BONIFAY — Bonifay Fire and Res-cue and Holmes County Emergen-cy Management Services teamed up this year for the second an-nual presentation of $2,000 to the Toys for Tots fundraiser arranged though Bonifay Elementary School’s Christmas Angel Program on Dec. 5 at BES.

“We’ve been doing little fund-raisers here and there for our local children for many years, and be-cause it wasn’t very organized and some issues with discrepancies, we partnered with Bonifay Elemen-tary School two years ago,” said Bonifay Fire Chief Shay McCor-mick. “They have a better grasp at what children need, and we’re just

happy to help.”This is the fi rst year with the

Holmes County EMS helping raise funds, and both emergency groups stood at the intersection of State Road 90 and State Road 79/Wauke-sha Street, raising the $2,000 with a boot drive.

“It was pretty emotional be-cause we’d have people in Bent-leys just drive on by, and then we’d have families in vans scrapping for change and giving all they can,” Mc-Cormick said. “We’ve been touched by the generosity and kindness of our own.”

Laura Sims of BES’ guidance department said the money would be used to help 70 children.

“The generosity of those who gave and the hard work from our lo-

547-9414 | @[email protected]

BONIFAY — Attorney Brandon Young came before the Bonifay City Council during Monday’s meeting as legal representative of a subdivision that might be devel-oped on Griffi th Circle in Bonifay.

“As a representative, I would like to request the requirements needed to present the plat for ap-proval,” Young said.

Tony Syfrett with Southeastern Surveying and Mapping Corpora-tion came before the council during their Nov. 25 meeting with designs for a subdivision on Griffi th Circle off of State Road 79 in Bonifay, say-ing he was told the subdivision was approved of in 2008.

Grant Writer Bob Jones said the council needed some clarifi ca-tion of what was approved in 2008 before they could approve of any-thing and move on, which after much discussion was approved to be tabled until further review

CHIPLEY — Washington and Hol-mes Counties were two of many counties discussed as the Florida Department of Transportation had its annual meeting on the tenta-tive work program for fi scal years 2015-19.

The meeting was Tuesday, Dec. 3, at the FDOT District 3 offi ce in Chipley.

“We’re gathered here today to review the fi ve-year work plan for fi scal years 2015-2019, which re-mains tentative until July 15,” said Jacqueline Paramore, statewide Title VI administrator for FDOT. “The budget remains at $3 billion, just like last year, and 2017 has an enormous spike and that is related to the replacement of the Pensac-ola Bay Bridge, also known as the three-mile bridge. This project will cost $500 million to replace, which goes to show that one project can

make a signifi cant change.”Paramore reviewed the sum-

mary of changes made recently to Holmes County’s plans.

“For Holmes County, there are a lot of bridge replacement projects underway,” Paramore said.

Those listed for bridge replace-ment are Riddick Mill Road over Un-named Branch Bridge, Jones Loop over Pine Log Creek Bridge, Whita-ker Road over Lighter Snag Creek Bridge, Hicks Road over West Pitt-man Creek Bridge, Valee Road over

Blue Creek Bridge and Hicks Road over West Pittman Creek, Bridge Number Two.

There is also a bridge rehabili-tation scheduled for State Road 20 over Lafayette Creek Bridge.

“There will be a Project Devel-opment and Environmental study of State Road 79 from State Road 8 to the Alabama line,” Paramore said. “For those of you who are local you are aware of Project 79, where

we’ve planned and have been funded for the widening of State Road 79 to the inter-state, now we’re advancing it to the Ala-bama state line.”

Other proposed projects include a re-surfacing project for State Road 2 from County Road 177 to Ten Mile Creek; a Small County Outreach Program to re-pave Thomas Drive from State Road 79/Waukesha Street to the Washington County line and for Deacon Road from County Road 173/Jenkins Road to Sand-path Road; a Small County Road Assis-tance Program to repave County Road 183A from County Road 10A to the Wal-ton County line; and a Transportation Regional Incentive Program to overlay the runway at Tri-County Airport.

“For Washington County there will be several projects to widen and repave roads to include adequate right of way,” Paramore said. “These projects’ fund-ing will be spread out over the course of 2015, 2016 and 2017.”

These projects include State Road 77 from the Bay County line to north of Country Road 279; State Road 77 from north of County Road 279 to the north Sunny Hills entrance; State Road 77 from the north Sunny Hills entrance to one mile south of Wausau City limits; and State Road 77 from north of Coun-ty Road 279 to the north Sunny Hills

entrance.“We have a lighting project because

we still don’t have lighting at State Road 8 off of I-10, which is the Caryville exit,” Paramore said. “We also have a Project Development and Environmental Study for State Road 77 from North of Blue Lake Road to the Jackson County line, and that is the beginning study for 2018, which started in 2006 for a possible by-pass alternative.”

There are resurfacing projects for State Road 20 from the Walton County line to the Bay County line and State Road 77 from South of State Road 8/I-10 to Fifth Street and a Small County Rural Assistance Program to pave Shakey Joe Road from end of pavement to County Road 284/River Road.

“Chipley Sidewalks Phase II is a com-bination of two different projects, where all work will be done under this one proj-ect,” Paramore said. “This includes Sin-clair Street from County Road 273/South Boulevard to Forrest Drive and Third Street from Pine Avenue to County Road 273/South Boulevard.”

There is a Transportation Alternative project for sidewalks on Pine Avenue from Usery Road to Third Street.

“This is where the city will manage the project and then be reimbursed,” Paramore said.

could be made.Young said the prelimi-

nary plot was approved of in 2008, and construction had started and roads were paved; however, because of the economy, the company fell apart and the project “fell by the wayside.”

“Everything was done to state standards,” Young said. “The roads were at Department of Transpor-tation standards, there’s a holding pond, the water lines have been pressure tested and there are no lots less than half an acre just in case they want septic there.”

City Attorney Lucas Tay-lor said several steps need-ed to be completed before a plat could be presented to the council.

“There were a few things missing,” Taylor said. “For instance, there is a spot for certification verification to

be double-checked, and it was unsigned; a title search for the plat must be signed, and it wasn’t. It’s just a few things needed before it could be admitted into pub-lic records.”

Young agreed to have the document reviewed and resubmitted with all the ap-propriate details attended to.

Robert Wesner with Di-xie Youth basketball came before the Council to dis-cuss possible times teams can practice at the Bonifay Recreational Center.

The council agreed to check the schedule and dis-cuss with him all the avail-able days.

The council also ap-proved of deeding an al-leyway to Robert Urquart, landowner of the surround-ing property.

“The issues that come are primarily with two land-

owners; however, in this case it is one owner that owns both sides of the land,” Taylor said. “Because he has utilities all around his property there are no con-cerns with him land-locking anyone.”

The council agreed to Council Member Rich-ard Woodham’s request to place a timer on the lights at the basketball court next to Veterans’ Memorial Park, so the lights will come on at dark and shut off at 10 p.m.

“There are guys who’d like to go out there and play, but it’s getting awfully dark awfully quick nowadays,” Woodham said. “I think one well placed timer could work for all them lights.”

Because of the Christ-mas holiday, the City Coun-cil approved canceling its Dec. 23 meeting. The next scheduled meeting will be at 6 p.m. Jan. 13.

BES Principal Rodd Jones thanked the community for its contributions.

“We are blessed to belong to such a loving and generous community where they treat these children as though they were their own,” Jones said. “There are so many children who won’t be able to have a Christmas, but thanks to the kindness and generos-ity of those within this amaz-ing community, these chil-dren will be able to have a Christmas.”

By Capt. ViCtoria portoAir Force Special Operations

Command Public Affairs

HURLBURT FIELD — Forty-two years after Bill Rone began his accounting job at Eglin Air Force Base, he cel-ebrated his retirement at Hurlburt Field on Nov. 21, as a member of the Senior Executive Service and Air Force Special Opera-tions Command’s direc-tor of financial manage-ment and comptroller.

The former University of West Florida cooperative education student said when he applied for that job years ago, he never imagined it would take him so far in a career as an Air Force civilian.

“I was working my way through college when I saw the advertisement for the Armament

Development and Test Center on the placement office bulletin board,” Rone said. “It’s just that simple. I had to eat.”

Rone’s dedicated work ethic and talent for all things budget

and finance helped him move quickly through the ranks.

At 28, he was promoted to director of programs and budget, in charge of a $2 billion budget. And in 1983, he graduated from the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, where

he said his classmates referred to him as the “class baby.” The six years he was budget direc-tor, Eglin’s comptroller office was selected Air Force Systems Command’s Comptroller Organi-zation of the Year each year.

He went on to become the deputy comptroller at Warner Robins Air Logistics Center,

Ga., and later the comptroller, programmer and chief informa-tion officer at the Naval Aviation Depot in Pensacola, before being hand-picked for his dream job working with the newly created AFSOC headquarters in 1990.

“If you’re a financial manager, why would you want to be any-thing other than a comptroller for special ops?” he asked, smil-ing. “When I got here, I was the happiest person to ever come through the gates. I just com-mitted to be the best teammate and do the most I could for the command.”

That commitment and posi-tive attitude continued to shape not only his personal develop-ment and career, but the culture of the AFSOC financial manage-ment office and the development of those who worked with him.

“He always challenged us to do our best, to do more and try

to be a better person every day,” said Annette Beard, AFSOC dep-uty director of financial manage-ment, who started working with Rone in 1991.

Under his mentorship, 65 per-cent of his team have completed their master’s degrees, 70 per-cent have completed profession-al military education, 74 percent have earned professional certifi-cations, and six have gone on to become major command-level comptrollers or deputy comp-trollers themselves.

But the Bonifay native does not take credit for their success-es, or the success of his organi-zation, which has won the U.S. Special Operations Command Outstanding Financial Manage-ment Organization Award every year for the last decade.

“Everybody feels like they’re part of the team, and we’re a very successful team,” he said. “But is

it me? No, it’s the team.”In Rone’s 23 years with AF-

SOC, he executed $20 billion in support of the mission, the Air Commandos and their families.

“If there’s one person who’s touched the lives of every Air Commando — past, present and future — it’s Bill,” said Lt. Gen. Eric Fiel, AFSOC commander. “We will miss his compassion for our people, and how he al-ways set them up for continued success.”

Rone said he’s looking for-ward to spending more time with his family, working out more and maybe even learning golf.

But first, true to his legacy as an amazing mentor, he offered parting advice for future success and leadership.

“You have to commit yourself emotionally, intellectually and physically,” he said. “And work like a dog.”

Our VIEW

Recently, I attended the ribbon cutting sponsored by the Holmes Chamber of Commerce

of a new business. Whatchamacallits and Dohickeys opened its doors to the public last week. Located east on Brock Ave. at State Road 79 in the former workshop of Joey Ross, the business

offers a variety of stuff, antiques, collectables, gifts, furniture, clothing both upscale used and some handmade.

Sandra Krouse came to Bonifay from Virginia Beach, Va., where she has lived for most or her adult life, but she grew up in Chipley, where she graduated high school in 1979. She worked in real estate and had operated a shop in Virginia for a time, but she also had a stall in an antique mall. Family changes caused her to move closer home. Her sister, Kathy York and a brother, David Krouse live in Bonifay. Sharing her home also are Gizmo, her dog, and a kitten she rescued since coming here.

She is excited about being here and looks forward to getting to know more people and getting her business up and running. Though land values are lower here, she fi nds living expenses such as groceries and gasoline higher than where she came from. We wish her the best and trust that her excellent location will bring lots of customers her way.

Small Town Pride is another small business that has opened along State. Road 79. Located just south of the U.S. 90 traffi c light in the Fish building, Tangie Hathaway has opened her shop of used furniture, antique and collectables. She also has a line of used clothing, shoes, purses, plus dishes, etc. (very similar to Whatchamacallits.) She said purses and shoes have been her best sellers along with dining room furniture. She avoids buying items from individuals but attends auctions and closeout sales.

Estelle Hewett Scott, Washington County native, passed away in Panama City on Nov. 20 after a relatively short illness. Estelle was

my neighbor and friend all through our early years and my classmate in the Vernon High School Graduating Class of 1944. She was born March 19, 1927, to Claude Hewett and Verdie Haddan Hewett, and Perry Wells was born Aug.

24, 1927 to Hugh Wells and Marie Harris Wells, thus Estelle has always been in my life.

She attended Union Hill School in her elementary years, where she completed the seventh grade before entering Vernon High School in the eighth grade in 1939. My fi rst seven years of schooling was at Brackin School. I, too, enrolled in Vernon High School, along with Estelle, in the eighth grade. We were both 12 years old at the time.

As we were accustomed to the small school atmosphere, we were “lost” in the larger school setting, possibly accounting for a “bonding” in addition to being life-long neighbors.

The Hewett Family lived on the east side of Cooks mill pond. Their home area was known as Hewett Hill, where the grandparents, Dave and Genia Leavins Hewett, lived at the crest of the hill where nine children were born and reared. That area is still heavily inhabited with succeeding generations of Hewetts.

My family lived on west side of Cook’s mill pond, also on a hillside. My grandparents, Tom and Hannah Brock Wells, reared their six children there. My parents, Hugh and Marie, reared eight children, and an uncle and aunt, Alex and Arleva, reared a total of 12 offspring.

In dry weather, one could walk

across Cook’s mill pond, and this was done frequently in the exchange of visits with the Hewetts.

One incident involving Claude and Verdie Hewett sticks vividly in my mind. In the late 1930s, our dad purchased a radio for his pick-up truck. That night, the Wells family drove over to the Hewett home to show off the new purchase. The usual call of “Y’all get out and come in come in” greeted us upon arrival. Daddy replied “No, y’all come out here.” He showed his new radio, the fi rst in our lives, and something we shared and enjoyed for years.

A story told by Estelle’s mother was that soon upon her marriage, she accidentally allowed her fi rst baking of biscuits to burn to a crisp on the wood burning stove. She admits slipping the burnt items into the back yard where they were buried. She returned to the kitchen,

started anew on the biscuit and had them just right when her husband came to the house for breakfast after doing the chores at the barnyard.

I recall her delicious biscuit when our family would be enjoying a meal with the Hewetts. To accompany the biscuit, a big mouth gallon jug of freshly canned blackberries would be opened, poured into a large bowl, sprinkled liberally with sugar and served with the piping hot biscuits. This combination made a quickly prepared and delectable blackberry cobbler.

On Dec. 8, 1941 Estelle and I sat in the full assembly of Vernon High School students after we had been called together by principal, Mr. R. E. Upon Sr. This was the day following the Dec. 7 attack on our U. S. Navy Ships harbored at Pearl Harbor. A radio, borrowed by Mr. Upon, delivered the speech, at full volume, of President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressing the full congress requesting that war be declared against the Japanese Empire. This marked the beginning of World War II. Estelle and I were 14 years old and in the 10th grade.

The male members of our class, plus other young males in the higher grades, began to enter the U. S. Military Service in great numbers. By graduation day, April 20, 1944, our class had been reduced from 39 to 29, with only six boys in that number. I was elected President of the Class, and Estelle was named

Illegally possessing or selling as few as seven pills of hydrocodone is enough to land someone a three-year mandatory minimum sentence in Florida.

Among all the harsh and wasteful drug laws in this state, laws involving prescription painkillers might be the most egregious. State law treats painkillers such as hydrocodone and oxycodone like heroin, determining sentences based on weight.

The law was meant to lock away dealers hauling truckloads of illegal drugs, but instead has fi lled prisons with nonviolent addicts. Thankfully, state Sen. Rob Bradley has introduced a bill that would create more reasonable sentences for low-level offenses involving prescription painkillers.

The current law helped cause the number of convictions for traffi cking in opioids to quadruple over a fi ve-year period to 1,200 in fi scal year 2010-11, according to the state Offi ce of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability.

Ninety-three percent of those cases involved prescription painkillers, the offi ce found from a sample study. More than half of individuals sentenced for hydrocodone offenses were arrested with fewer than 30 pills. One quarter were arrested for fewer than 15 pills.

These are hardly seasoned criminals.

Eighty-fi ve percent of the offenders had never been convicted of a violent offense, the analysis found. Nearly three quarters had never been in prison before.

The bill co-introduced by Bradley, a Fleming Island Republican whose district includes Alachua County, would remove prescription painkillers from the section of the law that includes punishment for dealing heroin and other opioids.

While the measure is still being tweaked, it would essentially increase the weight threshold required to trigger mandatory minimums for selling or possessing prescription painkillers. Judges would again have discretion in offenses involving small numbers of pills.

The change would result in the need for 595 fewer prison beds by fi scal year 2017-18 and save anywhere from $21 million to $61 million over fi ve years, according to a legislative analysis of a previous version that failed to pass last session.

Bradley deserves credit for helping to start tackle the thankless task of reforming the state’s senseless drug laws. While there is much more work to be done in eliminating mandatory minimums for low-level offenses, his measure is a reasonable fi rst step that should even attract the support of law enforcement offi cials.

Secretary/Treasurer. She was also honored as “Most Athletic” and “Class Historian.” Her sport was basketball, and Mr. Howard Bruner served as coach to both the boys and girls, in addition to his other teaching duties. Estelle had leading parts in our Junior and Senior Class Plays.

On April 20, 2000, at the giant, combined 10-year joint Vernon High School Class Reunion, a printed program was printed in order to pay for the gigantic event. Estelle came up with the old programs from our junior and senior plays, explaining that her mother had kept them stashed away through the years.

On Aug. 5, 1944, Estelle’s parents were blessed with twin sons named

Larry and Gary, who joined Estelle and Preston to complete the Claude and Verdie Hewett family. Larry, and wife, Denna, reside in Ocala. Gary and wife, Janice, live in the Hewett Hill community.

Estelle married Astor F. (Dick) Scott on Nov. 2, 1946. He had recently been discharged from his war time service in the U.S. Navy. The marriage came just after he had re-enlisted into the U. S. Air Force. She traveled with him in many of his ensuing travels while rearing the children, Douglas Scott and Kathryn Scott Samson. Dick retired from the Air Force in 1964. They enjoyed a host of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Estelle was described by

her children as one who “loved, attended and enjoyed every family reunion.” “She loved her family and friends unconditionally and did not care who you were, nor what you did, she looked at the positive side.”

The funeral service was held at Kent Forest Lawn Funeral Home on Dec. 5, with burial in Evergreen Cemetery. The Rev. J. E. Hodges presided. The Prattler was invited to deliver the eulogy as a representative of the Vernon High School Class of 1944.

Estelle becomes the 29th class member to be lost in death. All are greatly missed. Our love and condolences are extended to each family member.

See you all next week.

Letter to the EDITORCommissioner clarifi es quote

Dear Editor,In a Nov. 26, 2013,

article titled “County Commissioners vote to keep health care premiums the same,” I was quoted at the end of the article saying “I’ve had phone calls from a few employees asking about pay bonuses,” Commissioner Lynn

Gothard said. “Now, David, you can tell them they just got it.” The statement was recently referred to on social media as “tasteless, un-professional and un-called for.”

Taken as a stand alone statement I have to agree with the social media opinion. That statement was a result of my extreme frustration of dealing with an insurance provider

who at the last minute increased the county insurance premiums by $172,790. We had previously been informed there would be minimal or no increase for next year, and this increase was not built into our current budget.

It is disappointing to me that the increase effectively thwarted any chance that employees may see an end of the year

work incentive payment. Voting to pay the increase in insurance premiums for our employees was the right thing to do. I apologize for my choice of words. I have always and continue to appreciate and acknowledge the hard work of our county employees.

Lynn GothardCommissioner

CHIPLEY — Gulf Power Company is joining other utilities by sending a storm team of 74 employees to assist Oncor with restora-tion as a winter storm is expected to bring ice and wind to the region.

Oncor, the host util-ity, serves 10 million

customers in the North-east and west-central Texas areas and covers all expenses incurred by the supporting utilities. The crews will be restoring power in the Dallas area.

The storm team in-cludes 52 line personnel and 22 support personnel who will leave in convoys Thursday morning from

Pensacola, Crestview and Chipley.

“Our crews are experts in restoration and are often called upon to help in the wake of these devastating storms,” said Jeff Rogers, Gulf Power spokesperson. “They’re battle-tested and ready.”

The last time Gulf Power crews were called

on to help during a winter storm, they experienced very similar conditions.

“Our last winter storm trip was to the areas af-fected by Hurricane San-dy in the Northeast last year, so working in win-try conditions is fresh on our minds,” Rogers said. “This experience helps our crews keep their skills

sharp — it’s a great value for our customers and means faster restoration right here at home.”

Gulf Power Company is an investor-owned electric utility with all of its com-mon stock owned by Atlan-ta-based Southern Compa-ny. Gulf Power serves more than 430,000 customers in eight counties throughout

Northwest Florida. The company’s mission is to safely provide exceptional customer value by deliv-ering reliable, affordable and environmentally re-sponsible electricity while strengthening our com-munities. Visit online at GulfPower.com or on the company’s Facebook page, “Gulf Power Company.”

Special to Halifax Media Group

OPP, Ala. — Statistics show the surest way for anyone to land a job in his chosen field is to finish college and earn a degree or certificate, and that’s exactly what students at Lurleen B. Wallace Community College promised to do at the recent “Commit to Complete” event.

Bridgett Landers of Westville, a nursing student at LBWCC in Opp, Ala., was among the students who learned how the United States has fallen from first to 16th among the 34 industrialized economies in the world when measuring the percentage of citizens having earned a college credential or degree and the effects that has on national security and democracy in general. They also learned that within five years, 65 percent of all new jobs will require a postsecondary credential.

Those are only two of the reasons students gathered to sign a mass pledge to complete their associate degrees or certificates before leaving community college for transfer or to enter the job market, part of a national movement sponsored by Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society.

At the recent event, hosted by the Alpha Beta

Eta chapter of PTK, administrators, faculty and staff also signed the pledge, committing themselves to do whatever they can to facilitate completion of student credentials.

“It is vitally important to your future to complete a college credential,” LBWCC President Dr. Herb Riedel told the group. “Even if you plan to transfer, complete your associate’s degree first. Then, in case you are faced with a sudden, unexpected need to enter the workforce, you will have a better chance to find employment than those without a credential.”

PTK members are serving as the student arm of the Community College Completion Challenge, a national education initiative. Three years ago, leaders of six national organizations representing the nation’s 1,200 community colleges signed The Call to Action, a pledge to increase student completion rates by 50 percent over the next decade. PTK was the only student organization asked to participate and launched the Community College Completion Corps in response. Learn more at www.cccompletioncorps.org .

At the 2010 White House

Summit for Community Colleges, President Barack Obama called for community colleges to produce an additional 5 million degrees and certificates in the next 10 years, part of a goal to restore the United States as the world’s leader in college graduates.

Students who complete their degrees or certificates will earn an average of $500,000 more over the course of their careers than their peers who did not complete. In addition, individuals with credentials are less likely to become unemployed than their co-workers who did not earn credentials.

PANAMA citY — Gulf Coast Medical Center an-nounced on Monday its plans to change its name to Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center.

As part of the regional strategy, Gulf Coast Re-gional Medical Center has formed clinical affiliation partnerships with North-west Florida Community Hospital in Chipley, Doc-tors Memorial Hospital in Bonifay, and Jackson Hospital in Marianna. Through the affiliations, Gulf Coast Regional Medi-cal Center can partner with rural hospitals to provide state-of-the-art services to the residents that live in those wonder-ful communities.

Additionally, Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center has partnered with In-Touch Health, providing 24/7 telemedicine stroke care to patients across North Florida. This

program allows physicians to provide real-time au-dio/video consultations, at the patient’s bedside, with a moment’s notice from anywhere in the world. By receiving immediate ac-cess to a Board-Certified Neurologist, and prompt treatment, brain function can be saved.

In October, the hospi-tal unveiled a new 42-bed critical care wing that in-cludes a 20-bed adult-level Intensive Care Unit, an 18-bed NICU and a four-bed PICU. The ICU ca-pacity was increased by eight beds and it contains all of the latest equipment needed for the delivery of evidence-based care, while focusing on the pa-tient and providing a fam-ily-centered approach to care. The NICU expanded from a 10-bed Level II unit with the capacity to provide Level III care in January 2014.

ORLANDO — Blount-stown’s winning formula was neutralized by Trenton on Friday.

It was Trenton that was more dominant on defense and it defeated Blountstown 14-0 for the Class 1A state football championship at the Citrus Bowl.

Top-ranked Blountstown was shut out for the fi rst time since Aug. 31, 2012, in falling to 13-1. Trenton, ranked fourth, won its fi rst state title a year after fi nish-ing second and improved to 12-1 with its 11th consecu-tive victory.

Trenton reversed the trend exhibited in Blount-stown’s playoff run. Tren-ton’s defense kept Blount-stown in check with two ear-ly sacks and it controlled the second half. Blountstown couldn’t maintain its dose of tough, grinding offense coupled with a punishing defense in its fi rst state fi nal appearance since 2004.

Blountstown’s defense remained diffi cult to pen-etrate, but its offense was ineffi cient. It gained only 142 yards on 54 plays and nearly had as many penalty yards (136) with 14 fl ags. Blount-stown also had been win-ning the turnover battle in recent weeks, but had three on Friday, the same number as Trenton.

Blountstown couldn’t gain any traction in the fi rst half against a quick and athletic Trenton defense. Blountstown was forced into punts on its fi rst fi ve posses-sions and didn’t record its initial fi rst down until six minutes before halftime on a 25-yard pass completion between Dylan Lee and Hunter Jordan.

The fi rst down came on Blountstown’s seventh pos-session and second-longest drive of the game, six plays for 30 yards. It also ended in a punt. Jordan unleashed a 62-yarder to pin Trenton at its 3-yard line. Blountstown lost a fumble by Fabian Solomon to end its sixth possession.

Trenton punted on its fi nal two possessions and also had three turnovers in the fi rst half. Hamp Cheev-ers lost the ball inside the Blountstown 10 on his sec-ond and fi nal reception of the game. Cheevers had 102 of Trenton’s 114 total yards in the fi rst 24 minutes. Tren-ton had four fi rst-half punts to go along with its three fumbles.

Cheevers opened the scoring with a 54-yard touchdown catch from Ste-phen Smith late in the fi rst quarter on third-and-14. It was the fi rst points yielded by Blountstown in the open-ing quarter this season. Trenton had only 1 yard on nine other plays from scrim-mage in the quarter.

Blountstown’s best chance for an answer in the fi rst half started at the Trenton 38 following a punt. Blountstown moved to the 31 for fourth-and-2, but Shon Peterson was stopped for a 7-yard loss on his fi rst carry of the game.

Trenton capped the scor-ing when Micheal Smith returned an interception of Jordan 35 yards for a touch-down with 6:27 to play in the third quarter. Micheal Smith grabbed one of three com-pleted passes by Stephen Smith. Cheevers added a long rush and fi nished with 124 total yards.

Trenton was held to 199 yards and six fi rst downs. It also was penalized eight times for 104 yards. Lee and Jordan combined to com-plete 4 of 11 passes for 63 yards and two interceptions.

Blountstown leading rusher Alex Mayorga was limited to 18 yards on 11 car-ries. Ja’Vakiel Brigham led Blountstown with 30 yards on nine carries. Brigham also paced the defense with eight tackles, seven solo, while Dewayne Laramore had seven stops and Corin Peterson fi ve.

Melvin Adams gained a game-high 38 yards on the ground and Jacquez Powell added 31 for Trenton. Ste-phen Smith passed for 110

yards on three completions.

Special to ExtraThe Rev. Randy Tor-

rance became the new pastor at the First Baptist Church of Esto this month, replacing founding Pastor Ryan Begue, who left ear-lier this year.

Torrance wants to help the church, “Gain a vision of what we can accomplish and be a blessing to the community” and be “spiri-tually healthy and strong.” “We want to help people connect with God and find His presence and love in their lives any way that we can.” Torrance said.

Although the goal is not necessarily to make the church grow, he said he hopes that growth will be a natural outcome of the church’s spiritual development.

He and his wife, Lo-anna are excited to make the Esto community a new chapter of their lives together.

Since being married, they have lived in Mel-bourne, Umatilla, St. Pe-tersburg, and most recent-ly Live Oak, Fla.

He mentioned that he has some important goals planned for the First Bap-tist Church.

At the forefront is glori-fying God in everything the church does.

Secondly, he said he wants to maintain a church that meets the needs of its community.

“Too many times, churches separate them-selves from what goes on

in their community and lose their relevance within that community.” Torrance stated.

He wants to have a church that is meeting needs and reaching peo-ple, and one that loves and cares for one another, too.

“I want First Baptist Church to be more than just a church that you come to weekly and go to potluck dinners once in a while and show up for Bible study and then leave,” he said. “I want it to be a living, breathing community, part of the Esto community that God placed it in.”

Pastor Torrance is cur-rently leading the congrega-tion of First Baptist in a se-ries of establishing a Right

Christmas for the current month of December.

He said that Christmas is not about Trees and Tin-sel, Gifts and Garland, or Music and Mistletoe.

While these things are important to the traditions of the season, he wishes to remind the community that Jesus is the reason for the season.

First Baptist Esto is lo-cated at 1050 North High-way 79 in Esto.

Their times of services are; Sunday School/Bible Study at 9:30 a.m., Morning Worship at 10:30 a.m., Eve-ning Worship at 6:30 p.m. and Wednesday Evening Worship at 6:30 p.m.

The public is invited to attend.

I enjoy being cheerful and Christmas time is a special time to be cheerful and I try my best to live up to it. Occasionally, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage will suggest I am going a little too far.

During the rest of the year I stay out of shopping malls as much as possible.

During the Christmas season, I want to go to the shopping mall and walk around without any purchases to make.

I like watching people spend their money on things they do not need and for people they may not like. I like to give cheer more than anything else.

Actually, it is the only thing I can afford. And so I will send my cheerfulness into cheer bankruptcy. Whatever that may be.

The Christmas season has never been a time for me to spend excessive amounts of money. I leave all that to my wife. She knows how to shop and she begins her Christmas shopping right around February. I could never fi gure that out. When I buy a gift for someone, I want to hand it to them right then.

She has the discipline to buy Christmas gifts months ahead of time.

Something happened this past week that brought all of my cheerfulness to an abrupt halt.

I had just come from the mall where I was making

fun of people scurrying around trying to fi nd the latest bargain. It is a little strange to me that when people get a gift for somebody they look for a bargain.

When I got home, I sat down in my recliner

reminiscing about the day and then I did something I do not normally do.

I took out my wallet to clean it. This is something I do at least once a year.

Sometimes I get cards in my wallet that have expired or

are no longer valid. No sense in having

things in your wallet that you do not need or cannot use. Several cards had expired and so into the trash can they went.

You can tell a lot about a person by the things in his wallet. My wife, on the other hand, carries a purse.

I will not be caught dead looking in that purse. In fact, I would be dead if caught looking. I am not sure what she has in her purse and I do not want to know what she has in there. I love living.

A man’s wallet is a little different. He has things in there that are rather practical. There will be a driver’s license, a Social Security card, insurance card, not to mention credit cards.

Everything he needs to get through a week with plenty of cheerfulness on the side.

Going through my wallet this time I found something that shocked me to the core of my being.

There in my wallet, folded up rather neatly and tucked in a corner, was a $50 bill. I cannot tell you the last time I saw a $50 bill. How it got there, I will never know.

My father always had a folded $50 bill in his wallet for emergencies. I am not my father. Ordinarily, you would think fi nding $50 in your wallet would be a moment of rejoicing. Not so here.

It is towards the end of the year, all gifts are purchased for Christmas and all bills are paid. I like to pay ahead of time just to make sure the bills are being paid.

And so there was nothing that needed to be paid at that time.

Life has taught me several lessons and one in particular. If you fi nd extra money it means some disaster is about to befall.

Usually the catastrophe that happens costs more than the money you fi nd. I found $50 and so it is reasonable to believe that the catastrophe facing me will cost $100.

I did not know if I should mention this to my wife. It is not that we are superstitious, we have just live life long enough to know what comes around goes around and what goes up usually comes down.

What is going to happen now? What is going to go wrong? What in the house is going to fall apart? Then

my dilemma was solved. My wife came into the room and said, “I was wondering,” and she was stammering a little bit as she said it. “I was wondering if perhaps we could take the grandchildren out for Christmas lunch tomorrow. I know it costs a lot, but I think they would enjoy it.” I smiled and she looked at me a little quizzically and asked, “What are you smiling about?”

It was then I pulled out of my wallet the neatly folded $50 bill and waved it in her direction and said, “I think Christmas lunch with the grandchildren tomorrow would be a fantastic idea.”

Some people worry about what they do not have. I worry about what I have to make sure I am using it in the best possible manner. “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High” (Psalms 92:1).

I am thankful for what I have but I am also thankful for what I do not have. Nothing takes the place of a contented heart and my contentment rests in the Lord Jesus Christ. I need nothing more.
