Correction

  • A Public Notice that appeared in last weekโ€™s newpaper on Page 3 was the wrong advertisement and was submitted by county government in error.
    The ad was supposed to be about Dangerous Dogs and the Animal Control Appeal Board that will be on the county commission agenda at their meeting on Dec. 8.
    The ad that mistakenly ran was about a vote on the county charter that was held in March 2020.
    The corrrect Public Notice appeared the Tallahassee Democrat issue on Nov. 28.

Corrections

  • Last weekโ€™s front page story on the county commission meeting that included a brief on the amount of funding for Florida Wild Mammal Association gave the wrong amount. The commission voted 4-1 to give $8,500 to the group which cares for injured and orphaned animals.
    โ€ข The On the Horizon calendar gave the wrong time for the county commission meetings. The meeting time for county commission meetings has been changed to 6 p.m. as of November.
    We regret the errors.

Clarification

Last weekโ€™s front page story โ€œFLDE arrests 10 sexual offenders in Wakullaโ€ included the name of Joshua Martin, 39, as one of the people arrested for violating sexual offender conditions.
That is not the same Josh Martin. also 39. who owns North Florida Land and Tree Service.
