Prison contraband trial delayedThe trial of two Taylor

Correctional Institution (TCI) sergeants, slated to begin Tuesday, has been continued until the next round of pre-trial hearings, June 9.

Delrikos A. Brooks, 32, and Robert Simmons, 48, face charges of directing activities of a criminal gang;

aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and witness tampering.

They also face multiple charges of conspiracy to introduce contraband (i.e. cell phones, cigarettes, the street drug commonly known as “spice” and MDMA/ecstasy) as well as unlawful compensation and

money laundering.A third defendant,

former TCI inmate Ernest L. Herrington Jr., has been charged with aggravated battery by a detainee.

A fourth defendant, former TCI officer Valshantaya Lashaye Cook, 27, has entered a plea agreement in the case.

Brooks was initially arrested in December 2013; Simmons, a short while later.

Court documents allege that Brooks and Simmons directed gang-related activity within the prison (including the distribution of contraband) and directed inmates to have family/

friends send money to civilians on their behalf.

An additional charge claims Brooks conspired with Herrington regarding the assault of another inmate and that he was aided by an officer who allowed him to enter the secure dorm where

(Bottom photos) Mothers and fathers shared the experience with their children; Coker and others saluted the flag as the national anthem was sung by Tangela Jackson. Additional World War II veterans who were recognized but not pictured include: Jimmie Breckenridge, Ralph Carlton, Richard Dean, Robert Lee Ellison Sr., Donald Grant, William A. Haney, JH Holmes, Norman Holt, John Louk, Paul Merrill, Bob Poole, Virgil Villa, Tom Wadlow and William T. Wright.

Legacy of heroesFrom the very young

to the very old, Monday’s Memorial Day ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park gave each a time to reflect on the ultimate sacrifices made by Taylor County’s—and the nation’s—bravest and brightest.

The hour-long program, coordinated by County Commissioner Pam Feagle, also honored the living heroes of World War II

as well as veterans of the Korean War, Vietnam and the War on Terror.

Former Perry resident Lt. Col. Steven Kirk Coker, who retired from the United States Marine Corps in 2012, served as keynote speaker for the event.

His speech not only recognized that the day was to “honor all fallen veterans of our nation’s wars and conflicts,” but specifically

named Taylor County’s heroes who gave their lives in Vietnam: Douglas Gaines, Jimmy Rollings, Billy Hartsfield and Paul Raymond Evans.

Also on that list is the name of fallen Marine Jack Stephens Smith; it was his story Coker shared with the 200-plus member crowd.

“Jack was born here in Perry on July 15, 1948. As a young boy his home was

down on the Old Dixie Highway. He played with another future Vietnam veteran, Ted Padgett, who is currently my folks’ neighbor now down at Keaton Beach.

“Jack enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1966. He was trained to be an anti-tank assaultman, military occupational specialty or MOS of 0351. He was

County to hear appeal on land use change

Can a recommendation made by the Taylor County Planning Board to the county commission be appealed? That was just one of the questions commissioners were wrestling with last week when they were notified several residents were appealing the planning board’s decision to recommend the commission approve a proposed Future Land Use Map amendment.

At the Tuesday, May 20, meeting, the commission was set to hold a public hearing to consider an amendment application for a 55-acre parcel located on Foley Road across from the Buckeye mill which landowner Foley Timber & Land Co. hopes will be the future site of a new business here.

The planning board considered Foley’s application during its Thursday, May 1, meeting and despite the complaints of several nearby property owners, voted unanimously to recommend the commission approve the amendment.

The comprehensive plan amendment process, which is established in Florida statutes, calls for the local planning agency to consider proposed amendments and then make a recommendation to the county commission to either approve or deny the application. Regardless of which way the planning agency recommends, the commission then holds a public hearing of its own on the amendment to decide whether or not to forward it to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity for state review.

Prior to the May 20 hearing, however, the commission allowed local

Letters to the Editor

Wednesday, May 28, 2014

Since our ability to accessorize is the only thing that separates us from the animals (according to the movie, Steel Magnolias), I always try to get it right.

And let me say, to begin with, it’s not an easy task. Finding the right necklace in the right color, or a purse that will accommodate your valuables, or sunglasses that won’t leave little canyons in your nose, is a little like finding the perfect man.

It is fraught with difficulty.So, when I found a necklace

circled with faux turquoise, I was charmed and purchased it immediately. But when I paired it with the blouse, for which it was intended, I realized that the length was all wrong.

All wrong.I could return it, of course, but

I liked it.So I went to the junk drawer

in the kitchen and, for the umpteenth time in my married life, I pulled out the spool of fishing line.

Now, mind you: there’s no shortage of fishing line at my house. It trips you in the garage, which I hope is not intentional. When lines are clipped in the husband’s cave, the snippings reflect light yet are difficult to collect on the white tile floor. Then, collectively, as a stack of spools, fishing line gathers dust like the other items that the husband “treasures” in his garage, his exterior cave. If I looked as bad as most of the husband’s treasures, there wouldn’t be an accessory on this earth which could help.

The collection of spools seems excessive and I feel obligated to comment upon it, because everywhere we go, he shops for new fishing line.

“What about one of those 15 spools in the garage?” I ask.

“Which spools?” he replies.That annoys me so.“One of those is crimped,” he

then responds.“And the other 14?”“I don’t know what you’re

talking about,” he says.Clearly, we could wrap this

world tightly with the fishing line we now own—the fishing line he doesn’t know about. That entitles me to show absolutely no restraint if I wish to take a spool without asking

permission.Thirty years into this marriage,

held together by fishing line, I wonder what I ever did before I learned about monofilament. It’s almost as critical to my personal success as a glue gun.

I wish I had been a Boy Scout because Girl Scouts never learned all the nautical knots. But, even with this obvious shortage of skill, I was able to add six inches to my necklace by knotting a doubled length of monofilament on both ends. That makes it long enough to slip over my head, and it rests invisibly underneath the collar.

But I was nervous.What if it falls in my lap?Then I realized, so what if it

lands in my lap? I’m nearing that dastardly age of 60, and who cares if it lands in my lap? I’ll just pick it up and repeat the process. Before long, I’ll be anchoring my eyebrows and my smile with monofilament.

Most of my bird houses, which line three prominent pine trees in the backyard I gladly share with a host of songbirds, are held in place by fishing line. That allows me to adjust their heights and positions.

The bird feeders which the husband has successfully wrested from the squirrels were positioned by casting 20 yards of fishing line (anchored by a saltwater weight) over the highest limb of our granddaddy oak tree. That act, alone, added 10 years to our marriage and cut the squirrel population in half.

Christmas ornaments on our evergreen often hang from monofilament, as does any front door wreath.

When life is especially difficult, I may combine monofilament with hot glue.

With fishing line and hot glue, I could land a whale.

And with a pair of scissors, I could release him again.

It’s just so practical. It’s a crying shame that women who marry tennis players, never know about fishing line.

“How lucky am I?” I thought to myself, noting that knowledge is power.

And about that time, my turquoise necklace fell in my lap.

Supporting new Donaldson BridgeDear Editor:

This letter is being written in support of replacing the single lane Donaldson Bridge with a new two-lane bridge.

I would like to thank the four county commissioners

who voted to replace this bridge with a new two-lane bridge. It is appalling to me and others in the community that Commissioner Pam Feagle voted against having a new two-lane bridge to replace the current one-lane

bridge.FDOT Project Engineer

Nelson Bedenbaugh said FDOT’s recommendation was not to repair the bridge but to replace it with a two-lane bridge. FDOT officials also explained that repairing the bridge would not be cost effective. After all of this was explained to Commissioner Feagle, she still voted no for a new two-lane bridge. Commissioner Feagle had stated that she would do whatever the citizens of Shady Grove desire. Well, I know a lot of citizens that want to see a new two-lane bridge and totally replace the current dilapidated one-lane bridge.

It is obvious that FDOT and the four county commissioners were looking out for the safety of the public. It is despicable when people don’t think about safety of other people. Vehicles such as school buses, fire trucks and heavy equipment cannot go across the Donaldson Bridge. Also the bridge is on a curve, which is also dangerous because it is a single lane bridge. I have met vehicles that were coming across the ➟ Please see page 12

graders scored a three or above, again just below the state mark of 58 percent.

At Steinhatchee School, 55 percent of third graders scored a three or above.

Superintendent Paul Dyal touted the scores, noting that the district-wide numbers were in line with the state average.

“When you look at surrounding districts, we were outscored by Wakulla but we outscored Lafayette, Madison and Jefferson,” he said.

As for the FCAT writing test, a score of 3.5 or above is considered at grade level on a scale from one to six.

In fourth grade, 32 percent of TCES students and 25 percent of Steinhatchee School students scored a 3.5 or above, compared to the state average of 53 percent.

“We’ve got some work to do in third grade writing,” Dyal said. “We’re not nearly close enough to the state average and not up to surrounding counties.”

He added that they will be working through professional development over the summer to improve

results next year.The news was quite

different for the district in the older grades taking the writing test.

In eighth grade, 67 percent of Taylor County Middle School students scored a 3.5 or above, besting the state average of 56 percent.

“Eighth grade was significantly better,” Dyal said. “When you look at just public schools, Taylor County Middle School was the fifth best public school in the state.”

In 10th grade, 70 percent of Taylor County High School students and 28 percent of Taylor Technical ACE students scored a 3.5 or above, compared to the state average of 64 percent.

“One of the most outstanding pieces of data to come out of the results is that only 778 10th grade students scored a 6.0 on the writing test in the state,” Dyal said. “At Taylor County High School, there were three students who scored a 6.0.

“We have some work to do in fourth grade writing, but eighth grade and 10th grade are getting better every year.”

resident Brent Burford, to address them on an appeal he had filed objecting to the planning board decision to make its recommendation for approval.

He quoted the county’s land development regulations (LDRs), which allow concerned citizens up to 30 days to appeal a decision made by the planning board.

Burford noted that they were only 20 days into the 30-day period, adding the LDRs call for no further action on a particular issue once an appeal has been filed until the appeal has been resolved.

According to Burford, as many as four others were intending to file appeals by the end of the 30-day period.

During the discussion, County Attorney Conrad Bishop questioned whether a non-binding recommendation qualified as a decision that could be appealed.

He also pointed out that the county commission serves as the appellate board for appeals made against the planning board.

After about 30 minutes of further discussion, Commission Chairman Malcolm Page passed the gavel to make a motion to stay any further action on the amendment until the appeal period was concluded.

Commissioner Pat Patterson seconded and the measured passed 4-1 with Commissioner Jody DeVane voting against.

The commission then agreed to hold the appeal hearings during the regular meeting on Monday, June 2,

at 6 p.m.The next item on the

commission’s agenda was to hold the public hearing on the amendment, and the board voted unanimously to continue it until the Monday, June 2, meeting to follow the appeal hearings.

According to County Building Director Danny Griner, the proposed amendment is intended to change approximately 55 acres of property from the Mixed Use Rural Residential land use category to an Industrial land use.

“Taylor County, through the Taylor County Development Authority (TCDA) and other means, is aggressively pursuing the recruitment of manufacturing companies in order to help bring new private sector jobs and investments into the county,” Foley said in its amendment application.

“The county has industrial land-use areas, but many of these properties lack adjacent infrastructure and are solely within only one of two electric power providers serving the Taylor County area.

To increase Taylor County’s competitiveness to attract job and investment-generating economic development projects, it has become important to have industrial sites that include as many of the infrastructure assets noted above as possible.”

At the planning board meeting, Burford was one of several nearby property owners who expressed opposition to the land use change citing the potential impact to their homes and questioned why other sites were not considered.

Ms. Sheila Lynn, and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Lynn, all of Perry, announce the engagement of their daughter, Katelyn Ann, to Heath Allen Padgett, the son of Ms. Trina Padgett and Terry Padgett, also of Perry.

The couple will exchange wedding vows on Oct. 11, 2014, at 5 p.m. at the Lynn Family Farm.

Friends and relatives of the couple are cordially invited.

Ed and Jamie Sheffield exchanged wedding vows on May 29, 1954, in New Home Baptist Church. Thursday will mark their 60th anniversary, and the celebrations have already begun.

A diamond anniversary dinner was given in the couple’s honor at First United Methodist Church by Pat and Eunice Barbaree, Tommy and Velma Hingson, as well as members of the church family.

The couple will be honored again by children and grandchildren who promise an evening of dinner and entertainment.

They are the parents of Wanda Sheffield, Jim Sheffield and Roy Sheffield. They also have four grandchildren, Katie, Emily, Laura and R.J., as well as three great-grandchildren, Eddie, Caleb and Daniel.

The story of their 60-year journey begins this way: When three young soldiers who had been serving in the United States Army returned home to Perry after being captured and held prisoner during the Korean War, the City of Perry held a big celebration. Families and friends met the Greyhound Bus at the station and a big parade followed with a fish fry at Jaycee Park.

Senator Gus Dekle was the Master of Ceremonies and key speaker. Iris Dee Walker, chorus teacher at Taylor County High School, arranged for the Glee Club

to sing, and Jamie was a member of this class.

After the celebration, she walked up to the bench where Ed was sitting and said, “Welcome home; my name is Jamie.” He

admitted that he had already picked her out of the crowd.

The celebration of this love story--from “a long, long time ago”--reaches a landmark Thursday on the couple’s 60th anniversary.

‘Dogs fall to NFC in spring jamboreeThe Taylor County High

football team battled North Florida Christian for three quarters Friday night in Tallahassee before falling to the Eagles 38-14 in the annual spring jamboree game.

The Bulldogs have beaten the seven-time state champs the past two springs but it was not to be Friday as NFC turned several big plays into points to win going away in the three-quarter contest.

The Bulldogs opened the game with two quick passes from quarterback Rayshawn Hamilton to wide receiver Jalen Oliver for a first down near midfield but the drive stalled, forcing Evan Ward to punt.

The Bulldog defense held the Eagles on their first possession thanks to a big play by defensive lineman DeVontae Fudge.

The teams exchanged punts before NFC broke loose with a long run to the Bulldog 18. The Eagles got down to the 2 yard line before Fudge and Justin

Cruse teamed up to tackle the NFC runner in the backfield to slow down the drive.

But the Eagles scored two plays later to take a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter.

The Bulldogs appeared to be battling right back after Hamilton and Li’Willie Elder ran the ball three times for a first down. The Bulldogs then completed a pass but fumbled and the NFC defensive back scooped up the ball and ran 60 yards for the touchdown to go on top 14-0 with 3:04 left in the first quarter.

Taylor County then put the ball in play at their own 30 and quickly got a first down on Hamilton’s pass to Ward for 15 yards. Hamilton then lofted a perfect pass to Elder for a 55-yard touchdown. Ward’s kick put TCHS back in the game, trailing 14-7 with just over 2 minutes left in the first quarter.

NFC wasted little time and scored on a 70-yard

pass to improve their lead to 21-7.

A pass interception on the Bulldogs’ next possession led to another NFC score to give the Eagles a 28-7 advantage at the end of the first quarter.

Hamilton completed two passes to Oliver to start the second quarter but the drive stalled and NFC took over, driving the ball down to the Bulldog 15 before being stopped and kicking a 25-yard field goal to go on top 31-7.

Two minutes later, NFC scored again to make it 38-7 with 3:30 left in the first half.

The Bulldogs took over at their own 30 and quickly marched into the red zone with Elder busting loose on a 24-yard run and Hamilton completing a 42-yard pass to Oliver to put the ‘Dogs in business inside the NFC 10. Several quick plays with the clock running down produced little and the half ended with the ‘Dogs trailing 38-7.

The third and final quarter started with the Bulldogs throwing NFC for a loss on three consecutive plays before forcing a punt. The entire defensive front was in on the plays with Fudge, Cruse and Ward leading the

way.On Taylor County’s first

possession of the second half, Lagarrette Britt ran for 4 yards on the first play followed by Elder gaining a first down near midfield on a 9-yard jaunt.

Elder then took a handoff around the left side then cut back across the middle to outrun the NFC secondary for a 45-yard TD run with 7:23 left in the game. Ward’s kick left the ‘Dogs

trailing 38-14.The TCHS defense held

the Eagles again on their next possession. This time Tanner Hammock sacked the quarterback for a loss as

did Fudge and Cruse forcing a punt.

The ‘Dogs got the ball back late in the period and Oliver busted loose on a 32-yard run as time expired.

eventually assigned to Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment based in Camp Pendleton, Calif. In November 1967, the battalion deployed to the western Pacific island of Okinawa, a staging base and only a short three-four hour flight to Vietnam. In Okinawa the battalion would remain for a few days of ‘climatization,’ getting accustomed to the thick, humid and hot air they would be exposed to in Vietnam.

“As a member of the famous 5th Marine Regiment, the most decorated in Marine Corps history for valor in combat, Jack was authorized to wear the French Fourrage’re, an accoutrement worn on the left shoulder with the dress and service uniforms. The Fourrage’re was awarded to the ‘Fighting Fifth’ by the French government for its uncommon valor and heroism in combat during World War I against the Germans. The Marines of Echo 2/5 deployed with their green service Alpha’s on the chance they’d be able to wear them and the Fourrage’re on liberty in Hawaii or if really lucky, Australia.

“Jack, ‘LCpl. Smith,’ participated in several operations against communist North Vietnamese and insurgent Viet Cong rebels in the Quang Nam province, what was then South Vietnam, where his battalion was assigned.

“On July 26, 1968, about seven months into his one-year combat tour, Jack was participating in a security patrol which was engaged by an enemy unit. As the Assault Team Section Leader, normally a corporal’s job, Jack directed his Marines to maneuver and return fire. During the course of the firefight, Jack was severely wounded by an enemy grenade blast.

“Upon gaining control with overwhelming firepower and maneuver, the Echo Company Marines drove off the enemy force and quickly called for a MEDVAC helicopter to transport their wounded back to the battalion aid station. Jack was hit very badly and bleeding profusely from multiple fragmentation impacts.

“As I was researching Jack’s story, I came across the following quote posted on the internet by Cpl. Donald Johnson in 2002. Apparently Cpl. Johnson knew Jack pretty well, he said: ‘I knew ‘Smitty’ for a short time with the 2nd BN, 5th Marine Regiment. I was trained also as an 0351, and for our last week together, he was my section leader. I knew him to be a hard worker and duty-conscious Marine which testifies of someone setting a good example for him in his upbringing. The last 24 hours of his life, we were step for step together. I think often of that day, and I appreciate his life and the example he set for me. When he was hit, he was six feet from me and I ask why, why I only got a cut on my hand. He quickly got medical care, and we talked to him until the MEDIVAC came. He was a tough Marine, but a good person. I know that those who knew him will never forget him.’

“Not long after being MEDIVACed, LCpl. Jack Stephen Smith, United States Marine Corps, succumbed to his wounds on that hot July day in South Vietnam. He was 20 years, 11 days old. His military decorations include the Purple Heart, Combat Action Ribbon, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with star, Vietnam Campaign Medal and Sea Service Deployment Ribbon.

“Jack’s name is listed on the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington on Panel 50

west. Line 16.“We as a nation should

never lose sight of what makes us great, the Jack ‘Smitty’ Smiths…young people who hail from communities like Perry all across the nation. Young people who answered the nation’s call and gave everything to defend our country and our freedoms. I thank all of you for honoring Jack and all the other fallen, the soldiers, sailors, airmen, coast guardsmen and Marines, by your presence here today,” Coker said.

He closed with a quote by Benjamin Disraeli that he said “sums up LCpl.

Jack Stephen Smith’s place in history: ‘The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example’.”

Also participating in the program were Col. (ret.) Izzy Rommes, Navy Capt. (ret.) Morris Steen, U.S. Army veteran Ed Sheffield and U.S. Army veteran Charles McDonald.

Tangela Jackson performed the national anthem.

Additional music was provided by the Tallahassee Pipe Band and buglers James Taylor and William Shipley.

‘Let every nation know, whether it wishes us weLL or iLL, that we shaLL pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe

to assure the survivaL and the success of Liberty’

Retired Marine Lt. Col. Kirk Coker served as keynote speaker for Monday’s Memorial Day ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park. He expressed his personal thanks for the service and sacrifices of the World War II veterans present for the ceremony, and then shared a poignant and timely recollection of a Perry soldier killed in action in Vietnam, Jack Stephen Smith.

Ray Evans, World War II Navy veteran, prepares to hand over the service flag of his son, U.S. Marine Paul Raymond Evans, who was killed in action in Vietnam. Cadet 1st Lieutenant Cheyenne Davidson of Taylor County High School’s JROTC Bulldog Battalion received the flag, and in turn presented for posting. The flag will fly over Memorial Park for one year.

(L to r) County Commissioner Pam Feagle chaired this year’s Memorial Day ceremony event and made a special effort to pay tribute to all surviving World War II veterans in Taylor County. Some 25 WW II veterans were recognized during the program. She is shown with Navy veterans Ollison Wheeler and Ponce Morgan.

JROTC cadets saluted the service flag of Paul Raymond Evans, which will fly over Veterans Memorial Park for the next year. The flag lowered was flown in honor of the late Bryant Russell and was presented to members of his family.

Staff Sgt. William Shipley, left, and Chaplain Major James Taylor performed two selections during Monday’s program, “Taps” and “To the Colors.”

(Above) Army veteran Charles McDonald rang the bell as Navy Capt. (ret.) Morris Steen read the names of the Taylor County men who made the ultimate sacrifice and who are featured on the Wall of Remembrance. The Tallahassee Pipe Band followed by playing “Flowers of the Forest.” (Right) The JROTC Color Guard posted the colors at the beginning of the program.

bridge and had to pull over to the side of the road so the vehicle could pass.

Replacing the old dilapidated Donaldson Bridge with a new two-lane bridge would be an improvement for our community.

We have Commissioner Feagle, who represents the Shady Grove area, ask the FDOT engineer as to whether a one-lane bridge would cost half the cost. The engineer explained that it would not because engineering and mobilization costs would remain the same. However our county commissioner voted with what she thinks most of the citizens wanted.

Commissioner Pat Patterson pointed out her concern of the safety of having a one-lane bridge. This is a matter that people should agree on when it comes to safety of the people.

There are a lot of citizens that are 100 percent for replacing the one-lane Donaldson Bridge with a new two-lane bridge.

Oh, by the way, do you remember Hwy. 14 between Shady Grove and Eridu was a dirt road? I never heard anyone complaining about this road being paved. This is called improvements. Then you have people talking about taxes. If you will note some of the people fussing about the taxes have not even bothered to pay their property tax for 2013. I feel sure the county could use the money.
