Suspect in ‘04 50¢ CLJ includes The Calhoun-Liberty News armed robbery tax .com arrested; DNA OURNAL J Volume 31, Number 47 Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2011 match is made by Teresa Eubanks, Journal Editor Blountstown Police Chief Rodney Smith felt sure he knew who committed the armed robbery at City Liquors seven years ago but couldn’t prove it. The suspect, Michael Edward Mosley, showed up at the scene minutes after a man dressed in camouflage took $250 from store clerk Dorothy Hammock at gunpoint Nov. 17, 2004. “He was nervous, fidgety and sweaty,” recalls Smith, who was then a police officer. “He kept asking me what was going on.” Smith noted that Mosley fit the description given by the store clerk of a black male over six feet tall of average build. Tracking dogs followed a trail from the store toward Mosley’s home before losing the scent. Along the way, some camouflage coveralls as well as a stocking mask, blue socks, boots and a gun were found discarded on the ground. The clothing was sent to the FDLE lab in Pensacola. “They took DNA off the clothing but found no fingerprints,” he said. Mosley dropped out of sight after moving to South Florida. “I had FDLE looking for him for a long time,” said Smith. “Wage and hour couldn’t find him either.” urkey But this past Monday, which was Mosley’s 45th See SUSPECT CAUGHT continued on page 11 Time Hiers convicted of bank fraud from the U.S. Department of Justice Jed Hiers, 50, of Bristol, Florida, was convicted Thursday, Nov. 17 of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and nine counts of making false entries in bank records with the intent to deceive bank examiners.

Black bear conservation workshop held in Bristol Tuesday evening Approximately 80 people gathered for last night’s FWC workshop on black bear conservation at Veterans Memorial Park Civic Center in Bristol. Many who object to restrictions on controlling the bear population were told that the black bear will remain a threatened species until a management plan is in place. Audience members challenged the FWC’s information on the bear population. Bobby O’Bryan, (left) said FWC cared more about bears than people and referred to a study from 2002 that reported that only 13 bears were living in the east panhandle. “There’s 600 or more bears in Liberty County,” said Rodney Smith (far left), who questioned the methods used to tally the bear population. This was the first of four workshops planned across the state in which FWC presents its draft plan for the black bear population. ANGIE DAVIS PHOTOS

HEADING commentary November 23, 2011 THE CALHOUN-LIBERTY JOURNAL Page 7 Thanksgiving... the most American of all our holidays Thanksgiving remains the most American of all our by nationally holidays. Thanksgiving be- longs to everyone. It is truly syndicated columnist an ecumenical day without sectarian divide. To fully MARK celebrate Thanksgiving, you do not have to belong to any SHIELDS particular religious group or tradition, or for that matter, to belong to any religious group or tradition. No costumes or expensive purchases required. No loud music or forced late-night gaiety or painful next-morning hangover. Happy Thanksgiving. Even in this fourth consecutive winter of economic dis- content and dislocation, I believe there are many reasons to be thankful on Nov. 24, 2011. Here are just a few reasons I am grateful. •I am thankful that no cable news channel has yet come up with the most self-absorbed program imaginable: A Show All About the Media — Where Members of the Media Discuss the Role of the Media in the Continuing Media Coverage of the Media. •Recalling that Thomas Jefferson, the man who gave this nation our citizenship papers, once wrote: “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.” I am personally appreciative that we have never been forced to make that choice. And I continue to believe that the next, new chap- ter to be written in American journalism will not be Chapter Nine. •I am happy that I have yet to be ‘bitten’ by the vampire craze. •I am encouraged that so many countries of the world — from Eastern Europe to the Pacific — have been inspired by U.S. democracy and chosen to emulate our model in some form in their own constitutions. But I am happy that, in all those newer democracies, not a single one of them has de- cided to copy our disastrous Electoral College. •I am grateful that on this Thanksgiving Day, to cover those awkward conversational dead-spots occasionally encoun- tered, we have a terrific football game with the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers, undefeated this season, traveling to Detroit to take on the improving Lions. •After that, the Dallas Cowboys against the Miami Dol- phins, followed, if you’re up to it, by the University of Texas against Texas A&M. •I appreciate American ingenuity and know that it is only a matter of time before some marketing genius comes up with the one fragrance that would make every woman irresistible to most men — a perfume that smells like a brand-new car! •While I continue to miss him keenly, I am happy that I had as a friend a man as witty and wise as the late John Reilly, who so brilliantly deflated the self-important personal assistant/palace guard-type who, often with a faux-British accent, officiously asks, “Can I tell him the subject of your call?” Reilly’s answer(s): “You can tell him I’m calling with the judge’s ruling on his alimony payments,” or, “Certainly, I’m calling with the confidential results of his blood and drug tests.” •I appreciate that not all the audiences at the Republican presidential debates were so mean that they would loudly heckle the Special Olympics. •I am grateful that nobody knows that I was such a rube when I first came to Washington that I thought the Majority Whip was a leather bar in the Bay area. •We all ought to be grateful for this piece of wisdom: If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you. Happy Thanksgiving!
