Hello to you all. I think we made it out of the flooding stages

around here. If you need help contact the WCSO for further

assistance.

After my youngest daughter hurt herself playing basketball for the school

I have had much information to look over and thought I would share some with you.

Don’t take it lightly if your child has a leg pain or more. Some injuries can affect

them the rest of their lives.

Ligament injuries in the knee - such as an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) -- are

dreaded by professional and amateur athletes alike. They can be painful and debilitat-

ing. They can even permanently change your lifestyle.

But there's good news. While an ACL injury or other ligament damage once ended

the career of many an athlete, treatment is much more successful now.

So what's behind these feared injuries? Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that con-

nect the bones in your body. Two important ligaments in the knee, the ACL and pos-

terior cruciate ligament (PCL), connect the femur or thigh bone with the tibia, one of

the bones of the lower leg. But too much stress on these ligaments can cause them to

stretch too far -- or even snap.

ACL injury and other ligament injuries can be caused by:

Twisting your knee with the foot planted.

Getting hit on the knee.

Extending the knee too far.

Jumping and landing on a flexed knee.

Stopping suddenly when running.

Suddenly shifting weight from one leg to the other.

These injuries are common in soccer players, football players, basketball play-ers, skiers, gymnasts, and other athletes.

There are four ligaments in the knee that are prone to injury:

Mentioned above, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the two major

ligaments in the knee. It connects the thigh bone to the shin bone in the knee. ACL

injuries are a common cause of disability in the knee. In the U.S., 95,000 people get

them every year. They are more common in women than men.

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the second major ligament in the knee

connecting the thigh bone to the shin bone in the knee.

The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) connects the thigh bone to the fibula, the

smaller bone of the lower leg on the lateral or outer side of the knee.

The medial collateral ligament (MCL) also connects the thigh bone to the shin

bone on the medial or in side of the knee.

An ACL injury -- or other ligament injury -- is sometimes hard to diagnose. Symp-

toms of a knee ligament injury are:

Pain, often sudden and severe

A loud pop or snap during the injury

Swelling

A feeling of looseness in the joint

Inability to put weight on the point without pain

If they're not treated at the time, ACL injuries and other types of ligament injuries

may act up months or years later. They can make your knee give out when you twist

or pivot.

To diagnose an ACL or other ligament injury, your doctor will give you a thorough

exam. If your knee is swollen with blood, your doctor may use a needle to drain it.

You may need X-rays, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans, or other tests.

Have a great week!

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH OF WALTON COUNTY:

TAKE CAUTION WHEN DRINKING

WELL WATER AFFECTED BY FLOOD WATERS

~Alert to Private Well Owners in Flooded Areas~

WALTON COUNTY – The Florida Department of Health (DOH) of Walton County advises private well owners af-fected by flood waters to take precautions against disease-causing organisms that may make water unsafe to drink.

DOH recommends one of the following:

Boil water before use, holding it at rolling boil for at least one minute before using it for drinking, brushing teeth, washing food, cooking, or washing dishes.

Disinfect water by adding 8 drops (about 1/8 tsp. – this would form a puddle about the size of a dime) of plain, unscented household bleach (4 to 6 percent active ingredient) per gallon of water, and then let it stand for 30 minutes. If the water is cloudy after 30 minutes, repeat the procedure once. Use a container that has a cap or cover for disinfecting and storing water to be used for drinking. This will prevent contamination.

Use bottled water, especially for mixing baby formula.

After the flooding subsides:

Disinfect your well using the procedures provided by your county or state health department: http://www.myfloridaeh.com/water/privatewells.html. You may also visit the U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency’s website for instructions: http://water.epa.gov/drink/info/well/whatdo.cfm.

If available, have your water tested through your county health department or by a laboratory certified by the state to per-form a drinking water analysis for coliform bacteria.

For more information, please contact the Florida Depart-ment of Health in Walton County (850) 892-8021 or visit www.doh.state.fl.us or www.FloridaDisaster.org.

SWFD Lifeguard Season Begins

The TDC says both the new and returning South Walton Fire District lifeguards will take to the beach Saturday, March 9, 2013 to begin the 2013 season. Before the life-guards can begin their season on the beach they must undergo 88 hours of training, these hours are com-prised of 40 hours of Emergency Medical Responder training and 48 hours of SWFD orientation/USLA Acad-emy. Lifeguard towers are located at the following re-gional access points: Inlet Beach, Santa Clara Beach Access, Van Ness Butler Beach Access, Blue Mountain Beach, Gulfview Heights, Ed Walline Park, Dune Allen

and Miramar Beach (2 locations proposed for 2013).

OC TDC Investigation As reported by WZEP AM1460

The OCSO’s ongoing investigation into misuse of Tourist Development Funds by former

TDC Director Mark Bellinger led to the arrest of a Destin man on a charge of grand theft.

In addition, a second grand theft warrant has been issued for a Pennsylvania resident.

39-year old Nathan Wilson of 4201 Two Trees Road in Destin is accused of accepting

$7000 in TDC funds to coordinate a long distance relay race called “Emerald Coast to

Coast, Inc.”

The race never took place and investigators say the money has not been remitted to Oka-

loosa County. Wilson has also not provided any documentation to indicate the county

funds were ever used legitimately for purposes described in the application.

A warrant for grand theft has also been issued for 84-year old Robert Boudreau of 550

Plains Church Road in Mars Pennsylvania. OCSO investigators determined Boudreau,

Music Director for the American Wind Symphony Orchestra, received $25,000 in TDC

funds for a concert or concerts that were to be held in Okaloosa County in June 2012. No

concerts took place, but the total amount was paid by Okaloosa County through the Zim-

merman Agency to the American Wind Symphony Orchestra in January 2012. Boudreau

told investigators the concert was never performed because there was a “hospitality” prob-

lem, i.e. there was no local housing for the orchestra. He says he does not intend to return

the money and after he had not heard from Bellinger for a period of time he thought the

$25,000 was a donation to the orchestra.

OC Former Sheriff Employee Court Case

State Attorney Bill Eddins says the First District Court of Appeal has upheld the convic-

tions and sentences of three former Okaloosa County Sheriff's Department employees

convicted in a bogus bonus kickback scheme. The court issued three separate Per Curiam

opinions that does not state information regarding the ruling.

Mike Coup, Sandra Norris and James David Yacks were convicted in October 2010 of

racketeering and grand theft. They distributed and accepted bogus bonuses from former

sheriff Charlie Morris and then kicked back some of the money to Morris. The scheme

cost the department more than one and a half million dollars.

The court order means the three must surrender themselves and begin serving 48 months

in state prison followed by six years probation.

Eddins says the case was handled by Assistant State Attorney Russ Edgar. He says this

should help to bring closure to the residents in Okaloosa.

Freeport Meeting

As the Freeport City Council meeting

began, the Council received a recommen-

dation of Thomas Palmer for the Fire

Captain position. Council was told the

review came up with Palmer and the fire-

fighters all agreeing he was the one they

wanted. He is the first official captain for

the city of Freeport. There are lieutenant

positions to be determined. The Freeport

Fire Department is undergoing changes

and Walton County has been helping.

After eight months, the Sheriff’s Office

will step back and the trained department

and new captain will take over. The va-

cant chief position applications are in

with 28 submitted and signed as required

and 17 more not meeting all the require-

ments. Council agreed to only accept

those that were submitted with the re-

quired signatures.

The Freeport pool schedule was submit-

ted for review. The County contributed

$50,000 last year, but only $35,000 this

year. The batting cages behind the city

hall are being considered to be removed.

There were questions about the ma-

chines, how they weather and service.

Mayor Marse suggested building two

cages and run the power to them then let

any teams wanting to use machines bring

them. To do the whole job, moving the

cages and building new ones with ma-

chines and cement slabs at the Sports

Complex, with contracted labor could

cost $80,000. The problem is the mainte-

nance and liability of the machines.

Council agreed it would not be a good

use of the money. Pitching machines in

south Walton and DeFuniak Springs have

also been a problem to keep running. The

Council might consider turning the facil-

ity into a skate park.

Staff told the Council about the rodeo

coming to the Sports Complex at Ham-

mock Bay. This is the sanctioned rodeo

with about 300 participants. It will bene-

fit the Boys & Girls Club of the Emerald

Coast. The event is April 5th and 6th.

With added events and a larger crowd

expected, the rodeo has been moved from

DeFuniak Springs. The hope is this will

become a regular event.

Wellhouse number four has a roof and

electrical rough-in. Freeport will hold a

workshop to discuss the water and sewer

rates. The city has a new call-out system

that calls with voice messages. They also

have a new ebill system. The city will

also start using an online payment system

with a small service charge just for those

customers using it. With a data flow sys-

tem that has never worked right, Mayor

Marse recommended taking out the old

system and put in a new on. This is

needed to meet permitting requirements.

Council agreed to use money from the

impact fee account.

A candy company is recalling some

chocolate-covered marshmallow eggs

because of possible salmonella contami-

nation.

Zachary Confections, Inc., says its

Zachary Chocolate-Covered Marshmal-

low Eggs should be thrown out or re-

turned to the store.

The affected candy was shipped to

stores in Iowa, Minnesota, North Da-

kota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

Look for this information on the side

panel of the product packaging next to

the Unit UPC bar code label:

Zachary Chocolate-Covered Marsh-

mallow Egg Crates in a white, 5-

ounce package

Unit UPC code: 0 75186 15797 8

Code dates: D3245D; D3145E;

F3145E; D3245E

Best Buy Date: 02/14/14

Zachary says the candy is possibly con-

taminated with salmonella, but it doesn't

say how that might have happened. The

bacteria was found during routine test-

ing. Production is on hold until the FDA

and the company finds the source.

No one has reported getting sick from

the chocolate-covered marshmallow

eggs. An infection caused by salmonella

can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal

cramps, diarrhea (sometimes bloody),

fever, and headache.

Get more details from the FDA.

Walton and the Biophilia Center As reported by WZEP AM1460

Bio means life and philia means love. The Biophilia center east of Freeport on Highway 20 was

created to help instill a love of life, especially biological life in the next generation. The Center

works with area school districts and opens its doors to the general public under an agreement

with Walton County as a tourist attraction for the TDC. At their recent meeting, Commissioners

approved renewing the agreement with the Biophilia Center, but not without questions and con-

cerns expressed.

TDC Director Dawn Moliterno said the $119,500 includes collecting data of the visitors. The

money comes through the additional one cent bed tax, not property taxes. Commissioner Cindy

Meadows said they asked for a kiosk to be placed at the center so people can make reservations.

The TDC will supply the kiosk. The Biophilia Center has had about 3000 visitors from outside

Walton and are working on marketing in other areas.

Meadows noted there are millions of visitors to Visit South Walton and the center only had 6000

visitors. She said something needs to be stepped up. Resident J.B. Hillard said he watched the

TDC meeting and Biophilia presentation on NeighborVision.com and has concerns about the

tourists being served for the money spent. He said he has a concern about the $12 million non-

profit operation being supported with public money. He did note the school district is served very

well, though he said he does not know if the school district or just commissioners are being

asked for support. He asked if they requested funds from the TDC because it is easy to do so.

Hilliard asked about the people and if they are staying here. He said this is expenditure of public

funds for a private entity. Meadows suggested funding the Center on the number of guests they

have each year. Commissioners were told they Center is in the process of transitioning from a

private operation to a public operation. Resident Don Riley talked about Edgewater Resort and

said there has been little response from their users. He asked about the Center’s worth. He said

the request is for an exorbitant amount of money.

They are also in the process of putting in an exhibit, a six foot sphere with four projectors that

gives the feeling you are in space looking at a globe showing the biodiversity of Walton County

and other places. This is expected to be a large draw when it is unveiled on April 20th. The

county’s money is not for this project.

Commissioner Sara Comander said there are people who have never seen a cow being milked or

other features Walton can offer. She said there needs to be more record keeping. The Center will

be adding some features including items from a Cracker House to showcase the Florida settler

heritage of the area near Freeport.

Commissioner Meadows said the TDC can use money outside of their district if they can show

the spending puts “heads to beds.” She said this is a great Center and is need of funding, but feels

it needs to be cut in half to $60,000. She made that a motion. Meadows is on the TDC Board and

voted for the center funding, but said she has rethought after receiving more information. She

said they can give some of the money to others associated with ecotourism. The motion died for

a lack of second. Comander said she wants to see more numbers. She said they gave the EDA

three years to come up with the numbers. Comander said they could continue with the contract

for one more year to increase the numbers. This would mean funding for a total of three years.

The motion passed 4-0 with Meadows the nay vote.

Man Sentenced For Drug Charge

A traffic stop ended with a drug charge and now the man will spend at least 25 years be-

hind bars. William Eddins, State Attorney for the First Judicial Circuit, says Kenneth Ben

Williams has been sentenced to 25 years state prison for his conviction on the charges of

Trafficking in Methamphetamine over 200 grams.

The charges arose from an incident which occurred on June 25, 2012, where Williams was

stopped by the Crestview Police Department on a traffic stop for Driving on a Suspended

License. During the course of that stop, over 200 grams of methamphetamine was discov-

ered, Williams was convicted in a jury trial on January 23, 2013, before Circuit Judge Mi-

chael Flowers. The case was prosecuted by Assistant State Attorney Kimberly Torres.

Pursuant to the sentence, Williams’ sentence includes a 15 year minimum mandatory and a

$250,000 fine.

Miss Freeport 2013

"A Silver Celebration"! It has spanned 54 years, although numerous years there were no

competitions held. Then in 1996, it was given new life by the

Freeport Town Planters Society under the leadership of pageant

chair Russ Barley. This year the community of Freeport will wit-

ness the crowning of the 25th Miss Freeport, hence this years

theme, "A Silver Celebration". All but a few of the past winners

are slated to return for a fun filled night of pageantry, including

the first ever crowned queen, Ms. Jackie Robinson-Wood who

took the original title in 1959. Jackie will be joined onstage with

all of the previous winners as we take a trip back through time to

each of their prospective years. After introducing those ladies that

make up Miss Freeport history, the pageant will begin with more

than 50 beautiful young ladies taking the stage to vie for the titles

of Little Miss, Junior Miss, Young Miss, Junior Teen Miss, Teen

Miss and Miss Freeport 2013. The annual event will be held this

year at the beautiful Freeport High School auditorium and anyone

and everyone is invited out to share in this wonderful, historical

night in the city of Freeport.The date is March 9th with festivities

beginning at 6:00 p.m. Admission at the door is $6.00 for adults

and $4.00 for students. Anyone having any questions can contact

Russ Barley, pageant chair at 830-3289. Hope to see you there!

Visit South Walton Florida

Visit South Walton is in Florida. The TDC Board asked the commis-

sioners to add the word Florida to the current Visit South Walton logo.

Commissioners agreed to the addition and you should start seeing it on

media and signs. They will not change permanent logos such as water

towers until the time for regular repainting comes.

Commissioners also talked about the wording and possible use of a note

saying that it is part of Walton County. Commissioner Bill Chapman

said he is against the word “south” and wants the logo to reflect Walton

as a whole. He said he is against dividing the county and noted there is

no official location of “South Walton”. Commissioner Sara Comander

said proper grammar would not have the “s” be a capital S.

IZZY AND KNICK

By M. Vreeland

Take a look at these winsome faces and see if you can explain how anyone

could surrender them to a kill shelter because they were no longer wanted.

Izzy and Knick, an adorable pair of Pekinese, are beautiful, sweet and totally

devoted to one another. When they arrived at Alaqua Animal Refuge, it did-

n’t take long for them to become the darlings of our sanctuary. Even volun-

teers who prefer the big macho dogs fell completely head over heels for

them. Izzy and Knick are fun-loving, loaded with personality and an

absolute hoot to watch when they’re romping in the play area with their

Alaqua buddies. It’s hilarious to see them running and playing as they chase

each other to the fence so they can check out which of their friends is fortu-

nate enough to be next in line to play with them. If you have room in your

heart for two wonderful pups, please consider giving Izzy and Knick a lov-

ing forever home. They really need a special someone who understands how

much it means to them to remain together – someone who would be lucky

enough to double the fun and the love in their life.

"Northwest Florida's Premier Animal Sanctuary and Adoption

Center"

Alaqua Animal Refuge is a non-profit, no-kill shelter, located at

914 Whitfield Road, Freeport. We welcome you to visit all the

adoptable animals at our beautiful ten acre sanctuary any Tues-

day through Sunday from 12:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. For more

Class Needs Help For Project As reported by WZEP AM 1460

The 2013 Walton Leadership Class has se-

lected Topsail Hill Preserve State Park as the

benefactor of their class project. Topsail Hill

Preserve State Park is one of Walton’s most

beautiful natural resources which include 3.2

miles of secluded white beaches and 180

acres of breathtaking lakes. The class needs

your help.

They have two specific projects they want to

complete. The first is an ADA accessible

fishing dock adjacent to one of the lakes and

the other is to construct a seven station exer-

cise circuit along one of the park’s many

trails.

The class will do the physical work over the

course of two or three days. The materials

expense however, is estimated to be $10,000.

The class strongly desires to make a differ-

ence for locals and visitors alike that enjoy

the park. By building an ADA compliant

dock we give physically impaired persons of

all ages an opportunity to fish in a safe envi-

ronment.

To make this all happen, they need financial

contributions for the cost of materials. Do-

nors will be recognized at several events in-

cluding the dock dedication ceremony, the

Walton Chamber Newsletter and more.

Please consider making a contribution to

support the class project. Donation forms will

be supplied for tax purposes. Contributions

can be made to The Walton Chamber Foun-

dation by contacting Joanna Bernier at 850-

267-0683 or mail to: WACC, 63 S. Centre

WCSO Training As reported by WZEP AM1460 The Walton County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO)

recently sent three of its sworn members to

the Southern Police Institute (SPI) Command

Officer Development Course (CODC) in

Daytona Beach. The members, Lt. Jimmy

Fannin, Lt. Dewey Adams, and Sgt. Scott

Hogeboom, graduated from the course on

Friday, February 15, 2013.

The courses are sponsored through the Uni-

versity of Louisville but are typically held at

other campuses, in conjunction with U of

L. According to the college description:

“This is the flagship continuing education

course for law enforcement managers. It will

provide the foundation for practical law en-

forcement administration and complement

the Administrative Officers Course (AOC)

held twice each year. This training provides a

comprehensive overview of management

practices. The Command Officers Develop-

ment Course is offered in five (5) two-week

segments over a five-month period.”

The four hundred (400) hour training course

covers such topics as enhancing communica-

tions within an agency, an understanding of

internal affairs along with the need to estab-

lish high ethical standards for police person-

nel, as well as developing alternative solu-

tions to specific problems. Students must

also prepare a formal staff study about their

agency.

"As a graduate of one of Southern Police

Institute's advanced leadership courses, I

know how much work goes into successfully

completing a command level program like

this,” stated Major Joe Preston, Director of

Emergency Management and Support Ser-

vices. “We are extremely proud of each of

our officers and their excellent work. Sheriff

Adkinson's commitment to developing the

leadership skills of our staff and changing the

culture of our agency is demonstrated each

time an officer participates in a command

school of this caliber.”

FWC Reports

FWC Officer Ken White and Investigator

Ryan Nelson met with a subject at the Eglin

Air Force Base WMA check station regard-

ing an illegal deer that was taken in a re-

stricted antler area. It was later determined

that the deer was legally harvested in another

area that had no antler restrictions, but a

computer check revealed the subject was a

convicted felon, and his rights to possess a

firearm had not been restored. His firearm

was seized and charges for possession of a

firearm by a convicted felon will be direct-

filed with the State Attorney’s Office.

FWC Officer Randall Brooks received a

complaint of trespassing from an employee

on Nokuse Plantation. Officer Brooks made

contact with a subject and determined he had

entered the posted property from the Choc-

tawhatchee River. The subject was booked

into the Walton County Jail for trespassing.

Dear Aunt Ruby,

My big sister has been acting like she

is an adult and can make her own

choices. She is only 16 and thinks she

knows it all. From sleeping around to

drinking and god knows what else.

The more I tried to let her know how

much she is tearing our family apart the

more she does bad things. My parents

are at the end of their rope with her. I

don’t want to see her get put in jail or

worse but if someone doesn’t take the

time to get it through her head she will

have no choice but to suffer the conse-

quences of her actions. Besides the bad

reputation she has now got how will she

live herself when she grows older know-

ing what she has done?

T. of Freeport

Dear T.,

Your sister sounds like she may need the

law to get involved because there is only

so much a parent can do these days.

Maybe she will end up where she does-

n’t like and gets it together soon.

Tryouts for Gulf Coast Pro Baseball is this Sunday, March 10th at 4 pm at the Wee Care Park in DFS. Tryouts for both the DeFuniak Red Sox and the Ponce de Leon Ti-gers.

DFS Council As reported by WZEP AM1460

Expect the city of DeFuniak Springs to be painted purple for the week leading up to Relay

for Life. The end of April businesses are asked to put purple on their doors and you should

see signs and more.

Rob Neal asked about the insurance selection process and the selection of Barns Insurance.

He talked about the wording on the request for proposals where the matter was to be brought

back at Monday’s meeting. He asked about the negotiating committee. Council member Ron

Kelley said he sees it as redundancy to have the Council, who was acting as the negotiating

committee come back to vote.

The Destiny Worship Center asked about a waiver for their backpack give-away program

where children in need get a backpack with school supplies and a pair of shoes. They gave

away 1200 last year. With a change where even non-profits are now charged, the fee for the

three days would cost around $500. Councilman Mac Work asked if they could use the

school facilities for the vent. Councilman Wayne Graham said they are doing a lot for the

community and there should be a waiver. Work said he agrees, but they have to be able to

get ahold of the budget spending. Even with no provision for a waiver, Graham made the

motion to waive the fees. The motion passed 3-2 with Work and Kelley the nay votes. They

also voted nay for a request where the Destiny Worship Center works with Family First and

150 kids at Christmas.

Carolyn Williams asked for a fee waiver for the Lawson Amphitheatre and sound system

for the annual easter egg hunt. The provided sack lunches and more for around 100 kids. The

fee would be $110. Work noted they gave away around $1000. The motion passed with the

Wright, Graham and Ennis the yes votes.

Council approved a pay increase for Mr. Ealum since he now has a second level water

certification. Another employee was let go after being out for a long amount of time after an

accident off job. A business owner complained about the high cost of maintaining a sewer

lift station.

The city says they have had a lot of problems with the Verizon push to talk. The service is

good for regular phone service, but staff says they are having to buy other phones as back-

ups just to make sure they have service. Staff feels Verizon has not put money into the push

to talk side of the service. Southern Link is another option but the cost can be twice as much.

Remember the company wanting to bring up to 100 jobs to the DeFuniak Springs area?

They need an economic development grant for supplies to bring the project here. Council

member Mac Work said Mike Standley met with the governor’s office and so far the re-

sponse from the governor is “no they will not fund anything that is private.” Work said they

are not funding this because it is not economic development.

Highway 90 Update

Actually they have been working

this project, but the Florida Depart-

ment of Transportation says Mon-

day through Friday of next week,

crews will construct sidewalk and

place sod on U.S 90 in Walton

County from U.S. 331 to County

Club Drive. No lane closures antici-

pated.

Westbound traffic on U.S. 90 in

DeFuniak Springs will continue to

encounter daytime intermittent lane

restrictions between 4th Street and

7th Street. Crews will perform work

in the westbound lanes and inter-

secting side street connections in

this area.

Construction activities are weather

dependent and may be delayed or

rescheduled in the event of inclem-

ent weather. Drivers are reminded to

pay attention to the speed limit

when traveling through the con-

struction area, and to use caution,

especially at night when driving in

work zones.

WC BCC Records Management Workshop

“You need to clean house.” That statement can be a scary one for a politician, but in this case

it was made concerning old records not old commissioners. Steve Lewis, a records manage-

ment consultant hired by Walton County, presented a notebook with over a ream of paper de-

scribing recommendations on record keeping.

Florida has a broad and open Sunshine law that helps to make sure the public has the ability to

see what is going on in the government. Lewis said record management needs to be ongoing

and the county should have a person who is in charge.

His first recommendation is to get rid of any old records they do not have to keep. Lewis told

commissioners they have to make sure to work within the requirements of the state when de-

ciding which records they need to keep and which can be destroyed. He said they have to

document which were destroyed and why, which records they do not have and build a database

of those they keep. This is to make sure if there is a challenge in the future, they will be able to

show why the records are gone, not there or to be able to find them.

Lewis talked about records as far back as when the county was first created. He said they can

expect to find some of the records any county would have had at the time. Lewis said the re-

cords might start with the printed ones, but would also include any media type. He explained

the records are any stored data. Lewis said one of the hardest to work with are emails. Lewis

said it will take around two years to clean up all the records. This will be followed by annual

work and updates to the list.

Walton has records stored at several sites. The old bank downtown, various storage facilities

and even an old residence are being used for records storage. Lewis said they can use micro-

film, digital and other means to store records that still need to be kept. Some records even need

to be stored in a bunker, away from the County. Lewis said he asked the state if 10 million

years would be long enough and they said no. The idea is some records need to be kept always.

He told commissioners, with changing technology, he recommends microfilm. This is some-

thing that can be read with a candle and magnifying glass and lasts 3000 years.

You need to bring new members into the group. It could be at work, a volunteer organization or almost

anything else, but you need to spread out your social energy to draw in someone new.

Try hard to keep your mouth shut unless it's essential to speak up today -- and even then, think long and

hard about what you want to say. It's too easy to either confuse or enrage people today!

Your thinking needs to shift even further away from the mainstream -- though that shouldn't be too hard

for you! Just make sure that you're taking care of the people who need you the most.

You're thinking big right now, so make sure that your philosophical meanderings are aimed in the

right direction, more or less. You don't have to stay inside the box, but you should keep it in sight.

You may find that you're getting all riled up, but remember that preaching just can't get you anywhere.

If you can channel your emotions into something positive, you should be just fine

Try to take better care of yourself today -- even if you think you're deeply pampered! Maybe you need a

check-up or just some down-time; whatever you decide, stick to it no matter what

Your energy levels never seem to diminish today -- so make sure that you're taking action and making the

most of this great time! You should be able to get plenty done, and tomorrow looks good as well!

You've got to take it easy and try to make sure that you're going along with whatever is coming your way.

That could mean almost anything from saying yes to your sweetie to jumping over to a new job.

You can speak from the heart or from the head with equal clarity today -- so make sure that you're in good

company. Express yourself with no fear and things should be even better tonight.

If something seems too good to be true, the odds are that it is -- and your instincts are strong right now.

Your energy may shift a bit and keep you from acting, but this time, inaction may be better.

You need to show of your true feelings -- even if it gets mushy or embarrassing! Your terrific personal

energy helps you get beyond the awkwardness and on to something really positive.

You are making amazing progress today -- so much so that you may start to think you're dreaming. It's all

real, though, so make sure that you're taking advantage of this speedy energy to get things done.

Tattoos have become increasingly popular in

the United States in recent years, but along

with that comes a rise in problems such as

allergic reactions and infections, an expert

says.

More than one-third of Americans aged 18 to

25 report getting a tattoo, according to the

Pew Research Center. But if you're thinking

about getting "inked," there are some things

to consider before you head to the tattoo

parlor.

"Since tattoos are not regulated in any way,

there are many unknowns that could pose

potential problems for consumers in terms of

the inks and tools used," Dr. Michi Shino-

hara, a clinical assistant professor of derma-

tology at the University of Washington in

Seattle, said in an American Academy of

Dermatology news release.

"It is especially important for consumers to

be aware of the potential risks, report any

problem that develops to the tattoo artist and

see a board-certified dermatologist for

proper diagnosis and treatment," Shinohara

added.

Tattooing inks have changed a great deal

over the years and many modern tattoo inks

contain organic azo dyes with plastic-based

pigments that are also used industrially in

printing, textiles and car paint. Many un-

knowns exist about how these new tattoo

inks interact with the skin and within the

body.

Allergic reaction to the tattoo pigments is

one of the most common problems associ-

ated with tattooing. Infections also can pose

a serious threat to health. Along with local-

ized bacterial infections, there have been

reports of people being infected with syphilis

and hepatitis B and C due to non-sterile tat-

tooing practices, Shinohara said.

Skin cancer is another potential risk associ-

ated with tattoos because they can make it

hard to detect cancer-related changes in

moles. If you get a tattoo, make sure it's not

placed over an existing mole.

A tattoo can also cause a reaction that cre-

ates a bump that resembles a type of skin

cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. Be-

cause it is hard to distinguish from skin can-

cer, the bump could lead to potentially un-

necessary and expensive skin cancer treat-

ment, including surgery, Shinohara said.

She offered the following advice for people

who want to get a tattoo:

Go to a professional tattoo parlor and to a

tattoo artist who is licensed according to

state requirements. Insist on seeing tattoo

equipment in sterile packaging.

Tell the tattoo artist if you have a reaction.

If a problem lasts more than one to two
