BONIFAY — The countdown to the 2013 Northwest Florida Championship Rodeo continues with only eight days to go. Bonifay Kiwanis President Elect Sandy Spear provided some of the latest news at the Bonifay Kiwanis Club’s Sept. 18 meeting. “We are just so excited about what this year has to offer,” Spear said. “We now have tickets available online, and we’ve just sold our first tickets online. We’re also offering for the first time ever VIP tickets.” With VIP tickets, ticket holders get preferred parking behind the concession stands, a commemorative cushion with specialized seating at the bull gates, someone to run to and from the concession stands for food and beverages and a back arena pass, allowing them to meet the riders and take pictures with barrel men, clowns and others. “We’re limiting it to 100 VIP tickets per night,” Spear said. “This really gives them a chance to feel like VIPs. This idea was brought to us by our new stock contractor.” Another new feature Spear said she was excited about was the largest raffle prize the rodeo has ever offered.

August unemployment drops to 7.0 From Staff Reports TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott announced last week that the statewide unemployment rate for August 2013 dropped to 7.0 percent. This is down from 7.1 percent in May, June, and July 2013, and down 4.1 percentage points since December 2010. The statewide unemployment rate has remained below the national average of 7.3 percent for the sixth consecutive month. Florida has created 365,500 private sector jobs since December 2010. In Holmes County, the August 2013 rate dropped to 5.9 percent, according to Department of La-
HOLMES COUNTY
bor reports, down from 6.5 percent in July and down from the August 2012 unemployment rate of 7.4 percent. In Washington County, August saw a dip from 8.3 percent unemployment in July to 7.8 percent in August 2013. In August 2012, Washington County had an unemployment rate of 9.4 percent. “Today’s announcement is great news for Florida families as the state’s unemployment rate dropped to 7.0 percent in August,” Scott said. “Since December 2010, the unemployment rate has dropped 4.1 percentage points, and Florida has created 365,500 new private sector jobs. This is evidence that our pro-
growth and business-friendly policies are working.” In the same timeframe, the national unemployment rate has dropped 2.0 percentage points, demonstrating Florida’s improving economic climate continues to outpace the national recovery. Florida’s unemployment rate has now declined year-over-year for 34 consecutive months. The governor said Florida has experienced positive annual job growth for 37 consecutive months. Florida’s job growth month-to-month has been positive for 23 of the last 26 months. Florida has created 365,500

City prepares for rodeo with new fees By CECILIA SPEARS
“Businesses and other land owners are charging these vendors for setting up on their property, and I think it’s about time we did, too. And from what I’m hearing, we’re giving them a very good deal.”
547-9414 | @WCN_HCT cspears@chipleypaper.com BONIFAY — The Bonifay City Council decided on Monday to “get in on the action” of this year’s Northwest Florida Championship Rodeo by approving a $200 fee for vendors to set up for three days on city property, which is in addition to the $100 vendor’s license they charge every year. The council agreed to continue exempting local churches from any fees. “Businesses and other land owners are charging these vendors for setting up on their property, and I think it’s about time we did, too,” Mayor Lawrence Cloud said. “And from what I’m hearing, we’re giving them a very good deal.” The council approved of purchasing a John Deere excavator for $41,460, plus an additional tilt angle blade estimated at around $1,200, to be financed through the First Federal Bank at an interest rate of 2.5 percent. “John Deere, CAT and Komatsu came and held a demonstration for us and gave us
Mayor Lawrence Cloud quotes to choose from,” Cloud said. “They all performed well, but we can all agree that the John Deere has what we need for the job.” The council agreed to put in an application to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Recreation and Parks for a Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program Grant in the amount of $50,000 for the further development of Middlebrooks Park. The council also held the first reading of an ordinance to renew Gulf Power’s franchise agreement with the city of Bonifay and agreed to request a representative attend the next scheduled council meeting. The council also approved the final
reading of Ordinance 386, which sets for the city’s budget. Dianne Little with Holmes County Community Health Clinic came before the council to inform the councilmen of their progress over the past year. “We’ve been experiencing so many blessings at our clinic,” Little said. “Our clinic provides free help for any and all without insurance and is a ministry First Baptist Church of Bonifay. We operate completely on volunteers like Dr. Bailey, and in the last 12 months we’ve seen over 250 people.” She said she had added up the time and services provided by volunteers and estimated they have saved the city around $50,000 in medical expenses. “We are very proud and love
what we are doing for our community,” Little said. “When we were here last year, we weren’t sure where we were going to be in a year, but here we are seeing an average of 15 to 16 patients a day.” She said the clinic is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. first and third Saturdays and is one block East of First Baptist Church Bonifay near Bonifay Middle School Gym. They would welcome donations like an extra desk, furniture and a computer and welcome any volunteer nurse practitioners. The council approved of the Holmes County Mounted Posse holding their annual Veterans’ Day Parade starting at 10 a.m. Nov. 9 down Waukesha Street in Bonifay and agreed to provide hot dog lunches at Veterans’ Park after the parade. “They sacrificed their lives so that we can be free,” said Joe Hardy, with the Holmes County Mounted Posse. “The least we can do is show our appreciation by holding a parade in their honor.” The next scheduled meeting of the Bonifay City Council is at 6 p.m. Oct. 14.
UNEMPLOYMENT from page A1 new private sector jobs since December 2010, and the state is expected to create almost 1.1 million new jobs by 2018, according to the Florida Economic Estimating Conference. Florida job postings compiled by the Help Wanted OnLine data series from The Conference Board showed 266,467 openings in August 2013 (seasonally adjusted). Florida had the largest over-the-month gain of all states, up 11,644 openings. Florida had the fourth highest number of openings in the nation compared to all states. Also, Florida home sales remain robust as the backlog of existing homes on the market is
down by 23 percent from August 2012, Scott said. Florida median home prices were up 18.6 percent over the year in August 2013. A recent U.S. Census Survey reported that Florida experienced an influx of people moving into the state. Florida also led the nation in migrations from Puerto Rico. Florida is also running a trade surplus of more than $24 billion — with $86.8 billion in exports and $62.4 billion in imports in 2011, up from $73.1 billion in exports in 2010 and $53.2 billion in imports in 2010, according to the governor’s report. In August, Florida’s 24 Re-
gional Workforce Boards reported more than 41,000 Floridians were placed in jobs. This represents an increase of almost 12,000 placements over the year from August 2012. An individual who receives employment and training assistance through a One-Stop Career Center and finds a job within 180 days is deemed a placement and may be reported by a regional workforce board. Of these individuals, 11,967 previously received Reemployment Assistance. In 2012, more than 426,000 Floridians were placed in jobs, with 111,173 former claimants finding employment.

The history of Relay For Life Special to the News You may have heard of The American Cancer Society Relay For Life but do you know the story behind The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. Are you asking yourself, what is Relay For Life? If so I am going to tell you the story as provided to me by the American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, tams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length. Relay began in 1985 when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon in Tacoma, Washington, ran and walked around a track for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Since then, Relay has grown from a single man’s passion to fight cancer into the world’s largest movement to end the dis-
ease. Each year, more than 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities in the United States, along with additional communities in 20 other countries, gather to take part in the global phenomenon and raise muchneeded funds and awareness to save lives from cancer. Thanks to Relay participants, the American Cancer Society continues to save lives. No that you know what Relay For Life is you may now be wondering, What happens at Relay For Life events? Although every Relay For Life is different, there are certain traditions at all Relays, no matter where they are held. These traditions help participants celebrate, remember, and fight back. We Celebrate with the Survivors Lap Relay starts with a Survivors Lap- a inspirational time when survivors are invited to circle the tack together and help everyone celebrate the victories we’ve achieved over cancer. The Survivors Lap is an emotional example of how Relay participants are ensuring that more lives are saved each year- like those of each individual on the track. We also recognize and celebrate caregivers are Relay For Life. These individuals give their time, love, and support to friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers who face cancer. At
Relay, people understand the frustrations and joys of being a caregiver, since the effects of cancer reach far beyond just the person diagnosed. We Remember with the Luminaria Ceremony After dark, we honor people who have been touched by cancer and remember loved ones lost to the disease during the Luminaria Ceremony. Candles are lit inside bags filled with sand, each one bearing the name of a person touched by cancer, and participant often walk a lap in silence. As people take time to remember, those who have walked alongside others battling cancer can grieve and find healing. This is a time that truly highlights the importance of defeating this disease. We Fight Back with The Fight Back Ceremony Last, there is a Fight Back Ceremony, where we make a personal commitment to save lives by taking up the fight against cancer. That personal commitment may be to do something a simple as getting a screening test, quitting smoking, or talking to elected officials about cancer. By taking action, people are personally taking steps to save lives and fight back against a disease that takes too much Celebrate, Remember, and Fight Back are themes that link all Relay Events together.

Scott’s bad bet When it comes to defending the legality of his executive order to drug test state employees, Florida Gov. Rick Scott embraces the Han Solo philosophy of reckless abandon: Never tell him the odds. Nevertheless, maneuvering through a crowded asteroid field at high speed is a walk in the park compared to Scott’s chances of surviving the federal courts. Shortly after taking office in 2011, Scott signed an executive order mandating random drug tests for some 85,000 state employees and job applicants. When it was challenged in court by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and the American Civil Liberties Union, Scott suspended the order, so it’s never been implemented — nor will it likely ever be, at least not in full. Last year, U.S. District Judge Ursula Ungaro in Miami ruled Scott’s policy violated the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable searches. In May, a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the ban on random drug tests on all state employees, saying it “almost certainly sweeps far too broadly.” However, the court sent the case back to Ungaro on the grounds that legal precedent allows government to randomly test some employees, even those not suspected of illegal drug use. Indeed, courts have ruled that workers in safetysensitive jobs — police, firefighters, pilots, train conductors, etc. — can be randomly tested, because the government has a compelling interest in protecting the public. Ungaro plans to appoint a special master to come up with a proposed list of those positions. Scott should’ve declared victory — albeit a narrow one — and called it a day. Last week, though, Charles Trippe, a lawyer representing the governor, requested that Ungaro postpone that process while the state appeals — all the way to the U.S. Supreme
Court. The judge about fell out of her chair. The governor has “about zero chance” of winning that, Ungaro said. Delaying on appeal would push the case into 2014, an election year for Scott. Ungaro seemed mystified about the strategy. “Do we hope the governor will be voted out of office?” Ungaro asked. “Is this the idea, keep the ball up in the air, pray he is not re-elected?” She refused to postpone the process of identifying state jobs that would pass constitutional muster unless Scott agreed to abandon the executive order if the Supreme Court declined to hear the case. Trippe said he couldn’t promise that. Scott is holding a pair of 2s and going all in with his chips. It wouldn’t be the first time. Scott already has seen another drug policy he supported, a 2011 law that mandated drug testing for all welfare recipients, shot down by the courts. The 11th Circuit this year said the state had not proved there was any need for the law, that there was “no evidence that simply because an applicant for … benefits is having financial problems, he is also drug addicted or prone to fraudulent and neglectful behavior.” The governor vowed to appeal that one all the way to Washington, too. Maybe in his mind he’s got nothing to lose. He can make a quixotic stand on an issue that usually garners high public support — most people are more concerned about the morality of drug use than the constitutionality of policies. If he loses, he can blame the black-robed masters who care not about substance abuse. It’s Floridians who pay the price, though — literally. The Orlando Sentinel reported last December that Scott in 2012 cost state taxpayers upward of $1 million in legal appeals. He needs to stop gambling with the public’s money, especially when he’s the sucker sitting at the table.

We know we have missed funerals which normally one or both would have attended. This includes my cousin, Wilma Wells Stubbs, who passed away in early August. I missed the funeral of Bill Day, the brother of Paul Day. Bill had just retired from the Washington County School system when he was stricken and passed away after only a few days. Neither could I attend the service for Charles Reeves, who passed away after a lengthy illness. Charles was County Forrester, who retired after a long tenure of service. Pearl Moody Newsom’s funeral was missed and I know there are others. Hester regretted missing the funeral for Esto resident and longtime friend of the family, Bill McGowan. Apologizes are extended should this writing begin to sound like a “sob story.” I felt inclined to report on my absence in so many places during this fast moving year. I am happy to report that both Hester and I are on the “mend”. With another week or so of iron sulfate in the old system, the Prattler should be back in the full swing of things. Thanks for all the interest shown in our well being and prayers for better days ahead. See you all next week.

Water proposal watered down
JROTC
Southerland’s resolution asks states to work together By MATTHEW BEATON
522-5114 | @matthewbeaton mbeaton@pcnh.com APALACHICOLA — U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland on Thursday shelved a proposal that could have helped safeguard Apalachicola Bay’s current freshwater supply, opting instead for a resolution requesting Florida, Georgia and Alabama work together on divvying up the available water coming from Lake Lanier near Atlanta. The bay’s oyster population has been devastated, primarily from the lack of freshwater coming down the Apalachicola River, which is fed by the lake. The Panama City Republican’s amendment would have required the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to get congressional approval before diverting more than 5 percent of the flow, but he pulled back when the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee chairman told him the amendment went too far. Southerland said the chairman offered a substitute amendment — “basically edited my amendment” — halting its progress. “It wasn’t all that I wanted … but it was a lot more than we had the day before yesterday,” he said. The resolution — “sense of Congress” language — passed the committee unanimously and was tacked on to the Water Resources Reform Development Act, which cleared the panel.
“When Georgia has the upper hand like that, I don’t see any incentive for them to come to the table, the Corps doesn’t have a perspective that’s going to help Florida at all.” Dan Tonsmeire Executive Director of Apalachicola Riverkeeper An Apalachicola environmental group, however, said the resolution won’t do much to benefit the bay. “What resulted out of that was not helpful,” said “I mean, what they’ve done essentially is say to the Corps that, you know, they need to encourage the three states to get in a compact and work this thing out.” Tonsmeire praised Southerland’s committee speech but said the legislative action would yield little. He also noted the legislation has a long way to go before becoming law. Tonsmeire said even the initial amendment would not have helped much; it only would have kept the flow from decreasing more, rather than requiring the Corps to increase it. Southerland, meanwhile, was confident his actions would have an effect. “Even though I didn’t get everything I wanted, I do believe that the ‘sense of Congress’ language that the chairman allowed to be put in the bill did highlight the inaction of the Corps,” he said, “and so we’re trying to put more pressure and up the ante on the Corps.”
Possible report and hearing Southerland has another plan to spur federal action. He will request a Government Accountability Office report on the Corps’ reduction of water flow to the bay. He said committee chairman Bill Shuster, R-Penn., agreed to help him get the report and made a commitment to hold a hearing in which the Corps would come before the full committee to answer questions and respond to the report. “I know what that report is going to say; it’s going to say that the Corps of Engineers has been woeful in addressing the needs of the Apalachicola River Basin,” Southerland said. Tonsmeire said this plan was “really encouraging” and the focus must be on pressuring the Corps to care about the bay’s freshwater needs. He would most like to see a provision in the WRRDA bill requiring the Corps to increase flow to the bay, but Southerland has not committed to including such language. Meanwhile, the two share common ground in their distaste for the Corps. Southerland slammed it during his
ACA HEALTH INSURANCE MARKETPLACE OPENS OCT 1 Community Pharmacies Offer Insight, Support
impassioned committee speech, saying, “The Corps is the problem.” In the past five decades, water flow down the Apalachicola River has decreased by more than 50 percent, Southerland told the committee. “This is a proud region, a place where heritage matters, and it’s a place on the verge of extinction,” he said in his speech.
Unity unlikely Tonsmeire said Florida and Georgia are unlikely to work together on dividing the water since Gov. Rick Scott recently announced a lawsuit against the northern neighbor over the dispute. Even without the suit, Georgia would have no reason to bargain because the Corps essentially is giving it everything it wants, Tonsmeire said. “When Georgia has the upper hand like that, I don’t see any incentive for them to come to the table,” he said, adding, the Corps doesn’t have a “perspective that’s going to help Florida at all.” As for Southerland, he has dug in for the long fight. He said he was “one new soldier in this battle that’s been going on for decades.” And he said the Florida delegation is unified on this issue — all 27 lawmakers, 19 Republicans and eight Democrats, signed on to a letter he sent recently laying out the case. “We are still very solidly sticking together,” he said. “Now Georgia, obviously, they’re fighting for their interests.”

Open enrollment for what is known as the Health Insurance Marketplace (or Insurance Exchange) begins Oct. 1 and will run through March 31, 2014. An important part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Marketplace allows Americans to select a health insurance plan and sign up for coverage.
It is important that consumers educate themselves about the benefits and the provider network included within each plan they consider, Steverson said. “Although all plans in the Marketplaces must offer the minimum of the federally-defined essential health benefits, there may be differences between the additional benefits offered by plans in our area. Also, find out if your family doctor or any specialists you use are in the plan’s provider network. Then, learn if you will be restricted to only network physicians, which could be limiting if you travel frequently.” Where can consumers turn to find information about the ACA or the Health Insurance Marketplace? “Community pharmacies have always been a trusted resource when it comes to personalized healthcare service,” Steverson added. “And we’re here to help our patients and neighbors, now, during this time of widespread change.” We’ll help you choose the Medicare Part D plan that meets your healthcare needs and saves you money. Whether you are new to Medicare or re-evaluating your Medicare prescription drug coverage, we will help you choose the right plan.

Bonifay native appointed interim dean of UWF College of Arts and Sciences Special to Times-Advertiser PENSACOLA — Dr. Michael Huggins was appointed interim dean of the University of West Florida College of Arts and Sciences in August 2013. The Bonifay native and 1992 Holmes County High School graduate previously served as professor and chair for the Department of Chemistry. “I lived in Bonifay my whole life, in fact I grew up in Dogwood Lakes and graduated from Holmes County High School in 1992,” Huggins said. “Most of my family still lives in Bonifay.” Huggins said he got to where he is “with just plain hard work.” “I grew up in an environment that thought hard work and had a job most of my life. I became fascinated with science in my sixth grade year of attending Bonifay Elementary School after a series of events,” Huggins said. “That was around the time of the Hale Bopp Comet and the Challenger disaster. Also, I had a teacher named Mrs. Carswell who was very interested and science and encouraged us to also take a deep interest in science as well.” “Mike is a proven university leader with a record of excellent contributions and service to the University,” said Martha Saun-

from the University of NevadaReno in 2000. He has received several awards and fellowships over the course of his career, including the University Faculty Distinguished Service Award and the College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Teaching Award. As a professor, Dr. Huggins has taught courses in organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, organic synthesis, structure elucidation and spectroscopy. While at UWF, Huggins has led large research groups, with more than 75 undergraduate students working in his lab. Many of these students have been co-authors on peer-reviewed publications and have presented their work at national and international chemistry conferences. In addition, Dr. Huggins has worked on industrial contracts with numerous chemical companies in the Pensacola area and beyond. “For those who are interested in going into the field my advice would be to work hard and ask a lot of questions,” Huggins said. “By nature scientists have to be inquisitive. Science is about asking all kinds of questions to find out more about how something works or why things are the way they are and that is how discoveries are made.”

Road would link State 79, Pier Park By VALERIE GARMAN
747-5076 | @valeriegarman vgarman@pcnh.com PANAMA CITY BEACH — A “Back” Back Beach Road might be in Panama City Beach’s future after all. The city is in the preliminary planning stages of extending the existing portion of Pier Park Drive north of U.S. 98 and routing it to the west to intersect with State 79. The extension of Pier Park Drive potentially could serve as the longrumored initial stage of a project to create what city officials are calling a “Back” Back Beach Road in Panama City Beach. City Manager Mario Gisbert said the project is important because the extension “basically becomes the first leg of what someday would be … what we’re calling ‘Back’ Back Beach Road.” “There are some long-, long-, long-term projects out there. This is looking way out in the future,” Gisbert said. Gisbert said the initial project will be recommended to the Florida Department of Transportation by the Bay County Transportation Planning Organization (TPO), an agency responsible for examining the county road system and prioritizing projects based on funding availability. So far, no money has been allocated for the proposal. On the TPO’s 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan, “Back” Back Beach Road is mapped out to begin at Richard Jackson Boulevard and run parallel
to U.S. 98 west into Walton County, ending on U.S. 98 just west of County 30A. Gisbert said the TPO will elevate the project to “cost feasible” during its 2014 update. The city also is in discussions with the land owners, The St. Joe Co., regarding the expansion of Pier Park Drive, Gisbert said. “This is something the city is always looking at, … making Back Beach Road more efficient, especially with all the new development,” said Gisbert, who noted the FDOT is considering the project. The existing stretch of Pier Park Drive to the north of Back Beach Road lies directly west of the Pier Park North shopping center site, a 360,000square-foot development slated to open in the spring. Bay County Commissioner Mike Thomas said the project also would help in easing traffic congestion at State 79 and Back Beach Road during the annual Ironman Triathlon in November. The County Commission approved routes for the race at a meeting Tuesday, despite complaints from residents that the route causes congestion, especially at the busy Back Beach intersection. Thomas agreed the expansion also would help ease traffic in the area year-round. “With this new construction over there it will also make a difference, with” Pier Park North, Thomas said. “It would make a huge difference there, I would imagine.”

Congressman optimistic on airport’s future By VALERIE GARMAN
747-5076 | @valeriegarman vgarman@pcnh.com WEST BAY — U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland was optimistic Monday as he toured Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) and held a subsequent discussion with travel and tourism industry leaders. “The good news is we have the world’s most beautiful beaches, we’ve got the world’s finest seafood and we’ve got the world’s friendliest people,” Southerland said of his native Bay County. “If you’ve got those three things, (visitors are) going to come. It’s not if; it’s when.” Airport officials led Southerland, a member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, on a tour of the facility, including a look into the control tower, baggage screening system and a site ECP Director Parker McClellan said someday could house U.S. Customs and Border Protection. McClellan said the airport hopes to begin targeting air charter services from international destinations in Europe, Canada and South America. “Once Panama City gets discovered, the Europeans will jump all over it,” McClellan said. Despite a glass-half-full attitude, there was no shaking talk of challenges as the airport plans for the future.
Heather Leiphart | The News Herald
U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland shakes hands with Joseph Kouns, right, in the control tower Monday while on a behind-thescenes tour of the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in Panama City Beach. Southerland, R-Panama City, said the visit helped him put a looming issue at the airport into perspective — the potential defunding of the Federal Aviation Administration’s contract tower program, of which ECP participates. The airport would be at risk of losing about $600,000 for tower operations annually if the program is cut from the federal Department of
Transportation budget. The program will remain intact for the upcoming fiscal year, but there is uncertainty down the road. “The contract towers are critical to serve the medium and small markets around the country,” Southerland said. “It gets down to budgeting. … In Washington, we’re looking at numbers on a page, but when we come down here and visit, it’s bigger than that.” State tourism officials also expressed concern with dwindling funding for U.S. Customs staff in Florida’s many international airports, but they commended Southerland for his sponsorship of the JOLT Act, which will boost opportunities for international travel into the U.S. While Bay County drives a successful seasonal tourism market, Southerland also addressed the need for growing industry in Northwest Florida to support the airport year-round. “We can’t just depend on one sector,” said Southerland, who stressed the need for an economic balance, highlighting strides in Bay County’s medical industry and value in the area’s military bases and defense contractors. “Obviously, those beautiful beaches, that’s going to attract people,” Southerland said. “We want to make this a full-time destination where people want to raise their children.”

One of the first railways in the country was built to the Port of St. Joe in the 1800s. “There are some trestles that need work, and the state is going to step in and help us with that when the time comes,” Pitts said. One of the port’s greatest assets is the about 260 acres of combined ready-tobe-leased lands next to the bulkheads and the more than 5,000 acres of land in the port environs available for immediate development. Businesses wishing to establish facilities have plenty of room to build and expand. Pitts said the Pensacola port has only 50 acres, and Panama City has 105 acres for its port. The Port Authority is working to secure the funding for the necessary permits to dredge the shipping channel up to 37 feet. The St. Joe Company has partnered with the Port Authority by providing $250,000 in match for a $750,000 state Department of Transportation grant to dredge the port. “After the initial dredging, the Army Corps of Engineers will take over, and they will keep it dredged to 37 feet within a plus or minus of 2 feet,” Pitts said. The port will not accommodate ships that draw 50 feet, but because of increased international shipping, many smaller ships that are being displaced from other ports will find their way to Port St. Joe. The AN Railway LLC also is receiving $5 million to rehabilitate about 19 miles of rail and 17 structures including a trestle over the Apalachicola River to accommodate freight trains to and from the port. According to the port’s website, the St. Joe Company has signed a letter of intent with Enova Energy Group, a full-service, clean energy development company specializing in development and operations of contracted renewable based assets. Enova has expressed an interest in transporting a minimum of 1 million metric tons per year of wood pellets using the AN Railway to the Port of Port St. Joe for further shipment to overseas markets. Chamber Executive Director Ted Everett said the wood pellet industry also is having a positive effect on local land owners who harvest trees. “Prices for pulp was $5 per ton, and they are now $12-$18 per ton,” Everett said. The St. Joe Company has also signed a letter of intent with Green Circle Bio Energy Inc., a producer of biomass based renewable energy, Pitts said. The LOI anticipates several potential new business development opportunities to create jobs in the Northwest Florida region. Green Circle is interested in leasing a site from St. Joe along the AN Railway to develop a wood pellet production facility. Green Circle operates the world’s second largest wood pellet plant in Cottondale. The wood pellets produced at the new production facility can be transported via truck or AN Railway to the port for further shipment overseas. Both LOIs are contingent upon the Port of Port St. Joe receiving funding to complete maintenance dredging of the shipping channel. Eastern Shipbuilding Group of Panama City also has leased 20 acres at the port site to expand its shipbuilding, vessel construction and repair and industrial steel fabrication operations in the Gulf Coast region. “Economic growth takes a regional effort,” Everett said. “It’s not just about one county or another — it will take all of us working together, and Port St. Joe is poised to be a big economic player in the region.”
History of the Port of Port St. Joe Facility has long been important to area’s economy From Staff Reports The St. Joe Star
Port St. Joe is on the site of a deep water natural harbor that has served twice as a thriving port over the last 180 years. The first port development was during the 1830s and early 1840s. The town of St. Joseph was formed by a group of wealthy promoters so it could compete with Apalachicola for the export of large cotton crops and other locally produced commodities such as naval stores and lumber from Georgia and Alabama. Florida’s first railroad was built from Lake Wimico to St. Joseph Bay. Much of the cargo that would normally be shipped to the Port of Apalachicola was now detoured into the lake, where it was offloaded and transported by rail to ships docked at St. Joseph. During this boom period between 1832 and 1842, the sea shore along St. Joseph was defined by long wharves extending almost 4,000 feet into the sea. The port also had a shipyard with many large warehouses scattered about. During the height of the first port’s existence, it easily competed with well-established ports such as Charleston, S.C., and New Orleans. Most of the exports from the Port at St. Joseph were shipped to New England or to overseas ports in Europe. The port was the growth engine for Old St. Joseph, and a growth engine it was. In a few short years after establishing the port, the town of St. Joseph soared to a population of almost 12,000 people and became the largest city in this new territory. The city was so charming and well known that in 1839, it hosted an assembly of statesmen for the purpose of establishing a state constitution.
The fate of St. Joseph and its port, however, had only a short existence. In the summer of 1841, a ship sailed from Cuba into the Port of Port St. Joseph. Along with its cargo, it carried a passenger infected with a disease transmitted primarily from the bite of the mosquito. It was the dreaded disease, yellow fever, and it quickly spread throughout the town. Within a short month, the town was all but deserted. Those the yellow fever did not kill escaped to faraway places, never to return to this former city of death. The town of St. Joseph never recovered from the loss it sustained during this epidemic of yellow fever. The long docks and the waterfront buildings that dotted the shoreline began to deteriorate from lack of maintenance and upkeep. It wasn’t long before they were completely destroyed. As told by historian Dale Cox, “In September 1844, a hurricane struck St. Joseph, destroying much of what remained of the community and driving away some of the last inhabitants.” Except for occasional small supply ships in and out of the port, this natural deep water harbor remained idle and undeveloped until around 1910, when the railroad was again activated. Piers jutting about 1,800 feet into the bay were constructed with railroad tracks so ships could load and unload directly to the railroad cars parked alongside. This design of the piers with tracks laid along the top was an efficient way to handle the incoming and outgoing cargo from the old sailing vessels as well as the new steam vessels that were increasingly taking their place. The port again had considerable shipping activity which lasted until, as former postmaster Henry Drake noted, “The Wall Street crash of 1929 caused a sudden and sharp decline in foreign and domestic shipping.”
This decline caused financial hardship for the Apalachicola Northern Railroad, and as a result, it was sold in 1933 to the Alfred I. DuPont Company. DuPont purchased the railroad line, which now extended from Chattahoochee to Port St. Joe, with the intent of using its infrastructure to build a modern paper mill that would utilize the resources from over 200,000 acres of timber land that was purchased along with the existing rail line. DuPont died in 1935, but as a fulfillment of his vision, the St. Joe Paper Company was founded in 1936 as part of the Alfred I. du Pont Testamentary Trust. The construction of the paper mill began in 1936 and was completed in 1938. Also completed in February 1938 were the new St. Joe Paper Company docks. According to Henry Drake, they “were made of the latest type of sheet piling driven into the bay bottom,” and “the docks and wharves were capable of loading and unloading, simultaneously, five of the largest ocean-going boats in the Gulf of Mexico trade and still have room for a similar handling of two or more smaller and lighter draft vessels.” In 1941, on a site just south of the paper mill, which is currently “jetty park,” the oil docks portion of the port was built along with a large tank farm that extended from the docks to where Centennial Bank is now located. Petroleum products were shipped in from the oil fields of Louisiana and Texas in large tankers and barges. The petroleum was then pumped to Chattanooga, Tenn., and intermediate points via an 8-inch pipeline that was constructed during the same time the oil docks were being built. By 1963, the petroleum distribution center had
reached its life cycle and was shut down. In the early ’70s, Hess oil purchased the facility and operated it until the mid to late ’80s, when it was shut down permanently. From 1938 to the early 1970s, the Port of Port St. Joe enjoyed a brisk national and international trade. In the 1950s, at the height of the port activity, there were ships coming out of and going in to the port on a weekly basis. Beginning in the early 1970s, however, shipping from the port began a steady decline, and by the mid-1980s most shipping activity had ended. By 1996, the natural deep water harbor and the extended channel that led to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico experienced its last visit from a cargo ship. Currently the port bulkhead and surrounding land sits idle awaiting a new birth. The former major users of the port, the St. Joe Paper Mill and Box Plant and the Arizona Chemical Company have been razed so the land can be reclaimed for further use. Also left behind is the essential infrastructure used to support their operations. Water, sewer, electricity and gas are in abundant supply. The AN short-line railroad that connected the Port to the main rail lines of the U.S. will soon be repaired and back in service. A $750,000 state grant for an environmental and engineering study of the shipping channel, a requirement before any dredging can take place, was recently awarded to the Port St. Joe Port Authority with the St. Joe Company providing the required match of $250,000. As a result of a recent formation of a strategic development partnership with the St. Joe Company, the Port of Port St. Joe and the surrounding land and infrastructure are now positioned to once again become a thriving port.

Cottondale overcomes Sneads 30-20
Flying The Who dominates Ebro Derby
By CECILIA SPEARS
EBRO — Flying The Who gave the AJN Kennel its second Ebro Derby title when she outdistanced a strong field on Saturday night as the live racing season came to a close at Ebro Greyhound Park. In a year when the 3/8-mile class at Ebro was very even, Flying The Who emerged in the last two months as the dominant dog at that distance. Flying The Who also dominated the betting going off as a 3-5 favorite. After a brief struggle for the lead with Kelsos Que Sera she drew clear over the latter half of the race to win easily in 36.79 seconds. Flying The Who was the only multiple heat winner during the four-round series, winning three eliminations and finishing third in the other. That emphasized just how even 3/8-mile races were this season. At one point there seemingly was a different winner each time a 3/8th Grade A race was held. Flying The Who changed that when AJN switched her to the longer distance. The Derby was Flying The Who’s fifth win in her last six starts and 11th of the season. Trained by Terri Suggs, Flying The Who was one of three finalists for owner Vince Berland out of Cypress Creek Kennel. Kelsos Que Sera came in second, and Superior Effect was third. AJN finished closing night with a flurry as the Derby title was its eighth win in the opening 12 races. It was unable to catch season kennel champion Ray Thurber, however, which posted five more triumphs for the meet. AJN last won the Derby in 2009 with AJN Vanity Fair.

Prep ROUNDUP Chipley falls to Walton in OT DeFUNIAK SPRINGS — Walton made a 2-point conversion; Chipley didn’t. That was the difference in overtime for the Braves. That and quarterback Amos Williams, who seemed to be everywhere for Walton. He completed 15 of 23 passes for 203 yards and ran 20 times for 266 yards and five touchdowns, including a 99yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter that tied the score 25-25. In overtime, Williams had a 1-yard touchdown run, and DaQuan Brown ran in a 2-point conversion for a 33-25 lead. Chipley responded with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Finch to Zach Campbell, but the Tigers failed to convert the conversion, and the game was over. Walton (3-1) is at Holmes County on Friday. Chipley (2-1) hosts Port St. Joe.
Blountstown remains undefeated SANTA ROSA — Shon Peterson rushed for 147 yards and two touchdowns on only three carries as No. 2-ranked Blountstown bulldozed South Walton 48-14 Friday night in the District 3-1A opener for both schools. Blountstown (4-0, 1-0) rushed for 408 yards and held a 572-210 territorial edge in total yards. Big plays helped the Tigers open a 35-7 bulge by halftime. South Walton tried to respond with quarterback Jonathan Ortner tossing a pair of touchdown passes to Sage Roberts, but was no match for district newcomer Blountstown. Peterson opened the scoring with a 75-yard run. Quarterback Hunter Jordan added a pair of scoring passes, 59 yards to Tripp Taylor and 11 yards to Corin Peterson and it was 21-0 after one quarter.

Rutherford 37, Arnold 7 PANAMA CITY BEACH — Dallas Davis led Rutherford to three touchdowns in the second quarter Friday night to erase an early deficit, and the Rams collected their first victory of the season with a 37-7 win over Arnold at the Mike Gavlak Sports Complex. The victory ended the Rams’ three-game losing streak. Rutherford now is 10 in District 1-5A, a sterling record in light of its overall mark. Arnold suffered its first loss in four games and also was competing in its district opener. Davis finished with 227 yards on 17-for-28 pass-
ing, and he added another 109 yards on 13 carries. He rushed for three touchdowns and threw for another. Arnold seized an early lead moments after Marlin defensive back Tristan Dickenson intercepted a deflected pass at the Arnold 48. Torri Cotton broke loose for a long carry to set up quarterback Adam McAfee’s 5-yard sprint through the middle of the Rams’ defense for a 7-0 lead with 4 minutes, 44 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Davis scored on a play almost identical to McAfee’s touchdown run, cutting through the Arnold defense on a quarterback keeper out of the shotgun on a 5-yard sprint. That knotted the score at 7-7 with 10½ minutes to play in the first half. Davis gave the Rams their first lead with another run up the middle, muscling his way to the goal line on a 12-yard touchdown run for a 14-7 advantage with 4:37 remaining before halftime. Rutherford forced a turnover on downs at its 36-yard line on Arnold’s next drive, and Davis steered the Rams down the field on a sevenplay, 64-yard drive that culminated in a 17-yard touchdown strike to receiver Tre Holmes. The Rams needed just 1:21 to move down the field and score, and they carried a 21-7 lead into the locker room. Davis cemented his team’s victory with an 11yard touchdown romp on the first drive of the second half. His score capped an eight-play, 57-yard drive and handed the Rams a 287 lead.

COTTONDALE — Rain did not stop fans from taking the stands nor players from taking the field as the Cottondale High School Hornets overcame the Sneads High School Pirates with a score of 30-20 in high school football Friday night. Cottondale scored first when JaVontai Hall scored a 15-yard touchdown with 2:02 left in the first quarter, followed by a successful two-point conversion from Shaundre McAroy, making the score 8-0. Sneads quickly retaliated with a successful fiveyard touchdown from Antwan Durn, but the kick from Brian Moran, was no good so the score stood at 8-6. Hall made a 34-yard touchdown with 7:51 left in the first half, but the attempt at a two-point conversion was unsuccessful, leaving the score at 14-6. Hall scored another touchdown with five yards and 14.8 left in the first half, and with a successful two-point conversion from DeMichael Faulk, the score at the end of the first half was 22-6. Sneads picked up the pace after halftime as Bacaruis Boykin scored a 10-yard touchdown with 9:05 left in the third quarter. After an unsuccessful attempt at a two-point conversion, the score was 22-12. Cottondale’s McAroy made a 12-yard touchdown with 1:31 left in the third quarter, and a twopoint conversion from Durn made the score 30-12. Sneads had the final say when Hunter Barns made a two-yard touchdown with 1:28 left in the game, and with a successful two-point conversion from Durn, the final score of the evening was 30-20.

Blue Devils split wins on rainy Saturday Special to The Times-Advertiser
Photos Special to the Times-Advertiser
The Bonifay Blue Devil peewee football squads had mixed results on a rain-soaked Saturday.
BONIFAY — The Bonifay Blue Devil organization didn’t fare as well as the previous weekend, only winning two of the four games played. The 5-7 team posted a loss against Panama City/Glenwood with a score of 46-36. The 8-10 Blue Devil teams got both of the victories. Team Blue took home a nice victory against Glenwood 28-0. Team Blues’ defense stepped up and totally shut the Panama City team down. Team Gold played in Alford and also got a shutout beating PDL 24-0. Jayden Oxendine scored two touchdowns against the Pirates along with a pair of 2 point conversions. Zane Meadows got himself a TD with William Doyle running in the
conversion. The 11-13 Blue Devils were not able to repeat last week’s victory, losing to the larger Glenwood team 46-6. Watching the 11-13 game was reminiscent of David and Goliath, except this time the little guy didn’t win. It’s not clear if rain was a factor with the two losses on
this Saturday, but one thing is for sure — those two teams will be putting in a hard week of practice to ready themselves for their next weekend showdown against Alford. All of the Blue devil teams will be playing in Alford this coming weekend with the Team Gold kicking it off at 9 a.m. against Panama City/Glenwood.

It means to much to be able to serve, just as Jesus did.” Lanham announced that there are two classes coming up, one called “Women and Money” and “How to Build Your Own Rain Barrel.” Women and Money is a threepart series to be held from 5:307:30 p.m. on Oct. 1, 8 and 15 at the Holmes County Agricultural Center and will cover Money Basics, Protecting Assets, Investing Basics and Estate Planning.

The importance of a PETicure You and your beloved pet may share a lot in common: enjoying long walks in the park, snuggling up on the couch, or even taking a relaxing dip in the pool. But when it comes to an afternoon of pampering at the nail salon, our pets don’t typically share our idea of relaxation. Nevertheless, even if they find it unpleasant and stressful, clipping your pets’ nails is a crucial grooming technique for their overall health and well-being. Leaving your pet’s nails untrimmed can lead to pain and discomfort from many different sources. “Nails that are too long can get hung on fabric, blankets, towels, etc., and get torn off which is not only painful, but tends to cause a great deal of bleeding,” said Dr. Stacy Eckman, lecturer at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM). “Nails that are too long

Since we do not Pet Talk feline friends need some typically bathe our cats, nail pampering on a a thorough trim every 2 regular basis as well. “Outdoor to 4 weeks is plenty. cats who climb trees keep As for the clipper itself, there their own nails short, but with are several brands, types and the majority of our cats living sizes to choose from, including indoors, they too need nail scissors, pliers, guillotine, and trims,” Eckman said. “They will nail grinders. “Some work better naturally sharpen their claws if on cats (i.e. guillotine) than given adequate substrate to do others, and some are better this on (i.e. a scratching post or for larger dogs with thicker wood), but may need additional nails,” said Eckman. “Others trimming, especially on the claim to ‘find the quick’ so you back claws.” Keep in mind that don’t cause the nail to bleed, it is natural for cats to also use but I don’t think these work scratching posts to mark their very well.” It is best to research scent, and even cats that are which will work best for your declawed will “use” a scratching pet, as well as test them out to post for this purpose. see which style your cat or dog
seems most comfortable with. Letting your pet become acclimated to nail clipping at an early age can also help the process go more smoothly. Once they become comfortable with you holding their paws as kittens or puppies, gradually start clipping one or two nails a day, and follow up with lots of positive rewards for their cooperation. Giving them their favorite treats or even a long tummy scratch should do the trick. When trimming the nail, be sure to avoid the quick, or nerves and blood vessels located near the bottom of the nail. Just trimming the excess length will ensure a painless clipping process for all involved. But even with the most painless technique and gradual of introductions, there are pets that seem unable to get over their terror of nail clipping. If your cat or dog falls under this category, it may be
helpful to seek help from an assistant to hold down and calm them while you do the deed. If that backfires and your pet is still too stressed, then talk to your veterinarian about strategies to help make nail trims less stressful, Eckman said. Just like people, each pet is unique, with various personalities and patience levels. It is important to remember that even though they may not find their PETicure enjoyable at the time, they will undoubtedly thank you in the long run.

Stop by for your fishing & hunting needs!
summer is over and the lawn does not need to be mowed anymore, I can, according to her logic, transpose that energy into cleaning up things. Then she will confront me with a favorite saying of hers, “Cleanliness is next to godliness.” One of these days, when I get up the courage, I am going to ask her to show me where that verse is in the Bible. I kind of think a person can be too clean, like squeaky clean. You know how squeaky gets on people’s nerves, especially mine. My favorite saying is, “Laziness is next to everything.” Perhaps that is why I like summer so much. There are shades of laziness that can only be exploited in the good old summertime. Some people, like the one who shares a residence with me, things that laziness is a very negative thing. This person honestly believes that if she is not doing something all the time she is lazy. Something good can be said about being lazy. You get to savor a moment of non-activity. The thing I like so much about summer is the activity you do do is only the activity that you want to do like sitting on the back porch, drinking a glass of lemonade, which is what summer is all about. Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, understood this concept very well. He says, “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven,” (Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV). Time goes by so quickly that a person hardly has enough time to really appreciate the time that they have. Rev. James L.
