Joint operation leads to arrests Jackson County Drug Task Force served a search warrant June 13 on a residence located just south of Graceville at 4081 Highway 77. It was the result of a joint investigation between the Jackson County unit and Chipley Police Department and regarded the sale of illegal substances such as cocaine and crack co- caine from the residence. "During the search, investiga- tors recovered a quantity of crack cocaine, cocaine, marijuana and Xanax," reports Chipley Police Chief Kevin Crews. "Investiga- tors also recovered a quantity of cash and two handguns." Task Force investigators ar- rested Wilton Archer, aka A.T.L., and Mallory Wooten. Archer was charged with possession of crack, cocaine and marijuana with intent to distribute. Wooten was charged with possession of marijuana, less than 20 grams. Also arrested at the scene was Jeffrey Rogers, who investiga- tors.charged with one count of possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license Man killed in fall from tower On June 25 at approximately 10:20 a.m. the Holmes County Sheriff's Department received a 911 call from workers at the WTVY communications tower. The caller advised that a subject had fallen while performing work at the tower and was un- conscious. Sheriff's Department, EMS and Fire Department personnel were dispatched to the tower site, where the fall victim was pronounced dead on scene. The victim has been identi- fied as David B. 'Brown Jr.,30. of Evansville, Ind. He had been working with other crewmem- bers at the site. The workers were in the pro- cess of removing equipment from the tower to be placed on a newly erected tower located nearby. At this time it appears that the victim fell from approximately 500 feet to the ground. Brown has been transported to the Medical Examiner's Office in Panama City for autopsy. The investigation is ongoing with investigators from the Holmes County Sheriff's Department, OSHA. and the 14th Judicial Circuit Medical Examiner's Of- fice involved in the case.

The findings: A clean bill of health for the deal. The grand jury delivered the presentment before Circuit Judge Allen Register Monday, June 26 at the Washington County Court- house. Larry Grantham served as jury foreman. According to the present- ment, the grand jury conducted an extensive investigation into the selection process in 2003 by the Washington County Board of County Commissioners that resulted in leasing NFCH to Northwest Florida Healthcare, Inc. (NFHI) .The investigation involved the activities and d'd cisions of elected officials of Washington County, hospital administrators and appointed members of the hospital Board of Trustees. Findings were based on tes- timony of witnesses, review of documents and records:. The grand jury made the following findings: *The hospital was built in 1977. *On January 28, 1999 the Board of Trustees contracted with Sacred Heart Health Sys- tems to manage NFCH for five years.

More coverage. Extra section. a Apartment 50 at 1311 Plum Circle in Chipley, was seriously damaged by fire at 2:32 p.m. during a lightning, thunder and rainstorm Saturday during the Watermelon Festival. The fire marshal determined it was a lightning strike that started this fire. A neighbor first noticed the apartment was on fire and contacted Chipley Volunteer Fire Department. The fire department arrived in about five minutes right behind Chipley Police Department. The fire appears to have started near the rear of the apartment where a laundry room adjoins the building. The lightening strike caused about a three-foot in diameter hole in the roof at that location. The fire department brought the fire under control very quickly. There was a considerable amount of water and smoke damage to this apartment. The apartment was rented, however, the occupant was away at the time of the fire.

JAY FELSBERG Managing Editor Vernon City Council voted unanimously Monday night to send the case of Mayor James Boswell to the governor's office for investigation. The decision was made at the regular Coun. cil meeting at City Hall. Council Vice Chairwoman Narvel Arm- strong voted against the action. with Council Chairman John P Cook, Jr., and Councilwomen Vivian Brewer and Cheryl With. row\ voting in favor. The move came after Council voted earlier to strip the mayor of any duties other than those ex- pressly assigned under the City charter. Reports that the mayor turned all of his duties over to Cook were incoIfect according to Boswell. "I can't turn certain items over," he said. At issue is the mayor hiring a part-time employee for $1.50 an hour more than was approved by Council at the May 22 meeting. Also at issue is the mayor not providing applications by candi- dates for the position for Council to review and his removing the item from the agenda on May 22. Impeachment proceedings were discussed at a special meeting last week. That employee is still working at $9.50 an hour. Cook said that based on infor- mation from City Clerk Sherry Cobb, there would not be money in the City budget to hire an in- dependent litigator as discussed at the special meeting. He said he therefore supported turning the matter o% er to the governor's general counsel. City Attorney KerrN Adkison will draw up the charges and make contact with the governor's office. Adkison repeated % hat he said at the earlier meeting about there being no guarantee that the governor would act on the issue. Boswell would remain ma.or until the impeachment and pos sible removal process is o\er. In other business.

It happened at 9 a.m. on Highway 77 about three miles south of Graceville. The Florida Highway Patrol says 58-year-old Martha Carole Hawk was heading north, when her car drifted across the center line. It ran up under the rear wheels of the southbound big-rig, killing Hawk at the scene. The truck driver, 30-year-old Robert Wayne Watson of Panama City, received minor injuries. Troopers have not filed any charges. It is the sixth traffic fatality in this area in the past four days according to Channel 7 news. HOSPITAL Continued from page 1A and agreed to improve the quality of medical services. The emergency room was improved, state-of-the-art equipment purchased, new physicians recruited and a health and wellness center built. *By 2002, however, NFCH reported a monthly loss of $113,279. Losses for the year were $1.36 million. Losses were worse in 2003. By the end of 2002 cash reserves were less than $300,000. *The Board of Trustees was told that the hospital would close within months without alternative sources of funding. Commissioners were unwilling to raise tax- es, and had invested only $100,000 in the hospital ,' during its 26-year history. However, commissioners wanted to provide good : health care to residents without losing control of the hospital. r Commissioners ap- proved negotiating with " Sacred Heart to sell the * hospital on April 8, 2003 S by a vote of 3-2. Sacred Heart withdrew its pro- posal on September 10, 2003 after determining the hospital needed about $10 million in renovations. *Three companies made presentation to the com- missioners- on *Novem- ber 3, 2003.

He reported That the department has answered 70 calls (and ;: a wide variety of them) . since October 1, 2005. SThe department has 17 members, including three on probation. The Vernon fire district is 99 square - miles. The department has one business meeting and one training meeting every an option to purchase the hospital for the amount of NFCH's long-term debt. Resurgence Health Group proposed leasing NFCH for at least 20 years with an option to purchase for fair market value. NFHI proposed a 40-year lease. that could be terminated by either party for cause. The NFHI proposal required the hospital board to loan $3.2 million specifically for capital improvements and recruiting new physi- cians. There was no option to purchase. *The majority of com- missioners had serious reservations about Black- hawk's financial stability, and with Resurgence's his- tory of buying and selling hospitals. *The majority of com- missioners were impressed with the "experience and familiarity" of NFHI CEO Pat Schlenker, who was administrator at the time (as well as his popular- ity with employees). An agreement was reached with NFHI that ensured that neither the hospital nor any of its beds would be moved to another coun- ty. The proposal included provisions to protect em- ployees' retirement plans and benefits. *On November 3, 2003 the commissioners voted 3- 2 (Commissioners Charles Brock, 'Johh-"A all and., Lynn Co-pe v fing'yes and Ronnie Finch and Lenzy Corbin voting no) to en- ter into negotiations with month. *Approved having the fire department submit an inventory report by end of the fiscal year on Septem- ber 30. Firefighters reported that Austin kept all of that on a computer with its own password, and it might take some time to recover the inventory. Apparently a "hard copy" was not kept. A citizen took issue with ,the inventory, saying that the fire department was be- ing singled out while other departments were not be- ing required to do a similar inventory. There was also question of whether the volunteers would have time to do an inventory. *Discussed the grease trap ordinance. Two res- taurants complied with the ordinance prior to the June 15 deadline.

The commissioners voted 3-2 on December 18 to borrow the $3.2 million, and voted 3-2 on December 30 to approve the lease of NFCH to NFHI. The loan actually turned out to be for $2.9 million, and NFHI was required to match the loan by providing $2.9 million in improvements with its own funds. *NFHI has administered the hospital since March 2004. It has assumed li- ability for repayment of the loan and has properly accounted for expenditure of the loan proceeds to the Board of County Commis- sioners. *The grand jury found that the commissioners acted within their discre- tion and authority accord- ing to Florida law. Review of the minutes of the Board of County Commissioners found that the lease pro- posal was debated at sev- eral public meetings. *The grand jury found no evidence of wrongdoing or impropriety on the part of any commissioner. The grand jury found that the commissioners voted to ap- prove the NFCH proposal because they genuinely be- lieved it was the best way to provide the county with quality health care without increasing taxes. *NFCH has over 230 em- ployees. There are 10 phy- sicidns on staff, and eight, are board certified. Expen- ditures include $1.42 mil- lion to renovate the emer- gency room, $478,000 to establishments are in com- pliance with the grease trap ordinance. A follow-up let- ter will be sent to the eight businesses affected that are not yet in compliance. There appeared to be confusion about which ordinance was published. Adkison said that the ordi- nance he drew up had pen- alties for failure to comply. but he said he was not sure which version was pub- lished. A new version with the penalty of having water and sewer service halted until a business complies will have its first reading at the July 10 Council meet- ing.

The hospital has provided over $1 mil- lion in indigent care since 2004, and paid $200,000 in property taxes to Washing- ton County in 2005. *Vendors 'are paid on a. timely basis and all neces- sary licenses and permits are current. Expenditures have been independently verified and required quar- terly reports have been properly submitted to the' commissioners. *"We find that NFHI has increased patient services, and made major renova- tions and improvements, all without additional financial burden to Wash-' ington County. The hos- pital continues to provide quality health care for our community." *"In summary, it is the conclusion of this grand jury, that the Washington County Board of County Commissioners acted law- fully and 'in the best inter- est of Washington County by authorizing the loan of $2.9 million to the hospital and the subsequent lease of the hospital to Northwest Florida Healthcare, Inc. "Our investigation failed to reveal evidence that any commissioner received compensation or any other benefit from a vote for or* against the lease of the "hospital- to NFHI?

"Decisions involving health care are too impor- tant to become political footballs, like these did. We feel the division in our community concerning this issue resulted from a lack of understanding of the facts concerning this hospital and this lease agreement. "Our hospital provides quality health care for our residents without impos- ing any new tax burden on :our community. We feel it is time for the division in our community, over these issues, to end and for the citizens of Washington County to support the hos- pital, its employees and its administrators." Statement from NFCH CEO Pat Schlenker We at NFCH are obvi- ously very pleased with the favorable outcome of the Grand Jury investigation into the County Commis- sion's 2003 decisions to lease the hospital to North- west Florida Healthcare, Inc. and to loan the hospi- tal $2.9M for renovations, repairs :and physician recruitment.

I could not agree more with the Grand Jury's summary that states,. "de- cisions concerning health. care are too important to become political footballs like these did." Quality Healthcare is one of the most important aspects of a community's infrastructure. Anything that adversely impacts healthcare today will negatively impact the future health and growth oj the community. Now that a final deci. sion has been made that no wrong doing or impropri. ety was found we at NFCH are going to continue to do what we have been doing for the past two years and that is to strive each day to meet our mission which is to provide safe, compas. sionate and accessible healthcare to the citizens of Washington County.

Foxworth, who told the Board that he regularly fishes for catfish with his grandson at night. "You can't catch catfish during the day," he said. Foxworth said he has camped at a county boat land- ing for about 10 years. "What good are parks if you can't use them?" he asked. Foxworth noted that parks were obtained and maintained with tax money, and that "you should be able to use them with a permit." He also noted that there was little for a family to do in the county. "There's no place left in Washington County to go. Where can a person carry his family for an outing 'over- night?" In response, Board Chair- man Jerry Sapp charged the Parks and Recreation Commit- tee to identify where camping can be done in county parks, and decide what amenities and signage are needed. The com- mittee would develop a budget and meet with the Sheriff's Of- fice to get their input. A draft report would be presented to the Board, and advertisement would be placed in the paper when necessary about the or- dinance, public hearings and other matters. The Parks arid Recreation Committee would also gather feedback from citi- zens. The Board approved this: i prop lshl." ,' ". " In other business, the Board: *Approved drafting a 'mother-in-law" ordinance allowing for reduction of as- sessments of attached living quarters provided for parents or grandparents. The proposed ordinance would be drafted with the help of Property Ap- praiser Gil Carter and would be advertised. As- part of the it ordinance individual hom- eowners must apply for the reduced assessment. It would not be automatically granted. *Heard a report from Grants Writer Stacy Webb and EOC Director Roger Dale Hagans that about $50 million in state funds are available for new emergency operations centers (EOC). A local match would be required. There is a compet- itive application process and applications are due August 15 and funding can be for either renovation of an existing facil- ity or new construction. The Board approved moving ahead with an application. -Heard a report from Hagans that the new fifth-grade wing at Roulhac Middle School is designed as a special needs shelter (PSN), replacing an- other facility that the state no longer recognizes. Hagans also reported that 50 percent of the buildings at new Ver- non High School would serve as an emergency shelter. "For another $65,000, 100 percent of the school could have been available," Hagans said. The VHS buildings are EHPA and Miami-Dade approved. *Approved paying $73,500 for a road "profiler" at the request of the Community Traffic Safety Team out of the contingency fund. The profiler would be used to rate the qual- ity of paved roads before they are submitted for repaving funding. The state Depart- ment of Transportation uses the same machine, and county operators will be certified by DOT. The machine could also be rented out to other counties and municipalities. *Heard Webb. express concern that changes to the shuffleboard court in Wilder Park in Sunny Hills could make it more difficult to obtain park improvement funds. The plans call for alleys between the courts as called for in sev- eral sets of shuffleboard rules. Webb said the project would be audited to see how it com- plies with the plans. Plans call for the court area to be covered with a pavilion-type structure. Webb was joined by Sunny Hills resident Sal Zurica, who brought a petition with 52 names of residents wanting shuffleboard back in Sunny Hills. Zurica also said that it would be possible to join vari- oas shuffleboard organizations ' if the courts were regulation. The Board approved getting more information on the sub- ject. A park must have 85 per- cent of what is called for in its plans to receive final approval for funding.. Both Corbin and Commis- sioner Ronnie Finch (who rep- resents Sunny Hills) comment- ed on the issue. "I have built 20 of these parks and I never came across this," Corbin said. "We don't need all this trouble building a park." Finch, who along with Corbin is directing the Wilder Park project, said NOTICE OF CHANGE IN REGULATION AFFECTING THE USE OF LAND Washington County is considering changing the use of land within the area shown within the map in this advertisement.

The McKenna family was involved in obtain- ing the land for the center. The metal building is fabricated and requires a concrete pad and other work, which should begin by October. The center would have space for County offices, and additional funding would be needed to finish in- terior and exterior wor k. There is $100,000 set aside for the- project. *Discussed a plan for emer- gency housing. Hagans said that about $8,000 is budgeted for professional services, and West Florida Regional Plan- ning Commission would do the study for $5,400. The plan would be for temporary hous- ing for FEMA staff in case of a major disaster, with the US Army Corps of Engineers pro- viding utilities. There needs to be room for about 100 FEMA vehicles, including RVs. One site discussed is the 11-acre lake tract on Campbellton Highway. *Discussed putting a public works building at the Camp- bellton Highway location.

Road report County Engineer Cliff Knauer of Preble-Rish gave a report on several road projects and funding options: *Road base material is ready for Leisure Lakes Road. Most of the drainage is done and contractors are setting finished grades. They are waiting on more right of way from the water management district to straighten out the road. With asphalt at about $100 a ton funding is getting tight, and better prices are being sought. *Florida Forever grants: de- sign work would be started for Rolling Pines Road this week. Florida Forever applications are due by September 25, and about $20 million is available. Counties of Critical Economic Concern like Washington County get addition points for their applications. *Orange Hill Highway: City manhole work should be done in about two weeks. The contractor is mixjrg road base. for the next few weeks, which would eliminate the need for lime rock and save money. *Orange Hill Soil Water Conservation District has a USDA grant for stabilizing stream crossings.

One was the distribution of The Wash- ington County Heritage Book, which has been more than three years in the making, and the 50th An- nual Watermelon Festival, which had its beginning in 1956. Since I can't write in full about both of them in one column, I will first approach the Watermelon Festival event and hope to elaborate on the arrival of the long-awaited Heritage Book next week.. The highly successful Watermelon Festival was chaired this year by Judge Colby Peel, his first since taking the reins in August of last year. That is the date I officially retired as chair- man after serving 30 long years at the helm. As our long weekend of activity concluded on Saturday afternoon around 4 p.m., it was my privilege to tell the new chairman, in the presence of his sister, Courtney, that I was totally pleased with his handling of the long-established watermelon extravaganza which has come to be a celebration of the highest order for our county. From start to finish, Col- by Peel was on "top" of the event from securing top entertainment to the fine details of the many, many other supporting activities which must be carried out in order for a successful festival to be realized. I salute all of the committee heads and support groups who performed beautifully this year in seeing that our county and our town met the challenge in carrying on the tradition of enter- taining the thousands who cgme to our faircitvTfr the' watermelon festival.. I will now admit that our grandchildren who live in the area, Dan and Deanna, the children of Gordon and Donna; Laura, Julie and Perry II, whose par- ents are Tim and Debbie; and Courtney, daughter of Emory, couldn't believe that granddaddy would no longer be chairman of the important watermelon fes- tival! Our Texas grandchil- dren, Mac and Virginia, the SPerry's Prattle S....By Perry Wells Judge Colby Peel, chairman, being driven in the pa- rade in a beautifully decorated Dodge 4-door pickup truck. son and daughter of Grant and Lynn, haven't had the privilege of growing up in this area and attending watermelon festivals. The new chairman was wise enough to allow "the old man" to keep his fin- gers in the pie and not be completely cut off from all: participation. In g i ing the. former chairman a piece of the action this year. Judge Peel possibly avoided see- ing the old seasoned leader go into withdrawal symp- toms! Maybe this appeased our grandchildren, as well as doing something for the ego of the man who could have had some difficulty in totally and abruptly sever- ing all involvement in an activity that has become an institution in our county. I will further admit that it seemed good not to make the: runs to Dothan and Panama City for the annual TV appearanrces.which. are, so necessary to' properly promote our annual event. It also felt great to know I did not have to prepare the advertising. brochure, obtain the VIP sponsors and follow through with the printing of this most important advertising tool of our event. I did get to help distribute the color- ful flyer and that kept me in touch with the business and professional people in the area who have cooper- ated so wonderfully in see- ing that the flyer gets into the hands of people. In my last years :as chairman, I seemed to find myself becoming more involved in getting melons entered for the big melon contest, soliciting bidders to buy the melons and ob- taining melons for cutting and serving to our visitors. I felt much relief in that area of planning. However, that too, was carried out beauti- fully with our agriculture agent. Andy Andreasen's, able assistance. The water- melon auction. conducted by David Corbin, was one of our best ever. David can ,get the top money and en- tertain at the same time. Overall, the watermelon festival this year % as a tremendous success in ev- ery respect. Many. many favorable comments were expressed to me by out-of- town people, as'welYl's our own townsfolk. about the positive image this event brings to our area each year. Maybe I'll get to the Heritage Book project next week. Most of the pre-sold books have been delivered to the purchasers. A few books are available for sale at the library for $64.20. The '"prattler" has the "proverbial limited supply" in his possession which are for sale should my home be more conve- nient to you. The purchase price is the same $64.20. The books are "classics." You don't want to miss out on getting your copy. I'll see you next week with something. It may be more on the watermelon festival or further comments on the Heritage Book.

June 23, the Jackson County Drug Task Force received information that Troy Ray Brock, a fu- gitive from justice, and on the run for approximately nine years, was hiding out in a mobile home at 1657 Shiloh Church Loop near Graceville. He was origi- nally placed on probation for the sale, manufacture, and delivery of marijuana. Along with Jackson County Drug Task Force, the Holmes County Sheriff's Office, Jackson Correctional Institution K- 9 tracking team and task force members took part in the planning and execu- tion of the arrest plan. The sheriff's office helicopter was utilized to provide sur- veillance and prevent the escape of the fugitive. Deputies conducted a consensual search of the residence. During the search, they located two trap doors that led to the underside of the mobile home. Lying just inside one of the trap doors was a 12-gauge pump shotgun. After carefully searching the underside of the mo- bile home, they discovered Brock hiding between the floor and the insulation sheathing that covered the underside of the the resi- dence.

Unfortunately, .we don't always eat .\velk. Ad 4to that tie possible hafrmiful" effects of stress, aging, lack of exercise, pollu- tion, and illness, and sup- plements become even more important. That's why so many experts now recommend that ev-t eryone take a daily mul- tivitamin. Choosing the right vitamin for you can become confusing. There is now what's called the. daily value (DV) a new government standard that generally corresponds to the RDA. The DV satisfies minimum daily require- ments and helps prevent a deficiency disease, such as scurvy (lack of vita- min C). The higher levels of vitamins and minerals found in many multivita- mins may actually help prevent disease, delay its onset, or lessen the sever- ity of certain ailments. Good Reason to Take an extra-strength Formula If you eat an optimal diet of low-fat foods, at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily, and chicken, lean meat, or fish several times a week, you can probably get away, with a once-daily formu- la. But even those who consume a fairly well- rounded diet and yield to junk-food lapses only" occasionally can benefit! from an extra-strength formula. If your idea of lunch is a slice of pizza, and a diet soda, look for a more complete and higher, level multivitamin or con- sult with a chiropractor or other nutritional expert.

The chief said it also is illegal to sell such fireworks in the state' of Florida. Chipley Police Depart- ment will strictly enforce the laws that govern the use of illegal fireworks this Fourth of July.

DONNA DYKES Staff writer Nancy Low was one of eight candidates for the title of Nursing Assistant of the Year at Northwest Florida Community Hos- pital (NFCH) in Chipley. She is a Patient Care Technician (PCT) on the hospital's second floor. When she learned Thurs- day afternoon that she had won the title, Nancy was shocked. "When I got into this field, it was to help as much as I can," she ex- plained. Since she was nomi- nated by several different departments at the hospital, she seems to have accom- plished that goal. Low received a plaque, a navy blue T-shirt with the hospital's logo, a bou- quet of flowers and a gift certificate. Nursing Assistant's Week is observed annu- ally from June 15-22. It was founded by the Career Nurse Assistants programs in 1977. Diana Finch, who coordinated Thursday's program honoring the nominees, said the week honors "individuals who bring strength, humor, compassion, dedication, warmth, wisdom, patience and a general attitude of caring, and other essential qualities that add a human element, to the tasks of nursing. "In the long-term-care setting, nursing assistants provide up to 80 percent of the direct care residents receive," she added. A party for all nursing assistants was held Thurs- day afternoon in the hospi- tal cafeteria. Colorful flowers tied | ith gold ribbon were given to each of the eight candidates as their names were announced. NFCH's 2006 Nursing Assistant of the Year is Nancy Low. The other candidates are Gloria Brown, Barbara Parrish, Mary Bascom, Lisa Corbin, Jason Smith, Wyona Jones and Chelsea Richard. They were honored with a party June 22 in the hospital cafeteria. The other honorees are CNA's Gloria Brown, Bar- bara Parrish, Mary Bascom, Lisa Corbin, Jason Smith, Wyona Jones and office assistantChelsea Richard. They also received certifi- cates and a special T-shirt. After the candidates had been introduced, re- freshments of sheet cake decorated with the hospital logo, was served with ice cream, cookies and punch. Pizza was provided for each shift on the SNU. Certificates for individ- ual pan pizzas were also given to all the nursing assistants. "We greatly appreciate the hard work and support our nursing assistants pro- vide," said hospital CEO Patrick A. Schlenker. "This is a great honor," Low exclaimed.

The decision was made after a public hearing Monday night. Plans include having an architect or an engineer look the old building over apfd, help determine if the project is financially fea- sible. i '"'A large crowd was in at- tendance, with the majority of those present (by about a 2-1 majority) in favor of tie ,idea by show of hands. These present -were able to'- express their opinion on'the subject as part of a public hearing. The City has to relo- cate City Hall due to the planned four-laning of Hwy. 79 through down- town Vernon. Discussion ihas recently focused on possibly using at least part of the old school versus building an entirely new City Hall up County Road 277 next to the fire station. Funding for purchase of the, existing City Hall and relocation are available. ,Several Council mem- bers and others toured the old, high school in down- town Vernon on June 12 accompanied by school district officials. The 1920s-era high school is being vacated for a new facility next to Vernon Middle School. ,According to what was learned on that tour, the od high school had a ma- jor renovation in the early 1980s and had its plumb- iing and electrical systems overhauled about eight years ago. The building meets as- bestos codes and has an an- nual inspection by the fire marshal (results are pend- ing for this year). There are individual breakers and several separate meters for water, sewer and elec- trical. Each classroom is networked for computers, although it is not known how much of that equip- ment would be transferred to the new high school. Council expressed an interest in the main admin- istration section with the school offices, the media center (with a capacity of about 200 people), the area of the old track and pos- sibly the former softball field to use for recreation programs. The school district ap- * parently plans to keep the gym and lunchroom for possible use in case of disaster. These facilities would be used to house evacuees in the aftermath of a natural disaster. The alternative is to build a completely, new City Hall next to the fire station on County Road 277 north of town. The City has received $125,000, which was used in part to purchase that property, and approved accepting a total of $631,840 from the state Department of Trans- portation for purchase of the present City Hall and relocation of City Hall at Monday's meeting. Mayor James Boswell's role in ratcheting up fund- ing from the original offer of $125,000 was noted at the meeting. A DOT official recently presented that offer to Council and noted that DOT is trying to get title to land needed for Hwy. 79 work as soon as possible. Several people said they preferred a new City Hall. Former Councilman Oscar Ward said that a new facil- ity with a drive-up window and on level ground was "vital for old people" to provide better access to pay bills. "A brand-new build- ing would let the town go forward," Ward said. "We can have a very nice build- ing with a drive-through. I don't even understand why you would want to have something to do with such an old building." Proponents of the move to old VHS, including Council Chairman John P. Cook Jr., said the old school met the standards of the Americans With Dis- abilities Act (ADA) and could be modified to allow for drive-up bill paying. Another citizen said that, "If the City Hall goes up there (277) land will go sky-high. She said that the old school was a histori- cal building, and that new construction or renovation would still have to meet ADA codes. "We can make it ADA," said one citizen. "We can do anything we want." Concerns were also noted about asbestos in the old school. Councilwoman Cheryl Withrow responded by saying that the old school meets federal stan- dards "or our kids wouldn't be there otherwise." Boswell expressed his opposition to using the old school for a City Hall. Noting that the school was built in the 1920s, Boswell also said that the city would never own the building but only lease it. "You can't control what goes on," Boswell said. "You don't know what goes on around you." He said that asbestos "never goes away," and urged building a new building on level ground that was "fire rated and wind loaded." Charles Withrow said he and his wife, Council- woman Withrow, recently toured a building of similar vintage (1927), old Ge-', neva County High School in Hartford.

Lic. #RC0066834 citizens led by then-mayor Gene Brannon led the renovation of the building to where it now houses the city library, city court and council chambers, and a wide variety of non-profit organizations and a city museum. A colorful mu- ral inside the lobby tells the history of Hartford. Charles Withrow said it was an example of what could be done with old VHS. "It's pristine, it's some- thing to be proud of," he said. Another person said that the federal government removed; the asbestos in old VHS:, the flooring is fine, arid that "everything is in order except one bath- - room." Charles Withrow | (who also toured old VHS) said the flooring and joists were in good shape. One older woman said that much of the argument appeared to be personal in nature. "We need to claim and keep part of our heri- tage." she said. "Let our board members do their jobs and have faith in it." Another person agreed that the City needed to keep part of Vernon's heri- tage. She also said she be- lieved the old school is safe to occupy. "Our chil- dren just finished a year of high school," she said. "Is that not safe?" Council voted during the regular meeting that followed to look into the project if it is financially feasible. j EDITOR'S; NOTE: This reporter was editor of the Hartford News-Herald when the GCHS renova- tion project was underway.

Washington County News/ Holmes County Times-Advertiser Wednesday, June 28, 2006 .. ... .. . iJ^ ^1 :1?i Sports Beat JEREMY RAINES Sports Editor Baseball and softball are making waves in the area. Once again the area all- star teams are making their presence felt in district tournaments. Teams from Chipley, Bonifay, Graceville, Ver- non and Ponce de Leon all recently participated in district tournaments rang- ing from ages 7 to 14. Bonifay and Graceville both advanced from the 7-8 year old all-star tournament held in Bonifay. Both teams will play in Callaway. Chipley's 14-year-old, all-stars advanced to Se- bring for their state tourna- ment. Softball teams are currently competing in Chipley for their chance to advance. For several year's there had been at least one team from this area advance deep in the state tournament and a few have advanced to the national tournaments. One of the biggest rea- sons for the continued advancement of the area teams is the children play longer schedules, and many participate in tournaments held throughout the year outside of league play. Many people ques- tion whether the longer schedules or extra play is too much for the kids to handle. But for many years this area could not compete with teams from the south- *'-"^ern part of the "state that' play year round. Children are resilient and can handle the load if they have the proper coaching and are encouraged in the appropriate manner. Both softball and base- ball have become some of the more dominant sports at the high school levels in the area and have nearly replaced football as the athletes' favorite sports to participate in. I recently asked one area athlete his reason for choos- ing baseball over football: "I can play baseball all year long and my body doesn't have the wear and tear of football." One of the biggest com- plaint from area football coaches is the lack of turn- out and the athletes' lack of interest. I am beginning to think it's not a lack of interest, just the realization that you have to choose a sport and devote all your time to it to compete with the rest of the state. The Dixie Boys 14-year-old All-Star team from Chipley won the district championship Saturday night defeating Bonifay 5-2.

DEP expands wetland protection The 2006 5k Hot Trot run held in conjunction with the annual Watermelon Festival in Chipley had a large number of runners in this year's event. Mathew Dobson and Lauren Eschback took top honors in their divisions. State sells record number of alligator permits in four hours In less than four hours, all 4,406 of the state's al- ligator harvest permits were issued to 2,155 hunters wanting to expe- rience the thrill of alliga- tor hunting. Despite a computer glitch that blocked per- mit sales for about an hour, permits sold out between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. June 15. This marks one of the few times hunters have gobbled up all available permits since the Florida Fish and Wildlife Con- servation Commission (FWC) began offering statewide alligator hunts in 1988. The FWC issues per- mits on a first-come, first- served basis. Last year, the FWC is- sued only about 2,800 of the 4,300 available per- mits because of a short- age of applicants. At its February meet- ing, the FWC decided to give hunters more flexibility in scheduling their hunts, and it voted to extend the length of the alligator hunting season. Also, unlike alligator hunts in previous years when hunters could pur- chase only one permit, the FWC offered 2006 hunters the option of buying multiple permits. These strategies worked. This year's season will include 41 additional hunt days and will run Aug. 15 through Nov. 1. For more information on alligator hunting, visit MyFWC com/gators and click on "Statewide Hunts." Governor Jeb Bush today joined Florida Department of Environ- mental Protection (DEP) Secretary Colleen. M Castille to mark expanded protection for panhandle wetlands. The Governor signed House Bill 7163 into law last week, creat- ing an Environmental Re- source Permitting (ERP) program in Northwest Florida for the first time, but highlighted the impor- tance of stronger wetland protection rules today at a ceremonial bill signing event. The program, which will be implemented by the Department of En- vironmental Protection (DEP) and Northwest Florida Water Manage- ment District, expands protection for wetlands, waterways and wildlife habitat across the Pan- handle while allowing the .regional economy to grow. "This is an historic mo- ment for both the people and the environment of Northwest Florida," said DEP Secretary Colleen M. Castille. "Including the region in the statewide program will preserve Troy plans The annual Bobby Pierce Troy University Baseball Camp swings into action Wednesday, July 12 in Dothan. Boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 13 (grades 1-8) are invited to participate in the camp, which will be held at the Dixie Youth Complex at Westgate Park. During the one-day camp, Troy University Head Baseball Coach wetlands, improve storm- water management and flood control and better protect some of the most pristine rivers, estuaries and streams in the state." In effect throughout the rest of the state for the last decade, the ERP pro- gram addresses activities such as the dredging of navigation channels, fill- ing wetlands, urban and residential development, highway construction and installation of docks and seawalls. The program manages stormwater discharges, reduces or prevents off- site flooding, oversees construction activities af- fecting wetlands and oth- er surface waters, includ- ing isolated wetlands, and conserves and enhances productive wetland habi- tat through mitigation. The first phase of the program will update stormwater rules and practices in 2007 to pro- tect water quality and reduce flooding. Phase Two, to be implemented after Janu- ary 1, 2008, will improve protection for wetlands connected to other sur- face waters and isolated wetlands not previously protected in Northwest Florida by state law. Over the past five years, the DEP and the state's Water Management Dis- tricts have successfully managed the creation of 15,000 acres of new wet- lands through mitigation. More than 111,000 acres of wetlands were pre- served and 35,000 acres were enhanced through the state's ERP program. In addition to Florida's environmental permitting programs, the State is conserving wetlands and wildlife habitat by ac- quiring environmentally sensitive land. Since 1999, more than 1.2 million acres of natural land -- includ- ing 191,000 acres in the Panhandle -- have been placed in public owner- ship through Florida Forever and its predeces- sor program, Preserva- tion 2000. Established by Governor Bush and the Florida Legislature, the 10-year, $3 billion Florida Forever program is the largest land buying initiative in the nation.
