The Taylor Counit Sheriff's
Office has stepped-up its drug
eradication efforts with a large
drug bust last week at the Hwy. 98
Bar that netted more than $3,000 in
illegal drugs.
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,

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

Mike Smith related that "the law

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.

forest fires in the area that were
crippling Taylor County's
economic base in the timber
industry. 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

Florida Forest Festival, has indeed

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,"

'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

The act also gives the county
the authority to impose an
one and one-half years old,

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.

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.

. Mama," Vincent can be seen today

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..
Vincent made her recording

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

Former resident questions power plant


-:Dear Editor: :
:Even though I've been gone from
S.Perry since the first half of the last
:century, I still go back for the ,
occasional visit, and try to catch up
with the news while I'm there.
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!

letter prompts

citizen reply

Dear Editor:
In response to Mike. 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.

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

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.

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

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

'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

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
