CHIPLEY — The past will come to life Friday and Saturday at Falling Waters State Park.
This year marks the 10th year the Friends of Fall-ing Waters, with the help of many great demonstrators,
crafters and volunteers, have been able to give people a glimpse of a more carefree time.
The Legends & Lore Festival is 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days and will have a wide variety of seldom-seen sites as well as arts and crafts, music and food.
The annual event fea-tures Civil War re-enactors, a blacksmith, candlemak-ers, basket weavers, live al-ligators, wood crafters, sto-rytelling and much more.
“You sometimes don’t know where you are going
until you get there. The Legends & Lore Festival started out as a Saturday night program in the fall of the year and now we are celebrating the 10th annual Legends & Lore Festival,” Park Service Specialist Scott Sweeney said.
“The event now takes place the third Friday and Saturday in April and has grown into one of the most signifi cant cultural and his-torical events in the Florida Panhandle,” he said.

BONIFAY — Two environ-mental consultants went toe-to-toe during the Holm-es County Board of County Commissioners meeting on April 9 — one fi rm fi ghting for the spot of environmen-tal consultant overseeing the clean-up of the local landfi ll and the other fi rm
fi ghting to remain.Belinda Pollock with
CDG Engineers, the coun-ty’s current environmental consultant group, was pres-ent to give an update on the landfi ll site.
Pollock said even though the site contamination is low, it is still contaminated with petroleum and after the last site screening eval-uation it ranked one point higher than what is allowed
for site cleanup.“We double checked to
see if we could have it re-scored, but we’ve found even if we did it wouldn’t yield better results,” Pol-lock said. “For now, the site is at a standstill.”
Shortly afterward, Mi-chael Tadlock, marketing director for Wes Environ-mental LLC, stepped up to ask for the board’s consid-eration to make Wes Envi-
ronmental the county’s new environmental consultant.
“We are a small com-pany that brings big re-sults,” Tadlock said. “We’ve got three geologists that combined bring 60 years of experience, we treat the property as we would our very own and we are a local company.
“We hire in Holmes County, we shop in Hol-mes County, we live in Hol-
mes County,” Tadlock said. “We also fi rmly believe we can get the site rescored and continue progress so you can have a swift and complete closure to this project.”
Tadlock said their geolo-gists have found a chemical in the soil that could boost their rating by a point if al-lowed to rescore.

“We now live in a world of instant gratification, but not so many years ago, you would have bartered for the necessities of life like food, shelter and a good bar of soap,” Sweeney said.
“This spring festival at Falling Waters State Park recreates that time where neighbors helped neigh-bors and instead of run-ning to the store for every little thing. We knew how to make things with our own two hands and fix stuff that broke,” Sweeney said. “In today’s world most everything has that little ‘Made in China’ sticker and is quick to hit the bot-tom of the trash can at the first sign of failing. One of the unique things about this event is that all of the crafts, artwork and un-usual items are made lo-cally and that little sticker earlier mentioned is not al-lowed in the park.”
This event also gives children the opportunity to experience many of
the crafts and skills their grandparents relied on for day-to-day living, Sweeney said.
“The main focus for Friday is set aside for the fourth graders from Hol-mes, Jackson, Bay and Washington County to edu-cate our area youngsters about these various crafts and skills to take them back in time to experience life from over 100 years ago, but the general public is always welcome. On Sat-urday, the energy level gets bumped up a notch with live music throughout the day, Civil War re-enactors, living history demonstra-tions, animal exhibits, local artists and crafters, great food and more,” Sweeney said.
Falling Waters State Park is a place filled with natural wonders and a rich cultural history. The park was established in 1962 to preserve what is consid-ered one of Florida’s most unique geological features but the park is so much more.
During the ensuing five decades, Falling Waters State Park added many amenities and to this day
continues to improve. The park’s improve-
ments can be attributed to the dedicated staff that continues to strive to make this state park one of the best, Sweeney said. How-ever, in recent years the local community has be-come more involved with assisting in preserving and protecting one of the Florida’s Panhandle hid-den treasure.
This year’s event is in memory of Raymond Smoker.
Smoker was a big part of the success of the Leg-ends & Lore Festival.
“This year’s event is dedicated to his memory for all of his hard work and effort in the countless events he played a part in,” Sweeney said. “His love for the simple things in life has inspired us all. We will miss him seeing you here with us.”
Smoker was one of the festival’s most avid supporters.
“He was lost to us this year while working with horses and helping others. He is a great loss to our event and the community as a whole,” Sweeney said.

Belinda Pollock with CDG Engineers, the county’s current environmental consultant group, was
present to give an update on the landfill site and
contended with Wes Engineering, LLC on if the
site could be rescored, which will determine
if CDG Engineers will remain as the county’s
consultant or if it will go to Wes Engineering, LLC.
“It would be of no cost to transfer the project to us,” Tadlock said. “It would be a cost-free and seamless transition.”
Pollock assured the board the site may be able to be rescored, but she knew it wouldn’t be ranked any higher.
Tadlock insisted if the board would ap-point his firm as the county’s consultant, then they could get that score higher.
“Put your money where your mouth is,” Commissioner Kenneth Williams told Tadlock. “If you can rescore it higher, then the position is yours.”
Tadlock agreed with the board’s de-cision that if Wes Environmental could return with a rescored site evaluation, then they would be the new contracted environmental consultants for the coun-ty, a state-funded and county-appointed position.
The board also approved to award Melvin Engineering with the design of Sandpath Road Phase II, a sidewalk project.
Chairman Monty Merchant said there
is an issue with the spotlights for the courthouse’s flag pole constantly being out at night.
“We need to put a light on it or take it down,” Merchant said.
The board agreed to see if the Holmes County Sheriff ’s Office could see about taking it down every night and putting it up every morning.
Commissioner Bill Parish was unani-mously chosen to be the auctioneer at the auction of surplus county items on April 12.
Merchant also asked about maintain-ing the landscape around the courthouse and was assured there was a landscape architect on staff to get started.
“It just doesn’t seem to make any sense to pay for the courthouse to be beautified and then let the lawn take it over,” Merchant said.
A special session was held at 7:30 a.m. April 16, and the next regularly scheduled meeting of the commissioners is set for 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 30.

PANAMA CITY BEACH — The dolphin etiquette class held in Panama City Beach Wednesday did not involve porpoises per-fecting their table manners.
Instead, it addressed a seri-ous issue plaguing the species in the Bay County area.
The Panama City area has been branded a “hot spot” for illegal dolphin interaction, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), in partnership with lo-cal businesses, is working to change that.
The class targeted the area’s wild dolphin tour op-erators, and provided tips for responsible practices to avoid harassment of dolphins for the roughly 30 people in attendance.
Under the Marine Mam-mal Protection Act it is illegal to feed, touch or pursue wild dolphins, and noncompliance could result in a $5,000 fi ne for tour operators.
FWC Maj. Bruce Cooper, who oversees law enforcement efforts in the Panhandle, said il-legal dolphin interactions have been an issue in the Panama
City area for the last 15 years, but incidents have escalated in the last few years due to ha-bitual feeding of dolphins.
“Our priority is to protect the dolphin, but at the same time we want to protect your businesses,” Cooper said. “We’re at a point in time right now where we need to make some changes.”
Cooper said the FWC has set aside $10,000 this year to plant undercover offi cers on tour boats this summer to see whether or not operators are following the rules.
“It’s become a vicious cycle, and we want to move away from that,” Cooper said. “What’s happening is they’re becoming more and more de-pendant on humans.”
Denis Richard, owner of the dolphin cruise company Water Planet, presented a list of dol-phin dos and don’ts to the au-dience, citing ignorance, greed and complacency as the root of the problems.
“As we abuse this resource, we’re cutting the branch we’re sitting on,” Richard said. “The fact that you’re here tells me
that you’re doing a great effort and we’re going in the right direction.”
Richard estimated there are about 25 established dolphin tour operators in Bay County, and said he has seen patrons try to feed dolphins everything from sandwiches to beer and cigarettes.
The organizers of the semi-nar partnered with the Bay County Tourist Development Council, which will provide a spotlight on the agency’s web-site for tour companies that complete the class.
The seminar also featured presentations from biologists from Gulf World, Sea World and the FWC.
FWC biologist Elsa Haubold presented data from a 2011 sur-vey conducted in Bay County in which 55 percent of businesses said they were aware feeding dolphins was illegal, but only 40 percent said it was harmful.
Haubold said many issues stem from lack of education, and commended the crowd for being proactive.
“To me this is phenomenal to have you all here,” Haubold said. “The government can’t just come in and wave a heavy stick. … It’s going to take the community to solve all of these problems.”

BONIFAY FIREFIGHTERS RESPOND TO AWNING BLAZE
HEATHER LEIPHART | Halifax Media Group
Audience members crowd into the Marinemax Boat Showroom to hear lectures on dolphin etiquette in Panama City Beach on Wednesday.
On the heels of celebrating 10 years of publication, the Prattler feels a full-fl edged commercial coming on for the “Prattle” and for the Heritage of Washington County book.
Many activities came to Chipley this past weekend — Relay for Life, Flea Across Florida with yard sales and fl ea market vendors on every corner, and the concert at Spanish Play House on Saturday night, featuring Big River Bluegrass, which concluded the events.
Hester and I participated in all of the above, plus attended other events during the week. Included was Ms. Lotta Davis’ 101st Birthday Reception held at First Presbyterian Church on April 7 and the Oral Interpretation presentation by Carol Saunders and her Chipola College Students at the Chipley Kiwanis Club noon meeting held at Pattillo’s on Tuesday April 9. We also treated ourselves to dinner at Bailey’s Restaurant on Thursday night.
The 10th year celebration continues as accolades come forth for “Perry’s Prattle.”
Wade Webb told me that Ms. Lotta’s event that he is a “regular” in reading my articles and inquired as to my source of “research.” He seemed surprised with the answer that most of my material comes from memories and experiences of the past.
Catherine Jeffries Braxton, a Cottondale business person, who we have known since Chuck
Wagon days in Chipley, apologized to Hester for interrupting our dinner at Bailey’s. She was highly complimentary of the historic materials found in each week’s Prattle. She mentioned her maiden name
of Jeffries, explaining that James Arthur Jefferies married Marie White of the Poplar Head community and Annie Jeffries married Dempsey J. Brock and all the large family of children all were given names beginning with the letter “C”. She did not mention owning the Heritage Book and I need to let her know all of the above in included in that publication.
On Friday of the fl ea market event, Hester and I “worked” the West U.S. Highway 90 corridor as long as our energy held out. We encountered vendors, Steve and Jan Mason, set up on the grounds of St. Matthews Episcopal Church. They were accompanied by eight-year-old granddaughter, Ella, visiting from Atlanta. The Masons reported excellent sales and were almost sold out a noon time and were folding empty tables preparing to “call it a day.”
Also at that location, we met up with kinfolk, Dana Brock and wife, Janet, with a display of nursery plants and home made specialty arts and crafts items of bird
houses made from gourds, beautifully decorated and pleasing to the eye. They were joined by Penny Brock, wife of Donald Brock, who displayed her own gorgeous paintings of various scenes and subjects. Dana is the grandson and Penny if the granddaughter-in-law of Same Brock and Comilla Hall Brock, whose story was written by daughter, Trudell Brock Washington, and printed in noted Heritage Book. These family members missed buying a book before the “sell outs” on previous printings and both jumped at the opportunity to purchase one each which the Prattler “just happened” to have in his vehicle. Promises were also received from both that they would attend the June 15 Brock Reunion to be held at the Agriculture Center in Bonifay.
Out second day of dropping in on more yard sales, took us to the Book Sale at the Washington County Library. We encountered Judy Corbus’ parents as we did the previous day. Mr. Corbus commented on his enjoyment of reading my writings. Both parents have been coming to Chipley for 25 years or more and joined in working at Watermelon Festivals just as if they were on the payroll. For the past two years, they have made Chipley their homes and can be seen actively working at the June watermelon event.
Also in the library, we encountered Susan Jones Cook, the daughter of the late Vern Jones and Merle
Jones. After giving a glowing report on “Perry’s Prattle,” she told me she still remembers my compliment on her uncle, Paul Jones, who was in the eighth grade at Vernon when I arrived there. I well remember telling her that Paul, who looked like a grown man to me, gave me protection from the older boys who attempted to thump the ears of an over grown, but youthful, Perry Wells, who had just arrived at the big school from the small Brackin School.
After a time-out at noon on Saturday, your writer attended the fi sh fry for the Senior Men of the county held at Daniels Lake. James Earl Guy heads this informal gathering and has been especially attentive to this Senior Person. He confi rmed that he and wife, Naomi, will be at the 1944 Vernon High School Reunion to be held Saturday, April 20.
At the fi sh fry I had a conversation with Ronnie Brock of the Sand Hill Brocks whose wife is Wanda Brock. He is a nephew of my 1944 classmate, Emma Lou Chesser Tew, who plans to attend the reunion, accompanied by daughters, Sharon and Nancy. I also had a promise from Ronnie that he will attend the reunion for our clan of Brocks in June.
Topping off a week fi lled with wonderful experiences was when Ken Ruth visited Hester and me in out home. Ken and wife, Betty, were our caretakers at the
Northwest Florida Music Park and Campground for many years. He carried on his craft of building clocks, many of them especially crafted for bluegrass performers who made appearances at the bluegrass festivals. Ken numbers among the list of those who have read “Perry’s Prattle” since it’s beginning and made his purchase of the Heritage
of Washington County book immediately upon its fi rst printing.
The remaining books have dwindled from the 200 received in August to 37 now in the hands of the Prattler. Call me at 638-1016 for your copy. They are $64.20 when picked up in Chipley or $70 when mailed. My email address if [email protected].
See you all next week.
Recently I watched an episode of HGTV ‘s “Flea Market Flips.” One of the requirements for the teams involved is to repurpose one item that they fi nd at the fl ea market.
On this particular episode, an old fashioned three-burner oil stove was chosen to repurpose. It was
all metal built on 4 legs, similar to ones I can recall from childhood which might have been used in apartment. It had no oven. I can remember a cousin, a newly wed who lived near us, having one like that. Kerosene was purchased in a one gallon or 5 gallon can often from the rolling store which carried a tank on the back end of the vehicle.
On the TV show they sanded the rust off, painted the metal and laid a piece of heavy glass over the burners to make a side table to be used as a bar. I Don’t recall (or I stopped watching) if somebody bought it. But it started me thinking about how cooking has changed in my
lifetime. When Jack and I
married and moved into an apartment in Gainesville, we had a 4- burner kerosene stove with an oven. I’d never cooked on anything but my Mama’s “Home Comfort” wood burning stove. It was state of the art and I remember when a travelling salesman sold it to our family. It was much larger than the other 4- burner wood range which she had used. That stove turned out too many to count bakers full of corn pone and homemade biscuit not to mention the bushels of sweet potatoes it baked. I learned to bake cakes on the wood stove using white lard rendered at home for the shortening.
My Grandma Wells had a beautiful green enamel wood burning range, the fanciest one I recall. It had a reservoir to hold hot water as did the Home Comfort my Mama had. Grandma’s also had a warming closet above the range to keep dinner hot till the workers got home from the fi eld. For many years, I have used the base of Grandma’s green enamel stove base as a coffee table base. Uncle Josh Wells salvaged it for me.
The fi rst thing I tried to bake in the kerosene oven was a disaster. I had made a beautiful cherry pie with a lattice crust and it had baked to perfection. We were going to Cedar Key with Sam and Lucille Polston and eat when we returned. So I pulled the rack out to take my pie out and the rack tipped, dumping my pie on the oven door. Lucille quickly grabbed a turner and fl ipped it back into the pan, somewhat scrambled, but edible.
When we moved to Bonifay in 1951 and had an apartment in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Terrel Creel, we cooked on an antique electric stove that must have been a prototype. It stood up on four legs. Four burners were at one end and the oven was at the other. It was the fi rst of the waist high ovens that became popular as built-ins and remain so today. The one at the Creel house was exciting to use as it would shoot sparks and dance about upon occasion.
More than anything else, microwave ovens have revolutionized the way we cook, not that I actually cook a lot of things in the thing. Yet I fi nd I can hardly prepare
a meal without using the microwave in some way. I recall the fi rst I heard of microwave cooking, Mrs. Sally Childers was our extension home economist, and we had some one come to the fair building on Highway 90 and talk about a way of cooking without heat. I don’t recall the word microwave being used, but we were amazed at the speed with which things would heat up. My brother Jim and his wife Lavoughan were the fi rst in our family to get one. He proudly demonstrated how it would boil a cup of water in 2 minutes.
I have gone from using a wood stove to a kerosene stove to an antique electric stove to a full size electric range to a built in oven and counter top stove and back to a 36-inch drop in range. I have never had a gas range except in an effi ciency apartment while on vacation. Neither have I owned a glass smooth topped range. I was afraid it might not heat my huge jelly-making pot fast enough. I still enjoy cooking, but as my energy level wanes and my memory span shortens I am thinking more and more of not having a cooking stove at all.
My how cook stoves have changed over the years

Dear Editor,It was recently reported
in the HCTA that an ambulance — worth what? $200,000? — was out of commission due to the wheel balancing machine being broken and there was no funding to fi x it.
My fi rst thought was why not use the spare? Next was that the only
wheel balancing machine available? No, Eastern Diesel who works on big trucks has one available 24/7. Knowing that most businesses and most likely governments have proceeds for processing small items without much fuss, why not get it done? What’s a wheel balance $20 to $30 at most?
To potentially put the lives of the citizens of Holmes County at risk for this reason is beyond absurd. It’s fl at out irresponsible. Whoever dropped the ball on this should be fi red. If Holmes County still had a county administrator this would not have happened. One is certainly needed.
I’m glad they fi nally quit hauling free dirt and rock to a few select. That was brought up Maybe 10 years ago and I got no where, even going through Tallahassee. Now I hope they can afford a wheel balancing machine.

Special to the NewsTALLAHASSEE — In
recognition of April 8-12 as Wildfi re Awareness Week in the State of Florida, the Florida Division of Emergency Management encourages all Floridians to take the opportunity to update wildfi re emergency plans and learn how best to protect themselves and their property from the danger of wildfi res.
“Wildfi res can occur year round in Florida,” said Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Bryan W. Koon. “Have a current emergency plan and be proactive in your efforts to keep your home and family safe during a fi re emergency by taking necessary precautions.”
Florida experiences more than 4,600 wildfi res, burning nearly 110,000 acres of land in a typical year. This year, Florida has faced over 1,000 wildfi res on 20,430 acres. The three leading causes of wildfi res are arson, uncontrolled yard debris or trash fi res, and lightning.
The National Fire Protection Association’s Firewise program encourages homeowners to use prevention measures to decrease fi re threats around their homes, including planting fi re-resistant vegetation, trimming trees to a height
of 15 feet near structures, clearing brush up to 30 feet around your home, and keeping roofs and gutters clear of debris, such as leaves and pine needles.
Along with Firewise prevention measures, offi cials urge residents to follow these guidelines set by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service’s Florida Forest Service (FFS):
1. Check with local city or county offi cials to see if there are any burn restrictions in the area.
2. Keep fi res contained to an 8-foot diameter pile or non-combustible barrel. Fires must be at least 25 feet from forests, 25 feet from homes, 50 feet from public roads and 150 feet from occupied buildings.
3. Obtain a burning authorization from the Florida Forest Service for piles larger than 8 feet in diameter.
4. Check the weather and don’t burn on windy days or when humidity is below 30 percent.
5. Never leave a fi re unattended, and make sure it is completely out before leaving.
6. Keep a shovel and water hose handy in case the fi re escapes containment.
7. Report any suspicious activity to the Arson Alert Hotline at 1-800-342-5869.
Special to the News
GAINESVILLE — Although April 22 is designated generally as Earth Day, it is observed by farm families every day.
Florida’s farmers and ranchers take care of our bountiful natural resources. Their livelihoods depend upon the good health of the land and water around them. Across the state farmers, ranchers and nursery plant growers have implemented state-of-the art irrigation systems. These systems have dramatically reduced water use on farm properties.
According to fi eld evaluations by Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services personnel, conservation measures employed by farm families save
almost 11 billion gallons of freshwater each year. The savings occur in all regions. For example, offi cials at north Florida’s Suwannee River Water Management District report that, in this substantially rural area, farmers and ranchers are saving more than one billion gallons annually.
Innovation by farm owners has also improved water quality. This improvement is a long-term commitment, despite the fi nancial challenges agricultural operations face.
Intensive testing of nutrient use by soils and plants has allowed farmers to apply only the minimum amount of fertilizer plants need to grow. Dairy producers have adopted containment structures that recycle water and
animal waste for corn and other forage crops on the farm, preventing releases of nutrients into surrounding environments.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has determined that citrus growers in south-central Florida reduced nitrogen levels in groundwater by nearly 33 percent in three years with their advanced management efforts. The South Florida Water Management District has reported that farmers in the Everglades Agricultural Area slashed phosphorous levels by 71 percent in water fl owing from their properties during the 2012 reporting year.
Farm operators support Florida’s natural resources in other ways. They maintain greenspace
and wildlife habitat. And they control invasive, non-native species introduced through our seaports and air terminals.
Florida Farm Bureau President John Hoblick praised farm families for their excellent management of natural resources. “Our farmers and ranchers make our quality of life possible,” Hoblick said. “They do this every day while they grow the food, fi ber and renewable fuels we all need. I am proud of them and their many successes.”
“On this year’s Earth Day and every day, I urge all Floridians to remember the many contributions agricultural producers provide for us,” Hoblick added. “They are the earth’s fi rst stewards and the keys to our future sustainability as a society.”
Earth Day is every day on the farm

The Alabama state record for striped bass has been broken by 15 pounds. James R. Bramlett of Dora, Ala., fishing near a warm-water outlet of the Gorgas Steam Plant near Parish, northwest of Birmingham, caught a 70-pound striped bass Feb. 28 eclipsing the
record of 55 pounds that has stood for 54 years.
The fish already has been approved as the new Alabama state record and if approved by the
International Game Fish Association it will become the new world record for land-locked striped bass.
The old IGFA record for land-locked stripers is a 67-pound, 8-ounce fish caught in 1992 in Los Banos, Calif.
The FWC is holding meetings concerning tarpon and bonefish.
At present it is illegal to take bonefish except during tournaments and then they can be kept alive in livewells only until they can be weighed.
A new ruling would put a stop to this practice and the fish must not be possessed for any reason.
Concerning tarpon, the current rule states you can kill one if you possess a $50 kill tag. If new rules are put in place, the only way you could possess and kill a tarpon is with a kill tag, and the fisherman must be trying to break an existing world record.
Neither tarpon nor bonefish are edible. Bonefish are bony and almost impossible to eat.
Four Florida counties opened April 1 to gag grouper recreational harvest: Franklin, Wakulla, Jefferson and Taylor. They are open to recreational harvest. This regional season will remain open until June 30 with the first day of closure being July 1.
If you plan to fish this special season remember you must leave from one of those counties and return to one of them.
You cannot leave say, from Bay County and fish the waters off these counties and return to Bay County.
Do not leave from one of these four counties and return to some other county other than one of the four mentioned.

Special to The News Herald
Anglers and divers have 19 new reefs to visit thanks to the efforts of the Mexico Beach Artifi cial Reef Association (MBARA), Mexico Beach, and support from numerous organizations and members.
On Saturday, 62 reef modules worth more than $91,000, found new resting places off the shores of Mexico Beach. Mexico Beach received a $60,000 grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Fund and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
The rest came from donations, membership, fund raising and three fi shing tournaments — the annual MBARA Kingfi sh Tournament, the Mexico Beach Marina Offshore Classic and the 98 Real Estate Group Ling Ding.
Reef modules of varying design, each weighing more than 5,000 pounds, were placed in 19 locations, with one to eight structures submerged at each site. The reef modules, all made with steel reinforced concrete and limestone rock, include pyramids, rectangular grouper modules, layer-cake shaped ecosystems and a new hybrid reef that consists of a grouper module topped by a small ecosystem.
This is the fi rst time the hybrid reefs have been deployed in Florida, and MBARA research divers are anxious to fi nd out what type of marine life will be attracted to them.
According to MBARA research diver Carol Cox, “Different structures attract different fi sh. Amberjack and red snappers are attracted to taller structures such as the pyramids, the grouper units act as low limestone ledges that are preferred by groupers, and ecosystems are a magnet for black sea bass. We fi nd that placing different types of structures together has a dynamic effect, greatly increasing diversity on the reef. We hope the hybrid reef with its height, ledge and crevices will attract the greatest diversity we have seen on any single artifi cial reef.”
During this deployment, MBARA added reefs to six existing sites that have become diffi cult to fi nd over the years. MBARA president, Bob Cox, said, “It is important to maintain these reefs in honor of the people they were named after.”
Older reefs often were made with lighter or smaller materials that could be moved by powerful storms or covered by sand.
The deployment was overseen by Bill Horn of the FWC along with MBARA volunteers Bob and Carol Cox, Ron
Childs, Jimmy Nicholson, and Captain Charlene Burke. MBARA volunteers were involved in every step of the artifi cial reef deployment--applying for permits, writing grants, and raising matching funds to earn points when competing for grants.
According to Horn, “Excellent planning by MBARA and excellent execution by Walter Marine” made the project a great success.
To get coordinates for the new reefs, visit MBARA’s website at www.mbara.org.

FWC to meet this week near TallahasseeFlorida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will meet Wednesday and Thursday to discuss an array of issues, ranging from marine fi sheries and upland wildlife management and harvest issues to boating safety, staff reports and enhancing the public’s ability to help control the invasive lionfi sh.
Sessions start both days at 8:30 a.m. at the Florida Public Safety Institute, 85 Academy Drive, Havana, FL 32333
(www.fl oridapsi.com). The Institute is west of
Midway on U.S. 90. The meeting is open to
the public, and all interested individuals may speak within guidelines established by the Commission.
Marine issues dominate the fi rst day, after a representative of the Wildlife Foundation of Florida presents the annual Louise Ireland Humphrey Employee of the Year Award to FWC Assistant Executive Director Greg Holder.
When the Commission takes up marine fi sheries issues
Wednesday, it will start with a fi nal public hearing on the Gulf of Mexico recreational red snapper season.
The proposed season would be open June 1 through July 14.
The commissioners will discuss a draft rule that proposes format standardization and reorganization for several marine fi sheries rules in Florida Administrative Code 68B, as well as the creation of a new General chapter that will include a series of defi nitions and general regulations that would be applied to all saltwater fi shing.
In a draft rule hearing, the commissioners will discuss a proposal to eliminate the requirement for a recreational fi shing license when targeting lionfi sh with certain gear and to have no recreational or commercial harvest limit.
Additionally, the Commission will consider a proposal to make tarpon and bonefi sh catch-and-release-only species, and review and discuss gear use for tarpon in Boca Grande Pass.
At the request of the Collier County Board of Commissioners, the commission also will discuss in a draft rule
hearing the repeal of two Special Acts of Local Application that prohibit spearing or gigging with artifi cial light and spearing in state waters off the county shoreline.
The commission will end the marine fi sheries section with a staff update on South Atlantic Fishery Management Council actions and discussions.
On Thursday, Commissioners will welcome a representative of the Shikar-Safari Club International to present the Offi cer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

BONIFAY — Surrounded by friends, family, teachers and teammates Holmes County High School senior Mikayla Moore signed a two-year basketball scholarship with the Northwest Florida State Raiders on April 3 in the Holmes County High School’s library.
“What makes this team so special was some of the qualities that I’m looking for in all my student athletes,” said Head Coach of the NWFS Raiders Patrick Harrington. “We went out on a bus trip and it was a lot of time spent together, 10 days in fact before we came back. We didn’t have one sulky attitude, not one sourpuss, no problems and no bad times and they conducted themselves in a manner that was so positive that I was more proud of what they did off the court then they did on the court and they did pretty darn good on the court.”
Harrington said a lot of them have moved on to higher ranked schools.
“These are kids who qualifi ed academically and just generally overlooked and then when they came and played in our program and they got the attention they deserved and I really feel that Northwest Florida State is a stepping stone for you to go and follow your dreams as a student athlete,” said Harrington. “Last summer Mikayla came to my camp, my little league camp, and I was thinking that I would like to see someone come through our program on full scholarship and I know she’s a very good student, she’s very passionate about the game and she’s had tremendous success here. What I would like to see her do is have a great experience with us at Northwest Florida State and be able to transition to where she wants to go, if it’s after one year or if it’s after two years.”
Holmes County High School Head Coach Devon Miles said that he was very
proud of the progress she’s made, having coached her since the seventh grade.
“I’ve seen a trend of players coming back in town after six months of college and I don’t want to see you back in town after only six months,” said Miles. “You better
work hard and you better make every single one here proud. I appreciate everything you did in middle school and in high school. Everyone here’s going to miss you.”
Mikayla said she is going to major in Elementary Education.

The News HeraldBONIFAY — Chris Walker
looked like he was right at home in a recent pair of national all-star basketball games.
Competing against the nation’s top recruits in the McDonald’s All-American Game on April 3 and the Jordan Brand Classic this past Saturday, Walker validated his status as one of the country’s premier prospects. Walker, a high school senior who led Holmes County to a Class 1A state championship this year, is headed to the University of Florida on a basketball scholarship next season.
Walker is a 6-foot-10 forward whose explosiveness was on display in the Powerade JamFest two days prior to the McDonald’s game at the Ratner Center in Chicago. On his fi rst attempt, Walker lobbed the ball toward the basket from beyond the 3-point line, caught the ball off a bounce with both hands and threw down a left-handed windmill jam.
He hammered down a tomahawk dunk on his second effort following another lob from the three-point line, garnering a perfect score of 60 from the judges. He added another windmill jam off a 360-degree mid-air rotation on his third attempt before capping his night with a dunk in which he threw the ball between his legs off the backboard before throwing down the dunk with both hands.
Walker was crowned champion over a who’s-who of prospects, including Jabari Parker (Duke), Andrew Wiggins (undecided) and Aaron Gordon (Arizona). ESPN currently ranks those three players Nos. 1, 2 and 4 in the country, respectively, and Walker is 14th.
Walker played 12 minutes in the McDonald’s All-American Game, which was held at the United Center in Chicago and televised nationally on ESPN. He compiled six points on 2 of 6 shooting for the East in a 110-99 defeat,
and his six rebounds was one shy of the team high.
Walker was one of the most effi cient players on the fl oor in the Jordan Brand Classic, which was contested at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., and aired on ESPN2. He scored 14 points on 7 of 13 shooting from the fl oor, and he also shared the team lead in rebounds with seven in 15 minutes. He also added a blocked shot.
Walker headlined the Class 1A All-State Basketball Team released
Monday.Somewhat startling,
however, was that of 15 players named to the fi rst three teams, more than half represented area schools. Region fi nalists Malone and Cottondale each had two players selected by the Florida Association of Basketball Coaches (FABC) & SourceHoops.com.
Walker was joined by junior Chai Baker of Malone. Baker’s brother, Ty, was chosen to the second team along
with senior Marquis White of Graceville and senior Jerodd Blount of Cottondale.
The third team included senior D.J. Roulhac of Cottondale, senior Raheem Wright of Wewahitchka and freshman Trent Forrest of Chipley.

PANAMA CITY — Katie Wright was always going to be a missionary, her mother and father, Teresa and Jim-my Wright said Thursday.
When asked how they knew, Teresa gave Jimmy a knowing look and laughed.
“Instinct,” she said. “She was always caring about others. She was always helping others.”
On Thursday, Katie Wright, 25, a local nurse who graduated from FSU and Haney, was in Draganesti-Olt, Romania, working with a local church and teaching English to a woman and her 4-year-old daughter.
She has been working with churches to help or-phans, to start other church-es, to minister to women and children trapped in human traffi cking and to preach the Gospel of Je-sus. She said she has done
everything from medicine to construction so far dur-ing the trip.
Her journey is sponsored by The World Race, an or-ganization that sends out groups to “11 countries in 11 months to serve ‘the least of these’ while amongst real and raw community.” Her adventure began in January and will end in November.
“I wanted to see what God is up to around the
world and how I could be a part of it,” she wrote in a text message. “I want to hold the orphan … and the poor and the unloved of so-ciety and tell them about Je-sus and that someone does love them.”
She has already worked in Ecuador, Peru and Bo-livia. Her group will be in South Africa, Thailand and Malaysia later this year.
These aren’t sightseeing
tours. Wright’s group works in villages away from where tourists ever venture and in some places with the high-est crime rates in the world.
Teresa Wright said a part of her wished Katie could help people by being a nurse at a local hospital instead of in a dangerous situation far from home.
“It is exciting, but it is scary. I have to rely on God protecting her,” Teresa Wright said. She added that her daughter has been part of several miracles, includ-ing healing for a burned child and help for a child hav-ing breathing diffi culties.
However, even while she is working away from home, Katie Wright and her family are raising money to fund the second half of the trip. She needs to raise $4,000 by July 1. Those interested in fi nding out more about her experiences can follow her blog at katiewright.theworl-drace.org. Donations can be made at the website.
Nurse helps orphans around the world
Of all the joys spring offers us, one of the most troublesome things about this time of year is the increase of insects on our furry friends. Of all these creepy pests, adult fl eas cause the most problems for our pets.
In order to become adults, fl eas need warm weather, between 70 and 80 degrees, and around 70 to 80 percent relative humidity.
“Those ideal conditions are usually what we are experience during this time of the year, which is why we generally see more fl eas coming out in the spring,” said Dr. Alison Diesel, lecturer in dermatology at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM).
While many people think fl eas are relatively harmless, except for making our pets itch, fl eas can cause numerous other health problems in our pets.
For example, some animals may react to an allergen found in fl eas’ saliva, causing the animal to have an allergic reaction. This causes the animal to itch and ultimately scratch, which can lead to a secondary skin infection.
If there is a massive amount of fl eas, anemia could even become a potential problem,
especially with small animals that do not have large amounts of blood. Fleas also carry diseases like tapeworms and Bartonella (which causes “cat scratch disease”) that
can infect both pets and humans.
While there is no way to completely prevent fl eas from reaching our pets, a key factor to controlling fl eas is breaking their life cycle either by killing the adults and/or at least one of the juvenile stages.
“The fl ea life cycle has four phases: The adult fl eas lay eggs; the eggs hatch into larvae; the larvae turns into pupae, which, eventually, turn into adults,” Diesel said. “Targeting several phases of the fl ea lifecycle is best, particularly when dealing with an infestation. The easiest stage to target is the adult fl ea since they live on the pet. The other stages, such as eggs, larvae and pupae, are present in the environment.”
With regards to specifi c therapy for fl eas and secondary problems, your pet’s veterinarian is a valuable resource for the best options and possible medications.
“Your pet’s veterinarian can help recommend the most appropriate product to help prevent fl eas based on other factors (other skin
conditions, food allergies, etc.) as well as discuss the appropriate way to administer the product,” Diesel said. “I suggest using a fl ea prevention that lasts the entire month and is still effective if the pet gets wet.”
Using fl ea prevention products once every 30 days provides the best protection for your pet from fl ea bites and can even prevent a fl ea infestation from being established in your pet’s environment. It is important to minimize an animal’s exposure to fl eas by avoiding infested areas and pets.
“There are some things which can be done to minimize exposure to fl eas: avoid known infested areas, do not allow your pet to come into contact with wild animals or burrows, and protect areas of the house where wild animals may enter to minimize wild animals from establishing residency in the fi rst place,” Diesel said. “If fl eas become a problem inside the house, try vacuuming once a week.”
If the fl ea presence grows larger, there are various in-house treatments and exterminators to aid in fl ea removal.
“Focus on places where the pets spends most of their time inside the house because that will contain the most concentrated area of fl eas,” Diesel said. “Also, don’t forget under beds and
furniture, behind curtains, and along hallways connecting rooms when treating the house for fl eas. It may be best to contact a professional exterminator when there is a large fl ea burden present.”
In addition to treating animals and the inside of the home, it may also be essential to treat the outside environment around your home. This can be done by treating areas of the surrounding property that have an unusually high populace of fl eas.
“This includes shaded areas, under trees and bushes, in dog houses, under porches and decks. As with indoor control, when the burden is high, a professional exterminator may be the most help,” Diesel said.
The best approach to managing fl eas is to practice prevention continuously throughout the year by treating all pets with proper medication as well as treating the inside and outside of the home if there is a suspected infestation.
“It is much easier to prevent fl eas than to treat fl eas,” Diesel said.

The second annual Two-Toe Tom festival was at John W. Clark Park in Esto on Saturday, and hundreds took advantage of the beautiful spring weather to enjoy great music, delicious food and shop from dozens of vendors. The event kicked off with music by the Big & Loud Band and an introduction of the Two-Toe Tom Beauty Pageant winners.
Other events included music by Ron French, Elvis impersonator Jerome Jackson, Southern Chain Gang and the Springs Band, along with a car show, a horseshoe tournament, a cake walk and numerous activities for the children, including infl atables, pony rides, face painting and more.
Two-Toe Tom is described as
a “monstrous alligator” that was spotted in Sand Hammock Lake in northern Holmes County, and people reportedly found two-toed tracks in the sand. The legend fi rst was reported in the 1920s.
In the 1980s, according to legend, an enormous alligator path or “slide” was discovered on Boynton Island, and on close inspection of the tracks, it was
revealed that one of its feet only had two toes, causing locals to conclude that Two-Toe Tom was still alive.
“The legend of Two-Toe Tom is a major part of the folklore of the Esto Area of Northwest Florida, as well as of parts of South Alabama,” according to the event program.

CHIPLEY — On April 6, Chipley High School JROTC competed in the State Drill Competition at George Jenkins High School in Lakeland.
The competing teams included Female Color Guard, Male Color Guard, Female Unarmed Squad, Male Unarmed Squad, Male-Mix Unarmed Platoon, Male Dual
Exhibition, Female Dual Exhibition and Female Individual Exhibition.
Although it was tough competing against many other schools that were much larger than Chipley the cadets refused to give up.
The experience was very exciting and showed that their hard work, practice, and dedication paid off.
The Chipley JROTC program was proud to compete in such a challenging event and add it to their
list of successes. The cadets who were not
competing were observing each of the teams and cheered them on while taking pictures.
It was inspirational and exciting to watch other cadets do what they do best.
The Chipley JROTC program continues to put their time, dedication and hard work into everything they do.

Ponce de Leon archery team in
state tourneySpecial to Extra
PONCE DE LEON — Ponce de Leon High School is involved in the National Archery in the Schools project and competes each year in the Florida Archery in the School statewide tournament.
This is a tournament where students at partici-pating schools compete at their local school through the supervision of a cer-tified archery instructor and submit their scored to the state headquarters for verification.
This year, Jesse Arm-strong, a freshman at Ponce de Leon High School is the statewide high scorer in the high school division. Jesse had a score of 295 which eclipsed the previ-ous state record score of 282 in this tournament.
A perfect score is 300.
Only last year did a com-petitor at the national level for this program score 300. Jesse along with Cody Al-len, a senior at Ponce de Leon High School, now qualifies for the National Tournament which will be held on location in Louis-ville, Ky., on May 10 and 11 of this year. For his ef-forts Jesse received a new bow from Matthews Ar-chery and a trophy as the state winner. Jesse is the son of Charles and Pam Armstrong.
In addition to Jesse win-ning his age division Ponce de Leon High School had 20 plus students that compet-ed with eight placing in the top 30 in the boy’s and girl’s divisions respectively. Cody Allen took fourth (Quali-fies for Nationals), Trace Brannon placed 12th, Crete
Zorn placed 23rd and Bra-son English was 30th in the boys division. The girls were Dakota Pryor placed 24th, Ashley Harper placed 25th and Delilah Bass placed 28 in the girls division. Overall in the high school division Ponce de Leon placed sixth as a team.
All of this was made pos-sible by the hard work and dedication of their teacher Mr. Janice Andrews. Ms. Andrews had the opportu-nity to become a certified archery instructor through the National Archery in the Schools project where, through the sponsorship of Matthews Archery, Inc., training and equipment was provided for start up programs at schools will-ing to invest in the time and people to make this program happen.

Did you ever have a day when everything went so well that you could not be-lieve you were awake? I have dreams of times when everything goes perfect. Then, I awake to the reality of the world around me. I guess everybody dreams of at least one perfect day.
Last week my dream came true... or almost.
For no apparent reason I awoke from sleep feeling quite happy. I had no explanation for this giggly feeling of mine. I do not normally rouse myself from sleep with a chipper attitude. Just ask my wife. On second thought, don’t.
I just was in such a good mood that I broke out into song, which my wife threatened to end my life if I did not stop it immediately.
I did not try to psychoanalyze myself and think that perhaps this was the beginning of senility or something. I just accepted it as a great day to be alive.
One of my basic philosophies of life is, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth; after all, he might have bad breath.
This particular day nothing could bring me back to earth. I was all but literally dancing on the clouds and I cannot dance. But it was a good day to be alive and know it.
Very nonchalantly, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage ad-dressed me in a rather semi-infor-mal manner. “Would you run to the store and get me something?”
Being in such a high spirit, I sang my affi rmative answer to her in spite of her glaring in my direc-tion. I did not care. I would have jumped over the moon if she had asked at the time. Lucky for me, she did not ask.
I was in such a good mood that I thought a shopping trip would be
okay. Let it be known that when it comes to shopping, shopping and me go togeth-er like peanut butter and lobster tail. It was such a wonderful day and I felt so terrifi c I agreed to go shop-ping for my wife. Not that I needed a new wife, the one I have is fi ne, thank you.
When I entered the store, I had a nagging feel-
ing that something was wrong. Being in such a great mood that I was in, I shook it off and rebuked it fi rmly.
In record time, I found the item my wife needed. Dancing and sing-ing up the aisle, I went immediately to the checkout counter. When I got there, I found nobody there. On the counter was a bell and next to the bell, a sign that read, “Ring bell for cashier.”
Being in such a great mood, I rang the bell to the tune of the song I was singing at the time. After all, happy is as happy shares, and I had my share of happiness at the time.
Then I heard it.“All right,” growling from the
back of the store, “I heard ya. I’ll be there when I get there.”
If I would have stopped there, it might not have gotten out of hand. Being in the goosy-kind of mood I was in, I had to take it one step fur-ther. I stared at the bell until I could stare no more and then I broke out into song accompanied by the ca-shier’s bell. I wish you could have been there, it was spectacular.
“I heard you the fi rst time,” the voice exploded from the back of the store. “I’ll get there when I get there and not a second sooner.”
I smiled to myself and reminded myself that nobody was going to spoil my mood of happiness today. Then I saw her stomping up the aisle towards the cashier counter where I was waiting. If looks could
kill, and I am not so sure they can’t, I would have died on the spot.
I do not think steam was coming out her ears, but I am not absolute-ly sure about that. I know there was fi re in her eyes, which were focused in my direction like a laser beam. When she got to the counter she growled, “Are you the one ringing the bell?”
With my fi nger on the bell, and nobody else in the store, it was hard to answer in the negative. In fact, it was hard for me to say anything while she was looking at me the way she was looking at me. She stared for a moment, at least it was some-thing close to a stare that burrowed itself deep into my soul and that goosy-kind of feeling evaporated.
“It’s customers like you,” she snarled, “that makes my day terrible.”
She then looked at the one item I had laying on the counter for her to ring up. She looked at it, and then looked up at me and then looked back at the item on the counter.
Hissing like I have never heard hissing before, “Is this what you’re making all that racket about?”
Did you ever have a day when you felt like crawling into a ground-hog hole and hiding until next February?
On my way home from the store I thought about what David said in Psalm 23. “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me...”
I can endure anything and any-body as long as God is with me.
