Staff Report

BONIFAY - Each one of the nearly 150 "wishes" on the Bonifay Nursing and Rehabilitation Center "Angel Tree" have been granted.

Activities Director Kenya Guster states the 100 per-cent success rate is the result of an "invested and caring community" who rallied for the center's 140 residents.

"Almost as soon as the [Times-Advertiser] posted the story about our resi-dents' unfulfilled wishes, support began to pour in," said Guster. "From area businesses to private resi-dents," the community really stepped up for the residents of BNRC.

I also appreciate the staff, family, and volunteers who helped with our holiday dinner on Dec. 14."

Usually residents request essential items on wish lists, such as bodywash and shav-ing sets, house shoes and undershirts, and snacks.

BONIFAY – Holmes County Board of County Commissioners gave the go ahead to purchase land for a future county annex.

A visionary committee was put together in January to look for properties for the project. Committer member Mike Alvis brought the property before the board when they met in regular session December 12.

The 58 acres tract of land sits at the corner of Deacon Road and County Road 173. The purchase price of the land with the timber still in place is $259,000. The county is expected to use a combination of funding sources to purchase the property. $223,000 would come from funds set aside from the sale of the old fairgrounds, and the remaining $36,275 from contingency funds.

County Attorney Brandon Young was tasked with updating the job description for the County Coordinator position that was recently vacated by Wesley Adams.

Young is expected to bring the pro-posed description to the January 8 meeting where commissioners will vote on it. Once approved, advertising for the position will begin. County FEMA coordinator Joey Marsh will help fill the jobs duties in the interim.

A new heating/cooling unit for the Coun-cil on Aging was approved for purchase. The $6,000 cost will be split between COA cov-ering $2,000 and the county covering the remaining $4,000 out of contingency funds.

In other items, the board accepted the resignation of Emergency Management Pro-gram Assistant Stephanie Worley. Worley’s last day will be January 4. Holmes County Board of County Commissioners will meet again in special session at 8 a.m. on January 9.

agency to join the inves-tigation after the agency located a 1996 Lincoln Towncar with a vinyl top reported stolen around 10 a.m. Monday, about a mile from the jail.

"On December 19, at approximately 8 a.m., it was confirmed that the vehicle reported stolen in our county was located in Haywood County North Carolina," said Sheriff Kevin Crews.

Crews goes on to say that Haywood County Sheriff’s Office reports a vehicle was stolen in their county "within proximity to where the Washington County vehicle was located."

The two inmates - Ronly Diza Pado, 27, and David Allan Anderson, 39, became the focus of a man-hunt across the southern U.S., after escaping the Washington County Jail late Sunday night. Sheriff Crews reports the inmates escaped by chipping away at a wall in their cell to gain access to an adjoining room that led outside to the jail yard.

According to a news release, multiple agencies are involved in the search for Pado, charged with stabbing to death another inmate in June, and Ander-son, awaiting trial on a litany of charges follow-ing a high-speed chase earlier this year and who was already sentenced to 22 years in federal prison.

The last place authori-ties can place the inmates locally is near State 77 and Brickyard Road, where the Lincoln Towncar was reported stolen around 10 a.m. Monday.

"We will not stop until both of these individuals have been apprehended," Crews said in an earlier release. "We have had a tremendous amount of support from several local law enforcement agencies concerning this investi-gation, as well as the U.S. Marshals Felony Fugitive Task Force and the Flor-ida Department of Law Enforcement."

In the release, Crews said "it was determined" that the two men escaped around 11 p.m. Sunday "by chipping away at a portion of their cell wall located under a sink, which allowed them access to a maintenance room. After gaining access to the maintenance room Pardo and Anderson were able to exit into the jail yard and escape by crawling under

a padlocked gate that they had bent."

"Washington County Sheriff’s Office, with the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Felony Fugitive Task Force, will without exhaustion, continue to work all leads in order to locate these two individu-als," said Crews.

Pado was "recently transported to the Wash-ington County Jail on a new charge of murder" and was already serving time for two counts of sale, manufacture or delivery of marijuana and one county of lewd and lascivious out of Collier County. He is described as a his-panic male, about 6 feet, 1 inch tall and weight 183 pounds. The release said Pardo was facing a charge of second-degree murder for allegedly "stabbing a fellow inmate to death" in June at the Northwest Florida Reception Center. He was there following convictions for lewd and lascivious battery and two counts of sale of marijuana.

Anderson was being held in the county jail on charges of fleeing and eluding law enforcement with disregard to safety of person or property, use or display of a weapon during a felony, possession of a methamphetamine with intent to sell or deliver, trafficking of metham-phetamine, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of a controlled substance without prescription and possession of paraheralia. He also was being held for the US Marshall's Office for trafficking in meth-amphetamine, for which he was recently sentenced to serve 22 years.

Crews asks that anyone who sees or comes into contact with the men use "extreme caution and dial 911 immediately."

Anyone with knowl-edge of the escape or the men's whereabouts can call the Sheriff's Office at 850-638-6111 or 850-638-TIPS, or by email at [email protected]

Those wishes are placed on a tree in at the facil-ity to be "picked" by those willing to fulfill the wishes by purchasing the listed items and deliver-ing them to the centers.

Guster says one local resident made a notable difference by sending out a call to action - and then taking action herself.

Janice H. Foster of Bonifay issued a chal-lenge via social media

on Dec. 14 to all Holmes and Washington County business owners, church members, law enforce-ment agencies, and other emergency responders.

"People of Holmes and Washington Coun-ties, we can make this the best Christmas these elderly people have ever had," she wrote in a com-ment on the Washington County News/Holmes County Times Facebook page. "They aren't asking for much. If you will take one name, I will take ten. Let's do this. This is what God wants us to do…"

Guster says Foster made good on her prom-ise and picked up "30 or 40" angel tree wishes at the Bonifay center alone.

"I don't know where this angel came from," Guster said of Foster. "But she showed up and made a big difference."

Washington Reha-bilitation and Nursing Center also reports 100 percent of their resi-dents' Angel Tree wishes have been granted.

Brian Owens, WRNC Quality of Life Director at the center is respon-sible for organizing

recreational and other activities for the center's 160 residents.

"It's really just touch-ing to see how they can still get Christmas even though a lot of them don't have family at all and some of them have j u s t s t o p e x p e c t i n g them," said Owens.

Both facilities states that staff has histori-cally pulled together to purchase the remaining Angel Tree gifts; how-ever, it was a special Christmas message to see local support for their residents.

Three deputies were armed with a total of 20 gift cards worth $25 or $50 to give to unsuspecting drivers.

Sheriff John Tate spoke of wanting to give back to the residents of Holmes County.

“The holidays can be hard on some and we wanted to be able to help ease the burden,” said Tate.

One driver that was stopped said the gift card would help in more ways than could be imagined.

“This is such a blessing, thank you so much,” said Rani Mammana. “My sister recently became homeless. This is going to help get Christmas for our family.”

A n o t h e r r e s i d e n t exclaimed, “I’m lucky. This has never happened to me before. Thank you so much!”

Three deputies in all, Tim Scott, Greg Johnson and Donnie Justice, made the “Santa stops" and also delivered some gifts to a local family in need.

T wo statewide organizations are among those sounding alarms about misguided proposals in the Florida

Legislature that would prevent local gov-ernments from protecting trees.

Good: The more opponents, the bet-ter, in order to have any chance of fending off yet another attempt by the Legislature to micromanage cities and counties.

Sen. Greg Steube, a Sarasota Republican, filed Senate Bill 574, which would prohibit local governments from regulating the “trim-ming, removal or harvesting of trees and timber on private property” or requiring “mitigation” — such as planting trees or pay-ing fees — in exchange for removing exist-ing ones. A companion bill, HB 521, has been filed in the state House of Representatives.

It’s not surprising that SB 574 was filed after Steube was aggrieved he had to obtain and pay for permits from Sarasota County to cut down trees on his homestead. That’s his style: Having faced regulations associated with a rental property on Florida’s east coast, Steube last year filed a bill seeking to “pre-empt” local rules on short-term vacation stays.

Furthermore, in recent years the Legis-lature — which is dominated by Republi-cans, a party that once espoused deferring to government closest to the people — has embraced bills designed to concentrate power in Tallahassee rather than empower cities and counties to respond to local matters.

The Florida Association of Counties opposes SB 574 and HB 521, making the strong case that differences between counties — vast variations in population, values, geography and land-scapes — warrant locally crafted ordinances.

The group 1000 Friends of Florida, a propo-nent of reasonable environmental-protection and development policies, has joined the opposition — citing many of the same rea-sons as the FAC and emphasizing the envi-ronmental and economic value of trees.

Yet 1000 Friends also recognizes the diver-sity of Florida and its cities and counties.

“Some communities may choose not to regulate trees because they do not face devel-opment pressure or are sparsely developed. Other communities may strictly regulate tree removal because they highly value their tree canopy, and would risk losing it without rules to protect it,” they said in a recent statement.

We fully recognize that property rights are in play on trees, and agree compliance with local ordinances should not be oner-ous. It makes sense for cities and counties to routinely review their rules and laws on trees. The development industry certainly has enough political power to influence such exercises; debate should include input from environmental experts and neighborhood groups that place a premium on tree cano-pies and the economic value they create.

Steube’s tree bill provides no practical alternative to local policies and regulations. No one believes that the state could or would develop a reasonable, effective and efficient regulatory mechanism statewide. That, alone should be enough for Floridians to voice their opposition to these misguided bills.

This editorial first appeared in the Sara-sota Herald Tribune, a News and Times sister paper with GateHouse Media.

State shouldn’t micromanage trees

A t this festive time of year, it is good to remember those who

will probably never again personally experience “city sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style.”

Individuals who are fortu-nate enough not to have close relatives in nursing homes may feel that they have “dodged a bullet” and can unashamedly concentrate on “me me me”; but visiting my mother-in-law at the nursing home over the last two years has humbled me and opened my eyes to opportunities for compassion.

Even if you don’t have blood relatives or in-laws who are shut-ins, you owe it to your-self to check out the patient directory at the nearest facil-ity. You may find the sixth-grade teacher who helped you choose your mission in life, the kindly neighbor who gave you shelter those times you acci-dentally locked yourself out of your house, the coach who taught you the value of per-sistence, the beloved aunt of your childhood sweetheart...

I realize that nursing homes are outside the comfort zone of many of us (“The smells! The moaning! The bodies that would no longer make the cover of ‘GQ’ or ‘Sports Illustrated’!”); but most of those patients went outside their own comfort zones many times â€’ leaving familiar surroundings to find a good job, traveling halfway around the world to fight for free-dom, raising stepchildren who clung to memories of their “real” father/mother, marching for civil rights, etc.

The Christ child we celebrate at Christmas certainly came outside his comfort zone. He left the right hand of God, endured the aches and sor-rows of the Human Condition and was mocked and crucified. He set a high standard for us.

We cheat ourselves when we let our hectic schedules push nursing home visits way down our priority list. We rush home to watch a History Channel documentary when we COULD learn about the Great Depres-sion or the Korean War or the Apollo program from someone who was there. We make a mad dash to the bookstore to grab the latest romance novel instead of listening to a real live senior citizen reminisce about the person who was the light of their life for 50 years.

Opportunities abound. True,

some patients are staying for only six weeks of therapy after a knee replacement; but words of encouragement can speed their healing. Some patients are in the latter stages of demen-tia, but a smile or a kind word does not go unnoticed by our Father in heaven. Nurses and other staffers can always use a heartfelt “thank you.”

Certainly, the patients who suffer from glaucoma or osteoporosis or confine-ment to a wheelchair but who remain mentally alert are in need of reassurance, to handle the monotony, loneli-ness and challenges to their dignity. Even patients who have doting relatives will appreciate an extra visit.

Giving the gift of time to someone who can’t repay you in material things can be so much more rewarding than the obligatory ritual of hand-ing a $20 Taco Bell gift card to the co-worker whom you know will reciprocate with a $20 Olive Garden gift card.

Nothing about this col-umn is intended to limit your kindness to the holiday sea-son. Trees and ornaments may be packed away, but the emotional needs remain.

I hope the holidays start you on a year-round pro-gram of tending to the vul-nerable. It is a two-way gift that keeps on giving.

Remember nursing home patients at Christmas

I n my growing up years, everyone knew what the sweet potato bank was as

most farms had one. It was not a place to deposit money nor to get a loan, it was a place to use for storing sweet potatoes to protect them from the cold and assure a supply for food and for propagating next year’s crop.

After the sweet potatoes were harvested and sufficiently dried, it was important to bank enough to see the fam-ily through until next harvest time in late summer. A site was selected possibly on a slope. A shallow hole was dug and lined with a thick layer of pine straw. Some people filled their hole with dry sand before adding the straw. The potatoes were then arranged on top of the straw, another thick layer of straw was added, then covered with soil. The soil was added and made into a mound to assure drainage.

When my Mama wanted to cook potatoes, some-one (often me) had to go the potato bank (some people called them potato mounds or hills) and scratch out enough potatoes to cook.

We had a big black baker that held about a dozen good sized potatoes and filled one rack of the wood-burning stove. I always got enough to fill that. It was important to remove the dirt at the bot-tom of the bank, peel back the straw, and remove the desired amount of potatoes. Then reverse the process. Recover the potatoes. Rake the straw back over them making sure to place sufficient dirt to insu-late against cold. To lose the

contents of the potato bank and the draws for next year’s planting, would be disastrous.

A few years ago in a Garden Club meeting, the question was asked of an extension horticul-turist, how are sweet potatoes propagated. Some of us giggled because he did not know. I recently asked my husband if his family grew their own draws? And he replied “Cer-tainly.” His Mama picked out some of the best-looking pota-toes from the crop and planted them. When the sprouts had grown to the right height, they would be pulled up. And dropped in the prepared rows. (Potato rows were mounded)

I think my Dad always bought the potato draws in bundles. We had to drop them the distance apart in the row that he showed us. Then he took a stick such as a broom handle and pushed them down into the prepared row. If the soil was very dry he and the brothers would have taken zinc wash tubs and gone to nearby Gum creek and brought back wet mud. In that case he would punch the hole and mud would be dropped into it before the plant was dropped.

When the potatoes were mature in early fall, Daddy plowed them up with the mule and turning plow. We had to pick them up and many a potato war was waged in the potato field.

In 1924 an attempt was made to start a potato market here with several farmers agree-ing to plant at least an acre and “hilling” them in until winter when the market price was high. The first rail carload assembled by Ross Masters, local educator, brought 75 cents a bushel. Four train carloads from Bonifay and one from Noma were shipped before a hard freeze hit on January 25 damaging the potato banks and the sugar cane banked for seed and killing the satsuma

orange trees. That pretty well killed the sweet potato market

Then, Carl Colombi was a salesman for the Chef Boiardi Company in Pennsylvania. He met Dr. Joe Vara who was sent by the U.S. Army to inspect food prepared by the company for the troops during WWII. Dr. Vara from Bonifay per-suaded Colombi that Holmes County would be a good place to grow sweet potatoes.

In 1947 Colombi along with the the Fred Zappolo family came to Bonifay with the pur-pose of starting a sweet potato market. Red Feather Foods was set up across from the Farm-ers Market on Highway 90 East selling #1 and # 2 sweet potatoes and kiln dried culls for livestock feed. They brought in certified Puerto Rican sweet potatoes and grew the draws to sell to the farmers who would grow them for the market.

That business closed after three years as wire worms infested the potato crop and wiped out the mar-ket base. It killed my dream that Daddy was going to get rich by planting sweet potatoes for the market.

I am sorry that Holmes County hasn’t been able to come up with some crop or industry that would prosper the land owners. I read in the Florida Wildlife Magazine that Holmes County is the Number one County for Deer Hunting. Perhaps therein lies our prosperity, recreational opportunities such as hunt-ing and fishing. I am just glad that we are able to get good sweet potatoes, one of my favorite foods. We got a half box of Mississippi Reds from Jerry Cooley at Holmes County Farm Supply. They were huge and provided the basis for my Thanksgiving Casserole. I don’t think we’ll be banking them and growing our own draws. Piggly Wiggly and Docs keep adequate supplies year round.

BONIFAY – An attempted traffic stop on a stolen vehi-

c l e l e d t o a chase spanning three counties Thursday.

Bonifay Police Chief C h r i s W e l l s reports an offi-cer with the

Bonifay Police Department attempted to conduct the traffic stop on a vehicle with an expired license plate.

The driver of the vehicle refused to stop, proceeding to run two stop signs before turning onto Bonifay-Chipley Road. The pursuit then con-tinued onto Cope Road, into Jackson County.

Officers performed a pit maneuver at the intersection of Satellite Road and Tri-County Airport Road.

The driver of the 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe was identi-fied as Dustin Royce Brown, 36, of Chipley.

Brown was arrested for an outstanding warrant in

Washington County for driv-ing while license suspended or revoked (DWLSR) and will face additional charges of willful and wanton reckless driving, fleeing and attempt-ing to elude a marked patrol car, grand theft of a motor vehicle, possession of a controlled substance (meth-amphetamine), possession of a controlled substance (Xanax) and another count of DWLSR.

Brown was transported to the Jackson County Jail.

Bonifay Police Chief Chris Wells stated he appreciates the assistance rendered by the Holmes, Washington and Jackson County Sheriff’s Offices and the Chipley Police Department in both the pur-suit and subsequent arrest.

“I greatly appreciate the manpower and assistance provided by all agencies,” said Wells. “We have to work

together to get the job done and this case is a good exam-ple of cooperation among our neighboring agencies. Holmes County Sheriff John Tate, Washington County Sheriff Kevin Crews, and Jackson County Sheriff Lou Roberts were all on scene, along with myself, and assisted with the case. I cannot express my appreciation enough for the assistance rendered by their agencies.”

PANAMA CITY BEACH — On Monday morning, Delta gate attendendance at Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) added a new duty to their job description — auctioneer — as they tried to convince frazzled travelers to give up their seat on the first flight of the day to Atlanta.

“One lucky traveler will get a $600 travel voucher and a night at a hotel,” the gate attendant said to a packed terminal. “I know you have some kids going

on spring break. That's $600 off their ticket.”

No one took the bait until the bidding hit $800.

An electrical fire at Atlanta International Airport brought Delta’s operations to a grinding

h a l t o n S u n d a y a n d Monday, plunging ter-minals into darkness, c a n c e l l i n g h u n d r e d s of flights and strand-ing thousands of holiday travelers throughout the country, including in Panama City Beach.

Three flights from ECP to Atlanta were cancelled on Monday and early Tuesday morning, forc-ing travelers to rearrange their plans.

Travelers, many who were forced to stay put an extra day, called the situ-ation frustrating.

“But what can you expect? That’s travel-ing, especially this time

of year,” one woman said.This is the second

weekend in a row issues at Atlanta have forced local cancellations.

Last weekend it was a snowstorm.

When that happens, ECP Airport executive director Parker McClellan said, “we can do nothing” except help the airlines where possible and treat it as a learning opportunity.

Despite the cancella-tions, McClellan said no travelers spent Sunday night at the airport ter-minal. On Monday, the airport was busy with people trying to make up for lost time and getting

onto new flights.McClellan said Delta is

able to get most passen-gers on new flights within a day or two of the can-cellations. Whether new flights would be added, he said, is up the airlines.

Airports are expected t o b e a t t h e i r b u s i -est through the end of the year. For smooth traveling, McClellan rec-ommended people check the status of their flight before arriving at the airport, travel presents unwrapped and most importantly “pack your patience.”

Problems in Atlanta trickle down to ECP fl ights

By Jim Turner The News Service Of Florida

TALLAHASSEE - Many Hurricane Irma evacuees say they're apprehensive of packing up and leaving their homes again because forecast models failed to match the final track of the September storm.

That is worrisome for Craig Fugate, a former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Florida Division of Emergency Management, including during the state's dev-astating 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons.

Fugate said Thurs-day that Floridians must brace for storms that will be stronger, have longer periods at top speeds and bring more rain than in the past because of the changing climate.

Fugate, who addressed reporters during a con-ference call hosted by the National Hurricane

Survival Initiative about a n e w w e b s i t e a n d year-round awareness campaign titled “Get Ready, Florida!,” said people are expecting a level of forecasting that “isn't there yet.”

Instead, people should continue to anticipate some uncertainty in fore-casting, he said.

“If we knew exactly where it was going to hit it would be a lot easier, but it isn't,” Fugate said. “As we saw with Irma, a slight jog east or west of that track, we'd have been in a lot different impact. I n m a n y w a y s , w i t h the exception for what happened in extreme Southwest Florida and the Florida Keys, we basi-cally did a lot better than what we thought was going to happen.”

The conference call highlighted the need for people in Florida to plan year-round for the six-month hurricane season

and for people who live outside flood zones to consider flood insurance.

A survey by the initia-tive --- whose members include the non-profit F A I R F o u n d a t i o n , Ocala-based Custom Windows Systems, the Florida Home-Improve-m e n t A s s o c i a t i o n , Security First Insurance, the Ygrene Energy Fund, the International Hur-ricane Research Center at Florida International University and the Salva-tion Army --- found one in four Floridians are now less trusting of hurricane forecasts because of Irma.

The survey also found t h a t m a n y F l o r i d -ians entered the 2017 storm season without such things as adequate w i n d o w p r o t e c t i o n , backup batteries and water supplies or failed to have evacuation plans.

The state Division of Emergency Management estimates 6.5 million

people took to the road in attempts to avoid the powerful and deadly storm that made landfall Sept. 10 outside Key West and in Collier County before sweeping up the state. At last count, 84 deaths have been attrib-uted to the storm.

A Mason-Dixon Polling & Research poll in mid-October found that only 57 percent of Floridians said they would follow an evacuation order in the face of a hurricane similar in strength to Irma because the drift-ing nature of the storm's track initially had an East Coast landing.

Fugate said changes in the earth's climate may not be increasing the number of storms, but their features are getting more intense

--- highlighted by the record rainfalls from Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Irma hold-ing maximum sustained winds of 185 miles per hour for more than 24 hours.

“If you look at Harvey's rainfall, there are a lot of people now coming back and starting to look at how climate is affecting rainfall events and the enhancement on that,” he said. “If you had a storm like Harvey sit over Central Florida can you imagine what 50 inches of rain would do to the Orlando area? And we're seeing this across, not just in our Atlantic basin, but across the world. We're seeing intensifi-cations of rainfall events and intensifications of drought events.”

Fugate noted that the credit-rating agency Moody's Investor Ser-vices Inc. last month announced that climate change is forecast to heighten exposure to economic loss, which will place short- and long-term credit pres-sure on state and local governments.

“This will be a growing negative credit factor for issuers without sufficient adaptation and mitigation strategies,” Moody's said in a release.

Moody's noted that after Hurricane Katrina, b e s i d e s w i d e s p r e a d infrastructure damage, revenue declined sig-n i f i c a n t l y f o r N e w O r l e a n s b e c a u s e a large percentage of the city's population left permanently.

Fugate says Floridians should brace for stronger hurricanes

LAS VEGAS — What looked like a slow National Finals Rodeo for Holmes County’s own Kyle Irwin turned out to be his best finale ever.

In fact, he earned nearly as much in 10 nights in Sin City as he did in his two previous NFRs combined. He placed in just four go-rounds, includ-ing the victory in Round 3; but consistency paid off big. He added $43,154 by placing third in the average with a cumulative time of 46.6 sec-onds on 10 runs.

In all, he pocketed more than $115,000 and left Las Vegas with $194,819 to con-clude the season No. 5 in the world standings. That’s up six spots from where he started.

“I think there were a couple of opportunities I didn’t

capitalize on, and there were a couple of times I caught some

steers that might not have been catchable for most,” said Irwin, who had a 4.8-second run Saturday night to finish sixth in the 10th round. “This is what we train for; this is what we practice for. That is the most I’ve ever won here or a single year, so I’m grate-ful for that.

“I’m grateful for the oppor-tunities I had. God is good.”

He did it all on the back of Scooter, the 2017 Steer Wrestling Horse of the Year he co-owns with the world champion, Tyler Pearson. The two are traveling partners and good friends, and Scooter also carried Ty Erickson and Tyler Waguespack to big paydays. In fact, the four bulldoggers earned more than $458,000 on his back.

For that, Irwin earned $13,590 in mount money, a percentage of the earn-ings made by Erickson and Waguespack.

“It was funny when I put him up tonight,” Irwin said of Scooter. “All week it has taken him a little bit to drink water and act like he feels good. Tonight he rolled right away. He drank water and went straight to eating. He knew his job was done, and he knew he had done well.

“That was the biggest limb I’ve ever stepped out on to be a partner on that horse with Tyler. That horse has been the greatest investment I have ever made. The biggest bless-ing, as far as making money, is doing what I love.”

know the reason for the thrift store's pantry.

"Sometimes you have to swallow your pride

when it comes to feeding your family members," said one cadet. "A person could have an outstanding unexpected bill, like a car repair, that needs to be paid. The money used to pay the bill is usually the grocery money."

"Don’t be afraid to visit

the thrift store on cases like this to get assistance with groceries to help feed your family. That’s why the cadets worked so hard to gather in the donations so our com-munity would have a good meal during hard times. "

The Battalion thanked everyone involved in helping make the service mission successful and states cadets will "wear their service learning ribbon proudly this year knowing a great mission was accomplished."

Jack Carol Holling-sworth, son of William Aaron and Allie Mae (Hollis) Hollingsworth was born, March 14, 1947 in Centreville, Mississippi. Jack passed away at the age of 70 on November 17, 2017 at his residence in Vernon, Florida. Jack described his early years as very difficult following his father’s death. He was only 4 years old and he didn’t adapt to his mother’s remarriage. That struggle carried into his adult life and he spent a number of years enslaved by drugs and alcohol. That ended in 1988 when Sally entered his life and shortly there-after he met Christ. He and Sally were married in 1989 and established Acts 29 Ministry in 1990. In 1993 they decided the ministry was to be their fulltime vocation and took to the road stating they were “on the road for Jesus”. That became

the slogan that defined Jack and Sally’s lives. They aggressively pur-sued that life for the next 23 years. Their home was their travel vehicle, campers in the beginning and later motor homes. They traveled wherever God would take them. Ministering in churches, jails and prisons, nursing homes, camp meetings and revivals…taking every opportunity to share the love of Jesus. Jack even accepted the role as featured singer for Lamb and Lion Min-istries in Texas, which further expanded his realm of ministry. They were forced to temper their travel after Sally suffered a stroke in 2011 and they ceased the “on the road” minis-try in 2016 when Sally could no longer travel. Jack then changed the focus of the ministry to local bible studies and serving his neighbors. Jack has been Sally’s

full time caregiver for the last few years and he readily admitted that was contrary to his nature and gave all the credit to God. Jack leaves behind a host of friends across the coun-try…he will be missed.

Jack was preceded in death by his par-ents and his son, Sean Hollingsworth.

He is survived by his wife Sally, daugh-ter Dianna Sanders and step-daughters, Kenda Cocanaugher and Dea Green.

A private graveside service was conducted at New Hope United Methodist Church Cemetery, near his residence in Vernon, Florida on November 28, 2017. A memorial service is planned for January 6th at Laguna Beach Christian Retreat in Panama City Beach, FL at 1:00 P.M. Brown Funeral Home www.brownfh.nethomas.

‘Surrender’ works lower body and coreBy Marlo Alleva More Content Now

I t seems this time of year is in fast-forward and our usual schedules get

shifted just a bit. But that’s OK, most everything is temporary, so instead of just forgetting certain things (like our workouts), let them shift a bit as well so they fit into our crazy schedule.

Our move today is called “surrender.” It is a move going down on to the knees and back up to the feet, relying on core strength and balance. All you need is a flat surface. And the bonus is that it can be done anywhere.

Begin this move by plac-ing your hands gently

behind your head, pushing the elbows to the outside. Stand tall, chest up, with your feet underneath your hips and your core engaged, you are ready to move.

Keeping your whole upper body upright and strong, proceed to bend in the knees, placing your left knee on the floor. As soon as your first knee finds place-ment on the floor, follow with the second knee. Keep-ing your upper body form throughout the move, you will find yourself perched on both knees on the floor for a brief moment. Keep-ing your body in motion, return to a standing motion, by leading with the left leg, following up with the right.

Once you return to a standing position again, repeat the same move-ment, only starting with

your right knee first on this set. Shoot for at least 10 surrenders per set, five leading with the left, and five leading with the right.

Take a small breather in between sets, then con-tinue with your next set, for three to five sets.

You will find that this exercise has a huge emphasis and focus on the lower body, quadri-ceps and hamstrings — but without core strength and balance, it would be extremely difficult.

If you are a beginner, you could use a chair arm or broomstick for added balance. And if you need more intensity, hold a hand weight above your head.

Marlo Alleva demonstrates the surrender move. [SCOTT

WHEELER/THE LEDGER]

By Natalie Jacewicz Kaiser Health News

I t was 1:30 a.m., and Anna was trying to keep her mind off her ex-boyfriend, with whom she had ended a painful relationship

hours earlier. It was too late to call the therapist she was seeing to cope with low self-esteem and homesickness, and too late to stop by a friend’s house.

So, she turned to social media. “I’m having a really hard time right now,” Anna — who asked to be iden-tified by a pseudonym — posted on Facebook. “Is there anyone I can call and talk to until I feel better?”

Almost immediately, three people responded with offers to talk. They were friends she had met playing Quid-ditch, a sport based on the Harry Pot-ter books, and she kept in touch with them online. Anna talked to two of them until she was able to fall sleep.

“I used to be very shy about posting personal stuff on Facebook because I didn’t want people judging me,” said Anna, 26. “But that night, I was in such a bad place; I was desperate, and I thought anything would help.”

The negative effects of social media on young people’s mental health are well-documented by researchers and the press. Social media can drive envy and depression, enable cyberbully-ing and spread thoughts of suicide.

But some academics and thera-pists are proposing a counterintui-tive view: They have found that social media may also help improve men-tal health by boosting self-esteem and providing a source of emo-tional support. These benefits have attracted too little attention from journalists and parents, they say.

“Yes, social media is contributing to a new era of adolescent (and adult) social stress, but when we accept that it is here to stay, we can also see it as a new opportunity for connec-tion and mindfulness,” according to an online advice column published by

the University of California-Berke-ley’s Greater Good Science Center.

“We need to think about social media as not being absolutely good or bad,” said Amy Gonzales, an assistant profes-sor who studies social media and health at Indiana University’s Media School. “We need to think about how to come up with appropriate uses of this stuff.”

Social media have become inte-gral to the lives of young adults and teens: 45 percent of teenagers say they use apps such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram every day.

In research published by the National Center for Biotechnol-ogy Information, Gonzales found that college students who viewed their own Facebook profiles enjoyed a boost in self-esteem afterward.

By curating their online personas to reflect their best traits — choosing flattering pictures and sharing exciting

experiences — users remember what they like best about themselves.

“It’s like the way you might feel good about yourself when you check yourself out in the mirror before a date,” Gonzales explained.

Other studies reveal that peo-ple feel more social support when they present themselves honestly on social media, and tend to feel less stressed after they do so.

“You get much broader affirma-tion by posting on social media than from calling a relative,” Anna said. “It’s one thing if you text a friend; it’s another thing if you have a bunch of people trying to help you out.”

Matthew Oransky, an assistant professor of adolescent psychiatry at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City and a practicing therapist, said many of his patients find social con-nections online they could not find elsewhere. This is particularly true of marginalized teens, such as kids in foster homes and LGBT adolescents.

“I’ve seen some of the really big posi-tives, which is that kids who are iso-lated can find a community,” Oransky said. “They’re often first able to come out to online friends.” In a 2013 survey, 50 percent of LGBT youth reported having at least one close friend they knew only from online interactions.

Young adults with serious mental ill-ness such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder can also find social support via social media, according to a study published in 2016. “These people are openly discussing their illness online,” said John Naslund, a research fel-low at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice.

Social media postings can help foster greater acceptance of mental health problems. “It’s definitely real that there’s hostility online,” Naslund said. “But we’ve found that com-ments related to mental health are overwhelmingly positive. People can learn how to cope with symptoms and how to find the right support.”

Social media supportCould it be helpful to teens with mental health issues?

Technology guidelines for parents

According to Pew Research, at pres-ent, 76 percent of teenagers use at least one social media site.

SafeSearchKids recommends that parents use the same social media sites as their teens and be friends with them so they can routinely check and see teens’ posts and assess their wellbeing.

Dr. Larissa Hirsch, a pediatrician and contributor to KidsHealth.org, suggests that parents keep comput-ers in public areas in the house, avoid laptops and smartphones in bedrooms, and set rules on the use of technology.

She also says that parents should model the behavior they wish to see and not use cellphones at the dinner table and take breaks from social
