City Backs Off Tax Increase

Residents Will Pay

Higher Sewer Rates

LAZARO ALEMAN
Senior Staff Writer

City residents will get a break on
their property taxes after all. In re-
turn, they will pay $3 more ,on their
monthly sewer rates inside the city
and $4.50 more outside the city.
The monthly sewer rate increase is
expected to produce about $35,000
during a nine-month period.
The $35,000 -- combined with
various cutbacks the council made
in expenditures -- erased the
$62,417 budget shortfall the city
was facing and actually left a sur-
plus of some $30,000.
Among the things that officials de-
cided to cut were the proposed
$5,000 salary increase for council
members, a $1,000 septic tank
abatement for the Cooper's Pond
Subdivision, and $5,000 in mainte-
nance and repair funds for the water
division.
City employees will still get a 3.5
percent pay increase -and private or-
ganizations such as the Main Street
Program and the Economic Devel-
opment Council will get a combined
$15,000 in contributions.

For city residents, the good news
is that the finance committee will
recommend a 7.0 millage rate, half a
point above the 6.5 rollback rate but
a full point below the 8.0 originally
proposed.
The 7.0 mills is expected to pro-
duce $491,700. The current rate of
7.5 mills would have produced
$526,000 if left intact.
Tuesday's finance committee
budget workshop began with former
council member Lynn Jordan asking
that the council reconsider the pro-
posed 8.0 mills and suggesting ideas
for how the budget could be bal-
anced.
For starters, Jordan objected to
the proposed salary increase for
council members.
"The job should be about commu-
nity service, not salary," Jordan
said, a sentiment echoed by Coun-
cilman Tom Vogelgesang and
Mayorwvide Conley.
Jordan proceeded down the
budget item by item, identifying ar-
eas where he thought cutbacks could
be accomplished. Adding up his
suggested cutbacks, Jordan came up
with a savings of about $33,000.
But the real solution, he said, was
to increase the sewer rates, given

that the $62,417 shortfall resulted
'from that account.
"I recommend you raise sewer
rates $2 or $3 a month," Jordan said. .

"It would get your revenues and
costs on sewer into balance."
The sewer and water operations
are what are called proprietary or

member, addresses the City Council on

Jordan offered many suggestions, several of

generate sufficient money to pay for

Jordan's recommendations that the city go

not doing at present.
Jordan also asked the council to
reconsider the proposed 3.5 percent
pay increase for city employees. Al-
though the 3.5 percent didn't give
him "heartburn", he reminded the
council of "the compounding effect"
of the increase if they went forward
with this.
He also expressed concerns about
the law enforcement budget, which
he noted has grown to $600,000,
much of it tied in communications
equipment.
"We need to skin this cat
cheaper," Jordan said.
Finally, he suggested that the
council consider a charter review to
revisit such issues as the election of
the city clerk and the police chief. It
was his opinion, Jordan said, that
the council should consider a city
manager type of operation.
"I know when I was on the
council, I never really knew who
was in charge and it was hard to pin
things down," Jordan said.
He added that his input was of-
fered as constructive criticism.
"I'm not trying to throw darts
here,' he said. -.
Council members incorporated
certain of Jordan's suggestions into
their cutback decisions. But where
they really picked up on Jordan's
suggestion was in the increase of

City's internet

Runs Into Snaac

LAZARO ALEMAN
Senior Staff Writer

"Where are we on the Internet?"
That was the question City Coun-
cilman Brian Hayes posed to city
staff Tuesday night.
A little more than a month ago,
the City Council adopted a domain
name for the system
(MyMonticello.net), adopted the
monthly subscription rates and de-
posit amount, and okayed the pur-
chase and installation of the
equipment a cost of $227,644,43.
The word then was that the sys-
tem should be up and running
within a matter of weeks, if not
sooner.
Now it appears that not all was
exactly as represented.
"Here's the problem," was City
Superintendent Don Anderson's re-

sponse to Hayes' question on Tues
day evening. "Out of 120 peoph
who want the service, only 30 car
_ get it without putting up an antenna,
300 feet in the air."
Anderson said he and others in
volved in the project were in th(
process of documenting the place!
where a signal could be gotten anc
the places where it couldn't.
"We're going to have to get
meeting with Graybar," Andersor
said. "They're going to have to coin
back and do something different. It'!
very isolated who can get a signa
and who can't."
Graybar is Graybar Electric Comn
pany, which sold and installed th<
system for the city.
"It sounds like material misrepre.
sentation," Hayes said. "We wen
certainly not told this. This is verq
disconcerting."

Commissioners Come Up With

Program To Cure Dog Problem

LAZARO ALEMAN
Senior Staff Writer

Commissioners last week reached
accord on the implementation of an
animal control program that they ex-
pect to approve Sept. 1.
The agreement followed the sec-
ond of two workshops that commis-
sioners held with citizen groups
concerned about the problem. Bul
the solution,was one that commis-
signers -- more specifically Chair-
man Skeet Joyner -- had been work-
ing out between the workshops.
That solution calls for concentra-
tion of the county's efforts and re-
sources solely on dangerous animals
for the present. Commissioners de-
fine dangerous animals as those that
attack or threaten persons, livestock
or other domesticated animals.
"I don't know that we have to wait
until an animal bites someone if he's
chasing someone aggressively,-
Joyner said.
As in the past, the mechanism for
e initiating the handling of a danger-
1 ous animal will be a complaint. The
a responding deputy will then deter-
mine if the animal is indeed danger-
- ous.
e If the deputy determines that the
s animal is dangerous, he can cite the
owner or have the dog picked up or
both. An employee with the Solid
a Waste Department who has been
1 certified in animal control will then
e pick up the animal and transport it
s to the appropriate shelter.
1 The idea is for the county to con-
tract with local veterinarians, who
- will hold the animal for the required
e number of days and euthanasize it if
necessary.
The cost of holding and euthaniz-
e ing the animals is expected to run
Y about, $50 per animal. In cases
--where the owner is identified, the
owner will be responsible for all ex-

Focus To Be
Solely On
Dangerous
Animals
pfnses.
It's expected that it will cost be-
tween $1,000 and $1,700 per person
to get individuals certified in animal
control. The county has budgeted
$5,000 for both the holding and
euthanizing of the animals and the
appropriate training of the county
employees.
Joyner called the proposed solu-
tion a first step.
"The day will come when this
won't work," he said. "One day we
will need a full-fledge animal con-
trol program. But this will certainly
get us started."

What's more, he said, the program
will work' without need of the
county adopting animal licensing
fees, which most commissioners are
reluctant to implement.
"It's the consensus on the board
that licensing fees are the proper
way to go to generate funds," Joyner
said. "But it's also the consensus of
the board to try and take care of the
problem without additional fees. I
know fees are coming one day, but
let's try to postpone the day when
we have to put extra fees on
people."
Joyner thanked Wendy Moss and
the Responsible Pet Owners of Jef-
ferson County for getting the ball
rolling on animal control and doing
the necessary research to make the
commissioners jobs easier.
"Without you, we wouldn't have
gotten here," Joyner said.
Prior to commissioners arriving at

Moss's proposal called for licens-

people who neutered their animals),,
the issuance of citations to raise
revenues, the training of the appro-
priate county personnel in animal
control, and the formation of
public/private partnerships to ease
the county's burden .
If also called for consolidation of
the animal control programs be-
tween the city and the county, so
that neither would be overburdened;
and for formation of an advisory
board to help the commission with
the implementation and refinement
of the program.
It was Moss's contention that the
animal control problem here was not
so bad that it warranted the creation
of a separate department, as some
had advocated.

City Backs Off Tax Raise

sewer rates.
The suggestion wasn't exactly new
to the council. The city's consultant
engineer, in fact, has been working
on a required study that is supposed
to set the foundation for just such a
rate increase, among other things.
The consensus Tuesday evening
was that the council could no longer
afford to wait for the completion of
the study, which some believe has
been taking inordinately long.
It was in this spirit that Council-
man Brian Hayes offered the sug-
gestion of a sewer rate increase via
the adoption of an emergency ordi-
nance that would automatically ex-
pire in a year's time.
That way, Hayes reasoned, the
city could begin collecting revenues
immediately. In the meantime, the
required study would hopefully be
completed and the city could then
impose a more permanent and thor-
ough rate increase.
More and more too, city officials
are talking of imposing a system's
charge -- a euphemism for an impact
fee. This would apply to new con-
struction and would be in addition to
the tap-in fee to connect into the
sewer system.
"It would be easy to justify be-
cause each time a new customer ties
on to .the system, it reduces the ca-
pacity of our treatment plant," Con-
ley said. "That's something that can
be quantified."
Officials also talked of setting up
workshops after the budget is com-

pleted to better plan the city's future
needs.
They also talked of putting
$10,000 of the expected $30,000
surplus into a special account for
land-use planning matters and the
remaining $20,000 in a reserve
fund.

Help with

SBY MARK MCCLELLAN
:MD, Ph.D. Administrator
SCenters for Medicare & Medicaid Services

If you or someone you care about-
has Medicare, it's time to start
*thinking about Medicare's new pre-
,scription drug coverage.
The new coverage can provide
'real savings with the costs of both
,brand name and generic drugs for
^every person with Medicare starting
I January 1, 2006.
* A typical person with Medicare
,.who has no drug coverage could see
'his or her total drug spending drop
by about 50 percent.
: And there is extra help paying for
:the new drug coverage for people
with limited income and resources,
so they will have almost no drug ex-
penses (extra help rules are different
.in Puerto Rico and other U.S,. Terri-
tories).- .
Every person with Medicare,
whether they have drug coverage
now or not, will have a choice of
Medicare prescription drug plans
starting in November.
Almost a third of all people with
Medicare have limited income and
resources, so they.could qualify for
extra help.
When they join a Medicare pre-
scription drug plan, they' will receive
continuous coverage of their drug.
costs and pay very little out, of their
pockets.
From the end of May through
August, millions of households with

Provides

i Drugs
limited income will receive an appli-
cation in the mail for the extra help
from Social Security.
If you receive this application, you
should fill it out and return it.
If you do not receive an applica-
tion in the mail, you can request one
by calling Social Security at 1-800-
772-1213. You can also'apply for
extra help online at
www.socialsecurity.gov.
Even for people who aren't eligi-
ble for extra help, a Medicare pre-
scription drug plan can still help
save money on drug costs, and can
provide peace of mind by insuring
against higher drug costs in the fu-
ture.
Starting November 15, everyone
with Medicare can choose a Medi-
care prescription drug plan. Plans
are different, so people will need to
compare available plans in their area
beginning in October to1 pick one-
that meets their needs.
To get more information on the
new Medicare prescription drug
coverage, people should visit
www.medicare.gov, or call 1-800-
MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), or
get free personal counseling from
their State Health Insurance Assis-
tance Program.
In addition, organizations such as
the Access to Benefits Coalition
(ABC) are committed to make sure
that everyone who qualifies will
take advantage of the extra 'help
paying for Medicare's new prescrip-
tion drug coverage.

BY REX M. ROGERS

' I've never been entirely comfort--
able with what might be called
"Pepsi/Coke Taste Tests" comparing
public and Christian universities.
; It's not that I don't believe there
are differences. It's just that I do not
Want to be perceived as attacking
entire institutions of higher learning,
As if there are no honest, hard work-

So, I'll go the other way and say
that public universities are unques-
tionably'the home of many fine pro-
fessional 'people and many good
products, including the two univer-
sities from which I earned graduate
degrees.
But, there are important differ-
ences in public and Christian univer-
sities. Though many public
institutions have religious roots and
history, today, by far, most no
longer make any pretense of being
religious in any way.
In the name of the search for truth,
most public colleges and universi-
ties adopt what is called a "tolerant"
attitude toward virtually any and all
philosophies or religions, with the
possible exception of biblical Chris-

tianity..
Some public university, professors
are open to considering the claims
-of Christianity in course work; and
debate, but many public institution
professors adopt' a suspicious even
preemptive bias against Christian
expression in any forum.
This is one reason why America
needs Christian colleges and univer-
sities. In these halls' professors and
students may still explore the truth
claims of Christian faith.
They may still apply Christian val-
ues to contemporary issues, search
for truth based upon Christian pre-
suppositions, and give full reign to
their own Christian spirituality.
While some of these things may
yet be possible in some public uni-
versities, it is not an exaggeration to
say that such openly Christian schol-
arship is often viewed as little more
than superstition.
Christian universities, therefore,
make, a. critical contribution to the
marketplace of ideas. Public univer-
sities may be admirable. But Chris-
tian universities are essential.

Recent findings show a big dispar-
ity between the number of steps
,counted by some pedometers and
the amount walkers actually take.
Some count every step twice while
others miss steps entirely. Pedome-
ters are especially inaccurate when
the wearers walk slowly.

Being grateful is good for your

more optimistic and that seems to

more likely to eat well, exercise

If all work and no play indeed
makes Jack a dull boy, then you
could say, Americans as a whole are
becoming dangerously dull. A re-
cent study shows Americans hand
back an estimated 415 million vaca-
tion days per year and that 30 per-
cent of employed adults forfeit
vacation time every year.
In fact, in one recent year, workers
handed back to their employers an
estimated $21 billion in unused va-'
cation time.
Library ribbon cutting is set for

me so many calls came into the li-'

That is really wonderful because
our library has come a long way
over recent years and more and
more of us depend on it.

Take Pets On Road With Care

America's vacation season is in
full swing and many of dogs and
cats are joining their owners for
family vacations and weekend geta-
ways. Although summer heat and
driving can be a dangerous combi-
nation for household pets, they don't
have to be if drivers take some sim-
ple precautions.
.Mory Katz, Chairman & CEO of
the Response Insurance Group, of-
fered drivers a few pieces of advice
from the car insurance company's
"Driving with Your Pet" brochure.
"There are more than 120 million,
household dogs and cats in the na--

tion," said Katz. "They're members
of the family and when we take a
driving vacation, they are often
along for the ride. Unfortunately,
many of them don't travel well or
are not prepared for long trips."
Katz suggests several ways to pre-
pare your pet for a safe driving ex-
perience.

If the pet is not used to car trips,
try a few test runs to help acclimate
them for the ride. Spending time in
the car while parked and short
drives to nearby destinations are an
-easy start.

Cats should be kept in a carrier
and dogs should be held in a re-
straining harness. This will help sta-
bilize your pet if there is a sudden
movement or accident.
Feed your pet a little less than
you would normally. Since too
much water can upset their stomachs
on the road, limit water by provid-
ing ice to chew on. And, don't for-
get to pack some toys and any other
favorite items or bedding.
When traveling to places your
pet is not familiar with it's particu-
larly important to have a collar with

ID tag that includes both your per-
manent and vacation addresses and
phone numbers. Many veterinarians
-and animal welfare organizations
also offer microchip identification
implants.
Dogs like to stick their heads out
of the car window, but this is very
unsafe. Small stones and debris be-
come dangerous projectiles at high-
way speeds.
Never leave your pet in a car in
warm or hot weather. Even with
windows open, or parked in the
shade, interior temperatures can
quickly rise to lethal levels.

Each Child Learns Differently

Many parents focus on what their
child learns in school, but it is also
important for them to understand
how their child leams.
Children have different styles of
learning that are linked to one or
more of their senses. Generally
speaking, learners can be placed in
one of four groups:
The Visual Learner learns best
when she is "shown" how to do
something. She thrives on written
directions.
The Auditory Learner retains
more information from what he
hears than reads.
The Kinesthetic Learner ex-
presses herself through movement
and often has trouble sitting still.
The Tactile Learner needs to feel
and manipulate objects and needs
hands-on' experience in order to
learn best.
"It is important to realize that suc-
cessful learning happens when we
make a connection between what we

are attempting to learn and our
learning style," says' Dr. Andrea
Pastorok of Kumon Math and Read-
ing Centers.
"When the connection is made,
learning is easy. When it isn't, diffi-
culty follows and students have
trouble paying attention, completing
assignments or taking tests." If you
-know your child's strongest learning
style, share this information with his
or her teacher.
To help your children make their
learning style work for them, use an
approach that taps into their pre-
ferred style. For example, if your
child is having trouble preparing for
a spelling test, the following tips
might help:
A visual learner can write and re-
write the spelling list so she can see
how the letters look when they come
together on the page.
An auditory learner can make an
audio recording of himself spelling
out the words on the list so he can

replay them and spell along with the
tape.
A kinesthetic learner can use her
body to form the letters, can put the
words on objects or can recite the
spelling of words while jumping
rope.
A tactile learner can use magnetic
letters to spell out the words on his
refrigerator or form the letters in
clay or sand.
Although most students use a
blend of learning styles, they usually
rely more heavily on one particular
style.
Sometimes, what may look like a

learning disability may really be a
learning difference especially if
there is a "mismatch" between what
students know and how they demon-
strate it.
If their preferred learning style
does not match with the testing of
their knowledge, they may not per-
form well in school.
When both children and parents
understand what learning style
works best seeing, listening, mov-
ing, doing or touching they can use
those strengths to learn, store and re-
trieve information needed to suc-
ceed in school.

Writer Urges Citzens To Speak

Out Against Comp Amendments

Dear Editor:
The citizens of Jefferson County
should be alarmed about proposed
amendments to the County Compre-
hensive Plan currently pending be-
fore the County Planning
Commission.
These amendment requests, if ap-
proved, will allow the construction
of large subdivisions with one home
per acre, rather than the current
standard of one home per five acres.
For example, one proposed subdi-
vision could allow approximately
1 350 homes on 377 acres of land.
SIf you want to preserve the beauty
and tranquility of the county, you
must stand up now and contact your
County Commissioner to oppose the
amendment requests.
If we don't, our homes may one
day be surrounded by huge subdivi-
sions:
Once this gate is opened, it won't
be closed, cases in point: Tallahas-
see (Leon County) and Wakulla
County.
Leon County's population in-
creased by 200,000 people since the
1960's.
Did you know that many realtors
in Tallahassee call Jefferson County
"the next Wakulla County?"
Did you know that the population
of Wakulla county increased by 60
percent from 1990 to 2000? Is that
what we want for our county?
We all know that growth will oc-
cur, but let's keep it within reason,
by urging our County Commission-
ers to reject these proposed changes
to our Comprehensive Plan.
If you want to maintain our cur-
rent Comprehensive Plan, contact
the commissioner who represents
you.
These are: Districts 1. Junior
Tuten at 997-2387; 2. Jerry Sutphin
at 997-3162; 3. Gene Hall at 997-
2360; 4. Danny Monroe at
997-5406; and 5 Skeet Joyner at
997-1133 ,. ...

First Baptist Youth Share

Camp Experiences At Service

DEBBIE SNAPP
Staff Writer
, Six youth of the Monticello First
'Baptist Church spoke about their ex-
periences on the recent trip to Quest
Youth Camp, in Chattanooga, TN.
. Destin DuBose, minister of music
and education relates that the camp
.provides youth, from all over, an
opportunity to unite in praise,
prayer, and worship.
Cody Vowell spoke about the
camp staff and Worship leaders, and
provided insight about themselves
and how they became the individu-
als they are today.
Stephanie Fountain and Christina
Young gave testimony about the
Quest Groups and Church Group
Time, during which groups shared

information about what was going
on in their church lives.
Rebekah Aman gave her testimo-
nial on Team Challenges and Rec-
reation. She reminisced about the
teams participating in the rope
courses, balancing on teeter totters
without touching the ground, and
the white water rafting trip, and "All
the falling out we did.
"It was pretty cool and we learned
a lot about ourselves and each
other," she said, "and how to work
together, as a team."
Marsha Bates spoke on Spiritual
Growth and Group Growth. "We
learned to listen and to live Chris-
tian lives. We learned more about
Jesus.
"We also got a lesson on how to-
have patience when following Des-

tin through Atlanta traffic," she gig-
gled.
DuBose continued the program
with a slide presentation showing
the youth and their chaperones dur-
ing the week of QuestCamp 2005.
The pictures included the teens
participating in group activities.
Each church group was asked to
perform a chant about their particu-
lar church in front of the other
church group campers.
Together the youth began the Eve-
ning Service singing "Louder than
the Angels" and songs learned at the
Camp.
Later Aman and Vowell performed
a moving rendition with a piano and
guitar duet of "I Surrender All."
The group looked forward to
practicing what they learned.

Johnny L. Morgan III, deceased, as
a college fund.
The tournament and barbecue
will be held at 130 Fred T. Road in

annual King of the Hill Horseshoe

variety of covered dish items.
The meal is free but donations are
welcome and encouraged for non

Morgan, who passed away earlier
this year:
He left behind a wife, two daugh-
ters, two sons and two grandsons
and he enjoyed a wide range of
sports including hunting, fishing
and truly enjoyed the competition
associated with local horseshoe
tournaments.
The tournament is hosted in his
memory and the public is invited to
come out, enjoy some horseshoes
and great food and have a good
time during this worthwhile cause.

Norma Shotwell New Writing

Coach At Jefferson Elementary

FRAN HUNT
Staff Writer

Norma Shotwell joins the staff-
of Jefferson Elementary School, as
a writing coach.
She brings with her 30 years of
combined educational experience,
as a teacher and administrator.
She has taught students in K-5,
first, third, fourth, seventh and
eighth grades and when she retired,
she served as the Assistant Princi-
pal in Wakulla Elementary in Me-
dart.
She was drawn to the Jefferson
County area when she decided to
return to teaching because she grew
up in Tallahassee and she and her
husband own land in Leon County
right on the Jefferson/Leon County
line.
"I taught a writing workshop here
a couple of years ago and I love the
family atmosphere at Jefferson,"
said Shotwell. "It's in close prox-
imity to my home, so when I de-.
cided I wanted to go back into
teaching, I came here."
She attended Florida State Uni-
versity where she earned her
Bachelor's Degree in Elementary
Education and her Masters in Edu-
cational Leadership.

Anderson agreed.
"It's got to be resolved and it will
be," he said. "But it may take an--
iother six weeks."
Someone suggested that the com-
mittee responsible for the research
and promotion of the system should
look into the matter.
It would be, assured Councilman
.Tom Vogelgesang, a member of the
committee.
He added that Anderson's report
"is news to me."
The goal of the system is to at-
tract a maximum of 240 customers,
the magic number that is calculated
to make the system economically
,feasible and self-sustaining.

SHOTWELL
Shotwell became a teacher, be-
cause she loved working with chil-
dren and she loved to read. "I
wanted to instill the love of reading
in them," she added.
"As time went by arind I decided.
to return to teaching, I developed a
love for writing, so that's why I
went into writing," said Shotwell.
Shotwell teaches all grades,
mainly fourth grade. "I work with
the whole school and I work with
teachers to help them improve their
students' writing ability," she said.
Shotwell considers the most chal-

Into Snag
Proponents say the system will be
able to provide users with faster
and cheaper Internet service than
they are presently receiving.
Conceivably, the system eventu-
ally will be incorporated into a city-
wide network that will be able to
monitor pump stations and other
equipment and enhance law enforce-
ment officers' capabilities, among
other things.
It's estimated that if the system'at-
tracted 30 percent of the available
local customers, the city could eas-
ily reap upwards of $45,000
monthly.
Meanwhile, the city pays the tele-
phone company $2,060 monthly for
the Internet connection.

FRAN HUNT
Staff Writer
County Recycling Center Di-
rector, Beth Thorne, and staff Sam
Flowers, John Peck and Walter
Ghee, participated in the recent
Wakulla County Household Haz-
ardous Waste Collection Day.
Spokesman George Dziedzic said
that the special collection day was
prompted by the large amounts of
damage caused by Hurricane Den-
nis.
The flooding caused by the hurri-
cane resulted in a large amount of
household hazardous waste prod-
ucts to be dispose of, such as: com-
puters, electronics, florescent
bulbs, cleaners, paint, pesticides,
spray cans, batteries and household
cleaners.
Approximately 163 are residents
dropped items rounded up in the
cleanup after the storm.
The service was coordinated by
the Wakulla County Solid Waste
Department, Wakulla County Com-
missioners and Administrator, The
Jefferson County Solid Waste De-
partment, Keep Wakulla County
Beautiful, and the Wakulla County
Sheriff's Office.
Tom Keister, Leon County Haz-
ardous Waste Manager, and Chem-
ist Rosemary Bottcher of Leon
County, were on hand to examine
and classify the hazardous materi-
als.
Keep Wakulla County Beautiful
staff, Marj Law, and George
Dziedzic coordinated the line of in-
coming vehicles as they arrived.
Jefferson County personnel in-
structed volunteers, who were off
loading and sorting the hazardous
materials, how to keep a smooth
flow in the process.
Some of the hazardous items in-
cluded a bottle of mercury, a canis-
ter of cyanide powder and a con-
tainer of black gun powder.
Keister remarked that cyanide

preserve their specimens, and that
the explosive black gun powder
was likely used in a muzzle-loading
type weapon.
Dziedzic said that neither Keister
nor Bottcher, could explain a
household use for the deadly liquid
mercury, which is normally con-
fined to lab use.
Two work site dumpsters of paint
and thinners, three pallets of
stacked batteries, gallons of fouled
gas and oils, and a semitrailer of

electronics, computers and fluores-
cent bulbs were taken away for safe
disposal.

"Wakulla County residents should
be applauded for taking the time
and energies to dispose of these
household hazardous waste items
properly," said Dziedzic. "And a
big thank you to Jefferson County
Solid Waste Manager Beth Thorne
for organizing the Jefferson County
manpower and equipment that
made this event a success."

said Martin, "and we work together
extremely well."
Her nomination was unanimously
