ur April issue contains quite a lot of information, some of which waseither requested or suggested by you, our readers. On page 9,information regarding the use of golf carts within Killearn Lakes isprovided by the Leon County Sheriff ’s Office. The roadways inKillearn Lakes are public roads, and must meet fairly restrictive

conditions before the key is even turned on and those carts driven out here. Theprivate roads within Golden Eagle, and a few other private roads, are the onlyexceptions to these restrictions.

April brings back one of the most popular events sponsored by the Fish &Wildlife Committee of the KLHOA. This year, the Annual Kids Fishing Contest

will be held on Saturday, April 30th from 8:00 am until 12:00 pm. Please checkout the contest rules and start times on page 21. Our District 4 County

Commissioner, Bryan Desloge, has provided quite a lot of usefulinformation in his article, found on page 4. The Orchard Pond

toll road will open April 18th, and according to Bryan, you willbe allowed a freebie for the first ten days of its opening. Afterthat, the toll will be $1.19 each way. You may want topurchase a Sun Pass if you plan to travel the toll road often.

Our Business Spotlight features a new local businesscalled My Kid’s Driving, LLC. Susan Hinds is a KillearnLakes mom of three sons, who has founded this business inan effort to help keep our young drivers safe. It is somethingSusan has thought about and has been developing for sometime, and launched the opening just a few weeks ago. I hadthe pleasure of meeting Susan recently, and her enthusiasm and

bubbly personality are quite infectious. We wish her good luckwith this new venture.Finally, as we celebrate Mom’s special day this May 8th, I would

like to wish my lovely 87- years-young mother in Georgia, and all othermoms, a very Happy Mother’s Day! Till next time.....

Editor’s NoteFlorida is the one state where you may wake up in the mornings and you need

to turn on the heat but by the afternoon you turn on the air conditioning becausethe sun has heated things up. This year it seems we really didn’t have a winter, yetthe first day of spring we had a frost warning. You’ve got to love it. We are verylucky to have an early profusion of colors that can only make you think of springtime!

Nancy C. JohnsonOperations Director, Bookkeeper & Editor

Can’t you feel it! Spring is justaround the corner. The dogwoods, crepemyrtles and azaleas will be in full bloomsoon and with that will come mowing oflawns and pruning the shrubs, but isn’t itthe time of year we all love so much.Leon County dresses up in her best floraand fauna attire and we realize just howfortunate we are to have the quality of lifewe so enjoy. There’s no place like home!!

The following are some updates foryou. Please let me know if there are other issues of interest or if youhave questions regarding any of these.

Federal Update: On Feb. 24, I had the honor of testifying beforethe U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs'Subcommittee on Regulatory Affairs and Federal Management. As aformer FAC President and current National Association of Counties(NACo) First Vice President, I was charged with making the case forimproving the federal government's process for evaluating and reducingthe harmful impacts of federal mandates on counties and residents."Without improving intergovernmental collaboration in thedevelopment and implementation of federal agency regulations, thesemandates will continue to add another layer of fiscal strain on countiesalready operating under considerable pressure." We will continue towork on the federal and state level to minimize unfunded mandates tolocal government and look forward to wins in this area too.

While in D.C. I had the pleasure of representing the FloridaAssociation of Counties in laying a wreath at the Tomb of theUnknown Soldier. If you have not visited this national treasure, I hopethat one day you will. I can’t say enough about the feelings that washover you as you pay tribute to our fallen soldiers. Please keep thosewho protect and serve in your prayers.

Emergency Medical Service– I am pleased to inform you thatthe Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS)conferred another three-year accreditation to EMS. As a part of theprocess, CAAS conducts an on-site review of EMS to ensure that eachcharacteristic of the accreditation requirements are strictly met. EMSreceived a perfect score on the evaluation and no deficiencies wereidentified during the process. As you may remember, our EMS systembecame the first government-operated EMS system in Florida to meetthe rigorous standards and receive accreditation.

County Leadership Recognition– I thought I would recap your

County’s Leadership Honors. I will be sworn in as the president of theNational Association of Counties in July. County Administrator VinceLong was elected and currently services as the president of the FloridaAssociation of County Managers. County Attorney Herb Thiele waselected by his peers and serves as president of the InternationalMunicipal Lawyers Association. Tourist Development Director LeeDaniel was elected as the president of the Florida Association ofDestination Marketing Organizations. Public Works Senior DesignEngineer George Su was elected to serve as president of the localAmerican Public Works Association, Local Big Bend Branch.

I provide you all this information so that you know the leadershipyou have in your County government. I doubt there is any othergovernment anywhere who has the equivalent. We’re here to serve!

Canopy Roads Advisory Committee– I know many of you areaware this issue that came before the Commission March 8 and to allof you who contacted me sharing your recommendations and concernsand to those who worked on the "Statement to the Community"regarding preservation of our canopy roads – I thank you! I welcomeall the feedback I can get to help in the decision making process.There's obviously some tweaking that needs to be done, but I haveevery faith the committee, with the support of the department andlegal staff will be able to handle it. Having clearer direction regardingtheir responsibilities, regular training of the committee members, andPermitting staff support should help expedite the review process for thecommittee. Of course, having an urban forester at their disposal won'thurt either.

DISTRICT IV PROJECTS

Thomasville/Proctor Rd Recreation Park Property – Thoughtyou might like an update on this. The County bought 100 acres onthe corner of Proctor and Thomasville just north of Chiles High.There's money for this project ($8-10M) that was allocated in the nextround of Blueprint tax dollars that will start in 2019 - I'll push as hardas I can to accelerate the build out and my hope is that in the shortterm (next 2 years or so) we can start cutting some trails for some lightpassive uses. It’s my intent to ask for citizen input on how this isdeveloped. It’s still a long time coming, but the money is there. That’sthe best news of all!

Bradfordville Community Center (Bannerman Rd) – We stillhave continued interest in our classes at the NE Branch Library. We’veadded a fourth fitness class and will feature three art classes in April.

The Bannerman Road Widening – The completion of the roadwidening from Thomasville Rd to 900 feet west of Quail Commonswill be delayed as we’ve had some utility relocation issues. However,

April 2016Bryan's Brief

Leon CountyBoard of County Commissioners

traffic will be shifted to the new roadway, located south of the existingroad, on or about May 1. Drive carefully until everyone gets used tothe new traffic routing. This shift will allow them to move forwardwith the next portion of the project. I should be able to give you moreaccurate completion dates in my next newsletter.

Orchard Pond Toll Road – Plans for the ribbon cutting andfestivities are tentatively scheduled for April 18. The first 10 days afterApril 18 will be free. If you don’t have Sun Pass, you may want tocontact the State to secure one. The existing Orchard Pond Rd willbe converted into a bike pedestrian trail. More information to follow.

Killearn Lakes Sidewalk Installation – The survey of the propertyis complete, but we’ve not yet received the conceptional drawings.Once we receive and approve the drawings a meeting will be scheduledwith the Homeowners Association to go over the plans. You may recallthat the design is for the installation of a sidewalk on Chadwick fromBull Headly to Deerlake and from Deerlake to Journey’s End. They’llalso connect the sidewalk to the small stretch on Pheasant Run wherethere is no sidewalk. This is being done under the Safe Routes ToSchool Initiative and is being funded by the local option Gas Tax andBlueprint 2000 allocations.

Killearn Lakes Unit 2 and Unit 3 Stormwater ProjectImprovements – The actual construction work is complete in thesetwo units, and only a few items are left on the punch list. Those areprimarily landscaping.

Killearn Lakes Unit 1 – is under construction with an eight tonine month completion date if there are no adverse weather conditionsto delay construction. The problem we’re encountering is that this isa designated wetland area protected by State EnvironmentalRegulations and we’re challenged in doing any type construction orrestoration in that area. The work is moving very slowly.

Roadway Restoration – The culverts under Kinhega need to bereplaced and are in the permitting process for design work. We shouldbe moving forward with the installation with those culverts beginningApril. You can expect there to be lane closures when work begins.Repaving of Kinhega will be done when the culvert project is complete.

It's been bitter sweet over the past few months knowing that Iwould be walking my daughter down the aisle at her wedding.Testifying before a congressional meeting and laying a wreath at theTomb of the Unknown Soldier were definite highs that I’m gratefulto share with you.

I consider it an honor and a privilege to serve as your DistrictIV Commissioner and I commit to you that I will continue to dothe best job I can in representing you and our community. Asalways, I welcome your input and appreciate all of you who act as

my eyes in the District. Many of the improvements we’ve alreadymade, or are currently working on, came from citizen suggestionsor observations. As you plan for your neighborhood/homeowner’sassociation meetings, please let me know the dates and times so thatI may join you. Please don’t hesitate to call me if you have anyquestions or concerns, [email protected] or 606-5364.

Putting your child behind the wheel for their first solo drive isone of the scariest moments in a parent’s life. That fear never goesaway.

“My Kid’s Driving, LLC”(MKD) is a brand new, localbusiness that provides parents withthe reassurance that other driversare looking out for your youngdriver when they are on the road.At the same time, knowing there isa monitoring system in place, youryoung driver is more likely to drivethe way you think they do.

Just like truckers and fleetvehicles with “How’s My Driving,”each MKD subscription includes awindow decal that says “Let MeKnow How My Kid’s Driving!” Atoll free number and an extensionfor that specific vehicle are listed onthe decal. When a compliment orcomplaint is called in, the recordingwill be sent directly to the parent’semail in an audio file. It is then upto the parent to determine thevalidity and consequence of thecomplaint. Essentially, this allowsthe community to watch out foryour young driver when you cannot, allowing you to breathe a littleeasier.

According to the National Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration, motor vehicle accidents are the number one cause of

death in teens, and over 5,000 teens (our children) die in car accidentsevery year in the United States. MKD wants to change these statistics,

and help prevent them from everbecoming a reality for you.

If we can influence ourchildren to make better decisionsbehind the wheel, we can literallychange the world.

We are a local business,founded by parents with allyoung drivers in mind.

Your young driver probablywon’t like us, but that is OK.Raising good, healthy children isnot about making friends; it’sabout helping them reachadulthood so they can become theamazing humans we know theywill be.

My Kid’s Driving, LLC isowned and developed by SusanHinds. Susan is a Killearn Lakesneighborhood mom with twoteenagers on the road and anothersoon to follow. She and herhusband, Phil, have lived inKillearn Lakes with their threeboys, Logan, Spencer and Jacob

for 18 years. While they love their beautiful community, theybelieve that the number of young lives that have been lost, even onour quiet streets, is unacceptable. MKD was created because theywant all of our children to be safe, not a statistic.

Business Spotlight


My kids have been a part ofmy real estate career from the verybeginning. They were so youngwhen I started they didn't evenrealize they were coming to workwith me. I have always made surewe got to do something fun whenwe were done showing houses.The most precious gift you cangive your children is the gift ofyour time.

Think of ways you can buildin more time to spend with your kids. Here are some ideas:

• Schedule a regular family outing. One family goes to a movie ona Saturday afternoon, then stops for pizza on the way home. Another athletic family schedules something active every Sunday.One week, they go for a bike ride. The next week may find everyone inline skating. What you do isn't important - but consistency is.

• Find ways for one-on-one time with each child. It is importantto have the whole family together. But, it's also important for each child to get some individual attention. One mom takes a

different child with her as she runs errands. The reward, a stop for ice cream. Another busy dad gets up early on Saturday and makes breakfast for his son.

• Go to your child's activities. When you get a schedule of your child's athletic games or dance performances, write them on thecalendar. You don't have to go to every game, but you should bethere for most of them. Kids love looking in the stands or alongthe sidelines to see your face.

There is nothing better than Tallahassee in the spring. As the azaleasbegin to bloom and the temperatures rise, more and more of ourneighbors will be enjoying the outdoors. For many, that includes takingthe golf cart out for a leisurely ride around the neighborhood or to visitfriends. If you have a golf cart there are just a few rules you need to keepin mind. “Golf cart” means a motor vehicle that is designed andmanufactured for operation on a golf course for sporting or recreationalpurposes and that is not capable of exceeding speeds of 20 miles per hour.In Florida there are specific golf cart laws and regulations governing theusage and construction of “street legal” golf carts. For a “street legal” golfcart you need the following:

• Stop lamps, turn signal lamps, headlamps, tail lamps, parkingbrakes

• Rearview mirrors, reflex reflectors, windshields, seat belts, andVIN’s

• Must be registered and insured in accordance with current regulations

• The drivers of these golf carts must have valid driver’s license

If your golf cart is not registered the following rules apply:

• Golf carts can only be driven on roadways designated for useby golf carts

• Roads designated for golf cart use should be posted with a sign that indicates golf carts are allowed

• Golf carts may not be operated on public roadways by any person under 14 years of age

• If golf carts are allowed on the roads in your neighborhood they also must comply with operational and safety requirements

• If you are operating a golf cart at night it should be equippedwith head lights, brake lights, turn signals, and a windshield

*Florida Statutes 316.212, 316.2125, 316.2126If you have a golf cart please keep all of these rules in mind before

you drive it on the road. No matter what vehicle you drive, please obeyall traffic laws and watch out for pedestrians, so we can all have a safeand happy summer.

Golden Eagle is the only unit in Killearn Lakes that is adesignated golf cart community. All other roads in Killearn Lakes arepublic roadways not designated for use by golf carts. For moreinformation on the use of golf carts in Golden Eagle, please visithttp://www.goldeneaglehoa.org/.

385 million years or so ago, the first trees started to growhere. Until about 50 years ago, the land we live on sustaineditself, or was managed and cared for without waste. Nothingbut time was taken. Plants and animals, people too, lived anddied here; generation after generation. Nothing went towaste. Always, uninterrupted, a never ending and abundantsupply of energy was returned back into soil so the cycle couldbegin again… and again.

Now, even with houses, driveways, patios, and streets,the trees and land don’t produce waste. Sticks and leaves thatfall from the trees can still nourish the land, and provide re-nourishment for the next generation of plants, animals, andpeople. There is plenty of time and space for nature to returnthis energy back to the land. Everything the trees and landproduce is still useful, still valuable. Everything that’s neededto keep Killearn Lakes Plantation yards green is already here.Why throw it away? Why choose to be wasteful?

For the future, in lieu of garbage bags and garbage trucks,choose a space about the size of your washer and drier (at least15 feet from the house). In a big yard, you may want a spacein front and another in back. Excess leaves that aren’t usedto mulch trees and shrubs, can be become a leaf pile that willquickly decompose. Be patient. There will be no smell orattraction for pests. Next to the leaves, the sticks, cut orbroken into manageable lengths, can be piled neatly. Quicklythey crumble, and return energy to the soil below. Life willgo on.

It will be helpful to the entire community to know if youare interested or have questions or suggestions. Please contactme at [email protected] or 850 294 2123.

REEN SPACE

s a state capital and college town, Tallahassee and especially ourKillearn Lakes neighborhood, is filled with experts. Florida’slandscape expert at the Department of Transportation, andprogram coordinator for the “scenic highways”, Jeff Caster,was recently elected again to the Killearn Lakes board.

At work Jeff applies principles of conservation to thestate’s thousands of miles of roadsides. This is good for Florida’seconomy and environment. I googled his name and learned that hewon the 2008 state landscape award for wildflower and butterflygardens. Almost immediately, I called and asked if I could bicycle tohis home so he could give me some suggestions for our Killearn LakesFriendly Yards program.

Jeff took me to his garden refuge, or – “outside man-cave” as onefriend thinks of it. It’s across the street on the vacant lot he and Mimipurchased ten years ago. There was a chill in the air and he had a smallfire pit. Near the fire was a section of gate decorated with an old shoveland horseshoes from his old home place.

There was a big old bell and fenced garden planted with organicbroccoli, peppers, and tomatoes. Milkweed planted on the edge of thevegetable garden helps restore our declining monarch butterflypopulation. He had several compost piles of brush, pine needles andmulch. Fallen logs lined the paths through his forest. Nothing goes towaste and no fertilization or irrigation is required.

When vines were pulled down and out from a small grove of nativesparkleberry trees, it became a wonderland. Each spring they bloomwith beautiful white bell shaped flowers.. His native swamp hibiscuswas grown from collected seed. There’s coreopsis (our state wildflower),mushrooms, and a beautiful patch of smooth green moss. One biglongleaf pine houses a pileated woodpecker nest.

As an alternative to the popular but wildlife unfriendly sago palms,seeds from his native coontie palms are replanted; providing vitalnourishment for the Atala butterfly. A few of the many natives growingin his garden and yard are the saw palmetto, needle palm, holly, plum,

and blueberry. Jeff even gave me a clump of columbine wildflowers. Closer to his house Jeff showed me how he solved drainage

problems and eliminated stormwater runoffusing natural vegetation and contours. Ifeveryone reduced their runoff, there would be lessflooding of downhill neighbors, fewer expensivedrainage projects, and our lakes would be cleaner. Jeff hasa very small lawn, which means much less work, less expense,

no chemicals, and more time to enjoy his refuge!We are very happy to name Jeff and Mimi Caster our Killearn

Lakes Friendly Yard winners. They will receive a yard sign and $100gift certificate. Jeff has already said he’ll donate the $100 back to theHomeowners Association, hoping it will be used to promote more LakeFriendly landscapes.

If your yard or neighbors use minimal or no fertilizer and avoidinvasive plants like the popcorn tree and coral ardisia, please contactthe Killearn Lakes office or me at [email protected]. Also,several residents have requested that the Killearn Lakes nature trails berebuilt. If you are interested in helping please contact me.

As you prepare your flowerbeds this spring, you may be facing aquandary: to mulch or not to mulch? Consider these pros and cons ofthis common garden add-on to decide if it belongs in your yard this year.

Benefits of Mulch• Mulch blocks the sun. This helps protect plant roots from heatdamage and prevents weeds from taking hold.

• Freezing, melting and refreezing water can cause heaving, which is when shallow-rooted plants pop out of the ground.Mulch lessens this effect and can help your perennials make it to next spring.

• As the ground gradually warms up in early spring, perennialsstart to bloom. Mulch slows this ground-heating process so late-winter warmth doesn't trick flowers into blooming beforeit's really time.

• Using mulch slows evaporation from the soil so your plants soakup more of the water you give them. This makes mulch a cost effective investment, especially in dry climates, by saving you time,money and water.

• Mulch helps prevent the soil around your plants from erodingduring heavy rainfall.

Drawbacks of Mulch• Blocking sunlight to the soil can prevent seeds from germinating. Tip: if you're applying mulch in the spring, waituntil after seedlings have emerged.

• Plant-eating slugs and earwigs enjoy the cool, dark shelter mulch provides. Tip: only apply a thin layer of mulch 3 to 5inches away from plant stems if pests become a problem.

• Slowing down the ground-heating process in spring may causesome flowers to bloom too late. Tip: rake back mulch to encourage perennials to bloom, and then recover the area oncethe plants are established.

• Reduced evaporation isn't always a good thing. If the weatheris wet for several days straight, the soil could remain soggy anddamage your plants' roots. Tip: rake mulch away from your plants during prolonged rainy periods to promote better drying.

Choosing and Applying MulchSince it's possible to overcome pretty much every drawback of mulchin most situations, you may decide it's right for your bed cover. Toensure you don't regret your decision, choose your mulch wisely andapply it properly:

• Choose product to promote healthy soil. Pine straw is a greatresource in our area which makes it a very popular choice. Stone and gravel are other options, but don't expect them toimprove the soil's composition.

• A 3- to 4-inch layer of mulch is plenty for most applications. • You can apply mulch at any time of year. Just be mindful of the way it slows the ground-heating process in the spring andprevents heaving in the winter.

If you need help preparing your garden for another growing season,please contact The Grounds Guys®. We provide many landscapingservices, including spring clean-up services, to help you achieve yourmost beautiful garden yet.

KLP Aquatic Plant ManagementBy: Charlie Mesing

Killearn Lakes Plantation (KLP) chain of lakes, Arrowhead, PineHill, Petty Gulf, Blue Heron, and Monkey Business, have experiencedincreased storm-water runoff for more than 25 years. Residential andcommercial stormwater have contributed to expanded aquatic vegetationin all our lakes. Our KLP Fish and Wildlife Committee and Board haveused triploid grass carp and selective herbicides to maintain low levels ofaquatic vegetation for esthetics and economic reasons. FDA approvedherbicides are used in extreme infestations of exotic plants, hydrilla, waterhyacinths, elephant ears, and alligator weed. Aquatic plant managementis one of the most important and costly issues the KLP HOA addressesannually. Below is a summary for each lake.

Lake Arrowhead has dense green algae blooms and poor waterquality. In December 2014, holding ponds for the Bannermandevelopment “over flowed” discharging significant stormwater intoLake Arrowhead. Leon County officials treated the holding pondswith “alum” to confine the sediments. Green water color in 2016has returned however, future fish kills are possible from densemicroscopic algae growth unless all stormwater is treated and“aeration” is installed to help recycle nutrients. Threadfin shad,bluegill, redear sunfish a/k/a shellcracker, black crappie, andlargemouth bass comprise the fish community. This small front lakehas a dock and a good fishery for bass and bream.

Lake Pine Hill has the best water quality of all KLP lakes and adiverse fish community. There are no major problematic aquaticplant problems at this time. A few water hyacinths were spotted inFebruary 2016. Annual exotic herbicide treatments will control thesenuisance exotic aquatic plants. Largemouth bass and bluegill areabundant although a few 5-6 lb fish have been recently caught.Triploid grass carp were stocked in 2014 to control aquatic plants.There is parking, a dock, and boat ramp for anglers. Pine Hillreceives the least amount of local stormwater runoff.

Lake Petty Gulf has experienced significant invasions of theexotic plant “hydrilla” since 1999. Hydrilla reappeared in 2014 andspread throughout Lake Petty Gulf by May 2015. As a result, a 2015lake-wide herbicide (Sonar) treatment has controlled the hydrilla.Triploid grass carp should control hydrilla re-growth for 4-5 years.Water hyacinths have been treated annually since they first appeared.The fish population is comprised of largemouth bass, bluegill, redearsunfish a/k/a shellcracker, brown bullhead catfish, and threadfin shad.

Lake Blue Heron has experienced severe “filamentous algae”outbreaks due to “high nutrients inflows” and shallow water. Thelake bottom has been covered with filamentous algae periodicallyfrom 2007-2015. Attempts to control filamentous algae, has resultedin limited success. In spring/summer /fall of 2015, several techniqueswere implemented to reduce filamentous algae including blue dye,multiple herbicides, and releasing 300 extra triploid grass carp. Costshared (KLP and GE) herbicide treatments occurred inMarch/August/September in selected 15-20 acre sections. Initialresults were very positive. The fish population is comprised of bream,black crappie and largemouth bass. Spring 2015 samples indicatedthat many bass were skinny and threadfin shad numbers were lowprobably related to the filamentous algae dominance. KLP HOAwill develop a filamentous algae plan for Blue Heron for 2016.

Lake Monkey Business is the site of our KLP Annual KidsFishing Contest. Each year, 500 hatchery largemouth bass (8- 10inches) are stocked into a netted area. Several bass are tagged forraffle prizes during the contest. The 2016 Kids fishing event isscheduled for April 30th. There are plenty of bluegill, redear sunfisha/k/a shellcracker, black crappie, and largemouth bass for anglers.There were trophy-sized bass observed in our 2015 spring fishsamples. Each year a few large fish are tagged and released into thenet for young anglers to catch and possibly win the Grand Prize.There are no major aquatic plant issues in Lake Monkey Business atthis time. There is plenty of parking for residents and two docks forshoreline fishing.

Managing aquatic plants in all KLP lakes continues to bechallenging and costly due to increased commercial andresidential development in the KLP as well ascommercial development of Bradfordville. Pleasedo not discard any aquatic plants from yoursmall back yard ponds and always checkyour trailer for plantfragments beforelaunching boats inKLP lakes.

Personal Safety: Flashlight and Lighting Techniques

By: Lt. Charlie Strickland

the car so you can check your mirrors or backup camera. Have aflashlight handy.

Speaking of flashlights, you need one, and I don’t mean the oneswith two D-cell batteries. I mean a good tactical light with an LED bulb.Find one that has 100 lumens (light intensity) or more and uses lithiumbatteries so they won’t die sitting on the shelf. Lithium batteries will sitfor 10 years without dying or corroding - that’s what you want to havenearby. Tactical flashlights are generally aluminum or plastic, and theLED versions will provide bright light without killing the batteries tooquickly. Some make good impact weapons and many have pocket clipson them so you can carry them anywhere.

If you go outside, take the flashlight and use it. It might be betterto call 911 and wait, but you probably won’t call every time you hear anoise. When you use a flashlight, shine it in the dark shadows, or whatwe call “holes”. These are where threats might be. A bright flashlight inthe eyes of a bad guy may give you a moment to escape because his eyes

are adjusted to the dark. If hegrabs you, hold the flashlight likea knife and pound him about thehead and eyes until you can getaway. The combination ofaggression and bright light shouldhave a profound effect.

One last pointer: whenmoving around a corner, stay as farback from that corner as possible.This gives you a reactionary gap -- space between you and anyonewho might be in the shadowstrying to reach you. Whether this

is a doorway or the hood of your car, use this distance to buy yourselfsome time. There is a whole series of free videos on low-light personalsafety tactics at www.TalonTraining.com.

Stay safe and don’t let your kids read or watch anything withMothman in the title. Own the night!

Fear not the night.Fear that which walks the night.And I am that which walks the night.But, only evil need fear me….And gentle souls sleep safe in their beds...Because I walk the night.

- Lt. Col Dave Grossman

I want to share a story with you from my childhood. When I was9 years old, I read a book called “The Mothman Prophecies” about alarge creature that would swoop down at night and take people. I didn’tdo well in the dark outside after that….for a while. At 9 years old, I wasafraid of what walked the night; at 49, I still like a bright flashlight, butwhatever evil walks the night should now fear me.

After being a law enforcement officer for 25 years, 17 of which Ispent on the SWAT team, I have learned a couple of things about thedark because most of my careerhas been spent in the dark, clearingbuildings, homes and woods. Iknow from years of experience thatlighting is the key to feeling secureat night. Knowing how to leveragelight to your advantage is animportant element of personalsafety. Bad guys don’t like the light.

In your home at night, beaware of how light and yourwindows interact. During thedaytime, the inside of your homeis darker than the outside so youcan see out, but people can’t see in. At night, the reverse is true. Walkoutside after dark and look back at your home. Can you see inside? Eventhough you can only see your reflection when you’re inside, someonecould easily sit outside in the dark and watch you without you knowing.Turning on more lights inside won’t help; you’re giving everyone a freepeek inside while you see nothing. The better solution is to turn on youroutside lights and make the inside of your house dark, giving you theadvantage. By the way, sheer curtains make this effect worse, not better.

If you hear something in your house, you’re better to keep the lightoff in the room you’re in and turn on the light in the room you want tosee into. Step back into the shadows to protect yourself while lookinginto the lit area for information.

Your car windows have worse reflectivity than your home. At night,if you sit with your dome light on the whole world can see in, but yousee nothing. Anyone can walk up to you and you won’t see them. Drivearound with your headlights on and scan your area; don’t stay in the carlong. If you need to sit, leave your headlights on, lock your doors andleave the engine running. Before you get out of the car, put the car inreverse for a moment or hit your brakes to illuminate anything behind

If you hear something in yourhouse, you’re better to keepthe light off in the roomyou’re in and turn on the light in the room you want

to see into.


The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is working ona study to explore additional highway capacity alternatives to relievecurrent and anticipated traffic congestion along the Thomasville Road/Capital Circle Northeast (SR 61/US 319) corridor, including theinterchanges with Interstate 10 (I-10). The project limits extend fromMetropolitan Boulevard to the Bannerman Road/ Bradfordville Roadintersection. Alternatives being considered include: adding travel lanesto SR 61 (US 319) in the northbound and southbound directions,improving the existing roadway network east of Thomasville Road, andconstructing a new roadway on a new alignment. Secondary purposesinclude expediting multi-modal travel along the corridor while allowingsafe movement of vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

This project involves coordination with the Capital Region

Master Builder Best Practices Presents:

A Successful Renovation Requires a Pre-Construction MeetingBy: Mark Worley

Working with an experienced and well-respected builder will helpensure that things go as smoothly as possible with your constructionproject; but before the work begins on your home remodel, here are a fewpoints to clarify with your contractor to ensure that everyone is on thesame sheet of music.

Weekly Check-Ins

Establishing the expectation of holding weekly meetings will keepyou up-to-date. Your contractor has eyes on every aspect of your homeremodel. Spending just a few minutes together each week will keep youin the loop on all progress. I use a weekly Progress Report that is sent outeach Friday by email. This report includes the following headings:

• Progress made and phases completed since the last weekly report.

• Schedule for the coming week (tentative projection of work).• Items that need attention. This may include anything from

needed products selections by the owner, to dates and/or times the water may be turned off for plumbing connections.

• Questions and Answers. This is where the builder addresses questions and concerns from the owner.

Delegate a Contact Person

In cases where a critical decision must be made without prior notice,your contractor needs a designated contact person, with the best methodof communication (text, cell, email). Typically, one member of the familyhas final say in matters of design and/or even pricing. Delegating a contactperson, will save valuable time and help promote the project’s efficiency.

Photograph Everything Beforehand

Taking pictures of the home’s existing condition prior to the start ofthe renovation can ensure that everyone is on the same page aftercompletion. While going back over the completed renovation could

uncover a crack or flaw that may or may not have been there previously,pictures will give everyone a reference point.

Map Things Out

Messes are made when things have no place to go. The same goes fora construction site. Designate where delivery trucks should park, wherematerials and tools can be stored and which areas are off-limits to workers.Work hours and schedules should also be addressed.

Set Standards for Cleanliness

Reputable contractors are vigilant concerning the protection of aclient’s home during the construction process. Areas of the property youmay not have considered, like the landscaping, should be considered anddiscussed. There should be a protocol for the end-of-the-day clean-up andprocedures for dust-containment during the renovation process.

Keep Children and Pets Safe

A construction area is dangerous and not where you want to find yourchild or pet. Make arrangements to keep entrances to construction zonesoff-limits and work with the builder to construct and maintain barricades,as needed, to avoid any accidents.

Following these recommendations and procedures will help ensure asuccessful construction project. For a list of reputable and experiencedcontractors, search the members of the Tallahassee Builders Association atwww.tallyba.com.

Thisindividualized program provides 38 instructional sessions of one to onetutorials and 19 small group sessions in reading comprehension andstudy strategies development.

Studies show that reading is crucial to every child’s future. If a childis struggling to read by third grade, the statistics show that the child willbe below grade level in 9th grade as well if measures are not taken toidentify the problem and to remediate the reading issues.

Woodland Hall Academy offers a unique program utilizingmultisensorial, structured language techniques that are recognizednationally. Because students are receiving one-to-one readinginstruction, emphasis can be placed on the areas that need practice andimprovement. For some students that may mean phonics, blending,and phonemic awareness which are the building blocks to reading. Forother students the emphasis may be more on vocabulary development,comprehension skills, and test taking strategies.

Cyndy’s RuminationsBy: Cyndy Reichert

“Badge 149 "Shots Fired" and Saints, Sinners, Survivors”

From Law Enforcement Officer to Author

agree, that being a cop in the 60s, 70s, and 80s was a lot differentthan being a cop today. There are a number of situations he presentsin his two books where the course of action taken by the officersprobably would not pass muster in today's hyper-sensitive worldwhere some questionable, though, legitimate actions would bring thescrutiny of the media. If you want to know what it's like to walk inthe shoes of a cop and actually get a "feel" of the stress theyexperience, then I highly recommend you read Captain Jones' books.It's difficult to offer you a formal review of the books since they arereally a compendium of many short stories. The best way I canexplain to you the roller-coaster ride he will take you on as he andhis partners pursue the various suspects is to imagine yourself viewingthe scene as if the officers were wearing GoPro cameras on their capsduring the pursuit. That's the feeling you get as Captain Jones takesyou on this journey through his career.

I can't conclude this article without mentioning that CaptainJones is also a Law Enforcement Ambassador assisting withfundraising for the National Law Enforcement Officers MemorialFund and the National Law Enforcement Museum that is being builtin Washington D.C. Some of the proceeds from the sale of his booksare dedicated to the Fund. The NLEOMF works to increase publicsupport and awareness of the law enforcement profession. He asksthat you visit their web-site at www.nleomf.org for more informationand possibly make a donation to their cause.

On a personal note; we are fortunate to have a number of bothretired and current law enforcement officers living in the KillearnLakes community. All of whom deserve a great big THANK YOU!

If you have been following my bookreviews over the past couple of years youknow that my passion is towards fictionalmysteries. Well, for this issue of theLakesview I'm going to drift away from mycomfort zone to introduce you to a localauthor from right here in Killearn Lakes.Gary P. Jones was a law enforcement officerin Florida for more than 36 years; first withthe Fort Lauderdale Police Departmentwhere he retired at the rank of Captain after

26 years and then with the Florida Department of Insurance in theDivision of Insurance Fraud; also retiring at the rank of Captain.Captain Jones has written two books since he retired; Badge 149"Shots Fired" and "Saints, Sinners, Survivors." Both books chroniclethe life of a police officer as presented through the real life experiencesof Captain Jones.

He joined the Fort Lauderdale Police Department in 1967 whenhe was just 21 years old. I think he would be the first to admit thatbeing a "rookie" cop back in 1967 was far different than being onetoday. In those days you had to buy your own gun, then, basically,pick up your police uniform and hit the streets with little training.The books take you through his life patrolling the streets of FortLauderdale, recovering from a debilitating knee injury suffered onthe job, which almost ended his career, to his exploits as a memberof the elite Tactical Impact Unit which was created to combat thegrowing crime wave that was taking over Fort Lauderdale at the time.He introduces you to a cast of characters, both on the force and inthe community, that would make a George Lucas film pale incomparison. What's really interesting about Captain Jones' writingstyle is he puts you in the role of a police officer and challenges youto make the correct decision/reaction to various highly intensesituations. For instance, in one situation he was faced with thedecision of taking deadly force against a suspect. Even though hehad not actually seen a weapon, his training and instinct suggestedthe subject had one. And hesitating could result in the subjectgaining the upper hand. Captain Jones builds the suspense beforeasking you to make your decision. He provides various responsesand asks you to choose the proper one. At the end of the book heprovides an analysis of each of the situations along with therecommended response.

I think it would be safe to say, and I'm sure Captain Jones would

Co-ops Launch Non-partisanVoter Engagement Program

By: Kim Gay

America’s electric cooperatives have launched a non-partisan,nationwide effort, Co-ops Vote, to promote civic engagement and voterparticipation in the communities they serve.

Jeffrey Connor, interim CEO of the National Rural ElectricCooperative Association, unveiled the Co-ops Vote program at theassociation’s 74th annual meeting recently. “Through Co-ops Vote, wewant to help our Members know when elections are, what’s at stakeand how to make their voicesheard,” Connor said. “Whofolks vote for isn’t really asimportant as the fact that theydo vote.”

The Co-ops Vote initiativewill focus on issues that areimportant to the health andprosperity of communitiesserved by electric cooperatives.Electric cooperatives areperfectly designed to help address these important issues. Co-opMembers can make politics ‘local’ again because civic engagement ispart of our DNA.

A new website, vote.coop, offers co-op Members information onthe voter registration process in their state, dates of elections,information on the candidates running in those elections, andexplanations of the eight key issues the campaign aims to address. Inkeeping with its non-partisan goals, the initiative will not be endorsingspecific candidates for office.

Mel Coleman, president of NRECA and CEO of North ArkansasElectric Cooperative, said the program would help ensure the voices ofrural Americans are heard. “We want to make sure our governmentknows that rural America matters,” Coleman said. “This campaign isn’tabout divisive, partisan issues. It’s about real people in real places facingreal challenges. It’s about our co-ops living out the principles of ourmovement: Concern for community and democratic control.”

Connor cited partisan gridlock in Washington, the explosivegrowth of money in politics and the effects of gerrymandering asimportant reasons for launching the program. In 2014, 318 of 435House races had a margin of victory of 20 points or more , and 30House candidates – 16 Democrats and 14 Republicans representing

11 states – didn’t even face an opponent in the general election .“Elections aren’t won and lost in November anymore,” Connor

said. “They’re really decided in primaries months sooner, when fewervoters recognize the opportunity to vote, fewer participate and only ahandful of issues are up for debate.” This results in a Congress wheremore members represent the extremes of each political party and areless inclined to seek compromise and bipartisan solutions to problems.

“The electric cooperativemovement has always been non-partisan, and our communitiesare facing too many challengesto have a government crippledby bickering,” Coleman said.“When our parents andgrandparents set out to electrifyrural America, they didn’t havetime to ask the person next tothem about their views on

economic or social policy. Their economic policy was ‘we need to savethis community’ and their social policy was ‘let’s do it together.’ I hopethe Co-ops Vote program can help rekindle that spirit of cooperation.”

Talquin Electric is doing its part to support this national effort.The Gadsden County Supervisor of Elections’ Office will host a boothat Talquin’s upcoming Annual Meeting where Members from all fourcounties can register to vote. The Annual Meeting will be held on April30 at East Gadsden High School’s gymnasium, where Members areencouraged to exercise their right to vote for the leadership of theircooperative.

As a cooperative, our number one priority is improving the qualityof life for those we serve. An engaged community is going to be ahealthier one. “At Talquin, we understand how important affordableand reliable utility services are for our communities,” Tracy Bensley,General Manager of Talquin Electric, said. “Our Members can helpensure a secure future for our co-op through their participation inelections.”

For more information about Co-ops Vote and the impact ofthese key issues on the people of Gadsden, Leon, Liberty and Wakullacounties, contact Talquin Electric at (850) 627-7651 or visitvote.coop.
