the organization's board of
directors.
TCSS Executive Director
Barbara Bratcher asked the
commission to release its second


and third quarter budgeted funds,
totaling $12,500, even though an
audit was not submitted for 2004.
The funds were held back by the
county after financial problems
with TCSS surfaced.
"The findings of the 2004 audit
would be very similar to the 2003
audit, so they (the auditors) didn't
feel it was in the best interest of the
organization to do an audit at this
time," Bratcher said.


"This has been a real dilemma
for the Taylor County Senior
Services," Humphries said. "Ms.
Bratcher and the staff that's in
place now are doing everything
they can to rebuild what they have
inherited."
"I would hate to see the senior
citizens suffer because of

The seat became available when
board member Shirley Titus died
April 13. lea ing the \aconc\.
"One of the seasons I \\anted the


board position," Southerland said
Tuesday, "is that.Shirley was a
great friend and I really wanted to
help keep her legacy going.
"Many years ago, when my
mother died, Shirley brought me a
book that she and my other English
teacher, Mrs. Lanier, had signed.
The book was called 'Remember
the Soul,' and I have it to this day."
Southerland said he had


considered getting into the local
political arena for "quite some
time," but that now seemed like the
most opportune time. '::

"The issues coming before the

said. "One of the things \we

had nothing to do with." he said.
Bob Powell of James Mloore &
Co., TCSS's auditing company,
as well as Janice Wise with the
Area Agency on Aging (AA-) for
North Florida also addressed the
board.
TCSS receives most of its
funding from AAA for North
Florida, a private, non-profit
organization that contracts with
the state to coordinate federal and
state programs for seniors..
In a letter sent to the
commission, prior to the meeting,
Wise said, "We began monitoring
their fiscal and administrative
performance on a monthly basis
since last April. when, after a
routine fiscal monitoring, we
I realized they were not able to pay
their bills on a timely basis and.
that the prior executive director
had paid herself leave time and
additional salary outside their
personnel policies.
"There has been a' ast
improvement :since Barbara
Bratcher has been hired as
executive director," the letter
Continued. "At our last monitoring
on May 19, we noted that all past
bills have been paid, that there
were also remaining funds to cover
the end of the month payroll. atid
that billings are being done timely
so that additional funds would be
received."
In response to a list of
procedural and managerial
problems found in the 2003 audit.
Bratcher sent a letter James Moore
& Co.. dated N1Ma 24, including
proposed changes in policy to
correct the problems found Some
of those measures include:
"The former executive director
was authorized to sign checks in
2004. The board of directors has
adopted a dual signature policy.
"Turning in cash 'was
ambiguous at best and encouraged
theft because there were no clear
cut procedures in place for
financial accountability Since
March 1, 2005. monies have been
received and deposited on a more
frequent basis.
"Policies and procedures are in
place \ hereby no loans or cash
advances will be made to
employees under an.
'circumstances. "
"There were months where
there was no record of board of
directors meetings. Board
meetings are (now) recorded
electronically and manually to
document all actions taken by
board members in all meetings."
At the commission meeting.
Humphries pointed out that AA.A
funds approximately $350,000
annually to TCSS. "We're talking
about $15,000 from the county."
"I read the packages of
information that ou provided the
board, and I'm impressed with the
measures your organization has
taken to get your affairs in order.".
Commissioner Malcolm Page
said.
Page then made a motion to
release the funds Commissioner
Pat Patterson seconded.
Commission Chairman Daryll
Gtinter said he-would support the
motion if the TCSS would
appoint HTumphries as a member
of the.:TCSS board as well' as a
second person.
..Page volunteered to be the other


member.
"Your policy is to not. release
funds without an audit."
Humnhries said. "and 1 want to be
sure \ou understand that before
you make that decision."
Commission Jack Brown asked
Powell to address the board
Powell said that his firm was
prepared to begin the 2004 audit a
month ago, but during meetings it
\\as determined that conducting the
audit was not the best course of
action.
"This is money they can save.
Pa) ing us $5,000-6.000 to issue a
report to you that is going to have
the same findings that they had,
just did not make sense." Powell
said
The 2005 audit would be
completed next February' and ready
to submit to the commission b}
March. he said.
"I wanted thai to come out."
Brown said. "I wanted the public
to understand. There will be other
times with other organizations
that will come up and we will sa\
'no. we can't release the money at
this time.' There's a \ hole lot of
difference when >ou ha\e the
auditor standing up before us."
Powell also recommended that
the TCSS provide the commission
with a cops of their 2004 Q99'
form (Federal tax form for non-
profit organizations) giving the
commission a look at the 2004
financial.
The commission then voted on
the amended motion and it passed
unanimously.
Bratcher also asked the board to
consider a request that the couni)
donate to TCSS kitchen
equipment left at the old Doctors'
Memorial Hospital buiding.
The equipment included: one
two-section gas deep fr'yer unit.
one five-section hot well unit, one
six-burner gas sto e, one
refrigerated deli station, one
condiment stand.'iray rack. one


baker sheet rack, one butcher
block table,stand, one wall pot
rack and two large refrigerator
units.
"My suggestion to the board is
we leave the equipment intact at
the hospital until we have an
opportunity to sell it," Humphries
said.
If the equipment was not an
issue with the buyer, then it could
be released to TCSS, he said.
"The Department of Elder
Affairs changed the nutritional


guidelines for seniors and he had
to hire a registered dietitian to plan
out meals." Bratcher said.
"We serve approximately -10
seniors a da\ and on Friday s we
serve around 70. We're having to
do all the cooking on the itw
pieces of equipment we hate
now."
Brown:made a motion to give
the equipment to TCSS and Page
seconded. The motion passed
unanimously.

an improvement' of morale at
Taylor County High School.

"When I was in school, I played
sports. All the kids wanted to be
involved in everything, especially
sports," he said. "I feel like if we
want a good sports program at our
high school, the board has to
support them.


"I've always used Taylor County
Middle School as a good example
of the way a school should be
run," Southerland said. "Principal
Paul Dyal is a good leader and
always has kids and parents to do
their best because they want to.,
They participate in in-school and
extracurricular programs.
"People can learn from Paul.
He's done a wonderful job, The
school has great morale and the
kids and teachers love him.
"ITm not saying I have all the

.fact, I'll probably have more
questions than anything. But I.can
say this. If someone asks me
something. I'm going to give
them the best answer I can. It may

9s,


10s both sweep to win district titles


Perry's 9-year-old and 10-year-
old all star teams both swept
through their district tournaments
last weekend in Madison and now
advance to their respective state
tournaments next month.
The 9s allowed just three runs
in three games as they defeated
Wakulla 13-2, Madison 8-1 and
Wakulla, again, in the
championship game 8-0.
The 10s defeated host Madison


6-3 on Friday, then Wakulla 9-3
and Madison again in the title
game 5-1. Details on the 10-year-
old tournament will appear in
Friday's Perry News-Herald.
Perry's 9-year-olds faced
Wakulla in the first game Friday
and recorded a 13-2 victory. Joe
Pelt started on the mound for
Perry. After taking a 12-1 lead
Pelt was relieved by Triston


10-year-old all star Gavin Lewis (above) lays down a bunt
while team mate Dylan Harty (below) hurls a pitch during
action last Friday in Madison.


Barfield for the third inning.
Daniel Wentworth came in for
Barfield in the bottom of the
.fourth inning to close the game.
Pelt faced nine batters, giving
up no hits while striking out three
and walking one. Barfield faced
three batters striking out one while
Wentworth faced six batters
giving up one hit and striking out
two. Perry was led at the plate by
Pelt who was 2 for2, followed by
Jacob Barr 2 for 3, Chance
Rodgers. 1 for 3, Wentworth 1 for
2, Grant Parker 1 for 2 and Daniel
Dudley 1 for 3.
Later in the day Perry faced host
team Madison County and posted
an 8-1 win. Wentworth pitched 5
scoreless innings scattering 4 hits
while striking out 8 batters and
walking 2.
Barfield.came in to close the
game striking out two and giving
up only one run.
Dustin Driver led the Perry
team at the plate going 2 for 3
while Pelt, Barr, Jonah Nbwberry
and Parker all added one hit each.
Tough defense, timely hitting and
strong pitching proved to be more
than Madison could handle.
On Sunday Madison faced
Wakulla in the losers' bracket
game with Wakulla coming out on
top. This set up the rematch
between Perry and Wakulla later
in the afternoon.
Pelt again took the mound for
Perry and was able to pitch a
complete game shutout allowing
only 4 hits and recording .7.
strikeouts while walking only 4
baters'in the 8-0 victory.
SPelt and Wentworth both were 2
for 4 at the plate with Rodgers,
Driver, Barr, 'Newberry, Parker
and Evan Grambling all recording
one hit each. Perry batters only
struck out 4 times during the game
and committed only one error


which again.proved to be more
than Wakulla could handle.
"The players stepped up against
two tough teams and gave 100
percent until the end. Our kids
played with confidence and made


the routine plays. When you
make the routine plays and then
add great pitching and hitting then
you can win games the way we
did this weekend," Coach Mark
Wentworth said:


Assisting with the coaching
duties were Joe Rodgers and Mark
Pelt.
The 9s travel to Jacksonville
next week for the state
tournament.

kids the same message day after
day: "Were counting on you to do
"something fantastic. Now don't
disappoint us!" The hopes, dreams
and ambitions of an entire family
sometimes rest on th shoulders of
an immature child. And in this
atmosphere of fierce competition,
the parent who produces an
intellectually gifted child is clearly
holding the winning ticket.
, Unfortunately, exceptional
children are just that -- exceptions.
-Seldom does a 5-year-old

Writers share opinions



on coal-powered plant



'Decent, good-paying jobs' anticipated


Dear Editor:
Re:,$1.4 billion plant here?
Great! Now, we're talking good
sense.
We're in dire need of "good,
clean" energy in Taylor County. It
will be good for businesses, good
for our people.


It would be a blessing to have
our children work near home.
Give them decent, good-paying
jobs with good benefits and
retirement. This is what we need.
Let's put feelers out. Cater to it,
Rope 'em in!


Don't give us a missile base,
where we will live in fear and
insecurity. We don't need a big
mess made of our Nature Coast.
Go for the better.
Thanks for listening,
Elizabeth Sadler


Litwin: Is this really a win-win decision?


Dear Editor:
SIn response to the county
commission's decision to approve
the coal fired power plant, this
concerned citizen would like to
hear about the good things this
'would bring to.the county.
One of our commissioners
talked to people on both sides of
the issue, did some research on the
internet and declared that this is a
win-win situation for the county.
SIn the Tallahassee
Democrat dated June 5, 2005, in
an. article about the coal fired
power plant, a Miss Holly Binns,
who is a clean air advocate for the
iFlorida Public Interest Research
iGroup, said, and I quote, "Coal is
ithe energy technology of the past,
'it is dirty and dangerous. I am very
Disappointed that the city is
;interested in being a part of a coal


plant. No matter what
advancements are out there,
inherently, coal is a dirty way to
get our power."
She also said medical studies
have concluded that people who
live near coal plants are at risk for
lung, brain and heart damage, and
newborns and young children are
at risk for chronic mental.and
developmental learning illnesses
from mercury exposure.
Is this what we need, more
pollution in Taylor County?
Binns did not have one positive
thing to say about a coal fired
power plant.
In the short term it will create
1500 jobs for the construction part
of the project, .but most of these
jobs. will be filled by outside
contractors who will then go on to
their next job. Long term, it will
create 150 jobs, that may or may


not be filled by people from
Taylor County.
To our county commissioners,
please give us the facts why this
is a win-win for our county. -If
this is such a win-win for our
county, why did the people of
Leon County refuse to have a coal
fired" power plant in their
backyard?
A decision that affects our
health as much as this one does,
should not be made by our county
commissioners. It should not be
made by the Jacksonville
Electrical Authority, and it should
not be made by elected officials in
Tallahassee. It should be made by
the people of Taylor County, who
will have to live with this
decision.
Sincerely yours,
Ray Litwin

downtown.
WHY ARE MAIN
STREETS IMPORTANT?
As we move into summer 2005,
we are gearing up for our first
major project--the rehabilitation of
Rosehead Station, the former train
depot on the southern perimeter of
the downtown area. Eventually,
we,hope to house offices, a local
history gallery and a visitor's
center within the structure. With
this effort, we anticipate 'the
ignition of revitalization and
preservation efforts throughout
Perry. But community
involvement is key to success.
To realize such an
accomplishment, we need to foster
sincere community interest and
commitment. And that's why we
need you! So join Main Street
Perry today. Help re-invigorate
your community and preserve its
heritage for generations to come.

Clean up your



neighborhood


By DAWN TAYLOR
Director
Keep Taylor County Beautiful
Liter and graffiti can lake its toll
on a neighborhood and invite
crime. but Keep Taylor County
Beautiful (KTCB) has a solution.
KTCB partners with community
groups that would like to "spruce
up" their neighborhoods. KTCB
can pro ide all the supplies.
including trash bags. disposable
gloves and t-shirts to let everyone
, know that oui''re helping' 6'ur
community.
All we ask in return is for the
group coordinator o' report the
number of volunteers who
participated and the amount of
S rash collected.
Participating in a neighborhood
clean-up helps instill a sense of
community pride, sends a message
to would-be offenders that crime
will not bt tolerated and-reduces
the risk of exposure to our local
%% wildlife. The elimination of illegal


dumpsites can also reduce the risk
of mosquitoes. rodents and the
threat of West Nile virus
Research has shown that one
(abandoned) tire can produce
10,000 mosquitoes, which help
spread the disease.
If you are.interested in learning
more about getting involved with
a community clean up, please call
