The owner of the store said he

ready to close the business, when
the suspect walked inside and
yelled, "Everybody get down!"
The man then came around the
counter, holding the gun to the
men's heads, and demanded the -
cash register be opened.
After grabbing the money, the.

suspect fled the scene on foot with
an undisclosed amount of money.

think like them as infidels,
including the rest of the Muslims,"
Leach said.
"We're dealing with true
fanatics. Each one of them is
basically a walking bomb."
One of the problems with Islam,
he said, is there is no hierarchy.
"Anyone can call themselves an
Imam (a prayer leader). They can
say anything and no one is there to
say they're wrong. :
"Their words violate the Qu'ran
(the Islamic holy book), which
prohibits Jihad against other
Muslims."
Leach said he had befriended
one of the leaders of the Grand
Mosque in Paris during.his time in
France, talking at length about the
problems.
. "We're involved in a clash of
cultures. Technology and
communication have, thrown us
together," he said. "We must do all
we can to protect innocent
civilians."
"Now for the good news,"-he
said.'
"I think we are incredibly
fortunate to live in the United
States. There is no other country
that offers more opportunity."
He made comparisons between
the U.S. and France, a country
generally considered to be free.
In France, he said, graduating
students are required to take a.test,
and if they fail to pass it, are not
allowed to go to college. Students
who do pass are required to go to
the school closest to where they

live and universities lack many
amenities, such as full libraries,
that are common here in the U.S.
Leach was ambassador from
2001-05.

Taylor Farm Bureau hosts

annual meeting on Aug. 31

The Taylor County Farm Bureau
will hold its annual meeting Aug.
31 at the Catholic Parish Hall on S.
Byron Butler Parkway.
A reception for all candidates for
local office will begin at 6:30 p.m.
followed by a "traditional Farm
Bureau BBQ," informative
program, charity cake auction and
a short business session.
According to President Auley
Rowell, Farm Bureau is a not-for-
profit organization with some
1,200 local member families that is
an advocate for:

the American family farm and
its heritage;
the right to freely practice one's
religious beliefs;
support of our nation's
constitution and laws;
a just and fair system of
taxation;
an abundant and healthy
domestic food supply;.
limited government intrusion
and regulation;
private property rights;
preservation of the rural
lifestyle;

environmental practices based
on sound science;
a competitive free market
system;
a level playing field for world
trade;
freedom of opportunity;
respect for our fellow man; and
programs that help develop our
nation's young people.
Member families are encouraged
to attend. Prospective members are
also welcome, and to join the local
Farm Bureau to help promote
agriculture and traditional values.

The Taylor County Commission
is pursuing a grant to help
construct a new Emergency
Operations Center (EOC) for the
county.
According. 'to Emergency
Management Director Brianne
Hoover, the county "does not have
adequate operational, space should
the need to fully activate the EOC
arise. Structural survivability is
also questionable as our current
location is not rated per .the
guidelines."

In Nashville

Currently the EOC is housed in
the basement of the courthouse.
The competitive grant is
administered by the state's
Department of Community Affairs
(DCA) and was established by the
Florida Legislature during their
2006 session.
, Eligible activities under the
grant include construction or
structural renovation of the county
EOC facility and essential
infrastructure needed to meet
the structural survivability

requirements and Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) workspace
recommendations.
It does not include purchasing
land, equipment, furnishings,
communications or other
operational systems or recurring
expenses.
Grant funds will be awarded
contingent on availability and if
the county is selected for the grant,
any construction must be
completed by 2009.

As the school' year begins it's a
a good time to review-lessons that

Consider these lessons:
Be nice to your friends and they

Success takes work. If you

If you let things pile up, it will be

You can play once your chores

Get your work done before you
take a break. Then you can relax
and have a good time.
Stay in school.
If you don't get an education,
your opportunities will be limited.
Don't drop out of school. The

Don't waste your time.

Stephens wins year of gasoline

Representatives with Ware Oil stand with Debra Stephens, second from right, winner of a year's worth of gas.

2 arrested for cocaine

Two women, one in a
wheelchair, were arrested for
possession of cocaine and other
charges, after police found them in
possession of crack cocaine, crack-
smoking pipes and marijuana.
Perry Police Department Ptl.
Dwight Norris said he'saw Sherika
Vontez Maxwell, 26, in front of
the D&M Store.
"I knew that Maxwell had a
warrant out for her," said Norris,
"so I stopped and executed an
arrest."
During a pat-down, Norris
discovered a pill bottle wrapped.
with electrical tape containing 10
pieces of crack and a large slab of:
crack in a bag worth an estimated
$500.
SAt the time of her arrest,:
Maxwell was within 1,000 feet of,
St. Peter's Primitive Baptist,
Church.
Also in front of the store, "was
a black female siting in a
wheelchair with a purple Crown
Royal bag and purse beside her,"
said Norris.
The woman was identified as
Sherri Renee Tensley, 43, who
then attempted to hide the items
behind her, according to Norris.
"When I akcd her what she had
in the bagr-and puse, she stated

'nothing,'" said Norris.
"I asked her if she minded if I
.looked at them and she said that
she didn't mind. She then stood up
and began to pull out some of the
items, but she kept pushing a
small plastic bag back into the
purse," Norris said.
"I reached over and grabbed the
cigarette purse before she got rid
of the plastic bag inside. Tensley
attempted to snatch the item away
from me and PPD Ptl. Lin Gray
had to grab her.
"We told her that she was under
. arrest and she continued to resist-
us," added Norris. "After a short
struggle, Tensley was taken to the.
ground, cuffed and placed in Gray's
patrol unit."
During a further search of
Tensley's purse and bag, two
copper crack pipes and two bags
with pieces of crack cocaine were
located, along with a bag
containing a small amount of
marijuana, according to Norris.
Tensley was arrested and charged
with possession of cocaine,
po-ssession of less than 20 grams
pf cannabis, possession of drug
paraphernalia and resisting arrest
without violence.
Maxwell was arrested 'and
charged \ ith possession of cocaine

Bulldogs drop two in kickoff classic

The absence of five players,
mostly due to injuries, depleted an
already thin roster for the Taylor
County Bulldogs' pre-season
jamboree and contributed to a pair
-of one-half losses to Lafayette
County and Hamilton County
Friday night at Dorsett Stadium.
The Bulldogs fell by a score of
.21-7 in the opening half to the
Lafayette County Hornets, who
are coming off of an undefeated
regular season and 3-2 second-
round play-off loss to eventual
Class 1-A state champion Port St.
Joe.
The Hornets ran out of steam in
-the jamboree's middle half of play,'
-as the Hamilton County Trojans
,pulled out a 14-10 win over
Lafayette with a long late
touchdown run.
The Tfojans finished undefeated
in the jamboree by handing the
:.-Bulldogs a 20-6 loss in the third
and final half of play.
Taylor County's lack of a
-running game factored heavily into
both losses, as the Bulldogs
finished with negative rushing
yards in both halves of play. Nine
fumbles, including five bad snaps
and four turnovers also contributed
-.to the two losses.
Taylor County had 14 carries for
minus 13 yards and five fumbles
in their 21-6 loss to Mayo.
-Despite not turning the ball over
,:;.in the final half, the Bulldogs lost
-.-21 yards on 11 runs and had four
-fumbles (all recovered).
Sophomore runningback
-:Bryckoski Jackson 'was not
scheduled to play, but got last-
second clearance from medical staff,
-to suit up for the game. Jackson
was an obvious force early in the
first half against Lafayette,
carrying the ball twice on the
Bulldogs' first drive and making a
diving, one-handed interception on
Mayo's first possession before re-
injuring his shoulder on.thereturn-
and being forced to the sidelines
-'for the remainder of the night.
Projected starters Ethan Young
S(tight end/linebacker), Joseph
-Proenza (tight end/linebacker),
Geor gie Armstrong
(fullback/linebacker) and Cory
Sadler (fullback/defensive linemen)
Small missed the jamboree, forcing
the coaching staff to juggle the
line-up with a shortage of players
at several important positions.
The losses hurt the Bulldogs'
rushing attack and defensive depth
as .the remaining players were
1 forced into playing continuously
3 on both offense and defense.
Bright spots for the Bulldogs
included senior QB Marquis Ellis,
who completed 9 of 19 passes for
91 yards with no interceptions.
However, bad snaps and a fumble
contributed to the Taylor County
signal-caller losing 39 yards on
six carries. ,
Junior receiver Greg Sneed had a
very impressive jamboree,
catching, six passes for 72 yards
and returned an interception 65
yards for a touchdown against
Hamilton.
Senior receiver Chad Ellis also
showed big-play potential,
catching a nine-yard pass and
returning a punt 55 yards for a
touchdown against Mayo.
With both starting runningbacks
out (Armstrong and Jackson)
Jarvis McGrew carried three times
for four yards and freshmen
runningbacks Reggie King (7'
carries, 10 yards) and Dominique
Bryant (4 carries, -6 yards) were
forced into early action.
Freshman halfback Jonathan
Smith showed tremendous speed
with a pair of kick returns for 21
and 24 yards, while sophomore-
Jarquis Ellis had a .17-yard
interception return.
SSenior offensive and defensive
linemen Drew Southerland and
Adam Cook were forces on both;
sides of the ball, while senior
linebacker Jake Meacham --- who
knocked the helmet.off of a ball
carrier on one boie-jarring tackle
-- picked up where he left off last
season, punishing opposing ball
carriers and seemingly getting in
on every defensive tackle.
Junior Kendall Thompson was a
big bright spot on defense,
coming up with several big plays.
including sacks, QB pressures and
a deflection at the line. Fellow
juniors Tyler DuBose, Will Hall
and Carl Padgett, who missed the
second h.lf, also had big plays on
both the offensive arid defensive

lines in addition to the solid play
of sophomore Cody Davis.
First Half
Lafayette County took
advantage of their size advantage
and powerful rushing attack to
churn out 23 carries for 150 yards
and three touchdowns.
Taylor had fist possession and
moved the ball well in two plays
with a four-yard run by Jackson
and a 10-yard pass from Ellis to
Meacham. However, Jackson
fumbled on the next play and
Mayo took over near midfield.
Jackson, DuBose and Quentin
Tucker combined for a sack and
Jackson made a beautiful one-
handed interception two plays later
to give the ball back to the
Bulldog offense. However, during
the interception return Jackson re-
injured his shoulder and left the
game.
After Taylor was forced to punt,
the Hornets went to the running
game to grind out a 66-yard drive
ending with a two-yard TD run by
Eric McIntyre with 2:22 left in the
first quarter. Meacham, Hall and
Chad Ellis, (big goal line tackle
and near interception) all had big
plays on defense.
Trailing 7-0, the .Bulldogs
responded with an 18-yard pass to
Sneed on first down, but could not
get.the running game going and
had to punt after M. Ellis was
sacked for a 13-yard loss.
A long 38-yard run by Hornet
fullback Kurt Skelly -moved
Lafayette to the Taylor 33, but
Jarquis Ellis made a big
interception and returned it 17
yards. King had two 'nice carries,
but McGrew was stopped short of
a first down on a 3rd down run,
forcing freshman Ty Crowley (3
punts, 31.6-yard average) to make
the first of two nice punts.
DuBose and Thompson ke'ed a
nice defensive stand, but the
Bulldogs found themselves backed
up at their own 10 after a punt.
.Bryant lost two yards on first
down and M. Ellis dropped the
ball at the one-yard line
attempting to roll out on a pass,
Mclntyre scored on the next
play to give Mayo a-14-0 lead
with 7:01 to play in the half.
Crowley came in at QB and
struggled with the center
exchange, fumbling three snaps
and throwing an interception.
Mayo could not capitalize on
,the turnover and had to punt,
allowing Chad Ellis to turn on the
jets and follow some exceptional
blocking by Smith and the
Bulldog punt return team to a 55-
yard touchdown.
Mayo's Mcinitre scored on a
30-yard run to finish the first half
with Lafayette winning 21-7.
Second Half
Despite an impressive passing
performance by Marquis Ellis (7
of 14 for 61 yards) and Sneed (5
catches for 54 yards'). the Bulldogs
lack of a rushing attack and
injuries on defense contributed to
Hamilton cruising to a 20-6 win
in the second half.
Taylor went three-and-out to
start the half and Hamilton

immediately went to their speedy
stable of runningbacks as four
different ball carriers moved the
Trojans 73 yards in just seven
plays before capping the drive
with a 22-yard pass to tailback
Lathaniel Sowell.
Trailing 6-0, the Bulldogs put
on an impressive passing
performance as M. Ellis connected
with Sneed for a pair of passes for
27 yards and another nine-yard
completion to Chad Ellis.
King ran for seven yards and
fumbled, but Davis was there to
pounce on the ball. Ellis almost
connected with Meacham on a
pass at the five-yard line, but

fumbled for a hine-yard loss and
King was thrown for a four-yard
loss to end the drive.
Southerland and Meacham came
up big on defense for the
Bulldogs, along with Tucker and
Zach Bradshaw. Thompson also
had two tackles for a loss and
popped the helmet off a Trojan
ballcarrier.
Southerland put heavy pressure
on the Trojan QB forcing an errant
pass that was picked off by Sneed,
who wove his way through seven
players on the way to a 65-yard
touchdown return to tie the game
at 6-6.
However, Hamilton broke off an

Bulldog runningback Reggie King (20) breaks

Meacham made one nice goal-line
tackle, the Trojans punched it in
and converted a two-point play to
go up 14-6.
A nice return by Smith and 17-
yard scrambling pass from Ellis to
Sneed moved the Bulldogs to their
own 43, where three straight high

snaps over Ellis' head sent the
Bulldogs backwards and ended the
drive.

What little did we know early
that Monday morning God
had called your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
that day God called you home,.
You left us with precious
memories, your love is still
our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and
nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

Happy Birthday!!!
We miss you so much!
Love always,
Your Family

Remembering you is so easy,
but missing you is the heartache
that never leaves me. v. .
Son, I'm not afraid to face tomorrow,
I have seen yesterday and I live today.
They say that the pain gets better after a while, but they lie.
When you walk in my shoes let me know about your pain.
Son we both share a very special love for each other
and that is what keeps me holding on to the good memories.
Rest in Peace my sweet angel, until we meet again.
You will forever be in my heart.

The HOSPITAL is vital for healthcare in our community. I will continue to be-a
strong supporter of the hospital. -

Taylor County VETERANS are important to me. The Veterans Memorial Park is I
nearing completion. My next focus for veterans will be to utilize the old hos-
pital as a veteran's clinic.

Our SENIORS.have many needs and some are having trouble making ends meet. -
We need to establish minimum standards and I will focus on ensuring those stan-
dards are met.

We need good paying JOBS for, the future of our children and the community as a
whole. I will partner with local leaders to make our community attractive
to other employers.

Property TAXES are too high. We do not need for anyone to lose their home
because they cannot afford to pay high taxes. I will n6t vote to increase property
taxes. I will partner with local leaders to make our community attractive
to employers.
I have enjoyed visiting with many of you in District 4. .1 appreciate your hospitality
and your input. Those of you that I missed, I will continue to make every
attempt to see you. It is important for me to know each of you and listen to
your concerns. My campaign is about "People, not Politics."

B-1 Taco Times August 23, 2006

Dear Editor:
I appreciate the recent responses
to my Aug. 9 letter by two
S 4 supervisors of the Taylor County
Soil & Water Conservation
District.
TCSWCD S.upervisor Rick
Causey's response letter stating the
district will not immediately
request tax funds is welcomed by,
S, this property owner and probably
by those in beach areas that have
been particularly hard hit by
escalating property taxes.
TCSWCD Supervisor Joy
Towles-Ezell's letter inviting me to
join three environmental groups
(HOPE, TRUE and EANoF) and to
participate in their discussions of
current environmental topics was
well received.
I accept her membership
invitation.
The little difference of opinion
about replacing Taylor County
NOW

forestland with plantations of
invasive species is best understood
by reviewing the written record.
On May 23, Supervisor Towles-
Ezell made a post on the internet
saying: "Maybe when Buckeye
closes, and there's no need for
thousands of acres -of hybrid-
cellulose-no-pine-cone-diaper
material-pine "sort-of"-trees. .. we
can grow "a bamboolike, 16-foot-
tall grass"--maybe like kenaf (or
hemp?) instead, for powering our
natural nature coast with clean
energy." (sic)
In the context of the companion
internet posts, there is no blinking
at the fact the "bamboolike"
reference was to, arundo donax, a
non-native,-noxious weed.
To her credit, Supervisor
Towles-Ezell seems to be
modifying her position. In her
August 16 letter she wrote "the
Sierra Club (of which I am a

member) opposes planting arundo
donax anywhere in Florida or the
USA."
Stripped of the chronological
complexities, it appears the
supervisor was for replacing
Taylor County forestlands with
arundo donax before she was;
against it.
If there has indeed been a
change in, heart, I rejoice. It
wouldn't be hard for me to support
a public official who repents of
hasty words written in anger.
Meanwhile, I remain stubbornly
convinced .that my original
position is correct: "There may be
a role for expanding the use of
biomass fuels in Taylor County,
but in my Opinion it' should not
involve the wholesale conversion
of forestland to invasive, exotic
species."
Sincerely,
Alice Simmons

Common ground in coal plant issue?

Dear Editor:' -
Can the question of a coal fired
'plant, or no goal fired plant, move
forward to meet any semblance of
l. agreement: The answer ies. -
It cannot be promoted b\ an,
unscientific study that goes about
pinching rear ends to rule as to the
percentage of obese people
populating Taylor County. Nor

.time those who. stand in full'
opposition to a coal plant should

concurrently seek a common
ground to bring about a
compromise.
Clearly, to date, the county
doifmmjission" has stood "firm,
un\w a% ering. in their support of the
"basic" .power plant as proposed.
There are those in opposition
maintaining a constant vigil
seeking a glimmer of acceptance
for their position. They have'
received complete rebuff.
Not generally known there are
those, who await "future
developments" to find, if any, the
source. or sources, of such 100%
commission unity and "loyalty.".
Ceri'ainl the county
commission is not going to be the
final approving agency for the,
proposed plant. Beyond the county
land use 'approval and approvals

such as water usage there are
numerous agencies, state and
federal,' who must provide their'

Questions raised over contributions' timing

Dear Editor:
The fact that the power company
did not bring the $170 million.to
the table until recently, to the best
of the public's knowledge, and not
before the county commission first
agreed to thp idea of a coal plant in
Taylor County, suggests one of two,
things:
The power company held back
and waited to see what public
reaction was going to be before,
using the money to manipulate

public opinion. (If -they had
'received a mildly against or overall
'favorable reaction to the coal plant
from the public, the money never
would have been offered.)
The other possibility is that 'one
'or more county commissioners
may have known about the money
and didn't inform the public.'
' I see the money as basically a
bribe. The power company doesn't'
like the public reaction and so is
pa ing off the taxpayers. They

will paint it as evidence of their
desire to help the community and
as evidence of future intentions to
be a positive asset in the'
development of Taylor County. In
reality, they consider it part of the
cost of doing business.
What's important about the
money is not where it is going so
. much as how it will be paid. The
power company will make a big
deal about where the money is
going, but nailing them down on
how 'and over what time period it
will be paid, may prove to be
difficult and interesting. No doubt
they know exactly:how they would
like to pay it. The payments may
be based on the coal plants'
performance rather than
guaranteed annual payments with
no strings attached. If the money
is. paid out over too broad a period
of time it will water down its
value. Remember they are talking
about $170 million in today's
dollars.: Both issues, what exactly
the payments will be 'and the
payment time period, can prove to
be unreliable when planning
county budgets, thereby interfering
with the efficient planning and use
of the money, again reducing its
value.,
The coal plant will affect several
Economic factors that will cost the
county and city of Perry. Like
health care, property values, road
building and maintenance,
'environmental clean up, insurance
rates, legal and administrative
costs, government time spent on
issues that arise from the side
affects resulting in less time spent
on other public issues, and possible
lawsuits. That $170 million can be
washed away pretty quick,

power plant promoters?
Compromise from the
opposition comes in the form of
agreeing to such terms. It should
be apparent to them that there is no
meeting ground with the existing
commission as the proposal stands.
A state of the art coal plant for the
opposition would be the lesser of
the pollution problems and a win
for their efforts. It is known that in
compromise agreements there is
no single winner.
Failure on the part of the
commission to agree to such a
compromise could be grounds for
the opposition's future arguments
before the reviewing agencies and

Vis

possibly the courts. That such
findings of support for the "basic"
proposed power plant by the
commission and their refusal to
demand the most modern system
were in fact selective against the
citizen's health and welfare.
If a compromise were agreed
upon then a vote could be put
before the voters asking "which
type of power plant do you select?"
The commission would be wise to
recognize that such a vote would
appear to remove them from the
liability argument that of
inequitably endangering the
citizens of Taylor County.

Taylor County Big Bend
Hospice Family Support
Counselor John Peterson, MSW,
has announced that registration for
Camp Teen Woe-Be-Gone is
underway.
"This is 'a wonderful
opportunity for teens who have
experienced a loss to come
together for a day that can help
them process their grief. Space is
limited, so don't delay," he said.
The camp session will be held
Saturday, Oct. 14, from 8 a.m. to
5 p.m., at the Challenger Learning
Center in Tallahassee.
"What do grief and space travel
have in common? Teens ages 13-
18 who have experienced the death'
of a loved one can find out at this
innovative one-day grief camp,"
Peterson said.
"The Caring Tree Program of
Big Bend Hospice invites teens
ages 13-18 who have experienced
the death of a loved one to enjoy
this special day of inner and outer

Trained grief counselors and
volunteers will provide education
and support throughout the day."
The Caring Tree Program of Big
Bend Hospice is once again
partnering with the Challenger
Learning Center to host this year's
Teen Woe-Be-Gone.
"Campers will launch into
many fun and educational
activities throughout the day
including a simulated space
'mission,' arts and crafts, sharing
circles and a time of
remembrance," Peterson said.
He added that campers may
encounter themes such as feelings
of grief, facing change, coping
with stress, confidence building,
communication and teamwork.
Pre-registration. is required
since space is limited to 30
campers. If transportation to
Tallahassee is an issue for teens in
Taylor County, special
arrangements may be available.

A light breakfast, snacks, lunch
and t-shirts will be provided.
Teen Woe-Be-Gone is a free
community service of Big Bend
Hospice; however, donations to
the Caring Tree Program are
gratefully accepted.
"The Caring Tree helps people

overcome their grief and teaches
you how to cope efficiently."

Dawicke named court administrator

Chief Judge Julian Collins has
announced the appointment of
Barbara L. Dawicke of Gainesville
as the new trial court administrator
for the Third Judicial Circuit,
which consists of Columbia, Dixie,
Hamilton, Lafayette, Madison,
Suwannee and Taylor counties.
"It is difficult to say in a few
words what the Court
Administrator does," Collins said,
"but basically she and her staff are
the behind-the-scenes people who
make the court system work. The
court administrator works closely
-with the chief judge on the
development of the circuit's
budget, policies and programs, and
acts as the circuit's liaison to
local and statewide committees.
Additionally, the court
administrator and her staff are
responsible for implementing the
circuit's court programs,, managing
the judicial and courtroom
schedules, supervising court
reporting, providing court
interpreters when needed, and
coordinating and cooperating with
clerks of court, judicial assistants,
and security personnel. Court
administration is also responsible
for maintaining trial court statistics
and compiling reports for the state;
ensuring effective technological
support for our courts--and on and'
on. With the 2004 switchover of
the funding of the state court
system from counties to the state,
the role of the court administrator
has become increasingly crucial to
the efficient functioning of our
court systeri."
Dawicke brings to the position
her knowledge of court
management and operations,
derived from her legal training and
SeingYurome

experience. She holds a law
degree from the University of
Florida and, just prior to this
appointment, served in the Eighth
Judicial Circuit for two years as a
staff attorney and six years as a
senior manager in court operations.
Before that, she was a practicing

attorney with Jacksonville Area
Legal Aid, a biological scientist
and a volunteer with the Peace
Corps in central Africa.
"Ms. Dawicke was chosen by a
consensus of all the judges in this
circuit from a group, of well-
qualified applicants after two full

days of interviews," Judge Collins
noted.
"We are all looking forward to
working with her."
Dawicke took office in the
Columbia County Courthouse
Monday, Aug. 21. She can be
reached at (386) 719-2163.

To make a difference

1It just takes one!'

By MARK VIOLA
Staff writer
How would you like to be a
resource?
That was the question, asked to
Perry Rotary Club members by
Boys & Girls Club Director Kevin
Kidd at a recent meeting.
Kidd gave an update on the
club's summer programs as well as
highlights of their new campaign.
One of. their biggest programs
was their summer breakfast and
lunch program, serving some
17,00.0 meals, Kidd said.
"We had one kid who was taking
his lunch home because it was the
only meal he would have that day.
That's the kind of kids we have in
the Boys & Girls Club.
"We have kids with healthy
bellies. That's the kind of kids we'
have in the Boys & Girls Club."
According to Kidd, the club's
traveling basketball team traveled
to a NCAA tournament over the
summer.
"There were, college coaches
scouting kids there," he added.
Opportunities like the basketball
team and the drum core are in
addition to the club's education and
tutoring programs..
"We're looking for partners who
want to improve our community,"
Kidd said of their new campaign,
S"It Just Takes One."
"We want to help you help us,"
he said, adding that there are many

opportunities to donate not just
money but service.
"Some people want to donate
time. Some people want to donate
their talents. Some people want to
donate money.
"We're not asking for a handout.
We have good kids at the Boys &
Girls Club. They don't need a
handout; they need partners," Kidd
said.

"I'm tired of hearing our kids are
bad, they're not worth investing
in.
"If you think back, there's
something you wanted to do, but
didn't have the resources. And it's
not just money," he said.
"Sometimes it's just having
someone to get them there. That's
what .we are. We're. a resource to
get them there."

Scholarship honors John L. Dixon

.The Sandhill Hunt Club has established a
scholarship fund in honor of the late Johni L. Dixon.
"The Taylor County community. lost a good man this
past year with the death of John L. W\e are celebrating
his life with this scholarship fund in his memory. The
board and members of the club support this fund
for our youth to better themselves in life through
education. We are small club, but we have big
hearts, as John L. did. We want to 'help in our
children's future," Club President Ashley
Mock said..

The club will hold a barbecue chicken dinner
fund-raiser in support of the scholarship Saturday,
Sept 16, at P&D Barbecue (located in front of Kmart),
from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Walk-ins will be welcome.,
The cost will be $5 each and will include BBQ
chicken, two sides and a drink.,
For tickets, please contact any Sandhill board'
member or call Mock at 843-0566, Danny Anderson at
672-0034 or Bruce W. Sessler Jr. at (352) 620-5001.
"Please come out and support us in this event for a
great cause," Mocksaid. '

The Suwannee River Water
Management District (SRWMD)
has announced a new program by
which it will provide city and
county building departments with
the computers and software to
access parcel information digitally.
Paul Buchanan, Geographic
Information Systems (GIS)
'coordinator for SRWMD,
explained the purpose of the
program while demonstrating the
new software at a recent luncheon
held in Perry.
As part of the program,
participating municipalities will be
provided with a computer, the
software and a printer, as well as
,training. According to Buchanan,
both Taylor County and the City of
Perry have signed up. for the
program.
Using Lafayette County as an
.example, he was -able to search for
parcels by the owner and then pull
up a rhap of the property. Overlaid
over the boundaries was
information regarding flood, zones,
wetlands, surface water,
topography, Federal Emergency
Management (FEMA) Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) and

river floodways.
The new S'.'fiaol c will :allo
overtaxed building departments in'
the district to become more
efficient, Buchanan said.
"People can come in and quickly
analyze information about a
parcel," he added.
According to Taylor County
Engineer Kenneth Dudley,
although the county i's already
offering some of these services
now, he is' willing to accept the
additional help from the district.
Buchanan said their goal is to
have the program up and running
by, the ,new fiscal year, which'
begins Oct. 1. ..
The Taylor County Commission
officially approved participating in
the project at their board meeting
last week.
According to the agreement,
SRWMD will provide the
hardware, software and printer at a

cost up to $5,999, and the county
will -ibge.t $4.00 for software,
maintenance and -computer
supplies.
FEMA announced last week that
