BBB Warns Of Deceptive Football Poster Ads
June 11, 2011
The BBB Northwest Florida has issued a warning about a company soliciting local businesses for high school football posters.
Ossian Enterprises, doing business as Communities Unlimited, LLC, began targeting the area claiming to sell advertising space on “local city guides” that are purportedly to be distributed throughout the community, according to the BBB. Two chambers of commerce whose members were targeted with the solicitations assured BBB Northwest Florida that they had no ties to Communities Unlimited.
Now, Ossian Enterprises is again targeting the community, this time as Ads Sports Inc., selling ads on high school football posters, the BBB said.The emails are vague, stating that there will be “up to 5,000 posters” sent out in September 2011 and that they “are doing all area High Schools.” The emails include the “mockup ad” pictured.
A request from BBB Northwest Florida for additional information about which area high schools Ads Sports Inc. is supporting has not been answered.
The BBB is urging small business owners to use caution when being solicited by individuals selling advertising space. Check past publications and contact local businesses who have already worked with the business in question, the BBB said, and find out exactly what kind of exposure your ad will receive and make sure it’s worth the price. The BBB said that businesses will often shell out big bucks for a small advertisement on a no name online directory or a poorly circulated flyer.
Weekend Gardening: Blueberries
June 11, 2011
Blueberries are ripe for picking. So take the kids on an adventure and enjoy the freshness of local produce by visiting a u-pick farm. U-picks allow visitors to harvest their own fresh fruits and vegetables.
U-pick produce is grown in your own community and is crisp, sweet and loaded with flavor. With fewer than one million Americans now claiming farming as their primary occupation, farmers are a vanishing breed. Local farmers who sell direct to consumers cut out the middleman and get full retail price for their food – which means farm families can afford to stay on the farm, doing the work they love.
U-pick blueberry farms are scattered throughout the North Escambia area. Contact your local Extension Office for u-picks in your area.
Every farm is a bit different. Some have more relaxed rules, others more strict. But at all the farms, remind the kids that plants are living things to be cared for and respected, not abused. The farmer feeds his family and pays his bills from the well-being of these plants! So here are some general farm guidelines:
- Follow all rules posted by owners at their picking locations.
- Look for the check-in and check-out areas. Note whether you will be charged according to weight or volume.
- Health codes usually require no pets in the fields.
- Always call in advance to find out if the fruit/vegetables you want are available, to get directions, to check their opening and closing hours and to ask if children are allowed.
- Walk in the rows, don’t step on plants! Some farmers frown on stepping across rows, even if you do it carefully.
When you arrive at the farm, take some time to explain to your kids how to identify and pick ripe fruit. Select plump, full blueberries with a gray-blue color. A berry with any hint of red isn’t fully ripened. White and green colored blueberries will not ripen after they are picked. Unripe berries should be left on the bush because then they will turn into ripe berries for you to pick when you bring your friends back in a couple of weeks time.
The general rule when it comes to blueberries is “the bigger, the sweeter”. A fully ripe blueberry should easily come loose from the plant. If it takes any appreciable pressure to pick them, the berries aren’t fully ripe. It is best to pick blueberries by gently rolling each one from the cluster with the thumb into the palm of the hand. When picking is done this way, the berries that aren’t ripe will not come loose.
Once picked, don’t place the berries, still warm from the sun, in a closed bag or container. Leave the container open so moisture doesn’t form. Don’t wash the berries until just before using to prevent berries from becoming mushy. Chill berries soon after picking to increase shelf life. If refrigerated, fresh-picked blueberries will keep 10 to 14 days.

Col. Tyron Earl Tisdale
June 11, 2011
Col. Tyron Earl Tisdale (U.S. Army retired), age 90, died at his home in Greenville, Alabama, on Thursday, June 9, 2011.
Saturday, the family received friends from at Dunklin-Daniel Funeral Home in Greenville. Graveside services with full military honors will be held at Memorial Park Cemetery in Auburn, Alabama, at 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 12, 2011, with Dunklin-Daniels Funeral Home of Greenville and Jeffcoat Trant Funeral Home of Auburn directing. Immediately following the service, family and friends are invited to the home of Mrs. Anne May for a reception.
Col. Tisdale was born on December 8, 1920, in McDavid, Florida. He attended Georgia Tech where his participation in ROTC led him to join the Georgia National Guard. He later graduated from the University of Virginia. After completing the Officers Candidate School, Col. Tisdale began an esteemed and decorated career with the U.S. Army that spanned 30 years. A proud patriot and serviceman, he served his country in World War II, Korean Conflict, and the Vietnam War and continued to promote patriotism and allegiance to his country at every opportunity.
After his retirement from the military in 1970, Col. Tisdale relocated to Auburn where he began a second career with the City of Auburn retiring as city manager. After moving to Greenville, Col. Tisdale continued to be very involved in his community and service to others as a Greenville Rotarian that honored him with the distinguished Paul Harris Fellow Award.
He is survived by his wife, Linda Tisdale, of Greenville; daughter-in-law, Jane Tisdale Fox, of Auburn; one grandson, Andrew Tisdale, of Auburn; sister Kate (Norman) Byrd, of Pensacola; brothers, Olin (Clydell) Tisdale, of Lillian; and Wayne (Genny) Tisdale, of Sycamore, AL, and many nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that contributions be made in Col. Tisdale’s honor to The Alger-Sullivan Historical Society, Inc., P.O. Box 1002, Century, FL 32535 or the Greenville Rotary Club, P.O. Box 43, Greenville, AL 36037, both personal passions for Col. Tisdale to which he devoted much interest and time.

Man Hit By Train, Survives
June 10, 2011
A 46-year-old man was struck by a train and severely injured late Thursday night.
The incident involving a CSX train was reported at around 11:29 p.m. near East 9 Mile and 10 Mile roads.
“The victim, a local transient, was said to have been lying on the tracks at the time he was struck,” said Sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Chris Welborn. “He received some significant injuries and was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital where he is expected to recover.”
Deputies say the victim, whose identity was not released, was lying on the tracks when he was noticed by the conductor of the train. The train was immediately put into an emergency stop and the warning horn was activated.
“The conductor did everything he could to avoid this,” said Welborn.
The sheriff’s office offered the reminder that walking, lying or sitting on railroad tracks is not only dangerous, but it is illegal. Those caught doing so could be charged with trespassing.
IRS Revokes Tax Exempt Status Of Hundreds Of Local Organizations
June 10, 2011
The Internal Revenue Service has revoked the tax exempt status of over 250 organizations in the North Escambia area because they did not file legally required annual reports for three consecutive years.
While the IRS says that many of these organizations are defunct, there are some recognizable groups on the list.
The Cantonment Volunteer Fire Department, the Carver Community Center Association in Century, the Jay Volunteer Fire Department, the Nokomis (Ala.) Volunteer Fire Department, the Turtle Point Foundation in Flomaton, the Pine Forest High Quarterback Club and the Escambia County (Fla.) Sheriff’s Auxiliary are among the groups losing tax exempt status on a list announced Thursday by the IRS.
Congress passed the Pension Protection Act (PPA) in 2006, requiring most tax-exempt organizations to file an annual information return or notice with the IRS. For small organizations, the law imposed a filing requirement for the first time in 2007. In addition, the law automatically revokes the tax-exempt status of any organization that does not file required returns or notices for three consecutive years.
The groups that have had their non-profit status revoked cannot appeal the decision, according to the IRS. Instead, they must reapply for tax exempt status.
For several years, the IRS has made an extensive effort to inform organizations of the changes in the law through multiple outreach and education avenues, including mailing more than one million notices to organizations that had not filed. In addition, last year the IRS published a list of at-risk groups and gave smaller organizations an additional five months to file required notices and come into compliance. That list was referenced or published in numerous media outlets, including NorthEscambia.com.
Groups like the chambers of commerce in Century and Jay; the fire departments in McDavid and Cantonment; community centers in Century, Byrneville, Davisville; and many more social, civic and charitable organizations were on a list published last fall by NorthEscambia.com. Many of the groups took notice, completed the necessary paperwork and retained their IRS non-profit status.
“It really turned out to be a pretty easy thing to do,” Margie McCall (pictured) of the Century Chamber of Commerce said. “I was able to do the form in about 15 minutes.”
The following North Escambia area groups have had their tax exempt status revoked, according to a list published Thursday by the IRS. Many are now defunct. In order to determine the tax exempt status of any organization, contact the IRS.

Williams Ditch Fire Burns 3 Acres
June 10, 2011
A brush fire consumed about three acres in the Cottage Hill area Thursday afternoon.
The fire in a wooded area was reported about 4:45 p.m. in the 1100 block of Williams Ditch Road. The fire appeared to be centered around trash that had been dumped down a dirt trail, according to first responders.
Firefighters from the Cantonment and Molino Stations of Escambia Fire Rescue were able to quickly bring the fire under control, while the Florida Division of Forestry used heavy equipment to create a line around the blaze.
There were no structures damaged in the blaze.
