What began as a simple traffic
stop Sunday night quickly
escalated into \hat could ha'e
been a scene from the television
reality drama "Cops," complete
with a stolen police car, high-speed
chase and escaped prisoner.
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.
Police are looking for Perez and
asking for assistance from the
community.

Improvements fueled by grants


Taylor County has seen a
number of state grants come its
way recently. helping to fund a
variety of local projects, including
improvements at the Perry-Foley
Airport, Hodges Park and
Hampton Springs.
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

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."

'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

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.

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

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. "

"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 gun had a live round in the

STaylor is also one of 19
counties in which local
,government boards are eligible for
'public assistance funds for
emergencyi services and debris
removal ard to help restore or,
rebuild essential public facilities.


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

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.

IT'S A


'DIGITAL
WORLD

By JEREMY HARTMAN
In this article, I'd like to let
everyone know about something
truly interesting and quite neat. 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.


EMS responded to scene
STEWART
Continued from page 1
'Doctors' Memorial Hospital Emergency Medical Services was called to
the scene and the couple were flown to Shands Hospital in Gainesville.
When the hospital was contacted Thursday, officials confirmed that
Ross was in critical condition and on life-support.
He died later that day.

For volunteer support


Hospice seeks materials


Covenant Hospice is seeking material to make
aprons that would be useful for Alzheimer patients in
area nursing homes.
Donations of solid color, light-weight canvas cloth
or pre-made solid color aprons of the same materials
would- be greatly appreciated. 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.
For more information, please call 584-9886.

Association sets course standards
for police dog certification,"
Bailey explained.
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

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."

With tongue hanging out, Buddy returns to his mobile kennel.

Editorial


B-2 Taco Times August 10, 2005


SLooking to the future: where


will power lines be located?
-Dear Editor: electricity. 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

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. Don't share

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

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.

Letters to the Editor



Writer defends previous letter


B-3 The TacoTimes ,August 10, 2005












,C WOA
~I~cir~llTI~ ~~IONrlllY~~118


Dear Editor:
I decided to respond'to the
comments made in a recent
"Lettersto t he Editor".. regarding
(Who is Uninformed) published on
Aug. 9, 2005. I typically would
not spend time in responding to
emotional comments, however I
feel that there are others who
might .have taken my "previous
comments out of context as,this
person has. Let-me clarify:. ,
,First: In my original letter I
stated that it would be a lack of
understanding to oppose this
power plant based on'i reconceived
notions. 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.

specialist: 'choose clean air'


S-Dear Editor,
Does anybody in their right
ind want to breathe poisoned air?
t is not in the- best interest of
Taylor County residents nor their
S commissioners to build a coal
fired p6wer plant.
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?

.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?
