Santa Rosa County .School Board. The figure could leave Santa Rosa residents facing a 10 percent hike in their proper- ty taxes if -omenthing isn't done quickly. That's why Santa. Rosa County Property Appraiser Greg Brown has just returned -from Tallahassee. He's been working to convince state offi- cials that Florida should cough up some of the unexpected sales tax revenue (that came from all the reconstruction work) to help the counties hardest hit by the revenue shortfall. "Since the.day aftei the hull - ricane," says-Brown. "l\ staff has been assessing damage. We've finished our assessment of all those properties we could get to and have determined that Ivan did over a half billion dol- lars in damage." In a nutshell, prior to Ivan, Santa Rosa had just over $5.9 billion in taxable property . Today, that figure is $5.4 bil- lion. At the current millage rate, local coffers \\ill rluink by $7.2 million (about $3 6 million each for the count\ go~mernmnent and the county school system). "I was in Tallahassee two weeks ago," notes Brown. "I was trying to get the state to. make us whole for the dollar * lost from Ivan. "I i. would like us. to get our share of the excess sales revenue.

Plans for that-and other improvement projects-are slated to begin at the close of the -chool year. The project was scheduled. then halted, last year-after county officials found they might be able to.receive grant money to fund it. Current improvement plans call for resurfacing and widen- ing by adding ne"\ turn lanes. The county will pay any over- age above and beyond grant funding, according .to Commissioners.

Garcon bridge traffic on the rise By JIM FLETCHER PG .4sistalt Plbliiish Hurricane I.an hasn't been a bust for everyone or ever\ - thing. It has meant a boon to roofing contractors and a host of other reconstruction firms. And it's been an economic shot-in-the-amrn to the Garcon Point Bridge. While,cash deposits for the bridge came to a screeching halt in the \%eek, after Hurricane Ivan, once tolls were restored, 'traffic counts and toll collections have seen a regular increase over the same period a year ago. This, officials speculate, is a result of motorists attempting to avoid traffic on the injured I- 10 bridge and steer clear of con- gestioin on other area roadways. In November of 2003, for example, the Santa Rosa Bay Bridge Au hon t made deposits totaling $207,935. In November of 2004, the total jumped to, $255.090. In December of 2003, 107,509 vehicles crossed the span linking north and south Santa Rosa. Twelve months later, 116,547 nmde tle cross- See BRIDGE, Pg. 5A.

Ridings heaves a heavy log during last week- end's Lumberjack Games held at the Milton campus of PJC. Complete competition results can be found in the Sports section of today's Press Gazette-page 1 C. Press Gazette photo by Bill Gamblin Commissioners decide tomorrow whether to move for- ward with plans to preserve an environmentally sensitive estu- ary and dune area off White Sands Blvd. The spot is one of the last unleased beach proper- ties in Santa Rosa. Organizers of the effort hope to develop a management plan to protect the ecosystem and allow public access through it, without destroying fragile plant and animal life. The Navarre Beach Preserve project would create a "passive" preserve that protects as much of the area's natural state as possible. Navarre Beach resident Carolyn Kolb is leading efforts to establish county oversight of the Preserve area. County officials recently rezoned the spot from a protect- ed wetlands designation to "conservation/ recreation." Officials say the wetlands des- ignation was done away with to conform with previously-estab- lished Navarre Beach Master Plan goals, and that the new zoning would allow for foot- path construction around the dunes. Organizers hope to obtain grant money to build a system of "boardwalk" footpaths through the property. Officials say that would encourage the public not to tread on beach wildlife, and help preserve the ecosystem. "It's a .beautiful, fragile area, and it needs protection and these boardwalks would provide that," Kolb notes. She says a management plan would include parking, upkeep and security. If installed, the boardwalk system would also include signage detailing wildlife in residence. "I see this as an educational (asset) for the citizens of Santa Rosa county," Kolb points out., Officials say the area hous- es a mullet nursery, among other wildlife. "I can't tell you how unique it is," says Kolb. Human foot traffic wasn't a problem until recent years, she notes, when growth took off in the area. As the population See NAVARRE, Pg. 7A.

It's a sobering thought as county and school board offi- cials realize Santa Rosa lost a tenth of its wealth in the few Short hours of Ivan's visit. Homeowners typically see Their homes assessed at a higher value each year-a product, Officials say, of inflation and the Basic appreciation of homes' worth. That annual increase Alone can equate to a three per- Scent rise in taxes every year. -: But Brown fears, if something :;isn't done, homeowners could be faced with both a higher value on their home and a high- er tax rate on that increased value. Brown also serves as the SPresident of the. Property Appraisers. Association of Florida. He hopes that position will give him the necessary Clout to win someone's ear in Tallahassee. Will his efforts work? He isn't sure. but notes, "I talked with the Governor's office Monday. The\ said the Governor is 'very concerned.' Does that translate into dollars? I: just don'n kno\. I'm in the process of trying to find to. exactly what' that means." SiState leaders have been recepti e to the concept ofhelp- ing counties, but also have, foundd their wallets hit from many directions. Florida legis- 'lators, last year, agreed to allow ;-* homeowners with significant' : damage to apply for a rebate of their property taxes. That Smone;, '.\ ill come from the same Fund Brown hopes the.state will use to reimburse governments. Is there enough? No one has yet Said. S"I just know that we're About to undergo the rebuilding Sof our county," says Brown. "That's a major effort and I'd hate to think we had to try to Accomplish that while shifting another ten to 12 percent onto :: the people that are left. I want Sthe state to realize just how much damage we had."

Both sides of Riverwalk Park, connected by a boardwalk under the Blackwater River bridge, will be filled with fine artists and heritage artists. "It's even a bigger show this year," says Pat D'Asaro, one of the event organizers. "We've really worked hard get- ting it together and invite every- one to come out." "It's the only fine arts festi- val we have in downtown Milton," says organizer Cecile Stephens, who helped start the event 17 years ago. Stephens points out this year will be the first time the Fine Arts Festival will have the Veterans Memorial Plaza to offer visitors an added river- GREG BROWN Property Appraiser fold. Not only is there suddenly $500 million fewer dollars of value to tax, but after September 16, all construction stopped on the beach. That put all estimates of new, growth- related income in the trashcan. Last year, Santa Rosa had pro- jected new construction value to reach $100 million to $200 million. "All ourioriginal estimates of new construction are now off," says Brown. 'When you stirt seeing the big picture, ypu can really see the magnitude that Ivanis having on us."' , 'But Florida can't simply write a $7.2 million check to solve Santa Rosa's woes. What the state government does for .one hurricane-hit county, it must do for all hurricane-hit counties. Current best-esti- mates of the dollars Florida would have to find to offset all lost county income top $90 to $100 million. "At one time," says Brown, front venue. Saturday's entertainment lineup will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday with the Hobbs Middle School band playing the National. Anthem at the Veteran's Memorial Park. Band Director Charles Samuel chairs the entertainment for this year's festival. The Avalon Middle School Chorus will perform at 10:45 a.m., followed by South Bound at noon. After lunch, the Killarney Irish Players and the Emerald Coast School of Traditional Irish Dance will be at .1 p.m., Mike Diamond at 2 p.m., and Paul Heath and Friends at 3 p.m. In the Heritage Arts area "I had heard Florida had a great deal of excess sales tax revenue from reconstruction. Is it enough to meet everyone's needs? I just don't know. We're all in there, trying to get our dollars, but when you're talking state-wide, money can go pretty fast." Brown has forwarded his information to state leaders. In a letter to area Representatives and State Senators, he wrote, "This (loss) will cause a shift in the tax burden to those in Santa Rosa County that did not lose their homes completely, but it's not to say they didn't suffer damage. With the cost of insur- ance deductibles, most of our citizens will experience loss in their 'personal financial resources. The shift in the tax burden will be through no fault of their own." Brown tells state leaders, "I believe Santa Rosa County to be one of the worst-hit counties along with Escambia in terms of catastrophic damage within the State of Florida. This is not to say other counties didn't experience catastrophic dam- age, but it is to say the relation- ship of lost value to the total taxable value in the county is greater., Percentage wise, -to date, Santa Rosa County is going to experience a loss of nearly 8.5 percent of its taxable value due to Hurricane Ivan." And all this, Brown notes, is at the same time as Santa Rosa deals with the additional costs of restored lost or dam- aged infrastructure. Story written by Jim Fletcher.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency's long-term recovery efforts in both Santa Rosa and Escambia Counties have garnered con- siderable interest, input and desired needs, which we hope will result in positive changes in the days ahead. ' Where all the money is expected to come from to pay for all the things that are both wanted and needed remains questionable, but we're' all opti- mistic that, as our community's wounds heal, our prayers will be answered. Manna from Heaven is in our dreams and there are hopes that Uncle Sam will come to our fman- cial rescue. Our pleas for help are also being directed to Tallahassee, and we're sure the coffers on the local level will also be a considered source of recovery revenue. But one thing needs to be asked-how are we going to pay for all that we want? There's no "free lunch" in all this as evidenced in recent sugges- tions by state lawmakers who are calling for increasing the state's sales tax and local officials wanting to put impact fees in place, raise the local option sales tax and even increase the local gaso- line tax. So while we're making out our.wish lists, let's all fully understand those we are looking upon to fulfill those wishes will look toward additional fees and more taxes to pay for all these things we say we want. No one should think, just because we "want" all these post-Ivan things, that they will simply magically appear. And something we have found interesting from these meetings is that much of what partici- pants "want" are the very same wants that existed well before Hurricane Ivan. Cries for more low-to-moderate income hous- ing, sports complexes, new roads and Widening those already at capacity building community cen- ters, constructing paths for pedestrians and bicy- clists and expanding toursm have little or nothing to do with what Hurricane Ivan did last September. Hurricane Ivan didn't just create our enormous traffic and transportation problems. While the influx of out-of-state workers may ,have com- pounded the situation, we have been complaining about traffic congestion and the lack of more routes for a long time. We've known the people of Pace want a com- munity center, butthat has absolutely nothing to do with hurricane recovery...does it? We all want the things people have been crying about in these "recover'" meetings, but the bottom line is: who will pay for all of this? What will really be interesting, and something we're looking forward to seeing. is just exactly how our elected county commissioners and state lawmakers deal w ith these long w ish lists.' SLet's not forget many of the things that have surfaced aren't new and have absolutely nothing to do with what Hurricane I[an did to our communi- ties. . Most of problems \e are hearing about simple\ aren't new; they were.just compounded by Hurricane Ivan. Nevertheless, the pressure is now on our elect-' ed officials to react. Ho%\ the\ do and \what it \till S meaninsofaras additional taxanon and fees is any- one's guess. S But that old saying holds true: Be careful what you wish for.. You just might get it. : : MARCH 9. 2005 G Santa :D . azette VOL. 97.

Bush, who finished with a "C"' average in undergraduate history at Yale, says he's. pretty much figured out the answer to Social Security's future sol\ency needs. Bush defines the complete issue as a "crisis," in need of ''reform." His solution? Kill Social Securita and instead "allow" people to spend their working lives building private, stock mar- ket-financed retirement annuities that experts agree will be far too little tosupport them until death. Retiree income would depend on "whatever por- tion of portfolio assets, if any, earns a better than a\ er- age return. Bush's stock market scheme presupposes first- that an already speculation-bloated market will per- form well over 'time,. and second-that people will make enough to afford a decent portfolio to begin with. Workers who gamble their savings just enough to beat inflation without causing financial ruin should receive something, Bush and his .banker pals assure us. Enough for a dignified old age? For every American who worked a lifetime? The plan makes some extremely optimistic assumptions and still does- n't come close to addressing those questions. Whether returns can even approach meeting Social Security's current programmed levels, say financial experts, is unlikely. On the other hand, the benefit to Bush's wealthy global financier cronies is clear-a rich revenue stream of former public trust fund money to bolster increasingly unstable, speculation-based financial markets. "Pri atization" w would funnel what are now public dollars to an ever-growing army of Wall Street leech- es-who produce nothing tangible, but skim nullions in fees glomming onto financial transactions created by everybody else's efforts. It would. no doubt, also increase America's pool of desperate working poor-a demographic. the Third \'orld teaches, that tends to be far more obedient and accepting oflowwages and unfair labor pracuces. Maybe that's why Bush is so interested in destroying working America's retirement security to finance primate stock sales. It's easy to see who his S"reform" is designed to "benefit." Just about everybody else gets to keep working right up until death. That could prove challenging- S.Wal-IMart only needs so many greeters. after all, forc- ing future senior \workers to compete w\th broke 20- year olds for burger flipping jobs. But in presenting his idea to the current genera- tion of 20-'ear olds. Bush takes cheap advantage of .America's youth. who ha e little idea toda ~hat a future as poor, unemployable old I people holds for them tomorrow\. It's all part of a grandiose ne\\ "otw nership socie- t\." explains Bush. %those brainstorm arrives not a moment too soon, considering the $427 billion budg- et deficit he has managed to forge from the previous administration's projected surplus. That's not counting the trillions his Social SSecurity "privatization" scheme is expected to cost. That's our hard-earned money. And it's likely to fall on future middle and lower income taxpayers and small businesses to co\er those deficit shortfalls, since tax cuts for large corporations and the wealthy are themselves in no danger of ,"reform" any time soon. Indeed, for America's shrinking.'middle class, the future may not leave much room for "own- ership" of anything other than the massive debts that currently saddle most American workers. 'In a civilized world, people who work hard deserve a decent living, and those who work all their lives, a decent retirement. But just paying for Bush's spending habits and lavish tax break gifts to corporate pals-much less funding retirement portfolios-will prove a bit chal- lenging as American jobs continue to disappear over- seas. Especially since much resulting profit has been funneled not to portfolio shareholders, but into execu- tive pockets. In fact, a joint Institute for Policy Studies-United for a Fair Economy study, available at http://www.faireconomy.org/press/2004/EE2004.pdf, s it all wrong finds those, CEOs who got the biggest raises in recent years were the very same ones who "outsourced" the most American jobs out of the country. Those companies were also among the biggest campaign contributors to both major political parties. CEOs at America's largest corporations got an average file percent raise last year. bringing their average compensation level to $10.7 million Crirently, income above $90.000 is not traed towards Social Security. America's elite say they shouldn't have to pa} for something that "doesn't benefit them." But in the same breath, they're lobbying Washington to make sure it's we \\ ho foot the bill for shoring up wobbly financial networks, further enrich- ing themselves in the process. Increasingly expensive gas, groceries, mort- gages, insurance premiums, transportation, taxes, fees, and a host of other middle class transactions inflate the Global Corporatocracy's bottom line-and nickel and dime the rest of us-a little bit more ever) day. (Taxes and fees fund fat government "study" and other contracts of dubious value that, through "out- sourcing," provide a route to legally transfer wealth from the public to selected private firms). At the same time, more U.S. jobs, many from those very firms, disappear overseas and the resulting profits finance lifestyles of the rich and ever more greedy. Now-that global corporate echelon has set their 'sights on lootng America's senior safety net to finance their own interests. Some are not even American citizens. And Its they who are pushing "reform" to decision-making politicians. But, in fact, little actually needs reform at all. Three rather obvious measures, which benefit middle and lower income Americans (and all Americans except the wealthiest are sliding'towards the lower end of the spectrum in terms of real income), stand out. They are simple. One: raise the retirement ageto. between 67 'and 70. The SSAB estimates that would reduce future deficits by 22%. Two: limit benefits for people with higher incomes and tie them to the cost of li\vitig. This could potentially eliminate 75% of the. deficit, say SSAB analysts. Three: increase the amount wealthy individuals and corporations con- tribute to\ yards e\ erybody else's old-age security. The, SSAB estimates this could potentially eliminate between 68% and 91 offuture deficits. S Raising the amount of Social Security taxes paid .at the high end of the spectrum could e\en allow\ for cutting .taxes paid by middle and lower income employees, as \xell as' smaller employers-a move that \would spur small business, individual savings and domestic commerce.. But Bush. whose own net worth is estimated bet\ een $9 and $26 million, has stridently opposed,, suggestions the health .contribute to everybody' else's old-age pool. His corporate buddies agree. SThese aren't local entrepreneurs creating American jobs and driving industry-many are born- wealthy financiers.and international corporate execu- tives who are actually being paid to cut American jobs. , Nonpartisan economists say, adjusting the cur- rent Social Security system can make future percent- ages line up. .Whether professional economists and statisti- cians know better than a moneyed politician with a historically mediocre domestic policy grasp is unfor- tunately, no longer in the hands of affected voters to judge. It's now up to the politicians who accepted all those corporate "contributions." Why should the wealthy be expected to con- tribute toward the majority public's well being? Perhaps because nobody gets, or stays, rich in a vacuum-it takes a vast network of community activ- ities and transactions to grease the. system, generate wealth, and avoid anarchy. And that's where the "ben- efit" ultimately comes in for upper income brackets. It's a good bet Donald Trump and Paris Hilton- not to mention Saudi royalty with U.S. holdings- aren't worried about their retirement. What kind of hardships paying their fair share would create for America's top income bracket is dif- ficult to say. But it would certainly ease things up for the increasingly squeezed working majority, and "reform" Social Security, to any extent it needs to be, in the bargain.

Sing. And the numbers have con- tinued to rise. In January, traffic counts on the bridge reached S119,428. In all, the area's Ivan-relat- ed traffic congestion could spell good news for .the troubled span. After decades of hoping and planning, the Garcon Point Bridge opened in 2001. But it. was almost immediately met with traffic counts considerably lower than original estimates. Initially, officials were not concerned, saying a "ramp up"' time was expected as motorists learned the new route was avail- able. But as the months went by, the numbers did not increase as much as hoped. With lower-than-hoped-for revenues, the Authority found itself regularly having to dip into contingency funds to make its twice-annual bond pay- ments. In an attempt. to raise rev- enue, an increase in tolls was ordered. While the higher crossing rate did result in more income, it was still insufficient to make the span self-sustain- Sing.

Reach her at: ,Nelson@sr-pg.com and shelter programs in the area. The selection was made by a National Board that is chaired by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and consists of representatives When the $95 million bridge opened, it did so with over a $9 million reserve account set aside for times when there was a revenue short- fall. . Twice a year, the bridge Authority must make an approximately $2.3 million payment. Historically, the span has found itself $300,000 to $500,000 short of' these amounts and has regular dipped into the reserve till. With more than two years of construction ahead for I-10 and many more delays antici- pated on that route in that time, traffic on the Garcon Point Bridge is likely to continue to, rise. That could be good news for the bridge which, as planned when it was built-serned as a. vital link during Hurricane Ivan. The span made its January 1 payment and will most cer- tainly, officials 'note, do so again in July. Ironically; the Authority never really knows how much money it has for payments until just days before the payment. That's because, "we never real- ly see the money," says Garnett Breeding, who still serves in an ad\isor, capacity. "The DOT contracts for collection of the tolls and the monies go straight. to the Bank of New York in, Jacksonville. They usually out off the deposits around 'the 29th. "That means the Authority will not likely know the exact amount of the short- age until just one or two days before the payment due date." SWith approximately $7 mil-. lion remaining in reserves, the Authority is certain to continue for several years, but officials say they can see a time-10 or more years down the road- when income could become a problem if traffic numbers, do not substantially increase. Additional, development along Avalon Blvd. could create more traffic and solve the bridge's problems, but Avalon Blvd. is currently at capacity and State officials say Florida does not have the necessary funds to \widen the roadway. While talk of a Garcon Point bridge can be found in newspaper reports of more than, 50 years ago, it was not until a legislative act in 1984 created from The Salvation Army; American Red Cross; Council of Jewish Federations; Catholic Charities, USA; National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.; and, The United Way of America which will the Authority that work began in earnest. Originally, the span was to have cost $45-million, but the bridge was held up by environ- mentalists and other hurdles which ultimately saw the cost rise to the nearly $95-million figure. The Garcon Point bridge links north and south Santa Rosa. Prior to the creation of the span, the only way to get to south Santa Rosa was either to drive, through Escambia County, cross into. Gulf Breeze and backtrack down Highway 98, or travel the dangerously. curvy and accident-prone Highway 87 south. The need for the bridge was underscored, officials say, more than a decade ago when a barge struck the Pensacola Bay Bridge--taking.that span out of service for more than a month. Gulf Breeze residents- who worked just across the bay in Pensacola-found them- selves having to drive all the way to Navarre to Highway 87 north, then up to Milton, the west on 90 to get to Pensacola. Opponents to the bridge have, from the beginning, ques- tioned the span. Many said it was a "bridge to nowhere" and doubted the bridge would even see its current 4,000 vehicles per day. But Authority members remain confident that, given enough time, the span will become profitable. And they continue to look for cost-cut- ting measures that can help to make ends meet.

Sisk, and her hus- band 'US Navy LCDR (Ret.) Steven K. Sisk, visited Milton for the first time, they immedi- ately fell in love with every- thing it represented to them: a desirable environment with friendly people, a good eco- nomic-climate, and the opportu- nity of a lifetime to work. together and eventually retire in an area they liked. That was more than two years ago, and today both are happy to say those observations and aspirations are continuing to unfold through their profes- sional endeavors at Milton Animal Hospital, a veterinary practice and animal hospital- clinic which offers individual- ized attention and services in a New Choices for.

"We basically looked up and down the country for a place to relocate, from Erie, Pennsylvania to South Florida, but it was Milton that won us over," Steven said. "The cli- mate here is great, and we found the people to be the most welcoming, much more so than in some of the faster paced communities." Finding the Milton Animal Hospital available clinched their decision, and Dr. Sisk and her husband bought it from its previous owner in January of 2003. In its operation the\ ha\ e continued to nmaina and enhance its excellent reputation as one of the major veterinary practices along the Gulf Coast. "Acquiring this facility was the excellent chance that my wife and me had been looking for to work together as a team," Steven explained. "She does the \eterinarN work, and I do the management work."

She has more than 16 years of experience, with specialty interests in veterinary pediatrics and laser surgery, a field in which she has had advanced training.

But it's not only the skills and professional acumen of Milton Animal Hospital's own- ers that make it a unique and environmentally accommodat- ing place. Much of the excellent service and quality care it offers comes from a combination of the compassionate staff and state of the art facilities in- house and available to its patients. SPrimarily a small animal practice designed for the treat- ment and care for small' ani- mals, including dogs and cats, Milton Animal Hospital offers an extensive variety of services, including pet health care, bathing, boarding, nail trims, dental work, laser surgery, and ultrasound diagnostics. In addition to routine vacci- nations and physical exams for your pets, other offerings include spaying and neutering, pharmacy; extensive diagnostic capabilities (laser, ultrasound, x-rays, EKG, etc.) and laborato- ry and dietary management. Laser surgery and ultra- sound are almost essential in any' veterinary practice today, and at Milton Animal Hospital they are readily available. ,Often, the only way to deter- mine if there is an internal prob- lem besieging your pet is by looking at the internal organs.. By using ultrasound tech- nology, the vet can visualize the heart, kidneys, bladder, stom- ach, liver, and other organs to help determine the pet's condi- tion. A number of conditions can be diagnosed with ultrasound which include enlarged hearts, bladder diseases, tumors, and kidney and bladder stones. Other useful technological tools employed at Milton Animal Hospital are the endo- scope aiind otoscope. With the endoscopp the veterinarian is able to reach a visual x iew\ of the pet's insides through a tube down the throat into the stom- 4ch. The otoscope, on the other hand, is useful in reaching the shorter depths of the ears, nose, and throat. Both tools are extremely valuable in fulfilling the commitment that Milton Animal Hospital. makes to its patients.

But that interest, sa\ offi- Scials, could prove fatal to the fragile area., "You go out there in the summer now, and there are (footprint) trails going over the dunes," says Kolb. "That's the first step in destroying them." The dunes are the only ones still standing at Navarre Beach, say officials. Preservationists are work- ing with various preservation groups, including the Nature Conservancy, Federal Fish and Wildlife and the Gulf Coastal Plain Ecosystem Partnership. "They've all agreed this is the way to protect it," says Kolb. "I haven't talked to any- body whose career is to protect the environment who doesn't think this is a wonderful idea." Commission Chair Gordon Goodin says some residents across the street from the area 1 are concerned the changes would bring nighttime "beer parties" and other intrusions into the area. Kolb plan's to meet with law enforcement representatives this week to iron, out an over- sight plan for the area. That could include closing the beach at night, and limiting access numbers during the day.

The following story was brought in by a local pastor who received it from one of his members who found it on the internet. This is worth sharing with all our readers. I was parked in front of the mall wiping off my car. I had just come from the car wash and was waiting for my wife to get out of work. Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would consid- er a bum. From the looks of him, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes, and no money. There are times when you feel generous, but there fre other times that you just don't want to be bothered. This was one of those "don't want to be both- ered times." "I hope he doesn't ask me for any money," I thought. He didn't. He came and sat on the curb in front of the bus stop, but didn't look like he could have enough money to even ride the bus. After a few minutes he' spoke. "That's a very pretty car,", he said. He was ragged, but he had an air of dignity around him. His scraggly blond beard could not keep more than' his face warm. I said; "Thanks,"'and continued wip- ing off my car. He sat there qui- etly as I worked. The expected plea for money never came. As the silence between us widened something inside said, "Ask him if he needs any help." I was sure that he would say "Yes", but I held true to the inner voice; "Do you need any help?" I asked. He answered in three simple but profound words that I shall never forget. We often look for wisdom in great men and women,. :We expect it from those of higher learning and accomplishments. I expected nothing but an out- stretched grimy hand. He spoke the three words that shook me. "Don't we all?" he questioned. I was feeling high and mighty, successful and impor- tant, above a bum in the street, until those three words hit me like a twelve gage shotgun. Don't we all? I needed help. Maybe not for bus fare or a place to sleep, but I needed' help. I reached in my wallet and gave him not only enough for bus fare, but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the day. Those three little words still ring true. No matter how much you have, no matter how much you have accomplished, you need help too. No' matter how little you have, no matter how loaded you are with problems, even without money or a place to sleep, you can give help. Even if it's just a compliment, you can give that. You never know when you may see some- one that appears to have it all. They are waiting onyou to give them what they don't have., A different perspective on life, a glimpse at something beautiful, a respite from daily chaos, that only you through a torn world can see. Maybe the man was just' a homeless stranger wandering the streets. Maybe he was more than. that. Maybe he \\3a sent by a power that is great and ise. to minis- ter to a soul too comfortable in themselves. Maybe God looked down, called an Angel, dressed him like a bum, then said, "Go min- ister to that man cleaning the. cat, that man needs help." Don't we all? Hank win First Place!

Wednesday March 9, 2005 iAsk the Preacher ...a weekly column answering your questions i with Biblical answers about life. Dear Pastor Gallups, "I know that you did a teaching on the Bible Truth about Homosexuality. Could you please give that list of Scripture references herein your column?" M.S., East Milton Dear M.S., It would be my pleasure. I hope this helps you. Below are the scriptures that I use and a brief description of their .content. You can find them and the quotation of the scriptures at our website,, www.hickoryhammockbaptist.org. Genesis 13:13 God calls The MEN of Sodom wicked. Genesis 18:20; 19:4-5-we discover that at least a part of that I "wickedness" was homosexuality. Leviticus 18:22, 24-30; 20:13-God's Law strictly and clearly forbids HOMOSEXUALITY! The penalty for this activity is death. - Deuteronomy 22:5-the Lord forbids- homosexual "dressing" and cross-dressing. Judges 19:22-homosexuals are called "wicked". Numbers 23:19-God says that he does not change His mind about His law or Word. Malachi 3:6-God says that he does not change His mind about His law or Word. . Romans 1:26-28-The whole topic of homosexuality is addressed and its spiritual origins are exposed. Homosexuality is called: "Sinful desires, shameful lusts, sexual impurity, degrading, a lie, perversion" Timothy l:8-I1-"per\ert" comes from Greek Word (arsenokoitias) that means, Sodomite or Homosexual specifi- cally "a man who has sex with another man". I Sexual Immoralit\: is ANYTHING including homosexuall- ty, of course) that is clearlN against the nature and will of God regarding our sexuality as defined by God's Word. From the Scriptures above...Homosexuality is clearly in the category of "sexual immorality". The Bible has much to say about those who "live" ini sexual immorality: Hebrews 13:4-Sexual Immorality Condemned. I Corinthians 6:9-10-WILL NOT INHERIT THE KING- DOM OF GOD Ephesians 5:3-7-WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD Galatians 5:19-21-WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD Revelation 22:14-15-WILL NOT INHERIT THE KING- DOM OF GOD Dear M.S., As you can see from this study-Homosexuality is a sin, it will take a person to Hell, you cannot be a homosexual AND a Christian and God calls it a "perversion". Please know that God's word is also clear that one can come dut of Homosexuality, be bom-again and serve Jesus with their life!

After checking into the hotel, .students experienced their first ride on the Metro and then an after- noon with weather in the teens at Arlington Cemetery viewing the changing of the guard, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, President Kennedy's grave, the graves of Jackie Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Chappie James, Lee Marvin, Audie Murphey, and many other American heroes. Students saw Robert E. Lee's home, Arlington House. and learned that the cemetery was Robert E. Lee's farm. (As punishment to Robert E. Lee for joining the Confederacy instead of the Union side. President Lincoln had the Union war dead buried on Lee's farm.) Day one ended with dinner. orienta- 12-degree temperatures would warm before time for the exploration of Freedom Park, a study visit to the Iwo Jima War Memorial, lunch in one of D. C.fs neighborhoods, a judicial seminar, and a tour of the Big Four Memorials. After the evening meal, students got their second wind during a heated debate between a D. C. conservative and a liberal as they argued domestic issues. As students began to suspect that they should have slept all week before leaving for the Close-Up experience, large snowflakes began to fly and the Floridians watched four inches of snow fall while they progressed from the Jefferson Memorial to the FDR Memorial. Students learned that AMERICA'S FUTURE ROCKS as the First Couple greeted the thou- sands of teens who helped them cele- brate the week. Rubin Studdard, Miss America.

Friday and free day. There were no planned Close-Up activities, but Mrs. Jones and the students had to decide which of one hundred options meant the most to them. During the morning as their eek neared the end, they met Congressman Jeff Miller on the steps of the Capitol for pictures. and then he gained entrance to the Capitol for the group. First, to the Rotunda and a view of the beautiful. architecture, Congressman leff Miller answering students' questions.

Knowing it \\as near lunch time and that there u\as an under- ground cafeteria in the Long'.\orth Buildn g across the street, Mrs. Jones, decided her students needed lunch- fast. By 2:00 and their exit from the building, things \\ere calmer on ithe Htil,i but the opportunity to finish the tour had left an hour earlier with Congressman Miller on his plane ride home to Florida. The last afternoon in Washington was spent at the Holocaust Museum and shopping for souvenirs. The final banquet and dance and then hours of sorting though mountains of clothes in the hotel rooms consumed the hours unul about 3:00 a.m. Saturday morn- ing. The last two days of the Washington trip were filled with weather forecasts of the arrival of a blizzard on Saturday. DC. residents were shopping for their storm much as Florida residents do before hurricanes. The local ne\ s showed long checkout lines in grocery stores as "the locals" stocked up on batteries, canned food. and toilet tissue. Saturday morning broke u\ ith ,lots of white stuff fluttenng to the ground. As the students attempt- ed to step from the hotel and across the side walk to the '\ taking bus, more than one slipped and fell. Road conditions were deteriorating ery rapidly. but the bus driver made ens\ work of getting us to Reagan Airport in the nearly deserted streets. Watching front a viewpoint in the airport. conditions made tra elers fear that they needed to find a comfortable spot for a long stay. The SRC group was told if their plane got in the air that they would be the last flight to Florida.

President's Report Recently several of our Board members along with Lloyd Hinote, Executive Director, and Frank Lay, Principal, Pace High, School had the opportu- nity to provide input to several FEMA representatives regard- ing our community's long-term recovery needs from Hurricane Ivan. We presented our recom- mendations for improvement in various areas and also dis- cussed the recommendations offered by the FEMA represen- tatives. We shared our major concerns as far as education, environment transportation and many other concerns. The -Lloyd Hinote PACE FEMA representatives shared with our group that FEMA has been successful in many com- munities in Florida by institu- tion a goal-oriented process centered around the input received from citizens. They also stated that they were here to "LISTEN" as we define our future and that it is our vision, not theirs I would like to encourage all residents of Pace to take this excellent opportunity to partic- ipate. It is the time for all of us to make a concerned effort to the building initiative or our Pace community. The FEMA team is comprised of housing and economic development experts, planners, and architects and hopefully within the next several weeks they will devote time to gov- ernmental officials, community leaders and, more importantly, our local residents in an effort to develop the suggestions and ideas of our community into an extremely well- defined com- prehensive plan. As spring approaches I would like to encourage all residents and businesses to work a little harder to beautify our great community.

But with Air Products, that is just what the Pace community and the wider Santa Rosa- Escambia county community got..Sincel969, Air Products has seen its businesses grow around the globe. What hasn't changed, however, is a corpo- rate culture that remains dedi- cated to its communities, its employees and its customers. As a result, Air Products has received a number of accolades for its.corporate responsibility and sustainability. In 2003, Air Products achieved a notable environmen- tal goal, the removal of all dis- charge into Escambia Bay. This voluntary decision, made after a Recommendation by the plant's 14 year-old community adviso- ry panel (CAP) and at a cost of $1 million to the company, was recognized by The Pensacola News Journal. 'In 2004, the News Journal wrote in an edito- rial, "Air Products' efforts are a big step in the right direction."

The ponds are about a mile from Escaibia Bay and contain plants and bac- teria that further reduce the nutrients in the treated dis- charge. Air Products' land, which stretches along Escambia Bay, is also home to a diverse popu- lation of plant and animal life, native to coastal Northwest Florida. The company, cog- nizant' of its role in a rapidly growing and developing region, hosts a wildlife sanctuary that helps ensure the preservation of a natural environment for future generations. A number of local environmental organiza- tions, including the Audubon Society, routinely tour the wildlife sanctuary. In addition to caring about the environment, Air Products prides itself on it focuson safe- ty.

"We're so grateful for the warm eco one Pace facility earned the highest honor from OSHA, the federal worker's safety monitoring organization, and was re-certi- fied by OSHA in 2003. So aware is Air Products of worker safety that in 2003 the company's "recordable" injury rate was 0.68 per 200,000 hours worked, a decrease of 12 percent compared to the previ- ous year. The current injury rate is. the best ever for employees and is far below the industry rate of 2.5 injuries for every 200,000 hours worked. "At Air Products, we want to be as efficient and profitable as we can be while at the same time maintaining close ties to the community, being aware of otur ehica.l iesponsibilities. and being good stewards of the. environment," sid Emert. "We live and work in this area. Like many others in Pace and the surrounding area, a large part of the appeal in living here is its n.itural beut\ We want to not onl protect that beauti- ful environment, but enhance it." SAs such, Air Products has set a high standard for corpo- rate responsibili. including being named one of the "100 Best Corporate Citizens" in 2003 by Business Ethics Magazine. In that issue Air Products was extolled on a list that celebrates public compa- nies "who serve a variety' of stakeholders well," among them communities, minorities, women, employees, .and the environment. Air Products has also faired well in the Calvert Fund', ETHIBEL', and Dutch Tridos Bank's indexes of social and corporate responsibility. And Governance Metrics International gives Air- Products a rating in the top one percent of 2,121 companies. worldwide. "We are a company that is keenly aware of its social responsibilities worldwide," Emert said. "But we also focus locally. Our employees are invested in this community and so is Air Products'."

In baseball action Milton won two games in a row by downing Gulf Breeze 11-1 on Fridj-i and Woodham 5-4 on Wednesday. Against Gulf Breeze the Panthers banged out 10 hits and capitalized on four Dolphin errors. Ryan Cabaniss was the only Milton player with more than one hit as he went 2-for-3 on the day, whilee Bubba Mack broke the game open for the Panthers \ ith a tI o-run homer in the second inning.

Story written by Bill Gamblin, Jr. Reach him at sports @ s-pg.cow : Stewart Continued From Page One During the Nextel Cup's last stop in California there was a huge difference as not only did the aero package change due to a reduction in the rear spoiler height, but NASCAR also impounded the cars for the first time after qualifying. "NASCAR is looking for equality within all makes," said Stewart. "It might hurt you to begin with, but it forces you to adjust your thinking. "What you have to do is just roll with the punches and realize that NASCAR is trying to help you as a team." For Stewart this season is creating some excitement with the addition of 2001 Craftsman Truck Series Rookie of the Year Travis Kvapil, who will also be competing for. NASCAR's Raybestos Rookie of the Year title. "Tra\is has impressed me this season \\ith our test ses- sions at Las Vegas, Da) tona, Lakeland (Fla.), and Kersha~." said Stewart. "Our cars are get- ting better and everything is look real well. "A good ,day at the track not only reflects well on the driver, but the team overall." Despite his desire to work for a NASCAR team, Stewart knew it was going to take a lot of work. "This is not something you just wake up and do," said Stewart. "When I was 14 to 15 \ears old I was driving a dirt. car for my step-father Buddy Miller. "In the beginning you dream of moving up and mak- ing it to the big show, but I learned by working on my car more than I did as a driver." So how did this former Milton resident who was work- ing in the Gulfport shipyards find his way to Mooresville. "My wife (Jamie) went to Clemnson University to get her graduate degree in mechanical engineering." said Stewart. "She did her thesis on the han- dling characteristics of a stock car and landed an internship at Penske South. "She didn't get a job after her internship, but she did get an invitation to the Penske Christmas Party. We were talk- ing to'some individuals and I met the crew chief and in January. of 2004 they offered me a job." After getting the job with Penske, Stewart went to work in the shop and also started travel- -ing. "Being part of the crew that works on the car you spend a lot of time on the road." Stewart admitted. "It took me a while to get acclimated, but now I enjoy the travel." Some might think that all of this travel would be hard on a relationship, but for Stewart and his wife this is nothing new. "We met at South Alabama and then she moved so she could attend Clemson." Stewart recalled. "We got married in October, but since we have been together our relationship has been very unorthodox. "While she was at Clemson ' we had a rule that one weekend a month I would not i ce while in Alabama and we would see each other; luckily there were only three races a month held at Opp (South Alabama)." For Stewart he is not upset that he is not driving, but is enjoying the life he has dreamed about since an early age. "We weren't that good as a race team when I was a driver, but I learned to look at the big picture," recalled Stewart. "I am where I am today because I learned something every time I was at the track. "How the car reacted when I made an adjustment or tried a different component; by learn- ing something I gained." It was even more interesting when Rust\ Wallace's son Stephen won the 37th Annual Snowball Derby. "I knew the race was a big deal, but I didn't realize how big it was to everyone in Mooresville," said Stewart. "They talked about how impor- tant it was to do well in the derby. "I am glad that Stephen did so well at the derb\ and that the Bryant's have taken over the track because they have meant so much to racing in the area and I am sure they will do a fine job." If you look real close this Sunday you might even see Stewart as a crew member dur- ing pit stops at the UAW- DaimlerChrysler 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. "I am not a member of the over the wall crew during a pit stop," said Stewart. "But I help with things like tires, hoses, and other items during the race from behind the wall."

"I really appreciate Heather and what she meant to our vol- leyball team," said Milton vol- leyball coach Brad Grice. "She was one of the meanest girls on the team. "Now those of us that know Heather realize she isn't mean, but that she just hates to lose." After basketball Riley switched her focus to basketball where one of her more memo- rable shots came during the District 2-4A semi-finals against Pace when she scored with one knee on the floor. "Heather is one of the best examples of what hard work will do for you," said Milton girls' basketball coach Chuck Douglass. "She did everything she could to make herself abet- s Gazette photo by. Bill Gamblin, Jr. ter player. "She wants to win and be successful at anything she does and I feel she will make a tremendous impact at PJC," For Riley, she loves sports, but her participation was more of an outlet to release some stress. "Athletics is my release for stress," said Riley. "Today is very exciting and very flattering for me. "I never thought about playing sports in college." Since she first talked to Coach Pena, Riley wondered what she did to impress Coach Pena to offer her a scholarship. "I talked to him about PJC and have wondered until today what I did to impress him," said Riley. "I am very glad that he feels I have enough potential to help me improve as a volleyball player." Riley will be joining fellow Lady Panther Amie McMillion at PJC.
