Bagdad Post Office


re-opening uncertain


By JOSHUA WILKS
jwilks@srpressgazette.com
There is no re-opening
scheduled for the Bagdad Post
Office since a car crashed into
the building on December 3rd.
Limited Postal Service
retail sales are being conduct-
ing in a mobile unit in the
parking lot while post office
box holders continue to
receive mail and packages.
"There is no timeframe to
re-open," said Bill Tyler,
spokesperson for the U.S.
Postal Service. "Several con-
tractors have assessed the
building and provided esti-
mates, but a contractor has not
been hired."
The building is privately
owned and is leased by the
U.S. Postal Service. The own-
ers of the building are respon-
sible for repairs, Tyler said.
"There are broken trusses
and bent conduit," he said.
"There aren't any definite
plans yet to get back in the
building."
According to accident
reports, the crash occurred
when the driver attempted to
park and missed the brake


pedal, hitting the gas instead.
The car crashed into the
front of the building, injuring
a customer in the front lobby
and causing an estimated
$50,000 in damages, the
Florida Highway Patrol
reported in December. The car
knocked down' the glass-
framed section of the front
lobby and office where cus-
tomers were standing.
"Until the building re-
opens we will continue to do
what we've been doing with
the portable unit," Tyler said.
The mobile unit can pro-
vide most services including
mail outs and postage sales,
but can not accept large pack-
ages, sell money orders, nor
accept credit or debit cards.
The owners of the build-
ing were not available for
comment on whether or not
there are plans to install safe-
ty rails or high impact bol-
lards in front of the building
as a safeguard in the event of
a crash.
Post office hours continue
to be 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Mondays through Fridays and
9a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturdays.

of 2007, The ZOO is working
on Phase II -to raise another
$2-million bythe end of 2008.
"Fundraising is a big thing
for us right now," said
Danyelle Lantz, The ZOO's
new executive director. "We
are making a strong grass
roots effort to appeal to those
who enjoy coming to The
ZOO.
"We have four major
events we are looking at
doing, while the board mem-
bers are looking to work on a
separate fundraising drive.
In reaching their goal of
$1-million dollars late
December, cash contributions
accounted for nearly $550,000
of that total along with in-kind
contributions, debt forgive-
ness, cash pledges and in-kind
pledges for this year.
Lantz pointed out the cash
contributions have been used
to supplement operating short-

Illegal dumping, litter, and spilled garbage is an unfortunately common site throughout parts of Santa Rosa County, especially in rural

three officers strictly focused on
investigating cases pertaining to
the illegal.dumping of trash and

Department of Transportation.
Prior to Maich of 2006 trash
and litter fell under the guise of
Code Enforcement, who with an


equally sized staff, partnered
with the Sheriff's Office to help
enforce the County's littering
ordinance.
In most instances the
deputies respond to complaints
from area residents about illegal
dumping. "The problem-is peo-
ple don't want to pay for garbage
service," Ault says. As a result,

Visitor Center

Detectors ready for service
Members of the Pace Volunteer Fire Department got a late Christmas present from Lowe's in
Pea Ridge last week in the form of 204 smoke detectors. Pictured above, store manager Brian
Watkins (far left) helps load up one of several boxes the home improvement super store donat-
ed at a cost of over $2,000. The smoke detectors will be distributed at no charge to the pub-
lic as needed. Chief Donny Watkins says his department generally provides free detectors as
a public service to homes without one, the elderly, or under privileged homes that otherwise
might not be able to afford one.

Santa Rosa County has a
new front door that opens wide
today.with the official opening
of the county's new visitor
information center located in
Navarre Park on U.S. 98 at the
foot of the Navarre Beach
bridge.
The $1.2 million facility
overlooks Santa Rosa Sound
and Navarre Beach.
The 4,600-square-foot cen-
ter will provide tourists and
locals information on Santa
Rosa's attractions from the
beach and forest to history and
events. It will also provide
meeting rooms, offices and pub-
lic restrooms.
"It's absolutely stunning,"
said Commissioner John
Broxson. "This is such a great
thing for Santa Rosa County."
For more than a decade the
visitor center was housed in a
small modular building that
served as a bank prior to being
donated to the Navarre Area
Chamber of Commerce in the
early 1990s. Although there
were already plans to replace
the facility, Hurricane Ivan

Yes, this Tony. I'll tell
you... that fee were paying
for the Pace water system.
We've been paying a dollar
since September for fire
hydrant repairs and mainte-
nance. I called them today,
they haven't hired anyone,
they said they're going to
hire people next week and
repair hydrants next week.
We paid for four
months and did not get a
service. I think the people
under the Pace Water
System ought to be in an
uproar about that-being
charged something and not
getting the service. And I
heard the fire company
checked them out the first
time. I talked to the water
company and they said
they service 13,000 resi-
dents. That's all we have
in the Pace Water System?
I thought we had more than
that.

Wednesday, 9:37 p.m.
You can snicker at East
Milton for the courthouse
but think about these num-
bers: 33,500 cars a day at
Pea Ridge on Hwy 90, but
7,100-a day in East Milton
for easy driving. 1.8 mil-
lion for land in Pea Ridge,
zero in East Milton.
Millions in lest taxes by
taking good commercial
land in Pea Ridge. 90% of
the daily clients come from
the jail in East Milton.
That means lower trans-
portation and manpower
costs paid by taxes. As a
tax payer East Milton adds
up for me. This is Gary.
Thank you.

Wednesday, 2:52 p.m.
Yeah, I'm calling about
the Santa Rosa Dog Pound.
I had to take a pregnant cat
someone left at my house
there. I was informed at
the dog pound that they
would hold her for five
days and then put her
down. I didn't know Santa
Rosa put pregnant animals
down. I thought they would
have enough compassion
for the cat to wait until she
had the litter.

APEX receives

an AT&T grant
APEX, the training division
of Children's Services Center and
local provider of quality child-
care training, has received the
2007 AT&T Excelerator grant.
AT&T Excelerator is a competi-
tive grant program for projects
that use technology to help non-
profit orgizhtions build stronger
communities~
This grant will enable APEX
to offer child care providers the
opportunity for hands-on, real-
world learning experiences using
technology as the catalyst for per-
sonal and professional develop-
ment.
On-line learning has become
a convenient and economical way
to learn, yet there are many peo-
ple in our community who are
unsure of how to use technology
as a way to become trained or
develop their skills.
APEX's goal is to close the
gap between those childcare
workers in our community who
are comfortable with using com-
puters and the Internet as a means
of achieving their personal and
professional development, and
those who are not.
APEX will use their grant
money to create a technology
classroom for local child care
providers to use for on-line class-
es offered by APEX and by the
Department of Children and
Families, and also to provide
hands-on training for basic com-
puter applications.

phases," said Lantz. "The
first thing we need to take
care of is the debt to the bank,
which is interest baring.
"We should be able to
eliminate that with the com-
pletion of Phase II; then we
will need to work on the cred-
it sale from the group that
owned The ZOO for over 20
years."
The 50 acres and animal
habitats suffered severe dam-
ages from Hurricane Ivan and
have never really been able to
recover.
On top of that they lost
their accreditation with the
American Zoological
Association.
"The ZOO got in a rough
spot because of Ivan," said
Lantz. "It didn't help any by
loosing the accreditation with
the AZA."
Another problem The
ZOO has had to contend with
is the loss of animals, most
notably a giraffe and Niles
the baby Hippo.
"Our animal care staff is
doing a great job based on my
review and feedback I have
gotten from zoological teams
that have visited the zoo,"
said Lantz. "The issue most
do not realize is that The
ZOO has typically served as a
rescue location and those ani-
mals are not usually in the
best of health.
"And our hippos for
example have bread many
times successfully, but we
need the resources to create a
third bedroom so we can
rotate the male hippo to pre-
vent a situation as to what
happened to Niles."
The male hippo in their
habitat attacked Niles, which
is part of the nature preserve
that can be viewed via the
train ride at The ZOO.
Lantz pointed out until
this past year The ZOO hasn't
really done any fundraising,
but they are looking to with
many events in 2008.

SALUTES,


DEWITT NOBLES

Someone who has made a difference

For 33 years Mrs. DeWitt Nobles has been
serving the citizens of Milton as City Clerk.
Following her first election she began her
political career in Milton's city government
in 1974 and has served continuously since.
She loves her job, the citizens love her, and
that love affair is continuing today.

DeWitt fondly remembers serving with four
city managers during her terms of office and
has seen a great deal of history transpire
from year to year. She credits her success to
hard work, fair play, integrity and a personal
desire to serve. (Ofcourse she would never
mention her own gentle demeanor, disarming
personality and gracious regard for others'
Mrs. DeWitt Nobles welfare that have made her legendary.)

As City Clerk, DeWitt is what you might say the city treasurer as well. She handles
all the utility billing and collection, collects and disperses money (which includes
paying all bills and payroll), and takes the minutes and preserves the records of
both the Milton City Council and the city's Civil Service Board.

Mother of four daughters, she has 10 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren and
attends church at Ferris Hill Baptist.

Even at this stage, however; DeWitt has no intention of slowing down. She sees
public service as a passion and feels that duty still beckons beyond tomorrow. And
for her perseverance and accomplishments, we salute her as an individual who
really cares...and it shows!

new subdivision.
Provide outdoor enter-
tainment opportunities for the
community.
3.) Transportation:
Create a transportation
plan that includes short term,
low cost improvements as well
as long term, high cost
improvements.
Provide non-motorized
mobility options to improve
community linkages and pro-
mote physical health.
Moving Forward
The first item from the plan
the county is moving forward
on is amending the Future Land
Use Map to identify appropri-
ate areas for higher density res-
idential development and addi-
tional commercial and/or
industrial land necessary to
accommodate the projected
population and to achieve a mix
of land uses typical of a grow-
ing suburban area.
Santa Rosa County has
established a project work-
group that -includes county
staff, residents, and develop-
ment professionals to develop
clear locational criteria for each
Future Land Use Map category.
The workgroup began meeting
in November.
The next step will include
presenting the locational crite-
ria to the Local Planning Board
and Board of County
Commissioners for approval
after which there will be a draft
Future Land Use Map for the
Pace Area prepared that distrib-
utes land uses based upon loca-
tional criteria.
Public Input

destroyed the old building in
September 2004.
"This [center] shows we're
not just patching up the past, but
building for the future,"
Broxson said. "What a great
achievement this is."
The facility will not only
serve as a visitor information
center, but will also provide a
location for residents and their
guests to find information on
what to do locally, said Kate
Wilkes, executive director for
the county's Tourist
Development Council.
"People have family and
friends who visit the area and
they're always looking for
something to do," Wilkes said.
"It happens a lot and that service
is a big part of this building."
Along with visual displays
and promotional materials
including brochures, an interac-
tive computer station will be
installed by early spring to help
visitors learn more about the
county's attractions and other
available resources.
The new center will house a
Santa Rosa County Tourist
Development Council office and
the Navarre Beach Area
Chamber of Commerce.
SAlmost 200 people attended
the center's December ribbon
cutting ceremony held in the rear
side of the building overlooking,
Navarre Sound.
"This building shows that
we get what we want instead of
settling for what we get,"
Commissioner Gordon Goodin
said. "This is a shining example
of what we'll start seeing."


chance to provide input about
the criteria through public
meetings and the Internet,
Faulkenberry said. Based upon
the input provided, a revised
draft Future Land Use Map will
be developed. The final
Future Land Use Map will then
be presented again to the Local
Planning Board and the Board
of County Commissioners for
adoption.
The first in a series of
public meetings was held Oct.
30, 2006, where more than
100 participants completed
activities to help identify
issues relative to the area.
Those activities included
identifying community
strengths, weaknesses, oppor-
tunities, and threats; a group
map exercise where partici-
pants identified their vision
for the future of Pace; and a
small group discussion where
participants listed what they
like and dislike about the
community, and what their
vision is for the area's future.
A Land Development
Regulation Opinion Survey
was also conducted in
December. Participants who
could not attend the meetings
were allowed to email their
.ideas and concerns to the
planning department.
A workgroup of volun-
teers met seven times between
January and March with plan-
ning officials to create the
draft plan.
The Planning and Zoning
Department held a second
meeting in November with a
workgroup of volunteers to
focus on the plan's implemen-
tation.

identify who it belongs to and
where it came from.
"Seven out of ten times,"
says Ault, "we find out who it is.
"And 99% of the time they can't
deny it," concurs Barnes.
Criminal citations are issued
and a fine is set by a judge. The
officers also have the option of
arresting the individual or issu-
ing a warrant. Since the unit was
created in 2006, they have made
115 arrests.
Litterers are harder to prose-
cute, the deputies say, because
most individuals who throw
something form their car wait
until no one is around to do it.
The Sheriff has even asked
his officers in the unit to trail
garbage trucks in unmarked cars,
says Ault, because the drivers
often fail to lock the blades
which keep the trash from blow-
ing out on the highway at 55
miles per hour.
"The more trash they pick
up, the more money they get,"
says Ault, who contends locking
and unlocking the blades takes
too much time.
"People have got to take
pride in their community," says
Bares simply. A solution he
agrees is easier said than done.

'Small Town' Feel
"The community's desire is
to maintain a small town feel,"
Faulkenberry said. "This plan
will help us maintain that feel."
Almost all vacant property
in the Pace area is zoned agri-
cultural, and the changes to the
future land use map will identi-
fy how the community wants to
see that vacant land developed
in the next 20 years,
Faulkenberry said.
The draft plan was present-
ed to the Pace community on
April 30, and the final plan was
presented on May 30. The
Board of County
Commissioners conceptually
adopted the Pace Area Plan on
June 28.
"It's good that Santa Rosa
County is thinking ahead for
what will happen," said
Stefanie Boardman, a resident
of Pace for 14 years. "With the
development of so many large
retailers it seems we're losing
that small town feel and could
be lost if it's not managed."
Boardman did not attend
the public workshops, but she
said that goals such as requiring
sidewalks and parks in neigh-
borhoods are good ideas. She
said that having infrastructure
development requirements that
resemble what is along Pace
Patriot Boulevard with side-
walks and a neighborhood park
would help maintain that small
town feel a reason why so
many people move to the Pace
area.

organization those in the
Sheriff's office call the most sig-
nificant resource the county has
for cleaning up.
Recently Tonkin initiated
the Adopt-a-spot program in
Santa Rosa County. Modeled
after other long-standing .pro-,
grams aimed to clean up high-
ways, Adopt-a-spot focuses
more on locations within the
community.
Businesses, individuals, and
churches are encouraged to
adopt and maintain a specific
county road, park, recycling cen-
ter, or other public place at least
up to six times a year. At the
present time there are approxi-
mately 40 sites under the stew-
ardship of local groups.
Mike Palmer, General
Manager of Milton Dodge,
recently signed up his business
for the Adopt-a-spot program,
picking up litter along both sides
of Glover Lane from Highway
90 to Hamilton Bridge Road.
Twelve employees, as well
as some University of West
Florida students participated in
the company's first clean up just
over a week ago. In an hour and
a half volunteers filled up 20
garbage bags, all of which were
picked up by the County at no
charge.
Unfortunately, as Palmer
reports, only a few short days
after the initial clean up he began
to notice fast food bags and other
new litter along the sides of the
road. "It's aggravating," he says.
East Milton resident Jan
Dempsey understands the nature
of littering all too well, having
picked up trash on a portion of
Hickory Hammock Road for the
better part of 20 years.
Dempsey regularly slips on
a pair of work gloves, grabs a
black garbage bag, and walks a
quarter of a mile down the road
from her house in both directions
picking up the refuse of someone
else's pit stop or fast food lunch.
"Some people are just so
lazy, they think someone is
always going to pick up after
them," says Dempsey.
She suggests several solu-
tions including mandatory
garbage service for the county,
increase in enforcement person-
nel, and more involvement from
local agencies.
"What's sad," said Dempsy,
"is people are always talking
about getting others to move
here, and strengthening tourism,
but when people travel through
to Navarre-what do they see
along the way? Why would a
person want to come into an area
that is not clean?"

Good-bye and Hello

We say a sad Goody-be to PrisciUa Fox, our retiring. ,
Speech Therapist

Priscilla Fox, Rhodes Speech Therapist, retired on
October 31st. Priscilla Fox reported just before she
left, "I started out here 35 years ago, went back to
school at FSU, worked in Escambia County for 14
years, then returned to Rhodes for these last 5
years. I was itinerant for many of those years so I
was exposed to many schools. I soon came to
understand, there is something very special about
this school. It was evident 35 years ago, and it is
still evident now. Not only do teachers and staff
give of their intellect and skills, they also give of
their hearts and souls. I am grateful to the children
I served. They taught me how to teach what
worked and what didn't. When I made mistakes
they didn't hold it against me. I am grateful for the
teachers and staff here. Always willing to lend a
hand and share a hurried laugh on the way to the
next item of the day. It has been good, very good.
And, to paraphrase songwriter Jimmy Buffet,
"Some of it was magic, and some of it was tragic,
but I had a good life (career) anyway".

We say an excited Hello to the new Speech thera-
pist, Deanna Soiber

Deanna Seiber, Rhodes new Speech Therapist,
joined us in November. She has worked with chil-
dren for over 8 years ranging from birth to eighteen
years of age. Mrs. Seiber says, "The thing I like
best about working at Rhodes is the wonderful
staff, families and children." She says she has a
wonderful husband, Eric, and a cat named "Fifi".
She also loves to read and for relaxing moments,
she plays video games.

We say an excited Hello to the new PE Coach, Paul
Albro

Paul Albro is Rhodes newest Physical Education
Coach who works with Kim Sowers and Allen
Worley to help keep the children at Rhodes physi-
cally fit and active. Some of his past experiences
include working with children in our military com-
munities overseas, working with at-risk youth in
both Southern and Northwest Florida, and most
recently working with ESE (Autism) students at Pea
Ridge Elementary School. Paul says, "The aspect
of my job that I enjoy the most is having the oppor-
tunity to contribute to such a positive learning envi-
ronment at W.H. Rhodes Elementary." In his
leisure time he enjoys hiking, backpacking, and
spending time with his wife Melissa, as well as
their 4 dogs.

Resolutions




to live by

Have you broken your New Year's resolution yet?
Just two days into the New Year and there are some who
have already been foiled by human nature.
Temptation is a terrible thing, especially if you're like most
and vow to put down fattening foods, chocolate, or whatever
your personal temptation is.
Still, there are those who could stand to make a few resolu-
tions, but fail to do so.
The Santa Rosa County Commission and the Santa Rosa
County Board of Education need to resolve to not talk about the
need for any more money for quite some time-things are
tough all over.
If you think you have financial problems, how do you
expect people to pay the taxes with foreclosures occurring at
today's rate?
Another resolution the commissioners need to make is:
when something is cut from the budget...keep it cut.
It never fails, around budget time something is eliminated to
save money and tighten the county's purse strings. A short time
later, there is a 3-2 vote to restore some funding.
If it was that important to the county, why was it cut from
the budget to begin with?
The final resolution for the county should be to put this
courthouse issue to rest.
Yes, this counteracts the resolution regarding the cry for
money, but haven't we spent enough on this quest without any-
thing coming to fruition?
It is time to fish or cut bait.
With all the issues the current courthouse faces with lack of
security, overcrowding, and lack of handicap accessibility, some
decision has'to be reached...and soon.
The state government also needs to resolve to a couple of
items. First, actually fix the insurance issue. The Florida
Legislature and its "everything las a price" attitude has led citi-
zens down a primrose path yet again.
Insurance prices instantly skyrocketed after Hurricane Ivan
and insurers have been dropping people like flies ever since-
even if they haven't had a claim.
Relief, so far, has just a pipe dream.
Secondly, Florida needs to resolve to provide true leader-
ship.
How can we hope to retun to a prosperous state when the
laws it passes make no sense?
If our leaders want to mandate something, then they should
also provide the money necessary to back it up.
Those who have made a career of Tallahassee work have
many so-called good ideas, but no money to make it work.
Speaking of career workers in a capitol, Washington is not
exempt from resolution contempt.
Those in our nation's capitol should resolve to live as we do.
How many people would like to vote themselves a'pay raise
or spend money and not worry about whether that money actu-
ally exists or not?
If our Representatives and Senators had to work for mini-
mum wage, even if for just a month, they might sing a com-
pletely different tune than they do now.
When overdrawn, you simply cannot keep spending.
Finally, our federal government needs to resolve to actually
do something with the issues that affect us daily-like immigra-
tion, taxes, and health care.
That would be a lot better than wasting time on steroids in
baseball.

Above the Law
FM: Bill Kuchko
Milton, Fla.

Dear Editor,

Would someone please be so
kind, to let us know why it is
that people like Hillary and Bill
Clinton are above the law?
Is it because they are (or he
was) an elected official that they
don't have to answer the law.
I get the 'Judicial Watch' and
they are having a tough time get-
ting our government to release
their papers.
Why is it so hard to get what
they need to be released?
I believe it is because we are
corrupt.
This is just my humble opin-
ion, but I do believe it to be so.
In going on 88 years of life I
have seen many changes, so


please tell me if my opinion is
wrong.
What is the matter with the
people?
To elect the ones that are in
office to begin with, but worse,
elect them back in a second
time.
You have to admit we do
have a problem.

Appalled Educator
FM: Leslie Gillespie
Pace, Fla.

Dear Editor,

I was appalled when reading
of Mayor Thompson's letter to
the Santa Rosa County School
Board regarding the block
schedule at Milton High School.
Blaming the 'C' grade at
Milton and lack of growth of the
City of Milton on the block


schedule is ludicrous, particular-
ly when other schools with block
schedules have 'A' ratings.
Mayor Thompson seems to
ignore the fact that Milton High
School has a high rate of lower
income students and is fed by
the only two middle schools in
the country with more than 35%
of students who qualify for free
or reduced lunch.
These students have greater
challenges and often less support
based on available education
research, which leads to lower
academic success.
He hopes Milton High
School will switch to a six-peri-
od day. This will allow students
to earn only six credits per year,
or 24 credits in high school. On
the current schedule, students
earn eight credits per year, or 32
credits during high school.
This allows for more elective


options, not less. The excellent
dual enrollemnt program coodi-
nated with Pensacola Junior
College increases the class
options for students, and the 4x4
schedule gives students time to
take these classes.
Students have a better oppor-
tunity to complete an Associate
of Arts degree through dual
enrollment, giving many of the
lower income students an oppor-
tunity for college they may not
otherwise have.
Finally, Mayor Thompson's
statement that 80 minutes is too
long for one class seems to com-
ment more on his ability to focus
than on the student's ability. The
chance to begin homework in
class allows students to ask
questions and receive help from
the teacher, increasing their
understanding of the subject.

Chumuckla UMC news


This past November, the
Young At Heart Seniors from
Chumuckla United Methodist
Church visited Callaway
Gardens in Pine Mountain,
Georgia for an adventure that
will be remembered a long
time.
The group left in a terri-
ble rain storm, but by the time
they arrived, the skies had
cleared and the rest of the day
was beautiful.
Following a dinner buf-
fet, they all began their jour-
ney into a winter wonderland.
Everywhere, there seem to be
little toy soldiers, little toy
drums a-drummin', geese a-
layin', and fairies every-
where. Christmas lights lit the
night sky surrounding the
YAHS as they enjoyed the
sights and sounds of the gar-
dens.
When the tour ended,
they returned to Santa's
I


Village to explore the world
of Christmas ornaments and
gifts. After shopping, pictures
were taken with Santa's
helpers.
The following morning,
the YAHS returned back
home to Milton all the while
enjoying the fun, laughter,
and fellowship.

Chumuckla seniors were
delighted on Wednesday night
when the Chumuckla United

sang carols and brought joy
and faith into their Christmas.
Zooming all around

Ask the Preacher

...a weekly column answering your ques-
,;j tions with Biblical answers about life.

Dear Pastor Gallups "Do patriotism and Christianity
necessarily go together. Isn't there something wrong with a
true Christian being patriotic to the point of ridiculous?" -
H.Y. Milton
Dear H.Y., Please forgive my suspicion, but I suspect
that you may be hinting at MY patriotic zealousness! I say
this because I am VERY patriotic and sometimes accused of
the very thing that you are speaking of. Regardless, thank
you for the opportunity to set the truth straight on this very
important topic.
Yes, as a matter of fact it is ALWAYS wrong to put your
country or your patriotism ABOVE your relationship or alle-
giance to Jesus Christ. Many Christian martyrs have gone on
to glory refusing to do that very thing. We must "render unto
Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things
that God's".
On the other hand...I am so patriotic, because I am over-
whelmed to be so blessed to live in one of the very few of a
handful of countries on the entire planet that allows me to
worship, serve and preach Jesus Christ without fear of death
or any other kind of retribution.
I am patriotic because we are the ONLY nation founded
on Biblical principles of Law, Morality and Goodwill to
other nations. I am patriotic because we are the ONLY nation
known by the world as a "Christian" nation (imperfect as we
are).
I am patriotic, because my freedom in Jesus was pur-
chased with HIS BLOOD on Calvary's Cross and my free-
dom to express ny love for Jesus for doing this was pur-
chased with the BLOOD OF MEN AND WOMEN, fellow
citizens of this great land, our sons and daughters...for ME!
I am patriotic because at this very hour, while I enjoy my
freedom, young men and women are in harm's way. They are
there so that I may stay free...and free to worship Jesus!
Yes...I am PATRIOTIC!
I would cease to be "patriotic" if this nation and its gov-
ernment ever required me to denounce my faith in Jesus
Christ or anything similar to it. If it ever reached that
point...then, as always, my first and only allegiance is to
Jesus Christ.

Science degree from Florida State University, and a Master of Divinity from The New Orleans Baptist

The Santa Rosa Press Gazette


Wednesday January 2, 2008


The "new" Woodie's Florist and Gifts will continue as the ultimate source for all your floral needs


By OBIE CRAIN
ocrain @ srpressgazette.com

"Share love with our flow-
ers."
That's how Jackie
Crutchfield, new owner of
Woodie's Florist and Gifts
located at 5418 Stewart Street
in Milton, welcomes the
shop's new and existing cus-
tomers who are finding her
refreshing new personality
and style incorporated into
everything that's happening
there!
From the new faces to the
reinforced commitment to
quality products and outstand-
ing customer service, the shop
is showing.a distinct transfor-
mation reflecting its new
owner's management style of
doing business, including
enhanced customer service
and commitment to quality.
And whether it's across
the street, across town, or
across the nation or world,
Woodie's Florist and Gifts can
handle your flower delivery
requests with speed, style, and
distinction.
One of Milton's oldest and
most distinctive flower and
gift shops, Woodie's Florist
and Gifts has been serving the
Milton and Pensacola area for
four decades. "Its expertise as
a full-service florist and gift
shop is well known," Jackie
says, "and it will continue as
we plan to uphold that leg-
endary reputation of provid-
ing the professional knowhow
and resources to make every
one of our customers' special
occasions monuments to
remember!"
With a longevity dating
back to 1966, its growth and
survival over the years reflect
a distinct strength and stabili-
ty that has become its trade-
mark. Located in a convenient
section of town with ample
parking, the shop is both dis-
tinctive and appealing,
chocked full of floral designs
and individualistic gift ideas.


While it's true you can't
judge a book by its cover, you
certainly can judge the quality
of Woodie's Florist and Gifts's
floral presentations by the
beautiful and practical designs
and arrangements on display
in the shop. Everything in the
shop is a vivid reflection of
the creativity and expert
craftsmanship of Designer
Tracy Gellert and emerging
design specialist Monica
Folzman who are the owner's
principal backups and have
noteworthy experience in
designing and arranging.
From the smallest bouquet
to the largest and most elabo-
rate arrangement, the colors
and textures of both the fresh
flowers and silk arrangements
are breathtaking.
But flowers aren't all
you'll find at Woodie's Florist
and Gifts. Other featured
items include porcelain, crys-
tal, gourmet baskets, balloons,
greeting cards for appropriate
occasions, cushions, coffee
mugs, potpourri, and any
number of other collectibles,
including Rick's Wix scented
candles and others.
Jackie has also added a
bath and beauty line for the
ladies that will surely please
anyone on a gift list.
Woodie's Florist and Gifts
caters to all occasions. A flo-
ral business is primarily emo-
tion driven, and for that rea-
son they are prepared to help
you on whatever occasion
your needs raise. Whether it's
funerals, weddings, anniver-
saries, birthdays, holidays, or
just friendly occasions, they
can prepare just what it takes
to fit your event.
Weddings are one of their
specialties, and Jackie says
they become intimately
involved whenever they plan
one. If there's a wedding in
your future, Woodie's Florist
and Gifts should be included
in your itinerary!
And if perhaps you have
an idea and don't know quite


how to develop it, you are
welcome to come by or give
them a call. They will work
with you to develop your own
original concept, and in most
cases you'll come out
smelling like a rose!
As the business has
grown, so has its capability of
upgrading its technology and
other facilities. They use all
the major wire services,
including FTD (Florists'
Transworld Delivery) and
Teleflora, to insure that your
delivery is accomplished
promptly and trustworthily.
"And we offer only the best
quality products that are fit
for the '...quality customers'
that patronize our business,"
Jackie said.
And it's truly a global
business, according to their
recent activity. They sent
some arrangements to the
United Kingdom this holiday
season, which shows the
capability of the outreach they
command.
Jackie takes pride in the
fact that the business is still
local, in spite of its worldwide
potential. As a family busi-
ness it presents the challenge
of an outside career, while
retaining local flavor and
style. She credits her husband,
Wayne, with making the
opportunity available to her,
and she says he is an integral
part of it, although he has his
own career.
Wayne is a sales associate
at Dan McKenzie Motors, and
although he says he takes a
special interest in his wife's
business, there's not much
chance that he will shorten his
own career to become a part
of it. "When a satisfied cus-
tomer leaves Woodie's Florist
and Gifts, he or she can come
own down to McKenzie
Motors and buy a GMC or
Buick or Pontiac or any other
GM certified used vehicle,"
Wayne said. "They'll be satis-
fied with the service I can fur-
nish them there, too!"


Woodie's Florist and Gifts is now under new ownership and management, and customers are
beginning to notice the difference ih the personality and style of its owner, Jackie Crutchfield.
Jackie gives her husband Wayne Crutchfield his due in making the career change available to
her but insists he will help out from time to time, if needed, despite continuing his career as a
sales associate at McKenzie Motors. Here Jackie and her husband share a special moment
together at the shop after the Christmas rush. (Photo by Obie Crain.)


There's one thing you
won't be if you visit Woodie's
Florist and Gifts, and that's a
stranger! Both Jackie and
Wayne are gregarious, outgo-
ing, friendly, and generous
people, and if you haven't met
them (and there's not many
who haven't) you'll feel right
at home with them when you
do.
If you have time, you will
enjoy a visit to the shop. For
your on-site shopping pleas-
ure the shop is open Monday
through Friday from 8:30 a.m.
to 5:30 p.m. and from 8:30
a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays.


If you don't have time on
the spur of the moment to
come in and browse, pick up
the phone and call. The num-
ber is (850) 623-2788 in
Milton and (888) 491-2999
toll free. The numbers are
monitored 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, so that
your inquiry or order will
never be lost in the shuffle.
Prices are affordable, and
they take all the major credit
cards as well as cash. In the
event you wish to be in touch
by Internet, you may reach
the shop at its www.woodies-
florist.com web site. You will
get the same excellent service


no matter what method you
use to be in touch.
At Woodie's Florist and
Gifts their motto is, "Share
love with our flowers." So
when the next occasion arises
for you to share your love, do,
it with flowers from Woodie's,
Florist and Gifts. Valentine's
day in just a few short weeks
away, and you might want to
start planning now to be sure
that your thoughts are proper-
ly and adequately shared!
Once a customer, always a
friend! At Woodie's Florist
and Gifts they take pride in
making you proud!

"For the last two to three
weeks I have been hard at it,"
said Weekley. "But I think I
got a lot more attention from
the media after I missed the
putt at the Honda Classic."
In honoring the Santa
Rosa native the commission-
ers also referred to Weekley as
an ambassador.
"You have been a great
reflection of Santa Rosa
County with the humility and
easy you show on the tour,"
said Commissioner Gordon
Goodin. "You are truly an
ambassador of Santa Rosa
County and I personally can't
think of anyone better."
When Weekley won the
wind delayed Verizon
Heritage very little work was
accomplished as workers in
the county offices were trying
to get a glimpse at a television.
"We hung on every shot
on Monday," said County
Commission Chairman Tom
Stewart, who played golf with
Weekley on the Alabama BBQ
Circuit. "You gave us all a
thrill with that amazing victo-
ry.
"You deserve everything
you get."
Weekley, who gets his ath-
letic talent from his mother
Patsy, took up the game as a
youth and very did quit.
"Boo got his athletic abili-
ty from his mom who is a five
time All-State Softball player
in Alabama,", said Tommy
Weekley, Boo's father. "All he
got from me was the Weekley
curse."
But to (Thomas Brent)
Weekley it is still just a game.
"Family means a lot to
me, that is just the way I was
raised," said Boo Weekly.
"Golf is just a game, but
everything I do is about my
wife and son.
"All I can do is thank the
good Lord I play the game as
good as I do to make a living."
With his first career PGA
Tour victory Weekley has
earned a two-year exemption
and has, earned the right to
play at the Masters.
"Augusta is a dream," said
Weekley. "Just the history of
the course with Jack Nicklaus,
Arnold Palmer, and my
favorite Ben Hogan.
"All of those guys mean
so much to the history of the
game and then today's great
one Tiger as well next year
will be awesome."
Weekley would make
news at the British Open, but
was nothing compared to
earning over $2.6-million.
Story number three is the
five game winning streak Pace
has put together over Milton,
while keeping the Bronze hel-
met now for four years run-
ning.
The fifth win ironically
came in the second round of
the 2007 Class 4A Football
Playoffs, which the Patriots
easily won 27-3
The Battle for the Bronze
helmet was not for the faint of
heart.
Pace for the fourth con-
secutive year won the helmet
17-10, and needed some hero-
ics to secure a leg up on its
District 1-4A title chase.
Pace was up 17-10 with
2:39 left on the clock and
Milton starting at their own 20
with two timeouts.
Anthony Loomis got the
Milton fans on their feet with
a 12 yard runs while Dedrick
Simmons kept the drive going
with a 19 yard run.
Dustin Land called his
own number for a nine-yard
gain and suddenly Milton was
at the Pace 40.
A personal foul against
Pace and an 11-yard pass from
Land to Ryan Ware put the
Panthers on Pace's 19.
With time running out
Milton was forced to pass
after taking their final timeout
with just under 30 seconds on
the clock.
Land dropped back to pass
and three a strike over the


middle, but Pace's Dustin
Retherford stepped in the line
and intercepted the ball to
secure the win.
"This was a great win,"
said Pace Head Coach Mickey
Lindsey.."I thanks the Lord for


this kids and how hard they
played for this win.
"There is a lot of pressure
with this game and the kids
stepped up an showed the
character and I am very proud
of these kids."
For the second year in a
row the Patriots scored on
their last possession to win the
game.
This time it was Riley
Hawkins who capped an 80-
yard drive as he was on the
receiving end of a 20-yard
pass from Aaron Munoz.
"It was a good play select-
ed by our offensive coordina-
tor," said Hawkins. "The line
did a great job blocking and
Aaron scrambled just enough
for us to make the big play
when we needed it."
Story number four was the
MLB June Draft where two
Patriots found that dreams can
come true.
As history was made this
past June as Santa Rosa
County saw two Pace Patriots
get selected on the first day of
the Major League Baseball
entry draft.
Shortstop Drew
Cumberland was taken in the
supplemental first round, bet-
ter known as the sandwich
round, by the San Diego
Padres with the 46th overall
pick.
Cumberland and team-
mate Caleb Gindl started the
waiting game at 1 p.m. local
time.
As Cumberland took his
call at 4:37 p.m. he learned the
Padres had selected him,
Gindl still had another three
plus hour ahead of him before
he was selected by the
Milwaukee Brewers in the
fifth round with the 161st
overall pick.
"I was getting a little tense
watching the picks on the
Internet," said Cumberland,
who became the highest play-
er selected in Pace history. "I
was expecting to go a little bit
higher, but it is all good.. .t
"I remember playing in
the East Coach Showcase for
Padres area scout Bob Fallitie
and I wore a Padres uniform in
that game."
Cumberland was the first
number one selection from the
Emerald Coast since Travis
Fryman was drafted in the first
round back in 1987.


Central Basketball Head Coach Tony McDonald is congratulated by his players after reaching the 600 career win milestone.

He also sets a new stan-
dard for the highest Patriot
selected as the previous mark
was when Thad Busby was
selected in the fourth round by
the Toronto Blue Jays, but
Busby opted for a college
football career at Florida State
University.
Drew becomes the second
Cumberland to be selected as
his brother Shaun, who was
playing with the Montgomery
Biscuits before a trade later in
2006, was selected in the 10th
round by the Tampa Bay Devil
Rays back in 2003.
"I come from a baseball
family," said Cumberland. "I
have always been around the
game and love it."
Family and friends of
Caleb Gindl saw a very com-
petitive young man go on a
roller coaster ride with his
emotions before he Wa, finally
selected by the Brewers with
their fourth pick overall in the
draft.
"It has been a crazy day,"
said Gindl around five o'clock
Thursday night. "I will go sit
down, try to sleep, and the go
walk outside."
Before the day even start-
ed, Gindl was at the PARA


Former Milton Panther Adam Allen is seen getting a hip check in
the lane as he goes in for a dunk against Pensacola High School
in the Panther's Den last basketball season. The summer was an
interesting one for Allen, who was one of three area signees to
the SEC in 2007.


Pace players and cheerleaders celebrate their fourth consecutive victory over the Milton Panthers
during the regular season and made it five in a row during the post season.


Sportsplex to help Pace Head
Coach Charlie Warner with a
baseball camp.
"Going out to the camp
helped me a little today," said
Gindl. "But the kids at the
very end started asking me
questions and I started to get
nervous.
"But I like working with
the kids at camps like that. It is
fun for me."
For Gindl, he had an idea
of the clubs who were interest-
ed in him as when it was their
turn to pick in each round he
and his father Steven along
with other family members
would gather in the kitchen to
watch.
And as the rounds went
from the third, to the fourth,
and then to the start of the
fifth, Gindl was resigned to the
fact a pro career might not be
in his future.
Then at 7:18 his cell
phone rang.
"I can't say anything for
three minutes," said Gindl as
he got off of his cell phone.,
But he walked over to his
computer and said come on
Milwaukee.
While Gindl was watching
the computer, his former high
school coach Charlie Warner
was on his cell phone.
"I was coaching a youth
team in a game in Crestview
when my cell phone rang,"
said Warner. "We were on
defense and I was sitting on a
bucket of baseballs when the
phone rang and I didn't recog-
nize the area code. So I
answered it.
"It was a scout and he
asked me if Gindl really want-
ed to sign. He told me they
were looking at picking him in
the next 10 picks and then he
told me Caleb has just been
taken by Milwaukee."
Story five belongs to
Central Coach Tony
McDonald for reaching win
No. 600 in late January.
It would be difficult to say


who was more relieved in
Allentown Tuesday Coach
Tony McDonald or his play-
ers.
In a testament to longevity
as a coach, the Jaguars gave
McDonald his 600th career
win as a coach with a 53-48
win over Rocky Bayou.
"After Friday night I am
glad it ended tonight," said
McDonald, who has been the
head coach at Central for 22 of
his 26 years as a coach.
For his players it was a
time to put up or shut up.
"We told each other in the
locker room before the game
that tonight we needed to put
up or shut up," said senior
Keith Germann, who led the
Jaguars with 18 points and 21
rebounds. "If we didn't back
up what we said tonight, then
we didn't deserve to be out on
the floor."
Despite taking a 14-9 lead
and holding on to a 23-20
halftime advantage the
Jaguars looked a little flat and
were having trouble getting
their shots to fall.
"I don't know if it was
coming off the loss Friday or


Press Gazette file photo
what be we were just flat in
the first half," said McDonald.
"We missed some point blank
shots and in the third quarter it
came down to us missing and
them making their shots."
That third quarter had
every Jaguar fan on the edge
of their seat wondering how
long the quest for 600 was
going to go as Rocky Bayou
went up at one point by five,
30-25, a couple of minutes in
the third quarter.
"I don't know what was
going on," said Logan
Campbell, who finished the
game with 16 points and 10
rebounds. "I just couldn't get
the ball to fall in."
Germann and Campbell
were glad to see McDonald
get his 600th win, but stated it
didn't add any pressure to
them during the game.
Then in the fourth quarter
the Jaguars used an 8-3 run to
take the lead for good aid
secure the win for McDonald.
"We made an adjustment
on offense and went to a trian-
gle set which gave us the one-
on-one match up we were

looking for," said McDonald.
When asked about win
600, McDonald reflected back
to his first game as a coach
against Pensacola Christian
Academy and a one point
affair.
"If you would have asked
me then about coaching this
long or 600 career wins I
would have laughed," admitted
McDonald. "I am glad to have
coached this long, but I don't
know if I would have advised
someone to coach at one
school as long as I have.
"Sometimes people take
things for granted and that is
not good in the coaching pro-
fession."
Story six is Pace going 13-


1 for the second time in three
years, but they have yet to get
past the Class 4A Semi-Finals.
For the second time in
three years it was Pace coming
up short against Nease High in
Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
In 2007 it too Nease four
overtimes to win a single point
decision 49-48.
After trailing by 15 points
at the start of the fourth quarter
the Patriots (13-1) came back
and forced four overtime peri-
ods as the game was decided
by an extra point called wide
right by the officials off the
foot of Eric Martinez.
"We just came up short
tonight," said Pace Head
Coach Mickey Lindsey, whose


team tied the record for the
longest playoff game set last
season when Bartow defeated
Wauchula Hardee 37-31 in
four overtimes in the Region 1-
3A final. "We tried everything
tonight. Some of it worked and
some of it didn't.
"It was a heck of a game."
Airi Johnson fought his
way into the end zone on third
and goal to keep the Patriots
hopes alive of a fifth overtime
period, but those hopes were
dashed as Martinez collapsed
to the sandy turf as the officials
indicated his extra point was no
good.
Johnson, who led Pace
with 34 yards rushing and two
touchdowns, showed just how

hard it was to gain those few
yards.
"It was a very physical
game out there," said Johnson.
"But we gave it our all as a
team and never did quit the
whole game as a team.
"Because of that I knew I
wasn't going to quit on that
final run till I crossed the goal
line."
Pace took its first lead of
the game at 7-3 when Aaron
Munoz hit senior Riley
Hawkins for an 80 yard touch-
down strike down the left side-
line with 3:29 remaining in the
first quarter.
They would not see the
lead again until the first over-
time period when Martinez
nailed a 23 yard field goal to
make it 32-39.
Pace's defense once again
had an answer for another
offensive juggernaut as they
intercepted Ted Stachitas twice
in the fourth quarter.
Lindsey was disappointed
and hurting as much as his
players following the end of
the game, but he was hurting
more for his kids.
"These kids are winners
and have been winners all sea-
son long," said Lindsey.
"These kids are going to hurt
for awhile, but that one point
won't take anything away
these young men have accom-
plished.
"It was a great year when
you finish 13-1. We just fin-
ished one point short."
Number seven was the hot
stick Gindl was swinging in the
minor leagues.
Gindl is not as much of a
secret as he was this past June
when the Milwaukee Brewers
took him in the fifth round.
At one point the 19 year
old, who was named to the
Pioneer League All-Star
Squad, was batting .490 and
had a 12 game hitting streak for
the Helena Brewers.
Gindl won the Pioneer
League batting crown with an
average of .372, and was
assigned to the Brewers Single
A affiliate in West Virginia for
the post season.
He finished his first year as
a pro with 77 hits in 20' at bats
with 22 doubles, three triples,
and five home runs.
Number eight was Brett
Swanson Day at Pace.

Despite his shy demeanor,
Brett Swanson was a big man
on campus at Pace High
School in his younger days.
On Wednesday the former
Patriot enjoyed a heroes wel-
come on what was Brett
Swanson Day.
"This is definitely special,"
said Swanson, who played on
the back-to-back National
Champion Florida Gator
teams. "Never in my wildest
dreams did I imagine one title
let alone two.
"After graduating from
Pensacola Junior College I was
excited to be a part of a pro-
gram at that level."
What most doesn't know is
how hard Swanson worked to
be a part of the Gators program
as a walk-on.
But one particular coach
knew the size of Swanson's
heart and that was former Pace
Head Coach Sean Twitty.
"I remember this young
and small sophomore came up
and told me he wanted to be on
the varsity team," recalled
Twitty, who is now Dean of
Students at King Middle
School. "He told me he wanted
to get better and he wanted to
practice against the best to get
better.
"He was on the varsity for
three years and during that time
he worked harder than player I
have ever coached. Brett is a
prime example if you focus on
your goal and work hard
enough anything is possible."
Despite the clock striking
midnight on his basketball
career in Atlanta on April 2,
Swanson knew he was going to
be a part of something special
after visiting Florida.
"I knew there was some-
thing special about this team
when I first met the players,"
said Swanson. "During my
visit everyone was talking
about how the team had lost a
lot and they didn't have much
coming back.
"But I realized I had
stepped into something special
because the guys genuinely
care about each other and win-
ning meant the most' to every-
one."
Now Swanson is focusing
on completing his engineering
degree as he prepares for sum-
mer school, while working on a
special design to represent
Florida's back-to-back titles in
basketball.
Swanson reached his goal
to compete with the game's
elite, despite some struggles he
faced while playing for his
father Paul at Pensacola Junior
College.
"It got to a point for me at
PJC were I was struggling and
frustrated," said Swanson. "I
was playing the game to the
best of my ability and not being
recruited to play at the Division
I level.
"I tried to work harder and
it finally took a toll."
Swanson did not get a lot
of minutes as a member of the
Gators, but he was a part of the
team and living his dream of
playing Division-I ball.
"This experience has
taught me that you can't guar-
,antee hard work will play off,"
'"said Swanson. "But if you
don't work hard it wont."
Number nine was the
Southeastern Conference inva-
sion in golf,. basketball, and
baseball.
Haley Millsap was the golf
selection as she signed this past
November with the University
of Mississippi.
Millsap doesn't know
when to leave the course
except for when it becomes
dark.
"I have to go golfing," said
Millsap, who earned a silver
medal at the 2006 FHSAA
Girls 3A State Golf
Tournament. "I wake up early
so I can go.
"It is not something I have
to do it is something I want to
do. I like working on my
game."
A typical day for this
golfer starts at 5:45 when she


wakes up to get ready for
school and the day part ends at
2:15 p.m. That is when she
realizes she has 30 minutes to
get to the course, when she gets
home after dark it is time for
her schoolwork.
"I have teachers wanting
me to stay after school at times
to do make-up work and other


stuff," said Millsap. "But I
remind them I have to get to
the course and work on my
game while there is still day-
light left."
Now she hopes to be a cog
in what is a very successful
team at the University of
Mississippi.
"Coach (Michele
Drinkard) is wanting to devel-
op a very competitive team and
I am glad she feels I can be a
part of that," said Millsap. "I
hope my hard work will pay off
and I can be a part of her devel-
oping a successful program
with the golfers we sign while I
am there."
Jay's Brandt Hendricks is
one of the most softspoken
young men you would ever
meet, but behind that devilish
grin is someone you don't want
to meet on the field of athletics.
Hendricks, who is a three-
sport letterman at Jay High
School, signed to pitch at the
University of Alabama.
"When you are a kid you
dream of playing high school
sports and in high school it
goes to college," said
Hendricks. "Now I get to live
out that dream and who knows
where it could go from there."
Some think it could
involve a professional baseball
career as some are looking at
drafting Hendricks, but he isn't
thinking about that now.
"I don't know or want to
think about that," said
Hendricks. "If it happens it
happens.
"I am just going to do the
best that I can wherever I am."
Milton's Adam Alien
decided early to play for coach
Billy Donovan and the two-
time defending national cham-
pion University of Florida
Gators, he wasn't ready for the
summer roller coaster ride.
Allen, like the rest of the
state, watched the soap opera
of Donovan's career choice
unfold in the national media.
As Donovan was
announced as the Orlando
Magic's head coach Allen took
a wait and see attitude.
"I am looking at who they
bring in to be the next coach,"
said Allen, who is one of three
in state recruits signed by
Donovan before the Gators
won their second consecutive
national championship. "When
I find out who the new coach
will be then I will weigh my
options."
At number ten we had a tie
between Shaun Cumberland
being traded from the Tampa
Bay Devil Rays to the
Cincinnati Reds and Lawence
Tynes being traded to the New
York Giants.
Draft Day could make
some players expendable.
After the NFL Draft Tynes,
a Milton High graduate,
learned how important Kansas
City's fifth round selection of
Justin Medlock was to his
future.
Tynes was traded to the
New York Giants for a condi-
tional draft choice.
For the previous three sea-
son Tynes has accounted for
100 plus points since he beat
out Morten Anderson, the
NFL's career field goal leader,
in training camp for the starting
job.
During his three year
career as the Chiefs' starter
Tynes has connected on 68 of
86 field goal attempts, which
includes hitting six of 11 from
beyond 50 yards, and 137 of
141 extra point conversions.
Shaun Cumberland spent
some time living out of a suit-
case after he was part of a four-
player deal between the Tampa
Bay Devil Rays and the
Cincinnati Reds.
News of the trade seemed
to be a shock to everyone
involved.
"I was shocked to learn I
had been traded," said
Cumberland in a telephone
interview from Huntsville. "I
was not expecting this at all.
"But in the back of my
mind I figured there were some
options for some of us with the


current players the Devil Rays
have in the big leagues."
Shaun Cumberland and
infielder Jorge Cantu along
with some cash were traded to
the Reds for two pitchers -
right-hander Calvin Medlock
and left-hander Brian
Shackelford along with
