several bulldogs from the facility.
According to reports fried by
Taylor County Sheriffs Office Sgt
Charles Campbell. the suspect,
Jerry Edward Bailey. 26. was
questioned recently about
discrepancies in his story after he
reported a burglary of bulldogs in

The bulldogs had been placed
with county and city animal
control authorities after they were
confiscated from Victoria Denise
Williams. 32, when officers with
Perry Police Department found

malnutrition...and some showed
signs of being raised and bred for
fighting," PPD Sgt. Jamie Cruse
said.

there was no food available to
them. Most of the dogs had scars
and injuries to their heads and

State recommends reinstatement


Teacher cleared in biting incident


The Florida Di% vision of
Administrati e Hearjins has
recommended that Taylor County
teacher Natalie Whalen be
reinstated to her former position
without I oss of pay or benefits.
Whalen was suspended \ with pa\
following a Jan. 10 incident in
which she was accused of biting a
student.
According to a statement issued
by Harry L. Hooper. adminisratii\e
la\\ judge with the Division of
Administrative H-earings a female


student in Natalie Whalen's class
brought a CD player to class
Whalen disco\ ered and confiscated
it.
"Dr. Whalen took possession of
the CD player because school rules
forbid students to have CD plasrs
in class. Whalen put it in a drawer
by her desk
"The student later approached
Whalen's desk. moving behind
Whalen and reached for the drawer
containing the CD player in an
effort to retrieve it," Hooper said.


When Whalen asked her what
she was doing, the student said she
was getting her CD player and
cursed her.
SThe child continued to attempt to
get the player, opening the drawer
and grasping the headset.
"Whalen attempted to close the
drawer, and the child reacted
violently and this surprised
Whalen. The student attempted to
strike Whalen, who reared back to
avoid the blow and then put her
arm around the child.
"When the child pulled away,
this caused'Whalen to fall from her
wheelchair on top of the child's
back., -


"The student bit Whalen several
times, breaking her skin in three
places," Hooper added.
During the next few minutes, it
took several teachers, aides,,and
the assistant principal to "safely
restrain" the child. Afterwards, the
student said, "Whalen had bitten
her."
Two red marks between her
shoulder blades were found during
an examination of the child at the
school health clinic.
"Whalen said the marks must
have been made by her chin or her
teeth may have contacted the

The county commission voted
last week to create a new coastal
management committee to help
oversee issues concerning the
coastline of Taylor County.
The action' came' after
Commissioner Clay Bethea asked
the board to consider a special
legislative act from 1969 that gave
the commission the option to
create a port authority for the
county.
A similar act in 1959 created the
Taylor County Development
Authority.
"There's a plethora of issues
down there," Bethea said. "I think
the coastline is a big enough issue
to have someone out there looking
just at that."
The act begins, "There is created


for and in Taylor County at Perry a
body corporate with the usual
corporate powers to sue and be
sued and with additional powers
specified herein to be known as the
Taylor County Port Authority."
The authority would consist of
five members appointed by the
commission to serve four year
terms.
Such an authority would have
rights and duties that could
include: acquiring lands and water
rights and improving such lands in
any form "which promotes or will
have a tendency to promote the
public good of the community;"
operating a commercial port for
vessels for the express purpose of

child's back. She said that she had
forced her chin in the child's back
in an effort to stop the child from
biting her," Hooper said.


During this time, several
witnesses at the scene all agreed
that the marks looked like bite
marks.
"The child told her mother the
day after the incident, that she had
been bitten by a boy on the
playground of Taylor Elementary
School.


"Another student was the only
non-participant close to the actual
combat who was a neutral
observer. He did not see Whalen
bite the child, but did see her chin
contact the child's back and he
heard Whalen say words to the
effect of, 'I am going to make you
say ouch.'"


Juvenile identified 'pizza man'


EMPLOYEE
Continued from page 1

Williams was arrested and
charged with cruelty to animals,
training animals for fighting,
possessing or owning equipment
in animal baiting--all felonies and.
another misdemeanor charge of
cruelty to animals.
Several daNs later. Campbell and
TCSO Dep. Rusty Davis were
dispatched to animal control about
a burglary in progress. Campbell
took several statements from
Bailey, but said later they "just
didn't make sense."
While investigating the
burglary, Campbell discovered that
a Master Lock had been cut and.
the gate pushed down, and seven
bulldogs taken.
Two weeks later, two juveniles
were arrested after officers
witnessed them fighting dogs on
Magnolia Road. The dogs were
confiscated and again taken to city
and county animal control.
County Animal Officer Carrie
Tucker met Campbell at the city
animal compound, where she
identified three of the four dogs as
some of those stolen from the
county's animal compound.
When the juveniles were
interviewed, Campbell told them
"that they could be facing more


charges for having stolen dogs in,
their possession and that they
needed to tell me where the dogs
came from.
"After a while, (one of the
juveniles) told me it's the'pizza
man, that drives the red Blazer,"
Campbell added. "I knew this to
be Jerry Bailey; he works part-
time as a pizza delivery man.
"I asked them how they met
with Bailey and one of them told
me that Bailey came to him
asking him if he wanted some
good dogs.
"I then made. contact with
Bailey," Campbell said. "I told
him I needed to clear up some
things he had told me, the original
night of the theft.
"I asked him about saying he
was between two patrol cars
shining a light that night, and he
said he did not say that. He told
me that he said he was standing in
his driveway shining the light up
in the air.
"I reminded him that he said this
in front of three other people,"
Campbell said.
"I said that he told me he saw
the dogs running around the
compound. He told me that was
not what he said, that he said he
saw two of the dogs in his yard.. I
then asked him how could the


dogs leave the compound without
leaving any tracks in the dirt
which is around the compound and
he said he did not" know,"
Campbell said.
"I then told him that he took the
dogs out of the compound on the
'shelter's leashes, onto the
sidewalk. He got mad at this point
and said that all these people were
lying and that he worked 'there and
had not stolen anything."
A probable cause affidavit was
sent to the State Attorney's Office
for the arrest of Bailey, according
to Campbell. A warrant was
handed down, and Bailey "was
arrested for dealing in stolen
property, with the additional
charge of felony tempering with
evidence.


bid committee recommendations
regarding forthcoming projects.
They accepted AJT &
Associates, Inc. to install a
AWOS III at the airport. AJT was
one of three firms who bid for the
project, and its $171,143 bid was
the lowest.
The AWOS, (Automated
Weather Observation System) can
be dialed-up by pilots allowing
them to receive real-time weather
updates at the airport. The existing
AWOS is not operable.
According to the bid committee,
AJT has installed communications


in my favor'


Whalen denied biting the child.
She stated at the time of the event,
and under oath at the hearing, that.
she forcibly contacted the child's
back with her chin. She stated that
it was possible that in the heat of
the struggle her teeth may have
contacted the child's back.
"The opinion of the school
personnel as to the origin of the
marks upon the child's back is
entitled to great weight," 'said
Hooper. "On-the other hand, a
study of the photographs exposed
immediately after the incident,
reveals no. teeth marks and no
broken skin.
"The marks are consistent with
pressing one's chin upon another's
back or pressing one's teeth in
one's back. In the latter case,
whether the child was bitten, may
be a matter of definition.".
According to Hooper, statutes
provide, thaL.."an employee ,may'y
use such force as i' demif ""
reasonable in protection from
Santacks. Whalen's reaction to the
child's assault was reasonable.
Under the circumstances, Whalen
Used remarkable restraint.'
Superintendent of Schools Oscar
Howard Jr. said Tuesday that he'
w. would not make a recommendation
until a legal meeting could be held
with school board members and


the board attorney, just before the
Tuesday night board meeting.
In a statement issued last week,
Whalen said, "I wish to thank all
my friends' and co-workers who
have stood by me during the past
six months after being charged
with'biting a student. I have been
reinstated back into my teaching
career as of Friday, June 17 and
will be back to work starting Aug.
.1.
"The judge has ruled in my
favor and for this, I am extremely
happy. There are so many people
who have prayed with me, who
have given me positive messages
to 'hang in there,' and have
supported me through this terrible
ordeal.
"I could never have made it
without the help of all my friends
and for this and many other
reasons, I thank you all."


systems at Kissimmee Airport,
Manhattan Regional Airport and
Cheyenne, Wyo., Regional
Airport among Others. They also
designed and constructed the air
traffic control tower at Kennedy
Space Center.

The commission also accepted
Slone Associates, Inc. as
contractor for the design and
construction of t-hangars at the
airport. Slone, the only firm to
reply, bid $287,250.

Slone, which was also chosen
by the commission to work on
Phase 1 construction at the Taylor
County Sports Complex, has
worked at St. Augustine/St. Johns
Airport, Detroit Metropolitan
Airport, O'Hare International and
Jacksonville International. They
are currently finishing up t-hangar
construction in Suwannee County.

According to Cox, the county is
applying for a grant from the
Federal Aviation Agency (FAA)
for the amount of the AWOS
contract, in additional to
administrative services and a
"design-only" fee of $30,000 for
the t-hangars. The total is
$208,715. The FAA will pay 95
.percent of the cost, while the
Florida Department of
Transportation and the county will
each pay two and one-half percent.
The county's portion will be
$5,217.

A letter accompanying the grant
application said, regarding the t-
hangars, "The project may result
in only site work and paving
being accomplished during fiscal
year 2006 and the sponsor may
request fiscal year 2007 dollars to
construct the actual t-hangars."

Malcolm Page said. "However, I
don't think we need to piggyback
onto this legislation."
"This may be something we can
do by county ordinance," he said.
SBethea amended his motion to:


create a coastal management,
committee, develop bylaws for it
and allocate $5,000 in funding in
the next fiscal year's budget.
The new committee will not be

a Three teams still alive


!l 3 teams bow out of all-star play


Three of Perry's all-star teams
bowed out of postseason play this
past weekend while three other
squads remain alive as this week
finds a lull in the action.
Perry's 12-year-olds battled
through the losers' bracket to face
Wakulla in the district
championship game Saturday in
Monticello only to come up on the


short end of a 4-3 decision in extra
innings.
Perry defeated Wakulla earlier
in the day 6-3 to reach the title
game.
Perry's 9-year-old team, fresh
off a district title, fought through
two contests before being
eliminated in the state tournament
in Jacksonville.


The 9s fell 13-0 to Mandarin,
then 8-3 to Lake City after leading
much of the contest.
Perry's district champion 10-
year-old team dropped its first
game to San Jose 6-1 in the state
tourney in Jacksonville. The local
team then faced Julianton Creek in
an elimination game but came up
short, 9-4.


Perry's 13-year-olds .get an
automatic spot in their state
tournament due to hosting the
event here July 14-19.
The district champion 15-under
team will travel to Jacksonville
July 14-19 for their state tourney
while the 17-under squad will play
in that state tourney beginning
July 7 in Madison.


Deer-dog rule is expanded statewide

7,481 acres in San Pedro

WMA is now still-hunting


'The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC)
recently wrapped up a, three-day
meeting in Daytona Beach.
At the meeting the FWC
adopted a rule change to establish
a still-hunt area on a 7,481-acre
Portion of the San Pedro Bay
-". Witdlif Management Area
S\\ NL- which is currently hunted
with deer-dogs. Also, after
reviewing findings from
workshops on a proposal to
launch a statewide deer-dog
registration program,
Commissioners adopted a rule to
establish the program. The
registration program is patterned
after a pilot program the FWC
implemented in northwest Florida
last year.
The Commission agreed to
support a reduction in the red
grouper recreational bag limit to
one fish daily per person provided
NMFS proposes a rule to
establish the limit. However,
Commissioners said they oppose
temporary closure ,of the
recreational grouper fishery.

The Commission reviewed
, proposed season dates and bag
limits for early season migratory
bird hunting.


The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC)
voted recently to expand statewide,
a registration program for deer-dog
hunting on private lands for the
2005-06 hunting season. The
decision was based on the overall
success of a.pilot program adopted
last hunting season in the
Northwest Region in lieu of more
restrictive measures.
According to a report presented
by Lt. Col. Mike Wiwi, deputy
director of the Division of Law
Enforcement, the additional time
and costs associated with
administering this program across
the state will be minimal and
manageable for current FWC staff.
. and budget.
Wiwi said 70 individual
properties, representing 55 deer-
dog hunt clubs, participated in the
pilot program. Those properties
ranged from 40 to 31,000 acres
and were situated in 14 of the 16
counties within the Northwest
Region.
With the pilot program in place,
complaints dropped 27 percent,

More importantly, only five

In comparison,,a review of last
season's complaint data for the
North Central and Northeast
regions, where registration was
not required, showed an increase in
deer-dog hunting complaints from

hunting seasons.

concerns with the program or
process. Almost half the
participants responded, and all said
the process of completing the
application, registering and
complying with the new
requirements was easy or very
easy. Nearly 90 percent said they
experienced no problems with
affixing their assigned
identification numbers to their
dogs' collars, and almost 70
percent thought the, new
registration was a valuable tool for
helping manage deer-dog hunting
on private lands.
During May, the FWC
conducted six public meetings
across the state to make certain
hunters and other interested


groups:
*were fully aware of the
proposal for statewide registration,
*had the opportunity to ask
questions to better understand the
specifics of the proposal, and
*could provide comments.
These meetings helped clarify
some common misunderstandings
about the proposal and fostered
broader support from hunters and
other stakeholders, Wiwi said.
This new statewide registration
program will require no-cost
registration for anyone using dogs
to hunt or pursue deer on private
lands in Florida during the deer-
dog training season and during any
open.deer-hunting season when
taking deer with dogs is permitted.

Howell presides at prayer retreat


By B.D. WILLIAMS
The Record Book
If all the things you ever said,
were written down in a book; and
all your thoughts were on display,
so all could take a look;
I guess there's not a living soul,
who wouldn't hang his head, and
feel ashamed before the Lord and
wish that he were dead.
There is a record book I'm told,
with every deed and word; it even
keeps the records of our thoughts
that couldn't be heard.
The good, the bad and every sin,
-for nothing has been missed; it
really makes me feel ashamed to
think what's on my list.
And yet the pages of my past
shall never condemn me; for Jesus


nailed them to His cross, one day
on Calvary.
And now I stand in Him
Complete, redeemed from sin and
:strife, and with His blood He wrote
;: my name down in the book of life.
SIt was an enjoyable occasion at
:,,First Bethlehem Student Center in
STallahassee Saturday for everyone
. who attended the 15th 'annual
.:Prayer Retreat presented by the
,Women's Department of First

Simpson earns degree


from Hawaii University


Protect


yourself


with 5 D's


Florida Department of Health
iDOH) officials are emphasizing
the importance of Florida's
residents and visitors protecting
themselves against mosquito-
borne diseases.
Throughout the year, DOH
works with partner agencies,
including the. Florida Department
of Agriculture and Consumer
Services, the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Commission, mosquito
control agencies and state
universities, to monitor for the
presence of mosquitoes carrying
illnesses.
"During'the summer months,
Florida experiences an increase in
its mosquito populations," said
DOH Secretary John 0.
Agwunobi, M.D., M.B.A.,
M.P.H. "Mosquito-bore illne lsses
are entirely preventable by taking
a few simple steps to avoid
mosquito bites."
Symptoms of West Nile (WN)
virus, St. Louis Encephalitis
(SLE), and Eastern Equine
Encephalitis, (EEE) may include
headache, fever, fatigue, dizziness,
weakness and confusion.
Physicians should contact their
county health department if they
suspect an individual may have a
mosquito-borne illness. DOH
laboratories provide testing
services for physicians treating
patients with clinical signs of
mosquito-borne disease.

Federal law prohibits
harassment by collection agencies
or attorneys. For example, they
may not contact you at
unreasonable hours: before 8 a.m.
or after 9 p.m., unless you give
your permission. They also may
not use obscene or profane
language or call you constantly to
annoy you.
Consumers being harassed by
debt collectors should:
--Head off harassment before it
starts.
When financial setbacks prevent
you from paying all of your bills,


open pages in Spanish that give a
brief description of the college and
admissions procedures. Equally
important, the pages include
contact information for those on
campus who can offer assistance
in Spanish.
Margaret Wilkerson, informa-

Stop being

harassed


by creditors

call the creditor and explain your
situation. Explain that you have
to pay the landlord and utilities
first, and that you will pay your
other bills when you can. Don't
over promise: it's better to be
realistic about your prospects for
paying. By contacting the creditor
first, you may avoid having the
debt turned over to a collection
agency, which will usually be less
flexible than the creditor in
working out a payment plan.
--Write a cease letter.
If explaining the situation
doesn't stop collection efforts, the
simplest way to stop contacts is
to write the collector a cease letter.

Letters to the Editor


'Believe nothing without confirmation'


Dear Editor:
In aieft'f*PFiblTs'ied c:tith ",
newspaper 'on June ', IT wrote that
it is easy to be against something
but, unless some valid alternative
is suggested, mere protests are
meaningless. I did not take a stand
for or against the proposal to build
a power generating plant here, but .
two other letters on that subject in
the same issue made my point
about meaningless protests.
One person wrote that "...we
have been 'brainwashed'...we have
been told lies" regarding the power
plant. She had "learned" that it
"...will pollute the whole area" and
"...will cause much illness and
even deaths." I have to ask: How
does she know that the person who
told her that she had been lied to
- -wasn't lying? Did that source offer
any factual evidence of its claims?

How many Miss Daisy's

must one man drive?


As luck would have it, the husband
ended up as the chauffeur for not one,
not two, not three, but four women on a
busy Saturday night in downtown
Austin, Texas, where newspaper friends
had gathered for an annual convention.
The confusion presented by six lanes
of traffic was compounded by a healthy
pedestrian population, police officers
on bicycles, and street vendors hawking
tortillas and frozen drinks.
It was nothing, however, compared to.
the confusion within the car.
Seeing friends just once a year--or
maybe twice--makes for convoluted
conversation, at best, as you try to piece
together what was new last year with
what is current this year.
"So is Amanda dating the same boy?" I
asked, knowing that this particular
young man was a major blip on the
radar at last year's get-together.
"Oh yes," said the mother with raised
eyebrows and careful composure.
"He's the punter, right?" the husband
asked, trying to remember the blip.
And then he added for the rest of us,
"He had the best punting record in the
nation for all college punters last year."
The reaction was an animated chorus
of "wowwww,"'and "oh realllllly?" and
even an, "Is that soooo?"
"He's in New York now, trying out for
the Buffalo Bills," the mother said.
"He's a free agent," the husband
interjected. /
"Ohhhh, wowwwww, I seeeeee," the
women chorus sang again.
"I wonder how far he's had to kick it
through the goal posts," said one
woman in the back seat, clutching her
purse as women will do.
The husband paused,' wondering
whether to be polite or strive for'
accuracy, and then he jumped in.
"No," he said, trying to re-arrange our
thinking. "He punts--he doesn't do field
goals or extra points. His specialty is
punting."
"So his objective," I explained, "is to
kick it as close to the zero line as he
can, without getting it over the line."
The husband nearly came to a
complete stop on the Texas Freeway.
As the lights from highway signs pulsed
off and on like a strobe, separating the
darkness from the light, he cocked his
head and repeated, "The zero line?
Where in the world have you heard it"
called the zero line?" -
I knew I had let him down and,.
granted, the "zero line" didn't sound
right to me, either. "But that's what it is,
isn't it?" I asked him. "If you count in a
descending order from 10, it is the zero
line--the one over which you score.".
The back seat was consumed with
laughter...friendly laughter. We had
laughed this way through meetings and
malls, through beef tenderloin and tex-
mex enchilados.


By SUSAN H. LINCOLN

He put on his blinker.while shaking
his head.
"Most folks call it the goal line," he
said.
And they all chimed in. "That's right--
the -goal- line." More laughter. More
oohing and aching. I knew the husband
was in Female Purgatory and would
rather be chained to the tampon aisle at
a department store.
"Well, I'll bet he has one lice leg," said
Sthe friend clutching her purse.
I tried not to laugh, but I couldn't help
myself. It was like a middle age spend-
the-night party.
"I'll bet he has two," said I, wondering
how effective a kicker would be with
just one.
Well, it didn't take much.with this
group., They were doubled over with
laughter, and patting the husband in a
friendly way, hoping he was enjoying
the ride as much as they were.
I don't know why I said that," said the
woman with the purse. Even in the
dark, I could see her blush.
"Are you still thinking about her
daughter's boyfriend's legs?" I had to
ask, and the back seat was out of
control.
After moments dedicated to regaining
composure, another rider asked, "Well,
what happens if he does kick it over the
zero?"
The husband was going deeper into
hell, as the speedometer on the rental
car kept time.
"It's not the zero," he said. "It's the
goal line," and that was no reason to
laugh hysterically, but these women
didn't need a reason. They laughed
hysterically and loved him for driving
them around, for putting up with their
nonsense in a jovial manner.
"If he does kick it over the goal, it
comes back out to the 20-yard-line," the
husband said, trying to keep a straight
face and surely wondering how much
further, before he could punt.
The chorus began again. "That's right,"
they said in unison, having recalled that.
detail from 50 previous football seasons
where they ,stared at the t.v. and
wondered how the majorettes stayed so
slim.
"Oh, this is so much fun," said one to,
the others, shifting her purse and
pulling down her skirt.
SAnd just when she was enjoying
herself the most, the artistically lighted
lodge appeared on the horizon at Lake
Tra\is, rising like a Phoenix to welcome
the: husband, from the ashes of his
crumbled world. Here,.where deer horns
formed the chandeliers, there would be
men who knew about pitching and
politics; about printing presses and
prime rib.
And punting .
He was at the zero line, having driven
four Miss Daisy's well.
