A resident of the United Kingdom, seeking his long lost brother, found his relative in Wakulla County.

Sparkman defeated Gov. Jeb Bush appointment Anne Ahrendt during the Nov. 7 General Elec- tion. Sparkman will take the position until the 2008 election when he will have the opportu- nity to seek a full four-year term. The 2008 election will get the constitutional officer back on its normal election cycle with the sheriff, clerk of the court, tax collector, supervisor of elections and superintendent of schools. Wakulla County Judge Jill Walker swore Sparkman into his new office. Attending the event were Sparkman's parents, Del and Clara Sparkman of Craw- fordville, his wife, Rita, one of ville, and wife, Kathy, at the Orlando International Airport. The Morgans held up a ban- ner welcoming the Hilliers to. the United States, part of a two- week stay in Crawfordville and Fort Lauderdale. Russ Hillier was born Russell Richard Morgan in 1942 as a war baby to a Canadian Army man. Russ was eventually adopted by an aunt and uncle in the UK., "I've known I had a brother since 1945, but there was no way for me to find out where," said Wayne Morgan. Geneol- ogy work by one of Russ' sons turned up a list of potential brothers and Russ went to work locating his brother through late-night telephone calls. #The first telephone call "was engaged," said Russ of the busy signal. The second attempted call was to the wrong person.

Sparkman was sworn in by Judge Jill Walker as his fam- ily members and supporters looked on. "I appreciate you all," Spark- man said. "I could not have done it without you." Sparkman said his first day on the job was spent talking to staff and making sure his old staff members at the planning department were handling mat- ters as well. "It's been a whirlwind to be honest," he added. "I've got a lot to learn and a short time to do it."

The proposal calls for fees on a single-family home to start at $3,800 for the first 18 months, increasing to $5,090 after that, and after three years to be $6,362. The school board cannot pass an ordinance to create impact fees, but is requesting that the Wakulla County Commission ap- prove school impact fees at the same time as they are consider- ing passing their own impact fee. Consultants for the county have suggested impact fees of as much as $6,490 for a single-fam- ily home that, in combination with school impact fees, would add more than $14,000 to the cost of a building permit. At the special school board meeting on Monday, Nov. 13, board member Mike Scott, who is also a building contractor, expressed concern about the effect impact fees would have on the county's growth. Scott pointed out that 50 percent of the county's busi- ness licenses are construction- related. School board member Jerry Evans looked around the meet- ing room and observed, "It sends a huge message to me that nobody's here." Even after a couple of front-page stories in the newspaper, Evans said, citizens 'do not appear to be concerned about impact fees -or at least not enough to go to a meeting to object to it. Superintendent of Schools David Miller added that maybe current residents feel that im- pact fees are a way to make new residents pay for the growth. The one citizen who did at- tend, Broward Sapp, said he was worried about the effect the fees might have on the children who want to build in Wakulla County. "Our kids," he said, "my kids and your kids are the ones I'm concerned about." Please turn to Page 9 an b Ia Inside This Week Almanac Page 13 Church Page 4 Classifieds..................

The card that was sent out about Mr. Kessler was the lowest and worse invasion of a person's private problem. This had nothing to do with Wakulla County and was more than 10 years ago. It reminds me of schoolyard bullies if you don't do what they want you to do, they will get back at you. What a lesson for your children.

Is this just done to a man who votes for the people and what they want, or is this a message to the rest of the board what will be done to them If they don't do what they are told? ' Shirley Fitch Crawfordville Last Week's Editorial Was On Target Editor, The' News: A big "thank you" to The Wakulla News editorial board for publishing the important piece regarding the last-minute character assassination blitz by the Gandy campaign.and the so-called "Wakulla Citizens for Fairness in Government." While The News rightly pointed out that this negative offensive attack was dirty and deceitful, the point must also be made that this unethical tactic may very well have cost Gandy the election. The spectacular event that occurred on the eve of the election may have helped carry the day: a large group of old and new Kessler support- ers so moved by the disgusting onslaught that they took to the streets and carried that momen- tum into the polls. Unfortunately, the paper failed to acknowledge the per-- sons responsible for this ven- omous attack through a ficti- tious organization, which.was formed just two weeks prior to the election. According to the paperwork on filewith the Supervisor of Elections, the chairman of the group is Lisa Jones of Panacea while the listed campaign trea- surer is Steve Willis, a captain at the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office (WCSO). The mailings were actually sent from Mr. Willis' home address. I think it is very important for voters to know the persons behind such a malicious and cowardice ploy, even if it is after the fact. r Captain Willis has even claimed that the public docu- mentation supports his group's claims, which itself is untrue. For the sake of democracy, let's just hope these types of slimy actions do not persist in future elections. I. for one, am grateful that the voters were able to see though this distasteful scheme and that it actually helped cre- ate a last-minute groundswell of support. But most of all. I am extremely proud of the way Dr. Kessler and his wife, Anne, publicly handled this difficult episode. Surely, this attack has hurt them on a deep, profound level. But they have been able to rise above, hold their head high knowing how respect can't be' gained by lying, cheating, or be- ing hateful. So to you, Howard and Anne, know that you both have earned a great deal of respect from the voters. Chad W.

Pat Ashley, Alzheimer's Forget Me Not Walk, Event Chair War Eagles Deserve Respect For Big Year Editor, The News: I drove home to Wakulla from the Pensacola Pine Forest quarterfinal game early Satur- day morning. After a few hours' sleep, I sat down with the Tal- lahassee Democrat and a cup of coffee to see how the paper would cover our team's dashed championship' hopes. I'd like to 'set the, re- cord straight. Chuck Corder of the Pensacola News-Journal, "Third quarter unwinds season for Wakulla," evidently didn't have time to check his facts before filing his story. The only War Eagles shutout loss this season occurred on Friday, Nov. 10, when the Pine Forest Eagles defeated Wakulla 20-0 in post- season play. Contrary to Mr. Corder's ar- ticle, the War Eagles were not "blanked in Week 4 to Rickards by the same score." The War Eagles' only loss prior to Friday was against Godby, 33-7. The score for the Rickards game was 20-0, but Wakulla won. Week after week, the War Eagles thrilled Wakulla fans with exciting football. Through- out this season, the hard work of Scott Klees, his coaching staff, and the young men on the field has been appreciated and continues to be celebrated by Wakulla fans long after Friday night's lights have dimmed.

After their award-winning performance at 'the last board meeting they deserve to eat a lot. For grown men to snicker and talk down to Dr. Kessler like he was too stupid to un- derstand why the meeting was adjourned, five minutes after it started, was disgraceful.

When Brian Langston-was quick to second Vause's motion, it appeared to be a planned piece of business with every- 'body )ut Dr. Kessler knowiing what was taking place.. , Ed Brimner was his usual self, balancing on the fence before going along with the bunch. Blanchard and the attorney kept stressing that a motion to adjourn was not debatable or open for discussion, according to Robert's Rules of Order. It looked like they had done their homework real good Commissioner Kessler was broadsided by their motion and said, "this appears to be some- thing that was decided before this meeting." Everybody up there par- ticipated in making Dr. Kessler look like a dunce, but it was their actions that were disgrace- ful. I think they all owe Dr. Kes- sler an apology. I'd say they were all taken by surprise with the outcome of the election. If their names had been on the ballot this time, they'd all be joining Mr. Vause. The people have had enough underhanded government. We deserve better. I hope they can see the handwriting on the wall. their days of service in this county are numbered.

In County $25, Out of County $30 Out of State $35, Oul of Country on Request Editor, The News: For several months, the coun- ty's volunteer firefighters have been working with the Board of County Commissioners and Interim County Administrator Joe Blanchard in an effort to resolve problems confronting the county's nine volunteer fire departments. The problems can best be summarized in five basic areas: 1. The county's rapid growth has caused a substantial in- crease in emergency fire and rescue incidents that must be handled by local volunteer fire departments. This growth in new residential structures and large commercial struc- tures, increased population and vehicular traffic was rapidly exceeding the county's all-vol- unteer fire rescue departments' capabilities of providing timely and adequate fire protection services. 2. While the fire department workloads have been increasing at a rapid and unprecedented rate 'the fire departments have been steadily losing volunteer firefighters. One reason for the decline in membership is due to volunteer firefighters driv- ing privately owned vehicles either to the fire station or to the emergency scene each time there is a fire or other emer- gency incident. Costs to operate their ve- hicles has become a substantial financial drain on the county's volunteer firefighters, to a point where many simply could not afford to continue responding, and were consequently forced to resign their local fire depart- ment memberships. 3. Costs to purchase insur- ance, fire trucks, fuel for the trucks, firefighting equipment and other day-to-day costs re- quired to operate the county's nine fire departments have risen dramatically over the past few years. Most firefight- ing equipment now costs over one hundred percent more than only 10 years ago. 4. A large number of the county's volunteer firefighters are employed outside the area (many outside the county) and, as a result, are not available to respond to emergency incidents during work-day hours. As a result, there are far too few fire- fighters available to respond to emergencies during thosedays and hours and, in some cases, none available to respond. Support 5. Problems confronting the fire departments have begun to adversely affect the depart- ments' abilities to provide timely and effective fire pro- tection services which, if not corrected, could cause home and business owners' insurance rates to increase. On May 16, 2006, the fire rescue service submitted a State of the Fire Rescue Services docu- ment to the Board of County Commissioners identifying problems facing the fire rescue services with recommended corrective actions. Following receipt of that document, the board convened public work- shops and hearings in an effort to reach a satisfactory solution to the program's problems and Please turn to Page 3 Your Views Support- Continued from Page 2 deficiencies. The commissioners, with input from volunteer fire- fighters and general public, came to the conclusion that the best way to enable the fire rescue services tq operate effectively, considering escalating costs of operations, growing workload and loss of volunteers was to: 1. Increase the annual MSBU assessment rate for residential and commercial structures to an amount that will provide a level of funding needed to ensure ef- fective operation of the county's fire rescue services. 2. Change the method of funding the fire departments to include not only MSBU revenue but also General Revenue and Impact Fee funds. 3. Authorize a stipend of $10 per call for the volunteers to offset personal costs incurred while operating their privately owned vehicles in the line of duty. The stipend program is .scheduled to begin Dec. 1 and will be funded with General Revenue resources. 4. Employ paid firefighters to staff the county's busiest fire sta- tions during work-day hours to ensure adequate and timely re- sponse to emergency incidents. The paid firefighter program is scheduled to begin in 2007 and will be funded from General Revenue resources. 5. Allow fire departments to use a part of Impact Fee resourc- es to pay for capital expenditure projects needed by the fire de- partments as a result of growth, such as new fire stations and firefighring equipment. Actions taken by the Board of County Commissioners will make a substantial and posi- tive difference in the ability of the county's fire rescue depart- ments to provide timely and professional fire prevention and protection services for residents and business owners throughout the county. It will improve their ability to retain experienced firefighters and recruit new firefighters.

Battle Continued from Page 1 population, Attorney Ron Mowrey, who represents the fishermen, ar- gued that staff under the former Marine Fisheries Commission had argued back in 1997 that a two-inch mesh net would, at the most, create a five percent bycatch. With it at 90 percent, Mowrey said, how can fisher- men get the agency to protect the resource and revisit the past decision? The hearing adjourned with- out any indication of how the panel will rule. Mowrey said that he felt com- fortable, judging from the pan- el's questions, that they would send the case back to the trial court for a full evidentiary hear- Ceremony Honors Veterans The West, Sopchoppy Cem- etery Committee hosted the annual Veterans' Day Service Sat- urday, Nov. l. af"t'T 'cfIc e't'ry.

SWakulla County Veteran Ser- vice Officer Alfred Nelson was the guest speaker. Mary Butera of the committee offered opening remarks and prayers were offered by Rev. Brett W. Templeton of the Sop- choppy and Ochlockonee Bay United Methodist churches and Rev. Carl Powell of Mount Elon Baptist Church. James Taylor is the post commander of VFW Post #4538. Wakulla High School band mem- ber Nina Reich played Taps. ing. "We were 'gutted' by the trial court when she improperly granted summary judgement," Mowrey said. Rep. Will Kendrick (D-Carra- belle), who represents Wakulla County in the state House of Representatives, was at the' hearing and said he intends to sponsor a bill this year dealing with the issue of due process before the FWC. Referringto a joint study that was being conducted by the FWC and fishermen to deter- mine the effect of the nets, Rep Kendrick said the reason the study was stopped by the state is clear: the results ovefkhelm- ingly supported the fishiemen's contention that the netslostly caught juvenile, mullk and other species such as idafish and trout. . "Fishermen are the greatest conservators of the reurirce,", Kendrick said. Recently elected Wakulla County Commissioner George Green was also at the hearing and said he was there in support of the fishermen. Continued from Page 1 "We feel these five have impressive backgrounds," said Blanchard. "We would like to be able to offer the job to someone by the new year." All five of the top candidates are men, but Blanchard said there were women in the run- ning as well, adding, "We had two women that decided against coming or accepted other jobs." Blanchard is planning to stay on with the county commission until March 16. He said he hopes the new administrator will be on the job for two or three months while he is still with the county to allow for some transition time. The new county administrator will probably want to have some input on the selection of the new county community development director, Blanchard added. The county lost Conmmunity Development Director Donnie Sparkman when he won his race for property appraiser. County commissioners have talked Blanchard into staying with the county longer than he originally anticipated. Blanchard had planned to re- tire at the end of 2006. However, he said he is looking forward to being on an airplane to Cancun, Mexico, after his last day, ruling out any additional working time with the board. Sparkman Continued from Page 1 "We're going to be the friend- liest office in the county," he said. "I expect a smooth transi- tion. The staff knows what to do." The work to complete the tax roll has been finished and the ,appraiser's office staff will now -concentrate. on Homestead and other exemptions in January. Melissa Corbett was selected as the interim community devel- opment director until the county can fill Sparkman's position. Corbett is the veteran member of Sparkman's staff. She was hired by former Community Develop- ment Director Ed MillS. "I think she can do the job," said Sparkman of Corbett, The flow of planning and develop- ment activity in Sparkman's office has slowed down in the past three months after months of packed planning agendas. If Corbett has a question,"I'i just across the street," said Spark- man. He added that he will prob- ably assist the planning depart- ment with planning meetings in the next few weeks. Interim County Administra- tor Joe Blanchard said the new county administrator will have an opportunity to give input on the planning hiring. Sparkman said his other sons, Colby and Troy, were un- able to attend the swearing in ceremony. "I'll have to do it all again (campaigning) in 2008," Spark- man said. A teenage motorist from Gulf County died in a one-vehicle accident near Sopchoppy on Thursday, Nov. 9, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Samuel J. Cox, 17, of Port St. Joe was killed at 10:20 p.m. on U.S. Highway 319,4.3 miles south of Sopchoppy. Cox was operating a 2004 Nissan truck northbound on the highway when he traveled off the roadway and overcorrected. Cox, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle.

If you haven't taken the time to visit with friends lately, then this is the time to catch up. You just might get your name in our column. Listen up, people If you come across any extra shirt buttons while walking around town, they probably belong to Allen Hobbs. Jon Allen Wohlrab, Alien and Ruthie's new grandson, is visit- ing with them, compliments of Alana and her husband, big Jon. Ruthie looks about four inches taller, and just in the short time A thought for the week: Let us be thankful and bless the name of the Lord. because He is good all the time.

Let us hdt forget There will be people all ovei'this world who will not have food to eat. If there is someone you can bless, do so. and thank God. Our prayers and concern go out to all the sick and shut-in. those in the hospital. nursing homes, prisons, and all in need ST. MARKS NEWS By Linda Walker I was at the dock, I saw two of Allen's buttons pop off when we were all talking about how gorgeous his grandson is. Sheree was not going to give him tip. Many people wanted to hold him. He really is precious. You did well Alana. " Well, I finally ran into Mike and Glenda Pruitt, and they are alive and well; But Mike had serious surgery a few weeks ago, so that was the season he hasn't been in trouble. He is feeling better, so I will have some of his news before long. I do understand that he is still counting the leftover nails from building their house. Glenda hasn't a clue-what he plans to. do with them. Neither does Mike. Neighbors, John Jefferson wants to thank everyone who helped and participated in' the escort and poker run for Latrelle Sessions: "There are too many to name, but fiost of all the Vietnam vets, M/C and the Leg- acy Vets who helped in, every way. Men like this make it pos- sible for all of us to be free to do events like this when we are needed to honor a loved one. At this time. Barny needs all of our support.

Influenza, and its complica- tions, kill an average 36.000 Americans and hospitalize 226.000 people in the United States every year. The American Lung Association has launched its "Faces of Influenza" public awareness initiative to help put a "face" on this illness and to encourage all residents to make an important preventative' health decision by planning in advance to inoculate them- selves and their families.against this deadly disease.,, "Two out of three Ameri- cans should be vaccinated fo6 influenza every year, but yet the immunization rates fall short each season." says Steve Scott, president and volunteer of the American Lung Association of Florida. "There is an ample sup- ,ply of flu vaccine available this year so we encourage everyone to break the habit of skipping their immunization due to shortages and get vaccinated." STo aid the Big Bend com- munity, the American Lung As- sociation,of Florida offers the Flu Clinic Locator powered by Maxim HealthCare, which can be found at www.lungfla.org or www.findaflushot.com or by calling (S50) 386-2065.

Each dog I've owned has had its own way of having fun. Dogs were my siblings grow- ing up, as I was an only child. My dog was my soulmate and always the loyal one at my side. "Lumpi" was a mixed hound and my dad's dog when he was stationed in Germany. Dad met my mother in a USO club and the rest was history. Back in the States, where I was born, Lumpi, my babysit- ter, stood guard on all fours. Nobody could come into the yard when I was in my baby carriage sleeping. My mother could garden peacefully know- ing Lumpi was on duty. When I got older and found the sand box, Lumpi posed for sand sculptures. My fun was seeing how, many scoops of sand could cov-, er him. He'd sit there patiently while grain's"bf sand slowly fell REUNIONS- Carfter Family i The annual Carter Family Reunion will will be held on Sat- urday, Nov. 18, beginning at 10 a.m. at Myers Carter's Cane Mill On Elie Carter Lane in Medart.

Nothing fazed him. He also walked me to school and was there when I walked home, Sometimes we wandered too far from home, and a police- man had to bring me back. He threatened to shoot my dog if I didn't behave and stay home. But I fearlessly stood in front of my "brother" and said it was my 'fault, not his. He just followed me- as does the current parade of pets. He was the dog most afraid of thunder.:In Illinois, we had tornadoes, and I'd watch him try to get under the bed or, couch.

My next dog was named Lumpi 2, but he was the family's high-class pet. Hewas a toy poodle and was picked out by my mother. The baby carriage and old baby clothes were used to dress him when I got bored. I enjoyed pushinghim down the street in my carriage with the pink dress waist ties blowing in the wind.

He suffered radia- tion exposure as a result. Thomas vows to continue to fish as long as he is able. His advice on mullet? "For the best tasting mullet choose those with fat bellies full of roe and, if possible, with eyes that are clear and green." This, he said, "proves that the mullet have come from offshore and have spent little time close to the coast where runoff front rivers and streams can make the water muddy." Following a day of family-ori- ented exhibits, demonstrations, music, vendors, and children's contests, the festival will con- clude at 4 p.m., following the presentation of some $3,000 in prize money to winners of the International Mullet Cook-Off. face. Dancing with dogs. play- ing patty cake with paws, wres- tling on the floor and playing "keep away" with the toy are a requirement. Lip-smacking noises, singing, catching popcorn and letting them lick out the yogurt cup are also a must. I'm sure many of you can relate to all this. It's a joy for me to see happy, peppy puppies.

Next to Ming Tree' : I More than 50 people gathered at the Wakulla County Extension Office early Thursday, Nov. 9, for the 2006 Wakulla County Farm- City Breakfast in honor of the strong partnership that exists between rural farmers and city residents. Many farmers were in at- tendance for the ninth annual event. The breakfast was fol- lowed by a speech on the many issues facing agriculture by Andrew Walmsley, Florida Farm SBureau's environmental services coordinator. "Farm-City Week was created over 50 years ago to bridge the Growing gap between urban resi- Sdents and rural growers," Walms- ley said. Agriculture remains vital to Florida for many reasons, according to Walmsley. "We recognize the breadth and totality of agriculture in our state and the economic impact it has," Walmsley said. "Agriculture is the second largest industry in the state, contributing over $87 billion to the economy. Prbduc- ers raise more than 280 different commodities and provid!thou- sands of jobs." I Wakulla County's Farm-Fam-. ily of the Year received a paque during the breakfast. Doug and Starla Raker are a third-genera- tion farm family. They g~rw a variety of field crops in a pick operation and raise cattle, hogs and game birds; Dale Bennett, County Exten- sion director, said the Rakers were selected due to their inter- est in keeping agriculture alive -- in Wakulla County as well as their endeavors. "They're good people," said Bennett. The .official Farm-City Week S Proclamation was presented and signed during the breakfast. Starla and Doug Raker Receive A Plaque From Farm Bureau Agency Manager Gene Lambert Wakulla County Commission Vice Chairman Howard Kes- sler signed the proclamation and presented it to Gary Crum, president of the Wakulla County Farm Bureau. The Wakulla County Farm Bureau and the University of Florida IFAS Extension Service organized the event. Along with the farmers and others involved in agriculture, area veterans were also in attendance at the Farm-City celebration. The veterans presented the colors before the meeting began and were thanked for their' service to the country.

Who isn't overwhelmed by the spectacle of the Grand Canyon's yawning chasm or endless expanse of water on an ocean horizon? Little effort is required to absorb the impres- siveness of the large and bold. Yet equally inspiring are the small wonders that challenge us to seek them out. .November is a good month to be impressed by both at Wakulla Springs State Park. The spring continues to pour forth an increased amount of water. Although water clarity in the spring basin begs for improve- ment, along the river cruise, it is a window on the daily dramas of life. An anhinga, a diving bird, swims by in the vitreous depths in hot pursuit of a small blue- gill. With lightning speed, it stabs the small prey, lifts its skewered meal above the water with its snake-like neck and commences to swallow it head first with acrobatic accuracy. .A manatee may yet share the same habitat, albeit clinging closer to the 69 degree spring headwaters. The manatee's comfort threshold of 70 degrees is slightly exceeded by the con- * stant and consistent' tempera- ture of the spring waters..' But considering that the gulf waters are also hovering at 69 degrees with temperatures soon to dip lower, the manatees may be delaying their departure for Warmer waters along the South- w-est coast of Florida a little too WAKULLA SPRINGS NEWS & NOTES By Jeff Hugo long. Will they become trapped at Wakulla Springs by the cool- ing waters of the gulf? Tirte and temperature will tell. The crimson leaves of the red maple trees, the candy-red of the holly berries, and the blush of red in the dogwood leaves herald the grandeur of fall along the river. Add to them the rusty red needles of the cypress, the purple majesty of the sweet gum, and the gold's of hickory and ash and the portrait nears completion. The detail in each leaf is not to be ignored either. Often a composite of many color tones, each is as unique as a fingerprint. Overlay it with brush strokes of ice crystals from an early morning frost, and discover grandeur on a less obvious scale.

Like Sapp. he said. he ha- prop- erty to give them. But Miller also noted that, of the 11 people at the meeting including school board members, district staff and visitors, only four of those .people were raised in Wakulla County. "Thinking about Broward's comments," said Evans, "it is going to. affect some of the lo- cal people." But, he added, the quality of the local schools is the number one reason for new residents to move to the county, and he said he felt it was unfair to current residents to make them pay for growth. That sentiment was echoed by school board member Ray. Gray, who said he also hoped his children would stay in Florida. One way or the other, whether in Wakulla or Leon or some other county, Gray said, they are going to have to pay impact fees. Gray added that if the board doesn't come up with ways to pay for future needs, it would stop growth anyway under the state's concurrency require- ments. S"What I don't want to do," Gray said, "is add (the costs) to the existing taxpayer." He and Chairman Greg Thomas argued against having a graduated implementation. "It should be all or none," Thomas said. "If we do anything less than 'all,' then we're under- funding and we're going to have to come up with the money from other sources, and if we do 'none' there's already all those platted lots out there. "We're going to wind up in a place where we can't pay for growth," Thomas warned. But the other board members Commissioners To Be Sworn Into Office New Wakulla County Commis- sioner George Green of District 2 and incumbent Howard Kessler of District 4 will officially begin their four-year terms Tuesday, Nov. 21, with a 6 p.m. swearing in ceremony in the county com- mission chambers.

The reception will include finger foods and punch. voted to go with a phase-in of the fees, with Scott supporting a scale starting at 60 percent on adoption a.nd inceasing.20. percent after a year and half and l the additional 20 percent after I three years. The motion was seconded by Becky Cook and supported by Evans, who called the impact fees "a tough pill to swallow, but I think graduating it makes it a little easier." Thomas and Gray voted against the motion. Assistant Superintendent Jimmie Dugger noted that the growth is already having an impact: he anticipates a need for three portables at Crawford-, ville Elementary School next year because that school, the newest one in the district, is over capacity, as is Riversprings Middle School. Miller noted that there's go- ing to have to be a new high school built before 2015 and that, he said, "is going to be an enormous cost."

But the 20-0 defeat concluded a highly successful 2006 campaign where Klees and his team finished 9-2 in his inaugural head coaching season at WHS. "The defense played well in spurts and the offense played well in spurts," he said. "But there were things we didn't do well. We had two turnovers and penalties in key situations." . Despite the disappointment War Eagle Soccer Starts With A Bang By JOHN REICH Of The Wakulla News With impressive victories this ast week over Florida High. 3-0. and District 2-4A opponent.God- y, 8-2, the War Eagles started the regular season on a positive note while also avenging two losses from last season. Shane Davis. Raleigh Clarke. Kyle Marks and Elliot Seidler contributed to the WHS defen- sive efforts while goalkeepers Matt Reich (three saves) and Da- vid Evans (two saves) earned the first ream shutout of the season versus Florida High. WHS dominated midfield play and possession in both matches outshooting their opponents by a combined 73 to 7 margin. The War Eagles opened a 2-0 lead on Florida High with a pair of Patrick Stewart assists Ryan Smith and Mason Alford con- verted the goal opportunities.. Nick Baxter scored the final goal on an assist by Alford. Wakulla was even more domi- nant against Godby. SA natural hat trick (three goals) by Pan ick Stewart land as- sist) combined with three assists And a goal from teammate Trevor Nason, paced the War Eagles' )coring barrage as Wakulla es- tablished possession early. \ Wakulla. hosts Panama City Bay oon Wednesday (varsity Kickoff, 7 p.m.) before traveling On Friday to Panama City Beach o face Arnold (varsity kickoff 8p.m.) in what should be two rough district matches.

JV Team Rallies ForTie Against Florida High : Coach Jasdn O'Neal's empha- sis on overall conditioning paid ff as his talented junior varsity 4occer.team came from behind in the second half to tie the visiting Florida High Seminoles' 2-2 in season opener for both teams Nov. 8. A With only five players six players moved up to varsity re- turning from last season. Coach O'Neal's roster of 2i is largely filled with 13 freshmen and the leadership of eight seasoned players. Upon receiving a pass from Joshua Smith, who had an assist. Wakulla's Liam Daniels ignited the home crowd during the 19th minute as he chipped the onrushing Seminole goalkeeper and placed the ball confidently into the back of the net to give the War Eagles a 1-0 lead. Florida High scored two unan- swered goals to take a 2-1 lead, but Wakulla's conditioning and stamina prevailed. Wakulla's Jacob Blume (assist) placed a perfect through ball into space for teammate Morgan Henry. From distance. Henry unleashed a bending cannon shot that sailed into the upper ninety of the goal and tied the match at two apiece during the 55th minute of play.' Coach O'Neal and his junior varsity team shall host Panama City Bay on Wednesday, Nov. 15. Kickoff is scheduled for 5 p.m. of the end of the campaign, Wakulla will be ready to make some noise again in 2007. The War Eagles return most of the offense except for Dion Bryant, Keith Chew and Josh Langston. The defense will take a few more losses in Darrion Wilson, Troy Walker, Travis Cronan and Kendell Webster. Quarterback Cory Eddinger played well in his first season as the starting quarterback, Darrion Wilson had another game with more than 10 tack- les. Wilson, Nigel Bradham and their defensive teammates had plenty of time to pick up tack- les. "They (Pine Forest) had the ball so much," said Klees. Pine Forest used two long touchdown runs in the third quarter to break open a 7-0 game; The Eagles improved to 11-0 on the season. The backfield may have even more of an Eddinger look to it next season as Klees said Casey Eddinger may find himself backing up brother Cory after playing at Riversprings Middle School. Several of the sopho- mores from the junior varsity will be on varsity. The JV team finished 2-6 in 2006. Xavier Blocker had an out- standing season running the ball. He returns to the backfield with Kendell Gavin and others. The offensive line loses only Langston and Chew, "We'll have lots of kids back," said Klees. "We're excited about it." District foe Godby will also have a lot of players back. East Gadsden returns much of the Jaguar team and should be good as well, said Klees. Panama City Bay lost a Divi- sion-I quarterback and other seniors. Rickards always has talented skill position players. Only Panama City Beach Arnold has struggled in the district. "If we had played (Pine For-,' est) 10 times this year, I think we would have won four times," said Klees. "It was disappoint' ing. But I'm happy for the kids. They had a good season. We didn't reach oui goal, going to the championship game and winning a state champion- ship. The way I look at it, we should be there. We had our chances." In the preseason, the Tal- lahassee media had Wakulla finishing 5-5 and finishing third in the district standings. But 2007 is another season. "We should be pretty good next year," Klees concluded. "It starts today" with workouts. Players must participate in the WHS weightlifting class to play football. Klees will coach the WHS weightlifting team again this year. The boys' weightlifting team competes in the spring; while the girls' team competes in the winter months; Gators TOp Bulldogs, Win Title The Gators defeated the Bull-, dogs in the Wakulla County Youth Tackle Football Associa- tion's annual Super Bowl last week.

The Auxilia- ry Team Coordination Training (TCT) course began Saturday at 9. a.m. and ran until late after- noon. Mark Rosen of Flotilla 12 (St Marks), acting in his capacity as TCT facilitator, presided over the class. This course is man- datory every five years for all Auxiliarists who are involved in operations. The turnout for the class was outstanding. There were five at- tending from Flotilla 12: Robert Asztalos, Chuck Hickman, Harry Stacey, Michelle Stewart, and Tom Ziko. Flotilla 13 had 20 members attending. They were Todd Acker, Judy Bentley, Aidan Brainard, Richie Calhoun, John Edrington, Yvette Graham, Wes Lee, Randy and Mimi Lewis, Mi- chael Longanecker, Jim McGill, Ron Pagel, Ron and Angret Pi- asecki, James and Edith Taylor, Joe Tillman, Mae Waters, Andy Woolington and your reporter. From Flotilla 15 at Apalachicola was John Probert, their new Flo- tilla Commander-elect. SUndoubtedly, Yvette Graham demonstrated the most dedica- tion to the Auxiliary and the greatest desire to learn more about this volunteer organiza- tion that she joined just a few months ago. Yvette was at her winter home in Lake City when she was notified of Saturday's class. Without any fuss or grum- bling, she got in her convert- ible and drove up Friday night. Saturday after the class, with a merry wave of her hand, she drove off and was home just be- fore it was really dark. She had wanted to stay for Flotilla 13's meeting that evening, but, as she explained it, she had to be home for church Sunday morn- ing as she sings in the choir. Yes, Yvette is quite the gall Flotilla 13's meeting was more or less routine. Ron Pias- ecki, our Flotilla Commander- Elect, will attend the Flotilla Commanders Academy in Pen- sacola this weekend. Details of our Christmas party at FSU Sta- dium Club on Thursday night, Dec. 14 were finalized.

That was the recommenda- tion given to Sopchoppy City Commissioners by Stidham and Associates, an environmental consulting firm, at the city's meeting on Monday, Nov. 13. The projected cost was esti- mated to be around $85,000 to pave over the contamination, which the study showed is also present on neighboring property where Sopchoppy Outfitters is located. City Commissioner Eddie Evans continued to express dismay over the railroad depot project, which started about 10 years ago with the idea of turning the only surviving de- pot on the Georgia, Florida & Alabama (G.F.&A.) rail line into a museum. Sopchoppy received a state grant to buy the building, pay for an architect to design the remodeling, and to pay for the work. Ultimately, the whole project derailed after lead was found in the soil around the building, and the city was told it was liable for the cost to clean up the contamination. All that oc- curred after assurances from the state and museum supporters that the project wouldn't cost the city any money. Evans has been sharply criti- cal of the delays and problems, and questioned at the meeting whether it wouldn't be better just to tear down the building and pave the land as a park- ing lot. But City Commissioner Rich- ard Harden said he supported preserving history, and that the history of Sopchoppy traces back to that depot. The city's boon times of a century ago were due to the railroad coming through, he said, and the city's fade was certain after the rail- road was taken over for Camp Gordon Johnston during World War II, and the tracks were pulled up after the war. "I feel like we've got a trea- sure on our hands," Harden. said, "even though it ain't much to look at right now." Evans answered that preserv- ing the town's history, "was why we stepped off into this to begin with."' But, he said, "you reach a certain point, you have --.' .. .c. ing Director Allen Harvey (center) and firefighter SJim Feltgen during a ceremony last week.

Tanning Beds& Products Senior Citizens, Federal Government Fuel Prices Assistance is Now On Nov. 8, the Florida Public Service Commission set the 2007 fuel adjustment charges for cus- tomers of Florida investor-owned electric utilities, including Prog- ress Energy Florida, Inc. The fuel adjustment charges were decided at a hearing where the commission considered each utility's projected costs of fuel and purchased power for 2007 as well as truedd up" costs for 2005 and 2006. The fuel charge appears on customer bills separate from oth- er charges. Utilities are allowed to recover only the prudent costs of procuring fuel and purchased power necessary to meet cus- tomer demand. The utilities are not allowed to make a profit on fuel purchases. The residential fuel charge of Progress Energy will be 4.798 cents per kwh for the first 1,000 kwh and 5.798 cents per kwh for all additional usage. Based on the new fuel charges, the total monthly electrical bill for resi- dential customers using 1,000 Skwh will be $110.34. Available Senior citizens who are at least 62 years old and own a home, can now borrow against the equity in their home, utilizing the money for just about any- thing, without ever having to repay the debt. They can continue living in the home for the rest of their lives without the burden of mak- ing monthly payments. This is now possible thanks to a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage crea- ted by the Federal Govern- ment's Department of Hous- ing and Urban Develop- ment, also know as HUD. This money.can be used to: 1. Payoff an existing mort- gage 2. Pay for medical expenses 3. Supplement income 4. Supplement savings 5. Make repairs to the home 6. Provide financial assis- tanceto family members 7. Establish a line ofcredit that can be used if needed in the future 8. Vacation and travel There is never a risk of losing their home and they are free to sell or refinance the home, without penalty, at any time. All money received is tax free and has no effect on Social Security or retirement income.

Mayor Robert Greener noted that the fate of the building wasn't before commissioners to decide at that moment, rather just accepting the consultants' report. The report'showing the delineation of the lead plume is to be submitted to the state Department of Environmental Protection and then, after it is approved by the agency, the consultants will submit a reme- dial action plan. The city is still months away from actually seeking bids to deal with the contamination at the site. Garden Club To Meet The Iris Garden Club will meet at the Wakulla County Public Library at 1 p.m..

Note to our readers: The people who are reported as charged with crimes in this column have not yet been to trial and are therefore innocent until proven guilty. On Wednesday, Nov. 8, at about 1 p.m., the Wakulla Station Volunteer Fire Rescue Depart- ment (VFRD) was dispatched to a mobile home fire on Cooper- wood Road. The Crawfordville and St. Marks departments were also dispatched to assist the Wakulla Station firefighters. Fire Chief Al Shylkofski advised that, on ar- rival, the mobile home was full engulfed and, as a result, was a total loss. The residents were not at home at the time of the fire; however, there were two dogs and a cat inside. Unfortunately, the pets did not survive. On Friday, Nov. 10, at 4 p.m., the St. Marks VFRD was dis- patched to a double-wide mo- bile home. The Wakulla Station and Crawfordville departments were dispatched to assist the St. Marks firefighters. St. Marks arrived on scene first and attacked the fire, limit- ing its spread to the kitchenrand living room areas of the home. Although fire was contained in those two rooms, smoke, heat and water damage to the struc- ture was extensive. * chimney. Maintain a screen con- structed of non-flammable ma- terial over the flue opening on every chimney or stovepipe. Mesh openings of the screen should not exceed one half inch. Landscape vegetation should be spaced so that fire cannot be carried to the struc- ture or surrounding vegeta- tion. Remove branches from trees to a height of 15 feet. A fuel break should be maintained around all struc- tures. Dispose of stove or fire- place ashes and charcoal bri- quettes only after soaking them in a metal pail of water. Store gasoline in an ap- proved can away from occupied buildings. Propane tanks should be far enough away from buildings to allow valves to be shut off in case of fire. Have fire tools handy - a water hose, a ladder long enough to reach the roof, a shovel, a rake, and a bucket for water. There are nine volunteer fire rescue departments in Wakulla County and none has enough volunteer firefighters. Regard- less of where you live in the county, you are in a fire district that needs your help. The volunteer fire rescue de- partments need individuals who are able and willing to be volun- teer firefighters and individuals who do not choose to be active firefighters, but are willing to assist the local fire departments with non-firefighting duties such as equipment and build- ing maintenance, fund-raising, office/clerical work, computer data entry, or a variety of other day-to-day functions needed to keep a fire department opera- tional and effective.

A Crawfordville man was found guilty of misdemeanor DUI in a jury trial on Tuesday, Nov. 14. Michael Warner was sen- tenced to 30 days in jail by Judge Walker, who presided over the trial. Chad Stevens, the public de- fender who represented Warner, argued that Warner was forced to leave a Crawfordville home when, a. party turned into a brawl; Warner's girlfriend and another woman reportedly got into a fight after Warner's girlfriend was allegedly found in bed with the other woman's husband. The 911 call of the drunken woman threatening to shoot the people in her house was played for jurors. COUNTY BRIEFS Water Quality Is Better Water quality at Shell Point Beach and Mash Island Park Beach has improved enough for :Florida Department of Health Officials to lift swimming advi- sories. The lifting of the adviso- ries will only have an effect on ;"polar bear" swimmers since it 'comes close to the beginning of the holiday season. The Nov. 6 sampling at Mash island Park Beach is only the ,second time since Sept. 5 that an advisory was not issued, All ,of the bacteria readings came ,back in the "good" range, ac- cording to the DOH, ' Twenty water samples were ,taken at the Ochlockonee Bay :beach since June 26, and 12 ,advisories were issued. At Shell Point Beach, water samples have resulted in similar advisory numbers, according to the DOH. No warning was issued after the Nov. 6 sample was taken. Light P and Z Slate The first Wakulla County Planning and Zoning (P and Z) meeting for Interim Com-. munity Development Director Melissa Corbett proved to be a short one. Corbett and P and Z members convened for approximately 10 minutes to consider one item. Earlier this year, P and Z agen- das included anywhere from 10 to 20 items. The item up for consider- ation on Monday, Nov. 13, was a rezoning request from Michael R. Hoover, Inc. and agent Jen- nifer Carter. Hoover requested a zoning change from RR-1 residential to I-1 light industrial. The ap- plicant is planning to locate his construction business office on 1.15 acres on Port Leon Drive north of the Villages of St. Marks subdivision. There were no objections. The Hoover re- quest will be sent to the county commission for final approval on Monday, Dec. 4. A preliminary plat request from Levy Bay Development and PanFla Development was continued. The multi-family residential subdivision is lo- cated on U.S. Highway 98 near the Tarpine subdivision in Och- lockonee Bay. The project will be known as the Natures View Condos at Levy Bay. The prelimi- nary plat is not scheduled to go to the county commission.

This has to do v.ith low- Sering your out of pocket costs by minimizing the amount of "pre- [ paid interest" you pay on your .mortgage at closing. Interest on your mortgage begins running t from the date your transaction closes, but most loans are due on the first day of the month. So when you close, you "pre-pay" the interest between the closing date and the end of the month. Susan Council For example, if you close on the November 29th, you pre- pay one day of interest to cover the rest of November's interest. Your first payment will be due January 1st, when you will actu- ally be paying December's inter- est. If you close on the 6th of December, you prepay 25 days of interest. This means you have to bring in more cash to close your real estate purchase than would have been required by closing just eight days earlier. In reality, the benefits of a late month closing are only, short-term. The major benefit is that it just takes less cash "out of pocket" to close near the end of the month.

Page 22-THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Nov. 16, 2006 More Than One Way To Trap An Armadillo By MARJ LAW Of KeepWakulla County Beautiful The backyard grass was cov- ered with holes. Most had a pile of dirt beside them. Every morning, more and more holes dotted the grass. After a lot of hard work to make a smooth lawn, the back- yard looked awful. What does one do? I spoke to a person who dealt with landscaping yards. "What do you do about getting rid of an armadillo?" I asked. "You shoot him," he re- plied. "OK, so what do I do about getting rid of an armadillo?" I persisted. "You shoot him," he said again, snickering. I called a person in Craw- fordville who I thought should know the answer. His answer was: you get a 4-inch round PVC pipe and hammer it into the varmint's hole. The 'dillo will get his snoot stuck in the pipe. Then, you yank the pipe out of the hole with squirming Mdillo legs hanging out. You dump pipe and 'dillo into your back seat and drive for a good distance. You stop, get rid of the critter and drive on home. "How do you get him out of the pipe?" I asked. Whoops of laughter came from the other end. I then spoke to a more, um, mature person. S"How do you get rid of an armadillo?" I asked again. "You have to cross a body of Water," he replied. "If you don't *ross a stream or a river, the crit- ter will just come back." "How do you encourage him to cross the water?" I asked. He was laughing so hard, I hung up in his ear.. When I tried for the fourth, count 'em, fourth time, the an- swer was: "You shoot himl" Well, that put me right back where I started. About then, I got to know Phil and Scarlett Patterson. They live in a home by a marsh where lots of critters live. Phil told me about his en- counter with an amaryllis and the 'dillo. His armadillo had the nerve to dig up Phil's prize amaryllis bulb and knock it root side up to the sun. Phil got rid of his problem. "I'll help you get rid of your armadillo," Phil offered. Well, that is exactly what I wanted to hear So, Phil came over with his trap. We had located a bur- row that looked well traveled. Phil put the trap right up to it, pounding lattice around so Mr. Ugly couldn't squeeze around it. Phil told me that armadillos come out at night, and that we might nab him by the morn- ing. Scarlett told me there are 700,000 armadillos in Florida alone. "Well, that's 700,000 too many for me!" I replied. At 5:30 a.m., I'm awake and all excited. Did we catch him? I pull my jeans on over my jammies, grab a flashlight, and tiptoe over to the trap. No Mr. Ugly. That was so disappointing. I waited for a few hours and called Phil. "Did we get him?" he asked. When I told him "no," he told me not to worry, that it took patience. We looked around and found another burrow. Phil took weights and pushed them against the trap so Mr. Ugly would have a hard time squeez- ing by. I knew it was this time for sure. At 6 a.m., I grabbed the flashlight again. No luck. I felt bad, calling Phil, since he had tried so hard to help. "No luck!" I told him. "Well, we're going to try this a differ- ent way!" he said, and moved the trap to the open grass near lots of rooting areas. He placed lattice in a V-shape to lure the 'dillo in. It wasn't near the hole, but it was the way he had caught his own armadillos. The next morning, I was ready. Got my jeans, got my flashlight and hurried out the door. No signs of a 'dillo. Except, that is, for even more holes in the ground. I called Phil to give him the bad news: "Don't worry about it!" he reassured me. "We'll catch him! It just takes patience." Around 8 a.m., I decided to check one more time. It was light by now. What do you know, but there was a mound in the trap! On it's side "Yikesi" I yelled, and dashed back into the house. Ohmy- goshl Was it dead? Had I not seen it the day before? Had it died waiting for someone to notice him? I tiptoed back out to the trap. Now he is upright, beady eyes glaring at me. He is so ugly. Gross. Nasty critter, grass digger. I called Phil back. "We got him!!" I said loudly. "We got him!" Phil was cool. He knew it was just a matter of time. "Why don't you take a photo," he asked. So I met Phil by the trap. We took a photo and Phil took the armadillo. Remember, there are still 700,000 armadillos in Florida. Some might live a little too close to you. If you have the need, the Great Armadillo Trapper is Phil Patterson. For $50, he'll trap your Mr. Ugly and take him away 556-8153. And don't lis- ten to the man who talks about a 4-inrih PVC pipe.
