For sewer system

Steinhatchee

steps up efforts

Three-car crash-
Police are still investigating a three-vehicle wreck which occurred Thursday afternoon at the intersection of U.S. 19 and
Jefferson Street. Several witnesses have reported seeing a fourth vehicle which might also be involved, according to the Perry
Police Department. .Personnel from the department; along with the City of Perry Fire Department and Doctors' Memorial
Hospital Emergency Medical Services, responded to the scene. Two of the drivers were transported to DMH for injuries suffered
in the crash. Traffic was snarled for sometime and vehicles which were unable to travel west on Jefferson through the
intersection were forced to turn north onto U.S. 19.

Steinhatchee is moving ever
closer to having its own sewer
system, but who will be in control
of it continues to stir debate both
here and in Dixie County.
Rex Dunn with the Steinhatchee
Water Association (SWA)
addressed the Taylor County
Commission last week, giving.
members, an update on the group's
continuing efforts.
Talks between the Taylor and
Dixie commissions began in
earnest following a joint meeting
in February. At that meeting, Frank
Darabi with the environmental
consultants group, Darabi and
Associates, presented a feasibility
study funded- by the Suwannee
River Water Management District
for a proposed centralized
wastewater system for
Steinhatchee and Jena.
Darabi suggested that a utility
authority be formed using SWA's
resources to serve both sides of the
river.
Commissioner Clay Bethea and
Dixie County Commissioner
James Valentine agreed to meet to
discuss, hot- such an authority
would be organized. Talks'

progressed far enough that the two
counties' attorneys had drafted an
agreement.

'A++' plan targets better grades, FCAT scores

High schoolers will
be required to earn
16 academic and
eight elective credits
The Taylor County School
District has adopted a state
mandated blueprint for improving,
grades and FCAT. scores utilizing
the "No Child Left Behind A++
plan."
Director 'of Instruction Warida
Kemp gave a presentation on th6
program to the Taylor County

School Board during its recent
nieeing..
According to Kemp, Perry
Primary and Taylor' County
Elementary schools are currently in
"corrective action": taking
advantage of options made by
the Department of Education
for changing administrators;
developing a math progress
monitoring s stem; implementing
a part-time m-th coach at PPS;
providing professional writing
development for K-5; and having.
principals restructure the internal
organization of schools.

The A++ high school reform will
require, beginning with the 2007-
08 school, ihai all 9th graders earn
16 core academic credits and eight
elective credits in order to
. graduate.
This ouold include four English
and four math; three science and
social studies; and one fine arts and
PE/health classes.
Of the eight electives, students
will be required to select an area of
interest (major) and earn' at least
four credits in it; the remaining
credits will be used to earn a
second (minor). .

The intent is to have students be
better prepared for college and the
workforce,.she said.
Kemp said the district is going to
rewrite its student progression
plan; implement a seven-period
day at TCHS; organize the ninth
grade into academic teams with
instruction in the four core .
academic areas at the student's
instructional level.
I'Implementation of a GED exit
option is planned, for targeted
students--this is partnered through"
TCHS, The Learning Center and
Taylor Techlmical Institute.

Plans are also in ithe works to
increase dual enrollment .with
North Florida Community College
and offer physics and calculus for
eligible .rudents.
The A++ plan reading initiatives
state that all students who scored
Level 1 (the lowest of five levels)
must be enrolled in a year-long
intensive reading remedial course
to help raise their scores to at least
Level 2.
The plan would also provide a
literacy period for students which
would be required for all 9th and,
10th graders, as well as Sunshine

State Reading Standards for all
11th and 12th graders who have not
yet passed FCAT.
A mandatory 8th grade reading
camp will be required of all 8th
graders who scored Level 1 on
FCAT. Students must pass a
minimum score on norm
referenced tests .in order to be
promoted.
Kemp said these are only some
of the initiatives which will be put
into place, but they are state
mandated and "should definitely
have a positive effect on school
grades and FCAT scores."

Continued from page 1
past few years there has been many,
suggestion and programs to
address these concerns. Everyone
agrees that everything starts in the
home. That is why I am running for
the school board. During my many
years in the insurance business, I
have gone into many different
homes. One important thing I've
noticed is a person may say, one
thing in public, but if they are at
their home, in their favorite chair
with their favorite beverage, they
will tell you what they really think.
To me, the more people you can
convince as to the value of an
education, the better for all
concerned."

Trammell said he feels "strongly
about having a cross section of the
community to volunteer in the
different schools. Not only would
they help our 'excellent school
personnel, but they would take
back to their various
neighborhoods what is going on in
our school and, in turn, get more
people interested in helping our
schools in various ways. I have
personally volunteered at the old
Gladys Morse School."
He noted that "in the past few
years I have ridden nine different
school buses in district one. To me,
this is an excellent way to show
people you care about their
children.
"In closing, I would like to state
that I'm a Christian and believe in
doing what is right. I feel it will
take a strong belief in God and a
lot of patience to do the job that
needs to be done as a good school
board member."

Jena served by new system?

STEINHATCHEE
Continued from page 1
SWA, however, moved forward
with its own sewer plans,
purchasing an existing private
sewer facility as a beginning.
Dixie County -subsequently
pulled out of talks and later SWA
representatives told Taylor
commissioners that Dixie County
would not allow them to cross the
river with sewer lines.

At last week's meeting, Dunn
told commissioners that Dixie
County had presented them with an
agreement to allow the group to
cross the river and, offer sewer
services in Jena.
After perusing the document
for several moments, the
commissioners were quick to point
out several, problems.
The section which prompted the
most criticism from the board was
one which states that SWA will not

require residents in Dixie County
to hook up to the system. Several
commissioners said most grants
and loans available for such
systems require mandatory
hookups and if they saw this
clause, SWA would be ineligible
for the funds.
Although he pointed out that the
commission has no control over
SWA, as it a private organization,
Bethea strongly urged Dunn to
refrain from signing the document.
He added that he still felt a joint
utility authority was the best
option.
"We think they should be in it,"
Bethea said.
"We don't disagree," Dunn said.
"They need you more than you
need them," Bethea added.
Dunn finished his presentation
by saying the first mile of pipeline
for the sewer project is in. The
second mile was expected to begin
the permitting process last week.
That section, however, is
planned to be the pipeline that
crosses the river. Dunn added that
he hoped to have the pipeline into
Dixie County before an estimated
400-500 housing units begin
construction in Jena.

very thoughtful manner and base
my decisions on what I feel to be in
the best interest of Taylor County.
To be effective in solving the
problems confronting us and to'
secure the best results for Taylor
County, we must have the
cooperation of the development
authority, school board, vocational
school, hospital board and various
other local, state and federal
agencies that may be helpful to
us," he continued.
. "In order for us to get maximum
help from those who can help us
requires that we be able to work
together in a cooperative manner.
Trusting relationships must be
developed among all parties, and it
cannot be achieved if we approach
things in a negative or threatening
manner."
Parker is a graduate of Massey
Business College where he
majored in accounting. He retired
from Procter & Gamble (Buckeye)
after 36' years. He is a Methodist
and a Mason.
He is also a member of the
Suwannee River RC&D Council,
and director with both the North
Florida Livestock Show Sale and
Taylor County Farm Bureau.,
Parker also served on the Taylor
County Development Authority
and the Taylor 'Soil & Water
Conservation' Board, and has
served two terms on the Taylor
County School Board. In addition,
he remains active with the Taylor
County 4-H Club Steer Program.
"I feel that I have shown my,
commitment to community- service
by serving on these boards," he
said.
"If I am elected, I pledge to you
that I. will always be. available to
listen to any complaints or ideas
you may have, and that you will
always be received ini a kind and
courteous manner. There have been
many instances in the not too

I do not want to see our county

3 Steinhatchee men arrested in bar break-in

Three Steinhatchee men have
been arrested after admitting to
breaking into the Whitetail
Lounge Friday night and stealing
numerous bottles of liquor.
Taylor County Sheriffs Office
Dep. Rusty Davis said he was
called to the establishment around
2 a.m. in reference to a burglar
alarm.
"When I arrived," said Davis, "I
noticed that part of the front glass
door had been shattered, with
broken glass lying on the ground
around the door." ,
Davis said he then checked the
door and found it to be unlocked.
"I went inside the bar to verify
that no one was there. It appeared

that nothing inside had been
disturbed or taken. I also noticed
small pieces of brown glass,
possibly from a beer bottle."
The next day, after receiving
information from a confidential
informant, Davis and TCSO Dep.
Mark Hershberger went to
Tennille's Trailer Park to speak
with two suspects, Shayne
Andrew Cannon, 18, and Joshua
D. Sadler, 19.
"While speaking to Cannon and
advising him of his Miranda
Rights, he admitted to breaking
into the lounge with two other
subjects--Sadler and Randall
Scott Bedford, 25," said Davis.
"Cannon said that Bedford

threw a beer bottle through the
front door of the lounge and all
three, subjects entered the
premises and took several bottles
of liquor.
"Then, they took the bottles of
liquor back to their trailer and
drank some of them," Davis
added. "I also spoke to Sadler
after reading him his rights and he
admitted also to entering the
lounge with Cannon and Bedford
and stealing many bottles of
liquor."
The three men were arrested
and transported to the Taylor
County Jail, where they were
charged with burglary, criminal
mischief and theft.

Hamilton counties in a pre-season
kickoff classic.
I -Friday's format will feature three
halves of play with the Bulldogs
taking on Lafayette in the first

in the second half and Taylor
versus Hamilton in the final
stanza.

Bulldog Head Coach Price
Harris said his team is ready to
start hitting someone other than
their team mates.
"These guys have worked hard.
They deserve the rewards of
playing in this game," he said.
Harris said two quality
opponents will be coming to town
Friday.
"Lafayette County is one of the
premier Class 1A programs in the
state and Hamilton County is
coming off a very successful 6-4
record in 2005," he said.
The team from Mayo went 13-1
last season and advanced to the
semi-finals of the state playoffs
before falling to eventual state
champs Port St. Joe 3-2.
Two of the Bulldogs' new
coaches were on the Hamilton
County staff last season and know
most of theirplayers.
Bulldog Quarterback Coach
Bobby Eason and Defensive Line
Coach Trace Laing both were on
the Trojan staff last year before
joining Harris earlier this summer..
Harris said he will be looking
for several attributes when his
team lines up Friday night.
"I'm hoping to see a team play.-
hard for all four quarters. I'll be
looking for good fundamentals, no
missed assignments and a good
mental attitude," he said.
The coach said the Bulldogs will
run out of an "I" formation on
offense, mixing in some play-
action passing. On defense, Taylor
County will run a 3-5 scheme
(three down linemen, five
linebackers). -
The probable offensive starting
lineup will be:

"There's No Need to Worry"
Through the darkness of this life,
-I travel every day, but there is no
need to worry, for I have found
"the way."
And- I know he will guide me,
wherever I may go, so there is no
need to worry, God's word has told
me so.
And there is no need to worry
even in the darkest night, for I'll
keep looking forward and I will see
his light.
And he will lead me down the
road, as narrow as it is, but still no
need to worry because the road is
his.
So why waste any time at all, not
a minute, hour or day, when there
is no need to worry, once you have
found "the way."
Mrs. Ernestine Washington, Who
is sick, had relatives from
Jacksonville who came and spent
the day with her and her husband
Sunday,. which made them feel

Michael T. Jones

On. the wings of a memory I saw a vision of you there,.
With rainbows in your eyes and. heaven's light in your hair.
I reached for your hand just one more touch,
Is it asking for a miracle is it asking too much?
S I feel your preseitce on the wind I smell you on the rain,
Just one more, time to have your laughter ease the pain.
T OTo see that wonderful little grin on your face,
To have your smile light up even the darkest place.
If jt were possible, I'd pray you back home with the dawn,
But then again, on the wings of my memories you're not really gone.

"He's Gone" I M
Our little brother's gone,
three year's today,. P -
It's kind of hard to move on., -
We try to go on each day, '
As if our little brother never
went away. -
We know that he is watching us from above,
And we hope he knows he has all our love.
We really miss him a lot,
And he will never be forgotten.
He touched many lives in his short time of living,
He was the best, so loving and forgiving.
We didn't spend much time together,
But one day we'll be together, together forever
And no one will be. able to keep us apart,
Because we'll be'so close, almost as one beating heart.
We can't wait for that day to come,
And when it comes my heart will beat like a drum.
We'll be a little nervous to see our little bro,
But we're going to hug him and never let him go,
Because I don't ever want to lose him again.
We want us to be together until the very end.
Love your sisters, Staci and Traci ._

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?No. 15

PERMIT IT TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS

By Bill Blue
Today, men have differing views over the necessity of baptism. Some
argue that baptism is necessary for salvation. Others argue that all
one must do to be saved is believe. The apostles' teaching on baptism
is clear. Peter said baptism saves you (1 Pet. 3:21), and is necessary
for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38). On one occasion Peter even
commanded believers to be baptized (Acts 10:48). Paul said that
baptism washes away, and frees us from, our sins (Acts 22:16; Rom.
6:6-8), allows us to put on Christ (Gal. 3:27), join His body (1 Cor.
12:13), and share in His death and resurrection by putting to death
our former sinful ways (Rom. 6:3-8). On one occasion Paul even re-
baptized disciples who only knew the baptism of John (Acts 19:5)
even though John's baptism was also for the remission of sins (Mark
1:4). The book of Acts describes multiple conversions involving
baptism, and none that do not (Acts 2:38-41; 8:5-13; 8:35-38; 9:1-18
& 22:16; 10:34-48; 16:13-15; 16:25-34; 18:8). Yet some men stilL.
argue against the necessity of baptism. What would Jesus do?
Jesus consistently preached and commanded the necessity of baptism
throughout His ministry..
Three different Gospels tell us Jesus began His ministry by submitting
to baptism (Matt. 3:13-17; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22). Jesus did
not question the purpose or necessity of baptism. When John protested
that his own righteousness was inferior to Christ's, Jesus said, "Permit
it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness,"
and then He was-baptized (Matt. 3:13-15). If one wants to be more
like Christ, why wouldn't he follow Jesus' example and submit humbly
to baptism as Christ did?
Two of the possible reasons why people fail to follow Jesus'
commands and.exampies are that they either believe they are smarter
than God, or the simplistic nature of the gospel itself poses an obstacle
to obedience (1 Cor. 1:18-29). Shortly after beginning His ministry,
Jesus told Nicodemus, "unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he
cannot enter the kingdom of.God" (John 3:2-5). Is it that difficult to
understand the necessity of water baptism? Should wequestion what
the water actually accomplishes? Naaman had difficulties acceptifig
the simplicity of God's plan. When Elisha told Naaman that washing
seven times in the Jordan River would cleanse Naaman of his leprosy,
Naaman became indignant and initially refused (2 Kings 5:10-12).
"Are not the...the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of
Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean" (2 Kings 5:12)? In his.
arrogance, Naaman thought he was too smart to believe that washing
in a muddy river would cleanse him of his leprosy. By so thinking,
however, Naaman was actually saying that he was smarter than God..
Fortunately, Naaman had a servant who could see the foolishness in
not accepting the simple command. "My father, if the prophet had
told you to do something great, would you not have done it? How
much more then, when he says to you, 'Wash, and be clean'" (2 Kings
5:13)? Sometimes people like Naaman think too much when all they
have to do is accept what Jesus said, "unless one is born of water and
the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God" (John 3:5). "The
foolishness of God is wiser than men,,and the weakness of God is
stronger than men. [1 Cor. 1:25] But God has chosen the foolish things
of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak
things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty" .(1
Cor. 1:25, 27).
After His death and resurrection, Jesus said "He who believes and is
baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be
condemned" (Mark 16:16). "Go therefore and make disciples of all
the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit" (Matt. 28:19). These are among the very last
statements Jesus said to all of the apostles at once prior to His
ascension. Jesus could have used this occasion to speak to His apostles
about anything and He chose to emphasize baptism. The Holy Spirit
could have inspired Matthew and Mark to emphasize something else
at the end of their gospel accounts, but He chose to emphasize baptism.
Despite all of man's arguments about the necessity of baptism for
salvation, one fact remains: no one can give a biblical reason not to
do it. Do we truly want to consider what Jesus would do, ahd then do
it, or would we rather, like Naaman, question the simplistic and easy
nature of God's command? If we truly wanted to follow Jesus'
example, we would humbly submit to baptism to fulfill His plan for
achieving righteousness.

With multi-million dollar donation

Equestrian dream becomes a reality

The Steinhatchee River will be
protected, equestrians will have a
new place to ride and local
ecotourism opportunities will
increase, thanks to the vision and
generosity of a Lafayette County
couple who transferred ownership
of their 2,481-acre ranch to
the Suwannee River Water
Management District (SRWMD).
On July 26, the district closed on
the purchase of the property from
Frank "Red" and Olive Schulte,
owners of the R.O. Ranch, and

I..:

from R.O. Ranch, Inc., a nonprofit
Florida corporation that will
oversee and manage operations on
the property, including a planned
equestrian center.
With the total land valued at $6.5
million, the Schultes earlier this
year donated a substantial
$3.5-million interest in the land to
R.O. Ranch, Inc. Proceeds of the
sale of the corporation's interest to
the district will be placed in an
endowment and used to fund future
management activities on the

KB^s': *"S

ranch.
The property is located at the
northern end of approximately
20,000 acres of district lands that
run along the Steinhatchee River
for a distance of about 15 miles.
Two major creeks running through
the property--Owl Creek and
Crossway Branch--feed into the
Steinhatchee River.
The Schultes have owned and
lived on the property since the
early 1970s, managing the land as
a working cattle ranch. Their desire

to prevent future subdivision of the
property, and their dream of
promoting trail riding and other
equestrian activities in the area, led
to their partnership with the
district, the couple said.
The district created R. 0. Ranch,
Inc., in order to facilitate the
Schulte's donation and to assist
with the management of an
equestrian facility. A board of
directors will govern the affairs of
the nonprofit corporation. In
addition to (Frank) Schtilte, the
following individuals have been
named to serve on the board of
directors:
--Coleen Agner is a Taylor
County middle school teacher and
an accomplished equestrian.. As a
volunteer leader for the Taylor
County 4-H horse program, Agner
runs an equine program that
includes a horse club, horse camps,
horse shows and judging. She
volunteers with the Live Oak
Hounds Pony Club in Thomasville,
Ga., and serves on the Florida
Farm Bureau Equine Advisory
Bqard.
--Annette Land resides in
Branford and is owner of Land
Brokerage Realtor. In 2002. she
was named "Woman of the Year in
Agriculture" by the Florida
Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services and the Florida
State Fair Authority. She is a
memtberd of the Flonda Cattlemen
.Association, National Angus
Association. Florida Cutting Horse
Association. National Cutting
Horse Association and Suwannee

--Danny Liles is manager of
Liles Hardware in Cross City. Liles
is chief of the Dixie County
volunteer fire department, as well
as an EMT. :In 2005 he was

presented the Ray Warren
Community Service Award by the
Dixie County Chamber of
Commerce.
--Louis Shiver is the Suwannee
River Water Management District
Governing Board representative on
the Board of Directors and serves
as its chairman. He is president of
Shiver Dairy Farm, Inc., of Mayo,
and a member of the Suwannee
River Partnership, Florida
Cattlemen Association and
Southeast Milk, Inc.
The district and R.O. Ranch,

Inc., are now in the process ofC'''
selecting a planning and design
firm to create a master plan for the
ranch.
A preliminary site evaluation
indicated that the property is
suitable for a number of equestrian
activities including
trail and endurance riding, western
pleasure riding, rodeo events,
carriage driving, cross country
riding, and showing/schooling.
The target date for
groundbreaking on the project is
mid-2007.

Council eyes pooling

efforts for healthcare

Congressman MAlen Boyd recently hosted a meeting %with the
District Healthcare Council to discuss local healthcare issues and
concerns, including federal appropriation requests and rural hospitals
in North Florida. "-:-
The council is'comprised of 24 -1embers from 16 counties across
North Florida. including two representatives from Taylor.
"Access to quality. affordable healthcare is a critical part of
Amencan life." said Boyd. "Altho.gy.much more needs to be done
in Washington, there is more that wO can do at home as well. It is m.
hope that the District Healthca'e Council will start thinking
regionally. so the counties can conime together and pool their resourLes
to improve the overall quality of heilthcare in North Flonda."
At the meeting. Boyd had two' mailn objectives for the District
Healthcare Council. The first objetilve was for the council to focus
on regionalized problem solving. .Up'to this point, Bo.d had asked
the counties to focus on their individual concerns. However, at this
meeting, he encouraged members to consider the healthcare concerns
of surrounding counties as well. L.

Florida Department of
Agriculture and Consumer
Sern ikes Commissioner Charles H.
Bronson has announced a program
that v.ill help people \who
ow n forest land manage their
resources.
Registration for enrollment in
the Forest Land Enhancement
Program IFLEPi is currently
under\ta\ with the Division of
Forest through September 15.
This program, authorized under
the 2002 Farm Bill. is at\alable to
non-industrial private forest
landowners on a 75-25 cost share
basis for most practices. Eligible
practices include, but are not
limited to: site preparation, tree
planting. and prescribed burning
acti\ cities. Landow ners u ho ow n at
least 10 acres but no more that
10,000 acres of land who have a

multiple-resource practice plan
will be eligible to receive funding
assistance under FLEP. A
maximum of $10.000 %will be
available for each qualifying
landowner over the life of the
program as reimbursement for
incurred expenses for approved
practices. Forest management
practices must be applied to a
minimum of 10 acres to qualify for
reimbursement.
Almost half of the state's 14
million acres of forestland is
owned by private non-industrial
forest landowners. According to
national, regional and statewide
landowner surveys, most forest
landowners don't ha.e a
management plan for their
property. The state's allocation
under the program will be used for
implementation of forest practices

andowners

prescribed in existing or newly
developed management plans.
"It benefits everyone when the
best management practices are in
place for forested property,"
Bronson said.
"The forests are a critical natural
resource in Florida and it is
important to preserve them as well
as mitigate an% potential wildfire
danger."

Landowners can obtain
application forms from their local
Division of Forestry office.
Foresters will provide technical
assistance to landowners and will
be the local contact persons for
participating landowners.

New soil board member

finds letter 'disturbing

Dear Editor: ,
As a member of the newly
organized Taylor County Soil and
Water Conservation District Board,
I found the letter in the Aug. 9 Taco
Times very disturbing, to say the
least. I can assure the writer that
the TCSWCD board will not'
promote anything that is not proven
to be 100-percent environmentally
sound.
Those who would be critical of
the board should at least wait until
we take office in January 2007,. As
for the writer's concerns about the
TCSWCD board spending tax
S dollars, I don't know of any. 'Board

members are. not paid; they
volunteer 'their time and pay their
own expenses. In some counties,
the boards get funding from their
county commission.
The Taylor board has not
functioned for several years, so I
don't think the county has the
board in their budget. If we do a
'good job, maybe the county will
put us intheir budget for future
funding. .
I envision putting together a
sound environmental program
based on 'scientific facts with a
yery .strong emphasis on
information and education. It is

my plan to have a program that the
people in Taylor County will not
only be proud of, but will benefit
greatly from.
In the original article about me
qualifying for the TCSWCD
board, your paper labeled me as an
environmental activist. If working
hard to get factual, truthful,
scientific information to the people
of Taylor -County about their
environment makes me an
environmental activist, then I want
to be the best environmental
activist in Florida!
Thank you,
Rick Causey

Health impact study raises 'concerns'

Dear Editor:
Back in June I expressed
concern to the county
commissioners about the quality of
the "Health Impact Assessment of
the Taylor Energy Center" being
purchased for $30,000 by the
Ta lor County Development
Authority. They agreed to look into
this expenditure as soon as the
director returned from his trip to
Vermont. This never happened.
l read the first deliverable and
agide with the health department
director--it is a baseline study,
using information available on
internet websites easily obtained,
at no cost. TCDA has committed
to paying $30,000.
Ny concern stemmed from
analyzing the assessment done by
the same company for the
Madison/Jefferson County health
departments. I was shocked at the
poor quality and the lack of-"
consideration of pollution effects
on children, elderly and at-risk
populations. The particulate
matter risk assessments used in
that study were based on middle
aged people, not children 'or
elderly. All-cause mortality was
used rather than specific disease
causes of death.
When I called the company with
whom TCDA contracted, Healthy
Development, one of the partners
told me the Taylor County
assessment would not address
health impacts from mercury,
particulate matter or carbon
dioxide emissions as they "had
covered those subjects in 'their
Rapid HIA for Madison/
Jefferson."
In addition. I learned that' "'it
would be outside the scope" of the

assessment to evaluate the
combined chemicals released into
the air by both Buckeye and the
proposed plant. It is unbelie able
that a health impact assessment in
Taylor County would not consider
an existing major source of air and
water pollution. Further, I learned
that only 10 individuals (out of.
over 19,000 residents) were going
to be interviewed for their survey
of citizen concerns in the first
segment released Monday. .
I asked both the company and
TCDA to address over 22 specific
questions and concerns I had about
the assessment. Neither responded,
except to comment that having to
answer questions slowed them
down.
If TCDA truly wanted to guard
- the health of our citizens over the
60+ year lifespan of an 800-
megawatt pulverized coal plant,
they would seek the highest quality
health impact assessment possible.

They would gather information
already available onh the negative
Effects of coal plant emissions,
If this is to be a study of the
"Health Impact of the Taylor
Energy Center," it must 'evaluate
specific effects of modern
pulverized coal- emissions on all
ages and health conditions, over
time, not just the wage and health
insurance benefits possible for
employees of the proposed plant;.
The words "health impact". impln
how the proposed plant ill affect
your health, not how well you can
manage health problems if you
have a job and insurance!
S Itb would be honest to call this a
"baseline study of health concerns'
in Taylor County." It is not honest
to call it a "health impact
assessment of'the Taylor Energy
Center."
I am disappointed our

'Where is the state-of-the-art

hospital we were promised?'

Dear Editor:
I am writing this letter to ask the
citizens of Perry, the county
commission and the hospital
board: where is the state-of-the-art
medical facility we were promised
when the new hospital was built
and with our money'?
DMH has lost at least five-plus
doctors in the last month or so and
many more over the years. Do we
as citizens not deserve decent
healthoare? DMH runs a 24-hour
medical facility but cannot
perform tests that most hospitals

consider routine and are staffed 24
hours to do these procedures. But
can you get these done after 4 p.m.
at DMH? No. I feel that this is sad
for our citizens, most who are
elderly and unable to travel for
medical care. It is a shame that we
have to drive over one hour to get
qualified medical care when we as
citizens built a new hospital. Oh, I
forgot, we have the helicopter to
.get us. there faster, but how many
of you have been out at 2 or 3 in-
the morning and it is so foggy you,
can't see inches in front of you?,
What helicopter can fly in those
conditions?
Perry noP longer offers a labor
and delivery unit, a vascular
surgeon (board certified) or a
certified cardiologist, but we can
fix a broken bone. But if you are
having a heart attack, you are just
out of luck. How sad.
Can anyone at the start of this
letter explain this? Is it because/the
surgeon in town fears competition
or are the hospital higher-ups so
sure 'that no emergency care will
be needed for their family or loved
ones. Oh, .that's right, they just go
in the hospital and demand better
care for their family because they
are more important than the
general citizens. What a rip-off for
the citizens of Perry. i
I hope seriously that if me or one.
of my family members need life-
saving procedures that we are
either out of state or close to a real
hospital, not a make believe state-
of-the-art facility. I think the
citizens of Perry should ask why
we built this. facility if the
administration had no intentions of
improvements.
You should have stayed where
we were, if they really had no
intention of providing quality
health care.

Letters to the Editor

Writer responds to 'noxious weed' letter

Dear Editor:
In response to letter to the editor,
"Writer doesn't want 'noxious
weed' in Taylor," proves only one
thing: the writer didn't read the
entire posting on the list serve:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sa
veTaylorCountyFloridaResidents/
which is the list serve for TRUE,
not HOPE.
She was obviously attempting to
malign our growing environmental
groups. The list serve for HOPE is
http://gi oups.yahoo.com/group/
HopeForCleanWater/ and the
article to\ which she referred was
not posted on that list serve back in
May, but it is now so that all can
read it. The article is also posted
on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/
EANoF/ which is o.ur list serve for
the Environmental Alliance of
North Florida.
Had the writer read the entire

postings, she would have learned
thif 'Progress Energy and the
Jacksonville Electric Authority
have been paying a fellow named
Allen Sharpe to grow these
noxious weeds in Duval County.
Obviously, JEA is the entity to
which she should have directed her
anger: And, had she read the
article, she would have learned that
aftic ccnsive research, the Sierra
Club iot which I am a member)
oppo.es. planting arundo donax
Jrn\where in Florida or the USA.
The Wall Street Journal article
which started off the entire
discussion on the list serve was
more than two years old and after
extensive research the Sierra Club
changed its position.
Perhaps even more of a concern
to the writer is that burning any
kind of biomass would nullify the
pulp mill's need and desire for

burning black liquor, "biofuel" as it
is called by pulp and paper mills, at
the proposed power plant. She
also doesn't seem to be in favor of
growing kenaf to replace the
genetically-engineered pine
seedlings (which by the way do not
produce pine cones) that the
company favors now. Kenaf
produces about 20 percent more
cellulose per acre, without the need
for clear cutting and extensive
herbicide use which current

unsustainable forestry practices
require.
The writer can join all three of
our list serves, so that she can
participate in all the lively and
informative discussions provided
by true democracy where the
members discuss fully and openly
the pros and cons of many ideas
and proposals, good ones and not-
so-good ones.
Sincerely,
Joy Towles Ezell

HEALTHCARE ,
Continued from page B-1

The second objective was to push the counties. to work more closely
with the business community, and state and local agencies, and make them
active participants in achieving the healthcare goals of Nofth-lFlorida.
Boyd formed the District Healthcare Council in 2005 to tackle
healthcare issues locally., Each county was given the task of choosing a
representative to serve on the District Healthcare Council. Representing
Taylor County are County Commissioner Clay Bethea and Rick Brown of
Doctors Memorial Hospital.
"The District Healthcare Council assembles people from all different
professions and points of view so that the discussions and solutions will
be comprehensive and representative of our unique district." Boyd stated.
"By bringing the district together, we can better serve the healthcare needs
of North Floridians." .
