A 11,116i.B pI acne.c I Outback blimp lands in Hub City EWS Fire Marshal releases report on Riverwood, Ken Nielsen News Bulletin Reporter The Bureau of Fire and Arson Investigations, Florida Fire Marshal's Office has completed their investigation into the cause of the fire that destroyed part of the Riverwood Apartments on Nov. 10. According to Florida Fire Marshal's Office Detective Stephen Callahan, the cause has been dassi- fied as accidental. "It started in the area of the sec- ond floor and is attributed to the careless disposal of tobacco prod- ucts," said Callahan. The six-week investigation included interviews with the resi- dents occupying the apartments affected by the fire and material evidence collected at the scene. Linda Peaden lived in the third floor apartment directly above where the investigators deter- mined the fire began. Her apart- ment and all of her personal belongings were completely con- sumed by the blaze. "I was pretty sure the fire start- ed right below my apartment," said Peaden. "I told the investiga- tors the next day that I had smelled cigarette smoke coming through my window before I went to bed." The fire damaged a total of five apartments.."We have had to gut. everything out of those five units," said Heather Mawad, general manager for Riverwood Apartments. "We hope to begin reconstruction next month and have them available for tenants by the first part of May. Mawad said this was her first experience with a traumatic inci- dent of this scope. "I was really impressed with the way all of our residents came together and supported those five families," said Mawad. But what impressed her most was the way the American Red Cross came to, the rescue that very evening. "The Red Cross was here almost before the fire was out They really did a tremendous job and deserve a lot of credit."

The unidentified woman was flown by helicopter to Baptist Hospital. The extent of her injuries were unknown. Woman LifeFlighted after crashing into septic tank service truck Ken Nielsen News Bulletin Reporter Baptist Hospital's LifeFlight helicopter was called to airlift an unidentified woman from the scene of an accident Friday afternoon in Milligan. The wreck occurred around 12:30 p.m. at the intersection of U.S. Highway 90 west and Old River Road. Michael Burlison, in amazement, watched the whole thing transpire from the parking lot of the corner convenience store at the intersec- tion. "I saw her coming down Wadsworth at a pretty good clip," said Burlison. "She never even slowed down for the stop sign at Old River." Burlison then said that the driver turned right and headed straight out into Highway 90. "I thought for sure she .was going to stop at 90," Burlison con- tinued. "Lots of people sort of ease through the stop sign at Old River Road, but I couldn't believe that she ran the stop sign at U.S. Highway 90." Other witnesses said a Wilkinson Septic Tank and Pumping Service truck was travel- ling west on Highway 90, tried to stop, but rammed into the side of the woman's car. Her vehicle slid about 50 yards across the eastbound lane of Highway 90 and came to rest in a wooded area. "Myself and some others that were in the parking lot ran over to see if she was okay," said Burlison. "She had a lot of blood coming from her forehead and was picking glass out from her eye." When emergency response per- sonnel arrived moments later, the woman had slipped into uncon- sciousness and the EMTs called for Baptist LifeFlight. It took firefighters from the North Okaloosa and Crestview fire departments about 20 minutes to cut the metal away from around her body so that they could lift her out. They then transported her to the helicopter that was staged 1/4 mile away in the Flemming Lumber Yard. East and west traffic on U.S. Highway 90 was halted for about 30 minutes. The Florida Highway Patrol investigated the accident. No infor- mation was released Friday after- noon as to the identity of the woman or whether charges are pending. Park founder has sights set as high as the tree tops Adam Ziglar/The News Bulletin John McMahon explains to members of the Baker Garden Club why foresters plant trees in rows. Adam Ziglar News Bulletin Relorter Most area residents don't know that Crestview has a nature park. In fact, the city has had the Hub City Environmental Education Center since 1979, when it signed a 30-year lease with the state Division of Forestry. Since then, the park has underwent a few changes, including the height of the pine trees and the other coniferous creations that have spruced up within the 1 1/2 acre fenced, arboretum. On Tuesday, the Baker Garden Club visited the park, where they got a first- hand look at the plants in one of north- west Florida's only arboretums, The park has the oldest nursery of native trees in all of northwest Florida. John McMahon, the park's founder and t6ur guide, explained to the dub how air, plants, soil, animals and water intertwine to create the cycle of life that exists in all of nature. Photosynthesis, germination, harvest, growth manage- ment, energy growth cycle: these were just a handful of the terms that were scattered throughout the retired forester's lecture to the group. Each year, McMahon gives tours to more than 400 school students and other groups like the garden club. He hopes that more people will begin to show interest in park. In 1979, he thought the city leasing the land was a good idea. When he took on the project, he was the county's forester the first forester in all of Okaloosa, Santa Rosa and Walton Counties, beginning his career in 1951. The state Division of Forestry want- ed to abandon the site, which sits on a total of five acres and includes a build- ing filled with various regional stuffed animals, glass displays filled with insects and maps of the Blackwater and Yellow Rivers and the surround- ing areas. "I said to the city leaders at that time, 'Why not develop a nature park for school kids?'" In 1979, McMahon acquired a $5,000 grant from the Florida Department of Education and, with the help of locals and school officials, he planted 93 dif- ferent types of plants and also filled See TREE, page 5 INSIDE ....

Local barber seeks center for country music in Crestview John Parrott Bulletin Contributing Writer Walking into Mack Brooks barbershop at 190 South Main Street in Crestview is an experience akin to taking a stroll down memory lane for anyone 50 years of age or older. It definitely isn't one of those glitzy, glass and chrome boutiques where you can get a manicure and pedi- cure while having your hair managed by someone named Lance or Cyril. However, it is a place to sit, relax, and get a haircut while enjoying a dose of local gossip and some Crestview history. The first thing you notice is it looks and smells like a barbershop, and it will instantly remind you of the place your dad or grandfa- ther got their hair cut. The shop may appear clut- tered to some, but to others it will look like a barbershop ought. The walls are plas- tered with black and white photographs of famous and some not so famous politi- cians, along with those of family and friends. There are other pho- tographs as well, and prized among them is the collection of those who have wandered in and out of his shop over the past 50 years doing what they like doing best: playing pure unadulterated country music. It is this continuation of a ritual first begun in 1960 that draws musicians to his shop as moths to a flame. The John Parrott/The News Bulletin Mack Brooks (center) has music on his mind. The area barber and fiddle player would like to have a country music conservatory opened in Crestview. Saturday ritual begins at 2 p.m. as Brooks puts away his clippers and takes out his fiddle. From then on there is nothing but a pure, honest to goodness country hoedown. On this particular Saturday, eight musicians form the group. Lois Lancaster is on the electronic keyboard; Cowboy Colley, guitar; Tom Sutton, guitar; Lee Chamblee, fiddle; Rick Andenfield, guitar; Sandra Boswell, guitar; Brooks; Pat Carleton, banjo; Oliver Wade, guitar; and singer Kathleen Henderson. What is so amazing about these sessions is they are completely unrehearsed. There are about 100 current musicians who often take part in these impromptu gigs, and usually about 10 or 12 show up on any given Saturday. They come from divergent backgrounds and have a wide range of musical abili- ties, from the beginner to the highly accomplished, although it isn't about who is more talented, or who has the best looking instrument. It is about the playing and preservation of a form of music that has roots in the earliest times of our country. Surprisingly, this ritual has been going on virtually unnoticed for almost 50 Today's Weather 6 4w i: i years. "I started in March 1960," said Brooks while holding his fiddle. "I'd opened my first shop, just up the street in the old J.T. Faircloth shop and I got to thinking about the old timers and how they'd some- times get together and play on Saturday afternoon, and that's how it got started. I remember fiddler John King, and fellows like Olin Mayo, Obie Adams and Runt Steele, and all of them was great musicians," Brooks said. "And as they died off, I started thinking about what we needed to do to preserve this kind of music. That's when I got the idea about a music museum right here in Crestview." "I've been thinking about that for a long time now and I think Crestview needs a place like that for young musicians to come and learn their craft. That's the reason I am really pushing for the Minn 6 wc' ML city to rework the old Alatex building and turn part of it into a museum or music con- servatory." "There just aren't any places young people can go to get together and play, and that's how they learn," Brooks said. "They could learn from people like me, and others who have been handed down country music in its purest form." He ought to know, because he grew up with a music background. "My grandfather, Joe Adkins, was a music teacher and I learned from him. Country music was always part of my every- day life," said Brooks. "I grew up on his farm in Baker and since he was so well known as a music teacher, people like Red Foley, Roy Acuff and Hank Williams used to visit him pretty regular, and to me they was just ordinary peo- ple," Brooks said. "I'll tell you something else my grandparents raised Grand Old Opry star Lew Childre." Brooks stands in the mid- dle of his shop with bow in John Parrott/The News Bulletin It's all about the music as (from left) Lee Chamblis plays the fid- dle, Rick Endenfield and Cowboy Colley play the guitar and Pat Carleton plays the banjo. * S .. ../ ... .t WP4 Ata le jCopyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" i 4 0 .,.,a % II -... ,p,!:i *-llI THIS WEEK'S SPECIAL* DORAL........$17.99 CARTON + MARLBORO........$25.49 CARTON 3-PACK SPECIALS PALL MALL...........$1.99 PACK Kool.................$2.66 PACK Basic & Misty....$2.33 PACK Salem...............$2.66 PACK Virginia Slims...$2.66 PACK Camel...............$2.66 PACK Good thru January IUth RACER ..... .$8.99 CARTON 305's . .$12.95 CARTON FIRST ONE'S .$11.95 CARTON CHECKERS ... .$18.99 CARTON ROMY .. . .$11.95 CARTON WINSTON .$22.49 CARTON GP ....... .$12.95 CARTON NEWPORT.......$26.49 CARTON LOWEST PRICES ON SPECIALTY TOBACCO PRODUCTS AL CAPONE SLIMS TAMPA SWEETS PHILLIES Cigarettes and Tobacco Products WITH DRIVE-THRU CONVENIENCE OPEN FROM 6 AM TO 8 PM Crestview Cheap Smokes 1-850-682-1897 Corner of Hwy. 85 & Main Street g FUMADOR BARATO 0 ff- .. ...... ........ .... ...

"What if nobody ever heard the story about fiddler John King? I bet you don't know who I'm talking about," Brooks asked. "Crestview pioneer and fid- dler John King and some of his fiddle playing friends would congregate in Keel's barbershop and entertain Saturday afternoon crowds. Anyway the Chicago mob- ster, Al Capone, used to come down here and stay at the old Valparaiso Inn, and he heard John playing the fiddle one night and liked it so well that he took him back to Chicago to work in his saloons. "A lot of people don't know that," he added. "John even married a woman from Chicago and brought her back here." These are the kind of sto- ries and recollections that Brooks wants to become part of the musical heritage of Crestview. Men like John King began it, and Mack Brooks wants to preserve it. ~AT1JRflAY~ JANUARY 7. 2006 CRESTVIEW NEWS PIILLETIN PAGE 3 5AM 11PM 7 DAYS A WEEK a soline Diesel Off Road Diesel MR.

Blimps travel at very low speeds, 'at times allowing themselves to remain nearly stationary where they hover silently. They also have the unique advantage of being able to stay airborne for long periods of time. Carrying state-of-the-art camera equipment weighing approximately 250 pounds, the Bloomin' Onion I provides a unique perspective of the action below. The camera has the capability of shooting play action as well as the wide- angle "beauty shots" tradi- tionally provided by aerial cameras: The Bloomin' Onion I is equipped with a gyro-stabi- lized camera mounted on the nose of the gondola. The camera technician operates the equipment from within the gondola by two joysticks, much like a video game. The cameraman receives his cues from the' link. A microwave transmitter sends the camera's signal from the blimp to a receiver on the ground. The signal is then fed live into the produc- tion truck or put on videotape for later broadcast or replay. The outer covering of the blimp, or envelope, consists of a high-tech 3-layer material consisting of a weather resis- tant plastic film laminated to a rip-stop polyester fabric on the outer surface, and a tedlar helium barrier on the inner surface. Though the envelope may appear taut and rigid, it is actually very flexible. Thus the term "non-rigid" is used to distinguish today's blimps from the metal-framed zep- pelins of the early 1900's. There are multiple stories on the origin of the word "blimp". One comes from a combination of the Naval des- ignation for a "lighter-than- air" craft, type "B", and "limp", meaning "non-rigid". The other, more popular, story is that "blimp" is the sound Crestview News Bulletin "Okaloosa's County Seat Newspaper of Record" To report news, for information, subscriptions and advertising, call 682-6524.

The Outback Steakhouse Blooming' Onion I blimp is illuminated from nose to tail by two special ultrahigh effi- ciency 1000-watt lamps mounted inside the top of the envelope. Each envelope pro- vides an enormous amount of light providing dramatic nighttime visibility. An Aussie boomerang, symbolic of the Australian themed steak- house, is displayed on both sides of the blimp. The blimp's teardrop shape is maintained by regulating the internal pressure of the helium gas that fills the craft. Centrally located inside the envelope is an igloo shaped air chamber called the rbal- lonet. Although the bulk of the envelope is filled with helium,. the air filled ballonet expands and contracts to compensate ,.for changes in the helium vol- tnime-due-to varyirtg tempera-i ture and altitude. The pilot controls the ballonets, so he need not discharge, or "valve off", the expensive helium gas. Helium has been used as the lifting gas for airships for more than 50 years. It is a nat- ural inert element that is often found in natural gas deposits. Helium is the lifting agent of' choice as it is nonflammable and, therefore, one of. the safest lifting agents for, blimps. While on the ground, 'the blimp is secured to a station- ary pole, called the mooring mast, which is erected at the landing area. A rigid nose dish is mounted on the front of the envelope and is attached to the mooring mast when the ship is grounded. When moored in this manner, the blimp can move freely around the mast as the wind direction changes, yet is fully secure. Also attached to the nose dish are 'the nose lines, which are used by the ground crew to maneuver the ship during takeoffs and landings, and to keep the blimp steady during passenger exchanges. The tail fins, which help control flight direction, are anchored to the envelope at the rear of the ship and are supported by guide wires. The elevators and rudders, which also assist in guiding the blimp's movement, are mounted to the fins' edges with hinges. The pilot can control the pitch and direction of the blimp by manipulating the elevators, which can move the blimp up and down, and the rudders, which can move the airship left and right. The pilot and passenger compartment, called the gon- dola, contains a number of lead shot bags that are con- stantly adjusted, depending on analysis of conditions made by the crew. For exam- ple, the payload, or weight, of the flight dictates how many lead shot bags are used. Normally, the airship is flown slightly ;weighted down or "heavy".

Small farmers and the nutri- tionally at-risk help each other in Florida's WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program "I like shopping at farm- ers' markets because I want to help local farmers." "I love the service and fresh fruits." "The farmers' market is a good way to get everyone to start eating healthy." "I enjoy taking the kids to learn about fresh fruits and vegetables." "I like the people!" This is what women are saying about their introduc- tion to Florida's farmers' markets through the Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP). The FMNP is a cooperative fed- eral-state program that encourages low-income women to shop at local farmers' markets for fresh fruits and vegetables to feed themselves and their chil- dren. At Tallahassee's Downtown Market on a sunny Saturday morning, it's easy to see why shop- pers would be enthusiastic. Under shady tents, beneath granddaddy oaks, tables are brimming with ripe pro- duce, fragrant herbs, and buckets of just-picked zin- nias and sunflowers. There are tomatoes red as roses and sweet as some exotic tropical fruit; shiny bell pep- pers; fat organic blueberries; sunny squash; fluffy piles of arugula; gorgeous mush- rooms; and more-much more. The market is like a giant cornucopia-boun- teous, eye-popping, mouth- watering. The atmosphere is festive and friendly asfarm- ers and their customers laugh, chat, and get to know one another. The Florida WIC/Farmers' Market Nutrition Program is admin- istered by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, -which is headed by Florida ,Agriculture Commissioner Charles H. Bronson. Using -state and federal funds, the -program is operated in- -cooperation with the Flprida Department of Health, local -WIC offices, and the University of Florida's 'Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and Cooperative Extension Service. ,; ,It began in Florida as a ,pilot program with only three'counties participating. Now 16 North Florida coun- ties, nearly 200 growers, and '-over'34,000 women and chil- d:eittpke part. From the start, the program has been well received by both farm- at the farmers' markets because the food is afford- able and fresh, and they can establish a rapport with the farmers," Bronson said. "The farmers like it because it means more customers and an extra income for them. A lot of the farmers that partic- ipate have very small farms, and the extra money really means a lot to them." The Farmers' Market Nutrition Program is an off- shoot of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, popu- larly known as WIC. WIC provides supplemental food, health care referrals, and nutrition education to young children and pregnant, post- partum, and breastfeeding women who are nutritional- ly at risk. WIC is a program with a proven track record. For every dollar spent on WIC prenatal services, there is a savings of $3.50 over the next 18 years on such costs as hospitalization, outpatient care, special education, and supplemental care for dis- abled children. The Farmers' Market Nutrition Program was established by Congress in 1992 as an extension of WIC. Its mission is two-fold: to provide nutrition informa- tion on the importance of fresh fruits and vegetables to women and children, ..., -. enrolled in WIC; and to increase awareness of, use of, and sales at farmers' markets. Once a year, each recipient receives $20 worth of coupons to spend between April 1 and July 31 on fresh, unprocessed, local- ly grown produce. USDA provides funding for food' and 70 percent of the admin- istrative costs, while the state funds 30 percent of administrative costs. The FMNP uses the estab- lished WIC infrastructure to educate nutritionally at-risk individuals on the impor- tance of including fresh fruits and vegetables in their everyday diet..The coupons are given as an incentive to try the fruits and vegetables on which the recipients have just received information. Statistics show Americans desperately need training in how to eat right. Childhood obesity has tripled in the last 20 years, the rate of Type II diabetes is up, and diet- related illnesses and deaths now cost the nation billions of dollars annually. According to the U.S. Department of Health and BAK ER FAMILY MEDICAL CLINIC patient 1321 Georgia Avenue, ii Baker, Florida |iendly 850-537-2700 Health l % n^ A %i' Valk in's welcome T Same day appointments ' Most insurance accepted SFriendly staff S Hours: Mon-Fri 9am-5pm The staff of Baker Family Medical Clinic ready to help you and your family with all of your health care needs. Human Services, only 20 percent of American kids eat the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables. That's bad news, because research proves that eating at least five portions of fruits and vegetables each day has very real health benefits. Fruits and vegetables tend to be low in fat and calories. They pack plenty of fiber and vitamins A and C. They can even help reduce our risk of heart disease and some cancers. Through the FMNP, par- ticipating farmers become teachers, sharing their knowledge and experience. County extension agents get into the act too, setting up booths at the markets to dis- tribute nutrition informa- tion. "A lot of young people might not be familiar with how to cook some of our produce," said Mitchell Anderson, a farmer from Bradford County. "They ask questions, and my wife and I are able to share cooking tips. It's a nice opportunity for them to get to talk to older people who know how to prepare the foods. You know, we've had quite a few years of experience growing these things." - But why the emphasis on farmers' markets? If you talk to the .people who organize them, sell at them, and shop at them, the answer seems pretty clear-cut: Buying and eating fresh, locally grown produce is good for women, and it's good for their chil- dren. It's good for small farmers and the local econo- my and community. It's even good for the environ- ment. "The Farmers' Market Nutrition Program is really important because it goes beyond traditional food stamps," said Sharon Yeago, manager of the High Springs Farmers' Market in Alachua County. "At the farmers' markets you're buying a product that was harvested within 24 hours of your pur- chase, so you're getting almost 100 percent of the nutritional value. You're get- ting better quality and better value." Supermarket produce tends to travel long dis- tances (1,500 miles is about FRFF w o PRKEEc. average, studies show) and sit for days before being sold. Quality, nutritional value, flavor and even tex- ture can be affected. When people try produce fresh from the farm, they are often surprised by the difference. "Taste," Yeago said. "That's what really gets peo- ple first. A carrot fresh from the ground is tender and delicious. There's so much flavor. It's so dramatic. People get hooked." People can feed them- selves better, for less money, at their local farmers' mar- kets, Yeago said. And this is something many FMNP recipients come to realize after just a few visits. The produce isn't just more nutritious; it's more interesting, too. Farmers' markets often feature unusu- al heirloom varieties and organic and naturally grown items. The emphasis is on flavor, rather than long shelf life. Delicious, highly perish- able regional specialties- persimmons and scupper- nongs, for instance, in North Florida, lychees and custard apples in South Florida-can be found at the markets in season. As it turns out, buying local food is a very environ- mentally friendly decision. When we buy local, we cut down on the miles our food has to travel, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. We also reduce our con- sumption of wasteful pack- aging. (At farmers' markets most of the produce is sold loose and carried home in recycled grocery bags.) Perhaps most important, buying local helps preserve Florida's rapidly disappear- ing rural landscape, the green, open spaces long nur- tured by farm families. The FMNP is an invest- ment in local agriculture. In order to participate in the farmers; they can t simply buy produce-from;someone else and sell it at their local market.

Though FMNP officials and participants are pleased with the program, they con- tinue to work to improve it. One area they are concen- trating on is the redemption rate of the coupons, which usually hovers at a little over 50 percent in Florida. (As officials work to improve redemption rates, they have been routinely over-issuing coupons to make sure all the grant money is spent.) The two main reasons WIC recipients cite for not redeeming their coupons are scheduling con- flicts and lack of transporta- tion to the markets.

The new prescription drug plan known as Medicare Part D took effect Jan. 1, ending the 40-year reign of the Medicaid program, which was created to benefit seniors over 65 with low incomes. This is the most significant change in the program since its creation 40 years ago. Part D offers insurance cov- erage for many prescription drugs through plans provided by private companies that have been approved by Medicare. Currently, there are 47 pri- vate companies in Florida that offer prescription drug cover- age through Part D, according to Michele Richard, a pharma- cist at Moulton's Pharmacy. She has first-hand experience of people's frustrations with the new, plan. However, though she agrees that the program got off to a rough start, she believes that the initial birth pangs will subside and the program will prove to be ben- eficial for most seniors. "I'Tve been impressed," she says, when asked if she thought the problems were small, considering the size of the federal program. "There have been a lot of problems as far as people not receiving cards yet, but it's all things that we've been able to deal with." The problems with the new system vary, but Richard says that the people who have been affected the most by the change are the "dual eligi- bles." "There's just so many lev- els and facets to the confu- sion," she says with a laugh of bewilderment. "But I think the people who are most confused are the dual eligibles, the peo- ple who have Medicare and Medicaid. "Most people who have been put on it were people TREE, from page 1 the. building, with2,the local artifacts.

"Now they're paying $2 or $5 for their prescriptions; of course they're not going to have a positive attitude about it." Some dual eligibles' pre- scriptions are not being filled. "Dual eligibles are finding problems within the formula- ry," she says. The formulary is the list of drugs covered within a com- pany's plan. Typically, most formularies have three tiers; in each tier the co-pay increases. Tier one is designated for generic drugs; tier two is typically a compa- ny's preferred drug; and tier three drugs are more expen- sive, non-preferred drugs. For example, AARP's tier one's co-pay is $5 for a pre- scription; tier two is $28; and tier three is $56. "There are a lot of dual eli- gibles who apparently thought that it wasn't going to happen or that it didn't really mater and now we're trying to fill, their prescriptions and we can't," Richard says. "D" as in "Difficult" On Wednesday, the Senior Circle group at the North Okaloosa Medical Center held a "Medicare Q and A" session for its members. About 28 people came and expressed their concerns and confusion over the changes.

Its purpose is to educate volunteers, who in turn educate the public about the Medicare changes. Geiser, who is the area coordinator for Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton Counties, says that he and the 15 other volunteers for the four-county area have been overwhelmed. Okaloosa county has four volunteers, including Geiser, who lives in Niceville. "We've been extremely busy," he says with a sigh. "We have been inundated. I've got calls now that are waiting to be made." Initially, SHINE was creat- ed so seniors could call and make an appointment with a representative. "Most of the seniors just don't understand it," Geiser says. "It's too voluminous, there's too many choices. That's what we're trying to do, straighten them out and give them guidance." Richard doesn't know any- one who. has met with a SHINE volunteer. "I gave SHINE's number to people," she says. "Everyone has come back to me and said that they left their informa- tion, and then days or even weeks later they got a call back saying that someone would call and schedule a time to meet with them. No one that I know actually had someone come to theip home." Birth pains Fred Jordan is a Crestview resident with a unique Medicare concern. He is trying to decide if his that McMahon, hopes to. see blossom between now and next summer, when the but- terfly bushes will be in full mother, Pauline Jordan, 87, currently has "creditable cov- erage," or coverage that is the equivalent to Medicare. Jordan's father was employed with Civil Service. When he retired he was able to maintain his Blue Cross Blue Shield supplemental insur- ance policy that now covers his wife's medications. "If you currently have cred- itable coverage you don't have to change to any other pro- grams," Jordan explains. He has been to several seminars that pertain to the changes. "If you already have cred- itable coverage you can stay with your current provider and not suffer the penalty, and if at a later date you drop that coverage you can sign up with one of the other companies without having to pay any penalties." Like many others with varying situations, Jordan is in a wait and see pattern. "Her actual out of pocket costs are currently minimal," he says. "It's cheaper than if I put her on another program. I'm going to see what happens between now and May 15. Things will come to the sur- face that we don't know about right now." Problems were anticipated, Richard says. She thinks that the program will eventually come around and the initial frustrations will subside. "The last update I saw is that there were 5.5 million people added to the new pre- scription drug plan," she says. "You can't put five and a half million people into anything and it be smooth. There's gonna be problems." bloom. . "We want to put in a but- terfly park," he says. "We have room to do it, so it would be great to be able to expand on what the scouts already started." This past winter one year ago, the city purchased the land from the state. The park is now under the city's umbrella of the Division of Leisure Services. The city paid the state. $67,000 for a total of five acres, two buildings, a ware- house space and the old fire tower that stretches high above the treetops of even the tallest, oldest trees in the park. "I love nature," McMahon says. "A lot of people don't know that we're out here, but we are, and we've got a lot of things to offer the com- munity." 0 Community EVENTS CELEBRATION PLANNING SESSION: On Jan. 12 at 6 p.m. a meet- ing to organize the City of Crestview's 90th anniversary will be held in the City Hall Council chambers on Wilson Street.

According to Ken Hair, Executive Director, CIC, "This is a milestone for our organization and a tangible message that we're making progress in our mission to provide homes and establish hope for our children in cri- sis." Temporary use of the spa- cious office building is being donated. The new sign was courtesy Ron and Debbie Culbreth, SigriLink Communications. The new CIC office will be the temporary headquarters until the Children's Neighborhood is built in 2006. The Neighborhood will include four group homes, a children's emer- gency shelter, a recreation building and a neighborhood center for support services for community children. The CIC is a non-profit, charitable organization made up of caring people working hard to secure a solution to the instability experienced by the children in Okaloosa and Walton Counties. Today in Okaloosa and Walton Counties, there is a critical shortage of foster homes. This shortage has lead to the frequent separa- tion of siblings and the fre- quent moving of abused and neglected children from one home to another, even out- side local counties. The CIC board and advi- sors include staff specialist from the Department of Children and Families, foster parents, former foster chil- dren, community profession- als and civic leaders. This is a community problem that needs to be solved by the community, according to Hair. More than 200 Emerald Coast trendsetters and Children In Crisis, Inc. (CIC) supporters turned out to see Fifth Avenue Style on the Emerald Coast at Off 5th Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet in Silver Sands Factory Stores recently. The Fashion Show Gala was a great success thanks to the event chairper- son and coordinator, Brenda Seffens and her army of vol- unteers and corporate spon- sors. The very stylish and enjoyable event raised more than $7,000 for CIC. Ken Hair, Executive Director, CIC, commented, "Thanks to Brenda and all the hard work of her team of volunteers, the evening was an event to remember! Thanks also to all the business sponsors and donors who made the show an unequaled success in every respect." The Fashion Show Gala was presented by Avantgarde AVEDA Concept Salon. It was sponsored by Off 5th, Saks Fifth Outlet and Silver Sands Factory Stores. Every effort was made to give the attendees a wonder- ful evening.

The very question itself would border on blasphemy, if I did not ask it to point to a truth that glorifies our loving and almighty God. It is a ques- tion that is on the mind of many people today, espe- cially the friends and rela- tives of twelve who died this week in a West Virginia mine. One rela- tive, after the jubilation of the good news turned to horror and grief when the bad news came, said, "We are Christian people, but I am wondering if there even is a God." Of course, people who are in grieving or in shock sometimes say wild and crazy things. Most of us can make allowances for such sentiments at such a time, but they are usually thought, not said before a national or even international audience. I am k-troubled by the AMMITD preface, "We are Christian peo- ple..." In a twist to what our mothers taught us, "If you can't say anything good about God, don't say anything at all." And I might add, for Christians, "Lay down until the feel- ing passes, and it will, as God the Holy Spirit minis- ters to your grieving soul." Sometimes people do act and speak as if God were guilty of negligent homi- cide-just allowing some- one to die, while he could have been rescued and saved. Hidden in this thought or statement is the idea that God just doesn't care, or that He is just not in the mood to save any- body. One man even argued in a book, When Bad Things Happen to Good People, that God is supposed to be all-loving and all-powerful, but, if Dr. Spencer at Central Baptist Church Author, pastor, interna- tional evangelist, crusade preacher, singer, church planter, pastor's encourager: that's Dr. Jerry Spencer, and he will be speaking and singing at Central Baptist Church in Crestview, this coming Sunday, Jan. 15, at 6 p.m. Dr. Spencer was raised in Arkansas, where he was a 4 year all-star in baseball, box- ing, track and field and foot- ball.

His choice was that God was all-loving, but not all- powerful-powerful, but not all powerful. The author lost me as soon as I read that. I didn't want my mind taken up with that false doctrine, that insult to the character of God. I closed the book in the first chapter and even threw it in the trashcan, not wanting any other, maybe less discerning, per- son to read it and be tempted with that evil premise. One may say that a per- son who is in grief does not need to hear doctrine. That it would be an inap- propriate time. I beg to differ. It is the very time one most definitely needs Bible doctrinet-f.is-the very time that we iieed to have the truth of God rein- forced in our minds. It is the Devil's most active time. He doesn't have to shout to us; all he has to do is whisper. He whispers, "Isn't God supposed to love you? Where was God, when you needed Him? Where is God now? Is there really a God?" A strong Voice, though, will, at the same time, be reminding you of Bible truth. One may hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, if he or she is listening: "We have not an high priest (speaking of Jesus) who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmi- ties..." (Heb 4:15a) Now, I am not writing to people in West Virginia. I am writing to you. A sad or tragic thing will, if it has not already, happen to you and to me. I don't want to run from God at that time, and I sure don't want to accuse Him of negligent homicide. No, I want, in that day, to be his little, hurt boy, who runs to Him and cries and allows Him to hug and hold me close. This is the experience that all those precious folks in West Virginia need right now. One man, inter- viewed during the time when all thought the min- ers had been found alive, in his rejoicing said, "God is good," but then he added, "but He would still be good, if they had all been found dead." Spoken like a Christian who knows his Bible! Mark D.

The Gator seniors say they :hyv kM AArgl g'froi4just ge -ttig' stn'og'erAll thei'WA to having a presence at the FHSAA state meet. They say they already notice their progress in the weight room carrying over to other activities. "I thought it would help me be in better shape when softball season rolled around," said senior Britney Summerlin, who practices with the team but cannot compete in meets because of an injury. "I am faster (pitching speed) than I was when I first started last year when I was- n't lifting weights, so that helped me." HOME, from page 12 points. "He expects a lot out of me, and I just hadn't been doing it lately. I just went out there and got mad and start- ed playing well. "Getting mad is the key. That is what (Humphrey) tells me." Hayes got loose for 13 of his 17 points in the third quar- ter as CHS put the game away. Hayes scored 11 of the Dawgs' first 15 points in the period, running the floor for layups and draining a 3-pointer. Crestview's efforts in the third quarter pushed a 30-19 half- time lead to a 58-29 cushion. "We were able to get out and run a bit and get some easy baskets and fast break points," Hayes said. "We can do a lot of things if we keep getting better." Crestview hopes home court advantage propels it to a successful final month of the season. Baker coach Mike Martello hopes tough road games like Thursday help his young team get ready for the postseason. "When we play Crestvifw it's a fun rivalry," Scud Martello, whose team fell -to' 1-9. "When we step into our district tournament, it's.: the same type of environment we're going to see. I think this gets them ready." * The Gators should get a boost with the expected return of Blake Williams, a junior frontliner. Williams averaged 19.2 points in 11 games as a sophomore last season. Blake Pryor led Baker on Thursday with nine points. Sports Briefs ANNOUNCEMENTS LITTLE LEAGUE: Crestview Little League has announced its registra- tion dates for the 2006 season.

Baker girls getting a lift - Weightlifting individual first place finishes against the Titans. "I couldn't have expected it to go any better," Baker coach David Oglesby said. "They are working hard and gaining confidence, and con- fidence is the biggest thing. The big eyes I saw in the first meet are gone." Oglesby initially won- dered how he would fill his roster when he agreed to coach Baker's first girls weightlifting team this win- ter. Oglesby didn't know if he could find enough girls for another winter varsity sport School starts weightlifting team Kyle Wright News Bulletin Sports Editor BAKER With every pump of the iron, 18 girls at Baker School build the foun- dation for the school's newest athletic program. Baker's inaugural girls weightlifting season started last week with meets at Choctawhatchee on Tuesday and at home against Woodham on Thursday. The Gators came up short in the team standings in both meets, but took home three CHS knocks off Choctaw, Baker Kyle Wright News Bulletin Sports Editor Crestview's boys basketball play- ers almost forgot how they looked in their home uniforms. The Bulldogs played nine of their first 12 games on the road, including a stretch of 26 days without a home game starting Dec. 8. "It seemed like forever," senior guard Trey Hayes said. "We were never here. We never put on the white jerseys." The Dawgs returned to their home court this week and started a stretch of eight homes games in their last 13 regular season contests with a pair of impressive victories. Crestview knocked off District 1- 5A leader Choctawhatchee 56-49 on Tuesday. The Bulldogs (6-8, 1-4) showed no signs of a letdown two nights later in a 76-33 win against Baker. "For some reason, we shoot better here, the kids run the floor a bit bet- ter here, and we get good crowds," CHS coach Brian Humphrey said. "The kids have looked at the sched- ule and talked about it, and they do like playing at home." Top seed .. _ Ken Nielsen/The News Bulletin Baker junior Kendria Young goes up for a shot dur- ing the Gator girls basketball team's home game Thursday against Freeport.
