Fowler cleared by grand jury


After a day-long session of
testimony from available
witnesses, a Grand Jury returned a
"No True Bill" on Jared L. Fowler,
23, saying that he should not be
criminally charged in the Feb. 18
death of Don Jared Bain, 23.
Twelve witnesses were called
before the Grand Jury, who
returned a 19-0 vote df: "nay," in
favor of Fowler.
According to Assistant State
Attorney Dave Phelps, the Taylor
County Sheriffs Office tracked the
events and activities of the two
men and others involved in the


situation.
TCSO Investigator Donna Lee
and Lt. Ron Rice gave the
following account of the night of
Bain's shooting in a report filed
with TCSO:
After spending time at the Elk's
Club and Rocky Creek Lounge,
Bain and two friends went to
Fowler's' house after Bain told them
he wanted to "come over and hang
out.'
"Fowler said Bain knocked on
his door and when he opened it,
Bain told him to get some shoes on.
When Fowler asked why, Bain said


'because we're going to fight and
I'm gonna kick your ---,' and then
he said 'no, I'm going to kill you.'
He then grabbed Fowler by his
necklace and tried to pull him
outside.
"Fowler swayed away from him


and the chain broke. As soon as the
chain broke, Bain swung at Fowler
and he said he believes that's when
Bain hit him in the forehead and
Fowler started backing up, trying
to block and swing back at Bain.
"Fowler said that Bain hit him in


the back of his ear and his Adam's
apple, but he thinks that was in the
bedroom. Fowler stated that he
tried to get to his bedroom to shut
the door to keep Bain from getting

special meeting Monday evening.
Last year. the city paid the
elections office $6.595.30 to hold
a citywide election relating to a
proposed change to the city
charter. Three city council seats
were also on the ballot for that
June 2004 vote.
On Tuesday, Supervisor of
Elections Molly Lilliot said. "a lot
of things have gone up, so to hold

cost closer to $10.000."

According to a report presented
t. the council by Veterans
Memorial Park Committee
volunteer Richard Feagle,
estimated costs for the overall
project w ill be around $409.000.
A previous cost estimate for the
project, compiled on a voluntary
basis by local construction
company FruCon. was nearly
double that figure at $730.000.
"FruCon did that estimate on the
park at no charge It w i, done
April 29.- 200-, and it .a's put
together on the Buckeye format,"
Feagle explained. "There has been
some misconception by the public
and by officials on that cost and'we
need to try to make that straight."
He then detailed how those costs
had been broken down and
adjusted to reach the current
$409.1000 estimate.
"That $730.00 includes $30,000
for engineering. however. we have
much of that donated or partially
donated. It also includes $75.000o

The current plan is not to use

$655.000." he continued.

Fencing, panic bars to

be installed at schools

After a parent walked into Taylor County High School, April 6, and
allegedly assaulted a 17-year-old student, the Taylor County District
School Board called a special meeting last Thursday to discuss safety and
security in Taylor County schools.
"The board should be aware of some of the measures which are now in:
place, and other measures which will be put in place," began
Superintendent of Schools Oscar Howard Jr.
"Our goal now is to make every school in the district have a single-point-
of-entry, after 8 a.m.
"At Taylor County High School, fencing and 'gates with panic bars
(which allows the doors to open from the inside only) will be placed where
they are needed. The big difference at TCHS, however, will be a glass
cubicle, from floor to ceiling, which will be placed just inside the front:
doors. It will be built so that the person manning it will-be able to intercept
anyone coming inside the school," he added.
"If that person needs a student, then the person in the cubicle will make
arrangements, so that the parent or visitor will not be roaming all over the
school.
"The incident with the irate parent showed us what imperfections we -
have in the system," Howard said.
"Parents are going to have to be patient. We're charged with the safety of
the children of the county, and we are going to do as much as is humanly

SA-2 The Taco Times April 20, 2005

During prescribed burn


Smoke may reduce visibility


Weather permitting, the Florida
Division of Forestry (DOF) and
local fire departments will be
Conducting 'a prescribed burn in
Perry sometime this week between
Today (April 20) and Friday.
"These carefully planned and
executed' fires will be used to
reduce the amount of fuel and
lessen the impact of wildfires,"
said Forest Area Supervisor
Stanley Shepard.


The prescribed burn area targeted
is approximately 5.44 acres. The
burn will be conducted in the
Green Acres subdivision, along
both sides of Pimple Creek, which
is along north Center Street from
Ash Street to Pace Street. This
location has been given priority
due to the dangerous build-up for
forest fuels in close proximity to
homes, businesses and road.
"It is known prescribed fires, lit


under favorable conditions,
consume fuels and reduce the
chance of wildfires starting,"
Shepard said. "This reduction in
fuels will cause wildfires to burn
less intensely and ease firefighting
efforts."
Despite efforts to avoid negative
impacts to nearby residences and
roads, smoke may temporarily
reduce visibility and air quality.
Shepard advises residents to close


windows and to reduce speed when
driving in the area. "Please use
extra caution--drive defensively and
keep headlights on--when traveling
near the prescribed burn.
"Prescribed burning is the most
effective and least expensive
method for preventing catastrophic'
wildfires. that have plagued our
state in recent years. The smoke
you see today may prevent our
neighborhood from going up in
smoke tomorrow."

possible to see that it happens," he added.
Board member Danny Lundy asked about Perry Primary School,
because "they. are our smallest kids and the most susceptible to
abduction."
''All the schools' security is going to be addressed," answered Howard.
"We just want every parent to know that we are sorry about any
inconveniences they encounter, but with just a little patience, we will see
that whatever they come to the schools for will happen. It may take just a
little longer," added Lundy.
Howard said the front glass doors and walls at Taylor County Middle
School would be duplicated from the front office, across the front, running
along the hallway, so that visitors would be forced to stop at the office to
state their business.
"We will also be using fencing at open entrances," Howard added. "The
gates will be open until 8 a.m., but after that, they will be locked.
Students and parents alike, who arrive after that time, will need to go to
the front office, where they will either be buzzed in, or allowed entrance
into the facility.
"Perry Elementary School, our newest, is the most protected at this
point. The school is completely enclosed and when you: lock the front
fence, nobody should be able to get in without proper authorization," he
added. "We've done some other'things there, at the other schools, too."
Howard said Perry Primary School will receive a glass enclosure, just
inside the front doors, and fencing will be added to the back "to ensure the
kids' safety."
"Steinhatchee School already has an enclosure in place to keep people
from walking in at their leisure," Howard added.
Board Member Darrell Whiddon added that the new gym would have to
be fenced, "because of the classrooms which will be included in the
facility."
Lundy said he wanted to see the schools to a point, "where people who
don't belong on the school campuses cannot get in, but in case of


emergency, the kids and staff can get out."
Howard assured Lundy and the rest of the board that every school will
have safeguards such as the panic bars which "will ensure that our schools
are as safe as possible.
"We're still going to have an open door policy," he added, "but now
there will be some restrictions. It's a different world now, unfortunately,"
he added.
Whiddon and Board Chairman Brenda Carlton both asked about private
security.
"We are working with the Taylor County Sheriffs Office and Perry
Police Department, for an even closer working relationship, but if we
have to, we may have to look at private security.
"The last thing I want is to have a school system that is like a prison.
What we're doing is to take a fairly common sense approach in our
endeavors," Howard said.
Security Director Jim Brannen addressed the board.
"During the past year," he said, "we have spent over $100,000 in
upgrading security at our schools. By next week, all our new
communications will be in place and it will enhance security greatly.
"We've received two grants which allowed us to buy walkie talkie
phones, fencing and other items which will lead to every site having a
single point of entry. There will be a computer in the communication
hub that-will send alerts school-wide in case of emergencies.
"We again ask for patience," said Howard. "We ask that visitors to our
schools not fly off the handle for any inconvenience. Just realize that
we're trying to keep your children safe. There is a reason for these security
measures.
"This is an expensive thing to do, but you cannot place a dollar value
on our children's safety," he added.
"A lot of people may feel that their integrity is being questioned when
they are stopped, but that is not so," added Lundy. "I agree with the rest of
the board. We will do what we have to do, and we greatly appreciate the
patience of the community. If you ever feel slighted, just think about the
reason for the inconvenience. Think about the smiling faces of the
children."

"How much would a straw'

take those same questions and

"We may get a better response
doing that, because I don't think a

Councilman Sylvester Harris said.
"If you have a special mailing.

Feagle asked council members
to submit their suggestions for the

consideration.
Other factors to be discussed
Tuesday will be determining who
the questionnaires will be mailed
to and, "if you send it to an

$50,000 parking lot--which left us
at $409,000. We currently have
$350,000 in the Veterans
Memorial Park bank account and
whenyou add in the .additional
$100,000 committed -by the
county, we have $450,000. So we
need to make it clear that we don't
have a $730,000 project planned
and we do plan to stay within our
budget means," Feagle said.
"This project has received a lot
of negative press and I think it's
time-to be positive about it," he
concluded.
After Feagle wrapped up his
presentation, Mayor Pam Feagle,
his wife and chairman of the
Veterans Memorial Park
Committee, asked, "Are there any


questions on the budget? Does
everybody understand what he
said?"
While council members offered
no questions relating to the
budget, some did express their
concern for how other areas of the
project have been handled.
"When we have asked about the
park, we were not told that a
project manager had been hired and
added to city staff. I found out
about it by reading it in the
newspaper and felt that we should
be given all the information,
especially after asking about it a
couple of times (during open
council meetings),"
Councilwoman Emily Ketring
said.
"It happened in October (hiring
of a project manager) and at that
time I discussed it with our city
attorney, who said he saw no
problem with it and only

that by hiring him (the project
manager) as a part-time city

Brynes said.
As for not telling the council
about hiring the project manager,
Brynes said, "I messed up big
time. I messed up by forgetting
(to tell you) that he had been
hired. He's been doing the work
since October. It never crossed my

"My concern is that the council
should have been informed. It is
something that should have come

"Isn't that position temporary? "
(Richard) Feagle interjected.
"It doesn't matter. The bottom
line is, if it's a city park, this

"That is the purpose for it being ,

Dear Editor:
I am a cancer survivor and went
to the Relay for Life this weekend,
and was so disappointed.
All the years before I have seen
so much community support, but
this year I said, "Where was
everyone?"
I'm grateful to WPRY, the
many volunteers and survivors
who showed up. But I've seen
many tents, raffles and community
support in the past few years, and
it gave me and other survivors
what we look for, "HOPE!"
When I see all the people out
there cheering us on as we make


our "survivors lap" it gives me the
strength to keep going, not give
up. I know this year it came on
tax day, but I still believe what we
do is just as or more important.
I want to thank all who showed
up for their support. It still gives
me hope that maybe my fellow
survivors and I 'will be here
another year to "Celebrate Life!"
And for those of you who didn't
show up, ask yourself, "What was
I doing that was more important
than showing the survivors of this
dreadful disease, that I care?"
Just another survivor,
Denise Palmer

Letters to the Editor



Donor fears interference by hackers.


Dear Editor:
I feel it appropriate to alert
those 'who donate blood to blood
drives as to the existence of a
system of recording and storing
donors' prr.ate Social Security
numbers. These unique numbers
-are stored within blood bank
-computer records.
SThe local 25-county blood bank
program serving Taylor and
-surrounding Tallahassee areas,
-according to Ms. Jeanne Dariotis,
-blood bank manager, has close to


75.01101 such private numbers
stored and available for cross-
checking of names and addresses
and blood records of donors.
I went to the Perry
"Bloodmobile" to donate' blood.
The first question asked was for
my Social Security number. I
advised the receptionist that in
light of the thousands of identity
thefts occurring, I was not willing
to provide that number. Further
that computer records, including
theirs, appear to be no longer safe

from hackers. They insisted that
my Social Security number had to
be provided or no blood would be
drawn. I left without donating.
A recent edition of the Perry
News-Herald contained an
article pointing out the serious
blood shortage in the area. "'If the
blood supply does not increase.
the next Step will be to re-schedule
elective surgeries so the blood will
be available for emergencies," the
article quotes Jeanne Dariotis,
CEO, Southeastern Community
Blood Center.
I discussed with Ms. Dariotis
thematter of the need for Social
Security numbers, She advised
that it was to prevent duplication
of.donors with blood problems.
So if a blood sample was found to
,have a "problem." the donor and
recipients could be traced. A
conclusion as to the .privacy of
one's Social Security number
becomes apparent. You then, as a
donor, go into their "data bank."
This brings up the question as
to management of the blood
supply. Certainly it appears that if
the blood donations are adequately
tested prior to consumption, there
should be no need to store private
Social Security numbers in their
databank. Why not driver's license
numbers? Addresses? Birth dates?
Next of kin?
Ms. Dariotis advised that, once
the Social Security number was
checked, she "could" delete it and
provide a unique number to
eliminate the need for keeping a
record of the Social Security
number. (We all know that
deleting does, not. remove
information from the hard disc
storage and it .can easily be

New Master Loggers added to ranks


Jody Devane of Devane Timber
Service, Jared Compton of
Compton Timber Services, Inc.
and Williams Simpson of W. H.
Simpson Logging, LLC, all of
Perry, completed a three-day
education program designed to
train loggers in environmentally
sound, safe and efficient logging
practices.
Completion of the training
earned these men the industry
designation of "Master Logger," a
professional logger with at least
one successful year of operating
experience. Over 1,000 forest
professionals have completed this
training in Florida.
Upon completion of the three-
day course, Devane and Simpson
voluntarily submitted to a written
comprehensive exam and passed,
which earned them the relatively
new designation of Florida Master
Logger +Plus, a designation
signifying that they have gone
above and beyond and are
committed to a high level of
professionalism. Currently, there
are a total of 40 Florida Master
Logger +Plus loggers in the state.
These professional loggers
return to the Taylor County area
with "improved credentials to offer.
logging and forestry services in
this growing segment of the local
and state economy," said Bob
Moore, Logger Education Task
Force Chair. In 1996 timber
harvesting in Taylor County
produced a $9,350,000 harvest.
Approximately 1,800 employees
work directly in the forestry
industry, which that same year
generated a $60.6 million payroll.
in Taylor County. Forest products
and paper companies within the'
state collectively generate $8.6
billion in manufactured products
and-inject $1.37 billion into local
communities in payroll.
These men traveled to Lake City
where they participated in sessions
with 23 other loggers. The classes
covered technological innovations
in the logging industry,
environmental management, the
changing wood supply and
demands for more sophisticated
business 'practices. Courses
included topics on logger and


equipment safety, endangered
species,' planning for harvesting
forests, business finance, wage and
hour management, logging safety,
legal affairs and the latest in
environmental regulations.
According to Moore, "the
program has as its goals the
enhancement of professionalism
among loggers, the improvement
'of our quality of life, the


provision of a continuing flow of
goods and services and the
protection cf environmental
qualities of Florida's forests." To
date, over 600 loggers have
completed the training and earned
the title "Master Logger."
Forests cover 16.5 million acres
in Florida, nearly 48% of the
state's total land area. The forest
products industry ranks sixth in


total employees and seventh in
payroll of all manufacturing
interests in Florida.
The Master Logger program is
sponsored by the Florida Forest
Association in cooperation with
the Southeastern Wood Products
Association. Interested parties can
view the complete list of Master
Loggers at its website. at
www.floridaforest.org.
