WEWAHITCHKA — Realizing it's a fundraiser may be the only puzzling aspect of the event.
For the third consecutive year, Lynn Haven United Methodist Church Men's Group will sponsor Taunton Family Festival Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Taunton Family Children's Home, 200 Taunton Family Road in Wewahitchka. Unlike many fundraisers, the event is free.
"It's a good family activity and our way to say 'thank you' for the support and encouraging people to come out and have a good time with their family," said co-founder of the home Abigail Taunton. "Kids will have a great time — and adults. It'll give them a chance to see what we do."
Money raised at the festival fundraiser will go toward meeting the $200,000 annual operations budget at the children's home, which accepts no government funds and is financed largely by donations.
In 2008, a fire burned the home. Taunton and her husband, David, who are the founders of the children's home, were out of the state at the time of the fire.
"We were so thankful that no one was hurt that it was hard to mourn," the couple posted on their website in 2009. "We are okay. God has a plan. We feel like something good will come of this tragedy."
Four years later, with 14 children living at the home, Taunton said the home is better than it was before the fire.
"It's great, the new building is much superior to the old building," Taunton said, noting a new gym is " a great community place for the kids in our area because there are not a lot of other things for them to do."
"It worked out well, in spite of the tragedy of having the fire," she added.
The festival, also known as Taunton Beach Volleyball Slam, will be filled with activities. A multifaceted "amazing race" competition — in which participants will climb a sand mountain, swim to canoes and do other challenges — will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Other activities include: Frisbee and putt-putt golf, a 5k race and bounce houses. The volleyball tournament begins at 10 a.m.
The past two festivals raised a combined total of $54,000.
Donation boxes will be placed around the campus and short and long sleeve shirts will be sold for $10 each. Plates of food cooked by the Lynn Haven United Methodist Men's Group also will be sold.
Sponsorships are available and all donations are tax deductable. Donations can be mailed to PO Box 870, Wewahitchka, FL 32465 or contact Baber at 258-8587.
-What: Third annual Taunton Family Festival
-When: Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
-Where: 200 Taunton Family Road in Wewahitchka
-Why: To help raise operational costs for the children's home
-Details: Brian Baber, 258-8587

Dr. Sammy J. Tramel, age 81, died Dec. 11, 2011, at OCH Regional Medical Center.
Visitation will be held 10 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 13, at First Baptist Church in Starkville, with the celebration of his life following at 11 a.m.
Burial will follow at Memorial Gardens Park.
Sam was born Oct. 2, 1930, as the 10th of 11 children of Winstead and Onie Develin Tramel and grew up on their farm seven miles northeast of Raleigh. He was a Korean War veteran and earned the Korean Service Medal with two bronze campaign stars.
After his military service, Sam finished a bachelor's degree in physics at Mississippi State University and earned master's and doctoral degrees in mathematics at Louisiana State University. He retired from the MSU mathematics department in 1992.
Besides his parents, Sam was predeceased in death by four brothers and three sisters: Thomas E. (Boe), Elton (Snook), Bobby Ray, Ervin, Mary, Florene and Louella.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Dorothy Robinson (Dot) Tramel; four daughters: Jo Anne (Bill) McMahan of Starkville, Myrna (Al) Boyd of Madison, Ala., Dr. Michaelle (Paul) Harrison of Ocean Springs and Milissa (Paul) Hastings of Huntsville, Ala.; seven grandchildren: Michaelle Maxwell (Tyler) Staples of Greenwood, Charles and Leah Boyd, David and Anna Laurin Harrison, and Joseph and Anna Grace Hastings; two great-granddaughters, Britton and Ann Baxter Staples.
Sam's three surviving sisters are Lilla Parker of Madison, Dorothy (Marion) Brown of Petal and Sue (Bill) Grissett of Madison. Also, he leaves 23 nieces and nephews and about 50 grand-nieces and nephews.
Sam was a member of Starkville First Baptist Church, a Mason, and VFW member.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, a donation be made to Mississippi Sheriffs' Boys and Girls Ranch or to Palmer Home for Children (the address is the same for both: P.O. Box 746, Columbus, MS 39703-9983) or to a favorite charity.

(newest, current model)
(previous model, replaced by Pioneer FH-X520UI)
Single DIN: 1 DIN dimensions will work with all single DIN installation kits we have to offer. Single DIN radios are the most common size for after-market stereos.
Single DIN slot with flip-out screen: The DIN stereo includes a retractable, flip-out screen. Before purchasing, make measurements to be sure there is no interference with dash accessories such as A/C vents or shift levers.
Single DIN slot with a larger face: Standard single DIN size, but the display is larger then the standard single DIN size. Due to the nature of the larger face, problems may arise when installing in particular vehicles. These stereos are great for single DIN slots where you want a larger screen.
1.5 DIN: This size is very uncommon in vehicles, however this size opening is most commonly found in Chrysler and Chevrolet vehicles.
Double DIN: Approximately 4-inches in height, this size is becoming more common every year. Prior to 2000, this size was typically only found in Japanese vehicles such as those made by Honda or Toyota. Now, it is becoming more popular for many vehicles to be fit with a Double DIN opening.
Some manufacturers display peak power ratings on the face of their products to increase the appeal to consumers. The RMS power rating is more accurate, and we recommend using it for product comparison.
Dot-Matrix Text Display: A simple display which uses dots in specific illuminated color(s) to light up and form letters or numbers that are displayed on the receiver.
Graphic or Motion Display: Typically found in mid to high-end receivers and give your text information and receiver more life by adding motion, backgrounds, or multiple colors to your display. There are types of graphic displays such as 3D Graphic, Motion, and OEL (Organic Electroluminescent) displays. They can range from one color to full color displays and typically allow you to select from one of many built-in animations, background images, screensavers or other graphics to enhance your experience and add an extra bit of personality to your system. Some units also come with software that allow you to load your own customizable pictures or animations.
LCD Monitor Display: Can be as small as 2" or as large as 10". Some LCD displays are motorized for angle adjustment. LCD monitors display full motion video playback as well as your standard text such as track status, radio station information and more depending on the receiver's features.
Multi-Color: When more than one color is on the display, for example one part of the text is white, while the other part is blue.
Variable-Color: The display colors can be changed by the user. If the default color of text/display is blue for example, the user can change the settings to where the color turns to red. Variable color displays are typically described in detail in the item's description.
TFT-LCD Display: In-dash receivers with a video screen that display multiple colors and often times video such as DVD, navigation or other video sources.
This rating applies to both external car amplifiers, as well as the amplifiers inside of in-dash stereos.
RCA Composite Inputs
These are your typical red, white, and yellow RCA composite cables that are common among devices with audio and video inputs. The red and white cables are dedicated for audio. The red cable is for the right channel and the white is for the left channel. The yellow cable is specifically for the video signal. Because this type of auxiliary cable contains 2 channels of audio, it will support stereo sound.
This is commonly referred to as a mini-jack or a headphone jack. It is a 3.5mm plug that transfers audio only. There is a right and left audio channel on the plug which allows for stereo sound playback.
3.5mm AV Input
These plugs look similar to the common 3.5mm mini-jack, however they carry a third channel dedicated for video.
This means that an auxiliary input is possible, but only with the use of an optional accessory. These optional adapters will sometimes use the CD Changer port or other port on the back of a unit that might restrict the use of other expandability features. These accessories are typically sold separately.
Some in-dash head units are built-in with the navigation features, while others require an add on navigation box. Other navigation options include portable navigation units that you can take with you or attach to the dash of your vehicle.
RCA Composite Outputs
These are your typical red, white, and yellow RCA composite cables that are common among devices with audio and video inputs. The red and white cables are dedicated for audio. The red cable is for the right channel and the white is for the left channel. The yellow cable is specifically for the video signal. Because this type of auxiliary cable contains 2 channels of audio, it will support stereo sound.
If "Yes", then the aftermarket stereo is compatible with steering wheel remote controls. If an additional accessory is required for the steering wheel controls to work properly, a compatible piece will be listed.
Some Car stereos are compatible with iPods and/or iPhones. If the headunit can connect to an iPod or iPhone via USB or iPod connection cable, these listed iPods are compatible. This list does not apply if the iPod is being connected through the 3.5mm mini-jack plug. Newer iPods are usually compatible if the appropriate adapters are purchased and used.
Any iPods/iPhones released after the release date of this product have not been checked by the manufacturer and/or Sonic Electronix for compatibility. We therefore cannot guarantee their compatibilities or incompatibilities, including, but not limited to: playback, video, charging, and response time.

Got this for replacing a 2003 Subaru Forester radio, fits great with no extra mounting hardware. Currently sonicelectronix says it will not fit a 2003 Subaru Forester but it does indeed fit. The separate button and display colors really lets you customize it to your liking. It's got all the functions I need for it including ipod connectivity. For the price I'm more than happy with everything it does.

I just got my Pioneer FH-X500UI head unit today, and the first thing I'd like to mention is how lightweight this unit is compared to other double DIN's and even single DIN units. Installed the head unit in only 15 minutes, and probably spent the same amount of time going through all the controls, features, and more features that I'm not used to seeing. The illumination color selection contains so many options to choose from for the outer edge lights and the display lights.
For sound quality, it's very crisp, clear, and huge on equalizer controls. Right now I'm running a factory amplifier in the car for the highs and mids, and a Rockford Fosgate T1500-1bd amplifier on two Soundstream SPLX-152HX in a ported box and the sub controls from the head unit are perfect.
If you are looking for a nice double DIN head unit, this is the one get. The price is budget friendly and works perfect with my iPhone 5.

Pioneer has a long standing reputation for good sound in car stereos. while not the cheapest unit I found (was looking for a DIN unit with CD slot, USB and MP3 input), it was the best combination of specs and price and quality. Installation was pretty easy (if you're color blind, you'll need some help) and getting the know the controls is a challenge for older users. But the fits well, looks good, and sounds great. And we can plug our Kindle into it have our "books on tape" without the hassle of a large box of CDs.

With all the kids missing that are never found or are found dead, I believe that the intervention of these young men probably saved this child's life or saved her from unspeakable things. They are the kind of everyday people that do heroic things that restore my faith in humanity and my faith in our future generations. I think these boys should be rewarded with more than 15 minutes of fame. They should have something that helps them reach their future goals, after all a 5 year old girl now has a future because they stepped in to help when they didn't have to.
Original story:
A 5-year-old Pennsylvania girl who was abducted Thursday in Lancaster Township was rescued and returned safely to her mother thanks a pair of teens who located the kidnapper and chased him down on their bikes.
15-year-old Temar Boggs and his pal Chris Garcia didn't know Jocelyn Rojas or her family when they decided to join the local police in searching for her abductor.
"I had the gut feeling that I was going to find the little girl," Temar told Lancaster Online.
That gut feeling proved prescient: Just two hours after a middle-aged man reportedly lured Jocelyn into his vehicle with the promise of ice cream she was spotted by Temar inside a maroon car on Gable Park Road.
Temar said the car caught his eye as it suspiciously swerved in an out of side streets, seemingly trying to avoid getting noticed by police vehicle in the area.
The boy and his friend gave chase on their bikes, and quickly caught up with the vehicle.
Looking inside they saw a little girl and an older man behind the wheel. The man looked back at Temar and Chris before driving a short distance and pushing Jocelyn out of the car.
"She runs to my arms and said, 'I need to see my mommy,'" Boggs recalled.
Unfortunately the kidnapper managed to drive off and police are still asking for the public's assistance in helping to track him down.
But Jocelyn's family is just happy to have her back, and they know who to thank for that.
"[They] were just saying that I was a hero, that I was a guardian angel and that it was amazing that I was there and was able to find the girl," said Temar. "I'm just a normal person who did a thing that anybody else would do."

Post-Presidential Election 2012: Splitting Headache Edition
Posted by KingShamus on November 12, 2012
Okay, I was wrong.
Terribly, miserably and utterly wrong.
For what its worth, I am very sorry.
For my all ten of my readers, I apologize if I gave you false hope.
If it makes you feel better, I think I gave myself a lot more false hope than I gave you. I knew it was going to be tighter than I predicted, but I let some of the data sway me. More, I let aspirations triumph over experience. My bad. I'll try not to let it happen again.
In any event, here's my loosely organized thoughts on Mitt Romney's defeat:
1-How long have liberals dominated the education establishment, from pre-school to grad school, in this country? Since the late 60's or early 70's is probably a good guess. A constitutional republican order would have a hard time surviving one generation exposed to constant socialist indoctrination. In America, we've decided to let roughly two or three generations of kids grow up with a teaching community whose ideology is often antithetical to the traditional American ideals of limited government, a sovereign citizenry and property rights.
How many people in America have a bachelor's degree? Over thirty percent. This means that almost a third of our country has been subjected to four years of leftist propaganda, with seventy-two percent of college lecturers describe themselves as liberal. Knowing this, ponder just how much time the average college kid spends being marinated in a campus culture where most, if not all, the socio-political assumptions are Marxist. Knowing this, it's more shocking that anyone escapes their university years not completely indoctrinated in socialist theory.
2-How much money do American media corporations donate to left-wing candidates? It was a multi-million dollar figure this year. By itself, that isn't all that surprising. A lot of people understand that the media is very biased against conservatism and right-of-center political figures.
What makes the MSM so powerful isn't their money. They are formidable because they are both a Democrat Party piggy bank and a dominant shaper of American culture. The money they pump into the statist caucus is massive, but it can be seen and measured and countered. What cannot be quantified, because it is so diffuse, are the biases they broadcast into society.
Study the last twelve years of media behavior. Look at the vastly different treatments given by the MSM to the last two US presidents.
Hypothetical–What if George Bush had presided over the Benghazi tragedy? Can you imagine Candy Crowley shielding Dubya from criticism during a presidential debate? Would the commentariat be doing a media blackout to protect Premier Booosh from a major foreign policy disaster that he created? Would Bush be able to get away with not answering questions about the debacle?
Of course, none of that would've happened.
George Bush was a Republican. And he was rich. And he was tough on Muslim terrorists. And his vice-president was Halliburton. And he stole the 2000 election. So yeah, George Dumbya had to be torn down.
And that's just the news media.
Look at all the movies Hollywood made trashing George Bush. Now think about the hagiographic film La-La Land is making for Barack Obama. Notice a difference?
If that's too blatantly partisan for your tastes, do a quick mental scroll through the last five first-run major studio movies you've watched. Can you think of any that celebrated–not in a namby-pamby sotto-voce manner, but in a loud 'n proud way–things like the nuclear family, gun rights, the pro-life position or free-market capitalism? Or were there numerous parts of those last five flicks that clashed with your political beliefs? My guess is that your experiences probably ran closer to the latter than the former.
In short, the entertainment industry routinely makes films specifically designed to denigrate right-of-center values and pump up the socialist volume. The major pop-culture players aren't just left-wingers. They are proselytizers of the only religion progressives actually believe in–big intrusive government.
I keep hearing how the MSM is dying. Lots of folks on the Right insist that the power of the print/broadcast/motion picture/music business is waning. I want to believe that. I still kinda do.
But at least for the short term, and maybe even the medium term, the media-industrial complex is gonna keep being the Left's ace in the hole.
3-But even with all that going against the Republican Party and conservatism in general, Mitt Romney still had a decent chance to win the contest. Lots of people, including silly ol' me, thought the former Massachusetts governor was going to score a victory. So what happened on Election Day?
In a word, Mitt Romney's get-out-the-vote operation was a disaster. This in turn helped contribute to an election where Obama was re-elected with less votes than he scored in 2008, but the GOP lost by about 400,000 votes across four key states.
The bad part is that the mechanical breakdowns on the part of Team Romney led to their candidate's defeat.
The good part is this is one area where Republicans can immediately improve.
The really bad part is this is the only area where Republicans can immediately improve.
4-Twenty seven percent of Latinos voted for Romney. Mitt got a whole whopping six percent of the black vote. Asian voters were so enthused over the prospect of a President Romney they gave him twenty-six percent of their vote.
Demographics are simply not on the side of the GOP.
Here's a pithy name for Election 2012: "Ted Kennedy's Last Triumph". It was Senator Chappaquiddick, along with many other liberals, who were most enthusiastic about the 1965 immigration reform. That act shifted how many immigrants America imported into itself. Instead of taking in mostly Europeans, the US has opened it's doors to vast numbers of people from Latin America, Asia and Africa. This has had a profound effect on our politics and will continue to do so for decades.
Put simply, if you're unhappy with an electorate, if you don't like their policy preferences, their religious beliefs or their social mores, a good way to deal with that is to simply change the composition of the electorate until you get the citizenry you desire.
Knowing this, look at how brilliantly the Democrats have positioned themselves. They are the party of massive government services. What population group uses massive government services–like welfare–in proportionally far greater numbers than almost anybody else in America? Immigrants.
One couldn't have drawn up the play any better. The Donkey-Punchers have run the equivalent of Phil Jackson's triangle offense on the American population. The Republicans have been too stupid to realize it.
5-Put it all together: A population that has been propagandized more than it has been educated. A popular culture that largely despises traditional American values. An immigration policy that imports huge numbers of voters who are sympathetic to progressive Democrat Party policies. A campaign that couldn't get out of it's own way enough to activate it's base in a winnable election.
The only good thing about this loss is that it might be so painful, even the GOP leadership along the rank-n-file will wake up. Maybe. Possibly. If we're lucky.

I don't think you have anything to apologize for because I don't think we were unreasonably optimistic. What's really starting to irritate the crap out of me is all of this talk about a "Conservative Echo Chamber"–the Mittmentum wasn't echo chamber-y. He was doing fairly well against a sitting president with an appalling record but a very capable GOTV effort.
Personally, I'm starting to think that the GOP's standard president-as-CEO sales pitch is what's not working. I have a feeling that when many voters thought of Mitt, they pictured these guys.

We are guilty of what we always accused to left of doing.
1. We talk in a vacuum only to ourselves.
2. We keep saying "Romney wasn't a good communicator." Well, maybe it's the message itself.
Limited government? Fiscal restraint. These are not easy sells in any circumstance.
3. Immigration? I live in a predominantly Dominican neighborhood in Manhattan. Hispanics are natural socialists. They come from poor, corrupt, socialist shitholes in Central and South America and once here they try to turn America into a mirror image of the shithole they left.
It used to be people came to America for a better life and to get away from government. Now they come here for a better quality of free stuff.

don't be so hard on yourself, KS. You weren't alone with those projections. Consider this. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the inteligence of the average American voter? …. Now, understamd that half of all American voters are below average. You can't fix stupid, my friend.

Rogan Gregory of Edun takes CFDA/Vogue fashion fund award; Bono must be proud
Edun designer Rogan Gregory, seen here with Bono and wife Ali Hewson, took home the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award at last night's 7th on Sale gala. The ethical clothing designer has beaten out tough competition to win the $200,000 prize – like runners up Phillip Lim and jewelry designer Philip Crangi, who each recieved $50,000. Other finalists included Erin Fetherston, who will likely win in her own way with her Target collection, Scott Sternberg of Band of Outsiders, Michael Bastian and Victoria Bartlett of VPL, and Angela Donhauser and Adi Gil of Threeasfour among others. This is the first year that a business advisory committee made up of presidents and CEOs of labels like Calvin Klein, Cole Haan, and Diane Von Furstenberg will provide guidance and advice for all finalists.

Mr. Smith a recep¬ tion at the residence of Mr. Tredwell on December 23, 1896. On January 1, 1897, the following committee was appointed by the Bish¬ op for one year: C. W. Oley, Rowland H. Mayland, Vfilbur F. Tredwell, Charles F. Allee and C. B. Finch. Mr. Finch, Secretary; Mr. Mayland, Treas¬ urer. The officers of the first Guild were: President, Mrs. Andrew J. MacLean; Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs. C. W. Oley. Everything that the Guild un¬ dertook was always successful. The Guild purchased a Mason & Hamlin organ at a cost of $500. Through so¬ cial entertainments, cake sales, fairs, etc., working day and night in the in¬ terest of the church, in securing mon¬ ey for its support, the Guild saw the chureh safely through the stormy days of its first launching and it can be safely said that had it not been for the support and courage, and inspira¬ tion of this chosen band, the church would never have made port in any¬ thing like a healthy condition.

Recent Activity
MPI/IOM Panel Discussion and Asia-Pacific Launch of Developing a Road Map for Engaging Diasporas in Development
A discussion with Dr. Noppawan Tanpipat, Vice President, National Science and Technology Development Agency; Frank Laczko, Head, Migration Research Division, IOM; Dovelyn Rannveig Agunias, Regional Research Officer, IOM, and Policy Analyst, Migration Policy Institute (MPI); and Kathleen Newland, Director of Migrants, Migration, and Development, Migration Policy Institute (MPI).
This discussion highlights the best practices and experiences of different countries in engaging and maximizing the contributions that diasporas can and do make to the development of their country of origin, and more broadly the experience of policymakers in both sending and receiving countries and the related challenges and opportunities they face.
The launch of the Diaspora handbook and a joint panel discussion that explored the opportunities and challenges that governments face when developing strategies to engage diaspora populations.
This discussion on the current global challenges of protecting refugees with Volker Türk, who directs UNHCR's Division of International Protection, and Kathleen Newland, Director of the Refugee Protection Program was organized around three main themes: protection gaps, burden-sharing, and reducing statelessness.
The Migration Policy Institute celebrated its first decade as the authoritative, unimpeachable resource on immigration and immigrant integration analysis and policy design in the United States and internationally.
The 2014 Global Forum on Migration and Development: Setting the Agenda for International Cooperation
A discussion focused the 2014 Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD): its agenda, the policy areas that seem ripe for action, and what impact the discussions will have on the post-2015 development agenda.
This MPI event, in partnership with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), discusses the critical issue of climate-related displacement in the Asia-Pacific region, focusing on the vulnerability of environmental migrants and how the international legal framework can better ensure their protection.
UN Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees T. Alexander Aleinikoff joined Kathleen Newland for a discussion on the Syrian refugee and internally displaced population, now considered one of the biggest humanitarian emergencies in a generation.
The Chair of the Global Forum on Migration and Development, along with the Special Advisor to the UN Special Representative for International Migration discuss what is expected from The UN High-Level Dialogue on Migration and Development in October 2013 and what impact it may have on the Global Forum on Migration and Development.
Diaspora engagement has become a key and accepted component in the arsenal of development strategies. The question of how to effectively and efficiently harness the force of a country's diaspora through government intervention and policy remains one that many governments and international organizations must grapple with.

Beware of lying robocalls by Prop 2 opponents
There's hasn't been a lie, a dollar or a phone call that the opposition hasn't used to make sure the voices of working families are silenced on Nov. 6. Within the past week, MEA members have been targeted with robocalls, full of lies and cheap, dirty political tricks meant to confuse you about Proposal 2.
One caller claims to be from an MEA member—more likely someone from Protecting Michigan Taxpayers, the biggest liars and donors against Proposal 2—urging a no vote. This is a bold lie. From the very beginning, MEA leaders, members and staff have been supporting Proposal 2. Our message hasn't changed in the last days before the election.
The lies continue. A robocall—again from Protecting Michigan Taxpayers—outrageously contends that passage of Proposal 2 would overturn the Second Amendment right to bear arms. Not true—the Second Amendment is not a labor law. Obviously the group is willing to lie and cheat to deny working families their collective bargaining rights.
Yesterday, MEA President Steve Cook issued a final call to all MEA members about these deceitful tactics and warning member not to be fooled by these dirty political scams.
The other side is running scared and is desperately trying every strategy—honest or not—to con voters and defeat Proposal 2. Tell all of your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers the truth about Proposal 2—it will protect the rights and voices of working families to collectively bargain over wages, benefits and conditions of employment. Tell everyone you meet today and tomorrow to vote YES on Proposal 2.

CHIPLEY — The Washington County Tourist Development Council approved the new method of providing advertising, not cash, to local events during their workshop and meeting Monday at the Chamber Building in Chipley.
The decision was not unanimous, with Mary Richmond voting against the change. "I don't have enough information," she said.
Three council members, Richmond, Elizabeth Henderson and Mark Hess, joined the meeting via conference call so the TDC would have a quorum.
From now on, when events such as the Panhandle Watermelon Festival apply for TDC assistance with promotion, they will be awarded that assistance in pre-purchased bulk advertising, Administrative Assistant Heather Lopez said.
"This will save the council money," Member Ted Everett said. The switch from cash to advertising will also make the process simpler and more transparent, Everett said. "The event representatives will have radio and print advertising to choose from, and the TDC will be there to give them advice as to which station or media is more appropriate for their event."
Richmond questioned the amount of money the TDC planned on spending for advertising. "I don't think we should spend $80,000 on advertising," she said.
Everett said $80,000 would represent the entire annual budget of the TDC. "We're talking about spending $10,000 a year on bulk advertising," Everett said.
This doesn't mean the TDC will stop funding events, Everett said. The grant program only provided funds to be used for advertising and promotion, and that is still the mission of the TDC.
"This will also allow us to promote the county in general when there isn't a specific event taking place," Lopez said. "Which is one of the things the TDC has been wanting to do more of."
Tim Lanham visited the TDC during its workshop and informed the council that there will be a state Bee Keeping Conference held in Chipley from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2.
"We expect there will be 200 to 250 people coming to Chipley for the event," Lanham said. He added that Lopez has been working with him in arranging hotel accommodations for visitors.
The event is sponsored in part by the Chipola, the Tupelo and the Central Panhandle Bee Keepers Associations, Lanham said.
"The county extension office is also heavily involved, and we hope to get our FFA, 4-H and JROTC kids involved in the events as well," Lanham said.
In other business, the council approved a $100 grant request from the city of Vernon for the Firecracker Day event, which had to be rescheduled until Aug. 31 due to flooding on the Fourth of July.
The TDC members also heard a report from Lopez on attendance at the Panhandle Watermelon Festival, which was held June 28-29.
"The attendance at Friday's concert event was estimated at 3,500," Lopez said, "which is tremendous considering the weather." Numerous people booked hotel rooms and stayed for Saturday's events, and the Washington County Agricultural Center auditorium was packed for the Watermelon Auction and the concert by the Grammy Award-winning bluegrass group Dailey & Vincent. "People were standing along the walls because there were no more seats," Lopez said.
The Watermelon Festival's Facebook page also received a record number of visits, getting up to 20,000 hits a day during the week leading up to the event.
The Festival's web page received 439,000 hits in the three months prior to the event, and the county web site's visits also increased in June due to the Festival, posting 1,518 visits with 1,300 of those clicking through to the Watermelon Festival page.
"The rebranding, and the shift in focus they have done with the Watermelon Festival has done wonders for the event," Lopez said.

EGLIN AFB — Civilian contractor Jonathan Lord died and three others were injured Wednesday afternoon after the fire suppression system in King Hangar released an unknown amount of foam, according to base officials.
The contractors were employees of Defense Support Services (DS2), which provides support services to Department of Defense equipment and facilities. The three injured were not identified as of Thursday morning.
A member of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is on site doing an investigation, according to OSHA spokesman Jeff Romeo.
"We want to find out what happened and how it happened," Romeo said Thursday morning. "If companies have employees involved in something that results in a hazardous working condition then they could be issued citations."
Romeo said fatal accident investigations can take up to six months to complete.
Messages left at DS2 offices at Eglin and in Marlton, N.J., were not returned Wednesday night.
Lord was a tool and parts attendant with DS2 and had been a contract employee at Eglin since 2006. The Valparaiso man is survived by his wife and one child.
The three injured contractors were treated for inhalation problems, according to a news release from the Eglin. Two were treated on base and released and the third was taken to White-Wilson Medical Center. They have since been released.
The fire suppression system in the 90,000-square-foot maintenance hangar has 24 foam generators that hang from the ceiling. The hangar was filled with foam after the accidental release, Walsh said.
The foam suppressant is similar to soap or dish detergent, according to Eglin.
It was unknown how many people were in the hangar when the foam was released.
Five aircraft were in the hangar, Eglin reported. The base did not say whether any of the planes were damaged.
A similar incident occurred in 2012 but no one was injured. Foam in the hangar was 10 to 12 feet deep.

Firstly, let's be honest: You are unlikely to please everyone. The most important thing is that the destination and venue for your event are relevant to the event itself.
For this reason, plenty of diplomacy and persuasion are sometimes needed to convince others that a lovely holiday destination is not necessarily an appropriate location for a conference. Or why the venue should be changed, even though the last time was such a hit. Often, there should be a rule of thumb that no conference venue is used more than once.
Regardless of details, such as the requirements profile for the actual location, the presence of a large auditorium alone is generally not enough. The number of hotel rooms with a specific star rating is important, as are accessibility by coach or rail, travel in general and even sustainability. Not to mention the time of year and the local climate. These are issues that need to be considered because not all conference venues are always accessible and not all locations can be used in full all the time. And what about annual holidays, public holidays and other events?
If that were not enough, do political/social aspects need to be addressed? Are there security concerns? Is it possible to arrange supporting activities/entertainment? Finally, are there any grants and subsidies available that could take the pressure off the budget? Could sponsors be found?

Spotlight for Recruiting ProfessionalsMarch 20, 2013
by Sue Keever Watts
That business purpose and business mission are so rarely given adequate thought is perhaps the most important cause of business frustration and failure. – Peter F. Drucker, management consultant, author, and teacher
Corporate vision, mission, and value statements. Why do we roll our eyes when we hear these words? It's because so many employees will tell you that in their company there's no evidence that the company culture, processes, or leader behaviors are aligned with the mission.
A mission statement has to be created in a way that motivates employees to drive toward something important, believable, relevant, and achievable. It should meet the human need for relatedness and meaning. While it should be ambitious, the mission statement must accurately reflect a company's culture. Processes that evolve into habits over time have to be designed to reinforce the mission. And, employees and customers have to witness behaviors that support this mission every single day.
Employees don't just show up every day to get a paycheck. Compensation has to be fair and equitable, but it doesn't drive people. Employees (humans) want to be a part of something bigger than themselves. They want to feel connected and they want to do work that has significance.
This is why a mission statement is important. It's aspirational in nature. It sets the bar. It sets the tone. It informs everyone in the company of why their work is important. And, it influences what habits and behaviors are necessary to succeed.
I remember sitting in a boardroom with a beautiful set of value statements framed and mounted in full view of all those at the meeting. One of the value statements was "We promote an environment of camaraderie and mutual respect." Ten minutes into the meeting and I witnessed intimidation, disrespect, and division. Eleven minutes into the meeting and I knew that the mission statement was irrelevant. It was a lie and everyone knew it.
If you're developing a mission statement or brand for your department, you must begin with the company's overarching statement. They must be aligned; however, you do have flexibility. An employer brand has to answer the question, "Why would a successful professional want to work for your company?" Don't create your mission statement, employer brand statement, or values statement in isolation. Here's an example:
When helping a company develop an employer brand, I conducted focus groups and interviews throughout the company to understand from leaders, experienced hires, and new hires what the company stood for, what it valued, what it aspired to be, what it was good at, and how it treated its people.
I also asked employees to answer two questions: First, if the company were a famous person, who would it be? Second, if the company were a magazine, which magazine would it be? Strange questions for sure, but when I asked people why they gave the answers they did, it told me a tremendous amount about the heart and the core of the company.
All of this feedback was assembled into what we called "the tribute." In essence, it was like an obituary. If the company were to shut down tomorrow, who would be impacted and how would it be remembered? It was everything that was real and true about the company. The tribute became our guide as we developed our employer brand, our advertising messaging, and attraction campaign.

I've been taught that aquí and acá are completely interchangable.
From personal observation, acá seems to be used more often than aquí in the context of "I live down this road." Example:
Vivo por acá.
I don't think I've ever heard a person say
vivo por aquí, even though I think they have the exact same meaning, right?
I'm wondering if there are any guidelines for when one is preferred over the other.
