State Parks

The beauty and history of Columbia County is revealed in its waterways and state parks.

Ichetucknee River The world-famous Ichetucknee River flows through six miles of shaded canopy before mixing with the tannin-colored water of the Santa Fe River. One of the most unique springs in Florida, it draws more than 200,000 people annually to its shores. The brisk Ichetucknee River is one of Columbia County’s most pristine and popular attractions. During summer months, visitors journey down the river in tubes, rafts, canoes and kayaks for a scenic view of the area. Tubing is the river’s largest attraction. While guests can tube from

the mid-point all year, the full trip can only be enjoyed between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The break gives the shallow north section of the river time to regrow and recover from the heavy traffic of the summer. There is no tram service in the off-season. Scuba diving is allowed at the Blue Hole Spring from October through March, but divers must be cave or cavern certified. Divers cannot stay past 5 p.m. Visitors to the park can also picnic, snorkel, canoe, swim, hike and enjoy wildlife. The park has picnic areas, equipped with tables and grills, throughout the park. A full-service concession offers food, refreshments and outdoor products during the summer months. The park is a year-round tourist attraction beyond tubing. Visitors can view the area’s wildlife when colder weather arrives. The lo-

cal wildlife found at Ichetucknee Springs State Park are white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, turtles, tortoises, snakes, great blue herons and Bachman sparrows, which attract a lot of visitors. Visiting explorers can follow natural trails that wind through the park’s natural forested ecosystems. An on-site environmental educational center showcases interactive props, information boards and educational displays on the water’s journey. The park permits canoes and kayaks on the river all year for a slow-changing panorama. Ichetucknee Springs State Park is open from 8 a.m. until sundown.

On the banks of the Suwannee River, the center honors the memory of Foster, an American composer who wrote the song “Old Folks at Home.” The song made the river famous. On the park, standing proudly amid the old oak trees, the Stephen Foster Museum features exhibits about Foster’s most famous songs. Ten dioramas display illustrations and messages from Foster’s 10 most celebrated golden oldies, such as “Oh! Susanna” and “Jeanie with the Light-Brown Hair.” The first eight dioramas took almost two years of construction by 14 artists, averaging 1,500 hours of work each. Throughout the day, the carillon tower strikes a musical tune, playing Foster’s popular songs, to entertain guests. The tower houses the 97-bell carillon, which stands at more than 200-feet tall. It’s one of the largest musical instruments and is the largest set of tubular bells in the world. The bells were installed at the park in the summer of 1958. Craft Square is one of the most popular place for visitors. Demonstrations in blacksmithing, stainedglass making and quilting are offered throughout the day. Instructors teach craft workshops during the weekends such as pottery, leather working and tie-dye shirts. Pre-made crafts are available in the gift shop. In May, the annual Folk Festival is one of the park’s biggest draws. The festival hosts numerous vendors selling crafts and goods. The weekend is also filled with live folk music. Riverside cabins are available for 14 | 2015 Columbia County Information Guide

visitors to sleep in. Each cabin comes equipped with a kitchenette, outdoor grill, fireplace and sleeping accommodations for up to six. Guests can take a hike, bicycle through the park, canoe the Suwannee or visit the park’s trails during their stay. O’Leno State Park One of Florida’s first state parks, O’Leno State Park offers camping, fishing and hiking. Group gatherings can be hosted at the large picnic areas, which include grills, pavilions and a playground. Swimming and canoeing are also available. The Civilian Conservation Corps first developed the park in the 1930s. A suspension bridge built by the Corps still spans the river. On the banks of the Santa Fe River, a tributary of the Suwannee River, the park includes sinkholes, hardwood hammocks, river swamps and sandhills. As the river twists through the Florida’s natural foliage, it disappears underground and reemerges over three miles away in the River Rise State Preserve. Visitors are permitted to fish in the river. Rentals are available for canoeing or biking. O’Leno State Park is also home to the Bellamy Road, which was Florida’s first federally funded road. It was built in 1824. The road ran east from St. Augustine, crossed the St. Johns River and connected Tallahassee to Pensacola. Bellamy road continues to be a clear path into Columbia County, as it passes through O’Leno State Park and remains there after 187 years. The park is open from 8 a.m. until sundown throughout the year. It’s $5 per vehicle with two-eight people, and $4 for vehicles with no passengers. Camping fees are $18 per night plus tax for use of the full facility. Cabins can be rented for

$25-75, and picnic pavilions can be rented for $50 a day. Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park More than 150 years ago, Union and Confederate troops clashed at the Battle of Olustee, the only major Civil War battle fought on Florida soil. The Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park commemorates the site of the battle, which took place on February 20, 1864. More than 10,000 cavalry, infantry and artillery troops battled for five hours in the pine forests near Olustee. It ended with 2,807 casualties. Three U.S. Colored Troops took part in the battle, including the 1st North Carolina, 8th United States Colored Troops and the now famous 54th Massachusetts. In 1912, when many living Civil War veterans were still attending reunions, the Olustee Battlefield became the state’s first historic site. Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park has a visitor center with historical information and artifcts. Every February, the park holds a reenactment of the war and a Civil War Expo takes place in the late summer. Visitors can enjoy a meal at the picnic area or take a walk along the mile-long trail that includes interpretive signs describing the events of the battle. There is no entrance fee required to enter the park. However, there is a special event fee to attend the Battle of Olustee Reenactment, commemorating the 151st anniversary of the battle, in February. It is open daily from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Contact the park for more information at 386-758-0400.

County Parks People looking for fun on the water and at the park can head to Falling Creek Falls, Rum Island Park and Alligator Lake Recreation Area.

Falling Creek Falls Wet flatwoods, pine plantations and scrubby flatwoods blend together to create the natural landscape surrounding Falling Creek Falls Park. One of the county’s gems, the 75-acre park sits in the northern portion of the county near the intersection of U.S. Highway 441 and Interstate 10 on County Road 131. A small creek divides the northern section of the park with the southern section. Wildlife species include gopher tortoises, wading birds, deer, squirrels and raccoons. For bird watchers, Falling Creek Falls Park is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail. At normal water levels, the creek roars over a 10-foot waterfall then flows under Falling Creek Road. It pools over limestone boulders at the bottom of a

16 | 2015 Columbia County Information Guide

ravine before disappearing underground. The area was the site of the first settlement in the area. Opened in 2001, Falling Creek Falls features a recreation site with picnic tables, a playground, a boardwalk to the falls and a historic building. Visitors can enjoy hiking, picnicking and wildlife viewing. The park is managed through a partnership with Columbia County and Suwannee River Water Management District. The property was purchased from the Parker and Hogan Families to protect and preserve the falls. For park information, contact the county at 386-719-7545. It remains open from 8 a.m. until sundown. Rum Island Park Fed by one of several dozen freshwater springs that feed the Santa Fe River, Rum Island

Spring Park offers free access to the river through a public boat ramp and swimming spot. The park also provides a picnic area. Maintained by Columbia County, about eight known springs make up the Rum Island Park system. The springs include Rum Island Spring and Little Rum Island Spring Run. It is the only park in the area that provides free access to a swimmable spring. Contact the county at 386719-7545 for more information. Alligator Lake Park Tucked away off Old Country Club Road, the Alligator Lake Recreation Area provides a playground, picnic tables, hiking trails and boat ramps. The lake totals nearly 800 acres and is located in Columbia County, while the park is 130 acres. Nearly two-thirds of the

lake’s surface area is within the city limits. Prior to 1997, only 338 acres were accessible to the public. Since then, the county purchased the adjacent lands using funds from the Preservation 2000 Communities Trust. The purchase included 450 acres of former lake bottom that had been diked and drained for agricultural purposes in the 1950s and 1960s. Several sinkholes are located in the north and south basins of the lake. These provide a direct connection to the aquifer. Alligator Lake is the headwaters for Ichetucknee Springs. One of the sinkholes frequently causes the northern lake basin to drain during periods of drought. Columbia County’s Alligator Lake opened in April 2002. A small boat launch on the north marsh and boardwalks provide anglers a local fishing spot.

However, Alligator Lake is a Fish Management Area, so a license is required to fish in the north and south lake basins and the north and south marshes. During the waterfowl hunting season, no fishing access will be permitted in the north and south marshes on Tuesdays and Thursdays until noon. The area is established as a small game hunting area, which means ducks only.

Courts and the judicial system Columbia County is part of Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Third Judicial Circuit, which is composed of Columbia, Dixie, Hamilton, Lafayette, Madison, Suwannee and Taylor counties. Seven circuit judges preside over court cases and proceedings. Four of the circuit judges are based in Lake City, though some of their assignments include other counties. The judges preside over several court divisions that include cases in civil court involving contracts, real estate, foreclosures, personal injury, business transactions, fami-

18 | 2015 Columbia County Information Guide

ly law, other civil matters and other litigation matters. Circuit judges also handle cases in the following divisions: Felony, juvenile (delinquency and dependency), family (divorces, adoptions, paternity, custody, domestic violence injunctions, etc.), probate and guardianship. One county judge presides over other matters including civil cases where the amount in controversy is less than $15,000, traffic offenses and misdemeanor criminal cases. The county judge for Columbia County is Judge Tom Coleman.

The Third Judicial Circuit began a transition to an electronic paperless system where documents can be filed and transmitted electronically. The documents will be viewed and managed by the judges on a computer rather than paper as in the past. Officials say the move will save time and money for the court system. The Columbia County Courthouse opened from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., is located at 173 NE Hernando Ave. in Lake City. The general information number is (386) 7582163.

Newcomers Find your place in Columbia County

Columbia County residents who haven’t lived in the county their whole lives say the area is different from their previous homes, but they love it. For some, Lake City is smaller and quieter than where they used to live. But for others, Lake City is a bustling metropolis compared to the rural areas they formerly called home. No matter which category they fall into, these Columbia County residents enjoy living in the county and say they don’t plan on ever leaving. Jennifer Sexton, who moved to Lake City in March 2013 with her husband, Michael Sexton, to open the Chick-fil-A restaurant here in town, falls into the former catego24 | 2015 Columbia County Information Guide

ry of people who lived in bigger places before coming to Columbia County from Merritt Island. But she said she likes that Lake City is small. It has the charm of a small town but still has enough restaurants and stores that it’s an enjoyable place Jennifer Sexton to live, Sexton, 28, said. For her, part of that charm is the strong sense of community you get in Lake City. “There’s an ‘in it together’ feel,” Sexton said. “It seems like people care more about making friends here.” People are involved in the

community, she said. She and her husband don’t have children, but their friends who have kids are involved in the schools and work with district to ensure their kids are getting a good education, she said. Sexton said not only does she love how friendly the people are here, she loves how beautiful the area is. The trees, parks and springs in North Central Florida give the area a kind of beauty that isn’t found in other places. A lot of people move to Florida to live near the beach, but Sexton said when she lived near the beach, there wasn’t much to look at unless you were on the beach. In Lake City, the beauty is around you all the time, even when you’re driving to work. Plus, to

her and her husband, who are both originally from the Panhandle, Lake City feels more like home. Steve Briscoe, another Lake City transplant, was living in Georgia in the early ’90s when he met his wife who was from Suwannee County. After getting married, Briscoe moved to Live Oak, and five years later in 1995, he got transferred to Lake City. And the couple has been here ever since. Briscoe, 57, the owner of The Money Man Check Cashing & Steve Briscoe Pawn, 1st Street Music & Sound Co.,Tax Station and a Lake CityColumbia County Chamber of Commerce board member and a Columbia County Resources board member, said he never really felt at home in the other places he lived. But once he moved to Lake City, that quickly changed. “The town adopted me,” he said. “The people made me feel at home. It’s made up of a lot of good people.” Briscoe loves Lake City, and he loves how centrally located it is. A lot of his family members live in Georgia, so he’s close to them, but Lake City is also close to cool places in Florida like St. Augustine. “I love everything about Lake City,” he said. Heather Gray, the vice president of TD Bank, said she also likes how close Lake City is to other places, specifically how Heather Gray

easy it is to get to them since Lake City is located at the Interstate 10 and Interstate 75 interchange. But what she loves the most about the town is the people. In Lake City, if you meet someone, there’s a good chance you’ll see that person again, she said. Gray, 40, wasn’t used to that when she first moved here from Melbourne in 1999 with her husband. The Orlando-native and University of Florida graduate said in the other places she lived when you met someone new, there was a slim chance you would see that person again, she said. “The friends that we’ve established here are friends for life,” she said. The people who live in Lake City are the same ones who work here, which creates a strong sense of community, Gray said. “I feel that we have been able to develop wonderful relationships with families and friends,” she said. “It’s home to us.” As a Gator grad, Gray said she also likes that Lake City has a lot of UF fans. For 31-year-old Joey Lucas, who moved to Lake City from a naval station in Texas in 2004, Lake City Joey Lucas has just the right amount of country. Before the Department of Children and Families economic self-sufficiency specialist lived in Texas, he grew up in a tiny, rural town in Oklahoma. He moved to Lake City to live with his grandparents but ended up staying after meeting his wife here.

Lucas said he likes that in Lake City you get the best of city and country life. “It’s still country but with stuff to do,” he said. There’s great restaurants in town, Lucas said. “Chasteen’s – you can’t beat it,” he said. But there’s also great fishing in Lake City, and it’s only a few hours away from the mountains and one hour away from the beach, Lucas said. Stephanie Griffith, 43, knew Fort White was where she wanted to retire to as soon as her husband, Phillip Griffith, brought her here for the first time six years ago. Stephanie Griffith After they both retired from their careers in South Florida, they packed up their belongings and moved to Fort White in November 2012. South Florida never felt like home, Phillip Griffith, 50, said. “Nobody in South Florida talked to each other. Nobody was from Phillip Griffith there,” he said. “There’s generations of families here.” People are proud of the community here, Stephanie Griffith said. “They’re willing to get to know you and are genuinely nice,” she said. Fort White has a population of about 580 people, but Stephanie Griffith said she likes that the town moves at a slower pace. Even though Fort White and Columbia Continued on page 26 2015 Columbia County Information Guide | 25

County as a whole don’t have a lot of people, the Griffiths keep busy. “A lot of people say there’s nothing to do here,” Phillip Griffith said. “If you get out of your house and look around, there’s plenty to do.” Ann Opgenorth, an Iowa native who moved to Lake City in 1990, said she loves how gracious the people here are. In the Midwest, the people are nice, but they’re not polite and gracious like people in the south Ann Opgennorth are, she said. Opgenorth, 72, was looking for a place to relocate where she could ride her horses year-round when she saw photos of Lake City in a farming magazine. She had been looking at other areas of Florida but loved what she saw in the photos. When she came to visit Lake City for the first time, she loved the natural beauty of the area but what she really loved was the Columbia County Public Library, which had just been rebuilt at the time. Almost 25 years after Opgenorth first moved here, she said one of things she appreciates the most about Lake City is how moral the community is. People are considerate, and it’s a safe area, she said. “I think Lake City is just a super great place. There’s no place I would rather live, and I’ve traveled,” Opgenorth said. “There’s just everything I could ever want here.”

Lake City Medical Center 340 NW Commons Drive Lake City, FL 32055 (386) 719-9000 Lake City Medical Center continues to shine after 58 years, earning top marks in safety while serving the needs of Columbia County residents. In September, Lake City Medical Center was named one of the nation’s top performers on key quality measures by The Joint Commission. The Joint Commission is the leading accreditor of health care organizations in America. It considered data on evidence-based clinical processes that are shown to improve care for certain conditions, including heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, surgical care and children’s asthma. LCMS was the only area hospital to be recognized in this manner three years in a row. The hospital was also named the 2013 Large Business of the Year by the Lake-Columbia County Chamber of Commerce. In spring 2014, the Lake City Medical Center was awarded with an “A” Hospital Safety Score by The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit run by employers and other large purchasers of health benefits. The Hospital Safety Score was calculated under the guidance of The Leapfrog Group’s Blue Ribbon Expert Panel using data on patient injuries, medical and medication errors, and infections. 32 | 2015 Columbia County Information Guide

The Lake City Medical Center has 67 beds, and is accredited by The Joint Commission. It provides quality care in areas such as emergency services, cancer care, cardiovascular services, orthopedic services, rehabilitation services, women’s health services, diagnostic imaging and surgical services. Currently, the hospital is working to expand the emergency room

to double the amount of available bed space. The Lake City Medical Center is also bringing the cardio catheterization lab inside, which will allow the hospital to expand its cardiac services. The hospital employs more than 475 people from the area, and treats more than 60,000 patients annually.

In its 2013-14 fiscal year, the Lake City VA Medical Center saw approximately 40,000 veterans enrolled in its health care programs. Built on the original site of the Florida Agricultural College, the medical center is one of two facilities in the North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System. The federal government bought the buildings in 1920. After extensive renovations, VA doctors saw their first patient on Dec. 6. It was named the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital No. 63. The Veterans Bureau was created to care for returning World War I veterans in 1921, and the

transition from Public Health to the Veterans Bureau Hospital began. The transition finished in 1924 when the Lake City VA Hospital started its proud tradition of caring for the nation’s veterans. The Lake City VA Hospital became the Lake City VA Medical Center in 1978. With the completion of a 120-bed Nurising Home

Care Unit, the medical center’s mission expanded to include longterm and geriatric care for veterans in 1985. Ten years later, it expanded to 240 beds. A 12,600 squarefoot addition as completed in March 2000 on top of the existing Outpatient Clinic. The new space houses two primary care teams with 16 exam rooms.

The Lake Shore Hospital Authority, an independent special purpose government originally established to build and operate Lake Shore, entered into a care agreement with the hospital to take care of Columbia County residents’ emergencies under a lease arrangement. The authority is obligated to

levy a 1.5-mil tax, which is devoted to indigent care at the hospital and to support an indigent clinic as part of the agreement. In addition to overseeing the unmet health care needs of Columbia County, the Lake Shore Authority Board has contracts with local physicians for primary care and local pharmacies.

Grace

H A R R Y Lake City’s model teenager

By Todd Wilson Photographs by Bill Potts Photography

race Harry modeled for the first time at 9 years old. In a bridal show, she wore a flower girl’s dress, smiled, made her way down the runway, spun, and finished the show. That was it. One and done. She tried it and did not like it. “I was a tomboy then,” she says

36 | 2015 Columbia County Information Guide

now. “I was all dirt and mud and didn’t want to have anything to do with dressing up and modeling.” Over the next several years, Grace, this year’s Guide to Lake City cover model, was more comfortable wearing boots, jeans and T-shirts. She hunts, fishes and spends time outdoors with her family. She would always pick the mud bogs over modeling in Milan. Then she turned 16 and her outlook on modeling changed. “I just walked back into the Golden Needle in Lake City and asked about getting back into it,” Grace, now 17, recalls. “That was pretty much the start of it. They wouldn’t let me leave without promising I would model for them.” In preparing for that show, she worked with Erica Cook of the Golden Needle on selecting the proper attire, Alissa Novak of Lake City on her hair and makeup and Bill Potts Photography on the runway pose. “Bill Potts really helped me,” Grace says. “He showed me how to

pose and he helped me to loosen up while I was modeling. I was very nervous at first. Erica and Alissa really encouraged me along the way, too. They all made me feel confident and confidence is the No. 1 thing that makes you beautiful.” She modeled Golden Needle’s prom and wedding gowns and really enjoyed it. “That show really gave me a new confidence and I wanted to see how far I could go with it,” Grace says. “It was a lot of fun.” Using Bill Potts Photography to create a prospective model’s portfolio, Grace and her family began the quest of locating an agency to manage her new ambition. They sent in the photos, set up appointments and talked with several notable modeling agencies. She signed a worldwide contract with renowned NEXT Model Management in May. NEXT has clients worldwide and offices in Miami, New York, Los Angeles, London, Milan and Paris. After signing with NEXT, her runway name was adjusted to “Grace ElizContinued on page 38

abeth.” One of her first jobs was a Bealls back-to-school television ad shot during a 10-hour day at Miami’s Crandon Park. When it hit the airwaves in August, Grace says she was stunned to see herself in the commercial. “We recorded it, fast forwarded through the programs so we could watch the commercial,” Grace

38 | 2015 Columbia County Information Guide

says, laughing. “I couldn’t believe it. We paused it and I got by the TV and took selfies with myself on the screen. I’m not even going to lie. It was pretty exciting.” Grace says modeling on set is a very high-energy experience. “I feel like a Barbie doll,” she says. “You just show up. There are people doing your hair, your makeup, bringing you food. I’m still not used to it.” “She never really liked the spotlight, but now here she is in it,” says her mom, Toni. “I think she’s doing really well handling it. Some of this is pretty high pressure.” The agency flew Grace and her mom to Medellin, Colombia, for several days to do a shoot for a South American jeans and sportswear company. She modeled jeans, tank tops, jackets and jewelry for print and video advertising campaigns. “My goal is to be on every billboard. I want to make it big, be a supermodel,” Grace says. “I want to be the small town girl who makes it big.” In Fort Myers earlier this year, Grace modeled for House of Wu, the designs of Christina Wu, which included prom and wedding attire. At Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Miami, she did a runway show modeling Wildfox Swimwear. She worked a separate trade show in Miami later and modeled swimwear for InGear. She also did a swimwear shoot on Miami Beach for an editorial piece that will be published in Cosmopolitan Australia in November. She also will appear in a swimwear layout in Miami Beach’s Ocean Drive magazine in the November issue. “I’ve learned the photographers can make you look great,” she says. “In a couple of the beach shoots, I’m lying on my back, straining, the surf is running over me, I’m in an awkward position and I’m about to fall out and the photographer is telling me to arch

my back, do this, do that, hold it. … I’m thinking that no way will these work and then I see the shots and they are amazing.” On the most recent trip, Grace and her mom flew to Los Angeles for a Guess shoot in Beverly Hills. She modeled jeans, swimsuits, dresses and shoes for Guess. “These were big hair shoots,” Grace says. “I don’t look like myself in most of these. I think they look great, but it’s a different look. These makeup artists can make you look like whatever they want.” So the Lake City girl who loves the country life of Columbia County, the mud bog truck events, camping, hunting and fishing sees her image in demand worldwide. She’s headed to New York for two weeks in November for high-profile shoots for portfolio development. Then she’s off to Europe in the spring for fashion work. “God has everything lined up for me,” Grace says. “Everything falls into place. We pray and we thank Him a lot. God works miracles. Going to these places, that’s really exciting and I like it, but I really like the small-town life here in Lake City. You can call your neighbors here and they will be there for you. I plan to live here at least a couple more years. These are my people. I don’t feel the need to change. I don’t like to showboat my career, don’t like to talk about it. If my friends ask me questions about it, I’ll discuss it with them, but I don’t bring it up.”

Grace Harry, a Columbia High School senior, is the 17-year-old daughter of Toni and Arnold Cabe of Lake City and Ed Harry of Live Oak. She has lived her entire life in Lake City where she attended public school until this year, when her travel schedule dictated that she switch to Florida Virtual School under the CHS course curriculum. She is a member of the CHS volleyball team and will graduate from CHS in May.

Museum Lake City-Columbia County Historical

The Lake City-Columbia County Historical Museum offers a glimpse into what life in Lake City used to be like before home phones existed and even before most homes had running water, back in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The museum showcases war memorabilia along with other artifacts from that era. The museum is located at 157 SE Hernando Ave. in an Italianate style home, which, though not ornate, presents characteristics that are both utilitarian and attractive. Records indicate that the single story, rear portion of the building existed before the Civil War and

50 | 2015 Columbia County Information Guide

that the front, two-story section was built around 1880 after Mr. and Mrs. John Vinzant Jr. purchased the property. The building retains the character of a Victorian residence both outside and in. Renovations have been made with every effort to preserve the unique qualities of the vintage structure. The floor plan of the home is essentially a “four square” with the four main rooms downstairs being duplicated upstairs. The Blue-Grey room is maintained in appreciation of the tireless efforts of the Blue-Grey Army to keep the Museum in operation since its acquisition in the early 1980’s. The Civil War room houses all type of artifacts from the War Between the States, including pictures, diaries, war memorabilia, logs, firearms, swords and books. The patriot room adjoins the Civil War collections. Opened in 2009, the patriot room honors all military personnel from every conflict or war where the American way has been defended. Although still a work in progress, the room already contains quite a collection

of items, pictures and documents from most all major wars. The rear portion of the building is the kitchen, which contains miscellaneous items from various eras such as a wood-burning stove. It’s believed the kitchen was added in the late 1800s or early 1900s. Of the four rooms upstairs that were once bedrooms, only one is still decorated as a bedroom. That room is maintained and furnished in Eastlake, a common style for the era. Another one of the rooms is

the Native American room, which presents a colorful glimpse into the life, tools and clothing of various Florida and North American tribes. A model of a Creek village, with Ceremonial Square and other buildings is a prominent feature. The third room is the Children’s room, which is currently getting worked on. The goal is for it to be a hands-on exhibit of kids’ activities from the past century and beyond. Additionally, a scenic timeline of Florida history will be in the room. The last room is used as the store room, housing surplus inventory and collections that are not displayed. The museum is open to the public Thursdays and Saturdays from 10a.m.-1p.m. Guided tours are also available by appointment. For more information, call 386755-9096.

Olustee

Battle Re-enactment

The Battle of Olustee was fought more than 150 years ago when on Feb. 20, 1864, Union and Confederate troops clashed in the only major Civil War battle fought on Florida soil. Nearly four decades have passed with local re-enactors, Battle of Olustee descendants and living historians paying homage to a combined total of 2,807 troops from both sides that lay on the battlefield either dead or wounded following five hours of gunfire, cannon shots and strategic troop movements. A total of 1,861 Union troops were injured or killed in the battle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 203 killed, 1,152 wounded and 506 missing. The Union troops lost five cannons, 1,600 rifles, 400 sets of accouterments and 130,000 rounds of ammunition. Confederate losses were 93 killed,

847 wounded and six missing, totaling 946 troops. The battle, which marked a Confederate victory, signaled the end of Union efforts to restore Florida to the Union. In 1978 a group of Columbia County residents decided to honor the troops by staging a battle re-enactment and the Olustee Battle Re-Enactment has been held for 39 years. The first two re-enactments took place at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville. The following 37 events have taken place at the Florida Department of Environmental Protectionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park in Baker County. The Olustee Battle Festival was added two years after the original Olustee Battle Re-Enactment in the Gator Bowl. The Blue-Grey Army, the festival organizer, hosts the Continued on page 56

battle festival annually in downtown Lake City. The Olustee Battle Festival is Columbia County’s largest festival. The 2015 re-enactment activities will take place Feb. 13 - 15 at the historic battlefield with a 3:30 p.m. battle demonstration on Saturday, Feb. 14 and the Olustee Battle Re-enactment slated to begin 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 15. This year’s event marks the 151st Anniversary of the Battle of Olustee.

Fishing

Fishing is a traditional pastime in Columbia County, often called the “Fresh Water Recreation Capital of America” with more than 1,313 acres of fishing including lakes, rivers and ponds found in every direction from Lake City. Most public water access points are less than 20 minutes away from Lake City’s downtown area. Some of the more notorious waterways in the Lake City area are Alligator Lake, Lake Montgomery, Lake DeSoto, Watertown Lake, Lake Jeffrey and the Santa Fe and Suwannee rivers. Alligator Lake Halpatter Park (Alligator Lake North) Boat ramp is on Clements 58 | 2015 Columbia County Information Guide

Street behind the FDOT office on U.S. Highway 441 south. The Alligator Lake south boat ramp is off Marion Avenue on the street next to the Columbia High School soccer fields. There are fishing piers on both ends of the lake, which has no boating horsepower restrictions. The lake is 989 acres, including marshes. Alligator Lake is unique because periodically, a sinkhole in the northern basin becomes active and drains the lake, exposing the mud to drying and stimulating for wading birds and a productive nursery for sport fish when flooded. The establishment of the Small Game Hunting area will allow public duck hunting in the marsh areas.

Lake Montgomery The lake is located off Baya Avenue across from the Columbia Aquatic Complex. There is a dock to fish from and boats with gas motors can be used, but only at idle speed. The lake is 36 acres. Lake DeSoto The lake is located in downtown Lake City behind the Columbia County Courthouse. Circle Drive winds around the lake. Most of the lake is fishable from the banks, but no motorboats are allowed. The lake is 26 acres. Watertown Lake The lake is located off State Road 10 at the end of Northeast Williams Street. The lake offers

public fishing from a pier or from the banks. Gas-powered motorboats are allowed on the lake, however there is an idle speed only restriction the lake before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m. each day. The lake is 46 acres. Lake Jeffery The lake is located west of Lake City off Lake Jeffery Road. Lake Jeffery was created by merging of two lakes through a short canal. Public access to the lake is limited to one public boat ramp in the Woodborough subdivision. There is a boat launch fee. The lake is 216 acres. Santa Fe and Suwannee Rivers The Suwannee River rises in the Okefenokee Swamp forming the border between Hamilton and Columbia counties as it enters Florida. It then turns west near White Springs and bends south near Ellaville. The Suwannee and Santa Fe rivers join just below Branford in Suwannee County. The Santa Fe

River and Ichetucknee River are tributaries of the Suwannee River, which continues to the Gulf of Mexico near the town of Suwannee. The river is 266 miles long. There are approximately 100 boat ramps to the rivers in nine counties. Lang Lake Lang Lake is a 86-acre reclaimed phosphate lake in Hamilton County off U.S. Highway 41. The lake is owned by Potash Corp. White Springs and made available for public fishing by agreement with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The lake has water of average fertility and good fish growth potential. The contoured sloping banks have a shelf-like edge with desirable emergent vegetation, particularly cattails in many areas and planted cypress trees. Intermittent submerged hydrilla is a good refuge area for young fish. Two solar in-lake water circulation devices have been placed to help

Gate will be locked. Eagle Lake Eagle Lake is a 200-acre non-reclaimed phosphate lake also owned by Potash Corp. White Springs located in Hamilton County off County Road 137. The steep shorelines grow less vegetation than Lang Lake. The lake has very dense growth of microscopic plankton in the form of green algae. Shad are abundant forage and provide food for largemouth and sunshine bass and black crappie. Electric motors only can be used. Three public boat ramps offer access to Eagle Lake. Access is prohibited from 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise. Gate will be locked.

City Hall, Lake City

Local Government COLUMBIA COUNTY Columbia County is one of the oldest counties in Florida. In 1817, Don Jose de la Maza Arrendondo obtained a grant of 20,000 acres in northern Florida, which included what became Columbia County. Part of the Arrendondo Grant consisted of an abandoned Indian settlement called Alligator. Alligator had been established by a tribe of Seminole Indians on the banks of Lake DeSoto in the early 1800s, deriving its name from the nickname of the tribal chief, Halpatter Tustenuggee. Columbia County, founded Feb. 4, 1832, originally consisted of all or parts of present-day Suwannee, Bradford, and Union counties. Roberts, a small settlement around the home of John W. Roberts, was named the first county seat. Alligator became the official capital of the county in 1836. 60 | 2015 Columbia County Information Guide

Columbia County was . The county is nestled between two major interstates that provide a consistent traffic flow to all points in Florida.

LAKE CITY Lake City was incorporated in 1859, and known as “Alligator Town.” It was named after Native American Indian Chief Halpatter Tustenuggee, head of an area village in the early 1800s. The first white settlers of what was to become Lake City arrived in the early 1820s. Among them were John D. and James Osteen, who constructed a house about two miles east of Alligator Lake around 1824. Today Lake City has a population estimated of 12,185. A five-member city council governs the city. Four members represent different districts of Lake City. The fifth member is the mayor, who is elected as an “at-large” council member by the entire city. Council members and the mayor are elected to four-year terms. The mayor and each council member has one voted when deciding legislative matters and other issues.

rated in 1884 under Mayor Thomas H. Reddick. The town’s population grew to about 2,000 people in 1900 when the town’s economy was based on timber, cotton and phosphate. A rail line ran through the town attracting additional people to the area. Fort White’s population steadily declined through the years with the advent of modern technology and less dependence on agriculture and the railroad. Today, Fort White has an estimated population of about 580 people. Summer is the busy season for the

town, especially during the weekends as thousands of tourists come to the area to tube down the pristine Ichetucknee river at the Ichetucknee Springs State Park. A five-member town council governs the Town of Fort White. The mayor is elected at large and council members are voted to staggered four-year terms. The Fort White Town Council meets 7:30 p.m. the second Monday of each month at town hall, 118 SW Wilson Springs Road, Fort White.

Economic Development

U.S. Cold Storage

Columbia County’s industrial growth continues at a steady pace as the county’s location at the intersection of Interstates 75 and 10 make it fertile ground for the warehousing, logistic and shipping industries. Lake City is the central hub of this activity. Economic development and industrial recruitment is handled by the Columbia County Economic Development Department. Glenn Hunter is the executive director. Lake City and Columbia County have landed several logistics-centered industries, including a Target distribution center and a U.S. Cold Storage facility. The U.S. Cold Storage facility recently completed a $15 million expansion project where more than 100,000 square feet of space was added to the facility, creating 15 additional jobs. The county has positioned itself for the development and expansion of logistical industrial operations. Columbia High School has a program that introduces students to the concept of computer assisted warehousing, cargo sorting and logistics. Plum Creek, the largest private landowner in the state, owns property in Columbia County and has a site designated to serve as a 62 | 2015 Columbia County Information Guide

The North Florida Intermodal Park will be a facility where sorting warehouses are constructed, freight is shipped in large quantities, then sorted and repacked for shipping in smaller quantities.

Golfers’ gem

Columbia County is home to two 18-hole golf courses and neighbor to 9-hole courses in nearby Suwannee and Hamilton counties. Quail Heights Country Club underwent a dramatic change two years ago, closing 9 holes in order to reduce expenses and allow for the closed commercial-zone tracts to be placed on the market. The course underwent several improvements, including improved “up-to-par” greens and new sand for bunkers. Quail Heights general manager Chet Carter is familiar to area golfers.

By RITA DOPP United Way of Suwannee Valley In the beautiful Suwannee Valley region of North Florida, various human service needs have been identified by groups of caring individuals. Human service agencies were developed to address the variety of needs identified. As a result youth in the community enjoy safe, supervised after-school programming where they enhance their academic skills, develop positive relationships, and â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of course â&#x20AC;&#x201C; expend youthful energy. Citizens with disabilities participate in adult day training and receive in-home supports, residential services, and employment opportunities. Children who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected and involved in court are provided advocates to look out for their best 92 | 2015 Columbia County Information Guide

interests to ensure safe, caring, and permanent environments. Seniors receive help in maintaining their independence through assistance with housekeeping, bathing, emergency alert, and home delivered meals. Young people develop character and learn citizenship, fitness, and leadership. Children receive an academic boost through early learning opportunities with well-rounded programs including

parent engagement. Families with teens are strengthened through counseling, education, and prevention activities as well as through temporary shelter, time out and counseling for troubled youth. Children are protected from the risk of abuse, neglect or abandonment as families are strengthened and stabilized. Low-income residents receive legal assistance with consumer, employ-

ment, family, housing and other issues. Survivors of domestic violence secure shelter, counseling, advocacy, and support. Families in need of basic life necessities, including food, prescriptions, and utility assistance, receive help. Service providers come together in an effort to enhance funding resources and provide a community coordinated case management response to families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. At-risk households affected by disaster receive case management and long-term recovery assistance. And community members access a wealth of information and referral sources. The Suwannee Valley region is not only a wonderful place to live because of the beautiful natural resources, the cool springs and many lakes, the huge oak trees draped with Spanish moss, and open spaces that yield fields for crops and grazing farm animals. The Suwannee Valley region is a wonderful place to live because it is populated with many caring individuals and good corporate citizens who contribute daily to advancing the common good. This is the mission of United Way of Suwannee Valley, “to advance the common good through community impact initiatives and agency support.” Our United Way truly unites efforts to direct them for the greatest good for our community’s residents. Throughout our local United Way’s 2014-2015 fundraising campaign, the affiliated agencies and committee volunteers will showcase how United Way of Suwannee Valley creates happy endings for our community residents whose lives have been impacted. View happy endings on the United Way of Suwannee Valley campaign video produced by Florida Gateway College and sponsored by TD Bank. Local families share their happy endings at the video posted

on the website, www.unitedwaysuwanneevalley.org. We all have a part in this. Giving. Advocating. Volunteering. Living United to change the story for children and families, offering support to them to help them achieve their goals and dreams. Every dollar, every volunteer makes a difference in the story of how we build a brighter, stronger community, together, to create happy endings. United Way of Suwannee Valley is a community impact and fundraising organization which, utilizing volunteers on all levels, advances the common good by identifying unmet community needs and seeking to alleviate those needs through United Way of Suwannee Valley initiatives and the funding of 22 affiliated health and human service agencies. When we reach out a hand to one we influence the condition of all. Be a part of the LIVE UNITED move-

ment. Find your place. Contact your local United Way.
