs. for example. Being more in- 'telligent. coons circle constantly hoping for an easier digging spot .where there is softer sand or.less roots to deal with. Armadillos leave very easy tiacks to identify. Their claws sink deeply in our sandy soil, and wherever they go, they'll leave a tail dragging mark'about one half inch across. As possums walk, they tend to bounce their tails off the ground unless they're carrying their young. When doing so they'll arch their tail over theii back and the little 'mouse/ral sized young ones will wrap theii prehensile tails around hers and National Forest Plans Changes Visitors to the Apalachicola National Forest during general gun season may notice changes in services such as trash pick-up and facility maintenance. ,These changes are a result of the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP). The SCSEP program has pro- vided the Forest Service with routine maintenance and upkeep at many recreation sites. i The changes include: Campers may set up camp 14 ptays before general gun season begins (Nov. 9) and must leave i14 days after general gun season ends (Feb. 14, 2007). Quiet hours re from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. SKeep campsites clean. Rest- rooms will not be cleaned as frequently as in the past. SThe Forest Service will no lon- er provide trash pick-up. Please pack up your own trash and take tihome or to a nearby dumpster Provided by the FWC. inches. Umbrella Cove off Dog Island is still holding trout and plenty of bait. Reds continue to be numerous with gold spoons and live bait fished around the docks. The little barge off the Lanark Reef continues to produce sheepshead and flounder. Ben at Circle J's in Medart Said they didn't have much to , report but Lewis Smith did fish two days in the Ochlockonee. Bay and caught trout, reds and sheepshead using live shrimp.; Capt. David Gibbs told me!: week or so ago that he had been catching reds around the docks in the Ochlockonee River that had plenty of water around them. Silver trout should also be moving into the deep hole where the old Tradewinds Dock used to be. Scott at Jerry's Bait and. Tackle said grouper fishing off St. Marks is really picking uip. Capt. Randy Peart did a class: on trolling the St. Marks area for grouper last week and Rudy and Charlie Raymaker went to that class and on Sunday trolled theot,l Marks Reef with lann's .,$tre,Stp 25's and caught three nice grouper. Randy Trousdell alsocrolled the rocks off St. Marli and caught grouper on the Stretch 25. Bob Hoelzle fishe'd Wakulla Beach with a friend and they caught nine reds and kept two. Scott said quite a few trout are being caught near the lighthouse us- ing live shrimp. Jody Campbell Helps Caelan Whitehead, 5, Bring In A 4 1/2-pound Spanish Mackerel Mike Pearson of Tifton who owns a place at Shell Point said he and Russ Shaw fished Sun- day with live shrimp and the Gulp on the bars near Smith Island 'and caught quite a few' reds and were able to keep two. They fished both on the bottom and under the Cajun Thunder. On Wednesday I fished with David Quadagno and party from Tallahassee and we caught trout, flounder, sheepshead and black drum. I made a mistake going into a creek and the tide got so low I wasn't able to get Manatee Collisions Won't Always Mean Citation 'Wakunee ""' hang on to her back hair for a piggy-back ride. Possums also, carry leaf litter to make a nest down deep in a hole or hollow log, and the tail will not be dragged. Armadillos will all but plug the roughly six-inch den they make in the ground with leaves' to keep their furless bodies warm during chilly winter peri- ods. Their holes are round., On the other hand, soon to become threatened (status) Gopher Tortoises' burrows are always flattened on the bottom of the hole, boring down into the earth at roughly a 45 degree angle. At the entrance to the burrow is the "apron" of sand broadcast out of thF hole, usu- ally about 20 to 30 inches. Gopher Tortoises leave a set of parallel .tracks as they plod along. You'll often seen their faint tracks in the apron as they enter or leave. If the hole down past the burrow entrance is eleven inches in width, then the turtle is roughly eleven inches long, and the hole width allows it to turn around at any point in the tunnel. A Gopher Tortoise of that size (11 inches) will leave tracks about eight to nine inches apart. As we travel by boat along Wakulla's rivers in the early summer months, we can see exposed sand bars where slid- ers, cooters, or even soft-shelled turtles have left the river to lay their eggs. However, if you see a set of tracks the size of a garden cultivator, or even a tractor, you are observing the passage of an Alligator Snapping Turtle' - the largest freshwater turtle in North America. Some get over O50 pounds. On beaches where the pal- mated tracks. of gulls and many other unpalmated beach birds like herons and sandpip- ers can be found among the Ghost Crab tacks, you might find a sea turtle's tracks.

Officials said cooler weather will cause manatees to begin their annual migration from open water to warm-water springs and power plant discharges, leaving the slow-moving sea cows vul- nerable to speeding and even slow-moving vessels; Law-abiding boaters who strike a manatee or observe a manatee hit by another vessel can call the FWC's Wildlife Alert Hotline at 1-888-404-3922 with- out fear of a citation. Boaters should be prepared to provide the incident location, weather conditions, boat specifications and other information. FWC will attempt to recover, and if pos- sible, rehabilitate the animal. "We want to assure boaters who operate vessels lawfully and responsibly they should rot feel reluctant to report acciden- &Il collisions with manatees," FWC executive director Ken Had- dad said. "The information we gather from reported accidents can help guide manatee conser- vation efforts in the future." In addition, Haddad said, prompt response to an accident may increase the chance of success in attempts to rescue and care for the injured animal and eventually return it to the wild. forest j~nima 96spital Boarding space is limited--make your Sets' boarding reservations NOW for any holiday6 trips!

It wouldn't have been so bad if there were plenty of fish in there but there weren't. Once we got out of the creek we found some fish and one of the fellows caught a 19 pound black drum which made his day. On Thursday I fishedwith the Chester King party from McDonough, Ga., and I didn't make the same mistake of go- ing back in that creek. We fished around Oyster Bay most of the day and caught 17 trout, three Spanish, a pompano and three nice reds and about 20 small ones. Everything was caught on live shrimp under the Cajun Thunder. Late in the day when the tide started coming in we fished the flats near the old duck blind and caught several keeper trout and quite a few small ones. Tides this week are good and they are calling for good weather. Remember'to leave that float plan with someone and be careful out there.

A sigh of relief that we, the area Coast Guard Auxiliarists. won't be jug- gling auxiliary boat crew duty or radio watchsranding with their private lives already full with football games, other school activities, and soon, Christmas shopping. But it also brings a bit of nostalgia because we shall miss the camaraderie we shared during boating season. As I wrote, this was the last month of scheduled weekend patrols, but I just want to reas- sure the boaters, although the radio stations won't be manned, if you need assistance, just call the Coast Guard Station, Pana- ma City on Channel 16,'VHF-FM. They will notify whatever Coast Guard Auxiliary unit (Flotilla) that is closest and if we have a vessel available, the case will be assigned to. us. If not, the Coast Guard will arrange to send one of theirs. Boaters, you are not being deserted. We, the Coast Guard and/or Coast Guard Aux- iliary, will be there for you. Reminder to Flotilla 13 mem- bers: Our November meeting is this coming Saturday, Nov. 11 at our Shell Point Coast Guard Auxiliary Station. The staff meeting will be at 6 p.m., business meeting at: 7 p.m., fol- lowed by one of our delicious covered dish buffets. Guests are always welcomed. If you are a newcomer to the area, this is a wonderful way to meet people. Note from your reporter: Unfortunately I did not receive news from Flotilla 12 at St Marks in time. for this week's column. In searching for something for the readers, I found some- thing unique. The history of the Coast Guard appears often in various magazines, but this is the first time I have seen a his- tory of the uniforms, not only of the Coast Guard, but of the Revenue Service, Lighthouse Service and Life Saving Service. The article, appeared in "USCG Reservist?' magazine, 2006 Uniform Issue.

As it is a rather long article, you will find it in several future columns. It began, "From the founding of the Revenue Service in 1790, to the present-day Coast Guard, the military aspect of the ser- vice has been unmistakable. Al- exander Hamilton emphasized the need for commissioned of- ficers in this naval service. Until the U.S. Navy was reestablished in 1797 after being disbanded at the close of the American Revolution the Revenue ser- vice was the nation's only naval entity and there was a definite need for visible symbols of au- thority. A standardized uniform was the result, The history of these uniforms reflects both the traditions and roles of the Revenue Service and the Coast Guard, as well as the fashions of the day. The early history of Revenue Service uniforms is vague to non-existent. The scarcity.of in- formation is due in part to two fires at the Treasury Depart- ment building in Washington. The British destroyed most of the records when they torched government buildings in 1814 and another conflagration in 1833 destroyed even more docu- ments. In any event, the early uni- form must have been similar to that of the Continental Navy. In 1776, the officer's uniform con- sisted of a blue coat with red lapels and cuffs, yellow brass buttons, a red waistcoat, blue breeches, white stockings and a tri-cornered hat. There was even disagreement in the navy con- cerning this uniform. John Paul Jones and others substituted white for the red decorations and blue breeches. No regula- tions or contemporary illustra- tions' of the earliest Revenue service uniforms have been found. The enlisted seaman's outfit was more of a matter of tradi- tion than regulation, both in the Revenue service and Navy. The bell-bottomed trousers were easily rolled to the knee for deck work. The black necker- chief could be worn as a sweat cloth. Tradition has it that the color black was in memory of the death of British Admiral Horatio Nelson, but from a prac- tical standpoint, black did not show tar stains. (Tar was used extensively on wooden ships - particularly for a waterproof coating for the rigging.) In the days of sail, long hair was com- mon for sailors, who wore it in a pigtail, probably to prevent it from tangling in the rigging, and coated it with tar again to present loose strands from snagging (hence the sailor's 'nickname Jack Tar). The jump- er's wide collar which was originally detachable also pre- vented tar stains on the body of the uniform. Finally, the enlisted sailor's short jacket allowed freedom of movement in mounting the ratlines, manning the footropes and other sailing necessities. Any uniformity in seamen's uni- forms was strictly the result of similarities of garments sold in the slop stores the early varia- tion of the ship's store. As sailors tended to be pro- ficient with needle and thread, many made their own uniforms and followed their shipmates patterns. Individuality could be had by a wide variety of embroidered decorations, par- ticularly on the edges of the collar and cuffs.

One of the Earliest Revenue Service Uniforms Revenue service did not appear until 1834. 1, The earliest surviving bitten description of a Revenue service uriform dates from 1819. The of- ficer was described as outfitted in a "neat and becoming suit of blue, a body coat, trimmed with brass buttons, having for a design an eagle perched upon an anchor surrounded by stars. The pants and vests were blue, with tall, round hats, black cock- ades, leather stocks and cut and thrust swords." This body coat was double- breasted and' swallow-tailed, with six buttons per lapel and four on the skirts, plus one on each corner of the collar. The leather stock was a wide band worn around and over the shirt collar leaving only the flared edge of the collar protruding above. The uncomfortable but fashionable stock was eventu- ally replaced .by the necktie. The. "modern" pants had only recently been introduced old fashioned knee breeches were last seen in Navy regulations in 1813. Ranks were distinguished by the epaulettes and prob- ably conformed to Navy prac- tice. In the early service, there were only three officer grades in any case. Captains wore two epaulettes, senior lieutenants wore only a right epaulette and junior lieutenants, a left epau- lette. Rank may also have been indicated by the number of but- tons in various places, another common uniform practice 'of the day. The tall, black, round headgear were referred to as stovepipe hats, and sported a cockade a ribbon rosette deco- ration on the side. To be continued - Until next week.

The only restrictions were khat the statements would be limited to about 350 words and that there would be no negative campaigning. Here is what they had to say: County Commission District 2 SGEORGE GREEN (D) SIn the course of this cam- paign, I have traveled to many .of the communities of Wakulla :County. It has been my pleasure to meet and listen to a large number of our citizens as they voice their feelings and ideas about our local government. - Repeatedly, the concerns have dialt with issues such as the environment, growth, develop- ment, government operations and public safety. It is to be expected that as communities grow and change, they willalso experience certain pains. However, one may take cer- tain steps to control these issues. if Wakulla County is to overcome these problems without experi- encing the effects of growth, we must make changes in the way we conduct business. Some of these may include: SMaking our government more open and accessible to citizens; SDoing a better job of protect- ing out environment and natural resources; 1 Improving and implement- ing a better plan as it relates to growth and development; And, we must develop and/or put in place a plan for improving and meeting our public safety needs. It is a fact that our community will continue to grow. It is also true that we must develop new and better solutions'to current,, as well as new, challenges. We' must strive to change both our ideas and our attitudes on how we feel and deal with the issues of today as well as the future. Unless we do that, our success as a growing community will prove to be quite a struggle. At this time, I would like to thank my many supporters.. 'Your prayers. phone calls, letters, jP-mail messages, horn honks, waves, encouraging words to me, and to others about me, financial support and the many other acts 6f kindness you have give are very much appreciated, I would be remiss if I did not thank The Wakulla News for providing me this space to expresss some final words to you, the citizens. If I am elected to serve you, the citizens of wakulla County, I am available to devote full-time attention to the issues of con- fern as well as day-to-day local government operations. I look fo ward to serving as your voice on the Board of County Commis- ioners. On Nov. 7, vote George Green for County Commissioner, 'District II, i LARRY TAYLOR (R) t Thank you to everyone who Worked to improve Wakulla idounty this campaign season Sno, matter who you supported. ,CARS, TRACTORS & IMPLEMENTS 2106 CRAWFORDVILLE *HWY. 926-1006 ,.11 1g 926-TREE (8733) I also appreciate my worthy opponent running a campaign that stuck to the issues and maintained a.high level of deco- rum and respect. No matter the outcome, I've gained a friend. Our Board of County Com- missioners faces extremely im- portant challenges. They must make bold decisions to shape Wakulla County. I commit to work to keep taxes low while providing the best services your tax dollars can buy. I commit to protecting Wakul- la County's environment. Our economic future depends upon clean water abounding with ma- rine life and forests alive with diverse wildlife. SI commit to a public review and update of our County Com- prehensive Plan so we know how and where our county will grow. This must be done cor- rectly because it will guide our county's growth for decades to come. I commit to improving our Public Works contract so our roads and infrastructure will be built and maintained properly. I commit to partnering with our superb schools to ensure we maintain the quality of life our citizens expect and deserve. I commit to implementing a tree and landscape ordinance to improve the aesthetics of Crawfordville Highway. I commit to ensuring all our contracts clearly define require- ments and expectations. I commit to decrease dupli- cation of technology and pro- cesses in our county offices so your tax dollars can be spent to improve your quality of life. It doesn't take a crystal ball to know these are just a few of the issues .the BOCC must grapple with over the next four years. My experience working in large corporate environments and working as a consultant to the Florida DOT gives me unique insight. I will make. the hard decisions necessary to move. Wakulla County in a positive direction. I'm asking for your vote. You must make an important decision. You decide who will represent you on.issues that directly affect you aiid your fam- ily. Please vote Larry Taylor on or before Nov. 7. County Commission District SALLY GANDY (D) It is time for a change and for a woman with integrity, intel- ligence and initiative to serve you, the citizens of Wakulla County, on the Board of County Commissioners, . I .hold a Ph.D. in Family Relations/Child Development from the College of Human Sdi- Sences at Florida State University and taught there for 24 years. I retired with Professor Emeritus status, My values are family values arid improving the quality of life for all the people who live in this wonderful and special place. Having owned property in this county for over 30 years and living here full-time for over 20 years, I have seen the changes that our county has gone through. My logo is "Charting the Fu- ture Together," and we must all work together for the future so that our children and grandchil- dren can continue to enjoy our coastal traditions and lifestyle. I will work to: 1. Lower our property tax- es: 2. Protect our environment and natural resources; 3. Create respect, harmony and cohesiveness on ouriBoard of County Commissioners; 4. Keep public safety a high priority; 5. Continue efforts to make a community center for our youth a reality: 6. Improve existing parks and create new recreational facilities as needed. I am a fair decision-maker, a listener. communicator and con- sensus builder. I will work hard for all the citizens of the county and not for my own personal agenda. I will make decisions based on facts and I will study and research the items before I come to any conclusions. Being a candidate for politi- cal office has been a great expe- rience and one in which I have learned so much. I have had the opportunity to connect with old friends and meet many new friends over the past months. A sincere and heartfelt "Thank You" to everyone who support- ed me with events they hosted, funds they contributed and the friendship they provided. Wakulla County is truly the best place there is and may it always stay that way. HOWARD KESSLER (NPA) As your commissioner my priorities have been and will continue to be: 1. Government accountability and efficiency 2. Lower property taxes 3. Protection of our water supply and water quality 4. Well-planned growth that pays for itself First: Accountability will make our government more ef- ficient. It will help to eliminate waste; The money saved will enable us to increase wages for county employees at the bottom end of the pay scale. No county employee should have to hold a second job just to make ends meet. This is why I continue to advocate a state operational audit. which will show how we can make our government more efficient, which will save money, cut property taxes, raise employee salaries, and improve county services. Second: :I have consistently voted for lower property taxes I continue to support our front: line law enforcement workers firefighters and emergency medical personnel. Third: Water is our most precious asset. and we need tc be sure that we, along with ouj children and grandchildren. wil have, an abundant and. clear water supply for drinking, swim ming, and fishing. I have voted and worked hard to protect and preserve our water supply and our, water quality. Last but not least: I believe that planned growth should pay for itself. The citizens and busi- nesses in Wakulla County today should not be forced to pay the costs of new growth for those who move in tomorrow. We need to adopt realistic impact fees so new residents and businesses will pay their fair share of the cost of county services and roads. We need to keep our promises to citizens who now live here and pave our neighborhood roads first before we pave roads for future development. We need a land-use plan that /is acceptable to our builders and especially to our citizens. Then we must all stick to that plan. Your vote for me will help keep Wakulla special.

Wednesday, Oct. 25, about ndnight, the Wakulla Station VPlunteer Fire Rescue Depart- njent was dispatched to a re- ported residential structure fire oA Card Lane. The St. Marks and: diwfordville departments were also dispatched to provide sup- port for Wakulla Station. On arrival it was determined tat the fire started in the air conditioning and heating sys- t m. The heating element ap- peared to have ignited the duct work. Most of the fire damage was around the duct work, but a part of the mobile home did c4tch fire. The firefighters extin- guished the fire, but not before the home filled with smoke. As- sitant Fire Chief Jerry Johnson entered the house and rescued ohe of the family's dogs using a tlfermal imaging camera. Another dog was inside, but r4n and could not be located. Thie firefighters used smoke evacuation fans to remove smoke from inside the home, andd after the home had been cleared of smoke;, were able to locate the second dog hiding under a bed. 'Fortunately, the dog survived the smoke. Fast action by the volunteer firefighters kept this fire from spreading, thereby resulting in relatively little fire damage to the structure. Wakulla Station Fire Chief Al Shylkofski recommends when heating systems are being used for the first time at the begin- ning of cold weather, homeown- ers should test the system before going to bed for the night. If there is a problem, it will be recognized before retiring for the night. Chief Shylkofski also urges homeowners to have prking smoke alarms in their homes. Safety Tips SFor Turkey Fryers. ,Thanksgiving is only a few weeks off and some Wakulla County residents are likely mak- ing plans for the big day. Some plans might include use of a turkey fryer. and while these cboking methods are safe if used properly, they can also result in catastrophic fire damage and injury if improperly used. The U.S. Consumer Product' Safety Commission reports that some of the hazards associated with turkey fryers are: SHouse fires leading to inju- ries and property damage. . Ignition of oil. This was of- ten related to oil reaching excess temperatures or contacting the open flame of the fryer.

The majority of reported inci- dents occurred while the oil was being heated prior to adding the turkey. For this reason, it is very important to monitor the temperature of the oil closely. If any smoke is noticed coming from a heated pot of oil, the burner should be turned off immediately because the oil is overheated. There is a risk of injury re- sulting from splashing due to the cooking of partially frozen meats. Thoroughly thaw and dry all meats before cooking in hot oil. Other important safety rec- ommendations: Keep fryer in full view while burner is on. Do not allow children in the .vicinity of the fryer. Place fryer in an open area away from all walls, fences, or other structures. Never use in, on or under a garage, breezeway, carport, porch or any structure that can catch fire. Raise and lower food slow- ly to reduce splatter and avoid burns. Cover bare skin when add- ing or removing food. Check the oil temperature frequently. If a fire occurs, immediately call 911.

Also in search of a winter loca- tion are snakes. Even though I have lived in the same place for 18 years, I have only seen poisonous snakes on my property twice - both times in the early fall. We do occasionally have non- poisonous snakes in the spring and summer. The last time we saw a poisonous snake, about a month ago, it was involved with one of my dogs. Three of my adopted shelter dogs were out in the front yard in the early evening. They are ter- rier mixes and bark from excite- ment as they run in the yard.

It's amazing to me how there is no talk about what can be done to help this county, while candidates resort to attacking a commissioner who lis never said anything negative about other candidates. d *: ib Anyone who has watched the County Commission meetings, or read The Wakulla Nws, would know how Howard Kessler has consistently voted for responsible action. The misinforma- tion that was sent out was taken out of context to try to make Commissioner Kessler look bad. If you doubt that, research the commission meeting recordings and hear for yourself. Each time he voted, it was in the best interest of the county and its citizens. We know we can trust Commissioner Kessler. The question now is can we trust the candidates who bend the truth during the campaign. John Trice Crawfordville P.S. I see that supporters of other candidates have been taking pleasure in running over Howard Kessler's campaign signs.

In addition to the local races;. the 2006 ballot has a race for U.S. Senator with Katherine Har- ris and Bill Nelson as the most -well-known candidates. There are four other candidates on the ballot and a place for write-in candidates. The governor's race includes Charlie Crist and lim Davis along with candidates from four other parties and a write-in candidate The race for attorney general will be between Bill McCollum and Walter "Skip" Campbell. In the chief financial officer race, Tom Lee faces Alex Sink. Charles Bronson faces Eric Co- peland in the race for commis- gioner of agriculture. The ballot contains vote re- tention questions about three. Florida Supreme Court justices and three judges in.the District Court of Appeal. Allan Loftin is facing Randall Nichols in the Seat 4 race for the Wakulla Soil and Water Conser- vation District board. There are also six proposed Constitutional Amendments asking voters to make changes to the Florida's -Constitution. - One of the amendments is a proposal to require broader pub- -lic support for the amendments to be placed on the ballot. Two other amendments that have received attention are a proposal to increase the amount of state funding for statewide tobacco education and an increase of -the Homestead Exemption for low income senior citizens from $25,000 to $50,000. The voter registration books i:n Wakulla County closed with 16,730 registered voters includ- ing 10,518 Democrats, 4,453 required "Paid for and approved by"language. Kessler, a retired surgeon, said this week that he bought the property in 1996 it was a 2,500-square-foot home and more than three acres on the Ochlockonee River. He said he did not know until the closing that the property was platted in an old subdivision as roughly 15 lots. He bought some adjacent lots over the years. He did not have the land subdivided. Kessler later moved from the property to a home in Panacea.' within District 4. The land is listed with Shell Point Realty, and has been since January, not as a "Developer's Dream," but as investment property with the heading, "In- vestorsl Great location for river front, boating community." The listing price is $3.5 million for the total 3.4 acres. Kessler said he ad intended' to live at the property un-tiF lis death and then leave it to his wife, but the taxes on the land had become overwhelming, ris- ing some 800 percent over the past two years. "i have mixed feelings about it," Kessler said of offering the land for sale. "I would not like to see that property devel- oped." Gandy said that it's the way Republic ans ad 1,709 voters who list their party as some- Asked about growth man- agement and natural resource protection at CCOW, Kessler praised the county's recently ap- proved wetlands ordinance and the karst protection element to the comp plan. But he roted there is no stormwater plan. "What we're doing now with development is almost insane," he said. Mistakes have been made in the county's growth, Gandy said. She again stressed the need for a master plan to guide growth. In the District 2 race, new- comer George Green defeated incumbent Henry Vause in the Democratic primary. Green, a retired public school principal and administrator with the state Department of Education, has said his pri- orities are transportation and water quality. Republican Larry Taylor, who works in the technology field, said his priorities are dealing with the problems associated with growth, such as U.S. High- way 319 being "one lane out uses Uproar the property is being marketed that drew her concern. She said she had campaigned up to this point with an effort to avoid the negative, but said she felt she had beenpushed to respond by some of the conten- tions Kessler had put forth in his print advertisements. "I have tried to take the high road," she said. "I'm just really trying to put the facts out to the public. It was a difficult decision." She added, "It is a political campaign." When asked why now, Gandy said she was hopeful the infor-' mation would come out from Other sources but, when it ap- peared it wouldn't, she wanted voters to know. "Nobody else would do it," she said, A number of Kessler support- ers sent letters to the Wakulla News objecting to the mail-out.' Cyndi Webster objected to what she referred to as Gandy's "Poli- tics of Personal.Destruction." "Fair debates on issues are wel- comed in a campaign but shame on the candidate who attempts to. discredit her opponent by half-truths and misrepresenta- tions," Webster wrote.

The money could not be used to deal with any existing deficiencies or for district operations. Assistant Superintendent for Finances Jimmie Dugger, responding to Scott's concerns, noted that if the school board doesn't pass an impact fee to pay for new facilities, the only other option is to seek a bond issue. Superintendent Miller calcu- lated a bond issue, at 2 mills, for a $150,000 home would be $300 a year, multiplied by 20 years comes out to $6,000 the amount of the proposed impact fees, Miller then questioned if it was fair to charge current residents to pay for the cost of growth. :.

'"Yes, I was a charter boat cap- tain in a previous life," he said. "I've been blessed with having any choice of wonderful lives." '"There is an unbelievable amount of work," he said of the farm. "But, I'll keep expanding until it pays for itself." The operation takes tons of mushroom compost, 2 1/2 miles of irrigation lines, a water tower-fed fish emulsion and crab meal.

Evans noted it was the reputa- tion of the district's schools that has fueled local growth. Dugger said that he has a letter on his desk from the state Department of Community Af- fairs requesting confirmation that the district has thle capac- ity over the next three years to accommodate the population growth from the more than 600 new homes that have been ap- proved for construction by the county commission. With plans to construct a new elementary school near Bloxham Cutoff next year and to expand Shadeville Middle School, the district does have capacity, Dugger said. But, he added, "If we don't have money for schools then we will be' a roadblock to de- velopment."

While the mill is a memory now, the sounds of the creek and waterfalls can be heard when Sopchoppy experi- want?" School Superintendent David Miller asked school board members. "You're going to be a roadblock one way or the other" - by passing impact fees or not passing them. School board members indi- cated they might support a plan to impose fees at 60 percent, then add 20 percent two years later and another 20 percent after that to reach the maximum $6,300 impact fees. At 60 percent, the amount would be $3,817, Miller calcu- lated. Dugger worked out that it would be enough money to pay for 86.3 new student stations, adding that the school popula- tion increased by 120 students this year. "That won't even keep up with growth," Thomas said. The school board may hold a special meeting on Nov. 13 ences,a wet season. "I love the sound of the wa- terfalls," said Simmons.

Lucas loves watching and helping first-graders blossom as they learn to read. She said she is thrilled to be at Shadeville, where she can maintain active involvement with her son's education. Lucas even finds delight in her daily lunchroom duty. Of course, it's not everyone that willingly dresses up. like "Woodsy the Owl" for the students. Fortunately for Shadeville, she works above and beyond the call of duty serving on vari- ous committees including Proj- ect Learning Tree, the Sunshine Committee, and the Safety Committee. She also served as a Team Leader. "Nan works as an instruc- tional assistant for first and second grades," Brazier said, "Her dedication to helping our teachers and students is evident on a daily basis. She makes sure that the teachers Nan Lucas Barbara Montgomery have the materials they need and even creates materials to help.select students. Nan serves on the Safety Commit- tee and works cohesively, with the administration to oversee our students' safe loading and unloading of school buses. Her love for the children is apparent in her duties. She is a loyal and trustworthy employee and a.. valued member of the Shadev- ille team." Barbara Montgomery, the October Teacher of the Month, has been leading instructional ,lessons in Wakulla County since 1997. "Barabara Montgomery does an outstanding job for River- springs Middle School," said Dod Walker, RMS principal. "I appreciate her. Her fellow teachers appreciate her. She is patient with her ESE students. However, she expects her stu- dents to perform within their ability level. She leads by ex- ample and is a role model for newer and less experienced teachers." Montgomery brought expe- rience from Leon County as a teacher and guidance counselor when she arrived in 1997, She grew ip in Tallahassee and graduated from Lincoln High School. She received her bache- lor's and master's degrees from Florida A&M University, When asked what. is most enjoyable about her job she said, "When I am able to tap into a student's inquiring mind, make a positive connection and then provide activities, opportunities and experiences that allow growth and progress toward a success- ful life.': Mt. Zion P.B. Church is also a fortunate recipient of Mont- gomery's services, as she has taught Sunday School class- es for students in grades six through eight for 20 years there. She has also served as a youth adviser for Middle FL-GA P.B. Association for 10 years. She is the corresponding secretary and serves on the Executive Board for FAMU-Lincoln High Class of 1959. Contributing at work and at church comes natural for Montgomery. Her motivation is derived from being able to help students. "I feel proud that students know I am here for them, and they can always count on me. to assist them in any way pos- sible," Montgomery said., Applicants Sought For Leadership Forum The Able Trust is accept- ing applications for the eighth annual Florida Youth Leader- ship Forum tYLF). a prestigious leadership conference for high school students with disabili- ties.

The "open house" can be a valuable part of the selling pro- cess, offering prospective buyers the chance to view houses in a low-pressure, "browsing" atmo- sphere. Susan Council Open houses are always worth- while. If many prospective buy- ers attend, it shows you that the property is attractive and sale- able. If few people show up, it may indicate that the price is too high. Try not to draw your own conclusions. Your agent will give you a full report on open-house activity and offer' an assessment of its results. If you're thinking about buy- ing or selling in the near future, open houses in your area provide an opportunity to educate your- self about market conditions, asking prices, the competition, etc. You should definitely plan to be out of the house during any open house your agent has scheduled. People often feel un- comfortable speaking candidly and asking questions in front of current owners. You want them to feel as free as possible to pic- ture your house as their "dream home."

While you're there, visit me at the OPEN HOUSE at the Pre- serve at Bay's Edge on Saturday, from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00.p.m., You might just find what you're looking for in Apalach!
