WAUSAU — The Wausau Town Council accepted the resignation of Council Member Kerry Collins during Thursday’s council meeting. Mayor B.J. Phillips read a letter from Collins that cited “personal choices and health reasons” as his decision to resign from the council.
The resignation letter was dated Dec. 30 and stated that Collins would resign immediately. “We hate to see him go,” Phillips said. “He knows what he has got to do, and hopefully we will see him back here someday.” Phillips asked the council for suggestions as to who could fill Collins’ seat until the city election in December. “I have to make a replacement, but looking at the city policy, I
don’t see a time sequence on the process,” Phillips said, adding he would like to have a nominee in place for the February meeting so the council could vote on the nominee and swear them into office at that meeting. “I would like to see if Roger Hagan would be interested,” Council Member Dallas Carter said. “He has the experience and he could fill in, if he would be willing.” Hagan was formerly the may-
or of Wausau but retired in 2012. Phillips said that in February, Hagan would have been retired for 13 months, which would be long enough for him to be eligible to serve on the council again. Council Member Marlene Blount also suggested John Earl Walsingham as a possible interim council member. “He has also done it in the past,” she said.

CHIPLEY — The Washington County Planning Commission held a public hearing Tuesday to consider a new cell tower for Wausau and to begin the process of seeking a $750,000 Community Block Development Grant for the county.
See BRIEF A2
Roger Simpson, representing AT&T, presented the plans for a 195-foot cell tower in Wausau that will improve AT&T’s coverage along Highway 77 between Wausau and Bay County. “AT&T approached the town of Wausau to consider where a tower could be placed,” Simpson said, “because we had no coverage in that area.” Simpson said the situation
will be a win-win for the company and the town of Wausau. “The town will receive the financial benefit from leasing out part of the park for the tower, and it will improve our coverage along this important highway.” Senior Planner Michael DeRuntz showed the commissioners artist’s renditions of what

GRACEVILLE — Authorities have released the identity of a man found dead in a plowed field off Spruce Road on Monday. Benjamin Jed Taylor, a 37-yearold who lived near the Holmes County line, was found dead in the cold Monday. The Jackson County Sheriff ’s Office released a statement
saying his death doesn’t appear to be criminal in nature. An autopsy has been conducted to determine how Taylor died, but an investigator with the Medical Examiner’s Office said Wednesday the case is pending further study. Deputies had been involved in a car chase in which a suspect escaped on foot in the same area the day before Taylor was found, but there’s no
evidence of any connection between the chase and Taylor’s death. Deputies also responded to a report of a suspicious person in the area earlier Monday. The man left the area on foot and deputies searched the area but couldn’t find him. The description of the man, who was described as disoriented and wearing weathered clothes, matched Taylor.
VERNON — When the Department of Education released the high school scores in December, Vernon High School received an A grade for the 2013 school year, while Chipley High School received a B. “This has never happened before in any Washington District high school and consequently (Vernon is) the only school in our district to earn an ‘A’ school grade,” VHS Principal Brian Riviere wrote in a letter to the Washington County News. Vernon High School improved from a C in 2012 to earn its A grade in 2013, while Chipley High School received a B in 2012 and 2013. Vernon also posted a four-year graduation rate of 83 percent, according to the state DOE reports, while Chipley High had a graduation rate of 75 percent. Almost half of Florida high schools — 48 percent — earned an A on the state’s report card, according to a report Florida Department of Education released Dec. 18. That’s up from 31 percent of high schools earning a top grade two years ago. More than 80 percent of Florida high schools earned an A or B, according to the website stateimpact.npr.org. That performance triggered automatic changes to the school grading system next year, raising the number of points required to earn each grade. This is the first time the 2011 State Board of Education rule has been required. Education Commissioner Pam Stewart said the

Commissioner James Ussery asked if AT&T couldn’t use an existing tower to get the same coverage, and Simpson explained that due to the amount of data that is being handled by cell towers today, the effective range of towers has decreased from 2 miles to about ½ a mile. “We have to have more structures to be able to provide our customers the service they expect,” Simpson said. County Engineer Cliff Knauer was also on hand to inform the commissioners of an upcoming CBDG grant the county will be seeking with the intention of completing the paving of Orange Hill Road. “It’s been five years since we had a CBDG grant, and we’re eligible,”
Special to the News
The Washington County Drug Task Force arrested three and seized 30 marijuana plants in a recent raid in Washington County.
Gardening and yard birds go hand-in-hand
Knauer said. The proposed project includes paving about 1.6 miles of road, of which the county already has right-of-way easements. “In the past, they expected the county to have $200,000 cash, and as you know, Washington County doesn’t have $200,000 cash laying around,” Knauer said. This year, the grant program is considering projects that have plans and easements in place and that are ready to begin and they are considering that preparedness as a substitute for the $200,000. Commissioner Nan Thompson pointed out that part of the paving was supposed to be performed by the developers of the Rhythm DRI subdivision project as a condition of their agreements with the county. “Is there something else we could hold them to?” she asked. “We’d have to get with the county attorney on that,” Knauer said.
Special to the News CHIPLEY — The guest speaker at Chipley Garden Club’s Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2014, monthly meeting was Cindy Wolf, a Wild Birds Unlimited Certified Bird Feeding Specialist from Wild Bird Unlimited Nature Store in Panama City, Florida. Cindy provided the group with information on how easy it brings life into the backyard by creating a bird-feeding habitat. “Hobbies like gardening and backyard bird feeding go hand-in-hand,” Cindy stated. “The birds keep you company while you’re gardening and can provide hours of bird watching enjoyment.” Cindy discussed the four requirements for creating a successful birdfeeding site. First, clean water should always be available. Yard birds don’t swim, so shallow is better. Second, use quality feed appropriate for birds you want to attract. Most birds don’t eat oats, milo, wheat or rye seeds, but love sunflower seeds, millet, nuts, and safflower seeds. Feeders should be clean — if it looks like a chia-pet, birds won’t eat there. Third, a place to raise young such as bird houses, thick bushes, and trees. Birds begin nesting in the Spring so avoid burning and trimming during that time. Fourth, safety. Critters like rats, snakes, cats and squirrels can terrorize yard birds. Pole baffles, hot pepper flakes, pepper oil and traps are excellent deterrents. Cindy ended her presentation by
vernon from page A1 change is appropriate, according to the website. “We are very proud of the work our high schools have done,” she is quoted as saying. The requirement does not change the point scale for elementary and middle school grades. The number of high schools earning an F grade also increased to eight from three a year ago. A “safety net” approved by the State Board of Education prevented
seven schools from losing more than a letter grade this year. Two of those schools would have earned an F grade without the safety net rule. The high school grades added three new criteria this year: growth in test scores of the lowest-scoring 25 percent of students at each school; requiring at least 25 percent of students score 3 or higher on the FCAT reading test; and biology end-of-course test results.

“Both of these are excellent candidates,” Phillips said. He asked the council members to contact the nominees and see if they would be willing to serve. Phillips also asked the council if the town hall could be used as an emergency shelter in the future. The Washington County Office of Emergency Management contacted Phillips and asked if it could add the town hall to its list of potential shelters. “I don’t think it is very likely to ever happen, but if there were a family passing through and the weather

DOT unveils I-10 study area CRESTVIEW — Residents and local officials offered suggestions for Interstate 10 improvements during a Thursday a meeting hosted by the Florida Department of Transportation. Attendees were offered an overview of the FDOT I-10 Master Plan Middle Section, which encompasses Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes, Washington and Jackson counties. Though turnout at the Crestview Community Center was light, attendees voiced concerns including access and traffic problems. A Jan. 7 wreck near the single Crestview exit caused eastbound traffic to back up for many miles, underscoring the value of a suggested second interchange at the Okaloosa County seat. “We certainly help the study will result in a new interchange at Antioch Road,” Mayor David Cadle said. “We sure need it.” Okaloosa County Commissioner Nathan Boyles recently called for the interchange in a letter to the DOT. “I’m just glad we’re talking about it,” Boyles said during Thursday’s meeting. “We’ve acknowledged we have a problem and now we can move to figuring out ways to fix the problem.”
FFA Teams Place at Sub-District Contests
Want to comment? Residents wishing to suggest improvements or comment on the Interstate 10 study area between Okaloosa and Jackson Counties may contact consultant project manager Sarah Walker, 1725 Capital Circle NE, Suite 201, Tallahassee FL 32308, 878-977, SaWalker@HNTB.com; or FDOT District 3 project manager Virgie Bowen, Highway 90 E, Chipley FL 32428-0607, 888-638-0250, ext. 1530, Virgie.Bowen@dot.state. fl.us. Ponce De Leon property owner Harold Puderer would like to develop his land that straddles both sides of the interstate. However, lack of highway access to the property has stymied his plans for an RV park. “We can’t very well develop it without access,” Puderer’s business partner Carol Cumber said. DOT public information officer Tanya Branton said the current phase of the study is gathering public comments before starting in March to develop a master plan for the study section. The plan is expected to be completed by the end of June.

PANAMA CITY — Confusion over the Affordable Care Act, the sweeping new law aimed at reforming American health care, was evident Wednesday night at a community forum hosted by Bay Medical Center Sacred Heart Health System. Roughly 50 people attended the forum, one of several such events the hospital plans to host before the end of the open enrollment period on March 31. The Affordable Care Act (ACA), which requires individuals to have health insurance or pay a fine, is complicated and politically divisive, but the purpose of the forums is to inform rather than inflame, said Bay Medical spokeswoman Christa Hild. “In general, nobody’s here to pick a political fight,” Hild said. “They’re just here to find out what’s going on.” An estimated 38,000 Bay County residents are eligible for some level of subsidy, Hild said, and everyone in the region who buys an ACA plan will be insured by Florida Blue. Steve Macomber, a representative of Florida Blue, delivered a brief presentation and spent much of
an hour answering questions, many of which were very specific to the interrogators’ situation. For those specific questions, Macomber recommended contacting an agent with Florida Health Connector. Regina Cummings didn’t want anything to do with the ACA. She showed up because she hoped Florida Blue was Blue Cross Blue Shield. She’d done research on the Internet but was still very confused about the new law. Her biggest takeaway from Macomber’s presentation was the contact information for Florida Heath Connectors. “It’s great to know there’s an agent you can sit down with and will help you,” Cummings said. Macomber went over the broad strokes of what the ACA offers, but because each individual’s circumstances are different, he urged audience members to contact an agent who can understand what someone needs from a plan and help get the appropriate subsidy for those who qualify. Because of that, agent Connie LeVasseur expected to busy on the phone Thursday morning. “This usually starts the conversation,” she said after the forum. “It heats up around 6 tomorrow morning.”

To get the clearest views in life, sometimes you’ve just got to push ahead until you reach the top. It doesn’t matter if you have a literal fear of heights or not. Fear of any sort can prevent people from reaching the high points in life. Some individuals allow a fear of failure to keep them from trying new things, which can negatively affect careers, relationships, education and even spiritual development. The term “leap of faith” is appropriate. There are times when we have to release our fears, summon our faith, and boldly step out into unfamiliar territory. It’s tough to face fears, but it’s even tougher to let them rule your life. Work on clearing worry, selfdoubt and anxiety from your mind. You’ll be amazed at the new heights that can be reached when you stop allowing fear to obstruct your path.
