One Text or Call Could Wreck It All Did you know that “distracted driving” was the 2009 word of the year according to Webster’s Dictionary? But unfortunately, this is no passing fad. Distracted driving has become a trend with deadly, real consequences. For anyone who thinks they can talk on their phone, text, apply make-up, or do any other distracting activity while driving, it’s time for a crash course in reality from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA): • In 2009, nearly 5,500 people were killed and a half million more were injured in distracted driving crashes. (NHTSA) • Drivers who use hand-held devices are four times as likely to be involved in a serious crash. (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) • Twenty percent of injury crashes in 2009 involved reports of distracted driving. (NHTSA) • Younger, inexperienced drivers under 20 years old have the highest proportion of distraction-related fatal crashes. (NHTSA) While those numbers may sound like just statistics, they’re anything but. They could be parents, children, neighbors and friends from right here in [Community]. There are too many sad tales of deaths and injuries that could have been prevented had drivers been paying attention to the road instead of someone or something else. So, why do so many people participate in this dangerous behavior? With more technology now than ever, driver distractions have risen to unprecedented levels. We live in a world where people expect instant, real-time information 24 hours a day, and those desires don’t stop just because they get behind the wheel. Drivers simply do not realize – or choose to ignore – the danger they create when they take their eyes off the road, their hands off the wheel, and their focus off driving. People often say, “I can do two things at once. I’ve memorized where the numbers are on my phone, so I don’t have to look.” Or, “Sending or reading one text is pretty quick – that should be okay.” They couldn’t be more wrong. For those who think they can do two things at once, think about this: According to a study by Carnegie Mellon, driving while using a cell phone reduces the amount of brain activity associated with driving by 37 percent. Can you really afford to lose that much brainpower? Driving is an activity that requires your full attention and focus in order to keep yourself and others safe. Yes, this is a national problem, but it also affects us right here in Bay County. No one is immune from the dangers of distracted driving. So please remember: …………..One text or call could wreck it all.

The Emerald Coast Corvette Club is located in Panama City, Florida, home of the World's Most Beautiful Beaches. Mailing address is P.O. Box 1013, Lynn Haven, FL 32444. The club holds regular monthly meetings at 6:30pm on the first Tuesday of each month. Meetings are at Holiday Inn Select, 2001 Martin Luther King Blvd., Panama City, Florida. We invite potential members to come to a meeting. For membership application, click here. We get together often for a cruise to a new restaurant or an event of interest. We do some road trips throughout the year. Whatever it takes to enjoy the camaraderie and our Vettes. History of Emerald Coast Corvette Club The club was founded by a small group of Corvette owners/lovers in 1996. The club was originally organized because there were no Corvette clubs in this area and a small group of owners wanted to get together and discuss Corvettes and take their Corvettes to car shows. Membership started out with 10 members the 1st year and then in 1997 started growing to about 50 members and holds around that number at this time. Membership goes up and down because we have several members that are in the military (Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard). Our beautiful area is blessed with a base for each of these branches of the Armed Forces. The first meetings of the club were at The Cheese Barn, then we moved to the Pizza Hut, then to Loco's, on to the Golden Coral, then to the Panama City Country Club, to Fire Mountain back to Golden Corral and currently at the Holiday Inn Select, 2001 Martin Luther King Blvd.. Over the years we have assisted other car clubs in sponsoring car shows to raise money for local charities. In 2001 we decided to do a Corvette only show. We called it The Corvette Beach Odyssey. We held three of these on the third weekend of September each year. In 2004 we were forced to postpone until October because of hurricanes. In 2005 we cancelled the show due the extensive damage in nearby areas from hurricane Katrina. We have not held the Corvette Beach Odyssey since. The club's main goal is to have fun with our Corvettes. Some have said the main thing we do is Cruise to Eat, and Eat to Cruise. The clubâ&#x20AC;&#x;s main charity is The Taunton Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x;s Home, located in Wewahitchka, Florida. We also support the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. Club Officers are elected each December. Daniel Whitman was our first/founding President. Starting the club was mainly his idea and we owe him a special thanks for his hard work in putting it all together along with Mark Pittman and a few others. http://emeraldcoastcorvetteclub.com/

...just one who had a dream as a Bay County School student… …..and her dream has come true….. Article by U.S. Army Spc. Amie J. McMillan

As an eighth grader, at Everitt Middle School, while most of my peers were still juggling the thoughts of their future career, I dreamed of becoming a published journalist. When I began my freshman year at Rutherford High School, I was made aware of a scholarship funded by the Bay Education Foundation. The catch? I had to write an essay explaining why I deserve the scholarship, as well as what degree I would pursue if I was awarded it. The essay was long by the time I finished writing about my aspirations of becoming a famous journalist one day. After what seemed like forever, I was informed I had been awarded the four-year scholarship. The news that I was actually going to be able to go to college made me that more focused in school. My sophomore year, I transferred to Bay High School where I took a creative writing course, as well as signed up to be part of the high school yearbook staff. After graduation in 2004, I enrolled into college at the Florida Community College at Jacksonville. Although school was going well, I felt a little empty like there was something else I was called to do. After careful and thorough research on different careers, I decided to join the United States Army. I guess it helped a little that I was in the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) while I was in high school. In August 2005, I enlisted as Private First Class Amie J. McMillan, with the career choice of Journalism. After completion of Basic Combat Training in October 2005 at Fort Jackson, S.C., I was sent to Fort Meade, Md. to begin the training for my career as an Army Public Affairs Specialist. In May 2006, I arrived at my first duty station in Fort Lewis, Wash., and in March 2008, I went on my first deployment to Iraq for 15 months.

In March 2010, I arrived at my new duty station in Fort Bragg, N.C., and in August 2010, I deployed for a 12-month tour to Baghdad, Iraq. While I was deployed, I was one of four media marketing coordinators in all of Iraq, as well as taking photographs and writing stories about our Servicemembers. Every day begins a new adventure, a new chapter in my life that began when I was only 13 years old. Looking back at my life so far, I don‟t regret a minute of it! As far as my career in the Army, I could not serve our country if weren‟t for the community support, and the support of my friends and family. Sincere gratitude to Terry and Leanne Tally (adopted Mom and Dad); Nevale Hill (mentor); Randy Jordan (BCSO Explorer leader in 2000); and Mrs. Karen Abrahams (mentor).

Spc. Amie J. McMillan is currently stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C., serving as a Public Affairs Specialist in the U.S. Army.

During my first deployment, I was able to report on a few of the many great things our Service members were doing to help the people of Iraq. I served as the only Public Affairs Specialist on my base – Camp Bucca. The stories I wrote were circulated throughout many different publications across the world, and my dream to become a published journalist, became a reality.

Florida SLAP distributor carries on family tradition Address: 2310 S. Hwy 77, Suite 110-201, Lynn Haven, FL - 32444 Phone: (850) 774-3186 About Florida SLAP distributor carries on family tradition:

Lee Ann Swartzentruber is carrying on a family tradition with Florida SLAP, a local distributor of Slap Ya Mama Cajun products. The company was created by her aunt and uncle, Jennifer and Tony Walker, of Walker & Sons Inc. The Walkers were looking for just the right high-quality mix to please their convenience store deli customers in Ville Platte, La., who wanted something a little less salty. So, they filled a pickle jar with salt, red and black pepper and garlic and then let their children, Jack and Joe, get into the mix by rolling it around on the floor. The original blend was introduced to the Walkers' customers in 1996 and demand quickly rose for the spice mix. It became incorporated in 2001 and turned into a brand. Slap Ya Mama is now sold throughout the U.S., as well as in Canada and the United Kingdom. But Swartzentruber is the only family distributor, bringing Slap Ya Mama to Northwest Florida with Florida SLAP. Swartzentruber was raised by her mother, Georgia, and Bob Walker in Meridian, Miss. Bob Walker, the middle of three Walker boys, with Tony being the youngest and Kenneth being the oldest, was the only family member to leave Louisiana. But Bob Walker brought the Cajun cooking and the language with him, teaching Swartzentruber a little Cajun French spoken by his mother and grandmother. From the age of 7, she grew up as part of the Walker family, eating Cajun cooking at family reunions and crawfish boils with up to 300,000 pounds of crawfish. Initially, she just gave the Slap Ya Mama products to friends as thank-you gifts and to initiate conversation with her job, but then found people were requesting it. Swartzentruber, her son, Reid Garrett, and her husband, Cecil, started by working booths at area festivals and farmers' markets. They have been to more than 30 events since October 2009, with 26 during 2010. Family friend Kayla Holder helps out during Thunder Beach, promoting the products while wearing chilipepper glasses. Florida SLAP supplies to more than 70 stores in Northwest Florida, from shops to grocery stores and seafood markets. Slap Ya Mama started out with the mild Original Blend Seasoning in the yellow can and has grown to include a medium White Pepper Blend Seasoning and spicy Hot Blend Seasoning, as well as Cajun Pepper Sauce, Seafood Boil, Cajun Fish Fry and Etouffee Sauce Meal Mix. Find Florida SLAP on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

Our Annual Appeal at Christmas raises much needed funds for the work we do among the needy over the holidays. This includes providing food, clothing and toys for families to enable them to experience the joy of the Christmas Season. But your gifts do not stop there. Funds not expended for Seasonal Assistance are used throughout the year to enable our charitable work to continue to those in need. Please contemplate two slogans we use frequently: "Need has no season" and "Sharing is Caring". Join with us in ministry to the less fortunate by mailing your monetary gift to the Panama City Salvation Army and contributing to the Red Kettles when you pass them in ffont of stores or the mall.

Origin of the Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Captain Joseph McFee had resolved in December of 1891 to provide a free Christmas dinner to the area's poor persons. But how would he pay for the food? As he went about his daily tasks, the question stayed in his mind. Suddenly, his thoughts went back to his days as a sailor in Liverpool, England. On the Stage Landing he saw a large pot, called "Simpson's Pot" into which charitable donations were thrown by passers-by. On the next morning, he secured permission from the authorities to place a similar pot at the Oakland ferry landing, at the foot of Market Street. No time was lost in securing the pot and placing it in a conspicuous position so that it could be seen by all those going to and from the ferry boats. In addition, a brass urn was placed on a stand in the waiting room for the same purpose. Thus, Captain Joseph McFee launched a tradition that has spread not only throughout the United States, but throughout the world. By Christmas, 1895, the kettle was used in 30 Salvation Army Corps in various sections of the West Coast area. The Sacramento Bee of that year carried a description of the Army's Christmas activities and mentioned the contributions to the street corner kettles. Shortly afterward, two young Salvation Army officers who had been instrumental in the original use of the kettle, William A. McIntyre and N.J. Lewis, were transferred to the East. They

took with them the idea of the Christmas kettle. In 1897, McIntyre prepared his Christmas plans for Boston around the kettle, but his fellow officers refused to cooperate for fear of "making spectacles of themselves." So McIntyre, his wife and his sister set up three kettles at the Washington Street thoroughfare in the heart of the city. That year the kettle effort in Boston and other locations nationwide resulted in 150,000 Christmas dinners for the needy. In 1898, the New York World hailed The Salvation Army kettles as "the newest and most novel device for collecting money." The newspaper also observed, "There is a man in charge to see that contributions are not stolen." In 1901, kettle contributions in New York City provided funds for the first mammoth sit-down dinner in Madison Square Garden, a custom that continued for many years. Today, however, families are given grocery checks so that they can buy and prepare their own dinners at home. The homeless poor are still invited to share holiday dinners and festivities at hundreds of Salvation Army centers. Kettles are now used in such distant lands as Korea, Japan, Chile, and in many European countries. Everywhere, public contributions to the kettles enable The Salvation Army to bring the spirit of Christmas to those who would otherwise be forgotten -- to the aged and lonely, the ill, the inmates of jails and other institutions, the poor and unfortunate. In the United States, The Salvation Army annually aids more than 4,500,000 persons at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Kettles have changed since the first utilitarian cauldron set up in San Francisco. Some of the new kettles have such devices as a self-ringing bell and a booth complete with public address system over which the traditional Christmas carols are broadcast. Behind it all, though, is the same Salvation Army message, "Sharing is Caring."

Volunteers needed Every Salvation Army service needs dependable volunteers to help with the fundraising efforts as well as programs. If you can share time to assist in these efforts, we encourage you to contact The Salvation

The Panhandle Chapter of the Florida Trail Association by Ron Peterson, Chair, Panhandle Chapter, Florida Trail Association Incorporated in 1964, the Florida Trail Association is a 501(c)3 nonprofit volunteer organization that builds, maintains, protects, and promotes the 1,400 mile Florida Trail, one of only eleven National Scenic Trails in the United States, in partnership with the USDA Forest Service. Our volunteers also build and maintain other trails on public land, that become part of the Florida Trail System. With 18 regional chapters across Florida, FTA provides recreational opportunities for hiking and camping, as well as educational opportunities to appreciate and conserve the natural beauty of Florida. One of these 18 Chapters is the Panhandle Chapter, organized in 1982. The Panhandle Chapter serves Bay, Calhoun, Holmes, Jackson, Washington, and Gulf Counties, and is responsible for that part of the Florida Trail lying between the Choctawhatchee and Apalachicola Rivers. The chapter‟s first major trail project, in the late 1980s, was construction of the Florida Trail through Pine Log State Forest, the oldest state forest in Florida. The Pine Log Section passes through the lovely Sand Pond Recreation Area, and includes a segment coinciding with the old Military Road, built in 1823. Beginning in the 1990s, the chapter built the popular section of Florida Trail that follows the wild and beautiful Econfina Creek that many find reminiscent of sections of the Appalachian Trail. The Econfina Section boasts blooming wild azalea and mountain laurel in the Spring, a rare 10-ft waterfall, and two amazing suspension bridges Two Penny Bridge and Fender Bridge - that attract hikers from all over northwest Florida. Panhandle Chapter meetings and activities are attended by outdoor enthusiasts of all ages. Meetings are held in Panama City Beach on the first Monday of each month. We meet at 6:30 pm at the Palms Conference Center of the Sleep Inn across from Zoo World. Activities, including hikes, paddle trips, and campouts, are organized at least once a month. Some of the most popular activities, featured annually, include the Econfina Flower Hike, the Moonlight Hike, the Hike to the Springs, and the Pine Log Gathering. Get the kids out from behind their electronic gadgets and into the woods to cure their “nature deficit disorder”. As for you adults that might be looking for exercise, you‟ll find that a walk on the remote and beautiful Florida Trail is far more interesting than that boring walk around the block. Learn more about the Florida Trail and the Panhandle Chapter at www.floridatrail.org or www.meetup.com/hiking-central-panhandle/ or call the Chapter Chairperson at 850 233 9351.
