Isadore "Izzy" Rommes is conducting an investigation into allegations of misconduct among soldiers at the Army's Camp Bucca prison in Iraq last year. The allegations gained national attention Saturday when it was widely reported that a female -omdier from the 105th Military Police Battalion, a National Guard unit from Asheville. N.C., was demoted due to her role in a mud- wrestling match which allegedly took place at the detention camp. Deanna Allen. 19. of Black Mountain. N.C.. has been dubbed the "Camp Bucca flasher" after photographs of her "flashing" her breasts during the party were leaked to the New York Daily News. According to reports, an initial investigation of the incident by officials in Iraq noted that sergeants from the 160th battalion--which Rommes commands--allegedly organized the wresllng match.

The topic came up late last year when County Manager Buddy Humphries informed the commission that no one is currently under contract to operate the Aucilla facility, also known as Williams Landing.

With small smiling faces looking on, Child Development Paraprofessional Amy Bowden was named Taylor School District's School-Related Employee of the Year Tuesday morning. During the presentation of roses and plaques, Superintendent of Schools Oscar Howard Jr. said Bbwden "is an excellent employee, and does a marvelous job with the children in the program. Amy is truly a representative of the non- instructional staff which we have in Taylor County schools." In nominating Bowden, who has worked at Pre-K for the past 12 years, Coordinator Sharon Hathcock lavished praise. '"Amy has truly been an asset to the Pre-K Program since 1993. Iri January 2004, Amy was awarded her AAS Degree in early childhood. She worked hard to make time in her life to further her education. Mrs. Bowden exhibits all of the qualities of a truly excellent employee. She is dedicated to making her classroom an optimal place for children to learn. "There are many adjectives that could be used to describe her work ethic. A good description of Amy as an employee would be committed, caring and capable. She is always ready to help with any endeavor. She has worked on curriculum mapping initiatives, volunteered to be a part of both the FAMU Values for Life Research Project and the FSU Pre-School Curriculum Evaluation Research Project and assists with technological repairs for our program.

St. Marks officials informed Humphries in November that an. annual permit would be okay but it couldn't be limited to just Taylor County residents. S"This is in conflict with our policy at Keaton Beach because, only citizens that claim homestead exemption or can prove that Taylor County is their primary residence are allowed to purchase the annual permit," Humphries said. The county manager recommended that "anyone" can purchase an annual permit and utilize any boat ramp facility where the county charges for launching. Most members of the commission agreed with Humphries. At Monday's meeting, no one its its change again! .from the audience commented on the change and the board passed it unanimously.

The Critical Inquiries Department also determined that Ward forwarded claims to BCBSFL for services he rendered to a family member, in violation of his BCBSFL contract, which prohibits filing medical claims rendered to relatives. . The claims contained the forged signatures of three Perry physicians, -kaccording to Osborne . :Investigators arrived in Perry on Feb. 18, 2003, and interviewed two of ithe physicians, who verified that the signatures appearing on the forms -were not theirs, said Osborne. On Feb. 25, 2003, investigators interviewed Ward at his place of -business, Healing Touch Massage Therapy, "where he admitted to transferring the prescription information onto his "Physician's Prescription/Referral/Medical Necessity' form, so he could receive Payment from BCBSFL and providing massage services beyond what was on-the original prescriptions.

On June 28, 2004, Ward was interviewed at the Tallahassee Field office and provided a sworn recorded affidavit, and was also read the Oath and Perjury Warning and his Miranda Rights. "Ward said, 'I didn't mean to forge on nobody. I'd write in the name, it was forgery now that I've been through all this. But, I didn't intend it to be that way. "When asked about the restitution to BCBSFL, he said that he knew that he was aware he was overcharging BCBSFL," she added. "When he was asked that when he was 'over-extending the massage services and over-charging BCBSFL, if this was considered as theft, Ward replied, 'yes.' "He was then asked if he knowingly did that, he replied, 'Well, it appears that I have, yes.' He said that he was 'not intending to defraud anybody.' Ward advised that the reason he did this was''this seemed to be the way that they would be able to get the information, without having to question me and get it back...get things back in a timely manner.'" On June 24, 2004, Osborne provided the Division of Insurance Fraud with a printout of Ward's provider number and a medical claim payout history from the period of Feb. 15, 2002 through March 16, 2003, which showed the payments made to Ward, which totaled approximately $1,000. "Based on this investigation, Darrin Guy Ward committed insurance fraud, when he submitted fraudulent claims to BCBSFL. By doing so, BCBSFL paid Ward money which he was not entitled to," Osborne said. "Ward also committed grand theft and forgery...when he forged the signatures on 37 different forms and submitted the forfns to BCBSFL for medical reimbursements." Ward was arrested Friday and charged with grand theft III, insurance fraud, insurance fraud by false claim and cheating. ;ts $319,724 for storm damage assistance for each applicant and we've had less than 30 percent of the applications returned. "That tells me that about 70 percent of the victims that registered are excluding themselves from additional forms of assistance," he added. Homstad said that during the past few months, 219 applications from Taylor County have been filed, with 105 of them being eligible for relief. "Disaster victims are reminded that to be considered for federal disaster assistance, including SBA's disaster loans, they must first call FEMA at 1-800-621- FEMA (3362). This one call will get people referred to the agency that can best help with their disaster-related needs," he said. "Even if you had some insurance," he added, "it is important that you register for this assistance."

The crystal clear water sparkles in the sunlight, yet looming beneath the surface of the spring are depths of magnitude and mystery. The 70- year-old lodge sits overlooking the water, almost as if it were watching and waiting for something to happen. . It's a perfect setting for a mystery novel and when I first read Glynn Marsh Alam's "Dive Deep and Deadly," I was delighted to find it was set in and around Wakulla Springs. The main character, Luanne Fogarty, is rebuilding her family home deep in the swamps when her occasional job scuba diving for the police gets her involved in a mystery. She finds a body hidden in an underwater cave, but the next morning; it's gone. VALENTINE'S WEEK Feb. 7-14 Exploring a second cave, she finds a second body. Is there a connection? And who is the unidentified first woman and where is her body? The local denizens of the swamp make for interesting characters and, the plot has twists and turns that will please any mystery reader. Ms. Alam's vivid descriptions allow the reader to literally feel the swamp: the humidity, the slithering snakes and the sudden silence of crickets come alive page after page. As I read the book, I actually found myself getting a case of the creepy-crawlies, looking around to make sure some swamp critter wasn't peering over my shoulder. "Dive Deep and Deadly" will appeal not only to mystery lovers, but also those interested in diving Florida's freshwater springs. The background and layout of the spring system is well researched and integrated into the story in a way that compliments without overshadowing. Ms. Alam also gives Luanne a sly wit that will give the reader a chuckle from time to time to lighten things up. Rx for LOVE "Pretty Flowers" xoxo Balloons Candy Plush Animals Plants 402 N.

BIG DEALS -a Sports 'Dogs hit road for state playoff game The Taylor County High boys soccer team will travel across the Panhandle Thursday for their first- round match in the state playoffs against Pensacola Catholic. The Bulldogs are on the road due to a 1-0 loss last Thursday in the district finals against Wakulla. In that game Taylor County appeared to take an early lead but an apparent goal was called back, and that seemed to tell the. story for the bulldogs the remainder of the game. Wakulla took a 1-0 lead into the half but the Bulldogs came out firing in the second half with 15 shots on goal. But none of the shots found the goal with at least one hitting the cross bar. Prior to Thursday's district final the Bulldogs upset Suwannee in the first round to get to the title game.

Editorial B-2 The Taco Times February 9, 2005 Dear Editor: The present Social Security program is not broke and does not need fixing. In his State of the Union address, President Bush prescribed diverting Social Security payroll taxes into personal savings accounts. Under Bush's Social Security plan, workers would be allowedd to divert up to two-thirds of their payroll taxes into private investment accounts, according to A Social Security expert who was briefed on the plan. Contributions would be capped at $1,000 per year, rising each year by $100. Social Security's guaranteed benefits would be reduced to make ip for money diverted to the private accounts. : AARP chief Bill Novelli said, ;'It is very hard for us to think of any way one could divert money out of Social Security into private accounts. It introduces risk. It is hugely expensive, and it is unnecessary." A new AARP poll found that 60 percent of people nnder age 50 believe private accounts would hurt, not help Social Security. SThe 12.4 percent payroll tax that funds Social Security is split evenly between employees and 51 a) rwo k go % 4 C U f 0 employers on income up to $90,000 this year. The money is used to pay current retirees benefits; surpluses go into the Social Security Trust Fund. The excess is spent by the government on other programs, but the trust fund receives special Treasury notes that promise repayment with interest. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid called Bush's plan dangerous and said there were other ways to deal with Social Security's projected financial problems. "It's wrong to replace the guaranteed benefit that Americans have earned with a guaranteed benefit cut of 40 percent or more," Reid said in the Democratic response to Bush's address. For several years, I was in a local investment club that used the principles of the National Association of Investment Clubs. In the beginning, the club had difficulty, in making investments since we did not have much money accumulated to invest. We bought a few shares of our favorite stocks. Brokerage fees kept us from trading often. The newly proposed changes in the Social Security system would cause the people who need Social Security a Wecod Tineseday Wednesday, February 9, 2005 123 S. Jefferson Street Perry, Florida P.O.

It does not seem practical to have millions of small accounts with a small amount of money invested in each account. In my humble opinion, the present Social Security plan should not be, changed. John Dickert Veteran laments delays on park. Dear Editor: From $125,000 to $750,000, but you're still not sure what the cost will be (for a new Veterans Memorial Park)? There must be a federal contract in there somewhere or is this project tied to our new hospital? I'd suggest just return the $400,000 city and count donations, throw in another $100,000 of that already donated so maybe the hospital could .be back operating in the black? If that's not feasible, hold on to the money until the hospital is reorganized and starts clearing a profit, then have the new hospital management team handle' the veterans park project so maybe it'll be constructed. Sorry, that was a joke! If you gave the $400,000 back and sold the current project's land and constructed a smaller but more realistic memorial at the current City Veterans Memorial Park on Veterans Memorial Drive, maybe it could be completed before the rest of us die. William P. Palmer, USAF Writer tells 'other side of the story' Dear Editor: With all the negative publicity Doctors' Memorial Hospital gets, I would like to tell the other side of the story. While visiting Perry from Tampa, my 79-year-old father who has Alzheimer's became very ill. We called 911 and several paramedics came to assist him. For those of you who don't know. about Alzheimer's, helping someone with this condition is not always easy.

Airports provide access to and benefit local businesses and industry as well as agricultural, governmental and medical evacuation flights. The present 24-hour lighting and instrument approach capabilities provide an excellent emergency deviation airport, not to mention the enhancement of local entrepreneurial and recreational interests. As a professional pilot, with over 13,000 hours, I have flown to destinations all over the world. I have landed at the Perry Airport on several occasions to visit relatives. There is no question in my mind that your airport is a diamond of your community. The commitment and funding planned may just-be the polish (of the gem) your Perry-Foley Airport needs.

My compliments to the board members and congratulations to your citizens. Airports are gateways to growing communities, though their contribution to the well-being of the citizens and financial enrichment to the community is many times undervalued.

Dear Editor: It is now time to get the facts straight. The city has not stepped up to the plate and taken care of business. If they want to keep recreation then take care of it. You can't just run the programs; you have 'to maintain the facilities. If you need help from the county, then ask. You didn't mind asking them to help fund the Veterans Park or Heritage Park. The county has always been for the good of the community and if that includes the children then great. Don't assume the sports complex is all we need. You gave away our practice fields assuming the complex was coming, but yet you don't even agree with the location. Go figure. Ms. Feagle, you stated in several of the joint meetings that the baseball fields needed refurbishing. I believe your quote was, we cannot do too much to improve their conditions." You * also stated that you would put it on. hi agenda. When asked about it, you only became defensive. As Mayor, I would expect or at least think you were true to your word. So I guess I can have it put on the agenda myself and force the discussion It i hat I hear from everyone is true that money is still the issue .then maybe building more parks is not the answer. Why continue to Build if you cannot maintain. I must ask why not take the funds set aside for other parks and assist the upgrades needed for the ball fields. I have studied the maps over and over and cannot :understand why we are about to -have five parks within one mile of each other. Also, Richard Feagle, the county has not left baseball out of the short term plan, but is only trying tq provide soccer fields .which have never been addressed by the city.. Perry Soccer Association (PSA) is not concerned with location, only that they get built. PSA only exists because of the generosity of the Elks Lodge allowing us to use the grounds, but due to sheer numbers of teams, we have outgrown the area. And, yes, wve are "soccer moms." It is the only way our children get to play soccer in Perry. We are proud of the county for staying focused and not abandoning the project due to lack of funding resources at the time. The city, though, has not maintained the baseball fields which they want to blame on funding issues. The city, or Ms. Feagle, want to continue building, yet make no mention of repairs to existing facilities. As one gentleman mentioned in the Jan. 27 meeting--when you build your own home, don't you have to continue to keep it up? Then I must ask when the city continues to build, do they ever develop a .plan of maintenance/capital improvements? Kay Parker Soccer mom, concerned parent B-3 The Taco Times February 9, 2005 'Angels' get appreciation STORY Continued from page B-2 neighbors, Danny and Michelle McLeod, were wonderful with him. In the emergency room all of the .attending nurses and physicians were not only thorough, but extremely kind and gentle, with my father and our family. Because of the nature of his illness he had to be admitted to the hospital. Dr. Toufic Abdo and Dr. Miles Nelson were his physicians' Thank God for doctors so loving and kind who will come to small towns to help the people receive good quality medical care. To all the staff and nurses ort the second floor at DMH, I just want to say in our family's eyes you are all angels. Thank you all for more than just taking care of our father. Sincerely, Vicki Hatton and Sylvia Wilson 3 for s29915 SGet my 8 Ib. 4Uright, Compact Canister, and Car Vac all foronly $299'! fi 'Allow us an opportunity... Dear Editor: I just got my fill of the negative faction that is in favor of selling or "annexing" th'e Doctors' Memorial Hospital (DMH) to an outside influence. Would Sheriff Bummy- Williams want Tallahassee coming down to tell him how to run his department? I don't believe so. Would the citizens of Taylor County allow an outside agency to come in and dictate how our annual forest festival was conducted? No! Would our city council appreciate any advice from Scott Maddox or Rudy Malloy? Probably not.. Would our county commission accept direction from Gainesville 6n where-,to put a boat ramp or how to get a sports complex finished? Of, course not. So why are some people in such. a hurry to allow outSiders to come into Taylor' SCounty and take .control of something as vitally important .as our main provider of health care, DMH? i *;-DMH,,:like. eanty cnturl,.-.. Shas experienced its ups and downs o\er the past 30 years (most' have. riot survived 30 -years). But. we are still providing superior care to our ,loyal ,citizens. We have a facility\ and staff to be proud of, and all we, ask is that the citizens of Taylor Count\ step back, relax and allow us the opportunity to maintain our high level of care. :'DMH has already made great strides in the right direction and ..with the support and patience (or patients') of Taylor County, we will endeavor to obtain financial stability. Just give the dedicated staff of DMH -he opportunity. Sincerely, One loyal dedicated DMH S employee, James Wallace, R.N. New in town?
