Lundy said that when he arrived, he determined that the man, .identified as Robert Cecil Rial, who lived.on Mixon Road, had just died.

Jeffrey Lee Davis Jr., 22, was the passenger in a 2000 Dodge van driven by David Carrillo, 27, from Immokalee, when the vehicle entered a curve on U.S. Hwy 19, approximately 11 miles north of Cross City. According to FHP Trooper E. Johnson, the van "failed to negotiatethe curve and left the roadway on the west shoulder, traveling several hundred feet on the grassy shoulder before coming back onto the roadway. "The driver over-corrected the vehicle as it came back onto the roadway, which caused it to begin.a clockwise rotation," he.added. "The van then left the highway again, colliding with a pine tree in the driver's door area. The vehicle sustained heavy crush damage into the passenger compartment. "Both the driver 'and front seat passenger were pronounced dead at the -scene by Dixie County Emergency Medical Services." Johnson said. "The preliminary investigation revealed that speed was a factor in the crash." Complete obituary information for Davis may befound on page A-5. For Steinhatchee boat ramp Commission focuses on two sites The search for potential sites to locate a boat ramp in Steinhatchee is focusing on county streets with access to the river. The county commission directed the Steinhaichee Boat Ramp Committee to have site surveys performed on two streets in the First grader finds cocaine at school A ".ime bag" of cocaine was found by a seven-year-old student at Perry Primary School last week. According to the Taylor County Sheriffs Office, the first grader said he found the drugs next to an empty desk in hts classroom. The student turned over the small pink baggie to his teacher, who called the school's dean. Deputy Darell Upshaw was dispatched to the school, along with Perry Police Department Sgt. Dodd Franklin and Ptl. Wesley Cooper. The white substance in the bag field-tested positive for cocaine and was seized by the officers. Contact was made with the child's parents. who said they had spoken with him about the dangers of drugs. Officers were unable to determine the source of drugs or how it came to be on school grounds. City Council eyes 'in house' consolidation The Perry City Council is eyeing a possible "in house" consolidation of its recreation and public works departments. Mayor Emily Ketring first brought the idea to the table during the council's Aug. 9 meeting and members \were expected to continue discussions on the tbpic Tuesday night. Initial reactions to the move were mixed, with council members in falor and department heads raising concerns. "We keep hearing how we are short in both departments so w hy not look at combining them and better utilize our resources." KeLring said. "If we did that, we'd have more staff and could stagger shifts as needed," Councilman Don Cook said. "And you could keep our equipment running longer with the same people," Ketring noted. "If you do that, then (Recreation Director Glenn Ratlitf) is gaining and I'm losing because you'll have my people doing Glenn's work." Public Works Director Barney Johnson said. "I think as a council what we are saying is we would like ICitl Manager Bill Brynes) to look at what we're asking and bring us back a recommendation," Cook said. That recommendation was to be discussed at the council's regular meeting Aug. 23. community. At last Tuesday's meeting, the commission was presented with a list of 10 streets in Steinhatchee and the cost for each survey. The boat ramp committee had given the commissioners the list of sites at its previous meeting, but had not included a price estimate for each. "The objective of the surveys is to find a location with the least impact on the community which allows the most parking," a committee member said at that meeting. County Administrator Buddy Humphries subsequently contacted Delta Land Surveyors. Inc., which pro ided the cost estimates. The streets on the list were: Founh Street West. $950; Third Street West, $950: Second Street West. $400: Main Street, $950; Second Street East, $1.150; Thirteenth Street East, $600: Fourteenth Street East, $950; First Avenue South, $600; Central Avenue, $600; and First Avenue North; $600. The cost, of ihe ten surveys totaled $8,300. Commissioner Clay Bethea, whose district includes Steinhatchee, objected to'several of the streets on the'list. S"Some of these are not feasible," he said He then made a motion to fund the surveys, excluding Main Street, Thirteenth Street East, Fourteenth Street East and Central Avenue. Commissioner Malcolm Page. seconded the motion and Commissioner Jack Brown called for discussion. Brown said that Attorney Mike Smith had contacted him, stating that in his research of past board minutes he had found that several roads in the Steinhatchee Area had been closed and abandoned by the county in years past, particularly several in 1939, which were still on. the maps as county property. "I don't want to pay for surveys if I don't know if I own .the land," Brown said. Ways to conduct the research necessary to determine which roads, if any, had been abandoned by the county were discussed, including using the services of the newly hired planning board attorney,'John N. Weed. The commission decided to hire a firm to conduct title searches on the streets on'the committees list. Commission Chairman Daryll Gunter suggested limiting the search two or three sites and have the committee choose their top options. During the discussions, Bethea's motion was amended several times and the commissioners decided it .* Please see page 3. :Documentary- screening -. .All eyesJ.ere.on the big screen Thursday evening during a special presentation of the c-.iocumeritary "Kilowatt Ours--A Plan to Re-Energize America."

Coastal group takes shape STaylor County's new coastal management committee came a step closer to fruition last week when commissioners agreed, on several details about the committee's form. Commissioner Clay Bethea, who first proposed the committee at the board's June 20 meeting, suggested it have seven members. Each commissioner would designate one member and two more would be chosen by the board as a whole from an at-large pool of candidates. Several members of the public spoke out about the committee, most expressing concerns that the committee would not include enough people from the coastline. Commissioners responded that they would like to see the board consisting of people representing 'I think the coastline is a big enough issue to have someone out there looking just at that. '-Bethea the various coastal communities in the county, including Steinhatchee, Keaton Beach, Econfina and Spring Warrior. The committee would have no pqier to make rules or regulations itself and would instead advise the board on issues pertaining to the coast, commissioners said when: questioned. It would also 'have to function under Florida Sunshine Laws. The commission agreed to Bethea's design and said they would bring the names of their designees to the board's next meeting, Tuesday, Sept. 6. The coastal committee was created after Commissioner Clay: Bethea told the board of a 1969 Legislative Act giving Taylor County the right to create a port authority to manage its coastline. The wording as well as the age of the act raised questions, and the commission decided to instead create the coastal committee. "There's a plethora of issues down there," Bethea said at the June 20 meeting. "I think the coastline is a big enough issue to have someone out there looking just at that."

DR. DOBSON: My answer may sound like heresy coming from a man who spert 10 years of his life as a professor of pediatrics, responsible for medical and behavioral research, but I don't believe the scientific community is capable.of determining the best parenting techniques. There have been some worthwhile studies, to be sure, but the subject of discipline almost defies definitive investigation. Why? Because the only way to study this topic scientifically would be to'place newborns randomly in "permissive" vs. "disciplined" families, and then, keep them under close observation for 10 or 15 years. Since it is impossible. to do that, researchers have tried to tease out information where they could find it. But family relationships are so *multidimensional and complicated that they almost defy rigorous scrutiny..Indeed, most of the studies reported in the literature are scientifically useless. For example, Dr. David Larson, 4:'a psychiatrist and formerly a researcher at the National Institutes of Health, reviewed 132 articles in professional journals that purported to investigate the long-term consequences of 'corporal punishment. He found most of them flawed in design. Ninety percent of the studies failed to distinguish between good homes where spanking was :administered by' loving parents, and those bordering on (or actually ' inflicting) child abuse. This distinction is critical for obvious reasons. Dr. Larson concluded that the findings were.invalidated by this failure to consider the overall health of family relationships. To repeat, the consequences of various approaches to parental discipline appear to be beyond the reach of social research. It is simply not possible to study this complex subject scientifically without warping families to set up the research design. Even if such studies were conducted, the researchers would be studying contrived families, not typical parent-child relationships. s OCUS on The FarmiLy Parenting: what works, what doesn't By James Dobson At Temple of God Enrolled, eligible kids entitled to free meals The Temple of God Child Development Center, Inc., announces its participation in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Child Care Food Program.

I- ns ,, r -- -s J1 nn~ka~-l Sports Stop Jasper 15-0; fall to Mayo 22-12 A-6 The Taco Times August 24,2005 'Dogs 'impressive' in pre-season games By AARON PORTWOOD The new-look Taylor County B.Iulldogs opened the 2005 campaign with a pre-season "Kickoff Classic" jamboree in Mayo that could be best described as the "tale of two halves." The Bulldogs sat out the first half of the three-team jamboree and watched as Hamilton County defeated. Lafayette County, 12-6. Taylor then suited up against Hamilton County and dominated the Trojans, 15-0. However, the Bulldogs seemed to fade in the intense August heat, falling in their second half of play against the Lafayette, County Hornets, who used a powerful rushing attack to pound Taylor County, 22-16. All three teams finished tied with identical 1-1 records. (One interesting note: both teams that played back-to-back halves, lost the second half to the more rested, fresher team). In all, it was an impressive pre- season outing for the Bulldogs and first-year Head Coach Price Harris, who came into the Kickoff Classic .without the benefit of spring conditioning drills or a. spring Jamboree. 'Taylor was also playing without three senior starters, who each ~missed a workout session and therefore did' not travel with the team. True to his word before the game, Coach Harris saw that all 30 players' received significant playing time and alternated first and second team units on each ,possession, regardless of the-score or situation. QB Genario McNealy (6-1, 192- pound senior) looked especially sharp in' his 2005 debut, completing 5 of his 7 passes for 79 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions in addition to r iaing four times"J'6r 79 yards ;and another iouchdow\in. SMcNealy looked comfortable -running the Bulldogs' new :"Flexbone"' triple option offensive attack arid put added.pressure on Ithe defense by rolling out and hitting receivers on the run. Senior wingback Tony Powell (5-11, 175 Ibs.) alsb emerged as an offensive threat, contributing remarkable plays in both halves. including a 33-pard kickoff return and a 55-yard touchdown run against Hamilton, as well as a 34- yard TDcatch against Mayo. SThe Bulldogs' rushing attack,. which exploded for 165 yards and 2 TD's in the win over Hamilton-- before faltering for just 32 yards on 12 carries in the loss to Lafayette-saw 10 different players carry the ball. McNealy led the way with 4 carries for 79 yards and 1 TD,, followed by Powell (3 carries for 62 yards and a TD), junior fullback Delvan Whetsel (5 carries, 20 'yards), freshman wingback Bryckoski Jackson (1 carry for 20 yards), who had a 60- yard touchdo% n run called back on a holding penalty in the first half against Hamilton. Sophomore Greg Snead finished with 4 carries for 13 yards, followed by senior fullback Marvin Britt (2 carries, 7 yards), senior fullback Shawn Padgett (2 'carries, 2 yards), junior fullback Gerald Walker (2 carries, 0 yards), Carl Padgett (1 carry) and back-up QB Marquis Ellis, who struggled with the snap exchange and lost six yards on four carries, including two fumble recoveries. In adglition to Powell's four catches for 70 yards (including a two-point conversion pass from ; Shawn Padgett), Jamar. McIntyre hauled in a nine-yard'catch and Sebastian Ingram had a beautiful .,0-yard interception return for a touchdown against Lafayette in which he baited the QB to throw the ball andr broke in front of the intended receiver. The Bulldogs defense looked intimidating in the first half of action against Hfamilton; holding the Trojans to just 45 yards of Total offense .(all rushing). Hamilton managed 45 yards on 19 carries (2.4 yards per carry) and went 0 for 4 passing, including a pass deflection by .Zach Bradshaw. : "Led :by junior linebacker Jake. i' Meacham (5-11, 188 lb: junior 'linebacker), the Taylor County defense swarmed on Hamilton County ball carriers and harassed the Trojan QB. Defensive lineman Cole Revels (6-1, 195 lb. senior), linebacker Delvan Whetsel (6-2, 194 lb. junior), defensive lineman Drew Southerland (6-0, 202 lb. junior), Marvin Britt (6-1, 233 lb. senior), Shawn Padgett (5-10, 176 lb. senior) and the defensive line delivered some stinging hits and wrapped up well in the shutout of Hamilton. The Trojans managed to cross midfield only once on offense and that was when the Bulldogs gave Hamilton the ball at the Taylor 37-yard line due to a bad snap over punter John Crowley's head. Taylor had more trouble with the deep snapping later in the game against Mayo, when 'another high snapped sailed over Crowley and out of the endzone for a safety that helped Lafayette-who had just scored to pull ahead, 7-6--quickly take a16-6 lead. Taylor took control of Hamilton early, with Powell's 33-yard kickoff return and Jackson's 60- yard TD run that was called back. Powell caught a 24-yard pass and took an option pitch 55 yards for a touchdown twoplays later to give Taylor a 6-0 lead. Powell'also caught the two-point pass to make it 8-0. - The Taylor defense forced, Hamilton to punt and the Bulldogs had trouble moving the ball before a bad snap gave the Trojans good field position at the Taylor 42-.ard line. The Dogs' defense came up big, forcing a fumble that Taylor recovered on first down, but an "inadvertent whistle" ruled the play dead and negated the turnover. The Bulldog defense responded as Meacham made two big tackles for a loss and Hamilton turned the ball over on a 4th and 19 play from the Bulldogs'-32. On the very next, play McNealy faked a hand-off and looked off a defender before tucking the ball for a 68-yard TD run. Crowley's kick gave Taylor a 15-0 lead and Meacham recovered a fumble on the Trojans' second play. Taylor gaVe Crowley two long field goal attempts (34 and 60 yards) late in the half, but both were low or short, as the Bulldogs struggled ith their special teams ,snaps and holds. The Bulldogs looked to pick up where they left off in the second half with Lafayette-reco ering a fumble afterNMayo had picked up a first down on their first possession. Two big runs by Whetsel set up a nine-yard pass and a 34-yard TD pass from McNealy to Powell. The two-point play failed to give Taylor a 6-0 lead. The rested Mayo offense took over from there, ripping off long runs of 53 and 21 yards before scoring on a one-yard plunge to pull ahead 7-6. The bad punt snap gave Mayo a safety, a 9-6 lead and the ball, which the Hornets quickly marched to the endzone in six plays with a bruising ground attack. Trailing 16-6, the Bulldogs could move the ball and had to punt, but'Ingram gave Taylor a boost by scoring on defense with the highlight-reel interception return for a touchdown with 1:16 to play in the third quarter to pull the Bulldogs within 16-12. Mayo ground out the clock and wore down the Bulldog defense with a long drive, riding the backs of huge running backs Eric MdIntyre and Morgan Rutherford, before.- punting, but Taylor 'couldn't mount an attack and failed to pick up a first down from their own 20. Another Bulldog punt gave Mayo the ball and the Hornets scored five plays later on a 37-yard TD run by Rutherford to seal the 22-12 win. , Taylor County will open'the regular season this Friday night at home against the Chiple\ Tigers in their first home game of the .year'at 7:30 p.m. Shawn Padgett (20) prepares to take a handoff from QB Genario McNealy (7) during action Thursday night.

"Getting exposure to rural medicine is an excellent learning experience for young physicians," Khodr said. "Medicine is more difficult to practice in a rural setting as opposed to a large metropolitan area because there are few, if any, sub-specialists read ly available to assist you in diagnosing and treating your patients." He added, "Therefore, physicians need to know more, study more and expose themselves to more than just their primary specialty. Perry offers an excellent location to enhance the learning experience of these young physicians. Maybe I can even convince one of them to stay." "I applaud Dr. Khodr's actions; it will be great having these young physicians rotating through the hospital," DMH CEO Rick Brown said. "I believe, as Dr. Khodr does, that it will enhance their residency experience by being exposed to how medicine is practiced in the real world of rural medicine. It is also an excellent opportunity for us to show off our new hospital, show off Perry as a great location to practice medicine and the exciting future of Taylor County's , growth potential. It's a win-win situation...especially if we can convince some of the residents to stay and start their own medical practice here. Dr. Khodr should be congratulated for initiating this program," Brown said. Calling all former queens...

He's back Dear Editor: Hello. My name is Harvey "Scott" Jordan IIl. I am 19 years old and a longtime Perry resident. I'm currently incarcerated at Charlotte Correctional Institution, a Florida state prison, doing a six- year sentence for a vehicle theft spree which I committed in March, 2003. I then escaped from the Taylor. County Jail in July, 2003. I'm sure you probably recognize my' name, because 1 was constantly in the Perry paper the- whole year-:of' 2003. My letter is directed to mother teens who are going down a one- way street to nowhere. I would like to reach out to these adolescent teens and explain to them that the road they're taking isn't worth it, because I don't want anyone to make the same mistakes I have and end up coming to prison :and experience the same things I have.r I've been behind prison bars for two and a half years; I'm about five land a half hours away from my family, friends and loved ones; and still won't be able to see'any of' them for another three and a half years. I've been through a lot since I've been here. This prison that I'm currently in is classified to be the. second worst prison in Florida and I would really hate to see another teen walk through these doors. So if you cah, please publish this for. me. SPerry youth hopes to ,steer teens away from a life of crime SIn today's world of fast cais, fast. money, fast, women, media hype and drugs. youth adolescence is quickly being lost to the streets of law breaking, violence and gangs. I am one youth trying to reach out to teens from a correctional institution to give insight on a road that will lead to nowhere. I am in my last year of teenhood --"the wonder years." At 19 years of age, I am being held at Charlotte Correctional Institution. But loday I have a message for teens going down that road to nowhere. Even before the movie "Gone in 60 Seconds." 1 was stealing cars and always looking for a way 'to make quick cash. 'I could be any - leen in any town or county. It's no different in the city or the country; drugs are everywhere and since I was 14 years old. I've been, drinking. doing drugs and joined a gang--most of which I started doing after my parents' divorce. I don't think it'was to rebel; I just got caught up in the wrong crowds and started watching too many violentt gang and mob movies.

How do they intend to bring in (he coal? Trucks cost 'too much. Rail will take more wetlands. What about the other chemicals that they will,bring in with their. coal'? How many wells will they drill? How much water will they need? What: are theygoing to do with the waste? Why do they need a 3000-acre buffer'? What is going to happen that they need that, much? " Yes, you can pollute our water, air and food. But safer sources of pow er exist, such as solar, gas and wind. So what is driving the need to pollute Taylor County? Maybe, they will, hire locals, you think, and that will somehow make it okay. You 'know better than that. Can we not learn anything from past experience with Buckeye and the prisons? Think, Taylor County. Question your leaders. Demand answers. Sarah Paris Pilot thanks Taylor's 'superb ambassadors' Dear Editor: Of Sunday, Aug. 7, this old pilot was forced by bad weather to land his aircraft with its three lady passengers at Perry-Foley Airport to wait out the storm's passage. The field was deserted except for the presefice of the Taylor County Fire & Rescue squad on duty there. The squad consisted of Lt. Darien Brown, Firefighter Cliff Suber and Firefighter Chad Arrendale. These gallant gentlemen gave us shelter from the thunderstorm, and they made sure we were comfortable during our three-hour unscheduled lay-over. They acted in keeping with the proud heritage of the Maltese Cross they all wear. Not only that, but they were superb ambassadors for the friendliness and hospitality of Perry and Taylor County.

B-3 The Taco Times August 24, 2005 BI noneyar5,00 sose Dear Editor: The "meeting to address power plant issue" was a farce. If the group in attendance was any indication of the individuals against the power plant, they have nothing better to do. Approximately 15 ladies from here in Perry were present. The gentleman from Panama City needs to stay there and help clean up his own area. One gentleman said he had never been below Orlando, and the others from Tallahassee, who knows? The two of us for the plant were Quiette's service to others saluted Dear Editor: The Steinhatchee Community Projects Board, Inc., wishes to express condolences to the family, of Rosa Lea Quiette.

The students worked very hard all week and were able to enjoy nice meals each evening as a result of your generosity. : TCHS Band Boosiers; quickly made to feel unwelcome. I spoke to one lady about asbestos and its dangers. She obviously didn't know and didn't care. When I spoke about 'the turbine windmills and ecology, the answer was, "So what?" These people worry about the food we eat, the water we drink, etc. You consume the sugar from the fields which have caused the destruction of the Florida Everglades by mercury. What are you eating? The fields in Southern Florida produce most of the produce we eat, not to mention Mexico and Central America. What are you ingesting? Our coal-powered electric plants of today are safe--far more safe than the food we eat and the destruction of the ecology around us. My daughter once said, "Everything we eat, drink or breathe has a potential for our health, yet life goes on." The little-to-no emission from a coal-powered plant will not hurt us, much less the emission from nuclear plants here in Florida. I'm 72 years old and have lived a healthy life for which I thank God. I enjoy life and don't sit dormant. Thank God for what He has given you. It's because of God's will for progress that we are a free county. I have traveled across this great county, and wherever you go, there are problems. But we're still here. Ladies and gentlemen, wake up and live. You might actually see the beautiful side of life. Anita Baker Wanted: clean industry Dear Editor: Two score and eleven years ago, the good people of Taylor County allowed the Fenholloway River and all the underground waters near it, to be polluted for all time. This to bring industry to Taylor County! Okay, I agree that the county needed jobs. The big lumber mills had cut out all the timber, both here and in the Everglades! They were through, with us and we were fed to the wolves...hence the expression "cut and run!" Procter and Gamble built Buckeye Cellulose and stunk up, the county, ruined the land and \water, but they provided good- paying jobs! Give them credit for paying good wages, some young Smen went to work there and retired 30 years later, wealthy or at least very .comfortable. This is wonderful, but look at the cost to our environment. Last.year, some men came here and tried to convince the people that having a bomb/missile range located here would be great. I am !: .s thankful-th the aood people of Taylor County saw through this deceitful scheme, and sent these men back to Fort Walton. Now, we are once again set upon to allow another polluter to come amongst us. What a terrible precedent we set when we allowed the Fenholloway to be polluted 50-plus.years ago! They think we still do not care about our land and water!! Now is the time for all good men and women to stand pp and tell the polluters to go elsewhere. We need good clean industry. We so not need more pollution! Take your coal-fired electric plant to Tallahassee or Jacksonville where they want the electricity and will get the use:of it. None of the electricity it produces will come to Taylor County; it will not lower our electric bills and will only provide a very few local jobs. Our clean air, water and environment are much more important. County' commissioners,' are you listening? Sam H. Duckworth i-,-,; .I MSgtT S.AF Rei. BIG BEND HOSPICE Need Contact Lenses?

Florida Times-Union caught my eye: "EPA sets out plan for ash clean-up:..but city has t9 pay $100 million bill." So why didn't the North Florida Power Project just stay in Duval. County--if, indeed, it is so great? Does this. answer a lot of questions? 'The article quotes one resident stating, "We don't want our community to be laid fallow by contamination." 'I:_ remember moving to Jacksonville for ny first realjob, from Madison County. The year was. 1943, during World War II. (We had no pollution in Madison -or -aylor.) I smelled, for the first time. a pulp mill. I asked my aunt, "Do they have outhouses in Duval County?". As forjobs, I saw no mention, of 150 jobs for Taylor County and, if indeed there are any, we're looking at 2012 Don't wait for them, if you have to feed a family. They'll starve to death. -:If they want to help Taylor County for their pollution,' they can paj their own taxes. Why, should the citizens of Taylor -ounty pick up their "tab" for thousands of acres? SAs for you commissioners, who \oied unanimously\ in favor of a power plant (we, the people, did not have a vote), it's our county, our country too. You are. not "dictators" to us, but "servants" of the people. Wevoted you in, and pay your salaries. Shame on you; you do not have the right to rob us of out constitutional right to vote! I can see where a lot of people will get rich, but. not us. Jobs and dividends. I can't believe it. So, breathe the fresh air while you can.
