High SchoolCHIPLEY — The Glenn

Miller Orchestra will making a concert stop in Chipley in February. Through special arrangement by Dr. James Clemmons and the Chipley High Band Boosters, the band will be in concert Feb. 7 at the CHS Auditorium on Brickyard Road.

BUMPY ROADRhythm housing development faces a

Rhythm backers hope for harmony

By Cecilia SpearsStaff Writer

[email protected]

CHIPLEY — The road leading to the pro-posed Rhythm development centered between U.S. 231 and State 77 is wind-ing and bumpy, with smooth portions at times giving way to unexpected bumps and washouts.

One can apply that description to the roads Florida Landings LLC is promis-ing to pave, but it is also an accurate de-scription of the four-year-long process to obtain a development order.

Backers of the project hope that road smooths out and widens with key votes and public hearings this month, begin-ning with Thursday’s Planning Commis-sion meeting.

“The landowner has said we have no alternative but to call the question be-cause of relationships and agreements we have that involve the landowner, the prospective developer and the fi nancial

partner,” said J. Scott Henderson of Hen-derson Planning Group LLC, represent-ing Rhythm. “We feel that we have an-swered all the questions, done everything we’ve been asked to do and then some.”

Rhythm is the name they’ve given for an age-restricted community of 55 and older with 3,200 dwelling units and

promising a small amount of commer-cial, offi ce and retail for the community’s immediate needs. The 1,883-acre parcel — purchased in 2006 for about $3,700 an acre and currently on the tax rolls at $1,000 an acre — is in the southeastern

SUNNY HILLS — Houses are sparse on County Line Road, even before the blacktop ends.

Once the road becomes packed, orange dirt, the most prevalent traffi c control devices are yellow signs warning of live-stock crossing. There must have been some doubt about the ear-nestness of the warning, because a homemade white sign with shiny red letters reiterates the plea for careful driving on behalf of the animals.

This is the kind of place where meeting an unfamiliar car on the road prompted Anthony Triolo,

who has lived on Buckhorn Bou-levard for 25 years, to roll down the window of his dirt-fl ecked white sedan and ask, “Are ya lost?”

A proposed development of nearly 1,900 barren acres that would add more than 3,100 new homes would transform the sleepy no-man’s land lying near the border of Bay and Jackson counties, residents universally agree. What they can’t agree on is whether the addition of thou-sands of newcomers would serve as a stimulus to bring jobs and services to the area or destroy the tranquility and privacy residents

corner of the county where Jackson, Bay and Washington counties join along County Line Road.

Since Feb. 29, 2008, Rhythm has worked for approval of its DRI, or De-velopment of Regional Impact, which includes requirements for specifi c and detailed plans on everything from how infrastructure will be supported to the effects on the environment.

The DRI goes hand-in-hand with the needed development order and Planned Unit Development (PUD), with all three needing approval for the project to move forward.

And there would prove to be three impediments to those plans: con-cerns over whether Rhythm’s wells will draw down nearby private wells, neighborhood opposition, and a less-than-willing neighbor in Bay County, which has the road with the most di-rect access to the property.

WATERThe water issues, Henderson said,

should be settled given the reviews by the West Florida Regional Plan-ning Council (WFRPC), the Florida Department of Transportation, the affected Water Management District, the local School District and a number of other agencies.

The Rhythm DRI was submitted to the WFRPC in Pensacola on Feb. 29, 2008, and received WFRPC approval on Oct. 27, 2011, after all agency com-ments had been satisfi ed with three review cycles at each level.

Washington County Senior Plan-ner Michael DeRuntz said there was also a change that had to be made to the county’s comprehensive plan to identify Rhythm as a PUD.

A PUD is, essentially, another method of defi ning how a piece of property may be used and includes specifi c criteria. In Rhythm’s case, DeRuntz said, the PUD was refi ned to include a 100-foot buffering zone to adjoining land and protected land, ex-cept for when joined to agriculture/sil-viculture, which would then be 50 feet. And it includes language that con-cerns water sheds, identifying spring sheds, both primary and secondary.

“Since water is such a precious re-source, this includes the protection of water sheds,” DeRuntz said, adding later, “We’ve got to protect our water. There are some areas with more sen-sitive recharge areas, and we’ve got to be especially careful in this area be-cause most of the county is on wells.”

ROADSHenderson said he believes Bay

County was reluctant to grant access via County Line Road, which runs directly to the project from U.S. 231, because of ongoing friction between Bay and Washington counties over test wells Bay has drilled to the west. He said Rhythm even offered to pave County Line Road up to and beyond county and state standards but was

refused.Bay County offi cials said the reluc-

tance had more to do with feasibility than anything: there is not enough right-of-way to pave County Line Road to county and state standards, and the county would have to go to court to take that needed right-of-way from private property owners, which wasn’t a viable alternative.

So with the clock ticking, Rhythm turned back to Washington County with a plan to spend millions of dol-lars paving roads between the devel-opment and Chipley, mostly with fed-eral grant money and at no cost to the county.

The project supporters said the worst-case scenario is that the county gets millions of dollar in road improve-ments, even if Rhythm doesn’t sell the fi rst unit.

“You never know when some-thing’s going to help or hurt you, but in this case it could do nothing but help us,” Washington County Engi-neer Cliff Knauer said during the pre-vious BOCC meeting. “Before, this project didn’t address Washington County road and it wouldn’t have been a benefi t to us, but now it is. We fi rst addressed needing to do something about Buckhorn Boulevard in 1999 as well as that huge section in Quail Hallow.”

Knauer said paving those roads would benefi t more than just this project.

“It’s unbelievable how many peo-ple live down in that area and could benefi t from these roads being paved, not to mention those are school bus routes, and it’d save the district on maintenance needing to be done to those buses that have to go down those roads every day,” Knauer said. “With almost every aspect of this proj-ect, they’ve gone above and beyond what is required.”

NEIGHBORSWith water and roads addressed,

Henderson said there is little left to do to appease those who live near the project.

“Trying to get the neighborhood comfortable has been a challenge,” he said. “That’s probably the biggest is-sue we have right now, and the neigh-borhood isn’t going to be satisfi ed.”

But DeRuntz said he knew the con-cerns of the residents and in many of the aspects shared them, given the history of the area.

“Everyone is concerned with the economy, and everyone is living with the memory of Sunny Hills,” De-Runtz said. “That project was done before the land-use requirements. It would have never fl own with the new standards.”

And key to this development, De-Runtz said, is that all the conditions set forth in the agreements stay with the land and the development, not the property owner. Whatever is approved now has to be honored no matter who

ends up developing the property.“If something happens and the

property changes hands, the new owner would have to follow the same guidelines to the letter or else they will have to start all over again, which is exactly where the developers were in 2008,” DeRuntz said.

DEVELOPMENT ORDERBut the most pressing matter at

the moment is the Development Or-der (DO). Without it, nothing happens. It represents an agreement “between the developer and the county about how things are going to be developed,” DeRuntz said. “That’s why there are phases the development must work within so that they have to meet the requirements on their part in order to continue their development.”

DeRuntz said this is the biggest development to come to Washington County.

“With something this big, we’ve got to make sure they fi t into our compre-hensive plan,” DeRuntz said. “The de-veloper has met all the conditions.”

And one of the big conditions is that the road paving they have agreed to perform will be completed before units are built for Phase I, preparing the area for heavier traffi c.

This includes creating a new road called New Buckhorn Boulevard and paving Buckhorn Boulevard to Quail Hallow Boulevard, Quail Hallow Bou-levard to Orange Hill Road and Or-ange Hill Road till it meets the latest in Florida Department of Transporta-tion standards.

Those parts of the road already paved will be repaved so that the en-tire stretch meets the latest in FDOT standards.

Funding for this project is through an already approved Tiger III grant from the Department of Transporta-tion. The developers have agreed to make up any shortfalls between that money and the actual cost of paving.

After Thursday’s meeting, devel-opers will await a recommendation from the Washington County Plan-ning Commission, which will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 7, at the Wash-ington County Annex. From the Plan-ning Commission, it goes before the Board of County Commissioners at 9 a.m. Feb. 16.

“If its approved by the BOCC then it goes to the Department of Commu-nity Affairs, and if its approved by the DCA then the developer will have to provide a DO submitting preliminary plans, permits from NFWMD with wa-ter consumption permits after exten-sive testing and studies; it’s a plethora of criteria that they must meet before they can move forward,” DeRuntz said.

A Facts Guide for a more extensive look into Rhythm was provided the developer and approved by DeRuntz. It will be available for viewing at www.chipleypaper.com under Rhythm Facts.

currently enjoy.“I’m not for it; I’ll tell

you that,” Triolo said about the Rhythm development being considered by Wash-ington County.

Triolo said he’s been to three of the commu-nity meetings held about the proposed senior living development, and though they’ve been informa-tive, he said remains un-convinced the develop-ment would not degrade the quality of life in rural Washington County. The fi ve or six new wells the project calls for possibly could deplete the wells of others in the area and add unsustainable traffi c to the narrow roads, he said.

PrivacyMany residents in the

area seem to value their privacy; homes are either set well back from the road or have fences and gates guarding their property.

Steven Eaton said he has lived in the dirt-road area bordering the pro-posed project “off and on” for 15 years. The privacy brings him back.

“I like being out where I can shoot guns and no one bothers you,” he said.

Though some of his neighbors get “pretty up in arms about it,” August Duffy said he doesn’t hate the idea of some develop-ment coming to the neigh-borhood bringing more people, a hotel and some offi ce space.

“Maybe it’ll get the roads paved,” he said. “People have this idea 2,000 houses are going to go up overnight; that’s not going to happen.”

Duffy said he attended some of community meet-ings, but at least one dis-solved into anger.

“Most people around here are dead set against it, and they get pretty heat-ed,” he said.

The best source of infor-mation is the Quail Hollow General Store, Duffy said. The small store carries all the necessity of rural life — snacks, drinks and news.

“I don’t think I know one person up here that’s in fa-vor of it,” cashier Rebecca Wiser said from behind the counter. “It’s just the way of life out here.”

Wiser said she moved to Washington County from The Villages in cen-tral Florida in an effort to get away from sprawling development that targets retirees. Despite the pub-lic resistance, Wiser said she gets the impression the Rhythm proposal will become a reality soon enough.

“They are going to rail-road it through,” she said. “I feel that there’s no stop-ping development.”

The development would bring an economic boost, though, said customer Debbie Dykes, who lives a few miles away near Sun-ny Hills. It could bring jobs for locals and attract new investment, she said.

“A lot of the people that are laying-low criminals are going to have to move out,” she added.

The jobs would be nice, Wiser said, but there’s no guarantee outsider help wouldn’t be brought in instead.

“I moved up here to get away from all that,” she said.

Floridians are getting back to workBy Gov. Rick Scott

We recently learned Florida’s unemployment rate decreased in December to 9.9 percent, down for the fourth straight month. That’s a 2.1-percent drop in points in a year. For the fi rst time in two-and-a-half years, Florida’s unemployment number is in single digits.

These numbers provide clear evidence Florida’s economy is moving in the right direction. But most importantly, these numbers mean Floridians who didn’t have jobs one year ago are now able to fi nd jobs. I am committed to working to make Florida the best place to start, grow or move a business so that every Floridian who wants a job has the opportunity to get to work.

As one of the nation’s leaders in job creation, Florida totaled 141,500 private-sector jobs last year. That’s almost 12,800 new jobs every month. In December alone, Florida added more than 5,000 private-sector jobs at a rate of more than 12 jobs for every job that was lost as local, state and federal governments trimmed their workforce in order to live within their means.

Florida’s lower unemployment rate is proof businesses, not governments,

create jobs, and it is Floridians who deserve the credit.

With the help of the Legislature, I am committed to making changes that continue moving Florida in the right direction. I am focused on streamlining government, removing barriers to job creation, eliminating burdensome regulations and keeping the cost of living as low for families and businesses.

There still is much work to be done. We must build on our success and ensure the short-term and long-term success of Florida’s businesses. Our achievements must serve as a platform for attracting new businesses to Florida from around the world.

I have no doubt Florida can be the No. 1 destination for global business. To achieve that goal, we must have the best educated workforce with the skills necessary to compete in our 21st century global economy. A good education is essential to getting a good job, so I have proposed adding $1 billion for K-12 education. This is the third largest amount of state funding for K-12 in the past decade.

To ensure we do not let the children of our state down, I will not sign any budget into law that does not contain signifi cantly more state dollars for education than we had last year. The

Florida House of Representatives shares my vision and has allocated more than $1 billion for education. I am grateful for their support for the young people of our state.

Another step that will make Florida a better place for business is to make sure we focus on the transportation projects that are best for Florida. Preparing Florida’s ports for increased trade from the expanded Panama Canal and free trade agreements will ensure Florida is a global trading hub and attract businesses to our state from across the world.

Florida already is the top tourist destination, and we are well on our way to being the leading place for business. We are making great progress in the Sunshine State, and I look forward to working closely with the Legislature to identify ways to ensure that every Floridian that wants a job, can get one.

I remain focused on three things: making sure Florida’s children can receive a good education, making sure that Floridians can fi nd a job and keeping the cost of living low in our state. Please share your ideas with me by emailing [email protected] orida.com. Working together, we can get Florida back to work!

Article highlights high school accomplishmentsMy 1944 Vernon

High School classmate Frederick Kolmetz rates high on the list as one of the most faithful readers of “Perry’s Prattle,” which is now approaching its ninth anniversary.

Frederick has told me many of his experiences in grammar school at Pleasant Grove School, teachers he remembers, the discipline they administered and some of the profound teachings that many of the teachers imparted to the students.

Recently, my classmate brought me a packet of materials containing an article written by Ken Yarbor in the April 2010 edition of Street Talk. His subject was the school at Hinson Cross Roads, offi cially named Pleasant Grove School. Thanks to the author, Ken Yarbor and the publisher, Kelley Ward, for their approval in using some of that material for this story.

Ken Yarbor and wife, Stella, are retired educators from Bay County. Ken has family ties in the Hinson Cross Roads community of Washington County, where they now live.

When Ken became impressed to write some history spotlighting Pleasant Grove School, he immediately called Gertrude Dunn Weaver, whom he knew had a long and colorful career in the teaching profession in Washington County. He learned that retired Gertrude Weaver began school at Pleasant Grove

in 1927 and graduated from the eighth grade in 1934. She reported that an average of 60 students, in grades one through eight, were taught in the four-

room, bungalow style building. It was built on land acquired from Mrs. Anne Hood in 1926 and welcomed its fi rst students in the Fall of that year. Drinking water was obtained from

the open well of Mrs. Hood.

The fi rst principal of the school was a Mrs. Wyatt. Others include George Moore, Mr. Sellars, Cary Fleming, Jennie McKeithen, Olga Hardy, James F. (Jim) Russ Sr., Olive Berry, Rex Yates, Auburn Hood, Johnny Jenkins, J. V. Ross and R. I. Roche Sr.

Teachers recalled by Mrs. Weaver from the earlier years are listed as Lillian Fleming, Iris Worthington, Mary Hiley, Mamie Evans, Mary Russ, Carlton Brock, Verna Fleming, Margie McCrary, Ola Hood, Auburn Hood, Jessie Hinson, Katie McDonnell, Myrtice Smith, Fitzhugh Carter, Burton Farrell, Ottis Pippin, Lillie Bell Worthington, Belle Sapp and Ada Pate.

Some of the teachers lived with families in the community. Mary Hiley Remington, now 97 and living in North Carolina, “boarded” with the John Lee family and continues to maintain contact with Teresa Lee Duke, daughter of the Lees. She also wrote extensively

for the Heritage of Washington Book, published in 2006. She does not recall discipline ever being a problem in the school and recalls that teachers always had full cooperation from parents.

Heat for the school building was provided by wood burning heaters, which made for extreme heat or extreme cold and also allowed for unpleasant smoke to permeate the room if not burning properly. In addition to the school trustee’s duties of hiring teachers, they were also responsible for purchasing wood for heat.

Ken Yarbor reports

that present residents of Hinson Cross Roads, Rev. Leon Jenkins, pastor of New Bethany Assembly of God Church there, Horace Anderson and Mrs. Merle

Osment, continue to fondly remember their experiences as Pleasant Grove School students. The school principal would use a hand-held bell to call students to their classrooms. Teachers would start school each morning with a devotional, a pledge to the fl ag and the singing of patriotic songs. Most students brought lunches in paper bags. After eating, they were allowed to remain outside until the principal

rang the bell, signaling the time to return to class.

Most students walked to and from school. Others rode horse drawn wagons and a few rode automobiles. Two school buses served the school with Tom Morrell and Harvey Hinson delivering elementary pupils to Pleasant Grove School and to Vernon with High School.

The 1932 fi rst graduating class of Vernon High School consisted of all graduates of Pleasant Grove School. They were Carmel Brock, Ola Hood, Ethel Smith and Mary Yates.

Gertrude Weaver

returned to Pleasant Grove to teach in 1941 after graduating from Vernon High School in 1938. She remained there until 1946, serving as principal of the school in the 1945-46 school term. This lady’s career in teaching in Washington County Schools is legendary.

Many fond memories have been expressed of “the good ole days” at Pleasant Grove School by former students and the host of teachers who worked there.

A follow-up article is planned next week on New Prospect School near Caryville.

New editor joins staffThe more things change, the

more they stay the same. A year ago, I was managing

editor of the Washington County Newspapers — not in Florida, but in Washington County, Ark. As of Monday, my job title became managing editor of Washington County News and the Holmes County Times-Advertiser, but while the title is the same, my latitude changed quite a bit.

My wife and I packed up and moved to Chipley this past weekend so I could take the position as managing editor of Washington County News and Holmes County Times-Advertiser.

In a nutshell, I began my journalism career in high school, then after a stint in the Navy, I returned to Arkansas State University for my degree in journalism. I have worked as editor at weekly papers in Eureka Springs, Ark., Dumas, Ark., and of course in Washington County. The paper was in the city of Lincoln, population 2,100.

I began the process of moving to the Tri-County area back before Christmas, but the holidays slowed down the process and I wasn’t able

to see Chipley until early January when I fl ew down to visit. It was pretty much love at fi rst sight for me, and I couldn’t wait until I was bringing my better half, Shannon, down to see this region.

I kept trying to come up with an Arkansas correlation, but there wasn’t really anything quite to match Chipley. To this newbie, the city has a quiet, beach-like charm in the architecture and a grand sense of southern hospitality. Spanish moss and palm trees are the biggest tip off I am not in

Arkansas any more. Washington County, Ark., is

home to the city of Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas, which of course is home to the Arkansas Razorbacks, which is the state’s No. 1 team. The Hogs did very well in the SEC this past season. My alma mater is Arkansas State University, however, which is in northeast Arkansas and is home to the Red Wolves, which play in the Sun Belt Conference.

Everyone I have met so far in my three-day residency here has been very gregarious — Sunday night we dined at KFC and I was impressed with one of the young

ladies behind the counter who is planning a new career as a nurse, beginning her training this week at Washington-Holmes Technical Center.

I haven’t gotten to explore much of Holmes County yet, although I came down from Montgomery via U.S. Highway 231 so I got to see much of the countryside. Still, I have yet to get to come meet many residents. If you see me out and about feel free to stop and say hello, I am looking forward to meeting as many folks as I can and becoming a part of the community.

My philosophy on community newspapers such as ours is that the newspaper is the collective story of not only the city or the county government, but it’s the story of all of us, and I am looking forward to telling as many of our stories as possible.

Since I am new here, I am asking for your help in telling the Tri-County story. Email me at [email protected] about your lives — I’m interested in everything. Jobs, hobbies, churches and church happenings, county history — If you think it should be in the paper, drop me a note or give me a call 638-0212.

I’m looking forward to reading, and writing, about you.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor,I’m ashamed to be a

card-carrying member of the Republican Party. Are Romney and Gingrich the best we can put up as our nominee? Do we, as a party, really feel that the lesser of two evils is the best way to select a Presidential candidate? Our “debates” have deteriorated to an

endless, pointless, barrage of mud-slinging; never any real detailed debate over issues. This really depresses me. Mr. O must be loving it, as he will have all the mud he needs when it comes to mud-slinging time in November.

Laurence Paul Cutts’ fa-ther was a beekeeper, so it came as a natural progres-sion that he would follow in his father’s footsteps. At 16, Cutts began raising queens to sell. This grew into a business in which he produced and sold honey and provided bees for pol-lination for various crops in Florida, Alabama and Geor-gia. He worked in this busi-ness until 1985, when he accepted a posi-tion with the state of Florida overseeing the state’s apiary inspections.

During his employment with the state, the varroa mite and small hive beetle were creating major problems for beekeepers throughout the state. Laurence was instrumental in bringing the need for research to reduce beehive losses to the forefront. Throughout his tenure with the state, he was always ac-

cessible to both commercial and independent beekeep-ers with unlimited advice and direction. A commercial beekeeper with more than 8,000 hives once remarked that without Cutts, he would have lost everything.

He recently invented and is marketing a new beetle trap through various bee sup-ply companies in the United States. This trap promises to be a better deterrent for the small hive beetle.

Laurence was known as a leader in the state’s beekeeping industry and as such was a much sought-after speaker and teacher. Because of his leadership, determination and experience, Florida remains a leader in agricultural pro-duction. Without honey bees pollinating Florida crops, this state would be un-able to produce the quantity and quality of various agricultural products it does today.

LAURENCE PAUL CUTTS

TALLAHASSEE (AP) — U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland says he will fi le a bill in Con-gress that would put pressure on the En-vironmental Protection Agency (EPA) to adopt state rather than federal water pollution rules for Florida.

The Panama City Republican an-nounced his plans Monday on the steps of Florida’s old Capitol.

The legislation would prohibit the EPA from adopting its own rules for Florida if the agency administrator de-termines state rules meet requirements of the federal Water Pollution Control Act. It would not affect other states.

“Our bill reinforces the bipartisan work being accomplished in the Flor-ida Legislature to ensure that no one has greater control in determining the health of our waterways than ourselves,” Southerland said.

Environmentalists contend the state’s proposed rules setting numeric nutrient standards for phosphorous and nitrogen in lakes, streams and other wa-ter bodies would be too weak to prevent or clean up toxic algae choking Florida’s waterways. The nutrients are contained in such pollutants as sewage, manure and fertilizer.

Agriculture, business and utility in-

terests back the state’s version. They contend the tougher federal rules would be too expensive to implement.

“We are not trying to reduce or to un-dermine the requirements in the Clean Water Act,” Southerland said. “We’re just saying when we meet those standards, acknowledge those standards and do not single us out for a stiffer standard that does not apply to the other 49 states.”

A nonbinding provision in the pro-posed legislation also would express the “sense of Congress” that the EPA should take into account the economic effect of numeric nutrient criteria when deciding which set of rules to adopt. That includes not promulgating or enforcing any crite-ria “that would result in a negative eco-nomic impact of 15 percent on any such sector.”

The legislation might be too late to affect the EPA’s decision on rules for in-land waters, which is expected by March. The agency, though, says it may agree to another delay if the state needs more time to implement the rules. The imple-mentation date already has been delayed for 15 months.

The EPA also is developing separate rules for coastal areas. They currently are scheduled for adoption in November.

Can you believe it? Spanish mackerel in January? Most every year in March everyone goes to bed like a kid excitingly waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas Day, except in this case these fishermen are waiting for the spring run of Spanish mackerel.

This year the wait was over sort of early. A whole two months to be exact. On both big piers, the city and M.B. Miller, Spanish

mackerel were caught this past week. I wouldn’t put too much stock in the fact it appears they have arrived early this year, because they are just holdovers

from last year. If we ever get some cold weather it will drive down the water temperature and they will be as hard to find as your brother-in-law who owes you money.

Another fish that is a holdover from last year is the pompano. They have been catching pompano off the beaches all winter. These pompano aren’t the biggest ones I have seen, but you should not have to measure them.

When Phillips Inlet opened recently thousands of juvenile pompano emptied into the Gulf. I’m sure some of the pompano being caught are some of those. These pompano have been trapped in the inlet since summer waiting to get back to the Gulf.

The old reliable whiting also are biting in certain spots on the beach including the cement piers. Redfish seem to come and go as they please and a few are being caught when they pass under the piers.

I have noticed that normally a redfish caught from a boat has to be more than 18 inches and under 27 inches. Not so it seems if caught off the beach. If it can fit in the cooler or even if it can’t it never seems to find its way back to the water. At least not with the crew fishing down my way.

Another fish that is being caught and seen under the piers is sheepshead, another March fish. They also are caught beginning in March when they come to spawn around the jetties and wrecks in shallow water. I know the Gulf is warm for January, but water temperature is not the only factor that pushes these fish to spawn. The length of the day or amount of sunlight also is an indicator.

If you are tired of sitting in the woods and not seeing a deer, pick up the rod go fishing. At least until it turns cold again.

Whitetail deer were once rare in the state but not anymore. Hunters are able to be more selective in which deer to remove from the herd.

By Stan KirklandFWC

Deer hunters love to reminisce about past hunting seasons and big deer — some that got away and others that now adorn their walls. What hunters new to the sport might not realize is how much deer hunting has changed, particularly in Florida, over the past three to four decades.

Going back even further, white-tailed deer were practically eliminated from Florida in the early 1900s because of over exploitation, eradication efforts in South Florida associated with the cattle fever tick, and losses to the screwworm. It wasn’t until the ’50s and ’60s that deer were stocked by the then-Game and Freshwater Fish Commission in various places and deer populations began to rebuild. This also was aided by increased enforcement of game laws.

When deer hunting seasons resumed in the ’50s and ’60s, most hunters hunted deer the only way anyone in the South knew how — with hounds. They used mostly walker hounds and sometimes beagles.

Every hunter wanted dogs with a “good nose,” dogs that would “cold trail” and bark when the deer jumped. If all went according to plan, the deer

ran by members of the hunting party on “stand.” They shot at the bucks and the does went by untouched. At least that was the plan.

When Florida’s human population was relatively low in the 1960s and ’70s, deer dog incursions on private property were infrequent enough that deer dog hunting continued unabated.

The ’80s and ’90s however, brought change. As Florida’s population increased and more and more people moved to rural areas, complaints about deer dog hunting increased.

In response, the GFC prohibited the hunting groups from taking stands on most roads across the state, whether they were county-maintained dirt roads or paved highways. Beginning in 2005, hunting parties were required to register their hunting lands with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, a move to show the landowner was okay with deer dog hunting on their property.

The changes in deer dog hunting in Florida and other Southern states loosely corresponded to an upsurge in deer still-hunting. Still-hunting usually involved a hunter in a tree stand or in a ground blind waiting for a deer to pass.

Today, deer dog hunting is still alive and well on private lands, albeit not to the extent as years past, and on public

areas managed by the FWC. However, the majority of deer hunters now are still-hunters.

Every outdoors TV program about deer hunting features still-hunting. At the same time, hunters and landowners today are more interested in managing their deer. They’ve learned they can generally support so many deer on the property and they work with the FWC to remove both does and mature bucks.

The proof that deer management is working in Florida is the incredible number of above-average bucks measured for the Florida Buck Registry.

PONCE DE LEON — Tim Al-ford, as should be expected, saw signs for concern long before his players did.

Now in his 17th sea-son coaching the Ponce de Leon girls basketball team, Alford watched his players head into the holi-day break with a 14-0 re-cord. Two stunning losses at a tournament in Free-port in late December, however, stripped away a layer of overconfi dence that Alford’s players now readily admit was hinder-ing the team.

“You can tell there is a big difference between the beginning of the year and where we are now,” senior point guard Kate Carroll said. “Those two losses during Christmas break got our attention.”

The Pirates haven’t lost since, rolling up a 21-2 re-cord this season, including a 10-0 run through District 3-1A.

“Everything was dif-ferent,” junior Jordan Thomas said of bouncing back from losses against Cookeville (Tenn.) and Paxton. “You could tell a whole lot changed. We were all on the same page, and it’s easier playing that way.

“You could watch our tapes (early in the season), and you could tell our de-fense was getting worse. Defense is our main prior-ity. Like coach Alford said, ‘Defense never lets you down. Our shots will fall.’”

If PDL advances out of the District 3-1A tourna-ment set to begin on Mon-day in Cottondale, it will extend a streak of seven consecutive years that the Pirates have reached re-gional play in the postsea-son. Since the 2004-05 sea-son, PDL has qualifi ed for two state semifi nals, one regional fi nal, three re-gional semifi nals and one regional quarterfi nal.

Ask Alford’s players about that string of success and they’ll give you myriad answers that all fi nd their way back to the same cen-tral fi gure: Tim Alford.

Two key fi gures on this year’s Pirates team, Thomas and fellow junior Ashley Harper, once had reasons not to play basket-ball for Alford. That was before they got to know him, of course.

“Coach Alford, I con-sider him one of my best friends,” said Thomas, who lives minutes away from Walton High in De-Funiak Springs but makes the daily trip for school at PDL. “I can talk to him about anything.”

Harper’s older sister, Hillary, capped her own remarkable career in a Pirates uniform last year. Growing up behind her, Ashley was cognizant that expectations consequently would be higher for her, too.

“It felt like I was fol-lowing in her footsteps,” Harper said. “I didn’t want to play basketball because of that. I didn’t want to be compared to her.”

Harper said she changed her tune after she saw how Hillary interacted with Alford on and off the court. Alford’s infl uence

was a positive one, and Harper decided she would try to carve her own path on the basketball court at PDL.

“He’s always on me about being lazy or not doing something right,” Harper said behind a smile and a laugh. “He didn’t take it easy on me.”

Alford has benefi ted from Ponce de Leon’s long-standing merger of the town’s middle school and high school. He knows what sort of player he has coming down the pipeline as much as three years before that player has entered her fi rst varsity game.

“I’m fortunate they’re on our campus in sixth grade,” Alford said. “Ev-erything they do in middle school is leading up to what will eventually hap-pen (on varsity). It’s not as advanced, but the things we want them to know, they get early.”

Jazz Flock, a 6-foot senior who can play in the post and step out and knock down shots from the perimeter, arrived at PDL in eighth grade. An Indi-ana native, Flock joined Carroll as ninth-graders on the Pirates’ varsity squad.

“He calls it out,” Flock said, “and we know exactly what to do.”

Flock’s all-around game gives the Pirates options on offense that most oth-er Class 1A schools can’t duplicate. She can back down smaller players into the post, and she can take taller, slower players out-side, where she can hoist a jumper or take her de-fender off the dribble.

Flock’s emergence as a go-to player offensively was made more impor-tant when the team’s ex-pected starter at shooting guard, Jaicee Mayo, tore a knee ligament in the fi nal practice before the sea-son began. Carroll also is a stabilizing force on the fl oor, offering a wheelbar-row full of experience and leadership.

“It’s a big obligation,” Carroll said of living up to the program’s past suc-cess, which includes two state titles. “Defi nitely expectations are always high. But it’s not just the pressure of the past we put on ourselves. It’s this year, too.”

The Pirates are hopeful they will get another shot at Paxton, which plays in District 1-1A and beat PDL 49-36 on Dec. 30. If those teams do square off again, they’ll meet in the Class 1A state semifi nals with a berth in the championship game at stake.

The Pirates, as they learned once (or twice) from their two defeats, are aware that considerable work remains before that opportunity potentially presents itself.

“Before we lost we thought we could get by with anything,” Harper said. “We went out there thinking we had it. When we got beat we realized we have to start working hard. It’s been tough, but it’s been worth it.”

Added Carroll: “I can’t say for sure where we’re going. ... But we’ll work for it every day.”

Danica Sue Patrick, better known to NASCAR fans as simply Danica, was born on March 25, 1982, in Beloit, WI. She now lives in Phoenix, Ariz., with her husband. Even though she is not the only woman to have been in NASCAR she is one of the few. The fi rst was Louise Smith which won more than 30 races in the 1940’a. Danica started her career at the age of 10 Kart Racing. She was the fi rst woman to lead at the Indy 500 in 2009. Danica will be running 10 races in the #10 car in the Sprint Cup Series for Stewart-Hess Racing, and fulltime in the #7 Go Daddy car for JR Motor Sports. Patrick has announced that she will be taking a year off from the Indy 500 so she will be able to race in the Coke 400 the two races are being run on the same day. In her personal life she says she will drive anything “fast and black,” but she dose her errands in a Acura MDX. Danica’s hobbies are working out, traveling, nice dinners and laughing. Danica says her most memorable moment was leading the Indy 500.

Next week I will be doing Cathrine’s Pit Stop on the history of NASCAR.

winter stats

By PAT McCANNSports Editor | [email protected] | Twitter: @patmccann

Nobody wants to enter a tournament feeling like they’re playing for second place. Three schools in next week’s District 2-3A boys soccer pairing at Arnold couldn’t be blamed for adopting that mantra.

Choctawhatchee, last year’s state runner-up in Class 4A, is the overwhelm-ing favorite in the four-school district that begins on Tuesday. The Indians were cruising along at 17-2 late last week while Arnold was 4-11-4 and Rutherford 3-7-3.

The fact the host Marlins edged the Rams in a recent game dropped Rutherford to the No. 4 seed and a first-round collision with Choc-tawhatchee. Arnold faces Milton, 4-12-0.

“Choctaw, who took sec-ond place in their 4A state run last year, look unstop-pable now that they have been dropped into 3A play.” Arnold coach Rick Sylvester said. “There is no question — Choctaw is, far and away the best team in the district and maybe in North Florida. Rutherford has a daunting task meeting them in their opening game.”

The Marlins have strug-gled through their worst season in Sylvester’s nine years guiding the program.

“Having faced a great deal of adversity this year, and sporting the worst record since I have been coaching here, we are cling-ing to the hope that we can beat Milton and somehow make a go of it in the final,” Sylvester said. “With very limited forces left after a long season of attrition, the odds are certainly against

us, but we are hoping that we can make the best of our beautiful facility and put on a respectable show at home.”

Bay fashioned a 10-0-0 district record to earn the first seed in District 1-2A, that tournament at Walton in DeFuniak Springs. Tor-nadoes coach Ron Houpt

knows that anything can happen in the playoffs wit-nessed by his team’s deep run last winter.

Bay, 13-6-3, by far looks like the best bet on paper to advance of any county squad.

“This district tourna-ment has had many sur-prises in the past,” Houpt

said. “We will focus on not letting that happen to us. We will play one game at a time and treat it as the most important game we will play this year. Actually it will be.

“We started off slowly this year and have made adjustments in the last month and are now ready to make a playoff run. We have had many injuries during the season, but now seem to all be healthy.”

Mosley, 10-6-1, lost a tie-breaker with Lincoln for the No. 3 seed in 2-4A which could become pivotal as it knocked the Dolphins into Monday’s play-in game. The ramifications were made more severe by the winner of that game advancing to meet top-seeded Chiles in one of Wednesday’s semi-finals. Leon and Lincoln meet in the other.

“It’s a tough road to advance because we will face Chiles in the semi, who defeated us three times during the season,” Mosley coach Dave Ska-kal said. “If, however, we can beat Columbia for the fourth time we are optimis-tic because we played very well against Chiles the last time we saw them. Any-thing is possible in a district tournament.”

Port St. Joe posted a 4-1-1 record during the regular season against 1-1A opponents, with a pair of lopsided victories against f irst-round opponent Freeport. The top-seeded Tiger Sharks are 13-2-1 overall.

“We will be entering dis-tricts this year with a confi-dent, but cautious nature,” coach Gary Hindley said. “We got a bit out of sorts during the holiday break, but our last several regular-season games were back on track.”

Mosley’s Grant named to Ray Guy Prokicker.com All-American teamThe News herald

LYNN hAVeN — Mark Grant of Mosley was among the inaugu-ral Ray Guy Prokicker.com High School All-Americans for some of the nation’s top punting, kick-ing, kickoff and long-snapping prospects.

Players were selected from the Prokicker.com staff, which

w a t c h e d a n d coached the play-ers during camps, and also by how the players performed on the field during the 2011 high school season.

There were four All-America cat-egories — punting,

kicking, long-snapping and kick-off specialist. Grant was named honorable mention in the kick-off specialist category. He had 32 touchbacks among 42 kickoffs for the Dolphins, and an average

of 64.3 yards per kickoff. Grant also had 36 points on four field goals and 24 extra points.

On Tuesday, Jan. 17, the Yellow Jacket Battalion loaded the bus and headed to Mobile, Ala. This fi eld trip was both educational and enjoyable. Select cadets were chosen to attend the adventure and were asked to take notes on all the historical facts that they passed by on their tour of the ship.

The U.S.S. Alabama was built in 1940. The ship, from stem to stern, is 680 feet long and 108 feet wide. The guns were 16 inches in diameter and shoot a 2,700 pound projectile loaded with 900 pounds of gun powder. The ship itself was a

small city; containing doctors offi ces, dentist offi ces, a Brig, isolation room, laundry room, chow hall, Ice Cream Parlor, Bakery and of course, a sick bay. In addition, we boarded the U.S.S. Drum, the submarine on display with the ship. On board the submarine, there was barely any space to move around. Every inch of the walls was covered in dials, levers, switches and tubes.

All in all, the fi eld trip was an amazing experience. The cadets in attendance had a great time and learned a lot. Maj. Kuneman said the ship is, “incredible, and you just have to go see it to believe it.”

“Ready, Set, Go! Is a program that prepares citizens in the event of a wildland fi re,” said Godden. “We are here to provide the tools needed to educate others so we can all be more prepared for when a wildland fi re strikes.”

Ready, Set, Go is coming

More on Ready, Set, Go!

Right: Brian Goddin, Wildfi re Mitigation Specialist/Public Information Offi cer for Holmes and Washington County introduced everyone to the Ready, Set, Go program scheduled for introduction to the surrounding counties.

CECILIA SPEARS

The Ready, Set, Go! Program seeks to develop and improve the dialogue between fi re departments and the residents they serve. Engaging in this dialogue is particularly important for the fi re service, because national studies have shown that fi refi ghters are uniquely respected in their communities and can project a trusted voice to the public preparedness appeal. They can also explain what fi re resources are available during an event and the role that individuals can play in preparedness and early evacuation — if called for by their local offi cials — to increase the safety of residents and responding fi refi ghters to a wildland fi re.

The RSG Program works in complimentary and collaborative fashion with Firewise and other existing wildland fi re public education efforts. It amplifi es their preparedness messages to individuals to better achieve the common goal we all share of fi re-adapted communities. When fi refi ghters encourage residents to take personal responsibility for preparing their property and family for WUI/wildland fi re, residents become an active part of the solution to the problem of increasing fi re losses.

Ready – Preparing for the Fire Threat: Be Ready, Be Fire-wise. Take personal

responsibility and prepare long before the threat of a wildfire so your home is ready in case of a fire. Create defensible space by clearing brush away from your home. Use fire-resis-tant landscaping and hard-en your home with fire-safe construction measures. Assemble emergency sup-plies and belongings in a safe spot. Make sure all residents residing within the home are on the same page, plan escape routes. For more information about how to be Ready for wild-land fires, go to Firewise.org

Set – Situational Awareness When a Fire Starts: Pack your vehicle with

your emergency items. Stay aware of the latest news from local media and your local fire department for updated information on the fire.

Go – Leave early! Following your Ac-tion Plan makes you prepared and

firefighters are now able to best maneuver the wild-fire, ensuring you and your family’s safety.

CHIPLEY — The Glenn Miller Orchestra will be making a concert stop in Chipley in February. Through a special arrangement by Dr. James Clemmons and the Chipley High Band Boosters, the band will be in concert Feb. 7 at the CHS Auditorium on Brickyard Road.

The legendary Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all the dance bandleaders in the swing era of the 1930s and ’40s. A matchless string of hit records, the constant effects of radio broadcasts and the drawing power at theaters, hotels and dance pavilions built and sustained the momentum of popularity for Glenn Miller.

Tickets for the Feb. 7 concert at Chipley High School are $20 for adults and $15 for students and can be purchased from any CHS Band Booster or through the CHS Band offi ce at 638-6100, ext. 525. All seats will be reserved for this 7 p.m. concert in the CHS Auditorium in the center of the campus on Brickyard Road in Chipley. Proceeds from the event will go to the Chipley Band Boosters, whose mission is to support the band program at CHS.

President Thomas A. Kinchen offered an inspirational start to the spring semester chapel services at The Baptist College of Florida (BCF) in Graceville on Monday, Jan. 16, with his chapel series entitled “The After Christmas Specials.”

Kinchen welcomed new BCF students, recognized the Lady Eagles volleyball team for their outstanding season, and began the Monday morning chapel service by asking the question, “After Christmas, the presents, wrapping, and decorations, where do you fi nd Jesus?” Referencing the book of Luke, Kinchen read the account of a young Jesus missing from His family. After searching, He was found in the temple listening and speaking with the teachers. Where was Jesus? He was about His Father’s work.

“Folks today are frantically searching for Jesus,” Kinchen said. “It’s pretty easy to fi nd Him. Just go where God’s work is being done, where His word is being proclaimed in truth, and where God’s people are worshipping, working, and ministering.” BCF

students and faculty were reminded not to misplace Jesus in the chaotic holiday season and in their everyday lives.

Tuesday’s chapel service continued with Kinchen illustrating the typical “hinting season” of Christmas. For example,

people spend months before Christmas hinting to others what they are hoping to receive as gifts. Many times though,

people aren’t satisfi ed with their presents. It may not fi t or doesn’t work exactly how they planned.

Kinchen also observed that around Christmas time, Christians are adamant about wanting to keep Christ in Christmas. “But do they really want Him? It’s okay if He’s a little plastic Jesus. It’s okay if He’s warmed by a little 20-watt light bulb in a convenient cardboard manger with some imported hay. That’s okay. He doesn’t bother us much there, does He? It’s even okay if He’s the little ‘lost’ boy in the temple, or a healing Savior, touching those in desperate need. But do we really want Christ in Christmas when He’s cleansing the temple and we know there are dirty places in our lives? Do we really want Him interrupting our plans?”

Kinchen closed the chapel packed series Wednesday by reading from the book of Micah and focusing on the familiar topic of re-gifting.

“How many people have been re-gifting Jesus?” Kinchen asked. “Our Lord does not deserve re-gifting in our lives or in our worship.”

Recorded versions of all of the chapel sermons are available at wfbu.com.

Bethlehem’s 2012 Homecoming festivities began at 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21, with the presentation of the middle school prince and princess nominees. Eighth grade nominees were: Josie Dampier, Kelsey Enfi nger, Harlie Peters and Stevie Spivey for princess; Caleb Brannon, Dakota Potter, Mason Wallace and Brandon Wilson for prince. Kelsey Enfi nger and Mason Wallace were crowned princess and prince.

The high school Homecoming Court was then presented. Of the fi ve nominees for queen, senior Kaylin Griffi n was crowned 2012 Homecoming Queen, and Devin Miller was crowned Homecoming King.

Special recognition was afforded several people during this year’s Homecoming celebration. Sheila Richards introduced everyone to Kaylee Barton. Kaylee, who has proximal femoral focal defi ciency, will be undergoing several surgeries in the future. She is the recipient of a very successful fundraiser

“A Walk for Kaylee” that Bethlehem’s FCCLA sponsored. Kaylee and her family said they were appreciative of the support shown by the school and community. Wanda Pope was presented an iPad for her efforts in the fundraising event.

Bethlehem’s athletic department presented letterman’s jackets to Assistant Principal Donald Dady and former coach/principal Jerry Dixon for their unswerving dedication to BHS athletic programs. Dixon commented that in all of his years of both playing ball and coaching, this was the fi rst letterman’s jacket he ever had.

The night’s honored guest was Jackie Benton, former Bethlehem teacher. Benton is a life-long native of Holmes County. She attended Bethlehem High from fi rst through 11th grade and then transferred to Holmes County High School to take business courses, graduating with honors in 1956.

Benton’s family has seen four generations

walk through the halls of Bethlehem. Her father, Valton Coates, was a member of Bethlehem’s fi rst graduating class in 1932, and her grandchildren currently attend.

Beginning her career at BHS at age 33, Benton taught second grade for two years, then moved to third grade for many years before winding up in pre-Kindergarten, retiring in 2001.

During her tenure, she served as cheerleading sponsor and Pep Club sponsor from 1973-1977. She then gave up coaching to watch her own children cheer and play ball. Her daughter Sheila (who now teaches at BHS) commented, “I cannot remember a basketball or softball game that she didn’t attend as long as I played.” Benton said she has always been a Wildcat at heart and showed it with her school spirit.

Many of Mrs. Benton’s students recall the sleepovers and Easter egg hunts held at her home. She welcomed students

as though they were her own children — with a warm, beautiful smile and a loving heart. She never hesitated to read the Bible and Bible stories to her students. Many times, someone passing by her classroom would see her in a rocking chair, sharing God’s Word with her students gathered around her.

Mrs. Jackie Benton has sacrifi ced many hours for the sake of her students and family. She truly is the example of a “teacher” in every sense of the word and will remain in the memories of countless Bethlehem graduates for decades to come.

Between the varsity games, alumni from the classes of 1942, 1952, 1962, 1972, 1982, 1992 and 2002 were recognized. The class of 1992 presented a marble bench in front of the school in memory of classmates who had passed away, Christy Wilkerson and Chris Yancey. Class members also presented Christy’s and Chris’s families with plaques.

The First Amendment of our Constitution says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of

the people peaceable to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Please do me a favor and read this First Amendment at least five times and then tell me why our government has for over 68 years been

protecting and spending tons of money to spread the religions of Atheism and Agnosticism?

For clarification, an Agnostic is a person who believes that nothing is known about the existence of God or about things outside the human experience. An Atheist believes there is no God. Now back to the reason for the question. For over 68 years, if not much longer, our government has promoted and protected this religion through our government school system, and some have twisted the words of our First Amendment to protect it. You see, “Evolution” and the “Big Bang Theory” have been taught in the science classes of our public schools all these years and our children have even been tested to make sure they understand this religion which was imagined in the mind of George Waterhouse Darwin, who was a racist and by his theory an atheist. Then, Thomas Huxley, an agnostic, advanced the acceptance of evolution

among scientists and the public alike, even though there is no science or

scientific proof for any of it.

That’s right, no scientific proof! I believe a real scientist would actually laugh in the face of Darwin if he presented it in the world we live in today. So, why do our school boards continue to waste

money purchasing books, and paying teachers to teach non-truths, that they themselves are not comfortable with? And why have museums wasted money to create the Nebraska man, which is supposed to be the link between man and monkey. When in actuality, the person who first drew the Nebraska man drew him from one small tooth, which was later found to be the jawbone of a wild pig.

If I could take a 5,000 piece jigsaw puzzle and throw it into a category three hurricane and when it landed it was all together and matted, I might think that it was worth taking our children’s valuable learning time to teach the possibilities of this ridiculous theory, that they

might question whether there was a God or not. NOT!!! Because you and I both know, even if we did this experiment one-million times, not even two pieces would come together. So the truth of the matter is; it takes more faith to believe that this great universe just came together without a creator, than it does to believe that there is a God.

To my understanding of things, since evolution is not a science and it is based on the beliefs of one person, it is a religion. A religion according to the subtitle of his “Origin” was “The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life.” The question you can simply ask is, who do you think Darwin tagged as the “Unfavored races?” So my question is; why is the ACLU and others so interested in preserving a religion, sponsored by our government, which is against the Constitution, and is racialist? And why are they afraid to share another view? After all, evolution is only a theory. Are they afraid that their religion of choice would not be accepted anymore, because it cannot pass the test of human questioning?

The simple answer to all

of these questions comes from the Bible which says, “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thes. 2:9-12 KJV).

Anonymous Acts of KindnessIt is only natural for us to want to be recognized for our good deeds; however there is undoubtedly some-thing even better in doing the occasional secret good deed. An anonymous act of kindness actually benefits both the giver and the receiver more than the gift of kindness that is performed with full recognition of who did it. The doer of a secret good deed will feel that there is something purer in their motive because they are not doing it to receive thanks or recognition, and this feeling is likely to raise the doer’s self-es-teem. In addition, the person who receives the anony-mous gift or act of kindness is likely to feel that the world is a kinder, friendlier place, with people out there whom they don’t even know doing good deeds.There are lots of ways we can do a secret good deed. For example, paying the toll for the person behind us, or buying the couple’s tickets behind us in line at the movie theater. Other ideas may include putting money in expired meters, leaving some food or a gift for someone at work, or perhaps leaving a plate of “goodies” in someone’s desk who we know won’t have time to go out for lunch. We should be creative and even have some fun while figuring out ways to do a secret good deed. There is really no end to the anonymous acts of kindness we can do, and it really will make us and the recipient feel great.

The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself.

Faith EvENTS

By Rev. James L. Snyder

I am rather old-fashioned in some areas of my life, which I do not intend to upgrade to current standards. I do not believe in changing something unless it really needs to be changed. A crazy phobia is going around these days suggesting that if something is old, it must not be any good and if it is new, it must be good.

I think old Solomon was right when he said, “there is no new thing under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9 KJV).

So, I am never intimidated by some new gizmo or gadget that comes down the line. One of the things I have no intention of upgrading is in the area of giving credit. I believe in giving credit where credit is due. After all, I need all the credit I can get these days.

If somebody does something that blesses

me, I am beholden to give them their due credit. I am under the opinion that if I give enough people enough credit that one day I just may be able to cash in.

This all came to me this past week when I had my visit to the dentist. I make it a rule to visit my dentist once a decade whether I need to or not. The thing that spurred my visit to the dentist this time was one of my fillings had fallen out. Actually, I am assuming it fell out because where it used to be was a hole in my tooth. Upon pondering the situation to its logical conclusion, I must have eaten my filling.

This dental hygienic situation brought me to my latest visit with my dental hygienist. While I was there, I thought I would save time, if not money, and have my teeth cleaned. Every decade I like to have my teeth cleaned. According to my

dentist’s records, the last time I had my teeth cleaned was 13 years ago. So, it is time.

Because it was so long since my last visit with the dentist, he insisted on taking pictures of all my teeth. I hope to get copies so I can post it on my Facebook. After all, what would my Facebook be without pictures of teeth?

I had forgotten the whole procedure of dental photography. It took an entire hour to photograph all my teeth one at a time. During the sixty minutes of my photography shoot, I had to keep my mouth open. I have never had my mouth open for so long in all my life.

The upshot of my visit with the dentist was I had a clean bill of health regarding my teeth and gums. I must have been doing something right to have such healthy teeth

and gums for a person my age.

When the dentist said “a person my age,” I was not sure if he was insulting me or congratulating me for good health. Being the gentleman that I am, I took the latter.

“I don’t know what you’re doing,” the dentist said cheerfully as I left his office, “just keep it up.” With that, I left the dentist office.

I thought a lot about what he said and I have come to a major conclusion. I like giving credit where credit is due, so I had to think long and hard about whom to credit for my good dental health.

Certainly, I could congratulate the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage on her superb dietary work in the kitchen. Without doubt, it pays to eat the right food if you are going to have good health. But I

think it goes much further than this.

What am I doing to credit such a good dental health report?

Then it came to me.Have you ever given

serious thought about something for so long, you seem to be getting nowhere, and then all of a sudden, it hits you?

I know what I can credit my excellent dental health to. Apple Fritters. That is right. The reason I have good teeth and good gums is because of a consistent diet of Apple Fritters. After all, everybody knows the main ingredient of an Apple Fritter is an Apple. There is nothing better for a person than an Apple.

Where the Fritter comes in is very simple. The Fritter part of an Apple Fritter is the means by which my body can assimilate the nutritional aspects of the Apple. The

Fritter facilitates the good parts of the Apple to every part of my body.

Therefore, with a deep sense of humility and gratefulness, I credit my dental health to the regular consumption of Apple Fritters. A friend of mine recently suggested that I might be addicted to Apple Fritters, but I kindly remonstrated him by explaining I am addicted to good dental health.

My spiritual health is a different matter.

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever. Amen” (Jude 1:24-25 KJV).

God gets all the credit in my life for my spiritual health now and forever.

Giving credit where credit is due

Mrs. Nancy Harrell Metcalf, age 79, of Vernon passed away Jan. 26, 2012, at her home. She was born Dec. 31, 1932, to the late John G. and Alverda Nall Harrell. Over the years she was a switchboard operator, legal clerk and secretary in various civilian and military offices around the world. She was a mother and loving wife, but first and foremost Nancy was a born-again, spirit-filled Christian who lived every day to glorify her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She was always ready to help, through prayer, maybe by paying a light bill or delivering some much needed food. Her friends knew if they needed prayer she was the one to call. Never too busy, she would drop everything and go to her prayer closet to get it done. She is rejoicing this day and every one to come throughout eternity in the presence of the Lord.

In addition to her parents, Mrs. Metcalf was preceded in death by her husband, Jack M. Metcalf; and her sisters, Betty, Doris and Pat.

Mrs. Metcalf is succeeded by her sons, Gary M. Metcalf and J. Dale Metcalf; daughter-in-law, Gina; four grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and many friends.
