At Thursday workshop

School board to tackleI

safety, security issues

Spurred, in part, by a parent
walking into Taylor County High
School last Wednesday and
allegedly assaulting a student, the
District School Board will hold a
workshop session Thursday at 12
,noon with the topic being, "Safety
and Security."
Superintendent,of Schools Oscar
Howard Jr. said administration has
been considering as well as
implementing new security
measures at Taylor County
schools.

"We want to ensure the safety of,
all children and personnel,"
Howard said Tuesday.
"The procedures implemented
will ensure a greater degree of
safety than we've had in the past.
We ask' for the parents' patience
while we work the bugs out of any
new safety procedures, and
hopefully, we will have completely
safe and secure schools," he added.
Howard said the district has
received a couple of grants, which
will be used for security measures,

communication equipment and-.
training personnel.
"The district will have a closer
working relationship with law
enforcement," he said.
"I apologize upfront for any
inconvenience that visitors to our
schools receive when they visit,"
he added, "but if we're going to eTr,
we're going to err on the side of our.
children's safety."
The workshop will be held at the
Alton Wentworth Administrative.
Complex on Clark Street.

Nutall Rise to Aucilla River
Estates, is flooded and has some
residents seeking higher ground.
"The Econfina, River is also way
out of its banks. We had some
reports that it was approaching the
road on Hwy. 98, where it crosses
under it. There is still a
continuation of flood warnings for
the Aucilla River," he said.
Woods added tharthe stalteof
emergency will continue for seven
days from when it was made,
although more rains here arid to our
north may extend it.

Department (TCHD)
Administrator Stephen Tullos said
Monday that ground water in
flooded areas may cause illnesses,
and that residents must not assume
that the water in the flood-affected
area is safe to drink.
Tullos recommends that
residents in these areas not use
contaminated water to wash
dishes, brush your-teeth, wash and
prepare food or make ice.
"If you use bottled water, know
where it came from," he said.
"Otherwise, water should be boiled
or treated before use. Drink only
bottled, boiled or treated water
until your supply is tested and
found safe."
Tullos added that any resident in
flooded areas may have their water

tested free of charge at TCHD.
"We may request that you bring
in your own water," he said, "so if
you have any questions about

testing, you may call us at 584-

The Taylor County High
baseball team came up on the
short end- of -an 11-8 decision
Friday at district foe Florida High.
The loss dropped the Bulldogs to
7-6-1 overall, 4-3 in district play.
Friday's exciting see-saw
matchup featured five home runs
and a six-run inning for the 'Dogs
but it was a difficult district loss
for TCHS.
Going into this week, Madison
was on top in the district race with

only one loss while Florida High
was 3-2, Suwannee 2-2, Taylor
County 4-3, Wakulla 2-3 and East
Gadsden 0-4.
TCHS was set to play Madison
at home Tuesday before traveling

For boating improvements

$2 million in grants

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is gearing up
to dole out $2 million under the Florida Boating Improvement Program
(FBIP). The FBIP provides funding through competitive grants to
support recreational boating and boating-related activities on Florida's
coastal and/or inland waters.
Eligible program participants include Florida's municipal and county
governments. The deadline for submitting grant applications is June 10.
In 2004, the FBIP awarded over $1.9 million in grants for 19 projects
statewide.

six big runs, highlighted by Alex.
Kramer's three-run homer.
Taylor County added another
run in the third but the Seminoles
battled back to' tie the game at 7 in
the fifth.
The Bulldogs added another run
in the sixth to take an 8-7 lead but
Florida High came back to score
four in the bottom of the inning
then held on for the win.
The Bulldogs banged out 13 hits
in the contest led by David Crews,
who celebrated his 18th birthday
going 3-3. Adding two hits apiece
were Joey Jarvis, Kramer and
Daniel Joiner while Clint Murphy,
Cody Walker, BJ Wigglesworth
and Miguel Parga chipped in with
one hit each.
Parga got the start on the
mound, pitching 4 1/3 innings
while allowing 7 runs on six hits.
He struck out six and walked 7.

Josiah Anderson took the loss in
relief, giving up four runs on only
one hit but he gave up three walks
while striking out two.
Kramer pitched the final two
outs of the game, giving up one hit
while striking out two and
walking two.
"This was an exciting game to
watch but a tough one to lose,"
Bulldog Coach Richard Carr said.
"We hit the ball well but we
walked too many batters."
Carr said Florida High's pitchers
did not walk a single batter.
"Their pitchers threw their
curve balls for strikes but we
could not. There is not much
difference between the top five,
teams in our district so if we can
learn from our mistakes, we still'
have a good shot in the district
tournament (May 1-5)," the coach
said.

Water control structure, and the
-placement of approximately 8,672
-,tons of rip-rap material to
reinforce the dike in areas that

These upgrades will also allow
biologists to have better control
over the flow of water into and out
of the impoundment, allowing
FWC staff to better manage for
waterfowl, and other wildlife
:species. This increased
ifrtanagement ability should allow
for higher quality recreational
opportunities in the future,"
Nicholson explained.
i While active construction is
Si; taking place, the FWC will need
Sto close some roads on the WMA
Beginning as early as mid-April.
The roads will be closed for
approximately six months. These
roads will include portions of
: Coker Road (south from the
: junction of Swartz Tram), Cow
:Creek Grade (south from the
Junction of Swartz Tram), and
Swartz Tram (between Coker Road
and Cow Creek Grade) Nicholson
: said.

"The actual date of the closure is
unknown," Nicholson said. "We
don't want to close access to the
area until the contractor is on-site,
which is dependent on weather and
contract legalities. Once we get a
firm.date, we will publicize that.
S"Locked gates will be installed
to prohibit unauthorized vehicles
from entering the area. These road
closures will prohibit an\!,
vehicularr access to the Hicikor)
Mound Impoundment. Anyone
wanting to access the western
portion of the Hickory Mound
Unit must do so by entering from
County Road 14. Anyone wanting

access to the eastern portion of the
Hickory Mound Unit must do so
by entering the area via Cow
Creek Grade," Nicholson
explained.
These road closures will be
necessary to ensure the security of
the contractors' equipment and for
.the general safety of the public.
The dike, which also serves as the
perimeter rroad around the.
impoundrihint, will be breached in
numerous points throughout the
project making it impassable by
foot or vehicles, creating a
potential safety hazard. It should
also be noted that during active

periods of construction, heavy
traffic flow of equipment may be
observed along Cow Creek Grade.
According to Nicholson, this
project is being funded by FWC,
Ducks Unlimited, Taylor County,
the National Fish and Wildlife
Foundation, and a grant received
through the North American
Wetlands Conservation Act
.(NAWCA).
"'We realize that this WMA is a
high use area for crabbers,
fisherman, hunters, and other
outdoor enthusiasts. As such; we
regret the inconvenience that our
.users will have to endure, but we.
hope that the improvements
observed in the future will
outweigh any short-term
inconveniences," Nicholson said.

Letters to the Editor

'Don't throw darts--instead, volunteer'

Dear Editor:
I want to take exception to.
comments about the Division of
Forestry. and their firefighting
policy. I have been a volunteer.
in this county since 1976, long
before the county was in the fire
business. DOF was the only real
support we had. We have had a
good working relationship with
all-levels in the division over the
years and I pray nothing happens
to: change that. I am not a
wildland firefighter but DOF has
offered several classes that I
have voluntarily taken to
enhance my training. I cannot
tell you the number of fires I
have been involved in where I
fought shoulder-to-shoulder with
state firefighters.
We should be working on the
real issue, not being a Monday
morning quarterback., When the
county' first went into the
firefighting business, we had 10
volunteer departments and one
paid station. These were staffed
'by three paid and approximately
140 volunteer firefighters. Now
we have one paid station with
.,nine paid firefighters, and one
chief with seven volunteer
stations and maybe: 20
volunteers. The people who
complain .about not having
enough volunteers should try
joining us and helping solve this
problem.
--We all. have busy lives and
full schedules but we must join
together and help each other
-instead of criticizing each other..
.1 know that not everyone can
commit to the responsibility of
protecting his or her neighbors. I
assure you we take the:
responsibility seriously. Don't
think for a moment that we, mind
getting out of a warm bed at 3
a.m. and going to stand in the
cold wet spray of a fire hose or
working in the rain to help get
an injured person out of their
wrecked car. We do it because
we enjoy helping others. We
don't do it for money. We do it
because it is a job that is
necessary and not everyone can
or will do it.

We need people to get out
there and do something to help
the issue. Don't throw darts
because there were no
volunteers, volunteer yourself.
You can't recruit volunteers, if
they were recruited they would
not be volunteers. The only thing
we ask is support for the few
volunteers we still have and
make it a choice others would
be willing to make. Foster an
atmosphere of mutual respect
and aid among all parties. Do
things to enhance the
relationship' of the paid

firefighter, the volunteer
firefighter and the forest
firefighter-not drive a wedge or
build a wall. We work well
together and have a great deal of
respect for one another. Why not
show support for our
relationship? Take time to dig
into the facts, not react to the
rumor.
Think about the people you
count on in an emergency. They
deserve the best you can offer,

'Believe nothing you read'

Dear Editor:
My regards to citizens and
friends who read--and hopefully do
not believe--everything you read in
our local newspaper, like saying
that i, E\a Ward, changed price
tickets on items, when in truth
one of Wal-Mart's employees
helped me scan the items through
the scanner.
I was not outside pf the store
and I offered to have the employee-
re-scan the items and pay any,
difference before security and
police were called.
SI told the police and Wal-Mart
security that I did not change pnce
tickets on eany items. They,
Wal-Mart, are responsible for
putting/keeping correct prices on
items, not me.
They said "you stole those
items," and placed me under arrest.
I was cleared of charges at 3

p.m. on March 5, 2005, and
adjudication was withheld. The
school board's attorney was
notified by my attorney that the
matter had been handled.
This all was handled'Ei5f'rt' the
school board meeting which was
held at 7 p.m. That is when it
started getting slanderous to mty *
reputation.
Now that Wal-Mart, the police
and the school board have had their
say, this is my side in this case.
I think back on something my
parents told me: "You are innocent
until proven guilty." It was not
true in this case.
So say, don't believe anything
you hear, half of what you see
and, by all means, nothing you
read in the local newspaper.
I an not guilty.

Letter opposes land swap

Dear Editor:
. would like to reply to Mr.
Bethea's land swap deal that he
would like for everyone to "get
comfortable with." It is obvious
that he did no investigation into
the deal he was offered. The two'
lots across from the community

feet deep after you take the 23 feet
of state road right-of-way from the.

Area. They are eight to 10 feet
above, he water level and it would
be impossible to build a boat
ramp or dock on this property.
The old bridge site belongs to the
State of Florida, not to the
county. All 'the county would be
receiving would be a worthless
piece of property..It would have
sold years ago had it been of any
value.
There is a section of Fourteenth
that is a 100-foot wide street that
runs 450 feet to the river's edge
from Highway 51. There is a canal.
at the end of the road on the right-
of-way that would be ideal for the
public to use to launch canoes,
kayaks and some rowboats. All.
the county would need to do would
be to clear the brush, and grade the
road for the public to have access
to the river.
This is what Mr. Bethea wants
to swap for the worthless piece of
property across from the
community center.
.. It seems to be another hair- .
brained idea of his--like the sale of
the hospital so it would not be a
liability to the county,at a later

date.

rise, sunset

By SUSAN H. UNCOLN

would eventually be required.
The first sunrise I recall, however, was%
not required. If was optional. I was with"al
group of friends at a then-nondescript;
beach in Florida, called Navarre. No one
had heard of it until the 70s when "Jaws"
was filmed off the coastline. -Until then, it
was nothing more than a handful of
houses--one of which belonged to a
friend's family; .Every summer, 10 of us
made a pilgrimage to that beach under
the watchful eyes of the parents-in-charge.
What fun we had. One of our really fun
friends suggested that on the final night of
our stay, we should sleep on the beach so
we could wake up to the sunrise.
Thought, "My father will be so pleased."
In retrospect, I'm thinking: those parents
let us sleep on the beach? But it was a
remote beach, you see; and nobody killed
anybody then without a good reason.
Shortly after midnight, we packed our
towels and blankets, and trekked over the
dunes to. prepare for the sunrise. I don't
remember falling asleep until someone
woke me up to say that the sun was
rising. I sat straight up and found myself
surrounded by the biggest sun I had ever.
seen. It stretched from one side of the
universe. to the other without any
hesitation.
I blinked and blinked, and watched the
sun take possession of the water and the
beach, splashing new colors on both. And
I remember, thinking to myself, "This is
pretty cool."
And then, with a suddenness which was
disarming', the morning show started to
blend inwith the clouds and the sky,' as
the sun cast an overall pink around us. We
ate doughnuts and drank milk.
And we felt wretched.

We had to' scale those sand dunes, drag
blankets, take sheets off beds at the
beach house, pack up groceries, clothes,
41 bottles of shampoo and suntan lotion,
and load into a station wagon for a three-
hour drive home. WVe sang; we talked; it
never occurred to us to sleep.
We were individually dropped off at our
homes;, with loud goodbyes and fabulous
memories. But I remember sitting down
and saying'to my father, "I think I may cry."
He looked alarmed and asked why. "I
saw the sunrise this morning," I said.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" he added.
"But I'm so exhausted. I saw 3 a.m.,
too."
He shook his head at me again, and he
did a lot of that, as I recall.
Then he and I agreed that I never had to
see a sunset again, if I didn't want to.
I felt much better, and immediately
entered the Land iof Sleep where I am--to
this day-- so very comfortable.

I forced myself to be quiet the other
morning. "Ten minutes," I told myself,
with the windows flung open.
And the birds sang to me. ,
These birds love Daylight Savings Time, I
think, or is it that I was previously asleep
when they were singing?
Anyway, they seem to start of the day
off happy, which makes them unique
among other living creatures.
In my 10 minutes, I heard a mourning
dove, I believe, making a four-count call
every 20 seconds. In between were the
cycles of the automatic dishwasher
downstairs, whirring wafer and detergent
over a load of well-used dishes.
It became an orchestra of sorts, with
woodwindish dove sounds, matched by
the "strings" of the. dishwasher and
punctuated by the barks of neighborhood
dogs.
I sat in awe, and thought perhaps that
my father would be proud of me.
My father believed that for a day to go
well, you should get up long before sun
does and be prepared for it. He was
bathed and shaved before dawn, with
morning newspaper and coffee in hand.
And he often sat outside, as the sun rose
behind our house, topping the tall pine
trees and backlighting the landscape.
There before him were birds, plenty of
birds. Song birds. Cardinals.
Mockingbirds. Blue birds. Blue jays.
Prissy wrens.
I think what my father liked most about
the morning was the quiet. Once the two
women at his house emerged from
bedrooms, quiet was scarce. He couldn't
have stood that kind of clamor much
earlier.
So he not only got up early to meet the
sun, but to brace himself for whatever
nonsense might be thrown at him at
breakfast.
And even though I suspect that he didn't
want company at the earliest hours of the
day, he often suggested that we should
make a point to occasionally see- the sun
rise.
"I've seen the sun rise," said Mother,
refusing his invitation.
"I haven't," I said.
They both looked at me and then each
other. Mother asked, ."You've .never seen
the sun rise?"
"No, but I've seen plenty of sunsets," I
gave as my defense.
Suddenly, they realized what a shallow
life I had lived.
"It's just the flipside of a sunset," I
suggested, and they shook their heads at
their teenage child. "I can't believe you've
lived this long and never seen a sunrise,"
my father said, definitely disappointed.
"I will," I said confidently, for I knew it

Dear Editor:
This is to commend Mrs. B. D.
Williams for all the wonderful
work she does'in our community.
We did noi get to the recognition
program for her, but we want her
to know how much we love her
and appreciate her beautiful smile,
and her helpful ways. We all love
to hear her recite those special
poems like the one she did for
New Brooklyn's Homecoming
about "Some Folk." No one can
do them quite like she can.
During the times when we were
ill, she would call often, and she
even took the time and wrote out a
poem of inspiration and sent it to
me in the mail. She was not able'
to come to see us, but she made
sure we knew she was praying for
us by her calls and her cards. She
inspired me by this Christian
example of caring for others. This
is something she has exemplified
in her life. We thank God for
blessing our community with
Mrs. B. D. Williams. She and
many other senior citizens of this
community are true gifts to us. I
am thankful we are taking time to
say so while they are still here
with us.
Thepoem listed below is what.
she sent to me.
"Just a Prayer Away"
Whenever you are discouraged,
your world seems cold and gray.
Whatever your care or sorrow
SGod'S just a prayer away.
SHe shared your every heartache,
and knows your smallest need;
There is never an earnest prayer
to which He gives no heed.
.No cause then to dread the
future; he will always be with
you,
Accept now the peace He offers
and it will see you through.
For He never will forsake you,
SHe knows you have done your
best,
You can depend on His promise;
trust Him to do the rest.
Though storms and fears may

beset you, He will guide you God is just one prayer away.
through each day, Sincetely yours,
He will cherish and protect you. Jeanette G. Flowers

P.A.C.E. gets thanks

Dear Editor:
The parents, chaperones and
students of the Class of 2005
parent-sponsored senior cruise
would like to thank P.A.C.E.
Local 3-1192 for the use of the
Union Hall to have meetings to
organize the senior cruise. Every
time we asked for the use of the
union hall, they gladly

accommodated us. We greatly
appreciate your generosity and are
very fortunate to have an
organization that is so willing to .
help whenever they can.
Thanks again.
Respectively, c
Class of 2005 :
Parent-sponsored senior cruise

'City council or circus?'

BEHAVIOR
Continued from page 2

recently attended a city council
meeting and was shocked and
appalled at the behavior of the
presiding mayor, Pam Feagle.
Never before have I seen such
conduct unbecoming an elected
official.
It was clear that personal
ipreferences--not facts--guided her
decisions. Maybe a few council

members need to remember it is
the people in this city who elect .
them and those are the people they
should serve not themselves or -
their agendas. When I returned -
home and told my husband what I
had seen, he too was shocked. I
guess there are pros and cons to
living in a small town. But for a'
public, official to act in this
manner is unacceptable whether it
is Perry or Miami.
Thank you,
Diane Reed

Bill Griffin and his wie, Pam, moved to Perry from Tampa this past
January. They purchased their new home.from Ironwood and were so
pleased with their home that Bill inquired about an open sales
position...he was hired on the spot.
Bill has been in maintenance, construction, and sales of new homes
for over twenty years and is looking forward to meeting new customers
and friends in the TaylorCounty area.

Stop by Ironwood to welcome one of Perry's newest residents to the
area. Ask Bill to show you Ironwood's newest homes while you're there!
