The Great Suwannee River Clean-up, initiated and coordinated by Current Problems Executive Director Fritzi Olson, is nearing the end of the historic river and the 2013 clean-up.  The last 20 miles will be tackled by the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge, the Friends of the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuges and all the volunteers they can muster Dec. 7, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge is offering a free Family Hunt Dec. 14 - 22.  This is a unique opportunity for youth to hunt along with an adult mentor. The adult and up to two youths under 16 can hunt the refuge together with the free Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge permit. It can be obtained on line at www.fws.gov/lowersuwannee by clicking on “Hunting”, then click “Virtual Hunt Brochure." Or, call the refuge at 352/493-0238.

Well, happy late Veterans Day. I hope everyone took a minute to thank and realize the sacrifices that were and are still being made. It’s with great pleasure that, on behalf of Southern Salt Charters, I say thanks.
