In 2003, the SRWMD pro- posed setting MFLs without considering the effects of this dredging project and I joined with George and oth- ers to resist this project. The proposed dredging pro- ject for McGriff's Pass would effetely separate fifth teen to twenty percent of a twenty thousand square mile oyster reef area. And this area was declared by the USGS in 2002 to be the largest of its kind left in North America. Oysters and all exoskeletons require Class II water to survive according to the State's Water Classifica- tions. 30 miles up the coast the Gulf Stream flgws.di- rectly through the Fenhol- loway River's Dead Zone, which is Class III water due to a special rule made for the Fenholloway River's. DeadZone.: It is my opinion that Class III water or high- er is slowly killing all ex-. oskeleton life.at the north end of the Grpat Suwannee Reef.

Approximate Opening date: June 2009. 10,11 For over 5,000 years, all the Great Suwannee Reef has done is to provide ready to go, natural fast food for man and his family The giant shell mounds that existed are now the base for many roads jn the area. Shirred Island is an Indian Midden and there are other Native American Midden sites and State Archeological sites at the mouth of the Suwannee River. And look at all the trouble that it is in. There is a Dead Zone form- ing in the.Shirred Island/Horseshoe Beach Area. I believe that Class III or higher water is flowing from Fenholloway River, killing all exoskeleton life and forming our Dead Zone with the help of the runoff that Defoliant Agents the forest company uses along its coastal.property to, defo- liate its land before replanti- ng. The water in the area is slowly killing all the ex- oskeleton life in the Shirred Island; area, also there is an algae that is thriving on nu- trient pollution and killing our grass beds a full thirty miles up the river. Should we not add to and provide stewardship fdr an area that has provided man with habitat for over 5,000 years instead of taking too much from the area until the habitat no longer, exists? Just what kind of people are we? Our actions, not words, will tell.

He told me that their tower is located at 1-75 & SR 121 (Williston Rd.) on the northwest side of the in- tersection and that the tow- er signal will not reach us - we were always on the fringe of their signal. He stated they have no plans to increase signal strength and have no plans for a relay or repeater tower to extend coverage to our area. He suggested I should put up a 50 ft. tower (at my expense) and may get their signal and that I research www.anten- naweb.org to determine which local stations) are covering this area. In closing, I do not believe that I should be required to pay monthly fees for a satel- lite dish / receiver to watch 'Free' TV Times are hard enough as it is these days and the additional costs to me are not warranted, espe- cially when through no fault of my own I am now de- prived of over the air TV Please contact your govern- ment representatives and ask that they correct this situation so that free over the air television is restored to Dixie County and rural America. MARK PAULES, Horseshoe More Opinion To the Editor: With all.the landfills we' have,Why must our road- sides be so littered?Where does it all come from? I realize trash blows out on 'the way to the dump,and it you know this ,then stop and pick it up, only takes a second. IF everyone would practice this, just imagine how.beautiful our county would be.With only wild- flowers littering our road- sides. DIXIE has alot to offer its citizens and visitors,But the Dear Editor, For the past 40 +/- years we have received our television signals from a set of over the air antennas. We re- ceived local news and weather, plus local & nation- al programming primarily from WCJB, channel 20, out of Gainesville, Florida. As of Feb. 19 that has stopped. The changeover from analog to digital TV signal has cause me, and possibly , many others in this area, to lose local television cover- age. This will' be a very big problem if there is a local emergency that would re- quire up to the minute noti- fications and action. I am asking persons effected by the changeover to contact Congressman Boyd and State Rep. Bembry and noti- fy them of your situation. I spoke to Staff member, Mr. Williams, of WCJB and have included the high points of our conversation. The gen- tleman was polite, but did not offer any real solution to the problem. He stated that the analog signal was no longer being broadcast and that they would not return broadcasting in analog until June 19th (as allowed by the FCC) because their analog I b*Cnoabm*
