Anita Saunders Townsend, who was public health nurse in Wakulla County for 40 years and cared deeply about the people she served, died peacefully on Saturday, April 6, at her home in Craw- fordville surrounded by her family. She was born in 1919 in Brunswick, Ga., and graduated Sopchoppy High School in 1937. Anita Townsend Townsend was in- spired greatly by Eleanor Woolley, a nurse who was married to Dr. Woolley, for whom Woolley Park is named. Anita’s mother, Maddie Trice Sanders, was close friends with Eleanor Woolley and Townsend was drawn to nursing by Wool- ley’s passion for it. The friendship proved to be benefi cial in Townsend’s quest to enter nursing school at Chatahochee State Hospital, where nurses were trained at the time. Dr. Woolley pulled some strings, and Townsend was accepted into the nursing school. Turn to Page 2A WILLIAM SNOWDEN Superintendent of Schools Bobby Pearce at his offi ce.

Special Olympics Torch Run Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) and Wakulla Correctional Institution (WCI) staff took part in the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run to support Wakulla Special Olympics Tuesday, April 9. The Wakulla Torch Run began at the sheriff’s of- fi ce and concluded with a ceremony at the Wakulla County Courthouse. The Special Olympians were treated to a lunch by Sonic in Hickory Park after the event concluded. More than 3,000 Florida law enforcement agencies participate in the statewide Torch Run which includes a 1,500 mile relay through nearly all of the counties in Florida. The Torch Run began in March and will culminate with the Opening Ceremonies of the Florida Special Olympic Games in Orlando on May 18. Law enforcement offi cials will bring the “Flame of Hope” into the stadium to signify the opening of the state games. More than 20,000 athletes will compete in Orlando including a group from Wakulla County.

So we sent them to Marianna and Jackson Blue Springs. All of the Merritt’s Mill Pond dive sites are clear and busy for all divers (within their respec- tive diving qualifi cations) this time of the year. I have never been so busy with classes on cave and rebreathers during these fl ooding times. We trained continuously for six weeks either at Jackson Blue, Ginnie Springs east of us over by High Springs, Blue Grotto near Williston and Eagle’s Nest north of Tampa. We even made a dark dive in Squirrel Swamp near our facility. One class stood out above all the rest. I trained four diving scientists from Bogota, Colombia on rebreath- ers. They are marine biologists like myself, so we could relate to the many joys a rebreather will bring to their research. In spite of the long drives and challenging vis- ibility, they mastered the skills and challenges required to continue their coral reef studies.

CARR There is no telling how many hundreds of thou- sands of visitors claim to know St. Marks. Annually, it is true; about 300,000 people go to the expansive St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. Its iconic lighthouse, the trails to see wildflow- ers, salt works, and birds galore are what attracts those day visitors. There is another St. Marks away from the ref- uge. Thousands arrive at one of Florida’s oldest small port communities on a bicycle, or a Harley Davidson. Others park their vehicle and get on- board some kind of boat (kayaks, small fishing boats, pontoons can be rented). It is a fair bet that sight- seers at both locations are in for a big surprise when they discover that the lighthouse isn’t at the St. Marks riverfront, and that the Spanish fort ruins are not at the lighthouse.

CARR By now it is apparent to many that Florida, for hundreds of years, was a Spanish province. The Apalache natives even learned to write the Spanish language until the British invaded and every- thing changed, yet again, for the Indians whose ancestors had lived here for tens of thousands of years. But nobody spoke Eng- lish. During the short 20- year British interval, some 16,000 folks were sub- jects of the British Crown, but they too were forced out along with their lan- guage. And so languages re- verted to Spanish, and variations of the Muskogee linguistic group, includ- ing those spoken by the Lower Creek, and Scottish and French.
