The 14th Circuit Guardian ad Litem Program is in search of dependable adults interested in a unique way to contribute to our community. If you are concerned for the well being of children and have a continuing commitment to advocate for a child

until a safe and permanent home is obtained, you will be an effective Guardian ad Litem volunteer. Training is scheduled to begin Aug. 12 in the Chipley office.

Please call 747-5180 for more information and an application.

Short Course North through IFAS/University of Florida and we are so pleased that FFGC President Sue Angle joined us as we provided twelve hours of what we call “edu-tainment” to our participants,” District I Director Tina Tuttle said.

Topics of study for the two-day event included Un-derstanding and Living with Snakes, Exotic and Inva-sive Plants: Guests from H-E-Double Hockey Sticks, Growing Wildflowers from Seed, Endangered Plants of Florida, Scrub Habitat, Treasures of Blackwater State Forest, Saving the Red-Cockaded Woodpecker, Garden-ing in Sandy Soils, and Coastal Issues of Pensacola Bay Watershed. Thursday’s session ended with a demonstra-tion of Floral Designs Using Native Plants and Friday’s session was wound up with a little Boondoggling — the art of weaving palmetto and other dry natural materials.

Chipley Garden Club First VP/Master Gardener Glenda Wilson remarked after the event, “We gained so much by attending this training – it was educational, en-lightening, and very entertaining. We are already looking forward to next year’s event.”

creators of “The Blair Witch Project,” “VHS 2” and the series “Freaky-links.” The production com-pany is headquartered in Orlando. The company was founded by five graduates of the University of Central Florida Film Program. The 1999 film “The Blair Witch Project” is what they are most famous for, but they also produced the 2006 film “Altered.”

The studios are in the very early stages of plan-ning and currently are looking to gauge interest from the city, according to the letter from Brian Cain.

“They are just asking if we would be interested in something like this,” May-or Cain said. “They’re not looking for anything from the city, it wouldn’t cost us anything.”

The production might

need help closing some streets, or having a fire truck stand by in the case of pyrotechnics.

The letter states that the idea is in its very early stages. “A lot can change and nothing is guaranteed but showing your interest would help in our decision making process.”

“As a boy I grew up in Chipley and I’d love to make something like this

happen there,” Brian Cain said in the letter.

The council members agreed that the filming could be a good thing for Chipley.

“When I was at Chipola, we had a company come and do something like it,” Councilman Kevin Russell said. “We all got some expe-rience with the production, which was just outside of Marianna. It was a blast.”

“We are long-time neighbors and partners in this community, and as our community and customers evolve, we want to evolve with them,” said Dennis and Linda Lareau, own-ers of the restaurant.

“This remodel project provides our customers with a unique dining experience that welcomes them and their families into a new and comfort-able atmosphere.”

During the re-build displaced crew members from the Chipley res-taurant continued to work for owner/operators Dennis and Linda Lareau at another location in Washington county until the new restaurant’s

opening. The building’s exterior is a natural

progression, departing from the stan-dard double mansard roof building, which has been a McDonald’s trade-mark since 1968, according to a news release from the company.

The new McDonald’s will not be what Chipley guests remember. The building’s new “Arcade” design is reflective of McDonald’s newest res-taurant design themes. The restau-rant will seat customers in a variety of “zones” ranging from quick bar-type high seating to unique bench seating.

The décor is fresh and vibrant,

accented with a natural colored floor along with contemporary wall coverings.

The customer experience is fur-ther enhanced through a flat screen TV and complimentary Wi-Fi, accord-ing to the release.

For customers in a hurry, the res-taurant now features a side-by-side drive-thru that will make dining even more convenient and efficient, and both the lobby and drive thru are open 24 hours, the release states.

This soft grand opening will be fol-lowed up with a “grander” commu-nity event in September with special guest Ronald McDonald.

the requirements for diplo-mas which are designated as “merit” and “scholar,” Riley said, and the change is based on graduation re-quirements, including the End of Course exam scores for some subjects being changed from a must pass to counting as 30 percent of the student’s grade.

The diploma changes were mandated by the Flor-ida Legislature, as were most of the changes to the student policies presented to the board.

The requirements for earning a standard diploma in Florida have changed due to new legislation. Students still have to pass an end-of-course exam in algebra and a standardized test in lan-guage arts, but they would no longer have to pass end-of-course exams in geom-etry and biology.

Instead, those exams would count for 30 percent of a student’s final grade in that subject.

A passing score on the bi-ology exam would be neces-

sary only for students wish-ing to add the new “scholar” designation to their diploma. Those students would also have to pass the algebra II exam, earn two credits in a foreign language and enroll in at least one college-level class, among other more rigorous requirements.

Students can also strive to add a “merit” designation to their diploma by earning industry certification in a field such as automotive technology.

“A lot of this is deter-mined when the students are seniors, then they can look back and see what they are qualified for,” Riley said.

Superintendent Joseph Taylor told the board mem-bers they would be heading to Tallahassee Thursday morning to present the plans for the new Kate M. Smith Elementary School construction to the De-partment of Education in hopes of getting the project funded. The district will be one of five proposals the

DOE hears Thursday, and the projects will likely be ranked that day.

The ranking determines funding priorities for the projects. The new elemen-tary school is expected to cost $20 million and will likely be funded on a two- or three-year cycle.

The board also consid-ered a Leave of Absence request from teacher Kim Daniels, who requested the 2013-14 school year off.

Administrative Services Director Pat Collins ex-plained to the board that the request had been submit-ted after July 1, which is the deadline for leave requests as published on the request forms.

“Part of the reason for the July 1 deadline is we had teachers applying for leaves at the last minute and we would find ourselves scram-bling to cover classes,” Col-lins said.

Taylor told the board he did not recommend the leave, so the board took no action on the request.

The Chipley City Council is to be commended for their proactive work toward extending city water lines south of Interstate 10.

The process back in February when Mayor Linda Cain invited Consultant Doug Bruce to explain to the council what the city could do to seek grants to fund the expansion of the utilities beyond the I-10 boundary.

Getting utilities south of the interstate would open up properties for new businesses such as restaurants and hotels and could generate much needed tax revenue for the city and county.

The city selected the Tallahassee fi rm of Doug Bruce & Associates to serve as consultants in the process.

On Thursday, Angela Drzewiecki, representing Doug Bruce & Associates, presented a grant proposal to the council.

The council was set to approve a resolution on Tuesday authorizing the consultants to seek a Water Supply Development Community Assistance Initiative Grant from the Northwest Florida Water Management District.

This resolution is just one small step, but it is a step forward toward progress, so congratulations to Mayor Cain and the rest of the council for looking to the future for not only Chipley, but Washington County as well.

Progress at DozierKudos to Gov. Rick Scott

and his Cabinet for clearing the path for researchers

from the University of South Florida to exhume bodies at the former Dozier School for Boys in Marianna.

Former inmates at the school have alleged abuse, rape, torture and even murder of children by adult staff members in the 1950s and ’60s.

USF researchers have identifi ed 50 graves in the school’s unmarked burial grounds, which are 19 more than the state found in a brief investigation that concluded in 2008.

Researchers, as well as the families of the dead children, want to exhume the bodies so they can be examined and identifi ed.

In May a judge denied a request from Attorney General Pam Bondi to exhume the remains.

In response, USF applied to the Florida Department of State for an archaeological permit to dig up the burial sites.

However, Secretary of State Ken Detzner turned it down, saying his department doesn’t have the legal authority.

That was a fl imsy, bureaucratic dodge.

On Aug. 6, the governor and his Cabinet members — Bondi, Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam and Chief Financial Offi cer Jeff Atwater — unanimously approved a land agreement that will allow the USF research to proceed.

We applaud the move, especially Bondi’s persistence in pursuing this.

The families deserve answers as to what happened to their loved ones.

As assignment editor, I get frequent requests from authors to write about books they published themselves. Being a bit of a book snob, I almost always say no.

Last week, though, I said yes after getting a book from a local woman in her 80s who wrote about growing up on a farm in Holmes County.

Ironically, she doesn’t want her name used and doesn’t want the publicity, which begs the question of why she brought me the book. I can’t answer that, but I can tell you I wouldn’t have survived her upbringing and neither would my children.

The fi fth of 10 children, the author says she was raised in a house with no screens, running water or outhouse. The only furniture they had was two beds, a table, chairs and a rocking chair with one leg shorter than the other.

When one of the kids

misbehaved, her mother whipped all of them with a branch from a peach tree in the yard. That tree was missing so many “switches” it never produced more than a few tiny, ugly peaches.

Between the ages of about 5 and 10, the author was entrusted with the care of her fi ve younger brothers while her mother worked in the fi elds. She writes about holding a pillow over her baby brothers’ faces so she could try to get them to nap. Only a child herself, she didn’t realize that could have killed them.

Any shoes they wore didn’t fi t and they didn’t complain. They ate what they could grow or what was given to them in trade.

Their mother convinced them that eating chicken feet would make them better looking. Later, the author fi gured out her mother likely just wanted to save the better parts of the chicken for the pastor when he visited.

When she left home at 17, she’d never seen her refl ection in a

mirror, taking her mother’s word that she was pretty. She’d never been anywhere other than her home, church or school. She was afraid.

Still, she turned out OK, as did every one of her siblings, she writes. And that’s more than we can say for a lot of kids raised in more permissive times.

“One of my friends asked me if we had drug problems when I was growing up,” she wrote. “I replied, ‘I had a drug problem when I was growing up.

“I was drug to church two times on Sunday. I was drug to the cotton fi elds every day. I was drug behind the house when I disobeyed my parents …

“And all of those drugs are still in my veins. They affect my behavior and everything I do, say or think. God bless the parents who drug us.”

Guest COLUMN

Elderly author grew up with her own type of drug problem

The Prattler has continued “studying” the Sacred Harp Singing Convention Minute Book of October 1947, the topic of last week, and feels inclined to write more on the subject today.

Amazing is the word for the number of singers that have personal meaning to me as I carefully read, and re-read, the complete roster of Sacred Harp Singers who attended the historic session written about in last week’s column.

One such family is the W. T. (Theo) Miller, Sr. and wife, Delie Varnum Miller, who attended and took part in leading songs at the event

of almost 66 years ago. Their two children, W. T. Miller, Jr. and Lora Mae Miller, as young children, also led songs at that

gathering. This family has an interesting history recorded in the “Heritage of Washington County” book on page 281.

Dempsey Brock was named as leading “lessons” throughout the weekend and his wife, Annie Jeffries Brock, was listed among the persons who had died since the last session of the convention with a select number of singers leading a total of fourteen special songs in a memorial tribute to all the deceased as mentioned last week.

In the detailed history of this family written in the Heritage Book, listed above, one of their sons, Chester Wilkerson Brock, “married Juanita Drake, whom he met at a Sacred Harp Sing while working for L. & N. Railroad and living in Birmingham.”

Warren Miller, Vice President of the 1947 Convention, along with his wife, Thelma T. Tittle Miller, took an active part in leading songs at the session covered last week. This couple has one of the more unusual and

interesting writings in the 2006 Heritage Book. The story was captured by their granddaughter, Linda, the child of their daughter, Louise Miller Cook and husband, Archie L. Cook. Linda reports in the story that a few years prior to the death of her grandfather, she gave him a blank notebook, asking that he write information on his life and family. An excerpt from his complying with this request resulted in a heart-warming story. (See Page 282).

The writer personally knew A. A. Blocker for whom a Birthday Sing was listed under the heading of Annual Sings. The singing was held at his home in Greenhead. Later, a building was constructed in that community and was known as the A. A. Blocker Memorial Church. If I am correct that meeting house now is home to the Greenhead Methodist Church and has been for many years.

The Barfi eld Memorial Sing, held the second Sunday in April at the Wausau Methodist Church, was held in memory of the patriarch of the noted Barfi eld Family of that area who continue to promote and sing Sacred Harp Music. Two of the sons were Henry Barfi eld, who became an Assembly of God pastor, and John Barfi eld, who reared a family of sons and daughters who have faithfully followed and supported Sacred Harp Music, traveling great distances to do so. Ernestine Barfi eld Pipkin married E. E. Pipkin and

both enjoyed a lifetime of Sacred Harp Singing. Both are now deceased. One daughter married Bill Aplin and a second one married Tommy Scurlock and your writer talked with all of them on June 22 as they were in attendance at Live Oak Baptist Church near Miller’s Ferry when I had the privilege of attending a Sacred Harp Sing. Wausau native Doris Owens remains my stand-by source of information on Sacred Harp Sings and related history.

Neighboring Holmes County is deeply steeped in Sacred Harp Singing History. The 2006 “Heritage of Holmes County” book carried two articles on the subject, both on pages 50 and 52.

Under the heading of Galloway Memorial Sacred Harp Sing, the writer gives much academic history of the music: “Sacred Harp singing, a folk hymn form, dates back to Colonial times in New England America and even earlier in England. In earlier times, the sings were a reason for folks to get together to share great entertainment and fellowship.” The writing continues: “Typically the sings were scheduled to fall on a specifi c weekend every year. Southern region events were devoted entirely to a capella singing with absolutely no musical instruments present, not even a pitch harp was allowed!” This article was submitted by Mary “Prissy” Galloway Platt and listed many sources of information in a lengthy bibliography.

A second article in the Holmes County Book, submitted by Betty Marsico, gives some history on the origin of the Song Books used in Sacred Harp Sings.

In the Holmes County area of Bethlehem, the historic Union Hill Baptist Church established a Sacred Harp Singing House on its grounds many years ago. In recent years it was my privilege to attend a session of singing at that landmark location. I feel sure that I heard my very favorite two Sacred Harp Songs at this gathering. “Murillo’s Lesson” has some powerful words that I may not fully understand the signifi cance of but the lyrics to my second selection “Going Home,” brings on cold chills. The fi rst verse is: “Now to the power of God supreme, Be ever lasting honor given; He saves from hell (we bless his name) He calls our wandering feet to heaven And I don’t care to stay here long! Right up yonder, Christian, away up yonder, O, yes, my Lord, for I don’t care to stay here long.” These are all powerful and profound words.

It is always interesting to meet and learn just how many of the group came from long distances to sing the same old songs that have thrilled the hearts of fans for numbers of years that are still astounding and hard to comprehend.

I have enjoyed compiling this article just as I delighted in the immediate two of the past. See you next week — hopefully with a totally different subject matter.

Singing’s minutes bring back many memories

Mr. Ben Smith sent me word that some errors occurred in my previous story, and knowing that he had recently celebrated his 88th birthday, Jack and I paid him a visit. I often make errors in my stories and don’t usually try to correct them and I won’t in this case, because most of the material came from Barbara the daughter of Brown Miller, in the Heritage of Holmes County book. However, Mr. Smith and Miller’s son Julian Miller did agree that the story of water in the gas tank was just a story and did not happen.

I searched the E.W. Carswell book “Holmsteading” to find the date of the formation of the N.SD Miller Wholesale Distribution Co. but was unsuccessful in finding a date. There was an N.D. Miller store listed in the early 1920’s and in Jan 1923, N.D. Miller was listed as owning stock in the newly formed Farmers and Merchants Bank which bought the assets of the failed Holmes County Bank. Other than the wholesale distribution company, Mr. N. D. Miller is also remembered for managing the Eureka Hotel which was built by Mr. G.W. Banfil, but was operated by Mr. and Mrs. Miller from 1910 for

many years. Mr. Ben Smith worked

for the N.D. Miller Company full time from 1942 through

1956, but worked part time as a youth. Over the years, many people worked for the Miller Company. Tom Jenkins told me he worked for them. But in addition to the ones mentioned last week, Mr. Smith

recalled J.W. Leavins, Cecil Yates, and Elbert Harrell. The company serviced independent grocers from the Chattahoochee River to Pensacola. Some additional Bonifay stores he remembered were the Suwanee Store, with Roy Dowling as the proprietor and later Mr. J.M. Browning. The only restaurant he remembered was operated by a Greek named Steve Koutric. Mrs.Videll Mcfatter’s was a general store with dry goods as well as groceries.

In Leonia there was Heath Mercantile operated by Hiram Spears. Dady Post Office was there. He told how during the war (WWII) candy was scarce and whatever the wholesaler got in was apportioned between all the stores they serviced. He remembered how Mr.Spears’ daughters swarmed his truck looking for the sweet treats when he serviced them.

The local rolling stores filled their traveling stores with N.D. Miller merchandise. On the back of their store they carried chicken coops. They would take chickens and eggs in trade for goods. Then, they would trade those items back to the company in payment for their bill. According to Ben Smith, one driver falsified his weight tickets to the degree that Mr. Brown Miller sued him for his debt and was awarded a 40 acre field. Because Irish potatoes were so much a part of their business, Brown Miller who had bought the company, planted the entire 40 acres in potatoes.

Brown Miller had lived previously in Miami and made contacts there to sell the chickens and the eggs. When the rolling stores had collected enough to load a truck, Wallace Donaldson would deliver them via truck to Miami.

Brown Miller also contracted with the military for delivery of rations for soldiers. Mr. Smith would pick them up from the canning plants. He said from the number of Van Camp Pork and Beans he hauled, he surmised that the army only fed beans and crackers. He said he delivered tons of soda crackers (that’s what we called saltines then) and it took 14,000 pounds of Klotz Crackers to fill a 40 foot

trailer. He hauled 2 tons of

Henderson brand sugar a week from Louisiana. I asked if a lot of that went to bootleggers and he affirmed that it did. I also asked if he knew local people that the company bought syrup from. He said the Cope family in Chipley furnished a lot and Silas Lee, Quincy’s dad, furnished some. I have a feeling that my granddaddy, Tom Wells, did too. I found these syrup labels among the Tison memorabilia but I would guess that it was some of Jack’s Grandma Meeker’s family, the Youngs, who made the syrup.

Mr. Smith said that the whole N.D. Miller operation shut down for the week of July 4th and all employees and their families were invited to a big picnic on the 4th at Jenkins Fish Camp at Seven Runs on the Choctowhatchee River where they could swim, fish, and have a good time.

Ben Smith still lives near where he, his six brothers and one sister grew up. They attended Fairview School located on what is now Malcolm Taylor Road. He remembers Mr. Drane Kates as his earliest teacher. Daughter Sarah lives nearby. Son Larry who works at Jerkins also lives nearby. Son Ray drives a truck that hauls all of Willie Nelson’s equipment and

a kind of rolling gift shop. Ben sang southern gospel with Quincy Carnley, Devon Andrews, and Henry Ray Kent or Roy Yates with

Marion Moss as pianist. He loves visitors and recalling old times. We enjoyed our visit with this man who loves to tell “how to be a redneck.”

Visit with Mr. Smith adds to N.D. Miller Company story

There’s one thing I cannot understand about the marketing of our area. You would think we only had the beaches to attract people. I think the people in the marketing business should be made to understand we also have some of the best redfish fishing in Florida.

Most of the time when you turn on outdoors shows you see the Banana River or

the Cape Canaveral area and the redfish fishing in those places. Do you know how much time and gas mileage you can save by stopping in Panama

City? Nowhere in those

areas will you find redfish crashing crabs on the surface in 50 feet of water during a hard outgoing tide. If you love to fly fish, the pass here is the place to test out that 10-weight fly rod.

When the pass crabs get sucked out into the Gulf and mixed with the bay grass, and those big honkers are busting the surface looking like big blocks of concrete being thrown into the water you know you are in fly rod heaven.

Not only can you catch them on a fly rod, but live bait fishermen consistently catch bull reds on lightweight spinning reels. After battling two or three 15- to 30-pound reds a fellow soon earns some respect for fish that size.

We also have some of the finest guides you could find in the state. All this adds up to some pretty good fishing.

Some wives are reluctant to get on a boat that stays out 6-8 hours, so the hubby goes fishing and the wife stays at the hotel and misses out on some fine fun. That can be fixed by fishing with a guide on a custom-made trip of your design. Most guides are willing to take you fishing, but some I know will take your family over to Shell Island for a day in the sun or for a picnic if you provide the food. No one is getting seasick or ready to come home on this trip because it is designed by you.

So tell me why anyone would want to travel another mile south when we have it all right here in the Panama City area?

The silver kings average 80 to 90 pounds, but fi sh of 150 pounds are no longer uncommon thanks to all-release regulations.

By FRANK [email protected]

When saltwater turns fresh and clear water turns coffee black, it requires a bit of a mental adjustment to achieve continued angling success for the favorite inshore species such as spotted seatrout, redfi sh and fl ounder. It also is likely to require an adjustment in geography; your favorite marsh holes and creeks might have few or no fi sh, and you might have to head to outside waters to connect.

Not to say that coastal fi sh can’t thrive in brackish water — in winter, not only trout and reds but also mangrove snapper, black drum and sheepshead often prowl into areas that are almost completely fresh. But that’s forced upon them as a refuge from cold water on the fl ats; all things being equal, they like a relatively high salinity, along with a lot of baitfi sh and shrimp along with moderate temperatures.

So where do the fi sh go when they depart from our favorite dock holes, creek mouths and bridge pilings? A lot of them head out on the beach, settling on any structure they can fi nd within easy swim of bait schools.

That’s why it’s not uncommon to connect with schools of trout, often big ones, around nearshore artifi cial reefs and wrecks. And of course reds, when they mature, actually are open-water fi sh, only returning to the passes and bays in late summer and fall to spawn.

So they are highly tolerant of the higher salinities of the open Gulf.

Tarpon are one species that are not particularly unhappy in black, low-salinity water. They start their lives in places like this, often far back in the marshes, moving to deeper water only as they mature. And after they fi nish the mid-summer spawn, many of them return to the black waters of inside bays where they will remain until the fi rst chill of October.

The key to fi nding black water tarpon — and other species for that matter — is fi nding bait tolerant of the water conditions. Shad don’t mind a bit of black water, and the tiny bay anchovies known as “glass minnows” don’t either — they swim well up coastal rivers. Find swarms of these baitfi sh and you’ll

usually fi nd gamefi sh of some stripe. (You wouldn’t think a 100-pound-tarpon would have much interest in bait an inch long, but they plunge through the tightly-packed minnows like whales eating krill, gulping down huge mouthfuls of them.)

Fishing black water areas can be a challenge, to be sure; the fi sh can’t see artifi cial lures more than a few feet away, and when they’re feeding on specialized bait such as the tiny glass minnows, they might ignore the usual lures.

There are several strategies to get around the issue, however. One is simply to go to cut bait on the bottom; the scent lures the fi sh in, even if they can’t see the bait at any distance. This is particularly effective for late summer tarpon — fi nd

Handling the murk of Florida’s torrentialsummer downpours

Tarpon are not much bothered by an infl ux of “black” water, and can be caught on an assortment of cut baits, live baits or artifi cials.

TAMPA BAY WATCH | Special to the News Herald

Florida’s bay scallop season is now underway and continues through Sept. 24. St. Joe Bay is one of the prime areas in Panhandle waters.

By FRANK [email protected]

That’s how some children think of Florida’s bay scallop season.

Though the scallop season has been open for some time and tens of thousands already have been harvested by eager divers, those remaining are the largest of the season — scallops grow fast.

The prime scalloping area in the Panhandle is St. Joe Bay, where clear water and lots of eel grass provide ideal habitat for the swimming shellfi sh. They also are abundant on the fl ats off Steinhatchee and Suwannee, as well as at Homosassa and Crystal River.

Scallops are an annual crop; they hatch, grow to maturity, spawn and die in a single year, so the annual take by recreational divers is thought to have minimal impact.

The tiny larvae develop into shellfi sh up to 3 inches across by July and August of each year, and thousands of Florida families turn out to pursue these strange little animals, the only shellfi sh that can “swim.”

Unlike most shellfi sh that affi x themselves to the bottom, bay scallops can swim by clapping their shells together.

Admittedly, it’s a slow, crazy dance, but they do manage to move from place to place, and with the help of the tides

sometimes can travel for miles.The shellfi sh are typically

found in water from 4 to 10 feet deep over turtle grass, the long-leaved greenery that sprouts abundantly from the bottom in the open areas.

Because they are lethargic swimmers, scallops are easy for a snorkeler to capture by hand, and they are a favorite target for young swimmers; many families plan their annual summer vacation with the children for the opening of the scallop season.

Once things get rolling, fi nding the scallops is simply a matter of looking for the fl eet — where the shellfi sh are abundant, there will be dozens of boats drifting over them.

It’s an underwater Easter egg hunt

PANAMA CITY — Debbie Funkhouser is a coach at heart, but she’s an athletic director by title.

Funkhouser is one of the most respected minds among local volleyball coaches, and she has been an important contributor to the growth of the sport in the area. Now that she’s the athletic director at North Bay Haven Charter Acade-my, however, she has reluc-tantly stepped away from the sport to focus on her duties overseeing all sports at the charter school.

“For two out of three years, I coached the middle school team,” Funkhouser said. “It’s hard to fi nd volley-ball coaches who really are knowledgeable and don’t just want a supplement. I couldn’t fi nd a coach — they play six or seven games and they’re done. I have to say it was hard because (other) teams or coaches need something. It didn’t work. I feel bad because we have a group of girls who are go-ing to be really strong, but they’ll be great. It’s really a good group of kids.”

The athletic program at NBH only now is matur-

ing beyond the pupal stage with its fi rst-ever incoming class of 12th-graders. Funk-houser left her post as vol-leyball coach at Mosley to accept the job as athletic director at NBH in 2010, and she faced a monumen-tal challenge of building the school’s athletics depart-ment from the ground up. Coaches had to be hired. Facilities had to be leased. A culture of athletics had to be nurtured and cultivated. It hasn’t been easy.

“In the beginning, every-one made the team, and we created a culture you don’t really want in competitive high school athletics,” Funk-houser said. “On the other hand, it made the teams very close. … We want the kids to play for fun. We’ve lost that in high school ath-letics. High school athletics

has become a stairway to college athletics and then the pros. We have forgotten the average kid who wants to come out to have fun.

“We have kids who never would have come out for sports. I was going around in the spring … say-ing, ‘Please play baseball. Please play softball.’ We scheduled games, and we didn’t want a negative feel-ing in the community that we scheduled games and then canceled them. If they didn’t play that sport, I’d say, ‘I don’t care. The coach will teach you how.’ The ones who hung in there, I have great admiration for them. The coaches have high ex-pectations, and (the kids) are working hard at some-thing they never thought

Special to Halifax Media

GAINESVILLE — In an aggressive move to protect teens from the threat of perfor-mance-enhancing drugs, the head of the Florida High School Athletic Association asked on Aug. 6 that the organization’s medical policy experts conduct a top-to-bottom review of existing policies to deter-mine what additional measures can be en-acted to prevent the use of improper sub-stances by high school student-athletes.

Dr. Roger Dearing, FHSAA’s executive director, asked the association’s Sports Medicine Advisory Committee to conduct a thorough review of existing standards to determine how they can be strengthened to stop the trend of PED use among pro-fessional and college athletes from spread-ing throughout prep sports. Dearing noted that under existing FHSAA sportsman-ship bylaws and policies, student-athletes can be suspended from competing if they have used PEDs, but he suggested these prohibitions might be insuffi cient in light of recent allegations that South Florida high school athletes received PEDs as part of the Biogenesis scandal.

“Here is the bottom line for me: As ex-ecutive director of FHSAA, I believe we must draw a line in the sand against per-forming-enhancing drugs. School districts simply cannot tolerate coaches who en-courage or look the other way when ath-letes use PEDs,” Dearing said. “There-fore, these coaches cannot be allowed to keep their jobs or have anything to do with young athletes. This is about more than safeguarding fair play — it’s about saving lives.”

Dearing was joined by state Sen. Bill Montford, D-Tallahassee, a former school principal and superintendent who now serves as chief executive offi cer of the Florida Association of District School Su-perintendents; and Jennifer Roth May-nard, an assistant professor of family and sports medicine with the Mayo Clinic in

Jacksonville and a member of the FHSAA Sports Medicine Advisory Committee.

“Performance-enhancing drugs pose a very real, very dangerous threat to high school student-athletes, both physically and psychologically,” Montford said. “I commend the FHSAA for being proactive in addressing the challenge presented by coaches, parents and young athletes who want to get ahead by any means possible, whatever the personal cost.”

The 15-member Sports Medicine Advi-sory Committee includes a cross-section of experts from across Florida, including physicians, trainers, former coaches and educators. The committee’s work has led to recent FHSAA policies to better protect young student athletes in the areas of con-cussions and heat/hydration.

Dearing asked the committee to con-sider the full range of issues related to PEDs, including but not limited to:

• whether existing policies and pro-cedures provide suffi cient authority for schools to test and discipline student-athletes who may be using banned substances;

• the legal, policy and fi scal implica-tions of heightened policies against per-formance-enhancing drugs; and

• whether the FHSAA prohibition against performance-enhancing drugs would be more effective if set out as a standalone policy rather than exist-ing only as a part of a broader policy on sportsmanship.

“Most young athletes have no idea the harm that can be caused by performance-enhancing drugs,” Maynard said. “Teen-agers are still developing, both physically and mentally, and PEDs have no place in their lives. Whatever the FHSAA can do to stop PEDs from being used by high school student-athletes is a step in the right direction.”

they’d really do.”Funkhouser said it was

important to find coaches who strived to win but would not be overly dis-mayed by the losses that were certain to accompany programs as they matured. A coach’s recognition of the importance of education was paramount.

“I feel like our adminis-tration and parents and kids are looking for athletics to come up and be as good as our academics are,” Funk-houser said. “When I was able to interview coaches with (Principal Meredith Higgins), we definitely looked for someone where wins weren’t No. 1. Win-ning has to be important to a coach, but we wanted someone who could moti-vate athletes and see them as whole people.

“Academics are impor-tant, and (coaches) have to expect that. If a kid needs tutoring during practice time, it’s their job as coach to talk to the player and the teacher and work that out. If it has to be during prac-tice, they have to accept that. … Academics have to be first.”

To emphasize that point, NBH requires its student-athletes to carry a 2.2

grade point average rather than the 2.0 GPA required at other county schools.

“We look at academics all year long, not just when we have to look at them at the end of the semester,” Funkhouser said. “If their grades start to fall, we can do something about it. That’s a definite advantage of being a small school. … You can’t beat a smaller school. All eyes are on kids all the time, not in a nega-tive way like we’re waiting for them to slip up, but in a very positive way. I know all the kids in the school and almost all of them by name. The kids know that, ‘Hey, I need to be where I’m sup-posed to be and need to be studying the way I’m sup-posed to.’

“‘High expectations, high achievement,’ is our school’s motto. Those ex-pectations go across the board, from the classroom to the playing field, the gym, the clubs. We have high expectations for the kids, and they live up to them. We won’t water them down.”

The culture of athletics at NBH undoubtedly will change now that teams have seniors in all of their sports for the first time. The

Buccaneers have strug-gled to compete against senior-laden opponents in all sports, but that is to be expected with athletes who are less experienced and not as physically developed as players on rival teams.

Funkhouser, who is no less competitive now than she was when she was con-veying instructions to her volleyball players from the sidelines at Mosley’s Jim Redfern Gymnasium a de-cade ago, is certain NBH athletics are headed in the proper direction.

“I think we’ve been blessed with the coaches we’ve gotten,” she said. “When I took this position, my heart as a coach has always been for the kids. I want kids to love playing. I want them to work hard and win. I don’t want them to practice five days a week and not win.

“We have young coach-es. Jared Hale is a great football mind, and he has a personality that attracts kids, and they work hard for him. We have a new soccer coach in Jennifer Parrott, who played at Bay High and coaches Bay United. The kids are flocking to play, and our coaches make them feel like they care.”

Crossword Puzzle

SOluTION ON PAGe B5

Whether they want it to bark, purr, slither or squawk, there comes a time when a pet appears on nearly every child’s birthday wish list. For most parents, this decision can be a bit daunting. Is your child ready to take on the responsibility of caring for a pet? Will the new animal negatively affect his or her health? Though your child may think your wary attitude is unnecessary, these are valid questions for every parent to ask themselves and their family before welcoming a new pet into their home.

“The first thing that you need to think of is if your children are old enough and responsible enough to handle a pet around the house,” said Dr. Mark Stickney, Clinical

Associate Professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. “You also need to be aware of the temperament of the new pet that you’re bringing in.” Low maintenance animals, such as hamsters and fish, prove to be great starter pets for children. They require minimal amounts of time and care, introducing the child to the responsibilities of pet ownership without giving them more than they can manage.

Of course, puppies and kittens are always crowd pleasers as well. Their high energy level and love for attention makes them the perfect child companion. But what about when little Bobby

begs for that snake at the pet store? “With animals like lizards and snakes, their care and feeding requirements can be a bit tricky as far as humidity, temperature etc.,” Stickney said. “These animals also eat other animals for food,

which may be upsetting to some children. Depending on their age and maturity, that might be something beyond a child’s ability to handle.”

When choosing a family pet, it is also important to take into consideration your children’s sensitivity to various allergens. “One of the first things that you need to do is consult with your physician,” said Stickney. “If your child is allergic to pollen

or some sort of grass that an animal could track into the house, an indoor animal such as a cat would be a non-issue.”

However, if your children still have their heart set on that fluffy puppy, there are certainly ways to accommodate their desires. “Some dog breeds, such as Poodles and Yorkies, are considered to be less allergenic than others based on the amount of fur that they shed,” Stickney said. “And there is even evidence to support that infants exposed to animals earlier in life are less likely to develop allergies later on.”

Allowing your children to care for a pet is not all risk. Having a pet in your family has shown to be equally beneficial for both the animal and child.

“Dogs especially really enjoy having someone to play with them, teach them tricks, and do some basic obedience training,” said Stickney. “It’s mentally stimulating for both the dog and child, which can improve discipline on both ends.”

Research has shown numerous health benefits of owning a pet, including lower blood pressure and elevated mood. There is even evidence to support that interaction between pets and children with disabilities, such as Down’s syndrome or Autism, is extremely beneficial. “The key is that you need to have a nice, docile pet,” Stickney said. “One that isn’t too active or rough, but that just wants to be loved on and to love right back.”

Faith EVENTSAmish ain’t always AmishRecently, it was my privilege

to go to a convention in Ohio in the middle of a large Amish/Mennonite community. I looked forward to this very much because I grew up in Lancaster County Pennsylvania, which has many Amish/Mennonite communities. I was expecting quite a bit as I packed my bags to leave.

“Are you sure you got everything?” A phrase reiterated to me by the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage. To which I responded by saying, “Yes, for the umpteenth time I got everything.”

This in and of itself was to guarantee me I would forget something, usually essential in my travel. Then when I get home, I will be reminded that I was reminded to make sure I got everything.

Nothing, at this point, could deter my high-level expectation of going into an Amish/Mennonite community. My great eagerness was looking forward to indulging in one of my favorite desserts: the shoofl y pie. Nobody makes shoofl y pie quite like those wonderful Amish people. To make matters even more enticing, I would not have anybody sitting next to me reminding me I had enough shoofl y pie. I fully intended to gorge myself on as much shoofl y pie as my wallet could handle. In my book, there is no such thing as too much shoofl y pie.

I drove 15 hours to get to this little town in Ohio. Every mile creating anticipation for my dessert delicacy awaiting me in some Amish restaurant.

I confess it has been a long time since I visited an Amish/Mennonite community. Even though I grew up in such a community some things a person tends to forget.

The convention I was attending ended Sunday morning at lunch. I, being the grandiose Know-It-All, decided to skip the Sunday lunch and look for a restaurant to indulge in

my delectable delicacy. The convention was wonderful and as I left the grounds, I did so with a lot of joy in each step.

The thing I forgot was it was Sunday in an Amish/Mennonite community. If you have never been in such a community, let me inform you that on Sunday the only thing open are churches. I had forgotten this little tidbit.

During the week, I made a list of several Amish restaurants. I had plans of visiting each of them before I left and having shoofl y pie, a whole pie, in each restaurant. When I got to the fi rst restaurant, it fi nally hit me. This was Sunday and everything in an Amish/Mennonite community was closed. I do not usually go to a restaurant on Sunday unless it is some special occasion. I was a little chagrined to realize everything was closed. This only heightened my anticipation of the shoofl y pie delicacy awaiting me come tomorrow.

At times it feels like tomorrow will never come, but eventually tomorrow came and I awoke with a song on my lips, a pang of hunger in my stomach and a desire to indulge in a shoofl y delicacy. I fi nally arrived at my fi rst Amish restaurant and I was drooling so much I could hardly tell the hostess I was just a party of one. Boy, what a party it was going to be. Being a gentleman, I contained myself as best I could and ordered a very scrumptious repast. Nobody can cook like those Amish women. Oh, what a lunch I had. I think what made it so wonderful was the dessert expectation hovering over me like an angelic halo.

Just as I was fi nishing my lunch the lovely young waitress, all dressed in Amish attire, came by inquiring if I would like to see the dessert menu.

“No,” I said with a delectable determination, “I know exactly what I want for dessert.”

We exchanged smiles. I have no

idea what she was smiling about; maybe the anticipatory tip. I knew what I was smiling about; the anticipatory dessert. I tried to contain myself and carefully pace out my instructions.

“Young lady,” I said as calmly as possible, “I will have a piece of shoofl y pie. In fact, why don’t you bring me the whole pie.” And with that, I smiled.

The waitress looked at me rather strangely and said, “What kind of pie do you want?”

Being the kind of person that enjoys a good old-fashioned joke, I responded, “Ha ha ha. A shoofl y pie, if you please.”

“What’s a shoofl y pie?”I can take a joke as well as anybody

but there comes a time when all jokes need to be put aside and bring on the shoofl y pie. “This is an Amish restaurant, isn’t it?”

“Yes it is,” she smiled patiently.“You’ve heard of a shoofl y pie,

haven’t you?”“No, I’ve never heard of such a pie.”I cannot tell you the depth of

disappointment this brought to me. For weeks, I have been looking forward to some good old-fashioned shoofl y pie.

As it turned out, only the Amish/Mennonite in Lancaster County Pennsylvania, know anything about shoofl y pies. Not all Amish are the same even though they look alike.

The apostle Paul understood this kind of disappointment.

“If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” (1 Corinthians 15:19 KJV).

I have had many disappointments in life and many people have disappointed me, but I have found in Jesus Christ no disappointment whatsoever. All legitimate hope is in Jesus.

Kiwanis Club holds Tuesday LunchSpecial to Extra

CHIPLEY — The Chipley Kiwanis Club met for its weekly luncheon at Pattillo’s Restaurant at the Wash-ington – Holmes Technical Center, on Aug. 5. Lunch was provided by the students of the culinary program at the Technical Center.

Paul Goulding, program chair-man, introduced Ruth McCrary, Jane Potter, Cynthia Johnson and Susan Roberts, members of the Friends of the Library. Mrs. McCrary and Mrs. Potter presented information about their organization.

“The first public library was founded in 1934 by the Chipley Wom-an’s Club,” Mrs. McCrary noted.

In September of 1988 the Com-munity Improvement Committee of the Chipley Woman’s Club rec-ommended that the Friends of the Library be formed as a separate organization. In 1989 the Friends of the Washington County Library was formed with Margie Sangaree serv-

ing as its first president.“The Friends of the Library meet

eight times per year at the Blue Lake Community Center. It pres-ently has 67 members. The Friends assist in program development for the Washington County Library in Chipley and the branch libraries in Wausau, Sunny Hills and Vernon as well. It also provides informa-tional services in support of all of the Washington County Branches. The Friends sponsor fund raisers including “Bridgarama”, an annual card and game night, and sales of excess books. Last year the Friends purchased the new lighted sign for the Chipley Branch and purchased $2,000 worth of books for the librar-ies as well.”

Mrs. Potter is the Program Chair and informed the Kiwanians that the Friends provide a number of programs during the year.

This past year the speakers have included authors Chuck Barris (novel “Toymaker”), Michael Morris

(novels “A Place Called Wiregrass” and “Elisa James”), Nancy Springer (novel “Dark Lie”), and Michael List-er (novel “Thunder Beach”). Other speakers included Elisa James, a Panama City Attorney who served two tours in Afghanistan as an Of-ficer in the Army Judge Advocate General Corps (military attorneys), Carolyn Saunders, an Instructor at Chipola College, and Gus Gustafson, a local minister who spoke about SCUBA diving.

The annual Chipley Kiwanis Din-ner Theater will be held on Thurs-day, Sept. 24. Entertainment this year will include local singers and musicians.

The Kiwanis club meets Tues-days at Pattillo’s restaurant in the middle of the WHTC campus at noon. For an invitation, contact any Kiwanian or Laura Joiner, Member-ship Chairperson at 260-5971.

Bonifay Garden Club supports state and national effortSpecial to Extra

BONIFAY — Bonifay Garden Club is supporting Florida and National Garden Club efforts to help reforest national and state parks. In 2010 and 2011, more than 11,000 acres were destroyed by wildfires in Oceola Na-tional and John Bethea State Forest in Florida. Human activities also de-stroy portions of forests.

The U.S. Forest Service is trying to reforest 250-500 acres per year to replace those trees. Sixty-eight dol-lars will buy enough trees to replant one acre.

Garden Clubs are committed to improving and preserving the en-vironment. Bonifay Garden Club is honoring that commitment by par-ticipating in Penny Pines Reforesta-tion Project.

A collection jar will be at each meeting, and jars can be placed in various businesses about town. Each time $68 have been donated, it will be turned over to the Florida Federation, and a lump sum check will be sent periodically to the U.S. Forest Service.

More than 80 national forests will benefit from this project. Indigenous

trees will be planted in the forests, especially the endangered longleaf pine.

The public is invited to participate in this project, and donations can be given to honor individuals. You may request a donation form available at ffg.org. Bonifay Garden Club Trea-surer is Eileen Wright, 1774 Highway 177A, Bonifay, FL 32425.

The Bonifay Garden Club will meet on Sept. 13 in the board room at Doctor’s Memorial Hospital. New members are encouraged to attend this first meeting of the 2013-14 club year.
