Several area agencies joined the Washington County Sheriff ’s Offi ce in a hunt on Thursday and Friday for Ran-dall Ralph Holley, 39, of 7029 Vinson Road.

The search began after Holley reportedly showed

up at a residence on Greenhead Road, where his wife had been staying after an argument with him. A domestic in-cident ensued. Ac-cording to reports, Holley then got in his vehicle and drove it directly at

another individual on the property. The intended vic-tim, who was armed with a 12-gauge shotgun, fi red and

shot through the driver’s side door, striking Holley in the leg with buckshot.

Holley later reportedly told family members he “wouldn’t be taken alive” and would “kill anyone who tried to arrest him”.

Holley, who was also wanted on unrelated charges by the Panama City Beach Police Depart-ment and for grand theft by Escambia County, was captured near his home

Thursday morning af-ter SWAT teams from the WCSO, Bay County Sheriff ’s Offi ce, the BCSO helicopter, and the U.S. Marshals Flor-ida Regional Fugitive Task Force spent more than 24 hours searching both sides of the Washington and Bay county line near Ebro.

The arrest came after a physical altercation that resulted in both Holley and two law enforcement offi -cer receiving minor injuries

after the suspect dove out of a plate glass window to attempt escape and then fought with offi cers.

Holley was booked into the Bay County Jail and is charged with aggravated assault and domestic bat-tery in Washington County, four counts of resisting ar-rest with violence, and two counts of battery on a law enforcement offi cer. Stolen property was also reported-ly recovered from his home.

House billwon’t helpbring slots

to EbroBy MATTHEW BEATON

522-5114 | @matthewbeaton [email protected]

TALLAHASSEE — Comprehensive gam-ing legislation in the state House won’t help Ebro Greyhound Park’s quest for slots.

The bill (HB 1383), fi led ear-lier this week, refl ects House Speaker Will Weatherford’s low view of the gaming industry anddesire to avoid expanding it. The bill does not include a plan for two South Florida destination casinos, as does a similar Senate measure (SPB 7052), nor would it allow slots in several coun-ties, including Washington, which have approved them by voter referenda.

Instead, the bill would overhaul Florida statutes, cleaning up the codes and adding a Gaming Control Commis-sion to regulate the industry.

Gaming Committee Chairman Rob Schenck, R-Spring Hill, fi led the411-page bill, sure to be the chief piece of legislation his committee hears dur-ing the 2014 session.

The bill is silent on the slot machine issue, but state Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fort Walton Beach, said he is “open-mind-ed” about Ebro’s situation because vot-ers already have approved them. He is running for an open state Senate seat

CHIPLEY — A Chipley busi-ness owner is in jail this week after the Washington County Drug Task Force concluded a lengthy inves-tigation into allegations a lo-cal store was selling narcot-ics to “select customers”.

Ahmad Shibly Raihan, partial owner of Chipley Foodmart at the corner of State Road 77 and South Boulevard was arrested late in the afternoon on March 4.

According to the Chipley Police Department, the store was selling synthetic marijuana under the label of “Scooby Snax Potpourri.” Synthetic marijuana is ille-gal to sell over the counter, but a search of the store led to the discovery of both marijuana and synthetic marijuana concealed in the

storage room of the business. The synthetic marijuana was individu-ally packaged for sale, according to reports, and not displayed, but rath-er sold to “select customers” during normal business hours.

Raihan, who was the manager on duty at the time of the search, was arrested and booked into the Wash-ington County Jail on charges of sell of synthetic narcotic, possession of synthetic narcotic with intent to sell and possession of marijuana.

“Synthetic marijuana is an il-legal substance that is commonly mistaken as being legal and has become a popular alternative for our young people to consume as opposed to cannabis,” said Chipley Police Chief Kevin Crews. “These substances are sold in stores as ‘potpourri’ in varying amounts and actually marketed as a fragrance,

but its real intent is to be consumed. Synthetic marijuana is extremely dangerous to our children, and those who choose to consume this illegal substance.”

“The Chipley Police Depart-ment has made efforts to rid our local stores of these substances,” he added. “I ask if anyone knows of persons or businesses that are still selling these substances, or of any other criminal activity, to report these activities to the Chipley Po-lice Department at 638-6310, or to remain anonymous, call the Crime Stoppers of Washington County at 638-TIPS.”

CHIPLEY — The Washing-ton County Planning Com-mission is looking to change nonconforming land use clas-sifi cations in an effort to update

county land use maps.County Senior Planner Mike

DeRuntz said the goal is to cor-rect some inconsistencies.

“As designed, the proposed changes won’t change how prop-erties can be used,” DeRuntz said. “It will only serve the pur-pose of cleaning up the map and refl ecting more accurately how property is actually used. This will not affect property tax assess-ments in any way, and most of the proposed classifi cations won’t af-fect individual properties.”

Planning Commission board member Roger Hagan explained

the concept in simple terms dur-ing the March 4 Planning Com-mission meeting.

“If a room has a broom, mop and (other cleaning supplies) in it, it’s a broom closet, no matter if you call it a dining room or any-thing else. All we’re wanting to do is identify the land as what it’s already being used for, essentially calling the broom closet a broom closet.”

Currently, there are 900 par-cels up for reclassifi cation, to-taling more than 18,000 acres

Planning Commission hopes to bring property into conformity

bill from page A1in 2016 where his district would include Washington County.

Gaetz, a member of the gaming committee, said he wants to give the will of the voters “special deference.” He said he wasn’t sure if he would support the Ebro slots, though, and would need time to review the par-ticulars on the situation — the games that would exist, the tax rate and the benefit to the community.

On the whole, Gaetz said he is against expand-ing gambling not because of moral qualms, but because it’s not a sound economic development strategy most of the time. He is particu-larly opposed to destina-tion resorts and said he’s “very skeptical” that putting big ones in South Florida would benefit his Panhandle constituents.

“The money doesn’t sleep overnight in many of the communities where ca-sinos exist,” he said. “The money is shipped off to, you know, Las Vegas or Asia.”

The House bill also does not address decoupling — which would end a re-quirement that greyhound tracks run a minimum num-ber of races to operate a card room — or mandatory injury reporting for tracks. But Gaetz sees those issues as top priorities and will fight for them in the Gaming Committee, he said.

Gaetz also said it’s para-

mount to keep decoupling away from special inter-est groups that might bog it down and prevent its passage.

“Most legislators — and even most industry stake-holders — agree that de-coupling is the right thing to do,” he said.

The gaming bill also does not include a provi-sion that would require a constitutional amendment to expand gambling in Flor-ida, but that is forthcoming. Gaetz said he plans to put forward such a proposal, an idea the House speaker has promoted.

“(It) would take the power to regulate gaming away from the Legislature and give the power to the people,” Gaetz said.

The constitutional re-quirement would set up a situation where if Bay Coun-ty residents wanted slots, voters in Miami would have a say, as well as voters in ev-ery other part of the state.

Gaetz said that’s a good thing because expanded gaming “affects the brand of the state of Florida.”

“We market Florida as a brand and so the activities within our state either en-hance or tarnish that brand no matter where we live,” he said.

State Rep. Jimmy Patro-nis doesn’t sit on the gam-ing committee and said he wasn’t prepared to take a position on the constitution-

al amendment idea, which would require 60 percent voter approval to expand gaming.

Patronis, however, does know he doesn’t want more slots, casinos or betting tracks in the state.

“As the status quo cur-rently exists under Florida law, I am content with the current environment,” he said. “I do not like the idea of any further expansion of gaming.”

The Panama City Repub-lican said he couldn’t sup-port the Senate’s primary gaming bill with its plan for destination casinos. A sepa-rate Senate bill also includes a constitutional amendment requirement for future gaming.

In Ebro’s case, Patronis endorsed an older method used for Miami-Dade and Broward counties’ slots. It first required statewide voter approval and then lo-cal voter approval. He sym-pathized with Washington County voters’ plight, but held firm on his position.

“I think the exercise that they went through does tell the Legislature — and it does tell the voters — that this region is interested in slots,” he said, adding, “but based on the current status of the (state) constitution — to my interpretation and also the governor’s and the attorney general’s — (it) does not make them eligible for slots.”

maps from page A1and with some dating back more than a decade. Twenty-four properties tracts in Caryville are still classified as “residen-tial” though they were part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency “buy-out” in 1994. The buyout followed the wake of the “Great Flood of ’94,” which crested at about 29-feet, submerged Caryville un-derwater, left homes nearly worthless and became the catalyst for the town’s popu-lation to drop from 1,500 residents to less than 200.

Forty-one properties, classified as Agri-culture/ Silviculture, belong to Northwest Florida Water Management and should be classified as Conservation.

The bulk of the proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Map is found in 396 tracts in Sunny Hills, nearly all designated as Agriculture/ Silviculture, which should be classified for Sunny Hills Mixed Use, in-cluding various residential classifications.

“This FLUM is severely out of date,” DeRuntz said. “This really should be an annual process.”

Landowners need not fear their land classifications will change without notice, however. Public hearings will be held, and the planning commission vows to work diligently to keep residents informed.

“I think we should filter the list and con-centrate on businesses first,” said board member David Morris at the meeting. “We should keep property owners informed be-fore we make any changes so they have a chance to attend the hearings.”

Morris also suggested taking the pro-posed changes in smaller sections to help avoid confusion.

“We should focus on one distinct area before going into right or left field,” Morris said. “We need to do this in smaller bites and notify the property owners so we can get their feedback.”

Morris also stressed the importance of focusing on correcting nonconformities first and concentrating on “future land use maps” at a later date.

The planning commission meets again in regular session at 5 p.m. April 1.

Many properties up for reclassification are holdovers from the “Great Flood of 1994”, after which FEMA bought up affected property. That property, which should be classified as “conservation”, is still classified as “residential”, despite being located squarely in a flood plain.

TALLAHASSEE — In an ef-fort to help grow small businesses in the state, the Florida Department of Transportation will imple-ment a number of strate-gies to further support small businesses:

• Increase the percent-age of small business re-served professional ser-vices contracts from 10 percent to 15 percent (the 10 percent goal for con-struction and maintenance contracts will remain the same);

• Increase the small business reserved project amount threshold from $1 million maximum value to $1.5 million maximum (the BDI project amount origi-nally started at $500,000);

• Increase the thresh-old for requiring an over-head audit on profes-sional services contracts from $250,000 to $500,000, which reduces the cost of doing business with the department;

• Incentivize larger firms to team with Disad-vantaged Business En-terprise (DBE) and small businesses in types of ser-vices where they have been traditionally under-utilized;

• Simplify the small business size standard for construction/maintenance to one size threshold of $15 million instead of multiple thresholds based on the type of work (the profes-sional services size stan-dard was previously simpli-fied to one threshold of $6.5 million);

• Expand the Small Business database that currently has professional services firms to include construction, maintenance and other contractual ser-vices firms.

The DBE program is designed for minority or female owned small busi-nesses; over the last two years, the department has awarded directly or indi-rectly approximately $800 million or 11.40 percent of the total contracting dol-lars to DBEs. Since the inception of the BDI, the department has reserved 260 contracts totaling ap-proximately $86 million and this number is expected to increase significantly over the next year.”

FDOT Secretary Ananth Prasad said, “The depart-ment recognizes that small businesses are the back-bone of Florida’s economy and a vital component in getting Floridians back to work.”

The objective of FDOT’s Business Development Ini-tiative is to help foster the growth of small businesses that contract with the de-partment. Under this ini-tiative, the department re-serves selected contracts for small businesses. The program not only helps to distribute more contract-ing dollars to small busi-nesses but also provides significant opportunities for small businesses to serve as prime contractors with the department instead of as subcontractors. The ultimate goal is for small businesses to grow so they can hire more employees and compete with larger contractors outside of the BDI program.

For more information, visit the Business Devel-opment Initiative link on www.dot.state.fl.us/equa-lopportunityoffice. Inter-ested small businesses can also email suggestions, comments and questions regarding the program to [email protected].

On March 5, Club member/Chaplain Charlotte Sapp was awarded a Lifetime Membership Certificate for the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs Inc. by Chipley Garden Club.

“We are so happy to be able to honor Charlotte’s dedication to our club,” Club President Karen Roland said.

Charlotte retired from teaching elementary school in 1999 and immediately became an active member of Chipley Garden Club.

“Vonceil Coggin was very instrumental in getting me into the club. She told me I would love it, and I do,” Sapp said.

Teaching youth continues to remain Charlotte’s focus. She has taught hundreds of students floral design, painting, crafting, basket weaving and so much more. In addition to her other activities in the club, these days Charlotte is involved in planning for the annual Youth Fair and sharing floral design and the art of dish gardens with students at Kate Smith Elementary School.

“Charlotte has been my mentor for years. She held my hand as I began teaching and encouraged me to join the garden club upon my retirement.

She’s a wonderful friend and a wonderful story teller. ‘I have a story about that’ has been the beginning of many of Charlotte’s real life tales,” Second Vice President/Youth Chair Linda Pigott said.

Several other club members also said, “I’m here because of Charlotte, too,”

Following presentation of the Lifetime Membership certificate, special membership card and a pin bearing the

FFGC logo, Karen Roland read an original poem written in Charlotte’s honor praising her gardening expertise, her willingness to give of herself, her patience and the joy she brings to others.

Community EVENTS

Special to The NewsThe guest speaker

at the regular monthly meeting of Chipley Garden Club on March 5 was Charlie P. Johnston aka “The Amaryllis Man” from Dellwood, Fla., in Jackson County. Mr. Johnston shared his expertise gained during almost seven years of growing amaryllises at his farm.

“We grow between 4,000 to 5,000 plants annually — over 75 different varieties. We also market bulbs and ship seeds worldwide,” Johnston said.

Amaryllises, which bloom during March and April in our area, are a South/Central American native and are poisonous if eaten. They are identifi able by large beautiful fl owers atop a single stem and their large strap-shaped leaves. Using several live specimens, Mr. Johnston said the plant’s lifecycle, harvesting and growing plants from seeds, harvesting bulblets, and how to care for the plant. He also demonstrated proper planting technique. Several photo books showing the blooms of amaryllises grown on his farm were displayed for the club to view.

Following the presentation Mr. Johnston invited the garden club to visit the farm. “During mid-March and April, we should have over 300 amaryllises bloom – it’s a sight to behold,” he said.

After luncheon the regular business meeting was conducted. Second VP/Youth Chair Linda Pigott called the Youth Fair a great success and reminded everyone to start propagating plants

now for the Fall KES visit. Yard of the Month Chair Beth Watford reported March’s award went to the Woodham home at 700 2nd St. First VP/Tea Chair Glenda Wilson reminded members of the English Tea & Garden Walks on May 10. Other reports were given on wildfl owers, the fi eld trip to NDI,

scholarships and upcoming activities.

Club President Karen Roland made a special presentation on behalf of Chipley Garden Club to long-time member Charlotte Sapp. Charlotte was awarded a Florida Federation of Garden Clubs Inc. Lifetime membership in honor of her dedication

to the club and its objectives. Karen also read an original poem written especially for Charlotte.

The next meeting of Chipley Garden Club is April 5. The program will be “One Vase: 52 Different Ways” and will showcase members’ designs created in clear glass column containers. If you would like more information, contact Karen Roland at 638-9968 or email her at [email protected].
