County to buy Wildwood

By WILLIAM SNOWDENEditor

With new election restrictions put into place by the Legis-lature in SB 90 and signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis, and then several lawsuits filed in federal court challenging the law, Wakulla Supervisor of Elections Joe Morgan issued a memo outlin-ing how his office will handle election issues.

The election law touched on voter reg-istration, vote-by-mail ballots, and drop box-es for vote by mail.

Morgan had ini-tially indicated that he would wait to see

what the courts would do before making any determinations, but recently changed his mind.

“I wanted to get out front of this,” Morgan said.

He said his office has been fielding ques-tions about the issue and he decided there wasn’t any reason to wait.

F r om Morgan ’ s memo:

VOTER

REGISTRATION

For a new voter registration nothing changes, these ap-plications will still be processed as they are received. However, for

applications that are being updated addi-tional information will be required.

Only a Florida voter registration applica-tion can be used when making a party change or a name change.

A voter can still request an address change by phone, fax, or email to the SOE of the county they have moved to but must provide their date of birth and driver’s license number, or Florida ID number, or the last four of their social security number for verification in the SOE’s records. Ad-ditionally, voters can still use a Florida voter registration applica-

tion to make an ad-dress change.

VOTE-BY-MAIL

REQUESTS

A vote by mail re-quest will cover ALL elections through the end of the calendar

year of the next sched-uled general election. Any existing vote by mail requests that we have on file will be valid through the end of 2022.

To request a vote by mail ballot for them-selves, either in person or by phone, they must provide the following information…

• Voter’s name• Voter’s address• Voter’s date of

birth• Voter’s Florida

driver’s license num-ber or Florida ID card number, or last four of your social security number

• Voter’s signature (written requests only)

Immediate fam-

ily member or legal guardian requesting a vote by mail ballot on a voter’s behalf, must provide the additional information…

• Requestor’s name• Requestor’s ad-

How Wakulla will handle election issues going forward

By WILLIAM SNOWDENEditor

Wakul la Coun-ty has a contract pending to purchase the Wildwood Golf Course for $1.4 mil-lion with the sale set to go through in October.

The county com-mission is sched-uled to vote on the purchase at a meet-ing set for Oct. 4. (A public notice for the meeting on the pro-posed sale appears

on Page 9A of this paper.)

The county’s inter-est in the 145-acre golf course is main-ly to take treated wastewater from the Otter Creek treat-ment plant and spray it on the course. The county had pink pipes for the treat-ed water installed years ago, but the golf course has yet to receive a drop.

Current Wildwood owner David Mc-

Quary said that the contract is for the golf course only – he will continue to own and operate the RV Park and pool. While he’s been told his services would no longer be needed to run the facility, McQuary said his golf course employ-ees would become county employees.

McQuary said he believes the course can handle as much as 2.2 million gal-

lons of water a day – which would make the need for the proposed sprayfield (or rapid infiltra-tion basin or aquifer recharge site, as it has been variously called) near The Park subdivision unnec-essary.

The county’s cur-rent permit for water use at the golf course is only for 600,000 gallons a day.

C o m m i s s i o n e r Chuck Hess had in-

dicated his support for using the golf course to release the water.

C o m m i s s i o n e r Randy Merritt had expressed his con-cerns about the county being solely reliant on a private business to take the water – and that, at some point, the busi-ness could turn the spigot off and refuse to accept the water. Merritt insisted the county should own

the entity. T h e p r o p o s e d

sprayfield near The Park has been high-ly controversial and drawn big crowds who oppose its loca-tion near the resi-dential area.

It also got an add-ed boost of contro-versy because the county bought the land from former Commissioner Jerry Moore, a former de-veloper in Atlanta,

Local celebrities were servers competing for tips at a spaghetti din-ner fundraiser at the Seineyard at Wildwood to raise money for the Wakulla Senior Center on Wednesday, Aug. 4.

Celebrity servers hustled dinner, drinks, and desserts to more than 130 people during the fun-filled evening.

Amy Geiger of Capi-tal City Bank earned the title of top server as she earned the most tips.

Some of the other Celebrity servers in-cluded commission-ers Ralph Thomas, Quincee Messersmith, and Mike Kemp, and Property Appraiser Ed Brimner, Supervisor of Elections Joe Morgan, and Clerk of Courts Greg James, as well as Sopchoppy Mayor Lara Edwards and St. Marks City Manager Zoe Mansfield.

Other servers in-cluded Ashley Savary with Centennial Bank, Paul Parker with Har-bor Point Realty, Me-gan Smith with Talquin Electric, Susan Turner with Prime Meridian Bank, Valerie Russell with Tallahassee Me-morial Hospital, Kev-in Vaughn with Hub Insurance, and Steve Loehbeck with Ameris Bank.

John Shuff, chair of the Wakulla Senior Citi-

zens Council, called the event “very successful” and said some $20,000 was raised at the event.

Head organizer of the fundraiser was Mike

Watkins, and the event emcee was Frank Mess-ersmith.

All of the proceeds from the ticket sales, tips collected by the

celebrity servers, and silent auction items will go toward the pro-grams run by the senior center.

According to Shuff,

part of the funds raised at last year’s event al-lowed the senior center to install back-up cam-eras on a few of their transportation vehicles.

This year’s fund-

raiser will help the se-nior center continue to make a positive impact on the lives of local seniors and other com-munity members.

who was a sometimes polarizing figure in lo-cal politics.

D e v e l o p i n g t h e Moore property to take the treated wastewa-ter has developed into potentially a multi-million dollar project to create wetlands to further treat the water before it goes into the

aquifer. Commission-ers directed engineers to confirm that the site is appropriate for the wetland – and to basically stop work at some $30,000 if it’s determined the land is unsuitable.

McQuary has been desperate fo r the county’s water: his wells on the property suffer from saltwater

intrusion and said th e r e ’ s abou t 10 pounds of salt for every 1,000 gallons – creating more problems that it solves when he waters his greens.

Back in June it ap-peared talks had bro-ken down for the coun-ty to buy Wildwood, as the county was push-ing forward with using the Moore site.

In comments to The News, McQuary said he felt like he had been strong-armed in nego-tiations with the county getting a “stand-alone” appraisal on the golf course, without taking into account some of the other values, such as the RV park and the neighborhood, which he felt low-balled the value. Once the coun-ty had its appraisal, County Administrator David Edwards refused

to negotiate a higher price, contending he was limited to the ap-praised value.

McQuary said he respects Edwards and

understands the ad-ministrator is negoti-ating for the county. But, McQuary added, he is also a citizen of Wakulla County.

The state stopped its daily Covid updates back in June when cases dropped to low levels. It still reports

daily cases to the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention.

Problems at the Wakulla County Jail

A back-and-forth on birdwatching

Editor, The News:

There is mold inside the Wakulla

County Jail. Inmates are complaint-

ing about they bringing inmates

inside the jail without testing them

for Covid-19 and one inmate they

brought inside the jail have the virus

and passed it on the other inmate and

the inmates are complaining about it.

They are not sanitary up there and it

needs to be shut down or looked into.

I contacted Wakulla County Health

Department about the matter and

they lied to me about contacting me

back, so I had to call elsewhere.

This Delta strain is very dangerous

and half of Wakulla County has this

virus. I thought the Wakulla County

Sheriff’s Office’s job was to serve and

protect.Well, they are not doing a very

good job of it.

T. TImmons

[email protected]

The sheriff’s office replies: The

Wakulla County Jail is a sanitary

jail facility. Florida Model Jail Stan-

dards sets minimum guidelines for

sanitation at Florida jail facilities. The

Wakulla County Jail is an accredited

facility, through the Florida Correc-

tions Accreditation Commission.

With regards to the allegations of

Covid-19. Since the end of July when

cases began to rise in our area, we

have been rapid testing every arrestee

or inmate who enters the jail. New

arrivals to the jail are quarantined

away from general population and

are again tested before release into

general population. Any individual

who has tested positive once they are

inside the jail is being housed away

from the general population as well.

All jail staff (or anyone who enters the

jail) is required to wear a mask.

There have been cases of Covid

within the Wakulla County Jail, just

like there have been diagnosed cases

all over our region of the state. Despite

what the letter alleges these cases are

in spite of our sanitation and safety

protocols not because of them.

Editor, The News:

In response to Don Morrow’s bird-

ing column, “Birding at the refuge

– Aug. 4” which appears on Page 11:

Hi Don:

This is a great report for this time

of year as it certainly covers lots of

bases. I was at the refuge yesterday

and the day before. Yesterday I got a

nice photo of a b/g gnatcatcher. Help

me understand your rationale on that

bird being a migrant. I ask because

the Sibley guide shows it being a

year-round resident here. According

to the map it’s not even a fringe mi-

grant but substantially here all the

time. I’d probably respect your obser-

vation more so than the guide due to

your longstanding observations. Just

curious how you might regard this

anomaly. Thank you, Don.

Phillip Pollock

[email protected]

Don Morrow replies: In Cornell’s

Birds of the World it notes that there

is a complete turnover of BG Gnat-

catchers in North Florida. The foot-

note references a 1955 FSU doctoral

thesis on the life history of this bird.

Willets also have a complete turnover.

Editor, The News:

The Wakulla Senior Citizen Coun-

cil (WSCC) would like to thank every-

body who helped with the spaghetti

dinner we had on Wednesday, Aug.

4 at the Seineyard at Wildwood res-

taurant.

Sam and Starr Dunlap donated

their restaurant, cooks, and the

deserts for the event. Several of our

local leaders, Commissioners Ralph

Thomas, Quincee Messersmith, and

Mike Kemp were there to help serve

along with Property Appraiser Ed

Brimner, Supervisor of Elections Joe

Morgan, and Clerk of Courts Greg

James. The cities of St. Marks and

Sopchoppy were represented by Zoe

Mansfield and Lara Edwards. We

thank all of these people for stepping

aside from their responsibilities,

strapping on an apron and helping

us support our senior population.

Sheriff Jared Miller was out of town

for the event but purchased a table

so, again, thanks go out to all our

local leaders.

Several businesses were fully

involved also – Amy Geiger with

Capital City Bank, Ashley Savary

with Centennial Bank, Paul Parker

with Harbor Point Realty, Megan

Smith with Talquin Electric, Susan

Turner with Prime Meridian, Valerie

Russell with Tallahassee Memorial

Hospital, Kevin Vaughn with Hub

Insurance, and Steve Loehbeck with

Ameris Bank.

Although she had some stiff com-

petition from the sheriff’s table, Amy

Geiger won the Best Server Award!

We would also like to recognize

Missy Rudd and Traci Cash for help-

ing as waiters and Frank Messer-

smith for being the MC for the event.

Pat Dunn Patterson and Becky Gast

helped get the restaurant ready for

the event and organized the basket

silent auction.

Thanks also to the Senior Citizens

staff, Tomona and Vicki, for helping

pull the event together.

Last but not least thanks to Mike

Watkins for being our event coordi-

nator and Denise Colangelo, Marva

Preston and Mike for helping serve

our guests.

A good time was had by all. It is

extremely gratifying after the events

of this past year to receive such posi-

tive support from the community we

all love.

John Shuff

Chair

Wakulla Senior Citizens Council

By RALPH THOMAS

Wakulla County

Commissioner Ralph

Thomas is president

of the Florida Associa-

tion of Counties. This

is an open letter on to

the Florida Congres-

sional Delegtion about

obstacles to local

broadband.

On behalf of

Florida’s

67 coun-

t ies , we

appreciate the con-

tinued work to pass

ahistoric infrastruc-

ture plan to revitalize

our communities as

we recover from the

Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic has

laid bare the truth of

the Digital Divide that

our rural counties

have known all too

well. Too many Florid-

ians still lack access

to reliable, high-speed

Internet.

As President of the

Florida Association of

Counties, I am writing

to you to prioritize

key provisions of

the infrastructure

package to close

the Digital Divide in

Florida. Unserved

and underserved

communities need

direct resources to

close connectivity

gaps and future-

proof broadband

infrastructure for the

next generation.

We ask that you

prioritize the follow-

ing key provisions for

broadband infrastruc-

ture legislation:

Ensure local

governments can

apply directly to the

federal government

for funding: Funding

allocations should

not be restricted

solely to states.

Local governments

understand the

critical needs in their

communities and can

respond more quickly

and cost-effectively in

managing deployment

to unserved and

underserved areas. It

is necessary to require

state coordination with

local governments

because “one size does

not fit all”. Florida

needs stronger local

federal partnerships

to close connectivity

gaps.

Speeds must

be increased past

25/3Mbps standards,

scalable to 1G:

Symmetrical download

and upload speeds of at

least 100/100 Mbps,

including incentives

for scalability up to 1

Gbps, would be more

effective in meeting

families’ needs now

and into the future.

Prioritize funding

for projects that

emphasize scalability

to achieve future

proofing.

Prioritize reliabil-

ity and affordability:

Any entity receiving

federal funding to ex-

pand access must also

provide an affordable

service. Locking out

communities due to

high prices further re-

stricts access. Priori-

tizing additional fund-

ing for the Emergency

Broadband Fund and

Emergency Connec-

tivity Fund will allow

all Americans to have

access to affordable,

robust, and equitable

broadband service.

Oppose limita-

tions on local permit-

ting requirements:

New conditions or

limitations on local

governments’ ability to

manage public rights-

of-way should not be

included in an infra-

structure package.

Current law protects

this local authority

and exceptions may

lead to disparate treat-

ments of equivalent

networks and services.

Allow funding for

last mile projects, in

addition to locally

owned middlemile

infrastructure: Last

mile project funding

includes funding for

equitable access to

and administration of

affordable and sus-

tainable connectivity,

suitable devices, and

digital literacy training

including for Florida’s

seniors. Funds are

also critical to help

staff and administer

the program. Fund-

ing should be tied to

clear metrics. Allowing

for middle mile infra-

structure investment

and ownership may

help recoup costs for

a local government in

the long run and foster

a stronger relationship

with the service pro-

vider to accelerate the

implementation of ser-

vice in the local com-

munity.

Include the provi-

sions of the Commu-

nity Broadband Act:

Preemptive state laws

that inhibit the deploy-

ment of locally owned

broadband projects

perpetuate the lack of

access in unserved,

underserved, and

high-cost areas. Pub-

licprivate partnerships

can foster competition

with existing providers

to expand access.

While the current

legislation is a gen-

erational opportunity

for revitalizing our na-

tion’s roads, bridges,

and other hard in-

frastructure, the in-

frastructure package

can also assist in the

“Broadbandification”

of Florida and the na-

tion like the Rural

Electrification Act did

nearly a century ago.

Thank you for your

attention to these crit-

ical issues. Please let

me know if I can pro-

vide additional infor-

mation.

Sherif ’s Report

Crawfordville man killed in Madison crash

Staff Report

The Florida Highway Patrol reported that a

65-year-old Crawfordville man was killed in a crash

in Madison County on Thursday, Aug. 5.

FHP does not release names of trafi c crash

victims citing the agency’s interpretation of Marsy’s

Law.

The wreck occured on Interstate 10 at about

12:20 p.m. when rainy weather and wet roadways

caused a semi-truck tractor trailer to run off of the

road near mile marker 240, then crossed all lanes

of travel and collided with a guard rail, according

to FHP.

This trafi c crash caused trafi c on I-10 to come

to a stop, and caused trafi c in the outside lane to

begin to change lanes from the outside lane to the

inside lane.

A Dodge pickup (work truck) then lost control

when attempting to change lanes from the outside

lane to the inside lane and the pickup’s front col-

lided with the rear of a moving truck. The impact

between the Dodge pickup and the moving truck

caused the moving truck’s front end to collide with

the rear of a tractor trailer.

The driver of a sedan attempted to avoid the col-

lision by going around the collision, but lost control

when the sedan left the roadway to the emergency

shoulder. This caused the sedan to rotate counter-

clockwise and collide with the right side of the

Dodge pickup.

The driver of the Dodge pickup was pronounced

deceased on scene. The passenger of the Dodge

pickup, a 19-year-old from Crawfordville, was

transported to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital with

serious injuries.

Forgiving those who willfully hurt us

By SHERYL H. BOLDT

What does a big,

cold, ugly block of

cement symbolize in

your mind?

Maybe a big, cold,

ugly case of . . . ha-

tred?

The longer our hate

festers – the longer

we resist forgiving the

one who’s hurt us –

the bigger, colder and

uglier it grows.

I sincerely hope

forgiving others isn’t

as hard for you as it

is for me. Especially

when those who hurt

us don’t seem sorry

for what they’ve done.

Which leads us to

a question: Does God

expect us to forgive

people when their ac-

tions or words against

us are thoughtless

and perhaps even in-

tentional?

As much as we

may dread to hear

the answer, what will

become of us if we

refuse to hear God’s

heart on this?

Matthew 6:14 in

the English Standard

Version (ESV) says,

“If you forgive others

their trespasses, your

heavenly Father will

also forgive you.”

Look at it now in the

Amplified Bible, Clas-

sic Edition (AMPC):

“For if you forgive

people their trespass-

es [their reckless and

willful sins, leaving

them, letting them go,

and giving up resent-

ment], your heavenly

Father will also for-

give you.”

Reckless. Willful.

How do we let go

when someone delib-

erately lies about us?

Or give up resent-

ment when they bully

us for having convic-

tions that differ from

theirs?

How do we forgive

our spouse for the

reckless and will-

ful sins they commit

against us? How do

they forgive us?

What about those

who purposely hurt

us on social media?

Or at church?

One s ide note :

When there’s abuse

involved, forgiveness

doesn’t mean staying

in a dangerous situ-

ation.

We can forg ive

someone who willfully

sins/sinned against

us while also remov-

ing ourselves from

that environment –

even to the point of

involving authorities

if necessary.

If we’re not talk-

ing about an abu-

sive situation, have

we reached the point

that forgiving isn’t as

important to us as it

once was?

Or that we’ve justi-

fied our self-righteous

mindset for so long

that we’ve become

blind to our own of-

fense?

Yet our merciful

God sees clearly, and

He hates our un-

forgiving attitudes

– especially when we

recklessly and will-

fully choose to ignore

the abundant grace

He, Himsel f , has

shown us. (Read the

story of “The Parable

of the Unforgiving

Servant” in Matthew

18.)

If we’ve forgotten

the many times God

has shown us grace,

let’s be honest about

it.

Let’s ask Him to

help us remember the

times

He’s forgiven our

reckless and willful

sins against Him.

I have no doubt

we ’ l l c ome away

humbled and ready

to forgive others their

trespasses so we can

let go of our big, cold,

ugly hatred.

Temptation is oh-so-tempting

By JAMES L. SNYDER

At the beginning of

the week, the Gracious

Mistress of the Parson-

age informed me that

she and some of her

friends would be going

thrift store shopping on

Thursday.

“Now,” she said, “you

will have to take care of

your lunch. You think

you can do that?”

I was smiling so hard

on the inside I could

hardly keep it from my

face.

Thursday morning,

the Gracious Mistress

of the Parsonage said,

“Do you remember

what’s going to happen

today?”

Did I remember?

How in the world could

I ever forget?

I walked her to the

door, waved very hap-

pily as she drove out of

the driveway and disap-

peared into the sunset.

Just before lunch, I

went to McDonald’s and

purchased my luxuri-

ous lunch, including

two Apple Fritters.

I was very excited to

get home and indulge

in a lunch which would

not make my wife very

happy. But since she

isn’t here, and I’m not

telling her, I’m going to

have the time of my life

for lunch. Especially

those delicious Apple

Fritters.

I got home and set up

the table for my lunch,

and began the process

of enjoying.

I got to most of my

lunch and approached

that wonderful point of

delving into a delicious

Apple Fritter.

Laying those two Ap-

ple Fritters on my plate,

I just enjoyed looking at

the beauty of a perfect

dessert.

Just as I went to pick

one up, the telephone

rang. That’s all I need-

ed.

A n s w e r i n g t h e

phone, the person on

the other end intro-

duced themselves and

began their sales pitch

on my auto warranty.

My auto warranty, ac-

cording to them, had

run out, and this was

their “last” call for me

to renew this warranty.

I jumped in and po-

litely said, “No, thank

you. I don’t need your

warranty.” Then I hung

up the phone.

I took a deep breath

and went back to the

table and looked at my

Apple Fritters, and rev-

eled in the delightful

experience of eating

them. Then, just as I

was ready to pick up

the first one, the tele-

phone rang again.

Very hesitantly, I got

up and went to answer

the phone. This time it

was a recorded message

about a warrant that

has been issued for my

arrest somewhere in

Texas. So all I needed to

do was push number 1.

I hung up very an-

grily and went back to

the table, sat down and

took a deep breath, and

once again looked at

those wonderful Apple

Fritters.

Before I could even

clear my mind, the tele-

phone rang again. By

this time, there was a

swirl of anger bubbling

up in my mind.

I a n s w e r e d t h e

phone, someone intro-

duced themselves and

said they are sending

me a diabetic machine

according to my doctor.

And, it was FREE.

Is it wrong to give

someone a piece of your

mind? And, which piece

am I going to give this

person?

Not dwelling on this

very long, I just opened

up and gave this per-

son a piece of my mind

that I have never used

before. I was so tempted

to say things that would

be very inappropriate.

I was expressing my

anger as I have never

expressed it before.

For someone to come

between my Apple Frit-

ter and me is a very

dangerous place to be.

So I explained to the

person on the phone

what a stupid idiot they

were, as if they didn’t

know already, and how

I did not appreciate

them calling me, par-

ticularly at this time of

the day.

Then I heard the mag-

ical sound of “click.” He

was no longer on the

phone.

Sitting back at the

table, I looked at my

Apple Fritters, and as

I took my first bite, I

thought of a verse of

Scripture that means a

lot to me.

“There hath no temp-

tation taken you but

such as is common to

man: but God is faith-

ful, who will not suffer

you to be tempted above

that ye are able; but

will with the tempta-

tion also make a way to

escape, that ye may be

able to bear it” (1 Cor-

inthians 10:13).

There is a hymn that

says, “Yield not to temp-

tation, for yielding is

sin.” Temptations are

there all the time, but

God can give me the

strength not to yield to

them. I can’t control the

temptation but I can the

yielding part.

Albert Benjamin Worrell, 89,

peacefully stepped from his Tal-

lahassee home into his heavenly

home on Saturday Aug. 7, 2021

after a lengthy illness. There he

joins many loved ones, including his

cherished wife of 41 years, Benita

Linton Worrell who arrived in De-

cember 2020.

Albert was born to Redden Whitt

and Mattie Bell Peacock Worrell

in Moultrie, Georgia on March 18,

1932. He stayed in Moultrie until

making his way to Florida in the

mid-1950s, where he lived primarily

in Wakulla County until his death.

He embarked on a long successful

career with the State of Florida in

1958, retiring in 1993 as the As-

sistant Director Finance & Account-

ing at the Department of Natural

Resources.

He had a rich deep voice and

sang bass for the Happy Christian

Singers as they traveled across the

southeast in the 1970s and periodi-

cally afterward. His voice remained

strong enough to bless his local

church with solos even into his

eighties. His faith was important

to him and he enjoyed studying

the Bible, seeking new insight from

the various translations. Albert was

kind, loved his family and friends,

and was always willing to lend a

helping hand. He also loved to “col-

lect” and relished the art of good-

natured negotiation.

In addition to his wife and par-

ents, Albert is preceded in death

by his oldest son Dennis Worrell,

sisters Pearl Mathis and Nellie

Mae Hall, and grandson Joshua

Lynch. He is survived by children,

Ira Worrell, Brenda Ryman (Gary),

Tara Roberts (Michael) and Chuck

Greene (Erin); grandchildren Austin

Ryman and Garth, Brianna, and

Shea Greene; brother Lacy Worrell

(Boots) and a host of extended fam-

ily and friends.

Visitation will be held on Satur-

day, Aug. 14, 2021 from 1 p.m. to 2

p.m. at Friendship Baptist Church

in Medart, Florida, followed by fu-

neral service at 2 p.m. Interment

will be at Friendship Cemetery.

the Lord on Aug. 8, 2021.

His homegoing and celebration of

life will be Friday, Aug. 13, 2021, at

Heritage Assembly of God where he

was a faithful member.

Visitation will be held at Heri-

tage Assembly of God, Thursday,

Chance Carter to coach at h omas County HighSpecial to The News

F r o m W a k u l l a County recreational park baseball player to Thomas County Pitching Coordinator, W a k u l l a H i g h graduate Chance Carter begins his career in Thomasville, Georgia.

Carter graduated from Wakulla High School in 2015 and was awarded a base-ball scholarship to attend Thomas Uni-versity.

In 2019, the Thom-as University Night-hawk’s baseball team won the first Sun Conference Champi-onship Title in pro-gram history.

Carter coached at Thomas Univer-sity while finishing his degree and was awarded a Bachelor’s in Business Manage-ment and Adminis-tration in 2020.

This past summer, Carter served as the pitching coach for the Richmond Jazz - a summer collegiate team in Richmond Indiana.

While in Indiana, Carter received his official job offer from Thomas County Cen-tral High School.

Carter has accept-

ed a position teaching Workforce Readiness in the Career, Tech-nology, and Agricul-tural Department at Thomas County Cen-tral High School.

He will also serve as the Junior Varsity and Varsity pitching coach.

Carter explained, “I am absolutely hon-ored and blessed to have these opportu-nities. The most in-fluential people in my life, outside of family, have been teachers and coaches. I chose

this career path with hopes that I can do the same for my stu-dents and athletes. I am committed to cre-ating a positive and uplifting classroom environment where students feel comfort-able being themselves while preparing for life after high school.”

Chance is the son of Kevin and Amy Carter and Tonya Carter, and grandson of Alton and Loretta Lawrence and Glenn and Lavetra Parr.

By DARA KAMNEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

TALLAHASSEE –

Gov. Ron DeSantis and

President Joe Biden

exchanged barbs this

week over the Repub-

lican governor’s han-

dling of the COVID-19

pandemic as the high-

ly transmissible delta

variant of the coro-

navirus rips through

Florida.

Florida and Texas

share the dubious dis-

tinction of leading the

nation in hospitaliza-

tions and new Covid-19

cases, prompting Biden

to scold DeSantis, Tex-

as Gov. Greg Abbott

and other state leaders

over pandemic policies.

Biden’s criticism came

after DeSantis issued

an executive order last

week banning school

districts from requir-

ing students to wear

masks and threatening

to withhold funding to

schools that defy him.

“If you’re not going to

help, at least get out of

the way of people trying

to do the right thing,”

Biden said Tuesday.

The president’s ad-

vice unleashed a ti-

rade by DeSantis, who

spent about five min-

utes of an appearance

in Panama City dress-

ing down the Demo-

crat.

“Joe Biden suggests

that if you don’t do

lockdown policies then

you should quote ‘get

out the way,’” the gov-

ernor, who is emerging

as a frontrunner in the

2024 GOP presiden-

tial primary lineup,

said Wednesday. “But

let me tell you this,

if you’re coming after

the rights of parents

in Florida, I’m standing

in your way. I’m not

gonna let you get away

with it.”

When asked about

DeSantis’ comments

on Thursday, Biden

delivered another jab.

“Governor who?”

Biden said, breaking

into a grin. “That’s my

response.”

The federal Centers

for Disease Control and

Prevention recently re-

leased guidance rec-

ommending that chil-

dren wear masks in-

doors when the school

year resumes and that

vaccinated people wear

face coverings indoors

in areas with high Co-

vid-19 infection rates.

Democrats are amp-

ing up attacks on De-

Santis and his man-

agement of the pan-

demic as health care

providers, hospital ad-

ministrators and local

officials wrangle with

the skyrocketing num-

ber of Covid-19 cases

in Florida. The Dem-

ocratic attacks also

have come as DeSantis

crisscrosses the coun-

try building a hefty war

chest for his re-election

bid next year.

“He is flouting sci-

ence. He is giving the

middle finger to sci-

ence,” U.S. Rep. Debbie

Wasserman Schultz

told reporters during

a video conference

call Thursday. “If he

doesn’t want to impose

a statewide mask man-

date, which he should

… then he should get

out of the damn way

and stop jeopardizing

people’s lives.”

POLITICAL HOT

POTATO

Debate over whether

school districts should

be allowed to require

children to wear masks

took a new twist Fri-

day, as the State Board

of Education signed off

on a new regulation

that will allow students

to use taxpayer-backed

vouchers to transfer

to private schools if

they object to wearing

masks in classrooms.

DeSantis’ execu-

tive order last week

directed the state De-

partment of Education

and the Department

of Health to come up

with rules designed to

prevent school districts

from establishing poli-

cies requiring masks

for students.

The Board of Educa-

tion approved an emer-

gency rule that will

allow students who ex-

perience what the De-

partment of Education

has labeled “Covid-19

harassment” to receive

vouchers through the

state’s Hope Scholar-

ship program. That

program was originally

intended to provide

vouchers to students

who were bullied.

Under the rule, “Co-

vid-19 harassment” is

defined as “any threat-

ening, discriminatory,

insulting, or dehuman-

izing verbal, written

or physical conduct

an individual student

suffers in relation to,

or as a result of, school

district protocols for

Covid-19,” including

masking, testing and

quarantine require-

ments.

Meanwhile Friday,

a group of 12 parents

who have children with

disabilities filed a fed-

eral lawsuit challeng-

ing DeSantis’ execu-

tive order, alleging it

discriminates against

disabled students.

The lawsuit argues,

in part, that by “re-

fusing to allow school

districts to implement

mask mandates, Gov-

ernor DeSantis has

placed an illegal bar-

rier for students with

disabilities which is

preventing our state’s

most vulnerable stu-

dents from returning

to public schools.”

Filed in the federal

Southern District of

Florida by Miami at-

torney Matthew Dietz,

the lawsuit names as

defendants DeSan-

tis, the Department

of Education, Educa-

tion Commissioner

Richard Corcoran and

the school boards in

Orange, Miami-Dade,

Hillsborough, Palm

Beach, Broward, Pas-

co, Alachua and Volu-

sia counties. It alleges

that the governor’s or-

der violates the Ameri-

cans with Disabilities

Act and two other fed-

eral laws.

SAD OVER SEA

COWS

With more than 840

manatee deaths re-

ported in the state this

year, members of the

Florida Fish and Wild-

life Conservation Com-

mission on Wednesday

expressed a need for

patience after receiving

an outline of efforts to

combat a significant

decline in water qual-

ity, particularly along

the state’s East Coast.

The water -qual i ty

problems have caused

a significant loss of

seagrass, which is a

primary source of food

for manatees.

“A couple of things

that are, you know,

scary things to say,

but you know the long-

term solution of habi-

tat restoration, that’s

seagrass restoration,

doesn’t happen over-

night,” Commissioner

Mike Sole, a former

secretary of the Florida

Department of Envi-

ronmental Protection,

said. “So, I call it a five-

to 10-year process. …

We really can’t start

planting grasses until

water quality is reason-

ably squared away in

certain parts.”

Kate MacFall, state

director of The Hu-

mane Society of the

United States, said the

commission could use

the manatee situation

as an opportunity to

improve state waters.

“We urge you to

work with the (Depart-

ment of Environmental

Protection), the water

management districts,

the legislators – I know

you already do, but

even more – and others

to find ways to improve

the quality of water, of

what is discharged into

our waterways,” Mac-

Fall said. “You have

a loud voice, and this

agency carries a lot

of weight and a lot of

authority and people

listen.”

Florida waters have

between 7,520 and

10,280 of the threat-

ened species, which

commission Chair-

man Rodney Barreto

called a success story

as manatees were re-

classified in 2017 as

no longer considered

endangered. But the

number of deaths this

year has already sur-

passed the prior one-

year record of 830 in

2013.

STORY OF THE

WEEK: Covid-19 cases

continue to soar in

Florida, filling hospi-

tals and fueling de-

bates about issues

such as mask require-

ments for children in

public schools.

QUOTE OF THE

WEEK: “While it may

purport to protect and

advance intellectual

freedom and viewpoint

diversity on Florida’s

public college and uni-

versity campuses, its

reality – and its inten-

tion – is the exact op-

posite.” – from a law-

suit challenging a new

state law that, in part,

requires colleges and

universities to conduct

surveys about “intel-

lectual freedom and

viewpoint diversity.”

SPECIAL OF THE WEEK

from $649from $189

By MARJ LAW

“I want you to show

me how to shoot my

.22,” she says.

“Why?” I want to

know. After all, her

husband says he grew

up shooting.

“Because I want a

woman to teach me,”

she answers.

Yikes. Who do you

trust more than your

spouse? Or an officer

who’s been shooting

for years, even de-

cades?

“My husband gets

frustrated with me.

Then he yells. I know

you won’t yell at me,

even if I’m doing some-

thing stupid.”

Well, true. And over

the years, quite a few

women have expressed

the desire to be taught

by another woman for

various reasons.

One woman said, “I

don’t want a strange

man in my personal

space.” At the Wakul-

la County Sheriff’s

Office Range, shoot-

ing booths are about

3.5-feet wide. A Kev-

lar covered partition

separates the shooting

areas from each other

for safety. When you

put two people in this

space, yes, it does get

a bit crowded.

W e h a v e o u r

thoughts as to how

close someone can be

before he/she gets into

our “personal space.”

I’ve never heard a man

say his space was vio-

lated, but I’ve heard

quite a few women say

it. Maybe it has some-

thing to do with size,

as men are generally

larger than women.

Size can be intimidat-

ing.

Sometimes you’ll

see a person shooting,

leaning backwards.

It’s one thing for an-

other woman to gen-

tly touch the trainee

between her shoul-

der blades to put her

torso in a slightly for-

ward stance, but some

women just don’t want

an unfamiliar man

touching them. At all.

One friend said a

large guy startled her

by coming into her

booth. It shocked her

so she turned to see

who was beside her.

Which isn’t so strange,

except that she had

her gun in her hand

which was now point-

ed at the guy. She

could have pulled the

trigger because she

was so startled. After

that experience, she

only wanted a woman

with her.

Many women have

some similar con-

cerns. Most women

want a gun that fits

in their hands. Tra-

ditionally, handguns

have had large grips,

although now several

have come on the mar-

ket which fit smaller

hands. A guy might

not think of this, but

when your index finger

can’t reach the trigger

because the grip is so

wide, you can’t shoot

well.

Because of their

larger bone structure,

and again I’m gener-

alizing, men do not

experience recoil the

way women do. A guy’s

mass absorbs a lot

of the recoil. People

who are smaller often

feel the recoil more

acutely.

Just as most wom-

en want less recoil

in a gun, they also

don’t like the big bang

noise coming from

larger-caliber hand-

guns. Many women

wear earplugs as well

as earmuffs because

they don’t want to be

startled by a loud pop.

And speaking of

those higher caliber

handguns, they are

usually louder and

have more recoil than

lower-caliber guns, so

women do not want

to learn on a higher

caliber handgun. This

can be a problem, as

some households have

a .40 or a .45 caliber

handgun. If you can

learn with someone

using a lower-caliber

handgun, then it be-

comes easier to shoot

that larger gun.

Guys who have been

shooting for years are

used to gun termi-

nology. For instance,

when you say “front

sight” to Newbie gal,

Newbie may wonder

if you mean the sight

next to her front or the

sight far from her with

its front nearer to the

target.

And how does New-

bie know what am-

munition to purchase?

How come you buy

.22 long rifle ammo

when you don’t have a

rifle, but you do have

a S&W Victory hand-

gun? Granted, your

Victory is longer than

some other .22 hand-

guns, but it’s still not a

rifle. This is confusing.

It isn’t any easier

when buying 9mm

rounds. Do you get

9mm Luger? A Luger?

When you have a 9mm

Glock?

And what’s this 9 x

19, 9 x 18, and 9 x 17

ammo? Which one do

you get for your 9mm

handgun?

Why are you buying

“rounds?” Aren’t they

bullets? And if they’re

bullets, then what’s a

cartridge?

Sometimes it seems

guys have sprouted

knowing these terms

and their differences.

Women, on the oth-

er hand, have their

own understandings.

For one thing, we’ve

all heard that South-

ern women “glow.”

Here at the range,

women sweat. Those

huge earmuff-style

hearing protection

things have a lot of

plastic around the

ears and in the head-

bands. This makes

you sweat a lot worse.

The headbands squish

your fluffy hair flat,

and the sweat does

the rest. Not pretty.

Shooting in a Florida

summer is bad for

your ‘do.

Those big earmuffs

rub against your ears,

so you can lose an ear-

ring. It doesn’t mean

much to a guy, but

this is why you wear

your cheap earrings to

the range.

Women wear more

rings than men. Gen-

erally. Except for Elton

John. Getting a firm

grip when you’re wear-

ing several rings is

most uncomfortable.

Again, other women

understand this.

For all these rea-

sons, except for in

this hottest time of

the year, women have

been meeting at the

Wakulla County Sher-

iff’s Office range on

Wednesday mornings.

A few intrepid souls

still come around 9:30,

while others await the

cooler weather. We

practice shooting and

safety skills. We learn

from other women.

And we sweat.

Marj Law is the for-

mer director of Keep

Wakulla County Beau-

tiful who has become

an avid shooter in re-

tirement.

This is a repeat of

a column that ap-

peared in August

2019.

Why a woman wants a woman trainer


Member Scott Haus-

mann came across the

following information in

a recent article in the

NY Times titled “Boom-

ing Interest in Boating

Leads to More Deaths

and Accidents.” The

article reported that

the U.S. Coast Guard

reported a 25 percent

jump in boating fatali-

ties last summer com-

pared to the year before,

and casualty numbers

this summer are track-

ing to be even higher.

Part of this challenge

has been attributed

to inexperienced boat-

ers purchasing older

boats. Between inexpe-

rience and mechanical

issues, the likelihood

for emergency and non-

emergency situations

are higher.

The article stated that

“Recreational boating, a

pastime highly ame-

nable to social distanc-

ing, has boomed during

the pandemic. New boat

sales reached a 13-year

high in 2020, according

to the National Marine

Manufacturers Associa-

tion, while purchases of

wake boats specifically

— the vessels used for

water skiing and wake-

surfing — shot up 20

percent. But as boating

interest has increased,

so, too, have boating

accidents.”

Deaths from boating

accidents rose more

than 25 percent in

2020, with 26 percent

more overall incidents

than in 2019 as more

people took to the water

during pandemic shut-

downs, according to the

U.S. Coast Guard’s an-

nual Recreational Boat-

ing Statistics Report. In

77 percent of the fatal

cases, according to the

Coast Guard, the boat

operator had not re-

ceived any training.

Analyzing the report,

Bridget Johnson with

Homeland Security To-

day, identified that the

primary factors were

operator inattention,

operator inexperience,

improper lookout, ex-

cessive speed, machin-

ery failure, navigation

rules violation, alcohol

use, weather, hazard-

ous waters, and the

force of a wave or wake.

The majority of ac-

cidents, deaths, and

injuries occurred on

lakes, ponds, or reser-

voirs, followed by rivers

or bayous.

Thanks to Sherrie,

we will always remem-

ber safe boating is no

accident!

Scallops

Here we are in August and the lively topic of

the month is SCALLOPS! Everyone is collecting

them as they are wonderful to eat cooked or raw.

And this year they seem to be plentiful, collected

from Gulf to Pasco Counties and beyond. The

scalloping season dates by county are as follows:

• St. Joseph Bay & Gulf County: Aug. 16-Sept.

24, 2021

• Franklin County through northwestern Taylor

County (including Carrabelle, Lanark, and St.

Marks): July 1 through Sept. 24, 2021

• Fenholloway through Suwannee Rivers Zone

(including Keaton Beach and the Steinhatchee

area): June 15 through Labor Day 2021

• Levy, Citrus, and Hernando counties (includ-

ing Cedar Key, Crystal River, and Homosassa):

July 1 through Sept. 24, 2021

• Pasco County: July 16-25, 2021

Scallops are a cosmopolitan family of bivalves

commonly found only in the ocean. Many are

unusual in that they can swim by opening and

closing their valves and jetting water, as a way

to move about. They move into the grass beds

in shallow waters during the summer to feed

on plankton. If there is a lot of rain, they tend

to stay a bit further off shore. Scallops have a

well-developed nervous system, and unlike most

other bivalves, all scallops have a ring of numer-

ous simple eyes situated around the edge of their

mantles.

Bay Scallops (scientific name Argopecten ir-

radians) are found along Florida’s Gulf Coast

spanning between Pensacola and the Florida

Keys. Alongside, there are smaller, more localized,

populations that can be found in Florida Bay.

Most of these areas have a very delicate balance

between ecology and populations which is why

you cannot harvest Bay Scallops from all of these

locations. They can grow to 3.5 inches across a

2-year period, but typically are harvested at one

year with an average length of 3 inches.

There are limits to the number of scallops that

a person may collect in Florida. Each person can

have up to 2 gallons of whole bay scallops in the

shell (or 1 pint of bay scallop meat, shucked).

The vessel maximum is 10 gallons of whole bay

scallops in the shell (or 1/2 gallon bay scallop

meat, shucked). Fenholloway through Suwannee

River has a different requirement of one gallon

(one cup shucked meat) from June 15 to 30 and

two gallons (1/2 gallon shucked meat) from July

1 through Labor Day.

Snorkel gear is all that is needed to track down

these delicious creatures. Find densely populated

grass beds, in shallow (3-6 foot) depths Our

most popular sites are from the St Marks Light

house east along the coastal boundary around to

Steinhatchee , off Lanark beach and Port St. Joe

Bay off the park. Down the west coast of Florida

at Crystal River, Homosassa, Keaton Beach and

Hernando Beach are also popular locations.

Once collected, cleaning the animal is easy.

Open the shell with a blade, cut the muscle at the

shell, , and slip the blade around the mantle, then

pull the tissue away. What remains is the single

muscle attached to the shell at one end. Scrape

the muscle off the other shell and drop into a bin.

The muscle is sweet tasting, even when raw. And

the shells make a great lei when strung together.

Birding at the refuge – Aug. 4By DON MORROW

It’s August at St.

Marks NWR. The white

water-lilies on the ref-

uge’s pools, triggered

by heat, open early in

the day and close in late

afternoon. Red-bellied

Woodpeckers are de-

fending the newly ripe

fruits of grape, elder-

berry, swamp dogwood

and peppervine. Pine

hibiscus, partridge pea

and wood sage are in

bloom. It is hot, humid

and buggy, but life goes

on.

A few days ago, I

watched a pair of high-

flying Mississippi Kites

dive several hundred

feet to attack a Great

Horned Owl that I had

flushed off a levee.

They’re known for their

aggressiveness towards

these owls. The owl was

a St. Marks resident. It

is likely that it was born

here and will spend its

whole life on the refuge.

Although some Mis-

sissippi Kites do nest

on the refuge, they are

only here in summer.

This pair was probably

just migrating through.

Many early migrants,

like Mississippi Kites,

follow a circum-Gulf

track. These kites will

be moving West and

then down through

Central America to

spend the winter in

Paraguay or Argentina.

The pace of Fall mi-

gration picks up in Au-

gust. Migrant Yellow

Warblers become more

common. They can of-

ten be found in the

tops of cabbage palms

along Lighthouse Road.

It’s also a time to look

for other early migrat-

ing warblers too; Prai-

rie, Black-and-white

and Hooded, as well

as, American Redstart

and both Louisiana and

Northern Waterthrush.

A few of these species

have already been re-

ported at St. Marks.

Shorebirds are con-

tinuing to move through

the refuge. Pectoral

Sandpipers are feeding

along the edge of Stony

Bayou and Black-

bellied Plovers, still in

breeding plumage, are

about to arrive back

from their High Arctic

nesting grounds. Some

of the plovers, and all

of the Pectorals, will

continue on and winter

in South America.

Late in the month,

flocks of migrant East-

ern Kingbirds, some-

times numbering in the

hundreds, will spend

the night in the refuge’s

marshes. Just before

sunrise, you can watch

them rise up and fly

East to follow the Flor-

ida peninsula South.

Blue-winged Teal, the

first of our wintering

duck species, appear

in August and the first

of our winter eagles will

arrive this month.

It’s easy to see North-

ern species as they be-

gin to migrate through.

It can be difficult to

notice migrants of spe-

cies that nest local-

ly, but any Blue-gray

Gnatcatcher that you

see now is a migrant.

Our nesting gnatcatch-

ers left a month ago.

Migrant birds may be

difficult to discern as

they mix in with local

birds. Great Egrets will

be more common this

month as egrets from

further North start to

move through.

Birds aren’t the only

ones migrating. August

is also the beginning of

the migration season

for several species of

dragonflies. The local

populations of Green

Darners and Black Sad-

dlebags will swell this

month as their North-

ern kin move through.

It’s August. Come

early before the heat

sets in or come in late

afternoon when rain

breaks the stifling heat

of midday. Bring wa-

ter to hydrate and bug

spray for the flies and

mosquitos. Make short-

er forays if you must.

Life is already in

progress at St. Marks

NWR. Come down and

be part of it.

The summer of 2021

appears to be devel-

oping as a period of

liberation between two

pandemics with re-

strictions on activi-

ties. One of the many

advantages of living in

panhandle Florida are

the numerous choices

for summer activities.

Chief among the

many entertaining op-

tions for spending pas-

time hours are those

which center on the

Gulf of Mexico. There is

swimming, snorkeling,

diving, boating, fish-

ing, and many more

ways to enjoy the idle

hours in this agreeable

setting.

As with any natu-

ral environment, a

healthy respect for the

creatures which re-

side there must main-

tained. The salty warm

water can obscure

some problems for the

careless visitor.

While the public per-

ception of marine dan-

ger usually conjures

an image of a leering

denizen of the deep

with sharp teeth, the

truth is much differ-

ent. Some of the most

common creatures

are the most oft cited

as inflicting injury on

thoughtless human

trespassers.

Barnacles are one

of those frequently

overlooked creatures.

The oblivious swim-

mer or fisherman who

contacts their sharp

and jagged outer shells

usually leaves worse

for the wear.

Related to crabs and

lobsters, these animals

are commonly found in

shallow waters which

advance and retreat

with the tides. Bar-

nacles affix themselves

permanently to a hard

dense, objects thereby

encrusting its surface.

This includes dock

pilings, sea walls, rip-

rap, and most other

fixed objects left in the

water. Occasionally

barnacles can be found

attached to mobile ar-

ticles like seashells,

bottles and other de-

bris.

Combined with a

strong current or sub-

stantial wave, people

or anything else can

experience the abra-

sive qualities of this

marine arthropod. Its

rough exterior aside,

barnacles are a benign

and curious inhabitant

of Wakulla County’s

coast.

There are currently

over a thousand iden-

tified barnacle spe-

cies know worldwide.

Those from the super

order Cirripedia are

most common in local

waters.

Barnacles have two

larval stages before

developing into adult-

hood. Once hatched,

the initial phase in-

volves growth and de-

velopment for about six

months.

The second larval

stage finds the bar-

nacle independent and

seeking a lifelong site

with all the necessary

amenities. This period

may last from days to

weeks as the barnacle

explores its environ-

ment while being car-

ried by the currents

and tides.

During the second

larval stage the tiny

barnacle lives on stored

nutrients and does not

eat. As these resources

deplete, the unlucky

barnacle may be forced

to settle for a less than

ideal home site.

When the site is se-

lected, the barnacle

literally becomes at-

tached for life. It uses

secretions from glands

at the base of its head

to glue itself upside

down to the object.

As they settle in to

their new home, they

develop protective ar-

mor plating. Barnacles

continue to build this

predator protection

throughout life, add-

ing new material to

their heavily calcified

and rough shells.

To feed, the barna-

cle extends it feathery

feet into the flowing

water and filters out

plankton delivered by

random chance on the

tides. Even this seem-

ingly simple and care-

free life has some seri-

ous complications.

Marauding Whelks,

a native gastropod

commonly found in

the waters off North

Florida, consider bar-

nacles a top menu se-

lection. They easily

grind through the bar-

nacles’ exoskeletons

and consume the softer

inside parts.

The immobile bar-

nacles can only await

their fate. It seems like

there is always some-

thing out there to spoil

summer’s fun.

this marine species in

the waters off Wakulla

tension Office at (850)

Welcome back,

students and parents

Welcome back to all Wakulla stu-dents for the 2021-22 school year!

The teachers, ad-ministrators and staff are all looking forward to seeing our returning students and to welcoming the new ones to our system in pre-kin-dergarten, kindergar-ten, and other grades where students have just moved into our school district.

I look forward to another success-ful school year with the best students, parents, and educa-tors in the state. The teamwork contrib-utes to making our school system one of the best in Florida and in the nation. Our continued suc-cess remains depen-dent on this special relationship.

As we begin this new year, our ability

to work together as a community will be critical as we navi-gate a new normal that is the Covid-19 pandemic. Compas-sion, grace, courtesy and understanding will be essential traits that we all must dis-play if we are to suc-cessfully open school and work towards the safety of everyone involved in educating our students.

There will be many challenges for all of us as we work to-gether to ensure a

quality educational experience for all of our students. Even the best-made plans do not always go as smoothly as we would hope. Remain-ing calm and focused on a safe re-opening will be our goal!

The one thing that I know about our great county is the dedica-tion of our citizens to our students and our school system as a whole. I am confident we will be successful working together.

Wakulla County is a special place made up of special people! With such a value placed on education and a motto of “Com-mitted to Success,” we hope that 2021-22 is your best year yet despite these un-precedented times!

Sincerely,

Bobby Pearce

The Wakulla County School Board is looking for individuals with an excellent

driving record and who love kids! BECOME A BUS DRIVER! Being a bus driver

means you have a job with full beneits, full pay but have working hours that

allow you time off during the day. You also have opportunities to participate

in earning additional pay by driving extra hours: school ield trips, athletic

activities, and many other similar types of jobs. A bus driver can choose to drive

a daily bus route and do much more, but YOU get to decide what you do and do

not want to do! You do not know how to drive a bus? No worries! We train you

at no cost and get you safely prepared to transport children each day. Once you

become a Wakulla County Bus Driver, you have your Commercial Driving License

(CDL) and become a part of the Wakulla County School Board Family!

Call the Transportation Department at 850-926-7550

and ask for Shannon Smith or Pat Jones.

They can tell you all about becoming a bus driver, the hours,

the pay and how to get you started right away!

School bus safety for bus ridersMany students take the bus to school twice a day,

ive days a week. Approximately 26 million elementary

and secondary school children ride school buses

daily in the United States, and the U.S. Department

of Transportation says more than 50 percent of all

K-12 students in the country ride yellow school buses,

traveling approximately 4 billion miles each year.

The vast majority of these miles are traveled without

incident. In fact, according to the National Safety

Council, the national school bus accident rate

is 0.01 per 100 miles traveled, compared to

0.96 for other passenger vehicles, which

makes school buses considerably safer

than other passenger vehicles.

Though school buses are safe,

there are other ways to make them

even safer. Children, especially

those new to school buses, may

ind the bus fun and unique

simple safety rules.

But parents should
