In death of murder suspect’s wife

Foul play not suspectedAccused double murderer

Paul McNutt appeared briefly in court Monday, just one day after his wife--and potential defense witness--Diane, 50, was found dead at the home they shared on Johnson-Stripling Road.

The Taylor County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) is investigating Diane McNutt’s death but said “there are no signs foul play was involved.”

An autopsy was

conducted Tuesday morning and investigators said that afternoon “it did not reveal anything that would indicate foul play in her death.”

Capt. Ron Rice said officers were called to the Johnson-Stripling residence around 10:35 a.m. Sunday.

“She (Diane) was found by a family member,” he said. “Our understanding is that she was living in the home by herself at the time of her death. There is no indication of foul

play, but we are actively investigating.”

A family member was allowed to visit McNutt at the Taylor County Jail (where he has been in custody since December 2011) to inform him of his wife’s death. Beggs Funeral home is handling memorial arrangements.

However, Diane’s death did not delay McNutt’s scheduled court appearance Monday.

Paul McNutt is facing

two first degree murder charges for the December 2011 shooting deaths of Lee Edward Spees Sr., 70, and his son, Lee Jr., 47.

He has also been indicted on a charge of attempted first degree murder while armed for the shooting of David Spees, 43, as well as a fourth count of shooting at a building.

During Monday’s hearing before Judge Greg Parker, McNutt’s case was continued until the next

court date in April.The shootings occurred

just a short distance from the McNutt home, which is situated facing Johnson-Stripling Road and bordered by a one-lane dirt road that leads back into the Spees property.

The dirt lane and the property easement related to it appear to be at the center of an on-going conflict between the two

11th annual bluegrass festival promises toe-tapping good time

The sweet chords of bluegrass music will once again fill Forest Capital State Park when the 11th annual Florida State Bluegrass Festival arrives April 4-6.

The festival will feature three days of music, workshops, arts and crafts as well as the annual Chili Cook-Off with more than $1,000 in cash and prizes.

“We have another great line-up of music this year,” Coordinator Dawn Taylor said. “There is a wide variety of styles which should appeal to all ages, which is great, because admission is free to anyone under the age of 18. So bring out the entire family.”

This year’s music line-up is headlined by IIIrd Tyme Out, featuring five-time International Bluegrass Musical Association Male

Vocalist of the Year Russell Moore.

The band’s most recent

success was with its partnership with Cracker Barrel restaurants for the

CD “Timeless Hits From the Past Bluegrassed,” made up of classic country hits

re-recorded in the band’s signature bluegrass style, giving a modern flair to the popular music originally recorded by Elvis, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, The Platters and John Denver, among others. The CD spent four weeks at number one on the Billboard Top Current Bluegrass Albums chart.

The festival’s line-up also includes The Roys, Little Roy & Lizzy, Shannon Slaughter & Country Clare, Skip Cherryholmes Quintet, Kenny & Amanda Smith, Florida State Bluegrass Band, High Cotton, Swiftwater, Stone Family Band and more.

Weekend passes are $15 in advance (which can be purchased online) and $20 at the gate. Saturday only

Taylor unemployment rate remains steadyTaylor County’s

unemployment rate remained relatively stable once again in January, but with several other counties seeing increases, Taylor fell out of the worst 10 counties in Florida.

For the month, Taylor had the 12th highest unemployment rate at 9.1 percent, according to figures released by the Florida Department of Economic

Opportunity (DEO) Friday.The numbers were late

this month because the state was conducting its annual benchmark revisions for the previous year’s data, officials said.

The county’s rate had been holding between 9.1 and 9.3 percent since October after falling from a 2012 high of 10.1 percent in July. (The revised December unemployment figure was

8.8 percent.)For January, Taylor

County had 854 people unemployed and 8,540 employed, according to DEO numbers.

Among Taylor’s neighbors, Dixie County had the highest unemployment rate with 10.1 percent, followed by Madison with 9.8 percent.

Below Taylor were Lafayette at 7.2 percent

and Jefferson County at 6.8 percent.

Hendry County had the highest rate in the state with 11.4 percent while Monroe County once again boasted the lowest with 4.6 percent.

Florida’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 7.8 percent in January, the lowest since November 2008 when it was also 7.8 percent. The January rate

was down slightly from the revised December rate of 7.9 percent and was 1.4 percentage points lower than the January 2012 rate of 9.2 percent. There were 740,000 jobless Floridians out of a labor force of 9,422,000. The U.S. unemployment rate was 7.9 percent in January. This was the first time Florida’s rate fell below the national rate since January 2008.

Foul play is not suspected in the death of a 25-year-old Brooksville man who was found dead at the Iron Horse Mud Bog here Friday night.

Justin Rashley and his family were among the thousands of mud truck enthusiasts who flocked to Taylor County for the weekend event.

“He was complaining of not feeling well earlier in the day, so his mother told him to day lie down in their tent. When she went to check on him several hours later, he was not breathing. They attempted CPR and EMS (emergency medical services) were called to assist, but it was too late,” Taylor County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) Capt. Ron Rice said.

Rashley was found later Friday night and deputies responded to the scene around 11.

Man, 25, dies at mud bog

The Perry Police Department continues to seek information in its investigation into a bogus bomb threat that temporarily shut down the Taylor County Courthouse last week.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Dwight Norris, Det. Gene Franklin or myself,” PPD Capt. Jamie Cruse said Tuesday.

“It is still an active investigation and we appreciate any information we receive.”

The threat was called in shortly before a regularly scheduled court date Monday, March 11.

More than 100 cases, including three for murder, were on the day’s docket.

Those cases were rescheduled for this past Monday (March 18) and additional security measures

Brown is cleared of all ethics complaints

The Florida Commission on Ethics has dismissed two complaints filed against Perry City Manager Bob Brown filed by a local business owner.

The Taco Times learned of the complaints in January.

Both were filed by Michael Frazier--owner of Frazier’s Auto Body & Repair--alleging misconduct in the handling of city property deeded to Brown’s daughter and her fiancé, and questioning the bid process used for the

Farmers Market Pavilion at Rosehead Park.

On Friday, March 8, the Commission on Ethics met in executive session and considered the complaints and voted in both cases to dismiss them for lack of legal sufficiency.

On the issue of the pavilion, the commission’s dismissal order states, “In order to indicate a possible violation of the statute, a complaint must allege, in a factual,

I am a lover of lists. I function at the behest of a List of Things To Do, and also make lists for each family member (which they adore): clean up your room, put up the ice chests, park the boat, don’t leave that wet towel on the floor, put salt in the water softening system.

I buy groceries with a list: eggs and bacon, fruits and vegetables.

I plan long-range improvements with a list: replace the carpet, pressure wash the patios.

In the midst of priding myself for my high level of efficiency, I began to realize that I was nothing more than a common a slave to my lists.

Until today, that is.This week, I have made a

conscious decision NOT to make a list. I refuse to pencil in anybody, or schedule anything.

If you want me, come find me.If you need a responsible person,

look on.I’m on leave. I am going to fly

by the seat of my pants, imitating the people I’ve admired for so many years.

Those you call FROM the meeting to say, “Where are you? We started 10 minutes ago…”

Those who say, “The wedding was this weekend? Well, I forgot…”

Those who maintain about anything, “Oh, that was tonight?” or “That slipped my mind.”

I’ve been rolling my eyes at those people all my life, but now for a few days, I’m going to become one.

The daughter married on Saturday, ending one of the longest lists I’ve ever made. For 13 months, I’ve been making lists of things to think about on certain months and days, at certain times and in certain places.

I had the family scheduled to the hilt: picking up tables, picking up tuxedos, picking up their socks.

I even had to make a Master List of my lists, and it occurred to me then—however briefly—that

I might have a problem and also that I had wiped out a small forest of trees while making lists in the pursuit of Happily Ever After.

Taking a page out of Barney Fife’s rulebook (in which the first rule is “Obey all rules”), I ended my Master List with this notation, “Make a new list.”

That’s when it really hit me.“Make a new list?” I questioned

myself. “Have you lost your mind?”

So I refused to make a list for this week. If I remember details, fine. If I forget details, fine. Highly efficient machinery requires “shut-down” for maintenance and this old body is no different.

So I’m on shut down.Of course I’m working.Of course I’m doing laundry.But I’m going for the bare

minimum, instead of squeezing the maximum out of my days or nights. I’m not multi-tasking myself into mental decline; I’m not borrowing the worry of tomorrow. I’m not getting up early to wrap presents, or staying up nights worrying about processionals.

I’m smelling some roses, some lilies, some freesia, some snapdragons, some ranunculus.

I’m walking and driving a little bit slower. I’m aiming for five miles below the speed limit, just to irritate the rest of you.

I’m talking slower which means more oxygen is available for other people, and you’re so welcome.

I’m living without a list for the first time since I was able to draw a letter.

The dictionary defines a listless person as one with a lack of inclination or impetus for exertion. The word is equated with “languid” and “spiritless.”

I don’t know or care if the word is Latin or Greek. All I know is that I can amplify the meaning of the word in a way Webster did not: a listless person is one without a list.

This week, glory hallelujah, that listless person is me.

Festival makes open call to local artisans

Time to repair the drips during Fix-a-Leak Week

Florida’s Public Service Commission (PSC) is encouraging Floridians to repair their dripping faucets and running toilets during the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Fix-a-Leak Week, March 18-24. Approximately 5 to 10 percent of American homes have severe water leaks that can drip away up to 90 gallons of water each day. That can amount to more than 32,000 gallons of wasted water every year-- enough to fill about three backyard swimming pools!

Sponsored by EPA’s WaterSense program, the fifth annual Fix-a-Leak Week aims to curb both severe and typical household water leaks, which average 11,000 gallons of wasted water a year. When combined, that’s more than 1 trillion gallons of water leaked from U.S.

homes each year, which equals the collective annual water use of Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami.

“Common leak repairs quickly pay for themselves through savings on water bills, and you’ll also be saving one of Florida’s most precious resources,” said PSC Chairman Ronald A. Brisé. “To help you identify and get started on your water leak repairs, look for the waterhouse illustration in our Drop by Drop brochure found on the PSC website.”

According to the EPA, fixing your plumbing and irrigation system leaks will lower your water bill by more than 10 percent. Repairing common household leaks is as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Check toilets for silent leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the

tank and seeing if the color appears in the bowl before you flush. Don’t forget to check irrigation systems and spigots, too.

2. Twist and tighten pipe connections. To save even more water without a noticeable difference in flow, twist in a WaterSense labeled faucet aerator or showerhead.

3. Replace the fixture if necessary. Look for the WaterSense label when replacing plumbing fixtures, which signifies the product has been certified to save water and perform well.

For more information on Fix-a-Leak Week visit www.epa.gov/watersense/fixaleak. To find the PSC’s Drop by Drop brochure and more water conservation information, visit www.floridapsc.com and click on “Publications.”

Health Start says ‘thanks’ for communication grant

At a recent Winter Conference of the 32 statewide coalitions that comprise the Florida Association of Healthy Start Coalitions, agency leaders unanimously determined that Moore Consulting group deserves a “thank you” from the organization.

One year ago, Moore Consulting Group formalized the establishment of a program to assist one organization annually with more than $100,000 worth of communications support. Their first chosen organization was the Florida Association of Healthy Start Coalitions. The program is called MCG IMPACT.

“The support of Moore Consulting Group took our organization to a new

level of communications – with each other, with our partnership base, and with the general population,” said FAHSC President Donna Hagan, who is also executive director of Healthy Start Coalition of Jefferson, Madison & Taylor Counties, Inc.

“Many non-profit organizations such as ours do not have a marketing and communications budget,” Hagan said. “We are committed to the people who need our services and the training of our workforce, so marketing and communications is often a luxury we cannot afford.”

In one year, MCG donated hours of time and expertise to help the Florida Association of

Healthy Start Coalitions formalize their internal communications, prepare communications materials for upcoming changes in their structure, and develop a communications package to align messaging and keep their individual coalitions on point with aligned messaging, Hagan continued.

“Not only did they provide invaluable assistance in the form of materials and messaging, but they taught us how to develop strong communications on a shoe-string budget with limited resources. It was a real gift to us,” said Dixie Morgese, communications chair for the association.

The Florida Association of Healthy Start Coalitions is challenged to work throughout Florida to assist expectant parents and infants achieve the best health and developmental outcomes possible.

“Moore Consulting took our mission and helped learn how to communicate its value to others,” Hagan said.

substantive, nonconclusory manner, that a respondent engaged in conduct in his public capacity which was inconsistent with the proper performance of the respondent’s public duties, that the respondent knew his conduct was wrong and that the respondent engaged in conduct in order to further a special interest, benefit or exemption for himself or another.

“The complaint substantively fails to indicate a violation of Section 112.313(6), Florida Statues,” the order continued. “Rather than indicate a corrupt use or attempted use of public position by the respondent to benefit ‘a long time friend’ or the respondent’s daughter, the complaint contains conclusory allegations about actions that merely reflect policy choices or governmental operational decision making by the city council, staff-supported by the respondent as city manager.”

The second complaint involved an allegation that Brown “gave a building lot to his daughter that was part of a lot deeded to the city that was intended for a park.”

His daughter received a parcel as part of the city’s land give-away incentive program. The commission’s report on this complaint notes the council’s minutes show Brown disclosed that it was his daughter making the request through the program and that “he and his wife do not have any financial interest in the property.”

“The complaint substantively fails to indicate a possible violation of Section 112.313(6), Florida Statutes,” the order again stated. “Rather than indicating a corrupt use or attempted use of public position by the respondent to benefit his daughter, the substance of the complaint merely reflects policy choices or governmental operational decision making by the city council, staff-supported by the respondent as city manager (who was candid, publicly and on the record, as to his daughter’s potential interests).”

tickets are $20 at the gate.In addition to the many

food vendors expected to set up on the fairgrounds, festival-goers will also have opportunity to sample numerous chili

recipes as well.“We have more than

$1,000 in prizes this year and are expecting a lot of different entries,” Taylor said.

The entry fee is $25 with categories including best chili and most unique. First place in each category will

receive $250, second place $150 and third place $100. There will also be a people’s choice prize.

“We have had the Perry Rotary Club and Perry Kiwanis Club challenge each other about which club can rustle up the most entries, and we’re also offering businesses a chance to enter their own chilis, with the best one receiving $100 to be donated to the charity of their choice.”

A-4 Taco Times March 20, 2013LivingHow do you rememberyour grandparents?By FLORRIE BURROUGHSShady Grove columnist

Modern-day farming is nothing like the back-breaking work that was done by our ancestors who farmed so they and their families could survive.

My maternal grandparents, the late Samuel W. Tedder and Mary Elma Hicks Tedder, were two of the hardest working people I have ever known. I don’t know when my Grandpa got a tractor but I am certain many months and years passed when all the work was done by mule, plow and other hand tools.

My grandparents worked very hard to produce and provide food. Fresh vegetables from the garden were preserved in glass jars cooked in a pressure cooker. Corn from the fields was taken to a grist mill in the area to provide meal and grits. Cane from the cane patch was crushed in a sugar mill; the juice was boiled in a sugar kettle and provided cane syrup for the table, often served with biscuits as a dessert.

Chickens provided eggs and meat. Hogs were butchered as soon as the weather started turning cool in the fall. I remember spending days with my family at my grandparents’ when they processed the hogs to provide hams and sausage.

Sweet potatoes and Irish potatoes were grown and preserved in “banks” made by digging a shallow hole about 3 or 4 feet in diameter and about ½ foot deep. The potatoes were placed on pine straw which was piled on the bottom and sides. Shelters over the banks were made in the form of tee-pees with an opening to provide access to the potatoes when needed.

Never an idle moment...And so it seems there was never an

idle moment around my grandparents’ home. In those days my mother did not work outside the home and she would take us over to the grandparents’ home often. I along with brothers and my only sister spent many happy days there.

Mama and Grandma would sew, cook, can vegetables and make jelly. A large grapevine produced the sweetest scuppernong grapes. And did we love to climb on the grapevine to reach the biggest and juiciest grapes, until Grandpa caught us and made us climb down.

And now to one of my favorite memories . . . the pie safe where Grandma stored her teacakes.

Often we went to Grandma’s after school and it seems she always served us teacakes.

Now I haven’t had teacakes in many years, but my mouth is watering just thinking about them. In fact I tried to find a teacake recipe among family recipes, to no avail, so here is one I found online, appropriately named.

Grandma’s Old Fashioned Tea Cakes.

1 cup butter1-3/4 cups white sugar2 eggs3 cups all purpose flour½ teaspoon baking soda½ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In medium bowl cream butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; stir into the mixture. Knead dough for a few turns on a floured board until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until firm.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface roll dough out to ¼ inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1-1/2 inches apart onto cookie sheets lightly sprayed with cooking spray.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

A legacy of love...In closing, I would like to mention the

faith of my grandparents. They loved God with their whole heart. They loved their children, grandchildren, friends and neighbors sacrificially. I didn’t know it as a child, but I now see their lives were not easy—though they didn’t seem to mind. Their greatest gift to us was and still is a very strong and sure legacy of love . . . a legacy that I hope we can hand down just as they did.

In singles play Claire Cruce won her match 8-3, Ashley Anderson won 8-5, Victoria Allbritton lost 4-8, Catherine Whiddon won 8-6 and Dulce Arzale won 8-2.

In doubles play Cruce-Anderson won 8-3, Allbritton-Whiddon lost 4-8 and Lilliott-Gregory won 8-3.

“Our girls are having a hard time of it due to a lack of experience but they are really working hard

and starting to show a lot of improvement,” TCHS Coach Gene Johstono said.

In the Lady Bulldogs 2-4 loss to Rickards on March 5, Cruce won her singles

match 8-4 and Whiddon won hers 8-2.

In a Feb. 28 match against Godby, Whiddon and Arzate won their singles matches both by a score of 8-5.

BY AUSTIN LAGOThe Taylor County

Middle School baseball team played host to Lake City Richardson Thursday and defeated the visitors 13-6.

The Bulldogs got off to a fast start offensively scoring 7 runs in the first inning. TCMS benefitted from 4 hits, 2 walks and 2 Lake City defensive errors to score the 7 runs.

The Bulldogs would later add 6 more runs, scoring 2 in the second, 1 in the third, and 3 in the sixth. Leading hitters for the Bulldogs were Will Albritton (2-2)

with a double, Zach Fike (2 -4) with a double, Blake Anderson (1-2), Willie Elder (1-4) with a triple and Caleb Wentworth (1-4).

Defensively the Bulldogs were plagued by 8 defensive errors. Despite the lack of defensive support, Bulldog pitchers Josh Mixon and Wentworth both turned in stellar pitching performances. Mixon faced 13 batters giving up 1 unearned run, 2 hits, 1 walk and striking out 2. Wentworth faced 20 hitters giving up no earned runs, 4 hits and one walk while striking out 5.

“It was a good thing Mixon and Wentworth had good pitching performances because our defense was horrible. You can’t beat good teams with those kinds of defensive mistakes,” TCMS Coach Jimmy Mincy said.

The coach said he was pleased with both James Parker and Will Albritton at catcher for throwing out several base stealers. He also noted that Blake Anderson recorded his first base hit as a Bulldog.

The Bulldogs were slated to play at Madison on Tuesday before entertaining Suwannee on Thursday.

‘Dogs extend winning streak to 8 gamesThe Taylor County High

baseball team won its eighth straight game Monday at Aucilla Christian by a score of 10-8 to run its season record to 11-4, 4-0 in district play.

Dylan Harty led the Bulldogs at the plate driving in two runs while slamming three hits in four trips to the plate. Chance Rodgers also drove in two runs on a 1-2 (double) effort.

Other top hitters included LaDarian Smiley (1-3, double), Gavin Lewis (1-3, 2 RBIs), Tristen Barfield (1-3) and Jonathan Collins (1-4, RBI).

Bulldog Coach Reggie Wentworth said his team

didn’t play to the top of their ability but still managed to win the game.

Wentworth said Gavin Lewis pitched well in relief, picking up his fifth win of the year.

“Gavin has been tremendous on the mound this year, especially in relief. We are starting to hit the ball now throughout the lineup and with our pitching and defense it gives us a good chance against everybody we play,” the coach said.

On Friday the Bulldogs notched their fourth district win against no losses with an 11-0 shutout of East Gadsden in Quincy.

TCHS pitcher Justin

Folsom threw the complete game shut-out allowing just two hits while striking out 8 batters.

Top hitters for the ‘Dogs were Folsom (3-3, 2 RBIs, 2 runs), Rodgers (2-2, double, 3 runs), Lewis (2-3, RBI) and Daniel Wentworth (1-3, double, 2 RBIs).

Harty hit 1-3 on the night with a bases-loaded double that scored 3 runs.

North Florida Community College, in partnership with Nu Omega Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., presents the Core Ensemble’s music theatre production “Ain’t I a Woman!” on Thursday, March 21, at 7 p.m. at Van H. Priest Auditorium.

The performance, combining chamber music with theatrical narrative, celebrates the life and times of four famous African American women: novelist and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, ex-slave and abolitionist Sojourner Truth, folk artist Clementine Hunter, and civil rights worker Fannie Lou Hamer.

The musical score is drawn from the heartfelt spirituals and blues of the Deep South, the urban vitality of the Jazz Age, and contemporary concert music by African American composers such as Charles Mingus, Thelonius Monk, Max Roach and Diane Monroe.

Actress Shinnerrie Jackson portrays Hurston, Truth, Hunter and Hamer on stage while interacting with the musical trio of cello, piano and percussion

performed by the Core Ensemble’s Michael Parola, Tahirah Whittington and Cyrus von Hochstetter.

In reviews of “Ain’t I a Woman!,” Paul Olsen of Augustana College said, “The humor, drama and music were spellbinding.” Phil Funkenbush of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum said, “I sat there in awe of how the music, the words, the acting were integrated into what I considered pure theatre.”
