Members of the Wakulla
legislative delegation heard
numerous complaints about
the state Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission
and some of the words
used to describe the agency
included "corrupt," "evil,"
and "drunk with power."
Commercial fIshermen have
listed for years that the small
sh mullet nets the state re-
res them to use are not viable,
I harvest only undersized mul-
and other bycatch. Contending


the FWC isn't answerable to any-
body in making its regulations,
fishermen asked legislators to
use their control over the wildlife
agency's budget to pressure them
to negotiate.
It wouldn't work, said Sen. Al
Lawson (D-Tallahassee), because
the majority of legislators don't
understand the problem and
think there's no problem with
fisheries regulation.
Lawson, who is being forced
out of office by term limits after
28 years in the legislature, said
he had been frustrated by past
attempts to solve the net problem.


Every time there's a solution pro-
posed and he thinks the problem
is resolved, he turns around to
find nothing has changed.
The other members of Wakul-
la's legislative delegation state
representatives Marti Coley (R-
Marianna) and Leonard Bembry
(D-Greenville) also expressed
their support at a public hear-
ing in Crawfordville on Tuesday,
Feb. 9.
Coley went so far as to suggest
taking a look at making the FWC,
as well as the Public Service Com-
mission, elected offices rather
than appointed.

Coach Casey Godwin was philo-
sophical about the Wakulla High
School girl's basketball team after
heir loss in their first-ever playoff
appearance.
He was upset at the loss, he
aid, but confident that his young
eam had given their best effort.
Next year, he said, his Lady War
Eagles would be back, building
on the historic success that this
year's seniors had built.
Wakulla lost, 58-35, on Thurs-
lay night, Feb. 11, at home in the
regional quarterfinals to the visit-
ng Booker T. Washington High
School Wildcats from Pensacola.
The Wildcats were faster and
openedd the game with a press
hat caused some early passing
errors that got them off to a 10-2
tart. But Wakulla was scrappy
md halfway through the second
quarter had fought back to a score
of 16-13. At halftime, Washington
was leading 21-15.
In the third quarter, the Wild-


The FWC was created by consti-
tutional amendment that merged
the Marine Fisheries Commission
and the Game and Fish Commis-
sion into one regulatory agency. It
was touted as a means to remove
politics from wildlife regulation,
but fishermen have criticized the
agency as having uncontrolled
power with no oversight from
the legislature, and a reluctance
by the courts to intercede given
the legal presumption that the
agency has specific expertise in
what it does.

Kessler


treated for


malaria

By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.ne
County Commission Chairman
Howard Kessler is being treated for
malaria, which he appears to con-
tracted during his recent medical
mission to assist earthquake survi-
vors in Haiti.
"I don't have the fear and chills
anymore or the real bad symptoms
of malaria," Kessler said on Tuesday,
Feb. 16, before the start of a county
commission meeting.
He was planning to chair the meet-
ing. "I'm going to try it out and if it
looks like I can't make it, I may have
to pass the gavel."
Kessler was on the agenda to
speak to the local legislative delega-
tion at the public hearing a week ear-
lier, on Feb. 9, but Vice-chairman Mike
Stewart appeared in Kessler's stead,
explaining that Kessler had been at
the hospital during the day.
County Administrator Ben Pingree
said after the hearing that Kessler
had told him know earlier in the day
that he was at the hospital emergency
room, being treated for malaria.
A retired orthopedic surgeon who
has kept his medical license up-to-
date, Kessler volunteered to travel
to Haiti as part of a medical mission
to assist earthquake survivors and
was there for a week. He described
his work there as disaster medicine,
performing amputations on people
who had suffered compound fractures
or crushed limbs.
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infec-
tious disease widespread in tropical
regions.

cats increased their lead to 20
points, and they kept a comfort-
able lead, though Wakulla never
gave up.
Senior Artigua Kilpatrick led
the team with 14 points, junior
Taylor Eglton had seven points,
and freshman Cayla Pennywell


had six points. Other scorers
were Kelsey Lee with four points,
Breighly Bolton with two, and
Kiara Harvey with one.
Coach Godwin praised his
counterpart from Pensacola, Coach
Cara Ferris, for having a well-
coached and well-prepared team.

Crowd rallies at Capitol for


By Bruce Ritchie
The Florida Tribune
The upcoming legislative session
will be crucial to winning passage of
springs legislation, speakers on Tues-
day told a crowd of more than 400 at a
springs rally outside the state Capitol.
Springs across the state have be-
come choked with weeds and algae as
nitrogen in groundwater has increased.
But legislation that would either create
pilot programs to reduce nitrogen or
regulate its release from farms, septic
tanks and utilities have failed to win
approval during the last five legislative
sessions.
Residents came by bus from Gaines-
ville, Ocala and the Dunnellon area for
the rally, which included a costumed
Creature from the Black Lagoon and
others in bird costumes. School children
held a banner stating "Protect Wakulla


Springs" while audience members held
signs for springs elsewhere around the
state: Sun, Manatee, Homsby and Three
Sisters, to name a few.
Sen. Lee Constantine (R-Altamonte
Springs) is expected to introduce
springs legislation again this year after
his bill last year failed to receive a Sen-
ate vote. Constantine, who will leave
the Senate this year because of term
limits, told the crowd, "This is the year,
as somebody yelled out in the audience
said, that we have to do something."
"There is no question," he said, "if
we don't do it this year we might have
gone too far in devastating the natural
resource that is our springs. We have to
do it in a way that balances both our
environment and economic opportuni-
ties in Florida. We can do it."
Constantine is chairman of the
Senate Committee on Environmental


Preservation and Conservation.
The crowd cheered as senators
and representatives vowed to support
springs. But cheers for Rep. Leonard
Bembry (D-Greenville) turned to some
jeers when he criticized a proposed
federal rule that would set limits for
nitrogen and phosphorus in Florida
waterways.
Environmental groups sued to force
the EPA to set limits. But industry and
agriculture groups and utilities say the
limits are based on flawed science and
will be costly to try to meet.
Bembry, whose district includes
about half of Wakulla County, said
agriculture is working to help protect
groundwater. But he drew boos from
the crowd when he said reducing
nitrogen and phosphorus could harm
commercial fishing without explain-
ing how that could happen.


springs

"This is not the time for single-issue
politics, nor private agendas, nor is it a
time for political partisanship," Bembry
said. "We all as Floridians have too
much at risk for those kinds of issues.
It is time for good, solid, fiscally-re-
sponsible solutions that are based on
scientific information that has been
tested and proven to be valid."

Deep-fried butter,


exploding chicken and Matisse


William Snowden
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
This weekend I found
myself standing outside a
food vendor's booth at the
Florida State Fairgrounds
Tampa, hands on hips and
mouth agape at the latest in
fair food: deep fried butter.
Fair food is a never end-
ing source of entertainment
to me. If it can be dropped
into a vat of grease candy
bars, twinkies it has been
deep-fried and eaten at the
fair.
Some people apparently
believe cholesterol is na-
ture's WD-40 and is the cure
for what ails ya must have
cheered the previous pin-
nacle in the development of
fair food deep fried bacon,
dipped in chocolate, rolled
in sea salt. On a stick.
This deep-fried butter,
though, stopped me in my
tracks. I mean, as a culinary
experience, isn't that like
eating the fry grease?
My youngest daughter
has gotten used to my quirks
when traveling. I don't make
plans no hotel reservations,
no itinerary just make it up
as I go along. It used to drive
her absolutely bonkers, but
she has since adopted a Zen-
like attitude to her father's
peculiarities.
We ended up at a hotel
in downtown Tampa right
across the street from the
Performing Arts Center and
the new Museum of Art. We
caught a Saturday night per-
formance of Ballet Folklorico
de Mexico and on Sunday
hit the Henri Matisse exhibit
at the museum.
The ballet wasn't real-
ly ballet, as my ballerina
daughter pointed out. (I had
noticed it on my own, but I
don't usually make a big deal
when people with the same
last name point out the obvi-
ous to me.)


Thanks...

for Valentine's
Editor, The News:
Big Bend Hospice would
like to take this opportu-
nity to thank the Rotary of
Wakulla and all of the spon-
sors for a great Valentine's
Day celebration. It was a
beautiful day and the parade


The folk dancing was
entertaining, but what was
truly amazing was how often
the ushers had to come into
the audience to take away
cameras and tell people to
turn off cell phones during
the performance.
For the record, deep
fried butter is a doughball
filled with butter that's been
dropped in hot grease.
And by all accounts it is
as disgusting as it sounds.
The local media did taste
tests with some hearty vol-
unteers on some of the vari-
ous food concoctions at the
fair and fried butter scored
low on all the participants'
scorecards. Descriptions of
eating it were along the lines
of biting into a ball of dough
and having butter spew on
your hands and clothes.
Yum.
But wait, not to be out-
done, another fair fryologist
came up with deep fried
Pepsi. Using the same tech-
nology a filled doughball
- this genius saw there's
nothing that can't be deep
fried and realized that the
taste sensation the world
has been waiting for re-
quired him to fry up some
soda.
Double yum.
It was a brisk, sun-
ny Sunday morning as my
youngest daughter and I


walked along the river in
front of the shiny, stain-
less-steel skinned Museum
of Art. There were rowers
sculling on the river. There
were people walking dogs.
A homeless guy laying out
his clothes in the sunshine
wished us a happy Valen-
tine's Day.
I told my daughter I want-
ed to check out a sculpture
known among the locals as
"The Exploding Chicken."
The sculpture is by George
Sugarman and has been at
the corner of Kennedy Bou-
levard and Ashley Drive for
about 20 years and is to be
moved by the city to a new
spot near the aquarium.
The actual title of the
sculpture is "Untitled." Given
the nickname of Exploding
Chicken, I think my daughter
was expecting something
different. Some scorch marks
on the pavement, maybe.
Some stray feathers.
Another type of fair
food making the rounds
was spaghetti ice cream.
Vanilla ice cream ground
out in strings to look like
spaghetti and then covered
with a strawberry sauce to
make it look like pasta and
tomato sauce.
Where's the challenge in
that? Plus, come on, it's not
real fair food if it wasn't in a
deep fryer at some point.


Dayparade
was fantastic. We realize all
of the hard work that must
go into such an event and
want you to know that we
sincerely appreciate all of
your efforts.

Editor, The News:
Tuesday, Feb. 9 was a
very hectic day for us. We
have been fighting a two
year battle with our road.
It is so torn up from the
weather and excess people
driving on it that it is a
major hazard during a hard
rain. The fire department
or the ambulance would
not be able to drive down
it in the event of an emer-
gency.
We contacted our county
commissioners and I was
shocked at the response
that we received. They are
real people.
Commissioner Kessler
was in the TMH emergency
room but he still contacted
me. Commissioner Artz
also contacted me within


Blackmar leaves The News


Editor, The News:
It was with a great sense
of loss that I read the re-
cent issue of The Wakulla
News announcing the de-
parture of Keith Blackmar
as editor. Life is dynamic.
Change is usually never
anticipated nor welcomed.
So it is, with the loss of
Blackmar to a new phase
and challenge in his life.
The true loss will be felt
with The Wakulla News
and the citizen readers in
the County.
I first met Keith approxi-
mately 17 years ago when
he called to schedule an
appointment to discuss
my dispute with Wakulla
County and the County
Commission. Sadly, 17
years later that dispute
continues with my neigh-
bors, but I was glad to win
my positions against the
commissioners.
During the interview
Blackmar questioned, took
photos and injected "what
if" questions and scenarios.
He presented himself and
behaved just as a journalist
would concise, impartial,
and to the point.
Blackmar's involvement
in the community was to-
tal and comprehensive. I
could always count on his
yearly spelling bee reports
and his column references
to the wide variety of
animals he wrote about
and the organizations he
supported with his crafted
words.
Always a favorite topic
was his fondness for fe-
lines. He was a magnet
for our in-office business
kitty, Blackie, anytime he
visited.
He was personally gen-
erous in his support of my
forensic reconstruction
activities at Joseph A. Abal
& Associates and more
recently he generously
reported on Abal Auction
Real Estate.
His reporting and his
concise, impartial editori-
als on many of the special
features, people and events
of Wakulla County will be
missed.
Let me congratulate and
applaud Keith as I say
goodbye and good luck to a
great voice of The Wakulla
News. He will be missed
personally and profession-
ally.

Careful before taking

truck training


Editor, The News:
I saw an ad in The Wakul-
la News last week from Wer-
ner Ent. looking for drivers.
I want anyone who is even
"thinking about" respond-
ing to this ad to call me.
Especially if you hold a job
currently. DON'T DO ITII I
trained with Werner, passed
the "test out" process, and
was hired. I then was sent
home to await truck and


load assignment. Here I am,
over a year later (without
income), without work!! The
big trucking companies are
not hiring in Floridal They
will train you, but after train-
ing, you're on your own. No
training qualifies as experi-
ence. Please call me if you're
thinking about this!

Editor, The News:
While waiting (breath-
lessly) for your former ed-
itor's announcement as to
his future employer, I took
a survey (as he was wont
to do). I did, however, cut
it off without waiting for
the results I wanted (as
he was also wont to do). I
asked seven people where
they thought he would be
working. Six guessed the
sheriff's department. And
guess what? They were
right.
Wonder why?
As a friend of mine
said when the news was
announced, "now we
know what we've always
known." For years his edi-
torializing has been one-
sided, biased, always in
favor of the powers-that-be
(led by the sheriff), and for
all the complaints I know
of, nothing was done.
Now we know why.
His asking people to
guess was the most lame-
brained thing he could
have possibly done, and
has got to be a complete
embarrassment for the
sheriff's department, along
with the quotes he printed
coming from the sheriff.
I don't know if I'd want
someone working for me
who has to puff himself
up quite that way, but
that's now the sheriff's
business.
I can only hope his spe-
cial brand of sycophancy
(read "bootlicking, brown
nosing, fawning, grovel-
ing, kowtowing, sucking


up" and worse look it
up) will be as detrimental
to the re-election of the
sheriff as his editorial
work was to the detriment
of the newspaper and the
county.
They used to say pay-
back was hell. But now
we know it doesn't have
to be.
You have a new chance,
News, to play it straight
with your story selection,
headline writing, content
editing and placement of
stories. Next time, let's
make it harder to guess.
Hugh Taylor
Crawfordville

Editor, The News:
A short note to thank
Keith Blackmar for years
of excellent, objective jour-
nalism. You have had a
positive influence on the
affairs of this county, and
on the adults and children
of this county. And, more
specifically, my kids are
better citizens because of
the influence you had on
their development.
Much obliged.

The end result was they

Before I thought they just
talked about the budget for

things for the county, but
after today I have realized
that they are just people
wanting to help the people

Marj Law
I have been blessed with
girlfriends who are so excep-
tionally smart and courageous
that I could not comprehend
just how intelligent and gutsy
they are until recently. And
recently is a quarter of a cen-
tury later.
One day, 25 years ago, as
my girlfriend and I sat on the
edge of her pool and
watched our five boys
play, she turned to me
and said, "I think I'm
going to teach organic
chemistry at the uni-
versity."
I smiled, not know-
ing how to respond.
Probably the words
"Unh-huh!" went
through my mind (and
you know the tone
of voice used in this
phrase), but I didn't
say anything. Thank
goodness.
She went on to say
an education is wasted
if it's not used and thinks she
would really enjoy teaching.
At that point, I knew she
was serious. But heck, this is
my friend, a mommy. Here
we were watching our babies
frolic in the water and she
was blithely gabbing away
about teaching one of the
most difficult courses on a
college level?
Again, thank goodness
that, for once, I keep my
mouth shut.
A couple of weeks later,
she was joyously She had been
offered a job teaching organic
chemistry!
Yes, girls were educated
25 years ago. I had an educa-
tion too. But I think: We're
married, we have children,
we wonder what to cook for
dinner every night. We are
busy potty-training.
And my friend did go on to
teach organic chem. She loved
it. She loved the intellectual
challenge. She loved men-
toring young students who
often had poor study habits.
She would talk to them as
she did to her children, with
extreme patience. She taught
with positive "you can do it"


exhortations and repetition
And more repetition. If yo
did not hear her (or if yo
were accidentally not listed
ing), she would repeat hE
instructions. And then sh
would repeat them agail
Gently.
Sometimes, I thought h(
sons behaved only because
they wanted to avoid anot]
er long lecture. Sometime
when I saw a slightly naught
gleam in the eyes of one
her boys, I'd think, "Pleas
don't do it! I can't bear to hea
the long, long explanation
why you should not do th
and what implications it wi
have on you or your broth(
or the rest of the world. Pu
easel Don't do it!"
My friend did not span
her boys, or give them "tim
outs." She simply talked their
out of whatever naughty the
were contemplating.

So, a dozen years late
when she tells me her olde.
is applying to Harvard, I wor
der if he built a rocket ship i
their basement and I wond(
if he has a snowball's chance
in heck of ever getting in.
Again, I keep my mout
shut.
Yes, her oldest boy is ii
vited to Harvard. People their
figure out how much money
my friend and her husband
can afford for schooling an
they tell her they will absorb
the rest.
When boy number two
ready for school, he wants t
attend Harvard as well.
My friend and her husband
are elated when son numb(
two is invited to Harvarc
Then they contemplate th
enormous cost. They wond(
how they can manage. The
wonder if her parents migl
be able to assist them.
But no, Harvard has oth(
ideas. Since the people a
Harvard have figured out th
family's finances, they say m
friend and her husband hav
already paid all they should
Therefore, son number tw


n. gets in free.
iu Sons number one and
)u number two are the boys we
n- watched play in the pool.
er Son number three has
ie other ideas. He wants to at-
n. tend Princeton.
Somehow, the family man-
er ages.
;e I have another friend who
h- played mommy too. Remem-
s, ber, this is back in the dark
ty ages around 25 years ago.

of never went to college. And

er Unh-huh.
il- She gives me a sample of
her writing. It's single spaced.
ik It's a whole page long. There's

ey She attends Tallahassee

I l. Would you dare go to
college for the first time

THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Feb. 18, 2010 Page 3A


Change is in the air



with local Republicans


Editor, The News:
It was a pleasure meeting the many fine
folks here in the county during the Valen-
tine's Day Parade this past weekend. Many
people came up to the Republican float and
gave us the thumbs-up and expressed their
good thoughts on our theme this year: "The
Wakulla Republican Party Supports Local
Businesses."
As our float moved past Hudson Park, I
heard the announcer state, for the second
year in a row, "And here is the Wakulla Re-
publican float, if you were ever wondering if
we even have a Republican Party" or some-
thing to that effect. Well, this year I did get
the opportunity to reply as I was handed the
microphone and said as clearly, concisely and
as proudly as I could: "This is THE Wakulla
County Republican Party."
How is this year different? Let me start by
saying that just a few days prior to the parade,
the Republican Party Executive Committee
voted in more Republican precinct committee-
men and committeewomen than ever before
in county history; a sitting Democratic county
commissioner switched parties and is now
a Republican; our local fundraisers are very
successful, and we have the most dedicated
committeemen and committeewomen you
can find.
The local party has a vision and a message
that supports local business and responsible
growth here in the county. We realize that
big government programs and tax-and-spend
philosophies are not just a Washington phe-
nomenon but those tendencies flow down to
local government as well. The message and
decisions from Washington affect decisions


made here locally in Wakulla County.
The voting populace is more involved
now and will not stand for business as usual.
Look at what happened in Massachusetts
recently, and look at what is happening all
across the country: People are fed up with big
government trying to run our daily lives and
spending our tax dollars on large programs
we don't want,
It is my opinion that the current adminis-
tration has spent the past few months trying
to ram a massive healthcare bill down our
throats while our unemployment numbers
are skyrocketing. We need jobs not another
government-run program. We do not need to
spend millions of dollars of taxpayers' money
defending terrorists. We need promises kept,
not more lip service.
Locally, we need to protect and support
our local businesses. We need to be more
involved in local government decisions. We
need to aggressively look for and promote
free enterprise and responsible growth. We
must protect our environment responsibly
while pursuing these ideals.
The change you see, and that some of
you currently feel, is not the change we
were promised during the last presidential
election. The change in the air today is like
a personal wake-up call to get involved, to
understand the rules of government, to par-
ticipate in the process, and to help turn this
country back to the foundation that made our
families proud to be Americans. Get involved.
Now is the time
Gordon McCleary
Chairman, Wakulla
County Republican Party

THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Feb. 18, 2010 Page 5A


Fishers
Under the 1994 consti-
tutional amendment that
limited nets the so-called
net ban fishermen were
allowed to use nets no
larger than 500 square feet,
which was a substantial
decrease from the thou-
sands of yards gear they
had used. But the MFC
threw in a twist as part of
its regulation, limiting the
size of mesh to two inches
stretched. A typical gill net
used to catch mullet used
mesh sizes of three to five
inches depending on the
time of the year.
The smaller mesh size
catches smaller fish. In
fact, a study by local fish-
ermen with the initial
cooperation of the FWC,
showed that the smaller
mesh nets catch unintend-
ed fish known as bycatch
- but not legal size mullet.
In fact, 98 percent of what
is caught is bycatch, includ-
ing undersized mullet and
juvenile gamefish such as
grouper and redfish. The
FWC ceased its participa-
tion in the net study as the
results became obvious.
Jack Rudloe, author, en-
vironmentalist and found-
er of Gulf Specimen Ma-
rine Laboratory in Panacea,
agreed with fishermen's
complaints and told of
the FWC deciding to come


after him to try to shut
down his operations and
would have, he said, with-
out the intercession of Sen.
Lawson.
"A corrupt and poison-
ous system," Rudloe said,
that has "crushed the com-
mercial fishermen."
The FWC is "crazed with
power," he said, "and is
now going after recreation-
al fishermen and was just
going to go right over us"
at the marine lab. Thanks
to Sen. Lawson, an excep-
tion to gear and other rules
was made for non-profit
educational or scientific
agencies, which includes
Gulf Specimen.
Ronald Fred Crum, for
years head of the Wakulla
Commercial Fishermen's
Association and a lead-
er in the net battle, and
fisherman Keith Ward of
Lighthouse Seafood in St.
Marks, and other fishers
asked the delegation to
help commercial fisher-
men and thereby the coast-
al communities that are
dying amid the economic
downturn.
During hard times, the
people turn to seafood,
said fisherman Richard
Van Munster, saying the
industry provides jobs and
food for people.

Crawfordville Elementary's Eco-Ambassadors meet


The delegation: Rep. Bembry, Sen. Lawson, Rep. Coley


Historian Madeleine Carr to speak

on local 'scoundrel' William Bo les


The St. Marks Waterfronts
Partnership will host one of
its quarterly "Truth, Tales,
Facts & Fiction" events next
week this one focusing on
the historic figure of William
Augustus Bowles.
Historian Madeleine Carr,
who organized the Bowles ex-
hibit "Portrait of a Scoundrel"
currently on display at Fort
San Marcos de Apalachee,
will speak about Bowles.
The program will be held
on Thursday, Feb. 25, at the
fort beginning at 7 p.m.
Bowles was in the St.
Marks area during a time of
social unrest, the late 18th
and early 19th century, and
was self-declared chief of the
Muskogee Indians. Bowles
and his followers attacked


the Panton, Leslie trading
post on the Wakulla River
and the Spanish garrison
at the fort at San Marcos.
The Muskogee flag even
flew over the fort for a few
weeks.
The event will ask partici-
pants to vote on the question,
was Bowles a scoundrel? Carr
will discuss those who dis-
liked Bowles, and whether
he was an advocate for the
natives, and how he should
be considered by hisorians,
given the complex social
unrest of the era.
All are invited to enjoy
the food and discussion.

"Is your dinner a world
traveler?" That was the ques-
tion posed by Scott Jackson
of the Wakulla County Ex-
tension Service to members
of Crawfordville Elementary
School's Eco-Ambassadors.
Jackson appeared at a club
meeting on Feb. 8 and talked
to the students about what
they eat and where their food
comes from. The students
learned that most of the food
on American dinner tables
travels an average of 1,500
miles and involves the burn-


ing of many gallons of oil and
gas. He also introduced them
to the terms "locavore" and
"Wakullavore," and explained
that the benefits of eating
locally are not just about
saving gas, but also include
getting better, fresher meat
and produce.
Jackson emphasized the
advantages of knowing the
source of your food and how


4j1


A'


it is produced. He explained
the idea of Community Sup-
ported Agriculture, in which
a consumer pays a farmer a
certain amount for so many
weeks' shares of whatever
the farmer is producing at
that time.
A highlight of Mr. Jack-
son's presentation was an
old film about the original
Victory Gardens of World War


II and how gardens today can
help us really save on our
food budgets and give us a
sense of accomplishment and
independence.
The group of 45 students
in Eco-Amabassadors agerly
await each month for their af-
ter-school meeting sponsored
by Renee Kelly, Maggie Strick-
land, Angela Den Bleyker, and
Barbara Updegraff.

THE WAKULLA NEWS, Thursday, Feb. 18, 2010 Page 7A


Nine students go to

All-District Concert


Diane Driggers with district administrators and school staff.


Diane Driggers named District


Teacher of the Year


Nine students from Wakul-
la County middle and high
schools participated in the
All-District Band Concert on
Jan. 23 at Godby High School
in Tallahassee.
Students performing from
Riversprings Middle School
were Robbie McBride on
French horn and Mitchell
Atkinson and J.P. Piotrowski,
both on trombone.
Michael Cooper and Seth
McManus, both on tuba,
represented Wakulla Middle
School.
Wakulla High students
were Mario Rivieccio and
Eric Parks on the trombone,
Mallory Thompson on oboe
and Luke McManus playing
percussion.
Band directors Wayne Wat-
kins (WHS), Carmen Williams
(RMS), and Laura Hudson
(WMS) assisted at the rehears-
als and concert. All directors
were very proud of their stu-
dents participating in the
festival and hope to have even
more students auditioning for


this event next year.
Two of the students par-
ticipating in the All-District
event also represented Wakul-
la County in Tampa in early
January. Robbie McBride per-
formed with the middle school
honor band and Mario Riviec-
cio was chosen for All-State for
the fourth consecutive year,
this year performing with the
All-State Senior High Band.
These nine musicians were
selected by audition to partici-
pate in this prestigious event,
along with students from 21
other schools in Leon and Tay-
lor counties. The All-District
Band provides the opportu-
nity for students to challenge
themselves to a higher level of
music with other students of
outstanding musicianship.
The All-District conductor
for the middle school was Ms.
Jeanie Berry from Southeast
Middle School of Orlando. The
high school band conductor
was Mr. Thomas Singletary
from Eau Gallie High School
in Melbourne.


Riversink Elementary
School teacher Diane Drig-
gers was announced by Su-
perintendent David Miller
as the 2010 Wakulla County
Teacher of the Year on Fri-
day, Feb. 12.
"Mrs. Driggers is a shin-
ing example of a teacher
who loves her students and
continues to learn as much
as she can to help them suc-
ceed in the classroom," said
Miller. "She also uses her
vast experience to mentor
new teachers and to pass on
her knowledge as an adjunct
professor teaching Elementa-
ry Math Methods to aspiring
teachers at Flagler College's
Tallahassee campus."
Driggers has a Bachelor's
degree in Elementary Educa-
tion and a Master's degree
in Teaching and Learning.
Also a National Board certi-
fied teacher, she is in her
19th year of teaching. Cur-
rently she teaches a fourth
grade inclusion class and has
taught grades two through
four throughout her career.
"To be an effective teacher
it is important to keep your
'teaching spark,'" she said,
"that little flame that burns
inside us and keeps us lov-
ing what we do."
One of her main goals
last year was to improve her
students' writing skills. She
aimed for at least half of her
students scoring a 4 or high-
er on the Florida Writing As-
sessment given to students
in grades four, eight, and 10.


READING
and TALKING with a
young child 20
minutes a 4y ...

is the best
way to get
READY TO

school!


Last year 3.5 was considered
on grade level on a scale of
zero to 6. She exceeded her
goal with 52 percent earning
4 or higher, and 88 percent
earning a 3 or higher.
More importantly, she
said, "My students began
to develop some wonderful
writing traits along with a
stronger love for writing."
She is a member and two-
term chapter president of the
Delta Kappa Gamma women
educators' honor society, and
an educational partner with
the Mary Brogan Museum
of Art and Science. Other
memberships include those
in the Florida Parent Teacher
Association, National Sci-
ence Teachers Association,
Florida Science Teachers
Association, National Edu-
cation Association, Florida


THESavv

SENIOR


Education Association, and
the Wakulla County Teachers
Association.
"She is truly dedicated
to each and every student
she teaches," said Riversink
Elementary Principal Jackie
High. "Plus she is a wonder-
ful role model for her peers.
She believes in giving back
to her profession."
Driggers will go on to
compete with Teachers of
the Year from the other 66
school districts in the state,
and will attend a celebration
with these colleagues this
summer in Orlando.
She is married to John
Driggers and has a daughter,
Angela Edwards. Her mother
is Angela Devereaux.
Other school-level Teach-
ers of the Year for 2010 are
Chris Martin, Wakulla Pre-K;


Cindy Loney, Crawfordville
Elementary; Annette Allen,
Medart Elementary; Linda
Sharp, Shadeville Elementa-
ry; Mina Sutton, Riversprings
Middle School; Regina Strick-
land, Wakulla Middle School;
and Sarabeth Jones, Wakulla
High School.
All of these candidates
were elected by their fac-
ulties to represent their
schools. Then a panel of
judges from various areas in
education ranging from Pre-
Kindergarten through Adult
Education who did not know
the candidates evaluated
their written applications
and interviews.
These representatives and
all Wakulla County teachers
will be honored at a celebra-
tion on March 22 at Medart
Elementary School.

By Ethel Skipper this invaluable nugget
Known as the first fe- of wisdom regarding her
male self-made million- great success: "There is no
aire in the early 1900's,
Madam C.J. Walkei \was
the head of a black halln-
care empire. No longer
would black women
have to deal with
split ends, dry
damaged hair,
or the endless
amount of
problems en-
dured as a re-
sult of not hav-
ing access to
hair-care prod-
ucts that catered
to their hair tex-
ture. Walker's in- "
novative products.
were a godsend to


black women and thus
made her an inciedibly'
wealthy woman wealth
she used to create profit-
able jobs for other black
women.
Walker cultivated a
sales team that canvassed
the nation working on
commission. She also was
a generous philanthropist
,donating two-thirds of
her estate to educational
institutions and various
charities. She left behind

royal flower-strewn path
to success. And if there is,
I have not found it for if
I have accomplished any-
thing in life it is because I
have been willing to work
hard."
There will be a three-
night revival at the Skip-


per Temple Church of

By Shelley Swenson
I am so pleased to offer this
course to those interested in
learning more about nutrition,
foods, exercise and healthy
lifestyle choices.
The series will begin on
Feb. 25 and will be held from
10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and again
from 7p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on a
weekly basis at the extension
office, 84 Cedar Avenue.
The 10-week series will be
completed by June 3. A cel-
ebration party will follow.
There are so many weight
loss programs available. I
believe in a more basic ap-
proach one that looks at
some of the habits that have
been so ingrained in our daily
practice yet may not be to our
best advantage, health-wise.
If you are currently taking
part in another weight loss
program, please consider this
series as an auxiliary source
of encouragement and tools
to make you more successful
in your pursuit of a healthier
lifestyle.
The course, Toward Perma-
nent Weight Management ,
was developed by Dr. Linda
Bobroff, a state food and nutri-
tion specialist. It is based on
the approach that de-empha-
sizes weight loss and stresses
the importance of behavior


oneself," but I promise no one
will feel uncomfortable with
the process.
I love the subject of nutri-
tion and health. I have made
significant changes in my hab-
its in my past and have never
felt better. I know that my diet
and exercise plan have contrib-
uted to my present physical,
mental and emotional health.
Have I gotten you interested?
To register, call the exten-
sion office at 926-3931. The
class costs $20 and members
receive $2 for every class they
attend.
If unable to pay, please let
me know and I will seek out-
side funding for you. Other
supplies needed are a three-
ring binder for materials and
a pedometer. You may want
to come to the first class to
discuss the pedometer's use
before purchasing.
Shelly Swenson is an Exten-
sion Agent II with the Wakulla
County Extension Office.


The dynamic duo of Shannon & Chelsea will make
their Sopchoppy Opry debut on Saturday, Feb. 27 at
7 p.m. in the historic Sopchoppy High School Audi-
torium. Also appearing will be Col. Wayne Martin

The curriculum is based on
the basic concept that human
beings come in a variety of
sizes and shapes. We celebrate
diversity as a positive charac-
teristic of the human race.
There is no ideal body size,
shape or weight that every
individual should strive to
achieve. Everybody has a
good body, whatever its size
or shape.
Good health is not defined
by body size. It is a state of
physical, mental and social
well-being. And people of all
sizes and shapes can reduce
their risk of poor health by
adopting a healthy lifestyle.
I am looking for people
who would like to return to
basics. I want to review with
participants what is good
nutrition, what habits are
practiced that may not be to in
one's best interest, and what
steps can be taken to change
behavior. There needs to be

Sheriff's Report


Wakulla County Sheriff's
Office officials investigated
an act of fraud reported on
Feb. 11 by a deaf couple from
Crawfordville.
According to the report,
the victims purchased a
mobile home from Manual
Randolph and hired him to
set up the home. The suspect
demanded $15,000 up front
for the purchase of the mo-
bile home as well as another
$5,000 to set it up. The vic-
tims and the suspect entered
into a Security Agreement
on Nov. 3.
The victim wrote a check
to Randolph for the initial
$15,000 for the purchase of
the mobile home under the
agreement he would return
and set up the home with an-
chors and connect the water
pipes. The victim reported
Randolph moved the mobile
home onto the property
and left without complet-
ing the set up. The victim
then reported Randolph
demanded more money,
another $1,000.
A witness advised the
victim not to give Randolph
any more money until he
finished the set up but the
victim gave him the money
anyway. The victim reported
her husband inspected un-
derneath the mobile home
to see if Randolph had con-


nected the water pipes and
if the anchors were put in
place but none of the set
up was done and Randolph
had not returned. The wit-
ness told the investigator the
victims needed someone to
help them hold Randolph
accountable.
The victim provided the
sheriff's office with the
original security agreement,
signed by both the victim
and Randolph, demonstrat-
ing Randolph has failed to
fulfill his part of the security
agreement. Randolph was
fully aware of the victims'
disabilities and has willfully
exploited the victims.
The case has been for-
warded to the Criminal
Investigation Division for
further investigation. Capt.
Steve Ganey investigated.
On Feb. 13, at approxi-
mately 10:37 a.m., Jeremy
Parmer reported a burglary
at his hunting plot on Mar-
tin Luther King Jr. Memorial
Highway. The victim report-
ed he arrived to the property
to scatter corn on a food
plot to which he reported
having hunting access, and
discovered his climbing tree
stand and a digital game
camera missing. The victim
described the tree stand as
a gray Summit Viper val-
ued at $250, and the digital

The investigator noted
paint balls on the ground
and markings on several
trees where the paint balls
had been shot. There was
also one Natural Light beer
can on the ground but no
prints could be obtained
due to the large quantity of
rain in recent days. Deputy
Nicholas Boutwell investi-
gated.
Deputy Fredrick John-
son was called to Wakulla
High School responding to
two separate incidents.
On Feb. 9, a student re-
ported a stolen Apple iPod
Shuffle. The student report-
ed the theft occurred on
Jan. 27 between the hours
of 3:30 p.m. and 5:10 p.m.
at the track practice field.
The victim reported she
left her purse and book bag
on the bleachers when she
started track practice and
at approximately 5:10 p.m.
she discovered her iPod
Shuffle missing. The victim
described the iPod as a blue
2GB iPod.
On Feb. 12, Mike Gauger,
a teacher at Wakulla High
School, reported his iPod
Nano had been stolen from
his desk on Feb. 11. The
victim described the iPod as


a black, 8GB iPod and esti-
mated the value at $135.
The victim provided the
name of a suspect who
was then questioned and
searched but the iPod was
not found. The victim then
provided names of witnesses
who saw the suspect with
the iPod on Feb. 11 in the
lunch room and when ques-
tioned, the witnesses con-
firmed they saw the suspect
with the iPod. The witnesses
provided sworn affidavits.
The suspect then admitted
to taking the iPod and would
return it to its owner.

Court Shorts


By WILLIAM SNOWDEN
wsnowden@thewakullanews.net
A man with eight previous
convictions for driving with a
suspended license, who had
served a year and a day in
state prison on the charge
and had been out of prison
for three months when he
was stopped again for driving
without a license, was in
court this week to plea to the
charge.
The man, John Oaks of
Crawfordville, told the court
that he had tried to get a
hardship license or a driver's
permit to drive to work,
but was continually denied
because he owed so much
money in traffic fines. The
most recent arrest, he said,
came when he was driving
to the store to get milk and
bread for his child.
Oaks pleaded no contest
to the charge of felony driving
with license suspended or
revoked (DWSLR) in circuit
court on Wednesday, Feb.
10. Oaks entered the plea
without any agreement with
the prosecutor on what his
sentence should be, and he
and his attorney, Assistant
Public Defender Blair Boyd,
asked Wakulla Circuit Judge
N. Sanders Sauls not to send
Oaks back to prison.
"He's just not getting the
hint," Assistant State Attorney


Shepard Bruner said of Oaks.
Bruner asked the court to
give Oaks 18 months in state
prison.
Judge Sauls doubled that
- ordering Oaks to serve
three years in state prison, but
suspended the prison term,
placing Oaks on probation for
four years and requiring that
he obtain a hardship license
within six months.
Oaks' ex-wife testified at
the hearing, asking the judge
for leniency, saying Oaks had
made significant changes in
his life and was now working
to be an example to their
son.
Judge Sauls echoed those
comments as he pronounced
sentence, saying: "Talk about

setting an example... Nine
DWLSRs. That's incredible."
Also in circuit court on
Wednesday, Feb. 10:
A man who deputies
allegedly found sitting in a
car in June with a number of
stolen firearms and about an
ounce of marijuana pleaded
no contest to the felony drug
charge and was sentenced to
three years in state prison.
In exchange for the plea,
the state dropped a felony
charge of carrying a concealed
weapon.
According to the arrest
report, Jeffrey Davis, 21, was
sitting in a car in a high-
crime area with another man
and a deputy approached
the vehicle. Davis was in


the driver's seat and the
passenger in the vehicle was
known to the deputy as a
convicted felon on probation.
The deputy reportedly saw the
passenger make a suspicious
move as though handling a
firearm and ordered the man
out of the car he ran into
the woods.
Inside the car, the deputy
allegedly found a number of
firearms, including six semi-
automatic pistols that had
reportedly been stolen in
recent burglaries. There was
also about an ounce of pot
packed in nickel bags.
The charge of possession
of a controlled substance
with intent to sell is a felony
punishable by up to five


years in prison. Crawfordville
attorney Steven Glazer
represented Davis.
A 47-year-old Panacea
man who threatened a couple
with a .44 Magnum and fired a
shot in the air was ordered to
serve two years of probation
and perform 30 days in the
sheriff's work camp.
William Hodges was
reportedly stumbling drunk
on May 19 and went to the
victim's house. He was cursing
and spitting on the floor
and, when they told him he
needed to leave, he allegedly
went out to his truck and got
his pistol and returned and
pointed it at them. He fired a


shot in the air and left.
Hodges was originally
charged with two counts of
aggravated assault with a
firearm, third degree felonies
punishable by five years in
prison, and a misdemeanor
charge of discharging a firearm
in public, punishable by up
to a year in jail. His lawyer,
Crawfordville attorney David
Kemp, negotiated a plea deal
in which the felonies were
reduced to misdemeanors
in exchange for two one-
year terms of probation to
be served consecutively. As
a condition of probation,
Hodges was ordered to
consume no alcohol.

-,.,Outdoors


One might ask why
any sane adult would get
up at 5:30 a.m. to drive
40 miles and stand in
overcast cold weather to
look for birds.
If I'm not working for
the state wading through
swamps of Tate's Hell
State Forest, I'm at home
doing taxidermy or taking
care of domestic animals.
I needed a break so I
spent the whole day at
the St. Marks National
Wildlife Refuge, working
from dawn to dusk and
walking many miles.
My main objective was
to observe wildlife and
birds.
Just a few weeks ago
I checked out the refuge
during the daylight hours
and recorded 83 species.
On that date I started
observing at Headquarters
Pond near the lighthouse
and worked my way by
foot ending up at the
visitor center at dusk. At
a later time, I reversed
everything starting out
around the visitor center
and its plum Orchard
Pond and through the day
worked my way toward the
lighthouse. At one point
I walked to Stony Bayou
Pool #2 and eventually
ended up at Headquarters
Pond. I awaited a pair of
Great Horned Owls to
call from beneath the
old Bald Eagle's nest east
of the new observation
platform.
At 5:50 p.m., they both
started up with their soft
"WHO who who-WHO
who. At that point I drove
to the two bridges just
south of the visitors center
to identify wood ducks
and hear Barred Owls in
that wooded swamn.

They performed right
on time.
By 6:30 p.m., I recorded
81 species. I concentrated
on the Lighthouse Road
and the dikes and pools.
The work gets me outdoors
and gives me a chance to
exercise as well as meet
folks of similar interest
who often share their
sightings and tip me off
about the rarities they've
seen in our region.
On Jan. 28, a small
subspecies of the Canada
Goose, Branta canadensis,
with a stubbybill called the
cackling goose, clear from
the northwestern part of
Alaska was hanging out at
the Lighthouse Pool. The
Neotropic Cormorant from
Mexico is still being seen
on the pilings out from
the dike by the lighthouse.
Its tail is the same length
as our Double-Crested
Cormorant it often roosts
with, but the body is one-
quarter smaller.
The key identification
mark is a thin white border
to its normally blacker
body feathers where they
join the lower mandible.
To view it you need to be
at the lighthouse in the
morning when the light is
right. In the afternoon it
will be more silhouetted
by the sun.
Last Sunday morning
started out rather raw
and I found my gloves

"handy" while out on the
open dikes.
During the late
morning, the clouds
opened up and the warm
sun broke through giving
much better lighting. I
try to keep the sun to my
back for good viewing.
The waterfowl I
observed included: two
wood ducks, six northern
pintails, 40 blue-winged
teals. 300 green-winged
teals, 20 Northern
Shovelors, 300 widgeons,
six canvasbacks, 200
redheads, 120 ring-necked
ducks, 30 lesser scaups,
80 buffleheads, three red
breasted mergansers and
16 ruddy ducks.
The ring-necked ducks
were almost all at the
Headquarters Pond. When
I viewed them it was
about 5:30 p.m. and the
lighting was perfect.
The Lighthouse Pool
was teeming with 1,500
coots and widgeons.
In Stony Bayou Pool #1
there were four Avocets,
flashy white and black
shore birds with their
upturned bills and two
black necked stilts, a real
long legged dandy.
I didn't see any falcons
or accipiters, but did see
a Bald Eagle and a few
ospreys being chased by
the eagle for the fish in
its talons,
I also saw the northern


harrier about five times
and without fail, it will
always be a brownish
female.
The grayish male just
doesn't seem to come this
far south.
One bird of prey I've
never seen along the
Lighthouse Road is the
black vulture. I've seen
plenty in other parts of
the refuge and county, but
none in that area. I always
see turkey vultures there.
I really lucked out
at the visitor center
parking lot when I got a
good look at a Dark-eyed
Junco. The slate gray body
with pink bill and white
outer tail feathers were
unmistakable.
The junco ranges
into North Florida every
winter, but in the 23 years
I have lived in Wakulla
County, it is the first one
I've seen in Florida.
Years ago, I had a
federal bird banding
permit and while living
in Indiana I banded
hundreds of these hardy
"snowbirds" as they are
often called.
I had a drop trap that
I made out of hardware
cloth. I would put it in the
snow, sprinkle bird seed
in it and wait inside the
house with a pull string
to jerk the prop stick.
It wasn't uncommon to
trap 10 to 20 birds every
15 minutes or so. I know
what juncos look like.
Later in the afternoon
on the Lighthouse dike,
I met three couples from
Utah. They had seen the
same bird at the visitor
center. I met another
couple who had seen one
near the East River Pool
launch ramp area.

From The Dock

xi BY CAPT. JODY CAMPBELL


I just got back from
New Orleans where I
have a seminar every
year and if it makes you
feel any better, fishing
out there is lousy too. I
typically stay over and
fish a couple of days in
Venice for redfish but the
person I go with said the
river was up about 13 feet
and thought we would
just be going on a boat
ride. I told him I could
probably catch that many
fish back home and that
I would come back in the
spring when things get
better.
I just went on to
myhometownfishing.
com and Otto Hough said
that according to his logs
and journals this has
been the worst winter
for fishing since 1997.
More rain, more cold
weather and more small-
craft advisories which all
lead to lousy wintertime
fishing.
I called Shell Island
Fish camp to just see if
by chance someone had
been fishing out of there
and she did say a boat
went offshore to try to
catch some rock bass or
grunts and they fished
in 40 feet of water and
did not get a bite. They
also said the water was
dirty and the surface
temperature was 49
degrees. Put those things
together and it can make
for some pretty dang
lousy fishing.
I know everyone has
been cooped up in the
house all winter and are
chomping at the bit to
get out and try that new
rod-and-reel they got for
Christmas, but for now I
think I would just leave
it wrapped up. It's gonna
get better of course, but
we need some warm
weather and no rain.
It's gonna be
interesting to see what
the spring fishing is
gonna be like. I am very
optimistic and I believe
those fish are gonna be
extremely hungry after
this cold season.
You think it's tough
for you not being able to
go fishing, think about
the folks who own bait
and tackle stores. I know
it's hard not ordering
stuff on the internet but


we really need to support
our local people or we're
gonna head down to the
coast fishing one day and
realize we forgot to get
those Gulps we needed.
Problem is, everyone has
gone out of business and
there's nowhere to buy
any.
Advantage Marine,
Circle J's and Mike
Hopkins Lanark Village
Store all closed their
doors within the past two
years because of the bad
economic times. We need
to remember those folks
who are open at 6 a.m. so
you can stop by and pick
up those live shrimp or
frozen squid. Before you
place that internet order
call one of them and see
if they have what you're
looking for.
If you're going to be
fishing out of St. Marks
remember Jerry's Bait
and Tackle on Woodville
Highway, Shields Marina
on the St. Marks River,
and Shell Island Fish
Camp on the Wakulla
River. All are open early
and carry a wide variety
of baits and tackle.
If you're gonna be
fishing out of Panacea or
heading down to Lanark
you can stop by AMS
Marine in Medart, Crum's
Mini Mall in Panacea
or Mashes Sands BP at
the Ochlockonee River
Bridge. These folks are
also open early and carry
a wide variety of bait and
tackle.
We've all heard
how bad ethanol is for
outboard motors. The
folks at Crum's know that
too and carry regular gas
without ethanol.
If you need something
for your boat, you'll be
sure to find it at Mike's
Marine in Panacea,
Shields Marina in St.
Marks and St. Marks
Marine. Shell Island Fish
Camp, AMS and Crum's
also carry some parts and
accessories for your boat.
Remember to leave
that float plan with
someone if you are gonna
be on the water and
know that trout season is
closed until March 1 and
grouper season is closed
til the first of April.
Good luck and good
fishing

Coast Guard Auxiliary Reports
By Sherrie Alverson


My thanks to Carolyn
Treadon, Flotilla 12 (St.
Marks) reporter, for
providing news for this
week's column. For the
first time in a long time I
was unable to attend the
Conference in Fort Walton
Beach this past week.
Carolyn's report: "This
has been a busy week for
Flotilla 12 members. On
Tuesday Tiffanie Bourassa
and Mike Harrison
participated in Ft. Braden
Middle School's Career Day.
Many different professions
were represented. Flotilla
12 was asked to represent
the Coast Guard at the fair
since they (the Active Duty
personnel) were not able to
attend.
There were three
sessions where a total of
approximately seventy 6th,
7th, and 8th graders learned
about career opportunities
with the Coast Guard. It
was a real reminder for
us that when Auxiliarists
are in uniform, we are
representing something


greater than ourselves and
are often perceived as active
duty by many!
This weekend was also
the Coast Guard Auxiliary
District 8 Conference in Ft.
Walton Beach. This annual
event is held in conjunction
with our Division
meeting. District/Division
conferences are a great place
for training, meeting other
members in the Auxiliary,
and the opportunity to visit
the Coast Guard stations,
New member training
at the conference gave
new Auxiliarists within the
District the opportunity to
meet with the active duty
side of the Coast Guard at
Coast Guard Station Destin.
A tour of the facility was
given focusing on the
various duties of the station
personnel and the close
relationship between the
active Coast Guard and the
Auxiliary.
The tour was completed
with a delicious lunch at the
mess deck prepared by Coast
Guard personnel. Following


the tour, the group returned
to the conference and had
more orientation training as
well as a special chance to
ask questions of our Coast
Guard liaison officer, CWO
Ashley Gordon, from the
Director of Auxiliary Office
in New Orleans..
Sunday morning, our
Division 1 held its winter
business meeting. While it
was a smaller turnout than
normal, we had a good time
and lots of information
was shared about the
happenings in our Flotillas.
Sadly our Division Vice
Commander, Mo Davis, was
not able to be with us due
to an illness in his family,
Our division board
and staff were pleased to
welcome several guests
to our meeting including
Coast Guardsmen Captain
Steven Poulin, Commanding
Officer, Sector Mobile;
Master Chief Jeff Patton,
Officer-In-Charge, Coast
Guard Station Destin and
LT Steve Caskey, CG Station
Panama City. Auxiliarists


included District Captain-
East Larry King and Past
District Commodore Bill
Crouch.
Commodore Crouch
administered the oath
of office to division staff
officers who were not able to
attend the Change of Watch
ceremony in December. It
was interesting to note that
all but Joe were from Flotilla
12.
A focus and theme
common among all the
reports was the commitment
to serve the Auxiliary and
its members as well as the
boating public. All seven
of the Division's Flotillas
were represented and
the Flotilla Commanders
discussed their successes
and challenges. It was
great to see everyone again
and hear about how we are
making such a difference.
Captain Poulin, Sector
Mobile, addressed the
group and discussed
his appreciation for the
Auxiliary's work assisting
the Coast Guard. He also

expressed his sadness in
being asked to move to
Washington, D.C. to serve
as the Chief of the Coast
Guard Congressional Affairs
Office. He said that it was
a very hard decision to go,
but that he feels he can do
the greatest good for the
Coast Guard and Auxiliary
from that vantage point.
Lt. Steve Caskey
discussed the large impact
the Auxiliary has in helping
the Active Duty reach its
goals. In our Division
alone, we provided over
350 Uninspected Passenger
Vessel inspections alone,
This is a greater number
than anyone expected.
Another tid-bit they
shared. Last year, the
number of hours the
Auxiliary dedicated equated


to a breakdown of over $20
a hour if we were to be paid.
Quite a savings.
The awards received
in our division are too
great to list here, however
each Flotilla did leave
with at least some form of
recognition. Our Division
as a whole received the
Most Outstanding Division
Award for 2009. This is
due to the unwavering
dedication of a great group
of folks!
After her report Carolyn
added another sentence
for my information, and I
think it should be shared
with our readers, "Tiffanie
Bourassa and Duane (her
husband) helped in writing
the column this week!"
Remember, safe boating
is no accident!

Gowans is new principal


at Wakulla Christian


The Big Bend Barkfest float at the Sweetheart Parade on Saturday, Feb. 13,


Barkfest is set for March 6


Dr. Don E. Gowans has
recently been named as the
new principal at Wakulla
Christian School. He replaces
the school's founding princi-
pal, Jim Pound, who died in
December.
Gowans has been in
Christian education since
1975. After teaching three
years at Temple Christian
School in Lakeland, and then
taking a year off to earn his
master's degree, he began
his administrative career re-
turning to Temple Christian
to serve as the high school
principal. In 1987, he took
another year off to finish
his doctoral dissertation.
That year also provided an
opportunity for him to serve


as the executive assistant to
Dr. Howard Burke, executive
director of the Florida Asso-
ciation of Christian Colleges
and Schools.
Since then, he has served
as the administrator of Jupi-
ter Christian School, Colonial
Christian School in Home-
stead, Cypress Community
Christian School in Houston,
and University Christian
School in Jacksonville. He
has also served as the as-
sistant superintendent at In-
dian Rocks Christian Schools
in Largo and the assistant
administrator of North Flor-
ida Christian School in Tal-
lahassee.
He was born and grew
up in Tulsa, Okla., where


his grandfather once served
as the Tulsa Public Schools'
superintendent of schools,
Gowans received his higher
education in South Carolina
and Florida. In addition to
a Bachelor's Degree in Bible
and master's in educational
administration and supervi-
sion from Bob Jones Uni-
versity, Gowans holds the
Education Specialist degree
in educational administra-
tion from Pensacola Chris-
tian College, and the Doc-
tor of Religious Education
degree from International
Seminary,
His wife of 35 years, Di-
ane, has taught for many
years at the lower elemen-
tary level.


Big Bend Barkfest is right
around the corner. The first
annual festival for dogs by
dogs will be held at Wakulla
High School on March 6 to
raise funds for medicines
and supplies for homeless
dogs in shelters and adop-
tion centers in the Big Bend
area.
The festival will open
with a parade of "formerly
homeless" dogs around 9
a.m. Space Coast War Dog
Association will exhibit its
War Dog Memorial. Asso-
ciation president Sheri Wells
hopes to bring with her a
military K-9 and handler
from Hurlburt Field.
If you are planning to at-
tend the parade with your
dog please go to bigbend-
barkfest.com, and print and
fill out the parade registra-


tion form for quicker pro-
cessing at the gate. All dogs
must have a signed entry
form, must be well social-
ized, wearing a current rabies
tag or have proof of vaccina-
tion, be spayed or neutered,
and be on a five-foot leash
at all times. Admission is $5
per person.
The festival promises to
be tons of fun with many
demonstrations by our ca-
nine friends. Local kennel
Jacks BOuick will showcase
Jack Russell Terrier races.
There will be an agility dem-
onstration by a formerly
homeless dog, as well as a
birding demonstration, pro-
fessional Frisbee catching
dogs, and police dogs just
to name a few of the activi-
ties planned.
If you love dogs, you will


not want to miss this event.
Costume contests in vari-
ous categories along with
Wiener races (entry forms on
the website) promise to be a
hoot and very entertaining
for the entire family. During
the festival, you will also
"meet the breeds" and learn
all about many interesting
canine breeds.
If you are interested in
adopting a new companion,
several adoption agencies
will be on the premises and
will be happy to introduce
you to their available dogs.
Help the dogs and bring
the family out for a day
of fun, browse the vendor
booths and enjoy delicious
food by Sonny's Barbecue,
Posey's, and others.

Local residents Emily Westmark, Shea Harrington, Jason Westmark, Madison Har-
ris traveled to the Kennedy Space Center recently and met astronaut Winston Scott.
The group toured the space center on Feb. 6 to watch the Space Shuttle Endeavour
launch the next day, Feb. 7 at 4:39 a.m. Meeting Scott, who attended the opening of
the Challenger Learning Center in Tallahassee several years ago, was a highlight of
the trip. The planned space shuttle launch STS 130 Endeavour was delayed almost
exactly 24 hours to Feb. 8 at 4:15 a.m. After the launch, the crew of the Endeavour
did carry out their mission and successfully attached a new observation deck to the
International Space Station after a long, frustrating night spent dealing with stuck
bolts and wayward wiring.

Marine Lab


to host lecture
A lecture on the decline of marine species
and creation of protected areas will be held
at the FSU Marine Laboratory in St. Teresa on
Thursday, Feb. 18, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
"Designing Marine Reserves for Population
Persistence in Theory and Practice" will be
presented by J. Wilson White, Ph.D., a post-
doctoral scholar in the Department of Wild-
life, Fish, and Conservation Biology in the
Bodega Marine Laboratory at the University
of California-Davis. White's research focuses
on ecology, evolution and behavior, and on
the broad goal of combining first-rate basic
science with important applied questions.
There is growing evidence from around the
globe that both fished and unfished popula-
tions of many marine species are declining in
abundance and resilience. The implementa-
tion of marine protected areas (MPAs) is an
increasingly popular remedy for this decline,
and there is some empirical evidence that
MPAs are successful in this role. However,
the effectiveness of an MPA depends on
the size of the protected area relative to the
spatial scale and pattern of fish movement,
and on the intensity of fishing outside the
MPA boundaries. These factors are uncertain
or even unknown for most species, making it
difficult to design MPAs that will protect an
entire marine community effectively.
Lecture series attendees are encouraged
to bring a non-perishable food item and
help solve the community's hunger crisis.
The FSU Coastal and Marine Laboratory col-
lects non-perishable food at each monthly
lecture, in association with Second Harvest
of the Big Bend.

Oil-drilling propose
More than 120 people lined
up at Shell Point Saturday to join
hands along the beach to protest
efforts to open up oil drilling
within three miles of the coast.
Protestors contend that oil
drilling would endanger Flor-
ida's coast and its marine re-
sources as well as the $65 billion
tourism industry that depends


sals draw concern


on them.
Shell Point resident Sue Da-
mon, who helped organize the
local protest that was part of
a state-wide effort, noted that
more than a half-million gallons
of oil spilled from rigs, tanks,
and pipelines in the Gulf of
Mexico during hurricanes Ka-
trina and Rita.


Nature Conservancy buys acreage


Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and
the Florida Cabinet approved buy-
ing 2,800 acres from The Nature
Conservancy to add to the Aucilla
Wildlife Management Area in Jef-
ferson County. The Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission
will manage the property, purchased
through the Florida Forever program
using FWC's funding for inholdings
and additions to their managed
areas.
The Nature Conservancy origi-
nally bought the property because
of its significant resource value and
its key location: It forms a two-mile
boundary with the St. Marks Nation-


al Wildlife Refuge and a three-mile
boundary with the Aucilla WMA.
The Conservancy acquired the
land as part of a 10,000-acre transac-
tion in January 2008 from Flint Rock
Investments, LLC after it was sold
by St. Joe Timber. The land is part
of the St. Joe Timber Florida Forever
Project, a top-21 ranked project, and
is also valued for its future benefit
to allow species and habitat to
adapt to climate change.
"The state greatly expanded
connectivity between the Aucilla
Wildlife Management Area and the
St. Marks on an almost nonexistent
north/south corridor of public man-


aged lands with this purchase," said
the Conservancy's Callie DeHaven,
public lands protection manager
in Tallahassee. "We are grateful to
be able to continue to assemble
these landscape linkages and for
the partnerships we continue to
forge in working to benefit future
generations."
The property is part of a vision
for a landscape linkage that includes
the 2008 Wood Sink purchase to
the north, important to the water
quality of not only the St. Marks
River but Apalachee Bay and the
estuary at St. Marks National Wild-
life Refuge.
