After much anticipation, Tiger Point will inally cut the ribbon of its newly constructed Community Center on Monday, December 2. Many meetings, many design plans, and many considerations were part of the process; but the completed building will be oficially open to the public, a multipurpose facility whose overall concept was to serve in an oficial capacity as well as a hosting space for recreational events.

As planning moved from blueprint to execution, “We had to be very conscientious with the budget,” says Mike Werner, principal of design at STOA Architects, the Pensacola-based architectural irm who ultimately helmed the facility’s construction. As with any civic project, there were many entities and many priorities to consider––but, in Werner’s estimation, the key players all worked well together; and the resulting Community Center is one project he’s very proud to have been a part of. Working alongside the Tiger Point Sports Association and the Santa Rosa Board of County Commissioners, STOA put forth designs that implemented solutions to meet both

It was an ongoing battle that seemed to have no end in sight.

But the light at the end of the tunnel was made clear recently, giving residents in the Crane Cove subdivision a sigh of relief just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Moulton Properties inally cleaned up the grafiti and rubble located on their property at the 800 block of Highway 98, which had been a scene of controversy for years, both with the county and neighboring subdivisions.

For years, residents around the dilapidated building had complained about rats infesting their homes and property. They claimed the rats were coming from piles of rubble located behind the empty building, formerly a Delchamps Grocery Store that closed after Hurricane Ivan and Dennis in 2004.

Randy Jones, a county code enforcement oficer originally opened the county code violation case back in July. For years, residents had been calling the county sheriff’s ofice and complaining about grafiti on the building and about a rat infestation

Man gets 14 years for crime

TPCC set to open Monday

Giving thanks

A Navarre man was sentenced to 14 years in state prison after he was found guilty of a handful of charges stemming from an incident that oc-curred in January.

State Attorney Bill Eddins an-nounced last week that Dominic J. Turner entered a plea on November 15 to Aggravated Battery on a Law Enforcement Oficer, Aggravated As-sault on a Law Enforcement Ofice,

Fleeing or At-tempting to Elude, Felony Battery, Battery on a Law Enforcement Of-icer, Resisting an Oficer with Violence, Leav-ing the Scene of a Crash with In-

juries, Reckless Driving, Tampering with a Witness, Resisting an Oficer Without Violence and Assault. Fol-lowing Turner’s plea, Circuit Judge David Rimmer sentenced the local to his prison time.

The charges placed on Turner stemmed from a disturbance that hap-pened the night of January 24, 2013. That night, Turner led Santa Rosa

Delchamps gets a facelift

Tuesday, November 12

At the 700 block of Gulf Breeze Parkway, there was a re-ported discovery of an Alabama tag in an abandoned vehicle.

Saturday, November 16

At the 50 block of Gulf Breeze Parkway there was an arrest was made for an expired driver’s license.

Sunday, November 17

At 4:30 a.m., at the 100 block of Camellia Street, a vehicle

was pulled over for suspicion of DUI.

The driver, 47-year-old Brad Garret of Gulf Breeze was ar-rested for DUI.

His passenger, Joshua Lutz, 22, also of Gulf Breeze, was arrested for possession of mari-juana.

Also on November 17, at the 50 block of Gulf Breeze Park-way, a fraudulent use of a credit card report was taken. The inci-dent is still under investigation.

Some parents in Santa Rosa County are concerned about the Federal Government’s new Common Core standards for schools to be incorporated in 2014. One dad stood up at the Santa Rosa County School Board meeting recently and complained that he is very concerned about the federal government reaching into one more area of people’s lives, and wanted some assurances that Common Core would not thrust upon this county’s students some secular or “ultra-liberal” philosophies that he had heard come with the program. As-sistant Superintendent of Cur-riculum Bill Emerson told Gulf breeze News that Santa Rosa County will follow Common Core standards as required by Federal law, but the way it is im-plemented will be with a “Santa Rosa County approach”.

Emerson said Common Core standards are supposed to make sure all schools in the country – from the smallest ru-ral school to the largest urban

and suburban school, offer the same level of education in the United States. “We have had the Sunshine State standards, then we went to a more dificult New Generation Sunshine State standard,” Emerson explained. “Common Core is someplace in the middle. Common Core will demand more of the student in many ways, since in the past Florida had a lot of multiple choice in testing, and a few es-says. But with Common Core the testing is more essay writ-ing, and trying to get students to express themselves more and give reasons why they believe the way they do on any topic. They are required to defend their opinions, with evidence when possible.”

He said in some areas Com-mon Core will be more rigor-ous. “Florida has adopted the Common Core standards, but has had a lot of input in de-veloping the standards for this state,” Emerson said. “We here in this county are trying to fo-cus on standards that are more about what students do – we are talking effective teaching strategies. That is what we are mostly stressing.”

He said the district imple-mented the kindergarten through second grade Com-mon Core standards already, and is in its second year of us-ing them. “Math at the Primary School level is different from what parents have seen before. Algebra principles are being in-troduced at an earlier age. That is one change,” Emerson said. “The third grade through 12th grade standards have to be im-plemented by next school year – starting August 2014. At that time FCAT will be gone, except for the 5th grade abd 8th grade science tests.”

Emerson said there will be new standards coming from Tallahassee next school year, but the districts in the state just don’t know what exactly they will look like. “This is a con-fusing, complicated time for

everyone – students, teachers and deinitely those of us who are to implement all the new standards. We are implement-ing the new standards while still testing under the old stan-dards.”

He said also graduation re-quirements keep changing, so each class right now in high school will have a different set of graduation requirements of-ten than the last. “We can im-plement many of these chang-es, but it is not something that can be completely done in one, two, or even three years,” Em-erson said. “It all requires big changes in testing and in some cases teaching. But we will use Santa Rosa County values and standards to implement the Common Core. We will not be ‘following any script’ in how we teach it.”

This is a confusing, complicated time for everyone — students, teachers and deinitely those of us who are to imple-

ment all the new standards. – Bill Emerson

Man led deputies on high speed chase

County Sheriff deputies on a chase through Santa Rosa County.

The incident began when officers were called to a do-mestic disturbance at Turner’s home in Navarre earlier that evening.

Turner left the residence before deputies arrived, and deputies were asked to look for Turner after receiving a vehicle description.

Turner was later located on Highway 90 in Pace, but as the deputy attempted to stop him, Turner fled from deputies.

During the high speed

chase, Turner drove into the oncoming lanes of traffic as he tried to avoid the pursuit. Sergeant Randy Counts placed spike strips in the road to dis-able Turner’s car; however, Turner drove off the highway and struck Counts with his car.

During the pursuit, Turner

attempted to strike several patrol cars and ultimately rammed a deputy’s vehicle during the pursuit.

The deputies were finally able to arrest Turner following a brief struggle.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant State Attorney Am-ber Rowland.

Someone stole a decal from a vehicle tag at the 1100 block of Gulf Breeze Parkway. A petty theft report was taken.

Thursday, November 21

On Hoffman Drive, a report was taken of a weapons offense. A parent had a legal irearm, and his/her child borrowed the gun, and it was discovered by police. No arrests were made.

Pen Air Federal Credit Union has once again partnered with the United States Marine Corps to help make the Christmas holidays a little brighter for less-fortunate children throughout the community by holding a branch-wide Toys for Tots drive.

All 15 Pen Air FCU branch locations will serve as drop-off sites for new, un-wrapped toy donations beneitting the Toys for Tots Foundation.

Pen Air FCU invites members of our community to play an active role in the development of one of our nation’s most valuable

resources – our children, by donating new, un-wrapped toys by Wednesday, December 4, 2013. The toys will then be distributed to children throughout the community.

“We are pleased to support this annual holiday toy drive. The donations made by our members and employees will make this a very merry Christmas for local families in need,” said Pen Air FCU president and CEO, Stewart Ramsey.

in their neighborhood. Neighbors claimed the rats were coming from rubble stored behind the rotting property, but county code enforcement had their hands tied. Because the building was secure and no one was allowed in it, the county could not ind a violation to help cease the rat problem. That was until Jones stepped into the picture.

Jim Moulton, who owns Moulton Properties and the location, agreed to store old construction material and concrete behind the building when crews built a road behind the dilapidated building. In July, Jones found Moulton was in violation of the litter law, a code violation that stated a commercial property owner could not store rubble on their property.

Jones invited Moulton to his ofice at the end of July, and the owner agreed to clean up the construction material and paint the building. He also agreed to close up any openings in the building. Moulton agreed to inish the task in 60 days, but was given several extensions.

At the beginning of October, Moulton was sent a warning violation letter giving him 30 days to clear up the mess. The property owner originally hired a contracting company to clean up the rubble. The contracting company, McDirt, recycled rubble and concrete for free.

Since they worked for free, they worked on the Moulton site on the side, and only when they had the manpower. Because they were only able to work on cleaning the property at certain times, they were not able to clean up the property in the deadline agreed to by Moulton and the

county originally in July. Jones conirmed with Gulf

Breeze News on November 19 that the case had been closed.

“He did everything that we asked, and he agreed to do,” Jones said.

The building has been vacant since 2004 when hurricanes tore apart the building. Moulton is still waiting on an insurance claim for the building, almost ten years after he made the claim. Since the claim is still in litigation, he cannot tear the building down. Jones said that even though there is nothing the county can do about the building since no one is allowed in it, he said that they will continue to watch the site so

it continues to stay clean. “We closed the case at this

time. We are going to continue to monitor condition of the building from time to time,” Jones said.

public and oficial needs, tying the concepts together with a space speciically built to service the citizens of South Santa Rosa County and bring them a deeper involvement with community concerns. The new Community Center will provide meeting rooms itted with high-tech A/V equipment capable of streaming live meetings and hosting web-casts, and future County Commissioners meetings and public hearings will inally have a dedicated space in the south end of the county, which will, in turn, mean the inclusion of the citizenry of the south end––those from areas such as Navarre, Tiger Point, and Gulf Breeze.

As the $1.2 million project w a s completed, “ W e prioritized what was d e s i r a b l e for the community, to meet their needs

and the county’s needs; and then we [addressed] those needs so that we could achieve them...as we hit our budget limitations.” With such closely-minded considerations, the Community Center stayed on-budget, rarely

meeting with any complications that hampered its progress. Notes Mike Schmidt of Santa Rosa County’s engineering department, “Other than things you can’t control like an extremely wet summer, the construction went extremely well. The contractor did an excellent job, and I think the community is going to love it.”

In addition to the aforementioned meeting space, the Center’s 5,000 square feet includes a food prep kitchen, covered porticoes, multipurpose areas for hosting events, and ofice space for employees of the Tiger Point Sports Association. More than 10,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space comprises the complex, with newly built concession areas and restrooms to accommodate players and spectators at Tiger Point Park’s various sports

ields. “I think it looks great,” says County Commissioner Lane Lynchard of the new facility. “It’s irst class. It’s a functional building, but there are still enough architectural elements so that it really does serve as a focal point for Tiger Point Park,” he continues. “The new concession area and restrooms have been well received since they opened this fall, and I’m really excited about getting the [rest of the] project completed.”

Lynchard is not alone in his effusiveness. Says Werner, “I think it’s great. It’s been a long time coming for the South end, and we’re fortunate to have a County Commission who are willing to have a vision of what we need in the future,” he says appreciatively. “The design of the building is great. It’s very functional and simple in its beauty. It’s not anything

over-the-top, and it’s a very safe structure.” Obviously, the elements that went into the overall plan for the Community Center were well-received, as it received awards even in the design stage from the BIA on a local level. “Hopefully now that it’s constructed, we’ll be able to achieve a new award for its construction,” Werner says.

As the Tiger Point community celebrates the opening of their new facility with festivities including refreshments from Shane’s Rib Shack and musical performances by the children of

B.E.T.A. Theatre of Northwest Florida, they’ll also be coming together to celebrate a new future together where they can grow in community and in sportsmanship.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Tiger Point Community Center will be located at 1370 Tiger Park Lane in Gulf Breeze, Monday, December 2, at 6 p.m.

The County’s irst oficial meeting in the Community Center is scheduled for Monday, December 9th, as the Santa Rosa County RESTORE Council holds a planning meeting.

Jazz Society of Pensacola presents Jingle Jazz on Mon-day, December 2, at Phineas Phogg’s in Seville Quarter, 130 E. Government Street, downtown Pensacola. Music begins at 6:30 p.m. and doors will open at 5:30 p.m. Admis-sion is free. Donations toward presenting JazzFest 2014 are gladly accepted!

JSOP’s annual holiday gift to the community to help get in the holiday spirit, with great seasonal songs in a jazzy style. Led by trumpeter and vocalist Paul Bruketa, the group will consist of a number of area musicians, who donate their time for this event, in-cluding: Burt Kimberl (piano), Walt Kattner (guitar), Randy Sherwood (tenor sax), Char-lie Dickens (drums) and Bob Andrews (bass). Also featured are vocalists Rosie Butler and Crystal Joy Albert.

Get there early, always fun and always a full house! (There will not be a Jazz Jam or Jazz Gumbo in December).

Gulf Breeze Hospital Auxiliary

There are big doings going on for the Gulf Breeze Hospi-tal Auxiliary. First, the GBHA is sponsoring a fundraiser that features food products made by a company called Wildtree. This event will be held at the Gulf Breeze Hospital campus in the Human Resources Building, directly behind the hospital.

The sale is Wednesday De-cember 4, from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Thursday December 5, from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Wildtree has over 200 food products such as quality herbs, spices, and culinary blends that are free of preservatives, addi-tives, and fi llers as well as pro-mote a healthier lifestyle. The

company believes in the value of making cooking a quicker, easier, more healthful project for those who are short on time, and a fun, interesting adventure for those who wish to be more creative in the kitchen.

For more information contact Wendy Brandon at [email protected] or [email protected].

Next The Gulf Breeze Hospi-tal Auxiliary’s “Tree of Lights” (TOL) Lighting Ceremony will take place on Thursday, Decem-ber 5 at 5:30 p.m. at the Main Entrance of the hospital around the fl ag pole with a reception to follow event.

This annual event during this holiday season has a two-fold purpose: The fi rst purpose is to give the community the oppor-tunity to refl ect on, and honor the memory of someone dear to them or an organization, or to honor the life of a living volun-teer, family member or friend.

The event is held to “remem-ber” someone with a donation.

Application forms can be picked up at the hospital Gift Shop, Front Desk, Outpatient Services desk, or ER Desk or from any auxiliary member

The event is also held to fund $1,000 scholarships for students to further their education in a medical/medical related fi eld of study.

During this past year, fi ve scholarships have been award-ed to students who are attend-ing several different schools. GBHA asks that organization and individuals consider mak-ing a signifi cant donation to the TOL fund, knowing that it provides scholarships to de-serving students who may one day provide health care in our community.

Organizations are invited to present a check during the ceremony so that other attend-ees can recognize the organiza-tion’s participation. Contact Jan

Peterson, Chair of this function at [email protected] if you plan to present a check during the event.

Wendy Brandon, President-Elect, GBHA says, “The Auxil-iary is a very important “arm” of Gulf Breeze Hospital and we are here to help in any way pos-sible.”

for Gulf Power and Board Chair for YMCA of Northwest Florida. William’s speech was inspiring; he reminded the group that the small things that people do each day for others is ordinary philanthro-py.

He discussed the DNA of Phi-lanthropy; the desire, the need and the actual doing. Williams said, “Ordinary philanthropy is the $25 you donate here; the $50 you donate there; the many acts that won’t be recognized except to the person who is receiving these donations.”

Following the program it was time to give the awards. Sandy Sims gave the Awards Introductory Remarks.

Sims is Manager for Com-munity Development for Gulf Power Awards Presentation, The Outstanding Philanthro-pist for 2013 is Pamela Bow-en Schwartz. Schwartz gave a moving talk outlining the events that brought her to be-come an outstanding philan-thropist.

The Outstanding Philan-thropic Organization is the Pensacola Heritage Founda-tion. Jim Green accepted this award for the Foundation and related the many goals that have been accomplished by the foundation and named some of the Foundation’s goals for the future.

Sheila Reed gave the Clos-ing Remarks. She reminded the group that The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) works to advance phi-lanthropy through advocacy, research, education and certi-fication programs.

St. Christopher’s 57th Christmas Caravan

Preparations are already un-derway for St. Christopher’s 57th Christmas Caravan pre-sentation on Friday Decem-ber 6 at 3200 N. 12th Avenue, Church Parish Hall.

Holiday Home tours will include Luncheon and a Gala Celebration with musical en-tertainment. This event is the church’s major fundraiser for the year.

Last year’s Caravan af-forded donations of $30,000 to various area charities.

Pat Fogg, chair of the event said, “The theme of this year’s celebration is: Sharing Christ-mas Joy and Peace.

The committee is excited about our offering to our members and to the interested public. There will be holi-

day home tours, a bake sale, a crafts bazaar, a silent auction and a Christmas luncheon as usual.

A new event this year will be a Gala Celebration and continuation of the silent auc-tion with live musical enter-tainment on Friday evening. Reservations will be required only for the Gala Celebra-tion.”

Doors open at St. Chris-topher’s at 10 a.m. for bake sale, silent auction and crafts bazaar. Luncheon is served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The silent auction will re-open at 6:30 p.m. and the gala celebration is from 7 to 10 p.m. with heavy hors d’oeuvres and musical entertainment by Dr. Breeze group featuring guitar-ist Wilk McKean and vocalist Jennifer Delgallo.

Ticket prices are as follows: Home tours $10; Luncheon $10 and Gala celebration $25. Tickets will be available in November from St. Christo-pher’s Church or from com-mittee members.

For additional informa-tion, call Pat Fogg 479-9962 or [email protected], St. Christopher’s Church 433-0074 or www.scpen.org.

Fogg continued, “Three homes have been selected for tour. The homes will be deco-rated appropriately for the Christmas Season and open to ticket holders from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, December

6. Tickets may be purchased from St. Christopher’s Church Office or at any of the homes during the home tour.”

Hal and Kate Major, Bob and Pat Leidner and Dr. Greg and Tara Woodfin have gra-ciously consented to show their beautiful homes on the tour. The Major and Leidner homes are both in East Hill and the Woodfin home is just across the Bayou in East Pen-sacola Heights overlooking Pensacola Bay.l The Leidner home, built

in 1997, (617 N. 19th Ave) has an antique mantel from the 1800s. The family installed old stained glass in several areas of the house. Some ma-hogany pieces came from the Fricker Mahogany Company. Bob’s uncle, Frank Fricker, was one of the founders of the company, which existed many years in Pensacola. Pat en-joys shopping at small stores and flea-markets and some of the eclectic decorations came from those sources.l The Woodfin home (225

Chipley Ave.) was completed in December 2000. The fam-ily worked with the designers to make it consistent with the look of older houses. There are hardwood floors through-out. The ceiling has reclaimed exposed beams. The home has approximately 9,000 square feet with six full bath bathrooms and two half-bath-rooms. Per Tara Woodfin, the home was built with a large growing family in mind.l The Major home (2467

Magnolia Ave) was built in 1940 and was purchased by the Majors in 1992. After two complete ‘remodeling’s’, the

home fits their family very well, for four daughters, two dogs and seven cats. Kate Major likes to decorate with traditional green, red, silver and gold. Ornaments which

have been collected over the years decorate the tree. For more information, contact Norman Vickers at 484-9183 or Pat Fogg at 479-9962.

The story of the Pilgrims began in the seventeenth century. The Church of England under King James I was persecuting anyone who believed strongly in freedom of worship. This persecution re-sulted in a group of separatists leeing to Holland where they established a community. After eleven years, about forty of these separatist, sponsored by merchants in London, decided to journey to the New World. They knew they would face hardships, but would be able to live and worship God ac-cording to the dictates of their own consciences.

The original contract that the Pilgrims had with their merchant-sponsors in London called for ev-erything they produced to go into a common store and each member of the community was entitled to one common share. All of the land they cleared and the houses they built belong to the community as well.

On August 1, 1620, the May-lower set sail. It carried a total of 102 passengers, including forty Pilgrims led by William Bradford. On the journey, Bradford set up an agreement, a contract that estab-lished just and equal laws for all members of the new community regardless of their religious beliefs. These revolutionary ideas were

called the Maylower Compact.Bradford’s detailed journal re-

lated that the Pilgrims landed in New England in November and found a cold, barren, desolate wil-derness. They made a great sacri-ice for freedom; half the Pilgrims, including Bradford’s wife, died of starvation, sickness or exposure during the irst winter. In the Spring Indians taught the settlers how to plant corn, ish for cod and skin beavers for coats. Life improved for the Pilgrims, but they did not yet prosper.

Bradford and his community recognized that the form of col-lectivism they had agreed to did not work. The reason they did not prosper was that the most cre-ative and industrious people had no incentive to work any harder than anyone else. Bradford wrote, “For this community was found to breed much confusion and discon-tent, and retard much employment that would have been to their ben-

eit and comfort. For young men did not feel that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children without any recompense.”

Bradford took bold action and assigned a plot of land to each family to work and manage, thus turning loose the power of person-al motivation in the marketplace. They could grow as much, they could sell it for what they could get for it, and the incentive was clear to do as much as possible on both sides. “This had very good suc-cess,’ wrote Bradford, ‘for it made all hands industrious, so as much more corn was planted than other-wise would have been.’

The Pilgrims found they had more food than they could eat themselves so they set up trading posts and exchanged goods with the Indians. The proits allowed them to pay off their debts to the merchants in London. And the suc-cess and prosperity of the Plym-

outh settlement attracted more Europeans and began what came to be known as the ‘Great Puritan Migration.’

The irst Thanksgiving was about thanking God for bounty, freedom, opportunity and bless-ings. There was cooperation with the Indians and the Indians did extend the handshake of freedom to the pilgrims when they arrived in the New World. The Indians did indeed teach them to farm but the settlers themselves created the bounty that was shared with the In-dians on that day because they had learned the best way to live.

Therefore the irst celebration, later to be called Thanksgiving, was about the Pilgrims realizing the best way to enjoy prosperity in a new world. William Bradford himself saw that the assignment of plots of land to each family to work and manage turned loose the power of personal motivation in the marketplace which caused them to not only to make a living but to prosper in the new world. That personal motivation was later known as Capitalism.

And the true reason for the irst Thanksgiving celebration was that the pilgrims had not only found a way to live; they had found a way to prosper.

The story behind Thanksgiving

On the surface the construction of a marine ish hatchery sounds like the logical solution for boost-ing our local sport ish popula-tions.

However, marine ish hatcher-ies have been around in Florida and Texas for over 23 years and released millions upon millions of redish and speckled trout without real evidence of population in-creases.

The notion that marine ish hatcheries were the answer for boosting ish populations remained a myth until recent years. When salmon populations continued to decline in spite of increased hatch-ery efforts, critical examination be-gan. The advance in technology us-ing genetic markers to distinguish hatchery-bred ish from wild ish allowed researchers to develop an understanding of the effects hatch-eries have on wild populations.

Studies showed hatchery-bred salmon were genetically impaired, causing poor itness. Hatchery-re-leased ish had far fewer offspring than wild ones. Even if ish born in the wild survived to reproduce, those with hatchery parents were so impaired that only 37% had repro-

ductive itness. Note: strict breed-ing protocols can be a mitigating factor in limiting genetic effects, but doesn’t eliminate them.

Hatchery-bred ish had traits in-cluding, more aggressive behavior and early maturity, that allowed them to out compete wild ish for food and habitat. Note: hatchery-bred ish reported in population surveys likely represent wild ish displacement due to competition by hatchery-bred ish. In spite of stud-ies, optimism for marine hatchery development has continued.

Whether its redish, speckled trout or red snapper, there’s futility in releasing 5 million ish per year (Pensacola hatchery production plan) when there are literally thou-sands of sexually mature adults in the wild releasing millions of eggs per year. For example, a redish produces 20-40 million eggs per

year and has multiple spawns of 2-3 million eggs. Obviously, the re-lease of 5 million ish would have a negligible effect. Reproduction and recruitment are not the problem.

The problem is the limited car-rying capacity or the maximum ish population density the environment can sustain. Releasing sheer num-bers of ish can’t compensate for degraded water quality and limited habitat. Focus and efforts should be directed at water quality and habi-tat restoration. This is illustrated by a simple anecdotal account.

In the mid 1960s my father had a marine specimens business. I re-call seining at Shoreline Park, Gulf Breeze. The seagrasses teemed with a diversity of organisms typi-cal of healthy seagrass communi-ties. We collected as many as 150 cowish in an approximate 40-foot sweep with a seine. Today one

could seine from Shoreline Park to Navarre and probably be lucky to catch one cowish. What’s the signiicance? Cowish aren’t ex-ploited or captured for any use. This suggests their scarcity is due to water quality degradation and/or habitat loss.

Pensacola Bay is one of the most polluted bays in the state. The Pensacola Bay system has lost 90 - 95% of its historic seagrasses. 70% of our marine ish species, includ-ing redish and speckled trout, de-pend on seagrasses as part of their life cycle and survival.

The State of Florida’s plan for using BP oil spill Natural Resource Damage Assessment funds dictates that the funds be spent to mitigate for lost recreational ishing op-portunities. Of the Florida coastal waters, Pensacola area waters were the most affected by the spill and deserve the entire $20 million in-tended for the hatchery’s construc-tion be spent instead restoring their water quality, seagrasses and other ish habitats.

This season, holiday shop-pers in Greater Pensacola area including Escambia and Santa Rosa counties can give cheer to area seniors by participating in the Be a Santa to a Senior pro-gram.

The program – run by the lo-cal Home Instead Senior Care of-ice in partnership with Southern Oaks, Rosewood Manor, Coun-cil on Aging, Northwest Florida Area Agency on Aging, Pen-sacola Health Care, Consulate Health, University Hills, Baptist Manor, Bayside Manor, Sandy Ridge Care Center, Santa Rosa Health and Rehab, Health Care Center of Pensacola, The Haven

and Bay Breeze, area Walmart stores, volunteers and members of the community – helps ensure isolated seniors receive gifts and companionship during the holi-days. This can be a dificult time for many, especially those who live alone or have lost spouses and loved ones.

An estimated 27 percent of people 65 and older (10.8 mil-lion people) are widowed, ac-cording to the U.S. Census Bureau. Further, the Administra-tion on Aging reports about 28 percent (11.8 million) non-insti-tutionalized people 65 and older live alone.

Retailers participating in Be

a Santa to a Senior will display Christmas trees from Nov. 6 to Dec. 18 that feature ornaments with seniors’ irst names and their gift requests. Holiday shop-pers can pick an ornament from these trees, buy the items listed and return them unwrapped to the store, with the ornament at-tached.

Be a Santa to a Senior trees will be located at the following stores:

l Walmart, 8970 Pensacola Blvd., Pensacola

l Walmart, 3767 Gulf Breeze Pkwy.

l Sam’s Club, 1250 Airport Blvd, Pensacola

The local Home Instead Se-nior Care ofice will enlist vol-unteers from its staff, senior-care business associates, non-proit workers and others to collect, wrap and distribute the gifts to local seniors who might other-wise spend the holiday alone.

“Be a Santa to a Senior gives back to older adults in our area, many of whom have had sig-niicant, positive inluence on our lives,” said Carlette Howell, owner at the local Home Instead Senior Care ofice. “During this season of giving, we encourage shoppers to buy a little extra to say thank you to these commu-nity members.”

Scott Peden announced last week that he plans to run for re-election to the Santa Rosa County School Board, District 5, in 2014.

“ It is with great excitement that I am pre-iling to seek re-election to the School Board today,” said Peden.

Accompanied by his wife Renee, Peden iled the neces-sary documents with Supervi-sor of Elections, Tappie Val-lane, Friday afternoon.

“I was very humbled when

the citizens of Santa Rosa County elected me to my irst term in August of 2010. I be-lieve that I have earned their trust over the last three years in doing what is best for the children of Santa Rosa Coun-ty.”

Peden was elected to the School Board in August 2010 and took ofice in November and has completed his third year of the 4-year term. He has been in the communications industry for over 30 years and

is currently a regional man-ager for a c o m m u -nications contractor in Gulf B r e e z e , FL.

“ E v -ery time I visit a school, at-

tend a school event or talk to a parent in the grocery store, it underscores the responsi-

bility and commitment that a school board member must have. These are the people I work for,” he said. “I feel I have done a good job and hope to continue to do so. It’s all about what’s best for our chil-dren.”

District 5 includes all three Gulf Breeze schools, Oriole Beach Elementary and Woodlawn Beach Middle School.

The primary election is Au-gust 26, 2014.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: After shampooing my hair, I looked in the mirror and found a large bald patch near my ear. I screamed.

I can comb my hair to hide it. Does this mean I am about to lose all my hair? Is there a treatment for it? -- A.A.

ANSWER: With a fair degree of conidence, I can say you have alopecia areata, bald patches that vary in size and number.

Close to 4.5 million American adults and children suffer from this condition every year.

Like so many other illnesses, it’s the result of an immune system gone berserk. The immune system attacks hair follicles, the skin pores that are homes for each hair.

What turns on the immune system to do this is something that waits to be discovered.

As heartbreaking as alopecia areata is in the short run, there is high hope of complete restoration of hair in time.

Around 50 percent will have hair regrowth within a year even if no treatment is given.

Treatments exist to speed the healing process.

One is injection of a high-potency cortisone drug, like

triamcinolone, into the bald patch.

Another treatment consists of applying an allergen directly to the bald spots. The reaction it produces leads to hair regrowth.

The allergen often chosen is DPCP, diphenylcyclopropenone.

These are only two of the options open to alopecia areata patients. Hair follicles retain the capacity to regenerate.

Complicated alopecia areata can affect the entire scalp and body hair.

These are not common instances, when you consider the entire population of sufferers of this malady.

If you like more detailed information, contact the National Alopecia Areata Foundation on line at www.naaf.org.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My father was colorblind. Of his four daughters and one son, two of his daughters were colorblind.

I just found out that two of his three grandsons and eight of his nine great-grandsons are colorblind. How common is this? -- S.

ANSWER: Colorblindness affects 8 percent of men, but only 0.4 percent of women. It is, therefore, 20 times more common in men than women.

It’s surprising that two

of your sisters have it. Less surprising is the number of grandsons and great-grandsons with it.

Most colorblind people get along in life without much trouble.

And most have some degree of color perception.

A very few see the world only in grays, black and whites.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I love avocados. I’m trying to lose some weight, but I hear that avocados have a lot of fat. How can a fruit have fat? -- R.D.

ANSWER: Fruits can have fat, as well as protein and carbohydrates. They have no cholesterol.

No member of the plant kingdom does. A medium avocado has around 320 calories.

Most of those calories are due to the fat content of this fruit. But the fat is good fat, not the kind of fat that prods the liver to make cholesterol. It also has three B vitamins, vitamin A and vitamin C.

You can continue to eat avocados, but you have to get rid of something else in your diet that has this many calories.

Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Kietzmann retires after 35 years at GBMSBY MAT PELLEGRINO


Sue Kietzmann, who has taught at Gulf Breeze Middle School for 35 years, reacts to a pamphlet

made for her retirement. Left, Kietzmann listens as those gathered tell heartwarming stories about

what they’ve learned from the teacher.

Ask anyone who works at Gulf Breeze Middle School who Sue Kietzmann is, and they will respond with a handful of com-ments and stories about how the teacher has touched their lives.

That’s because Kietzmann has taught at the school for the last 35 years, and is no stranger in-side the hallways. On November 21, she said her inal farewells at her retirement party inside the school’s library in front of teach-ers who spoke about how their teaching careers were forever changed thanks to Kietzmann.

“She’s always been loyal to the schools, students and the community,” said GBMS princi-

pal Richard Cobb. Kietzmann, who started at

GBMS as a substitute teacher, was offered a job as a full time teacher three decades ago and gladly accepted. From there, she taught sixth grade liberal arts, social studies, reading and even taught summer school.

The teacher, and equestrian lover said that even when she re-tires, she plans on coming back to substitute teach.

“I think I’m going to travel some…and I’m going to play with my horse, do a little bit more riding,” Kietzmann said about her retirement plans. “I’m go-ing to read adult literature, rather than adolescent literature.”

The mother of three gets up early every morning to tend to her horse, and then heads off to

work. The same patience and love she gives her horse, Ki-etzmann said she instills in every child that comes into her class-room.

“I love the kids. I don’t think there is any other job that brings more fulillment,” Kietzmann said.

At the retirement party, one by one, teachers and staff stood up and told stories about how they met the language arts teacher. Some even spoke about her love for her horse, which she spoke about frequently.

“I’ve never seen her had a bad attitude,” Cobb said. “When can you say someone taught 35 years, and all 35 years were at the same place? She’s excited every day. When you give that much, it comes back to you.”

GBES students celebrate Thanksgiving

Gulf Breeze Elementary School ESE teachers Angela Pettus and Kelly Wells had their CBSA self-contained classes spend most of November studying life skills such as reading

grocery lists, menus, recipes, and food costs.

The students have utilized sale ly-ers and the Internet to research how to plan and prepare a Thanksgiving feast.

The students prepared a menu and walked to Walmart on November 22 to shop for and purchase all the neces-

sary items. The students then created an in-

vitation to their families and special guests. The students personally de-livered each invitation.

As the RSVP’s were returned, the students celebrated each person who was planning on attending.

Part of the lesson involved count-

ing the number of people who would attend.

Little did the students realize, they would be serving lunch to over 50 people.

On the day of the feast, the students took their homemade decorations and decorated the entire room.

Each student had speciic job re-

sponsibilities in preparing all the trimmings. For the actual feast, the students dressed as Pilgrims and Na-tive Americans. After the fest, the students inished the lesson by assist-ing with clean-up.

The students had fun preparing and planning the meal for their special guests.

Section B YOUR COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER November 27, 2013


Recipe

This turkey recipe is a family tradition; we eat it at Christmas because Thanksgiving is not celebrated in Perú. Is a nice combination of fl avors, nothing too overpowering. The end result is a very tender turkey with a new fl avor for you.Panca hot pepper paste can be

found in most Latin food stores, but all purpose seasoning can be substituted.

Peruvian Turkey

1 Turkey (I used a 19 lb. turkey)5 Tbsp. of Brown Sugar1 Tbsp. of Cinnamon1 Tbsp. of minced Garlic1 Tbsp. of Pepper1 Tbsp. of Salt1 Tbsp. of All purpose seasoning (or Panca hot pepper paste)2 cubes of chicken broth1 Tbsp. of Prepared Mustard1 cup of WaterSoy Sauce (About 5 Tbsp.)Vinegar (About 5 Tbsp.)

DIRECTIONS:The night before, dissolve chicken

broth cubes in the water, and add all the ingredients except turkey.

Poke holes in the turkey (I used a shish kabob but an ice pick will work) and bathe with the chicken broth mixture. Massage the turkey so the seasoning gets in; refrigerate it, basting it about 2 more times.

Let it marinade in the refrigerator over night. The next morning, baste the turkey with the marinade again and bake in oven at 325° for about 2 hours (Check the weight on the package and make sure you cook it for the time that is suggested), remove the turkey and baste it again with the juice from the bottom of the pan.

The Thanksgiving meal is eaten and the kitchen is clean. Everyone enjoyed themselves by feasting on stuffi ng, turkey and pecan pie. Now, it’s time to retreat to the living room or den to watch football and make conversation with your long lost family members or the other guests.

If the conversation is centering around ailments or unpaid loans to family members, break out the board games.

Board games are the perfect, low-tech way to spark up the fun and there are games for every age and skill level. You can divide up the teams by boys versus girls or by families. Drag the football watchers into the game by promising to keep the TV on in the same room.

Start with a game that all ages can play, such as Uno, Jenga or Cranium. Serious competitors may opt for playing Monopoly, Risk or Scrabble.

Board games encourage participation without using cell phones, tablets, head phones or television sets.

You may fi nd out that Aunt Rita is pretty good at sculpting something out of Cranium clay, or that Uncle Dave knows all the answers to the questions in Trivial Pursuit. Cousin Taylor may prove to be quite competitive and Cousin Ryan may have the skill to remove pieces from the Jenga tower without sending the structure toppling.

Some guests may not want to participate in board games. In that case, set up a 750- or 1,000-piece puzzle on a card table and see how it entices people to stop and place a few pieces together. Soon, they will be completely immersed in fi nishing “just the edges” or some other detail of the puzzle.

Give thanks and prep for spring

If there is any holiday asso-ciated with the bounty of har-vest, it is Thanksgiving. In the time of the Pilgrims it prob-ably meant survival through the winter. For us it is a cel-ebration of family and friends, and time to be thankful for the blessings of the year. I am very thankful for the opportu-nity to share experiences and knowledge that hopefully help others have better harvests. I am also thankful to grow food as a passion rather than a sur-vival necessity.

This time of year is best for preparations for the spring. This is a good time to get your soil tested and apply lime to decrease acidity or sulfur to increase acidity. Setting your soil now and testing allows application of Ph balancers and/or nutrients so the soil is ready for productive growth in the spring.

Bio active soil has a wide variety of living organisms that interact with the micro roots of the plants. A “living” soil makes nutrients more readily available to the plant. Building good soil through the winter allows for planting early in the spring, which helps harvesting before the onslaught of preda-tory bugs. A good garden soil should be in place a minimum of one month prior to planting. Organic material is acidic but with adjusting to the garden the acidity will decrease. Hu-mus, compost, horse, chicken and similar manures should be composted for several months

prior to garden application and should be in place at least a month prior to planting. It is also easier to do dirt work in the cooler months.

Planting lettuces, spinach, peas and cold weather greens can be done in November and December, but seeds should be started inside and trans-planted; then protected with row covers.

Gardeners generally toil the soil as a passion rather than a necessity. Food quality, hobby, therapy, self expres-sion, exercise, social involve-ment, way of life and more are sentiments gardeners express for their enjoyment. The in-teraction with nature and the seasonal changes gives a con-nection with processes of life that is lost in our increasingly technological world.

Time is the number one reason people give for not gar-dening. The need for income creates a trade of life and health for money. The food system at large is not perfect, but it does allow convenience for meeting daily necessities. However, food related diseas-es far outweigh calamities as cause for ill health. Finding a balance for high quality nutri-tion and time eficiency is an equation I have worked on for years.

The “Market Garden” con-cept is a combined community project that allows individuals to help each other decrease the money, time and labor in-volved in vegetable produc-tion. We live in a great com-munity. Having a local source of fresh nutritious food is a valuable asset to the commu-nity. People working together to help each other is the idea. I am thankful to be of service.

Rivalry Week: A Coronation and

an ExecutionAlabama-Auburn, Florida-FSU set to do

battleThere are two huge Southern in-state

matchups that headline rivalry week each season in this part of the country – Alabama-Auburn and Florida-Florida State. Between these two rivalries, there have been countless legendary (or infamous) coaches, players, games and plays; numerous conference and national titles; and, most importantly, a whole lot of good old fashioned hatred.

Sure, there are other great rivalries around the south, and the rest of the country. And there are some other great games going on this week. But none are carrying as much weight as Tide vs. Tigers and Gators vs. Noles.

Unlike years past, these two games feature nearly all of the above this season. As a sports writer, you could have a fi eld day with all of the possible coverage angles. The Jameis Winston investigation. Alabama’s quest for a third-straight national title. And Auburn’s monumental turnaround season are just a few possibilities.

But I’m going to boil down each game’s potential top story to just one word. For Alabama-Auburn, that word is coronation. The winner of this year’s Iron Bowl will take the SEC West crown and a spot in the conference title game.

When No. 6 Auburn hosts the top-ranked Tide, the stakes could not be any higher. It’s the first winner-take-all Iron Bowl for the SEC West title and a spot in the conference title game in the league’s 22 years under the championship game format.

There are also national title implications, as Bama (which will enter the game 11-0 after knocking off Chtattanooga this weekend) is looking for a third-straight. If Auburn (10-1) wins out, it could make a case for a spot in the BCS title game, as well. Contrary from what

some might believe – the last four national titles reside in the state of Alabama – this type of Iron Bowl doesn’t happen every year.

For Florida-Florida State, on the other hand, the word is execution. Not the type of execution that coaches demand from their players, the kind that helps you win football games. I’m talking about an actual execution, namely, the possible death of Will Muschamp’s hopes of retaining his position as head coach of the Gators.

Florida is 5-6 (assuming they beat Georgia

Southern) and holding on to the slimmest hopes of finishing .500 and reaching a bowl game.

If the Gators can’t find a way to pull of the improbable upset, Florida will suffer its first losing season since 1979, a miserable 0-10-1 season under head coach Charley Pell. It would also eliminate any hopes of winning a bowl game and continuing Florida’s 25-year streak of winning seasons.

But if the Gators are embarrassed at home by FSU and finish 5-7, ending both impressive streaks, you can’t help but wonder if UF

officials will still stand behind Muschamp. There’s reason to believe that scenario could send him to the unemployment line.

Or, the Sunshine State showdown could be an (unlikely) execution of FSU as a national title contender. The Seminoles are 11-0 and gunning for a BCS title appearance, pending the ACC Championship game. A loss to the rival Gators, though unlikely to happen, would crush FSU’s BCS hopes. It would also offer Florida fans a huge takeaway from an otherwise disappointing season.

As we all know too well, nothing’s ever a sure when it comes to these rivalry games. Well, except for trash talking and lots and lots of, ahem, “hydration.” I’ll let you decide whether I’m talking about players or fans.

HERE’S A QUICK GUIDE FOR EACH GAME:

No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 6 AuburnWhere: Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn, Ala.When: 2:30 p.m.TV: CBSWhat’s at stake: A spot in the SEC Championship Game.Prediction: Auburn comes out humming offensively, scoring quick and getting ahead of Alabama early. But the Crimson Tide proves too deep

and talented for the Tigers to keep up for four quarters, and Alabama, a la Georgia last week, capitalizes on Auburn’s weaknesses to win the most important Iron Bowl in recent history, maybe ever, 33-27.

No. 2 Florida State vs. FloridaWhere: Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Gainesville, Fla.When: 11 a.m.TV: ESPN

What’s at stake: It depends. For FSU, a perfect regular season and a shot at the national title. For Florida, perhaps the future employment status of its head coach.Prediction: Florida rides the emotion of playing a huge rivalry game at home for a bit, keeping it close for a quarter or two, before Florida State asserts itself as the dominant team in the Sunshine State and runs out of The Swamp with a huge 34-13 victory.

Medical service dogs restore lives to many

With plenty of fundraising and public awareness, Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs, Inc. is able to restore the lives for those less fortunate.

GAMSD, located in Willis-ton, is a nonproit organization that rescues, raises and trains medical service dogs.

“We train our dogs for both the visible and invisible dis-abilities,” said Carol Borden, executive director and founder of GAMSD.

GAMSD trains for mobility and hearing disabilities, seizure alert, insulin alert and post-trau-matic stress disorder.

“We have the modern day Rin Tin Tin,” Borden said. “These dogs help restore the lives to people and their families.”

GAMSD has a 100 percent success rate for there has not been a single suicide or suicide attempt since a person has been paired with a GAMSD dog, Bor-den said.

“Each dog is custom trained to mitigate whatever the chal-lenges that people are having,” Borden said.

GAMSD’s mission is to not only help alleviate the ailments for people with disabilities, but also to educate the public on what a medical service dog is and the laws pertaining to it.

By law, and according to The American Disabilities Act, medical service dogs are able to go anywhere the general public goes: restaurants, hotels, sport-ing events, air planes, busses and trains.

Therapy dogs are great com-panions that often visit assisted living facilities and hospitals,

but they are not trained for a speciic skill set and are not fed-erally protected, Borden said.

In order to increase aware-ness in the community, every year GAMSD holds a Passing of the Leash ceremony that recog-nizes the donors, sponsors and volunteers.

“The Passing of the Leash ceremony is a symbolic and emotional event that gives us the opportunity to recognize the many donors, sponsors and vol-unteers that have helped make it inancially possible to pair these amazing dogs with those less fortunate,” Borden said.

This year the event will be held Dec. 7 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Holy Family Catholic Church Hall in Williston.

People will also get the chance to meet this year’s service dog recipients and hear their stories of before and after they have re-ceived their dog, she said

“I believe it is an evening that visitors will never forget,” Bor-den said.

Navarre resident and Vietnam War veteran Raymond Galmi-che received his medical service dog Dazzle from GAMSD two years ago.

Galmiche suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, lash-backs and high anxiety levels.

“What he does for me is fo-cuses on problems I experience,” Galmiche said. “He calms me and keeps me grounded.”

Galmiche said Dazzle plays a different role in his life, and is much more than a dog.

“He’s an amazing, amazing animal, and I love him.” Galmi-che said.

The Passing of the Leash cer-emony will also include a des-sert party, a mystery auction and a rafle with many prizes and gifts to be won.

“We are on a constant quest to ind the funds to continue to restore and save lives through the magic of our dogs,” Borden said.

She said because there is no government funding and insur-ance does not cover the work that GAMSD does, most of their time is spent writing for private foundation grants, soliciting do-nations and planning fundrais-ers.

“Our donors are vital to the success and growth of our orga-nization,” Borden said.

She said without the donors GAMSD would be unable to give back the dignity, self-worth and peace of mind to the heroes that risked life and limb on the battleield.

“The next time you buy a Christmas present for someone, you might think about giving the most valuable gift in the world – the gift of life,” Borden said. “By donating to our organiza-tion, you play a vital role in help-ing us restore and save another life with our service dogs.”
