In a statement released'Tuesday, Dr. Natalie Whalen's attorney, Mar. F. Aspros said: "Perry educator, Dr. Natalie Whalen is finally exonerated. For almost four years, Dr. Whalen, former teacher's union president, has been defending herself against more than 15 serious charges of inappropriate conduct in the classroom, some dating back to as early as 1997. "The allegations were so serious that the Florida Department of Education was, at one' point, seeking to permanently revoke her teaching certificate. "On Aug. 25, however, the Education Practices Commission finally jruied and almost, completee, exonerated Dr. Whalen. The commission adopted the Sadministratih. law judge's recommended order which found that Dr. Whalen onlh isolated the principles of professional conduct, .concerning one minor instance. i when she admittedly drove, her .wheelchair into the back ,of a student's chair to reposition it. "For this -. conduct; the commission issued Dr. Whalen a letter of reprimand and placed her teaching certificate on:one-year of probation. "At' the Aug. 25 meeting. representatives from the SDepartment of Education attempted. unsuccessfully, to 'persuade the commission to increase the penalty to a 15-month suspension, of her teacher's certificate. "Dr. Whalen is relieved that this entire ordeal is finally over and she can go on with her life. "This decision comes on th heels of her win against the Tayli County ,School District. Th district attempted to terminate D Whalen for some of .the sam alleged conduct. "Ho,-weer, administrative la judge. Harry Hooper., dismiss that case outright and.ordered hi immediate reinstatement. To avoid extensive delays caused by th potential appeal of that decision b the Taylor County School Boar Dr. Whalen agreed to simple accept a.monetary settlement an submitted her letter of resignation "She is so happy to b exonerated and now just wants put this whole matter behind her Aspros added. Superintendent of Schools Osc Howard Jr. said Tuesda\. "Th .situation was unfortunate, but conclusion has been reached ar we're moving on to better thing things that .we do--educa , children." I.

Tasha Dione Driver, 26, was pronounced dead at Doctors' Memorial Hospital; a second victim, Frederick A. Stringfellow, 33, was transported to Shands Hospital in Gainesville for treatment. Both Driver and Stringfellow were ejected from a 1991 Chevrolet Traiblazer involved in the roll-over crash, which occurred around 11:30 a.m. Sunday. In a statement released by. the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), crash investigator Troop Jon Leohner related that the vehicle was southbound on Golf Course Road when it drifted to the. right, off the roadway. The driver over-corrected and lost control of the vehicle, which then rolled over onto its left side first, then went airborne to .the grass shoulder where it landed:: on its right side. "Although the names of the occupants are known, which of the two was: driving is not known and is still under investigation," Leohner said. Charges are pending. Funeral services for Driver will be held Thursday at Beggs Funeral'": Home. Survivors include her three children: Judas Suade Perez, Ariel:: Brooke Perez and Meagan Alexandra Stringfellow. (See obit on page A-6.): TCHS teen 'critical': after Sunday crash on A Taylor County High School senior is in a Tallahassee Hospital fighting sad for his life after being critically injured in a one-vehicle crash in Jefferson County Sunday morning, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report. Thomas Matthew Hooper, 17, was driving south on County Road 259 about 6 a.m., when he reached a sharp curve. Hooper was unable to make the curve because of the car's speed, FHP:" Corp. John L. Haire said. ' - The car then traveled off the road onto the east shoulder and hit a large:: 1 pine tree. FHP said the crash was alcohol-related and that Hooper was hot wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident. he- Hooper was taken to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital by Jefferson r.

Tallahassee emergency Management, has secured grants which give up to $1,800 to each family for living expenses, she.- said. There are no.plans to open a shelter locally, she added. With help from GT Com GUlfnet 'back on-line' Two local. Internet service providers found common ground last week when GT Comn helped fellow provider Gulfnet. affected by Hurricane Katrina, reconnect its customers to the Internet. Gulfnet Internet subscribers lost access to the Internet last week following Katrina's devastating landfall in Louisiana and Mississippi and the resulting floods in New Orleans, La. The problem, according to Mike McKinney with Gulfnet. is that his company uses Sprint telephone lines to connect to the Internet and its connection is routed through 'New Orleans, where the Sprint, facility is currently in 12 feet of. water. "We had thought that' Sprint would be back up in a few days." McKinney said. Instead, automated .messages told him Monday that there was ,no' estimated time for reconnection. "It said theZ haven't e\en been able to get into the facility yet." McKinney said Sprint has some 650 DS3 lines (direct communication lines) routed through New .Orleans. He estimated Gulfnet's bandwidth uses approximately 1/100th ,of one of these lines. Mid-week last week he was contacted by Donald Bowden with GT Com with an offer to help, McKinney said. Over the next several days, Bowden and Ken Parker in Perry, along with o.ther. GT 'Corn employees from as far away as Kansas and Texas, held conference calls to help Gulfnet hook into GT Come's service. -Please- see page 2 Help wanted: city manager The Perry City Council put the finishing touches onl, its advertisement .for a new city manager during a special meeting Thursday.

The park is scheduled to open Nov. 11, in honor of Veterans Day. -- A-2 The Taco Times September 7, 2005 At long last... Workers mobilize to begin sports complex Workers mobilized Tuesday morning at the future site of the Taylor County Sports Complex, marking the beginning of construction at the long-awaited facility. Slone Associates, a contractor from Valdosta, Ga., is in charge of the construction. Slone was selected as contractor for the project by the county commission in June with a $1,367,488 bid for Phase 1 of the project. According to a draft of the bid documents, Phase 1 construction 4 4 ..- -, ,- -; , A bulldozer moved dirt as construction begins on the Taylor County Sports Complex. Phase I of the project, which has been in the works for several years, will include soccer fields, parking and picnic pavilions. A state grant awarded earlier this year to the county will fund tennis courts, basketball courts and a playground at the complex. At the Booking Desk was to include: construction of U.S. 19 turn lanes, paved parking and roadways, soccer fields, storm water management facilities, picnic pavilions, irrigation and site lighting. The irrigation and lighting will be installed by MUSCO Lighting and Russell Daniels Irrigation, respectively, and the cost was not included in Slone's bid. Phase 1 was also to include, according to the draft, a maintenance building, a concessions/restroom building and an administrative building (which is already on-site). - During negotiations with Slone to reduce the cost of the project, the restrooms at the soccer fields were removed from Phase 1, according to County Administrator Buddy Humphries. A recently awarded $200,000 Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP) grant includes funding for, tennis courts, basketball courts, a picnic pavilion, a playground and parking areas, as well as restrooms, which will be built some 100 yards away from the fields, Humphries said. The lighting will be purchased from MUSCO on a three-year lease-to-own plan for an estimated $70,000 a year. Commissioner Malcolm Page pledged the remainder of his district paving funds, some $130,000, for paving at the complex. In the 2005-06 budget, $200,000 was included for Phase II construction on the complex.I At a special meeting, in early August, the commission decided to use $200,000 budgeted for Phase II in the 2005-06 budget to raise the money needed to ,begin Phase I construction. This will leave no money in the next year's budget for Phase II of the complex.

In a defensive battle that featured ,..numerous penalties on both teams, Taylor County's offense never seemed to get on track and the Bulldog defense gave up a,pair -.of touchdowns on short drives after fumbles by the offense and special teams. The Bulldogs showed little resemblance to the hard-hitting squad that defeated Chipley, 24-21 in the season-opener and the passing attack:fizzled after putting up impressive numbers (8 of 19, 181 yards, 1TD) in the first game of the year. Taylor County did manage to get its rushing attack on track after managing just 55 yards on the ground in the opener, as fullback Delvan Whetsel emerged as the 'Bulldogs' leading ball carrier, rushing 18 times for 85 yards. '.* However, Whetsel fumbled once ,to set up Chiles' second touchdown and QB Genario -McNealy (14 carries, 31 yards) fumbled four times and lost one, while completing just 2 of 8 passes for 47 yards and one interception. Fullback Shawn Padgett carried 5 times for 24'yards, while wingback Bryckoski Jackson finished with 18 yards oh 4 carries. Wingback Tony Powell 'had just three yards on two.carries and Gerald Walker lost four yards on his only carry. Powell's one catch went for 42 yards on the third play of the game and Sebastian Ingram (who caught four passes for 107 yards and a TD last week) had a single five-yard reception. McNealy was sacked twice and lost 20 yards on six tackles for losses as the Bulldog offense finished with 204 yards of total offense and .ere held without a single point while managing to penetrate the Chiles 30-yard line just twice-on the fist and last drives of the game. The. first driye ended 'at the Chile's 29 when McNealy fumbled on a 4th and 4 option play and the final drive ended on the Timberwolves' 29 with an incomplete pass as time expired. ' Chiles rushed 42 times for 166 yards and 3 TD's While completing 8 of 18 passes for 109 yards and one interception for a total of 275 yards. The Timberwolves fumbled five times, but lost only two and the Bulldogs were unable to capitalize. Taylor County's first offensive series' was marred by three illegal' motion penalties, as two players were. caught moving at the same, time prior to the snap. Padgett ran for five and McNealy scrambled 'for 10 yards before completing a 42-yard pass to Powell on 3rd and 5. A motion penalty put Taylor in a 1st and 15 hole and Padgett was held to no gain before Whetsel ran for five and McNealy ran an option keeper for six. However, on 4th and" 4 from the Timberwolves' 29, McNealy fumbled and recovered 'he ball oh another option play for no gain to give Chiles the ball. . Led by a huge, experienced offensive line and speedy tailback Darnell Jordan (21 carries. 114 yards, 2 TD's), Chiles picked up two first downs and moved into Taylor territory, but were hit with a penalty to force a punt midway through the first quarter. The Bulldogs began from their own 15 and Padgett busted up the 'middle for seven yards on back-to- : back fullback dives to set up a five-yard pass to Ingram for a first down. McNealy lost two ori an option keeper and Whetsel picked up 17 yards on four straight carries. An incomplete pass on 3rd and 5 forced injured kicker John Crowley to purt.

I can love my neighbor as.much as I love myself. 'I can use the resources and talents God has blessed me with to help others. It's time we stop making excuses about what we can't do, and just do what we can. My daddy would say "Can't never could do nothing!" We can help those in our own community who need help. We can start loving the unlovable in our community and ministering to those in need. We can start patterning our life after Christ; after all, that is what Christian means! As a young woman I read a book. called "In His Steps." Although the pathways of my life have taken many different directions, I have never forgotten that book. If all Christians truly pattern their lives according to what Jesus would do, there would be no orphaned children. The church would be taking care of widows, and feeding the hungry, and clothing the poor. We would be visiting those who are in prison, in nursing homes. and in hospitals. We are supposed to be going into every area of our community witnessing and bringing the lost to Christ. Many of our churches have become "religious social clubs." As long as it doesn't affect us personally we don't get involved and don't .really care about the human suffering going on around us. Jesus did not separate Christians into different denominations such -as Baptist, Methodist, etc. Man did that. I have looked and looked in my Bible and I cannot find where two heavens were created so we wouldn't have to associate with other races or less desirable people. One thing this disaster has done is put everyone on an even playing field. Everyone is in the same predicament. Neither those that have money, nor those that do not, can buy bread or water or other human necessities because the stores have been destroyed too! How awful it must be to walk through water in the dark, be without water and food'for several days, and have your child die in your arms because you cannot feed *, Please see page 3 Midweek Muddle Letters to the Editor .

I can send a contribution to help and even though it would be small, all the small ones together will definitely help. I am finally at a place in my life, that I have no one on this earth to impress.

Caroline Beach Barclay from the Gulf. Originally, it was planned for barge traffic all the way to Jacksonville. The Corps of Engineers was stopped due to public pressure wherein it was felt that barge traffic was outdated and trucks were the operation of the day. Using this canal, coal can be moved by barge from the Gulf to land. Thousands of acres of land are nearby where a coal plant can be located, thereby saving millions of dollars of land acquisition and delivery expense. After the Corps spent millions digging it, the canal is unused for its original purpose. There are pollutants other than air quality.

We are the worst gamblers! We gamble with our health and the health of our future generations. We don't really care for the young, the old or anyone else. We don't care about our God- given environment, our rare plants and animals. We can desecrate Indian mounds, the lands or our forefathers. We can pollute the rivers, lakes, streams, our own Gulf of Mexico. We can foul the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink. It's all in our power and our bank book. We, above all, can rob our citizens, our taxpayers, of their constitutional rights to vote on any given matter, without guilt or conscience. Are we not gamblers? Sinners? Yes, we are--and we are losing big time! But for the grace of God, this Hurricane Katrina could have wiped us out. Think about it.
