The Department of Education.
has released preliminary 3rd grade
FCAT scores to individual school
districts, and for Taylor County
students, the scores "are similar to
scores of the past few years,"
according to Director of
Instruction Wanda Kemp.
"Math scores have been higher
,than reading scores in the past,"
she said, "and that's the case again
this year. Math scores at Taylor
County Elementary School show a
substantial improvement this year.
"There's a five percent decrease
in Level 1 (scored out of five
levels, with one being the lowest
score); a two percent decrease in
Level 2--which means fewer
students are scoring below grade
level.
"We made a seven percent
increase in Level 4 and a two
percent increase in Level 5--that's
more students 'working. above
grade level in math.
"This is exactly what we want to
do...decrease the number of
students below grade level and
increase the number of students
working at proficiency level,"
added Kemp.
In reading, both TCES and
Steinhatchee School saw an
increase in the number of students
in Level 1.


"That's not a surprise during a
year when the bar goes up," Kemp
said. "This year the bar went up 13

'Focus on writing'

leads to improved

test scores here
Florida Writes scores are in and school officials are happy with the
improvement made by students in the Taylor County School district.
"The scores are up," said Superintendent of Schools Oscar Howard
Jr.
S '"Fourth, eighth and tenth grade students all showed marked
improvement in their writing scores this year," he said. "At Taylor
!County Elementary School, there was a 15 percent average increase
in student performance, with an overall 91 percent of all students
scoring a 3.0 or higher.
S "At Taylor County Middle School, similar gains were made, with
,an average of 47 percent of all students tested scoring a 4.0 or above.
S"At Steinhatchee School, scores were mixed. Fourth graders
declined slightly, averaging a 3.0 Eighth grade, however, improved
with 50 percent of students scoring a 4.0 or-above.
"At Taylor County High School, 71 percent of all students scored
3.5 or above, an 11 percent increase from last year," he added.
"These scores are a direct result of the focus our administrators,
teachers and students put on writing this year," he said.
"High quality professional development for all our teachers, K-12
and a rigorous student writing effort were the keys. I salute all our
staff and students. These scores are outstanding and I'm very, very
Proud of the improvement. I feel like we're back on track with our
writing and I expect our scores to improve like this every year in the
future," Howard added.


Random guest


surveys ranked


Hampton at top
HAMPTON INN
Continued from page 1 .
The rankings are based on an independent random-survey of hotel
Guests. "These surveys are sent to guests randomly. We can't pick and
choose who they go to...this is how all the Hamptons are ranked," Jones
explained.
"We have been one of the top five hotels ranked by the survey since we
-'opened."
The hotel was also awarded the prestigious "Connie Award," named for
famed hotel manager Conrad Hilton.
"There are only two Hamptons in the world who havewon the Connie
Award four times--that's us and the hotel in North Carolina," Jones said.
The Perry Hampton Inn opened in May 2000 and is one of 1,289
Hampton Inns worldwide.


In early May

Individual scores will be released


FCAT
Continued from page 1
points on FCAT. That's a pretty
significant increase for the
individual student. It makes
scoring Level 2 and Level 3 more
difficult.
"However, the more important
data is in student learning gains.
When we look at the students' data
over this school year, from when
they entered third grade until now,
almost all of them have made
learning gains in reading and math
at both schools. That's the real
measuring stick for student
progress.
"It tells our teachers, students
and parents that students are
getting a year's worth of learning,
or more, for year's worth of
Teachingg" Kemp added.
"Overall, third grade scores at
TCES indicate continued progress
in reading and math, especially
considering the increases made
during a year when the bar went
up," she said. "Steinhatchee
School experienced a decline in
both reading and math' School
administrators and the director of
instruction are already analyzing
data and planning for next year."
"We'll start with this new data
base line and work with it for the
next few years until the bar goes
up again.". Superintendent of
Schools Oscar Howard Jr. said;
"The most important point I
would make. is the fact that in our
third grade at both schools, almost
all of our students made learning
gains.
"We know that' when our
students are making learning gains
from one year to the next. they're
getting the education they need for
improvement.
TTI hosts award
program May 4
Taylor Technical Institute will
host its annual Awards Day
program. today (May 4).
Ceremonies will begin at noon in
the student commons.


"I want to commend our
teachers, administrators and staff
for their steadfast commitment to
their students and their learning. I
want to thank our parents for
working with their children at
home and supporting our teachers
in their efforts," he added.

"I especially want to thank our
Third grade students for their hard
work this year. It's a team effort
and as long as we work together,
we're going to see increased
student performance," Howard
concluded.
These third grade scores are only
preliminary ones the DOE releases


to the districts so they allow
teachers to plan for third-grade
reading camp.


Individual student scores will be
released to the schools in early
May, Kemp said.

praises about the man."
Howard said he was almost
speechless when told of Adams'
decision.
"We've taken all this time to go
through the process to find the


0WWW


right person for the job, and now
this happens," he said. "But I
found out a long time ago that all
things work out for the best, and
when something is not meant to
be, then it's not meant to be.
"We will immediately begin
looking at some short-term
options until this situation iS
resolved," he added.

By crew of 'Sandy's Money'


Capsized boaters rescued within 15 minutes


BOATERS
Continued from page 1
"The Coast Guard called over
with the coordinates. We had
about six boats which wanted to


respond. The Coast Guard gave the
go-ahead."
Among those who responded
was Mike Hunter of Perry in his
boat, "Sandy's Money."
"We heard the distress call,"


Hunter said. "He was only able to
send his coordinates before they
capsized.
"We punched in the numbers
and we were only four and one-half
miles away. We were the first


ones there."
The capsized boat was located
approximately 15 miles out from
Keaton Beach.
"When we got there, they were
hanging onto the bottom of their
boat. I was able to bring them in
the boat," Hunter said.
"Right after we arrived, Impulse
got there. He's out of St. Mark's,
so he must have been speeding
there. Then three or four other
boats showed up."
Due to a problem with his
radio, Hunter was unable to
communicate directly with the
Coast Guard. Instead, Danny
Ellison in "Beats Working,"
relayed their messages back and
forth.
"The response was great,"
Sirgletary said. "They were only
in the water for about 15 minutes
before Mike got there."


"The seas were 2-4 feet and
made the going rough. We arrived
on the scene in about 40
minutes," said Charlotte Karns,
onboard "Beats Working."
"There were four boats who
responded to the mayday and all
arrived on the scene within 15-20
minutes of each other," Karns
said.
Hunter returned with the family
to the marina,. where an
ambulance was waiting to
transport one victim, who
apparently suffered a back injury
during the ordeal, to Doctors'
Memorial Hospital.
"It ended well," Hunter said.
"We were very fortunate. Keaton
Beach didn't lose a boater.
S"We only did what any other
boater, would have done. We just
got there first."


According to Karns, the rescued
family said, "It's great to be in an
area where people care about each
other and drop what they are doing
to help."


District books

close May 16

DEADLINE
Continued from page 1
Lilliott reminds residents in
districts four and five that
registration books for the election
close Monday, May 16.
As the city charter does not
address provisional ballots and
early voting, there will be only
absentee voting and voting at the
polls election day.


Five people found themselves .clinging to their overturned boat after it capsized 15 miles off
::Keaton Beach last Thursday morning. Mike Hunter, captain of "Sandy's Money,".responded to
-their mayday call and was able to rescue them. Another good Samaritan, Charlotte karns,
-onboard "Beats Working," took this photo after arriving on the'scene.



DMH, EMS smile about


financial improvements


SDoctors' Memorial Hospital's
Emergency Medical (Ambulance)
Service (EMS) saw some
: improvement in its financial
status over the last two months of
Available data.
: In February, including county
-:support of $20,666, EMS
:-:'registered a loss of $6,994. In
-March, it showed a profit of
$27,246.


DMH CEO Rick Brown
attributed this increase to a change
in billing companies. Instead of
billing only primary insurance
companies, "we will now bill
secondary insurances as well,"
Brown said.
He warned, however, that the
March numbers included the
,increased insurance payments for
the past three months, so the


numbers were inflated for that
month.
"We have increased our payment
percentage from 35 to 40 percent,"
Brown said. "We were told that the
new billing company would
increase us to 42 percent, so we
are on track."
For the six-month period
beginning in October 2004, EMS
reported a $37,191 loss.

OLD HOSPITAL
Continued from page 1
regulatory standards have changed.
During previous administrations
the facility was not upgraded to
reflect these changes. As a result
even minor alterations within-the
existing building will now have
significant impact in economic
terms.
"Although the budget may not
allow, it is recommended that all
building systems be removed and
most if not all architectural
interiors be removed, leaving the
exterior shell and structure.
"The cost opinion for a nearly
complete removal of systems:
mechanic, electrical, plumbing,
medical gas, and demolition of
most of the interior, and
remodeling 'for new business
occupancy is $3,443,088."
The use of inmate labor, the
reports goes on to say, could
reduce this price to $3,267,588.
The inclusion of support buildings
would add an additional $677,060.
"I have seen instances where
people have taken a building like
this and have been successful with
it," Louis said. "The Washington
County Office, Complex for
example."
"In your professional opinion,
what is the best course you think
the board should take?"
Commissioner Daryll Gunter
asked.
"It'd be difficult to say, because
I don't know what your needs are,"
Louis said. "If you have a lot of
need for office space and need it in
a different locale than right there,
and you had a piece of property in
the right place, I would
recommend you build a new
facility.


"If you were in the business of
leasing space and you knew you
had tenants that would go into that
and generate revenue, I might
renovate."
"For $4 million, how large ,a
facility can you design?" Gunter
asked. "A rough estimate."
Louis estimated approximately
30,000 square feet.

Discussion then moved to the
possibility of selling the complex.
"What should the target price be
if we were to sell it?"
Commissioner Clay Bethea asked.
"It's on the tax rolls for $2.6
million," County Administrator
Buddy Humphries said. "We tried
to get local appraisals before. One
firm wouldn't touch-it, the other
said they'd get back to us, and
that's last we heard of it.
"We have a.lot of recurring
costs. We have a bill of $1,200 a
month just for the elevator service
contract."

When questioned about the bill,
Humphries stated the contract was
kept in place due to a new
enforcement code for elevators. If
the contract expired, the elevators
in the building would no longer be
grandfathered in under the older
standards and would most likely
have to be replaced, Humphries
explained.
"Conrad, if we get bids, we
could always reject them, right?"
Gunter asked.
"Yes," County Attorney Conrad
Bishop said.
Bethea then made a motion to.
start the process to sell the
property. "We can look at both
avenues while we're in the
process."


"We don't need to let it sit
there," Commissioner Jack Brown.
said, seconding the motion.
"Are you talking about all the
property, or just the hospital:
building?" Humphries asked.:
"Because we have a dentist office:
out there and we still have the:
hospital physical therapy. Youi
would need to get it surveyed and:
cut out the property you wanted to:
sell."
"Rick, how much longer are;
you going to be using the therapy -
portion?" Gunter asked DMH:
CEO Rick Brown, who was in
attendance.
"We hope for no more than six
months," Brown said. "It's going
to cost about $140,000 to put:
another triple-wide out behind the
hospital."
"Which dentist office is out:
there?" Gunter asked.
"The county allowed the health:
department to use a building,":
Humphries said. "I don't know:
much about the agreement, but it
was done a few years ago. The
board approved it."


"Mr. Chairman," Bethea said, "I
would probably not cut out
anything and see what bids we
have and work out that issue then.:
Let that be part of the
negotiations."
"Is that okay, Rick?" Bethea:
asked.
"That's fine," Brown said. "I
don't want to be the one holding
up the sale of an asset of the
county, so I'll do whatever I can to
support that,"
The motion to begin putting
the hospital up for bids passed 5-
0. _

Videos could brin


\\ hat would you do if your child
\%as missing? How would you
get an accurate description to law
enforcement officers?
kWhat if ,,ou had a video tape of
\our child filled with information
that could help bring him or her
home safe?
That's the goal of the Masonic
Lodge 123 Child Identification
Program Spearheaded by
Chairman Charles Sanders, and
\ ith the partnership of


Superintendent of Schools Oscar
Howard Jr. and Sheriff Bummy
Williams, the program is trying to
produce as many identification
videos as possible.
"In 2000 in Florida, there were
over 50,000 children reported
missing," Sanders said. "There's
enough missing children. right
now to populate Taylor County
and more."
The latest round of filming
began last week and organizers say


In 1998 Floridians voted to
combine the five agencies that
were created to protect, manage
and conser e Florida's wildlife,
marine and freshwater fisheries
into one agency. The outcome of
the votes changed Florida's
Consti ut io n, giving
Constitutional authority to the
newly created combined agency,
the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission.
Rep. Will Kendrick has
proposed a House Joint
Resolution that will end the
constitutional authority of the
FWCC. HJR 1581 will give the
regulation of wild animal life,
fresh water aquatic life and marine
life to an agency under the
Legislature.
Kendrick said he feels that the
people of Florida would be better
served with FWCC as a state
agency, similar to the Department
of Environmental Protection.
Once the resolution is passed,
the fate of changing the
constitution would once again be
in the hands of Florida voters. The
repeal of Section 9, Article IV and


Section 23 of Article XII, if
passed, would be placed on the
2006 General Election ballot for
voters to decide the final outcome.
"Many user groups including
hunters feel like they are currently
at the mercy of the Commission
and feel that they have often had
their due process rights
compromised. It is important for
the' citizens of the state to have
adequate due process," Kendrick
said.

Under the current Constitution
revisions, there are those who feel
that due process is not afforded
them through FWCC. Kendrick
also .feels that the creation of the
FWCC in the Constitution was
not intended to compromise the
requirement of biological and
scientific data for the
implementation of agency rules.
An example of such would be the
rule relating to mesh size that is
in the Constitutional amendment
that was passed in 1994. People
affected by the net limitation
amendment have not had access to
a fair due process, he said.


NFCC to host GED testing
North Florida Community College will conduct GED tests May 17 and
18, at 6 p.m. in the NFCC Technical Center on the Madison campus.
Persons taking the tests will be required to furnish a photo ID. NFCC
holds GED preparation courses free of charge; there is a fee for the test.
Pre-registration is required. To register, please call (850) 973-1629.


Florida Local Advocacy Council

recruits new members for service
The Florida Local Advocacy Council is a statewide organization which
volunteers and advocates for children and disabled adults who are clients of
one or more state agencies. Council members are approved by the
governor for a four-year term. The Multi-Program Council/Service Area 4
(Ta' lor and Madison counties) is currently recruiting members for service.
The council meets monthly in Perry or Madison with additional volunteer
hours during the month. Members are reimbursed for travel expenses
pertaining to council members.
If ou are interested in learning more about the council, please contact
Sara Paramore, client relations manager, Department of Children and
Families at 1-800-342-0825 or (850) 488-9875. Information and
membership packets can be mailed upon request.


they plan to complete their work
this week.
"We've probably filmed 2,000
children before this current
program," said Sanders, who has
chaired the program for the past
five years.
He estimates they will have
completed 225 more by the end of
the current initiative.
The videos begin with the
children stating their name, age,
school, best friends, hobbies and


nicknames. Not only could this
provide law enforcement with a
voice print, Sanders said, but
could also give clues to where
they might be if they are not
where they are supposed to be.
They also film the children as
they turn in place, as well as
walking toward and away from the
camera. The children stand next to
a height chart and write their name
on the board, giving both a
handwriting sample and showing
whether they are right or left-
handed.
Once completed, the tapes are
given to the parents to keep, free
of charge.
"The videos are good for years,"
Sanders said. "They can be age
enhanced."
The free program is kept alive
through donations. The tapes as
well as supplies are donated by the
Grand Lodge of Florida. Local
restaurants have provided meals to
the volunteers.


"It's gratifying working with
children and knowing you might
be saving that child's life,"
Sanders said.
"In case they do go missing,
which we hope never happens, the
parents will be able to bring this
tape to law enforcement officers."
The Perry program is one of
many such programs around the
state sponsored by the Grand
Lodge of Florida. Sanders says he
hopes to expand the program here
to surrounding areas such as Mayo
and Old Town.
Sanders recommends parents
pick up literature available at the
sheriff's office with tips about
how to protect their children.
"The number of tapes we can
make is determined by the number
of volunteers we have. We're
always looking for more help."
If you would like to volunteer
for the program, you can call the
Perry Lodge 123 or Sanders may
be reached at SR4-7571.

Pregnancy issues


addressed at TCHD


By STEPHEN TULLOS
TCHD administrator
Taylor County Health
Department in cooperation with
the Tallahassee Memorial
Hospital Family Practice Faculty
Physicians and Nurse Practitioners
is now accepting new. patients
into the program for the
'management of pregnancy,
childbirth, postpartum care and
future family planning needs.
All women of childbearing age
can take steps even before
conceptions to improve their
chances of having a healthy baby.
A 1993 March of Dimes' report
recommends that annual pre-
conception or visits, as well as
pre-pregnancy planning visits,
should become standards of care
for all women capable of
becoming pregnant.


If you suspect you might be
pregnant, you can use a home
pregnancy test or come by the
health department as soon as the
first day of your first missed
menstrual period (about 14 days
after conception).
As soon as you know you're
pregnant, it is important to make a
prenatal appointment with your
medical provider. Your first
prenatal visit will provide baseline
information which can be used to
help monitor for any 'possible
problems as your pregnancy
progresses.
Good care during pregnancy
includes regularly scheduled
prenatal exams. At each prenatal
visit, you'll be weighed, have your
abdomen measured and have your

C Dear Editor:
5 If the events surrounding the
firing of City Attorney Bill Blue
don't cause people to raise an
eyebrow, what will? I have known
Bill Blue for over 20 years and he
is one of the most honest and
conscientious people I know. To
suggest he is pushing his own
agenda is laughable. However, an
agenda lii been pushed.

The way this happened, it's
obvious there has been a bull's eve
on Mr. Blue for some time. The


at City Hall.
Her stewardship at the city has
resulted in a formal budget review
process, more city streets are in
excellent condition, and service to
the citizens of Perry is once again
a top priority. We will miss her
leadership with tough issues such
as recreation; interface with the
county, and future city finances.
A small, but well-connected
group, continues to attack the
foundation of our city. We need


the citizens' strength and resolve
to challenge this group and insure
issues get debated. Firing Bill
Blue, city attorney, is the first
step.

I.know you have your reasons
for leaving city service at this
time and I am confident this
community will benefit once you

God bless you, Mayor Feagle.

,a bull's eye on Blue?


question was asked, "who is
running this city?" I think the
question has been answered. Thd
NAACP, with the help of
puppets! It is absolutely hypocrisy
that.people can call for the firing
of Mr. Blue for working a
political agenda days after meeting
about their own political agenda.
Do you really want the NAACP
calling the shots for our city? Here
is a small bit of information about
the NAACP. Did you know they
are affiliated with the Communist
Party of America? Don't take my


word for it, go to www.cpusa.com
and see for yourself. They have
links to organizations they are
affiliated with, and there is the
NAACP. So, is it fair to say that
Mr. Blue was fired due to pressure
from a group with a communist
Agenda? You do the math. As.the

requirement for the job. Must be
able to fit in a pocket!

The reason for my letter is two

you know what a disappointment
it was in the way your newspaper
covered this tragedy.

young man, so steady, so
determined, so goal oriented. so
focused, so cute. such a great
smile, had such compassion, w.as
so helpful to so many people. He
worked in the clerk's office, sold
real estate for Coldwell Banker" and
was a full-time student at FSU,
working on a business
administration major. He was one
of the few young people who did
-Fot get involved in drugs. He
played focused on his goals. He

just want everyone to know what
a wonderful person he was and
-how much our society will miss
out on now that he is gone.
I want people to know the
article you published about the
-grand jury decision did not tell the
holee story, because the only
other wimess to this tragic event
is dead. Our Jared was not able to
tell his side of the story. If only
you had mentioned this in Nour
:article, that you were reporting a
statement from a person \who was
able to say anything, because he
.was the only living witness and of
course, in my opinion he would
say anything to stay out of jail.
_ Now, back to the cold.
.uncompassionate way this was
.reported. Jared's mother went to


get tme newspaper about 8:30
Tuesday evening to see w hat was
said and it was this time that she
read in bold print that her son's
aorta was severed. You see. she
had not had a chance to read the
autopsy report or investigation
reports. She was not only
hysterical about this for herself,
but for her mother who did not
even know where her grandson had
been shot and his brothers as w'ell.
I wonder how you would have fell
if your had to read something of
this magnitude in the' newspaper.
I assume you reported this from
information you received from the
State Attorney's office, however


:::I

would have been nice if you would
have taken the time to realize as
this article was being written that
Jared Bain was someone's son.
someone's brother, someone's'best
friend. It would have been nice if
you would have contacted his
mother for.her thoughts or at least
stressed that you 'were reporting a
one-sided store Let's get back to
caring about people, thinilking
about what you're w riding and not

School criminally negligent?


Dear Editor:
What a joke! Go to our high
school, ask ,directions to a
student's class, barge in. beat the
crap out the student, get arrested.
go to jail. get released and go on
your merry way. Like I said. what
a joke.
In our state you can discipline
your minor child. However, if you
leave a mark, you can and will
most likely be charged with child
abuse. Go to our high school, beat
the crap out of a minor student
with your fists and get charged
with a misdemeanor and get a
fine. Like I said, what a joke.
There are a lot of things in our
community that we do hot like.
There are a lot of things that
separate us either by religion,
choice, race, political affiliation,
etc. I believe' thai the safely and
well-being of our children in our


school system should bring us
together.
If this travesty of justice is
allowed, what kind of example are
we setting for our children. How-
will you--the parents--be able to
Look your child in the face and
assure them the school is a safe
place? Look them in the eye and
tell them there are laws governing
their behavior and actions? See
their faces and say there is justice
in our community? How will
you?"
If this doesn't tick off the
parents (voting parents) in this
community. nothing will. Or is it
going to be business as usual, "it
wasn't my child?"
Ask yourself how is it that the
school is not. criminally
negligent? How would you feel if
it were your child? What would
you do?
If it were my child I would
personally hold the school and the
superintendent responsible first,
next the person committing the
act and finally our judges and legal
system which allowed these severe
criminal acts to be reduced to
misdemeanors. How can I or we
hold them responsible? At the
ballot box! Isn't it about time we
got off our backsides and did
something about our community?
Do something about our elected
officials who are supposed to
represent us and enforce our laws?
I believe it is up to us, the
voters to change what we do not
like. Not just by writing letters or
running our mouths, but by going
to the county, city and school
board meetings, getting on the
agendas, speaking out, asking
questions and being heard, and
most of all, voting.

Letters to the Editor


Letter sympathizes with city councilman, not 'sharks'


Dear Editor:
I am going to start this letter by
saying: use me once, but please
do not try it again. Yes 1 read the
paper, yes I talked to Mr.
Sylvester Harris, but the most
important thing I want everyone
to understand, I will not let him
take the responsibility of this
mess alone. Yes I called it a mess,
because I am responsible for
throwing a fresh fish into a pool
of sharks without the proper
training.


1 was thinking only about the
district getting cleaned up, and I
still stand behind that. Little.did I
know, or wasn't thinking, that the
sharks on board both the city and
county have been trained for
generations. They know how to
play the game. If the truth be'told,
we (blacks) have just started
speaking up for ourselves this past
year or so.
Sylvester was used, he said it to
me, and I told him, so was I, but
'one thing I do know we-are not


NAACP discriminates?


Dear Editor:
I recently tried to go to an
NAACP meeting held publicly in
my town of Perry. Sad to say, I
was asked to leave this meeting.
Even though in the'newspaper it
said it was open to the
community, I was asked to leave.
I am a white male and my close
friend, who.was with me, was also
white.
The excuse given--after they
repeatedly asked why we were
there--was that it was a private
meeting. Yet it took them three
attempts of asking us why wg
were there to decide this would be
a private meeting.
Before ever going into the room
I asked another person, who would
later join the samemeeting, if the
meeting would be public. His
reply was "yes," and I assumed it


Sto be so.
With the newspaper saying that
the community (was invited) and
another person attending the same
"meeting saying that there would
be no problems with me and my
friend attending the NAACP
meeting, I didn't think there would
be a problem attending the
meeting. I was wrong in this
judgment and feel I was being
discriminated against. I cannot
understand \ hy a group with the
intention of equal rights would do
this and prohibit two white males
from attending their meeting. I
feel this is wrong and there should
be something done to stop these
actions from continuing.
Thank you,
Nathien Yates
Brian Murphy


the first and won't be the last. I
myself cannot think of anyone
already trained to step up to the
plate and fight these sharks bite
for bite. I also feel that it is my
fault for not asking for training
before I tried to train someone
else.
I realize that when you go up
against politics you better be
ready. Why am I saying this?
Because now that I know I can't
and never will trust anyone else on
the council or county, I am ready.
If a young man will accept the
task of training our people that
want to run for office it is Mr.
Jack Scott. I personally have all
the respect in the world in him.
Now for the real part. Mr.
Harris made a big, big mistake,
and the.good part is he admitted
that did; so do I. Anybody in Perry
can take what I am about to say
anyway you want to. Mr. Harris is
already in office. Get him ready to
face these people who think they
are smarter than God. It is
frightening to them that we blacks
are speaking up for ourselves.
Don't let them do what has been
done to us all our lives, split us
up and turn us against ourselves.
We have been used by the white
man ever since the slave ships;
they used us to bring ourselves by
paddling the boats ourselves. This
is the time for us to stand together
to stop acting like a bucket of
crabs, just waiting to stab each
other in the back.

I stand by what I say, always

in our community to get our two
people on the city council and
talk, plan and then face these
crooks. Remember do not trust


any of them, and you know who I
am talking about. If the shoe fits,
put it on. There was a time I
would call names, but I don't
