This aerial view of the Crystal River Springs shows a large herd of manatees. The springs feed Kings Bay.
Scientists and environmentalists are concerned about the health of the springs and the Impact that development
will have on them.

Freshwater sources could be in peril fom human actions

Much of Citrus County's identity
as a nature coast tourism destina-_
tion is directly tied to the three


first-magnitude springs on
the coast; but are the
springs in jeopardy and do
they need protection?
The springs generate a
combined 195 million gal-
lons of fresh water every
day for the Crystal River,
Chassahowitzka and Hom-
osassa rivers and Kings
Bay. Those water bodies
are the heart "Of'coastal
tourism in the county.
And tourism generates
money for local business-
es.

County officials say they are com-
mitted to protecting the springs,
but they also acknowledge they
face challenges in protecting the
springs in a high growth county.
The question is, how can growth be
balanced against the need for
healthy springs?


Few statistics are available to
identify the importance of springs
to the Citrus County economy.
However, a state economic study
of Homosassa Springs Wildlife
State Park in 2002 found that visi-
tors contributed $13.6 million to
the local economy The
tourism revenues created
lories 206 jobs. The average vis-
trus itor spent $89 on food,
rty lodging, gas and enter-
rs when tainment.

ne, The state park attracted
Efforts 265,977 visitors that year.
ve More than 300,000 visitors
came to the park in 2004.
gs~ Although the county
la has never conducted its
ME 1C own study on the econom-
ic impact of the springs,
Mary Craven, the county's
tourism director, said the springs
and the rivers are the county's
identity.
"The springs make our rivers.
Without them, we wouldn't be
Citrus County," Craven said.

Highwaymen landscape paintings exhibit draws crowds


Black artists traveled Florida during 1950s


CRISTY LoFTIS

Chronicle
When the Highwaymen began
painting in the 1950s, their motto was
simple: Paint it quick and sell it fast.
Often buyers took home artwork
still wet with paint
The Highwaymen were a group of
black artists from the Fort Pierce area
who traveled throughout Florida dur-
ing the 1950s, selling landscape paint-
ings from car trunks and door-to-door
for $25 to $35 each.
Saturday, people gazed in awe at
the paintings displayed at the Old
Courthouse Heritage Museum in
Inverness, featuring 34 works by the
Highwaymen.
Artists Mary Ann Carroll and James


* WHAT: Exhibit of paintings by
Highwaymen artists.
WHEN: Ongoing, until April 27.
WHERE: Old Courthouse
Heritage Museum, Inverness.
COST: Free.

Gibson came to celebrate the opening
of the exhibit, sell artwork and talk
with visitors about their unique style.
Crystal River resident Patsy Woody
owns 11 paintings by Highwaymen
and came to the exhibit to meet
Gibson and Carroll
Woody bought her paintings when
she worked at a bank in south Florida
for between $15 to $50 each.
"These were bought way back in the
'70s," Woody said, pointing out that


the paintings are selling for several
thousand dollars now.
Each time she goes to a
Highwaymen exhibit, she brings her
book, "The Highwaymen" by Gary
Monroe, so that artists may sign it So
far, she's gotten five autographs.
"We follow them," Woody said. "We
probably have every article ever pub-
lished about them in the Sun
Sentinel."
Woody said what makes the paint-
ings so unique is their depiction of

HUMAN IMPACT
ON SPRINGS
* Pumping water from the
aquifer that feeds springs can
reduce the amount of ground-
water flowing to springs and
impact wildlife. Kissengen
Spring in Polk County stopped
flowing in 1950 due to
pumping in its recharge area.
* Chemicals such as fertilizers
and pesticides can soak
through the soil and reach the
groundwater flowing to a
spring.
* Septic tanks can contribute ....
bacteria, pathogens and
nutrients to the groundwater
flowing to springs.
* Bank erosion caused by
trampling can cause

Woman's club to involve schools in statue-painting project

JIM HUNTER

Chronicle
The Crystal River Woman's Club has.
been planning what it calls "a manatee
event" for the annual Manatee Festival
for the past couple of years, and the
2006 festival will see the fruits of their
work
Their project is to provide Fiberglas
adult and baby manatee statues to
schools in the Crystal River Woman's
Club district for artistic painting by stu-
dents.
After the statues are artistically ren-
dered and receive a protective coating,
they will be put on display for public
viewing. The art will be judged by a
panel of local artists and sponsors in
various categories, and awards will be
given to the winning art departments in
each category.
After the judging, the schools will be
able to keep their statues or donate


SPONSORS WANTED
The Crystal River Woman's Club

Fiberglas manatee statues to
schools for students to paint in
time for the 2006 Florida
Manatee Festival.

them back to the club for auction. The
money will be divided among the Save
Our Manatee Club, the schools' art
departments and the Crystal River
Woman's Club for operating expenses.
The schools are enthusiastic about the
project, the release said.
The club has planned the event for
almost two years, the release stated,
and was finalizing it when a private
group lead by former Crystal River
Mayor Curtis Rich recently announced
that it had quietly been planning a
"Manatee Magic" event for artistically


painted manatees based on the "Horse
Fever" model in Ocala a few years ago.
That type of event, using artistically
painted Fiberglas cows, horses or car-
toon figures, has been used around the
nation to focus attention on art and to
raise money for various cultural activi-
ties.
Lois Thomas, speaking for the
woman's club, said the group actually
would have liked to have done their
project this year, but had to wait
because the 2004 projects had already
been committed.
She stressed her group didn't intend
to be in competition or contention with
Rich's group, which is also focusing on
the Manatee Festival. The women's
club is a civic group that works for com-
munity projects, she said. Rich's group
said it wants to raise money for a cul-
tural arts center on the Nature Coast
Its manatees will be painted solely by
juried artists, and subsequently auc-
tioned.


Thomas, a well-known fund-raiser for
civic projects and causes in the county,
said sponsors for the women's club
project have already been contacted, as
well as locations for the painted mana-
tees to be displayed.
She said the club notified the Crystal
River City Council of its project and,
knowing that aesthetics are important
to the council, is hoping to have a des-
ignated liaison with the city to coordi-
nate the displays.
The club said it has worked closely
with the city on many local projects in
the past, such as the sale of bricks for
the sidewalk on Citrus Avenue, the
establishment of the first library, park
improvements, police patrols, firefight-
er support and landscaping projects,
among others.
Thomas said the club has some spon-
sors, but could always use more spon-
sors for the program. For information
about sponsoring the event, call 382-
0777 or 795-5488.

Bayard moved to Crystal
River in 1972 and began life as
a fisherman, selling his catches
to local restaurants.
In 1993, he switched to bait
fishing, earning himself the
title of "Baitman."
Bayard sold pinfish for $5 a
dozen from his 20-foot
Aquasport at marker No. 1,
leading from the Gulf to Crystal
River's entrance. Green algae
covered the outside of his boat
- friends said the slime was
just part of his trademark
The "Baitman" used zip ties
on everything. He loved gold
paint and used it generously on
his boat and in his house.
He had a knack for training
hungry sea birds. He liked
doing crossword puzzles in the


morning and drinking wine in
the evenings. He bought a 2004
Mercedes, but wore sunglasses
held together with electrical
tape. At Halloween, he gave
handfuls of spare change to
children.
He loved the Beatles song,
"Let it Be."
"Everyone knew the
Baitman," said Scott Standard
of the Apollo, a deep-sea fish-
ing boat
Bayard left Standard the
Aquasport in his will. The boat
sits on a lot in front of the
Apollos' dock, still covered
with green.
"That's the way he told me to
keep it," Standard said.

Bayard from the Apollo to

He was a gentleman, quiet and

people, 'Catch me next time.'

SPRINGS
Continued from Page 1A

The parkway factor
The county commission
,recently sent a report to the
"Florida Department of
Community Affairs identifying
springs protection as its first
priority. The Evaluation and
Appraisal Report (EAR) identi-
fled areas where the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan
,can be revised to enhance the
county and manage growth
over the next seven years.
But the question is how to do
;it
If Suncoast Parkway II is
built in western Citrus County,
part of the four-lane toll road
would run between U.S. 19 and
.County Road 491.
The four-lane toll road would
:probably.intersect one or more
of the first magnitude spring-
sheds, according to Mike
,-Bascom, who heads the
%Springs Initiative for the
,Florida Department of
'Environmental Protection.
; Springsheds are the land
.,areas from which springs
.:receive their water. When rain
Falls on the springsheds, it fil-
*ters through the soils to refill
.the aquifer, which is close to
.the surface of the land. The
'aquifer flows through under-
.ground limestone formations
.,to the springs where the water
:is discharged into rivers.
In Citrus County, the
Homosassa and Crystal River
*springsheds extend east to the
,ccentral part of the county.

$Enterpi-ise. has not completed
Mits environmental study of the

information about potential
impacts on the springs.
However, the project director,

Nathan Silva, said the springs
are part of the study.
The primary concern among
springs scientists is that the
parkway could accelerate resi-
dential growth near the high-
way, creating more streets,
roadways, lawns, houses and
driveways that produce
stormwater runoff laced with
pollutants pollutants
that could find their way
to the springs. They said
the road itself should
not be a problem as long li
as the drainage reten-
tion areas are designed
properly to treat
stormwater.
"It's not the building
of one road. It's what
springs up around it,"
said Greg Jones, direc-
tor of resource conservation
and development for the
Southwest Florida Water
Management District. "What
affects the springs is all the sin-
gle-family homes."
The counterargument, in
regard to the parkway, is that
the area between U.S. 19 and
County Road 491 would be
developed regardless of
whether the parkway is built
The area already has several
large population centers such
as Sugarmill Woods, as well as
a dozen or more smaller subdi-
visions with hundreds of unde-
veloped lots that were platted
years ago.
Rising Nitrate Levels
One potential challenge for
springs protection is the coun-
ty's Planned Service Area -
the region identified in the
comprehensive plan as being
the area where residential
growth would be focused. Part
of the PSA extends into the
springsheds. On the flip side,
growth in the PSA is expected
high quality, with central water
and sewer, .and stormwater
treatment facilities.
Jones said nitrate levels in


the county's major coastal
springs are at least 50 times
higher than they were before
development began in Citrus
County. He said nitrates have
migrated into the aquifer from
many sources, including lawn
fertilizers and septic tanks.
The aquifer carries the con-
taminants to the springs.


In Citrus County, y(
ive right on top of your
drinking water.

Mike Bascc
heads the Springs Initiative for the Flo
Department of Environmental Protect

Jones believes the district
will be able to preserve the
flow of water to the springs
when it establishes minimum
flows and levels in the next five
years. The district will deter-
mine how much the spring flow
can decrease without damag-
ing the diverse ecology of the
springs and the rivers. The dis-
trict will control water with-
drawals through permitting.
Citrus County has also adopt-
ed regulations to prohibit large
well fields from being used to
pump or transfer drinking
water outside the county. Jones
said a large well field located
close to one of the springs
could impact flow.
Mike Bascom, who heads the
Springs Initiative for the
Florida Department of Enviro-
nmental Protection, said few
people realize springs are fed
by the very same underground
aquifer that provides the drink-
ing water supply for Citrus
County and most of the state..
In the springsheds, the lime-
stone formations in the aquifer
are close to the surface of the
land. That means rainfall can
soak through the thin layer of
topsoil into the aquifer quickly

to refill it, a process known as
recharging. It also means the
aquifer is more vulnerable to
contamination in the spring-
sheds.
Standing on
drinking water?
If people realized their
drinking water came from a
source not far below their
homes and lawns, Bascom
DU believes they might be
more careful about what
type of fertilizer they use,
and might think twice
before they changed oil
and dumped it on the
ground.
7m "In Citrus County, you
rida
ion. live right on top of your
drinking water," Bascom
said. "The land you're
standing on is close to the top
of the aquifer."
The closer one gets to the
springs, the higher the impact
of pollutants,- Bascom said.
That is why Citrus County is
building a multi-million dollar
central sewer system on the
coast to eliminate septic tanks
in Homosassa and Chas-
sahowitzka. The county is also
using grants to build stormwa-
ter treatment systems.
But the county thus far has
not addressed springshed pro-
tection east of U.S. 19. County
commissioners talked at one
time about the possibility of
requiring slow-release fertiliz-
ers countywide, but discarded
the idea. They said if they
adopted such a rule, residents
could drive to. neighboring
counties to buy fast-release fer-
tilizers. Commissioners said
the state needs to adopt such a
fertilizer rule,- not individual
counties.
Fast release fertilizers are
not completely absorbed by the
lawn's roots. The excess
nitrates filter into the aquifer.

Compromise,
cooperation
Bascom said the Springs
Initiative has completed a
draft of a springs protection
land code that will be made
available to counties. The code
will give counties options for
protecting their springs, rang-
ing from regulations to educa-
tion and voluntary best man-
agement practices.
Citrus County Development
Services Director Gary
Maidhof, a member of the
Florida Springs Task Force, a
statewide group that
researched the problems fac-


ing Florida's springs and rec-
ommended ways to protect
them, said the policy decisions
for springs protection won't be
easy and most of the decisions
will fall on the shoulders of
local elected officials.
"I think the time is right and
I think the commission will
step forward, but the devil's in
the details," Maidhof said.
"You can't achieve what we
want to achieve without com-
promise and cooperation with
private landowners. If we wind
up in court over this, we have
failed to accomplish what we
wanted to accomplish."

Florida's nature, caught in
vivid color
"It's typical of old Florida,"
Woody said. "It's been devel-
oped so much. You just don't
see this anymore."
Woody's granddaughter Mel-
anie Lee, 11, has inherited her
grandmother's love for the
Highwaymen.
Recently, Melanie went to a
museum down south that had
-an assortment of artwork on
display, including some of the
Highwaymen paintings.
"I knew which ones were the
Highwaymen," she bragged.
The collection will be on dis-
play at the museum until April
27. The exhibit is on loan from
the Orange County Regional
History Center.
Museum hours are 10 a.m. to
4 p.m., Monday through Friday,
and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on
Saturday.

Wrong man held
in jail for 54 days
Associated Press
KISSIMMEE Hector
Collazo complained to anyone
who would listen that he was
the victim of identify theft, but
he sat in the Osceola County
jail for 54 days by mistake on a
Texas forgery warrant for a dif-
ferent man.
He was arrested Dec. 4 out-
side his grandmother's house.
Collazo had proof that he was
in Orlando in a residential
drug treatment program on the
date of the crime.
Collazo, 23, said deputies,
jailers and other authorities in
Texas and Florida had access
to a photograph and other
identifying information that
clearly show they were holding
the wrong man.
The Osceola County Sher-
iff's Office is investigating.

home. He Is holding a chunk of Ice he took from the buck-
et left out during the night.



Troops need phone cards


Special to the Chronicle

Troops recovering from com-
bat wounds at Walter Reed and
National Naval Medical
Center are not allowed to use
hospital telephones to make
long-distance calls to their
loved ones. They are request-
ing telephone cards.
The United Democratic
Clubs of Citrus County are con-
tributing money to buy tele-
phone cards to send to the


wounded troops. They are ask-
ing all Citrus County residents
to join in this endeavor. While
you are out shopping, purchase
telephone cards to send to the
recovering troops in U.S. mili-
tary hospitals.
The local 690th Family
Readiness Groups could use
telephone cards, too.
Call Marilyn Day at 527-7162
to arrange for cards to be
picked up and delivered.


$35 for individuals and $60 for a couple,
on a first-come, first-served basis. A
cash bar will be available and tables for
eight persons only may be reserved for
$240. Cut-off date to purchase
dinner/show tickets is March 10. No
dinner/show tickets will be sold at the
door.
All tickets are on sale at the Chamber
of Commerce offices, or may be pur-
chased from the planning committee.


You do not have to be present for a
chance to win the getaways.
Donated items for the silent auction
are being sought In addition, full-page,
half-page and business-card-size ads
are available for the program.
For more information, call one of
these planning committee members:
John Barnes, 422-1357; Melonie Hagg,
257-1783; Lois Thomas, 382-0777; or Lee
Ann Ward, 302-4347.


Johnson center assists needy, elderly


he Annie W. Johnson
Senior Service Center,
on the Citrus side of
Dunnellon and just off U.S. 41,
has assisted the needy and the
elderly since 1976. The. well-
kept former church building is
filled with happy individuals
socializing and playing cards,
pokeno, bingo, exer-
cising, doing crafts
such as a quilt or
watching movies or
television.
One hot meal is
served every week-
day by volunteers
who greet each citi-
zen with a smile and
friendly conversa- John M
tion. The average
age at the dining UN1
tables is 70 years W
old. Everyone has a
name here and is special.
If you are new to the group,
you will be welcomed as if you
are long-lost family. If you can
sing or strum a guitar, then you
will be encouraged to provide
a song or music, and all will try
their best to harmonize with
you. If you enjoy crafts, you will
be asked to help with the quilt
that will eventually be sold to
raise more money for the oper-
ations of the center. If you just
want to talk, then there are
those who just want to listen
and to share in your stories. No
one has to sit at home all alone
when the doors are open to all
Citrus and Marion County resi-
dents, without regard to age,
race, sex, disability, ethnic ori-
gin or religious beliefs.
The center helps needy indi-
viduals or families seeking
help with utility bills, rent and
mortgage payments. This
financial assistance is offered
only once a calendar year and
is paid directly to the utility
company, landlord or mortgage


.holder All funds received by
the center, either grants or allo-
cations, go to the clients' needs.
The center receives funds from
both the United Way of Citrus
County and Marion County, the
Progress Energy Neighbor
Fund, which is administered
by the United Way of Citrus
County, the FEMA
Emergency Food
and Shelter Prog-
ram managed by a
local FEMA Board
and the .United Way
of Citrus County, and
public donations.
The center does not
want any person or
armish household to go
without the neces-
RED sary utilities or with-
MY out shelter Its goal is
to keep this situation
from happening for a 30-day
period. During the 30 days, the
center can help with referrals
or hopefully find a solution.
The center also operates a
thrift shop in Dunnellon that
provides the operational funds
for the center. The thrift shop
is at 12409 N. Florida Ave.,
South Dunnellon. The tele-
phone number is (352) 465-
7957. Three part-time employ-
ees and many volunteers assist
with the operations.
The center provides bags of
groceries every couple of
months to an individual or fam-
ily, a yearly Christmas basket
program and vouchers for
clothing or household items
from the thrift store. Bread is
donated by Publix. The
Volunteer Way Food Bank, in
New Port Richey, provides
food. The Citrus County post
office employees conduct a
food drive twice a year and the
center is the recipient of a por-
tion. Local high schools and
garden clubs also keep the


pantries full. When the shelves
are empty, then the staff will
shop at local sales for food.
The center has also recently
implemented a very small pre-
scription assistance program.
This program is to assist indi-
viduals with $50 toward their
highest-priced prescription.
This assistance can be given
twice a year to an individual.
All money is paid directly to
the pharmacy or drug store.
Although Ms. Annie W.
Johnson passed away in August
2000, the board of directors is
dedicated to Ms. Johnson's phi-
losophy to provide services to
the needy and elderly and to
continue to serve the residents
of Citrus and Marion Counties.
They have successfully provid-
ed this service for more than 28
years. Last year, 212 Citrus
County families or 1,284 county
residents were helped.
The Annie W. Johnson
Senior Service Center is at
1991 West Test Court,
Dunnellon, telephone (353)
489-8021. Lydia Mills is the
executive director and Cecil
McLeod is the chairperson of
the board of directors.
Donations to the Community
Fund of the United Way of
Citrus County, the Annie W.
Johnson Senior Service
Center, and other small human
service agencies provide fund-
ing to help local citizens.
Without your help, and the
help of dedicated volunteers,
these small agencies would not
exist Thank you for your con-
tinued support.


John Marmish is executive
director of United Way of
Citrus County. For more

My article, written two weeks ago regard-
ing the book of postcards of my home-
town area, triggered a few phone calls
from readers who are also from the same area.
They were quite interested in seeing the book,
we chatted and reminisced about some of those
days ... so I'm going to make some arrangements
for a meeting to further discuss our towns in
Pennsylvania will keep you posted
and make the announcement in a
near future article. By the'way, is
there a Pennsylvania club in this .
area? I'd like to know.
The other day, like so many times "
when discussing travel, I've been
asked, "Did you ever encounter dan-
gerous and frightful experiences as a
travel agent? Did I???? You bet! Let
me tell you about the most frightful Anne ]
and worrisome episode. MEM
In the first few months of opening MEM
our agency, we decided to take a OF A T
group to CzechoSlovakia. We didn't COUNS
have the experience, but read
enough and traveled enough to have the forti-
tude to begin this venture.
We had a group of 10 who responded, and we
were encouraged by our Pan-Am rep with her
words, "you have to start at some time, on your
next tour you'll have more." How right she was
about this.
This was in 1976, when Slovakia was under
Communist rule. The trip on KLM airline was
fine until we arrived in Prague. As we went
through customs-we were taken into separate
rooms where we had to declare our cameras,
and other such equipment, following a brief
interrogation.
We were given forms that would record our
purchases while in the country, particularly
those made in government stores. This was
something we had never experienced previous-
ly, so it put us on alert.
There were a few other things that happened,
but not what Frank and I were about to experi-
ence.
Finally, the day arrived to leave. Several had
stayed elsewhere, visiting their relatives, but we
