Citizens take stand on power plant


Nearly a third of thosq'attending
Thursday's four-hour public
hearing took the podium to voice
criticism, concern and support for a
$1.5 billion coal-fired power plant
planning to locate here.
Of the 45 speakers, just over half
(28) were Taylor County residents;
the remaining speakers hailed from
Leon, Madison and Franklin
counties.
Chairman Daryll Gunter, who
served as moderator, asked
everyone to. address their
comments to the'Board of County


,Demand


for power


is growing

'...reliable power at
an affordable price in
an environmentally
responsible manner.'
--Mike Lawson, JEA
Three speakers representing the
North Florida Power Group told
the estimated 150 people gathered
here Thutsday about the group's
plans to ,construct an 800
megawatt coal-fired power 'plant
on a 3,200-acre site east of
Buckeye.
The hearing, held in the Taylor
County Middle School
Auditorium, was sponsored by the
county commission.
With the. assistance of a slide
presentation, Project Manager
Mike Lawson said the group's
mission was to provide "reliable
power at an affordable price in an
environmentally responsible
manner. "
Lawson said more than 400,000
people moved to Florida last year
and projections indicate that trend.
will continue.
"To meet that growth, Florida's
utilities need to add approximately
two major power plants every
Yearr" he said.
Lawson said the Florida Public
Service Commission is concerned
about future electricity supplies
and rates.
The commission has encouraged
Florida utilities to look more
closely at coal (instead of natural
gas) for generating plants, he said.
"OPEC is not going to set the
price of this fuel, Americans are,"
Lawson said..
Lawson said over the past 15
years, most power plants built in
Florida have 'been natural gas
plants. But, he added, that natural
gas prices have skyrocketed over,
,the past five years and are
projected to remain high compared
to other fuels.
"Fuel is a straight pass through
on our customers' electric bills,
and the fuel charge, as a proportion
of the total electric bill, has been
Growingg" he said.
He said two other Florida
utilities are currently planning to
build coal-fired plants., Seminole
Electric is planning to add'a third
unit to its plant in Putnam County
and Florida Power & Light Co. is
proposing two coal units in South
, Florida.
He said four utilities
-rcpresenting 18 Florida cities are
participating in the Taylor County.
project.
Those. include: the Florida
Municipal Power Agency, a
wholesale supplier to 15
community-owned. electric
utilities; JEA, serving Jacksonville
and parts of !three' adjoining
counties; :Reedy Creek
Improvement District; which
'serves parts of Orange and.
Osceola counties and Tallahassee.,
He said one-third of the plant's
$1.5 billion estimated cost will be
spent on environmental controls.

Car strikes motorcycle



Allbritton 'critical' after crash


Brian Allbritton, 42, is listed in
critical, but stable condition after
being hit by a car while riding to
work on his i 2002 Yamaha'
motorcycle Saturday morning.
The crash occurred around
7 a.m. at the intersection of
Highway U.S. 19 and Slaughter
Road.
According to Florida Highway
Patrol (FHP) Trooper Gus


Smyrnios, a 1995 Isuzu SUV
driven by Kaycee Stewart, 22, was,
traveling north on Highway 19 and
turned left on Slaughter Road.
"The. car hit the motorcycle on
the left side, ejecting the driver,"
Smvrnios said.
Allbritton was wearing a helmet
at the time of the crash; he
sustained severe injuries to his left
leg, which was amputated above


the knee Monday.
Stewart, who survived a July 22
crash which claimed her husband
of one month, Ross Stewart, was
charged with making an improper
left turn.
A passenger in the car with her,
Kenny Massey, wag charged with
having an open container of
alcohol.
"Stewart was, not intoxicated,at


the time of the crash. She passed
the field sobriety test and told me
she had stopped drinking alout 10
p.m. 'the night before. Her
passenger (Massey) fold me, they
were arguing at the time of the
wreck. Stewart told me she did not
see him (Allbritton)," Smyrnios
said.
Neither Stewart nor Massey
sustained any injuries in the crash.

'Why take a picture of a
mountain? It's always
going to be there, right?'
--Kilowatt Ours
A group of area residents
opposed to the coal-fired power
plant proposed for Taylor County
gave a presentation during the
public hearing on the issue held
Thursday.
The majority of their time they
devoted to the film "Kilowatt
Ours," a documentary by Jeff
Barrle and an official selection at
both the Freedom Cinema Festival
and the Activist Film Festival this
.ear
Barrie, who directed the film,
also stars in and serves as narrator
for "Kilowatt Ours."
The film lists the dangers of air
pollution and mercury resulting
from coal-fired power plants and
urges people not only to oppose
the construction of new plants, but
also to conserve energy and move
to "green" energy sources to
eliminate the need for plants
already built. More than 50 percent
of the energy produced in this
country is from coal, Barrie said.
"Kilowatt Ours" began in the
mountains of West Virginia where
the coal is first mined. There
Barrie spoke with a local man
trying to protect the mountain he
lived on while mourning the
mountains nearby already lost.
In the film, as the pair looked
down at mining operations, the
resident regretted never taking a
photograph of the mountain that
once stood there.
"Why take a picture of a
mountain? It's always going to be
there, right?" he said.
The film then moved to the
Southeastern United States, where
Barrie says 10 cities are among the
worst polluted in the country.
"One in 10 .women who are.
pregnant have dangerous levels of
mercury," Barrie said. "The largest
source of mercury is coal power
plants.
"Air pollution leads to increased
asthma in children and lung

Midday wreck
A midday two-vehicle crash sent one woman to Doctors' Memorial- Hospital for treatment
yesterday (Tuesday). The crash occurred in front:of the post office, strewing wreckage into the,
northbound lanes, causing vehicles to use the post office entrance and exit to go around until
clean-up crews could clear the road. DMH Emergency Medical Services personnel EMT Chris
Williams (shown above) and Paramedic Laura Guy treated the injured at the scene.


The county commission formally adopted its budget for the 2005-06
fiscal year Monday night in the second of two public hearings on the issue.
The total budget for the county is $33,636,585, an almost seven percent
increase over the previous year.
Commissioners first voted to set the millage rates, 8.076 mills for the"
general fund and 1.276 mills for the MSTU fund, keeping both at their
present levels.
While tax rates will not be raised, the rise in property values over the
past year is expected to bring in $1.3 million in additional revenues for the
general fund and $178,000 in the MSTU fund.
The MSTU fund is for county services such as fire and animal control
which are duplicated by city services, and can only be funded by a separate
tax on citizens in the unincorporated area of the county.
The increase in revenues will be used for the increased cost of operations
for the county, including salaries and benefits increases, new positions and

development. Asthma is the
number one reason for school
absences."
Barrie then offered various ways
to reduce the amount of coal
needed by using energy more
efficiently and using "green
energy" such as wind, solar and
geothermal.
Reducing the energy output of a
home can be as easy as replacing
incandescent light bulbs with
florescent ones or buying new
"Energy Star" appliances, Barrie
said.
The film also described how
cities and school districts are also
moving toward energy efficiency.
The school district in Sumner
County, Tenn., spent $24 million
for new lights, a geothermal
system and other energy-saving
devices, saving them more than $1
million per year in power bills.
One of the companies
spotlighted as working toward
'"green" energy sources is

that in our community."
Whitfield then introduced Dr.
Julia St. Petery, a pediatrician
who has practiced in Tallahassee
for the past 29 years.
"I really never wanted to know
anything about coal-fired power
plants," Petery said.


"I read in the Tallahassee paper
this morning about the land deal
and I felt so strongly about this
issue and how it relates to my
patients, that I came anyway."
"Asthma is the disease I see
most. When .I finished training in
Gainesville, it was rare to see

MSTU increased for firefighters


A-5 The Taco Times September 21,2005


BUDGET
' Continued from page 1
departments and other operating
costs such as fuel, according to
County Finance Director Tammy
Taylor.
Recurring expenditures in the
general fund are projected to exceed
recurring revenue by $93,000.
This shortfall will be balanced
with cash reserves.
Compared to the size of the
budget, this amount is small and
:will most likely be made up by
some departments coming in under
budget, Taylor said.
In the general fund, salaries and
benefits are set to increase
$226,000, operational costs by
$336,000 and constitutional
officers requests by $916,000.
New departments in the general
fund include a management
information systems department, a
new inmate crew and operational
costs for the Taylor County
Sports Complex.
In the MSTU fund, recurring
expenditures increased by
$320,000 ard exceed recurring
revenue by $147,000.. This
shortfall will also be balanced by
reserves, Taylor said.
Some $160,000 in the MSTU


reserves has been earmarked for
the purchase of a new fire truck.
The most significant increase in
MSTU expenditures, according to
Taylor, is for the county fire
department, in which salaries and
benefits increased 46 percent.
This includes the addition of
three new firefighter positions for
the beaches area and Steinhatchee,


at the cost of approximately
$150,000.
Commissioner Jack Brown
made a motion to adopt the budget
at Monday's meeting with
Commissioner Pat Patterson
seconding. The budget was
approved in a 4-0 vote.
Commissioner Clay Bethea was
not present, having been called out
of state.'


Co-workers praise Hooper


HOOPER
Continued from page 1,
they work with Hooper. "He also
broke a leg and had numerous
other injuries."
Jeremy Hartman, a former co-
worker and family friend said
yesterday (Tuesday) that Hooper is
in stable condition, improving
Every day.
"He is breathing on his own,"
Hartman said. "Now that his lungs
have stopped bleeding and are
sealed, the doctors were able to
take the ventilation tubes out.
"He's not quite out of the coma
yet, but he responds slightly when
he hears a voice that is familiar


and opens his eyes a little bit.
You an tell he's trying to focus."
Hooper's co-workers praised
Hooper in his work ethics.
"He is one of our technicians,"
said Wilson. "He's a great worker,
reliable....customers like him very
much. He's a lot of fun to be
around."
Ann Hartman agreed.
"Thomas is very athletic and in
excellent shape," she said. "He's a
genuinely nice guy. Everyone
likes' him--here at work and at
school. He's doing better now, but
everyone still needs to pray. It's
going to be a long road. to
recovery."

W A rejuvenated Taylor County
l-igh football team travels to
aernon this Friday night to take
bn one of the top Class 2B teams
In the state.
5 The 2-1 Bulldogs are back at
Full strength after an open date
,while Vernon may be still reeling
'from its last-second, 21-18 defeat
3o number two-ranked Class 2B
_Blountstown.
S"Vernon (3-1) is by far the best
team we have faced this season,"
-Taylor County Coach Price Harris
said. "They are big, strong and
fast. We can't really match up with
".hem so we're just going to have to
-et after them."
The first-year Bulldog coach

features 'a 6-4 left-handed
quarterback who has thrown for
more than 8,000 yards in his-
career.
"They also have a 220-pound
running back who will be hard to'
stop." the coach said.
Look for Vernon to run out of
the "I" formation as well as the
shotgun.
On defense, Vernon runs a 5-3
set similar to TCHS scheme.
"They depend a lot on speed for.
.the defense to be successful," he
said.
.Harris said the Bulldogs' 2-1
start to the 2005 campaign has
been nice but they still have a
way to go.
"There are no more easy games


on our schedule. We are getting
close to the district portion of our
schedule and, hopefully, our kids
'ill step up to meet the
challenge," he said.
Harris said during the off'week
his team has worked on its special
teams. The Bulldogs have given
up several big returns in their last
few outings. ,
"Our kids have been working
hard but we've got to find the ones
who want to make the tackles," he
said. .
The Bulldogs will lojd the bus
for the three and a half hour trip to
Vernon about 1 p.m. Friday.
Kickoff for the contest. which is
in the central time zone, is at 8

Record improves to 3-1


TCMS plays 2 games in 5 days


_The Taylor County Middle
-School football team had to play
.wo games in five days, but came
6ut of the fray 1-1, 3-1 on the
.eason.
Quincy handed the Bulldogs
their first loss of the season on
Sept. 8 by a 22-7 margin but
TCMS battled back from the
defeat last week with a 34-7
thrashing of Ft. White.


In the Quincy contest, the 'Dogs
fell behind early 14-0 due to
turnovers and big plays.
"I think we were a little
intimidated when they stepped off
the bus because of their size and it
showed in our play," Coach Dale
Brewer said.
TCMS came out after halftime
with a different attitude, holding
Quincy to three and out then
taking the ball on offense and

Ty Crow ley's 20 yard pass to
Kelvin Bellamy narrowed the
score to 14-7 with Crowle's kick.
But once again, mistakes cost
the 'Dogs as Quincy intercepted a
pass late in the game and returned
it for a touchdown to make the
final 22-7. .
The Bulldogs got back on track

play from scrimmage only to have
the play called back on a penally.
But TCMS drove do\ n the field
anyway with Belamy scoring on a

The Bulldog defense played
strong all night as Ft. White could
not move the ball.

Crowley booted two extra points.
Dennis Dailey and Isaac Nelson
each had interceptions to lead the
Bulldog defense.
Possible\ one of the highlights of
the game was a missed field goal
by the Bulldogs in the second
quarter. Crowlev's 50-yard
attempt had the distance but was
just wide left.
"I think everyone in the stadium
was amazed and actually pulling
for it to go through. It is just
phenomenal that a middle schooler
can even get close from that
distance." Brewer said.
The coach reported that every
player on his near 80-man roster
saw action last week.
"We still made a couple of
mistakes but we have an open
week before playing Madison so
hopeful \\e can get it all worked
out," he said.

Letters tohe Editor


Are you perplexed by officials 'apathy'?


Dear Editor:
A May 31, 2005, press release
issued by National Institutes of
Health. National Institute of,
Environmental Health Science (see
http://wwv.niehs.nih.go oc news'
diabetes.htm) note that "people
with diabetes may be a higher risk
of cardiovascular problems when
air pollution levels are higher." The
press release stated that the ability
of the blood vessels to control
blood flow was impaired in adults
with diabetes on days with elevated
levels of particles from traffic and
coal-burning power plants.
The ;researchers evaluated
several kinds of fine particles
found in air pollution, vWhich
included sulfate particles which
i-come mainly from coal-burning
power plants. As noted in the press
release:
S"Our strongest finding was that
blood vessel reactivity was
impaired in people with diabetes
on days when concentrations of'
.sulfate particles and black carboii
were higher." said Marie O'Neil,
Ph.D., an epidemiologist now with
Robert Wood Johnson Health &
Society. Scholars program? at
University of Michigan and lead
author on the study. "Impaired

prays' foi
Dear Editor:
It was a Friday afternoon, Sept.
2, 2005.
Four days ago, on Monday,
Hurricane. Katrina had hit, the
.Mississippi, Alabama and
Louisiana Gulf Coast. As though
the coast had spurned and scorned
this woman, Katrina moved ashore
in the style of Solomon's Proverb,
pouring her fury out on these
states, making history as a terrible
category five hurricane. Her hell
placed New Orleans in particular
and the coastal areas east, in the
past tense, as towns that used to
exist, but now did not.
We lived in Pascagoula, Miss.,
and had evacuated my invalid
mother, 340 miles east, to Taylor
County, and my beloved Perry,
home of my ancestors, and like
' home to me.: We were on this day,
buying out Wally World and
preparing to transport it to
Pascagoula, so our families and
friends could have food and water.
The potatoes were too high, so we.
went to Winn Dixie, in search of a
better deal. While there, I saw the
van, with a sign that read,
:"Hurricane Relief for Ocean
Springs and Yazoo City,
Mississippi. Please donate."
I drove over to the l1dN \% ho was
collecting the goods, found out she
was a Taylor County teacher (Ms.
Kreidler) and said, what about all
:of us in Pascagoula? She asked
where it was and from there
developed a marvelous thing.
I noticed she had a few things in
the van, and she'said they were
,going to drive it out. She figured
she could drive to Ocean Springs
and Yazoo City in about 7 hours,
but. she was worried about gas. I
looked at the little stack of stuff she
had, and volunteered 'to carry it
back and make sure' it got to the .

right people, folks who needed it. I
had a van, and it could have easily
fit in with our things. Little did I
know! That was about 11:30 a.m.
By 2:30, she drove over to the
motel with her "little stack of
groceries," which by now must
have had the hand of Jestis himself
on it, because the five loaves and
three fishes in that van had
multiplied to her van being loaded
to the point that a DOT man would
have had a heart attack. Not only
that, but there were two more vans
coming. And Taylor County
people kept coming by until
midnight that night, bringing
things and visiting and saying their
prayers were with us all.
Taylor County folks came out of


that store, shoving money in the
lady's hand, bringing groceries,
food, soap, canned goods, sardines,
crackers, vienna sausage, baby
food, diapers, toilet paper, paper
towels, tuna fish, pork and beans,
the whole of Chef Boyardee's
products, cereal, milk, water and
more water. They donated so much
that a small truck had to be rented
Sto haul it out. Then they turned
around and raised the money to pay
for the truck and the gas.
Uncle Buck and Aunt Lee Young
just opened their home to me to use
their computer and send and
receive e-mail, and use their phone.

'Next time come in front door'


Dear Editor:
I do not want the coal plant in
Taylor County, but I am also very
concerned about how the county
commission gave their approval
without any feedback from the
citizens, 6f the county. They are
supposed to be representatives of
all the people of the county. To do
this they need the input of the
people. After all, this will affect
our health.:
When the commissioners found
out about the coal plant, they
should have put something in the
paper to let the citizens know about
Sthe proposal and accept feedback
from them before making such a
decision.;
The JEA should have put an ad
in the paper letting us know of
their intentions. It seems like they
(the commissioners and the JEA)
Shad their meeting in the back room
behind closed doors.
To the commissioners: Please


let the people of Taylor County
have a vote on this, so we can
decide what is good for us, and at
the same time it will take some of
the perceived "stink" off this deal
'and take the responsibility from
you for whatever happens in the
future.
STo the citizens of Taylor County:
Please, please, call your county
commissioner and request a vote
for this issue! Whether you want a
coal plant or not, call your county
commissioner and let them know
how you feel about this! Once this
plant is built, it will be here
forever!
To the people of JEA: Next time
you come into a community for
whatever reason, come in the front
door like gentlemen!
As far as I know, this country is
still a democracy and the people
have the right to vote on an issue as
'important as this.

plants. As noted in the
August/September 2005 issue of
Planning Magazine, "Often, coal
is thought of as a fuel of the past,
we picture miners, their faces
covered in dust, using picks and
shovels. Yet coal still generates
more than half of the nation's,
electricity."
I, like most of the residents of
Perry and. Taylor County, am
concerned about the health and
welfare of Perry and Taylor
County and what positive and
negative impacts the coal plant
will have on our community. It
also is disturbing that in order to
provide coal to the proposed and
existing coal plants, mountains
have been and continue to be
literally moved. It had been
reported that between 1985 and
2001, nearly 6,700 valley fills
were approved in West Virginia,
Kentucky and Tennessee, and
covered an area of 84,000 acres.
Mountaintop removal. is
devastating; coal operators blast
apart hilltops to uncover valuable,
low-sulfur coal seams, buried
below. Huge .shovels and
bulldozers move in to dig out the
coal. Leftover rock and dirt,
which used to be the mountain, is
shoved into nearby valleys.
Given the concerns of the
citizenry of our community, the
historical devastation of strip
mining and the painfully obvious
risk a coal plant poses to our
community, has the right decision
been made? If you were able to
poll large and small employers of
the county and major employers of
the region, you would have little


trouble documenting at least 150
jobs currently vacant that cannot
be filled by the, existing labor
force of Taylor County (8,547)
and/or the region (46,506). Recent
job vacancy, surveys conducted by
the' Agency for Workforce
Innovation also show that the
region's employers continue to
have openings going unfilled. -
Several questions continue to be
unanswered: (1) Does the benefit
of the 150 jobs projected outweigh
the cost of the coal plant? (2) How

many of the 150 jobs projected

regional labor force? (3)How many
of the 150 projected jobs will be
filled with a labor force outside of
the county and region? (4) Do we
have the labor force to fill the 150
jobs?
Whether you are for or against
the coal plant, it comes down to
cost vs. benefit, it is just. that
simple. Has there been any cost

One must ask why the public was.
denied early input into these.
decisions which would deeply.
impact our future and affect our
health.
For years now, the people..of
this county have pleaded for clean
jobs and clean industry. :We.
already have more than enough
pollution and sickness. Can you
really imagine a low ceiling,
smoggy morning with all that
pollution coming from the same
direction from two sources a
double 'dose? Are our
commissioners willing to further
sacrifice our citizens, health in
exchange for some jobs? Or, will
they do the right thing and call for
a referendum?
Please considerthe following
information, some of which was
available had our commissioners
cared to do research before their
hasty decision on the coal plant;
The Jacksonville Electric
Authority (JEA) which wants to
build a huge coal-fired power plant
with a 700-foot stack near
Buckeye is now facing lawsuits
from' "52 Jacksonville children
who were born normal but
developed mercury poisoning and
became autistic by their fourth
birthday." (The Times Union,
Jacksonille, Sept., 13, 2005,
"Report: Mercury levels at 2 JEA
plants among highest"). The 52
children lived near the plants.: The
article .states that "the combined
mercury ,emissions from two- of
JEA power plants are the highest.
in the state." The two coal-fired
plants are JEA's Northside
Generating Station and the St.
Johns River Power Park which
"emitted a total of 599 pounds.of
niercury emissions into the air in
2003." Keep in mind that it only
takes one; gram of mercury or
about a drop to contaminate a
large lake and every fish in it.
Our area waterways are already
contaminated with mercury and
many fish uneatable.
.The Times Union article
states that, according to the- U.S
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), "high levels of mercury are
known to cause a variety of health
problems in humans, including
learning disabilities in children and
damage to the brain, heart, lungs
and immune systems of people of
all ages-: .The EPA states that,
"coal-burning power plants are the
'largest human-caused source of
mercury air emissions in the U.S.
Mercury is released when coal is
burned. Florida ranked 11th out
of all.the states in terms of 2003,
mercury emissions, according to:
the (EPA) study."
Sadly, the U.S. Senate recently
voted against any new regulations
on mercury emissions from power
plants.. They have relaxed the
rules on mercury to help power
companies,save money. Senator
Jeffords from Vermont who
wanted the mercury rules
strengthened said, the "rules
violate the Clean Air Act."
Further, he stated, "It is definitely
unhealthy for Americans living
downwind of coal-fired power
Plants, especially mothers :.and
their soon-to-be-born children.
The EPA rules are plainly illegal.".
An alarming number of Taylof
County school children, 60Q
according to education reports; ard
already considered impaired' in
some way and require special
attention. The last thing" iur
"children need is any more
industrial pollution.
We need elected officials and
Development Authority members
who would be interested 'in
attracting clean industry afid in
protecting our citizens, health and
our'. beautiful, God-given
environment, who would Work
with us and not against us. We do
not want any more polluting
industries. How many times liave
we said that and been ignored?
Last year a bombing range; this
year a polluting coal-fired plant!
What really doesn't make sense is
for Buckeye Cellulose to want
more pollution right beside them
and to offer land for the coal plant.
And, I am shocked that Mr. Leach
would sell to them, too. Many of
us have waited most of our lives
for cleaner, healthier conditions in
Perry. We deserve it. Our
children deserve nothing less:
clean air and water, the basics for
life.
To their credit, a couple of


commissioners are listening to
our concerns. Maybe some of the
others will let us know if they
care about our concerns too. It
never should have reached this
level without citizen input. This
is supposed to be a democracy!
Clearly the citizens deserve a
referendum on this issue.
Sincerely,
Gale Dickert

said "let me buy-supper for you
folks."
Everyone was so very nice, and
SI started thinking about what all
the folks from Taylor County had
.given to this effort. I thought,
"Look at all the stuff these folks
gave to us who went through the
devastation of Hurricane Katrina."
" Then.I thought, but Taylor
.junty gave you something else.
They gave you two fine parents
pud you had the same parents for
- years. before your father passed
away..They gave you parents who
had morals and principles and
integrity and whose word meant
'-,mething. Taylor County gave

-who never had a spare boyfriend,
a3 was never strung out on coke
or shooting H. Thank you Taylor
County for giving me more than
food.
The values they had and the
foundation of Taylor County folks
is just this type of principles and
values. They came up hard and
dirt poor and during the depression
times, and they all knew what it
wis like to be hungry and fall on


hard times. And when God
blessed them with a good
livelihood through P&G, they
didn't let it go to their head and
they didn't forget their roots, nor
their values.
So many who are wealthy, wish
you well and their wallet remains
hidden. Perry truly opened their
hand wide to the stranger and
widows and fatherless. May God
bless all of you for this.
I especially wish to mention the
mayor, the superintendent of
schools, the teachers and these
others who helped so very much.
Others include Mr. Ken Williams.
And to the darling children who
wrote the sweet ;notes, to the'
people who put notes and prayers
in their donations. God bless all.
of you so very much. May it,
come back to you a thousand fold.
In closingn, never, never
,underestimate Taylor County
folks. They are the people who

toolboxes on pickup trucks as
standard equipment, and gave the
creation of the monster trucks to
the world.
in these days of 911, terrorism.
