Five vehicles stolen

Drunken spree ends in arrests

Vehicle owners in Steinhatchee
can breathe a sigh of relief, thanks
to the quick action of Taylor
County Sheriffs Office personnel
who caught two teens involved in a
drunken spree of car thefts and joy

which ultimately turned up a Chevrolet
truck stolen from Dixie County, the day
before. The truck was recovered from
the Steinhatchee River. After five
vehicles were stolen in two counties
. and three vehicle burglaries occurred
during one night, TCSO arrested twol
Steinhatchee men within 36 hours of
the crimes, charging them with multiple.
counts of grand theft auto, burglary and
felony criminal mischief.

"Missing was his Commando

At 6:25 a.m., TCSO received
another report of a stolen vehicle
from a Kings Creek'Circle resident.
The victim said he awoke around
5:30 a.m. and began getting ready

for work. When he was ready to
leave, he noticed his truck missing
from the driveway.
Two hours later, the 2003 black
Ford pick-up was found partially
submerged in the Steinhatchee
River. The TCSO dive team
converged on the scene and the
truck was hooked -up and pulled
from the river.

At 9:29 a.m., yet another report
of a stolen vehicle was reported. A
2nd Avenue North resident told
officers that someone had stolen
his 1999 gray Chevrolet Silverado
during the night. The victim stated
that when he awoke around 7 a.m.,
he noticed the vehicle gone.

'Citizens will not reap power, only pollution'

Dear Editor:
Thirtn-four year-s ago. my wife
and-l mo\ed to Ta\lor County from
Southern California-to get away
from the smog and air pollution.
That smog was often so strong that
it \would burn ,our e\es and choke
your lungs. On many days it %was
'unhealthI to do, any sort of
physical activity' (such as riding a
.bicycle or playing tennis) outside,
and school children had to remain
indoors for recess or "p.e." as
: breathing was harmful.to'your
health.
Now, by definition, "smog" is
just"vapor," andwe (as citizens of '
Taylor County) are supposed to be
-reassured that the massive coal
burning power plant,'which is
proposed to be constructed just two
miles from our home, will just emit
"vapor" from its tall smokestacks.
According ,to "Merriam
Webster's Deluxe Dictionary;
Tenth Collegiate Edition" (page
2043) the number one definition
given for the word "vapor" is
"diffused matter (assmoke or. fog)
suspended floating in the air and
impairing its Iransparency."
During the 34 'years we have

Leon County is getting to vote on
this coal fired plant.
For the third meeting in a.row,

increased mercury deposition,
more smog and soot in .the air

Writer defends school administration

Dear Editor:
This is to respond to a question
concerning school administrators
and their Taylor County residency.
You would not know by the
amount of time that the two head
administrators (principal!dean)
spend ,in Taylor County and at
Taylor County High School that
they did not live here. There are
some things that I don't get
involved with. I don't know
anything about the soccer situation,
but I am so grateful that the two
head administrators at TCHS are
on our Taylor County School staff.

Both have exemplified over the
years hom much they care for our
children. Where they choose
residency has no reflection on
where their hearts are as far as our
youth are concerned. In those two
we have dedication that does not
depend on what town they live in.
If you go to TCHS early in the
morning or late in the evening or
checl some weekends--you will
find one or the both of them there.
Their phone lines are always open,
and even though there have been
times I did not agree with their
decisions, they both try to be fair in

'their discipline. There is no doubt
in my mind that they both have the
best interests of our youth at heart.
The superintendent of schools is
a Perry native/resident. However, I
don't agree with every decision he
makes, but I respect him as being
our superintendent.
No one can please everyone all
the time. Each situation has to be
reviewed and handled. for the
present situation. Right or wrong,

What do you

say, dear?

By SUSAN H. LINCOLN

While awaiting the much-anticipated
2005 Homecoming parade, the husband

eatery.
During our meal, a yO6u'r'g"nan-.nIh'i."
orange and blue came by to pick up an
armload of carryout orders. W\e were
setting near the door, and when he
prepared to exit, he looked around--
wondering how he was going to manage
both the food and the door.
"I'll get it,"' I said, putting my
hamburger down.
"I've got it," said the husband, who
was closer. He put his sandwich down,
walked over to .the door, and held it
open for this student who crossed the
threshold without saying a word.
. "Did he say 'thank you'?" I asked the
husband, fearing the answer.
"Nope," the husband said. "Not a
word,"
"I need a stun gun," Ireplied.
Instead, I eyed a real one.
we were sitting' in the- presence. of
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission officers, with guns in their
holsters. I really wanted to remove a
weapon, rush out onto the street and,
hold the boy at bay. I would ask, at
gunpoint, "What do you say, dear?"
i That very question was the title of
book a good friend gave my first child
many years ago, and the text has stayed
with me. The book presents laughable
situations in which manners might not
be your first concern, but it underscores
the belief that manners are never
inappropriate.
I fear this young man never saw the
book.
I fear that he's not alone.
Recently, one of the morning
television news programs asked, "Are
Americans getting ruder and ruder?"
They performed an- experiment in
downtown Manhattan--an area where.
rudeness was once chic and is still
tolerated. They asked an employee to
stand outside on the sidewalk and open
the door for all those coming and going.
How many would say "thank you?" The
average was something like 11-to-l, the
larger number representing those who
-walked through without saying "a blame
thing."
:Idecided to conduct my own survey
on the downtown streets of Perry. It's a
small town; too many people know me;
there were pitfalls, to be sure, but I was
curious. Despite my unfavorable.
encounter with an orange and blue-clad,
student who didn't say "thanks," I was
confident the 11-to-l statistic would be
flip-flopped in favor of those kind souls
whose mama taught them better.
SAnd I was right. I stood at the front
door of the Taylor County Court House

and my first encounter was with a kind
man who spoke English with a foreign
accent.
"Is that for me?" he asked, actually
ip.intritg-w htW. tn hims ...
"N essir," I said. "How are youfoda
"Fine, fine," he answered, smiling.
"Thank you," he said, nodding in
appreciation.
What a great way to start my research,
and my day.
"I'm waiting for my mom," my second
customer said as she cleared the
doorway, deciding to re-enter. "But[0
thank you." -
And what do you say, dear, when
someone says thank you? "You're
welcome.": : .
My third customer, who said she
worked at the Court Houise, gave me a
pleasant, "Hey, how you doing?", as I
opened the.dQor for'her.
And the two young men who followed
actually picked up their pace to get to
the door as I opened it for them. "Well,
thank ya," said one. "How are you
doing?" said the other.
Five out of five: I was batting a
thousand with only 15 minutes
invested, but the workers inside the
Court House were pointing and
speculating. What do you think they
were saying, dear?
So I shifted to the opposite entrance
of the Court House where two visitors
: said, "Thank you," another said, "Thank
you, dear" and the third--an attorney--
Sasked pointedly, "Are you doing
investigative reporting?," quickly
Followed by a "Thank you."
Then there were two who walked
through the door without so much as a
"kiss my foot," but they were followed
by five others who remembered the
correct answer to "What' do you say,
dear?"
SThank you.
.1 shifted-to the bakery, opened a few
doors at the county's administrative
office and my own newspaper office
door. I got a couple of thank yous, a
hearty "Good morning" while one
longtime friend blew his car horn'at me
from a line of traffic and a young
student in orange and blue, with a
toboggan upon his head, waved and
-spoke. Afte'r- 40 opened doors, my
research overwhelmingly favored
manners, 34-6, which means you can be
a lawyer or:a criminal (or both), and still
say "thank you."
You don't need an academic degree.
It doesn't cost a thin dime.
It only takes two seconds.
Is it really so much to ask? No.
So what do you say dear? Thank you.
As often as you can.
Thank you.

research I did then, and more
ricenil, from the research I have
"',in able to obtain ,over' the
I ternet, I am still convinced.that
ithere.is no such thing as a "clean"
,;coal power plant, any more than
.;there' is a "safe" cigarette. The

difference is that my family and I
don't have to smoke that unsafe
cigarette, but we will all have to
breathe the polluted air coming
out of that tall coal smokestack in
our backyard. It seems that a tall
smokestack on a coal-powered
power plant does not filter out the
pollution, it just spreads it over a
larger area.
I may well be in the minority
on the issue/blessing off Taylor
County being picked/"picked-on"
for the location of a coal-powered
power plant, but I still have the

following unanswered questions:
1. Since the North Florida
Power Project cannot legally-pay
taxes in Taylor County,, exactly
how much and for how long are
they going to contribute/"bribe"
Taylor County to pollute our air
and environment?
2. If this power plant is to be so
clean and pollution-free as the
North Florida Power Project
representatives claim, why do they
want to build it so far away from
Jacksonville' and the other areas
where the power is 'to be
consumed?

qL

3. Why can't the citizens (not
just the civic leaders) vote on this
issue and express how much or
how little of a citizens' mandate
actually exists in Taylor County
to invite a coal-powered plant to
come to our community?

this coal-fired plant in without any
public input.
We need a vote!
Sincerely,
Gale Dickert

lestions
County commissioners, prove
that deep down you really believe
in democracy, even for citizens of
Taylor County on this matter.

other schools who does not reside
in Taylor County. I don't know if
this is, true or not, but I 'don't
'question the love and dedication a
person has,for our youth based on
where they have chosen residency.
Most people do what is best for
their total family situation. I am
sure their family has made many
sacrifices to permit them to serve
in Perry at the level they have
over the years. Neither have just
started being dedicated since they
received their current
responsibilities. They have been
dedicated for.as long as I have
know them both.
I pray Taylor County residency
does. not become a criteria for
administration. We would not
have a lot of leaders in Taylor
County, in various places of.
employment if this were so.

Bulldogs

make

play

.By AARON PORTWOOD
It was hard not to run into a
football hero as Bulldog fans
stormed the field in wild
celebration Friday night after
Taylor County's thrilling 26-19
district overtime victory over
favored Fort White.
Led by record-setting
performances by senior QB
Genario' McNealy and senior wide
receiver/cornerback Tony Powell,
as well as late-game heroics by
junior tight end/linebacker Jake
Meacham and sophomore kicker
'Shawn Crowley, the Taylor
County Bulldogs upset Fort White.
26-19 in overtime'to advance to
the play-offs for the first time in
six years.
'Sophomore junior varsity call-
up Jarvis McGrew blocked an
extra point kick early in the game
that would later allow the
Bulldogs to force overtime.
Junior Gerald Walker recovered a
fumble to save a'first half scoring.
drive and blocked a punt that gave
the Bulldogs field position for a
game-tying fourth-quarter drive to
force overtime. ...
Senior offensive/defensi' e
lineman Billy Joe Wigglesworth
made several 'huge :tackles for
losses late in the game.
Senior offensive lineman Kane
Miguel continued to lead the
Bulldogs' offensive attack despite
playing with a twisted ankle,
while junior linebacker Georgie
Armstrong,' playing despite a
dislocated knee cap, came up with
a pair of big tackles on a goal line
stand that ended in an interception
and perhaps made the hit of the
season on the Indians' top
runningback in the final quarter.
Greg Sneed. Sebastian Ingram,
"Marquis Ellis and-'Jiseph Proenza
all had huge receptions. Freshman
junior varsity call-up Curtis Jones
gained 66 yards on 16 carries in
his first-ever varsity start at
runningback.
Junior lineman Adam Cook
played on both sides of the ball
and had several key defensive
stops, senior fullback/linebacker
Sean Padgett had vet another solid
outing and ne\er left the field on
offense. defense and special teams.
Some fans may forget some of
the individual plays turned in by
-these unlikely heroes mentioned
above, but no one who witnessed
Friday night's inspired come-from-
behind win will soon forget
McNealy rolling to his left on a
4th and 1 bootleg from theone-
yard line in o ertime and lobbing
a pass to a wide-open Meacham in
the endzone.'
The ball hung: in the air for
what seemed, like an eternity
before Meacham cradled it into his
pads and was crushed under a pile
of exhilarated teammates,
That one-yard TD pass capped
what is believed to be a school-
record performance by NlcNeaki,
who completed an eye-popping 21
of 36 passes for 337 yards .and
three touchdowns, with no .
interceptions.
Powell ma) have also set a:
school record with eight receptions
for 197 yards and one touchdown.
to go with his crucial second-
quarter interception in the endzone
as the Indians were threatening to
score from the five-yard line and
two kick returns for 46 yards.
Crowley, who kicked a 25-yard
field goal for'the Bulldog' only
points of the first quarter. then
struggled punting the ball all
night (averaging only 19 yards on'
five kicks) and missed an extra
point in the fourth quarter before'
rebounding with a clutch'35-yard
field goal to send the game into
overtime, calmly booted the extra
point through the uprights to"
finish with eight of-the Bulldogs'
26 points.
Taylor Countly trailed for the
entire game until Crowley' nailed
the 35-yard field.goal with 35
seconds remaining in the game to
tie the score at 19-19.
The Taylor County defense,
which gave up 32S yards of
offense, but: held Fort White
below -its 25 points-per-game
average, had its best series of the
season in overtime as Meacham

Fort White ran the exact same
play that first-year Bulldogs' Head
Coach Price Harris called to score
in overtime, but Powell broke the
hearts of hundreds of Indian fans
and players by leaping over the
Fort White tight end and knocking
the pass away at the'last-possible
second to end the game.
Pandemonium broke loose at
Dorsett Stadium. As hundreds of
fans, cheerleaders and parents
stormed the field to celebrate with
overjoyed Bulldog players and
coaches, Indian players collapsed
in agony, with many failing to
hold back tears .as their record-
setting dream season ended,
without their planned second-ever
trip to the play-offs.
Fort White carme'into the game
with its best-ever record (7-1), led
by QB Jake Gilmer, who had
already set the school record for
TD passes and was on the verge of
setting records for completions and
yards passing; and a defense that.
was on pace to set a record for
fewest points'allowed in a season.
The Indians--who w ere
'attempting to complete a 9-1'
season after,going,1-8 last year
afid 1-9 in 2003.(\when their only,
'win came over Taylor County, 41-
34 'in the ,season-opener)--were
undefeated in away games (4-0),
promptifig some comments from
players and coaches in. a
'hometown, newspaper that ended
up on the.Bulldogs' bulletin board.
Instead it will be Taylor County
making a return to the:playoffs' for
the first time since 1998 (when
they'lost to Hamilton County in
the first round, one' year after
winning the 1997 Class 3A State
Championship).
The Bulldogs will finish the..
regular season against Jefferson
County next week in Monticello
:before traveling to Pensacola

Bulldogs, 39-yard line.
SUsing four different
ruhningbacks, Fort White quickly.
took a 6-0,lead by driving 39 N yards
in seven plays and scoring on
fullback Ervin Armstrong's six-
yard. run off tackle. However,
McGrew blockedthe PAT to.keep
the score 6-0 with 8:12 left in the
first quarter..
Powell returned the kickoff 16
yards to the 20 and the Bulldogs
moved -the ball well--despite the

the game due to. disciplinary
reasons--as Jones took a pitch for

Jones fumbled a handoff on the'
next play and Walker alertly fell

TCMS girls soccer team

to play dads to raise $$$

Coach Dale Brewer promises "a boat load of laughs and a good time for
all," as his Taylor County Middle School soccer girls take on their dads in
the fundraiser, aptly called, "Dads vs. Daughters."
The game will be held on Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. immediately following
the TCMS boys soccer team home opener against Florida High at 5:30.
Admission will be one dollar, "or however much a person wants to
donate," Brewer said. "Remember, this is a fundraiser."
He reports, "The trash talking started early as eighth grader Kelsea
Smyrnios' father,.Manuel, told his daughter 'I have seen you all practice,
you aren't that good. We will beat you bad.'
"Once the girls stopped laughing at the thought of their dads playing
soccer, they had some words of their own. Eighth grader Gloria.Taylor
said, 'There is no way they are in good enough shape to play us. We will
run circles around them.'
"All are invited to watch the festivities or the comedy, whichever
applies," Brewer said.

In all, five vehicles were stolen
by the pair and at least three
vehicles were burglarized.
The two young men admitted to
being extremely drunk during their
night of "car stealing and joy
riding," said Towles, but "they
were also helpful in the recovery
of almost all of the stolen items
from the other burglarized
vehicles."

Towles said he was extremely
proud of the TCSO officers who,
worked this case.

and cooperation between two
counties, we gathered the

riot have anything of value in the
vehicle. A thief may not want

thing has been a case-in-point," he
added.

which they need help solving.
Around 3:20 a.m. on Oct. 8, a
red 2004 Ford F-150 four-wheel
drive truck, with a gold band. across
the bottom, was reported stolen
just minutes ago from a Riverside
Drive, residence. Dixie County
Sheriff's Office was notified,
which quickly located the vehicle.
A high-speed chase ensued into
Fanning Springs and a request was
made to Levy County's Sheriffs
Office for assistance.
Dixie and Levy counties
deputies lost sight of the vehicle
and the pursuit ended. The truck
was last seen heading towards
Gilchrist County. Again, the
owner reported leaving his keys in
the truck, but said he locked the
door by using his touch pad
keyless entry.
On Oct. 15, a charcoal gray
Nissan Armada was stolen from a
207 N1W 2nd Avenue residence
