CHIPLEY — For most of us, our job is more than just work — it’s a large part of how we defi ne ourselves, who we are.

For Sunny Hills resident Virginia Lee Sword, having a job also means having a reason to get out among peo-ple and live her life once again.

“It was about much more than just getting a job. It was about getting my self back,” Sword said during an inter-view on Thursday at the Goodwill In-dustries – Big Bend Inc. Career Train-ing Center in Chipley.

CARYVILLE — Returning Town Coun-cil Members Nora Curry and Jim Taylor were sworn in after running unopposed during the regular meet-ing of the Caryville Town Council on Oct. 8.

Election of the council’s chairman and co-chairman was postponed until the next meeting because of the ab-sence of Chairman Henry Chambers.

“I want to give a hats off to Caryville Flea Market’s Paron Beeco,” Council Member Millard French said. “He has brought in the biggest crowd Caryville has ever seen with the fl ea market.”

Beeco confi rmed the crowd had reached record highs for this year’s Flea Across Florida, which was a fl ea market event on Sept. 13 and 14 stretching 272 miles from Live Oak to Pensacola held along U.S. 90. The event had a counted attendance of 6,839 visitors.

“I’d like to take this chance to thank the Florida Department of Corrections for allowing us to use in-mates for the majority of the labor,” Beeco said. “The band was requested to return, and we had over 45 vendors that most of them has assured they will return for the next Flea Across Florida, which is in 180 days and will only be a two-day event. We’ll also be holding a Christmas Holiday Sale on Dec. 13 and 14.”

He also reported the council might have a food vendor to attend every Saturday offering lunch specials

WAUSAU — Gone, but not forgotten, former city clerk Margaret Riley was the topic of discussion at Thursday’s Wausau Town

Council meeting.Riley, who retired from

the city in September, fi lled in a few days earlier this month when the town’s new clerk JoAnn Hayes was called out of town.

“As you know, JoAnn had a bad situation down south,

and Margaret fi lled in for her several days,” Mayor B.J. Phillips said. “I think we should give her some sort of reimbursement for her days here.”

Phillips said he thought Riley should be paid for her time, and the town

council agreed.“She shouldn’t be up

here for free,” Phillips said. “Besides, we are go-ing to need her help again at the end of the year, and we don’t want her telling

DID YOU KNOW?DISABILITY EMPLOYMENT AWARENESS

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, a national campaign that raises awareness about disability employment issues and celebrates the many and varied contributions of America’s workers with disabilities. The theme for 2013 is “Because We Are EQUAL to the Task.”

NDEAM’s roots go back to 1945, when Congress enacted a law declaring the fi rst week in October each year “National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week.” In 1962, the word “physically” was removed to acknowledge the employment needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to “National Disability Employment Awareness Month.”

CHIPLEY — Vernon High School student Jessica Young gave the Washington County School Board an update on the district’s Stu-dents Working Against To-bacco program at Monday’s board meeting in Chipley.

Young, 16, reported the SWAT and Tobacco Free Partnership students have been active at the Water-

melon Festival, Possum Festival and Relay for Life among other events, work-ing to bring awareness of the anti-tobacco program to children and adults.

“We’ve distributed post-ers, coloring books and other items,” Young said. “We’re always looking for new ways to get our mes-sage to the kids.”

SWAT, along with the Tobacco Free Partnership, works to get the message out to school children that

using tobacco is not a good idea.

SWAT is Florida’s statewide youth organiza-tion working to mobilize, educate and equip Florida youth to revolt against and de-glamorize Big Tobacco,” according to the website, fl oridahealth.gov.

Groups like SWAT and Tobacco Free Florida are working to make sure as many teens as possible nev-er start using tobacco.

Preventing tobacco use

and encouraging cessation among young people are critical in combating the tobacco epidemic because almost nine out of 10 smok-ers start by age 18.

Despite the progress in reducing the number of smokers, an estimated 18,900 youth (younger than 18) in Florida will become new cigarette smokers this year, according to the website tobaccofreefl orida.org. Of every three young smokers, only one will quit,

and one of those remaining smokers will die from to-bacco-related causes.

“Data shows the number of youth who try or habitu-ally use tobacco increases with each increasing grade level,” Tobacco Free Flor-ida Bureau Chief Shannon Hughes said. “As students go back to school, now is a perfect time for parents to talk with their kids about the dangers of tobacco use.”

Sword suffered a horse-riding injury that left her in a coma for two months in 1998, and a few years later, she was involved in an al-most fatal car wreck that left her needing reconstructive facial surgery.

Her prolonged time spent on a respirator in the hospi-tal left her with a whisper of a voice and chronic respira-tory problems — and the traumatic ordeals left her unable to work for years.

“Lee was referred to the Job Club by her vocational rehabilitation,” Employment Specialist CeCe Richards said. “When she got her, she had a bit of an attitude, but after a while, she was lead-ing the club meetings.”

“When I first came I just sat over in that corner,” Sword admits. “I wasn’t go-ing to do anything. I just wanted to stay home on my

couch with my dog.”The Job Club is a weekly

group that teaches job seek-ers soft skills, such as self-presentation, dependability, motivation, team building and anger management, among other skills, Richards said.

“Clients who are in our placement program are required to come to Job Club each week so they can learn skills such as how to interview or how to handle criticism from an employer,” Richards said.

Goodwill Industries be-gan in 1902 as a program to collect discarded items then put disadvantaged people to work repairing the items so they could support them-selves and their families, said Heather Gioia, director of public relations for Good-will Industries – Big Bend.

“For years the empha-

sis was on working with the disabled, and that is still a large part of what we do,” Gioia said. “But we also help anyone who needs help with finding a job.”

Goodwill Industries also helps people overcome ob-stacles such as poverty, homelessness or education-al challenges.

“We offer a systemic approach to the client’s needs,” Richards said. “If they come in with only an eighth grade education, we have programs to get them ready to take the GED, then we have programs for

testing for GED. After that, we have classes in various computer skills and even certification.”

Richards said Goodwill Industries – Big Bend works with employers in the area, including temp services such as Manpower in Do-than, to connect employees with jobs.

“We have employers who come to us first, because they know what kind of train-ing we are giving our em-ployees,” Richards said.

Goodwill Industries – Big Bend also has con-tract services for janitorial

and landscaping jobs that are manned by clients, 80 percent of whom are dis-abled. The contract program works through RESPECT, a Florida-based, legislatively created program that allows governmental entities to purchase commodities and services they need while providing employment op-portunities to Floridians with disabilities.

For Virginia Lee Sword, what Goodwill Industries – Big Bend was able to do was more than just find her a job.

“I came out of my shell,” Sword said. “At first, I was just showing up, but after a while, Miss CeCe really got to me.”

A little over a year ago, Sword was hired by Sam’s Club in Panama City Beach, where she currently works as a greeter. Richards says

Sword is constantly being praised by her employers for her bubbly personality and work ethic.

“At first it was tough, I didn’t think I could stand and work for eight hours,” Sword said. “But over time, I built up to it, and now I can work no problem.” Sword is still undergoing rehabilita-tion for her respiratory and vocal ailments, but she no longer sits at home all day watching TV.

“My mother encouraged me to continue to come to Job Club, and if it wasn’t for Job Club and Miss CeCe, I don’t think I would be where I am today,” Sword said.

“Sam’s Club has also been great. They’ve really helped me and have been very supportive of me,” Sword said. “And besides, they pay me to talk to people. I love my job.”

us she’s busy,” he added, jokingly.

Phillips said Riley said she did not care whether she was paid or not.

Councilman Dallas Carter made a motion that Riley be paid for her time at her former rate of pay, and the council approved the motion.

Phillips said Septem-ber had been a busy month for the city. Not only had it changed city clerks, the town council had had to hold public hearings and ap-prove a budget for next year, and they also had dealt with FEMA and a pair of Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program ap-plications the city submit-ted seeking funds to make improvements in two city parks.

One $200,000 grant would be used to improve the Dalton Carter Recreation

Center, also known as the Possum Palace, where the city would like to resurface the parking lot, renovate the tennis courts, picnic facili-ties, basketball courts and restrooms, add an exercise trail, upgrade the camping area and add additional play-ground equipment among other improvements.

The other $200,000 would go toward improvements at George Rogers Park, where the city hopes to renovate the playground, enhance the handicapped parking area and renovate the restrooms, picnic facilities and baseball field. The recreation com-mittee would also like to add additional playground equip-ment, a basketball court, ad-ditional parking at the skate-board park, an exercise trail and a covered picnic facility, as well as expand the skate-board park.

“Everything has been

up in the air for the past 30-45 days. It’s been a hectic month,” Phillips said.

Councilwoman Marlene Blount gave the council an update on the city’s water bill collections. They dis-cussed six accounts specifi-cally that have either been shut off or are about to be shut off, but overall, the city has only $3,600 in accounts that are in arrears.

“That’s a lot better than the $28,000 it was last year,” Phillips said.

“It’s a bad situation for some of these people, but something has to be done about it,” Councilman Charles Park Sr said.

The city has instituted a policy of cutting off water services on the 25th of the month once an account goes 30 days in arrears.

“We just have to do it. We can’t let it get back up like it was,” Phillips said.

between $5 and $7. Beeco also requested the council consider connecting water to be available at the flea market and suggested it be locked up and regulated like the electricity.

Caryville Volunteer Fire Department will hold a fall festival at the fire depart-ment on Oct. 26.

The council approved of Caryville’s Halloween ob-servance from 5-7 p.m. on Oct. 31.

French recommended that the Caryville Fire De-partment look into the pos-sibility of establishing a Women’s Auxiliary Club.

“Those women can do

just about anything, and I believe that you’re missing out on a lot of additional funds by not utilizing their talent and hard work,” French said.

Caryville Town Attorney Lyndia Spears informed the council she received a let-ter for the Holmes County Supervisor of Elections requesting Spears write a letter to verify she has ad-dressed an issue involving French’s residency.

Spears apologized about the inconvenience, but as a formality, they must take the steps required to dispel any doubt of his residency.

“Caryville has a very spe-

cific ordinance about being a resident of Caryville, and we must address these issues when they arrive,” Spears said. “You’ve done all you were supposed to do and all that you could do. We’ve had issues like this arise before, and all I advised you to do is to just respond.”

French explained his property was inherited and was split between his brother and him. He said he took the property with the house and his brother took the property with the café, French’s Restaurant.

The council approved of allowing Taylor to look into the possibility of holding a

gospel sing at the Caryville Worm Fiddling Building.

“Bonifay’s done away with their all-night gospel sing, so I think this is an ex-cellent opportunity to give it a shot,” Taylor said.

Before approving the monthly budget, French in-quired about a payment of $300, which was confirmed to be payment for four months of rent for a portable toilet at the flea market.

Beeco informed the coun-cil the toilet was cleaned once a month at a charge of $75 but had been locked up and unable to be used since Sept. 15. He also informed the council that the portable

toilet service he rents is $65 and is cleaned once a week plus any additional times.

“So you’re saying we’re paying $75 a month for a toi-let that we’re not even using and is only pumped out once a month?” French asked. “I’m just saying that there’s something wrong with this picture.”

Council Member Ran-som Works strongly advised that the council not do any-thing hasty and council agreed to allow the town to research other available services before terminating services with their current portable toilet provider.

During a special called

session on Sept. 19, the coun-cil approved of Resolution 13-003, which is a resolution for the town of Caryville to maintain the right-of-ways on U.S. 90 within the town limits of Caryville for the amount of $9,349.56 per year to be paid by the Florida De-partment of Transportation.

“We’ll be paid per quar-ter, and we only have to mow seven times a year and pick up trash 12 times a year,” French said. “It’s a fair deal for the town.”

The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Caryville Town Council is 6 p.m. on Nov. 12 at the Caryville Town Hall.

Soon after the printing of the “Heritage of Washington County” book in 2006, your writer, realized that many stories and histories on a host of families, were not submitted for publication. One such family story was that of Joel Potter, whose time in history became an integral part of the area’s heritage.

Don Renfro, was a part-time News Staff Writer for the Washington County News. His regular employment was Bailiff in the court system, working under the direction of then Sheriff, Fred Peel. Don’s article entitled “Log Cabins To Rockets — Potter has Seen It All” was featured in the above newspaper on March 18, 1983. Much of his writing will be used in today’s “Prattle.”

At the time Don was writing, the former log cabin home of the Potter family had just been acquired by the Wells Family and relocated to the Northwest Florida Music Park and Campground. It was part of the early days museum started by the Wellses.

Joel Potter and his son, Allen Potter, cooperated in this endeavor, which resulted in the longtime resident spending many hours in the park and in the old log cabin. He became somewhat of an unoffi cial guide in furnishing details of the cabin’s history to those who made visits there. Some visitors added artifacts and antiques to the array of items in the building.

Don Renro listed Joel Potter’s age at 83 when his article was written. He pointed out that he would of necessity have to write about the history of the log cabin and Mr. Potter simultaneously, as the story on one would be incomplete without the other.

Two old, badly rusted, porch chairs were included in the items that were brought into the music park along with the aged edifi ce. Joel Potter explained that he purchased these two popular chairs for his mother in 1948 three years after he had moved the old log house from its original location, Holmes

Valley south of Vernon. His mother had requested that the structure be moved to the Old Bonifay Road to serve as her home after she had agreed to live in

Chipley near her son.

Mr. Potter enjoyed sitting in these old chairs while relating history of the cabin and those who had occupied it in the past.

Potter’s history goes back to his

great grandfather, Levi Potter, who brought his bride to the fertile lands of Holmes Valley from North Carolina after their marriage in 1819.

Levi’s son, Rufus, took a wife, and in 1848 he “raised” a fi ne house for his bride. They lived there together for only 12 years when, sadly, Rufus was killed on a Saturday afternoon, Sept.19,1863 at a place called Chicamauga during the Civil War.

Before Rufus Potter departed for the war, his wife bore a son, Alexander, or Alex Potter. He remained with the mother keeping the farm, raising crops and breaking oxen. In 1891 when Alex met the girl he decided to marry, she inquired as to where they would live. When Alex told her that they would live with his mother, Don Renfro quotes Joel Potter in saying that the prospective bride told Alex: “Oh no! You make me a home of my own. Then I’ll come and make you a home for you.”

According to the story, the cabin was “raised” within a week.

Within a year, the elder Mrs. Potter died and the old house became the home of Alex and his family. Reportedly, this log cabin was then moved adjacent to the home and became the separate kitchen for the family where a total of six children were reared.

This development allowed Joel Potter to explain in his conversation with guests at the log cabin museum that: “My mother used this cabin for a kitchen and dining room for as long as they lived on the old home place.”

He would further state that: “Before my marriage,

this very cabin is the only place that I ever ate a meal prepared by my mother.”

In the interview with journalist Don Refro, Joel Potter explained, while looking around the old historic house “In those days life was different, and life was hard, but they were enjoyable years.” He talked of oxen transportation and of hunting and trapping wild life, which were plentiful in the area. He related an instance of shooting a large fox where the pelt brought him $16 from which he paid $14 for a Gramaphone ordered from Sears Roebuck and Company.

Joel Potter met and married Velma Sirmans Potter from Dupont, Georgia after she came to Florida to teach school. He was in the hotel business for 20 to 25 years before the onset of World War II caused that industry to hit rock bottom. While away from Washington County, he was elected to the Florida Legislature in 1941 from Marion County.

Upon returning home, he resumed his farming venture and was elected again to the Florida House of Representatives in 1945. While in this position, he is credited with securing legislation which brought the fi rst Washington County Hospital to Washington County in 1947.

Mrs. Potter died in 1968

and Mr. Potter passed away several years after her death. They had one daughter, Patsy Potter Kickliter, of Tallahassee, who also has one daughter, Laura.

Their son, Allen Potter, married Jane Saunders Potter and they made their home here. Allen served as District Secretary for the Florida Department of Transportation, District Three (Chipley Offi ce) from 1978-1987. He passed away in 2000. Allen and Jane had a son, Wesley (Wes) Allen, and daughters, Grace and Meg. Wesley passed away in 1991. Grace is employed with Adam Putnam, Commissioner of Agriculture for the State of Florida and resides in Tallahassee. Meg lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and is employed part time with an attorney. The mother, Jane, still resides in area on the property owned by the Potter Family.

Joel Potter lived to see the exploration of space, men walking on the moon, and two world wars. Scores of other progress were observed ed by this pioneer. His place in history deserves more than this sketchy article is able to afford him, It was my pleasure to know Mr. Joel Potter. Time spent with him was always a learning experience.

See you all next week.

Potter’s life journey: log cabins to Space Age

PERRY’S PRATTLEPerry Wells

Joel Potter as he reminisces on front porch of his original home, the log cabin, then situated in the North West Florida Music Park and Campground. It is now on the property of Bob and Linda Wells located on Highway 277, just south of Hard Labor Creek Bridge.

I have had a lot of feedback from the articles on the old homes. One in particular that excited me was to hear from Mr. Sidney Waits, the 90 year old grandson of Mr. G.O. Waits, the builder of the Waits Mansion and founder of Henderson-Waits Lumber Company that operated in Caryville in the 1920’s and 30’s. Mr. Sidney Waits has been instrumental in historic preservation in Andalusia, Al where the family resides and has written several booklets about the various homes and families that they represent. Communicating with him has been very encouraging to me and increases my hope that the Waits Mansion here can somehow be preserved.

I have learned that mail will be delivered in Bonifay despite the address being indefi nite. That is the advantage of living in a small town. Mr. Waits’ letter came to me in care of the Bonifay Paper as did another one I received last week from Harold Paulk who lives in Columbia. S.C. He was remembering some days at Bethlehem School

in the 1955-56 era and encouraged me to keep up the writing. He also sent an article from the N.Y. Times describing a newspaper in the Amish area that operates on local news written by the subscribers.

A phone call from Earl Drake, a lifelong Westville resident, introduced me to the Love Entangled Vine or the Love Vine which is native to the area, but which I’ve never heard of. It is a leafl ess parasitic plant

that is relatively rare, but is found in Holmes County entwining itself around other plants such as clover or fl ax. It has no known use nor is it particularly harmful; however, it can remain

dormant in the soil for as long as 60 years. The Native Americans are said to have had some use for them, but it must have been medicinal because the vine is tender and breaks easily even when it turns brown.

I asked my husband, the Agriculturalist, if he knew about the Love Vine and he said he did. He said that when they were children, they played a game with it, throwing it

toward each other and the one around whose neck it entwined would be the fi rst to fall in love. My search gave the scientifi c name as cyssytha/cuscuta or clematis Virginiana, a non-ornamental vine with no leaves and small yellow blooms. A common name is Devil’s gut and it comes from the laurel family.

I was more interested in Mr. Drake’s family’s farmstead as he described it. It is located west of Westville with the log home and detached kitchen intact. Brick chimneys on either side of the main house and the one for the kitchen building are standing in good condition. Bought by his grandparents, the T.W. Miller family, the cabin was built in 1848, the same year that Holmes County was formed as Florida’s 27th County. The logs and heart pine siding are in excellent condition. I assume the glass windows were a recent addition. Outbuildings include the barn, the corn crib, two chicken houses, a smoke house, a black smith shop, and a shed housing two syrup-making vats enclosed in brick furnaces with chimneys. Directly across from the house,

the buggy or wagon shed stands. Inside can be seen the framework for a horse drawn buggy and a mule drawn wagon.

The smoke house is reminiscent of the days when farms were entirely self-suffi cient and meat was raised and cured on the farm. The clothesline harks back to the day when the weekly laundry was boiled in a wash pot, scrubbed on a wash board, rinsed in zinc tubs from water drawn from an open well and hung outdoors to dry. The two syrup making vats make me think they were heavily into sugar cane production and syrup making or else one of the vats may have been used entirely for hog killing. They may have been scalded in one of the vats and then it would have been cleaned and dried to render the lard that the family would have used for preparing the family meals.

The property is now corporately owned and is used for game preservation and hunting, so it is not accessible to the public, but would be an ideal place to visit as a testimony to the way of life in frontier Holmes County when the Holmes County Court House was at Cero Gordo.

HAPPY CORNERHazel Wells Tison

Florida is suing Georgia over consuming too much of the fresh water that should be fl owing through the Peach State to the estuaries and oyster beds of the Panhandle. It is a lawsuit that has been a long time coming, as the two states have argued over the fl ow of water to the Apalachicola Bay for years.

The legal action asks the U.S. Supreme Court to take some pretty signifi cant steps, such as capping Georgia’s water use at 1992 levels.

If only Florida was as serious about its own water use and conservation as it is about the water use of its neighbor to the north.

The dispute with Georgia relates to withdrawals from Lake Lanier, a reservoir northeast of metro Atlanta on the Chattahoochee River that provides water to the South’s largest population center. The river is part of a system that ultimately forms the Apalachicola River, which fl ows to the Gulf of Mexico through the Florida Panhandle.

Low water fl ows caused by Atlanta’s excessive consumption have increased salinity in Apalachicola Bay, killing oysters and devastating the seafood industry there. Florida is seeking an equitable distribution of the water in the system, and understandably so.

“Georgia has refused to fairly share the waters that fl ow between our two states, so to stop Georgia’s unmitigated consumption of water we have brought the matter before the U.S. Supreme Court,” Gov. Rick Scott said in a statement.

Scott deserves credit for pursuing the lawsuit.

Hopefully he’ll treat Florida’s water use with a similar level of seriousness and urgency when lawmakers next pursue legislation protecting springs.

Scott’s statement focused on the economic impact of reduced freshwater fl ows on the oyster industry and that region’s economy. The reduction of spring fl ows from groundwater withdrawals has a similar potential to harm tourism and the natural resources in our region, not to mention add to the state’s growing sinkhole problem and dwindling supply of fresh groundwater. The Central Florida Water Initiative recently declared that Orlando is just about drawing the maximum amount from the aquifer that it can before causing major environmental harm — that is, more harm than is already being infl icted.

Atlanta’s unsustainable use of surface water threatens our state’s environment and economy. That is indisputable. Florida’s use of groundwater poses similar threats to our environment and economy, and we don’t need the Supreme Court to step in to address the issue. What we do need is for Scott and the Legislature to get serious about overhauling our state’s antiquated water policy that focuses on conservation too little and allows for the massive giveaway of our dwindling water supply too freely.

We urge our legislative delegation to make saving our steadily declining water supply a priority in the next legislative session.

CHIPLEY — The Chipley Redevelopment Authority board members discussed grant programs for the coming year during Thurs-day’s workshop at the Washington County Cham-ber of Commerce building.

“We have been discuss-ing offering special electri-cal grants to the downtown property owners for elec-trical repair,” CRA Direc-tor Ted Everett said. The grants would be for $6,000 and would be used to bring the wiring in the historic downtown district up to code.

“This is one of the big-gest issues we face in downtown according to the fire chief,” Everett said. “The old wiring in these buildings could become a fire hazard.”

The grants would re-

quire a 25 percent match from the building owners, which would mean $1,500 from the owner gets $4,500 from the CRA toward elec-trical repairs.

“How much electrical work would that really pay for?” asked CRA Chair-woman Amy Wiwi. Member Zenna Corbin said that she had paid $16,000 to update her building, but added that she had requested some extra work done as well.

Wiwi asked if the grant could be used for the elec-trical work needed for add-ing a new office to an ex-isting building or running cable for internet or phone lines.

“My thought would be first lets get the buildings up to code,” Everett said. “And just strictly electrical.”

“If the building is still on fuses, then it needs to have its electrical wiring updated,” Member Debbie Goulding said.

The CRA plans to set aside funds for 26 grants of $6,000 each, which will be available for properties within the CRA district.

The board also discussed setting aside funds to offer $1,000 residential grants for private homes within the CRA district, which is something the CRA has not offered in the past.

The board discussed re-quiring a 10 percent match from the homeowner, and decided the work that the grants would cover could be any work normally cov-ered in a CRA façade grant — windows, door, painting, wood replacement.

The grants are not avail-able yet, but are still in the planning stage, Everett said.

The CRA also discussed working with the Washing-ton County Arts Council to get the city’s fire hydrants painted as well as one day getting a mural painted in

downtown Chipley, both projects which are still in the planning stage.

In the meeting, the CRA approved a grant request from Seamus O’Neill for $1,636 to replace the aw-nings at 1384 N. Railroad Ave.

The board also voted

to accept Chipley resident Angela Grantham as a new member of the CRA board.

“She has lots of energy,” Corbin said. “She works at Regions Bank and also helps with the Habitat for Humanity store. And she works nights as a waitress

at Skins and Bubbas.”Everett said he will

prepare a letter for the Chipley City Council rec-ommending Grantham’s appointment, which goes before the council for final approval.

“She’s a nice young lady,” Everett said.

Holmes County golf teams meet at Dogwood Lakes

By Carrie HayfordSpecial to Halifax Media

BONIFAY — Recently, local schools met at Dogwood Lakes Country Club to tee off in a match up preparing for districts.

Playing in the event were Bethlehem High School, Holmes County High School, Ponce de Leon High School, and Marianna High School.

The Marianna Bulldogs came out on top. Leading the team in the number one spot, with a score of 38, was senior Kody Bryan.

The total score for the Bulldogs was 167,

beating the Bethlehem Wildcats by 11 strokes. Eli Hendrix, a BHS Junior, secured the

number one position on the Wildcats team with a score of a 43.

Due to a short number of players, HCHS and PDL were not eligible to qualify in the match up, as each team needed four players to compete.

Playing for PDL was Nick Price, and holding the top spot for Holmes County High was senior, Seth Taylor.

Bethlehem and Holmes County High met for a match on Sept. 16, and the Wildcats came out victorious with a 198 for the win

over the Devil’s 203. While HCHS Senior, Seth Taylor, with a

score of 38, maintained the top spot for the Blue Devils the number four player from BHS, junior, Brett Mitchell, locked in the win for the Wildcats with a score of 55, giving the team a fi ve-stroke advantage.

On Thursday, Oct. 10, Bethlehem will face off with Ponce de Leon at Dogwood Lakes, and the District match will follow shortly thereafter on Oct. 15.

Come out and support these student athletes, and maybe play a few rounds yourself.

VERNON — The Vernon Yellow Jackets took con-trol of the ball in the fi rst quarter and never looked back, thrashing the Holmes County High School Blue Devils 51-7 Friday night in Vernon.

Holmes County drew fi rst blood when the Blue Devils recovered a fumbled Vernon snap and Chad Leavins rushed for 53 yards on three plays to score the Blue Devils’ only touchdown at the 9:07 mark in the open-ing quarter.

John Etheridge’s kick was good for the extra point.

On their next possession, the Yellow Jackets drove 51 yards with Austin Brown rushing 26 yards on two carries for consecutive fi rst downs, putting Vernon on the Holmes County 25-yard line.

Then Darrius Peterson ran it in on a sweep to score, only to have the touchdown called back on a holding call.

Three Vernon TDs were voided due to fl ags for the evening, including a 90-yard kick return by Julian Silas — Vernon’s fouls kept the 51-7 drubbing even more lopsided.

Not to be deterred, Aaron

Bowers scored on a 40-yard scamper from the reverse on the next play.

Bowers also kicked the extra point to tie the score up 7-7 with 7:12 to play in the fi rst quarter.

From that point on, it was all Vernon.

Three seconds into the second quarter, Darrius Pe-terson went up the middle from the 4-yard line to score for the Yellow Jackets, cap-ping a 88-yard, 12-play drive.

The extra point attempt was blocked but Vernon went up 13-7.

With 8:17 to play in the half, the Yellow Jackets found the end zone again, this time Alex Oneil scam-pered 31 yards for six points and quarterback Tristan Porter added the PAT, even though he dropped the ball en route to the goal line and had to scoop it back up be-fore scoring.

Now with a 21-7 lead, the Yellow Jackets struck again when Brown picked off a Blue Devils pass inside the Vernon 30 and returned it 75 yards for a touchdown.

Silas added the two point conversion this time, and Vernon had a 29-7 edge with 3:41 left to play in the half.

Oneil found paydirt again with 12 seconds left in the half, capping a 5-play drive that started on the Holmes County 40.

Porter then connected with Oneil on a short screen pass for the PAT, giving the Yellow Jackets a 37-7 lead at the half.

Just 21 seconds into the third quarter, Vernon scored again when Silas ran 68 yards to paydirt.

Bowers’ kick was good and the score was 44-7 — and the mercy rule set the clock to running for the rest of the half and Vernon started play-ing the rest of the bench.

In the fi nal seconds of the third quarter, Peterson add-ed the fi nal touchdown of the evening on a sweep from in-side the Holmes County 10.

Bowers’ fi nal kick of the night was good to seal the evening.

Vernon hosts Graceville next Friday, while Holmes County hosts South Walton for their Homecoming game. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

Task force, hospital partner for inaugural

Domestic Violence Awareness Walk

BONIFAY — Hundreds gathered for entertainment and events as the Washington-Holmes Domes-tic Violence Task Force part-nered with Doctors Memorial Hospital for the fi rst ever Do-mestic Violence Awareness Walk on Oct. 11 at Doctors Memorial Hospital in honor and memory of victims and survivors of domes-tic violence.

“This walk is a fundraiser event in an effort to raise funds to support victims of abuse in Holm-es, Washington and surrounding areas,” said Missy Sword Lee, family intervention program su-pervisor for Habilitative Services of Northwest Florida. “The mis-sion of the task force is to open a shelter for victims to escape an abusive situation without having to leave their own community.”

She said this is an effort that

has to be made strong through community efforts.

“This is not just an aware-ness walk,” Lee said. “This is a community event for the entire family.”

Lee said one in four women would experience domestic vio-lence in their lifetime. “Domestic violence does not discriminate against race, religion, fi nancial stature or age. Domestic violence will never stop if we do not get in-volved,” she said. “It takes a com-munity to stop this abuse. Thank you in advance for your support; if you make a step to get involved, you never know who might follow in your steps.”

Entertainment included local young artists as well as demon-strations by Trinity Martial Arts and drama skits by the Carmel youth drama team, Take 2.

Featured entertainment was free concerts by gospel group The Drummonds and country singer Julie Roberts.

PoNCE de lEoN — First grade students at Ponce de Leon Elementary galloped their way into rodeo with a full week Cowboy Unit.

Students read many non-fiction books about horses, cowboys and rodeos. Together with teachers, students cooked cowboy chili and learned how to square dance. They had stick pony math fact competitions and created

many hands on activities that focused on cowboys, cowgirls and rodeo.

Special guests also visited the first graders at PDLE. Hometown calf roper Neil Morgan read a book to students and demonstrated his roping skills. Cowgirls Tara Alford and Dallas Dewees brought barrel horses for the students to see and read to the students. Bull rider Zach Sellers read a story to the students

and shared his bull riding equipment. Lastly, Jarrod Jenkins brought over his horse and bucking bulls to show the students.

By the end of the unit, students were excited to visit the Northwest Florida Championship Rodeo. The first grade teachers at PDLE would like to extend a grateful thank you to the special guests and their principal, Mrs. Locke, for allowing them to teach this fun filled academic unit.

VERNoN — Members of Vernon’s Class of 1983 came together Oct. 4-5 to celebrate their 30-year reunion. They rode in the Homecoming parade and then enjoyed Vernon’s victory over Cottondale on Friday night. Two of the members had daughters who were finalists for the coveted title of Homecoming Queen: Jackie Coatney’s daughter Jaclyn and Annette Lewis Weeks’ daughter Michaela, who was crowned queen. Congratulations from the Class of ’83 to both girls.

On Saturday night, 24 classmates and their spouses met at Mike’s Cafe and Oyster Bar in Panama City Beach. Class President Ava Smith presided over the occasion. Sarah Andrews Harris led in prayer, and two candles were lit in memory of classmates Angela Rigetta and Darry Alterio. Members watched a slideshow of photos from

their school years and previous reunions as they ate.

A special treat was provided by Sarah Andrews Harris, who sang “The Way We Were,” which she performed at their graduation 30 years ago. Other

highlights of the evening included a “Remember When” segment, led by Nancy Maher Griffin. Each class member was asked to provide a favorite memory from their school years. Some remembered particular classes

like home economics, while others remembered fights, and several shared memories of Mrs. Whitehurst’s class. Next, Tonya Reynolds Boston asked everyone “Where Are They Now?” about former class members that they

haven’t seen in a while or who left Vernon before graduation.

Last, the class conducted a prize drawing. Every class member received a prize. Special prizes were provided by Dee’s Restaurant in Vernon, Radio Shack in Chipley, King’s Discount Drugs and King’s Outdoors in Chipley, Castaway Restaurant in Bonifay and Colonial Restaurant in Chipley. The class was very grateful to these local businesses whose contributions were in excess of $300.

The 30-year reunion proved to be a great success, but the class missed quite a few classmates who had to work or could not attend for other reasons. Before leaving, the class vowed to get together more often, and Ava mentioned the desire to have a 50’s blast in two years when we reach the age of 50. Any member who did not attend Saturday night’s reunion can get a copy of the DVD from Susan Land Steverson at 547-5786.

Man’s best friend is a term with no discrimination. Whether your dog is large or petite, obedient or a little rebellious, you love them just the same. The unparalleled companionship between a human and their deaf dog is no exception.

It is a popular yet wildly misguided rumor that deaf dogs are unable to be a loving member of your family. Impossible to train, aggressive and unruly, and incapable of living a normal life are all stereotypes falsely attributed to deaf dogs.

“Adopting any dog means that you are committing your family to providing a loving forever home,” said Dr. David Nelson, clinical associate professor and director of

Emergency Services at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. “The handicap is not the

determinant of suitability, but rather the training and assimilation that you are going to undertake.”

The biggest difference between a hearing dog and a deaf one is that

you can’t use your voice to get the dog’s attention. Training a deaf dog is not necessarily harder than a hearing dog; it just requires a different approach.

“One key point in their training is that if they are not looking at you, they can’t receive feedback, and they don’t know you have information to provide,” Nelson said. “They have to learn sign language

and body posture, which needs to be consistently delivered, and just like any other dog, you must not let them get away with bad behavior.”

Another training technique helpful for communicating with a deaf dog is to train him to respond to a vibrating collar. A push of the radio transmitter causes a vibration in the collar, and you can then condition your dog that this is a fantastic opportunity for a reward. After multiple positive rewards, their attention should turn toward you immediately after signaling, so you can then provide further instruction. Keep in mind that the vibration from the collar should never have a negative connotation, or your dog will be afraid to respond in the future. Having them come to

you without hesitation is extremely important, so always be sure to provide positive feedback.

“We hike in the national forests with him off leash, and he actually is easier to manage than the other dog, who can hear just fine,” Nelson said about his deaf dog. “We always have the safety net of the vibrating collar but rarely use it, and he has learned to check back visually and will come to a hand sign without delay.”

Another common misconception of deaf dogs is that they are aggressive. This makes many people question whether it is safe to have a deaf dog in their home around children.

“It is not deafness which determines suitability of a dog to be with children, but the personality of the dog, the child and the home environment,”

Nelson said. “Deafness does not mean that the dog is bad for this or that; the dog’s personality and the owners’ training determine those results.”

Deaf dogs can be startled when touched unexpectedly, so establishing a “communication spot” that you touch when you need to wake them up is a good idea. “We have trained him that the top back of his head is the communication spot, and when we touch it and he is sleeping, he immediately begins wagging his tail because he knows it is one of us,” Nelson said.

Certain breeds of dogs, such as Dalmatians, carry a gene that causes deafness. If the deafness isn’t genetic, it is still common for a dog to lose hearing from an ear injury or simply from old age, just like people. If you believe Spot might be deaf, there are various tests you can perform. Simple at-home tests work just fine, like clapping your hands together or ringing a bell, but the most reliable way to test for deafness is called BAER testing (Brainstorm Auditory

Evoked Response). This test can be costly, but it is extremely accurate and will let you know if your dog is partially or wholly deaf.

“If you came and interacted with our two dogs, you would not be aware that one is deaf, as we talk to him just like the other dog and the hand signs are subtle,” Nelson said. “He has been totally deaf since birth and is a wonderful boy that loves people, animals and children.”

Despite the few adaptations you must make for training and living with a deaf dog, the love and appreciation you receive far outweighs any perceived adversity from their disabilities. The friendship between a human and their dog, hearing or not, knows no boundaries.

Faith EVENTSIs it a fragrance or a stench?This past week I had to go to the

mall. I know, I should know better but I thought I could sneak in, get what I needed and sneak out again. So much for my thoughts.

I wanted to purchase several tie chains for my neckties and searched every jewelry store and nobody had them. Finally, I ordered three online, which would be shipped free, (which always gets my attention) to the nearest store, which happened to be in the mall.

I do not like the mall and choose not to go there if I can help it. When in the mall I am usually very nervous and get confused and do not know which way I am going. Once I get in, I am not quite sure how to get out again. Everything seems to be contrived to confuse a person like myself.

Looking down at the ground while walking I became rather confused and I happen to turn into an open door.

My mall savvy is not sophisticated in the lease. The door I turned into happened to be for the store Victoria’s Secret. I do not know who Victoria is, I did not know what the store was all about but when I got in the store I discovered Victoria’s Secret much to my great embarrassment.

That is exactly the reason I do not like going into the malls. They have places like this that a gentleman, such as Yours Truly, should never enter.

I am not sure how I got out of that store, all I can remember was a great deal of hilarious laughter thrown in my direction from inside. I just hope they did not recognize me. They probably did not, because I had all my clothes on.

It has been a long time since that incident and now I had to go and pick up my order. I put together a plan to sneak in very quietly, pick up

my order and tiptoe out as quietly as I came in.

You know what they say about well-laid plans! Whether mine was well laid or not, it blew up in my face.

I did slip into the mall and found the store where my order was. I picked them up and quietly turned

around and started for the door. How I got turned around is any man’s guess. Actually, I think it turned around too many times. For the next 15 minutes, I tried to fi nd the way I came in so I could go out.

The trouble started when I hesitated. I stopped to try to get my bearings and in stopping a young woman

approached me.“How do you do today, sir,” she

said most cheerfully.I nodded and tried to get away as

graciously as possible.She would have none of it. “And

how do you smell today, sir?”Had I been in my right sense of

mind I would have told her I smelled with my nose. Being in a confused state of affairs, I had no quick come back for her. It was then that she introduced me to her product.

I must confess I am not up-to-date with all of the body lotions and perfumes that are available today. I shave in the morning, splash some aftershave on my face, rub some deodorant under my armpits and that is as far as I go.

This young woman took me for a potential customer of her body lotions and ointments and perfumes. I suppose many people are concerned with how they smell. I am not one of them.

My basic philosophy along this line is simply, if I cannot stand my own smell, I take a shower. I know when it is time to take a shower when I can smell myself.

She wanted to introduce me to

some body lotions and ointments and perfumes that would make me smell alluring to anybody I met during the day.

Personally, I do not have a “Bucket List” but if I did this would not be one of the items on it.

Trying to be polite, I informed the young woman I was late for an appointment and needed to get on right away.

“Oh,” she said very cheerfully, “this will not take long at all.”

With that said, and before I could process what she said, she began rubbing my face with body ointment or lotion of some sort. I froze and for a few moments, I could not even move. Even the little grey cells upstairs were shocked into a rare state of stillness.

“Now, you smell wonderful.”It was at that time I retired with

honor my gentlemanly manners and started running as fast as I could run without drawing too much attention to myself.

I smelled that “fragrance” for three days in spite of the fact that I took 17 showers in the meantime.

Sometimes our focus is always on the outside. I like what Jesus said, “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess” (Matthew 23:25).

It does not matter how good I smell on the outside if there is stench on the inside. I want to focus on my inside and make it as fresh as possible. That is the fragrance God smells.

Special to Extra

TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott announced at Florida Cabinet meeting on Oct. 10 that Florida state parks are now the nation’s only three-time winner of the National Gold Medal Award for Excellence in the management of state park systems.

“I am thrilled that the Florida Park Service continues to celebrate Florida,” Scott said. “Winning this award for the third time continues to show that the Sunshine State is working hard to ensure Florida families and tourists are able to enjoy our natural treasures, and I want to thank all of our employees and volunteers who helped make this possible.”

The award was presented during the National Recreation and Park Association’s annual Congress and Exposition in Houston. The association, in partnership

with the American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration, presents the award to communities that demonstrate excellence in long-range planning, resource management and administrating a complex system of state parks. Scott and the Florida Cabinet recognized the Florida Park Service on Thursday.

This achievement makes Florida the only system in the nation to win a third gold medal. In fact, no other system has ever won two gold medals, and systems are not allowed to apply for the award within five years of receiving it. Considerations for this award were based on the agency’s ability to address needs of those it serves through collective energies of citizens, staff and elected officials.

“The fact that the Florida Park Service has won this

prestigious national award three times, while no other state has ever won twice, shows the dedication of our employees and volunteers to manage the resources that provide vast opportunities for Floridians and visitors to enjoy our natural resources,” said DEP Secretary Herschel T. Vinyard Jr. “More

than 25 million people visit these award-winning state parks each year, and we are proud to continue to show how special Florida is to all those who visit.”

Since 1935, Florida’s Park Service have been working to provide recreational activities for the community,

while preserving, protecting, interpreting and restoring natural resources in the area.

During the 2012-2013 fiscal year, parks experienced a record-breaking number of visitors. During this time period, 25,575,794 people visited parks. This resulted in an increase of 592,615 from the previous year. Increasing access to these state parks has been one of Vinyard’s top priorities.

“I am honored that Florida State Parks is the winner of our third national gold medal,” said Florida Park Service Director Donald Forgione. “Our staff members, citizen support organizations, volunteers and concessionaires work hard every day to welcome visitors to enjoy our natural and cultural resources.”
