Dear Editor,While thinking about ris-

ing prices of gasoline thispoem came to me. It isridiculous what big oil com-panies along with the spec-ulators, stock analysts,politicians, and foreigninterests can do with theprice per gallon of gasoline.

It is even worse as tohow we here in America letit happen. We seem to justgo ahead and keep on withour bad driving habits,burning gasoline in ourvehicles just like it is still50¢ a gallon.

This is all happening in atime when the economy isstill in terrible shape.When social security recipi-ents are doing without araise again in 2011, healthcare costs are still rising,along with everything else.

It is time for us to wakeup, and start asking our-selves what we can doabout all this and quit feed-ing the greed of big oil com-panies along with all theseother interests.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Rising gas prices, big oilcompanies out of control

BY KRISTY TERRY

The Big River ValleyHunt, coordinated by theCalhoun County Chamberof Commerce, was heldJan. 6 - 8 and was atremendous success.

Twelve hunters fromacross Florida visitedCalhoun County as theyembarked on two- andthree-day hunts for deerand wild hogs. Of the 12,five were second yearhunters. Three traveledfrom Key Largo, two fromHomestead, two fromOkeechobee, one fromLutz, one from Tampa, onefrom Melbourne, and twolocals.

Hunters arrived onWednesday afternoon, andstarted their huntsThursday. Big Bend

Sporting Goods served asheadquarters as visitorsgathered there to meettheir local volunteer guides.

The DucksUnlimited/ApalachicolaValley Chapter providedbreakfast each morning forhunters. They were alsotreated to a “Big RiverValley Dinner” Fridayevening. Rodney andSherrie Swindle hosted thedinner at their Circle SPlantation with a menuthat included beef brisket,pork, chicken, collardgreens, potato casserole,brown rice, corn salad, andcornbread, all prepared byMike and Lori Halley. Avariety of desserts was pro-vided by the CountryCreamery & Gifts.

Norris Smoke Housewas the processor for the

hunt, and owner Bill Norrisstayed busy. The packagesincluded the opportunity tokill one buck, one doe, andone hog. Over the course ofthe hunt, almost all of thehunters killed at least onething, with several killingmore. Capt. Jeff Pfisterbagged a nice 9-point, andis already planning toreturn in 2012 for the thirdyear in a row.

Each hunter received aregistration bag with itemsdonated by Chamber mem-bers, coupons for discountsat local stores, as well aspromotional materials onCalhoun County. Severalstayed at the Airport Moteland all visited restaurantsin town, as well as shoppedin local stores.

Additional sponsors forthe event were Ducks

Unlimited and Live OakProduction Group. Ofcourse, the hunt wouldn’thave been possible withoutthe generous participationof Neal Land & TimberCompany and Big RiverCypress & Hardwood. PhilMcMillan and HarryRogers were instrumentalin the coordination oflandowners and are respon-sible for making the hunt asuccess. Emory Godwin,Titus Overholt, JimWaldron, and Joe Woodguided hunters, and theevent wouldn’t have beenpossible without them.

The Chamber is proudthat the second Big RiverValley Hunt was a successand is already makingplans for next year’s event,as well as other nature-tourism projects.

poverty line.“This is a tremendous

economic developmentopportunity for Gretna.It’s also an opportunity forus to become a leaderamong small, rural commu-nities by bringing the eco-nomic and recreationalbenefits of a horse trackand equestrian facility to aregion where these activi-ties are extremely popularand will be a catalyst forrural economic develop-ment and growth,” saidGretna Mayor HelenFranks.

Florida has the thirdlargest horse population inthe nation with 500,000horses, trailing onlyCalifornia (1 million) andTexas (700,000).

North Florida, and par-ticularly the Red Hillsregion of North Florida, isan equestrian-rich part ofthe state. It is estimatedthere are between 50,000and 75,000 horses in theNorth Florida, SouthGeorgia region.

“PCI Gaming Authorityhas embarked upon thisendeavor to enable eco-nomic stability and stimu-lus for the City of Gretnaand surrounding communi-ties,’’ said Jay Dorris,President and CEO of PCIGaming Authority.

“The planned facility isgoing to be one with whicheveryone can be proud.Plans and financing are inplace and we will soon bestarting construction”Dorris added.

The horse industry ishighly diverse and econom-ically significant in thenation and increasingly inFlorida. The Florida horseindustry produces $3 bil-lion in goods and servicesannually while the nationalindustry has a $5.2 billionimpact on our state’s econ-omy.

These economic benefitsdo not account for off-sitespending by spectators athotels, restaurants andother businesses surround-ing equine facilities andevents, which results in aneven higher economicimpact.

“Horse racing is an inte-gral and popular part ofFlorida’s equine culturethat has thus far been limit-ed to South and CentralFlorida. Despite the popu-larity of horses and eques-trian activities among resi-dents in North Florida, theregion lacks a state-of-the-

art equestrian facility orhorse track,” said DavidRomanik, president andCEO of Gretna RacingLLC.

“We saw an unmet needin North Florida and want-ed to use our expertise andpassion for horse racing andequestrian activities to cre-ate a gateway communitythat will become a regionaldestination in the Red Hillsand Big Bend region,”Romanik said. “This part-nership with the PoarchCreek Indians and the Cityof Gretna is making thatvision a reality.”

In addition to the eques-trian focus, the site will alsohave a world-class pokerroom.

Comparable pari-mutuel facilities that host ahorse track and poker roomdraw patrons from a mar-ket area that is typicallymore than a one-hour drivetime from the Gretna site.

The press release statedthat this facility is a long-overdue entertainmentvenue and will draw froman estimated 500,000adults over the age of 18that is eligible to playpoker.

“Creek EntertainmentGretna will not only pro-vide an entertainmentvenue for the area, it willalso provide a ripple effectin terms of economic devel-opment for the communi-ty,’’ said Keith Martin,Chairman of the PoarchCreek Indians’ GamingAuthority.

“Our gaming enterprisessupport existing businessesin the area and serve as ameans for other businessesto start. We are excitedabout this endeavor andthe progressive impact itwill have on our neighborshere,” he added.

Currently there arethree operating racetrackand poker rooms inFlorida. These facilitiesemploy more than 1,500full-time employees andgenerate $5.15 million instate and local taxes for thecommunities they serve.

“This project will createan innovative public-pri-vate partnership that willprovide our City with sig-nificant economic benefitsand opportunities,” MayorFranks said.

The Poarch Band ofCreek Indians are descen-dants of a segment of theoriginal Creek Nation,which once covered almost

all of Alabama, Georgiaand North Florida. TheTribe owns gaming proper-ties in Alabama includingWind Creek Casino &Hotel in Atmore, AL,Creek Casino Montgomeryin Montgomery, AL andCreek Casino Wetumpkain Wetumpka, AL as wellas multiple racetracks inAlabama and Florida.

David Romanik andGretna Racing have longsought an opportunity todeliver a state-of-the-artequestrian facility andpoker room, whichembraces the popularity ofequestrian activities in theRed Hill region of NorthFlorida.

Romanik, is an attorneyand gaming consultant spe-cializing in horse racingwho has served as legalcounsel to a number ofpari-mutuel interests inrecent years and is a for-mer president ofGulfstream Park, where heran the most successfulrace meet in the facility’slong history.

In a phone interview,

Jay Dorris stated his organ-ization saw an opportunityin Gretna and GadsdenCounty for this facility.

Other facilities that thecompany own started muchlike the Gretna Park willstart and have continued togrow and Dorris said“hopefully we will see thesame results in Gretna.”

Dorris said that his com-pany focused on service totheir customers and it wasimportant that employeesfelt good about working forthe company.

Concerning the project,Gretna city managerAntonio Jefferson statedthat the project kick-offwas a result of three yearsof hard concentrated efforton the part of the develop-ers, the Gretna City com-missioners and staff todevelop a and create agreat opportunity for localresidents work, live andplay.

At the age of 55, Ronnie“O.B” O’Bryan has done agood bit of living. However,a large part of his life expe-rience came from a placemost would want to forget.

Growing up inEastpoint, Ronnie and hisfour siblings shared timebetween their divorced par-ents. His father, J.W.O’Bryan, and grandpar-ents, Estelle and E.J.,called Blountstown homeso that’s where Ronniespent many a day as ayoung boy. At 16, he decid-ed to ditch school and moveto Blountstown to workwith his dad. Just two yearslater, everything changed.

On September 2, 1973,Ronnie woke up in theFranklin County Jail. “Ithought I was in there forbeing drunk,” he recalls.“Then they told me I wasin there on a first degreemurder charge.”

It turns out Ronnie’suncle’s landlady had beenmurdered. His uncle wasinitially charged, then thefocus turned to Ronnie whohad no memory of the nightbecause he had been drink-ing heavily. He was broughtto trial and found guilty,then sentenced to lifebehind bars with no chanceof parole for 25 years.

He says to this day,many people in FranklinCounty believe he wasframed, but at this point, itdoesn’t matter.

“I was 18 years old

going to a prison, scared todeath. It was terrifying,”says Ronnie. “I fought a lot.The first year in prison, if Ididn’t have a black eye,busted lip or was in lockup,I didn’t feel normal.”

Early on, Ronnie met aguy who would become alifelong friend. DaveManning of Liberty Countywas also behind bars forlife. Both he and Ronniehad issues with drugs andalcohol - which Ronnie sayswas no problem to get inprison. They had a lot incommon and began hang-ing out, then ended up onthe same work squad whenthey were at Cross City.But soon, Ronnie noticed achange in Dave.

“One of Dave’s friendswas going to church and Inoticed Dave going tochurch with this guy,”Ronnie recalls, adding thathe tempted Dave withdrugs, but he had turnedaway from that lifestyle.Dave even invited him tochurch and Ronnie made atrip to the altar, but he justwasn’t ready to change atthat point.

“Prison is Satan’s warcamp,” Ronnie remarks.“There is so much darknessand so much evil in there. Ifa person can be a Christianin there, God really lives inhis heart.”

At one point, Dave wastransferred to Florida StatePrison in Starke. “Whenyou’ve reached there,you’ve reached the bot-tom,” says Ronnie. “Heeven wound up in a cell-

block on death row since noother cells were available.We look back now andknow it was a test.”

Ronnie was soon trans-ferred to UnionCorrectional Institution inRaiford - another toughprison. He was relieved tofind his friend Dave hadrecently been moved there.“He took me under hiswing again,” says Ronnie.“He was still going tochurch. He would literallypray with me and pure cry.But I was living for Satan.”

Over the years, Ronniewas transferred to nineFlorida prisons. And hekept running into Dave.Looking back, he knows itwasn’t a coincidence.

In the mid 1980s,Ronnie found himself head-ed to ACI in Sneads. Hewas thrilled. With no guntowers, he began plottinghis escape. However, whenhe arrived, he found his oldfriend Dave who was work-ing on a ranch crew, ridinghorses and herding cattle ina prison program. He evenlived in an honor dorm.And Dave was still going tochurch. He couldn’t waitfor Dave to invite him.Ronnie practically ran tothe altar after a Sundayservice and gave his life tothe Lord. This time, it wasreal.

His attitude, hislifestyle, everythingchanged. He even prayedand received one of hisgreatest desires: to have hiscustody lowered and get to

work the beef herd pro-gram with Dave. Later, hewas placed in the honordorm program. And beforelong, he found a wife - awoman he had met throughhis brother. The man thatmarried them behind barswas the same chaplain whohad been preaching the dayRonnie was saved and laterbaptized him.

Ronnie says eventhough he backslid now andthen, God gave himstrength to face the chal-lenges and temptationsalong the way. “I alwaystell people, you’ve got to bestronger than your mind.You’ve got to rule yourmind instead of letting yourmind rule you.”

Ronnie got to see Davewalk out of prison a freeman. He eventually wasgranted clemency. ThenRonnie received his owngood news: he was releasedfrom prison Sept. 28, 1999.

Over 11 years later,after visiting many church-es and sharing his testimo-ny, he knew he wanted togo back to the place heonce prayed to escape. Heran into Kay Weed whohelped him get approvedinto the Prison Fellowshipprogram. A week ago, hewent for his first Biblestudy with inmates atLiberty Work Camp.

When asked why he’dwant to go back behindbars he says, “It’s becauseof what Jesus has done inmy heart and life. If He cando it for me, He can do itfor them.”

The Council on Culture& Arts is pleased to presentNatural Awakenings:Paintings by Liu Nan, anexhibition at the ArtportGallery from January 11 –March 21, 2011 as part ofthe Arts in Public Placesprogram.

Born, raised and artisti-cally trained in China, LiuNan is now a Tallahasseeresident. His landscapesinclude familiar scenes fromthe Big Bend Area anddemonstrate the spirit oftraditional Chinese art.Nature has consistentlyserved as the main themein his works and his goal isto promote natural and sim-ple artistic expression. Inthis landscape series of oiland watercolor paintings,Nan seeks to express thejoyous sensations he getsfrom the natural world,especially in undisturbedand undestroyed locales.

“The ‘Sunshine State’

has offered me an entirelynew perspective on thevalue of the untouched andpristine.

Your Florida Pond–Oxygen Levels,Temperature, andFish Kills

Cold winter tempera-tures can cause fish die-offsin Florida’s ponds, estuar-ies, lakes, and rivers. Inlarge natural areas, theseevents are normal and usu-ally do not cause perma-nent damage to existing fishpopulations. In smallerponds, however, fish die-offs can be cause for con-cern to the pond owner. Insome cases cold tempera-ture-related fish kills helplimit the spread of invasive,

non-native fish speciesbecause non-native speciessuch as tilapia are especial-ly susceptible to coldweather.

Temperature-relatedfish kills are most commonin the winter when extend-ed cold can cause watertemperatures to drop. Thecold water can kill fish out-right or may weaken themso that they become moresusceptible to disease.

Cold weather can alsocause a natural processcalled lake or pond-turnover. Turnover hap-pens when cooled surfacewater sinks and mixes withdeeper, oxygen-poor water(like pouring cold milk intoyour hot coffee). This mix-ing, or turnover, with oxy-

gen poor water can causelow oxygen-related fishkills.

Fish need oxygen just aswe do, and they absorboxygen directly from thewater as it passes over theirgills. Oxygen enters thewater primarily by photo-synthesis (from algae andaquatic plants) and theatmosphere (wind mixing).The amount of dissolvedoxygen (DO) in waterdepends on a number offactors, especially watertemperature (cold waterholds more oxygen thanwarm water) and thewater’s biological produc-tivity. For optimum health,most of Florida’s fish need

It was two out of threefor the Tigers last week asthey lost to Holmes Countyon Tuesday, then cameback to defeat both Vernonand Bozeman.

The Tigers traveled toBonifay last Tuesday andwere edged, 77-73.

“We played hard, wejust didn’t close it out to getthe win,” says Coach TonyDavis.

Will Rogers led theTigers with 27 points,including six three-pointers.Paul Mosley followed with19. Nick Martin had 13and P.J. Buggs contributed11.

Next up was Vernon athome on Thursday night.The Tigers came out ontop, 55-36. Rogers led theTigers once again with 14points, including four three-pointers. Buggs followedwith 12 points.

“We played with a lot ofenergy,” Coach Davisremarks. “We were excitedto be back home with ourfans and were able to get akey district win.”

The final game of theweek was on Friday whenthe Tigers hostedBozeman. BHS took thewin, 39-32.

Buggs led with 14points, Rogers had 10, andMosley had nine.

“This was the third

game of the week and wewere kind of dead offen-sively and defensively,”Coach Davis points out.“We just pretty much letthe air out of the ball in thefourth period just to get thewin.”

The Tigers were set totravel to Port St. Joe onTuesday (details unavail-able at press time). BHShosts Graceville Thursdaywith game time at 5:30p.m. for J.V., followed byvarsity at 7. “We needeverybody in CalhounCounty to come out in thegame against Graceville,”says Coach Davis. TheTigers host South Waltonon Friday. Game times are5:30 and 7.


to allow tournament anglers to temporarily possess these fish. Permitted tournament anglers must follow strict permit requirements, including releasing all fish after weigh-in and any dead fish must be donated to charity or research. Tournament angling depends on temporary exemptions to be competitive.

So, for economic and social reasons, exemptions should be continued, since they don’t hurt the resource, com-pared with allowing these same anglers to harvest their catch.

Discontinue tournament permittingMany anglers think it is unjust for tournament par-

ticipants to get even a temporary exemption from desig-nated size limits. Harvest restrictions are set to manage a fishery based on a stated objective. Research from the University of Florida and elsewhere has shown that tour-nament-associated mortality could harm a fishery and prevent managers from meeting objectives. Tournament-associated mortality has been found to average 26-28 percent, and modeling effects of this mortality show that,under certain circumstances, it could affect the sizes of fish available for anglers. Thus, all anglers should follow size restrictions to ensure objectives are met.

Given that both sides have valid points, the FWC con-tinues to review the impact of tournaments. It studied them in the 1980s and again in the ‘90s and found no sig-nificant impacts. An FWC subteam is looking at the tour-nament issue again, as is its technical assistance group of stakeholders representing various groups that use these fisheries or are affected by management decisions.

The FWC’s No. 1 objective is to ensure sustainable bass populations. Tournaments won’t affect that, but they could alter the quality of a local fishery. Moreover, this is a resource-allocation issue, so sharing of public resources in an equitable manner and economic and social consider-ations need to be weighed.

An FWC team is endeavoring to think outside the box and consider testing alternative solutions, at least for smaller qualifying tournaments, such as digital tourna-ments. As an example, with smart-phone technology, fish can be photographed on official rulers, date-stamped and the location plotted with GPS accuracy, enabling the angler to release the catch immediately.

On a preliminary basis, the team identified five main issues that could be addressed through FWC efforts:

1. Tournament mortality;2. Issues with moving fish from one water body

to another for weigh-in;3. Crowding/pressure (at access points and on the lake);4. Data collected from tournaments;5. Education.Recommendations have not been finalized, and people

can still contribute by completing a brief survey about tournament bass fishing at www.surveymonkey.com/s/BBMP_tournaments.

FISH BUSTERS’ BULLETIN

January 2011

By Bob Wattendorf

The future of bass tournamentsIn surveying anglers about a proposed Long-term

Black Bass Management Plan, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) Division of Freshwater Fisheries Management learned that people have opposing views about fishing tournaments.

Ray Scott, founder of the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society, brought a network of large, competitive bass tournaments to reality and attracted millions of anglers to the sport, enhancing their understanding and enjoy-ment of what has become America’s most-sought recre-ational fish. Along the way, tournament groups helped promote catch-and-release fishing and educated the pub-lic about conservation issues. However, many anglers feel tournaments exploit the resource and cause congestion at ramps. They are also concerned with bass that die after release and, especially, the impact of interfering with bed-ding bass.

One angler said tournaments shouldn’t be continued if they don’t overwhelmingly benefit the state. Someone else held the opposite view: that high-profile tournaments draw worldwide attention to Florida’s fisheries, boost local economies, and provide great public relations to the bass fishing Florida offers.

A third survey participant said that during and after weigh-ins, bass are kept out of the water far too long. “Go to a tournament site the next morning and look at all the dead bass floating in the water,” the participant said.

FWC staff, in drafting the Black Bass Management Plan, is considering another aspect of holding tourna-ments: the pros and cons of allowing bass tournaments to be temporarily exempt from size limits. A summary of those discussion points are provided below.

Continue tournament permittingCompetitive bass tournament angling is very popular

in Florida and has profound economic impacts locally and statewide. For example, the 2005 BassMaster Classic on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes generated an estimated $25 million for the community during the three-day event. Some premier largemouth bass fisheries in Florida (e.g., Istokpoga, Orange, Walk-in-Water) have protective slot limits (15-24 inches) that would restrict tournament anglers from maximizing their daily weight.

Because most tournaments, including small clubs,penalize anglers for dead fish, tournament anglers try to take very good care of their fish. Therefore, the FWC pro-vides exemptions to size restrictions (but not bag limits)

DO concentrations of atleast 5 parts per million (or5 milligrams per liter or 5mg/L). Fish can toleratebrief periods of reducedoxygen, but if DO levelsdrop below 2 mg/L, theycan’t always recover; and ifconcentrations fall below 1mg/L, fish begin to die.Oxygen-related fish killsusually affect many differ-ent sizes and species of fish,whereas cold temperature-related fish kills tend toaffect only one or twospecies. If it is an oxygen-related fish kill, large fishtend to be affected first.Small fish can be seen gulp-ing or gasping for air at thesurface.

Fish diseases, parasites,and stresses from poorwater quality, overcrowd-ing, and human impactscan also lead to fish kills,but the reduction of dis-solved oxygen in a waterbody is the most commoncause of fish kills in Florida

throughout the year. Aerating your pond is

one way in which to reducethe chances or severity of afish kill.
