Kendrick


takes on


net ban

Rep. Will Kendrick has
introduced a bill which would
allow bigger mesh in mullet nets--
a move which could impact locl-:
fishermen affected by the net ban.
, put in place 11 years ago.
Kendrick and Senator Al
Lawson have introduced identical
bills stating that a net made of
"braided or twisted nylon, cotton,.
linen tmine'or polypropy) ne twin;.
regardless of its mesh size, not.
exceeding 500 square feet shall not
be considered a gill or entangling
net and may be used to harvest
mullet in the waters of this state.":
Both bills are pending passage
in House and Senate natural
resources committees. :
In making his 'case for the bill;
Kendrick said that up to 90 percent
of the mullet snagged by the "onen-
inch bar" mesh nets allowed by
law are smaller than the 11-inch
minimum for keeping and many of
the "immature" fish have not
reproduced.
Allowing the same net with two-
inch holes, which stretch to four
inches in the water, would mean 95
percent of the fish caught are legal,
he said in a report Tuesday.
"The constitution doesn't say
anything about mesh size. Our
bills are not about the 500 square-
feet, but about mesh size," he said.&"

A 16-year-old Taylor County
High School student was hurt last
Thursday when he slipped in the
second-floor boys bathroom,
hitting his head.
TCHS Principal Michael
Thompson said custodians had
"just checked the bathrooms,"
where they said the floors were
not wet, prior to the student using
it.
Thompson said the teen lay on
the floor for a short period of time
after the fall, "because he was
scared. He knew he had hit his
head and he felt pain in his neck.
He lay there until another student
found him and alerted a teacher."
Doctors' Memorial Hospital's
Emergency Medical Services was
called to the scene, where EMT
Cecil Hall and Paramedic John
Blauser worked on the youth,
stabilizing his head and neck from
movement, and transporting him
to DMH.
"It was a bad scene while it was
happening," said Thompson. "The
student was scared and his fear
had me scared. I was holding his
head still until medical help
arrived, trying to calm him."

The Tobacco Transition Payment

Program (aso called "Tobacco Buyout").


Cindy Geick, physical therapist
Looking at the news lately, one can't help
but notice all of the concerns about the
reported dangers associated with several
anti-mnlammalory drugs commonly used to
Ireat arthritis pain Some studies have
Shown a possible-increased risk of heart
attack and stroke with prolonged use of
these nedicalions So, what can arthritis
sufferers do to deal wilh pain besides the
uncertainty of anti-inflammalory medicine?
The answer is'
A THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE PROGRAM
designed by a physical therapist who
understands the special needs of the
arthritis sufferer.
The National Institute of Arthritis
Musculoskelelal and Skin Diseases reports
hjal "exercise reduces join pair and
siifness and increases flexibility. muscle
.strength, cardiac ilness, and endurance."
Exercise is just one part of an arthritis
regimen. A comprehensive arthritis
Irealment plan may include proper diet and
exercise, as well as education for proper
protection of Ihe arthritic points. However.
arthritis sufferers need to make sure to
also give Ihe'body recovery time.
Exercising every other day can provide the
desired benefits, but also allow for
necessary recovery. Patients are always
telling me thal they move better with daily
activities and just genuinely feel less pain
-after being involved with a regular,
therapeutic, customized exercise program.
The best advice is to incorporate exercise
into something you enjoy, as it may take a
month before you notice the benefits of a
moderate exercise program. .
Need help in deciding what exercise is
appropriate for you? There are plenty of
exercises I can teach you to do in your own
home to get you moving and help you feel
some relief. A physical therapist can also
offer instruction in protecting your joints
and conserving energy. Do you have a pool
available? The Arthritis Foundation
promotes pool exercises. Water helps to
reduce the body weight felt on joints and
can also be a fun workout too
if you have any questions about treating
your arthritis with physical therapy
directed exercise, call me (Cindy Geick,
PT) at TOSPT in Perry, 850-223-3997.

Perimeter fencing is currently


under construction at complex


U.S. Chamber President and CEO Thomas Donohue, left, press
with the "Spirit of Enterprise" award.


Businesses salu'


Congressman Alien Boyd
:received the "Spirit of Enterprise"
award March 11 from the United
!States Chamber of Commerce for
his strong support for a pro-
-economic growth legislative
-agenda in the second session of the
108th Congress.
"It is such an honor to receive
this award from the U.S. Chamber
,of Commerce," said Congressman
Boyd. "The federal government
can play a meaningful role in
providing economic opportunity
for our businesses, and I am proud
to work with the: Chamber of
Commerce to promote more
economic growth. Our
communities are stronger because
of the work and dedication of the
,local chambers and their
membership, and I will continue
to support our chambers and the
issues that are important for the
economic development of North


Florida."
The chamber awards the "Spirit
of Enterprise" based on rankings it
gives members of Congress for
key business votes. Among the
key votes counted by the Chamber
in 2004 were votes on medical
liability reform, the U.S.-
Australia free trade agreement,
pension reform and tax relief.
"As America's economy
strengthens, we are clearly seeing
the benefits of supporting pro-
growth policies in Congress," said
Chamber President and CEO
Thomas Donohue. "On key


te Boyd
issues like cutting taxes, trade and
health care reform, this award
recognizes the lawmakers who are
paving the way for our continued
economic expansion."
Chamber-designated "key votes"
are recorded floor votes on issues
established as priorities by the;
Chamber's board of directors and
on which the Chamber
communicates its position prior to
the vote. Members of Congress
who support the Chamber's
position on at least 70 percent of
key votes receive the "Spirit of
Enterprise" award. '


Good Friday closing announced

The Taylor County Senior Services Center will be closed Friday,'March
25, in observance of Good Friday.
The center will reopen for business Monday, March 28, at 8 a.m.

Assistant Principal Sandy
Hendry, and we will choose the
applicant we will take to
Superintendent of Schools Oscar
Howard Jr., for his
recommendation to the school
board. From there, it will be in
the board's hands."
Thompson said he wanted the
Taylor County Bulldogs to be
commonly referred to as "the
mighty Bulldogs of Taylor County
High School, as they once were.
Other teams used to feel fear when
it came time to play TCHS, and
that's what we are working
towards."
Howard agreed '
"This is something that we can
definitely do," he said, when
contacted Tuesday morning. "We
are looking for someone who can
keep us in the hunt for the state
championship year every year.
Someone who can continue to lead
us with wins, so we can climb the
ladder of champions.
"It's where we belong and it's
where we're going to be again,"
Howard added.'
Thompson said the vacancy
would be filled before or by spring
practice.
Kizziah resigned after holding
the position for four seasons in
which his teams combined for a
16-24 record.
He accepted the position of dean
at TCHS, he said.


construction and he hopes to
utilize inmate labor to help
construct a storage building,
concession stand and picnic areas.
"I believe once this phase is
completed the community will see
how nice a facility it is going to
be and they will want to complete
it as soon as possible," he said.
The commission voted last
month to use any excess funds left
over from Phase I construction to
improve existing fields operated
by.the City of Perry.
Those improvements will be
made under the direction of what is
to be a newly created seven
member recreation committee
comprised of government officials


and citizen representatives.
That committee hinges on the
Perry City council approving a
long-term interlocal agreement
with the county.
Humphries presented drafts of
both the proposed interlocal
agreement and an outline for
establishing a recreation advisory
committee to the council in
February. The documents were
drafted by him and City Manager
Bill Brynes.
At last week's city council
meeting, council members directed
Brynes and City Attorney Bill
Blue to review the agreement
before making recommendations
to the council.

Virtual explorers can now take
an underwater journey into one of
the deepest cave systems in the
world through their home,
computer. The Florida Department
of 'Environmental Protection
(DEP) has unveiled its expanded
website, Wakulla Springs: A Giant
Among Us, which profiles the
state's largest artesian freshwater
spring.
This website expansion allows

gallons per minute. The Wakulla
Springs cave system was first
explored by divers in the 1950s,
who entered the caves in search of
mastodon remains. Since then,
researchers have explored more
than 12 miles of the Wakulla
Springs cave system.
The Florida Springs Initiative,
established by Governor Jeb Bush

in 2001, is the first
comprehensive, coordinated plan
to restore and protect Florida's
more than 700 freshwater springs.
This year, the Florida Springs
Initiative set aside more than
$350,000 to protect spring
ecosystems, water quality and
flow within Florida's award-
winning state park system,
including Wakulla Springs State
Park.

The state is also acquiring land
surrounding springs through
'Florida Forever--the 10-year,.$3
billion land conservation program
established by Governor Bush and
the Florida Legislature. Florida
has conserved more-than 27,000
acres of spring recharge area,
including 3,000 acres around
Wakulla Springs. Wakulla
Springs State Park attracts close
to 195,000 visitors each year,
pouring close to $7.5 million into
the local economy.
Along with the new Wakulla
Virtual Cave Dive, the Florida
Springs Initiative website hosts
information and activities
involving a variety of other
freshwater springs throughout the
state. Since its release in
November 2004, the enhanced
Florida Springs Initiative website
has welcomed more than 18,000
visitors. More than 1,500 teacher
lesson plans have been
downloaded from the site as well,
giving teachers valuable activities
and resources about Florida's
springs to use in their classrooms.

The Taylor County academic
team competed this past
Saturday at the University of
Florida in the National
Academic Quiz Tournaments
state championship. The team
finished with a record of 6-7.
The field consisted of 14
teams from around Florida
which competed in a 13-round
round-robin. Ransom Everglades
placed first, going undefeated for
the day.
The players who traveled
were- Gerard Massey, who
finished the day with 16.54
points per game; Tim Machula,
28.85 points per game; Rachel


Heartsfield, 6.92 points per
game; and Jordan Robertson,
16.92 points per game.
"They played well," said
Coach Mark Viola. "All of our :
losses were to teams that
finished higher than us, and
some of those we had a shot at
winning..-
"We still .need work, but
considering we don't have any
seniors on our first team, we can
only go up from here."
The team is now preparing for
their last tournament of the
school year, the Commissioners
Academic Challenge, held April
21-23 at Disney World.


Patriotism featured


as Masons reach 100th


Perry Masonic Lodge 123
celebrated its 100th anniversary
with an evening featuring
patriotism, according to member
John Brady.
The dinner event was attended
by approximately 50 members,
spouses and guests. A program
was presented by members Don
Love, Hershel McClellan and
Randy Trammel, who shared
interesting and amusing facts
about the founding and existence
of Lodge 123, said Brady.


The program also featured local
resident, Isadore Rommes, who
reported on recent actual events in
Iraq. His tour of duty included
activities which were reported
nationally, said Brady, and "it was
enlightening to hear directly of his
experiences."

The meeting ended with
declarations that all present were
"proud of our country and proud
to be Americans. God bless
America," he added.


Workshops address 'inevitable changes'


What is the future of forests?


Florida Agriculture and
Consumer Services Commissioner
Charles H. Bronson announced
today that his department is
launching a major planning
project to help shape the future of
forests in Florida.
"How are our forests going to
continue to provide the wood,
clean water, recreation and
diversity of wildlife 25 years from
now?" Bronson is asking. "And
what do we want them to look
like 25 years from now?"
As a result of development,
hurricanes, wildfires, insect and
disease outbreaks and the demand,
for forestry products, Florida's
forests today comprise only 14
million acres down from more
than 20 million acres in the
1930's. Officials estimate that the
figure will decline to 12 million
acres by the year 2030.
The planning effort that is
getting underway will focus on
how the state manages what are
inevitable changes rather than
merely reacting to those changes.
Division of Forestry (DOF)
officials have already taken the
first "step, assessing the present
conditions of forests in Florida,
and the public can review that
assessment by visiting DOF's
website at www.fl-dof.com.
The public 'is encouraged to
participate by attending one of a
series of six workshops that will
be held around the state later this
month to solicit opinions on the
future of forests in Florida. The
dates, cities and locations are as
follows:
March 22nd Milton -
Pensacola Junior College,
University of Florida Bldg, Room
4902.
March 23rd Tallahassee -
Eyster Auditorium, Conner Bldg.,
3125 Conner Blvd.
March 24 Lake City -
Columbia County Extension
Service, 164 SW Mary Ethel
Lane.
March 29th Tavares Lake
County Ag/Horticulture Ext.
Service, 30205 State Road 19.
March 30 Palmetto- Manatee
County Ag Center/Fairgrounds,
Kendrick Auditorium, 1303 17th
St. West.
March 31 Lantana Lantana.
Recreation Center, 418 South
Dixie Highway.
The regional workshops will be


'held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and
will be lead by a professional
facilitator.
A draft plan on the future of


forests in Florida is expected to be
posted on the DOF website next
fall, and the public will be asked
to comment on it.

American History Grant awarded to the Panhandle Area
Educational Consortium (PAEC). Teachers had to complete aR
.project and meet various other criteria in order to

complaining about the possibility
that our patriotism was offending
others. I am not against
immigration, nor do I hold a
grudge against anyone who is
seeking a better life by coming to
America. Our population is
almost entirely made up of
descendants of immigrants.
However, there are a few things
that those who have recently come
to this country, and apparently
some born here, need to
understand. This idea of America
being a multicultural community
has served only to dilute our
sovereignty and our national
identity. As Americans, we have
our own culture, our own society,
our own language, our own
lifestyle, and our own way of
lifting up God, the Father of
Christ Jesus. This culture has
been developed over centuries of
struggles, trials, and victories by.
millions of men and women who
have sought freedom.
We 'speak English! Not
Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic,
Chinese, Japanese,, Russian, or'
any other language. "In God we
trust" is our national motto. This
is not some Christian right wing
political slogan. We adopted this
motto because Christian men and


women, on Christian principles,
founded this nation, and this is
clearly documented. It is certainly
appropriate to display it on the
walls of our schools! If God
offends you, then I suggest you
consider another part of the world
as your new home, because God is
part of our culture.
If stars and stripes offend you,
or you don't like Uncle Sam, then
you should seriously consider
moving to another part of this
planet. We are happy with our
culture and have no desire to
change, and we really don't care
how you did things where you
came from. This is our country,
our land, and our lifestyle. Our
First Amendment gives every
citizen the right to express his
opinion, and we will allow you
every opportunity to do so. But,
once you are done complaining,
whining, and griping about our
flag, our pledge, our national
motto, or our way of life, I highly
encourage you to take advantage of
one other great American
freedom, the right to leave! Now,
as Forrest Gump .would say,
"that's all I have to say about
that"! (Right now anyway).
Sincerely, I am
Ted Colson
God bless America

Midweek Muddle


Even an orange boiled

egg tastes white


Every year, about this time, I have an
uncontrollable urge to boil eggs.
It happens when azaleas and
dogwoods bloom, girls wear frilly
dresses and bonnets, and boys do
whatever boys do for the other 11
months of the year, minus a shirt.
I knew the urge was coming last week
when I observed the lunch of a
neighbor's gardener. He had a large,'
cold drink; a larger, plastic cup of ice;
and two boiled eggs, to accompany his
sandwich and fruit.
I almost asked him for one of those
eggs.
For eggs, in my Mother's book, were a
staple. She survived the Depression
and grew up eating eggs for breakfast
every morning, before they learned the
word cho-les-ter-ol. Recently, a doctor
told her she needs to quit eating those
eggs because she ate, enough to last
her a lifetime...before she was 30.
But when she's feeling really gamey
and no one's looking, she boils one. If
it's Saturday night and she has nowhere
to go, shemay fry one. Who will know?
Boiled eggs were once staples in my
lunchbox, either before lock-top bags
were invented or before my mother
agreed.'to invest in them (and rinse
,them. put). Instead, she'd wrap that
boiled egg in wax paper, and put a
rubber band around it to keep the wrap
secure. After I threw my lunch box
Around in the car, and in the hallway,
and in my locker, the egg looked like it
was in bad need of a plastic surgeon.
But with a little salt and pepper, it was
Easter all over again.
Since boiled eggs rarely appear on our
landscape, my children probably won't
need to worry about cholesterol. But if
nutritionists discover that cereal is
detrimental to your health, we're all in
trouble.

Editor's Note: This column first appeared in The
again--like the Cadbury bunny-- to celebrate Spring.


By SUSAN H. LINCOLN

Even though they aren't a favorite, we
started the ritual boiling of eggs this
year, our personal way of ushering in
spring: twelve for Tuesday, all pink and
blue, and orange, and- marbleized
purple. "This is fun," said the littlest
one. "Can I have one with my lunch?"
"Why sure," I said, "But I'm not sure
you really like boiled eggs. You didn't
care for them the last time I fixed one
for you.
"But it was white," he said.
"Well, the orange one is going to taste
the same," I assured him. '
"PNo, the other one was white," he
maintained.
"But when we take the shell off this
one, it will be white too," I explained.
"It'll be fine," he said, patting me on
the hand.
I peeled the shell and handed the
smooth and slippery egg to him. "I'm
really glad you like boiled eggs," I said
as he took his first bite.
His first bite returned.
"It tastes like the white one," he said
with such disappointment.
I retrieved the remains and looked
fondly upon the three-quarters of: a
boiled egg which was left.
"It's been a long time since I had! a
boiled egg," I told myself, so I sat down
and partook. Then I looked longingly at
the other 12 sitting so pretty in Easter
grass.
I think I could have eaten half of
them, but I cautioned myself mightily
against over indulgence and reached
for an apple instead.
Who knows, I'll probably die of an
insecticidal spray which annually taints
the apple crop, when I could have just
eaten another egg and taken my
chances.
After all, it's Easter and time to
celebrate.

Letters to the Editor



-Writer laments planning board decision on land use


Dear Editor:
It is a cold December morning.
One of those days when nature
seems to somewhat yield, an
advantage to humans. An invite if
you will for hunters to prove their'
skill upon the great outdoors. The
man has been told of a trophy
buck around the area, but he has
yet to see it for himself.' After
cloaking himself in camouflage he
parks his truck on the main grade.
By way of twilight, the hunter
then proceeds more than a mile
'into the swamp until he finds the
perfect spot. He harnesses up to
his tree climber and attempts to
mnake his way upward. There is a
slight breeze from the west, so he
decides to ascend higher than
usual, just to be safe. For three
hours the man sits without even
seeing a squirrel.
Then, just as he is about to give
up and start his descent he looks
to his left and there he is. Standing
in the clearing is the most
beautiful 10-point he has ever
Seen. His muscular body glistens
in the morning sun, and steam
leaves his nostrils like a dragon.
The hunter freezes with
amazement. In the seconds that
follow he thinks to himself, if I
can take this monster to the house,
it will not matter if I ever see
another deer. By pure reaction, he
eases his rifle upward in a slow
but steady fashion, until the
objective is visible through his
scope. Never hearing or feeling


How do you

the shot the man realizes he has
fired and the deer is lying down.
The hunter becomes ecstatic and a
blanket of warm joy wraps around
him. So anxious is the man to get
to his trophy, that he has a lapse in
judgment and leaps out of his tree
stand fastened 30 feet in the air!
The hunter is shaken up but is
numbed by excitement and still
hurries over to his prize.
Then, just as he approaches the
still lying creature, the deer leaps
up and begins to charge the man
with his deadly rack. In an instant
the hunter reaches at his shoulder
for his rifle, but realizes at the
same moment that his gun is still

Tell commissioners 'land use agreement is important'


-DECISION
Continued from page B-3
Timber and Land claims to have
no intention of selling, there is
still more than 30,000 acres of
state land in our county that
Governor Bush has authorized
Eglin Airforce Base to have. This
would be more than enough land
for the government to place their
test range. In this scenario tney
could do so without even filing a
letter of intent to the citizens of
the surrounding areas. This would


mean saying good-bye to Hickory
Mound, and saying hello to check
points.
The determination of Taylor
County, along with the fortitude of
the county commissioners, will
be in vain without the
implementation of the land usage
agreement. Who knows when the
next "mover and shaker" will ride
into town with the same agenda in
mind. The land usage agreement
only pertains to missile/bombing
ranges. It will have no effect on.
local businesses. As for property


values being negatively affected
by an ordinance to keep bombs
out, one arrives at a loss. This is
the same as : aying there is an
unattainable demand for
properties surrounding landfills. It
just does not occur.
Taylor County, you have faced
adversity and shown true grit. Do.


not allow what you have worked
together so hard for go without a
conclusion. Talk to your county
commissioners and let them know
that you are depending on them to
finish this once and for all. Tell
them that the land usage
agreement is important, and that
you are certain they will sign it for


the betterment of the community
and children. There is no reason to
be standing in disbelief five years


from now saying, "I was so close,
but yet so far away."
