Luke is the son of Cody Taylor, former Holmes County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Brenda Taylor, retired Bonifay Elementary Guidance Counselor.

Luke graduated from Holmes County High School in l996. He earned an AA Degree from Chipola Jr. College and a BS in Criminal Justice from Florida State University while working a full-time job. In 2003 he earned his Doctorate of Jurisprudence from Mississippi College in Jackson, MS. Following graduation from law school, Luke returned home and began work for the State Attorney’s Office in the 14th Judicial Circuit. In 2006 Luke opened his private practice and handled a variety of civil and criminal defense cases. He has represented numerous clients in county court and circuit court locally. He has also represented clients before the District Court of Appeals and was successful in each of these cases.

This shows a clear understanding of Florida law and its interpretation and application, certainly an important attribute for a judge.

In 2008 Luke returned, part-time, to the State Attorney’s Office in Holmes County to handle felonies, misdemeanors and juvenile cases while he maintained his private practice there. Two years later, in 2010, his position with the State Attorney’s office involved his moving to Washington County to handle their misdemeanor and juvenile cases. Also, he has continued to maintain his private practice in Bonifay. Luke has also served as attorney for the Holmes County School Board, the City of Bonifay and the Town of Noma from 2009 thru 2015.

Luke is married to the former Meaghan Spear of Bonifay, daughter of Randy and Sandy Spear. They have three children, Elijah 5, Abram 2 and Lillian, three weeks. He is also a committed lifelong member of First Baptist Church of Bonifay, where he serves as Sunday School teacher, on various committees and has served as Chairman of the Deacons.

Luke says that he would like the opportunity to serve the citizens of Holmes County as their county judge. His preparation and experience is evidence that he is qualified to assume this role as Holmes County Judge. His pledge to you is that he will apply the law fairly and impartially, while using the “common sense” approach to determine each case. He looks forward to seeing you all on the campaign trail.

Finally, Luke would like to thank Judge Owen Powell for his service and dedication as Holmes County Judge and wish him the best in his well-earned retirement.

Parts of the following article are taken from ECT.Coop he bad guys are becoming ever more flexible and creative in the ways they scam electric cooperative members.

West Florida Electric Cooperative members have been contacted by these “bad guys” who claim to be collecting past due balances on WFEC accounts. These callers usually say that a members’ electric service will be disconnected without prompt payment.

“You never know who they’re going to be in a given day,” said Mike Morley, corporate communications manager at Midwest Energy in Hays, Kan. “They’ve adapted their tactics to where the same group will impersonate a number of utilities.”

Morley, who first spoke to ECT.coop about scams in March 2013, said that it used to be victims threatened with disconnection were told by scammers to buy a prepaid card and that they’d be called back in a couple of hours. 68339001 “Now they call and say, ‘This is Midwest Energy. Your account is past due and we need you to call us back,’” Morley said, adding that spoofing software fools the caller ID into displaying “Midwest Energy.”

“When they call back they get a voice menu that sounds exactly like ours.

And it’s not just us—other utilities have reported this.”

A Midwest Energy staffer called the toll-free number posing as a member using a phony name and account number, and was told they owed $780.

The staffer was even instructed to go to a specific nearby store to buy a ReloadIt prepaid card.

When an ECT.coop reporter dialed the same number another day, the recording claimed it was Eversource, a New England investor-owned utility. Upon reaching a live person, the reporter gave a phony location in Eversource’s Springfield, Mass., territory. After tapping on a keyboard, the man on the phone told the reporter there was a $997.78 delinquent balance and to go to a supermarket two miles away to buy ReloadIt cards and call back with the numbers. 97396001 When the reporter told the man that the address was actually in the middle of a river, the man responded, “I’m playing around

with you.” When asked why on another day the same phone number was Midwest Energy, the reply was, “Because I can do what the hell I want.”

Asked how much they were making scamming people, the reporter was told, “All you need to know is that we doing OK.” Meanwhile, in Colorado, Durango-based La Plata Electric Association is warning members about another scam in which businesses are told to pay $500 to a “meter man” who will be there within the hour.

“Every time we turn around, there’s a new twist,” said Steve Gregg, LPEA chief operating officer. He said victims are told the person is coming to install a new “GPS meter”—something that doesn’t exist. 17664001 “We want our members to understand that we also have these problems locally. They continue coming around again and again, and the scammers are getting more creative and more aggressive with their tactics,” said Terry Mullen, WFEC Manager of Marketing & Communications. “The best advice would be to never give personal or financial information over the phone unless you initiate the call”, he continued.

How To Clean Refrigerator Coils ...and why it matters!

Y

our refrigerator is one of the largest, most-used appliances in your home. It requires only minimal maintenance – just simple cleaning of the condenser coils, which disperse heat. If the coils are covered with dust, gunk or pet hair, they cannot diffuse the heat properly and will not run efficiently. A bigger problem can result if the compressor burns out from having to run constantly because of the grimy coating. This can be an expensive problem. The bottom line? A minor investment in time once a year can save you cold cash down the line.

2010 Ford Fusion SE, crimson color, 1. Locate the refrigerator’s coil, a grid-like structure, or fan that will likely 100,000 miles, $7,400; 638-2999. have a covering or grate protecting it. The coil is usually concealed behind the front toe kick or in the back. Some newer models have internal coils, so 1997 4WD GMC truck, 198,000 miles, new transmission @160,000, if you don’t find them in the front or back, this may be the case with your 4-horse Colt goose neck trailer, fridge.

25-years-old, both for $5,000; 6748462.

2. If the coil is in the back, slide the refrigerator away from the wall, removing the plug from the electrical outlet when possible. You may also need to disconnect the line to the water dispenser or icemaker to allow enough room to work.

In cold weather, warm air rises in your house, just like it does in a chimney. This air, which you paid to heat, is just wasted as it rises up into your attic and sucks cold air in all around your home’s windows, doors and through other holes into the lower levels of your home. 27432003 Sealing leaks and adding insulation can improve the overall comfort of your home. Most homes in the United States don’t have enough insulation and have significant air leaks. In fact, if you added up all the leaks, holes and gaps in a typical home’s envelope, it would be the equivalent of having a window open every day of the year!

Some common places to search for leaks in your home include: • Behind kneewalls • Attic hatch • Wiring holes • Plumbing vents • Open soffit (the box that hides recessed lights) • Recessed lights • Furnace flues or duct chaseways (the hollow box or wall feature that hides ducts) • Basement rim joists (where the foundation meets the wood framing) • Windows and doors To find out more about caulking, sealing and preventing air infiltration, contact one of WFEC’s energy experts today at 800.342.7400 or visit www. westflorida.coop.

How To Clean Refrigerator Coils ...and why it matters!

Y

our refrigerator is one of the largest, most-used appliances in your home. It requires only minimal maintenance – just simple cleaning of the condenser coils, which disperse heat. If the coils are covered with dust, gunk or pet hair, they cannot diffuse the heat properly and will not run efficiently. A bigger problem can result if the compressor burns out from having to run constantly because of the grimy coating. This can be an expensive problem. The bottom line? A minor investment in time once a year can save you cold cash down the line.

2010 Ford Fusion SE, crimson color, 1. Locate the refrigerator’s coil, a grid-like structure, or fan that will likely 100,000 miles, $7,400; 638-2999. have a covering or grate protecting it. The coil is usually concealed behind the front toe kick or in the back. Some newer models have internal coils, so 1997 4WD GMC truck, 198,000 miles, new transmission @160,000, if you don’t find them in the front or back, this may be the case with your 4-horse Colt goose neck trailer, fridge.

25-years-old, both for $5,000; 6748462.

2. If the coil is in the back, slide the refrigerator away from the wall, removing the plug from the electrical outlet when possible. You may also need to disconnect the line to the water dispenser or icemaker to allow enough room to work.

with you.” When asked why on another day the same phone number was Midwest Energy, the reply was, “Because I can do what the hell I want.”

Asked how much they were making scamming people, the reporter was told, “All you need to know is that we doing OK.” Meanwhile, in Colorado, Durango-based La Plata Electric Association is warning members about another scam in which businesses are told to pay $500 to a “meter man” who will be there within the hour.

“Every time we turn around, there’s a new twist,” said Steve Gregg, LPEA chief operating officer. He said victims are told the person is coming to install a new “GPS meter”—something that doesn’t exist. 17664001 “We want our members to understand that we also have these problems locally. They continue coming around again and again, and the scammers are getting more creative and more aggressive with their tactics,” said Terry Mullen, WFEC Manager of Marketing & Communications. “The best advice would be to never give personal or financial information over the phone unless you initiate the call”, he continued.

Parts of the following article are taken from ECT.Coop he bad guys are becoming ever more flexible and creative in the ways they scam electric cooperative members.

West Florida Electric Cooperative members have been contacted by these “bad guys” who claim to be collecting past due balances on WFEC accounts. These callers usually say that a members’ electric service will be disconnected without prompt payment.

“You never know who they’re going to be in a given day,” said Mike Morley, corporate communications manager at Midwest Energy in Hays, Kan. “They’ve adapted their tactics to where the same group will impersonate a number of utilities.”

Morley, who first spoke to ECT.coop about scams in March 2013, said that it used to be victims threatened with disconnection were told by scammers to buy a prepaid card and that they’d be called back in a couple of hours. 68339001 “Now they call and say, ‘This is Midwest Energy. Your account is past due and we need you to call us back,’” Morley said, adding that spoofing software fools the caller ID into displaying “Midwest Energy.”

“When they call back they get a voice menu that sounds exactly like ours.

And it’s not just us—other utilities have reported this.”

A Midwest Energy staffer called the toll-free number posing as a member using a phony name and account number, and was told they owed $780.

The staffer was even instructed to go to a specific nearby store to buy a ReloadIt prepaid card.

When an ECT.coop reporter dialed the same number another day, the recording claimed it was Eversource, a New England investor-owned utility. Upon reaching a live person, the reporter gave a phony location in Eversource’s Springfield, Mass., territory. After tapping on a keyboard, the man on the phone told the reporter there was a $997.78 delinquent balance and to go to a supermarket two miles away to buy ReloadIt cards and call back with the numbers. 97396001 When the reporter told the man that the address was actually in the middle of a river, the man responded, “I’m playing around

Luke is the son of Cody Taylor, former Holmes County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Brenda Taylor, retired Bonifay Elementary Guidance Counselor.

Luke graduated from Holmes County High School in l996. He earned an AA Degree from Chipola Jr. College and a BS in Criminal Justice from Florida State University while working a full-time job. In 2003 he earned his Doctorate of Jurisprudence from Mississippi College in Jackson, MS. Following graduation from law school, Luke returned home and began work for the State Attorney’s Office in the 14th Judicial Circuit. In 2006 Luke opened his private practice and handled a variety of civil and criminal defense cases. He has represented numerous clients in county court and circuit court locally. He has also represented clients before the District Court of Appeals and was successful in each of these cases.

This shows a clear understanding of Florida law and its interpretation and application, certainly an important attribute for a judge.

In 2008 Luke returned, part-time, to the State Attorney’s Office in Holmes County to handle felonies, misdemeanors and juvenile cases while he maintained his private practice there. Two years later, in 2010, his position with the State Attorney’s office involved his moving to Washington County to handle their misdemeanor and juvenile cases. Also, he has continued to maintain his private practice in Bonifay. Luke has also served as attorney for the Holmes County School Board, the City of Bonifay and the Town of Noma from 2009 thru 2015.

Luke is married to the former Meaghan Spear of Bonifay, daughter of Randy and Sandy Spear. They have three children, Elijah 5, Abram 2 and Lillian, three weeks. He is also a committed lifelong member of First Baptist Church of Bonifay, where he serves as Sunday School teacher, on various committees and has served as Chairman of the Deacons.

Luke says that he would like the opportunity to serve the citizens of Holmes County as their county judge. His preparation and experience is evidence that he is qualified to assume this role as Holmes County Judge. His pledge to you is that he will apply the law fairly and impartially, while using the “common sense” approach to determine each case. He looks forward to seeing you all on the campaign trail.

Finally, Luke would like to thank Judge Owen Powell for his service and dedication as Holmes County Judge and wish him the best in his well-earned retirement.
