Health care commission assembling Congressman Allen Boyd is in the process of establishing a 25- member council on health care issues in ihe Second Congressional District of Florida, including Taylor County. According to his representative, Bobby Pickles, who addressed the county commission at its May 17' meeting, each of the 16 county commissions in the district will' appoint one member to the council. The congressman will name the other nine. .The council will have three roles, Pickles said. The first is to. brief the congressman on health care issues coming before congress. Second is to serve as an education resource in the communities. And last is to prioritize funding requests, regarding health care issues for the congressman to consider in his position on the House Appropriations Committee. "It is very important that each county is represented," Pickles said. The council's first meeting will likely be in August and Pickles asked the commission to have a candidate by the board's next meeting. ,. The reception was held on the grounds of Doctors' Memorial Hospital. A few special guests appeared to show their support for his accomplishments and offer words of wisdom, including Morris Steen, president of North Florida Community College, and Dr. John Parker. Steen presented, Lynn a Certificate of Achievement and said a few words about Lynn's attendance at the community college prior to acceptance at FSU. Dr. Parker followed by passing along the last medical bag he owned before retiring as a local family practitioner and wishing Lynn the same success he enjoyed while practicing in Taylor County. "It was a very special moment, to know that a local student can be' supported by. the community.. achieve their goals and use their.: skills to care for those who supported him," DMH CEO Rick Brown said. Lynn was also given a South Florida "weekend getaway" from the hospital, as a last chance to rest before he begins his three-year residency at Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater. The residency will be the final stage before Lynn is able to begin his own practice. In addition to being accepted as a member of the first class to graduate from the FSU College of Medicine, Lynn also earned, the 'Outstanding Graduate inFamily Medicine Award." The award is presented by the . Department of Family Medicine and Rural Health and the Florida Academy of Family Physicians in 'recognition of consistent commitment to. the principles and values of family medicine while embracing the mission of the FSU .Colleg e offMedijine." . ,.A .;o.l"l ,.e"ge":o .--'.

What keeps Comcast from going in there?" Commissioner Clay Bethea asked. "The marketplace," "County Administrator Buddy Humphries said. "They didn't even want lo go there when this was originally done 15 years ago." "With the franchise that we have .now, we could feasibly go in," Said a Comcast representative in attendance. "Their franchise is non-exclusive. If it was economically viable, we would go there." Commissioner Jack Brown made a motion to pass the ordinance with Pat Patterson seconding. The vote was 4-1, with Gunter opposing. "We've been trying for three or four.years to get this approved and basically .Comcast got three or four years free on us," Gunter said.

"I am green," said Etheridge, one of the newly certified volunteer firefighters. "Everyone else had experience. The course is not easy. It's study, study, study." "I appreciate you supporting us and getting us the training," said Parker. "I have been a firefighter for the county for 20 years. My first class was at TTI and it was 40 hours. We've gone now to enhance ourselves to better the county with service." "I've been a firefighter for 18 years," Holden said. "When the state came up with this idea of 160 hours and you're working shift work, I wasn't too keen on the idea. But I'm glad I did, for more reasons than one. Like Ken and Don, I had 40 hours of training way back when and a lot has changed since then. "We don't profess to be heroes, like a lot of people see us. We don't want people to look at us like that. All' we are is common people trying to help serve people, save lives and save property. That's all we're about."

After the devastating 2004 hurricane season, many people in Florida are now beginning their preparations for the 2005 season, which begins June 1. The National Hurricane Center and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration reminds Floridians that the 2005- 2006 hurricane season begins June I . The Florida Legislature also, looked ahead to the approaching hurricane season during its recent session.

Preparations starting for hurricane season Editorial Letters to the Editor Bad taste or good preparation? a 'd t ,:'o,. i / re p"... Dear Editor, In a letter last week (MayN. 18, 2005), Jenny Miller indicated that to go to a public meeting of an organization because you "just want to know what's going on" ,shows bad taste. It's kind of funny --I thought the whole reason for these meetings was to let people know what is going on. Why else would anyone want to go to a meeting? I am a mfiember of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and I can say that we .encourage anyone. member or not, to come out and attend any of our meetings, especially if you "just want to know what's going on." Many of ; our current members came to several of our meetings prior to joining. How else would you determine if the organization you are considering joining is right for you or not? To ask someone to leave a; meeting because they are not a member and are just trying to find. out what is going on with the organization would lead a lot of people to believe that the organization has a hidden agenda or some other business taking place in the meeting that they would not want the general community to know about. It's not like the two men. who were "asked to leave, were asking to \ote as members of the organization or disrupting the meeting in any way or form.. . As for other comments in her letter: All I can say is that I believe that II behooves all of us to know and understand our enemies. Knowing about or knowing how to research certain information about organizations, or any thing else for that matter, does not make you a parlyto that information. It is simply a method of learning as much information as you can about the subject in question. It's called educating yourself and I would strongly advise it to anyone. To me it is totally unacceptable to say to yourself "I don't know, don't care, and am not going to look." This.type of attitude turns a. blind eye to all factual information that is available on any subject Now, as far as communist influence within the National Association for the Ad\ancement of Colored People: I would recommend "Biographical Dictionary of the Left." by Francis N. Gannon; "The Enemy at the Gates. Part 1," b, Roger W. McCredie: or go to the NAACP's own national web site. In looking at the NAACP's web-site you can go into the organization's past resolutions and public statements. but It helps to have a fair amount of knowledge of socialism and how it works to be able to read between the lines. The social programs that the NAACP endorses are indicative of utilizing a central government to redistribute everything from wealth, to jobs. to education, etc. This concept is basic socialism, and it is not hard to identify when \ou know what you are looking for. : SDwayne Searcy Century Club thanks sponsors Dear Editor: The Century Club of TCHS and the sponsors of the junior-senior prom \would like to take this time to thank all the community members who helped make the :2005 TCHS prom a success.

It is with deep appreciation to God and Doctors' Memorial Hospital that I am here today to be able to tell you how wonderful the services, physicians, staff and facility are that I feel saved my life and made my stay in the hospital as well as any hospital in the country. On. May 10 I went .to my doctor's office for several reasons. I am the type of person that when someone : asks "how am you doing?" I will always sa), "fine." Well, on this visit when I said, "'fine," the nurse practitioner, Nunnie Emery, said "no. you're not." She' ran a few tests. explained to' me what.my situation was, and with' such kindness in her heart told me that I was going to the hospital. She could sed that I truly was not well. Wendy, Rhonda, Sharon and Linda were so compassionate in Dr. Mohammed's-office to me as well. Upon entering the emergency. room I was seen by Dr. Cordova and nurses. They were wonderful and caring to me and my husband. You could not have asked for better service and knowledgeable people. A little while later Dr. Mohammed came to see me. This man has always treated me so kindly and with such professionalism that I can't imagine being ill anywhere else. Dr. Mohammed did what any good doctor should do.with a patient with multiple diagnoses. He called Midweek Muddle Who are the true fishing optimists? ": -- "': .By SUSAN H. LINCOLN By SUSAN H. LINCOLN It is with foreign curiosity that I watch the boys prepare for any fishing trip. They don't even know I'm looking. We played baseball until 10:15' Friday night, and then returned home to a frantic "get ready for the Optimist Club tournament" workshop which inv.oled'" miles of fishing line and steady planning..- 'Where are we going first?" asked the son, who was making piles of used line on the floor and putting "fresh line" on the reels. I can't tell you the father's answer. except to say that it involved 'local waters." "And then where?" the son inquired, as the father completed an inventory of the hooks and lures within the tackle box--too close to the daughter's white sorority formal which is still languishing on the pool table while we attempt to find a place for all her worldly belongings before she leaves home again in two months. I grabbed the white dress and only got intent stares from both members of the' family with a "y" chromosome. "Can you get us together some drinks?'" the father asked, and I knew I should have stayed on that couch. So I grabbed up a half dozen waters and Gatorades, as well as some snacks and remembered not to include napkins. The boys are offended -when I add napkins; plus, it's a waste of paper. At 11:45 p.m., the boys trudged up the stairs to bed, setting their alarms for, the big tournament. "I wouldn't mind going out oni'the boat and getting some sun, I interjected, since no one had asked. S"Fine," the husband said. "We're leaving at 5 a.m. Forget that. . The next thing I remember, was the alarm and that herd of cattle going down my stairs. Then I returned to sleep and couldn't help but be happy that I wasn't getting any sun. For I was getting some peace and quet, and we can all thank the Optunists for that, once a year. I was just settling into my favorite couch for morning t.v., when the son appeared at the patio window. MIh heart dropped. "The husband's dead," I thought. I rushed to the window and the boy's,. face was a sad one. "The boat wouldn't :work," he said, with obvious disappointment. "Never could get it to crank,' he added, shaking his head. I looked to the side yard and the husband was venting... 'I am so...." I'll let you finish the sentence, but it was an animated expression of both anger and disgust. "We've been up since 5 a.m...." andI'll let you finish that sentence too. Like a good Jewish mother, I said, "Can I get you'something to eat?" It was the only thing I could think to say. "We don't want to eat," said the husband. ."We want to fish." ell, since I can't fix-the motor, is there anything else I can do?" "We lust came back to get the little boat, and we're going again," said the boy. I "In the john boat?" I asked. "Yeah," he said. . Thev'pulled oaut -the smaller..niobtr, for that boat and it cranked first titue. S"You can fix us some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches," said :the husband. instructing the son to remove the contents of the big boat and to pare them ,.own'for the little boat. The father hoisted the little boat into the back of the truck, with sheer andrenalin and rage, and within 30 minutes, they were gone again. "Poor boys," I said aloud, as I settled into my couch again, watching their dust settle in the. driveway. Ten nunutes later, the daughter--who had an, overnight babysitting job--arrived in their dust. "Can I have the couch?" she asked. "I am so tired."- I gave up my couch' and decided that the Optimist Tournament had not proven to be as much fun as I had hoped. I fed my. disappointment by going to the grocery store, and running three errands. When I returned home early afternoon, the truck and the little boat were parked in the side yard. "Uh oh," ,I said, and.I knew this couldn't be good. "We goti out about 300( yards, and -the little motor wouldn't crank," said the husband between snores and sighs. "I had to paddle us in against the current, load the stupid boat back on the truck..." "Oh no," I said, feeling his pain. "It cranked this morning." "I know,' he said, resisting the urge to bite my head off at that moment. "The boe was going to get out and push, and it looked like a. Tarzan movie with alligators sliding off the banks into the water." He just shook his.head; I thought he nught cry. "We've been up since 5 a.m., out twice with two different boats. It's 2 p.m. and we haven't even wet a hook." "I'll fix you a big dinner," said I, and how did I grow up Jewish in the Baptist church? "No;,we're going again," he said. "You're out of boats," I reminded him. "And, we're out of the tournament," he was sure, "but I've never let a fish stump me before and I won't today either." Two hours later, they loaded up for local waters within a local hunting club. And they caught fish--good fish. They came home after dark smiling, and overlooking the previous horror of the day. If the Optimist tournament had a category for optimistic fishermen, they would have won. It took two boats, two motors, six bags of ice and 14 .hours,-but as eternal optimists, they conquered the finned species. And beat their chests. It was a small step for a man and his boy, but a giant leap for all testosterone. '-C ~ nd-A 1 t l ~ 1* ? 123 S. Jefferson Street P.O. Box 888 Perry, Florida (850) 584-5513 DONALD D. LINCOLN SUSAN H.
