Heated commissioners’ meeting on courthouse
72 become citizens during ceremony at NAS Pensacola By Larry Sullivan editor@navarrepress.com The number of Americans has increased. On a sunny fall afternoon in Pensacola, 72 people from 35 nations raised their hands and recited the oath of citizenship. About 500 people attended the two-hour proceedings Nov. 13 in the spectacular Blue Angels atrium inside the Naval Aviation Museum at Naval Air Station Pensacola, including families of the citizenship candidates and fifthgraders from the Liza Jackson Prep School in Fort Walton Beach. Chief U.S. District Judge M. Casey Rogers presided over the ceremony and swore in the new Americans. She asked each of them to stand, say their name and the country they were coming from. “America is a richer place because of your stories,”Rogers told them. “Your stories give us strength.”

Lynchard gets gavel as chairman By Larry Sullivan editor@navarrepress.com Santa Rosa County officials have discussed building a new courthouse for more than two decades. Last week, they Williamson agreed waiting another month to decide the fate of a proposed site wouldn’t hurt. Commissioners are divided on a recent proposal to build the judicial center, estimated to cost between $30 - $40 million, in a low-lying area of Pine Street in Milton described as “a swamp” in a flood plain next to railroad tracks and a sewage treatment plant. The division led to some heated discussion when officials met at the Tiger Point Community Center on Nov. 12. Commissioners unanimously postponed a decision after it was clear that Commissioner Rob Williamson’s push for quick approval of

t’s a path the United States has been on for a lengthy time, except now, instead of keeping the danger outside our borders, we are importing it. It seems self-preservation is no longer politically correct. But all one has to do is recount the weekend’s horrific terrorist attack on hundreds of innocents in Paris. Never mind the city is suing a major U.S. news outlet for what it claims was false reporting of “no-go zones,’enclaves where even law enforcement fear entering because Muslims were becoming radicalized and violent. Let’s not forget the leader of France’s far-right National Front Party, Marine Le Pen, who is facing fines and prison for her warning five years ago. Add to this mix the millions of displaced Syrian and African refugees Europe bound, some of whom ISIS claims to have purposefully integrated into this mass exodus. As of Saturday, France has sealed their border as have Austria and Hungary. But have we? The Obama administration is planning to increase the number of Syrian refugees coming into the U.S. by opening screening centers in Iraq and Lebanon to expedite the process. While in Berlin in September, Secretary of State John Kerry announced the U.S. will take more refugees as the crises grows, accepting up to 100,000 each year by 2017, a large increase over the current cap of 70,000. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, 91 percent of Middle Eastern refugees are heavy welfare recipients, averaging $64,370 per person in the first five years or $257, 481 per household from taxpayer dollars. This is 12 times what the UN estimates it costs to care for one refugee in a neighboring Middle Eastern country. Is it too logical to ask how the hungry one in 6 Americans, minorities, homeless, disabled and unemployed in America will be helped while billions of taxpayer dollars are spent providing housing, cash assistance, food stamps, Medicaid and aid to refugee-receiving communities for these refugees? The State Department sent one of these refugee groups to the New Orleans Airport this weekend without the knowledge of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. He wrote to the president: “It is irresponsible and severely disconcerting to place individuals, who may have ties to ISIS, in a state without the state’s knowledge or involvement.” More than 22 governors have now refused refugee resettlement in their states. On Monday, Florida’s Gov. Scott joined them. Do the math. The U.S. legalizes annually more than 1 million immigrants who have patiently waited their turn, navigating through myriad gauntlets. In addition, we bring in 700,000 foreign workers annually, some of whom never return to their countries. In a separate category, the EB-5 Visa program allows foreign entrepreneurs to receive citizenship for themselves and their families if they start a business and create jobs.
Conservative estimates are that we have 11 million illegal immigrants currently here; however, Mexico’s former ambassador to the U.S. in August said 30 million illegal immigrants currently live here. What is rarely mentioned is that in addition to the above numbers, the U.S. accepts thousands upon thousands of refugees and asylees each year from Iraq, Somalia, Burma and Afghanistan and many other countries. The legislators, mayors and citizens in these refugee destination states aren’t even notified. It is all a “handshake and money transfer of tax dollars” between the State Department and one of the nine organizations resettling refugees, including Catholic Charities, Episcopal Migration Ministries and the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service. In place already in the U.S. are existing terror networks and dozens of terror training camps, one camp just hours from here in Alabama, according to “Twilight in America: The Untold Story of Islamic Terrorist Training Camps Inside America,” by Martin Mawyer and Paul Pierucci. According to the Investigative Project.org, many existing terror cells operate in the U.S. Take your pick: Jamaat ul-Fuqra, Laskare-Taylbba, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Al-Islami, Al-Barakat, Al-Ittihad, Al Qaeda, AlShabaab, AbuSayyaf, Iranian Terror, Hizballah, Muslim Brotherhood, Holy Land Foundation, State of Iraq and the Leviant (ISIL/also known as ISIS), Palestinian Terror and lastly, homegrown. The FBI reports that attempts are being made to radicalize our sons and daughters via social media. Impressionable refugees or those intent on completing terror acts once here have a readymade network at their disposal. As ISIS claims responsibility for the recent downing of the Soviet jetliner in Egypt and Monday’s video threatens to strike in Washington, at America’s heart, it is apparent we are no longer dealing with a JV team, nor is ISIS ‘contained.’ U.S. Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) has introduced HR 3314, the Resettlement Accountability National Security Act, which would suspend the admission into the United States of refugees in order to examine the costs of providing benefits until more appropriate involvement with law enforcement and national security agencies exists and has better congressional oversight. U.S. Rep Michael McCaul (R-Texas), who chairs the House Committee on Homeland Security, has introduced HR 3573 to give Congress oversight of the Syrian Refugee Resettlement Program. It would give the American people’s representatives the chance to vote up or down on the president’s plan to immediately resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees into the U.S. and improve the security vetting process. Begin today to call your member of Congress and your U.S. senators to ask they stop the funding for the Refugee Admissions Program for FY 2016 as Congress will be debating funding for the entire government in advance of a Dec. 11 deadline.

Santa Rosa County Meetings
Letters to the Editor East Bay Boulevard roadside cleanup We observed a group of individuals picking up trash along East Bay Boulevard Saturday, Nov. 14. It was not obvious who they were or what organization they represented, but what a super job they did. A special thank you to all of you that took on this task! When we drove along the road today, there were numerous orange-colored plastic bags full of trash, secured and ready to be picked up. The roadside looks great! It is just too bad that this task had to be accomplished because of the thoughtless acts of those that choose to litter the roadside with their discarded trash. Again, thank you to the individuals responsible for cleaning up East Bay Boulevard.

Out and About By Sandi Kemp, Publisher The Navarre Garden Club is sponsoring “Santa’s Workshop Craft Fair” this Saturday at the Navarre Conference Center. Goodies for Thanksgiving will be available at Ye Olde Bake Shoppe within the Craft Fair. Children’s Activities will entertain the kiddies and Santa will be visiting. Santa Rosa Medical Clinic will be having another Dinner with the Doc on Thursday, Nov. 19. The topic will be robotic-assisted techniques to perform surgery. See their ad for more information and details on how to reserve your seat. We also have an article in our Seniors Section this week on robotics and its expected impact on healthcare needs. Dermatology Specialists wants you to join them for the 12 Days of Christmas Celebration with 12 special offers. Visit their website for more information: 12DaySpecial.com. The Navarre Chamber is taking registrations for vendors, sponsors, and parade applicants for the 21st Annual Christmas in the Park that will be held Dec. 5. Visit Navarrechamber.com for more information. Shoe Frenzy in Navarre opened last weekend and was a raving success. This week they are offering rain boots for $29.99. Stop by and check them out (located behind Cactus Flower Café). We would like to welcome our new advertiser, Patio Depot. They are located in Destin and sell 100 percent recycled outdoor furniture that combines style and comfort. I enjoyed the Navarre Chamber small shop crawl this past Saturday even though I spent way too much money. However, it felt good to mark people off my Christmas list. I even bought items for people that were not on my Christmas list. Charlene Clark won $100 for completing the crawl, and our own Pamela Sparks won $100 for making a purchase during the crawl (from a random drawing.) Door Prizes were given by Foxy Boutique, Mary Kay, Thirty One Gifts, All Phase Cleaning, Pak-NFax, Southern Specialty Market, A Special Place, Turtles Nest, Sand Dollar Cottage, Twisted Gypsy, Shoe Frenzy, Saltwater Cottage, Navarre Jewelry, Lynnz Oil Biz, and the Vine Wine Bar. We have a story in our Business Section this week on this successful event. Next week is Thanksgiving and we will have a great issue – as usual. And, we already have plans for the week after Thanksgiving. That will definitely be an issue that you don’t want to miss – just like every other issue. We get invited to a lot of events as the press – and I have to say that going to naturalization ceremonies is at the top of the list. The very top of the list was when I was invited to fly with the Blue Angels – but that was scrubbed due to rain – after I was in my flight suit. However, right next to that were my two trips with Honor Flight to Washington D.C., and then out to the USS Enterprise – landing and being catapulted from the deck after spending the night, and then the excursion with the Marines from a Chinook to a battleship – and back on a hovercraft – and then – naturalization ceremonies. They are very emotionally moving and my eyeballs sweat just about every time. Quote of the Week: “Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.” ― Ann Landers 1918-2002, Advice Columnist.

Ownership changes but quality of care doesn’t at The Beacon
The Blake of Gulf Breeze is now The Beacon, but other than a name change and new management, the assistedliving facility at 4410 Gulf Breeze Parkway is still the same. The Beacon is managed by Superior Residences Senior Living. It was formerly owned and operated by Blake Management Group, which sold the facility to CNL Healthcare Properties out of Orlando. Management changed hands July 31 of this year. “We still have the same loving, caring people providing care for others,”said Tiffany Rollins, the director of community relations at The Beacon. Other than new management, everything else is the same.” The public can see for itself today when The Beacon hosts its open house and ribbon cutting from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. The Gulf Breeze Chamber of Commerce and Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce will both attend the event as well as members of the management company.
Food, beer and wine will be available as well, in addition to music. Tours of the facility will be available during the event. The Beacon has a capacity of 120 residents and 13 nurses are on staff to provide the best possible care to the residents 24 hours a day. Two nurse practitioners make regular visits to save residents trips to the doctor. Labs and X-rays can also be done on-site. The Beacon also offers restaurant-style dining three times a day. A wellness team is also available to residents. The staff works with the residents, the family and medical profes-
sionals to develop customizedcare programs. One of the other options made available to residents is memory care, a specialized area of assisted living. Patients dealing with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia receive care beyond what traditional assisted-living facilities are able to provide. The memory care program addresses the needs of the whole person. Among the other amenities offered at The Beacon are spacious apartments with kitchenettes, private baths, courtyard views and personalized security response systems, onsite physical therapy and exer-
cise programs, game and card rooms, a movie theater and a salon and spa. Concierge service is also available for scheduling medical appointments, activities, family visits and for accommodating other needs of the residents. One addition to The Beacon is the day-stay program. The program is set up to provide a safe and secure place for a loved one to be if a primary caregiver needs time to take care of his or her own personal needs for a few hours, such as running errands. “It’s a nice option for people and we are trying to generate more interest in it,”Rollins said.
“They will be taken care of and be able to do activities or exercise while they are here.” The Beacon is all about providing peace of mind to families so that their loved ones will be taken care of, and the staff will treat them as if they are their own family members. “That is what we are here to do. To take care of them and love them like they were part of our family,”director of nursing Barbara Scheurer said in an interview earlier this year. To schedule a tour and consultation, contact Tiffany Rollins at 850-934-4306 or email her at trollins@ superior-sl.com.

Small Shop Crawl brings record-setting sales By Gail Acosta editor@navarrepress.com By all accounts and everyone’s accounting, the 2015 Holiday Small Shop Crawl presented by the Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce was a huge success. More than a dozen Navarre shops participated, and each one said the event brought new customers into their shop. The Director of Membership
and Marketing for the Navarre Chamber Chanda Ryan said, “The main goal of the Small Shop Crawl is to increase awareness of all the local shopping options in the Navarre area. I think we did that with over 300 purchases made.” “Saturday was our top sales day since we’ve been open,” said Lisa Gambill, owner of Southern Specialty Market. “We had about 90 sales total.
We also scored perfect on the Mystery Shopper’s criteria. It was just a wonderful event.” Foxy Boutique has participated in all of the Small Shop Crawls over the years and owner Dora Zuses said this was the best one so far. “We had probably about 50 customers through the store, and we planned our annual open house for the same day. It worked out great,”she said. Some of the shop crawlers
saw visitors from out of the area, including Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama and other areas along the Emerald Coast. Comments from the shoppers on the crawl map distributed indicated that many shoppers went into some shops for the first time, creating new customers for the businesses. Overall, the shoppers found friendly, helpful staff members and new shopping options.
Sharon Sharkey, store manager for Pak N Fax located at the intersection of Laredo Street and Highway 87 said they had one of their best Saturdays, nearly tripling their sales. Bobbie Harms, manager of Saltwater Cottage said they gained new customers and had an overall successful day at the store. The shop crawl ended at Vine Wine with drawings for
cash prizes and other door prizes donated by the shops. Shoppers completing the entire shop crawl and visiting every business were entered into a drawing for a cash prize, and this year’s winner was Charlene Clark of Navarre. Shoppers completed a drawing ticket as each purchase was made, and a drawing for a cash prize was held and awarded to Pamela Sparks of Navarre.

Economic development giveaways drop By Rob Johnson rob@navarrepress.com Freebies are falling out of fashion as a means to lure new employers to Santa Rosa County. The recent slowdown by county officials in bestowing money or other incentives, such as discounting the sale of government-owned property to prospective new employers, is in step with the current advice of some economists. Job-recruiting sweeteners approved by the Santa Rosa County Commission fell to just $2,000 in the fiscal year 20132014 from $1.1 million the previous year, according to the lat-
850-939-5400 www.weemarkets.com
Economic Development Incentives not reflected in job growth
■ Santa Rosa County incentives in year ended Sept. 30, 2014: $2,000 ■ Employment increase in following 12 months: 4.1 percent ■ Escambia County incentives in year ended Sept. 30, 2014: $4.6 million ■ Employment increase in following 12 months: minus 1 percent ■ Okaloosa County incentives in year ended Sept. 30, 2014: $722,201 ■ Employment increase in following 12 months: 3.6 percent Source: Florida Legislative Office of Economic and Demographic Research and Florida Bureau of Economic Opportunity est statewide survey by the Florida Legislative Office of Economic and Demographic Research. The decrease hasn’t hurt job growth hereabout. In fact, Santa Rosa gained employment at a faster pace in the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2015, than either neighboring Escambia or Okaloosa counties, even though they awarded various companies $4.6 million and $722,000 respectively in the 2013-2014 fiscal year, the Tallahassee research shows. “Maybe Santa Rosa has just gotten smarter. It doesn’t appear that lowering incentives is having a negative impact on growth,”said Rod Lewis, executive vice president of analytics at Career Source Florida, a Pensacola-based nonprofit that helps with job training and placement. Lewis said the attraction of up-front inducements is taking a back seat to longer-term
factors such as the availability of shovel-ready business locations, a qualified work force and good schools that make the area attractive to employees. “If a company is looking at you, there’s a reason. It’s because they’re interested already,”Lewis said. Split in economic recruiting strategies Santa Rosa’s recent job growth success even as it reduced incentives highlights two separate approaches to economic recruiting that are being advocated at the state government level. Gov. Rick Scott called on Florida legislators in October to set aside $250 million in the next state budget for economic incentive programs. But Scott’s request for $85 million to woo employers was sliced in half during the 2015 legislative session by critics who said such spending hasn’t been effective
enough and needs more oversight. Amy Baker, the state’s top economist whose agency conducts the annual county-bycounty incentives survey, told the Navarre Press that lessdeveloped areas of Florida should consider lower emphasis on traditional industrial recruiting and more stimulus of home-grown entrepreneurial endeavors. “Santa Rosa may be one of those counties that should focus on small business and startups and less on attracting companies in industries that might come anyway,”she said. That possible alternative isn’t lost on Shannon Ogletree, the county’s director of economic development. He said the traditional model of luring new payrolls isn’t universally appealing in an era when it’s no longer novel and many desirable employers may have other priorities. “I was meeting with a company just recently and incentives weren’t something they emphasized,”Ogletree said. Neither is his agency. In the 2014-2015 fiscal year, Ogletree said, the amount of Santa Rosa’s dropped to zero. And although he’s speaking with several target companies for 2016, no specific incentives are yet on the table.
Never say never To be sure, incentives are still ensconced in the culture of economic development nationally and remain an option for Santa Rosa County. The most recent major example here occurred in 2013 when Ogletree led the initiative to sell a 35-acre parcel located on county land in its industrial park to Goldring Gulf Distributing LLC for a reduced price of about $700,000. Goldring Gulf got that deal as an incentive to build a $10 million beverage distributing facility that is projected to eventually create 250 jobs paying an average of $35,675 per year, which amounts to more than the county’s average wage of $14.91 per hour. County commissioners are still open to such enticements depending on the payback.“If a company comes in and says it will bring 100 jobs, for example, they get a discount on the price,”Ogletree said. But Baker cautioned that if incentives are used, they tend to produce a better return on investment when the companies who receive them are local. That’s because giveaways to companies with headquarters and major operations in other states may inadvertently spread the benefits to areas with which we’re competing for new jobs.

West Navarre Primary Teacher of the Year
Emily Simon fuses new-school ideas with old-school style By Gail Acosta editor@navarrepress.com Teacher of the year is indeed a distinction among teachers. The winners find great honor in the award because they are selected by their peers. In her sixth year at the school, Emily Simon is West Navarre Primary’s award winner this year. “I’m so honored to represent West Navarre Primary. Any one of our teachers could have been nominated from this school,” Simon said. Simon always knew she wanted to be a teacher but she was sure it would be in physical education. She and her husband graduated college with P.E. degrees. He

continued into athletic training in the Santa Rosa School District and now teaches biology at Navarre High School and coaches girls’ soccer. Simon on the other hand, ran the children’s program at The Club in Gulf Breeze, and was a stay-athome mom for a while. It was when she taught preschool that she knew she wanted to be in the classroom. Now she teaches kindergarten. “Kindergarten is great because the children are clean slates. I get to guide them, and I accept that role and take it seriously,” Simon said. West Navarre Primary Principal Billy Price said, “Emily is a new-school kindergarten teacher with an old-school feel. She marries the best of the two; nurturing and loving her students while at the same time meeting the increased academic standards in kindergarten.” Perhaps Simon’s oldschool feel comes from the great school influences she had growing up. She went to school in Okaloosa County and fondly remembers her teachers,“My teacher at Edwins (Elementary) was warm and loving. My second grade teacher, Mrs. Richardson always made me feel smart, even when I really wasn’t. In high school,

Emily Simon, West Navarre Primary’s Teacher of the Year, uses innovative ways to teach her students. Students put on their lab coats and glasses to work with marine life in the touch tank Simon set up in her classroom. my basketball coach, Coach Craig, taught me to never give up and to give it all you got. The teachers at West Navarre Primary inspire me daily. So I take little bits and pieces of all of them and put them into my classroom,” she said. Price said, “Emily is incredibly innovative and full of new ideas. She tries to find nontraditional ways to reach the students. She finds and develops things based on
their interests, needs and desires.” One of the nontraditional ways Simon reaches the children is bringing the outside into the classroom. “To me it’s important to bring our area into the classroom,” Simon said. So, she volunteered at the Marine Science Station, and now has incorporated a touch tank of sea life into her class. Her students don lab coats and safety glasses as if aspiring sci-
entists or biologists and learn about the different things living in the tank. “We do a lot of hands-on learning, and they learn without realizing it. Sometimes you have to sneak the learning in,”Simon said. That is just one of the many characteristics that make her stand out. “At West Navarre Primary, this award was more about what characteristic or quality is it that we hold to be
most important to us, and for Emily it’s the love she has for her students and her profession. She loves what she does and for whom she does it,”Price said. Her favorite part of teaching? The look in her students’ eyes and their excitement when they learn something new. “You get the look, you feel the love, and you are a rock star,”she said. Emily Simon is West Navarre Primary’s 2015 rock star.

Tips for keeping you and your pet safe
Unleashed is unlawful By Gail Acosta editor@navarrepress.com
Along with good nutrition, exercise is a key in keeping your dog at a healthy weight. Most experts agree that large breed dogs need up to 40 minutes of cardio exercise per day. While some owners in Navarre utilize the dog park to exercise their dog, others take Fido for a run or walk. The Santa Rosa County Animal Shelter wants to remind dog owners to keep their pet leashed when taking those walks. “It’s just safer for everyone,”Dora Thomason, kennel supervisor at the shelter said. “When a dog is not leashed, even the best-trained dogs can lose focus and chase after something. You risk your dog being hit by a car or even nipping or biting at someone.”
While leashes provide safety for your dog, it is also required by county ordinance. Those not obeying the Santa Rosa County leash ordinance can face fines. The ordinance requires that owners be in direct control of the animal when it is off the private property of its owner. The ordinance further defines direct control as immediate, continuous physical control of an animal at all times by means of a fence, leash, cord or chain of such strength to restrain it. Dogs are allowed off-leash at designated dog parks. Navarre’s dog park is located on High School Boulevard. While walking your dog, use sidewalks whenever available, however, in areas where there are no sidewalks, remember to walk against the flow of traffic. It’s the rule of the road, and it also allows you to see
oncoming traffic and avoid any hazards. When walking in the evening or at dusk, wear reflective clothing and use a reflective leash for your dog for higher visibility. Take your dog with you to your local pet store to try on collars, leashes and harnesses to ensure a snug fit and to determine which restraint is best for keeping your dog under control. Some pet owners prefer harnesses to leashes for animal comfort and greater control over the dog. For some welltrained dogs, a leash is enough of a reminder that they are under their owner’s control. “Most owners know their dog really well and what they will or won’t respond to,”Thomason said. In all cases, find an activity that both you and your pet enjoy and can do safely together. It will promote better health for you both.

Guide dogs help lead blind Florida couple to the altar
Winter Haven, Fla. (AP) — A blind Winter Haven couple is crediting their guide dogs for leading them to the altar. Mike and Eva Truelock met at Southeastern Guide Dogs Inc. in 2007 after Eva returned to the school because she was having trouble with her dog. Mike, 48, was already there with his first guide dog.Their paths only crossed for a week
but they exchanged numbers and soon started talking on the phone. After three years of a long-distance romance, Mike moved to Florida and they married in 2010. The Ledger reports their two black labs also complement each other perfectly. Sandy is more high-strung, while Romeo is calm and laid back.
Mike has Retina Pigmentosa and has been legally blind since he was 28 years old. Eva, 45, was born with a cancer of the retina and became legally blind as a toddler. "I know that Eva tends to be very outgoing and bubbly while Mike is calm, cool and collected," said Suzy Wilburn who is the director of admissions and graduate services at
Southeastern Guide Dogs. "The two complement each other perfectly. The unique part is that their dogs have also been the yin and the other's yang, which makes for a very happy household." The couple says the dogs have changed their lives in every way — big and small. "Sandy and Romeo are basically our right hands," said
Mike, who is a certified massage therapist. "You find your trust and loyalty with these dogs really quick. There is a lot of training that goes into getting the dogs into the shape they are in today. They wear special harnesses when we are out in public when they are in work mode, but when we bring them home they are not in the harnesses."

of aggression. However, young children do not. "Perhaps they are comparing this to a smile in people," Pongracz says. "After all, when people show their teeth, they're often happy." Ultimately, people do learn how to decipher barks. "Thousands of years ago, barking evolved as a means to communicate with people to widely and express many emotions," Pongracz says. Barking can also lead to people complaining about dogs, even euthanization for chronic barkers. Pongracz conducted a study with researchers in Brazil to determine what types of barks annoy people most. In his study he found fast pulsating barks and high pitchedsounding barks were most annoying, and equally annoying to Hungarians as to Brazilians. Humans apparently understand what dogs are trying to tell us, at least adults do -- but does it work both ways? How much do dogs really comprehend? Dog cognition centers around the world are attempting to grasp how much dogs really know. For example, in the UK a retired psychologist John Pilley taught a Border Collie named Chaser to identify 1,022 toys and objects by name. In fact, it appears Chaser can understand complete sentences. However, Adam Miklosi, founder of the Family Dog Research Project cautions, "Understanding is a very vague term, and I try to avoid it if I can." He adds there's no question that dogs do respond to tone of voice. You can make the trick to tell many dogs in Hungarian or in English the same sentence or command, and they will
perform the same action mostly based on the body cues and the context, as well as partially on tone of voice. While the average canine may not be as brilliant as Chaser, Pongracz adds: "We learned going back as far as 2001 that dog owners are of the opinion that their dogs do understand them, not only single words, but actual sentences. By understanding, I mean responding correctly as we might expect. So, if I say 'We're going to the vet,' and the dog hides under the sofa; however, what we don't know is what the dog is really understanding." Is the dog actually comprehending the sentence, is
that one word, 'vet,' in that sentence, or is it all about context, perhaps the only time a certain leash is used? "Obviously we don't have empirical data to understand these claims,"Pongracz says. "But clearly dogs do truly behave in ways that convince their owners that they really do understand." He continues: "Recently our colleagues found with brain imaging techniques that dogs' brains respond not only to the intonation/emotions, but the verbal content of such words that dogs probably heard previously, and [heard] often. It is important to note, however, that these brain activations happened mostly
when the verbal utterance and the usual intonation with it appeared simultaneously." Pongracz's work confirms what dog owners have known for centuries. Dogs are really adept at picking up on our emotional cues. If you feel and act sad, your dog responds one way. If you feel and act overjoyed, your dog acts another way. Dogs clearly pick up on our emotions. When we're being funny, our dogs may act playful. However, Miklosi stops short of saying dogs actually have a sense of humor. And he adds, "I know many people who also lack a sense of humor."

In Hungary researchers are discovering what dogs may understand, and how they communicate to humans BUDAPEST, Hungary -Senior lecturer Peter Pongracz of the Family Dog Research Project at Eotvos Lorand University in the Department of Ethology in Budapest, Hungary, has studied how much we understand what dogs are trying to tell us, based on their vocalizations alone. And it turns out even people who have never had a dog are pretty adept at knowing whether the dog is unhappy about being home alone or is acting aggressive to another dog, for example. To learn if visual cues counted in any way, Pongracz included blind respondents who have never seen a dog and they had no problem determining what dogs were "saying." However, young children didn't fare nearly as well at recognizing what the dog barks meant. Some researchers have suggested that since people have evolved with dogs, we innately understand the meaning of dog barks. According to Pongracz's research, we're not born understanding "dog language." Adults know when dogs bare their teeth, it's a sign
Eva said having a guide dog helped her get two master's degrees — one in counseling and another in visual disabilities. "Having a guide dog meant the difference between going to college in Orlando and staying at home," Eva said. "I didn't know the first thing about using a cane. How did I expect to go to college by myself and cross campus?" Learn about the Family Dog Research Project at http://familydogproject.elte.h u/. (Steve Dale welcomes questions/comments from readers.

Mark Williams, age 46, of Fort Walton Beach, Florida, passed away unexpectedly on Nov. 13, 2015. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Arthur and Opal Boyle of Greenup, Kentucky; grandparents Clay W.“Boomer”and Mary P. Williams of Fort Walton Beach, Florida; and many beloved aunts, uncles and cousins. Survivors are his wife Tracey L. Williams of Fort Walton Beach; daughter Taylor N. Williams of Tallahassee, Florida; son Noah K. Williams of Pensacola, Florida; stepson Tyler J. Turner of Scott Air Force Base, Illinois; former wife and mother of his children Donna G. Williams of Milton, Florida; parents John “Sandy”and Oma “Bernice” Williams of Fort Walton Beach, Florida; brothers Michael C. (Heather) Williams of Destin, Florida and Matthew W. Williams of Fort Walton Beach, Florida; and numerous beloved aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. Stephen“Mark”Williams was born July 24, 1969, in Ashland, Kentucky. He grew up in Fort Walton Beach, Florida graduating from Fort Walton Beach High School in 1987 where he lettered in swimming. Mark received his associate degree in Business from Okaloosa-Walton Community College in 1989. He then assumed management of the family aviation business, Boomer Aviation, that he helped found at the age of 10 with his father and brothers. At the time of his death he continued to serve as the president of Boomer Aviation. In addition to running a busy aviation company, he also enjoyed a successful career in real estate joining Realty Associates of Santa Rosa in 1997 where he received numerous accolades for sales and service. Additionally, he served on many boards and performed many civic duties including: 2003 President Navarre Area Board of Realtors, 2007 President Navarre Beach Area Chamber Commerce, Multi-year NABOR Realtor of theYear winner, 2004 NABOR Community Service Award for his tireless community and charitable efforts, 2004 Navarre Beach Area Chamber Spirit of Navarre Award for his efforts in the creation and adoption of the Navarre Town Center Plan, in 2005, headed the first-ever Habitat for Humanity in Navarre which built a home for a needy Navarre family, and in 2006-2007 Honorary Commander - 96th Communications Group, Eglin AFB. He volunteered so much of his time and expertise to charitable causes including but not limited to: Habitat for Humanity, NABOR’s Toy Drive, Relay for Life, Red Cross, fundraising for programs at Navarre High School, fundraising for the John Duncan Memorial Children’s Park in Navarre, Horizons, The ARC of the Emerald Coast and Fresh Start for Children and Families. Mark was also extremely proud to have been a Fort Walton Beach High School Swim Team Parent. Above all, Mark's pride and joy were his beautiful, smart and kind children Taylor, Noah and stepson, Tyler. Mark enjoyed vacationing, snorkeling, golfing, boating, fishing, sailing, cooking, renovating, photography, and anything outdoors. There was absolutely nothing that he couldn't do or build and he took great pleasure in helping others no matter how busy he was. But most of all, it was his infectious smile, sense of humor, kind heart and love for his wife, children and family for which he will always be remembered. There will be a“Celebration of Life”with a visitation for family and friends this Wednesday, Nov 18 from 5:30 - 7 p.m. with a Ceremony at 7 p.m. at McLaughlin Funeral Home, 17 Chestnut Ave. SE, in Fort Walton Beach.

Initially it was reported that Lee fled in a dark gray Lexus south on Highway 87. However, District 4 deputies pursued the vehicle north on Highway 87 and on to Interstate 10. They eventually lost the vehicle. The Lexus was later found abandoned in Okaloosa County, and Lee was located and arrested. He was transferred to Santa Rosa County Jail Friday, Nov. 13 where he is being held on a $200,000 bond.
Traffic stop leads to marijuana bust By Staff Reports editor@navarrepress.com On Tuesday, Nov. 10 a Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office deputy made a traffic stop on U.S. Highway 98 at Arner the Santa Rosa County South Annex on a car with an expired tag and inoperable tail lights. According to SRSO report, when the deputy approached, he smelled a strong odor of marijuana emanating from the driver’s side window. The driver, 18-year-old Zachary Arner, was asked if he had any illegal substances in the vehicle, to which he said,“No.” The deputy then requested Arner and his passenger step out of the vehicle so he could search it. The deputy found a large cellophane bag containing a large sum of marijuana along with a scale. The marijuana was later weighed at 29 grams, more than 1 ounce. Arner was arrested for possession of marijuana over 20 grams and given a bond of $5,000.

Friday’s naturalization ceremony hosted at the Naval Aviation Museum welcomed 72 new Americans. In the ceremony, Judge M. Casey Rodgers said, “America is a richer place because of your stories. Your stories give us strength.”
One of them, Morgan Collins of South Africa, said serving in the U.S. Navy gave him an even greater appreciation of gaining citizenship. The five received special recognition from Rogers and the audience. Also, four families were
naturalized during the ceremony. They were from Canada, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, and a couple from the United Kingdom and South Africa. Leo Day, dean of the School of Music at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and a former
Pensacola resident, sang several patriotic songs. And, has been his practice at other ceremonies, he performed some of the lyrics in languages of citizenship candidates – Spanish, German and Russian. Navy Capt. Keith Hoskins, the commander of NAS
Pensacola and a former Blue Angels commander, also addressed the group. Once the ceremony was done, the newly appointed citizens stepped forward to pose for photos with Rogers and state Circuit Judge Gary Bergosh. Their pride was evident as they displayed their
federal citizenship certificates and smiled. The ceremony, often conducted inside a federal courtroom, was held at NAS Pensacola in observance of Veteran’s Day. Sailors from the base displayed flags from all 50 states during the ceremony.
New Santa Rosa strategy to ward off stormwater By Rob Johnson rob@navarrepress.com Six years in the making with input from dozens of Santa Rosa County residents, emergency officials and engineers, the new Local Mitigation Strategy poses 45 ways to reduce the impact of flooding: from landscaping low areas for better drainage to requiring that new construction be elevated. And just in case, encourage property owners to purchase flood insurance. A draft of the new study, released earlier this week, points out that protective measures promoted in Santa Rosa County since the 1970s already save residents an estimated total of $1.1 million on flood insurance policies due to a risk rating that typically qualifies residents for a 25 percent discount. The only Florida area with a better rating—qualifying for a 30 percent discount— is Marion County, the study found. But the insurance industry offers much low-
Flooding trouble spots abound in Santa Rosa
■ 1,015 properties in the unincorporated county have filed at least two flood-related insurance claims of more than $1,000 between 1978 and 2014. ■ 311 of those have been mitigated—either through flood-protective rehabbing or, in some cases, torn down or replaced with safer structures. ■ The value of the remaining trouble spot properties is more than $305 million. ■ More than $129 million in flood insurance claims have already been paid for damaged buildings known to be at risk ■ More than $18 million in claims have already been paid for damage to the contents of those buildings. Source: Santa Rosa County Local Mitigation Strategy Report and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

More federal help What’s more, when communities organize to safeguard themselves through actions such as those detailed in the county’s new strategic plan, Federal Emergency Management Agency grants and technical assistance are available to help with the cost. County officials, including the commissioners and
the volunteer Planning and Zoning Board, can help by monitoring and guiding residential and commercial development. “We can’t restrict property owners at the beach from building there, which can expose them to hazards,” said Michael Schmidt, assistant county engineer and a member of the task force that produced the report. “We can monitor and implement guidelines for minimum elevation”of structures’ first floors, Schmidt said. But the bottom line for reducing flood risk is shared
awareness and responsibility by the government, private developers and property owners, the report stresses:“A flood hazard area may or may not have flood problems. Flooding is viewed as a natural and even beneficial occurrence. A floodplain is only a problem if human development gets in the way of, or exacerbates, the natural flooding.” Pinpointing risk areas Indeed, the study pointed out,“If a flood struck vacant land, there would not be much cause for concern, but because the coun-
ty has more than 159,785 residents and thousands of homes, businesses and critical facilities, the potential for damage can be high.” The report mentioned several areas where flood vulnerability is well-known, including along the Escambia River near Pace, along Interstate 10 near Escambia Bay and the City of Gulf Breeze. Those vulnerable areas contain significant population. Of the 8,157 structures located in unincorporated Santa Rosa County that the report identified as a risk to flooding, 5,836 are singlefamily houses, 1,380 are multifamily dwellings and 258 are mobile homes, according to the report. The draft version of the report is available through Santa Rosa County’s Special Projects and Grants Office from director Sheila Fitzgerald at sheilaf@santarosa.fl.gov. Fitzgerald said a public meeting to share the document and its research will be scheduled in January, when feedback is requested.

While mulch-covered surfaces are mentioned, the Zoning Board voted to require the Auto Depot’s owners to work with the county’s development services staff to reach a mutually acceptable compromise—some kind of semi-impervious covering. Possible solutions weren’t discussed in detail although one Zoning Board member suggested crushed lava rock. But whatever the compromise might be, Pike said, it must be less expensive than traditional paving, which he said would be unaffordable and impractical for the small business. “I don’t want a 60-car lot. That’s too much,”said Pike, who added,“We wash the cars and clean the toilets,”among other daily chores. Thus the Zoning Board tabled Auto Depot’s request for a larger parking lot until its meeting on Jan.14.Separately,the panel granted conditional-use permission for the business to sell more than the originally allowed six vehicles. But what they will be parked on remains undecided.
By Staff Reports editor@navarrepress.com Christopher Alexander Lindsay of Navarre was stopped by Gulf Breeze Police for an expired tag on Lindsay Sunday, Nov. 15. The police report filed says that when the officer asked for Lindsay’s driver license, he said he didn’t have it. Through a system check, the officer discovered that Lindsay’s license was revoked for 60 months in 2013 for being a habitual traffic offender. He was placed under arrest for driving while his license is suspended.The officer summoned a towing company and inventoried the car. Among the items found in the vehicle were two weapons,
a 12-inch expandable baton underneath the driver’s seat, and a tactical switch-operated knife under the driver’s floor mat. Other items recovered were a smoking pipe, digital scale, a container with what tested positive for methamphetamine, two small pills believed to be Ecstasy, approximately 1 gram of marijuana, and a bag with residue that tested positive for cocaine. Because of the amount of small baggies, the scale, weapons and the variety of narcotics, Lindsay was charged with intent to sell on each of the drug charges. He was also charged with possession of a concealed weapon by a convicted felon and for refusing to surrender a driver’s license that had been revoked. He was transported to the Santa Rosa County Jail where he is being held on a $72,500 bond.

Courthouse
Continued from page 1A
“It should be off the board,” Cole said when he formally proposed to reject the Pine Street site. Salter seconded the motion, which was later withdrawn. Officials have said the county has long outgrown the courthouse in Milton, with many related offices housed elsewhere. But efforts to select a location for the new facility have proven elusive and controversial. Rob Williamson proposed the Pine Street site after meeting with Milton city officials. During a committee meeting Nov. 9, he urged a quick vote and said he would accept the outcome. Commissioners are scheduled to hold committee meetings Dec. 7 and meet as a board Dec. 10. Although the courthouse site wasn’t settled, commissioners unanimously agreed to promote Lynchard, vicechairman during 2015, as the panel’s new chairman. The vote had immediate effect as Salter handed him Lynchard the gavel. Jayer Williamson was named vice-chairman, also without dissent. “I don’t know if this is a blessing or a curse,” Williamson said after the vote. Commissioners praised Salter’s leadership and accomplishments for the county during his term. Lynchard, however, specified at least one change. “We will be instituting a play clock for Commissioner Rob Williamson,” he said in reference to the commissioner’s lengthy discourses during meetings. In other business, commissioners:

Courthouse Chronology Feb. 18, 1842 – Santa Rosa County is established, about three years before Florida officially becomes a state in 1845. Milton is designated the county seat.The county’s commissioners met at a Milton church during construction of the first county courthouse, which is a wooden structure built on Berryhill Street. July 13, 1869 – Fire destroys the courthouse, as well as many important and historic documents. 1877 – A new multistory brick courthouse is constructed in Milton at the intersection of Willing and Caroline Streets. 1914 – The courthouse is deemed unsafe for use. However, officials are unable to agree on a plan to replace it for several years. July 4, 1927 – The county’s third courthouse is dedicated. The courthouse was built for a cost of $137,000 on the same parcel of land as the facility it replaced. The new courthouse is a three-story brick structure, with the top floor housing a jail and living quarters for the sheriff. 1960s – The courthouse is modified. Crews remove the top floor and the sheriff’s office and jail are relocated in a new building behind the courthouse. Also, twostory wings are added to the building’s east and west for more office space. 1993 –Voters approve a temporary sales tax to pay for construction of a new jail and sheriff’s office in East Milton. 2002 – Voters reject a proposed temporary sales tax proposed to pay for construction of a new courthouse and the expansion of the South Santa Rosa Service Center near Navarre. Proponents say
the courthouse is in poor condition and too small. 2009 – Modular buildings are installed behind the courthouse for use as offices. 2011 – A lawsuit is filed against the county, claiming the courthouse violates the Americans with Disabilities Act. June 2014 – Commissioners agree to ask voters to approve a temporary sales tax to pay for construction of a new courthouse. Also, voters will choose from three options for a location. The choices are Pea Ridge, East Milton and downtown Milton. Nov. 4, 2014 –Voters again reject a proposed temporary sales tax to pay for construction of a new courthouse. Downtown Milton finishes first in a referendum on where the courthouse should be located. February 2015 – Commissioners agree to try a third time to pass a temporary sales tax to build a new courthouse during the 2016 election cycle to avoid the cost of a special election. October 2015 – The courthouse site debate begins a new chapter when District 4 Commissioner Rob Williamson, after meeting with Milton city officials, proposes the new judicial facility be built on Pine Street in Milton. Williamson acknowledges the site is next to railroad tracks and Milton’s sewage treatment plant and also has poor drainage, but says these issues can be overcome through design and construction. November 2015 – Commissioners come close to rejecting the Pine Street site 3-2 but postpone a decision until December.
Man dressed as clown steals drugs By Staff Reports editor@navarrepress.com On Oct. 28, Pensacola Police Department officers were dispatched to Select Specialty Hospital in Pensacola in Sweeney response to a report of a burglary in which narcotics were stolen. The report states the narcotics were reported missing at 8:45 a.m. and had last been seen at 6:55 p.m. the previous evening. The narcotics had been removed from a secure locked wall box near the nurses’ station. The box had been pried open near the lock. An employee provided the deputy with an inventory of the missing items: 13 vials of Dilaudid (2 mg.); 18 vials of morphine (5 mg.); 19 Fentanyl (100 mcg.); 18 vials Versed (2 mg.); four vials Zofran (4 mg.); and two vials of spinal lidocaine (0.4 mg.). The hospital was able to provide video of the possible suspect. According to the report, the video showed an unknown vehicle pulling into the parking lot with only one occupant exiting the vehicle and walking toward the main entrance of the building. The male on the video was identified by hospital staff as Michael Sweeney of Gulf Breeze. He was positively identified by the deputy, using his Driver and Vehicle Information Database (DAVID Photo). In the video, Sweeney was seen carrying a dark-colored duffel bag, wearing a short-sleeved green scrub shirt, blue jeans and dark-colored slip-on shoes. Later in the video, the report says a man wearing a clown mask with long orange hair is seen exiting the building via an employee exit. The man in the clown mask was wearing a long-sleeved green shirt, green scrub pants which revealed his blue jeans underneath, and surgical booties covering the
dark shoes and purple medical gloves. He was carrying a green tote bag and was holding a crow bar. The deputy reports that in the video, Sweeney removes the clown mask just outside of the camera’s view and is then observed walking and carry-
ing the green tote bag. Sweeney is observed getting into the vehicle and exiting the vehicle in the original clothing. He is observed on video walking back to the building, reappearing a short time later and leaving in the vehicle. Sweeney was arrested Tuesday, Nov. 10
and faces charges of property damage under $200, burglary –theft of a controlled substance, possession of burglary tools with intent to use, and larceny – grand theft of a controlled substance. His bond was set at $30,250. A Dec. 3 court date has been set.

Thought for Today: "You can always tell gifted and highly intelligent people as they always turn to the past. Any young person who knows anything that happened before 1980, or 1990, or 2000 for that matter, is immediately someone who is intelligent, probably creative, maybe a writer. Nobody who is drawn to the past and learning about the past is not gifted." — Mike Nichols (1931-2014).

More substitute teachers sought in Santa Rosa
By Rob Johnson rob@navarrepress.com
The pool of substitute teachers available for temporary classroom assignments in Santa Rosa County public schools has grown to more than 500 from about 350 since August, when a private staffing company took over their recruitment and training. Yet dozens more qualified instructors are being sought to fill the need for an average of nearly 1,100 substitutes a week in the district,
or about 220 per day, accord- substitutes in about 500 ing to Henry Bledsoe, pres- school districts in four states. Santa Rosa ident of Michigan- Substitute teachers School Superintendent Tim based Pro- wanted Wyrosdick told f e s s i o n a l ■ How: Apply online at: the Navarre Education www.subpass.com (soon Press recently S e r v i c e s changing to mypesg.com) Group. ■ Where: Temporary openings that one of his “We have at most of the 33 public schools goals in signing a three-year conabout 100 in in Santa Rosa County tract with PESG our training ■ Pay: $10.97 an hour for is to expand the pipeline to applicants with four-year pool of substimeet our degrees; $9.22 for two-year degrees tutes for the certification requirements, which are very vacancy rate of 5 to 15 perstrenuous,” said Bledsoe, cent of the district’s 1,875 fullwhose company provides time teachers in 33 schools.
Wyrosdick’s goal is to eventually have about 600 substitute candidates available when PESG begins phoning them at 5 a.m. to fill openings on a given day, many of them becoming known only overnight. Making the jobs more attractive Bledsoe said in a phone interview that PESG is trying to sweeten the opportunities for substitutes by offering them the chance to purchase health insurance and with training that can streamline the way to certi-
fication for full-time teaching jobs. “If you would want to be considered for a full-time job with the school district, we’re the best access,”Bledsoe said. He said PESG is gradually implementing a 10-hour training program that includes online instruction and classroom participation. Achieving a passing grade in that course results in a daily bonus of $5 for the substitutes, who under the new system are PESG employees. Their hourly pay rate
remains the same as it was last year when the school district handled their administrative responsibilities: $10.97 for those with fouryear degrees and $9.22 for two-year degrees. To be sure, the staffing company’s services with filling vacancies, beefing up training and handling administrative tasks involving substitutes come at a price: an increase of 19 percent to nearly $2 million during the current school year, according to the district’s estimate.

Military Briefs City of Pensacola and Boots Up announce partnership to support veterans in transition The City of Pensacola and Boots Up, announced a new collaborative effort to assist veterans recently separated from the military. Boots Up is a notfor-profit 501(c)(3) whose goal is to guide veterans in transition to civilian life with the level and quality of support and training that they received while in service. City officials decided to partner with the veterans service organization after Mark Harden, Master Chief, USN (Ret), and Chief Advisor and Trustee to this new veterans service organization reached out to explore a potential partnership. Harden currently works as Director of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society in Pensacola. At no cost to the veteran, Boots Up acts as executive coaches and advocates for recently discharged veterans. Boots Up along with their sponsors and partners, walk veterans through the steps that will lead them to gainful employment by supplying a dress-for-success suit, interviewing, additional education, networking, authoring resumes and community involvement. Boots Up builds a bridge that allows our veterans to reintegrate with our community. This partnership with the City of Pensacola will connect recently discharged veterans with City mentorships and internships. To learn more about Boots Up you can visit them online at www.bootsup.us. “Human Potential: A State of Mind” Edward Hubbard, a retired Air Force colonel and former Prisoner of War, will speak on “Human Potential: A State of Mind” at the monthly Panhandle Tiger Bay Club meeting at 11:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 20, at New World Landing. During the Vietnam War, Col. Hubbard survived six years, seven months, and 12 days of captivity in the Hanoi Hilton and the Zoo, both of which were notorious POW camps in North Vietnam. After a 28year career, Col. Hubbard retired from the Air Force in 1990 and is an acknowledged motivational speaker, management consultant, artist, and author. His book, "Escape from the Box: The Wonder of Human Potential," was published in January 1994. The public is invited to the lunch meeting. All persons with a valid Military ID (active duty, reserve, civilian DOD employee, retiree or dependent) will get a discounted guest luncheon rate of $20. Students with a current ID pay $20. Regular guest fees for the monthly luncheons are $35.

Air Commandos participate in exercise Ultimate Archer By Airman Kai White 1st Special Operations Wing Hurburt Field, Fla. -- The 1st Special Operations Wing returned this week from an exercise at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. Ultimate Archer was an exercise designed to test the capabilities of the 1st SOW units in a deployed environment and make improvements to existing procedures when available. "What we want to do when we land [deploy] is hit the ground running," said Master Sgt. Ian Cabral, Ultimate Archer MC-130H Combat Talon II production superintendent of aircraft maintenance. "This is a chance for us to iron out the wrinkles in our procedures to make that happen." Improving those procedures started with the basics and a crawl, walk, run strategy. For many airmen who attended Ultimate Archer the exercise doubled as predeployment training, putting them in new surroundings with new missions and new complications that can't be encountered at home. "We're getting guys outside of home station training, out of just unilateral training," said Maj. Dwight Jones, 1st SOW theater plans chief. "Then combining and integrating training, so it ramps up the training level and better prepares our guys

The exercise allowed airmen to perform their various specialized duties in a simulated expeditionary environment outside of their home stations. for how we execute real world in a deployed environment." Aircrews began with orientation flights before expanding to full mission profiles. Later in the week they began working with external units such as the 388th Fighter Wing and 19th Special Forces Group. "One thing we get to do with this exercise is planning with the ground user, so the 19th Special Forces Group, F-16 Fighting Falcons and AH-64 Apaches," said Jones. "We routinely find ourselves in air stacks with those players, but hardly ever get to practice with them.”
According to Jones, the ability to plan the day prior, then go out and execute a mission, return and debrief, is going to help develop better practices and learn lessons for the future. In addition to working with these external units on a tactical level, the airmen planning and coordinating missions were able to gain experience within a Joint Operations Center. Jones says this will help them understand how a JOC operates and what would be expected of them while working in a deployed situation. A large focus of Ultimate Archer was running the JOC
and how the staff of the Joint Special Operations Air Detachment operates and plans out missions. "The JSOAD is not a new concept, but it is one that we have identified inside the 1st SOW and really in Air Force Special Operations Command as being important," said Lt. Col. Aaron Ffrench, JSOAD commander. "We do very good at training aircrew and giving maintainers opportunities to turn wrenches and get aircraft going, but the command and control structure that the JSOAD provides is not exercised nearly enough." As flight and mission hours increased through the
exercise, so did the team’s cohesion, according to Ffrench. "When last night happened [final scenario] you could see the motions take place," Ffrench said. "You could see staff working, all the different entities, whether it was an operator, whether it was current ops, or intel or even a support agency. They all came together for what we needed to do, the aircrew and everybody outside flying knew what to do, when to do it and really how to do it. It went very well." Hurlburt took eight weapons platforms to Hill AFB, three CV-22B Ospreys, two MC-130H Combat Talon IIs, two U-28As, and an AC130U Spooky Gunship. "The ultimate objective here was to give us, the 1st SOW, an opportunity to advance our training, to figure out a way to improve what we do on a daily basis," Ffrench said. "We did that by getting out of the flatlands of Florida and into the mountains and cold, where aircraft and people respond differently in these different environments. We should not wait until we are in overseas locations to learn what a different environment does to us. I think we got that just by leaving Hurlburt and doing something a little more complex with a set scenario. I'm pretty happy to say that I think we accomplished what we needed to."

UC-San Diego's new Robotics Institute aims to help people age at home By California Healthline San Diego -- UC-San Diego researchers are working to develop robots that can listen, speak and react to human needs. Earlier this month, the university launched its Contextual Robotics Institute, a multidisciplinary effort to develop robotic technology with artificial intelligence that can be used to help the country's growing elderly population "age in place." Rajesh Gupta, professor and chair of the computer science and engineering department at UC-San Diego, said the new institute's work is unique in that it draws heavily on cognitive sciences with the goal of developing robots that can read emotions and respond to people more like humans. The field of robotics is growing at a rapid pace. Universities and technology companies are working on selfdriving cars, robots that can clean hotel rooms and a wide range of other robotic applications. Until now, Gupta said, robotics has focused primarily on mechanical functions, such as driving, flying, or manufacturing. "So, all robotics in the past have been with machines that have stiff joints, things which are mechanically strong," he said. "When it comes to interaction with humans, most robotic machines are too stiff or too autistic.They don't real-

As our country ages, the needs of older adults wanting to remain independent and at home multiply. Business opportunities for researchers and entrepreneurs in this arena abound. ly make a distinction between what you're thinking or feeling," Gupta said. UC-San Diego's new institute will bring together experts in the fields of engineering, computer and social sciences to develop machines that Gupta said will be able to recognize their environment, understand the context of a situation and synthesize the information to take the appropriate action. To be useful in a home setting, he said, "The robot has to be able to sense things, not necessarily be told to do everything." The Graying of America The country is aging fast. Each day in the U.S., 10,000 people turn 65. By the year 2030, 18 percent of the nation will be at least 65 years old, according to population pro-
jections by the U.S. Census Bureau. What's more, a recent study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that one in 20 people over the age of 65 is homebound in the U.S. As our country ages, the needs of older adults interested in remaining independent and at home multiply. So too do the business opportunities for researchers and entrepreneurs creating products and services that can monitor and even treat health issues at home. As a result, robotics and other technologies for older adults and their caretakers is a rapidly growing field. A recent report by AARP found that the sum of all economic activity serving the needs of Americans over age 50 -- known as the "longevity economy" -- represents
more than $7 trillion, a number expected to reach well over $13.5 trillion by 2032. Promising potential for robots in health care Using robots for health care purposes is already a reality. For example, In Touch Health offers an advanced stroke diagnostic tool that can be attached to a robot that travels to patient rooms, analyzes charts and talks to the patient while a physician may be sitting somewhere else. "It is so effective that last year, this company did 70,000 stroke treatments. That is 10 times more than any hospital system," Gupta said of the technology. This year's Consumer Electronic Show unveiled home health care exoskeletons -wearable robots -- that help people to stand and walk.
Robotic technologies that can interact with older adults and function as stand-in companions have been developed, with some in use. Other robots are able to speak to people and help them remember to take medications and other treatments necessary to maintain their health. "There are a lot of innovations in [robotics], but whether or not they're likely to be widely used generally comes down to price, functionality and service," said Laurie Orlov, an aging-in-place technology expert and founder of the Aging in Place Technology Watch blog and market research firm Boomer Health Tech Watch. "A lot of the robotic stuff that got invented early on was very expensive," she said. Other technologies developed to help people age in place show promise, said Stephen Johnston, co-founder of Aging 2.0, a global network that brings start-ups and innovations to senior care. For example, home sensors placed in "smart homes" are currently used to monitor eating habits, sleep and wake times. Often, they relay information back to a hub, and notices can be sent to loved ones by smartphone applications. "For me, the smart home has the advantage that you don't have to be wearing things, especially for older people with delicate skin or who are forgetful," Johnston said. Wearable technologies such as Fitbit and Jawbone that are primarily used to track sleep and activity could be very useful for older adults if designed properly, experts said. But a recent report by AARP of people over the age of 50 found
that while most reported the trackers were useful, many people stopped using them because the data were inaccurate, or the devices were difficult or uncomfortable to use. "The people who will benefit the most from wearables are the least likely to be marketed to," Johnston said. Companies more commonly target 25-year old athletes, he said. "But really it's the 85year old with dementia and obesity that most needs it." Johnston says good design and developing products that people aspire to own will ultimately be the key to consumers' long-term engagement with technology. "It's about moving away from the negative connotations around health care-driven ugly white boxes that are telegraphing the incapacity and frailty," he said. Future of Tech and Aging The markets for products aimed at helping people age in place are still fairly nascent, experts say. And there are many challenges ahead for the industry. People may resist tools that monitor their activity and send the information back to loved ones, or robots that interpret their emotions by reading facial expressions. Connected technology also raises significant privacy concerns. And, despite all the activity in senior care, experts say there are no break-out products dedicated to helping people age in place. Still, Johnston said he's bullish on the market and sees venture capital firms beginning to invest heavily in this space. "Next year there will be break-out growth."
Medicare spending $9B on hepatitis C drugs By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press Washington (AP) — Medicare spending on breakthrough medications for hepatitis C will nearly double this year, passing $9 billion, according to new government figures. That's raising insurance costs for all beneficiaries, whether or not they have the liver-wasting viral disease. The price of drugs is the public's top health care concern in opinion polls, and the 2016 presidential candidates are increasingly paying attention. The federal Department of Health and Human Services will hold a public forum next week to examine the high cost of new drugs for difficult diseases. The challenge: how to reward drug company research while keeping innovative medications affordable for patients, insurers, employers and gov-
ernment programs. New cost estimates indicate that Medicare's popular prescription drug program will spend $9.2 billion on hepatitis C drugs this year, a 96 percent increase from $4.7 billion in 2014. That works out to nearly 7 percent of drug costs for all of Part D, as the program is known. The Associated Press requested the numbers from Medicare's Office of the Chief Actuary, a unit that handles economic analysis. Hepatitis C affects some 3 million people in the U.S. and claims more lives here than AIDS. More than three out of four infected adults are baby boomers, the age group now entering Medicare. It's primarily spread by contact with infected blood. Patients say "hep C" feels like a bad flu that never goes away. While the disease advances gradually, it can ultimately destroy the liver,
requiring a transplant to save the patient's life. The new drugs cure the disease but treatment can cost from $80,000 to $100,000. Medicare's economic analysts say hepatitis drugs have become one of the main cost drivers for the prescription program. Without the hepatitis C medications, costs per beneficiary would have risen by 4.6 percent this year. Instead the growth rate will be considerably higher, 7.9 percent. The pressure is expected to ease next year, partly due to competition from more medications entering the market. In addition, rebates expected from drug manufacturers should reduce Medicare's ultimate costs, but the amount of those won't be known for months. Meanwhile, Medicare beneficiaries will face rising premiums and deductibles. Because Medicare prescription benefits are deliv-
ered through private insurance companies, it's difficult to tease out the effect on premiums. But another indicator called the Part D deductible gives a general idea. A deductible is the amount of drug costs that beneficiaries are responsible for each year before their insurance kicks in. In 2016, the prescription program's standard deductible is going up by $40, to $360. It's by far the largest increase in the deductible since the inception of Part D 10 years ago. Tricia Neuman of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation says the cost of new medications has been "a sleeper issue" for Medicare, but that's about to change. "This increase already seems to be having an impact on premiums and deductibles," Neuman said. "We also have anti-cholesterol drugs that are coming on the market."
Previous treatments for hepatitis C were hit and miss, and many patients couldn't tolerate the side effects. With new drugs like Harvoni and Viekira Pak, patients finally have a choice among highly effective cures with minimal side effects. But the costs are straining government programs and private insurers alike. Some private insurers and state Medicaid programs require that patients show signs of advanced liver disease before trying the new drugs. Medicare, following the advice of doctors' groups, does not impose such restrictions. "If you think about it, these are really drugs that can prevent liver disease," said Sean Cavanaugh, deputy director for Medicare with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. "We felt it was most appropriate to allow patients to have them earlier."

Vatican scandal heats up with revelations of greed, intrigue By Nicole Winfield Associated Press Two new books are deepening aVatican scandal with tales of mismanagement and greed, such as sainthood causes that can cost up to a halfmillion dollars and a monsignor allegedly breaking down the wall of his nextdoor neighbor — a sick, elderly priest — to expand his already palatial apartment. Pope Francis has made it a top priority to reform the Vatican bureaucracy known as the Curia, a hive of intrigue and gossip. He appointed a commission of eight experts in 2013 to gather information and make recommendations after an earlier expose helped drive his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, to a historic resignation. The leaks in the new books are seen as part of a bitter internal struggle between the reformers and the old guard. This week, theVatican arrested two former members of the commission in an investigation into stolen documents. A new book by journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi makes some startling allegations, including a report thatVatican "postulators" — officials who promote sainthood causes — bring in hundreds of thousands of euros in donations for their causes but are subject to no oversight as to how the money is spent. In his book "Merchants in the Temple," obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press two days ahead of publication, Nuzzi estimates the average price tag for a beatification cause at around 500,000 euros ($550,000) — and some have gone as high as 750,000 euros ($822,000). Causes of saintly candidates who don't inspire rich donors can languish. He also recounts a tale involving Monsignor Giuseppe Sciacca, a top offi-

Pope Francis delivers his message during a mass at the Vatican's Santa Marta hotel, Friday, Nov. 6, 2015. The pontiff says it is "sad" when bishops and priests are "attached to money" and to advancing their careers, in his first public comments following the latest leaked revelations of greedy Vatican prelates resisting his efforts to reform Holy See finances and administration. Francis made the impromptu remarks during his homily Friday, apparently inspired by revelations in two new books of leaked documents and conversations. cial in the Vatican City State administration, who in 2012 apparently wanted a fancier apartment. When Sciacca's neighbor was hospitalized for a long period, Nuzzi writes, the cardinal took advantage, broke down a wall separating their residences and incorporated an extra room into his apartment, furniture and all. The elderly priest eventually came home to find his possessions in boxes. He died a short time later, the book says. Francis, who lives in a hotel room, summarily demoted Sciacca and forced him to move out. A second book by Emiliano Fittipaldi, a reporter for the L'Espresso newsmagazine also obtained by the AP on
Tuesday, details financial wrongdoing at the Vatican, citing reports by independent auditors. "Avarice," also due out Thursday, claims a foundation set up to support a children's hospital paid 200,000 euros toward the renovation of the apartment of theVatican's No. 2 at the time, Tarciso Bertone. Bertone came under fire last year over the apartment, described in the book as a "mega-penthouse," which sat ill with Francis' vision of a "poor church." Bertone has said he paid for the renovations himself. Fittipaldi also said nearly 400,000 euros donated in 2013 by churches worldwide to help the poor wound up in an off-the-books Vatican account.
The Vatican described the books as "fruit of a grave betrayal of the trust given by the pope, and, as far as the authors go, of an operation to take advantage of a gravely illicit act of handing over confidential documentation." "Publications of this nature do not help in any way to establish clarity and truth, but rather generate confusion and partial and tendentious conclusions," theVatican said in a statement. The books, and this week's arrests, mark a new phase in the "Vatileaks" scandal. The saga began in 2012 with an earlier Nuzzi expose, peaked with the conviction of Benedict's butler on charges he supplied Nuzzi with stolen documents, and ended a year later when a clearly exhaust-
ed Benedict resigned. Nuzzi's new book is written from the perspective of the reform commission, whose archives were supposed to remain top secret. It focuses on the resistance the commission encountered in getting information out of Vatican departments that have long enjoyed near-complete autonomy in budgeting, hiring and spending. "Holy Father, ... There is a complete absence of transparency in the bookkeeping both of the Holy See and the Governorate," five international auditors wrote Francis in June 2013, according to Nuzzi's book. "Costs are out of control." The book says one of the commission's priorities was getting a handle on the Vat-
ican's vast real estate holdings. Nuzzi cites a commission report which found that the value of the real estate was some 2.7 billion euros (about $3 billion), seven times higher than the amount entered on the balance sheets. Rents were sometimes 30 to 100 percent below market, the commission found, including apartments given free to cardinals and bureaucrats as part of their compensation or retirement packages. The book says if market rates were applied, employees' homes would generate rental income of 19.4 million euros rather than 6.2 million euros, while other "institutional" buildings that today generate no income would bring in 30.4 million euros.
Pastafarian gets to wear strainer Music Review: Kirk Franklin shows brilliance on new album on head in license photo more harmony on the By Jonathan Landrum, Jr., Boston (AP) — A Massachusetts agency is letting a woman who belongs to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster wear a colander on her head in her driver's license photo after she cited her religious beliefs. Lowell resident Lindsay Linsay Miller Miller said Friday that she "absolutely loves the history and the story" of Pastafarians, whose website says has existed in secrecy for hundreds of years and entered the mainstream in 2005.
Miller says wearing the spaghetti strainer allows her to express her beliefs, like other religions are allowed to do.

SPORTS Raiders knocked out of playoffs
Tate stuns Raiders
Photos by Dickie Williams
Tate made it tough going for Raider running back Hasaan Williams, 14, but he did rush for 196 yards and 2 touchdowns in Navarre’s season-ending loss to the Aggies Friday night.
“It’s tough to go through an unbeaten season and get beat in the first round. But our kids did everything we asked of them this year. They did a great job all year.” –Jay Walls Thomas Leggett, 1, makes a great play on a Tate receiver.
Hasaan Williams, 14, takes a Tate player for a ride. By Brian Lester brian@navarrepress.com Some players wore looks of shock as they walked off the field Friday night. Others cried. Fans absorbed the loss in similar fashion. Friday night was supposed to be the start of a special 6A playoff run for Navarre’s football team after the first unbeaten regular season in school history. Instead, on a chilly November night at Bennett C. Russell Stadium, the No. 3 Raiders saw their dreams of a championship come crashing down in a gut-wrenching 23-22 double overtime loss to Tate. “We had opportunities and we competed the whole game. I’m proud of the effort of our kids,” Navarre head coach Jay Walls said. “We came up a little short. That’s the playoffs.” Navarre (10-1) nearly forced a third overtime after Sage Chambers connected with Michael Sandle on a 2-yard touchdown pass. With the crowd cheering, Saturn Wagner, playing in only his sec-
ond varsity game, lined up for the extra point. Tate (8-2) brought pressure on the kick and the ball sailed wide right. But no one can put all of the blame on the kicker. Navarre had other opportunities. The Raiders forced four turnovers but couldn’t cash in. They had a 13-7 lead with 9:23 left in regulation but failed to get a crucial stop against the Aggies, who tied the game at 1313 on a 23-yard run by Alondo Thompkins. Navarre also got the ball first in overtime but was unable to get into the end zone. It settled for a 21-yard field goal by Wagner, giving the Raiders a 16-13 advantage. Tate tied the game on a field goal of its own to force a second overtime. Thompkins scored on a 10-yard pass to give the Aggies a 23-16 lead and the Raiders quickly responded. Hope was alive
and well until the missed extra point. The players took the loss hard. “It’s sad we let everyone down,” senior Michael Sandle said.“We were so close.” The night started well for the Raiders in a stadium that was buzzing with excitement prior to kickoff. After a scoreless first quarter, Hasaan Williams put Navarre on the board with a 44-yard touchdown run with 4:01 left in the half. Williams scored again in the fourth, taking the ball on a pitch and running through a huge hole in the defense to give the Raiders a 13-7 advantage. It appeared that would be enough, especially conside r i n g Navarre’s defense had allowed
only 118 points all season. But the Aggies responded. “Tate has a great football team,” Walls said.“They played a great game. We worked hard and battled. We just came up a little short. It wasn’t our night.” Losing is never easy. But what made this loss a little more difficult to digest was that it served as the only blemish on an otherwise stellar season. The Raiders had dreams of winning a state title. That dream is on hold until next year. “It’s tough to go through an unbeaten season and get beat in the first round,”Walls said. But our kids did everything we asked of them this year. They did a great job all year.” Sandle will always cherish going 10-0 in the regular season. And while his career for the Raiders is done, he hopes the players coming back will remember how the sting of this night felt and use it as motivation for 2016. “It’s awesome to be the first team to go 10-0, but it sucks it had to end this way,”Sandle said.“I
hope the younger guys worker harder next year, in the weight room and on the field, and that they end up better than us.”

Extra Point By Brian Lester
brian@navarrepress.com A lot is going on around the local sports scene as we head into the winter months. The biggest news of course is the perfect regular season the Navarre Raiders football team put together. Perfection is rare in sports, but the Raiders capped a 100 run Nov. 6 when they drilled rival Niceville 35-13 at Bennett C. Russell Stadium. It marks the first time they have beaten the Eagles since 2012. Navarre’s success in football is no fluke. The Raiders have embraced the team concept. Head coach Jay Walls and his assistant coaches have done a tremendous job of having the team ready to play each week. In cross country, give credit to Austin Epstein. The junior earned his first trip to state earlier this month and finished 60th overall. The experience is huge for Epstein, who should come back next season poised to have an even better finish at the meet his senior season. Joshua Tilton and Sophia Tucker both made it to regionals. For Tucker, it’s the end of a stellar cross country career with the Raiders. Tilton, a junior, will be back next season. Navarre diver Bekka Boyd finished 17th at state. It was her second trip to state. She also won a district title this year. Jackie Coyne got her first look at her Navarre girls basketball team, which played in a tip-off tournament at Central and split its two games. The Raiders lost 5334 to Pace but defeated Central 53-26. Coyne brings a great deal of experience with her to Navarre, having led Lake Placid to four consecutive district titles. Coyne noted the talent here is much better and the players continue to buy into what she is teaching, success will take care of itself. The boys basketball team at Navarre should be improved as well. The Raiders feature seven seniors and head coach Taf Bentley said his players come to practice ready to work hard each day. That hard work should pay off in the long run. Emily Madril is off and running for the Navarre girls soccer team, which is hoping to make a second consecutive trip to the final four this season. Madril scored 14 goals in the first six games and is on her way to being one of the best in the state and nation again this year. The boys soccer team has been impressive as well and is hoping to make another deep postseason run this season. The Raiders won their first three games and allowed just one goal in that stretch. The sports scene won’t slow down anytime soon and you can expect more accomplishments are on the way for area athletes.

Cronin signs letter of intent with Arkansas By Brian Lester brian@navarrepress.com Matt Cronin made his commitment to Arkansas official Monday, signing his national letter of intent with the Razorbacks. The talented left-handed pitcher for the Navarre Raiders is thrilled he took that step after working hard over the years to achieve the dream of playing college baseball. “It’s been a lifelong dream of mine,”Cronin said.“It’s exciting to know I finally achieved it.” Cronin wasn’t sure where he would play when he first started the recruiting process but was sold on Arkansas after a visit to the campus. The Razorbacks, who compete in the Southeastern Conference, played in the College World Series last season. “When I got there and went to a camp I knew it was the place for me,”Cronin said. “It’s exciting knowing I’m

Matt Cronin signs his national letter of intent to play baseball for the Arkansas Razorbacks on Monday afternoon at Navarre High School. going to a great program. A lot of guys in my (graduating) class signed there. We should have a pretty good team.” Cronin helped the Raiders win a district championship
a year ago and spent his summer playing for an elite travel team out of North Carolina. He’s worked on every aspect of his game as well in order to be ready for the high school season.
“I’ve really grown as a person and a player, but I want to keep getting better,”Cronin said.“The big thing is working on my endurance and getting stronger.” Navarre head baseball
coach Scott Murphy said Cronin has improved in a lot of ways, from putting more speed on his fastball to having better control on the mound. He believes his ability to deal with pressure will
serve him well at the next level. “His composure is great,” Murphy said.“He might give up a hit or have a bad call, but it doesn’t bother him. That will be a big asset for him when he pitches in the SEC.” The possibility of playing professional baseball out of high school instead of going to college is realistic as Cronin has already received attention from pro scouts. But right now he is concentrating is on the high school season. He’ll weigh his options once that is over with. “It’s a hard thing not to think about, but my focus is on this year,”Cronin said.“We’ll see how it plays out after my high school season is over.”
Boyd caps diving career at state meet FCA Award Winners By Brian Lester brian@navarrepress.com Bekka Boyd’s focus heading into the 3A state swimming and diving meet was to advance past the first round of cuts. The Navarre senior accomplished that Friday at the Sailfish Splashpark Aquatics Center in Stuart and went on to place 17th overall with a score of 329.95. “I did a lot better than my sophomore year here,”Boyd said.“I was hoping not to get cut in the first round and I accomplished it.” Fighting nerves was a key to her success, but she was able to relax a lot more after her first dive. “It was definitely very intimidating. There were so many good divers,”Boyd said.“But I felt like my first dive was my best one and that helped me out a lot.” Boyd competed at state for the second time in her career and was coming off a postseason run where she won a district championship and finished

Raider boys soccer team getting it done at 6-1. By Bowden Moorer sports@navarrepress.com Navarre’s boys soccer team played three tough matches during six days. Each contest was decided by one goal. Unfortunately, the final one resulted in Navarre's first loss of the season. Navarre 2, Choctaw 1 Navarre hosted defending
state champion Choctaw Nov. 11. The Raiders got on the board in the 10th minute. Mat Dunham crossed a ball from deep on the left side.

Only five minutes had elapsed in the second half when Malone Doughty made
a backwards pass with his heel to Baily Bridges. Bridges converted and Navarre led 2-0. Choctaw avoided the shutout when Austin Castelin blasted a shot from about 30 yards out that found the top corner of the net. The Raider defense thwarted the Indians the rest of the way to preserve the win and improve to 4-0.

Visitors at Fort Pickens had an opportunity to take a trip back in time on a cool but sunny Saturday morning. The historic military installation along the Gulf Islands National Seashore was made to look as though it would have during the Civil War era. Several tents were set up and Civil War re-enactors were dressed in Union Army uniforms and representing Third U.S. Company C – an actual unit stationed at the fort during the war. A fire was going for warmth, backpacks were laid out on the ground and guns were leaned up against a pole. It was all part of the Living History program that Gulf Islands National Seashore sites will put on throughout the year. “We do these every once in a while and it gives visitors a chance to experience what life was like inside the fort during the Civil War,”said Sandra Tennyson, the Resource Education Operations supervisor for Gulf Islands National Seashore.“It’s a great program.” John Mertins has been involved with Civil War era reenactments for about six years now and said coming to Fort Pickens is one of his favorite places to go. “This was an actual Civ-

Santa Rosa County An FWC officer received information about a male subject who had trespassed onto a hunting lease. While the subject was walking thru a food plot, a trail camera took several pictures of him. The subject returned to the food plot approximately 20 minutes later and began removing the camera from the tree. He was unaware that his actions were still being captured on camera. The subject then took the camera to his residence and placed it inside of his shed. The owner of the camera contacted the officer and showed him the pictures of the male subject. The officer identified the subject and located his residence. After several unsuccessful attempts to contact the subject, the officer waited in a concealed location until he observed the subject arriving home. The officer made contact with the subject and began interviewing him. The subject first denied any wrongdoing, but

This particular black bear has been documented as aggressive and has lost his natural fear of humans. An officer safely discharged his bear-hazing shotgun with two bore thunder shots. The bear retreated back into the Eglin Reservation property. The FWC Bear Management Section has placed traps to capture the bear safely.

NAVARRE BEACH One little girl’s hope to make a difference By Gail Acosta editor@navarrepress.com
Wish List:
For most families, Christmas mornings are spent gathered around the Christmas tree opening presents. And for some little ones it is the thrill of opening the mysterious packages, looking at the gift, tossing it aside and moving on to the next one. Some of the toys lose their excitement factor after just a couple days. For the Sanders family of Navarre who had seen such occasions, it was time to implement something new for their daughters that many families are trying out: the 4 Gift Rule. Nevaeh is 6 years old and she has a little sister, Ariyah who is almost 2. Their mother Amanda knew that the tree would still be full with gifts from grandparents and other family members, but felt it was important to instill in their daughters that the holiday wasn’t about presents alone. “When we told our children we were making the change, Nevaeh immediately wondered what Santa would do with all of the extra toys she normally gets,”Amanda said.“Then she asked if he could take all of her extra toys to other kids who are either sick or who don’t have a lot.” Nevaeh wanted to enlist Santa’s help right away on the project along with other families to collect toys. “Nevaeh has always been our sensitive one, our kind-hearted one who always looks for others to comfort,”Amanda said. When Nevaeh was 4, her little sister had open heart surgery when she was just 4 months old. While the surgery was performed in Atlanta, the family has spent time at The Children’s Hospital at Sacred Heart for before-and-after care. “I think that is why she chose to collect toys for sick children,”Amanda said. Her parents have most assuredly led their daughters by example. Her dad Tory is retired from the Air Force and her mom has taught her about volunteer work. Amanda has been volunteering with the Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center since 2013. She organized the first beach clean-up and Nevaeh was by her side helping. Together they taught her that one person does make a difference. “We are so proud of her. It is really heartwarming to know she wants to do this,”Amanda said. The Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center is teaming up with the Sanders to help Nevaeh get more toys delivered. Since their building is not yet open, they have arranged for several drop-off locations including Consolidated Ace Hardware at 8188 Navarre Parkway, JJ Chago’s at 8476 Navarre Parkway, Navarre Lumber & Supply at 2013 Highway 87, Century 21 IslandView Realty at 8510 Navarre Parkway and Foxy Boutique at 1820-1822 Alpine Ave. For the health and well-being of the children at Sacred Heart, a wish list has been provided of toys that can be accepted. The items must be new, toys must be washable (plastic or wood), and not toys with violent themes. The last day to drop off toys is Dec. 12. The toys will then be collected and delivered to Sacred Heart.

LIVING Free health insurance marketplace application assistance By Staff Reports editor@navarrepress.com Santa Rosa Medical Center is offering community residents free help with evaluating insurance options and enrolling on the Marketplace. “Open enrollment”—the annual three-month period during which Americans can comparison shop and purchase healthcare coverage on the government’s Health Insurance Marketplace— began Nov. 1 and will end Jan. 21, 2016. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services among 11 - 14 million consumers will purchase 2016 coverage
through the Marketplace, and most will qualify for financial assistance. HHS relays that 7 out of 10 returning customers will be able to buy a health plan and pay less than $75 for monthly premiums—which is the monthly fee charged for coverage; eight of 10 will pay less than $100. Those figures are tied to estimates that 80 percent of individuals re-enrolling will qualify for advanced tax credits based on their projected annual income; newcomers to the Marketplace are expected to fall in the same income brackets and receive similar help. “If you’re eligible for a tax credit, the government will

send money directly to your insurance company to help pay the premium,”says Doug Sills, CEO at Santa Rosa Medical Center“So for example, instead of paying the full $350 monthly cost, you might pay $50 or $75 a month.” Penalties for not having health insurance increase significantly in 2016 and will be assessed when 2016 federal tax returns are filed. Fines are $695 per adult, $347.50 per child, and up to $2,085 per family or 2.5 percent of family income—whichever is higher. The penalties are expected to drive many newcomers to the Marketplace, as most individuals must choose between paying a pre-
mium and paying a fine. “Individuals who don’t have insurance or who need to reenroll have nothing to lose and everything to gain by evaluating their options,”Sills says.“You may discover you qualify for Medicaid, tax credits or another type of discount. The goal is to find a plan that best matches your specific health needs and finances.” The purpose of the Health Insurance Marketplace is to offer all U.S. citizens access to affordable health plans that offer comprehensive benefits. To help make health insurance affordable, the government uses household income to determine who is eligible for financial assistance. This
assistance might include advanced tax credits to help pay for premiums, or discounts on co-pays and deductibles—which are additional costs related to specific healthcare purchases. Some of the mandatory benefits included in all Marketplace plans include doctor visits, prescription drugs, hospital and emergency department care, lab services, pediatric care, and free preventive and wellness services. Coverage cannot be denied for individuals with a pre-existing health condition. “If you are eligible for health insurance but do not purchase coverage, not only will you pay a penalty when fil-
ing your tax return, but you will also lose out on financial help with your healthcare expenses throughout the year,” Sills says.“Our assisters can help you shop the Marketplace to find a plan that meets your needs.” For those who pay their insurance premium by Dec. 15, insurance coverage begins Jan. 1, 2016. Premiums paid by Jan. 15, 2016, results in coverage by Feb. 1, 2016, and premiums paid by Jan.21, 2016, guarantees coverage beginning March 1, 2016. Appointments can be made to evaluate your insurance options with the help of certified assisters, by calling 850626-5075.
Can You Prevent Diabetes? By Bev Bennett CTW Features When a physician returns a diagnosis of pre-diabetes, that should inspire patients to take immediate action. Too many times, though, the message is ignored. “Really, most people don’t care,”says Dr. Leon Camilo Uribe, West Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.“It’s amazing to me.That’s a serious concern.” Almost 40 percent of American adults have prediabetes, which means they have elevated blood sugar levels that, if left untreated, could lead to the development of diabetes. Most of those cases are Type 2 diabetes, which is linked to poor diet and sedentary lifestyles. The standard advice to eat less, to lose weight and to get more exercise may not be enough, say healthcare experts. Personalized diet strategies – even those that contradict conventional wisdom – along with education, goal setting and accountability can mean the difference between ignoring health warnings and taking action, according to physicians. Motivation is a big factor in successful weight loss, says Dr.Todd Burstain, chief medical officer, Tulane Medical Center, New Orleans, La. However, it’s more effective if patients have their own goals and aren’t only responding to feedback from others. It’s also essential that patients believe they can achieve suc-
cess, according to Burstain. “It doesn’t matter if it’s superficial,”he says.“It can be fitting into a size 10.” In counseling, Burstain asks patients to make a list of five things they want to do. For those who are overweight but don’t have diabetes, their weight puts them at risk.You can cut that risk with weight loss, according to Burstain. Becoming informed also helps people lose weight. Uribe often initiates a conversation with his patients. “I’m the one to get people thinking about this,”he says. Often his patients think it’s “no big deal”to have high blood glucose (sugar) levels. He’s the one who explains
that pre-diabetes could lead to the full-blown disease with complications that could include damage to one’s heart, kidneys and liver. “Once you explain that it’s not that complicated to take care of it, they do,”says Uribe, who specializes in family and sports medicine, and is a member of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine. This may be especially true now that he’s given up on telling patients to count calories.“I can put patients on a 1,000 calories a day but that doesn’t mean anything if it’s three doughnuts a day.There’s no nutrition in a doughnut,” the Florida physician says. Instead he tells patients,
“This is the core of meals: fruits, vegetables and legumes.” He insists patients eat three meals a day. “If you’re skipping a meal you’ll never control your [blood] sugar,”Uribe says. His advice is designed for a lifetime of eating habits, not a short-term diet. “Make small changes in your daily eating plan,”Uribe says.“You can eat the bad stuff, but not every day.” By contrast, Burstain has his patients keep track of what they’re eating and gives them a caloric limit. The Iowa physician also tells patients to eat three meals a day, not the more frequent meal plan some prefer. “When you eat six meals a day you’re never really hungry, but you’re never really full.You should get hungry,” Burstain says. For some, eating only three meals a day makes sense and helps them to avoid diabetes. Stress and lack of sleep can also trigger overeating. To combat stress, do things that make you happy but don’t involve foods, Burstain says. “It doesn’t take long.You can listen to music for five minutes and release dopamine, but you’ve got to like it,”Burstain says. If you don’t get enough sleep, you could also be harming your health. You have to get eight hours of sleep a night, according to Burstain. © CTW Features

Food isn’t the only way to make memories this holiday season. Here’s how to get moving and have fun as a family By Bev Bennett CTW Features Pushing away from the table is not exercise. Neither is hitting the remote. Let’s face it – the long stretch of celebrations from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day is a time when many families are taking to the couch. However, if television watching or texting with friends is the extent of your activity, then it’s time to get moving, and not just for the sake of burning calories. Being physically active is a way to connect with family and friends and to have a good time. Holiday food may not be as memorable as people think. “But if you ask if you did an activity, people will remember the activities,”says Jessica Crandall, registered dietitian nutritionist at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokesperson. To motivate the family, eliminate the word “exer-

As an alternative, organize a neighborhood scavenger hunt. “It can be fun,”says Stoler, author of“Living Skinny in Fat Genes: The Healthy Way to Lose Weight and Feel Great” (Pegasus, 2011). 2. Hike a trail. Check the nearby forest preserves to see what’s available. Parks may have fitness trails you can follow. “It takes the monotony out of walking,”Stoler says. 3. Go sledding or ice skating if the weather permits. 4. Enjoy indoor sports facilities that offer family-centered activities. For Crandall, an indoor trampoline park is a family magnet. Stoler suggests adventure walls. 5.Visit a museum. Your family may be so Set aside time to: 1.

Instead, focus on fun. “Do what you enjoy,”says Felicia D. Stoler, doctor of clinical nutrition and registered dietitian nutritionist. “If you love it, you will do it with more vim and vigor and it will yield a great result,” Stoler says. “As with everything else, you have to plan in advance so activity time doesn’t vanish,” Crandall says. This might mean signing up for a turkey trot with the family, checking the hours at the local roller rink or finding a farm where you can pick apples. But even if you’ve been distracted from your goal of an outing, you can still find enjoyable, spontaneous ways to get exercise. To inspire you, here are five activities to prepare for and another five to do when the mood hits.
Spur of the moment movement: 1. Toss a football around the backyard. 2. Have a push-up or sit-up competition, or do standing push-ups while watching television. 3. Plug in a dance video and get everyone moving. 4. Play freeze tag. 5. Bring out the jump rope and see which family members can make it to 100 without stopping. And while playing catch with your children is pleasurable, you may also want a serious workout. “That’s fine,” Crandall says. “Some people are very active,” she says.“Throwing a football isn’t enough. However, even if you’re going to the gym, you want another activity that includes the family.” “When you engage everyone, you’re leading by example,” Stoler says.

Host Guests with Good Holiday Cheer (Family Features) When guests drop by unexpectedly this holiday season, keep your good cheer intact with a kitchen wellstocked for easy impromptu entertaining. Appetizers you can prepare with minimal hands-on time and simple enhancements to easy leftovers will make you a gracious, if not gourmet, host. To whip up special dishes on the fly, you’ll need a few key ingredients on hand. Most drop-in guests aren’t expecting a full meal, so plan instead for lighter fare, such as appetizers and desserts. Use these tips to get started: • Get creative with the leftovers you have on hand. Turkey can be mixed with vegetables and hummus to create a salad, sandwich or wrap to instantly transform leftover turkey into a treat so tasty your guests won’t even know they’re helping clean out the fridge. • Rely on versatile ingredients that can pull their weight in many ways. Hummus is perfect for easy entertaining because you can use it in countless ways, from dipping with chips or veggies to easy appetizers and side dishes. Sabra's line of refrigerated hummus, with 13 flavor combinations to match any recipe, is perfect for a wide variety of uses, and it provides a healthier alternative to traditional snack foods and spreads. In fact, eating two tablespoons of hummus a day helps fulfill your bean requirement for the week. • Find an easy dessert or two that you can make ahead of time and keep fresh for surprise visitors. Cookies, candies and brownies are all good choices because they store easily. If you’re looking for something more, bread puddings keep up to a week in the fridge for easy reheating, and many pies can be made and frozen ahead of time to simply pop in the oven when guests arrive.
Recipes Twice Baked Potato Jackets with Rosemary Servings: 16
8 small Yukon Gold potatoes 1 cup Sabra Classic Hummus 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling) salt and pepper sea salt
Using spoon, divide potato-hummus filling evenly among potato jackets and broil for 5-7 minutes or until tops are golden and crispy; watch carefully as they burn quickly. Remove from broiler and sprinkle with rosemary and a pinch of sea salt. Serve immediately.
Turkey Salad Servings: 2
Heat oven to 425 F. Scrub potatoes and poke with fork 2-3 times to allow steam to escape while baking. Place whole potatoes on rimmed sheet pan and bake for approximately 2530 minutes (depending on size of potatoes) or until potatoes are soft; cool for 10 minutes. Carefully slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop inside into bowl, leaving about 1/4-inch ring of potato around edges. Lightly mash potato chunks in bowl; add hummus and stir until combined. Season mixture with salt and pepper, taste and adjust if necessary.
1 cup turkey breast, cubed 1 tablespoon finely diced scallions 2 tablespoons diced celery 2 tablespoons diced red pepper 1 tablespoon water 1/2 cup Sabra Hummus salt and pepper, to taste Combine all ingredients and stir well. Serve in bowl of radicchio as salad, on sandwiches, wraps or as an appetizer with veggies, chips or pita bread.

Shortened race in Phoenix determines final 3 Chase spots

Earnhardt was leading on lap 219 when the race was called due to rain. By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer Avondale, Ariz. (AP) — NASCAR's championship field was set Sunday at rainsoaked Phoenix International Raceway when the race was called 93 laps from the scheduled finish — denying Joey Logano and three others a chance to race their way into the finale. Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the race when NASCAR pulled the plug after a frustrating day of trying to get a pivotal Chase for the Sprint Cup championship elimination round completed. Rain initially delayed the start almost seven hours and turned a day race into a showcase under the lights, and Earnhardt inherited the lead when Kevin Harvick made a routine pit stop. "That's the way this game is played. That's the way this Chase is," Logano said. "There's no doubt in my mind we're still the
strongest team on the race track." Earnhardt was eliminated from the playoffs in the second round, though, so the victory had no championship implications. Advancing into the season finale next Sunday were reigning series champion Harvick, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. They joined Jeff Gordon, who had earned his spot in the final four two weeks ago with a win at Martinsville, in the winner-take-all showdown at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Eliminated Sunday were Logano and his teammate Brad Keselowski, as well as Carl Edwards and Kurt Busch. All could have earned a spot in the finale with a victory at Phoenix, but the weather ruined their shot to race their way into the championship. "I don't think it matters what's fair, it matters what entertains the fans and if the fans are happy then
that's what it's all about," said Keselowski. But the fans were likely left unsatisfied after the anti-climactic ending. It was a bitter defeat for Team Penske, which nearly locked both drivers into the finale. Logano, the Daytona 500 winner who swept all three races of the second round of the Chase, was headed to the win at Martinsville until he was intentionally wrecked by Matt Kenseth and Keselowski nearly won last week at Texas but was chased down in the closing laps by Jimmie Johnson. Logano finished a frustrating third and was denied a chance to race Earnhardt and Harvick on a restart because of the rain. "You don't know if there's another restart if we're going to win," Logano said. "You just want a chance. It's no one's fault. It's not NASCAR's fault. What are they sup-
posed to do when it's pouring out?" Also left wondering what might have been: Edwards, who missed advancing by just five points, and Kurt Busch, who had one of the strongest cars at Phoenix. Kurt Busch had to win the race to advance, and he might have had a shot had it gone to completion. He was penalized minutes into the race for jumping the start — he grabbed the lead from pole-sitter Johnson — but fell to last in the field when he made his pass-through on pit road. But he still climbed to seventh and might have been able to challenge teammate Harvick for the win. "I don't even think it was a penalty," Kurt Busch said after the race ended. "It's not even a call in my mind." Meanwhile, Earnhardt had no guilt in celebrating the win. He was eliminated from the Chase after the
second round when a caution prevented him from racing Logano to the checkered flag at Talladega. "A lot of guys would love to see this race continue and have an opportunity to race to the Chase," Earnhardt said. "If I had four or six inches at Talladega, we would be going there to Homestead to race for a championship, too. It works out for some and some it doesn't." Earnhardt ended Harvick's streak of four-consecutive wins at Phoenix, but the champion was the class of the field. He led 143 of the 219 laps and had just pitted when a wreck brought out the caution. "It's kind of bittersweet," Harvick said. "Just caution came out at the wrong time. I feel like I don't want to be greedy and be disappointed with how it went today when you look at the big picture. "You always want to win when you have a car like
we did today, but I'll take it again next week." Harvick won at Homestead last year to clinch his first career championship. This time he'll be up against four-time champion Gordon, who will try to win the title in his final race before retirement, and Kyle Busch and Truex, who will both be racing for the championship for the first time in their career. Kyle Busch has been a favorite to win the title at various times in his career, but he never made it far enough in the Chase to win a Cup title. It gives him the chance for a storybook ending to a season that began with a crash at Daytona which left him with a broken leg and broken foot. Sidelined until late May, he was given a waiver by NASCAR to compete in the Chase. "I'm playing with house money, so I've got the advantage," he said.
Rain-shortened race was quintessential NASCAR
By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer
Charlotte, N.C. (AP) — In this topsy-turvy second season of NASCAR's new championship format, it was only fitting that the race to set the final four ended in an empty, unsatisfying way. A rain delay of nearly seven hours Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway turned the final elimination race of the playoffs into a waterlogged nightmare.There was no frantic jockeying for the final three slots in the titledeciding finale, no opportunity for Joey Logano or Kurt Busch or Carl Edwards to flex any muscle in a push for the checkered flag. Yet another burst of rain forced NASCAR to call the event 93 laps from the finish and everyone was denied the opportunity to see how it might have played out.
It was, with no disrespect to chairman Brian France, quintessential NASCAR. It rained all day. In Arizona. Grandstands that sold out weeks ago went half-full, and the devoted spectators wearing ponchos and garbage bags and trying so hard to stay entertained on a gray day got no reward for their dedication. NASCAR didn't have a ton of flexibility. It was late, fans had been tested, teams needed to get back to North Carolina to prepare for a quick turnaround this week to Miami. The rain that fell on the speedway was going to last a good while, and drying the track would take several hours. So NASCAR finally called it a day. Dale Earnhardt Jr. got the win because he happened to be out front during a lengthy caution right before the rain.The three drivers who earned spots alongside Jeff
Gordon in the championship race were reigning Sprint Cup champ Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. In this season of changing rules packages, an on-track product that was mostly uninspiring, rain-ruined races from Daytona to Richmond to Charlotte to Phoenix, and a strange Chase that has earned NASCAR heavy criticism for inconsistency, we really shouldn't have expected anything more. This was the year that Kurt Busch got a waiver to race for the title even though he was suspended for the first three races of the year for allegedly committing an act of domestic violence. And his younger brother, Kyle, got a waiver because NASCAR felt terrible about the crash at Daytona that sidelined him 11 races with a broken leg and broken foot. The Chase itself opened
with Harvick thumping onetime friend Jimmie Johnson — the guy who helped him win the title last year — in the chest over contact on the track. Then Harvick ran out of gas while leading the next week at New Hampshire to create a must-win situation in the first elimination race. When Harvick did win Dover, and damaged his car during the celebration, his competitors cried foul and said he did it on purpose to prevent NASCAR from conducting a thorough post-race inspection. Then came a rainout at Charlotte and a bizarre Sunday race in which contender after contender had some sort of issue. That put Matt Kenseth on the ropes, and he tried to race his way off of them the next week at Kansas. But Logano spun him and Kenseth fumed as his championship
chances slipped away. The next race, at Talladega, was highly controversial. First NASCAR changed the rule about how it would finish the race if a late caution came out, and it was of course chaotic when the first attempt at the final restart was waived off because of a crash. Earnhardt was trying to stave off elimination with a win, but when Harvick refused to cede position as his engine failed, he triggered a raceending accident that bounced NASCAR's most popular driver from the playoffs. Drivers again claimed Harvick wasn't on the up-and-up, but NASCAR found no proof that Harvick deliberately caused a crash to protect his position. Harvick has said he did what he had to do. Then came Martinsville, where everything was turned upside down. Logano should
have won that day to earn his spot in the finale. But Kenseth wouldn't have it and deliberately crashed him, an act that led to a two-race suspension. NASCAR said Kenseth was out of bounds for manipulating the championship race. Kenseth maintained that like Harvick, he did what he had to do, and that France himself encouraged the retaliation by rubber-stamping Logano's move at Kansas as "quintessential NASCAR." As fans cried foul over inconsistency, many drivers wondered how rules and code and respect had become so blurred. France says nothing is blurred, that everything is simple to understand. But when a pivotal race that decides the championship field isn't run to completion, it's hard to see clearly through the clouds.
