Fabulous Limeliters to perform Thursday as part of Chipola Artist Series
The Fabulous “Limeliters” will perform, Thursday, Nov. 9,
at 7:30 p.m., in the Chipola College Theater as part of the Chipola
Artist Series.
The Limeliters launched their career in 1959 at San Francisco’s
famous Hungry I and before long, founding members Alex Hassilev,
Lou Gottlieb and Glenn Yarbrough emerged as one of the dominant
voices of the early 1960’s folk music scene.
A string of best selling albums and frequent appearances on
every major TV show quickly made them a household name. For
three years they were the musical representatives for Coca-Cola,
and their rendition of the jingle “Things Go Better with Coke” became a national hit. In addition there were endless tours with standing room only crowds.
Two more events are slated in the Artist Series: Theatre of
Illusion magic show, Jan. 29, 2007, and The Orlando Opera

Chipola to host Holiday Inn Express/Alzheimer’s Classic
Chipola will host the second annual Holiday Inn Express/

This year’s tourney will feature some of the nation’s elite

25 nationally.
Participating this year is number three Trinity Valley (TX),
number four Southeastern Illinois, number five and defending National Champions Monroe (NY), number six ranked Gulf Coast,
number 16 ranked Chipola that enters the tourney as the top-ranked
team in Florida, and number 23 Georgia Perimeter.
The four other teams participating are FCCAA top-10 teams:
number three Central Florida, number four Okaloosa-Walton, number five Tallahassee, and ninth-ranked Pensacola.
Five games are scheduled for Friday, with the marquee matchup between Gulf Coast and Southeastern Illinois at 6 p.m.
Five games also are on tap for Saturday with several topranked match-ups. Gulf Coast will again be in action at 6 p.m.
against fifth-ranked Monroe C.C. That contest will be followed by
Chipola and Southeastern Illinois at 8 p.m.
Just two games are set for Sunday with Chipola taking on
Trinity Valley at 3 p.m.
Proceeds from the tournament will go to the Alzheimer’s
Resource Center of Dothan. The center provides information, family assistance, and counseling for Panhandle families with mem-
bers who are stricken with this disease.
In addition to the classic, the Chipola Women’s Basketball
team will sponsor a Memory Walk on Nov. 4 at 9 a.m. Walkers

Chipola women’s and men’s basketball teams top state polls
Both Chipola College basketball teams are at the top of the
Florida Junior College polls.
The Lady Indians begin their defense of the FCCAA State
title ranked number one in the FCCAA poll. Gulf Coast is ranked
second, with OW in third, and TCC in fifth. The 2006 Lady Indians captured the state women’s state title for a second straight year
and finished fourth in the NJCAA Tournament. The Lady Indians
finished the 2006 campaign with a 31-6 overall mark.
The Chipola men’s squad is ranked second in the state FCCAA
poll behind number one TCC. OW is third.
The Chipola men’s team is ranked first in the nation in Street and
Smith’s College Basketball Yearbook, the premier pre-season publication for college basketball.
The Indians were 29-4 in 2005-06, falling just short in their
bid to become the first men’s team ever to win three straight Florida
state titles when they lost to Tallahassee, 98-96, in triple overtime
in the 2006 State Championship. visit the website at

Students speak well of Talent Search Program
Two Chipola College students gave
testimonials recently about help they received from Chipola’s Educational Talent
Search program.
Beverly Pollock, a sophomore Psychology major, enrolled at Chipola through
the Talent Search at Malone High. She plans
to transfer to Florida State in the Fall of
2007. “Because of the direction I received
from Talent Search, I was much more prepared to enter college,” Pollock said.
Savannah Whigham was in the Talent Search Program at Ponce de Leon High.
She is now a freshman nursing major at
Chipola with a part-time job at the college.
She plans to earn a BSN and MSN at FSU.
Whigham said, “I just don’t know where
I’d be today without all the direction that I
was given through this program.”
With assistance from Talent Search,
both students selected a college major,
qualified for Bright Futures, and applied for
financial aid and scholarships, all prior to
high school graduation.
Chipola’s Talent Search program
will continue to provide services to firstgeneration college-bound students in area
middle and high schools thanks to a recent
$1,032,000 grant for four more years.
Talent Search helps identify youth in
grades 6-12 to help them complete high
school and enroll in postsecondary educational programs. To date, some 90 percent
of Chipola’s Talent Search students have
graduated high school and
enrolled in postsecondary
programs. Talent Search
serves 600 area students
with academic advising;
assistance with college
admissions and financial
aid applications; entrance
exam preparation; personal and career counseling; and exposure to cultural and academic activities, including field trips to
STUDENTS SPEAK WELL OF TALENT SEARCH—Chipola colleges, universities and
sophomore Beverly Pollock, Congressman Allen Boyd and
technical centers.
