  • Health reform to help

    As lawmakers work out the details of health care reform, one sweeping new provision winning widespread support would set up a new national insurance program to help older adults and people with disabilities live in their homes and communities instead of in nursing homes.

  • We found another animal in need

    Sorry everyone for another one in need but this boy is very urgent.

    He has two strikes against him already. One he is a bulldog and two he is not vetted. But please hear his story.

    Animal Control was called out to a dog in a create on the side of the road. At first they thought he had fallen out of a truck, perhaps that is what happen, we aren’t for sure, but no one has called for him from either Leon or Wakulla.

    When Animal Control got there they found a white bulldog sleeping in the blue create on the edge of Springhill Road.

  • With Republican gains, Wakulla wins

    Republicans are gaining ground every day. Republican candidates have stretched their lead over Democrats to six points in the Generic Congressional Ballot. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone surveys show that 43 percent would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate, while 37 percent would opt for his or her Democratic opponent. Republicans have held the lead for more than four months.

    This will only increase as the current administration continues to show that they are truly out of touch with the American people on many important issues.

  • Trail plan deserves support

    In reading your Dec. 3 article entitled “Trail Plan Praised and Rejected,” I think you give the wrong impression of the facts.

    While it’s true the county commissioners “praised” Commissioner Kessler’s project and were in general agreement, along with regional government and citizens’ groups, there has been no “rejection” of the plan.

    This plan has never been rejected by any official body and is progressing through the system.

  • Port Leon tour rescheduled

    Thank you for the publishing the article about the tour to the ghost town of Port Leon in last week’s paper. Unfortunately the heavy rains earlier in the week left the dirt road impassable and the tour has been rescheduled for Saturday, Jan. 2.

    The St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge and the St. Marks Waterfronts Partnership were pleased with the many reservations and hope that the response for the Jan. 2 tour will also be great. Port Leon has a fascinating history as a short-lived competitor of the City of St. Marks for the lucrative cotton trade in the 1800s.

  • Florida’s economic future is in clean energy

    As the world’s attention turns to international climate and clean energy talks in Denmark this month, Floridians should know there is enormous potential for growth in our already thriving clean energy sector.

    That’s why it’s so important that our Senators support climate and energy legislation that will be debated soon in the U.S. Senate.

  • Trail is another forest use

    I appreciate the coverage that The Wakulla News has given to the proposed Bike Loop in Wakulla County.

    With respect to the portion of that route through the Apalachicola National Forest, a certain melodrama has grown around the issue and it follows a time-worn script: loud local protest erupts in response to a usage change proposed for a chunk of federal land. The protagonists are the people who live close to that seemingly free resource and who want to defend “The Way Things Have Always Been.”

  • Volunteers needed at center

    I am writing to everyone because the Wakulla Pregnancy Center is so vital to our community and I personally see how much good it does.

    It was shared that one of our clients wouldn’t have been able to keep her baby without the help of this ministry.

    The center has touched more than 100 women’s lives in our 22 months since we opened our doors.

    We are desperately in need of volunteers and are very close to having to close our doors, or at least cut back to just a few days a week, because we are so shorthanded.

  • Thanks is given by two families

    We want to say how much your love and prayers has meant to all of us.

    This has been a great loss and we don’t have the words to express all that has been done. The hugs, visits, cards, food, but mainly your friendship. Wakulla County is a great place to live because of people like you. God will make a way for everyone involved. Thanks again and may God richly bless you.

  • Fundraiser for the children was a great success, thank you

    Thank you to everyone who participated in the bake sale/food fundraiser and craft show at Shell Point to raise money for the children of Wakulla County.

    The chili, Brunswick stew, pulled pork and home-baked goods were wonderful and disappeared quickly. Special thanks to the ladies who manned the food counter. We couldn’t do this without you. Thank you to the garage sale workers and to The Wakulla News for the article promoting our annual fundraiser. Thank you to the Apalachee Bay Volunteer Fire Department for the use of their building.
