Vandal(s) broke into Martin
Marietta rock mine compound last
week, causing more than $40,000
in damages that forced the plant to
temporarily shut down for two
days.
The company is now offering a
$5,000 reward for information
leading to the arrest and conviction
of those involved.
According to a report filed by
Taylor County Sheriffs Office
Dep. Rusty Davis, a call came in
Nov. 21, when workers in the scale

weighed) reported, at
approximately 4:35 a.m., that a

shut down

A group of Taylor County
residents and several others have
filed a petition for an
administrative hearing with the
state and Buckeye stating the mill
should be required to either
comply with environmental laws
or "shut down their operation."
The Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP)
issued its proposed permit Nov. 2
that would allow Buckeye to
construct a 15-mile pipeline to
remove the mill's effluent from the
upper river and discharge it near
-the Gulf The petitioners filed their
legal papers Nov, 22.
The petitioners include long-
time activist Joy Towles Ezell and
her husband Ted, former county
commission candidate George
Stamos and his wife Judy, new
homeowners Jim and Carole Taitt,
Fenholloway River landowner Lee
Shiver and. Clean Water Network
representative Linda Young.
A DEP spokesperson said the
department will review the
document to determine whether an
administrative hearing should be
held.
Buckeye spokesman Dan
Simmons said the company is
moving ahead with plant
improvements, and San Pedro Bay
wetland enhancements while
waiting on the permit.
"The company remains
committed to restoring the river
and improving the Gulf. The

Reagan Fox III Inc. driver Bill Howell, 33, was trapped inside his overturned semi-truck for nearly 30 minutes
before extraction by Taylor County Fire-Rescue workers Tuesday. The one-vehicle crash happened around 11:30 a.m.,
just below the Fenholloway River bridge on Highway 27. According to officials on the scene, Howell apparently veered
off the roadway in order.to avoid hitting a second truck, which was slowing in his path. Florida Highway Patrol Trooper
Gus Smyrnios is in charge of the investigation. Also responding to the scene were units from .Doctors' Memorial Hospital
.Emergency Management Service (EMS) and the Taylor County Sheriff's Office.



Educators Hall of Fame



117 years of service honored


Approximately 40 family
members and well-wishers
gathered Tuesday at the Taylor
County School Board room to
watch as the 2005 Educators Hall
of Fame inductees received a
plaque and formal recognition for
their contributions to education.
"These three ladies represent a
combined 117 years of service in
the education field, with 108 of
them being served in Taylor
County," said Superintendent of
Schools Oscar Howard Jr.
"There are several generations of


students and adults who owe a
huge amount of gratitude to them.
"First of all, we have Arbutus
'Boo' Blankenship, who served for
40 years in the Taylor County
School District, in positions
varying from social studies teacher
to interim high school principal.
"Anyone who had Mrs.
Blankenship in school in any
position, including myself,
respected her. Parents especially
respected her, because they knew
that she not only watched their
children, she watched out for them,


A reception for the 2005 Taylor County Educators Hall of Fame inductees was held Monday
afternoon, where they received formal recognition and a plaque for their combined 117 years
of service to the Taylor School District. Shown, from left, are: Mary Parker, Juanita Scott and
Arbutus "Boo" Blankenship with Superintendent of Schools Oscar Howard Jr.


too."
With tears in her eyes,
Blankenship told those in
attendance that she would cherish
the recognition, "for all the days I
have left on this earth."
Next, Juanita Scott, who served
in the Taylor District for 33 years,
teaching students from
kindergarten through lower
elementary grades was recognized.
"Mrs. Scott has had an impact on
countless children of our county.
There have been several
generations who have impacted
through her teaching.
"Mrs. Scott has seen her students
grow up to become leaders and
much of their success can be traced
back to the strong education they


received during their early years,"
Howard said.
Scott accepted her award with
grace, saying that she also," would
cherish the recognition. I'm going
to take this plaque home and put it
with the many others that I have
received."
Mary Parker, the non-
instructional inductee, was
recognized for her "35 years of
service in the transportation
department."
"Mrs. Parker has always been a
lady who could be depended on 24
hours, day or night, to immediately
respond to emergencies within or
outside the district," said Howard.

A-2 The Taco Times November 30, 2005


Merry Christmas to all...
A, classic holiday scene, courtesy of Charles Dickens' "A
Christmas Carol," can be found in the window of Sisters'
Mercantile. Holiday cheer abounds downtown, with twinkling
white lights and merry wishes all around the square.

Thunderstorms rock,

county with over 1
After several weeks with little or no rain, Ta'lor County saw more than
an inch of rain in less than 24 hours, much of it from a thunderstorm
which rocked the county during the early morning hours Tuesday.
According to numbers from the Division of Forestry, the Perry Forestry
Station on Plantation Road saw 1 05 inches of rain during the 24-hour
period ending 8 a.m. Tuesday This was almost half the total for the rest
of the month of November.
The recording station in Foley saw 1.25 inches during the same 24-
hour period. That station has seen 2.97 inches in the month of November.

diesel fuel and 800 gallons of
gasoline had been discharged onto
the ground from above ground
storage tanks.
The State Environmental
Protection Agency was notified
and soon arrived on the scene for
an inspection.
West said Tuesday that nothing
had been stolen from
the plant during the break-in, but
that a considerable loss to the
company had been incurred during
the two-day shutdown.
"The whole thing has been an
unfortunate incident," West said.
"We are, however, open and
running and it's business as
usual," he added.
TCSQ is asking for ,anyone
with information on the break-in
to call 584-4225 or 584-2429.
"We're running down several
leads," said Davis, "but we can
really use help from the
community. If you know anything
about the burglary, please call."

Continued from page 1 :
"It has never failed, that
whatever was asked of her,'if it
involved children, she was there.
She has safely taken the children
of this county to school and
delivered them safely home,
tirelessly and anyone who has ever
met her, will tell you, that Mrs..
Parker has never met a stranger."
Parker, also thanked Howard and
those in attendance for their
support and the recognition. "This
is something that I will never
forget," she said.
The three inductees will soon be
able to see their faces adorning the
north wall of the meeting room,
side-by-side with other "legends"
of the Taylor County School
District, "who have served the
children of the county."

The petitioners disputed
numerous parts of the proposed

"tactics."
"This is simply another thinly
veiled stall tactic designed to allow
Buckeye to continue violating the
Clean Water Act and Florida
pollution laws," the petitioners
stated.

DEP officials have stated that
the permit will provide long-term
environmental improvements in
the Fenholloway River and estuary
by authorizing manufacturing
process changes, modification and
operation of an industrial
wastewater treatment plant and
construction of an effluent
transmission pipeline for discharge
into marine portions of the
Fenholloway.
The permit sets several deadlines
for upgrades within the plant with
the completion of the pipeline set
for 2014 (nine years).
DEP officials estimated the cost
of the various improvements at
$85 million with some $47
million allocated for the pipeline
construction.
The multi-year project will
improve the quality of Buckeye's


industrial discharge, eliminate
direct discharge into the freshwater
portion of the Fenholloway and
allow the river to meet its
designated uses as a Class III,
fishable-swimmable waterbody,
DEP officials said.
DEP has also stated that the
plan safeguards a $225 million
annual regional economic impact
by protecting the jobs of 610
employees in the Taylor County
community and an additional
1,000 workers who rely on the
timber industry in the region.
DEP Water Expert Jerry Brooks
told the Taco Times this
summer that improvements to
reduce the color in Buckeye's
effluent have already allowed
seagrass growth near the mouth of
the river to recover.

The county commission and city council have changed their December

The county commission's next regular meeting has been moved back
one week to Tuesday, Dec. 13, and will be the only regular meeting in
December. The commission will hold a special meeting Thursday, Dec. 1,

discuss equipment purchases' and the hospital's audit. The meeting will be
held at the hospital.
The city council will hold its only December meeting Tuesday, Dec. 6,
at 6:30 p.m.


He also said his agency has been
assured that no further harm will
come to the Gulf waters when the
pipeline is installed.


The action comes after the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) objected to DEP's 1997
permit. Another public hearing

A-6 The Taco Times November 30, 2005

Since general qun season opening


3 hunting accidents reported


The general gun hunting season
started about two weeks ago, and
already investigators from the
Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC)
North Central Region are
investigating three hunting
accidents.
The most recent accidents both
happened Nov. 22, at around the
same.time of day, 4:30 p.m., but
on different coasts -- one in Duval
County, the other in Levy
County. The first accident of the
general gun deer hunting season
was on Nov. 19 in Hamilton
County, All three involved
hunters pursuing deer with dogs.
Luckily for the victims, all of the
accidents were not life-threatening.
In Duval County, two boys,
ages 10 and 14, were hunting with
dogs in the West Fiftone Hunt
Club near Baldwin. The 14-year-
old shot at a deer with his shotgun
and a stray pellet struck the 10-
year-old boy who was standing
along the same road about 100-
150 yards away. The pellet hit the
boy in the upper chest, penetrated
his clothing and broke the skin.
He was life-flighted to Shands
Hospital in Jacksonville, but
luckily his thick clothing
prevented the pellet from
penetrating his chest cavity.
Farther southwest in Levy
County, on the same day, another
hunter using dogs to hunt deer in
the Gulf Hammock Wildlife
Management Area suffered another
pellet injury. The man was
hunting with a group of dog-
hunters from the Gulf Hammock
Hunters Association when one of
the hunters shot at a deer and a
stray pellet struck the victim in
the ankle. The man sought
medical treatment, but his wound
was minor.
Saturday, a hunter was struck by.
buckshot at the Hickory Island
Hunt Club in Hamilton County.
The accident happened around 2
p.m., while about a dozen hunters
were pursuing'a deer using dogs.
The deer ran across a road between
the shooter and another hunter
who was standing by his truck.
The victim and his truck were
both hit by pellets.Both hunters,


were wearing bright orange hats as
required by the club's rules for
safety and high visibility. The
victim was transported by another
hunter to Trinity Hospital in
Jasper and later transported to
Shands Hospital in Gainesville
where he was treated and released.
Both the victim and shooter were


back hunting at the club the next
day.
All three hunting accidents are
under investigation by the FWC.
"This is a good time to remind
hunters of two of the most
important safe hunting rules,"
FWC spokesperson Officer Chris
Jones said. "Those are, number


one, know your target and,
number two, know what's beyond
your target before pulling the
trigger. All three of these accidents
could likely have been avoided if
those involved had followed the
basic rules."
For information on taking an
FWC hunter safety course, visit
MyFWC.com/huntered/.


Red grouper, airboat noise


are top issues at meeting


The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC)
will meet at Key Largo's Sheraton
Beach Resort, Mile Marker 97,
Nov. 30 Dec. 1.
During the first day of the
meeting, Commissioners will
consider final action on the FWC
Division of Law Enforcement's
proposed enforcement procedures
and educational efforts concerning
airboat sound reduction. FWC
staff has gathered input from
airboaters, sound experts and
residents who complain about
sound levels produced by airboat
engines and propellers.
Commissioners also plan to
.review and discuss proposed 2006-
07 regulation changes for wildlife
and freshwater fishing and a draft
procedural rule that would
incorporate the FWC's due process
procedures into a rule, reorganize
current procedural rules and repeal
obsolete rules.
Concerning land acquisitions,
.Commissioners will consider
committing $10 million from the
Florida Forever Trust Fund for
joint acquisition of the Babcock
Ranch and $10 million from the
FWC's Land Acquisition Trust
Fund for potential acquisition of
2,000 acres of the Babcock Ranch
for a gopher tortoise mitigation
park.
On Thursday, Commissioners
will take final action on a
proposed rule to reduce, the
recreational daily bag limit from


two fish to one fish per person for
red grouper harvested and.
possessed in Gulf of Mexico state
waters.
Final action also is on the
agenda for proposed rules to
establish that the method for
determining the total length
measurement for marine fish will
be to measure the straight line
distance from the most forward
point of the head, with the mouth
closed, to the farthest tip of the
tail, with the tail compressed or
squeezed, while the fish is lying
on its side. Proposed rules also
would change the measurement for
gray triggerfish from total length
to fork length.
Other marine fisheries topics
will include review and discussion
of a draft rule to add 14 species of


sharks to the list of protected
species and Dry Tortugas National
Park special regulations.
Commissioners also will receive
updates on an industry-sponsored
proposal'to reduce commercial
fishing effort in the Gulf red
grouper fishery and the future of
saltwater fishing in Florida, and
reports on individual fishing
quotas and various federal marine
fisheries management issues.
The meeting will convene at
8:30 a.m. both days and is open to
the public. Anyone requiring
special accommodations 1to
participate should notify the FWC
at least five days in advance by
calling Cindy Hoffman at (850)
488-6411. Hearing- or speech-
impaired persons can arrange
assistance by calling (850) 488- :

County awaits' DCA response to density wording


What's the difference between
"and" and "or"? Everything,
apparently, when it comes to the
Florida Department of
Community Affairs Evaluation
and Appraisal Report of the


county's comprehensive plan.
The report is issued every seven
years and documents the state
agency's objections with the
county's comprehensive plan..
This year, the major sticking


point was building density in land
designated coastal high hazard
areas.
Enid Ehrbar with the North
Central Florida Regional Planning
Council addressed the commission
earlier this month along with

Community yard sale this Saturday issues with the pln.
The Sons of AMVETS Community Yard Sale will be held Saturday, It is county staffs position that

six-foot table will be provided for each vendor). Additional-spaces may be comprehensive plan states that

12, starting at 6:30 p.m.

Police Department, 584-5121.


building density up to 20 units per
acre.
If the land in question only has
water service or sewer, then the
density is limited to four units per
acre.
DCA, on the other hand,
interprets the wording to read that
such land, even if it does have
both water service and sewer


hookups, is limited to four units
per acre, Ehrbar said.
County staff recommended to
commissioners a compromise
which would allow 12 units per
acre in coastal high hazard with
water service and sewer. Staff saw
this as a decrease over the existing
regulations while DCA sees it as
an increase, said Danny Griner
with the dofiinTy "buidiiT g and
planning department.
That number was reached as it
was the density levels used in a
previous deal with DCA for
Steinhatchee development.
Several commissioners disagreed
with the idea of reducing the
density numbersasiding with staff
that the current limit is 20.
"Everywhere else people can
dredge or build right on the water,
but if we try to do something in
this little bend, we get kicked in
the teeth," said a woman present at
the meeting.

SAt Rotary meeting



SElder care discussed


The guest speaker for the Nov.
8 Rotary meeting was Elder Law
Attorney Lauchlin Waldoch.
Waldoch, who practices in
Tallahassee, said she specializes in
elder care and asset protection.
"You don't have to be old to be
my client and I don't have to be
old to be your lawyer," she said.
According to Waldoch, as
people get older, they should
prepare not only in case they die,
but in case that they don't die and
have to enter the long-term care
system.
Her clients range in age from
six months to a 102-year-old.
The cost of long-term care is
"skyrocketing," she said, with an
increase of eight to 12 percent in
some places. In Tallahassee, the
cost can run $160-$170 a day for
nursing home level care for a
semi-private room and food.
Waldoch said the priority for her
is not to protect inheritance for
children, but to protect one's
assets while alive to pay for the
cost of living.
"Entering a nursing home or the
long-term care system is akin to
having a fire in your house or a


catastrophic automobile accident,"
she said.
Waldoch strongly recommended
people, as they get older, to get
long-term care insurance.

There are government programs
for public/private partnerships
where if someone has a certain


amount of insurance, once that
insurance runs out, the state will
help out with costs.
She also warned people to keep
abreast of state and federal laws as
there are several reforms in the
works on both levels which could
drastically change long-term care
benefits.

Technology in the classroom is

Who has green thumbs?


When Dr. Greg Molnar and Dr.
Tony DeLia started the greenhouse
or controlled environmental
agriculture (CEA) project at
NFCC last spring, they counted
on it being an innovative way for
college students to experience
hands-on science. What they
didn't expect was the bonus of
elementary students getting
involved as beginning gardeners
because of the project.
Second graders from Taylor
County were among those
participating, following a plan
that education department chair
Enid Kozlowski developed, and
Marlow Lauterbach of Shady
Grove and Denny Knight of
Madison carried out in Madison


six, seventh and eighth graders

identified as being capable of high
performance.
These are children who require
educational programs and/or
services beyond those normally
provided by the regular school
program in order to realize their
contribution to self and society.
The ideal curriculum for gifted
students is one that actively
engages students in the process of
learning.
Taylor County Middle School's
gifted curriculum is based on class
interests, special abilities and
vision and. goals for the future.
Core subjects and the arts are
incorporated in themed lessons
which focus on critical thinking,
intellectual discussion,
interpretation, creativity, research,
problem solving and generation of
original work.
Gifted students need
opportunities to take risks. With
technology, students can take risks
without fear of making mistakes.
Students can change projects or
assignments over and over until
they are satisfied with their
results. Those students new to
technology get immediate
feedback. Technology brings
relevant resources from the real
world, provides tools for analyzing
and synthesizing data and conveys
contents through a variety of
media and formats.
Randy Newman and GTCom
understand the need for community
and social involvement in our
gifted classroom.
GTCom recently donated
removable file storage called
"Jump drives" to every student in
the middle school gifted program.
These devices are about the size of
a small "Juicy Fruit" gum pack
but store more information than a
floppy disk, are much more stable
and are portable.
With this new technology, there
are few limits to what the students
can achieve in the gifted
classroom.


and Perry classrooms.
Lauterbach, an early childhood
education major, from Shady
Grove, said, "This offers the third
graders an opportunity to do real
science
Lauterbach and Knight set up a
gardening project for the
youngsters. Under their direction,
the young gardeners planted seeds
and watched them germinate and
grow. Now in Connie Sullivan's
second-grade class, there's a supply
of healthy plants waiting to
become the first winter crop of
vegetables grown in the
greenhouse project.
For information, contact Dr.
Greg Molnar, 850/973-1644 or

Connie Sullivan's second graders earned green thumbs in
their collaboration with NFCC's greenhouse project.

'Give them a chance--Shop At Home'


By DAWN V. TAYLOR
Executive Director
Chamber of Commerce.
From time to time, I like to
address the topic of keeping our
shopping dollars in the local area
whenever possible. This is a very
important message, and one that
-Iwe must all work to get across over
and over again, especially during
the holiday season. As business
community leaders, Chamber
members must take a lead role in
trumpeting this crucial message.
When people you know mention
"that they are thinking about
purchasing something out of town,
point out to them that when they do
their shopping outside of the area,
the following chain reaction is set
into motion which eventually
affects us all in a very negative
way.
Obviously, local retailers are the


first to suffer, but it doesn't end
there. These business owners and
their employees are also
consumers. If profits are down at
their own store, they in turn will
.have less money to spend at other
stores, reducing the profits of those
establishments.
Reduced profits for local
businesses result in less money
being deposited with banks,
thereby reducing the amount of
money available to be loaned (and
reinvested) in the local community.
Businesses that are hit especially
hard by out-of-town competition
may close, decreasing property
values, of commercial properties
and personal properties alike,
leaving less money for public
schools, street maintenance, and a
whole host of other public projects
and needs. Eventually, the entire
local economy, and every local

resident's pocketbook, suffers in
one way or another.
Having pointed out this chain of
events, ask the potential out-of-
town shopper if they have checked
to see if the product is available
locally. It never ceises to amaze
me the number of people who have
lived in our area for several years
but are unaware that they can buy
this or that particular item right
here. They just assume they can't,
so they shop elsewhere. If
possible, give these individuals
some suggestions regarding which
local retailers might have the
particular item they are seeking.
Assuming that the item can be
purchased locally, the leading
concern will inevitably be price.
Remind your acquaintances that
they should not assume that out-of-
town retailers can always beat the
prices of Perry retailers. If price is
their main concern, tell them to at
least give local retailers a chance to
match or beat out-of-town prices.
If a local retailer can meet or beat
the price, then obviously there isn't
a problem. If the local retailer's
price is higher, then tell the
potential out-of-town shoppers to
remember to add up the cost of gas
and what the wear and tear on their
car would be to drive out of town.
Adding these hidden additional
costs will give them a more
accurate idea of what the "true"
cost of the item is if purchased out
of town.
Of course, it never hurts to point
out to them also that service,
before and after the purchase
should be another important key.
A local store should be in the
position to give better customer
service than an out-of-town store.
This additional level of customer
service could help them to make an
informed purchase decision, and to
avoid buying something that wasn't
right for them. Furthermore,
remind them to consider the
additional time and cost involved
in getting their purchased item
services out-of-town as opposed to
locally.
While these are all
considerations that local

When we built our home in the
uttermost parts of Taylor County, I
lobbied with determination for a
wooden structure.
"We live in the Forest Capital of the
South," I said in a prepared statement.
"If I lived in, the Brick Capital of the
South, I'd want a brick home."
"Cedar," the husband said, mulling
over my choice, wishing I was more
compliant.
Finally, after much debate (in which I
nixed his idea of a concrete yard
painted green), we decided on a cedar
structure to call home, sweet, home.
And love it, we do. It has weathered
high wind and rain; it has, withstood
baseball teams and golf tournaments; it
has stretched to accommodate a second
child and plenty of guests.
In fact, the house has given us very
little trouble.
But it's starting to crumble.
"Crumble?!?!?" said the daughter-at-
college when I relayed my concerns over
the telephone. "The house is falling
down?" she asked, immediately
concerned with what people would
think.
"No, it's not falling down," I explained.
"It's just crumbling around the edges."
When you're my age, you're more
understanding. Crumbling happens.
This house has been standing outside
for 16 years. It has endured abuse by-
woodpeckers and tropical storm winds,
as well as 100-degree heat emanating
from the sun. Little ferns have attached
themselves to its gutters and boring
insects 'have had their way with it.
It's just crumbling a bit.
While I resist plastic surgery for
myself because it's just that--plastic
surgery--I am more than willing to sign
my house up for a little work: a lift
here, a tuck there. It's not luscious lips
we're after, but a firm foundation and a
return to "good bones."
It's the Advent season, you know, and
I've been encouraged to look for the
unexpected...to see through the
mundane and find the wonderful.
Monday morning at 8:30, I


e wise guys


By SUSAN H. LINCOLN

documented a sighting of three men
who will resist the label of "wise." They
didn't come from the East--or at least,
not the Far East. They came from
downtown Perry. They didn't have gifts
of gold, frankincense or myrrh. They
had hammers and tool belts. And
instead of crowns, they wore hats that
advertised a building supply business.
It was a remarkable sighting. I had
been told of angels in tool belts and I
wondered if they might have descended
from heaven, but I saw their trucks
parked in my driveway. So I guess they
traveled the normal way.
They were pleasant enough and
unexpected, too. What contractor
shows up when he says he will? (Note:
First miracle of Advent, 2005,
documented.)
The dog, not given to Advent
sightings, first alerted me to their
presence. I threw open the sash to see
what was the matter, and there they
were. In-the rain. Looking for ways to
fix This Old House that we love. I flew
down the steps, lest the dog run them
off, and I found Three Willing Men with
a plan and a cell phone.
"Your dog may get sick if he bites us,
said one.
The dog, who reads lips, suddenly got
quiet and backed away.
So they're not wise men, they're wise
guys. But they're quick to smile and
ready to work. (Note: Second miracle of
Advent, 2005, documented.)
I left This Old House for This Old
Office, feeling pretty good. Instead of
hanging wreaths this year, I'm hanging
carpenters on my windows. But I'm
fortunate that I'm not in New Orleans or
without a house, that I can afford a
house, that I can find workers, and that
my family loves to gather at home,
sweet, home which will soon crumble-
no more.
But the next house I build, whether in
the Forest Capital of the South or the
Stucco Capital of South Florida, will be
brick.
With a concrete yard painted green, of
course.

Dear Editor:
The Chamber of Commerce
would like to thank the following
businesses for their contributions
to the Mr. and Mrs. Tourist
celebration:
Rebecca's, Sisters', Heavenly
Floors, Jeanette's, Joyce's Main
Street Cafe., Johnson's Bakery;,''
Perry Theater, Fair Store,
Reflections, Debbie's Jewels,

Thank you also to J. T. Davis,

Society, for serving as their
walking tour guide.


residents shopping locally. They
must work to get their message
out, again and again. They need
to make their prices, all things
considered, competitive with out-
of town stores. They need to
provide better service than out-of-
town stores, before and after the
sale. They also need to look at
how then can better serve their
customers, including offering
extended or different hours,
creative financing plans which
may be convenient to their
customers, a larger selection of
merchandise, and other incentives


for consumers to shop locally.
Remember, the two most
important things local business
professionals can do to keep
consumers shopping locally are to
spread the message of why it is
important and, more importantly,
to serve by example. If local
businesses expect local residents
to buy locally, they must also buy
locally. Dollars spent locally
stay in the community and work
for you. We are a thriving retail
community that is ready to serve
our area consumers. We just need
to give them a chance.


Perry Connections supplied
emergency relief assistance by
providing WildBlue (the newest
high-speed satellite internet
system) for Ashbritt
Environmental immediately
following Hurricane Katrina.
Several sites in Mississippi and
Louisiana were provided satellite
internet solutions through this
arrangement, according to Andy
Jackson, president and owner of
Perry Connections.
Ashbritt Environmental is a
Pompano Beach company
contracted by the Army Corps of
Engineers to provide waste
management services for clean-up
efforts in Louisiana and
Mississippi following Hurricane
Katrina. "Tens of thousands of
loads of storm debris per day are
gathered and hauled to waste
disposal sites by large and small
independent contractors," said
Jackson. "These mostly
Mississippi and Louisiana sub-
contractors are managed by
Ashbritt which organizes offices
and staff to support this effort in
the hurricane-affected areas."
In some areas in Mississippi
and Louisiana, the telephone and
cable systems were totally
demolished, Jackson reminded.


Correction:
Correction: Walt L. Beers Jr.,
PhD, worked at Buckeye Cellulose
Corporation from 1953-82, where
he was the lands and timber
research manager. His title was
incorrectly listed as lands and
timber manager in a previously
published article.

"When contacted following this

immediately available to respond
and install satellite internet
solutions." he said. "The response


was so quick that wireless internet
was installed and available while
computers were still being
unpacked and furniture set up for
offices."
