BONIFAY CITY COUNCIL
Kiwanis requests contract change By CECILIA SPEARS
547-9414 | @WCN_HCT cspears@chipleypaper.com BONIFAY — Assistant State Attorney Brandon Young came before the Bonifay City Council on behalf of the Bonifay Kiwanis Club to renegotiate a 50-year contract between the city and the club for the use of Memorial Field during the council meeting on Monday.
“There is a 50-year agreement between the Bonifay Kiwanis Club and the City of Bonifay for the use of Memorial Field that was renewed in 1995,” Young said. “Before the Kiwanis Club would receive numerous bills to pay various people for jobs, and this contract was arranged between the club and the city so that the club would pay one lump sum to the city to cover all the expenses as-
sociated with using Memorial Field for two events.” The contract agreed on a payment of $5,000 per year, which covered the yearly rodeo and all-night gospel sing, with a cost of living reassessment, he said. “Over the past few years, they’ve been receiving a few bills in addition to the $5,000,” Young said. “Since the club has
done away with the allnight gospel sing; there’s only one event. Also, at the time, garbage was a large expense to the city, which was around $2,000. However, for the last few years, the club has a contract dealing directly with Waste Management, so that is no longer an expense of the city.” Young proposed the 50year contract be reduced

to a five-year contract and the lump amount be held at $6,000. “I can admit, in 18 years $5,000 may not seem to be the appropriate amount any more, and I don’t feel that handing you $5,000 and saying we’re done because of a 50-year contract is going to leave us in very good standings with one another,”

BONIFAY — Holmes County Board of County Commissioners discussed preparations for the arrival of Federal Emergency Management Agency representatives with the Director of Emergency Operations Center Wanda Stafford during a special session on Thursday. “We met with the FEMA director yesterday at the EOC,” Stafford said. “The kick-off meeting will be held in a couple of weeks, and FEMA representatives will want to meet with us to go with the Holmes County road foremen to assess damages. Our project worksheets will be written at that time, and we’ll work out all the small and large projects.” Stafford said 75 percent of the funding will be paid at the beginning for the small projects. However, for the large projects, they will ask for a 12 percent match from the county. “We’re going to ask for a waiver,” Stafford said. “In 2009 we asked for a waiver, and we had half of the match waived.” She said the EOC would also ask for vector control, which is a countywide mosquito spraying. “I’m requesting a county engineer to make sure that all FEMA funds are captured,” Stafford said. “These representatives may come in as soon as next week, and they’ll want to be ready to get started.” Stafford also requested two temporary positions be opened specifically for documentation upkeep and organization. “This is a critical point,” she said. “Documentation determines if we get funding or not, and if one little detail is out of order, we risk not

Esto approves first reading of mobile home ordinance By CECILIA SPEARS
547-9414 | @WCN_HCT cspears@chipleypaper.com ESTO — Esto Town Council held the first reading of its new proposed mobile home ordinance during their Aug. 6 meeting. “All mobile homes must meet the following requirements for Esto prior to being placed on real property in the town,” Council member Teresa Harrison read. “All mobile homes must be structurally sound, clean, sanitary, well-maintained and approved by council.
Council may give a 90-day extension, if needed. “All mobile homes must meet all U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards and the Florida Manufactured Building Act. All mobile homes must meet all requirements on Application for Town of Esto. “If any mobile home is moved onto the property without council approval, a $250 fine will be assessed and a lien will be placed on the property. An additional
$10 per day will be charged until it is moved off the property.” Council member Darlene Madden asked about the purpose of the 90-day extension. “Sometimes a good mobile home will be moved in, but it still isn’t inhabitable,” Town Council President Danny Powell said. “The 90 days gives anyone a reasonable amount of time to complete necessary finishing touches, like putting on the skirting, hooking up the water, etc. After that, the fines will start, and I will add that
the 90-day extension is still based on council approval.” John Little came before the council to ask that they sign an ordinance against granting illegal immigrants amnesty and benefits. The council approved of the resolution of support. “I realize we have illegals, and they’ve been here for a long time,” Powell said. “I just don’t think that it’s fair to those of us who are paying our dues and that can’t get ahead because they’re taking the burden of these illegals.” The council approved of
paying a local man $2,115 to repair and refurbish the kitchen and inside of the Esto Community Center. Madden said there will be a yard sale on Sept. 14 to raise money for next year’s Two-Toe Tom Festival. She said they are accepting donations to sell at the yard sale to help raise funds. She said anything will be accepted as a donation, from clothes to furniture, and if anyone was interested in making a donation or would like more information to contact her at 263-3201.

fema from page A1 getting funded at all.” Commissioner David Whitaker said he had spoke with the Director of Chipola Work Force and said there is additional manpower and funding to help with just that. Stafford agreed to look into the Chipola Work Force and the Board approved of giving Stafford the authority to head the FEMA project. The board approved of the resolution stating the Holmes County Board of County Commissioners was in support of Walton County’s RESTORE Act, which was presented to the Board at the last meeting. “They were wanting us to join forces with them before, but we didn’t have the chance to review it fully,” Chairman Monty Merchant said. During the last Board of County Commissioners’ meeting, Larry Jones and Billy McKee with Walton County presented a resolution to the Board stating the Board was in support of Walton’s upcoming RE-
bonifay from page A1
STORE Act Project. “We’re working on two projects pertaining to the RESTORE Act,” Jones said. “The first is an inventory of all unpaved roads that would affect the Choctawhatchee River water shed with sediment. So far we’ve got over 800 listed in Holmes, Washington and Walton counties.” Jones said the second project was a study on bank erosion. “These studies are just the first step in getting grants to pave these roads, so that sedimentation off of these roads can be greatly reduced,” he said. “We’re moving on with the studies, and this resolution is just saying that Holmes County supports our project.” County Attorney Jeff Goodman advised the board that this was an ideal opportunity. “These restoration claims go all the way up to Washington,” Goodman said. “We’re talking billions, not millions, of dollars in funding.”
County Engineer Cliff Knauer added the studies would help them in future grant pursuits as well. Goodman requested the new Garbage Franchise Agreement be tabled until the next meeting. “The one that was given to you is the first draft, not the final draft,” Goodman said. “There’s only very few changes between the first and last, but I just want to make sure you’re signing the right agreement.” Goodman gave an update on the Holmes County Fair Board. “I had a conversation with Clint Erickson, and he has informed me that the Fair Board has agreed to dissolve and has sought counsel with Attorney Lucas Taylor,” Goodman said. “I must admit that at first I was very uneasy to hear they’ve taken counsel with another attorney, but when I heard it was Lucas, I could rest assured knowing they’re in very capable hands. They’ve got a lot to do to dissolve the Fair Board in the proper fashion, but Taylor will be more than able to help them in this transition.” Greg Barton, Director of Emergency Management Services, gave a report on the success of the EMS Collections, saying they were over their projected amount and more successful than surrounding agencies. “We’ve had 1,665 accounts come in,” Barton
said. “Everyone goes to collections now, regardless of being late on payments, as to the approval of the council.” Barton said he was having an issue with the New Hope Fire Station. “We rent it out for the community to hold their family reunions, community functions and fundraisers. However, we’ve got one who wants to come in to train drug and attack dogs,” Barton said. “The main problem is that we don’t have a lease agreement, and this is the first time we’ve encountered something like this.” The board agreed Barton should politely reject the person’s request because of liability and the upcoming hurricane season, which the fire station is also used as an emergency shelter. The board also agreed Goodman should write up a lease agreement. “If you’re going to rent the building out then you must have a lease agreement, otherwise you run into the problem Washington County had with their Agricultural Center, when people were coming in and holding raves there,” Goodman said. “There was extensive damage and drugs left there from these people who preyed on those with weak lease agreements.” Commissioner Bill Parish wanted to stress the State of Emergency has been lifted, and county policies are back in place.
Young said. “We need to be able to renegotiate the contract every five years so that it’s still fresh with those who can remember when the contract renegotiated last. We appreciate all that the city has done, but there’s something that needs to be done about this contract.” Council member Richard Woodham suggested a workshop be held to negotiate the terms of the new contract. The council approved of City Engineer Amir Zafar’s request for a change order that would speed up the progress being made on several streets in Bonifay, which includes Varner and Virginia Avenue. The council also approved of allowing Stantec Engineering Firm to clean up Middlebrooks Park on Sept. 10. The council approved of grant writer Bob Jones putting in an application for a $50,000 grant to fix the water park at Middlebrooks Park. “We’ve got to do something additional to the playground and picnic area to do what we need to do for additional points,” Jones said. “We also need a new recreational committee. The old one has been inactive for so long that it’s considered non-existent.” Mayor Lawrence Cloud agreed to come up with at least two additional members in the next few days
and appointed council member Micah McCormick chairman. City Clerk Jeri Gibson read the First Reading of the city’s Capital Assets Policy, which she indicated was deemed necessary by the city’s auditor. “All purchase of real and personal property with an original cost of $1,000 and an expected life of one year or more shall be designated by the City as a capital asset,” read Gibson. “All purchases of capital assets shall be subject to the purchasing, cash disbursement and procurement procedures currently adopted by the Council at the time of purchase.” Cloud informed the council he and Public Works Supervisor Jack Marell spent hours with a representative from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to assess 37 different projects throughout the city because of the damage caused by the recent rains. Marell said those individuals wanting to check to see if FEMA would help reimburse or pay for damage caused by the recent excessive rains during the State of Emergency can contact Wanda Stafford at the Emergency Operations Center at 547-5114. The next scheduled meeting of the Bonifay City Council is set for 6 p.m. on Aug. 26.

School District preps for new school year By CECILIA SPEARS
547-9414 | @WCN_HCT cspears@chipleypaper.com BONIFAY — Holmes County District School Board reviewed and approved administrative programs for the 2013-14 school year during the Board’s Aug. 6 meeting. At the top of their agenda, the board approved its contract with the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office to provide local law enforcement for school board meetings and school-related functions. “It’s very economical,” Chairman Rusty Williams said. “We get more than what we pay for.” The board also approved the Code of Student Conduct.
“The only thing that has changed is that we’ve done away with requiring students to make up days that are missed, and we’ve added verbiage against bullying,” District Administrator Jean West said. “Though the change in requiring students to make up missed days is more like reverting back to the old code, before they were required to make up days on Saturday mornings beginning at 6 a.m.” The board approved of a personnel handbook. “This is the first time we’ve had a district handbook,” Superintendent Eddie Dixon said. “It’s a personnel handbook that goes to every employee within the district, which included custodians, bus drivers, etc.
It is a collaboration of board policies and state statutes that not only gives our personnel answers to their questions but the reasons behind them.” The board approved of an Interagency Agreement with Chipola College for the Take Stock in Children Program. “This program has been around for years, raising money for scholarships, and then about three years ago it just kind of stalled out,” Dixon said. “Chipola College has volunteered to administrate this program for us at no cost. This program is for at-risk children who won’t receive academic scholarships and just fall between the cracks.” School board member
Debbie Kolmetz said she was happy that the Take Stock in Children scholarship was returning to Holmes County schools. The board also approved of Project Application for 21st Century Community Learning Center to help fund the local WINGS program. “This is a wonderful program that has been very beneficial to our community,” Williams said. Other items the board approved included Service Agreement for Applied Behavior Analysis through Florida State University’s Early Childhood Autism Program; Performance Contract with Spectrum Counseling first year extension; Performance Contract for Occupational Therapy Services second year ex-
tension; July 29 meeting minutes; and Project Application for IDEA Part B, Entitlement and IDEA, Part B and Preschool. “We’re getting ready for a new school year,” Dixon said. “We’ve visited all the facilities, and we’ve got the air conditioning for Ponce de Leon High School almost ready. Thursday, teachers will be returning to all the schools in Holmes County, and then the students will be back on Monday.” Board Member Shirley Owens wanted to remind everyone several of their bus drivers had went out to pick up the district’s 11 new school buses. The next meeting of the Holmes County District School Board is set for 6 p.m. on Aug. 20.
buses
from page A1 to each school,” Dixon said. “I would like to look into getting additional buses fairly soon. We still have buses that are 13 to 18 years old, and that’s just not going to hack it.” He explained the proposed funding was established into the millage increase to help purchase the buses. “These new buses get over 11 miles to the gallon, which is almost double the amount of the old ones, which only get six miles to the gallon,” Dixon said. “The money we’re saving in gas is going to take care of most of the interest rate in and of itself. This is a great investment for the safety of our students as well as economically for the school district.”

Guest COLUMN
Elderly author grew up with her own type of drug problem By Wendy Victoria
Northwest Florida Daily News As assignment editor, I get frequent requests from authors to write about books they published themselves. Being a bit of a book snob, I almost always say no. Last week, though, I said yes after getting a book from a local woman in her 80s who wrote about growing up on a farm in Holmes County. Ironically, she doesn’t want her name used and doesn’t want the publicity, which begs the question of why she brought me the book. I can’t answer that, but I can tell you I wouldn’t have survived her upbringing and neither would my children. The fifth of 10 children, the author says she was raised in a house with no screens, running water or outhouse. The only furniture they had was two beds, a table, chairs and a rocking chair with one leg shorter than the other. When one of the kids
misbehaved, her mother whipped all of them with a branch from a peach tree in the yard. That tree was missing so many “switches” it never produced more than a few tiny, ugly peaches. Between the ages of about 5 and 10, the author was entrusted with the care of her five younger brothers while her mother worked in the fields. She writes about holding a pillow over her baby brothers’ faces so she could try to get them to nap. Only a child herself, she didn’t realize that could have killed them. Any shoes they wore didn’t fit and they didn’t complain. They ate what they could grow or what was given to them in trade. Their mother convinced them that eating chicken feet would make them better looking. Later, the author figured out her mother likely just wanted to save the better parts of the chicken for the pastor when he visited. When she left home at 17, she’d never seen her reflection in a
mirror, taking her mother’s word that she was pretty. She’d never been anywhere other than her home, church or school. She was afraid. Still, she turned out OK, as did every one of her siblings, she writes. And that’s more than we can say for a lot of kids raised in more permissive times. “One of my friends asked me if we had drug problems when I was growing up,” she wrote. “I replied, ‘I had a drug problem when I was growing up. “I was drug to church two times on Sunday. I was drug to the cotton fields every day. I was drug behind the house when I disobeyed my parents … “And all of those drugs are still in my veins. They affect my behavior and everything I do, say or think. God bless the parents who drug us.” Daily News Assignment Editor Wendy Victoria can be reached at 358-4478 or wvictoria@ nwfdailynews.com.

GM of Pier Park speaks at Bonifay Kiwanis By CECILIA SPEARS
547-9414 | @WCN_HCT cspears@chipleypaper.com BONIFAY —Brent Gardener, general manager of Pier Park in Panama City Beach, talked about how Bonifay helped shape Pier Park and what changes were happening soon at the Bonifay Kiwanis Club meeting on Aug. 7. “I work for Simon, the world’s largest real estate company,” said Gardener. “They’ve got 336 properties with 312 in the United States and located in 38 states. We profit $168 billion in retail a year.” He explained that if there’s any mall or outlet with the name “Mills” or “Premium” in the title, Simon owns it. “Pier Park is our crowning achievement and we want to focus on events,” said Gardner. “We want to draw people in and have the best time they could possibly have that way they’ll keep coming back. My job is to do all that I can do to serve the community because we are more than a mall, we are a community center; a safe place for friends and families to hang out, be around and enjoy the atmosphere.” Gardener said that Bonifay played a part in developing Pier Park. “We actually surveyed people incognito in Bonifay, as well as the surrounding areas, and casually asked if there was a mall to be built, what would they like to see in it,” he said. “It’s very easy for us to get the stigma as being a big, bad corpora-
tion who doesn’t care about the little people when in fact we all started from something only manned by a few people and grew, and we love to help those starters.” Gardner said they have over 100 event days per year, such as the Beach Ball Drop in January, Taste of the Beach, Fall Festival, Thunder Beach and the newest coming up Pirate Invasion. “There is literally going to be an invasion of pirates on Pier Park coming in from the ocean,” he said. “Some Johnny Depp looking characters are going to kidnap the mayor and there’s going to be a battle against ships just off shore for everyone to watch. It’s going to be so much fun.” He then went into dispelling some of the latest rumors. “Pier Park North is not ours,” said Gardener. “St. Joe actually owns the name and has enlisted another developer for that section. Pier Park West will be developed by us.” The rumor of Miracle Strip moving from the small section at Pier Park to their new land to rebuild the full park is true, said Gardener. “We expect that they’ll have all of the rides moved out by the end of the year,” he said. “I can confirm that we will soon have a Dave and Busters in the area that currently has the bungee rides.” He said that there was going to be more and more coming into the Pier Park area but that they were going to take

Hooked on Outdoors There’s one thing I cannot understand about the marketing of our area. You would think we only had the beaches to attract people. I think the people in the marketing business should be made to understand we also have some of the best redfish fishing in Florida. Most of the time when you turn on outdoors shows you see the Banana River or the Cape Canaveral area and the redfish fishing in those places. Do you know Outdoor how much time and Life Scott Lindsey gas mileage captainlindsey@ you can save knology.net by stopping in Panama City? Nowhere in those areas will you find redfish crashing crabs on the surface in 50 feet of water during a hard outgoing tide. If you love to fly fish, the pass here is the place to test out that 10-weight fly rod. When the pass crabs get sucked out into the Gulf and mixed with the bay grass, and those big honkers are busting the surface looking like big blocks of concrete being thrown into the water you know you are in fly rod heaven. Not only can you catch them on a fly rod, but live bait fishermen consistently catch bull reds on lightweight spinning reels. After battling two or three 15to 30-pound reds a fellow soon earns some respect for fish that size. We also have some of the finest guides you could find in the state. All this adds up to some pretty good fishing. Some wives are reluctant to get on a boat that stays out 6-8 hours, so the hubby goes fishing and the wife stays at the hotel and misses out on some fine fun. That can be fixed by fishing with a guide on a custommade trip of your design. Most guides are willing to take you fishing, but some I know will take your family over to Shell Island for a day in the sun or for a picnic if you provide the food. No one is getting seasick or ready to come home on this trip because it is designed by you. So tell me why anyone would want to travel another mile south when we have it all right here in the Panama City area?

BLACK WATER FISHING Handling the murk of Florida’s torrential summer downpours By FRANK SARGEANT
franksargeant@charter.net When saltwater turns fresh and clear water turns coffee black, it requires a bit of a mental adjustment to achieve continued angling success for the favorite inshore species such as spotted seatrout, redfish and flounder. It also is likely to require an adjustment in geography; your favorite marsh holes and creeks might have few or no fish, and you might have to head to outside waters to connect. Not to say that coastal fish can’t thrive in brackish water — in winter, not only trout and reds but also mangrove snapper, black drum and sheepshead often prowl into areas that are almost completely fresh. But that’s forced upon them as a refuge from cold water on the flats; all things being equal, they like a relatively high salinity, along with a lot of baitfish and shrimp along with moderate temperatures. So where do the fish go when they depart from our favorite dock holes, creek mouths and bridge pilings? A lot of them head out on the beach, settling on any structure they can find within easy swim of bait schools. That’s why it’s not uncommon to connect with schools of trout, often big ones, around nearshore artificial reefs and wrecks. And of course reds, when they mature, actually are open-water fish, only returning to the passes and bays in late summer and fall to spawn.
Tarpon are not much bothered by an influx of “black” water, and can be caught on an assortment of cut baits, live baits or artificials. So they are highly tolerant of the higher salinities of the open Gulf. Tarpon are one species that are not particularly unhappy in black, lowsalinity water. They start their lives in places like this, often far back in the marshes, moving to deeper water only as they mature. And after they finish the mid-summer spawn, many of them return to the black waters of inside bays where they will remain until the first chill of October. The key to finding black water tarpon — and other species for that matter — is finding bait tolerant of the water conditions. Shad don’t mind a bit of black water, and the tiny bay anchovies known as “glass minnows” don’t either — they swim well up coastal rivers. Find swarms of these baitfish and you’ll
usually find gamefish of some stripe. (You wouldn’t think a 100-pound-tarpon would have much interest in bait an inch long, but they plunge through the tightly-packed minnows like whales eating krill, gulping down huge mouthfuls of them.) Fishing black water areas can be a challenge, to be sure; the fish can’t see artificial lures more than a few feet away, and when they’re feeding on specialized bait such as the tiny glass minnows, they might ignore the usual lures. There are several strategies to get around the issue, however. One is simply to go to cut bait on the bottom; the scent lures the fish in, even if they can’t see the bait at any distance. This is particularly effective for late summer tarpon — find

sometimes can travel for miles. The shellfish are typically found in water from 4 to 10 feet deep over turtle grass, the longleaved greenery that sprouts abundantly from the bottom in the open areas. Because they are lethargic swimmers, scallops are easy for a snorkeler to capture by hand, and they are a favorite target for young swimmers; many families plan their annual summer vacation with the children for the opening of the scallop season. Once things get rolling, finding the scallops is simply a matter of looking for the fleet — where the shellfish are abundant, there will be dozens of boats drifting over them.

FHSAA seeks policy review on performance-enhancing drugs
COMBAT WEAPONS SEMINAR
Special to Halifax Media GAINESVILLE — In an aggressive move to protect teens from the ongoing threat of performance-enhancing drugs, the head of the Florida High School Athletic Association asked on Aug. 6 that the organization’s medical policy experts to conduct a top-to-bottom review of existing policies to determine what additional measures can be enacted to prevent the use of improper substances by high school student-athletes. Dr. Roger Dearing, FHSAA’s executive director, asked the association’s Sports Medicine Advisory Committee to conduct a thorough review of existing standards to determine how they can be strengthened to stop the trend of PED use among professional and college athletes from spreading throughout prep sports. Dearing noted that under existing FHSAA sportsmanship bylaws and policies, student-athletes can be suspended from competing if they have used PEDs, but Dearing suggested these prohibitions might be insufficient in light of recent allegations that South Florida high school athletes received PEDs as part of the Biogenesis scandal. “The FHSAA’s overriding priority is the safety, well-being and constructive development of young student-athletes, whose bodies and character are still forming,” Dearing said. “Performanceenhancing drugs undermine every aspect of this goal, and so it is imperative that our student-athletes adhere to a zerotolerance policy toward these inherently unfair and dangerous substances. Here is the bottom line for me: As executive director of FHSAA, I believe we must draw a line in the sand against performing-enhancing drugs. School districts simply cannot tolerate coaches who encourage or look the other way when athletes use PEDs. Therefore, these coaches cannot be allowed to keep their jobs or have any-

PANAMA CITY — Debbie Funkhouser is a coach at heart, but she’s an athletic director by title. Funkhouser is one of the most respected minds among local volleyball coaches, and she has been an important contributor to the growth of the sport in the area. Now that she’s the athletic director at North Bay Haven Charter Academy, however, she has reluctantly stepped away from the sport to focus on her duties overseeing all sports at the charter school. “For two out of three years, I coached the middle school team,” Funkhouser said. “It’s hard to find volleyball coaches who really are knowledgeable and don’t just want a supplement. I couldn’t find a coach — they play six or seven games and they’re done. I have to say it was hard because (other) teams or coaches need something. It didn’t work. I feel bad because we have a group of girls who are going to be really strong, but they’ll be great. It’s really a good group of kids.” The athletic program at NBH only now is matur-
ing beyond the pupal stage with its first-ever incoming class of 12th-graders. Funkhouser left her post as volleyball coach at Mosley to accept the job as athletic director at NBH in 2010, and she faced a monumental challenge of building the school’s athletics department from the ground up. Coaches had to be hired. Facilities had to be leased. A culture of athletics had to be nurtured and cultivated. It hasn’t been easy. “In the beginning, everyone made the team, and we created a culture you don’t really want in competitive high school athletics,” Funkhouser said. “On the other hand, it made the teams very close. … We want the kids to play for fun. We’ve lost that in high school athletics. High school athletics

mittee should consider all aspects of performanceenhancing drugs,” Dearing said, asking for a “thorough top-to-bottom review of existing policies and procedures regarding the use of performance-enhancing drugs by those who break the rules in order to tilt the playing field to their own advantage.” Dearing asked the committee to consider the full range of issues related to PEDs, including but not limited to: • whether existing policies and procedures provide sufficient authority for schools to test and discipline student-athletes who may be using banned substances; • the legal, policy and fiscal implications of heightened policies against per-
formance-enhancing drugs; and • whether the FHSAA prohibition against performance-enhancing drugs would be more effective if set out as a standalone policy rather than existing only as a part of a broader policy on sportsmanship. “Most young athletes have no idea the harm that can be caused by performance-enhancing drugs,” Maynard said. “Teenagers are still developing, both physically and mentally, and PEDs have no place in their lives. Whatever the FHSAA can do to stop PEDs from being used by high school student-athletes is a step in the right direction.” A list of members of the FHSAA Sports Medicine Advisory Committee is at www. fhsaa.org/gov/sportsmed.

a very real, very dangerous threat to high school student-athletes, both physically and psychologically,” Montford said. “I commend the FHSAA for being proactive in addressing the challenge presented by coaches, parents and young athletes who want to get ahead by any means possible, whatever the personal cost.” The 15-member Sports Medicine Advisory Committee includes a cross-section of experts from across Florida, including 11 physicians as well as athletic trainers, former coaches and educators. The committee’s work has led to recent FHSAA policies to better protect young student athletes in the areas of concussions and heat/hydration. “The Advisory Com-

they’d really do.” Funkhouser said it was important to find coaches who strived to win but would not be overly dismayed by the losses that were certain to accompany programs as they matured. A coach’s recognition of the importance of education was paramount. “I feel like our administration and parents and kids are looking for athletics to come up and be as good as our academics are,” Funkhouser said. “When I was able to interview coaches with (Principal Meredith Higgins), we definitely looked for someone where wins weren’t No. 1. Winning has to be important to a coach, but we wanted someone who could motivate athletes and see them as whole people. “Academics are important, and (coaches) have to expect that. If a kid needs tutoring during practice time, it’s their job as coach to talk to the player and the teacher and work that out. If it has to be during practice, they have to accept that. … Academics have to be first.” To emphasize that point, NBH requires its student-athletes to carry a 2.2 grade point average rather than the 2.0 GPA required at other county schools. “We look at academics all year long, not just when we have to look at them at the end of the semester,” Funkhouser said. “If their grades start to fall, we can do something about it. That’s a definite advantage of being a small school. … You can’t beat a smaller school. All eyes are on kids all the time, not in a negative way like we’re waiting for them to slip up, but in a very positive way. I know all the kids in the school and almost all of them by name. The kids know that, ‘Hey, I need to be where I’m supposed to be and need to be studying the way I’m supposed to.’ “‘High expectations, high achievement,’ is our school’s motto. Those expectations go across the board, from the classroom to the playing field, the gym, the clubs. We have high expectations for the kids, and they live up to them. We won’t water them down.” The culture of athletics at NBH undoubtedly will change now that teams
“‘High expectations, high achievement,’ is our school’s motto. Those expectations go across the board, from the classroom to the playing field, the gym, the clubs. We have high expectations for the kids, and they live up to them. We won’t water them down.” Debbie Funkhouser athletic director, North Bay Haven Charter Academy have seniors in all of their sports for the first time. The Buccaneers have struggled to compete against senior-laden opponents in all sports, but that is to be expected with athletes who are less experienced and not as physically developed as players on rival teams. Funkhouser, who is no less competitive now than she was when she was conveying instructions to her volleyball players from the sidelines at Mosley’s Jim Redfern Gymnasium a decade ago, is certain NBH athletics are headed in the proper direction. “I think we’ve been blessed with the coaches we’ve gotten,” she said. “When I took this position, my heart as a coach has always been for the kids. I want kids to love playing. I want them to work hard and win. I don’t want them to practice five days a week and not win. “We have young coaches. Jared Hale is a great football mind, and he has a personality that attracts kids, and they work hard for him. We have a new soccer coach in Jennifer Parrott, who played at Bay High and coaches Bay United. The kids are flocking to play, and our coaches make them feel like they care.”

The Lazy C Alpaca Ranch owners Holly and Jesse Cunningham enjoy inviting the youth of Holmes County to come and visit their alpacas free of charge. The ranch is home to 136 alpacas of more than 20 colors.
Alpaca farming is one local family’s
GOLDEN FLEECE By CECILIA SPEARS
547-9414 | @WCN_HCT cspears@chipleypaper.com BONIFAY — A year after moving to Holmes County and settling down on a little over 100 acres with 136 alpacas and a few dogs, Holly and Jesse Cunningham said they are living their dream with the Lazy C Alpaca Ranch. “We’ve been looking into owning alpacas for around five years because they’re easy to care for, have great tax incentives and are easy to maintain,” Holly said. “We sheer their wool once a year; it’s the finest fiber, and there’s a good market for it for hats, socks, blankets and so much more.” Jesse said the animals’ personalities make them enjoyable to be around, and they make great lawnmowers. “We also take then to shows where they are judged for their confirmation, fleece and color,” Holly said. “We’ve got several champions right now. Winning awards helps with breading and selling them just like with race horses.” She said the alpacas are gentle and shy but have an insatiable curiosity. “They are communal creatures with a strong herd instinct and tend to prefer staying close to family,” she said. “On the other hand, they are wonderful with humans, adults and children. They really make you want to give them a hug.
Alpaca farming is a really fun family business, plus it’s a short commute from the house to the pastures.” A large portion of the Cunninghams’ property is also dedicated to growing hay to help feed the alpacas. Holly said she had recently opened the ranch to be visited by children and their families and that her favorite part of Holmes County is the caring and supportive community. “When we had the big rainstorms going through this area, during the first of July, the alpacas were not fairing well,” Holly said. “The amount of rain and flooding conditions were stressing the alpacas bad. I had made a comment of Facebook that we were constructing an emergency shelter to get them to dry land and shelter.” She said she and her family were outside working quickly to move the alpacas to safety when she saw someone at their gate. “They had seen our post and wanted to help. How incredible,” Holly said. “For nearly five hours in the pouring rain, they helped us move the alpacas to safety. This community is awesome.” Lazy C Alpaca Ranch is off Highway 177 just outside of Bonifay. “Just call us, and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you have about alpacas and the alpaca lifestyle,” Holly said. “Or better yet, schedule a farm visit.”

Weigh the pros and cons of getting a pet for a child Whether they want it to bark, purr, slither or squawk, there comes a time when a pet appears on nearly every child’s birthday wish list. For most parents, this decision can be a bit daunting. Is your child ready to take on the responsibility of caring for a pet? Will the new animal negatively affect his or her health? Though your child may think your wary attitude is unnecessary, these are valid questions for every parent to ask themselves and their family before welcoming a new pet into their home. “The first thing that you need to think of is if your children are old enough and responsible enough to handle a pet around the house,” said Dr. Mark Stickney, Clinical
Associate Professor begs for that snake at at the Texas A&M the pet store? “With College of Veterinary animals like lizards and Medicine & Biomedical snakes, their care and Sciences. “You also feeding requirements need to be aware of the can be a bit tricky as far temperament of the new as humidity, temperature pet that you’re bringing etc.,” Stickney said.

Their high energy level and “One of the first things that you love for attention makes them need to do is consult with your the perfect child companion. But physician,” said Stickney. “If what about when little Bobby your child is allergic to pollen
or some sort of grass that an animal could track into the house, an indoor animal such as a cat would be a non-issue.” However, if your children still have their heart set on that fluffy puppy, there are certainly ways to accommodate their desires. “Some dog breeds, such as Poodles and Yorkies, are considered to be less allergenic than others based on the amount of fur that they shed,” Stickney said. “And there is even evidence to support that infants exposed to animals earlier in life are less likely to develop allergies later on.” Allowing your children to care for a pet is not all risk. Having a pet in your family has shown to be equally beneficial for both the animal and child.
“Dogs especially really enjoy having someone to play with them, teach them tricks, and do some basic obedience training,” said Stickney. “It’s mentally stimulating for both the dog and child, which can improve discipline on both ends.” Research has shown numerous health benefits of owning a pet, including lower blood pressure and elevated mood. There is even evidence to support that interaction between pets and children with disabilities, such as Down’s syndrome or Autism, is extremely beneficial. “The key is that you need to have a nice, docile pet,” Stickney said. “One that isn’t too active or rough, but that just wants to be loved on and to love right back.”

I tried to contain myself and carefully pace out my instructions. “Young lady,” I said as calmly as possible, “I will have a piece of shoofly pie. In fact, why don’t you bring me the whole pie.” And with that, I smiled. The waitress looked at me rather strangely and said, “What kind of pie do you want?” Being the kind of person that enjoys a good old-fashioned joke, I responded, “Ha ha ha. A shoofly pie, if you please.” “What’s a shoofly pie?” I can take a joke as well as anybody but there comes a time when all jokes need to be put aside and bring on the shoofly pie. “This is an Amish restaurant, isn’t it?” “Yes it is,” she smiled patiently. “You’ve heard of a shoofly pie, haven’t you?” “No, I’ve never heard of such a pie.” I cannot tell you the depth of disappointment this brought to me. For weeks, I have been looking forward to some good old-fashioned shoofly pie. As it turned out, only the Amish/ Mennonite in Lancaster County Pennsylvania, know anything about shoofly pies. Not all Amish are the same even though they look alike. The apostle Paul understood this kind of disappointment. “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” (1 Corinthians 15:19 KJV). I have had many disappointments in life and many people have disappointed me, but I have found in Jesus Christ no disappointment whatsoever. All legitimate hope is in Jesus. Rev. James L.

Kiwanis Club holds Tuesday Lunch Special to Extra CHIPLEY — The Chipley Kiwanis Club met for its weekly luncheon at Pattillo’s Restaurant at the Washington – Holmes Technical Center, on Aug. 5. Lunch was provided by the students of the culinary program at the Technical Center. Paul Goulding, program chairman, introduced Ruth McCrary, Jane Potter, Cynthia Johnson and Susan Roberts, members of the Friends of the Library. Mrs. McCrary and Mrs. Potter presented information about their organization. “The first public library was founded in 1934 by the Chipley Woman’s Club,” Mrs. McCrary noted. In September of 1988 the Community Improvement Committee of the Chipley Woman’s Club recommended that the Friends of the Library be formed as a separate organization. In 1989 the Friends of the Washington County Library was formed with Margie Sangaree serv-
ing as its first president. “The Friends of the Library meet eight times per year at the Blue Lake Community Center. It presently has 67 members. The Friends assist in program development for the Washington County Library in Chipley and the branch libraries in Wausau, Sunny Hills and Vernon as well. It also provides informational services in support of all of the Washington County Branches. The Friends sponsor fund raisers including “Bridgarama”, an annual card and game night, and sales of excess books. Last year the Friends purchased the new lighted sign for the Chipley Branch and purchased $2,000 worth of books for the libraries as well.” Mrs. Potter is the Program Chair and informed the Kiwanians that the Friends provide a number of programs during the year. This past year the speakers have included authors Chuck Barris (novel “Toymaker”), Michael Morris
(novels “A Place Called Wiregrass” and “Elisa James”), Nancy Springer (novel “Dark Lie”), and Michael Lister (novel “Thunder Beach”). Other speakers included Elisa James, a Panama City Attorney who served two tours in Afghanistan as an Officer in the Army Judge Advocate General Corps (military attorneys), Carolyn Saunders, an Instructor at Chipola College, and Gus Gustafson, a local minister who spoke about SCUBA diving. The annual Chipley Kiwanis Dinner Theater will be held on Thursday, Sept. 24. Entertainment this year will include local singers and musicians. The Kiwanis club meets Tuesdays at Pattillo’s restaurant in the middle of the WHTC campus at noon. For an invitation, contact any Kiwanian or Laura Joiner, Membership Chairperson at 260-5971.
