Fire department hot topic with BOCCBy RANDAL SEYLER

638-0212 | @[email protected]

CHIPLEY — Tempers fl ared as the Washington County Board of Commissioners discussed the county fi re department’s spend-ing during Thursday’s BOCC meeting in Chipley.

Resident and newly appointed county planning commissioner Nan Thompson came before the board with questions about fi re department expenditures that

she had discovered through a search of public records.

“I’ve discovered some dis-crepancies with the Washington County Fire Department in Sun-ny Hills,” Thompson said, “and they concern me. I feel like this is important to me as a taxpayer.”

Thompson said the Sunny Hills Fire Department operated as a 501(c)3 non-profi t from 2009 to 2010, even as the department remained under the administra-tion of the Washington County government. “For a couple of

years, according to the minutes, the fi re department was operat-ing as both a 501(c)3 and as a county department,” she said.

reimbursement for the expenditures.

Thompson also told the board that records showed volunteers had been paid by the fire department for volunteering their time. “If you are getting paid, are you really a volunteer?” Thompson asked.

She also questioned the purchase of a computer and a computer tablet by the fire department at the cost of $1,740. “I would hope these are kept in a secure location at the fire department and not being used for personal use.”

She also questioned the board about the fuel expenses of the Sunny Hills department com-pared to other county fire departments and the re-cent purchase of building materials.

Fire Chief Al Gothard told the commissioners that every purchase the fire department made was done so on a county pur-chase order approved by either former county ad-ministrator Steve Joyner or former EMS director Roger Hagan.

“Every purchase we’ve ever made was approved, and went through the proper channels,” Gothard said.

Thompson also said

that the fire department’s training records are in-complete, a problem which could affect the communi-ty’s ISO rating, which in turn affects home insur-ance prices.

“The meeting notes are vary vague,” Thompson said. “I talked to a repre-sentative of the ISO and he said the notes have to state exactly who did what, and that is not there.”

Thompson said she only found records for 10 hours of training at the depart-ment. “They have $4,000 in extrication equipment and only 10 hours of train-ing. And this is the depart-ment that is supposed to be leading the way for all the other departments,” Thompson said.

Commissioner Lynn Gothard, who is married to Fire Chief Al Gothard, asked Thompson if she had gone to the fire chief for answers before coming to the board.

“Did you have anything to do with the TV reporter being here this morning?” Gothard asked Thomp-son, referring to WHJG’s reporter Bergen Baucom, who was in attendance.

“Your questions aren’t impartial,” Commissioner Joel Pate said to Gothard. “She’s got a vested interest

in the fire department.”Chairman Alan Bush

said he would like Thomp-son to present her findings to Fire Chief Gothard and allow him a chance to re-ply to the questions at a future date.

“I would like the board to consider some of the things I asked for,” Thomp-son said. “It looks like on a lot of things the county dropped the ball.”

Thompson suggested the county contact the state Fire Chiefs Asso-ciation to conduct an in-dependent audit of the fire department, but Commis-sioner Todd Abbott said the process could be han-dled in house.

“We have a county in-ventory control clerk,” Ab-bott said.

Fire Chief Gothard said that during his tenure as a department head, he has received no direction from the county and no instruc-tion in county policy.

“It’s the responsibil-ity of the new department head to learn his policies,” Pate said.

“Every purchase I ever made was approved by Roger Dale (Hagan),” Fire Chief Gothard said. “I have 31 years of experience in fire service, and she’s got zero.”

A major pest of ornamental shrubs, fruit treesBy Matthew Orwat

Special to the News

Many different species of scale insect infect citrus in Wash-ington, Jackson and Holmes counties, and mid-spring usually is when gardeners notice them on their fruit trees and ornamen-tal shrubs. Scale affects Florida homeowners and causes a host of problems in the garden and landscape. Citrus is particularly prone to scale infestations in North Florida.

The Satsuma tangerine, Citrus unshiu, currently is a fruit that is highly prized by home gardeners in the Washington-Holmes-Jack-son county areas and is prone to

scale infestations. Other plants especially prone to scale infes-tations are gardenias, Japanese magnolias and Southern mag-nolias. Now is the time to act to prevent heavy scale infestations since weather is warming and control methods cannot be used when daytime temperatures are very hot. This pest already has been observed at multiple loca-tions throughout the Florida Pan-handle in both home gardens and commercial production areas.

Scale often reduces tree and shrub vitality by ingesting sap that otherwise would be used by the tree for growth and fruit pro-duction. They also might cause premature fruit drop and defolia-tion. A secondary pest that might

occur as result of scale is sooty mold. Sooty mold lives off of the surgery secretions of the scale and can cause citrus leaves to look black and eventually drop.

The good news is that scale is relatively easy to control when managed in winter or early in the spring growing season. From October through May gardeners should use horticultural oil to control scale, particularly horti-cultural oil containing petroleum products. These products deprive scale insects of oxygen. This will smother them, but dead insects will need to be washed off if com-plete removal is desired.

Applications should be timed correctly since horticultural oil applications can burn plants once

the outdoor temperature reaches 94 degrees. A good rule of thumb is to apply horticultural oil on cool and cloudy days to minimize leaf damage. Always consult the label

of each individual product before application and never apply more than the recommended amount. This last statement is especially crucial for horticultural oil appli-cations, since increased rates are highly likely to damage plants. For more information, consult the UF/IFAS publication on citrus scale and the citrus pest manage-ment guide, which are available free of charge at the Washington County Extension Office and any other Extension Office through-out the state of Florida.

For more information and to obtain Official UF publications re-garding Scale Control, consult the UF/IFAS Washington County Ex-tension Office, 1424 Jackson Ave. Suite A, Chipley. 850-638-6180.

Help Florida create tobacco-free schools

Special to the News

While smoking is banned inside school buildings, not all school districts in Florida re-strict smoking and tobac-co use on all of their prop-erties or at their events. Comprehensive smoke-free school policies are an important step in building a healthier future for our youth. These policies cre-ate a safe and healthy en-vironment for students, faculty, and staff, while sending a clear mes-sage that tobacco use is not a socially acceptable behavior and about the dangers of tobacco use. Smoke-free schools re-duce exposure to second-hand smoke (SHS) and encourage smokers to consume less of this ad-dictive product — and to possibly quit.

The importance of de-normalizing tobacco use through positive role modeling cannot be over-looked. If students don’t see teachers, coaches, school faculty, parents and visitors using tobac-co, they will be less likely to think tobacco is accept-able and will be less likely to start using. Nine out of

10 current cigarette smok-ers started when they were teens. In Florida, more than 22,800 kids (un-der 18) become new ciga-rette smokers each year. Tobacco use initiation of-ten leads to a lifetime of addiction, resulting in to-bacco-related disease and premature death. Cur-rent data suggests that 369,000 Florida children, now under the age of 18, ultimately will die pre-maturely from their own smoking or from SHS.

The Center for Dis-ease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) defines com-prehensive school-based programs in its “Guide-lines for School Health Programs to Prevent Tobacco Use and Addic-tion.” The first guideline recommends that schools develop and enforce poli-cies to prohibit tobacco use by students, staff, parents, and visitors on school grounds; in school vehicles; and at all school-sponsored events, on or off school property.

In June 2011, Gov. Rick Scott signed a law amend-ing the Florida Clean Indoor Air Act to give school boards the author-ity to designate all district property as tobacco-free.

While it is not unusual for school boards to imple-ment policies requiring that buildings be smoke-free indoors, an increasing number of school boards throughout Florida have gone 100 percent smoke-free indoors and out.

Another important component of a compre-hensive school policy is to prevent pro-tobacco influences from reaching youth at schools. Such policies ban tobacco in-dustry sponsored mate-rials and services, and do not permit school dis-tricts to accept gifts from the tobacco industry.

Education is one of the most effective ways to prevent youth tobacco use and to keep them safe from exposure to SHS. Schools that are not smoke-free send conflict-ing messages to students about the dangers of to-bacco use and the health effects of SHS. It’s impor-tant to continue teach-ing Florida’s youth about socially responsible and healthy behaviors, includ-ing not using tobacco. Teaching by example is the first step in doing so.

Florida officials respond to Oklahoma tornado

From staff reports

TALLAHASSEE — Emergen-cy officials from across Flor-ida prepared to assist those affected by the Oklahoma tornado on Tuesday, follow-ing the destruction of Moore, Okla., by an EF5 twister on Monday.

The state medical exam-iner’s office in Oklahoma revised the death toll from a tornado in an Oklahoma City suburb to 24 people, includ-ing nine children.

Spokeswoman Amy El-liott said Tuesday morning that she believes some vic-tims were counted twice in the early chaos of the storm. Authorities initially said as many as 51 people were dead, including 20 children.

Elliott said nine children are confirmed dead, includ-ing seven who were pulled from the wreckage of an el-ementary school in Moore, 10 miles south of Oklahoma City.

Teams continue to search the shattered community after the Monday afternoon tornado.

The Florida State Emer-gency Response Team is in communication with emer-gency officials in Oklahoma and is working through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact to sup-port response efforts.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to those im-pacted by yesterday’s torna-do in Oklahoma,” said Bryan

W. Koon, director of the Flor-ida Division of Emergency Management. “Our teams are actively working through the proper channels to sup-port the survivors and first responders as they work to respond to and recover from this devastating event.”

Governor Rick Scott reached out to Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin on Tuesday.

“This morning I reached out to Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin and offered the heartfelt condolences of Floridians for families in the City of Moore whose com-munity was devastated by yesterday’s tornado,” Scott said.

“Florida is offering to help Governor Fallin with the re-covery by providing any state resources we can to help get this community back on its feet. These families desper-ately need our prayers and support, especially as they continue the search for their loved ones. Americans help one another — especially in times of crisis — and I en-courage Floridians to open their hearts and support credible organizations that are working to make this community whole again.”

All Floridians can help the survivors of this event by donating through estab-lished relief organizations. Donating cash through es-tablished relief organiza-tions allows for versatility to meet needs as they arise. If you have goods to donate,

be sure to confirm the need through a relief organization before donating.

“The best way people can help is to send a cash dona-tion to an established relief agency,” said Volunteer Flor-ida CEO Chester Spellman. “Material donations have to be sorted and transported, which can create more work for emergency responders. Cash is versatile, effective and meets survivors’ needs as quickly as possible.”

Floridians who wish to assist those impacted by the Oklahoma tornado are en-couraged to follow the “3 C’s” cash, confirm, and connect.

Cash — Financial gifts are the best way to immedi-ately help survivors. Donate to an established relief orga-nization. For a complete list of established relief organi-zations, visit: www.nvoad.org/members.

Confirm — A community hit by disaster does not have the time, staffing or money to dispose of unneeded do-nations. Confirm any and all donations are needed before sending.

Connect — Volunteers are a critical part of disaster response and recovery, but it is important to get connected to an established relief orga-nization before traveling to impacted areas to help.

‘Can do’ attitude goes farther than ‘Can’t do’You’ve heard about people

who have a “can-do” attitude. Give them a challenge, and they’ll tackle it head-on.

Unfortunately, there are also people with a “can’t-do” attitude. Not only does the can’t-do crowd avoid taking positive action, but will gripe endlessly from their armchairs about those who are actually making an effort to improve their lives, communities and country. There’s no pleasing the can’t-do gang. Try to improve your town, and they’ll tell you a hundred different ways it can’t be done. They’ll even complain about plans and policies that are clearly for their benefi t. Cities, clubs, workplaces and even religious organizations can quickly become infested with a can’t-do attitude. This attitude will poison a group if left unchecked.

I found this quote in the Jan. 10, 1924 edition of the Chipley Banner: “Did you ever stop

long enough to think that every time you knock your fellowmen you’re depreciating your own character, and that in almost every instance you are knocking only ten percent of his qualities which appear distasteful to you and are disregarding the other ninety per cent of his excellent virtues? It so happens that we all have something in our character, disposition, and general make-up that is more or less displeasing to the other fellow. Let’s be tolerant. Bury your little hammer for the year 1924, please.”

Maybe we should take that advice and bury the hammer for 2013, as well.

A hammer is an excellent symbol of what happens when we berate others. Would you walk up to your spouse, co-workers, children, parents or anyone else and attack them with a hammer? If so,

please check yourself into the nearest psychiatric facility immediately. Keep in mind that verbal and emotional abuse is still abuse, and causes wounds

that can last a lifetime. It can even lead people to suicidal thoughts. Before venting your anger, ask if the offense is severe enough that you’d use a hammer against the individual in question. Chances are excellent that you wouldn’t. So put down the verbal hammer.

There are ways to work out differences without causing physical or psychological harm.

The can’t-do outlook not only infects governments, businesses, schools and clubs, but also religious groups. Some people will tear apart their own religious institutions. I once watched a church dissolve into one bitter schism after another over unbelievably

trivial matters. Today, they don’t have to worry about it anymore, because the church no longer exists. The can’t-do contingent got their way and fi nally destroyed it. If you join a religious community (or anything else) only to realize later that it doesn’t suit you, it’s better to exit peacefully than to cause confl ict.

Don’t endlessly criticize people and expect to be taken seriously as anything but a public nuisance. Everybody has moments of complaining, but there’s a difference between minor complaints and ripping people to pieces. Think twice before cutting others down, especially if they’re trying to be part of the solution. Let’s become problem solvers instead of problem makers. As the 1924 Chipley journalist wisely concluded, it’s time to put away the hammer. Cultivating a can-do attitude can help us put it away for good.
