this newspaper. Maybe you’re a visitor. Mark us as a

feed to Freeport ,even on the web thru us, the Emerald

Star News so we can become known for all it can do

for you…...no matter ‘who’- YOU are…… Thanks! SMILE, someone Loves you!!!

Hello everybody. I sure hope your feeling good

and enjoying another relaxing day. I been run off

the Beach, by those few storms which had a lot

more lightning than I care we had pop up. Looks

like it may be that way for another week or so. I like the sounds of

the rain as it falls off a metal roof, that special moment in the air

when it is fresh and clean.

I’ve noticed a lot of tension where there usually was a calm peace. But not anymore.

To find time, to act as if the world around you doesn’t concern you is foolish on your

part. Your alive now, what are you here for? I mean as a planet we see so much despera-

tion amongst us. People now traveling at the risks of their LIFE, migrate as a nation in

despair and tragedy.

Do you feel safer here than at your northern homes? We sure hope so, our Law en-

forcement has done a fine job thus far in dealings with any protests, riots or shootings. Or

that right around the corner just waiting for the signal to KILL us for being…..White?

Yes, as if you thought I wouldn’t bring this topic up. It needs to be discussed and dealt

with properly, lives will be taken beyond what has already. I don’t say this to scare you

of those Big City BLM people are coming for destruction. Look at those beaches, do you

see what (they) would consider, um, ‘white priveledge’? Pretty white everything, includ-

ing a 98% majority of white owners, white painted villages, next to the whitest sands

you’ll ever see. ( Unless this sand replentishment sinks well and maintains it’s purity

white sands, Can you imagine? Cutbacks from a slow vacation economy, the troubles for

us it already causes.

I been taking some classes at the College, striving to dive into laws. There are so

many that I found from within this county that overlap time frames in questionable favor.

You know some of you think of a whistle-blower as a bad person. Think of how many

truths came forward from these individuals not liking what they see. How and why is that

held differently in this county? Only The BCC knows…..For 7 years my newspaper was

offered at south Annex. Cop tells me one week , no more? He said BCC made the deci-

sion. I am publicly asking for one of you to send me a letter of your reasoning. Please

forward this to them! It was timely that DFS comes out with a monthly booklet and stack

them all over where I been at for so long. Now they are limiting where my ’FREE EDI-

TION’…..FREEPORT NEWSPAPER. Public place? Please do have someone from the

board contact me on that. FREEDOM SPEECH and EXPRESSION. Did someone say

something or did they read something in this newspaper they did not like? I think, if so,

that it could Code-enforcement was offended for so many people wrote in their com-

plaints and the department didn’t want people to see how screwed up that system is.

However, I do hope they send an official E-mail or letter. I have a couple interested

parties that curious as to what you may reply with? Oh yes, there have been numerous

organizations that have contacted me on certain things. I’m exploring my rights, as I de-

cide when to take and sign the paperwork.

I hired an investigator to gather evidence for the Judge, so there won’t be any loop-

holes in how I go about this. Those of you who have been slanderous towards myself, my

Newspaper and even my Family. Can you believe the Thanks I’m shown for dedicating

8yrs to a Newspaper this City has never had. There was a 5yr period where people used

us regularly, they disappear for they failed to advertise? No one knows that your in the

city well enough to come eat dinner, take a break before the beach. I have to assume that

many of you don’t care to understand these simple facts, keeping your name out in the

public, what? Do you have a commercial on TV I missed? We do have the Best Deal !

Judge Orders Kim Davis Freed from Kentucky

Jail A federal judge ruled Tuesday that a Kentucky clerk who has refused to issue

marriage licenses to same-sex couples may leave jail, but her lawyer says she'll

continue blocking licenses when she returns to work.

Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue same-sex marriage

licenses, walked out of jail on Tuesday after the U.S. district court judge who

found her in contempt said he was satisfied licenses were being issued in accor-

dance with a U.S. Supreme Court decision.

U.S. District Judge David Bunning ordered her release after six days in jail, say-

ing she "shall not interfere in any way, directly or indirectly, with the efforts of

her deputy clerks to issue marriage licenses to all legally eligible couples."

If she tries to interfere, "that will be considered a violation of this Order and ap-

propriate sanctions will be considered," Bunning said.

Her lawyer, Mathew Staver, as well as Republican presidential hopeful Mike

Huckabee were at Davis' side in front of the Carter County Detention Center,

listening to supporters sing, shout and wave flags.

“Kim is someone who is loyal to God and is loyal to her job and her people. She

plans to be back at work this week,” said Staver.

"Kim Davis cannot and will not violate her conscience," Staver said.

As an Apostolic Christian, Davis says she believes a marriage can only be be-

tween a man and a woman. She has refused to issue any marriage licenses since

the U.S. Supreme Court in June made same-sex marriages legal across the United

States. While she was jailed, the county's deputy clerks issued marriage licenses

to several same-sex couples.

"Federal judges are nothing to be trifled with and that is whether they were ap-

pointed by a Democrat or a Republican," said Ron Johnson, president of the Ken-

tucky Justice Association, an association of trial lawyers.

Bunning grew up in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, as one of nine children born to Jim

and Mary Bunning. While lawyers who have argued cases before him said he

expresses no political opinions in the courtroom, his mother offered a glimpse of

his leaning in an interview with local media.

"David is an honest person," Mary Bunning told Cincinnati.com before the deci-

sion. "He doesn't agree with the Supreme Court but has to obey the law."

Bunning, one of eight judges sitting on the Eastern District bench, was escorted.

Office Issues Citizens Rate Filing Order

. – The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (Office) has established the 2016 rates

for Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (Citizens). The overall estimated statewide

average rate changes are shown in the chart below and includes no rate increases for

sinkhole coverage. The Order sets the rates for Citizens multi-peril and coastal Home-

owners, Dwelling Fire, Mobile Homeowners and Mobile Homeowners Dwelling Fire

accounts.

The Office modified some of Citizens’ recommended rates to address key issues cited

as causes for increasing homeowners’ insurance costs for policyholders in South Florida

and on the coast. These included Citizens’ purchase this year of more private reinsur-

ance (insurance for insurance companies) and pre-event financing (a short-term loan to

recover claims costs payable by the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund). Citizens an-

swered questions and provided further clarification on these issues, as well as, the surge

in water loss trends in three South Florida counties at a public rate hearing on August

25, 2015. The Office’s subsequent findings are described in more detail within the Or-

der.

The effective date for both new and renewal rates within the Personal

Lines Account (PLA) and Coastal Account (CA) is February 1, 2016.

The chart below provides the overall statewide average estimated rate

changes established by the Office for each account individually:

Rate filing decisions for the commercial residential and commercial

non-residential accounts are still pending.

Rate filings can be accessed via the “I-File Forms & Rate

Search” system using the following search criteria in either the “Quick

Search” or “Advanced Search” options: file log numbers or by entering

“Citizens Property Insurance Corporation” as the “company

name”. When the selection appears, scroll to the bottom of the results

page for the most recent filing information.

site for additional information.

Luxury is anything that feels special. I mean, it can be a

mean expensive. Aerin Lauder

Chewing Tobacco Kills More Than

250,000 Yearly

British study is first to assess international impact of smokeless to-

bacco on adults

While cigarette smoking is a known killer, many people don't realize

that smokeless tobacco is linked to more than a quarter of a million

deaths worldwide each year, British researchers report.

The University of York team said its analysis of data from 113 coun-

tries and other sources is the first study to assess the international im-

pact of smokeless tobacco on adults.

"It is possible that these figures are underestimated, and future studies

may reveal that the impact is even bigger. We need a global effort to

try and address and control smokeless tobacco," lead researcher Kam-

ran Siddiqi, a senior lecturer in epidemiology and public health at

York, said in a university news release.

The researchers estimated that in 2010 alone, smokeless tobacco

caused more than 62,000 deaths due to cancers of the mouth, pharynx

and esophagus, and more than 200,000 deaths from heart disease.

India is a particular hotspot, and accounts for 74 percent of smokeless

tobacco-related disease worldwide,

"We have got no international policy on how to regulate the produc-

tion, composition, sale, labeling, packaging and marketing of smoke-

less tobacco products," Siddiqi said.

"The international framework to control tobacco doesn't seem to work

to control smokeless tobacco. It doesn't get the same regulation as

cigarettes.

Russia undeterred after Kerry phone call, continues flights to Syria

Moscow is continuing to send military cargo flights

to Syria despite Secretary of State John Kerry call-

ing his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov over the

weekend to voice "concerns" about the "imminent"

buildup of Russian military forces there.

Multiple U.S. officials who have reviewed the latest

intelligence in Syria told Fox News that the U.S.

military is tracking multiple flights of Russia's larg-

est military cargo plane, the Antonov An-124

Ruslan -- better known by its NATO codename,

"Condor."

This includes one flight Tuesday morning into

Latakia, a Syrian port city along the Mediterranean

Sea controlled by the Assad regime and home to

Russian military forces.

This is the first time in months the U.S. military has

seen flights of the large Russian transport planes,

one official said. The official called this develop-

ment "very troubling."

In a statement released Saturday after Kerry's call

with Foreign Minister Lavrov, the State Department

warned that Russia's continued actions could

"further escalate the conflict" and "risk confronta-

tion with the anti-ISIL Coalition operating in

Syria."

The statement appeared to mark a change in policy

from last week when the Pentagon and State Depart-

ment initially welcomed Russia's increased involve-

ment in Syria.

Teens Using E-Cigarettes to 'Vape' Pot: Survey here's new reason for

parents to be concerned about e-cigarettes: nearly one in five kids who

uses e-cigarettes may be using the devices to get high, a study finds.

And, parents may not always know it's happening.

"Police and parents report difficulty in detecting vaporized cannabis use

because it is easily concealed by the absence of the pungent and character-

istic odor of smoked cannabis," the study authors wrote.

A confidential survey revealed that 18 percent of e-cigarette users in Con-

necticut high schools have "vaped" marijuana at some point, or used an e-

cigarette to get high. In addition, more than one-quarter of kids who de-

scribe themselves as dual users of both e-cigarettes and marijuana have

used the devices get high, the researchers found.

The kids use the e-cigarette devices to burn hash oil or waxy hash "dabs,"

or simply burn dried pot leaves using the heat generated by the battery-

powered devices, How? converting the e-cigarettes for marijuana use.

Dozens of Muslim Men

Raped One 12-Year-

Old Schoolgirl, But

Only Five Have Been

Jailed So Far? The taxi drivers and market trad-

ers had been found guilty in July,

but have now been sentenced for

a range of crimes including rape

of a child under 13 and child pros-

titution.

Although child ‘A’, who had been

12 and 13-years-old when she was

abused told police she had been

raped by at least 60 men, only 11

of the men have faced charges.

The girl and a second, identified

only as child ‘B’ had been given

gifts by the men, including fast

food, drugs, and inexpensive trin-

kets in return for sex and were

passed around.

The plight of the first girl was

only flagged by authorities after

she had given birth twice in two

years and couldn’t identify the

fathers, reports The Guardian.

She had been raped so frequently

– daily – by different men, she

had no way of telling. During his

sentencing, senior judge John

Bevan QC said the race of the girls played a significant

factor in why they had been picked for abuse by the men.

He said that the Asian community looked after their own,

while the native one failed to do so, remarking:

“The combination of inadequate parenting leading to re-

bellious children lacking supervision provided an opportu-

nity. If they pursued Asian underage girls, they would

have paid a heavy price in their community.”

Vikram Singh, 45, drugged the

girls and raped them, and has

been identified as a ringleader.

He was sentenced to 14

years. Asif Hussain, 33, of Mil-

ton Keynes, was convicted of

three counts of rape and jailed

for 13 years. attempted to sell

her on to men who resembled

“Osama Bin Laden”.

Muslim Refugees Chant “Allahu Akbar,”

Meanwhile, an eyewitness at the Italy-Austrian border relates

how she saw an elderly Italian woman grabbed by her hair and

pulled from her car by a group of “aggressive young men” who

wanted to steal the car to get to Germany, while others threw

excrement at bystanders.

“Half an hour ago on the border between Italy

and Austria i saw a huge crowd of immigrants.

With all solidarity to people in difficult circum-

stances I have to say that what I saw arouses

horror. This huge mass of people – sorry – but

it’s an absolute wilderness … Vulgar, throwing

bottles, shouting “We want Germany”. So what,

Germany is now a paradise?”

“I saw an elderly Italian woman in a car that was sur-

rounded by the immigrants. They pulled her by the hair

out of the car and wanted to use it to go to Germany. They

tried to topple the bus I was in. They threw feces at us,

banging on the door for the driver to open it, spat on the

glass. My question is- for what purpose? How do they want

to assimilate in Germany? For a moment, i felt like in a

warzone. I really feel sorry for these people, but if they

would reach Poland – I do not think they would receive any

understanding from us.”

Expert Says: “Look who’s going

bankrupt next in America” No one believed Porter Stansberry seven years

ago.

As head of one of America’s largest independ-

ent financial research firms, Mr. Stansberry’s

work back in 2008 led him to a bold, but worri-

some, conclusion:

That the world’s largest mortgage bankers–

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which at the time

were responsible for nearly 50% of all the

mortgages in America–would soon go bank-

rupt.

We all know what happened next.

Both agencies went bust—and if not for a bail-

out from the Federal Government, both would

have declared bankruptcy.

Barron’s—America’s second biggest financial

newspaper—even wrote a story about Mr.

Stansberry’s accurate prediction short, and

called it “remarkably prescient.”

This collapse, says Stansberry, will change

everything about our normal way of life: where

you vacation… where you send your kids or

grandkids to school… how and where you

shop… the way you protect your family and

home.

I strongly encourage you to check out Mr.

Stansberry’s recent write-up on this situation.

Public Notice: Safety First For All

The UF/IFAS Extension Walton County Office in conjunction

with the Florida Department of Health Walton County is hosting

the 3rd annual Safety First For All, safety event, as a way to

recognize National Child Passenger Safety Week and other safety

topics that are important to the health of our community.

September 19, 2015 #SFAWalton

Child safety seats reduce child deaths and injuries, but they can

be difficult to install and are commonly misused. National High-

way Traffic Safety Administration found more than 70 percent of

the children were riding in child safety seats that were being criti-

cally misused — defined as a misuse that could increase the risk

of injury in a crash. The most common types of misuse were

loose safety belts attaching the seat to the vehicle and loose har-

ness straps. (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety)

Every 34 seconds one child under age 13 is involved in a crash.

Many times deaths and injuries can be prevented by proper use of

car seats, boosters, and seat belts.

In addition to a FREE child passenger seat check point station

there will also be information available on safety related to bicy-

cles, water, fire, electrical, senior driving, finances, and more!

Community partners will have tables/booths with information and

activities.

This event will also showcase StoryWalk Project® featuring

“A Home For Hopper”. #HopWalton

We encourage you to attend and bring the entire family.

Event Date and Time: Saturday, September 19, 2015

9:00 – 11:00 a.m.

Event Location:

Wee Care Park

522 Walton Road

DeFuniak, Florida 32433

Car seat checks, bicycle helmet fittings, and other services/

incentives will be provided for free/donation while supplies last.

The Walton County Master Gardeners have recently

landscaped a new Habitat for Humanity home in Free-

port. The family has moved in and the home

was dedicated on August 31, 2015. The Master Gar-

deners thank their community partners for help with

this project. Walmart of DeFuniak Springs provided a

gift card which went to purchase plants and sup-

plies. Russell Landscape Company donated and deliv-

ered pine straw for the project. Pictured l to r- are

Walton Master Gardeners Intel review backs up finding

that Clinton emails had

‘top secret’ information

A new re-

view by two

intelligence

agencies has

backed up an

earlier con-

clusion that

at least two

emails on Hillary Clinton's personal server

contained "top secret" information.

The review by the Central Intelligence

Agency and the National Geospatial-

Intelligence Agency went back to the origi-

nal source documents, and follows the find-

ing last month by the intelligence commu-

nity inspector general that emails on the

former secretary of state's system contained

information at the highest classification

level. This included intelligence on special

programs about North Korea's nuclear

weapons.

Fox News is told the CIA and NGA did the

review because their intelligence was at

issue. Only the intelligence agency that gets

the information in the first place has the

authority to determine its classification.

In both emails, the State Department did not

generate the intelligence, and therefore did

not have classification authority. The in-

spector general's August report simply

transmitted the classification findings of the

CIA and NGA.

In a statement, Andrea Williams, a spokes-

woman for the intelligence community in-

spector general, said "the overall classifica-

tion of those two emails remains unchanged.

Both emails were classified when they were

created and remain classified now."

And it could cause problems for the Democ-

ratic presidential front-runner as she tries to

shake off and downplay questions about the

private system.

She told the Associated Press in an interview

that "what I did was allowed" and reiterated

that she did not "send or receive" informa-

tion marked classified at the time.

And she again boiled down the debate to a

dispute among agencies.

"There is always a debate among different

agencies about what something should be

retroactively (marked classified)," "But at

the time, there were none. So I'm going to

keep answering the questions and providing

the facts so that people can understand better

what happened."

Clinton gave her server and thumb drive to

the FBI a month ago. Nixon was impeached for much less of

a crime she has committed for sure!

Dear Editor,

I want to Thank you for all you do to help the

senior citizens in this area. Many of us are on

fixed income, and when repairs around our

home is in dire need. I called you to see if you

can help.

I was embarrassed to be living in such condi-

tions, but I have been taken advantage of by

these crack heads who only try to take your

money, then never return to help us.

I saw your facial expression when you saw my

roof leaking down my wall and into my bed-

room.

I’ll never forget what you said to me,” no one

should live in moldy, hard to breathe air”, espe-

cially when I had paid 3 people before you to

come and fix it.

The way you addressed the problem made me

cry. I’m too old for these dope heads to keep

ripping me off. Cause I’m OLD.

But you, Mr. Wolfe. Replaced all the rotted

wood, used your own material to stop the leak-

ing. You even fixed my door so I can sleep

safely at night. I wish I had more money to pay

you. Your heart is in the right place for so

many people don’t care about the people like

you do.

I know I won’t be alive in another year or two.

But, God has a place in Heaven for the good

deeds you do for us less fortunate. You’re a

great Man, doing what you do.

Evelynn Hosier

Hello Ms. Evelynn,

I hope your feeling better too. Sometimes I

may have some odds and ends I keep around

just for in case of situations like yours.

I have been in touch with your church as well

to offer my skills to help the elderly. Those

folks eyes lit up when I told them what I can do

to help them. They gathering lists now.

I hate to “charge” anything but I also have a

family too. God spoke to me, when I thought of

closing the newspaper down, it was the people

like yourself that popped into my mind. I will

not desert you or anyone else whom I can help.

Just as us all, our lives are shorter than we

like. Along with this Newspaper, I intend on

living here till my last days and would hope

that if I couldn’t afford the service fees and

other high costs…...someone could still help

me live clean, dry and safe. Thank you, Frank

It is what it is . . . but what will you DO about it, Freeport? Over the last few months I’ve received numerous calls on my

cell phone informing me that my dog was found on the side of

the road and had been hit. One might at first believe the caller

was a concerned citizen, and an animal lover, trying to reunite

the injured dog with his owner.

The first time this occurred, I had just left my house to run er-

rands, leaving my dogs secured in their indoor kennels. Panic

flooded my brain as I tried to fathom how one of my dogs had

escaped the security of my home. So, I questioned the caller,

asking what did the dog look like and how was my phone num-

ber obtained? The caller replied that they had found my number

on the dog’s tag, but their description of the dog was wrong.

Obviously, it wasn’t either of my dogs. Okay, honest mistake,

maybe. Thanks for calling.

Then, it happened again. This time I was suspicious instead of

frightened. You guessed it, the caller described a breed of dog I

didn’t own. I replied harshly that I don’t own a Yorkie and hung

up.

The next time I got this scam call, my dogs were beside me on

the couch. Click!

What would have happened to me if I had been duped and

agreed to meet any of these callers? Would I have been robbed?

Is this a clever ISIS attempt to kidnap people to hold for hostage,

or a human trafficker looking for fresh bodies or body parts? My

imagination envisioned other equally disturbing scenarios.

In our current culture of non-morality, there is a need to be hyper

-cautious, especially if you are young, a single woman or elderly.

Women especially are vulnerable, as we are taught by society to

be sweet and kind toward everyone. Unfortunately, in this day

and age, with these kinds of threats, being sweet and kind toward

strangers might lead to a dangerous situation, which you might

not return from. Southern women will vanish as the gentile

creatures we have been, and no longer “bless your heart.”

In Walton County, Florida, we have Animal Control and laws,

but they aren’t enforced. Ask anyone who has ever called the

Sheriff about a neighbor’s dog continually being allowed to run

freely, off leash or without the control of the owner, creating a

danger to you or your property. You are on your own to deal

with the problem, if your neighbor is not considerate or responsi-

ble. No amount of evidence is sufficient, so forget taking pic-

tures or videos. Law enforcement will NOT help you and will

tell you they have to see it happening in order to take action.

REALLY?

The people who developed Walton County will tell you that no

one used to get upset about someone trespassing on their land.

Well, those same people sold their land and took our money for

it. We now hold deeds that state we have the right to “quiet en-

joyment” of it. So, no matter if we are natives or transplants, we

have the right to say who or what comes onto our property. If

you didn’t want that “change” then you shouldn’t have taken our

money. Now, we demand protection of our property rights from

invaders, which the Sheriff has consistently refused to do.

Con’t on next column………..

Continued…...More and more, it is becoming

increasingly difficult to get the agencies in our county,

to respond to or address the growing problems that af-

fect all of us and our ability to live here safely and

peacefully. Making neighbors be at war with each.

A beautiful place to visit, but what the “terrorist-

tourists” don’t know is, that’s it is hell to live in. The

tourists are presenting many problems themselves, that

aren’t dealt with by anyone in authority, because of the

fear of losing the revenue and accompanying jobs.

Personally, a bad house guest in my home gets shown

the door and they are NEVER invited back. With so

many visitors, laws need to be enforced!!!

Maybe, we also need a three times strike and you

can’t come back rule? Illegals too, then what?

Just traveling down the obstacle course of Highway 331

is taking your life in your hands, particularly if a tourist

or construction worker doesn’t want to adhere to the 45

M.P.H. posted speed limit and tailgates or illegally

passes you creating a danger for north and southbound

traffic. Where is law enforcement? Maybe we need

citizen patrols on our streets. Is that possible?

Law enforcement in Walton County is hit and miss, and

it seems they are just sitting like intimidating sentinels,

on every corner of our neighborhoods, unable or unwill-

ing to do the difficult job of “protect and serve” ALL of

the citizens. Instead, to this writer, it appears the law-

less are the ones being protected, particularly the law-

less who have influential contacts or deep pockets.

I recently had the pleasure of a long conversation with

the Publisher/Editor of this paper, Mr. Frank Wolfe, Jr.,

and discussed some of the things I’ve written here and

my concerns with the problems in Walton County. It is

my hope, that Mr. Wolfe, with the cooperation of the

Mayor Russ Barley, will begin to support you to discuss

how these problems can be brought to light and solved.

I hope everyone in Walton County will support such an

endeavor, voice yourself, fully participate at these meet-

ings to voice other’s comments and ideas. Call, if you

can’t make it. The red tape is ridiculous, bad surveys!

Together, We the People of Walton County, can make

this a beautiful place to live again.

Firstborn girl? Scientists find an unexpected disadvantage Women who are firstborn children tend to be heavier

than their younger sisters — and it's got nothing to do

with genetics, researchers say.

A new study of more than 26,000 Swedish women found

that firstborns were nearly 30 percent more likely to be

overweight and 40 percent more likely to be obese than

their younger siblings were.

We can't do anything about our birth order, The research-

ers suspect that conditions in a woman's uterus change

after her first baby is born. During a woman's first preg-

nancy, blood vessels to the placenta are narrow, Cutfield

says. "And this information has led to the hypothesis that

firstborns were exposed to in utero compromise, which

reprograms metabolism and the regulation of fat," he

explains. None less the size difference between sisters.

HUNTING SEASON OPENS NEXT MONTH

Hunting with a bow or crossbow is a great way to

get a jump on the gun hunters. Bowhunters are

allowed in the woods a month-and-a-half earlier

and get that first crack at the deer. Plus, during

archery season, you can also take antlerless deer,

which really increases your chances of putting

venison in the freezer.

Maybe that’s why bowhunting continues to be so

popular in Florida, accounting for more than 10

percent of all deer harvested, 15 percent of har-

vested does and 25 percent of the deer taken on

wildlife management areas. Last year, more than

30,000 people bowhunted in Florida.

And along with hunting the rut, early bow sea-

sons provide a great opportunity to take a trophy

whitetail and arguably are among the best times

to do so. In northwest Florida, it’s even better

because bucks are still hangin’ out in their bache-

lor groups.

If you’re stealthy enough and have done your pre

-season homework, you have a good chance of a

nice one coming within shooting range of your

bowhunting setup. In the early season, before the

deer are under as much hunting pressure, they are

more active during daylight hours. When gun

season hits, you might not see that big ’un again

for the rest of the year, except for maybe a picture

of him taken from your trail camera in the middle

of the night.

Archery and crossbow seasons begin on Oct. 24

this year.

Make sure your license and required permits are

up to date. To hunt during archery season, you’ll

need a Florida hunting license and an archery

permit. During crossbow season, you’ll need a

hunting license and crossbow permit. If you’re a

Florida resident, an annual hunting license costs

$17. Nonresidents have the choice of paying

$46.50 for a 10-day license or $151.50 for 12

months. Archery and crossbow permits are $5

each, and all deer hunters must have the $5 deer

permit.

Anyone planning on hunting one of Florida’s

many WMAs must purchase a management

area permit for $26.50.

While you can’t use dogs to hunt deer or tur-

keys, you are allowed to use dogs on a leash to

help you trail any wounded game.

Refugees and Migrants at German

Fairgrounds Arrive to Warm Welcome

— And Pizza

The German government has drawn kudos for opening the nation's

borders to an influx of asylum seekers — but everyday Germans are

also winning hearts through an outpouring of generosity to new arri-

vals.

Refugees and migrants at the Munich Fairgrounds on Tuesday raved

about the warm welcome they had received in Germany after their

long and difficult journeys through Europe.

The nation is expecting to shelter about 800,000 foreigners who are

pouring through its borders this year, many of them escaping Syria's

civil war. The country is planning to take in a half-million migrants

a year for the next several years, officials have said.

This latest group of arrivals was applauded upon entering Germany,

given candy, water and backpacks filled with clothes. Then they

were taken to the fairgrounds where they had shelter and — most

importantly — safety for a good night's sleep.

There was also an overwhelming supply of clothes, gear and toilet-

ries to choose from — and then a final treat — of the Italian variety

.A local Italian joint — Lovely Pizza — had heard about the thou-

sands being housed in the fairgrounds and came to offer some com-

fort food ahead of their journeys.

The staff brought party-size pizzas and pasta — and the donation

was a big hit, especially with the many children present. They put

down their new toys and dug in, sitting on the sidewalk.

"Germany, good!" one of the new arrivals shouted, giving a thumbs

up.One migrant had an etiquette question about eating the food:

Should he use a fork? A volunteer who came to distribute the pies

showed him the best way to enjoy a hot, steaming slice. The timing

was perfect: As the pizza boxes emptied, a bus pulled up. The

migrants and refugees finished their snacks, hauled their bags.

Being a Sports Family

By: Rian Lyday

“Just play. Have

fun. Enjoy the

game.”

-Michael Jordan

It is the time of year when people paint their faces

different colors, dress-up in crazy costumes, and

follow superstitious rituals…I’m not talking about

Halloween, I’m talking about fall sports season! If

you want your child to come out of their youth

sports experience a winner, then you have to set the

example. You are a vital and important part of the

coach-athlete-parent team. If you do your job cor-

rectly and play your position well, then your child

will learn the sport faster, perform better, really have

fun and have his/her self-esteem enhanced as a re-

sult. Sports experiences serve as a positive model for

your child as they face other challenges and obsta-

cles throughout life. Your son/daughter and their

coach need you ON the team but in a supportive

role. Here are thirteen recommended steps to help

your child’s success on and off the field.

UNDERSTAND YOUR CHILD'S

COMPETITION IS THEIR MOST

VALUABLE TRAINING PARTNER

ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO

COMPETE AGAINST HIM/

HERSELF

DON'T DEFINE SUCCESS AND

FAILURE IN TERMS OF

WINNING AND LOSING

BE SUPPORTIVE, DON'T COACH!

HELP MAKE THE SPORT FUN FOR

YOUR CHILD

WHOSE GOAL IS IT? IT'S YOUR

CHILD'S SPORT!

YOUR CHILD IS NOT THEIR

PERFORMANCE - LOVE THEM

UNCONDITIONALLY

REMEMBER THE IMPORTANCE OF

BUILDING SELF-ESTEEM IN ALL

OF YOUR INTERACTIONS

TEACH YOUR CHILD THE GIFT OF

FAILURE

CHALLENGE, DON'T THREATEN

STRESS THE PROCESS, NOT THE

OUTCOME

AVOID COMPARISONS AND

RESPECT DEVELOPMENTAL

DIFFERENCES

TEACH YOUR CHILD TO HAVE A

PERSPECTIVE OF THEIR SPORT

That’s tough for parent’s today to realize that a fancy scholarship is nice, it helps. However, what if child’s injury from that sport affects them the rest of both your lives, what’s it worth? Let the children play, parents step back
