Three local environmental
activists have set their sights on
reactivating the dormant Ta) lor
Soil & Water Conservation District
(TSWCD) and have secured three
of the five board seats which ha' e
been open since 2002.
Joy Towles Ezell, Diane
Whitfield and William "Rick"
Causey all registered with
Supervisor of Elections Moll) H.

30 minutes remaining before the
noon deadline.
A fourth candidate for the board.
Kyle Rowell, filed his qualify ing
. reports Monda,. Tuly 17. ..
All four 'candidates paid the
required $25, qualifying fee. A fi tfh
seat remains open arid can be filled
by appointment of the board.
"My goal in being part of the
board is 'that it would be used as a
mechanism to educate residents
who need to be aware of our sotl
and water use, and how everything
we do has an effect on the
environment," Whitfield said,.
"I see the local area as needing
lots of education and this is one
way we can reach our area
citizens. I'm willing to devote time
to inform as many people as
possible," she said.
According to Ezell, "I think
there are some advantages to our
county in having an active soil and
water conservation board,
including the ability to secure
funding for a variety of projects.".
The group apparently first
inquired about qualifying for the
conservation seats June 19. shortly
after Whitfield missed the noon'
qualifying time to run for the
county commission district 2 seat
being vacated by Daryll Gunter.

the increase is expected to be
higher--$182 million versus $172
million in 2005.
This continues a trend of rapidly
increasing property values over the
past several years--especially along
coastal areas.

In 2004, the total property value
in the county was $930 million, a
7.5 percent increase over the
previous year. Values increased
5.45 percent in 2003. and 2.59
percent in 2002.
The unincorporated area of the
county is increasing at an even
faster rate--18.37 percent or $161

million. This, is also somewhat
slower than last year's rate of 20.7
percent, but the actual increase is
up from the $146 million in 2005.
The City of Perry is projected to

Highwa 27 and Center Street. ,
When paramedics, including EMTs Chris Williams and Ken Morgan,
arrived on the scene, they had difficulty freeing the driver of one of the
vehicles prompting them to call TCFR to help remove the door.
Later, a call was received regarding a vehicle fire on Highway 27 East.
According to TCFR Lt. Terrn Winstead, the vehicle's muffler was loose,
causing the back bumper to catch on fire..
Shortly after 2 p.m., a 2006 Buick traveling north on Highway 19 "for
unknown reasons drove off the west side of the highway," according to a
report filed by Highway Patrol Trooper Allen Kennard.
The driver, James L. Hussev. SO. of Homosassa. "lost control of the

vehicle" which then re-entered the roadway and began to rotate clockwise.
"The vehicle skidded off of the west side of the roadway and over the
end of a cement culvert. The left side of the vehicle struck a tree, deflected
off of the tree, rotating clockwise. The rear of the vehicle struck another
tree and come to a final rest in the ditch."
Both James Hussey and passenger Maxine T. Hussey, 90, had to be
extracted from the vehicle by Fire/Rescue personnel.
Responding personnel included: firefighters Jeremy Denmark (from
Steinhatchee), Michael Fox, Terry Winstead, Marty Tompkins and Keith
Counce; Steinhatchee volunteer firefighter, Elijiah Mott; EMTs Chad Bush,

seized in drug bust

On Friday, July 21, Joy Towles'Ezell, Diane Whittield and Rick Causey qualified for the Taylor
Soil & Water Conservation District. Not shown is Kyle Rowell, who submitted candidacy forms
Monday, July 17. The board has been dormant since 2002; longtime member Deek McCall said
its primary function was "to protect the county's soil,water and air, as well as to work with
local farmers and ranchers, wildlife agencies and timber interests."

A Cross City couple was arrested
Sunday and charged with multiple.
offenses including possession of
methamphetamine and marijuana
after a traffic stop and subsequent
search revealed the drugs.
Florida Highway Patrol Trp.
Brian Lundy said he saw a green
Ford Explorer traveling
southbound-about six miles south
of Salem, in the outside lane
following a small white car too
closely.
Lundy said both occupants of the
vehicle had their seatbelts on, but
they were acting "very nervous."
Lundy noticed a crack in the
windshield directly in front of the
driver and ran the tag number on
his mobile data terminal (MDT),
which came back as belonging to

Robert Karlois Rapa, 42, whose
license had been permanently
revoked in 1995 for multiple DUIs.
The officer then checked Rapa's
name through the Division of
Motor' Vehicles' and pulled up a
photo. Lundy drove up beside the
Explorer, and positively identified
the driver as Rapa.
"I conducted traffic stop for the
cracked windshield, following too
close and the defendant unlawfully
operating a motor vehicle while his
license was revoked," said Lundy.
When the officer activated his
emergency lights, the vehicle
failed to yield.
"The driver and passenger began
concealing' something in the
driver's and passenger
floorboards," added Lundy, "and

continued approximately one mile
before yielding to my emergency
lights."
When the Explorer stopped,
Lundy asked Rapa to step from the
vehicle, which he did, "acting very
suspicious and nervous."
After Rapa was placed in
handcuffs, he asked the passenger,
Patti Rose Driggers, 46, to step
from the SUV.
Lundy said he saw an open
container of Busch beer on the
front center floorboard, which
Driggers identified as belonging to
Rapa. A purple Crown Royal bag
was also on the floorboard.

passenger, and Rapa was under
arrest, Lundy decided to search the
bag.
Inside, Lundy found some
marijuana, an ink pen tube cut into
a two-inch length (for snorting)
and a four-inch mirror with some
crystallized residue on it.
Also inside the bag, was a plastic
container which had powdered
crystal methamphetamine. Lundy
said other items in the bag were
items used only by a female, so he
placed Drigger under arrest also.

In addition, Lundy said he found
several opened beer cans and a six-
pack iced down in the cooler.
TCSO Dep..Brian Cruse arrived
at the scene and transported
Driggers to the county jail.
Lundy transported Rapa, "whose
breath smelled like an alcoholic
beverage."
When Lundy read Rapa his
implied consent warning, and
asked him to take a breath test for
DUI, "he said he understood the
warning, but could not blow into
the machine because of his
probation and any alcohol level
would be a violation."

Lundy charged Rapa with
driving with license suspended or
revoked (habitual), possession of
methamphetamine, possession of
marijuana, refusal to submit to a
breath test and VOP for
discharging a firearm from a
vehicle.
Driggers was 'charged with
possession of methamphetamine
and possession of marijuana.
The Ford Explorer was seized as
it was used in the commission of
a felony, and Lundy said "it would
probably end up with the state,
which would auction or sell
it."

Main goal: 'protect, conserve our soil & water'

ACTIVISTS

to do it that last day, which I guess
is when we finally got it together,"
Ezell said. "The board is mindful,
of anything related "to soil and
water conservation. There is plenty
of work to do all the time. Now that
the rest of Florida is worried about
their water running out, we really
do need to have an active soil and
water conservation board in
Taylor County and North Florida.
Water is a precious and scarce
resource."
'"'Our main ,goals are exactly
-what districts are supposed to do--
protect .and conserve our soil and
Water resources," Causey said.
"Our job will be to work
diligently with the people, county
government and other agencies and
organizations to insure that Taylor

County has a sound program and,
provide service to all the local
residents in Taylor County. I have
worked with the natural resource
-conservation service for 28 years
arid as part of that, I have also
v.nrked v. th the State of Georgia
soil and water conservation
department and a lot of districts in
Georgia. When I retired and moved
to Florida, I learned that the Taylor
County district had ceased to
function, and saw a definite need to
reactivate it. People need
representanon in the county. I see
the main thrust of the district as
bejng an educational and'
informational type of organization
for our local citizens and officials,"
he said
"Primarily in 'Taylor County (I
see) a desperate need for education
and information. One of the main,
things .the districts in Georgia did
..7; ..

Swas. work with. ,,local, .elected,
officials and people within the
county to develop a long-range
conservation plan and if that hasn't
been done here in the past,' that will
be part of our plan of operation to
see where we're going and what's
needed," Causey said.
As there .were no other
candidates qualifying for the
conservation board, all four
candidates will be named to the
seats without opposition.
Ezell, Whitfield and Causey are.
all members of two recently
formed environmental groups,
Taylor Residents United for the
Environment (TRUE) and the
'Environmental Alliance of North
Florida (EANoF).
Causey noted he was also a
member of the Florida, Wildlife
Federation and several' other
environmental organizations.

The Taylor County School
District will hold parent
orientations to discuss distribution
of the new laptop computers which
will be given to every eighth and
ninth grade student when school
begins Aug. 7.
The orientations will be held
Aug. 1, for ninth graders and their
parents, and Aug. 3, for eighth
graders and parents; both meetings
begin 'at 6 p.m. A parent must
accompany students to the
orientations "as important
information will be discussed
pertaining to the computers," said
LIFT 21 Coordinator Colleen
Prater.
The district was awarded a
technology grant of nearly $1
million to implement a one-to-one
laptop computer initiative at Taylor
County High School and Taylor
County Middle School. The
Florida Department of Education's
Enhancing Education Through
Technology (EETT) grant is
providing the money for the
computers.
The district's grant proposal,
entitled LIFT 21 (Laptop Initiative
for Teaching 21st Century Skills),
was one 1 of 45 submitted
throughout the state. Only 11 were
selected for funding, and only three
of those belonged to rural districts
such as Taylor.
Director of Instruction Wanda
Kemp notes that throughout

was flown to Shands Hospital with
"serious injuries."
Mathid ne Hussey, as well. as a,
third, passenger who was not
trapped in the car, Iwere
transported. by r "ambtance- ;to ;-;
Doctors' Memorial Hospital.
Shortly after this crash, at call
was received for a structure fire on
Courtney Grade. According to
Winstead, it appeared that a
refrigerator shorted out, causing a
fire. When the water line for the
icer maker melted, however, the '
water helped keep the fire under
control, he said.
A third vehicle crash occurred
around midnight on Lipscomb
Circle off of Foley Cutoff. The
single vehicle struck a tree,
resulting in minor injuries,
Winstead said.

Florida, a decline in FCAT scores
can be seen as students move from
8th to 9th grade.
"Unfortunately," Kemp said,
"our district isn't exempt from this
trend. The funding from the EETT
grant will allow us to significantly
change. the way we teach these
students."
That change includes
recognizing a shift in how today's
students learn compared with past
generations.
Chris Olson, grant writer for the
district, said, "The older
generations sat while teachers
stood and taught through
worksheets, books, the chalkboard
and the spoken word, often losing
the child's interest. This proposal
calls for schools to reform teaching
practices by moving away from
teacher-centered, textbook-driven

methods to student-centered,
project-based learning."
The grant will pay not only for
new technology for students, but
has already paid for 'extensive
training for teachers and for staff to
support the new program. More
than 20 teachers have already
received up to 80 hours of
intensive training to be carried over
to the students, according to
Olson.
, "We're always excited at the start
of a new school year, but the 2006-
07 school year brings a bit more
excitement with it, thanks to LIFT
21", said Superintendent of
Schools Oscar Howard, Jr.
"For our kids 'to make it in the
working world, they must have the
latest, up-to-date computer skills,
and I think this has been a good
decision on our part," he added.

Get ready because August is a
difficult month for gardening if
you live in northern region of
Florida.
To be sure, temperatures are
high, but rain also poses a
problem: if it rains a lot, many
plants become water-logged, get
mushy and provide the perfect
format for fungus diseases. If it
doesn't rain enough, the soil dries
out quickly and daily which means
more work for lawns and gardens.
Remember: when watering is
necessary, water deeply---applying
at least 1/2 inch' each time. If
daily thunderstorms leave you
with a handful of fungus
problems, consider fungicides that
can be specific for the lawn or
plant you're protecting.
What-about your lawn? Do not
use a lawn insecticide unless you
are sure you have an insect

problem. In centipede lawns, the
problem could be spittlebugs--
small bugs that are orange with
black wings. Damage appears as
yellow or red streaks down grass
blades which eventually turn
brown and die. In St. Augustine
grass, chinch bug damage
manifests itself with'straw-colored
patches. Chinch bugs are tiny and
can sometimes be found near the
soil line, if you check around the
perimeter of damaged areas (not
the center). Young bugs are
reddish with a white band across
the back; mature ones are black
with white spots on wings.
Insecticides are specific to these
problems but remember: many
are toxic to wildlife and to
beneficial insects. Plus, they can
pollute streams and lakes. Only
use them if you have a problem,
and be sure to follow the
directions on the label.
Another application of fertilizer
will carry the lawn into winter or
make it better next spring. Unless
a soil test suggests that your lawn
needs phosphorous, use a low or
no-phosphorous fertilizer such as

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? No.12

JESUS WOULD NOT BELIEVE THAT
THE MAJORITY WAS RIGHT

By Todd L. Baker
We live in a democracy where, as a norm, the majority rules.
But is the majority always right? History has shown us many
times that the majority isn't always right. Don't be mistaken,
democracy is arguably the greatest form of governmentkniown
to exist, and the blessings of living in such a system are
numerous and great. We are truly blessed to live in the country
that we do, but what happens if we apply "majority rule" to
spiritual matters?
Is the majority always right? The only way to know for sure
is to consult God's word and check what the majority wants
to do against the standard the Lord has provided for us. The
Bereans did exactly this inActs 17:11, "Now these were more
noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received
the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily
to see whether these things were so.'" Jesus warned His
disciples that they must be more righteous than the spiritual
leaders of the.day who had begun binding human traditions
on people. In Matthew 5:20 Jesus states, "For I say to you
that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes
and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven."
Being in the minority on any issue is uncomfortable and
challenging to say the least, especially when one finds himself
in the minority on a spiritual subject. But take comfort; if
you are following God's word and the pattern He has provided,
then being in the minority on this earth is not a bad thing. We
are told that the way to salvation is narrow and few find it. In
Matthew 7:13-14 Jesus says, "Enter through the narrow gate;
for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads-to
destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14For
the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and
there, are few who find it." Do these statements sound like
Jesus believes the majority is right?
One popular belief is that there are many paths to salvation.
This sounds like a nice idea, at least on the surface. If one
believes this, then he can find salvation in any way that he
chooses. Let's follow the example of the Bereans mentioned
earlier, and examine the Scriptures to see if this belief is
correct. Jesus states in Matthew 7:21-23, "Not everyone who
says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven,
but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will
enter 22Maliy will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we
not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons,
and in Your name perform many miracles?' 23And then I will
declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who
practice lawlessness.'" Jesus does not support the idea of the
"many" that there are many paths to salvation, in fact, He:
calls it lawlessness.
Today, the majority considers the telling of a "little white
lie" 'to be a minor offense, and sometimes a "necessary"
offense. But what does Jesus say about such things? Matthew
5:37 states, "But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no';
anything beyond these is of evil." We can see clearly that
Jesus does not label lies and falsehoods as anything other
than.evil. He doesn't have a scale that He uses to distinguish
a "little white lie" from a "bold-faced lie" as is so common,
and often expected, among the majority today.
When it comes to spiritual matters, study the Bible for
yourself. Do not rest on what you are simply told by anyone,
no matter how much faith, trust, or respect you may place in
them. Read God's word and see what He says He wants from
you, and then do it! But don't stop there; share what you have
learned with those around you and remember to keep God as
the standard of what is right, not what the majority says is
right.
Think about where you stand in a spiritual sense, test your
beliefs against the Lord's word and see if you believe the
majority is right, or if God is right.

PPD honors Chief Wayne Putnal

By CHARLES SADLER Putnal said much has changed if his replacement came from that the department needs someone "Years ago, we decided that personnel, and their police"
Staff writer during the past 36 years and he is outside the department, That way, from the outside to come in. since we are a rural county without departments have their own," _

After serving 36 years with
the Perry Police Department
(PPD)--with the last 21 years as
Chief of Police--H. Wayne Putnal
retired Wednesday, July 19, before
a standing-room-only-crowd of
120 well-wishers at PPD.

"gjad to have been a part of any
improvements which occurred inr
the department.
"Tru'thfully, I would really like to
see PPD keep going in the
direction it's going," Putnal said,
adding that he felt it "would be best

someone would come in without
pre-conceived ideas and have fresh
input and new ideas.
"We have some great people
within the department who could
step up and do a great job," he
added. "I just feel like, personally,

"I can say truthfully, though,"
Putnal said, "there is no county in
the State of Florida who has a
better working relationship
between its city and county law
enforcement officers than PPD and
the Taylor County Sheriffs Office.

,the state funding which some
counties enjoy, that we could pool
our resources for the betterment of
all the citizens in the county and
city. Dispatch is a prime example.
Most county sheriffs offices have
their own dispatch service and

The Perry City Council thanked retiring police chief Wayne Putnal for his years of "dedicated service" during a plaque presentation held July 11. Shown left
to right are: Councilman Doug Everett, Councilman Don Cook, Chief Putnal, Mayor Emily Ketring, Councilman Sylvester Harris and City Manager Bob Brown.

Putnal said. "Sheriff Williams and I
decided a long time ago that it
would better serve everyone;.if we
had one dispatch, housed in one
area, which could serve: both
departments, thus saving a lot of
taxpayer dollars."
A fish dinner with all the
trimmings was given in his
honor last week with
representatives from several local,
regional and state departments
applauding his accomplishments.
Florida. Highway Patrol Maj.
Mark Trammel presented a letter of
appreciation for "working so
diligently with that department."
Florida Police Chiefs Executive
Director Aimee Mercer was also on
hand to present Putnal a large
plaque with a clock, "in
appreciation for the years of
dedication he has spent as police
chief."
Live Oak Police Chief Nolan
McCleod, who is also president of
the Florida Police Chiefs
Association, commented that what
he would always remember most
about Putnal was the friendship
they shared on and off the job.
"I could always count on Chief
Putnal for advice if I had a "
problem. I will always value our
friendship."
PPD employees then gave Putnal
a plaque with a photo of the entire
staff, and an individual photo of
himself on it, "for all the dedicated
years of service and guidance,
which he has provided."

FOIA request reveals new

missile range information

........ .....

Dear Editor:
In November 2004, I made a
Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA a law ensuring public
access to U.S. government records)
request, asking for all information
regarding the proposed Taylor
County bombing range. I asked for
all letters, documents, emails, etc.,
regarding the who, what, when and
where of this proposed big foot
print bombing range.
July 6th, 2006, I finally received
a box with about 6 inches of letter
size paper with the supposed
information I requested. When
making a FOIA request there is a
fee involved for the research and
copying which can be waived if the
requester promises to disseminate
the information upon receipt. I
promised I would share the
information with the public
through the media and Internet. I
was granted a fee waiver. The fee
amounted to over $116,280.15.
Lynn Kane the FOIA officer at
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,
said they have over seven file.
cabinet drawers full of information
on the Taylor County bombing
range..
All. this material had to be
reviewed to determine if any of it
could be disclosed. I received only
a partial request. The remaining
material is considered classified. ,
Part of the material consists of
clippings from the Perry News-

Herald and the Taco Times, the
Gainesville Sun, the North
Florida Daily News and other
newspapers.
Copies of all negative letters to
the editor were included. Email
groups and websites against the
bombing range where, also
included.
The information included copies
of emails from the governor and
others with most of the information
blocked out. There are several
letters in the information from
public officials.
SComments on the emails and
letters are also included.
Letters from residents of other
counties and news articles were
also included.
Much of the information was
duplicated. Information verified
was what Mr. Manclark had told
the' citizens at the Perry meeting,
the range was intended to be used
24/7 by every branch of the
military, including other nations. It
would be used for every kind of
futuristic bomb now and not yet
thought of yet. The plan was to
bury, the hazardous materials
onsite. Some jobs were planned-for
county citizens, mostly emergency
service personnel for accidents and
personnel, to bury the materials.
The site appears to have been
planned bigger than originally
planned. The maps are drawn to
cover from the Aucilla River, to

US98, to the original eastern
boundary to several miles out into
the Gulf of Mexico. Guidance
systems were planned for county
road 361. Jena was to be" the
instrumentation site. This bombing
range was to be a permanent
solution from 2005 forward. ':
There was a plan to test bomb at
. the proposed Taylor County
bombing range but with citizen
complaints from Taylor,: Levy,
Dixie, Lafayette, Suwannee and
other counties, they changed their
minds. It now appears they are
going use Avon Park as the big foot
print bombing range.
From the notes written on these
materials it appears a news
clipping service gathered all the
news articles and other information
and forwarded it on to Eglin Air
Force Base and Wright-Patterson
AFB.,
Most of the information received
is not what was requested.
Obviously there is a good deal
more information that they feel is
classified and not able to be
disclosed to the citizens of Taylor
County. There is a 20 day appeal
time regarding the information
received. I am sure if I appeal the
material received, I could get more
information similar to the time
frame it took to gather what we
received, by the year 2010.
Sincerely,
Diana Langston

Midweek Muddle

Up and down a lazy

river with me

By SUSAN H. LINCOLN

Sunday, I found the quietest place on
earth.
Monday, I was still smiling about it.
We took our average boat and our average
family to Williams Landing where for $5,
you can launch your vessel and gain access
to the majestic Gulf of Mexico or the
ambling shoreline of the Aucilla River
toward Mandalay.
7Mandalay, you know, has been translated
to mean paradise, a mecca of beauty
promising nature's restorative healing.
Mandalay, you know, was aptly named.
I don't know if the river was so quiet on
Sunday because of the weather man's
predictions for rain, or if our beaches lure
the lion's share of human traffic away from
the rivers during scallop, season, but we
found more quiet on the Aucilla than we've
found in our lives in weeks. Maybe months.
Who knows, years?
I actually heard a butterfly 'glide by my
head, and I-didn't realize you could hear a
butterfly.. But we were floating this
river...tip-toeing, if you will, so as not to
startle the fish or disturb the birds.
We saw a manatee, of all things, and
wondered if he was lost. We saw an
alligator about the -size of our boat and
wondered if we were lost.
Actually, we were enjoying being lost,
winding through coves lined by tall seagrass
and framed by stands of cypress trees,
cedars, magnolias and pines.
I looked up and declared: "I want that lot."
The husband ignores much of my
dreaming, but this was a dream he could
embrace and he did. He agreed that this
corner of land--far removed from work and
worry-- would be a paradise, a mecca of
beauty promising nature's restorative
healing. Segments of a sea wall still remain
on this riverfront lot, and I'm sure someone
misses this retreat which has an admirable
view of the river, positioned toward the Gulf
of Mexico. At an earlier time, the lot had
surely been filled in and leveled to
accommodate a dwelling, but the trees on
its perimeter may have been there since the
Indians.
"The federal government owns it," said the
husband, pointing toward a sign, mostly
hidden by overgrown cedar branches. Then
he added, "I'm sure if you ask nicely, they'll
let you have it back."
I hate it when dreams have no chance of
becoming reality. I'm just. not as good at
dreaming as some people are.
Up and down the lazy river, we proceeded

with that longed-for lot as our landmark. By
the time wve left on Sunday, I had mentally
designed' a house which would complement
the landscape and'had picked out the color
for the shutters.
When it's quiet, you have plenty of timeto
dream. To think. Or not to think.
We had. spent the previous weekend ofia
glorious vacation to Tennessee and a resort
which is .probably five-star in somebody's
book. It certainly was five-star in our book.
But there is something very comforting
about returning to the simple life. No
schedule. No meetings. Not even a watch.
We let the sun keep track of the time.
"What are the lyrics to that song about the
lazy river?" I asked the husband but I got no
response. I sang a few bars, while the gar
and mullet'jumped on all sides of the boat.
"Blue skies up above, everyone's in love..."
"Mama," I heard someone begging, "Please
don't."
So I continued, "Up a lazy river, how
happy we will be, up a lazy river with me.
We saw ospreys and their nests high atop
skinned tree trunks, and I considered how
well most birds do with their children. They
keep them close, feed them worms or fish
every day, let them listen to the ocean and
bask in the sun, and then when they deem
the time to be right, these parent-birds push
their young out and encourage them to soar.
Why do the rest of us struggle with this?
If you get too relaxed on the Aucilla River,
or any of the other regional rivers,- a
sturgeon will jump up and remind you bf
the dangers this life holds.
And several did. .
Or thunder will roar, and it did.
But you can always motor over to that
spot on the river--the one you'll never own--
and enjoy a picnic lunch underneath the
,palmetto fronds on a foundation someone
else leveled, in the shadow of a sign which
prohibits unauthorized picnics because this
spot is part of a wildlife refuge.
We didn't bother the wildlife, and it didn't
bother us.:
We didn't litter or otherwise misuse the
property, but as the storm clouds passed,
we did enjoy the refuge.
Then, again we went "up a lazy river where
the mullet run," "up a lazy river in the
noonday sun," "linger awhile in the shade of
a tree," "then throw away your troubles and
dream with me."
In the quiet.
For $5:.
Paradise just doesn't get any cheaper.

:Help your pet

beat the heat

As temperatures sizzle in the 90s, Taylor County Animal Control offers
,these timely reminders for your four-legged friends:
:: It's summertime and living isn't always easy for our animal companions.
'Dogs and cats can suffer from the same heat-related problems that humans
-can--overheating, dehydration and even.sunburn--when the mercury rises.
-By taking these simple precautions, you can keep your animal companions
-happy and healthy in the hot weather.
* --Provide plenty of shade and cool, ..clean water for animals kept
outdoors. Also, make sure they have some type of shelter to get out of the
evening thunderstorms.
S--Never leave your animal alone in aIvehicle. Overheating can be fatal.
Even with the doors open, a parked automobile can become a furnace in
no time. If a person chooses to leave their pet in a closed vehicle, charges
of cruelty can be brought against them.
If your pet is showing signs of heatstroke or exhaustion, take him to your
veterinarian immediately.
Up for adoption this week: Lab mnix, blonde, male, has been neutered;
brother and sister, English bulldog mixes, current on all shots and the
female is spayed; mix breed, black puppies; and a white, gray and tortoise
shell colored kitten.
For more information, please contact your local animal shelter 838-
3525.

'The end

of an era'
CHIEF WAYNE PUTNAL
Continued from page 1
A shadow box was also
presented by the employees which
contained Putnal's badge, whistle,
PPD pin, three stars which he wore
on his uniform, along with his
department patch and shirt flag.
"It's truly the end of an era," said
Officer Manager Lavonne
Blanton. "We've been fortunate to
have someone with Chief Putnal's
knowledge and leadership abilities
to lead this department for so long.
It's not going to be easy to replace
him, but we hope that whoever
takes his place, keeps his legacy
going," she added:

Letters to the Editor

Offshore fishing group

Gainesville club opposed Magnolia Bay

Dear Editor:
The Gainesville Offshore
Fishing Club (GOFC) is made up
of more than one hundred families
who enjoy saltwater recreation,
including fishing and scalloping.
We are conservation-minded,
believing that sound management
is the best way to preserve Florida's
fisheries. Because of-this, we are
closely associated. with several
other groups, notably the Coastal'
Conservation Association,
interested in the same goal.
We have been aware for some
time of the proposed Magnolia Bay
Marina and Resort (described in the
Gainesville Sun recently on July
8th) to be built in Taylor County.
After careful consideration, the
GOFC has decided to oppose this
project as very unsound. The
project's proposed channel through
the Big Bend Seagrass Preserve
would destroy more than 35 acres
of seagrass beds. These areas are
prime habitat for many of the fish
species that live in this part of
Florida, such as redfish and spotted
sea trout. The beds also serve as
-I"nurseries" for such offshore
species as grouper. Scallop season

LAWS
Continued from page B-2
and resulting traffic, no over
crowded schools and overburdened
public services. Do the majority of
Taylor County residents think
hundreds of condominiums, hotels
and a six-foot-deep boat channel
two miles long through the Big
Bend Seagrass Preserve, with six
hundred boats a day capacity, in
the first construction phase of
development at Dekle Beach,;
won't begin destruction of what we
have left of Old Florida?
If you want to picture in your
mind how Dekle Beach will look if
this uncontrolled development is
allowed, ,drive down to Miami or
Tampa and spend the day.
Remember that developers build
their. condos, make their money
and. leave us with higher taxes,
noiluti-iin. traffic, crime and all the
other ugly non-beneficial baggage
that those South Florida' victims
have.
I should know, as I worked for a
-developer and I lived there. A letter
writer wrote your. newspaper
saying he was not surprised about

has just started and scallops are
another notable species supported
by seagrass beds. Scalloping is a
very popular family activity and
brings needed revenue to our
coastal communities. The seagrass
bed mitigation proposed by the
Magnolia Bay developers sounds
like a very poor idea. Seagrasses
are difficult to establish under any
circumstances and to try to do that
in the grossly polluted area close to
the mouth of the Fenholloway
River would be very unlikely to
work.
- The GOFC is also concerned that
Taylor County is unprepared to
deal with a development of this
size and complexity right on the
Gulf coast. We note that the few
present homes in that area are still
not all served by an adequate waste
water system and suspect that
adequate resources will not be
available to handle water and waste
water for this large a development
for some years, if ever. Given the
recent outbreak of Red Tides and
accompanying fish kills in the Big
Bend area, it is clear that we do not
want any more sewage .and
untreated water runoff going into

anything that was reported in the
St. Petersburg Times and the "far
left stands" they take along with
the "far out Tampa Tribune." This
kind of so called, conservative
statement is being worn out, to the
chagrin of progressive
conservatives.
President Theodore Roosevelt
was responsible for creating
Yellowstone National Park.
Senator Barry Goldwater and
Senator John McCain are
responsible for federal protection
of wilderness lands and native
Indians in the State of Arizona.
These men were and are
Republican.
They were very courageous and
wise menx whom saw the great need
to protect these natural wonders of
God's creation. Liberals? I think
not.
These leaders were true
conservatives that among other
duties preserved natural
environment (" for the benefit of
the,-people.") Wisdom does not
carry a political name tag.
Thank you,
George Stamos
Keaton and Dekle Beach

the Gulf. As more and more clam
"farming" is occurring as well as
oyster harvesting in area waters, it
is clear that extensive damage
could be done by a project with
poor water handling. The damage
would impact commercial as well
as recreational activities. A project
of this size would have to have
grocery stores, gas stations and so
on, near it, so the overall impact
would be even larger than just the
project itself. Tax revenues from
the proposed project would be
unlikely to completely fund the
needed infrastructure and Taylor
County citizens could well find
themselves facing higher taxes.
Finally, as Florida citizens as
well as GOFC members, we are
concerned that a large development
like this is proposed for a coastal
area that is one of the most
vulnerable to storm surges on the
Florida coast. The total proposed
project would involve over 3800
acres, much of which is presently
wetlands. Years ago, "Florida Real

Estate" was infamous for being
under water most of the time. A
period of fewer hurricanes per year
now appears to be over, and coastal
development must be handled very
carefully if it is not to result in
huge damages, damages which will
probably not be covered by
adequate insurance. Dredging and
filling coastal wetlands is surely
not the best way to prevent these
large, and expensive, damages.
Florida citizens don't need any
more increases in homeowners'
insurance.
The GOFC would be glad to
discuss with the Magnolia Bay
developers what would be a
realistic project for this area. It is
not our intention to be against
development that is prudent, with a
minimal or zero negative impact on
the environment. At present the
Magnolia Bay proposal is not such
a project.
Sincerely,
Tommy Thompson
President, GOFC
