All’s well in Campbellton --West Florida Electric Cooperative recently installed electric service to a second well the Town of Campbellton has added to its water system. "I think every town should have two in case one goes out," said Campbellton Mayor Wanda Moore.Although intended to be a backup, the new well may serve as a primary water source while the older one undergoes repairs. A Florida Dept. of Environmental Protection grant/loan financed construction of the well, which is permitted by the state to pump up to 90,000 gallons per day. Shown with the new unit is Charlie Lee Young, who maintains Campbellton’s water system. The town also plans to build a park on the property where the well is located a quarter-mile south of the town limits.
Honoring those who served -- Even before Tom Brokow wrote a book about America’s World War II veterans, a group of local veterans were working to erect some kind of memorial to those who didn’t return from war. Vivian Shutes conceived the idea and sketched the design for the monument now standing on the grounds of the Kynesville United Methodist Church. Sponsored by American Legion Post 302, of Alford, the monument bears the inscription, "In honor of all who served, in all services, all wars." A row of plaques, flanked by the U. S., State of Florida and POW/MIA flags, lists all the wars in which U. S. citizens have fought. A spotlight installed by WFEC illuminates the structure.Shown with the monument they worked to build, from left to right, are area veterans Donald Smith, John Watson, Vivian Shutes, Amos Morris and Willard Henderson.
Up, up and away -- The Touchstone Energy® balloon beside WFEC’s booth attracts attention at Graceville’s recent Harvest Festival. Approximately 7,000 people attended the event, which was expanded from one to four days and was co-sponsored by WFEC.
