BONIFAY — Holmes County Development Commission-ers discussed the Lonnie Lindsey property and the In-terstate Industrial Building on Oct. 2, only to come to the conclusion that they are still at square one — waiting on contracts from prospective buyers.

The 4.2 acres on Lon-nie Lindsey Drive, which is

owned by the HCDC, was to sell to James Sellers for $6,400, but when Panhandle Forestry mistakenly ac-cessed the property to har-vest timber, Sellers reduced his offer to $4,000 and the commissioners voted at the Sept. 4 meeting to decline the lesser amount.

This month, no further word had been heard from Sellers.

“Where does this leave us?” board chairman Bud Riviere asked.

“Is he still interested in the property?” vice chair-man Tim Wells asked.

“I’ve had no contact with Mr. Sellers since the last meeting,” Riviere said.

“I think we’re back to Square One,” Wells said. “If he is still interested in the property, he needs to contact us.”

“At this time, I think we just have to wait and see what he wants to do,” board member Mike Alvis said.

BONIFAY — Holmes County School District invited local school pageant winners, Miss Ponce de Leon Makala Hicks, Little Miss Ponce de Leon Layla Jackson and Little Miss Poplar Springs Erilyn Smith, to their regularly scheduled meeting on Oct. 2.

“These girls are helping in representing our schools at the

At the previous meeting of the school board, held on Sept. 18, Holmes County resident Teresa Hamilton of Westville came be-fore the Holmes County District School Board because of concerns she was having about where the bus stops to let her great-niece off and on.

School Board Chair Jason Motley said that the reason why they changed the location is because they had a log truck come in early one morning while the bus was loading and since it was on a hill the truck was having diffi culty coming to a complete stop and there could have been an incident.

“I’m not in favor of changing the stop because I have a daughter that sometimes rides that bus and I’m aware of how dangerous that stop can be,” said Motley. “The fi rst time the bus driver thought it was unsafe he reported it and then the Florida High-way Patrol went out to investigate and it was their recommendation that the location be changed.”

After school board member Sid Johnson recommended to go down and look at the stop the rest of the board members agreed they too would go take a look at the location and pres-ent their fi ndings at the next school board meeting.

School board member Rusty Wil-liams and Johnson reported that they

had went out to the location and both agreed with the FHP that the school bus stop should remain in the new location.

The school board agreed that no action would be taken.

The school board approved of hir-ing Elisha Weeks as teacher at Beth-lehem School and Holly Blane as teacher at Poplar Springs School for the 2012-2013 school year and accept the resignation of Julie White as Aide III Lunchroom Cashier at Bonifay El-ementary School effective as of Sept. 24, 2012, David Davis as teacher at Ponce de Leon High School for retire-ment purposes effective as of Oct. 26, 2012 and Donald Dady as Assistant Principal at Bethlehem High School for retirement purposes effective as of Nov. 30, 2012.

The school board also approved of 2012-2013 School Advisory Councils, Out of County Students Amended, In-voices, Warrant List, Pay Outs over $3,000, Budget Amendments, Sept. 18 Minutes and the 2012-2013 Parent Guide.

A NOTE FROM TERRY:When I made the decision to place the statistics in this week’s paper it was with great reservation. I truly believe that the numbers do not reflect the professionalism of our educators and support staff but that of our leadership. I continue to run my campaign with honor yet we must all face the reality of my opponent being “Business As Usual”. As citizens, parents and/or professionals, we cannot sit idly by while the education of our children and grandchildren is reflected in such a negative light. As your next Superintendent of Education, I WILL move forward in assisting our educators in reversing our statewide standings and providing our students with the education they deserve. The quality that is expected from every citizen of our great county cannot be achieved through the “Business As Usual” mentality. VOTE for me, Terry Mears, for Superintendent of Education and together we will make a difference.

to purchase that property by Friday from Qualico Steel Company owned by John Downs.

The commission received a letter of intent to purchase from Qualico Steel, but the letter expired on Sept. 13. The new contract is expect-ed to have some additional requirements, including ex-clusion from taxes and hav-ing a roadway paved by the HCDC, Alvis said.

The purchase price listed for the property on the let-ter was $602,500 for the 9.34 acres and buildings. Com-missioner Alvis also serves as Qualico Steel’s real estate broker on the purchase.

“I am ready to tender my resignation from the board,” Alvis said. “I don’t want

anything to stand in the way of bringing jobs to Holmes County.”

Qualico Steel is sup-posed to bring 25 jobs with the new business and ex-pects it could hire as many as 100 people by next year, Alvis said.

“So we’re basically at the same place with this deal, waiting on a contract,” Riv-iere said.

Alvis said that was cor-rect, but he expects the commissioners to have a contract in hand Friday.

“Hasn’t this been ongo-ing for two years?” com-missioner Frances Williams asked.

Alvis said Qualico Steel’s interest in the prop-erty has waxed and waned

over the years.The commissioners also

decided to hold a special meeting on Oct. 23 to dis-cuss the Raper Property.

The HCDC has been in-vited to essentially loan a property owner money in exchange for receiving 60-plus acres free and clear, Riviere explained.

Commissioner Sandy Spear said she felt that she was not well enough informed about the Raper Property proposal to make any kind of decision, and asked if a special meeting to discuss the deal could be arranged. “I know some of us are new on the board and we would like to have more information, at least I know I would,” she said.

“This order is a landmark case,” said attorney John Bussian, who represented the newspaper, its former owner and now Halifax Media Group. “No court in Florida had ruled that by not following the steps required by the Sunshine Law to hold an executive session meant the governmental body then had to disclose the contents of that session. Everybody had talked about that conse-quence but it had never been mandated by a court.”

The order authorizing award of attorney fees and costs was issued on Sept. 28 and awards the Washing-ton County News $3,500 in attorney’s fees and $400 for costs. The city of Vernon has 30 days to pay the fees.

On April 23 at the city council meeting, the coun-cil’s new mayor, Michelle Cook, and council mem-ber Oscar Ward were to be briefed on pending litigation the city faced, so City Attor-ney Kerry Adkison called for an executive session fol-lowing the regular council meeting.

Prior to the council going into executive session, Adki-son said the panel would not come out following the ses-sion to reconvene and con-clude the executive session, as required under Florida law.

On April 27, the Wash-ington County News sent a Sunshine Law request for a transcript of the executive session to the mayor and to the city attorney, and the re-quest for the transcript went unanswered. Eventually, the Washington County News fi led suit against the city over the issue, and a hearing was held on June 26 in the 14th Judicial Circuit Court.

The order by District Court Judge Christopher Patterson setd a precedent in the 14th Judicial District, and it will be there for other districts and courts in the state to consider, Bussian said. “If there are any other cases of this magnitude, there is a good chance this case has blazed a trail for openness and compliance with the open meeting law.”

In the order to disclose,

Judge Patterson ruled that “the council violated the Sunshine Law by failing to follow the requirements for conducting a closed ses-sion.” It also states “the council violated the Public Records law by failing to produce for inspection by the plaintiff the transcript or tape of the April 23 closed session.”

The city was ordered to produce a transcript or tape of the closed session. The tape produced by the city was inaudible, however, and no transcript of the execu-tive session exists.

“This fi nal judgment by Judge Patterson affi rms public trust was violated through disregard of open meeting and public record laws meant to protect our citizens against govern-ment abuse,” said Washing-ton County News Publisher Nicole Barefi eld. “Let this serve as a notice to all public offi cials that these actions will not be tolerated, and re-mind them of their respon-sibility to the publics they serve.”

ROGERS INSURANCE AGENCY, INC. “Serving You Is Our Most Important Product”

*Property Insurance is not available in the state of Florida from Auto-Owners Insurance.

Before leaving the topic of the historic Railroad Centennial Celebration held in Chipley on May 22 and 23, 1982, a report must be made on another group of talent that we were able to have come to our town for a musical performance during the gigantic event.

The Wiregrass Sacred Harp Singers, directed by 83-year-old Dewey Williams of Ozark, Ala., graciously came to the Centennial Opry House on a bitter cold February Sunday afternoon and performed a highly spirited and enjoyable concert of their style of music, so well-known and accepted in this area.

Dewey Williams sent the writer his package of promotional materials, which explained that he had been directing Sacred Harp for radio broadcast since 1955 and for television viewing since 1966. At that time, the television show was being carried on WTVY in Dothan at 8 a.m. each fi rst and fourth Sunday morning of the month. The “Prattler” was a listener and a fan of this genre of music and had the privilege of making the overture, resulting in the Wiregrass Sacred Harp Singers making the appearance in Chipley.

On the taped television shows, Williams had 40 to 50 men and women, old and young, join him in presenting the style of music that they all knew, understood and enjoy singing. Some of his performers came for the taping sessions from several counties in Alabama and

Georgia.The leader of the singing group

utilizes each concert as training session to explain the history of this style of music.

Dewey Williams was featured in the summer of 1977 in an article printed in the magazine SOUTH, published in Graceville, Fla., by Editor Jesse Tullos. The writing was titled “Sacred Harp: An Art Form Preserved.” Mr. Williams was age 79 when this article was printed. It was fi ve years later, at the age of 83, when he brought the singing ensemble for the Chipley performance.

While performing in here, he continued his teaching approach as the talented singers presented their songs.

Williams, a native of Ozark, Ala., explains that he was “just a lad when I would sit on the kitchen fl oor and sing Sacred Harp songs with my family.” He continued “I didn’t even know what I was singing,” the reports, “I learned the songs by listening.”

In his ripe old age, Williams had made a signifi cant contribution toward preserving Sacred Harp singing, an art which dates back to medieval times.

“Sacred Harp singing survived the years of poverty and illiteracy among the American blacks by being passed on verbally from generation to generation,” according to the song leader.

Some songs were fi nally written down in the 1880s in three parts by B. F. White, a Dothan man. W. M. Cooper added a fourth part and copyrighted a book of Sacred Harp Songs in 1902. He further lists Jerry Jackson of Ozark as writing the song book “Colored Sacred Harp” in 1931.

“These men were inspired to write the songs by the Spirit of God,” Williams says. He remembers seeing Cooper when he was quite young and Cooper was already an old man.

The Dewey Williams teaching dialogue continues “Four parts, bass, tenor, alto and treble, make up the modern Sacred Harp songs. The chords are either major, coming from Ezekiel, or minor from Isaiah.” His teaching explains “the monosyllables, fa, so, la and mi, representing the four gospel books, Matthew, Mark, Luke and

When a Holmes Countian dies at the peak of his career, it brings a lot of sadness and affords a chance to look back at his life and work. The number of people attending the funeral of Billy Galloway (Clyde W. 1954-2012) attest to the place he had made for himself in Tallahassee and Florida where he was born and where he chose to spend his working years.

His earliest life was spent in DeFuniak Springs, but Sweet Gum Head in Holmes County in the Galloway Community always was his “permanent home.” There he had numerous cousins to play, hunt and fi sh with. When the family, Dad and Mother, Clyde and Dot and sister Cissy moved there and later into Bonifay, Billy became an important part of Holmes County High School student population, where his mother, Dorothy Davis Galloway, was a business teacher. He was also active in the youth group at First Baptist Church, Bonifay.

Among HCHS students at FBC were Bish Creel, Ricky Callahan, Bill Lee,

Chip Vara and others.

At HCHS, Billy lettered in football and was active in student government, Key Club, the Debate Team and other activities. He was chosen as

class favorite his junior and senior years. He was chosen by the faculty to represent the school at Boys State, where his contact with government offi cials sealed his ambition to enter the legal profession.

His dad, the late Clyde Galloway, had served in the Florida House of Representatives and was instrumental in establishing and securing funding for Washington/Holmes Vocational/Technical School (now known as Washington/Holmes Technical School).

Following graduation from HCHS and Chipola College, Billy graduated in 1976 from FSU with double majors in risk-management and real estate. He earned his Juris Doctorate from Mississippi College in Clanton, Miss., and began his career as an attorney with the Florida

Department of Insurance, serving as bureau chief of property and casualty solvency. He began his private practice in 1994 and opened his law fi rm, Galloway, Brennon P.A., in 2006 representing chiefl y insurance companies.

Billy was admitted to the Florida Supreme Court, the Federal Middle District Court of Florida and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. He provided Congressional testimony regarding the federal HMO Medicare Pilot Program and was instrumental in the 2011 drafting and passage of the Sink Hole Reform bill.

He was active in the Thomasville Road Baptist Church, where funeral services were held Oct 2. His major benevolent involvement was with his support, both personally and fi nancially, of the Ken Smith Ministries. Smith, a former football coach, has as his major focus ministry to men, especially pastors. He and Billy shared their love and support for FSU football.

Ken and pastor Curtis Clark offi ciated at the impressive funeral services. At Billy’s request, it was a joyful affair,

beginning with a solo that I recognized as a Sacred Harp song that we sang at Bethel Primitive Church when I was a child. I couldn’t get it out of my mind, so I came home and looked in my late father-in-law’s Sacred Harp song book until I found it. It was not a simple task, as songs in that book have strange titles.

Here are the words: (v.1) Ye fl eeting charms of earth, farewell. Your springs of joy are dry. My soul now seeks another home, a brighter world on high. (2) Farewell my friends whose tender care has long engaged my love; Your fond embrace I now exchange for better friends above. (Chorus) I’m a long time traveling here below; I’m a long time traveling away from home. I’m a long time traveling here below to lay this body down.

Billy Galloway’s survivors include his wife, Misty Rosich Galloway, son, William “Will” Addison Galloway, mother, Dorothy Galloway, and sister, Cecelia “Cissy” Galloway. Numerous aunts, uncles and cousins, largely in Holmes County, also survive.

Remembering Billy Galloway

This is in response to a letter written by a local doctor asking all faiths to condemn the video that is supposed to be causing all of the radical Muslims to riot and hate the United States, in the Muslim countries.

I would like to take this opportunity to set the record straight concerning some things he said and the agenda of the Muslims in general.

The first thing that I would like to say is that these people are up set because this video is supposed to blaspheme Muhammad, but their supposed-to-be holy book (The Quran) blasphemes my Lord the Savior Jesus Christ, and my God who is the God of heaven and Earth. Why the Christians not out killing people like the Muslims are?

Well the answer is simple: Jesus said that vengeance is mine, and I will repay. My God is big enough that he doesn’t need Christians to defend him, but he will defend us and will also wreak vengeance on those who kill and abuse Christians.

The Muslim’s god tells them to kill Christians and Jews (in the Quran), but our God tells us to love those who hate us and wish to do us harm. And if a Muslim should convert and become a Christian, the Muslim’s god tells them to kill the one who converts to Christianity. Their agenda is to kill all Christians and Jews and to overthrow the United States government and our constitution.

The Muslims say that their religion is a peaceful religion, but in those countries that have been overthrown already, they are systematically killing all Christians who refuse to deny that Jesus is the son of God and refuse to become Muslims, just like their prophet Muhammad did when his armies over threw those countries when he was alive.

Muhammad created the most vicious and barbaric religion that has ever been, or ever will be, and is anything but peaceful. Those who call themselves peaceful Muslims are doing what their holy book (The Quran) and Muhammad taught them to do are hypocrites. If they do not like what the radical Muslims are doing, why do they stay in this religion?

The answer is that they approve of what they are doing and are funding those radical groups, and so is the President of The United States, who is a practicing Muslim (as he told the Muslim brotherhood that he was still a Muslim). Our president gave Egypt $1.5 million of out tax money,

and this man is crucifying Christians, naked, in their capital. (Where is our news media? Why don’t they report this to the rest of the world?)

Now the Muslims think that it is alright for them to blaspheme Jesus and use our constitutional right to do so, but they want to quench our right to free speech. If they want to live in America, which is a Christian nation, even though our president and Mrs. Clinton does not claim it so, they need to adapt or return to those nations that practice the Muslim religion.

Jesus told his followers that Satan comes but to kill, to steal and to destroy. Now who does that remind you of? But Jesus came so that we can have live and that more abundant.

Jesus also said that you are the servant to whom you lend your members to obey, so who are the Muslims obeying? They are obeying their father who is the god of this world, and he is not the God of heaven and earth.

Our God commands us to love one another, not hate and kill. Killing someone simply because they do not worship the same God that you do is shedding innocent blood, which Christians are forbidden to so because it breaks the Ten Commandments that our God has given to us to obey, and it keeps us from sinning against our God. So if their god is telling them to shed innocent blood then he is not the same God I serve.

If God changed his mind like that, then no one could trust him, so they are definitely serving the God of this world, and not the God of Heaven and Earth.

Now the liberal news media calls a view like his hatred, but I call it an act of love. By this I mean that I am pointing out those differences to those who will read this and understand those differences and will come to realize that someone is on the wrong side of eternity, and I know that is the Muslims, and if even one of them reads this and realize this, then I will not have wasted my time writing this letter.

Eternity is a long time and outer darkness is forever and eternal. I don’t wish this on anyone, and I have the calling to point out the difference.

John, are sung instead of words at the beginning of each song.” “Then the song’s words, taken from gospel, are sung. There is no instrumental accompaniment.”

When he was older, Williams studied Sacred Harp Music more formally under three accomplished composers of Sacred Harp, who lived in Ozark. “I found out where the notes belong and how to mark time. You need to mark time to sing it correct,” Williams said.

Since his youth, Williams has directed a group of Sacred Harp Singers. Conventions were held regularly and the popular event lasted two or three days. He recalls an older acquaintance told him that he used

to drive 15 miles in a horse and buggy to get to a sing. “And there were no paved or even clay roads back then,” Williams noted.

The travels of Dewey Williams and the Wiregrass Sacred Harp Singers have taken him to the Folklife Festival at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., where the singers were able to sing in a building that seats 5,000 people.

Local conventions of Sacred Harp Singing are still held in the area as well as day long events usually honoring an old-time singer by naming the session as a memorial singing.

Dewey Williams alluded to the topic of dying while conducting the

singing in Chipley.“Dying is just like the sun coming

up in the east each morning. You know that it’s coming, so you just don’t worry about it,” was his philosophical attitude.

The exact date of the passing of Dewey Williams is not known, but his name is lovingly mentioned among Sacred Harp Singers of area, when and wherever they meet.

It was the distinct pleasure and honor to have the professional Wiregrass Sacred Harp Singers grace the Railroad Centennial Celebration for a song session which has long been remembered by those who were privileged to hear them.

See you all next week.

CHIPLEY — At midnight on Sept. 30 the federal Farm Bill offi cially expired, leav-ing local farmers uncertain about their future.

“The Farm Bill was created during the Great Depression with the intent of stabilizing the price of crops to insure there would be abundant, inexpensive food,” Washington County Extension Director Andy Andreasen said.

Congress usually reau-thorizes farm bills, which provide the foundation for the nation’s food, farm and rural policy, approximately every fi ve years. In 2008, Congress adopted a farm bill — the Food, Conserva-tion and Energy Act of 2008 — but set the expiration of that legislation for the end of Fiscal Year 2012, which was Sept. 30.

As part of that renewal, the bill suspends perma-nent law — decades-old agricultural laws that no longer work with contem-porary markets.

Expiration also threat-ens the nation’s largest nutrition program, Supple-mental Nutrition Assis-tance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps.

According to the Con-gressional Research Ser-vice (CRS), in the past the specter of permanent law taking effect has served as a stick forcing to Congress to act.

Under permanent law, the government must in-tervene to raise the level of crops and milk to “par-ity,” which is defi ned as the purchasing power of those crops in 1910-1914.

“Farmers depend on the subsidy process to keep their businesses go-ing during lean years,

and the loan program the Farm Bill provides guar-antees the producer a base amount of income, which the banks rely on before lending operating capital,” Andreasen said.

Without the Farm Bill in place, banks could be hesitant to loan money to farmers before December, he added. Some produc-ers borrow from $900,000 a year to $2 million a year for production costs.

“As a result, crucial rural development, con-servation and beginning farmer and rancher pro-grams are at risk of having their funding evaporate because Congress failed to pass a 2012 Farm Bill,” said Traci Bruckner, Assis-tant Policy Director with Center for Rural Affairs.

“We’ve come to the 11th hour, we don’t have a Farm Bill, Congress has not taken action, and the win-dow that they have to take

action is rapidly closing,” added Bruckner.

According to Bruckner, as members of Congress come back to their home districts to campaign, rural people will have an impor-tant opportunity to talk to them. She wants people to tell their representatives they need a Farm Bill, one that’s done right.

“People have an oppor-tunity to let them know that it’s unacceptable. It’s unacceptable not to have a Farm Bill; it’s unaccept-able to not invest in rural development programs that help create jobs through small business development; it’s unac-ceptable to reduce conser-vation funding to just the bare minimum.”

“They are procrastinat-ing until after the elec-tion,” Andreasen said. “No one in Congress wants to tackle it until the election is over.”

Bonifay’s newest business, Anna Bella’s, held their Open House on Saturday, Sept. 22.“This business has been a long-time dream of mine,” owner Anna Kent said.

“For me this business is about new beginnings and I want to share that same feeling with my clients. Without the help of many this would not have been made possible.”For more information contact Anna Bella’s at 547-5665 or visit their Facebook page at AnnaBellas Salon & Day Spa.

TALLAHASSEE —Goodwill Indus-tries-Big Bend Inc. was recently recognized as the best non-profi t in Florida providing service-re-lated employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

This prestigious award was presented by RESPECT of Florida Executive Director John McBride in conjunction with National Dis-ability Employment Awareness Month.

Through a partnership with RESPECT, Goodwill maintains seven contracts that employ and train people to do everything from litter clear-up and mowing to air-port janitor services. Eighty per-cent of Goodwill Industries’ work-force is made up of Floridians with a disability.

“Every success we achieve is thanks to our incredible team of employees. It is because of their

commitment and hard work that they and Goodwill thrives,” said Fred Shelfer, CEO of Goodwill In-dustries-Big Bend.

“Receiving this honor during National Disability Employment Awareness Month is particularly special because it underscores our important mission to pro-vide job training, education and employment to people with dis-

abilities and other barriers to employment.”

Goodwill’s Contract Services has a staff of 34, and 80 percent of the non-managerial workers have disabilities. Some of the employ-ees have been previously honored by RESPECT. In 2011, two of the employees received statewide in-dividual awards while working on the janitorial contract at North-

west Florida Beaches Interna-tional Airport in Panama City — one earning the RESPECT of Florida Rookie of the Year award and the other being honored as the Outstanding Employee of the Year.

“Goodwill Services of the Big Bend has launched a real ‘trail-blazing’ contract service program that is building innovative part-

nerships and effectively serving a host of public agencies and pri-vate businesses,” said John Mc-Bride, Executive Director of RE-SPECT of Florida. “They are not just putting Floridians to work, they are also helping Floridians with disabilities in our commu-nity maintain their independence and self respect by working at jobs that make a difference.”

We call them bulls, even though they are cows.

But when the fall redfi sh run is on, who cares if they’re girls or boys?

Adult redfi sh spend most of their long lives — up to 35 years — offshore, hanging around baitfi sh schools and feeding their prodigious appetites. During that time they can reach weights of over 90 pounds, though the max in the Gulf of Mexico appears closer to 50. All of the largest fi sh are females, biologists with the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commis-sion say.

Though the big ones are primarily offshore fi sh, in September and October they come back to inshore waters where they grew up, to feed and to spawn. The young fi sh will spend their fi rst four years in the bays and backwaters — but the adults head back offshore around Halloween.

The massive adults are not tar-gets for the grill; all reds over 27 inches are off-limits to harvest in Florida; the 18-27-inch slot limit has been largely responsi-ble for the steady increase in redfi sh numbers since the mid-1990s.

But when it comes to an angling challenge, the big reds are one of the best in inshore waters; they’re fat, they’re powerful and they won’t give up. And, if you get in the right spot at the right time, they can be incredibly abun-dant; schools of hundreds — or even thou-sands — sometimes appear along the beach-es, creating the famed “red wave” all redfi sh anglers dream of.

The red waveThe red wave results when a big school of

reds comes to the surface, sometimes chas-ing bait, sometimes traveling, sometimes, on chilly mornings, simply sun-bathing. When they’re feeding, the churning water can be seen a quarter mile away. But at other times, you have to be relatively close to see the mass of fi sh, which appears a sort or rust to rose red.

Back in the days when redfi sh were legal targets and the blackened redfi sh craze had created a commercial market, as much as 50,000 pounds of spawners were scooped up by a single boat in a single strike off Panhandle beaches. Not surprisingly, this treatment soon brought redfi sh numbers to a critical level, and the stocks did not start to recover until gill and purse seines were banned for use on the spe-cies in 1995. A one-fi sh recreational limit was placed on reds shortly thereafter.

Now, after 17 years of protection, reds ap-pear to be doing well all over the state but particularly in the Panhandle, where the rec-reational harvest limit was recently increased from one fi sh daily to two daily. State regula-tors say numbers are adequate to handle the increased harvest without impact.

Where to fi nd bullsThe giant fi sh tend to congregate around

major passes as well as around nearshore reefs and inlets.

Cape San Blas and Cape St. George, both just east of Panama City Beach, are classic fall redfi sh locations; the long points extend-ing into the Gulf create natural feeding and spawning areas, and the fi sh show up there every year by the hundreds. West Pass and In-dian Pass, at either end of St. Vincent’s Island, are also good spots, as is the St. Vincent Bar, on the east end of the island inside the bay.

St. Joseph Point and Bell Shoal, at the mouth of St. Joseph Bay, are also prime ar-eas. The jetties at the mouth of St. Andrews Bay are good, as are the fi sh havens off the beach to the southeast. The jetties at Destin are worth a visit, as are those at the entry to Pensacola Bay.

All of the public fi shing piers along Panhan-dle beaches are visited by waves of bull reds at times; if you happen to be there when the fi sh move through, you’ll be part of a fi re drill as everybody gets bit at once.

What it takesDon’t go bear hunting with a switch. You

aren’t going to land a 40-pound redfi sh on 8-pound-test spinning gear unless your name is Stu Apte. Baitcasting gear with 25-pound test and a long, stout rod is more suited to the task — easier on you, easier on the fi sh, because a long battle makes survival after release less likely. If you’re fi shing from a beach, jetty or pier, you’ll need even heavier tackle; 50-pound braid on a jumbo spinning rig is a good choice.

Bull reds will attack most anything that will fi t into their big mouths, but live and cut baits are most dependable; live mullet, pinfi sh, croakers and horse threadfi ns or greenbacks are always a good bet. They also readily grab blue crabs. Stout hooks are an essential part of the rig; 6/0 to 7/0 circle hooks will stick the fi sh and also prevent them from swallowing the hook most of the time. A couple feet of 60-pound-test mono or fl uoro leader protects your line from the rough jaws of the fi sh.

Where the reds are not visible, it’s basically a bottom-fi shing routine. Add enough weight to hold the bait on bottom, cast it out and set back to wait — if there’s a bull red around, they’ll take care of the rest. Along the beach, they’ll usually prowl outside the green bar. Around rip rap in the passes they can be any-where from right against to rocks to out in the deeper water. Areas on sand points where the currents clash and create rips are often good.

When it comes to artifi cials, any large lure can do the job. When you see fi sh on top, a big topwater lure can create some spectacular action — a Super Spook or Chug-N-Spook, worked fast and loud, will bring fi sh rushing from every direction. (Flatten the barbs on these treble-hooked plugs so you can easily release oversized fi sh.)

One-ounce jigs trimmed with 6-inch shad tails or the 1- to 2-ounce Tsunami shad swim-baits are good choices when the fi sh are deep-er. Sometimes, you can spot a school on sonar in the deeper sections of major passes, and

dropping a lure to them vertically results in instant hookups.

When you don’t know where the fi sh are, rigging up with a big trolling lure like the Mann’s Plus 25 or Mirrolure 113 allows you to cover lots of water fast. Pull the lures around artifi cial reefs and markers near the beaches, or in the rip of the larger passes on outgoing tides. Again, the trebles on these lures should have the barbs fl attened, and a long-handled hook-remover like those from Rapala should be at hand to help release the fi sh.

Reds are very durable and readily survive catch and release if they’re put back in the wa-ter promptly — get the hooks out, grab a few photos and send them on their way — they’ll make more little redfi sh, which will be in our bays and estuaries next year at this time.

Blackened redfi shThough you can’t eat any of the jumbo reds,

there are plenty of fi sh in the slot around at this time of year as well; most are found on in-side fl ats and creek mouths, and that fi shing improves as the water cools.

Blackened redfi sh is one of the more noted ways of preparing redfi sh fi llets. It produces a fi ery, crusty fi llet that pleases even those who “don’t like fi sh.”

It’s a dish best prepared outside on a grill — it makes a lot of smoke!

The fi llets are skinned, the rib cage cut out and the red line removed — it creates a “fi shy” taste.

The fi llets are basted with melted butter (yep, you need the real thing to make this work, cardiologists be damned) then set aside to drain on paper towels.

Make a dip of a few teaspoons of paprika, black pepper, white pepper, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and most important, cayenne pepper — more if you’re a Cajun, less if you don’t like a lot of heat.

Dip the fi llets in the mixed spices, coating thoroughly. Press added spices into the fi llets with your hand.

Now, heat up a heavy cast iron skillet until it’s smoking hot. If the skillet is not really hot, the blackening won’t work. Once the skillet is sizzling, quickly add fi llets, then pour a tea-spoon of melted butter over each fi llet.

Be forewarned — the smoke will fl y — and if you drip butter on the outside of the skillet, you might start a fi re.

Leave the fi llets cook until they’re black on the bottom, about two minutes, then fl ip and repeat on the other side. Check for doneness with a fork.

That’s all there is to it — wonderful spicy crust and tender moist fi sh inside; it’s a killer way to celebrate the fall redfi sh bite.

Monster reds like this one might be more than 20 years old. The species grows to more than 90 pounds, though 50 pounds seems to be near the max in the Gulf of Mexico.

TrophyCatch bass-reward

program launchedFlorida Fish and WildlifeConservation Commission

Catching a trophy largemouth bass is the dream of anyone who fi shes for this valuable game fi sh, which is the most-sought species in North America. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s new TrophyCatch Program (TrophyCatchFlorida.com), launched Monday, will increase opportunities for anglers fi shing in Florida to fulfi ll that dream, while rewarding them for helping make other anglers’ dreams come true by letting their trophy swim for another lucky angler to catch.

Gov. Rick Scott understands the importance of recreational fi shing to Florida, which annually generates more than $8 billion in economic impact and supports more than 75,000 jobs. In Florida, freshwater bass alone annually provide anglers more than 14 million days of healthy outdoor recreation and generate approximately $1.25 billion in economic impact (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2006). The FWC’s management programs are designed to provide enjoyment for even more anglers and thus increase tourism and economic benefi ts. TrophyCatch will help accomplish that and document progress.

“TrophyCatch is an innovative program to reward anglers for being great resource stewards by legally catching and releasing trophy largemouth bass,” Scott said.

TrophyCatch includes three tiers to encourage reporting and live-releasing bass heavier than 8 pounds that are caught in Florida waters. Bass 8 to 9.9 pounds (Lunker Club), or those 10 to 12.9 pounds (Trophy Club) that are caught, documented and released can be reported online at TrophyCatchFlorida.com anytime of the year. All that is required to qualify for great prizes are photos of the entire fi sh on a scale with the weight vis-ible, and one of the fi sh on a tape measurer, showing the length.

Bass that are heavier than 13 pounds and are caught between Oct 1. and April 30 each year must be certifi ed by FWC staff to verify their weight and take genetic samples. Certifi ed catches that are released or provided to FWC for research will be entered into the Hall of Fame Club, making the angler eligible for great prizes. The World Fishing Network is partnering with the FWC to promote and manage the trophy bass website.

“TrophyCatch will enable biologists to manage lakes and rivers better by providing valuable incentives to anglers for reporting and releasing their catches of trophy bass,” said Tom Champeau, director of the FWC’s Division of Freshwater Fisheries Management. The information will be used to evaluate and improve management strategies that produce more and larger bass.

Numerous industry sponsors are providing prizes to encourage conservation of these valuable fi sh.

CHIPLEY — The Chipley Tigers had a hearty Homecoming feast, pouncing on the South Walton Seahawks early in the opening quarter to post a 37-6 win at Philip Rountree Stadium on Friday.

Junior Kobe McCrary scored on a 30-yard scamper to put the Tigers on the board just 1:10 into the game, and Fletcher Dilmore’s aim was good, as usual, for the extra point.

A bad snap resulted in the Seahawks

putting 2 points on the board for the Ti-gers with a touchback about a minute later, then on their next possession the Tigers marched 70 yards on 4 plays, helped immensely by Sophomore Car-lon Smith’s 60-yard kick return, which put the Tigers on the Seahawk’s 30 to begin the drive.

Smith also took a short pass from junior quarterback Jordan Finch on the second down and was stopped in-side the 5-yard line, then McCrary was able to sweep left to score with 8:44 left in the first quarter. Dilmore added a point and the Tigers led 16-0.

In the final minutes of the first

stanza, the Tigers started yet another scoring drive, which was capped just seconds into the second quarter with a 5-yard run by junior Jacob Wilson. Dilmore kicked another field goal and the Chipley squad led 23-0 with 11:53 left to play in the half.

McCrary scored again at the 8:58 mark, this time from 25 yards out, top-ping a 63-yard, 4-play drive. Dilmore did his part and the Tigers were lead-ing 30-0 at the half.

Chipley came back from halftime and on the first possession of the quarter, marched 54 yards on six plays to score one final time when Wilson nabbed a

15-yard toss from Finch in the end zone. Dilmore was on the mark and the Tigers led 37-0, which mercifully started the continuous clock.

South Walton came back on their next possession when senior Drew Pfeiffer returned a Chipley kick from inside the Seahawks 10 to the Tigers’ 42. The Seahawks kept the momen-tum going, marching into the end zone in five plays and sending junior Sage Roberts into the end zone from 15 yard out.

Chipley has an open schedule next Friday, while South Walton travels to Graceville. Kickoff is 7 p.m.

Matt Kenseth escaped the “Big One” for the win as Tony Stewart fl ipped down the track. As Smoke fl ipped he took with him all of the chase con-tenders ex-cept Kens-eth, who won, and Jeff Gordon.

The contenders that were involved, well. some of the fi nished but most of them didn’t. Here they are anyway, Tony Stewart, Jim-mie Johnson, Dale Earn-hardt Jr., Brad Keselowski, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kah-ne, Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr., Kevin Harvick, and Greg Biffl e. Of those drivers involved Keselows-ki, and Biffl e were the only two to cross the fi nish line.

For anyone who knows me, you know I am a huge Stewart fan and stand be-hind him 100 percent. So it should come as no surprise to you when I say, that as he came out of the infi eld med-ical center and admitted that the accident was his

fault I liked to have passed out.

On to something else — Kurt Busch took his last ride with the Phoenix team. He will race in charlotte next weekend in the num-ber 78, with Furniture Row Racing, taking the place of

Regan Smith. Smith will be racing the number 51 for Phoenix in Charlotte. So far this is a one-race deal for Smith.

Bass Pro Shops has an-nounced that they will be sponsoring 18 races on Tony Stewart’s No. 14.

Flowers for Algernon — 7 p.m. Oct. 18 and 20, $10 admission, $5 student

This is the compelling story of Charlie GOrdon, a mentally challenged man, and the strange interweaving of his life with that of Algernon, a mouse. Experimental surgery has been performed on Algernon increasing his intelligence fourfold. The operation is tried on Charlie, who rapidly increases in intelligence, far more intelligent than his teacher, Alice Kinnian, or the doctors who created the operating technique. As Charlie approaches the peak of his brilliance, Algernon shows frightening symptoms of regression. The play becomes a race against time in which Charlie

tries to keep his new intelligence long enough to save himself and thus continue what he and Alice have found. This is a different kind of play: poignant, romantic, funny and tragic, but with hope for man’s indomitable spirit.

CHIPLEY — Club member Lyndal Pleas presented an informative program on “Collecting & Pressing Wild Flowers” at the Oct. 3 meeting of Chipley Garden Club.

Members and guests were delighted by the bouquets of wild flowers on the tables under the pavilion at Shiver’s Park. Lyndal remarked, “All these beautiful wild flowers were collected locally.”

Florida has the third largest floral content in the continental United States, just behind California and Texas. There are over 4000 wild flowers in Florida and 3600 of them are native. “Something is blooming just about year round. Just look! They are everywhere!” Lyndal recommended discretion when collecting specimens and suggested taking a clipping rather than pulling up the whole plant. Collection should be done in the afternoon making sure to collect the bloom and at least two leaves. The plant should be identified and pressed as soon as possible.

Lyndal demonstrated pressing flowers using paper towels and heavy books. She also provided forms for recording purposes. Several recently pressed flower specimens — phlox, oxalis, butterfly bush, and goldenrod — were displayed as well as Judy Solger’s (Wausau Garden Club) award winning pressed wildflower collection.

At the business meeting, President Karen Roland presented a certificate from National Garden Clubs to Club member Linda MacLellan for her support of the Penny Pines Project. Her generous donation will help provide seedlings to reforest 300 acres of lost trees in our national forests. The club also discussed the upcoming 2nd Annual Scarecrow Contest on Oct. 13, FFGC District II Fall Meeting in Graceville on October 10, distributing plants

and making terrariums with students at KMS Elementary School and Washington County Christian School, and the club’s 80th Anniversary Reception.

The next meeting of Chipley Garden Club will be on Wednesday, Nov. 7. We welcome visitors and new members at anytime during the year. If you would like to attend a meeting or learn more about garden clubbing, please contact Karen Roland, Club President, at 638-9968 or email her at [email protected].

Is your middle-aged cat experiencing increased thirst, appetite, and urination? Is your furry friend losing weight or has a change in behavior? If so, your family cat may have hyperthyroidism.

This common disease is caused by an overproduction of thyroid hormones, called T3 and T4, due to dysfunction of the thyroid glands in the cat’s neck. There are two of these glands, on either side of the windpipe. Both glands are usually affected, but this is not always the case. The symptoms mentioned previously are not the only signs of hyperthyroidism; other symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, and a matted or greasy coat. These signs start slowly and many owners may not initially realize that something is wrong, said Dr. Audrey Cook, associate professor at Texas A&M College of VeterinaryMedicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM).

“A drop in body weight is often the first clue that a cat is suffering from hyperthyroidism, which is one of the reasons why regular vet visits are so important in older cats,” Cook said.

If a cat starts

exhibiting the symptoms of hyperthyroidism, a trip to the veterinarian

will confirm the diagnosis. The veterinarian will perform a physical examination, which will include careful examination of the neck. An enlarged thyroid gland may be palpated, but

a normal exam does not rule out the possibility of hyperthyroidism. To confirm the disease, the animal’s thyroid hormone level will be checked through blood work.

Since thyroid hormones affect most organs in the body, it is important to test a cat for the disease if it is suspected. If left untreated, secondary problems can arise such as heart enlargement, with an elevated heart rate. Another problem resulting from untreated hyperthyroidism is hypertension, or high blood pressure. Both hypertension and heart disease caused by hyperthyroidism will resolve with proper treatment of the thyroid disease.

“Left untreated, the cardiac complications related to hyperthyroidism can be life-threatening,” Cook said.

Hyperthyroidism can be treated three ways: medication,radioactive-

iodine, or surgery. Traditionally,

medication is the main way to treat the disease. For this option, an anti-thyroid medication is given to decrease the amount of the hormones released from the thyroid glands. This is relatively inexpensive, but the drug must be given once or twice daily for the rest of the cat’s life. Also, side effects can include vomiting, anemia, lethargy and bone marrow suppression.

“Some owners have a hard time getting the medication in to their cat,” Cook said. “We can get it reformulated in to a liquid if this is easier, and sometimes we use a product that is rubbed into the ear and absorbed that way.”

Radioactive-iodine therapy is becoming increasingly popular when dealing with hyperthyroidism in cats. For this long-term treatment, the cat is injected with the radioactive iodine, which destroys the tissue of the overactive thyroid gland. Although this procedure is usually very effective, it is more expensive and requires the cat being confined to the hospital while the radioactivity decreases.

“This is one of the best ways to treat this disease,

and the choice I made for my own cat when she was hyperthyroid,” Cook said.

Surgical removal of the thyroid gland(s) is another option available for this disease. Although the long-term success rate is good, there is a risk of damage to the parathyroid glands, located close to the thyroid gland. The parathyroid gland is responsible for maintaining proper calcium blood levels.

“We usually only recommend surgery if the gland is cancerous, which is very rare, or if medication or radiation are not a suitable choice,” Cook said.

A veterinarian can help determine which treatment option is best for your animal. In general, the prognosis for a cat with hyperthyroidism is good. After treatment, long-term monitoring of the thyroid levels will help ensure the cat continues to live a happy life.

On Growing UPWhat does it mean to “grow up” and become an adult? This is certainly not an easy question to answer, although we usually know it when adulthood is lacking and someone is acting childishly. There is a lot of growing up required of us nowadays and thus adulthood is being delayed by an extended period of adolescence. This leaves us with lots of twenty- and thirty-year-old individuals who are living at home and taking on very few if any of the responsibilities of adults. To act as an adult first and foremost means to be responsible for one’s actions and one’s life and to stop expecting other people to take care of you. It also entails taking responsibility for where one is in life and refus-ing to blame our parents, teachers, or others for our lack of success. At some point, we all have to grow up and realize that our life is OURS and no one else’s, and however much others may have contributed to it, only we can shape our own lives. Whether this is always true is debatable; parents and teachers do have an impact on children and the adults they will become. But, it is best for each of us to take responsibility for our own lives and start acting and believing as if we are the masters of our own fates. Perhaps that is what it really means to be grown up: to strive to mold and fashion our own lives and to live by our own standards and ideals. And, to do it with the faith of one who takes complete responsibility for every aspect of his or her existence.

Public Square Rosary Crusade set

BONIFAY — A crusade for the Holy Rosary will be noon to 2 p.m. Oct. 13 in front of Memorial Field on State Road 79 in Bonifay.

America is at a historic crossroad. Secularists are trying to push God from the public square. They reject His benefi cial action upon society. But without God, where will our leaders get the wisdom to solve the great problems we face?

We must stop the secularist advance and pray to God for help. He will hear us if we pray through the intercession of His Blessed Mother. That’s why we are launching the 2012 Public Square Rosary Crusade.

“Public prayer is far more powerful than private prayer to appease the anger of God and call down His mercy, and Holy Mother Church, guided by the Holy Ghost, has always advocated public prayer in times of public tragedy and suffering,” Saint Louis de Montfort said in “The Secret of the Rosary.”

By THE REV. JAMES L. SNYDER My father was not what you would

call a literate person. Apart from the Bible, he did not read much of anything else on a regular basis. As a young person I can remember him quoting a great American patriot: Benjamin Franklin. The only quote he knew of this man was, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”

For a long time I thought he was making it up and then one day, I happened to run across a book in the library about Benjamin Franklin and, there it was. Benjamin actually did say that.

I had to give my father that one. It seems that every time it got

close to what my father termed as “my bedtime,” he would remind me of this famous quote. It made me hate bedtime when it came.

At the time, I had my doubts about the validity of this quote because if my father followed this quote as he encouraged me to do, why was he not healthy, wealthy and wise? At the time, I was in no position to question his wisdom. I was wise enough to know that the best part of wisdom was not to challenge the wisdom of my father. This has attributed to my length of life to date.

Incidentally, I have carried this over into my married life.

According to my father, if I simply obeyed Franklin’s advice I would have a life fi lled with health, wealth and wisdom. The three things absolutely needed in life to make a person happy. Or, so Franklin would lead us to believe.

After what seems to be a lifetime of living and living in as much harmony of these two aspects of life, I must say that there is very little truth to be said concerning good old Franklin’s saying. No matter how early I go to bed or how early I get up, I do not seem to be any wealthier or

healthier. Perhaps, and this is only a guess on my part because I am not as wise as old Benjamin Franklin. You had to do something when you got up that contributed or created your wealth. Just a suggestion from me.

That is the way it is with most sayings. They sound good; you sound wise in quoting them; but after every saying is quoted, nothing seems to change. They just do not cover the whole spectrum.

It is not that I have not given it the good old college try; it just does not work for me.

This past week I had an occasion to think about this quote. I have tried keeping the early to bed and early to rise objective in full focus throughout my life. I am not up partying until the wee hours of the morning. At my age, my party time is early afternoon.

I have made a concerted effort to get enough rest and just to make sure I have enough rest I indulge in an afternoon nap. I am not sure where this comes in Benjamin Franklin’s quote.

Recently, I had cause to refl ect upon the validity of Benjamin Franklin’s sage advice.

My quarterly taxes were due, and you know what good old Uncle Sam thinks about being late on his payments. If confession is good for the soul (another famous quote), I need to confess that while I was writing this check to Uncle Sam I had some rather harsh thoughts about him in the process. There, I said it.

During the same week, some other bills were due, and none of them would take no for an answer. Again, I must confess, while writing these checks I was sputtering to myself quite a bit. As I looked at my checkbook, I knew that the “wealthy” component of Benjamin Franklin’s quote did not come in my direction. I was simply out of wealth.

Not only that, but I recently spent

about four weeks sick with bronchitis and pneumonia and spent about three weeks in bed. Not only was I early to bed, but I was glued to my bed. How does that fi t into Franklin’s saying? The “healthy” aspect of that quote has not fallen in my direction either.

If you want to know about the wise element, simply query the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage.

Another old phrase says three strikes and you’re out. Well, according to the Franklin saying, I must concede that I am out. I am not wealthy, in many regards I’m not healthy and for sure, and I’m not wise.

It is my opinion that there is a lot more to life than wise old sayings from some old man from the past. Benjamin Franklin, for example, no doubt practiced early to bed and early to rise but in the end, he died. That does not sound too healthy to me.

Of course, the best place for wisdom is the Bible. I like what the wisest man in the world said, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV).

I am not too sure about the healthy and the wealthy components (that is up for grabs), but I am convinced the wise part comes from the Lord. After all, the Bible teaches us that God is omniscient. If God knows everything and I know God, I am in a good position.

After graduation from law school, Billy passed the Florida bar exam and began his career as an attorney with the Florida Department of Insurance. For many years, he served the citizens of Florida as a Bureau Chief of Property and Casualty Solvency. Billy was instrumental in assisting with the needs of victims affected by Hurricane Andrew. In 1994 Billy transitioned into private practice. He worked at several law fi rms before beginning his own law fi rm in 2006, Galloway & Brennan, P.A. He served on several Boards of Directors as a member and as general counsel; one dearest to his heart was Ken Smith Ministries. Billy had a passion for Seminole football, fi shing, hunting, traveling and spending time with family and friends. Billy will be

remembered for his love of life, family and God. He was a devoted son, brother, husband, father, uncle and friend. He had a warm smile and an embracing heart, never meeting a stranger and always wanting to help. He liked to tell a joke and make people laugh; and if something was broken, he wanted to try to fi x it, either physically or spiritually. We will miss him until we see him again in Heaven.

Billy was preceded in death by his father, Clyde W. Galloway, Sr.

He is survived by his wife, Melissa “Misty” Rosich Galloway; his son, William Addison Galloway; his mother, Dorothy Galloway; his sister, Cecilia “Cissy” Galloway, all of Tallahassee; his uncle and aunts, Bill and Helen Galloway and Pat Andrews of Holmes County and Vallie Riddle of Niceville, and by many cousins, nieces and nephews who loved him dearly.

Col. Norman Charles Edwards , July 26, 1924- September 19, 2012. Col. Edwards passed away, peacefully, in his sleep, after a long and hard battle. He was a member of the Army Air Corp during WWII. His plane was shot down over France, where six German soldiers were waiting for his parachute to land. We were told by some of the French witnesses that his capture was of a violent nature. His dog tags were ripped from his neck and were found in a fi eld about 40 years later by a French farmer. He was eventually taken to the POW camp, Stalag IV. On Black Friday, the prisoners were forced to start out on a long and arduous march, as word had been received that the Russians were coming. Many men died along the way, due to starvation, frostbite, and abuse. Norman was a Staff Sergeant, at the time. He thought he saw an opportunity to escape, and attempted to do so. He was stopped by machine gun fi re that shot both of his legs off. They thought he was dead and left him on the road over night. When morning came, he was still alive, as the cold weather had congealed his blood and kept him from bleeding to death. The guard’s drug him back to their temporary camp and a young POW medic fi nished sawing the bones off and stitched up his legs. He was suffering from frostbite. Two weeks later the Russians and some American troops liberated the camp. He went to a hospital in Europe and from there went to Walter Reed. He later rose to the rank of Colonel by various government operations. He never let the loss of his legs slow him down.

He owned and operated an airfi eld and continued to fl y for a long while. He then moved to Florida and went to work at the Miami Police Department as a photographer for the homicide division. From there he went to work for a sophisticated security service company that specialized in voice analyzers and lie detectors. He then opened his own detective agency called International Security, Inc. He worked with various police agencies in the panhandle area. He worked there until he retired. Not one to sit idle, he then began to play around with fl ea markets, selling military supplies.

He leaves behind his beloved grandson, Capt. Michael King and his wife Tina and his two great-grandchildren, Mikey and Heather; two dear brothers, Richard Edwards, Sr. and his wife Lenny of Virginia Beach, and Henry Charles Edwards of Bonifay; and we cannot fail to mention that his best friend and companion of 24 years, Claudette Mazzoli, was left behind also.

He will be in the hearts of all of us who loved him for all time and the wonderful memories will never fade. He was a true hero. We didn’t need all the medals to know that, but he earned them anyway. If it weren’t for all the soldiers of his generation, we would all be speaking German today. We salute you all. Norman was cremated according to his wishes and his ashes will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. Norman was 88 years old. Sims Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.

Joy Simmons Everitt, age 82, passed away peacefully Oct. 3, 2012, with her family by her side. Joy’s beauty, grace and love of life were celebrated as she accepted her greatest promotion to join the ultimate love of her life, Jesus Christ. She was born Feb. 2, 1930, in Wausau, to Cuy Simmons and Eva Wilcox; she was one of five children. Her childhood was happy and filled with love. She graduated from Chipley High School; Joy was kind and always the proper southern lady. High school sweethearts, Joy met Waller, her knight in shining armor, and she instantly knew she wanted him to be hers. They married in Donaldsonville, Ga., on Dec. 24, 1948. They have three children, and being a mother was central to Joy’s life. She was a constant example of Christ, especially evident in the nurturing of her family. Life is all about living with intention, and Joy lived daily out of purpose filled intention. Joy was known for her kindness. If you have met Joy, you have felt the Savior’s love. She loved others the way the Savior asked us to love — unconditionally and without reserve.

Joy’s three children were born to a mother who cherished them and their differences, a mother who was constant in her love, guidance and example. With unwavering strength, Joy endured the untimely passing of her only daughter, Debbie. Through her unimaginable grief, she was a source of great comfort to her family; with quiet confidence she consistently displayed complete trust in the perfect will of God. All of her grandchildren know secretly that they are their grandmother’s favorite. She spent every moment she could with them, her favorite display of affection being

the pleasure of cooking whatever they desired. Her home was always open, and everyone felt welcomed and known by her. She was a mother to all. Joy happily chose to serve, spending her days in constant service of others. She was a proud and faithful member of Wausau Assembly of God. She spent over 40 years working as church secretary, magnifying her calling through service. She spent over 30 years as a social worker for Department of Children and Families. Joy lived a life of optimism and faith. She led her family with her example of turning to Christ and finding strength in Him. She chose to be humble. She chose to be loving. She chose joy. And her children and grandchildren watched and learned. They know where to turn for peace because they watched their mother and grandmother find it in Christ. We choose now to honor her legacy with laughter and love while being ever-serving and faithful.

Joy Simmons Everitt was preceded in death by her husband, Waller David Everitt; her daughter, Debbie Everitt Lovett; and her grandson Phillip Everitt.

She is survived by her two children, Waller (David) Everitt, Jr., and Richard (Rick) Stephen Everitt; and grandchildren, Jeff Everitt, Andrea Everitt Gainey, Rebecca Lovett Seitz, Caleb Lovett and Elizabeth Everitt; and six great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her siblings, Earl Simmons, Louise Kirkland, and Lois Hiley.

A public viewing was Saturday, Oct. 6, at Wausau Assembly of God from 8:30 to 10 a.m. Funeral services were immediately after the viewing at 10 a.m. Graveside service was at Bonnett Pond Church Cemetery directly after the service.

EmploymentToday

By PETER VOGTMonster Senior Contributing Writer

Every time you’re on break from school, someone hits you with that most common question asked of college students: “What’s your major?”

For months, you’ve been able to get away with responses like “I’m not sure,” or “I’m keeping my options open.” But now — thanks to your school’s academic rules, your parents’ incessant nagging or even your own impatience — you’re forced to make a choice, and you don’t know what to do.

Thousands of college students around the country go through the same anxiety-producing experience every year, often around mid-semester when they have to choose their courses for the following semester (and they’ve already taken all their general or core courses).

Are you in the “I have to pick a major — now what?” mode? If so, don’t panic. If you’re like many college students, the major you select won’t have a huge impact on your future career anyway. But even if it will, there are plenty of things you can do to help yourself

make a sound decision.Meet with a campus

career counselorYour school’s career

counselors know your institution’s majors well, and they have a good general sense of where those majors might take you with respect to your career. Perhaps more importantly, though, many campus career centers keep detailed statistics on the types of jobs their schools’ graduates have landed with various majors. Typically, these statistics appear in the career center’s placement report, which you can ask for and then read to find out where different majors might take you in the future.Read your undergraduate

bulletin, related publications

Maybe you don’t need to actually read the entire undergraduate bulletin, but at the very least, page through it and look at all the majors available at your institution. You never know when you’ll stumble upon one that really fits your interests.

If browsing your institution’s undergraduate bulletin sounds far

too boring, stop by your school’s admissions office and ask for briefer major-related publications that might be available.

Talk to professors and students in various majors

Start by asking your friends and acquaintances what they’re majoring in and why. What do these students like and dislike about their majors? And what can they tell you about the courses in their majors and the careers their majors might lead to?

Similarly, ask professors in various academic departments to briefly describe their majors. Tell

them you’re interested in learning more about what previous students in the department have gone on to do, career-wise. Professors will gladly tell you in most cases, if you ask.

Check out “What CanI Do with a Major in ______?” materials

There are lots of ways to answer the question, What can I do with a major in _______?”.

Dozens of major-related books are available to you as well, often at your school’s main library or your campus career center’s library. VGM Career Horizons, for

example, publishes several Great Jobs for _____ Majors books as well as the Opportunities in _________ Careers series.

Page through guidesto college majors

Several publishers have developed books that offer extensive descriptions of various college majors and what careers those majors might lead to. JIST, for instance, offers The College Majors Handbook, which features information (based on a survey of some 150,000 college graduates) on 60 different majors. Ferguson Publishing, meanwhile, offers College Majors and Careers, which also describes 60 majors in detail.

There’s no need to fly blind when it comes to researching and then choosing a college major, especially in this day of the Internet and easily accessible information. The more you talk to knowledgeable people and read about various majors, especially those you know little or nothing about, the better chance you have of picking the one that best fits both your short-term needs and your long-term career goals.

I have to pick a major ... now what?
