Sports complex, other issues on tap



Special recreation mee


The Taylor County Commission
has called a special meeting for
Feb 15 to discuss phase 1 of the
sports complex construction as
well as other recreation issues. The
meeting is slated for 6 p.m.
At Monday's regular meeting.
Commissioner Jack Brown
suggested the special meeting was
necessarN and other members of
the board agreed.
"We ha e met with the city
several times to no a ail so we
need to move forward,"
Commission Chairman Daryll
Gunter said.
Gunter and Bro\wn recently met
with City Councilwoman Emily
Ketrlng and Mayor Pam Feagle to,
discuss recreation. Instead of
reaching many solutions. that
meeting became argumentative and
all agreed to relinquish those
responsibilities to County Manager

Iraq probe

Local Army Reservist Col.
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.
Rommes told the Daily News
the reported behavior of his troops
in the incident was "not
acceptable" and "could result in

Boat rar
The Taylor County Commission
Monday amended its boat ramp
ordinance to allow everyone--not
just county residents--to purchase a
$20 annual permit to utilize all
county-operated ramps including
those at Keaton Beach and on the
Aucilla River near Mandalay.
Those without an annual permit
must still pay a $5 fee.
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.
That boat ramp is owned by St.

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.
"During the past five years, I
have ,admired the way Amy
provides a high quality school
readiness program for her children,
maintains a close relationship with
her parents and assists other early

an agreement reached several years
ago when St..Marks. threatened to
close the facility.
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.

:She also alleged that Ward extended the massage therapy services to
some-clients beyond the original prescriptions and rendered services to his
family in violation of BCBSFL contract, which prohibits filing medical
claims rendered to relatives in order to receive additional claims money
from BCBSFL.
-Osborne also said when she reviewed the referral forms used, she
discovered that the signatures (of the physicians) did not match. 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. He also admitted rendering services to (a
family member)," said Osborne.

Agency (FEMA) and U. S. Small

reveal that Taylor Countians have
received over $319,724 in disaster

hurricanes which pounded Florida
last summer.
-Assistance for individuals and
housing programs account for
,the lion's share--$227,956; with

SAccording to External Affairs

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.

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."

Marking the entrance to the
downtown district, the "old
depot" long served as the "hub"
for a variety of "comings and


going" in its heyday.
The current building is the third'
permanent station erected at the
site. The original wooden
structure, completed in 1906, was
destroyed by fire in 1916; the
second wooden building was only
in use three months before it also
burned and was replaced in 1917


with the existing brick building.
"According to the Taylor--

'Dive Deep and Deadly'


By PULLY WALLtM
I've always thought Wakulla
Springs to have mysterious
qualities about it. 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.

'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.

May we say to the family, just
"look to the hills from whence
cometh your help. God will take
care of you." The viewing will

St. John Primitive Baptist
Church in Midway. Funeral

Cigarette smoking is one of the most commonly
recognized drug addictions of our time. Most are aware
of the destructive effects of this compulsive habit. But
quitting, especially cold turkey, is a very difficult
experience.
If you have made a New Year's resolution to stop
smoking, and you're having trouble sticking to your
resolution, perhaps acupuncture could help. It has
been used for many years to break addictions of all
kinds.

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

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

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.

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

excellent emergency deviation

enhancement of local

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

my mind that your airport is a

commitment and funding planned

very wise step.

Dear Editor:
I read with enthusiasm an article
in your Jan. 5 Taco Times
edition describing the decision to
allocate funds for a new terminal
and runway upgrades at the Perry-
Foley Airport. 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. When

90% of the project costs, the local

Shouldn't city have plans for maintenance?


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?

'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,.-..

(most' have. riot survived 30

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.
