Cliff Ellis to deliver Chipola commencement address Cliff Ellis, head basketball coach at Coastal Carolina University, will deliver the commencement address at the Chipola College graduation ceremony, May 7, at the Dothan Civic Center. An alumnus of Chipola, Ellis was born in Marianna and played on the Chipola golf team in the 1960’s. He is a musician, an author and a gourmet cook. He and his music group, the Villagers, were one of the Southeast’s hottest acts in the mid-1960s, and still perform today. He has published three books - “Zone Press Variations for Winning Basketball,” “The Complete Book of Fast Break Basketball” and “Cliff Ellis: The Winning Edge,” released in 2000. Following the 2014-15 season, Ellis’ 692 victories rank him 20th on the list of all-time career coaching victories in the history of Division I basketball. While at Coastal Carolina, Ellis has won a pair of Big South regular season championships and two conference tournament titles, making him one of only 12 coaches in Division I history to lead four different institutions to the NCAA Tournament. He is also one of two coaches to win championships in both the Atlantic Coast Conference and Southeastern Conference. Ellis is a member of three halls of fame after entering Clemson’s in 2013. He was already part of the Mobile (Ala.) Area Sports and Cumberland College halls of fame. He was also named the recipient of the 2014 Gene Bartow Award, which recognizes those who have made outstanding contributions to the game, on and off the floor. Ellis has compiled a Division I record of 692-435 (.614) and 770-447 (.632) overall and ranks ninth in NCAA Division I wins among active coaches. He is also just one of four coaches in NCAA Division I history to make multiple NCAA Tournament appearances with four separate schools and has been named conference Coach of the Year six times in his career. Over his 40-year coaching career, Ellis has guided his squads to 10 NCAA Tournaments and earned 13 National Invitation Tournament bids. Ellis’ teams have advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament three times: once with Clemson in 1990 and twice with Auburn (1999 and 2003). Ellis is married to the former Carolyn Ratzlaff and they have three children, Chryssa Rutland, Clay and Anna Catherine Moore, and four grandchildren, Hannah Grace and Ellis Rutland and Sarah and Abbey Moore. The Chipola College 2015 Commencement Ceremony is set for Thursday, May 7, at 7 p.m., at the Dothan Civic Center. The address is 126 St. Andrews Street, Dothan, AL, 36303. Graduates may invite an unlimited number of family members and guests to share the event. The ceremony will be broadcast live via internet on USTREAM available at this link: http://www.Ustream.tv/channel/chipolacollege.

BAILEY AND BRYANT DISCUSS ANIMAL PROTECTION AT CHIPOLA Ecosystems, biodiversity, endangered species, protection and preservation were themes of two recent interactive zoological presentations for Chipola Environmental Science. Billy Bailey, Florida Caverns Park Specialist, presented zoological remains to explain concepts of keystone species, niches, adaption, parasitism, habitat destruction. Bailey stressed the importance, and in some cases the perturbation of the organism to the ecosystem. Examples include: beaver keystone species, found in Caverns Park, creating ponds from creeks, thereby increasing the biodiversity; the armadillo, an exotic invasive species, pushing the skunk out of the ecosystem; the Suwanee River Cooter, hunting crustaceans in the ecosystem. Dianna Sue Bryant, Wildlife Rehabilitator and Big Bend Wildlife Sanctuary Volunteer for “Sacred Earth Wildlife Refuge,” also presented information to the students. Bryant brought an Eastern Screech Owl, a Great Horned Owl and a Red-Tailed Hawk, holding the animals on her arm, and teaching the students about their behavior and care. The animals were hit by vehicles, and now partially blind, which prohibits a return to the wild. Dianna recommends contacting local veterinarians who will refer you to her in the case of wild animal injury. Dianna is a protege of Betsy Knight (founder of the Big Bend Wildlife Sanctuary). Dianna is one of five rehabilitators in Florida, and among 1,500 nationwide.
