Tay county y Since 1961 i aA capital of the .... No.46 ...,,, ,, .4 'a"0.46 FDLE probes shooting death on Beach Road A 25-year-old Perry man was found dead of a gunshot wound to his head during the early hours of Josh Massey Sunday morning, but law enforcement is releasing no facts on the case except to say that it is " still under investigation. Joshua L. Massey, who worked as a mechanical engineer with Ffu- Con in Perry, had been at a friend's house near Jabo Beach for several hours preceding his death, according to one witness who was also present. According to a witness, the friends had been "hanging-out," cooking venison at the residence and sharing "a.few beers." Around 3 a.m., Massey told some of the others present that he wanted to take his truck "into the woods." Massey was discovered approximately 20 minutes later, off Ocean Pond Road and fully parked'. on Beach Road, with the headlights on and the truck running. An autopsy was conducted Monday morning, but results will not be released until a later date. Doctors' Memorial Hospital Emergency Medical Services was called to the scene, but according to Assistant Director Michael Lundy, "a quick examination' at the Scene led medics to the conclusion that Massey's condition was not conducive to human life. We pronounced him dead at the scene, and then left, as it was the site of an investigation."

For city manager Brown accepts job offer Bob Brown will be the top administrator for the City ot Perry. According to Mayor Emily Ketring, Brown has accepted the council's offer to serve as city 'manager. "We are now finalizing the paperwork, although we haven't -et a day as to when he will.start 0 ith the city," Ketring said. Brown was the.top choice for the job, which became available with the retirement of Bill Brynes. He is currently plant manager.for the local Lance food plant (formerly Tom's Foods). "I am.very happy that they have shown the confidence in me to offer me the position and I,1pok forward to working with City of Perry," Brown said Tuesday. "I'll be working with the vision of the city council and together,'we'll see what it takes to, move the city forward." A graduate of the University, of Louisville, Brown has more than S 25 .years' professional leadership and management experience in both the public and private sectors. S During his nearly 20.years of residency in Perry, he has served on a number of local and regional organizations, including the city's planning and zoning. boards and the hospital board of directors. To date, no one has compiled a budget to address maintenance and security concerns for the park, which boasts 109 sprinkler heads, dozens of lights and an eternal flame fueled by natural gas. "We don't have any plans for the maintenance of the.park--it's a city park and the city will be responsible' for its upkeep," Veterans Memorial Park Chairman Pam Feagle told the city council last week.. SMayor Emily Ketring asked that the issue be put on the Tuesday niight agenda, noting that it had been brought to'her attention that there would be additional costs to the city for'the park and that those costs had not been added to the city's budget. "I don't know that we ever budgeted or discussed funding for Son-going maintenance. It was my understanding that, the veterans committee would commit (funds) for the upkeep and 'electricity costs," Councilman Doug, Everett said. "But now we (the council) have to figure out where those funds'will be coming from," he said. "In concept, it's a city park and it would be maintained by the city," Feagle said. "But the city (council) isn't making any decisions regarding the park," Ketring said. "This council was presented a plan for the park...this committee has not hidden anything about what it would entail," Feagle.said. "After (former city manager) Bill Brynes presented, it to the council,that the park would be a city park, we said if that were the case, we needed to be in control of the funds. Right now, the committee is out theke spending money:'we don't have," Everett said. "The main issue is that we don't have any money for, on-going expenses. And I have never heard that we.needed to," Ketring said. "This is news to me," agreed Councilman Sylvester Harris. "Well, it sounds like an oversight in the council's behalf," Feagle said. "I don't know what it will cost to run the park and I don't know what it will take to maintain. It is the council's responsibility as to how you maintain a city park," Feagle said. "I'm new to this, but I have three suggestions just thinking right off the top of the my head--one being, We love our Dawgs!

(Photo by Wayne Dunwoody) seek corporate sponsorship for-on- going maintenance cost. And, I mean, no disrespect by this, but could we relocate the flame that is currently at the courthouse and save that expense? A third thing would be retaining some of the money the city gave the park and investing it to generate interest that. would support maintenance costs. How much of 'that has been spent?," Councilman Don Cook asked. "The whole $200,000," Feagle replied. "But we control the checking account, so if we wanted to designate a portion..." Everett said. "That money was: deemed for construction," Feagle said. "But we have that right...the money comes from a lot of different sources," Everett noted. "Veterans are down there every day spending their time to see this park come to completion. This being brought up is a great disappointment to me. It's almost like it's late in the game...this should .have been discussed earlier," Feagle said. "Nobody here respects veterans more than I do. But I also have a fiscal' responsibility to city taxpayers. I think at this point we need to move forward and create a business plan to determine what maintenance costs will be," Ketring said. "I think we need to identify the costs and see what it would take to move the eternal flame at the courthouse, down to the park," Cook said. -' Please see page 3 Garbage fees may increase in county Commissioners voted last week to advertise an ordinance which would eliminate second home exemptions in the county solid waste assessment as' well as allow them to increase the assessment in the future. Currently the assessment is set at $125, with a $36 discount for second homes. The subject of the assessments was raised during budget hearings in July when commissioners agreed to remove second home exemptions to help alleviate a deficit in the MSTU fund. It was estimated that some $120,000 could be saved by removing the exemptions, which must be paid out of the MSTU fund. In a related move, the commission also raised the assessment from $113 to $125 a year. A week later, however, commissioners were told that they. could not remove the exemptions because it was included in the ordinance, which could not be changed without a public hearing. The ordinance also caps the assessment at $125. As it was too late to hold a public hearing before the deadline to complete the budget, commissioners were forced to find alternative avenues to balance the MSTU fund. They did agreed to pursue thl matter in the future. At last Monday's commission meeting, County Environmental Services Director John Singer presented the commission with a drafted ordinance repealing the second home exemptions as well as raising the assessment cap to an unspecified amount.

Land of the free, home of the brave By MARK VIOLA Staff writer If there was one message that rang out loud and clear around Taylor County during Veterans Day observances last Friday, it was simply, "thank you." A series of events was held Friday to honor the men and -women who have served ,in the military: and those who are currently serving, some of whom are even now in harm's way in Iraq and Afghanistan. The day began with veterans and - students gathering side-by-side in the Taylor County High School gym at 11 a.m. for the annual JROTC Veterans Day ceremony.

David Ammons opened the event by naming just a few of the many veterans in Taylor County. The greatest gift a veteran can receive, he said, is a simple "thank you." Veterans saluted and students placed their hands over their hearts while the "Pride of Taylor" band played the national anthem and the SAmerican flag. was raised. Then, after the final note from the band l:aded away,, a lone bugle played "Taps" as the flag was lowered to half-staff' to pay: tribute to those, who paid the ultimate price for their country. The. band then played a medley of military themes. As each theme was presented, the veterans from that branch of the military stood to a loud round of cheers and applause. Then it was the Taylor County Middle School band's turn as they performed "Danny Boy." The guest speaker was Mjr. Robert Kevin West, who will take over the JROTCprogram at TCHS after Ammons retires next month. SWest as part of his service, went Sto Southeast Asia around 2000 to -" locate prisoners of war and those still missing in action. SHe related a story he heard about an African American man named Eugene Ashley Jr., who was posthumously .awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for heroics during the Vietnam War. Ashley led a'small force to rescue entrapped U.S. special, forces advisors at Camp Lang Vei. He led five assaults against the North Vietnamese forces as well as arranging for air strikes which forced the enemy from the area, allowing the trapped men to escape. On each assault Ashley. suffered wounds which finally cost him his life. On his mission, West was able to locate the remains of several men who had been killed during this particular battle, allowing them to be returned to the U.S. facing his God. "Step forward now, you soldier, you've borne your burdens well. Walk peacefully on heaven's while Burns Funeral Home prepared the food. Employees from the sponsoring companies served. County officials thanked Nearly 300 veterans and family members attended a special luncheon in their honor Friday afternoon at Forest Capital Hall. ' When' his- emarks-turned to the current situations in Iraq and Afghanistan, he spoke forcibly about the perception of the military and the war by some politicians and the national media. Quoting Thomas Paine, he said, "These are times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from. the service of their country; but he that stands now, deserves the love. and thanks of man and woman." Of the terrorists, he simply said, "They know only death, whether it be theirs or ours; Let it be theirs." JROTC member .Stephanie Punda followed by reading a poem, author unknown, entitled "The Final Inspection," about a soldier streets, you've .done your time in hell," the poem concludes. After the event, veterans regrouped on the front steps of the county courthouse, where a second ceremony was held. The American flag was lowered to half-staff with "Taps" again playing in the background, before it was quickly raised back. A wreath was then placed next to the eternal flame monument by two members of the JROTC. Some 300 veterans and family members then converged at Forest Capital Hall for a special luncheon in their honor. The event was sponsored by Martin ;Electronics Inc., Timberland Ford, Smurfit Stone and the United Steel Workers, The semi above was attempting to pass another semi on Highway 98 Thursday afternoon when. the second semi failed to yield and turned left into its path, according to a report from the Highway Patrol. The semi was struck on the right front after which it left the highway on the south shoulder striking the perimeter fence of Aluminum Marine. No injuries were reported; all parties were wearing their seatbelts. As Ammons said in his remarks Friday, Veterans Day is truly the veterans' day. It's also a day for everyone else to say "thank you." 'Jaws of Life' deployed at crash scene CRITICAL Continued from page 1 tree on the front of the vehicle.

PARK MAINTENANCE Continued from page 1 "I hate to see the park brought up in a bad light. I don't want it to be a political football," Feagle said. "That was not my intention--I'm talking about numbers," Ketring said. "On the front-end we had x- amount of dollars and we are working to complete the park as it was designed to' be.. Right now we're not sure if we can even get all the lights in...we're really pinching pennies," Feagle said. Contacted this week, Interim City Manager Barney Johnson said the city was in the process of getting together information related to projected water, electric and gas costs for 'the park. By way of comparison; he noted that the gas utility cost for the eternal flame" at the courthouse is $400 per month. While the monthly maintenance costs for veterans park could be up to $1,000 per month, the real numbers will not be determined until the park is up and running, Finance Director Penny Staffney said. "It is very, very difficult to come up with a cost on this. All we can do is guess and right now it's not too much of an educated guess," she said. "My concern and the council's concern is that we have been looking at giving away ballfields and parks because we can't (afford) to maintain them, so how are we doing to maintain a park with all this finesse involved?" Staffney noted. Maintenance expenses for the park would fall under the city's recreation department budget. Earlier this year,* the council looked at closing three local parks in order to trim maintenance costs. In the past two ,years, the city opened two new parks, Heritage Park on Julia Street and the Dreamland ,City Kiddie Park on Saxton Street. As of last week, $109,000'had d been expended on the park. "And there is a large number of . money that has been obligated to be spent (such at for monuments, . memorials, etc.)," Johnson said. - However, the city was unable to . give a clear answer as to how ,~.- _- ' much remained to be spent on the park. f ai l The Veterans Memorial Park '' " project first evolved in December - 2002; in February 2004, it "'" 'N"' received a major boost with twin Downtown damage $200,000 donations from both the The front window of Joyce's Main Street Cafe was broken after a vehicle apparently left the road striking a bench and city and county. trashcan before hitting the building Friday. The bench, trashcan and window have all been replaced. County debate continues Residential pick-up feasible? GARBAGE FEES Continued from page 1 This does not affect exemptions for indigent relief. Singer recommended that the commission set the cap at $260, which he said in a memorandum to the commission, "would allow the board to further consider mandatory residential pick-up for possible implementation in 2007.' "At first, I was .going to propose a number in the $150 to $160 range, in order that we , Possibly raise the assessment to this level in a year or two to accurately reflect the true cost of providing solid waste collection for our residents," Singer continued. "However, after thinking about this and discussing it with (County Tax Collector) Jack Tedder, I believe we might want to 'set the bar' a lot higher. Remember that the new assessment must be in place the year before the tax notices come out. "With this in mind, we need to consider the idea proposed by some of the commissioners to go to mandatory residential collection in another year or two. If this is to .occur, we need to have a rate in place that will cbver the cost of Going to the cook-out? Please call 584-5366 'The Perry-Taylor County at noon.

Therefore, we need to'a limit of at least $260 in place to make residential pick-up feasible. This does not eliminate the potential budget shortfall of $750,000 the first year, but it's' an important initial step," the memo concludes. The comments about mandatory residential pick-up sparked a lengthy discussion among commissioners, who expressed differing opinions on the service itself as well as how the money could be collected. Commissioners did, agree to keep the $260 in the proposed ordinance, saying that it could be changed during the public hearing. "The amount only allows for future increases, so you don't have to amend the resolution each time," Singer said. Commissioner Clay Bethea made a motion to advertise the ordinance and set a public hearing; Commissioner Jack Brown seconded. The measure passed 3-2 with Commissioners Pat Patterson and Daryll Gunter voting against.

The Class 2A playoff game was a match-ip of two of the state's Premier quarterbacks in Taylor County's Genario McNealy and Pensacola's Eugene Smith. The talented duo did not disappoint, as McNealy completed 15 of 35 passes for 225 yards. and one : touchdown, despite being under Tremendous pressure all night. : Smith won the battle and the Swar, 'however, completing 17 of. S31 passes for 230 yards and one touchdown, but had only one * interception (compared to two by McNealy) and out-rushed McNealy 98 yards to 14. However, it was penalties--one in particular--that *denied the SBulldogs a rematch with Class 2A #1 ranked Madison County in this SFriday night's second round of the playoffs. The Bulldogs were hit With 17 penalties for 125 yards, Including 12 for 90 yards in the First 'half alone, to allow, the Crusaders to grab a 24-10 halftime lead. Big tackles for losses by Billy Joe Wigglesworth, Cole Revels,. Kendall Thompson and Sean Padgett forced the Crusaders to punt on their first possession, but the Bulldogs went three-and-out as the offensive line failed to pick up Pensacola blitzes. Padgett managed to catdh a nice eight-yard pass out of the. backfield, but on 4th and 2 from their own 32 a bad punt snap sailed 6ver punter John Crowley's head and into the endzone, where the senior managed to scoop it up on the run and boot a 50-yard kick that netted just 17 yards, giving Pensacola the field position it needed. to score its first .touchdown. Starting from midfield, Pensacola grabbed a 7-0 lead on a 48-yard TD pass from Smith to Robert Whibbs with 6:56- remaining in the first quarter. The most costly Bulldog penalty came early in'the game, as Taylor's leading scorer Tony Powell fielded the kickoff at his own three-yard line and busted through a seam up the middle to weave his way 97 yards for a rL1E. n!

However, a penalty flag was thrown behind the play after Powell scored, as a Bulldog player allegedly threw an illegal block at the Crusaders' 28-yard line, and the return was called back to the Crusaders' 43-yard line after the. 15-yard penalty was marched off. The Bulldogs not only failed to score, but fumbled on'the next two plays, losing the second fumble at the Pensacola 48-yard line, allowing the Crusaders to kick a 22-yard field goal and complete a 10-point swing that ultimately decided the outcome of the game. The 17 penalties and five, fumbles (one lost) were just a part. of the Bulldogs' woes, as on the Bulldogs' next possession, Taylor drove all the way down to the Crusaders' five-yard'.line, only to have another bad snap sail over McNealy's head for a fumble that he recovered fora 19-yard loss,, forcing the Bulldogsto settle for a 45-yard field goal by Crowley to trail 10-3. The drive was keyed by big passes to Sneed (20 yards.). Ingram (28 yards) and Ellis. (11 yards) before abholding penalty and delay of game penalty combined with the bad snap pushed the Bulldogs back 34 yards. Pensacola's second touchdown was aided by the Bulldogs kicking the ball out of bounds on the kickoff to give the Crusaders the ball at their own 40 and an. offsides penalty that helped keep the drive ali\e Despite nice pass deflections by Wigglesworth and Padgett ard a touchdown-saving tackle by Ingram; Pensacola scored on a three-yard run to take a 17-3 lead with 10:39 to play in the second quarter.

Jennifer Hunter, Jenna Helm, Beth Johnson, Natalie Clark, Jenni Cantrell, Jessica Stanton, Courtney Valentine and Toni Craighead. Both quarterbacks put on clinics in the first half, as McNealy completed 10 of 17 passes for 149 yards with one touchdown and one interception, while Smith completed 11 of 19 passes for 194 yards with one TD and one interception. However, Pensacola rushed for 55 yards in the first half to amass 249, yards of offense in the first two quarters, compared to Taylor's 138. The Bulldog defense turned in .the performance of the season in the second half, shutting out the Crusaders and shutting down the Pensacola running game, while holding Smith 'and company to just 87 yards and no points. However, the Bulldog offense could not capitalize, as McNealy was under constant pressure and had to scramble for his life, while runningbacks Bryckoski Jackson and Sean Padgett found little running room. Taylor opened the second half mixing nice tuns by Jackson (four yards) and Padgett (two for eight yards) with passes to Sneed (21 yards) and Ingram (10 and 13 yards) before McNealy was sacked for a 10-yard loss and had a deep pass to Powell knocked away at the five-yard line. Pensacola started from their own 10 after Crowley's 33-yard punt. ,and could not move the ball, punting to Greg Sneed, who returned the punt 46 yards.down to the Pensacola eight-yard line.

Taylor was anxious to get the season off to a good start, but it was not to be. Maclay won 1-0, scoring latein the game off a free kick just outside the 18. "It was a tough loss to start the season," said Coach Kerry Puhl. "I felt like we were the better .team,.' but with some key personnel, sick and absent we just couldn't get the looks at the goal we normally do. We played some young players tonight against a solid and well coached team. They'll only get better with the experience they gained'against *Maclay," On Thursday Nov. 10, the Lady Dogs played at district foe Madison. Taylor won 7-0 against an: improving Lady Cowgirl team being coached -by former Taylor County soccer player Rachel Poppell Leading the scoring for the Bulldogs was sophomore forward .Katie Cooper, with- three goals on the night.

Jenni Cantrell, who is playing outside midi this year, scored a goal from the comer. Rounding out the assist was sophomore Jenna Helm and freshman Cindy Wilson, each with one assist. Elizabeth-Cooper got her first shutout in goal of the season with three saves on the night. "The girls played a fundamentally sound game, they 'played their passes, created, opportunity's, and. kept the pressure on the Lady Cowgirls," said Puhl. "I was very pleased with the effort. We played a lot of players and they were able to step. in and get the job done. We have talent but we're young and; inexperienced right now. If we work hard.and continue to develop, this teani has a bright future.". Next week, the Lady Bulldogs travel to Godby before th6y get to come home and play they're first home.game against Rickards on Nov. 21. "That game against Rickards is going to be a good test for us," said assistant coach Doug. Cantrell. "Rickards is a very good team this year, with a Idt of talent. They're 4-0 right now. We beat'them.last year at their place, so I think they're looking to return the favor. They have a lot of speed, but so do we. It's going to be a great game." for the ball.

Even after retirement she continued to volunteer at the nursing home. She truly loved those she referred to as her "little old people" and ensured that the training given to nursing assistants under her supervision taught them dignity and respect that the elderly deserved. She was a loving and compassionate person even when she was ill and comforted other patients when she herself was hospitalized. She enjoyed traveling with her church on mission work to Honduras and several areas of the U.S. as well as vacationing with her husband, Wilbur, to watch the leaves turn color in the mountains and to play on the beach with children and grandchildren. She loved music, sang in the choir, and was an active participant in all activities of their church for many years. She taught Sunday School and was the summer youth camp nurse for several years.

BULLDOGS Continued from page 6 endzone on the run during a 4th and 6 play from the Crusaders' 16- yard line. Taylor County's final drive started on their own 20 after two big tackles by Adam Cook led Pensacola to miss a 47-yard field goal, but McNealy ended the night scrambling away from Pensacola blitzers and throwing incompletions before being sacked on the final four plays. The Bulldogs finished the game with 24 carries for 39 yards (1.6 yards per carry), led by Jackson's nine carries for 17 yards and McNealy's 11 carries for 14 yards.

Smith accounted for all of Pensacola's second half offense, as the rest of the team lost yardage in the second half and committed five second half fumbles, losing two. SMcNealy had to rely on his. quick feet-and nifty escape moved the entire game, as he was forced to throw on the run while rolling out or scrambling away from defenders all night.

Mark and Sonja Sedberry Phone call about bill really a scam? Dear Editor:. I'm writing to make your readers. aware of the current credit card scam in'our area: This morning, I received a telephone call from a company, purportedly in North Carolina. informing me that the local telephone company had contracted with them to collect my past due bill. Knowing this .could not be correct, I told the caller I'd have to contact the phone.company as my- first impulse was that the phone company had made a mistake. A call to them could shed no light on the matter. Then it hit me; this was a scam. So I called'back to the 800 number they'd left and asked for more details. I was given a figure that. I owed and when I asked where I should send payment, I was told that I could take care of it by phone, via my credit card, and avoid collection costs. This service was offered "as a courtesy." Because of articles I'd read in newspapers over the years, I recognized this tactic as a scam and have reported the matter to the Sheriffs Office. Alice Farrell Letters to the Editor 'Founders established republic, not democracy' Midweek Muddle Dear Editor: I must thank those who are demanding "their right to vote" on the decision to locate a power plan ,. here. Their 'demands have caused me to recall Ms.' Socinski's' teachings in my high school , freshman civics class and do a little research to refresh my memory. My conclusions: no one has been denied "their right t vo te." At the close of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787, Benjamini Franklin walked, outside and seated himself on a public bench. ,A woman approached him .and inquired, "Well, Dr. Franklin, what have you done for us?" Franklin .quickly responded, "My dear lady, we have 'given you a republic--if you can keep it" Folks today. ,sem ,o con e he difference betmeen- a,-- democracy and a republic. Our founders had an opportunity .to establish a democracy and they chose not to. In. fact, they made it clear that.we were not, and were never to become a democracy. A pure democracy operates by direct majority otie of the people. When an issue is'to be decided, the entire population votes on it and the majority wins and rules. (So Much for the rights of minorities). A republic differs in that the general population elects representatives N ho then pass laws. to govern. A democracy is the rule by majority emotions. A republic is rule by law. S Tallahassee Democrat writee~ Gerald Enslev put it very well in a recent column titled "Coal Plant Not an Issue We Should Decide": "I don't know how I'll vote on the .proposed coal plant. But I am: convinced of two things. "One is that it's a no-win situation. And two, we shouldn't be- voting on it.. . "The coal plant issue should have been decided by the Tallahassee City Commission-- -; Please see page 3 'Healthcare costs far exceed energy savings' ,Dear Editor: . There is a definite link between pollution from coal plants and serious health problems ,including cancer, .asthma and other lung diseases. Facts aside, it appears that cheaper fuel costs are more -important. In my experience. healthcare costs including insurance, missed school and work days, doctor and hospital care and .personal misery far exceed all the energy cost, savings that might result from the use of coal. ; Taylor'.

Otly iin America can we elect officials to make decisions and then demand a referendum because we don't like the decisions they made. Remember how our government is supposed to work. you elect someone that you think is a good person for the job. If you don't like the job performance of that person then you elect someone else next time or even run for office yourself. From the number of self-proclaimed experts dn every topic that comes before our elected officials '%e should hae quite an election next time. I dof't' know what is the right way to go. Do we need a power plant? I don't know but I do know life is better with electricity. I just would like :to ,see this community stand behind our elected officials and support the community.

In Math-A-Thon Class raises $300 In September. sixth grade students at Taylor County Middle School participated in a "Math -A -Thon" fund-raiser to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Funds raised for the inter- nationally recognized hospital will help St. Jude in its ongoing fight against childhood catastrophic diseases. "Our. goal in doing this fund- raiser was to help the children of the world who are stricken with 'diseases like cancer, AIDS and sickle ,cell anemia." said Kiki Puhl, sixth grade math teacher.

On the day of Perry's historic milestone--the 50th anniversary parade--I watched as float after float, bands and clowns paraded down the street and enjoyed every minute of it. It was a wonderful parade until the county commissioners' float came by. Empty seats on a huge flatbed being drawn by a gas (maybe diesel) guzzling Iractor. Why? I think those-empty seats said volumes of the attitudes of our elected officials. If you were on the grandstand \watching the parade, the least you could have done was pull the float. Instead of being comfy. vwh, were you not pan of the festivities') It was a wonderful parade. despite this fact, and the Florida Festival Committee is to be commended for a wonderful job for the entire week.

B-5 The Taco Times November 16, 2005 Letters to the Editor 'No such thing as cheap, clean coal' Dear Editor, The opinion of Perry Bissell published in the Oct. 26 issue of the Taco Times demonstrates the coal industry's intentional misleading of the citizens of Taylor County. He attacks Jeff Barrie's film "Kilowatt Ours" as biased and one- sided, yet fails to mention that the film includes interviews with industry representatives. He does not mention the bulk of Barrie's film, which offers practical ways to reduce energy consumption, and thereby save money, while maintaining a modern standard of living. Bissell completely ignores the detrimental health consequences imposed by the coal industry upon all Americans, from extraction to burning and disposal. .,Most disturbing, though, is Bissell's blatant * mischaracterization of mountaintop removal mining. While this method does account for only five percent of U.S. production, the devastation grows daily. Here in West Virginia, well over 600 square miles of productive hardwood forests and Their true value have been lost forever. Bissell's very impressive catalog of beneficial post-mining condition and uses simply do not exist. None of the land is restored to its original condition. Instead, it is thinly covered with sandy topsoil substitute" and planted with inon-native grass and a few 'spindl. pines. Streams and \,alleys are filled with unstable, Seroding rubble. During and.after the mining process, the clear-cut, blasted and scraped land sheds rain 'rather than absorbing it. contributing to deadly floods that :.have made West Virginia a leading Recipient of FENIA aid--your tax dollars. Less than five percent of this land has had any development, and that usually nothing contributing Sto economic growth. From 15 to 25 percent of the Coal River Valley, for instance, has already been rendered barren. That number will grow to 75 percent if Bissell and the coal industry have their way. Bissell would have your readers believe that only a "distraught local man who has been feuding with a coal company apparently because his family cemetery is located near the mine site" has a problem with mountaintop removal. Bissell's slick use of loaded language is designed to dehumanize Appalachian residents as ignorant, violent hillbillies, a scheme the coal industry has employed for a century. I know the. distraught local man. His family cemetery and land, in his family for two hundred years, are now surrounded by mountaintop removal. Where he once looked hundreds of feet up to see a mountain, he now looks hundreds of feet down to see a plain. With several daily blasts going off around him, with his dogs killed and his cabin burned by thugs, he has good reason to be distraught. His is only one of many stories of abuse. In a state where coal barons detonate three million pounds of explosives daily in the mountaintop removal process, all of us who care are distraught. The intelligent reader will examine motives before reaching a conclusion in this issue. Will you believe Jeff Barrie, who has made a film showing a few of the hazards of coal and practical ways to preserve the environment our children and grandchildren must live in? Will you believe the local people who are fighting for their lives, families, and communities, with nothing to gain? Or will you believe Perry Bissell, whose industry makes billions at the expense of your children's health? Say "no" to new coal plants and their known hazards. Say "yes" to renewable energy sources like wind and solar. Coal is only low- cost to its producers: the citizens pay the price, from mining to burning. There is no such thing as clean coal or cheap coal. Vernon Haltom Naoma, West Virginia 'Gentlemen hunters' needed Dear Editor: Well fellow hunters, archery season and muzzleloader season have come and gone. I can see that some of us had some success, judging from the deer and hog carcasses that are showing up on our roadsides. Now folks, there's a right way and a wrong way to dispose of the carcass of your game.animal once you've taken the meat you want off it. The right way.is to bury it or get it back into the woods Where you found it. Nature will take care of it from there. The wrong way is to throw it on the side of a public road where every one has to look at it, not to mention the scavengers it attracts and causes a traffic hazard. Also, what's up with riddling road signs with bullets? There's no honor or challenge involved in shooting road signs. Not only does it cost taxpayers' money, but consider what's behind that sign. Case in point, the stop sign where the Golf Course Road intersects with Puckett Road. There's a church directly behind that sign! Have some respect! As you may know, there are rich and powerful groups actively trying every day to completely eliminate all hunting and our slovenly ways are just what they need to get support. There are three types of people, those of us who love to hunt, those who are strictly against it ,and those who have no opinion. Right now, we hunters have sufficient numbers to defend our Sport, but we're losing ground everyday. If those who are undecided were to go the way of the anti-hunters, we would be way outnumbered. So have a care and clean up our image by acting like gentlemen. Put your carcasses out of sight and stop shooting those road signs. Please! Jerry Snipes Citizen resents chairman's comments Dear Editor: This letter is directed to Mr. Daryll Gunter, chairman of the Taylor County Board of Commissioners. Dear Mr. Gunter: I am high\ offended by your comments that were published in the Taco Times newspaper on Nov, 9, 2005. Is this the kind of ill treatment new residents should expect from the Taylor County Board of Commissioners? SIs this the kind of behavior Taylor County taxpayers should expect from the chairman of fhe board? Is name calling part of the rules you followfThis is behat .ior un-becoming of an elected official! I waited very patiently for over, three hours at the commissioners meeting for the opportunity to address the board regarding my very valid and personal concerns' involving the coal-burning power plant and my property value. I stood before the board as a very concerned mother and tax- paying citizen, not a rule-breaking victim as you clearly stated in the article! And while we are on the subject of rule-breaking, wasn't it you, Mr. Gunter. iwho announced while Mother challenges bus safety practices Dear Editor: S I am writing,, this, letter in regards to the letter that was sent ,home to all parents of children attending school in Perry. The letter stated if you as a parent need Sto make changes in. where your child goes in the afternoon that. you need to make the change by 1:15 because if done later than that Time, the school could not guaranteet.hat your child would be put on the right bus or sent to the Right place. This letter was sent out from , -the school board because in less than one week Perry Primary and Head Start sent three: of my children on three different occasions-to the wrong place. My son was sent home for over an hour before we found him. He is five years old, has asthma and ADD. Right now, he has to take extra medication because of having to sit out in the heat that day because Perry Primary was careless when it ucame- to them putting my child on the right bus. I spoke with the principal of Perry Primary, who did nothing about this, so then I went to the superintendent's office and he did nothing as well. The next mess up was only three days later when again Perry Primary should have sent my daughter to Everetts Trailer'Park, they sent her to Athena where she would have been with no adults, but thank God her bus driver cared enough to keep --,'" herT .'. .- - Then two days later Head Start sent my three-year-old home to where no one was. The bus driver. gave my daughter to a family friend, but no one from the school system called to tell me anything; the friend had to call. What is wrong with our school system? Each time I was .told, "We are extremely busy at that time of day; it was just an honest mistake." One school, maybe. One child, maybe, but not two% schools and three children. Not just a couple of months ago the school board fired the two best. bus drivers and aide for Taylor County for an honest mistake, so why hasn't anyone been fired over or even disciplined for endangering the- safety of three of my children? if the school board can't do every .employee the same, than they need to rehire the bus driver and aides that they fired, because if you can overlook one so-called mistake from the school, than why can't you over look a bus driver and aides' mistake? Parents, be very careful with your children so what happened to me won't happen to you. Don't trust that the school system really puts safety first. Before I finish, I want to thank Clyde Cruce for helping me in this situation, maybe he needs to run for school superintendent, *because he shows he getting things done. You have my vote. Sincerely, Rachel Whiddon I was addressing the board: "Your three minutes are about up"? Excuse me, Mr. Gunter, but I do believe that the rules state that a citizen who is placed on the agenda for that particular meeting has no time limit. Who was not following the rules that night? I was glad the others were aware of the rules and corrected you which allowed me to continue.- I am not at all satisfied with any,, of the answers I received from this board. My valid concerns.were dismissed by you and your fellow ' commissioners as being insignificant and non-factual. The highly detrimental health effects of this coal burning power plant are well documented and Disabled veteran remind have been presented to you, which . all of you have chosen to -completely ignore. Th'e Taylor County Commissioners have completely and utterly sold out the people of Taylor County for the sole, self- serving purpose of their own greed! If this were not true, you would give us back our God-given right as a citizen of the United States the right to vote on this! What are you all afraid of? I'll answer that for you, a vote will put an end to all this madness! Just as it did for the bombing range madness! We demand a vote...now! A'proud resident of the Nature Coast, Janet Monroe Freedom is not free Dear Editor: Freedom is not free! Ask any combat veteran. The newspaper and TV news people would have you believe that you have freedom because of them. Of course, if you think about it, you will realize .that they have nothing to do with it. Since our great nation was born, men and women have gone to war to protect the dreams of our- founding fathers. What brilliant men they were! We are the only nation with such outstanding privileges guaranteed in writing and protected by our dedicated military. Other nations have similar documents but they pale in comparison to our constitutation. You will hear protesters say how bad we are that we should lay down and let people of different lifestyles and beliefs walk over us in our own country. They will say that we should have multiple languages and that if we do not believe in their religion we should be killed. Freedom is not free! I devoted my life to making freedom available to all, and would do it again, but it is time for all good men and women to stand up and be heard. In the United States of America, .we have one native language, English, and our constitution is based on the Christian religion. We need to enforce these. We need to tell all nationalities that they-are welcome, but English is- the language of the land and there are no ifs, ands or buts about it! There has never been a nation 0f multiple languages to survive for very long. Multiple languages are the building blocks of failure for a nation. Go back in history and check out Rome, Russia and the Mongols. I am a 100% combat disabled veteran, and I know the price of freedom. Freedom is not free! Sam H. Duckworth, Msgt U.S.A.F. Ret. Beware of 'estimate' Dear Editor: We have two hurricane seasons. Weather patterns typically flow west to east, and hurricanes typically flow east to west. Therefore, my questions to any engineer would be: How much wind-powered electricity could have been generated by Hurricane Wilma? How many households serviced? How much of Hurricane Wilma's wind-powered electricity could have been stored and used until the next hurricane or hurricane season? How many houses could be serviced by.the stored wind-powered electricity? If no answer can be ascertained, let's put it another way--how much electricity can a hurricane producing 125 mph winds generate? The city reports (natural) gas is going up. Well, for the unsuspecting they have already reaped a windfall of funds. In June when an elderly lady complained about the city charging her for gas unused, I examined my bill for my gas pilot light, which I left on because it is a pain to re-light. I was surprised to find they charged $55.82 for 30 therms. I immediately turned the pilot light off. I was then charged $10.16 for six therms, the next month $3.92 for two therms and $5.05 for two therms the month after that. I don't remember how niany months my pilot light was on before I turned it off. But if*we examine our city bill, we discover a small word at the bottom, "estimate." Surprise! Pat Cook --BRAND NEW-.

I have never seen such a mess in all my life. Grown men acting like little kids. Teenagers trying to act like grown men. It is just unusual. Flag football is a mess. I thought it was supposed to be for the kids. They can't play and have any fun, because the coaches want so .badly to win they take the fun out: of it. And the guys calling the game, I guess to get a game called right you have to be kin to one of the:_referees or know someone really well. I guess you have to be really good buddies with Mr. Rec Director too so you can have the team you want and to get your roaster in time for your team to get together and practice before your first game. My husband coached this time and:was done really, really wrong. It is such a shame that grown men want the #1 spot more than their players do. Our guys just wanted to play ball, but the way things have been run they can't even get a good call made on their behalf. I:.know one thing, my son will iot play any other city rec. games agiin: Or at least not until some changes have been made, and they -gef someone in there that is not worried about making himself look good, but worried about the Wife thanks organizers of vets tribute Dear Editor: I- am writing this letter to the Taylor County Commissioners, -Martin Electronics Inc., 1-Tmberland Ford, Smurfit Stone and the United Steel Workers who sponsored the Veterans Day luncheon honoring our past and present servicemen. -"The slideshow with the sampling of hometown heroes was very well done and the entire program and luncheon were excellent.

U-a Betty Culbreath, wife of Eric Culbreath,' ----- 'U.S. Navy, World War II kids and all the games that recreation offers. I'm most certain that I'm .not the only parent that feels this way either. This year flag football has been a really big joke! Thanks, Joey Buchanan 'Come to West Virginia!' MOUNTAINEER Continued from page 3 cannot heal." If they had known about mountaintop removal in 1909 they surely would have never have put those words on that headstone, because surely not even the good Lord can fix the land now that the.coal company has come in and destroyed it. The earth has a way of healing itself after a natural disaster. Mountaintop removal is a man-made disaster. You speak of only 5% of the coal produced in the US as coming from mountaintop removal. You should come and see the 10 counties in southern W.Va. that have been affected by this: Come see how massive our share of that 5% is. Don't just sit in warm Florida and make statements about something you have not seen. Be a true professional as you speak, -and come and see the other side of the issue. Call me if you would like me to show you around at 304.542.1134 or 304.522.0246. Larry Gibson Does 'big money' blind eyes to pollution issues? Dear Editor: Bellingham, Washington is voting on whether fluoride should be in their water. Counties surrounding Taylor County are voting to participate in the coal plant..Everybody is voting except citizens of Taylor County. What is more preposterous is the fact that we receive electricity from Tri-County Electric and Progress Energy, who are not building a coal plant in a remote area that the potential bombing range was going to blow up--it's stuck next to Buckeye. Less than 5 miles from downtown. That's an absurd location. Yet, they will be able to add coal, pollution to the Buckeye pollution in the Fenholloway. It appears that the coal plant is like the "Emperor's New Clothes." * The county commissioners are wearing the emperor's new clothes. As the emperor was fooled into seeing his non-existent clothes, the county commissioners are seeing new imaginary jobs and imaginary economic gain without benefit of the energy from the coal plant. While others are laughing that the coal plant is not stuck in their bedroom, we have the dictators. declaring the citizens of Taylor County don't count. Big money blinds the eyes to issues of pollution and landscape re-design. We also see this'in the new design for Dekle Beach. The devil must be paid if a land owner affected by the Storm of the Century wanted to redesign water ways and disrupt the natural streams and canal of the beach areas. But, big money makes some people turn a blind eye. Pat Cook S E-MAIL US!
