BONIFAY — With the help of County Attorney Jeff Goodman, the Holmes County Board of County Commissioners composed and approved of Resolution 2012-02 during their regu-larly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, April 24, stating that they are fully against

the state-sponsored septic tank bill.

“This our latest suc-cessful attempt to keep our citizens away from the long fi ngers of the money-hungry legislature,” Goodman said. “This is another attempt to make our voice known to the Legislature against this bill. As a citizen of Hol-mes County I’m backing it whole-heartedly.”

The resolution supports

the proposed House Bill 1263, which repeals certain parts of the statewide on-site sewage treatment and disposal systems evaluation program, known as Senate Bill 550.

Goodman said that he also completed the ordi-nance requested by County Commissioner Kenneth Wil-liams during the last com-mission meeting and ap-proved for Goodman to draw

up the ordinance.Commissioner Kenneth

Williams said he was con-cerned about purchasing pipes for residents and col-lecting sales tax.

When a pipe needs re-placing, the county has been receiving money from the resident to purchase a pipe at county rates and, in turn, the county retains the sales tax.

“I don’t think we should

be in the pipe buying busi-ness and collecting sales tax,” Williams said. “We should make them purchase the pipes and we’ll even give them the name and number of the place we buy ours if they want it.”

The board approved of Williams suggestion to change their requirements so residents will purchase the pipes on their own.

“One the same token I think if a person buys a pipe and we’re maintain-ing it, then they should buy the pipe and the county put it in with no charge,” Williams said.

The board approved to modify the ordinance so that if someone has a pipe put in and if the pipe cor-rodes or rusts, then the person will pay for the pipe, but the county will wave the permit and in-stallation fees.

Goodman said that be-cause it is an ordinance, it would need a public hear-ing in their first meeting in May.

The board approved of Goodman getting a per-manent easement to a residence on Weak Street to address any flooding issues that property may have in the future.

Williams informed the commissioners and attor-ney that the state’s new policy during a tax audit was to take the amount of money they thought each county owed and leave it to the county to prove what they owe before they can retrieve the money.

“We got a bill for $32,000 and when we went in a broke it down to what we actually owe it was only $7,000,” Williams said. “We need to fight this.”

Goodman agreed. “It’s the exact oppo-

site of what they use to do,” Goodman said. “They would tell us what we owed and then would leave it to us to contest it. Now they just take the money and leave it to the counties to prove what they owe be-fore they can get the mon-

ey back.”In other buisness, the

board approved of the proclamation to make May Mental Health Month promoted by Life Management.

The board also ap-proved of adding Thomas Drive as No. 1 and Todd Rulliford Road as No. 2 to the roads in desper-ate need of repair in the upcoming Small County Outreach Program, which includes bridge repair.

Commissioner Jim King pressed to have a few roads added to the list of SCOP roads in need of paving, which were Old Mt. Zion Road, Hardy Skipper Road and Line Road.

County Engineer Cliff Knauer agreed to add those roads to the SCOP list.

County Commissioner Monty Merchant informed the commissioners that there was a guardrail out on County Road 179A.

After being informed that the driver that hit the guardrail didn’t have insurance, King said that the driver should be held accountable to pay for the repairs.

“We could get the judge to say that he owes us, but the problem arises when it comes to collecting it,” Goodman said.

Goodman confirmed that because it was con-sidered a safety issue that the guardrail was out that they would consider it an emergency to have it re-paired, which ruled out them having to bid it out.

Merchant then re-quested that the county look into getting an annu-

al contract for guardrail repairs so that the guard-rails could be repaired im-mediately after an acci-dent and Goodman agreed to look into it.

Merchant then asked about animal control, say-ing there was an elderly woman who kept calling, saying she couldn’t get to her mailbox because of a pack of wild dogs kept in-timidating her.

Williams said he thought the Sheriff ’s Of-fice should filter the calls for such matters.

“We’ve got an excellent ordinance in place, we just need an agency to carry it out,” Goodman said. “I’ll look into what we can do.”

The Board approved of purchasing two van hitch-es to hook up the equip-ment trailers to the state vans so that the inmates could continue to work throughout the county. They approved with a vote of 4 to 1, with Merchant voting “no.”

“Those are state ve-hicles,” Merchant said. “What if they decided to stop providing us with in-mates? Are we going to give our hitches back?”

Knauer gave an up-date that they would be starting the patchwork for County Road 181 on April 25 and should finish with the patchwork on April 27.

Knauer explained that he was still in the pro-cess of trying to get the 319 Grant for Old Mt. Zion Road to repair the erosion issues.

“The 319 Grant is provided by the Florida Spring Initiative with the Department of En-

vironmental Protection through the Clean Water Act to improve water qual-ity and requires a 40 per-cent match,” said Knauer. “It’s not as good as it was before but its better then nothing, and the submis-sion deadline is May 25.”

Knauer said that he’s trying to see if they can provide an in-kind match of materials or services for the 40 percent.

“We’re really stressing the fact that we’re a Rural Area of Economic Con-cern,” Knauer said.

The board approved of continuing with their cur-rent auditor services, Carl Riggs and Ingram, renew-ing their annual contract.

“One of their recom-mendations was with the road department keeping up with their equipment inventory,” said Chairman Ron Monk. “Our financial situation is good and he gives some great advice. They are very good at what they do.”

The board approved of allowing the Florida Ru-ral Broadband Alliance to attach equipment to three of the county’s towers to enhance the broadband in Holmes County.

“Is this even going to happen?” Williams asked.

Executive Director for Holmes County Chamber of Commerce assured Wil-liams that it was under-way, explaining that this was just making way so that Internet providers for broadband services will be able to come in and provide their services to the resi-dents of Holmes County.

“Entering into this con-tract would be a benefi t to the citizens of Holmes County,” Goodman said.

The Board addressed the issue of the location of the 911 Department.

“We’ve faced the co-nundrum of either moving out to the Emergency Op-

erations Center, which will cost $13,000 in moving ex-penses alone, plus the ad-ditional expenses per year for the additional T1 line,” said 911 Director Clint Er-ickson. “Or, with the ap-proval of the city of Bonifay, we can expand where we’re at by moving me across the street and using my offi ce as additional space, which will cost $3,300.”

Erickson explained that they were blessed with a grant for not only new equipment, but additional equipment. The problem was the need of additional room to house and use the equipment.

“We built a building spe-cifi cally for this and now we’re not even going to use it?” Williams asked.

Goodman suggested that Erickson show them a diagram of what space they’re working with as well as a list of exact costs for each option.

Merchant suggested no matter what they do they should keep all the 911 De-partments together and that they should reserve their decision for the next commission meeting when they could have the sheriff attend as well.

The board approved of Goodman and Merchant’s recommendation, and Er-ickson agreed to put the presentation together for the next meeting.

The board approved of allowing new road crew employees to take “rain days” as soon as they are hired, with a vote of 4 to 1, with Merchant voting “no.”

Originally the policy was that if a new employee was within his probationary pe-riod then he could not take “rain days,” which are days that when it’s raining and they are unable to do work they will be sent home but are paid for those days.

“I don’t think it’s right to take a day of pay away from

a man when he’s working 40 hours a week and he’s made to go home and not get paid,” King said.

The board approved of allowing the director of the Holmes County Public Library to apply for three grants for the library youth summer programs.

“We usually can get the matches for those grant through the community or The Friends of the Li-brary,” said Director of Holmes County Library Su-zie Harris. “It’s been such a success. We’ve gone from snow in July to NASA visit-ing. Most of our children can’t go out and see these wonders so we bring it to them the best we can.”

Harris confi rmed that there was an attendance of 443 children at last year’s snow day.

The board approved of Commissioner Phillip Mu-sic’s request to haul paid gravel to a resident and to haul paid dirt for Red Hill United Methodist Church to complete their project.

Williams informed the board that they were go-ing to have a demo of a new road grater, that a leak at the shop was in need of repair for over a year and is damaging supplies and that they had applied for a grant towards a generator for the courthouse.

“It’s a big enough gen-erator to provide for the entire courthouse no prob-lem,” Williams said. “The match is between $2,000 and $4,000 for a $29,000 generator with the possibil-ity for an in-kind match for labor. We needed to apply for the grant that day, so it seemed like a no-brainer.”

The board agreed with Williams.

The next Holmes County Board of County Commis-sioners’ meeting is sched-uled for 9 a.m. on May 8 at the BOCC next to the courthouse.

Special to The NewsMackenzie Lane, a 2008 CHSgraduate, completed the 2011 Drum Corps International Sum-mer Tour with The Cadets from Allentown, Pa., and comes homea world champion. Wrapping up a 17,000-mile summer cross-country tour of the United States, the 2011 Cadets show “Between Angels and Demons” captured a clean sweep of the DCI World Championships in Indianapolis, winning the top spot on quarterfinals, semifinals and finals night.

For the 10th time in the organi-zation’s 77-year history, the Cadets

can again call themselves world champions. The corps proved that “Between Angels and Demons” lies a corps with unparalleled talent and dedication, earning a score of 98.35 of 100 and the 2011 World Championship title on Aug. 13 at the Drum Corps Internation-al Finals. Word of the win came to the Washington County News in the form of a release from the Ca-dets’ office in Allentown. “Between Angels and Demons” is a performance based on the epicstruggle of good and evil put on the field to musical selections by Frank Ticheli and Hans Zimmer. The white-uniformed “Angels” do

battle with the maroon-uniformed “Demons” for a 13-minute thrill ride that eventually ends with good triumphing over evil. The Cadets, a program of Youth Education in The Arts, are one of the oldest and most honored con-tinuously operating drum and bugle corps in the world, with per-forming members from all over the country and world. Lane is a senior attending The Baptist College of Florida, major-ing in music education. In a state-ment issued by the Cadets, he saidhe would like to thank his friends, family and all who helped this pos-sibility become a reality.

She said she tried out for the X Factor in Dothan, Ala., last year and didn’t make it, but she didn’t give up and tried again this year and made it.

For those of you who don’t know X Factor, it is a television music competition created by Simon Cowell, who is currently a judge on American Idol.

Thousands compete for the prize of a recording contract as well as extensive media coverage and publicity, giving thousands the opportunity to get their foot in the music industry’s door.

Moore said she was more excited then nervous and was spending most of her time trying to choose what songs she would be singing in front of the X Factor judges.

“This time I’ll be singing in front of the actual judges of X Factor,” Moore said. “I’m excited about being able to fl y out there and have the experience. Even if I don’t make it, I can be proud that I made it that far.”

She said she draws a lot of inspiration from her favorite country music singers, such as Martina McBride and Loretta Lynn, but the biggest contributor to her success was the love and support of her family — her mother, Sherry, her father, Mike, and her sister, Mikayla.

“My mom, my dad and my sister are my support system,” Moore said. “My sister is my biggest fan. I appreciate everything they’ve ever done for me and always supporting me and willing to follow me everywhere I go.”

She said with her support team going with her to the competition in North Carolina that she wasn’t afraid and no matter what she’s happy to have the opportunity for such an experience.

“I’ve lived in Bonifay my whole life and I just think it’s awesome that someone like me from a small town could have the opportunity to compete in something as big as X Factor,” Moore said. “As I always say, follow your heart because anything’s possible.”

BONIFAY — Even with the threat of harsh afternoon heat almost 200 people showed up to show their sup-port at this year’s Autism Awareness Walk held in honor of Hunter Crews’ 16th birthday Saturday morning in Bonifay.

The walks started at First Bap-tist Church in Bonifay and went to the Piggly Wiggly and then back to the church for a one-mile lap.

All the money raised during the walk is to go to the Center for Au-tism and Related Disabilities at the Florida State University Campus in Panama City. The Center for Autism & Related Disabilities (CARD) pro-vides support and assistance with the goal of optimizing the potential of people with autism and related disabilities.

Hersman credits his late father, Don Hersman Sr., with teaching him about hard work. “I worked full time cutting meat during the day and attended Troy in Dothan full-time at night. I have an associate’s de-gree from Chipola College in Business Administration,

and a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a minor in account-ing from Troy University in Dothan.” Hersman gradu-ated with high honors from both institutions and was a member of student govern-ment and Phi Delta Theta.

Hersman has been mar-ried to his wife, Dawn, for nine years and they have two children, Dylan, 7, and Dalton, 2.

Hersman has been a member of First Baptist Church of Bonifay for the last 8 years, where he has taught Royal Ambassadors. Hersman has been an or-dained deacon since 2002, a member of the Bonifay Kiwanis Club for the last 13 years, where he was presi-dent in 2008-2009. He has been a board member for six years, quartermaster for the last eight years and

a scholarship chairman since 2006.

Hersman is a board member for the Holmes County Pee Wee Foot-ball Association, and has coached Dixie Youth Base-ball for the last two years. He’s also been a long time member of the Holmes County Quarterback Club, and the Holmes County Chamber of Commerce.

“As your Clerk of Court,

I pledge to the people of Holmes County the same quality customer service they are accustomed to and deserve. I plan to cre-ate a family friendly work environment, utilize my computer skills and my 15 years of experience as an accountant to be an ef-fi cient comptroller. I will always have an open door policy as your Clerk, and I will continue to be involved

in our community just as I have for the last 20 years,” Hersman said.

“I ask for your support in continuing great tradi-tion in the Holmes County Clerk of Courts offi ce. Proven leadership, fam-ily values, and unmatched community involvement are what I plan to provide YOU, the people of Holmes County, as your next Clerk of Court.”

“A person is justifi ed in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if he or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony.” Chapter 776.012, Florida Statutes.

The shooting death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Thankfully, our Constitution leaves it to a jury of 12 citizens, not a gaggle of cable news demagogues, to decide whether a crime was committed and, if so, who committed it. After all, our system of justice exists to resolve the tough cases — not just the easy ones.

While motions are fi led and trial dates are negotiated in the prosecution of George Zimmerman, the media’s obsession has shifted to Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law. Riding the extreme rhetoric of Al Sharpton and encouraged by the “concerns” of Attorney General Eric Holder, anti-gun groups have already declared that law guilty of murder and sentenced it for repeal by the state legislature.

As two legislators who will vote on the issue, we want Northwest Floridians to know where we stand as we approach what is sure to be a well-orchestrated, well-fi nanced attack on the Second Amendment.

Assuredly, there are very few laws on the books so pure they can’t be improved. In fact, much of

our effort in Tallahassee has been to repeal bad, unnecessary, burdensome laws. But it wasn’t the fault of Chapter 776.012, Florida Statutes, that Trayvon Martin is dead. If Zimmerman claims a “Stand Your Ground” defense, that still doesn’t make the law wrong. Claims are made in court every day. The court, not the media talking heads, decides if those claims are valid.

Without question, the Legislature should stand its ground and defend good law in the face of

self-serving, over-hyped rhetoric from the far left.

In 2005 when “Stand Your Ground” was enacted, Florida was one of only a few states that required a victim to run rather than stand his or her ground when attacked by a criminal while using deadly force. Before “Stand Your Ground,” Florida law favored the attacker.

Consider an elderly woman in a dimly lit parking lot or a college girl walking to her dorm at night. If either was attacked, her duty was to turn her back and try to fl ee, probably be overcome and raped or killed. Prior to “Stand Your Ground,” that victim didn’t have the choice to defend herself, to meet force with force.

Calls to repeal “Stand Your Ground” are anti-woman. Imposing a duty-

to-fl ee places the safety of the rapist above a woman’s own life. In fact, until “Stand Your Ground” was passed, criminals were suing victims because victims, in protecting themselves, were allegedly using excessive force against the criminals.

“Stand Your Ground” simply says, if you have a right to be somewhere and if you’re not breaking the law, you may defend yourself to prevent imminent death or bodily harm. You don’t have an obligation to do so. You have the right.

Those who use every tragedy as an excuse to water down our right to keep and bear arms are already exploiting Trayvon Martin’s death for their own purposes. In the legislative debate that is sure to come, we will remind them that

“Stand Your Ground” is not a right-wing over-reaction. It was passed by a bi-partisan majority of the Florida Legislature. We will remind them that Florida Democratic Party Chairman Rod Smith, while a state senator, was one of the sponsors.

Most important, we will remind the critics and the cynics why this law is necessary, who it protects, and, if it were repealed, whose side the Legislature would be taking in that dimly-lit parking lot or that darkened college dormitory.

Sen. Don Gaetz and Rep. Matt Gaetz represent Northwest Florida in the state legislature. The senator lives in Niceville. His son, an attorney, resides in Fort Walton Beach.

Good to knowDear Editor,Your article on “The

Rules of newspaper announcements” from The Washington County News dated April 25, 2012, was good timing for the upcoming elections. The “Five Ws and One H,” should apply to all kinds of advertisements. Such as posters, banners, fl yers and etc. Many times I cannot fi nd all of the information that would interest me to want to attend the events.

Be prepared for election season

Dear Editor,Only a few times in

American history have “we the people” faced a more critical hour. This year, 2012, we will choose a President. Perhaps even more critical to our survival will be the conduct of our Congress. Congress controls the money our federal government spends. Congress can stop treasonous bills by refusing to fund them. Remember, as do our military, the president, Congress and senate all swear an oath to defend our constitution from

all enemies both foreign and domestic. The most sinister threat to our freedom is domestic.

Do you understand the following terms: conservative, liberal, democratic, republican? You might learn each and all by going to www.jbs.org. By doing so, you could possibly begin to certify what you believe the defi nitions are by joining our local Tea Party and Holmes Tax Watch Association.

The lesson so diffi cult to learn is that freedom is NOT free. Edmund Burke declared, “He who does not learn from history’s mistakes is doomed to repeat them.” History has proven burke was right.

What our Constitution says is very important as our political survival rest therein. The prelude to the constitution were the conditions that impelled the pilgrims to leave Europe in wooden ships, dependent on sails to cross the storm infested Atlantic Ocean. These people lives under the rule of a King. He had total power; “the people” had none. These hearty souls came to a huge wilderness. Key among the reasons they came to our shores was religion. They want the right to

worship God as they chose. The Constitution gives us that right. I hold that right was not to include “Other gods.” The God our Constitution declares is the God that gave us 10 good rules to live by, a.k.a. The Ten Commandments.

The Constitution permits some things, but is primarily a restrictive document. I believe the same unseen had that directed the writing of the Gospels directed the hands, hearts and minds that wrote out Constitution. Our Constitution is the combined efforts of the 13 states that existed at that time. These men are known as the “Founding Fathers.” Since they were Christians they knew well the evil men do and the resulting harm they cause. The founders also knew European history. Thus, after months of debate, the Constitution was written grants “we people”.... a constructional republic — not a democracy.

Most of the ills in America today result from the Federal Government disregarding our Constitution. We are governed by a group of elitist, usurping power from our Congress and senate.

There is no longer any real difference

between Democrats and Republicans. They are only Socialist Party A and Socialist Party B. Moderates do not exist. They are imposters who lack the courage to declare which political camp they are in, conservative or liberal. On any issue, they sample the political wind and take any position that serves their political end.

I urge that we become familiar with the issues and encourage friends and family to do likewise. This way we can cast an informed ballot. If we simply relied the media to guide us, the media maggots would push us to select a socialist.

We should remember what the Greek philosopher Plato said, “One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”

Let us pray for our offi cials asking God to grant them the wisdom and courage to honorably execute the duties of the offi ce, then vote for constitutional candidates. We are either a contributing member of society or to detriment. Therefore, there is NO middle ground

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Standing up for ‘Stand Your Ground’: Putting the law in its place

SEN. DON GAETZ

REP. MATT GAETZ

The Mayhaw Festival was in Colquit, Ga., again last weekend and again I forgot to make plans to go. However, due to the early season on most every thing, we’ve been immersed in the bright red or golden yellow fruit that we’ve found no easy way to harvest or clean. I was hoping that if we went to the festival, we’d learn some tricks to lighten the chore of harvesting and cleaning the abundant crop.

A member of the hawthorn family, crataegus opaca, the mayhaw is said to be a relative of the rose. It is native to the southern states and is being promoted in Louisiana and Texas as, not only a source of fruit for jelly-making, but also as a reforestation plant for low swampy areas. It makes a bushy

tree and grows to a height of about 30 feet. Its vicious thorns certainly will protect it from predators and I can see where it could become a pest itself, if its growth was not controlled. Even though it is a southern plant, most of our customers to the blueberry farm where I also sell the

mayhaw jelly, had never heard of it, even the folks from Georgia.

As a child my dad and my brothers used to go into the woods or swamps to fi nd a boggy place where the berries fell into water. There they skimmed them up with an old sheet or whatever they could devise. My husband and his brother Tom did the same. Today, having them growing in the yard, we spread wide sheets of plastic underneath the trees. Son Glen has tried every method to harvest

them more painlessly. But the harvest still remains a challenge. My information says they are often harvested from boats.

Even after they are in the bucket or fl at or whatever, there is still the time consuming chore of cleaning them. When they fall, they bring with them many leaves, thorns, and faulty berries not to mention insects which are drawn to their sweet fragrance. My favorite cleaning method is to pour a shallow layer into a fl at container, pick out the big trash, such as twigs, leaves, thorns and pecan blooms from nearby trees. Then I pick the good berries and put them into another clean container. After I wash them from several pans of clean water, I am ready to make juice.

Here is the method I learned from my Mother-in-law, Pearl Meeker Tison. Place the clean

berries in a large pot. Cover them with an equal amount of water and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 20-30 minutes. Strain into a clean container. With a potato masher, I press as many berries as possible. Add enough water to re-cover more than two inches above the mashed fruit. Bring to an additional boil and simmer about 10 minutes, stirring to make sure all fruit is thoroughly heated and to prevent sticking, as well. Again, strain through a colander and allow it to drip until all juice has drained. Mix the two batches of juice. (This is important!) For one gallon of fruit you should have one gallon of juice. If not, add water to the berries and boil again.

Now you are ready to make the jelly. Use the recipe from any brand of fruit pectin. Your yield should be a case, about 12 pints at least for one gallon of fruit.

Some sources list other products such as butter, pie fi lling, coffee cake, etc. made from mayhaw. In my opinion, the jelly and the syrup should just be eaten on hot biscuits, pancakes, waffl es or toast, and leave the other confections to other fruits. Some have tried wine-making from the mayhaw, and that is probably a good use for them.

The harvest season usually starts the fi rst day of May and lasts for a couple of weeks. This year, however, they were a two weeks early. When we are in the midst of harvesting and salvaging them I feel like the man who heard that we had them and called to see if we sold them. He picked his up lying fl at on the ground. As the group was leaving, he said, “I’m gonna see if I can get a law passed to prohibit any body from growing mayhaws.”

We missed the Mayhaw Festival again this year

Special To Times-AdvertiserBONIFAY — The third

annual Doctors Memo-rial Hospital Foundation Golf Tournament and Golf Ball Drop was held Satur-day, April 21, at Dogwood Lakes Golf Club. The tournament provided lo-cal golfers as well as out of town supporters an op-portunity to vie for the top prize in a four-man, best ball scramble.

First and second teams handed in scores of 17 un-der par. To break the tie, scores from the most dif-fi cult holes decided the tie-breaker. Taking third place was the Holmes County Chamber of Commerce team, consisting of play-ers Howard Holland, Jerry Hardy, Al Griffi n and Chris Padgett. Placing second was the team from Dog-wood Lakes Golf Club, with members Larry Urquhart, Ed Bowers, Mike Thomp-son and Curtis Cook. Fin-ishing in fi rst place was the team of Jamie Well, Luke Taylor, Bill Lee and Lau-rie Tinsley. Darryl Spence won the longest drive con-test and Edwin Blitch was the closest to the pin. Win-ners received cash prizes and golfers purchased

mulligans for chances to win door prizes.

After the tournament, the Golf Ball Drop took place outside on the put-ting green. Approximately 225 golf balls were dropped from an extended arm of a bucket truck over a hole.

One ball, purchased by Hazel Tison, rolled into the hole for the winner-take-all $500 grand prize.

The members of the Doctors Memorial Hos-pital Foundation board would like to thank those who sponsored tee boxes,

sponsored holes and do-nated door prizes for the event. The money that was raised from the tour-nament and the golf ball drop will be used to en-hance and promote ser-vices provided by Doctors Memorial.

A new Alabama king mackerel record was set by second-grader Andrew Quinn fi shing out of Orange Beach, Ala. Quinn was fi shing aboard the “Fish Trap” along with his family during Spring Break and caught the king using a pinfi sh free-lined behind the boat on a bottom fi shing trip.

The record king weighed 68 pounds, 3 ounces, several hours after it was caught. If it had been weighed on certifi ed scales at the moment it was caught it would probably have weighed several pounds more.

The existing Alabama record for king mackerel is 67-15 and was caught by Michael Krichler in 2002.

Quinn’s fi sh was 1½ ounces shy of the amount needed to take the record outright. Therefore his fi sh will share the Alabama record with Krichler, because any fi sh that currently holds a record and weighs more than 25 pounds must be beaten by at least ½ percent. Quinn’s fi sh did not weigh enough to dislodge the current record, therefore it will share the record with Krichler.

The above information was reported by David Ranier, outdoors writer from Alabama.

The current world record for king mackerel is 93 pounds and was caught in San Juan, Puerto Rico, by Steve Graulau on April 18, 1999.

Flatheads common in local rivers

FWC | Florida Freedom Newspaper

Wayne Porter and Lucretia Leath of Blountstown caught a big channel cat and three nice fl atheads while fi shing at night in the Apalachicola River. At left, this 34 pound fl athead held by Hubert Kirkland of Sneads won the Blountstown Rotary Club fl athead catfi sh tournament.

By STAN KIRKLANDFlorida Fish and

Wildlife Conservation Commission

A J a c k s o n County man fi shing

in the Apalachicola River near Chattahooch-ee in 1982 landed the strangest catfi sh he had seen. It turned out he had a fl athead catfi sh, a spe-cies of catfi sh not native to the southeastern U.S.

Now, three decades lat-er, fl atheads are in every river in the Florida Panhan-

dle from the Ochlockonee

River west to the Escambia River. They are in the rivers by the thou-sands, a testament to their ability to thrive outside their native range.

Sometimes called shoeheads or Appaloosa cats, because of their fl attened heads and mottled color, they are native to lakes and riv-ers of the Midwestern U.S. In fact, some anglers go after fl atheads in the shallower waters of their native range by using their hands to grab the fi sh during spawning, a type of fi shing called “noodling.”

The spread of fl atheads to our lo-cal rivers has had an effect on other fi sh populations, according to Chris Paxton, regional fi sheries biologist for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

“Smaller fl atheads will go after crayfi sh, but as these fi sh get up to several pounds they become live fi sh eaters,” he said. “They will literally eat anything smaller than they are that happens to swim by them. Spe-cies like bullheads and river red-breast bream are two species that have certainly been impacted.”

Paxton said some anglers are hoping the FWC will come up with a “silver bullet” to reduce or eliminate flatheads. He said study projects in other states in the Southeast indicate once flatheads are found in a waterway, they are there to stay.

If there is a silver lining to the fl athead saga, Paxton said it’s that the fi sh is good to eat. He said most

anglers catch them using small live bream and fi sh when fl atheads are actively feeding around daybreak, late in the day or at night.

Some communities on the Apala-chicola River even have fi gured how to cash in on the fl athead expansion by holding fl athead fi shing tourna-ments, offering cash money and tro-phies to the top participants.

Just how big fl atheads will get in Florida waters is up for debate. In October 2011 Milton angler Eric Auston Jr. caught a 55.05 pound fi sh from the Yellow River and set a new Florida record in the process. In their native range they grow to more than 100 pounds. Fisheries biologists say they likely will reach similar weights here.

To start the weekend, off Kurt Busch won the Nationwide Se-ries Virginia 529 College Savings 250. His win also brought the first win for Kyle Busch Motor-sports. Kurt raced side by side with Richmond favorite Denny Hamlin the entire last lap of the race. But Kurt did what he does best and pulled out a win.

Here his how the Nation-wide race went down. The first caution came on lap 24 when a driver reported debris on turn 3. Lap 68 brought about caution No. 2 when J.J. Yeley blew a tire and hit the wall between turns three and four. Kurt Busch took the lead for the first time in lap 77 and held the lead until lap 80 when Kevin Harvick took it back. Jason Bowles spun out in lap 115 bringing out caution No. 3.

Drivers were reporting debris in turn two on lap 139, but officials said the track was clear. On lap 166, Kurt took the lead back from Harvick and kept it the rest of the race.

In Saturday night’s Sprint Cup Capital City 400 Kurt’s little

brother, Kyle, won. With a little bit of tur-moil in the air as

the

final laps were run, he stole the win from Dale Earnhardt Jr. This was Kyle’s fourth spring win at Richmond. He didn’t have the best car but it worked for him when it mattered. Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards left the track unhappy, Edwards because NASCAR black-flagged him say-ing he jumped the restart.

The Capital City 400 was plagued by car problems. With-in the first 47 laps, five drivers, Scott Speed, Mike Bliss, Joe Nemechek and David Gilliland, had to take their cars out of the race. On lap 32 Mark Martin, the top runner up until now, reported to his crew chief that his car was loose. NASCAR held a scheduled caution on lap 50, which put David Blaney on the lead lap.

On lap 57 Jeff Gordon got sideways and bumped Greg Bif-fle and Kurt Bush and messed up the right side of his car. Mi-chael McDowell takes his car to the garage on lap 70. Lap 116 brought caution No. 2 when Kurt Busch spun out in the front stretch. Joey Lagano was back on the lead lap after this

caution.Caution No. 3 was called for

debris, putting Biffle on the lead lap, and caution four came when Jeff Burton hit the wall causing debris on the track. Caution five on lap 386 was due to debris, and Edwards was back on the lead lap allowing him to pull off a 10th place finish.

BONIFAY — The Hol-mes County High School Drama Department will present the musical “Foot-loose” at 7 p.m. on May 10-12 and May 14-15 at the HCHS auditorium. The doors will open at 6 p.m.

The musical “Foot-loose” opened at Broad-way’s Richard Rodgers Theatre on Oct. 22, 1998, and ran for 709 perfor-mances until July 2, 2000. It was nominated for four Tony Awards.

One of the most explo-sive movie musicals in re-cent memory bursts onto the live stage with exhila-rating results. When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school.

What he isn’t prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, deter-mined to exercise the con-trol over the town’s youth that he cannot command in his own home. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager

to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.

To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nomi-nated top 40 score (the soundtrack album reached number one on the Bill-board charts and has sold over 15 million copies) and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage musical, “Footloose” cel-ebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.

The cast includes Jere-my Bailey, Heather Burlew, Carlton Hedman, Haleigh Music, Haylee Harris, Mi-kayla Moore, Sam Wells, Devin Miles, Kayln Har-din, Alex Langley, Chelsey Cullifer, Braeden Cooper, Holton Adams, Thomas Parrish, Lydia Sheesley, Nic Bell, Daniel Carnley, John David Brown, Ricky Ward, Lenibel Concepcion, Sarah Chandler, Claire Segers, Jessica Belser, Cassie Bell, Emily Ham-ilton, Hope Bailey, Alana Sheffield, Karah Eastridge and Kerri Bourg.

Tickets are $5 in ad-vanced and $7 at the door.

Washington Rehabilitation and Nursing Center celebrates

By Rev. James L Snyder

Through the years, I have discovered two important facets of husbandship that has stood me in good stead for many years: a vigorous nod of the head and a rhapsodic “Yes, dear.” Flowers don’t hurt either.

When our recent visit in Ohio concluded, we headed for the airport. I do not mind traveling, but my least favorite mode is the airplane. The reason being, of course, is the airport itself.

In my opinion, someone devised the modern airport to intimidate the average traveler. Arriving at the airport, we immediately headed for the ticket counter where we received our boarding passes. Then we surrendered our luggage to the personnel behind the counter, not knowing if we would ever see that same luggage again in our lifetime.

Someday I hope to visit all the places my luggage has seen.

Next, we made our way through the security booth.

As you know, they do not permit metal through this gate. If a passenger passes through and a buzzer goes off, he is summoned back for guards to examine his personal effects to detect the offensive object. I went

through about 17 times. Not until I got down to my underwear did the security personnel determine there must be a defect in the radar detection equipment. (I plan to fi le my briefs in a Florida court this week.)

Finally, we left the security area and I started feeling a little more confi dent until we came to a big sign over the entryway. My wife and I found little comfort in the words written: Terminal Entrance. Contrary to their “friendly” little sign, I did, in fact have plans of returning.

Our fl ight plan called for a two-hour stopover before arriving at our fi nal destination. Nothing quite compares to spending a free hour or two at an airport. Did I say “free?” Allow me to recount that opinion.

There is absolutely nothing free at an airport. I cannot prove it, but I am sure they have fi gured out a way to charge for the air we breathe.

For instance, a 15 cent

cup of coffee can cost in the neighborhood of $17.95. I don’t even like visiting that neighborhood. If I lived there, I would move.

However, being the good natured, charming individual that I am, it does not take much to make me happy. All I need to allay any stress is a simple cup of coffee. Have you ever noticed how things seem to go a lot easier with a steaming jolt of java?

With a full hour to spare at the airport, my wife and I looked for something to occupy our time. Then I espied the perfect diversion. With a mischievous twinkle in my left eye, I looked at my wife and said, “Let’s get a cup of coffee and relax a while.”

One thing I can always count on my wife, she knows a good thing when she hears it. Unfortunately, she does not hear it too often from my lips. Walking over to the coffee shop and, being the man, I approached the counter to place our order. “I would like two regular coffees,” I said with anticipation to the young woman behind the counter. The thing that makes a man a man is that he always knows what he wants. It is that confi dence that separates the men from the boys.

The young woman looked at me, snapped her chewing gum several times and said in a monotone, “Marvelous, you want espresso or cappuccino?”

“No, Miss,” I replied as cool and sophisticated as any gentleman you will ever meet. “No, Miss. We just want two plain coffees.”

She looked at me as only a waitress behind a counter can and rattled off names I have never heard before. As best I could

understand, they were fl avors or kinds of espresso coffee.

Finally, when she took a breath I jumped in and said with all the confi dence I could muster without compromising my good nature, “No, Miss. I don’t want any espresso, just a regular cup of coffee.”

“Exactly,” she said with a falsetto smile. “Most people enjoy our cappuccinos. What kind of cappuccino would you like.” Then she rattled off an endless list of cappuccino fl avors, most I had never heard of before.

About this time, the caffeine defi ciency began seeping into my attitude. I think that somewhere in our constitution is the right to order regular coffee at a price that does not compromise the mortgage on my home.

“Young lady,” I said as calmly as possible under the circumstances, “listen to me very carefully. I want coffee. Not espresso. Not cappuccino. Just two cups of plain, regular, good old American coffee.”

“Oh,” she said in a burst of enlightenment. “You want coffee. Why didn’t you say so in the fi rst place?”

There is no satisfaction more fulfi lling than fi nally getting through and arriving at a common understanding.

“Now,” she said in a confi dential tone, “what fl avor coffee do you want? Columbian, French Vanilla, Cinnamon, Chocolate Mint, Swiss Mocha . . .”

There is only one place I know where I can get exactly what I need. Jesus put it this way; “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorifi ed in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it” (John 14:13-14 KJV).

If you need anything from the Lord, just ask.

Wanting More Than Your Fair Share

The Greek word “pleonexia” means greed or cov-etousness. And, the acts of greed and covetousness are found frequently in the New Testament. Plato and Aristotle used the word to mean wanting more than your fair share, and Aristotle suggested that all injustice is a form of pleonexia. In Plato’s Republic, one of the dialogue’s participants, Thrasymachus, says that pleonexia is the natural state of man, and this fits with Thrasymachus’ view that “might makes right.” Re-cently, some have suggested that the economic and social woes seen around the world can be traced to people, and nations, wanting more than their fair share. Both individuals and groups can be guilty of wanting too much. Wanting to live in a house that is bigger than you can afford is wanting too much, but so is thinking that everyone in your country should be able to retire at the age of 50 or 55 with full benefits. The debate over taxation really boils down to what is the fair share that everybody should pay. Knowing exactly what your fair share is can be difficult, but we would all be better off if we more readily gave and expected little in return.

“Take heed, and beware of all covetousness;for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” Luke 12: 15
