The alleged drug dealer arrested in the bust remains in jail under a half-million dollar bond. According to a report filed with TCSO, Dep. Rusty Davis was conducting surveillance at the bar for .narcotics activities and for wanted persons on local arrest warrants when he saw Willie Washington Jr., 26 exit the bar and walk to a green Chevrolet Tahoe SUV which Washington had parked earlier. "While at the vehicle," Davis said, "Washington bent over at the back driver-side tire and placed a clear plastic bag behind the tire and then re-entered the bar. "I approached the vehicle and retrieved the concealed bag, which contained 15 bags of cannabis, one bag containing several ecstasy pills and five bags of crystal methamphetamine powder," he added. After securing the narcotics. Davis then entered the bar with Perry Police Department Pil. Garrett Campbell to locate the suspect, who was found and taken outside for questioning. During the interview, TCSO Sgt. Buddy Lee informed Davis that he had seen, in plain view, a large clear plastic bag containing suspected marijuana in the back ..'s-e of Washington's vehicle. At that time, Washington was placed under arrest for the concealed narcotics, and a search was conducted on his vehicle . During the search, a large clear plasitc bag containing marliujna was also seized. \Vashington \vas then taken to the Talor County jail, where he was charged with possession of cannabis with intent to sell, possession of amphetamine with intent to sell, possession of crystal Progress, support Every day brings new progress at Veterans Memorial Park, both in construction and continued support.

Consolidation a 'pressing issue' Deeming it a "pressing issue," the Perry City Council has asked for regular updates from satellite committees developing plans for the consolidation of cily/county animal control and building departments. Last week, the council formally appointed Councilman Alphonso Dowdell to serve on the building committee and Councilman Don Cook on the animal control committee. Both representatives had volunteered for the positions during a special joint meeting with county commissioners last month. Jack Scott. who serves on the city's planning and zoning board. will join Dowdell on the building committee while local resident Jim Mitchell will join Cook on the animal control committee. Rounding out the committees will be county commissioners Clay Bethea (building) and Malcolm Page (animal control). Animal Control Director Brianne Hoover has also been named to the animal control committee: no decision has been made on a county representative for the building committee. When asked about possible conflicts with the Florida Sunshine laws governing discussion amofig .public officials, City Attorney Mike Smith related that "the law does not preclude a county ,, Please see page 2 meth with intent to sell and possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell within 1,000 feet of a church. Four days later, Davis conducted a walk-through at the Hwy. 98 bar, and discovered a large clear plastic bag containing 54 smaller bags of marijuana and one small bag with a suspected ecstasy pill in it. These drugs were also confiscated to be destroyed at a later date. Hike on bed tax proposed" The Taylor County Tourism: Development Council (TDC) was expected to request an additional one percent bed/ tax to fund: improvements at Forest Capital: Hall at Tuesday's county. commission meeting. Taylor County currently has a two percent bed tax which is applied to anyone staying at .establishments such as hotels" within -he county. According tq state statute 125.0104, known as the 'Local Option Tourist: Development Act, the county has the authority to impose such a tax tofiund tourism development and create a local tourism development council. The state collects the tax revenue and then sends it to the county, which gives the money to the council, according to TDC Director Dawn Taylor. "We then submit our requests to the county," Taylor said. "The IDC uses the money to promote and develop new events pertaining to tourism." Local events the TDC supports include: the Florida Forest Festival, the Florida State Bluegrass Festival, the recently held gymnastics national qualifier .- Please see page 3 Coastal project to be discussed The permitting process tied to the development of 3,800 acres of coastal property here will the topic' ,of a special meeting Thursday, Aug. 18,.at Keaton Beach.

That was how it was conceived in 1956. "I didn't have to go and make speeches or anything of that nature, but I did ride the parade in front of all those people. We then went to the park and Mr. (Henry) Dorsett crowned me and gave a speech. I was so excited and overwhelmed I really don't know what he said in his speech. The next year, I crowned Elizabeth Blume as the second Miss Pine Tree Festival queen." Jagondinski said she plans to return for this year's 50th anniversary celebration of the Florida .Forest Festival and encourages the community to continue its support of the event. "The Florida Forest Festival is 50' years of tradition and is 'a symbol of Taylor County's timber industry past and present. The timber industry, as well as the Florida Forest Festival, has indeed put Taylor County on the map What played out Friday, was a case of civilians cooperating %with law enforcement to capture and detain a suspect after he led a deputy on a high-speed chase through Steinhatchee, crashing into several vehicles and a power pole. STaylor County Sheriffs Office Dep, Scott McKenzie said he saw a Cadillac SUV traveling east on Riverside Drive at a speed greater Than the posted 35 mph. ."I motioned for the driver to' slow down at which time he did comply," McKenzie said. "The SUV approached the stop sign at the intersection of Park Avenue, and. First Avenue South. The driver made a wide right turn and for approximately 30 feet, drove in the opposite lane of traffic." When the driver. later identified as Lee Clark, 27 of Alpharetta, Ga., entered the correct lane, he accelerated: to 46 mph in a 35 mph zone. McKenzie said when he got behind Clark. the suspect accelerated to an even higher rate of speed and began running stop, signs and, passing through intersections. "The driver finally reached a dead end on First Avenue South." said McKenzie, but he exited the paved road and drove onto a grassy area before making a left turn. reversing his direction of travel. "I attempted to stop the vehicle " by turning my patrol car at an angle in the road, but the driver drove around my patrol car. Once.again, Clark led the officer through several intersections and stop signs without slowing down. "Once the driver approached Fiddler's Restaurant," McKenzie said, "he lost control, rounding a curve and leaving the pa\ ed road on the right' ide of Riverside Drive. "The vehicle traveled- into Fiddler's parking lot,, hitting a stop sign and two of Fiddler's patron's cars. The front bumper from the second vehicle hit broke loose and struck a third vehicle next to it, causing minor.damage. "The suspect continued past the third vehicle and struck a power pole head-on," McKenzie'added. "As I exited ny patrol car, a drew my side armi and ordered the suspect to place his hands where I could see them. "The driver briefly raised his arms before.attempting to again exit his vehicle. I placed my side ,'arm back in its holster and as I approached, 'the vehicle, I announced who I was. "I grabbed the suspect with my left hand and removed him from his 'vehicle before placing him face-down on the, ground," McKenzie said. "The suspect continued to resist and I dry-tazed him to get' compliance, I ordered the suspect to stop resisting and yelled to him that he was under arrest. "At that time. Clark rolled to his right side and struck me in the left shoulder using his left elbow," McKenzie said.

'I continued my pursuit, yelling numerous times for him to stop, bu. he continued running," McKenzie added. "I lost sight of the suspect.as he rounded several buildings at the Steinhatchee Rivergate home site." McKenzie said he then stopped his foot pursuit "because of the. number of vehicles damaged and the bystanders who were in the parking lot. ""I returned to my patrol car, when numerous civilians approached and asked if they could help.,' said, McKenzie. "I then werit back to the point where I had, last seen the suspect, when a civilian approached me and said. that several other civilians had stopped the suspect.and had him. surrounded." McKenzie said he dro\e to the spot, .and, saw. four ci. ilianis standing around Bell. . The t\o civilians identified as the ones who had stopped the suspect were Jared Hunt' and Austin Walker. S "They said they had located the suspect, and while attempting to assist and restrain him, the suspect sw ung at them and they were forced to restrain him in self defense," McKenzie said. ,"I noticed the suspect was bleeding from a cutunder his right eye and had several lacerations to the top of his head," he added. Clark was handcuffed and taken back to Fiddler'd Restaurant. A check of his Georgia identification showed his ID was for identification pfirposes only and not a valid drivers license. Three warrants out of Fulton County, Ga., were found to be active on Clark. They are for flight to avoid a law enforcement officer, driving with license suspended and failure to maintain lane weaving. When checked, Georgia, however, denied extradition outside the state.

As temperatures rise Southern pine beetles busy By ADAM PARDEN Taylor County Forester Temperatures are on the rise and that can mean only one thing, besides high AC bills. Southern pine beetle (SPB) activity is heating up. Many landowners are familiar with this pest and the havoc it can cause. Sound forest management, .however, can help prevent SPB outbreaks and damage, as well as enhance recreation opportunities, reduce the risk of loss from wildfires, and increase the economic potential of forest land. Listed are tips forestland owners can use to better protect themselves from southern pine beetle infestation. Thin dense, overcrowded pine stands to increase vigor of remaining trees, make beetle spread difficult due to wider spacing and produce higher value wood products at final harvest. Prescribe burn to reduce competing hardwood vegetation and underbrush beneath pines, reduce wildfire hazard, and enhance wildlife and aesthetic value. Minimize or avoid wounds to pines during harvesting operations to reduce the production of pine odors that attract pine beetles. Match the site with the ideal :species of pine. Longleaf and slash pine are more resistant to southern pine beetles than other pine species, such as loblolly and shortleaf. A forester can helpyou determine which species, are appropriate for a given site. Remove pines weakened by disease, injury, lightning or other stress to increase overall stand ,vigor. By following simple tips like these, your timber stand will be better prepared to withstand the "heat" brought on by southern pine beetles. For more information on southern pine beetle prevention or any other forest-related issues, contact your Taylor County forester at (850) 838-2286. 12th annual chamber golf scramble Sept. 2 The Perry/Taylor County Chamber. of Commerce has announced that its 12th annual Chamber of Commerce Golf Scramble Fundraiser will be held Friday, Sept. 2, at the Perry Golf and Country Club.

Sports Bulldogs tangle with Mayo, Hamilton in kickoff classic Taylor County High football fans will get their first look at the 2005, team Thursday when the Bulldogs travel to Mayo for the annual kickoff classic. Taylor County, under first-year coach Price Harris, will take on host Mayo-Lafayette in the second half and Hamilton County in the third half. Mayo and Hamilton County will battle in the first half of the three-team exhibition which' begins at 7 p.m. S"I'm anxious to see what we got and who's going to step up and be a leader," Harris said. The Bulldogs open their regular season next week (Aug. 26) when Chipley comes to town. Having to open the 2005 season without the benefit of spring practice, Harris said his team still has a lot of work to do. "They are getting there but they still have a long way to go. You can't knock how hard they've been working, though," he said. Price, along with his new coaching staff, have been busy installing the "flexbone" offense. The flexbone is a.variation of the wishbone offense that utilizes a fullback and two wingbacks. Harris said from that initial set, the Bulldogs will run the inside veer, options and sweeps but they will also have a lot of different formations involving multiple wideouts and slot players. But don't expect to see a lot of Price's offense this Thursday. "We're still in the learning stages. We plan to keep it simple Thursday," he said. Price said expect to see Marvin Britt, Shawn Padgett and Tradelvin Whetsel sharing time at' fullback while Brokow.ski Jackson, Tony Powell, Gerald Walker and Greg Snead should all see action at the wingbacks. Calling signals for the Bulldogs will be Genario McNealy.and Marquis Ellis while Sebastian Ingram, Jamar McIntyre and SJoseph Proenza will share time at the wideouts. The offensive line should consist of Cole Revels at tight end and interior linemen Billy Joe Wigglesworth, Adam Cook, Cane Miguel, Drew Southerland and Marcus Humphrey. Taylor County will run a 4-3 defense with Revels and Shane Bailey playing' the ends and Britt and Jake Meacham at the tackles. Sharing time at linebacker will be Georgie Armstrong, Jackson, Padgett, Whetsel and Wigglesworth. Price said to look for McNealy, Proenza, Ingram, McIntr re and Powell in the secondary. 2005 Taylor County High Football Schedule Dato .-. .

Community B-1 The Taco Times August 17, 2005 Rn I Ra Live Grammy winner Rhonda Vincent and The Rage will headline the '005 Florida Forest Festival, with two high-energy performances Saturday, Oct. 22. Hailed as "The Mandolin . Mama," Vincent can be seen today .(Wednesday) on CMT's "Wide Open Country" along with country artists Dwight Yoakam, Kathleen Edwards and Marc Broussard. The show, which features artists from a wide variety of alternative country' and bluegrass, airs at 2 p.m. Vincent's latest album, Ragin' Live, was released earlier this year and continues to make its mark on the music :charts. It follows her. highly acclaimed 2004 album, One Step Ahead, on Rounder Records. Vincent began performing with her parents at age three. The musical' Vincent family became TV regulars in Iowa when Rhonda was five. -A year later the clan took to the radio air waves over KIRX in Kirksville, Mo. Then the Vincents became the "house band" at the Frontier Jamboree in nearby Marceline, backing every bluegrass and country star from Ernest Tubb to Bill Monroe..

(Photo by Rick Hannon) To community groups 1- ,a V< Vincent has made several television appearances, the most memorable a "live" performance of her first nationally released single/video "I'm Not Over You" on "Prime Time Country." As the draped curtain began to rise, it caught the boom end of her microphone, and just before it hit her face, she grabbed it. and held it as the curtain raised it higher. Without missing a single note, Vincent started singing the song while holding a guitar in one hand, the microphone in the .other, propped on a rall chair in a flo\ ing dress., After singing the first two lines of the song, she burst ihto laughter, recovered the microphone and finished the performance. This episode of "Prime Time Country" landed on Dick Clark's "Bloopers" show. A frequent performer on the "Grand Ole Opry," Vincent said, "I see bluegrass as the sister music of country music and am glad to, finally see that radio programmers are beginning to agree." Her latest single. "I've Forgotten You," is on the play lists of many i country stations, along with past singles "If Heartaches Had Wings'" and "You Cantt Take It With You When You Go." Vincent has performed with Alan Jackson, Dolly Partoh, The Statler Brothers, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Alison Krauss, Earl United Way awards $173,911 Taylor. County volunteers completed the United Way of the' jBig Bend community investment, process July 21, and funds will soon be distributed to 18 agencies that provide services in Taylor County. A group of Taylor volunteers spent 12 hours over the course of -itwo days at the Big Bend Hospice office in Perry to ensure that $173,911 was allocated "in ,a fair and unbiased manner so that these select agencies can provide services for local people' ii need throughout the year. "Our group was very congenial and was able to agree on what was best for Taylor County," said Shirley G. Scol., Taylor Allocation Team member "We were on the same wavelength and were able to S analyze the importance of the services that these agencies provide to our community. Our main goal was to be sure that each agency received a fair amount of funds so that they could continue supporting people in need throughout Taylor County. We!i thank the people of Taylor County. for their continued support of United Way " The Tailor County Community Investment Team included Scott Barton (Buckeye 'Technologies). June Evans (retired).

The team also makes on-site visits to the agencies, studies their budgets and hears testimonials from clients and/or, agency volunteers. Upon completion, they'determine which agencies will be funded and how much they will rece\ie. The team reviewed 19 agency applications, and 18 agencies were funded: 2-.1-1 Big Bend, Ability 1st, American Red Cross (Capital Area Chapter),, America's Second Harvest of the Big Betd,'Big Bend Cares, Big Bend Hospice, Boy 'Scouts. of America (Suwannee River Area' Council), Boys and Girls Club of Perry/Taylor County, Brehon Institute for Family Services,' Elder Care Services, Fellow.ship of Christian Athletes.

SDuring my spring visit, I learned S ihat Taylor County's newest controversy was a proposed .bombing range. Somehow the two just didn't go together in my mind: bombs and the "Nature Coast." I do Believe that the serenity promised ..by the very term "Nature Coast," :? would have been blasted to .smithereens when the first bomb 'dropped. I was so glad to learn last week that this project is on "hiatus" ::now, and hope that will be a :permanent thing. It appears that at :least the "gentleman" who wanted 'to bring it to Taylor County will no 'longer be involved. : Now, I don't know much about :"coal-burning power plants, but that S'appears to be the next project threatening the Nature Coast. I do remember running to get the clothes off the line before, when the old coal-fired steam engine trains came through, so they .wouldn't be covered with soot. Of ' course, you couldn't bring in grass, ::trees, flowers, lawn furniture, and .such... they just had to sit there and t.-take it, much as the people will have to do, if the county succumbs once again to the lure laid out for them. Sure, the construction of such a place promises many jobs, but how many permanent jobs will there be when it's in operation? And will those jobs be for the Taylor County folks, or for experts in the field. brought in from somewhere else? But let's look at the bright side: probably the hospital will do more business as the folks with respiratory problems have even more problems just ir mng to catch '.a breath of fresh air. Sometimes it seems that no one learned anything from the Fenholloway fiasco so many years ago, for they seem to continually search for new ways to pollute the water, the environment and even the heavens above. I may speak a little whimsically, but I'm afraid next time I go for a visit I may catch a whiff of fire and brimstone, for possibly the devil himself is buying up souls, just so he can ruin the Nature Coast!

Lawson's letter, I have to say, it saddens me to think that anyone in this community would consider a coal- burning plant. After all of the stench and pollution we have, to put up with already. I have family that has to live near the pulp mill and they polluted water and air everyday of their lives to deal with. : Our own greed for money and prosperity will be the death of us! I just hope Perry will wake up and realize that Mike Lawson won't be Living here. Concerned citizen, Barbara Samson Letters to the Editor must indutde a name and daytime contact phone number. perrynews@perry.gulfnet.com Diversification a 'major factor' for any economy Dear Editor: I must acknowledge that our elected' officials have a difficult. task in making decisions that will have an impact on the community as they cannot satisfy everyone regarding the outcome of the process. Sometimes I have been on the short end of the process as I have felt that our elected officials may not have considered all aspects of a particular situation. However, when the decisions involve economic development it becomes even more difficult to make those decisions as people will have an array of opinions depending on their particular interests. Every proposed economic development will have its pluses and minuses and nothing is perfect.- Sometimes the, special interest groups have difficulties in looking at the total picture. My particular interest is for the economic well being of the community. Over the years people have used different clichess" to express their thought process: One that comes to mind is the "Heartbeat of America" which relates to the economic structure or the business climate of the community.. The business community (including government) provides the employment base for individuals to receive an income to purchase goods and services and to live comfortably. Perry and Taylor County have been in existence since the mid 1800s and had an. agricultural-based economic system until the mid 1900s. During the twentieth century, the economic base began to shift to an industry-' based economic system. A major factor in any economic system is diversification. Since, the late 50s, the economic base improved for the local economy with the addition, of Buckeye, sawmills, Tom's Food, Sportcraft Boats, and other various retail and service industries. In the 90s, the local economy came to a standstill due to pressures from outside interest groups which resulted in higher unemployment rates for Taylor County. On numerous occasions the elected officials and the business community joined .together and worked to save these jobs and attract additional employers such as the Department of Corrections. Today the community has .-* Please see page 5 Midweek Muddle What do I have in common with Russian sailors? Who would have thought that I would have suffered mightily with a Russian submarine crew stranded at the bottom of the ocean? I'm often compassionate, but Russians?--the very people I spent my childhood fearing, as I hovered under my second-grade desk during the Cuban missile crisis...the very people I feared would bring our nation's demise. The wall came down, I know. We all grew up, I know. But our personal walls often stay in place. And I thought about that, as I agonized with this crew surrounded by frigid water and a- diminishing oxygen supply. My- compassion quickly surfaced while I prayed that the sailors would too. If you want to kill me, please whack me over the head once and be done with it. Don't put me underwater with a slowly declining oxygen supply. I'm not, an amphibian; I gasp when you put a: washdoth over my face. . Early reports noted that the ,submarine was trapped when, its propeller became entangled in a maze of cables, lines and fishing nets. I pondered that dilemma, thought of sea turtles and then followed the fishing line of this story back to my own garage, one of the great black holes in the universe. Shoes, gardening implements and even boys can go missing in my garage.- Some are. never heard from. again; others surface from the experience, looking much like the' Russian sailors--dazed and subdued. I don't know why our garage is the albatross it is, but I think a large share of the credit goes to the husband who resists departing with life's many treasures. "What is this?" I asked the other day. It was the old, bafiged-up headlight unit from the husband's truck that had been replaced by a new one...months, years ago. "And this?" I ask, looking at the inner workings of :a toilet which had been replaced months, years ago. "And this?" I ask, and as I ask it, I hear the back door slam. The husband doesn't stand around long for. my soliloquies. I don't even blame him. ,It's hard to defend yourself, when surrounded by Sanford & Son's junkyard. In the spirit of full disclosure, I' will admit to having a broken-down chair I. can't depart with, 'and the daughter's wooden wagon fromi'toddler days which sits on wheels that barely work. I like hoarding vases and baskets, and know I might need those 12 paint cans for touch-up. I have stacks of flower pots and bags of fertilizer,. Seed pods are drying on one shelf, while hydrangea blooms are curing on another. I have tiki lights for mosquito 'control and stakes for tomato plants. When we Samfords add "Son" to the By SUSAN H. LINCOLN mix, the outcome is even more eclectic: dried-up locusts, containers of earthworms in various stages of decay, old shoes caked with mud and manure. Even the snakes are afraid to come in.:. "Make sure no one sees the garage," says the daughter if we're about to have company. If police tape wouldn't attract attention to the area, I'd resort.to that. On one of my recent attempts at "shoring up the garage" (we never call it cleaning--that would imply an outcome that we simply can't produce), I was astounded by the number of spools of fishing line. I picked up every spool I could and then confronted the husband. "I have found 18 spools of fishing line out there. How many do you need, and why aren't you using -the .ones you :.' have?"' "Really," he said, hardly looking up ,from Fox news.. "You know they come in different weights--it's not one size fits all." "Well, yeah, but 18? Are the fish really that picky?" "You,.don't get it," said the son, whizzing by. ".And look at this stack over here by the t.v.--there are-six more spools right there in front of you. That's 24. My gosh, we'd have money if we didn't have fishing line." The back door slammed again, and I was alone \with my thoughts. Not long after that day of toil and organization, I went to produce a pair of shoes from their proper place in my garage, and was instantaneously caught in a .wicked web of fishing line. It \rTapped around my foot, through the slats in the shelves, beyond the shoes, through the foldable chairs, one large fishing net and eventually to the post hole diggers in the distance. If I moved, the diggers were going to land on my new vehicle. I stood .there in complete silence, looking around for help. There was none. I could scream, but that would just make me sweat more. "I wish you were Lassie,"' i said- to the dog, and I'm afraid it hurt her feelings, but at least she didn't slam the door on me. I studied my dilemma carefully and soon determined that it was like getting a knot out of a necklace. If I crawled between the loop made by my shoe and the set of shelves, then I could grab the foldable chairs and liberate the .post- hole diggers from the fishing line, thus saving my vehicle. "Easier said than done" to be sure, but the procedure, I'm happy to report, worked, and I emerged both dazed and subdued, willing to sell all the husband's, fishing line and treasures at the next yard sale. It occurred to me that, in Russia, they may want to do the same thing with that submarine. I I I :e po /A ; B-3 The Taco Times August 17, 2005 Vehicle simulates impaired driving Youth in Taylor County will soon get a chance to feel what it's like to drive under the influence thanks to ,a new vehicle that simulates impaired driving. The Boys and Girls Club of Perry/Taylor County recently purchased a Simulated Impaired Driving Experience (SIDNE) through a grant in hopes of discouraging driving under the influence. "SIDNE is a battery-powered vehicle that simulates the effects of impairment from alcohol on a person's driving skills. It operates in two modes. In normal mode, the vehicle's steering, braking and acceleration respond appropriately. In impaired mode, the vehicle reacts with delayed steering, braking and acceleration simulating the effects of a vehicle being driven by an impaired driver," Prevention Coordinator Teresa Newman said. "The ultimate goal of the SIDNE is to decrease impaired driver related crashes, injuries dnd death." For more information regarding the program, contact Newman at (850) 584-8448.

Dear Editor: We would like to thank the Taylor County Commission for having the foresight to pursue the proposed power plant and diversify the economic base of Taylor County. As we all know, a. strong economic base is the life blood of an\ community; without it a community cannot survil e. For a number of years we have been a supporter of Buckeye, its employees and its related forest industries. Buckeye has been good to our citizens and Taylor County has been good to Buckeye. However, our community's dependency on Buckeye is so strong that each time the environmentalist groups and the media attacks the river issues we have seen our local economy come to a standstill. From our viewpoint the vast majority of the citizens of Taylor County get very nervous about the thought of Buckeye no longer existing here. It would be devastating for us if something happened to Buckeye. This is the primary reason Taylor County needs to diversify' its economic dependency. We need more industry (in addition to our forestry industry) with good 'Plaintiff, v. MARVIN J. CLARK, GLADYS M. CLARK, SHARON McDUFFIE, MARY THOMAS, ROBERT R.

Green Street, Perry, Florida 32347. 8/17, 8/19 paying jobs in Taylor County. This is no different from your own investment strategies. You should never put all your eggs in one basket. If you do, the minute that particular industry takes a hit, your financial well being is paralyzed or worse, even-bankrupt. We have witnessed how Enron even affected some of Taylor County's own citizens. We now have the chance to improve our economic base by leaps and bounds, not only through new industry but also through real estate developments that will increase our tax base two fold. We may finally be able to afford additional fire protection for the beaches areas,-additional police protection, upgrade our recreational facilities for our children, and enhance our school system with the additional property tax income. We cannot afford to lose the opportunity of getting new industry in our area, especially a business such as the proposed power plant. That type of business is economically solid and will be here for decades to come. According to demographic studies Florida is growing by more than two thousand people a day. Someday, if we are not prepared, we could be like California, black- outs from a deficiency 'of electricity and paying enormous energy costs to boot. Not only would Taylor County benefit from the jobs that a power plant would bring, but we could benefit from lower costs of energy with more power placed into the grid system for us to ultimately purchase. We all have to.make sacrifices every day of our lives. We may not think what those sacrifices are sometimes, like polluting the air every time you drive your vehicle, but we have needs we are not willing to do without. We must prepare for the future now. We understand people are concerned about the environment around us. So are we. With the technology we have today this proposed power plant will be one of the most efficient and cleanest producers of electricity of our time. This will openthe door for more of our children to stay in Taylor County and secure good paying jobs. Taylor County lias been and always will be a great place to raise a family. .We support economic development for the sake of our community aind children. Again,, thank you Taylor County Commissioners! Sincerely, Marvin Brooks S Randy Hemdon 'Take it to Leon County?' Dear Editor: Early in the year of 2004, the county commission, -refusing to have a vote, was actively helping Stephen Alford to establish a deadly bombing range in Taylor County. It took Mr. Alford so long toget his ducks in a row that two of the commissioners had to run for re-election. Because of their efforts to have the deadly bombing range established in Taylor County over the objections of many citizens, they were soundly defeated. Well, well, well. Guess what. Early in the year of 2005, even without a public hearing, the county commissioners are actively trying to help Mr. Lawson erect a deadly coal-fired electric plant in Taylor County over the objections of many citizens. Same song, second verse. Before Mr. Lawson will be able to get all his ducks in a row, all five commissioners will have to run for re-election. Same- song, third verse, because of their efforts to. force the erection of this deadly coal-fired plant on the citizens, they too will be soundly defeated. If they are interested in retaining their seats on the board, I would suggest that they tell Mr. Lawson to pack up his plans for that deadly coal-fired plant and go back to Jacksonville--today, not tomorrow. Or better still, since Tallahassee decided to contribute several millions of dollars to-have it built in. Taylor County, take it to Leon County where they want H. T. Baxter DIVERSIFICATION Continued from page 2 improved its diversification by retaining jobs in the timber industry along with the growth in aluminum fabrication, shelter manufacturing, healthcare, and retail and service industries. In addition, I have seen the escalation of property values in the coastal areas of the county with the promotion of tourism. With all things considered I must commend the elected officials and the business community for their joint efforts in attracting new businesses, expanding existing businesses and retaining existing businesses within the community. We cannot afford to rest on our accomplishments, but must diligently work to support-the growth in the coastal areas of the county, support the growth of the existing industries within the county, support the retail''and service industries, support "the tourism industries such as' the sports complex and the riature coast attractions, support 'the medical facilities and any -new industries such as the coal power plant that is being proposed." I encourage the elected officials to sincerely consider the "Heartbeat of America" and the "Diversification" in their decision process regarding the coal power plant and/or other industries, the coastal developments, and other expansion that will be taking place in Perry and Taylor County. Sincerely, Roger Brooks Want to volunteer? UNITED WAY Continued from page 1 million is allocated by United Way to agencies serving citizens all across the Big Bend, including Taylor County residents.
