Family members and friends are
still holding their breath awaiting
good news as officers with three
law enforcement agencies search
vigilantly for two Perry men who
have been missing in the Gulf since
Sunday morning.
The had not been found as of
presstime Tuesday.
According to Taylor County
Sheriffs Office Lt. Audie Towles,
Jimmy Eugehe White, 67, and son-
in-law Lonnie Goff, 54, left early
Sunday morning to fish the Rock
Island area, after launching their 15
1/2' Glasstream aluminum boat at
Peterson's Landing.
Towles said he and Sgt. Buddy
Lee left that evening to search for
two other men who had launched
at Yates Creek and were reported
missing. Around 10:30 p.m.,
Towles, and Lee found the men
walking to shore after their 14-foot
aluminum boat had been swamped
during a sudden squall.
"While we were looking for the
two men who were lost out of
Yates Creek, a call came in around
9 p.m. saying that White and Goff
had been reported missing,"
,Towles said. "Goffs wife went to"
Peterson's Landing and.saw their
vehicle there and had to come back
toward town so her cell phone
would pick up a signal and'she
could call them.in missing.
"We called the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC), and Off.
Andy Bickel and TCSO Dep. Jay
Ricketson took pn FWC airboat to
search for the missing men.


"It was around midnight before
we dropped the two resc' d men
off and gassed up so we could join
the search 'for White and Goff.
During the next few hours, we
searched from Peterson's Landing
to Hickory Mound Compound,
with negative results.
"We called the U.S. Coast Guard


around 4 a.m., who arrived and
began a drift pattern, giving
attention to the wind, which was
blowing about 15-20 knots
(approximately the same in mph).
"All agencies gathered our
resources' to search for the men,"

'Pro-Buckeye' crowd


urges pipeline permit

An overwhelming pro-Buckeye crowd of more than 200 people attended:
a public hearing here Thursday to hear and voice opinions concerning a
draft permit that calls for the construction of a 15.3-mile pipeline as well
as other operational changes within the mill.
.Forty-four speakers went to the-podium at Taylor County Middle School
in the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)-sponsored
event. Of those, 39 spoke in favor of DEP's plan.
DEP officials have stated that the permit will provide long-term:
environmental improvements in the Fenholloway River and estuary by";: :
authorizing manufacturing process changes, modification and operation of
an industrial wastewater treatment plant, and construction of an effluent
transmission pipeline for discharge into marine portions of the
Fenholloway.
DEP's timeline sets this Thursday as the end of the public comment'
period with Feb. 6, 2006, scheduled for final department action.
After that, the permit sets several deadlines for upgrades within the plant
with the completion of the pipeline set for 2014 (nine years).
DEP officials estimated the cost of the various improvements at $85
million with some $47 million allocated for pipeline construction.
The multi-year project will improve the quality of Buckeye's industriaJ

Cash flow raises eyebrows


over Alford's expenditures
ove g


By TOM McLAUGHLIN
SNorthwest Florida Daily News
(Special to the Taco Times)
Stephen Alford's attorney
conceded at the trial's outset that
prosecutors could show his client
went through cash like a man about
to become wealthy.
Alford's spending habits, in
2004--the year he was enticing
investors to give him money with
the promise of'Air Force land on
Okaloosa Island--dominated the
federal money laundering and wire
fraud trial Friday.
FBI special agent Steven Harker
.provided an itemized account of
Alford's expenditures following
May 6, 2004, the' day primary
investor Richard Massey sent his
. first check.
The list purports to show that
Alford spent just under $3,6
million of Massey's ,$7 million
investment' on things like a
Mercedes Benz for his wife, home
furnishings and trips to Las Vegas,
Disney World and Tallahassee.
Alford also paid healthy annual
salaries to a housekeeper, a home
schooler, a sports coach, a chef and
two full-time personal trainers.
"Mr. Alford wanted to lose
weight and get in shape," Dirk
Wenrich, one of Alford's $60,000-
a-year personal trainers, testified
before Harker took the stand.
SDavid Fleet, then Alford's


lawyer and now his co-defendant,,
received $295,000 in payments
Listed among financial records as
legal fees, Harker said.
Alford, with Fleet as his legal
representative, convinced Massey
on four occasions to.wire money to
Alford's checking account,
prosecutors say. Massey thought
his investment was buying him the
exclusive right to purchase a parcel
of Air Force land on Okaloosa
Island known as A-5.

The list purports to show that
SAlford spent just under $3.6
million of Massey's $7 million
'investmenton thingslike a
Mercedes Benz for his wife,
home furnishings and trips to
Las Vegas, Disney World and
S Tallahassee.
Massey had testified earlier in
the week that each time he sent
1 more money to Alford's account,
he was promised.,a better purchase
deal for the land.
c Alford and Fleet had convinced
him, Massey said, that they wold
receive the Air Force land in a
swap, for acreage Alford was
S buying in Taylor County. The Air


Force wanted the Taylor County
land to use as a long-range missile
testing site.
The U.S. Attorney's Office is
trying to convince a 16-member
jury that Alford and Fleet stepped
over the legal line with their land-
Sswap deal by promising the
exclusive purchase option to more
than just Massey. A development
group headed by Tom Becnel also
bought into the A-5 property,
prosecutors say.
Becnel's group also put money
down to obtain another parcel of
land the Air Force was apparently
willing to trade to Alford, evidence
showed. That parcel, the Dunes
Parcel, extends from Beasley Park,
eastward, and would give its
owners 7,350 feet of beachfront
property to develop.
Defense attorneys argue that
Massey loaned money to Alford, as
opposed to investing it in hopes of
Staking a claim to the A-5 property.
He knew the risks associated with
land speculation, the defense
contends.
'In the same opening argument ih
which he warned the jury about the
extravagant spending, defense
attorney Joe Hammonds said
Alford had every reason to believe
his land deal was going to work.

SA man police say car-jacked a
couple. at gunpoint last week--
pistol-whipping one of the
victims--has been captured wand
charged with.armed, car-jacking,
grand theft and larceny/theft.'
According to a report filed by
Perry Police Department Ptli
Dwight Norris, a call was made to
Taylor County, Sheriffs .Office
dispatch, reporting that store
security had attempted to stop a
suspected shoplifter outside Wal-
Mart, but that he fled on fogt, back
toward the post office. Security
Officer David Lindsey said "they
lost him behind Cato's."
Shortly thereafter, Norris was
dispatched to Doctors' Memorial
Hospital to speak to two possible
victims of a car-jacking.
The 63-year-old man, who has a
history of heart problems, was in
the emergency room complaining
of chest pains.
He told Norris that he was sitting
in his vehicle in the post office
parking lot waiting on his 61-year-
old wife, when he saw a black male
running toward his vehicle.
"The subject jumped in the front


passenger side and told the victim
to crank up the car," Norris said.
"He then told the man to get out or
that he would 'mess him up.'
"The victim said the car-jacker
was holding a small black handgun
and that it was cocked. He then
told the victim to get out of the car
or he would shoot him," Norris
added.,
"The victim's wife came out of
the post office and saw the man in
the car fighting with her husband,
so she opened the driver's door to,
see what was wrong. She said the,
subject had: a gun and was
Threatening her husband.
"The victim was having trouble
getting the seatbelt unlocked, so
the subject began hitting the man
with the pistol," N6rris added.
When the victim was able to get
out of the vehicle, the car-jacker
jumped behind the wheel, cranked
up the car and took off north on
Jefferson Street.
The victim's wife told police that
her purse was in the vehicle with
cash and other personal items in it.
Five. hours later the stolen
vehicle was located on .Malloy


Street, abandoned.
Two days later, PPD Ptl. Robert
Johns made contact with. the
possible girlfriend of the suspect,
who said his name was Kerry E.
Cummings, 35, and that he had
gone back to Orlando.
The owner of the bicycle
Cummings was originally on was
located and he also identified the
suspect as Cummings.
Norris said a tip was given to
police Friday that Cummings was
at a residence in the Spring Warrior
area, but officers unable to locate
him.
On Saturday, Norris received
information that Cummings was
back at the Spring Warrior
residence and "that he was asleep
in an abandoned camper trailer
behind the home."
Norris, TCSO Sgt. Paul Poppell,
Dep. Chris Folsom and Dep. Mike
Thompson went to the residence
and arrested Cummings. During
the arrest, a crack pipe was
discovered underneath the man,
according to Norris.

Fenhollowa4 and allow the river to meet its designated uses as a Class III,
fishable-swimmable waterbody, DEP officials said.
DEP has also stated that the plan safeguards a $225 million annual
regional economic impact by protecting the jobs of 610 employees in the
Taylor County community and an additional 1,000 workers wh6 rely on
the timber industry in the region.
Some of Thursday's public comments'included:
Congressman Allen Boyd (read by a representative): "It is reasonable to
hope--and I certainly do hope--that this public meeting will conclude the
discussion, and study phase of restoring the Fenholloway."
Emily Ketring, mayor of Perry: "Thank you for all the effort your
agency has done in completing this permit."
Daryll Gunter, chairman. of the Taylor County Board of County
Commission: "This is a win for the environment and win for the people of
Taylor County and let's move forward to make this draft permit a final
permit."
Mark Southerland, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce: "Closing
Buckey would do to the Taylor County economy what Hurricane Katrina
did to the economy of New Orleans."
Rick Breer, executive director of Economic.Development: "I'm a.
transplant here. I moved here 11 years ago, but it .doesn't take long to see:
how important Buckey is here."
John Crowe, Buckeye president: "It's a pleasure to represent Buckeye.
Dioxin is no longer detectable in our waters."
Clay Bethea: "I would like to thank Buckeye for seeing this process
through when many companies in the United States are' moving
overseas."
Gary Brett,.with Rigoni Inc.: "Knowing what's right and wrong is
, pretty easy. Doing it is harder, Let's move into the future together."
Pam Milar: "I take exception to the threats to shut down the company I
work for. I would like to keep my job."
Bill Heartsfield: "Foley Timber, and Land \would like to express. &
support of the dralt permit."
; Don Milar: "I have been to towns where the main economic provider'
:closed do\% n and they became ghost towns." .
Chet Thompson; "I believe Buckdye has taken a stand that will not
only meet EPA standards, but exceed them."
SCcile Hance: "I'm a \% idow and an employee of Buckeye. I depend on
this job to support my elderly mother and a step-son with a severe
learning disability."
Mack Mangum: "I'm here.representing myself. I'm a landowner and a
fisherman. These changes would improve the benefits we enjoy."
Rebbeca Edwards: "I do believe this pipeline is not an improvement.
It's only a measure to appease.'
Gary Boston: "The plant has .a long history of pioneering in
environmental controls. Buckeye is making a commitment to move
forward."
Howard Pickles, president of the local chapter of the United
Steelworkers: "Buckeye has made the surrounding counties and Taylor
County a better place to live. I don't want to see these jobs going
overseas."
Bryan Bethea: "I'm proud to work for Buckeye. I was raised within one
mile of Buckeye. We.have never had problems. They have been extremely
good neighbors." ,
Pat Bowlerman: "I don't.think you could find a more conscientious
company out there. If DEP had issued the permit back in 1998, it would
have already expired. I think we've done the environment a. great
disservice."
Billy Boone: "Buckeye has cleaned up and there are new crabs there now
(at the mouth of the Fenholloway). But if they put that pipeline in, you're
going to have a ditch that was called the Fenholloway."
Dave Wheaton: "I work at Buckeye and I consider myself an
environmentalist. I know this permit will, make things better for the
environment."
Michelle Curtis: "I'm happy to say I live in Taylor County and proud
to.say I work for Buckeye."
Jimmy Sauls: "I consider myself a Buckeye 'brat.' For the last five
years I've lived 95 steps away from the Fenholloway and I haven't seen
any adverse health effects. I invite you to come out and see what I see
every day."
Terrence.Reed: "We've played by the rules. We have heard from the
experts and those who claim to be experts. We can win and we can protect
the environment. We only ask that the game is fair."
Randy Speas: "I personally support this.permit because of the studies
dating back the last 15 years."
Howard Drew: "The time for lengthy debate is over and it's time to
move forward."
Don Asmus: "The company has been committed to-improving the
environment."
Jim Hunt: "I support the draft permit because it will mean continuous
environmental improvement. As a coastal business owner I know we are.
all ready to move forward."
Joy Ezell: "My heart goes out to the employees of Buckeye because
: they feel they have to come'up here and praise their polluting employer."
Scott Anderson: "If the plant closes, it will result in a lot, of job loss in
our area."
Art Howe: "It's a great relief to finally see some light at the end of the
tunnel."
Carl Stoyer: "I'm encouraged to see the DEP is using data to make their
decisionsP'
Gil Williams: "We're here to inspire you to go ahead with this permit."
Jim Bassett: "The good news is the DEP has a good plan based on good
data."
Ray Andreu: "If we are serious about changing the Fenholloway, there
is no other way. It's time to get on with it."
Tim Copperman: "It's important to remember when making this
decision that Buckeye has spent many millions of dollars to clean up the
environment."
? Johnny Hankerson: "I'm sure the Lord will bless us to get the permit
this time around."
Janice Jackson: "You can put lipstick on a pig and an apron, but it
W ion't look nice and it won't cook."

Florida Forest Festival Junior Miss, I never thought it would
provide me with such wonderful experiences. I have loved all
of the events, lunches, and parades in which I had the honor of
participating. However, my favorite part of it all was working
with each and every one of the other admirable contestants. I
have met astonishing people who have helped me to evolve
into the person I am today.


I would like to acknowledge that I could not have made it
this far without the help of others. To Allison Bishop,Lori
Wiggins, and Amy Knowles, thank you for all of your support
and encouragement. I would like to thank Dana Schwab for
always helping me to be beautiful and Deidra Newman for all
of your support and for accompanying me to all of the
functions. To Rick Olcott for your time, effort, and musical
abilities--you are the best! Many thanks to all of my scholarship
providersfor helping tofund myeducation. Thank you, Kristy
Goodman, for the wonderful memories of the Little King and
Queen Pageant. To the 2004 Little King and Queen, Alex
Parker and Hannah Polley, you kept me laughing and
entertained during all of ourfunctions together. Thanks to
Sara Mock; your photo and video talents are awesome.. A great
big THANK YOU to the citizens of Taylor County for being
so supportive of the Florida Forest Festival Junior. Miss
Program. Thank you to all of my family and friends. Most
importantly, thank you, Mom, Dad and my sister, LaRee, for
all of your support and eighteen years of unconditional love.


I would like to close with a word of encouragement and
support to all of the contestants, past, present and future...hold
your head high and do not get discouraged. You are all such
beautiful and intelligent young ladies. I know you will succeed
in everything you do. Always remember to reach for the moon,

Cowboys score on final play of 63-20 blowout


Madison runs up score



in victory over Bulldogs


By Aaron Portwood
Despite a valiant second-half
performance by the Taylor County
offense and QB Genario McNealy,
the Bulldogs dropped their District
2-2A opener by a score of 63-20
to undefeated #2-ranked Madison
County, Friday night in Boot Hill
Stadium.
Taylor (2-3 overall) scored on a
pair of long touchdown passes
sandwiched around a successful
onside kick during a 40-second
span midway through the third
quarter to cut Madison's lead to
35-13, but could not stop a
Cowboys offense that scored on
nine of their 12 possessions in the
game.
The Cowboy coaching staff,
under the direction of Head Coach
Frankie Carroll, did not appear
content with simply winning the
game, instead choosing to score as
many points as possible against
the overmatched Bulldogs.
In fact, two of the only three
possessions Madison did not score
came when the Cowboys were
.forced to punt for the only time in
the game late in the second
quarter. Taylorfumbled the punt
return and Madison recovered at
the Bulldogs' 48-yard line.
Although the Cowboys led 28-0
with under a minute remaining in
the first half, Madison's'coaches
used two timeouts and called for a
38-yard pass play in an attempt to
pad their four-touchdown lead
before time ran out. The drive
.ended with the Cowboys hurrying
to the line of scrimmage and
'trying to get one more play off
rafter being stuffed on a first and
goal play from inside the five-yard
line.
To add insult to injury--with the'
clock 'running continuously
throughoutt the final quarter--
.Madison inserted offensive
lineman Gary Stephens at running
back to score on a one-yard plunge
|to take a 55-13 lead.
Madison's defense recorded a
safety to take a 44-point lead, but
the Cowboys fumbled on the very
next play and McNealy scooped
4he ball up, outran several
IMadison players and cored on a
62-yard fumble return to pull the,
Bulldogs within 57-20 with 3:03
remaining on the constantly-"
running clock.',
Madison was not content to run
out the clock or take a knee in a
!show of sportsmanship, instead
the Cowboys drove 54 yards in
four plays--including a 38-yard run
;down to the two-yard line--and
.hurried to ,score their ninth
'touchdown just before time
expired.
Taylor's highlights were limited
to the passing game, as McNealy
completed just two of 11 passes in
the first half, including a 50-yard
-bomb to Greg Snead for the
.Bulldogs' only first 'down in the
half.
SMcNealy (7 of 22 for 194 yards,
2 Td's, 1 int.) rallied the Bulldog
!offense for: two rapid-fire
touchdowns in the third quarter,.
while completing 5 of 11 second
'half passes for 143 yards.
iMcNealy was also Taylor's leading
rusher with two, scrambles for 19
yards. '
Sean Pagett had three carries' for
i10 yards, while Bryckoski Jackson
iwas held to no yards on four,
:carries.
STaylor finished with 11 carries
fdr 27 yards rushing and 194 yards
:passing (221 total yards) on just
33 total offensive plays. The
vaunted Madison defense heJd the
,Bulldogs to just 18 plays in the
first half and 15 in the second half,
as Taylor had five possessions
| (four in the first half) end with a
i punt after jist three plays.
In comparison, Madison's
offense amassed 571 yards (482
rushing) and nine touchdowns on
42 offensive plays--averaging 9.2
yards per play and a touchdown
every seven plays.
,'Ihe Bulldogs' big-play offense
jManaged just three first downs,
I but averaged 6.9 yards per play,
I fueled by spectacular receptions by
, Snead (3 catches, 99 yards, 1 TD),
i Tony Powell (2 catches, 57 yards)
and Marquis Ellis (37-yard TD
catch). -Senior 'wide receiver
Sebastian Ingram was held

Taylor wen' almost exclusively
to the aerial attack in the second
half, rushing just' four times for
eight yards, and were hurt by two
muffed kick returns in the game.
The Bulldogs did not give up any
big kick returns and had just two
turnovers (1 fumble. 1
interception) with six penalties for
fi65 yards.
.Madison had three fumbles, but
lost only one and had eight
penalties for i60 yards.
Taylor started the game with
three straight pass plays, but
McNealy was unable to hook-up
with Ingram on the first two and
had to scramble for 15 yards !on
3rd down. The big gain was called
back due to a holding penalty and
NlcNealy's third down pass was
undenhrown and dropped by Ellis.
John CrowleN returned to his
punting duties and averaged 31.4
yards on five punts.
Madison began their first
possession at their own 28 and
executed a perfect trick play on the
first play of the game when All-
State tailback Desmond Gee'took
a pitdh from QB Fred Johnson and
lobbed a long' pass to receiver
Jabari Jackson. Gee cut hisway to
a 26-yard gain on .the next play
and Harry Reddick scored the first
touchdown on a seven-yard
fullback dive three plays later to
give Madison a 7-0 lead three
minutes into the game. .,.
The Bulldogs went-three anid out
on two short runs by Jackson and
an incomplete pass to Ingram,
before the Taylor defense made the
first of several big plays--sacking
Johnson for a 21-yard loss on a
fumbled snap. Georgie Armstrong,
Ingram, Billy Joe Wigglesworth.
Jake Meachamn and Jake Wilson all
swarmed on the tackle.
lHowever, Johnson burned the
Bulldogs two pla\s later on 3rd
and 25, taking a OB keeper 65'
yards from his own 11'to the
Taylor 24. A reverse from Gee to
WR Vincent Lee-picked. up 13.
before Lee fumbled and recovered
for a three yard gain. Gee scored
one play later on a one-yard TD
run with 3:46 left in the first
quarter.
'The Bulldogs went three and out
again and despite solid defensive
plays by Scan Padgett and
Meacham, Madison mounted a
nine-play, 72-yard scoring drive
capped by Gee's 22-yard TD run
on a sweep play with 11:13
remaining in the second quarter. .
Taylor, fought back ,with
McNealy scrambling for four yards
and then rolling away from
pressure to heave a 50-yard,
completion to Snead. \ho made a
spectacular diving catch at the
Madison 11,
However, runs by Padgett and
Jackson failed to pick up a first
down and Sean Crowley missed a
27-yard field goal to keep the score
21-0.
Madison had a 10-play, 80-yard
scoring drive capped by a 28-yard
sweep for a touchdown by dee,
who scampered in untouched to
make the score 28-0 with 3:30 to
play in the half.
.Madison attempted an onside
kick, which Taylor recoered.'but
three straight incomplete passes
forced the Bulldogs' fourth punt of
the half.
The Bulldog defense forced
Madison !to 'punt, but .the ball
bounced off of Snead and Madison
recovered at the Taylor 48-yard
line with under a minute to play.
The Cowboys' coaching staff
called two timeouts in an effort to
score, but the Bulldog defense held
with a goal line stand as time ran
out in the first half.

The Cowboys started the second
half with a nine-play, 60-yard
scoring drive capped by Gee's 11-
yard run for his fourth and final
TD, which gave Madison a 35-0
lead.
Taylor mounted a rally with
seven minutes to play in the third
quarter, as Padgett busted up the
middle for six yards. McNealy was
flagged 'for a questionable
intentional grounding penalty--
costing the Bulldogs 15 yards and
a loss of down--but the senior QB
responded by hurling a 46-yard'
pass to Powell, who made a
diving catch at the Madison 38-
yard line.
Padgett ran for three more yards
and on 2nd and 7 Snead made a
highlight reel 36-yard touchdown
catch on another perfect pass by
McNealy to 'give the Bulldogs
their first points of the game.
Sean Crowley's PAT attempt
sailed wide to keep the score 35-6,
but Crowley made a perfect onside
kick that bounced up to Powell for
a' perfect 13-yard return to the
Madison 37-yard line.
On the very next play, McNealy
.fired a laser pass to Ellis on a post
route for a 37-yard touchdown to
cut Madison's lead to 35-13 after
'Crowley's kick.
Fans on both sides :of the
stadium began to make noise on
the ensuing onside kick, but
Madison recovered and.snuffed out
hopes of a comeback with a two-
play drive that covered 58 yards,
capped by a 34-yard touchdown
run by senior runningback Bob
Brown to make; Madison's lead 41-
13

Taylor failed to pick up a first
down and Madison quickly padded
their lead with. a 28-yard punt
return aand a 24-yard'TD run on-
their first play from scrimmage by
Junior defensive end Shavar Akins.
The kick increased the Cowboys'
advantage to 48-13.
McNealy hit Snead (13 yards)
and Powell (11 yards) on quick
passes in the flats for a first down,
.but was picked off on long 3rd
down pass at the end of the third'
quarter.
: A 33-yaid run on first down put
Madison in scoring position and a
personal foul penalty ,on the
Bulldogs set up a one-yard TD run
by the Cowboy's offensive
lineman with 8:33 to play in the
mercy rule-shortened fourth
quarter.
Trailing 55-13, the Bulldogs had
to start from their own ,one-yard
line when Snead couldn't handle
the bouncing kickoff and, Brian
Lynne was tackled in the endzone
for a safety with 6:20 left in the
game.
After the free kick, Madison
started near midfield, but fumbled
on a run up the middle and
McNealy scooped the ball up on
the run and sped down the right
sideline for a 62-yard fumble
return for a touchdown with 3:03
remaining.

Alford's defense expected to begin Thursday


ALFORD
Continued from page 1
of Alford and Fleet brought the
land-swap deal to its knees,
defense attorneys said: Taylor
County politics and interference
from the Becnel development
group.
Federal prosecutors argued
Monday that Fleet lied to
investigators when questioned
about a land swap proposal
involving Okaloosa Island
properties.
FBI agent Steven Harker
testified in U.S. District' Court
that' documents seized through
search warrants contradicted Fleet's
denial that he knew of deals
negotiated in 2004 that gave two
prospective buyers the option to
purchase the same piece of
valuable beachfront property.
Harker's testimony concerning
the nine hours he'd spent between
January .and September
questioning Fleet went all
afternoon, so no defense cross-
examination was possible.
However, his statements did
provide insight into several
avenues of defense for Fleet. a
one-time prosecutor and judicial
candidate.
Testimony showed Fleet had
acted during 2004 as a liaison
between partner and co-defendant
Alford and Richard Massey, a
primary investor in the scheme
Alford had hatched to swap up to
160,000 acres of land in Taylor
County for waterfront property
managed by Eglin Air Force Base.
Fleet sat down with Harker for
the first time in January after the
land -swap had blown up and
Massey had sought a federal
investigation into the transaction.
-, That investigation led to
inddictments being handed down
charging Fleet and Alford with
numerous counts of wire fraud and
-money laundering. Federal
authjoriities allege they spent
.money provided by would-be
:investors in the land-swap deal.
-Onnly Fleet is charged with lying
to-a federal agent.


Fleet, according to testimony
from Harker and others, went to
Massey when Alford needed more
money and was familiar with an
option Massey held to buy an
Okaloosa Island tract known as A-
5 immediately east of the old
Radisson Beach Resort.

Harker testified that Fleet denied
several times knowing the A-5 lot
had been promised not only to
Massey, but also to a development
group headed by Tom Becnel.
"On several occasions Mr. Fleet
said. A-5 was always Mr.
Massey's," Harker said. "That was
a recurring theme, that site A-5
was always Massey's."
But a contract found in Alford's
possession signed Aug. 17, 2004,
by Fleet, Alford and a Becnel
representative, out the sales option
that the Becnel group had received
for the A-5 tract, Harker said.
The defense will likely argue,
according to Harker's recollection
of his meetings with Fleet, that
the Becnel contract signed in
August 2004 had been breached by
the time any deal to sell a portion
to Massey was negotiated.

Before Harker took the stand,
the chair was filled, really filled,.
by Jeff Saturday, the starting
center for the Indianapolis Colts
football team.
Saturday--6 feet 2 inches and
295 pounds--testified that he
negotiated with Alford about
buying the A-5 property. Saturday
said he dropped out after National
Football League, investigators
checked Alford's background.
Rules of evidence would not
allow Saturday to say what in
Alford's past led him and his
partners to step away.
Harker's testimony concerning
his interview with Fleet also
provided more details about the
Air Force's role in negotiating to
trade all of its holdings on
Okaloosa Island as well as a
couple more waterfront parcels in
Walton County.


Car-jacker jailed here


SUSPECT
Continued from page 1
-'During a subsequent interview,
.-Cummings at first, "denied any
.'involvement, then admitted who:
hlie was.. He admitted to stealing'
from Wal-Mart, then running from
the store employees," said Norris.
"Cummings said. when he
approached the victim's vehicle, he
jiunmped in and told the 63-year-old
main he needed a ride. Cummings
-Lstaied that he didn't have a gun,
_ nor did he ever strike the victim,"


Norris said.
"He'said the driver exited thc
vehicle and that he got behind the
wheel and took the vehicle,"
Norris added.
"When I asked him about the
.victim'swife's purse, Cummings
said he didn't know anything about
a purse and that he didn't take
anything out of the vehicle. He
said he was just trying to get
away," Norris said.
Cummings is currently being
held at the Taylor County Jail on
a $15,000 bond..

'Obituary


SRev. Andrew Evans
:.::-The Rev. Andrew Evans, 68,
Died Oct: 1, 2005, in Sanford.
-A member of Shiloh
-Missionary Baptist Church in
_Greenville, he pastored New.'Mt.
Zion Missionary Baptist Church
'i' Greenville and attended
_Greenvile High School. He was
-~biiji to the late Peach Evans and
ithe late Annie Mae Bea in

Austin of Perry; seven sisters,
Jessi Crews of Greenville, Essie
Kirnes of Orlando, Precious
Overstreet, Mary Hugger and
Sonya Sweet, all.of Perry, Annie
Brown of Alabama and Henrietta
Austin of Mt. Dora.
Funeral services will.be held
Friday, Oct. 7, at 11 a.m. in
Sanford. Wilson-Elchelderger,
Mortuary is in charge of the
arrangements.


Harker testified that Fleet told
him that the Air Force, not
Alford, had initiated discussions
about the land swap. Harker said
Fleet told him that three Eglin
representatives--then-encroachment
committee chairman Bob Arnold,
legal representative Don Fitch and
Bob Black, of the Economic
Development Council of Okaloosa
County--had met with Alford as
early as Dec. 28, 2003. Fleet
declined to say, Harker said,
whether that was the meeting to
discuss the land swap for the
Taylor County land.
Dealing with the Air Force grew
frustrating for' him and Alford,
Harker said Fleet told him.
"The problem with making a
deal with the Air Force was that
they never put anything in
writing," Harker said Fleet told
him. "We needed that to show
investors our deal was viable."
The government's case was
scheduled to conclude Tuesday.
The defense is expected to begin
its case Thursday. It's unclear
whether either Alford or Fleet will
testify: Their attorneys have said
that the two conducted business
legitimately, and that the investors
knew what they were getting into.

Letters to the Editor -...


Commissioners need to do 'rightthing'


Dear Editor:
Typically the decisions the
county commission makes oh our
citizen's behalf are fair and
appropriate. ---
With that being said, how sad a
day the last commission meeting
was, when our democratically
elected county officials felt they
were not beholden to those same
democratic ideals for the citizens
they represent regarding the JEA
proposed power plan. I applaud
Commissioner Patterson for her
listening to the citizens of the
county regarding a request to have
the issue of the power plant
location put on a voter referendum.
I am most disappointed in the
other four commissioners who
could not look Commissioner
Patterson in the eye as they
declined to second the motion, nor
look the audience in the eye for
that matter. I believe they have put
their personal opinions above the
clear community outcry on this
-,issue. So here are my questions:
If the commission is so sure they
are doing the right thing, why have
none of them spoken about: this
directly to the citizens during a
public hearing? Why have none of
them outlined specifically what
protections the citizens will receive
both today and long term to


support the verbal promises the
JEA has offered? Why have none
of them mandated that the citizens
who are so divergently opposed on
-hi-issue bp given an opportunity
to decide a fate so potentially
deadly?
I don't know the answers to these
questions and suspect that none of

WalkAmerica

Dear Editor:
The Taylor County community
has once again proven ifs support
of the March of Dimes and our
mission of Saving Babies,
Together. The WalkAmerica event
and fundraising efforts were
strongly supported by the
volunteers of Taylor County. From
the individuals that bought a
sneaker or a beanie baby to the
children who wore sunglasses to
school, the support came in many
different forms.
There are even those that "took
the plunge" to support the cause,
and I would especially like to
thank Randy Hearne, Daryll
Gunter. Emily Ketring, Oscar
Howard, Clay Bethea and Gil
Williams for enduring a morning in
the dunking booth to support the
fundraising efforts.

Jean speaks

to Rotarians
The speaker at the Sept. 20
Rotary meeting was Donna E.
Jean with Covenant Hospice.
The hospice recently opened a
branch office in Perry. Jean said
she expects the office to become a
"full-fledged branch" in the next
year or two.
The hospice opened its
Tallahassee office in June 2003
serving the eight-county Big Bend
area and Perry is its first branch
office. .
"Our clinical team works with
the individual and physicians to
create a complete care plan," Jean
said.
, In November, as part of
National Hospice Month, the
Covenant will hold a Celebration
of Life service.
Beginning next year, support
groups will be formed, Jean said.
In addition, "community
educators" will be available to
make presentations to businesses,
civic groups and members of the
medical field.
"I want to thank the
community." Jean said. "You've
really stepped up to the bat."

Catholic youth and. leaders served spaghetti dinners to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims
For Hurricane Katrina victims

Catholic youth raise $975


The youth of Immaculate Conceptiorr Catholic
Church held a spaghetti dinner on .Sept. 17 in an
effort to provide relief money for the devastation
caused by Hurricane Katrina.
"The group had high hopes of raising possibly as
much as $500 toward this endeavor," explained
Jeanette Edwards, youth director. "Spaghetti and
meatballs, salad and desserts were served at a steady:
pace all through the evening. At the end of the night,
after clean-up and most had gone home, the money
20-year reunion olans underway


was sorted and counted. To their amazement, they far
exceeded their goals and a total of $975 was raised!
"While this was very exciting, since we are such a
small parish and this is a small town, it was not
.shocking because we have repeatedly observed this
kind of generosity and love in our small parish family
and in this community," she added.
The group also received a Proclamation of Special
Recognition from Mayor Emily Ketring, recognizing
the group's efforts in this call for help.

Military action
Crystal D. Parker
Navy Airman Crystal D. Parker, the daughter of Christina A. and James
I. Parker of Perry, departed on a scheduled deployment in support of the
Global War on Terrorism while assigned, to the aircraft carrier USS
Theodore Roosevelt, homeported in Norfolk, Va.
Prior to deploying, Parker and more than 7,500 of her fellow shipmates
Sof the USS Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike. Group successfully
completed a Composite Training Unit Exercise and a Joint Task Force
Exercise (JTFEX). The JTFEX is the final step in preparing the strike
group for deployment, and is designed to test its ability to operate in a
complex, hostile environment with other U.S. and coalition forces.
Carriers like Theodore Roosevelt are deployed throughout the world to
maintain U.S. presence and provide rapid response in times of crisis. They
serve as a highly'visible deterrent to would-be aggressors, and are equipped
with the most versatile and powerful weapons and aircraft available.

in a place of public trust, put in
that place by the citizens of this
county because our commissioners
promised to do the will of the
people when they ran for and were
elected to public office. If our
county commissioners are truly
responsible to their constituents,
then why does it appear they are
afraid to let the citizens of Taylor.
County have a vote on the coal-
fired power plant? Why does the
coal fired plant appear to be a
volatile e issue with the
commission, with a decision
almost made costing an agency
their renewal agreement? It
almost appears that our county
commissioners are afraid to hear
the opinions of the people of this
county.
One man's letter to the editor is
not going to sway public opinion.
Each of us has our own opinion,
and it may not be the same one as'
our -county commissioners, but
this is still a free country and as
citizens, we have a right to our
opinion. As our commissioners,
our representatives, if you are sure
you are doing the will of the
people by bringing the coal fired
power plant to Taylor County,
then a referendum vote will prove
you are correct. This should not
be an issue for retaliation against
citizens voicing their right to be
heard. County commissioners, I
urge you, listen to the people who
put you in that place of trust, you
are at a level of responsibility and
that responsibility is to the
citizens, of Taylor County. Let's
settle this issue once and for all,
and show a level of maturity due
to the position of trust where you
have been placed. Give the
citizens the right to vote "Yes" or
"No" in a referendum. If you are
correct in thinking the citizens of
Taylor County want a coal fired
plant, then a vote will prove you
correct. From reading this article,
it gives an appearance that you are
afraid the citizens, will vote "no"
in a referendum.
Sincerely,
Diana Langston

Thank You


All of us at Buckeye are thankful for the many citizens who
participated last Thursday night in the town hall meeting sponsored
by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.


Some 200 plant neighbors and employees told the FDEP: complete
work on the draft wastewater permit so Buckeye can move forward
and continue to improve the Fenholloway River and Gulf waters
near the river.


This direct, positive message from citizens to the FDEP -- and to
Buckeye was stated numerous ways. All of them were clear and
compelling.


During the meeting, several positive comments were made by
members of the public about Buckeye and Buckeye employees. While
it is hard to say if heartfelt testimonials impact the decisions of
government agencies, we can tell you the kind words that were said
deeply impacted those ofus who work for the company.


Thank you for your support.
