Used tires discovered on property. wasn't news to the city
Used tires discovered on property wasn't news to the city


BY TERESA STONE-IRWIN
Times Staff Writer


A recent sanitary nuisance
citation was issued by the
Union County Health
Department to joint property
owners Maggie Wetzel and
Elizabeth Athanasakos for
their property located on Fifth
Street in Lake Butler.
According to the notice, an
* inspection conducted by
environmental specialist
Richard Land found several
used tires stacked on the
property and are visible from
the street. The inspection was
conducted following a
conversation between Land
and a concerned citizen. Land
gave the joint property owners
30 days to remove the tires
from the property.
Wetzel and Athanasakos
were not aware the tires were
on their property, nor were the
new homeowners who had just
purchased a mobile home
adjacent to the pile of tires.
The tires became visible last
year when the new owners of
the mobile home began
cleaning up and clearing away
trees and overgrown brush on
their property. Wetzel and
Athanasakos purchased their
property in 2006.
Although the tires only
recently became known to the
property owners and
passersby, it wasn't news to
the city of Lake Butler.
It seems that the tires were
disposed of on the property as
far back as 20 years ago.
However, no one from the city
ever followed up on it or
seems to know who dumped
them there.
City Manager John
Berchtold, hired last year, said
he first became aware of the


Historical Society
meets Feb. 25
The society is honored to
present guest speaker, Wilford
Croft, a former property tax
appraiser of Union County, as
he shares the history of
Providence on Monday, Feb.
25, at 7 p.m. at the Union
County Historical Museum.
The village of Providence is
one of the oldest settlements in
Florida, being close to St.
Augustine in age. It is situated
near Olustee Creek, 15 miles
from Lake City.
In earlier days, there was an
institute of learning known as
Providence High School. Very
few churches existed in the
early days, but historical
names such as New Zion, Fort
Call and Old Providence were
nearby and served by circuit
riding preachers.
Drug stores, blacksmith
shops, carpenters and general
mercantile business did a
volume of trading even though
transportation was rough and
treacherous from Lake City to
Lake Butler and High Springs
by mules and wagons.
Providence was a rich
farming area with large
plantations of long staple
cotton.
The museum is located at
410 W. Main St. in
downtown Lake Butler.
Everyone is invited to attend.

What looks to be about 200 tires were discovered by new home and land owners
on a property located on Fifth Street in Lake Butler. Employees with the city had
known about the tires for more than 20 years when the new land owner was
cited.


tires when the new homeowner
complained' of a mosquito
problem coming from the
woods. Berchtold had a city
employee go out to the
property and spread poison to
kill the mosquito larvae.
Why the tires were not
addressed until now has not
been fully explained.
Wetzel said that at this time,
exactly whose, property the
tires are located on is 'in
question. She is in the process
of obtaining a property line
survey to determine who is
liable for the cost of removing
'the tires.
"I obtained a plat of the
property as well as an aerial
photograph from the property
appraiser's office," Wetzel
said. "I'm not completely sure
that all of the tires fall on our
side of the property line."

Gospel sing at
First Community
Church

Brooker is having a benefit


Wetzel wrote a letter to the
health department asking for
an extension in time to
determine whose property the
tires are actually on and to
allow more time to clear the
tires from the property. She
estimated there were more than
2,000 tires dumped there.
Wetzel also pointed out that
the property was once a city
dump.
It's true that portions of the
property were once part of the
Lake Butler city dump.
However, that was back in the
1930s or 40s. The tires on the
property are estimated to be
from the 80s or 90s. Also, the
actual number of tires on the
property is closer to 200, but
Land granted Wetzel a very
gracious extension until
August.

time, I figured a little longer
would be OK," Land said.
In speaking with Berchtold,
he stated that the city would be
more than happy to relieve the
full burden of removing the
tires by offering to pick them
up at no charge. The city has
an agreement with the landfill
that they may dispose of used
tires at no charge. Their only
expense will be the cost of
hauling the tires to the disposal
.site.
However, it will be up to the
property owners) to move the
tires to the street for city pick-
up. Wetzel has been given an
offer to have the tires moved to
the street and expects to begin
having the tires hauled away
very soon, if they do, in fact,
fall on her side of the property
line.

Host a foreign
exchange student
during the next
school year
PAX Exchange Student
Programs would like to invite
you to meet a very special
person in 2008. Families in
Union and Bradford counties
are invited to offer their
hospitality to a high school age
exchange student for the
upcoming- school year starting
in late August..
The students hail from 40
different countries and are
eager to know who they will
be living with, and what part
of the US will be their host
community.
Each student is between 15
and 18 years of age, has been
well screened for maturity and
adaptability, and has full
medical and spending money.
The host family provides
room, board and a measure of


guidance for the student during
his or her stay in the US.
Empty nesters, couples or
singles are eligible to offer
their hospitality. According to
Dawn Brown, local
community coordinator,
families that volunteer early
have the opportunity to begin
communication with their
student before arrival. This
early bonding makes it easier
for everyone to handle cultural
obstacles once the student
arrives.
"Most of the students feel
like they know their host
families even before they
arrive, and are immediately
ready to become a
participating member of their
new host homes pitching in
on everything from household
chores to family discussions,"
says Brown.
PAX is a non-profit
organization, monitored by the
US Government. For more
information call Dawn Brown
at (386) 496-9783.

Upper respiratory infections on the rise in Lake Butler


Lake Butler Hospital/Hand
Surgery Center has seen a
recent increase in patients with
severe upper respiratory
infections, which is consistent
with the rise in reported cases
across the country.
"Over the last couple of
weeks, the number of people
being treated and hospitalized
has really spiked," said Dr.
Cindi Larimer, director of
emergency services. "People
need to be sure to take the
necessary precautions to keep
from spreading it."
Good health habits like
covering your nose and mouth
when you cough or sneeze,
washing your hands often,
getting plenty of sleep, being
physically active, managing
your stress, drinking plenty of
fluids, and eating nutritious
food can all help protect you
from getting sick.
The Center for Disease
Control recommends taking
antiviral drugs when directed
by your doctor, as well as
getting the flu vaccine, even if
it does not protect against all
strains of flu. This is very
important for people with a
high risk of getting sick such
as seniors, infants and those
with chronic illness like
asthma, diabetes or heart
disease.
Symptoms being reported in
patients include high fever,
headache, extreme tiredness,
dry cough,. sore throat, runny
or stuffy nose and muscle
aches.


If you have symptoms, you
should see your doctor, even if
you've had the flu shot. There
Sare medications available that
can help lessen the time and
severity of sickness if you get
started on them early.
"It seems to be very
contagious," said Jon Johnson,


ARNP at Lake Butler Family
and Pediatric Clinic. "So if you
or your kids get sick you
should try to stay home from
work and school to keep from
spreading it to others."
If you still need a flu shot or
have questions about whether


or not you should get one, call
your family physician or Lake
Butler Family and Pediatric
Clinic at (386) 496-1922. The
clinic, located inside the
hospital, has a limited numtiber
of shots available for $15. The
cost is covered by Medicare.

Happiness is a Cow



As part of the 4-H School Enrichment program and Florida Aquaculture in the Classroom,
Courtney Denman's first grade class at Lake Butler Elementary School enjoyed learning about
cows and how we get our milk, cheese, ice cream and yogurt. Colan Coody, 4-H Program
Assistant, helped the students in reading the book and doing the activities. Denman had a student
write about what they enjoyed while learning about a happy cow.

Sheriff's office looks toward

advanced technology


In a continued effort to
embrace advanced technology
with public safety concerns,
Union County Sheriff Jerry
Whitehead began looking into
ways to enhance Union
County's already state-of-the-
art E-911 system.
Currently, when a 911 call is
received, the dispatcher
determines the location by
specific telephone number
identification on a detailed
map.
With cellular telephone
calls, the dispatcher receives
radio signals identifying the
caller's location when dialing
911.
It is very important to be
able to see the location that the
dispatcher needs to send law
enforcement or a rescue unit,
especially in a rural area with
long stretches of road such as
S.R. 100 or 121.
During an emergency, a
caller is not always able to
determine their exact location
on a roadway, especially if
they are not from the area. The
same is also true in the case of
a child who may be calling for
emergency services.
In addition, a detailed
description of what the area
should look like assists in
determining if there are any
obstacles. This becomes very
important should a helicopter
need to land in the event of a
traffic accident.
A photographic image of a
caller's exact location can
greatly assist at times like this
as well as with emergency
planning during floods, fires
evacuations, traffic control or
other incidents.


Pictometry software is
capable of providing aerial
images of the entire 246 square
miles of Union County.

These images and the
software directly integrate with
the sheriff's department new
E-911 system, enhancing it so
the dispatch center can not
only determine the physical
location of an emergency call,
but also be able to receive a
day-time view of the location,
even if the call occurs at night.
Last week, a meeting was
held at Congressman Ander
Crenshaw's' office to outline
the technology and its benefits.
The new law enforcement
tool was very well received by
Crenshaw's office, realizing
the system would not only
benefit Union County, but also
the other counties in the fourth
congressional district of
Florida.

Whitehead has requested a
$1.58 million project grant for
all counties in the district to
benefit from the availability of
this visual intelligence tool.,
With it, all federal, state and
local agencies will have a
common tool to jointly manage
emergencies. The Union
County Sheriff's Office would
administer the program for the
eight-county district that
includes Union, Baker,
Nassau, Columbia, Hamilton,
Madison, Jefferson and Leon
counties.


I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know
the answer.

By far, one of the
favorite pastimes of Lake
Butler FFA members is the
annual Redneck Olympics
-''.games held during National
FFA Week. The games
.include crossing the pond
using shovels as boat
paddles and other creative
versions of tug-of- %%ar, egg-
**_..toss, 3-legged race, a hot
dog-eating contest, and, of
course, the pond toss. If
you are new to FFA and are
not familiar with the pond
s../ .toss, dress warm. The pond

Clockwise from the top left: Dalton Cochran, Jay Norman, .
Cory Tucker and another compete in the boat race. Teams try =
to cross the pond in the shortest amount time using only shovels as their oars. Some chose to swim across the pond with their boat, but this
team didn t have any choice because their boat sank.
Cory Tucker and Garth Ellington compete in the feed sack race. Teams run around the perimeter of the pond carrying a 50-pound bag of feed,
passing.the sack to their team members at various markersiAlong the way.
Channing Dobbs, Parker Andrews and Chason Andrews compete in the hot dog eating contest.
Kendyl Willis, Zach Sweat and Jared Freeman are pictured during National FFA week where the Figure It Out contest is held each day in the

Tribute to Leola "Lee" Carlton Turner


Lee Turner


The state of Florida lost
another of its native daughters
on Dec. 23, 2007. Leola "Lee"
Joyce Carlton Turner passed
away just seven months after
her husband Edgar Walter
Turner.
The service for Lee was held.
in Jackscnville on Dec. 27.
She had been a dedicated
member of First Baptist
Church for many decades and
raised two sons, Robert and
Mike, living in Reno and
Jacksonville, respectively.
The memories which Lee
left behind are priceless, and
the heritage she brought to the
table was that of a fifth
generation Floridian.
Recently widowed Harley
Lee married 16-year-old Ella
Thomas Carlton in 1924.
Ella's father was Tommie
Thomas and her birth mother
was Allie Hunter Thomas who
died at the age of 26 from the
fever that was sweeping the
country.
Their firstborn was Amos,
followed by his sister Iris.
With the country in a headlock
by the encircling arms of the
Great Depression, Lee was
born on Dec. 13. 1931.
Times were hard and money
was tight, what with Harley
and Ella being share croppers
with Henry Peeples on a farm
which would later be owned
by Billy and Opal Howard in
what would later be known as
Union County, the smallest
county in Florida.
Lee was born in a small one-
room shack on a dirt road just
north of where Henry Peeples
lived and within a mile of
Harley's parents, William
Carlton and Francis "Frankie"
Parrish Carlton. It was also just
north of the property presently
owned by Myrtice Dukes.
Francis was the daughter of
George Washington and
Martha Surrency Parrish.
Some of the latter day Parrish
family would be Olen and'
Leon Parrish and Robbie
Parrish.
Nearby lived Harley's
brother Allen and his wife
Eula along with their children,
Gordon, Ruth, Minnie, Aletha
Mae, Francis, Robert, Earnest
and Eloise. Ella's sister,


Margaret and her husband
Calvin Touchstone, lived in
close proximity.
The Touchstones would later
bring cousins Annie Laura,
Patricia, Rosie Mae and Gloria
into the mix. Gloria later
married Bobby Clyatt, one of
the sons of Robert and Vera
Clyatt.
In the early 1850's, a clan of
Carletons (the "e" was dropped
in 1870), called Florida their
home. Lee's great-great-
grandfather, Isaac Blake
Carleton and his wife Phoebe
Roberts Carleton waited
patiently in South Georgia for
the Seminole Indians to cease
their wars before claiming
their land grant of 160 acres in
.what was then New River
County. Isaac and his son built
the Carlton Hotel on the banks
of the St. Mary's River in St.
Mary's, Georgia, where a
section of interstate 95 would
later by named the Isaac B.
Carlton Memorial Highway.
Phoebe, was the daughter of
John Roberts and Phoebe
O'Steen Roberts. .A more
familiar name from this linage
of Roberts would be that of
Clarence Roberts and his
children, Barbara "Babs"
Roberts Montpetit, Ann
Roberts Fortner and Sonny
Roberts.
Lee and her siblings welc
later joined by yet another
daughter of the Carlton's; who
was named Alma, referred to
all her life,. by the moniker
"Doll."
The children attended
schools in Miller, Midway and
Lake Butler.
In 1953, Lee married Walter
Turner, the son of Edgar
Walter Turner Sr. and Ella
Clark of Columbia County.
Walter is the brother of
Margaret Turner Stallworth of
Lake City and later became the
uncle of Sharon Stallworth
.Wallace of Brandon. Sharon
was married to Leyland
Wallace and together, they had
three children: Deleslie,
Jeffrey and Leyland Jr.
Although very close
throughout their lives, Lee and
her older sister Iris (whom it
was said could pass as twins)
were close confidants and
shared much -together. Iris
married the late DeWitt
Brooks and had a child, Bert
Brooks.
It was the sisters' daily
phone chats in which they
relived the parts of the country
they loved the most: the piney
woods of North Florida and
especially the area known as
Dukes, where nearby they
spent their early years ,at the
Dekles Millpond.
There, they had received
important lessons in life from
their parents who had
purchased 120 acres' that
encompassed the millpond
from Sebe Harris in 1943. The
land was located an axel
greasing from the old Price
Dukes place, later owned by
Donald and Marie Dukes. It
was also the last place they


would share crop.
The millpond was a Norman
Rockwell setting, sheltered
with giant water oaks and
hundreds of acres of cypress
trees all draped in Spanish
moss. By the time Harley had
purchased the property, the
mill had stopped turning out
tons of grits and meal, and the
adjacent saw mill had ceased
operation.
It was here that Harley and
Ella shed copious amounts of
sweat in the 40' and 50's
raising four children and a
multitude of memories.
Ironically, had it not been for a
loan from a friend and
neighbor, Clarence Roberts,
they would not have ever
purchased the millpond and
acreage.
In remembering Lee, those
of us who give credence to the
part of the country we love the
most can say with a certainty
she was most proud of the
donation of the old corn crib
she knew as a young lId-v,
which was built by her father,
.Harley and his son-in-
lawDewitt in the late 40's.
The crib was recently
donated by Regina Parrish and,
her family to the city of Lake
Butler and now stands as a
silent sentential to all
passersby.


From the millpond to
Jacksonville and on to Heaven,
we remember a faithful wife
and mother and a devoted
sister. But to, me, she will
always be the most wonderful
iiht that a nephew could ever
have. She was never at a loss
for words of kindness to any in
need or in discomfort from the
daily perils of life. Just 10 days
before she died, her sister Iris
and nephew Bert sang Happy
Birthday to her. Just four days
before she died, she called Bert
to wish him a happy birthday
as well.
Lee's parents, Harley and
Ella Carlton 'are buried at
Elzey's Chapel Cemetery in
Union County. Her
grandfather, William Carlton,
great-grandfather and Civil
War veteran Dawson E.L.
Carlton and uncle Charlie
Carlton are buried at Hunt
Cemetery in Union County.
Lee is buried next to. her
husband, Walter, in Evergreen
Cemetery in Jacksonville.
Iris now lives in
Georgetown, Texas, and is the
only surviving child of Harley
and Ella Carlton.
This story was written by
Bert Brooks, the nephew of Lee
Carlton Turner. Brooks -is the
author of several books such
as Cracker, The Life


and Times of Ellua Carlton,

Telegraph Staff Writer
Bradford High School junior
Casey Hines went 4-1 and'
captured third place at the
Florida High School Athletic
Association Wrestling Finals
Feb. 14-16 in Lakeland.
"He wrestled his tail off,"
Bradford coach Joe Van
Vactor said.
Hines was making his
second straight appearance at
the state tournament, but this
year was, by far, more
memorable, he said.
Hines' only loss was to
Pasco's Eric Stroud, who
would go on to win the state
championship in the 215-
pound class.
"He was one of the strongest
guys I went against all year,"
Hines said.
Hines admitted he was a
little depressed after dropping
that match, which occurred in
the third round. However, he
decided finishing third was a
lot better than finishing sixth.
Stroud defeated Hines 12-3,
.but Hines bounced back to
defeat John Sennet of
Monsignor Pace 7-0. He then
claimed third place by
defeating Riverdale's Trey
Dunn 5-3.
Dunn was ranked number
one in the state entering the
tournament, but Hines was
clearly better conditioned, Van
Vactor said. In fact, Van

probably in better shape than

John Cooper
owes citizens
apology
Dear Editor:
Commissioner John Cooper
owes the citizens of Bradford
County an apology for his
misleading statements in a,
recent Telegraph.
His attack on oil companies
profits showed his Hillary-
Clinton-socialist-type thinking.
Profits made by these
companies belong to those that
had the faith to invest their
hard earned money in them.
These investors include
teachers, firemen, police,
doctors, lawyers and all the
workers who manage to save a
few dollars in spite of our
higher taxes.
The. main purpose of
government should be the
health and safety of the
citizens.
Health and safety includes
police, fire, garbage, recreation
and a few other items. We
have plenty of tax money to do
these required things from our
tax base.
People who buy homes on
unpaved roads know what they
are buying. If these people
want to pave their roads, there
should,be a special assessment
on their properties benefiting
from the paving. This way, be
it small property owners or the
large property owners could
pay according to the amount of

owned.
, John Cooper, ask yourself
why that tax money you used
to pave roads with is gone. The
taxpayers are fed up with your
type of spending.

Dear Editor:
We in Hampton would like
to express our deepest
sympathies to the family of
Major Alan Rogers for their
loss.
We also want his family to
know what deep sense of pride
and honor we feel to know that
a true American Patriot called
Hampton his home. We know

there are a lot of good people
who have been raised in
Hampton and a lot of good
people living here now. People
will go the extra mile to help
those in need and Major
Rogers embodied the best of
what we have to offer, not just
in Hampton but in the United
States as a whole.
As comfort in their grief his
family can have the knowledge
that without people like Major
Rogers we couldn't enjoy the
freedoms of being American. I
hope the young people of
Bradford County are inspired
to do something meaningful
with their lives in honour of
his ultimate sacrifice to make
that a possibility.

Legal drug
dealers
ruinIng lives
Dear Editor:
First I am -not trying to
attack or judge any individual
that. may work or be affiliated
with any business that I make
reference to. I am trying to
paint a more broad picture.
How many more lives have to
be ruined by "legal" drug
dealers' pharmaceuticals.
Please remember I'm not
labeling every sickness or
ailment across the board in
what I'm going to say.
A lot of our ills these days
are our doing. It matters what
we feed our body, spirit and
soul (mind). Our body, given
the right nutrients, is
remarkable at healing, itself.
But correction is hard to bear,
so we would rather, have the
quick fix. Now I'm not saying
doctors aren't needed. But
many doctors have become
little more than "pill pushers."

New Perceptions
ave.-d4aey dedicated to keeping individuals with developmental disab I
mies imnd institutions and helping them remain independent for as long as possib
ons hag;sthe services needed to accomplish this and we pride ourselves in giving our ,con"
cation, exposure, arid experience. Director Tina Hutchins has 22 years of experience in ti ie field
developmental disabilities and her staff as well has decades of experience.
Established in 2001
Specializing in Supported Living and Supported Employment,
and also supplying PCA, Companion, Respite, In-Home Supports


Supported Living:

Our Supported Living program has received'the highest
score possible on state review for the last 3 years. We
attribute this to our coaches' ability to teach our consumers
the skills needed to be independent, self-advocating, and safe
when faced with day-to-day situations. Our coaches also
make it a priority to ensure that our consumers are not
exploited and know their rights.
Our consumers in Supported-Living have some of the
cleanest apartments and homes in their communities. We
hold our consumers to the same' standards that we hold
ourselves. They have all-had the ability and they pride
themsI&lves in having clean and sanitary environments.
Consumers in our Supported Living program are taught
skills to manage their own health such as cooking healthful
meals, staying within dietary needs, making phone calls to'
set up appointments, calling in refills for medications, and all
other areas related to health.
At New Perceptions, we pride ourselves in having
knowledgeable staff members who can teach consumers all
needed skills and information to keep them healthy and
independent for as long as possible.
In Supported Living, our consumers choose where and
with whom they live, They are assisted with managing their
finances with the fewest restrictions possible, although if a
representative payee is needed, New Perceptions will
provide one while training the consumer to have as much
control as possible related to their specific situation or need.
Our Supported Living program is designed to assist
individuals with developmental disabilities only to the extent
that is needed to ensure continued independence-not to take
over or control their lives.


PCA Program:
Our PCA program is made up of.staff with the special gift of being able to
assist others with their most private personal care. Our staff receives training
in privacy and in how to assist someone and ensure their health, safety and
welfare, while being as discrete as possible. New Perceptions has a large
population of consumers who receive these services and have done so for
years with the same providers. We like to keep our consumers feeling
comfortable while using only our best and most experienced staff. Our PCA
providers are trained in any special areas of concern related specifically to
any consumer's need.


Supported Employnt ent:

Our Supported Employment program, allanough new, is
growing by leaps and bounds. We started c it with one coach
and are now in need of more. We love this program. It
enables our consumers to excel in jobs, which just a few
years ago, they would not have thought they could have.
We have consumers working at job sites from restaurants
to hotels to large retail chains to filing roorrms in
doctors'offices. We have consumers who h ave had their jobs
for more than 10 ye.s..:-
We hope to assist consumers in getting jolos in something
other than janitorial skills-or washing dishes. We believe
there are consumers in our-community who can be
successful-withtherigihtencouragement mtnd training-in
more mainstream jobls, nobtjust working in j anitorial services,
cleaning, and 'washing dishes.
We always liketo emphasize training. Tr dining is the key
to success for our consumers. If a consumer fails at a job, it
is due to lack of proper training or issues that are beyond the
consumer's control such. as layoffs, busine, s closings, or lack
of business. The consumer does not fail due to his or her
inability.
Most consumers, no matter what age, sev-e,(-rity of disability,
or skills, have the ability to work at a job in the community.
Our goal is to get as many consumers as p possible employed
in jobs that pay at least minimum wage. Ot hers would not
accept less, why should the developmental] ly disabled?



Companion, In-Home Supports 'and Respite:
Under these services, our consumers have built m any lasting
relationships with community pillars such,as the Liciins Club, North Florida
Regional Chamber of Commerce, Hometown Realtors, Bradford County
Telegraph, Charlotte's Bistro, Dolly's Restaurant, HEritage Villas
Apartments, Pine Forest Apartments, Starke Police l department, Bradford
County Public Library, Citgo, and the Veterans Adrmiimnistration.
We would like:to thank all of these entities and all, other retail stores in
our community. These services afford our consumers, the ability to get out
in the community and build natural and generic relationships that will last
lifetimes.,
With this service, our consumers are trained in ba sitc life skills such as
pedestrian safety, recognition of monetary denomination, money
management, etc., through education, exposure and experiences.


Qualified Staff: Our staff attends a lot of training in specialized areas such as: Alzheimer's, diabetes, medications and their possible side effects and contradictions,
physical therapy, district specific training, etc. Staff members are, at all times, aware and knowledgeable of HIPPA regulations, confidentiality and pi i vacy. We expect all
pertinent information to be protected by our staff. All staff members have training in CPR and in dealing with blood borne pathogens. All staff member s have to meet state
requirements of a Level 2 background screening, sign an affidavit of good moral character, have at least one year of experience, have earned a high scho( I diploma or GED, and
pass a local background screening. We make no exceptions.

TOUR
Continued from page 1 B

All in all, it should be quite
an atmosphere from Friday,
Feb. 22, through Monday, Feb.
25, Oehl said.
The Wings of Freedom Tour
begins with the arrival of the
three bombers at
approximately 1 p.m. on Feb.
22. Oehl figures to be the first
to arrive in the B-25. He will
have a special co-pilot-a
WASP, or Women Air
Services Pilot.
The two bombers that will
follow Oehl are the Boeing B-
17 Flying Fortress and the
Consolidated B-24 Liberator.
Oehl said the B-24 is the most
rare airplane one can see flying
'he skies.
"There were 18,500
Liberators built," Oehl said. "It
was the most produced
airplane in World War II, but
this is the last one in the world
flying."
Tours, rides and B-25 flight
instruction will be available
after the bombers' arrival until
5 p.m. Walk-through tours of
the planes is $10 for adults and
$5 for children 12-under.
Flights are $425 per person for
the B-17 and B-24 bombers
and $325/$400 per person for
the B-25 bomber. (Flight
experiences and tours are a
tax-deductible donation.)
i Tours, rides and flight
instruction will also be
available from 9 a.m. until 5
p.m. on Feb. 23-24 and from 9
:a.m. until 11 a.m. on Feb. 25.
There will be plenty to see
on Feb. 23-24. World War II
reenactors will be on site, as
will-displays of World War II
era vehicles and historical
exhibits. Oehl said a man is
bringing his collection of
-World War II-era
motorcycles-American,
British and German-which
includes a BMW bike that will
be towing an anti-aircraft gun
that works.
Camp Blanding and the
Military Vehicle. Preservation
Association will also be
bringing various vehicles.
"There will be a lot for
people to see outside of
airplanes," Oehl said.
Though if you want to see
planes, you will have the
opportunity. Besides the
bombers, there will be
performances by world
championship aerobats on Feb.
23 and Feb. 24.
'" Oehl said the event is aboti
the veterans ,as much as it is
anything else. 'With that in
mind, visitors have a unique
opportunity on Feb. 23 at 1


p.m. when a first-ever event
for Florida will take place-a
meeting of the American
Fighter Pilots Aces
Association, with four Aces in
attendance. Two of the Aces
who will be in attendance are
founding members of the
VMF-323 Death Rattlers and
VF-17 Jolly Rogers fighter
squadrons.
All four Aces have lengthy
lists of impressive
accomplishments.
"Their bios make James
Bond look like a librarian,"
Oehl said.
At 3 p.m. on the same day,
there will be a tribute to World
War II combat airmen.
WASPs will be honored
during another tribute,
scheduled for 11 am. on Feb.
24. Oehl said one of the
WASPs who will be in
attendance is Bea Haydu.
"She is the WASP who went
with Sen. Barry Goldwater and
Gen. Hap Arnold's son before
Congress in 1977 and secured
veterans' benefits for the
WASPs," Oehl said.
A special event will take
place the night of Feb. 23-a
USO-style dance from 6:30
p.m. until 9 p.m. The event
will feature the 22-piece Clay
County Swing Band Ensemble.
Tickets to this event are $20
when purchased by today, Feb.
21, and $25 when purchased at
the door. Call (352) 256-8037
for more information.
The dance is a fundraiser for
the Wings of Dreams Museum,
which will open in the future at
the Keystone Airport

A museum of
aviation dreams
When you think about it, is
there a better place to house a
vintage aircraft museum than
at the. Keystone Heights
Airport? Oehl would say no,
and not just because the airport
is a logical place to show off
historical aircraft.
"A portion of (the airport)
was a Germant POW camp
back during the
unpleasantries," Oehl said. "A
lot of people don't know that."
Oehl is. the executive
director of Wings of Dreams.
Susan King is the managing-
director and curator of the
.museum, which will also serve
as a restoration center for
vintage aircraft, or "warbirds,"
as they are called.
The idea for such a museum

that children today are not

school curriculum.
That is not the fault of
teachers, Oehl said. They
simply don't have resources to
such information.;-


The museum would provide
such a resource as a place to
go for field trips.
Aside from benefiting
school children, Oehl said the
museum would also tap into a
market he describes as


growing rapidly--historical
tourism'.
"We don't have very much

FOUR FORMS OF PROTECTION!


When you purchase an
automobile, what's the first
thing you take care of before
driving around town? You've
got to get insurance, of
course. It's no different
when you're ready to buy a
home, but you have some
more options.
First, understand that
there are four basic types of
insurance, some required,
some not. Title insurance
protects you. in the event that
title to the property is found
to be in question. You defi-
nitely want to purchase title
insurance as part of the clos-
ing transaction.
Homeowner's insurance
provides coverage in cases
of theft, damage and liabili-
ty. Your lender will require
this policy, so this is another
absolute necessity.
Flood insurance may or


may not be required,
depending on the location of
your new home. The federal
government provides this
policy to cover replacement
value of the home and its
contents. Consult with a
local real estate agent to
determine necessity and
restrictions.
Finally, a newer and very
popular form of "insurance"
is the home warranty, often
provided by the seller as
"peace of mind" for the
buyer. These are often one-
year policies that cover
repairs to systems and appli-
ances, and more details on
this are coming up in my
next column. In the mean-
time, consult with a real
estate agent if you have any
questions or concerns about
any of the insurance policies
addressed here.

Tigers can't withstand P.K. Yonge rally, lose by 11


BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
Everything seemed to bec
going right for the Union
:County Tigers, but P.K. Yonge
:came out looking like a brand
,new team in the second half,
outscoring the Tigers 40-16 en
route to a 51-40 win in a Class
-3A regional boys' basketball
quarterfinal game on Feb. 14
in Lake Butler.
Union held a 13-point lead
at the half, but the Blue Wave
scored 20 straight points in the
third quarter to take a one-
point lead.
Sampson Jackson did his
'best to keep the Tigers (17-11)
-in it. He scored 10 points in the
fourth quarter, including two
on a drive to the basket that
:tied the game at 36-all with
!five minutes to play.
: However, Jackson scored
the team's only points in the
quarter. His game-tying basket
was followed by four,
consecutive misses. P.K.
Yonge, which played Williston
in a semifinal game this past
Tuesday, went up by 10 during
that span.
"We couldn't match their
intensity late in the game,"
,Union head coach Lee Clark
said.
' The second half didn't start
toff so bad for the Tigers, as
they scored three straight to
open the third quarter. Chris
jEdenfield came up with a steal
and scored on a layup to put
&the Tigers up 28-12.
I That would be the final
score for the Tigers until
glackson hit a 3-pointer off of
%n inbounds play with less
than a minute left in the
,quarter. By that point, P.K.

Snodgrass and Walade Wade.
Another 3-pointer by
Jackson, who finished the
game with four, helped Union
keep pace with the Blue Wave
early in the fourth quarter.
'The Tigers actually came up
with some big plays
immediately after the Jackson
score that made the score 36-
all. Clyde Barringer drew a
charge-the fifth of the game
called against P.K. Yonge-
while Frankie Caldwell
blocked a shot.
However, the Tigers could
just not get the scores they
needed. P.K. Yonge made 12-
of-14 free throws in the final
three minutes to complement
two field goals, while the
Tigers could only get two
baskets from Jackson.


, The second half was a sharp
contrast to what occurred in
the first half. P.K. Yonge
converted on just two of 25
field goal attempts and
committed eight turnovers.
Still, it was just a one-point
Tigers lead after the first
quarter, but Union scored 11
straight to open the second.
Barringer scored all nine of
his points in the second
quarter. He opened the scoring
with a rebound putback, which
was followed by another
rebound putback by Alvin
Jernigan. Barringer had
another score before Caldwell
beat the Blue Wave defense
down the court to receive a
long pass off of a defensive
rebound and score, putting the
Tigers up 17-8.

BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
Clayton Mosley gave up just
two hits and struck out 11 to
help the Keystone Heights
baseball team defeat visiting
Bradford 3-0 on Feb. 15.
Mosley also drove in the
first run of the game on a
sacrifice fly in the first inning
that scored Brett Anderson.
That would prove to be all the
run support he needed.
"The tone he set, pitching-
wise, was awesome," said
Keystone head coach Alan
Mattox, whose team improved
to 1-1.
I Bradford (0-2) had some
opportunities to score. The
Tornadoes had runners on first
and second in the third inning,
but Mosley pitched his way
out of the inning. Later, he
would record a strikeout to end
a threat in the fifth inning,
when Bradford had runners po
second and third.
"He did a great job,"
Bradford head coach Lamar
Waters said of Mosley.
Mosley was not the only
pitcher who put forth a solid
outing. Bradford's David
Duncan earned the loss, but he
allowed five hits and struck
out eight.

A permit for Dr. J. Crayton
Pruitt's latest coastal development
here that was expected to be
approved Tuesday by the
Suwannee River Water
Management District (SRWMD)

the State Department of
Community Affairs (DCA)

DCA's threat surprised both
the project's staff as well as


SRWMD.
"I've beeninvolved in permitting.

never seen this happen before,"

Fires destroy 2



homes, pavilion

Two house fires and a fire at the Keaton Beach pier have kept local
firefighters on the run this week.
The first was an early morning residential fire at a home on Golf Course
Road Feb. 2. When Taylor County Fire-Rescue (TCFR) units arrived on
scene around 1 a.m., the home was fully involved.
It took more than five hours to put out the fire and clear the scene, TCFR
officials said.

Fallout continues from Amendment 1


More than two weeks have
passed since the Jan. 29 primary
and the dust is settling from
passage of Amendment 1 which is
projected to reduce revenue for
local governments, in Taylor
County by approximately $1
million.
Gov. Charlie Crist, while
announcing his budget recently,
acknowledged Amendment l"s
impact on fiscally constrained
counties such as Taylor. To offset
those impacts, Crist is
recommending $26.2 million in
recurring funds, not beginning
until July 2009.
Representatives from the Small
County Coalition, however, have
pointed out that the language
approved last fall by the legislature


included a provision for fiscally
constrained counties beginning in
the 2008-09 fiscal year,
"Although we appreciate the
acknowledgment of the impact of
Amendment 1 on Florida's fiscally
constrained counties, waiting until


July of 2009 to offset the revenue
reductions will cause unnecessary
budget turmoil during Fiscal Year
2008-2009--only to be turned-
around in Fiscal Year 2009-2010,"
said John Cooper, chairman of the
Small County Coalition and


commissioner from Bradford
County.
"We believe the members of the
Florida Legislature understood
what they meant when they passed
legislation during the special
session on property tax reform


which included a promise that
fiscally constrained counties
would not suffer revenue
reductions estimated to result from
the implementation of Amendment
1."
During the special session, the
Florida Legislature included
Section 9 in Senate Bill 4D
*assuring Fiscally Constrained
counties that beginning in fiscal
year 08-09 the legislature would
appropriate moneys to offset the
revenue reductions experienced as
a direct result of the
implementation of Amendment 1
or any revision proposed in the
November 2008 general election.

The Taylor County Commission
will meet with Doctors' Memorial
Hospital's board of directors next
week to discuss the hospital's
continuing financial crisis.
It will be the first time the two
boards have met since the county
denied a request from DMH for a
$500,000 bail-out in January.
The boards will hold a workshop
Monday, Feb. 18, at 6 p.m. in the
hospital's Windows Cafe.
"I'm going there to talk about
our efforts to turn around the
hospital," CEO Charles Darcy said
Tuesday.
Giving a brief update on the
situation at DMH, Darcy said that
admissions have been up over the
past week, with census numbers
reaching the 30s.
Low admissions have been one
of the biggest targets of blame for
the hospital's struggles, with
census numbers averaging 10-12
over the past several months.
"It is impossible to predict
admissions," Darcy said. "The
increase is expected as we hit our


busy season, but it usually happens
in January."
Attempting to dispel rumors,
Darcy said the hospital will be able
to make its payroll this week.
"I'm looking at the financial on
a day-to-day basis. We can make
payroll, but there are vendors that
want to get paid. It is a struggle to
meet our commitments."
He added that the hospital is
continuing its outreach to the
community and meeting with
medical staff weekly to discuss the
situation.
"We are working to educate the
community. If they have questions
or concerns about quality of care,
we need to answer them," he said.
As for the hospital
reorganization, Darcy said efforts
"to get expenses in line and under
control are going very well."
The recent uptick in admissions
will also help revenue, but Darcy
stated again that admissions can't
be predicted.

Livestock auction slated Feb. 21


By LORI WIGGINS.
4-H Extension Agent'
More than 125 exhibitors from
Taylor, Madison, Jefferson,
Suwannee, Lafayette and
Hamilton counties will be
showcasing their swine and steer at
the 2008 North Florida Livestock
Show & Sale-in Madison Feb. 18-
21.
The exhibitors began raising and
caring for their animals last fall. It
takes a lot of hard work to care for
these animals as well as getting


them ready for the show.
Animals must be broke to lead,
exercised and special attention
must be given to feed and care
management.
Each exhibitor is also
responsible for keeping daily
records of their animal, writing a
project story and documenting the
project through photos.
And, of course, exhibitors
must be diligent in the ever-
daunting "task of. finding a
buyer/sponsor.


This year you and your family
should stop by and check out the
show in Madison.
The swine show will held be
Monday, Feb. 18, at 6 p.m.
followed by the livestock scramble
on Feb. 19 at 7 p.m., the steer show
Feb. 20 at 6 p.m. and the Youth and
Livestock Sale/Auction Feb. 21 at
7 p.m.

"If we can continue to control

positive revenue, we will have
time for the turn-around changes I
will discuss at the workshop," he
said. "These changes need to be
surveyed by the state and approved
by the state. We need time to

He pointed out that population
and business growth projections
made at the time the new hospital
were proposed have not occurred.
"Everything was done in good
faith. They expected a population
increase that didn't happen," Darcy


said.
"That doesn't change the fact
that we have a hospital that has a

He referenced the leasebetween
Taylor County and DMH for the

that DMH will be primary source
of healthcare in the county.
"That's my main focus:
providing 'access to healthcare to

fiWds. ::
li looks like everything is a bit

st~e budget. "Several funding
ciles have been delayed."
another r issue local officials are
ninitoring is the scheduled sunset
ojaylor County's designation as a
RWral Area of Critical Economic
Chicern.
.ope _r Gov. Jeb Bush, in April


2003, declared by executive order
10 North Florida counties along
with Baker, Jefferson, Levy and'
Putnam counties as the state's third
area of concern.
The designationwill sunset June
.30 unless Crist intervenes with his
own executive order.
According to Brown, the county
benefits greatly from the
designation, from extra points on
state grants to additional
development incentives.
For example, the designation
assists the county when applying
for Department of Environmental
Protection Florida Recreation
Development Assistance Program
(FRDAP) grants. In recent years,
Taylor County' has received some
$400,000 through that program
benefiting the sports complex.
"The designation was originally
designed to focus attention on
those areas to provide catalyst
projects to help revitalize their
economies," Brown said.
Early discussions with
representatives from the Small
County Coalition, to which Taylor
belongs, added to local concerns
that Crist may not continue the
designation.
Further discussions this week,
however, have.made it appear that
Crist will move to renew it, Brown
said.
"We want everyone to know that
we're concerned about it and are
working to ,eep~pre this critical
designation is continued." he
added.


The latest revenue cuts come at a
time when the county is already
facing a number of financial
issues.
t One of the biggest is that
approximately one half of the
county's available cash is currently
in the beleaguered State Board of
Administration Local Government
Investment Pool, which has been
plagued by financial problems
since late November.
Some $2.6 million is in locked in
the so-called Fund B, which the
county cannot access. The
remainder can be withdrawn, but
only by suffering a two percent
penalty.
In December, the county
withdrew all the funds that it could
withdraw without incurring the
penalty, that money is currently
invested in a local bank, along with
any tax funds received since.
The county has already lost
more than $ 100,000 in interest that
had been budgeted as revenue for
this year. That amount is expected
-to increase as the county will
receive no interest on the $2.6
million locked in Fund B.
The county has 'also been
notified that shared revenue from
state sales tax could drop more
than $150,000 below expected
levels due to a drop in tourism
numbers.
Additionally, several Florida
legislators are already talking
about further property tax reforms
to be proposed during the
upcoming session.

How about a good breakfast-

Saturday & a good speaker?
-*',, ,. '-' .


urely hope it is acceptable for
umnist to write about her own
.*rthday party. Yes, I ama child of
f-he 60s. "The Mamas and The
S:papas." "Lovin' Spoonful,"
"Guess Who," "The Beatles" and
Ail the greats were our idols. It
seems just like yesterday to me.
The years do have a way of rolling
by.
* You see, I turned 60 yesterday.
"Yesterday, all my troubles seemed
s6far away, now I need a place to
hideaway.." Well not really.
iBec.ause "yesterday"--which is
now further in history than 24
iirs--l had a blast at the 60th
itithday celebration ,my- children
ltitsed for me.
"1 had this great idea 'of a talent
show for my birthday, and my kids
Jim .and. Mandy, Jill and Jolley
hosted the affair in the reception
room- of Blue Creek Baptist
Church. So it was my party and I
did request that if my friends
wanted to bring, a gift tome, they
should bring their talerit.
-My.grandsons Jayce, Luke and
la i Blume performed a: birthday
song for me. They were dressed in
black pants and white shirts with


Linda Stoddard, D.V.M.

Hank Stoddard, D.V.M., D.T.V.M.

black ties. They sang about how
wonderful I am. Now I have to
believe my grandsons, don't I?
They did another selection and I
was invited' to dance with them. I
might not want to admit I am 60,
but that exercise proved it.
Other friends brought talent to
perform as gifts in my honor and as
I had requested. Brian Johnson
from Keaton beach, played the
piano; Rinda Denson, youth leader
at our church played the flute.
Rinda's flute playing had us all
humming along with her-- it was
beautiful.
Morgan Cribbs kept the hula
hoop swirling for more time that
you can believe. Diane Richey of
Leisure Retreats read an acrostic
with wonderful adjectives
representing the letters of my
name. She also sang with me as I
played the piano and sang.
Our pianist from Bluecreek,
Annette Land, sang and
.accompanied our rendition of
"How Great thou Art." Suzanne
Bassett, from Perry, played a
beautiful praise song on her flute.
It was so beautiful the crowd was
singing along with her before she


finished her number. Shelia and
Johnny Blue, from Dekle Beach,
wrote and sang a song especially
for me, to the tune of "Sixteen
Candles." Of course, you can
guess how many candles they did
mention?!?
Nancy Bell, who jointly owns a
home and vacations at Cedar
Island, presented me with a
summary of all our bridge club
mementos, and even wore one of
our bridge retreat T-shirts with our
emblem logo "I Delta Club"
slightly faded on the front. It was
amazing to see that old t- shirt
again, and the more amazing fact
was that Nancy was able to model
it after 20 years. Arica Land
played the piano. Juliann Miles
twirled the baton. And last, and
maybe even the youngest to
perform, Adyn Cribbs ( star and
winner of "America's Funniest
Home Videos") sang "Jesus Loves
Me."
In my family it was 'custom for
me to design and build .a paper
mache pinata for my children's and
grandchildren's birthdays. Yet
this time my grandsons made one
for me. What a hoot that was!

Vaughan Early says it's pretty
simple: you show up at First

at 8 a.m. and you are served a
fantastic breakfast by David
Culpepper, known for his culinary
talents.
Then, while in the company of
other "fine men in the

community to join us," he urges.:
"It's going to be a great morning,;
with a great speaker."
Varnedoe recently published hisi
book, "Called To Excellence:'
Redefining Success in the,
Marketplace."
The story line is also pretty,
simple: Varnedoe was ambitious!
and successful businessman at age!
34 with the whole package: the:
lovely wife, the nice home, the!
four children. But at that very?
successful point in life, this driveni;
man didn't know where he was:
headed.
Now 69, Varnedoe writes about,
what happened to him and his: '
career when his allegiance to God:
brought him to a better
appreciation of Christian values:
and service.
"It didn't happen all at once, andi
he admits that he's never done it:
perfectly, but he feels his story:
may help others to serve Godj
better," Early said.
"He tells how he trained himself'
to focus first on God and then on;
his family, his employees and'-
others with whom he had daily'
contact," Early said. "He didn't;
lose his business priorities but he!
re-arranged a few." .
Early, Pastor Larry D. Neal and'
all the men at First Presbyterian'
Church cordially invite ofthes in
the. community to join them for
this breakfast.

"We Are In His Care"
When burdens seem unbearable
and life appears unfair;
We must remember God knows
all and we are in his care.
He never gives more than we
can, bear though sometimes it
seems so, but desperation and
distress wiill all eventually go.


So if we place our trust in God to
ease our weary day, and put the
sunshine back in our life, the
clouds will go away.
No life is ever free of pain or
troubles and despait;
We must remember God knows
all and keeps us in his care.

Dear Editor:
A couple of days ago I made one
of my fairly frequent trips to
Tallahassee. I notice that my gas
tank was kind of low, and
considered filling up before I hit
the road. However, I saw that the.
average price per gallon for regular
here in Perry was $2.99.9, and
decided to wait until I got to Leon
County.
Sure enough, the price per,
gallon for regular up there was
$2.89.9; a full 10 cents per gallon
cheaper than here in Perry.
Now, that isn't really unusual;


any anyone who travels up that
way can verify. In fact, over the
years, I've never seen the price in
Tallahassee, per gallon, to be less
" than five or six cents cheaper than
here in Taylor County.
Believe it or not, a few weeks
ago I was up there and the gas was
actually 15 cents a gallon less than
, here in Perry.
Now that ig ridiculous, and I
challenge anyone to give me a
credible explanation. I doubt very
much if any of pour "wise ones".
could do it with a straight face,
With the national fuel situation


prices
in such a frightening state to begin.
with, I think it's criminal that local
governments would allow-.
something so disgraceful to exist.
I'm amazed that people haven't
rebelled long before this. or
Surely there must be some
agency here in our Taylor County
government with the authority to-
do something positive about this. .,:
If there is, I would like to ask-
them that old question, "Are you.,,
working toward a solution, or are..
you part of the problem?"
Most sincerely,
John D. Alexander.

Every year, as the calendar smiles at Feb.
14, unlikely men can be seen ambling up
and down the streets of Perry, carrying
roses, red beribboned gift bags and boxes
of chocolate.,
It is a sight to behold.
I always want to stop and talk with
them--each one of them. I'm curious
about what's in the bag, how they thought
of it, and if I'd approve.
Invariably, these mep will lament that
they can't find a card which delivers the
appropriate message.
"Write your own," I always suggest with
enthusiasm, and that deer-in-the-
headlights look suddenly finds its way to
their faces.
'Wri te mhy ow v?" each will rp6tbttt'k to "
me, as froth gathers in the corners of his
mouth.
I get the sense that writing down
personal sentiments is more difficult than'
saying, in the presence of an ordained
minister, "I do."
So as students leap into Florida Writes
or FCAT Writing tests, I want to help their
fathers. Get your pen out and take notes.
If you look like Tom Cruise, you don't
really have to say anything. But if you
can't replicate his looks, you might want
to take a line out of the movie, "Jerry
Maguire." In the quiet of the moment with
the confidence that good looks and
several million dollars can bring, say to
her, "I need you....you complete me."
And let that sentence hang in the air.,
In the thickness of the moment.
You'll be in the wife's good graces until
Easter. And she will tell you, "You had me
at hello."
Then enjoy your evening.
As trite as "Roses are red" verses can be,
women admire creativity and the fact that
you cared enough to send your very best.
They will keep your verse in a shoebox
along with that first anniversary card you
remembered to send (hopefully, for the
first anniversary).
If you've been married for a thousand
years, and you need to find a reason to
celebrate--in addition to precious, undying
love--why don't you tweak the verse:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,.
We're not dead,
And no bills are due.
She will laugh and remember why she
married you. (By the way, that's
important. Really important.)
If you prefer a frivolous version of
violence, which is only suggested because
Cupid himself never left the house
without a bow and arrow, I recommend a

chocolate-covered "gun" (not the real.:
thing, please) and a mask. Your card or t-"
shirt should read, "Give me your hearts
and nobody will get hurt."
Think about what you might tell me, or
a total stranger, about your Valentine.
Sometimes it's easier to tell a woman who
has no stake in your marriage, about the
woman, who keeps your marriage afloat.
Over fried chicken at the Kiwanis Club
recently, one Kiwanian said to me, "I can't -
imagine my life without her," when.

can come up with an endorsement like
that. nam, .
t- It6wn. Suddenly, you're-a poet
and your, wife falls in love with you all
over again.
You can always resort to lines first.-
penned by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (tell"
her that you've been reading poetry in-
your spare time): "How do I love you? Let
me count the ways...,," I suggest a -
legal sheet of paper for this, and you'd
better make the list long. Include the.-
laundry, the names of each of the kids,.
and all the plants which survive at her
mercy alone.
Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman
are for the glamourous romantics among-.
us, who swoon in black-and-white. Rent
the movie and reinind your Valentine in-
your script, "We'll always have Paris."
Of course, if you've never been to Paris,.
you could say, with a French accent: "We'll
always have Perry," though it might not:
have the same effect.
Doesn't matter; she'll love you, although
she may wonder if you've-been drinking.
If she loves. "Sleepless in Seattle," you
must reference "An Affair to Remember"
and cause her to ponder your likeness to-.
Cary Grant.
Do not do your "Judy, Judy, Judy"
imitation. l
Or use this quotation (by Plven Bano)::
"Love that is true never, grows. old." It
,sounds so 'simple, you can say it was.
original.
Just sign your name to it.
Flash your best smile.
And no matter what else you do, don't:,
ask something stupid like, "Did you forget:
to get the dog's flea medicine?"
It's a.touchy week. Get out there and do
something touchy, or February (which is"
already longer by a day this year) will be a
treacherous month to navigate,
Go ahead.
You can do it.
I know you can.

Writer prays people get behind DMH


Dear Editor:
I have lived in Perry for 12
years. I have been a patient of
Doctors' Memorial Hospital a
number of times.
:';l have had tests of all kinds, been
to the ER, ICU, outpatient surgery
and on three occasions have spent
at least a week in the hospital as a


patient. I have had five surgeries at
the hospital; four by Dr. Nelson
and one by Dr. Thornberry. All
were successful.
Only on two occasions have I
had any problems and these were
cleared up immediately. The
service has always been good, the
staff friendly and the food good. I


am so thankful for Dr. Nelson and
Dr. Mohammed. We are very
fortunate to have them.
I hope and *pray the people of
Perry and the other physicians will
get behind our hospital and support
it, rather than criticize it. We all
can't be perfect.

.Dear Perry and Taylor County Citizens:
Forty-two years ago you accepted me and my family into your conmmnnit., You gave us a
place to worship, schools for my children to attend. beautiful recreation areas, and many of you
trusted me with your health care. For all these blessings my family and I say, "Thanks."
After considering several factors, I have decided to retire from the practice of medicine. My
office will be open through February 29. 200(>.
Many of you will ask, "What are you going tq do then?" Not nm. thing greatly different than
our several years in Perry. We will continue living here and not alter our activities greatly.
Over the years. I have seen people get really excited .when they anticipate retirement. That is
not my case. I have enjoyed my work greatly and still do.
Once again, to the many wonderful people in this county I want to express my gratitude.
I remain...
Sincerevly yours,
-t -y! Ho--rne. M.D.
