A pair of ethics complaints filed
against Taylor County
Commissioner Clay Bethea and
former Commissioner Daryll
Gunter were dismissed Friday by
the Florida Commission on Ethics.
The complaints were filed by
William Rick Causey, who in July
qualified to become a member of
the Taylor Soil and Water
Conservation District Board of
Supervisors. They stem from an

Her face shining with
excitement, the little girl dropped
flat on the ground and began
waving her arms and legs back and
forth...making her very first snow
angel.
Bubbling over with smiles, she
jumped up, ran to her mother and
shouted, "Look what I did!"
It was a scene played out time
and again Friday night during the
annual Downtown Christmas on
the Square and Festival of Lights,
which hosted its very first snow
play area. (See related story page

event held Sept. 28 at the Perry
Elks Lodge sponsored by the
developers behind the Magnolia
Bay Marina and Resort project.
Although ethics complaints are
usually held confidential until an
investigation has been conducted
by the commission, both Gunter
and Bethea waived their
confidentiality rights and made
statements through their lawyer
William Blue after receiving the

"We didn't know really what to
expect from the play area and just
weren't fully prepared for the
tremendous response. However,
we are very pleased with the
turnout and are already working on
plans for next year," Tuten said.
"Our goal was to bring people to
the area and that's just what
happened. It was wonderful," she
said.
Holiday cheer filled every
corner of downtown, from horse
rides at City Park to the ringing of
silver bells by the First Baptist
Church Joy Bell Ringers.
Classic cars and hot rods cruised
in, sharing the street with a horse
and carriage. Not to be outdone
were two billy goats pulling a
custom-built wagon. Archie Austin
handled the reins for the goats.

Local businessman

faces drug charges

A Perry businessman has been
arrested and charged with
,possession of cocaine, stemming
from a search of his home in
August.
According to reports filed by
various law enforcement officers,
witnesses came forward with
information that illegal drug
activity was taking place at the
Woods Creek Road residence of
Robert Owen Kellow, 38.
One witness, who had been
living at the home for several
months, reported that Kellow had
"gotten up that morning and began
jumping on her and was throwing.
things at her," according to Perry
Police Department Ptl. Gene
Franklin.
A domestic Violence report was
filed on the incident.

Franklin contacted PPD Ptl.
Gina Deeson and asked her to go
to the residence and detain Kellow
on domestic violence charges,
while a search warrant for the
premises could be acquired.
"When I arrived at the Kellow
home," said Deeson, "PPD Ptl.
Lindsey Shaw and I approached
the front door. Kellow stepped out
of the residence, followed by a
minor.
"I told Kellow that he was being
detained to await Taylor County
Sheriffs Office Dep. Brian Cruse,
in reference to domestic violence.
Kellow, who had begun emptying
his pockets, then gave the items to
the minor and said, 'Take my stuff
in the house and hide it. That is the

Blue said he and his clients were
alerted that the cases were on the
agenda for the commission's
meeting held Friday in Tallahassee
and were present to hear the
decision.
If the complaints had not been
public due to Bethea's and Gunter's
waiver of confidentiality, the items
would not have been on the public
agenda or heard during the public

Following its staffs
recommendations, the commission
voted unanimously to dismiss both
complaints while considering the
"legal sufficiency" of the cases.
"Truth and justice were served
and the dignity of two fine men
was upheld against slanderous and
politically-motivated accusations,"
Blue said Tuesday.

Crowds of waiting children could hardly contain their excitement as the first few layers of snow "fell" in downtown

(TCI).
The stirring sentiment of "Silent
Night" filled the square, led by
soloist Aimee Roberts, who also
sang the national anthem.
Members of the Sweetwater
Bluegrass band donned Santa hats
and entertained with song after
song.

"The Commission on Ethics
found that Mr. Causey's
allegations weren't credible," he
said.
Blue added that following the
commission's decision, he asked
them to retain jurisdiction so he
could attempt to impose sanctions
(including lawyer's fees) on
Causey for the complaints.

TEC group?

Utility officials are
recommending that the
Tallahassee City Commission
adopt a 20-year energy plan that
includes the city's continued
participation in the Taylor Energy
Center (TEC).
Commissioners could vote on
the plan at their meeting
Wednesday which gets underway
at 4 p.m.
In a seven-page report
Tallahassee's utility department
examined numerous energy issues
and investigated the use of
Integrated Gasification Combine

The report-noted that an IGCC

Gary Lee Williams

WPRY owner dies at 61

Three years ago, Gary Lee
Williams moved to Perry to fulfill
a dream--owning and operating his
own radio station.
Bulldog 1400 WPRY allowed
him to do not only that, but to also
give countless good causes within
Taylor County a voice.
And it was his voice that many

people heard when they tuned in to
a Taylor County High School
Bulldog football game.
Williams died Saturday, Dec. 2.
He was 61.
"He was gracious guy to work
with, easy going, fair and honest to
everyone," said J.L. Hodges, of the
Hodges Hall of Fame show which

%--ia~~i ""gse~

Gary Lee Williams was a familiar voice to WPRY 1400
listeners, which aired coverage of TCHS Bulldog football
games and various other youth sports.

airs every Saturday on WPRY.
"From what he told me, he had
been in the supermarket business
all his life, found this radio station
for sale, bought it and wanted to
just have some fun--and we did."
"Gary came to Perry for his
dream, to buy and operate a radio
station. His wife, Ellen and
daughter, Sara, followed him soon
after. He had two hobbies,
spending time with family and
radio. He went to Wild Adventures
every Saturday. He wasn't
flamboyant, but once you got to
know him, you couldn't help but
respect him. He was a very giving
person and gave free air time to the
Boys & Girls Club and other good
causes. He truly loved Perry and
the people' here," said Melvin
Parker, who worked with Williams
from his arrival as general
manager.
Born in Auburn, N.Y., and
coming to Perry from Shaftsbury,
Vt., Williams was a member of the
Kiwanis Club and the Boys &
Girls Club.
The family will receive visitors
at Burns Funeral Home today
(Wednesday), from 6-8 p.m.
Funeral services will be held in
Shaftsbury Monday, Dec. 11.

Owner/barista Shelley Blanco, joined by her husband, Rudy, and children, Hannah and Noah,
celebrated the grand opening of Perry's first Internet cafe, Espresso Yourself! A ribbon-
cutting ceremony marking the occasion was held Friday, Dec. 1, in conjunction with the
Downtown Christmas on the Square.

Merchants around the square
shared glowing reports of the
night's shopping success.
"You can be sure that next year's

Kellow was then placed in cuffs
and escorted to Deeson's police
cruiser.
i"I was then told by Ptl. Franklin
that another individual, known as
Sparkplug, a white male, who had
active warrants, was supposed to
be inside the pool house, next to
the home.

about "Sparkplug."

Use caution

Purse snatchings on the rise

With purse snatchings and thefts
becoming more prevalent, the
Perry Police Department gives the
following tips:
If you put your purse in a
shopping cart, put it in the bottom,
underneath the child seat and
closest to you. If you have a purse
with a strap, keep your hands on it
or keep it on your shoulder with
your hand on it as much as
possible.

When you get to your car, make
sure your purse is the first thing
you put in.
But most of all, be aware of your
surroundings and the people
around you. Be wary of a
suspicious person walking toward
you with no items in their hands,
especially in a parking lot.
"You can't go through life
scared, every time you go to a
store, but it's just a fact that purse

snatchings and thefts from store
buggies go on all the time, even in
Perry. Ninety-nine percent of the
people are decent and honest, but
then there's always that one
percent you have to watch out for.
"If you leave your purse in a cart
and are shopping without paying it
close attention, you are a target,"
she added. "You only have to turn
your head for a moment for it to
disappear."

Causey cedes to commission's ruling

CHARGES DISMISSED
Continued from page 1
The commission decided to
retain jurisdiction for 30 days and
Blue indicated he would file before
the deadline.
"The Commission on Ethics is
retaining jurisdiction over this
matter to determine whether Mr.
Causey should be penalized for
bringing this frivolous action,"
Blue said.
According to the complaints,
which are identical other than the
names, Causey alleges he went to
the Sept. 28 event and was told to
leave by Magnolia Bay developer
Chuck Olson. He alleges Olson

then struck him during an
altercation.
Causey states in the complaints,
"I turned to County Commissioner
Clay Bethea, told him Mr. Olson
hit me in the face. He did not say
anything; he just turned and left
the meeting. He told us at another
meeting that he left at the time of
the incident.
"After the incident, Chairman
Daryll Gunter arrived at the
meeting, but left when he heard
about the incident," Causey
continued in his statement of facts
for the complaint.
"At the next county commission
meeting, on Oct. 2, Clay Bethea
described what he had seen as

immoral and probably criminal.
Three of the five county
commissioners said they received
invitations to the forum.
"Dr. [J. Crayton] Pruitt now
claims that he hosted the meeting
and paid for everything.
"If this is the case, three
commissioners were invited to a
private meeting to discuss
Magnolia Bay Marina and Resort,
a development that they will have
to make many decisions on in the
near future. Had the incident
with me not have taken place, two
commissioners would have
been in attendance at the same
time."
On Oct. 18, Blue sent letters on
behalf of Gunter and Bethea
requesting Commission on Ethics
Executive Director Bonnie
Williams dismiss the complaints
"on th hat the allegations of
the complaint are not legally
sufficient to indicate a possible
violation of any law over which
the commission has any
jurisdiction.
"The complaint fails to allege a
violation of the law over which the
commission has jurisdiction," Blue
continued. "The complaint does
not even attempt to identify any
'particular provision of Article II,
Section 8, Florida Constitution...
.or a Part III, Chapter 112, Florida
Statutes' that have allegedly been
violated."
"Whatever the ethics
commission came up with would
be the correct decision," Causey
said Tuesday.

commercial operation," the report
states.
The report further says that the
turbines are niot Iexpected to be
commercially available until about
2014 and that an IGCC unit
would not be operational until
2018.
"IGCC technology continues to
indicate strong potential for its
future application in the electric
power industry. However, there are
a number of factors that make it
inadvisable to recommend as a

preferred resource alternative for
the city at this time," the report
states.
Commissioners have approved
spending $6.4 million to remain
involved in TEC through the
permitting process, projected to be
in 2008.
Tallahassee would own about
20 percent of TEC while several
other utilities from around the state
would control the remainder.
TEC officials are scheduled to
go before the Public Service
Commission next month in order
to seek approval to proceed with
the $1.5 billion project.

By POLLY WALLER

Timothy Egan's "The Worst
Hard Time: The Untold Story of
Those Who Survived the Great
American Dust Bowl" recently
won the National Book Award for
2006. My Mother has encouraged
me to review this book since'last
January. She received it as a
Christmas gift last year and passed
it on to me when she was done.
Since then, it's been passed around
to sundry friends and family and is
often a subject of conversation in
our family circle. Hard times
impress us.
My late Aunt Verdie Outler used
to tell stories about the sky turning
a dark brownish color over the
community of Carbur during the
summer of 1935. The news of the
day said it was coming from the
dust storms out west. A storm that
powerful, that could lift the prairie
dirt and take it thousands of miles
to a little logging community in
Florida, was a force of nature to
induce awe .in even a hurricane
savvy Floridian.
Up until the time I read Egan's
book, most of what I knew about
the Dust Bowl consisted of those
stories and what Steinbeck so
poignantly portrayed in his
"Grapes of Wrath." (By the way, if
you haven't read this novel, do.)
But the people Steinbeck wrote
about fled the horrors of the Dust
Bowl. Egan tells of the people who
stayed.
They were mostly wheat farmers
and they came to the southwestern
plains with tractors and grand
hopes of farming the endless.
prairie. During the 1920's, farming
was good. Rain blessed the
windswept plains and the price of
grain skyrocketed. With their
profits, they bought more
equipment and plowed even more
fields. A seemingly endless stream
of farmers flooded into this area of
west Texas, Kansas, the Oklahoma
panhandle and southeastern
Colorado. They were poised to
make their fortune from the rising

price of wheat.
The word tragic does not begin
to describe the confluence of
natural and economic disaster that
was about to conspire. The farmers
plowed their fields in the fall as
usual, planted the. wheat and then
let it overwinter before it put on
vigorous growth in the spring.
Thousands of acres of prairie.grass
were plowed under and the earth
left exposed to the elements.
About the time of the '29 stock
market crash, and with it the
falling price of wheat, a drought
came. Then the winds arrived.
Great storms began to appear in
the sky, but they carried no rain.
Without sod to hold the dirt down,
it was lifted up and carried for
miles, sometimes across the
continent as far away as New York
City and Washington DC. Inside
the storms the wind blew the dust
and dirt with the force of a
sandblaster. When this began to
happen with increasing regularity
and intensity, the effect it had on
people, animals, homes and crops
was devastating. Even something
so simple as a handshake or a hug
had to be avoided because the
static electricity in the air was
enough to knock a grown man to
the ground.
Because of the downward spiral
of grain prices, the farmers had to
plant more wheat to make the same
amount of money they had made
the year before. So they plowed up
more prairie. The Great Plains
were in the grips of a vicious circle
and the glut of grain sat in silos
while people went hungry. This
continued on throughout the
decade. Yet many of these folks
did not give up. They hung on
through it all and now Timothy
Egan tells their story. While based
on narratives and interviews with
survivors of the Dust Bowl "The
Worst Hard Time" is not simply a
book of interviews or a dry history.

research is expertly woven into the

While residents in some parts of
the country watched the falling
snow with dismay, hundreds in
downtown Perry shouted with
delight at the sight.
Perry's first big "snowfall"
blanketed the city parking lot on
Washington Street Friday night as

part of the annual Downtown
Christmas on the Square Open
House & Festival of Lights
celebration.
The snow play area, coordinated
by the Downtown Partnership and
sponsored by the Taylor Tourism
Development Council (TDC), was

an overwhelming success,
downtown businesswoman
Sharron Dorman said.
"This is something we have
wanted to offer during our annual
open house and everyone told us
that 'if you get snow, they will
come...' and they did," she said,

waving toward the throng of
visitors filling the square.
"Snow" started to fall shortly
after the opening ceremonies for
Friday's festival, but soon came to
a stop as a free-for-all snowball
fight broke out in the middle of the
first dusting.

The parking lot was soon cleared
and the snowfall returned.
Officers then directed a timed
rotation of young visitors to the
area.
Countless snow angels and
snowballs were made throughout
the evening by hundreds of

children whose unbridled
excitement was plain for all
to see.
"We want to thank the Tourism
Development Council for
sponsoring this event and certainly
hope this becomes a downtown
tradition," Dorman said.

Youngsters flocked to the free train rides and petting zoo.

Sidewalk vendors offered a variety of holiday treats.

A live nativity scene was set up near the back steps of the Taylor County Courthouse.

The Taylor County Historical Society museum provided a historical backdrop for the lighting
of the downtown Christmas tree.

Bright Christmas lights and glowing luminaries gave downtown Perry a soft, winter glow
Friday night.

A snowball free-for-all broke out as the first few inches of powder hit the city parking lot
on Washington Street.

'Power plant opponents

represent small minority'

Dear Editor:
Now that the county commission
has voted to change the land-use
plan to allow construction of a
coal-fired generating plant. I hope
some of the good people who
opposed the change will take a
deep breath and consider why the
vote didn't go their way.
First of all, the opponents were a
small minority of the county's
citizens. If the commissioners
have been questioning their
constituents they must have
determined that fact some time
ago. It's easy to get a number of
"anti's" to show up at a meeting.
Those who see a proposal as
practical and sound may consider
it unthinkable that it could be
defeated. Only when it appears
that it might fail do they begin to
take notice and get more involved.
I don't question the motives of
the opponents. I doubt that any of
them stand to gain or lose
financially if the plant is built. I'm
sure that most of them have a

genuine concern about the
environmental impact, but the
proponents, who also live here,
have that same concern.
Unfortunately, the fears of many
of the opponents seem to be based
on a lack of understanding about
the current restrictions on air-
polluting installations. We have
seen thousands of words printed in
the local newspaper, usually
written by individuals who have no
actual first-hand knowledge of the
matter, telling us the dire
consequences of building a coal-
fired plant. Most, possibly all, of
their information appears to have
come from Internet sites that are
biased against all industrial
development and contain outdated
date.
If even half the claims made.
about coal-fired plants were true,
we would be reading of epidemics
of death and illness due to air
pollution. The government would
not permit any new plants. It is a
fact that about half the electrical

power in the U.S. comes from coal,
and numerous new plants are
under construction or in the
planning stages all across the
country.
Thirty-five years ago I was
working as an air pollution control
engineering technician with the
City of Jacksonville. At that time
coal-fired and oil-fired plants were
serious threats to our health and
the environment. Since that time
the federal government has
developed and imposed ever-
more-stringent restrictions on
those sources of pollution. The
State of Florida has imposed even
stronger restrictions. Plants that
would have been permitted just 10
years ago would not be permitted
today. Older plants are gradually
being brought into compliance
with the new requirements. The
improvement in air quality across
the U.S. is apparent to those of us
who pay attention to such things.

County is 'missing the boat' with development

Dead Editor:
After attending last week's
commission meeting during which
several proposed developments
were discussed, I can only
conclude that the Taylor County
Board of Commissioners is
missing the boat in guiding the
type of development that can be
built on our coast. In their
headlong 'rush to generate real
estate tax revenue, they seem
willing to accept any sort of
environmental degradation in
return for tax dollars. In my view,
this is shortsighted and in the long
run will increase taxes for
Ser',rne. not to -mention- take"

Dear Editor:
I would like to compliment the
committee members that designed
and brought ,to fruition the
beautiful Veterans Memorial Park.
This is one of the best designed
and well thought out memorials I
have seen.
Being a submarine veteran from
the. Cuban Missile Crisis era, and
coming from Taylor County, it is
with pride that I recommend
through two different veterans
organizations that other vets
across the country come visit this
park,
I was told by a cousin about the
park, and paid a visit to it recently
while in Florida. I hope that the
City of Perry realizes the value to
all .veterans and their families of
having a memorial park in which
to reflect on those that served and
were lost, and those that returned
to their loved ones. The difference
should not be lost upon the
commissioners and city managers
as they come and go, that this
memorial park, used for quiet

away from our quality of life.
The advantage that Taylor
County currently has over most of
Florida is our relatively unspoiled
coastline and the resulting great
fishing, scalloping and boating.
This is the Nature Coast and the
Big Bend Seagrass Preserve. This
unspoiled beauty and recreational
opportunity are what draws
visitors here, who spend millions
of dollars each year. Many
eventually purchase resort homes.
Once this delicate environment is
degraded, Taylor County will have
to compete with the rest of Florida
for visitors. We cannot compete
with" white- sand beaches,-

amusement parks, shopping malls
and world class restaurants. Our
natural resources are our strength.
and in the long run our. economic
salvation.
Revenues from real estate taxes
are initially a great source of new
funding, but Taylor County will
find out in the long run what most
of Florida already knows; real
estate taxes from high-density
development do not pay for all the
supporting infrastructure that
development requires. When all of.

Dear Editor:
In response to those who are
stating Rick Causey should never
have been to the' meeting at the
Elks Club for a presentation on
Magnolia Bay because it was "by
invitation only" are wrong.
The following was in the

Democrat and I also heard of the
meeting at a public meeting at
TCDA. Nothing was said about a
select group being invited. Several
county commissioners were
invited which is not an acceptable
practice. From the sound of the
memo below it sounded like the
TCDA' and the Chamber of
Commerce were putting on the
event, which makes it open to all
the public.
"Tallahassee Democrat, Sept.
28, 2006: Forum tonight on
proposed resort. The Perry-Taylor
County Chamber of Commerce
and the Taylor County
Development Authority are co-
sponsoring an open forum tonight
to discuss the proposed Magnolia
Bay Marina and Resort. Developer
Chuck Olson is proposing to scoop
out 26 acres of the salt marsh and
to fill in almost nine acres for a
marina. He also proposes to dredge
a two-mile long channel offshore
through the Big Bend Esterase's
Aquatic Preserve."
Rick's sole interest in protesting
this is to preserve what you all
enjoy. A beautiful coastline, state
owned seagrass beds and the
marsh land that is home to many of
Taylor Counties birds, animals,
and fauna. Without this habitat
many will disappear and the
concrete parking lots and high
rises will be your view.
Think twice before supporting
this project; how will you get off
the beaches with 1200 other people
during a major storm?
Sincerely,
Carole Taitt

Otherwise, our community will
drown in traffic jams and public

quality of life.
The commissioner I spoke with
at the meeting stated the

environmental or public health

responsibility of state and federal

this and other power plants soon to
be built. '
Regardless of how many citizens
are for or against any project, our
elected officials must consider all
of the pertinent facts, disregard all
of the unfounded rhetoric and
emotional pleas, and make their
individual decisions based upon
the overall benefits or
disadvantages to our city and
county. -I feel that they have done
just that.
In the process of considering this
matter our county commissioners
have sat patiently while being
bombarded with a few facts, a lot
of technical jargon from self-

proclaimed "experts" and many
totally irrelevant comments. Much
of this has come from people who
don't even live here and will not be
affected by the commissioners'
decision. Regardless of your
opinion concerning their final vote,
they deserve your gratitude for the
way in which they have done their
very difficult and sometimes
thankless jobs.
If the plant is built I predict that,
10 or 15 years from now, you won't
even be aware of its presence

Growth with protection'

agencies such as DEP. I beg to
disagree; the comp plan requires
commission involvement in these
issues. And, when regulatory
agencies try to carry out their
responsibility, the commission
wants to fight them tooth and nail.
The commission is currently
considering litigation against DCA
for not approving 20 units per acre
in the Coastal High Hazard Zone.
Certainly in America, everyone has
a right to develop his or her
. property. The real question is
when does the proposed density or
intensity of the development
impinge on the rights of neighbors

by degrading their quality of life?
For example, should a
development be allowed to
threaten the water supply for a
community or destroy wetlands
that provide fish and crabs for the
fishermen whose livelihood
depends on these resources? I say,
at that point, the development must
be scaled back. The commission
needs to balance sustainable
growth with environmental
protection. Otherwise, in the long
run, we will all suffer the
consequences.

Buckeye raises $6,000 for United Way

Some 100 Buckeye employees
and community guests joined
together last week to raise $3,000
for United Way agencies in slightly
more than one hour at the
company's annual Chili Cook-off
and Cake Auction.
Buckeye's corporate dollar-for-
dollar match increased the total to

$6,000.
Superintendent of Schools Oscar
Howard served as auctioneer in a
"fast-paced bidding war" where
high bidders were said to have
received their "just desserts--
chocolate, lemon, and coconut,"
said Dan Simmons, chairman of
Buckeye's United Way campaign,

The company's campaign goal is
$122,000.
