Jury selected for Alf d trial The federal trial of Stephen Alford and attorney David Fleet opened Monday' in Pensacola with jury selection, and continued Tuesday with opening statements from both sides. Ajury of eight men and eight women was chosen to hear the case which is expected to take up to three weeks. The charges in the case stem from the pair's alleged scam to swap some 64,000 acres of Taylor County lands for beachfront property owned by the Air Force near Ft. Walton. In turn, Eglin Air Force Base would use the property near Hickory Mound as a missile range. Prosecutors say Alford and Fleet allegedly defrauded two individual investors out of $11 million by selling them total interest in Okaloosa Island land without telling either about the other. The pair allegedly had the funds wired into a bank then spent more than $871,000 of the investors' money on personal items.

"If I don't have an obstetrician on call, we cannot keep the unit open." Brown said he hopes to begin the search for a new obstetrician by early next year. "We have a new surgeon in town and we're trying to get him established. Then we'll have the time to devote to search for an obstetrician." SIn the meantime, he said, women will be evaluated at the hospital and then transferred to Tallahassee or Gainesville. SEmployees with the now closed OB unit have been offered openings elsewhere in the hospital, Brown said. "Some accepted and others have decided to go elsewhere." DMH's OB unit opened in late, 2003 and since then 128 babies' have been delivered there. According to Brown, Perrin's reason for leaving was the cost of malpractice insurance.

Superintendent of Schools Oscar Howard Jr. told Mayor Emily Ketring that, "we think we can handle the Thursday and Friday games in keeping up the grounds. This is where we are budget-wise and that's what we can do." , "We all received your letter, Mr. Howard," said Ketring, "and we are, truly thankful for the step in that direction." "Another issue we're looking at," said Howard, "is Pace Field (baseball) to see how much time we can allocate there. We have a prison crew that we have 10-hours per day, four'days a week. The inmates cannot be where the children are, though. We can, however, have the prison crew within the fenced-in Dorsett 'Stadium and Pace Field when the children are not there and have them clean the facilities. "This is the direction that we are currently working toward in getting this done," he added. "Well, we'll be looking forward to next year, then," said Ketring. "We need to get together, the two boards, and decide how we want to handle the cost of the two fields so that it will equitable for all those concerned." "That we do," said Howard.' "And we need to do it before we have all our budget money tied-up. We want to pay our fair share." "We're using the football field for many different games," said Board Chairman Mark Southerland. "The City only uses it for Little League football. Ketring said, "On going forward; you agree to meet with who we designate and get this resolved, maybe at the beginning of next budget year? "Isn't there a portion of Dorsett Stadium that we can't use?" asked School Board Chairman Danny Lundy. "Yes," said Bill Brynes. We're waiting for a report. "We just wanted to know where we are with that," Lundy replied. "At the game the other night, I notice that no one was sitting in that area on the visitors' side, they were in front of the bleachers, walking around," Lundy added. "We got a preliminary report," Brynes said. "The engineer said don't use it. There's' a piece missing and they said it was weak. To repair it...whoever's going to foot that bill--it's going to be a pretty good one. "The engineer said the structure was basically good, and if we fix that section, it would be good for another 50 years." "Do you know how much they're asking to fix it?" asked Lundy. "We've been waiting on drawings, then there will be a price," said Brynes. "If we're going to be using those facilities as much as we do," said Southerland, "then we need to pay for them." At an earlier meeting, it was pointed out that it cost the city approxmimitely $45,000 a year to maintain both fields, with the school district contributing $11,000 of that.

Historically, boys died by three years of age, but through the efforts of the Barth Syndrome Foundation there is now improved diagnosis, treatment and monitoring, which has extended survival for these children. j The main symptoms can present in a variety of ways, and at any age: Weakening of the heart muscle usually associated with enlargement of the heart. This symptom can cause a risk of fatal arrhythmias. -I Another symptom is a reduction in a specific white blood cell that is most important -for fighting bacterial infections. All muscles, including the heart, have a cellular deficiency which limits their ability to produce energy, resulting in muscle, weakness and increased fatigue. In some cases this is debilitating. During childhood most affected individuals, are below-average in height and weight, often substantially so. The Barth Syndrome Foundation: is a worldwide, supportive community with world headquarters here in Perry. The foundation provides the, largest source of Barth syndrome information, resources, activities and services. Every year BSF awards clinical and biochemical research grants in an effort to better understand Barth syndrome. Funded research has focused on how the cells and .genes are affected, while other researchers are investigating how these cellular r differences affect the person who has Barth syndrome. "All of this research will help to, improve knowledge and treatment of this complex disorder. BSF has stimulated a great deal of excitement and attention on this disorder, and the prospects for further advancements are promising, but there is much crucial work that remains to be done. You can show your support of this organization by attending to the local bingo event or make a donation to the foundation," BSF founder and Taylor County resident Shelley Bowen said. She is the mother of 18-year-old Michael Bowen, who has Barth Syndrome. Michael is a medically homebound senior at Taylor County High School. Bowen lost her son, Evan who also had Barth Syndrome, when he was four years of age. When the foundation was founded in 2000 there was no research on the disorder and little hope for survival for her son. The foundation was born out of need and has delivered hope of a promising future to many families around the world, Bowen said. Early diagnosis is key to survival for Barth syndrome boys-those who are not accurately diagnosed only have a 30 percent chance of living through the first few years of life, she added. With proper diagnosis at an early: age, research shows these boys have an 85-90 percent chance of survival. a l Michael Bowen, 18, has Barth Syndrome. Thanks to the efforts of the Foundation, there is now improved diagnosis, treatment and monitoring extending the life of those born with the genetic disorder. Barth Syndrome of the disease-- Elks to award scholarships Perry Elks Lodge has announced the 2006 Elks National Foundation (ENF) Most Valuable Student Scholarship competition. The ENF awards a total of $21216 million each year in college scholarships to 500 high school seniors nationwide, The first and second place awards are the largest scholarships' provided by any major fraternal or service organization.

Home-schooled students may also apply, as well as private- school students. First, second and third place awards are given to the outstanding male and female students. First place awards are two $60,000 scholarships,- second-place $40,000 and third-place $20,000. Additionally there will be 494 $4,000 awards ($1,000 per year). Applications must be submitted no later than Jan. .13, 2006. Selection of winners begins at the local level. "The Elks are proud to be able to provide these scholarships to our deserving youth."' I Barth Syndrome is a rare but serious genetic disorder that affects males. The characteristics (signs and symptoms) of Barth Syndrome consist of the following in varying degrees: Neutrooenia Weakness in the immune system, specifically a reduction in the number of neutrophilss," a type of white blood cell that is most important for fighting bacterial infections. Neutropenia places Barth boys at an increased risk of acquiring serious infections such as bacterial pneumonia Ind skin abscesses. Cardlomyopathy Heart muscle weakness. This, combined with a weakened immune system, represents the greatest threat to boys with Barth syndrome. Muscle Weakness and General Fatigue All muscles, including the heart, have a cellular deficieinci which limits their ability to produce energy, causing extreme fatigue during activities requiring strength or stamina, from walking to writing to growing. Failure-to-Thrive and Growth Retardation Most boys with Barth syndrome are also below-average in weight and height, often substantially so.- The poor growth of Barth boys is often assumed to be evidence of poor nutrition or other secondary effects of a chronic illness, a situation termed "failure to thrive." This is rarely the cause, and the common nutritional treatments.for failure to thrive usually are not needed, and in some cases contra-indicated for Barth syndrome children.

'' Editorial B-2 TacO Times September 28, 2005 qqqq of ~Tbm CL U-,a *"a iII CUM> vom & < Letters to the Edit6r Who can pass 1895 eighth-grade test? Dear Editor: Here is some interesting information that might' put our public education system. into. perspective for a few people. Being a parent of children in grades varying from 5K to ninth, it is fairly obvious that the priority of the schools these days is to "teach .to the test" (FCAT). Most people just don't realize how much "our". educational system has changed over the years. We as a country ,have truly moved away from solid knowledge-based education into a system designed train our children ito give standardized responses to often ambiguous J"multiple choice" type questions. Of course, one has to wonder if the true priorities of schools these days is really to impart knowledge to our most important natural resource, or if by chance the real goal is.,to push them through a -government-regulated test to. ensure that the most money can be generated for the school system.' Any of you who have looked at the FCAT test questions might find it interesting to compare with the following test. This is the eighth-grade final exam from 1895 in Salina, Kansas, USA.

He wanted to hold the contract for Workforce De'velopmenr' hostage because he didn't like Mike Deming's letter. Whether 'he liked what Mr. Demmng wrote or not, democracy guarantees the right to express an opinion as a private citizen. Democracy also guarantees Mr. Bethea the right to express an opinion, but.not to flaunt power as he did Monday night. He meant to make a point, but instead he shot the messenger! It reminded me of a recently defeated commissioner's behavior. The letter in question was extremely thoughtful and well written, containing many direct quotes from the governmental agencies designed to monitor our health about health risks from coal power plants. It also gave factual information about mountain-top destruction and the job market in this area. Mr. Deming deserves our respect and gratitude for -providing educational information and economic analysis. To paraphrase the vision of Workforce Development: it is a non-profit organization that collaborates with area communities to provide diversified resources to ensure solutions leading to social and economic growth. Workforce can provide current information about area employment trends so that the TCDA does not have to depend on old petitions and dated "vision" exercises. Mr. Bethea and the TCDA must realize that Taylor County citizens deserve a variety of good paying. non-polluting jobs with benefits and that many of us support the pursuit of these jobs. We don't have to settle for the first lig industry that wants our land. Help me with this puzzle: how did Mr. Bethea get to read Mr. Deming's letter before the 6 p.m. meeting? SSincerely, SDiane V. Whitfield 'TRUE' statements about power plant questioned Dear Editor: I thought I'd share with your readers the believable and important comments I heard at the recently held public hearing about the proposed power plant., One. of the state's -leading toxicologists, Florida State professor Dr. Christopher Teaf, stated that emissions from the power plant will be cleaner than established standards to protect the health of human and wildlife. A retired power plant worker, whose son also works in a power plant, in. Central Florida, commented that, the plant here might give' his son the option to move home, thus reuniting their family which has been scattered because of work demands. . Members of the pipefitters and welders union testified that modern power plants: are many times cleaner than the old plants. They also said that Taylor County workers make up a majority of their members and work on power plants all over the country. A - power plant here would allow These people the chance to return home and still provide for their families. 1 'questiori many of the statements attributed to Taylor Residents United for the SEnvironment (TRUE), the group Supposed to the power plant. TRUE maintains the power plant will not pay its way. This is un-true. Local officials will be contacting power plant officials in the next several weeks to discuss annual payments to all our representative government agencies (taxing authorities). TRUE maintains that our property values will decrease. This is un-lrue. Communities. such as Palatka and Crystal River, indicate thai,' property values do not decrease, but have increased following the power plant's establishment. TRUE maintains that no one in Taylor County has enough qualifications to be employed at the power plant. This is un-true. I. find that assertion absurd. TRUE, maintains, that our infrastructure would be damaged by 100 railcars and 10 limerock trucks each day. That is un-true, Infrastructure. is. in place to accommodate progressive . development. If people are driving trucks on our roads and railroads are making deliveries, then people are working and we think that's a good thing. TRUE maintains that the county's water supplies will be compromised by the power plant. This is un-true. One of Taylor County's vast natural resources is an abundance of groundwater. Even with the power plant, Taylor County will withdraw .-less groundwater, than many of our neighboring counties. Also, power plant officials announced.at the public hearing that the plant will utilize modem zero-discharge technologies. TRUE maintains that the TCDA has failed the county by, pursuing a power plant. That is un- true. The members of the Taylor County Development Authority are interested in this community for the long haul. They would not poison the place they plan to live': and retire. Instead, they hope to : Diversify the local economy and: thereby make it possible for their own children and grandchildren to: find employment here and a quality lifestyle. I would encourage everyone to: seek the true facts about a modem,', coal-fired power plant, and what it: can mean to the economic;: prosperity for our. community.., Please disregard the untrue' statements made by those whose: only expertise is a quick search:' through the Internet. I welcome any genuine:: questions about the proposed power plant and can be reached at' 584-5627 or tcda@perry.gulfnetL' com. Rick Breer, Executive Director: of Economic Development, 'Obligation' to share opposition Dear Editor: Having worked fora while as the TCDA Coordinator of Economic Development in Taylor County, I feel an obligation to share my opposition to the- proposed 800- mega watt coal-fired power plant' in my hometown. I now live in Madison County with my family and have helped lead a grassroots effort to educate; the public about the dangers of. coal-fired power plants. Recently, the Madison. County" Commission voted overwhelmingly (4-1) to oppose inviting JEA's S00-mega watt coal- fired power plant into our county for economic .' 'de-.elpmeb,', purposes. Sacrificing the health of the people for the sake of "jobs" Midweek M was just not worth it in ouri opinion. The entire medical staff of Madison County also unanimously, opposes the placement of a coal;- burning electric power plant in Madison. County because bof "health hazards from its airborne emissions-emissions potentially harmful to the citizens of Madison County."
