This comes as the county commission Monday night voted to do all it could to bring the power plant here. Jacksonville Electrical Authority (JEA), working.with two other Florida utilities, released a notice Tuesday morning to land brokers and property owners in 11 other North Florida counties about its search for a site to build the plant. According to Taylor County $1.3 million is low bid for sports complex The county announced at Monday night's commission meeting that it had received two bids for Phase 1 of the Taylor County Sports Complex: The first, from Prince Inc., is for $1.790,000. The firm is located in Palmetto. The second bid is for $1.367,488 from Slone and Associates, located in Valdosta, Ga. According to a schedule County Administrator Buddy Humphries presented the board in April, a. notice of award will be issued Friday. June 10. A pre-construction :conference will be held June 17.and a project update based orn the, approved construction schedule will be presented to the board June 20. Phase 1 construction' will include: construction of U.S. 19 turn lanes, paved parking and roadways, soccer fields, storm water management facilities, picnic pavilions, irrigation and site lighting. The irrigation and lighting will be installed by MUSCO Lighting and Russell Daniels Irrigation, respectively, and the cost is not included ih this construction bid.' Phase 1 will also include, according to i the draft, a maintenance building, a concessions/restroom building and an administrative building (which is already on-site). Unrelated to this bid, Taylor County recently received a $200,000 Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDRAP) grant from the Department of Environmental Protection Division of Parks and Recreation for thd sports complex. The grant will be used to construct tennis courts, basketball courts, restrooms, a picnic pavilion, a playground and parking areas. Economic Developer Rick Breer, this is "because Foley Timber and Land has not offered a price for the preferred site after months of negotiations." Tn the release, the consortium stated it is looking for a site 22C00- 2500 acres in size in the North Florida area.that is predominantly uplands and bordered b\ \wetlands, The location i in the North Florida area, but is not limited to Baker. Bradford, Hamiltori, Madison, Columbia, Dixie, Lafayette, Levy, Suwannee, Gilchrist, Union and Taylor counties. Foley Vice President John Morris said his company feels it has a location that meets the criteria. ,"We took another look at it today and feel a high percentage of it is not wetlands," he said. At Monday night's county commission meeting, Commissioner Jack Brown addressed the board. "After careful consideration and having reviewed all the information and having talked to people on both sides of the issue and having done a lot of research on the internet, I'd like to make a motion that the board aggressively pursue working with Foley Timber and Land or any other landowners and the electrical consortium in bringing this electrical power plant to Taylor County," he said. Commissioner Clay Bethea seconded the motion and it passed 5-0. Bethea asked Breer, who was in attendance, "Is the Taylor County Development Authority (TCDA); getting all the help they need?" "Yes," Breer said, "I think that the action you are taking tonight in getting the information to get a $1.4 billion enterprise is the right step." He also stated that the TCDA would soon be able to provide information to the community regarding the project. Breer said Tuesday his efforts .- Please see page 3 By ANGELA M.

The eldest daughter of five, brothers 'and sisters, Austin attended Sandy Hill School through the llth'grade. While the rural classroom has become an object of historical lore, to Austin it remains in memory simply "a little ole' country school." She and her siblings walked to school, "but if it was cold or raining. Daddy would take us in the wagon. He didn't let us miss a school day if possible. "I had a 'good childhood.

But, with proper conditioning before you hit the course or court, you may prevent a painful situation that might otherwise je:opro iz an active season.

Many of these injuries could be avoided or minimized it i glers or tennis players participated in a'regulartotal-body conditioning program that should include aerobic, strengthening and flexibility exercises. Aerobic: Spending hours on the course or court requires endurance. Thirty minutes of cardiovascular activity done at least three to four times a week will sufficiently increase endurance levels. Walking, jogging, swimming and cycling are examples of activities -hatl wor. the large muscle groups in the body and will improve Heart and lung function. Strength: The golf or tennis swing is a dynamic,. physical movement involving many major muscle groups. Golfers and tennis erithusuia3 s should iocus on strengthening the.-mdscld4 Ir inle-owef'back, hips shoulders, and abdomen where much ol the swing rotation occurs. Powerful abdominal muscles help to improve posture and keep the torso stable throughout the movement thereby reducing the strain on the back and shoulders. Flexibility: Great flexibility helps the body to move through the entire range of motion of the golf and tennis swing with ease. A daily stretching program should incorporate the neck, back, shoulders, arms, and wrists. It is equally important to include lower body stretches, as well. Overall, improving your physical condition will not only reduce the risk of sustaining an injury, but, as many professional golfers and tennis players have'come to realize, your efforts may actually lead to improved scores.

Identity theft affects children Identity theft is not just for adults. Offenses against children are on the nrse. and a UIni\ ersiit of Florida consumer education expert says the problem can actually be worse for 'lounger victims "Manv parents don't realize that child identity theft exists. which h means the crime often goes undetected for years," said Nlri Harrison. a professor vith LiF's Institute of Food and .AAricultural Sciences. "Parents need to kno',. how. to recognize child identatt theft because early discover, can greatly[ reduce the impact on victims she said "If the crime is reported prompil\. the thief has less time to run up debt, and authoritie- hae a better chance of finding evidence" For children under IS. the number of identity theft complaints reported to the Li S Federal Trade Commission increased b\ more than half between 2003 and 2004 from about 6,4l00 cases to .Si'i At the same time, the percentage of child victimss among all identity theft cases increased from 3 to 4 percent. In some respects, identiil thieves treat personal data from children and adults the same wa,. Harrison said Most often, they use stolen information to conduct fraudulent financial transactions. though they sometimes use it to obtain government documents such as driver's licenses, or gile it to police w hen stopped or charged \with a crime. But v\ hen it comes to credit card fraud, child identity theft differs in an important respect: Thie'.es necessarily create new credit accounts for child victims, n whereas most cases of adult identity theft involve existing accounts, she said. That can make the crime worse for child t victims According to a 22003 FTC survey, victims of new account fraud spend four times as much time and almost fi'.e times as much money clearing their records compared it th victims \\ ho had onl, existing accounts accessed. victims of ne'.' account fraud are also far more likely to encounter other problems, such as denial of credit. loss of utility or phone ser. icc and criminal investigation Safeguarding a child's identity requires many of the same precaultlons parents should take for themselves but \ith a fe\i twists. Harrison said. Preschool-age children are unlikely\ to be approached bb scammers, so parents must bear the burden of protecting documents and other information. she said Parents should a oid carrying their child's Social Sccuritn card, and should complain if their child's school uses Social Security numbers to identify students. For older children, the popularity of personal computers in humes and schools creates a risk they ill be victimizedd b. Internei seams such as "phishing." Harnson said "Een bright children ho are ver\ computer-sa\ ', mas not understand the dangers of being too free %\iih their personal information." she said. Harrison recommends that parents monitor their children's Internet use. talk to their kids about identity theft and tell them what information they\ should and should not share % ith others Parents should also monitor incoming mail for children of all ages because credit card offers or e',en debt collection notices can indicate credit activity[ is taking place already. said Linda Fole' of the Identii\ Theft Resource Center, a nonprofit organization based in San Diego, Calif "Getting a credit card offtter addressed to \our child does not necessarily, mean there's a problem." Fole\ said. "If ou ha\e opened a bank account or a frequent flyer card in \our child's name. your child ma', receive ma.ss-maitings from credit affiliates. Parents should call the company\ that has the child's information to see if they're on a marketing list." Recei\ ing debt collection notices in sour child's name is a much more serious indication that \our child's information is being misused, and warrants checking the child's credit report v'. ii the three major credit reporting agencies Experian. TransUnion and Equtfa.. she said Harrison said parents should consider checking their children's credit reports every year. especially rf the. suspect their personal information has been compromised "Ordenng an annual credit report for \our child increases the likelihood you will uncover child identity theft in a timely fashion," she said. "If no credit accounts have been established in your child's name, the credit agencies wIll inform you that your child does not ha% e a credit report." A ne\w federal law will make free credit reports available to residents of Southeastern states on June 1 The lav provides for a gradual roll-out of this beneftt: \est Coast consumers \were the first to gain access. Parents who discover evidence of child identity theft should immediately report fraudulent act\ity to one of the three major credit reporting agencies and ask that a fraud alert be placed on the child's credit record, she said. Parents should also contact any creditors listed in the child's credit report and file a police report. Harrison said it is vital for parents of child victims to understand the seriousness of this cnme and take action promptly. "A person's credit score is becoming so important now not just for getting credit, but also for obtaining insurance, finding housing, and applying for jobs," she said. "ID theft can have a very far-reaching impact.'J Further resources for victims of NFCC is located off U.S. Highway 90 in Madison.

TCMS and Mr. Dyal, you are the best! Sincerely, 2004-2005 Eighth Graders Midweek Muddle A mimosa tree was a wonderful thing to own maw By SUSAN H. LINCOLN The.mimosa trees are blooming, and I am presumptuous enough.to believe that they are blooming'for me. That is because nmimosa trees provided the setting for many of my childhood memories. And just as my mother predicted the advent of a' new school year by the spider lilies which children once brought to her teacher's desk, I predicted the coming of cake and ice cream, and another birthday, because the mimosa trees were blooming. As a .hild, I decorated mud pies with the bean pods and pink powderpuff blossoms that mimosa trees produce. My culinary Sepertise goes way back. I also observed my cat's relationship with :the mimosas, as .she climbed the sprawling limbs of the three trees my father had planted in a triangular pattern, in the center of our backyard. One day, I followed that cat up the tree. Then every day, I followed that cat up .,the tree. And soon, I spent more time in those trees thanthe cat. My parents were surely wondering why in the world a. girl-child such: as I would; be so intrigued 'with a tree.. But the reasons were many. t-n the juncrudt- formed by the branching trunks, I could read a book in comfort, if I carried along my Girl Scout sit-upon for cushioning. And I did. I could make circular leis of flowers for my friends i\ith the blooms. And I did. I could throw things at the boys below. And I did. As a child, a mimosa was a wonderful thing to own. Until I fell out of the top of one. That's bad enough. What I did after the fall is worse. I had recently viewed an episode of "Mannix." You're probably too young to remember' this flashy, dark-headed detective who always got his man. In one particular episode, a character fell from a tall building and suffered from amnesia. As I laid on the ground with the world spinning around, I decided to. suffer from amnesia, too. It was summertime; the living was easy. I needed excitement. I remember wailing at the bottom of the mimosa trees, calling for Mama. (In my day, you called for Mama, not 911.) She came racing out of the kitchen with her apron and her dishtowel, fearing the worst. "You probably just got the breath knocked out of you," she said, hopefully. But I was holding my arm close, which was a true injury, and whimpering a bit. Then I vividly, and with deep regret, remember gazing blankly into the blue Alabama sky and muttering in a faraway voice, "Where am I?" and "What happened:'".....just as they had done on "Marnnix." Tius is probably the most shameful thing I ever did. I must have been really good at it, too, because the next thing I knew, I was in the back .seat of her maroon Rambler heading toward the doctor's office, at speeds exceeding the legal limit. Of course,. by that time, I was confessing -mightily that I knew where I was, ajrd where we were going, and it really wasn't necessary because I was fine and there was no reason to worry. Clearly, this was no time to bring up "Mannix." I tried again, quietly and calmly, "Hey, Mama, I'm really fine now. I did get the .breath knocked out of me, and things'were going 'round and 'round, but I know where I am' now, and I"m just fine." "We'll.let Dr. Dunklin determine that," she said. My father met us there, and I was wishing in a big .way to be struck by genuine amnesia. Dr. Dunklin must have seen that same episode of "Mannix," for he quickly ':disregarded any amnesia, and looked at the arm which was bruised, 'maybe sprained, but -was. going to be fine. Probably S55, thank, you very much. I don't remember my mother being'very jovial on the way home. I do remember being restricted from those mimosa trees while my arm healed. Soon thereafter, as I outgrew mimosas, natural .predators invaded their bark and my father handled that situation and my mother by having the mimosas chain-sawed out of our lives. I feel partly responsible and can only, say that I'm glad my father did not have me chain-sawed out of his life. I recall, again with regret, waiting for several months before confessing all the details of the sordid event. Fortunately, the God of" forgiveness smiled upon me and gave my parents more mercy,than I should have experienced. I promised never, ever for the rest of my life to feign illness, and I have kept that promise with the memorable whir of a chainsaw in the. distance. My parents' extravagant mercy should, of course, make me more merciful. But I declare, if my children ever fabricate such an illness, their only hope of redemption is for me to, indeed be struck with amnesia leaving ine no recollection of their folly. When you see a mimosa tree, you probably don't give it a second thought. But when I see a mimosa tree, I don't say, "Where am I'?" or "What happened?" For I remember all the times well, and most of them, fondly.

Baxter I I B-3 The Taco Times June 8, 2005 Letters to the Editor 'Offendeditis strikes America' Dear Editor: I found this article about a couple of new diseases that are becoming rampant across America. Our county has seen a ,few cases of this that I am aware of. Thought some folks might want to be on the look out for the symptoms: Offendeditis Strikes America! By Doug Hagin "We Americans are really blessed aren't we? We live in a country that, although it has its faults and shortcomings grants us the freedom many people across the, globe never have. Yet, despite the blessings of liberty and prosperity this nation and its citizens enjoy, there are those among us who continue to suffer from diseases like Offendeditis and Perpetual Whining Syndrome, or PWS. "These diseases generally strike the more leftward thinking among. us, although conservatives have been known on occasion to fall prey to these maladies. For those who might not be aware of these diseases allow me to explain. "Offendeditis is, it would appear, a disease that strikes its victims at birth. This, of course would explain why some people, like Jesse Jackson, act like they were born offended. Offendeditis is so severe those who suffer from it are perpetually offended. It is cr', sad. (850)386-7553 Tallahassee 1882 Capital Circle NE, Suite 103 Tallahassee, FL 32308 "Likewise, Perpetual Whining Syndrome seems to force those afflicted with it to whine and complain incessantly. Moreover, like Offendeditis, PWS strikes liberals more often than it does conservatives. "Now you might be snickering at these poor souls who are suffering the ravages of these mentally debilitating diseases. However, really, those who are always whining and live in a constant state of bruised egos and hurt feelings deserve our sympathy. Just consider how hard it must be to be always angry and bitter over some imagined offense. "This week I am going to introduce you to some of the victims of these terrible afflictions, and would ask you to try to think how lousy their lives must be to be so bitter and angered all of the time! "Take Leslie Moore, a mother and teacher in McKinney, Texas. Moore recently was stricken with a severe outbreak of Offendeditis, which developed into PWS. The reason for Moore's great offense? A sign at a pre-school where her child attends has a logo with; brace yourself now, a white child on it. Now to a person with a normal outlook on life this would just be a logo on a sign. However, to Moore, a sufferer of Offendeditis and PWS, the sign becomes far more sinister. 'It (850)875-9992 Quincy 227 E.

Before you decide, ask the lawyer to send yo free written information about their qualifications and experience. sends the wrong message,' she said. 'It's telling me that every other ethnic race other than Caucasian is inferior to the Caucasian race.' Sad isn't it? A simple sign is transformed into a symbol of white supremacy and hatred. "At Syracuse University, the Boy Scouts have bee barred from holding meetings on campus because the Scouts are said to violate an anti-discriminatory rule because the Scouts forbid openly gay scout leaders. This must be a mass outbreak of Offendeditis ravaging the minds of the administrators of Syracuse University. Certainly if they were thinking clearly, they would acknowledge that by not allowing the Scouts on campus, the university is, in fact, discriminating. Again a sad case. "In Richmond, Virginia, a local newspaper has discovered another outbreak of Offendeditis. This time the target seems to be flowers at Byran Park. Yes, that is right, flowers, azaleas to be exact, are causing sufferers of this malady to protest against the flowers. These flowers are in a bed shaped like a cross you see. And liberals suffering from Offendeditis are highly sensitive to anything even remotely resembling a cross. A local resident, who likely is an "* Please see page 5. lan Brown Cary A.

(850) 584-5513 Writer defends Healthy Start against $$ cuts Dear Editor: I am writing on behalf of the Florida Association of Healthy Start Coalitions in response to Florida's proposed changes to the Medicaid program and the effect those changes may have on the health of Florida's mothers and babies. A major aspect of the plan to improve Medicaid relies on improving the system of care and making the program more cost effective. While we applaud the intent of the plan, there are some issues that need careful attention in order to avoid further erosion of health care system in Florida. From 1999 to the present, select Florida cities have participated in a national research project to understand the reasons for the United States' poor outcomes on he number of babies that do not survive to their first birthday. S'After careful analysis, researchers ha\e concluded that a major contributing factor to prematurity (babies that are born too early.) and infant mortality (babies that die before their first birthday is due in part to the poor health status of women before the' become pregnant. Although lMedicaid is a program to serve lo\v- income families. families from all income levels in Florida and throughout the US are struggling with health care costs. The problem is not limited to the poor. In fact, health care is the source of financial crises ,for middle class Americans, contributing to half of all personal bankruptcies in 1999: Our entire medical health cace system is in crisis. Here are facts. Medicaid is a joint federal-state program that provides funding for vulnerable populations, including pregnant women, children, the, disabled and low-income elderly. Florida's Medicaid program currently covers more than 2.1 million residents. Children make up more than half of the Medicaid enrollees. The program pays for nearly half of all births in the state by providing expanded benefits to uninsured pregnant women. The Medicaid program provides an important and cost-effective source of funding care for uninsured Floridians. Nearly 1 in 5 residents under age 65 is. uninsured. Medicaid covers-about 14% of-all . Floridians. A lot of people are: potentially impacted by thep proposed changes. .... The Medicaid program is cost. effective. It has far lower administrative costs of any-private health insurance product. The ..program runs on a'5% admi;n overhead versus an average 6o 15% overhead for private insurance companies. While Medicaid represents a large proportion of the state budget,, Florida spends. significantly less per person than the national average ($4,679 vs.' $5,985 in 2002). Knowing these facts, it's- important that when we begin the reform process our policy makers .have. all,the facts. Evaluation of Medicaid current program funding, coverage and services-and the potential impact of reform efforts: on pregnant women and children- led the Florida Association"of Healthy Start Coalitions to adopt -these principles: 1. "Baby Steps" should be taken in Florida's Medicaid' Reform process. Proposed changes' should to be thoughtful, based on facts and inclusive of those who are most affected by changes. 2. Targeted cost containment strategies will be more effective than .across-the-board cuts or caps on eligibility, provider fees "or services. 3. Medicaid reforms should- maximize dollars available to pay' for services-not profits :ir: administrative overhead. 4. Medicaid reforms should' balance cuts with increased' investment in primary andi- preventive health care for Florida's' most vulnerable families. Preventative and primary heath care is less expensive and reduces the need for costly chronic, acute and long-term care ser-vices. Increased support for preventative and primary care, particularly for those who do not currently have access to this care, represents Florida most significant opportunity for controlling Medicaid costs in the future. Sincerely, Sarah Gosney President Florida Association of Healthy Start Coalitions Cure sought for PWS OFFENDEDITIS Continued from page B-3 Offendedims .citim. had this to say 'You can understand in the sensibilities of the time 40 or 50 year- ago.' saiys like Sarahan. a former attorney with the ciit of Richmond. 'But in the sensibilities of our time, in a multicultural and interfaith society, we should be more attuned" to the meaning such symbols evoke.' Again clearly. there is something \ery .wrong with this man's thinking! "Arkansas too has seen outbreaks of Offendeditis. and PWS. The disease's victims there are distressed 'that the Christian group, the Promise Keepers, is scheduled to hold a meeting in Razorback Stadium on the campus of the University of Arkansas. Why would this be upsetting to anyone? Well it seems the Promise Keepers hold offensive values to some. Melanie Dietzel, president of the local chapter of the National Organization for Women, insists that she is for freedom of speech and faith but 'not when it's something designed to hurt other people...' (the Promise' Keepers') rhetoric is certainly hurtful to people ,and I don't think that's something the university should encourage." "Now consider the Promise Keepers are a group,, which encourages men to be better husbands and fathers. How could that be hurtful or intolerant? It cannot, of course, :to anyone of sound mind. The ravages of PWS, however, apparently can strip away reason from people's minds. Considering the words of Melani&. Dietzel PWS has even made her - forget what the First Amendment Says about freedom of speech. "Back in Virginia PWS has stricken a parent- in Mechanicsville. She is offended that 400 elementary students would be allowed to attend a living history exhibit called "Dixie Days." The living history event teaches the students about the War Between the States and features hold your breath, Confederate re-enactors. Imagine that; actual history and education S"'I am appalled that the-scihool is sponsoring this trip," said Kaila Stevenson, whose fourth-grade'6on attends one of the schools. "This is something that brings up a'.ot of negative thoughts.' "She said the sponsoring organization holds racist views and ' uses the Confederate flag aiid Uniform to intimidate minorities "Once more, no ratioin.al thinking person who knoWs anything about the Sons of Confederate Veterans, who sponsor the event, would ever be delusional enough to make such a baseless claim. The group is made up of descendants of Confedefate soldiers and includes Black, Jewish. and Hispanic members:' "Yet, clearly, this poor woman's mind'is suffering from both Offendeditis as well as PWS. It is truly sad when diseases such as these cause good people to become so irritable, embittered and intolerant that they lash out at groups like the Sons of Confederate Veterans, Promise Keepers and the Boy Scouts. "It is tragic that these folks ha*e- become so angry that a flowerbed shaped like a cross causes them to become enraged and unaccepting of diverse groups and ideals. So remember the next time you cross paths within angry liberal who Is ranting about some imagined offense, it is not their fault. They are merely victims of Offendeditis and Perpetual Whining Syndrome. "I don't know if there is a cure yet, but I wish they would find one soon!"
