Spurred by Economic Development
Director Julie Conley and the possible
promise of three new businesses locat-
ing here, commissioners on Jan. 17 set
a per-acre price
for land at the in-
dustrial park and
committed to ex-
tending the
sewer-and-water
service at the
county-owned
property.
The decision
came on the heels
of a report from
Conley that con-
Julie Conley tained what she
termed "exciting
developments". The exciting develop-
ments were letters of interest submit-
ted by three companies seriously
considering locating a part of their op-
erations here. The letters, according to
Conley, outlined the services or types
of products that the companies pro-
duced or distributed, the number of
people that they would employ, and the
kinds of buildings that they required,
among other information.
Conley said one of the businesses
was AdvancedApplicators, a herbicide
contract management company that
specializes in vegetation management,
GIS mapping and planning for electric
utility companies. She said the com-
pany, which is headquartered in
Shreveport, Louisiana, wag interested
in locating an office and operation cen-
ter in the industrial park to serve
Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas.

limited to
three proj-
ects of $1
million or
less each.
Schle--
icher pro-
posed, and
Roy Schleicher, the com-
County missioners
Coordinator approved,
two re-
quests totaling about $1 mil-
lion together.
The first request, for
$260,000, is to construct a
2,000 sq. foot office and stor-
age building for the Solid


Waste Department. The
building would be con-
structed at the site of the for-
mer Grants Office building,
which the county plans to
demolish soon. The Grants
Office building is located
near the intersection of US
19 South and the Waukeenah
Highway, near the recycling
center.
Schleicher explained
that the Solid Waste Depart-
ment's present office is
cramped and that the depart-
ment is using part of the re-
cycling center for storage.
He said the space being
used for storage'in the recy-
cling.center could be put to


better use for recycling pur-
poses. The commissioners
concurred.
The second request, for
$690,000, is to extend the
road paving and sewer-and-
water lines at the industrial
park, which upgrades the
county has been trying to ac-
complish via state funding
for some time now. Schle-
icher said the federal fund-
ing, if awarded, would allow
for the cost of the engineer-
ing work and the actual con-
struction. County officials
believe that the infrastruc-
ture improvements will
make the park that much
more marketable.

The 52 year-old retired
career military law enforce-

deputies were advised that
he had extensive military

ing. Deputies also learned
that the individual had pur-
chased a 9mm handgun be-
fore leaving Okaloosa


County, and there was rea-
son to believe he might at-
tempt "suicide by cop". The
conclusion was based on in-
formation obtained from
Okaloosa County.
The deputies put in a call
to Major Bill Bullock and re-
quested extra resources to
set up and hold a perimeter

termination could be made
about what action to take.

City Satisfies

Requirements

Of Two State

Consent Orders
LAZARO ALEMAN
Monticello News
Senior Staff Writer
Monticello has now satisfied the re-
quirements of two consent orders that
the Florida Department of Environ-
mental Protection (FDEP) issued
against the city last year because of
spills and other sewage-related prob-
lems in 2004 and 2005.
Engineer Joe Miller, of George &
Associates Consultant Engineers, Inc.,
informed the City Council on Jan. 8
that the FDEP had accepted the project
that the city had proposed to satisfy the
requirements of the second consent
order. That solution called for the city
to purchase an $89,000 crane truck, in
lieu of paying the $64,000 fine.
Miller explained again that FDEP
rules required that projects proposed
in lieu of fines must be one-and-a-half-
times the value of the penalty. In the
case of the second consent order, the
cost of the project had to be $96,000, or
$7,000 more than the cost of the crane
truck, he said. Because the city had ex-
ceeded the required cost on the first
consent order, however, it could apply
the difference to the second consent
order, he explained. Satisfying the first
consent order entailed the city pur-
chasing generators for two of its pump
stations.
The city's justification for the pur-
chase of the crane truck was that it
would be used to pull submersible
pumps from the different lift stations
so that the pumps could be serviced,
thus hopefully averting future spills. It
was a similar justification to the one
used for the purchase of the two gener

The fourth hunting accident in
Northwest Florida since the beginning
of the hunting season in October, in-
volved a Jefferson County man.
According to the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Commission, an employee of
Merrily Plantation in Jefferson County
received non-life threatening injuries
Jan. 17 when a guest accidentally shot
him on a quail covey rise.
Ronald William Harrell, 41, who
handles quail dogs for the plantation,
was hit with several number 8 pellets
when James Stynes, 58, a guest from
New York, attempted to shoot a quail
that flew toward Harrell.
Harrell was driven to Archbold
Hospital in Thomasville, GA, treated
for minor injuries and released.
FWC reports that of the four acci-
dents in the region since the beginning
of hunting season, there has been but
one fatality, which occurred in Bay
County over the weekend.

Build Wealth,

Not Debt
All over America people are proving that you don't
have to be rich to build wealth. Build Wealth, not Debt
is the motto of America Saves. America Saves is the six-
year old effort to encourage non-saving Americans to
save.
This year, America Saves Week, February 24 March
2, 2008, would like to increase consumer awareness on
the need to save money, reduce debt and build wealth.
WHY?
In February of 2007, Consumer Federation of
America (CFA) conducted a national survey and found
that less than 40 percent of adult Americans have emer-
gency savings funds. The importance of this, according
to CFA's Executive Director is the fact that "Those with
a fund are highly likely to be able to afford unexpected
expenses such as a car repair, an emergency dental visit
etc... and will be less dependent on high-cost credit, such
as payday loans or even credit cards to bail themselves
out."
Savings experts agree that the most successful way
to save is automatic savings, that is regular deposits into
a savings account, mutual fund, retirement fund or even
regular mortgage payment that build home equity. As
well, the CFA survey found that more that half of emer-
gency savers save automatically through regular trans-
fer of funds from checking to emergency savings.
The survey found there was an absence of difference
among demographic groups in their use of the following
savings strategies. All demographic groups utilized the
diriment emergency savings strategies with roughly the
same frequency.
Strategies most emergency savers use to make emer-
gency savings deposits are ones that nearly all house-
holds can afford:
Deposit loose change
Automatically transfer modest (average was under
$65.00) funds for checking to savings.
Utilize direct payroll deposits
Deposit a portion of tax refunds
Pay down expensive debt and then deposit the
equivalent of monthly debt payments to emergency sav-
ings.
The key is to JUST DO IT small amounts of loose
change can add up to a significant accumulation of
wealth. Visit the America Saves website @
http://www.americasaves.org/ for a wealth of informa-
tion on saving and debt reduction.
Perhaps this would also be a good time to think of
using tax form 8888 Direct Deposit Qf Refund to More
Than One Account. This form is attached to your regu-
lar 1040 federal income tax form. The general purpose of
this form is to use your tax refund to deposit into.two or
three of your accounts at a bank or other financial insti-
tution (such as a mutual fund, brokerage firm, or credit
union, IRA, Health Savings account etc...). If you file
Form 8888 you cannot choose to get any part of your
refund as a check. Also, you cannot request a deposit of
your refund to an account that is not in your name.
Rules for using this form can be printed off of the
Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service
site @ http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f888.pdf
And don't forget to utilize all tax savings options.
available to your individual circumstances. The IRS
states that hundreds of millions of dollars in tax savings
are annually not taken advantage of.


ATTENTION!

An 8 month old Black Lab
with scratches on his face was lost
behind the Monticello I-10 McDonald's.
A Reward of $200.00
has been offered for the return of the

whereabouts of the puppy.

eputy Arrests Plant Thief

FRAN HUNT

Staff Writer
According to Sheriffs reports, a routine patrol
Wednesday, Jan. 23, resulted in a Deputy catching a thief
who was selling plants stolen from a local nursery.
The County Sheriffs Office reported that during the
early morning hours, Deputy Chris Eades spotted a
pickup truck with the hood up, parked alongside the
edge of US-90, west of Monticello, while on routine
patrol.
Eades stopped to investi-
gate and found a man, iden-
tified as James "Pappa"
Seabrooks, 54, of 575 N.
Hagan St., standing in front
of the truck.
When Eades approached
him, Seabrooks reportedly
told him that the vehicle
had run hot and another
man traveling with him
had gone to a pond located
at a, nursery nearby to get
some water for the' radia-
tor. '
Eades looked around and
saw fresh potting soil in the
bed of the truck. He then
walked onto the nursery
property to find the other
man, but could not locate
anyone.
Eades did discover two
James "Pappa" Seabrooks sets of fresh. footprints on
the ground. The sets were
different, indicating that
two people had come on to.the nursery property. He
returned to the truck and examined Seabrooks' shoes.
He found that one set of the shoeprints matched
Seabrooks'.
He investigated further and found that Seabrooks
and the other man had removed nursery plants earlier
in the evening and then sold them. They had returned to
the nursery for another load and that is when Eades
found them.
Eades tracked down the plants that Seabrooks had
previously sold and recovered them.
Seabrooks was transported to the County Jail and
booked for the theft of the plants. He was placed under a
$3,000 bond and he remained at the County Jail as of
Monday, Jan. 28.
The second man has been identified and warrants
are forthcoming for his arrest.

Man Charged With Battery On Officer
FRAN HUNT
Monticello News
Staff Writer
A Monticello man was arrested by Sheriffs deputies
over the weekend and charged with Trespassing in an
Occupied Structure and Battery On Law Enforcement
Officer.
The Sheriffs Office reports that at 7:40 p.m., Deputy
Toby Ward responded to 2820 West Capps Highway (US-
27), residence of Emma-Jean Walker, in reference to a
suspicious black male prowling around the residence
and attempting to gain entry into the home.
As Ward arrived in the area he began to look for the
suspect, with assistance from the Monticello Police
Department. MPD Captain Roger Murphy and Officer
Jessica Schwartz responded.
'Ward was unable to locate the suspect at the resi-
dence and then dispatch informed him that the man was
observed walking east on Capps Highway in the area of
Walker's Store.
When he arrived at Walker's Store, customers began
to point behind the store, but Ward could not locate him.
Ward was given the description of the suspect, being a
medium build black male, with blue jeans, blue sweater,
and a skull cap, which he passed on to Murphy and
Schwartz. Both began to search the area.
It was also discovered that a black male fitting the
description, had entered the residence of Michelle
Chicoine, located at 2421 W. Capps Highway, and
demanded cigarettes. Ward continued to look for the
suspect along the highway-and was advised by Murphy
that he had the suspect with him.
Ward responded to Murphy's location and had the
man accompany him to Chicoine's residence, where he
was identified as the man who had entered the home.
Ward read him his Miranda warning and asked him why
he had entered the home, to which he reportedly
responded, "Because I can."
The suspect was identified as Benjamin Franklin
Bright, 51, of Monticello, and he appeared to be intoxi-
cated.
Bright was transported the County Jail and given
the opportunity for a shower and
change into a clean inmate uniform.
Once at the shower room Bright
became angry and attempted to force
his way out of the shower room, and
in doing so, he ran at Cpl. Beatrice
Livingston and was pushing her
backwards.
Ward deployed his Tazar, stun-
ning Bright, who was by then, no
longer combative and became coop-
erative for booking.
He was charged with Trespassing
Benjamin In An Occupied Structure and
Franklin Bright Battery Of Law Enforcement
Officer. Bond was withheld and
Bright still resided in the County Jail Tuesday morning,
Jan. 29.

Don't Let Market Plunge Derail
Your Investment Strategy
Provided by Robert J. Davison
If you're an investor, you've probably had happier
times. Even though the stock market has slumped recently,
the drop on Tuesday, Jan. 22, still shook up a lot of peo-
ple. At this point, you probably have at least two big ques-
tions: What's causing this market decline? And how
should you respond?
Let's start with the first question. What forces have
led to this market skid? Here are the chief culprits:
*Looming recession Leading economic indicators
suggest a significant slowdown in growth. For ex
ample, the unemployment rate has risen to 5 per
cent, up from 4.4 percent last March. Since 1949,
we haven't seen such a big rise in unemployment
without a recession.
*Subprime loan crisis As you know, the subprime
loan crisis has been in the news for months. First,
the problems with subprime loans hit the real estate
industry and the financial services industry. But
now, the subprime crisis may have spread to the
extent that consumers are being forced to pull
back from spending.
*Decline in international stocks Because the U.S.
is a huge part of the global economy, international
markets are not immune from what happens here.
Many of these markets are down between 20 and 30
percent over the past several months.
So, in a nutshell, these factors have helped lead to the
stock market decline. Are we officially in a "bear" market?
Not quite. Before the drop on Jan. 22, the U.S. markets
had fallen 15 percent; a 20 percent drop is the standard
definition of a bear market.
In any case, though, help may be on the way. The Fed-
eral Reserve cut short-term interest rates by three-fourths
of a point the Fed's biggest rate cut since October 1984.
By making it cheaper for businesses and consumers to bor-
row, the Fed hopes to jump-start the economy. Further-
more, the President and Congress are working to pass a
stimulus package. And, in the broader picture, inflation
and interest rates are still relatively low, which is typically
positive news for the financial markets.
But perhaps most importantly, many stocks have al-
ready fallen 25 or 30 percent which means they may now
be good values. In fact, recessions and their accompanying
market declines can be great, opportunities for you, as a
long-term investor, because you now have an opportunity
to buy good investment at a lower price.
Consider this quote from Warren Buffet, perhaps the
world's most famous investor: "Most people get interested
in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested
is when no one"else is. You can't buy what' is popular and
do well. The dumbest reason in the world to buy a stock
is because it's going up."
So, if you have room in your portfolio to add appro-
pria.te investments, look for those opportunities now. If
you are already fully invested, with a diversified mix of
quality investments, have the courage to be patient and
stay. the course. (Keep in mind, though, that diversification
does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.)
If you've created a long-term strategy one that is suit-
able for your needs, goals, risk tolerance and time horizon
- stick with it: Bad times don't last but smart investors
do.

Coordinators for the annual County Christmas Drive,
extend their thanks and appreciation to all donors for
making the event a huge success, for the more unfortu-
nate in the community
"This year, the Christmas Drive began without any
residual money, and a few leftover toys," said Co-Coordi-
nator Lucille Hunter. "Thanks to the citizens who do-
nated toys, sending checks and cash, and the many who
donated to the Boot Drives around the Courthouse Circle,
we were able to help 181 children and 68 families have a
:'Meriry Christmas., Help was also-received by eight indi-
viduals with Wal-Mart and/or Winn Dixie gift certifi-
'cates. We also want to extend a special thanks to all who
adopted the 17 families," she said.
Hunter relates that every year the need for assistance
becomes greater. "With everyone's assistance, and the
blessing of the Lord, we seem to meet the need of many
children and families every
year," she said. She notes

Linda Benedict spoke to the Monticello Kiwanis
members on Wednesday, Jan. 16 about the Early Learn-
ing Coalition of the Big Bend Region in conjunction
with the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library
She brought with her a variety of books made avail-
able to children registered in the program, as well as a
generous supply of books from children's library
Through the children's library, books are received
monthly for children ages' birth through kindergarten.
They begin with "The Little Engine That Could" to "Get
Ready Kindergarten, Here I Come."
To register a child, contact the Coalition at 385-0551.
The Library helps parents in communities prepare
children for success in school, too many young children
are not prepared for Kindergarten. Studies show that
through this program, literacy for the entire family im-
proved.
90 percent pf brain development happens before the
age of five. This may sound too simple too be true, but
by reading regularly with children during their pre-
school years, they are being given the biggest boost to-
ward a successful education.

Chief Outlines His


Goals For City Police


FRAN HUNT
Monticello News
Staff Writer
Newly elected Police
Chief Fred Mosley outlines
improvements planned for the
City Police Department.
MPD received radio
equipment donated by the
Franklin County Sheriff's De-
partment which serves to up-
grade the current VHF (Very
High Frequency) to UHF
(Ultra High Frequency) radio
equipment so officers could
communicate at a higher level
with deputies, county and city
dispatch, as well with each
other. "I really appreciate the
officers and staff at MPD who
have worked so hard to imple-
ment the new structure at
MPD and they have been very
helpful in the transition. I
want to praise all my staff,
men and women who are ded-
icated to the department and
the community," said Mosley
"These changes will assist us
in being more directed to the
needs of our citizens."
Changes include a new
ranking system and official
chain of command within the
department.
Mosley also promoted
personnel to meet the new
ranking system. The MPD
Chain of Command includes,
Mosley as chief, Roger Mur-
phy who has been promoted to
Captain, Mack Norton, who
was promoted to Lt., and Rick
Colson from Investigator/Cpl.
to Sgt.
The main objective of the
department is to attend to the
needs of citizens in a very
timely manner, and to have a
higher visibility within the
community
"We plan to implement
that officers increase patrols
in our neighborhoods and en-
courage officers to visit and
talk with residents on a more
frequent basis.
Mosley said installation
of the .new equipment has
begun and a MPD officer, who
is also a radio technician, is
doing the installation. "This
will cut the cost of installation


Fred Mosley
and save MPD some money,"
said Mosley
He stresses that MPD is a
very diversified Equal Oppor-
tunity Employer (EOE) and
since taking over the office of
chief, he has hired an African
America, Alcotta Biford, and a
female officer, Jessica
Schwartz, and is in the
process of hiring another offi-
cer.
"MPD will not be a one
man show, it will be a team ef-
fort," said Mosley "I can only
be as effective as a chief, as my
officers are effective at being
good officers."
Goals that Mosley has for
the future includes getting
more training for the commu-
nications officers (dispatch-
ers).


"The dispatchers are the
first line of defense in any law
enforcement agency," said
Mosley
"I also want to work with
all associations conducting
any city events and we want to
give the best service there is to
offer for those events. I'm
committed to serving the citi-
zens of Monticello and look
forward to serving them to the
utmost of my ability for the
service they deserve and re-
quire."
Mosley said he looks for-
ward to the Police Department
working side by side with the
Sheriff's Department and he
looks forward to working with
Sheriff David Hobbs. "I want
to county to know that MPD is
willing and ready for improve-
ment and working along side
the Sheriff's Office," he added.
He concluded by wishing
to thank the three men who
helped and inspired him to
move up through the ranks-at
MPD. Those men are his first
law enforcement employer, for-
mer Sheriff Ken Fortune, for-
mer Chief of Police Nelson
Blount, and past Police Chief
David Frisby "My sincerest
thanks to all of them."

Why Do We Have


Leap Year?
Why do we have a leap year, and why is it in Febru-
ary?
The earth revolves around the sun every 365.24 days,
not an even 365 days. That produces an extra day every
four years. This extra day is added to February every
four years, and that
year is called leap
year.
February was
originally the last
month on the Roman 1
calendar and a logi- 6 1
cal place to add the 5 16 V1
extra day. However, 1\ j
when Julius Caesar
changed the first
month to January,
February became the 2
second month, and
carried with it the

Military Retirees Warned To


Check Name Of Beneficiary


LAZARO ALEMAN
Monticello News
Senior Staff Writer
Emergency Management Director
Carol Ellerbe, who also oversees Veter-
ans Affairs (VA), is alerting military re-
tirees to a potential error on their
Military Retirement Account State-
ments. Ellerbe is urging retirees to
check the back of their statements to en-
sure that the information found there is
accurate, particularly with reference to
their beneficiaries.
Ellerbe shared with the News an
email that she received re-
cently from a military re-
tiree who discovered that
the person designated as his
beneficiary in the event of 7
his death was.someone he
didn't even know.
"Based upon the fact
that the VA recently had mil-.
itary retiree personnel infor- Have y
mation compromised, it is


interesting that somehow my benefici-
ary had changed," the military retiree
wrote. "If you look at the broader pic-
ture of what this means, it is that many
veterans probably wouldn't catch on to
this and that as we lose more of our fel-
low servicemen and women each day,
this would leave their dependents with-
out the benefit that they deserve".
As a precaution, Ellerbe is asking
military retirees to check their state-
ments and make sure that the beneficiar-
ies designated on the forms are the
correct persons.

'illow Me To extend you n Invitation


By Ronda Addy
The type of wedding
invitation you choose goes
a long way toward setting
the overall theme and feel
of your wedding. If you
are having a casual wed-


ding, you don't want invi-
tations with a lot of frills.
You do, however, want
your invitations to look
more professional than
those for a kid's birthday
party.

The number of guests
you are inviting to your
wedding may determine
whether you make your
own invitations or pur-
chase them. If you are hav-
ing a small to medium-
sized wedding, creating
your own invitations won't
be that hard. If you are
planning a large wedding,
creating your own invita-
tions will take a lot of time
and effort you probably
don't have. Regardless
which way you go, make
sure you proofread your
invitations for errors and
create or purchase just the
right amount.
There really is no right
or Wrong design for wed-
ding invitations. It is your
wedding and the invita-
tions should reflect that. If
you are having a themed
wedding, your invitations
should illustrate that
theme, of course, but ulti-
mately, the choice is yours.
Selecting a favorite
font or lettering style is
one way to personalize
your special day There are
various styles of invita-
tions to choose from: ac-
cordion style, tri- or
bi-fold, or a single sheet of
paper. Remember, formal,
lavish weddings require a
formal style, while simpler,


casual weddings require
an informal style. There
are also hundreds of styles
of paper to choose from in
various thicknesses.
Buying your invita-
tions will offer you less of
a selection than if you
make them yourself. Do-it-
yourselfers need to remem-
ber that thicker paper
works better for invita-
tions that will not be
folded and medium-weight
paper for invitations that
will be folded: Depending
upon your calligraphy
skills, you could also use
parchment paper for your
invitations.
Along with the invita-
tions, you will need RSVP
cards and stamped return
envelopes. You can make
your own RSVPs and en-
velopes to match your invi-
tations or buy them from a
stationery store. RSVP
cards and envelopes are
available for most invita-
tions.
There is some etiquette
involved in the wording
and addressing of invita-
tions. This includes:
Spell out all dates and
times. Don't use 5:00 or Oc-
tober 16. Instead, state
"five o'clock in the evening
on the sixteenth of Octo-
ber."


Abbreviate Mr., Mrs.
and Jr. but spell out titles
like "doctor."
Only use punctuation
between the city and state
and after abbreviations.
Spell out all states on
envelopes.
Don't include an
RSVP for invitations to the
wedding ceremony only.
Indicate on the inner
envelope of invitations to
single guests that they can
bring a guest.:
Don't include 'id
guest" on the inner enve-
lope of invitations to sin-
gle guests who are
bringing someone you
know personally
Send only one invita-
tion to unmarried couples
who live together. List
their names alphabetically
and on separate lines.
Send guests who are
living together but are not
a couple their own sepa-
rate invitations.
Send children over 18
their own invitation,
whether they live at home
or not. List children under
18 who live at home on the
inner envelope; do not use
the term "and family"
There is nothing set in
stone that says everyone
has to observe the same
rules when it comes to se-
lecting and sending their
wedding invitations. It's
only natural for you to
want to put your own per-
sonal stamp on your wed-
ding invitations. After all,
it is your special day.

Youth Hunt Here


FRAN HUNT
Monticello News
Staff Writer
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) sponsored
the county's first Youth Hunt at Pickney Hill and Punkinhead Plantations, Mon-
ticello Florida, Jan. 4, 5, and 6.
Don Joiner of Punkinhead Plantation hosted the eVent. Youth also hunted
on Pickney Hill Plantation and the Turney Anderson property nearby.
Ten youth and their parents drove to the property on Fri-
day afternoon to begin the activities. Some came as far as
West Palm Beach, others as close as Tallahassee. The
youth hunted Saturday morning, Saturday evening and
Sunday morning.
All the children and parents observed deer, with two
of the hunters successfully harvesting a deer. Other O
wildlife was seen and reported by the participants, which
included wild turkeys, fox, squirrels, hawks and various
songbirds. After a deer is harvested the skinning class H
takes place where children learn to process their own
game, as well as learn biological data such as how to tell
the age and health of a deer.
Hunters who harvested included Erin Hindle of Craw- l a
fordville FL, who came with his parents Robin and Kurt
Hindle and his younger brother Adam. On the first morn-
ing Erin harvested a 120 lb. doe, his first deer ever.
This young hunter was able to create memories of a
lifetime and his family was there to share it with him, W aa
.thanks to the gracious landowners and the Youth Hunting
Program of Florida.
The second hunter to bag game was Ryan O'Meara of
Tallahassee, who was able to get a 120 lb doe on Saturday
evening before supper. Add EMB
The goals of the youth hunts include preserving the with EMB
hunting heritage in Florida for present and future gener- You'll mis
ations; promoting the highest ethical standards in hunt-
ing; giving youth an initial, positive, safe, educational
mentored hunting experience; teaching the basic skills,
values, techniques and responsibilities of hunting; in-
stilling in youth a basic understanding of practical con-
servation measures; encouraging wildlife habitat access,
enhancement and management.
On the Youth Hunts, participants learn how to hunt
safely, legally and ethically, develop marksmanship and
firearm skills, learn how to track and process game, learn
the relationship between hunting and conservation, ap-
preciate nature first-hand, make new friends, spend qual- VISITAf
ity time with family, friends and other experienced TALLAHAS
hunters, and leave with experiences and memories that TALLAHAS
will last a lifetime.
The mission of the Youth Hunting Program was es-
tablished to increase the number of youth involved in ed- Call 866-
ucational, safe, mentored wildlife and hunting activities
through the opportunity to participate in the hunting her-
itage. Each hunt is tailored to the landowner and the
landowner's desires. It's the landowner's hunt. The FWCs
unique involvement is to be sure the hunt runs safely and
smoothly. They also provide the landowner with an um-
brella of liability protection for the hunt and assist in pro- Where Commr
viding any youth hunters, volunteers, support staff and
supplies needed to make each hunt successful. The
landowner's level of participation is entirely up to them.

ators.
Notwithstanding the rationale for the purchase of the
crane truck, Miller reportedly had to employ a bit of cre-
ative language to convince the FDEP that the truck repre-
sented a maintenance tool and not a capital improvement
project.
Purchase of the crane truck was the second solution
that the city proposed to satisfy the second consent order.
The FDEP earlier had rejected a solution that called for
the installation of equipment to pump recycled waste-
water to a plant nursery for use by that operation. The
FDEP deemed the water reuse project not sufficiently
punitive, as the city had planned to pursue the project re-
gardless of the consent order and using state funds to fi-
nance the cost.
The two consent orders and their associated penalties
stemmed from incidents in 2004 and 2005 where the city
accidentally released hundreds of thousands of gallons
of raw sewage or treated wastewater into the environ-
ment. Too, the FEDP cited the city for poor reporting and
poor record keeping practices, among other things, rela-
tive to its sewage treatment program.


SUICIDE


the man's room was quietly
strengthened, other motel
rooms around the man
were cleared of occupants
and Hobbs put a Tactical
Contingency plan in place.
Surveillance indicated
that the man was asleep, al-
though it was not certain.
Hobbs made the deci-
sion to bring in trained ne-
gotiators from the Leon
County Sheriff's Office to
stand by in case the situa-
tion did, in fact, become
critical.

The Leon County Sher-
iff's Response Team, which
Hobbs also likes to have as
a backup in such situa-
tions, was 'alerted and
placed on stand-by
Just after daylight, the
man woke and opened the
door to look out. When he'
did, he was immediately
taken into custody to pre-
vent harm to himself or
others putting a peaceful
end to a potently violent sit-
uation.
A loaded 9mm handgun
was located inside the
room and also secured.
The individual was
taken to a facility for obser-
vation shortly thereafter.

two acres, with a 5,000 sq. foot office/shop building," Con-
ley wrote in her memo to commissioners. "Initially, the
company would require six full-time employees, with an
additional 10 to 20 employees needed by the end of the sec-
ond year of operation. Salaries are in the $15 to $20 per
hour range. Seasonal workers are hired between early
spring and fall. There are no extraordinary infrastruc-
ture requirements."
She described the next two companies as the Active
Pet Feeds Company and the British Tea Company, both
owned by Graham Tweed, of San Diego, CA. The Active
Pet Feed Company distributes pet treats that are made of
100-percent salmon. The company is the exclusive distrib-
utor of the high-end pet products for the United States
and Great Britain.
The British. Tea Company, meanwhile, holds the ex-
clusive rights to the sale and distribution of selected tea
products throughout the world. Conley said Tweed was
interested in purchasing one or two acres at the industrial
park for construction of a warehouse, an office and ad dis-
tribution facility.
"These are serious prospects, and in each case, the
company representative have expressed the need for a
timely decision by Jefferson County," Conley said.
"Specifically, they need to know the exact location of the
parcels being offered, the price per acre and the county's
intentions regarding infrastructure improvements. They
are also taking into consideration other financial outlays,
such as tax levies, and impact and permitting fees. They
are not requiring special incentives or waivers."
Conley urged commissioners to act and act quickly,
lest the prospective companies find better offers else-
where. She suggested a price of $20,000 per acre for the
land near the jail, based on a recent appraisal of the un-
developed portion of the site of Florida SafeRider, the mo-
torcycle driving school.
"That property (SafeRider's) is arguably more valu-
able because of development on a portion of the site, but
it gives a starting point for negotiations," Conley said.
Commissioners agreed to.the $20,000 per acre price for
acreage near the jail for the sake of expediency But they
indicated that they planned to revisit the issue later and
do a more comprehensive division and valuation of the
different lots within the property, based on the desirabil-
ity of each.
Commissioners also committed, at Conley's urging,
to have an engineer do an infrastructure assessment to
determine the cost of extending the sewer and water servm
ice to the undeveloped part of the park and to undertake
the work once the price was known.
Conley argued that the division and pricing would
make it easier for her to market the park, when prospec-
tive businesses came asking for information.

runs, when the incident oc-
curred. Perry explained
the Air Force was better
equipped to run the night
convoys due to their ad-
vanced night vision equip-
ment.
"It was right after the
vehicles were armor-plated
on the bottoms for protec-
tion from any IEDs (Impro-
vised Exploding 'Devices)
buried along the Iraqi road-
ways," said Perry
He said Ian's convoy
came under fire and Ian's
vehicle, which was in the
lead, took a direct hit from
an IED. Thankfully, no
Americans were hurt in
the blast, but Ian, suffered
temporary loss of hearing
in his right ear due to the
explosion.
According' to USAF,
Airmen are eligible for the
combat action medal "if
their primary role includes
performing duties in a
combat zone, either on the
ground or from the air, by
entering into an unsecured
area away from an estab-
lished installation, While
performing their duties,
they must have come under
fire or fire upon an enemy
to qualify."
The medal is designed
to evoke Air Force heritage,
scarlet with diagonal yel-
low stripes adapted from
the art insignia on the air-
craft of Gen. Billy Mitchell,
who coordinated the first
air-to-ground offensive in
history. Further, the
AFCAM features an eagle
grasping arrows in one
talon and an olive branch
in the other, the arrows re-
flecting preparedness for
war while the olive branch
represents a goal of peace,
according to official Air
Force wear guidance.
Ian will be assigned to
Ramstien Air Force Base in
Germany in March, where
he will be under the com-
mand of the USAF Europe
Command for the nest
three years.
He is the son of Perry
Marsh of Jefferson County
and Cheryl Goodson of Tal-
lahassee.
