A happy Christmas Veterans Day in Hamilton


for all the kids

store.
 "We try to see that
each child gets five to six
gifts," says Anne Hall,
who heads up the effort
each year.
 Hall is committed to
the effort.
 "This is something that
is very dear to my heart,"
she says. "Christmas is
for children and they do
not understand economic
situations. Regardless of
their economic situation,
they want what other
children want."
 Hall asks companies,
organizations and
individuals to help all
local kids have a happy
Christmas. A donation of
$100 will sponsor a child.
 Participating
businesses to date are
Stormant's Grocery in
White Springs, Foodway,
and SunSations in Jasper.
Churches in Jennings are
taking care of that area,
Hall said.
 The trees will be set up
by Thanksgiving
weekend, she said.
 Organizers collect the


gifts from the stores by
Dec. 18, shop for any
remaining gifts, and
contacts the parents so
they can pick up the
presents "for the man in
the red suit," said Hall.
 For more information
contact Hall (386-638-
1617) or committee
members Beth Burnam,
Lori Stormant, Geri
Huddleson or Earlene
Hayes. You may also
contact a participating
business.

Water woes



won't go away

district wide water
supply assessment. "We
have determined there
will not be sufficient
water to meet future
needs in the Upper
Santa Fe Basin," said
Webster. "This is the
red flag, this is the
warning."
 The new plan will
mean a new permitting
strategy for
municipalities, as well
as stricter conservation
measures for
homeowners and
business. The increasing
population in
northeastern Florida
and advancing industry
and other economic
development has led to
a rapid increase in
water demand.
 In a previously
published article,
SRWMD Executive
Director David Still


stated that North
Florida must improve
the design and
management of water
resource technologies,
find alternative water
supplies, and adopt
stricter water
conservation
technologies.
"Hopefully once
implemented things will
get back on track," he
said.
 However, with
Tampa's eye on the
Floridian aquifer, the
future of the Suwannee
River Basin's water
supply remains hazy,
expressed water
management officials.
 Part 2, which will
appear in next week's
Jasper News, concerns the
other topic addressed at
Monday night's forum:
new EPA guidelines
governing nutrient levels
in runofffrom lawns,
ranches and farms.
