WAKULLA COUNTY, Fla. (WCTV) - St. Marks officials confirmed Wednesday that the city won’t have a fireworks display for the Fourth of July. Although the city’s population is only about 360 people, City Manager Zoe Mansfield said they usually see double that amount for their fireworks celebration every year.

This past Thursday, a group of community volunteers joined Wakulla County Extension staffers to help plant a garden at the Wakulla County Public Library in Crawfordville. But this isn’t just any garden: It’s a 4-H food forest. It’s intended to be more than a vegetable garden, more than a flower or herb garden. The flowers, herbs, vegetables and fruits have been selected because they all work well together in their particular micro-climate, from firebush flowers that attract pollinators to the marigolds that repel some garden pests, including nematodes.

Edwin Glen Brown (11/26/1940 – 6/24/2022) passed away Friday morning peacefully at home in the care of his loving wife of 62 years, Sharol Pelt Brown. Edwin grew up in the Sanborn area south of Sopchoppy in a family of eight children. As a family they farmed, fished, hunted and shared their bounty with family and neighbors during the Depression years. Edwin loved football and played for the Sopchoppy Yellow Jackets during his high school years. He declined an offer to play college football at Troy University to begin working and marry the love of his life. After graduating he joined the Tallahassee Fire Department.

I just got back from a trip to Florida. My trips to Florida are a mystical thing for me. I go on them to talk to God and whatever wild angels protect me. I look out over the ocean and crawl deep inside myself and search the caverns and labyrinths of my mind and heart. I try to find answers and I try to find missing pieces to my soul in the hope I can become a better husband, father, friend, teacher and coach. I love to go where no man has gone before, especially when I feel broken.
