Kai Pinchek picks blueberries during the Small Farms Adventure stop June 12 at Gainer Blueberry Farm in Chipley.
BERRY SWEET TOUR By VALERIE GARMAN
747-5076 | @valeriegarman vgarman@pcnh.com CHIPLEY — Broccoli doesn’t grow in the summer. “We’ve become so distanced from knowing what’s in season when,” said Ronnie Barnes, coordinator of Waterfront Markets Inc. “Our generation and our kids’ generation can just go to the store and buy what they want.” But, Barnes is working to change that. Waterfront Markets Inc., the organization in charge of the farmers markets in Callaway, Capt. Anderson’s Marina and Treasure Island Marina, hosted its third Small Farms Adventure on June 12, a bus tour showcasing farms in the
region. Through the day about 35 guests toured the “Garden of Eaten” farm in Fountain, SeaBreeze Winery in Panama City Beach and Ponce Plantation at Gulf Coast State College, but the main event of the day highlighted a summer season staple. Tour patrons plucked their own berries by the gallon at Gainer Blueberry Farm in Chipley, which opened for the you-pick season this week. What started out as a desire for a few blueberry plants in the backyard has turned into a 2,700-bush, you-pick operation for farm owners Dennis and Connie Gainer. “My husband came home one day and said, ‘Do you want to be a blueber-
ry farmer?’ ” Connie Gainer said as she handed out onegallon buckets to pickers as they came through Wednesday morning. The Gainers used to sell their berries at local markets, but now are exclusively a you-pick business. They also grow rows of sweet corn, watermelon and sunflowers on their 64acre property. The farm is open for you-pick Thursday through Sunday until the berries run out, which usually is a six-week span. “We had some cold damage this year, but we still have plenty of berries,” Dennis Gainer said. “We’ve got more berries than we do birds.”

Town to seek new city clerk 638-0212 | @WCN_HCT rseyler@chipleypaper.com WAUSAU — Wausau’s city clerk Margaret Riley announced her plans to retire on Sept. 30 at Thursday’s Town Council meeting. “I appreciate every one of you, and I am going to miss you all,” Riley said to the council. She has worked for the town for 17 years.

“The council will need to vote in July to advertise the position, then interview in August,” Riley said. “I would like to be a part of the selection process, if I can.” “Let’s plan on doing the interviewing at the Aug. 8 meeting,” Mayor BJ Phillips said. “We are certainly going to miss you,” Phillips said. “Every time I need some information, I can always call Margaret, and she knows what to do.” The council voted to accept her resignation. “Plan on keeping your phone handy after you leave,” Phillips joked with Riley. “I suspect you’ll be getting some calls from us ask-

GAETZ from page A1 addressed the Kiwanis Club and met with Northwest Florida Community Hospital administration to discuss health care issues. Gaetz serves as President of the Florida Senate. He was elected to the Senate in 2006 after six years as superintendent of schools in Okaloosa County. His senate district includes Okaloosa, Walton, Washington, Holmes, Jackson and Bay counties. When the senate district boundaries were redrawn, Gaetz inherited Holmes, Jackson and Washington Counties. “I won the redistricting lottery,� Gaetz said. “I grew up in the rural Midwest, and this is where I feel more at home, more than anywhere else in Florida.� A resident of Niceville, he said the economy in Niceville is tied to the military bases, tourism and the hospitality industry. Though having a strong economic factor such as a military base can be a blessing for a community, if the base is shut down, then the community is severely affected. “Every time Washington gets a cold, we wind up with pneumonia,� Gaetz said. Sequestration has resulted in hundreds of furloughs for employees of the military bases, which will affect those surrounding communities. Tourism is also an industry that is subject to downturns. “If you have a lot of people drown, or someone sees a shark, that can have a huge negative impact,� Gaetz said. Northwest Florida, however, is poised to be a center of industrial growth, he said, given the opportunity. “If you are looking to relocate your company, or your family, Northwest Florida has a lot to offer,� Gaetz said. “Taxes are lower here than in other parts of the state, as are living expenses.� Area schools are good, and getting better, Gaetz

Sen. Don Gaetz, second from right, discusses economic growth with the Washington County Chamber of Commerce and residents on Tuesday in Chipley, with attorney Jeff Goodman, from left, Chamber Executive Director Ted Everett and William Steverson, owner of King’s Discount Drugs. said, and the recently enacted Career And Professional Education (CAPE) Act was designed to give Florida high school graduates a “diploma that has career currency in the workplace.� Half of college and university graduates under 25 are unemployed or underemployed, Gaetz said. And having a high school diploma alone does not mean a student is qualified to get a job. “This started when I was superintendent of the Okaloosa Schools, where we began the CHOICE Institutes,� Gaetz said. Since then, he has worked to “lash our education system to the realities and opportunities of the economy.� Degree programs and high school studies need to prepare students for the real economy, and the CAPE Act will pay school districts $750 per middle school or high school student who receives an industrial certification while they are attending school. “If Washington County School District does the same thing next year that they did this year, then under the CAPE Act, the district would receive an additional $300,000,� Gaetz said. Having students who are
job-ready upon graduation is also essential for future growth, not only in Northwest Florida, but throughout the state. Student education is key to attracting employers, especially employers on the scale of a Nissan, BMW or Toyota plant, such as Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina have landed in recent years. Florida has been in competition for such facilities, and plans are underway for a megasite — an industrial site dedicated for use by a big employer such as an auto plant — to be located in Jackson County. “My son, Matt, went on his own to one of these companies and asked why they chose South Carolina over Florida,� Gaetz said, referring to State Rep. Matt Gaetz of Fort Walton. “They were told by South Carolina that whatever community they located in, the state guaranteed that when the local graduates would walk across the stage to receive their diplomas, they would be qualified to go to work at that plant with no further training. “We want our students to graduate with a degree or a diploma that gives them some real career currency,� Gaetz said.

Brown’s mother speaks about victim advocacy Nancy Williams with tragedy that made her decide to become a victim advocate. “It was a horrific experience that I would never want any mother to have to live through; however, it is through this tragedy that I hope to help others as so many have helped me,” Williams said. “Being there for young victims, to sit closely by them and to be a comforting presence is what it means to be a victim advocate. This has filled a need within me to give back to the community that had done so much for us.” She thanked the local law enforcement agencies and state attorney’s office for all they have done for her family. “It was a horrible experience, but with the help of those agencies, the support of the community and the Lord above, we were able to move forward,” Williams said. “In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, ‘You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results.’ Thank you for your time, and God bless.”

BONIFAY — Victim advocate Nancy Williams spoke with the Bonifay Kiwanis Club about the importance of victim advocacy during the club’s June 12 meeting. “I met Williams in 2010 after her daughter, Mia Chay Brown, was abducted and murdered,” Assistant State Attorney Brandon Young said. “She volunteered with our office shortly afterward, and in December of last year, we hired her as a victim advocate.” Williams began by quoting Nelson Mandela. “There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children,” Williams said. “We make choices in who we want to be and how we move forward. One of the things we’ve set up as a part of the healing process is (to) establish a legacy for Mia by helping others through a Mia Shay Brown Scholarship, which is only available at Bethlehem High School.” The scholarship awards $1,000 to a senior who writes an essay explaining the goals they have and what they’ve done to better their community. “I hope and pray that by doing this we are helping other young people go forward in their community and in their own lives,” Williams said. “That they make positive changes, not only in their lives but in the life blood of the community.” She said it was her experience

brought a commitment that I write stories on the well- known performer in that category as they have passed away. I know that I am not recalling all the articles written in every category. Those I readily recall were Hank Locklin, Don Helms (of the famed Hank Williams Band), Miss Kitty Wells, and later her husband, Johnny Wright, Folk Music Legend, Doc Watson and Wilma Lee Cooper of Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper fame. On Sept. 7, it was my sad duty to report the deaths of two music stars who performed concerts at the May 22, 1982 Railroad Centennial Celebration. They were Dr. Bill Foster of the Foster String Band from Florence, Alabama and Oscar Sullivan, of the Lonzo and Oscar Band out of Nashville. Among the veteran tributes, it has been my privilege to write a special feature article on my uncle, James Archie Harris. Bethel Primitive Baptist Church honored him with a special tribute on October 11, 2003 in a ceremony formulated by Merrill T. (Tom) Beasley, LTC, Inf, FARNG, Retired, the late Pat Davis and your writer. Col. Beasley narrated the major battle campaigns of Harris, including North Africa and Anzio Beach. He also outlined a host of Awards, including The Purple Heart at Anzio, along with the Silver Star and Bronze Star honors. On Aug. 4, 2007, the
opportunity came to feature a second World War II veteran and highly decorated hero, John Julius Fussell. I vividly recall sitting with him in the spacious and comfortable sales shelter on the Fussell Farm where he calmly and methodically outlined his U. S. Army experiences paralleling the travels of Archie Harris. Fussell received combat injuries at Anzio Beach and again at Po River in Italy. He was highly decorated with numerous awards, Combat Citations and ribbons for his honored service. John Julius Fussell passed away June 3 at the age of 93 while surrounded by his loving family. Funeral services were conducted at Piney Grove Free Will Baptist Church on June 5 with throngs attending the funeral conducted by Rev. Alan English and the pastor, Rev. Tim Owen. Imagine the writer’s surprise and excitement when Rev. Owen immediately stated he would be basing many of his remarks on Judge Wells’ article in the newspaper in 2007 entitled “John Julius Fussell qualifies as one of ‘The Greatest Generation.’” He proceeded to quote much of contents of this book by Tom Brokaw, published in 1999. Your writer was again humbled in Rev. Owen making special reference to my story, where I wrote: ”Had Tom Brokaw, the international known journalist and newscaster,

English also referred to the deceased as numbering among The Greatest Generation, commenting, ”sadly it is a generation that is fast becoming extinct.” Please allow me to continue to think that
my path of writing for the past ten years is surely the Providential Hand of God directing my efforts. I have been more than compensated for my endeavors in ways other than in a pay check. 86 year old, Cecil Pippin, added to that pay day when he told me at Julius’ funeral his blessing in reading my article on his friend, J.

Holmes BOCC moves forward in county manager search By CECILIA SPEARS
547-9414 | @WCN_HCT cspears@chipleypaper.com BONIFAY — After much discussion, the Holmes County Board of County Commissioners agreed to move forward in their pursuit of a county manager at their June 11 meeting. The board tasked County Attorney Jeff Goodman with writing a job description to bring to the board at their next meeting. “I understand that you want a county administrator but without the authority to hire and fire,” Goodman said. “Someone who can coordinate between department heads and oversee public works but not with the full power of a county administrator. Basically it will be county coordinator and public works director.” Chairman Monty Merchant said he would like someone who would be willing go out to project sites to work. “I’m hoping he’s not a coat-and-tie man,” Merchant said. “We need a man that can put on his boots and get to work out there.” Project Engineer Jack Elliott and a
representative from the Department of Transportation gave an update on the progress being made to County Road 173 North. Elliott said very few tasks remain to finish the project, such as side drains and shoulders. “The south end looks better then the north end,” Commissioner Kenneth Williams said. “Will the north end be corrected before you leave? Also, how long can they hold people up, because I was out there for 22 minutes for almost 3 miles between barricades.” Elliott assured him the north end would be “polished up” before workers leave, and the maximum allowed space for barricades is 2 miles. “If it’s more than that, we need to correct it immediately,” Elliott said. The project has a tentative completion date of Nov. 15, he said, which could be extended because of weather.

Last time we discussed this, the board said they would send an engineer out. Did you?” County Engineer Whitney Nelson from Melvin Engineering told the board he did go out, plans were drawn and he met with a foreman, but work was never done. The board agreed to allow Nelson to meet with the foreman again and see that the project moves forward. Holmes County State Housing Initiatives Partnership Administrator Kathy Ahlen told the board Gov.
Rick Scott agreed to fund the State Housing Initiatives Program in August. SHIP provides funds to local governments as an incentive to create partnerships that produce and preserve affordable homeownership and multifamily housing. The program was designed to serve very low, low and moderate income families. The board agreed to a three-year extended contract with SHIP with the option of canceling with a minimum 60-day notice.
Commissioner Bobby Sasnett told the board he was down to two employees on his road and bridge crew, and the board approved of creating a temporary, sixmonth position and to advertise it. After much discussion, the board approved of allowing Caterpillar to fix one of Sasnett’s graders for $12,962.86. Sasnett said it had no brakes and that the turntable needed to be overhauled. Caterpillar estimated a twoweek period to repair it. “Park it and see if they will lend you a piece of equipment until the work is done,” Merchant said. Merchant told the board he met with the Department of Transportation in regard to repairing County Road 2 from County Road 82 to the Walton County line. “There’s a small portion, about a 2-mile distance, that is being left out,” Merchant said. “I’ve talked with DOT, and there may be a way to get funding for that stretch of road.” The board approved postponing the awarding of the bid until they hear from DOT. “I’ve also heard there are
some negative comments coming from board members,” Merchant said. “Comments about other commissioners and about how they will and will not do certain things. I am not so naive to think that employees won’t talk about our commissioners, but it is about time that we look at employees to do their job and stop blaming commissioners for work not being done.” Merchant also suggested they have a budget workshop soon. “There’s a lot of expenses coming down that we’ve got to be prepared for,” Merchant said. “Like the increase for retirement. Where they want us to pay for it in full, which would be almost a quarter of a million dollar increase.” Goodman also said Washington County was facing a 10 to 20 percent increase in health insurance because of Obamacare and that Holmes County shouldn’t overlook the same possibility. The next scheduled meeting of the Holmes County Board of County Commissioners is set for 6 p.m. June 25 at the BOCC boardroom, behind the Holmes County Courthouse.

Florida Commission on Ethics hears complaints Special to The News TALLAHASSEE — Meeting in Tallahassee on June 7 in closed session, the Florida Commission on Ethics took action on 40 complaints, Chairwoman Susan Maurer announced on June 12. In a complaint filed against Arcadia City Councilmember Alice H. Frierson, the commission found no probable cause to believe she accepted compensation or a thing of value that was intended to influence her actions as a member of the Council. No probable cause also was found on an allegation that she had a voting conflict when she voted on measures relating to an airport. Laura Dees, Hamilton County Supervisor of Elections, was cleared of four allegations that she misused her position by using her office mailing labels for campaign materials; by withholding the daily absentee ballot request list from other candidates until the day after she mailed her own campaign materials; by campaigning to school children while serving in her public capacity; and by campaigning when registered voters came to her office. The allegations were dismissed with a finding of no probable cause.
No probable cause was found to believe Robert L. “Skip” Jarvis Jr., state attorney – 3rd Circuit, misused his position and resources to run non-law enforcement records checks through restricted databases. The Commission also found no probable cause to believe Jarvis disclosed or used information not available to the general public for the benefit of himself or another person. The commission also considered a complaint filed against Donna Storterlong, Glades County Commissioner, finding probable cause to believe she had a voting conflict when she voted on a measure in September 2012 to rank and select a contractor that inured to the special private gain of her son. Probable cause also was found on a vote that authorized the negotiation of a contract that also benefited her son. Probable cause was found to believe former Jefferson County Clerk of Court employee Stephanie Footman misused her position to misappropriate child support payments. The commission also found probable cause to believe she used inside information in order to misappropriate payments. The commission found
no probable cause to believe Pasco County Tax Collector Mike Olson misused his position to require employees to use annual leave and work on his re-election campaign. Probable cause was found to believe Trudie Infantini, Brevard County Commissioner, failed to timely file the required voting conflict form after abstaining from an October 2009 vote. However, the commission will take no further action on the allegation unless Infantini requests a hearing. The commission found no probable cause to believe that she voted on a September 2011 measure that inured to the special private gain of her employer. The commission found no probable cause to believe James Glass, Chattahoochee City Councilmember, failed to report a dinner valued at more than $100 received from Progress Energy. The commission found probable cause to believe Sen. Maria Sachs failed to properly disclose a condominium unit, income from her position as a legislator and her net worth on her 2008, 2009 and 2010 Form 6 disclosures. However, because she filed amended disclosure forms, it will
take no further action on the allegations unless Sen. Sachs requests a hearing. The commission also considered a complaint filed against Rep. Benny William Albritton and found no probable cause to believe he violated the Constitution by failing to disclose a home on his 2011 Form 6. Probable cause was found to believe Rep. Janet Adkins failed to properly disclose assets on her 2011 Form 6, but the commission will take no further action. The commission also found probable cause to believe Rep. Dennis K. Baxley, as well as former Sen. Stephen R. Wise and former Senator and candidate for Hillsborough County Property Appraiser Ronda Storms filed incomplete 2011 Form 6s but will take no further action. The commission granted a request by the Complainant for withdrawal of complaints filed against Orange County Health Department employees Kim Dove and Meghan Whidden. The commission dismissed a complaint against Citrus County Deputy Sheriff Steven Wayne Smolensky, finding the public interest would not be served by further proceedings. The complaint also contained allegations that were
insufficient to allege a possible violation of the ethics code. The commission dismissed the following complaints for lack of legal sufficiency: Gary Sharpe, Polk County employee; Sara Comander, Walton County commissioner; Stephen Furman, assistant Public Works director for Santa Rosa County; John Costigan, assistant general counsel for the Florida Department of Agriculture; Robert Herbstreith, Mary Esther Code Enforcement officer; Jenny Parham, city clerk and former interim city manager for High Springs; Raymond “Ray” Ivey, High Springs city attorney; Thomas Depeter, High Springs city attorney; Mary Foster, Department of Corrections probation officer; Jack Mullen, Robert Polluck and Lanny Howell Mexico Beach City Councilmembers; Pamela Bondi, Florida Attorney General; Diane Matousek, Clerk of the Circuit Court – 7th Judicial Circuit; Clay Adkinson, Walton County attorney and attorney for the Walton County Tourist Development Council; Jeffrey Dawsy, Citrus County sheriff; Gerald Dixon, sergeant in the Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office; Wayne Burns,
Bonnie White and Buddy Grant, commanders in the Citrus County Sheriff ’s Office; Sue Weller, mayor of High Springs; Edwin Booth, High Springs city manager; and Jeri Langman, High Springs city manager. The commission’s reviews for legal sufficiency are limited to questions of jurisdiction and determinations as to whether the contents of the complaint are adequate to allege a violation of the Code of Ethics. As no factual investigation precedes the reviews, the commission’s conclusions do not reflect on the accuracy of the allegations made in these complaints. The Florida Commission on Ethics is an independent nine-member commission formed in 1974 to review complaints filed under t he statutory Code of Ethics and to answer questions from public officials about potential conflicts of interest through its issuance of advisory opinions. If the Ethics Commission believes a violation of the law may have occurred, it may decide to hold a public hearing. If it concludes a violation has been committed, it may recommend civil penalties that include removal from office or employment and fines up to $10,000 per violation.

Hooked on Outdoors I don’t see how a man can make a living fishing. In the 1960s, when there were no laws concerning the numbers of fish a boat could catch or the seasons a man could fish, it was a hard way to make a living. I realize if something had not been done and laws weren’t established we probably wouldn’t have any fish left to catch. It seems that some of these laws were a little stringent and some don’t seem necessary, but we have them all the same. Triggerfish regulations are an example. There hardly is a spot you can go in the Gulf that triggerfish won’t eat everything you put down for snapper. Outdoor They come Life to the Scott Lindsey surface captainlindsey@ there are so knology.net many. You might think there is no way we could fish them out, but we thought the same about snapper in the 1960s and we almost managed to do that. Most boat captains today have found it almost is impossible to own a big vessel with all the expenses that come with it and such a short season to fish. Some boat captains were going out of business before fish regulations and shortened seasons were put in place. Now try and run a business in 28 days. It’s impossible. That is why a lot of captains are going to smaller boats that carry four or less passengers. I try to feature some of these guys every so often. One such captain is Jeff Gager. Jeff spent 20-plus years working for the FWC, or the Marine Patrol as it was first called. When Jeff first indicated to me he wanted to go into the guide business I was a little skeptical. Jeff knew every law on the books and could identify almost every kind of fish in the Gulf, but his saltwater fishing abilities were a little lacking. Wanting to help him in any way I could, I gave him some numbers that I had caught fish on and he started with them and numbers some of his friends gave him. It wasn’t long before he was catching fish like gangbusters. Now he has more snapper spots than he could fish in a lifetime. He is hard working and very personable. If I had a group of kids or was going on a family trip, Capt. Jeff Gager is the guy I would choose. If you have a party of four or less and want to have an enjoyable trip in the Gulf and catch some fish, give Jeff a call at 527- 9730. His specialty is gag grouper, that season coming in July 1. He also has some pretty good snapper holes, I know because I gave them to him.

Martin Bourgeois weighs a tarpon caught last year during the Golden Meadow-Fourchon International Tarpon Rodeo.
New tarpon rules approved LAKELAND (AP) — After listening to more than 100 emotional opinions, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission this week voted to move forward with a controversial proposal to modify the type of gear used to catch tarpon statewide. They also made tarpon a catch and release fish for the first time. The FWC’s proposed rule, passed by a 4-3 vote, would prohibit gear rigged with bottom weights — a technique that is notorious for catching tarpon, even if they are not feeding. Tarpons, also known as “silver kings,” can grow up to 8 feet and weigh more than 300 pounds and are prized by fishermen because they jump and fight when snagged. In Boca Grande Pass, the largest and most prolific tarpon nursery in the world, the hotly debated issue is whether illegal snagging occurs in during the Professional Tarpon Tournament Series’ annual round of tournaments. Conservationists claim that PTTS is responsible for many dead silver kings washing up on beaches during their contests. Several speakers told the seven-member panel the disagreements have degenerated to threats, intimidation and harassment. The Save the Tarpon organization asserted that PTTS’ reality TV show is the motivation behind the use of the flossing method that allows trophy fish to consistently be caught. The TV show has an audience of 44 million viewers, according to PTTS claims. A lawyer for PTTS speaking at the public hearing threatened the commission with a lawsuit if it passed the proposed changes to the gear. The Boca Grande Chamber of Commerce director Lew Hastings, a proponent of changes that may conserve the fishery, told the panel that the business community supports FWC’s draft proposal. Hastings said the fishery can collapse if not protected and that would bring economic devastation to his small island community. Hasting’s fear might have some basis. Half a century ago, the tarpon fishery did just that in Port Aransas, Texas, a small town that built its fortune on the silver kings and lost it when the fishery collapsed because of runoff pollutants. The town once known as
The FWC’s proposed rule, passed by a 4-3 vote, would prohibit gear rigged with bottom weights — a technique that is notorious for catching tarpon, even if they are not feeding.
TARPON FACTS AND FIGURES • Fossil research shows tarpon have been swimming in our oceans since prehistoric times. • The life span of a tarpon can be in excess of 50 years. The oldest tarpon in captivity lived to be 63 years old. • Because of its majestic appearance of size and color, the tarpon is nicknamed “silver king.” • Tarpon are primarily found in shallow coastal waters and estuaries, but they also are found in open marine waters, around coral reefs, and in some freshwater lakes and rivers. •Tarpon range from Virginia to central Brazil in the western Atlantic, along the coast of Africa in the eastern Atlantic, and all through the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. • Because of its strength, stamina and fighting ability, the tarpon is one of Florida’s premier game fish. • Tarpon have a special ability to gulp air at the surface when they are in a habitat that doesn’t provide enough oxygen. PHOTO AND FACTS PROVIDED BY FWC
Tarpon, Texas, is actively trying to restore the tarpon habitat. Dave Markett, a long-time fishing guide who works Boca Grande Pass, called the acrimony that has destroyed lifelong friendships “a modern day tragedy.” “There is no scientific evidence that this gear causes snagging,” he told the panel. “There is no biological issue with tarpons. No tragedy will happen today or tomorrow if you do a study.” He urged the commissioners to table the proposal or to vote it down. Several long-time fishermen told the regulators that numbers of tarpon have declined. They expressed serious concern that without action on the part of FWC, the tarpon will be driven away. Charter captain Mark Futch of Boca Grande related to the panel that he invented the bottom-weighted circle hook that is currently used by members of the PTTS tourney to snag tarpon. He says he and fellow anglers quit using it years ago when they saw the resulting carnage washing up on local beaches. He told the commissioners the snagging gear kills tarpon and harms the vulnerable fishery. Celebrities who have lent sponsorship in the past to the PTTS include revered illustrator Guy Harvey and New York Times best-selling author and former fishing guide Randy Wayne White. Both have publicly reversed their stance and supported the FWC’s proposed restrictions. The scientist in charge of the Tarpon and
Bonefish Trust, Dr. Aaron Adams, also called on the FWC to protect the unique tarpon resource. In explaining the FWC’s decision to move the draft rule forward, chairman Kenneth Wright said, “As a legal matter, we don’t have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt with scientific certainty that it’s snagging fish. We’d be studying this to death. I think we have compelling evidence of the need for the rule.” Commissioner Ronald Bergeron dissented. He said he did not have enough scientific evidence to prove the gear is harmful. He said he will request further information before the final passage of the proposed rule is taken up in Pensacola in September. The commission voted unanimously to make both bonefish and tarpon catch and release only. Possession of a single tarpon will be allowed only when in pursuit of an International Game Fish Association record. Tarpon 40 inches or more must stay in the water at all times. FWC staff determined that larger fish are harmed if withdrawn from the supporting waters. The PTTS and other tournament organizers have recently adopted a calculation of weight based on measurements that can be taken with the fish in the water, but the new rule will be now applied across the state. Bonefish will not be allowed to be weighed and must be returned to the water with as little harm as possible. Neither fish is considered edible.

second place went to Chris Ellis and the Florida Highway Patrol, third place went to Dr. Mark Taylor and Taylor Chiropractic and fourth place went to Johnny Slay and Bonifay Athletic Club. “The community donated some of the food, all of the prizes and several cash donations including a very generous donation of $400 from Holmes County Teen Court,� said Lee. “Several students from Washington County and Holmes County schools earned community service hours by working in the concession stand and umpiring games/keeping score. Bonifay Chief of police Chris Wells also helped umpire several games.� She said there were a lot of donated items to raffle to help raise money for the cause. “Nicole Everson photography donated a photo session package valued at $600 and Trinity Martial Arts donated $500 worth of martial arts and cage fitness classes,� said Lee. “We were able to auction off items from Little Obsessions Boutique, The Silver Door, Southern Comfort Gift Boutique and Dashing Designs by Clarissa Moore.� The Washington-Holmes Domestic Violence Task Force holds a regular meeting the second
Thursday of every month, alternating between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. at the Washington-Holmes Technical Center.

In September they will visit Washington and Holmes County’s Board of County Commissioners with a proclamation acknowledging September as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. In October, they will hold a walk/vigil and a concert in memory of loved ones who have been affected by domestic violence. Lee also said that she is looking for anyone who would donate their house or facility as a shelter, explaining that they could receive no state funding until the shelter was successfully up and running for one year. “We’re a 501(c)3 not for profit organization and any donation is tax deductible,� Lee said. “If there was someone that could be so kind as to donate their empty home for a shelter it would be a tremendous blessing.� For more information, contact Lee at 850-596-3288, WashingtonHolmesDVtaskforce@yahoo.com or P.O.

Mosley’s Piorkowski chooses Boise State By JASON SHOOT
747-5069 | @PCNHJasonShoot jshoot@pcnh.com LYNN HAVEN — Like Henry Ford producing the world’s first automobiles with an assembly line of his creation, Gymnastics Plus is churning out college athletes with its own remarkable efficiency. Rose Piorkowski, a 15-yearold gymnast at Gymnastics Plus and junior-to-be at Mosley, has committed to Boise State University as part of the Broncos’ 2015 recruiting class. She is the fourth Gymnastics Plus member to attract a college scholarship in the past few years. Athletes in most sports wait until their senior year before the recruitment process ramps up to its full intensity, but gymnastics coaches at the college level aren’t waiting around. Piorkowski hadn’t even finished her sophomore year at Mosley before Boise State’s coaches had an offer on the table. “It’s kind of tough to be at such a young age and decide where to go,� Piorkowski said. “But now I don’t have to worry anymore. I know where I’m going
to college.� Piorkowski said her father is in the Air Force, and her family “has moved every three years.� She said she has lived in California, Kansas, Texas and Florida, so she may be better prepared than most teenagers to live on the other side of the country from her immediate family. “Then again,� she said, “it is 3,000 miles away. But I’ll have my team there. It’s like you get automatic friends in a way.� Piorkowski placed second all-around in her Level 10 group at the state championships in March, and she was 21st overall in the Region 8 Championships a month later, an effort that included a second-place finish on the vault. Gymnastics Plus coach Steve Arkell said that Piorkowski is good enough on the vault and floor right now that she could contribute on Boise State’s team in those disciplines. Piorkowski said that she needs work on the uneven bars if she wants to compete all-around for the Broncos. “Bars is the biggest thing I have to improve,� she said. “I don’t particularly care for the bars. The bars are where I have
the biggest mental block. I’d much rather be tumbling and make sure my feet can hit the ground. ‌ I have to improve on the bars if I want to make their lineup.â€? With her college choice finalized, Piorkowski said she won’t simply relax for the next two years. She said she has to stay in shape and add new skills. “Their coach said he was going to come out every couple months and see how I’m doing,â€? Piorkowski said. “I have to make sure I’m living up to their expectations.â€? Piorkowski follows in the footsteps of three former and current Gymnastics Plus teammates who have committed to NCAA Division I gymnastics programs. Alie Glover is at the University of Iowa, and current Gymnastics Plus gymnast Nikki Youd will join her on the Hawkeye roster in 2014. Another Gymnastics Plus alum, Chelsey Baker, is competing at Alaska-Anchorage. “We train long hours and we train hard,â€? Piorkowski said. “We’re all working, and we’re all dedicated. Steve and Sue (Arkell) have turned this program around. They’re such good coaches.â€?
C.H.A.M.P. Camp begins next week in Panama City From Staff Reports PANAMA CITY — The time is now for area football players to improve as athletes and as people. Bay County will be home to C.H.A.M.P. Camp starting next week. The camp has a mission to affect the lives of the clinics’ participants and will focus on fundamental skills, but players can expect guidance in areas off the field as well. The C.H.A.M.P. Camp, created by Campbellton native and Denver Broncos assistant director of pro personnel Anthony “Champ� Kelly, is slated for June 28-29 at Bozeman. Kelly’s camp is a fixture in the area and previously was hosted in Graceville. Kelly moved the camp, which is free to all participants, to Bozeman this
year in hopes of drawing in players from Bay, Jackson, Washington and Holmes counties. The C.H.A.M.P. Camp is a non-contact clinic, and kids ages 10-17 are invited to participate. Younger players will work on fundamentals, and older, more experienced players will receive more extensive training. Professional and college athletes will be on hand to provide instruction. Admission is free. Kelly overcame his own struggles early in life and played football collegiately at the University of Kentucky. He has progressed up the front office ladder in Denver since joining the Broncos as a scout in 2007. Sharing life advice is a cornerstone of his camp, and anyone interested in participating can visit heartpowerinc.org.

BMS students quilt for kids Special to Extra Bonifay Middle School’s Home Economic enrichm ent class held its fourth quilt show for the students and their families. There were 65 quilts on display, all made by the students and BMS home economics teacher Donna Rhodes. The Home Economics class has been very busy since the middle of January, work on these charity quilts. There were over 100 parents, grandparents as well as siblings of the quilters present to see the work of these students. The quilts have been made for “Quilts for Kids” a charity that gives quilts to children who are in the hospital or have been through a life threatening illness. Students voluntarily help sew and put together these quilts. The quilts will soon be donated to a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. This project gives students an opportunity to learn and use their talents and
abilities in a rewarding way. The hospital the quilts are going to allows direct delivery, which means the quilts are given to the hands of the child. “It is very rewarding to see the smiles on their faces as they receive a quilt. Some of the medical situations are hard on your heart, but you know that you are giving comfort to a child and parents. The emotions with each delivery can be overwhelming. However, I find good in each visit,” Rhodes said During the quilt show, a slide show was played of students working on their quilt with a picture of each student holding their finished product proudly. Students were given a certificate for their services and a picture of themselves with their quilt. Recognition was given to 10 students who showed special sewing machine skills. They received a special certificate for learning and working with the sewing machine properly.
This year, a special award, The Gold Thimble Award, was given to an eighth grade student who showed special skills and a good hardworking attitude. The award was given to Katie Tate. The quilt she completed this semester was Katie’s third quilt that she has made while in home economics. The students also gave a quilt to a young girl from Cottondale that has been through a life threatening illness. Her name is Julie Mayo, and she is 5 years old. One of the quilters, Shauni Hooper, met Julie in the hospital in Birmingham, Ala., while she went through a medical issue. Shauni presented Julie the quilt she made. The quilt was a “Princess and the Frog” theme. Bonifay Middle School will accept donations of new, brightly colored, kid-friendly, 100 percent cotton fabric. If interested in donating, bring items to the school.

Kiwanis Club hear about Covenant Hospice CHIPLEY — The Chipley Kiwanis Club met for its weekly luncheon at Pattillo’s Restaurant at the Washington-Holmes Technical Center on June 4. Lunch was provided by the students of the culinary program at the Technical Center. Key Club Liaison Member Garrett Martin presented a check to Belinda Collins for her service as the faculty advisor for the Chipley High School Key Club. Jennifer Griffin and
JENNIFER GRIFFIN
DONNA MELDON
Donna Meldon of the Covenant Hospice presented the program. Griffin noted the purpose of hospice care is to “put more life in your days when you can’t put more
days in your life.� She went on to say Covenant Hospice provides a huge amount of indigent care. The Garden Gala, which they promote in Marianna, is now in its eighth year. The Garden Gala provides funds to support indigent care. Local artists paint furniture items, which are auctioned off. There is also a silent auction. The painted garden items include six-foot benches, swings and chairs. The preview of these items is to be held Thursday at the
Marianna Office. The Gala has raised $56,000-60,000 annually. Griffin said $10 pays for one day of medical equipment while $100 will send one child to Camp Monarch at Pinnacle Point. The camp is held to help bereaved children deal with the loss of loved ones. Griffin’s job is fundraising for Covenant Hospice, including special events. On June 22, there will be a special dinner featuring
the Moonliters, a 16-piece jazz band. A highlight of the event will be a harpist who will perform. The cost is $60 per person or $100 per couple. Donna Meldon discussed the Volunteer Program. In the four-county area, there are more than 300 volunteers. They drove more than 4,000 miles last year and provided more than 8,300 volunteer hours. This included 5,000 hours of patient care and 3,000 hours of outreach
Kiwanis hear ear, nose and throat specialist CHIPLEY — The Chipley Kiwanis Club met for its weekly luncheon at Pattillo’s Restaurant at the Washington – Holmes Technical Center, on June 4. Lunch was provided by the students of the culinary program at the Technical Center. Paul Goulding, program chair, introduced Dr. James Wall, ear, nose and throat specialist (M.D. certified in otolaryngology)) at Northwest Florida Community Hospital as the program. Also present from the hospital were Heather Shelby, R.N., medical manager (case management, utilization review), and Dr. Martin Roberts (Internal Medicine and Hospitalist). Wall discussed medical emergencies of the ear, nose and head. Wall noted the eighth cranial nerve controls hearing and balance. Swimmer’s ear, a common summer problem for children, is often contracted by swimming in contaminated bodies of water such as ponds. Because the ear is close to the brain, swimmer’s ear left untreated can spread to the brain and become meningitis or a brain abscess. Children can develop cauliflower ears (deformed ears) from wrestling and can also be due to child abuse. The deformation of the ear is due to a vascular injury which causes a portion of the ear to wither. A middle ear infection, or otitis me-
dia, is painful and is often caused by a strep or pseudomonas infection and is treated with antibiotics. Sudden hearing loss, though unusual, should be seen to quickly since it can be caused by blockage of the cochlear artery or a viral infection. Either condition should be treated immediately since it can lead to permanent hearing loss. Hearing loss can be conductive or sensory neural loss such as ear wax or a hole in the membrane. The membrane in the ear is as thin as a butterfly’s wing. Gun shots or other loud noises can damage the membrane. People often experience a broken nose which often is crooked. It should be treated because a broken nose can result in a septal hematoma (blood clot inside the nose) which can dissolve the inside of the nose. A broken jaw can be diagnosed simply at home. Slip a table knife in each side of the teeth and have the person bite down. If the jaw is broken, one or both of the blades can be pulled out easily. Nose bleeds are either anterior or posterior (outside or inside). People who take blood thinner (this includes taking a regular aspirin daily) often have nose bleeds. A simple cure for a nose bleed is the over-the-counter spray Afrin. Afrin constricts the blood vessels and can stop the nose bleed.
Aspirin is a blood thinner because aspirin stops the platelets from working. The platelets in the blood are what causes blood to coagulate. Posterior nose bleeds are more difficult because the treatment is a long plug like a very slim tampon which the doctor inserts in the nose. The plug can be blown up and needs to stay in the nose for hours to help the blood vessel coagulate. Posterior nose bleeds are often due to high blood pressure or blood thinners. Sinus pain in the face can be caused by allergies or a sinus infection. Because the sinuses are close to the eyes, a sinus infection sometimes can cause blindness in 24-72 hours. This is why sinus infections should not be ignored if they continue. All of these conditions can happen but usually do not. However, it is great to have an experienced physician in the community to treat these medical emergencies when they occur. Member David Eaton, pharmacist at Northwest Florida Community Hospital, said the hospital has acquired a new hearing booth, which should be in operation in the next few weeks. A doctor of audiology will be working with Wall to test hearing, including newborns and children too young to talk. Appointments for hearing tests can be scheduled by calling the hospital or Walls’ office at 415-8185.

Gritney VFD boot drive totals $1,000 for tornado victims By CECILIA SPEARS

Volunteer Fire Department “I’m surprised and so
very proud of the support that has been given to this department,� said Seale. “We were expecting around $200 max and when we made it to $500 it was amazing. The community has been a blessing and we hope to build more and more of a relationship with them.� Some extended efforts being made by the department to strengthen community bonds, explained Seale, are to hold an event for the community at least once a month. “On July 11, 12 and 13 we’ll be holding a summer day camp for the children,� she said. “We’ll have Smokey the Bear come out on Thursday, West Florida Electric come out on Friday
and on Saturday we’ll hold a fun day,� said Seale. “If anyone wants to donated some bouncy houses for that day that would be more than welcomed.� She requested anyone interested in attended to preregister their children so that they will be able to accommodate to all children. She said they are also looking for more women to join the auxiliary.
“You don’t have to be a member of the fire department to be a part of the auxiliary,� said Seale. “We’re a group of women raising money through bake sales and the like so that we can do more for the community at no charge. We also welcome junior firefighters, which we help train until they are of age to volunteer.� For more information contact Seale at 768-0848.
Crossword PUZZLE
Reveille VII, former A&M Mascot, dies “There are several surgical and medical treatment options available depending on which joint is affected,� said Goodrich. “Joint replacements are performed on a case-by-case basis. Arthroscopy is also routinely used to evaluate and treat the joint in a minimally invasive manner.� A veterinarian may give your dog steroid injections to help relieve inflammation. Drugs, such as polysulfated glycosaminoglycan injections, help protect cartilage with minimal side effects. “Medical options include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, of which there are several on the veterinary medical market,� said Eckman. “Most of them are actually formulated for osteoarthritis.� However, never give your pets human medications such as ibuprofen or aspirin, as they can cause serious harm to your pet’s stomach, kidneys, and liver. “When you use the drugs together, you can actually use less drug overall because they complement each other,� said Eckman. Physical therapy, such as work on a water treadmill, is very important. “Treatment for arthritis sometimes requires multiple types of therapy,� said Jacqueline Davidson, clinical professor at the CVM. “Reveille was given several different types of oral medication for pain and inflammation and received injections of a joint lubricant and a steroid into several of the more severely affected joints. She also received injections of a medication in the muscle to help with joint pain and inflammation.� Reveille’s diet was also controlled throughout her therapy to make sure that
she stayed at a lean body weight, and she took several different dietary supplements for her joints, one of which was an omega-3 fatty acid, to help reduce pain associated with inflammation. “Being overweight results in more stress on the joints because they are supporting more weight,� said Davidson. “In addition, excess body fat promotes inflammation in the body and can worsen the signs of arthritis.� Reveille came to the TAMU veterinary physical rehabilitation service several times weekly. Her treatments included electro-acupuncture and laser therapy for pain and she exercised regularly in the underwater treadmill. “Walking in water is helpful for arthritis because the buoyancy of the water reduces stress on the joints, allowing for more comfortable movement,� said Davidson. “In addition, the water provides some resistance, which helps promote leg strength.� The TAMU Small Animal Hospital also provides nonmedical treatments to help with pain, such as dry needling, laser, highenergy wave therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and electro-acupuncture. A veterinarian can give recommendations for various dietary supplements and a home exercise plan, as well as provide dietary counseling to choose the most appropriate diet to maintain lean body weight in your pet. “There is no one right recipe for every dog,� Eckman said. “You have options, and you have to determine what works and what doesn’t work.�

Too many loose Day or puff Father’s Day ends concerning Father’s spending. Personally, I am Day. It is a “true crime� the
way certain things are left hanging concerning fathers. Some fathers have felt like “the dead pool� around Father’s Day, not knowing exactly what to expect. Mother’s Day is rather simple. Every mother knows she will get certain things; flowers, a Mother’s Day card and dinner at her favorite restaurant. By the time Father’s Day comes around everybody is so exhausted from Mother’s Day, not to mention most fathers are broke, nobody knows exactly how to make dad’s day special. Too many people are uptight about Father’s Day and feel like they are running “the gauntlet.� When I say people, I am referring primarily to Yours Truly. Nobody seems to know what to do about good ole dad on his special day. Fortunately, I have some ideas along this line. With some of the presents I have received, I am beginning to think my children imagine me as a “space cowboy,� or maybe a “high plains drifter� driving around in a “pink Cadillac� heading for “the bridges of Madison County.� When it comes to being a father, I assure you I am not “the rookie� walking on a “tightrope,� directly “in the line of fire� running toward “heartbreak ridge.� I have quite a bit of experience being a father, going back more than 40 years. As a father, I have three children notched on my belt. At times, I have felt like “the
enforcer� and the only way to deal with those children was to use “magnum force� and “hang ‘em high.� I must confess at times I felt like a “pale rider� sweating it out in the “city heat,� realizing no matter how hard I try it is not “a perfect world� we live in. What would make my day, and other fathers’ day, would be a present I could really use, or at least understand without spending an entire day reading the directions. In spite of all this, I have discovered one thing; being a father is its own reward. The Bible puts fatherhood high on the list of important positions in life. David, the Psalmist, put his feelings about being a father into familiar words to all who have read the Bible. “Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.� (Psalm 127:3-5 KJV.) This year, my advice is, go ahead and make dad’s day. He deserves it. Rev. James L. Snyder is pastor of the Family of God Fellowship, PO Box 831313, Ocala, FL 34483.

Bonifay gospel sing returns July 6 Special to Extra BONIFAY — The Bonifay Southern Gospel Sing will be held on Saturday July 6 beginning at 6 p.m. at the Holmes County High School located at 825 West Highway 90. This year the sing will host The Nelons and Evangelist David Ring. Also appearing will be the Four Calvary and One Heart. With numerable awards and accolades including three Grammy Nominations, Six Gospel Music Association Dove Awards and many songs that have soared to the top of national radio charts, The Nelons continue to produce innovative music that embraces their traditional roots, while simultaneously reaching beyond various musical boundaries with an emphasis on introducing songs for the church. The Nelons’ have a heavy touring schedule consisting of more than 150 concerts annually that takes their brand of Christian music around the world. They are regulars on the Bill Gaither Homecoming Tour and the famed Gaither Homecoming Video Series. During the rare times when the Nelons’ are not on the road, they serve
as Artists in Residence at Jacksonville’s Trinity Baptist Church. As they travel, they’re Ambassadors for Trinity Baptist College, where Amber attends. For (original group member) Kelly Nelon Clark, singing alongside her husband (song-writer and group arranger) Jason Clark, and daughter (vocal power-house), Amber Nelon Thompson this is a full-circle moment as she reflects on the countless nights she shared the stage with her Hall of Fame Father, Rex Nelon. Nationally known speaker, David Ring, will be speaking at the Bonifay sing. Born in Jonesboro, Ark., David was deprived of oxygen for 18 minutes at birth leaving him with cerebral palsy. Orphaned at the age of 14 after both parents died of cancer, he was cast from family to family with nowhere to call home. He endured constant physical pain, humiliating public ridicule and constant discouragement. Yet he chose to be victorious rather than a victim. After surrendering his heart and life to Jesus Christ, he learned self-respect and acceptance of his physical challenges. To most, physical challenges of this mag-
nitude would prove to be a tombstone. For David Ring, this coming of age was and remains a milestone. Although difficult at first to understand, Ring quickly captures his audiences with his quick wit and warm personality. He always focuses on an individual’s need to conquer the personal challenges and adversities of life. As one who has not been stifled by his physical limitations, he clearly states his challenge to everyone. “I have Cerebral Palsy‌what’s your problem?â€? asks Ring. Tickets are $10 in advance and $13 at the door for adults, ages 6 - 12 are $5 advance and $7 at the door, and ages 5 and younger will be free. Advance tickets can be purchased at the Piggly Wiggly in Bonifay, Dove Christian Supply in Dothan and Enterprise, Ala., One South Bank in Chipley, and Gospel Lighthouse Christian Store in Crestview.

West Florida Teen Challenge welcomes new director By CECILIA SPEARS
547-9414 | @WCN_HCT cspears@chipleypaper.com BONIFAY — West Florida Teen Challenge Christian Gateway Military Academy welcomed their new director Clay Hatcher on June 10. West Florida Teen Challenge Gateway Military Academy is a Christian military school that specializes in children ages 11 to 17 that have behavioral issues. Hatcher said he had 10 years experience, but at first he didn’t want the job. “I was working at the Wellness Institute in Ponce de Leon in 2002 and wanted to move on to disciplining to young men,� said Hatcher. “People suggested I apply at Teen Challenge so I came down to apply. I had a two-hour wait, I wasn’t impressed, it was unorganized, I was frustrated and critical and left feeling there was no way I was going to teach there.� He said a dream he had that evening was what changed his mind. “I had a dream that recreated the events the day before only this time instead of turning into Teen Challenge I kept going down the road,� he said. “Then, in the rearview mirror I seen a dark cloud over where the Teen Challenge was and a tornado touched down. I remember feeling terror and turning around to go back to help them.� In his dream he saw that the entire facility was laid to waste. “I looked around and saw a foot and after digging I found that the person was already dead,� he said.

West Florida Teen Challenge welcomed their new director Clay Hatcher on June 10. “I listened and all I could hear was the cries of people hurting. I remember going through the wreckage, digging people out and administering first aid, all the while wondering and looking to see when help would arrive.� He said he cried out to God and asked when the help would come and he said that’s when God told him “you are that help.� “I woke up crying and told my wife that I was going to accept the job,� he said. “At first she was against it and then I told her my dream and she cried and said it was a sign. I committed myself to one year and ended up staying 10 years.� He said in 2012 he resigned and went to preach at a local church. “About this time last year I wanted out so I lead a church and watched it grow,� said Hatcher. “What God showed me was that he could use me any where and my place was at Teen Challenge. The director was leaving to start a Teen Challenge in Colorado and he called me saying that they needed me.� After he got off the phone with Teen Challenge he said he called his father
for advice. “My father asked me if God had gifted me to do what others would not and my answer was ‘yes,’� he said. “It took me three weeks but I finally chose to come back. I’ve seen changes that need to be made and now I’m in a position to do so.� One of those changes, said Hatcher, was to be more involved with the community. “We moved our Wednesday night services to Thursday nights so that we can invite the public to come,� he said. “We’re going to have a youth revival called Regardless based on Joshua’s statement ‘choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.’ We want to stir the youth of Holmes County to stand up for Christ.� For more information on West Florida Teen Challenge Christian Gateway Military Academy visit their website at http://christianmilitaryschool.org/.
