As consortium 'expands search':




County wants power plant
(youmPa.Diie


While 'efforts to locate, a $1.4
billion dollar power plant in North
Florida have centered on Taylor
County, the electrical 'consortium
behind the project is now
expanding its search area.
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,

area, but is not limited to Baker.

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

Since she lived just four miles
from Keaton Beach--when the
coast was untamed and sparsely
populated--trips to town were an
all-day affair.
"You'd leave around 4 a.m. and
the trip would take all day and
night. You wouldn't get home until
nine or 10 at night. They would
vwarm bricks and put them in the"
wagon to keep your feet warm
when you were leaving so early,"
recalls Milie Austin, who
celebrated her 102nd birthday on
April 25.
"Daddy mostly went and picked
up supplies, going to town with' a
mule and wagon. Perry was a'very
small place then."
Austin's Taylor County roots run
deep, trading back to her pioneer
parents and-grandparents. '
,. Her father, Albert Lynn, was a
farmer by trade, raising cattle, hogs
Sand sheep.
"He sheared the sheep and sold


the wool. I can see him penning the
sheep up, catching them and
Shearing their coats. Me'and m'i
sister were regular tomboys and.
sometimes, if he w\as standing with
us, Daddy would let us shear a little
bit."
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. Of
course we'had to work, but work is
good for you."

Austin still remembers clearly her
own grandparents-including a
grandfather who was a Confederate

SAmong the stories passed down
through her grandparents is the tale
of her great grandmother and how
Indians killed one of her children.
"They had laid the baby on the
bed, asleep, and went to supper.
Indians came in and took the baby.
They found the baby outside by a
tree, dead, with a big red apple in

license plate. Walker told me that
a temporary tag was in the rear


window, which had been tinted."

his license, he gave the officer the
name and birth date of another
person.
"I asked Walker his Social
Security.number and he said he did
iot know it. I asked him for the
height on the license and he said
he did not know it.

Tucker said Walker is taller that he
is, "and I am 5' 11" tall.
"I looked at Walker, who was
continuously placing his right
hand in his pocket and asked him
if he had anything in his
possession that I needed to be
concerned with," Tucker said. "He
said he did not."
Tucker asked Walker to empty
his pockets so he "could pat him

a medicine bottle which contained
an off-white substance, "which
appeared to be crack cocaine."

Rotary Youth Camp seeks counselors for July


Rotary Youth Camp, an
overnight camp for children with
physical disabilities, is currently
seeking counselors for its 11th


annual session.
The staff will report on July 10
and leave on July 23, with
campers attending July 13-22.


Completely free of charge for
campers, these summer sessions
provide participants with unique
activities which they otherwise
might not experience. Daily
activities include swimming, arts
and crafts, outdoor recreation and
group time together.


There is also a wide variety of
special nighttime events,
including a campout and a dance.'
The camp is offered for 35
campers, with each assigned to his
or her own counselor.
Rotary Youth Camp is held at


the Centenary Camp facilities,
about 11 miles west of Quincy.
Founded by local Rotary clubs,
the camp also receives aid from
churches and other charitable
organizations.
Since the experience is provided


free to campers and a large number
of staff is necessary, organizers are
seeking additional funding to
counter rising costs. Please,
contact Leslie Smith at (850) 383-
1559, or e-mail at

Cindy Geick, PT
These sports may be considered a
relatively low-irrpacl spor however, the
golf and tennis swing idoe- place unique
stresses on the body rh3 viren done
repetitively can lead to physical injury. 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.

In faci, ire body mechanic muscles arnd

sports Ihal require spe '.li Irarnin
The most common golf and tennis injuries
involve the back, shoulder, elbow and
wrist. 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.

physical therapy can help you improve
your game, call Cindy Geick, P.T. at 850-

I Saw You
Beyond all the sorrow and pain,
I walked down memory lane.
As the scenes before me unfolded,
I could see how your life
had been molded.
I saw you,
As a young boy behind a mule--
and a plow,
Then walking away because you
knew, Life had to be better
somewhere, somehow!
I saw you,
As an infantryman then as a
prisoner of war,
While fighting for your country,
On foreign soil!
I saw you,
As you vowed hardships your loved
ones would never feel.
Because for you this had been
very really
I saw you,
At work and at play,,
Loving your family and life with us,
Each and every dayl t
I saw you,
As your body grew tired,
And closed its eyes, gaining peace.
To sleep the sleep of sweet release
I saw you,
As I walked beyond all this sorrow
and pain
I realized that you are not really
gone, for on memory lane,
you live on!
Until we meet again,

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!"
