BONIFAY — West Bonifay Baptist Church’s invitation to celebrate Ander Brown’s Wild Game, Fish and Fowl Dinner Friday was answered by hundreds in the community who came to participate in the event, which offered food and fellowship.

Once a year, Brown holds a game dinner at the church to promote his love of sportsmanship, hunting and fi shing, and invites everyone with a passion for the sport to join the free dinner. The

assortment of game for the dinner ranged from fi sh to fowl and was provided by Brown.

Most guests and family members said that Brown’s intentions are unmistakable; that his love of sportsmanship is only surpassed by his love for God, family and fellowship.

“I’d like to thank all those who put in so much hard work to help put this together, especially those who cooked,” Brown said. “You can’t go wrong with good food, good fellowship and the love of God.”

IN BRIEF Florida Department of Corrections

CARYVILLE — As of today, Wednes-day, Feb. 1, Caryville Work Camp is scheduled to close by mid-summer. As a result of declining prison ad-missions and excess bed space, the Florida Department of Corrections will be closing seven prisons and four work/forestry camps by July 1 as part of a statewide consolidation plan. No inmates will be released early as a result of this decision and there will remain adequate bed space to ac-commodate projected prison admis-sions, which have steadily decreased since FY 2007-08.

Those prisons being closed are Broward Correctional Institution in Ft. Lauderdale, Demilly CI in Polk City, Gainesville CI in Alachua Coun-ty, Hillsborough CI in Riverview, In-dian River CI in Vero Beach, Jef-ferson CI in Monticello and New River CI (both units) in Raiford. In addition, River Junction Work Camp in Chattahoochee, Caryville Work Camp, near the Northwest Florida Reception Center in Wash-ington County, Hendry Work Camp in Immokalee and Levy Forestry Camp near Lowell CI in Ocala will also be closed.

“Declining prison admissions

has led to a surplus of prison beds, allowing us to pare down our bud-get shortfall by consolidating and closing our older, less effi cient fa-cilities. We are committed to plac-ing as many affected staff as pos-sible in vacant positions for which they are qualifi ed,” said Secretary of Florida Department of Correc-tions Ken Tucker.

Inmates will be relocated to institutions with vacancies that meet their custody, profi le, health, education and risk assessment needs.

To determine which prisons and facilities would be affected, Tucker

assembled an internal workgroup of subject matter experts, who developed criteria for evaluating facilities based on several factors including: facility mission, cost per inmate, maintenance and con-struction costs, community and employee impact, inmate labor squads, security, education and programs and volunteers. These criteria were vetted through a vari-ety of public and private sector en-tities. The department employed quantitative measures to create an institutional scoring sheet to objectively measure the pros and cons for each institution.

State to close Caryville work camp

Holmes County Development Commission

A low existing industrial base, a large commuter population, re-silient manufacturing; All of the above may be the secret to this county’s lower-than-average un-employment rate. For whatever reason, Holmes County reported a December 2011 unemployment rate of 7.6 percent, about 2.3 per-cent lower than the state average and almost 1 percent lower than the national average.

Holmes County Economic De-velopment Commission executive director Jim Brook said he thinks that expanding existing industry might be a large part of the coun-ty’s good unemployment fi gure, along with a major expansion to one multi-national company with a presence in Bonifay.

LKQ, an automotive parts re-manufacturer and re-seller com-pleted an expansion of their Hol-mes County, facility in 2011 and created 21 new jobs. The existing

10,000 square foot facility was ex-panded by 20,000 square feet with a $1.3 million capital investment. “We were very fortunate that LKQ decided to expand the Bonifay fa-cility following a recent acquisition of a competing manufacturer and a re-shuffl ing of their processing and distribution strategy.

Coordinating with the Holmes County Planning Board and the Holmes County Board of County Commissioners, LKQ and the Hol-mes County Development Com-

mission worked with the local and corporate offi cials over several months preceding the expansion to navigate through land-use is-sues and the comprehensive plan to facilitate the project. “There was some question for a while if the company was going to shut-down or choose to expand here,” Brook said. “I believe a friendly planning board, a pro-jobs county commission and the enterprise

zone helped to give Hol-mes County the nod.” The county paved the unim-proved access road lead-ing to the facility.

Holmes County offers a Rural Enterprise Zone program that provides in-centives to industries that locate or expand in desig-nated regions within the county.

Expansion of other ex-isting industry has helped to sustain Holmes County during uncertain economic times. Situated within Hol-mes County is an econom-ic mini-cluster of precision metal parts and fabrica-tion shops that continue to experience sustained or increased sales and dem-onstrate overall growth despite national downward economic trends.

Each of these fi ve man-ufacturers, AUS Manu-facturing, Environmental Supply and Manufactur-ing, Holmes Tool and En-gineering, Johnson Laser Works and Man own Engi-neering, employ workers at higher than average wages (approximately $48,500), as compared to other non-government industries in the county. Each employs skilled machinists operat-ing advanced technology such as CNC (computer numerically controlled) mills, lathes, water jets, plasma and laser cut-ters and other highly au-tomated metal working machinery.

For example, through principles established by the company in its earlier years, now defi ned as lean manufacturing, and by leveraging talented ma-chinists, new technology and strict quality systems, minority-owned Man own Engineering has been able to expand its core competencies thereby dif-ferentiating itself from its competitors.

Holmes Tool, produc-ing high precision ma-chined parts and fabri-cated components for the power generating industry in its 20,000-square-foot machine and fabrication shop, is the second, larg-est employer in the county, just behind LKQ. AUS pro-duces “one-off” and spe-cialized production parts also for the utility industry as well as the military.

Environmental Sup-ply and Manufacturing has traditionally operated more production runs and supports more traditional manufacturers.

“All of the fabrication shops have, in the past or currently, supplied the mil-itary and military contrac-tors,” Brook said. “At least two of the shops export to foreign markets and participated in the SBA Hub Zone program.” The Hub Zone program has now “sunset” for Holmes County.

Johnson Laser, located outside the state-line com-munity of Esto, is a suppli-er to the larger fabrication shops. Brook said all of the companies, with the ex-ception of Johnson Laser, are located in the Rural Enterprise Zone. “These companies are a unique asset and, I believe, an op-portunity to attract ancil-lary business and indus-try.” For example, all of the companies have to ship their product out to a third party for heat-treating.

“Without exception, all of our industries oper-ate quietly, without a lot of fanfare and attention,” Brook said. “Our fabrica-tion micro-cluster does some amazing work and supplies quality product to large multinational companies as well as the military and the ever-im-portant energy industry.” These companies also of-fer relatively high wage jobs that require some computer training and manual competencies. “At least twice over the past twelve months, I have seen help wanted signs for CNC machine operators at the plants.”

Holmes County is a traditionally rural area lo-cated in northwest Florida along the state-line with Alabama. LKQ is an ex-ample of the logistics and distribution target market actively pursued by Holm-es County and other rural counties within Northwest Florida along Interstate 10. Holmes County boast the closest, undeveloped, interchange at I-10 lead-ing to the new, Northwest Florida Beaches Interna-tional Airport.

he Holmes County De-velopment Commission works under a memoran-dum of understanding as the designated local economic development organization charged with implementation of state programs with Enterprise Florida (EFI), is a mem-ber of Opportunity Florida and is a marketing partic-ipate with Florida’s Great Northwest.

PANAMA CITY — Catho-lic Charities of Northwest Florida has launched a new program to assist strug-gling veterans with a grant through the Department of Housing and Urban Develop-ment and Veterans Affairs.

The program, called VA Support Services for Vet-eran Families is a partner-ship between the VA, Fami-lies Count of Pensacola and Catholic Charities serving veterans in Bay, Calhoun, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, Oka-loosa, Walton and Washing-ton counties.

The goal of the program is to improve housing stabil-ity, to prevent at-risk families from becoming homeless and to provide supportive services to very low-income veterans and their families residing in or transitioning to permanent housing.

Through community outreach and intensive case management, Catholic Charities will educate and

assist participants to obtain military and civilian benefi ts such as housing counseling, health care services, daily living services, transporta-tion services, personal fi -nancial planning services and child care services, to name a few.

“This really is for ‘at-risk’ veterans,” said Catholic Charities regional director Diane Williams in Panama City.

Catholic Charities is the social ministry of the Catho-lic church in the 18-county region of Northwest Florida, whose mission is to serve vulnerable families.

By Gov. Rick Scott

We recently learned Florida’s unemployment rate decreased in December to 9.9 percent, down for the fourth straight month. That’s a 2.1-percent drop in points in a year. For the fi rst time in two-and-a-half years, Florida’s unemployment number is in single digits.

These numbers provide clear evidence Florida’s economy is moving in the right direction. But most importantly, these numbers mean Floridians who didn’t have jobs one year ago are now able to fi nd jobs. I am committed to working to make Florida the best place to start, grow or move a business so that every Floridian who wants a job has the opportunity to get to work.

As one of the nation’s leaders in job creation, Florida totaled 141,500 private-sector jobs last year. That’s almost 12,800 new jobs every month. In December alone, Florida added more than 5,000 private-sector jobs at a rate of more than 12 jobs for every job that was lost as local, state and federal governments trimmed their workforce in order to live within their means.

Florida’s lower unemployment rate is proof businesses, not governments, create jobs, and it is Floridians who

deserve the credit.With the help of

the Legislature, I am committed to making changes that continue moving Florida in the right direction. I am focused on streamlining government, removing barriers to job creation, eliminating burdensome regulations and keeping the cost of living as low for families and businesses.

There still is much work to be done. We must build on our success and ensure the short-term and long-term success of Florida’s businesses. Our achievements must serve as a platform for attracting new businesses to Florida from around the world.

I have no doubt Florida can be the No. 1 destination for global business. To achieve that goal, we must have the best educated workforce with the skills necessary to compete in our 21st century global economy. A good education is essential to getting a good job, so I have proposed adding $1 billion for K-12 education. This is the third largest amount of state funding for K-12 in the past decade.

To ensure we do not let the children of our state down, I will not sign any budget into law that does not contain signifi cantly more state dollars for education than we had last year. The Florida

House of Representatives shares my vision and has allocated more than $1 billion for education. I am grateful for their support for the young people of our state.

Another step that will make Florida a better place for business is to make sure we focus on the transportation projects that are best for Florida. Preparing Florida’s ports for increased trade from the expanded Panama Canal and free trade agreements will ensure Florida is a global trading hub and attract businesses to our state from across the world.

Florida already is the top tourist destination, and we are well on our way to being the leading place for business. We are making great progress in the Sunshine State, and I look forward to working closely with the Legislature to identify ways to ensure that every Floridian that wants a job, can get one.

I remain focused on three things: making sure Florida’s children can receive a good education, making sure that Floridians can fi nd a job and keeping the cost of living low in our state. Please share your ideas with me by emailing Rick.Scott@eog.myfl orida.com. Working together, we can get Florida back to work!

Things to remember

Learning of the death of my former teacher, Pauline Russ Baragona Cook Shores brought back memories of my school days. When I entered seventh grade at Vernon High School in the fall of 1943, I was still very much the skinny little kid from Brackin School who scarcely knew which big yellow bus to get on in the afternoons. Of course big brother Perry, older sister Minnie Lee, younger brothers Clyde and Max were also on the bus, so it wasn’t as big a deal for me as it was when our Brackin teacher resigned toward the end of the previous school year and Clyde, Max and I had to enroll at Vernon. That year I had Mrs. Bessie Alma Pippin who paddled kids every Friday who didn’t pass the

spelling test. I squeaked by without a paddling.

Seventh grade started with a substitute teacher for home room and science. When our teacher came several weeks after school’s opening, I was very much in awe of her as her appearance at school was delayed by the wartime death of her young husband and the birth of their child. I think I only had Mrs. Pauline Baragona for study hall in the 8th grade where I had “loosened up” quite a bit and loved to talk a lot and get out of my seat in the auditorium where we had study hall and go to the pencil sharpener so that I could wink at the older boys as I returned to my seat.

In the 9th grade, however, Miss Pauline was my biology teacher and my home economics teacher. I learned to outline as she taught how the plant and animal kingdoms are organized. I was a top student in that class, but although

I’d always had chores at home, especially in the kitchen, I was not a top student in home economics. In cooking, the fi rst thing we had to make was a salad. I found the easiest one, sunshine salad. All I had to do was place some lettuce on a salad plate, separate the slices of an orange or grapefruit, place them on top of the lettuce and drizzle with bottled French dressing. I was quite proud of my salad until Mrs. Baragona pointed out that I was supposed to section the orange. She explained that sectioning and separating weren’t the same thing.

Cooking classes got better, but sewing was a disaster. We had to do a unit on childcare and then make a baby garment by hand, including handmade

buttonholes. I still have that white batiste button-down- the- front baby gown on which my home economics teacher had the audacity to give my a “D” minus. I also remember the skirt we had to make. It had to have at least four gores and a zipper. Money was scarce and fabric was hard to fi nd in those post war years, so Mama bought me some navy and white print seersucker. I used someone’s 8-gore pattern in about a size 18, I think. It was so big, I had to keep taking up the seams; then we had to pink the seams with a hand-turned gadget called a pinking machine and I accidentally cut holes in the skirt. It was no big loss, however, because no one would have worn it to a dogfi ght.

With some help from my cousin Lenora I did

make one garment that I actually wore though it was far from perfect. It had a red cotton bodice with a red and white print feed sack skirt. A red ruffl e went around the front and came up to the waist in the back, sort of an apron effect. Never mind that the gathers weren’t even and the ruffl e was a little off center. You can’t spot fl aws in a prancing horse, according to my friend Lorna Raper.

The pedal sewing machine and I had a running battle. It wanted to go backward for some reason. Mrs. Cook, as Pauline had become by the tenth grade, said that it was because I talked instead of concentrating on making the pedal go in the right direction.

Mrs. Cook tried to offer us country kids a little culture. We had a formal “tea” to which our mothers were invited. I don’t remember getting a new dress myself, but I remember as if it were today what my Mama wore. She didn’t intend for the “town” ladies to look any better than she did. She had a new “little black dress” with a two-layered skirt, crepe trimmed in satin. Her hat was a knock out. Kind of a pillbox style black straw with pink and fuchsia silk fl owers. And

Gloves. Of course gloves. Pink gloves. We were proud of our “little fi ve foot tall” Mama.

I am sure that Mrs. Pauline Russ Baragona Cook never gave another thought to the grief that my cousin Loriene Cook Kosier and I gave her with our talking and giggling in class, and I know I never apologized. But having taught all of the grades, seven through 12, I was duly punished for any of my bad behavior. I also know that teachers don’t hold grudges. We are just happy to see former students and know that they have become self-supporting, law abiding citizens.

After the death of her husband, Tom Cook, she married Gene Shores and later retired. Even after all those years of teaching, Mrs. Pauline never stopped. She was honored last spring at the District Garden Club for 50 years service to the Vernon Garden Club. I was proud to be there and say that I was one of her former students. My 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Bessie Pippin Marshal, was also in attendance at that meeting. My thanks to both these ladies for the influence that you had on my life.

Dear Editor,I’m ashamed to be a card-carrying

member of the Republican Party. Are Romney and Gingrich the best we can put up as our nominee? Do we, as a party, really feel that the lesser of two evils is the best way to select a Presidential candidate? Our “debates” have deteriorated to an endless, pointless, barrage of mud-slinging; never any real detailed debate over issues. This really depresses me. Mr. O must be loving it, as he will have all the mud he needs when it comes to mud-slinging time in November.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

A year ago, I was managing editor of the Washington County Newspapers — not in Florida, but in Washington County, Ark. As of Monday, my job title became managing editor of the Washington County News and the Holmes County Times-Advertiser, but while the title is the same, my latitude changed quite a bit.

My wife and I packed up and moved to Chipley this past weekend so I could take the position as managing editor of Washington County News and Holmes County Times-Advertiser.

In a nutshell, I began my journalism career in high school, then after a stint in the Navy, I returned to Arkansas State University for my degree in journalism. I have worked as editor at weekly papers in Eureka Springs, Ark., Dumas, Ark., and of course in Washington County. The paper was in the city of Lincoln, population 2,100.

I began the process of moving to the tri-county area back before Christmas, but the holidays slowed down the process and I wasn’t able to see Chipley until early January when I flew down to visit. It was pretty much love at first sight for me, and I couldn’t wait until I was bringing my better half, Shannon, down to see this region.

I kept trying to come up with an Arkansas correlation, but there wasn’t really anything quite to match Chipley. To this newbie, the city has a quiet, beach-like charm

in the architecture and a grand sense of southern hospitality. Spanish moss and palm trees are the biggest tip-off I am not in Arkansas anymore.

Washington County, Ark., is home to the city of Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas, which of course is home to the Arkansas Razorbacks, which is the state’s No. 1 team. The Hogs did very well in the SEC this past season. My alma mater is Arkansas State University, however, which is in northeast Arkansas and is home to the Red Wolves, which play in the Sun Belt Conference.

Everyone I have met so far in my three-day residency here has been very gregarious — Sunday night we dined at KFC and I was impressed with one of the young ladies behind the counter who is planning a new career as a nurse, beginning her training this week at Washington-Holmes Technical Center.

I haven’t gotten to explore much of Holmes County yet, although I came down from

Montgomery via U.S. Highway 231, so I got to see much of the countryside. Still, I have yet to get to come meet many residents. If you see me out and about, feel free to stop and say hello. I am looking forward to meeting as many folks as I can and becoming a part of the community.

My philosophy on community newspapers such as ours is that the newspaper is the collective story of not only the city or the county government, but it’s the story of all of us, and I am looking forward to telling as many of our stories as possible.

Since I am new here, I am asking for your help in telling the tri-county story. Email me at rseyler@chipleypaper.com about your lives — I’m interested in everything. Jobs, hobbies, churches and church happenings, county history — If you think it should be in the paper, drop me a note or give me a call 638-0212.

I’m looking forward to reading, and writing, about you.

Personal property crimes are some of the most frequently reported crimes both locally and nationwide during this time of yet.

I am sure that Mrs. Pauline Russ Baragona Cook never gave another thought to the grief that my cousin Loriene Cook Kosier and I gave her

with our talking and giggling in class, and I know I never apologized. But

having taught all of the grades, seven through 12, I was duly punished for

any of my bad behavior.

Laurence Paul Cutts’ fa-ther was a beekeeper, so it came as a natural progres-sion that he would follow in his father’s footsteps. At 16, Cutts began raising queens to sell. This grew into a business in which he produced and sold honey and provided bees for pol-lination for various crops in Florida, Alabama and Geor-gia. He worked in this busi-ness until 1985, when he accepted a posi-tion with the state of Florida overseeing the state’s apiary inspections.

During his employment with the state, the varroa mite and small hive beetle were creating major problems for beekeepers throughout the state. Laurence was instrumental in bringing the need for research to reduce beehive losses to the forefront. Throughout his tenure with the state, he was always ac-

cessible to both commercial and independent beekeep-ers with unlimited advice and direction. A commercial beekeeper with more than 8,000 hives once remarked that without Cutts, he would have lost everything.

He recently invented and is marketing a new beetle trap through various bee sup-ply companies in the United States. This trap promises to be a better deterrent for the small hive beetle.

Laurence was known as a leader in the state’s beekeeping industry and as such was a much sought-after speaker and teacher. Because of his leadership, determination and experience, Florida remains a leader in agricultural pro-duction. Without honey bees pollinating Florida crops, this state would be un-able to produce the quantity and quality of various agricultural products it does today.

Can you believe it? Spanish mackerel in January? Most every year in March everyone goes to bed like a kid excitingly waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas Day, except in this case these fi shermen are waiting for the spring run of Spanish mackerel.

This year the wait was over sort of early. A whole two months to be exact. On both big piers, the city and M.B. Miller, Spanish

mackerel were caught this past week. I wouldn’t put too much stock in the fact it appears they have arrived early this year, because they are just holdovers

from last year. If we ever get some cold weather it will drive down the water temperature and they will be as hard to fi nd as your brother-in-law who owes you money.

Another fi sh that is a holdover from last year is the pompano. They have been catching pompano off the beaches all winter. These pompano aren’t the biggest ones I have seen, but you should not have to measure them.

When Phillips Inlet opened recently thousands of juvenile pompano emptied into the Gulf. I’m sure some of the pompano being caught are some of those. These pompano have been trapped in the inlet since summer waiting to get back to the Gulf.

The old reliable whiting also are biting in certain spots on the beach including the cement piers. Redfi sh seem to come and go as they please and a few are being caught when they pass under the piers.

I have noticed that normally a redfi sh caught from a boat has to be more than 18 inches and under 27 inches. Not so it seems if caught off the beach. If it can fi t in the cooler or even if it can’t it never seems to fi nd its way back to the water. At least not with the crew fi shing down my way.

Another fi sh that is being caught and seen under the piers is sheepshead, another March fi sh. They also are caught beginning in March when they come to spawn around the jetties and wrecks in shallow water. I know the Gulf is warm for January, but water temperature is not the only factor that pushes these fi sh to spawn. The length of the day or amount of sunlight also is an indicator.

If you are tired of sitting in the woods and not seeing a deer, pick up the rod go fi shing. At least until it turns cold again.

Whitetail deer were once rare in the state but not anymore. Hunters are able to be more selective in which deer to remove from the herd.

By Stan KirklandFWC

Deer hunters love to reminisce about past hunting seasons and big deer — some that got away and others that now adorn their walls. What hunters new to the sport might not realize is how much deer hunting has changed, particularly in Florida, over the past three to four decades.

Going back even further, white-tailed deer were practically eliminated from Florida in the early 1900s because of over exploitation, eradication efforts in South Florida associated with the cattle fever tick, and losses to the screwworm. It wasn’t until the ’50s and ’60s that deer were stocked by the then-Game and Freshwater Fish Commission in various places and deer populations began to rebuild. This also was aided by increased enforcement of game laws.

When deer hunting seasons resumed in the ’50s and ’60s, most hunters hunted deer the only way anyone in the South knew how — with hounds. They used mostly walker hounds and sometimes beagles.

Every hunter wanted dogs with a “good nose,” dogs that would “cold trail” and bark when the deer jumped. If all went according to plan, the deer

ran by members of the hunting party on “stand.” They shot at the bucks and the does went by untouched. At least that was the plan.

When Florida’s human population was relatively low in the 1960s and ’70s, deer dog incursions on private property were infrequent enough that deer dog hunting continued unabated.

The ’80s and ’90s however, brought change. As Florida’s population increased and more and more people moved to rural areas, complaints about deer dog hunting increased.

In response, the GFC prohibited the hunting groups from taking stands on most roads across the state, whether they were county-maintained dirt roads or paved highways. Beginning in 2005, hunting parties were required to register their hunting lands with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, a move to show the landowner was okay with deer dog hunting on their property.

The changes in deer dog hunting in Florida and other Southern states loosely corresponded to an upsurge in deer still-hunting. Still-hunting usually involved a hunter in a tree stand or in a ground blind waiting for a deer to pass.

Today, deer dog hunting is still alive and well on private lands, albeit not to the extent as years past, and on public

areas managed by the FWC. However, the majority of deer hunters now are still-hunters.

Every outdoors TV program about deer hunting features still-hunting. At the same time, hunters and landowners today are more interested in managing their deer. They’ve learned they can generally support so many deer on the property and they work with the FWC to remove both does and mature bucks.

The proof that deer management is working in Florida is the incredible number of above-average bucks measured for the Florida Buck Registry.

Gallagher’s Gymnas-tics men’s team recently competed at the O Zone Invitational in Knoxville, Tenn., while the women’s team was in Tallahassee and PCB Elite cheerlead-ers performed in Daytona Beach.

In Knoxville, at the largest men’s gymnastics invitational in the South-east, Andrew Hess led the way in Level 8 captur-ing fi rst place in the fl oor, rings and parallel bars. His efforts catapulted him into a fi rst-place fi nish in the all-around.

In Level 9, 13-year-old Paxton Peacock placed fi rst on rings and earned second on pommel horse and parallel bars to win all-around in the age 12-13 group. Peacock had

the highest all-around score of Level 9 athletes, a total of 49 boys in all age groups.

In Level 10, the highest Junior Olympic level, Al-exander Hess was fourth on pommel horse and sixth on vault. The Arnold sophomore placed 14th all-around.

Level 6 gymnast Trent Bawcom placed fi fth on fl oor and rings and 10th all-around. In the older age group, Cameron Nagy was seventh on fl oor and 10th all-around.

Gallagher’s Level 5 team of Cole Nagy, Alex Creswell, Eli Creswell and Austin Smith placed sixth in a fi eld of 13. Smith placed fi fth on pommel horse, third on rings and seventh all-around. Eli Creswell was second on horse and ninth all-around and Alex

Creswell sixth on both vault and parallel bars.

In Tallahassee, Nadya Parsons, Eliza Sims, Ma-dalyn Ward, Grace An-

des and Lena Ottinger competed in their fi rst competition.

In Level 4, Ottinger was fi fth on balance beam. Also competing in the AAU State Qualifi er, Level 4 gymnast Sydney Mel-vin was second on vault, beam, fl oor and all-around. In Level 5, Kirsten Bjerk-eset was second on beam. Ammy Castillo and Aliza Molnar competed in their fi rst Level 7 meet. Molnar fi nished second on beam and all-around and third on vault, bars and fl oor. Castillo won the bars title.

At “The State” hosted by American Championships in Daytona, Gallagher’s competitive cheer team, PCB Elite, took sixth out of more than 100 teams. It will compete in the Na-tional Championships in March in Orlando.

PONCE DE LEON — Tim Al-ford, as should be expected, saw signs for concern long before his players did.

Now in his 17th sea-son coaching the Ponce de Leon girls basketball team, Alford watched his players head into the holi-day break with a 14-0 re-cord. Two stunning losses at a tournament in Free-port in late December, however, stripped away a layer of overconfi dence that Alford’s players now readily admit was hinder-ing the team.

“You can tell there is a big difference between the beginning of the year and where we are now,” senior point guard Kate Carroll said. “Those two losses during Christmas break got our attention.”

The Pirates haven’t lost since, rolling up a 21-2 re-cord this season, including a 10-0 run through District 3-1A.

“Everything was dif-ferent,” junior Jordan Thomas said of bouncing back from losses against Cookeville (Tenn.) and Paxton. “You could tell a whole lot changed. We were all on the same page, and it’s easier playing that way.

“You could watch our tapes (early in the season), and you could tell our de-fense was getting worse. Defense is our main prior-ity. Like coach Alford said, ‘Defense never lets you down. Our shots will fall.’”

If PDL advances out of the District 3-1A tourna-ment set to begin on Mon-day in Cottondale, it will extend a streak of seven consecutive years that the Pirates have reached re-gional play in the postsea-son. Since the 2004-05 sea-son, PDL has qualifi ed for two state semifi nals, one regional fi nal, three re-gional semifi nals and one regional quarterfi nal.

Ask Alford’s players about that string of success and they’ll give you myriad answers that all fi nd their way back to the same cen-tral fi gure: Tim Alford.

Two key fi gures on this year’s Pirates team, Thomas and fellow junior Ashley Harper, once had reasons not to play basket-ball for Alford. That was before they got to know him, of course.

“Coach Alford, I con-sider him one of my best friends,” said Thomas, who lives minutes away from Walton High in De-Funiak Springs but makes the daily trip for school at PDL. “I can talk to him about anything.”

Harper’s older sister, Hillary, capped her own remarkable career in a Pirates uniform last year. Growing up behind her, Ashley was cognizant that expectations consequently would be higher for her, too.

“It felt like I was fol-lowing in her footsteps,” Harper said. “I didn’t want to play basketball because of that. I didn’t want to be compared to her.”

Harper said she changed her tune after she saw how Hillary interacted with Alford on and off the court. Alford’s infl uence

was a positive one, and Harper decided she would try to carve her own path on the basketball court at PDL.

“He’s always on me about being lazy or not doing something right,” Harper said behind a smile and a laugh. “He didn’t take it easy on me.”

Alford has benefi ted from Ponce de Leon’s long-standing merger of the town’s middle school and high school. He knows what sort of player he has coming down the pipeline as much as three years before that player has entered her fi rst varsity game.

“I’m fortunate they’re on our campus in sixth grade,” Alford said. “Ev-erything they do in middle school is leading up to what will eventually hap-pen (on varsity). It’s not as advanced, but the things we want them to know, they get early.”

Jazz Flock, a 6-foot senior who can play in the post and step out and knock down shots from the perimeter, arrived at PDL in eighth grade. An Indi-ana native, Flock joined Carroll as ninth-graders on the Pirates’ varsity squad.

“He calls it out,” Flock said, “and we know exactly what to do.”

Flock’s all-around game gives the Pirates options on offense that most oth-er Class 1A schools can’t duplicate. She can back down smaller players into the post, and she can take taller, slower players out-side, where she can hoist a jumper or take her de-fender off the dribble.

Flock’s emergence as a go-to player offensively was made more impor-tant when the team’s ex-pected starter at shooting guard, Jaicee Mayo, tore a knee ligament in the fi nal practice before the sea-son began. Carroll also is a stabilizing force on the fl oor, offering a wheelbar-row full of experience and leadership.

“It’s a big obligation,” Carroll said of living up to the program’s past suc-cess, which includes two state titles. “Defi nitely expectations are always high. But it’s not just the pressure of the past we put on ourselves. It’s this year, too.”

The Pirates are hopeful they will get another shot at Paxton, which plays in District 1-1A and beat PDL 49-36 on Dec. 30. If those teams do square off again, they’ll meet in the Class 1A state semifi nals with a berth in the championship game at stake.

The Pirates, as they learned once (or twice) from their two defeats, are aware that considerable work remains before that opportunity potentially presents itself.

“Before we lost we thought we could get by with anything,” Harper said. “We went out there thinking we had it. When we got beat we realized we have to start working hard. It’s been tough, but it’s been worth it.”

Added Carroll: “I can’t say for sure where we’re going. ... But we’ll work for it every day.”

Danica Sue Patrick, better known to NASCAR fans as simply Danica, was born on March 25, 1982, in Beloit, WI. She now lives in Phoenix, Ariz., with her husband. Even though she is not the only woman to have been in NASCAR she is one of the few. The fi rst was Louise Smith which won more than 30 races in the 1940’a. Danica started her career at the age of 10 Kart Racing. She was the fi rst woman to lead at the Indy 500 in 2009. Danica will be running 10 races in the #10 car in the Sprint Cup Series for Stewart-Hess Racing, and fulltime in the #7 Go Daddy car for JR Motor Sports. Patrick has announced that she will be taking a year off from the Indy 500 so she will be able to race in the Coke 400 the two races are being run on the same day. In her personal life she says she will drive anything “fast and black,” but she dose her errands in a Acura MDX. Danica’s hobbies are working out, traveling, nice dinners and laughing. Danica says her most memorable moment was leading the Indy 500.

Next week I will be doing Cathrine’s Pit Stop on the history of NASCAR.

winter stats

By PAT McCANNSports Editor | pmccann@pcnh.com747-5068 | Twitter: @patmccann

Nobody wants to enter a tournament feeling like they’re playing for second place. Three schools in next week’s District 2-3A boys soccer pairing at Arnold couldn’t be blamed for adopting that mantra.

Choctawhatchee, last year’s state runner-up in Class 4A, is the overwhelm-ing favorite in the four-school district that begins on Tuesday. The Indians were cruising along at 17-2 late last week while Arnold was 4-11-4 and Rutherford 3-7-3.

The fact the host Marlins edged the Rams in a recent game dropped Rutherford to the No. 4 seed and a first-round collision with Choc-tawhatchee. Arnold faces Milton, 4-12-0.

“Choctaw, who took sec-ond place in their 4A state run last year, look unstop-pable now that they have been dropped into 3A play.” Arnold coach Rick Sylvester said. “There is no question — Choctaw is, far and away the best team in the district and maybe in North Florida. Rutherford has a daunting task meeting them in their opening game.”

The Marlins have strug-gled through their worst season in Sylvester’s nine years guiding the program.

“Having faced a great deal of adversity this year, and sporting the worst record since I have been coaching here, we are cling-ing to the hope that we can beat Milton and somehow make a go of it in the final,” Sylvester said. “With very limited forces left after a long season of attrition, the odds are certainly against

us, but we are hoping that we can make the best of our beautiful facility and put on a respectable show at home.”

Bay fashioned a 10-0-0 district record to earn the first seed in District 1-2A, that tournament at Walton in DeFuniak Springs. Tor-nadoes coach Ron Houpt

knows that anything can happen in the playoffs wit-nessed by his team’s deep run last winter.

Bay, 13-6-3, by far looks like the best bet on paper to advance of any county squad.

“This district tourna-ment has had many sur-prises in the past,” Houpt

said. “We will focus on not letting that happen to us. We will play one game at a time and treat it as the most important game we will play this year. Actually it will be.

“We started off slowly this year and have made adjustments in the last month and are now ready to make a playoff run. We have had many injuries during the season, but now seem to all be healthy.”

Mosley, 10-6-1, lost a tie-breaker with Lincoln for the No. 3 seed in 2-4A which could become pivotal as it knocked the Dolphins into Monday’s play-in game. The ramifications were made more severe by the winner of that game advancing to meet top-seeded Chiles in one of Wednesday’s semi-finals. Leon and Lincoln meet in the other.

“It’s a tough road to advance because we will face Chiles in the semi, who defeated us three times during the season,” Mosley coach Dave Ska-kal said. “If, however, we can beat Columbia for the fourth time we are optimis-tic because we played very well against Chiles the last time we saw them. Any-thing is possible in a district tournament.”

Port St. Joe posted a 4-1-1 record during the regular season against 1-1A opponents, with a pair of lopsided victories against f irst-round opponent Freeport. The top-seeded Tiger Sharks are 13-2-1 overall.

“We will be entering dis-tricts this year with a confi-dent, but cautious nature,” coach Gary Hindley said. “We got a bit out of sorts during the holiday break, but our last several regular-season games were back on track.”

Mosley’s Grant named to Ray Guy Prokicker.com All-American teamThe News herald

LYNN hAVeN — Mark Grant of Mosley was among the inaugu-ral Ray Guy Prokicker.com High School All-Americans for some of the nation’s top punting, kick-ing, kickoff and long-snapping prospects.

Players were selected from the Prokicker.com staff, which

w a t c h e d a n d coached the play-ers during camps, and also by how the players performed on the field during the 2011 high school season.

There were four All-America cat-egories — punting,

kicking, long-snapping and kick-off specialist. Grant was named honorable mention in the kick-off specialist category. He had 32 touchbacks among 42 kickoffs for the Dolphins, and an average

of 64.3 yards per kickoff. Grant also had 36 points on four field goals and 24 extra points.

On Tuesday, Jan. 17, the Yellow Jacket Battalion loaded the bus and headed to Mobile, Ala. This fi eld trip was both educational and enjoyable. Select cadets were chosen to attend the adventure and were asked to take notes on all the historical facts that they passed by on their tour of the ship.

The U.S.S. Alabama was built in 1940. The ship, from stem to stern, is 680 feet long and 108 feet wide. The guns were 16 inches in diameter and shoot a 2,700 pound projectile loaded with 900 pounds of gun powder. The ship itself was a

small city; containing doctors offi ces, dentist offi ces, a Brig, isolation room, laundry room, chow hall, Ice Cream Parlor, Bakery and of course, a sick bay. In addition, we boarded the U.S.S. Drum, the submarine on display with the ship. On board the submarine, there was barely any space to move around. Every inch of the walls was covered in dials, levers, switches and tubes.

All in all, the fi eld trip was an amazing experience. The cadets in attendance had a great time and learned a lot. Maj. Kuneman said the ship is, “incredible, and you just have to go see it to believe it.”

TALLAHASSEE (AP) — U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland says he will file a bill in Congress that would put pressure on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to adopt state rather than federal water pollution rules for Florida.

The Panama City Republican an-nounced his plans Monday on the steps of Florida’s old Capitol.

The legislation would prohibit the EPA from adopting its own rules for Florida if the agency administrator determines state rules meet require-ments of the federal Water Pollution Control Act. It would not affect other states.

“Our bill reinforces the biparti-san work being accomplished in the Florida Legislature to ensure that no one has greater control in determin-ing the health of our waterways than ourselves,” Southerland said.

Environmentalists contend the state’s proposed rules setting numer-ic nutrient standards for phospho-rous and nitrogen in lakes, streams and other water bodies would be too weak to prevent or clean up toxic algae choking Florida’s waterways. The nutrients are contained in such pollutants as sewage, manure and fertilizer.

Agriculture, business and util-ity interests back the state’s ver-sion. They contend the tougher fed-eral rules would be too expensive to implement.

“We are not trying to reduce or to undermine the requirements in the Clean Water Act,” Southerland said. “We’re just saying when we meet those standards, acknowledge those standards and do not single us out for a stiffer standard that does not apply to the other 49 states.”

A nonbinding provision in the pro-

posed legislation also would express the “sense of Congress” that the EPA should take into account the econom-ic effect of numeric nutrient criteria when deciding which set of rules to adopt. That includes not promulgat-ing or enforcing any criteria “that would result in a negative economic impact of 15 percent on any such sector.”

The legislation might be too late to affect the EPA’s decision on rules for inland waters, which is expected by March. The agency, though, says it may agree to another delay if the state needs more time to imple-ment the rules. The implementation date already has been delayed for 15 months.

The EPA also is developing sepa-rate rules for coastal areas. They currently are scheduled for adoption in November.

Southerland to fi le water pollution bill

“We are not trying to reduce or to undermine the requirements in the Clean Water Act. We’re

just saying when we meet those standards,

acknowledge those standards and do not

single us out for a stiffer standard that does not apply to the other 49

states.”

During the Washington County Firefi ghters’ Appreciation Ban-quet on Thursday, Jan. 26 Brian Goddin, Wildfi re Mitigation Spe-cialist/Public Information Offi -cer for Holmes and Washington County introduced everyone to the Ready, Set, Go program be-ing introduced to the surrounding counties.

“Ready, Set, Go! Is a program that prepares citizens in the event of a wildland fi re,” said Godden. “We are here to provide the tools needed to educate others so we can all be more prepared for when a wildland fi re strikes.”

Ready, Set, Go is coming

More on Ready, Set, Go!

Right: Brian Goddin, Wildfi re Mitigation Specialist/Public Information Offi cer for Holmes and Washington County introduced everyone to the Ready, Set, Go program scheduled for introduction to the surrounding counties.

CECILIA SPEARS

The Ready, Set, Go! Program seeks to develop and improve the dialogue between fi re departments and the residents they serve. Engaging in this dialogue is particularly important for the fi re service, because national studies have shown that fi refi ghters are uniquely respected in their communities and can project a trusted voice to the public preparedness appeal. They can also explain what fi re resources are available during an event and the role that individuals can play in preparedness and early evacuation — if called for by their local offi cials — to increase the safety of residents and responding fi refi ghters to a wildland fi re.

The RSG Program works in complimentary and collaborative fashion with Firewise and other existing wildland fi re public education efforts. It amplifi es their preparedness messages to individuals to better achieve the common goal we all share of fi re-adapted communities. When fi refi ghters encourage residents to take personal responsibility for preparing their property and family for WUI/wildland fi re, residents become an active part of the solution to the problem of increasing fi re losses.

Ready – Preparing for the Fire Threat: Be Ready, Be Fire-wise. Take personal

responsibility and prepare long before the threat of a wildfire so your home is ready in case of a fire. Create defensible space by clearing brush away from your home. Use fire-resis-tant landscaping and hard-en your home with fire-safe construction measures. Assemble emergency sup-plies and belongings in a safe spot. Make sure all residents residing within the home are on the same page, plan escape routes. For more information about how to be Ready for wild-land fires, go to Firewise.org

Set – Situational Awareness When a Fire Starts: Pack your vehicle with

your emergency items. Stay aware of the latest news from local media and your local fire department for updated information on the fire.

Go – Leave early! Following your Ac-tion Plan makes you prepared and

firefighters are now able to best maneuver the wild-fire, ensuring you and your family’s safety.

Be Ready!

Be Set!

Go!

Following your Action Plan makes you prepared and fi refi ghters are now able to best maneuver the wildfi re, ensuring you and your family’s safety.

CHIPLEY — The Glenn Miller Orchestra will be making a concert stop in Chipley in February. Through a special arrangement by Dr. James Clemmons and the Chipley High Band Boosters, the band will be in concert Feb. 7 at the CHS Auditorium on Brickyard Road.

The legendary Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all the dance bandleaders in the swing era of the 1930s and ’40s. A matchless string of hit records, the constant effects of radio broadcasts and the drawing power at theaters, hotels and dance pavilions built and sustained the momentum of popularity for Glenn Miller.

Tickets for the Feb. 7 concert at Chipley High School are $20 for adults and $15 for students and can be purchased from any CHS Band Booster or through the CHS Band offi ce at 638-6100, ext. 525. All seats will be reserved for this 7 p.m. concert in the CHS Auditorium in the center of the campus on Brickyard Road in Chipley. Proceeds from the event will go to the Chipley Band Boosters, whose mission is to support the band program at CHS.

President Thomas A. Kinchen offered an inspirational start to the spring semester chapel services at The Baptist College of Florida (BCF) in Graceville on Monday, Jan. 16, with his chapel series entitled “The After Christmas Specials.”

Kinchen welcomed new BCF students, recognized the Lady Eagles volleyball team for their outstanding season, and began the Monday morning chapel service by asking the question, “After Christmas, the presents, wrapping, and decorations, where do you fi nd Jesus?” Referencing the book of Luke, Kinchen read the account of a young Jesus missing from His family. After searching, He was found in the temple listening and speaking with the teachers. Where was Jesus? He was about His Father’s work.

“Folks today are frantically searching for Jesus,” Kinchen said. “It’s pretty easy to fi nd Him. Just go where God’s work is being done, where His word is being proclaimed in truth, and where God’s people are worshipping, working, and ministering.” BCF

students and faculty were reminded not to misplace Jesus in the chaotic holiday season and in their everyday lives.

Tuesday’s chapel service continued with Kinchen illustrating the typical “hinting season” of Christmas. For example,

people spend months before Christmas hinting to others what they are hoping to receive as gifts. Many times though,

people aren’t satisfi ed with their presents. It may not fi t or doesn’t work exactly how they planned.

Kinchen also observed that around Christmas time, Christians are adamant about wanting to keep Christ in Christmas. “But do they really want Him? It’s okay if He’s a little plastic Jesus. It’s okay if He’s warmed by a little 20-watt light bulb in a convenient cardboard manger with some imported hay. That’s okay. He doesn’t bother us much there, does He? It’s even okay if He’s the little ‘lost’ boy in the temple, or a healing Savior, touching those in desperate need. But do we really want Christ in Christmas when He’s cleansing the temple and we know there are dirty places in our lives? Do we really want Him interrupting our plans?”

Kinchen closed the chapel packed series Wednesday by reading from the book of Micah and focusing on the familiar topic of re-gifting.

“How many people have been re-gifting Jesus?” Kinchen asked. “Our Lord does not deserve re-gifting in our lives or in our worship.”

Recorded versions of all of the chapel sermons are available at wfbu.com.

Bethlehem’s 2012 Homecoming festivities began at 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21, with the presentation of the middle school prince and princess nominees. Eighth grade nominees were: Josie Dampier, Kelsey Enfi nger, Harlie Peters and Stevie Spivey for princess; Caleb Brannon, Dakota Potter, Mason Wallace and Brandon Wilson for prince. Kelsey Enfi nger and Mason Wallace were crowned princess and prince.

The high school Homecoming Court was then presented. Of the fi ve nominees for queen, senior Kaylin Griffi n was crowned 2012 Homecoming Queen, and Devin Miller was crowned Homecoming King.

Special recognition was afforded several people during this year’s Homecoming celebration. Sheila Richards introduced everyone to Kaylee Barton. Kaylee, who has proximal femoral focal defi ciency, will be undergoing several surgeries in the future. She is the recipient of a very successful fundraiser

“A Walk for Kaylee” that Bethlehem’s FCCLA sponsored. Kaylee and her family said they were appreciative of the support shown by the school and community. Wanda Pope was presented an iPad for her efforts in the fundraising event.

Bethlehem’s athletic department presented letterman’s jackets to Assistant Principal Donald Dady and former coach/principal Jerry Dixon for their unswerving dedication to BHS athletic programs. Dixon commented that in all of his years of both playing ball and coaching, this was the fi rst letterman’s jacket he ever had.

The night’s honored guest was Jackie Benton, former Bethlehem teacher. Benton is a life-long native of Holmes County. She attended Bethlehem High from fi rst through 11th grade and then transferred to Holmes County High School to take business courses, graduating with honors in 1956.

Benton’s family has seen four generations

walk through the halls of Bethlehem. Her father, Valton Coates, was a member of Bethlehem’s fi rst graduating class in 1932, and her grandchildren currently attend.

Beginning her career at BHS at age 33, Benton taught second grade for two years, then moved to third grade for many years before winding up in pre-Kindergarten, retiring in 2001.

During her tenure, she served as cheerleading sponsor and Pep Club sponsor from 1973-1977. She then gave up coaching to watch her own children cheer and play ball. Her daughter Sheila (who now teaches at BHS) commented, “I cannot remember a basketball or softball game that she didn’t attend as long as I played.” Benton said she has always been a Wildcat at heart and showed it with her school spirit.

Many of Mrs. Benton’s students recall the sleepovers and Easter egg hunts held at her home. She welcomed students

as though they were her own children — with a warm, beautiful smile and a loving heart. She never hesitated to read the Bible and Bible stories to her students. Many times, someone passing by her classroom would see her in a rocking chair, sharing God’s Word with her students gathered around her.

Mrs. Jackie Benton has sacrifi ced many hours for the sake of her students and family. She truly is the example of a “teacher” in every sense of the word and will remain in the memories of countless Bethlehem graduates for decades to come.

Between the varsity games, alumni from the classes of 1942, 1952, 1962, 1972, 1982, 1992 and 2002 were recognized. The class of 1992 presented a marble bench in front of the school in memory of classmates who had passed away, Christy Wilkerson and Chris Yancey. Class members also presented Christy’s and Chris’s families with plaques.

The First Amendment of our Constitution says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of

the people peaceable to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Please do me a favor and read this First Amendment at least fi ve times and then tell me why our government has for over 68 years been

protecting and spending tons of money to spread the religions of Atheism and Agnosticism?

For clarifi cation, an Agnostic is a person who believes that nothing is known about the existence of God or about things outside the human experience. An Atheist believes there is no God. Now back to the reason for the question. For over 68 years, if not much longer, our government has promoted and protected this religion through our government school system, and some have twisted the words of our First Amendment to protect it. You see, “Evolution” and the “Big Bang Theory” have been taught in the science classes of our public schools all these years and our children have even been tested to make sure they understand this religion which was imagined in the mind of George Waterhouse Darwin, who was a racist and by his theory an atheist. Then, Thomas Huxley, an agnostic, advanced the acceptance of evolution

among scientists and the public alike, even though there is no science or

scientifi c proof for any of it.

That’s right, no scientifi c proof! I believe a real scientist would actually laugh in the face of Darwin if he presented it in the world we live in today. So, why do our school boards continue to waste

money purchasing books, and paying teachers to teach non-truths, that they themselves are not comfortable with? And why have museums wasted money to create the Nebraska man, which is supposed to be the link between man and monkey. When in actuality, the person who fi rst drew the Nebraska man drew him from one small tooth, which was later found to be the jawbone of a wild pig.

If I could take a 5,000 piece jigsaw puzzle and throw it into a category three hurricane and when it landed it was all together and matted, I might think that it was worth taking our children’s valuable learning time to teach the possibilities of this ridiculous theory, that they

might question whether there was a God or not. NOT!!! Because you and I both know, even if we did this experiment one-million times, not even two pieces would come together. So the truth of the matter is; it takes more faith to believe that this great universe just came together without a creator, than it does to believe that there is a God.

To my understanding of things, since evolution is not a science and it is based on the beliefs of one person, it is a religion. A religion according to the subtitle of his “Origin” was “The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life.” The question you can simply ask is, who do you think Darwin tagged as the “Unfavored races?” So my question is; why is the ACLU and others so interested in preserving a religion, sponsored by our government, which is against the Constitution, and is racialist? And why are they afraid to share another view? After all, evolution is only a theory. Are they afraid that their religion of choice would not be accepted anymore, because it cannot pass the test of human questioning?

The simple answer to all

of these questions comes from the Bible which says, “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thes. 2:9-12 KJV).

Anonymous Acts of KindnessIt is only natural for us to want to be recognized for our good deeds; however there is undoubtedly some-thing even better in doing the occasional secret good deed. An anonymous act of kindness actually benefits both the giver and the receiver more than the gift of kindness that is performed with full recognition of who did it. The doer of a secret good deed will feel that there is something purer in their motive because they are not doing it to receive thanks or recognition, and this feeling is likely to raise the doer’s self-es-teem. In addition, the person who receives the anony-mous gift or act of kindness is likely to feel that the world is a kinder, friendlier place, with people out there whom they don’t even know doing good deeds.There are lots of ways we can do a secret good deed. For example, paying the toll for the person behind us, or buying the couple’s tickets behind us in line at the movie theater. Other ideas may include putting money in expired meters, leaving some food or a gift for someone at work, or perhaps leaving a plate of “goodies” in someone’s desk who we know won’t have time to go out for lunch. We should be creative and even have some fun while figuring out ways to do a secret good deed. There is really no end to the anonymous acts of kindness we can do, and it really will make us and the recipient feel great.

The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself.

Faith EVENTS

By Rev. James L. Snyder

I am rather old-fashioned in some areas of my life, which I do not intend to upgrade to current standards. I do not believe in changing something unless it really needs to be changed. A crazy phobia is going around these days suggesting that if something is old, it must not be any good and if it is new, it must be good.

I think old Solomon was right when he said, “there is no new thing under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9 KJV).

So, I am never intimidated by some new gizmo or gadget that comes down the line. One of the things I have no intention of upgrading is in the area of giving credit. I believe in giving credit where credit is due. After all, I need all the credit I can get these days.

If somebody does something that blesses

me, I am beholden to give them their due credit. I am under the opinion that if I give enough people enough credit that one day I just may be able to cash in.

This all came to me this past week when I had my visit to the dentist. I make it a rule to visit my dentist once a decade whether I need to or not. The thing that spurred my visit to the dentist this time was one of my fi llings had fallen out. Actually, I am assuming it fell out because where it used to be was a hole in my tooth. Upon pondering the situation to its logical conclusion, I must have eaten my fi lling.

This dental hygienic situation brought me to my latest visit with my dental hygienist. While I was there, I thought I would save time, if not money, and have my teeth cleaned. Every decade I like to have my teeth cleaned. According to my

dentist’s records, the last time I had my teeth cleaned was 13 years ago. So, it is time.

Because it was so long since my last visit with the dentist, he insisted on taking pictures of all my teeth. I hope to get copies so I can post it on my Facebook. After all, what would my Facebook be without pictures of teeth?

I had forgotten the whole procedure of dental photography. It took an entire hour to photograph all my teeth one at a time. During the sixty minutes of my photography shoot, I had to keep my mouth open. I have never had my mouth open for so long in all my life.

The upshot of my visit with the dentist was I had a clean bill of health regarding my teeth and gums. I must have been doing something right to have such healthy teeth

and gums for a person my age.

When the dentist said “a person my age,” I was not sure if he was insulting me or congratulating me for good health. Being the gentleman that I am, I took the latter.

“I don’t know what you’re doing,” the dentist said cheerfully as I left his offi ce, “just keep it up.” With that, I left the dentist offi ce.

I thought a lot about what he said and I have come to a major conclusion. I like giving credit where credit is due, so I had to think long and hard about whom to credit for my good dental health.

Certainly, I could congratulate the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage on her superb dietary work in the kitchen. Without doubt, it pays to eat the right food if you are going to have good health. But I

think it goes much further than this.

What am I doing to credit such a good dental health report?

Then it came to me.Have you ever given

serious thought about something for so long, you seem to be getting nowhere, and then all of a sudden, it hits you?

I know what I can credit my excellent dental health to. Apple Fritters. That is right. The reason I have good teeth and good gums is because of a consistent diet of Apple Fritters. After all, everybody knows the main ingredient of an Apple Fritter is an Apple. There is nothing better for a person than an Apple.

Where the Fritter comes in is very simple. The Fritter part of an Apple Fritter is the means by which my body can assimilate the nutritional aspects of the Apple. The

Fritter facilitates the good parts of the Apple to every part of my body.

Therefore, with a deep sense of humility and gratefulness, I credit my dental health to the regular consumption of Apple Fritters. A friend of mine recently suggested that I might be addicted to Apple Fritters, but I kindly remonstrated him by explaining I am addicted to good dental health.

My spiritual health is a different matter.

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever. Amen” (Jude 1:24-25 KJV).

God gets all the credit in my life for my spiritual health now and forever.

Giving credit where credit is due
