City golf course buy OK�dT h e

c o u n t ygave athumbsup to the

City of Gulf Breeze on Dec. 13, granti-ng them conditional use to expand theircurrent sewage treatment facility ontothree acres on the west end of TigerPoint Golf Course.

Gulf Breeze City Council alreadyapproved the purchase of the golfcourse and country club for $2,780,450.

The cost is $2.6 million for the purchaseprice, plus closing costs.

Of the entire 46 acres the city origi-nally asked the board to consider, thereare less than three acres that will beimpacted by the treatment plant expan-sion. The county granted the city con-ditional use on 12 ½ acres of the golfcourse.

Following the approval by commis-sioners, the city made the move to closethe real estate transaction on Dec. 17.

Originally, many residents around the

golf course were in opposition of theexpansion.

�I think we (commissioners) allreceived emails and phone calls whenthe proposal was first made (in opposi-tion),� commissioner Lane Lynchardsaid. �I think since then the city, Mr.(Buz) Eddy has worked with the home-owners association to come to someagreements that everyone could behappy with.�

Once the purchase is finalized, thecity will be working swiftly to expand

and update the 55-year-old treatmentplant located at 1170 Circle Lane, whichis needed according to Eddy, city man-ager.

Along with that, they will also beimproving many aspects of the courseover the next few years, includingdesigning and opening the new westcourse from College Parkway toMaplewood Drive.

Getting in the holiday spirit Inmate crewsto maintainTiger Point

The Cityof GulfBreeze plansto hit theground run-

ning in 2012 with improvements to itsrecent acquisition, Tiger Point GolfCourse and Country Club. City Councilunanimously approved this week at itsDec. 17 meeting the conceptual use ofinmate work squads for golf courseimprovements and maintenance.

In order to gain approval for the expan-sion of its existing septic treatment planton the west end of the golf course, the citygranted concessions to the area homeown-ers including repairing and replacingexisting fencing, landscaping that willshield the treatment facilities from theneighborhood and, potentially, a pedestri-an path.

�We have had great success with ourwork teams to date within city limits,�said Director of Parks and Recreation RonPulley. �The squads are highly screenedand non-violent offenders. They operateunder clearly detailed restrictions andhave no contact with the public exceptwith their supervisors.

�Inmate crews have been used in GulfBreeze from before the time I got here in1999. We�ve never had a single negativeincident.�

Pulley said the additional crew he�sseeking for the golf course won't be doingroutine grass cutting, they will be doingspecialized projects like building repair,fence repair, lake shoreline trimming andtree and brush pruning.

�Golf course turf management requiresspecialized equipment and training,� hesaid. �We�ll hire the pros to do that job.�

The new squad would consist of aguard and 5-11 inmates, providing the cityhundreds of thousands of dollars inreduced labor costs according to Pulley.

Driving under the influencecaught up with several peoplethis week in Gulf Breeze.

Tuesday, Dec. 11A man was stopped after his

vehicle ran over several orangetraffic cones and nearly collidedwith a bucket truck that wasassisting with holiday decora-tions. Marlin Golden, 52 ofHenderson, Tenn. was chargedwith DUI second offense andrefusing to submit to a sobrietytest at 11:12 p.m.

39-year-old man, both ofPensacola, were charged withpossession of marijuana andparaphernalia.

Tuesday, Dec. 18John Clifford Short, 19 of

Navarre was charged with DUIand possession of alcohol by aperson under 21.

In other news, a bike valuedat $200 was reported stolenfrom Bahama Bay condomini-ums on Friday, Dec. 14.

Wednesday, Dec. 12 An official from Publix

reported receiving harassingphone calls from a company thatappeared to be trying to perpe-trate a fraud.

for one 15th of the time. There'sso much that happened beyondthe camera. When you're makinga 90 minute film, three years and25 countries, there's just anungodly amount that gets cut,"Oxenham said. "The bookallowed me to tell the full storymore than the movie does."

"Just the idea of using soccerto go around the world and findstories that you wouldn't other-wise have access to," Oxenhamsaid. "Soccer creates this level ofintimacy between strangersthat's pretty awesome."

The idea for the documentaryand book came duringOxenham's Notre Dame days.She went back to Duke for a'reunion weekend,' where herand Ferguson ended up at thelibrary.

"Ferg and I spent a night inthe library just drinking toomuch coffee and writing wildthoughts on to a legal pad, justseeing what we would do if wecould do anything," Oxenhamsaid.

In Finding the Game,Oxenham and her team chasethe part of the game that outlastsa career: pickup, the global phe-nomenon spanning race, gender,religion, and class. "We bribe

our way into a Bolivian prison,bet shillings on a game withmoonshine brewers in Kenyaand play with anyone from a 16-year-old girl in the West Bank to80-year-old Brazilians who playbarefoot on Sunday mornings,"Oxenham said.

Along the way, the group hada run in with a baboon, accostDavid Beckham at a stoplight,buy fake EURO tickets, reversedown two main highways, getdetained in Israel and reported tothe government in Iran.

Oxenham, despite her acco-lades on the soccer pitch (beinga member of the first GBHSstate soccer championship teamin 2000, which was also namedUSA Today NationalChampions, as well as Duke),raised a few eyebrows, thenwiden some eyes with her soccerabilities.

"People don't play in othercountries nearly as much they doin the U.S. - women don't. Soinitially, there'd be this greatskepticism and guys would lookat me like 'what? She used toplay?' Then I'd do one move,then guys were overjoyed at theidea that a woman could love thesame thing that they do," shesaid. "They were easy toimpress, because the expecta-tions were so low."

The book is available atAmazon, Barnes and Noble, andBooks-a-Million. The film isavailable on our website,www.pelada-movie.com and isalso available on Amazon and

Hulu. Oxenham and Boughen will

start work at an environmentallaw firm after Christmas, andare expecting their first child inJuly.

City looking ahead on course improvements

the customers of the golfcourse, and in order for thatenterprise to be successful, wehave to have happy customersaround the plant,� Eddy said.

Once the city acquires theproperty, they will start workon a holding area for purifiedeffluent, which will be added tothe existing lake some time inthe next five years.

The Tiger Point sewagetreatment improvements wouldcost approximately $9 million,

but would fully satisfy federalrequirements for preparationfor potential growth.

The unanimous vote to grantthe city conditional use wasapproved without objection.

�I think this has been anexciting process, even for thoseof us who don�t live in that areato see the condition of the westcourse since 2004�it�s excit-ing to hear plans to bring itback,� Lynchard said.

Eddy said the city will hire aconsultant to help the cluboperate effectively.

The city plans to do severalquick fixes once the purchase iscomplete including cleaningand maintaining waterwaysthat are currently overgrownwith weeds, clearing fencelines, and repairing facilities sogolfers don�t have to use port-a-potties on the course.

Crews will also re-sand thetraps, fix irrigation pumps, andrebuild the storm shelter on theeast course among otherimprovements.

Without the conditional useapproval by commissioners, the

city could have been force tobuild an entire new plant else-where. At the last zoning meet-ing, Eddy showed concern thata rate increase for customerswould be implemented if thewastewater treatment plant hadto be moved to another loca-tion.

Originally, the city waslooking at a lot on Bergan Roadto build a new facility.

ECUA reaches out to families in need during holidaysWith high unemployment and the increas-

ing number of home foreclosures, it�s no sur-prise some local residents are having troublemaking ends meet. Project EUAP (EscambiaUtility Assistance Program), provides emer-gency assistance to families who are experi-encing financial difficulty, and are unable topay the cost of water, wastewater or sanitationservice. The program is made possible

through generosity of ECUA customers whounderstand that challenging times can hit anyof us. As of Nov. 30, 1, 497 ECUA cus-tomers are helping their neighbors by con-tributing to the program.

Project EUAP offers assistance to the eld-erly, the disabled, and to crisis victims, indi-viduals who have a financial circumstance.All contributions in Project EUAP are used

for emergency relief and never to pay admin-istrative expenses.

ECUA customers can participate in theprogram by having one dollar (or a largeramount) included on their monthly utility bill,or making a one-time contribution.

For more information, or to contribute callCustomer Service at (850) 476-0480 or visitwww.ecua.fl.gov.

A comprehensive health assessment wasrecently completed, the fourth study of itskind over the last 17 years, for the Partnershipfor a Healthy Community, in an effort toassess health conditions in Escambia andSanta Rosa counties.

The 2012 Assessment was commissionedby the partnership and its founders � BaptistHealth Care Corporation, Sacred Heart HealthSystem and Escambia Community Clinics.

The report uncovered both favorable andunfavorable results on several key health indi-catorsfor Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties,and the substantial amount of undesirableresults were alarming.

�The fact that a significant number ofimportant health status indicators in Escambiaand Santa Rosa Counties do not comparefavorably to peer and state results, is unques-tionably cause for public concern,� the reportstated.

Data was collected separately for Escambiaand Santa Rosa counties, but it is critical toassess the two counties as one MetropolitanStatistical Area (MSA), due to the fact thatmany people reside in one county but work,shop, attend school or seek health care in theother county.

�The counties are interdependent, andhealth improvement efforts must target thoseproblems which are manifested for both,� thereport said.

The lack of health status progress since theprior 2005 study, especially in EscambiaCounty, was disappointing.

�The 2005 assessment revealed that overall

health status for Escambia County and keyhealth status indicators for the two countiescombined have worsened since the study per-formed in 2000.

Unfortunately, results from the 2012assessment show no progress in improvinghealth status over the 2005 assessment,� thestudy reported.

Both counties have favorable results for theincidence of, or deaths that result from, sever-al types of cancer.

Escambia and Santa Rosa counties hadlower rates of overall cancer deaths and totalcancer cases than the statewide figures andthe rates for �peer counties,� counties thathave similar demographics.

However, both Escambia and Santa Rosacounties have higher rates for female breastcancer than peer counties and the state.

In both counties, the data also indicatedthere is overuse of emergency departments toaddress many health issues and underuse ofhospitals to treat conditions.

The results also show the number of resi-dents who smoke, or are former smokers, arehigh for both counties, as are the rates ofbirths to teens and babies with low birthweights.

The partnership, headed by Baptist HealthCare executive David Sjoberg, said the prob-lems will continue unless the communitytakes action.

�Progress toward community healthimprovement with sustainable change willrequire a bigger and more collaborative com-munity-wide effort, involving governmental

organizations, employers, and many others, toimprove results of greatest need.�

The study compared results on more than230 indicators such as deaths, incidences ofdisease and behavioral risk factors. It meas-ured each county against the state average andagainst three �peer� counties which have sim-ilar demographic and socioeconomic factors.

Escambia County�s peer counties wereAlachua, St. Lucie and Bay. Santa RosaCounty�s was St. Johns, Okaloosa and Baycounties.

Some of the findings were very positive,especially in Santa Rosa County, which has alarger average income than Escambia County.

Compared to state and peer county figures,Escambia County deaths from cancer andincidence of several types of cancers arebelow peer and state rates.Santa Rosa County had lowerdeath rates for cancer, diabetesand chronic liver disease.

It notes that Florida ranksin the bottom third of thenation in key indexes of healthand well-being for residents.

The study is available atwww.pfahc.org.

The partnership plans toanalyze the issues and identifya set of priorities. However,the study noted that the com-munity must take action.

�What must also be recog-nized is that there are substan-tial costs associated with poor

health status that are already being borne bygovernment, employers and residents. Thesesame stakeholders must become involved incharting a course for improvement.�

The Partnership has begun its preparationfor a Health Care Summit in 2013 to furtherstress the vital need for chief communitymembers from both counties to becomeinvolved.

�In addition to identifying and workingwith providers to target priority health needs,the Partnership will make an effort to convenea Health Care Summit in 2013, to involve thekey organizations and community leaderswhose participation is essential to the devel-opment of plans to effectively improve thehealth status of residents of Escambia andSanta Rosa Counties.�

Report: Escambia, Santa Rosa residents have higher rates of breast cancer, more smokers

A local searchcompany cap-tured the confi-dence of the

Santa Rosa County Commissioners last week intheir proposal to help the county find an eco-nomic development director for the county.Commissioners had narrowed the field to threesearch companies from the nine that had appliedfor the job. One of the three finalists was fromTexas, one from North Carolina, and the thirdfrom Pensacola. Even though the first placeranking was not unanimous, the Pensacola com-pany came out ahead of the others among com-missioners� final rankings.

The three companies�costs of searching for aneconomic director for Santa Rosa Countyranged from $16,330 by the Pensacola compa-ny to $22,500 all inclusive fees from the Dallascompany to $30,000 plus expenses for the NorthCarolina company.

Commissioners said having a company basedin Pensacola is a definite advantage, theybelieve. President and CEO of the Pensacolasearch firm KiJobGrowth, Niels Anderson,pointed out that knowing the area already andwhat Santa Rosa County really needs in an eco-nomic director is crucial to success. JohnPrumatico, Director of Business forKiJobGrowth, said he has lived here since themid-50�s, built a home in Santa Rosa County in1991, and watched Santa Rosa south end growsince the days when he would drive from Ft.Walton to Pensacola and Navarre had only onegas station.

The two representatives of the local companythey already have a data base of 100 candidatesthey have already vetted as a good place to startthe search.

�Recruiting is not rocket science, but it is alot of hard work,� said CEO Anderson. �We willhelp narrow the field to the best three or four

candidates to come for a site visit and talk withyou and with members of the business commu-nity. The good thing is you are not starting fromscratch. You have an idea of what you want.�

Niels suggested the county plan to offer asalary of between $90,000 and $120,000 for aneconomic development director. �And there wassome talk of offering a $3,000 movingallowance. If you give the person $3,000 tomove here from out of state, and they have afamily, that will cover a U-Haul, not a movingcompany. If you are looking for an executive,you need to treat them like an executive, even inmoving allowances.�

Niels said in 1995 he was hired by SacredHeart Hospital to recruit doctors. �That is whenSacred Heart was one red brick building,� hesaid. �Now look how they have grown. About 11years ago I resigned and started my own compa-ny.� His company, Kontact Intelligence, helpssearch for doctors and executives. KiJobGrowth

is a division of Kontact Intelligence.

His company also offers a free one year

review after they help find an executive

�Everyone is on their best behavior when inter-

viewing, but after several months of being on

the job, employers can usually see what the real

person is all about. We come back in one year �

at no extra cost --and do a review to see if the

person we helped find is still a good fit,� Niels

said.

Niels said before they begin the search they

will want to know the county commissioners�

full expectations for the director�s job.

The company ranking a close second with

commissioners, out of North Carolina, helped

Pensacola Bay Area Chamber of Commerce find

its current economic development director Jim

Hizer. If for some reason the Pensacola compa-

ny cannot fulfill the job, the North Carolina

company would be asked to step in.

Both SantaRosa andEscambia coun-ties have been

awarded $200,000 each to help fund projects onthe county naval bases to further protect theirmilitary missions within their county.

The money was part of a DefenseInfrastructure Grant for fiscal year 2012-13 thatwas awarded to counties across the state ofFlorida.

The state-awarded funding will allow thecounties to improve areas surrounding localmilitary installations through a variety of infra-structure projects.

Four counties in the panhandle shared nearlytwo-thirds of the $1,581,245 grant.

Santa Rosa County commissioner Don Salter

said that the grant program has been in placefor a decade, and the county has, on severaloccasions, received the grant money which theyused to put towards land use studies.

�Several years ago we did a joint land usestudy around Whiting Field and the six outlyingfields in Santa Rosa County,� Salter said. �Welooked at all properties within a half a mileradius of the fence line.

�We identified those properties that wouldcreate the highest degree of residential buildingencroachment for the base.�

From there, the county created a map thatshows all of those properties.

�We use grant money to purchase thoseproperties or purchase conservation easementsover the properties,� Salter said. �When we fillout the grant application, we specify how we

are going to use the money, and we will contin-ue to use grant money to continue to purchaseincompatible land use properties around thebase.

�Most the properties I�m talking about areproperties that are underneath flight patterns asaircraft leave and return to base.�

The Defense Infrastructure Grant program isadministered by Enterprise Florida, Inc. Thegrants are awarded annually on a project prior-ity basis.

Salter said the county should receive themoney within the next two months.

�This grant program is a vital tool in main-taining Florida�s reputation as the most militaryfriendly state in the nation. Jobs for Floridafamilies is my top priority - and these grantswill improve the quality of life for hundreds of

thousands of Floridians employed at our mili-tary installations,� said Governor Rick Scott.

The state awards Defense InfrastructureGrants to communities that host military instal-lations.

The grants are performance-based, and aredistributed after the recipient has fulfilled itsproject requirements. Salter said every year thecounty turns in an application for the grant toshow what they want to utilize the money for.

The funds collected may be used for projectsrelated to encroachment, transportation andaccess, utilities, communications, housing,environment and security.

The grants help protect a $60 billion eco-nomic impact and more than 686,000 direct andindirect jobs, which the defense industry annu-ally infuses into Florida.

�What do you

want for

Christmas this

year?�

Saint Nicholas� tale began in TurkeyThe real St. Nicholas was

born in Patara, near Myra, in

present-day Turkey around 280

A.D. He came from a wealthy

Christian family, and entered the

church, becoming a Greek

Orthodox Bishop of Myra. He

used his great wealth for the

church and the poor and count-

less stories are told of his com-

passion, humility and good

deeds.

One of the most famous con-

cerned a man who had three

daughters and was about to sell

them into slavery. St. Nicholas

rode by in the night and tossed

three bags of gold through the

window. This gift saved the

women from a life of despair and

provided a dowry for them to

marry. Some sources say he

tossed the three bags down the

chimney.

St. Nicholas became known as

the rescuer and protector of chil-

dren and he became a favorite

Saint during the Middle Ages.

The Dutch celebrate each

December 6th as St. Nicholas�

Day. Children leave out wooden

shoes, along with straw and salt

cubes for his horse. In the morn-

ing, they find gifts and candy if

they�ve been good all year.

St. Nicholas� arrival in

America began in the early

1800s when a group of learned

men in New York formed a his-

torical society. They called them-

selves the �Knickerbockers� and

included John Pintard,

Washington Irving, and Clement

Clarke Moore. These three indi-

viduals collectively are responsi-

ble for our American Santa

Claus.

First up, is Washington Irving.

Irving often wrote books of Old

Dutch tales (like Rip Van Winkle

or the Legend of the Sleeping

Hollow). In 1809, he published

his A History of New York from

the Beginning of the World to the

End of the Dutch Dynasty.

Although most of the book is

satire, Santa Claus is mentioned

some 25 times.

Irving referred to Saint

Nicholas as the Patron Saint of

New York, and describes him as

being carved on the masthead of

the first Dutch ship to enter New

York harbor. As a masthead,

Nicholas has a low, broad-

brimmed hat, a huge pair of

Flemish trunk hose and a pipe

that reached to the bowsprit.

Then in 1810, at the meeting

of the New York Historical

Society on St. Nicholas� Day,

John Pintard distributed a wood-

cut souvenir engraving based on

Dutch customs. The engraving

showed St. Nicholas holding a

money purse in one hand and a

�birchen rod� in the other, while

in the background are two stock-

ings hanging on the fireplace.

One a little girl�s, has toys,

oranges and sugarplums, while

the boy�s has a stick.

The brief poem is titled

�Sancte Claus� in Dutch and �St.

Nicholas� in English. From this

source, Clement Clarke Moore

borrowed the ideas of rewards

for good behavior, the dreaming

of sugarplums and the stockings

by the fireplace. He would also

use the Dutch work �Sinter

Claus� anglicizing it to �Santa

Claus�.

Then in 1821, a poem

appeared in the Christmas issue

of The Children�s Friend a liter-

ary magazine. The poem reads:

Old Santeclaus with much

delight

His reindeer drives this frosty

night,

O�er chimneytops, and tracks of

snow

To bring his yearly gifts to you.

The steady friend of virtuous

youth

The Friend of duty and of truth,

Each Christmas even he joys to

come

Where love and peace have

made their home.

This poem moved St.

Nicholas� visit from December 6

to Christmas Eve and introduced

reindeer (whether one or more is

not indicated). Clement Clarke

Moore made their number eight

and gave them all names.

With these three sources

(Pintard, Irving and the poem),

Clement Clarke Moore wote in

1822 �An Account of a Visit

from St. Nicholas� for his three

children, Margaret, Charity and

Mary. It first appeared in print on

Dec. 23, 1823 in the Troy

Sentinel newspaper in New

York. The rest, as they say, is his-

tory.

Many believe that the recent purchase of

Tiger Point Country Club by the city of Gulf

Breeze should be seen as more than just a

real estate purchase. Not only does this pur-

chase benefit the city owned utility compa-

ny, but it also symbolizes a new relationship

between the City of Gulf Breeze and the

unincorporated area east of it.

As soon as Gulf Breeze officials

announced their intent to purchase Tiger

Point, it did not take them long to discover

the past resentment many residents living in

that unincorporated area harbor toward

�Gulf Breeze, Proper.� While initial resist-

ance may have been a surprise to some in the

City, it did not discourage City Manager,

Buz Eddy. He instead saw this situation as

an opportunity and extended an open invita-

tion to the residents outside the city to dis-

cuss the proposed plans. Many of these resi-

dents made it clear how they viewed past

dealings as unfair toward those living out-

side the city limits.

The purchase of Tiger Point Country Club

is a new beginning between these two com-

munities and will be mutually beneficial to

all involved. Gulf Breeze needed Tiger Point

Country Club to meet environmental and

operational utility requirements and the resi-

dents in the area needed a viable, well main-

tained golf course to preserve their property

values. This agreement also starts a new dia-

logue between two communities that hope-

fully will use this to form a more symbiotic

relationship. Residents in both areas should

be proud. Along with Buz Eddy; the United

Peninsula Association (UPA), Santa Rosa

Shores, and Tiger Point Homeowners

Association, among others, should be

applauded. Moving forward, this purchase

will help prove that when communities work

together, they can improve the quality of life

for all residents.

Losing someone you love is

always an extremely heartbreak-

ing event. Losing a loved one

during the holidays is often even

more incredibly difficult. How

do we go on and celebrate when

our hearts are so heavy and they

are not with us?

I heard a news report over the

weekend that some people in

the town of Newtown, Conn.

were going to boycott Christmas

and take down their lights. I

hope they do not.

I could never say I know how

they feel. I do not. But I do

know that choosing to face

Christmas, and even celebrate it,

in December 1977 is probably

what helped me to breathe, to

walk, to act and feel as if I was

possibly still alive � even after

the death of my beloved sister.

Charod died in the second

week of December. We didn�t

even have our tree up yet.

Somehow, my mom found the

strength to not only put up a tree

and string lights, but to put a

present under the tree for each of

us.

Yes, I noticed that we were

one pretty package short. The

table looked odd without the

usual number of chairs.

But the Christmas lights were

an anchor � they seemed to

blink, �life will go on.�

I had heard all my life that

Jesus is the light of the world. I

clung to that promise that cold,

wet week. Every single bulb in

every strand on houses and trees

seemed to call out to me. The

comfort I felt from those lights

was palpable.

I hope we will each still take

the time to celebrate the season

of light. Our hearts are broken

with those families, and life

seems so fragile.

I am now a Christmas fanat-

ic. I remember each year that I

will see Charod again, and that

promise comes from the Gift of

Christmas. I normally decorate

first thing on the Friday after

Thanksgiving, but one thing or

another delayed me this year. As

I hung my lights on my tree on

Sunday I thought about the

wonderful promise of Christmas

� and Christmas lights each

year.

Are you having a hard time

feeling the holiday spirit? Does

Christmas seem too hard to

bear? Turn off the TV, take a

thermos of coffee or hot choco-

late � or drive through

McDonald�s or Starbuck�s � and

drive around, looking at lights.

Five Gulf Breeze families

were honored on Monday night

for their yard decorations and

Christmas spirit. I know two of

the families well, and I know

that their lives have not been

without great pain and loss.

Statistically, we can guess every

home has felt its share of pain.

But they poured their energy

into spreading the lights and joy

of Christmas.

Fill your eyes and your heart

and soul with them!

Allow the Light of Christmas to fill the darkness

Thousands came out on Dec.

15 to the Pioneer of Space gala

at the National Aviation Museum

in Pensacola to celebrate the

40th anniversary of Apollo 17.

�The two days of panel dis-

cussions attracted record

crowds, expecially for this time

of year,� said Shelley Ragsdale,

Director of Marketing. Both the

lunch and dinner programs were

sold out with extensive waiting

lists.

During the event, visitors lis-

tened as flight directors and

commanders discussed the

Apollo missions and the efforts

that took place to make them

successful.

The most popular panel dis-

cussion on Apollo 13 revealed

incredible resourcefulneess and

tenacity � and how mission con-

trol scrambled to save the lives

of astronauts aboard after an

oxygen tank explosion crippled

the Apollo 13 Command/

Service module.

Following the discussion, vis-

itors ate lunch as special guest

speakers Senator John Glenn

(first American to orbit the

Earth) and Captain Gene Cernan

(retired Navy captain, Apollo 17

commander and last man to walk

on the moon) spoke on how far

space travel and aviation has

come.

A Mercury, Gemini and

Apollo panel, including panelists

David Scott (retired Air Force

colonel, Gemini astronaut and

commander of Apollo XV, first

to drive on the Moon), Thomas

Stafford (retired Air Force

brigadier general, Gemini astro-

naut, commander of Apollo X

and commander of the first joint

U.S.-Soviet space mission), and

Richard Gordon (retired Navy

captain, pilot aboard Gemini XI

which achieved a record apogee

altitude, and command-module

pilot of Apollo XII), spoke about

their experiences in space.

The museum�s newest exhib-

it, a full-scale replica of an

Apollo Lunar Excursion Module

(LEM), was revealed during the

evening reception and dinner.

A moving tribute to the first

man to walk on the moon, Neil

Armstrong, made up a portion of

the evening as well as a panel

discussion featuring Apollo XIII

commander Jim Lovell, former

Gemini pilot Richard Gordon

and other former astronauts.

As he dropped the carefully

wrapped present into the box,

the first grader beamed with the

joy of giving.

Pandora de Balthazar is a

local volunteer who, along with

fifth grade teacher Mike

Rodgerson, spearheaded the

effort to instill the love of giving

in children by asking them to

bring a gift to a child in foster

care.

The gifts were presented at a

breakfast for children 12 and

under who are in foster care and

from Escambia and Santa Rosa

Counties. The child�s entire fos-

ter family attended.

The foster children also got

an opportunity to present their

foster parents with gifts from a

gift shop full of items donated

from community.

�Children learn to be volun-

teers and help other kids. They

can change the world, and to me

that�s what this is about,� de

Balthazar said.

As Santa and Mrs. Claus

helped the children donate

wrapped items such as Barbie

dolls and Legos into the age and

gender appropriate bins, addi-

tional classes lined up to donate

their gifts.

Linda Roush, director of

community relations for

Families First Network, said the

program teaches children about

giving.

�When you�re young, it�s

your family that teaches you

giving. When you are away, you

still have an important lesson to

learn. This shows them for the

first time what this means,�

Roush said.

Zach Allen, a fifth grader in

Mr. Rodgerson�s class summed

it up: �I just feel good because

Christmas isn�t about getting,

it�s about giving.�

The breakfast but the need

continues year round. Roush

said donations are needed for

school supplies, items for inde-

pendent living and household

goods for adults aged 18-23.

For details, call (850) 453-

7745. Donations can be dropped

off at 418 E. Wright Street,

across from the Crown Plaza

hotel.

Northwest Florida is famous for itsgorgeous beaches, the Naval AirMuseum and Joe Patti Seafood!

Officially listed as one of the seven must-see tourist attractions in Florida, Joe Patti�shas won the hearts and stomachs of hun-dreds of thousands of area residents and vis-itors for years. Nothing is left to chancebecause Frank Patti orders every piece ofseafood himself.

Joe Patti Seafood is the stopping spot forall kinds of seafood; from wild salmon tosnails, from grouper to lobster, and RoyalReds to packages of frozen octopus and eel.There is much more to Joe Patti�s Seafoodthan just seafood, such as the deli case witha huge variety of freshly made salads,plump crab cakes, and broccoli salad, theSushi Bar plus the coffee/cake bar.

Selections of cheeses are also abounding, aswell as breads, buckhead beef, and BoarsHead meats. Oh...and let�s not forget thegumbos and bisques.

And since this is the holiday season, JoePatti Seafood�s gift counters are full of nau-tical decorated choices, letter openers, plat-ters, key chains, tree ornaments, cocktailforks with gem-like stones, bells, ashtrays,and the stunning wall-hanging woodenanchor with a clock in the middle.

The man behind the seafood counter call-ing numbers or sitting in his office checkingall orders is Frank Patti, and he loves hisjob!

�My whole life is seafood,� said the gen-tleman who is easily recognizable by hissuspenders and cap.

He recalls that when he was seven hestood on a box in the fish market sink scal-ing and splitting fish and chopping off theheads. Captain Joe Patti, Frank�s father,started Patti�s in 1931, and the 103 foot boatbuilt at the Patti Shipyards- bearing thename, Captain Joe Patti, is a tribute and

reminder of those long-ago shrimping days. In Frank�s office, pictures of his father

and mother watch over him and his rever-ence for their memory is a silent, but pow-erful, part of the man who can be demand-ing of his 135 employees and yet is gentle inneed. Frank is a humble man....and a pro-found one, too.

Frank Patti is Joe Patti�s. �We evolved from just catching fish to

selling and shipping it out,� said Patti.In fact, he will overnight an order any-

where. He is always at his seafood market.The one exception was when he had to takeleave for his knee surgery.

�I worried about Patti�s more than I didmy knee,� he laughs.

Frank has breakfast every morning withson, Frank, Jr., at 7 a.m. at Oscar�s.

�I�ve done that for 35 years, and I leavePatti�s between 7:30 and 9 at night,� saidPatti, already waiting for morning andanother day at Joe Patti�s.

�Happy Holidays to all my customersand friends,� Mr. Patti said with a big smile.

Pensacola Beach won�t beallowing dogs on the beach any-time this year. In fact, with theissue being sent back to committeeat last week�s Santa Rosa IslandAuthority, it will be several weeksor possibly months before the issueeven gets to the Escambia CountyCommissioners for discussion andfinal decision.

The Island Authority not onlydiscussed the dogs on the beach atlast week�s meeting, but also theboard elected new officers for the

coming year, heard that theAuthority had passed their annualaudit with flying colors, and wel-comed new member Janice Gilleyto replace retiring Vernon Prather.

Gilley wasted no time at herfirst meeting wading into the dis-cussion of the potential dog parkon the beach.

�I see you are proposing a $50permit fee for pets on the beach,but do you have a visitor�s permitincluded, so tourists can pay aweekend or weekly fee instead ofthe $50 yearly?� Gilley asked. Shesaid she thought the $50 permitfee, if required for vacationersfrom out of the area, would hurt

tourism rather than bring more doglovers to the beach from out oftown. She said, �I am also thinkingof the PR value. People with petswill be glad to hear they can bringtheir dogs to the beach if theycome here, but won�t be so happyif they get here and find out theyhave to pay $50 to bring them tothe beach for one or two days � oreven a week.�

Board member Ed Guernseysuggested the owners of rentalproperties could purchase a permitfor the year and make it availableto anyone who rents their vacationproperties. SRIA staff memberPalo Ghio said the �permit� to be

issued to the dog owners wouldactually be an orange dog leash.He pointed out the only problemwith a property owner having theleash on hand to give to a renterwould be the requirement beingproposed that all pets to be walkedon the beach give proof for the per-mit of a visit to a veterinarian.

Board members questionedwhether there could be a policy putinto place that required tourists tobring proof of veterinarian visitsand dog immunization recordswith them in case questioned bythe SRIA or rental property owner.

The board decided to send theissue back to committee.

As the Magi changed, may this Christmas change you, tooThe story says that the magi

came from far away. Bearing

gifts of gold, frankincense, and

myrrh, they arrived to shower

gifts on a baby king who would

never be crowned, except with

thorns. They were students of

the stars and had been anxiously

awaiting the arrival of someone

special who could and would

change the world. The story

says that having seen this child,

they went home by a different

route. They went home differ-

ently.

There are encounters in life

that change our direction and

change our identities. There are

events that can shape us so

instantly that there is no way we

could ever be the same again.

Too often these events are

tragedies instead of ancient

baby showers.

Now, along with the rest of

the country, I will always

remember Friday, Dec. 14th

because of the terrible and trag-

ic massacre of children and

adults in Newtown, Conn.

Like those wise men from

2000 years ago, we are still

looking for someone to change

the world. No matter our

nation, creed, language, or

color, we are all looking to keep

our children safe and hope for a

bright future for them. As a

nation we wrestle with main-

taining our freedoms with the

balance of security and safety.

We struggle with debt while at

the same time caring for our eld-

erly and sick. At the same time

that more prescription drugs are

more available than at any time

in history, we still see record

numbers of disease and depres-

sion. We need someone. We

need something in which to

believe.

Christmas offers us a time to

believe in something good and

pure. For Christians, we see the

hope of the world in that barn

born infant. It is a time to hope

for the next year with the con-

viction that it will be a better

year. We may not all put our

faith in Christ, but we can all

believe in Christmas .... espe-

cially this year.

My prayer for this communi-

ty and our nation is that we can

leave this Christmas differently

than we came. May we join the

Magi in finding a new way

home because the old way just

won�t work anymore. We may

not all believe in Christ, but

maybe we can all believe in

Christmas this year.

Love one. Love another.

Top Soccer was founded in Gulf Breeze only a little overone year ago, and it is already touching many lives after onlytwo seasons.

That, say the parents and children involved, is due to theamazing love, energy and commitment coach Jennifer Hawkinspours into it.

Top Soccer is for special needs children � or children with"different-abilities" as the group likes to say.

According to mom Kelly Small, the whole idea was bornout of finding a way to offer children with disabilities thechance to play and learn with each other on the playing field.

"My son, Turner, 6, wanted to play a sport like he saw hissiblings do," says Small. Turner has physical disabilities and isdevelopmentally delayed, but loved going to support his brothersand sisters in the team sports they play.

A group of moms got together and took their desire to offersoccer to these kids, and forced it into reality.

"The Rec Center has been amazing, helping us launch TopSoccer," Small says. "We raised funds, gathered sponsors, andannounced team meetings and sign ups. But the really importantfactor, the heart of the program, is our coach, Jennifer Hawkins.When we first approached her, she could not commit to usbecause we wanted to meet on Wednesdays, and the Hawkinsfamily has their family night that night. But Jennifer came back tous, and said not only would she coach, but her whole familywould be part of the program, keeping their family night sacredwhile they helped us. It's really been amazing.

�Once drafted, Jennifer became the true heart of our pro-gram."

Mom Donna Tolbert agrees. "Jennifer Hawkins is amazingwith these kids," she says. "It's not so much they are learning tokick the ball and play the game of soccer, or becoming great ath-letes. But they are getting a fun night out, wearing a team jersey,having an evening of fun. I don't know what my son, Thomas,would do without it! And they always get a lot of hugs and spe-cial attention from Coach Jen.�

Parents praise Hawkins for more than her coaching and herloving approach to their children. They marvel at what a greatrole model she is, and how she is drawn others to the program.

"Her whole family comes out � her kids and her husband.And they usually bring friends, too."

For Turner, 6, it is a dream come true. "He gets his own jer-sey. He has his own practice schedule. He gets to bring his waterbottle, and hang it on the fence like he sees his brothers and sis-ters do," says Small. "You know that some of the parents thoughtit might be a nice break, to drop their kids off. But the truth is,most of us stay. We can't wait to just sit and watch them like allparents do."

Kiersten Edlund (left) celebrates with goal scorerMegan Hawkins during GBHS’ 1-0 win Monday.

Lady Dolphin soccerunbeaten streak at 12

It's a long standing tradition in sports that vet-

erans (or upperclassmen) put the rookies (or

freshmen) through some good natured hazing �

whether it�d be a new hairstyle or the carrying of

their bags.

At this rate, the upperclassmen may have

to start carrying theirs.

Less than three minutes into the second

half, freshman Kiersten Edlund sent a ball up

to fellow freshman Megan Hawkins, who ran

on to it and scored the game�s only goal in the

Lady Dolphins� 1-0 win over West Florida

Monday at Brosnaham Park.

The win keeps the Lady Dolphins unbeaten

(5-0) in district play and runs their overall unbeat-

en streak to 12 games. They also did it without

three starters (Alyssa Pejic and Allison Proctor �

concussions and Korrie Abernathy � ankle).

GBHS nearly fell behind 1-0 in the open-

ing seconds as keeper Mollie Johnson had to

come off her line and break up a breakaway

chance by the Lady Jags. Johnson ended up

with 10 saves in the win.

Lady Dolphins 4, Tate 0It was a night of first Friday at Dolphin

Stadium, led by freshman Olivia Johnson�s

first ever GBHS goal as the Lady Dolphins

shut out Tate.

Johnson�s goal came in the 74th minute, set

up by a pass by Sara Jane Renfroe. Kylie

Feltenberger and Devin Sholty also scored their

first goals of the season. Feltenberger�s goal

was in the 11th minute, while Sholty scored two

minutes later.

Pejic, who scored the team�s first goal in

the fourth minute, had the assist on Sholty�s

goal, while Sara Papantonio set up

Feltenberger�s goal.

Hawkins had the assist on the goal by

Pejic, who suffered a concussion with

about 10 minutes left in the first half.

Johnson had three saves, while Jessie

Droogsma had one.

Lady Dolphin JV 8,West Florida 0 (51 minutes)

Alex Holloway and Kaitlyn Prezioso

both scored twice as 11 Lady Dolphins

scored points in a mercy rule win Monday.

Alex Holloway also had an assist,

while Paige Van Tassel and Emma Bolton

both had a goal and an assist.

Katie Sullivan and Kalee Bogan both

scored goals, while Destini Ferraro, Lindsey

McComber, Adrianna Funtealba, Lia

Lampone and Sam Holloway all had assists.

JV goes 1-1-1 at Navarre TourneyThe JV team won one, lost one and

tied one last weekend at the

Navarre JV Tourney.

GBHS tied Navarre 0-0 Friday

before losing 2-1 to Pace Saturday

morning on a goal in the final

five minutes. Prezioso had

the Lady Dolphin goal.

Ferraro and Natalie

Rockett both scored twice

in a 6-0 win Saturday

afternoon.

Sullivan added a goal on a

penalty kick, while Alex Holloway had a

goal. Lampone had three assists and

McComber one as Abigail Ray had one save.

Volleyball celebrates another stellar year

The GBHS Lady Dolphin volleyball program

celebrated one of its most successful years in

school history with its season-ending awards ban-

quet Sunday at Seville Quarter.

The ninth grade, junior varsity and varsity

squads combined for a 58-4 record as the varsity

team advanced to the regional finals for the fourth

consecutive years.

Celia Eddy, a 2009 GBHS grad and four-year

volleyball player at Elon University, was the guest

speaker before each squad was introduced and

awards were handed out.

Elizabeth Tripp and Michelle Barrineau were

the ninth grade team's Academic Award winners,

while Mady Smith was the team's Most Valuable

Player.

Taelor Hartley was the JV team's Academic Award

winner, while Kathrin Hess was the team's MVP.

Mollie Johnson was the varsity team's

Academic Award winner, while Allison Proctor

was the team's MVP.

The individual stat winners were Caitlin

Chapman (Most Kills), Sage Dunne (Most

Assists), Proctor (Most Digs) and Alex Karcher

(Best Serve Percentage, Most Aces and Most

Blocks).


A new tradition?

Last week�s slate of NFL games

was a tough one for the Gurus, as

Tim Wise�s 7-3 mark was the best of

all of them.

The other five Gurus were .500 or

under, with leader Terry Gross

coming in at 4-6. Despite that, Gross�

lead is by two games over Coach

Cobb and yours truly.

Several games on the NFL slate

have playoff implications. A win by

the Falcons over the Lions gives

Atlanta homefield advantage

throughout the NFC playoffs, while a

win by the Patriots over the Jaguars

would clinch New England a first

round bye.

San Francisco would win the NFC

West with a win over the Seahawks.

A short-handed Gulf Breeze

Lady Dolphin basketball team

traveled to Panama City for a pair

of district games last weekend,

losing both by double digits.

While the Lady Dolphins (3-

6) did get Niki Morse

(concussion on Dec. 3) back in

Saturday�s 53-38 loss at Bay,

they played both without leading

scorer Haydn Ilano (knee).

GBHS is 0-3 since her injury.

Bay 53, Lady Dolphins 38The Lady Tornadoes shot 56

percent from the field in the

second half (15-for-23) to pull

away from GBHS Saturday.

Bay took a 5-0 lead before a

steal and bucket by Morse got

GBHS on the board. It was one

of only two field goals in the first

quarter for the Lady Dolphins,

who trailed 12-5 after one.

An Autumn Hamilton bucket

ended a 10-2 run and gave the

Lady Dolphins a lead at 15-14.

A Michelle Barrineau free throw

would tie it at 16 before Bay

scored the last five of the half.

But a string of layups and

medium range jump shots

would allow Bay to pull away in

the second half. They led 38-26

after three quarters.

Lizzie Hoehn led GBHS with

12 points. Savannah Nixon had

eight points, 11 rebounds and

three steals, while Morse had

six, Analena Schreiber had five

points and 11 rebounds, Autumn

Hamilton three and Nancy

Suarez and Michelle Barrineau

two. Morse also had three steals

for Gulf Breeze, who committed

25 turnovers.

Rutherford 58,Lady Dolphins 31

The Lady Rams used a 14-3

second quarter to pull away in a

district win Friday.

Nixon, Schreiber and

Barrineau all had six points for

Gulf Breeze, while Pliska had

five, Hoehn four and Suarez and

Hamilton two each.

Nixon had 10 rebounds, while

Schreiber had seven boards,

Suarez six and Hamilton five.

Hamilton also had five steals for

Gulf Breeze, who played in the

Jay Holiday Classic Monday and

Tuesday (after the News� dead-

line).

Lady Dolphin JV 27, Bay 13Caitie Gill had nine points,

while Frances Williams and Emily

Viglione had six each Saturday for

the Lady Dolphins, who played the

final 50 seconds of the game with

only four players (two fouled out).

Rutherford JV 26,Lady Dolphins 24

Gill had 10 points, while

Williams had eight Friday in a

loss to Rutherford. Megan Cronin

had 10 rebounds in the loss.

GBHS in Jay HolidayClassic final

The Lady Dolphins were in

the final of the Jay Holiday

Classic Tuesday, played after the

News� deadline. Look for

coverage of that tournament in

the Dec. 27 issue.

GBE students take a ride on the Polar ExpressEvery year around Christmas

time, children at GB Elementary

School get the chance to ride on

the Polar Express.

On December 7, GBES

kindergarten students got to do

just that when they came to

school in their pajamas and filed

into the lunch room to watch

The Polar Express.

The tradition, which started

eight years ago was an idea

drawn up by Robert Trigg, the

former assistant principal of

Gulf Breeze Elementary who

now serves as the assistant prin-

cipal at Woodlawn Beach

Middle School.

Trigg was on hand on Dec. 7

stamping children's train tickets

before they went into the cafete-

ria to watch the movie. During

the movie, children also got to

drink hot cocoa.

GBE students take trip to Ft.Walton Indian Temple Mound

The fourth grade at GBE enjoyed their annual field trip to the Ft.

Walton Indian Temple Mound this past week. Not only do chil-

dren learn about the area�s prehistoric populations, but they had the

enjoyment of experiencing hands-on activities such as weaving

grass and drilling by using all natural products. The students were

also privileged to see authentic artifacts such as pottery, tools,

stones and jewelry from the previous Native American tribes who

lived in the area over 14,000 years ago.

Another historic site visited was the Camp Walton Schoolhouse

Museum. This experience makes the past come alive for the stu-

dents. The Camp Walton School is the original one-room facility

created by the local community in 1911 and opened for students in

1912. During the field trip, students experienced how teaching

and learning has changed through the decades by experiencing first

hand lessons that were taught in the schoolhouse from 1912-1936.

The children discovered the difference of clothing worn by teach-

ers and students as well as the expected chores and duties of the

children who attended the school. Indeed, it was a fabulous day

where the students of GBE learned so much about the past and how

it has evolved into the present day school system.

OBE students learn how to give backThese second graders in Julie Smith�s class

at Oriole Beach Elementary are learning the

true meaning of the season.

They have collected supplies and are shown

here wrapping their �gifts� that will be shipped

off to four active duty servicemen in

Afghanistan.

Two of the servicemen are former students of

their teacher, Julie Smith who has been teach-

ing at Oriole Beach since 1991.

One of the others is a friend of the teacher

and the fourth is a cousin of one of the commu-

nity-service minded students.

Along with the gifts, decorations and cards

go the most sincere wishes for the best holiday

season possible and a safe return home in 2013.

They plan to write to the soldiers one last

time before winter break to wish them a Happy

New Year.

GIRLS

WEIGHTLIFTING

If you saw the Gildan New

Mexico Bowl on Saturday,

you�re probably thinkin� what

I'm thinkin�: �How�s that for an

opener to the bowl season?�

And, yes, I know I wrote last

week about how horrible college

football�s postseason is�but I

did warn of a plethora of points

raining down in this contest, so

give me a little credit.

As mentioned, there was

plenty of offense for fans who

love �fast-break� style football.

The teams combined for 97

points, 1,234 yards and 70 first

downs. Twice the Arizona

Wildcats overcame three-score

deficits, scoring two

touchdowns in the final minute,

to pull out a miracle 49-48

victory over the Nevada

Wolfpack.

How it all went down: After

cutting the score to 48-42 with

42 seconds left, the Wildcats

recovered an onside kick at their

own 49. Arizona only needed

three plays to score with 19

seconds left, when Matt Scott

connected with Tyler Slavin on

a 2-yard pass to tie the score at

48-48. The following PAT from

John Bonano was the deciding

margin, as Nevada quarterback

Cody Fajardo threw an

interception in the closing sec-

onds.

As thrilling as this game was,

the other contest of the day � the

Famous Idaho Potato Bowl �

was anything but, thrilling or

famous. Well, actually, despite

what the final score (Utah State

41, Toledo 15) indicates, the

game was actually pretty close.

In fact, Utah State held a four-

point advantage, 13-9, with just

7:28 remaining. The Aggies

then laid the wood, outscoring

the Rockets 28-6 to blow the

game open and complete the

program�s first ever 11-win

season.

After another several-day

layoff, get ready for the annual

football overdose. Here's a look

at the bowl schedule for the next

week, which features six games

in seven days:

Thursday, December 20

■ San Diego County Credit

Union Poinsettia Bowl -

Brigham Young vs. San Diego

State (7 p.m., ESPN)

Friday, December 21

■ Beef �O� Brady�s Bowl St.

Petersburg - Ball State vs. UCF

(6:30 p.m., ESPN)

Saturday, December 22

■ R+L Carriers New Orleans

Bowl � East Carolina vs.

Louisiana-Lafayette (11 a.m.,

ESPN)

■ MAACO Las Vegas Bowl

� Washington vs. No. 19 Boise

State (2:30 p.m., ESPN)

Monday, December 24

■ Sheraton Hawaii Bowl �

Fresno State vs. Southern

Methodist (7 p.m., ESPN)

Wednesday, December 26

■ Little Caesars Bowl �

Western Kentucky vs. Central

Michigan (6:30 p.m., ESPN)

Bowl mania is the only

newsmaker in college football

these days. Here�s a look at

some other interesting stories:

■ Bye, Bye Big East: The

Big East has, unfortunately,

become a minor-league farm

system for coaches and

programs. Prove yourself in the

Big East, and you get called up

to a bigger school or conference.

The end appears imminent, as

the league will not be able to

rebuild itself the way it did after

Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston

College left. Pitt and Syracuse

are off to the ACC. Rutgers and

Louisville are gone, too. Oh, and

seven basketball institutions

announced over the weekend

they too will be leaving.

Meanwhile, UConn and

Cincinnati are looking for a

way, any way, off this sinking

ship. At this point, each

remaining member school must

try desperately to make itself

look attractive enough for an

invitation to another conference.

The Big East already lost its

seat at the table for the future

playoff system, and it is set to

lose millions upon millions in

revenue. Sadly, the conference�s

biggest national football brand �

Boise State � has not even

played a down in the league, and

yet, the Broncos are the most

valuable commodity the

conference cannot lose in the

next several months.

■ More coaching news:

Nearly three weeks after

defensive coordinator Mark

Stoops announced he was

leaving for Kentucky, Florida

State appears to have a

replacement.

Multiple online reports

indicate Alabama defensive

backs coach Jeremy Pruitt will

get the nod. It hasn�t been

officially announced, but it is

likely that Pruitt won�t join the

FSU -coaching staff full-time

until after Alabama plays its

national championship game

against Notre Dame on Jan. 7.

■ Groupthink: Only one

team went toe to toe with Notre

Dame and Alabama this season,

the Michigan Wolverines. Both

the Tide and Irish beat

Michigan, but in much different

fashion; Alabama won 41-14,

while Notre Dame won 13-6.

Four beat writers that cover

Michigan football offered their

opinions on which national

championship combatant is the

more impressive team. The

result? Three of the four

proclaimed Alabama as the

superior team, with the

remaining opinionator

remaining firmly on the fence

without really saying much.

We'll find out for sure on Jan. 7.

■ Final thought: One thing

about the national championship

game is for certain: In a contest

of team captain�s tattoos, Notre

Dame wins, hands down. Need

proof? Check out Bama

quarterback A.J. McCarron�s

awful chest tattoo (http://out-

kickthecoverage.com/aj-mccar-

rons-chest-tattoo-is-more-won-

derful-than-ever.php).

Now compare that with ND

linebacker Manti Te�o� s

Samoan warrior arm band ink
