Earthquake tremors felt here

An earthquake with a magnitude
of 5.9 'rumbled in the Gulf of
Mexico Sunday morning sending
tremors felt as well far away as
South Carolina and creating fears
along the coast of a possible
tsunami.
The earthquake, which struck
253 miles south southwest of
Apalachicola at 10:56 a.m., was
one of the largest in the Gulf of
Mexico in recent times.
According to the U.S.
Geological Survey, four people
from Taylor County reported
feeling the morning rumbles--three

in Perry and one in
Steinhatchee.
In all, more than 5,000 people
from across the southeast reported
feeling the quake.
Shortly after the news broke
Sunday of the quake, Taylor
County Emergency Management
officials began receiving calls
from concerned citizens regarding
the possibility of a tsunami
striking the county's coastline.
The Taylor County .office
received confirmations from state
officials "within minutes" that
there was nothing to worry about,

said Taylor .County Public
Information Officer Mandy
Cornelius.
"The Gulf is shallow," Cornelius
said. "It would have to be a
tremendous earthquake to, cause
large waves. A 6.0 earthquake
would not cause any significant
waves."
Comparing this earthquake to
the 2004 Indian Ocean quake
which created a tsunami which
killed more than 200,000 people,
Cornelius said "we would not see
that here."
While earthquakes in the Gulf of

Mexico are rare, they do

Chamber secures county funding
am er u :'! n

The Perry/Taylor County
Chamber of Commerce will not be
included in the county's proposed
lump sum donation to United Way
for non-profit organizations.
Instead, the chamber will receive
its $15,000 contribution directly
from the county.
-This was one of two changes
made to the county's budget for the
2006-07 fiscal year during the first
-of two public hearings scheduled
fQr the Taylor County

Commission.
Commissioners decided. during
budget hearings held. in July to
remove their contributions to local.
non-profit groups and instead
make one donation to United Way,
allowing the organization to
distribute the money instead.
Chamber Director Dawn Taylor
and Chairman Sandy Manning
addressed the board, asking that
the chamber be removed from the
United Way donation, calling the

county's $15,000 "critical."
The economic' impact to the
county over the past several years
from- chamber-sponsored events,
including the Florida., State
Bluegrass Festival, has exceeded
$6 million, Taylor said.
Commissioner Jack Brown
questioned, how the chamber
benefits the county, asking, "Why
should I give you tax payers'
money?"
Taylor and.Manning pointed out

.that the chamber helps bring new
residents to the county by
promoting Taylor County as well
as assisting the hospital and, other
businesses in recruiting new
employees.
Brown then made a motion to
approve removing the chamber
from the $100,000 United Way
donation. Commissioner Pat
Patterson seconded and the
measure passed 3-0.
Commissioner Clay, Bethea was

out of town and Commissioner
Malcolm Page had to leave the
meeting early for a doctor's
appointment.
The chamber was the only non-
profit organization (affected by the
change) to appear at the hearing.
Requests from nonprofit groups

double the $113,000 of
disbursements in the current fiscal

Billy Wright

presented the award during
.morning ceremonies held at the
forestry association's annual
meeung last week in Destin.
He was chosen from a slate
of nominees from across the,
state.
"Ranger Billy Wright knows the
value of outreach and education.
Every year, Wright makes a point
to reach every fifth grader in the
county .school system with both
interactive classroom experiences
and field trips that introduce
them to almost every aspect of
forestry, including history, land
management, fire prevention,
prescribed burning and wildlife,"
forestry association representative
Erin Glover said.
."He is also the creator of some
significant and useful historical
documentation on forestry in
Florida. His work includes 'A
Photographic ,History of Forest-
Fire Fighting, Equipment in
Florida,' 'A Photographic History
of the Florida Division of Forestry.'
and.'numerous wooden display

boards featuring Florida's forest
history that are regularly used at
the Florida Forestry Discovery
Center at the Florida State Fair in
Tampa."
In addition to his outreach
activities, Wright is also an
extremely knowledgeable and
skilled wildland firefighter
with more than 26 years of
experience, Glover said.
He also actively assists
the county forester with
landowner assistance in various
capacities.
"We are very proud of Billy and
all of his accomplishments,
especially in forest education. He
is one of those rare employees who
does these things because he wants
to--not because he has to. He has
done so much to promote forest
education on all levels, for both
adults and especially school
children. It is good to see he has
been recognized on the statewide
level for his :accomplishments,"
DOF Perry Districi Manager John
Fish said.

Gilbreath said.
"I asked him where he was
coming from and he said he was
coming from Taylor County High
School," he added.
Mendelson was a contracted
behavioral specialist, working with
disadvantaged children in the
Taylor school district, who has
since been ,dismissed, according to
Director of Personnel Clyde Cruce.
When asked where he was
going, Mendelson said he was
returning to Tallahassee.
Gilbreath theh asked him why he
would turn off of the four-lane'
which would take him straight to
Tallahassee, and take a small
country dirt road which goes back
into the woods.
According to Gilbreath, the man
said, "Ahhh, I guess to get familiar
with the area."
Gilbreath then asked him why he
was familiarizing himself with the
area and he replied, "Ahhh, I don't

know again."
"The officer then told him that
some of his statements and
his shaking were making
him suspicious that he was
hiding something, either in
the car or on him," Gilbreath
added.
At this point, TCSO K-9 Off.
Harper Gibson, along with canine
partner, Jeremiah, conducted a
"free-air sniff" around
Mendelson's car, and the canine
alerted. Mendelson was advised
that his car would be searched.
"While I was searching the
vehicle, the driver said it was in his
first aid kit," said Gilbreath. "I
asked what was in the first aid kit,
and he said, 'marijuana.'
"When I opened the kit, I found
a plastic bag, which contained the
illegal drug and Mendelson was
arrested and charged with
possession of less than 20 grams of
cannabis," said Gilbreath.
The suspect was placed under
arrest and taken to the county jail
with charges of possession of less

than 20 grams of cannabis.
Another nine people were
charged with various illegal
activity; some arrested and some
given notices to appear.
TCSO Cpt. Richard Johnson
said they were using the mock
drug checkpoints to curtail drug
traffic through Taylor County,
"whether it be those who have
some marijuana for their own
personal use, or, like recently, at
another check point, when over 40
bags of cocaine and a large amount
of drug money were seized.
"If we keep on and keep on, the
word will spread among those who
travel with illegal drugs--they are
exactly that--illegal," Johnson
added.
"Sheriff Williams has told us to
do what we have to do during this
drug war, and that's just what it is,"
Johnson added, "a war. With some
of the new tools we have, like
these mock check points, we are
clearly making a dent and
giving people something to think
about."

earmarked for outdoor restrooms
at the Steinhatchee Community
Center to an advanced life support
(ALS) system.
Currently there is one
ambulance stationed in
Steinhatchee which has basic life
support (BLS) equipment.
According to Doctors' Memorial
Hospital CEO Rick Brown, who
was present at the hearing, the cost
to upgrade the BLS equipment in
the ambulance to an ALS system
would run approximately $50,000.,

www.bcfcu.coop or come to our
1825 S. Jefferson St.

New personnel and training to
have staff available to operate the
equipment, however, would cost
an additional several hundred
thousand.dollars.
After some discussion,; Brown
made a motion to allocate the
$30,000 as well as an additional
$20,000 from the general fund to
cover the costs of the ALS
equipment. Page seconded and the
measure passed 4:0.

" T S TD e'E a A dis

Recently, I presented an expose of the Pledge ofAllegiance to ouryouth at
First Baptist Church. If we attend school 180 days a year and we go through
K-12 grades, we recite this 31 word essay 2,340 times. Not included are
those times at different organization meetings, assemblies, etc.

It became a burden to me for myself and others who recite this pledge
practically on a daily basis to really understand what it says. Words such as
"pledge, allegiance, republic, justice and liberty" are not used in everyday
conversation. I learned a lot as you do when you're the teacher doing the
research.

The word that intrigued me most was the word "liberty." The Merriam
Webster dictionary defines it as, "The positive enjoyment of various social,
political or economic rights and privileges; the power of choice." A synonym
of the word liberty is freedom. Yet, there is a difference. Freedom allows
one to do whatevyer-they want, whereas liberty specifies the freedom to do
what is as a nation with positive results.

n nof the lihberties we are nrivileg'ed to have is the right to VOTE. We iust

had our primary election here in Taylor County. Actually, the'percentage of
voter participation increased to approximately 40%. That means that there
are still 60% of eligible voters not participating. Over one half of the people
have NO VOICE!

There are decisions being made at the city, county, state and federal levels
that affect each of us everyday! Laws concerning the planning of our city of
Perry and Taylor County are made by elected officials. Be a part of the
solution by voting in the General Election on Nov. 7, 2006. Call the Supervisor
of Elections office at 850-838-3515 if you are not registered to vote. You
owe it to yourself and the other citizens of our great county, to have a voice
to be heard so we all may continue to enjoy these liberties!

Then God said, "Letthe waters under the heavens be gathered Into one place,

Marianna tops Bulldogs

Friday night's "Battle of the
Bulldogs" with Marianna started
off on the wrong foo; for Ti',l or
County and got progress..'.i'l,'
worse.
Marianna (2-1) took the opcningt
drive 80 yards in eight plans, to
score just 2:15 into the Lamer
"They were aided by a cruciL-i
facemrask penalty that extended the
drive after Jarvis McGrew appc -ird
to make a key 3rd down ;sop
After falling behind '-0. Ta:, lor
County (0-3) managed to pick up
only one yard in three pl3as and
lost starting QB-Marquis Ellhi tor
the remainder of the game % hen he
was injured on a 3rd and 11
scramble.
Despite the early deficit and
crippling injury to their offensive
leader, Taylor had numerous
opportunities to pull out their first
victory' 'of the season, but
committed an astonishing 10
"turnovers and 11 penalties for
minus 95 yards.
Back-tp QB freshman Ty
Crowley gave a valiant effort,
completing 8 of 25 passes for 129
yards and a touchdown, but threw
three second-half interceptions,
lost two fumbles and was sacked
five times for negative 28 yards.'
Despite the turnovers, Taylor
County scored back-to-back
touchdowns in the beginning of
the fourth quarter and was driving
at the Marianna 30 with a chance
to pull within 7 when Crowley
was picked off for the second time
P: of the half.
After'the Taylor defense held,
Crowley moved Taylor to the 40,
but was sacked and fumbled to set
up a Marianna touchdown three
plays later. On Taylor's very next
offensive play Crowley was picked
off again and the interception was
returned 45 yards for a touchdown
to make the final score 42-14.
wEllis suffered a knee injury
When he took akhelmet to the leg
after two-yard -scramble on the
very first series of the game. His
status for future games was
uncertain pending evaluation this
week.
The first quarter continued to be
disastrous for Ta lor Count\. as
Marianna drove down to the 31-
yard line before Taylor linebacker
Georgie Armstrong picked off a
4th and 6 pass at his own 25-yard
line. Armstrong returned the
interception 15 yards to the 40-
* yard line where he was tackled and
fumbled the ball back to
Marianna.
Five plays later Marianna scored
on a 26-yard TD pass to take a 16-
0 lead after their .second tiwo-point'
-O conversion.
Chad Ellis returned the kickoff
* 20 yards to the Taylor 30, but-
Bryckoski Jackson was stuffed for
no, gain and could not handle a
` hard hand-off from Crowley and
fumbled ,,the ball. away to
Marianna. .
SArmstrong made up for his
fumble by forcing one of his own
on a big 3rd and 3 play,, allowing
McGrew to fall on the loose ball
for Taylor.
Jackson ran for 13 on first down
and Crowley hit Armstrong for a.
seven-yard pass before 'Crowley
fired a-quick pitch to Jackson that
-',,bounced off of his shoulder pads
for the Bulldogs' third lost fumble.,
Sof the first quarter.
Marianna picked up three first
downs before Taylor linebacker
Jake Meacham intercepted a pass
from Marianna QB Brandon
Gardner at the five-yard-line.
However, in what seemed to be a
bad case of deja-vu Meacham
fumbled as he was flipped upside-
- down on the tackle and Marianna
:- recovered their fourth Taylor
Fumble of the first half. ,

miscue, driving the remaining 10'
yards in three plays before scoring
on a one-yard plunge to take a 22-
0 lead after Cody Davis stopped
Marianna runningback Phillip
Sylvester short on a two-point
conversion run.
Taylor's next drive was marred
by penalties after Crowley found
Greg Sneed for a 12-yard
completion. Head Coach Price

Harris promised some exciting
new looks in his pre-game report
and unveiled a seven-receiver
formation with just the center,
two tackles and QB lined up in
their normal positions.

McGrew stopped Marianna on
their next drive, but despite big

field goal attempt by Crowley,
who had plenty of leg, but pushed
the kick just wide left.
Sneed and L.J., Blount helped
stop Marianna's next drive, but a
12-Nard completion to Sneed was
followed by t o more dropped
passes and Taylor getting hit w ith
another procedure penalty for
lining ,up wrong in the seven-
receiver spread formation.

Marianna drove down to the
five-yard line (thanks :to a
roughing the passer penalty on
Taylor on the last play of the hal f)
and just missed a touchdown pass
on the free e\tra play. d

Chad Ellis had a big 23-yard
return to start the second half,
before Jackson followed 'big
blocks from Armstrone and
Meacham (ho joined him in the
"full house", backfield formation),
as well as Adam Cook and Drew
Southerland to pickup 19 yards
on three carries.
Working out of the new: two-

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?No. 16

JESUS WOULD NOT GLORY IN
RELIGIOUS TITLES

By Jeff Himmel

From my earliest days of preaching the gospel, I've
met people now and then who insist on calling me
"Reverend" Himmel. That always makes me
uncomfortable --no, queasy would be more accurate
because Jesus tells us not to do that very thing.

My dictionary says "reverend" is an adjective that
means "worthy of profound awe and respect." Now,
there may be some folks who respect me, but I'm
quite sure I do not deserve anyone's "profound awe."

Of course, people who call me "Reverend" do it
because they think that's what you're supposed to call
:'a preacher. But who decided that?: In"older
translations of the Bible the word "reverend," appears
only once as a description ofGod Himself: "Holy
and reverend is his name" (Psalm 111:9). Newer
translations render the word "awesome" or "fearful."
Such a majestic description of the power of God
sounds ridiculous when tacked onto the names of
men. What else but human pride could create such a
mismatch?

Jesus spoke in. strong terms against the kind of
attitude that delights in religious titles. He denounced
those who gloried in being called "Rabbi," "Father,"
and "Teacher" (Matthew 23:6-10). The words:
themselves were not wrong, but using them as titles
of honor most definitely was. (Aren't the terms
"Doctor" and "Professor" used in a very similar
fashion by preachers today?) Jesus pointed His
disciples instead to humility: "But the greatest among
you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts
himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles
himself shall be exalted" (Matthew 23:11-12).

Sometimes, scriptural terms such as "elder,"
"bishop," or "pastor" are abused in the same way. In
the New Testament these words are used to describe
the men responsible for leading and overseeing a
local church (see Acts 20:17,28; 1 Peter 5:1-3f_
Timothy 3:1-7: Titus 1:5-9). They are spiritual job
descriptions, not titles of rank.

Even a common Christian term like "brother"
becomes a title of sorts if we apply it only to certain
people, such as evangelists or elders. All true
Christians are brothers in Christ, servants of God and
of each other (Matthew 23:8 ). Why should I be called
"Brother Jeff" and some other member of God's
family just be called "Tom?"

We are called to follow the Son of God, "who,
although He existed in the form of God, did not regard
equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied
Himself, taking the form of a bondservant"
(Philippians 2:6,7). The wearing of high-sounding
religious titles is the very opposite of that servant
spirit that Jesus demonstrated for us.

Gold Wingers thank community

Dear Editor:
My husband and I were in Perry
Aug. 31 Sept. 3 for the Gold
Wing Road Riders Association
Region A Rally.
We had a wonderful time and
wanted to thank the citizens of
Perry for their warm hospitality.
We had several people stop us to
tell us how happy they were to
have us there.

I was so impressed at the block
party Friday night, truly the
highlight of our weekend! It's just
as you would see on TV, most of
the town showing up, kids dancing
in the street right along with the
older folks everyone just having a
fun time.
It was great. Your community
treated us like we were part of the
Perry family.

We look forward to next year

Editor's Note: The Aug. 9 editorial,
in question was completed prior to the
Aug. 7 county commission meeting.
Dear Editor:
Your, editorial in the Times
dated Aug. 9, is obviously aimed at
my presentation to the county
commissioners at their Aug. 7
meeting. Although I appreciate
being chosen for your editorial I
believe you have missed the point.
1. The data is old--1990 and
2000 or 2002 data does not reflect
the county as it is today, nor as it
will be in 6-10 years
2. The data was obtained from
the web site Florida Charts--a web
site anyone can access and in a
matter of minutes see what is being
sold to the county with a $30,000
price tag. You can get it free.
Anyone with a little computer
knowledge, and a 'bif of
wordsmithing can do the same.
What counties do you want to
compare? It can be done, very
easily.'
:3. Healthy Development did not
make the 500 Taylor County calls.
2002 Behavioral Risk Factors

Surveillance Telephone Survey
conducted -by the Florida
Department of Health, Bureau of
Epidemiology made them.
Overall, 34,551 adults were
randomly selected and interviewed
for the survey; about 500. adults
were surveyed.in each county.
4. The data is a\good tool for
improving the schools; if you want
to use four-year-old statistics.
They slipped from the 17th lowest
in the state in 1990 to the 16th
lowest in the state in 2000. Where
are they today? This was not,
shown. Did Healthy Development
take the time. and initiative to
contact the school system to
determine its state standing today?
How can you project what will be
good for the county in the next six
years if you don't use current data?
5. The data source for high
school graduates over 25 is

obtained from the US Census
Bureau; populations for
denominators are from. the US
Census.
6. The health of the county is
based on 2002 data, and yes we
have smokers. The data presented
did not mention those that quit
smoking (56.6%) in the last 12
months. Our quitters exceed the
state average of 55.3%.
7. For the population 30 and
over, our obesity rate is higher than
state averages, 30.4% for the
county and 22.3% for the state:
However, there are very wealthy
counties in the state where the over-
30 population can afford to go to
gyms. The 25-30 groups when
surveyed for overweight are 35.0%
for the county and 35.1 % for the
state. Obviously ._,omeihing is

How many of you' have tried to
get help, or at leant tried to get an
answer on the phone? Well that is
what happened to me. I had,
contacted them on a Tuesday and
she informed me she only had
funds for people that had a
disconnect notice and for me to
call back when I got mine to see if
she still had funds.
When I got it that's what I did. I
called every 20 minutes from 8
a.m. to 4 p.m. and left four
messages. Nobody returned my
calls to let me know whether they
even had funds or not. I thought it
was very rude and inconsiderate
that she didn't even have the
courtesy to pick up the phone and
call me back.,
This is not the first time this has
happened. On one occasion, she
told me to call her in August to
make an appointment, and when I
called she had already booked her
appointments for August.
I don't expect anything to
change, I just wanted the people of
Taylor County that they are not
alone. Maybe one day we will get
someone in there that cares about
us instead of picking and choosing
who the funds go to.

Letters to the Editor

Supporting a study without new data is 'down right foolish'

STUDY
Continued from page B-2
being done right in this age
grouping. Remember this is 2002
data. The health status of adults at
their jobs, mostly sitting or
standing, is better in Taylor
County: 51.5% for our county
compared to 62.8% for the state.
Our population is projected as
overweight, underpaid and lazy--a
picture I take objection to. Do you
honestly think a pulverized coal
power plant will correct all that. is
wrong in the county? If the
schools, health department and
county government took into
account the data that is being
presented. and made improvements,
you would not have to rely on a
business telling you what to do.
Don't think an industry like TEC
will make it "all better." This
mistake is not going to go away.
with the promise of millions and
additional education from TTI and
the community college.
Schools should:

1. Reinstate PE at all levels.
2. Have classes on the dangers of
alcohol and smoking
3. Educate younger children with
nutrition classes and exercise
classes. If the state can afford Pre-

K it can certainly afford to get
these youngsters on the right path
to fitness, good health and better
study habits.
Supporting a study that is not
going to produce new data is down

right foolish. From my stand point
I expect nothing from this HIA, as
they have already stated they are
not going to do impact studies of
the toxins from a coal fired plant
and Buckeye. Together these

plants will make Taylor County the
dirtiest county in the state, and
probably rank high in the entire
country. What an honor!
You may think you have the pot
o' gold, when all you will have is

'Unhappy citizen' upset at Medicai(

Dear Editor:
This is coming from a very
unhappy citizen in the State of
Florida. I have put up with so
much since I have been here.
So for starters I would like to
address Medicaid for the working
family. There needs to be some
changes made; I have contacted the
governor over this and still waiting
to hear something back.
I work 40-43 hours a week, have
two children to take care of and I'm
barely making it. I have two health
problems, asthma and a heart

condition, so I need health
insurance. My prescriptions alone
cost $600 a month.
Because I work, I have a share of
cost with Medicaid, which is
$1,135 a month. Not a year. Well I
had a asthma attack along with
heat exhaustion last month and I
was taken to the hospital here in
Perry. I had to pay out of my
pocket the day after to get the
medicine I needed and to go see
my doctor. Over a year and a half
ago, the state did reimburse you for
that. I have been informed they no

longer do that. Of course I called
three different numbers to finally
get an answer.
Boy, I feel like I am being
punished for actually working.
Now if I did not work, I would
have all the insurance in the world.
This does not seem right to me and
I would really like to talk with
someone about trying to get these
laws changed.
I am sure I am not the only one.
Now as for the power company,
man this fuel charge is killing me.
Might as well put me in my grave

now. I was told by them they have
to charge us this.
Well my question is this, why
can some companies charge the
maximum of $30 and this company
is charging me $150. Someone is.
making money off of us, even
though they say they are not. The
government needs to step in and
stop this.
Last but not least, the FCAT. I
have had nothing but troubles with
TCES. This year my daughter's
teachers are already behind, so
they are shoving this into our

fools gold.
This response to your editorial is
later than I would like, however I
have been out of town.

d,FCAT

children whether they understand
it or not. Every child learns at their
own pace, and I don't think this is
right or fair to my daughter's
education which supposedly is the
top priority in this state.
My daughter was involved in a
situation with two other children,
one had dared her to do something
and of course -she was the one
caught, so she, got ISS. Now as a
parent, if the stories are all
different between these children,

Letters to the Editor

Beach signs should say 'do not swim'

Dear Editor;
In response to the article in the
Perry Newspaper by Mr. James
Rachal, environmental manager,
Taylor County Health Department,
concerning bad water report at the
beaches.
Mr..Rachel stated that they were
not aware of any infections from
the pollutants in the waters at the
beaches in Taylor County for the
past 10 years. In 2005 a young man
came to Steinhatchee to scallop
with his father. They went by boat
to Hagens Cove, where the young
man went into the water to scallop.
He went back home and became
ill. Three days later he died. He
died from infections from the
pollution in the water at Hagens

Dear Editor:
After scalloping, fishing,
Sii in; in the area of Steinhatchee,
Keaton Beach, Hot Dog Stand and
' Birf-4sland, conversation came up
aboutlocal taxes, good old boys in
power, eminent domain and the hpt
cattle wars of 1892-1911.
-City government is broken.
Keaton Beach, Dekle Beach,
Steinhatchee--taxes have gone up
1,000 percent. To help Perry get

Cove, as per the officials at the
hospital.
One reason that the Taylor
County Health Department could
be unaware of infections caused by
swimming at the beaches may be
because about 95% of the
scallopers are from other counties
in Florida and other states. They do
not get sick until they get back
home. Then they go to a clinic or a
hospital in their hometown.
If the health department doesn't
check on a regular basis with the
hospital and clinics in our area nor
the communicable disease agency
in this area, they will not know
about all those who do get sick.
I think that the health department
should put up signs in all the

out of the hole? Power brokers,
will yot ,now use eminent domain
to take away families of five
generations' lands and home? No
more fishermen or boat
launching?

marinas, public boat ramps, and in
all the popular scalloping areas.
The signs in the coves should be
able to be seen from a boat in the
surf as well as the entrances to the
coves. These signs should read
"Water Polluted Do Not Swim" and
should be large enough to be seen
for a distance of 100 feet.
In my opinion, most misleading
to the public is that the officials at
the health department do not seem
to want, to accept the notices that

were posted on the TV. I hope that
it is not because they think that the
postings may hurt the amount of
money that is generated by
scalloping during the season.
Mr. Rachel stated that the mud
under the water would hold the
bacteria three times longer than the
water. I wonder if the health
department stirs up the mud before
they take a sample to be tested so
as to get a true reading.
