A Superior Air Conditioning Company: Vets Helping Vets & First Responders

September 15, 2021

PCB Chamber Valued Member Spotlight

For years Jimy Thorpe had felt the urge to give back. A veteran, Jimy had served as a young man in the U.S. Army for eight years and had always held the highest regard for the men and women who serve our country and keep us safe. This group also includes first responders – the men and women who keep our communities safe. So how would he give back? In 2014, he created the tagline “Vets Helping Vets” – later elevated to “Vets Helping Vets & First Responders” – and decided to start giving what he had to give: HVAC units.
Jimy owns A Superior Air Conditioning Company, a local business he launched in 2003.

In the beginning, Jimy and his team decided to give away eight units per year. Vets and first responders were encouraged to apply online at ASuperiorAC.com; the giveaway was open to all who have served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and all first responders including EMT/Medics, Police, Sheriffs and Fire Fighters. American Legion Post 392 in Panama City met and voted on all submissions each quarter, selecting one veteran in need and one first responder in need to be awarded the units.

In 2015 the giveaway began taking the form of a quarterly appreciation lunch at Harley-Davidson of Panama City Beach… local musician Neal James opened the lunches with the National Anthem and played background music while Texas Roadhouse catered. The first event hosted around 40 guests and several local businesses co-sponsored. The next lunch brought in a few more guests and sponsors, and the Vet Center and other veteran-related organizations joined in. As word continued to spread, the guest list grew. By Fall 2017 the event moved to Texas Roadhouse and it’s been there ever since, now maxing out the restaurant at 380+ guests.

But Jimy still wanted to reach and help more veterans and first responders. In November 2019 Pastor Dave of Faith Assembly Church in Miramar Beach (affectionately known as “The Rock & Roll Church”) invited Jimy to launch a quarterly appreciation lunch there, thus reaching vets and first responders in the Walton/Okaloosa area. The appreciation lunch has taken place there ever since, slowly growing in attendance and giving away one HVAC unit per quarter, for a total of 12 HVAC units given away per year.

“I feel that giving back to veterans and first responders is like taking the time to help my father,” says Jimy, whose father served in the U.S. Marines. “It’s something that comes second nature; it’s instinctive and something that’s driven in me.”

Please help Jimy and his team spread the word to the Vets and First Responders that you know. The next two Veterans & First Responders Appreciation Lunches take place in October. The Walton-Okaloosa Lunch takes place on Tuesday, October 12 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Faith Assembly Christian Church (AKA The Rock & Roll Church), 306 South Geronimo Street, Miramar Beach, FL 32550. The Bay County Lunch happens on Tuesday, October 19 at Texas Roadhouse in Pier Park North. Vets and First Responders may register to win an HVAC unit at ASuperiorAC.com.

Center for the Arts Opens Two New Exhibitions in September

September 15, 2021

The Panama City Center for the Arts opened three new exhibitions on September 3, with F/Stop Photography Competition and Exhibition, as well as work by local artists Michele Kimbrough, and Kelly Smith Dyer. The exhibitions will be on display until Saturday, September 25.

The Higby Gallery will be closed for the month as the Center for the Arts staff prepares for an immersive October exhibition, an experience in the Spider Cave.

“Our F/Stop exhibition is one of the most interesting exhibitions of the year,” said Jayson Kretzer, executive director of Bay Arts Alliance. “Every year we get to see where our community has been visiting and what they’ve been up to. It’s like a family photo album on the wall, full of great memories.”

The F/Stop Photography Competition and Exhibition is now in its 33rd year (including the years in which the competition was named Faces and Facets). It is open to residents of all ages throughout Northwest Florida. There are six categories for the adults—nature, people, architecture, abstract/altered, landscape, and traditional—and a special category for youth photographers.

This year’s judge is local photographer and artist, Bonnie Tate-Woodby. Bonnie Tate-Woodby is a photographer and the owner of The Light Room in downtown Panama City. Bonnie studied creative writing and photography at Florida State University and later received an MFA in photography at the University of Memphis. She has worked in several areas including portrait photography, fine art, and as a photography instructor at Gulf Coast State College and the former Visual Arts Center of Northwest Florida. In 2017 Bonnie channeled her passion for the art of photography into The Light Room, a gallery, classroom, and studio.

This month in the Miller Gallery, artist Michele Kimbrough’s work will be on display in a show titled, “Crucian Carnival Series.”

Michele Kimbrough started pursuing art as a profession in 2001. She has always created, but her first watercolor class in 1996 helped her to define which medium she wanted to pursue. “Most of my work comes from my own photography,” said Michele, “Over the years I’ve come to call my artwork ‘Celebrating the American Dream’ because everything I’ve created is about our current lives.”

Her work is anchored in realism but more stylized, and she used one of two techniques to achieve this current body of work. Much of Kimbrough’s work is a stylized realism in watercolor or fluid acrylics, or she uses another technique called paint pouring where the primary 3 colors are poured onto raised paper, and masking fluid is used to preserve the whites and lightest areas.

The experience and inspiration behind this exhibition was a visit that Michele and her husband took to St. Croix in January, 2017 during the annual Christmas parade. Michele stated, “this series enabled me to develop a portraiture style of the Crucian Carnival that I have never really focused on. I feel like I have arrived at the right time where my art has matured greatly since the past five years and I hope that others will enjoy my work.”
Before leaving the Center for the Arts, be sure to browse the gift shop and cafe where artist Kelly Smith Dyer’s work will be featured.

Kelly Smith Dyer was born in Somers Point, New Jersey before moving to Panama City in 1989. She uses modern cross stitch and embroidery techniques to create introspective mixed media pieces centering around the emotional journey of her life, pulling from the meditative qualities of thread art and the healing powers of creativity.

Kelly rediscovered stitching about a decade ago, falling in love with its peaceful process, as well as the quirkiness of using an ancient craft in a new, modern way. It became her way of coping through (and then healing from) trauma.

When all things in her life were falling apart at once — in her home, her body and her town — she found refuge in surrounding herself in art by volunteering with local community arts metropolis Floriopolis and its eclectic group of artists during her brain surgery recovery. Through that, she found her creativity again.

This is Kelly’s debut exhibition. It offers a glimpse into how she used thread art to heal during a time of extreme emotional and physical chaos; her marriage ending, her life-saving brain surgery & recovery, Hurricane Michael, and the pandemic — to find herself in a place of sustainable happiness that she had never known.

“There is something poetic in the action of embroidery itself,” said Anastasia Dengerud, exhibition coordinator at the Center for the Arts, “Kelly Smith expresses that poetic nature endowed with her own experience, making beautiful and personal artwork — everyone can enjoy it.”

The Center for the Arts will be open from 10am–5pm, Tuesday–Friday, and 10am–3pm, on Saturdays.

All visitors to the Center for the Arts are asked to wear masks inside the building to protect the staff and other visitors.

The Living is Good, Inside and Out

September 15, 2021

By Kim Brazell, Marketing Director, Flooring Depot

Fall in Florida means milder temperatures and more outdoor living. Is your outdoor space ready to entertain this season or does it need work? If you want to renovate, build, clean up or create an outdoor space, you aren’t alone.

In a 2021 Houzz & Home study, the home renovation platform surveyed 70,000 respondents in the United States. The survey found that home renovations increased during 2020, which is really no surprise because of the pandemic, but the survey also found that outdoor projects saw a relatively large increase going up by six percentage points from the previous year. In addition, the study found that homeowners spent 25 percent more on porch and deck upgrades.

Outdoor spaces are now even more valuable to homeowners—not just economically, but after being sent home to work, and kids for school, outdoor home spaces are now significant spaces for entertainment, relaxation and recreation. Creating an outdoor living space essentially adds usable square feet to your home and does increase your home’s resale appeal. It means you are creating a unique entertaining and relaxing space that is tailor-made for you and your family. The sky really is the limit when it comes to envisioning your outdoor lifestyle.

Tips on Picking the Perfect Outdoor Tile
So how do you even begin if you’ve never done an outdoor space before? First, think about how you want to live in and use the space. Do you want to grill or chill or possibly both? Do you dream about lazy Saturday afternoons watching the game on a big screen on your covered patio?

Secondly, make sure your space is an adequate size for how you want to use it. If it already exists and you’re just updating, then a lot of those decisions are already made for you.

Thirdly, start with the floors. A Flooring Depot customer said it best in the showroom the other day when she said, “the floors of any space are so important because everything else is designed around them.” That statement is very true. The floors—color, pattern, durability—do drive everything else in the space.

Is your space exposed to the elements or is it covered? Make sure you are picking not only for beauty, but also durability. Tile manufacturers make a number of beautiful products for use outdoors. Our recommendation is to go with porcelain tile or porcelain pavers.

“Porcelain products are very durable and can withstand the elements in Florida,” says Kristen Carter, sales manager at Flooring Depot of Panama City. “Both porcelain tile and pavers come in a variety of sizes and colors and are low maintenance, stain resistant, durable, and slip, UV, freeze, and thaw resistant.”

Finally, one of, if not the most important, aspects of choosing an outdoor floor is the Dynamic Coefficient of Friction, or DCOF. The DCOF is a measurement of how much friction is present on level, wet floors when they are walked on. This rating helps to decide if a tile surface is likely to cause a fall or slip, says Carter.

“Basically, this is how slip resistant the product is. The higher the rating the better and safer the product is. Here in Florida, we have those afternoon showers pop up almost daily, so you want to ensure that your outdoor area is always safe to walk on. If the rating isn’t high enough, you aren’t going to use the space because you’re going to be afraid to fall or that your guests will.”

Porcelain tiles or pavers can be used on almost all surfaces—grass, sand, dirt, and concrete with the right prep. It’s a fairly quick and easy process to install them, and we have all the supplies to help you do it right.

“There’s a wide array to choose from,” says Carter. “Wonderful colors and textures that will help you create an outside space that fits your style, lifestyle and entertainment goals—giving you years of wonderful memories in the perfect space.”

Flooring Depot of Panama City has the largest showroom and inventory selection of flooring in Bay County. Stop by the showroom at 1310 W. 15th Street, Panama City, and let us help turn your home into your dream home.

What Does Proper Hydration Do For You?

September 15, 2021

By Kay Leaman, HealthyDay HealthyLife

We’ve all heard that we need to drink a lot of water every day with varying opinions as to how much that should be. So, what does drinking water do for us?

Water is used by every cell, organ and tissue that makes up the body and nearly all of the major systems in the body depend on it. It is also the medium for most chemical reactions in the body, especially those metabolic reactions involved in energy production. It’s necessary for all digestion and absorption functions, and lubricates mucous membranes in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. It also:

• Transports oxygen, nutrients and waste in and out of the cells
• Regulates body temperature
• Moistens tissues such as mouth, eyes and nose
• Protects body organs and tissue
• Serves as a cushioning component between joints, in the spinal cord and in the brain
• Lessens the burden on the kidneys and liver by flushing out waste products
• Carries nutrients and oxygen to cells
• Helps dissolve minerals and other nutrients to make them accessible to the body
• Helps prevent constipation
• Composes 75% of our brain, 83% of our blood, 75% of our muscles and 22% of our bones

Our bodies lose water through breathing, sweating and digestion. And, when our sugar levels are high (what are we eating?) the body needs a lot of water to leave via the kidneys (ratio of 6 molecules of water for every molecule of sugar). If water is not being drunk, the body’s cells are being used to compensate and dehydration sets in. Signs of dehydration are:

• Feeling thirsty (Sometimes when you’re feeling hungry, your body is really saying I’m thirsty.)
• Skin looks dull and wrinkles and fine lines are more apparent
• Tired or sleepy, dry mouth
• Decreased urine output
• Headaches and/or dizziness

The current trend for how much we should drink is half our body weight. However, if you’re a very active person (exercising, playing sports, running, hiking, etc.) your intake should increase. And, coffee, tea and other beverages made with water should not be counted toward your daily intake. These drinks are not recognized by the body as water and are not processed the same way water is.

60-80 ounces is a good range. (Urine should be light yellow to clear when you’re hydrated.) To increase your intake, start with one extra glass a day and increase it every week or so until you reach your goal. (Take time to measure how much water your favorite glass holds.) Let’s say your glass holds 10 oz. and your target is 70 oz. You’ll need to drink seven glasses each day. A great reminder is to place seven rubber bands at the top of your glass. Every time you empty the glass move a rubber band to the bottom. This visual lets you know whether you’re drinking water or not. (I drink a 12 oz. glass of water as soon as I get up which makes my goal much easier.)

If you’re one of the many people who don’t really like water, consider purchasing a diffuser bottle. This allows you to add flavor by adding berries, melons, lemons, limes, etc. to the water. Play with mixing different flavors to find your favorite.

As with any lifestyle change, consistency is key and progress (smaller steps toward your goal over time) can produce amazing results.

Let’s Get Growing with Julie: Butterfly Gardening is More Than Milkweed and Monarchs

September 15, 2021

By Julie McConnell, UF/IFAS Extension Bay County

Late summer is a great time to observe butterflies visiting gardens in Northwest Florida. Monarchs are probably the most recognized butterfly migrating through, but don’t fixate on only catering to this species. It’s important to make your landscape attractive to a variety of butterflies and other wildlife, which will also benefit monarch butterfly populations.

Butterfly larvae (caterpillars) have specific dietary needs which limits the plants they can feed on for growth and survival during this stage of life. By providing multiple larval host plants you will encourage a variety of butterflies to visit your garden. Below are examples of larval host plants for common butterflies in our area:

Plant / Butterfly Larvae
• Frogfruit / Phaon crescent, common buckeye
• Passionflower / Gulf fritillary, variegated fritillary, zebra longwing
• Sunshine mimosa / Little yellow
• Milkweed / Monarch
• Elm / Question mark
• Sweetbay magnolia / Tiger swallowtail
• Redbud / Henry’s elfin
• Tulip poplar / Tiger swallowtail
• Parsley, dill, fennel / Black swallowtail
• Wax myrtle / Redbanded hairstreak
• Oaks / Hairstreaks, skippers

Also critical but often overlooked is the need for flowering plants throughout the growing season. Butterflies expend a lot of energy flying around looking for mates and larval host plants, so it is important to offer multiple sources of nectar. In addition to the obvious food value offered by a diverse landscape, butterflies also require shelter to escape the elements and hide from predators. This can be accomplished by incorporating different levels of plants such as groundcovers, perennials, shrubs, and trees in your butterfly garden. A list of good nectar sources is below:

Plant Size
(low -under 3’, medium 3-6’, tall 6’ +)
• Beach sunflower, Medium
• Blackeyd susan, Low
• Blue porterweed, Medium
• Butterfly weed, Low
• Buttonbush, Tall
• Coreopsis, Low
• Cutleaf coneflower, Medium
• Firebush, Medium
• Gaillardia, Low
• Glossy abelia, Medium
• Pentas, Low
• Plumbago, Medium
• Redbud, Tall
• Scarlet hibiscus, Medium
• Stokes aster, Low
• Swamp sunflower, Medium
• Vitex, Tall
• Wild azalea, Medium
• Zinnia, Low to medium

When enticing butterflies to your garden remember that caterpillars will eat the larval host plants, so be sure your expectations are able to tolerate plant damage. Limit the use of pesticides in and around butterfly gardens to prevent accidental impacts to your target audience. If you’d like to see some of the plants listed in this article, be sure to visit our demonstration garden located at 2728 E. 14th Street, Panama City.

Sparks Flies: An Angel’s Pantry Brings Hope to Hungry

September 24, 2021

By Jamie Zimchek

Sally Sparks has a history of helping people, from over three decades with the Bay County sheriff’s office to regular mission trips with her church. Then, in 2009, her youngest son moved out and she didn’t have a mission trip lined up. “I wanted to do something for somebody,” explains Sparks. “I thought, why don’t I start a food bank?” So she did. And An Angel’s Pantry was born.

In the beginning, she converted her son’s empty room into a pantry, and asked people from the sheriff’s office where she still worked to donate food. “I posted fliers at my work place and told people if they needed food I could give it to them,” Sparks remembers. “The sheriff’s office has been very supportive.” People were allowed to drop off and pick up food there. “People were so generous to give,” she says. One woman has been donating money every month for the past 11 years, and Mugsy Parens with the Panama City Beach Senior Foundation has provided a location for food drives and drop-offs on the beach side. Sarah Homestead with Panama City Crossfit helped coordinate a fundraiser and raised six hundred dollars in a day; Morgan Godwin from One Heart Yoga coordinated a food drive at their neighborhood Christmas golf cart parade. Recently another local woman put in an order to Sams Club for Sparks to pick up packed with food items. Every year, Sammy and Marsha Allen through American Muscle Club organize a car show and food drive. This year, the drive takes place on October 2 at the Callaway Sonic from 6 to 8 p.m. Money and food donations are welcome, and a 50/50 raffle pushes half the winnings back to An Angel’s Pantry, although Sparks adds that winners often generously donate their half of the winnings right back to An Angel’s Pantry.

All this support goes a long way, but there’s room to do more. Between Hurricane Michael in 2018 and the fallout from Covid, the number of hungry in Bay County has stayed high. Also, the men’s Panama City Rescue Mission burned down in November of 2020, and there are a number of homeless who are still on the streets heading into another winter. Sparks says because of this she has a number of repeat food requests from those who just can’t get out of their situation. Fortunately, the donations keep coming. “It just always seems to work out,” says Sparks. “There are so many people in the county that want to help.”

She delivers each food box herself these days; sometimes she doesn’t have any drop-offs, and then other weeks she’s so busy it’s hard to keep up. “Some weeks it will be zero, or it can be between four and 10 and 15 a week, and then nothing.” Though those in need often learn about An Angel’s Pantry through word of mouth, they’re also listed as part of the 211 service in Bay County, a program of the United Way West Florida and United Way Northwest Florida (just dial 211 for information on community services including food distribution, children’s services, and mental health help options).

To support An Angel’s Pantry, drop off donations at Panama City CrossFit, 661 Jackson Way, Panama City, or Panama City Beach Senior Center at 423 Lyndell Ln, Panama City Beach. You can also leave items at the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, 3421 FL-77, Panama City. Check ahead for hours at each location to be sure someone is available to receive your contributions. Though non-perishable food items like boxed macaroni, grits, crackers, cookies, peanut butter, jelly, or canned foods (but not more creamed corn), are most welcome, Sparks also accepts bread (which she can freeze) and hygiene items, from diapers and wipes to shampoo and toothpaste. The message here? Local angels are here to help, and with your support can make this community even stronger.

For other ways to donate or request food, contact Sally Sparks at (850) 814-2488 or email her at sally.sparks@icloud.com.

$3,650 Raised at Yard Sale for Local Ministry

September 24, 2021

Shopping-for-a-cause is not a new concept, and when you step into a room with hundreds of items priced at $1 or less, you’re going to need a bag! This is exactly what happened at Grace Presbyterian Church off Airport Road, inside their fellowship hall, as they hosted their Annual 2-Day Yard Sale benefitting the Humble House Ministries. Doors opened Friday, August 20, 2021, at 7:30 a.m., but eager customers were waiting outside for the doors to open as early as 7 a.m.

$3,650 was raised over the course of 12 hours. The sale was organized by the N.W.F.L. Proverbs 31 Women’s Guild, a local volunteer organization comprised of women of all ages and church affiliations who meet monthly to support the Humble House Ministries. The group’s major role is to provide for the needs of the women within the Humble House program. Needs this group has met year-to-date include security cameras for the homes, resident dental needs, car phone, and a celebratory Mother’s Day dinner for the women and families in the program. This yard sale fundraiser made 100% profit with all items being donated in addition to bake-sale items.

The Guild consists of women of noble character, as described in Proverbs 31, having eager hands to aid in the mission of restoring women via Christian discipleship. There are currently 64 members and meet the second Monday of each month at 11 a.m. at Grace Presbyterian Church in Panama City, Florida. Board members include: Rebecca Jeffres, Debra Baublis, Ronnie Wilson, and Gerri Jasperson. To find out more, visit the group’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/groups/www.humblehouseministries.org/about.
The mission of the Humble House Ministries, INC. is to help those in addiction by providing a safe, residential environment, discipling them through Bible-centered teaching, and equipping them to live God honoring lives.
