Je f f e r s o nC o u n t yTourist Devel-

opment Council (TDC)Coordinator NancyWideman will be one ofthe many tourism andhospitality industryrepresentatives partic-ipating in the FloridaTourism Day at theState Capitol thisWednesday, March 12.

Designed to cele-brate the significanceof Florida’s tourism in-dustry, the daylongevent will include foodand refreshments, livemusic and other activi-ties. But the greater un-derlying message that

the industry wants toconvey is the impor-tance of tourism to thestate’s economy.

According to thePartnership forFlorida’s Tourism,which is sponsoringthe event, preliminaryestimates indicate that94.7 million visitorscame to Florida in 2013,making it a record yearthat far exceeded theprevious high of 91.5million visitors.

Wideman said sheplanned to share infor-mation about JeffersonCounty, Visit Floridaand Visit NaturalNorth Florida withSenators Bill Montfordand Charles Dean andHouse Representatives

Halsey Beshears andMichelle Rehwinkle-Vasilinda, among oth-ers.

“I’m getting to-gether a list of talkingpoints,” Wideman saidon Friday, March 7.

Ten statewide asso-ciations are participat-ing in the event,including the FloridaRestaurant and Lodg-ing Association, VisitFlorida, the Florida As-sociation of Destina-tion MarketingOrganizations, FloridaAssociation of RVParks and Camp-grounds, the FloridaDepartment of Agri-culture and ConsumerServices and FilmFlorida.

Members of thevarious organizationswill be meeting withlegislators one-on-onethroughout the day topress for the full fund-ing of tourism, hospi-tality, and marketingprograms in the com-ing legislative session.They will also empha-size the point thattourism generates jobsand generates revenuesfor the state and smallcommunities such asMonticello.

The TDC is themain tourism promot-ing entity in JeffersonCounty. It is funded bya tax imposed on thetourism and hospital-ity industry in thecounty.


The JeffersonCounty’s SmallBusiness De-

velopment Program, aswell as two local busi-nesses, will be high-lighted in the thirdprogram of the FloridaEconomic and BusinessDevelopment Webinarseries, scheduled to airlive statewide onWednesday, March 12,from 2 to 3:45 p.m.

Program DirectorMarcia Elder is sched-uled to interview Den-nis Vogelgesang, ofCarrie Ann & Co., andMark Kessler, ofKessler ConstructionLLC, on their “strate-gies for business suc-cess … as well asentrepreneurial pitfallsto avoid.”

“Both businessesare recognized for theirsuccess and have valu-able insights to sharewith others in businessor anyone thinking ofstarting their own busi-ness,” Elder says.

Carrie Ann & Co. isa Monticello-based cus-tom catering businessthat serves the northFlorida/South Floridaareas, as well as operat-

ing The Mays HouseRestaurant on EastWashington Street, anduntil recently, the Rose-mary Tree Café and GiftShop in downtown.

Kessler Construc-tion LLC, meanwhile, isanother Monticello-based company thatbuilds custom homes,as well as doing remod-eling, additions, out-buildings, andmiscellaneous repairwork in Tallahasseeand its surroundingcities and South Geor-gia.

Others of the speak-ers scheduled forWednesday’ Webinar,which is titled “Entre-preneurism & SmallBusiness Development– Proven Strategies forBusiness Creation, Ex-pansion & Accelera-tion”, are Barry Ryanand Michael W. Myhre.

Ryan is assistant di-rector of the Institutefor Rural Entrepreneur-ship & North CarolinaRural Economic Devel-opment Center. He willspeak on the center’scomprehensive and in-novative approaches insupport of 85 statewiderural communities.Please SeeWEBINAR Page 3


City officialsand Farmersand Mer-

chants Bank (FMB)have come to an agree-ment regarding the un-completed subdivisionnamed Bide-a-Wee onthe easternmost part oftown.

It happened at theMonticello City Councilon Tuesday evening,March 4.

Based on the recom-mendation of City Man-ager Steve Wingate,who determined itwould cost about $37,000to put in the sewer linethat the subdivisionstill lacks, city officialsand FMB representa-tive Mike Rogers agreedthat the developer —presumably FMB,which currently ownsthe property, orwhomever the pur-chaser, should FMB sellit in the interim — willbe responsible for in-stalling the line.

The sewer line,what’s more, must beinstalled before anybuildings can go up onthe seven remainingundeveloped lots thatmake up the subdivi-sion.

In return, the citywill reimburse the de-veloper for the cost ofthe installation fromthe system developmentcharges that it collectsfrom residences whenthese connect to thecity’s sewer system.

City officials madeit clear that the reim-bursements won’t beimmediate nor will thesystem developmentcharges from the sevenlots be enough to reim-burse the developer intotal for the cost of in-stalling the system; butit will go a ways.

FMB agreed to thedeal for the sake of get-ting the final plat ap-proved and expeditingthe development, whichhas been dormant since Please SeeAGREEMENT Page 3


What impactit mayhave in the

long run, or at the locallevel for that matter, islargely conjecture atthis point, as is muchhaving to do with theongoing litigation andsupposed millions thatare expected to comeeventually from thegovernment and oilcompanies settlementsover the 2010 DeepwaterHorizon oil spill in theGulf of Mexico.

For what’s it worth,however, Florida onWednesday, March 5,joined the multi-statefederal litigation cur-rently pending in theEastern District ofLouisiana over thenearly four-year-old oilspill. Filing the suitagainst BP and other

entities involved in theoil pill were the FloridaDepartment of Envi-ronmental Protection(FDEP) and FloridaFish and Wildlife Con-servation Commission(FWC).

The two agencies’complaint reportedlyname BP, Anadarko,and Transocean as de-fendants, holding thethree responsible forenvironmental harm tothe state’s coastal ecol-ogy and associated en-vironmental andrecreational opportuni-ties.

This most recentcomplaint follows thesuit that the AttorneyGeneral’s Office filedseparately last year.The Attorney General’ssuit deals with eco-nomic losses to the stateas a result of the oil Please SeeOIL SPILL Page 3

Florida Joins OngoingGulf Oil Spill Litigation

The fiscal conditionof Florida's state govern-ment is in good shape asevidenced by a newstudy that ranks thestate sixth overall in thenation, though there aresome limitations withthe report's findings, ac-cording to FloridaTaxWatch.

"Florida continues tomanage its finances veryresponsibility," said Do-minic M. Calabro, presi-dent and CEO of FloridaTaxWatch, the independ-ent, nonpartisan, non-profit taxpayer researchinstitute and govern-ment watchdog organi-zation. "This report is

further evidence thatFlorida's fiscal house isin order.

Florida's top rankingfrom the study is consis-tent with the state's ex-cellent bond ratings,such as a "AAA" ratingfrom Standard andPoor's, the highest ratingavailable. A good indica-tion of financial health,the state has received thetop rating since 2005.

While the analysisof the report by FloridaTaxWatch yielded a sim-ilar conclusion, it alsoraised some questions.Florida's high ranking incash and budget sol-vency is not surprising,due to state's significantcash reserves, the bal-anced budget require-ment in the Floridaconstitution, and theway the legislature dealtwith the revenue short-falls during the reces-sion.

However, Florida'slow long-run solvencyranking is surprising, asFlorida has the fifth-low-est combined tax sup-ported debt andunfunded pension liabil-ities in the nation.Florida's number tworanking in service-levelsolvency is likely over-es-timated by the report,and TaxWatch questionsif that index is meaning-ful. TaxWatch alsopoints out that it is verydifficult to adequatelycompare state govern-ments without consider-ing the role localgovernments have inproviding public serv-ices. Florida has the sec-ond largest reliance onlocal governments in thenation, measured bylocal government's shareof total state and localrevenue (55.6 percent).

It’s Girl Scout cookie time! I ab-solutely love Girl Scout cook-ies. I love it when I see tables

loaded down with the familiar brightboxes, set up in front of grocery orhome-good stores, joyfully being soldby girls with brown or green sashes.I usually only buy one box at a timeso I can buy from as many differentgirls as my wallet and waistline allow.The very first box that I look for andtake home is the green box of ThinMints that holds not only my favorite,but the top 25 percent of cookie buy-ers as well, making it the Girl Scout’stop-selling cookie. A woman I previ-ously worked with would buy a wholecase of the mint cookies and storethem in her freezer. I tried to do thesame, one time. Her goal was to havethe cookies all year. Unfortunately, Idiscovered I liked them frozen andmy cookies did not last that long.

If you want (need) Girl Scoutcookies but can no longer find themlocally, no worries, you can now findthem online. You can go to the GirlScout site and use their cookie finder.While you’re there, you can searchthe site to learn the history of thecookies and get answers to a slew offrequently asked questions that arenot only informative, but interestingas well. One of the things you cancheck out is the variety of cookiesnow available. Some of them I haveseen, and tasted, but some I have yetto see, at least on the tables I have pa-tronized. One of the newer ones, Sa-vannah Smiles, I did buy this pastweekend. They remind me of acookie that my parents used to buywhen I was a child, Lemon Coolers.They are crunchy, sweet with confec-tioner’s sugar, tart with lemon, and anow close second to Thin Mints as faras my favorites.

One of the things I was hoping to

find on my Girl Scout cookie quest,while online, was a recipe using thecookies. I have heard of recipes usingthe cookies, but had never searchedfor any, until now. The Thin Mintrecipes for pie and truffles temptedme, and the recipes using Peanut But-ter Patties sounded wonderful, butwhat I ended up printing (but not yetmaking) was a recipe from a GirlScout in Washington, who earned herbaking badge and followed that ac-complishment by entering a GirlScout baking contest using the Savan-nah Smiles cookies. With spring rightaround the corner, the tarts sounddecadent but refreshing. Looks likeI’ll be heading back out to buy morecookies, and if I can’t find them onthe street, or on the Girl Scout site, Ialso discovered while online, I canbuy them on eBay.

Dear Editor:As we wit-ness the

collapse of the UnitedStates of America as aviable nation-stateone tries to compre-hend what brought usto this point. Is it pos-sible that we have be-come a nation lockedin permanent adoles-cence?

Though one cancite numerous exam-ples of adolescent be-havior on the part ofmajority-age Ameri-cans the "Super Bowl"serves to illustrate.Football is a child'sgame designed to pro-vide a relatively safeway for young boys toburn off energy anddevelop physical, ath-letic skills that couldserve in later life asthey entered the work-force or enlisted in themilitary. It has sincegrown in to a multi-billion dollar industrylargely subsidizedwith tax-payer money.

The average foot-ball game has about 5minutes of actual playtime, i.e., the actualtime the ball is beinghandled by players,

tackles made, etc.. The "official"

game time is 1 hour.The actual time con-sumed now averagesabout 4 hours fromkick-off to final whis-tle. The bulk of time isconsumed by "officialtimeouts", "commer-cial timeouts", "replaytimeouts", etc.. Whenone considers the"pre-game hype" and"post-game analyses"a true fan will wasteabout 8 to 10 hours onone game. To watchabout 5 minutes of ac-tual play!

The "fan" will thenspend countless hoursdebating and dis-cussing the ups anddowns of that 5 min-utes of play, often dis-playing a depth ofknowledge of "thegame" that boggles themind of the mildly in-terested or non-fan.

Other examples ofadolescence includethe behavior ofyoung/middle ageadults lining-up to ac-quire the latest gadgetfrom Apple and at the-atres to see the latestidiotic "Super Hero"movie. While growingup, kids of my genera-

tion (1940's) readcomic books galoreand went to the"movies" on Saturdayto watch Superman orHopalong Cassidy dotheir thing but, ataround age 12 or 13started putting thosethings away andsought an after-schooljob or engaged insome sporting activ-ity.

Of course, themost glaring exampleof permanent adoles-cence in the U.S. of A.is the current occu-pant of the Oval Of-fice. While Obamaflits from golf courseto golf course, frombasketball game tobasketball game, vaca-tion to vacation virtu-ally every departmentof government is en-gaging in activitiesthat are blatantly un-constitutional and in-jurious to thecitizenry. Obama's re-sponse when queriedabout the most egre-gious failings? "I did-n't know". "I wasn'tbriefed". "Nobody toldme". "I'm not responsi-ble".

In Yeppoon, Aus-tralia, a man bitten byan eastern brownsnake, instead of call-ing for help, decidedinstead to have a coldbeer. RodneySomerville was gar-dening at his homewhen the deadly snakebit him on the finger.After hitting the snakein the head with ashovel, the 54-year-olddecided to have at leastone last beer. “I said tomyself, if I’m going tocark it, I’m going tohave a beer, so I got aGoldie out of thefridge and drank that;‘cause you know east-ern browns are the sec-ond most venomoussnake in the world,”Somerville said.” Ifyou panic it makes itworse.” He called theambulance and wasgiven the anti-venom,but suffered an allergicreaction to the medi-cine and is still in thehospital three weekslater, which Somervillecalls a “doublewhammy.”

Agreement continued from page 1the mid 2000s.

The way the councilleft the matter on Tues-day evening, the attor-ney for FMB, inconjunction with CityAttorney Bruce Lein-back, will draft theagreement for presenta-tion to the council at itsnext meeting on April 1,at which time the finalplat should be ap-proved.

The reason for theunusual agreement —which applies only tothe sewer line, not thealready installed waterline — goes back to thecircumstances sur-rounding the original

approval of the develop-ment about 2005. Thosecircumstances involvedvagueness and ambigu-ity in the legal languagespelling out the contrac-tual responsibilities ofthe city and developer,leaving open to inter-pretation which of twowas ultimately respon-sible for installation ofthe sewer line.

Subsequently, therecession happened; thedeveloper forfeited onthe project, which ishow FMB came to ownthe property; and thesubdivision languished,except for the develop-ment of a few of the

original 11 lots. FMB’s attempt to re-

vive the project comesin light of the perceivedeconomic recovery andits institutional hope ofrecouping some finan-cial benefit from theproperty.

City officials hadconditionally approvedthe final plat in Decem-ber, pending the resolu-tion of the sewer lineissue.

spill. The latest suitseeks to hold the nameddefendants accountablefor oil spill related in-juries to the state’s en-vironment.

Meanwhile, theFDEP on March 3began soliciting grantapplications to fundstormwater projectsand other “non-pointsource” managementpractices, a process thatit will continue throughMay 23.

The solicitation fol-lows the U.S. Environ-mental ProtectionAgency’s (EPA) recentaward of a $6.14 milliongrant to the FDEP in-tended to be used to as-sist local governmentsaccomplish water qual-ity restoration projects.

The EPA’s formula-based funding is specif-ically intended for theprotection and restora-tion of watersheds af-fected by non-pointsource pollution — orpollutants transportedby urban and agricul-tural stormwaterrunoff. Examples ofsuch pollutants wouldbe fertilizers, pesti-cides, animal waste andseptic tank discharges. Projects eligible forthese so-called 319grants include urbanstormwater retrofits;septic tank pollutionabatement; silviculture(forestry) best manage-ment practices; erosionand sediment controlprojects; and low im-pact development.

The funds may beawarded for construc-tion, project-relatedmonitoring and project-related public educa-tion. Not eligible for thefunding are the costs ofthe project design, engi-neering, land acquisi-tion, and activitiesrequired by federal per-mit.

Project sponsorsmust provide a mini-mum 40 percent non-federal match, whichmay come from local ex-penditures on in-kindservices such as stafftime and contract ad-ministration, as wellas design, engineering,monitoring, or publiceducation. Other fed-eral funds and land ac-quisition costs may notbe used as match. Stateagencies, local govern-ments, colleges and uni-versities, non-profitorganizations, publicutilities and water man-agement districts maysponsor projects.

Awards are tar-geted at projects de-signed to restore“impaired” springs,rivers, lakes, and estu-aries — water bodiesthat do not meetFlorida’s stringentwater quality stan-dards. The Departmentranks projects for fund-ing based on estimatedpollutant load reduc-tions,

While traveling through this strange land, Trouble, no joy, houses built on sand;We've hung our harps on the willow trees,How can we sing in this strange land?

Wayfaring strangers traveling through,Cursed and abused with much ado;Longing for home, it will too come,What can we say, What a great day!

Home again with much joy and peace,We hear the cry, "there is no peace;"When the Prince of Peace breaks the clouds, With harps retrieved we'll sing aloud.

needs.

After a long, dark winter, spring's bright sun and warm winds are, well, abreath of fresh air. The only downside? All that sunshine spotlights your leaf-filled gutters, cracked sidewalks and the dead plants in last year's flower beds.Dwight Barnett, a certified master inspector with the American Society ofHome Inspectors, shared this checklist to help you target the areas that needmaintenance so you can get your chores done quickly, leaving you time to gooutside and play in the sunshine

1: Have a qualified heating and cooling contractor clean and service the outside unit of the air condition-ing system. Clean coils operate more efficiently, and an annual service call will keep the system working atpeak performance levels. Change interior filters on a regular basis.

2: Check your gas- and battery-powered lawn equipment to make sure it is ready for summer use. Cleanequipment and sharp cutting blades will make yardwork easier.

3: Check for loose or leaky gutters. Improper drainage can lead to water in the basement or crawl space.Make sure downspouts drain away from the foundation and are clear and free of debris.

4:Use a screwdriver to probe the wood trim around windows, doors, railings and decks. Make repairs nowbefore the spring rains do more damage to the exposed wood.
