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," '* Please see page 5 39 speak in favor '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 discharge., eliminate direct discharge into the freshwater portion of the S -.

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. Two things beyond the control -* Please see page 8 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. -** Please see page 8 Wh' will be queen?

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."

Gary Boston: "The plant has .a long history of pioneering in environmental controls. Buckeye is making a commitment to move forward."

They have been extremely good neighbors." , Pat Bowlerman: "I don't.think you could find a more conscientious company out there.

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 .without a catch and taken to the YARDSTICK Taylor 3 1.77.

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. TCHS quarterback Genario McNealy hands off to Bryckoski Jackson as offensive linemen Adam Cook and Shane Padgett open a hole. 0 ?t 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.

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.

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.

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. a hP I rl Laid off?

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. :I aco#.flTi es. Wednesday, September 28, 2005 123 S.

Dear Editor: I am tired of people doing things to me without first asking or at least telling me beforehand. I have 22 years of my life to my country, believing that I was doing what needed to be done to make life in the U.S. better and safer. Now because of a government not telling me what they were doing, I am 100 percent disabled. I have several incurable diseases caused by Agent Orange which our federal government said would not harm us. Then they denied responsibility for 30 years.

Many citizens of the Big Bend area have offered to house evacuees or football fans in their home for the weekend. Citizens or organizations with private housing available to evacuees can post the description, and those seeking housing can search by location or other criteria. As of this writing over 40,000 beds had been offered. At this point, the most effective way to help is to donate money and time to the Red Cross. The Capital Area Red Cross has been inundated and blessed with volunteers and is conducting a number of training sessions to prepare our citizens to help in the weeks and months to items delivered to the funeral home. The best people in the world live here in our community, and I consider it an honor to call them my neighbors and friends. ' Tommy Morrow and the staff of Joe P. Burns Funeral Home No banners?

People had to go out on Byron Butler 'Parkway to find any banners identifying a festival was in progress. Again this year, banners 'appear on Byron Butler Parkway but none are downtown. We need banners and identifying flags to assert that a festival is happening downtown--downtown where the parade happens, downtown where the bed race happens, downtown where other events happen.

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.

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. John Crowe President & Chief Operating Officer Howard Drew Site Manager Terrence Reed Plant Manager EYv ii.. NM |
