Both employees have been recommended for termination, Taylor County School District Transportation Director Lairy Hendry said Tuesday. The issue will go before the - school board at its June 7 meeting, Superintendent of Schools Oscar Howard Jr. said. "Their contract with the school district ends the last day of school Although we have a board meeting tonight (Tuesday), ou attorney recommended that in order to give them adequate time to respond and prepare, we should put this on the agenda for our next meeting," he said. "Employees need to do'their job, We are entrusted with the lives and safety of the children of this county and when we don't do our job, then we put thpse lives in jeopardy. And that type of behavior will not be tolerated," Howard said. Explaining how the incident occurred. Hendry related,' "The' driver thought the child got off the bus, but he evidently had fallen, asleep 'and didn't. Once the bus returned to the compound, around 8 a m., both the driver and aide failed to' follow the established procedure of checking the bus from . back to rear to insure that no child 'First in Forestry' , Taylor ranks #1 in forest industry Taylor County has been called the. "Forest Capital" for years. Now, according to a new study, thq courity has even more reason to hold that title. Forestry is the largest agricultural industry in Florida according to a study which was recently released by the Florida Forestry Association and the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. In addition, Taylor County has the highest economic output within the forestry industry\ of any county in the state. Florida's forest products had a total economic output above $16.5 billion in 2003, the report says. In Taylor County that number was $1.94 billion, giving it the largest output in the state. Miami-Dade County followed with $1.89 billion and Duval County was in third with just over $1.7 billion. The forestry industry and related fields are also credited with 7,700 jobs in Taylor County. Titled "Economic Impacts of the Forest Industry in Florida," the landmark study states that the industry supplied Florida with more than 133.000 jobs in 2003. "The report confirms what those in the agricultural industry have always known--that our forests and products derived from them have a tremendous economic benefit to Florida," Agriculturalt Commissioner Charles Bronson said. In additional to providing jobs. the report states..Florida's forestry community manages forests that provide %wildlife habitat, clean air, clean water, recreation and more than 5.000 products used daily. "Citizens in north Florida understand first-hand the importance of forests and forestry to our local economies." said Dan Simmons of Buckeye, Florida. "This study documents in a systematic way the benefits of forests to the total state economy. From every perspective, trees are important to our well being. "The people who plant and nurture trees' in Taylor County can be especially proud that alter 100 years of sustained production. Taylor County forests continue to have a major economic impact," he said. Taylor County has been active in celebrating its forests and one of its signature events, the Florida Forest Festival, is set to celebrate its 50th anniversary this year. "The reason for the festival is to celebrate forests and the forestry industry." said Rick Olcon, festival spokesman. "It's great to know that forestry is number one in Florida -..

They failed to do that and as a result put a child in harm's way. I just thank the good Lord the child is okay." The boy was discovered by another driver around 1:45 p.m. "She walked by the bus and could hear him on the bus crying." ..- Please see page 2 Bids sought Sports Complex one step closer to construction The Taylor County, Sports Complex is one step closer to beginning construction.

Head Nurse Susan Thompson and Lisa Massey told police they were conducting a drug inventory at approximately 9 a.m. Monday when the theft was discovered. The drugs had last been counted Thursday, May 12, according to a report filed with the Perry Police Department by PPD Ptl. Dodd Franklin. "The recovery room had not been used Friday. Saturday or Sunday," Franklin said. "However the adjoining out-patient room had been open on Friday." .The drugs taken included: dilaudid, 1 mg; demerol, 25 mg; demerol, 50 mg; morphine, 4 mg; morphine, 10 mg; and valium, 10 mg.

Bus incident is second this year BUS Continued from page A-1 The child was taken to Doctors' Memorial Hospital (DMH), where was treated and released. "I was there when he was released from the hospital and from all appearances he was doing well," Hendry said. Both the driver and aide had been with the. school district for approximately fi.e \ears. "Lip until this point, both have been very good driver, and very caring employees with the families and children they served. This was a lack of following through on individual responsibilities to check and clean the bus in the morning, and to insure no child is left on the bus unattended," Hendry said. This is the second instance this school year in which a child was left unattended on a school bus. A six-year-old child was locked inside a school bus for nearly si\ hours last August, after apparently falling asleep and missing his school stop. The incident prompted the transportation department to implement a new procedure that called for all (bus) doors to be open at all times when parked at the compound. That procedure had been followed Monday, Hendry said, "but apparently the little boy was too scared to realize he could get off the bus and so he stayed where he was." 900 participated in 4-H public speaking program By: LORI C.

Will Kendrick's proposal to place FWCC under stale regulation. As the wife of a commercial fisherman, I can't agree more. I know that for the sake of our prosperity and as good stewards of the earth, we must protect our lands, oceans, wildlife and fisheries, but it seems that in the last few years the regulations imposed by state and federal agencies have increasingly denied citizens in the seafood industry an opportunity to earn a living. As a teen in the 1970s, I lived in Panacea. Back then Panacea was a small fishing community where almost everyone earned their living in the fishing. shrimping and crabbing industries. Those men and women grew up in that community and learned their trades from their fathers, grandfathers and great grandfathers. There were no millionaires in Panacea back then. Only friendly hardworking people who were patriotic and family oriented. Just the kind of people who framed and formed this great nation. But when the government decided to impose a net ban, they unilaterally put many of those hard working people out of a job with callous indifference. , If we can put a man on the moon and send a satellite to Mars, why can't we design nets or traps that- will protect endangered species and still allow the fishermen to earn a decent living? Our fair state is bordered on three sides by the ocean. Long before tourists ever discovered our paradise. fisherman. crabbers and shrimpers were harvesting seafood along our coasts. Government regulations are now endangering another species: the small business Florida fisherman. New regulations just this year will restrict long line boats (larger vessels with a crew that fish with a long line and multiple hooks) to a limited catch that will steadily decrease throughout the year.

B-2 The Taco Times May 18, 2005 Newspaper lied? It must have felt good for Alphonso Dowdell to sit in his city council chair last week and declare, "The newspaper lied." We- don't doubt that a lot of people enjoyed the sentiment and agreed with it. For the record, what Dowdell claims we lied about was an April 29 article in the. Perry News-Herald in which ,we stated Dowdell, Mayor Pam Feagle and Councilman Sylvester Harris "may have" violated Florida's Sunshine Law by attending a recent, NAACP meeting that "appeared to have contributed" to the firing of City .Attorney Bill Blue just a few days later. The issue here is not whether the three had the right to fire Blue, but that the public--the entire public-'- should have had: a chance' to understand their deliberations and decision-making process. The Government-in-the'-Sunshine Manual, prepared by the State Attorney General's office, is the guidebook for elected officials and the public on ,Florida's open government laws. It includes not only laws and cases, but attorney generals' opinions on the law. Passages found in the manual appear to have relevance in this case: *"...the law is applicable to any gathering, whether formal or casual, of two or more members of the same board or commission to discuss some matter on which foreseeable action will be taken by the public board or commission." *"...it is recommended that the city commission postpone formal action on controversial matters coming before the board at a meeting where the public has not been given notice that such an issue will be discussed." Further, the manual recommends that elected officials should avoid even the appearance of impropriety. By attending a NAACP meeting in which the city attorney's work was discussed, and then voting upon his job status the very next meeting (without it being an agendaed item), Dowdell, Feagle: and Harris did NOT avoid the appearance of impropriety. They were the epitome of impropriety. So, are we sure these three violated the Sunshine Law? No. But they may have, and they should be as concerned about it as we are. Toward the end of summer, those boats will barely cover the cost of their.fuel. ice,.bait and tackle to make a trip. and won't-be able to pay their crew or captain a decent salary before they limit out. Grouper (which my husband fishes for on a small single man hook- and-line vessel) will probably close this year in October, according to the National Marine Fisheries. This will put my husband and all of the other reef fishermen, small boats and long lines, out of work from October to January. Does anyone care that in a free society you can't pursue the career .. Please see page 3 bad taste' website, but it never occurred to me that in the year 2005, and in America, these things exist. How could I be so slow? Well, you almost got me again. The old people used to say if you lie with : dogs you will get fleas. No I did not go to the website you wrote about, because I have no idea what. you are talking about and you don't either. Now let me explain about the two men that were asked to leave the NAACP meeting. If you go to .:the town hall or courthouse you can attend any meeting you "choose, but when you walk in a meeting with nio intention. of joining, or if you, are not a member and.all you will say is you just want to know what's going on, it shows bad taste. I would never walk into the Elks Club, sit off by myself and say I just want to know what is going on So let's call a spade a spade This is the first'time in my knowledge that white person has been asked to leave an all black meeting. Don't misunderstand me, it doesn't have to be an all black meeting, but have a better reason than "we just want to know what's going on" or "I want to know what you people are up to." Yes it took three tunes before they were asked to leave, because we were trying to be tactful and not just say get out, the way some people would have done. How come I know so much about this? Because I-was there. If we are accused of anything, it is trying to get along with people, not put fear in them, the way fear has been put in us (black) people all our lives, so just relax and go along with the flow.

LINCOLN Editor's Note: When this column was written nine years ago. I had no idea that it would be re-published as a tribute to the Class of 2005 at Taylor County High School But the elementary student, mentioned below, is one of the top students in this year's graduating class I shouldn't be surprised, nor should I doubt the lasting value of time spent in a concession stand. If you are really and truly a mother, you will serve time in a concession stand. It doesn't matter where; it doesn't matter why; but you will find yourself behind a counter swatting flies, slinging drinks and trying to make correct change so as not to embarrass yourself before people who are one-third your age. I knew the school year was off to a raring start when I found myself in a muggy concession stand, surrounded by chips and candy, boxed in by cellophane bags of cups on top of filled ice chests. The price list is never easy. Everything should be a quarter or a dollar just to make life easy for mothers. But since life is seldom easy, it would follow that concession stand prices will not be either. Doughnuts are 25 cents but drinks are 50, and if you just want ice, il have to ask. Cookies are 2 for 25; lollipops are 10 cents; and if you want chips, we've got five kinds. The most popular variety of candy sold in this concession stand was priced: two- for 25 cents. "Will you sell me just one?" a young man with big brown eyes asked. "No, we don't do half-cents," I said, as nicely as I. could. It costs nothing to be nice. : "I can't afford but one," he added. S"Then I'll buy both for you," I said, Remembering that it.sometimes costs to be nice. :This can get you in trouble in a concession stand. I once spent $6 on a child who was starving, hadn't had anything since .lunch and needed a sandwich for dinner. After $6, Icut her off. Her mother would be horrified, but we mother-types do this sort of thing in case our children appear like waifs before other adults and beg for money. It could happen. Numbers have always been more difficult for me than words. :I can talk my way out of anything as long as I don't have to add. So here I am sweating and swatting, and some well-meaning student asks me, "How many of the (2 for a quarter) candies can I have for $1.25?" He probably thought I was staring at him in impatience when I was actually cipheringg (like Jethro Bodene) while looking at his eyeballs. "What is 10?" I answered quickly, pushing the buzzer and forgetting that I wasn't on Jeopardy. "What did you say?" he asked, looking at me quizzically. "Ten," I said this time, more confidently. How many could he get if he bought a drink, :too? When he wasn't lookiing-l1 df-drifriiiUl math on the wall of the concession stancE and checked myself. "Six," I answered zealously, again to be the first to push the buzzer. Soon thereafter, I found a right hand maul for the remainder of my sentence in thiu concession stand. He wasn't much talleV than my elbows and I soon found out that he was a young student enrolled ir: elementary school. Let me tell you: the kid knows numbers; "As long as I think of it being money, I carn do it," he said. I eyed him suspiciously. as if I'd like to buy stock ir him right now..-. He'd listen to me take an order.: immediately flash to the price list, and voice his estimate on the order. "That's exactly right," I said, surprised the first time. There was only one possible slip-up ij the whole afternoon's volunteer work. Hj presented one eighth grader's change t$ him and the student challenged. "You gavy me too much money." I applauded tlt patron student's honesty. . But my right hand man was right. I4e added it up again, orally, and delivered tle total again--for both of us-- as if he was o Wall St. and this, was the Dow Jondg Industrial. -. "Well, he's right," I said to the honest student, as I patted in a congratulate* manner the student who was both honest and accurate. "One day you'll own this town," I said t him. "I'd rather have a big city," he said. You.go boy. Once when the afternoon's sales began to lag, my right hand man began counting money: pennies, quarters, nickels, dime and dollars. "We've got $51.75," he said: Then I checked himself, "But I'll have to ask wh~i we started with, and subtract that." I smiled proudly, and I'm not his mama. "If you were in sales," I said to him with a lilting expectancy, "ten percent of that would be yours. Maybe 15." I let the words hang over his head as- watched with glee while the wheels turned, and chi-chinging noises went off i his cash-register-head, and he envisioned himself in a vault surrounded by money 0t driving the latest sports car with a moo'i roof. ;: It was a .delicious moment among thg doughnuts. A little boy with a big future. I had only one bad thought: One da he'll probably be my landlord. :i (Congratulations to Joey Jarvis and all the graduates in the Class of 2005.) .--. Letters to the Editor .. Endangered species: small business fishermen I I ' I Letters to the Editor 'Exploited bcar Editor: : I guess it's time for Miss Nellie t blow off more steam. This concerns home insurance. I have .Spen insured with an insurance tmpany that is well known. You hiave to subscribe to their monthly i1agazine to be able to have their iiOsurance. Well, after 10 years of ICruel irony' witnessed SPECIES continued from page B-2 you are passionate about without being regulated out of existence? SSome sports fishermen will say the fish population is declining. My husband and other commercial fishermen would disagree with .that, saying that the fish are there. It takes more than just desire to catch a fish. It takes skill and hard ,vork. Some have it, some don't. SI'mn not saying that there shouldn't be regulations in place to protect the fisheries. Of course, here must be if we are to continue ib enjoy seafood and protect all inarine life. But surely there must te a better way to do it! And gutting the control of FWCC tnder the jurisdiction of the State Legislature and ultimately Florida otherss would definitely be a step it.the right direction. Recently my husband saw a man with a "NOAA" emblem on his shirt in a restaurant ordering a grouper dinner. He said he almost walked over to the man and told him he wasn't allowed to eat his dinner and that grouper eating season would be closed for the next three months. He opted-for, the more Christian response, and just nodded and said, "hello." -It was a cruel irony that the "NOAA" guy was eating grouper *while he and other government officials were regulating Florida's fishermen out of business. Sincerely, Robin Gray-Strickland by an insurance company? having and believing that I was safely covered with this company, they suddenly canceled my insurance. Not for non-payment or late payment. Payment was made every month before payment was Idue; no claims ever filed. Well, out of a clear blue sky, "cancellation." The company set, forth in typewritten words that because I had a washer and dryer on the back porch, and the porch was covered in mildew, they had to cancel my insurance ,Well, it's true! I have my washer and dryer on the back porch jnd ihe drain is deposited on my.back yard, not on the porch. I have yet to see any mildew. How does this company justify their cancellation? I am a senior citizen living on Social Security; now I am forced to get another policy which costs more. Where does the buck stop? Because of the flood and natural disasters, why me? I live in a flood-free zone, no vicious animals; just a little old lady, trying to make ends meet. It could happen to you! The insurance companies have to have fancy offices and are bleeding the poor people dry. The executives are living in fabulous homes, drive expensive cars, champagne lunches, and the poor people have to pick--with the chickens. My home is pressure washed every year, and termite-treated, does not have any leaks and is pest-controlled once a month. I feel like I have been exploited by the insurance company. Well, I found another company with the premiums a little higher; but this is not supposed to-happen. Just. grin and bear it. It ain't fair. As far as thp insurance company is concerned, the only thing they care about is they might have to give up their lifestyle. Oh well, every dog has his day. I hope the poor people like me have their day. I am tired of being dumped on. In addition, adding insult to injury, this same company has been charging me each month for. insurance that was being paid by the escrow account in my mortgage. The insurance company owes me approximately $500 for double payment. I was paying the insurance company plus the payment was included in my, mortgage payment. Like I say, where does the buck stop? Sincerely, Nellie Valdes B-3 The Taco Times May 18, 2005 We voted 'no' Dear Editor: Re: "Missile Range Site ':Remains on Hold," Perry News-Herald, May 6-7, 2005 Really? Hold fast! It better not happen. We the people, after all .our violated rights to vote, finally got a "straw ballot" and voted missile sites out by a 75% or more margin. Understand one thing, we are Americans; you cannot "tread on us." Our vote does count. You are not going to make a "target" out of Taylor County and our Nature Coast! I don't care who you are. I thought this was to be done with, but I realize when there's so much money and the military involved, all things may "fly out the window." Well, you've already claimed parts of Florida. There's White Sands, N.M., and other testing sites you can use. What do you want to do? Mess up the whole world? Believe me, I'm more patriotic than most, but enough is enough. We voted "no" and it is still "no" for your answer. Take your bombs and missiles and use the sites you already have. We don't want them. Like I would' say to a child, "how many times do you have to be told?" We are still in there fighting. Are you listening? Elizabeth Sadler Writer sees 'witch hunt' Dear Editor: Well I see another successful witch hunt conducted by Pam Feagle and Co. As a community, we should he ashamed that we allow this type of action to take place.. Why after eight ,eiar of loyal service is Bill Blue' promoting a personal agenda? Mr. Walter Bishop was quoted in the .paper last week, "I think \ou need to give Mr. Blue his talkingg papers. Every week I see this happen ...You need to say you are not going to stand back and let Mr. Blue run this city." I. was not aware that Bill Blue was running the city or even wanted to" Where is this-logic coming from? I don't think it is Bill Blue who is trying to run the city! A little over a month ago my. husband and I were also victims of "Pam Feagle and Co." We had a billing discrepancy with the city :over trash pickup. We came before the council and provided enough evidence that any logical person would need to, conclude that a mistake had been made. They word being "logical." The outcome of the vote was a 3-2 !for us to pay the original bill. The three votes coming from Pam Feagle, Alfonso Dowdell and Sylvester Harris. After rc ading the paper last week it is becoming clear to me why. The foreman for the city trash pickup is' Walter Bishop. I guess he's Pam Feagle's 'errand boy." I guess they have a "I scratch your back if you scratch mine relariionship." Hie needed her to back up his stor) concerning our Issue and she needed him to help get the ball rolling to have Bill Blue fired.

God bless America. A SOLDIER DIED TODAY Author Unknown He was getting old and paunchy and his hair was falling fast, and he sat around the Veterans Hall telling stories of the past. Of a war that he once fought ii and deeds that he had done, in his exploits with his buddies; they were heroes, every one. And though sometimes to his neighbors his tale became a joke, all his buddies listened quietly,.for they knew whereof he spoke. But we'll hear his tales no longer, for old Bob has passed away, and the world's a little poorer, for a Soldier died today. He won't be mourned by many,, just his children and his wife. For he lived an ordinary, very quiet sort of life; Voters need to 'wake up' HUNT Continued from page B-3 she had no reason to doubt him. She must have incredible, faith in 'this man to believe him incapable of making a mistake. Was Bill Blue not dedicated? Why after eight years of loyal service does Bill. Blue now have a personal agenda? I don't think it, is his agenda that we need to question. It isPam Feagle's. Why do we often see 3-2 votes within the council? Usually on. votes that are controversial or maybe just a little jaded. Feagle, Dowdell, Harris vs. Ketring. Everett. After what happened last week it makes you wonder. I have never been involved in politics. The most involvement I had was a bumper sticker or a yard sign in my yard and I always vote. But the injustices within the city. are enough to make even me get involved. I do not live in the city but receive city services so I cannot vote :for city council. But we are all affected by the decisions of the council. So don't use. the excuse that just because I am not, in that district or inot in the city it doesn't affect me. Because trust me, you never know when it will affect you. Wake up, folks, and see what is going on around you. Don't wait until you are a victim before you. become involved. This is not an issue of a political party or a special interest group. It is a matter of right and wrong. Do the right thing, vote at your next election and %ole for the community as a whole. He held a job and raised a family, going quietly on his way; and the world won't note his passing; though a soldier died today. When politicians leave this earth, their bodies lie in state, while thousands note their passing,-and proclaim that they were great. Papers tell of their life stories from the time they were young, but the passing of a Soldier goes unnoticed and unsung. Is the greatest contribution to the welfare of our land, some jerk that-breaks his promise and cons his fellow man? Or the ordinary fellow who in times of war and strife, goes off to .serve his, country, and offers up his life? The politicians' wages and the stvle in which he lies, are often disproportionate to the service that he gives; While the ordinary Soldier, who offered up his all, is paid off with a medal and perhaps a pension, small. Its so, easy: io forget them, for the many times, that our Bobs and Jims went to battle, but we still pine. It was not the politicians with their compromise and ploys, who won for us the freedom that our country now enjoys. Should you find yourself in danger, with the enemies at hand, would you really want some cop-out, with his ever waffling Karen Lee stand. Or would you want a Soldier, his home, his country, his kin, just a common Soldier, who would fight until the end? He was just a common Soldier, and his ranks are growing thin, but his presence should remind us, we may need his like again. For when ,countries are in conflict, we. find the Soldiers' part is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start. .If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise,' then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days. Perhaps just a simple headline in the paper that might say "Our Country is in Mourning, a Soldier. Died Today." Bruce R. Foster, Commander SAMVETS Post 20 BAD WATER?
