Asks county for funding




DMH needs $500,000 bail-out


Doctors' Memorial Hospital officials didj not bring good tidings to the
first Taylor County Commission meeting of the new year Monday night.
Instead they brought news of continued financial woes at the hospital,
along with a request for an emergency bail-out of $500,000.
The request came from CEO Charlie Darcy and DMH Board of
Directors Chairman Scott Mixon, who spoke before a capacity crowd
consisting of mostly hospital board members, directors and employees.
The outlay, however, would only sustain the hospital through mid-
March, Darcy said. After that tinme, DMH would require a monthly subsidy
of $250,000.
Commissioners will hold a public hearing at the next meeting--Tuesday,
Jan. 22--to consider approving the $500,000 request.
During discussions Monday, several commissioners expressed a
willingness to approve the initial request, but by ordinance, the
commission cannot make mid-year allocations to outside agencies without
a public hearing.
The commission will also a hold a workshop Thursday, Jan. 17, to
discuss the county's finances to see if there is enough available cash to
make such an outlay. Millions of the county's dollars are still tied up in the
State Board of Administrative Local Government Investment Pool.
At Monday's meeting, Darcy began the hospital's presentation by
reviewing November's financials, which marked the second straight
month reporting aomore than $400,000 net operating loss.
He blamed much of the loss on a reduction in admissions and a steady
rise in unfunded care.
"We're hot doing well at all," he said of admissions, which have trailed
far behind the numbers during the same months in 2006.
He said there has been a national and state downward trend in hospital
admissions.
.'"Hospitals are all struggling to find out why that is. Nobody has a good
answer. It's happening statewide and it's really affecting our bottom line
-* Please see page 5


Doctors' Memorial Hospital Board of Directors Chairman Scott Mixon, along with CEO
Charles Darcy (seated to his right), asked the commission Monday night for $500,000 in
emergency aid to help the hospital continue operations through March. Numerous board
members and employees were present at the meeting. Among those shown above include: CFO
Terri Parsons along with board members Dr. Michael Walby, Joe Collins and Flora Woodfaulk.

Three inmates serving life
sentences "attempted ~ to escape
from Taylor Correctional
Institution (TCI) Saturday
afternoon--but the trio didn't make
it past the first barricade of razor
wire blocking their path before
being captured by officers.
.The attempt began when the
men assaulted a librarian and tried
to gain access to the roof of the
control building located near the
front gate of the facility.-
The librarian, identified as Jerry
Wells of Perry, was badly beaten
and sustained non-life threatening


injuries to his face from being
"punched 'and kicked by the
inmates, Department of
Corrections (DOC) Director of
Public Affairs Gretel Plessinger
said.
Wells was transported to
Doctors' Memorial Hospital by
ambulance and then flown by
AirMedic One to Tallahassee
Memorial Hospital; he was
released Sunday.
The three inmates were armed
with homemade weapons (knives),
but did not injure anyone else
during the attempt, Plessinger said.


Inmate serving life


for killing toddler

Alcides Medina (uiles, 44, one of three inmates who attempted to
escape from Taylor Correctional Institution (TCI) Saturday, was serving a
life sentencefor killing a toddler in Miami-Dade County in October 1990.
According to reports published in the Miami Herald, at the time of his
arrest, Quiles was an escaped convict from Connecticut where he was
serving an 18-year sentence for sexual battery.
The toddler's body was found under the single bed in Quiles' efficiency
apartment, which was located just around the corer from the girl's
Allapattah home. She was just fours days away from celebrating her
second birthday.
Quiles was charged with first degree murder, kidnapping and sexual
battery by an adult on a victim under the age of 12. He was sentenced to
"-* Please see page 3


Other inmates in the library at
the time of the assault alerted -
officers to the situation.
"This was a serious incident, but
they (the inmates) were far from
escape. Once they got on top of the
control building, they still faced
rolls and rolls of razor wire and
they were never able to make it
past the first roll of razor wire, or
the sensors or anything like that,"
Plessinger said.
One of the inmates did gain
access to the roof but then couldn't
get over the razor wire.
"Officers caught them as they
were trying to get on the roof. At
that time one of the officers told
the men to get down--two of them
complied and the other inmate did
not. We had to send a correctional
officer up to get him," Plessinger
continued.
The inmates received minor
scratches and bruises during the
escape attempt and have been
transferred to Florida State Prison
in Starke County.
Inspector generals with the DOC
are conducting an investigation
into the incident and will turn over
their findings to the state attorney's
office.
"We will prosecute," State
Attorney Division Chief Todd
Hingson said Monday.
The escape attempt occurred as.
visitation at the prison was ending.

Hingson announces run for state attorney


Todd Hingson, an assistant state
attorney and a 5th generation
North Floridian, is the first to
officially announce that he will be
a candidate to replace retiring State
Attorney Jerry Blair in August.
"I am excited to make it
official," Hingson said. "I will be a
candidate for state attorney, and I
am running to win!"
The state attorney is the elected
chief criminal prosecutor, and
Hingson is running in a seven-
county judicial circuit, the Third
Judicial Circuit, which includes
Columbia, Dixie, Hamilton,
Lafayette, Madison, Suwannee and
Taylor counties.
Hingson grew up ort a family
farm in Luraville, a small farming
community located between Live
Oak and Mayo. He is a graduate of
Suwannee High School.
Shortly after graduation,
Hingson was elected state


president of the FFA (Future
.Farmers of America), and the
following year he was elected to
serve the nearly half a million
members of the FFA as national
vice president. His FFA service
took him to 40 of the 50 states,
Japan and China promoting
agriculture and honing his
leadership and speaking skills.
After his FFA service, Hingson
enrolled in the University of
Florida where he obtained a
bachelor of science degree with
honors in agricultural economics.
At UF, Hingson was inducted into
the university's leadership
honorary, Florida Blue Key, and
was an active member of the Alpha
Gamma Rho (AGR) agricultural
fraternity.
Hingson attended law school at
the Mississippi College School of
Law in Jackson, Miss., where he
earned an academic scholarship


and graduated in the top 10 percent
of his law school class. In law
school, Hingson was elected chief
justice of the honor court and was
on the law school's Moot Court
board.
Hingson worked his first two
years as a prosecutor for State
Attorney Bill Cervone in the 8th
Judicial Circuit where he handled
juvenile, misdemeanor and felony
cases, and did stints in the Alachua,
Levy and Gilchrist offices. In
2002, Hingson was able to move
home when Blair hired him as an
assistant state attorney in the Third
Judicial Circuit. Hingson's first
assignment as a prosecutor in the
third circuit was as the Dixie
County division chief in 2002 and
2003.
In 2004, Hingson was promoted
to the Columbia County office to
serve as a felony division chief.
His duties included supervising


felony prosecutors, as well as
handling special prosecution'cases
such as homicide and child sex

Bethea. aaled for. a complete
r"ehau'tu fhtc-Dctors 'Memorial
Hospital Board of Directors
Monday night after hospital
officials requested an emergency
bail-out of $500,000.
Citing financial concerns
spanning the past three years, as
well as objections to having
DMH employees on the board of
directors, Bethea said he could
not "in good conscience" turn
over the funds to do "the same
old thing."


'Tomy fellow
commissioners, I
cannot in good
conscience give half
a million dollars of
taxpayers' money to
do the same old
thing. The board
structure needs to
change.'

The commission will hold a
public hearing Tuesday, Jan. 22,
to consider the request.
Bethea paused frequently
during his' remarks, apologizing
several times to the board
members present for his
comments.
"I'm probably about as
nervous asI've been since I've
been on this commission," he
began.
"It was apparent to me three
years ago whenever we did one
our first reviews of the hospital
that -depreciation dollars were
being used for operations. In any
given business you have to fund
depreciation if you are going to
continue.
"At that same meeting,
somebody said that our
technology turns over every five
years. If your technology turns
over every five years and you're
not funding depreciation, then
what is the outcome from that?
It's a spiral.
"That spiral started years ago.
I'm disappointed that ive're here
today. I cannot tell you whether
it could have been avoided, I'm
not that clairvoyant. I knew then
that the hospital was in trouble

City charter change
City residents will also be asked to
consider a charter change which
would shift city elections to
coincide with state and federal
elections.
Holding its elections when the rest
of the state's voters go to the polls
should improve voter turnout and is
expected to save as much as $10,000
in extra costs. By placing this change
on the ballot, the city council has
also fulfilled a long-standing
request from the Supervisor of
Elections.
We see no hidden agenda in this
proposed change to the City of Perry
Charter and consider it little more
than housekeeping. We approve the
city's intention to align its election
dates with already established state
elections, and we think the move
could save our city government a
little money.

I helped appoint one of them. I
nominated one of them, so I'm
sorry for that."
He also objected to the DMH
board's 'ability to interview
applicants to submit to the
commission for consideration,
saying it promoted "group think."
"I think we've got some
fundamental problems that inhibit
the way we do business," Bethea
continued. "I cannot go out there

The caricature of graphics accentuate points of interest in the community, such as churches,
schools, public buildings, landmarks, historical sights and buildings as well as businesses.
"Because of community pride and the Year 2008 depiction, we feel it is very important that all

Perry Newspapers, Inc., to insert the commemorative rendering in each subscriber's newspaper."
This will insure the most positive distribution available. Additional renderings will be available from

Bad debt tops $3.2 million for hospital


"DMH =
'Cti inued from page 1
' here at Doctors' Memorial," he
continued.
SThe hospital's unfunded care is
projected to reach $7.3 million in
Charges in the current fiscal year
S($4.1 million in charity care and
$3.2 million in bad debt).
"Every year it increases, year on
and year on," Darcy said. "Those
;are our charges. Our actual bad
debt would be... right around $3.93
million. That's $4 million in cash
th.i Doctors' Memorial doesn't see.
The drop in cash flow is also
Affecting the hospital's accounts
Payable.
::'".We were able to pay some


things down in November," Darcy
said. "That being said though, we
have to select which vendor we
pay or not pay.
"We are .constantly talking to
vendors about maybe being put on
hold or not getting supplies that are
needed because we are slow or not
paying because our cash flow is
poor," he said.
Darcy also outlined measures
the hospital is taking to cut costs.
Hours for employees have been
cut 10 percent across the board,
along with eliminating overtime
and putting a freeze on salary
increases.
Departments will also be strictly
audited on their hours and some
departments may be outsourced.


Even office equipment is being
consolidated to save money on
printers and forms.
Darcy said they were working
with area hospitals to see about
sharing personnel and referring
each other patients.
According to his numbers,
Darcy said these measures are
expected to save approximately
$93,000 a month.
More long-term solutions Darcy
outlined included physician
recruitment, upgrading equipment,
the creation of a DMH Foundation,
up front ER and OR collections
for non-emergency patients,
contracting with a new ER
physicians group and a
medical office building near- the


hospital.
Also discussed was alternate
revenue sources for indigent care,
such as a hospital authority or a
sales tax.
"The concerns I have with these
items are they are very long-term
items to execute. If you look at
these back-to-back losses we're
experiencing, we don't have a lot
of time.
"To right the ship, these are the
long-term measures we need, but
we need some immediate and
short-term help."
Commissioners reiterated their
support of the hospital and most
appeared receptive to his request of
the initial request for $500,000.
Commissioner Malcolm Page,


O officers responded 'quickly and appropriately'


'ATTEMPTEDlESCAPE
on tinted from page 1
', Ie had some visitors on the
compound, but they were not in
danger. We secured the visitors and
:Hescortedthem to their vehicles.
,fficer&i:and :deputies searched
v. isitors'cars to make sure we had
i'thieiones. who had tried to escape
na tdithat no one had made it past
Sthe-fence. Searches such as this are


part of our standard procedures.
We also sent officers to the fence
line and checked the outside'
perimeter to make sure that the
fence had not been breached,
which it, had not been. They (the
inmates) were a long way from the
outside," Plessinger said.
"We are thankful that there were
inmates who alerted .us quickly to
the situation. This allowed us to
respond faster. It appears the


staff responded quickly and
appropriately to the situation," she&
concluded.
The inmates were identified as:
Edwardo DeJuan, 56; Rolando
Perez, 33; and Alcides Quiles, 44.
DeJuan is serving a life sentence
for first degree murder. He was
first committed to the state in
November 2005 and transferred to'
TCI that same year.
Perez is also serving a life


sentence for first degree murder,
burglary and robbery with a deadly
weapon. He began serving his
sentence in December 1996 and
was transferred to TCI in April
20054.
Quiles is serving a life sentence
for first degree murder, kidnapping
and sexual battery. He was first
committed in November 1995
and arrived at TCI in December
2006.


however, said he "disappointed"
that the hospital was only able to
cut $93,000 in expenses. He, along
with Commissioner Rudolph
Parker, suggested the county hire
an outside consultant to look over
the hospital's finances to determine
any other measures that could be
taken.
Commissioner Pat Patterson was
the most vocal in her support of the
hospital.
"I don't want DMH to fail," she
said. "We need the hospital. I want
the people of Taylor County to
know. We don't need to go to


Tallahassee all the time. We don't
need to go to Gainesville all the
time. The physicians here need to
support our hospital. They don't
need to be shipping people out."
Commission Chairman Clay
Bethea, while saying he supported
the hospital, said he could not "in
Good conscience" give $500,000 to
the current DMH board of
directors (see related story).
The public hearing on the
$500,000 request will be held at
6:10 p.m. in the Taylor County
Courthouse Annex on Tuesday,
Jan. 22.

A-6 The Taco Times January 9, 2008


The following is an example of why tax exemption
authorization for local government is critical to the
community's economic development efforts.
Without the ability to offer a tax exemption, these jobs
would have ended up in Corsicana, Texas.


New Ad Valorem Taxes* County City School District SRWMD Total
New
Taxes

2007-From Lance in Perry $38,837 $37,850 $68,286 $4,038 $149,012



2007-Lance in Texas $0 $0 $0 $0 $0



*Actual Taylor County Property Appraiser's figures.



Let's look at the big picture. The taxes from the Lance facility, formerly Tom's Foods, are
unchanged -- they continue to pay those.

Lance needed to add kettle chip manufacturing lines, either in Perry or Corsicana, Texas.
Du T.yloi County economic development incentive package, Lance committed to make
c sf pit-I n ent 6 f$7.75 million and create 52additional jobs here, not in Texas. The
actual numbers turned out to be $ 9.18 million and 60 jobs.

The incentive package included tax exemption of 50% of new general fund taxes on the $7.75
million, capped at $36,000 per year. This results in the school district and city getting 100%
of the new taxes. From a community-wide standpoint, we exempted a maximum of $360,000,
but realized over $1 million in new tax money due to those jobs being here rather in Texas.

These new quality jobs will add over $1 million annually to our local economy. Those dollars
are rolled over in a community (spent more than once locally; some economists say up to
eight times). Using a rollover factor of only two, Taylor County's one percent sales tax revenue
would be increased by over $20,000 annually. This is in addition to the new taxes in the above
chart.

How important is the hospital to our community? Does it help Doctors' Memorial Hospital
(DMH) by having 60 new potential hospital users that work for a company that pays 80% of
their employees' health care insurance, and also provides access to health insurance for the
employee's family?

This increase in tax revenue helps your child in school here; not children in Texas schools! It
helps the city provide services for our city residents; not Corsicana city residents! It assists
Doctors' Memorial Hospital in Perry; not Navarro Regional Hospital in Corsicana!

Shall we gather at the river where bright angel feet have trod,
With its crystal tideforever flowing by the throne of God?

On the margin of the river, washing up its silver spray,
We zoill walk and worship ever all the happy, golden day.

Ere we reach the shining river, lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver and provide a robe and crown.

Soon we'll gather at the river, soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy heartswill quiver with the melody of peace.

Yes, we'll gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river,
Gather with the saints at the river that flows by the throne of God.

Sunday, Nov. 18, 2007, for a purchased 17 acres on Plantation


Road, and subsequently sold a
portion of our property (the area
which now houses Pinewood
Professional Centre).
"We began fundraising in 1992
and raised more than $300,000 in
pledges toward our first phase
which included a fellowship hall


that we used as an interim worship
center, as well as classrooms,
restrooms and the shell of the
remainder of the buildings," he
said.
Construction began in August of
1995, and the first building was
dedicated on Jan. 16, 1997.
"It was also in August of 1995,


that we entered into a mortgage for
the amount of $680,000 with
payments scheduled until March of
2011. Therefore we have paid off
this mortgage almost three and a
half years early," Neal said.
But he was quick to add, "As we
enter 2008, the First Presbyterian
Church is debt-free with regard to


its financial obligations to a
mortgage holder. However, 'the
debt of love' as the old hymn calls
it, can never be repaid. The best
that we can do is to gratefully give
ourselves away in Christ's service
so that all those who come behind
us will know of God's faithfulness
to all generations."

Clerk Jim Bean, Marilyn Culpepper and Jake Bassett.
