Kendrick enlists

community for

'war on drugs'

State Rep. Will Kendrick was in
town Monday to meet with city
officials to discuss Perry's illegal
drug woes and ended up going for
a drive-through of neighborhoods
which law enforcement officers
have targeted as having "high drug
activity."
During the meeting, which was
also attended by Perry Mayor
Emily Ketring, City Manager Bob
Brown and Perry Police Chief
Wayne Putnal, Kendrick applauded
the stepped-up efforts of Perry
Police Department and Taylor
County Sheriffs Office in the "war
against drugs."

Kendrick said one of the factors
which hinders local enforcement is
the time which it takes Florida
Department of Law Enforcement
(FILE) to process evidence
gathered at crime scenes.
Currently, it takes an average of
100 days from the time the
evidence is sent to Tallahassee, for
the results to return to Perry..
Kendrick said the delay, in part,
stems from the number of. FILE
agents being sent elsewhere,
following hurricanes and other
disasters, creating a shortage of

According to reports

Drug arrests are

made 'daily' here

Taylor County law.enforcement
officers are making drug arrests
almost daily, judging from reports
filed with Perry Police Department
(PPD) and Taylor County Sheriffs
Office (TCSO).
. The most recent arrests are
detailed below:
It was reported that on Saturday,
Feb. 26, PPD Ptl. Wesley Cooper
saw Willie A. Williams, driving
south on Hwy. 19. Cooper said he
-knee. %Williams did not have a
current drivers license so he
initiated a traffic stop.
When asked about his license,
Williams admitted to not owning a
valid license. Williams was
arrested and placed in Cooper's
cruiser, where he admitted to
having a bag of marijuana under
the driver's seat of his car.
The passenger, Michael L.
Sparrow, 25, got out of the car and

confirmed that the illegal drug was
indeed in the car. Cooper began a
search of the vehicle and found the
marijuana, but also found a bottle
containing crack cocaine in the
glove compartment, as was an
additional bag of marijuana and a
bag of powdered cocaine.
Both men were arrested and
charged with possession of cocaine
within 1,000 feet of a church and
possession of less than 20 grams of
cannabis. Williams also .received
an additional charge of driving
with suspended or revoked driver's
license.
TCSO Dep. Brian Cruse
reported that recently, Florida
Highway Patrol Trp. Brian Lundy
asked if he could help transport
one of three suspects he had
stopped at the intersection of Boyd

Hoover to head

emergency mgt.

Brianne Hoover has been named Taylor County's new Emergency
Management director.
Hoover has served in that role on an interim basis since last June, when
then director Roy Woods resigned. At the time, she was the county's animal
control supervisor, a position in which she continued during the past
year.
According to Hoover, animal control personnel will continue to report to
her as part of her duties as emergency management director.
Hoover has lived in Taylor County for the past two years, but she and
her husband, Jerry Hoover, who is a Coast Guard rescue swimmer, have
owned land here for 11 years.
Before moving to Taylor County, she lived in North Carolina, where she
was a firefighter.
"Our mission in emergency management is to prepare all year round for
any event that could possibly happen," she said.
"I'm enjoying .the position. I started with Hurricane Dennis and worked
out a good relationship with the people at the state. At this point I couldn't
imagine doing anything else."
She credited the cooperation her office receives from the Taylor County
Sheriffs Office, Perry Police Department and the Taylor County School
District with the county's preparedness.

everyone came out to see us."
The Open House was the second
of two events staged in Taylor
County. A similar meeting was
held in Steinhatchee Feb. 16 .
"While 'the. a turnout in
Steinhatchee was a little smaller

than the one in Perry, we felt it was
productive and we got to meet
some of our neighbors in that area.
It was a positive experience," Burel
said.
A timeline presented at
Thursday's reception show a
projected date of May 2012 for the
plant to be "in service."
Capital costs for the plant will

by May 2012
top $1.5 billion. Some 1,5000 jobs
are projected during peak
construction.and 180 full-time jobs
are planned once the plant is fully
operational.
Opponents to the plant staged a
small demonstration across the
street from the Woman's Club
while the Open House was in

"FILE is attempting tq fill empty

said. "Hopefully, when this is done,
it will help shorten the time from
when a crime' takes place, to when
it goes before a judge."
Additional funding for overtime
pay to law enforcement. officers
and additional manpower were
noted as additional weapons to
fight drug use.
Kendrick also applauded the
"brave citizens," of a Calhoun and
Julia street neighborhood, who
used their Neighborhood
Crime Watch to help law
enforcement officers bring down-a
drug dealer who was in their
midst.
Ketring said more people need to
be active in their neighborhoods.
"When you help initiate a
neighborhood watch group," she
said, "nobody is asking you to
spend every waking minute spying
out the window or door.
"We ask that you meet once
quarterly, four times a year (or
more if you so choose), and discuss

what you've seen or noticed and
decide what action you should
take," she added.
PPD Ptl. Lin Gray, whi 'is
neighborhood watch coordinator,
agrees. .. '-.
"Nobody knows what goes on in
a neighborhood, like a resident of
that neighborhood," said Gray.
"We encourage and ;urge
residents to join together and meet
periodically and discuss 'what the\
see concerning suspicious activist
and pass it along to us. ;. ;:.*
"The program is working," he
added. "We made two arrests a
couple of weeks ago because of
one neighborhood watch group.

"We want to get the. word out.
Don't just stand in your yard or sit
on your porch talking about how
bad the drug dealers are in your
neighborhood," Gray said.
"The police department cannot
do this alone. We need your
information because we realize
that everyone wants a safe
neighborhood for their children
and themselves," he added. "Call
me and let's join forces to clean
Perry up."
. If you would like information on
forming a neighborhood watch
group, please contact Gray at the

Servant of God, Well Done
"Servant of God, well done!
Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy Master's joy.
The voice at midnight came,
He started up to hear;
A mortal arrow pierced his frame; .
He fell, but felt no fear.
His sword was in his hand, Still .
warm with recent fight,
Ready that moment, at command, Through rock and steel
to smite.
Bent on such glorious toils, The world to him was loss,
Yet all his trophies, all his spoils, He hung upon the cross.
At midnight came the cry, "To meet thy God prepare!"
He woke and caught his Captain's eye, Then strong in faith
and prayer,
His spirit with a bound, Left its encumbering clay;
His tent at sunrise on the ground, A darkened ruin lay.
The pains of death are past, Labor and sorrow cease;
And life's long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace
Soldier of Christ, well done! Praise be thy new employ;
And while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Savior's joy.
Love, Grandma Mama Leola

John W. Welborn 4
Dynamic, anointed, powerful
and passionate are some of the ...
terms used to describe the
preaching of John Welborn. He
began public preaching at the age
of 15 when he surrendered to
God's call. It has been evident
from the start that he is absolutely
focused on sharing the good news
of the Gospel to all whom he comes
in contact with. Over the past 5
years John has been traveling all
over the southeastern United States preaching revivals. God
has given him a unique ability to effectively communicate
the Word of God to teenagers and adults in a variety of
different settings. He desperately wants to see people saved
and become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

Road and U.S. Hwy. 19.
Cruse said before he placed
Kirenda Latoyua Johnson, 23, into
his cruiser, he made a routine
check for any contraband in his
car.
"Prior to placing Johnson into
my car, I asked her if she had
anything on her that was illegal or
any weapons and she stated that
she did not,'" Cruse said.
After Johnson was taken to the
county jail, Cruse checked his car
once more and found a bag of
marijuana tucked behind the seat
cushion.
"I asked the correctional officer
on duty to search Johnson as we
brought her into the jail," said
Cruse. '
"Correctional Off. Hightower

met us at the door and escorted
Johnson to a strip search room and
began searching her. Hightower
told me that while searching
Johnson, she found a clear Tic-Tac
container with three slabs of
suspected crack cocaine.
'"Johnson asked her if she was
going to turn the cocaine over to
law enforcement and Hightower
told her she was," Cruse added.
"Johnson quickly grabbed the
Tic-Tac container, retrieved the
cocaine and swallowed it, in an
attempt to destroy it."
Cruse said Hightower took the
empty container and turned it over
to him. Trp. Lundy tested the
residue inside the container and it
field-tested positive for cocaine.

'Sweet

dreams'

come to

life

After hundreds of sell-out
performances on the North
American tour and an award-
winning run in Branson, Mo., one
of the hottest stage shows in
America rolls into town Thursday,
March 2, when the North Florida
Community College Artist Series
presents the musical theatre

sensation, "A Closer Walk with
Patsy Cline," at Van H. Priest
Auditorium in Madison, starting at
-7 p.m.
- Tickets are available now by
calling (850) 973-1653.
The show traces, the late star's
'footsteps from her early honky-
tonk days and radio fame through
1.her rise at the Grand Ole Opry and

triumphs at Carnegie Hall and Las
Vegas.
Written and conceived by Dean
Regan, the musical reveals the
emotional depth and range of a
singer who defined the term
"crossover hit" by dominating
country, blues, pop and gospel
charts simultaneously in the 1950's

and early 1960's. The show won
the Best New Show Award when it
premiered in Branson in 1995 and
enjoyed universal praise during its
inaugural 36-city North American
tour.
"'A Closer Walk with Patsy
Clin ." features a powerhouse
'singer and actress who sings 21 of
Pats.\'s greatest hits including

"Walkin' After Midnight," "Sweet
Dreams," "I Fall to Pieces,"
"Crazy," "She's Got You," and the
title song, "Just a Closer Walk with
Thee." Backed up by a band of
singers and musicians, Patsy
interacts throughout the show with
Little Big Man, a disc jockey from
her hometown in Winchester, Va.,
as well as a host of outrageous
stand-up comics that serve as
warm-up acts for her concerts and
radio shows.
The audience will also be
treated to a "stunning array of
elaborate show costumes"--from
Patsy's signature blue and white
fringed Opry outfit to the
glimmering sequined gown worn
for her Carnegie Hall appearance.
The show is produced by
Springer Theatre on Tour and the
Springer Opera House, the official
State Theatre of Georgia, located in
historic downtown Columbus.
"A Closer Walk with Patsy
Cline" is one of the warmest,
happiest shows any theatre is ever
likely to present," 'Springer artistic
director Paul R. Pierce said.
"I've seen people swear up and
down that they don't like country
music and then head straight for the

record store after they've seen
Patsy. Even hard-boiled jazz
aficionados are surprised when
they hear those flat fifths and
diminished chords, in many of
Patsy's songs. There are still a lot

of folks out there who have no idea
what an all-round musical stylist
Patsy really was. Far from being a
twangy hillbilly singer, Patsy's
voice and interpretive abilities are
easily comparable to Judy

Garland's. Small wonder that this
show has created so many new
Patsy fans--especially among
young people 'who are just
discovering the soul and spirit of
this great American artist."

Fans are invited to "take a closer walk with"Patsy Cline" Thursday, March 2.

Speaker takes Rotarians on Venezuelan tour

By MARK VIOLA
tf fiWdtaz/ciatl
" The guest speaker at the Feb. 14
Perry Rotary Club meeting was Dr.
Tulio Subaran who spoke about his
native of countrN of Venezuela.
'Dr. Subaran moved from
Venezuela to Houston, Texas, in

the 1970s to attend medical school
before moving back home, where
he ran a private practice. He moved
to Perry in October 2004. ,
Venezuela is on the northern
coast of South America, bordering
Brazil, Guyana and Colombia.
"We are kind ,and friendly,"

Dr. Tulio Subaran (left) poses with Rotarian Victor Patel.
Subaran was the guest speaker recently at the Perry Rotary
Club where he gave members insights into his native country
of Venezuela.

Subaran said of his fellow
Venezuelans.
Oil is a major source of income
in Venezuela, accounting for 40
percent of, the economy.' Twenty
years ago, it was 70 percent.
The 'government recently
nationalized oil' production in the
country and is now in control of the
operations and profits. According
to Subaran,-the process has now.
become "politicized."
His hometown, which is the
second largest city in the country,
sports ,a moderate 72-degree
temperature throughout much of
the year. Nearby beaches come in a
variety of colors, including green
and red (clay). Waters are very
clear and it is not unusual to be
able to see some three meters deep,
Subaran said.
Venezuela does suffer a high
level of poverty and Subaran said
more industrialization is needed.
He blamed the current political
climate in Venezuela, in which the
government is keeping most of the
profits from the oil industry rather
than spending it to spur more
development.
In comparing the health care
systems of the United States and
Venezuela, Subaran said' overall
the medical system is better here
with more opportunities for 4he
poor to receive help. Hospitals as
well are generally better in the U.S.
Doctors in the countries have
comparable medical knowledge
and undergraduate college courses

in Venezuela are excellent, Subaran better in the U.S. and most doctors the better hospitals here can

-- Resident calls for better fire

protection for beaches area

Dear Commissioners:
The recent loss of a home on
Dark Island reminded me again of
how vulnerable the homes and
businesses at the beaches are to the
destruction from fire. The loss at
Dark Island occurred almost five
years from'a similar fire and loss of
a home in Keaton Beach.
This loss brings up the issue of
why you, our commissioners, have
failed to provide adequate fire and
emergency services to the beach
communities. What will it take to
get you to act on this critical
problem? In both cases, adjacent
property owners were extremely
fortunate not to lose their homes.
In both fires, had the wind been in
a different direction or worse,
much stronger, several other
owners would have had their

homes also burned to the ground.
At the very best, fire and medical
services are at least 20 minutes
from the beach communities. This
is unacceptable. The property
owners at the beaches are a
significant contributor to the
county tax base. Yet we get little or
no attention to this critical need.
We deserve better! We demand
better!
There are a number of residents
at the beaches with medical
conditions that could be life
threatening -in an emergency.
During holiday weekends and
summer months, hundreds of
people engage in boating and other
activities that are high risk. Yet the
nearest emergency medical service
is at best, 20. minutes from the
beach communities. This is not

only unacceptable, it is deplorable!
Over the past several years the
County has found funds to build a
boat ramp, a veterans memorial, a
sports complex and to restore
Hampton Springs, yet during the
same period, you have made only
"token" efforts to address the need
for fire and emergency services at
the beaches. When this need has
been brought to your attention in
the past, you "talked the talk" but
you have yet to "walk the walk." It
is time that you as our elected
representatives act on this vital and
critical need.
To continue to ignore the risk to
loss of life and property at the
beaches is nothing short of "willful
neglect."
Sincerely yours,
Floyd E. Ford

Step-by-step program for community support

Editor's note: The Taylor County
Development Authority (TCDA) is
leading an effort this year to create a
strategic economic development plan
for Taylor County..As a first step, the
TCDA has been given permission to
reprint this Community Economic
Development "Plan of Action." This is
the final segment of a six-part series.
Policom has developed a step-
by-step program to enlist
community support for and the

creation of an economic
development plan of action.
The program includes the
following basic steps:
1. Educate the community on
how a local economy functions, the
flow of money into and out of an
area, and which industries cause
this to happen.
2. Educate the community on the
economic characteristics of strong
and weak economies sp the

community can see why some
areas are strong, and others weak.
3. Explain to the community the
economic condition of the area and
how it compares to the rest of the
nation.
4. Create an "economic goal" for
the future, which when achieved,
will increase the size and quality of
the local economy.

Letters to the Editor

Does theory of evolution-lead to atheism?

Pear Editor;
I am, writing in response to the
group of concerned Christians who
voiced their desires. that
creationism be taught in Taylor
County public schools. As an
evangelical Christian myself, and
as one who is studying Christian
Apologetics at the graduate level, I
am fervently interested and
~cautiously sympathetic to the
proposition set forth by the
concerned group. Moreover, I truly
appreciate the fact that there are
Christians in our community who
take their faith seriously enough to
be concerned and motivated to
affect change.
: The letter by the concerned
group which appeared in -the Feb.
22, 2006, newspaper unfortunately
contained numerous factual and
logical errors which I would like to
highlight in an effort to
productively advance the
discussion. 'First, the group
asserted that, "there are schools in
America who are now taking a
stand to bring the teaching of
creation back into' our schools."
This statement requires vital
clarification if there is any real
hope of successfully introducing
alternative theories of origins.

'aco

Legally, the teaching of
creationism has explicitly and
repeatedly been deemed
unconstitutional in the courts of
law as a violation of the
"establishment clause."
The movement today to

introduce alternative theories of
biological origins is generally
centered on an emerging discipline
known as the theory of Intelligent
Design (ID). ID proponents argue

New federal registry program?

Dear Editor:
Do you or a member of your
family have any food-producing
animal or other livestock that you
keep at home? "Food-producing"
means chickens, ducks, geese and
goats, among other animals.
"Livestock" means cows, horses
and donkeys.
Have you registered your
"premises" (any location where
animals are kept) with the federal
government? Have you registered
your "premises" with the state
government?
By April 2006 (that's less than 90
days from now), 25 percent of all
"premises" are to be registered
with 'the government. By 'July, an
Interstate Certificate of Veterinary
Inspection system is to be in place
in every state. By January 2008, all
premises and all animals are to be
registered. By July, 2008, the

movement of all animals will be
tracked. In January, the program
becomes mandatory.
The program i.s not limited to
commercial producers; it includes
the half-dozen chickens at
grandma's house. Her "premises"
and each chicken must be
registered with the government as
the program now stands. In fact,
the pet parakeet in acage on the
20th floor of a condo in Miami
Beach must also be registered,
along with the premises. As the
program now stands there are no
exceptions.
That means that every person
who owns even one horse, cow,
pig, chicken, sheep, pigeon or
virtually any livestock animal, will
be forced to register their home,
including owner's name, address
and telephone number and keyed
to Global Positioning System
coordinates (for satellite-assisted
location of homes and farms), in a
federal database under a 7-digit
"premises ID number."
Every animal will have to be
assigned a 15-digit ID number also

Winner thanks

senior center
Dear Editor:
My husband purchased tickets
for me in the Valentine Basket
drawing sponsored byi the Taylor
Senior Citizens Services. I was one
of the lucky winners. I would like
to thank the merchants that
donated gifts and certificates for
this drawing. All the gifts were
very nice and thoughtful. Our
community is blessed to have
these merchants. They are called
upon often for donations and are
willing to contribute.
The Taylor Senior Services
provide several events and
programs that can be enjoyed by
many people in our county. Let's
support our merchants and the
Taylor Senior Services in whatever
way possible.
Thanks,
Jo Ann Sadler

When Grandmother Lincoln knows we're
coming, she travels to the nearest grocery
store to purchase several gallons of milk,
several loaves of bread, several gallons of
orange juice, several dozens of eggs, several.
pounds of bacon, cases of colas, jars of
peanut butter, boxes of snacks and
packages of sandwich meat, as well as a
roast, a ham and some vegetables.
On this February weekend, Grandmother
Lincoln didn't know we were coming.
Saturday was her 80th birthday and, since
Christmas, we had been planning a surprise
party to honor the occasion.
The deception was artful.
"I'm sorry we can't be there for your
birthday this year," the husband said to her
by phone Friday. "The boy's first home
baseball game is tonight."
"Well, I understand," she said quietly.
"I'm sorry we can't be there for your
birthday this year," said the husband's
youngest brother to his mother by phone
Friday. "I've got to work this weekend."
"Well, I understand," she said quietly.
"We're busy on Saturday," said the oldest
of the three boys, now men. "But we're
coming down Sunday to have lunch with
you, if that's okay."
"Well, sure," she said.
So the grandmother called the husband
(her middle son) back. "Can you believe
your sorry brother just called to see if I
could cook a pot roast Sunday and they'd
come down for my birthday? Didn't even
offer to bring lunch."
So the middle son called his elder
offender. "Mama is so mad at you--insisting
that she cook a pot roast the day after her
birthday."
"This is perfect," said the older brother.
"She doesn't have a clue."
And she didn't. A friend, under the guise
of taking her out on her birthday (since
none of her sorry children would), picked
her up at noon and brought her to the place
where balloons and begonias decorated
tables,_ and 50 people stood up to say,
"Surrrrpriiiise."
"I can't believe this," she said.
And we believed her.
. When the dust had settled and the party
was over, the grandmother was left with two
couples who returned to her house to visit,
and 11 overnight guests for the evening.
And a half gallon of milk.
She lives on a lake--a considerable
distance from a grocery store, and in
proximity to no fast food restaurants.
We had barbecue sandwiches for the
birthday luncheon, with cole slaw, baked
beans and potato salad.
"What are we having for supper?" asked
the oldest of the four grandsons.
"Barbecue sandwiches," his father, the
eldest son, replied.
"And for breakfast?" the grandson then
asked, fearing the worst.

Midweek Muddle

rrrpriiiise!

By SUSAN H. LINCOLN

His fears came true. "Barbecue
sandwiches," his father said again.
The other three grandsons were
speechless ard then they asked: "Can we
have a barbecue sandwich?"
Just hours after cleaning up the first meal,
of barbecue for 50, we were in the kitchen
again, slinging hash.
We had enough leftovers to easily feed
this .crowd of 12 people, sending.
sandwiches with those who would be
traveling long distances.
The husband grabbed the half-gallon of
milk, arid it was like the Good Old Days.
Both his brothers jumped on hiiia, as ifhe
had tried to steal the family jewels. "Don't
drink the milk," they said. "We only have a
half gallon."
So they start pushing in the kitchen--the
50-year-old boys, while the teenage
grandsons watched in amusement,
wondering when old people ever grow up.
"Stop shoving in my kitchen," said the
grandmother, who grabbed a spatula as a
reflex action, from decades ago.
Suddenly, I missed my only-child life.
Having. all-risen with the sun that
morning, we were soon knee-deep in fitted
and flat sheets, dragging mattresses out for
the younger boys, putting sheets on the
guest room beds, signing up for time in the.
two bathrooms.
By 11 p.m,, we had sorted it all out and
imposed a mandatory curfew.
But 7 a.m. was just around the corner, and
upon request, the eldest s6n cooked bacon
he found in the freezer along with pancakes
from the batter ingredients he rustled up.
"I don't need one," I said, having had a
bowl of cereal.
"Good," he said, because the. battle was
underway. He was rationing bacon,
slapping the hands of those who tried to
sneak a piece. a
"Can I have my mama's pancake if she
doesn't want it?" the son asked.
"Nope," said the uncle. "You've already
had one--and a bowl of cereal. But there is
one piece of bacon 'left on the stove, if
you're quick," he added.
The boy went running that way but soon
returned, dejected.
"Somebody got it," he said, and the fathers
looked at each other and agreed, "Survival
of the fittest."
When I had distributed small glasses of
juice and collected empty dishes, the
dishwasher was loaded again and the
counter wiped off.
In, the blink of an eye, one of the
grandchildren sauntered through the
kitchen and asked, "What's for lunch?"
The uncle looked around and asked for
everyone's attention, "What do you think is
for lunch today?"
And all the children answered, without
enthusiasm, "Barbecue."
Surrrrpriiiise!

EVOLUTION
Continued from page 2

purely from the scientific evidence
that there are aspects of the natural
world that are'too complex to be
explained by unguided naturalistic
processes. Furthermore, the
complexity found in the natural
world, from the cosmological
level down to the molecular level
within the cell bears all the
earmarks of intelligent causation
and can be reliably detected as such
while making no comment on the
nature of the designer.
The concerned group also asked
that if evolution is taught
"shouldn't the teaching of creation
also be permitted? I would re-
phrase the question to show how
many prominent evolutionists
believe Darwinian evolution
inexorably leads,to atheism. For
example, William Provine,
Cornell University evolutionary
biologist, and Charles A.
Alexander, professor of biological
sciences, declared that "evolution
is the greatest engine atheism ever
invented."
Additionally, if evolution is
true, Provine draws five
inescapable conclusions: 1) No
god worth having exists. 2) No
life after death exists. 3) No
ultimate foundation for ethics
exists. 4) No ultimate meaning in
life exists. 5) Human free will is
non-existent. These conclusions
are precisely why so many
Christians are profoundly disturbed
by the theological implications of
Darwinian evolution.
Another question asked by the
concerned group "Shouldn't our
