Promoting the growth of Freeport in every edition

Welcome to all you visiting our little slice of heaven... Thanks for reading..enjoy :)

For every copy picked up, a business gathers a new customer base of readership.

Since 2008
French President Francois Hollande ordered flags at half-staff following the assault on Wed. carried out by suspected Islamist extremists. . . Crowds stood silently in public spaces, schools and office buildings, pelted by a
cold rain. Some held signs that read Je suis Charlie, or I am Charlie, which has quickly emerged as a succinct
rallying cry and hashtag for those opposed to the violence. Many in France and around the world see it as a direct
assault on freedom of expression. As we do too, here in FREEPORT, Walton county. Show we show the sign.

This weeks cover is in dedication to all
military veterans, all who have ever put
their life on the line for Freedom....Fought
for us to live how we do in the USA, even
If we continue to deny what fuels the enemy then we will never destroy this enemy. If we continue to allow
this enemy into our countries forcing us to self-censor, if we continue to have cultural jihadist apologists who here in Freeport, DeFuniak and South
advocate for the enemy, there is no way we shall win.
Walton county...are we prepared?
When you ask me if weve turned a corner after the attacks in Paris, my response is no. Because in three
months no one will remember Charlie Hebdo as I dont think it was that long after the hashtag campaign
that we forgot who Boko Haram was. Heck, I bet that if you do a man-on-the-street and ask who is Boko
Haram, some will think hes the starting power forward for the Brooklyn Nets or maybe a safety for the
Seattle Seahawks.
Anyone remember the Islamic terrorist group that fired rockets into Israel? Or how about the Islamic terrorist
group that blew up the Beirut Barracks in 1983? Doggone, I hate losing to these barbaric jerks. Sadly, thats
what is happening and there are far too many of US who are enabling them starting in the White House.
Time to take Facts and Face them people, a sick reality is among us. Intent to destroy us. But even with this
small newspaper, I will show solidarity to our US Freedoms, (hope yall got my back)..USA!

Editorial

The EMERALD STAR NEWS Inc.

The Wolfes Den

Hello and welcome to January already half past. Doesnt that
make you realize how fast time is going by? Its one thing to
see the years gone by through the changes we see in our children until they become young adults in todays world. I hate to admit it
folks, I concerned about the future for them. If we dont step up and become prepared to
fight this evil that is lurking amongst our nation. Let alone how they have infiltrated the
rest of the world.
Seriously people of Walton county, Freeport and beyond. What are we doing to do when
they (radical Muslims) want to..lets say take over DeFuniak Springs, for example.
You do realize they have 7 locations where they (Muslims) 3 from the video, was from
around Dearborn Michigan. Yes, folks here in the USA..they (Muslims) take it
amongst themselves to pick an area and post boundaries where they will enforce Sharia
Law. Kids, do your internet a change and do the research. They want to Kill us all!
You will see killings, you will see beheadings, you will see gunshots to the heads.get
this from kids your age (12). Being taught how to Kill=where to shoot you? While our
kids are in the house playing a video game that doesnt allow them to think of reality. This
editorial I write to you, is not intended to scare or place fear in you, but I like you and I
want to see us all alive around town...living the way we want to.
How many of you read the fact that Islamic people applied for a permit south of Montgomery Alabama to enforce the right to have Sharia Law?, where they CHOOSE to live?
How many of you are up on this? How many of you are concerned of the direction of the
state of our country? I know plenty of us Veterans who are tired of the BS and terror they
cause. They live to destroy us..explain that to your 5yr old. Tell them not to talk to
strangers.hell, dont be around any people who are wearing all black? Is that politically
correct? I dont know, personally, I dont care. You mean do to us harm, I say we destroy
them before they have us all lined up ready to shoot us, our kids, grandparents? I tell you
this is not a joke. I want answers from our elected officials ..NOW!
What is the plan, Mr. Sheriff? Are you going to arrest and or remove these unwanted
possible terrorist in our county? Are you going to back-off like a few other cops have and
let them do what they want in their area as they choose? So, it grows more and more?
Only because deep down you fear for your own life as we will be as citizens too. So, if
you are outnumbered what do you do? Id love to hear some feedback from any deputy,
official, elected or not...citizens. Do you NOT see what is going on the rest of the world?
Let alone our own nation? Is Alabama close enough to open your eyes to this problem?
Do we vote now to keep them out of Walton county? Do we just wait till its too late?
Watching the images of the terrified hostages released from hiding in the freezer at the
Hyper Cacher market on the television last week, I could not help but feel that French
Jews must be having terrible flashbacks of the Holocaust and that they could not help but
think of Anne Frank, hiding in her attic. How many of us remember the story? It was true,
she lived it. You too will have your own story. I do too. But I dont want us as citizens of
Walton County Florida to someday wonder if the gas station is rigged to blow or is the
Muslim nice or not? We dont have time to play those kind of games, while our lives and
our future is at risk.
The whole world is watching how France will react to the horrible terrorist acts in Paris,
to the war against freedom of expression and the war against the Jews. A rally of over one
million marchers took place in Paris in response, with thousands holding Je Suis Charlie,
Je Suis Juif and Je Suis Achmed signs. Those people are just like us, wanting to be left
alone from violence and death and evil crap. I see no good coming from trying to deal
with people who are willing to kill you on the spot and dont care, cause its what they
feel is for Allah or something? Come on.I know of hundreds of you who e-mail me
about this issue. Even groups, the KKK has written to my newspaper.
Its time we band together for a reason further than youve ever imagined. I recommend
you all seriously think about this. If you want to Ill print your questions and concerns.
The Press and its right to be FREE from being told what it can or cannot print is wrong.
Right or wrong, on the subject may in be question from time to time, but the right to print
it is what our USA FREEDOM is based on that theory. Dress how you want, say what you
want, once youre an Adult you can face consequences for what you may say to another
persons face, however before they beat you, you can say what you want!
WELCOME to AMERICA..LOVE IT or LEAVE IT! We cannot afford to change our
ways to accommodate you and your feelings. Yea, sometimes we all get our feelings hurt,
grow up...am I right?
But this time it isnt like just change the channel or dont look cause its nasty or disgusting. What these people are doing is un-describable for most print anywhere. We cannot
afford to coward from this situation and I one, am ready to call for Action. Whether it
become in writing or so when we come across them, we show them it has been voted
against or written Law.not here in Walton county. Its a shame that this country leaders
has let this become what it has, but it will not get better before it gets worse this time
round. I want us to be prepared now.not-after the damage may be done. Write in!!

FOR THE RECORD: Americans Have Protested Terror

Too, We Were Simply Ignored by Our Press
Yesterday we witnessed an incredible display of world
unity against terror, and we all know that remarkably missing was the supposed Leader of the Free World, Barack
Hussein Obama.
Millions met on the streets of Paris, it was an amazing sight
as well as an incredible message.
What is deeply troubling to American patriots is how our
press highlighted this march, rightfully so, but when
Americans marched (rode) for the same reason in WashAerial View of Some of
ington, DC, we were all but ignored.
the Bikers Protesting
Muslims, September 11, I have held off telling this amazing story for too long. Now
2013 at the First Annual the time seems more right given recent events.
It was a call-to-arms, so to speak. In July 2013 we all were
2 Million Bikers To DC
shocked, rendered almost speechless, when we heard about
Rally
an event scheduled for September 11, 2013 called the Million Muslim March hosted by American Muslims Political Action Committee on Washington, DC. Due to massive backlash they quickly changed the name to Million Muslims March Against Fear, or some such nonsense. For muslims to dare to convene on
that sacred day was a slap in the face to all of us.
Shortly thereafter, a plan emerged. It began with one patriot and then two and then
twenty and then thousands, probably millions after it was all said and done. But you
didnt hear about its true impact on any national news organization. NOT. ONE.
Fox News offered a small snippet, but really ignored the magnitude of the event. Many
people worldwide were watching real-time, as advised by our Facebook page, online at
the local street cam sites. But those were mysteriously switched to show snow-covered
streets for a 90-degree September day. Why are they hiding us? We who planned the
event, rode in it, and reported it back to those who were watching online in real time,
know the effect this day had on America and the world.
We saw soldiers in Afghanistan gratefully thank us for our stand against Islam and our
never-ending support of them. Our impact was literally worldwide. We heard from the
Brits and from our ride they launched a group called Britain First, countering the Islamic invasion in their country. We had posts that reached over 25 million people at one
time during the day. We know the impact this event had.
Its impossible to know if we reached the goal of 2 million bikes, and thats hardly the
point, though its always a popular question and certainly invites critics. What I know
personally, is that as I rode through the streets of DC that day, talking with Capitol Police, we were informed that at around noon, they had estimated there were 1.2 million
bikes in the city then. And they rolled in and around the streets of DC all day long. This
day brought tears to our eyes countless times. We mourned the loss of those on 9/11.
We mourned the loss of those who fought the War on Terror. We mourned the loss of
our nation as we once knew it.
Who are these mysterious chrome wielding, flag bearing and leather clad protesters?
Patriots. Veterans. First responders. Active Duty. Americans.
Our message was three-fold. Stand up to terror. Honor the fallen. Support our first responders and troops. Simple as that.
Barack Obama and his lapdog media intentionally hid
our event from the world that
day. No question. But we
have a message for him:
Vroom Vroom, We will not
be silenced.
We battled all kinds of obstacles from lack of permits to
garbled cell usage to misinformation about the event
that continue to this day!
For an event that took place
23 days from the decision to
do so, it was amazing. One of
the best days Ive experienced as an American. As a
result of it, we can rest assured to know that when
needed, this cavalry will ride.

Chick-fil-A Owner Declines Homeless Mans

Offer to Work For Food and Gives Him Something Even Better
Mark Meadows is no stranger to the public eye, but not because he wants attention.
The local owner of a Birmingham, AL, Chick-fil-A, Meadows is known around
those parts for being something of a Good Samaritan.
Last year, for instance, when the Snowpocalypse blanketed parts of Alabama
with snow and stranded motorists along Highway 280, Meadows distributed
chicken sandwiches and chicken biscuits free of charge to drivers stuck in their
cars.
And last Wednesday, when a young man came in from the cold and asked if he
could do some chores in exchange for food, Meadows didnt hesitate to help.
Im a Chick-fil-A fan and have been for years. I trust the food for my son and support companies that are founded on Christian beliefs.
What I saw today just confirms why this chain is so successful God blesses His
people.
My son and I were at the location on Highway 280 in Birmingham, AL when a man
came in to escape the 35 degree temps and strong winds with all of his earthly possessions strapped to his back.
Most businesses would force him out, but I watched as the manager walked up to
him and asked if he could do anything for him. Before the man could even answer,
the manager asked if he had a pair of gloves and walked to the table at which hed
been sitting and picked up his own. As he handed the man his gloves, he asked another employee to get him something to eat.
It was wonderful to see your employees being the hands and feet of Jesus, and that
my son was able to witness it all. Thank you for putting your money where your
mouth is.
Edit: I just learned this man is the owner and that makes it even better IMO.
When AL.com asked Meadows why he was always lending a hand to his customers, Meadows didnt seem to think he did anything special:
I just did the right thing, he said. Im simply awe struck about all this attention.
People who know Meadows personally have spoken up on the store locations
Facebook page, sharing that this is typical behavior from the 25-year owner/
operator: 10,000s of people commented on FBook. Check it out.
Makes me wonder how many people around here today would lend a man a helping hand for more than just a day. To give someone a chance at a future living near
where you work. Its that everyones dream? As long as its zoned for it, go for it!
Sounds nice, even simple. Yet look at us all driving across the 331 bridge to make
$$ on the south-side. ***That will change in due time Freeport, in due time.

Flu Season Bad and May Get Worse

Thats the headlines for the rest of the nation. So, if you feel you need a
Flu shot give us a call and schedule a good time to come in. It only takes
a few minutes to get the shot, studies show its worth it to get the shot.
As if you can never have enough fighters against cold and flu inside
your body. Compared to dealing with over the counter, after the fact you
are already ill, you may be down for a few days. Or come get a shot :)
"This flu season is shaping up to be a severe one, especially for older
people, young children, and those with underlying conditions," said
CDC director Tom Frieden, MD, referring to conditions like asthma,
sickle cell disease and other health problems.
During the press briefing, Frieden urged people who haven't gotten vaccinated to get a flu shot. People with symptoms should get to their doctor quickly for antiviral medicines to reduce the severity of the illness,
he said.
For the week ending Jan. 3, widespread or high flu activity had been
reported in 46 states, according to the CDC. Flu is widespread almost
everywhere, he said.
More than 5,400 flu-related hospitalizations have been reported,
according to the CDC, although that data is from only 13 states and
doesn't reflect the total number. Twenty-six children have died. The
CDC doesn't track adult deaths from the flu, but the proportion of
deaths attributed to both pneumonia and flu is slightly above the
epidemic threshold after dipping below it last week.
This season's dominant flu strain, H3N2, is one that public health officials did not figure would be common this year, Frieden said. So the flu
vaccine ''cocktail'' did not include that, and immunization is not as effective as in some past years. The CDC expects to have an update on vaccine's effectiveness in coming weeks, he said.
Were right in the middle of the flu season, Frieden said. But cases
might be declining in some states where the flu began early.
On average, a flu season continues for 13 weeks, and the U.S. is
about 7 weeks in, he said.
If you catch the flu, or you think you might be coming down with it,
let your doctor know ASAP. Antiviral medications can help, Three antivirals are on the market, including oseltamivir (Tamiflu), peramivir
(Rapivab, an IV drug for adults given in a single dose), and zanamivir
(Relenza). "They work but they aren't being used nearly enough,"
Frieden said. "They can reduce symptoms, shorten the duration of illness, and reduce complications.'' Antivirals could keep you out of the
hospital, they could keep you from going to the intensive care unit, and
they may even save your life.

Early Saturday morning a WCSO K9 Unit spotted a

vehicle traveling north on Hwy 331 that matched a
description of a vehicle involved in a residential burglary in Freeport. As the deputy activated his emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop on Hwy 331
and West Indian Creek Road, the deputy observed the
passenger throw something out the window.
Contact was made with both the driver and the passenger, identified as Timothy Roger Jefferson, 22, of
Smith Station, AL and Brandy Wade Ward, 22, of
Freeport. Both were read their Miranda Rights and
deputies told the suspects why they were pulled over.
Dispatch advised deputies that Jefferson, who was
driving, had a suspended license since July of 2014.
Deputies located a marijuana blunt that was thrown
from the window as described by the suspect.
The victims of the burglary were brought to the scene
and were able to identify Jefferson and Ward as the
individuals who were found inside their home. When
the victims entered the residence, they observed Jefferson and Ward exiting through the back door. A
struggle took place among the victim and Ward prior
to both suspects fleeing in a vehicle. One of the victims was able to obtain the license plate number and
relayed it to the Sheriffs Office along with a vehicle
description. A check of the scene revealed that drawers, cabinets, closets in multiple rooms had been
opened and rummaged through, in an apparent attempt
to locate items to steal.
Jefferson and Ward are both charged with burglary to
an unoccupied dwelling and criminal mischief. In
addition, Jefferson is charged with driving while license suspended or revoked and Ward is charged with
marijuana possession.

Paris: Mr. Obama, why can't you show radical

Islamists we mean business?
President Obama was a no-show Sunday at
the unity rally in Paris. There were leaders
from around the world. Eric Holder, the
lame duck Attorney General was sent in
Obama's absence. Holder was in Paris for
an anti-terrorism summit. He did not appear with other world leaders at the rally.
I wonder what was on Obama's schedule
that was more important to the president
than showing radical Islam we mean business?
I trust the president's absence had nothing
to do with his well-documented refusal to
tie terror to where it comes from. The radical wing within the Muslim community. By
not showing up and locking arms with President Franois Hollande, Chancellor Angela Merkel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, PLO Chairman Mahmoud Abbas,
and others...has our president hat tipped terrorists that we in America still are afraid to
offend them?
It was a nice show of solidarity in Paris on Sunday. But will world leaders respond
with action or return to their respective countries and not just declare war on radical
Islam? They must actively seek to root out radicals and destroy their infrastructure.
Enough have died at the hands of these savages. They have no right to hide behind
"no-go zones."
I first mentioned the extensive network of "no-go" zones in Britain and France after
the beheading of a British soldier in the streets of London by a radical Muslim.
The left called me intolerant.
I was called Islamophobic by CAIR.
I didn't care then, and I could care even less, now.
Back home, we need to make sure there are no safe places for terror in America.
There are pockets of high density Muslim populations all the across the United
States.
We are free in America to live where and how we choose. And, of course, that applies
to Muslim communities, too, as long as these places are not hiding terror cells.
Law enforcement has a responsibility to make sure that there are no areas where they
are afraid to police. They have a responsibility to ensure these areas are not breeding
places of terror.
Our elected officials need to back law enforcement with strong support. And they
need to arm law enforcement with the tools they need to keep our country safe. -That means intelligence support, arming them adequately and letting them know that
We the People support law enforcement.
But heres the bottom line: If you intend to hurt Americans, you will be tracked, followed and profiled.
Sorry, does that sound politically incorrect? Too bad!
How many more beheaded journalists or massacres of innocents do we need to rethink the current administration's political correctness strategy?
It simply didn't work. It made liberal progressives feel better about their tolerance but
that tolerance has turned deadly over and over again.
Finally, watching those leaders marching
through the Paris streets sans Obama, I
wanted to shout, "Hey Islamic terrorists, he
We offer the best coverage for
doesn't speak for me!" And likely MILthe lowest prices you will find!
LIONS of Americans, who are ready to fight
Give us a call now to reserve

Greetings and Happy New Year from the Mayors Office

As we begin 2015 we can look forward to a great year full of new ideas
and changes within our city. We should begin the process of bid applications for the renovation and expansion of the Community Center
within the next month, as well as the beginning of the new outdoor pavilion to be located in back of city hall. We now have on board our new
Parks and Recreation Director Mrs. Dana Weiler and she has a lot of
new ideas for that department and we welcome her and look forward to
her being a part of the city. A new security system has been installed at
city hall and the employees feel a little more secure in their day to day
operations. My congratulations to Freeports own Mary Kate Myrick
(Miss Freeport 2014) on receiving the Taylor Haugen Award and
Scholarship Award for outstanding academics and athletics, we are so
proud of her, her brother Colin received the award two years ago and
he was on hand for the presentation of the award. I was fortunate to
receive an invitation to attend the swearing in of Governor Scott in
Tallahassee last week and it was an experience that I had never thought
that I would add to my bucket list- his inaugural statement was inspirational and he has a good intentions slated for the state of Florida in the
next four years as his number one goal is to bring more jobs to the
state. The Walton County Art League has started featuring artist in the
Freeport Library, it began this week and the painting are for sale if you
wish to purchase them. Next month we will begin the preparations for
this years Bayfest as well as the Mayors Ball so dates should be selected soon on both of these events. The Miss Freeport Pageants signups will be on January 24 and February 7 of this year as we select a

You'll continue to have Venus in your sign until January 27, so be sure to make the most of it. While you
have this cosmic benefit, you will come across to others as more confident and beautiful, inside and out.
As a result, it'll be easy to magnetize anyone you're hoping to spark a love connection with. Pay attention
to conversations and who you meet near Tuesday.
Get ready for more dynamism and bravado than you've had in nearly two years! During this time you'll
have plenty of courage to pursue whomever it is you're interested in romantically. Although you're typically a shy, sensitive sign, now you'll have little trouble taking the initiative and making that first move. If
you're already in a relationship, your partner will enjoy how much more physical energy you have.

Hey, what ever happened to that group who kidnapped all those girls in Nigeria you
know, heck what was their name? I remember that hashtag thing, what was it? Doggone

really, right? The families of the thousands butchered probably do but no one is organizing
a march for them. I guess those black lives dont matter, do they Al, Eric or Barry?
A large number reportedly drowned as they crossed Lake Chad, the BBC relayed. Following its takeover of Baga last week, Boko Haram has launched fresh attacks that have killed
dozens, Reuters noted, adding that the insurgency (they are Islamic terrorists doggone it)
killed more than 10,000 people last year, according to a count by the Council on Foreign
