Mackenzie Lane, a 2008 CHS graduate, completed the 2011 Drum Corps International Sum-mer Tour with The Cadets from Allentown, Pa., and comes home a world champion. Wrapping up a 17,000-mile summer cross-country tour of the United States, the 2011 Cadets show “Between Angels and Demons” captured a clean sweep of the DCI World Championships in Indianapolis, winning the top spot on quarterfinals, semifinals and finals night.

For the 10th time in the organi-zation’s 77-year history, the Cadets

can again call themselves world champions. The corps proved that “Between Angels and Demons” lies a corps with unparalleled talent and dedication, earning a score of 98.35 of 100 and the 2011 World Championship title on Aug. 13 at the Drum Corps Internation-al Finals. Word of the win came to the Washington County News in the form of a release from the Ca-dets’ office in Allentown.

“Between Angels and Demons” is a performance based on the epic struggle of good and evil put on the field to musical selections by Frank Ticheli and Hans Zimmer. The white-uniformed “Angels” do

battle with the maroon-uniformed “Demons” for a 13-minute thrill ride that eventually ends with good triumphing over evil.

The Cadets, a program of Youth Education in The Arts, are one of the oldest and most honored con-tinuously operating drum and bugle corps in the world, with per-forming members from all over the country and world.

Lane is a senior attending The Baptist College of Florida, major-ing in music education. In a state-ment issued by the Cadets, he said he would like to thank his friends, family and all who helped this pos-sibility become a reality.

Staff report

The Chipola Healthy Start Board of Directors welcomed Richard Alan Williams as their new board member at his first meeting. Williams is one of two members representing the area on the 10-member board, joining long-time member and past board chair Glo-ria Keenan of Bristol.

Williams is the executive director of the Chipola Regional Workforce Develop-ment Board, a private sector-driven policy and over-sight organization designed to assist employers and employ-ees in Calhoun, Holmes, Jack-son, Liberty and Washington counties. As workforce direc-tor, he has spent the last nine years working closely with lo-cal governmental, economic development organizations and private-sector entities to help improve the business cli-mate, and thus employment opportunities, of the region.

“I’m excited to add Rich-ard’s expertise and resources

to our team to help Chipola Healthy Start move in a posi-tive direction as we contin-ue to serve our five-county area,” said Chipola Healthy Start Board Chair Chephus Granberry. “He brings a lot of

board experience and connections that will be a valuable asset.”

In addition to Chipola Healthy Start, Williams is a board member of several other organizations including Florida’s Great Northwest, Opportunity Florida, Early Learning Coali-

tion of Northwest Florida and the Chipola River Soil and Water Conservation District. He also served on the Florida Department of Juvenile Jus-tice’s Blueprint Commission and served as an ex-officio member of the State of Flor-ida’s WAGES (Work and Gain Economic Sufficiency) Board, which was responsible for the initial implementation of Florida’s successful welfare reform effort.

WESTVILLE — According to the Florida Highway Pa-trol, on Sept. 3, at 8:45 a.m., on County Road 163, a 2006 Nissan Pickup driven by Charlie Lee Miller, Jr., 39, of Westville, collided with

a culvert on the west shoul-der of County Road 163 near Mims Road. The front of the pickup collided with the cul-vert on the south side of the Laura Ingalls Wilder His-torical Site driveway. As the pickup crossed the drive-way, it became airborne and struck a tree north of the drive. Miller landed north

of the tree, and the pickup rolled on to its right side, facing east when it came to a final rest. Those who wit-nessed the accident pulled Miller from the truck before it ignited. The investigation indicated that Miller was having a heart attack at the scene, which possibly contributed to the accident.

Miller was wearing a sea belt at the time of the crash. There were no passengers in the truck

Miller was later trans-ported to Southeast Ala-bama Medical Center in Dothan, Ala., and was pro-nounced dead at 10:36 p.m., according to law enforce-ment reports.

pANAMA cITY — The 463 first responders and flight crew personnel who died on Sept. 11, 2001 trying to manage the devastation brought to American soil by terrorists are frequently remembered as part of the collective tale of American courage displayed that day.

But they were more than that. They were husbands, wives, sons, daughters, mothers and fathers and on Sunday, Sept. 11, 2011, each one was remembered as an individual as their names were read during Bay County’s 10-year remembrance ceremony at Panama City Marina.

More than a dozen first responders and military personnel took turns reciting the list of names, each group concluding with the traditional ringing of a bell.

Fire service, law enforcement, military, emergency medical service and civilian flight crew representatives shared their memories and reflections of that tragic day with an audience of hundreds who came to honor the fallen. Most of the attendees were from the fields most deeply impacted by that day.

Near the end of his time at the lectern, EMS director Corky Young asked everyone who served as a first responder on Sept. 10, 2001 to raise their hands. Dozens appeared in the air.

“I salute you for coming to work on Sept. 12,” he said. “And all of those who joined after, I salute you for entering a career path knowing what could happen.”

Julius Halas, director of the Division of the State Fire Marshal, was a fire chief in Sarasota County on Sept. 11, 2001. While first responders

in the county were already on heightened alert because of then-President George W. Bush’s visit to a local school, they were thrown into chaos when, prior to the president, they learned the country was under attack. Suddenly their town had come into immediate danger simply by hosting the president.

“I tell you that story because you never know when the next terror incident is going to take place,” he said.

The fallen heroes are and should be remembered and honored, he said. But thousands of people put their lives on the line to protect their neighbors simply by going to work and they are equally deserving of our thoughts and respect, Halas said.

In the wake of the terrorist attack, an unprecedented level of patriotism flooded the country, Maj. Tom McCarthy

of Panama City Police Department said. The American flag appeared everywhere; in front of houses, businesses and even car windows. The message of unity was strong and appropriate, he said.

“The men and women who died trying to rescue people from the day’s events were, like you, undoubtedly patriots,” he said.

McCarthy said he still flies the Stars and Stripes outside his home every day, but he has noticed the prevalence of the flag beginning to dwindle. He challenged each attendee to renew the vigorous and visual passion they had for their country on that day and sustain it through the trials of every day life.

“Let’s work together toward making Panama City synonymous with Flag City and being the city that will never forget,” he said.

First responders are remembered

When asked what drives him, Williams replied, “I’ve got a passion for the peo-ple of this area, and I want to help. I want to not only teach people to fish, but how to get the fishing pole.” He sees his role on the Chipola Healthy Start Board as, “… just another avenue to try to help.

“I want to make sure we (at Chipola Healthy Start) are using a long-term view and leveraging our resourc-es to get the most back for the people of this area.”

PANAMA CITY — Steven Mark Lang apologized to the families of the two men killed during a botched home invasion of his design, but he insisted he was the innocent vic-tim of vindictive police and prosecutors.

Judge James Fensom sentenced Lang to spend the rest of his life in prison for his role as the alleged mastermind in the May 2010 home invasion rob-bery that left two men dead. Lang received four consecutive life sentences.

Though Michael Norman actu-ally shot Devin Butler and Patrick Duffy inside his Southport home,

it was Lang who put the two men up to the crime, according to pros-ecutors, and it was Lang who was charged and convicted of murder.

Randy Butler said his son left behind six brothers and sisters.

Lisa Sowell, Butler’s mother, called the sen-tence a “hollow victory.” She said her son was in-telligent and good-heart-ed but made some bad decisions. She said Lang wasn’t the only one being sentenced.

“I’ve been sentenced to a lifetime without my

son,” she told Fensom. “I’ll never have grandchildren, and I’ll never hear, ‘I love you, mom’ again.”

Brittany Duffy said she wanted the maximum sentence for Lang, though it wouldn’t bring Patrick

back, and Duffy’s mother de-scribed a bright and talented man with a solid future until he began to struggle with drug addiction.

Lang was convicted based in part on testimony by two more alleged co-conspirators, Alecia Alford and Justin Polston, who pleaded guilty to charges of ac-cessory to armed burglary after the fact and second-degree mur-der and were sentenced to five years and 20 years, respectively.

In court Monday, Lang was de-fiant, calling his conviction an “in-justice” and promising to spend the rest of his life exposing the “deplorable” actions of investi-gators and the “unconscionable” actions of prosecutors. But he said he was “sincerely sorry” to the families of Butler and Duffy, and he apologized to his mother

and Norman and Nelson, whom he called “the true victims of this tragedy.”

Outside the courtroom after the hearing, prosecutor Larry Basford assured members of Duffy’s and Butler’s families the case had been prosecuted ethically.

Lang, Polston, Butler, Duffy and Alford planned to rob Nor-man and his roommate, Daniel Nelson, of money and drugs. Norman and Nelson are charged with several counts each of drug trafficking and possession of child pornography after various amounts and types of drugs were discovered buried in their back-yard, according to investigators. Authorities said they also found pornographic video footage of Lang and Norman.

PANAMA CITY — The U.S. Coast Guard sought public input Mon-day on an update to the Sector Mobile Area Contingency Plan that guides responses to marine pollution emergencies.

In the wake of the Deepwa-ter Horizon oil spill, Capt. Don Rose, commander of the USCG’s Sector Mobile, said Coast Guard officials convened a panel to dis-sect the Coast Guard response to the crisis and create a “lessons learned” document. The 35 sector commanders have been instruct-ed to incorporate that informa-tion into their Area Contingency Plans (ACP) after seeking public comment.

Area Contingency Plans are blueprints for how incident com-manders are to handle an emer-

gency pollution event. They con-tain names and contact informa-tion on important players along with geographical information for the coastline, including sensi-tive areas and boat launches and access points. It also contains general rules on proceeding with containment and cleanup.

“This is not a step-by-step guide for what to do in every oil spill,” Rose said.

The Coast Guard went through a similar process in 2008 and re-ceived very little public participa-tion. Their experience so far this year at previous meetings in Ala-bama, Mississippi and Escambia County has yielded a far different result. The meeting Monday after-noon in the Bay County Govern-ment Center had few attendees, but they had a lot to say, and the meeting lasted more than two hours.

“Most folks didn’t really care about the Area Contingency Plan until a little incident we had last summer involving Deepwater Horizon sinking and exploding,” Rose said.

Most of the participants were emergency management officials from surrounding counties, in-cluding Gulf, Franklin and Oka-loosa, but concerned citizens from Walton and other counties attend-ed, as well.

Much of the conversation cen-tered on the need for the ACP to contain plans on an efficient way to distribute accurate information to local leaders and residents in the 15 coastal counties comprising Sector Mobile. Many participants, even those charged with managing response to the emergency, com-plained that different agencies of-ten seemed out of touch with one another and issued contradictory

information. Questions often were met with a bureaucratic puzzle and in a few cases demands for a formal, written Freedom of Infor-mation Act request.

There also were concerns about language that grants sector commanders a standing clearance to use dispersants in managing oil slicks, but fails to clarify when, where and what kind of disper-sants can be used.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill also highlighted the need to have procedures in place to lay boom around important areas. There were protocols for laying boom, but they were removed sev-eral years ago, Rose said. A new “worst-case scenario” section also will be in the new plans, which re-quires commanders to identify the worst possible event that could happen in their sector and stipu-late what the result could be.

In the field of Bluegrass music, one of the industry’s magazines, Bluegrass Unlimited, September 2011 issue, has dedicated the entire year to a William Smith (Bill) Monroe Centennial Celebration. Sirius Radio’s Bluegrass Junction Channel, is billing 2011 as the “Year of Bill Monroe”.

Throughout each broadcast day, a cross section of recordings from Bluegrass Bands, both past and present, are featured on that Satellite XM station.

The “prattler’s” keen

interest in bluegrass, bluegrass gospel and the old time traditional music, simply cannot let the recognition of Bill Monroe’s

uncommon musical life, go unnoticed.

He was born September 13, 1911 near Rosine, Kentucky and died September 9, 1996, just two days short of his 85th birthday.

He is buried near his birth place with the towering

impressive tombstone bearing a bronze picture plaque, with the name “Monroe” beautifully engraved in the mammoth marker.

The grave site, enclosed with coping and

native rock, bears in bold lettering “William “Bill” Monroe, with the birth and death dates prominently inscribed.

The top of the vault contains much of the history of this man who achieved greatness writing songs from his heart and playing music he grew up with, an art he dearly loved.

Bill’s father, Buck, was a farmer, cattleman, sawmill operator, coal miner and hued cross ties from the farm’s virgin timber.

He was a buck dancer and Bill remembers how well he did the Kentucky Backstep!.

Malissa, Bill’s mother, played fiddle and accordion and reported that playing music relieved the every

day pains of chronic leg swelling which constantly plagued her life.

Bill was the baby of the family, with brothers Birch and Charlie and sister, Bertha, being his senior.

He reportedly had poor vision as a youngster, which caused him to feel left out of a lot activities with children his own age.

He was said to be a lonesome lad and painfully shy to the point of hiding in the barn when visitors came to the farm.

What rescued him was the musical talent Bill inherited from his mother’s side of the family.

She sang old time ballads around the house in addition to adding the harmonica to the instruments she played.

Then there was her brother, Pendleton Vandiver, the “Uncle Pen” who Monroe was to write an important song some years later.

He was an old time fiddle player, who would bring his fiddle each time he came to visit the family for a few days at the time.

After supper, Bill would get him to “fiddle” until his father would call “bed time”.

Bluegrass lovers recall the lyrics to this old song which remained a Bill Monroe standard throughout his career:

“Late in the evenin’ about sundown, High in a hill above the town, Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Oh, how it would ring! You can hear it talk, you can hear it sing!”

Bill’s mother died when he was eight and the father died when he was fifteen.

He then “batched it” with his uncle Pen.

When the uncle died in 1930, Bill, along with brothers, Birch and Charlie went to Chicago and found employment in an oil refinery.

The brothers played music in northern Indiana radio stations in their spare time.

After Birch returned to Kentucky, Charlie and Bill teamed up as the Monroe Brothers and were able to do some recordings.

When the two went separate ways, Charlie Monroe and the Kentucky Pardners became the name of his group with the second band taking the name of Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys.

It is reported that Bill Monroe trained and employed one hundred and seventy- five “blue grass boys” in his extensive history of playing music, recording and playing for public appearances.

He made it to the Grand Ol’ Opry in Nashville in 1939 taking a band consisting of string bass, guitar, fiddle and his mandolin.

Record sales and personal concerts sky rocketed upon his becoming an Opry star.

Bill Monroe has been labeled “The Father of Bluegrass” and such greats as Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, Mac Wiseman, Chubby Wise and Del McCoury had their start with this man.

Wayne Lewis holds the record as serving the longest tenure as lead singer with Bill and Kenny Baker, who just died July 8, 2011 at age 85, began working with Bill Monroe as the fiddler in July 1957 and worked off and on until October 12, 1984.

He reportedly recorded 237 sides with Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys between 1968 and 1984.

Highlight honors in the Bill Monroe career include induction into the County Music Hall of Fame in 1970, Nashville Songwriters Association in 1971, appeared on the stage of Ford Theater in Washington, D.C. in 1979 in a televised concert for President Jimmy Carter, a 1988 honor when “Blue Moon of Kentucky” was designated the office state song by the Kentucky General Assembly and his induction into the International Bluegrass Hall of Fame in 1991.

The current issue of Bluegrass Unlimited has five feature tribute articles by various writers on this outstanding performer.

One writing list twenty- eight Columbia Records “sides” recorded in 1946-47 and further gave a combined total of one hundred and eleven songs, by titles, which the man wrote, recorded or played at festival events during his illustrious musical career.

Your writer has to admit that he did not recall all of them.

My musical friends in Washington County, Jerry Tyre and Rex Sowell, and Lizzie R. Lewis in Holmes County could possible score one hundred percent in remembering the songs.

Miss Lizzie was president of this area’s Bill Monroe Fan Club for many years and furnished much information for this writing.

See you all next week.

2011 is ‘Year of Bill Monroe’

When I was young, I learned that a deal’s a deal. Your word is your bond.

Even, fair is fair.Later, when

I entered public service, I am proud to say, these principals had the force of politics behind them.

In fact, these tenets kept quite a few stupid ideas from ever seeing the light of day.

But now, the State of Florida’s leadership has decided the state’s word is not its bond, we’ve learned.

Apparently, fairness can be suspended just because either we don’t want to spend the money we thought we’d invest or we don’t like the outcome.

A generation ago, Florida decided as a matter of public policy that being “the Sunshine State” meant, at least in part, that there should be public investment in solar energy generation.

Eventually, a program was developed (and funded) to encourage home and business owners to invest in solar generation.

Power utilities were to invest in “smart” meters that would allow solar-produced electricity to be sold by indi-viduals and businesses.

Not only that, but the State promised to

reimburse homeowners and businesses for their installation of solar panels.

Was it a good idea? Probably not.

Was it a cost-effective way to generate solar power? Definitely not.

Should it have been done? Let’s just say I wouldn’t have done it.

But done it was. Agreements were

signed. Twenty-two million dollars or so was allocated.

Well, guess what? Now that solar panels

are being installed and bills are being presented, the State of Florida has decided this is not at all cool, and “they” have decided not to pay.

My point is that it’s too late for that.

The State promised to pay causing businesses and homeowners to invest hard-to-come-by resources.

These investors are right to cry foul!

The State of Florida is all of us. Our word is our bond, and fair is fair.

Should we have promised to pay? No way.

Did we promise to pay? Yes, indeed.

Do we owe the debt? No question.

Rick Scott and the Legislature should pay up – and learn the valuable lesson: be careful how you promise to spend my money!

A deal’s a deal? Nope!

Special to the News

Washington County IFAS Extension is conducting new Master Gardener Volunteer Training this fall.

To help you decide, ask yourself the following questions: Do I want to learn more about plants, growing things and gardening? Am I eager to participate in a practical and intensive training program? Do I look forward to sharing my knowledge with people in my community? Do I have enough time to attend the training and to complete my volunteer commitment?

As the Horticulture Extension Agent for Washington County, I would like to extend to the public an invitation to join us and become part of the Washington County Master Gardeners.

This year there is room for approximately 20 people to participate in the new Master Gardener training program, scheduled to begin on Sept. 20. The program will take place Every Tuesday, through Dec. 13, with the exception of Thanksgiving week. Classes will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with one hour lunch/social break, in the east wing of the Washington County Ag. Center.

A brief history and description of the Florida Master Gardener

Program will follow.In 1972, an innovative

extension agent in the State of Washington reasoned that well-trained volunteers could enhance his education program by providing basic horticulture information to homeowners, develop projects to enhance the community and assist him in conducting interactive educational classes and workshops.

The Extension agent selected, trained, and certified volunteers as Master Gardeners.

They soon succeeded in meeting his desired objectives — in fact they exceeded his expectations. This led to the genesis of the Master Gardener volunteer program.

Since that time, the Master Gardener program has grown and is now active in 45 states. Florida’s began in 1979. The program has been a tremendous success and is now active in over half of Florida’s counties.

The Florida Master Gardener Program is sponsored by the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) of which the Cooperative Extension Service is a part.

Just what is the Cooperative Extension Service?

The motto and goal of the Cooperative

Extension Service is “Helping People Help Themselves.” Thus, you can see how well the volunteer Master Gardener concept fits into the ultimate objectives and goals of the Extension Service.

In order to be considered for this year’s program, you will need to do several things:

1.Complete the application form, which is available at the Washington County Extension Office.

2.Send a check made out to Washington County Agriculture Improvement Fund (memo Horticulture) for $125. This fee covers the materials you will use during training, including books and the graduation dinner. Materials will be ordered after the first class. Although checks are due when applying, they will be refunded after the first class should you need to withdraw. After the first class, materials will be ordered, so there are no refunds.

3. Return all forms and your check by September 20, 2011 in person or by mail

To request these forms, please email, call or come by the Washington County Extension Office at 1424 Jackson Ave., Chipley.

If you have any questions, please contact County Extension Agent Matthew J. Orwat at 638-6180 or [email protected].

Vehicle extrication demonstrations will continue throughout the day.

On campus, later in

the evening, will be the annual banquet.

Sunday – Participants of the water safety class will be taking a “leap of faith” into the pool of the Quality Inn in full gear and air packs.

Vehicle extrications will continue throughout the day, as well as various live fire demonstrations.

The weekend, a cooperative effort between the NW Florida Volunteer Firefighter Weekend Council and the Region 1 Type 3 All Hazards Incident Management Team from the Florida Forest Service, promises several learning opportunities, hands-on training and unique experiences.

More information, including registration is available from Todd W. Schroeder of the Florida Forest Service at 414-1138 or Mike Cox of the State Fire Marshal’s Office at (813) 918-2303.

SHANKSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — The remains of those killed aboard Flight 93 in rural Pennsylvania were buried Monday in a pri-vate ceremony for family members of the 40 pas-sengers and crew, who were joined by those who responded to the scene on Sept. 11, 2001.

Nearly 500 family members, along with po-lice, fire and emergency workers took part in the private interment at the Flight 93 National Memorial.

The park was closed to the public to give them privacy.

A rabbi, a Buddhist sensei, a Catholic priest and a Lutheran minister officiated as the remains, kept in three caskets in a

crypt for nearly 10 years, were placed to rest af-ter being looked after by Somerset County Coro-ner Wallace Miller.

Carole O’Hare, whose mother Hilda Marcin was traveling to California to live with her daugh-ter, said the ceremony brought some peace.

“There’s definitely peace of mind. I was al-ways concerned about what would happen with the unidentified re-mains,” O’Hare said. “And now my feeling is they’re at peace and where they are meant to be.”

After the religious leaders spoke, the Som-erset County Honor Guard played taps, and the American flags on each of the three dark

brown caskets were fold-ed and given to those in attendance.

Family members and mourners placed flow-ers on the caskets. The ceremony took place at what’s called the Sacred Ground site in the field at the national park.

Jerry Bingham, the fa-ther of victim Mark Bing-ham, said the service was “done just right.”

He thanked Miller for taking care of the uniden-tified remains and for all his work with the family members.

“He’s just a fantastic man. We’re just glad that Wally Miller was here. He took care of us fami-lies and took us under his wing. We’re very fortu-nate,” Bingham said.


NEW YORK (AP) — The plot of land known for a decade as “the pile,” ‘’the pit” and “ground zero” opened to the public Monday for the first time since that terrible morning in 2001, transformed into a memorial consisting of two serene reflecting pools ringed by the chiseled-in-bronze names of the nearly 3,000 souls lost.

The 9/11 memorial plaza opened its gates at 10 a.m. under tight, airport-style security. Visitors walked among hundreds of white oak trees on the eight-acre site and gazed at the water on the exact spots where the World Trade Center’s twin towers stood.

They also ran their fingers over the names of the 2,977 people killed in the terrorist attacks in New York, at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania, as well as the six who died in the bombing of the trade center in 1993.

“It’s so surreal. When we walked in, those images were popping in my head from 10 years ago,” said Laura Pajar, a pharmaceutical-industry researcher from Las Vegas. “But when I saw the memorial, all of that went away. This is so peaceful, and you kind of forget about what happened and you look toward the future.”

Jim Drzewiecki, a volunteer firefighter from Lancaster, N.Y., said he was shaking as he walked up to the memorial entrance and stood next to the pools.

“It makes it clear how devastating — to see the number of people who lost their lives at this location,” he said. He added: “I’m actually still shaking. It could have been me on that

flight. On any one of the flights. ... There’s not much that separates us.”

Eileen Cristina, of Lititz, Pa., who a decade ago volunteered her services as a massage therapist to the landfill workers who handled the trade center debris, was moved to tears.

“For me, the water element is very important, because water is so cleansing. Water can cleanse the energy of the area,” she said.

Visitors sat on benches and clustered for photos in front of the trees. Some wept, some embraced. Others made pencil-and-paper rubbings of the victims’ names. Sun gleamed off the bronze parapets on which the names were inscribed.

The memorial plaza opened to the families of the victims for the first

time on Sunday.Jelena Watkins,

whose brother died at the trade center, came from London for Sunday’s 10th anniversary of the attacks. At the memorial, she and her husband held up their two children so that they could see their uncle’s name. Luka, 5, ran his hands through the water that pools under the names.

“I love it. It was a huge relief to see that it’s actually beautiful,” Watkins said. “It’s the right feel. It’s just so right. It’s so spacious.”

Although thousands of construction workers have come and gone from the site over the years, Monday marked the first time that ordinary Americans without a badge, a press pass or a hard hat were able to walk the grounds where the victims were once entombed in a mountain of smoking rubble.

About 7,000 people were issued tickets for opening day. Some 400,000 have

reserved tickets for the coming months, memorial president Joe Daniels said.

“For the vast majority of the world, the images that they remember from this site are very difficult. It’s the recovery period, it’s seeing those images of the towers falling. So when they come on now and see this place that’s been transformed into a place of beauty, it’s exciting,” Daniels said.

Admission is free, but access is tightly controlled. Visitors need to obtain passes in advance, allowing them to enter at a specified time. No more than about 1,500 at a time will be allowed in.

Visitors must empty their pockets, walk through a metal detector and send their handbags and backpacks through an X-ray machine.

The museum portion of the memorial complex is still under construction. The museum pavilion, a tilting structure that evokes the sections of the trade center facade

that remained standing after the towers fell, is scheduled to open on the 11th anniversary of the attacks.

Eventually visitors to the underground portion will be able to gaze at such sights as the giant slurry wall, built to keep the Hudson River from flooding the trade center’s foundations, and the survivor’s staircase that allowed so many people to flee to safety.

The cost of the memorial and museum has been put at about $700 million, with an annual operating budget of $50 million to $60 million. The nonprofit organization that runs the project has raised about $400 million in private donations and is seeking federal funds so that the memorial and museum can be free of charge.

The centerpiece of the memorial is the two giant, square pits and reflecting pools that sit in the footprints of the two towers. The waterfalls

cascading down the four walls of each fountain are the largest such fountains in North America.

The letters in the names have been entirely cut out of the bronze, with only emptiness beneath them.

Skyscrapers are now pushing upward all around the plaza, and the roar of construction will be a constant at the site for some time.

One World Trade Center, the spire once called the Freedom Tower, is now 1,000 feet high and well on its way to becoming the tallest building in the U.S. at 1,776 feet — higher even than the twin towers. The steel skeleton of the new 4 World Trade Center is 47 stories high and counting.

The memorial foundation has arranged for a separate entrance for relatives of the victims and plans to set aside certain days or hours where the plaza will be open only to firefighters, police officers and other emergency workers.

9/11 memorial plaza in NYC opens to public

By Mitch StacyAssociated Press

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — The little injured dolphin they called Winter couldn’t have come along at a better time for the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, a rustic sea life rescue center occupying the city’s old sewage treatment plant.

The nonprofit public aquarium was about ready to go belly-up at the end of 2005, when the baby bottlenose dolphin was brought there after getting her tail tightly entangled in a crab-trap line. She lived, but her tail fluke withered away, forcing the young animal to learn how to swim with just a stump and then adapt to a revolutionary prosthetic. Winter’s inspirational story of perseverance made her a global media star, quadrupled attendance at the aquarium and spawned a lucrative line of toys, books and other merchandise.

Now Winter is a movie star.

The charismatic animal plays herself in “Dolphin Tale,” a family-friendly 3-D movie starring Harry Connick Jr., Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd and Kris Kristofferson, opening Sept. 23. The production is based on Winter’s unlikely story of surviving the loss of her tail, then thriving and inspiring human visitors — including war veterans — who have lost limbs and are adapting to their own prosthetics.

The story got some fictional tweaks — a troubled boy (Nathan Gamble) who bonds with Winter was created as a central character who finds the gravely injured animal — but the movie sticks close to the real events surrounding the loss of Winter’s tail and her recovery at the aquarium. And in another twist on art imitating life, in the movie Winter’s presence helps save the modest marine rescue center from financial ruin. A big chunk of the film was shot at the facility last fall.

“Largely what you see with her rescue, her rehabilitation, the (prosthetic) tail being made, the fact it was filmed here and Winter stars as herself, it’s pretty much real life,” aquarium CEO David Yates says.

Connick, who plays a veterinarian and director of the marine rescue

hospital, says he didn’t find out the script was based on a true story until after he had read it.

“I thought it was somebody’s creative imagination at work,” he says. “I was just blown away. I couldn’t get over it, really, not only because of her survival and consequently thriving, but the advancements they made in human prosthetics because of it. I was just blown away that the whole thing was true.”

Winter wasn’t expected to survive when brought to the aquarium in December 2005 and was left with a rounded stump after losing her tail. A team of more than 150 volunteers and veterinarians spent more than four months nursing her back to health around the clock.

“When she arrived here we didn’t think she would make it through the night,” says trainer Abby Stone. “She was stressed, she was not physically doing well, she had been through a major ordeal. Most animals in that situation would not have made it.”

Winter learned how to swim without her tail — amazing her handlers with a unique combination of moves that resemble an alligator’s undulating swimming style and a shark’s side-to-side tail swipes. She uses her flippers, normally employed for steering and braking, to get moving.

The prosthetic tail — made of rubberized plastic and carbon fiber — is a wonder of modern science, with the developers, Hanger Orthopedic Group’s Dan Strzempka and Kevin Carroll, having to design the intricate tail fluke as well as figure out a way to keep the whole thing on her body. The solution was a sleeve created from a sticky gel composite that slips down onto her stump and creates suction when the prosthetic appendage is applied.

Since Hanger got involved, Strzempka has taken new amputees to see Winter at the aquarium. Interaction with her has been especially effective in coaxing children to wear their new prosthetics, which can feel strange and uncomfortable at first.

“It’s amazing to see the impact she has on people,” Strzempka said. “When we first got into this, we thought we could help this dolphin. She’s helped us 20

times more than we could ever help her.”

Winter wears the new tail only a half hour at a time, three or four times during the day, as her handlers continue to get her used to it and give her spine a break from the strain of the side-to-side swimming. She is trained to follow commands and patiently allows the prosthetic to be put on and taken off in front of adoring crowds.

Director Charles Martin Smith says Winter was so social and animated that capturing her engaging behaviors on film was relatively easy. She enjoys human contact, which he says opened up a lot of possibilities for filming people in the water with her.

“I spent those first three days just walking around and learning about her,” Smith says. “She likes to carry toys around on her (nose), so I wrote that into the movie. She has a blue mattress that she likes to jump up on and float around on like a little kid, so I put that in the movie. She has this signature sound that she makes that they call a ‘tweety bird’ — like a

little high-pitched bird trill — so I wrote that into the movie.”

Winter captivated everyone, including Freeman. The veteran

actor plays the specialist who takes on the challenge of designing the new appendage for the tailless animal. Freeman had never even been near a dolphin before.

“Playing the doctor who was going to create the prosthesis for her, I had a lot of hands-on time with her,” Freeman said. “I remember one day early on when I felt we needed to get to know each other a little bit, so I coaxed her up to get some fish and keep her nearby where I could pet her and talk to her a little bit.”

The aquarium got a significant expansion thanks to the movie, after Smith decided he needed a nicer pool to film some of the water scenes. The other concrete tanks were left over from the aquarium’s previous life treating the city’s sewage. Yates says a second aquarium building is opening in downtown Clearwater that will display the movie props.

“It was like a dream come true getting her story out there, because she has such an amazing story,” says Stone, the trainer. “It was like the best thing that could ever happen to this facility.”

Suddenly fishing has improved from one side of the county to the other. In Walton County, many redfish are being caught in Hogtown Bayou. If you have never been to Hogtown it is and old cracker settlement just north of Santa Rosa just west of U.S. 331 north.

When you approach the bayou and before you cross the bridge you will turn left

and there is a boat ramp. Also situated there is a pretty park with tables to picnic and bathroom facilities.

Usually the bayou is full of menhaden but lately a guide I know said that white shrimp are mixed in with them. He said find the white shrimp and you will find the speckled trout and redfish. He said to watch for the birds diving and this time of the year they might be after shrimp.

A fisherman in the pass reportedly caught more than 30 flounder last week before the weather became rough. According to my calendar, September is a little early for flounder to be heading to the Gulf; October usually is the month to look for these fish.

I was talking with guide Capt. Greg Burnet on the guide boat “Osprey” and he said a couple of his clients had a ball catching skipjacks in the Gulf before the storm last week. Most of the time fishermen will turn up their noses at skipjacks. Capt. Greg said as they were returning from a redfish trip and he saw what he thought were bonito striking on the surface. He told one of his clients to pitch a topwater lure to the frenzy and before he could get a turn on the reel his line was peeling off at a furious rate.

Not knowing what this fisherman had he told the other client to do the same with another rod also equipped with a topwater lure. This immediately drew another strike and another line-burning run. Neither fish jumped, they just see-sawed back and forth until Capt. Greg saw the first fish hooked and he could not believe his eyes. When they got both fish in the boat they weighed in two skipjacks at 9 and 10 pounds, respectively. Could you imagine catching these fish on a fly rod?

Commission

For years fisheries biologists in several states watched the eastward expansion of flathead catfish popula-tions from their native waters of the Midwest.

Now that the species has found its way to most of the rivers of the Florida panhandle, they are here at a price.

That’s the view of Dan Dobbins, a fisheries biologist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Com-mission (FWC).

Dobbins retires at the end of the month but he’s spent much of his 35-year career studying the effects of flatheads on native fish species in the Ochlockonee River and other rivers west to the Alabama line.

“The first thing you have to under-stand about flatheads is the fact they are an opportunistic predator. They become predatory at a very small size and they eat what’s easy to get, what’s available,” he said. “They eat whatever occupies the same ‘niche’ or place they occupy.”

Dobbins said several native spe-cies are heavily impacted by flat-heads, including bullheads, which comprises several species of small catfish, white catfish and redbreast sunfish, commonly called river bream by anglers.

Although flatheads will certainly eat channel catfish, which are highly prized as a food fish, he said channel catfish numbers don’t seem to be im-pacted as much as the other species.

From 2002-’05 Dobbins said fresh-water fisheries staff tried to reduce

the number of flatheads in a 7 ½-mile section of the Yellow River below Interstate 10 using electroshocking boats.

“We went multiple times a year and removed every flathead we saw. We did well the first couple of years, re-moving 20-30 fish, but then it jumped to 240 fish,” he said. “We realized that we couldn’t keep up. Reproduction outside the area we worked was such that there was a constant supply of fish.”

Similarly on the Choctawhatchee River, Dobbins said staff has done baseline sampling work over the years looking at what species are present and their abundance.

He said in 2002 they found only a few flatheads in the upper river near the Alabama line, which were collect-ed and removed.

By 2004 they were picking up flat-heads all the way down to Highway 20.

In their most recent surveys com-pleted this year, he said bullheads

and white catfish have virtually disap-peared from the upper river while the flathead population has exploded.

“Flatheads are now the predomi-nant catfish species in the river,” he said.

Like them or not, Dobbins said flat-heads are here to stay.

He said several civic organizations in towns along the Apalachicola Riv-er now hold annual flathead catfish tournaments.

The tournaments draw anglers and their money from north Florida, south Alabama and Georgia mostly.

While native catfish are typically caught on earthworms or “stink baits”, that’s not the case with flatheads.

Serious flathead anglers use stout tackle and small bluegills or shell-cracker for bait and they fish the deeper holes after sundown.

As a non-native fish, Dobbins said the standing advice for anglers is to keep any flatheads they catch and never move or release any unwanted fish.

Fisheries biologist Andy Strickland shocked this flathead in the Apalachicola River.

Flatheads taking over“The first thing you have to understand about flatheads is the fact they are an opportunistic

predator. They become predatory at a very small size and they eat what’s easy to get, what’s available. They eat whatever occupies the same

‘niche’ or place they occupy.”

TALLAHASSEE (AP) — Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher is counting on a bad experience leading to a good one for his fifth-ranked Seminoles.

Florida State (2-0) is hosting top-ranked Oklahoma on Satur-day night with the memory of last season’s embarrassing 47-17 loss

to the Sooners still fresh.Fisher says the biggest im-

provement that his team has made since last year’s meeting with the Sooners is maturity along with the knowledge of what it takes to beat a team such as Oklahoma.

It’s the first real test of the sea-

son for the Seminoles, who have outscored two inferior opponents by a combined 96-10.

The same can be said for Okla-homa (1-0) which opened its sea-son with a 47-14 win over Tulsa on Sept. 3. The Sooners had an open date last weekend.

ST. PETERSBURG (AP) — James Shields and the Tam-pa Bay Rays got the sweep they needed to charge back into the playoff race.

Shields came within two outs of his 12th complete game this season, B.J. Up-ton hit his first grand slam and the Rays routed the fad-ing Boston Red Sox 9-1 on Sunday.

Tampa Bay moved within 3½ games of the AL wild card leaders, sweeping the three-game series to go a season-high 17 games over .500 at 81-64. The Rays have won 21 games in a row when scoring five runs or more.

“We needed to win these,” manager Joe Maddon said. “There’s no other way to look at it. Under the circumstanc-es, you’ve got to do what we did or it’s pretty much almost impossible to recover. Our guys believe we can do this. It’s truly not impossible.”

Tampa Bay was 10 games behind the New York Yankees in the wild-card standings on Aug. 7.

Boston has lost five con-secutive games, its longest skid since opening the sea-son 0-6, and nine of 11 over-all. The teams play each other four more times, in a four-game series beginning Thursday night at Fenway Park.

“We’re kind of in a fight right now, we know that,” Red Sox manager Terry Franco-na said about his team’s re-cent play. “It’s not real pretty. We’ll come out and fight, and hopefully play better. I al-ways feel like we’re going to play well and when we don’t, we’re going to fix it. I still feel that way.”

Shields (15-10), who has won four consecutive starts en route to his career-best 15th win, allowed seven hits over 8 1-3 innings. Coming off a 5-1 complete-game victory over Texas last Monday, the right-hander was replaced by Dane De La Rosa after issuing a one-out walk in the ninth on his 121st pitch.

“We’re back in the hunt,” Shields said. “They know that we’re right behind them.”

The Rays went up 8-1 on Upton’s 20th homer in the fifth off Matt Albers.

Upton finished with four hits and walked once. He and his brother Justin of the Ari-zona Diamondbacks became the first set of siblings in major league history to both have 20 homers and 20 stolen bases in the same season.

“Couldn’t ask for a better day,” B.J. Upton said.

Jon Lester (15-7) gave up four runs and eight hits over four innings for the Red Sox. Boston starting pitchers have gone five innings or less in nine of the last 11 games.

Boston is off Monday, while Tampa Bay will begin an 11-game road trip at Balti-more. Rays right-hander Jeff Niemann (9-7) will go against left-hander Zach Britton (9-9).

“I don’t think there will be a letdown,” Niemann said. “I think everyone knows what our goal is here. Take care of business. ... We have to win.”

The Red Sox did get some encouraging news: Francona said Josh Beckett, out with a sprained right ankle, is scheduled to throw off a bull-pen mound Monday.

After loading the bases with no outs in the first, Tam-pa Bay took a 2-0 lead on Ben Zobrist’s two-run single off Lester. Sean Rodriguez made it 3-0 later in the inning with a sacrifice fly.

Lester had allowed one earned run or less in his pre-vious five starts, going 4-0 during that stretch. The left-hander threw 43 pitches in the first and 111 overall.

Rodriguez put the Rays up 4-1 with an RBI double in the third.

Marco Scutaro got the Red Sox within 3-1 on a third-in-ning homer. It stopped a per-sonal stretch of 161 at-bats without a home run, dating to July 15 against Tampa Bay.

Shields worked out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam lat-er in the third when David Or-tiz flied out and Josh Reddick was retired on a foul pop.

The Red Sox had two on and one out in the second, but Jason Varitek hit a double-play grounder.

Boston’s Jacoby Ellsbury, who turned 28 on Sunday, ex-tended his hitting streak to 16 games with a fifth-inning single.

By Tom McLaughlinFlorida Freedom Newspapers

SHALIMAR — In the end, the cold hard truth that teenager Chris Pitcock had been murdered outweighed all the passion and argu-ment presented on Johna-than Louviere’s behalf at a Monday sentencing hearing.

Louviere, 17, who in Feb-ruary pleaded no contest to second-degree murder as an accessory to the March 2010 killing of Pitcock, was sentenced to 183.7 months, or just over 15 years, in prison.

The sentence is a mini-mum guideline sentence and was the one recom-mended by Assistant State Attorney Angela Mason, who, with Louviere’s even-tual cooperation, success-fully prosecuted three teens for the killing of Pitcock.

Tyree Washington and Kyle Walling have both been sentenced to life in prison without parole for their roles in the Pitcock murder.

Preston Chavers, who

will be sentenced next month, must also, under the law, be sentenced to life without parole.

Bruce Miller, Louviere’s attorney, told Circuit Court Judge William Stone that his client’s age and degree of participation in the crime were among several fac-tors that required the judge to depart from sentencing guidelines and reduce the recommended sentence.

“This should not be a difficult procedure. Justice demands there be a down-ward departure,” he said.

Pitcock was killed af-ter he agreed to meet Washington, his friend and schoolmate, to sell him some marijuana.

Washington and Chav-ers met Pitcock with a plan, hatched that afternoon at the food court in Santa Rosa Mall, to rob him at gunpoint.

Pitcock died of a bullet wound to the side. Chav-ers was alleged to be the gunman.

Louviere was not at the mall or at the scene of the shooting. He arrived at Washington’s backyard shortly before Washington and Chavers left to commit the robbery.

Washington borrowed Louviere’s gloves and used his cellphone to call Pit-

cock to finalize details of their meeting.

Miller called on Louvi-ere’s mother, Cathy Hoff-man, to testify that her son, 16 at the time of the murder, was less mature than others his age and “a follower.”

Miller also pointed out that Louviere joined the three teens convicted in the Pitcock killing after they had already planned and begun executing their scheme to rob Pitcock of marijuana.

“This freight train had left the station at the mall,” Miller said. “And it wasn’t going to stop whether or not Johnathan showed up.”

Miller criticized the evi-dence the State Attorney’s Office used to link Louviere to the crime: The borrowed gloves and cellphone.

He argued that his client did not know why the gloves or cellphone were being bor-rowed and that there were plenty of plausible explana-tions for Louviere lending them to Washington.

But, he said, because the charge Louviere origi-nally faced, felony murder, carries a state guideline of life without parole as the sentence, the price for a guilty verdict was too high to risk going to trial.

Mason, who presented

the victim’s father, David Pitcock, and a family friend as witnesses, argued that Louviere had become a participant in the crime when he lent Washington his property.

“The problem for this defendant was that he agreed to get on the train,” she said.

Stone said in announcing the sentence that he had to take into account the seri-ousness of the crime com-mitted in deciding whether or not to depart from state guidelines.

“I’m just not able to say I find a departure is appro-priate,” he said. “I believe I should take into consider-ation the seriousness of the crime.”

David Pitcock, who cried openly as he addressed Louviere from the witness stand, told him that he hopes he spends his time in prison reflecting on the pain he had inflicted upon the Pitcock family.

“I don’t know how to take this, four of his friends, four of his friends, took his life for nothing,” Pitcock said. “What you did was terrible. You need to stop and think what you did. And you bet-ter pray that man up there lets you into heaven when you die, because it’s hot down there.”

Fashion world marks Sept. 11; show goes on

TOP: The EDUN Spring 2012 collection is modeled Sunday, Sept. 11, during Fashion Week in New York. AbOVe rigHT: Charlotte Ronson Spring 2012 collection modeled during Fashion Week in New York. LefT, Charlotte Ronson shows the Charlotte Ronson Spring 2012 collection modeled during Fashion Week in New York.

in a range of whites, from silvery to bright.

A diamond print was featured on slouch trousers paired with a matching halter. The print was carried over to several other looks, including a silk scarfdress with matching jersey leggings.

Organic white mesh for a jumpsuit had shorts laser cut in a fluttery petal shape. That detailing, along with the round metal trim, were all over the runway in short dresses, loose shorts, halter tops and trousers.

The company, founded in 2005, produces some of its clothes in Africa. With the help of artisan nuns in Kenya known as the “crochet sisters,” the line includes their black, hand-knotted skirt and fitted dress trimmed in leather.

Hewson said in an interview before the show that Edun’s latest collection is “kind of innocent but tough” as she tries to bring an “ethical” and steady, sustainable manufacturing industry to Africa.

CHArLOTTe rONSONRonson gave her youthful customer a bit

of a history lesson.She drew references from the Victorian

era, including a tan suede jacket with an asymmetrical front and high neck; the 1920s, dropped-waist dresses; and the “restless grunge decade” of the ‘90s — that’s where the denim fit in.

“There is a minimalist pulled back feeling to the collection, a dreamy airy lightness, punched up with vivid hues of molten lava, faded chambray, crisp whites and electric neons,” said Ronson in her notes.

“Denim is treated in a new way, we color block, patchwork, bleach bandanna motifs on chambray and use an array of denim hues to create a water-colored plaid print.”

She hit some of the season’s main themes and successfully tweaked them for her trend-conscious fan. She had the floral halter-neck, button-down top blending tangerine, yellow and black on white, and the cropped crocheted top paired with a maxi skirt.

NeW YOrK (AP) — The fashion world stood still when the World Trade Center towers came down in the middle of New York Fashion Week a decade ago, but the shows went on at the anniversary with moments of reflection and remembrance.

“On a day like this, we’re all American,” U2’s Bono said Sunday after the spring preview for Edun, the African-inspired brand he founded with his wife, Ali Hewson.

In an intimate hall at the New York Public Library’s flagship, guests at Victoria Beckham’s show twice stopped in their tracks on the way to their seats for moments of silence — one for each tower — as scheduled by the designer.

All Fashion Week events are proceeding as planned through Thursday, in contrast to the jarring halt of the September previews after the terrorist attacks, said Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Lincoln Center’s fashion director.

On the front row at Lela Rose, she described the conflicting mood on the tragedy’s anniversary: “Today is a day that is very exciting, but there is also a certain calmness, you know? Everyone can sort of just look at each other today and know exactly what each other is thinking.”

The Lela Rose runway stayed dark as John Lennon’s “Imagine” played before the show, with the crowd joining in.

Oscar de la Renta said he watched the anniversary unfold on TV in the morning before heading to the Lincoln Center tents. “I was in tears. But I say this country is about the rebirth, all over again. It’s like the phoenix bird reborn from its ashes.”

Linda Fargo, senior vice president of fashion at Bergdorf Goodman, wore a patriotic blue blouse and red trousers on the Beckham front row. “I didn’t expect to be so emotional today, but I am.”

Designer Tracy Reese had been scheduled for her first New York Fashion Week show on Sept. 11, 2001, and is proud to mark the anniversary at the tents on the same date this year. “At the end of the day, New York is unlike any other city

in the world. Everyone worked together to pick

ourselves back up.”Several designers

said they’ve made donations to various organizations in

memory of the dead, including Derek Lam to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, and Donna Karan to Action America, an initiative to turn Sept. 11 into a day of positive action and volunteerism.

“We remember that day 10 years ago that changed our city forever,”

Karan said in her show notes. “We remember the courage, the inspiration, the compassion. How we came together, reaffirming our strength to the world.

There truly is no place anywhere like our

beloved city, New York. Our inspiration.”

After eight days of spring previews in New

York, shows move to London, then Milan and Paris.

ViCTOriA beCKHAmHer crisp, clean and sophisticated

collection showed off her skills as a dressmaker.

Beckham added several outerwear pieces to the repertoire — including hooded satin jackets — but she mostly stepped back from the looser silhouette that she experimented with last season.

Even the dresses with pleated skirts were built with tight bodices.

Beckham has made her hallmark out of well-cut geometric clothes, and it’s OK for her to stick with it. It’s the style that suits her best, anyway, as she showed off her post-baby figure in a zip-back shift while she took it all in from the front row.

In recent seasons, Beckham narrated from a perch next to the runway in an intimate townhouse venue. On Sunday, however, she was quiet in the library’s long, narrow Astor Hall.

DVfDiane von Furstenberg’s spring

collection, dubbed “Beginnings,” seemed more about renewal.

The looks were fresh and breezy, but not overly frilly or frivolous.

“The light appears and changes everything,” she said in notes for guests that included Oscar de la Renta and Valentino.

Von Furstenberg was faced with a challenge from the start. As president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, she helps set the international calendar of style previews. New York’s spring shows are always the second week of September, therefore always crossing Sept. 11.

This year, on the milestone 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, it fell on the day of von Furstenberg’s usual time slot.

She couldn’t really change it, nor did she want to, she said in an interview earlier this week, but she had to acknowledge it, too. She found the appropriate balance by handing out American flags to the front row as she took her bow — hand in hand with creative director Yvan Mispelaere.

DereK LAmLam is dumping a new daytime

wardrobe of elegant, unfussy pieces in his lady’s lap.

Special to Extra

This is the text of President Barack Obama’s speech at the Kennedy Center commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, as delivered:

The Bible tells us, “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

Ten years ago, America confronted one of our darkest nights. Mighty towers crumbled. Black smoke billowed up from the Pentagon. Airplane wreckage smoldered on a Pennsylvania field. Friends and neighbors, sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters — they were taken from us with heartbreaking swiftness and cruelty. On September 12, 2001, we awoke to a world in which evil was closer at hand, and uncertainty clouded our future.

In the decade since, much has changed for Americans. We’ve known war and recession, passionate debates and political divides. We can never get back the lives that were lost on that day, or the Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed.

And yet today, it is worth remembering what has not changed. Our character as a nation has not changed. Our faith — in God and each other — that has not changed. Our belief in America, born of a timeless ideal that men and women should govern themselves; that all people are created equal, and deserve the same freedom to determine their own destiny — that belief, through tests and trials, has only been strengthened.

These past 10 years have shown that America does not give in to fear. The rescue workers who rushed to the scene; the firefighters who charged up the stairs; the passengers who stormed the cockpit — these patriots defined the very nature of courage. Over the years we have also seen a more quiet form of heroism — in the ladder company that lost so many men and still suits up and saves lives every day; the businesses that have rebuilt from nothing; the burn victim who has bounced back; the families that press on.

Last spring, I received a letter from a woman named Suzanne Swaine. She had lost her husband and brother in the Twin Towers, and said that she had been robbed of “so many would-be proud moments where a father watches their child graduate, or tend goal in a lacrosse game, or succeed academically.” But her daughters are in college, the other doing well in high school. “It

has been 10 years of raising these girls on my own,” Suzanne wrote. “I could not be prouder of their strength and resilience.” That spirit typifies our American family. And the hopeful future for those girls is the ultimate rebuke to the hateful killers who took the life of their father.

These past ten years have shown America’s resolve to defend its citizens, and our way of life. Diplomats serve in far-off posts, and intelligence professionals work tirelessly without recognition. Two million Americans have gone to war since 9/11. They have demonstrated that those who do us harm cannot hide from the reach of justice, anywhere in the world. America has been defended not by conscripts, but by citizens who choose to serve — young people who signed up straight out of high school; guardsmen and reservists; workers and businesspeople; immigrants and fourth-generation soldiers. They are men and women who left behind lives of comfort for two, three, four or five tours of duty. Too many will never come home. Those that do carry dark memories from distant places, and the legacy of fallen friends.

The sacrifices of these men and women, and of our military families, remind us that the wages of war are great; that while service to our nation is full of glory, war itself is never glorious. Our troops have been to lands unknown to many Americans a decade ago — to Kandahar and Kabul, to Mosul and Basra. But our strength is not measured in our ability to stay in these places; it comes from our commitment to leave those lands to free people and sovereign states, and our desire to move from a decade of war to a future of peace.

These 10 years have shown that we hold fast to our freedoms. Yes, we are more vigilant against those who threaten us, and there are inconveniences that come with our common defense. Debates — about war and peace, about security and civil liberties — have often been fierce these last 10 years. But it is precisely the rigor of these debates, and our ability to resolve them in a way that honors our values and our democracy, that is a measure of our strength. Meanwhile, our open markets still provide innovators with the chance to create, our citizens are still free to speak their minds, and our souls are still enriched in churches and temples, our synagogues and mosques.

These past 10 years underscore the bonds between all Americans. We have not succumbed to suspicion and we have not succumbed to mistrust. After 9/11, to his great credit, President Bush made clear what we

reaffirm today: The United States will never wage war against Islam or any religion. Immigrants come here from all parts of the globe. In the biggest cities and the smallest towns, in schools and workplaces, you still see people of every conceivable race, religion and ethnicity — all of them pledging allegiance to the flag, all of them reaching for the same American dream — e pluribus unum, out of many, we are one.

These past 10 years tell a story of our resilience. The Pentagon is repaired, filled with patriots working in common purpose. Shanksville is the scene of friendships forged between residents of that town, and families who lost loved ones there. New York remains the most vibrant of capitals of arts and industry, fashion and commerce. Where the World Trade Center once stood, the sun glistens off a new tower that reaches toward the sky. Our people still work in skyscrapers. Our stadiums are filled with fans, and our parks full of children playing ball. Our airports hum with travel, and our buses and subways take millions where they need to go. Families sit down to Sunday dinner, and students prepare for school. This land pulses with the optimism of those who set out for distant shores, and the courage of those who died for human freedom.

Decades from now, Americans will visit the memorials to those who were lost on 9/11. They will run their fingers over the places where the names of those we loved are carved into marble and stone, and they may wonder at the lives they led. Standing before the white headstones in Arlington, and in peaceful cemeteries and small-town squares in every corner of our country, they will pay respects to those lost in Afghanistan and Iraq. They will see the names of the fallen on bridges and statues, at gardens and schools.

And they will know that nothing can break the will of a truly United States of America. They will remember that we have overcome slavery and Civil War; we’ve overcome bread lines and fascism; recession and riots; Communism and, yes, terrorism. They will be reminded that we are not perfect, but our democracy is durable, and that democracy — reflecting, as it does, the imperfections of man — also gives us the opportunity to perfect our union. That is what we honor on days of national commemoration — those aspects of the American experience that are enduring, and the determination to move forward as one people.

Strong bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles are vital to healthy move-ment and a healthy life-style in animals.

Now, when these func-tions go awry in a pet due to unhealthy habits or un-fortunate circumstances, a pet’s quality of life can still be sustained due to the modern day proce-dures of orthopedics in veterinary medicine.

Dr. Sharon Kerwin, professor at the Texas A&M College of Veteri-nary Medicine & Biomedi-cal Sciences (CVM) and a specialist in orthopedics and neurosurgery, says that orthopedics is the treatment or prevention of conditions affecting the bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles.

Kerwin notes that or-thopedic procedures in animals are much more advanced than most peo-ple are aware of.

“We perform many of the same types of proce-dures that are available for treatment of similar problems in humans, with the goal of getting the in-jured animal back to nor-

mal activities as quickly and comfortably as pos-sible,” Kerwin explains. “Advances in anesthesia, implant technology, pain control, and physical reha-bilitation have made this a great time to access top quality care for animals with injury or disease of the bones and joints.”

Kerwin says that two of the most common prob-lems she sees in dogs and cats are cranial cruciate ligament disease (similar to an ACL tear in humans) and hip dysplasia.

Twenty years ago, af-fected patients of these problems would have re-sulted in cases of crippling osteoarthritis.

Fortunately, with to-day’s modern convenienc-es and knowledgeable specialists, these patients may enjoy full recoveries.

The Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH) at the CVM is trained and equipped to cover ortho-pedic problems in many different species.

“On the large animal side, there is an active sports medicine, lame-ness, and trauma service

that provides arthroscopy (minimally invasive sur-gery using an arthroscope to treat damage in the interior of the joint) and fracture repair for horses and other large animal species,” Kerwin explains. “Our exotic and zoo animal service often sees birds, pocket pets, and exotic an-imals with bone and joint problems, many of which can be treated successful-ly. While dogs traditionally have been more common patients than cats, we are beginning to discover that orthopedic disease, par-ticularly osteoarthritis, is emerging as a major health problem for cats over 10 years of age.”

Orthopedic diseases have not yet been con-firmed to be related to just hereditary or environmen-tal conditions.

A lot of research has been targeted toward the inherited basis of the more common orthopedic diseases.

Kerwin suggests that orthopedic problems can spur from both aspects.

“There is definitely a hereditary basis for hip

dysplasia, with multiple genes involved.” Ker-win says. “Environment plays a big role as well, with diet and exercise as key factors involved in the development of signs of problems in affected animals. Certain types of problems are more likely to occur in certain breeds of dogs and cats. For ex-ample, the Scottish Fold breed of cat is predis-posed to the development of osteoarthritis.”

Preventative measures are always important for owners to keep in mind, and there are many pre-ventative measures that may help alleviate future orthopedic diseases.

Kerwin suggests that the best thing you can do to prevent many diseases is to keep your pet healthy and in-shape.

This will not only help to ease orthopedic dis-eases, but it will help in all aspects of your pet’s livelihood.

Kerwin explains that “research in dogs indi-cates that dogs kept in an appropriate body condi-tion will live two years lon-

ger than their overweight counterparts, which is a very long time in dog years. In addition, their risk for osteoarthritis is much lower.”

Kerwin also points out the necessary environ-mental precautions that an owner can take on a day-to-day basis, such as allowing your “trained” dog to ride in the back of the truck may result in a tragic accident or even death.

Always keep your pet on a leash in an unfamiliar environment to keep them out of harm’s way.

If you have a house cat, ensure that all of the furni-ture is secured to the wall and will not fall in case your cat likes to explore.

Kerwin is enthusiastic about where veterinary orthopedics has come, but she also understands what is possible in the future and that there are a couple of challenges to face.

“Although this is a great time for veterinary ortho-pedics, we have a lot of work left to do,” Kerwin says. “Educating pet own-ers regarding prevention

of orthopedic disease is very important and an ongoing challenge. In ad-dition, orthopedic treat-ments can be very expen-sive, and we would like to explore ways to provide the best care possible in the most cost-effective way to reach the largest num-ber of pets. Further work is needed, particularly in cats, regarding causes of orthopedic diseases and preventive strategies. For dogs, better outcome as-sessments are needed to help decide which treat-ments are best, just as in people.”

The VMTH at the CVM is always eager to help educate pet owners and work with pets affected by orthopedic diseases.

Saturday, Sept. 3, Partners For Pets, a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter at 4011 Maintenance Drive, Marianna, presented Suzanne Speed of Albany, Ga., with a quilt she had won in their raffle. Speed had adopted one of our favorite shelter dogs, Jake, in March. Jake was a very shy dog and had been at the shelter for more than two years. Speed had driven to Marianna to adopt another dog, but when she heard Jake’s story, she decided to take a chance on him. Jake had heartworms, but due to Speed’s care and costly treatment, Jake is on his way to living a long and happy life. The shelter will be raffling off a saddle and television at the end of this month. Tickets remain available.

Are there worries or concerns in our life that are making us tense? If so, we should release them into God’s are and let Him handle them. Imagine that our cares are like helium balloons which we are struggling to hold onto. Just let go of them and let them rise up to heaven and go out of sight. Trust God to take care of them. Now of course, there may be some things which we have to do ourselves in order to fulfill an obligation, but even then, we don’t need to worry about such things.

Just do it and be done with it. Also, we should realize that God may not handle the worry or con-cern in the way that we thought He would. Again, we don’t need to worry about this. We have to learn to let go of our cares and concerns and literally release them into God’s hands. Most of the things we worry about are illusory in the first place, i.e., they are things we really can’t control anyway. So, we should stop worrying, and fix or change the things in our life that we can change, and give the rest of them to God. He can handle them.

Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad.

Ways to follow God’s will Recently, I was

in the hospital and then enforced bed rest. I used a part of that time to explore living out God’s will for my life.

Being a nerd by inclination, I wanted to know how to know what that will was. So Scriptures in hand, I began to explore that topic. And though I am sure any of our local faith leaders or even Sunday school teachers could do a better job, here is what I came up with.

First rule: God is unchangeable. His will for us is unchanging in the long term — love Him, accept His Son. It only seems to change for two reasons: It is a living, daily will, and we often do not do what we should, leading us to have to work our way back to the starting point.

Second rule: Love God. We are to be passionately in love with the God of our creation and salvation. Any thought we have about service or following His will needs to be carefully measured against an unbending love of God and His commandments. Among those commandments, of course, are the 10 given Moses at Sinai. But there is also those highlighted by Jesus: Love your neighbor as yourself and love the Lord God with

all your mind and strength.

Third rule: Seek His will. How can you possibly know what to do without considering the options? It’s not so much that

finding God’s will is difficult (though it can be, particularly if you approach finding God’s will the wrong way) as it is that God wants us to determine His call on our lives from a perspective of worshipful obedience. To do that, we have to actively look rather than take an attitude of, “OK, Lord, what do you want me to do now?” You seek Him out by consulting His Word — prayerfully.

That brings me to the fourth rule: Pray about it. You cannot get an answer without an earnest questioning. And you cannot earnestly question without prayer. So you need to purify yourself spiritually and talk to the Creator.

Will He answer? He has promised He will. And I believe He will answer you. In fact, I pray He will show you His will and help you accept the task(s) He has for you.

Have a great week. And please do me the favor of letting me know if this has helped you in your walk with Him. I love hearing about His victories (and ours through Him).

Hurricane-ready: coming to FloridaAs a young man, I never

understood why people came to Florida for their vacations. I had spent most of my life either in the city of Chicago or in the mountains of North Georgia. Things have changed since those days, for now I have lived here in the Panhandle for almost fourteen years and it seems like home. I now know that it is a popular vacation spot because of the beautiful beaches, amusement parks, and the weather is hot and beautiful most of the year. But I also have learned some other things about Florida. Have you heard the old saying “you’ve got a better chance of getting struck by lightning than. . . .”. Well in Florida you do have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than anywhere else in the world. And not only does Florida see more lightning than anywhere else in the world, after you’ve lived here any length of time you soon learn to be prepared for the weather to change throughout the day. It can be sunny when you go in a building, and raining when you come out ten minutes later, or visa versa. And when it’s hurricane season you begin to count the days until it’s over, this is true. There is even a sign in Tallahassee on the highway that keeps track of the days until hurricane season is over, like the one in Atlanta that counts the days until Christmas.

As I’m writing, hurricanes Irene and Lee have spared us, and others are following close behind. We count our blessings as one passes over us with very little damage and check on one another and send help to those who were less fortunate. All the while, realizing we tried to be prepared for the worst never knowing exactly what danger we may experience. We are

then thankful after it’s all over and wonder if we were as prepared as we should have been. The beautiful thing about hurricanes is that they are somewhat predictable with all

this new weather technology we have today. Often we are given up to a week of warning before they visit. Tornados, earthquakes, floods and fires are not that polite. The sad and ugly part of a hurricane is that so many people fail to heed the warning, thinking they have a better plan and then the tragedy becomes fatal.

One of the interesting things about hurricane preparation is, as Judy has to remind me often, as I complain about the money we are spending to be prepared, most of it is for things that we use everyday anyway. So there is really no great loss if the hurricane changes its course and decides not to pay us a visit. But you know there are always those who do not prepare for the one that is coming, because the one before missed us or it wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be.

Since Christ arose from the grave and ascended into the heavens, followers of Christ have been sharing the message of the love that God has for all people and that He sent His son, Jesus Christ to die for their sins on the cruel Roman cross. This message of love also comes with a warning that Christ will return for His Bride, the Church. Once we have left the Bible teaches that this world and those left will experience the wrath of God. The sad part of this warning is that so many have heard it many times and no longer take it serious. Others have come to the conclusion that they can handle it, because it probably will not be as bad as they say anyway. Something they don’t take into consideration is

that after He takes His church out, those who normally do most of the volunteer recovery work will not be here nor will the Lord’s grace be present as it was before. If the truth is known, we have probably not delivered a true understanding of how bad this world will be when God releases His wrath upon it.

From one friend to another, please heed the warning; receive Christ today as your Lord and Savior, while there is time. Whether He returns today, next week, next year, or ten years from now, when you experience the peace that comes with being ready, you will wonder why you waited so long. For “the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night” (2 Peter 3:10 NKJV). But if we are prepared we are looking forward to a new heaven and new earth that the Lord is preparing where there will be no sin, separation, disappointment or death (2 Peter 3:11-13). Romans 10:9-13 promises that God is waiting to hear your prayer of repentance, which will prepare you for that day. Please prepare today by repenting of your sins and giving your life to Him.

Faith BRIEFS

Wednesday, September 14, 2011 Page 4

More than monuments, that will be the legacy of 9/11 — a legacy of firefighters who walked into fire and soldiers who signed up to serve; of workers who raised new towers, of citizens who faced down fear, most of all of children who realized the

dreams of their parents. It will be said of us that we kept that faith; that we took a painful blow, and we emerged stronger than before.

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

With a just God as our guide, let us

honor those who have been lost, let us rededicate ourselves to the ideals that define our nation, and let us look to the future with hearts full of hope. May God bless the memory of those we lost, and may God bless the United States of America.
