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.

Birthing unit at



hospital closes


Less than two years after it
opened, the obstetrics unit at
Doctors' Memorial Hospital has
I closed.
According to DMH CEO Rick
Brown, he received a letter that as
of Sept. 16 Dr. Anthony Perrin,
resident obstetrician, was leaving
the hospital.
'"I Will not have any OB
services," Brown said. "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.

United Way


...the family way!
Taylor County's United Way Campaign will kick-off at 8 a.m.,
Wednesday, Oct. 5, with "Breakfast in the Park" at City Park.
A $5 donation will get you grilled sausage, hot biscuits, grits, scrambled
eggs, juice and coffee.
"Not a bad deal, when you realize that you will be helping our
community help itself," said Co-chairs Randy, Deidra and Teresa Newman.
Known for their dedication to community service, the entire Newman
family has decided the theme will be "United Way...the Family Way."
"The emphasis will be on why families should volunteer for community
service," the Newmans said.
(Deidra) Newman is quick to point out that "every penny raised here
stays here" to provide services for local residents through 19 certified
agencies.
"It is our hope that by tapping the community's expertise and resources,
we can assist United Way and its many partners in making a difference in
many ways and in so many lives throughout Taylor County. United Way
helps change lives through local human services programs that are here for
all of us-in good times and bad," she said.
"Now you can pay your $5 at the gate, but please call 584-6645 and tell
us how many will be coming. Just leave a message. Oscar Howard Jr. will
be cooking and he doesn't want anyone to go away hungry!" Campaign
Associate Glenda Hamby said.

'divvy up' stadium upkeep


Members of the Perry City
Council appeared once more at the
last regularly scheduled Taylor
County School Board meeting to
receive an answer to a request for
help in maintaining Dorsett
Stadium and Pace Field..
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.

Tallahassee, and has announced,
that his practice here will close.
Friday, Sept. 30.
When asked, Perrin agreed that
-part of his decision was insurance
costs, but he also listed a
number of greviances he has had


with DMH administration since
his arrival here in late 2003.
"It's time to move on," Perrin
said.
"The 128 families that I have
helped the past two years, I have
been privileged to help them."
Perrin has also delivered some
30 babies in Tallahassee since his
arrival, about 15 of which were


from Perry and Taylor County.
"I'll be here until the end of
October to make sure the patients
get their records."
He also said that he was
working with several groups to
see if he could find a new doctor to
keep the Perry Women's Clinic
open.

Bulldogs start strong but fall



to state-ranked Vernon 35-16


By AARON PORTWOOD
"- An explosive start. and exciting
first half of fireworks by Taylor
County's offense was not enough
So overcome penalties, turnovers
oind spotty .special teams play
Friday night in Vernon, as the
Bulldogs fell to Class 2B, 6th-
lanked Vernon, 35-16.
The Bulldogs (2-2) offense
opened with. a bang, scoring on
their first offensive series with a
35-yard TD pass, but gave up a.
95-yard kickoff return for a
touchdown just 18 seconds later to
Vernon's speedy sophomore Geo
Works.
STaylor regained the lead later in
the first quarter with a 26-yard TD
pass,. but the Bulldogs offense
failed to punch it in theendzone
the remainder of the game, despite
four more chances inside the
Yellow Jackets, 30-yard line.
I An interception at the one-yard
line ended a drive on the final play
pf the first half and a 13-yard TD
pass was called back for an illegal
shift penalty in the third quarter.
On the Bulldogs, next third-quarter
: drive. the,offense drove down to
the 20-yard line only to be hit, by
three straight penalties and dropped
;a touchdown pass in the endzone
on a 4th and 28 play. On Taylor's
-final drive of the night, the
SBulldogs penetrated the five-yard
line, only to allow a sack and
!settle for Sean Crowley's 35-yard
field goal.
Taylor County's defense.played
: well in the first half,, holding the
vaunted Yellow Jackets, offeise'to
Just 95 total yard and two short
LTD runs, but wilted in the second
.half, as back-up tailback Geo
iWorks came on to pick up 105
,yards and, a touchdown on just
seven second-half carries.
The Bulldogs. were. playing
without three players no longer on
the, team, including two-way
starters Jamar Mclntvre and
SDelvan Whetsel, as well as senior
lineman Marcus Humphries: .
QB Genario McNealy looked
harp early, compleling:6 of 14
passes for 168 yards and two,
Touchdowns in the first half. but
was.intercepted at the one-yard line
at the end of the first half and
forced to scramble for his life
most of the second hal f. as Vernon
dropped seven defenders into
coverage and still managed to
apply heavy pressure with four
down lineman.
McNealy finished 9 of 23 ;"
passing for 223 yards, 2 TD's and
'the one interception, while
picking up 26 yards on 12 cairies-.
most of which were the result of
being flushed out of the pocket.
Five different Bulldogs had over
25 yards'receiving, as the Taylor
offense continued to spread the
field with three and four-wide
formations out' of the shotgun
formation. Greg Snead led all
receivers with 89 yards on three
catches, followed by TonyPowell
(2 for 38), Sebastian Ingram (35-
yard TD caech). Jackson 129-yard
shovel- pass) and Marquis Ellis
(26-yard TD catch). Gerald Walker

gain and was stopped for no gain
on the following ply 'before
McNealy threw a perfect sideline
pass'to Ingram for a 35-yard
touchdown just 1:12 into the
game.:
Crowley's PAT was good to
give Taylor a quick 7-0 lead.
However, the Bulldogs, special
teams woes continued as Works
muffed the kickoff, picked the ball
up on his own five-yard line and
wove'his way 95 yards for a
touchdown.
It was the fourth kickoff return
for a touchdown given up by the
Bulldogs in the first four games of
the season.
The Bulldogs, second drive went
backwards, as Jackson picked up a'
yard and McNealy was thrown for
a 13-yard loss.-Jackson did pick up
12 yards on a, 3rd and 22 run,
before Crowley (3 punts, 37.7-
yard avg.) booted a 49-yard punt.
Taylor's defense stuffed the
Yellow Jackets and forced a punt,.
but the Bulldogs offense shot
itself in' the foot, again when
Jackson fumbled the ball away at
midfield after a 29-\lird gain on a
perfect shovel pass play,
.Vernon returned the favor; as
QB Jed, Tyre:'(the Big Bend's
leading' passer last season) was'
picked off by Powell on a 2nd and.
11 play created by Lance Rowell's
tackle for loss on first down.
Jackson lost three yardss on first
down, but picked up 16 and a first
down on the next play to set up
McNealh's perfect 26- ard TD pass
to Ellis on 2nd and 10. Leading
13-7 .near the end of the first
quarter, the Bulldogs opted for 'a
two-point conversion pla\ instead
of the PAT and the underhanded
pitch bounced off of a blocker for
a fumble that was recovered for no
gain..
Big plays by' Georgie
Armstrong. Rowell,' Jake

their own 42.
Walker hauled in a six-yard pass
in the flat and Snead made a
highlight-reel catch in double
coverage for a 24-yard gain to the
Vernon 30-yard line before
Taylor's offense sputtered.
Jackson ran twice for no net
gain and on 3rd and 10 McNealy
overthrew his tight end. The
SBulldogs went for it on 4th and 10
from the 30, but the shotgun snap
sailed oyer McNealy's head for a
14-yard loss.
Vernon took advantage of the
momentuni shift, driving 44.yards
in 10 plays to score on Robert
Potter's three-yard run up the
middle and took a 14-13,lead on
the extra point kick with 5:18 left
in the first half.
-After 'an incomplete pass,
Jackson was met in the backfield
Sfor a four-yard loss and McNealy,
had to scramble out of the pocket'
on 3rd down, coming up just short
of a first down'.
Crowley's punt was returned 18
yards to the Bulldog's 41-yard line.
After two incomplete passes--
including one almost intercepted
by Armstrong--Tyre' hit Justin
Coleman for a 37-yard, pass down
to ihe four-sard line.
Despite a valiant goal line stand
of two plays, the Bulldog defense
finally surrendered a one-yard TD
run to Potter to fall behind 21-13.
i With under two minutes
remaining in the half, McNealy
and the Bulldog offense engineered
a 6S-yard drive down to the

Vernon took the short second-
half kickoff and began at their own
45, but fumbled two plays'later..
With excellent field position at
their own 46, Taylor appeared to
be poised to tie the game, but two
runs by Jackson picked up only

The indictment alleges Alford began unlawfully spending the money on
May 12, 2004, just six days after receiving the first transfer of funds. On
that date, the indictment alleges he spent $42,006 on artwork from Page
O'Connor Fine Arts.
Subsequent purchases over the next five months included:
*June 16, $150,000 for artwork from Page O'Connor Fine Arts;
*June 16, $36,000 for sporting event tickets from Ticket Pros USA;
*July 6, $50,000 for a Chevrolet Tahoe from Thomas Chevrolet;
*July 8, $15,000 for a Chevrolet Silverado from Thomas Chevrolet;
*Aug. 30, $40,334 for furniture from Sand Castle Designs;

*Oct. 6, $105,359 for artwork from Page O'Connor Fine Arts;
*Oct. 6, $15,000 for a deposit on automobiles from Quality Imports;
*Oct. 6, $126,006 for a Mercedes Benz from Quality Imports;
*Oct. 8, $250,000 for the partial settlement on a lawsuit with St. Paul
Fire and Marine Insurance.
The Taco Times reported last year that St. Paul obtained a $3.5
million judgement against Alford stemming from a 1996 lawsuit where it
was alleged he fraudulently sold insurance policies and had the premium
payments-made to a corporation owned and controlled by himself. One of
the policies was a $28 million financial guaranty for a shipbuilder. Alford
instructed the shipbuilder to pay the $1,050,000 premium to his
corporation, Alford Investments, according to the suit,

Delivering HOPE for the future


For the third year in a row the
Perry Elks Lodge will be hosting a
Bingo Benefit for The Barth
Syndrome Foundation (BSF).
The event will be held at the
Perry Elks Lodge on Puckett Road
Monday, Oct. 3.
The event begins at 7 p.m. but
organizers encourage you to arrive
early to buy your cards.
Barth syndrome is a life-
threatening complex genetic
disorder that primarily affects
males.
It is passed from mother to son.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Writer 'disturbed' by behavior


Dear Editor:
I was surprised and disturbed by
Commissioner' Bethea's behavior
at the last commission meeting.
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'

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

GROWTH
Continued from page 3

'who is greater than themselves and
those who feel as they do;." A
confidence that guarantees,:goed
for a community's growth. Who
was it that said "where there is
growth there are jobs?" I-can't
help but see some of the growth
as a painful tumor. The:. life
within inflamed and sensitive,
many parts receiving the same
unified concern? :
The parts remaining because of
someone who needs a job... Or
better still a continuing, rigid
evaluation that precedes the:ifid
of care and attention you receive
always. I question the direction
.growth has taken in -the
community that I live in. And I
also question an employer's
patience to work toward..:that
health.
Where should I place
accountability for my being
jobless? I suppose 'the
relinquishing of responsibility
after I hear the phrase "you're
fired." Or how about this one, "I
am sorry, but things are not
working out as we planned," can
answer the accountability issue.
It's all my fault. The first reason,
I' just don't understand;L how
someone who shows up on time
to work and ready to give 100
percent should ever hear those
words. And as for the "plan," had
I honestly known the full extent
of "the plan," maybe things would
have worked out a little more
smoothly and expedited..more
quickly.
I was always taught to
communicate, communicate,. and
communicate some more. 'This
should answer all questions. Aiid
when you think you have told all,
that's when you haven't: said
enough. Which brings me to my
