Thursday an innovative partnership in. which at least 80
percent of'the proposed 800-megawatt power plant's daily
water requirements will come from Buckeye's wastewater.
Following lunchroom fight
3 middle school
students arrested
What started as a minor -
,altercation between two students
in the lunchroom at Taylor County
Middle School Wednesday
escalated into a much larger food
fight and ultimately led to three
students being taken away in -
handcuffs.
The initial fight was broken up
by school personnel with the help
of Resource Deputy DeWayne
Bowden, Superintendent of
Schools Oscar Howard Jr. said
Thursday.
Although the students- were
taken out of the lunchroom, a food
fight broke out leading Bowden to
call for reinforcements.
Officers from the Perry Police
Department and Taylor County
Sheriffs Office (TCSO)
responded, TCSO Cpt. Richard
Johnson said.
Between the two departments,
approximately eight officers were
on the scene, he said.
The fracas involved more than a
dozen students, but the officers
were able to calm most of the
crowd down and return them to
their classrooms, Johnson said.
Three students "continued to be
disruptive and would not calm
themselves," he said.
The three were then placed
under arrest and taken to the
county jail where they were
booked and subsequently released
to their parents, Johnson said.
One of the students in the
original fight was later taken to the
hospital by a family member for a
"busted lip," Howard said.
"We have a very high
expectation of student conduct at
Taylor County Middle School,"
Principal Paul Dyal said.
"We expect students to be
respectful, be responsible and be
safe. When a student makes a
choice to be disrespectful,
irresponsible and make unsafe
decisions, it will not be acceptable
or tolerated.

"He reportedly told her 'Don't

After the teller filled the bag, the

TEC, Buckeye partner
for water conservation
Groundwater use and
wastewater discharge in Taylor
County will be significantly
reduced by an innovative
partnership--between the Taylor
Energy Center (TEC) and
Buckeye.
Under the terms of an agreement
announced Thursday, at least 80
percent of the TEC's daily water
requirements will come from
Buckeye's wastewater.
The benefits include conserving
groundwater resources and
reducing wastewater discharge to
the Fenholloway River.
"We promised the Taylor Energy
Center would be environmentally
responsible, and this innovative
partnership is more proof of our
commitment," said Mike Lawson,
project manager for Taylor Energy
Center.
.Since TEC will be located near
Buckeye, the two organizations
have been evaluating potential
synergies in their operations with
the goal of creating a net
environmental benefit. TEC will
require water primarily for cooling
-purposes, and-Buckeye'discharges
wastewater, so watdr use was
identified as an area of potential
synergy.
"Our discussions produced an
agreement that is a win-win for
both companies and the
environment," said Lawson.
The power plant requires
approximately nine million gallons
of water per day. With this
agreement, under normal operating
conditions, 7.5 million gallons per
day will be sent from Buckeye to
TEC. This will reduce'by 7.5
million gallons per day what is
otherwise discharged by Buckeye
to the Fenholloway River.
As an added benefit, the TEC
will be a zero-liquid-discharge
facility, so all of the wastewater
sent to the power plant will be used
Boys & Girls Club Director Kevin Kidd, left, accepts a $15,000 donation from Fred Morgan
of Big Bend Marine. The local business is the first to sign on as a title sponsor for the annual
"Reeling for Kids Celebrity Fishing Tournament." The two-day event opens today (Friday) in
Steinhatchee. More than $4,000 in awards will be presented at the conclusion of fishing
Saturday. Everyone is invited to "come enjoy this family event," Kidd said.
and recycled at the facility,
Lawson added.
TEC needs water each day to
' replace whatjis lost to evaporation
in-the cooling process. With
extensive recycling and water
treatment systems at the. power;
plant, water use will be minimized,
and no wastewater will be-
discharged to any natural bodies of
water.
TEC is a proposed state-of-the-
art, 800-megawatt, coal-fired:
power plant to be located in Taylor
County near Perry.
'The $2 billion power plant is:
expected to create some 1,500 "
construction jobs and 180
permanent jobs.
The plant will be jointly
owned by four community-owned
electric utilities: Florida
Municipal Power Agency, JEA,

Though there wasn't a drop of blood kin between
us I felt a definite connection to Aunt Hattie. She
was a bigger-than-life personality who represented
-lazy days spent in the sun at Jug Island. Her place
'of business was a gray weathered building that sat
'out over the Gulf waters on wooden pilings. The
:entrance to the store was gained by a long
boardwalk that took you from the sandy shore to
'her front door. Looking back I realize it-was simple ,
.fare inside the store but for a child it held all the:
necessities required for beach living. Fishing'
:supplies shared shelves with canned groceries that
:didn't have any regard for order causing patrons to
?dig through the objects in search of items.
needed. Didn't seem to distress anyone since it,
provided an ideal opportunity to chat with Aunt.
BHattie. We kids followed along behind Mama who"
.used our arms as her shopping cart. We did the
'chore patiently knowing that our reward would be
:an ice-cold soda from the chest drink box that sat
:at the front of the store.
Aunt Hattie's method of check-out was unique--
-she added the items we held in our arms without
them ever leaving us, gave Mama the total, who
paid without question, and we were, out, the door

with our groceries still held fast in our makeshift
-cart. We raced down the boardwalk, deposited the
purchases, on the truck-bed, turned and raced
'back toward the store to plunge our hands in the
!ice-cold water of the drink box. It usually took
:several attempts in the ice water to come up with
-the favorite soda bottle since they were jammed
:together at the bottom of the box. I was never one -
to get in a rut so my favorite soda changed from
-week to week. But, -whether it was NuGrape or
:Strawberry Soda, it was devoured with, bliss as we
Stood still for that first swallow; With a contented
;sigh, we slipped to the edge of the boardwalk to sit
with our feet dangling over the edge as we finished '
the soda. It was a perfect place to sit for a. bird's
eye view of the goings-on at the beach. To our back
folks were passing on their way to the store and at
our feet the water was alive with swimming fish
:and crusty crabs. It was from this spot we would
.plan our strategy as to how we would catch those
,old crusty crabs without feeling the pain of their
pinchers. With the last drop of soda drained from
Athe bottle, we returned the bottle to Aunt Hattie
.and headed across the beach to the little cabin
;that Daddy had rented for a few days.
Like Aunt Hattie's store, the cabins sat high on
,pilings and were scattered in a random pattern
'around the shoreline. They were built shot-gun
style with two rooms for sleeping and a kitchen at
ithe back. I don't really remember a bathroom but
I: suppose there had to be some sort of facility
available somewhere. Checking in with Mama we
!shot out the door like brightly lit fireworks in our
tropical-print bathing suits. The trip to the water
"was filled with giggles as we herded the fiddler
Scrabs in a mass exodus across the sand before
hitting the cool water in a perfect belly-flop. In the
iyellow-hued Gulf water we would become pirates
-in search of lost treasure and beautiful mermaids
'gliding through the water at incredible speed.
^Whatever the fantasy, we never left the water for a
'moment until Mama would call us in to eat.
Sometimes lunch was an indoor affair, but most of
the time, we grabbed our sandwich and returned
:to the water's edge to sit with our feet buried in the

She said we would die from stomach cramps if we
got in the water before our food digested, so we
used the time to visit one on one with friends,
whose families like ours, returned year after year
to the beach.
-. Some summers we stayed at Keaton Beach. The
cabins there were much the same in structure. My
best recollection was the time spent with Jimmie
*Lee, Howell whose family rented the cabins. I
-suppose they were the restaurant owners as well.
During those summers we were treated to real
restaurant meals on occasion. Um, um, was it ever
good--fresh caught mullet, fries and hushpuppies
cooked to perfection. There was a large room used
for socializing after the meal where we gathered to
dance to-the latest hits played on the jukebox. It
was in that very room that Mr. Oneal Boatright
taught most of us children the art of ballroom
dancing.
A perfect spot for drinking an ice cold soda. (Photos courtesy Florida
State Archives)
Our family eventually bought property at nearby
Ezell Beach and built a small cabin there. Right
about this time each year with school at an end,
we would give the cabin a good cleaning and stock
the empty kitchen cabinets with food bought in
Perry. Somehow, bringing the supplies from town
was never as much fun as the days past when we
made our way across the water to Aunt Hattie's
place for our necessities. It's all gone now
physically, but no one can take away the memories
that were forged in my mind during those
wonderful summer days and nights at Jug Island.

RESPONSIBILITY
Continued from page 1
Machula also thanks teachers
Susan Nelson and William Tripp
for his success.
"They challenged me the most.
That made me understand what I
was learning.
"They didn't just give me a
grade; I had to work for it."
. He will admit, however, that
making the grade wasn't always his
first priority.
"It didn't really hit me until the
end of my ninth grade year. That
was sort of a transition year. I got
an idea of what was expected of:
me.
"I took more responsibility for
my education."
Since then, he has added even
more responsibility, joining the
high school's academic and tennis
teams, as well as volunteering with
Teen Court and Parent Connection.
He is also working part-time after
school.
Rather than hindering his
academic pursuits, the extra duties
helped, he said.
"The more I did, the easier it was
to get my work done. When you
have that responsibility, it forces
you to set your priorities. It makes
you more creative."
Machula plans to attend the
University of Florida in the fall
and pursue a major in
biochemistry. He then hopes to
attend medical school.
He is looking forward to
moving to Gainesville and having
"the ability to make my own
decisions. I like the feeling of
being totally responsible for
myself."
When Machula speaks before
his fellow students Saturday
morning, he will talk about "a few
things I feel are important about
making choices."
As for students just beginning
their high school career?
"Have a goal," he said.
"Stick to it and that's all you
need."

"If students cannot behave, they

oi a reason, especai y wim co ege
coming up," Meacham said.
"My parents enjoy learning and
they imparted that interest to me.
Learning is a key to success in so
many areas of life."
A member of the National Honor
Society and FCA (Fellowship of
Christian Athletes), Meacham also
played football all four years of
high school and participated in
weightlifting and baseball.
He led the team in tackles for
two years and was named to the
second team "All State."
During his senior year, he was
named captain of the team (sharing
the position, with three other
players as co-captains).
Despite offers to play on the
college level at a number of
'orange & blue'
different schools. Meacham stayed
true to the "orange and blue" and
will be attending the University of
Florida in the fall.
"I've always been a Gator and
the school has one of the top
engineering programs in the
nation. And right now that is
the career I am looking at the
most."
Meacham held a representatives
seat on the TCHS student
government association and
stepped up his involvement his
senior year.
"One of the most challenging
things was striking a balance with
extracurricular activities and my
classes. I really had to concentrate
on managing my time well."
In his valedictorian address
during commencement ceremonies
Saturday, Meacham said he will
challenge his fellow graduates to
stretch the boundaries of what they
can accomplish.
"Graduation is only the
beginning--there is no limit to
what you can do," he said.
For incoming high school
students, like his younger sister
Sarah who will be a freshman next
year, Meacham had just one word
of advice: "listen."
"Your teachers, other students--
they have been there and just want
to help you out."
The 18-year-old is the son of
Bill and Lisa Meacham. He has an :
older brother, Ben.
Humble in his i success,
Meacham concluded his reflection
of the accolades and awards by
saying, "All to God's glory."

Fishing Report
,BY PAT MCGRIFF
One More Cast Guide Service
Hey, last week we saw our first
ladyfish of the year. We also
caught a couple of Jack Crevalle,
and a Gafftopsail catfish(ugh). Yet
all are signs of spring and warmer
water etc. Monday we had a great
limit of 15 trout for two new
clients, Rick Vaida and Alvin
Leapheart of Covington, Ga. They
had never fished with me before.
We had three trout over 20 inches
long with three reds as well.
Despite the 15-20 knot w-i-n-d-s;
we had a blast!
Our trout continue to be in 4-5
feet of water adtd the eggs in the
females, I have cleaned lately,
indicate that our May and June
trout-fishing should be excellent!
More ballyhoo continue to
show up and that is a good sign,
as well, as our larger Sow trout
need the prptein of ballyhoo and
other white bait to supplement
their egg development.
My charters are fishing live
pinfish under Cajun Thunders to
produce our limits.
Here are some other reports
from Keaton:
Tom and Bo.bby Hall with
Rollie Chester limited out
Wednesday fishing Saltwater
Assassin electric chicken sea shads
bouncing the bottom in 3 -5 feet
of water.
Jimmy Lawson, John Lawrence,
Larry Carlton fished Tuesday-
Thursday and caught their limit
each day using Saltwater Assassin
electric chicken and a green and
yellow tailed Deadly Dudley. This
crew was also fishing in 3 -5 feet
of water.
Saturday, John Carroll and Pepe
Antiga from St. Mary's Ga. fished
in 7 feet of water using White
Gulp and landed 7 trout and a
black sea bass.
Hey this weekend, May 18th
and 19th, is the Doug Johnson
Reeling For Kids Celebrity
Fishing Tournament in
Steinhatchee. Prizes include a
$3000 Offshore Master's Prize and
a $1500 Inshore Master's Prize.

a house fire at the Weldon Poppell residence (above) Wednesday afternoon. Fire Rescue Lt.

Parker battled the blaze, as .jd Elton Carraway from the city. Personnel from the Taylor
County Sheriff's Office, Florica Division of Forestry and Doctors' Memorial Hospital
Emergency Medical Services also reported to the scene. The Fire Marshal was called and the

MOTHER HONORED FOR GOODNESS AND LOVE
Our Mother's name is Mrs. Johnnie Mae Richards. She has
beet an excellent mother, grandmother, friend, worker, helper
and servant of God for many years. She is a beautiful, royal,
queen, the daughter of Mr. John and the late Mrs. Florence
Monroe and the granddaughter of the late Mrs. Rosa Roberson
(Mama Rosa). Mom's girls, grandchildren, grandcats, Pastor
Bishop McBath, and friends would like to honor such a beauti-
ful, wonderful lady.
During the month of May we would like to take this opportu-
nity to express words of affirmation to Mom concerning how she
has blessed us in our lives. According to Prov 31:28-31 (NASB),
"Her children rise up and bless her... (29) many daughters have
done nobly, but you excel them all. (30) Charm is deceitful and
beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be
praised. (31 )Give her the product of her hands, and let her works
praise her in the gates."
Pastor Bishop McBath said:
"Pastor Janeen and I want you know that we love and appre-
ciate you and your heart of faithfulness. Though you have a long
list of accomplishments, the Lord is not finished with you yet.
The best is yet to come and your best and brightest days are still
ahead of you! We thank the Lord for your commitment to us
over the past ten years and county an honor that you're a part
of our family. Mother Richards, may this be the best day of your
life. With love, honor and appreciation." Bishop B. C. McBath
-Warrant Officer Danni Rogers applauds you Mother Richards
for being a wonderful mother and faithful servant of God.
Latashia and the kids say, "Mommy (grandma); we want to thank you for always being there for
me and my kids. There have been times when I did not know what I would have done without your
wisdom and knowledge. Thank you for everything you have done for us, you mean a lot we love.
you!"
Marisa and daughter say, "Mom we love you and thank you for everything you have done for us.-
You mean a lot to us thank you!"
Valerie says "Mom; words can never express my love and gratitude for all the wonderful things
you have contributed to my life. I will never forget the wonderful times we have had together laugh-
ing, talking and reminiscing about the past. I thank God for blessing me with your majestic ways. You
are the mother that most kids dream of having. Your strength, courage and independence have
molded six girls to be the best that we can be. You have done a wonderful job and I just want to thank
i jyou from the bottom of my heart and then some for being my friend, a shoulder to cry on, my refuge
In time of trouble, and my mother. God has.truly answered one of my prayers. May you continue to
be blessed in everything In Jesus name I pray. The kids say grandmom, 'we love you grandma you
are the best!!!'"
Trenla says, "Mom, you are a fighter, friend, advisor and so much more. Mom you are selfless,
always putting others before yourself. Everyone who has met you mother always speaks about your
kindness and love. You have taught me so much. You have always been there. I love you so mych;
Thank you Mom!"
Chief Petty Officer Robin Wrice loves yours thoughts of love, appreciation, affection, encourage-
ment and joy you have brought to our lives Mother Richards.
Wilma says, "Mom, you are a Queen, always elegant, patient, humble, loving, modest, stylish, an
unselfish lady and servant of God. You are the same kind, gentle and understanding person who
worked as one of the first African American Social Worker Assistants In-Taylor County. Thank you for
every sacrifice you have ever made in my life and every kind gesture to my friends, co-workers, or
those who worked for me during my career. I salute you Mom for over twenty years while I served In
the military you were extraordinary, superb, wonderful and totally the best! Thank you, Mom Sweetie,
may God's blessings continue to reign in your life, you deserve to be honored and blessed for all you
have done and will do congratulations we honor you excellent Mother, friend, advisor and woman of
God! Mother, the best is yet to come for you!"
Love always your family, friends and Pastor

Graduation...
An End.
A Beginning.
As we are busy congratulating our
graduates on their achievements, let
us also take time to challenge them
as well.
While high school graduation
marks a milestone in the life of the
young people, it also brings a new
area of freedom--and responsibility-
-for the future.
Challenge our graduates to move
the world back toward "old" values
of honesty,- integrity, loyalty,
patriotism,
love, respect and
togetherness.
Challenge them to make the world
a better place.
Let them know they
can make a difference.
