As strong thunderstorms impact our area, a large amount of rainfall is expected. The Wakulla County Health Department feels it is important for your family to be prepared for issues related to flooding.

Moving Flood Water

During flooding, the greatest threat comes from moving water. The deeper the moving water, the greater the threat. People should avoid driving in moving water, regardless of the size of their vehicle.

The Wakulla County Historical Society has a ton of things going on. They are continuing their efforts with the museum and the heritage village and pursuing a grant for the Heritage Village that will help further the progress with that project. They are also getting close to opening the first floor of the museum and archives and have also stepped up fundraising efforts.

Relay For Life

The Wakulla County Relay for Life Committee announced that the final countdown to Relay 2009 is underway. Event Chair Dalynda Vause commented, “Relay really begins to come together over these next few weeks. However, there is still time to register a team and we always welcome new participants. We also want to honor and recognize more survivors this year. Each year we honor cancer survivors at a community reception and during the event itself.”

The local musicians featured on the “From the Heart Music Hour” are scheduling regular performances at Hamaknockers Oasis in Ochlockonee Bay.

The radio show, hosted by Sopchoppy musician and recording engineer Rick Ott, promotes the local music scene, and airs on WOCY 106.5 every Monday night at 7 p.m. The show is also available online at oysterradio.com.

On March 21, Ott and his Rick Ott Band will host a show at Hamaknockers Oasis featuring Mimi & The Hearndogs and singer Lindsay Evans – both of whose music has been played on the radio show.
