For Taylor County High School biology teacher Patricia Joe (P.J.) Piland,

who was chosen to attend the Keystone Science School’s 2014 Key Issues Institute, her trip to Colorado proved to be both a unique

professional development program and a profoundly personal experience.

Piland’s trip was sponsored by the Georgia-

Pacific Foundation. She was one of 10 teachers chosen from Georgia-Pacific’s facility communities in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,

Georgia, Mississippi, Texas and Wisconsin.

Although the program began June 24, for Piland, the journey to Colorado began much earlier with an e-mail from Superintendent of Schools Paul Dyal seeking applicants.

“What I had to do was fill out an application and then write an essay on how I was trying to impact environmental education in this community. So I wrote about how I have a recycling bin in my classroom and how I have students who I don’t even teach bringing by their recycling.”

Piland finished the application and the essay and submitted them, although she felt there was little chance she would actually be chosen. Then she received a call in the middle of class last spring, although at first it seemed she had been right about her slim chances..

“When they called, they made it sound like I didn’t get it. It was pretty funny, because they said, ‘You should be honored you were considered.’ Things like that. Then they said, ‘So you should be really happy that you’re actually going.’

For Taylor County High School Teacher Patricia Joe (P.J.) Piland, her week-long trip to Colorado for the Keystone Science Schools 2014 Key Issues Institute was one of professional development and personal triumph. She is shown above celebrating after climbing to see the continental divide in 19 degree weather. “We went at 5 a.m. so we saw the sunrise over the continental divide,” Piland said. “That was so cool.”

Temporary bridge opening delayed

The traffic shift originally scheduled for this week on U.S. 27 over the Fenholloway River east of Perry has been rescheduled to July 29, weather permitting.

The traffic shift to the temporary bridge is necessary while the existing bridge is removed and a new bridge is constructed, officials said.

A temporary metal bridge built to the south of the existing bridge will carry traffic over the Fenholloway allowing the roadway to remain open to traffic during the construction of the new bridge. The speed limit will be reduced to 45 mph.

The new bridge will remain a two-lane bridge with 12-foot travel lanes and 10-foot-wide emergency lanes.

The planned opening of the temporary bridge over the Fenholloway River on U.S. 27, originally scheduled for this week, has been delayed until Tuesday, July 29.

Rejected city candidate drops case

Judge denies Sadler’s request due to delay in filing with court

Circuit Judge Greg Parker denied a request from William Carl Sadler Sr. to stop the issuance of absentee ballots for the upcoming Aug. 26 primary election until the court could hear his claim that he was wrongly kept off the ballot as a city council candidate.

In his order filed Friday, July 18, Judge Parker stated that while his position regarding Sadler’s allegations was that, if true, they “would present a legal basis for concluding that the city acted arbitrarily and capriciously,” he ultimately concluded Sadler waited too long to file his complaint with the court and that delaying the election at this point would cause “calamity and confusion.”

In a statement Monday given to the Taco Times by his attorney Sally Roberts, Sadler said, “I respect the judge’s decision that emergency relief would likely cause confusion at this time. Some ballots have already been sent out and more are being mailed out this week. To prevent any further confusion or possible delay in the election process, I have dropped my complaint. Although I regret that I will not have the opportunity to serve at this time, I want to thank everyone that has shown their support for me.”

Roberts first filed with the court on July 11 seeking emergency relief against the Perry City Council for its

Holtons settle horse debate after 8 months?It has been eight months

since Tonya and Stacy Holton were initially cited for having horses on their property within the city limits in violation of current zoning and land use regulations.

In the interim, the couple unsuccessfully petitioned the city council to redress the violation, claiming actions

taken by a prior council allowed the horses to be “grandfathered in.”

After weeks of counter discussions between the parties, the couple was officially noticed a second time (Feb. 12, 2014) of the violation and the case was referred to the city’s code enforcement magistrate for a

March 3 hearing.At that hearing, the Holtons

asked for, and were granted, a 90-day extension in order to raise the $1,300 needed to file a land use/zoning change for their property located off U.S. 27 East.

However, at the end of the 90-day extension, the couple remained in violation

and had not filed a land use/zoning request, official hearing minutes show.

Tonya Holton, who subsequently declared her candidacy for an open city council seat and filed a federal lawsuit against the city, asked the magistrate to hold the horse violation “in abeyance” until her lawsuit

against the city was resolved.Holton further stated

she “really did not want to apply for rezoning for her property due to the fact it is not contiguous to any other property zoned agriculture and would, therefore, be considered by most to be

Dear Editor:A while back there was

an article in the paper about the SHIP Program. About how they just a sum of money to help people in our community with fixing or repairing their homes or even building them a new one.

Well, being a home owner myself and also in need of a new roof and some work inside the home to make it easier for my disabled girlfriend to get around in her wheel chair, I was happy to see that there was some help for me at last. So I went out to the airport when I was told to and got the paper work and I felt so good knowing that help was

just a few pen strokes away. It wasn’t until I started to

read the paper work when my hopes hit the floor with a resounding “thud.” I came to the part where it said that as the homeowner I would need to have full coverage homeowners insurance before they could do anything. Now here’s where things get interesting. To get full coverage homeowners insurance, your house has to be in good shape, but my house is not in good shape hence the reason why I need help from SHIP, but they will not help unless I have full coverage homeowners insurance. Wow what a wonderful catch 22 that is.

Here’s another funny

thing about this too. Full coverage homeowners insurance in the state of Florida is not cheap and I cannot afford it to begin with in the first place and I may be wrong but I’m sure that anyone needing help from SHIP could not afford it either. It’s just sad that people who really need the help that is offered can’t get it because they can’t afford it.

I guess I’ll just have to keep tarping my roof and emptying out the buckets of rain water from inside. I’ve made it this far, I guess I can keep going until I find the help I need or the roof falls in.

Letters to the Editor

Wednesday, July 23, 2014

After five days of salads, tofu and vegetarian lasagna atop polenta, I cut a swath through the airport in Charlotte, N.C., to Big Bad Dan’s Burger Shack where I smiled at a hamburger and French fries before cannibalizing both.

That’s where I saw her.She shimmied into the burger

bar, right before me, and the Red Sea parted. Even the French fries saluted. She wore a Ralph Lauren blouse and Coach shoes, carried a Vera Bradley tote and a Michael Kors purse. Immediately, all men within the restaurant were her hostages.

I arrived with very discreet labels, purchased on sale, and looked like a Sunday School teacher. I always look like a Sunday School teacher.

Only two seats were available at the wall of glass which allowed restaurant patrons to watch jets land and depart. She picked the seat closest to a man who fancied himself to be Kevin Costner and I took the other empty seat, distancing her from an overweight man who seemed to be a perfect companion for a burger.

“Jump right up,” she said to me, patting the vinyl bar stool beside the seat she had claimed, and that’s when I noted the Tri-Delta smile, the dark hair out of a bottle, the shiny red fingernails and lips.

I was too tired to notice if she was just sweet and Southern, or if the “jump right up” was a short joke. It really didn’t matter. I had been up since 5:30 a.m. and still had one more flight to Jacksonville before a two-hour drive home. It was 7 p.m. She couldn’t hurt my feelings if she tried.

Despite my physical exhaustion, my eavesdropping abilities were not diminished.

I passed the ketchup to my burger buddy as we watched the crew below playing with the lighted sticks which guide aircraft to appropriate slots. None of it inspired confidence.

Just as I finished placing my order for all the fat grams the staff could fit on a plate, she tilted her head toward the waiter and said with a wink, “I’ll have a Cobb Salad.”

Of course she would.I had been in Utah with

ecologically-sensitive friends who drank water all day and ate bean sprouts. I had survived a 2.5 mile hike and a shorter one that ended with mountain-top yoga. And I had survived tofu.

I asked pointedly, “You don’t

have sweet tea, do you?”Well, of course they do.Her friend, who was slightly

tanned with thinning blonde hair, explained that he was headed to Stuart, Fla., where he would fish with family members—an annual tradition.

She was enthralled with his story. She laughed, fluttering her eyelashes and perfectly painted nails. She relayed her limited amount of fishing expertise and fingered the monogram on her Michael Kors purse.

I wasn’t sure how the Costner look-alike would do with the fish in Stuart, but it was clear to me that he had fallen hook, line and sinker for this woman in name brands.

It was inappropriate to listen but I needed entertainment, so I had a burger, fries and a side of flirtation.

Deep into the conversation, he resorted to this sage philosophy, “I don’t understand why so many men think that a woman’s appearance is all that matters.”

I wanted to choke and require the Heimlich maneuver, but I was afraid no one would notice and I’d just die on the floor. Instead, I cleared my throat as if to say, “Really? That’s the best you can do?”

But she was as smitten with him, as he was with her. “Well, it’s so nice to hear a male perspective,” she said, and even fat boy to my right chuckled a bit.

“There’s more than planes landing here,” he mumbled under his breath, and I toasted him with my iced tea.

To celebrate, he ordered another refill.

All we shared was ketchup, but the couple to our left shared everything but keys—at least while I was watching and listening, and I always watch and listen.

U.S. Airways pushed jet after jet into the various runways, and parked just as many to the left and the right. I sat there watching, as the hamburger satisfied my longing for red meat and clogged my veins, giving thanks that I was married and no longer playing the mindless games of dating.

“Boarding now for Gate C-26 to Jacksonville,” the announcement said, and I grabbed my bag and looked toward home where it is required for men to believe that a woman’s appearance isn’t all that matters.

And suddenly, going home was all that mattered.

Midweek Muddle

Plus 2 rabbits, 2 ducks

Animal shelter received 96 dogs, 58 cats in JuneDear Editor:

One would think that by the end of May, spring would have begun to fade into summer and there would be fewer shelter intakes. In May the animal shelter welcomed one red-tailed boa, one pig, 13 chickens, three bunnies, two raccoons and two fawns. These were in addition to the 91 dogs and 97 cats received for the month.

On Monday, June 2, the shelter received 18 animals and on Wednesday, June 4, 25 dogs were turned in. The final number of dogs for June was 96 and 58 cats. Other intakes for June included one bird, one raccoon, two rabbits, two ducks and 10 eggs. Where is the partridge for the pear tree?

In the last few weeks the shelter has had at any given time up to 75 cats in a facility designed to hold less than half that number. Fortunately, rescue organizations from other areas were able to take most all of the puppies, all of the smaller dogs under 20-25 pounds, a handful of cats/kittens and all of the wildlife. For Taylor County residents, there is no animal shelter adoption fee, but the animal must be spayed or neutered, if that has not already been done.

While it is more rewarding to tell positive stories, the reality is there

are many more stories that do not have happy endings. Helping Hands of the Shelter, Inc., puts many of its dollars earned at the discount vaccination clinics sponsored by our local veterinarians into the Nancy Turner Spay and Neuter Fund. This fund assists seniors, veterans and low-income families with the cost of spaying or neutering their pets. In fact, if certain criteria are met, the entire cost of the procedure is paid. One male cat who is not neutered can bring 2,500 helpless kittens into the world each year. These unwanted kittens are often brought into the shelter.

The abuse of unwanted cats and dogs is ongoing and of great concern to the animal control officers and Helping Hands of the Shelter. Have you noticed a dog chained to a post in the hot sun without shade, shelter, food or water? That is animal cruelty. They are powerless and innocent and deserve much better from those responsible for their care.

It is a constant struggle to obtain funding, maintain an old cement block building, fight the roaches that were at home before the animals were moved to this space, find room for all the animals brought to the shelter and educate the public to the importance of spaying and neutering pets.

The animal control officers have a large area to cover, running from the extreme north end of the county (Shady Grove) to the opposite end of the county (Steinhatchee) and the city of Perry. Time is spent contacting rescue organizations, taking pictures and sending out emails in an effort to place the dogs and cats where they will find a permanent home.

Helping Hands of the Shelter, Inc., holds various fund raising efforts to earn dollars used to purchase shelter items. One of our county commissioners suggests the organization look for county or city property that could provide a location for a more modern building with appropriate kennels for the cats and dogs. The floor kennels Helping Hands purchased a few years ago at a cost of $3,000 have seen their better days, and efforts to locate and purchase replacement kennels in the heavier weight gauge have been unsuccessful so far. However, the search continues.

A couple of budget planning sessions ago, one county commissioner suggested the animal shelter was not needed in Taylor County. Not true. What is needed is more attention from the public.

Resident upset with SHIP program’s homeowners insurance requirement

‘City council should build a skate park for older kids’Dear Editor:

When you’re about as old as me, you want something to do besides watching TV or playing video games all summer.

So please city council, give us a skate park. Us older kids need something to do besides one of the many parks or the boring old splashpad.

Who else is with me?And it would also help to

have a skate shop because who would want to go all the way to Tallahassee or Gainesville just to get a skateboard?

there. They never ring through to your room unless it’s really important, so my students were sitting there and I was saying, ‘I’m going. I’m going. I’m going to Colorado.’ And the kids are like, ‘Aww.’ And I asked, ‘What is wrong? This is great.’ They thought I was going forever. It was hilarious.

“To be quite honest, I didn’t think they would pick me because there were so many applicants and they only took 10,” she said. “And that was out of the entire Georgia-Pacific Foundation. So it was awesome to be picked.”

Piland did assure her students that she was only going for a week, but based on her description of her time in Colorado, it was a powerful week.

Next month she will begin her third year at Taylor County High School after 10 years in Wakulla County. In addition to biology, she will be adding advanced placement environmental science to her workload, which coincidentally fits quite well into the theme of this year’s institute: “Bringing Environmental Issues to the Classroom.”

“The professional development part of it was to teach us about a framework to use within our classrooms to present environmental issues and allow the students to problem solve without introducing any bias,” Piland said. “Really allow the kids to think about the problem, use evidence to determine the problem, and to come up with a solution.

“It was very real-world and it’s definitely something I can use in my class. I can use it in biology. I certainly can use it in AP environmental science. It’s a really good way to just develop a thinker instead of how kids can now just Google stuff. That becomes the way they think. They don’t have to think for themselves as much as maybe they used to. So this is great for that.”

But not all of the professional development work was done in a classroom.

“We went to a river and did water testing and did all kinds of stuff like water flow and the velocity of the water flow,” she said. “We spent the good part of a day in a river. We had to wear hip waders because the river was snow melt, so it was just barely above freezing. It was crazy cold. For me, I’m not used to that because I’ve been in Florida all my life, but I put those waders on and went in and had a blast and learned a lot.

“I did a lot of water testing because they have a lot of mines up there. When they mined for gold, they just left these huge piles of waste rock and it had a lot of things in it like arsenic and zinc and stuff that is really bad for people to be exposed to. The water flowing out from the snow melt is coming through that and down into these rivers. So they’re polluted, but they’re working really hard to clean them up.

“It’s really interesting to see that even in such a pristine and beautiful environment, they’re facing issues just like everybody else.”

In addition to the institute itself, the program will also be shipping lab supplies to the high school for her to use.

“If I use their framework, that’s great and I probably will this year. But I can also tailor it specifically for environmental concerns in our area.

“It was the best professional development I’ve ever been to. One thing that is very valuable for a teacher is networking. At this particular institute, I was there with teachers from California to Canada. Now I have made these lasting relationships that will allow

me to network with them. We face the same problems. It doesn’t matter if you’re in Quebec or Taylor County. Education is a battle many times. You get unique perspectives. The best part of professional development is talking amongst the teachers.

“At this particular institute, there were language teachers, history teachers, science teachers and math teachers. It is interdisciplinary because this framework is interdisciplinary. You can confine it all to a science classroom or you could use it to team with other teachers in other areas of your school to kind of bring it all together for the kids and let them see it from each of those different classrooms.

“So it’s really unique in that respect. Usually, when a teacher goes to professional development, it’s for your type teacher. You’re going to go and it’s all going to be science teachers or all going to be history teachers. This is unique for the fact that they brought people from every facet of education and they made sure to mix us appropriately so we would have different opinions. It was really crazy how we gelled so quick. We became a team.”

Piland was one of 28 teachers in her group, which took part in the first of three sessions planned this summer. But in the end, the trip turned out to be much more than simply a professional development assignment. It became personal.

“I had never seen snow before in my life,” she said. “When I first got there, I was like a five-year-old. We landed at Denver International and then we had an hour and a half bus ride to Summit County, which is where Keystone is. I was literally up against the window the entire time. I thought the snow on top of the Rocky Mountains was sand. I asked, ‘Is that sand?’ And they said, ‘No, that’s snow.’ And I thought, ‘But it’s June.’ I was the only person in our entire group who had never seen snow, so it was fascinating for everybody else when we got to the snow. They were all taking their phones out and videotaping me because I was like a little kid.”

Even more than seeing snow for the first time, the trip allowed Piland to prove something to herself, serving as a step in a much longer and more arduous journey than simply flying to Colorado. In 2007, she was upended by a hog--she was a part-time pig farmer, Piland explains. The injury, coupled with a pre-existing birth defect, collapsed her spine.

“I went to Emory in Atlanta and was reconstructed. I’m

full titanium top to bottom on my spine. I have 14 rods and 28 screws, bolts and a shock absorber. Seven years ago, I couldn’t walk. I had a walker.

“So for me to be able to start at 11,900 feet and climb the continental divide in 19-degree weather with 30 mph winds, and make it, I was crying because personally that was like, ‘I can’t believe how far I’ve come.’ You know, it was just amazing that I could get there.

“Personally for me, it was

a challenge. Every optional activity, I did it. We’re going to climb this, I’m going. We’re going to do this, I’m going. I didn’t miss a thing. July 3 is the anniversary of my surgery. So I was up there the week before that. I just kept thinking back to how far I’ve come physically. It made it even more special to me.

“These are experiences you can’t really ever forget,” she said, adding that she plans to show photos from her trip to her students at the start of the new school year.

Reflecting on her trip, she is truly thankful to those made the adventure possible, specifically Georgia-Pacific and the Georgia-Pacific Foundation.

“I wish I could figure out a way to say thank you other than saying thank you. It just doesn’t seem adequate. I said thank you to everybody I could think to say thank you to. It was just a great experience.

“I also want to thank Taylor County schools because I wouldn’t have been aware of the opportunity if wasn’t for

Superintendent Dyal. He’s the one who sent the e-mail and made us aware of the opportunity. It’s not a new opportunity, but it’s new to me and new to this area,” she said.

“The trip was professional and personal for me, because I saw so many things I had never seen before and I did so many things I had never done before. All of that you can bring back to your classroom and it makes you a better teacher.

“You’re more interesting,” she added with a laugh.

Seniors insist: You’re never too old to go to prom

Dancing was the order of the evening when the Taylor County Senior Citizens Center, Inc., held its 2014 Mardi Gras Prom.

“The seniors had such a great time, from great food served by board members and staff, to door prizes, and dancing the night away,” said Beth Flowers, executive director of the center.

Bill Gunter and Peggy Sisk were the royalty for the evening, named prom king and queen. But the others “just felt like royalty,” Flowers said.

“We certainly appreciate Georgia Pacific, Walmart, Goodman’s, Barclay’s, Huddle House, South House, Betty Hathcock, Mike Frazier and Winn Dixie for their generous donations to ensure that our senior citizens had a wonderful evening,” she added.

‘spot zoning,’ which she said she didn’t think had ever been done before.”

The magistrate stated she was not in favor of holding the complaint, but was agreeable to giving the couple additional time to apply for rezoning.

She ordered the property to be in violation and granted the Holtons another 45 days to bring the property in compliance with city codes by having the horses removed

or by applying for a land use change and rezoning.

Those 45 days ended last week and, according to city officials, the violation has been abated.

“My understanding is Ms. Holton posted on her Facebook page that the horses have been moved,” City Manager Bob Brown said Tuesday.

“The code enforcement officer has gone by the property and has not seen horses so to the best of our knowledge, she has complied,” he said.

Last Tuesday, July 15, Holton posted on her social media page that a nearby landowner (whose property is correctly zoned agricultural to allow horses) had offered to let the couple house their horses there.

Two days later, on the 45th day of the magistrate’s order, the Holtons removed the horses from their property, according to her postings.

On Tuesday, Holton confirmed the horses have been relocated, providing the following statement to the Taco Times: “We are

heartbroken over our horses, Trouble and Cody, being removed from our home where they have lived since 1998. We have temporarily relocated them to land that was so graciously offered to us by a kind lady whom we have never even met and no longer lives in Perry, but has followed this story. While many were under the assumption that we could simply pay $1,300 to rezone our property, this is not the case. To rezone our property for agricultural use would be ‘spot’ zoning and

is against policy. Through this entire ordeal, one thing we have been forced to learn is that the majority of the current governing body, including our own district representative, is not willing to take any legal measures that will accommodate our family. In fact, they have stretched and twisted policy and more, to bring this devastating enforcement against us, such as voting to invalidate a previous council’s actions that permitted us to have our horse.”

The zoning issue spawned additional complaints against other city property owners who also had horses on their land.

Of those complaints, which were spearheaded by City Councilwoman Shirlie Hampton, all but one has been brought into compliance.

“The remaining open complaint involves Percy Jacobs,” Brown said.

“We have been in contact with Mr. Jacobs’ attorney and expect a resolution soon.”

decision not to qualify him as a candidate in the District 4 city council race during the June 24 meeting.

A court hearing on the Sadler case was held Thursday, July 17, during which Judge Parker said the filed request could be considered a “petition for issuance of a writ of mandamus,” which would ask the court to force the city to add Sadler’s name to the list of candidates filed with the Taylor County Supervisor of Elections office.

At that hearing, Judge Parker indicated he was

inclined to grant such a petition once filed, issuing an “alternative writ of mandamus,” which would have ordered the City of Perry to show cause why Sadler’s request should not be granted.

At the conclusion of the hearing, Roberts moved for a temporary injunction to delay the mailing of absentee ballots by the Supervisor of Elections set for this week. Judge Parker declined, stating that the supervisor was not party to the action filed. A few hours later, Roberts filed an amended complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief adding Supervisor of Elections Dana

Southerland, in her official capacity, as a defendant.

In his subsequent order, Judge Parker said, “Upon review of the amended complaint and motion for emergency injunctive relief, the court concludes that it should now enter this order which departs from the announced ruling, which was based upon the original complaint.”

Judge Parker continued that the amended complaint “alleged additional facts that, on their face, and along with original remaining allegations and the record herein, leave the court with the view that neither [request] be granted

due to an excessive and unexplained delay by Mr. Sadler in seeking relief with this court.”

According to the order, on July 10, the day before Sadler first filed with the court, the supervisor of elections mailed 46 absentee ballots which included the names of city council candidates, with another 2,000 set to be mailed this week.

“Mr. Sadler had up to 13 days to seek injunctive relief against the supervisor of elections to prevent or delay the mailing of the ballots on July 10,” Judge Parker said in the order. “There is no allegation as to why this delay occurred, and certainly

no explanation as to why injunctive relief against the supervisor of elections was not sought until July 17, only a few business days before 2,000 more absentee ballots are set to be mailed.”

Judge Parker went on to cite a 1970 Florida Supreme Court case, in which the court denied emergency relief based on the plaintiff’s delay in seeking relief concerning an upcoming election.

“Here in the instant case, the emergency relief sought would logically and reasonably be expected to cause calamity and confusion and injuriously affect the rights of third parties,” Judge Parker continued in

the order. “The amended complaint alleges that the primary election is scheduled for Aug. 26, 2014, and that ballots have already been printed (at least absentee ballots) and that some have already been mailed. The ballots obviously contain offices sought by other candidates. There certainly is no indication that the instant council race is the only local race on the ballot. In the event any state or national races are on those ballots, the disturbing ripple effect of an injunction entered at this late hour is unknown, especially given that 46 early absentee ballots have already been sent.”

FWC will discuss red snapper at workshops

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has scheduled a series of Gulf of Mexico red snapper workshops for recreational stakeholders beginning in late July to discuss state and federal management of recreational red snapper.

The workshops will also explore potential future

approaches to managing this fishery in an effort to ensure optimal access for Florida’s resident and visiting anglers.

Anglers who would like to share their ideas and help improve management are encouraged to attend.

Geoff Wallat, UF/IFAS Florida Sea Grant Agent for Taylor County, plans

to travel to the meeting in Carrabelle on July 31. He can be reached at 838-3508, ext. 305.

All meetings will be from 6 to 8:30 p.m. local time and are set for:

• July 28: Pensacola, Pensacola City Hall (2nd-floor Hagler Mason room), 222 W. Main St.

• July 29: Destin, Destin Community Center, 101 Stahlman Ave.

• July 30: Panama City, Florida State University - Panama City, lecture hall of Holley Center, 4750 Collegiate Drive

• July 31: Carrabelle, Carrabelle City Hall cafeteria, 1001 Gray Ave.

• Aug. 11: St. Petersburg, Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, 3rd-floor conference room, 100 Eighth Ave. SE.

Red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico off Florida are managed by the FWC in state waters (from shore to 9 nautical miles) and by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council in federal waters (beyond 9 nautical miles).

These snapper are largely harvested in federal waters, but also occur and are harvested recreationally in state waters off northwest Florida. Because of management constraints, the federal season has consistently been shortened for several years in a row even though the recreational quota, or total poundage of fish that could be caught by anglers, has increased and the red snapper population has improved, officials said. This year’s federal season was the shortest yet, at nine

days. Florida’s state season was 52 days.

The FWC is seeking input from recreational anglers about how to better manage recreational harvest of this species at the state and federal level while continuing to rebuild the fishery. Several management options that are being considered for federal waters by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council will be discussed, including sector separation, which entails dividing the federal recreational red snapper quota into separate private-angler and for-hire quotas; an individual fishing quota (IFQ) program for federally permitted charter and head boats, similar to the existing program for commercial vessels, which allots a specific portion of fish to individual vessels; and regional management, in which the recreational fishery in federal waters could be managed on a state-by-state basis.

These workshops offer stakeholders an opportunity to share their expectations for the red snapper fishery and their ideas on potential management options for state and federal waters.

Please call 850-487-0554 or email Marine@MyFWC.com for more information. Visit MyFWC.com/Fishing and click on “Saltwater” and “Rulemaking” for more on these workshops.

The 21st annual Perry-Taylor County Chamber of Commerce Golf Scramble will be held Friday, Aug. 8, at the Perry Golf and Country Club.

Big Bend Hospice recently welcomed Dr. Abdul Hamid Sofi as the new associate medical director, overseeing the care of hospice patients and families in Taylor and Jefferson County.

Sofi is an internist in Perry and is affiliated with Doctors’ Memorial Hospital (DMH). As part of the Big Bend Hospice team, he will be available to provide care to hospice patients at

DMH when inpatient care is required.

Sofi received his medical degree from Government Medical College of Jammu and Kashmire in 2000. He completed his internship and two years of residency at the University of Buffalo-Sister’s of Charity Hospital in Buffalo, N.Y., before joining Premier Medical Clinic.

He is board certified in internal medicine and

specializes in ventilator management, stress testing and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS).

Sofi will be joining the Jefferson-Madison-Taylor (JMT) team, working alongside Dr. Julie Fabregas-Schindler, who will continue to serve patients in Madison County.

Schindler has more than 19 years of experience and is affiliated with Madison County Memorial Hospital.

She has served on Big Bend Hospice’s JMT team for more than 10 years.

“We are very excited to welcome Dr. Abdul Sofi to our JMT team,” Big Bend Hospice Chief Medical Director D. Nancy Chorba said.

“Not only will he bring expertise to our current patient care program, but he will continue our tradition of being the community’s

hometown hospice by having a local physician serve in their community.”

Big Bend Hospice has been serving the community since 1983 with compassionate end-of-life care along with grief and loss counselors in Leon, Jefferson, Taylor, Madison, Gadsden, Liberty, Franklin and Wakulla counties.
