By GWENETH COLLINSSpecial to the News

CHIPLEY — In recogni-tion of 2013 Florida Arbor Day, Chipley Garden Club honored one of Washington County’s own, T.J.Roulhac, with a Tree Dedication Cer-emony on Friday.

A group of almost 70 friends, family and garden club members attended the event at the Washington County Historical Museum. Local offi cials in attendance included Lee Dale Kennedy and Ellis Reed, Chipley city councilmen.

After Club President Kar-en Roland’s welcome, the Rev. Price Wilson offered an opening prayer. Club mem-

ber Josephine McGlamery spoke of Mr. Roulhac’s life and his many contributions to the educational commu-nity. She recalled her time at the Florida Department of Education saying, “The Roulhac name came up time and time again.” She shared his love of family and of strong family ties.

“His name lives on to-day at our state-of-the-art Roulhac Middle School, in the educational community of our state and in the many educators in his own fam-ily. We can proudly say T.J. Roulhac is one of our own,” McGlamery said.

Several Roulhac family members also spoke, includ-ing Roulhac’s grandson, Ed-

win A. Bethea of Tallahas-see, who thanked Chipley Garden Club for recognizing Roulhac’s efforts. Bethea re-marked, “His strong legacy affected not only himself but many others as well.”

Josephine Roulhac Rob-inson-Floyd, a grandniece, shared several personal memories of her uncle and brought smiles to the group.

The tree dedicated is a “Carolina sapphire” cy-press, a drought-resistant rapid growing evergreen.

“When you plant a tree, it shows you believe in the fu-ture. Thomas Joseph Roul-hac planted a seed many years ago which grew into

Special to the News

CHIPLEY — Before the regularly sched-uled workshop and meeting on Monday, Jan. 28, the Washington County Tourist Development Council will recognize the retirement of one of its longest serving members, James “Jim” A. Town.

While on the TDC, Town helped to im-plement new the By-Laws, Policy & Pro-cedure Manual and a Strategic Plan that will assist the TDC with planning through 2018. Town also created the TDC’s cur-rent accounting system and revenue re-porting. He helped pave the way for the TDC to hire its own administrative assis-tant through the county. He also helped set up a day trip program in conjunction with Jackson County’s TDC and created the contract for a future tour operator.

Town graduated from Michigan State University with his B.A. in marketing in 1965. He also completed infantry offi cer and airborne school that same year. Af-ter being discharged as a captain in 1968, Town continued his service to his country in the U.S. Army Reserve, where he re-tired as a colonel in 1995.

In early 2003, Town moved to the Florida Panhandle and founded Business Evaluation & Appraisal Inc. in Sunny Hills while continuing as an associate broker with Prime Business Investments in Atlanta.

CHIPLEY — At the third Thursday meeting of the Washington County Chamber of Commerce, Chipley Gar-den Club member Vivian McDon-ald announced the City of Chipley’s January Yard of the Month has been

awarded to 1212 Court St., the home of Martha Nebel.

The uncommonly warm winter weather brought a huge bed of snow bells to full bloom beneath a large dogwood tree.

year’s celebration is “Building the Dream on the Foundation of Faith.”

The memorial service followed the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade in downtown Chipley.

The MLK celebrations began Saturday with Education Day at the park. Among the booths at Education Day were Florida Kid Care, CARE (Chemical Addictions Recovery Ef-fort), Washington County Supervi-sor of Elections, Washington County Sheriff ’s Offi ce, Department of Juve-nile Justice and Covenant Hospice. The rap group Seago also performed on Saturday.

Whitehurst is an attorney with the Knowles & Randolph law fi rm in Tal-lahassee. She graduated from Flori-da State University College of Law in 1988 and fi rst worked as assistant state attorney with the Second Judi-cial Circuit State Attorney’s Offi ce.

In 1991, she was hired as an assis-tant general counsel with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, where she prosecuted law enforce-ment offi cers, correctional offi cers and probation offi cers in formal ad-ministrative hearings throughout the

state of Florida. She also provided training to offi cers around the state pertaining to the professional stan-dards in their fi eld and the offi cer dis-cipline process and was frequently asked to serve as a guest lecturer on various law enforcement topics.

From 1994 to 2000 she served as as-sistant city attorney for the Tallahas-see City Attorney’s offi ce, and in 2002 she joined Knowles & Randolph.

“Most of us dream,” Whitehurst said. “But it is the good dreams that we want to build on.”

She said the Bible is full of ex-amples of men whose faith in God allowed them to fulfi ll their dreams, including Joseph, Job, Moses and Je-sus. Likewise, Dr. King’s faith allowed him to pursue his own dream.

“Dr. King never gave up on his dream,” Whitehurst said. “He suf-fered just as much as Joseph, but he built his dream on faith.

“I dare you to dream today,” Whitehurst said to the young people in the audience. “Trust in God, keep the faith and see what God can do for you.”

She warned that people will try

and shake your faith and demean your dreams. “People without vision will call your dreams impractical, downright impossible,” Whitehurst said. “But where would we be today if not for Dr. King’s dreams?”

This year marks the 50th anniver-sary of Dr. King’s “I have a dream” speech and Monday’s national holi-day honoring King also saw the fulfi ll-ment of another dream — the second inauguration of President Barack Obama, Whitehurst said.

“Fifty years ago it was a radi-cal idea for a black man to have big dreams, much less to dream to be president,” she said. “Big dreams can come true, and it was a big dream for him, and it is a big dream for us,” Whitehurst said of the president’s inauguration.

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person to make it,” she said, describing President Obama’s philosophy. “We have to be the change we want to see.

“Progress can be made, dreams can come true,” Whitehurst said. “With faith in God, your dreams can come true, too.”

Additionally, commercial real estate transactions are conducted through Commercial Property Invest-ments in Georgia and Florida, which Town founded in 1992.

Town has been a member of the International Business Brokers As-sociation since 1997 and became a certifi ed business intermediary in mid-1998. He also qualifi ed as an in-structor for IBBA on several courses offered nationally, helped write three courses and served on the Educa-tion Committee for 10 years. In 2007, Town’s service to the largest busi-ness intermediary organization in the

world was recognized when he was appointed a “Fellow of the IBBA.” He continues as an active member and has served since 2010 on the By-Laws Committee.

In addition to being the qualifying real estate broker for commercial real estate fi rms in Florida and Georgia, Town also holds a Florida Real Estate Instructor license and helped estab-lish the pre-license sales and broker programs at the Washington-Holmes Technical Center in 2005. He also served on their board along with Take Stock in Children and the Washing-ton County Scholarship Trust. He has

also been a member of the Institute of Business Appraisers since 1996 and is a member of the Bay County Associa-tion of Realtors and the Chipola Area Board of Realtors, as well as serving as a member or on the board of many other organizations.

After the presentation and re-ception commencing at 4 p.m., the monthly TDC workshop will convene immediately, followed by the regular meeting at 5 p.m.

Roland concluded by an-nouncing the Chipley Gar-den Club provided 30 oak trees free to the guests who would like to plant a tree at home to honor and re-

member Roulhac. Guests were invited to enjoy light refreshments in the Wash-ington County Historical Museum and to view the sketched portrait of T.J. Roulhac by Karen Roland, which has been donated to the museum’s collection.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade

Photos by RANDAL SEYLER | The News

Washington County residents celebrated the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Monday with a parade in downtown Chipley, followed by a memorial service and celebration at Artis Gilmore Park. The theme of this year’s celebration is “Building the Dream on the Foundation of Faith.”

Time spent recently in the Vernon Historical Society Museum, housed in the semi-retired former Vernon High School Building, inspired last week’s column.

Mentioned were bus drivers who drove students into Vernon School, along winding, narrow clay roads, beginning in Caryville and zigzagging the maze of turns and overlaps before fi nally arriving in Vernon. This has stirred my memory of other drivers of that era who overcome untold hazards of driving and tirelessly delivered students safely to school.

James Elearzor Galloway II drove the biggest bus of the fl eet, bringing a host of children, including many of his own, all the way from Millers Ferry and Hinson Cross Roads to Vernon. This was a long ride along treacherous roads, especially in rainy weather when slick clay top soil sent many school buses plunging into ditches. Other bus drivers usually came to the rescue as sending for a wrecker was out of the question.

This writer recalls that Mr. Galloway always wore a tie when dressed for his bus route. Two of his sons, Wester and Callis, served as his substitute drivers. They parked the oversized bus on the southwest corner of the school building during school hours and

many students, including yours truly, used it as an “escape” lunch room. The

country boy from Brackin School still wanted to “hide” as he he ate his home packed food, usually consisting of two home made biscuits, one fi lled with sausage or ham and the second one lined with fi g preserves.

The beautiful story of the Galloway family is a feature of the Heritage of Washington County Book, released in 2006 and re-issued six months ago in a fourth printing. The “Prattler” has the books for sale and I am convinced that the additional supply of 200 books are moving out as fast at the original publication.

Other drivers of my era in Vernon School includes Mr. Hosea Varnum and Mr. Gordon Mercer of the Deadening and Greenhead areas. My longtime friend, Doug Jones, rode to Vernon with Mr. Mercer, who had the record of driving the smallest bus on the routes. Being small in stature, Doug told the story on himself that he admired the oversized Hinson Cross Roads bus pulling into the School campus and further envied the size of the boys who came swaggering off the bus, including Willie Green Hinson, Heber J. Galloway, Lorainne Hammock, Mack and Bert Railey and others who were much larger than Doug. He claims that he found himself wishing for

the opportunity to get to visit Hinson Cross Roads one day, a feat which seemed out of his reach at that time.

Mr. Jack Haddock drove a bus into Vernon from the Bonnet Pond community, looping into Wausau and other areas to the east. He, too, could have at least half-fi lled his bus with members of his on family. I love the story from Clifton Haddock of recent years when asked if all the Haddock Children received their education at Vernon High School. His reply was “yes, all the schooling that any of us got was at Vernon,” then concluded by saying “All of our college education was gotten at home!” Mr. Jack Haddock also served a long tenure as Member of the Washington County School Board before retiring. The interesting story of the Haddock Family is included in the above mentioned Heritage of Washington County Book.

Mr. Johnny Perkins, Mr. Jim Jenkins, Mr. Will Sheffi eld, Mr. Paul Morrell, Mr. Donnie Brock, Mr. A.M. (Ang) Swindle, Mr. Jeff Bush and Mr. Berness Russ are among a host of school bus drivers remembered from the 1940s, Most of the drivers owned their buses and many were able to use the bus in other forms of transportation which helped them supplement the rather meager salary they were paid for their bus driving services. Hauling U. S. Government Surplus Foods to Vernon’s early lunch room for serving as lunches, were passed around among a number of drivers who were willing to

participate in this endeavor. The writer remembers that Johnnie Perkins was the driver who delivered the 1944 Vernon High School Graduation Class to Marianna in his well worn, oil burning bus, for the Senior Picture. The quality photograph received that day is one which most of us have held onto and treasured for many years.

At the 2012 Swindle Family Reunion, Aliene Swindle Hightower and her sister, Etta Ruth Swindle Carter, presented a historic photograph of former Vernon High School Bus Drivers of the past to your writer, which will accompany this weeks

“Prattle”.Those kneeling, left

to right, are R.E. (Rob) Hudson, James Jenkins, D.E. (David) Cook, C.W. Todd and Clark Rogers. Standing, left to right, Roland Jenkins, R.V. Sheffi eld, J.A. (Alex) Wells, H.T. Waller, A.M. (Ang) Swindle, Odis Hmmock and Ernest Worthington. At the time of this picture, Clark Rogers was the man of seniority with 12 years of service and R.V. Sheffi eld was the new man on board with one year to his credit. Many of these pictured drove buses until retirement.

Some of the above drivers have full family histories contained in the highly prized Heritage of Washington County Book referred to in this writing. Cousin Wilma Wells Stubbs, in writing the history of her dad, told of his school bus driving experience as “a job just made for him and he was made for the job!”

See you all next week.

Schools need the right people

Dear Editor,Thank you for printing

something about us in your paper. Holmes County Times-Advertiser has not yet done so.

Channel 7 News attended but somehow screwed up the video, and when I asked them where was our story they declined to follow through at all. I feel as though we are being swept under the carpet and our wishes are not being heard on this matter.

The Board has chosen to do exactly as they want to do parents be damned. I found the most interesting thing about the meeting that came to my attention has not been mentioned so far by anyone.

I was unaware until Tuesday’s meeting that in Holmes County Zeb Brown was the only principal with the credentials to back him up. Stacey Thompson is not accredited. Why would

anyone want to remove the one and only principal in all of Holmes County that has the educational level to be principal and replace him with one that doesn’t. Why has Holmes Co. residents allowed this substandard for our principals to go on? Does anyone know about this and not care or are we willing to allow our children to continue to receive less than a decent education from people who would rather line their own pockets then make healthy decisions for our community.

We need to make note of these things because there is always another election around the corner. We have a right to a fair education for our children and we have incredible talent in our young people that is not being utilized to its fullest. We need to fi nd the right people that want to help us achieve all that we can to make our neck of the woods the best it can be.

Students need ‘more qualifi ed personnel’

Dear Editor,One the evening of

Jan. 15, 2013, I went to the Holmes District School Board Meeting. The main meeting room was full so approximately 50 of us concerned citizens were standing in the attached offi ce.

Unfortunately we could hear nothing. It would have been nice if a microphone and speaker was used. A large crowd was expected so a change of venue to a larger facility would have been nice.

Here is what I would have informed all. A few years ago Zeb Brown was assigned a group of students at Bethlehem Middle School, as the year progressed it became obvious that is attendance was poor. Many times I understand his girlfriend was in the classroom, not Zeb Brown. She was more of a sitter, not a teacher. Therefore these students

were deprived of the complete education, which the citizens of Holmes County were paying Zeb Brown to produce to our most important asset, our young people. How many similar situations have occurred or are occurring?

The administration at the time of this occurrence is gone so they can’t be fi red but Zeb Brown should be. According to recent articles in the HCTA Zeb Brown puts the students fi rst. Obviously that is incorrect. The students were severely short changed. Where was he? He was taking a culinary course.

There must be more qualifi ed personnel in the system who would put the students fi rst as they should be.

I understand there are numerous complaints both in writing and on a web site. There are others who feel as I do about this situation.

IN THE FLORIDA EVERGLADES (AP) — The man known as “Alligator Ron” has a lifetime of experi-ence in the Florida Everglades, a fl eet of airboats at his disposal and knows the habitats of furry prey for large reptiles. He still couldn’t lead a pack of hunters to a single Burmese python.

That’s the catch in Florida’s “Python Challenge”: Even ex-perienced hunters with special permits to regularly stalk the exotic snake through Florida’s swamplands are having trou-ble fi nding them for a state- sponsored competition.

“When these snakes are in the water, in the vegetation, they blend in naturally to where you can’t hardly see them,” said state wildlife commissioner Ron Bergeron, whose nickname is emblazoned on the rudder of his black airboat, over the im-age of him riding an alligator.

The vast majority of roughly 1,000 people who signed up to hunt Burmese pythons on pub-lic lands from Jan. 12 through Feb. 10 are amateurs when it comes to pythons. Only about 30 hold permits for harvesting pythons throughout the year.

The permit holders might have a slight edge when it comes to handling snakes, but the tan, splotchy pythons have natural camoufl age that gives them an important advantage in the ecosystem they have invaded.

As of Thursday, 21 pythons had been killed for the con-test, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

It is diffi cult to pin down how many Burmese pythons slither through Florida’s Everglades, but offi cials say their effect is glaringly obvious. According to a study released last year, sightings of raccoons, opos-sums, bobcats, rabbits and other mammals in the Ever-glades are down as much as 99 percent in areas where pythons are known to live.

It’s believed the pythons de-vour the native wildlife, and of-fi cials worry the snakes’ vora-cious appetite will undermine the ongoing, multimillion-dollar effort to restore natural water

fl ow through the Everglades.Bergeron led U.S. Sen. Bill

Nelson, D-Fla., into the Ever-glades to hunt pythons Thurs-day afternoon. They splashed from their airboat through knee-deep water into several islands that rise in small bumps above the sawgrass, but they al-ways emerged empty-handed.

They didn’t fl ush out any of the mammals Bergeron thought he would see, either. The only thing they did fi nd: signs of feral hogs, another problematic invasive species.

“Rabbits were like rats. Growing up, you saw them ev-erywhere,” said Jim Howard, a Miami native and a python permit holder participating in the contest. “I haven’t seen a rabbit in 20 years. I don’t see foxes. I hardly see anything.”

He has caught a python in the Ever-glades in each of the last two years, though. Each was more than 12 feet long and con-

tained more than 50 eggs.He returned to those loca-

tions Wednesday, poking under ferns and discarded wooden boards with a hook at the end of a 3-foot-long stick. All he found were the sheddings of some large snake — each trans-parent scale was the size of a fi ngertip.

After spending hours steer-ing his boat along 14 miles of canals to levees and embank-ments where pythons might lurk, Howard extended the hook toward the dense, impenetrable grass that stretched all

the way to the horizon, with no landmarks or vantage points.

Millions of acres in any di-rection in the Everglades are exactly the same. From that perspective, the hunt for well-hidden pythons seems futile.

“We’re looking at inches,” Howard said.

Offi cials say the number of pythons caught during the con-test isn’t as important as the data they provide.

“I’m

going to be ecstatic if we see 100,” said Frank Mazzotti, a University of Florida professor of wildlife ecology who is help-ing the commission with the contest.

He continued to low-ball expectations for the fi nal tally. “I’m happy with 11. I’m going to be happy with whatever we have. The small number only proves that they’re really hard to fi nd,” he said.

The state hopes to use the information from python nec-ropsies — particularly what’s in their stomachs — to improve their attempts at dealing with the snakes.

“Our list of what pythons eat is not complete yet,” Mazzotti said.

The population of Burmese pythons, an invasive species in Florida, likely developed from pets released into the wild, ei-ther intentionally or in the af-termath of Hurricane Andrew in 1992. They can grow to be more than 20 feet long and have no natural enemies in Florida other than very large alligators or cold weather, which drives heat-seeking snakes onto sun-ny roads and levees.

Florida prohibits owning or selling pythons for use as pets, and federal law bans importa-tion and interstate sale of the species.

Mazzotti had one tip for hunters frustrated by the py-thons’ near-invisibility: Stop and listen for a dry, rustling sound in the grass.

“It sounds like something large,” he said.

[email protected]

One of the trappings of youth often is the inability to see beyond today.

However, Cory Callo-way and Trent Forrest will have no trouble picturing a bright future as long as they continue on the suc-cessful path they’ve traced thus far.

Calloway is the less-sea-soned of the two as a Port St. Joe eighth-grader play-ing in only his second year of organized basketball. Forrest is a freshman who was thrust into a leadership role on Chipley’s defending state championship team and comes armed with a pedigree in the sport.

The AAU teammates are prominent components of two young basketball programs, each with one senior apiece. Chipley also features high-scoring soph-omore Tyrome Sharpe. Port St. Joe complements Callo-way with freshmen T.J. Wil-liams and Chad Quinn, the Tiger Sharks’ second- and third-leading scorers.

But Calloway and For-rest have stood out among the pack for various rea-sons, their coaches said. And with both playing in the Rural Class 1A, there’s little doubt they could be waging postseason battles for many years.

Forrest, a 6-foot-4 ath-lete who can play any posi-tion, is in his fi rst season on the varsity. Chipley is a traditional high school fed by middle school programs, so Forrest had to wait until the ninth grade to play at the varsity level. Calloway is able to play on varsity since Port St. Joe is a 6-12 school.

Forrest immediately was thrust into a position to re-

place the leadership and scoring prowess of the de-parted Alex Hamilton and Cameron Dozier, the duo leading Chipley to a 1A title and now playing college basketball. Chipley coach Joel Orlando said Forrest has fi t perfectly into his new surroundings.

“He’s been able to do it with strong character, a good basketball IQ, good ac-ademics and a strong family background,” Orlando said. “All of those things help him be so special.”

Forrest’s father played basketball at Chipola and an uncle competed at Clem-son. The lineage not only mapped out future success, but it helped teach Forrest about handling pressure and staying focused.

“I knew that I was going to have to step up,” said For-rest, who averages 22 points per game. “They (his father and uncle) told me that these things would come sooner or later. I’m used to it, I was ready.”

Forrest has never been one to shy from competing against older players. He stood in during practices with the East team of the Freedom All-Star Classic as an eighth-grader and made some of the seniors work harder than expected.

It’s this determination that separates him from other players, Orlando said.

“He’s competitive in ev-erything he does and that is contagious,” Orlando said. “He carries himself like a senior on and off the court, too.

“But he does what we need. He could be the lead-ing scorer or pass the ball a lot, dives on loose balls, takes charges.”

And in turn the rest of his teammates has fallen into roles, Orlando said.

Forrest is the leader and he takes the job seriously.

“I know the team looks to me so I always want to do my best,” Forrest said. “I know there’s a lot I can do, a lot I can improve on, but I just need to stay grounded.”

Calloway said the same, but his answers were often tinged with a wry smile while trying to restrain his confi dence. Port St. Joe coach Derek Kurnitsky said Calloway is a player who knows he’s good, displays it on the court and isn’t afraid to talk about it.

That said, Kurnitsky added that Calloway is like a fresh oyster plucked from the Gulf of Mexico in near-by Apalachicola.

“He’s averaging 19 and really has no clue how to play the game,” Kurnitsky said of the 6-2 guard. “He’s so raw, it’ll take a few years for him to get used to the game, but he’s a worker.”

That much is evidenced by Calloway’s desire to shoot the basketball. It’s apparent in games, with Kurnitsky giving him the green light to pull the trig-ger, and also when he’s not with the team.

“One day it was pouring rain, and I got a call from my assistant coach,” Kur-nitsky said. “He said ‘Guess who’s outside shooting?’ When you shoot in the rain you know you’re good.”

Calloway played youth baseball prior to high school and was plucked from the diamond to the court by Kurnitsky. Like Forrest, he shows little fear of competing against play-ers often three or four and sometimes fi ve years older.

“I like the challenge,” he said. “I knew I was go-ing to have to play a big role with this team, be a leader

and I’ve done pretty well already.”

That’s a bit of an un-derstatement. Calloway has routinely led the Tiger Sharks in scoring and also won a recent game with a shot at the buzzer against South Walton. Those ac-colades don’t amount to much, he admitted, given there is a lot of time left in his still young prep career.

His list of improvements includes working on his skills to the right side for the left-hander as well as becoming a well-rounded player. That means becom-ing dominant on defense and not only as a scorer.

Kurnitsky doesn’t worry about Calloway becoming a complete package. He compared him to Hamilton, the latter blossoming dur-ing his freshman season at Bay and turning into one of the area’s best players af-ter transferring to Chipley.

Calloway has designs on evolving into an NBA-type performer. He understands there’s a long way to go be-fore that process even can be considered.

“I do have to take it one game at a time,” Calloway said. “I focus on the game right now, then think about the next one and the next.”

Also helping Calloway is a rich tradition at Port St. Joe fi lled with state cham-pionships and outstanding players. Kurnitsky is aware of the history as are many of the longtime faculty at the school. He parroted Forrest in saying Calloway must keep a level head.

“There are so many great players from Port St. Joe, the teachers tell him that,” Kurnitsky said. “He isn’t the best with the tradi-tion here, but he has time. I think that helps keep him grounded and motivated.”

BONIFAY — After the Holmes County Blue Devils’ junior varsity pulled a last-minute 27-26 win over the Baker, the Blue Devils’ varsity team gained a sound victory against the Gators with a score of 70-50 on Fri-day, Jan. 18.

After every period the Blue Devils maintained an almost 10 point lead against the Gators.

“We have a big, big man,” said HCHS head coach Poe White in reference to Chris Walker. “He poses quite a problem for the other teams.”

Walker recently signed on with the University of Florida.

White said though this was a good win he didn’t think he was where he thought they should be as a team.

“We’ve got to get better,” he said. “We’ve got to get back to playing as a team and stop being selfi sh with the ball.”

He said they started the season very well.“We’re struggling right now with bulling the ball,”

said White. “We started the season with good chemis-try and I hope we’ll get back to that before the end of the season.”

CHIPLEY — The Washing-

ton County School Board

approved the 22-plus acre

site between South Boule-

vard and Brickyard Road as

the future home of Kate M.

Smith Elementary School

on Monday night.

District Maintenance

Director Mike Park re-

viewed the process the Site

Selection Committee had

gone through in choosing

the new location for the

school.“This has been an on-

going process of about 20

years,” Park said, “and

over the years, some of

the names on the commit-

tee changed.” In October

the Department of Educa-

tion visited the elementary

school to determine the

need for a new facility. Five

days later, DOE issued the

fi nding that there was a

“critical need” for a new

elementary school in Chi-

pley, Park said.

With that information,

the selection committee

met in late December and

again on Jan. 3 to discuss

the choice of school site,

which came down to either

stay at the current loca-

tion, or move the school

to the 22-plus acre tract of

land the district owns that

stretches between South

Boulevard and Brickyard

Road.Not all of the committee

members were able to at-

tend the Jan. 3 meeting, so

Park polled the committee

last week at Superintendent

Joe Taylor’s request, and

the committee recom-

mended relocating the

elementary school to the

new site.“With the funding, this

is likely to be a two-year or

three-year funding cycle,”

Park said. “That was an im-

portant consideration, we

really don’t want to try and

have construction going on

while we are also having

school.”

TALLAHASSEE — For the fourth year in a row, the Florida Department of Edu-cation/Macy’s Teacher of the Year is a contender for the National Teacher of the Year award.

Alex Lopes, Florida’s 2013 Teacher of the Year, was named one of four finalists for the prestigious award by the Council of Chief State School Officers. He joins educators from Maryland, New Hampshire and Wash-ington in line for the national award. The winner will be announced at a White House ceremony during National

Recognition Week on April 21-16 in Washington, D.C.

Gov. Rick Scott said “Flor-ida’s teachers are the back-bone of our classrooms and they help students obtain the skills and talents they will need to get a job, build a family, and live their version of the American Dream. I look forward to continuing to find ways we can support our educators so they have the tools they need to suc-ceed. On behalf of all Floridi-ans, I would like to wish Alex the best of luck.”

“Florida has a strong tra-dition of quality, passionate educators and Mr. Lopes is no exception,” said Commis-

sioner of Education Dr. Tony Bennett. “It is important to recognize those who go above and beyond in the teaching profession and serve our stu-dents so diligently. I congrat-ulate Mr. Lopes on being a

finalist for one of our nation’s highest teaching honors.”

Lopes is a prekindergar-ten special education teach-er from Carol City Elemen-tary School in Miami-Dade County.

BONIFAY — Sue Brown was elected the new presi-dent of the Holmes County Historical Society during their regularly scheduled meeting Thursday, Jan. 10.

Otheres elected were Buford Williams, secretary; Lavonne Tardif, treasurer; David Bevan, historian; and John Coomer stepped down from management duties to

assume responsibilities as a lifetime member of the His-torical Society.

Williams said the biggest trouble facing the Histori-cal Society was diminishing membership.

“We’ve got to cry for help,” Williams said. “Due to members dying off or not attending any more, the Historical Society is in dire need of help.”

He said membership dues were only $10 and they meet at 4 p.m. on the second

Thursday of each month at the Historical Society at 412 W. Kansas in Bonifay.

“This is a plea out to any-one who has interest in pre-serving the history of Hol-mes County,” Williams said. “We don’t want to end up like that tomb stone up north that reads: ‘Here lies Lester Moore; Four slugs from a .44; No Les No Moore.’ ”

Williams said one could be a supporter and/or mem-ber of the Holmes County Historical Society with-

out having to attend the meetings.

“We don’t want our Hol-mes County Historical Soci-ety to die on the vine,” said Williams. “I know there’s people out there who are willing and wanting to sup-port their history. It’s our roots and our history we’re trying to protect, and we ap-preciate all the support we can get.”

At the previous meeting on Nov. 8, Tardif noted the money in the bank as reads,

$278.03 should read $268.03 and it was approved.

Member Sue Williams said Buford Williams had sent his letter on improv-ing our membership to the editor of the Holmes County Times-Advertiser but did not know if it had been print-ed as of that date.

Bevan said he was still working on “Dr. Paul’s con-

tribution to our community” and plans to search for fur-ther information in the lo-cal library. He also reported that he cleaned the grave of George Banfill, founder of Bonifay.

The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Holmes County Historical Society will be held at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 8.


SOUTHPORT — Gulf Coast Electric Co-operative Compliance Officer Lacy Pet-tis recently completed the Occupation-al Safety and Health Administration’s 30-hour Outreach Training Program in construction.

The OSHA Outreach Training Pro-gram for the construction industry pro-vides training on the recognition, avoid-ance, abatement and prevention of safe-ty and health hazards in workplaces.

This training helps ensure workers are knowledgeable about workplace haz-ards and their rights and contributes to increased productivity.

Gulf Coast Electric Cooperative is part of Touchstone Energy.

About 75 employees serve more than 20,000 meters and 2,500 miles of line in Bay, Calhoun, Gulf, Jackson, Wal-ton and Washington counties and in the municipalities of Wewahitchka, Ebro, Lynn Haven, White City, Fountain and Southport.


As winter break comes to a close, nu-merous students find themselves back at home with a fridge full of leftovers. For many pet owners, this means a few less trips to the store for pet food. While sharing lunch with your four-legged friend is possible, owners should real-ize that your pet has particular dietary restrictions it must follow to guarantee that it stays happy and healthy.

“People enjoy sharing food with their pets, it is part of the bonding process,” said Deb Zoran, doctor of veterinary medicine, and associate professor at Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medi-cine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM). “But proper control of the types and amounts of food pets are served is cru-cial for its safety.”

“For example, a diet consisting too high of fats can very dangerous for dogs, even causing such problems as di-arrhea or in severe cases pancreatitis,” Zoran said. “The additional calories found in average table foods can also lead to obesity problems in your pet if not controlled.”

These problems arise not from the food itself, as whole foods such as meat and potatoes are very nutritious and well digested, but from the many spic-es added and the food not being in the proper balance for the pet.

“The food itself is perfectly good for our pets,” Zoran said. “If owners want to feed human food and are willing to follow prescribed recipes set up by a nu-tritionist, then it is an excellent way to meet their nutritional needs.”

Choosing to feed your pet in this fashion also leaves the owner with the responsibility for meeting their pet’s proper nutritional needs, which are different for dogs and cats. Chicken is

an excellent and frequently used meat source to feed pets, with the fat removed for dogs and left in place for cats.

“Generally high fat things are poten-tially very problematic for dogs, while cats don’t need carbs in their diets at all,” Zoran said. “Spices and season-ings, especially onions, capsaicin, and other additives are all potentially prob-lematic in your pet food as well.”

Bear Wrongs PatientlyThe fifth spiritual work of mercy is to bear wrongs patiently. Bearing wrongs patiently does not, how-ever, mean being a doormat for others to walk on. It simply means that, regardless of the wrongs which we suffer, we should bear them all patiently. For ex-ample, if you have had something stolen from your unlocked car, this virtue requires that you treat this with patience and equanimity, but not that you con-tinue to keep your car unlocked. It is more about the attitude that you have concerning the wrong done to you. We might take a lesson from the ancient stoics, who counseled that every event has two handles, as it were, one by which it can be borne and one by which it is unbearable. Remember that everything here is temporary and that liars, thieves, and even murderers really have no power over our immortal souls. Finally, consider the example of Jesus in his last days. Faced with false charges and inhuman torture and suffering, he prayed for his accusers and tormentors. We should show patience by praying for those who wrong us, realizing that they are the ones who have truly been harmed by their misdeeds.

For one is approved if, mind-ful of God, he endures pain while suffering unjustly. For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for it you take it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you take it patiently, you have God’s approval. R.S.V. 1 Peter 2:19-21

Personally, I sure will be glad when January is over. If confession is good for the soul, then let me have a good soul cleansing and confess that January is not my favorite month of the year.

At the beginning of each year, a certain resident in our home begins acting like an angel and starts harping about a diet. But, not just “a diet.” I could take that, I think. Rather, “my diet.” What my diet has to do with her is a question I have yet to ask.

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to ask no question I do not want to hear the answer. Believe me when I say ignorance is bliss.

The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage is a health nut, whereas, I am just a plain nut with lots of fudge icing on the top. As nuts are concerned, I prefer nuts with fudge icing.

Every year right after Christmas and before the New Year comes in, my wife and I have this conversation about the upcoming diet. I need to

correct myself here. When I use the word “conversation,” I probably should use the word

“monologue.” When it comes to diets, I have absolutely nothing to say. My wife on the other hand, has plenty to say and when she is saying it to me, she holds nothing back.

When it comes to diets and dieting, I have my own ideas about the whole matter. I do not

see myself as fat, just post-thin. For arguments sake, let’s say I am fat. I take refuge in the Bible along this line, which says, “All the fat is the Lord’s” (Leviticus 4:16b KJV).

If I was to argue with my wife, which I promise you I am not going to, I could lay all of the blame about my being post-thin on her. I have pictures to prove my point. Before we got married, I was very thin. Now look at me! I don’t have to draw a picture for you, do I?

Along this line of diets, I think I am doing rather well. I have come up with ideas that have made me quite comfortable

along this line.Last week I bought a dress

shirt and brought it home. When I tried it on it was three sizes too big for me making me look rather thin. I love that shirt. That shirt was made for people like me. Every time I wear that shirt in public somebody usually says, “You must’ve lost a lot of weight.” I just smile.

I have other shirts in my closet that have brought me no end of grief. Here is what I want to know. Why do my shirts get thin but I don’t? After all, we go to the same places and eat at the same restaurants. There is something here I believe I am missing!

Whenever I am off on a trip somewhere my wife always says just as I leave, “Make sure that you watch what you eat while you’re away.”

I am delighted to report to her or anybody else who will listen that I always watch what I eat. After all, I would hate to take a bite of broccoli by mistake. Therefore, I watch every bite I eat to make sure it is as delicious as possible.

My wife is always

encouraging me to eat more fruit. I believe fruit is a matter of personal opinion and preference. My wife believes that bananas are fruit. I, on the other hand, believe that a banana split is fruit.

My wife has the idea that an Apple a day keeps the doctor away. I have a different slant on that idea. I believe an Apple Fritter a day keeps everybody away.

When it comes to salads, my wife is the crowned queen of salads. She has a golden touch when it comes to making salads. If I am not careful, she will serve me a salad three times a day. Another thing I need to watch out for with her salads. Occasionally, she will try to slip in some form of broccoli. For some unknown reason she believes broccoli is the panacea for all ills nutritionally.

As diets come and go, my diets usually go without leaving a trace behind them. Years ago, I got serious about a diet and was determined to lose 25 pounds of ugly fat. Much to my chagrin, I lost the other fat instead. Now look at me!

The diet phase is beginning to run its course as we come to the close of January. Towards the end of January, my lovely bride begins thinking of Valentine’s Day. For me, whatever gets her attention off my diet is good news any day of the week.

I suppose it is true what people say that you are what you eat. I further suppose that it is important to eat the right things. Not only is that true physically but also spiritually. The Bible has something to say about this.

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby” (1 Peter 2:1 KJV).

Nothing is more important in my daily routine than feasting on the Word of God. I may not do very well on my physical diet, but I do take special care about my spiritual diet.

He was ordained at Hickory Hill Baptist Church, of which he was a charter member. His first-time pastorate was at New Hope Baptist Church in Holmes County. During that time, he was employed at Eglin Air Force Base.

In 1953, Dan Padgett enrolled in Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, where he received the Master of Divinity.
