The thing is that each job pays some- thing different from the man or woman who works on the sewer line to the person who is responsible for public safety. In today's economic downturn, the wages of not only workers, but also those elected to office have come into question, especially with howit relates to the Federal Poverty Level as it is according to the fed- eral government.

In September, the newly ap- pointed United Way campaign di- rector set a goal only $1,000 less than what was raised last year. Sixty percent of the $264,000 objective has been raised this year thanks to donations from around the county. The Santa Rosa County United Way's funds are sitting a little under where they were during this time last year, but aren't far behind. "It's not going as strong as it was last year," Parson said. "We are fall- ing in some areas, but without our donors, we wouldn't be where we are at right now." A lot of what is keeping the United Way from reaching their goal is job worries, according to the director. Jobless rates in the nation recently hit 10 percent, a big jump from where they were last year. "People are worried about their jobs," said Parson. Jobless rates are still on the rise, but according to Parson, corporate matches are what will help the non-profit hit its goal by the end of the year. Parson said that paycheck contributions have helped tremen- dously, and corporate matches have not been collected as of yet. "We're hoping that the corpo- rate matches come through by the end of the year," Parson said. With the campaign year almost over, there are still events they plan to contribute to. The Marine Corps Toys for Tots program will be under way soon, and Parson said there will be more information available as December draws near. "We help facilitate the Toys for Tots, and we're still in need of par- ticipants," Parson said. Those interested in Toys for Tots are urged to contact the Unit- ed Way by Dec. 1.

No one likes to pick a number; wait an hour; and when they are called to the counter, find out they don't have the proper documents to get what they need. What many don't realize is the Florida DMV has a Web site and a phone line that has helped provide answers to any questions a person might have before they come in for a service. DMVs also are looking for ways to eliminate long lines and waiting times.

'. ,._ A2 I Santa Roas's Press Gazette LT oal Wednesday, November 25, 2009 Mavericks improve warrior skills with combatives training By Sgt. JOHN STOLES Special to the Press Gazette BAGHDAD - A soldier can't always depend on marksmanship to survive on the battlefield. Sometimes, a soldier's only weapons are hands, feet and a warrior's determination. Soldiers from the 1st Cav- alryDivision'sSpecialTroops Battalion tested their ability to preserve themselves and their battle buddies without weapons, by engaging in Level I combatives certifi- cation to cap off a week of training on Camp Liberty, here, Nov. 13. Two soldiers faced each other in the middle of the mat, while the other soldiers erupted into cheers of en- couragement. Spc. Larisa Neskovic, a medic from Jay, Fla., took the role of the enemy. First Lt. Aimee Feliz, a main sup- ply platoon leader from Fair- fax, Va., stepped up to fight alone and without a weapon. Once the two touched fists to start the fight, Nes- kovic immediately began to pummel Feliz in the head. Feliz struggled to hold Nes- kovic in a clinch hold to stop the blows as their deep breaths became audible in the room. Once Feliz finally held Neskovic in one of the three clinch holds required for the course - the modi- fied seatbelt, rear clench and under hooks clench - the match was over. Such matches went on for an hour, with male and female soldiers 'all going against each other, regard- less of the size difference. Soldiers who demonstrated proficiency in the three clench holds were awarded the Level I certificate. Sgt. 1st Class Matthew Haynes, teaches unarmed combatives up to Level III for DSTB troops. "What we try to bring out in these soldiers is con- fidence and the warrior ethos," said Haynes. "I feel PHOTO BY SGT. JON SOLES Spc. Larisa Neskovic (left), of Jay, Fla., punches at the head of 1st Lt. Aimee Feliz of Fairfax, Va., as she closes in during Level I unarmed combatives, here, Nov. 13. pretty confident that they can encounter the enemy on the battlefield and totally fin- ish the fight." Haynes said Level I fo- cuses on 13 core moves and proficiency is determined by the ability to perform the three clenches. Level I certi- fication requires 40 hours of instruction spread out over a week Soldiers who earn their Level I certification may advance to Level II. Capt. Seth Gould, who tuns the unarmed combat- ives program, said hand-to- hand fighting is intended to be a contingency in case a . soldier has td fight an enemy alone, or without a weapon. It is intended to preserve a soldier on the battlefield un- til reinforcements arrive. "The guy that wins the fight is the guy whose buddy shows up first, and in the Army, your buddy is never far away," said Gould, a na- tive of Covington, Ga. Soldiers who earned their Level I certification said the training reminded them of the Army Warrior Ethos. Not giving up was the key to staying alive, said Sgt. Orianna Martinez, a supply sergeant from Rutherford- ton, N.C. "I'm going to do every- thing I can to keep the op- ponent from taking me down," said Martinez. "I feel -like quitting is selfish. You can't just give up." Martinez said a realistic aspect of the training was that opponents of diverse sizes and shapes were matched against each other. In a real combat situ- ation, a soldier would hot get to pick the attacker. "It's not the size or the fact that I'm a female that matters," said Martinez. "I'm a soldier; I'm a warrior." Spc. Orlando Garza, a cook from Beeville, Texas, accepted his certificate with blood on his face from the fighting. He said lessons he learned in combatives will help him as a Soldier. "I learned that a warrior never quits," said Garza. "I'm more confident in my- self and it will make me a better Soldier." In addition to teaching fighting skills, the class also helps prepare Soldiers for the violence of hand-to-hand combat. "It teaches them not to be afraid," said Gould. "You don't want to see a soldier get hit in the face the first time in combat." Regardless of military oc- cupational specialty, soldiers are warriors first and must possess the fighting skills to survive and defeat the en- emy on the battlefield. The sweat and blood that was shed in the intense week- long unarmed combatives training may one day mean the difference between life and death for a warrior. Street name ceremony honors former teacher By MATHEW PELLEGRINO mpellegrino@ srpressgazette.com If it means a lot to get your name put on a plaque, imagine how Ethel Dixon of Pace felt when she got a street named after her. ' The former teacher who taught at S.S. Dixon El- ementary for 43 years was recognized throughout the county Wednesday as for- mer students gathered to congratulate the teacher for her years of service to the community. Susan Hicks, Danny Rutherford, and Frank Lay were just a few who gathered to watch Dixon receive her well earned recognition. Pace Chamber, the First National Bank and the County Board of Com- missioner's sponsored the dedication ceremony be- side S.S. Dixon Elementary and First National Bank on Highway 90. As if the sign wasn't al- ready enough, Dixon was awarded an honorary life- time membership by the Chamber of Commerce, and Commissioner Jimmy Williamson proclaimed Nov. 4, 2009 to go down in history as Ethel Dixon Day in the county. . "I'm glad she didn't quit because of me," joked Wil- liamson. "I'm just glad both her and her husband have done so much for this com- munity." ' Dixon has resided in the county with her husband since 1931, and has been recognized for her dedicat-- ed teaching skills through- out her career. She won the Teacher of the Year Award from the county from 1978- 1979, and was awarded the Pace Chamber's Pioneer Award in 2008. "I amn totally in shock," said Dixon about the dedi- cation, "I appreciate every- thing everybody has done for me." Frank Lay spoke at the ceremony on behalf of the Pace Chamber of Com- merce and recognized Dixon for her work in the community. "I have some heroes in my life, and Sam (husband) and Ethel Dixon are one of them/' said Lay. "They both have done so much for Santa Rosa County." After receiving the life- time membership award, Dixon made her way down to the previously unnamed road to cut the ribbon and unveil her new street sign. The road, which was pri- vate before will still remain a private side street, but will now have a permanent name. Dixon's former student and Frank Lay's daughter Casey Lay attended the dedication ceremony, and all of her former students, many of who still reside in the county watched on as the drape fell and unveiled the new sign. Nearly 30 members of the community came out to watch the unveiling as the school she taught at for 43 years stood behind her. Dixon, who is now an honorary member of the Chamber of Commerce said she will continue to serve her community as she has done for most of her life. "I'm happy to be a part of this community," said Dixon.

The appointment strategy, which went into effect years ago, has helped lower the long wait time at DMV offices. The recent tax, tag and title hike, which went into effect in September, hit motorists hard, and is now costing recipients well over $400 to register a new vehicle. Out-of-state drivers are even being asked to bring in their original birth certificate to grant themselves a Florida license. So where does a birth certificate come into play when a person already has a valid driver's license? Dave Westberry, the com- munications director at the Florida Department of High- way Safety and Motor Vehicles, said the state has standard- ized the process of renewing and registering for a driver's license for a long time. "The Real I.D. Act stan- dardized the way individual states registered driver's li- censes," Westberry said. "A lot of states don't require proof of residence, but Florida re- quires you to present more documents. It all varies state to state." Starting Jan. 1, the Florida DMV is kicking off a new cam- paign called Gather Go Get, which informs customers of the new renewal policy, which will require broader identifica- tion.' The Web site, which is avail- able at www.gathergoget.com, gives people who are looking to visit the DMV a list of items to bring with them before they head out the door. "The Web site allows you to make a checklist of the docu- ments you will need prior to * coming to the DMV," Westber- ry said. , Despite the constant bad reputation most people have with the DMV, Westberry said customer satisfaction has been at an all time high. "We do quarterly reports to the government and cabinet members, and we give them statistical data on customer satisfaction," Westberry said. Westberry said he brought a new report before the cabinet on Tuesday, and the reports were still extremely positive. . "We've had 97 percent posi- tive feedback, and we've been able to do this for a long time," Westberry said. One of the ways they have driven up customer satisfac- tion is through appointment scheduling, which has saved time and headaches. "The idea of scheduling an appointment is like scheduling one at a doctor's office. It helps us expedite customers faster and' get them on their way," Westberry said. "It has been a great way to manage folks." Customers can still do the typical walk-in, but. to save time, anyone can call their lo- cal DMV office or schedule an appointment online. As of now, the only thing hurting customers is the tax, tag and title hike that went into effect in September. The price to register a vehicle in the state of Florida is now a whopping $400, and that doesn't include the price to obtain a license if you are out of state. Although the fee seems high, Westberry said Florida hasn't seen a hike in nearly 25 years, so this legislative deci- sion just came as a surprise to many. "A lot of people were shocked at the rate hikes, but what many don't realize is the state hasn't had one in about 25 years," Westberry said. "A lot of people took advantage of the existing rates before the change came in September." . And those who did saved themselves about half off the previous fee. Even with the price jump, Westberry said the DMV is doing all it can to alleviate frustration levels and keep the satisfaction rate up. www.srpressgazette.com T0 ** * 6* iniss GOODIN from page A1 our operations." The cost saving mindset could be what the county needs as state funds slowly begin to deplete. Goodin said he is holding off on a lot of big projects, such as the courthouse, until there is a need for construction. "After the significant expense the county has put into expanding the cur- rent courthouse, this is no longer a front burner issue for me, particularly in this economy," Goodin said. Even the current bridge project that has the Santa Rosa Historical Society in a twist is butting heads with board members, as the county is attempting to move forward into financial recov- ery. Goodin said FDOT is conducting a Preliminary Design and Environmental Study, and the board is waiting for the results before contemplating a decision on the project. "In my mind, it woujd be prudent to wait for the results of this study, and then make an informed decision," Goodin said. "Jumping to .conclusions now could be hasty and wasteful." Even with a long road ahead of him, Goodin said his job is rewarding, and he is looking forward to his new role. "The sense of fulfillment from the job is tremendous," Goodin said. "You meet a wide variety of people with a wide va- riety of interests."

Others close to this pov- erty level is a city of Milton sewer operator at $19,656 and a county road worker at $19,683; a county secretary makes $20,680 a year. Allen wasn't the only one shocked at the numbers. "What stands out to me is the head honchos are get- ting the largest pay," Mark Viau said. 'And it is sad to see workers like those in the sewer department and such linking so little." Viau and fellow PJC stu- dent Eddie Beard were won- dering how the city employ- ees pay would rate against those who do a similar job in the private sector. "I am very interested to see how someone who does this for a private company gets paid," Beard said. "I sometimes wonder what would happen if some of this at times was done by the pri- vate sector." , The highest salary in 2009 for the city, county and school jobs surveyed is the county attorney at $136,074. Constitutional officers' salaries are set by the state legislature, who recognize a county commissioner as. a part time position at $56,881 a year in 2009. Sheriff Wendell Hall is the highest paid constitutional officer at $125,890 a year. In the past 10 years, con- stitutional officers saw raises ranging from just more than $23,000 to a few dollars less than $29,000. Those employed by the county saw raises of almost $41,000 for the county ad- ministrator and just shy of $36,000 for the county attor- ney. Some of the biggest pay raises in the past decade went to a fireman in the city of Milton who makes $29,474 a year and the sewer opera- tor in Milton who has seen a 63-percent plus pay increase in the past 10 years, as has a Milton police officer. In education pay, a teach- er who starts their first year with a bachelor's degree was expected to make $32,092 their first year, while a school board member would make fewer than $20 less at $32,076. Another PJC student, Dakota Fbx, found some of the pay troubling, especially when it came to those who work "in the line of duty." "County commissioners, the tax collector, county at- torney and those sit behind a desk, while those who put. their lives on the line or have a greater influence get so much less," Fox said. "I feel people like teacher, firemen, police officers and sheriff's deputies should get more. "Firemen and police offi- cers are working and putting their lives on the line, while you wouldn't be able to do any of this work if it wasn't for your education thanks to a teacher." All of the other education salaries, such as superinten- dent, assistant superinten- dent and principal, were tak- en from the midpoint of each salary range grade. Some received more than this, and others could have received less depending on where they fell on the employment classification. UNITED WAY from page Al The United Way's "First Call for Help" lines have been ringing off the hook since the start of the campaign year. The phone line helps link people to health or human services that best fit their needs. Parson said the phones haven't stopped ringing, and to her, that's a good thing. "We're getting up to 40 calls a day," Parson said. "It's great that people are taking advantage of it." The non-profit is work- ing side by side with the Family Resource Program off of Elva Street to donate coats to those less fortu- nate. The FRlwhich recently. put on a canned food drive, has been collecting gently used and new coats to hand out to those less fortunate. On Dec. 14, members of the United Way will assist the* FRP by handing the coats, out to members of the com- munity. Despite the money goal, lingering above half of its target mark, there is still time left, and Parson is confident the United Way- will reach its goal. "Our donors are doing so much right now, and I'm confident we will get. there," Parson said. 4 We Have a Pediatrician in Your Neighborhood.

Mrs. Westmoreland's residence was nominated by her mother. The Garden Club is grateful for your nominations because they bring to our attention such residences like Mrs. West- moreland. Sharon Westmoreland's Kelly Road home in Milton has been lovingly tended to. Mrs. Westmoreland, who had suffered a loss, says that gardening has been good therapy. There is always some sort 6f flowering plant in bloom'. At the moment there is a large senna with bright yellow flowers stand- ing tall, lots of mums, daisies andvincas. Gardening is a family af- fair. Mrs. Westmoreland's brother, Albert Baggott, is. a published horticulturist. You may have seen a copy of his book for sale at Hall's Hardware and several nurs- eries in the area. The book is called Easy Care Landscape Plants for Florida Homes. With family giving so much support it is easy to see why this residence de- serves our community's pride. Dr. Helen Turner gra- ciously accepted the award this month as well. Dr Turn- er has been a practicing dentist in Milton for 12 years and just recently moved her business to its present loca- tion. If the name Turner rings a bell this is because Dr. Turner's father, 0. L. Turner was also a dentist in Milton for many years. The dental building is lo- cated on the corner of Ber- ryhill and Alabama streets. The building is a carefullyre- stored home painted bright yellow with crisp white trim. The pretty landscape gives the building a very residen- tial feel. Walking up to the dental office you might not think about dentistry at all. There's.a wide front porch with lush ferns hanging from the eaves. An arbor in the back has wisteria clam- bering over it. Many of the newly planted trees will de- velop showy flowers and the property will be a gorgeous sight come spring. On your walk to the front door you'll find places to stop and sit if you'd like to enjoy the fine landscape. If you are lucky enough to be a patient of Dr. Turn- er's you will know that the inside of her business is as wonderful as the outside. It is a treat just to sit in her re- ception area. The restored building gives the impres- sion more of a home then a dental office. Great care has been given to the decor, keeping the integrity of the historic home as well as of- fering all the most up to date facilities. The Garden Club thinks DR. HELEN TURNER that you will agree that Dr. free to nominate a home or Turner's business is an as- a public space to receive the set to our community. , Community Pride Award.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.. It's a day in which we all should embrace and enjoy as many of the things we have to be thankful for as possible. Despite those who are trying to mess up the apple cart, the quality of life in Santa Rosa County is second to none. We try to dedicate a little space to this topic every year. Some times we do it at Christmas, other times it is New Years. One year we even cov- ered the topic during Easter.' We're talking about thanking all those people who work in jobs that simply do not allow them to be with their families on these special days. For the vast majority of Americans, Thanksgiving means a huge feast with family and friends followed by- an afternoon of football games. Yet, there are those who can only see it as another day on the job. The same can be said for Christ- mas ... that most-heart-touching of holidays. In the end, however, whether we're talking about Thanksgiving, Christ- mas, New Year or Easter, there will be a group of people working hard so you can relax and enjoy the holiday. As you are about to begin your 'Thanksgiving feast, do you ever take a moment to thank the police officers cruising the streets.. .making sure the day is as crime-free as possible? How about the firemen who are sit- ting at a nearby station, just in case their services should be needed? Inside the hospital, you'll find plenty of nurses and technicians who must work for those who are hospitalized. Just before the meal, you may be asked to run to the nearby conve- nience store for some last-minute item. All those store clerks are giving up their special day as well. For some of these folks, not only does the job require they give up their holiday, it could require they give up their life. For all these reasons and many more than we have the space to men- tion, we dedicate this space to these workers. We'll include them in our pre-Thanksgiving feast prayers... ...and hope you'll do the same.

It is time for the Ameri- can people to hold our leader accountable for this failure. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has analyzed the funding need- ed to build the Navy to 313 ships - the minimum number the Chief of Naval Operations and the Chair- man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff say is required to meet our national security requirements. In several reports from 2005 on, the CBO notes that from 2000 through 2008, the Navy was authorized to build fewer than six ships per year, shrinking the fleet to an inadequate 283 ships. Our navy is now less than haft the size it was 20 years ago, and 40 ships less than a decade ago. Until recently, every president since before World War I - Democrat or Republican - and ev- ery Congress, regardless of party leadership, under- stood that a Navy of more than 300 ships is essential to keep the peace, defend our shores and safeguard America's global interest. Keeping the sea lanes open has never been more important, especially given our reliance on imported oil and the globalization of trade. Arid threats to those sea lanes are increas- ing. China is building a modern, 200-plus ship Navy with a focus on submarines. Iran recently threatened, to cut off the flow of oil in the Persian 'Gulf. Even Russia has re- sumed naval deployments and recently announced plans to build five new air- craft carriers. Every day news reports carry word of another act of piracy in unpatrolled waters. No nation has main- trained global viability without having maritime superiority. We have been a global leader for more than a century because we are a strong maritime nation. By failing to prop- erly fund shipbuilding, our leaders have broken from the proven record of their predecessors. Equally important is the impact that failure to adequately fund Navy requirements has had on America's shipbuilding infrastructure. We now have so few remaining shipyards and such a severe shortage of skilled labor that the indus- trial base would be hard pressed to meet the need to build or repair large numbers of ships during a conflict. A typical Navy warship has an expected life of 30 years. To maintain a Navy of at least 300 ships, the nation must fund and build at least 12 ships per year. The CBO now estimates +;",--;<";"; , '<6 it will take $27 billion per year to reach and maintain a 313-ship Navy, a direct consequence of past deci- sion to fund only a handful of ships per year. The total "bill" for the chronic under funding of Navy shipbuild- ing approaches $100 billion dollars. Unfortunately, the president's budget for .2010 only asked Congress for $14.5 billion for ship construction, which will put the fleet even further. behind.

November 25, 2009 Konmerstone Santa Rosa's Press Gazette I Al 1 Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day Written By Dr. Jerry Passomore Interim Pastor I have reflected on this be- fore writing this article. I have thought about my own life. In retrospect I have ex- pressed thanks to God daily as I prayed. In recalling other people as they prayed, they did the very same thing. Although we do this daily, Thanksgiving Day is a time we give recogni- tion to thanking God. I really believe a better word could be used to express what we are really doing on Thanksgiving Day. We are praising God. We are giving him the glory and praise for who he is and what he has done for us personally and collectively as a nation. We are the only country that observes Thanksgiving Day on the fourth Thursday of Novem- ber to my knowledge. We do this because of our heritage remembering how we were born as a nation and thanking God for our forefathers who braved so much to bring us where we are today. Had it not been for the sovereign grace of God, we would not be the nation we are today. I just want to praise him for a number of things on Thanksgiving Day. I want to praise him for what he has done. The first Chapter of Genesis tells us of what he'- did in the creative act to bring our world into existence. We praise him for night and day, the changing of the seasons, food we eat, air we breathe,' clothes we wear, shelter we enjoy and all other provi- sions. It is because of him we experience the order of the universe in which we live. We also praise him for who he is. I quote from a writer: "We praise Him as the creator who brought our world into being; as the king, who rules over the world, as the warrior who defeats the forces of chaos, as the judge who enhances and sustains righteousness; and as the transformer who is capable of creating a new reality in the world." We praise God at this Thanksgiving Day for sending his only begotten son to become the sacrifice for our sins that God required for our personal forgiveness., his death, burial and resurrection is the gospel that we receive into our hearts 'in order that we can be forgiven of our sins and become a part of God's family. Let us praise God today for who he is and what he has done for us. Kornerstone BRIEFS.

Ask the Preacher a. a eeAl' column an\ t eng \ our que Ion t/ith BiblIc3 ans' ers about .i/e Dear Pastor Gallups - "Do you think there is intelligent, , human-like life on other planets? Couldn't God have done that if he wanted to? Why would he have made the stars and plan- ets?" J.Y,-Pace Dear J. Y., You have asked three questions. Yes. God COULD do that if he wanted to. Now - the second question, "Is there life (human like) on other planets?" We must begin with the Word of God, the Bible. Here is how I see it. ' The Bible clearly teaches that life is only possible through a process of creation. God is the only "Creator." 'Even if there were other galaxies with planets very similar to earth, life could only be there if God the Creator made it. If God had done that, and if these beings were going to visit us one day, then surely he would have told us about something this monumentus visitation. The Bible says nothing of the sort, however. God has given us rather specific details of the future-for. example, the return of Jesus, and many details about the end of the world, yet not a mention of alien beings visiting us. The entire universe will, at some future point, be rolled up like a scroll (Isaiah 34:4, Revelation 6:14). If God had created living beings elsewhere, this would automatically destroy their planets as well. Now for the third question, the reason stars and planets were made are given to us in several places in the Bible, not only in the well-known Psalml9 but firstly in the creation account. In Genesis 1:14 we find: "And God'said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to divide between the day and the night. And let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years." God made the stars for mankind on earth, not alien beings "somewhere out there." If one will read carefully the creation account in Genesis it is easy to see that the purpose of creation is uniquely centered on this earth and on mankind. It is my sincerest belief that other than the angelic realm of God's creation, that human like life on other planets is very unlikely, based on the information in-God's Word. The stars, the planets, the universe, the galaxies are there for us to be in awe of God. Carl Gallups is the Pastor of Hickory Hammock Baptist Church. in Milton.

It's a troublesome problem that many others continue to encounter as well. But not to worry! The medical staff and adminis- tration at Santa Rosa Medical Center are aware of .the problem, and are taking innovative steps to eliminate the negative consequences *and make the procedures more readily available and convenient. * This is being accom- plished through a new initia- tive whereby imaging serv- ices, including mammogra- phy and CT (computerized tomography) scans are going to be delivered to start with by the hospital's radiol- ogy department on Saturday mornings. Beginning the second Saturday in January, 2010, Santa Rosa Medical Center will begin to offer these imaging services from 8 a.m., to noon each Saturday morning for the conven- ience of those who may find it troublesome if not next to impossible to schedule them during the week. These weekend offerings are designed to make the servic- es available to individuals .without interrupting their work week hours set aside for making a living. Simply put, according to Director of Imaging Services and Cardio Jerry Womack, RT(R), "These services are being arranged for the customers, for the public, as easier access. A lot of people work during the week, and it's hard for them to get here Monday through Friday during regu- lar office hours. It will allow people to have a choice." He said they were going to make it very simple through a pre-registration procedure that would elimi- nate most of the "paper work" when the patient reported for the service. "After the individual pre- registers, all he or she has to do is come in an&d report directly to the appropriate department." "The Mammography Department is located on the second floor of the Medical Office Building, and since the patient is pre registered all she will have to do is walk right in, relieved of most all necessary paperwork," according to Tony Cross, RT(R)(CT), Assistant Director of Imaging Services. "They will simply sign the form they have to sign, get their mammogram, and be on their way." Jerry says that essentially the same thing will happen with the scheduled CT scan procedure. Pre registration will eliminate much of the time it ordinarily takes to get the administrative work accomplished prior .to the scheduled procedures. Routine CTs or basic pro- cedure CTs will be the only ones offered during the initial start-up period for weekend services. "What we're going to do, basically, is offer Santa Rosa County more services with easier access than we have in the past," Jerry said. "Being customer friendly is what it's all about." He con- tinued. "With people working all day during the week, there's little time for them to get services like this done without taking off from work. And with the economy the shape it's in, most employers don't want you taking off. In a nutshell, we're trying to offer the county and the peo- ple an easier way to get a pro- cedure done at Santa Rosa Medical Center." Jerry said issues leading up to the weekend offerings surfaced during meetings with Hospital CEO Phillip Wright who brought up the subject as a way to make the outpatient services more accessible to the public. "Everyone concerned was receptive to the idea right away, and we began making preparations to implement the extra weekend hours," Jerry said. The new schedule will not require any equipment that is not already in service, and by a minor reshuffle of employ- Obie Crain | Press Gazette Santa Rosa Medical Center's Imaging Department has arranged to provide a more convenient imaging schedule for those who work during the week. Beginning the sec- ond Saturday.in January of 2010, weekend schedules will become available for at least two imaging procedures, including mammograms and CT scans. Assistant Director Tony Cross, RT(R)(CT), left, and Imaging Services and Cardio Department Director Jerry Womack, RT(R) show the CT scanner, a major appliance involved in the CT scanning process. ee schedules, no extra help will be needed either at the present time. "We're going to start out with these two procedures in the new time frame to test the waters, so to speak, to see how receptive they are to the public," Jerry said. However, should the need arise, they . would be receptive to increas- ing both the offerings and more of the convenient week- end hours, "There's a possibility in the future that other proce- dures will ultimately be offered on weekends too,"- Jerry said. "We have to start somewhere and mammo- grams and CT scans seemed to be the best procedures ini- tially. If these go well, we'll just open up others and expand the offerings." Scheduling will begin the first of January 2010. Patients who wish to use the new and more convenient hours should mako arrangements by' calling the department at (850) 626-5129. Currently X-rays and" some other imaging services 'available in the Radiology Department are already avail- able on a 24-hour, seven-day week basis. Walk-ins. with proper authorization from their physicians may get such services on the spot. During these Saturday appointment offerings, there will be a menu-type meal offered the patient for either breakfast or lunch. This fea- ture is being arranged as an added convenience to make the Saturday procedure even more convenient and com- fortable. We Are Pleased to Announce Our Extended Service Hours to Our Community.

By MATHEW PELLEGRINO 1 mpellegrino@srpressgazette.com / T he most memorable part of the. holidays for many around the region doesn't come wrapped in a box. It's usually spent standing on the side of a road glimpsing at colorful floats and nose-div- ing to catch pieces of holiday candy. The region will host a series of parades starting with the Jay Christmas Parade on Nov. 28 and ending with of all things, the Redneck Christmas Parade in Chumuckla. The Redneck Parade and festival, which areLI put on every holiday season, get locals in the holiday giving spirit. The weekend festival will run Dec. 12-13 at Chumuckla Park, and will help raise money for local families that are in need of financial support during the holiday season. The money collected will go towards purchas- ing food; clothing, and toys for families. The Redneck Festival kicks off Saturday Dec. 12, and leads right up to the parade on Sunday. The festival, which starts at 9 a.m. on Saturday Dec. 12 will feature a car show, craft and food vendors, and live music. the Redneck Games will begin at 1 p.m. The Milton Christmas Parade, which starts at King Middle School and winds its way to Elva Street, kicks off at 6:30 p.m. and Donna Tucker Executive Director of the Santa Rosa Chamber of Commerce said this year's parade should be a huge success. S"There were thousands of people at last years parade. The streets were packed from King Middle to Elva Street," Tucker said. Both the Milton and Redneck Parades hand out awards at the end of the parade and have a line of guest judges. The Milton Christmas Parade will play host to newly appointed NAS Whiting Field Commander Pete Hall. The Milton parade will be themed "A Christ- mas Tradition" according to Tucker, and partici- pants can sign up for registration by going on the chamber's Web site. To many, the parades area way to get into the holiday spirit and to bring together family and friends. Tucker has and continues to see a positive response from all of the county's parades. "I think these parade's get people in the holi- day spirit," Tucker said. "These are fun filled family events." I4"..

Wednesday, November 25, 2009 Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival grant to impact hundreds of Milton children Special to the Press Gazette Thanks to a grant from the Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival, hundreds of children living in the Milton Housing Authority will have the opportunity to be part of W.O.O.PS! (Windows of Opportunities), a project of the GFWC Milton Woman's Club, Inc. Pam Mitchell is chairman of the project. The kick-off event was held on a beautiful Saturday in October. Ap- proximately seventy-five children participated between the hours of noon and 4 p.m., ending with a cookout. Special thanks to Robert Youngblood and Don Bardwell for coordinating the cookout and to the Housing Authority and Phyllis Wales for all their assistance in making the day possible. Paulette Martin, Nouveau Pastries provided the delicious dessert for the cookout, Merritt's Paint assisted with paints for the mural and Blackwater Folk Art provided art supplies. Rhodes Elementary teacher, Toni New and King Middle teacher, Vicki Ford, also participated in the day's activities. Both teachers have many of the children in their classes at school. Hands on art projects included: bead-making; sand art; popcorn ball decorating; painting; wand making; and more. Children had the opportunity to also be part of a new mural painted on the wall of one of the activity buildings in the complex. Six art easels, painter's aprons, lots of paper, paints, pencils, wa- tercolor markers and more were purchased and will remain in the activity center for the children' to enjoy. One of the things that impressed everyone was the way children were drawn to and how much they enjoyed the easel. Lots of creativity came through and one child remained at his easel for an hour. # While workers were sketching the mural on the building on Friday, kids, young and old, hung on the fence and were really anticipating the event on Saturday. Several "old- er" kids came back on Saturday to help paint. They were very helpful and polite and genuinely seemed to enjoyed being a part of the project. Milton Woman's Club members assisting Mitchell with this project included: Anthea Amos; Paula Lou Mapoles; Ann Barnhill; Melinda Bedgood; Cindy Lamprecht; Su- zanna Jones; Elaine Tyree; Geor- gieanna Bryant; Maggie Mims; and Cecile Stephens. The Club is hopeful that by re- ceiving grants such as this one, they will be able to continue to impact the lives of the children living in the complex during quarterly "Art- Smart" days. They plan to have vis- iting artists participate and provide hands on projects and motivation to explore the children's creativ- ity. The Milton Woman's Club goal is to provide an expressive, artistic outlet for these low-income children. They believe the activities will allow children to explore their creativity and therefore gain self confidence. This self confidence would then move them on to achieve more in their education and possibly break the cycle that low income living has on so many of their lives. In addition to "Art Smart" days, the Club has purchased and pro- vided tables and chairs, book racks and storage bins for the children's area at the Santa Rosa Correctional Institution. The prisoners have created and painted a mural for the recreation area where they spend time with their children. The Club will continue to provide crayons, books, reading materials and-games to encourage creative expression between the children and their incarcerated parents.

AAA projects 1.4 percent increase in Thanksgiving travel With a cautious eye on economic re- covery more Americans intend to travel this year for Thanksgiving than last year. AAA projects 38.4 million Ameri- cans will travel a distance of 50 miles or more away from home throughout Thanksgiving weekend, a 1.4 percent in- crease over last year when 37.8 million traveled for the holiday. "We take the projected increase in travelers as a sign that economic recov- ery may finally be taking root and we be- lieve many Americans certainly share the same hope," said Kevin Bakewell, senior vice president, AAA Auto Club South. Overall, the numbers show an even greater number of people who plan on driving (86% of all travelers) which re- flects a growing public dissatisfaction with air travel. Fewer flights, higher costs for airfares, frequent delays and increased fees have a record number of Americans opting for other means of travel. This year only 6 percent of trav- elers said they will travel by air and that exemplifies a 10-year trend in which air travel, as part of total Thanksgiving travel, has declined substantially. Since 2000, the number of air travelers during Thanksgiving weekend has dropped by 62 percent. For those planning to fly, ad- ditional airline information and updates may be found at www.AAA.com/air- fares. Florida and Georgia are projected to show a 3 percent increase in overall travel versus 2008, but in Tennessee an 8 percent decrease is anticipated and that is reportedly due to high unemploy- ment in Tennessee. With so many motorists expected on the roadways, Bakewell recommends that everyone avoid driver distractions such as cell phones and texting, as well as avoid "driver fatigue" and not attempt a long drive home at night, especially if there's any drowsiness after enjoying a hearty Thanksgiving dinner. "On Thanksgiving Day we're all es- pecially susceptible to 'carb-overload' and when you couple that with the tryp- tophan that is present in turkey and other meats, and perhaps an alcoholic beverage, many of us are ready for a nap," Bakewell said. He noted that tryptophan can contrib- ute to a feeling of drowsiness and mo- torists must be aware of that and avoid driving if they feel tired. "It's much bet- ter to stay put rather than place yourself and others at risk," he added. '"A fresh start in the morning after you've rested makes a world of difference." AAA's holiday travel projections are based on research conducted by IHS Global Insight and D.K. Shifflet & Asso- ciates which conducted a national sur- vey of 1,350 U.S. adults.

That speed and a showcase in south Florida made the Panther senior something to behold as he worked his way out of a bases-loaded jam and got college coaches calling his home even before he finished the inning. "All of a sudden, I was at home and the phone started- ringing," said Kelly Allen, Brandon's mother, after Bran- don's signing. "I didn't know what was going on, but I got calls from all of these major college coaches. "The coaches at (the Uni- versity of) Florida even called Adam (Allen) to ask them why he didn't tell them about his little brother." She later found out her son pitched his way out of a bases-load- ed jam and then went on BRANDON to pitch three ALLEN more score- less innings.. . The suitors were many, but Allen chose to stay in the re- gion and play for the Tigers in the Southeastern Conference. "I love the'school, and I like the idea of going somewhere. close to home so I can drive home every now and then," Allen said. But don't think he got this scholarship on pure athletics. Allen is an example of the stu- dent-athlete. While playing basketball for four years and varsity baseballs for three, Allen has maintained a 4.0 GPA and scored a 32 on his ACT. The highest you can score on the ACT is a 36. "Being his pitching coach, I can tell you he has a work eth- ic beyond belief," said Milton baseball coach George Blake. "He is a great kid to coach, and this is a great day for Milton baseball." Allen will be the first to ad- mit, if you can get him to talk, that he has been flying under. See ALLEN (3.

NICEVILLE 52, PACE 30 Willard pins The Citadel with commitment Photos by BILL GAMBLIN I Press Gazette Pace quarterback David Casey runs for a big gain against the Eagles' defense. Patriots fall to Eagles in playoffs By BILL GAMBLING sports@srpressgazette.com NICEVILLE - A football is shaped rather funny to be called a ball, and because of its shape, it can take some rather quirky bounces. Such was the case Friday night as the Pace Patriots fell to the Niceville Eagles 52-30 in the open- ing round of the Region 1-4A foot- ball playoffs. The Patriots seemed to have landed a knockout punch to the beak of the No. 1-ranked Eagles with just over six minutes remain- ing in the game. David Casey plunged in from one yard out and then hit Josh Reeves for a successful two-point conver- sion to make it 38-30 with 6:55 on the clock. Niceville was on the ropes and got flagged with unsportsmanlike conduct and a personal foul on the two-point conversion. Pace took advantaged of the pen- alty and lined up for an onside kick. Greg Peranich kicked off, and the ball bounded in the air as a swarm of Patriots descended on the Eagles' return team. Amid the scramble, Pace emerged from the pack with the ball and crossed the Eagles' goal line. The official raised his arms indi- cating a touchdown, and the Pace faithful and team erupted in joy. Suddenly the officials gathered and ruled the Patriots had illegally touched the ball before it went 10 yards, yet there was no yellow laun- dry on the field or a whistle blown to call the play dead. "We knew coming in here they are a good team," Pace head coach Mickey Lindsey said. "For us to have a chance to win, we would have had to play a flawless football game. "We came up on the short in to- night, but it wasn't for a lack of ef- fort of our team. I am very proud of these young men because they A loose ball was picked up by Pace's Will Pharr and returned 45 yards to tie the game at 7-7 early in the second quarter. played hard all night long." Then in the moment of emotion, Pace was hit with two personal fouls and what appeared to be a possible game-tying touchdown turned into an eight-play Niceville drive where the Eagles took a 45-30 lead with 3:18 left in the contest.' Niceville would go on to add one more score as Kody Williams inter- cepted a Casey pass and returned to 80 yards for a touchdown with 1:49 remaining. Casey finished the night going nine-for-21 for 189 yards and three interceptions, all of which came in the second half. At the start of the game Niceville stopped Pace and then quickly went to work on the ground. The Eagles appeared poised to control the game on the ground as they took their opening possession 77 yards in four plays with Gar- rett Fletcher finding a seam in the Pace defense for a 45-yard scamper to make it 7-0 after Tanner Hansen added the point after. It would remain 7-0 until Pace forced a-turnover early in the sec- ond quarter and Will Pharr returned the ball 45 yards to make it 7-7 with 10:10 remaining in the first half. It went back and forth for the re- mainder of the first half as both of- fenses pounded away. Niceville ,went up 14-7 when Roy Finch banged his way through from two yards out with 7:49 re- maining. Pace would quickly responded at the 6:50 mark as Tyler Hunt would rumble 64 yards for a touchdown. Hunt finished the night with 101 yards on 15 carries to lead Pace on the ground. Niceville would get the lead again, 21-14, as Kyle McDorman hit Williams for an 80-yard strike.- It would remain 21-14 until inter- mission. Pace's defense battled the high- powered Eagle offense and left its mark to start the third quarter when Niceville was forced to punt on fourth-and-six at its 21. The Patriots put on a block, and Ryne Burkett found the direct route was the best to block the punt. Before the defense could fall on the ball, it rolled out of the back of the end zone for a safety to make it 21-16. "We played possibly the tough- est schedule in school history, and these young men gave it their all every night," Lindsey said. "I am so proud of this team because they See PLAYOFFS (3 By BILL GAMBLING sports@srpressgazette.com Ben Willard is new to Milton and Santa Rosa County, but he brings with him some attention to the growing Milton wrestling program. Friday, the three-time national champion and state champion from South Carolina signed to wrestle at The Citadel. "Ben is a wrestler who moved his this summer and has worked hard to get better and has made us better as a team," said Milton head coach Duane Raley. "He does the extra work and every morning before school he gets his five miles in." * That work ethic could be the reason while Willard has three national champi- onships and has never fin- ished worse than fourth in the state the previous three years he lived in South Car- olina as he compiled a over- all record of 90-10. "When I found out I was moving here I asked my sister (Diana) to see if they had a wrestling team," Wil- lard said. "Then when I got here I saw the competition is a little better here and the guys on the team make me better as I have some very tough practice partE. ners." For Wif lard, who picked the Citadel S over the likes of the three mili- tary acade- BEN WILLARD mies it was a choice he had made since the sixth grade. "It was where I wanted to go since the first time I saw the campus and met the coaches when I was in sixth grade," Willard said. "I got a couple of calls from the coach this month and he sent me the paper work . "It is exciting since he wanted me and kept up with me after I moved." For the Milton program itself, Friday was a huge step. S"When we hired Coach Raley we told him we Want- ed him to run the wrestling program," said Milton ath- letic director Murray Rut- ledge. "Now after fouryears and in our third competitive season to. have a wrestler sign a D-1 scholarship is a tremendous event."

The survey began Nov. 3 and has been extended from Nov. 24 to Dec. 7. A limited response from the public resulted in the ' extension. The survey includes ques- tions on whether Class I and II captive wildlife owners' facilities should meet local building codes and/or zoning requirements and whether wildlife owners should provide their Critical Incident and Disaster Plan to their coun- ty's emergency manager. In ad- dition, the survey asks whether people shipping or delivering live wild animals via interstate or in- trastate commerce should label such packages. The label would list the name and address of the sender and receiver and identify the number and species of live wildlife in the shipment. Class I wildlife include goril- las, chimpanzees, lions, leopards, tigers and bears. Class II.wildlife include several species of small monkeys, small cats, coyotes and wolves. Class I and II wildlife are potentially dangerous to people. The FWC also is asking for in- put on the licensing requirements for hobbyists (those who possess wildlife for personal use and en- joyment) who might occasionally exhibit or sell Class III wildlife.

Ross Fruge led the way for Pace with 22 points, and lyler Swanson shipped in 11. Jason Varney added seven points in the win, where the Patriots jumped out to an early 20-8 lead and cruised on from there after the Wildcats narrowed the margin to seven by intermission, 27-20. In boys soccer, Pace and Niceville played to a 1-1 tie Thursday. Cullen Fowler scored the only goal for the Patriots off an assist from Nuteb Alkhelewi. Pace is now 2-0-1 on the season. Nathan Lord recorded six saves in the tie. Tate shut out Milton 9-0 at Tate as the ALLEN from page Cl the radar. "Prior to the showcase in Lakeland, I had been flying under the radar," he said. "I did really well, al- lowing one hit in three in- nings of work and no runs. "I hadn't really gotten any looks until I played summer ball." - Then he heard from the likes of the University of Virginia, Florida and Troy Aggies improve to 4-0. In girls soccer, it was Milton shutting out Tate, 6-0. Milton improves to 2-1-1 on the year and 2-1 in District 1-5A as Emma Ayala and Sydney Morgan each found the back of the net two times in the win. Tiffany Biosvert and Andrea Harris also scored goals in the win. Harris and Briana Holmes combined for three assists. Mikey Drinkard recorded four saves while Savannah Temple finished the night with three as the Lady Aggies were limited to just seven shots on goal. In wrestling, Gulf Breeze defeated Pace 39V3 in a dual meet. University. Allen also learned a lot about the process watch- ing his older brother Adam go through the recruiting calls before he decided on Florida three years ago. "I learned a lot from Adam by watching him and talking to him," Bran- don said. "He taught me never to close a door, but I will admit I heard from some colleges I was not in- terested in." Last season, the Tigers and head coach Ron Paw-. lowski finished 31-25, and Allen could come in right away and contribute. "When I talked to the coaches, they explained I had a shot to be a day pitcher coming in or work- ing out of the bullpen," Al- len said. PLAYOFFS from page C1 answered every challenge we gave them every time and did the best they could. "It is just hard to play a flawless football game against a team like Nicev- ille." Niceville would go to the air to make it 28-16 with a 29-yard pass from McDorman to Williams. McDorman had one more touchdown pass in his arm as he hit Stefano Schutte. for 53 yards to make it 25-16. McDorman finished the night going: nine of 15 for 265 yards with three scores - through the air. Pace would close out the third quarter when Thomas McCoryey fought his way in from three yards out as time expired. - An attempt for two failed to make it 35- 22. Hansen would kick a 38-yard field goal at 10:05 of the fourth quarter to make it 38-. 22, before the fireworks began. ..;-.

We Obie Crain ] Press Gazette Helping patients get well and assisting them regain the quality of life they deserve is the goal of Santa Rosa Medical Center's Rehabilitation Department. Left to,'right, front row, are Tracy Kelleher, Physical Therapy Technician and LMT; Amy Davis, Registered Physical Therapist and Rehabilitation Department Director; and Patrick Dwyer, Physical.Therapy Associate. Back. row, left to right are Ammie Bryant, Registered Physical Therapist; and Becky Dubose, Department Office Manager. Not pictured but instrumental to Department functions are Angelea Lovering, Physical Therapy Assistant; Brittney Williams, Physical Therapy Technician; Tammy Passmore, Physical Enhancing patient quality of life is goal of SRMC rehabilitation, department By OBIE RAIN ocrain@srpressgazette.com Its dedicated and expe- rienced team of profes- sional therapists, coupled with the most modern state of the art equipment available to work with, supports the reputation of the Physical Re habilitation Department at Santa Rosa Medical Center as one of the best available along the Gulf Coast. The comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services offered by the Physical Rehabilitation Department are designed "...to help patients enhance their quality of life," according to the hospital's Director of Physical Rehabilitation Amy Davis, RPT, and include physical and speech therapists, licensed physical therapist assistants, and aquatic instructors. One of the most unique features of the 5,000 square foot facility is its 400 .square foot heated therapy pool which makes warm water aquatic exer- cise classes available for both therapy and exercise classes for the communi- ty. "We are an outpatient facility that caters to a variety and wide range of patients," Davis said in a recent interview explain- ing the function and ulti- mate goals of the depart- ment. "We do treat quite a few of the elderly and geriatric population and certainly do consider our department and our serv- ices as 'senior friendly'," Davis pointed out. "Anybody that does come, to us has to be referred by a physician, and we do accept a variety of different insurances, including Medicare,", she said. Each patient that is referred to "Rehab," as the department is inti- mately and -commonly characterized, receives a. thorough evaluation from the staff which is followed by a personalized pro- gram that is developed based on the specific needs of the patient. "We offer .general fit- ness programs; including the rehabilitation of any type of walking difficul- ties and balance problems, rehabilitation of fractured bones after surgery, any type of orthopedic type problems including knee and hip rehabilitation, and just about anything that has to do with an injury," Davis said. Davis cites the 400 square foot, therapeutical- ly heated pool as one of the department's very valuable tools to assist in the rehabilitation of arthritis, chronic pain, and other debilitating disor- ders. She pointed out that one-on-one patient thera- pist care was available in this regard. "We also do offer classes in the mom- ing and afternoon that are paid for by out of pocket funds for those in the community that an benefit from the pool," she said. Among those tools available for their thera- peutic work are tread- mills, bicycles of different orientation, weights, and of course the therapeutic, heated pool, among oth- *ers. At the Santa Rosa Medical Center Rehabilitation Center they can train people how to walk again, how to go up and down stairs, and a variety of other therapeu- tic services. In addition they are experts when it comes to rehabilitating sports injuries commonly sustained by athletes. The team of therapists is exceptionally skilled in a wide variety of services. Not only are arthritis, bal- ance disorders, and sports related injuries addressed, but other major limita- tions are treated as well. Neck and back pain, osteoporosis, rotator cuff repairs, tendonitis, stroke, and tennis elbow are among those addressed by the department's highly skilled therapists. Operating hours at the Physical Rehabilitation Department are flexible with sessions that last about an hour each, beginning at 8:00 o'clock a.m. Monday through Friday. The department is .closed on Saturday and Sunday. Santa Rosa Medical Center CEO Phillip Wright summarizes the care of both the hospital and its rehabilitation department. "At Santa Rosa Medical Center, we want you to not only get the best care possible, but also have confidence in the care you are receiv- ing," he said. "Our dedi- cated staff of profession- als works every day to help our patients return to a healthy lifestyle and begin enjoying life again."
