Perry Police Department Pil. Dwight Norris stated he observed an older model Ford pick-up traveling north on U. S. Hw\. 19. with no tag lights. When Norris conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle, the driver. Max Perez, 25. presented a Florida identification card. While talking with Perez. Norris learned that his driver's license was suspended for prior DUIs. "Perez's eyes were bloodshot," said Norris. "and he had an odor of alcohol coming from him." Norris said he handcuffed Perez hands behind his back) and placed him into the rear of his patrol unit. "I then read Perez his implied consent and he stated that he \would take a breath test." Norris said. While in the rear of the vehicle. Perez shifted his legs so that his hands \ere in front of him. On seeing the change. Norris said, "I told Perez that I hadn't put them on in the front and he then put his legs back through the cuffs." Norris then called PPD Pil. Robert Johns to assist in taking an in entorv of Perez's car Johns said as he and Norris were buss with Perez's car. Norris's patrol car took off heading north on Hw% y. 19. "I then ran to my patrol car and began to give chase. Perez had slipped through the cage door and gotten into the front seat and took off with Norris's patrol vehicle." Johns added. Perez then began a series of turns, accelerating to high rates of speed in between. "When Perez made a left turn onto Wilder Street, he was going too fast. causing him to run off the road and into a resident's \ard, striking a guide wire, a wooden fence and a tree stump. causing a puncture in the patrol car's radiator." said Johns. "He then got back onto Wilder Street. made a right turn onto Lafayelte Street and pulled o\er and exited the vehicle, running on fool," he added.

According to Grants Coordinator Melody Cox, most of these grants have come at little or no cost to the county. Perry-Foley Airport saw its apron resurfaced earlier this year. and construction is set to begin soon on a new terminal as well as an AWOS-1ll. Cox said she expects construction on the terminal to be complete by April 2006. The new building %will be constructed to withstand and remain operational during Category 5 hurricane winds; it will be the only such building in the county. The terminal will include a conference facility for up to 50 people with a kitchen and wet bar. The project is funded by a $350.000 grant from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) A. iation Di' vision. The AWOS-II (Automated Weather Observation System) will allow pilots to receive real-time weather updates at the airport. "This is state-of-the-art technology." Cox said. She expects construction to begin in the next six to eight weeks on the AWOS. The county has been awarded a design-only grant for a series of T- hangars. which will have spaces to rent for airplane storage. Hodges Park at Keaton. Beach will also see improvements in the coming months with the help of a $150.000 Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP) grant. The project will include a playground for children ages 2-12, two upraised pavilions, parking upgrades, restroom improvements Smoke signals It wasn't how they planned to end their first day back to school, but students on School Bus #38 had a few scary moments'when smoke began pouring outfrom under the left rear tire of the bus.

In the Please see page 2 : application, she is requesting Of drowning victim TCSOI dive team j assists in recover The Taylor County Dive Team assisted in the search for a possible: drowning victim in the Suwannee River last Wednesday, joining several other county and state agencies. On Wednesday, Aug. 3, Suwannee County Sheriff Tony Cameron called Taylor County Sheriff L. E. "Bummy" Williams, requesting assistance from the TCSO dive team at Telford Springs to help search for a four-year' old boy who had fallen into the Suwannee River and-could not be found. According to a report by SCSO, the victim, Trayvon Lee EbankSlBurns was last seen in the area of a rope swing near the springs, and was not able to swim. The brother of the victim told officers he saw Trayvon go into the water and was attempting to swim as he was going downstream from the swing. The witness also said he saw Trayvon go underwater. TCSO Lt. Audie Towles said the call for help came shortly after 9 p.m. "Sheriff Williams called me at home, after getting a call for help from Suwannee County," he said. "I called members of the dive team, but sent Dep. Buddy Lee ahead of us to gather the information we would need for the search. "When we arrived, acting upon witness statements, we initiated a search patterif where we thought the victim would possibly be," said Towles,. "We'searched for two hours. It was very hard work, due to the terrain. The bottom dropped off to about 25 feet and was full of trees and roots," he said. "We had about 18 to 20 inches visibility with our lights." ,- Please see page 2 I - I A-2 The Taco Times August 10, 2005 'No Wake' for Econfina? Two bird racks near the mouth of the Econfina River sustained major damaged due to Hurricane Dennis. The navigational light at the mouth of the river was also knocked down, according to reports. The pictures above were taken shortly after the hurricane struck the Gulf coast some 150 miles west of here. Boaters may soon. find themselves driving slower along the Econfina River after the county commission voted last week to draft an ordinance extending the "no wake" zone near the mouth of the river. Commissioner Malcolm Page began the discussion, saying that he had received a number of calls about near-miss accidents and bank erosion. "I don't like rules and I don't like regulations, but sometime we've got to have them," Econfina resident Charles Mincey said. "We have a problem on the Econfina, and we've had it for a long time." He cited an accident over the July 4 weekend, which injured two and severely damagedtwo boats. The other problem facing residents is bank erosion due to the wake caused by boats, he said. "We're getting bigger boats, faster boats;" Minc. said. "The problem is not going to stop until we find a way to slow them down." Page made a motion to draft an ordinance extending the no wake zone and advertise it for a public hearing. The proposed location for the extended zone is from the concrete bridge to roughly three- quarters of a mile from the mouth of the river. Commissioner Jack Brown seconded the motion. "If you remember the last time \we did this, it's a complicated issue." Brown said. He suggested County Administrator Buddy Humphries contact the state to begin the process. "I don't think we'll have the same problems as we had at Steinhatchee," County Attorney Conrad Bishop said. That time the county faced dual-jurisdiction with Dixie County, he said. Bishop cited a letter sent to then Commission Chairman Frank Russell from the state, which said the commission has the authority, to set no wake zones in the county. The measure passed unanimously. "There's room there for speed, but there's not room for two boats meeting at high speed," Jimmy Sauls, another resident, said. Mincy also told the commission that two bird racks near the Econfina had been damaged by Hurricane Dennis. "One is on its side and the other one is even worse," Mincy said. He also told the commission the navigational light at the mouth of the river was down. Grants continue for Hampton Springs GRANTS Continued from page 1 preservation, of the existing historical structures. The county recently received a $26,000 grant from the Bureau of Historic Preservation for Phase IV of restoration efforts there, which will fund excavations of the old tennis courts, dance theater. horse stalls, farming area and barn. , In addition, the couniv is narrowing down the list of prospective contractors for an .equestrian trail park with horse facilities, a man-made lake, restrooms and camping facilities. The park is funded by a S350,000t Grantt, Cox also said that she had just been notified that a FDOT grant has been approved \which will fund a path connecting Hampton, Springs to the Taylor Greenwa\s project. Phase 1 of the Taylor Greenways will begin at Heritage Park in Perry and continue to the Sports Complex. The Hampton Springs path will connect at Ash Street and follow Highway 98 to the park. Phase 1 construction should begin within three to four months, Cox said. Body found at 2:10 a.m. DIVE TEAM Continued from page 1 After the two-hour search, the team decided to call it off until daylight the next morning. At approximately 2:10 a.m., the boy's body was found by other searchers, approximately 100 yards down the river, caught in tree limbs on the surface of the river. There were no isible signs of injuries on the body and no foul play is suspected. Members of the TCSO Dive Team who participated in'the search include Towles, Sgt. Buddy Lee, Dep. Mark Hershberger and Perry Police Department Sgt. Jamie Cruse. "This was a terrible thing." said Towles. "The boy was just four years old. I cannot say enough to parents of children who are near water to keep an eye on them." he said. "And not just children--adults drown every day. Water safety is very important and should always be at the top of your list when you are in or on the water," he said. "This little boy could hot swim, and now, he will never get the chance the learn," Towles added. Ba~oc.8 COv BHadcock&more HOME FURNITURA.moE 1003 S.

Man jailed for allegedly shooting at two minors A Perry man is being held at the Taylor County Jail, after law enforcement officers say he fired a shotgun, loaded with birdshot, at two minors who were riding a dirt bike in front of his Beach Road home, striking them both with a combined 16 pellets. According to a report filed by Taylor County Sheriff's Office Deputy' Jay Ricketson, two youths, ages 5 and 17, were at Doctors' Memorial Hospital, recently, who- had been shot, possibly by a BB gun Ricketson said he saw several puncture wounds in both victims' legs. When asked what had happened, one of the youths told Ricketson that they "were riding a dirt bike along the Beach Road in the ditch, near an oak tree in front of Dulin's house. "I heard what I thought was a backfire from my bike, but I '--looked down and. saw my leg was bleeding and my friend's leg was . also bleeding. I knew that'we had been shot," said 'one of the victims. " .Whenofficers arrived at Dulin's Some, he told them he had no idea - what the\ were talking about., : H "He did, ho'we\er, say that he had shot a dog a couple of days before which had relieved itself in his yard," said Ricketson. "I then asked Dulin if he had any weapons in his home, and he said he had a 20-gauge shotgun by the front door. which was located and secured," added Ricketson..

The county commission held its final budget workshop Tuesday, Aug. 2, and after overcoming a last minute hiccup in the plans, the budget is ready for public hearings next month. At previous meetings, the commission had removed second- home exemptions from garbage fees to help offset a deficit in the MSTU fund. The exemptions must be paid for from the fund. The MSTU fund is for county services such as fire and animal control which are duplicated by city services, and can only be funded by a separate tax on Visit Florida Visit Florida, on behalf of the Florida Commission on Tourism, has awarded an advertising' .matching grant to the Perry/Taylor County, Chamber of Commerce and tourism development.office for Workshop set .on sales tax *The .Taylor Count' 'Small Business Outreach Center is hosting a sales tax workshop Thursday, Aug. 11, at 6:30 p.m. .Richard Gould, compliance enforcement tax specialist with the Department of Revenue, will facilitate the meeting. The workshop'will be held at the Perr\ Ta\ lor Count' Chamber Sof Commerce; there is no cost-to attend, compliments of the outreach center. For more information, contact, the chamber at 584-5366. citizens in the unincorporated area of the county. At the onset of the meeting, the commission was told by County Finance Director Tammy Taylor that the exemptions are part of an ordinance and cannot be removed without amending the ordinance, which would require a public hearing. This left the commission with a $66,832 deficit in the MSTU 'fund. The commission decided to use the MSTU capital outlay reserve, currently at $225,000, to balance the fund. The money in the reserve had been designated at the 2005-06 fiscal year, which began July.1. The commission is a private/public partnership responsible for marketing Florida as a visitor destination, Chamber Executive Director Dawn Taylor said. The announcement of the $2,500 grant, came during the commission's meeting in St. Augustine last month. ""The purpose of the these grants is to help local governments and non-profit entities do more effective tourism marketing. We are pleased that Visit Florida and the Florida Commission on Tourism selected us from among a large number of grant applicants," Taylor said. "These funds will be used for the printing of a fly fishing brochure and will help us better position Taylor County as a desirable destination to do so." previous meetings for a fire tanker truck for Steinhatchee and the beaches area. County Fire Cheif Steve Miller said the tanker could be purchased on a lease-to-own plan. Once an order is placed, it takes approximately eight months for the tanker to arrive. Once the MSTU fund was re- balanced, the millage rates were set at previous levels, the general fund millage at 8.076 and MSTU at 1,276. The next step for the budget is two public hearings scheduled for. Sept. 12 and 19. Max Perez Seen Perez?

It is entirely, possible to have a damaged, old, or faded photo restored to mint (or near mint condition) by someone that can do digital enhancements. The whole process consists of scanning the paper photo into a digital medium Son a computer. Then the photo is manipulated and edited on the computer and after the enhancements'have been made, itis reprinted. Unfortunately, this isn't something just anybody can do. In fact,, it's not even something I know how to do but it is something that can be'learned. You'll need a program similar to either PhotoShop or PhotoStudio to begin with and the process for learning the intricacies of. both of those programs can be difficult. My personal recommendation is to take it to a professional and have them do it. You'll save yourself a lot of time and money by-doing so. In the local area, the only two places that I know of that can do. photo restorations are PennyLane Restoring your favorite old photographs Computers and Amanda Clark's Photography Studio. Of course, there maybe others but I know, for a fact, that these two companies provide that service. If you've got a photo that's old or damaged and is very dear to you-- like a veteran's service photo or a childhood memory-- it's definitely something worth looking into.

Scraps of brightly colored, patterned fabric, eight-inch zippers, Velcro, large buttons and wooden shapes in three-inch sizes to attach to the aprons are also needed. "The aprons are comforting to Alzheimer's patients when they feel restless. The repetitive motion of moving zippers, Velcro and buttons has a soothing effect. Once the material is collected, a sewing party will be held for interested volunteers who would like to help make the aprons," said Sandi Huster, Covenant Hospice director of volunteer programs.

Former U.S. Secret Service trainer Raymond Rhienhart led the teams through the June 20-24 certification course in tracking and detection. According to Bailey, the detection course consisted of five vehicles set up with two deer hides hidden in two of the vehicles and three rooms with two hides hidden in two of the rooms. The requirement was to find at least three of the four hides. For the tracking portion of the certification, three tracks were laid out with an article hidden on each track and an article to be found by the dogs at the end of the track. The tracks are "aged" for 30 minutes before the dogs begin working. "Buddy located all the articles on the tracking course. I think he got a perfect score," Bailey said. "This was the Police Dog 1 course and we were certified: However, since we scored at least 165 on this course, we were able to go to the next level, the, Tracking Exceptional course which is set aside for the more experienced teams .. the advanced trackers," Bailey explained. "We had five FWC K-9 teams complete the Tracking Exceptional course," Bailey said. "This is the first time since 1993 where an FWC dog has completed the Tracking Exceptional course. The last time was when I worked Wise Guy through it. Now we have five teams who have completed it. That's quite an(accomplishment." The four othdr teams that proved exceptional in the course were Jeff Gier and K-9 Bubba, Avery Tubbs and K-9 Jack, Tim Miller and K-9 Jake, and Wayne Hargabus and K- 9 Madison. "Buddy is certified in tracking and the detection of deer and turkey meat. He's also trained in area searches, and search and'rescue missions," Bailey explained. The FWC K-9s do not receive: aggression training. "When we're called out, we don't know what we'll be doing. It's different every time. It all depends on the case," he said., According to Lt. Bruce Cooper, 'Bailey's supervisor, "From a patrol supervisor's standpoint, it's, an enormous asset to hate such an exceptional K-9 team working for you. On numerous occasions, we hate had people give up rather than attempt to flee. knowing we had Officer Bailey and Buddy available to conduct a search." Bailey said. "-.About six months ago. a gas station in Perry was robbed. We were called out to see if \e could track the subject. Buddy tracked him all the way down the shoulder of Highwa\ 19 into a neighborhood. That dog \went through about 80 people w ho' ere watching the events unfold during this search. I was amazed. I didn't know how he'd react to that many people milling around. I was afraid the track would be contaminated. "But he stayed focused, kept on the track and eventually\ found the clothes and the weapon the suspect had used in the robbery. The suspect's jacket. mask. pants and weapon had been discarded in the bushes. The authorities were able to pull DNA off the mask and identified the suspect who was later arrested. I was tery proud of exceptional' K-9 Officer Leonard "Cricket" Bailey and Canine Officer "Buddy" are on the hunt. him for helping put that case together," he said. Bailey explained that the most important thing for a K-9 handler is to trust the dog. ."We were working one case where someone was involved in a car chase with law enforcement. The suspect left.the car and we were able to track him into the woods. Buddy kept going back to this particular house, but the occupant insisted that the suspect had run through the yard and she didn't know who he was or where he was located. But Buddy kept alerting on that house. We found. out later that the suspect had been in the house and was known to the resident. Buddy knew it," Bailey said. "That suspect was later arrested." Buddy isn't perfect, however, and Bailey is quick to tell stories About him. "On one of his first tracking jobs, we had been called out to search for a suspect who had run into a wooded area. Buddy was. working hard, doing: exactly what he was supposed to do. I watched him work the area and head into a bunch of palmettos." Bailey said. "I could hear him roaming around in the underbrush when suddenly I heard him give a loud 'velp.' My first thought was he had a run-in with a snake. He came charging out of the brush. running toward me for all he was \orth. When he got closer. I discovered what the problem wjs. He had come up on a skunk and gotten sprayed." he laughed. "What was worse \was I had a two- hour ride back to Perry with him in the truck. That dog stunk!" With the chew toy still in his mouth. Buddy jumped back into his truck kennel for a well- deserved drink of water. "To get a drink. you're going to have to drop that thing." Bailec told the dog. "I'm not going to take it away from you " With that reassurance, Buddy dropped the chew to\ and began lapping the water, keeping a close eye on his toy. Bailey patted the dog's head and told him. "You're a good dog." I With tongue hanging out, Buddy returns to his mobile kennel.

These hundreds of. Taylor County as its purpose was . SMany have heard or read about a proposed coal-fired electric power plant to be located, in Taylor County. Our political and community leaders have stepped forward to join forces with editorial writers as well as out-of- county officials to support construction of :this electrical facility in Taylor County. . The citizens of Taylor County hear no objections from citizens of adjoining counties. There are no objections. from the resource- consuming counties, .in. the southern parts of the state where virtually unabated development is: gulping huge amounts of land, water and electricity. Move the clock forward 10 years. Pretend that the plant was approved and constructed. Fifteen- hundred workers were employed to _build the plant and 150 workers are now employed to operate the plant. It is all fired off generating hundreds of thousands of volts of thousands of volts of electricity are off and away to other parts of the state, in particular to the counties' of the south.' Taylor County's problem has only now surfaced. Reality strikes. Wait! How, and where, are all those mega-volts of electricity traveling from the new power plant out of Taylor County? Where are the power distribution lines and their huge support structures located? Some years ago Florida Power proposed to bring power from the north, such as Georgia, by constructing high voltage power lines down 19/27 to bracket around- Perry and on south.. The power lines were, to be constructed on gantries seven to 10 stories high. It was not hard to imagine the ugly effect such a project would have on the 19/27 corridor to the north of the county as well as the land corruption through the county. There was to be no benefit to to send power to the southern part of the state. I wrote an article to the Taco Times. My wife and I traveled to Monticello to strongly protest. The project never went forward. In our step forward in time where are those power lines from the power plant located? Do they run down property west of 19/27? How about just east of Keaton and Steinhatchee? Maybe across the northern part of.the county and out 14? Perhaps 98 or 19/27 through Salem? Around the east or the west of Perry? Did they use existing rights-of- way or did they take property that became lost' to families and to Taylor County. for future development? What now is their effect? Are they encouraging ,people to move to Taylor County? Well, there you have it. A look into the future. Do you approve what you see? George Knoblock Dear Editor: My understanding is that the power plant will create at least 150 good permanent jobs. If that is so, I believe the citizens of our county desperately need access to these quality jobs. These jobs would provide the opportunity for some of our children and grandchildren to he trained here in Perry and go to work here also. Taylor Tech has proven in the past that we can provide relevant training for the power generation industry by partnering with the City of Tallahassee Power Generation and Progress Energy. From an industrial educator's point of view, there have been too many times that young talented individuals from our community have had to relocate to find quality employment. The power plant would give our : community the opportunity to. increase Taylor County's average income immediately and provide 150 very challenging careers as well. I know we will learn all about emissions as the plant is being permitted, but we will also have the opportunity to provide support or concerns as the process is undenvay. I want the power people to select Taylor County so the permitting process will happen here, not in some other county. , Sincerely, Scot Vaughn Industrial. Electrical and Instrumentation Instructor S'"' Taylor Technical Institute Littering offends letter witer Midweek Muddle Dear Editor: I am writing about the-ongoing litter problem I have seen in Taylor County in general. Apparently there will always be those people who just don't care about anyone or anything. That is how I view those who throw their garbage out their windows or throw it as they walk or ride bikes, etc. How else can they be described? Warm and fuzzy, they ain't. I would be willing to go so far as to say that a lt of them abuse animals too. I can see a letter coming hollering about that opinion right now. Make fun all you want to but you know that is true. If you don't care about the environment you have to live in, how could you care about God's creatures or other people, for -that matter? It is appalling to see, for those of us who wouldn't think about doing this deliberately. Accidents can happen, but stop and pick it up, for crying out loud. We have a great Keep Taylor Beautiful program going here and Dawn Taylor is the best of the best in being in charge along with those on the committee. , I don't belong to it, by the way. or am I.associated in any way. I would, but I have a thing about cleaning up after nasty people. If it is my job that is one thing, but on a volunteer basis for people who can do better? I don't think so. How can people go to every grocery store and fast-food restaurant and buy things, but somehow can't afford garbage service at home. I am so happy for you. You want to share your good fortune with everyone by throwing your food and bags out the windows of your vehicles or as you take your walk (exercising, are we??) for others to contend with and/or look at as they pass by. The other day I happened to be driving by the old hospital and it looked like someone had a party on the front lawn area and decided to let the maid clean up. The only solution is stiffer fines, more attention paid to this huge problem, to say the least, and education in schools. Apparently they think that they are being cute.

You don't think it is a serious problem? This is one thing that has been treated too lightly too long. Our environment is fragile enough as it is after all we have done to it. Why can't these litter bugs be stopped? Any suggestions? I have some, I doubt our family style hometown' paper would be willing to print them. Grow up and act like somebody, will you? Is that too much to ask? Sincerely, SAnn Yates Writer has 'deep concerns' about coal-fired plant Dear Editor: Our elected officials, the Taylor County Commissioners, have taken it upon themselves to vote unanimously to invite a coal-fired power plant to locate in Taylor County without any prior public hearing. I have some deep concerns about this action: 1. Does the Nature Coast really need another major pollution bearing industry? 2. There has been no guarantee that even though this plant claims to be "clean" that there will be no ammonia, sulfur dioxide or mercury, etc., leached into our rivers and the air we breathe. 3. Why will there no public input until the hearing on Sept. 15 in Taylor County? Are the commissioners waiting until after the sale of property to the JEA? 4. If this is such a clean industry, why is it not being located in Duval or Orange County where the power will be going? (Perhaps these counties have their fill of pollution and need to dump their pollution in Taylor County.) 5. Are we putting our children and ourselves at a greater risk for health problems in the future? As a retired teacher, 1 am appalled at the numbers of children with learning problems in Taylor County. Will we be contributing to this problem? A brochure released by The Learning Disabilities Association of America and The National Education Association .+, Please see page 3 Serving my country... through mosquito control By SUSAN H. LINCOLN When I answer the telephone, there is. now a. pause and it's not a telemarketer's pause. I can just about predict the iext sentence. But first, there's silence. It's uncomfortable silence, when the caller's thought processes obviously overwhelm the ability to speak. Then the brain gets back to the business of the moment and prompts the caller to ask, "Are you the one who sprays for mosquitoes?" No, I'm not that one. But that person is in great demand, SI'm here to report. If you want mosquito spraying, you must put an 838-prefix before that number. If you don't, you get me. "No, this is not the number for mosquito control," I explain at all hours of the day and night. "It has an 838 prefix." So far, people have been very kind and polite, except for the one woman who. was clearly perturbed--as if f had answered the wrong phone or something. I hope her mosquitoes have a lohg and happy life. Despite the discouragement from that one unkind caller, I have gone the extra mile for most of my mosquito control customers, without any compensation from the county. I remember John F. Kennedy's encouragement, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask' what you can do for your country." When checking the recorded messages on my answering machine, I note my callers' numbers and either' place a separate call .on -their behalf to the county office, or I call the individuals back and. provide-, the correct information. "Why thank you," the first woman' said. "That's very nice," a gentleman responded.: Hey; I have mosquitoes too. I know the horrors of it all and I have long. maintained that we must kill each others' mosquitoes. They can fly, you Know, without advance reservations to Sany location on the planet.. Of course, if I bought into half the Conspiracy theories I hear in an average week at the newspaper office, I would conclude that this was the county's intention: to pick a "nuisance" number which was close to lny telephone number, in order to inflict pain and hardship upon me and my family.. But, SI refuse to live that way. I already have enough enemies and mosquitoes to contend with; do I also want to imagine new ones? No, thank you. This recent phone phenomenon has surfaced before in my extended family. -My mother, who lives quietly in a three- bedroom brick house, had a terrible thing happen to her. Shortly after my father's death, 25 years ago, "Time & -Temperature" in my hometown changed its number. It is now one digit different from hers. I don't think the telephone company was picking on her; I don't think God singled her out for this madness; I think it just happened. Weeks will pass at her home without a problem, until hunting season opens. Then every third person in camouflage, calls at .5 a.m. to find out what the temperature is--like it matters. They're going hunting anyway,.I'm sure. "Why don't they stick their heads out the window?" she asks. It's a valid question. She could move, but she loves her house on the hill.. She could change her phone number, but all her friends and family members know it by. heart. She could assume a new identity, but she's comfortable with her current one, and doesn't want to live in Montana. So she just takes the phone off its hook. Why should we be slaves to modern technology, anyway? If you want her, or the time and temperature, you'll have to come knock on the back door and ask. And if it's 5 Sa.m., you'd better bring your shotgun.

In this person's response he states that I suggested. people who would oppose this power plant are uniformed and ignorant. This is not what was stated, being informed of an issue does not always make a person understand the issue. Dear Editor: For years my flaming pen has been idle, but my inquisitive nature has not. I have asked questions many times. Just what is the economic council of Taylor County doing w ith the money that is being funneled into it'? Why are .they not aggressively seeking positive businesses for the county? It is apparent from the reports I hae received that no one seems to know. The' e\ idence of new businesses b .being drawn to Taylor County, and blessed by the elected officials Sand the economic council, have not been a real asset to this .-community. The example of Alford's conning debacle--the bombing range--and now the coal plant. On June 1. I w\as driving west on 1-10 and discovered the new Family Dollar Distribution Plant. I wondered why Tay lor County did not secure this business. I am sure those in charge of the economic council surely don't think the people of Ta lor County are not capable of filling boxes for distribution to other areas So what is the economic council really doing for Taylor County'? I just read MN Florida ' Innovation, Quarterly and found : economic councils across the slate actively working for new businesses for their counties. So let us look at what we might have obtained with an aggressive economic council: 1) E-Stone LSA Corporation Second: I do not want or expect people reading this column to 'believe as I do without first understanding the facts of both good and bad regarding the proposed power plant. What would be unfortunate is o ha e people 'listening to emotional outbursts % which ha\e no facts behind them. Third: President Bush did sign off allowing coal pow er plants a' 15 Near moratorium to get into compliance. However please be aware this applies to existing plants not nee ones. In case you were wondering, I think 15 years is way too much time to get these plants' into compliance, so President Bush's decision to do this, I do not support. SFourth: Believing that Taylor County does hot have environmental issues with some very significant ones, would. certainly be a lack., .of understanding of what is going on here and now. Fifth: The comments made regarding the 50's and 60's vehicles versus a newer 2006 vehicle, my suggestion to .ou and ' ll oherlis ,s please read the reports from the. studies done, you ill find that this statement is simply inaccurate and appears to be based on one's personal opinion :han fact. Whether they will last longer or not remains unknown, I guess we will know in about--40 years. Sixth: In regards to the loyal union comment, I am not sure what this has to do with my comments made on a power plant? However my understanding of unions is that they make every effort ,to keep members safe from employers who might decide cutting corners a little won't hurt and like an) other organization Whether union or not there is always good and bad about ,it. Again, in ,case you 'were wondering, sorry to contradict your statement but I am not with: any union organization nor have I ever been. .opened the first international .Lastly, let me sa\ that this manufacturer of mosaics in proposed plant has a lot of Highlands County and they took opportunity for our county and its advantage of the Enterprise Zone. current future residents and The company praised the although it has great opportunity economic council and officials.

Having a coal fired power plant ii the community is; analogous to smoking; .the risks are well ; tablished and have been known : lr years. FFloridians -' erwhelmingly voted for smoke- i 'ee restaurants and work places. Wecan now enjoy a nice mealjn -' fmoke-free restaurant, why i oidld anybody in their right mind S ant a smoke filled outdoor environment? Just like cigarettes, S hei. is no such thing as a safe S coal fired power plant. They emit poisonous gases which cause asthma attacks, heart attacks and S kill people. Sadly, air pollution i cutting short the lives of E; 4,000 Americans a year; their lives are cut short not by a few weeks or months but by an average of 12 years! : Sixty-seven different pollutants -h ave been detected in the flue gas o-' f coal-fired power plants. Of these, 55 are known to affect the * development of a child's brain or i' .:erous system or to affect the :_iayiia child's body develops. -People living nearby a coal fired -power plant have higher rates of' i dath and disease because of all the poisonous gases emitted. Unless S the commissioners will be S-:walking around with gas masks, they will be increasing their own chance of death and disease as well as the community's. As a Tallahassee asthma; .specialist I've treated thousands of patients with asthma.. Many are well-controlled until they travel to r "Serv polluted places like Pensacola or Atlanta and develop an asthma attack. Witnessing someone with an asthma attack is a humbling experience; patients are struggling for their next breath of air. I routinely counsel many of my asthmatic graduates not to move 'to polluted cities like Atlanta. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I told my patients not to move to Taylor County as well? Citizens all over the country worry about their health, jobs and, their community. New evidence is now showing that air pollution causes chromosomal damage in' fetuses and low birth weight babies. Exposure to high levels of pollution over a long time is now thought, not only to worsen asthma but, to cause it as well. Do you think businesses will be attractedto Taylor County if it becomes even more polluted than it now is?' Was distribution center pursued? ECONOMIC COUNCIL Continued from page 3 appear not to want to blow people up either. So 'my question is again, exactly what is the economic Council of Taylor County doing? I would also like to know how; aggressively did they seek the Family Dollar Distribution Center or any of the other businesses bsted above? Pat Cook Discount Air & Heat Refurb Center >ing Taylor County and the Beaches" Refrigerators Ice Makers Heating Units -_Same Day Service--24 hours a day, 7 days a week (N(o service charge with work done) :$0 Down S-6 months same as cash .A power plant in the community will definitely .Stimulate job growth in the funeral home and undertaker sectors. It is doubtful that a coal fired plant will cause your electricity bill to go down but it is certain that there will be more health costs to burden the taxpayers; more doctors visits, medications, lost work days and an increase in ER visits, hospitalizations, heart and asthma attacks and death. Choose clean air, not poisoned air. Don't turn 'Taylor County into a sacrifice zone. You are. entitled to breathe clean air: A coal fired power plant in Perry could rob' you of your health and kill you. Remind your commissioners that they will also be breathing in poisoned air if this plant is built. Does anybody in their right mind want to breathe poisoned air? Ronald H.
