The Jefferson Commissionrecently approved a resolutionallowing the Escambia CountyHousing Finance Authority(ECHFA) to slightly modify itsmortgage loan bond program formoderate, middle and low-incomefirst-time homebuyers here.
The action followed thecommission last year authorizing theECHFA to operate in JeffersonCounty.
The ECHFA, which serves 19Florida counties, offershomeownership programs tospecified first-time homebuyers andformer homeowners in an effort toalleviate the out-of-pocket expensesassociated with house purchases thatoften prevent the purchases.
The organization also assistsdevelopers of multi-family housingcommunities financially through theissuance of tax-exempt revenuebonds.
Randy Wilkerson, who appearedbefore the commission on Thursdayevening, Dec. 20, explained thereason for the modification beingsought. He said the ECHFA had
been using mortgage-backedsecurities to finance its programs,but now that interest rates wererising, it wanted to return to bonds.He said that Capital City Bank, thegroup's primary lender in this area,was requesting the change.
“This will allow us to controlthe interest so that we can betterhelp our homebuyers,” Wilkersonsaid.
He assured commissioners thatthe program came at no cost orliability to the county.
Wilkerson said his company hadbeen around since 1982 and givenout $147 million in mortgages since2012.
The ECHFA, he said, had itsgreatest volume of business in itshome area, the Escambia Countyregion. But he said the Leon Countyregion, which included JeffersonCounty, was the second most active,with about $40 millions inapplications.
Wilkerson estimated thatJefferson County accounted forabout $10 or $12 million of the LeonCounty region's applications.

Happy New Year!
I live in the county and pay taxes. Residences who pay taxes for the schoolboard are getting the short end of the stick.
How in the world can a nonfunctioning group who have no legitimatepurpose in the running of the school system when the state had to bring in acharter school to bring the quality of the education to somewhere between a D &F.
The proposal to lease the old school property for $1.00 per year must comefrom the minds of recent graduates of our old school system. I wonder if theyeven thought about zoning requirements, health, sanation, parking, deferedmaintenance or future maintenance. Did they think of how they are ripping offthe tax payers.
I would suggest declaring the property surplus, get inspections and put theproperty up for sale.
We should also find new candidates for the school board next election.

In a report that was recently released byZendrive, an analytics group that strives tomake roads safer through transperancy ofdata, the State of Florida received a negativereview regarding the safety of the roadsaround Florida’s schools.
Out of 51 states, Florida ranked 50, theonly state with a higher amount of dangerousdriving in school zones was California.
In addition to grading the states,Zendrive also took a look at the countieswithin each state, and on a local level,Jefferson County was graded ratherfavorably.
Out of the 67counties in Florida,Jefferson County was only #3 on the list —with Gilchrist and Dixie Counties being theonly two counties that ranked better in therealm of safety.
Jefferson Somerset was noted as beingmore safe for students who were beingpicked up and dropped off, when comparedto Jefferson County’s only other school,Aucilla Christian Academy.
To gather the data that made upZendrive’s report, the analytics groupexamined 125,703 schools 3,094 counties,drove through and analyzed 10.5-billionmiles within school areas, and included 9.1
million anonymous individual drivers in thestudy.
The group’s analysis focused on variousunsafe habits practiced by drivers on theroads around schools, such as using a phoneor hand-held device while driving, speeding,rapid acceleration, and hard braking.
Research for the report was gatheredduring April of 2018, and while the analysisspanned all hours throughout the day, theresearchers especially analyzed dangerousdriving behaviors during the peak times forschool drop offs (7 to 8 a.m.) and pickups (3to 6 p.m.)

HOMEOWNERSfrom page 1programs it did because it was a volumesoperation, having a presence in 19counties, which added up. A singlecounty such as Jefferson didn't have thevolume to offer similar programs, he said.
Wilkerson described his organizationas working behind the scenes. He said toqualify for the programs, individualsapplied to the bank and had to meet aminimum credit score and otherstandards.
He cited the default rate for hisorganization as very low – about twopercent, he said.
Wilkerson said there was littledownside to the programs that hisorganization offered. And the upside, hesaid, was that his organization providedbuyers with the down payment, anobstacle that often defeated first-timehomebuyers.
Wilkerson said his organization'shousing program nicely complementedthe better known SHIP, a program thatJefferson County offers and that likewisehelps low-and-moderate income first-time homebuyers.
“Our income limits are higher thanSHIP's,” Wilkerson said. “If someoneapplies for SHIP and they're disqualifiedbecause they're over the income limit,they have another option with us. So, thetwo programs work really well together.”
The ECHFA describes its mission ashelping to alleviate the shortage ofaffordable homes that are available tomoderate, middle and low-incomeindividuals. It also makes availablecapital for the construction, purchase,reconstruction or rehabilitation for saidincome levels at interest rates that areaffordable.

Year-end: Put This Year's InvestmentPerformance in Perspective
This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.
Edward Jones, its employees and financial advisors cannotprovide tax or legal advice. You should consult your attorney
or qualified tax advisor regarding your situation.
How can you assess your investment portfolio’sperformance in 2018? The year was full of wild swings inthe financial markets, so your own results may well havebounced around quite a bit, too. But you can still get a clearpicture of how you did if you keep your investments’ returnsin the proper perspective – by making sure your expectationsare relevant, realistic and reviewed.
Let’s look at how these terms can apply to a meaningfulevaluation of your investment progress:
Relevant – Many investors compare their portfolioreturns to a popular market index, such as the S&P 500. Butthis comparison is not really valid for a variety of reasons.For one thing, indexes are typically not diversified acrossdifferent types of investments – the S&P 500, for instance,only tracks large U.S. companies. But your portfolio shouldconsist of a broad range of investments: domestic andinternational stocks, bonds, mutual funds, governmentsecurities and so on, appropriate for your goals and risktolerance. Also, your portfolio’s performance will be affectedby your contributions and withdrawals, while market indexreturns are not. So, instead of measuring your results againstan index – and possibly worrying about underperformance –you’re better off establishing relevant expectations of yourinvestment returns, based on your specific goals. So, forexample, if you want to retire at age 62, you’ll need to knowthe rate of return you need to achieve this goal – and thencompare that desired return with your actual results.
Realistic – Ideally, of course, you’d like really highreturns with really low risk – but that’s really not feasible.To get high returns, you’ll need to invest aggressively, whichmeans you’ll need your portfolio to be heavily weighted instocks. However, stocks are also riskier than moreconservative investments, such as bonds or governmentsecurities. So, you’ll need to be realistic in what you cananticipate from your portfolio. You can shoot for high returnsand accept the higher level of risk, or you can lower yourexpectations in exchange for greater stability.
Reviewed – The performance of the financial markets– and also your own portfolio – will fluctuate from year toyear. Consequently, it’s important to review your portfolio’sresults and the progress you’re making toward your goals ona regular basis, possibly with the help of a financialprofessional. In these reviews, you may conclude that you’redoing fine, or you might discover that you need to rebalanceyour portfolio by realigning your investments with yourgoals and risk tolerance, or perhaps make other adjustments– such as changing the amount you invest – to get you backon track. In addition, you may even need to re-evaluate thesegoals in response to changes in your life – a new job,marriage, new child, and so on – as these changes couldaffect the rate of return you need from your investments.
As you look back on 2018, and look forward to 2019and beyond, take a holistic approach to how you evaluateyour investments’ performance. By looking for relevance,being realistic about what you can expect, and reviewingyour portfolio in the context of your goals, risk tolerance andchanging circumstances, you can gain a thoroughunderstanding of where you are, where you want to go – andhow you can help yourself get there.

Ashley HunterECB Publishing, Inc.It’s been a bit of a rocky
start for the Jefferson CountyTigers basketball team.
The season-opening gamefor the team was held onNovember 26 when the teamtraveled to Leon County toface the Leon Lions.
The two big cats clashed,with ultimately the Lionscoming out ahead of the Tigerswith a 21 point lead by thefinal buzzer when thescoreboard showed that theTigers had climbed to 46points while the Lions led thegame with 67 points.
The next day, the Tigersconfronted the BrookwoodWarriors on the opposingteam’s turf and fell again withyet another 21 point differenceas the Thomasville schoolscored 71 points to the Tigers’50.
It was a third loss for theTigers when the JeffersonCounty team faced theCrosswood AcademyScorpions (out of Quincy)during the Tigers’ first homegame of the season.
The Tigers’ fight againstthe Scorpions yielded a bitmore success, as the Tigersonly lagged behind sevenpoints during the 49-42 finalscore.
On December 4, theTigers faced HamiltonCounty’s Trojans and scoredthe first win of the season afterpulling ahead by one pointagainst the away team, leavingbehind a final score of 69 tothe Trojans’ 68.
Riding on the thrill fromtheir first win, the Tigerspersevered against the TaylorCounty Bulldogs and pulled a81-77 win over the Perry teamduring the December 5 awaygame.
Victory can be short-lived,however, as the Tigers fellduring their December 6 gameagainst Wakulla’s War Eagles.The game was tight, as theTigers fought hard and onlyfell behind two points duringthe game against the WarEagles, leaving the game witha 60-58 loss.
On December 11, theTigers went head to head withtheir local rival, the MadisonCounty Cowboys. The gamewas held on the Cowboys turf,and the Tigers fell heavily,with a 27-point differencebetween the two teams’ finalscores by the end of the game.The Tigers returned home,aching from a 70-43 loss tothe Cowboys.
The next three gameswould be a series of losses asthe Tigers faltered against theGodby Cougars (94-45), theMaclay Marauders (62-61)and the Highland ChristianAcademy Eagles (79-59).
On December 18,however, the Tigers wouldclaim another victory afterbeating back the LafayetteHornets during a home game
against the Mayo, FL. team.It was the perfect game for
the Tigers to close on beforegoing onto their Christmas andNew Year break, as the Tigersfinished out the game with an86 point lead to the Hornet’s72 points.
At the end of the firstquarter, the Tigers and theHornets were matched evenlywith 20-20 points per team.
During the second quarterof the game, the Tigers pulledahead, scoring 26 while theHornets only achieved 18points before the end of thesecond quarter.
The third quarter was theonly portion of the gamewhere the Hornets outpacedthe Tigers, but only barely -the Tigers scored 14 pointsduring the third quarter incomparison to the Hornet’s 15points.
In the final and fourthquarter of the game, the Tigersagain squashed the Hornets,scoring 26-19.
Allen Washington scoredeight points, DamariusAlexander scored 14 points,Liroy Travis scored twopoints, Calvin Alexanderscored 10 points, JaQuanCoasey scored 17 points,Anthony Seaton scored threepoints, and the game’s starathlete, Detrevian Nealyscored a total of 32 points.

From the Pulpit...New Possibilities
It's fun to play with all the brand-newpossibilities open to us on January 1. Go jogging
on January 1, and you'veexercised every day this year.You come down to breakfast andcan truthfully announce, "I'm sohungry, I feel as if I haven't eatensince last year!" Get throughlunch without eating potato chipsor a candy bar, and this yearreflects a whole new healthy and
perfectly-kept diet regime. So far this year, perhaps you have never
cussed at someone, never yelled at the kids, neverforgotten to floss, never thrown your dirty clotheson the bathroom floor and never forgotten to readthe Bible in the morning!On January 1 our whole life can be
transformed. For one day at least, all our goodintentions can be jump-started, and all our badhabits can be unplugged. At least for a few hours(or minutes?), the year is a perfect reflection ofour best self.But January 1 is followed by January 2 and
January 3. Soon we will opt for staying in a cozybed a few more minutes rather than plunging outinto the cold on that jog. Pretty soon candywrappers will start appearing in our desk draweragain. By the 4th or 5th, we will surely have beenaggravated enough at a bad driver or frustratingsituation to have unsanctified thoughts. By the 7th,our socks are back on the bathroom floor and ourdental floss is gathering dust. By the 10th, we fallasleep before we can even get the Bible open. For all but a few of us, most New Year's
resolutions get packed away with the last of theChristmas decorations. The problem with mostresolutions is that we resolve to make changes inour lifestyles, but miss restructuring our lives andchanging the paradigms by which we live. The ultimate New Year's resolution does not
challenge us to cut fat grams, or quit smoking orget to aerobics class twice a week. The ultimateresolution a Christian can make is to live in thelight of divine intentions, not human inventions.The New Year's resolution to end all resolutions isto make it our business to be a part of God'sbusiness.What’s God's business? Transformation. An
electrical transformer takes high voltage andtransforms it into energy that we can use in oureveryday lives. Without a transformer, there couldbe no light in the darkness, no safety in the storm.At Bethlehem, God came to us and gave us Jesusthe Christ, who transforms in His life the love andpower of God into the impulses of grace andsalvation that the world desperately needs.I believe that every year that God gives us on
this earth is to be a year where we are asproductive as we can be for His work and aspleasing as we can be for His glory. I believe thelonger we live the more we realize just howfleeting these years are and just how important it isto maximize the potential of each year for beingwhat we ought to be and doing what we ought todo.A fresh New Year lies unblemished before us.
Our life, our commitment to the ultimateresolution can help transform the world throughthe love of God experienced through Christ in us.

The internet is a valuable toolthat can benefit kids in theclassroom and beyond. But asparents know, the internet also canbe a danger to youngsters.
As hard as parents may try togovern their childrens' internetusage, kids' curiosity oftencompels them to go online whenparents aren't keeping watch.
Parental controls are a greatway to protect youngsters whilethey're online. Setting up suchcontrols may vary depending onthe type of devices kids use, andthe following guide can helpparents whose children usepopular Android, Amazon Fire andiOS devices, especially afterChristmas when these devicesmay be new for everyone.
AndroidThe parental controls on
Android devices allow moms anddads to restrict access to varioustypes of content, includingtelevision shows and movies,
games and apps. The Family Linkapp, which can be downloadedthrough the Google Play store,enables parents to track their kids'online usage and even set uplimits on how much time they canspend online each day, as well asmonitor the location of the deviceand when it is on. When using theFamily Link app, parents willneed to create a separate Googleaccount for their children.
Amazon FireAmazon Fire is another
popular, user-friendly tablet thatmany children use. Each Firedevice comes with FreeTime built-in. FreeTime bans advertisementsand restricts purchases so kidscannot spend mom and dad'smoney without permission. Inaddition, FreeTime allows parentsto restrict content, ensuring kidswill only be able to see contentapproved by their parents. Adultsalso can set up time restrictions tolimit the amount of time their kids
spend online, and they can evenprevent access to certain activities,including video games.
AppleThe iOS is an operating
system for mobile devicesmanufactured by Apple. TheScreen Time function on iOSdevices allows parents to restrictthe use of and downloading ofcertain apps, including those built-in on iOS devices. Parents canspecify which websites theirchildren are allowed to visit,preventing them from visitingsites that kids should not see.Screen Time also allows parents toblock purchases made throughiTunes, ensuring kids won't runrampant spending money onmusic, television shows andmusic.
Parental controls can helpparents' monitor their youngsters'tablet usage and protect them fromvisiting websites designed foradults.
