Madison County Sheriff
responds to crime report
Dear Editor:
This letter is in response
to a recent article by
the
Times-Union
in
Jacksonville dated Feb. 17,
2014.
The title of the article was
“Florida’s Most Dangerous
Counties Based on Crime.”
In the article they ranked
all of the Florida counties
from the most dangerous
to the safest. They claimed
they based their findings on
the 2012 Uniform Crime
Reports for the State of
Florida. They also claimed
that Madison County, as
well as several other small
counties, was the most
dangerous. As Sheriff of
Madison County this is my
response in writing to their
false claim.
First, I would like to
point out that the Uniform
Crime Report, usually
referred to as UCR, is data
that is self reported to the
Florida Department of Law
Enforcement on a semiannual basis by all of the
law enforcement agencies
in Florida. The data is
supposed to consist of the
number and type of crimes
occurring in any given
jurisdiction. However, the
data is based on arrests. Any
agency that is not efficient at
solving crimes and making
arrests then has less “crime”
to report. The clearance rate
for Madison County is twice
as high as Duval County
which gives us twice the
number of crimes to report.
Second,
the
arrest
data is also converted to
percentages based on the
population of the jurisdiction
and then compared with
last year’s UCR. The less
crime that you have then
the worse your percentages
appear. For instance, Duval
County reported 76 murders
in 2011 and 94 murders in
2012 which gave them a 24
percent increase for 2012.
Madison County had zero
murders in 2011 and two in
2012 which gives us a 200
percent increase for 2012.
So Duval County reports
a 24 percent increase with
94 murders, but Madison
County has to report a 200
percent increase with two. I
can also report that in 2013
there are no murders to
report in Madison County
which is the norm!
Third, the reporter that
wrote the Times Union
article picked only four
crimes out of the UCR to
report on. There are over
28 felony crime categories
reported in the Uniform
Crime Reports. Any felony
should
be
considered
dangerous. When
you
look at the total crime rate
Letters to the Editor
based on population then
Duval County comes out
on top with Broward, Dade,
Orange and the other big
counties as being more
dangerous. The smaller
counties like Madison are
always the lowest.
Finally, I would ask you
to go to the FDLE web site
and look at all of the data
for yourself. I would also
ask you to use common
sense and not accept junk
science or junk journalism.
The Times Union article
rated Madison, Mayo,
Apalachicola, Port St. Joe,
Live Oak and Monticello
as more dangerous than
Jacksonville.
I
also
challenge you to take a walk
in downtown Madison,
Mayo,
Apalachicola,
Port St. Joe, Live Oak, or
Monticello and then go
for a walk in downtown
Jacksonville.
You
can
then be the judge of which
is safer. One last thing,
eight people were shot in
Jacksonville last weekend, I
don’t have any to report in
Madison.
Thank you for your
continued support of the
Madison County Sheriff’s
Office and the Madison
Police Department.

Dear Editor:
The fake lake should
be reconsidered. The City
of Perry does not like
to reconsider anything,
therefore people need to
think about the creek/spring
now.
The City of Perry has
not thought out their plans
for a lake in the downtown
area. Although the idea of
building a lake looks good
on paper, the City of Perry
is neglectful in their duties
of maintenance now. I see
no hope of improvement
that this will change. A tiger
cannot change its stripes and
Perry will not change its
mode of doing things.
I have lived 99.9 percent
of my 68 years in Perry.
I am not a newbie, I see
what they do and do not
do. Maintenance is not one.
At this moment, as in all
years past, the City of Perry
ignores the spring that flows
westward under Center
Street, Washington Street
and Jefferson Street. Only
now they want to make the
problem bigger.
(1) This natural spring is
filled with water hyacinth
plants which can and will
spread indefinitely. The City
of Perry refuses to maintain
the spring. They only mow
the grassy banks.
(2) This spring has other
water flowing into it and
the City of Perry ignores
the trash and sewage which
is dumped into that water
flow which crosses Morgan
and other streets to meet the
spring. These other streets
are only two to three blocks
away from the spring-fed
water which the city wants
to damn up and make bigger.
When confronted with the
issue of raw sewage and
trash dumped into this water
flow, the city said, “It was
not their problem.”
(3) This spring which the
City of Perry wants to make
into a big lake is fed deep
underground and is impacted
by rain and changing water
levels in counties north and
northeast of Perry.
(4) The City of Perry has
a flooding problem during
heavy rain seasons. At this
moment the spring is almost
over its bank. Center Street,
the first street which the
spring flows under, has been
flooded by this same spring
they want to damn up.
(5) If the City of Perry
is allowed to dam up this
naturally flowing spring and
they cannot stop the rain,
where is the overflowing
water going to go? Center
Street will not be the only
street impacted by flood
water. Jefferson Street will
also be flooded.
The damming of the
spring will create greater
issues for the City of Perry.
If the City of Perry cannot
and will not maintain a
simple spring, how are they
going to change by making
the very spring they have
neglected into a bigger
problem which they will not
maintain?
Our city has a long history
of creating and destroying,
destroying and creating
only to make the problems
worse not better. I beg you
to consider the issues of
flooding, raw sewage, trash
dumping and failure to
maintain existing spring as
reasons for denying the City
of Perry attempts to change
the spring into a lake.
People must write to stop
this before it becomes a big
mess.
Sincerely,
Pat Cook

Midweek
Muddle
A couple of friends and I are
considering a class action suit
against the federal government
for the cruel and unusual
punishment that Daylight Savings
Time imposes upon us.
And by “us,” I mean the very
taxpayers who fund the federal
government that imposes the
time change.
We are hopeful, of course.
We are idiots, obviously.
But being idiotic is a lot more
politically correct these days; in
fact, idiots are embraced in the
making of public policy quite
often, so our lawsuit may have
merit.
Which is scary, too.
Historians will tell you that
Daylight Savings Time (DST) is a
change in the standard time with
the purpose of getting better use
of the daylight by having the sun
rise one hour later in the morning
and set one hour later in the
evening. It sounds so simple on
paper…almost logical.
But what historians may not
tell you is that the concept was
originally embraced by Benjamin
Franklin--of “early to bed, early
to rise” fame--in 1784, almost on
a whim and because he thought it
might conserve candles.
That’s not completely relevant
now.
In recent years, to make DST
more palatable, all the Green
people (not St. Patrick’s Day
revelers, but Al Gore revelers)
have pointed to the tremendous
energy savings provided by DST
although I’ve never seen any
proof or statistics which were
impressive. Here’s the statistic
I found:
nationally, the total
electric savings associated with
DST was 1 percent in the spring
and fall months, and it was offset
by the increase of air-conditioner
use.
But if saving energy is the only
impetus for changing our time (as
well as our lives and metabolism)
twice a year, I’m willing to turn
off my lamps and burn a candle
for an hour. I’m already in the
habit of stopping my dishwasher
before it reaches the “dry” cycle,
laundering only large loads,
turning off lights and electronics.
So I’m careful about saving energy
with my household appliances
and I don’t need the federal
government messing around with
my clock (my health, my religion,
etc.). Please.
And especially not twice a year!
I could live with DST all year long.
But the up-and-down of this “time
sensitive” ruling makes me, well,
time sensitive.
Although
it
may
seem
straightforward on paper, the
time change renders me listless
and confused, unsure if I’m in Asia
or Florida, during the afternoon,
morning or evening.
We call this “clock confusion.”
I do admit that I enjoy the long
days of spring and summer, and
that’s part of the promotion: “it
lengthens days for the working
people and allows more ‘outdoor’
time.” But even without DST, our
days would have lengthened to
celebrate the season. Is it worth
manipulating an extra hour just
to navigate the darkest Monday
mornings of the year? This past
Monday--the first and darkest
Monday of DST--I felt as if I’d
been transported to another time
zone, another continent, another
universe.
Is this Alaska or Florida?
Or Jupiter?
Some scientists, specifically
chronobiologists,
say
your
circadian body clock never
recovers from this lost hour due
to the implementation of DST.
They cite decreased productivity,
susceptibility to illness and a “just
plain tired” feeling.
Obviously, they feel my pain.
Other experts, with credentials
which may be as questionable
as mine, suggest that the time
change can kill you. They back
up that statement with reports
which show there are more
traffic accidents on the Monday
following the launch of DST.
Think of all those sleepy people
on the interstate highways of
Atlanta, Ga., or Dallas, Texas, or
Los Angeles, Calif. It’s a recipe for
disaster.
Other experts track an uptick
in suicide rates and heart attacks,
pointing to the interruption of
sleep rhythms.
Some have pointed to a downfall
of SAT scores. In other words, the
time change can make us more
stupid.
On the bright side, fast-food
restaurants apparently sell more
French fries during DST, while
charcoal and lighter fluid sales
escalate. That’s proof enough for
some that changing the clock in
the spring is the right thing to do.
But not the old Indian who is
credited with saying, “Only the
government would believe that
you could cut a foot off the top
of a blanket, sew it to the bottom,
and have a longer blanket.”
Amen, and goodnight.

EXISTING
CONDITIONS:
The
proposed
project
area
encompasses eight parcels
totaling
14.02
acres.
Approximately 5.22 acres of the
project area consist of Waters of
the United States including
riverine and palustrine wetlands.
Located within the project area
is Spring Creek that flows in a
westerly
direction
to
the
Fenholloway River and receives
flow from a natural spring
located on the eastern portion of
the project area at Foley Park
and from a drainage feature
that originates northeast of the
project site. Property surrounding
the project site consists of both
privately and publicly owned
lands. Wetlands within the
project site north of the creek
have been disturbed by ongoing
maintenance activities (mowing)
performed within the floodplain
of the creek while the forested
wetlands within the project site
directly south of the creek are
largely undisturbed.
PROPOSED WORK: The proposed
project is to impact 5.17 acres of
Waters of the United States
including wetlands for the
construction of facilities that
improve stormwater capacity
and treatment and construction
of a public park. The proposed
stormwater
capacity
and
treatment improvement impacts
consist of construction of an
impoundment structure within a
portion of Spring Creek; removal
of a portion of existing roadway
and culverts (Washington Street);
littoral shelf construction and
planting; and installation of

County awarded $254,000
from FDOT to help widen,
resurface E. Ellison Road
Taylor
County
has
received an additional
$254,000 in state funding
to help widen and resurface
East Ellison Road, more
than doubling its original
budget.
At its meeting last
week, the Taylor County
Commission approved a
reimbursement agreement
with the Florida Department
of Transportation (FDOT)
to receive the new funding
through the agency’s Small
County Outreach Program
(SCOP).
Under this program, the
county receives money
from FDOT to widen and
resurface previously stateowned roadways.
At its Feb. 19, 2013,
meeting, the commission
approved a SCOP agreement
with FDOT to provide
$163,919 for resurfacing
East Ellison Road (CR
255A) from North Ellison
Road for approximately one
mile.
The agreement approved
last week provides an
additional $254,856 of
FDOT funding to offset
the widening cost of the
proposed
improvements,
County Engineer Kenneth
Dudley said.
Dudley
told
the
commission at last week’s
meeting that he was
contacted the previous week
by FDOT officials stating
they had been made aware
of excess funds turned back
in to them left over from
other completed projects
and would like to provide
additional funds to the East
Ellison Road project.
According
to
the
agreement, the county
has until Dec. 31 to have
a construction contract in
place and must complete the
project by June 30, 2015.

hit by the dropped load and
impaled by an uncapped
rebar.

defendants in the upcoming
suit.
The family claims neither
Kimberl, who had been
working at the site for only
six days when he was killed,
nor the other employees
involved, were given safety
training prior to the incident.
“David Andrew Kimberl
was killed because FDOT
and GLF Construction
Corporation concealed from
him the non-obvious risk of
serious injury or death by a
dropped load by failing to
keep clear of loads about to
be lifted or suspended loads
and because FDOT and GLF
Construction Corporation
knowingly failed to ensure
that redundant fail-safe
procedures were in place
prohibiting
employees
including Kimberl from
working in the non-obvious
zone of danger during an
unexpected
equipment
failure,” Matthew said in the
notice.
“In this case, both FDOT
and GLF Construction
Corporation placed three
18/19-year-old, un-safety
trained teenage boys in a
foreseeable zone of danger
while
concealing
the
unappreciated substantial
risk of grave injury or death
from them. Before these
boys were allowed to work
at all in the zone of danger,
they should have been
provided safety training
other than actual operating
or on-the-job training.”
Matthew also noted that
GLF was fined $25,000 by
OSHA in 2003 after being
cited for repeated violations
of failing to properly prevent
employees from entering
the swing radius of a crane’s
rotating
superstructure
on a project in Brunswick,
Ga.
“The company GLF, its
manager, its supervisor,
crane operator, rigger and
signal person committed
culpable negligence and/

continued in the notice.
As part of the contractual
requirements of the job,
FDOT required GLF to
maintain a policy of general
liability insurance affording
public liability insurance
with limits of $1 million per
accident and $10 million per
occurrence.
“Claimants respectfully
request that the State of
Florida evaluate this claim
