Deputy Chris Porter was on State Road 20 just before 6 p.m. Oct. 25 when he caught up with a car weaving from side-to-side in its lane. After noticing the patrol car, the driver kept looking into the rear view mirror and began crossing the white line numerous times while slowing down from 55 mph to 45 mph in a posted 60 mph zone, according to the deputy's report. When Porter pulled the car over the driver, Clint Christopher Davis Jr., told him he knew he was all over the road, but it was because the car's front end was out of alignment. Davis was asked to step out of the car for a- pat-down search during which a large wad of cash totaling $706 was-found. When asked for consent to search the vehicle for weapons or drugs, Davis said there was a gun in the car and admitted that he and a friend had smoked marijuana earlier in the day. A canine officer was used to search the exterior of the car and gave a passive alert at the seam be- tween the passenger side front and rear doors. The deputy then asked for consent to search Davis after the dog's response to the possible pres- ence of drugs. Davis told the officer he "had a little powder" on him and then removed a clear plastic bag containing a white powder substance from his left shoe. The substance later tested positive for cocaine. During a search of the vehicle, a package of rolling papers was found in the center console and $100 in cash was found in the driver's visor. AHigh Point .45-caliber pistol inside a case was located in the trunk of the car, along with ammunition. The deputy'i report noted that the cocaine was placed inside t\ o sand\\ ich bags and the currency was in bill amount "commonly used to sell and purchase illegal substances." Davis was charged with possession of cocaine with intent to sell and possession of drug para- phernalia. Caller who summoned deputies arrested for holding gun on man and making racial slurs A 61-year-old man who apparently thought his neighbors were being robbed got arrested after he held a suspect at gunpoint and called the Calhoun County Sheriff's Department. When Bruce Lee of NW 16th Street saw a man walk to the residence of Jerry and Vickie Harmons and get their lawnmower around 9:30 a.m. Oct. 26, he intervened and held a rifle on Justin Black. According to the deputy's report, Black who has a child with the Harmons' daughter, Andrea Morales said he had permission to borrow the lawnmower to mow the yard of the home they share behind the Harmons' residence. Black said he tried to explain the situation to Lee, who was threatening to shoot him, using racial slurs and told him he "looked like a thief," according to the deputy's report. As Lee continued to hold the gun on him, Black told him he had left his three-month-old child asleep at home while coming to get the mower and asked Lee to allow him to return to check on the child, but Lee refused and.told him he had called the sheriff's department; After deputies arrived and began talkirig wih Black, Lee walked over to the men and began to verbally batter Black. . At that point, Lee was.placed under arrest for aggravated assault. He then turned his anger on the deputiies and began calling them names. ' i Lee was uncooperative as deputies tried to place him in a patrol car before he wvas finally brought in and booked into the county jail. He is being held on $2,500 bond.

' ,18366 Main St. North Blountstown Calhoun man charged with 4 counts of assault for threatening movers An Aug. 25 incident at the former residence of Jay Hoyt Rackley has led to his arrest on four counts of assault and trespassing after he was picked up on a warrant Oct. 27. According to a report from the Calhoun County Sheriff's Department, Rackley, went to his former home, which had beei repossessed by a bank, and threatened four people at gunpoint. The four were part of a moving crew sent there to take out his possessions and put them in storage. Rackley had previously been issued a trespassing warning for the property. When a deputy arrived, B.J. Tolley, 29, was on the right-of-way in front of the home and not on the actual property. She told the deputy that she had come to see who was moving her possessions out of her home. When the deputy spoke to a member of the mov- ing crew, he was told that a younger male had first entered the home and told them he wanted to know where his things were being taken; Soon afterwards, an older man later identi- fied as Rackley came in through the back door and walked up to where the movers were working near the dining room. He then "threatened to shoot everyone in the home if they continued moving his possessions," according to the deputy's report. The crew left the home and got in their vehicles and prepared to leave, but were convinced to stay after an off-duty officer was hired to stand by as they continued their job. Rackley was given a conditional release follow- ing his arrest. Customer charges she was pushed out of store A woman who said she went into a store three times in an attempt to buy dishes instead wound up filing charges against a store employee after he al- legedly attacked her verbally and shoved her out of the building, according to a report from the Calhoun County Sheriff's Department. The customer, Debbie McAlpin Sparks, 45, re- ported that the first two times she had gone to the store located adjacent to Connelly's Florist on Hwy. 69 she was told to come back and speak to the ownerabout the purchase of some dishes. When she returned a third time on Oct. 21, Sparks said she asked a clerk what the owner had decided to do about the dishes when George Connelly III "stormed out from the rear of the store," the report' stated. According to Sparks, Connelly got in her face and started attacking her verbally. She said he ac- cused her of trying to "rip him off' by buying the dishes at a reduced price and reselling them for profit elsewhere. She said he then put his hands on her shoulders and physically shoved her out of the store, into the parking area. He slammed the door in her face and told her to leave, she said. A warrant was issued for Connelly and he was arrested Oct. 27. He was given a conditional release. Dad charged with abuse for spanking children with belt A Blountstown man is facing two counts of child abuse after he allegedly disciplined his two children by hitting them with a belt.When Major Roman Wood escorted an employee from Children and Families to the residence of Steve Darnell, he noticed a black belt with a silver buckle hanging from a door frame. Seeing that the officer had noticed the belt, Darnell told him, "Yes, that's the belt in question." SDamell then told the officer the reason why the third child had not been spanked. He stated, "Because he's - going to get it worse." The Childrenri and Famnilies case worker produced 'pictures f 'the twvo children that showed they had! been bruised. They were removed from the father's custodySept. 23. *Steve Darinell was arrested Oct. 27. He was later. - released.on a $5,000 surety bond.

When the driver. Bobby Gene Creamer, stepped out of his vehicle, he told the officer he did not have a driver's license because it had been suspended for driving under the influence. The officer noted the odor of alcohol and asked him to take a sobriety test.

I like to Dick Cheney's right-hand man Scooter Libby has been indicted. By the way, his real name is not Scooter. It's 1. Lewis Libby, which will come in handy when he has to say "I, Lewis Libby, swear to tell the truth, the whole truth." BILL MAHER As a lawyer, Harriet Miers broke the glass ceiling. Now, as the first woman ever to withdraw from a nomination to the Supreme Court, she's shattered the glass basement as well. ED HELMS, Daily Show correspondent Ben Bernanke is going to replace Fed chairman Alan Greenspan... Apparently George Bush is trying out a new strategy qualified people. DAVID LETTERMAN If convicted, Scooter Libby could face the following penalties: obstruction of justice: 10 years in prison; making false statements: five years; perjury: four years; going to jail with the name Scooter: priceless. TINA FEY, Saturday Night Live Tom Delay had his mug shot taken. Did you see the picture? He has his hair dyed, teeth capped, eyebrows lifted for a minute they thought they arrested Regis. DAVID LETTERMAN Harriet Miers submitted her resignation letter, the first and only document she's released in the entire nomination process. -JON STEWART Insiders say that if Karl Rove resigns, President Bush will not function effectively. Wait a minute, all this time he's been functioning effectively? DAVID LETTERMAN Bush is so exhausted by all these scandals that he is praying for another disaster like a flood or a hurricane so he can kick back and do nothing. BILL MAHER Crime is down all over the country. It is down in Washington, D.C. As a matter of fact, today, Tom DeLay was just laundering clothing. DAVID LETTERMAN A' It was announced that the first Starbucks has reopened in New Orleans. Residents said they were thankful; they may have lost their homes, but now can spend $5 on a cup of coffee. CONAN O'BRIEN t .;A. T T xKt'Al- 'N L fltn thhin the middle of thperoad Jerry Cox is a retired military officer and writer with an extensive back- ground in domestic and foreign policy issues. He lives in Shalimar, Fla. Keepu 1 III 1 LIV IIJIUUIV VI LIM lVaA U.- I like government and all those people who influence my life to have policies that are good for most of the people most of the time. Cneney s aiue, i. Ljews ouuci Libby, just another Washington scan- dal that will pass with time, or is this an indication of a more fundamental problem with America's leadership? I know that there are those on the left and right that will never be satisfied with anything, but most of us recognize when we are being treated fairly, and when we are evenly shouldering the load of civic responsibility. President Bush came into office with the promise to be a uniterr, not a divider." Just the opposite has hap- pened. America is more polarized around left and right wing ideologies than ever before. The right hates the left and the left isn't too fond of the right. It seems that the only issues important to people are abortion and gay marriage. Now that I'm older, with age comes a bit of wisdom. You recognize that there are some things that can't be fixed. The abortion issue will never be settled to the satis- faction of all concerned. As horrible as it nmay be. abortion is a personal issue to.be decided b\ the conscience and convictions of the woman. Other than the Rule of Law protecting the minority from the majority, abortion is not a governmental issue. Gay people have been here since the beginning of time. While the gay lifestyle is abhorrent to some, you can't completely legislate and control personal conduct. Even the Rule of Law doesn't stop people from killing and robbing each other. In my view, the American people should debate other issues. The reasons for going to war in Iraq are one of them. The indictment of Mr. Libby is about the war in Iraq. The Bush administration was trying to smear this fellow Wilson because he challenged one of the main reasons for Mr. Bush's decision to invade Iraq, which was that Saddam Hussein was attempting to obtain nuclear materials from the African country of Niger in order to manufacture weapons of mass destruction. The Bush administration is spending about $6 billion dollars per month to wage k the war in Iraq and Afghani- stan. Hurricane damage makes south Florida and the Gulf Coast look like a war zone. To support the war and to repair hurricane damages Congress is proposing cuts teri l to most domestic programs. te i a I One of the proposals .is to Reduce funding for food t stamps. Another proposal is vs Providers to reduce funding for Medi- care payments to doctors. About two-thirds of the American people think that .the country is going in the wrong direction. It is time iFor them to speak out and state their views. America belongs'to its the people, not the politicians. Much has been written of late about the foibles of presidential second terms. President Reagan had his Iran-Contra scandal. President Clinton had his sex scandal with a White House aide. President Nixon had the most serious of second-term problems with the Watergate scandal, which resulted in Nixon's resignation. Now President Bush has his scandal that comes from the alleged outing of an undercover Central Intelligence Agency operative. The courts will decide if Mr. Libby is guilty as charged. Perhaps he is, perhaps he is not. Time will tell. While this is just another Washington scandal, I think that this event with the office of the Vice President of the United.States is also an indication that all is not well in America. President Reagan was s mart enough to fire some peo- ple, apologize for getting America into the Iran-Contra mess, and life went on. The Republicans forced President Clinton's redemption in the worst way. They impeached him which was very satisfying to the Republican right wing. But, the Senate failed to convict Mr. Clinton whidh satisfied the rest ofthe country. I consider it a draw, but the docket was cleared and America moved on. If President Bush will fire some people, to include his Vice President, apologize to America for this mess then his docket will be cleared and America will move on. Will that happen? Time will tell. America is a strong, resilient country. The American people are strong, hardworking, imminently sensible people. For many people out in the hinterlands, the outing' of a CIA agent isn't very high on their list of concerns. The price of gasoline and heating fuel is of more con- cern to most people than is another, political scandal in Washington.

Firefighters got the call at 9:20 p.m. on Oct. 26. "It was gone when we got there," Hanna said of the structure, located on Whitehead Road, off Hwy. 67. The cause of the blaze is unknown and is being investigated by the State Fire Marshal's Office. Faircloth is staying with a friend in Bristol and plans to make his home at his camp house in Kennedy Creek. JOHNNY EUBANKS PHOTO Two arrested during-traffic stop with pills, but no prescription Two people were arrested on several charges after a traffic stop just before 7 p.m. Saturday in Calhoun County, after a deputy noticed the driver was going about 50 mph in a 35 mph zone. The vehicle did not have a visible tag. After stopping the vehicle and waiting for the driver and his passenger to hand over their identification, Deputy William Dalton noticed the odor of alcohol and burnt marijuana coming from the interior of the car. When the driver, David Charles Payne, 47, got out of the car he stated he had consumed two beers earlier in the day. The deputy had the passenger, Elizabeth Katrine Smith Perkins, 21, step out of the car as well. When he asked if she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, she told him she had taken a Lortab earlier in the day. After asking if she had any illegal drugs in her possession, Per- kins said she had several more Lortab in her purse and turned over a bottle that contained four Vicodin and four unidentified pills. She told him she did not have any prescriptions for the medication. After getting the driver's consent to search the car. the deputy located a clear plastic bag in the driver's side floorboard k ith % hat appeared to be a small amount of marijuana and some rolling papers. During the search, Payne said he was cold and went to the trunk to get his jacket. The deputy then had a look inside the jacket and found one Lortab pill in the left pocket. Payne said his friend had given him the pill and he did not have a prescription for it.- Payne was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of a prescription narcotic without a prescription, pos- session of less than 20 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Perkins is charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of a prescription narcotic without a pre- scription. Both were booked into the county jail. 4- 4ga~c: :-~-a-a~.- ~ 4,-C ~P a 4q 1 %, .wi!~4 -i * ~ &as... ..a a.

The Guardian Ad Litem Program (GAL) is a network of trained volunteers that represent the best interests of abused, ne- glected, or abandoned children in the community. Guardians work for and become the eyes and ears of the judge in these cases. Guardian Ad Litem is a le- gal term meaning guardian for the party or guardians of the law. The program was established in Florida in 1980 as a court pro- gram to help abused and neglected children who become involved in court proceedings. These children are totally de- pendent on the adults around them to make decisions that affect their entire life. The primary goal of the' program is to give the children their own advocate to look out for their best interests and to inform the judge of their needs. Jane Powell is the coordina- tor of the program (state-funded) serving 'Jackson -County;, which currently has onl 44 volunteers. serving 155 children. ; According to Po" ell. a Guard- ian AdLitem cartiake one'family case at a time or several case,, at a time if they so desire. She said she.needs 10 to 15 additional'yol-,- unteers to handle the current case load. Powell stressed the fact that no special education or skills are needed. Classes are provided to teach volunteers about their re- sponsibilities as a Guardian Ad Litem. Training for the GAL program will begin on Nov. 7 and will be held at Chipola College in Mari- anna. Training is fun and interest- ing and you get the opportunity to meet good people that really care about children. Volunteers get in- formation about abuse and neglect of children, the role of a Guardian Ad Litem, and the judicial pro- cess. The Marianna office of the GAL is located on the second floor of the Jackson County Court- house, 4445 Lafayette Street in Marianna. The case coordinator in Calhoun County is Ms. Barbara Wynn and the office is located in the courthouse in Blountstown. Powell said this area also has an office in Chipley, ser\ i ng Hol-' .mes and Washingtoin Counties, and anyone from those areas is* also invited.,to attend the train-. ing.

Text: Ephesians 6:10-18 Chinese Wit and Humor relates a story about a thief caught stealing. He was placed in stocks. His friend came by wanting to know what he did. The thief said, "I was just walk- ing along the street when I saw on the ground a grass rope. I made the mistake of picking it up and taking it home and so I got into this trouble." "What is wrong with that?" inquired the friend.. "Well, there.was a very small ox tied to the rope," admitted the thief. The Bible says ihai Satan "de- ceiveth the whole-world (KJV)." Je- sus called Satan the father of lies. Sa- tan entices us to sin to destroy us. He is a master of deception; Satan makes sin look attractive, but he doesn't tell what the consequences are. He tries to distort your view of God, His plans, and His u rpu:e' for your life. We often deceive ourselves attempting to soothe our conscious so we can in- dulge in sinful desires. If our battle is with the father of lies, we better arm ourselves with truth if we are to overcome. Put on the Girt of Truth. The gir i 'er, imp,..rtjni It is the belt that holds all of the other ,pieces of armor in place. If we are to overcome temptation, we must know the truth about God, His will, our cir- cumstances, and the consequences. For instance, if you do riot know the great depth, width, and height of God's love, when a problem or trial comes along, you will be tempted to think that God is unfair or unl,: ing Some have fallen away thinking such thoughts.

JURY DUTY SCAM COULD LEAD TO IDENTITY THEFT Has anyone called recently letting you know that you missed jury duty? Warning, it could be a scam. Clever thieves continue to deceive innocent victims with intentions of stealing an individu- als identity, and the jury duty scam is one of the latest. Other states are reporting that a person claim- ing to be a Clerk's Office employee is calling innocent people telling them that a jury sum- mons in their name has gone unanswered, arid that an arrest warrant has been issued. The caller then suggests he or she can verify the arrest warrant if the unsuspecting person will provide some personal identifying infor- mation, such as social security number, birth date, or credit card number. Much of this infor- mation can easily be used to commit identity theft. "While this scam has not reached Liberty County, if you ever experience this type of call, hang up and call my office immediately," stat- ed Hon. Robert Hill, Clerk of the Court. "The Clerk's Office does not call summoned jurors. Please do not give out your personal informa- tion to anyone you don't know." It is only natural that a person may be inclined to give out personal information under the threat of an arrest, but in reality, court officials will never request personal information over the phone. This scam has been reported in many states, and many more innocent victims could be at risk if they are not aware of this threat.

In the fall, bears search for fallen acorns as they try to gain weight before winter, which often brings them into neighborhoods.. Though bears have a natural fear of people, "They can smell food from more than a mile away," said Stephanie Simek, Bear Pro- gram coordinator with the FWC. "If they are rewarded with an easy meal, they learn quickly to return to the scene." These easy meals include un- secured garbage cans, bird feed- ers and a pet's food left on the The Medical Center OF BLOUNTSTOWN Dr. lqbal A.

Hunters, who were included in the random drawing last year and not issued a quota hunt permit, will be included in this year's first drawing, known as. the preference drawing. "When you submit your ap- plication, there is no need to attach any rejection notice re- ceived last year to be included in this drawing. The TLS knows who was rejected last year and who is eligible this year." said Eddie White, FWC's quota hunt coordinator. '"When you sub- mit your application, you will receive a receipt showing the hunts you have applied for and your preference status. If you are eligible for the preference drawing, your receipt will indi- cate 'Preference: Yes.' Those not eligible for the preference drawing will be included in the second drawing," Applicants will receive, by mail, either a spring turkey quota hunt permit or a rejection notice prior to the beginning of Phase 2 of the selection process, on Dec. 14. Rejected applicants will be eligible for the prefer- ence drawing the following year and may re-apply in Phase 2 for any hunts that were not filled during the random drawings. Hunters also.may apply as a "group" during Phase 1. The group leader must apply first, and the group's number will be printed on their receipt. Each person wishing to join the group must also apply using this same group number, as provided by the group leader.

"Bears are very intelligent and extremely resourceful," Simek added. "They will want to stay if they find an available and abundant food source." Residents can avoid unpleas- ant bear, encounters by taking some simple steps to ensure that living in bear country is a safe and enjoyable experience. What you can do: *Remember: feeding bears is against the law *Store all food, garbage and compost in secure areas *Temporarily remove wildlife feeders if there are bears in the area While Florida black bears never have attacked anyone in Florida, Simek said people should give bears ample -space and never attempt to disturb, pet or feed them. "A bear that stays in an area for long periods often reflects more of a people problem than a bear problem," Simek said. FWC wildlife biologists re- cently had to capture and relocate three bears from Franklin and Bay counties -- the biggest was a near-record 500-pound male. These bears were feeding in un- secured garbage bins at a restau- rant and school. FWC biologists tagged and relocated the bears to the Apalachicola National For- est. So far this year, the FWC received more than 1,300 calls to report bears, including sight- ings and roadkills. For more information on liv- ing with bears, visit MyFWC. com/bears.

WALKER CLEMMONS PHOTOS by Richard Williams, Journal sports writer Liberty County suffered a 38-8 defeat at the hands of the playoff-bound Wewahitchka Gators in high school football action October 28. Playing at home, the Gators took advantage of early mistakes by Liberty and several unsuccessful fourth-down conversion attempts by the Bulldogs to score 26 first half-points. Liberty's offense was unable to move the ball against Wewa and Liberty's defense, playing in- side their end of the field for most of the game, was unable to stop the Gators' offense. Wewa combined key passes With a strong running attack that seemed to wear Liberty down as the game progressed An early first quarter turnover by Liberty inside their own twenty-yard line gave Wewa an oppor- tunity for a quick score that pushed the lead to two touchdowns. On Liberty's next possession, the Bulldogs failed to convert a fourth and short situ- ation. Wewa capitalized on the good field position and scored their third touchdown of the night. The Gators ended their scoring in the final quar- ter when a touchdown moved their lead to 38-0. The lead of more than 35 points caused a running clock for the remainder of the game. Libert\ \%as able to score their only touchdown late in the fourth w hen A.J. Marlo\ e broke a nice run for a score. The successful t o point con\ version made the final score 38-8. The loss dropped the Bulldogs to 5-4 for the Near and 2-4 in district play. Liberty\ 's season ends No\. 4 when the Da\ gs pla. host to R.F. Munroe. The game is also Se- nior Night for the Bulldogs.

TALLAHASSEE Attorney General Charlie Crist advised Floridians affected by Hurricane Wilma to use extra caution when hiring workers to help clean up the damage caused by the storm. In particular, Crist warned those who are victims of water dam- age and downedtrees to be alert for contractors who offer water removal or cleanup services for homes and property. With many residents in the southern portions of Florida facing significant cleanup, it is likely that legitimate contractors will be mixed with those seeking to profit at the expense of storm victims. Consumers face the risk that services will be offered by those who are not licensed, that clean-up services will be offered at unconscionably high prices, or that so-called "contractors" will accept down payments but will not do the work at all. Crist said his office is prepared to in- vestigate complaints of alleged price gouging, and said citizens should call his Price Gouging Hotline at 1-866-9-NO-SCAM (1-866-966-7226) to file such complaints. "I fully support a business' right to make a profit, but x\e. cannot accept unjust profiteering. especially when it puts an extra burden on citizens who have just endured a significant hurricane," said Crist. "Floridians affected by Hurricane Wilma will need all the help they can get, and we will do our part by making sure price gouging is not in the equa- tion." Crist provided a series of guidelines for consumers to pro- tect themselves from unscrupu- lous contractors, including: *Before signing a contract, check the payment terms and other pro\ isions carefully. Don't pay a contractor in advance. *Do not pay cash to home re-. pair contractors or tree removal services. *Require home repair contrac- tors to obtain all necessary gov- ernment licenses and permits, rather than leaving that burden on the conIlsumir. S*Make sure contractors have proper occupational licenses as required by state law. *Work only with reputable, established businesses. Avoid "contractors" who knock on your door offering to fix your roof or windows.. Try to obtain more than one estimate for the repair work. Crist also advised residents to report suspected cases of price gouging, which can carry stiff penalties following a guberna- torial declaration of a state of emergency. _Investigators from the Attorney General's Office have been mobilized to crack down on price gouging on items that are in high demand follow- ing a hurricane such as food, wa- ter, hotels, ice, gasoline, lumber and generators. Already this year the Attorney General's Office has received more than 4,300 complaints re- lated to price gouging associated with earlier Hurricanes Dennis, Katrina and Rita, and has filed two lawsuits against Tallahas- see gas stations for alleged price gouging during Katrina. In addi- tion, the office has subpoenaed four oil companies for records associated with gas prices dur- ing Dennis and Katrina. During last year's record-set- ting hurricane season, Crist's of- fice received :8,911 complaints through its price gouging hot- line. Following last year's hurri- canes, the office initiated 58 for- mal investigations and filed 13 price gouging lawsuits against hotels, generator businesses, tree removal companies and other businesses. To date the Attorney General's Office has recovered more than $939,000 in restitu- tion for Florida consumers from settlements and other resolu- tions. Other investigations and settlement negotiations are on- going, Consumers may report price gouging by calling the Attorney General's Price Goug ing Hotline toll-free at 1-866-9-NO-SCAM or 1-866-966-7226.

The scoreboard tells the story as the Tigers end the first quarter behind, then tie with Holmes County in the third before adding two touchdowns to win in the final quarter. Tigers pull ahead after third quarter tie to win 26-13 by Teresa Eubanks, Journal Editor After a lackluster first half in which their only score was called back, the Blountstown Tigers regrouped and came back to beat Holmes County 26-13 to keep their undefeated season intact. At the half, "We talked and made adjustments and told them their season was fixing to be over if they didn't do something dif- ferent," said Coach Bobby Johns. At that point, "they just decided to play." He said, "These guys are good enough that when they decide to play with a little bit of emotion, they can do it." Holmes County opened the scoring on their home field Oct. 28 on a five-yard touchdown run. The extra-point kick was good to start the scoring at 7-0. Holmes County scored again in the sec- ond quarter on a four-yard run. The kick attempt failed. By half- time, the Tigers had failed to get any points on the board and their host team lead by 13 points. -"We played like we were zombies in the first half," said Johns. He said that while his team remains undefeated despite inconsistent performances on the field, their record "is not going to matter when we get to the playoffs." Whi-n the Tigers returned to the field for the third quarter, A Blountstown Tiger breaks through the Holmes County line. A Blountstown Tiger breaks through the Holmes County line. John Lockhart caught a 37-yard touchdown pass from Michael Guilford to give Blountstown their first score of the night. The extra point kick attempt was no good and the score stood at 13-6. The Tigers' second score of the night came with 4:33 left in the third quarter when Lockhart returned an interception 45 yards. Jacob Williams' extra point kick was good and the score was tied, at 13-13 at the end of the third. Chance Attaway scored on a 15-yard run in the fourth quarter to break the tie and make the score 19-13 after the kick attempt failed. With 3:11 left in the final quar- ter, Arsenio Ivory scored on a six- yard run. Williams' extra point kick was good and the Tigers ended the game at 26-13. Johns gives some of the credit for the halftime turnaround to Co- rey Silcox. "He really stepped up and led our team in the way they TONYSHOEMAKE PHOTOS TONY SHOEMAKE PHOTOS needed to go," the coach said. "He wanted to get more involved in the second half and was moved from strong safety to free safety so they couldn't formation him out of the play," he said. "He was big in what happened in the second half. I felt he showed real good leadership in getting everyone to step up and play in the second half." Attaway had 15 rushes for 76 yards and one touchdown. Guil- ford had 12 rushes for 31 yards. Ivory had nine rushes for 49 yards and one TD. T.C. Copeland had eight rushes for 43 yards. Guil- ford was 6 for 7 for 162 yards and one touchdown. His 60-yard TD was called back on a penalty in the first quarter. Ryan Baker led the team de- fensively with 14 tackles, fol- lowed by Corey Silcox and John Lockhart each with 13, Chaz Johns with 11 and Chance At- taway with 10. The Tigers travel to Wewa for their last regular season game, where they will meet a familiar face former BHS Coach Greg Jordon, who is now heading up the Wewa Gators. :"Coach Jordon's done a great job with these kids," Johns said of the Wewa team, which is now 8-1. And, of course, he knows the Blountstown Tigers well. "He knows these kids and he knows what they can do. He knows what we like to do on offense and defense. The key is that his kids seem to play more emotionally than ours," said Johns. While the upcoming game won't couni in the playoffs, it'll be a big challenge for the Tigers playing against one of their for- mer coaches. "We really miss him defensively," Johns said, adding, "hopefully, that won't cost us too badly Friday." The biggest concern in this week's game other than win- ning will be preventing inju- ries that could affect the playoffs, Johns said. The Tigers will travel to Wewa for the Nov. 4 game, which starts at 7:30 p.m. Central Time. '. *1- --~ I. . rob~ .~ 15- ;i ~..;l.,.i.~;;;,a;-,.~ :-. ", y .. .

Now in its 19th year, the Successful Ice Cream Retailing Seminar designed for small business operators who want to start their own retail ice cream business or improve their exist- ing business will be held Jan. 12-16, 2006 in Gainesville when the University of Florida hosts the event for the first time. "The annual seminar, which is presented at different loca- tions around the nation, is the original, longest-running and best-known course of its kind," said Ron Schmidt, a professor in UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences who is coordinating the four-day event. Leading national experts in the ice cream business will speak at the seminar, which will be held at UF's food science and human nutrition department. "For the small-business per- son, the seminar will provide detailed information on a wide range of topics for success in the ice cream business," Schmidt said. "Designed by experienced shop owners, the seminar will help owners and store managers learn what they need to start and operate a viable business." Topics include management and marketing,, business expan- sion, internal business controls, store design and theft preven- tion. There will also be presen- tations on manufacturing with batch freezers, ice cream cakes and soft-serve products, and fla- voring resources. Dick Warren, who owns and operates Four Seas Ice Cream in Cape Cod, Mass., will be. a fea- tured speaker at the seminar. "After 45 years in the ice cream business, Dick Warren is a nationally recognized per- sonality, and his store has been featured in USA Today, Gour- met magazine and other national media outlets," Schmidt said. "His expertise runs the gamut QUINCY -,When it comes to developing and introducing new vegetable crops, the Uni- versity of Florida/Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) is on the cutting- edge. For the past 25 years, the USDA-ARS and UF/IFAS have been developing, vegetable soy- bean lines, known as "Edama- me," adapted for the southern United States. Research at the North Florida Research and Education Center (NFREC) has been conducted by a multi-disciplinary team that has been working together on all aspects of Edamame pro- duction, from development to end-user uses. "The. Edamame research is a great example of a team of re- searchers and Extension faculty Working together to introduce a new crop to vegetable produc- ers," said Dr. George Hochmuth, Center Director at NFREC. "The team consists of a crop breeder, a production specialist, and an extension agent, who is interested in the end use of the product. You have the entire spectrum covered from variety development to culinary use of the product." The UF/IFAS Edamame lines were selected for pod yield, disease resistance, determinant growth habit, enhance flavor and isoflavone chemistry. Iso- flavone content, while benefi- cial to our health, contributes to the bitter off-taste commonly found in standard soybean vari- eties. Decreasing the bitter fla- vor without eliminating the iso- flavone content of the seed has been a major selection focus. Currently there are three ex- perimental breeding lines in breeder's seed increases at the North Florida Research and Ed- ucation Center at Quincy. Two experimental lines are black- seeded and one is white-seeded. Over 100 additional breeding lines are also being evaluated for desirable flavor, seed yield, hila color and pest resistance. UF/IFAS NFREC plans to re- lease several cultivars for com- mercial production in the south- ern U.S. in 2006. Vegetable .soybeans are growing increasingly popular as a healthy snack or vegetable because of the benefits associ- ated with lowering cholesterol, increasing dietary fiber and contribution of natural isofla- vones to our diets. "This nutritious bean is great tasting and good for you," said Monica Brinkley, the UF/IFAS Cooperative Extension Director for Liberty County. "Edamame contains isoflavone, which has beei shown to have heart health benefits, containing about 38% protein, and is also rich in cal- ciumi, vitamin A, and phytoes- trogens." When compared with com- mercially available vegetable soybeans presently marketed in the U.S., Florida-developed lines have superior disease re- sistance and vyild potemliail or rlle southeastern U.S. Horida experimental vegetable soybean iines aii, classed as Maturity Group VII and VIII %.0\beansl.

The Lady Bulldogs are having an outstanding 2005 season with 19 wins and only 2 losses. The Lady Bulldogs have played with a lot of sweat and determination to bring a victory title home. The team is comprised of only three seniors and nine juniors who each bring a lot of talent and skill to the court. The theme for the Lady Bulldogs this year has been "Dig Deep," in other words don't give up, no matter .what the score is just dig a lit- tle deeper for the victory. That motto has inspired them in many of their games and is evident in their season record. They were undefeated in the first 8 games they played and they have main- tained being number one in the district all season. Some of the leading players in kills, digs, saves, aces and blocks are Julie Brock (senior), Natalie Eubanks (senior), Candice Hol- ley (junior), Lindsey nobles (ju- nior), Dayna Ramsey (junior), Briti Reed (junior) and Jacque- line Sans (junior). The other Steam members are Carmen Foran (junior), Kaley Revell (junior), Marissa Shuler .(junior), Kayla Sumner (junior), Shorja West (senior), and Kaycee Ammons (junior). The team is coached by Casi Peddie who in her second year as head coach for the Lady Bulldogs. These ladies have ex- emplified hard work, determina- tion and a great attitude both on and off the court. The Lady Bulldogs have an amazing fan club. The fans have shown their support for the team whether they are at home or on the road. The Lady Bulldogs depend on the fans to help sup- port them and encourage them in the games. The Bulldog spirit has helped these girls come out on top with a victory, especial- ly in their rival games against Blountstown and Altha. The road to victory began with the district championship game against West Gadsden when the Bulldogs won in three games. Next, LCHS hosted Sneads in the quarter regional fi- nals in which the Lady Bulldogs to victory took the victory once again. This past Saturday, the Lady Bull- dogs traveled to Cottondale to face the Hornets. Although they were off to a rocky start losing the first game, the Lady Bulldogs pulled another victory defeating the Cottondale Hornets in the next three games to clinch the semi-regional game. The Lady Bulldogs advance to the regional game on Thursday,-Nov. 3 at 7 p.m.. (ET) in Bristol where they will face Baker High. The state championship game will be held on Saturday, Nov. 12 (location and time to be announced). The Lady Bulldogs encour- age all the fans to come and sup- port them at home on Thursday night. This is the first time our volleyball team has made it to this level in the playoffs. We are proud of Coach Peddie and the Lady Bulldog team in the suc- cess they have had in this 2005 volleyball season! You are all champions in our eyes! We wish the Lady Bulldogs the best as they continue on the road to vic- tory. Ten actions that families can take to raise drug-free kids from the Florida Office of Drug Control Start: It is never too early to prevent your children from try- ing drugs. Building protective factors, such as letting your child know you care, plays an impor- tant role in protecting even the. youngest children from drugs.' Conriect: Take every oppor- tunity to build lines of commu- nication with your children. Do things as a family. Spend time together-eat dinner as a family, read together, play a game, at- tend religious services. Show that fun doesn't involve drugs. Listen: Take a more active in- terest in what is going on in your child's life. Listen to their cares and concerns. Know what they are up to-what parties they are, going to, with whom, and what will be served or available. Learn: Children today are so- phisticated. In order to educate your child about the danger of drugs, you need to educate your- "self first. In many cases, you and your child can learn side by side. Sit down together and learn about the risks drugs pose. Educate: Spend at least thirty minutes with your kids every month explaining with simple facts how drugs can hurt young- sters and destroy their dreams. Care: Spend at least a few minutes each day telling and showing your children that you care. Make sure they know you care that they are drug-free. Ex- plain to your child that you will always be there for them- no matter what happens. Make sure that they know to come to you first for help or information. The extended family plays a major role in influencing a child's life. Be Aware: Look for the warn- ing signs that your child may be developing a substance-abuse problem and get help before the problem occurs. Your pediatri-, cian can help. Set Limits: By setting limits on what is acceptable behavior, you show your children you care and help guide them to a safer, drug-free future. Declare limits: "This family doesn't do drugs. This family doesn't hang around people who do drugs." Enforce these limits. If you say no drugs or no drinking and driving, the rule applies to parents, too. Be consistent. Get Involved: Effective pre- vention extends beyond the home into the community. Get involved in your community. Ensure that your community's streets, playgrounds, and schools are safe and drug-free. Start or join a community watch group or community anti-drug coali- tion. Become active in the PTA. Get involved in your -church, synagogue, or faith. Lead: Young people are as aware of what you do as much as what you say. Don't just say the right things; do the right things. Set a good example. If you, yourself, have a substance abuse problem, get help. To contact your local anti- drug coalition, Panhandle Area Drug & Alcohol Abuse Coali- tion, Inc. located at Panhandle Area Health Network, Inc. 4349 Lafayette Street Building #2 in Marianna or call (850) 482- 9255.

Page 24 THE CALHOUN-LIBERTY JOURNAL NOVEMBER 2, 2005 - Q: Which type of supplement is better a drink or a pill? A: If you are having trouble getting enough calories and pro- tein, either because your energy needs are very high or you are having trouble eating, a supple- mental drink would be the best choice for you. You should choose one of the many drinks available depending on your lactose tolerance, how much fat your body can handle and how many additional calories you need. If you don't need extra cal- ories and protein, but only extra amounts of one or more vitamins and minerals, then a pill may be better for you. Either of these options is considered a "supple- ment" to healthy eating. Neither can replace all the nutrients and beneficial substances you get from eating balanced, mostly plant-based meals. Q: Can someone who must eat gluten-free foods follow a diet that lowers a person's can- cer risk, too? A: Yes. A gluten-free diet, specifically designed for people with celiac disease, whose diges- tive tract is damaged by foods containing gluten, can also meet a variety of other health con- cerns, like lowering cancer risk. If you are unsure how to create a gluten-free diet that does this, you can talk to a registered dieti- tian or a doctor with experience treating celiac patients. .There are also reputable websites and books that offer support, up-to- date information and recipes. In addition to avoiding tobacco, the following diet and lifestyle prin- - ciples are the main ones that will lower cancer risk for everyone, including celiac patients: focus your meals around vegetables, fruits, whole. grains and beans; maintain a healthy weight and stay physically active; limit fat, alcohol and sodium; and choose mostly beans, poultry, or seafood for protein instead of large amounts of red meat. None of these principles are in conflict with a gluten-free diet. However, restrictions on eating -gluten make it much more diffi- cult for celiac patients to eat the recommended three ser\ ings of whole grains a day. Wheat (and its many derivatives), barley and rye contain gluten. Oats are glu- ten-free, but often contaminated with gluten during processing, so this grain may be best avoid- ed, too. Rice and corn, including popcorn and 100 percent corn- meal, are gluten-free and safe to eat. Although classified as fruits, quinoa and buckwheat (kasha) are grain-like and gluten-free and can bring variety to a celiac patient's diet. Amaranth is an- other safe option, although not technically a grain. The great- est problem for someone who must avoid gluten is the hidden gluten in baked and processed foods and commercially-pre- pared foods found in restaurants and grocery stores. If you find it too difficult to eat the recom- mended daily servings of whole grains, at least strive to follow - the other principles. Because un- treated celiac disease can lead to lymphoma of the small intestine, you shouldn't risk eating whole grains that may be tainted with gluten. 1 -5A 6IR5 -161 U Dtflrf: ~~P W59 ~i9L~i A~BMiJsT' Down M. subhft 30OWT tw ()Down VQ oL*U Lancer o Do=~~'0Dig ~~ nft.- Q: Since vitamin D is a fat- solihe' vitamiin, can we absorb it from skim milk?

AN MV' Brown patch disease can be common in the fall After a busy season of fight- ing weeds and other problems in the lawn, the next disorder to look for will be a common fungal disease called brown patch. It is caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani, and affects all warm-season turfgrasses, especially St. Au- gustinegrass and zoysiagrass. Brown patch usually ap- pears as somewhat circu- lar brown areas in the lawn. These patches usually start as six to twelve inch diameter circles that turn yellow and then reddish-brown, brown,. or straw-colored as the leaves start to die. Patches will fre- quently merge and may ex- pand to several feet in diam- eter, forming irregular dead areas. The fungus is most active along the border of the patch where it is expanding into the by Theresa Fric Extension Horticu Agent, Santa Rosa healthy surrounding ten, there may be rin low/brown grass w grass in the center g "doughnut" or "smi pattern.

Lawns that have suf- is tan to fered insect damage, thatch Sis rotted accumulation or improper ir- you may rigation practices are at high- .sease. er risk of being infected with disease is brown patch disease. observed When environmental con- )ugh May. editions are favorable, brown patch is likely to develop on susceptible turfgrasses. The severity of the disease can be somewhat controlled by fol- lowing good lawn manage- ment practices. Avoid heavy applications of nitrogen fer- tilizer during the potential disease development peri- ods-spring and fall. Irrigate only when necessary and do so only in the early morning hours (between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m.) when dew is already present. And, since mow- ers can spread this disease, mow diseased areas last, and wash the turf clippings off the mower before proceeding to the next site. A number of fungicides are recommended for brown 'patch control including those that contain azoxystrobin, myclobutanil (Immunox), .. propiconazole, thiophanate methyl, triadimefon (Bay- leton) and trifloxystrobin. Al- ways remember to read and follow the label recommenda- tions. Since this disease normally occurs when the turfgrass is not growing very rapidly, re- covery may be very slow. The fungicides simply stop the dis- ease from spreading; they do not promote turfgrass growth. This is why it may be benefi- cial to apply these fungicides prior to disease development, but only if this disease has ... been a routine problem in the landscape.

Unfor- tunately, many of these maps have become outdated, espe- cially in high growth and devel- opment areas including Florida. FEMA has established a broad goal of modernizing flood hazard maps nationwide. In lieu of the destructive hurricanes that have swept over the state since 2004, accurate flood hazard maps are especially important for identi- fication of floodplain and flood hazard information. The Northwest Florida Water Management District was des- ignated by FEMA in December 2002 as a Cooperating Techni- cal Partner (CTP) for the State of Florida in Northwest Florida. As a CTP, the NWFWMD has begun to work collaboratively with FEMA to create and main- tain accurate, up-to-date flood hazard data for the communi- ties served in Northwest Florida. This includes the 16 county ar- eas of Bay, Calhoun, Escambia, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Hol- mes, Jackson, Leon, Liberty, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, Wakulla, Walton and Washington counties- and the western n most portion of Jefferson County. Floodplain management and protection is a primary area of responsibil- ity and a priority as part of the District's mission. The FEMA Map Modern- ization program "Map Mod", builds upon recommendations of the Technical Mapping Advi- sory Council articulated-in 2000. Congress approved a $1 billion dollar investment to bring flood hazard maps up-to-date nation- wide over a 5-year period. The NWFWMD vision for the Map Modernization initiative is to provide more accurate and com- plete flood hazard information for counties and communities within the district. As part of this work, the NWFWMD has embarked in an endeavor to map and convert flood insurance rate maps (FIRMs) into a digital for- mat covering all 16 counties in the NWFWMD. This includes the collection of new, accurate elevation data, new flood stud- ies, and will result in updated digital flood insurance rate map panels (DFIRMs) meeting FE- MA's latest multi-hazard flood map modernization standards. Efforts through other water re- sources and emergency man- agement programs by the local government, district, state and federal programs are also under way to obtain more accurate and detailed elevation imagery in a digital format. The digital component of the new maps is a key because they are easily accessed by the pub- lic and displayed on the web. The web displays are capable of showing actual earth images and topography with the flood zones and flood hazard information as map overlays. Residents and property owners will be able to view the areas mapped as flood hazard zones with a very clear aerial image of the earth along with the structures they live in. The web based digital flood maps will also allow for easy updates as development changes occur. With the updated DFIRMs and the district's ongoing emphasis on protection and acquisition of Deadline for purchasing noninsured NAP coverage on potatoes Dec. 31 The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is currently accepting applications for NAP cover- age. NAP provides financial assistance to eligible produc- ers affected by natural disas- ters. Eligible disasters are any of the following: damaging weather such as drought, ex- cessive moisture, or hurricane; an adverse natural occurrence such as earthquake or flood; a condition related to damag- ing weather or adverse natural occurrence such as excessive heat or insect infestation. The natural disaster must occur before or during harvest and must directly affect the eligible crop. Applicants must pay a nonrefundable adminis- trative fee of $100 per crop, per county. Fees are capped at $300 per county not to exceed $900 for farmers with interest in multiple counties. Loss must begreater than 50 percent of expected pro- duction and coverage must have been purchased 30 days prior to the coverage period. The application closing date is Dec. 31, 2005, for potatoes. Failed crops must be reported within 15 days after the disas- ter. For further information the NAP program, please contact the Calhoun, Franklin Gulf and Liberty County FSA Office at 17413 NW Leonard Street, Blountstown, FL 32424 or call 674-8388 or 1-800-243-9912, ext. 6. flood prone areas, the flood pro- tection goals and the nonstruc- tural floodplain management strategy of the NWFWMD will be enhanced. FEMA funding for flood stud- ies is limited. The objective of the CTP program is to leverage available funding to obtain more and better multi-hazard mapping with the available resources. Currently, the FEMA Regional Office in Atlanta manages Fed- eral funding through a Coopera- tive agreement with the NWFW- MD. This funding will be used to remap all of the 16-county area of the district in a digital format that will become acces- sible through the Internet and other printable media. The NW- FWMD is providing funding and staff resources to leverage this funding. The NWFWMD is also, Wanted: Junk cars and trucks, any condition, no charge for removal.
