They say Southern Pine Beetle does not appear to be the culprit; instead an irony — fl oods caused drought BY DEBORAH BUCKHALTER dbuckhalter@jcfloridan.com A few weeks ago, Jackson County resident and landowner Andy Andreasen started notic- ing that some of his big, older pines — trees that had survived storms, droughts and more over their long lives — were dying. He put in a call to the Florida Forest Service for some ex- pert help to fi gure out why. He has about 40 acres in trees and wants to plant another 100 acres next year. Knowing that he’d be spending a good chunk of money to do that, he didn’t want to go ahead with that plan not knowing if there was a devastat- ing insect lying in wait for the juveniles. He hadn’t been the only tree- lover in the Panhandle to worry and to make that call. In fact, foresters had so many calls recently that the service put out a press release hoping PHOTOS BY KRISTIE CLOUD / FLORIDAN to calm their overall fears after Jeff Eickwort (above) of the Florida Forest Service points out a long-standing pine tree that has died on Andy Andreasen’s land in Marianna. Eickwort is visiting several sites and sched- an expert in tree disease and insects and holds in his hand several pieced of bark taken from the tree to investigate what caused the tree to die. He and uled more fi eld work in the the agency’s Jackson County forester, Barry Stafford, visited the Andreasen property Tuesday.

Our View 150 years later
ome might argue that the South has an unhealthy fascination with the Civil War, but few if any of Sthose walk each day on ground soaked in the blood of Confederate and Union soldiers. This week, our community acknowledges the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Marianna with a series of events that began Tuesday with a Debate of the Com- manders program at the Jackson County Public Library, a spirited discussion between the men in charge of the 1864 battle – the Union’s Brig. Gen Alexander Asboth and Confederate Col. Alexander Montgomery. The event reaches full force on Friday and will feature a reenactment of the battle on Saturday, including Sgt. Major Jarvis Rosier and the men from the 2nd U.S. Col- ored Troops, a reenactment unit from Tallahassee. To call the anniversary a celebration would be a mis- nomer; considering the loss of life in the Battle of Mari- anna — or any conflict for that matter — is nothing to celebrate.
