Reba Mason and Leah McManus with Graham memorial at Sopchoppy School

Community theatre supported


By KEITH BLACKMAR
kblackmar@thewakullanewsnet
Tucked in a corner of the City of Sopchoppy
is the historic and partially restored former high
school. It has been many years since students
walked in the grass and through the doors, but
the Wakulla County School District found a way
to continue to use the facility..
In addition to the Sopchoppy Educational Cen-
ter program, the facility is home to the Wakulla
Community Theatre. Scampering around the
renovated auditorium and dressing rooms is Reba
Mason, the theatre's director, and Leah McManus,
who will play Maria in the March production of
The Sound of Music.
A lot of time has passed since Mason opened
the coupty's;eyes to theatre productions b% lead-
ing the 1992 production of the Fabulous Fifties at
the Shadeville Elementary School. A second show,
Let It Loose, followed as Mason created her own
shows for the community.
In the spring of 1996, South Pacific was staged
in Sopchoppy and except for years when the facil-
ity was unavailable due to renovation, a produc-
tion has been presented each year.
There have been, so many shows that Mason
has trouble remembering them all. But McManus,
who arrived in the county in 2001, helped her by
naming off many of the productions including


Hello Dolly, Oklahoma, Camelot, Guys and Dolls,
Annie, Annie Get Your Gun, Cinderella and The
King and I. The productions have also included
a Valentine's Review and the Fabulous Fifties
Revisited.
A number of the actors have continued in the
productions over the years and several musicians
have continued to stay in the theatre program
as well.
Mason said she wasn't sure how the com-
munity would respond to the theatre group's
performance of the first non-musical, Our Town,
last May. But everything went well.
"A lot of the same cast and crew are still here,"
said Mason. "Some have done it from the begin-
ning. It gets into your blood."
"I was a later bloomer with this," said McMa-
nusi,who was originally recruited for her voice and
violin skills for the Messiah. "I did a little in high
school. I sang and played the violin. The acting
came along later."
McManus will be able to keep an eye on some
of her family as her son, Seth, is playing the part
of Kurt, one of the Von Trapp children.
"We hit the ground running," said McManus.
"January through March is pretty intense." Rusty
Howell will play opposite McManus as Captain
Von Trapp.

With only six months before
the opening of a new elementary
school and no sewer line in place
to serve it, the school board and
county commission agreed last
week to split the estimated $1.4
million cost to extend service to
the school.
Developer Ben Boynton had
been on the hook to run the sewer
line for his Flowers subdivision,
but the downturn in the real es-
tate market and slow sales in the
development had not created any
need for Boynton to rush to install
the line. He had worked out an
agreement with the county that re-
quired him to have the sewer line
in place by the time there were 50
homes in the subdivision. Current
homes have sewage pumped out
of a holding tank.
District school officials pushed
the matter, concerned that the
new school would not be able
to open on time due to delays of
hooking up to the sewer system.
In an agreement presented to
both the school board and county
commissioners at their meetings
on Tuesday, Feb. 19, the two gov-


ernments agreed to pool their
resources to pay for installation of
the sewer line to the school.
School officials said that they
would have sought state fund-
ing for the sewer project as part
of money for the new school
construction, but were relying on
a letter from past county Public
Works Director Randy Merritt that
assured them that the sewer line
would be in place for the school
to tie in to.
With a change in county man-
agement, the letter from Merritt
was a commitment that neither
current Public Works Director
Cleve Fleming nor current County
Administrator Ben Pingree were
aware of. Pingree told commis-
sioners that the new agreement
negotiated with school officials
would split costs 50-50, with the
district to be reimbursed for its
expenses from new taps onto
the line.
The county and school board
would run a 10-inch force main
along U.S. Highway 319 north
from Wal-Mart to the school site
- about 14,000 feet.
As part of the deal, Boynton
agreed to turn over the engi-
neering plans and permits he's


already obtained -, providing an
estimated $150,000 cost-savings
to the county and school board
on the project. Boynton would
still be responsible for installing
the additional 2,000 feet of sewer
line for his subdivision.
Boynton also agreed to pay an
additional $1,500 fee for each lot
- on top of the $3,850 sewer capac-
ity fee for each lot that would
contribute an estimated $400,000
to the county.
The agreement got unanimous
approval from the county, with
Commissioner Howard Kessler
making the motion and was sec-
onded by Commissioner Maxie
Lawhon.
Even frequent board critics
were pleased with the agree-
ment. Chuck Hess, representing
Concerned Citizens of Wakulla
(CCOW), said the termination
of the county's agreement with
Boynton was a good thing; and
citizen Dana Peck saying she had
opposed the agreement with
Boynton because it appeared to
be government subsidy for a de-
veloper to make a profit.
"This deal, as presented here
tonight, is a very, very good deal,"
Peck said.


Cash will seek seat as


supervisor of elections


Traci Brown Cash, 45, of Craw-
fordville announced her candi-
dacy for the office of Wakulla
County Supervisor of Elections.
She will run as a Democrat.
Traci is the daughter of Edwin'
and Sharol Brown of Crawford-
ville and is married to Jerry Cash.
The couple has two children,
Shelby, 16, and Tanner, 14, both
students at Wakulla High School.
She is a fifth generation Wakulla
County resident.
Cash holds degrees in Ac-
counting and Finance from
Florida State University and is
a licensed Certified Public Ac-
countant.
Cash is the owner of a CPA
firm which has operated in Craw-
fordville for the past nine years.
Prior to that time, she served as
CFO of a governmental consult-
ing firm in Tallahassee for eleven
years. She has also worked with
numerous statewide associa-
tions where she was primarily
responsible for campaign ac-
counting and reporting at the
state level.
"Prior to opening my CPA
firm, all of my jobs centered
around the State Capitol and
the political process. I worked
in the Florida Senate President's
office in the late 1980s and later
transferred to a Senate Commit-
tee which was engaged in a
major rewrite of Florida's elec-
tion laws," said Cash. "I gained a


Chavez found guilty of first degree murder


By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
Daniel Chavez was found guilty
of murder last week for killing
his wife Kathy Partida Chavez in
September 2005. He will face life
in prison at his sentencing hearing
in March.
The jury deliberated for about
three and a half hours on Friday,
Feb. 22, before returning a verdict
of guilty as charged for first-de-
gree murder. Chavez, a 27-year-old
Mexican immigrant, showed no
emotion when the verdict was an-
nounced. He hung his head and his
lead attorney, Public Defender Ines
Suber, whispered into his ear, pre-
sumably about filing an appeal.
The family of Kathy Chavez, in-
cluding her mother and sister and
friends, sat through most of the
weeklong trial. The guilty verdict
seemed to offer visible relief to
the family members, who hugged
in the courtroom and wiped tears
from their eyes.


Daniel Chaves
Daniel and Kathy Chavez had
been married only since February
2005 when she left the couple's
Tallahassee home to stay with a
family friend, Patsy Haley, in Me-
dart in September 2005. On Sept.
18, a Sunday, Daniel Chavez drove
up to the house unannounced to


see his wife, who was preparing
to go to church with Haley. Kathy
Chavez, who was 23 years old, was
uncomfortable about speaking
with her estranged husband, and
Haley called the Wakulla County
Sheriff's Office to send a deputy
over.
On the back porch of the home,
Kathy Chavez spoke with Daniel
Chavez, and Haley and others in
the home could hear Kathy tell-
ing her husband, "No, Daniel. No,
Daniel" And, as a sheriff's deputy
pulled up in the drive, there was
a scream, and Kathy yelled for
"Miss Patsy." As the deputy and
Haley came around the house,
they found Kathy and Daniel
entwined, falling to the ground,
with her stabbed twice in the heart
and Daniel attempting to stab his
own chest.
Kathy reportedly cried out to
her friend: "He stabbed me! He
killed mel"

great understanding and respect
for the nuances of the voting
process and the related cam-
paign rules. At this same time, I


frequented my parent's survey-
ing business located across the
street from the courthouse in
Crawfordville.
"Quite often I would retrieve
documents from the Clerk's of-
fice for my parents and would
stop in and visit with Sherida
Crum in the Supervisor of Elec-
tions Office. I was in my early
twenties at the time, but I al-
ways thought what a great job
that must be-to help people
.register to vote and keep track
of the records and results of the
elections. So like many of the
other candidates for the office,
I have long wanted to run for
Supervisor of Elections and have
patiently waited for the current
Supervisor to announced her
plans to retire."

Dilapidated house


falls on Hawkins


By KEITH BLACKMAR
kblackmar@thewakullanews.net

A former Wakulla County
resident working to dismantle
an old dilapidated home in
Ochlockonee Bay was killed
Thursday, Feb. 21, when the
home collapsed and fell on top
of him.
Rona Lavon Hawkins, 45, of
Quincy was pronounced dead at
the scene by the Wakulla County
EMS unit, according to Major
Maurice Langston of the Wakulla
County Sheriff's Office.
Major Langston said the
sheriff's office received a call at
2:12 p.m. that a man was trapped
under a house that had fallen
on him. The center beam of the
old home gave way and left the
structure at a 45 degree angle.
Hawkins was part of a three per-
son crew who were tearing down
the old home at 85 Surf Road.
Two other crew members
were outside the home and
were not injured. But it took
Wakulla County firefighters,
VFD volunteers and the City of
Sopchoppy with its backhoe to
raise the house high enough to
get Hawkins out from under the
structure. Rescue workers were
unable to safely get to Hawkins
until the backhoe was use to
brace the structure.
"The house was very, very un-
steady and it was an extremely


dangerous situation," said Major
Langston. "We could not get un-
der to check him at first. Once
the house was jacked up, fire-
fighters brought him out. EMS
determined that he was already
deceased."
S- Wakulla County officials re-
ceived permission from the prop-
erty owner to use the backhoe to
compact the lumber and remove
any danger of children getting
under the beams.
"The fire department respond-
ed so professionally," said Major
Langston. He added that Chief
Jason Honeybone and his crew
did an outstanding job making
sure nobody else got hurt as law
enforcement attempted to deter-
mine whether Hawkins was still
alive. The weather compounded
the difficulty of the recovery
as heavy rain fell on Wakulla
County during the afternoon.
Major Langston was joined
at the scene by Deputy Lindsay
Allen, Deputy Billy Jones, Det.
Anthony Curles, Crime Scene
Investigator Richele Brooks, Dep-
uty James Plouffe, Deputy Mike
Helms, Captain Chris Savary,
Captain Bill Poole and Deputy
Evelyn Brown.
Since Hawkins was alone
inside the home at the time of
death, law enforcement con-
ducted a routine autopsy with
Tallahassee medical officials. No
foul play was discovered.

It is already the end of Febru-

bering not to forget to buy that
perfect card or gift. The question
is, do we go "Big" to really im-
jpress that special someone, or do
we proclaim to one another that
our love already speaks loudly
on its own? After all, maybe we
need to save every penny to put
toward the kid's college fund. It
is such a funny concept that one
day out of the year we must an-
nounce our love as if it remains
,a secret the other 364 days. Yet,
iat the same time, there is just
something about having a spe-
cial day to profess our love and
demonstratee the affection that
yve feel in our hearts. It leaves
ias with a little smile that lasts
until the following year.
: On a more serious note, every
;glorious day we should be thank-
ful for those we love and who
love us. It should be reflected
in our actions, kindness, respect
and appreciation on a daily basis.
:it can be so hard to do this when
:we must meet the demands of

that she was no longer able to

The moment of my grandfa-

by his side, everyone received
a spectacular bouquet of roses
that were brought in for each
one of them. These roses were
brought in by a hospice nurse
who said their father had previ-

daughters on Valentine's Day to
show them how much he loved

Clack. Clack earned her Ph.D. in
Library Science, was a professor
at Florida State University and
an acknowledged expert in her
field. The Library of Congress
adopted some of her suggestions
for cataloging of materials.
He stated that she felt that
her achievements could be
attributed to the high expecta-
tions, standards and attitudes
of her immediate family and
the nurturing she received in
the close-knit social order of the
early Hyde Park community.
Many heard, for the first time,
that soon after emancipation
Amos Hargrett became actively
engaged in politics. He 'held
several positions of trust in the
government.
In 1868, he was appointed
justice of the peace, later to the
Customs House at St. Marks, a
position he held for eight years.
He was chairman of the county
executive committee almost
continuously and a member
of the state central committee.
In 1885, he was elected to the
state legislature from Wakulla
County. He received an appoint-
ment as St. Marks Postmaster in
1888. When he died in 1905, his
obituary stated in part: "He was a
consistent Christian and deacon
of the Missionary Baptist Church
for 30 years. He was a loving
father and highly respected by
white and colored."
Hargrett is buried in the Hyde
Park-St. Paul (Walker) Cemetery
in the St. Paul community.
The theme for the Saturday,
Feb. 16, event was "Celebrat-
ing Community-The Legacy of
Amos Hargrett" and in addition
to making the keynote speech
at the banquet, Senator Hargrett
also served as Grand Marshal
of a short, but well attended
parade. In addition to a brief ap-
pearance by local recording artist
Trafton Harvey, gospel singing,
speeches and children's activi-
ties -went on in the park until
approximately 3 p.m.
A spokesperson for the

the coalition will be at Wakulla

Florida's students the opportu-

I wanted to

recycle there
Editor, Tie News;
Just in case anyone is interest-
ed, for the period 1996 through
2006, I operated my own, one-
man, private recycling company,
mostly out of my backyard in St.
Marks. Most of the scrap metal,
junk cars, and automotive bat-
teries I recycled and removed
from Wakulla County came from
the eastern half of the county.
The total was 893 tons includ-
ing 270 junk cars weighing 438
tons plus 1,337 batteries. Should
engineer Edwin Brown & Associ-
ates happen to check they might
discover the eastern half of
Wakulla County has risen three
one-thousandths of an inch with
all this weight removed.
Three times I appeared before
the Wakulla County Commission
practically begging them to allow
me to participate, at no .charge,
in the "Keep Wakulla County
Beautiful" program to remove
junk that was being reported
to them. Three times my offer
fell on deaf ears. One time I
offered the "landfill people"
double what they were getting
from the Blountstown outfit, but
they were deaf, too. Had anyone
listened to me I might still live
in Wakulla County and have a
business going with who knows
how many employees.

We have great

wildlife here
Editor, The News:
The moon draped itself in the
veil of the earth's shadow the
other night. It is a reminder that
nature can bring the most spec-
tacular and yet subtle pleasures
to those living far away from the
glare of city lights.
Did anyone else notice how
at one point during this lunar
eclipse the contrails of airplanes
crisscrossing the clear night sky
framed that orange globe to the
east of Orion? Did the kids who
were camping out on the dirt
roads in Wakulla Gardens wake
up in time to see this celestial
show?
For me, this cold, dear, starry
night was a reminder that spring
is just around the corner. The
next time I stand outside looking

St. Marks approves site

plan for boat wash


By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
The St. Marks City Commis-
sion approved a site plan for a
new multi-tise facility that the
engineer designing the project
said would include a boat wash
and retail space.
Joe Hope of Innovative Civil
Engineering told city commis-
sioners at their meeting on
-.Thursday, Feb. 14, that the facil-
ity would house a fishing guide
service, providing space for the
guide service's boats, as well as
a boat wash that would seek
to attract those who go to St.
Marks to put in at the boat ramp.
The facility, to be located off
Port Leon Drive at Tallahassee
Avenue, would also have retail
space and an icemachine.
Of the boat wash. City Com-
missioner Allen Hobbs asked if
the facility would reclaim the
Water or would it go into the
city's sewer system? Facility
'-owner Mark McNamara said he
had investigated water reclama-
'-tion but was concerned that
'such systems have problems,
At any rate, he said, the boat
wash would use bio-degradable
soaps and the pressure wash
would actually contain more air
than water.
Four trees would have to be
moved for the construction,
Hope said. Cabbage palms on
the property would be relo-
cated.
"At first blush, it seems like
you've done your work," City
Commissioner Steve Dunbar
said of the site plan.
In other matters:
City commissioners hired
Charles McMurray as the new
city attorney. He replaces John
Carlson, who resigned.
McMurray has a law practice
in Tallahassee and lives in St.
Marks.
Approval was given for
Wakulla County and Ben With-
ers to go ahead with the new
San Marcos boat ramp project,
-which calls for a new dock,
ramp, bathrooms, and parking
' area.
The project is funded by a
grant from the state Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commis-
sion through the county.
Much of the discussion be-
tween city commissioners, With-
ers and county Recreation Di-
rector Ray Gray focused on t'-.e


that group for an interview. The
third level was a meeting with
the show's producers and NBC
network staff to chose candi-
dates for the national audition
on March 21 and March 22.
Story performed the Kenny
Rogers song "The Gambler" and
the Tim McGraw song "Don't
Take the Girl."
Winners from the national
competition will get to appear
on the series when it begins a
summer season in May.
"Nashville Star" is a country
music show, similar in format
to "American Idol," where con-
testants perform for a panel of
judges and viewers call-in their
choices. "Nashville Star" had
appeared on USA Network but
is moving to NBC.

Men's fraternity
On Thursday, the Men's Fra-
ternity of Wakulla, a fellowship
of men from the community
who gather to share and sup-
port one another in the Quest
for Authentic Manhood, will
be held at 6:30 p.m. "Outback"
at Cornerstone Ministries. For
more information, call Steve
Smith at 508-2560.


demolition of the old bathrooms
at the boat ramp, which were
only put in five years ago but
have never worked right, appar-
ently because of problems with
the elevation.
Gray assured city commis-
sioners that he had Genesis
Group the new engineers on
the project review the plans
to ensure that the flow would
be right. Withers added that he
would also have the plumber
who installs the system verify
the flows.
The project has been repeat-
edly delayed. It is expected to be
completed in May.

well. The stars of the show are

'and public support. It got my
drenalinie going and made me
think how it could be expanded.
There is so much talent in this

Mason discovered the process
and cost to get the rights to the
shows and she has been off
and running since. "I kept going
because I just really enjoyed it,"
she said. "When we first started
.there .wasn't much entertain-
aent in the county. I would run
into people in the store and they
would ask me 'what's the next
show' and say 'we can't wait.' It's
good family entertainment,"

School Principal Frank Graham

wing at the school. Frank's son

Congressman Boyd meets with healthcare council


By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
Congressman Allen Boyd
met with members of the dis-
trict healthcare council in Tal-
lahassee last week to discuss
local concerns, warning that
the national healthcare system
is a mess and that the federal
government is unlikely to take
any real steps to fix it or any
problem until it becomes a
crisis,
Boyd (D-Monticello) created
the district healthcare council
three years ago to get input
from representatives from the
16 counties in his district, and to
encourage the region to identify
resources and problems.
"I hope you feel like I do,
that there's been some progress
here," Boyd told members of the
healthcare council on Monday,
Feb. 11, at the Leon County
School Board meeting room.
"What you're doing here is really
important,"
Wakulla County's representa-
tive on that council is Dr. Howard
Kessler, a county commissioner
and medical doctor. Also at
the meeting was Dr. Lynn Artz,
who heads the Wakulla County
Healthcare Task Force.
The recommendations passed
to Boyd's staff included a pro-
posal from Wakulla'County for
$620,000 for a new facility in
Crawfordville to house Emer-
gency Medical Services, a fire

Continued from Pagel A
Cash continued, "The fun part of
the Supervisor's job is greeting the
public, assisting voters to register
and of course, holding the election.
The more tedious part involves the
intense record keeping and meet-
ing reporting deadlines. As a CPA,
that's what I'm geared for. I am
trusted by many individuals and
businesses to keep records of their
activities and report it timely to the
government. Far beyond the April
15th deadline which ve are all
familiar with, their e reporting
deadlines quarterly, monthly and
weekly for many businesses. Based
on my years of work at collecting
information and reporting to the
government and myv familiarity
with theo election proces;.41. feel I
am well qualified for the office."
As a young child, Cash said,
she can remember going to politi-
cal rallies with her grandparents,
Cager and Debra Pelt. "I was only
interested in playing with the
other children, but my grandpar-
ents were always eager to hear
what the candidates had to say.
They would sit-on the porch in
the evenings and look forward to
visits from the various campaign-
ers and neighbors anxious to
discuss the issues of the day. I can
vividly remember the excitement
on election night when we would
gather at the courthouse to await
the vote count,.
"It's hard to believe that now,
I am actively taking part in that
process."

department, and for emergency
management. The request was
among several submitted to the
congressman's staff from around
the region.
Boyd warned council mem-
bers that "earmark has become
a dirty word" in Washington.
Though it refers to funds to be
spent on certain projects, the
congressman noted that some
lawmakers did abuse the system
for "illegal, immoral or unethi-
cal" spending. New rules require
house members to put their
name and statement of purpose
on earmarks, and forbid adding
any to a bill at the last minute
- rules that Boyd said he had no
problem with.
Healthcare facilities and hos-
pitals continue to face difficul-
ties throughout the district,
which is largely rural. Gadsden
County's hospital closed amid
financial problems and addition-
ally lost its Critical Access des-
ignation because it is within 35
miles of Tallahassee hospitals.
Perry has a new hospital but
no money, Boyd said, adding:
"They haven't paid a light bill
in six months."
The council also heard from
Florida Association of Coun-
ties' chief lobbyist, John Wayne
Smith, on issues coming up in
the state legislative session, in-
cluding an indigent healthcare
program for 14 counties funded


by tobacco settlement money. children.

unarmed basic and exhibition drill
(without rifles), color guard (march-

academics.
We received two second place
trophies, armed exhibition (with

for Wakulla to receive first place in
Personnel Inspection. In this event
judges grade cadets on their appear-
ance in uniform as well as basic
knowledge of the Navy. This event
is one of the most important events
because it is worth the most points,
and it is often in line with the final
standings.
This accumulation of trophies
would not have been possible with-
out the hard working cadets. Each
one ,did their part in the success
of the unit, and some were indi-
vidually lauded. These cadets were
Adam Sanders (first in male curl-
ups), Brandon Chadwell (third in
male curl-ups), Rebecca Stewart (first
in female curl-ups), Cynthia Howell
(first in female push-ups), Tiffany
Damell (second in female push-ups),
Aaron Gibbs (first in male push-ups),
Casey Fort (second in male push-
ups), Josh Soderlund (third in male


push-ups), and Shane Matthews
(first in individual academics). Each
one of these cadets received a medal
for their performance.
With the FAMU field meet now
behind Wakulla's NJROTC Unit, they
are now looking toward the next
challenge, the State Championship
Field Meet in Orlando on March
1. All of the cadets are diligently
continuing to work hard so they can
again be successful at State.

Susan Solburg
Susan Solburg was selected as
the February 2008 Teacher of the
Month and Edith Roberts was rec-
ognized as Employee of the Month
for February at the Wakulla County
School Board meeting on Tuesday,
Feb. 19.
Susan Solburg has dedicated
more than 20 years of her life to
education at Wakulla High School.
Solburg began working in Wakulla
schools as a volunteer and became a
substitute school teacher. However,
her talents and flair for drama were
identified in short order.
Because her father was a mem-
ber of the U.S. Navy and a Pearl
Harbor survivor, Susan Solburg
moved often as a young girl, finally
settling in the Pensacola area dur-
ing high school. She received her
Bachelor's degree from Florida State
Universitywith a major in Theatre.
Not only does she teach at WHS, but
also sponsors Dramatis Personae.
She taught. WKLA-TV television
production for 14 years. Solburg
stays involved as a member of the
Wakulla Arts Coalition, Friends of
the Library, the Florida Association
for Theatre Education and Chairper-
son of the District One Thespians.
Wakulla County has enjoyed
the one-act plays and spring play
productions as well as the WHS
talent shows she has spearheaded
for years. Solburg is dedicated to
the performing arts. She adds, "I
enjoy teaching. I love it when my
students tell me how much they
have learned. I also work with
outstanding teachers and staff at


WHS who support my students and
programs."
Principal Mike Crouch applaud-
ed the efforts of Solburg. "Fifteen
years ago, when I started at WHS,
I could find her working late into
the evening, sometimes until 10
p.m. She never complains. She is
praised by her students, the staff
and parents forthe daily sacrifice of
time and effort she makes in order
for her students to become better
students."
Edith Roberts, the Riversprings
Middle School main dish cook since
2005, is the February Employee
of the Month. A 1962 Shadeville
High School graduate, Roberts has
watched her children and grandchil-
dren grow up in Wakulla schools
as she did.
Gail Mathers, Director of Food
Service recognized her contribu-
tions. She said, "She is a joy to be
around and to work with. As the


Edith Roberts


main dish cook, she does an out-
standing job in preparing some very


tasty entrees for the 500 plus stu-:
dents who eat at RMS each day. She'
is a team player who can be counted:
on to go that extra mile to make sure:
that the program runs smooth and:
that the needs of the students are:
met. Most impressive is her interac-'
tion with the children she servesZ
She treats each child as if they were
her own, sprinkling humor anid
compassion throughout the lunch:
line and throwing in a touch of'
firmness when needed. The fool
service program and the Wakulla
County School Board are fortunate
to have an individual of her caliber,
someone who takes pride in her
work and truly cares about the
children that she serves."
Roberts started working with
the District in 2002. Prior to that
she took care of her grandchildren;
worked with the Leon County
Toddle Time Learning Center and
was a waitress at Wakulla Springs
Lodge. Roberts enjoys seeing the
students' expressions when their
favorite dish is prepared. She is cre-
ative, too. When RMS switched from
ala carte one line to having the same
items on both service lines, every
child was asked if they wanted a
"full tray." She took a long handled
spoodle and made a sign that said,
"FULL TRAY?" That spoodle sign was
a big hit with the students.
"I like having the happiest serv-
ing line," she said. "It does my heart
good to see the kids smiling and
giggling."
When not busy preparing and
serving meals, Roberts stays in-
volved with her church, prayer
group and family. "She is a team
player in every sense," Mathers
concluded.

Every month.when they re-
port, probationers are supposed
to answer yes or no to a question
that asks whether they have
been arrested or had any contact
with law enforcement. Though
he had met with deputies to re-
port the theft, Trice answered no
to the question, and claimed he
didn't know the question meant
he had to report any contact.
In the months leading up to
a violation of probation hearing,
Trice began noting every contact
he had with law enforcement
- including saying hello to of-
ficers while standing in line for
coffee and speaking to officers
at the recreation park where
he works the concession stand.
Judge Sauls found Trice guilty of
a violation in December, saying:
"Anybody with one eye and half-
sense ought to know what that


(question about contact with law
enforcement) means." He called
Trice's explanation "obfuscation
and subterfuge" and indicated
he felt Trice's jotting down all
contact with officers .was over-
compensating for not being
truthful before.
At Trice's sentencing on
Thursday, Feb. 14, Judge Sauls al-
lowed Trice to keep his withhold
of adjudication, meaning Trice
has no 'criminal conviction on
his record, but the judge added
another year of probation for
a total of four years. The judge
also ordered a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
curfew.
Assistant State Attorney Jack
Campbell warned Trice that if he
commits another violation, he's
facing a minimum-manrdatory
state prison sentence.

Sheriff's Report


. A female inmate reporting to the
jail from work release was caught al-
legedly trying to bring in two dozen
sleeping pills and was charged with
smuggling contraband into a deten-
tion facility, a third-degree felony.
:- Cindy Barton, 27, a manager at
the Hardee's restaurant was being
sirip-searched at the jail when she
.ame in from work release on Sat-
urday, Feb. 23. Corrections Officer
Vickie Hughes reported that a bag
of blue pills fell from inside Barton
and was seized.
Deputy Pam Veltkamp was
called to the jail and charged Barton
with introduction of contraband.
The 24 pills were identified as
Equate sleep aids.
, In other activity reported by the
Wakulla County Sheriffs Office dur-
ing the past week-
Paula Knowles of Area Re-
alty reported a burglary at the
company's office on Crawfordville
Highway.
Knowles told deputies that she
had come into the office a couple of
times during the week and noticed
the back door open. At first she
thought nothing of it, but made
sure to securely dose and lockall
the doors on Thursday, Feb. 21. At
midnight, Knowles asked her son
Vito to check on the office and
he reportedly arrived to find the
back door open.
According to the report, Vito
Knowles went in the office and
heard something stirring and
grabbed an unloaded shotgun from
a rack in kitchen and ran the action,

A man charged with traffick-
ing cocaine was ordered to pay
a $50,000 fine at his sentencing
last week. The fine is a statu-
tory requirement on trafficking
'charges.
Anthony Hays entered a plea
to trafficking and possession of
contraband in a detention facil-
ity and was ordered to serve 90
months seven and a half years
-. in state prison, with a mini-
xpum-mandatory of three years,
and credit for 284'days served.
The $50,000 fine is in addition to
(ourt costs and fines of $2,490.

Chavez
" Continued from Page 1A
Haley testified that she didn't
lnow how badly injured Kathy was,
and stayed with her, praying, until
an ambulance arrived to transport
hler to Wakulla High School, where
' helicopter was waiting to airlift
fier to Tallahassee Memorial Hospi-
ial. There, surgeons tried to repair
hdle damage to her heart, but she
'died on the operating table.
SIn his testimony, Daniel Chavez
said through a Spanish interpreter
that he had gone over to Haley's
house that day to ask his wife to
'ome back home. If she refused, he
said he intended to kill himself.
: "I was on my knees; I was ask-
ing forgiveness," the soft-spoken
Chavez said through tears. When
she refused to return to him, he
took out his knife and offered it to
her, saying she should kill him be-
cause without her he was nothing.
She said no, and after he opened
the knife and held it before his
chest, she grabbed at his arm and
- somehow, he didn't know how, it
happened so fast she was stabbed
in the chest.
In a tough cross-examination,
Assistant State Attorney Lorena
Vollrath-Bueno questioned Chavez
about his version of events. "You
testified to this jury today that
you were trying to kill yourself,"
she asked.
* "Yes," Chavez answered.
"But you didn't kill yourself."
"Unfortunately, no."
"In fact the person who died was
kathy Partida."
"Si."
"And the person who killed her
is you."
"No," Chavez answered. "I was
going to kill myself, not her."
"You stabbed her in the heart"
"No," Chavez said. "I wanted to
kill myself."
"You stabbed her not once, but
twice in the heart," said Bueno.
"It's not true."
Asked about referring to Kathy
Chavez as "aquella" or "that one" in
a phone call with his uncle before
the stabbing, Chavez admitted to it,
but insisted it was not disrespectful,
Maybe his uncle, who grew up in a
federal district in Mexico and had
more education, thought of aquella
as a disrespectful way to refer to


making a loud noise, and then
heard footsteps running through
the office and out another door.
Vito called the sheriff's office and
then drove around the building.
The lights from his vehicle report-
edly illuminated the figure of a tall,
white male standing in the wood-
line behind the business. The man
ran off into the woods;. Sheriff's
deputies responding to the call
found nothing, and Knowles and
her son found nothing missing.
The next morning, Knowles
arrived to find the back door open
again. Her daughter, Christine
Jenkins, reported a debit card and
a book of checks was missing. Wa-
chovia Bank advised her that three
checks from her account had been
cashed for $100 each at Publix.
The case was sent to the office's
criminal investigation division and
remains open.
Sarah Moor reported a pos-
sible fraud, alleging that she had
deposited an insurance check in
a friend's bank account for her
and that the bank had seized the
funds.
On Thursday, Feb. 21, Moor went
to the sheriff's office and reported
that she had recently received a
$3,000 check from her insurance
company for a car accident. At one
time, she was involved with Vito
Knowles, and his sister, Melissa
Knowles reportedly offered to let
Moor deposit the check in her ac-
count and then take the money out
as a cashier's check written to the
repair shop.

of 30 years on the trafficking
and 15 years on the contraband
charge.
Wakulla Circuit Judge N. Sand-
ers Sauls, who accepted the
plea, reduced the fines to a civil
judgment.
A woman charged with 31
counts of uttering and forgery
for stealing her mother's checks
was ordered to make restitution,
though the mother had indicated
she didn't want to be repaid.
Judge Sauls indicated he
would not accept the plea of
Karen Sanders without restitu-
tion. "You can't steal from your
mother," the judge said at the
hearing on Wednesday, Feb. 13.
At five years per count, Sand-
ers was facing a maximum sen-
tence of more than 300 years in
prison. Under the terms of the


one's wife. But Chavez, with only a
fifth grade education, growing up
on a mountain in Bocua, Mexico,
hours from the nearest town, it
was how his family spoke, how his
boss spoke.,
Later in the cross, Bueno asked
Chavez, "The only reason you
went over to that house was that
you needed to do something you
couldn't do over the phone."
No, Chavez meekly denied.
Though the jury was never
told because of a concern that it
might prejudice their view of him,
Chavez came to the United States
illegally in 1998. Jurors did hear
that he worked a number of jobs,
including at Kelly Brothers Sheet
Metal in Tallahassee. He met Kathy
Partida in November 2004 at a flea
market and they were married a
few months later.
They lived in Quincy for a time,
where Kathy Partida and her family
had lived for many years, then the
couple moved to Tallahassee to be
closer to his job. I
In a move that drew outrage
from some members of the fam-
ily, a former boyfriend of Partida's
was called as a witness Don
Lemieux of Greensboro. Lemieux
claimed that during their relation-
ship, Partida tried to choke him
two or three times for no reason,
On cross-examination by Wakulla
chief prosecutor Jack Campbell,
Lemieux admitted that he had been
convicted of several felonies related
to running up debts and bad check
charges. Lemieux denied that he


When Moor deposited the
check, Wakulla Bank officials told
her the money would not be avail-
able for five days. After the time
period lapsed, Moor returned to
get a cashier's check and was told
that the bank had seized the money
because Melissa Knowles had a
delinquent loan. Moor claimed
that when she contacted Melissa
Knowles to get reimbursed, Melissa
was either unable or unwilling to
repay her.
Detective Trey Morrison noted
in his report that he advised Moor
that he was unsure if the case
would lead to criminal charges, but
that a detective would look into it
further and consult with the state
attorney's office for a review.
A man reported his 1993
Nissan truck stolen from the in-
tersection of Old Plank Road and
Commerce Boulevard, where he
reportedly parked it on Saturday
night because he was too drunk
to drive.
James Robert Johnson of Talla-
hassee called the sheriff's office on
Sunday, Feb. 24, to report his truck
missing. According to the report,
Johnson said he caught a ride with
friends, locked the truck, and left it.
When he went to get the truck in
the morning, it was gone. He said
his wallet, checkbook and other
items were in the truck.
Deputy Nicholas Petowsky re-
ported that Johnson was unable to
supply a tag number for the truck,
saying he didn't know it, that the
vehicle wasn't registered to him. He
had recently bought the truck from
Christy in Escambia County, but had
not changed the registration or title.
Johnson was unable to remember

a condition of 180 days in the
Wakulla County Jail, with credit
for 66 days served, plus court
costs of $955. The judge also
ordered her to pay $50 a month
in restitution until she pays off
the more than $1,700 she took
from her mother.

Feb. 13, that if violated, "You'll be

was testifying to get back at an old
girlfriend.
In a dosing argument that grew
in loud outrage, Campbell insisted
that the evidence showed the mur-
der was intentional, that even if,
as Daniel Chavez claimed, he had
accidentally hit Kathy in the chest
once with the knife, when he drew
the knife out of her chest and struck
her again, it became premeditated.
One of those strikes was hard
enough to cut through a bone in
her chest.
"If it was an accident," Campbell
told the jury, "there would have
been one stab, the knife would be
on the ground and he would be ap-
plying direct pressure to her chest.
Is that how they were found? No!"
"'You killed mel You stabbed
mel' This are the final words we
have from Kathy," Campbell said.
"Kathy knew it was no accident.
Daniel Chavez brought death."
In response, Suber, who is from
Colombia, made the dosing argu-
ment for the defense, speaking
in her Spanish-accented English.
"On Sept. 18, 2005," she began, "a
terrible tragedy occurred. A tragedy
that is still here. A tragedy that
we have heard about the last two
days. A tragedy that will stay in the
minds of very many here."
During the trial, the defense
was frustrated in its effort to get
a "Letter to God" admitted into
evidence. The letter was written
by Kathy Chavez and found in her
Bible after her death. In the letter,
apparently, she wrote about the

Hearing held on proposed $17 million.

lawsuit against South Florida firm


By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
Two Wakulla County women
were in court last week with their
attorneys seeking to have their
lawsuit against a South Florida com-
pany turned into a class-action case
- which would have the effect of
making the case potentially worth
as much as $17 million.
The women, Charlotte Reyn-
olds and her daughter Amanda
Chambers, are suing Jim Moran
& Associates in Wakulla Circuit
Court claiming that the Secure
Etch product they bought was an
illegal insurance product marketed
by JM&A.
JM&A is a division of the Deer-
field Beach-based JM Family Enter-
prises, the 18th largest privately
owned company in the nation
with more than $11 billion in sales.
Secure Etch was a system where
car dealers etched small numbers
in the windows of vehicles, which
was promoted as a theft-deterrent.
It costs several hundred dollars and
pays up to $5,000 if a car is stolen
and not recovered.
At a hearing on Tuesday, Feb. 12,
attorneys for Chambers and Reyn-
olds argued that the case should be
made a class-action suit contending


struggles she faced in her life but
did not mention her husband. The
defense argued to the court that
the failure to admit the letter was
grounds for a mistrial.
Wakulla Circuit Judge N. Sanders
Sauls denied the motion, noting
there was no date on the letter, and
found the letter's contents were not
relevant to the case.
After the jury returned its ver-
dict and was released, Suber said
the defense waived a pre-sentence
investigation was ready to go ahead
with pronouncement of sentence,
which guidelines dictate will be an
order of life in prison.
The victim's family members
were caught unprepared by the
move and, since they have the right
to make victim impact statements
to the court, Judge Sauls scheduled
the sentencing for March 13 to let
family decide what, if anything,
they wish to say.


that more than 85,000 people have
bought Secure Etch.
Wakulla Circuit Judge N. Sanders
Sauls did not make a formal finding
on the class-action matter, saying
it would take further study, but di-
rected the lawsuit to go forward.
Attorneys Stephen Andrews,
Deeno Kitchen and William Bi-
elecky who represent Reynolds
and Chambers indicated that
the lawsuit would pursue JM&A
through the state Racketeering


and Crime-Influenced Organization
(RICO) Act statute, claiming the
company violated felony criminal
law by allegedly selling insurance
without a license and that it was,a
continuing criminal enterprise. .'
JM&A attorneys argued that S,
cure Etch is not an insurance prod-
uct. The company also opposed the
case being made a class action. ,_4
The case was filed in Wakulla
County in 2004 and has been pend-
ing since.

Outdoors


- What a beautiful weekend
'nd what a beautiful rain we had
last week. Almost five inches of
:rain in Tallahassee and probably
four along the coast. I believe the
:rain will run all of the saltwater
'fish that were being caught up
.around the state park on the
.Ochlockonee River towards the
:mouth of the river.
Mike Hopkins at Lanark Vil-
lage said they had a really good
,weekend and Sunday was ex-
,tremely busy with a lot of people
:grouper fishing and plenty of
:fish being caught in state waters.
Several anglers came in with
,their limits and they .were be-
;ing caught trolling and bottom
,fishing. Also a lot of big gag
:grouper are being caught. Lots of
,amberjack are still being caught
:on the Bryson Reef, though all
:of them are short. Still lots of
:fun to catch though. Most folks
:have been using the Williamson
:Butterfly Jigs. Red fishing is very


good around the docks using
live shrimp and the Gulp and the
sunken barge off the Lanark Reef
is still producing sheepshead.
Mike said Capt. Terry Carruthers
and a friend fished from Turkey
Point back towards Lanark and
caught and released 40 trout
and four were over 24 inches.
They caught quite a few of the
fish in about eight feet ofwatei
using shrimp and the others
were caught on shrimp under the
Cajun Thunder.
Tammy at Jerry's Bait and
Tackle said a lot of their custom-
ers are catching reds around the
Aucilla and in Oyster Bay. Gary
Z. and Gary D. caught their limit
again trolling in about 25 feet of
water using Stretch 20's and 25's.
They also threw back about 10
grouper. On March 1, Jerry's will
hold a one-day red fish tourna-
ment and on March 16 they will
hold their first trout tournament
of the year. Capt. Randy Peart will

being doing a near shore seminar
on grouper fishing on March 4
and on March the 6 he will be
talking about fishing light tackle
on the flats.
Dale Evans at Advantage Ma-
rine said Bruce Johnson fished
down at the Econfina over the
weekend and caught a lot of trout
and a few reds. Dale just bought
him a new Hewes Redfisher and
spent the day breaking the boat
in. He said he ran to the boil in
Bear Creek near the state park
and said this was the first time in
a year that it hasn't been clear,
Several years ago when the


real estate market was booming
and coastal property was going
gangbusters, the Moorings Land-
ing in Carrabelle sold. The intent
was to build condos where the
boats on trailers sat and each
condo would have its own boat
slip. Well, as everyone knows,
even the best-laid plans some-
times change. With the bottom
falling out of the real estate mar-
ket, the plan changed. Brian Lowe
of Crawfordville is now running
the marina and they are. selling
ice, bait and gas and he intends
to have the same great service
they had when Harry owned the


Moorings. They have plenty of
wet boat slips and plenty of on-
trailer parking. By the middle of
April they hope to have the old
condos converted to 32 motel
rooms. Being that close to good
fishing, Brian has been able to
break away and fish a little. Last
weekend he fished with Sam
Geiger from Crawfordville and,
from 10 a.m. till 12:05 p.m., they
caught their limit of 10 fish. They
were fishing the ledge off Dog
Island with LY's. On Sunday he
and Larry Richell went and they
came back in at 12:30 p.m. with
9 nice fish. Brian can be reached
at 697-2800 if you need a slip or
just want to talk fishing.
On Wednesday, Robert Mid-
dleton and I went out to the
barge south of 24 and caught
some real nice sheepshead up
to about seven pounds using live
shrimp. The first fish I caught
was a hog-nose snapper. I have
been fishing a lot of years and

Walled the Kestrel lives.
: To the layman it might just
appear to be another Mourn-
ing Dove perched on a twig,
'owerline or in flight. But when
,erched, the Kestrel constantly
flicks or twitches its tail as if
it's not very well balanced. This
habit is not shared with the
'Mourning Dove.
In flight, .the dove is nearly
'bullet-like and very energetic.
the Kestrel, though, has more
*race in its flight, usually flap-
ping slower and hovering often,
'another habit not shared by
;aoves. The Mourning Dove's tail
is pointed, while the Kestrel's
tail is square.
- Many birds of prey do hover
while searching. for prey. The
Osprey is one example. When
prey is detected, our smallest
falcon will drop either from its'
perch or hover and then "stoop"
or dive on it. Landing at first on

one foot, the other clamps vise-
like in the victim. Then a unique
notch in the upper mandible,
found in all falcons, is used like
a mammal's canine tooth to
crack, or break the prey's neck
or insect shell, permanently
disabling it,
The American Kestrel was
formerly named the Sparrow
Hawk, possible due to its small
size, but more likely because
a small percentage of its diet
consists of sparrows and other
small, open field and pasture
birds. They also eat mice, but
insects, especially grasshoppers,
are its main diet. .
Kestrels are the smallest of


the falcons in the east. The larg-
est being the Peregrine, then
the Merlin in between; Both
the Merlin (formerly the Pigeon
Hawk) and the Peregrine; or
Duck Hawk in Florida, tend to
be seen as winter migrants/resi-
dents mostly along the coasts
or edges of large lakes or open
rivers, whereas the American
Kestrel is found more inland,
mainly perched on powerlines
over short, grassy fields. In
Wakulla County, the large open
areas around public schools are
a good place to look for them.
Through the lenses of a 15 to
30 power telescope, the Kestrel
is stunning. Their spotted back,


streaked breast, and banded
tail are accentuated by two
black streaks running down the
cheeks. The male contrasts these
rufous and tan markings by hav-
ing deep slate bluish wings.
The American Kestrel has' a
number of races of geographical
forms, one is the Little Kestrel
found breeding in Florida. I
extended their nesting range
years ago when I found a pair
nesting in Bonita Springs about
50 miles farther south than
previously recorded. They nest
in an abandoned woodpecker
holes, a rare habit for a raptor,
In the winter months, the larger
northern race migrates down
into the peninsula of Florida and
forces the Little Kestrel out onto
the barrier islands.
We see this northern race
every day, all winter long, on the
powerlines around Sept. 1, and
they leave right on April Fools
Day. Their call is easy to learn
and hard to forget. It's a high,
excited series of shrill "killy,
killy, killyl"


Freshwater turtle harvest


The harvest of freshwater tur-
tles in Florida is sparking a con-
cern about the future populations
of these reptiles. The Florida Fish
and Wildlife Conservation Com-
mission (FWC) is reviewing the
situation to ensure conservation
of the turtle population.
FWC is aware of an increased
demand in the Asian market
for turtles, but it is unclear how
that relates to harvesting turtles
in Florida. There are restrictions
for harvesting certain rare species
of freshwater turtles in the state,
but there are no limits in place
for harvesting other freshwater
turtles. In addition, there is a
seasonal closure from May 1 to
July 31 for softshell turtles dur-
ing their breeding and nesting
season.
FWC's Division of Law Enforce-
ment has found no violations for
the harvesting of the turtles at
this time. Biologists with the
FWC are researching and study-
ing the issue internally. During


this process, they are reaching
out to constituents and experts,
both regionally and nationally.:,
Since there are limited base-
line inventories of turtle popul-,
tions in Florida, the impacts qt
the harvest on turtle populations
has yet to be determined. '

Turkey hunt without quota permit


If you weren't lucky enough
to get drawn for a special-op-
portunity or spring turkey
quota permit, 'don't fret; there
are numerous wildlife manage-
ment areas (WMAs) that don't
require them.
The Florida Fish and Wild-
life Conservation Commission
(FWC) offers 35 public hunting
areas statewide where hunters
need only to "walk on" to hunt
spring turkeys.
These hunts are made pos-
sible through the FWC's part-
nerships with the state's Divi-
sion of Forestry, Florida's water
management districts, the U.S.
Forest Service, Florida Depart-
ment of Environmental Protec-
tion, the National Park Service
and Department of Defense,
who participate in the state's
public hunting system.
Hunters need only a hunt-
ing license ($17 for residents,
$46.50 for nonresident 10-day
license), management area
permit ($26.50) and turkey per-
mit ($5 for residents, $100 for
nonresidents) to spring turkey
bunt on several areas in North


Florida and the rest of the state.
These licenses, and permits
can be purchased in Florida at
county tax collectors' offices
and at most retail outlets that
sell hunting and fishing sup-
plies. They also can be bought
with a credit card by calling 1-
888-486-8356 or going online at
www.wildlifelicense.com.
The spring turkey season
runs from March 1 to April
6 in the South Hunting Zone
and March 15 to April 20 in the.
Central and Northwest zones,
unless otherwise noted. Shoot-

that is the first one I have ever
caught and only the second one
I had ever seen. I heard they
were excellent eating but that
one will have to be caught by
someone else and eaten because
it was released to fight again. Oh
Sunday ,Phil Sharp and I went tb
Wakulla Beach in hopes of catch-
ing some reds but the kayaks got
in the creek we wanted to fish.
We did catch and release quite:a
few trout using Gulps and DOA's
but no reds. ;
Remember that trout season is
closed but reopens on Saturday
March 1. Until Saturday you can
still catch them but have to put
them back. Grouper fishing is
closed in Federal Waters until
March 15, but is still open in state
waters and there are plenty of
nice grouper in state waters right
now. Don't forget to leave that
float plan with someone and bp
careful out there. Good luck anl
good fishing!

Sometimes I feel like grum-
bling when Flotilla 1.3 at Shell
Point doesn't have any news
to report, but then there are
times when I am happy with
a "no news"
report, espe-
cially after I
heard from a
good friend of
mine who is a
highly trained
volunteer Ra-
dio Watchstander at the Coast
Guard Station Panama City.
He said that last Wednesday
had been really hectic. He was
on duty when a boater called
the station claiming to have
seen two jets fall from the sky
into the Gulf. All personnel
responded as well as other res-
cue agencies. It was somewhere
between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. when
he finally left the station.
As I said, I will settle for a
quiet week with only the auxil-
iary skippers getting their boats
ready for the official opening
of our patrol season. The first
weekend in April will be here
before we know it.

watched as'the captain ex-
pertly brought the 855-foot
ship delicately up along side
the disabled boat. It is quite
impressive to watch the captain
maneuver a ship that large as
deftly as he did. The little fish-
ing boat looked like a toy next
to the cruise shiP.
The ship's engineers worked
trying to get the boat running
but to no avail.
The captain radioed a marine
tow service based in Freeport
to assist the stranded boat.
He then proceeded to stay
alongside the small craft for
four hours until the tow ser-
vice arrived. Once they arrived
and connected to the boat and
started the long, slow trip back
to Freeport, we once again got
underway to Cape Canaveral.
I am certain that the stranded
boaters were glad that the cap-
tain chose to detour and lend
assistance and that the seas
were calm. I hope the boater
has towing insurance, as I am
certain that tow was costly. Af-
ter discussion with some of the
crew I was informed that the
small boat had issued a pan-pan
call (an emergency onboard, but
no one's life is in danger as with
a mayday call) and the captain
responded accordingly.
Remember, when you are
going to go out boating that
safe boating is not an accident.
You should always make certain
that whenever you leave the
dock your radio is operating,
your cell phone is fully charged
and that you have the proper
safety signals on board as you
never know when you may
need to request assistance.

meeting in Fort Walton Beach
didn't find its way into the col-

become stale news over night.

Carolyn Brown Treadon filed
the following report on Flotilla
12 at St Marks:
This week, Public Education
Officer Larry Kolk was busy
putting together America's Boat-
ing Course, which was held on
Saturday. The class was a great
success for all who attended.
We had over 20 in attendance.
Special thanks to Larry for all
his hard work along with our
instructors and assistants, John


Denmark, Chuck Hickman, Mark
Rosen, Bev and Dave Suban and
Carolyn and Duane Treadon,
We were also lucky to have Offi-
cer Chuck Higman from Florida
Fish and Wildlife Commission
attend to teach about Florida
laws and rules.
As if this class were not
enough, Public Affairs Officer
Tim Ashley was hard at work
this week organizing our booth
at the North Florida Boat Show.
Several of our members offered
their time to staff the booth and
discuss the auxiliary with at-
tendees, including Tim Ashley,
Chuck Hickman, Steve Hults,
Larry Kolk, Nelson Mongiovi,
Mark Rosen, Harry Stacy, Dave
and Bev Suban and Bob Sur-
dakowski. This annual event
is one of our main events for
increasing public awareness
of the auxiliary and boating
safety.
We will hold our meeting on
Saturday, March 1, beginning at
6 p.m. following the fellowship
meal at 5:30. Before the meet-

While Flotilla 13 skippers
were busy cleaning their boats,
I have been cleaning out my
-file cabinets. I ran across some
clippings that I feel are worth
sharing-two in particular. The
first begins, "Everything I need
to know about life, I learned
from Noah's Ark."
1. Don't miss the boat.
2. Remember that we are all
in the same boat.
3. Plan ahead. It wasn't rain-
ing when Noah built the Ark.
4. Stay fit. When you're 600
years old, someone may ask you
to do something really big.
5. Don't listen to critics, just
get on with the job that needs
to be done,.
6. Build your future on high
ground.
7. For safety's sake, travel
in pairs.
8. Speed isn't always an
advantage. The snails were on
board with the cheetahs.
9. When you are stressed,
float a while.
10. Remember, the Ark was
built by amateurs, the Titanic
by professionals.
I would love to know who
wrote that. He/she really
thought it through.

Tiger Cub Scouts visit


_-. CHAT
--.-. ,' | of
"-3' a" ,jt "'fu^


A few Tiger Cubs were given the opportunity to tour The
Wakulla News on Wednesday, Feb. 13. They were accompanied
by two parents and each of them brought a sister. They are
part of Pack Five of the Tiger Cubs. Pictured is Liam Bradford,
Chaim Bradford, Jonah Harvey, Marina Harvey, Tanner Pafford,

I l [I I Susan Yelton |
On a recent trip to Petco with
the shelter animals, a family asked
me if they could adopt two of our
kittens. I did not find that unusual.
For a variety of reasons, many
people adopt two kittens at one
time. But when the little boy told
me that now they would have 12
cats, a "red flag" went up. My first
reaction was to try to imagine a
house with 12 cats (since I don't
have any) but then my thoughts
turned to the possibility of animal
hoarding.
The subject of animal hoarding
invariably elicits more questions
than answers. Where is the bound-
ary between a compulsive person
and a normal healthy person, who
just has a lot of pets? And what
drives people to hoard animals?
I have often wondered, how can
people who hoard animals can live
in conditions where animal feces
is a constant problem, animals are
sickly, needing constant attention,
crying for attention, etc.
Hoarding is unlike any other
kind of animal abuse in one sig-
nificant way. Most hoarders do not
intend to harm their animals. But
in fact, the animals are victims of


Panacea dentist Dr. Quill Turk was selected for the Yard of the Month for March by the Panace4a
Waterfronts Committee. The committee is recognizing residential and commercial property owners-
who have gone the extra mile to make their parcels look well landscaped.


cruelty and abuse. The cases that
have been investigated in our area
are typically a situation where a
person starts out with one, then
two pets, until they compulsively
start collecting animals and can no
longer care for them. We are not,
talking about a few pets, but more
than 30 to 40 dogs/cats confined
in a small area.
Frequently, the animals that
are seized in hoarding cases have
gone without proper socialization
and veterinary care for so long that
they have suffered from diseases
and major behavior problems. In
the case of our shelter, with lim-
ited space and financial resources,
many of the animals taken from
hoarders have to be euthanized.


We try to place as many as we
can, but the reality is that it is not
always possible.
Why people become hoarders
remains a mystery and often the
solutions to the problem have
been to prosecute the hoarder,
rather than address the person's
long term psychological problem.
Studies have shown that prosecu-
tion is not an answer. When left
to their own devices, without con-
tinued supervision and counseling,
almost always, they continue to
hoard animals again.
In 1997, in effort to address the
problem, The Hoarding of Animals
Research Consortium was formed
as a part of an on-going attempt to
understand and treat the sickness.


It is an interdisciplinary group-
including people in the field of
psychology, psychiatry, sociology;
social work, veterinary science, and
animal protection professionals.
The forming of the consortium is
a hopeful sign, that on the national
level, the issue is being recognized
as a serious psychological problem
that needs to be addressed.
In the case of the little boy
who wanted to adopt two kittens,
the family just loved cats and had
the resources to provide for them.
We have some beautiful cats at
the shelter these days and hope
you will think of them when you
are trying to find a pet. And as a
reminder, please spay/neuter your
animals;

Wakulta County Senior Citizens Celebrate Life


What are you doing today?


Pat Allen participated in the Valentine's parade as Queen of the Senior Citizen's Center



Coach Broyles on Alzheimers


Alzheimer's Caregivers: "You
are not alone!"
A Special Note from Coach
Frank Broyles, Athletic Director
for the University of Arkansas
Razorbacks.
"Dear Alzheimer's Caregiver,
much like you, my life has been
touched by Alzheimer's Disease.
When my wife, Barbara, was
diagnosed with Alzheimer's
disease, I didn't know much
about the disease or the impact
it would have on our lives. What
I did know was that Alzheimer's
was not going to destroy our
love for life. Our family came
together and decided to focus
on what we did have instead of


what we didn't have.
"We chose to celebrate our
todayy' and our memories, and
to make each day the best, with
no regrets. Like so many oth-
ers, we experienced our share
of heartbreaks. We also experi-
enced happy times, and those we
will remember forever.
"My best advice to you is to
treasure each day and live it to
the fullest. Cherish the time you
spend together and, perhaps
most important, love each other.-
I hope you find peace in know-
ing that it is still possible to live
and love when someone you
love is living with Alzheimer's
disease."


The above note by Coach Bro-
yles came from his book: Coach
Broyles' Playbook for Alzheimer's
Caregivers: A Practical Tips Guide
- www.alzheimersplaybook.
com
This book, plus others, are
available free of charge. Anyone
wanting information on how
to care for a loved one with
Alzheimer's disease call the
Alzheimer's Association (800)
272-3900. You can also reach
the local Wakulla Alzheimer
and Dementia Support Group
at (850) 984-5277. The Wakulla
County Senior Citizens Center
can be reached at (850) 926-7145,
Remember, you are not alone


What are you doing today? Are
you celebrating life? If you were
asked to write an essay describ-
ing what it means to celebrate
life what would you say?
If you agree with certain dic-
tionaries you might say, Life is
existence and celebrating means
"having a lively happy time."
Thus, as a human being you are
"Celebrating Life."
Many individuals who are
60 years of age and older have
found the Wakulla County Se-
nior Citizens Center offers them
opportunities for celebrating
life. On any given day, as soon
as the doors open, you can hear
sounds of laughter, and see lots
of people hugging as they greet
one another.
While some need the as-
sistance of the Wakulla County
Public Transportation buses to
transport them to the center,
other seniors, however, still
drive themselves. Few attend-
ees come to the center with the
help of their caregiver or family
member.,
Finding ways to have happy
lively times with their love ones
seems to be an ever pressing
issue for most caregivers.- Pat
Ashley meets with. a group on
the fourth Friday of each month.
She facilitates the meetings
of the Wakulla Alzheimer and
Dementia Support Group at the
senior center.
"The senior center is a great
resource for meeting the needs
of both the loved one and the
needs of the caregiver, alike."
Ashley said. "The senior center
helps our group by supplying us
with a list of available sitters. I
share this list with caregivers and

Citizens Council, Inc. and

the Senior Center.
with those who need help with
in home care needs. Of course,
it's up to each independent care-
giver to interview and qualify the
sitter before allowing them to sit
with their family member."
When asked, if she had enough
sitters, Pat said, "We always need
more volunteer sitters." The dif-
ference between volunteer and
regular sitters is the volunteer
can do this service out of kind-
ness, with no monetary compen-
sation. However, there is lots of
love, hugs ,and treasures untold
for both regular and volunteer
sitters. For more information
about the sitter program offered
through the Wakulla County Se-
nior Citizens Center, please call
the office at 926-7145.
Another service you might
what to ask about is the "Proj-
ect Life Savers" program. This
special project is made possible


Wakulla Glamour


By JOAN E. SMITH'
Public Relations Writer for the
Wakulla County
Senior Citizens Center
The third annual "Glam-
our Shots" event .held at .the,
Wakulla County Senior Citizens
Center on Tuesday Feb. 5, was
lots of fun and thanks to all
the participants it was a great
success.
Several, female subjects
adorned themselves with feath-
ery colorful neckpieces. Observ-
ers made verbal sounds of ooo
and aah. The room was filled
with comments like, "Oh see,
the red, the yellow, the blue,
the green and the purple neck-
pieces."
"Look, here's a beautiful
glittery white feather boa."


Valerie Mertz
Others said, "Look at this one,
it matches your outfit. It compli-
ments your beautiful smile."


through the partnership of the
Wakulla County Senior Citizens
Council and the Wakulla County
Sheriff's Office. Peggy Mackin,
Chair, of the Senior Citizens
Council, said, "The "Project Life
Savers" service provides the ap-
plicant with a wrist band, which
contains a radio transmitter that
identifies the location of your
loved one."
To find out if you (as the care-
giver) and your needy loved one
qualifies for budgeted services;
Dee Bastian, Lead Case Man-
ager In Home Services, of the
Wakulla County Senior Citizens
Center, suggests that you first
contact the Area Agency on Ag-
ing for North Florida. "Funding
for these services come through
various means, such as the
Community Home Care for the
Elderly, Alzheimer Initiative, andc
Medicaid Waiver, and through
community support and fund
raising events sponsored by the
Wakulla County Senior Citizens
Council, Inc.," she said.
"The Area Agency on Aging for
North Florida will help you with
the process. Be sure to tell them
where you are calling from (i.e-
Crawfordville, Wakulla County),
tell them about your need and
the need of your loved one. Their
toll free phone number is: (866)
467-4624. If you prefer to visit
with them on line please go to.
www.aaanf.org/caregiver."
Wakulla Community Seniors:
Come enjoy the company of your
fellow Wakulla Seniors and meet
some new friends and neighbors:
We're having a lively happy time
"Celebrating Life" one day at
a time at the Wakulla County
Senior Citizens Center.

"Oh, you've got to wear this
one for your picture"
The pre-Valentine's Day
event was coordinated by Dii
ane Lanter, Activities Directot
of the Wakulla County Senior
Citizens Center. The Senior
Citizens Council would like to
recognize Diane and her team
of helpers. You helped to make
the "Glamour Shots" a happy
and fun day. Thanks You did
a great job serving our senior
citizens.
A special thank you goes
out to Wakulla Rotary Club
members, Joanne Strickland, of
Ameris Bank for providing the

erine Westmark for providing
the photography services.

Senior citizens who are at
least 62 years old and own a
home, can now borrow against
the equity in their home, utiliz-
ing the money for just about
anything, without ever having
to repay the debt. They can
continue living in the home for
the rest of their lives without
the burden of making monthly
payments. There is never a risk
of losing their home and they
are free to sell or refi nance the
home, without penalty, at any
time. All money received is tax
free and has no effect on Social
Security or retirement income.
This is now possible thanks
to a Home Equity Conversion
Mortgage created by the Fed-
eral Government's Department
of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment, also know as HUD. This
money can be used to:


1. Payoff an existing mort-
gage
2. Pay for medical expenses
3. Supplement income
4. Supplement savings
5. Make repairs to the home
6. Provide financial assis-
tance to family members
7. Establish a line of credit
that can be used if needed in
the future
8. Vacation and travel
A free report reveals how
citizens of Wakulla County can
utilize this opportunity to ease fi-
nancial burdens for themselves,
or their loved ones courtesy of
this United States Government
insured assistance program.

Center

Many of these sponsors have agreed to
sponsor the senior citizens golf tournament
again in 2008.
This year Hazel Imperiale has been selected
as the Senior Celebrity of the Sheriff David
Harvey / Wakulla Senior Citizens Golf Tourna-
ment. At age 84, Hazel Imperiale maintains a
close relationship with her friends at St. Eliza-
beth Ann Seton Catholic Church. She attends
church when she can and regularly attends
the Senior Citizens Center Monday through
Thursday. She especially enjoys the lunches
prepared by Chef Mary.
I Born November 29, 1923, in Tulsa, Okla.,
she grew up and married Jerry. They were able
to be together in California, New Jersey and
Oklahoma before he was sent to Okinawa as a
member of the Signal Corps during World War
II. Their marriage produced three daughters,
Mary Ann Imperiale Mooney, Geraldine (Jill)
Harvey and Nancy Imperial Wellons. Mary Ann
is a decorator. Mary Ann and Nancy, who is a
writer, graduated from Florida State University.
Geraldine (Jill) is an RN, having graduated from
the M.B. Johnson School of Nursing in Elyria,
Ohio. She is working at Florida's Agency for


Health Care Administration.
Hazel was a former Girl Scout Leader in
Westchester, Ill. She also served as a Neigh-
borhood Chairman as well as the District
Chairman of the Lone Tree Area Council of
Girl Scouts. Hazel is artistic, having painted
and donated paintings to the Christmas in July
event at the senior center, to her church for Oc-
toberfest, as well as the Knights of Columbus
and Habitat for Humanity. In each case, one of
her paintings was raffled to raise funds.
Hazel worked as anr Administrative As-
sistant III at the Public Employees Relations
Commission until she retired at age 77.
Without the senior center to attend daily, she
believes eventually she would become bored
and perhaps depressed. She is very grateful
for the caring staff and the many friends she
has made there.
The senior citizens of Wakulla County
are deeply indebted to Walter Dodson and
Wakulla Bank for their support and generosity.
They have added so much to the quality of the
programs offered by the senior center.
The AARP will continue to prepare tax
returns in our senior center every Wednesday
from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. through April 9.
Early in February, Mary Katherine West-
mark and Jo Ann Strickland provided make-up
and styled.out seniors for glamour shots. They
took glamour photos of more that 60 seniors.
They all had a happy and fun-filled day. The
pictures were framed and given to them on
Valentine's Day. These pictures did add much
joy to the lives of those who participated.
We have many activities regularly sched-
uled in the center. I mentioned the last two
items since, they were one-time events and
demonstrate the diversity of senior activities.

Jason Naumann donated the


Oaks collection. It had been on

In addition, Linda D. Thomp-

A retirement party was held
at the Wakulla County Senior
Citizen's Center on Saturday, Feb.
9,1for Janet Spears of Medart who
recently retired from the U.S. Post-
al. Service. The Bravest Little Band
(with Jim Gibson) entertained a
crowd of more than 135 attend-
ees. The food was casual, but "lip
smackin' good," as mounds of in-
credibly delicious selections were
prepared by the center. There was
a "Dancing with the Stars" event
with hosts Janet and Marshall
Spears leading the funl
. According to Warren Harden,
Crawfordville Postmaster Retired,
"Janet sets a first for many things
iii Wakulla County. She was the
first female rural carrier to be
hired and the first female rural
carrier to retire from Crawford-
ville. When she was hired there
were only three routes in 32327.

and with excellent service."
Retired Crawfordville Post-
master Becky Shuler stated that,
"Janet was most amazing in
performance and service to her
community. She was selected to
let The Wakulla News reporter
Keith Blackmar see what is was
like to be a rural carrier for a day.
I know he never looked at the
mail carriers the same after that.
Janet excelled in everything she
did-customer service, accurate
mail delivery, attendance and at-
titude. I think I am more proud
of her retirement than I was my
own. The last two years were
pretty rough going. I didn't look
like she was going to be able to
fulfill her lifelong dream of earn-
ing a regular retirement, but she
persevered and on Jan. 31, 2008,
she completed a career that be-
gan April 5, 1980."
Janet and Marshall plan to
travel, continue with their danc-
ing, and to care for their new
grandson, Morgan Keith Mercer.
They have no plans to change
any of their community activi-
ties and thank all the citizens
'of Crawfordville for being the
"most wonderful customers in
the world" giving her the oppor-
tunity to serve in the best job in
the world.

Photo by Frank Thornton 0 L""
.5 C -
This week The Wakulla News wildlife photography feature includes three submissions from two
of our readers. Wakulla Middle School teacher Frank Thornton submitted the photograph of two
content horses enjoying life away from the hustle and bustle of the busy highways. He also took
time to capture a photograph of some of the winged beauty at Wakulla Springs State Park.
- Crawfordville residents John and Sandi Farrell submitted several wildlife photographs from
their backyard. We selected a serene shot of turkeys enjoying themselves with the knowledge that
Thanksgiving is many months away. The Farrells also submitted some bear shots from their property
that we did not use. Despite the bear wandering through their yard, the Farrells, like many Wakulla
County residents, pull out their camera because "we do enjoy our wildlife," said Sandi.
, Wakulla County has many talented photographers. Without question, one of the favorite spots
is the state owned Springs.
