Employees 'steal' Christmas
Employee theft w'as on the
criminal short list of things to
accomplish during the Christmas
holidays, according to reports filed
with the Perry Police Department.

that she left her purse at work
which contained several hundred .
dollars. A short time later, she
realized the loss, returned to work
and found it missing.
Police were called to the scene
and asked the manager. Samuel
Zaed. to allow them to review the
security videotape during the time
in question, since the theft took
place in an area of the store only
accessible by employees.
"The recording showed the
victim place her purse on top of
some loa'es of bread on a counter
in the kitchen area." said PPD Pil.
Katherine Schneider. "The
recording then shows the victim
leaving the area without her purse.
"I then saw another employee.
Dorothy J. Hamilton. 46, go to the
purse, pick it up and place it in a
cardboard box in an effort to
conceal it." Schneider added.
Hamilton then moved the box
out of sight of the camera.
When Hamilton was confronted
w ith the recording. "she stated that
she had only picked up an egg
carton and did not take the purse."
Hamilton was arrested and
charged with grand theft, after
being transported to the Taylor

where the store manager told them
that one of the two cashiers on
duty thie day prior, had accepted a
personal two-party check for $415
from a customer.
The check had been processed
through a scan system, which
alerts the cashier if there is a
problem with the bank account the
personal check is written from,
but the scanner was indicating the
check was only for the amount of
$15 and an approval number had
been issued for it.
"The cashier then ran the same
personal check through the scanner
again, two hours later," according
to PPD Ptl. Kristina Reis, "but
this time, the same check was
written for $415. This second scan
of the check was denied. The check
was included in the cashier's
deposit for her shift, which.
balanced her cash drawer."
The cashier, Kibryonna Shonta
King, 20, was interviewed by
Reis, who said she had no
knowledge of the customer, who
brought the check in, except that
he was a white male, possibly in
his late. 20s or 30s, and that she
had given him change from. the
check totaling approximately'
"three-hundred and something
back."
During another interview, a.few
days.later, King told officers that

January schedule will be
extremely tough.
"We did this in order to get
them ready for the tough
competition they will face in the
district tournament and, hopefully,
the state playoffs," the coach said'.
The Lady Bulldogs face two
district foes at home this week.
Florida High comes to town
Wednesday for a 6 p.m. match
before Suwannee visits on Friday.
Following a trip to Maclay on
Jan. 11, Taylor County will play
in the Chiles Queen of Kings
Tournament Jan. 14-15.
The Lady 'Dogs are scheduled
to' open that tourney against
Panama City Arnold, the team that
knocked them out of the state
playoffs last season.
A win would pit TCHS against
one of the top teams in the state,
either host Chiles or Pensacola
Gulf Breeze.
On Jan. 20, Taylor County
travels to- second-ranked (in 5A)
Tallahassee Lincoln prior to the
district tournament Jan. 24-27 in
Live Oak.
"Over the next several weeks,
Swe will have a greji opportunity\
to upset some of the state's finest
teams but, more importantly, we
will have a chance to raise our
level of play going into the district
tournament," Puhl said.
Puhl, who has coached the Lady
Bulldogs for the past 10 seasons,
said none of his teams have ever
won a district title and a home
field advantage in the first rouid
of the state playoffs.
"This team, if they continue to
work hard, has a good shot," he
said.

Teens visit nursing home at Christmas
The Taylor County High
School girls soccer team visited
Marshall Health & Rehabilitation
Wednesday, Dec. 22, to bring
Christmas cheer to some of the
residents.
The trip was organized by the
players, wishing to thank the
community for all the support
they have received. The players
brought baked goods, candy, and
gifts for many of the residents.,
Afterwards the team paid a
surprise visit to the assistant
coach's mother and 89-year-old
grandmother. Assistant Doug
Cantrell said that if his mom and
grandma couldn't get to the game
to see the team, then the team
would just have to come and see
them.
Coach Kerry Puhl said, "This is
a great group of girls who play
well together and treat each.other
like family. They want to make a
positive difference together, on
and off the field."
The team then gathered for a
Christmas team dinner at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Randy
Speas.
Marshall Health & Rehabilitation residents enjoyed a visit
from the TCHS girls soccer team just before Christmas.

Bronson warns of tsunami scam artists
'Florida Agriculture and
Consumer Serxices Commissidner
Charles H. Bronson iswarning the
public to beware of potential scam
artists posing as relief agencies for
the victims of the tsunami in
Asia.
"It's clear that there will be a
great need for assistance for the
tens of thousands of victims of.
'this terrible disaster." Bronson
said. "But people w\ho want to
help need to ensure their donations
Share going to actual victims and not
to con artists."
In Florida. most charitable
organizations are required by, state
law to be registered with the
Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services and provide
financial information. That
information is compiled on the
Department's web site'
www.S00helpfla.com and in the
annual "Gift Givers' Guide," a
popular consumer publication
. which shows how much money an
organization has raised, the
previous year,' how much was
spent on program services.
administrative costs, and fund-
raising activities. Consumers can
also contact the Department's
consumer hotline at 1-800-
HELPFLA (1-800-435-7352) to
determine whether a charity is
properly\ registered and find out the
complaint history. of a charity.
The department has' received
reports in past disasters -- such as
wildfires and following the
terrorist attacks of September .11,
2001 -- of organizations seeking
help for victims and pocketing the
money. .It 'is difficult to
investigate these, cases ,because
scam artists have usually left an
area before anyone realizes they
ha\e been conned. Bronson says
it is incumbent on consumers to
take precautions to 'avoid being
victimized. Consumers may be
approached over the phoie, on the
Internet. or through direct mail.
Bronson also provides tihe
following tips to consider when
deciding whether to donate to an
organization:
"r Don't judge an organization
based onl an impressive-sounding,
name. Find out what it actually
'does.
Be wary of emotional appeals
and organizations that have only
vague plans for spending the funds
they collect.
Ne' er give cash: Write a
check' payable only to an
organization. not an individual.
-- Be wary of organizanons.that
offer to send a "runner" to pick up
your donation. Reputable
charities are willing to wait for
your contribution.
-- Consumers have the right to
ask for an organization's financial
report and its federal tax
identification.number, the latter of-
\ which you will need to claim your
contribution as a tax deduction
If an' organization is not
re.istired. contact the Department.
: Consumers who have additional
questions or want to report 'a
potential scam should call the
Department's hotline at 1-800-,
HELPFLA (1-800-435-7352).

in Perry, that he was treated so kindly by the community
when he was here and was glad to be a part of it'this past year.

The good people of
Taylor always give'
Dear Editor:
Just as Debra McGrew of the
Refuge House, I too feel a special
link with the editorial written
years ago entitled "Yes, Virginia,
there is a Santa Claus.".
As December rolled around I
found myself praying for a little
Christmas Spirit and not 'so 'much
of the Scrooge state of mind I was
finding myself in. That's when.
the good. people of Taylor County
-responded, as they always seem to
do, and came to the aid of the
Needy School Children's
organization. '
Through the efforts of several.
local churches, numerous
businesses and countless
individuals, many families had a
much happier Christmas holiday.
I would like to thank these people;
there are too many to name
individually but they know who
they are. You truly are special
angels and are appreciated far more
than you know.
So on behalf of the Needy
School Children's organization,
thank you for all your support.
Sincerely,
Rhonda Brooks
District School Social Worker
Donors appreciated
Dear Editor:
I would like to. thank the
following companies and
volunteers,. Sons of Confederate
Veterans ($200), Buckeye (Pulp
Drying $351), which supplied
Christmas gifts for local Taylor
County children. ,They played a
big part in making a magnificent
Christmas for several children.
Without their support and
donations, Christmas would have
been different for these children.
Again, thanks so much and God
bless.
Sincerely,

president ':. ,
The Long Term Care
Ombudsman Cohncil is a group of.
concerned citizens whose goal is
to improve the 'quality of life for
people who, live in long-term care
facilities such as nursing homes,
assisted living facilities, adult
family care homes and long-term
care units in hospitals.
The onibudsmjni's job is to
protect the rights of residents and
assure -that they receive fair
treatment and quality care by:
investigating and 'resolving
complaints; visiting each facility
at least annually to evaluate
conditions; ensuring that residents
receive the legal, financial, social
and rehabilitative, services to
which they are entitled; acting as a
mediator; educating residents,
families, and facility: staff;
providing information to the
Public; .assisting with the
establishment of' family and
resident councils; representing
residents' rights before the state
and federal government to change
laws; regulations and policies
which affect those in these
'facilities.
SThe Ombudsman Program urges
families, residents, relatives or
friends, to first speak with the
facility' administrator. "Often a
meeting with the administrator,
will resolve the, problem."
However, if you are not satisfied
or the problem continues, contact
the Ombudsman Council at (850)
921-4703 or toll-free at 1-888-
831-0404.
It is not necessary to give your
name, but it is better if you do
supply that information. When
resolving complaints, the council
and its representatives keep the
individual's identity confidential
'unless given permission to
disclose the information.
The Long-Term Care
Ombudsman Council
By SUSAN H. LINCOLN
When the. daughter 'was leaving home
after Thanksgihing, we stood in agreement.
at the foot of her bed. :
"You need a new mattress,".I said, and
she nodded. -.
There's nothing wrong with her current
mattress except that it's 27 years old. It's
the first one I bought when I left home, got.
a job and began career that I thotight
would last a few years...before I got rich,
faimoii, ,or was.: taken care of in .t-he
manner to which I had grown accustomed.
Twenty-seven years later, the daughter
is still using that mattress, but needs a
new one, and I'm still going to work most
days.
"Give me until Christmas break, and."I'll
get you one," said I.
Christmas, as you know, has a way of
hitting, you like a baseball bat between the
eyes. The night before she arrived home
again, I remembered my promise, and
realized I had neither the time nor the
money to fulfill it.
'She complained not one word about the
mattress which throw's you from either
side of the bed to the middle where you
sink helplessly. I was grateful for that;
after all, there were presents under the
tree and I didn't think she'd get real excited
about a mattress with a red ribbon upon it.
I didn't feel too badly until we arrived at
the first grandmother's house. on our
holiday excursion.
"You girls have the sleeper sofa," said
the grandmother to my daughter and her
first cousin.(
Their faces were downtrodden.
'I'm not sleeping there again," said the
cousin, a little presumptuous to be sure,
but polite enough.
"We slept there at Thanksgiving and it
was horrible. What. about the twin
mattresses you've stored under the guest
room bed?" the cousin asked.
The grandmother smiled sweetly.
"Honey, we've'got 12 people sleeping here
tonight. I need you girls to sleep on the
pull-out sofa."
This particular sleeper sofa has a large
hump at what would be the equator if the
mattress were a hemisphere., You can't
hardly choose sides, you just have to fold
yourself in half at the waistline like a
Barbie doll.
If you pad the bed (which we tried) to
elevate the head, then you sleep as if you
were on the side of a mountain....very-
carefully. Your feet go numb within a
couple of hours and you have bad dreams.
Some of them come true.
If you prop up the foot of the bed--trying
to rid the mattress of its equatorial hump--
all the blood rushes to your head and you
feel faint.
So we put the girls in there sideways.
Even as short as they are, ,their feet
dangled a bit at the ends. The hump at the
equator nicely defined the sides and, once-
sleep came, neither could tell the other
was on the same mattress. Nor did they
brag about a good night's rest.
The next day, the girls begged their aunt
(who lives 46 miles from this
grandmother's house) to please go home.
We love you; we love our gifts; can we
have your bed? She was quick to relent
and they reported a good night's sleep
with pillows %which make you stand up and
salute...
"Life is rarely perfect," I tried to explain.
"At.least you got a good mattress...and if
you're -really quick you can have the
bathroom now too."-
Distraction is one of my finer parenting:
skills.
The next day, we packed our suitcases
ag ii'-forlt second grandmother's house.
She met us at the back door to hug our
necks and direct the husband who dragged
in 'all our worldly belongings in oversized
suitcases.
"Listen, sweetie," she said to the
daughter. '"I still haven't gotten a new
mattress, so I need you to sleep in that
back bedroom."
I shouldn't have laughed, but the
daughter's countenance drooped so
dramatically...and so did her good nature,
not to mention her shoulders. It seemed to
be a Mattress Conspiracy and.she was at
the center of it.
"What about him?" said the daughter
pointing at her brother.
"Well, he has the twin bed and I haven't
changed the sheets on it since your last
visit. The back bedroom has fresh
sheets..."
"And the worst mattresss in the world
except for the one I just slept on and, of
course, that other one at my own house.
I'm going to be permanently disfigured,"
she, moaned. .
"You'll be fine," I assured her. 'It's just
two :nights and we'll give you the
bathroom first with endless hot water and
the first pick at the towels. You can use
all of them if you want to."
Remembering from our last visit that this
mattress would throw an unsuspecting
sleeper off the left side like a bucking
bronco, she built a replica of the Great
Wall of China out of pillows and and their
shams to prevent her from rolling off the
side to imminent doom.
A night light was missing from the stand,:
so I handed her a flashlight and a copy of
a story I thought she might enjoy: The:
Princess and the Pea. It's Hans Christian
Andersen's story of a princess, countless
mattresses and a mundane dried pea.
I looked desperately for a moral,
suggesting that this princess who slept
fitfully ended up marrying the prince and
lived happily ever after.
The daughter eyed me skeptically..."Oh
yeah," she said, with her face smashed.
into the mattress, noting that no one had
read her a bedtime story in at least 13
years.
The real moral to the story emerged
when we completed our journey and found
ourselves--1000 miles later--back in in
Perry, Fla: The daughter awakened the
next morning, stretched, smiled and
declared: "That mattress is not so bad
after all." I smiled, too: it's all about
perspective and realizing that's, it's always
better and worse, somewhere else.
Having said that, we're now convinced,
that now we're going to live happily ever
after. It's a moral we can love.
