According to a report filed by Perry Police Department Ptl. Kristina L. Reis. a student at the school, Jared Charles Blount. 17. paid for breakfast with a dollar bill which "smelled like marijuana." When Principal Jim Brannan was alerted to this, he went to Blount with the bill and pulled him from his classroom. "Brannan asked Blount to smell the dollar bill and tell him what it smelled like," Reis said, "and Blount said it smelled like marijuana. Brannan, informed him that it was the same bill he had paid for breakfast with. "Brannan then asked him if he had any illegal substances on him and Blount produced a burned rolling .paper, a partially burned' marijuana cigarette, a lighter and a $5 bill." Brannen said he also noticed a pill bottle and asked Blount what was in it, said Reis. "Brannan said that Blount hesitated and then took the container from his pocket." said Reis. "The container had what appeared to be crack cocaine in it." Blount was taken to the front office where Brannan contacted police. While in the office, Blount also surrendered six small bags of marijuana which were concealed in his pockets. Brannan told police that "Blount had never been a problem at TLC and was very respectful to teachers," according to Reis. "Blount also told Brannan.that he was going to sell the drugs, but not at school." Blount was transported to the Taylor County Jail, where he was charged with felony possession of cocaine with intent to sell on school grounds, possession of marijuana with intent to sell on school grounds and possession of drug paraphernalia on school grounds. The Department of Juvenile Justice was also contacted and the drugs were sent to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for analysis, according to Reis.

"They are still developing plans but they see a lot of growth potential'for the Perry plant." Brown said.

"Tom's has got a lot of committed, loyal employees,' Singer said. "It's got a great customer base. It gives us capacity to grow and it has very good". locations that will help ouFr.. transportation costs." The Perry plant, which will celebrate 25 years of operation in 2006, employs about 75 people. Lance, based in Charlotte, N.C., employs about 4,500 people with manufacturing facilities in Charlotte; Burlington, Iowa; Hyannis. Mass.; and Ontario, Canada.

LINCOLN Managing Editor In Taylor County last year, there were 161 convictions for domestic violence. That compares to 96 in Madison County. And both statistics are derived from incidents reported, leaving professionals to speculate on how many other incidents' go .,,. unreported. S The -news can be grim, Meg Baldwin admitted to the Perry Woman's Club, 'but "there is a light on the horizon." Baldwin, who is the new executive director of Refuge House, Inc., which oversees S shelters in this region, shifted the S spotlight to local refuge director, Debra McGrew, and noted that 549 individuals were served by Taylor .County's refuge which: housed 97 women and children; fielded 408 hotline calls; provided transportation to numerous victims; *., and offered counseling and safety planning, while educating 56 children on safety plans and how to call 911. Baldwin reminded her audience of the national statistic which shows that one in four (or maybe even one in three, she admitted) women are subjected to domestic violence in the form of a physical assault from a spouse or boyfriend. Statistics also show that in half of the families where domestic violence occurs, children are involved. Domestic violence can include all uses of control to dominate and intimidate a person, she said, listing these: physical force S humiliation coercive sex f - i frami ly and frie nds controlling contact with the outside world Using money as a control Using children as a tool to dominate ultimately, showing the Victim "who's boss."

The Big Bend is growing. The demand for space and land is here. Why sell cheaply?. Manage the growth and maintain our assets. To our local workers who have chosen construction trades, I would say: stay on the road, make those big bucks but leave your family and neighbors in cleaner air. To some of our unemployed: education and work-habits may be a larger factor than lack of jobs; improve these areas. Growth alone does not eliminate unemployment or poverty. This could be the biggest thing that will impact Taylor County for more than 50 years into the future. Why should it be decided by five people? If not, then what is the harm in taking time and getting citizens involved? The commissioners' decision to bring in a power plant was hurried and * not even on the board agenda for citizens to be aware, yet it will impact every citizen in Taylor County for the next three generations and beyond. Commissioners, give citizens an opportunity to guide Taylor County's future. Sincerely, Richard L. "Abe" Whitfield By CHRISTOPHER TEAF, PH.D.

This conclusion can be drawn from a detailed evaluation of a variety of important measures including sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, particles, organic compounds and metals Christophe (including mercury). Contrary to misdirected recent public criticism, technical staff of the agencies responsible for review of all aspects of the project including, among others, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, state/federal fish and wildlife agencies, and the Suwannee River Water Management District, have the expertise, authority and professional commitment to ensure protection of health and the environment. Recent improvements to the environment in a number of areas in Florida, including at least a 60% mercury decrease in fish and wildlife of the Everglades, provide encouraging evidence that aggressive regulator) efforts, which started in the 1980s to control mercury from paints, electrical devices and waste incinerators are paying off.

As an environmental health eaf, professional with over 25 years' SP experience in the assessment of risks. and as a lifelong asthmatic, the demonstration of safe air quality is of great importance to me, as it should be to all residents. It is well-recognized that our family history, the foods we eat, the indoor air we breathe, and outdoor air quality are influences on respiratory health for children and adults. We are fortunate that our air in North Florida is good. and I remain professionally and personally confident that it will remain good when this plant is operating in Perry. If the older generation of historically dirtier power plants in the Northeast and Midwest U.S. were able. or willing, to install sophisticated technology like that of the Taylor County NFPP facility, we could all breathe more easily.

V tr -- -- I - Letters to the Editor Festival board commended for 'good job' Dear Editor: I just wanted to say what a good job the Festival Committee did this year. The parade was very good, and the festival was wonderful as usual. I entered the contest at K-Mart for dinner with the "American Idol," Justin Guarini. Well, to my surprise, I was one of the winners. We were fortunate enough to have dinner catered by Mama's Italian Restaurant, and it was great! There were, four winners, the winner of the Karaoke Contest, and Justin sitting at the table having dinner. This young man had a wonderful, enlightening personality. He was very open and honest about his hopes and dreams for the future. He also talked "to us," not "down to us." He asked us if we had any questions, and answered every one of them. He Writer: Festival decorations lacking Dear Editor: What do the following have in common? Birthday party, weddings, 50th wedding anniversary and the prom. The answer is obvious: a celebration. In anticipation of these events certain things happen: 1) the spic and span cleaning, 2) new clothes, 3) the appropriate decorations of streamers, banners, a new dress, a prom gown and tux and of course a new hairdo for this special occasion. Each step generating more excitement to the final event. Forty-four years ago my parents bought the house I live in today, From this vantage point we have had the unique position of observing the growth and changing new face of the Pine Tree Festival to the Florida Forest Festival. We have watched the parade being moved from its original starting point of Jefferson Street and College Drive (now Veterans Drive) to the front of the Woman's Club. No longer arewe able to sit on our porches or on the balcony of Angela Ball's house and view the parade start to finish. That point is moot because it really is only a minor inconvenience. What is not a miioot point is the skipping of all the steps to the festival. 1) The spic and span cleaning of the city. We Perry residents could count on the annual sweeping of the city streets along the parade route and around the courthouse square. No other time can we see the'streel sweeping event. Apparently, the annual sweeping of the city streets is a thing of the past because no city streets were swept by the big brush sweeping machine. The sand, dirt,, leaves, and debris remained unswept for our visitors to see. Maybe it was to get better traction for the bed race around the square. The city public works guys were as usual prompt in the New resident has questions Dear Editor: I have been following, with: much interest and concern, the news regarding the pending construction of a coal fired electric plant' I am new to the county (four months) so this came as.a surprise to.me as nothing was said when the land was acquired. I find many questions running through my head that I feel the' county commissioners have not answered fully, and many thoughts about the dollars that are "suppose" to come to the county. Reading the paper and attending the meetings, it sounds like a done deal for the plant without any positive returns to the' community.. If the headlines of the Taco Times of Sept. 14 are accurate, "Power plant picks Taylor County," I would like to know what other choices they had. Also, if Madison County told them a' flat "no, not here," what other counties did the same? How can you pick something if you don't have choices? Or were they openly invited? Already the JEA representative has deleted 200 jobs from the construction list (1,500 down to 1,300) and 30 from the end line employment list (180 to 150). This within the past few weeks; with the projected length of the project, how many other deletions will occur? Having the technical school ready to train young people for jobs sounds good. Do you realize that the people you are speaking :of are 11 and 12 now? How do you know that they will want these jobs when they are 17 and 18 and getting out of high school? What skill does it take to shovel goal from a mound to a furnace? What are the high-end jobs these students will be training for? What are the salary ranges? cleanup detail immediately after the parade. 2) New clothes. Apparently, the only people who had new clothes were the queens riding the floats. I must also say that I was embarrassed for one queen--she had to stand on a float that apparently was thrown together at the last minute and unfinished. 3) Appropriate decorations. I have called and written about the lack of decorations for the parade route and courthouse surround decorations. The kid's parade had a tacky plastic sign attached to the Jefferson Street City Park as the only revelation of anything happening downtown that Saturday. For the 50th anniversary of the festival a similar plastic sign. I called the festival committee, the chamber and MainStreet each blamed one another for the failure to decorate and dress the downtown for the 50th anniversary. MainStreet even said it was the fault of the downtown merchants. I then called the mayor and she later reported that decorations were to be placed in the City Park in the trees for Saturday's parade on Wednesday by the city public works. I hope, of course, the city did not pull a muscle putting up that single plastic sign. One person at chamber said the green festival signs were-out of Highway 19/27. The green signs were but that was not where the parade was happening. That was also an excuse for not following through with the city dressing in celebration of a 50th anniversary? Pat Cook wasn't in any hurry to leave, either. It was a day I won't soon forget, thanks to the pictures, and memories I will carry with me for a long time. Thanks again to all who were responsible for this special day. Happy 50th!

Box 888, Perry, FL 32348 B-5 The Taco Times October 26, 2005- Letters tothe Editor Coal-mining film called'biased, o Dear Editor: I had the pleasure of attending the public meeting held in Perry, Florida, on Thursday evening, September 15, at the request of the North Florida Power Project. Opponents of the power project presented a film produced by a group based in Tennessee that is opposed to coal mining. In my opinion, this film is not a fair and balanced depiction of coal mining and its presentation is no way to foster a fact-based discussion of the proposed plant. The film; "Kilowtt Ours," contains some very impressive scenes of surface mining in West Virginia, including the requisite footage of blasting used to excavate the rock above the coal seam, Also included are the comments of a distraught local man who has been feuding with a coal company apparently because his family cemetery is located near the mine site. The mining activity shown in Letter criticizes judging Dear Editor: that's who... and he did not even There were several talented place. I am: ashamed of the people that 'sang at the festival. judging and Chris, I apologize 'for There was only one truly the huge error made by the judges, exceptionally talented person that and their obvious poor ability to sang that night and the fact that, recognize talent that was far and the judges did not recognize that above anything else heard that talent is shameful. night Who, when he sang got hoots God is in charge of your life, he and whistles and claps...

You are a great young they thought won was yelled out man. loud and clear... Chris Jackson, Sharon Schlick 'Serious issues mustbe faced' DEMOCRATS Continued from page 2 qualii) of life. At the same time however, , Taylor County Democratic Executive Committee has not issued any resolution in support of the coal plant. A look at the environmental reality of today will help explain this. In Alaska today entire towns are being.relocated because the permafrost on which they are built is. thawing and the towns are sinking. A massive. beetle infestation in millions of:, acres in south-central Alaska has destroyed much of the spruce bark in the forest because significantly warmer weather is delaying the usual winter die-off of insect populations and the Glacier National Park which had over 150 glaciers when it was created in 1910 has less than 30 today. In China, highland glaciers shrink by an amount equivalent to all the water in the Yellow River every year and a staggering seven percent of the country's glaciers vanish annually. The human cost could be immense. since 300 million Chinese live in the country'sarid west and depend on water from the glaciers for their survival. In Europe. nearly two-thirds of North Sea fish stocks have left their normal habitat to seek cooler 'Teil other 14% to just sit down' MOSES Continued from page 2 Did you know? Every session of congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayers since 1771. Did you know? Fifty-two of the '55 founders 'f the constitution where members of established orthodox churches of the colonies. Did you know? Thomas Jefferson worried that the courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law,- would begin making law an oligarchy, "the rule of few over many." SDid you know? The very first supreme court justice, John Jay, said, "Americans should select and. prefer Christians as their rulers." How then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have dqne for 220 years in this country is now suddenly .wrong and ; unconstitutional? As "one nation under God," it is said that 86 percent of Americans believe in God. Therefore, it is very.hard to understand why there is such a mess about having the ten commandments on display or "in God we trust" on our money and having God in the pledge of 'allegiance. Why don't we just tell the other 14 percent to sit down and be still. I believe in God, I am a Christian and I am an American! I am, Ted Colson waters further north because of global warming. This is a: startling picture of environmental reality. These are events happening today: Carbon dioxide levels are rising, mercury .levels are so high that the government is recommending eating less fish, ice shelves are collapsing and glaciers are melting, exotic species are invading northern regions, mountain streams are drying up. This list goes on. In much of the United States, spring arrives about two weeks earlier than .it did 50 , years ago. Tropical bird species have appeared here in Florida and along the Gulf Coast. These are not computer models of what may happen 50 or 100 years from now. These are huge changes happening to our world right now. This is not a legacy we will leave our children because the environmental changes are now happening at such a rapid rate that. all of us will be impacted in the very near future. You may have noticed how warm this September was and how late our fall came. It was the warmest S'etemlber globally since the beginning of reliable instruments to track weather temperature. For many years large constituents of'the Democratic Party have been marginalized as "Environmental Wackos." Today, as the ice caps melt and as environmental devastation hifs closer and closer to home, the Environmental Wackos are those whoican so easily' ignore reality, pretend this is a problem far in our future, denounce the environmental destruction that is occurring as a liberal plot and continue to advocate do-nothing, policies.. The Taylor County Democratic Executive Committee believes that we are at a point where all Americans must become environmental activists. We can no longer afford to pretend this is a problem that is somewhere in the far distant future. It is here today. At the same time, we cannot ignore economic reality or refuse to make tough economic/ environmental decisions. QClean coal technology has come a long way. It will provide affordable energy without environmental degradation. Today, it is part of the answer while coal burning with older technology remains part' of the problem. We stand behind all of our, county's elected commissioners; Malcolm Page, Jack Brown, Patricia Patterson, Daryll Gunter and Clay Bethea and the tough decisions they make on issues. such as the coalplant. Clean coal technology will bring a lot of badly needed economic activity into our County. We also encourage the citizens of Taylor County to join us in promoting environmental security and increasing public awareness of the serious issues we face. Neil Shotton, Chairman Taylor County Democratic Executive Committee the film appears to be that of a "mountaintop" surface mine in West Virginia, with an emphasis on the dramatic. Mountaintop mining is a localized and specialized coal mining technique that currently only accounts for less than five percent of the coal produced in the US, a share that continues to fall over time. While this type of mining provides the best drama to tell a biased story, it is not representative of most coal mining in the US. More importantly, the film pointedly. neglects to show the mined land after it has been reclaimed and restored to .a pre-approved condition or use. I was heartened to hear at least one Taylor County resident note in his comments during the meeting that coal mines in the US must be reclaimed after mining. In fact, all US coal mines must have detailed reclamation plans approved by the appropriate US,, state, and ,local regulatory authorities prior to mining. Coal producers must post bonds or provide other financial guarantees to ensure that adequate funds are available to complete the reclamation' process, which normally begins concurrent with active mining at the site. According to current law, the site must be returned to the approved condition and use. There are no. exceptions. Coal mines are like most construction sites which also temporarily disturb the land. Such sites are not very attractive in the midst of the construction activity-- particularly if compared with the "before" state of the land. The, '"after"- pictures of housing developments, shopping malls, office complexes or schools are much more appealing. The film shows no "after" pictures of ne-sided' surface coal mines--post- reclamation--because in Wesg Virginia these sites are a vertj impressive catalog of beneficial post-mining condition and uses. " The film implies a vast leveling" of the mountains of WestM Virginia. In fact, if it is pre- approved in the mining permit; land that is not returned to itg original condition may be used for. 'development of schools, hospital', industrial complexes, golf courses;' Other sites are restored for wildlife' habitat or recreational areas. I have been studying the US- coal industry for over 25 years,- working both for coal consumers and coal producers and I aiit acutely aware of the critical contribution of coal to out-- nation's energy requirements, However, one need only pick up -the morning paper or watch the: nightly network news to- understand the importance of coal. as a low cost and environmentally sound energy alternative to natural. gas. Natural gas is currently selling for over $14 per million Btu. This is several times higher.: than the estimated cost of coal. delivered into Northerh Florida from sources throughout the United States. If. they haven't already, Florida residents are soon. to endure sharp increases in electricity rates due to soaring- natural gas prices. The biased and one-sided- depiction of coal mining in West- Virginia in "Kilowatt Ours" is-- grossly unfair to the US coalI industry and intentionally- misleading to the citizens of Taylor County. Perry E. Bissell, Ph.D;-- Senior Market/Transport Analyst John T. Boyd Company Nature Coast or toxic coast? QUESTIONS Continued from page B-3 If is being stated that the economy will benefit from the workers spending opney in the area. What is preventing them .fromgetting their, checks and heading to Tallahassee, south or west? There isn't any way anyone can make a statement of the flow of dollars into the county when you don't know' who will be living here. The two words that I hear most are jobs and imorey. Granted they are both important to the economy of any community, because that is what makes the wheels go 'round. But are all sides being considered for the long haul? What is the economic impact going to be when the building' is over? Tourism makes the wheels go 'round too. Build it up. Capitalize on it, I would like some answers from the county: 1.) Is there any guarantee of the amount of money that will flow back to the county, not from the supposed spending of the workers, but from JEA and Disney, who are profiting at our expense of the pollution they are going to create over and in Taylor County? 2.) What will this money be used fo'? Schools? The hospital?. Homeland security? Children in general? A reduction in everyone's taxes by 25 percent? 3.) The railroad tracks through the county that 100 coal cars will use--are they stable enough to carry that much weight? Are the roads, bridges and overpasses stable enough to carry that much weight day after day? Who will be responsible if there is an accident on the wrong side of those tracks where emergency equipment, cannot get-through? What land is being used for the spurs that need to be built to carry the cars to the dumping site? Does the coal sit in the cars until used or is there going'to be a mountain of coal out there? Dust blowing in the four winds? 4.) My understanding is that Taylor County will not be getting any power from the plant--it is all going hundreds of miles from here and JEA is tax exempt, not paying any taxes. How much land is being taken off the tax rolls with. their purchases. How much revenue is being lost by this purchase? 5.) JEA gave a good speech saying that they would use local businesses when they can. Have you checked your phonebook? You can't even get a paving company to fix your roads in a timely manner--do you really think the two lutiber companies, five pliimbers, two electrical contractors, four building contractors, three excavating contractors, two concrete dealers and the closest brick/clay company (which is in Tallahassee) will supply what is needed for this massive undertaking? Where will all the concrete trucks come from, adding additional stress to all ready over-burdened roads? 6.). Has a study been done of the toxins from Buckeye mixing with the toxins from the coal-fired power plant? What are, they creating? Anything more harmful than what is currently being cast off to'cause illness, greenhouse effects and polluted waters? According to EPA, Taylor County is first in the state for releasing lead into the air and second in the state for releasing chloroform into the air (this is also a cancer risk). This data was obtained from the EPA Pollution Information web site. Of courseit goes without saying Buckeye is the top dog in this category for the county (polluter). Of the facilities releasing TRI (toxic release inventory) chemicals within the state, Buckeye is 13th on the list, JEA from Jacksonville is sixth on the list and third on tie list is the Crystal River Energy Complex (Progress Energy). Nuclear power. The Nature Coast is fast becoming the toxic coast. No c-i- a-1 (continuous obnoxious assault on life). If a vote on this issue :is prohibitive money wise, perhaps JEA should be made to pay for tt.. If the commissioners--duly elected --really feel that they are speaking of the populace and refuse to otter. a referendum, then here is my vote-no. If there are others out there who have an opinion on this--write, send your ballot to your commissioner, be heard, don't be the silent majority. Act now. It doesn't matter if you would vote yea or-nay, you have a right to be heard and a right to have answers to the above questions. You are the citizens of this county. Protect it. Remember your taxes pay salaries.
