Scott and Jane Gordon of Shell Point do not divide their love among their 10 children. They multiply it.

The Gordon children, all A-names, are: Alex, 25; Andrew, 23; Ashley, 23; Abigail, 21; Austin, 21; Allison, 19; Andreia, 15; Avari, 8; Autumn, 8; and Amaya, 5. The family of 12 also includes three dogs, two cats, a

guinea pig and a fish.

In 1987, when the Gordons discovered they could not have biological children, Jane Gordon said she was praying one night, “Lord, please give us children.”

She heard a profound response: “Do you want to be pregnant, or do you want a family?”

They realized it did not matter how the children came into the world.

“Some women need to be pregnant,” Gordon

said. “But we knew right away it wasn’t important to us. I think each one of these kids were created to be in our family. Biology, blood, DNA – none of that matters. They are perfectly our children, and we believe that with all our hearts, and we want them to under stand that.”

Alex was part of the Gordon family before he was even born.

“The first birth mom to look at our file chose us, which is pretty amaz-

ing, because adoption can be hard,” Gordon said. “She chose to make a better life for Alex. We admire all of our birth parents. They are very brave, to choose to give them life. And then they were brave enough to choose a better future.”

The Gordons waited for the call assured to them on Alex’s birthday, but days passed with no phone call. They worried that Alex’s birth mom had changed her mind.

WHS filmmakers work with Wounded Warriors program

By MARC BOWERMAN WHS Advisor

On a war m, calm and quiet early Tuesday morning on the gulf off the coast of St. Marks, Florida, a fisher man baits his hook and grabs a seat on the deck of the boat. He strips off a camouflage hoodie and removes a prosthetic leg that allows him freedom on land but limits his comfort on the rolling water. There will be no thoughts of past and future troubles to invade these next several hours. U.S. Army Sergeant Kristian Cedeno has no worries.

T h e Wa r r i o r s a n d Quiet Waters project was begun in Bozeman, Mont., several years ago.

Former war veterans and local first responders then adapted the program idea, recruited caring volunteers, and started a chapter in the

With a bill for the incorporation of Panacea making its way to the state house for the third time, some residents are concerned that the extra taxes attached to the bill will hurt more than help.

Ronald Fred Crum, a business owner and engaged citizen in Panacea who has pushed for incorporation in the past, said he will fight to kill the bill if it puts more of a burden on his neighbors.

A neutral resolution was requested from the county commissioners for the incorporation of the City of Panacea at the Board of County Commissioners meeting on Dec. 8. At the meeting, County Administrator David Edwards said the county will still collect 7 percent Public Service Tax (PST), and the City of Panacea would collect an extra 3 percent, for a total of 10 percent PST. “Also, there is a three mill ad valorem that would Panacea resident have to be charged Ronald Fred Crum as well,” Edwards said, and confirmed that the details will be spelled out for Panacea residents before they vote.

Crum cited a statute in Florida law about city incorporation, which says newly formed municipalities shall not be required to pay any charge, assessment, tax, fee as a condition to allow citizens to incorporate. He said the extra 3 percent PST, and the 3 mills, are a violation of the statute.

“The only tax increase I’m in agreement of, is $5 per resident, and about $10 franchise fee per business, monthly,” Crum said. “For us to pay additional large sum of money on the backs of people – I’m not in support of it.”

Edwards said the county is not putting a condition on Panacea residents for the incorporation.

“The county has negotiated with the incorporation committee a payment system whereas the county will continue services as it provides today for the citizens of Panacea,” Edwards said. “The 3 percent PST and 3 mills are valid means as to which a municipality can fund themselves.”

Crum said he does not want the people of Panacea to pay more taxes than residents of incorporated communities like Sopchoppy and St. Marks.

Edwards explained that Sopchoppy levies 10 percent PST and Communications Services Tax (CST), and no ad valorem. St. Marks levies 5.12 mills and 10 percent PST and CST. “It is important to note that both cities have charged the PST and CST taxes for 20-plus years, while the county began charging PST and CST in 2011,” Edwards said. “The county lowered the ad valorem tax to offset the charging of the PST and CST.” Crum said the bill’s purpose is for Panacea’s self-ruled local government is to create jobs and opportunity, and stop the “downward spiral” of property values. He said ideally, the elected officials would not be paid more than $1, and not be offered retirement benefits.

Love, multiplied From Front Page “That was understandable,� Gordon said. “We were very discouraged.

We had bonded with him too – it was an emotional bond – a labor of sort.�

After five days, the Gordons were relieved to learn that the birth mother would give Alex to his forever family. “God had us in mind for his parents,� Gordon said. “It was tough for her. These kids are loved by a lot of people. They are not rejected, they are not abandoned.�

The family moved to California with Scott’s job in the U.S. Coast Guard, and started praying again about adopting another child. They applied for adoptions through the state, and were called almost immediately, because a baby named Andrew needed a home during his foster-to-adopt process. Andrew’s parents both suffered from mental illness, Gordon said.

After baby Andrew came home, he ended up staying for good. The Gordons then heard back about a previous adoption application through a pregnancy center. A pregnant woman had selected the Gordon family to be parents to a daughter, Ashley. Jane was involved in the birth preparation and delivery. “It was amazing,â€? Gordon said. “We thought we were doing pretty well, with three children running around, living in California. Then I got a phone call one day‌â€?

The state had called back with news that Andrew’s biological, 4-dayold sister needed a home too. “She had no name, and no place to go,� Gordon said. The family scooped Abigail up at the foster family’s house, and she came home to be a Gordon too. “So that made four,� Gordon said. “We thought we were done. But it became a joke in our family – the ‘one more’ thing.�

The Gordons were set to go to Siberia for three more children, when the program closed. “Lord, I know you want us to adopt kids,� Gordon said she prayed. “That’s your whole heart is to take in the orphans and the widows. We want to do it, we’re able to do it, but the store is closed. What do you want us to do?�

The Gordon’s next search took them from the frozen tundra of Siberia, to the tropics of Brazil.

Gordon said it was late at night when she sent the initial email, but got a response within minutes, saying there were three kids available for

Amaya and Andrew play with the family guinea pig. homes right away. “Three?� Gordon asked. “Scott’s not going to go for that. I’m the gas, he’s the brakes.�

The three children were not babies, but 3,6 and 9 years old. “I got the packet, and fell immediately in love with them,� Gordon said. “I thought, these are our kids.�

Scott agreed, “These are our kids,� when looking at the packet and photos of beautiful Austin, Allison and Andreia.

Adoption in Brazil was a unique process of cohabitation at a retreat center, to bond before going home.

When they finally met, Gordon said 3-year-old Andreia held out her arms and shouted, “MamĂŁe! MamĂŁe!â€? – Portuguese for mama.

Arriving at airport in Texas, Austin was beside himself with pride upon seeing his name with a star on the map – the capital city. “MamĂŁe, they are welcoming me to America!â€?

Gordon said things were going well with a full house, and they did not consider adopting more. “Seven kids, and enough A-names,�

Gordon said. “Then God gave us this house, and it’s so beautiful, on the ocean, and we said, ‘Lord, we don’t want to be hedonists and just sit here an enjoy retirement, we’re older, what should we do with this beautiful home and all this room?�

Scott said maybe they could adopt just one more. “And you know what happened,�

Gordon said. “Poor guy, with the ‘one more.’�

Enter twins Avari and Autumn Joy, and little Amaya. “Three little Mexican-American girls in Ohio,� Gordon said. “And they were the cutest things you ever saw.

We fell in love with them. But I didn’t think there was any hope. We already

had seven kids, and we were older.�

Readers might see where the story is going. Avari, Autumn and Amaya came south to live with their forever family in Wakulla County. On the plane ride, the captain used the loud speaker to announce the three girls would be coming home with their forever family.

Scott said while there are many ups and downs in the rollercoaster adoption processes, “Every (adoption experience) is a little miracle that God left his thumbprint on.�

Scott compared the adoption process to giving birth. “You don’t through the physical birth pangs, but you go through all the emotional pangs,� Scott said. “It’s magnified when the adoption is on, then off. It’s on. It’s off.�

The Gordons have spent the last 25 years in and out of courtrooms to finalize adoption proceedings. Scott said judges seem to enjoy that part of their jobs. The Gordons said when they adopted the twins, the girls sang the “I love you lullaby� to the judge. “The lawyer was crying,� Gordon said.

Andreia said it has been fun, growing up with nine brothers and sisters. “It’s like a bunch of friends always with you,� Andreia said. “I mean, there are times we didn’t get along, but that brings you together, and makes us who we are today. It’s better than being an only child.�

Alex is married, and is a business owner. Andrew is working on a masonry apprenticeship, and has goals of studying automotive technology as well. Ashley lives with her husband in Washington state, and works in hospitality management. Abigail is majoring in elementary education, and also teaches and does cleaning jobs to support herself. Austin is an artist and drummer, works in publishing,

and is majoring in art at college. Allison is a talented pianist and musician, majoring in music, and works as an accompanist and in church music ministry. Andreia is home schooled, and plays guitar. The twins attend school in Wakulla County, and practice music. Amaya is home schooled, and full of personality.

The Gordons said financially, having 10 children is a balancing act.

There is not only a cost to raising children, but also sending them to college, and helping pay for weddings down the road. The joy of a big family comes with sacrifices. “Do you want to go on a second honeymoon, or do you want to adopt a kid?� Scott joked.

But whatever financial strain was incurred along the way, the gift of family is priceless. Austin said it is a blessing to grow up with five brothers and sisters. “You never get bored,� he said. “You always have somebody to hang out with. We’ve moved all over the place, so my friends are my brothers and sisters.�

As for the A-names trend, the older children were given a choice to keep their birth names or to switch to an A-name. “They all wanted A-names, because that made them Gordons,� Gordon said.

Recently a neighbor asked, “Aren’t you the family with 12 kids?� “No,� Scott said. “Only 10.�

Gordon said once you adopt children, life is never the same. “It’s not perfect. It’s not easy.

But the rewards are better than the challenges. It’s worth it,� Gordon said, with tears in her eyes. “They’re funny, they’re fun, they’re such different people, they’re amazing people.

It’s such a blessing to have all these children.�

Crum on Panacea Students make video From Front Page

He said the only paid government employee needed would be a secretary.

Crum said if the incorporation does go forward, and the result is not positive, the incorporation can be reversed.

“We are not going to incur debt,” Crum said.

“If we don’t achieve our goals, we can dissolve it. But this is an opportunity to save ourselves.

We’re water people. We know what we’re doing for a coastal economy.

We only want to do within the laws of this state.”

Crum said the bestcase scenario would be, “For Wakulla County to give us an opportunity to use 7 percent PST for our government, with the other monies we will get back from the state (once incorporated). We can raise the rest of it through events. The county wins, because we will stabilize ad valorem tax. Together we will save both entities – the county, and Panacea. But not on the backs of the poor people.”

From Front Page

asked Wakulla High School’s Television Production and Guerrilla Filmmakers for assistance. Without hesitation, the student filmmakers jumped at the opportunity.

For six days several young, dedicated high school students took the time and effort to create a video that allowed the country and potentially the world to see what a valuable asset an organization like WQWSC is to our heroic war veterans.

Apparently, these stu-

dents succeeded. Local founder Stephens commented after viewing the finished work, “Awesome, just awesome.”

Instructor and advisor to the WHS program Marc Bowerman offered, “I’m so very proud of the effort and their quality of work. I’ve worked with professionals who haven’t achieved this standard. Zach Hunter, Jay Fell and Coy White are why a teacher teaches.”

The video will be online soon and accessible through www.fishingwithwarriors.net.

Busybodies never rest Editor, the News:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from The Wakulla News.

Embrace Wakulla’s multi-lingual history Editor, H e l l o Wa k u l l a ! I lear ned the French language many years ago. Even after seven years of instruction, the culture intimidated me when I had to speak.

I learned a few words of Chinese. By then I was older and no longer afraid that people would laugh at me for a grammatical faux-pas (a French expression).

I learned that saying Hello in any language gets you by. A “Ni How” here or “Gruezi” there, along with a smile brought forth more smiles. Then I learned to greet people in Arabic. “Merhaba” to all and more smiles.

I learned about American history and many smiles disappeared. I turned to the country’s culture: music, poetry, dance and

paintings. The smiles returned.

I lear ned that an entire African American way of expressions here in Wakulla County sounded so foreign to white people that the government began an intensive English language program in 1955 for black students who had attended their segregated schools.

I learned to ask myself why it would not be a sense of pride that there was a dialect spoken in Wakulla that is probably extinct at this point.

I learned that along with knowing how to speak another language comes a sense of pride along with a sense of shame. I learned that people do make fun of others who express themselves with unfamiliar sounds. I grew up in Switzerland where

dialects and languages provide constant flareups about whose language is better or more proper.

Then I learned that human beings need to shed their protective skin and really look at people’s faces when they try to communicate. Eyes convey so much when people talk in a language unfamiliar to our ears.

Hello Wakulla! We need to look at each other and embrace our long local multi-lingual history: Muscogean languages, Spanish, Creole, African Indian, Gallic, English, French, Asian, Ger man and quite possibly Arabic and Hebrew.

H a p p y N e w Ye a r Wakulla!

I take exception to many of the “truths” Mr. Bensley claims in his letter in the Nov. 20 edition of The Wakulla News regarding Talquin Electric’s opposition to the recent EPA standards for reducing carbon pollution from our existing power plants (“Talquin is against proposed EPA rule,” Opinion Page, letter by T racy Bensely, Talquin general manager).

I have studied these standards from a consumer’s perspective and as a public activist for a Clean Power Plan for Florida. I have a long association with Wakulla County via family and friends as well as business interests. I am concerned that Wakulla County gets another view of these proposed standards. Not just one that spouts the industry viewpoint that effectively says “ just leave us alone, we’re doing OK, or as good as can be done.” Wakulla and other counties served by TEC deserve better. Our community’s future depends on a better understanding.

My comments in this rebuttal

follow the “truths” as Mr Bensley lays them out. The standards are not without need for adjustment.

However, there is none of the limits, extreme deadlines or requirements suggested by Mr. Bensley. His assertions are not based on a careful reading of the proposed standards or the intent behind the need to reduce harmful carbon pollution.

It should be noted these standards for the first time declare carbon dioxide to be a pollutant that affects personal health and the environment, and needs to be reduced. Its impact as a greenhouse gases is also a major concern.

I hope you will consider publishing the rebuttal in its entirety to provide your readers more information about the alleged “truths” the power industry wants its customers to believe.

Thank you and your team for the service you provide to all of us interested in the future of Wakulla County.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

– C.S. Lewis.

The busybody continues to thrive, even here in Wakulla County. Honestly, we all have busybody tendencies. We care about our fellow citizens. We care about our communities. We care about our health. We care about all manner of things. All this is good and healthy unless we begin to thrust our values and wishes on others.

Many politicians claim to want smaller, less intrusive government and then find it is almost impossible to reduce the size of government when they are in power. After all, who receives accolades and awards for doing nothing?

Who is respected for making their jobs simpler (and easier)? Politicians are rewarded by passing rules and regulations and orders and ordinances, all intended to improve our lives.

Virtually all these directives begin with a local busybody who wants to make your life better. The problem is, these rules, regulations, and statutes are, or may be, enforced by the power of law. If a person does not want to live in accordance with the law as written by someone else, they will suffer from some enforcement group and lose their liberty (jail) or property (fines or property loss).

The Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners is considering a new ordinance regulating the number of used tires a person can have on their property. Eight is OK, nine is not allowed. This issue was brought to the BOCC by the Code Enforcement Board (non-elected) and Keep Wakulla Beautiful (non-elected). Both organizations do good work and are to be commended.

However, both organizations want to tell their neighbors how to live (for their own good and the good of their fellow citizens).

Why pass this new ordinance? According to the draft ordinance, the following are the main reasons (www. mywakulla.com/December_8_2014_ Final_Agenda.pdf, Page 75). None pass the logic test.

1. Toxic Chemical and other harmful substances can leach into soils.

However, the board agreed to exempt old tires used for decorative purposes (they don’t leach?). We even use old ground up tires in playgrounds (visit the playground on the St Marks Rail Trail). This must not be the real reason.

2. Waste tire present a fire hazard and when burned are hard to put out and the smoke is toxic. This is true. So why allow any used tires? Why are as many tires as you want allowed in a shed? This must be just an excuse for the ordinance.

3. Waste tires can collect water and breed mosquitoes, rodents, and other pests. However, we prohibit anyone from filling a wetland which, by definition, collects water, breeds mosquitoes, and is home to rodents and other pests.

Is this inconsistent or what?

4. The presence of unenclosed waste tires represents a blight on the community. Oh, now I understand!

Busybodies don’t want to look at what you have on your private property and wants the authority of the government to force you to do what they cannot.

Busybodies think they have the best solution to problems and begins to lobby for the force of law to solve their problems. Few politicians can resist the lure of passing an ordinance that few would oppose despite the trampling of property rights of only a few free citizens. As Neal Boortz once observed, “A lot of people out there pay good lip service to the idea of personal freedom … right up to the point that someone tries to do something that they don’t personally approve of.”

Why are personal freedoms important? Rules and ordinances attempt to control people’s actions and outcomes without regard for personal freedoms.

However, unintended consequences happen, both positive and negative. The plague of rules tends to stymie freedom with no consideration of what might have happened without the rules.

Free people make better decisions for themselves than any other individual or group. Free people do better when dealing with themselves because others because cannot see the future.

Future inventors are not wanted in Wakulla County. As Thomas Edison said, “To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.”

I’m not an advocate of piles of junk (although I seldom throw things away).

However, I am an advocate of property rights. If I don’t want to live next to a future inventor, I will move to a subdivision with a homeowner’s association.

Bill Bonner said, “A man on his owns knows that he is best advised to leave his dumbbell neighbors alone. But let him join a political party (or government organization), and he fantasizes that he has the right and the power to tell everyone on the block what to do.”

I encourage our Board of County Commissioners resist the temptation of eroding personal freedoms – even the freedom to do things that “everyone” agrees are not good ideas.

CHAT has lost its way Editor, The News: My name is Lauren Casto and my mother Debbie Beard and I have been members and hard working volunteers for CHAT of Wakulla since I was 7 years old. For more than 10 YEARS, my mother and and I and many other members who care about the actual well being of the animals in this community have put in time and hard work for this organization.

We have spent countless weekends at Petco trying to find animals homes. We have used OUR out of pocket money to help supply the Shelter with what they needed to keep the animals safe and happy until they were adopted. We’ve spent OUR personal time doing countless fundraisers, dog washes, flea dips, you name it, to help our COMMUNITY and their pets.

There was a time when CHAT was about what it is supposed to be about, caring about the well being and humane treatment of animals.

Now it’s about a bunch of catty women who can never get along. What took place on Dec. 10 at the board meeting I feel was disrespectful, uncalled for, and childish. You are all adults, who are supposed to be a

part of this organization because you all have a common goal and interest.

We have spent years bending over backwards to help CHAT and reach that goal and now everyone including the “new members” are ready to throw that away because you can’t get over your selfish pride and work together.

I want to know: Where these women that are all of a sudden so interested in CHAT funds and where they’re going, where have they been?

I don’t recall seeing Anne Van Meter for the past couple of years at a single CHAT event, nor have I ever even heard of Suzanne Johnson.

So my real question is, why do you people get the control? You’ve put in no time or effort into the sole REASON for CHAT. The only thing that seems to be a common interest between these women is arguing about who gets to be boss. This is an 18-year-old asking all of you to please stop being so oblivious and narrow minded.

This organization isn’t about money. It’s about helping the helpless animals of WAKULLA County.

Nothing is too difficult for God

By SHERYL H. BOLDT

Is it possible?

The angel, Gabriel, just left.

I’m stunned – and overwhelmed by everything the angel told me. Did I understand correctly that I am to give birth to the Son of God? Me, a virgin?

And, did the angel actually say my cousin Elizabeth was in her sixth month of pregnancy? No way!

Not at her age.

Nonetheless, Gabriel was clear when he declared with such confidence, “For nothing will be impossible with God!” (Rewritten, based on Luke 1:26-37).

Pause and think about Gabriel’s declaration: Absolutely nothing is impossible with God. Nothing.

Has God spoken a dream or vision into your heart, but the reality of it happening seems impossible?

Perhaps you have felt God’s encouragement to start your own business, enter into the ministry, become an advocate for the mentally ill, volunteer at Habitat for Humanity, or maybe to write a book. Have you felt led to enter into politics (or run for student council)?

Or maybe God isn’t leading you to do something. Instead, maybe He wants you to believe He meant it when He said you can be redeemed from your past (for a chance at a new beginning).

“For nothing will be impossible with God.” (Luke 1:37

NASB). I love that verse!

I am asking God for a special gift: that we not give up on whatever He has whispered into our hearts. I will pray specifically that as we continue spending time with Him, He will give us clear direction.

What about you? Is your vision or dream too hard for God to bring forth? Is it as impossible as when a virgin gave birth to the Son of God – or when a woman, who was far beyond the age of childbearing, actually did conceive a child?

During this Christmas season, believe.

There is nothing too difficult for God! ?

Christmas temptations count?

By JAMES L. SNYDER

All my life I have been careful about succumbing to the temptations of life. I have not always been successful and have fallen into some. Oscar Wilde famously said, “I can resist anything except temptation.” We all know the end of his life.

Temptation is the hardest thing in life to resist. I have watched myself and in spite of watching myself, I have succumbed to temptation. Just when I think I have overcome everything and have stepped beyond temptation, I find myself tempted.

It is not being tempted that is difficult, because everybody is tempted.

The hymn writer said, “Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin.” So the temptation is not sin, it is how I react to that temptation.

I must say I have had some abundant help from the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage whose major role in life is to keep me from yielding. She has kept me from who knows how much yielding I will never know. I do know this, I do not want to yield to some temptation and then have to face her.

Enough said.

But this is the holiday season, celebrating Christmas and everything that goes with it. One major activity that goes with this kind of holiday is eating.

Now eating is something we do all the time; at least I do. It is not the eating; it is what I am eating that poses some problems. The Christmas holiday offers so many cookies and cakes and pies that I cannot eat them all, but I try. Oh boy, do I try.

“Don’t you think you have had enough cake?”

She always asked me in the middle of eating a piece of cake. If my mouth was not full with cake, I would like to tell her, “No,

I don’t think I have had enough cake and when I do I’m certainly not going to tell you.”

You all know where that will get me.

What I want to know is simply this; how much cake or cookie or pie is really too much? It is a simple question and I would like to have a simple answer.

Where I get into trouble is when my wife and I go to some Christmas party.

I feel as a responsible partygoer I need to taste all of the cake and cookies that the gracious host has provided for us. That’s just the way I think about it. I believe it would be insulting to go to a party and not eat all of the party vittles, at lease sample them.

My wife, as you may guess, has an altogether different view of it. She has this strange notion that when I go to a party, particularly when she is accompanying me, the less I eat the more I honor the hostess. According to her, I should leave a party hungry.

My idea is simply that if it is a holiday party with Christmas cakes and cookies the calories are on holiday and do not count. At least I am not counting them. I think at Christmas time bookkeeping should be put aside and the enjoyment of the season should be foremost.

If the host comes to me in the middle of a party and asks me how I liked her cake, I feel I have the responsibility to give a very educated critique of the cake. I owe it to her.

After all, she took the time to bake it and I should take the time to eat it and enjoy it and critique it.

Giving my honest opinion about the Christmas vittles is a very important part of who I am.

It is after the party that I encounter the greatest difficulty. That is, explaining to my wife why I ate so much cake and cookies

and pie.

She does not very much accept the, “I just do not want to be rude,” explanation.

This is one of the few places in life that we differ or I should say that I stand up and differ. I know that while I am at the party indulging in the delicacies all I will get is a poke in the rib and one of her “looks.” I can handle that. After all, Christmas delicacies are worth it.

It is when I get home that I have to deal with the Christmas temptations I yielded to at the party.

For several years and I plan to use it this year, I always respond by saying, “I’m going to make a New Year’s resolution not to eat cake anymore for the rest of the year.”

How I get away with this New Year’s resolution is that I make it two days before the end of the year.

And so, for the rest of the year, which includes two days, I will eat no cake or cookies or pie while the world stands.

Temptation is not a serious thing unless backed into a corner and forced to yield to that temptation.

The Bible Says, “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).

T emptations never count unless for some reason I yield to the temptation.

BEREAVEMENT COLUMN

When there’s an absence of Christmas joy due to loss heart was heavy, and she was near tears, as she asked me questions on behalf of this unfortunate family.

The loss of an infant is always a very difficult and sad experience. At this time of year, however, when all is joyous, the juxtaposition of grief creates a stark reality, which can very easily become quite complicated.

I attended a Christmas luncheon this week with a dear friend. The guest speaker gave a wonderful presentation on the gift of the Savior’s birth. Although this family is a religious family, hearing others say that their baby is with Jesus will bring them little comfort this holiday season.

Cheer fully wrapped baby gifts in bright-

By TRACY RENEE LEE The Christmas holidays are a wonderful time of year, rich with tradition and family gatherings. Loss, however, can quickly change Christmas in the hearts of those who suffer its sting, from merry and bright to dark and dreary.

Christmas losses are some of the most difficult from which to recover, however; to lose a child is particularly harrowing during this time of year.

I was at the theater today when my daughter called and asked me questions about infant caskets.

I asked her why she wanted the information, and she informed me that a family in her church had lost their infant today. Her

ly colored Christmas paper, will now remain unopened and eventually have to be returned. This experience is, and will continue to be, dreadful for this sweet couple.

Most likely, this young mother and father will suffer the depths of their sorrows every Christmas from this one forward.

My daughter has another friend who some years back, lost a child during the holidays. This family places their beloved child’s empty shoes just outside of his bedroom door each Christmas to mark their love for him and continued sorrow over his loss. Although this may seem a painful reminder to those of us who have not lost a child during the holiday season, it is actu-

sage to our hearts and lives. The community is welcome to join for worship of the new born King. Come experience advent (His coming) with us!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! The library staff would like to wish everyone and their family and friends all the joy and warmth of the holiday season. Here at the library we are so proud and grateful to have been able to serve our wonderful community and our magnificent patrons this year. We hope to see all of you back in the New Year!

KID’S CHOICE It is not too late!

Any of our community kiddos can come and choose two books from under the library Christmas tree to give as a gift for a friend or loved one. See the front desk for a free gift tag.

Book selection will vary and is made possible by the Friends of the Library.

HOLIDAY CLOSINGS The library will be closed from Dec. 25 through 29 for the Christmas holiday. We

ally an act of healing.

Creating new traditions to memorialize a signifi cant loss helps one create a place from which to honor their loved one and allows them to participate in holiday activities without trivializing their loss and heartache.

Friends will want to know what to say to this poor couple who lost their baby earlier today. They will want to know if it is still appropriate to wish them a Merry Christmas or give them gifts that have already been purchased. Some will worry about the effects of Christmas cards already in the mail or parties already planned.

The luncheon speaker said the greatest gift one can give another during

Educators, employees recognized for merit

By KAREN J. WELLS Chief Human Capital Officer

The Wakulla County Board of Education congratulates its Teachers of the Month: Wendy McGuire, Riversink Elementary Teacher; Tina Fleming, Wakulla Pre-K teacher; and Employees of the Month: Grace Delong, Transportation Department and Lee Peck, WMS Principal Secretary.

They were recognized at a recent school board meeting.

Superintendent Robert Pearce and the Wakulla County School Board applaud the professional optimistic demeanor and allegiance to the District as a whole each bring to work every day on behalf of the students, schools, the profession of education and local communities they serve.

Wendy McGuire, Riversink Elementary School first-grade teacher, is recognized as a December Teacher of the Month.

McGuire started teaching in Wakulla County at Shadeville 15 years ago and has been Wendy McGuire teaching at Riversink since 2008. McGuire transferred to Wakulla County after accumulating several years of teaching experience in Hendry, Orange and Leon Counties.

She said, “I moved to the area to attend FSU for graduate studies. I loved the Wakulla County area and heard incredible things about the school district. Mrs. Karen Wells gave me the opportunity to join an amazing team and I have been here ever since.”

Originally from New Jersey, McGuire graduated from Asbury University in Wilmore, Ky. She enjoys creating relationships and working with her colleagues and parents as a team. McGuire notes, “It is a true joy to work with the dedicated families and educators in our county.” She

bolsters relationships by taking opportunity to share positive and/or amusing stories with parents. “Sharing snippets into their child’s school day makes a positive difference to parents,” McGuire states.

Riversink Principal Jackie High further expounds, “Wendy McGuire is a professional who knows how to enjoy each day. People enjoy being around her. She is a dedicated employee who gives a lot of personal time to teaching. She is always willing to step up and fill a need. A prime example of that is her willingness to take the job no one else wants – textbook chair. I appreciate her dedication and hard work.”

McGuire has also supported the total school program by serving as technology coordinator and team member, peer mentor support and summer school teacher.

Wakulla Pre-K Teacher Tina Fleming is also recognized as a December Teacher of the Month.

Fleming began her career with the District as a substitute t e a c h e r, was quickly hired as a CDA at Sopchoppy EducaTina Fleming tion Center and in 2011 was selected to be a full-time pre-k teacher at the Wakulla Education Center. While offering private art lessons during the summers, a friend encouraged Fleming to pursue teaching.

Originally from Headland, Alabama, Fleming attended Troy State and FSU, earning her Bachelor of Art degree in 1985. She notes, “I have the best job ever! I have never had so much fun at a job before. I love my students because they challenge me, surprise me and teach me ways to be a better person and teacher.

One of my favorite sounds is when a child exclaims, “Ms. Tina, I did it all

Christmas at Wakulla Christian

by myself.”

Pre-K Principal Laura Kelley describes Fleming’s classroom as an exciting place full of animation and art that brings lessons to life. She adds, “Ms. Tina’s students are curious, happy and easily engaged.

With a blended classroom of both Voluntary Pre-K and students with disabilities, lessons are designed and center activities are created to meet the diverse needs of the students. In addition, she enjoys collaborating with her colleagues on the Back Wing to celebrate special occasions such as Johnny Appleseed Day, Thanksgiving Pow-Wow, Holidays around the World, Dr. Seuss Week and Water Day. The District Pre-K program is very fortunate to have Ms. Tina as a nurturer of Eaglet champions.”

Grace DeLong, November Employee of the Month, is currently and has been a school bus driver for the district since 1995.

DeLong shares that driving a school bus allowed her a work schedule that enGrace DeLong abled her to be involved with her own children through their school years.

Being a school bus driver has helped her to also support her husband with their own trucking company. DeLong states, “I enjoy working with many different types of people.

I also enjoy the holiday and summer breaks through the school year.”

A product of the Wakulla County School System, DeLong attended Shadeville Elementary, Wakulla Middle School and graduated from Wakulla High School.

Transportation Coordinator Pat Jones adds, “Grace is always dependable and willing to help fellow drivers, or others in need. She works wonderful with children and willing to give Principal Brazier a helping hand.

Grace does a good job maintaining her bus and keeping her route description current. It is a pleasure to work with Grace as her professional, friendly and her outgoing personality are an asset.”

Wakulla Middle School selected Lee Peck, Principal’s secretary, as their December Employee of the Month.

P e c k brought years of public school bookkeeping experience with her when she joined Lee Peck the Wildcat team in 2007. Prior to serving the stakeholders at WMS, she worked for the Leon County School Board and Tennyson’s Music Store as a bookkeeper and secretary.

Originally from Perry, Peck was hired by retired principal and current school board member Jo Ann Daniels.

Peck enjoys the amusing and exciting activities of middle school. She notes, “The daily interactions with students, parents and co-workers makes coming to work each day rewarding and worthwhile. It is amazing to watch the nervous and eager sixth graders on their first day of middle school and then see them as eighth graders as they quickly develop into mature individuals.”

WMS Principal Rick Myhre adds, “While I was a teacher at WMS I always knew that I could count on Mrs. Peck to answer any question I had, in fact, she answers hundreds of questions to hundreds of people every day.

As a new principal, simply put, I could not do it without her. The best adjective I can find to express her value is irreplaceable. She is the steady hand that guides the school, and has been an indispensable source of advice for me. I truly hope that I am able to work with Mrs. Peck for many years to come.”

On Dec. 18, Crawfordville Elementary School invited family and friends to share projects, power points, and displays about holidays and traditions from around the world. All students, kindergarten through fifth grade, helped their teacher choose a country to study and research for the past several weeks.

Students learned about other children’s communities, traditions, cultures, favorite foods, typical customs, and how those children celebrate this time of year in their country. Our older students worked diligently to create extensive power points with all of the bells and whistles to share with each other and their parents. Some of our younger students wrote

letters and made items representing the country chosen and the typical traditions those families follow Crawfordville students shared their own family traditions and customs, celebrating the diversity in their very own class.

Following the theme of “holidays around the world,” the CES office staff chose to celebrate with a well-known custom of Santa Clause and his elves. Children big and small, young and not so young got to visit with Santa and his elves and end the evening with milk and cookies. It was an evening that took much preparation and coordination but one well worth the lessons learned and the fun had. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year from all of Crawfordville Elementary School!

Wakulla High School How do you and your family spend Christmas?

■ New Welding Program Offered

WHS’s new program will produce future welders

By TRAVIS PARKS

Dalton Gray: I go to my grandparents on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning open presents.

Students on student life

“Let’s burn some rods!” resounded in the newly opened workshop on the Wakulla High School campus as the students poured in ready to work. For the past few months, the students have learned basic safety skills and how to use an acetylene torch to cut steel. “I’m just glad to be out of the classroom,” said Travis Parks, a student of the class.

“We finally get to fuse steel rather than cut it.”

Mr. Grant, the instructor of the class, hopes to see his students enter the workforce straight out of high school. He had this to say, “I hope to see my students become certified welders. I want them to be NCCER (National Center for Con-

struction Education and Research) certified and make big bucks after high school.” Making the big bucks shouldn’t be too hard to do for these students. Upon entering the workforce, the average salary for a welder is $17/hour, and it can only increase from there.

Welders are in short supply all across the nation; work in this field will come easily to the students of WHS. With talk of a nuclear power plant in Jacksonville to the Eastern ship builders in Panama City, work and fine pay is abundant. Mr. Grant assures his students that unemployment is none of their worries, there is always something to do as a welder.

Colton McCulley, a student of the welding class, has plans with his certification. “By the end of next school year I plan on being certified in all aspects of welding and taking my career into pipe welding.” With this new avenue for students to venture down, students may spark a new interest in learning. As shown through the words of Brandon Bennett. “Mr. Grant, I come to school just because of this class.”

College may not be the best route for every student. Vocational classes may be where certain students excel.

By the end of their schooling, these excited novice welders will be free of student loans, and able to move right into the workforce. This is a field worthy of pursuit.

Dramatis Personae welcomes Lindsay Sparkman

By SARA NEAMAND

Julianna Prestia: My family and I spend time with each other and cook.

This year, the WHS Theatre Department has welcomed a new staff member into their lives with open arms. Mrs. Lindsay Sparkman, whose fresh ideas and willingness to cooperate with the teenagers who dedicate their weekday afternoons to pursuing theatrics, has become both the teacher and the director of our school’s program.

However, after Mrs. Susan Solburg retired, rumors have been spreading, claiming the stage has been cursed and bad luck casted on its

floor boards because the woman who spent so many years building it has gone away. This means, from now on, if anyone actually ‘breaks a leg’ during the upcoming performances, Mrs. Sparkman is responsible!

In all seriousness, this is the kind of job where patience not only proves to be a virtue, but is one of the most important aspects to obtain. It is inconceivable how loud the auditorium can get even when the house seats are empty and the students take to the stage to rehearse; all the laughing, all the crying, not to mention the fake laughing and crying.

Drama is a place where the students can be themselves. Or better yet, have an outlet and pretend to be someone they are not for a change.

■ New WeatherSTEM station

Weather station tracks local weather day a “Sky Movie” is uploaded to the website, illustrating cloud movement, sunrise and sunset, or any other event that occurred on that day.

More than 20 counties in Florida have taken advantage of the WeatherSTEM program which is aimed at “empowering teachers to create Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math lessons, activities, and assessments using realworld weather,” according to the WeatherSTEM website.

A t Wa k u l l a H i g h School, this data will be used in lessons and activities ranging from Algebra to Environmental Science classes. It can even help make deci-

On the morning of Dec. 2, Wakulla High became the flagship school in Wakulla County for the statewide WeatherSTEM program.

Wakulla High School received donated on-site instrumentation and sensors that give real-time weather data. This data is updated every minute and is published on a website that displays current weather conditions, along with other useful data to both the school and the community. The donated equipment also includes a cloud camera that takes a picture of the southwestern sky every minute and transmits the image to the Wakulla WeatherSTEM website.

Wakulla High now has Gay Straight Alliance

Cadets earn high marks at pass-in-review

By AUDREY DUTROW

Wednesday, December 10th, the NJROTC cadets began their pass-in-review under the careful scrutiny of visiting Commander Dirk Hebert.

There were hundreds of cheering parents and enthusiasts at the pass-in-review as the uniformed cadets stood in formation to be inspected and graded on their uniform and posture while standing at attention.

Of the nearly 120 cadets, at least 70 received a ten on their uniform wear, the highest commendation possible. This momentous occasion is a chance for each cadet participating to receive the exemplary appearance ribbon for outstanding uniform wear as judged by Commander Herbert.

Happy with everyone’s effort, he awarded our unit the Distinguished Unit Ribbon, the second greatest honor a cadet can wear.

Wakulla High School’s NJROTC drill teams also performed and were honored at the event.

Wakulla High School is now home to a new organization, the student based, Gay Straight Alliance (GSA).

The GSA, one of 3,000+ similar school-based groups in the United States, is centered around the idea that students who do not identify as heterosexual should not be subject to bullying and harassment in their learning environment.

GSA serves as a safe space for all students, regardless of their sexual preference, to congregate with supporting allies and understanding members who serve as a support group and team together toward a common goal--eliminating bullying directed towards students. In order to be successful at school and learn, it is essential to be in an environment that is safe and protected from bullying and harassment, and addressing this issue cannot be ignored at Wakulla High. Regardless of one’s personal views, it can be fundamentally agreed upon that every student is deserving of a school where they can learn and grow without bullying and harassment.

sions when threatening weather affects sporting events at the high school.

Among the array of data that this weather station offers is a lightning detector. It has the ability to detect lightning down to a tenth of a mile away from WHS. This will allow coaches to make safer decisions when it comes to practices and games.

Apart from the obvious advantages of having the data, the WeatherSTEM program and its personnel promise to work with WHS to use and implement the data in engaging, challenging, and rigorous lesson plans that will equip the students of our county with knowledge in the

fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Teachers of Wakulla High School will be participating in Professional Development that will give them the tools to excel at this in the very near future.

One of the most impressive features of this program is the various ways to access the data.

The Wakulla High School WeatherSTEM site can be found at https:// wakulla.weatherstem. com/wakullahs. The twitter account is @ WakullaWxSTEM. You are also able to call or text 850-745-2007 to receive current weather conditions as reported by the WHS WeatherSTEM Station.

■ College Acceptance

Post news on ‘Look whoo got accepted’ tree

By SARAH COLLINS

The college acceptance season is upon us, and here at Wakulla High we like to honor our seniors for their hard work. In order to give them recognition, they need to fill out a form that can be downloaded from the school website or found outside of guidance.

Their acceptance will then be posted on the school website, announced on the morning announcements, and also added as a wise owl on the “Look Whoo Got Accepted” tree outside of guidance.

Seniors, let us know about your achievement; we want to recognize you for your success!

The “Look Whoo Got Accepted” tree is posted outside of the guidance office with owls representing students who have received college acceptance letters.

The Christmas Tree Wreck

It has been said there are six degrees of separation.

With the inter net and social media those degrees of separation are getting smaller and smaller. This past week was a prime example of that!

Thursday night, Dec. 18, a soldier in the Army with a connection to Thomasville, Ga.. where two auxiliary members live, posted a request for help. A soldier in her unit who was new to Fort Hood was trying to get home for Christmas. He had a ride arranged, but his fellow soldier had an opportunity to get home a day earlier.

Being new to Fort Hood, Private Henry was not able to arrange other transportation to the airport Saturday, Dec. 20.

Our military works hard day in and day out to protect us and our freedom. This soldier deserved to be home with his family for Christmas.

Member Carolyn Treadon talked to Flotilla Commander Duane Treadon about the situation. He sent an email to Flotilla Commander T.W. Cook of Flotilla 081-05-07 in Austin, Texas.

Flotilla Commander Cook sent a request for help to his entire

Within one hour of the email going out to the Austin Flotilla, a member contacted Treadon offering to assist Private Henry.

Phone numbers were exchanged and the two worked out details. Auxiliarist Vazquez drove to base and took Private Henry to the airport about an hour away. He will celebrate Christmas with his family this year.

attempting to disclose deer on the same road where one of the deer was shot earlier in the week. At that time, the subject did not have a gun in his possession, but after being questioned, admitted to killing the two illegal deer. After obtaining a written confession, Lt. Lambert traveled to the second subject’s house and obtained a second written confession. The rifle was seized and charges were filed on both subjects for two counts of taking deer at night with a gun and light.

ESCAMBIA COUNTY: Lt. Lambert was given the last name and vehicle description of two subjects that had illegally killed two doe deer at night.

Both deer were shot with a .22 caliber rifle, five days apart. Neither deer was recovered by the subjects, but both deer were found the day after they were shot. Several hours after receiving the tip, Lieutenant Lambert observed one of the suspects shining a light

• BAY COUNTY: Officer Gore was conducting resource inspections at the Burnt Mill Creek Boat Ramp when a commercial oyster boat coming to dock made a U-turn upon seeing the officer. Officer Gore learned a subject was dropped off upstream and found he possessed no saltwater products license to commercially harvest oysters, a small baggie of cannabis and two baggies of crystal methamphetamine.

The subject was booked into the Bay County Jail for the violations.

Every year the schooner Rouse Simmons would arrive just before Christmas in the port of Chicago, loaded with Christmas trees from the upper Michigan forest. Herman Schuenemann, captain of the 123 foot Rouse Simmons (built in Milwaukee in 1868), would spend the fall north of Lake Michigan cutting trees for transport to the docks of Chicago aboard his schooner. There, customers would visit Captain Santa, as he was affectionately called, and would buy his trees directly off the schooner’s deck.

But this year, 1912, he lingered, some say because he was also hunting venison far too late into the winter. The Rouse Simmons, a vessel now 44 years old, well past its prime and worn out from hauling many heavy loads of lumber, was described by dock observers as heavily loaded with as many as 5,000 trees filling the cargo hold and covering its deck.

She pulled out on Nov. 22, coinciding with a tremendous northern storm that was to send three other vessels to the bottom of this lake. The next day, off Kewaunee, Wis., the Life Saving Station observed a Schooner with flag at half mast, a sign of distress, 5 miles off shore in a NW gale. Surf men from Two Rivers, just to the south, dispatched a power boat but found no trace of the Rouse Simmons. Over the next few weeks pine trees would float ashore along the western coastline of Lake Michigan. In 1924 Herman’s wallet was retrieved, caught in fishing net and returned to the family.

As I descended into cold Lake Michigan waters in 2006, as part of a forensic study by the Wisconsin Historic Society of the recently discovered wreck site of the Rouse Simmons, I was awed by the clarity of the water (thanks to an invasive zebra mussel that can be found encrusting everything hard). And there laid out in front of me is a schooner just like it looked after impact with the lake floor at 170 feet, facing north with all of its rigging spread out in front of the bow. With me is the last of the schooner riggers, Dr. Jim Garey, now a microbiologist and fellow rebreather diver. State UW Archaeologist Keith Meverden and his very capable staff have mapped the vessel creating a mosaic, now awaiting a forensic evaluation as to why the ship went down.

For two weeks we identified and located rigging in the debris field that might explain what happened.

At night we would scour Jim’s rigging manuals and begin to lay out scenarios to explain what we found.

The mizzen was sheared off 8 feet above the deck.

The massive main mast was sheared off at the deck.

The foremast was lifted out of its cradle and laid next to the main mast both pointed forward off the bow.

The rest of the rigging still attached lay with corresponding masts. The hull was intact, but the steerage was missing and reported found some distance away by other divers. The anchor chain was pinned in place and stretching off the bow along the masts.

We concluded that the captain lost steerage with the loss of his mizzen and steerage, which were located beside each other. The captain would have deployed his anchor, knowing the shore was close by. When the anchor bit into the lake floor, the overloaded schooner was violently pulled around to face the gale and with such large fetch crated waves, the bow was suddenly plunged deeply into the water.

The main mast snapped at the deck, falling forward placing even greater weight on the bow. Further waves now swamped water over the bow. As the flooded ship began its descent, the foremast buoyed up by the water slid up out of its cradle and also fell forward coming to rest laid out as we later came to inspect it almost a century later. Yes, the wreck still had Christmas trees in the hold, and remnants of past passengers, now properly laid to rest. Months later the anchor was found right where we predicted it should have been.

The technology that made this study possible was provided and taught primarily from our sleepy little Wakulla County.

WEEKLY ROUNDUP â&#x20AC;&#x201C; (Recap and analysis of the week in state government)

Questions on jobs, Jeb and marriage

By BRANDON LARRABEE THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

TALLAHASSEE, Dec.19 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; One of Gov. Rick Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first and most heavily debated promises was back in the headlines Friday, as the governor claimed he had reached his goal of creating 700,000 jobs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and critics quickly noted that the original pledge was a bit more robust than that.

It was a fitting end to a week full of open questions, often about semantics, that never seemed to get resolved.

Former Gov. Jeb Bush announced he would â&#x20AC;&#x153;actively exploreâ&#x20AC;? running for president â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which many observers saw as a precursor to a formal bid for the 2016 GOP nomination, though Bush still hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t officially thrown his hat in the ring by weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end (and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expected to for a while). At the same time, longtime Bushwatchers were questioning the national mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rush to label the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former leader a â&#x20AC;&#x153;moderate.â&#x20AC;?

Attor ney General Pam Bondi continued her fight to prevent same-sex marriage from taking effect in Florida â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the clock was running toward an early 2015 beginning for nuptials, and the courts largely remained quiet.

Perhaps, like everyone who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t breathe politics, they were simply out doing some Christmas shopping.

700,000 JOBS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; GIVE OR TAKE A MILLION It was notable enough in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly jobs report that the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment mark fell below 6 percent for the first time since May 2008, before the financial market crash that triggered one of the worst economic downturns in American history. The jobless rate checked in at 5.8 percent in November.

But the numbers also gave Scott something to crow about: He claimed that the state had created 700,000 jobs since he took office, a ful-

fillment of the 7-7-7 pledge he made to voters during his first campaign for the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mansion in 2010.

Never mind the fact that not all of the seven steps that Scott had claimed would lead to 700,000 jobs in seven years were fully enacted. And never mind caveats about how many jobs he actually promised. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four years ago, we unveiled an ambitious plan to fix Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy and turn the state around,â&#x20AC;? Scott said in a prepared statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal was to create 700,000 jobs in seven years. Today our goal was reached three years early, with 715,700 privatesector jobs created in Florida since December 2010.â&#x20AC;?

Not so fast, Democrats countered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fraud against the people of Florida, and an insult to everyone who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a job this holiday season,â&#x20AC;?

Joshua Karp, communications director of the Florida Democratic Party, said in an email.

The dispute dates back to one of Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debates with then-Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, his Democratic opponent in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, our plan is seven steps to 700,000 jobs,â&#x20AC;? Scott said during that debate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And that plan is on top of what normal growth would be.â&#x20AC;?

The moderator, Antonio Mora, pushed Scott a bit.

Economists expected the state to add about a million jobs, so another 700,000 jobs would mean that Florida would have an additional 1.7 million openings over the next seven years, Mora noted, in a state where 1 million people were unemployed at the time.

Scott didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t correct Mora. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to grow the state,â&#x20AC;? he responded, then began ticking off the virtues of doing business in Florida.

Even before this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign, when Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest talking-point was his record of job creation, the exchange with Mora was re-

peatedly walked back after the governor settled into office. In a statement issued in October 2011, Scott said his promise was â&#x20AC;&#x153;the creation of 700,000 jobs over seven years regardless of what the economy might otherwise gain or loseâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a slight change in phrasing that altered the meaning of the promise.

By the original count, Scott still has plenty of work cut out for him in his second term.

But Friday showed that Scott will stick to his revised promised. The question is whether Democrats will want to keep holding him to what he said in 2010, or move on to other fights. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ACTIVELY EXPLORINGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; With all the policy speeches and newspaper stories bubbling up about the presidential ambitions of the man they once called Jeb!, one could be forgiven for thinking that Bush had already begun to â&#x20AC;&#x153;actively exploreâ&#x20AC;? whether to run for the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest office in 2016.

But that step actually happened this week, as Bush announced Tuesday on his Facebook page. That alone was a sign of how much politics had changed since Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last bid for public office in 2002, before Mark Zuckerberg had begun building the website that would become Facebook.

In his post to the social media site, Bush wrote about spending time with his wife, Columba, children and grandchildren at Thanksgiving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also talked about the future of our nation,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bush wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a result of these conversations and thoughtful consideration of the kind of strong leadership I think America needs, I have decided to actively explore the possibility of running for President of the United States.â&#x20AC;?

National political reporters hailed the news as the latest signs of hope for the Republican establishment, and perhaps the now-endangered

species of GOP moderates.

That puzzled Floridians who had long considered Bush a rock-ribbed Republican who backed school vouchers, tax cuts and efforts to keep life support hooked up for Terri Schiavo, a woman diagnosed by doctors as being in a persistent vegetative state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intriguing and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;all have been reading the national media (reports) that Jeb is a moderate or middle of the road, and â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;all covered him,â&#x20AC;? Senate President Andy Gardiner, ROrlando, said skeptically during a meeting with reporters.

Democrats were all too happy to make the same point, hoping to ding the brother of the last President Bush and lessen the chances that there would be another one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the good news: With this announcement, Americans are going to get their first chance to learn about Jeb Bush,â&#x20AC;? said Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Allison Tant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As Florida governor, Jeb was a partisan extremist who fought to privatize public education and abused the power of government to interfere in private medical decisions in the Terri Schiavo case.â&#x20AC;?

YES OR NO ON GAY MARRIAGE? While the political maneuvers over jobs and presidential ambitions continued, a legal battle to decide whether gay couples can marry in Florida also kept moving. On Monday, Bondi asked the U.S. Supreme Court to place a hold on same-sex nuptials, which could begin Jan. 6 unless an extension of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ban is approved.

Bondiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request came less than two weeks after a federal appeals court rejected her effort to at least temporarily extend the gay-marriage prohibition, which U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle ruled in August was unconstitutional.

Hinkle placed a stay on his decision to allow time for appeals in three cases then pending before the Supreme Court.

Bondi asked the Supreme Court to keep the hold in place until Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeals run out or until the justices rule in similar cases. The Republican attorney general is asking justices to intervene to avoid confusion and to â&#x20AC;&#x153;maintain uniformity,â&#x20AC;? her spokeswoman Jenn Meale said in a memo accompanying the filing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a continuation of the effort to maintain uniformity and order throughout Florida until final resolution of the numerous challenges to the voter-approved constitutional amendment on marriage, the Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office filed with the United States Supreme Court an application to extend the stay,â&#x20AC;? Meale wrote.

Unsurprisingly, lawyers for same-sex couples asked the high court Thursday to reject that request. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every day that the couples we represent and the thousands of families across Florida who are also denied the protections of marriage go without those protections, they are suffering real harm, as Judge Hinkleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order made plainly clear,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Daniel Tilley, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida.

STORY OF THE WEEK: Despite objections by Democrats, Gov. Rick Scott announced that he had reached his goal of creating 700,000 jobs.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: â&#x20AC;&#x153;What does the cause of (Cuban) liberty get in return for that?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; State Rep. Jose Javier Rodriguez, D-Miami, on the possibility of the Cuban government opening an embassy in Washington, D.C., following President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to re-establish diplomatic ties with the island nation.

By DAVID WHITE

Alexander Niehenke began to appreciate wine ten years ago. But for the first four years, it was simply a beverage he enjoyed with dinner from time to time, especially when cooking at home.

And then he put his nose in a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon from Justin, a winery based in Paso Robles, Calif.

He was at a bachelor party, where few attendees were paying any attention to the wine inside their glasses. But for Niehenke, the aromas were intoxicating.

Something clicked. So he promptly dove into the world of wine.

For the next five years, Niehenkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for wine grew steadily and predictably. As a resident of San Francisco, weekend trips to Napa Valley and Sonoma were easy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so he started driving north regularly. He began attending tastings, reading wine publications, and even collecting.

And then he discovered Delectable, a mobile wine app. Since downloading the program last fall, Niehenke has been moving towards oenophilia at lightning speed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The app has taught me about new producers, new regions, and even new varieties,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually just learned about orange wine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and tried my first one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thanks to it.â&#x20AC;?

An orange wine is made by treating white wine grapes as if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

red -- in other words, soaking the skins and seeds alongside the juice during fermentation. Orange wines have become quite popular among some of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hippest sommeliers, and thanks to Delectable, Niehenke can see what those sommeliers are opening each night.

Delectable traces its roots to 2011, when Alex Fishman was working in Dubai for Palantir, the data analytics firm best known for its work with the U.S. intelligence community. Shortly before returning home, Fishman and his girlfriend came upon a wine theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d enjoyed on many occasions. Wanting to remember the bottle so they could purchase it in the United States, they looked to the label for information â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but were overwhelmed.

Fishman recalled this experience a few months later over breakfast with in New York with Aaron Vanderbeek, a videogame designer. The two were old friends, and Fishman was detailing his desire to launch a mission-focused company â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ideally, one that would â&#x20AC;&#x153;make the world a more delicious place.â&#x20AC;?

In short order, they realized that there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any good mobile apps for wine enthusiasts. So Fishman and Vanderbeek began building Delectable. Today, the app identifies all a wineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s details from a photo and allows users to review and purchase wines. It also helps users discover industry

professionals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; winemakers, sommeliers, and critics â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and see what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re drinking.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder why Delectable has been described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Instagram of wine.â&#x20AC;? Thanks in large part to this feature, Delectable could revolutionize consumption. As Fishman told me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the wine market is broken because of a lack of information. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why consumers buy points. But the point system is flawed because people have radically different tastes.â&#x20AC;?

Niehenke is certainly drinking better thanks to the app. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When looking for new wines, I used to call my knowledgeable friends.

Now, I can just open up Delectable to see what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re drinking,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I realized I could follow pros too, wow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that was cool. I love seeing what my favorite winemakers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; people like Ross Cobb and Cathy Corison â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are drinking.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Events could inspire adventurous Lambs looking to make a major career or personal move. But as always, get all the facts before rushing into any sort of deal or commitment.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) What seems to be a great opportunity could cause even usually practical Taureans to ignore their inner caution cues. Best to move carefully to avoid falling into unseen traps.

GEMINI (May 21 to June

20) Need a holiday now that the seasonal festivities are behind you? Good idea. Plan to go someplace wonderful.

You’ll return refreshed and more than ready for a new challenge.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Progress continues to be made on that pesky workplace problem. Meanwhile, don’t assume a personal situation will work itself out.

Best to get more involved earlier than later.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Catnaps are definitely recommended for Leos and Leonas who had been going at a hectic pace over the holidays. Adding relaxation time to your schedule helps restore your overdrawn en-

ergy reserves.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Sure, some of the new friends you made over the holidays might move out of your life at some point.

But at least one might show significant “staying power” with some encouragement.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Encourage family members to join you in supporting a relative who could be facing a difficult emotional challenge in the New Year. Showing your love and concern helps keep his or her hopes up.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) While a longdeferred decision suddenly might take on some urgency after news on a related mat-

ter, you still need to weigh all factors carefully before deciding one way or the other.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good time to reassess the earlier plan you made for the New Year. Some elements you felt you could depend on to make it work might no longer carry that assurance.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Forming a renewed connection with a former associate is only the first step toward working out your new plans. Be prepared for problems, and deal with them as soon as they arise.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A romantic

situation that was going smoothly not too long ago might take a new turn. Be honest about your feelings before you decide whether to follow it or take another path.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The wise Pisces (that’s you, of course) will make sure everyone knows you plan to keep your options open and listen to all sides of the situation before making any decisions.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your honest approach to life and living is always an inspiration for others fortunate enough to know you. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Palmetto, common to Florida, has many uses Natural Wakulla

By Les Harrison The conquistadores and other explorers encountered many hardships and obstacles during Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frontier days. Everyday brought new problems and challenges to those who were surveying the landscape and assessing the resources for the king or emperor to which they had sworn their allegiance.

The inhabitants were not always friendly to these covetous visitors, and there were the bugs, animals and the terrain which could be problematic. Behind every tree and in every swamp there lurked the potential for some very unpleasant surprises which would slow their progress at reaching booty and plunder.

Particularly irksome were the thick green plants which could collectively halt a column of 16th century travelers. One of the notable offenders to quick exploration was the saw palmetto.

Commonly known in

Wakulla County, and many other Florida locales, as the palmetto, it is the slow growing and long lived producer of intimidating thickets.

Serenoa repens, as it is known scientifically, is a native to the southeastern U.S. and the only member of the Serenoa genus.

While this plant can be found as far away as Arkansas, Florida is where this palm is most commonly encountered.

This resilient plant is a common sight today in the coast plains adjacent to the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.

Live oaks, pines and other trees may dominate the horizon in Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild areas, but it is the palmetto which covers thousands of square miles of the sandy soil.

The green frons provide the texture of a prickly green blanket which hides the unknown and generates speculation.

The areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original inhabitants learned long ago about the many useful features this plant offered to human and

A thicket of saw palmetto.The flowers are food for insects, the fruit is food for wildlife, the fronds can be used for thatched goods, and the plant has medicinal uses. animal residents. As explorers transitioned into colonist, they too developed an understanding and appreciation of this often overlooked foliage.

Rarely over seven feet tall, the sprawling plants grow in dense irregular clusters. Some specimens in undeveloped area are estimated to be over 500 years old.

The palmettoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s palm shaped leaves spring from a stalk or petiole which is lined with sturdy sharp spines resembling a saw. The

spines are easily capable of tearing fabric or flesh of anyone careless when moving through palmetto undergrowth.

The palmetto flowers are pale yellow to white and grow on dense stalks with a distinct fragrance. They are attractive to a number of native insects which collect nectar and pollen.

Even European honeybees find the blooms attractive. The late spring blooms are the basis for palmetto honey.

The palmettoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fruit is a gloss deep red to black berry. It is an important wildlife food stock, and the means by which palmetto seeds reach and colonize new sites.

Humans also have consumed the berries and have used the frons for a variety of applications requiring a fibrous materiel. Thatched roofing, woven hats and baskets, and fiber strands to reinforce pottery are all uses which have been devised over time.

The fatty acids and

phytosterols have been tested for medicinal applications in recent decades. Clinical trials indicate it is a safe and effective treatment for some prostate conditions.

The onetime barrier to exploration has opened the possibilities to better health. If only the conquistadores has known what they found.

Les Harrison is the Wakulla County Extension Director.

Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Project: A Christmas to Remember

By NICOLE ZEMA nzema@thewakullanews.net

A showcase of diverse musical talents comprised the program for A Christmas to Remember

on Dec. 13 at the Community Center, sponsored by the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Project and the Wakulla County Health Department. About 50 people attended the event, ben-

efitting the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Project.

Sharon Fox, who works with the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Project, helped to organize the event. Fox entertained with her

voice, and skills on alto and soprano saxophone.

Adam Hill and his family of 13 children performed Christmas carols and worship music. Mary Johnson

hand-signed to the song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Line to See Jesus?â&#x20AC;? Libby McFalls also sang Christmas selections. Brooks Johnson got the audience grinning with Elton Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Step into Christmas.â&#x20AC;? During the songâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bridge, Johnson tried to quickly list Elton Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top hits. Also listed in the program were Rick Tittle, and Charles and Joan Smith.

James Smith, clinical director of the Alzheim-

erâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Project, said the organization has grown, and all services are free.

The organization provides respite for caregivers, counseling services, and caregiver support groups. He also discussed Project Lifesaver â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a program to track individuals who might wander from home.

EXTRA! Have you seen the star?

By NICOLE ZEMA nzema@thewakullanews.net

Multiple churches joined together on Dec. 20 and 21 to celebrate the birth of Christ as part of a Christmas Cantata, called “Once You’ve Seen the Star.” Panacea Full Gospel Assembly hosted the singers and nativity actors on Dec. 20. Mount Beasor Primitive Baptist Church hosted the performance on Sunday.

A choir made up of churches from Ivan Assembly of God, Mount Beasor, Panacea Full Gospel and Shady Sea Baptist Church blended their voices for spirited Christmas melodies, punctuated by narration by Pat McArthur.

Glend McArthur was the soloist.

The choir was led by music minister Patsy Thomas, with Eddie Sanders and Greg Hurley.

Thomas said the whole purpose of the cantata is to bring glory to God. She thanked supporters and participants of the perfor mances.

“Getting small churches like this together is a wonderful experience,” Thomas said.

The Rev. Charles “BB” Barwick, pastor at Panacea Full Gospel Assembly, welcomed the crowd to the multi-church celebration.

“I hope if you’ve ever seen the star, tonight the Lord’s spirit will rest upon your heart,” Barwick said. “Jesus is the gift that keeps on giving.”

Children who represented the nativity were Kyler Smith and Lydia Akins as Joseph and Mary. Shepherds were Christopher Barnett, Tristan Smith and Gus Barwick. Angels were Kathleen Barnett and Chloe Hutton. Wise men were Tyler Dandridge, Rusty Chaires and Jacob Smith.
