PANAMA CITY — State Senate President Don Gaetz announced last week the Florida Department of Transportation will fi nish four-laning State 79 up to Interstate 10 by sum-mer 2017.
An FDOT offi cial also discussed
County 388, and said no funding is in place to expand the road, but it is be-ing studied.
Gaetz, R-Niceville, delivered the news as part of a three-stop barn-storming tour across the Panhandle, promoting projects previously an-nounced in FDOT’s fi ve-year plan. He started the day at the Bay County Public Library, accompanied by state Sen. Bill Montford, D-Tallahassee,
state Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fort Walton Beach, and state Rep. Jimmy Patro-nis, R-Panama City.
“The state of Florida is today stepping up to be a bigger partner and a much better partner in build-ing a transportation infrastructure that will help … create jobs for Northwest Florida,” the Florida Sen-ate president told a gathering of local offi cials and residents.
Gaetz said $974 million in state funding will fl ow to Northwest Florida for transportation, rail, port and bridge projects in the next four years.
Widening State 79 is one of those projects.

Gaetz: Keep election
reform localBy MATTHEW BEATON
522-5114 | @[email protected]
TALLAHASSEE — Senate Presi-dent Don Gaetz’s approach to elections reform is music to the ears of two Panhandle su-pervisors of elections.
Speaking at an Associated Press planning session forum on Jan. 30, Gaetz said the Legis-lature shouldn’t treat elections reform with a one-size-fi ts-all bill. He said he’d spoken with Holmes County Elections Su-pervisor Debbie Morris recent-ly and learned the rural county had no problems. Gaetz said the longest line was 15 minutes.
“Florida and Florida coun-ties are very diverse, and we can’t force a one-size-fi ts-all template down on the heads of people who live in different places and have different cir-cumstances,” he said.
Gaetz brought up the idea of giving counties leeway to cre-ate community-specifi c hours and procedures. Overall he expressed less concern about the elections problems that plagued the state in Novem-ber than House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, who joined him at the podium.
“There are some glaring issues,” Weatherford said. “... We believe both in the House and in the Senate, jointly, that that this is an issue we have to address.”
Man cleared of 2012 attempted murder charge
By RANDAL SEYLER638-0212 | @WCN_HCT
CHIPLEY — Tears and solemn hugs set the mood at the Washington County Courthouse when Lawrence Brown was found not guilty of at-
tempted murder in the second de-gree in the Dec. 31, 2011, stabbing of Micah Taylor.
Brown, 61, a Holmes County resi-dent, was accused of stabbing Taylor multiple times after an altercation at the Thirsty Turtle, a Washington County bar near Caryville.
The jury of two men and four women took about 90 minutes to come to a verdict.
The maximum sentence for sec-ond-degree attempted murder, a second-degree felony, is 15 years, said Assistant State Attorney Shalla Jefcoat, the prosecutor in the trial.
The jury could have found Brown
guilty of lesser charges such as at-tempted murder in the third degree or aggravated assault, but they re-turned a not guilty verdict instead.
Taylor eventually recovered from the attack and was one of the pros-ecution’s witnesses. Brown did not testify during the trial.
“I want to thank you for the way you conducted yourself in court, and in total,” 14th Judicial District Court Judge Chris Patterson, who presided over the three-day trial, told Brown. “I appreciate the way you conducted yourself and the way the gallery con-ducted themselves during the trial.”
Dozens of Brown’s relatives fi lled
half the courtroom’s benches, and after the verdict was read, a steady line of teary-eyed friends and rela-tives hugged Brown and congratu-lated him.
Lawrence Brown, along with Ca-leb Brown and Daniel Brown, had given Taylor, his girlfriend, Kendra Dumas, and her cousin Selina Coo-per a ride home from the Thirsty Turtle after a evening of drinking, according to testimony. Taylor and Dumas began fi ghting, with Dumas punching Taylor in the face and the couple biting each other.

project will add two more lanes and a median, Gaetz said. That stretch of road runs through Holmes and Washington counties.
Gaetz also said $44.9 million will go toward widening State 77, from the Bay County line to Interstate 10. The proj-ect is divided into six segments, totaling 23.5 miles, but no funding is in place for construction costs; the allocated money will be used for design and right-of-way acquisition.
And, Gaetz said, $85 million will be used for an elevated overpass — a fl yover — at the U.S. 98 and 23rd Street intersection. The project should be fi nished in 2015.
FDOT District 3 Secretary Tommy Barfi eld said the contract for the State 79 project will be executed this month.
“That contract is ready to go. It’s been advertised. Anderson Columbia was the low bidder,” he said.
Though the improvements will stop at Interstate 10, FDOT plans to four-lane State 79 to the Alabama border. The state will spend $5.05 million in 2017 to study that expansion.
COUNTY 388Barfi eld also addressed County 388.
He said the previous district secretary committed to take ownership of the road from the county, but that hasn’t happened. Nevertheless, he said it will be done eventually.
“We’re trying to work out, with the county … all the details, and let me assure you that we are going to follow through on our commitment as an agency,” he said.
Barfi eld said County 388 is being re-viewed in a project development and en-vironmental study; FDOT is looking at ex-panding it to four lanes. He said this would be done in phases; likely the fi rst phase would be from Northwest Florida Beaches
International Airport entrance to State 79. No construction funds are in place.
“As soon as we get through with (the study), we’ll know more about the cost; we’ll know more about the right-of-way acquisition,” he said.
The House speaker also said there were too many constitutional amend-ments on the ballot and not enough voting sites on Elec-tion Day.
Gaetz said most of the nine elections supervisors who testifi ed before a Sen-ate panel this month didn’t
want a catch-all policy im-plemented across Florida. Most testifi ed that each county’s circumstances are different and asked that ear-ly voting not be held on the Sunday before the election.
But, Gaetz admit-ted, some fl aws must be addressed.
“We know we’re going to have to sand the rough edg-es off of this,” he said.
Bay County Elections Supervisor Mark Andersen, who testifi ed before the Sen-ate panel Gaetz referenced, fully endorses county-spe-cifi c procedures. In an in-terview Wednesday, he said he doesn’t want a totally different approach between South Florida counties and North Florida counties. He thinks there should be pa-rameters — a minimum and maximum — on early voting days and counties
should be allowed to work within those limits.
Senate Minority Leader Chris Smith, D-Fort Lau-derdale, also addressed the issue at the forum, pushing for increased early voting days. He said costs for addi-tional hours for early voting could be shared between the Legislature and the counties.
“This is a fundamental right. ... This is (of) para-mount importance, and so it’s one of those situations where you have to fi nd the dollars,” he said.
Smith said the estimated cost to fully extend early voting hours is about $20 million.
Andersen perked up at the idea of the state shoul-dering part of the early vot-ing expense. He said the su-pervisors of elections work hard to keep their budgets in check and a 50-50 split would be a boon.
“If they’re going to help us by providing funding, I think that’d be a great thing,” he said.
Meanwhile, Morris af-fi rmed what Gaetz said
— that the county had no elections problems, though voters had a two-page ballot with a host of amendments.
“It was a very smooth election,” she said.
But Morris wants fl ex-ibility. She said Holmes County needs more early voting site options and en-dorsed Gaetz’s idea of a county-specifi c approach.
“One piece of legislation doesn’t work for everyone. ... It is going to take some fl exibility for all of us to best serve our voters,” she said.

The Browns got involved with the fi ght. At one point, Washington County sheriff ’s dep-uties arrived to investigate reports of a loud argument, but no one was arrested.
According to testimony, after the Browns squared off with Taylor, they got into their vehicle and left with the girls.
About 3:30 a.m. Jan. 1, 2012, Taylor’s un-cle Randall Taylor called 911 to report the stabbing.
Jefcoat told the jurors in her closing ar-guments that Lawrence Brown had stabbed Taylor from behind while Taylor fought with Caleb Brown.
Defense Attorney David Thomas of DeFu-niak Springs noted during closing arguments that there were no witnesses to the stabbing, with Taylor testifying that he couldn’t see who was stabbing him, but he identifi ed the stabber as Lawrence Brown based on the shape of his assailant’s body and his voice.
Dumas testifi ed that Taylor was “madder than she had ever seen him” that evening and that Taylor was known for carrying a knife similar to a box opener.
No knives were recovered at the crime scene, nor were any submitted into evidence, Thomas said.
Thomas also pointed to discrepancies in Taylor’s statements to police, lawyers and his doctor that suggest Taylor was dishonest in his claim that Lawrence Brown stabbed him.
“He claims he remembers better now than he did when the incident occurred,” Thomas said. “There was nothing in his inju-ries that would have affected his memory.”

CHIPLEY — Beginning Feb. 4, the Washington and Jackson County Tourist Development Council will host historical and nature tours that will be offered to all winter residents in Bay County.
The tours are part of a cooperative initiative started by a group of resort and restaurant managers
on Panama City Beach to keep winter residents on the beach longer. The co-op aims to do just that by of-fering a Real Fun Snowbird Calendar for the months of January and February, listing events and activi-ties geared toward the win-ter resident crowd to keep them active.
Washington and Jack-son County TDC’s have joined the co-op offering
these tours as a marketing test for its day trip program that has been in the works since July of 2010.
The tours will be the first of a series of trips, fea-turing many other points of interest in Jackson and Washington counties, which will be offered all during 2013 to test its con-cept. Rock and Roll Transit will provide shuttle buses to pick up residents from
Grand Panama Resort on Front Beach Road to go on the tours. Tours will be ro-tated every other Monday in February between Wash-ington and Jackson coun-ties, with Jackson County taking the opening tour.
In Jackson County, the day trip will consist of a tour of the caverns at Florida Caverns State Park, lunch in downtown Marianna and a tour of historic homes
before taking the residents back to the beach.
In Washington County, the tour will begin with a guided tour of Falling Wa-ters State Park’s waterfall and sinkholes, a stop at the Washington County Historical Society Mu-seum, lunch in downtown Chipley, a stop at Moss Hill Church in Vernon and will end with a tour of the win-ery and gift shop at Three
Oaks Winery. For more information
on becoming a part of the day trip program or to book a tour, please contact the Jackson County TDC at 482-8060 or the Wash-ington County TDC at 638-6013. You can also visit the TDC’s websites at www.jacksoncountytdc.com or www.visitwashingtoncoun-tyfl.com for more informa-tion on the area.

TALLAHASSEE — Florida’s three most powerful state govern-ment leaders rolled out their agendas for the 2013 legislative session Jan. 30, touting educa-tion spending, job growth, tax cuts, ethics reform, campaign finance reform and pension reform.
Gov. Rick Scott, Senate Pres-ident Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, and House Speaker Will Weath-erford, R-Wesley Chapel, spoke to journalists at the Associated Press’ annual planning session in Tallahassee.
Scott took the opportunity to give a preview of his 2013 bud-get, saying education was a “top priority.” He unveiled a pro-posed funding increase of $1.2 billion for K-12 public schools. That will bring state funding for K-12 schools up to $10.7 billion, the highest in state history, he said.
Scott said that means per-student funding is $6,800, an increase of more than $400 per student or 6.5 percent. The bud-get also will contain the already unveiled $480 million teach-er-pay-raise proposal, which gives each teacher $2,500 more annually.
“Investing in our teachers and in our education system is
the key for our state’s continued economic growth,” he said.
Democrat leader rebutsSenate Minority Leader Chris
Smith, D-Fort Lauderdale, who spoke after Scott, scoffed at the governor’s sudden focus on education.
“He’s now throwing gim-micks and dollars at education after he came in and slashed education (which) tremendous-ly shows that he’s finally admit-ting that ‘I was wrong to starve education,’ ” Smith said.
Also because of a law requir-ing teachers to contribute 3 per-cent to their pensions, the raise won’t be a net gain, Smith said.
He said Scott’s “sudden epiphany” on education “reeks” of preparation for a forthcoming election year.
Scott and the economyAlso Scott took credit for
Florida’s economic growth dur-
ing his time in office. He said upon his arrival the state cut back to meet budget obligations and position itself for growth.
“I came into office in 2011 during record-high unemploy-ment, record-high debt and re-cord-high job losses,” he said.
Scott then tacitly pointed out who presided over those woeful times — his likely opponent in the 2014 election, former Gov. Charlie Crist — and listed a se-ries of abysmal numbers.
“In the four years before I took office, the state had lost 825,500 jobs, unemployment more than tripled from 3.5 to 11.1 percent,” he said, noting the state’s debt increased by more than $5.2 billion.
But now, Florida’s looking at a budget surplus. Scott said that’s because of the decision to shrink government and “live within our means.”
“We’re now in a position to strategically invest in statewide priorities,” he said.
In addition to increased
spending on education, Scott wants the surplus to go toward more business tax cuts.
Couching the proposal in terms of job creation, Scott said his budget will fund 2,000 tax ex-emptions for small business.
Also Scott said his budget will eliminate sales tax on manufac-turing equipment. He said this will level the playing field be-tween Florida and other states competing to attract manufac-turing companies.
“Eliminating the sales tax on manufacturing companies is one of my top priorities,” he said.
Gaetz and WeatherfordSenate President Don Gaetz,
R-Niceville, and House Speak-er Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, gave joint presentation, laying out their agenda. Gaetz spoke most forcefully about eth-ics reform, his biggest focus this session.
“We think it’s very impor-tant ... that we ought to raise
the level of public confidence, if we can, by raising the level of public ethics,” Gaetz said. “We don’t believe that public office ought to be an opportunity for private gain.”
Weatherford pledged support for the ethics reform, an effort where the Senate has take the lead. A comprehensive bill has already moved out of one Sen-ate committee.
“The Florida House is in alignment with the Senate on ethics reform ... We do believe the time has come (for reform),” Weatherford said.
Also Weatherford said he wants to eliminate Commit-tees of Continuing Existence, or CCEs — which can raise un-limited funds and are often con-trolled by lawmakers — and in-crease the $500 maximum cam-paign contribution limit.
“I don’t have any pre-con-ceived notion that we’re going to solve this problem overnight, but I do believe we can bring some sanity to the campaign-finance realm,” he said. “I believe that ethics reform and campaign fi-nance reform go hand in hand.”
Also Weatherford said he wants to reform the pension system and eliminate “defined benefit” plans. He said no one already in the system would be removed, but a date must be set where future employees would not be put in such plans.

With the threat of tornadoes in neighboring Alabama and Georgia, some of our transplanted Bonifay “children” have come to understand the sound of the familiar “mill whistle” that we hear every day at noon to have a more urgent meaning. Former residents David and Erin (Brooks) Lauen and Stephanie (Lauen) Ford live with their families in Atlanta. This past week they heard sirens several times sending school children with their teachers to storm shelters. Their mother, Christine Lauen, said Bonifay needs a dangerous-storm warning system. “Hazel, you should write an article about that.”
Well, I don’t editorialize much so this is not a suggestion that our city fathers start a warning system. That doesn’t fi t into my writing style. I would assume each school has some sort of storm drill just as they do fi re drills. I remember when I was teaching and the sky was threatening, some kids would become quite worried. I gave them the
instructions even though we didn’t have a sustained siren sound. “Move to the inside wall. Get on your knees with your hands and arms over your head. And while you are down there, pray that
God will keep the storm up in the sky.” I am fully confi dent that He is able to do that.
But the idea of a siren as a severe weather-warning device brought to mind our noon mill whistle, which blows at noon every day. To those of us who live here, it is a sound to which we are long accustomed. But for newcomers to our area, it sometimes causes alarm. When our former youth minister and his bride, Jason and Nicole Stanland, moved here a couple of years ago, they were getting settled into their home about a block from First Baptist Church. When the noon mill whistle sounded, thinking it was surely warning of some impending disaster, they were almost panic-stricken. They had no knowledge of what the disaster might be nor how they were to respond to the warning. They soon
became accustomed, however, to that signal telling Bonifay folk, “It’s time for lunch.”
Many ask about the history of the whistle. I can’t be sure, but I’ve always thought it was a carry-over from the days in the 1940s and ‘50s when the Bonifay Heading Company employed many Bonifay and surrounding area citizens. The “header mill” as it was locally called was located near where Jerkins Inc. is now located. They made wooden barrelheads (covers) that were used mainly in the naval stores industry. Much of their equipment was powered by steam produced by burning the wood byproducts from the shaping of the circular barrelheads.
Ray Brooks, who lived near the mill as a child where both his parents worked, said the ash from the burning process often soiled the clothes, which his mother and sisters hung outdoors to dry.
The steam produced by the furnace also powered the mill whistle. When we lived in town in the early 1950s, it sounded at noon to signal lunch time and again at 5 p.m. to signal quitting time. If there was
one in the morning to signal starting time or at 1 p.m. to signal go back to work time, I don’t recall. I actually think there was a 1 p.m. whistle and perhaps a 7 p.m. one.
Ray says the fi re whistle that blows today was originally located atop what was Red Alford’s Western Auto Store next door to Progressive Realty on Waukesha Street. I believe it is now located atop the water tank behind the Middle School Gym atop McKinnon Hill. It was when I was teaching there.
I had always assumed the noon whistle was set on a timer, but I called Elois Bradshaw who works at Bonifay City Hall. She said, “No. We ring it by hand.” The job is assigned to Sabrina Peters, but when she has to go and work at the fi re station, either Elois, Frances Kline, Betty Tadlock or City Clerk Jeri Gibson ring it. I suppose one of them is also assigned to push the button for the start of parades. Many visitors and newcomers to our town have puzzled over the fi re alarm sounding at noon. Now you know the origin.
In a future article, I will write more of the history of the Bonifay Heading Company.
HAPPY CORNERHazel Wells Tison
The mill whistle still sounds at noon
Wednesday, February 6, 2013
On Friday, Jan. 18, my sister Muriel Wells Turner, informed me in a telephone conversation that the landmark building, known as David Cook’s store, on Highway 79 south of Bonifay, had been reduced to rubble by the wrecking crew assigned to remove it from the right of way, required for further widening of the road leading to the Bay County Gulf Beaches.
Ironically, Muriel’s Vernon High School classmate of 1961, Sandra Hightower Miller, had the responsibility of passing this sad message to our sister. Sandra also knew the history of Muriel’s two grown daughters, Maria and Meredith, depending upon a visit for candy as children to David’s Store. Their grandfather, Hugh Wells, whom they affectionately called “Pa,” delighted in taking them and other grandchildren for the special treat.
The word irony is used because Sandra’s mother, Fannie Lou Simmons Hightower, has already witnessed her Vernon home, falling victim to demolition by the house wrecker’s “ball.” Her historic home was also acquired by the state upon determining that it was also in the path of the highway’s widening project through the town of Vernon.
Further signifi cance to the Hightower’s home
removal is the fact that Fannie Lou was reared in the home as the daughter of Frederick Houston (Fred) Simmons and Jessie Lee Spencer Simmons. She was their only child. Upon
marrying Brown Doyle Hightower on August 10, 1939, an arrangement developed that allowed the newly weds to become the owners of the old home place where they continued to live their lives together. It was in this location that the couple reared their two daughters, Linda and Sandra.
Brown Hightower’s lifetime job was in road construction, and maybe this fact lessened the impact on family members who saw the necessity of surrendering the family home to the massive road improvement project.
The David Cook combination home and business was built long after the Simmons/Hightower edifi ce, but its strategic location resulted in it becoming somewhat of a beacon in the community. Floyd Cook, a nephew of David, wrote the David and Carolyn Mercer Cook story for the 2006 Heritage of Washington County Book. Floyd listed David’s parents as Arthur Bennett Cook and Vera Mae Kelly Cook.
School for David included Union Hill, Vernon High School and
Holmes County High School, where he played football. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II, and upon discharge from the service, he soon married Carrie Hortense (Carolyn) Mercer Cook. Their two sons are Wallace and Terry Cook.
The combination country grocery store/home also later became a fi lling station and feed store. The latter also served as a voting precinct for many years. David was a longtime school bus driver, driving a bus to Vernon High School until retirement.
Residents of the area patronized the business faithfully and also relied on the stalwarts, David and Carolyn, to provide directions to travelers and strangers who had previously been told to “watch for David Cook’s Store for instructions,”
should they be unable to fi nd a particular home, church or other location in that community.
James W. (Bill) Lee, who was reared practically on the Holmes-Washington county line, is a longtime career employee of the Washington County School System. He wrote a heartwarming, timely article on the lives of David and Carolyn in the Heritage of Washington County Book, submitted within days of David’s death on Feb. 24, 2005. Bill’s writing pointed out the convenience of the store whether it was to stop by for the traditional “Moon Pie and an R.C. Cola” while taking a break form hauling hay or to purchase your fi sh bait for a relaxing day of fi shing when heading to the lakes and the Choctawhatchee River located at Hinson Cross Roads.
Bill’s writing mentioned
David Cook’s store as the place to gain information as to the happenings going on in the area. “Just hang around the store for a few minutes and you could learn who was sick, where the next hog killing would be going on and who had fresh turnips or new potatoes ready to dig”.
Candidates for public offi ce knew that the country stores in the rural area were a Mecca for people to assemble and an excellent place to see the most voters by timing your visits around noontime or late in the afternoons.
Before the days of modern radio communications in law enforcement, Ruth Bush, longtime employee of the sheriff ’s department, reports of depending on the public telephones installed in the country stores to keep in touch with the deputies, whether it be in New Hope, Ebro,
Greenhead or Miller’s Ferry.
In 1976, Jim and Jesse’s bluegrass rendition of the John Prine protest song, “Paradise,” where the lyrics’ objection to strip mining is outlined in the chorus to the lengthy and beautiful version of the song: “Daddy won’t you take me back to Mullenberg County, down by the Green River where paradise lay? I’m sorry my son, but you’re too late in asking, Mr. Peabody’s Coal Train done hauled it away.”
In other verses, a line is used that attributes strip mining operations to “brought it all down to the progress of man.” Maybe road and bridge building and others acts requiring destruction and disruption of “status quo” can be justifi ed by attributing is all “to the progress of man.”
See you all next week.

BONIFAY — Regional Director of Resource De-velopment at United Way of Northwest Florida Ron Sharpe visited the Holmes County Board of County Commissioners during their regularly scheduled meet-ing Tuesday, Jan. 29.
“I’m looking to hold Unit-ed Way campaigns through-out Holmes County to raise awareness to the services provided in Holmes County. There are over 31 agencies that are available to assist the residents of Holmes County like Life Manage-ment, Tri County Commu-nity Council,” Sharpe said.
He said it was diffucult for people to become more knowledgeable about most of those agencies because they weren’t stationed in Holmes County.
“Even though they are lo-cated in Panama City, it’s the residents of Holmes County that receive the help,” he said. “One offi ce in Panama City was able to help over 50,000 people. Some of those people were from Holmes County.”
Ten calls a day are made from people who need help with their power bills, he said.
“95 cents of every dollar remains local,” Sharpe said. “A little bit out of each pay roll helps immensely, and that money can go to the agency of your choice.”
A lot of that is possible because the United Way pulls resources from both state and federal.
“When someone gives to United Way over the course of a year it has a large im-pact,” he said. “When it comes to United Way, it’s like a grant and someone, not a paid staff member but someone within your community, will look at the dollars. They will look at the grant request, and our agencies will fi ll out an ap-plication, a grant applica-tion. They tell us how much we need, how they’re going to use the money and that whole process.
“For Holmes County, those individuals are Julia Bullington with the Holmes County Chamber of Com-merce, Melissa Willard with Regions Bank, Fran Haith-
coat with Wells Fargo and Brenda Blitch from Doctors Memorial Hospital.”
The money given through donations is matched and increased because of grant matches, Sharpe said.
“For example, Life Man-agement has a foster care adoption program and $25 is given for every dollar do-nated,” he said. “Meals on Wheels gets $9 for every dol-lar and the Early Learning Coalition that funds daycare centers in Holmes County gets $17 for every dollar do-nated. The Red Cross has helped fi ve people over this winter after loosing every-thing due to house fi res and they don’t get any funding aside from agencies like ours.”
Commissioner Da-vid Whitaker asked how does the United Way keep people from abusing these services.
“We’ve learned a lot from past disasters,” Sharpe said. “We have a system set up that keeps people from double-dipping, so to speak, and all agencies have to be reviewed and audited on an annual basis. It’s all about accountability.”
Sharpe said one-time donations can be made on-line, and you can use cash, check, credit card or payroll deductions for donating.
“Payroll deduction is the strength of United Way be-cause you’ll never miss a dollar out of each paycheck,” Sharpe said.
One of the most recent successes was Doctors Me-morial Hospital, he said.
“Doctors Memorial Hos-pital had never done any-thing like this before, but Blitch said she was interest-ed in bringing it to her staff and giving it a shot,” he said. “The fi rst year they raised $2,500 and last year they raised $3,330. They saw the needs in their community and decided to make a differ-ence in their community.”
Chair Monty Merchant said that he has seen United Way successfully raise mon-ey for local agencies through a previous employer.
“This is a good opportu-nity to give to a local agency and make a difference in our community,” Whitaker said.
Sharpe added that Cov-enant Hospice was also an agency that received grant
money from every dollar raised.
“A lot of times people can’t afford these services, and heaven forbid you should need it, but they’d never turn you away,” he said. “We’re in challenging times. We just need to raise awareness that these agencies are out there to help in these trying times of economic crisis.”
BOCC approved Com-missioner Bobby Sasnett’s requested to pay a local bea-ver hunter for his services, saying he was charging the county $480 at a rate of $30 per beaver.
“I don’t know how much of a problem we’re having with these beavers, but if killing them helps then we should see about it,” Sasnett said.
County employee Eddie Whitehurst verifi ed that the beavers in Holmes County are an issue and one that the county should take note of because they’ve had the job of cleaning out the beaver dams, but soon their work crew will be reduced.
Commissioner Bill Parish suggested going out to bid if they fi nd that this service is benefi cial to the county, and Whitehurst brought before the BOCC an estimate to cover the new fuel tankards at Districts 3 and 4 Road Yard.
“Because of the newer and bigger fuel tankards, we’re needing something bigger to cover them from the weather,” Whitehurst said.
BOCC agreed to table the matter until Whitehurst found a cheaper means of covering the tankards.
BOCC approved of ac-cepting two vehicles handed down from the Tri County Community Council for the Holmes County Pub-lic Library and the road department.
“We’ve never had a vehi-cle for the library,” said Su-san Harris from the HCPL. “We’ve been striving for a vehicle to take to the rural areas. We want to provide what services we have in the library, such as the In-ternet, to those areas who can’t afford to make it to the library.”
BOCC approved get-ting an assessment and a recommendation for what should be done with faulty air conditioning unit at the
Holmes County Agricultural building.
BOCC approved of The Northwest Florida Regional Planning to continue offer-ing the State Housing Initia-tives Partnership program after receiving word that program has received fund-ing for the new year.
BOCC approved Tri County Community Council representative Joel Paul’s request for TCCC to submit a Transportation Service Development Grant.
“The Department of Transportation has a grant available to improve our transportation programs,” Paul said. “For us, it has already been approved. We just need to show the ap-proval of the board. We’ll be using it to update our soft-ware for better scheduling, mapping, routes, GPS, etc.”
County Engineer Cliff Knauer approached the board to remind them about deadlines for the Florida Boating Improvement Pro-gram grant.
“One of our former com-missioners, Jim King, was trying to push for a boat ramp at the Chactahachi River in Holmes County on the west end of Highway 90,” Knauer said. “Because it didn’t score high enough, we weren’t able to get the grant. First of all, we couldn’t get a letter from the DOT to al-low access through their right-of-way, and second of all, everyone who submit-ted an application and was accepted was fully prepared beforehand with survey analyses, etc.
“We didn’t have any sur-veying or impact studies,” Knauer said. “We can get those without any prob-lem, it just takes time. So if anyone has any boat ramp, parking lot or restroom is-sues, we’ve got to get on it soon so we can get what we need for this grant.”
Parish asked County At-torney Jeff Goodman what the status was for the Holm-es County Comprehension Plan.
Goodman said the coun-ty had been through the painstaking process of up-dating the Comprehensive Plan to meet legislative requirements, and now all that was required was to see if they are still in com-pliance and if they want to update their Evaluation
and Appraisal Report.Parish also said that
there are issues with erosion on North and South Ride.
Knauer agreed to review the plan with Parish.
“We’re ready when you are,” said Knauer.
Merchant told the board a local church that is a build-ing a new sanctuary ap-proached him about waiving tthe building fee.
The board members agreed it wasn’t a good idea to waive the fees.
“If we waive it for one, we’ll have to waive it for all,” said Williams. “Even I had to tell the same thing to my
church when they asked.”BOCC approved of con-
sent items minutes for Janu-ary 8, 2013, Workshop & Reg-ular Session, Real Property Lease with Reba Sconiers for District 1 Road Yard, Travel Request for Wanda Stafford to go to the Annual Governor’s Hurricane Con-ference and Miscellaneous Appropriations Agreement with the Council on Aging.
The next regularly sched-uled HC BOCC meeting is set for 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 12 at the Holmes Coun-ty BOCC Chamber located behind the Holmes County Courthouse.

The Silver Hook has been a three-year winter project for Harold Staples. He has kept the boat under a 30-foot by 60-foot carport in his backyard.
By TINA HARBUCK654-8440 | @DestinLogTina
He was just a teenager when he fi rst helped his dad build a fi shing boat, and now at age 63 he’s still building boats in his Destin backyard.
“I’m addicted to it,” said Capt. Harold Staples, who has been building the 36-footer in his back-yard on Stahlman Avenue for the past three years. “Some people are addicted to some things, mine is the water and being around boats — it’s my passion.”
Staples hopes to launch his new boat, tagged the Silver Hook after his father’s last boat, some-time next week.
“All that’s left to do is paint the bottom and fi nish the wiring,” Staples said. “It’s a big thing when you put it in the water and see it fl oating out there. Then you get on it and make it go.”
When she hits the water, the Silver Hook will be a fi berglass, six-passenger charter boat, but it didn’t start out that way.
“Fiberglass boats are every-where and you can buy them for little or nothing,” Staples said. “There is nothing wrong with them; usually the engine goes bad, but the hulls are usually in great shape most of the time. So if you fi nd one, and kind of like the way it looks, you can get it for a song and a dance. And you’ve got a good project to work on.”
From derelict to doneStaples said the Silver Hook
originally was one of a pair of lob-ster boats from New England.
“This one was called the Tou-ché and it’s sister ship was the Broadbill,” he said.
Both boats were equipped with inboard, outboards and were rigged for long-lining swordfi sh.
The Broadbill was lost at sea during Hurricane Opal in 1995, and the Touché found its way around town.
“It was sitting around for sev-eral years in different peoples yards and they were going to fi x it up, but nobody ever did,” he said.
Staples said he had seen the boat near Industrial Park, then over in a yard off Siebert. Guy Santucci fi nally bought it and had it sitting at his business on
U.S. 98, Coastline Tree Service.“You could see it sitting up
behind Half Hitch,” Staples said. But the boat was in pretty bad shape.
Not long after, Santucci was over at Staples’ house grinding stumps, when Staples asked him what his plans were for the old dilapidated boat.
Santucci told Staples he was going to rig it up for commercial fi shing, but because it was going to cost about $100,000, his wife said no way.
Staples wound up buying the boat for what Santucci had in it.
“I gave Guy $3,000 for the hull and the little cabin area on the front, and it’s been a three year project at the house here — just working on it in the winter time,” he said.
When Staples took posses-sion of the boat, the engine had been taken out and there were two big holes in the stern. Most of the deck was gone. Holes had been cut in the fuel tanks, which were made out of plywood and fi berglass.
“They were full of leaves and water. There was no saving them,” Staples said.
The boat had had a huge fi sh box that would hold about 10,000 pounds of fi sh.
“I had to completely gut all that and take out the old fi sh box… and get down to the bare bones,” he said.
But before any of that could take place, Staples had to con-vince his wife, Carolyn, of taking on the boat building project.
“It took me six months to talk my wife into letting me get it,” Staples said. He fi nally gave Santucci the money, plus a little extra to deliver it to his 30-foot by 60-foot carport in the backyard.
Staples, along with his son Allen, Caleb Brown, Pat Meyers and others have all had a little hand in the project.
“It was basically just a hull,” Staples said. “I had to fi x the holes in the back. I built the strut. The engine I bought brand new from Two Tony’s and the fuel tanks were built by James McArdle and it holds 300 gallons of fuel.”
Staples said it has a 430 die-sel engine it, “so hopefully it will scoot along pretty good.”
He said his plans were to launch it this week, but because of bad weather, he’s looking to
put it in the water next week at Joe’s Bayou boat launch.
Not his fi rst rodeoThis is not Staples’ fi rst time
to build a boat in his back yard. “Nawh, this is my third one,”
he said. The fi rst was the Striker, a 32-footer and the second was the Al-Lin, a 44-footer that he currently charters out of Fishing Fleet Marina.
The Striker took two years. “Me and my dad put it togeth-
er while I was teaching school,” he said. “The Al-Lin was a seven-year project because I was still running the Striker and building my house and starting a family ... that was all in the same seven-year period,” he said.
Although he had to talk his wife into letting him get this one, she said she is proud of his work.
“It’s just amazing,” says his wife, Carolyn. “How did you know how to do all this?” she asks him.
“I had a good teacher,” he responded.
It’s Harold’s attention to detail that most impresses Carolyn.
“He knows where every lit-tle wire and every little screw goes,” she said. “I’m very proud of him.”
“My dad was the crafts-man,” Staples said. “He always had a boat going in the yard somewhere.”
As a matter of fact, Staples has a board on the wall of his workshop with a list of 10 big boats that his father has had a hand in. Several were named after family members and one even after a neighbor.
In addition to building boats, his dad also crafted his own fi sh-ing lures. Staples still has the molds in an old wooden box in his workshop.
Staples says he learned most of what he knows about boat building from his dad, Harold Sr.
“The rest of it was from trial and error and using common sense and seeing what needs to be done,” he said.
With Staples just days away from putting the Silver Hook in the water he said: “I’ve got an-other one lined up after this one — if she’ll let me do it. It’s a little 22-footer.”
Capt. Staples’ passion lies in building boatsHOOKED

Capt. Harold Staples plans to launch his 36-foot charter boat, named the Silver Hook after his dad’s last boat, sometime next week at Joe’s Bayou. Inset, Staples shows off one of the molds that his father, Harold Sr., made for making fi shing lures. He still has them in a wooden box in his workshop.
Staples says one would think it’s hard to work in his workshop, but he said he knows exactly where everything is located.
Capt. Harold Staples says he’s “addicted” to building boats.

LYNN HAVEN — Nat Dixon stole the show. Holmes County stole the victory.
Dixon powered Mosley with a game-high 38 points, but Holmes County phenom Chris Walker was the differ-ence down the stretch as the Blue Devils rallied for a 77-70 win in a matinee boys basketball game at the Jim Redfern Gymnasium on Friday.
Walker, who has commit-ted to the University of Flor-ida and is rated consistently as one of the dozen best bas-ketball prospects in Ameri-ca, scored 11 of his 15 points in the game’s fi nal 3 minutes to cap his team’s comeback from a double-digit defi cit to start the fourth quarter. The Blue Devils (13-8) outscored Mosley 31-12 in the fi nal quarter.
“When we got back in the game, we didn’t need to shoot any more threes,” Hol-mes County coach Po White said. “We could go back in-side to our big guy (Walker). He helped us take the lead.”
Mosley (7-17) led 58-46 after three quarters, but a 17-2 run by the Blue Devils obliterated that margin and resulted in a 61-60 lead on Walker’s baseline drive and layin with 3 minutes remain-ing. Dixon later fi red in a 3-pointer to give the Dolphins a 65-63 edge with 2:23 left, but that was the last time Mosley enjoyed the lead. Walker’s steal and ensuing dunk put Holmes County on top 66-65 with 2 minutes remaining, and he added another dunk following a Mosley turnover for a 68-65 advantage 13 sec-onds later.
Dixon gave the Dolphins hope with a 3-pointer to trim his team’s defi cit to 72-70 with 36 seconds left, but Walker, Ty Russ and Jacky Miles Jr. combined to make fi ve of six free throws in the fi nal half-minute to seal the win. Walker also swatted away two shots in the fi nal 40 seconds, fi nishing with seven blocks in all.
White said Walker just learned he has been in-

DUEL OF THE TIGERS
RANDAL SEYLER | The News
The Chipley Tigers played their last game of the regular season at the CHS gymnasium Friday, defeating the Graceville Tigers 78-58, The gym was packed to capacity with Chipley and Graceville fans. In Junior Varsity action, Graceville topped Chipley 35-24.
vited to the McDonald’s All-American Game, where he will compete against the nation’s premier players at the United Center in Chi-cago on April 3. Although he went scoreless in the second and third quarters against Mosley, the length, talent and explosiveness all were apparent throughout the contest.
Many Mosley fans who derided Walker with chants of “overrated” early in the game were the same people chanting “We want Chris!” in the waning minutes of the third quarter as Walker was catching a breather on the bench.
Mosley has its own star player in Dixon, of course. The junior scored eight points in a 20-2 run spanning the fi rst and second quar-ters, and Dixon fi nished with 16 points in the fi rst half as Mosley built a 35-26 lead. He shredded Holmes County’s defense for 16 of Mosley’s 23 points in the third quarter, and the Dolphins led by as many as 16 points (48-32).
Walker said his team was
fortunate to overcome the defi cit.
“Sometimes in the fi rst half we start off slow,” Walk-er said. “In the second half we picked it up. We showed a lot of heart.”
Russ led Holmes County with 19 points and a 9-for-9 effort from the foul line, and Miles added 14 points. Additionally, Clay Keen and Chris Newton were huge off the bench. Keen dropped in four 3-pointers en route to 16 points, and Newton chipped in with 11.
Mosley’s Tequan Ward fl irted with foul trouble for much of the game but still managed to score 12 points. Josh Turner added nine points inside for the Dolphins.

CHIPLEY — The Washing-
ton County School Board
approved the 22-plus acre
site between South Boule-
vard and Brickyard Road as
the future home of Kate M.
Smith Elementary School
on Monday night.
District Maintenance
Director Mike Park re-
viewed the process the Site
Selection Committee had
gone through in choosing
the new location for the
school.“This has been an on-
going process of about 20
years,” Park said, “and
over the years, some of
the names on the commit-
tee changed.” In October
the Department of Educa-
tion visited the elementary
school to determine the
need for a new facility. Five
days later, DOE issued the
fi nding that there was a
“critical need” for a new
elementary school in Chi-
pley, Park said.
With that information,
the selection committee
met in late December and
again on Jan. 3 to discuss
the choice of school site,
which came down to either
stay at the current loca-
tion, or move the school
to the 22-plus acre tract of
land the district owns that
stretches between South
Boulevard and Brickyard
Road.Not all of the committee
members were able to at-
tend the Jan. 3 meeting, so
Park polled the committee
last week at Superintendent
Joe Taylor’s request, and
the committee recom-
mended relocating the
elementary school to the
new site.“With the funding, this
is likely to be a two-year or
three-year funding cycle,”
Park said. “That was an im-
portant consideration, we
really don’t want to try and
have construction going on
while we are also having
school.”

PONCE de LEON — The Ponce de Leon Lady Pi-rates earned their spot as District 3 champions after defeating the Cottondale Lady Hornets 50-23 on Saturday.
Hannah Howell had 10 points and 10 rebounds to lead Ponce de Leon to its ninth straight district championship. Jordan Thomas added 11 points and four rebounds and Ash-ley Harper chipped in nine points and four rebounds for the Pirates (22-5).
The Lady Hornets fought hard to turn the tides to the game into their favor however they were
not able to maintain their gain as the Lady Pirates quickly knocked the wind out of their sails ending the second period with a score of 31-11.
The Lady Hornets start-ed the third period aggres-sively, perhaps a little too aggressively as the third period were full of penalty shots in favor of the Lady Pirates and ended the third period with a score of 44-19.
The game reached its climax in the last period, the Lady Hornets try-ing to regain ground but proved for not as the Lady Pirates pressed on their campaign to victory, end-ing the game with a score of 50-23.
“They played excellent-
ly,” said Head Coach Tim Alford. “To win the District 3 Championships is very
important to these girls. They’ve worked so very hard to get to this point.”
Ponce de Leon opens the Region 2-1A tourna-ment against visiting Port
St. Joe Feb. 12. Cotton-dale opens at District 4-1A champion South Walton.

Many pet owners love spending time with their furry friend outside, but during the cold winter months pet owners need to take special precautions to ensure that their pet stays warm and healthy when the temperature drops.
“The good thing is that for most areas of Texas, even the winter months do not get cold enough to cause serious problems in our pets or even most large animals,” said Alison Diesel, lecturer at the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary
Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. “The thick coats of most domestic
animal species are sufficient to provide protection from the cold here in Texas, but on the rare occasion of a colder day some other things could be considered.”
One precaution pet owners must take is making sure dogs, cats, and other large animal species have an adequate defense from the cold when they are outside.
“Making sure blankets are available and dry can be extremely helpful for
this purpose,” said Diesel. “Also, as with people, turning up the heat can help keep our pets warm as well.”
For smaller pets simply keeping them inside during the colder times can be the most beneficial. Nonetheless, short exposure to the outside cold can be fine and is usually not detrimental to the pet’s health.
“Dogs and cats shiver a lot like people. This action is used to help generate body heat in cold climates,” Diesel said. “If your pet shivers while outside, shorten the length of your trips together to help reduce this
trembling. Providing extra bedding like blankets and towels will also keep your pets warm and cozy.”
For larger pets that cannot come inside, making sure they have an adequate outdoor shelter is important to their comfort and safety. Shelters such as dog houses and stables can be very helpful during cold winds, and should have extra bedding (blankets, towels, hay, etc.) added for additional warmth.
“An important thing to remember for outdoor pets is to make sure they always have a fresh supply of water,” Diesel said. “If it gets cold enough to freeze
this should be checked regularly to make sure the water doesn’t freeze over. Moving water sources like fountains are less likely to do this.”
Conditions like frostbite and hypothermia, while not typical in warmer climates like Texas, are severe conditions that are common in colder climates.
“Dehydration is a
possibility as well if your pet’s water source freezes over,” Diesel said.

Left: Rojo is a 6- to 7-year-old male red heeler cross, about 40 pounds. He is very scared in the shelter and seems sad and depressed. It seems he lost someone he cared about. Despite his fear, he is friendly and enjoys being pet and even rolled over for a belly rub. He needs a new friend to give him love, and he will give the love back. He may be a bit older than the other dogs but he still has lots of love to share. Right: Gidget is a 1-year-old female terrier/lab mix, about 30 pounds. She walks well on a leash and is very loving and calm. She is a real cutie, slightly fluffy with adorable half erect ears. She is quite laid back for her age, very curious and attentive, it should be easy to teach her most anything you would like her to do. Your command is her wish.

Bear Wrongs PatientlyThe fifth spiritual work of mercy is to bear wrongs patiently. Bearing wrongs patiently does not, how-ever, mean being a doormat for others to walk on. It simply means that, regardless of the wrongs which we suffer, we should bear them all patiently. For ex-ample, if you have had something stolen from your unlocked car, this virtue requires that you treat this with patience and equanimity, but not that you con-tinue to keep your car unlocked. It is more about the attitude that you have concerning the wrong done to you. We might take a lesson from the ancient stoics, who counseled that every event has two handles, as it were, one by which it can be borne and one by which it is unbearable. Remember that everything here is temporary and that liars, thieves, and even murderers really have no power over our immortal souls. Finally, consider the example of Jesus in his last days. Faced with false charges and inhuman torture and suffering, he prayed for his accusers and tormentors. We should show patience by praying for those who wrong us, realizing that they are the ones who have truly been harmed by their misdeeds.

Under normal circumstances, I am a rather cool, calm and collected person. I say normal because not everything in my life is normal. It takes a lot to rattle this cage of mine, but once rattled lookout, whoever rattles it.
I am saying all this to get to my point, which is, somebody hacked my computer email account this past week. If you think I will take this sitting down, oh, I guess I am sitting down right now, but I assure you I will not stand for something like this. I have never been so rattled in my life.
If a mistake is mine, I will own up to it. If it is not mine, lookout, sender.
The fi rst thing I did was to call my cousin who is an attorney, Charles Sues-A-Lot, and laid the case out before him. My fi rst question to my cousin attorney was very basic: “Is it still against the law to murder someone?”
As all good attorneys do, he hesitated and thought about it.
He then went on to explain that if he could prove insanity, there was a good chance he could get somebody off very lightly.
“Insanity,” I said. “Is that hard to prove in a court of law?”
At this point, there was no hesitation whatsoever. My good lawyer cousin said, “Not in your case.”
If insanity runs in our family, I am convinced it trotted over into his pasture a long time ago and has been milling around for years.
At this point, murder is out.If I actually knew who this person
was, I could “defriend” them like they do on Facebook. You can be sure I would defriend him with all of the sarcastic bitterness I could muster on that hot dog.
I noticed this last week when I accessed my email a bunch of different pop-ups popped up on my screen. Instinctively I tried to unpop them without any success
whatsoever. Every time there was a “pop-up,” I had the instinctive desire to pop someone in the nose.
At one stage, it got out of control, and about 17,000 pop-ups jumped onto my computer screen at the
same time. Without thinking, I immediately turned off my computer.
If anybody knows what I did, you realize what I did was a terrible thing to do. I encrypted, or whatever the term is, these pop-ups permanently on my computer. When I opened up my computer, it was pop-up time for the hacker.
Things can be done to “unhack” your computer, which I put in full force. I really wanted to hack into this hacker’s life, except he probably does not have one. I mean, after all, where are the jollies of hacking into someone’s email account? I can see someone hacking into my bank account. I would love to see someone hack into my bank account and see how much money I don’t have.
If I was a small government, I could see somebody trying to hack into my email accounts. As it stands, where is the payoff in doing something like this? This ghost hacker cannot see me and my frustration after being hacked. So, what is the good of it all?
These pop-ups on my computer were coming fast and furious.
Then it hit me. This is not some ghost hacker hacking into my email account; it must be the government. The government must be behind it. I remember something called “fast and furious” in the news a while back. Was this what they were talking about? Am I now a casualty of Big Brother-itis?
There were many similarities between what I was going through and our government.
First off, the whole thing was rather annoying. I am not sure there has ever been a time in our country when the government has been more
annoying than now.Then, all the hacking did not make
any sense to me at all. How much of the government is really making sense to anybody anymore? I am sure there is somebody, somewhere who can make sense out of our government, but he is probably on the run.
All of this hacking of my email has interrupted my life. So has the government. The government has taken on a new phase where it is not happy unless it is interrupting my life every day of the week. I would not mind so much if the government would take at least one day a week off. But no, it is a 24/7 kind of annoyance.
A friend of mine said that everybody goes through this sort of thing, and it is kind of an equal share in the misery of being on the Internet.
Equal share? That’s government lingo if ever I heard it.
After three days of torturous working at my computer, I fi nally got the pop-ups to stop. I changed the password of my email account and brought all of this nonsense to a stop.
I won the battle against that blasted hacker who tried to ruin my week.
With a steaming cup of coffee and my open Bible, I read some comforting words. “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4 KJV).
My relationship is of such a nature with God that nobody can hack into that relationship. I rest completely in God’s competent hands.

Sponsored by the Ala-bama Peanut Producers Association and the Florida Peanut Producers Associa-tion, the one-day event offers farmers the opportunity to view the products and ser-vices of more than 70 exhibi-tors. The show opens at 8:30 am central time followed by a catered lunch at 12 noon. The afternoon’s events in-clude a seed and production seminar as well as a legisla-tive update.
“We invite and encourage all peanut farmers to attend this year’s Peanut Trade Show,” said Ken Barton, ex-ecutive director of the Florida
Peanut Producers Associa-tion. “It’s a great opportunity for farmers to see the latest, most up-to-date advances in peanut production and har-vesting equipment and visit with vendors that provide products and services to pea-nut farmers. The afternoon seminars will provide cur-rent information that will be helpful as you make plans for the 2013 production year.”
Thousands of dollars in door prizes will be offered. Cash prizes, gift cards, pea-nut seed, a shotgun and many more. KMC will offer the Grand Door Prize, which is one season’s use of a 4 or 6-row KMC peanut combine with the option to purchase at a reduced price at the end of the harvest season.

based must contain the following information: (a) The name and ad-dress of each agency affected and each agency’s file or identifi-cation number, if known; (b) The name, address and telephone number of the peti-tioner; the name ad-dress and telephone number of the petition-er’s representative, if any, which shall be the address for service pur-poses during the course of the proceed-ing; and an explanation of how the petitioner’s substantial rights will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when and how the petitioner received notice of the agency action or pro-posed decision; (d) A statement of all dis-puted issues of mate-rial fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate; (e) A con-cise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner con-tends warrant reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed ac-tion; (f) A statement of the specific rules or statutes the petitioner contends require rever-sal or modification of the agency’s proposed action including an ex-planation of how the al-leged facts relate to the specific rules or stat-utes; and, (g) A state-ment of the relief sought by the peti-tioner, stating precisely the action the petitioner wishes the agency to take with respect to the agency’s proposed ac-tion. A petition that does not dispute the material facts upon which the Permitting Authority’s action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C.Because the adminis-trative hearing process is designed to formu-late final agency action, the filing of a petition means that the Permitt-ing Authority’s final ac-tion may be different from the position taken by it in this Public No-tice of Intent to Issue Air Permit. Persons whose substantial inter-ests will be affected by any such final decision of the Permitting Au-thority on the applica-tion have the right to petition to become a party to the proceed-ing, in accordance with the requirements set forth above.Mediation: Mediation is not available for this proceeding.Objections: Finally, pursuant to 42 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 7661d(b)(2), any person may peti-tion the Administrator of the EPA within 60 days of the expiration of the Administrator’s 45-day review period as established at 42 U.S.C. Section 7661d(b)(1), to object to the issuance of any Title V air operation permit. Any petition shall be based only on objections to the Permit that were raised with reasonable specificity during the 30-day pub-lic comment period provided in the Public Notice, unless the peti-tioner demonstrates to the Administrator of the EPA that it was imprac-ticable to raise such objections within the comment period or un-less the grounds for such objection arose after the comment pe-riod. Filing of a petition with the Administrator of the EPA does not stay the effective date of any permit properly issued pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 62-213, F.A.C. Peti-tions filed with the Ad-ministrator of EPA must meet the requirements of 42 U.S.C. Section 7661d(b)(2) and must be filed with the Admin-istrator of the EPA at: U.S. EPA, 401 M Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.

Inter-ested persons may contact the Permitting Authority’s project re-view engineer for addi-tional information at the address or phone num-ber listed above.Notice of Intent to Is-sue Permit: The Per-mitting Authority gives notice of its intent to is-sue a draft Title V air operation permit re-newal to the applicant for the project de-scribed above. The ap-plicant has provided reasonable assurance that continued opera-tion of the existing equipment will not ad-versely impact air qual-ity and that the project will comply with all ap-propriate provisions of Chapters 62-4, 62-204, 62-210, 62-212, 62-213, 62-296 and 62-297, F.A.C. The Permitting Authority will issue a proposed permit and subsequent final permit in accordance with the conditions of the draft permit unless a re-sponse received in ac-cordance with the fol-lowing procedures re-sults in a different deci-sion or a significant change of terms or conditions.Comments: The Per-mitting Authority will accept written com-ments concerning the draft Title V air opera-tion permit for a period of 30 days from the date of publication of the Public Notice. Writ-ten comments must be received by the close of business (5:00 p.m.), on or before the end of this 30-day period by the Permitting Authority at the above address. As part of his or her comments, any person may also request that the Permitting Authority hold a public meeting on this permitting ac-tion. If the Permitting Authority determines there is sufficient inter-est for a public meet-ing, it will publish no-tice of the time, date, and location in the Flor-ida Administrative Weekly (FAW). If a public meeting is re-quested within the 30-day comment pe-riod and conducted by the Permitting Author-ity, any oral and written comments received during the public meet-ing will also be consid-ered by the Permitting Authority. If timely re-ceived written com-ments or comments re-ceived at a public meeting result in a sig-nificant change to the draft permit, the Per-mitting Authority shall issue a revised draft permit and require, if applicable, another Public Notice. All com-ments filed will be made available for pub-lic inspection. For ad-ditional information, contact the Permitting Authority at the above address or phone num-ber.Petitions: A person whose substantial inter-ests are affected by the proposed permitting decision may petition for an administrative hearing in accordance with Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. The petition must contain the information set forth below and must be filed with (received by) the Department’s Agency Clerk in the Of-fice of General Counsel of the Department of Environmental Protec-tion, 3900 Common-wealth Boulevard, Mail Station #35, Tallahas-see, Florida 32399-3000. Petitions filed by the applicant or any of the parties listed below must be filed within 14 days of re-ceipt of this Written No-tice of Intent to Issue Air Permit. Petitions filed by any persons other than those enti-tled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), F.S., must be filed within 14 days of publication of the at-tached Public Notice or within 14 days of re-ceipt of this Written No-tice of Intent to Issue Air Permit, whichever occurs first. Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who asked the Permitt-ing Authority for notice of agency action may file a petition within 14 days of receipt of that notice, regardless of the date of publication. A petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the ad-dress indicated above, at the time of filing. The failure of any per-son to file a petition within the appropriate time period shall con-stitute a waiver of that person’s right to re-quest an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S., or to intervene in this pro-ceeding and participate as a party to it. Any subsequent interven-tion (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the approval of the pre-siding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C.A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Permitting Authority’s action is
