A-10 6 11111 JI 1 1 3 vehicle crash snarls traffic A Palm Harbor woman was airlifted from the scene of a three-vehicle crash Sunday evening that happened a few miles south of Salem. Katherine Freymuller was the passenger in a 2001 Ford Explorer driven by Maxwell Freymuller, 63, that overturned several times--passing through the center median and both northbound lanes of Highway 19. During the crash, a trailer being towed by the Freymullers separated from the SUV, causing the golf cart on the trailer to fall off and enter the northbound inside lane. Wanda McElveen, 54, of Perry, was traveling in the same lane and was unable to avoid hitting the golf cart. Her 1987 Ford F-150 truck continued through the outside lane and came to a final rest on the shoulder of the road. The impact pushed the golf cart into the outside lane of the highway, where a second vehicle (driven by Michael Evans of Palm Harbor) then hit it. He struck the golf cart with the front of his 2000 BMW and was able to come to a controlled stop on the east shoulder of the road. The cause of the initial crash was due to (Maxwell) Freymuller oversteering back onto the roadway after the left tires of the trailer left the roadway and entered onto the west shoulder, Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) Trooper J.M. Beauford reported. Traffic was diverted around the scene for nearly three hours to allow for clean-up as items were strewn across the highway and median for a good distance. The crash happened around 6:21 p.m. Katherine Freymuller sustained serious injuries; TCHS National Honor Society gives thanks Taylor County High School's National Honor Society was thankful for the support it received for a Thanksgiving canned good drive benefitting local food pantries.

By highlighting Skip Jarvis for "doing his job" by showing up for the parole hearing is just another way to embellish an old story and promote your support for Mr. Jarvis' political career and pursuits. Guess every politician needs a reporter in their pockets. You should be ashamed to drag this horrific tragedy before the family of Benny Neeley - and have them re-live it, all for the sake of promoting Mr. Jarvis and your own financial agenda...selling papers. As someone recently said, "It's like cutting open an old wound and rubbing salt in it." Mrs. Evelyn Neely and her entire family lives with this everyday without having to be reminded of it. I'm sure nobody in Perry would dare speak up on this "sensationalism" but I felt I had to. I was Benny's girlfriend at the time and know he would never have wanted his mother to have to open the paper and read this. My question to you: do you always put Mr. Jarvis or others on your front page when they attend a parole board hearing? Isn't this the job we pay them to do? If not, you might want to question your motives, which appear very clear to me, Morally concerned citizen, Denise Lemings Midweek Muddle * .

Dear Editor: It was with-great dismay that I read your front page Nov. 18, article about Benny Neeley's killer and his recent parole hearing. The details of the murder of Benny Neeley are not news. This piece was nothing more than sensationalism at its worst. While I think I can safely speak for our entire family when I say that we are grateful thit parole was denied and he will remain in prison, it was not appropriate to publish grisly details of a 36-year-old crime. Those who experienced Benny's loss in 1975 already live with it every single day, ", Please see page 5 Tha cas Outside the perimeters of my home, I have assembled a curious cast of characters for the Thanksgivings IFhave enjoyed in this region, beginning 25 years ago. t Tur trot The first is a ivvid recollection not only of the color and sound, but also the movements of "Walk Like A Turkey" as performed by Gail Veal at Rooms To Grow Pre-School. The children were enamored. They wanted t,6 sing, and they did. They wanted to strut, and they did. But the most interesting sight of all for them, was to watch "Miss Gail" authentically walking. like a .turkey on a happy sunimer day... I can'f think about it without smiling. And in the privacy of my home, I too, have tried to walk like a turkey. fturkeyLurre0 Turkey Lurkey, of course, made his debut in society as part of another well known cast of characters in the book, "Chicken Little." I loved the. book as a child; then.I loved the book as a parent. There's Loosey Goosey,, and we all ,know her. There's Foxy-Loxey, and everybody has encountered him. There's Henny Penny, God bless her, a woman after my own heart. And the sky that is falling, which makes it very realistic and adds some drama, too. What a great book. The morals are as plentiful as the' characters: Don't be a chicken about life. Don't borrow worry from tomorrow. Don't be discouraged by those who, don't work as hard as. they ought. DO the right thing! Clearly, while strutting in the privacy of those kindergarten walls, and telling turkey stories, "Miss Gail" was imparting a kind of moral wisdom and hoping the sky would, indeed, stay in place..., at least until those precious, children were picked up by their parents and she could go home and put her tired turkey feet up. Turke?) Crispy Flash forward to middle school where the faculty worked like pilgrims to prepare a Thanksgiving feast for the community to enjoy. I,'m from the South where we fry absolutely everything, but none of us had ever seen a turkey fried whole and it was a marvel to behold. To smell that grease and know that we were going to eat something fantastic, without having to travel on the Mayflower or endure seven months of dysentery, made it a glorious event indeed. inksgiving t of characters By SUSAN H. LINCOLN Eating .'outside in the year's best weather makes Thanksgiving particularly memorable in North Florida. We've never fried a whole turkey (how many gallons of oil does that require?) but we did once cook one upon the grill, and upon a beer can...how can delicately describe it? The turkey sat upon the beer can which was partially inserted into the ca\ity of the bird. It was a strange operation to watch, and I feared that it was either illegal or immoral, but the end result was a Tipsy Turkey which was really quite tasty too. TCtfkey u'yur "Are you sure he shot him between the eyes?" I asked the husband with deep skepticism. He held up the dangling head of' a turkey with a bloody shot between two beady -nd glassy eyes. The son was knee-high to a grasshopper and he wasn't turkey hunting. He was terrorizing trees and an occasional: squirrel with his Red Rider bb gun, when in\ the spirit :of "even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then," he hit a turkey between the eyes. "We've got to eat him," the husband said. "He's so proud." Should we chastise him, congratulate his dead-eye aim or play the lottery because of his sheer good luck? Parenting remains such a quandary. "The turkey needs to bleed outside," I suggested politely,' "and when he's given to me, I want him to resemble what I see in a grocery store on a styrofoam tray with plastic wrap and an expiration date." "It's not a domestic turkey,"' the husband said. "Do your best," I begged. With great misgivings, we dined upon Turkey Murky and found the wild game delightful. There was never a pilgrim or an Indian who took more pride in providing the centerpiece for Thanksgiving dinner. So we gave appreciation to him and thanks to God. turkey theory The turkey is a fine bird and deserves to be the crowning achievement of a Thanksgiving feast, if not a national holiday, but let us' forget not to be grateful...even if. we gather around a meatloaf or a salad. Whether you walk like a turkey, hunt the land upon which you live or simply enjoy a day of rest in a country which affords such freedom, the meal should have thanksgiving as its centerpiece. And a little cranberry sauce on the side.

Property owners in other areas will still see the five percent reduction earned under Class 9. . "The floodplain management activities implemented by your community qualify it for a 15 percent discount in the premium cost of flood insurance for National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) policies issued or renewed in Special Flood Hazard Areas on or after Oct. 1, 2011," said Sandra K. Knight, deputy associate administrator for mitigation at FEMA said in a letter to County Administrator Jack Brown. 'This increase is based on a field verification of your five- year cycle CRS application." The Taylor County Commission acknowledged the report at its meeting last week and Brown credited county staff with the improved score. "If there are no NFIP noncompliance actions, the CRS rating for your community will automatically be renewed annually and a notification letter will not be sent to your community," Knight said in her letter. "This renewal will occur as long as your community continues to implement the CRS activities you certify each October." CRS, administered by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages community. floodplain management activities which exceed the minimum NFIP requirements. According to NFIP, flood insurance premium rates are discounted to reflect the reduced flood risk resulting from the community actions meeting the three goals of the CRS: reduce flood losses; facilitate accurate insurance rating; and promote the awareness of flood insurance. CRS bases its score on,18 activities, which include map information service, outreach projects, flood, protection information and floodplain management planning. Communities are ranked from Class 10 to Class 1, which sees the highest premium reductions. Taylor County scored a 1633, with Class 7 including scores, 1,500 to 1,999. Class 9, where the county had been ranked, is 500 to 999. "Please note Preferred Risk Policies, applicable in Zones B, C, and X, on your community's NFIP Flood Insurance Rate Map are not eligible for the CRS discount," Knight said. "Standard rated flood insurance policies in Zones B, C, X, D, AR and A99 are limited to a CRS discount of 10 percent in Class 1-6 communities UPTO OFF and five percent in Class 7-9 zones already reflect significant communities.

The Thompsons' classic bungalow has been "a work in progress" for 24 years as the couple turned a house into a home. Thompson bungalow featured on this year's Tour of Homes Built in 1910, this simple cottage bungalow on Julia Street has been the home of Chet and Terry, Thompson for 24 years. On Dec. 4, it will be among six homes featured on the Holiday Tour of Homes, sponsored by the Perry Woman's Club. When the Thompsons purchased the home in 1987, their initial renovation involved gutting the kitchen and bathrooms, .removing dropped ceilings, refinishing heart pine floors, adding closets, painting and wallpapering throughout. , "The home had been empty for a year, and repossessed by the bank, but we loved the simple details and classic :bungalow features--the high ceilings, front porch, fireplaces, wood, floors and great circulation, as well as the location' in town."m Subsequent renovations added a sunroom and back entry porch as well as renovations to the garage apartment. Though contractors have been involved, much of the work has been accomplished with the help of their families and now grown sons. "The Thompsons are always Allie Anna English planning future projects and upgrades, and live by the philosophy that when you finish your house, you die," said Iris Parker who, with Jeanne Raulerson, is chairing this year's tour. The goal for the couple has always been establishing a home for raising and homeschooling their three children "and for ministering to the community rather than an authentic restoration." At various times, the home has housed Sunday School classes, Bible studies, church home groups and a ballet studio. "Through the years, the personality of the house has taken over and we have added simple antiques, classic reproductions, family cast-offs and pottery from our, travels. We admire the arts 'arid crafts movement and,try to embrace the design, philosophy of founder William Morris, 'Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.."'

A-5 Taco Times Novemjber 23, 2011 PSC approves Progress Energy's 2012 fuel costs - l, The Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) on Tuesday approved Progress Energy Florida's 2012 fuel costs--the final element of the total 2012 .price. The overall price for a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month will be $123.19 beginning with January 2012 billing. This change comes after two' years of bill reductions and represents .a three percent increase compared to $119.34 per 1,000 kWh per month currently charged, PEF officials said. The average commercial customer bill will increase three to four' percent, and the average industrial customer bill will increase four to five percent. New prices will take effect with the first billing cycle in January 2012. "The 2012 price reflectsour prior decision to reduce short- term spending on the proposed Levy County nuclear project and is offset by an increase in fuel costs due to the unavailability United Way donation The Perry Rotary Club recently presented the United Way a $250 donation toward its 2011 campaign.

Plant," said Vincent Dolan, president and CEO of Progress Energy Florida. "We remain committed to return the Crystal River Nuclear Plant to service, as it is our lowest-cost generation unit and provides: carbon-free electricity to the more than 1.6 million families and businesses that depend on us." The approved changes, based on a monthly, 1,000-kWh residential bill include: . New nuclear generation: $2.86; a $2.67 decrease of nearly 50 percent; Energy-efficiency programs: $2.88; an 11-cent decrease; Environmental compliance: $5.45; a 54-cent increase; Fuel: $48.60; a $3.99 increase; Purchased power: $11.74; a $2 increase. , Previously, the PSC approved a nearly 50 percent reduction to the new nuclear generation charge, \a slight reduction to the energy conservation charge and a modest increase to the environmental compliance charges. PEF's environmental compliance charges recover the costs of environmental investments required by state and federal law. Environmental improvements at. PEF's two largest coal-fired units, Crystal River 4 and 5, now allow the company to use lower-cost coal while reducing the plant's average annual emissions by 80 percent (nitrogen oxides by approximately 93 percent and sulfur dioxide by approximately 97 percent), company officials said. ' The largest portion of the three percept increase is the fuel charge, which recovers the actual cost of fuel, mainly' natural gas and .coal, used to generate electricity, officials added. Due to the extended outage at the company's Crystal River Nuclear Plant, Progress Energy Florida is using more natural gas, which is the lowest- possible-cost resource next to nuclear, to meet customer needs. . In 2012, residential customers will pay about 6 cents more per 1,000-kWli for fuel due to the extended outage. The company makes no profit from the fuel portion of the customer bill, officials said., Progress Energy also received Admissio an increase to its chased power charge in order to lock agreements for more natural gas-fired purchased power at today's %ery loq natural gas prices.

( The Bulldogs turned in their best offensive game of the season--actually out-gaining Yulee 513-349--and matched the Hornets score for score-- before special teams' miscues ultimately ended Taylor County's chances at pulling off a huge first-round upset. As expected, Yulee was led by one of the nation's top running back recruits in 5-star junior prospect Derrick Henry who handled 42 of the Hornets' 47 offensive snaps, carrying the ball 34 times for 283 N ards and 4 TDs and completing his only pass attempt (a trick play jump pass) for a 23-yard ID. ' Henry, who has already committed to olav at the Uni\ersait of Georgia. broke the Northeast Florida career rushing yardage mark (7,479. yards) set by former UF star CiatrickFason mida\ through the second half. , In just three \ears of \arsity football. Henrr no"\ has 7,620 career rushing \ards and 92 touchdo% ns, needing onl\ 4 to break Fason's record of 96. Henrn is on pace to eclipse NFL Hall of Famer and former Dallas Co boss star Emmin Smith's state record of 8,804 career yards gained at Pensacola Escambia. In an effort to. keep the ball out of Henry's hands, the Bulldogs kicked away from the dangerous return man all night. However, as a result Taylor averaged only 12 yards per punt and opted to.give the Hornets excellent starting field position by not kicking the ball deep on kickoffs and risking a long return touchdown. Squib kicks, ,:shanked punts and .poor kick 'coverage combined to give Yulee an average starting field position of their own 47 yard line. Six of the Hornets' drives began at midfield or on Taylor County's side of the field. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs' average start was their own 37 yard line. Two failed extra point attempts (one blocked) proved to be crucial. Despite the huge difference in starting field position, the Bulldogs had a chance to fie or pull ahead %with 2:07 remaining in the game when QB Daniel Wentworth found fellow sophomore Moral Stephens on a48-yard. TD pass. Ho,we\ er. Brian Wilder's PAT "as wide right as hehurried to get the kick off in the face of Yulee's daunting kick block unit that included Henry, who blocked an earlier extra-point kick and nearly got to another. The Bulldogs attempted an onside kick, but it was covered by Yulee, who ga\c the ball to Henry on fourof the final 6 plays to run the clock out. The 42-41 "\in %%as Yulee's third one-point ictor\ of the season and tie school'ss first- ever plavyot \ in "They must have a horseshoe or something," joked Bulldogs' Head Coach Steve Price. "Yulee is a good football team and Henry is a great player. We knew we had a big" challenge with him and their other stand- out Kelvin Rainey. Overall, their team was better than they looked on film and they had a hard-hitting defense." The two teams traded the lead four times and were tied ,four times in a game that saw both, offenses score on 6 of their 12 possessions arid combine for 826 yards of offense and 83 points. , *"I was-pleased with the way our, team kept coming back time and time again. I am really proud of the way we performed. There were many opportunities in this game (and this season) for our guys to quit, and they never did. I am so proud of them," Price said.. When asked about the final minutes of the game, Price said he felt it was safer to kick the PAT and tie than risk going for the 2-point conversion and the lead. "My experience in high school .football is that more games are lost than they are won. I believe the easiest way to score in that situation is a kick, and Brian has been almost automatic on PATs all year," Price said. "I thought we wvoild tie it up and let them make a mistake or go to overtime. "I think he was impacted by the blocked PAT earlier and the fact they almost got to another one. We had not been protecting real well on extra point kicks," Price added. "Hindsight- is 20-20, but while we made it look easy moving up and down the field all night, at times they did a good job of shutting down the run inside and they had their - corners locked tight on our receivers down at the goal line: "I just felt that kicking to tie the game and then trying to Jalan Jackson (4) and Justin Becerra (24) combine for a tackle on a Yulee-'s'rerrick Henry with KJ Johnson rushing in to help during Friday night's action. : "' stop them was the right move, but I have re-lived it 1,000 times since then..!..and right now I have to say I wished I would have gone for it (2-point conversion)," 1Price admitted. "We .gave them possessions deep on our side of the field three times. I don't blame our kids or our kicker or our special teams. The onside kicks, squib kicks and trying to keep it away from Henry on punts had an: impact on field position. We were trying to steal a possession all night. That is why we went for the fake punt. We just didn't cover well on special teams.,We are .going to spend significant time on special teams this offseason and next spring?. . The Bulldog,,deferise;'ldid,, manage to almost make Henlry look human .during the first half, as he took 19 of Yulee's 22 snaps out of the Wildcat formation, but was held to only 81 yards and 2 TDs on 16 carries thanks mostly to two bad snaps that sailed. over his head for -37 yards. Those two bad snaps (one recovered by sophomore Percy Jacobs) and some outstanding defensive plays by KJ Johnson, Calub Murphy, Ja\ol is NlcNeal, Connor Bishop, Jalan Jackson, Justin Becerra and Darick Ward, helped hold Yulee scoreless on their next 4 possessions after the Hornets scored quickly on ,their first two series to take a 14-7 lead. After a quick punt on: their first series, Taylor County Blount t scored on 3 of their next 5 possessions to build a .20-14 halftime lead. The Bulldogs alternated quarterbacks Eli ,.Grambling and Daniel Wentworth on every other possession, and both had " success moving the offense. Wentworth completed 14 of 21 passes for 199 yards and 3 TDs and rushed 7 times fodr 24 yards and another TD, while Grambling carried 16 times for 92 yards and 2 Tbs: and completed 6 of 14 passes for - 110 yards and 2 interceptions..

Yulee got the ball to start the secoQd, half and scored *touchdoyns-,6n each of their next thle. obsessions. ' S A 51.Ar:TD run by Henry ga\e Yuleea-20-20 lead on the second pla) of the 3rd quartet, and thie-Bulldogs appeared to be stopped after two short passes by Wpniporth anid a 3-yard keepF,, Prambling. HYul yer, on 4th and ,4 from Yulee's 42-yard line, Price called;.for ha.fake punt and StraWterpicked up 8 yards and a first4doWn..,. A afe. ,hit,:penalty gave the Bulls 1,.55 more yards and Grambling capped the drive with a 1-yard run up the middle and a 2-point conversion run that tied the score at 28-28 with 3:36 to play in the 3rd quarter.' Despite back-to-back holding penalties that resulted in a 1st and 33, Yulee scored in just three plays, as Henry ran twice for 19 Nards before fooling everyone w ith a jump pass to a wide open receiver for a 23- yard TD. Trailing '35-28, Wentworth and the Bulldogs answered yet again, as Smyrnios rumbled 43 yards up the middle behind blocks thrown by Taylor Bethea and Andrew McBride, and Wentworth hit Jackson for a 13- yard gain before scoring himself on a 10-yard QB keeper. Wilder's kick tied the game again at 35-35 as the final quarter began. Ke'Varius Franklin, Bishop, Raydon Parker and Johnson led 'the Dog defense in finally forcing a Yulee punt without allowing Henry to pick up a first down, but a high snap, holding )penalty and an incomplete .3rd and 11 pass by Grambling doomed the next Bulldog drive. Wentworth's punt sailed out of bounds for, a net gain of only' 8 yards to give Yulee the ball at the Taylor 46-yard line. As Henry appeared to wear down, he opted to hand off to Rainey four times on the next drive, leading ,to Rainey's 1-yard TD run that gave Yulee a 42-35 lead with 5:18 left in the game. Beginning from his own 25, Wentworth calmly moved the Bulldogs into scoring position with several short passes to Strawter and a 9-yard QB keeper before Becerra busted loose up the middle for a huge 14-yard gain, ; ' Becerra had another 15-yard run for a first down that was called back on a holding penalty and set up a 2nd and 21 play, but Wentworth completed a 48- yard TD pass over the middle to Stephens with 2:07 remaining to pull the Bulldogs within 42- 41 before the final PAT sailed wide right. Tailback Jake Smymios finished with 4 carries for 54 yards, while Jacques Freeman struggled to gain 9 yards, on 3 carries due. to an ankle injury. Strawter carried twice for 12 yards and Becerra had a 14-yard run, Jalan Jackson had the best game of his career, catching 6 passes for 119 yards and 1 TD, ,in addition to playing stellar defense. Strawter had 5 catches for 80 yards and 1 TD and Moral Stephens caught 6 passes for 73 yards and 1 TD. Brion Scott had 3 catches for 37 yards, as the Bulldogs passed for 309 yards and 3 TDs and rushed for 204 yards and 3 more TDs "It was a challenging year, but it was a good one; Jalan played his best two games of his career these last two weeks on both sides of the ball, and I am really proud of him. He never quit. Justin Becerra made an amazing onside kick recovery that kept us in the game. We all thought there was no way he' could get that ball back under that pile," Price said; "Moral, Jalan and Strawter made some great catches; Daniel played very well and Eli had some nice runs. Jake Smyrnmios came up with some huge runs for us. I wish Jacques could've have played the whole game, but his ankle just wouldn't let him," Price added. Price praised the play of the Bulldogs' offensive line, which featured seniors Justin McGuire, Blaine Brenner and Aaron Crews, as well as senior defensive players KJ Johnson, Connor Bishop, Wil Tuten, Raydon Parker and Becerra. "My heart goes out to our seniors, because I really felt we would be playing for a few more weeks, but it just wasn't meant to be," Price added. '"I hope that as the years go by they think back on the positive experiences of this year and not this loss," Price added. "They will be served well by the lessons learned this year that will go on with them for the rest of their lives. I wish each of them the very best." "I feel good about our guys and what they accomplished this year. I am honored to have coached them. We are real excited about the good group of kids we have. These seniors have established the foundation, and the underclassmen have caught a glimpse of what we can accomplish. I thank the community and fans for the great crowd and vocal support, we received in this game and every Friday night this, year."
