District to investigate teacher’s aide accused of

abuse at FREEPORT HIGH
With America’s leader in Martial Arts
The Walton County School District plans to launch an internal investigation of a
Freeport teacher’s aide accused of abusing special needs children.
The decision, made by Superintendent Russell Hughes, comes one day after the State
Attorney’s Office announced that its investigation found insufficient evidence to charge
the aide, Kelly Woodworth.
Hughes said Tuesday he will wait for the State Attorney’s Office and Walton County
Sheriff’s Office to give him the final reports before launching the investigation and,
ultimately, deciding if disciplinary action needs to be taken against Woodworth.
The investigations began in February after a special needs student accused Woodworth
of flipping over her desk while she was still seated in it.
The aide was also accused of grabbing a boy by the arm to pull him out of a chair and
pulling a chair from under another boy while he was asleep. Free Uniform !

after the parent-teacher meeting for an undisclosed reason. She was later re-hired and
placed on administrative leave until all investigations are complete.
Woodworth was also removed from the campus during the course of the investigations.
The Sheriff’s Office released its 72-page investigative report late Tuesday evening, with
interviews from several eyewitnesses to the alleged abuse. Self-Confidence is an attitude which allows kids to have a positive yet

Investigators said, however, they tried several times to set up interviews through

Investigators said in the report there was no evidence proving Woodworth intentionally

'Incentives to Break the Law': Student Rips
'Absurd' Bill Allowing Illegal Immigrants to
Apply for Financial Aid
A Rutgers University student blasted a new bill that allows illegal immigrants attending
college in New Jersey to apply for and receive financial aid.
"It's just absurd that we're giving illegal immigrants more and more incentives to break the
law. ... I'm going to be paying for that debt after college," Nick Knight said.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) called the United States the "world's melting pot" where
people come "in the hope of a new life," when he signed the legislation at Rutgers-Newark,
according to NJ.com.
The Garden State became the ninth in the country to allow illegal immigrants to receive
financial aid with the bill's signing.Murphy explained the bill by saying that "New
Jerseyans support the ability of our Dreamers to not only remain in our state but to become
a strong and contributing part of our society and economy." "By allowing them to not only
go to college but to qualify for financial assistance, we are living up to that ideal," he
added.Earlier this month, Rutgers held a training workshop designed to help students,
faculty, and staff empathize with the illegal immigrant community. One administrator
suggested that the program should be mandatory. The bill's sponsor, state Senator Teresa
Ruiz (D-Newark), praised Murphy's move, saying that New Jersey prides itself in investing
in "all of our students throughout their K-12 academic careers." "I think they're taking the
word 'Dreamers' and trying to put it in a positive light," Knight said. "But in reality, it's not
fair for everybody else, for people who go through the process, for people who pay taxes
and for people who come over here legally."

‘Happenings’ in DeFuniak Springs
Retirees are leaving America Healthmark adds new provider
By Ron Kelley
to save money
Retired Americans who are down on their luck
are moving out of the country to stretch their
savings and Social Security income.
“For folks worried about stretching their nest
egg, even a few years spent in a good-value
place abroad can make a big difference on the
bottom line. Moving overseas can be a solid
strategy for shoring up savings,” according to
Jennifer Stevens, executive editor of
International Living.com.
Stevens said the expatriate option is enticing
many Americans.
“It’s never been easier to retire overseas — the
infrastructure is better than ever, technology
keeps you connected to family and friends back
home, and there is a wealth of safe, welcoming,
beautiful options overseas,” she said.
Possibly the most important factor for a
generation of under-saving Americans, Stevens
said, is in many places “a retiree can live
comfortably for less than $2,000 a month.”
Kathleen Peddicord, 55, who took the plunge 20
years ago with her husband, is the author of
“How to Retire Overseas: Everything You
Need to Know to Live Well (for Less) Abroad.”
She said the most tax efficient countries for
Americans living abroad are Panama, Belize,
Uruguay and Malaysia.
“The positions of these countries on taxing is
about as good as it gets. In these four countries,
you pay tax on only what you earn in the
country. Earn no income within the country, and
you pay no tax in the country,” she wrote.
Indeed, the number of American retirees living
elsewhere is rising, according to the US State
Department, which says 8.7 million Americans
are living abroad. It projects that number will
rise in the next decade.
Some 500,000 Social Security payments are sent
overseas, about 100,000 more than two years
ago, was according to the federal government.
But Stevens said those numbers are likely
under-counted.
Most Americans are retiring to places where US
currency is welcome and retirement budgets
work, according to a travel expert who has
written for numerous publications.
Peddicord said that living abroad can start as a
financial move but often becomes something
more meaningful.
“For many, the decision begins with a concern
that their retirement nest egg may not be big
enough to carry them through,” she said.
But she added that “every retiree I’ve known
who has taken the bold, brave leap and moved to
a foreign country has come to realize that the
real benefit isn’t the reduced cost of living but
the enhanced quality of life.”

The EMERALD STAR NEWS Inc.
Healthmark Regional
Medical Center has added a
new healthcare provider to
its staff of medical
professionals.
Simone Brady is a board-
certified Family Nurse
Practitioner from
Westminster, Maryland. She
is currently seeing patients at
the Healthmark Walk-In
Clinic on the hospital CNP SIMONE BRADY,
Healthmark Walk-In Clinic
campus.
CNP Brady is highly qualified, holding a Masters of
Science degree in Nursing from University of
Maryland, as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in
both Nursing and Biology. She received her Post
Masters Family Nurse Practitioner certification from
George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
Brady also has 21 years of experience in medicine,
starting in 1999, working as an Internal Medicine and
Oncology Nurse Practitioner in Baltimore, MD.
She also served as an Interventional Cardiology Nurse
Practitioner at the University of Maryland Medical
Center. Brady also served as an adult and family nurse
practitioner in both private practice and clinic settings
for over 10 years.
“We are delighted to have Simone Brady join our
staff here at Healthmark,” said Chief Operations
Officer Gerald Beard. “Her experience and expertise
makes her a superb addition to our clinic staff and she
seems to be a great fit for us.”
Clinic Director Kelli Maynard agreed. “It’s almost
like Simone been here forever and because she has
been a nurse and a nurse practitioner, she is well
versed in many different aspects of health care. The
patients like her and she’s helping our other physicians
with the heavy clinic workload.”
Since launching the Walk-In Clinic and extending its
hours to include Saturday morning, more people than
ever are discovering the high quality of health care that
is available here at home. As for CNP Simone Brady,
she could not be happier.
“I am very excited about being here,” said Brady.
“This has been a great move for me and the staff has
been so welcoming.
Best of all, I am doing what I really love.”

Healthmark Health Matters More sugar, please
For people with diabetes, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
occurs when there's too much insulin and not enough sugar
(glucose) in the blood. Hypoglycemia is defined as blood sugar
below 70 milligrams per deciliter.
According to researchers at Mayo Clinic, several factors can
cause hypoglycemia in people with diabetes, including taking too
much insulin or other diabetes medications, skipping a meal, or
exercising harder than usual.
Hypoglycemia is serious. Pay attention to early warning signs
and treat low blood sugar promptly. Treatment involves easy
short-term solutions — such as taking glucose tablets — to raise
blood sugar into a normal range.
Untreated, diabetic hypoglycemia can lead to seizures and loss
of consciousness — a medical emergency. In rare occasions, it
can be deadly. Tell family and friends what symptoms to look for
and what to do in case of emergency.
Early signs and symptoms of diabetic hypoglycemia may
include shakiness, dizziness, sweating, hunger, irritability or
moodiness, anxiety or headache. Diabetic hypoglycemia can also
occur during sleep. Symptoms include damp sheets or bedclothes
due to perspiration, nightmares, tiredness, irritability or confusion
upon waking.
Severe hypoglycemia, untreated, can result in clumsy, jerky
movements, muscle weakness, difficulty speaking or slurred
speech, blurry vision, confusion, convulsions, seizures and
unconsciousness.
Take the symptoms seriously. Diabetic hypoglycemia can
increase the risk of serious — even deadly — accidents.
Identifying and correcting the factors contributing to
hypoglycemia, such as current medications or irregular
mealtimes, can prevent serious complications.
Informing family, friends and co-workers, about hypoglycemia
is important. Their knowing what symptoms to look for and what
to do in case of emergency can make a potentially difficult
situation easier to manage. It's also important that they know how
to give a glucagon injection, in case it becomes necessary.
If symptoms of hypoglycemia seem to occur several times a
week, see a physician. To find out more about hypoglycemia,

Reading the article below is enough to make your head spin, but I can assure you, it is a must-read.

After reading it you will know why President Trump refers to Washington, DC as “The Swamp.” It’s not a swamp.
It’s a “Cesspool!” Is there just a little corruption in DC?

Chicken in a Blizzard
Two years ago Chick-fil-A made national headlines when company president Dan
Cathy spoke out in support of traditional marriage.
Liberals and gays came unglued and launched massive protests against the
restaurant chain. Several mayors spoke out saying they would not allow any more Chick
-fil-As to be built in their cities.
They tried boycotting the Christian owned company, but that backfired.
Instead, Chick-fil-A had a world record day with many locations selling out of food to
the hundreds of thousands of supporters. Is it any surprise that the only news the liberal
mainstream media has reported concerning Chick-fil-A has only been the negative?
Remember last week when the ice storm hit the south? The mainstream media
showed footage of miles of cars stranded on the frozen interstates.
Several national news broadcasts that I saw reported about school kids trapped on
busses for almost 24 hours because of all of the ice and parents going frantic wondering
where their kids were.
In all of the icy gloom and doom, I bet you didn't hear about the heroic and generous
actions of a Chick-fil-A along Highway 280 in Birmingham, Alabama, did you?
Mark Meadows, owner of the Chick-fil-A closed early the day of the storm and sent all
of his employees home. However, the employees and Meadows soon discovered that
they were not going to be able to get home with all of the stranded motorists stuck on
the roads. Some of the cars near the restaurant had been stranded for up to 7 hours.
Meadows and his employees fired up the kitchen and began preparing chicken
sandwiches as fast as they could. They prepared several hundred sandwiches and then
Meadows and his staff headed out and began distributing the hot meals to the stranded
motorists on both sides of Highway 280.
Some of the drivers tried to pay them for the sandwiches, but Meadows and his
employees refused to take a single penny. Audrey Pitt, manager of the Chick-fil-A,
explained why: "This company is based on taking care of people and loving people
before you're worried about money or profit. We were just trying to follow the model
that we've all worked under for so long and the model that we've come to love.
There was really nothing else we could have done but try to help people any
way we could."
However, Meadows and Pitt were not through with their Good Samaritan efforts. They
helped push cars off the roads, up inclines and whatever else they could do to help.

OIR Staff Member Deploying to Puerto Rico to Provide Assistance
– Florida Insurance Commissioner David Altmaier announced today that staff from the Office
of Insurance Regulation (OIR) will travel to Puerto Rico to assist those impacted by Hurricane
Maria. In partnership with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), an
OIR team member will deploy on May 12, 2018 to assist families and individuals with claims
and other insurance issues.
Governor Scott said, “Since Hurricane Maria, Florida has provided steadfast support to our
neighbors in Puerto Rico and I am proud to continue this aid by sharing an insurance expert
from Florida to provide claims assistance to homeowners and business owners as they work to
rebuild their lives. I am proud of the work Florida has done to help families from Puerto Rico
and we will continue to do all we can to make sure they have the resources needed to get back
on their feet.”
CFO Jimmy Patronis said, “Access to insurance help and resources is critical for consumers
and businesses in Puerto Rico impacted by Hurricane Maria. As we gear up for the 2018
Hurricane Season, it’s important that we do all we can to provide resources to the people of
Puerto Rico to help recover and now prepare ahead of June 1.
My office’s bi-lingual insurance experts stand ready to assist with any consumer concerns.”
Florida Insurance Commissioner David Altmaier said, “OIR’s mission is to protect insurance
consumers and cultivate a stable insurance marketplace in Florida, and we’ve worked closely
with Governor Scott, CFO Patronis, Commissioner Putnam, and Attorney General Bondi to
carry out this mission before, during, and after storms. I am proud that our team will now have
the opportunity to extend our efforts by providing direct assistance in Puerto Rico.”
Julie McPeak, Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance Commissioner and
National Association of Insurance Commissioners President, said, “Having OIR staff available
to assist with policyholders with claims processing will be an invaluable service, and the
NAIC is thrilled to partner with Governor Scott and Commissioner Altmaier on this initiative.”
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners will provide financial support for
travel costs associated with the initiative.

Huckabee: Opening of New U.S. Embassy Shows
'America Won't Be Played as Chumps'
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee applauded President Trump's move of the U.S. Em-
bassy in Israel from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem.
Huckabee noted Trump's "courage" to move the embassy to Israel's "rightful capital."
"The decision he made was the right decision, and I'm proud of him for making it," he said on of equalizing income, (didn't Marx say something like this?) in our country;
"Outnumbered Overtime," which was broadcast live from the event.
The relocation of the embassy fulfills one of President Trump's key campaign promises, and
validates his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Huckabee added that Trump "doing
the right thing" was similar to his efforts with North Korea and airstrikes against Syria. Israeli "We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and

Interesting that the LA Times did this. Lou
Dobbs reported this on CNN and it cost him his
job. The only network we would see this on
would be FOX.
Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, this should be of great interest
to you! Just One State - be sure and read the last part... try for 3 times.
This is only one State... If this doesn't open your eyes, nothing will!
From the L.A. Times.
1. 40% of all workers in LA County (10.2 million people) are working for
cash; and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal
immigrants, working without a green card. (Donald Trump was right)
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans
on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican
nationals; they are here illegally.
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most
likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in LA are Spanish- speaking.
10. In LA County, 5.1 million people speak English; 3.9 million, speak
Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people, in LA County.
(All 10 of the above facts were published in the Los Angeles Times)
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.
Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth, (and over 90% of
California , Florida and New York ), results from Immigration. Also, 29% of
inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.
We are fools for letting this continue.
And then there's NANCY PELOSI:
Nancy Pelosi (who was just re-elected and part of this problem) wants a
Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. In other words, tax what you have
made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case!
You aren't going to believe this…; Windfall Tax on Retirement Income..
Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the
American people "you're so dammed stupid that we're going to keep doing
this until we drain every cent from you".
Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits
(including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds)!
Alas, it is true- all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other
unemployed Minorities!
This woman is frightening. She quotes... "We need to work toward the goal
and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.
(I'm not rich, are you?)"
When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:
minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants
Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these
