Lifeguard Ambulance came to Santa Rosa County in 2007 with a mission to be-come the”‘best part of some-one’s worse day,” according to Jason Kimbrell, the re-gional director of operations for Lifeguard Ambulance Service.
Thursday, Lifeguard in-creased that commitment to residents as it broke ground
on a four phase expansion that will take five years to complete, including moving its regional headquarters to its current location on Ava-lon Boulavard.
Since starting operations in September 2007, Lifegaurd has gone from 70 employees to over 150, and in the first phase of the expansion, they are expected to add another 25 to 30 jobs, with an average salary of $40,000-plus.
“Lifeguard is staying
consistent in the natural progression of our growth in Santa Rosa County,” Kim-brell said. “We have stayed on the forefront of innovation in our industry and by doing this, we are growing strong and continually adding jobs to Santa Rosa County.
“Santa Rosa County is a prime location to expand and it has an Emergency Management Service that

On Wednesday night, it took all of five minutes for members of the Santa Rosa County Commission to approve incentives for Project Vortex.
Project Vortex is a prospective cli-ent considering bringing 700 jobs to the former Clearwire builing in Santa Rosa County Industrial Park.
Commissioners approved the Super QTI (Qualified Target Industry) incen-tive of $200 a job up to 700 jobs for a pe-riod of five years if Santa Rosa County is selected.
“Keep in mind that we are only in the hunt,” said Santa Rosa County Commissioner Don Salter prior to the vote. “With this incentive, we hope to become a better competitive decision to this prospect.”
Santa Rosa County Administra-tor Hunter Walker pointed out to the commissioners that when and if the Santa Rosa County site is selected, they would enter into an agreement and outline the requirements of how it would be implemented.
Commissioner Bob Cole had ques-tions heading into the meeting, but those issues were quickly addressed.
“At first I was concerned about the viability of the company, but I see this is a performance based incentive to get the money.”
Project Vortex is a tech support/call service prospect that is expected to pay salaries just below the county average, according to reports.
Santa Rosa County is the only loca-tion in Florida the company is looking at but, according to Ildi Hosman, public relations director and media specialist for TEAM, there is a small handful of other sites being considered.
“This company is looking to get started in early 2012,” Hosman said. “They actually contacted Cindy

Federal agents spent about eight hours Wednes-day searching the home and business of Santa Rosa
County Commissioner Bob Cole.
There were eight vehi-cles and 10 or more FBI and IRS agents at Cole’s home Wednesday morning. The agents appeared to spend the early part of the day searching a garage area. Hammering was heard on the property.
No arrests were made.The FBI and IRS also en-
tered Cole’s business, Bob Cole’s Automotive, on Long
Street in Pensacola. They removed computers and reviewed paperwork at the business.
A person who answered the phone at Bob Cole’s Au-tomotive hung up when a re-porter identified himself.
A woman answered Cole’s cellphone Wednesday afternoon, but immediately hung up.

Home explodes in Tanglewood area of Milton
By Bill [email protected]
A Milton resident was taking a shower at his home in the 5600 block of Wychewood Road when his home unex-pectedly exploded.
The home of Lynn Echols unexpect-edly exploded just after 3 p.m. Thursday afternoon and was a total loss, despite the efforts of units from Skyline, East Milton, Whiting Field, City of Milton, Al-lentown, Pace and Harold fire depart-ments.
“I was laying off today from doing anything due to the cold weather so nothing was on,” Echols said while fire-fighters worked to extinguish the blaze. “I was taking a shower and heard the explosion that rocked the house so hard I fell down.
“After I got out, I talked to a neighbor
two blocks away and he said it knocked him over as well.”
A cause of the fire was unknown, but according to the Santa Rosa County Emergency Communications center, multiple calls were made reporting the fire and explosions at 3:07 p.m.
As firefighters responded, several small explosions were credited to rounds of ammunition kept in the home that were going off because of the fire’s heat.
David Morris, a friend of Echols who lives on Kirkland Drive, ran to the home to check on Echols, who has health prob-lems.
“It sounded like a bomb went off and I felt the ground shake at my house,” Mor-ris said. “I looked up and saw the smoke and fire and ran to check on Lynn to see if he was okay or needed help.

Yes, my name is Dee and I have read the paper the last few times and have noticed a particular advertisement. I think it is distasteful to have a half page ad for glass pipes, scales and rolling cigarette items. These
are not used for rolling your own tobacco and cigarettes. I think this is very distasteful for a newspaper.
Wednesday, 12:58 p.m.
Hey, this is Jeff and I have several comments after seeing the Nov. 30 paper. I agree Bagdad Cemetery needs attention, but make it a school project or something for scouts.
As for the volunteer fire departments, don’t be rude. They work 24/7 and are volunteers. I agree Scratch Ankle and First Friday should be combined and moved to Carpenters Park, which is close to downtown. And the traffic on Highway 90 is not caused by Scratch Ankle, but has been a nightmare for years.
Wednesday, 11:55 a.m.
The only way we can rid ourselves of these
county commissioners we talk about is to change the way we vote. \
We need to have our county commissioners live in the district they are running for and only those who live in the district can vote for them. We have people in the south end of the county and Pace voting for commissioners and they don’t know what we have to put up with.
Tuesday, 5:33 p.m.Hi I just want to thank
the downtown people who have decorated downtown Milton so beautifully. I love the way this project has grown and it is looking more and more beautiful each year. We have friends from out of town who love to drive through downtown just to look at all the lights.
Tuesday, 10:43 a.m.This is Walter. I really
enjoyed the Press Gazette editorial page on Nov. 23. The article on “Our Take” was a lot to think
about. Hightower really told the truth on Walmart and Hart’s article was not only humorous, but can we say God and politics in the same sentence.
I also agree with his choice for president. Ron Paul might not be the most flamboyant, but look at what dynamic and flamboyant has gotten us. And has anyone heard from the man from Illinois and what the $10,000 got us? I know, $450,000 is not nearly enough.
TEAM needs to go, thank you very much.

When former United Way of Santa Rosa County Campaign Di-rector Kendra Parsons knew she was looking to move, she sought the input of local community activ-ist Kyle Holley for suggestions to replace her.
After some deep thought and soul searching about the pos-sible prospects, Holley decided he would be the best candidate for the job, and the United Way of Santa Rosa County Board of Directors ultimately agreed.
Holley has spent about one week on the job already and said he is excited about what United Way of Santa Rosa County is do-ing.
“Things are going well, and I am enjoying the climate at the United Way,” Holley said. “I knew of the great work they did at the United Way, but what surprised me was just how efficient they are with an administrative rate of 8 percent.
“Most agencies like this are lucky if they can stay within 10 per-cent, but United Way of Santa Rosa County far exceeds that.”
In addition to the ongoing finan-cial campaign, Holley is working on the Coats for Kids campaign, which officially kicked off in late November.
“We are doing real well in this campaign and just received 200 coats from the town of Jay,” Hol-ley said.
While the Coasts for Kids cam-paign in under way, Holley also is working on the United Way of Santa Rosa County’s annual cam-paign, which is $500,000 this year.
“We have reached about 55 percent of our goal, and I am very excited about working to help achieve that goal,” Holley said. “We are getting a lot more requests for help this year, but employee contributions are down a little, which is just a sign of the economic times today.”
Before Holley joined the Unit-ed Way, he said he felt like he was doing much of the same works in the community as an activist working with his horse, Tuffy, and
other organizations throughout the county.
UWSRC serves its residents through Coats for Kids, Cram the Van, Toys for Tots and First Call for Help. United Way of Santa Rosa County has been serving residents in Jay, Milton, Navarre, Gulf Breeze, Midway, Chumuck-la and Harold for more than 50 years.
“We’re happy to have Kyle on board with his expertise and back-ground,” said UWSRC Executive Director Guy Thompson. “I feel he will be able to help United Way be more successful with its mis-sion and future campaigns.”
United Way of Santa Rosa County manages one of three re-gional campaigns in Northwest Florida. Funding is deployed lo-cally through direct services and partner agencies like Interfaith Ministries, Early Learning Coali-tion and Council on Aging.
“I’m grateful to highlight the self-sacrificing, strong-hearted and compassionate core of Santa Rosa County’s people,” Holley said. “Their giving nature, even in difficult times, inspires me and has drawn me to the United Way
of Santa Rosa County. Addition-ally, the board of directors has a sound history of conservative management and efficient use of donor dollars.”
One thing Holley is hoping to do is help build a stronger bond between the north and south ends of Santa Rosa County through various agencies that United Way of Santa Rosa County works with on an annually.
“The effectiveness of this or-ganization does not show on a fi-nancial sheet,” Holley said. “Since joining United Way of Santa Rosa County, I have realized this, and I am glad to be a part of it.”
UWSRC values its partner-ships with businesses, churches, civic groups and media partners who consistently support com-munity efforts, such as Coats for Kids. Coats are being collected through Jan. 31 to be distributed throughout the winter. To donate or partner for the drive, contact Marianne Back, Coats for Kids coordinator, at 623-4507 or [email protected].

A residential structure fire on the 4800 block of Covenant Circle in the Pace Fire District represents the first candle to be extinguished on the “Keep Your Holidays Bright” fire safety tree.
Santa Rosa County Emergency Communications was notified of the fire at 4:15 a.m. by the homeowner who reported smoke in the home.
Units from Pace, Avalon and Skyline fire departments responded to the fire, which was contained to the attic. The family of two is temporarily displaced by the fire, which is believed to have been caused by a faulty heating system. Damage is estimated at $25,000-50,000.
Santa Rosa County emergency service agencies are teaming up for the fifth year to promote fire safety during the month of December with the “Keep Your Holidays Bright” campaign. While a joyous time of year, cold weather, holiday decorations and festivities can create serious fire dangers. Fire fighters hope to reduce the number of fires in Santa Rosa County by promoting simple, life-saving holiday safety tips throughout the month. Here are some more fire safety tips for the upcoming days during the “Keep Your Holidays Bright” campaign:
Dec. 4 When you set up
your tree, make sure that it is not close to a heat source, including fireplaces, open flames, space heaters, or heater vents. Live trees should be watered regularly and if it becomes dried out, it should be replaced immediately.
Dec. 5 If you are using an
artificial tree this holiday season, make sure it is made of flame retardant materials. Prelit trees can still catch on fire or cause an electrical shock if the wires are frayed or damaged.
Dec. 6 When using a
ladder to hang lights or decorations, remember the three Ls of ladder safety. Locks should be properly engaged. Ladders should only be used on a Level surface. The Last (top) step or rung should not be used unless it is designed for that purpose.
Dec.7 Prior to hanging
holiday lights, inspect the entire set for damage and do not connect more than three strands together in succession, unless the directions indicate it is safe. When using extension cords or large numbers of lights, make sure you do not overload electrical outlets.

Dottie Furr, long time resident of Avalon Beach, Fla., celebrated her 90th Birthday on Nov. 13.
On Nov. 12, her family gave her a surprise birthday party at her home with about forty family members and friends attending.
Dottie was born in Lindsay’s Mill, Ala. in 1921 and lived through the great depression, WWII and every war thereafter. She knew Pappy Boyington, Marion Carl and several other famous WWII pilots and partied at Carpenter’s Restaurant and Side Bar in West Pensacola, a former famous hangout for the military.
She was once married to a Marine Colonel and her life was filled with glamour and glitz. She traveled from Pensacola, to California and Hawaii.
After she married a Navy Chief, Howard Furr, she traveled to Virginia Beach, Va. and Southern Indiana then came back to the Pensacola and Milton area to stay.
Furr worked in marketing when she first moved to Avalon Beach and later opened a little shop in her home on San Miguel Street called “Dottie’s Do Dad’s.”
She was a multi-talented woman and an artist. She enjoyed painting and taking art classes. Most of her life, Furr was a very crafty domestic person and dabbled in just about everything. She was a seamstress and would make nightgowns and robes to sell in her shop as well as make jewelry and ceramics. She had her own kiln and several molds and helped many
other friends paint and fire ceramics. She was a very interesting person to be around and could talk about any subject that came up. To this day she is a very smart and beautiful woman and enjoys dressing up and looking her best at all times.
Furr has endured several surgeries over the years and had lower bypass surgery a few years ago. Before her surgery she was not interested in much of anything and because she could not hear well she could not follow television. Her life seemed to be spiraling downward. One day after her surgery; however, her husband found some of her old beads in the garage and brought them in for her to look at. She then perked up and began to make necklaces. She made her
first 200 necklaces and decided to visit one of our local Nursing Homes and gave each resident in the nursing home a necklace. Then she made another 200 necklaces and went to another nursing home and gave each resident there a necklace.
Furr’s husband Howard has a shipment of beads sent to their house almost every month and she makes more and more necklaces to take to Santa Rosa and Pensacola area nursing homes. Nancy Gibson, the Activities Director at UniHealth Post Acute Care of Santa Rosa, said that Furr was a “special lady.” She has brought joy and love to so many nursing home residents and we hope that she will continue to make necklaces until she is 100. Her family is very proud of her.

The Town of Jay held its annual Christmas Parade on Nov. 26 at 10 a.m. in downtown Jay.
The parade began with screaming sirens from sheriff ’s cars, lifeguard ambulance, fire and rescue Station 27, along with fire trucks from Berrydale and Allentown.
The Jay High School Band played and marched proudly while playing Christmas music, while the Jay High School Cheerleaders danced and shook their pompoms.
The Santa Rosa and Escambia Twirlers, of all ages, were throwing, catching and twirling their batons.
All the winners of the different levels of the Miss Jay Pageant and some of their court, were riding in the parade in all of their beauty.
The floats were wonderful. Most represented area churches as well as some local businesses.
The Shriners were there in large numbers. They were driving antique cars, little race cars and decorated golf carts. They were throwing candy, stuffed animals and Moon Pies. A clown was going to the children and giving them candy and gifts.
Santa Claus was riding on his red antique fire truck, throwing candy to all his children along the route. Santa’s red helicopter was grounded because of mechanical difficulties.
Winners of the float contest received cash prizes. Cornerstone Church took first place; Mt. Carmel United Methodist Church won second; and Jay Hospital received third place.
The Town of Jay gave the high school band an award for participating in the Town of Jay Christmas Parade.
It was a good time for everyone. A good beginning for the Christmas season.
The Milton Rotary Club recently completed its annual dictionary project. The Rotary Club was able to present 400 dictionaries to 3rd graders at 4 local elementary schools. The Rotary Club is very supportive of the education system in Santa Rosa County and the dictionary project is just one of several educational support projects the club takes part in each year. The Rotary Club of Milton meets each Tuesday at Red Barn Bar B Que at noon on Highway 90 in Milton.

Legalized corruption It has recently come to the
attention of the American public that their congressmen have pulled a fast one on them by excluding themselves from insider trading laws.
There is one recent bill to stop this odorous exemption from the law, but until the recent “60 Minutes” piece, it had only one other Congressman co-sponsoring
it, and that co-sponsor was not Jeff Miller.
The idea that members of Congress can make money doing something that you or I would go to jail for is outrageous. Congressional supporters of the exemption say they are covers by ethics rules that would prevent insider trading.
Tell that to those who have gone to prison. Wouldn’t it be nice if they had an “ethics rule” that did not
include prison.Don’t kid yourself. Congress is
taking advantage of their position.This matter goes to the heart
of how Congress does business, and the only remedy is to vote out those who think they can live by a separate law than the rest of us.
The rule of law is for everybody. We are not a land of truth and
justice for some.Pete Blome

Mat, smile, you live with cameras
everywhereI can see where you
would hate to have cameras in downtown Milton, Mat.
They might catch you doing something you shouldn’t.
Cameras, in and of themselves, are not the crime. What is criminal is the fact that we as a society feel we should have them.
Something possesses some individuals and they have this innate nature to do something illegal. They feel they should “borrow” something that isn’t there’s or hurt someone or something, but we shouldn’t be shocked at the idea of cameras. They’ve been around a long time.
I bet you didn’t know there were cameras in Milton beyond the five intersection cameras.
In fact, there is a camera pointed at the Milton skate park. So why not have a camera at skate park II, aka The Milton Riverwalk?
Of course, they don’t skate at the Milton Riverwalk, and all that discolored waxy concrete just got that way by accident.
While you are feeling violated by the camera invading your privacy, many others feel violated because the cameras have to catch society’s misfits tearing up what tax dollars have built.
I see Milton using today’s technology to protect itself any way it can.
It is more than a little bit funny that what you, and many others, are objecting to is used when you go to Walmart to park your car or go shopping at a local grocery store.
Heck, you cannot go pay for a tank of gas or get a quick bag of chips or soda without being on some camera somewhere.
Despite all this, you are crying about Milton.
Mat, it’s time you and others like you grow up.
Despite your cries of disbelief and disapproval, the only reason the city is considering this is because of the damages or instances of vandalism that have occurred.
And if you weren’t crying about the cameras, you would cry even more if the city employed people to keep an eye on things.
I am sorry to say this, Mat, but if you don’t want to be on any camera, stay home.
Even then, your home would be “on camera” — peered at by U.S. governmental spy satellites.
The only difference between the city of Milton and most other governmental agencies is the fact City Manager Brian Watkins was kind of enough to tell you what the city had planned.
Mat, smile, you live with cameras everywhere
If you don’t believe me, maybe you need to drive to one of our state lines with Alabama to see the signs talking about the enforcement of our speed limits by cameras in airplanes and helicopters.
And since you are so opposed to being on video, then you can no longer visit NAS Whiting Field.
To me, your argument against cameras falls on deaf ears.
In many cases, cameras are here to stay and, before you know it, you or someone in your family will be featured on one of those Walmart-people-page things on the Internet.
Just another eye in the sky
Bill, it’s bad enough having to worry about someone watching you when you walk into a store, hoping they didn’t catch that quick nose pick you executed before departing. But this is much more serious.
You’re in public, and now you have to worry about the Milton Police Department flipping a switch and watching you 24/7 as you walk through the downtown area.
They already have eyes on us at three intersections. Now they are slowly taking over the entire city with cameras.
I was shocked to learn that Milton police had access to clips and a live-camera feed of downtown. But now the city wants to keep these cameras up year round.
I’d like the city to look into just how much vandalism occurs downtown before erecting more video cameras to further invade people’s privacy.
As reporters, I know we often invade people’s privacy with our cameras when we go to public events or public places, but it’s our job.
The police are claiming this will make their job easier. But the eye in the sky isn’t the right choice.
Now I’m not betting they will flip the cameras on and laugh at people’s stupidity, but that’s my point Bill. When we are out in public, we shouldn’t be worried about people watching us.
We should be able to be ourselves. If we slip and fall or run into something, it might make a good laugh for the police or the city, but it’s already embarrassing enough that it’s out in public.
The police need to provide evidence that there is enough vandalism happening in the downtown area to warrant the year-round presence of these cameras.
What’s next?Why don’t we allow
officials to tell us where to drive and how to do that? Oh wait, Avalon Blvd. does that for us already.
First came the mess on Avalon, then came red-light cameras, and now this. Maybe people aren’t coming to Scratch Ankle and First Fridays for a reason.
Maybe it’s because they have to leap so many hurdles and risk a red-light ticket just to visit downtown.
It’s one thing in Gulf Breeze, but Milton already struggles with tourism.
Why waste money keeping people away from our city, which is full of history and heritage? If no one comes to watch the Imogene open its doors up for the first time since the fire in 2009, I’m going to start to worry.
People are afraid of change, but more importantly, they’re afraid of what will happen when you put cameras in their face 24/7.
It’s not the city’s job to do that.
The city needs to focus on more important things.
Benefiting from a hint in an article titled “Is Harry Potter Making You Poorer?”, written by my colleague Dr. John Goodman, president of the Dallas-based National Center for Policy Analysis, I’ve come up with an explanation and a way to end income inequality in America — possibly around the world. Joanne Rowling was a welfare mother in Edinburgh, Scotland. All that has changed. As the writer of the “Harry Potter” novels, and having a net worth of $1 billion, she is the world’s wealthiest author. More importantly, she’s one of those dastardly 1-percenters condemned by the Occupy Wall Streeters and other leftists.
How did Rowling become so wealthy and unequal to the rest of us? The entire blame for this social injustice lies at the feet of the world’s children and their enabling parents. Rowling’s wealth is a direct result of more than 500 million “Harry Potter” book sales and movie receipts grossing more than $5 billion. In other words, the millions of 99-percenters who individually plunk down $8 or $9 to attend a “Harry Potter” movie, $15 to buy a “Harry Potter” novel or $30 to buy a “Harry Potter” Blu-ray Disc are directly responsible for contributing to income inequality and wealth concentration that economist and Nobel laureate Paul Krugman says “is incompatible with real democracy.” In other words, Rowling is not responsible for income inequality; it’s the people who purchase her works.
We just can’t blame the children for the unfairness of income inequality. Look at how Walmart stores generated wealth for the Walton family of Christy ($25 billion), Jim ($21 billion), Alice ($21 billion) and Robson ($21 billion). The Walton family’s wealth is not a result of ill-gotten gains, but the result of Wal-Mart’s revenue, $422 billion in 2010. The blame for this unjust concentration of wealth rests with those hundreds of millions of shoppers worldwide who voluntarily enter Walmart premises and leave dollars, pounds and pesos.
Basketball great LeBron James plays forward for the Miami Heat and earns $43 million for doing so. That puts him with those 1-percenters denounced by Wall Street occupiers. But who
made LeBron a 1-percenter? It’s those children again, enabled by their fathers or some other significant male. Instead of children doing their homework and their fathers helping their
wives with housework, they get into their cars, drive to a downtown arena and voluntarily plunk down $100 for tickets. The millions of people who watch LeBron play are the direct cause of LeBron’s earning $43 million and are thereby responsible for “undermining the foundations of our democracy.”
Krugman laments in his Nov. 3 New York Times column “Oligarchy, American Style,” “We have a society in which money is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few people, and in which that concentration of income and wealth threatens to make us a democracy in name only.” I’d ask Krugman this question: Who’s putting all the money in the hands of the few, and what do you think ought to be done to stop millions, perhaps billions, of people from using their money in ways that lead to high income and wealth concentration? In other words, I’d like Krugman to tell us what should be done to stop the millions of children who make Joanne Rowling rich, the millions who fork over their money to the benefit of LeBron James, and the hundreds of millions of people who shop at Walmart.
I’d like to end this discussion with a bit of a personal note. The readers of this column know that I never make charges of racism. Rowling is an author, and so am I. In my opinion, my recently published book “Race and Economics: How Much Can Be Blamed on Discrimination?” is far more important to society than any “Harry Potter” novel. I’d like to know what it is about me that explains why millions upon millions have not purchased my book and made me a billionaire author. Maybe Krugman and the Wall Street occupiers have the answer.

Currently, Lifeguard av-erages 1,700 runs a month, compared to the 900 a month they had projected when they first took over as the ambulance services provider in Santa Rosa County.
While headlines of a new company is what many in the community looks for in print, the foundation of any community is based on the continued growth of those who are already estab-lished.
“TEAM Santa Rosa plac-es emphasis on supporting
existing industries,” said Cindy Anderson, Executive Director of TEAM Santa Rosa Economic Develop-ment Council. “The head-quarters of Lifeguard is one of Santa Rosa County’s most prized industries.
“Lifeguard’s latest ex-pansion and anticipated creation of additional high wage jobs in Santa Rosa is a testament to the vital importance of continued focus on growing our own. More than 80 percent of all job growth in the country comes from existing indus-try,” Anderson said.
Lifeguard Ambulance Service is more of a Santa Rosa County company than
many understand. John Roach, the president of Lifeguard, is a native Santa Rosan and the son of the county’s first emergency management services di-rector, Tom Roach.
News of today’s an-nouncement was welcomed by Santa Rosa County Chamber of Commerce Chairman Dave Cobb.
“Today’s event is a prime example of TEAM’s part-nership with existing busi-nesses in the community,” Cobb said. “This is why we have seen over 2,500 new jobs in the last six years in Santa Rosa County when it comes to existing and new businesses.”
Anderson at home when they learned about the build-ing and was here to meet with TEAM and other repre-sentatives the next week.”
Dave Hoxeng, chairman of TEAM Santa Rosa, said representatives from Clear-wire were including in the meetings where both com-panies discussed the train-ing and knowledge of the workforce in the area neces-sary to fill the jobs.
Commissioners are ex-pected to discuss and vote on Super QTI (Qualified Target Industry) funding as part of an incentive package for Project Vortex.
The Clearwire building, which is owned by Terhaar and Cronley, still remains the subject of a $5 million lawsuit brought forth by the Pensacola owners of the building, who are also mem-bers of TEAM Santa Rosa’s board.
It is unknown how the lawsuit brought by Terhaar and Cronley will be effected if Project Vortex selects the Santa Rosa County Indus-trial Park site.
Terhaar and Cronley filed their lawsuit in Sep-tember.

not search Cole’s county office or computer.
Cole told a reporter from the Santa Rosa Press Gazette on Wednesday af-ternoon that the FBI and IRS had left his business about 4 p.m. after going through his computers and records. He said it was hard for him to determine what they were after.
“Their questions when they spoke to me were so general it was hard to filter anything out,” he said.
Cole said one thing he was certain of was his in-nocence.
“I know I am not guilty of anything wrong. No vote
was bought and I did not better myself because of a vote,” he said. “I am com-fortable in my votes of the past on issues and no one twisted my arm. Every-thing I have done is on the record and I feel good to go.”
Cole attended the Coun-ty Commission’s meeting at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
FBI spokesman Jeff Westcott said the agency could not comment on what it was looking for at Cole’s home and business. He and agents at Cole’s home directed questions to Len Register, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Of-
fice in Pensacola.“Local rules of federal
court preclude us from making any public com-ment on the nature of the official business being con-ducted by the FBI and IRS today unless and until that activity becomes a matter of public record,” Register said.
In August, the FBI con-fiscated the county com-puter used by former Com-missioner Gordon Goodin.
It also requested sever-al records and documents held by TEAM Santa Rosa, an agency that contracts with the county to promote economic development.

“I ran to the back of the house and heard him com-ing out the back and called his name so he could walk to me through the smoke.”
Echols was not injured in the blast or fire, but it was not easy for him to get out of his home.
“I couldn’t see,” Echols said. “The fire started at the front of the house and moved its way back.
“I had to go through the two back bedrooms, living room and then the guest house to get out. The smoke was so think, I couldn’t see my friend’s face. All I could do was walk to his voice as I tried to get out of the house.”
Echols’ house was a total loss and the American Red Cross is assisting the displaced family of three. The cause of the fire is currently unknown and the state fire marshal is inves-tigating.
This marks the second fire this month during the “Keep Your Holidays Bright” fire safe-ty campaign.
In the first year, nine candles were extinguished on the safety tree, three in the second year, six in the 2009 campaign and four in 2010, all signifiying fires in the area.

Milton and Gulf Breeze domi-nated Tuesday’s dual in the Pan-thers’ Den and it was the Dolphins who won the last two matches to get the edge 42-39.
Gulf Breeze and Milton both en-tered the final matches tied at 2-0, while South Walton and Pace faced off at 0-2.
One half of the gym was chant-ing for their teams, while Pace slowly pulled away to finish third overall at 1-2 for the evening.
Despite the loss, Milton wres-tling coach Forrest Ward was very happy with his squads effort.
“We have a good bunch of kids who have really stepped up and done well as we have switched
staffs,” Ward said. “We are getting use to one another and I feel we just ran out of gas a little at the end when it came to Gulf Breeze.
“Gulf Breeze is a great squad and has a lot of quality wrestlers, but I feel like with some better conditioning on our part we will do a better job of holding our own against them.”
Milton had two wrestlers finish the duals with perfect 3-0 records.
Tim Manning went undefeated at 160 pounds, while Taylor Flock-en was perfect at 220.
Attempts to contact Pace head coach Reggie Allen after the match were unsuccessful.

Just days after netting a huge crowd for the catch and release of the team logo, Pensacola’s Double-A baseball team, the Blue Wahoos, launch their of-ficial team website, www.BlueWahoos. The site fea-tures pictures of the Blue Wahoo’s waterfront home stadium under construc-tion, news releases from the team, as well as the online store for team mer-chandise, called The Bait & Tackle Store.
The look of the new team website is consistent with the brand and logo unveiled at last Friday’s Gallery Night, with the Blue Wahoo diving after breaking off a fishing line. It features information about the team, ticket sales, and links to the team’s Face-book fan page.
Jonathan Griffith, Execu-tive Vice-President of the team, said the new website
would be an extension of the great fan experience the Blue Wahoos are working to provide to the community. “Our goal is to make sure that any time our fans and supporters come in contact with the Blue Wahoos or-ganization, that it’s a great experience,” said Griffith. “The new website is a great opportunity to do that. Fans can go online to check the game schedule, get updates on the team, buy their favor-ite T-shirts, hats, and other souvenirs, and buy tickets for the game or the whole season.”
Griffith said that eventu-ally, player profiles, game updates and box scores, and videos and pictures from games will be available on-line.
The site was produced by a web design firm that services the Minor League Baseball teams across the country, with specific con-sideration to the branding, marketing, and information
required by teams like the Blue Wahoos that are part of Major League Baseball franchises.
Griffith said the new web-site promised to expand the reach of the Blue Wahoos organization as well as the Pensacola area as whole.
“As an affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds, we have a much broader reach than just this local area, in terms of fans and interest. This website is going to be a great opportunity for the team, and the community, to really showcase the Blue Wahoos
and the
Pensacola area,” said
Griffith. “When peo-ple go to our website
— whether they’re Cincin-nati Reds fans looking for the next great Major League player, or from the Chat-tanooga Lookouts scouting out their next week’s compe-tition, they’re going to look at a big panorama picture of the stadium with Pensacola Bay in the background, or see pictures of our logo un-veiling on Gallery Night in historic downtown Pensaco-la, and it’s going to be hard for anyone to not think this is a great place for baseball and a great place to come and visit.”

Many remember Charlie Brown and his quest for the perfect Christmas tree, but finding the perfect Christmas tree this holiday season could be a lot easier than you may have thought.
Some tree sellers say this year’s crop of trees from North Carolina are much bigger — and less expensive.
“This year’s trees are huge,” said Dennis Hibbs, who is managing the Christmas tree lot in front of Big Lots on Highway 90 in the Parkmore Plaza. “The trees are much bigger, and we are cutting them to size.
“If you are going to get a live tree, this would be the ideal year since you will get more tree for your money.”
The most interesting part is what people look for in a tree.
There is a whole host of adjectives people look for in a tree: tall, short, skinny, fat, bushy, piney, and the list can go on and on.
“I wanted a big and fat tree,” said Grace Miller, who was looking for a tree in Milton on Wednesday. “For me, this tree was love at first sight.”
Some people even have their own Christmas tree
recipe to help maintain that special fresh and green tree throughout the holidays.
WXBM Radio Personalities Marty and Lindsey have their own special recipe:
2 quarters of water 1 cup of corn syrup 2 tablespoons of bleach You are to add daily or
as needed to help keep your Christmas tree fresh for the holidays.
Live Christmas Tree Care Tips
Information from www.about.com.
Refresh the tree by making a straight cut, taking one inch off the butt and immediately place in water. This will improve water uptake.
Place the tree in a stand that can hold at least 1 gallon of water. You should expect the tree to take up additional water. Water the new tree until water uptake stops.
Always keep the base of a tree in water. If the base dries out, resin will form over the cut end, and the tree will not be able to absorb water and will dry out quickly. You don’t need anything other than regular tap water — drying out deters future water
uptake and will need a new cut. Commercially prepared mixes like aspirin, sugar and other additives introduce into the water are not necessary. Research has shown that plain water will keep a tree fresh.
Check for worn Christmas tree light electrical cords and always unplug at night. Use UL approved electrical decorations and cords. Using miniature lights produce less heat and reduce the drying effect on the tree or any chance of fire.
Take down the tree before it dries out. Many fresh cut trees if properly cared for (using the first five steps) should last at least five weeks before drying out. Some species keep their moisture longer that others.
Cutting a “refresh cookie,” a thin disc on the bottom of the trunk, off the tree base is important only when trees have been cut for more than 4 hours.
For easier watering, buy a funnel and a 3- to 4-foot tube. Slip the tube over the funnel outlet, extend tubing down into the tree stand and water without bending over or disturbing the tree skirt. Hide this system in an out-of-the-way part of the tree.
Dennis Hibbs said the Christmas trees being delivered from the area are much larger than trees delivered last year, so customers are getting more tree for the money. Another advantage is they can be cut to size for the customer.
