Every fall after the initial state test data results are released for entire districts and schools in the summer, the Florida Department of Education digs deeper into the data to look at how subgroups performed. This is done so that school districts can see how they are doing with each population in their schools. For example, if the district as a whole does better each year but it does not advance each subgroup, then it needs to look at what it can do to better serve students in that subgroup. Several subgroups in Wakulla showed reading and math scores above the 2012 state averages and also showed an increase in achievement levels over the same 2011 subgroup in Wakulla. In reading, the black student population in Wakulla scored 7 percent higher than the 2012 state average SPECIAL TO THE NEWS for the same subgroup. Hispanic students in Wakulla Students prepare to tie-dye their school shirts with the help of teacher, Louis Hernandez, left, and a fi nished product, scored 15 percent higher than the same 2012 subgroup right. state average.

Fulford said her fi rst ex- periences with domestic vi- olence were not good ones and many times, the victim would eventually recant her story and try and drop the charges against the person who was abusing her. If the state attorney’s offi ce pursued charges against the abuser, Fulford said the victim would fi ght them the entire time. “I couldn’t understand why they fought us,” Ful- ford said. Then she attended a seminar on domestic vio- lence and began to under- stand the cycle of violence and became moved to fi ght for people who couldn’t fi ght for themselves. After this, one of her fi rst cases in Wakulla County involved a woman from Mississippi who was picked up with her significant other for boating under the infl uence. Offi cers noticed the woman was bruised and found out that the man constantly beat and raped her. “It was part of their relationship,” Judge Fulford said. Fulford got the woman to agree to press charg- es against the man. She also told her about Refuge House. However, Fulford was gone for a few days and when she came back she was informed the woman had dropped the charges and recanted her state- ment. The man was then let out on bail and took her back to Mississippi. She ended up going missing and Fulford was convinced the man had harmed her. The woman was found dead at the bottom of a river and her death was ruled an accidental drowning. Eventually, with Fulford’s persistence, the man was charged with her death and sent to prison. Kathy Asbell, of the task force and Refuge House, said she remembered this case and it was one that was extremely diffi cult. “This woman, even in her death, received justice,” Asbell said. Fulford told the crowd that she wished she could say this was her only tragic case. “It’s a very real problem,” she said. “There are no boundaries for domestic Woman arrested in fraud case Wakulla County Sheriff’s Offi ce detectives arrested a 30-year-old Tallahassee wom- an Oct. 15 in connection with the theft and fraudulent use of credit cards stolen from a Crawfordville victim on Oct. 7 in Franklin County. Elizabeth Lauren Watts faces 10 counts of fraudulent use of a credit card, four counts of forgery and one count of grand theft. She is incarcerated in the Wakulla County Jail under an $11,500 bond. The Crawfordville victim reported a vehicle burglary in the Alligator Point area of Franklin County where her purse, identifi cation and credit cards were stolen. Detectives determined that the victim’s credit cards were used fraudulently for $922 in purchases. Watts was arrested in Panacea without incident.

Special to The News

On Saturday, Oct. 20, the Hobbs-Bevis family will mark their 50th anniversary as owners of Shell Island Fish Camp and Marina located on the Wakulla River in St. Marks. The camp is a full service fi sh camp and the largest one 2012 in the Southeast. Most fi sh camps have either closed or been turned into full-time marinas. The camp sells more October 20, 2012 three-day fi shing licenses than anywhere in Florida. 10 a.m. to 6 P.m. Alex and Gazzie Hobbs purchased Shell Island Fish Camp and Marina in 1962 and moved with their children, Allen FUN, FOOD, LIVE MUSIC, PARADE ARTS, CRAFTS, EXHIBITS and Gail, to St. Marks from Thomson, Ga. They had farmed Parking $2.00 per car and operated their grocery stores in McDuffi e County for many years. They retained their property in Georgia and the family still returns often to visit family and friends. Alex and Gazzie retired in 1988 and Allen and Ruthie Hobbs took over the family business. Over time, Allen and Ruthie added their infl uence in the operation. Seven old small cabins were eliminated and replaced by a 24-room motel, improved the four two-bedroom existing cabins with kitchens, added fi ve Park Models, four pontoon boats and 14 center console fi berglass rental boats replaced the original high-maintenance wood skiffs. Alex passed away in June 2010 after he had witnessed his dream that the business would stay in the family. His wife, Gazzie, 89, still lives at the camp as well as his daughter, Gail Field, and her husband, David. Allen and Ruthie retired in August 2010 and Alex’s grandson, Jimmy Bevis and his wife Sherie, took over the operation. Jimmy is the son of Gail Hobbs Field so this will be the third generation to run the marina. Jimmy worked at the camp while going to school, worked at other jobs until 2003 when he came back to his fi rst love, the fi sh camp, and worked for Allen and Ruthie until they retired. Jimmy and Sherie have a 13-year-old daughter, Emily, who loves to be at the dock and assist wherever she can. We hope to have a fourth generation to take over. She already has her license for operating a boat on the open water.
