Judge rules against county OFINTEREST


By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
The county's wetlands
ordinance is dead.
Wakulla Circuit Judge N.
Sanders Sauls reiterated his
earlier findings when he is-
sued a temporary injunction
against the county and, at a
hearing on Thursday, Aug. 27,
issued a permanent injunc-
tion and summary judgment
for the two families who
challenged it. He appeared to
also want to award attorney's

St. Marks

basin is

in plan
By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
A new Surface Water Im-
provement and Management
(SWIM) Plan for the St. Marks
River Watershed was presented
last week, and the plan has a
renewed emphasis on storm-
water treatment.
The SWIM Plan was pre-
sented at a public workshop at
the Northwest Florida Water
Management District's offices
in Midway on Tuesday, Aug.
11. About two dozen interested
citizens attended the meeting.
Paul Thorpe, director of the
district's Resource Planning
Section, noted that "Within
the watershed, we're not really
able to distinguish ground and
surface water." Because of the
karst plain, ground and surface
waters are interchangeable to
the point of being the same
thing.

Wetlands ordinance is dead


fees to the plaintiffs law-
yers, but one of the lawyers
wanted to file a brief on the
matter.
It still leaves another
count to be resolved dealing
with claims that the county
has not turned over public re-
cords related to the wetlands
cases, mostly focusing on
County Commission Chair-
man Howard Kessler's failure


to turn over the full text of
an e-mail and a disk of digital
photographs he took.
Kessler is scheduled for
deposition in September. He
has been issued a subpoena
duces tecum for that deposi-
tion, which requires him to
bring all relevant materials.
The court determined
that there were numerous
procedural flaws in the en-


actment of the wetlands
ordinance: problems with
the advertising, that it was
substantially changed before
its enactment, there was no
copy available to the public,
it was a land development
regulation that needed to go
through the planning com-
mission, and was submitted
late to the Secretary of State's
office.


Judge Sauls also expressed
displeasure at an earlier hear-
ing of the county issuing
unlawful cease and desist
orders to enforce the ordi-
nance.
A public hearing was ad-
vertised and held on the
proposed ordinance in April
2006. That hearing was
continued to May 1, 2006,
at which point it was ap-
proved.

Rescue crew members pulled the injured manatee out of the water and trucked her to Tampa,


Manatee succumbs to injuries


By KEITH BLACKMAR
kblackmar@thewakullanews.net
Despite the best efforts
of the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Com-
mission (FWC) and rescue
workers, a female manatee
that was found injured in
the St. Marks River last
week has died.


FWC spokesman Carli
Segelson said that pre-
liminary necropsy results
indicated that the manatee
died as a result of a water-
craft injury.
The FWC rescued the 8-
foot female manatee from
the St. Marks River shortly
after 1:30 p.m. Monday,


Aug. 24. Biologists rescued
the manatee and discov-
ered a watercraft-related
wound on its back.
The injured manatee
was captured and trucked
to The Manatee and Aquat-
ic Center at Tampa's Lowry
Park Zoo for treatment. The
manatee was undergoing
treatment when she died
Tuesday night, Aug. 25, ac-
cording to Rachel Nelson,
Director of Public Relations
for the zoo.
Nelson said the mana-
tee was taken to an FWC
lab in St. Petersburg for a
scientific analysis.
Nelson said the mana-
tee suffered "at least one
boat strike injury that was
visable."
The manatee suffered
from a punctured lung
which filled her body cavity
with air and did not allow
her to submerge. She was
also very weak when she


was rescued, said Nelson.
FWC spokesman Henry
Cabbage said the initial
distress call came in during
the morning of Saturday,
Aug. 22, from a citizen who
saw the injured manatee in
the Wakulla River near the
point where the Wakulla
and St. Marks rivers con-
verge.
On Aug. 24, FWC law
enforcement officers found
the animal near the mouth
of the St. Marks River, float-
ing on its side.
The officers waited with
the manatee until FWC
biologists and staff from
Jacksonville Zoo arrived.
The team loaded the
725-pound manatee into
a specially equipped boat
and transported it to a
waiting truck. By 2 p.m.,
the manatee was en route
to Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo
for rehabilitation.

Travel

expenses

of board

examined
By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
At a budget hearing a
couple weeks ago, Wakulla
County Commission Chair-
man Howard Kessler sug-
gested that the board con-
sider cutting travel paid for
out of ad valorem taxes,
which prompted a review
of what the board members
have spent on travel.
According to public re-
cords, it appears Kessler
spends more than any other
commissioner and has
spent over his allocation
for this year by more than
a $1,000.
So far this year, three
commissioners have spent,
combined, more than $7,500
on travel expenses:

After the denial of a
recent motion to freeze the
appeal of a wetlands case
until the case on the legal-
ity of the county's wetlands
ordinance is decided, it ap-
pears both sides have now

N. Sanders Sauls rejected
a motion on Monday, Aug.

Grant will help victims


Victim's Advocate
Program continues
Wakulla County Sheriff
David Harvey announced last
week that the Sheriff's Office
has been awarded a grant of
$103,133 to continue funding
the agency's Victim's Advocate
program. The grant, funded
by the Victim's of Crime Act,
is provided through Attor-
ney General Bill McCollum's
Office in recognition of the
WCSO commitment to provide
services to crime victims in
Wakulla County.
The Wakulla Sheriff's Office
established a victim's advocate
unit in 1999. The unit has two
full-time staff members, Laurie
Langston and Tina Brimner.
"These ladies spend many
hours responding to victims
of crimes or other stressful


and emotional situations,"
said Sheriff Harvey. "They
are valuable members of our
team." Langston and Brimner
are subject to being called and
respond 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.
Harvey added, "They also
donate personal time and their
own money to helping a num-
ber of victims and their fami-
lies throughout the year."
The goal of the unit is to
provide aid and comfort to
victims of crimes and fam-
ily members after a crime
has been committed or after
some other traumatic event.
Langston and Brimner average
working with approximately
50 victims or families per
month. Sometimes their ef-
forts involve putting victims
in contact with numerous


support or resource agencies,
obtaining professional services
such as financial or medical as-
sistance that can provide aid or
counseling, finding shelter for
victims of domestic violence,
delivering food, or just being a
shoulder to cry on. Many times
the victim's advocates at the
sheriff's office are integrally
involved with victims and their
families for a year or more.
"I am very pleased that
the Wakulla County Sheriff's
Office and its staff have been
recognized, by receipt of this
grant award, for efforts to
provide those most impacted
by any crime, some measure
of relief and comfort," Harvey
said.
Any citizen may contact the
Wakulla County Victim's Advo-
cate Unit by calling 926-0800.


Crew members prepare manatee for the journey.

Established in Wakulla County in 1895


Born to be



the President


By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
It's interesting to hear
"birther" arguments about
the supposed lack of qualifi-
cations for President Obama
to hold that office. One argu-
ment is that he wasn't born
in Hawaii, and so doesn't
qualify as a citizen. (Just
last month, the U.S. House
of Representatives passed
a bill to commemorate the
50th anniversary of Hawaii's
statehood and included the
phrase, for what it's worth,
"Whereas the President of
the United States, Barack
Obama, was born in Hawaii
on August 4, 1961." The vote
was 378-0.)
More interesting to me is
the argument that Obama
doesn't meet the criteria as a
"natural born citizen" of the
United States, as required in
the Constitution. "Natural
born citizen" is a term that is
not defined in the Constitu-
tion and the term's meaning
has never been clarified by
the Supreme Court. At the
time of the drafting of the
Constitution, John Jay wrote
to George Washington:
"Permit me hint, whether
it would be wise and sea-
sonable to provide a strong
check to the admission of
foreigners into the adminis-
tration of our national gov-
ernment; and to declare ex-
pressly that the Commander
in Chief of the American
army shall not be given to
nor devolve on, any but a
natural born citizen."
And so it was written into
Article Two of the Constitu-
tion:
"No person except a natu-
ral born citizen, or a citizen
of the United States, at the
time of the Adoption of


this Constitution, shall be
eligible to the Office of
President; neither shall any
person be eligible to that
office who shall not have at-
tained to the age of 35 years,
and been 14 years a resident
within the United States."
One interpretation of
"natural born" is of a child
born to parents who are
both U.S. citizens. Obama's
father was born in Kenya, a
colony of the United King-
dom at the time, and so
Obama could be viewed as
having dual American-Brit-
ish citizenship, but was not
"natural born."
Challenges to Obama's
eligibility have been dis-
missed in U.S. District Courts
for lack of standing.
Under such strict guide-
lines, it appears John Mc-
Cain was also not eligible
for the presidency. McCain
was born of two U.S. citizens
at Colon Hospital in Colon,
Panama, which was outside
the U.S.-controlled Panama
Canal Zone, and so was not
born on American soil. In
April 2008, the U.S. Senate
approved a resolution that
recognized McCain as being
a natural born citizen.
It appears that perhaps
neither of the major can-
didates on the 2008 ballot
were eligible.
After digging further, I
discovered that Chester A.
Arthur, who became presi-
dent when James Garfield
was assassinated in 1881,
may not have met the crite-
ria as a natural born citizen
either. His mother was an
American, but his father
was Irish and only became a
naturalized U.S. citizen years
after Arthur's birth. It was
also additionally claimed
that Arthur was born in
Canada, not the U.S.
The republic survived
Arthur's presidency and so,
presumably, it will hold to-
gether through the current
president.

Protect the writers

who stand up for truth


Editor, The News:
We should protect Ameri-
can journalism and protect
all American writers who
stand up for the truth. Our
nation should stand up
to any threat and protect
American journalists and
newspapers at once. The
power of newspapers are
a source of what is good
and true.
The freedom of the press
should be protected by law.
That is part of the Bill of
Rights which protects all
those who serve our nation
to protect the stars and


stripes forever and stand
up for truth, justice and the
American way.
We shall never let this
nation forget that the found-
ers of this great nation had
strong ways of defending
and protecting what is right
and true.
We shall regain this na-
tion's way of doing what
is right, not wrong, and we
will regain the respect of
all of our citizens. Journal-
ists must be stronger than
before.

Address private property rights


Editor, The News:
"Nor shall private property
be taken for public use, with-
out just compensation." This
phrase, contained in the fifth
amendment to the U.S. Con-
stitution, was deemed by our
Founding Fathers to be just as
fundamental to the protection
of our freedom and liberties as
the rest of the Constitution and
its amendments.
No meaningful solution
to the wetlands issue can be
reached without addressing the
private property rights of the
landowners of Wakulla County.
Certainly there are some wet-
lands that should be protected
by regulation, but a common
sense approach must be taken
- one that recognizes the rights
of land owners instead of at-
tempting to stop all growth and
development. We have just wit-
nessed the recent circus created
by bureaucrats and regulators
trying to enforce the present
Wetlands Ordinance in a way
that was never intended.
To adopt and attempt to
enforce a regulation on the
citizens and exempt yourself
from that regulation is pure
hypocrisy.
That is why the original wet-
lands committee specifically in-


cluded all county departments
in the ordinance.
There is no doubt that the
group now revising the wet-
lands ordinance was hand-
picked to produce the results
that Dr. Kessler and CCOW
have dictated.
The wishes of this special
interest group will be forced
upon all of us, just as surely as
the socialist agenda coming out
of Washington, DC, unless we,
the citizens, make our voices
(and votes) heard.
Commissioners, if you are
serious about solving the wet-
lands issue, I urge you to incor-
porate the following statement
as one of the leading clauses of
the ordinance:
The protection of wetlands
in Wakulla County is for the
benefit and good of the public
at large;
It is morally desirable that
all who share in this benefit
should also share in the cost
of the benefit;
No action shall be taken un-
der this ordinance which causes
a property owner to perma-
nently bear a disproportionate
share of a burden imposed for
the good of the public.
I'm not advocating that
the county buy all wetlands


FairTax is good plan


Editor, The News:
I'm writing to provide some
basic information in regard to a
fast growing grassroots move-
ment to reform our national
system of taxation. As a CPA,
I have always thought the
current system of taxation is
convoluted. Now, I'm doing
something about it.
The FairTax is a comprehen-
sive plan that replaces all fed-
eral income and payroll based
taxes with an integrated ap-
proach including a progressive
national retail sales tax, a "pre-
bate" to ensure no American
pays federal taxes on spending
up to the poverty level, dol-
lar-for-dollar federal revenue
neutrality, and the repeal of the
16th Amendment.
The plan was not developed
by politicians but rather by a
nonpartisan group of citizens
who saw the adverse effects
of our current system on our
nation's economy and decided
to see how it could be im-
proved. The movement began
in 1995 as a research organiza-
tion with the initial goals of
finding out how taxation could
be achieved in a way that most

Thanks to

Editor, The News:
The family of Ronnie Ow-
ens would like to thank all of
the emergency personnel who
responded in an efficient and
timely manner when they
were needed.
We would also like to thank
the boaters who assisted us
and the many friends, neigh-
bors and loved ones who
helped.
The Wakulla County Sher-
iff's Office, the Sopchoppy


benefited the economy and the
taxpayers.
As time passed, more and
more individuals joined the
movement, understanding the
obvious need for change. They
soon determined that revisions
to the current corrupted system
would never be sufficient. The
Internal Revenue Code, which
by that time had grown to more
than 67,000 pages (and still
growing), had become some-
thing that essentially no one
fully understood any longer.
Many diverse groups of
Americans participated in the
extensive polling and focus
group studies to develop the
objectives of the plan, and
then a nonpartisan team of
economists were commis-
sioned to develop the FairTax
plan. The organization today
has hundreds of thousands
of members and volunteers
nationwide, including me. The
organization supports sound
economic research, education
of citizens and community lead-
ers and grassroots mobilization
efforts.

The commission could start
by working to eliminate taxes,

to trespassers, on land taken or
restricted by regulation.

A message for Rep. Boyd Display the flag on Sept. 11


Editor, The News:
After attending the meet-
ing Aug. 25, I realized that
there are more people who
agree with my conservative
opinions than I realized as
this county seems to vote
democrat.
Look what the left has
done for this country. I felt-
that Congressman Boyd,
after 20 years dealing with
his constituents, knows how
to change the questions and
avoid direct questions so he
doesn't have to address an
issue that he knows will rile
up people.
Here, Congressman Boyd
is some down home, straight
forwardness that you didn't
get to hear Aug. 25.
1. Health care: Fix the cur-
rent Medicare, MedicaidVA,
and any other government
run program first before
you try another Welfare-
Health-care program. If you
can't, we don't need anymore
programs.
2. Illegals: I worked in the
sheriff's office, I saw them
come and go. I spoke to the
lawyers who came in to pro-
tect their rights, excuse me?
Illegals slither across my
border, take our jobs, march
down our streets, waving
their flag, making demands
on our politicians and the
politicians try every way they
can to cater to their needs
when politicians should be
catering to mine. I'm the
American citizen.
What's wrong with this


picture? Get them out of our
free health care to start and
our own care will work much
better.
I want to add, for any


Letters


person or family who wants
to come to America through
the front door, become an
American citizen and except
our Sovereignty, and our
way of life. Learn English
first, then I say "Welcome to
America."
If they don't want to do
that, we should round these
people up send them back to
where they came from. That
includes the women who
are illegal who give birth
here just for a Social Security
check.
3. Muslims: We have free-
dom of Religion. Not all Mus-
lims want to impose their
beliefs on America, but I will


never except Sharia Law, nor
will I ever except Muslim in-
fluence in our schools, in our
work place or in our culture.
They can live how they
want to, but this is America,
not France. They should
except our way of life here,
not the other way around.
My question is why would
Muslims want to come here
when our culture is so differ-
ent. They have an agenda.
It's not to experience the
American way of life.
4. My disappointment
in the Democratic Party: I
believe that over the years
there was a movement by
the Socialist/Communist
Party through the Democrats
to change this country. And
when I heard Obama say
that
"He was going to trans-
form this country." I became
sick to my stomach.
Why do we embrace Com-
munists here in America.
They live, work, and influ-
ence our children when we
send our military to other
countries to fight and die in
the name of freedom. Have
you got an answer for that?
5. Leave our CIA alone, let
them do their job. Or they
could give me the terrorists
and I'll get the information
they need, just don't ask me
how I got it.
Pray for America, we're
going to need it.

It will be bad if bill passes

a British citizen prevented
me from becoming an offi-
cer in the Marine Corps. as
I was selected for Officers
Candidate School. I clearly
stated I became a citizen in
1973, which was after I had
left the Marine Corps. I also
tried to bring the point of
how government health care
would be if the bill passed.
The doctors and staff at the
VA are overworked with
loads of patients, and it takes
time to see a doctor or have
problems fixed. This is not


what we have in the current
system. Yes, denial of certain
services are possible under
the government and treat-
ment can be delayed. This
is the point I was trying to
make, and I was comparing
a real government run health
care system to what we have
now,
I am under the firm con-
viction that most Americans
have no real idea how bad it
will be if this bill passes.

Thanks for protecting students


Editor, The News:
I would like to express
my thanks to the health de-
partment and to the school
district.
I am glad to see that in
the last week the health
department and the school
board have taken a more
pro-active approach to the
Swine Flu. Hand sanitizers


were provided for student
use at the Wakulla Middle
School and the sanitizers
are being used with teacher
supervision.
Teachers spoke to their
classes more than once and
used blackboards to remind
students of ways to protect
themselves and other stu-
dents from the flu.


Hopefully, these few
simple measures will make
a big difference in limiting
the spread of the Swine Flu
in our county.
Thanks go to everyone
for trying harder to keep
our students and teachers
safe.

Editor, The News:
On Friday, Sept. 11, an
American flag should be dis-
played outside every home,
apartment, office and store
in the United States.
Every individual should
make it their duty to dis-
play an American flag on
this eighth anniversary of
one of our country's worst
tragedies.
We do this to honor those
who lost their lives on 9-11,
their families, friends and
loved ones who continue to

Missing:

Editor, The News:
Last week, after spending
two hours answering ques-
tions about the proposed
national health care bill, U.S.
Rep. Allen Boyd was taken
back by the final question
that was asked by a member
of the large audience.
"Congressman, would you
vote for a health care bill that


endure the pain, and those
who today are fighting at
home and abroad to preserve
our cherished freedoms.
In the days, weeks and
months following 9-11, our
country was bathed in Amer-
ican flags as citizens mourn-
ed the incredible losses and
stood shoulder-to-shoulder
against terrorism. Sadly,
those flags have all but dis-
appeared.
Our patriotism pulled us
through some tough times
and it shouldn't take another


attack to galvanize us in soli-
darity. Our American flag is
the fabric of our country and
together we can prevail over
terrorism of all kinds
Fly an American flag of
any size on 9-11. Honestly,
Americans should fly the
flag year-round, but if you
don't, then at least make it
a priority on this day.
Thank you for your par-
ticipation. God bless you and
God bless Americal

you liked even if 75 percent
of your constituents were
opposed to it?"
The congressman im-
mediately responded with,
"How can you be sure the
figure would be 75 percent?
I don't like polls. I would
try to explain to them the
benefits of the bill."
The audience member


stated to the congressman
that it was a "yes or no"
question and then restated
the question again. This
time, Rep. Boyd said, "It's a
hypothetical question and I
don't answer hypothetical
questions!" Never mind con-
gressman you just did.

Give a WHOOP! for the cranes


Editor, The News:
Give a WHOOPI and Cel-
ebrate with OM.
We're writing to let you
know about a new and
fun campaign we have just
launched. It is called "Give a
WHOOP!"
As we migrate south this
fall with the Class of 2009 we
will mark the 10,000th mile
that Operation Migration
has flown leading Whoop-
ing cranes on their first
migration (somewhere over
Illinois).
To celebrate with us we
invite you to Give a WHOOPI


and show the world you care
about wildlife especially
Whooping cranes.
Our hope is to collect
an Honor Roll of 10,000
WHOOPS! one for each of
the 10,000 migration miles
we've flown. No mean feat,
after all, it's the equivalent
of flying halfway around
the world!
Give a WHOOP! and your
name could be drawn to re-
ceive one of more than 200
thank you gifts including:
a week's accommodation
in Fort Meyers Beach and a
5-day all expense paid Back-


Stage Visit for two with the

Cash for Clunkers not for everyone


Editor, The News:
There's been a lot of talk
about "Cash for Clunkers," but
for the majority of motorists,
purchasing a new car is not an
option. For many, their vehicle
does not qualify as a "clunker"
and for others, the cost of a new
car is prohibitive.


Those motorists who treat
their vehicles as valuable invest-
ments and commit to regular
vehicle maintenance end up
saving a lot of money. In fact,
according to Runzheimer Inter-
national, the difference in the
savings over a four year period
between keeping a car and


buying a new one is more than
$10,000. Even with the "Cash for
Clunkers" incentive, maintain-
ing your current vehicle is still
the best economic option.

remembers 9-11


courthouses on Sept. 11.
This will be a time to reflect
on the greatness of our na-

shortcomings, and to pray
for a spiritual awakening in

Log Creek


THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Sept. 3, 2009 Page 5A


Travel expenses


Continued from Page 1A
Unlike the Crum-Tuck-
er case, which has chal-
lenged the legality of the
wetlands ordinance on pro-
cedural grounds and which
prompted Judge Sauls to
issue a temporary injunction
against enforcement of the
ordinance, the Log Creek
case was determined by
the court to be dealing with
different issues, including a
claim that the ordinance is
being unfairly enforced.
Log Creek is a tract of
land in Spring Creek in
which there were mowing
activities around wetlands
and a number of mules were
allowed to forage.
The case presented to the
Code Enforcement Board
was that development ac-
tivities were occurring on
the land, including removal
of underbrush by mowing,
near to some ground de-
pressions, some of which
contained water, and were
determined by county staff
to be wetlands.
The intention of the wet-
lands ordinance is to protect
local water quality by creat-
ing a 75-foot buffer around
small wetlands of more than
1,000 square feet that are
not under the jurisdiction
of the state Department of
Environmental Protection
or the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers.
But the crux of the Log
Creek case is that the or-
dinance was supposed to
only apply to new develop-
ment, not to lots already
recorded.
The brief for Log Creek,
filed by Crawfordville at-
torney Robert Routa on
Monday, Aug. 17, quotes
Code Enforcement Board
member Kathy Shirah, who
was a member of the com-
mittee that wrote the ordi-
nance, said at the Log Creek
code hearing in April: "It
was intended to apply to
new developments, but
now were (sic) in a situa-
tion where I can see a lot of
property owners who own
property in areas adjacent to
wetlands that have mowed
their lawns forever and ever
are now in violation of this
ordinance."
And the violations in-
cluded the somewhat ab-
surd result, as Shirah noted,
that the county was in vio-
lation of its own ordinance
by performing maintenance


on Woolley Park in Panacea.
(In response to the county
being in violation, the coun-
ty Planning Commission
granted a blanket variance
to the county's roads and
park departments to allow
mowing and maintenance
activities on roads and parks
near wetlands.)
As for applying to new
development only, Routa
noted that at the hearing
the county witness was
shown four different lawns
abutting wetlands and was
asked if the mowing was in
violation of the wetlands
ordinance, to which she
answered it was.
The county's brief, filed
on July 31, claims the or-
dinance's language is not
ambiguous, in that the
text clearly provides that
no "clearing or construc-
tion activities" are allowed
within the wetland or the
wetlands buffer zones. The
brief, written by Rhonda
DiVagno of the Mowrey
law firm, which represents
the county, notes that at
the code hearing in April,
a neighbor who lives near
the property testified that
the land clearing consisted
of heavier equipment than
lawn mowers and string
trimmers, in that bush hogs
had been brought in to clear
underbrush.
In the Log Creek response,
Routa claims that there are
photographs in the record
indicating that that same
neighbor mowed right up to
the wetland, suggesting that
the ordinance is selectively
enforced and therefore un-
constitutional.
Another facet of the ap-
peal, which the county has
argued is irrelevant, is the
involvement of Commission
Chairman Howard Kessler.
On the day the violation
was reported to county staff,
Kessler forwarded an e-mail
from the Log Creek neigh-
bor to a list of his citizen
supporters. That e-mail in-
cluded "a derogatory state-
ment" about the Log Creek
owners Ft. Lauderdale-
based developers H. Collins
Forman, Jr. and M. Austin
Forman and a link to an
alternative newspaper's web
site that had stories critical
of the Formans.
Kessler's involvement in
reporting alleged violations
of the wetlands ordinance
has become a focus of both


pending court cases. In the
Crum-Tucker case, Kessler
sent an e-mail to county
staff about "massive viola-
tions" of the ordinance on
Panacea property owned
by Ronald Fred and Eloise
Crum. Kessler also took
pictures of the activities and
submitted those to staff as
documentary evidence.
Crum has claimed Kes-
sler's complaint against him
was politically motivated.
In response, he filed a com-
plaint alleging that Kessler
was violating the ordinance
by mowing around his wet-
land and staff issued a
cease-and-desist against
Kessler, too.
(Judge Sauls has found
that the cease and desist
letters issued by the county
were without any authority
in the law and added to con-
ditions of citizens having no
legal recourse in granting an
injunction.)
In the county's answer
brief, it's noted that only the
Code Enforcement Officer
can initiate an enforcement
proceeding. Therefore, it
argues, "any alleged animus
or catalyst that spurns (sic)
reporting the violation is
irrelevant."
One sidelight in the
briefs is Routa's response
to a legal cite in the county's
brief. The legal citation of
Cashatt v. State of Florida
is pointed to by the county
as supporting its argument
that statutes can only be
found unconstitutionally
vague if a person of normal
intelligence cannot under-
stand what is prohibited,
or it's written in such a way
that it permits arbitrary
or discriminatory enforce-
ment.
In the case cited, Cashatt
had appealed his conviction
on a statute that made it il-
legal for an adult to lure or
entice minor children into
sexual acts, contending the
law was unclear.
In the reply brief, Log
Creek's attorney responds to
the Cashatt citation, writing:
"Straying into the field of
criminal law, (the county)
cites Cashatt v. State of Flor-
ida ... for argument against
the allegation of vagueness
in the wetlands ordinance,"
which Routa concedes "does
not proscribe the luring of
children for the commission
of illegal acts."


St. Marks basin

The plan recognizes that
stormwater runoff is largely
believed to be the main
problem with water quality
in the area. "Water coming
off streets can be as dirty
or dirtier than water going
into a wastewater treatment
plant," he said.
A regional approach to
stormwater treatment is
being recommended in the
report, underscoring the
need to approach watershed
protection as a collaborative
effort among local govern-
ments, state agencies and
the public.
Wakulla Springs Ambas-
sador Cal Jamison noted
that the newest challenge
facing the spring is that
the water coming out of
the vent is now green. Dark
water at the spring brown
water, presumably from rain
and stormwater picking up
tannins in the forest has
been increasingly a problem.
But this is the first report of


green water.
Jamison noted that Lake
Munson, long the site of a
City of Tallahassee sewage
treatment facility, is "Camp-
bell's pea-soup green" with
visibility of about a foot,
with an iridescent green
algal bloom. The algae goes
down Munson Slough to
Eightmile Pond and is now
becoming visible at Ames
Sink. Those waters flow
directly to Wakulla Springs.
When it was noted that
nutrients and nitrates have
long affected water quality
at Wakulla Springs, encour-
aging algal blooms and
feeding invasive hydrilla,
Jamison responded, "Nutri-
ents don't directly change
the water." He insisted that
green water is coming out at
the spring, adding: "Some-
where there has got to be a
green source."
Even when Munson isn't
flowing, Wakulla Springs is
getting green water, Jamison
said.


Environmental consul-
tant Paul Johnson, a Craw-
fordville resident, on the
issue of local governments
working in collaboration,
noted that Wakulla and
Leon counties and the City
of Tallahassee are all work-
ing together on a septic tank
study.
Another resident, Elinor
Elfner of St. Marks, sug-
gested that what's needed
is change of perception in
the basin. Rainwater should
be looked at a resource from
above, not as stormwater
runoff to be treated. Green
roofs with local grasses can
use much rainwater and
the excess could go to flush
toliets, she suggested.
The plan is available on-
line at the district's web site,
nwfwmd.state.fl.us. Ques-
tions and comments on
the plan can be addressed
to Thorpe at Paul.Thorpe@

Commissioners George
Green and Mike Stewart
have not submitted any
travel costs for the current
year.
The budget for the cur-
rent fiscal year indicates
each commissioner was al-
located $2,500 for travel.
County Administrator
Ben Pingree said the travel
budget for the board was
set at $12,500 represent-
ing $2,500 per each of the
five commissioners but
it was a lump sum fund for
travel. In the 2009-10 budget
year that begins Oct. 1, each
commissioner will have a
$2,500 travel allowance to
pull from.
In the previous bud-
get year, there was no set


amount for travel and the
board spent more than
$17,000.
Green spent $2,912.30
for travel, including the No-
vember 2007 FAC Legislative
Conference in St. Augustine
for $905, the March 2008
Finance and Tax Seminar in
Orlando for $551, the April
2008 FAC County Govern-
ment Certification Program
in St. Augustine for $533,
and the June 2008 FAC An-
nual Conference in Miami
for $922.
Then-Chairman Ed Brim-
ner, who chose not to run
for re-election, spent $5,219
on travel, including a Sep-
tember 2007 FAC Policy
Conference in Gainesville
for $259, a November 2007
FAC Water Policy Working
Group meeting in Orlando
for $367, the November
2007 FAC Legislative Con-
ference in St. Augustine for

Washington, D.C. for $2,195,
the June 2008 FAC Annual
Conference in Miami for
$1,028, and the August 2008
FAC Annual Conference in
Amelia Island for $630.
Commissioner Kessler
spent more than $6,681 on
travel, which included, in
October 2007, the Jackson
Blue Spring Basin Work-
shop Group Meeting in
Chipola and the Hunter
& Angler Global Warm-
ing Presenter Training in
Orlando, and a seminar
in Orlando for Leadership
in Florida's Growth Atmo-
sphere for $475, in Novem-


ber 2007 he attended the
FAC Legislative Conference
with advanced county com-
missioner certification for
$483, program classes on
financial management in
January 2008 in Gainesville
for $167, the NACO Legisla-
tive Conference in February
2008 in Washington, D.C.
for $2,101, the Advanced
County Commissioner Pro-
gram Part II in Gainesville
for $167, the June 2008 FAC
Annual Conference in Mi-
ami for $956, the July 20008
NACO Annual Conference
in Kansas City, and in FAC
Policy Committee Confer-
ence in September 2008 in
Clearwater for $899.
(Commissioners Maxie
Lawhon and Brian Langston
reported no travel expenses
that year.)
Last year, Kessler ex-
pressed concern about
Brimner's expenditures on
the Washington trip for the
NACO Conference in which
Brimner chose to drive, rath-
er than fly, and charged a
per mile cost to the county.
At the time, Kessler indi-
cated he felt that was exces-
sive because airline tickets
were cheaper than driving,
and it prompted a change in
commissioner travel policy
which now requires them to
travel by the most inexpen-
sive means.
A comparison of expens-
es indicates that Brimner
only spent $94.50 more than
Kessler on that trip, while
Kessler spent nearly $1,500
more for the year on travel
than Brimner.


Judge rules


Continued from Page 1A
A copy of the ordinance
was eventually given to the
clerk of court's office on
May 11 state law requires
it be received by the secre-
tary of state within 10 days,
and it wasn't received until
May 16.
Between the April and
May meetings, the ordi-
nance was reworked and,
among its changes, was
that violations would not
just be subject to fines, but
also must mitigate damage
to wetlands.
In January 2009, Kessler
e-mailed Assistant County
Administrator Lindsay Ste-
vens, who oversees plan-
ning issues, to alert her to
"massive violations" of the
ordinance on the Panacea
property of Ronald Fred and
Eloise Crum. Kessler also
submitted a disk of photo-
graphs that he took of the
property and work on some
duck ponds the Crums were
constructing.
A cease and desist letter
was issued to the Crums,
and the matter went to the
Code Enforcement Board
where, before any violation
was formally determined
to have been committed,
Ronald Fred Crum agreed to
create a mitigation plan. The
mitigation plan was rejected
by staff and the Crums,
along with neighboring


property owners, Larry and
Patricia Tucker, who were
also found in violation for
a pond on their land, filed
the lawsuit challenging the
validity of the ordinance.
While Crum's case was
pending before the Code En-
forcement Board, he filed a
wetlands complaint against
Kessler, claiming the chair-
man was mowing within 75
feet of a pond on his prop-
erty. County staff issued a
cease and desist letter to
Kessler.
The matter appeared re-
solved when County At-
torney Ron Mowrey issued
a letter giving his opinion
that all three cases Crum,
Tucker and Kessler should
be dropped because all
three deal with artificial or
substantially altered wet-
lands that pre-date the 2006
ordinance.
Stevens issued an opin-
ion of her own, contraven-
ing Mowrey's, that said new
information had since been
received and directing staff
to continue with the charges
against Crum and Tucker,
but to drop the violation
against Kessler.
Crum hired attorney
Christopher Lunny of the
Tallahassee law firm Radey
Thomas Yon and Clark, and
the Tuckers hired attorney
David Kemp of the Don
Pumphrey Law Firm.


At a Code Enforcement
Board hearing, Kemp showed
the board a 2004 county per-
mit issued to the Tuckers for
pond maintenance as part of
his argument that the pond
pre-dated the ordinance.
Staff had received sat-
ellite maps that showed
the wetlands on the Crum
and Tucker property had
not been disturbed in May
2006. At a town hall meet-
ing, Eloise Crum questioned
the date of those maps,
since they also do not show
the Tuckers home on the
property, which was built
in 2004.
At the time the court
issued a preliminary injunc-
tion against the county, com-
missioners appointed a wet-
lands committee to review
the ordinance and suggest
changes. That committee's
work is continuing.
Commissioner Lynn Artz
was the only commissioner
at the Aug. 20 court hear-
ing.
County Attorney Ron
Mowrey commented af-
terwards that the county
disagreed with the findings
of the court but would abide
by the ruling. The commis-
sion can consider whether
to appeal the matter after
a final judgment is entered,
which would be after some
determination on the public
records issue.

Red Sox win, are Yankees next? Klees pleased
The Wakulla Red Sox, effort
newly formed age 10 and with grid effort
under travel baseball team,


competed in its first tourna-
ment the weekend of Aug.
15 in Tallahassee.
The team played in the
Mizuno Classic and placed
as the runner-up. After go-
ing 2-0 the first day, the Red
Sox fell to the Tallahassee
Heat 10U, 14-11 in Sunday's
championship game.
"What a way to start-
off as a team," parents an
coaches said. "Way to go
Wakulla Red Sox!"

Wakulla placed second in Mizuno Classic in Tallahassee,


Lady War Eagles win thrilling


opener against Tallahassee Chiles


By KEITH BLACKMAR
kblackmar@trhewakullanews.net
The Wakulla War Eagle football team dropped two halves
against Rickards and Leon Friday, Aug. 28 at Gene Cox
Stadium, 16-0 and 14-0 respectively. But Coach Scott Klees
was pleased with the preseason classic.
On the positive side, 46 players got into the game to
show coaches what they can do in game conditions. On the
negative side, Wakulla committed six turnovers.
"We got a good look at who can contribute," said Coach
Klees. "I was pleased with our young kids."
Klees circled the names of Fred Cummings, Kevin James
and E.J. Forbes at linebacker and running backs Forbes, Will
Thomas and Lorenzo Randolph as having good games.
"Both sides of the ball and special teams did well," he
said. "We made some mistakes, but if you play 46 kids,
you're going to make mistakes. For us, it's a glorified scrim-
mage. We've been blasted much worse at other spring and
fall jamborees, so I was pretty happy."
Deonte Hutchinson and Johnie Robinson handled the
quarterback duties at Gene Cox Stadium. But with several
practices before the season opener against Taylor County,
Klees declined to name a starter for Sept. 4 in Medart.
Taylor County is expected to be much improved from
their 2008 squad. Klees said some people have compared
the 2009 squad to their state championship team.
The game begins at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4 at J.D.
Jones Stadium and Reynolds Field.

The Wakulla Lady War
Eagle volleyball team opened
the 2009 season with a thrill-
ing three set to two victory
over Tallahassee Chiles in
Medart Monday, Aug. 31.
Wakulla won with scores
of 25-20, 25-17, 18-25, 22-25
and 15-13.
Both squads were evenly
matched as Wakulla fell
behind slightly in the first
game but came back to win
25-20.
Senior Artigua Kilpatrick
dominated with blocks in
the first game.


Wakulla won the second
game behind the steady
play of junior Sarah Roberts
junior who defended excep-
tionally well.
Wakulla appeared on the
way to victory but Chiles had
other ideas.
Despite a nine serve rally
by junior Logan Harvey to
keep WHS close, Wakulla
lost the third game to give
Chiles and gave the Lady
Timberwolves a glimmer of
hope.
Chiles continued to played
well while Wakulla momen-
tarily fell apart and lost the
fourth game.


But junior setter Tara Vat-
ter kept her composure all
night and made many smart
setting choices at critical
times.
In the last game, Wakulla
fell slightly behind but the
team finally took Coach Erica
Bunch's advice and settled
down to rally as a team and
play War Eagle volleyball.
Senior Kristin Mathers
stepped up her game to lead
the team in composure and
kills to take lead in the final
game.
The game ended on junior
Kara Smith's spike that Chiles
deflected out of bounds.


Mathers had 18 kills and
five aces. Kilpatrick had 12
kills and seven blocks. Sum-
mer Stokley had five kills
and five blocks. Vatter had 55
assists. Sarah Roberts had 18
digs and Logan Harvey had
five aces.
JV was close in Game 1
and had the lead as sopho-
more middle Emily Haley had
the best game of her career
with six blocks. Wakulla lost
Game 1 by a cose margin,
but Game 2 was all Chiles.
Wakulla heads to Orlando
for the KSA Events Tourna-
ment on Thursday, Sept. 3.

World's first Whooping Crane cam launched online


The Duke Energy Foundation
and Operation Migration Inc. are
proud to announce the launch
of the world's first Whooping
CraneCam.
On July 31, Operation Migra-
tion's CraneCam, sponsored by
Duke Energy, began streaming
live video and audio around the
world, offering watchers never-
before-seen views of one of the
world's most endangered birds,
the majestic Whooping crane.
With fewer than 400 wild
Whooping cranes in existence,
Operation Migration Inc. and the
Whooping Crane Eastern Partner-
ship are carrying out a reintroduc-
tion of these rare birds in Central
Wisconsin, which sees Operation
Migration use ultralight-aircraft to


teach the cranes how and where
to migrate.
Viewers can watch online as
Operation Migration's pilots and
crane handlers condition the juve-
nile Whooping cranes that form
the 'Class of 2009' for the biggest
adventure of their lives their
first migration. To tune in, visit
http://www.operationmigration.
org/crane-cam.html Come migra-
tion time (early to mid-October),
pending connectivity at remote
stopover locations, "Craniacs"
and online viewers will be able to
watch each morning's departure
as the cranes and planes make
their way south a journey of
over 1,200 miles. Because progress
is entirely weather dependant, the
journey from Wisconsin to Florida


can take between 60 to 90 days to
complete. The CraneCam will also
deliver views of the Class of 2009
in their travel pen at the conclu-
sion of each migration flight leg.
On completion of the migration,
the CraneCam will be set up
at Florida's St. Marks National
Wildlife Refuge to provide an un-
precedented opportunity to watch
the young Whooping cranes as
they mature over the winter. The
CraneCam will offer online view-
ers a ringside seat to witness their
"soft release" into the wild. Duke
Energy, sponsor of Operation
Migration's CraneCam and one
of the largest energy companies
in the USA, serves four million
customers in the Carolinas and
the midwest. The company has a


distinguished record of support
for endangered birds, including
significant support for habitats
and the wildlife that depend on
them.
"We join with environmen-
tal groups such as Operation
Migration to protect our natural
resources because the company
can accomplish far more in part-
nership than alone," said Julie
Griffith with the Duke Energy
Foundation. "We saw this project
as an opportunity to reach people
who might not otherwise be
aware of this critically endangered
species."
Poised to realize an avian and
aviation milestone, Operation
Migration kicked off a "Give a
WHOOP!" campaign in conjunc-


tion with the launch of the
CraneCam.
While leading its ninth gen-
eration, the Class of 2009, on this
fall's migration south. Operation
Migration will log its 10,000th
air-mile with young Whooping
Cranes following its aircraft to
learn a migration route. The
landmark 10,000th air-mile the
equivalent of flying almost half-
way around the world! will be
flown somewhere over Illinois.
People worldwide are asked to
"Give a WHOOP!" with a goal of
collecting an Honor Roll of 10,000
WHOOPSI one for each of the
10,000 migration miles Operation
Migration has flown with endan-
gered Whooping Cranes following
its ultralights.


Local couple's son featured on cover of FSU magazine


By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
Justin Kramer, son of Kim and
Teresa Kramer of Wakulla County,
was featured on the cover of the
August issue of Florida State Times
for his work on a solar-powered
house on campus.
The Off-Grid Zero Emissions
Building (OGZEB) was designed
and built by researchers with the
university's Energy and Sustain-


ability Center. Kramer, a graduate
of the Florida A&M-FSU College of
Engineering, was project manager
for the building, and wrote his
master's thesis on sustainable
energy engineering with a focus
on OGZEB.
The building is designed so that
it's energy needs are self-sustain-
ing, with solar panels on the roof
capturing energy for the house's
electrical needs with excess pow-


er stored in a hydrogen system. So
OGZEB is off the electricity grid.
Kramer explains in the story
how the hydrogen storage system
works and is quoted as saying, "It's
a very cyclic and clean system. The
only byproduct coming out of the
fuel cell is water vapor."
The house also uses new tech-
nology to allow hydrogen com-
bustion in appliances, such as the
custom-fitted, hydrogen-burning


Viking stove,
"The entire combustion technol-
ogy was developed here at Florida
State," Kramer told the magazine,
"We researched hydrogen combus-

break. Tonight's meeting of
the Wakulla County Geneal-
ogy Group will be held at
the Museum and Archives

chives. The Historical So-
ciety's Board will meet at


5 p.m. in the same room
before the general meeting.
In the two years I've lived
down here I'm continuingly
amazed by the importance
that Wakulla's citizens place
upon their history. Please
take advantage of these two
great organizations to con-
tinue this tradition.

Medart third graders receive dictionaries Florida A & M


On Tuesday, Aug. 25,
the Independent Telecom-
munications Pioneers Club
presented third graders at
Medart Elementary School
with dictionaries.
The members of the
ITPA Club are active and re-
tired telecommunications
employees.
There are clubs through-
out the state and across
the country that work on


various projects to benefit
numerous communities.
The ITPA Club devotes
much time and money to
education.
They have sponsored
the third grade dictionary
project as a state and na-
tional project for several
years.
The students were very
excited and truly appreci-
ate the heart-felt gift.

Register for October ACT examination


Registration is now open
for the Oct. 24 ACT achieve-
ment test. Students who
wish to take the college
admission and placement
exam must register before
Sept. 18.
The ACT is a curriculum-
based achievement exam.
It tests what students have
actually learned in school,
not their aptitude for learn-
ing. The ACT also measures
what students need to know
to be ready for entry-level
college-credit courses based
on ACT College Readiness
Standards.
The ACT has four sec-
tions: English, mathematics,
reading and science, and
takes about three hours to


complete. Students who
take the ACT Plus Writing
complete an optional writ-
ing test that requires an ad-
ditional 30 minutes. Unlike
other exams, students are
not penalized for guessing or
answering all the questions
on each test section. In fact,
it is beneficial for test tak-
ers to answer all questions
within the time allowed.
During registration, stu-
dents may select up to four
universities to receive their
score reports. ACT scores
are accepted by all four-year
colleges and universities
across the United States. ACT
reports scores only when
requested to do so by the
student. Additional score


reports are available for a
small fee.
All students complete a
detailed inventory of ques-
tions during ACT registra-
tion. Each test taker receives
an ACT score report that
includes a wide variety of
information to assist with
high school course selection,
college readiness, career
planning, and college admis-
sions.
The cost for the ACT test
without writing is $32. When
combined with the optional
ACT Writing Test, the total
cost is $47. Students who
qualify may apply for a fee
waiver through their high
school counselor.
The ACT web site, www.


actstudent.org, has helpful
information, free sample
items, and options to order
inexpensive test prep mate-
rials to assist test takers get
ready for the exam.
However, the best prepa-
ration is to take rigorous
core courses in school, study
hard, and learn the academic
skills needed in college.
Most students register on-
line at www.actstudent.org.
Students may also pick
up registration forms from
their high school counseling
offices; these forms must be
postmarked by Sept. 18. Late
registration is available from
Sept. 19 to Oct. 2 for an extra
$21 fee.


TCC enrollment continues to surge


Just four days into the
Fall 2009 semester, Tallahas-
see Community College has
surpassed one enrollment
milestone and has its eyes
set on another.
According to a report re-
leased by TCC on Thursday,
the number of students reg-
istered for courses leading to
a degree or workforce certifi-
cation through the first three


days of the fall semester
stood at 14,177 a 5.5 percent
increase from last year at
the same time (13,441). Even
more impressive is that the
current number of students
registered has already sur-
passed that of the entire Fall
2008 semester (14,163).
According to TCC Presi-
dent Bill Law, the College's
enrollment may actually


reach 15,000 once express
sessions begin September
9 (Fall C) and October 15
(Fall B).
"Despite the continuing
budget stress in the state,
we've managed to keep the
doors open for those who
need additional education
or workforce preparation,"
said Law. "TCC's faculty and
staff have our great thanks


for their commitment and
flexibility."
TCC is continuing to reg-
ister students for its fall
express sessions.
Students can register for
class online at TCCPassport.

sion to TCC, log on to www.

Tafflinger Road not

within platted ROW


By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
In a survey prior to paving
Tafflinger Road, it was discov-
ered that the existing dirt road
is not located within the right
of way depicted on plats for
Magnolia Gardens and Grein-
er's Addition subdivisions.
County staff has indicated
an intent to relocate Tafflinger
to its proper right of way loca-
tion.
In March, county commis-
sioners approved a transfer of
funds so that Tafflinger Road
could be paved. The dirt road,
off Rehwinkel Road, receives
heavy traffic from residents of
Magnolia Gardens and Greiner's
Addition, and requires constant
maintenance by county road
crews to grade the road so that
it's passable.
One problem found on the
survey, which was performed
by Edwin Brown and Associ-
ates, is that the platted right-
of-way in Magnolia Gardens


is 50 feet wide, while that in
Greiner's Addition is 45 feet
wide, and the last 120 feet of
Tafflinger up to its intersection
with Rehwinkel, the right of
way is only 30 feet.
In a staff report prepared for
the county commission's Sept
8 meeting it was noted that
the "western-most portion of
right-of-way on the Magnolia
Gardens plat lines up the east-
ern-most rights of way on the
Greiner's Addition subdivision
plat. Because of this misalign-
ment, the maintained road is
not located completely within
the platted right of way."
Because it doesn't line up,
the road encroaches on seven
lots within Greiner's Addition.
The next step is do relocate
the road and to move any
utilities into the platted right of
way. Staff anticipates the coor-
dination work with the utility
providers will begin sometime
this month, according to the
report.


The Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Com-
mission (FWC) wants to hear
from hunters around the
state regarding "when" they
think the white-tailed deer
rut happens in their neck of
the woods.
The FWC, along with its
deer management stake-
holder group, is considering
making possible changes to
Florida's deer hunting zones
and corresponding season
dates.
The first goal of the "Stra-
tegic Plan for Deer Manage-
ment in Florida 2008-2018"
is to manage deer at a more
local level and better align
hunting season dates with


peak rutting (breeding) ac-
tivity.
The FWC has deer-breed-
ing information from many
counties and several of its
wildlife management areas,
but there are gaps in the
biological data.
The deer management
stakeholder group would
like to obtain rut informa-
tion from hunters to try and
close gaps in the data.
The agency recognizes
the value of local knowledge
and is asking hunters who
are familiar with when the
deer rut historically occurs
in the areas where they hunt
to fill out an online survey.
The FWC would like to

NOTICE OF MEETING

The Wakulla County Board of County
Commissioners will hold a Public Hearing on
October 6, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. at the Commission
Chambers, 29 Arran Rd., Crawfordville, FL;
Purpose of Meeting:
To Consider to Re-Adopt an Ordinance of Wakulla
County, Florida, providing for the protection of
wetlands within the unincorporated area of Wakulla
County; establishing application and processing
procedures; providing design standards and
administration procedures; establishing fines and
penalties; providing for an effective date.
If a person decides to appeal any decision made by the board,
agency, or commission with respect to any matter considered at
such meeting or hearing, he or she will need a record of the
proceedings, and that, for such purpose, he or she may need to
ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, which
record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal
is to be based.
Any handicapped, visually or hearing impaired person or any non-
English speaking person needing special assistance should contact
the Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners' Office at
(850) 926-0919 or TDD (850) 926-1201.
September 3, 2009


take this information to
compare hunters' percep-
tions of the rut with scien-
tifically known conception
data.
During rutting periods,
bucks are more active during
daylight (shooting) hours
and often less cautious, mak-
ing the chances of seeing
them in the field better.
"Deer hunters want to
hunt during the rut, and
we want to be able to share
comprehensive information
about when the rut occurs
with the hunting public,"
FWC biologist and deer team
coordinator Cory Morea said.
"We realize a lot of hunters
know when the rut happens


in their area, and we want
to take this information and
compare it with our concep-
tion data to see if they are
similar. It would be great to
be able to use any new data
to help fill in the holes in
what we already know."
"At the very least, we
think there is value in know-
ing what hunters perceive as
the peak of the rut where
they hunt," Morea said.
To fill out the deer rut
survey, see the latest up-
dates on proposed deer
zones and season dates or
to comment on these poten-
tial changes, go to MyFWC.

Two day farmer's workshop slated


FAMU Statewide Small Farm
Programs, Crescent Moon Or-
ganic Farm and the Josephine
Porter Institute for Applied Bio-
dynamics have worked together
to provide an intensive two
day workshop and farm tour
focusing on improving farm
sustainability by enhancing
farm agro-ecosystems.
This participatory workshop
on applied biodynamic farming
will feature hands-on training
by farmer Hugh Courtney, inter-
national educator, biodynamic
practitioner, and director of the
Josephine Porter Institute for
Applied Biodynamics, Check,
Va.
JPI's efforts are concentrated
in the areas of biodynamic
agriculture, horticulture and
forestry. Biodynamic agriculture


is practiced on farms around
the world. Most biodynamic
farms are located in Europe,
the United States, Australia, and
New Zealand.
Several local small farms
also practice biodynamic farm-
ing. Biodynamic agriculture is
an advanced organic farming
system that is gaining increased
attention for its emphasis on
food quality and soil health.
Farmers' Knowledge
During this two day hands-
on workshop and local farm
tour, Hugh Courtney, will dis-
cuss the success of biodynamic
farming on his farm, benefits of
biodynamic farming, show how
to make biodynamic compost,
seed preparations, and hands-
on implementation of biody-
namic principles. Courtney will


show how biodynamic farming
improves soil health, food qual-
ity, crop and animal well-being
and farm sustainability.
The First Learning Session
will provide an overview of bio-
dynamic farming principles and
movie "How to save the world",
by Peter Proctor, New Zealand
biodynamic practitioner.
Second Learning Session
will provide hands-on training
in biodynamic principles, com-
post making, planting calendar,
spray preparations, etc.
Literature from the Jose-
phine Porter Institute will also
be available during workshop
hours.

THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Sept. 3, 2009 Page 11A


Western trip was great, but it's nice to be home


From The Dock
BY CAPT. JODY CAMPBELL


What a vacation I just
got back from! We flew into
Las Vegas, rented a car and
went to Kanab, Utah where
we stayed for eight nights.
We toured all the National
Parks in the area and all
the state parks. We rented
a boat on Lake Powell, road
ATVs for a day, saw old In-
dian sites, saw the original
set for Gunsmoke, toured
the North Rim of the Grand
Canyon and went to Hoover
Dam on Lake Mead. We saw
longhorn sheep, antelope,
mule deer, jack rabbits and
plenty of wild turkeys. The
most interesting wildlife
was a roadrunner that we
saw crossing the road. I had
never seen one except on
television that was always
running from the coyote.
We saw a temperature swing
from 32 degrees on the way
to the Grand Canyon to
105 degrees back in Kanab.


They say since there is no
humidity it doesn't feel as
hot. Believe me it was hot,
you just didn't sweat. Of
course you can't go on vaca-
tion and not go fishing. We
went to Navajo Lake near
Duck Creek, Utah and caught
about 30 rainbow and brook
trout. It was a great place
to visit, but I don't think I
would like to live out there.
They said they didn't catch
redfish out there.
So much for the trip. As
you know, Mike Hopkins
has closed his doors, but the
boat ramp is still open. The
closest gas is either in Pana-
cea, Sopchoppy or Carrabelle
so don't go there expecting
to fill up your boat or truck.
Capt. Terry Caruthers who
guides out of that area will
start giving me reports from
that area. He fished yester-
day with the Willis Party
from Cairo and they came


in with seven trout, three
reds and a box full of Span-
ish. The trout were caught
in eight feet of water on live
pinfish under a Cajun Thun-
der. Terry said he was fishing
the pinfish about four feet
under the cork. Two of the
trout were about 23 inches,
If you want to catch Spanish,
take a 120 heading off the
East End of Dog Island and
start looking for the birds.
Spanish have been known
to hit a number of different
type lures and Terry said he
used a half ounce gray and
white Rooster Tail, which is
a freshwater bait for bass
and bream. You won't find
any at Wal-Mart because he
said he bought all they had.
Offshore fishing seems to
be best in 70 feet or deeper.
The OAR Reef off Carrabelle
is covered with big red snap-
per, but you'll have to put
them back. Terry guides
out of Lanark and can be
reached at (850) 251-8871 for
a charter.
Tammy at Jerry's Bait
and Tackle said they have
opened a deli at the store
so you can stop and get a
sandwich with your shrimp
on the way to St. Marks. Otto


Hough, Jody Kilgore, Steve
Tucker and Carl Stubbs went
out of St. Marks and came in
with some nice grouper and
flounder. Casey Cook and
Jay Evans won the last trout
fishing tournament with five
trout weighing 12 pounds
and one-half ounce. Steve
Tucker and Jody Kilgore fin-
ished second with 12 pounds
of trout and Steve Taylor and
Steve Waldrip finished third
with five trout weighing
11 pounds, 6 ounces. Gary
Droze won the big redfish
pot with a 7 pound, 1 ounce
red,
Capt. Randy Peart who
guides out of the Aucilla,
Econfina and St. George in
the summer will also start
giving me reports. Last week
he took Michael Smith and
his two sons and they caught
a box full of Key West grunts,
sea bass and trout and had
one oversize red. Due to
bad weather a trip with
Dr. Marcus Willett was cut
short but they managed to
catch some nice trout and
reds on top water and gold
spoons. Randy said he was
off Alligator Point checking
out some numbers and saw
lot of bait and mackerel and


small kings feeding on them.
The water temperature has
dropped moving some trout
into the shallow water and
there are lots of reds along
the shoreline and rock piles.
Some mackerel and blues are
on the flats and a few tarpon
have been seen. The rocks
in 10 to 20 feet of water are
holding plenty of small co-
bia. Randy can be reached for
a charter at (850) 421-8049.
Alan Hobbs at Shell Is-
land Fish Camp said fishing
is picking up but you better
fish deep. One customer
went out Saturday and he
said go to the Number 8
post (off Graymare Rock),
take a 120 heading until you
get to 10 feet of water and
start fishing. Use a gulp on
the bottom and drag it very
slowly. He said they came in
with five real nice trout. Alan
said starting Friday they
would have live shrimp.
Capt. Luke Frazier, who
used to work at Advantage,
has now started working at
AMS in Medart. He and Capt.
Kent Taylor will be working
in the little wooden building
next to the main building
and will be selling bait and
tackle. They have two large


shrimp tanks and hope to
start carrying pinfish and
mud minnows as well as
shrimp. They will open at
5:30 a.m. and look forward
to seeing some of the folks
that used to stop by Advan-
tage. Luke said he has been
catching lots of nice trout
and some big reds off the
Clam Bar at the mouth of
the Ochlockonee River. He
was catching the trout on a
white Gulp under the Cajun
Thunder and some big reds
on top water baits. He also
caught quite a few nice
pompano.
Don't forget about the
Fishing for A Cure, Kingfish/
Grouper Shootout to find a
cure for Leukemia. The tour-
nament dates will be Sept.
26 Sept. 27 with a captains
meeting on Friday, Sept. 25
at C Quarters in Carrabelle.
For more information you
can call Mary at 697-8400.
Water temperatures are
dropping and we're coming
into a great time of the year
for fishing. Remember to
leave that float plan with
someone and know your
limits.
Good luck and good fish-


Watershed protection focus of St. Marks River Plan update


Water resources of the
St. Marks watershed are
expected to benefit from ac-
tion taken by the Northwest
Florida Water Management
District Governing Board
on Aug. 27. The Governing
Board held a public hear-
ing and approved a draft
plan that updates strategies
for sustaining watershed
resources and ecosystems
from Lake Miccosukee to


Apalachee Bay. The St Marks
River Watershed Surface
Water Improvement and
Management Plan Update
2009 will now be submitted
for review by state agencies
and local governments be-
fore final approval.
"A decade of achieving
watershed priorities and
building upon proven strat-
egies for water resource
protection and restoration


provided the basis for this
update," said Douglas E. Barr,
District Executive Director,
Accomplishments include
a District study of nutrient
sources to Wakulla Spring,
which helped lead to state
and local investment in
advanced wastewater treat-
ment and water reclamation
facilities and construction of
stormwater treatment facili-
ties. Stormwater treatment


continues to be a priority as
does protection of some 51
springs and their ground-
water contribution areas, as
identified through a District
inventory. Other plan priori-
ties include an assessment of
estuarine freshwater needs,
habitat restoration and edu-
cation and outreach.
"Significant challenges
remain," said Paul Thorpe,
Director of the District's


Resource Planning Section,
"Further progress will require
continuing collaboration
among local governments,
state and regional agencies
and the public."
A public workshop was
also held at the District,
Aug. 11, drawing more than a
dozen concerned citizens.
Watershed protection,
Wakulla Spring and low
impact development were


discussed after District staff
presented their update.
Several attendees stressed
the importance of public ed-
ucation about best manage-
ment practices for residents
and information about low
impact development tech-
niques for contractors and
developers.
The draft plan may be
accessed at www.nwfwmd.
state.fl.us.


Deer hunting input requested by FWC


North Florida deer hunt-
ers are encouraged to attend
a public meeting from 6
p.m. to 8 p.m. Sept. 15 at
the Antique Car Museum
in Tallahassee to share their
thoughts about possible
changes to the state's deer
hunting zones and sea-
sons.
The museum is located at
6800 Mahan Dr.
The Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Com-
mission (FWC) is consider-
ing changes to the deer
hunting zones and seasons
as part of its deer manage-
ment strategic plan and in
response to discussions
earlier this summer with
deer hunters.
The meeting is an oppor-
tunity for the public to learn
about possible changes
and share their views with
agency staff.
The meeting will feature
a presentation on the latest
agency proposal, followed
by a question-and-answer
session. The FWC is using



SVisit Our


deer chronology breeding
data, along with hunter
and stakeholder input to
draft anticipated changes to
hunting zones and seasons.
The FWC has deer-breed-
ing information from most
North Florida counties and
several wildlife manage-
ment areas, but there are
gaps in the data. Hunter
input on the rut may help
close the gaps.
Commission staff rec-
ognizes the value of local
knowledge and is asking
hunters who know when
the rut occurs in their area
to fill out an online survey.


The information will be
used to compare hunters'
perceptions of the rut with
scientifically known concep-
tion data.
During rutting periods,
bucks are more active dur-
ing the daylight and less
cautious, improving hunters'
chances of seeing them in
the field.
"Deer hunters want to
hunt during the rut, and
we want to be able to share
comprehensive informa-
tion with hunters about
when the rut occurs," FWC
biologist and deer team co-
ordinator Cory Morea said.


"We realize a lot of hunters
know when the rut happens
in their area, and we want
to take this information and
compare it with our concep-
tion data, to see if they are
similar."
To see the latest updates
on proposed deer zones
and season dates, and to
comment on the potential
changes, go to MyFWC.
com/Deer and fill out the
rut survey.

On Saturday, I attended
the Community Memorial
held at the Wakulla River
Park in St. Marks for the late
Karen Tully.
It was a gorgeous day sit-
ting there in the newly built
shelter with soft breezes
blowing in off the river. The
number of people gathered
there was indeed a tribute
to this woman who had
touched the heart and lives
of so many.
Naturally, I first knew her
as a part of the staff at The
Wakulla News.
Then we served on the Big
Bend Hospice Advisory Board
together. But most important,
we were friends and shared
many memories.
Everywhere she went she
willingly gave of her time and
effort to assist those who
needed help.
We often shared the same
friends and they also came to
honor Karen's memories.
As I sat there visiting a
very attractive lady asked,
"Do you remember me?" I
did, but I couldn't remember
her name. "Diane Winzler,"
she told me.
Immediately in my mind's
eye I saw a long time ago


entry in Panacea's Blue Crab
Festival parade. There on the
bow of a Coast Guard Auxil-
iary boat was a gorgeous gal
in a bathing suit.
Ah yes, Diane Winzler, you
did indeed draw the crowd's
attention to the Auxiliary's
entry.
For Flotilla 13 at Shell
Point, it was a mostly quiet
week, but Saturday was dif-
ferent. Bob Wells and Barbara
Vagenas, QE from Flotilla 19,
Panama City, came over to our
Shell Point Auxiliary Station
to requalify Richie Calhoun as
an Auxiliary Coxswain.
Every three years all per-
sonnel involved in Opera-
tions must go for a "Check
Ride" with a Qualified Ex-
aminer in the boat crew pro-
gram from another flotilla.
QE's are not permitted to
qualify members of their own
flotilla.
The testing requires two
Auxiliary vessels as tested
members must show his/
hers ability to perform all
listed tasks.
Aboard our first vessel,
AMMA, were James Taylor as
Coxswain and Glenn Edring-
ton as crew. And our guests.
Jim McGill was Coxswain

of the HELEN B, with Todd
Acker, John Edrington, Bob
Morgan and Ron Piasecki
crewing.
It was indeed a busy day,
but very productive.
With Labor Day weekend
coming up, it is a good time
to remind boaters of "No-
No's" about pollution and the
laws that control it,
1. When fueling, remem-
ber your ABC's, always moni-
tor your fueling operation.
Block spill access to the
water with buckets, sorbet
pads and rings.
Clean up your spills im-
mediately with sorbent ma-
terial.
Don't top off your tank.
Only fill to 90 percent capac-
ity.
Equip your vessel with
fuel/air separators and whis-
tling vents.
WARNING: It is illegal to
discharge oil or hazardous
substances into U.S. waters,
You can incur a substantial
civil penalty for each incident,
regardless of the amount
spilled.
Report oil spills to the
National Response Center,
1-800-424-8802 or to the U.S.
Coast Guard on Channel 16,


VHF/FM radio.
Here is another one to
report to the National Re-
sponse Center (see above.)
2. Prevent water pollution
by keeping your bilges ocean.
Never drain engine oil into
the bilge. Repair engine and
tank leaks immediately. Dis-
able automatic bilge pumps
while completing repairs.
Ensure all oil is removed from
bilge before discharging. Al-
ways dispose of used oil at an
approved waste reception.
You are responsible for
any pollution from your
vessel, including fines and
cleanup costs.
3. Warning: The use of
soaps or other dispersing
agents to dissipate oil is
more harmful to the marine
environment than if the oil
had been left alone.
Use of these agents with-
out permission of the Cap-
tain of the Port is against the
law. You may be fined $32,500
dollars for each incident. (33
C.F.R. 153.305)
As previous stated, report
all types of oil spills to the
National Response Center,
1-800-424-8802 or to the U.S.
Coast Guard on Channel 16,
VHF/FM radio.


And now Carolyn Brown
Treadon's report of Flotilla
12 at St Marks.
It was a quiet week for
her flotilla, but they, too,
were making plans for Labor
Day Weekend. Steve Hults,
our Flotilla Staff Officer for
Vessel Examinations will be
holding a Ramp Day at the
Fort on Saturday, Sept. 5. Any
interested boater can ask one
of our vessel examiners for a
free vessel exam.
When we inspect a boat,
we are looking for the re-
quired safety equipment and
documentation,
Things such as proper
numbering, registration pa-
perwork, life jackets, visual
distress signals (a way to see
you if you get into trouble),
fire extinguishers, some sort
of sound producing device,
proper lights and the overall
condition of your boat.
An important side note
on life jackets, they need to
accessible and not wrapped
in plastic,
You also need one per
person on your boat as well
as an extra, just in case. The
jackets also need to be the
proper size for the people on
your boat.
Florida law is that all chil-


dren under the age of 6 wear
a life jacket whenever the
boat, 26 feet in length and
smaller, is moving,
There are also some sug-
gested items that we will
check for you as well includ-
ing a radio, capacity plate,
anchor and anchor lines, a
way to bail water if needed
and a first aide kit of some
kind.
Our job in doing a ves-
sel examination is to help
you be safe when out on
the water and to have the
required items should you get
in trouble. If you have all the
items that we are looking for,
then you will receive a sticker
to display on your boat.
If not, we will talk about
what is missing and offer to
re-inspect your boat when
you get what is missing.
But we will not report it to
anyone.
Due the holiday weekend,
members of Flotilla 12 opted
to move their regular meeting
to Sept. 12 at 10 a.m.
We will hold the meeting
at our regular meeting spot,
the Crawfordville Fire Depart-
ment.
Remember Safe Boating Is
No Accident.


Sopchoppy budget hearing is held


By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
Sopchoppy City Commis-
sioners held the first of two
hearings this week on the
city's proposed 2009-10 bud-
get, which includes a general
budget for city operations of
$220,500 and a budget for the
city's water department of $1.3
million.
The budget hearing was
held Monday, Aug. 31 at city
hall. The final budget hearing
is set for Sept. 14.
The city's water department
is projected to generate $1.2


million from water sales. Other
sources of revenue include
$85,000 from connections,
$28,000 from penalties, plus
another $28,000 for administra-
tion fees.
Expenditures from the wa-
ter budget include $319,000
for salaries, and more than
$104,000 for payroll taxes, re-
tirement, and health insurance
for employees. Contract ser-
vices and professional contract
services account for $70,000 in
expenditure with an additional
$40,000 budgeted for legal and
accounting costs.


The budget also includes
$112,900 for loan repayment
to the State Revolving Fund,
and $75,000 for chemicals and
supplies.
In the city's general budget,
the biggest source of revenue
is a state recreation grant of
$100,000 for a tennis park. The
old tennis courts in the city
had fallen into disrepair, and
weren't even regulation size.
City Commissioner Richard
Harden pursued grant funding
to renovate the courts in an
effort to add more recreational
opportunities for citizens.


Escape to Nature


State revenue sharing for
$33,000 in revenues, franchise
fees another $25,000, and
utility tax brings in $20,000.
Fees for use of the Myron B.
Hodge Sopchoppy River Park
add $12,000 to the city coffers,
followed by the 1/2-cent tax at
$11,686, and the Fourth of July
Fund from the city's annual
Independence Day celebration,
which has $7,000.
Besides the grant for tennis
courts, the other expenditures
in the city's budget are $25,000
for planning costs.

St. Marks Refuge will host Coastal Cleanup Day


Volunteers Needed to clean up
St. Marks Refuge Sat. Sept. 19
As summer draws to a close, St.
Marks National Wildlife Refuge is
pleased to announce the 24th An-
nual Coastal Cleanup and Aware-
ness Day.
From modest beginnings, the
St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge
Coastal Cleanup has grown into a
major annual event, coordinated by
refuge staff and volunteers.
Last year, more than 500 volun-
teers lent a hand to clean up litter
and marine debris from the shores,
lakes and rivers in the Big Bend of
Florida, from the Aucilla River to


Ochlockonee Bay.
Support marine protection and
education and join refuge officials
at St. Marks National Wildlife Ref-
uge on Saturday Sept. 19 for the
24th annual Coastal Cleanup and
Awareness Day.
The event is part of the Interna-
tional Coastal Cleanup held glob-
ally to examine sources of marine
trash to identify solutions.
Cleanup registration will run
from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Refuge
Visitor Center, 1255 Lighthouse Rd.
Cleanup volunteers who return to
the Visitor Center with trash will
receive a ticket for a complimen-


tary T-shirt and lunch as long as
supplies last.
This year, all visitors will be
invited to learn more about water
resources, pollution, and how you
can make a difference.
"Every Drop Counts" is the
theme for this years' cleanup.
Fun educational exhibits will be
provided by Florida Wild Mammal,
TAPP, USGS, Wakulla County 4-H, Jr.
Master Gardeners, Gulf Specimen
Marine Lab and Saturday at the
Sea. The exhibits will be open from
10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
T-shirts and a hot dog lunch
will be provided by the St. Marks


Refuge Association. Lunch will be
served from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Please call the refuge at (850) 925-
6121 for more information and to
register groups of more than 10
people.
More than 500 volunteers col-
lected 6,440 pounds of garbage
last year.
"We have not had any major
storms this year to move float-
ing debris, but we seem to find
hundreds of pounds each year
anyway," said Refuge Ranger Robin
Will. "Much of what we find is an
accumulation of careless human
activity."


St. Marks National Wildlife
Refuge is a partner of the Get
Outdoors Floridal coalition. The
coalition engages communities,
families and individuals in outdoor
experiences to achieve healthier
lifestyles and sustain Florida's
natural resources.
Families who volunteer together
at events such as Coastal Cleanup
build a stronger connection to the
natural environment.
Children who participate in
good stewardship activities are
likely to continue practicing into
adulthood.


Rudloe's 'Shrimp' will be topic of Sept. 10 lecture


A free public lecture, scheduled
from 7 p. m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday,
Sept. 10, at The Florida State Uni-
versity Coastal Marine Laboratory,
located in St. Teresa, will feature
Panacea environmentalist Jack Rud-
loe. Refreshments will be served.
The lecture will be presented
by noted scientist and author Jack


Rudloe, Managing Director of the
Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratory,
who will read from his and wife
Anne's upcoming book, "Shrimp
- The Endless Quest for Pink
Gold."
The Sept. 10 lecture will be
the next one in the laboratory's
monthly Coastal Marine Conserva-


tion Lecture Series.
In association with Second Har-
vest of the Big Bend, part of "The
Nation's Food Bank Network," the
FSU Coastal Marine Laboratory
is collecting non-perishable food
items at each of its monthly lec-
tures. Attendees are asked to bring
an item or two and help solve the


community's hunger crisis.
The FSU Coastal Marine Labora-
tory is located at 3618 Highway 98
in St. Teresa, Fla. (Franklin County),
at the intersection of U.S. Highway
319 and U.S. Highway 98, halfway
between Carrabelle and Panacea,
about 45 miles southwest of Talla-
hassee. For additional information


on the free public lecture Sept. 10
or future lectures planned as part
of the monthly Coastal Marine
Conservation 2009 Lecture Series,

Humans can prevent bears from becoming a nuisance


To prevent bears and
other wildlife from becom-
ing problems at popular
recreation areas in the Ocala,
Osceola and Apalachicola
National Forests, the U.S.
Forest Service recently imple-
mented a forest-wide Food
Storage policy requiring
proper storage and disposal
of food, garbage and other
attractants.
"Public safety is a high
priority for the U.S. Forest
Service," said Carl Petrick,
U.S Forest Service Ecosys-
tems Staff Officer. "Black
bears are one of the natural
inhabitants in our National
Forests in Florida and visi-
tors need to be informed of
how to properly store and
dispose of food and attrac-
tants that have the ability to
entice bears."
The policy, which took
effect June 30, requires all
forest visitors to properly
store, possess or secure food,


garbage and other attrac-
tants so that they are not
easily accessible to wildlife.
Attractants include anything
having an odor that may
attract bears, such as food,
beverages, cooking grease,
toothpaste, toiletries, soap,
game meat, pet food, live-
stock feed or garbage.
According to the policy, all
food, garbage and attractants
must be properly stored in
bear-resistant containers or
hard-sided vehicles, or prop-
erly disposed of in bear-resis-
tant trash receptacles. Items
may also be suspended in
"food hangs" at least 10 feet
above the ground.
Burning or burying any
food, garbage or attractants
are prohibited.
The U.S. Forest Service
has taken additional mea-
sures by installing bear-re-
sistant trash receptacles at
recreation areas and ordering
bear resistant dumpsters for


a number of camping areas.
Visitors who do not fol-
low the order can be fined.
With increased outdoor
activities, it is not uncom-
mon for visitors to occa-
sionally observe various
animals, especially Florida
Black Bears.
There are an estimated
2,000 black bears living in
the National Forests in Flor-
ida, with the Ocala National
Forest's Juniper Wilderness
area consisting of the high-
est concentration,
A black bear's diet con-
sists of ready available food
at any given time of year.
Thus, they are reasonably
attracted to scents of hu-
man food, game carcasses,
pet food, bird seed, garbage,
livestock feed and other
attractants, and may forage
over larger areas in search
for food.
When bears can easily
obtain such non-natural food


sources, they begin to associ-
ate humans with food. As a
result, they abandon their
natural food sources and
quickly become conditioned
to handouts.
This unnatural behavior
may lead to aggressive be-
havior toward humans or
even cause property dam-
age.
The National Forests in
Florida encourage visitors
to educate themselves about
wildlife and bear behavior in
order to promote safe and
responsible stewardship
of wildlife habitats and to
prevent adverse human and
wildlife confrontations.
In order to minimize bear
attractants, lessen the likeli-
hood of bear conflicts and
make your visit safe, visitors
are encouraged to following
these simple precautions:
NEVER, under any cir-
cumstances, feed a bear. It
is illegal.


Never leave food or cool-
ers unattended.
Keep campsites clean of
food and food wrappers.
Properly dispose of gar-
bage in bear-proof contain-
ers or trash cans or take out
what you bring in. Don't
bury or burn it.
Do not cook or store
food in or near your tent.
Store food, toiletries and
garbage in properly sealed
containers, hard-sided vehi-
cles, or in "food hangs" at all
times. "Food hangs" should
be at least 10 feet off the
ground and at least four feet
from the trunk of a tree.
Do not store scented
items (deodorant, tooth-
paste, lotion) in your tent.
Do not sleep in the
clothes that you cook in.
Avoid hiking trails at
night.
NEVER approach a bear.
They are wild animals and
can be dangerous.


NEVER run from a bear.
Back slowly away and make
lots of noise.
Visitors and forest resi-
dents should take the ac-
tions listed above to prevent
bear problems and alert the
campground host or District
Ranger Offices if a bear is
present in or around camp-
ing and recreation areas.
Most often, if attractants
are removed, bears will move
on and not return.
"The black bears and
wildlife in our forests are
magnificent creatures," said
Petrick. "We want visitors
to practice proper food stor-
age and disposal procedures
to ensure the safety and
security of our forest visi-
tors while at the same time,
ensuring healthy, viable
wildlife populations."

Cabbage said the rescue
"went like clockwork." He
added that state officials
mobilized the rescue unit
shortly after the report was
received. However, he added,
it takes a few days to get the
boat and needed officials
from around the state to the
rescue scene.
Nelson said the Lowry
Park Zoo facility has treat-
ed more than 200 injured
manatees and is one of the
few facilities in the state
equipped to handle manatee
emergencies.


"We have a very good
success rate," said Nelson of
manatee treatments. "There
are 13 at the facility now.
We are dedicated to critical
care."
She added that the facil-
ity serves manatee needs in
southwest Florida and it is
unusual for manatees from
the Tallahassee region to
end up in Tampa.
"Many of the manatees
with this type of injury do
survive," said Nelson. "Unfor-
tunately, this one did not."
To report a dead or dis-
tressed manatee, call the


FWC Wildlife Alert Hotline
at 888-404-FWCC (3922).
Visit http://research.
MyFWC.com/manatee for

Chamber of Chamber welcomes new businesses


We're All So Precious
Learning Center
On Aug. 10, 2009, We're All So
Precious Learning Center opened for
business at 22 Feli Way in Crawford-
ville (745-8234). The new Learning
Center is the third for owner Mary
Johnson who opened her first center
in 1987. Mary operates all three centers
under the umbrella of Precious Years
Day Care Center Inc. a family owned
and operated corporation that has 36
employees. A ribbon cutting was held
for the business on Aug. 25.
Mary is known for her trademark
style of providing Childcare and Learn-
ing from a Christian/family based
viewpoint. Curriculums featured are
both current and age appropriate
but also incorporate a Biblical theme
through Bible stories, songs, and other
activities.
The new center at Feli Way is fresh
after being remodeled and features
new furnishings and equipment for
ages six weeks through 10 years old.
The use of primary colors for accent
and wall colors throughout, and good
lighting leave parents and their chil-
dren ready for a good experience with
the bright atmosphere they create.
Couple this with a family friendly staff
and owners who know how to help
parents transition their children from


home to "home away from home,"
and you have an experience that's
more like visiting family than going to
school. The layout of the school's in-
terior and playgrounds are ergonomic
with an open class arrangement that
allows parents to see throughout all
classes and yet are still partitioned
individually to separate age groups.
The three playgrounds are newly
equipped and feature entrances to
each individual classroom. This makes
it fun, safe and easy to enter and exit
and also promotes growth as children
"move up" by age and development to
new areas of play and new classrooms.
There is also a before and after-school
program for area schools, bus pick-up,
drop off, and van transportation are
available.
It's no wonder that the family feel
comes through when you consider
Mary's background as she enters her
23rd year as a Center owner having
opened Precious Years Day Care Center
at 4224 Crawfordville Highway in July
1987. She decided to provide care for
children and their families near the
neighborhood where she grew up
after working several years for other
day care centers in the area, but she at-
tributes her real training to her mother
Estelle Kelly who operated a family
childcare business out of her home


for many years until her retirement in
the mid 1990s.
Coming from that background and
working with kids at her local church
and the church school she attended
set the mold for what was to come.
Mary has been continually licensed
since her initial opening and now
serves and employs children and
grandchildren of her initial customers.
During the process of opening and
operating her own business and rais-
ing a family of three Mary discovered
that the talent she inherited from her
mom was genetic. Present and future
families are served by her daughter
Mindy Zinser. Mindy grew up at her
mother's side and worked officially
for several years as Assistant Director
at Precious Years Day Care Center.
She then advanced to Director and
operator of I'm Precious Too Learning
Center 2304 Old St. Augustine Rd.
opening the center with her mother
on Oct. 29, 2007.
Mindy possesses that same abil-
ity as Mary to comfort and promote
healthy growth in the children and
families she serves. Many times mis-
taken for her mother or perhaps her
mother's sister, Mindy brings a con-
tinuity and confident feel to families
that could only come from generations
of experience in loving and caring for


children.
Mary and Mindy bring the centers
to life with their family style fun
and encouragement All the centers
serve hot meals, breakfast, lunch and
snack.

Speedy D'z Restaurant
A ribbon cutting was held for
Speedy D'z on Aug. 25. The establish-
ment is serving fresh roasted whole
turkey, sliced roast beef and ham sand-
wiches on multigrain or sourdough
bread with Swiss or cheddar cheese,
fresh tasty tomato slices, romaine
lettuce and onion, with pickle spear,
chips and a drink.
Also, on the menu are authentic
Mexican dishes made from scratch
daily, including the secret sauces and
guacamole. Your choices are chimi-
changas, quesadillas, garnachas and
taquitos. The meats are sirloin tip roast
and chicken breasts, both slow cooked
in a special sauce, for the dishes. They
all come with a drink.
Speedy D'z is at the convenient
location of Spring Creek Highway.
and Highway 98 on the comer at the
light.
It is open seven days a week from
11 a.m. to 7 p.m. for lunch and din-
ner.
Speedy D'z is a mobile food vend-


ing cart with a covered picnic table
for those passing through who would
like to sit, eat and to watch the traffic
goby.
Call in for no waiting pick-up to
(850) 363-6151 or (850) 363-6149.

Alarm Fire Surveillance
Integrators
A ribbon cutting was held Aug. 12
for Alarm Fire Surveillance Integra-
tors, LLC, the local hometown alarm
company in Wakulla County.

lance Integrators provides the highest
level of quality and professionalism

viding a full family of products and

Wakulla Urgent Care member
takes course
On June 17, Patricia Johnson of
Wakulla Urgent Care & Diagnostic
Center in Crawfordville took an
online course for Medical Coding at
www.ed2go.com/tcc/ through the
Chamber of Commerce. She said
the course was really easy; all you do
is log on and print the material, read
and take the quiz. Each course is 12
weeks (two days a week) and at the
end you take a final exam and print
off your certificate of CEUs.
"I have to say I truly enjoyed tak-
ing the course and it was really help-
ful in refreshing my skills in Medical
Coding. The courses at Tallahassee
Community College are wonderful.


married. The look and feel,
before ever going inside, was
that of an old country church.
This alone endeared me to
this possibility. Upon entering
the courthouse and seeing the
perfectly suited warm hues of
light green walls, the beautiful
hardwood floors, the banisters
and steps leading to the second
floor, the wrought iron wall
sconces and chandeliers, I knew
I had found the exact setting I
hoped to find to say "I Do."
We said our vows inside the
gates of the "judge's bench"
with nothing more than an
archway, tulle and ferns. Fam-


I have already signed up to take my
second course," said Office Manager
Patricia Johnson. "This is a great
way to get CEUs for licensing profes-
sionals (such as LPN, RMA, etc.) as
well. It also keeps you up to date in
your professional field. The other
best thing is if your company is part
of the Chamber of Commerce most
courses are free. As the Office Man-
ager for Wakulla Urgent Care & Di-
agnostic Center, I have encouraged
all my staff to participate in taking
courses in their field. I highly recom-
mend everyone to jump aboard and
participate in a wonderful, easy and
helpful program. We all benefit from
it, even our community by having
the professionals with up to date
information in their jobs to provide
better services with higher quality."

Thanks from a
summer intern!
As a business major, working at
the Chamber of Commerce was a
real treat this summer because the
Chamber deals directly with helping


as if I was not the only one who
was unaware of the beauty and
the possibility of holding such
events at the historic Wakulla
County Courthouse.
I would like to thank The
Wakulla County Chamber of
Commerce for their willingness
to accommodate me in every
way possible. I couldn't write
this article without thanking
my wedding directors, Pat
Jones, Sarabeth Jones and Janis
Tomaini, for their efforts in
making my wedding day such
an unforgettable and absolutely
beautiful experience.


businesses grow and succeed. Work-
ing at the Chamber really enforced
many of the principles I learned in
the classroom.
I had the opportunity to attend
several networking events spon-
sored by the Chamber of Commerce.
I was able to see up close how busi-
nesses recruit customers and sell
their business to other businesses
and the community. One of my
favorite parts of the summer was
learning the bookkeeping system
and seeing how an office runs. I
want to one day own and operate
my own company or organization
and to have this experience is valu-
able.
Petra taught me so much this
summer about business, but also
many life lessons. After Petra taught
me something, she then let me
work on it on my own. She trusted
my skills and gave me responsibility
and held me accountable. I also had
the privilege to write an article for
our monthly newsletter that goes
out to all the Chamber members.
I attended board meetings and
helped take notes. Working at the
Chamber of Commerce helped keep
me from getting rusty when I start
my full-time job in October. I would
like to thank Workforce plus for
placing me at the Wakulla County
Chamber of Commerce and allow-
ing me to participate in their Sum-
mer Youth Employment Program.

Explorer Post program graduates receive certificates


The Boys Scouts of America
(BSA) is one of the nations
largest and most prominent
values-based youth develop-
ment organizations and has
existed for nearly 100 years.
The BSA is well known as
a program for young people
that builds character, trains
them in responsibilities of
participatory citizenship and
emphasizes personal fitness.
The mission of the Boys
Scouts of America is to prepare
young people to make ethical
and moral decisions over their
lifetime by instilling in them
good values that are written in
the Scout's oath and law.
For 60 years, the Boy Scouts
of America has maintained
and supported, by sponsoring
and insuring, a coeducational
affiliate of the Boys Scouts of
America known as the Explor-
ers Program.
Local agencies, including
the Wakulla County Sheriff's
Office, have a history of es-
tablishing Explorer posts. The
Explorers Program provides
a mechanism of support to
young people and local pro-
fessional agencies including
law enforcement, fire, and
emergency medical services
through sponsorship which
in turn provides the young
participants in the program,
opportunities to experience,
receive education, and train-
ing with the host agency that
meets the value and character
development goals of the Boys
Scouts.
Between 1979 and 1997 the
Wakulla County Sheriff's Of-
fice had one of the strongest
and most successful Explorer
Posts in Florida. The Wakulla
Sheriff Explorer's Post 999
consistently sponsored more
than 20 members at a time.
During this time a number


of Wakulla County youths
ages 14 to 20 successfully
completed training in areas
of law enforcement and pro-
vided community volunteer
service. Current Sheriff's Office
employees including Lieuten-
ants Ray Johnson and James
Sessor and Deputy Lindsay
Allen are graduates of the
Sheriff's Office Explorers pro-
gram. Between 1997 and 2009,
the Sheriff's Office dedicated
staff support and time to a
number of other worthy, youth
oriented, programs such as
DARE, SAVE, the School Re-
source Officer program, ROTC
and others.
In February 2009, Harvey
met with a number of staff
members and emphasized his
desire to revitalize the Sheriff's
Explorer program, citing the
success and benefit that had
been the history of Post 999.
"In doing so I made clear my
desire to reinvest building
character and values in the
youth of Wakulla County," said
the sheriff.
Members of the Sheriff's
Office got to work. Those
who worked directly on the
effort included, Major Larry
Massa, Captain Randall Taylor,
Lieutenants Fred Nichols and
Danny Deal and Deputies Wil-
liam Jones, Brad Taylor, Jeff
Barteld and Sergeant Joe Page.
Each of these WCSO members
showed great interest and
dedicated their time to the
new members of Post 999.
Deputies Jones and Taylor
spent time working on the
program and recruiting the
new Explorer members from
Wakulla High School where
they served as the School
Resource Officers. Captain
Taylor oversaw establishing
the General Order, Policy and
Procedure and bylaws, with


input from a number of agency
members.
The General Order and
Policy and Procedure specifi-
cally address the structure and
qualifications of the Explorer
Post and membership criteria.
The criteria include areas such
as: dues ($20 annual), member-
ship qualifications, attendance,
demeanor and discipline, offi-
cers and rank, term of service,
advisors, chain of command,
leave of absence and awards.
Post 999 is served by an
advisory board that includes
Captain Taylor as Executive
Committee Chairman, mem-
bers of the WCSO and parents
of current members. "I amvery
gratified by these employees
and members of our commu-
nity who have exhibited such
dedication to the youth of our
community," the sheriff said.
The Wakulla Sheriff's Ex-
plorer program is for students,
age 14 to 20 years of age, who
are interested in any aspect
of law enforcement and is de-


signed to develop self-esteem,
discipline, good citizenship,
and leadership. The program
also strives to create better
understanding between law
enforcement and the youth of
our community. The current
members of Sheriff's Explorer
Post 999 are: John Wesley
Banister, Samantha Kristen
Stafford, William Cody James,
David Joseph Victor, Whitney
Michelle Taylor, Taylor Dallas
Sanders, Brenden Kyle Willis,
and Skyler Ciara Warren.
Sheriff Harvey noted,
"There are those of us who
tend to focus on the negative
things involving youth today,
but these young men and
women are fine examples of
what is right with many and
will replace us as the public
servants of the future in our
community."
Many of these outstand-
ing young people have some
experience with the ROTC
or Criminal Law Education
program and classes at the


Wakulla High School and
have exhibited aspirations of
serving as law enforcement
professionals. Each member
was required to complete an
application and background
check that included a medical
physical.
During the week of July 20
through July 24 each Explorer
successfully completed an
extensive 40 hour block of
training that included: Policy
and Procedure, Elements of
a Crime, Constitutional Law,
Defensive Driving, Defensive
Tactics, Handcuffing and Fire-
arms.
Each Explorer also complet-
ed a diagnostic fitness course
so they may establish a base
line to monitor their health
and fitness.
This training was coordi-
nated and provided at the
Wakulla County Sheriff's Of-
fice Training Center by Lt. Fred
Nichols. "I was very pleased
to present each graduating
Explorer with a certificate in


recognition of their accom-
plishment on Aug. 9," said the
sheriff..
Subsequent to their gradua-
tion from the Explorer's Acad-
emy, the newest members of
Sheriff's Explorer Post 999 will
be prepared to gain valuable
experiences. These experi-
ences, working along side
the members of the Wakulla
County Sheriff's Office staff
members, will provide them a
strong spirit of public and com-
munity service. They will also
build a foundation that will
prepare them for the profes-
sional field of their choice. The
members will gain knowledge
from the fact that the Wakulla
County Sheriff's Office is a
full service agency including
Uniform Patrol, Special Opera-
tions, Criminal Investigations,
Criminal Intelligence Analysis,
Crime Scene Investigations,
Communications, Corrections,
Civil and Warrants, Emergency
Management, and Administra-
tion.
Assignments and activities
for the WCSO Explorers will in-
clude high profile presence at
major county events assisting
with traffic control, parking,
other staff functions as well
as community service. The
explorers will not be involved
with any high liability or direct
law enforcement function or
activity and will not be ex-
posed to any high risk activity
or action. The explorers will
continue to receive training
and experience from all areas
of the Sheriff's Office and its
operations.

William Jones at 926-0847 or

Officer at your child's school.


Court Shorts


By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
The attorney for the
mother whose son shot his
baby's mother in an apparent
argument over custody was
in court last week arguing
that the civil lawsuit against
her should be dropped.
Hensley Duncan, 31, is fac-
ing two counts of attempted
murder for shooting Ashley
Hereford, 24, in the face with
a .223 caliber deer rifle in
November. The second count
is related to bullet fragments
striking their daughter, Kirra
Duncan, who was in the car
when her mother was shot.
A civil lawsuit was filed
in circuit court seeking mon-
etary damages from Hensley
Duncan and his mother, Mar-
garet Duncan, who owned
the home where the shoot-
ing took place.
At a court hearing on
Thursday, Aug. 27, the at-


torney for Margaret Duncan
argued that she should not
be a defendant in the lawsuit
contending there is no basis
in law for an adult being
held responsible for an adult
child's behavior.
The attorney for Hereford
argued that Margaret Dun-
can knew that the then-14-
month-old Kirra stayed at
her house, there was a bas-
sinet for her in the house,
and she knew as well that
there was a very emotional
custody dispute going on
between her son and Kirra's
mother and that her son had
a firearm.
Wakulla Circuit Judge
N. Sanders Sauls said he
would take the matter under
consideration and issue a
ruling.
A week of felony tri-
als, including three sexual
battery cases, were held last
week.


Five juries were selected
on Monday, Aug. 17, to hear
cases, including:
William Middleton was
found not guilty at trial on
Tuesday, Aug. 18, of sexual
battery and lewd and las-
civious battery, both second
degree felonies. Middleton
was represented by attorney
Gary Roberts.
On Wednesday, Aug. 19, a
jury found Ben Ard not guilty
of sexual battery on a child
younger than 12, a capital
felony, and lewd and lascivi-
ous molestation of a child.
Crawfordville attorney Steve
Glazer represented Ard.
It took a jury only 15 min-
utes to return a guilty verdict
against Michael Tyrone Scott
on Thursday, Aug. 20, for
one count of possession of
a controlled substance (crack
cocaine) with intent to sell.
He was found not guilty of
a second count of the same


charge.
At one time, Scott had
three pending cases, all with
two counts of possession
of crack with intent to sell.
He was found not guilty in
one some time back, guilty
of one count in this case,
and still has a pending case.
Scott is to be sentenced in
October. He was represented
by Adam Ruiz. The case was
prosecuted by Assistant State
Attorney Jason Osteen.
Timothy Moody was
found guilty of lewd or
lascivious molestation, a
life felony, on Friday, Aug.
21. He was also found guilty
of sexual battery on a child
and child abuse. He will be
sentenced in October. He
was represented by Regional
Conflict Counsel Daren Ship-
py. The case was prosecuted
by Assistant State Attorney
Jack Campbell.
On Monday, Aug. 31,


Ahrend Bechtel was set for
trial on failure to register
as a sex offender. He is rep-
resented by Crawfordville
attorney Richard Reno.
Assistant State Attor-
ney Jack Campbell, who has
been the chief prosecutor in
Wakulla County for a couple
of years, is being transferred
to Tallahassee and will be
replaced by Sean Desmond
beginning Sept. 1.
Campbell will still be
prosecutor on some Wakulla
cases, such as the high-pro-
file case of a state trooper
charged with sexual battery
and bribery for allegedly
having sex with a woman he
stopped for speeding.
The shuffle of personnel
by State Attorney Willie
Meggs was prompted by
the the recent appointment
of Jackie Fulford, formerly
Meggs' chief deputy, to the
bench as a circuit judge.

CHAT
of
Wahulla

Tail
a~gers

I Susan Yelton I
It was about a year ago,
when I was at the CHAT
Adoption Center doing some
paperwork, I noticed we had
a new addition to our cat
population. In our area for
cats I noticed a very big, fat
and pretty cat that looked
quite depressed. Apparently,
prior to being in the Adop-
tion Center, it had been
loved for many years by a
woman who was in a facility
that did not allow pets.
Since that time, I have
given thought to my own
pets, questioning whether
their future was adequately
provided for if my husband
and I were not there to care
for them.
Not all of us are Leona
Helmsley, who provided
$12 million for her Maltese
at the time of her death.
But there are things we can
do that will provide for our
pets when we are not there
for them. In the confusion
that accompanies a person's
unexpected illness, accident
or death, pets are often


overlooked. We don't like to
think this will ever happen
to us, but when it does, it
leaves our pet vulnerable if
we have not provided a plan,
will or trust that provides for
their care.
At a minimum, if you
have good friends or family
members that love your pets,
they are your best resource, if
they agree to be emergency
care givers. Providing them
with the Power of Attorney
has become a standard plan-
ning device. It is simpler
than trusts and does not
create a legal entity that has
to be maintained by formal
means.
But, there is always the
possibility that your desig-
nee may like your pets when
you are capable of taking
care of them, but it is a dif-
ferent matter if they have to
care for them without you. In
the long run, the best plan
is to start thinking about a
long term arrangement. A
will or a trust, depending
upon what you want to ac-
complish.
If you have a will, as a pet
owner, you probably know
you can't leave any part of
your estate outright to an
animal. However, you can
leave a sum of money to a
person designated to care
for your pet and a request


that the money be used for
the pet's care. This type of
legal arrangement allows
you to designate a person,
an amount of money and the
care you expect for your pet.
But even with a will there are
issues. One of them involves
a transitional period before
a will is probated.
During this transitional
period, before the terms of
your will can be executed,
your pet will need care. It is
very important that your will
specify that funds are avail-
able for your pet during this
period of time. Otherwise,
your designee will have to
use their money to carry
out your wishes. The transi-
tion period could be several
months and cost your desig-
nee a lot of money.
The other alternative
is to establish a trust for
your pet. About three years
ago the Florida Legislature
passed legislation that en-
ables Floridians to establish
a trust fund for their pet, FS
736.0408.
With a trust you can cre-
ate an account that will
ensure that your pet's future
is secure without you. When
you consult with your at-
torney about this type of
arrangement, it is important
to provide him/her with
instructions regarding your


wishes. Such as, food and
diet, daily routine, medical,
compensation for the care-
taker, etc. In a sense, you are
asking someone to take care
of your pet with your money
as if you were still capable of
doing so.
There are many web sites
that have information re-
garding wills and trust funds
for pets. The Society for the
Prevention of the Cruelty to
Animals site: www.aspca.org,
and the Humane Society of
the United States site:www.
hsus.org, as well as the New
York City Bar Association,
www.nycbar.org, provide
not only information on the
subject, but also examples
of wills and trusts. And of
course, your own attorney
is someone you will want to
consult. This subject is very
complicated and requires
a lot more understanding
than the few issues we have
raised.
On another note, many of
you know Heide Clifton. She
has spent more than 20 years
advocating for the home-
less and abused animals of
Wakulla County. Heide has
a special day coming up. We
are not going to tell her age,
but do want to wish her a
very happy birthday and
many more with continued
good health.


Health benefit featured Alan Gerber


Music can be good for your
health, as shown by Canadian
songwriter and multi-instru-
mentalist Alan Gerber. On
Aug. 15 in Tallahassee, Cana-
dian bluesman Gerber put on
a show to benefit Neighbor-
hood Health Services. Gerber,
who lives in Quebec, Canada,
had just appeared at a reunion
appearance of the rock group
Rhinoceros in Ontario.
Commissioner Howard Kes-
sler attended the fundraiser and
said Gerber was one of the best
entertainers he has ever seen.
"Alan Gerber is a superb
musician, especially on the
keyboard, a talented songwriter
and a very funny and engag-
ing performer," Kessler said. "I
would definitely see him again
given the opportunity."
Gerber donated the pro-


Otis Kirksey, Kessler, Gerber, Patrick Wiggins
ceeds from his performance to homeless.

Don't flush those meds!


"Should we still be throw-
ing our unused medications
down the potty?" a resident
asked when she called our
Keep Wakulla County Beauti-
ful office.
"Nol" I stated emphatically.
"Well, that's what I was told
to dol" she maintained, and
that got me curious.
"When did someone tell
you to flush your meds?" I
wondered.
"Well, let's see. It was right
after my son Jimmy was born,
about 15 years ago," she re-
plied.
Yes, about 15 years ago
people were often told to flush
their old or unused medica-
tions down the toilet.
Not true anymore! Don't
flush!
Here's what to do accord-


ing to the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection
(DEP) and the Florida Depart-
ment of Health (DOH):
Keep the medicines in
the original container. This will
help identify the contents if
they are accidentally ingested.
Mark out your name and pre-
scription number for safety. For
pills, add water or soda to start
dissolving them. For liquids,
add something inedible like
cat litter, dirt or cayenne pep-
per. Close the lid and secure
with duct or packing tape. Place
the bottles) inside an opaque
container like a coffee can or
plastic laundry bottle. Tape
that container closed. Hide the
container in the trash. Do not
put in the recycle bin.
What's wrong with flush-
ing?
Flushing is just one way that
microconstituents, which are
compounds in medications, get
into our environment We can
control what we flush. How-
ever, when we ingest medica-
tions, our bodies absorb some
of the drug. The rest passes
through us when we utilize
the toilet


We can't do much about
that.
The concern by many envi-
ronmentalists and people who
are working in governmental
organizations like DEP and
DOH, is that, when flushed
down the toilet, the medi-
cations go through a septic
tank or wastewater treatment
system.
These systems are not de-
signed to remove many medi-
cations.
Even though the amounts
of drugs found in our water
supply is hundreds or thou-
sands of times lower than the
quantity found in medications,
it is unclear what the potential
harm is to humans. However,
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-
vice is concerned about the
impact of improper disposal
to harmful to fish, wildlife and
their habitats.
To avoid potential problems
to our environment and to
ourselves, please remember
the DEP and DOH guidelines.
Don't flush. Place directed in
the trash. These items will then
be properly taken care of in our
landfill.

DOH provides new H1N1 line


The Florida Department
of Health will be launching
a toll-free number to provide
public health information
and updates on H1N1 Swine


flu.
The information line will
be available from 8 a.m. to 8
p.m. seven days a week. In-
formation is available in Eng-


lish, Spanish and Creole.
The line went into service

In an effort to combat un-
licensed activity, the Depart-
ment of Business and Profes-
sional Regulation's Division
of Regulation is planning a
statewide unlicensed activity
sweep during the last week in
August. This effort is part of
the division's three-tiered ap-
proach to combat unlicensed
activity through education,
prevention and enforcement.
Investigators will perform com-
pliance checks across Florida
in an effort to nab unlicensed
individuals. In addition to
enforcement activities, the
department will also educate
unlicensed individuals on be-
coming licensed.
"Statewide operations send
a strong message that unli-
censed activity will not be tol-
erated," said Secretary Charles
W. Drago. "Announcing the
operations before they begin
gives unlicensed individuals
an opportunity to think twice


before breaking the law."
The Division of Regulation
will conduct sweeps from the
eight district offices around
the state. To perform these
operations, they will partner
with other agencies, including
local law enforcement building
and code enforcement depart-
ments, State Attorneys offices,
and the Florida Department of
Financial Services' Division of
Workers' Compensation.
Specific locations will not be
disposed at this time; however,
an extensive summary will be
distributed at the conclusion of
the operation.
Below are precautions that
consumers can take to help
protect themselves from unli-
censed individuals:
Always ask to see the
State of Florida license.
Note the license number
and verify that the license is
current and in good standing.
To check a license, call 487-


1395 or visit MyFloridaLicense.
com.
Ask for references and
check each one.
Do not pay cash and be
cautious of writing checks
made payable to individuals,
especially when dealing with
a company.
Get everything in writing,
including a detailed descrip-
tion of the work to be com-
pleted, a completion date and
the total cost.
Additionally, licensed con-
tractors are reminded to hire
licensed subcontractors when
required for work such as
plumbing and electrical.
The department's mission
is to license efficiently and
regulate fairly.
The department licenses
more than one million busi-
nesses and professionals.

NAMI program

date has changed


A free 12-week mental
health education program,
sponsored by NAMI Wakulla,
will begin Sept. 17 at the Tal-
lahassee Community College
Center in Crawfordville.
The NAMI Wakulla Fam-
ily-to-Family program was
scheduled to begin Sept. 3,
but a delay in the delivery
of materials forced a date
change to Sept. 17.
The course is open to fam-
ily and friends of individuals
with a diagnosed serious
mental illness.
The NAMI Family to Fam-
ily Education Program is
designed to help family
members gain a better un-
derstanding of mental ill-
ness, cope much better,
worry less and become more
effective in getting better
treatment and services for
their relatives.


The National Alliance
on Mental Illness (NAMI)
sponsors Family-to-Family
through unrestricted grants
from Bristol-Myers Squibb
and Otsuka America Phar-
maceutical, Inc.
Instructors of the Wakul-
la NAMI Family-to-Family
program are trained NAMI
members who have a fam-
ily member with a mental
illness.
The two-hour sessions
will begin at 7 p.m. on Sept.
17, and will continue each
Thursday evening, except
Thanksgiving, through Dec.
10.
All course material will be
furnished free of charge.
Those who want to sign-
up may call Wakulla NAMI's
helpline at 926-1033 for more
information.

as tintypes, daguerreotypes
etc., and the best conditions
for storing and protecting
them.
He will also talk about the
importance of keeping family
records and protecting paper
documents.

do, you will want to learn
how to preserve those impor-
tant photographs and docu-
ments that you treasure.


to call "sneakers." This is im-
portant. I don't like to wear
shoes myself and often wear
sandals, but for the Cleanup,
you need shoes to protect
your feet. Socks are a good
idea, too. When you walk,
you don't want to come up
with blisters.
A lot of people have per-
sonal water bottles and
some way to attach the
bottles to their clothing or
they might wear the bottles
like they would old-fash-
ioned canteens.
It gets hot here. Water is
good. You'll thank yourself
if you bring water.
Remember the sunscreen,
a hat and sunglasses. If the


wind isn't blowing that
morning, you may want bug
spray. And if you have your
own gloves, they will most
likely fit better than ours.
We will have gloves, though,
if you don't have any.
Site Captains will hand
you trash bags and data
cards. Data cards are great
when used in groups. While
several people pick up trash,
they yell out what they
found and a person with the
data card makes tally marks
until everyone in the group
is finished picking up litter.
The tally marks are added
up and volunteers bring
the cards to Woolley Park.
We at KWCB tabulate the

We send these data cards

We will have the "Weigh

this year. Encourage our
young people to pick up
cigarette butts as a group.

everyone to be as comfort-
able as possible.
First of all, shorts and
T-shirts are just fine. Polo
shirts work, too. Just make
sure that what you wear can
be washed, because we hope
each volunteer will work
up a sweat while working
hard!
If you are in charge of a
group or a business, and if
that organization has created
shirts, this is a fine place to
show group affiliation. Our
photographer, George, says
to be sure to attend after-
cleanup festivities at Wool-
ley Park in Panacea. If you
look for him there, he will
take a group shot of your
organization. Those photo-
graphs will show the vol-
unteer spirit of your group
and help to recruit more
volunteers for the next im-
portant event.
Tell everyone to wear
close-toed shoes, like walk-
ing shoes or what we used

The team also studies their
budgets and hears testimoni-
als from clients and/or agency
volunteers. Upon completion,
they determine which agencies
and how much will be funded
for that particular year.
"It's inspiring to see these
volunteers in Wakulla take
time out of their busy sched-
ules to go through this agency


review process," said Alison
Dodson, UWBB campaign
manager for Wakulla. "This
process is critical to ensuring
that these funds are allocated
properly and make the most
impact in this county. We're
very proud of the bottom-line


results these agencies are
producing and how they help
people in need throughout
Wakulla County."
For information about be-
coming a volunteer, please

or Arnold McKay at 414-0844.
