Lauren McLaughlin News Bulletin Reporter A loitering call made by a convenience store clerk last Wednesday at 12:38 a.m., led investigators to a meth lab in Crestview and three arrests. When Deputy Micah Redmond arrived at the store located at 1921 West US Highway 90, Milligan, he confronted a loi- tering white male with a large knife hang- ing from his pocket. The male identified Boy, 9, shot by accident in Laurel Hill Bubba Taylor narrowly escapes serious injuries after the Saturday incident. Lauren McLaughlin News Bulletin Reporter Target practice for a Laurel Hill boy and his neighbor went awry last Saturday evening when an old .38-caliber gun without a safety. fired unexpectedly. After being Lifeflighted to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, the boy was treated and released the same day after narrowly escap- ingserious injuries. "It was one of those freaky accidents that you couldn't predict in a million years," said the boy's grandmother, Alice Harper. "Niether uFnc.f ihem ee.

"It was an accident," assured Harper. "Our grandson shoots with him all the time." "I just screamed," said Taylor. The loud gun shot scared him because he was standing only four feet away. He did not realize he'd been shot until he looked down and saw blood. Hinshaw, 44, has no children of his own. "Our grandchildren are precious to him," explained Harper. "They're always so very careful." In shock, Hinshaw took Taylor back to his *house and told his girlfriend, Cindy, to call 911. "When Hinshaw first walked in with him, I just I saw the blood," recalled Harper. "I almost freaked out" In fact, Harper admits that if it weren't for Bubba's composure, she would have fallen apart.

Cunningham was arrested by Investigator Bill Jerard and members of the Okaloosa County Multi-Agency Drug Task Force on the charges of unlawful posses- sion of listed chemicals and conspiracy to manufacture Methamphetamine. Jerard then went with Cunningham to his residence, where the officer walked in on Craig while he was creating a "bag lab" in the kitchen.

Doctors, nurses donate time, services Lauren McLaughlin News Bulletin Repoiter Volunteer doctors and nurses at Sunday's free medical clinic in Our Lady of Victory's Church Hall spent'their Super Bowl Sunday helping those in the community who have no other way of getting medical treatment. Altogether, a group of almost 20 doctors and nurses treated adults and children who do not have healthcare from noon until 3 p.m. Carrie Lehman, 25, of Destin, represented Crestview Pediatrics, helping in the pediatric section of the clinic. The most common problems among children were upper respiratory infections, aller- gies, ear infections and asthma. "Once we leave here today," Carrie said, "we'll try to find some- one to follow up with them." See CLINIC, page 5A Almarante makes about face; looks to improve * The embattled fire district says they are committed to taking strides in making proper improvements. Ken Nielsen News Bulletin Reporter Almarante fire commissioner Keith Free for the time being, has dowsed the fire of controversy concerning his fire depart- ment's ability to function. In a bold move by Free and his fellow commissioners, the board voted to take over the day to day administrative functions of the fire department, which until that vote were handled by fire chief Neal Marini, who resigned last week over the controversy. "This is a totally new set up that we're going to tonight," said Free as he addressed the recent board of fire commissioners, res- idents, guest and media at their recent board meeting. "In the past we just asked the fire chief what he needed and we paid it, the light bill, fuel bill, whatever he needed. It seems that has not worked in the past so we're going to do it different If we're wrong, then we're wrong, and we'll change it again until we get it right." The board also adopted all new operational procedures for itself. Almarante fire district residents like Mac Wilkins were enthusiastic over the board's new approach. "I'm here because of what I read in the paper," explained Wilkins. "I wanted to be sure I had fire protection. I understand this is a volunteer depart- ment and I'm willing to volunteer if there is anything that I can do," added Wilkins. The board made motions, and agreed to propose an increase in the assessment fee paid for fire protection for single family homes and mobile homes from $30 to $60 per building. Industrial, commercial, educational, healthcare, etc. will be $100 per building. Undeveloped acreage will cost 25 cents per acre for protection. The board also made a motion to impose a fire public safety impact fee on all new construction. The proposed impact fee is 10 cents per square foot; all others to include industrial, com- mercial, education, healthcare, etc., are 20 cents per square foot "As you know we can go on like we're going with the $30 as we have been," explained board chainnan Free. "But you see the problems we're having. Or we can step up, and it costs money to step up. So now is the time we have to decide we're going to try and fix the mess we're in." There will be two public hearings advertised and held before Crestview National Guard troops slated to return Get ready for a huge wel- come back party. The National Guard's 653rd Signal Corps will return to Crestview sometime around the beginning of March. Through a combined effort of the Crestview Chamber. of Commerce, the Military Affairs Committee, Main Street Crestview Association, and the City of Crestview, the National Guard will qnjoy a welcome back parade when they return to Crestview after their four-to five- day debriefing in Fort Stuart, GA. "We want many people out on the streets waving," said Bob Lynn, an event coordinator. Florida Highway Patrol's Dan Parkinson, Lt. Don Fountain of the Sheriff's Department and SCrestview Police Chief Travis Gillihan will escort the troops as they come off Interstate 10 north to Crestview on Highway 95. Lynn said the event commit- tee is asking businesses in the area, especially those located along Highway 95, to put up marquees welcoming our local heroes home. The committee cannot deter- mine an exact day or time of the National Guard's return at this point. "The only way to find out the exact time is to listen to the local radio station," said Lynn. It will give brief updates so citizens of Crestview can be ready and waiting on the streets with ban- ners, signs, and smiles when the corp drives, into town. Lynn said the committee will be providing more ihforriation to the public as they receive it.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission recently released more than 3,000 channel catfish into the lake behind the Bob Sikes campus of Okaloosa-Walton College. "This is an annual pro- gram with us," said David Yeager, fish and wildlife biol- ogist with the Blackwater Fisheries, in Holt, Florida. "We have been doing this at Twin Hills for about four or five years." Yeager says that the fish- ery releases not only catfish, but also hybrid striped bass. The hybrid bass are popular in community lakes and ponds because they are aggressive, fun to catch, and good eating. Crestview resident Seth Richards and his wife Jennifer, of Crestview, watched from shore as Blackwater Fisheries Wildlife Technician Kevin McDonald put on his waders and entered the lake with a net full of catfish fingerlings. "I think it's great because it gives people a fair chance to catch something," said Seth Richards, as they watched thousands of year old fingerling pour into the pond. "I hate going fishing where \ou don't catch any- thing." added Richards. "At least you know i you come here to Twin Hlill, you'll **' - h.vwe a good-chance i a ri.4 C?^. S' Florida Fish and Wildlife technician Kevin McDonald pumps water from chilly Twin Hills Lake. Mixing the lakes' water with the water in the aerator allows the fish to become more accustomed to the temperature of their new environment. Though the fish being released this day were all the same age, they varied in size from 4 inches to 8 inches in length. McDonald attributes this to the survival of the fittest rule. "When we put them in our ponds at the fisher they all start out about the same size said lcDonald, "but in lust one year some of them have tripled in size and oth- all." McDonald says that some fish are more aggres- sive than others and proba- bly just fight for more food. The City of Crestview has placed auto- matic feeders in the pond to ensure healthy', long lasting fish City work- ers maintain the feeders and check to see that they are full of food at least twice per month. According to Yeager that's one of the keys to fish longevity. "If the fish are taken care of and fed proper- ly, they should live for five to six years, and mature to an average weight of four to five pounds." Water from the pond has to be slowly filtered into the the fisheries truck. This enables the fish to become more adapted to the temper- ature of the lakes colder water before they're released. Jennifer Richards was sur- prised when she found out how many fish the state was actually putting into the lake. "Wow, three thousand seems like a lot. Will they all sur- vive?" She asked, as she bent over to observe a second net full of catfish fmgerlngs at Seth and Jennifer Richards, careful not to get their feet wet, lean forward and watch Florida Seth Richards gently examines one of the year old catfish as Fish and Fish and Wildlife technician Kevin McDonald release the first batch of fingerling channel Wildlife technician Kevin McDonald gets ready to pour a net full of the cat- catfish into the Twin Hills Lake at the Okaloosa-Walton College Bob Sikes Campus. fish into the lake.

"It is a lot for that sys- tem," said Yeager. But with proper care the balance of aquatic life will be fine. "The city has feeders set up in the pond, and when they're fed regularly we can usually overstock a little," added Yeager. "We realize that this pond is going to experi- ence a large number of Skids fishing in it so we tend to overstock in anticipation of the kids catching a bunch."

"This is the first wreck that I have had in 27 years of over the road driving," said David. "I just started around the corner and looked in the mirror as I always do when I make a wide turn," continued David. "I quess all the wieght just shifted, It rolled over slow and easy." David said that neither the dogs nor he were hurt. K-9 cop hydroplanes through yard in Holt Lauren McLaughlin News Bulletin Reporter When Luther Little returned to his Holt residence near Galliver last Wednesday morning after a quick trip to the post office, things were not as he had left them. "I live about half a mile from the post office," he' said. "When I got back, all hell had broken loose." A cop car had wiped out 80 feet of Little's chain-link fence, broken a gas main, knocked down a cement post and a wooden post, and leveled his mailbox. Glass also covered his lawn. "That's going to play heck with my tractor this summer," he said. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the westbound cop'car had hydroplaned across the eastbound lane of U.S. Highway 90 onto the south shoulder. "It looked like he had been in dirt 210 feet," said Little. The driver, Kelby L. Goodwin, 32, was transferred to Okaloosa Medical Center by ambulance, and his dog, Wick, a German shepherd, was taken to the vet. Although the wreck resulted in $12,000 damage, car included, Goodwin was wearing his seatbelt when he crashed and was not serious- ly injured. He was released from the hospital the same day. "It's amazing he didn't get killed," said Chief Travis Gillihan of the Crestview Police Department. According to Gillihan, Goodwin and his dog are already back in train- ing. The Crestview Police Department's insurance company will pay for damage to Little's property, but right now, Little's main concern is his three dogs. "I have no place to keep them since my fence tore down," he said. "One of them is ugly, and I don't want r to share my bed with them."

He then affirmed Cunningham's earlier statement about Cunningham teach- ing him how to refine his cooking technique. A police report stated that one of Craig's balloons tested positive to contain 16 grams of powder cocaine, and three baggies tested positive to contain approximately 9 grams of methamphetamine. Craig and Cunningham had planned to make 40 grams of meth.

Investigator Matthew Purvines and the Okaloosa County Multi- Agency Drug Task Force then exe- cuted a warrant to search Craig's 538 North Hathaway Street resi- dence. Upon arriving, Purvines discov- ered the truck of Danny Carl Hicks, 37, in front of Craig's home. According to reports, Investigator Purvines searched the truck and retrieved a silver metal container < belonging to Hicks with metham- phetamine inside. Hicks was arrested on the charge 4 of Possession of a Controlled - Substance (Methamphetamine). According to Community Relations Coordinator Catherine Dokey, of the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Department, this particu- lar meth bust could spawn more arrests. "They're still investigating it," she said. "It's kind of like a 'wait and see.'" Public Information Officer Rick Hord, of the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Department, said that spin-offs are often typical, although he believes this bust probably won't lead to additional arrests. "I think this part of the operation is over," he said. He did offer a word of warning, however, to any- one else who may be involved with meth labs in the area, assuring they will be caught. "There's no need for them to relax," he said. In fact, a meth-related arrest was also made Feb. 2 at the Comfort Inn in Niceville. Investigator Joseph Forgione searched room 152 where Laurel Rainer, 22, of Crestview, was staying. According to reports, methamphetamine and items used to make it were found in the room, and 3 glass meth pipes were discov- ered in Rainer's car. Investigator Forgione arrested Rainer on the charge of Possession of Listed Chemicals with Intent to Manufacture Methamphetamine and Possession of Narcotic Equipment. According to Investigator Jerard, Rainer has no signs of being connected with Cunningham, Craig, or Hicks.

At the Kiwanis Club, member Anita Jones brought her guest - Lance Daniels, the newest lead singer Switch the Four Tops now embarking on their national tour. He is more than just a new singer, he is a young man who successfully overcame Mary Jones paralysis and taught himself how to walk again! At the same Kiwanis meeting, Larry Harris gave us all a good talking to about our health he is a health guru who brought us up to date on the new food guide pyramid and the fun way to reach our goals. For those of us older members, he brought a bit of history. He is the grandson of H.H. and Mrs. Harris, who ran the five and dime store at the corer of Main Street and Oakdale Avenue (the large vacant two-story building) that served also as a department store for most needs. He is the son of Bill Harris, their son. Some of us found after-school employment there. It was a panorama of events for me. The President asking for changes in Social Security, which I had been paying into since working part-time at the Harris Department Store. It would be better if the President started working on job opportunities for the nation. At Sharing and Caring, we can't keep up with the requests for help with utilities, housing, Purple for courage As a result of the Iraq election, a change needs to be made in Webster's Dictionary. The color purple should have a new synonym, and that is courage. It was wonderful to see-on television so many Iraqis holding up their finger colored purple as proof that they had voted. It's incredible that so many Iraqi people, who never experienced freedom, risked all to vote under conditions that were decidedly unstable. There are many views on the voting, some negative, including why more Sunnis did not vote. However, the ou ey bottom line is that more people voted in the Iraq election than in the U.S. Presidential election. In the U.S., we had both parties spending time and money to get out voters. We had months of television and radio advertising and mailings, all intended to get the voters out. No one was blowing up polling stations, shooting poll workers, or blowing up innocent potential voters. It appears that the Iraqis finally believe that it is their country and the future is in their hands, not in the hands of the U:S: orany-otherforeign government. There is a long way to go. The constitution is a political document and there will be a great deal of infighting between the parties. The key to the constitution is going to be fair representation of the minorities, especially the Kurds, Sunnis and women. It will also be key that the government is not a religious government as in Iran, but is a secular one as in Turkey. The elections have given the Iraqis a chance and some momentum. A fair constitution is essential to the Iraqi success. The election itself has sent shock waves through many places in the world, especially in the Mideast. Most of Iraq's neighbors do not have democratic governments. In some countries, less than 5% of the people control 95% of the wealth. In some countries, the clerics dominate the political process. If food and we can't even pretend to help with medication. There is a level of the population that needs help now. There may be more opportunities for work with a proposed new entertainment center coming to-town and maybe the proposed development of land on the northern side of town may bring in even more job opportunities for people who fit the service employment ranks. While we rebuild Iraq, it would be helpful if we would help Americans with more jobs and better living opportunities. This week is the time of FCAT, one of the requirements for "No Child Left Behind" in education. We need to see more positive benefits from this expensive program than just a statewide test to determine if they have been listening in class. Are there more scholarships to lure the kids to learn for college? Are there more job training opportunities for those who prefer to work more with their hands such as new factories, new manufacturing employment opportunities in the goods and services used by Americans? Rebuilding the economy of America is paramount to reducing the national debt as well as giving opportunities to young people to learn their preferred way of making a living at a decent job they can boast about. Let's hope the agenda outlined by the President last Wednesday holds out as much hope for Americans as it does for non-democratic countries in the rest of the world. We need it as badly as those countries do. Mary V. Jones, a local resident, is a veteran newspaper editor, columnist, and reporter. She has worked for local, regional, and national newspapers, magazines, and wire services. Iraq continues on its road to democracy, it will give people throughout the world hope that they also can be free and live in a democratic society. It may force countries to begin to make changes before changes are demanded, sometimes violently from within. It also makes the job more difficult for the terrorists' who have nothing to offer but death and destruction. In Iraq, the terrorists will find it more difficult to keep a foothold. The people have voted and the sky hasn't fallen in. The people have voted and are proud of what they have accomplished. The people have voted for their own government in their own country and, for the first time since Iraq was formed, have been able to participate in how that government will function. No one should be so naive to think that the problems are over in Iraq or that there won't be more loss of Iraqi, U.S. and coalition lives. We must also understand that the influence of the United States is waning. You could compare us to a lame duck president who had total control at one point, and now can only help from the sidelines. In fact, too much overt U.S. pressure will have a negative impact. I think that all of us in the United States were holding our breath about the election process. We firs efkcopcythat the election was too soon. We next were concerned that'tfe terrorists woufd prevent the election from lihathiiig on Jhn\dat33Oth. We then worried that if it did happen, there would be a low voter turnout. These.concerns were legitimate, but fortunately did not come to fruition. We are now concerned about the constitution. Let's hope that the Iraqis know the price that has been paid by coalition forces and by their own people to give them this opportunity. Let's hope that they remember what purple on their fingers means and they won't walk away from this opportunity to bring freedom to Iraq and to set an example for people and nations throughout the world.

FIRE, from page 1A the board can vote in the increases. The board also approved retaining the Powell law firm to represent them on redistricting issues that loom on the horizon. The board has scheduled a meeting on February 15 to discuss fire protection with the developers of the Heritage Plantation, the 850-home country club planned for development in the southern area of the Almarante Fire District beginning in the next few months. This is in response to the North Okaloosa Fire District final public hear- ing scheduled for February 17, in an attempt to annex the Heritage Plantation development from the Almarante Fire District into their fire district. The board also discussed remodel- ing the current fire station just south of County Road 602, and the possibility of constructing another station near County Road 2 as inevitable increased development occurs. "I think this is a real start in the right direction," said Hazel Hooper, a recent strong voice speaking out publicly about her feelings of mismanagement by the fire district commissioners. "It seems like they're on the road to make improvements to the fire depart- ment," added Hooper. "I'll do whatever I can to help turn this situation around." Hooper was nominated at the meeting to serve on the newly formed finance committee, which will make recom- mendations to the board about expendi- tures. Most of the fire districts that had supported a recent letter to the Almarante fire commissioners threaten- ing to terminate mutual aid to Almarante also attended the meeting .- 1- ') and supported Commissioner Frec's new approach. "The letter was written out of fmns- tration," explained Ed Cutler, fire chief from the North Okaloosa Fire District, to the board. "We're all your.neighbors. All of our departments have grown," continued Cutler. "There is not once that we have not come to help. We felt that we were giving free fire protection to this fire department and you not doing much on your own." Laurel Hill fire chief Jerone Long echoed Chief Cutler's sentiments. "We only wanted the letter to wake up the Almarante fire department, for the impending onslaught of growth. I think the letter did that. We have no intent of holding back on our mutual aid to the citizens in the Almarante district." Free ended the meeting by address- ing the other fire districts in attendance. "We have all worked together in the past. I'll be the first to admit that at times y'all have had more of your peo- ple at our scenes than we have." Free continued, "We just don't have the people. When you don't have any- one, you just don't have anyone. That's just the way it is. I can't twist nobody's arm or go to their house and drag 'em to the fire. I've been doing this for 25 years now, and I don't intend to quit," In a show of the county's support Okaloosa County Commissioner Sherry Campbell also attended the meeting. She said that she was enthusi- astic by what she saw as a positive change. "I think they're on the right track,' said Campbell. "Sometimes it takes bringing an issue into the light to get the public aware."

Last Thursday while driving down a road our suspect noticed a dog laying by a mail box. Once to often our driver had been chased by said dog and decided to take matters into his own hands. Noticing said dog, the driver stopped his vehicle and backed up approximately twen- ty five yards according to wit- nesses. Our driver then put his truck in drive and accelerated rapidly running off the road approximately three feet and striking the dog. An interview with the driver by Okaloosa county deputies revealed that the driver did intentionally hit the dog. Reason, the dog ran after his truck. "Passing it on" the drivers daughter was in the truck and after hearing the thud asked what it was. Responding as only a loving father could the driver stated "I hit a'dog, the one that is always loose." So who said man and dog are best friends anyway?

It don't take much of dem brains to cook up de meth Is it just me or is the meth problem in Okaloosa county and Crestview growing larger. While on a loitering call one of our deputies noticed a large knife attached to the suspect. After obtaining permission to search the suspects belongings our deputy found precursor chemicals and items used in the manufacture of Methamphetamine, everyday run of the mill iodine, Acetone, Heet, Pseudoephedrine, plastic tubing, gloves and facial masks. Our deputy quickly advised the suspect of his rights and upon hearing them the suspect admit- ted that he and several others drove to Santa Rosa county to purchase the items and were about to cook meth. The defendant further went on to claim he was about to cook up 40 grams of the stuff, he con- tinued to brag about how he and his co-horts had cooked up the stuff on numerous occasions in Okaloosa county, but still need- ed his friend to help refine the stuff. What are friends for if nothing other than to help fry the brains of unsuspecting drug users in our mist. How not to smoke the tires on a dirt bike A Baker resident reported to deputies that someone had stolen his dirt bike from his shed. Two suspects were inter- viewed about the theft. While under rights advisement both suspects admitted to removing the bike. These bright young lads then delivered it to a residence in Crestview where they received $100 worth of crack cocaine which they promptly smoked according to their statements to deputies. The motorcycle was located and retrieved by deputies and returned to its rightful owner,' tires still in good shape. The only thing the suspects smoked on this bike was it's quick sale crack value of $100. A "Mastermind" is cooking in the kitchen Another case of bravado for the fanciful chef of the danger- ous meth. This suspect was found after our previous meth mastermind lead authorities to his home. After entering the home the cook was found in the kitchen putting together his lab. Being informed of his Constitutional Rights our suspect bragged that he was "making the precur- sors." and continued with "if you all would have waited one more day, I would have master- minded the cooking of meth." After some more bragging and talking all the while under his Miranda rights a second search warrant was obtained and executed. Their deputies found a bag containing 16 grams of powder Cocaine, which a field test turned out positive. Three more baggies were found containing 9 grams of finished Methamphetamine. This case goes to show how rampant the drug Methamphetamine is in our community and the work our law enforcement officers are doing to curtail it. Just wanting to chill with my friends fridge Family can be a little like fish. They are fine when they first arrive but depending on condi- tions can start to stink pretty quick. One sister has it the other wants it, what is it? A mini fridge, why does sister two want it? According to sister one, to support her drug habit. Do you think it might be for the meth that did not make the streets in the above mentioned tail? According to reports, sister two asked sister one if she could have her small white refrigera- tor, sister one said NO. Sister one told her no because sister two had stolen so much from her to support her drug habit. While sister one was gone sister two showed up. Sister two asked mother for the key to the bus in which the small white refrigerator was located, mother apparently in tune with sister one said NO. Sister two asked mother if she could break the lock and take the small white refrigerator, mother said NO, I can not give you permission to break the lock and take the small white refrigerator. Sister two then broke the lock and took the small white refrigerator. So which is it a cold family or just another ice princess?

At 6:30 o'clock Saturday evening, February 12, in a pretty ceremony in the Laurel Hill Baptist Church, Miss Bobby Jane Reeves, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Reeves of Laurel Hill was united in marriage to J.W. Brown of Crestview. The church was beautifully deco- rated with large baskets of pure white lilies and vivid green ferns and shrub- bery. While the guests were ushered in by Bobby Stuckey and Tommy Home of Crestview, Mrs. Laura Campbell played softly at the piano. Miss Betty Thomas of New Orleans, a long-time friend of the bride, then sang in her beautiful dear voice two beloved wedding songs, "Always" and "Because". Under the soft light of the cande- labra extending the full width of the church rostrum, the wedding party assembled and Rev. J.A. Nichols offi- ciated at the impressive double ring ceremony. The bride's maid-of-honor was her sister, Mrs. Marrell Reeves King of Sumter, S.C. and her two attendants were Iva Weekly of Laurel Hill and Nelda Gutnick of Crestview. The bridegroom's best man was Gene Keen of Crestview, his two groomsmen were Bobby Stuckey and Tommy Home. A delightful reception was held after the ceremony, given by the bride's parents. A huge and delicious wedding cake was served along with fruit punch. The newlyweds are now making their home in Crestview. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Kolb and Mr. Gary Brown invite you to a recep- tion honoring J.W. and Bobbie Brown as they celebrate 50 years of marriage.

More' than 20 aircrew and maintenance airmen assigned to the 8th Special Operations Squadron were amongst the last members of the unit to return home Tuesday fol- lowing a series of highly success- ful deployments in support of Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom and Secure Tomorrow. When the World Trade Center fell on Sept. 11, 2001, the 8th SOS was propelled into Operation Enduring Freedom. During that time the, squadron was nearly completely deployed, operating from several deployed locations simultaneously to unseat the Taliban rulers and install the inter- im government. When Operation Iraqi Freedom kicked off, the 8th was once again at the forefront. Its crews were some of the first to cross the Iraqi' border as hostilities began, provid- ing specialized airpower for coali- tion conventional and special operations forces. Throughout this period the unit flew 2,555 combat sorties for a combined total of 6,778 combat flying hours, per- formed 307 combat airdrops, delivered 6.75 million pounds of cargo and supplied 1.3 million pounds of fuel to 275 helicopters in support of combat operations.- The 8th SOS, assigned to the 16th Special Operations Wing, is a geographically separated unit located at nearby Duke Field. The primary mission of the 8th SOS is iLsertion, extraction and re-supply of unconventional warfare forces a'-d equipment into hostile or e emy-controled territory using a '-land or airdrop procedures.

Elementary students already have a reading course. Now, stiidents who need reading instruc- ' ti iWifll' contiiiie 'ri iite'aingc lasses~ through middle and high school for as long as necessary. Students who are already profi- cient readers will not be required to take the courses. "Improving the reading skills of middle and high school students is the greatest unexploited opportunity for Okaloosa Schools to achieve even better student performance," Gaetz said. "Our secondary schools are achieving far greater gains and showing much higher proficiency in reading today than ever before. But as long as we.see a group of stu- dents actually regressing in literacy skills as they move through middle and high school, our job is far from done." In general, students will qualify for reading classes if they have fall- en below "level three" on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. A student will take as many semesters of reading as needed to develop a mastery of basic skills. The required reading courses will not supplant other requirements but will take the place of electives. The county's high school band directors, representing the largest group of students taking elective courses, publicly supported the Superintendent's plan. So has the teachers union. . As approved by the School Board, the plan calls for a $2,000.00 incentive payment for any teacher who completes reading endorse- ment training and is prepared to accept a position teaching reading to Okaloosa middle and high school students. The intensive reading require- ment is the final prong of a three- part plan to reverse reading regres- sions among some adolescent read- ers and raise reading standards for all students. In 2001-2002, Okaloosa became the first district in Florida to end social promotions in all grades and provide unprecedent- ed help beyond the regular school day to help retained students. Last year, the district embedded literacy coaches in all elementary schools and this year in all middle schools to help teachers build stronger liter- acy skills into all subject areas. Both efforts are credited with help- ing the Okaloosa district move from the middle among the state's 67 counties to become Florida's K-12 academic leader in 2003 and again in 2004.

FEBRUARY 9. 2005 CRESTVIEW NEWS BULLETIN / CRESTVIEW, FLORIDA Sunday View Next Monday will be Valentine's Day, and with it will be many expressions of love. What does the Bible say about romantic love? One thing it never men- tions is our much-used expres- sion, "falling in love." This is not a biblical concept but is rel- atively modem. There are really two ideas within this concept. The first is being "in love." Being in love means being in a state of infatuation. It means that we are enthralled in the presence of someone and even with thoughts of that person, though he or she may be far away. These fascinating ones look good, have a great person- ality, and have charm or power or other assets. They seem to be Can you help falling in love? irresistible in their appeal. We have a R l fixation with -them. We are held captive by their attractive- ness. When two are first in love, they look pretty ridiculous at times. They act silly or goofy to other family members. They stare at one another with a "sick" look. They are literally "love sick." We use words asso- ciated with sickness to describe the condition. Johnny Cash used to sing, "Love is a burning thing" and he and his wife, June, used to sing, "We got married in a fever." Family members can hardly wait for the couple to be married, so that some of that silliness might settle. But, how did the couple get into such a state? They "fell" 'into it. It was out of their con- trol. Elvis sang, "I can't help falling in love with you." You are absolutely helpless in a falling situation. Gravity is in control. Many a person is not "on the prowl," when he or she just "falls" in love. "It just hap- pened," so many people say about their love relationship. There was no planning. There was no determination. There was no will involved. It was those unpredictable emotions. It "just happened." Many a per- son has to explain to a wronged mate, "I don't know why I had that affair; it just happened." Normally, who is ever blamed for a fall? We pity such a per- son. On a recent mission trip to Romania, I fell (into a mud puddle) getting out of a van. Everybody in my group felt sorry for me. I felt pretty sorry for myself! If you fall in love it is "just one of those things, just one of those crazy things," as the song goes. However, whether we are speaking of the fever of being in love or the way we got there "by falling" both ideas carry another idea, that of termina- tion. A fall and a fever both end. You don't have a fever for- ever, and you don't fall forever. Many times people cannot recover from the ending of the falling in love. They are so ignorant of the will of God regarding romantic love and marriage, that they open up to another "fall." They get bored with their mate. The mate is not nearly so attractive, or witty, or attentive as he or she used to be. Someone nearby is more attractive, or witty, or even attentive. The new person "lights up the life" of the bored one, and as the song goes, "It can't be wrong, when it feels so right." (And there they go again-bringing up those feel- ings, those can't be blamed emotions!) Finally, how can a Christian help avoid the "falling in love" trap? Well, first of all, falling in love with the right person isn't wrong. God has, for most peo- ple, a person (I might add, of the opposite sex!) already cho- sen. So, within His will, go ahead and take the "fall." But, like a stunt person planning a fall in the movies, plan for your fall, and you won't get hurt. The Bible says, "Flee ...youthful lusts" (II Timothy 2:22). In other words, run away from the wrong kind of "love." Realize that you are about to "fall" and get control. If I play near a cliff, I will probably fall, If I walk without a necessary cane, I will probably fall. If I get drunk, I will probably fall. If I take med- icine that makes me dizzy, I will probably fall. It is no sin to rec- ognize beauty or be charmed by a great personality. But, if you find yourself in dose proximity to the beautiful person with a charming personality, be on guard. If a relationship is not illegitimate, still, be on guard. Your will is not so powerless as the word "fall" suggests. If you, with God's blessings, marry someone, you should under- stand the temporariness of the prenuptial, crazy, silly "in love" stuff. Determine, from the beginning, by an act of your will, with or without those wild emotions, to always love your mate. The Bible says just do it: "Husbands, love your wives..." (Ephesians 5:25). The Bible cares nothing about the "in love" state, but everything about the "love" state. I love my wife more now than when I married her forty years ago, but my parents and sisters must surely be glad that the goofy stuff has long been over. I choose to love her today, just as I chose her to be my wife four decades ago. A bevy of beauties have been in close proximity from time to time in the last few decades, but I have chosen to love the love of my life over every one of them every time. And, if my dear wife becomes very old and wrinkled and bent over and stiff and in a wheel chair, she will be more valuable to me than ten thousand, gor- geous, youthful, babes. She will still be the love of my life. Happy Valentine's! Mark D. McClard is the direc- tor of Cornerstone Ministries in Crestview.

The actions are being implemented following presen- tations to and approval by the District Board of Directors at their regular monthly meeting held January 28, 2005. Jose Lozano, Chief Executive Officer for the utility, presented the bi-annual figures on the cost of natural gas to the Board of Directors. "Gas prices have been high, but lower than our last PGA (purchased cost of gas adjustment) that went into effect in August," Lozano said. "As a result, we have been over-col- lecting the cost of gas by a small margin. Present market condi- tions suggest gas prices for the next six months will be below our current PGA of $0.7205/ therm." The board members agreed with the figures and analysis presented by Lozano and begin- ning with the February 2005 bills, the new cost of gas, includ- ing the adjustment for the slight over-collection for the last six months will decrease to $0.6535 per therm. This rate includes the estimated cost of gas for the next six months of $0.6562 per therm, minus $0.0027 per therm for the over-collection. The cost of nat- ural gas is a pass-through to cus- tomers. The cost to purchase the commodity is estimated for a sixth-month period. At the same time, the previous six month period is analyzed comparing the rate charged to customers for fuel and the actual price paid to purchase it by the District. Under and over collections on the estimated charge is then fac- tored in to the price-per-therm for the next six-month period. This common practice of adjust- ment occurs twice annually for the district for bills beginning in February and August of each year. Joan Kradlak The cost of gas is one of three components of a customer bill. The others are the monthly cus- tomer and delivery charges. The customer charge includes the cost of reading the meter, main- taining customer records, and accounting for bill payments, credit and other transactions affecting your account. This charge is incurred even if no gas is used during the month. The delivery charge pays for the operation and maintenance of the pipeline system that delivers gas to your home or business. This is a volumetric charge that increases with gas usage. The cost of gas is not the only impacted portion of rates. In keeping with the recommenda- tions resulting from a rate study performed by R.W. Beck in May 2003 and 'the Feasibility Study performed in 2004, utility man- agement requested the Board of Directors approve an adjust- ment in the monthly customer charge and delivery rate por- tions of customer bills. The changes would become effective in April 2005. The customer charge will increase from its cur- rent $8 a month to $10 per month. The delivery rate, which is a volumetric charge based on consumption would be increased approximately two percent from $0.4275 per therm to $0.4361 per therm. The average residential cus- tomer will see very little affect on their monthly bill overall. "A residential customer using 35 therms a month will actually see a 5-cent reduction on their bill," explained Gary Long, Vice President of Marketing for Okaloosa Gas. "A customer using 10 therms a month would see a $1.42 increase and a cus- tomer using 100 therms a month would see a $3.85 a month decrease." The differences illus- trated in the examples reflect the decrease in the 'cost of gas charge being adjusted down- ward beginning with the February 2005 billing and the increases in the customer and delivery charges beginning in April 2005. Customers can visit the District web site at www.okaloosagas.com and use the free rate calculator link on the front page to see what the changes in the rates will mean for their individual natural gas usage. The changes are being implemented in part to provide funding for system integrity and expansion projects. The Board of Directors approved a plan to provide needed improvements to the natural gas distribution system to increase capacity and reliabil- ity. The major project will pro- vide another needed supply line for Okaloosa Gas customers in the eastern-most area of'its ser- vice territory. A 26-mile 10-inch line will be constructed from DeFuniak Springs southward to Highway 98 in South Walton County. The expansion will provide a loop in the system serving the area from Okaloosa Island and throughout Walton County. The western portion of the service area already has a similar sys- tem in place which provides greater reliability of service. "The District needs to pro- vide for system improvements in order to assure reliability of our existing system," explained Lozano, "and keep up with the growth in Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton counties in our ser- vice territory." Lozano noted that in the near future, Okaloosa Gas could reach capacity if the growth issues are not addressed soon. Providing natural gas service throughout the designated terri- tory is fundamental to the District charter issued by the state of Florida in 1953. Board members approved a resolution authorizing the issuance of up to $12 million gas system revenue bonds to fund the expansion.

Lauren McLaughlin News Bulletin Reporter Ranked with the top mortgage leaders in America, Market Street Mortgage" offers loans to homebuyers, builders, and real estate agents that reach a yearly total of $3 billion. Residents of Crestview who are looking to finance a new home can visit Market Street Mortgage's local branch downtown at 398 N. Main Street. According to Communications Manager Jerilyn Grunbaum, "Our eighty-one offices operate seamlessly with our headquar- ters based in Clearwater, Florida." If you don't feel like going to the office, visit their web site at www.marketstreetmortgage.com, or call them at 683-1188. But if you're a first-time homebuyer, you might want to go chat with one of the loan offi- cers face to face. "Our loan officers can help first time home- buyers by offering them special programs and financing depending on their situation, and educating them about the homebuying process," said Grunbaum. At the Crestview branch, potential home- buyers may direct their inquiries to Mortgage Loan Officer Patty Taylor or Sheila Blackerby. Although Patty Taylor moved to Crestview in January of 2004 for personal reasons, she is thankful that Market Street set up a branch for her here. "I actually moved here to spend time with my grandchildren, who live in Bluewater," said Taylor. "When they (Market Street) offered to set me up here it was an honor." Until Taylor's arrival a little over a year ago, Market Street hadn't had much exposure in the panhandle. With a mind not only to work in the community, but also to support it, Taylor moved to the heart of Crestview downtown. "Wherever my office is, that's where I want- ed to live so I could get involved in the com- munity," she said. "When you live in the com- munity you work in, you support that commu- nity." Like Taylor, Sheila Blackerby also believes in community involvement. She came to Crestview in 1969 when her father moved here with the military. A few years later she started her broad career, which includes experience with insurance companies, a construction com- pany, developer, credit unions, banks, mort- gage brokers, and lenders. "It's given me lots of experience," she explained. And experience is vital for a job such as hers. "This business constantly changes," she said. "Anyone that tells you they're an expert is lying through their teeth." Blackerby has helped with the American. Cancer Society for 10 years, holding offices such as president and board secretary, and she has also been a chairperson for Relay for Life. She has been involved with the Builders Association and Realtors Association, as well as the Crestview Chamber of Commerce. More than anything, Blackerby has a pas- sion for working with people. "I like working with first-time homebuy- ers," she said. "I'm willing to go at their pace." What is her secret of success? "It's really important to communicate. I like to do it one on one," she described. "I can tell if the lights are on if they're getting it." Whether you're trying to buy your first home or seeking a second mortgage, a quick trip to N. Main Street will show you why Market Street Mortgage" is "The easy way home." Some financing programs you may discuss with MarketStreet Mortgage include the following: 4927 Antioch Rd.

Steve Andrews Managing Editor It was late Friday night when Bob Kellogg finally got the call he had been hoping for from Baker Principal Tom Shipp. "Are you ready to be a Gator?," Shipp asked Kellogg. It didn't take the veteran coach long to answer. "Go Gators," Kellogg told his new boss. The 51-year-old Kellogg has been tapped by Shipp to be Baker's new athletics director and head football coach, pending approval by the school board next Monday night. Kellogg made his first visit to Baker's Doug Griffith Memorial Stadium as a Gator on Monday afternoon. As he walked down the steps he gazed across his new home field and smiled. "This is a nice stadium," he said. "They've really done a lot of stuff to this place since the last time I was here. "It really looks nice." The last time Kellogg saw that field was back in the mid-1990s, when he traveled over from Crestview for a JV game. "It's been a long time," he said. SKellogg, who just completed his 29th year of coaching high school football, spent 13 years as the offen- sive coordinator at Crestview under Head Coach LarrN Olson. from 19 t8 -99. ' He has spent the last three sea- sons in the same position at Navarre. "I'm real excited," Kellogg.said. "I look forward to the challenge and look forward to meeting the kids. I'm excited about the whole situa- tion." Kellogg has lived on the west side of Crestview for the past 17 years, just a short drive from his soon-to-be office.- "I've always liked the makeup of Baker," he said. "I like the way it involves the entire community. Everybody knows everybody, and everybody is a Gator. You just don't have that when you get to those big- ger schools." He applied for the Baker job once before ir 1990, before it went to Jeff Webb. "I just know that they've got great tradition," Kellogg said. "I remember coming up to watch some of those games when they were winning those state titles back in the 80s. It was exciting to pull for those guys and 'see a small commu- nity like this be able to do so many great things.", Shipp is confident that he made the right decision by choosing Kellogg over the two other finalists, Ken Nielsen/The News Bulletin Bob Kellogg, who was chosen this week to be Baker's new athletics director and head football coach, stands inside Doug Griffith Memorial Stadium on Monday afternoon. Pending school board approval next Monday night, Kellogg will begin at Baker on Feb. 21. Fort Pierce John Carroll head coach Leonard Jankowski and Columbus (Ga.) Carver offensive coordinator Donald Jones. "I feel great about the decision," Shipp said. "I'm really excited. He's already gotten a real positive response from a lot of the parents in the community and our staff mem- bers. "He seems to be well received." Shipp admitted that the decision was not easy with three qualified candidates. "I think the thing that finally led me to Mr. Kellogg is the stability that I think he will bring to our pro- gram," Shipp said. "He understands the community. He knows what we're all about here. I think he's got great people skills and a great repu- tation in our community." Shipp and Kellogg have actually known each other for nearly .20 years, coaching together on the Crestview staff in 1987 and 1988. But Shipp said their personal rela- tionship did not influence his deci- sion last week. "It does relieve me to know where I stand with him and know what to expect," Shipp said. "I know how easy he is to work with. I know how hard he works. I know he truly cares about kids and their well-being. "So, even though those things didn't influence my decision, they are certainly a comfort to know n Age: 51 (Born Sept. 20, 1953) n Family: Susan, his wife of 28 years, is a physical education teacher at Davidson Middle School.

His daughter, Kacy, 20, is a junior at the University of West Florida. n Education: He is a,1971 graduate of Tallahassee Godby High School and a 1975 graduate of Florida State University with a degree in physical education. He went on to earn a, master's degree in educational leadership from the University of West Florida in 1993. n Coaching Career: Assistant coach at Fort Walton Beach from 1976-85; head coach at Springfield Rutherford in 1986; assistant coach at Crestview from 1987-99; assistant coach at N16eville irn 2000; assistant coach at Fort Walton Beach in about the individual we have com- ing in here." Kellogg's coaching career began as an assistant at Fort Walton Beach in 1976. He spent one year as the head coach and athletics director at Springfield Rutherford High School in 1986, before coming to Crestview. At Rutherford, he went 2-8 after taking over a program that was in turmoil, with the state's longest los- ing streak. "That wasn't a real 'good situa- tion at Rutherford for me and my family, so I decided to leave after that first year," Kellogg said. "I wasn't sure another opportunity to be a head coach would ever come along again. "I always wanted another shot at being a head coach. I've been an assistant for a lot of years, and I just wanted one more shot to do it myself." After leaving Crestview High School in 1999, Kellogg spent a year at Niceville, then one at Fort Walton Beach, before landing at Navarre, again under Olson. He helped lead the Raiders to their first winning season in 2003. During his stint in Crestview, Kellogg helped the Bulldogs com- pile a record of 76-60, including three district championships, and six runner-ups. .Crestview's record during that time included 40 regular season games against teams in higher clas- sifications. In 1990, Kellogg helped guide the Bulldogs to a 10-0 regular-sea- son mark, before losing a late heart- breaker to eventual state champion Live Oak Suwanee in the regional playoffs. Kellogg stared with confidence at Baker's four state championship banners hanging at the end of the field on Monday afternoon. '"I look at those as motivation," he said. "I'd like to get these guys back to the big show and win it again. "As a coach that's what we all strive for. I've been on some teams that have come close, but I've never been there. Hopefully we can put another one. of those banners up there some day." With the loss of 11 seniors, almost all starters, Kellogg will have his work cut out his first sea- son. He said he knows very little about last year's team. "I've heard that they had a lot of good seniors that are graduating," he said. "I've also heard that they have a couple of key'players com- ing back. "It's like anything else. You just have to start working, getting in the weightroom in the offseason and just trying to develop the younger kids. That takes time, but for me, it's just a matter of going to work." Once he gets school board approval, Kellogg plans to hit the ground running. His final day at Navarre is set for Feb. 18. His first day at Baker is set for Feb. 21. Once he is.in place, he intends on being more than just a coach on the field. He prides himself in also being a mentor and role model off the field. A big part of Kellogg's life has been his involvement with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and he plans to soon develop a chapter at Baker. He has been a part of the organization since 1979, and began the chapter at Crestview while he was there. "When we had our FCA meet- ings at Crestview, I remember we had. Baker kids showing up," he said. "The FCA has been a big part of my life and a big part of a lot of kids' lives coming through athlet- ics. "Whether people believe or not in the Bible, I think we can live by those principles that are taught in the Bible. I think there's a big cor- relation between those principles "and athlerncs. and what these soung people can get in life by working hard, doing things the right way, and by building character and good morals. To me, that's what athletics is all about developing that dis- cipline and character, and trying to make kids successful when they leave here." Kellogg calls football the "greatest sport in the world," because of its team concept. His game plan for success is molding a group of individuals into one single unit. But, he insists, it must be enjoy- able. "I think that's why I love coach- ing so much, is being able to influ- ence these young kids in a positive way," he said. "I would love for all of these kids to have just a great high school experience, because to me that's what it's all about. We all remember our high school years." Growing up in Tallahassee and being a life-long FSU fan, the biggest challenge Kellogg may face is getting used to being called a Gator. "At least we've got the right col- ors," he said with a hearty laugh. "No, that won't be a problem at all. I'm proud to be a Gator, and I'll do the Gator Chomp all day long."

A MEMBER OF THE PEAK FINANCIAL NETWORK www.lundyandbowers.com Over. thle last 20 years d- ih * MILITARY BEAT Crestview resident Liedel recalls memories of 'Nam * The retired Naval lieutenant commander served with former Sen. Jeremiah Denton of Alabama. John Parrott News Bulletin Corespondent George Liedel's eyes grows moist as he talks about an ecumenical serv- ice he took part in 31 years ago. It was a moving but celebratory service in which two of his friends were welcomed home after being released from a North Vietnamese prison camp. "As 1 stood behind the lectern, looking down at the gatint faces of Jeny (Jeremiah) Denton and Bill (William Michael) LIEDEL Tschudy, I had a sudden flash - In 1968 back to that July day in 1965 when we learned they had been shot down and taken prisoner by the North Vietnamese," Liedel said, recalling the homecoming celebration service at Oceania Air Station Chapel, Norfolk, Va., in Oct. 1973. Liedel, now retired and living in Crestview, was then a lieutenant com- mander in the U.S. Navy. He was so moved by what he saw he choked up as he read from the Bible. "You could see the ravages of tor- ture, especially in the appearance of Jerry Denton." Liedel said in a moment of quietness. He was the only non-cleric who spoke that morning, but it was an event he will never forget. Eight years earlier, on the morning of July 18, 1965, Liedel watched as his friends Denton and Tschudy were lift- ed off the flight deck in their Grumman A-6A Intruder. They had just taken off from the aircraft carrier, USS Independence, as it was positioned off the southern coast of Vietnam in what was known as "Dixie Station." "It was a routine combat mission, or as routine as any combat mission was in those days," Liedel stated. Butlater in the' Lday as.aircraft returned frg0 j eir asipged ..iUge<.h,. learned his two friends had been shot down. "We didn't know they had been captured until several days later." he said. "It was then I began to think about Jerry, and his family back in Virginia." Then he recalled going to church with the Dentons. "They just lived down the street from us, and our kids played together all the time." "A lot of people have forgotten what he went through," he added. Liedel was talking about the inci- dent of May 17, 1966, in which Commander Denton was paraded in front of live television cameras and defied his captors by blinking the word "torture" in Morse code with his eyelids on American national TV. "This act of disobedience incensed his captors, but made us come to real- ize what Jane Fohlda and others had been saying about the humane treat- John Parrott/The News Bulletin Now retired from the Navy, Crestview resident George Liedel looks through history books of Vietnam in his home recently. ment of our guys was a lie," Liedel said with an edge to his voice. "But thanks to him, our awareness was raised, and you know, it lit a fire under our behinds." This same Jeremiah Denton would retire as a Rear Admiral and be elect- ed to the U.S. Senate in 1980. He served his home state of Alabama until 1988. This is one of the lasting memories Liedel has of his distinguished 26- year naval career that began in 1952 and ended in Oct. 1979. He and his late wife Judy, who passed away in 2000, were married in 1953, and after rearing six children and traveling the globe as husband and wife for 26 years, decided to come back to the States to retire. At that time they were stationed at NAS Bermuda and it was the trip home, his final military move, that spawned a story that could have been written by a Hollywood scriptwriter. His wife was diabetic and on insulinrand since' it would be some: ._C*i: before the) got l.thir household1 .goods and hold baggage, she con-: vinced the Navy medical corpsmen to give her a couple month's supply of syringes. Also during this time she got her sugar substitute box wet, and poured all of it into a single Zip Lock bag and packed it away with her syringes for the trip. "Everything went fine until we reached Norfolk Navy Base and start- ed through customs, when one of the inspectors saw the bag of white pow- der and bundles of syringes," Liedel said with a laugh. "Alarm bells went off all over the place. "My wife and I spent the'two hours being grilled by U.S. Agriculture and Customs agents, and we finally convinced them we had nothing more sinister than Judy's cor- sage and medical supplies. "Also what helped us was the mountain of bags we had. Remember, we had six kids, plus ourselves and the poor customs guys didn't want to go through all our luggage, so they waved us through." Among his many achievements while in uniform, Liedel had the opportunity and distinction of enlist- ing his son, Patrick Scott Liedel, into the Navy, and then dusted his uniform. off to preside over his son's retirement ceremony 20 years later. This was the military man. Today he is known as "Santa Claus." In his driveway, sits his fire engine red Ford Mustang convertible, which he has dubbed the "Santa mobile," and is decorated with reindeer antlers and decked out in Christmas motif. He has more in common with Santa Claus than most of us, and not just because he bears an uncanny resemblance to jolly old St. Nick. Like the real Santa, he has traveled the world, been north of the Arctic Circle, and crossed the equator a few dozen times. During Christmas season Liedel dons his handmade red Santa suit and becomeglajo.tjW lC~ 4 ri double in OkaloopalGpint3 L( al <*:., - This past Christmas, he handed out 1,000 candy canes to children, and not-so-young people in local hospi- tals, day care centers, retirement and convalescent homes, schools, church- es and businesses. He is also a regu- lar-at Cracker Barrel employees' Christmas parties, as well as Home Depot in Fort Walton Beach, where his daughter, Christy, works.- As an added bonus, she often accompanies him as "Mrs. Claus." He has become a favorite at Fort Walton Medical Center Children Pediatric Center. "I love kids, and they seem to like me," Liedel says. He looks and acts the part of Santa, but it is only when he talks about going to hospitals to visit seri- ously ill or handicapped children does it hit you. George Liedel is Santa Claus.

In February, North Okaloosa Medical Center and Healthy Woman are kicking off a new monthly program called "Brown Bag Lunch and Learn" to benefit men and women residing in Okaloosa and Walton counties. The purpose of the program is to provide health information to the community on current health issues that are affecting their community. "What a great way to spend time with your neighbors, take a lunch break, and learn some- thing new in healthcare," said Kim Willis, Director of Marketing. "We encourage everyone to bring their lunch, and spend an hour with one of North Okaloosa Medical Center's physicians or health- care professionals to learn infor- mation that could be valuable when they're making decisions for themselves, as well as their families' healthcare." The program is the result of the success of the bimonthly program offered by Healthy Woman. "Our Healthy Woman programs are very popular, but we realized that some people can't make night meetings due to family or work. We wanted to expand the program to meet the needs of our community, so we're encouraging men and women of all ages to attend our Brown Bag Lunch and Learn," said Willis. Due to the overwhelming response to Dr. Marty Gagliardi's recent Healthy Woman presentation, "The Weekend Warrior How To Prevent Knee and Shoulder Injury," the program has been rescheduled as the first to be offered as a Brown Bag Lunch and Learn program. The program will be Thursday, February 10, at 12:00 noon in the Senior Circle Classroom located at 127-B, Redstone Avenue in Crestview. The program is free and no reservations required. If you would like more information on the Brown Bag Lunch and Learn Program call 850-689-8445.

Although a scratchy throat is most often a sign of a cold, it can also signal strep throat. Unlike the viruses that cause sore throats affiliated with the cold and flu, the streptococcal (strep) bacteria causes strep throat. Because of this difference, strep throat is easy to treat being tested by your physi- cian or nurse practitioner. Strep throat most often occurs in children ages 3 to 15, but it also affects adults and older children. The strep bacteria are highly contagious and spread through the air when people with the infection cough or sneeze. It occurs most often in the winter months because people tend to spend more time inside within a close proximity. Strep throat is commonly spread between family members, in schools and in day care facilities. It's important to teach your chil- dren good hygiene to help avoid getting strep throat. To prevent strep throat, wash your hands regularly and cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. Also, do not drink out of the same glass or use the same eating utensils as someone with strep throat. Wash these items in hot soapy water to rid them of infectious germs. In addition to a scratchy throat, strep throat symptoms include a fever, swollen lymph glands, difficulty swallowing, headaches and stomachaches in younger children. Strep throat symptoms usually do not bring on other cold symptoms sich as coughing, sneezing or a runny nose. If you or your child has cold like symptoms in addition to m a sore throat, it's probably not strep throat. Because strep throat symptoms may also signal a variety of other ailments, it's important to visit your primary care physi- cian to determine the illness. Your doctor will perform a throat culture to check for the presence of bacteria. During this test, the physician will rub a sterile swab over the back of -your throat and tonsils. The swab is then analyzed in the laboratory, which may take up to two.days. Additionally, the doctor may use the swab to check for foreign substances in the throat that might signal strep bacteria. Oral antibiotic medication is the best way to treat strep throat. The antibiotics will help alleviate the symptoms, destroy the bacteria and shorten the contagious period. In order for antibiotics to be most effective, treat- ment should begin within two to three days after symptoms appear. In addition to antibiotics, good home care can help ease the symptoms of strep throat. Try to get plenty of rest, drink lots of water and use a humidifier. Eating soothing foods such as soup, mashed potatoes, yogurt, frozen popsicles and applesauce can also relieve throat pain. Strep throat typically disappears within three to seven days. However, if it lasts longer or if you have any questions, contact your physician.

Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication.

UNDER NO CIRCUM- STANCE should you send any money in advance or aive the client your checking, li- cense ID, or credit card numbers.
