Spinning the wheel worked out
beautifully for Angela Walker
Poppell, and her daughter
Lauralyn P. Hudgins, when both
competed on "Wheel of Fortune"
during a taping at Sea World.
Before Pat Sajak and Vanna
White signed off for the night, the
mother and daughter duo had
won $27,000.
"They went through several
qualifying phases," said Iris Dee
Walker of Perry, the mother of
Poppell and the grandmother of
Hudgins, noting that the field of
competitors narrowed at every
qualifier. "Finally they were
selected, and they did great," she
added. "I'm so proud of them,"
Poppell lives in Titusville; her
daughter lives in Tallahassee
where she works with WFSU.
The broadcast of their

With Doctors' Memorial
Hospital continuing to struggle
financially, officials are once
again considering converting
the facility to a critical access
hospital.
DMH Board Chairman Joe
Collins, along with acting CEO
Don Rock and interim CFO
Bill Brynes, addressed county
commissioners Monday night,


3 arrested

with ties

to dog

fighting
In a week that spotlights the
best aspects of the partnership
between people and dogs, the.
worst has also been seen with
the. arrest of three individuals
connected to dog fighting.
The arrest Sunday came on
the eve of the arrival of more
than 140 K-9 teams from
across the southeast for the
annual training workshop
hosted by American
Aluminum.
The Perry Police
Department received an
anonymous complaint about a
dog fight in progress in the
area of Homer J. Smith Avenue
Sunday around 6 p.m.
While responding to the
area,. Ptl. Jimmy Cash, Ptl,
Garrett Campbell and Ptl.
Heather Murphy observed a
crowd of around 15-20
subjects fleeing the area.
The dog fighting occurred
beside and adjacent to a
residence on the avenue known
as a frequent drug house
nicknamed the "Trap,"
according to Cash's report,
A stolen pit bulldog was
recovered from the same
residence earlier that morning;
the dog had injuries consistent
with an attack from another
dog, Cash stated.
Two of the suspects fleeing
the area Sunday evening were
taken into custody. Robert
Glanton Jr., 15, and Henry E.

County commissioners will
consider a request from
Doctors' Memorial Hospital
(DMH) to use excess sales tax
revenues to purchase up to $3.5
million in equipment.
DMH interim CFO Bill
Brynes made the request
Monday night, listing three
pieces of radiological
equipment, including a digital
mammogram machine, a CT
scanner and an MRI.
Commissioners agreed to


requesting they use excess sales
tax revenue to purchase new
equipment for 'the hospital (see
related story).
Collins said his board was
also looking into the possibility
of forming a partnership with
Tallahassee Memorial Hospital
(TMH).
DMH considered pursuing a
critical access designation more

March 17, during their regular
board meeting. According to
the county ordinance regarding
such requests, hospital officials
will have to present a business
plan to show how the
equipment will be profitable
for the hospital.
The new hospital building is
funded through a one-cent sales
tax approved by Taylor County

than a year ago early last year,
but was told initially the
hospital was not eligible due to
the proximity of the hospital in
Madison. It was later
discovered that DMH is
eligible, but officials did not
pursue the designation further.
Collins said Monday he has
been assured that DMH
qualifies.


A critical access hospital is
limited to 25 beds and an
annual average length of stay of
96 hours per patient for acute
inpatient care. DMH is
currently a 48-bed facility.
According to the Society
Security Act, which defines
critical access hospitals, such
facilities must provide 24-hour
emergency care services, but


are exempt from hospital
standards relating to the
number of hours per day or
days per week during which
they must be open and fully
staffed. This could reduce
personnel costs for the hospital.
Critical access hospitals also
receive a more favorable

Early Saturday in Carrabelle

Teen critical after crashing into power pole


The son of a Perry woman
remains in critical condition
after a horrific crash in
Carrabelle early Saturday
morning.
Joshua Michael Davis, 18,
the son of Ramona Fortner, was
traveling east on U.S. 98
around 1 a.m. when--for
unknown reasons--he veered
onto the south shoulder of the


roadway.
"The driver lost control of
the vehicle...traveling north,
crossing both travel lanes and
onto the north grassy shoulder.
The right front of the 1999 Ford
F-150 collided with a power
pole before colliding with a
tree. The truck went airborne
and 'the roof of the vehicle
collided with the tree before


coming to .a final rest facing

causing the vehicle to erupt into
flames," Florida Highway
Patrol (FHP) Trooper B.S.
Roddenberry reported.
Davis, who was not wearing
a seatbelt, Was ejected from the
vehicle and, according to
sources, it took emergency


rescue crews nearly two hours
to reach him due to the downed
power lines.
Assisting FHP at the scene
were the Franklin

Dear Editor:
If you're eagerly awaiting the
check from President Obama,
don't hold your breath. If or
when it comes it won't be worth
much. And do you know where
that check will come from?
From my and your taxes. Every
dollar that the government
spends must first be taken
away from the people who earn


incomes. As the government
dumps trillions of dollars of
money that we have not yet
even sent to Washington, the
value of a dollar goes down,
down, down. That means that it
will take more dollars than were
required last year to make any
purchases.
I've heard some people say
they don't pay income taxes.


Wrong! You may. not send a
check to the government to
cover your taxes, but if you buy
a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk,
a tire if you buy anything at all
the price includes the income
taxes--as well as all other.
taxes--paid by the people who
produced that item or service.
There is no free lunch.

Dear Editor:
To the residents of Taylor
County in these troublesome
and trying times. With the
closing of so many businesses,
we should look back to
decisions made over the 'past
few years.
One I am still displeased with
is the non-support of the 'coal-
power generating station'. Had
we been more open-minded,
not only would we have had
an economic boom during
construction, we would now
have several hundred more
jobs in our area, continuing
to put economic revenue
back in our restaurants, hotels
and plenty of other local
businesses.
Hopefully we can overcome
these trying times and learn
from our mistakes. Just be a
little more open to ideas should
opportunity decide to knock on
our community's door again.
Thanks for your time.
Keith Shiver


My Economic

Stimulus Plan


In my Economic Stimulus Plan, my
aunts and the ladies with whom they
enjoy coffee every Monday, would be in
charge of making sure that recipients
of federal money are both worthy and
appreciative.
If they are found to be neither,
these individuals will be severely
chastised, forced to do yard work and
then removed from the government's
bankroll.
One of my aunts is imminently
qualified for this role because she
retired from the food stamp office in
Alabama. At the time of her retirement,
she knew the name of every person
in the county receiving government
assistance, and she knew who ate at
their kitchen tables. Memorizing'Sich'
information was acutely helpful so that
when Billy Roy's mother claimed Allen
Joe in her household, my aunt could
counter with, "Why Ellie Jane said the
same thing. Which is it?"
These women will need to be back
in each others' homes on Monday for
coffee, and in church on Sunday or
,the pews may cave in. but I figure they
will work Tuesday-Friday, 'and make
a tremendous difference. Because
they are patriotic, they will be willing.
They've endured the Great Depression,
and don't take kindly to having worked
for 60 years, only to hand over their
earnings to big banks who can't cope
and young folks who won't work.
In my Economic Stimulus Plan, all
those people who come in my office and
say, "You don't have a job.do you?...I just
need you to sign here saying I asked, so
I can get my benefits," will be dropped
from the list. I can get the retired
teachers of this community to enforce
that rule, and they will be armed with
wooden rulers which used to say, "Do
unto others as you would have them do
unto 'you." I think everything went to
hell, literally, when we stopped using
those rulers.
In my Economic Stimulus Plan, which
resembles Apostle Paul's of Bible fame,
you should work if you want to eat.
So how hungry are you? Of course,
if you're unable to work, the good
church people will be compassionate
and take care of you...and we're going
to put the women of the missionary
society in charge of this initiative. With
their broad-brimmed hats and weighty
pocketbooks, they'll cook .you fried
chicken and greens. They will also cook
your goose if you try to get this food
without contributing a single thing
to society. There is plenty of work to
be done; we owe a gazillion dollars,
people.
In my Economic Stimulus Plan, I
assure you we won't be sprigging grass
on the national mall for a pricetag of
$21 million--there are enough prisoners
in the D.C. area to do that au gratis.
Nor will we be spending $8 billion on
high-speed inner-city rail. (Do you want


By SUSAN H. LINCOLN

to see how good intentions become
gaudy indulgences? This particular
high speed rail was valued at $300
million in the House bill, upped to
$2.25 billion in the Senate, and then
reached $8 billion in the final version.,.
which representatives of both passed!
Now, as I read that sentence, I wonder
if we shouldn't just fire everybody who
voted and recoup their salaries. They
couldn't have possibly read this 1,000-
page re-written bill before they .voted,
and how responsible is that?)
In my Economic Stimulus Plan, all
those investigative reporters who
were fired for being nosey (so the
executives in their corporations could
vacation in Bali) would be re-hired
bY-t'e fetteral government bdasgL
all of them combined make less than
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
Like grant writers, they will more than
justify their salaries by the fraud they
uncover. In fact, if they just investigate
everybody in the House, .the Senate
and on President Obama's cabinet, we
might recover enough back taxes and
unreported income to make up a trillion
of the debt, And that's something. It's
not enough, but it's something..
In my Economic Stimulus Plan, I'd
listen to the people who' own both
small and large businesses' and who
suggested, "Just eliminate payroll taxes
for six months; that will stimulate the
economy." This suggestion, sounding
a bit too logical, was immediately
dismissed.
In my Economic Stimulus Plan, the
couple who couldn't get public health
benefits, because they were both
affiliated with small businesses, would
now be honored by a baby shpwer. Yes,
they both have jobs, but now they have
three children. If they didn't work,
they'd be eligible for help,..but since
they do, they're not.
However, if they had been single
parents and used government money
for in vitro fertilization for eight babies,
they would surely receive help for
themselves, their octuplets, and their
six other children, two of whom have
special needs. All this makes perfect
sense, of course.
Socialism, as we explained to the
son, is taking someone's "A" grade and
giving it to a "C" student who doesn't
try or apply himself. Whereas the
son didn't have a problem with this
strategy, we do.
I'm still driving to work every day,
and pounding the keys of my computer.
Don't take my hard-earned dollars to
buy new desks for the newly-formed,
oversight committee for this stimulus
plan; yes, they have been allocated $84
million. Does anybody know how much
money $84 million is?
I just can't abide it.
I shouldn't have to abide it.
This is no way to make any country
greater.

More staff reductions expected at DMH


DMH/TMH
Continued from page 1
reimbursement schedule from
Medicare, Collins said.
Senior managers with TMH
visited DMH in late December
to conduct a survey of the
hospital's practices, and in an
assessment presented last
week, recommended DMH
pursue the designation.
"This should increase
reimbursement to the hospital,"
the report stated.
According to Rock, hospitals
arfe usually reimbursed by
Medicare on a set pay schedule
regardless of the cost the
hospital incurs. A critical
access hospital, however, is
reimbursed on a "cost plus"
basis, in which the hospital bills
Medicare.
Collins added that he had
been told the hospital could
expect as much as $2 million in
additional annual revenue by
converting.
DMH officials will meet with
a consultant next week to
further discuss the possibility,


Collins said, inviting
commissioners to join the
meeting.
"I believe working with
Tallahassee Memorial is the
way to go," Collins said
Monday.
Rock added that it's a
growing trend that
smaller hospitals are seeking
larger ones with which to
partner.
When asked Tuesday, he said
the designation was "one of the
options" the hospital was
pursuing. Additionally, he said
that even if DMH is
.granted critical access status, it
is not required to partner with
TMH.
Such a partnership, however,
could potentially lead to shared
resources, including physicians
and staff.
In the 19-page assessment,
TMH officials made a series
of recommendations for
each department of the
hospital.
"We will try to implement
them," Collins said Monday.
The recommendations


included staff reductions.
When asked Tuesday, Rock
said reported layoffs of some
20 employees last month came
before the officials had


received the final assessment,
but they were in line with the
report.
"There are more reductions
in workforce in the plans," he


added.
As for the hospital's financial
condition, he said DMH was
still struggling. Revenues were
up slightly in January and


February, but those months
are traditionally busier
months.
"We're still holding it
together," Rock said.


Five dogs seized due to neglect/cruelty


DOG FIGHTING
Continued from page 1
Bolden, 23, were both charged
with animal cruelty.
A third suspect, Cedrick
OBrian Ruffin, 22, was charged
with obstructing justice after
refusing to allow officers into
his backyard while they were
attempting to local the crime
scene where the dog fighting
took place.
"Several of the subjects were
seen fleeing from his (Ruffin's)
yard," Campbell stated in his
report.
Once Ruffin was secured in
the back of a patrol unit,
officers entered his backyard
and discovered five bulldogs
that were chained and in cages.


"The dogs were in poor
condition and you could visibly
see their ribs. The dogs did not
have adequate food or water,
and some of the dogs had
injuries," Campbell said.
While securing that scene,
Murphy advised Campbell that
there were animals engaged in
a fight in the adjacent empty
lot.
"Upon walking to the other
yard, I observed a dog biting
another dog in the head. One of
the dogs was badly injured.
After looking around the area,
we discovered that there were
collars and leashes that were on
the; ground where the animals
were."
Officers were able to
separate and restrain the dogs


until animal control arrived on
scene and took custody of the
animals.
On Tuesday, Animal Control
Officer Carrie Tucker stated
that one puppy and six adult
pitbull-mix breed dogs have
been seized in relation to the
case.
"Only two of the dogs were
take into custody relating to
dog fighting; the other five
dogs were discovered during
the investigation and they were
impounded due to evidence of
animal neglect/cruelty. One of
the animals is very
malnourished and others have
multiple puncture wounds, cuts
and scrapes. Several of the
dogs didn't have water. The one
female dog which was mauled


has been treated by a
veterinarian. All of the animals
will remain in our care until the
proper court proceedings have
been completed," Tucker said.

New equipment 'essential to hospital's survival'


NEW MRI, CT SCANNER
Continued from page 1
citizens and in the past, the
excess revenues collected have
been used to purchase new
equipment.
The last time commissioners
approved such a request was in
July 2006 for the purchase of
$128,0000 in orthopedic
equipment.
In March 2008, the
commission held a public
hearing to consider a plan
developed by Commissioner
Malcolm Page which included
using excess sales tax money to
pay off $600,000 in capital debt
and purchase new CT and MRI
equipment.
The hearing, however, was
cut short after only a few
minutes when former County
Commissioner Clay Bethea
reminded the board its policy
was to refuse requests from
not-for-profit organizations
without an audit. At the time,
the hospital's audit had been
delayed was not available.
,When the audit was
presented in April, however,


the DMH board did not return
to the commission to request
the funds. Since then, the
hospital has seen two
changeovers in management
and the appointment of an
almost entirely new board of
directors.
Although the purchase of
new equipment has been
mentioned since then, this
marks the first official request
for the sales tax funds since
March 2008.
At Monday's meeting, it was
not clear how much excess
sales tax money the county has.
Finance Director Tammy
Taylor and Clerk of Court
Annie Mae Murphy could not
be reached Tuesday.
According to Brynes, a
digital mammogram machine
could cost between $270,000
and $400,000. ,
Currently, the hospital's
mammogram machine is not
digital, so results must be sent
off to be digitized, then sent
elsewhere to be read, resulting
in delays.
A new CT scanner could cost
between $500,000 and


$1 million.
Brynes said it was a "real
problem" keeping their current
machine fixed.
Finally, a new MRI could
cost between $1 million and
$1.5 million, plus construction
costs. Some MRIs will not fit in
the room and if they did,
shielding would need to be
installed at a cost of some
$50,000 to $60,000.
Both Brynes and DMH
Board Chairman Joe Collins
said the equipment was
essential for the hospital's
survival.
"The equipment would make
us more attractive," Collins
said. "If we don't get that
equipment, I can't be that
positive."
It did not appear that
commissioners were for
approving all three requests, as
several asked Collins to
prioritize the list and name the
equipment the hospital needed
the most.
Commission Chairman
Rudolph Parker said he'd "feel
better" about the request if he
had more assurance that the


equipment would keep the officially
hospital afloat, request.
After a lengthy discussion County
between the board and DMH Brown s
officials, Commissioner requires
Malcolm Page said he was included
"willing to explore the option commissi,
further," making a motion to the total c

inventories, manage our cash
flow and focus on controlling
o0ir debt," he said.
In December, Buckeye
Chairman and CEO John
Crowe said the decision to take
downtime was because of
recent weak demand in some of
the markets for the company's
wood specialty fiber
products.
"In today's global economic


environment we are focused at
all of our operations on
meeting our customer needs by
matching production to orders,
minimizing costs and
controlling working capital,"
Crowe said.
Buckeye Senior Vice
President Doug Dowdell, who
spoke at an information-
sharing breakfast here last
week, said the company plans
to continue to reduce its debt in
2009 from the current $390
million to $350 million.

Buckeye working


to reduce its debt


$300,000
earmarked for
centralized
sewer system

Congressman Allen Boyd,
a member of the House
Appropriations Committee,
has secured $300,000 for the
coastal communities in Taylor
County to complete the
process of implementing a
centralized sewer system.
Boyd included funding for
this project in the Omnibus
Appropriations bill for Fiscal
Year 2009, which passed in
the House of Representatives
last week.
Taylor coastal utilities have
been working to remove
septic tanks from the' Gulf
coast of the county and
replace these with a central
sewer hookup. Federal
funding secured by Boyd is
expected to help complete
this process.
The bill will now be
considered by the Senate and
upon passage will be sent to
the President for his
signature.

Bulldogs' comeback

attempt falls short


After falling behind 6-0 in
three innings, the Taylor County
High baseball team battled back
Friday night in Wakulla before
falling 7-5.
The Bulldogs had the tying
runs on base after already
scoring 2 runs in the seventh
but were unable to get them
across the plate.
Charlie Johnson got the start
for Taylor County but was
pulled after the third. He gave
up 6 runs (3 earned) on 6 hits.
Wakulla's effort was helped by
four Bulldogs errors.
Nick Allbritton helped settle

things down in the fourth as
he came on to pitch the final
three innings. The senior right-
hander scattered three hits while
walking two and striking out
one.
Allbritton also led the
Bulldogs at the plate with two
hits in four trips including an
RBI. Wil Joiner drove in a run
with a double and Taylor Ratliff
scored after hitting a double.
Caleb Murphy went 1-2 on
the night after walking twice.
The Bulldogs were slated to
host district foe Florida High on
Tuesday.


The Taylor County Middle
School baseball team improved
to 5-0 on the season Thursday
with a 3-1 pitchers' duel win
over Wakulla Riversprings.
Bulldog pitcher Dylan Hardy
went the distance scattering
four hits while walking one and
striking out 6.
The TCMS offense made the
most of their three hits in the
contest.
The Bulldogs got 2 runs in
the second when Harty singled
and later scored on a grounder
by Jake Smyrnios. A.J. Parker,
who walked to lead off the
inning, scored on a hit by Justin


Folsom.
In the fifth, Joe Pelt led off
with a single and moved to
second on a sacrifice by Gavin
Lewis.
Pelt advanced to third on a
pass ball then scored on another
pass ball to put the 'Dogs up
3-1.
"Our defense played well all
day and they had to put this win
in the books," TCMS Coach
Bobby Glass said.
Taylor County was slated
to travel to Florida High
on Tuesday before a return
trip to Riversprings on
Thursday.

Churches open for weekday prayer


Prayer discussion group
meets on Thursdays
Throughout the season of Lent, the sanctuary of St. James
Episcopal Church, located at 1100 W. Green St., will be open
Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. until 12 noon for
meditation and prayer.
A discussion group on prayer began Thursday, Feb. 26, at 6:30
p.m., and will continue for six weeks. Each session will begin with
a light supper and video presentation from Phillip Yancey's book,
" Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference." Discussions, held in the
parish hall, will be led by the laity of St. James. It's still not too
late to sign up, interested persons are asked to call the church
office at 584-7636 to register. The cost of the participant guide is
$7.99; the hardcover book is available at local bookstores, but is
not required for the class.
Stations of the Cross devotions will be held at 12:15 p.m. every
Friday through Lent. This time of devotion, also led by the church
laity, is open to all who wish to attend.


Obituaries


"The objective of the devotion is to help the .faithful make, in
spirit, a pilgrimage to the chief scenes of Christ's suffering and
death," said a spokesperson for the church. "It is carried out by
passing from station to station with certain prayers and devotions
on the various incidents." These pilgrimages will be held in the
church.
The public is cordially invited, and reminded that Sunday
Eucharist services begin at 8 and 10 a.m.

Catholics announce Lenten mass schedule
During Lent, weekday masses at the Immaculate Conception
Catholic Church will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, mass begins at 9 a.m.
The community is cordially invited.

There is a Gate that
Stands Ajar
There is a gate that stands
ajar, and through its portals
gleaming
A radiance from the cross
afar, the Savior's love
revealing.
That gate ajar stands free
for all who seek through it
salvation;
The rich and poor, the great
and small, of every tribe and
nation.
Press onward, then, though
foes. may frown, while
mercy's gate is open;
Accept the cross, and win
the crown, love's
everlasting token.
0 depth of mercy, can it be
that gate was left ajar for
me?
For me, for me? Was left ajar
for me?
I miss you,
