Education was the key to making a difference


Commissioner George N. Green and Housing Director Alfred Nelson


By KEITH BLACKMAR
kblackmar@thewakullanews.net
During the 2006 elections,
Crawfordville resident George
Nathan Green watched the vote
returns at Wakulla County Super-
visor of Elections Sherida Crum's
office. Like the other candidates,
Green was nervous about the
outcome of the balloting.
During the campaign, Green
had to convince voters that he was
the man for the job. But there had
never been an African American in
the District 2 Seat of the Wakulla
County Commission or on the
commission as a whole.
Green changed all that when he
won the race and began serving
the county in November 2006.
"It was a good feeling," said
Green. "I was quite surprised. I
wanted to make a contribution
in the county. I had been doing
volunteer work here arid there. I
wanted to see something along
those lines happen. I thought it
was a good time, but I had little
expectation of being successful."
As Green, who is known as
Nathan. to his; family and close
friends, was reminiscing about


Wakulla County history, he
stopped to speak to Alfred Nelson.
Nelson broke his own color bar-
rier by becoming the first African
American Veteran Service Officer
in the county.
On Jan. 28, Nelson was named
as the new county Housing Direc-
tor, replacing Catherine Aponte
Gray. Nelson served the county
veterans for 2 1/2 years years.
Green has seen a number
of changes in his 65 years, par-
ticularly since he retired from the
Florida Department of Education
three years ago. "Everything has
changed quite a bit," said Green
of his life following the election.
"I've be able to do some brand
new things."
Green's father, George F. Green,
was principal of the old Buckhorn
Elementary School which instilled
a sense of the importance of edu-
cation in the seven Green children.
Most of Commissioner Green's
brothers and sisters attended
college as he did, despite the dif-
ficulty of finding the necessary
transportation.
George Green went to college
to become a teacher and filled in


at Buckhorn during his college
years when a teacher departed the
school during the holiday break.
African Americans could go
to Buckhorn Elementary through
sixth grade. Shadeville High School
offered classes from first to twelftli
grade.
He noted that students had to
be determined to get an education
in the early 1960s because travel
was long and on dirt roads. "It
made for a long day," said Green,
Much of the South struggled
with integration, but Green does
not remember many serious
problems as the 1960s wore on,
"Integration wasn't as rough here
as it was reported elsewhere,'
he said.
Green moved on to FAMU and
Florida State University where
he received multiple degrees. He
worked as a teacher, assistant prin-
cipal and principal in Leon County
before joining the state Depart-
ment of Education. He served as
principal of Concord Elementary,
a school that has since closed, and
Pine View Elementary.

City seeks to get water money back Accidents kill one, injure another


By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
A developer planning an up-
scale subdivision ran up a water
bill of more than $11,000 to keep
its landscaping irrigated, but failed
to pay the bill.
The City of Sopchoppy turned
off the water to Magnolia Park,
subdivision off Harvey Mill Road
after three months of unpaid bills.
At a meeting on Monday, Feb. 11,
Sopchoppy City Commissioners
directed their attorney to seek a
court judgment against Magnolia
Park Development LLC.
In three months time, Magnolia
Park ran up a water bill of more
than $11,829 spent irrigating sod
and mature trees planted at the
development.
Sopchoppy will be seeking a
lien against the property. Magnolia
Park is reportedly seeking bank-
ruptcy protection.
In other matters before city com-
missioners:
After years of delays because
of lead contamination, the renova-
tion of the railroad depot in Sop-
choppy may finally get moving.
Again.
Sopchoppy City Clerk Jackie
Lawhon told city commissioners
that she has received a letter from
the state Department of Environ-
mental Protection that no further
action is needed for remediation.
Lead found on the site, probably
from lead paint used on the build-
ing, was removed by taking out the
dirt in the contaminated spot.

The city can now move forward
with its plans to renovate the build-
ing a prospect that brought a less
than enthusiastic response from
commissioners.
The project has been hampered
by one problem after another, and
state officials have made promises
to the city such as that the renova-
tions wouldn't cost the city a dime,
everything would be paid for by
the state that have turned out to
be not true.
The state did pay architect
Mark Tarmey to work up plans
for the renovation, but that was
three years ago before lead was
found at the site. Tarmey's plans'
don't meet the new building codes,
which changed since he drew the
plans. Another architect, brought in
to design the city's proposed new
city hall, could take up the project
and draw new plans for the depot,


but it's unlikely the state will pay
another architect.
The city has a grant from the
state for about $275,000 for the
renovations. The last cost estimate
the 6ity got was for $399,000 a
difference that would have to be
paid by the city.
The historic building is the only
remaining depot along the Georgia,
Florida and Alabama Railroad line.
About 10 years ago, efforts got un-
derway to restore the depot, and
the State of Florida providedgrants
to pay for the project.
An audit from James Moore
and Company showed that the
city's revenue from its water opera-
tions increased last year, up from
$2.8 million to $3 million in 2007.
Sopchoppy provides water ser-
vice from its city limits to Medart
and north through Crawfordville as
far as Bloxham Cutoff.

A Wakulla County motorist
was killed and a bicyclist was
critically injured in two separate
traffic accidents over the weekend,
according to the Florida Highway
Patrol.
Clarence Ervin Farmer, 59,
of Crawfordville, was critically
injured when he was struck by
another motorist while riding his
bike on Spring Creek Highway
Saturday, Feb. 16 at 4:35 p.m. Gary
Wade Blake, 58, of Crawfordville,
was killed when he collided with
a vehicle attempting to turn in
front of him on Sunday, Feb. 17
at 7:45 p.m.
According to the Florida
Highway Patrol, Farmer was riding
his bicycle north on Spring Creek
Highway at the same time Amber


Claire Edwards, 23, of Tallahassee
was driving north in a 2007 Toyota
Yaris. Farmer moved left into the
path of the Toyota. The vehicle
made contact with the left rear of
the bike with its left front.
Farmer was taken to Talla-
hassee Memorial Hospital by
helicopter and is listed in critical
condition. Nathaniel Wienert, 28,
of Tallahassee was a passenger in
the Toyota. Edwards and-Wienert
were not injured. The bike suf-
fered $100 worth of damage and
the Toyota suffered $2,500 worth
of damage. Charges are pending
the completion of the investiga-
tion. Corporal Herbert Brown
investigated.
FHP officials reported that
Julian Michael Johnson, Jr., 45,
of Tallahassee was eastbound on
U.S. Highway 98 and Blake was


westbound on the highway. John-
son attempted to turn left onto
Wakulla Beach Road and turned
into the path of Blake. Blake was
pronounced dead at the scene.
Johnson was arrested on the
scene and charged with DUI/

Injured manatee rescued at Wakulla Springs


-FWC and Jacksonville Zoo sta capture manatee 1.5 miles south of swimming area

FWC and Jacksonville Zoo staff capture manatee 1.5 miles south of swimming area


By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
A manatee, one of about a doz-
en wintering at Wakulla Springs,
had to be rescued last week after
it was observed to be in distress
- likely due to cold weather.
Officials from the state Fish
and Wildlife Conservation Com-
mission removed the manatee
from the water on Tuesday. Feb.
12, and transported it to Lowry
Park Zoo in Tampa, where there is
a manatee rehabilitation center.
Wakulla Springs State Park
Director Sandy Cook said that
springs staff have been monitor-


ing the manatee since January,
Over the weekend, a park biolo-
gist observed white sores on the
animal's body, a sign of cold
stress.
A biologist from the FWC's Fish
and Wildlife Research Institute in
St. Petersburg was called to look
at the animal and recommended
it be moved. Cook said it was re-
ported that the manatee's breath-
ing was labored, rather than tak-
ing a breath every three minutes
as is normal for a manatee, the
animal was taking a breath every
30 seconds.
The water temperature at


Wakulla Springs is fairly constant,
at around 69 degrees in winter
and 71 degrees in summer. While
that is at the lower range of suit-
ability for a manatee, the other
manatees at Wakulla Springs
have not seemed to be adversely
affected. Cook said.
In the rescue effort, the mana-
tee was about a mile and a half
south of the park's swimming
area, and it was brought onto a
boat, and then loaded into a truck
for transport to Tampa.
Lowry Park Zoo reported the
animal's condition as critical.
Lowry officials have named the


manatee, "Wakulla."
Manatee sightings have be-
come more and more common
in Wakulla area waters over the
past 10 years especially during
the summer months. There have
been reports of some manatees
wintering in local waters a lone
manatee that stayed in a warm-
water discharge canal at the Pur-
dom Power Plant on the St. Marks
River: a mother and calf in Big


Boggy Creek off the Wakulla River
- but those have been rare.
During the summer, a female
manatee gave birth at Sally Ward
Spring, a sinkhole at the entrance
to Wakulla Springs State Park. The
manatee had traveled up a canal
that links Wakulla Springs to Sally
Ward that the property's former
owner, Ed Ball, had ordered dug in
the years before the state bought
the land.

Comment & Opinion

Established in Wakulla County in 1895


I'VE BEEN

THINKING...
By MARJ LAW
rve been thinking a lot about
the importance of family re-
cently to us and to people
everywhere.
-Brother Dickie threw a party
for dad, Big Bob. Yes, Big Bob's
the older gentleman I wrote
about in a past column. He's the
.one who keeps a Derringer in his
glasses case, tells fabulous sto-
ries where fact and fiction blend,
and remembers everything he
reads down to the last detail.
SBig Bob is an older gentle-
man. He turned 100 on Saturday,
Feb. 9.
This story isn't about Big
Bob, fascinating though he is.
It's about Brother Dickie. Dickie
wanted Big Bob to have a won-
derful birthday party where he
could visit with his extended
family and friends. Dickie in-
vited all of them.
In spite of the huge amount of
work arranging the party, Dickie
invited Brother Bob to stay at his
home for the weekend. Dickie
also invited Brother Bob's daugh-
ter and husband.
: Dickie wanted every single
thing to be just right. When
Brother Bob arrived, a large


PGlease clean

around you
Editor, The Newss
: As a new resident of Wakulla
County and Crawfordville, I am
compelled to write this letter to the
rest of my neighbors. I purchased
ipy home in the fall of 2007. It
i 'true that I moved to Wakulla
County because it is "more afford-
able" than Leon County. It is also
true that the road I live on is not
Raved because it is not a "priority"
of the county-something to do
with the lower prices of the homes
in the area.
S. I was also aware that "We'll kill
you county" has the reputation of
leing a "good ole boy" redneck-
area; (I am even considering buy-'
ihg a trucks) After taking all this,
under advisement, I am happy to
be a part of this community that
Visited as a child. I shop locally,
pay taxes, and after the passage of
Amendment I, I really pay taxes. I
im working on the beautification
6f my yard...curb appeal without
the curbl I work in Leon County,
but would like to work in Wakulla
County if I could find a job that
pays enough to make ends meet.
The reason for this letter is to
ask why there is so much trash
4nd litter on our roads, streets,
.nd some of our yards. I do not
think we can blame it all on the


white compote sat on the dresser
in his room. It held an apple and
two peaches draped by a bunch
of sweet green grapes. Packs of
cheese were tucked under the
fruit, as was a sleeve of sesame
crackers.
Looking further, Brother Bob
discovered a plastic baggie of
pepperoni, a jar of dill pickles
and a bottle of fancy deli mus-
tard. To drink, Dickie had fitted
in two jars of flavored water,
a can of Coke and another of
Fresca. For dessert, there was a
box of chocolate mint cookies
and a container of red Jell-O
with fruit.
He remembered to add a knife
to spread the cheese and a spoon
for the Jell-O.
"All the things I like!" gloated
Brother Bob happily as he ripped
open the packets and slathered
cheese on a cracker.
It was such a nurturing gift,
you'd probably want to thank
Dickie's wife, but it was Dickie
who assembled all the goodies.
Dickie wanted the party set-
up to be just right. He decorated
the clubhouse with photographs
of past parties. He outlined the
front room with long tables.
On the far side of the white
tablecloths were photographs of
presidents beginning with Teddy
Roosevelt, continuing with each
president from each decade until


wind. I don't even think we can
blame it all on construction. I have
begun to wonder if some people
are trying to give credence to the
stigma of lower price housing...
lower class people. Didn't their
mothers ever tell .them to pick up
after themselves? It is not all right
to throw empty soda cans or beer
cans out the car window It is not
all right to throw fast food wrap-
pers, straws and paper cups out the
window Somebody will dean it
up. Well, this somebody is picking
up after you. I want my street and
my neighborhood to be trash and
litter free. The sad thing is I could
really use your help.
I challenge each of you to re-
member what your mothers told
you. We may 'not-have-as much?
money to beautify our community'
as some areas do, but we can cer-'
tainly make our county look bet-
ter by picking up trash and litter.
Clean up the sides of the road or
street in front of your house. Help
your neighbors with theirs. Think
before you toss something out of
the car window. Keep grocery bags
in your car for trash.,
One person can make a differ-
ence. Start with your yard and your
street and your neighborhood.
Just think what could be accom-
plished if schools, civic groups
and churches would pitch in and
get behind this challenge. Taking
pride in where we live will be

today. The front of the tables
were covered with photos of Big
Bob at the time of that particular
president.
Dickie wanted to share and
recall his dad's life. It took a lot
of time, but he designed a Pow-
erPoint presentation viewing
Big Bob with people he loved.
He showed Big Bob's first car, a
young Big Bob and his equally
young wife, their children, Big
Bob's first shop, and Big Bob at
past parties. Big Bob was always
surrounded by people.
Dickie wanted the food at the
party to be good, really good.
Meatballs in two sauces, fin-
ger-sized fried chicken portions,
and pork ribs in barbecue sauce
stayed warm in heated vats. Be-
side them was a three-foot tower
of fat pink shrimp, peeled and
de-veined.
Next to the shrimp was a
green Caesar salad sporting
hunks of chicken meat. And, to
make sure everyone could have
vegetables, mounds of orange
carrots, white cauliflower and
green celery strips surrounded
a bowl of dipping sauce.
Although everyone would
have birthday cake, Brother
Dickie put out small squares of
pound cake and a pile of huge
juicy red strawberries. The young
children clustered around a
fountain of rich milk chocolate.


evident to everyone who passes

Contribute to
our history
Editor, The News: .
Residents of Wakulla 'County,
present, past or those with ances-
tors who lived in the county, are re-
minded once again of the Wakulla
County Historical Society's efforts
in creating a book, The Heritage
of Wakulla County, FL. We are
collecting stories to be printed in
the book which will be published
in time for sale before Christmas
of this year. We need your submis-
sions by March 31. We are pleased
with the submissions we have to
date but know there are many
families that have not yet become
involved. We are also looking for
histories of churches, schools,
communities, clubs, businesses
or whatever pertains to Wakulla
County today or in the past!
Brochures explaining guidelines
for contributing to the book may
be picked up at the Wakulla Library
or you may call or e-mail Betty

to you.
Remember, if you live here
now, you have a history in this
county. Who are you? Where did
you come from? Why did you come
here? What do you like? What do
you do?
These are all notes of interest
for your family members now and
in the future.
Those of us who have ancestors
who lived here should feel a duty
to acknowledge them and their
lives of contributing to the Wakulla
County.
Thank you all for your support


Mostly, they jammed the ber-
ries and cake into the chocolate
waterfall, but some just stuck
their fingers into the sliding,
glistening mass.
Big Bob sat at the main table
in the front of the room. Guests
drifted to him reminiscing or
sharing news, stories, gossip
or gifts.
Big Bob, dapper, sporting a
fedora with feather tucked into
the band, thumped his cane em-
phasizing his words. After three
hours of this, his granddaughter
asked if he was ready to leave.
"Nol" he scoffed, and thumped,
turning to his next guest.
Big Bob lasted another hour.
He-was 100 years old and hold-
ing court for four hours at the
end of a day.
It was all that Brother Dickie
could have wished. Big Bob had
an excellent, time with people
he loved. Guests were well-fed
and happy.
I've done a lot of thinking
about family this weekend. It's
a great big deal when someone
reaches the century mark. It's
an even bigger deal when one
person's carefully orchestrated
and constantly monitored efforts
allow so many people to bask
and renew themselves in the
heart of family.

effort

Family loses

all in blaze
Editor, The News:
Rodney and Theresa Crosby of
9401 Liska Dr. in Woodville, lost
their home to an extensive house
fire early Saturday morning, Feb.
9. Due to old wiring in the oven,
the home was engulfed within
minutes, Mr. Crosby awoke to the
smoke alarm and woke up his wife
in a different area of the house.
They were -able to 'escape with.
minot bunsi chemical ifihalation
and seared lungs and were treated
at the hospital.
Woodville, Leon County and
the Volunteer Fire Department put
the fire out within six minutes of
being called. They were able to put.
the fire out before it completelyy
burned the last two rooms. Mr.
and Mrs. Crosby lost two beloved
pets from smoke inhalation. Both
their dog and cat were sleeping
at the foot of Mrs. Crosby's bed.
Above and beyond their pets, the
couple has lost pretty much every-
thing they owned. Mr. Crosby is a
disabled veteran and Mrs. Crosby
works a small part-time job due to
her health-related problems.
Thankfully, both of their doctors
have replaced most of the medica-
tions they lost m the fire and the"
local V.A.Ihospital, Catholic Chari-
ties and other organizations have
arranged for them to have some of
their furniture replaced as.soon as
they can find temporary housing.,
They are currently staying with
their daughter in Crawfordville and
donations of gift cards, gas cards,
food cards and "boost virgin" mo-
bile prepaid cards (their son-in-law
has supplied them with a prepaid
mobile phone they are sharing so
they can be reached by their doc-
tors, family, etc.) and lots and lots
of prayers can be sent to: 50 Sue
Lane, Crawfordville, Fl 32327. You
can also call 926-8694.
The family would like to thank
everyone who has already helped
in more ways than they know. First
and foremost, God for saving their
lives, secondly everyone with the
fire department who helped try to
salvage anything they could and
treated their lost pets tenderly and
respectfully.
"We have lost our "best friends/
buddies" in the fire but know how
lucky we were to have escaped
with our lives and still have each
other, and know that we have God
to thank for that" said Mr. Crosby.
They would like to send out a
thank you to the Red Cross (who
was first on scene at the hospital)
and to all the friends they know
and the ones they don't know,
for the prayers, concern and items
they have donated.
If you would like to donate to
the Crosby Family, you can mail
gift cards, Wal-Mart, gas, visas,
food, or phone cards to: 50 Sue
Lane, Crawfordville, Florida 32327
or call 926-4511 for more informa-
tion.

Big Bend Maritime Program


Dr. Tina Bucuvalas, the State
Folklorist of Florida, will focus
"on a wide variety of maritime
traditions of commercial fisher-
men," when she headlines the Big
Bend Maritime Center's free public
lecture series Thursday, Feb. 28, at
Tallahassee Community College's
Wakulla' Center in Crawfordville.
Dr. Bucuvalas said that Florida
waters have created long-standing,
vigorous commercial and recre-
ational fishing traditions. "Both
are important," she said, "but the
traditions of maritime occupations
are often overlooked.


"I will focus on a wide variety)
of such traditions including sponge
fishing in Key West and Tarpon
Springs, fish net making in St.'
Augustine, oyster harvesting here'
in the Panhandle, as well as oral'
traditions, fishing gear, boat build-'
ing, music, and foodways from
throughout Florida," she noted.
The second lecture, "Folklife'
and Maritime Heritage," will begin'
at 7:30 p.m. following a 7 o'clock'
pre-lecture social at the college'
facility on Highway 319 about one

. Hi neighbors. I just have
to give 'angel wings' to Keith
Blackmar, Editor-in-Chief of The
Wakulla News for being a true
blue cat person. There are lots of
us out there and it tells you a lot
about a person if they love cats.
Don't get me wrong, I love
dogs, too, but just not in my
house. Both of my girls are dog
people. Melodee more so than
Lisa. Melodee's dogs actually
live inside her home. They sleep
with her and my granddaughter,
Lauren.
Since Lisa is trying to work
herself to death, she will learn
the hard way, she dosen't have
the time to spend with her dogs.
But she does love them. But her
children, my grandkids, love my
cats. Goody, goodyl
My nextdoor neighbor for the
past hundred years, Betty Ward,


also loves dogs, but loves cats,
too. She loves her dog so much
that she has had to buy two new
sets of false teeth since "Sadie"
came to live with her and Jim.
Even Jim loves "Sadie."
If you can just visualize that.
It's amazing how people change
when they get older. I'm not
saying that Jim is getting old or
anything. In fact, they get out and
about more than I do.
I want to thank the two ladies
from up in Georgia who came
to St. Marks just to meet Ms.
Joy and tell her how much they
enjoy reading about our little
town.
They just had to come and see
it for themselves. Does this: not
tell you something?
Please, please to those powers
that be, stop tryiiig to turn our

asphalt jungle. You don't have
to worry about attracting more
people, tourists or whatever to
St. Marks. They will come. Why
not just improve on what we
already have?
The thing is, once people
come down here, they want to
move here because it is one of
the last small village towns left
in the world.
Everybody knows everybody
and we kind of look out for each
other. St. Marks is still one of the
most beautiful little places left
on this earth where the word

My mother. God rest her soul,
never liked St Marks because she
preferred the drive-by shootings
and cop cars all hours of the day

at 84 years old she missed that.

stores, theaters, etc., it's not that
hard to turn around and go back

Please leave our little town as it
is. One day you will be thankful
you did.

what's going on in our town.
What is up with our light

"We were told (by father) that
we were going to schooL" Green
chuckled. Six of the seven Green
children went to college and five
of them graduated.
"I almost didn't go," said Green,
who received a construction offer
from a Central Florida company
that was building homes on Alli-
gator Point "I was almost hired as
a regular, but when I told my dad
he said 'I really want you to stay
in school.'"
"I remember that he purchased
his first car in 1952," said Green.
"People would find ways to get
around. Seeing people walking
on the side of the road was not
uncommon. People were always
helping people."
"We didn't have a car (prior
to 1952) so we didn't get out too
much," he added. "We didn't have
a television. Church was the big
thing, that and school activities.
I remember very well that we
lived within hearing distance of
church."
Green also remembered church-
es rotating services on Sundays
to allow each church to keep the
donations for the week. "You don't
have the church participation now
that you had back then. The Sun-
days belonged to the churches that
were in our community. The choir
unions would come together and
go to the various churches,"

parent now, provide for the family
and still look after the kids."
George has a son, George Ni-
coles Green, in Raleigh, N.C. He
shared the success of his campaign
victory with his wife, Jackie, and
friends.
Growth in the county has re-
duced the number of family farms.
Green said he remembers many
large farming tracts and his own
family had a garden for food and
animals around the home.
Green never dreamed that
Wakulla County would grow like
it has and he never dreamed he
would be on the county commis-
sion attempting to address the
growth.
"The growth is very surprising,"
he added. "It's not our people (na-
tives causing the growth), because
a lot of our people grew up and
left. We must try to control how
much growth comes at a time.
The growth will come whether we
are ready with the infrastructure
or not."
Many new residents move to
Wakulla County to take advantage
of the natural resources available
here. While some aspects of the
county have changed over the
years, many things have remained
the same.
"This county has quite a his-
tory," he concluded.

Stone Age & Primitive Arts festival


Photo by Mary Katherine Westmark
Shea Harrington and Jason Westmark, both of Crawfordville, were two of many visitors to the
Ochlockonee River State Park over the weekend of Feb. 8, Feb. 9 and Feb. 10 to be part of the Stone
Age and Primitive Arts Festival. The park set up booths for visitors to learn about various types of
historical crafts. Shea and other young residents were particularly thrilled to look at arrowheads
and other handicraft items.


B CHAT
o
Wakulla

"W ers

| Susan Yelton
Most people know that, with
few exceptions, community
animal shelters are overflowing
with unwanted dogs and cats.
Wakulla Animal Shelter eutha-
nized 57.6 percent of their animal
intake last year, but that was a lot
lower than the year before, when
73 percent were euthanized. And
now, horse rescuers are reporting
that there aren't homes for mil-
lions of unwanted and neglected
horses. This is a relatively new
problem in our society and one
that is getting needed and in-
creased attention.
Across the U.S., the number
of horses whose owners won't
or can't properly care for them is
mushrooming and rescue orga-
nizations and humane societies
are becoming overburdened with
the responsibility of their care. A
few weeks ago this newspaper re-
ported on a local case of a young
woman, who was found guilty
on four counts of animal cruelty.
Until last week, when the case
was settled, CHAT had expended
over $7,000 for the care and feed-
ing of her malnourished horses
and other animals. That amount
represented a very large portion
of our annual budget.
This is not the first case of
this type in Wakulla County,
and sad to say, cases like this
are being repeated all over the
country. In South Florida, the
humane society rescued horses
that were found abandoned in
the Everglades and a recent case
in Micanopy made the front page
of the Wall Street Journal. All
these cases are symptomatic of
a much larger problem.
Horse ownership boomed in
the U.S. over the past decade.
Americans own more than nine
million horses today, up from
over six million horses in the
mid-1990s, according to the
American Horse Council, a trade
association. Along with the
boom came backyard breeding,
as owners without financial
resources to obtain award-win-
ning genes, settled for whatever
nature produced. As horses were
over bred, they got cheaper, and
more people found, they could
afford purchasing them. It is
estimated that more than two
million Americans own horses.
But as the horse population
soared, the economy slowed,
housing foreclosures increased,
and selling animals became
more difficult. Judy Romani, who

StoESIGN.e ti s

lars now bring in only several
hundred dollars. Added to the
problem has been the increase
in the price of hay. It is the main
source of horse nutrition and
has more than doubled because
of the drought and record-high
cost of fuel needed to grow and
haul the crop.
Some might also say that with
the new federal legislation that
bans the slaughter of horses in
the United States has added to
the problem. The Humane Soci-
ety of the United States (HSUS)
and other animal rights groups
stand is that over-breeding is the


problem. HSUS has established a
Horse Adoption Network as well
as Hay for Horses Fund. You can
learn more about their projects
by going to their web site or
calling the regional office in Tal-
lahassee at 386-4534.
If the current state of the
economy is any indication, the
problem of unwanted horses is
not going to be solved anytime
soon. But what all of us can do
is be responsible animal owners.
There are also many horse rescue
groups in Florida and around the
country. They can use all the help
they can get.

HOW THE SINGULAIR SYSTEM WORKS
Developed to serve homes and small businesses beyond
the reach of city sewers, the Singulair system employs the
extended aeration process. Similar to the treatment method
used by most municipal wastewater treatment facilities, this
process involves a natural, biological breakdown of the organic
matter in wastewater.


Wastewater enters the
pretrealment chamber where
anaerobic bacterial action
combines with the effects of
gravity to precondition the
waste before it flows into
the aeration chamber. Once
in the aeration chamber.
aerobic bacteria utiliZe
the organic matter in the
wastewater to biologically
convert the waste into
stable substances. Following
aeration, flow is transferred
to the clarification chamber
where the effects of gravity
senie out biologically active
material. The Bio-Static
sludge return, located in
the clarification chamber,
creates hydraulic currents
that gently transfer settled

Swine show builds values


%by MARY KATHERINE WESTMARK
Special to The Wakulla News
: The 42nd annual Wakulla Area
Swine Show will be held on Satur-
day, Feb. 23 at the Wakulla County
livestock Pavilion in Crawford-
ille. If you've never attended
the event, you don't know what
>u've been missing. I've attended
the past three years, and learned
something new each time.
: Each exhibitor must purchase
his or her own pig, and then must
raise it from the time it's about
two months old until it's about
five months old. The youths pur-
ehase their pigs in early Decem-
1~er. The children raise the pig on
their own, which includes feeding
the pig, monitoring its weight,
4nd keeping it healthy. Contes-
tants must be at least 8 years old
4nd can't be any older than one
Jear out of high school.
: Prior to the swine show, each
contestant must find a sponsor
for their pig. This can be a busi-
ness or an individual. The spon-
sor agrees to purchase the pig at
the end of the swine show for
$1.25 per pound.
. The show begins at 10 a.m.
If the first contest of the day,
the pigs are judged to determine
which is the best in show, and
which pigs are the best "market
hogs." The kids are not judged at
this time, only the pigs. The pigs
must weigh at least 220 pounds,
l;ut not more than 270 pounds.
. The pigs are grouped by weight
class, and the top pig from each
class is chosen. The top pigs
compete with each other to see
which pig will be the Grand
Champion and the Grand Reserve
G;hampion.
- During this portion of the
show, the judge is determin-
ing which pigs have the best
"'muscle to fat ratio." The judge
looks at several things, including

March golf

tournament
I The public is invited to enjoy
a fun day at Wildwood Country
Club in Medart Friday, March
28. The 9th Annual Golf Tourna-
ment to benefit Wakulla County
senior citizens will begin with
a tee-time/shotgun start at 8:30
a.m. Tournament team sponsors
are welcome.
: The Wakulla County Senior
Citizens Center appreciates the
support of the public. With your
help, they are meeting needs
through daily services, activities,
and information workshops held
at the center. For more informa-
tion, please call the office of R.H.
Carter, (850) 926-7145.


the muscle pattern, the width
between the hind legs (a wider
width means bigger hams), the
width through the center of the
ham, and the correctness of the
rear feet and legs.
What many people don't know
about the swine show is that the
kids are given the opportunity
to judge the pigs on the Friday
night before the Saturday event.
The youths are divided up into
teams of four, and act as the
judges, observing four pigs at
once, and ranking them in market
value from highest to lowest The
team members are not allowed to
talk during the judging. Winning
teams are chosen and the individ-
ual with the highest score overall
is also chosen. This competition
gives the children a chance to put
their knowledge about what a
good market pig should look like
to the test. Wakulla County 4-H.
members compete against., each
other, as well as 4-H members
from Gulf County. FFA members
from Sneads also compete, but
only against each other.
The next event on Saturday is
the Showmanship competition.
This is the portion where the
kids, grouped by age, are judged
on how well they handle their
pig in the ring. The judge looks
for several things during this part
of the competition.
The contestants are expected
to keep eye contact with the judge
at all times, smiling all the while.
They are not to get in between
their pig and the'judge and the
judge must be able to see the pig
at all times. The judge will also
ask each contestant several ques-
tions pertaining to the process
of raising a pig, such as "What is
the average market price of rais-
ing a hog?"
After the Showmanship com-
petition, a delicious barbecue
lunch is always served up by
local public officials. The dinners
are $6 a plate, and they include
pulled pork, baked beans, cole
slaw, bread and iced tea.
After all the stress of the
competition, the swine show ex-
hibitors are able to let it allgo -at
the annual Pig Scramble. This is
my favorite part of the day. Kids
of all ages are given a chance to
race around the ring, chasing after
a greased pig, and we're talking

Criscol Both boys and girls try
their hand at catching the pig,
and some of their techniques are
pretty amazing. Only the swine
show exhibitors are allowed to
participate in the scramble.
According to 4-H Agent Angie
Bradshaw, the most important
thing the kids learn from the
competition are life skills. "This
show makes a connection for
the kids between agriculture and
what they see in the meat case at
the grocery store," says Bradshaw.
"It opens their eyes to careers in
agriculture. By raising their own
pig, they are actually a producer of
a commodity on a small scale."
Bradshaw also notes that the
kids learn the difference between
having a pet, and actually raising
a market animal.
"The goal is to raise a pig
that will sell at market," says
Bradshaw. "It's a lot of responsi-
bility for the kids to know that
their pig is depending on them to
feed it, monitor the weight, and
keep it healthy. And it can be hard
for some of the kids to give their
pigs up at the end. They really get
attached to them."
As you can see, a lot of time
and hard work goes into being
a swine show participant. Come
out on Feb. 23 and support this
group of dedicated young people
who are part of a Wakulla County
tradition that I hope will continue
for years to come.
The 42nd Swine Show ac-
tivities begin on Friday, Feb. 22
at 6:30 p.m. with the FFA Swine
Judging Contest.
The Saturday portion begins
begins at 10 a.m, with 30 youths
showing 40 hogs. Exhibitors will
take part in a pig scramble at ap-
proximately 11:30 a.m.,
After the show, around noon,
there will be a barbecue lunch
available for $6 a plate.

are open from June 1 through
September 30. State waters are
considered out to nine nautical

an aggregate of three per person.
That will probably be decided
at the April meeting of the Gulf

Council. A big change effective
June 1 is that non-stainless steel
circle hooks must be used when
fishing live or dead bait for any
of the reef fish species. This is for
state and federal waters.
Tammy at Circle J's said they
had another redfish tourna-
ment over the weekend and 14

Jeff Suber and Brian Showman.
They had a 25 inch and 24 inch

place was Colby Hough and

Twelve years is enough for
Maxie Lawhon. The 53-year-old
Sopchoppy resident announced
last week that the completion
of his term in 2008 will be his
final months on the Wakulla
County Commission.
Lawhon has served the
county for three terms and
is no stranger to close elec-
tion races. He watched from
a distance as county officials
tabulated the votes in very
close past elections. His close
election contests began with
Angie Chappel and continued
more recently with Lynn Artz
and Reggie Coles,
While Lawhon was never
stressed out by close political
races, he said he is ready to do
something else with his time.
"I sat on the canvassing board
and have confidence in the
(election) system," he stated. "I
really wasn't concerned" about
close races.
"I have no regrets," said
Lawhon. "I've really enjoyed it.
I feel like I'll get out with my
integrity intact."
Lawhon has never attempt-
ed his hide his desire to pro-
mote county growth. He has


attempted to encourage resi-
dential and commercial devel-
opment.
"I set out to be pro-growth
and I'm proud of the growth
that we've had," he said.
Lawhon is also proud of the
county commission's ability to
dig out of a financial hole fol-
lowing his election to his first
term. "I think we're in much
better financial shape. But I'm
not sure what impact Amend-
ment 1 will'have."
Maxie and his wife, Lori,
a school district nurse, have
raised a son, Josh, and a daugh-
ter, Jessica Mapes, during the
past two decades. Both children
have married and remained in
Wakulla County. Maxie and
Lori have two grandchildren.
Lawhon said he is begin-
ning to realize that he will be
going through the recreation
park phase with his grand-
children as he did with Josh
and Jessica. "Hopefully, I won't
have to coach," he joked of
his grandson's desire to play
T-ball soon.
One area of the county com-
mission job that Lawhon won't
miss is the constant need to
stay on top of county issues.
"I'll enjoy my (non-board)


time more. My mind won't
be racing with thoughts all
the time. There isn't a minute
that you're not thinking about
something" related to the com-
mission job.
Lawhon made the deci-
sion to retire from the county
commission post following
his last year serving as board
chairman. Lawhon served the
board as chairman on several
occasions and he was pleased
when Brian Langston took the
gavel from him in late 2006. Ed
Brimner followed Langston as
chairman in late 2007.
Lawhon is employed by the
City of Sopchoppy and plans
to continue working for the
municipality.
"I'm excited about getting off
the board," he said. "The first
10 years I loved it. Since then,
the meetings have not been as
fun. You always have someone
calling you a crook."
"I'm proud of our accom-
plishments and I'm proud of
our facilities," Lawhon stated.
"We sometimes have people
who complain about our facili-
ties, but they should have seen
what we had 10 or 15 years ago.
We have come a long way."

War Eagle wrestlers advanced to state tournament

Wrestlers do well at state


- By KEITH BLACKMAR
kblackmar@thewakullanews.net
: With five of seven state quali-
fiers returning to school next
season, Wakulla War Eagle Wres-
ding Coach John Wainwright has
reason to be excited about his
program. He said he was proud
of his squad at the Class A State
Championships in Lakeland last
weekend.
:Wakulla finished 10th out
of 72 schools in the state. A
tdtal of 138 schools could have
qualified wrestlers to attend the
State Championships in the clas-
sitcation.
Riverdale won the team title
followed by Fort Lauderdale
Cardinal Gibbons, Clay County
and Suwannee County.
Wakulla's best finish was a
second place by freshman Tre
McCullough who lost. to a four


time state champion senior from
Riverdale at 125 pounds. Wain-
wright said McCullough had an
outstanding tournament and is
a threat to win a state title as a
sophomore.
Senior Ryan Qualls placed
fourth at 145 pounds. "He had a
heck of a tournament," said the
coach. "He beat a bunch of good
guys" in Eakeland.
Junior Mookie Forbes did not
make it to the placement stand,
but had an outstanding junior
season at 103 pounds. Sopho-
more Tyler Hill had a good tour-
nament as well, said the coach.
He did not place.
Sophomore Scotty Varner did
not place at 130 pounds, but also
had a good season. "The 130
pound class was loaded with
talent," said Wainwright.
Garrett Barco, a junior, won a


match at 152 pounds, but did not
place. Jonathan Daily, the other
senior at the State Tournament,
narrowly missed placing and had
a good tournament.
"I'm really looking forward to
it," said Coach Wainwright when
asked about the 2008-2009 sea-
son. The War Eagles have some
talented wrestlers coming in
from Wakulla and Riversprings
middle schools, including some
heavier weights, an area where
Wakulla High has had some
openings.
"We should be in pretty good
position next year," Wainwright
concluded. "Clay is the team to
beat. They have just about every-
body back."
Wakulla will not face Clay
head-to-head until the regional
championships and the state
competition.

Chelsea Collins, family, friends and coaches celebrated her signing with Pensacola J.C.

Collins signs scholarship


Wakulla Lady War Eagle soft-
ball Coach Tom Graham is getting
used to celebrating college schol-
arship signing with his players.
Graham has four seniors on his
squad who will be playing college
softball next season.
On Feb. 11, Lady War 'Eagle
Chelsea Collins, joined by fam-
ily, friends and Coach Graham
signed an athletic scholarship to
play softball with the Pensacola
Junior College Pirates. Her dad,
Tony Collins, was not pictured
because of an unexpected out of
town trip.
: Collins was offered three soft-
b.ll scholarships from Pensacola
Junior College, Okaloosa-Walton
Community College and North
Florida Community College. "I
accepted the scholarship from
PJC because I have a lot of fam-
ily in Pensacola, I really like the
school and the softball program,"
Collins said.
Collins started playing T-ball at
the recreation park when she was
5;years old as the only girl on the
team. She continued playing ball
at the recreation park until middle
school. She played for Coach Jeri
Jump at Wakulla Middle School
and has played with the Lady
War Eagles since entering high
school. Collins has played on sev-
eral traveling teams including the
Tallahassee Bullets for four years
and the Tallahassee Warriors for
the past year.
: "I would like to thank sev-
eral of my coaches," said Collins.
".Thanks to Coach Lori Goodart
fopr helping me out with college
selection and for always pushing
me to do my very best and helping
.me improve all my skills. Thanks
tp Coach Clayton Rockwell for be-


ing his sexy self and being there
for me through everything and
helping me get those tough balls
' down the line. Thanks to John
and Deborah Newton for a won-
derful season and for a schedule
that gave me exposure to a lot of
colleges. Thanks to Coach Tammy
Nunn for being a great recreation
park and junior varsity coach. And
finally, thanks to Coach Graham
for giving me the opportunity to
play my high school years on a
wonderful team."
"The biggest thanks would
definitely be to my amazing par-
ents that I love and appreciate so
much for supporting me all these
years and pushing me to be the
best I can," she added.
"We are very proud of Chelsea
and all of her accomplishments,"
said mother Dana Collins. "She
has excelled both academically
and athletically. Not only has she
played softball, she has played
golf for two years and has been
on the girl's weightlifting team
for four years. She went to State
all four years, placing fourth in
State in tenth grade and fifth in
State this year."
"In addition to her softball
scholarship, she will also receive
a Bright Futures Scholarship. She
has worked very hard for many
years to make her dreams become
a reality. We know she will con-
tinue to work hard to reach each
one of her goals."
Coach Graham said Collins has
always been known for her "big
bat." She, hit a homerun in the
season opener against Madison
County. Wakulla lost the game
she missed against Lincoln while
she was at the state weightlifting
championships.


"Her big plus is her bat," said
Graham. "She does a good job in
the field." Collins has continued
to improve defensively as a left
fielder, the coach said.
Collins joins teammates Karlyn
Scott and Ashley Spears as schol-
arship players. Scott will play at
Florida Southern while Spears will
play at Lake City Community Col-
lege. While no formal ceremony
has been held for senior Brianna
Fordham, Fordham is expected to
sign with Chipola College for a
fourth senior scholarship winner'
from the Class of 2008.

iff Harvey put a "see me" note on my
office door. "What's up?" I wondered.
That tweaked my interest, as the
Sheriff's Office and Keep Wakulla
County Beautiful work together on
many projects.
, "The Wakulla County Sheriff's Of-
fice should Go Green," he announced.
"I think it would be exciting to try to
have the first Green county jail in the
State of Florida. As you know, Rhonda
and I are already investors in The Inn
At Wildwood, which was one of the
first privately owned Green Hotels in
Florida. That designation comes from
the Department of Environmental Pro-
tection, and it is something that we are
very proud ofl
"As far as the jail is concerned, it
is a lot like a hotel. We serve almost
400,000 meals a year to inmates. It is
like a small city with its own medical,
food, laundry, and maintenance needs.
There are about 60 people working in
the jail, and we need to find ways to
reduce our purchases and new items, to
recycle what we can, and to reuse a lot
of the things we're consuming."
Since the mission of Keep Wakulla
County Beautiful (KWCB) is to reduce lit-
ter and to find its causes, to promote re-
cycling, and to beautify Wakulla County,
this news was music to my ears!
"What made you think of the slogan
Go Green?" I asked.
"The slogan Go Green means differ-
ent things to different people, but to me


it means we are all trying to save the
planet," he replied. "The only way to do
that is to make recycling and reducing
our supplies habitual. We need to learn
to use our resources better and to find
new ways to function in our work and
in our homes.
"Coincidentally, the primary color of
our patrol cars is green" he continued.
"So we wanted to Go Green in the jail
and Go Green in the field as we try to
help victims and others with their law
enforcement problems."
"Can we deal with the costs as-
sociated with this new project?" I
wondered.
"I believe we will find ways to save
both water and electricity. We can begin
to recycle our plastics, glass, and alumi-
num. This should reduce our expenses,"
he said.
"How can KWCB help this program?"
I offered.
"KWCB is one of our great partners
because we share the common goals of
litter reduction and recycling. For many
years, we've assisted KWCB by provid-
ing inmates to facilitate their mission,
We would like KWCB to work with us
in finding ways to save and recycle,"
Harvey said.
"And what are your goals for the
future?" I asked.
"It would be great if we could help
to jumpstart a Green Jail designation;
similar to the Green Hotel designation
by the state. We have many prisoners
in county jails throughout Florida and
their sheriffs could make going green

Beautiful Bill suggested many changes: both
small and easy-to-remedy and large.
^l .# Among the suggestions were:
The lighting fixtures, although
fluorescent, could be utilized more
efficiently. Many of these fixtures con-
tained four 40-watt bulbs. Bill said that

SKitchen workers can make cer-


tain that refrigerator coils are cleaned
regularly.
The office should have its air con-
ditioning system reviewed. There are
ways to see if ducts are leaking, and if
the unit is working most efficiently for
our needs.
o Recycling can make a difference.
The sheriff's office uses a lot of paper,
which is shredded. That can be recycled.
Plastics and aluminum can be recycled,
too.
Some of the land surrounding the
office might be well-used by a sustain-
ing project of growing some vegetables
to feed both inmates and staff.
These are just some of the sugges-
tions given by Bill, and this has been
just the first stage of a most exciting
project which will reach into almost
every area of the sheriff's office.
The next large meeting of Go Green
involves strategy for planting the
acre-and-a-half vegetable garden in
conjunction with the talented people
of the Agricultural Extension Office
and Nathan Thompson. Nathan is
Supervisor of Maintenance of the jail
and former county commissioner of
Wakulla County.
Stay tuned for Part Two, of Go
Green!
"This program will have a lasting
effect on our sheriff's office. It will
change us to the very way we live and
will serve to remind us to pay atten-
tion to the effect of our actions on our
county and on our planet," observed
Sheriff Harvey.

Page 8B THE WAKULLA -NEWS, Thursday, YFebruary i., Zuu6


We are Wild about Wakulla and we have the photographs to
prove it. Wakulla Springs State Park shared some of its natural
beauty with one of our staff members, Graphic Artist Eric Stanton
and Crawfordville resident Geri Yamrose, recently as the alligators,
turtles and waterfowl were showing off as they enjoyed the quiet
of the winter months.
Yamrose took a picture of an alligator coexisting with several
turtles at the park. The alligator seems willing to share his tree
trunk space as long as the turtles do not get too close.
Stanton grabbed a shot of another alligator sunning himself in
the warm afternoon weather. A playful ibis spent some time in
the safety of tree limbs.
Our readers are encouraged to submit wildlife and bird photo-
graphs to The Wakulla News Editor Keith Blackmar at kblackmar@
tdiewakullanews.net. We will run the photography feature on a
iemi-regular basis.


Whooping cranes


to visit St. Marks


:,-St. Marks National Wildlife
Refuge officials announced that
the Whooping Crane Eastern
Partnership (WCEP) announced
Olans to split the ultralight-led
Class of 2008 cranes into two
groups upon arrival in Florida
this fall, pending outcome of
stakeholder input and permit-
ting requirements. One group
will winter at Chassahowitzka
National Wildlife Refuge (NWR),
hnd it is hoped that the other
group will winter at St. Marks
NWR. Both refuges are on the
Florida Gulf coast.
..,The decision comes after the
February 2007 loss of 17 of the 18
Class of 2006 whooping cranes
in a severe storm at Chassahow-
itzka NWR. WCEP has spent the
past year examining the circum-
stances behind the deaths. While
the loss resulted from a rare and
severe storm, WCEP is exploring
alt options to safeguard against
Such a loss in the future. In mak-
ing the decision to divide the
next group of ultralight-led cranes
between two winter sites, WCEP's
highest priority concerns were
uMaximizing first-year survival of
young whooping cranes -(includ-
ing avoiding the catastrophic loss
of:a class group) and maximiz-
ing opportunities for the young
cianes to socialize and form pair
bonds on the winter grounds.
After studying potential alter-
oative winter sites, WCEP identi-
fied St. Marks NWR as a suitable
Telease site. The Chassahowitzka
aid St. Marks sites have different
bhbitat characteristics and each
meets many of WCEP's priority
Objectives for winter manage-
niient of the cranes. Splitting the
flock between Chassahowitzka
aind St. Marks meets the highest
priority concerns for the safety
and well-being of the young


whooping cranes and offers an
opportunity to learn more about
what is best for these endangered
birds. Evaluating the response of
the cranes will improve WCEP's
understanding of whooping
crane ecology and inform future
management.
There are additional operation-
al and logistic factors that need
to be considered and addressed,
and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service will be looking for input
from the community around St.
Marks NWR. The prospective
wintering site at St. Marks NWR
will require closing portions of
Mensler Creek and Cow Creek
and their surrounding marshes
to all public access from approxi-
mately December to April. The
exact closure dates will depend
on when the cranes arrive. Public
comments on the proposal can
be sent to St. Marks NWR, P.O.
Box 68, St. Marks, FL 32355. Com-
ments must be received by April
4. For more information about
the reintroduction program, an
informational open house will be
held at the St. Marks NWR visi-
tor center at 3 p.m. on Saturday,
March 29. The partnership will
continue to investigate additional
suitable winter release sites for
future years.
An international coalition of
public and private organizations,
WCEP is conducting the reintro-
duction project in an effort to
return this endangered species to
its historic range in eastern North
America. This spring, there will
be 76 migrating whooping cranes
in the wild in eastern North
America thanks to the efforts
of WCEP and its many donors,
partners and supporters.
For more information, go to
WCEP's web site at www.bring-
backthecranes.org.
