Members of the Taylor County
Joint Drug Task Force (JDF) made
the yuletide holidays less cheerful
for one woman when she was
caught--electronically--selling
crack cocaine (twice) to a
confidential informant last week.
A search warrant was obtained
for the South Orange Street
residence of Yvonne Johnson, 40,
and afterward, officers had another
confidential informant call her,
:requesting to buy crack.
When Johnson arrived at a
scheduled meeting place with the
drugs, she was arrested. In the
meantime, other officers converged
at her residence, ready for the
search.
Johnson was taken by arresting
officers back to hei residence,.
where she said there were guns.
"We. entered the house," said
JDF Det. Mike Anderson, "and
encountered three black males and
a baby.
"Johnson told us that she wished
to cooperate and said the three men
were from Atlanta and had brought
some crack with them to Perry."


EMS $$$


continue


to climb

Doctors' Memorial Hospital
CEO Rick Brown, for the third
straight month, told
commissioners that he did not *
need all of the county's monthly
Emergency Management Services
subsidy.
According to an agreement
between the county and the
hospital, the county gives a
monthly subsidy to help with costs
of the EMS program. In the current
fiscal year's budget, the county
gives $25,000 a month.
,At. last week's county
commission meeting, however,
Brown said he only needed
$5,355. For the month of October,
which the December subsidy is
for, the EMS program saw $57,074
in cash collections with total
expenses of $52,409.
In October, Brown gave the
county $1,017 in refunds for
overpayment on its monthly
subsidy. In Novemeber, he only
asked for $15,675.
Brown said in November that if
the trend continues for two more
months, he would consider asking
the board to lower its monthly
subsidy.


Johnson also told Taylor County Found during the search were 16
Sheriffs Office Inv. Dewayne bags of marijuana with an
Bratcher that there was "some estimated street value of $1,000,
marijuana in a closet and two two .38 caliber pistols and some

Along with three Social Security numbers



Suspect boasted 17 aliases


Multiple crack cocaine
rocks...multiple DUIs...multiple
aliases...multiple Social Security
numbers...and multiple active
warrants for arrests.'
What do they have in common?
They belong to three suspects
who are now incarcerated at the
Taylor County Jail.
According to recent reports,
when Perry Police Department Ptl.
Dwight Norris conducted a traffic
stop last week on a SUV with a
broken windshield, the driver told
him that his name was Randy
William Watts, 45.
After some confusion, Norris ran
the name William Randy Watts and
made a hit on a suspended driver's
license from Florida. The license
turned out to have been suspended
three times for separate DUIs and


revoked a total of four times on
DUIs and other charges.
"Watts had bloodshot eyes," said
Norris,, "and his breath smelled.like
alcohol. When I read him his
Miranda rights, he told me that he
would not take a breath test."
Watts was taken into custody and
transported to the Taylor County
Jail.
"I had patted down Watts at the
roadside traffic stop," said Norris,
"but didn't check his baseball cap.
When we arrived at the'jail, I
pulled off his cap and discovered a
bag containing several pieces of
crack cocaine, stuck in the brim."
Norris ran a check. on Watts and
found him to have 17 different
aliases, three Social Security
numbers he used and two active
warrants for his arrest in two

Two 'more block memorial monuments arrived and were installed at Veterans Memorial Park

message calling for residents to support America's troops this holiday season.


states--one in Leon County for
VOP (grand theft) and the other in
Texas for violating parole.
This week, Norris and fellow
officer Ptl. Wesley Cooper did it
again.
Norris once again made a traffic
stop, this time on a Ford truck with
a tail light out.
The driver was identified as
Terry Lee Hugger, 28, and the
passenger, Luke Sparrow, 20.
While talking with them, Norris
said he could smell the odor of
marijuana, which had just
been smoked, coming out of the
vehicle.
Norris called in each man's name
to dispatch, which informed him
that Sparrow had two active
warrants for his arrest.
One warrant was for failure to
appear for driving with no valid


driver's license and the other was
for violation of probation.
In the meantime, Cooper, who
had arrived at the scene to serve as
back-up, searched the vehicle with
Norris.
During the search, Cooper found
a pill bottle containing more than
20 crack rocks, valued at
approximately $400, in the
floorboard.
Also, Norris discovered a blunt
(cigar leaf used to roll a
large marijuana cigarette), and a
marijuana cigarette butt (rohch),
in another area of the
vehicle.
Both men were arrested and
taken to the county jail--Sparrow,
on his warrants, and Hugger for
possession of cocaine with intent to
sell and possession of less than 20
grams of marijuana.


Williams 'guilty'



of animal cruelty

SA Perry woman charged with cruelty to animals has been sentenced to
three years of probation and ordered to pay an estimated $1,300 in court
costs.
The ruling was handed down last week following a November jury trial.
The sentence also included a condition that the offender, Victoria Denise
Williams, "cannot own or possess animals until further ordered."
Williams, 32, was arrested Jan. 21 of this' year after police found 15
bulldogs on her property in "various stages of health, with some showing
signs bf malnutrition, and of being raised and bred for fighting."
The dogs were discovered while a search warrant was being executed on
the property on another matter.
At the time of the incident, Perry Police Department Jamie Cruse noted
in his report that, "Most of the dogs did not have adequate shelter. They did
not have any potable water and there was no food available to them. Most
of the dogs had scars and injuries to their heads and front legs. One of the
dogs had a swollen head and appeared to have puncture wounds to the
head, causing the swelling. On one dog, you could see his ribs showing and
when he was approached, he would run away and attempt to hide."
Eight of the 15 dogs remain in custody at the Taylor County Animal
Shelter. The other animals have either been euthanized or were stolen in a
subsequent break-in at the shelter.
A final custody hearing regarding the animals is scheduled for early
January.
"Our office will continue to actively pursue investigations and charges
against individuals found to be abusing or neglecting their animals. We
want to try to cover the whole gamut--from people involved with animal
fighting to neglect--and will take it as far as the court system allows,"
.Animal Control Director Brianne Hoover said.

A-2 The Taco Times December 21, 2005
Col. Ammons:

'We moved 21 times i


AMMONS
Continued from page 1
"When I asked him why, he told
me the recruiters were there and we
were going to sign up for the
reserves.
"I asked him if there was a
mouse in his pocket, because he
was talking in plural.
"He asked me, 'Do you like
money?'
"Being a college student having
to work, of course I liked money.
"'If you're planning to join after
college, you'll make more money
if you join the reserves now,' he
told me.
And that's just what Ammons
did.
"It was really a spur of the
moment thing," he said.
"Right after I joined there was
,the Cuban Missile Crisis and the
Berlin Blockade and I was afraid I
was going to be activated, but I
wasn't.
"My friend was right, it was a
smart thing to do.
"I tell a lot of kids' here at
school one of the best things to
help yourself go to college is to
join the National Guard. Some
listen to me, so don't.",
Ammons graduated college in
January 1959 with a major in
physical education and a minor in
chemistry.
"My intent was to be the
world's greatest basketball coach. I
was offered the position of the
activity director for a park in St.
Johns County in Floridd. I didn't
even know where St. Johns
County was. I was an Alabama
boy."
Instead he joined active duty
March 16; 1959.
"I wore Army khaki, then Army
green. I remember wearing brown
'.boots. When I joined they were
just beginning to change over to
black boots. They wouldn't give
me a new pair of boots; they made
me dye them."
SAmmons would stay on active
duty for more than 28 years.
"I moved around a lot," he said
of his service.
-That miight, be an
understatement.
"My first 18 years of marriage,
we moved 21 times. One time we
still had stuff in the packing boxes
when I got a letter saying I was
being transferred. I went home and
told my wife, 'Stop unpacking,
we're going again.'"
SAmmons served one tour in
Korea, lasting 15 months, and two
tours in Vietnam for two years.
He also spent three and one-half
years stationed in Germany.
"I enjoyed my three and a half
years in Germany and I'll leae the
rest at that," he said of his
overseas duty..
As Ammons ,was nearing his
retirement, he began to look into
ROTC.
"When an officer reaches 30
years, he must retire
commissioned service," he said. "I
was getting close.
"I hid bought what I thought
would be our retirement home. I
: was going to teach history in
Newnan, Ga., just south of
Atlanta.
"I tested the waters and was
offered this job. I discussed it with
my wife and we made the decision
to come here.
"My first two weeks here I was
still on active duty, on leave. I
started in mid-August and I retired
on Aug. 31.
"I tell a funny story of my
introduction to high school
students. Keep in mind I came
from a very disciplined
environment. With the rank of
colonel, people generally did what
I told them to.
"I was advised I would not be
very happy in an undisciplined,
high school environment.
"My first.day I told everyone
about my history and my family
and myself. After I was through I
asked if anyone had any questions.
"One little girl raised. her hand
and asked, 'Where did you get that


fat belly?'
"And I was thinking, 'Okay...'"
The biggest difference from then
to now?
"I have a whole lot more gray
hair," he joked.
Ammons' work with JROTC
has not. been limited to.Taylor
County.
"I was part of making the
summer.camp' program at Camp
Blanding. We are the largest and
the finest JROTC summer camp
in the nation. Numerically we can
prove we're the largest and Cadet
Command said we were the
flagship and the best.
"I Was privileged to be a part of
that."
He also represented Cadet
Command in writing the Army
JROTC standards in the course
code for the State Department of
Education.
One of the signature events at
TCHS each year is the annual
Veterans Day program led by the
JROTC and Ammons.
"When I first arrived here, the
JROTC did a little Veterans Day
ceremony and the ,veterans
organizations also had a program
that they ran.
"They approached me about
doing a joint program. We did that
one year. The next year they
approached me saying they wanted
me to take-over the joint program.
That's how it started."
During this year's program,
however, Ammons lost control of
the event momentarily when his
cadets presented him with the
Outstanding Civilian Service
Medal.
Signed by Maj. General Alan
W. Thrasher, U.S. Army,
commanding, the accommodation
reads, "for exceptionally
meritorious service from August


n 18 years'
1987 to December 2005, while
serving as the senior army
instructor, Taylor County High
School, Perry, Florida, Colonel
Ammons greatly improved Junior
ROTC within his school and
others within the State of Florida
by establishing the Camp
Blanding Junior ROTC Cadet
Leadership Challenge. Colonel
Ammons' outstanding efforts
reflect great credit on him, Cadet
Command and the United States
Army."
"There are ae a lot of good
memories I will take with me into
retirement," Ammons said last
Thursday, surrounded in his office
by plaques and paperwork, in and
out of boxes, as he prepared for
one last. move.
"I have absolutely, thoroughly,
thoroughly enjoyed what I have
done," he said.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed
being in this community. I feel
very blessed for all my friends I
have made and the many students
that have come through my
program."
His plans now include staying
in the commnuity and working on
his farm, where he and his wife
raise Nubian dairy goats,
numbering some 35.
He also shows his goats,
winning a best of show ribbon
recently in Tallahassee.
Perhaps it's fitting he is back on
a farm, having spent his childhood
in Alabama on one.
"You know the adage, 'You can
take the boy out of the farm, but
you can't take the farm out of the
boy,'" Ammons said.
"Tomorrow, when I hang up my
uniform, I'll be out, but that
doesn't mean they'll take the
solider out of me."

Continued from page 1
was driving south on Hwy. 19,
when he spotted a car which had
been swerving suddenly make a
quick turn. into a local motel.
"The driver, later identified as
Leon R. Smith, 25, pulled into
the first parking slot he got to and
quickly exited the vehicle," said
Kelly.
"I turned on my emergency
lights and told the driver to stop.
where he was. As I approached
him, he was acting very nervous,
pacing from the front to the back
of his car," said Kelly,
When Smith was told he was
going to be searched for weapons,
"he pulled out two large bundles
of cash and threw them on the
trunk of the car.
"As I patted his front pockets,
he told me that he had marijuana
in his back pocket," added Kelly.
"He also had three cell phones'on
his belt."
Smith was then arrested, but
told officers he wanted them to
count the cash in front of him,
"because he didn't know how
much was there.
"I then counted the money in
front of Smith, which came out to
$1,275," Kelly said. "Smith also
had seven bags of marijuana on
him."
Kelly added that during the
whole time the arrest and search
was being conducted at the motel
and during the ride to the county
jail, Smith's three phones were
continuously ringing.
"I asked Smith if he had a bunch
of girlfriends," Kelly said,
"because of all the calls he was
receiving on the phones.
"Later, while typing the arrest'
affidavit on Smith, his phones
continued, to ring and Sgt. Dodd
Franklin and myself answered one
of them.
"It sounded like a white male on
the other end, and he asked if we
had some. We asked what it was
he needed and said that he wanted
to know how much half a gram
was.
"The man then said he wanted to
speak to Leon 'and we told him
that Leon was tied up at the

A-6 The Taco Times December 21, 2005


Taylor County High's basketball
team proved it could play with the
big boys in Tallahassee over the
weekend as the Bulldogs battled
into Monday's championship
game of the Elks Lodge Holiday
Classic at Lincoln High but came
up a few buckets short.
The Bulldogs (9-3) outscored
Lincoln (8-2)'in three of the four
quarters of the title game but a 15-
0 run by the Trojans in the third
period sealed TCHS's fate.


Taylor County jumped out to a
12-10 lead after the first quarter
and carried a 30-27 advantage into
halftime before Lincoln jumped
on the 'Dogs in the third to take a
54-43 lead going into the final
stanza.
The Bulldogs rallied back in the
final period and narrowed the
Trojans' lead to 56-50 at one point
before eventually falling by a 69-
62 margin.
Genario McNealy led all Taylor


Counts scorers %ith 15 points
followed by Rick Williams w ith
1-I and Tony Powell with 9.
Rounding out the scoring for the

Lady Bulldogs are first in district race


Taylor County girls soccer has
had an exciting eventful week.
now 9-3 on the season and in sole
possession of first place in the
district.
S Coach Kerry Puhl said, "The
Lady Bulldogs are playing some
very good soccer right now against
some quality opponents. We're
getting some injured players back
into the lineup which is providing
us with some much needed depth."
On Wednesday, Dec. 7, the Lady
Dogs played district foe Madison
County. Taylor jumped out to a 3
goal lead in the first half, adding 6
more goals in the second half to
beat the Madison Lady Cowboy
team 9-1. Jenni Cantrell was taken
to the hospital in the first half.
After a collision with a Cowboy
player causing her to take a
serious blow to the head. The Cat-
Scan later revealed no damage to
the temple area. she was later. ,
cleared to play. Leading the
scoring in the game was Krystle
Towles with 4 goals and 4 assist.,
Katie Cooper had 3 goals with 2
assist. Followed by a goal and an
assist .:from Cindy Wilson.
Chelsea Mathers had the final goal
of the night. Other contributors
were Courtney Speas and Austin
McCracken with an assist each.
Next up for the Bulldogs was a
weekend road trip taking on two
larget,4Aschools in Wakulla and
PC Arnold. On Friday night
Taylor beat Wakulla 5-0.
"Wakulla had knocked us out of
the district playoffs last year
spoiling our chances to go to
state, so it was kind of nice to'
come backhand avenge last year's
season ending loss," said Puhl.
It was a well played game, with
the Bulldogs taking the lead early
on the first of Katie Cooper's four
goals on the night with an assist
from Jenni Cantrell. The other
goal was scored by Austin
McCracken with an assist from
Jessica Stanton. The other assist
came from Krysitle Towles (2) and
Beth Johnson. who is playing
solid as a defender this year.


After staying over night in
Panama City Friday night, the
Lady Bulldogs got off to a good
start Saturday morning hitting the
outlet malls in Destin.
"The girls had a good time and
it was good for the team to get
away together," said Puhl. "That
night we played a very good PC
Arnold team. Arnold took an early
lead to which our girls responded
immediately and scored a goal
,right back. That's the way it
stayed till late in the second half
when PC scored their final goal
for the win. I felt like we were the
better team that night, but we
didn't'take advantage of our
opportunities. We'll learn from
that game"
After.a day off the Lady Dogs
went right back to \work against a
very strong and talented Suw annee
team on Monday night: Taylor
t ook the early lead in a hard fought
game on a pass from Krystle
Towkles to Katie Cooper who put.
it in the back of the net.. But.
Suwannee got back into it late in
'the:first half with a goal of their
own. That's the way it stayed till
the middle of the second half when
Suwannee soi-ed again. They
scored their 3rd and final goal:wM,.
30 seconds to go on a header off a
comer kick.
The game had to be halted for
about 45 minutes when Austin
McCracken got injured and was
flown to Shands. due to a
neck injury sustained 5 minutes
into the second half. She was
released the next day from the
hospital.
The tough game in Suwannee
help prepare the Lady Dogs for the
showdown at home against a very.
* good 12-1-1 Macla, squad. Maclay
is ranked 10th in ihe state in 2A
and had recently beaten a top 6
team.
Katie Cooper led the scoring
with, 2 goals on assists from
Krystle Towles. Senior Towles
added another unassisted goal on a
free kick just outside the 18.
Maclay added another second half


goal to make the final score 3-2. It
was a game that featured the Big
Bends two leading scorers. Kalie
Cooper and Devon Cavanaugh.
both hate 31 goals. After the
game Maclay coach Andy Warner
complimented tlie Taylor girls on
their play.
"I see a lot of improvement in
the skill and execution of the
Taylor County girls. They play
very good soccer," Warner said.
"One of the keys to our success
.this season is the play qf our:
defense. The girls in the back get
very little recognition because
they don't get their names in the
paper scoring and assisting on
goals, but they are fantastic
players who can play with
anybody. The no-name defense
consist of senior captain Courtney
Speas, sophomore sensations Beth
SJohnson,' Cameron Myers,
Jennifer Hunter. and Natalie'
:Clark." said assistant coach
Cantrell. "Speas is a four year

starter w ho has really controlled
the right side of the field for us
this year. Cameron plays the
sweeper role, she is so quick that
rarely does anyone ever gets past
her. She has done a great job. Beth
Johnson is an anchor in the center
of our defense. She's tough,
strong, and clears the ball well out
of the back.
* "On the left side Natalie had to
step into a starting position for. an
injured Jennifer I~unter. Natalie
has gotten better and better each
game. We've gotten- very
comfortable with her back there:
I'd take this group over any
defensive group I've seen. Jennifer
Hunter isexpected to rejoin the
team over the Christmas break.
Our defense compliments our top
rated goal keeper in the Big Bend,
Elizabeth Cooper. Elizabeth is
ha, ing a fantastic season, we owe
a lot of our success to her too."

The following tribute, written by Jamie Adams,
appeared in the Sumter"County Times on Jan. 1, 2004.

Paying a special tribute to

Mrs. Bessie


I received a. phone call the other day that Mrs. Bessie, a dear and '
longtime friend had just passed away. I don't know it for a fact but
Mrs. Bessie may well have been the very first person to see me on AA
this earth: Back in the winter of 1940 I was born in a small community .
in Taylor County, Florida, call Fenholloway and there was not a
hospital anywhere close by so nearly everyone in that neck of the
woods was.born right in the same house they lived in..
Dr. Walter Baker was our doctor as well as everyone else's'family doctor for miles and miles
around. He delivered me at birth and had also delivered another boy named Blrtow three months
earlier to Mrs. Bessie whom I would grow up with andcbecome lifelong best friends.
As I just mentioned, I would bet that Mrs.. Bessie was right there helping Dr. Baker as I drew.
my first breath. Also I would venture to say that my own mama might well have been helping Dr.
Baker with Mrs. Bessie at the time my buddy Bartow was being borq. That is the way it.used to
be in small communities all over Florida as good friends went about helping and stuck by their
.neighbors int imes of need.
Mrs. Bessie had six children and she and her husband John only lived a rock's throw distance
from the house I was raised in. Being such close neighbors it was only natural that her kids were,
over at our house a lot while at the same time me and my two brothers spent a bunch of days and
nights at their house.-
SIt was kind of like you had a second mama to help raise you.and you best believe I loved Mrs.
Bessie with all my heart. Mrs. Bessie and Mr. John always lived in a big house and they sure
needed one because both she and Mr. John themselves came from large familiesand there was
always a bunch of loved ones visiting or stopping by their house to eat some of Mrs. Bessie's
famous cooking.
SIn the 40's and early 50's in our small community of Fenholloway, everybody could always be
depended on to help each other out. There was not that many cars or trucks around so when
someone was going to town, the person going would check and see'if a neighbor needed
something from town or per chance to go along to do some shopping or take care of some
business.
There was no such thing as a fancy car in those days and Mr. John always had a pickup truck.
Many times he would take a load of us younguns into town along with him and Mrs. Bessie on
Saturday and we would would go to the picture show and spend all afternoon. Most of the time
we were watching a good western movie through and through both times it ran.
It was the same way as far as going to a school basketball or football game. Either Mr. John or
my daddy would be around to give one of us boys.a ride if we needed it. Both Mr. John and Mrs.
Bessie were great followers and supporters of school sports and, well, they should have been as
all three of their boys were great athletes and were all-stars in any sport they played.
Looking. back on Mrs. Bessie's life while she was a beautiful and special person in the way she
always helped her neighbors and friends, however this part of her life paled when it came to
serving the Lord. I want to let you all know right now that Mrs. Bessie dearly loved the Lord and
would preach you a short sermon in a heartbeat if she thought in 'anyway you might be in need '
of one:
Both she and my mama were devout members of their church and when the doors opened
both of them would be on the front pew taking in and voicing a loud amen to what the preacher
had to say. ,
Serving the Lord was first and foremost in Mrs. Bessie's life and she lived that way up until she
died at the age of 87. I attended her funeral and I had a good time. You might think that a little
unusual, but when Mrs. Bessie died the funeral was a celebration. You see, Mrs. Bessie wanted
it that way as she did not want people moping around and doing a lot of crying. She was-home
where shewanted to be and in the place she had looked forward to being all her life. There was
not a lot of dropped heads down on chests at her home-going. The church the day of her funeral
was a happy place and the music that was being played and the songs being' sung were rejoicing
at Mrs. Bessie's going home to be with her Jesus.
The church was cram-packed with no telling how many folks, with the majority of them being
'kin folks, and the rest her extended family of longtime neighbors and loved ones that while npt
blood kin were considered a special part of her family. As I looked around at all the folks who
attended the service, I had to smile and think to myself that there was, not a single person in the
whole church that Mrs. Bessie had not touched or helped in some way or another.
The church was filled with love, and as I said, it was a happy and joyous occasion, as Mrs.
Bessie would have had it no other way. As I close I want'to add that Mr. John is 90 years old and
he and Mrs. Bessie were married for 70 years and if there was ever two people who were truly in
love with one another, it was Mrs. Bessie and Mr. John.


Mrs. Bessie's funeral was held at the First Assembly of God in Perry, Fl., on Dec. 19, 2003. A
message in tongues was given during the service and the full interpretation given at a later date
was interpreted as follows: A star has fulfilledits time and fallen, a light of heaven. One who set
the example for others. Her race is finished here. Now'it's time for others to step out and walk
in the light, the example that was set before them

My First

Christmas 1

in Heaven 1

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
With tiny lights like Heaven's stars, reflected in the snow.
The sight is so spectacular; please wipe away your tears.
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ, this year.


I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
But their sound can't compare with the Christmas choir.up here!
I have no words to tell you of the joy their voices bring,
It is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.


I know how much you miss me, I see your broken heart,
But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.
Thank you for your kindness, you know I hold you dear,
Be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.


I send to you a special gift from Heaven, my home above.'
I send you the memory of my undying love.
The gift of love is precious, more precious than pure gold,
And always most important, in the stories Jesus told.


Please love and keep those others, as my Father said to do.
SI just can't count the blessings He has in store for you!
So have a Merry Christmas, and wipe away that tear,
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year!

'Let u8l



adore



him*

In this season of joy and
reflection, the thoughts of many
are turned to the life of Jesus
Christ.
Striking in their majesty, the
stained glass windows in the main
sanctuary of St. James Episcopal
Church in Perry represent the
events in the life of Chrisi--
beginning with the Nativity and
ending with the Ascension.
A guided tour of the collection
shows that the first two windows,
"The Resurrection" and "Jesus
Blessing the Children," were
installed in 1984 for the John
Dickert and Davis Sims families.
Both worked together with
Truett George of Advent Glass to
develop a plan for all 10 windows.
After much research to
determine the style of windows
most appropriate for St. James,
Roy Coomber of Bristol, Englan'd,
was chosen as the main designer.
The inspiration of the designs
came mainly from Trinity
Episcopal. Church in St. Augustine.
In 1984, Coomber provided water
color renderings for all eight
windows depicting the life .of
Christ plus a window dedicated to
St. Francis.
In 1986, "The Healing" window V.
was installed and, as one of the
first three windows placed at the
church, was painted at the Advent
Glass Studio by New York artist
Dick Millard using Coomber's .
designs.
In the early 1990s, the late Jim
Arnold coordinated an effort to
find donors for the remaining
windows, and by 1992, all. of the
windows representing the life of
Chrii. as tell as ihe Si Francis of -.

Letters to the Editor

Writer speaks out aboutno Christmas party


!pDear Editor: -
"I'Over the years I have Sat back
and said nothing while people
argued whether or not they should
allow this or that to be taught in
school because it was not in this
person's religion or that person's
religion.'
I served my country for 13 1/2
years so people could have those
freedoms. I am also a very tolerant
person when it comes to religion
and the practice and beliefs of
those religions.
However, when it gets -to -the
point that a child cannot have a
Christmas party at school because
it might offend someone else's
religious or social beliefs, I, draw
the line!
1J I was informed just that.by the'
Headstart School right herein
Perry. I would understand, if there
was a. religious undertone, to a
point, but there are things about
Christmas and the Christmas spirit
of giving that can be celebrated at a
school party.
Not only that but, all the schools
have Christmas parties except for
the Headstart.
I was also informed that my
child could not give out candy
canes to his classmates because
they might have a food allergy and
it could hurt them. While I


I


understand about allergies.and do
not wish 10 .cause harm to any child -
for any reason, if the teachers:
cannot be trusted to know.these
allergies and make sure that the
child is not given these types of
foods then we have a major
problem with our school system. If
the teacher. cannot do this simple
task then that teacher-cannot be


trusted -to. teach j.ur children and

Issue is 'not about the boards'


Dear Editor:
'I am writing to you as an
employee of the Taylor Senior
Citizens Center and as a concerned
citizen of Taylor County and the
City of Perry in regard to the
present problems surrounding the"
"Old Board vs. New Board' issue.
I am writing in support of the
new administration and new board
policies and their attempt to gain
control of the building now serving
primarily as the dining and activity
programs of the. current Senior
services..
Any holdings of buildings in this
regard :should be turned over
immediately to the new board. This
should have been done at the get-
go but back-tracking now is'
useless. I urge the "old board" to
relinquish their rights to, this
building and any others that may or


Smay notbe held by this board to,
, the new administration..
This is for the good of.the senior
residents of Taylor County arid the
City of. Perry who are now
receiving, services of the Taylor
Senior Citizens Center, and include
those who will be receiving
services provided by the center in
the futtire. This is not about, the
"old board or the new board" and
who-should control what and for
what.reasons there may be. The
new board has.attempted numerous
times to resolve this problem,
which, unfortunately, remains
unresolved.
It is a shame and a disgrace that
our senior residents are caught in
this warp. We need resolution from
the "old board" immediately.
Please consider our seniors and our
seniors only in regard to this issue.
.Sincerely,.
A. J. Burch, Activity Director
for Taylor Senior Citizens

'Committee is

still committed'
Dear Editor: :
Over three years ago. our
Veterans Memorial :. Park
Committee asked' our city
commissioners to dedicate :the
present site for our memorial park.
It was very clear that it would
remain city property.
.We promised the city' "that we
would build a veterans memorial
park that our city and county could
be proud of, that it would be an
asset and a.landmark that would'
attract' visitors from everywhere.
As, a committee, we are still
cbinmitted to that promise.
Committee niembers and many
volunteers are working hard -to
build it. as designed with as little
cost as possible to our 6ity and

committee members have solicited
funds through sponsorship of most

block monuments, flag poles,

'Mental illness robbed


him of us, and us of him'


Dear Editor:
i am Deborah Sheffield, the
sister of the late Glen Sheffield of
Shady Grove. I would like to share
with the community of Perry my
thoughts about the man whom I
knew to be caring and generous
Sand who valued his nanre above all
else.
Many of you were closer to Glen
once I left home than I vwas, but I
will always remember the little boy
who was sensitive--a little bit of a
mama's boy--which was a good
thing, and who was proud as a
teenager that I was his big sister.
Later, after he graduated with his
associate's degree with honors, I
learned that his favorite visual
artist was Claude Monet, that he
liked psychology and that he was
an involved father during the time
he was a dad.
But mental illness robbed him of
us--and us of him.
Very few of us know the horrible
dispairing torture of mental illness
(and torture it is); nor have many of
us known the heartless
misunderstandings prevailing in
our society regarding that pain. In
the unfairness of life, my brother


became a tortured man whom I
believe grew tired of the fight
against a very strong foe.
In 1910, Theodore Roosevelt
gave a speech in Paris from which
"The Man in the Arena" originates.
I would like to read that to you now
as we think of Glen:
"It is not the critic who counts,
not the man who points out how
the strong man stumbled, or where,
the doer of deeds could have done
better. The credit- belongs to the
man who is actually in the arena;.
whose face is marred by the dust
and sweat and blood; who strived
valiantly; who errs and corimes short
again and again; who knows the
great enthusiasm, the great
devotions and spends himself in a
worthy cause; who at the best;
knows in the end the triumph of
high achievement... and who at the
worst... if hd fails, at least fails-
while daring greatly so that his
place shall never be with those cold
and timid souls who know neither
victory or defeat."
The Psalms are very comforting,
but Glen would be happy to khow
that Matthew 11:28-30 and John
10:10 offer comfort as well. From a


"Do you want to play Scrabble?" I
asked, and asI posed the questidrt I
feared the answer.-
Typically, pny children will sit around
a board game if I consent to do so. I
don't often consent, but on this day, a
cold rain had fallen for 12* hours, and
they had watched every drop of it. Or in
other words, drastic times call for
drastic measures.
SSo I braced myself for Scrabble. We
may one day make it in the Booking
Desk after a rousing game of Scrabble.
We tend to take winning seriously--all of
us--and forget about peace and good
will, even when we're only days away
from the observance of Christmas.
Since I'm old, I try to call up all the
previous shortcomings of other such
gaming events, and restate the rules.
Like Barney Fife, I remind that the first
rule is to obey all rules'.
After that, I review the rules on
challenging and losing your turn.
.1 review the taboo of proper nouns
and remind that no one sitting around
the table is forgiving.
The husband, who can be vicious at
board games, bowed out of this event,
probably. fearing that he might be
needed later for crowd control. It was a
good move.
I was very pleased when the elder
child's first word was "coaxed."
"Very good," said I; the dictionary-
mom who likes words and correct
spellings.
The son came through with award-
winning. words too, garnering a 30 for
his "torque."
"Very good," said I, equally pleased
that reading vroom-vroom magazines
can have some benefit.
'Allwas going well until the vdwels ran
short., That's traditionally when the
pputing begins. I think the daughter
could sit over a word as long as her
father can sit in a boat over a fish on a
pond.
The son and I are impulsive and would
have jumped out of the boat by that
time, and wrestled the fish to the
ground.
"Come on," said the brother to the
sister, raising his hands in frustration.
"I'm thinking," she said, not even
looking up.
It's interesting when dominant family
traits comp through at such ordinary
times.
Finally, she found three letters to
string together, and I knew the son
would protest: "We sat around here 15
minutes, waiting for that?" he asked.
"We need a timer," he proposed.
"Just play," I said, glad the husband


God of Peace and Rest we glean
that, "Life can be tiring and
frustrating at times! [and he says]
come to me when you are down--
stressed out with circumstances
and burdens that are weighing you
down. I will give you rest." (Hugs
for the Hurting 3)
I believe Glen is at rest and that
his spirit is in heaven with my
daddy and granddaddy, that he
suffers no more and that we can
know in our loss that he was a
sweet boy who grew into a strong
man who is tortured by unfairness
no more. My hope is that from
Glen's tragic departing (which
echoes my daddy's death of long
ago) that we can learn compassion
for others, compassion for
ourselves and never be afraid to
offer or reach out for help.
I am honored to have been here
with all of you who loved my
brother. I believe "The Darice" by
Garth Brooks lets us know that
Glen too was glad to have made
your 'acquaintance, been your
friend and to have loved you dearly
as a part of his family.

three letters and ended the word with
an "e" that was already on the board.
The word was, "rape."
"Don't put that word on my board,"
said I, the dictionary-mom who has
dominion over game boards and words.
"Are you challenging?" he asked.
"No, I'm not challenging," I insisted.
"I'm simply offended by the word--why
would you choose that word?"
"Because, those are the only letters I
have," he said.
"You don't have a 't' or a 'c' or any
other letter you can put before' your
'ape'?" I asked.
'"No Mom," he said. "I only have three
letters left."
"Well, 'what if you just put 'ape'
down?" I asked.
"Then, I would miss the triple-letter
score of 3 for the 'r' and this is a close
game. Now Mama, you've either got to
challenge--which means you'll lose your
next turn--or go on with the game." I
hate it when they re-state the rules to
me.
"Okay," I.said in a disgruntled tone,
remembering all the times I had lost
arguments with that child--wishing,
however momentarily, that he was one
of those children you could plop down
in front of a t.v. for 12 hours and all he
would say is, "More juice."
I was so, rattled by the word which
might win:' the game for him, that I
resorted to an "at" just to get me
through my turn. I wasn't going to win
--it was clear--and after a long day at
work,' the only brain cells I had left were
functionifig "at" half-power.
The daughter, always aspiring to be
the favorite child, gave me a knowing
glance, a winning smile, and turned that
boy's "rape" into a "grape" with a two-
point "g."
"Oh thank you," I said.
"You're always doing that," the son
said, in protest.
"You want to challenge?" I asked.
He ignored the question, which was
just as well, and furiously played the
word that had been swirling in his head
during the previous turn.
At the conclusion of the game, I lost
miserably and the children's scores
were so close that there was peace in
the village that night. As I returned the
tiles and racks to the well-worn box, I
looked at the word, "peace," and noted
that in the gaming world, it's only worth
nine points. But in the real world of
families and countries?
Yeah. It's priceless.
Merry Christmas.

Changes in procedure


Applying for food stamps?


The Department of Children and.
Families has changed how
customers may apply for food
stamps, Medicaid and cash
assistance.


In an effort to better serve the
community, the department has
launched a program called
ACCESS Florida. This program
increases access for citizens


Maintenance: 'trivial matter'


COMMITTED

benches, informational pedestals,
the equipment building and other
things.
The interest and response from
,jur community has been
overwhelming and now that it's
coming together, people are
visiting the park every day. Last
evening I went to see and talk to a
98-year-old lady, twice-retired
school teacher who wanted to buy
a bench in memory of four of her
students who are listed under


World War II on the KIA wall.
As I was talking with her about
our Veterans Memorial Park, I
couldn't help but think about our
city commissioners who are
having a problem with the
maintenance of the most
appreciated park in all of Taylor
County. With the overwhelming
support by the community for our
park, it would seem that
maintenance of it would be a
trivial matter for our elected
officials.

Holiday cheer
Christmas cheer abounds at the Taylor County Tax Collector's Office in the courthouse.
Santa's helpers have been busy decking the halls with garland and lights. Making sure that the
stockings are hung by the chimney with care are: (left to right) Allison Bishop, Ronnette
Griffin, Dana McAfee and Nina Walker. Not pictured is Wendy Parker. The custom-fit chimney
was crafted by Bettie Whiddon.


Can holiday policy be changed?

school and if they do not waht
their children to participate. then
take their children to a different
classroom for the day of the party
and do something else for them.
Same goes for the children with
allergies..Have food and candy for.
them that does not contain the
things that they are allergic to. If


the teacher is not sure if the food
and candy will have ingredients
that the child is allergic to then
have the parent,of the child send
specially made food or candy just
for that child.
;If you have ideas about how this
policy can be changed so! children
can celebrate'the season without
creating a problem for
administrators, please contact
Headstart'Director Eric Scott.


In closing, 1 will say this. It is
a sad day indeed if we can no
longer have a party for the children
for Christmas. What happened to
the Christmas spirit that everyone
.talks about? Christmas is not only
about religion it is about caring,
kindness and giving that in
itself deserves a party to
celebrate if for nothing else.
