Labor Day celebration to be held Saturday Postponed

July 4 fi reworks,

music, food planned

By RANDAL SEYLER638-0212 | @WCN_HCT

rseyler@chipleypaper.com

VERNON — The city of Vernon will celebrate La-bor Day this Saturday with food, music, fi reworks and fun, in spite of recent fl ood-ing, said Mayor Michelle Cook.

In fact, the fl ooding, which began on July 2, was the reason the Fourth of July celebration was post-poned until Labor Day. Now, just a few days before the offi cial end of summer and the beginning of Sep-tember, Vernon and Wash-ington County are still dealing with fl ooded roads,

businesses and homes.“The activities will begin

at 5 p.m., and the fi reworks will be at 9 p.m.,” Cook told the Vernon City Council on Monday night. “Gilley’s is providing the entertain-ment, and there will be bounce houses and games for the kids.” The city will also be providing the food

for the event, she said.The only thing that is

missing from the July 4 cel-ebration will be the parade.

Volunteers will be in Vernon helping families repair their fl ood-dam-aged homes, the mayor said. Ben Tarpley of Live

CHIPLEY — Serving as a Guard-ian ad Litem volunteer advocate takes not only training — it also takes an open heart and common sense, said Fred Hapner, circuit director for the 14th Circuit Guard-ian ad Litem Program.

The 14th Circuit Guardian ad Litem Program, which includes Washington and Holmes Counties, started its regular training pro-gram on Aug. 12 in Chipley with a

handful volunteers enrolled. The State of Florida Guardian

ad Litem Program is a network of professional staff and community advocates, partnering to provide a voice in court for the children and to create positive change on behalf of Florida’s abused and

neglected children. The GAL program uses adult

volunteers who are concerned for the well being of children and have a continuing commitment to advo-cate for a child until a safe and per-manent home is obtained.

There are 21 local Guardian ad Litem programs in 20 judicial cir-cuits in Florida.

Every year more than half a million abused and neglected chil-dren are in need of safe, perma-nent, nurturing homes.

BOCC approves restaurant

requestBy RANDAL SEYLER

638-0212 | @WCN_HCTrseyler@chipleypaper.com

CHIPLEY — The Washing-ton County Board of Com-missioners approved the re-quest for variance by Soms-ri’s Restaurant in Vernon on Thursday, clearing the way for construction on the new facility to begin.

“Widening Highway 79 will take out part of their building and all their front parking,” said Michael De-Runtz, senior planner for the county.

The request for a setback variance for the restaurant went before the county Planning Commission on Aug. 6, and the commission-ers recommended approval of the request.

The widening of High-way 79 by the Department of Transportation took a large portion of the restaurant’s frontage, and the new con-struction will bring the res-taurant back up to where it was pre-construction.

“The Planning Commis-sion reviewed this request, and they recommend it be approved,” DeRuntz told the board. “This is a unique hardship for this particular application.”

“The owners want to stay where they are, but they need some relief,” said Panama City attorney Mar-tha “Sister” Blackmon Mil-

From Staff Reports

CHIPLEY — A Cottondale man was arrested after a Holmes County man was in the foot, according to a re-port from the Washington County Sheriff ’s Offi ce.

David Ellis Mabry, 43, of Cottondale was ar-rested in connection with charges of aggravated battery with a fi rearm and shooting a fi re-

arm from a vehicle. The arrests stemmed

from an Aug. 17 report of a shooting at a residence on Gilbert’s Mill Road.

The shooting occurred in the early morning hours of Aug. 17 after Mabry received a call from his brother, who was attending a party at the Gilbert’s Mill

Road residence. Mabry went to the residence

where the party was being held. When Mabry arrived at the resi-dence, he observed two male sub-jects approaching his vehicle then fi red several shots into the air as well as at the ground from the driv-er’s side of his vehicle, according to the report.

Mabry then left in his vehicle, stopping a short distance down the road.

Mabry said he was followed by a vehicle, so Mabry exited his vehi-

cle and fi red approximately seven rounds with a SKS assault rifl e into the vehicle.

Cody Alan Corbin, who was driving the vehicle Mabry fi red his weapon into, was struck in the foot.

EMS arrived at the scene and Corbin refused to be taken to the hospital.

Mabry was arrested and trans-ported to the Washington County Jail.

ligan, when she represented the restaurant at the Aug. 6 Planning Commission meeting.

The Vernon City Council also approved the proposed construction. The county was being asked to approve reducing the setback re-quirements from 50 feet to 10 feet to allow the restau-rant to stay on its current location. Designs call for a new parking lot alongside the restaurant. The new building will seat as many customers as the restau-rant could prior to the DOT

project.“This is a case of the

property owners facing a hardship because of the highway taking their prop-erty,” DeRuntz said. “These variances will put back what is existing currently.”

In other business, the county commissioners took no action to suspend impact fees on new housing in the county for 2014. The impact fees were waived last year, and Commissioner Todd Ab-bott asked the board to con-sider reinstating the fees for the coming year.

“We lost $59,000 in rev-enue from the budget by waiving those fees,” Abbott said. The impact fee is a $1,400 charge by the county on new construction, includ-ing mobile homes.

Last year, Commissioner Charles Brock had recom-mended the fees be waived for one year to save hom-eowners money and to en-courage development in the county.

Abbott noted that he was not suggesting raising taxes by reinstating the fee. “This is a fee, not a tax,” he said.

County Attorney Jeff Goodman said the commis-sioners did not have to take any action to reinstate the fees. “The fee was waived for one year, so it will go back into effect automati-cally,” he said.

Brock made a motion that the impact fees be waived for another year, but the motion died due to a lack of a second.

Commissioner Lynn Go-thard made a motion that the county apply $300,000 of Sunny Hills MSBU funds toward the Sunny Hills

loan debt. “That will leave $171,000 in there,” she said of the account.

The commissioners voted earlier this year to do away with the MSBU and contract out the mowing in Sunny Hills, freeing up the rest of the money raised by the taxing district to be ap-plied toward the $1.66 mil-lion in loans the county has been paying on. The plan was to pay the debt off as quickly as possible. The Mu-nicipal Service Benefit Unit, or MSBU, is an ordinance-created tax district.

Sal Zurica asked the com-missioners, on the behalf of the Sunny Hills residential association, to inventory all the equipment from the MSBU that the county plans to sell and to provide to him a detailed list of what was sold and how much money each item earned.

Zurica read a list of items the MSBU possessed that were not maintenance re-lated, including a TV and a pair of recliners.

“I would like to see a bet-ter inventory list than what was given to me,” he said.

As trained advocates, GAL volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for these children in court.

A Guardian ad Litem is much more to a child than just their court advocate, according to the website, guardianadlitem.org.

“A GAL volunteer often be-comes a role model, mentor, educational surrogate, friend, confidant, and most important, a consistent caring person on whom the child can rely,” ac-cording to the website.

The role of the advocate is to assess the situation in which the child is living and be able to make a recommendation to the agency and the court about the situation in which their wards are living.

“Is it neglect if there is no food in the home?” asked Fred Hapner, circuit director, who was leading the first training session for the new volunteers.

One of the advocate trainees suggests it might be the end of the month, and the coffers are bare.

“That’s a good point. Just because there isn’t food in the house, that doesn’t mean the child isn’t being fed.” Hapner said advocates have to not only observe the situation that the children are living in, but they also have to be able to put things in perspective.

That perspective is impor-

tant for a GAL advocate, be-cause their recommendations wind up going to the judge in Dependency Court, and can have an impact on the proceed-ing’s outcome.

“A lot of times this comes down to your own experiences and common sense,” Hapner said.

He also gave the example of a home having no electrici-ty. “Would it be neglectful to be living in a home without elec-tricity? We may think so, but a judge may disagree with us.”

The question becomes can you live without electric-ity, and Hapner said the an-swer is yes, even if it might be uncomfortable.

“In the good old days, there wasn’t electricity, or running water, or indoor plumbing, but that wasn’t considered neglect — that was just the way it was.”

Hapner said that reports from the GAL to the courts were based on the advocates’ information. “This information is backed up by what you have seen and heard at the home.”

Advocates are not investiga-tors in the sense that they are out to solve a crime, Hapner said. “I had one advocate in Bay County who was a former FBI agent and he was always want-ing to solve the case,” Hapner said. “We aren’t there to solve the case or find someone guilty,

we’re there to look out for the child’s best interests.”

The advocate gathers in-formation to be better able to make an informed recom-mendation on the behalf of the child or children involved. The advocate is not out there alone, it is a team effort between the GAL staff, the attorneys, and the advocates.

GAL advocates gather in-formation and facilitate things for the child and the family. “If you have resources, contacts that can help the family that is great,” Hapner said. “For ex-

ample, if the power is turned off, and you know that if you call the church they can help, then by all means use those resources.”

Volunteers also are there to be advocates for the children. “Ultimately it is up to the volun-teer to gather information and make a recommendation that is in the best interest of the child,” Hapner said.

The next training session for volunteers will be held in the fall. For more informa-tion about volunteering, call 747-5180.

The Guardian ad Litem program meets in Chipley and a new training class will begin in the fall. Volunteers act as court appointed advocates for children in Washington and Holmes counties.

Local Washington County News | A3Wednesday, August 28, 2013

Oaks, Fla., founder of the volunteer group Hammers and Hearts, reported at the Aug. 19 council workshop that his group, along with Catholic Charities and the Northwest Florida Baptist Association and the Meth-odist churches were begin-ning to organize work par-ties to help repair people’s homes.

Cook said it has been brought to her attention, by the volunteer groups, that there is a need for food donations. The volun-teer groups are working to set up a food pantry at city hall.

The volunteers work on private properties, but will not work to rebuild rental properties, Tarpley said.

People interested in volunteering to help Ham-mers and Hearts with cleaning and construc-tion should call Tarpley at 478-258-7585.

Residents wanting to be added to the list for assis-tance should call the county Emergency Management Office at 638-6203.

Vernon City Hall will be closed on Sept. 2 for the holiday, City Clerk Dian Hendrix said.

The council also voted to hire a temporary em-ployee to help in public works while Public Works Director Gerald Ward is out of the office on leave. The council also approved a pay increase for the city’s public works director dur-ing Monday’s meeting.

The council also dis-cussed former city attor-ney Kerry Adkison’s final bill, which the council has challenged.

Hendrix said the city has received an itemized bill and an affidavit, as well as an email from Adkison.

Adkison is refusing to let the city have the files per-taining to ongoing litigation until the bill is paid. City At-torney Michelle Tagert said Adkison is holding the files

as a lien until the payment is made, but she needs the files to assess the ac-curacy of the itemized bill the former attorney has submitted.

“I see a few charges on here that I think are prob-ably reasonable,” Tagert said of the bill.

The city has been in on-going litigation with a prop-erty owner, and Tagert said she is concerned with the amount of work the city is being billed for that case.

Councilman Tray Hawkins asked Tagert what would be a reasonable bill for that case.

“Without the files, I can-not tell you what would be reasonable,” she said.

The city also contests the bill for the lawsuit that Adkison lost to Florida Freedom News, the for-mer parent company of the Washington County News. The lawsuit was the result of the city council, under Adkison’s counsel, violat-ing the Florida Sunshine Law in April 2012. The mat-ter went to court, and ulti-mately the newspaper was awarded the sum of $3,900.

“I don’t mind paying Mr. Adkison,” said Councilman Joey Brock. “My concern is some of the statements he has made to the council, and that is why I think we should turn this over to our new attorney. I can’t see us paying him $27,000. I’m not saying we don’t owe him $27,000, but I would like for him to prove it.”

Hawkins asked Tagert if the city could enter into arbitration with Adkison. “I don’t want the city hav-ing any more litigation,” he said.

“You can attempt to set-tle with him,” Tagert said. “My main concern is I don’t want to repeat work that the city has already paid for as our other litigation moves forward.”

“I’d just like you two to get together and work

this out,” Hawkins said to Tagert.

Tagert said she had been unsuccessful in get-ting Adkison to return her calls, but she would contin-ue trying to contact him.

“How about I call him and get him to get in touch with you?” Hawkins asked.

In other business, Fire Chief Tim Barnes reported that both fire trucks are still out of service following an accident on Aug. 18.

The two trucks were on their way down Highway 79 to a car fire in Ebro on a rainy Sunday when the fire engine started to skid in the rain after braking to avoid a vehicle which had suddenly stopped in front of the truck in the roadway.

“They didn’t pull over, they just hit the brakes when they saw us,” Barnes told the council at the Aug. 19 workshop.

The fire engine turned sideways on Highway 79, and the tanker truck was unable to stop and struck the fire engine.

As of Monday, there was no report on the how much the repairs to the fire trucks would cost, or even if the trucks were repairable.

“So basically, we’re out of the fire business,” Hawkins said.

When the Perry Wells family moved to Chipley in early 1970 to fi nalize plans for opening a Sears and Roebuck and Company catalog store, they found themselves moving on the “fast track” and rapidly became acquainted with more residents of the town, almost daily.

By the time the opening day for our store came on April 2, 1970, we had already been furnished information by the Sears Marketing Research Department stating that 90 percent of the residents of Chipley were Sears Customers and were actively doing business with the company at other outlets in Dothan and Panama City Retail Stores, or directly with the mail order department in Atlanta.

We became personally acquainted with those in our customer index fi les, as well as explore the new names and new customers, who became not just faces,

but real people who were patronizing our business in town at an unbelievable fast pace.

We soon noted that many of our customers lived in

the two blocks comprising Page Avenue located on Chipley’s east border. We soon met the couple, Bert Roberts, Jr. and his wife, Nell (parents of Bert III and Gale) who had recently developed this section of town

by purchasing and moving the old Drummond Park Housing Units in Panama City, surplus from World War II. In addition to the rental plan, a purchase opportunity was offered with the property sold on a “rent to own” basis. Bert Roberts, III, told me that his grandfather, Bert Roberts, Sr. was involved in he business venture and that his mother, Nell Roberts looked after the day by day business, while his father, Bert, Jr. continued

employment at Tyndall AFB Base.

One couple utilizing the purchase plan was M. L. (Marcus) Shelley and his wife, Edna Shelley. They are the parents of two sons, Lafayette and Kenny Shelley, who remain in the area. The John and Alma Claghorn family and Ruby Barber were also residents of Page Avenue.

Mr. Shelley, an enterprising do-it-your-self native of Headland, Ala., set out to “brick” his newly purchased frame home. He knew that E. W. (Judge) Carswell, was always interested in writing newspaper articles of human interest stories, and contacted him. Soon, this narrative of the home owner’s energy project, was printed.

“Man Pulls Brick Trick on Energy Wolf ” By E.W. Carswell, News-Journal Staff Writer.

When Chipley’s M. L. Shelley became convinced of a lasting energy shortage, he decided to undertake some inexpensive insulation for his frame home at 1012 Page Ave. here. In the meantime he has invested his own time and enough cash to buy a few sacks of mortar mix. And the job is nearly fi nished.

Shelley, who is retired, had a lot of time on his hands: “I was just itching to be doing something”, he explained. Being a-jack-of-all-trades, he had already used welding and black smithing equipment to build a variety of gardening and household items.

He launched his brick insulation project by collecting used brick that

had been discarded at Chipley’s solid disposal site. “They didn’t cost me anything, but I invested a good bit of labor in cleaning them,” he explained.

“But I have been looking for something useful to do, and this seemed to be the most useful thing I could think of at the time,” he said. The bricks, in a variety of shades and colors, provide an attractive wall design for his home. He agrees that it would have cost him a lot of money to buy such a pattern of bricks. After all, he laughed, “I doubt if you’d be able to buy such a collection of bricks from dealers anywhere..

When he got a supply of brick cleaned and ready, Shelley started laying them. He stopped when he reached window height but resumed his brick-laying after collecting and cleaning some more of them. “It was a slow process, but I was in no particular hurry,” Shelley explained. “I just kept plodding away, and it won’t be long until I have the job fi nished. He reckons that he has laid between 9,000 and 10,000 brick, and he’s maybe 85 to 90 percent complete.

And he can already tell the difference, for an energy usage standpoint. He noted that there’s an airspace between the brick and the wall of the wood-frame of the original structure. He said that helps trap warmth in winter and helps keep the house cool in the summer. And, of course, that reduces the demand for heating and cooling.

Shelley, like they used to say about Winston

Churchhill, likes to lay brick. He said he got a sense of accomplishment or creativity from the work.

“I’ve enjoyed it all,” said the Chipley man. He has enjoyed it so much, in fact, that he has built a decorative gazebo near his home. It is built mostly of brick, which he reclaimed from the solid waste disposal site. Near the gazebo, he has built an oven-like cookout facility in the form of a wishing well. He used the brick

from the same source in its construction, too.

Racing atop a small tower nearby is a windmill, which Shelley built in his shop. The little windmill isn’t pulling anything. It just spins in the breeze to add atmosphere to the gazebo and fake wishing well. “I just built it for fun”, said Shelley. He has also collected and restored, where needed, some old seed planters, plows and

The fi rst Washington County Economic Development Symposium held on Aug. 20 at PAEC can be an important fi rst step toward the future.

A panel of six experts on economic development spent a couple of hours explaining to Washington County leaders and elected offi cials what it takes to attract industry to a rural area and ways

the improve the existing economic structure by shopping locally and growing hometown businesses.

Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Ted Everett organized the event, and he plans on holding a series of symposiums until the county leaders develop a plan for the economic development of the

county. Washington County’s

leadership will have to step up and make some diffi cult decisions. Tax revenue will be needed to fund any future projects, such as creating a shovel ready site on which a potential industry could place a facility.

County zoning and the Future Land Use Map will have to be

changed to allow for industrial growth, and if industrial growth should come, residential and commercial zoning is likely to grow as well.

County commissioners and planning commissioners will have to think and act with foresight — a behavior that will certainly be a diffi cult task for some of our current leadership.

Planning and zoning decisions will have to be made with an eye on the future, not mired waist deep in the past, and revenue will have to be raised in some manner, which means taxation to create a fund for economic development — hopefully in the form of one day having a shovel ready site in Washington County.

The Washington County Chamber of Commerce board of directors and Everett are to be commended for their efforts to get the county moving toward future prosperity. Economic Development is like the lottery — if you don’t play, you can’t win — and now Washington County has taken its fi rst step toward becoming a player.

With the demolition of the McGee Home on Waukesha St. in Bonifay, several other homes come to mind that may suffer the same fate in the future as no family remain to keep them in repair. At a time when our locale’s economic development was centered around the plentiful timber industry, a cheap source of fi ne pine, hardwood and cypress led to the construction of spacious well-built dwellings. The earlier settlers had built the cracker style homes with an open hallway (dog run) fl anked by rooms on either side, a front porch spanning the front and often a separate kitchen. The wide hall let in the summer breezes in the Florida summers and the detached kitchen kept some of the heat from the wood-burning cook stove from the main house. It was also a safety feature as the kitchen’s wood fi red stove presented an ever present threat.

Those who became more affl uent during the

early part of the 20th century particularly with the naval stores (gum, turpentining, etc) and timber harvesting

and the related business such as banking that was a part of that boom sought to enjoy their prosperity by building fi ner homes to refl ect their economic prosperity. Since Florida heat was a

major discomfort, these homes were built with 12 to 14 foot ceiling, wide roof overhang and wide verandas to protect from the heat.

Thanks to Barbara Belford, the Prim House which belonged to an early banker, has been maintained in fi ne form despite suffering a serious fi re several years ago. Dr. Stan Owens purchased the Levi Yates home several years ago as a residence. Down the street, the Alto Barefoot home is occupied by a family from the Gold Coast of Florida. They have done restoration work on the structure. On the same street, The Saville home is occupied by David

and Vicky Guthrie. The Dr. Hutchinson home on Hubbard Street is occupied by a family member and is well maintained. The “Fig Tree” on Evans Av at Oklahoma is now for sale. Built about 1905 by J.S. Brown, it has had extensive renovations by Harvey and Jo Ann Foxworth, who operated a Bed and Breakfast for a while.

The Brooksie Godwin home on Evans is occupied by the Hedrick family. Several homes on Evans date back to Bonifay’s early beginnings including the Stott and VanLanding homes and homes built by the Williams families. All are occupied today. In north Bonifay, Dr. Bailey and husband James and

Later it was occupied by his son, James and Maude Waits and her nephew, Ed Shaver, better known as Sonny Waits. Over the years, many people have lived in the apartments, but today the home is restored and is currently being advertised as a guest home and special events place.

Dear Editor,I read the article

concerning the female meth user. She has been listed frequently in the arrest reports over the years. Apparently the HCSD did it duty.

Why was she out of jail? An even bigger and more important question why was she even allowed within a thousand miles of the child? Let alone be with the child. Hope there is an investigation and she is put in jail for life. After all she did ruin that child’s life.

Time for zero tolerance.Dick Basht

“Few people remember that stuff.” he said, pushing a fertilizer distributor to demonstrate its “knock” and efficiency.

“This is an old Gnatt plow”, he said. “Did you ever hear of a Gnatt middle buster”? Well, that’s what this is,” dragging the plow out to show its form.

He said some of the things, like the plows, turpentine tools, blacksmith anvil, could form the nucleus of a frontier museum. Shelley agrees that’s where they

should be. “They’re reminders of our past that are being forgotten fast”, Shelley observed. “That’s why I have tried to keep so many of them.”

See you all next week.

family live in the beautiful home built by Floyd Griffeth in the 1920s. Across Waukesha is her medical office situated in the former residence of the Duncan Bouie family.

The Alford home owned now by Larry Alford is presently in good repair and next door is the Newton home. Across the street is the Waites home. Surrounded by an ironwork fence, it is by far Bonifay’s most imposing structure from the early 1900s. This beautiful home was built by the

Waites family who were owners of the Henderson Waites Lumber Company, which had an important economic impact on this area. Its headquarters were in Caryville, a booming town in its day.

However, in its present condition, the Waites home is at risk for the same fate as the McGee house. In other places, I have visited historic homes which have been preserved by families and open to the public. I am thinking that we need to find a way to preserve that building, perhaps in

cooperation with the city. A foundation could be formed to raise funds for preservation. Perhaps a grant would be available for historic preservation. Local clubs such as the historical society and the garden club need to get involved and find a way to preserve this beautiful piece of our history. Perhaps some business will get interested in using it again as a place for weddings and special events. The Eureka Hotel is gone. The McKinnon home is gone. The L. & N.

Depot is gone. Let’s get our heads together and find a way to preserve this fine architectural treasure before it falls to the ravages of time and decay.

Bonifay doesn’t have the number of fine homes which some cities have and when Highway 79 is four-laned to the state line, other structures will be sacrificed in the name of progress. We need to wake up and find a way to keep the Waites home not as a relic of the past, but for future generations to appreciate their heritage.

HaPPy from page A4

Last week, the Florida State Board of Administration released an encouraging financial update on Florida’s retirement plan for Florida deputies, law enforcement and correctional professionals, as well as state workers. Board of Administration Executive Director Ash Williams told the Florida Cabinet that the pension plan stands at $132 billion, nearly $10 billion higher than the previous fiscal year began. He attributed this outstanding result to “prudent diversification of assets, cost controls, and excellent fund manager selection.”

This is great news for the citizens of Florida. This reaffirms that Florida’s retirement plan for public servants continues to be one the best managed and funded plans in the nation. Of course it is especially good news for our law enforcement officers and other public safety servants who serve the public every day knowing that their service could result in them making the ultimate sacrifice like Sergeant Wilson of the Charlotte County Sheriff ’s Office did last week.

As Sheriffs, it is our duty and commitment to keep safe the Floridians and visitors we serve, as well as those who work in our organizations. It is good public policy to ensure that our pension system remains well-funded with solid investments so that the financial

welfare of these public servants in retirement is fair and reasonable. The daily risks that deputies and other law enforcement officers face are significant; a well-funded retirement is one benefit that our state must provide to balance some of those risks for law enforcement and their families.

Since the beginning of the economic downturn we have all become aware of how many public pensions throughout the nation have become unsustainable and we must remain vigilant and fiscally responsible so that our pension plan will continue to serve as a role model for generations to come. We have been and we will continue to collaborate with the Florida Legislature and other chief executives across the spectrum of public service to strengthen our pension plan to be able to respond to this challenging and unique economic environment. In light of the current 13 percent return on our pension fund investments while affording our employees the option of participating in a “defined-benefit” plan or the “investment” plan, your Sheriffs want to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for continued effective and prudent management of these taxpayer dollars by the Florida State Board of Administration.

We want to thank the legislative leaders who continue to support

their public servants by providing and protecting our pension plan and for continuing to seek ways to make its fiscal health even better. There has been a long history of providing our military members and our public service employees with a fair and viable pension for their service and the wisdom of this policy has stood the test of time. Fortunately we live in a state whose leaders understand public pensions can only exist if they are managed effectively and do not become an unsustainable burden on our citizens.

This latest Florida State Board of Administration report clearly demonstrates the solid foundation of Florida’s retirement system. With continued sound investments, proper asset management, and adequate funding, Florida’s retirement system will continue to shine as an example to others. All of our goals remain the same; to hold the great state of Florida up as a model, in every aspect – from safe communities with low taxes and beautiful natural resources to a balanced budget. This is the Florida we love and support.

Grady Judd is Sheriff of Polk County Florida and President of the Florida Sheriffs Association. David Shoar is Sheriff of St. Johns County and Vice-President of the Florida Sheriffs Association.

Kudos to state for keeping law enforcement retirement funds strong

GRACEVILLE — Graceville Tigers gave the Holmes County Blue Devils a run for their money after pull-ing out a win with a score of 15-6 during opening game of the season, the Preseason Classic, on Aug. 23.

The Tigers started off strong in the fi rst quarter, and though they did not score any touchdowns, they were able to hold back the Blue Devils from mak-ing any of their own.

The Tigers scored the fi rst touchdown with 9:50 left in the fi rst half by Jar-ed Padgett, and with a suc-cessful two-point conver-sion, the score was 8-0.

During the third quar-ter, the Blue Devils made

several attempts to regain their footing, but after the Tigers gained ground and held back the Blue Devils, the third quarter ended in a draw with neither side gaining any points.

The Blue Devils re-gained some momentum for Thomas Parrish to score a touchdown with 6:21 left in the game, but with an unsuccessful at-tempt at a two-point con-version, the score was 8-6.

The Tigers then retali-ated with a touchdown by Padgett with 3:40, and with a successful kick, the score became 15-6.

The Graceville Tigers face off against the Baker Gators in an away game at 7 p.m. on Aug. 30, and the Holmes County Blue Devils face off against the Arnold Marlins in a home game at 7 p.m. on Aug. 30.

Another pre-stakes favorite in Boc’s Sportspice was a fi rst-round winner, but highly regarded Killer Truman ran second to Flyin Katy Perry. Other winners were Flying Lucia, Windy Dana, AJN Chris Bosh, Flying Pistol and Kiowa Carmen.

After the second round the fi eld of 64 greyhounds will be cut to 32, with four elimination races scheduled for Saturday evening.

The track win lead continues to be hotly contested with the end of the season up-coming Sett. 21. Diane Crump has 16 wins, Luke Nolan has 15, Keen Jolene has 14 and Lori Keith 13.

Tigers top Bulldogs with fumble return

in fi nal secondsBy RANDAL SEYLER

638-0212 | @WCN_HCTrseyler@chipleypaper.com

CHIPLEY — Chipley’s football season be-gan with a nail-biter Friday when the Ti-gers hosted the Liberty County Bulldogs at Philip Rountree Stadium.

The Tigers would win the Kickoff Clas-sic 22-16, and win in a spectacular fashion — junior tight end Bradley Hall snatched up a Bulldogs fumble and returned it 41 yards to score with only 20 seconds left to play in the game.

The soggy fi eld limited the passing game for both teams and kept the audiences to a minimum, but the rain didn’t diminish the players’ spirits — both teams were playing to win, even if the game doesn’t count on the season’s record.

The Tigers had held a 16-8 lead going into the fi nal minutes of play, and the Chi-pley defense even held off the Bulldogs for four downs from inside the 10. But when the Tigers took over on downs, they were un-able to gain back any yardage, and a risky decision to go for it on fourth and long from inside their own 10 yard mark backfi red.

The second time the Bulldogs got control of the ball at fi rst and goal, they were more determined, and after three tries William Hayes found the end zone. A.J. Palmberg’s PAT made it 16-16 with only 1:38 remaining, and it looked like the Classic was going to end in a tie.

On the next drive, the Tigers managed 17 yards but ended up turning over the ball on downs at their own 41 with 26 seconds left in the game.

Liberty County fumbled the snap on the next play, and the ball was scooped up by Hall, who had a clear path to the end zone.

The Bulldogs drew fi rst blood at 6:23 in the fi rst quarter when Jordan Chaney scored, then added a PAT for good mea-sure, but the Tigers answered when Kobe McCrary scored a touchdown of his own. Wyatt Brock’s PAT tied the game up 8-8.

In the third quarter, McCrary ran it in on a sweep from the 5-yard mark, and added two with a PAT to put the Tigers up 16-8.

Chipley travels to Vernon on Friday night to take on the Yellow Jackets for their season opener. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

PANAMA CITY BEACH — Eight women on Friday night joined a list of 100 women of the Panhandle who through the years have made a notable impact on the community.

The eight honorees were selected from a list of 20 nominees, and all of them were honored at the Girl Scout Council of the Florida Panhandle’s 2013 Women of Distinction Awards Gala

at the Edgewater Beach Resort.

“To be able to spotlight these women and let the others in the community know that this is the type of caliber we have here, is absolutely amazing,” said Donna Pilson, chair of the gala and a 2012 Women of Distinction honoree. “The group of nominees that we have is nothing short of phenomenal.”

Of the nominees, the program’s highest honors of Diamond Award and Pearl Award were awarded

to Sharon Sheffield and Dot Nelson, respectively.

The former is awarded to a woman who has made a lifetime impact on her ca-reer field, and the latter is awarded to a woman who has made lifetime impact on the Girl Scouts. A life-time impact is considered to be a period of at least 15 years, officials said.

Sheffield, former Lynn Haven city commissioner and mayor, shed tears as she spoke to the audience. She said she loves giving to her community.

“First of all, I’m hon-ored,” Sheffield said. “I do what I do because I love what I do — anything I can do to help more children. … You never know who you’re making an impression on, so it behooves us to do the best that we can every day that we can.”

Nelson has been a mem-ber of Girl Scouts for more than 80 years. Officials said because of “health and weather issues,” Nelson was not present to receive her award. The pastor of her church received it on her behalf.

Each woman was nomi-nated by a person in the community and met with a selection panel that chose the best nominee in the categories of media, law enforcement, education, community service, health, science and engineering and business.

“I truly feel that tonight has been one of the most exciting times that we have been able to do something here in the Bay County area,” said Raslean M. Al-len, Girl Scout Council of the Florida Panhandle chief executive officer. “(The pro-gram) truly speaks to the recognition of the women that are currently here do-ing the things that they do. Truly they inspire our girls — encourage confidence and character — that will make the world a better place.”

Nicole Barefield, pub-lisher at the Washington County News and Holmes County Times-Advertiser, was awarded the honor of distinction in the media category.

“It’s very humbling and I’m very appreciative that someone took the time to share this information about me,” she said. “I’m deeply honored to have

been nominated and to be of the company of remark-able women.”

Barefield has been in the media business for more than 30 years, working pri-marily at The News Herald. Her career history includes several facets of the media industry, including news and marketing.

The awards program is designed to give current Girl Scouts role models.

“It gives the girls an example of achievements and contributions women can make,” Pilson said. “It gives them role models and helps them to see women in the community are do-ing great things. Hopefully,

it will inspire them to want to follow in those footsteps and encourage them and let them know, ‘Hey I can do this as well.’ ”

The Women of Distinc-tion awards ceremony was instituted in 1998. All money generated by the program funds Girl Scout-ing programs and activities across the organization’s service area.

“To know that just about all of them have had some connection with Girl Scouts some time in their life, it just shows the reach of Girl Scouts is so far,” Pilson added, noting nominees do not have to be affiliated to the organization.

Faith EVENTSSome mysteries are tough to solveFor my wife’s birthday (I

am not allowed to mention which one) I surprised her with round trip tickets to her family reunion in upper New York State. Out of courtesy to her, I elected not to include myself in her little vacation. After all, it is her family and that is just the kind of man I am.

I must say I was looking forward to a week in the house by myself, where I could be the absolute boss. Nobody to tell me what to do. Nobody to tell me where to go.

For a week, I would be the king of my castle; the captain of my ship; the pilot of my spacecraft.

Actually, I need more than one week to do all of these things.

The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage deserves time off and away from Yours Truly.

All year long, she works hard and most of the time has her hands full trying to untangle me from one foil after another. Lately, it has developed into a foil-time job.

The day fi nally came for me to take her to the airport and see her off. As I kissed her goodbye, my thoughts roved back to the week that lay before me as a freelance husband.

All the way back from the airport I played my Barry Manilow CD. I like Barry Manilow because he can’t Smile without Me. Believe me, a smile creased my clock all the way home.

One difference between men and women, or maybe I

should say husbands and wives, is the notion of cleanliness. Wives have the idea that cleanliness is next to godliness. If true, ours is the godliest house on the planet. Even God must wipe his feet before coming into our home.

As a man, I see absolutely no connection between cleanliness and godliness. I do my best thinking, not to mention praying, in the midst of clutter. If godliness is related to happiness, then I am in heaven when I am in the midst of hodgepodge — the podgier the better.

Along about Friday afternoon I was absolutely in heaven. The house was a complete wreck and I could not have been happier. About this time, an incident developed that brought me to my senses.

I was about ready to take a shower when I noticed the soap and shampoo in my shower were gone. I knew reserves are somewhere in our house but for the life of me; I could not put my fi ngers on any of it. This is by my wife’s design.

Notwithstanding, and I was standing in my birthday suit, I needed to take a shower. Then a brilliant idea struck me. Since my wife has not been home all week, the shampoo and soap in her shower should be in great supply. Snatching my towel from my shower, I headed for hers.

One thing I noticed in my

wife’s shower was the variety of bottles. Not wearing my glasses, I could not read the labels on any of them. However, I was not here to read bottles, but to take a shower, and so I disregarded the labels.

I turned on the shower, adjusted

the water temperature and began my shower. I reached for the nearest bottle, which I assumed was shampoo.

After dousing my hair with a generous portion, I began scrubbing my head. I noticed, however, no suds. I grabbed another bottle and repeated the procedure with the same results.

After using 17 bottles, I fi nally found one that produced suds.

I remember thinking to myself, what does my wife do with all these bottles in her shower that do not do anything? Nevertheless, in a moment I forgot the whole incident, stepped out of her shower and toweled off.

I made a cup of coffee and settled into my easy chair to watch a little television. As I sat there, I noticed a strange fragrance. This is the difference between men and women. A man enjoys strange smells. A woman, on the other hand, enjoys fragrant aromas.

I smelled a fragrant aroma with a strong tinge of fruit about it. It smelled as if someone had brought me a bowl of mixed of fruit. I knew for a fact, there was no fruit in the house, so this fruity

aroma puzzled me.I got up and walked

around the house looking for this bowl of fruit. No matter what room I was in, I could smell the fruit.

It was the strangest thing I ever experienced.

Finally, I went back to my easy chair and cup of coffee not knowing where these fruity fumes were coming from. Some mysteries are tough to solve.

Then something hit me right between the eyes. The fruity bouquet was coming from me! I took several healthy sniffs and discovered I smelled like a bowl of fruit. I could not understand this phenomenon. Then I remember the bottles in my wife’s shower.

I went back to investigate and discovered my wife had bottles of fruity concoctions of every variety.

A verse from the Bible came to mind. “But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifi ce acceptable, well pleasing to God.” (Philippians 4:18 KJV.)

The only fragrance worth dwelling on is a life well pleasing to God.
