Hello to you all once again. It seems like most everyone Iknow of had an enjoyable Labor day weekend. There wasntmuch in the way of bad or disturbing news from the weekend
so that is a welcome sign from within Walton county.
Im sure most of you have heard of the problems involving Syria lately. How let downdo you feel as an American that we have not done anything to enforce the global treatyagreement? Seriously, all the delays have given them time to move around their opera-
tions and plans to cause grave devastation around the world.
In my years as growing up our presidential person seemed to hold a strong stance anda firm fist about our rights and ways. I could name a few but you get the point. Didntwe strike fast to show the seriousness we will fight and win? Now, it appears that theyare making deals with the devil in hopes that we dont get attacked for being the strong-est military nation on the planet. If you havent noticed, we are hated for our ways and
our beliefs, that all of the world needs to be democratic or something. Our country haslost its power and control of peace throughout the world. They show videos everyday
the lack of respect they have against the USA. Its only going to escalate.
When I served in the Air Force, I swore to uphold our commanders orders and would
be willing to fight for my life if necessary. As many have died so far in the battle fields.
As the Obama administration tries to prod Congress into backing armed action againstSyria, the regime in Damascus is hiding military hardware and shifting troops out of
bases into civilian areas. Politically, President Bashar Assad has gone on the offensive,warning in a rare interview with Western media that any military action against Syria
could spark a regional war.
If the U.S. undertakes missile strikes, Assad's reaction could have a major effect onthe trajectory of Syria's civil war. Neighboring countries could get dragged into a widerconflict, or it could be back to business as usual for a crisis that has claimed the lives of
more than 100,000 people over 2 years.
The main Western-backed opposition group says that during the buildup last week towhat seemed like an imminent U.S. attack, the army moved troops as well as rocketlaunchers, artillery and other heavy weapons into residential neighborhoods in citiesnationwide. Three Damascus residents, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear ofreprisals, confirmed such movements. One man said two members of the elite Republi-can Guards broke into an empty house he owns and showed him an official documentstating they were authorized to do so because Syria is at war. A woman in another area
said soldiers moved into a school next to her house.
A U.S. official confirmed there are indications that the Syrian regime is taking steps tomove some of its military equipment and bolster protection for defense facilities. "TheSyrian regime knows there are 30-40 potential targets for U.S. airstrikes, and they have
had ample time to prepare," said Hisham Jaber, a retired Lebanese army general anddirector of the Middle East Center for Studies and Political Research in Beirut. "Half ofthem, if not more, have been evacuated, moved or camouflaged. This is the naturalthing to do."
Obama said last week that he believes the U.S. should strike Syria for what the ad-ministration says was a deadly chemical weapons attack by Assad's forces on rebel-heldsuburbs of Damascus. The administration has stressed, however, that any operationwould be limited and not aimed at tipping the balance of power in Syria's civil war.
The regime has a range of options if the U.S. does bomb. It could retaliate with rock-ets against U.S. allies in the region. It could unleash allies like Hezbollah against West-ern targets abroad. Or it could do nothingand score propaganda points by portrayingitself as victim of U.S. aggression. More than likely they will do both. Blame us forattacking them as they will continue to find ways to destroy America. That is the goal ofseveral countries around the world.
I know this is disturbing but it is the reality that is going on now.even today. It is
very disappointing to see that our leader has not been anything that he acted like beforehe became president. There is so much in disarray right now. Our country needs helpand with the man at the wheel acting disheveled that doesnt help me sleep better at
night. What about you?Lets pray for our children, to see what is going on and what changes will need to be
made in order for us to continue living our American dream. The schools need to shapechildren for our future, get real and be forthright with them. They may have a great idea.

Garbage Collection For Condos
As reported by WZEP AM 1460Walton Special Projects Coordinator Larry Jones, now County Administrator, presentedinformation to the commissioners at their recent meeting on condominium solid waste col-lection. This after a request by the Walton County Taxpayers Association, who said the
condo residents were not being treated equally as the garbage tax ordinance allows for.
While a tax pays for residential garbage pickup in Walton County, it does not pay for com-mercial pickup. This means Walton has not been paying for collection at condominiums,even though there are full time residents who live there. The condo garbage is usually placed
in a large dumpster or compactor.
Jones showed the typical collection pickup for a resident in Walton County. Using the aver-age figures and looking at the condos dwelling as a single family unit, Jones came up withnumbers for costs. He presented several possible scenarios where the county would help
with some or all the condo pickup costs.
Commissioner Imfeld asked if the Land Development Code defines condos as commercialand asked if this needs to be changed. Staff agreed they are looked at as commercial, butsaid these are for definitions in the code for land us. The attorney said he does not think it
will be a problem.
Imfeld also asked about the costs and how they will be subtracted, making sure it will notharm the cities when funds are distributed to them. Commissioners approved the change,agreeing to pay for the full $11.93 amount based on a motion by Meadows and Comander.
The first motion by Imfeld to pay for part of the costs failed.
Bob Hudson, with the WCTA told the commissioners the request was given to Jones andcredited him with coming through with a result. The result is Waste Management will bill
the county $11.93 per condo unit unless it is cheaper for a set of units.
Jones also asked that the contracts with Waste Management by put on notice to not auto-matically renew so the county can negotiate. Walton also wants to negotiate a long termagreement for collection and disposal. Commissioner Comander agreed, saying they need tohave a workshop on the landfill so they know what they need to negotiate. Jones said the
landfill is a valuable asset. Commissioners approved the requests.
Suzanne Harris, with Edgewater, thanked the commissioners and Jones for working with
them and helping to resolve the problem.
GOOGLE DESIGNATES SANTA ROSA BEACH
AS FLORIDAS 2013 eCITY
Mountain View, CA: Innovative tech giant Google has named Santa Rosa Beach as the 2013eCity for the State of Florida. The eCity Awards recognize the strongest online business com-munity in each state - the new digital capitals of America. The businesses in these communities
are embracing the web to find new customers, connect with existing clients and fuel their localeconomies. Santa Rosa Beach joins the ranks of Americas leading cities in the digital economy.
Santa Rosa Beachs growth and innovation in e-commerce is an example that other cities acrossthe state can strive to replicate, said Scott Levitan, Director of Small Business Engagement at
Google. Google is proud to recognize this growing entrepreneurial spirit and the role it plays in
creating jobs and sustaining local economies.
BACKGROUND:
Google and independent research firm,Ipsos, analyzed the online strength of local small busi-nesses across all fifty states. They weighed a variety of factors to determine the leading cities andtowns across the US, including the likelihood of small businesses to have a website, use a blog,
promote themselves on a social network, sell goods directly from their webpages and whetherthey had a mobile-friendly website. The winning cities exhibited strong engagement and poten-
tial for growth within the digital economy. For more information visit www.google.com/ecities.
Kerry opens door to U.S. ground troops in
SyriaIn the event Syria imploded, for instance, or in the event there was a threat of
a chemical weapons cache falling into the hands of al-Nusra or someone elseand it was clearly in the interest of our alliesand all of us, the British, the
French and others to prevent those weapons of mass destruction falling into thehands of the worst elements, Kerry told lawmakers, I dont want to take offthe table an option that might or might not be available to the president of the
United States to secure our country.
Prodded on the issue by Sen. Bob Corker, R.-Tenn., who warned that Congresswould work to ensure that President Barack Obama does not use ground troopsin response to Assads alleged chemical weapons attack, Kerry backpedaled
furiously. All I did was raise a hypothetical question about some possibility
and Im thinking out loud about how to protect Americans interests, Kerrysaid. There will not be American boots on the ground with respect to the civil
war. Kerry also assured lawmakers wary of giving their explicit green light to
military strikes against Syria that Obama is not asking America to go to war.
While Obama wants a congressional authorization for the use of militaryforce the same kind of document that set the stage for the wars in Afghani-stan and Iraqand not a formal declaration of war, it seems unlikely thatAmerican observers would consider a Syrian missile on U.S. targets anythingshort of war. So long as we are accomplishing what needs to be accom-
plished, which is to send a clear message to Assad degrading his capabilities touse chemical weapons, not just now but also in the futureas long as theauthorization allows us to do that, Im confident that were going to be able to
come up with something that hits that mark, he said.

A quick switch to mellow music in thecar may make you a safer driver, re-
searchers say.
Promptly changing to soothing music isthe most effective way to calm downwhile driving in stressful conditions thatcould trigger road rage, found the study
published in the Aug. 30 issue of the
journalErgonomics.It was already known that music caninfluence mood and driving styles. Moreaccidents occur when drivers listen to"upbeat" music, possibly because themusic is more distracting or because itcauses drivers to go faster. Downbeatmusic is more relaxing and associated
with safer driving.
However, there were questions aboutwhether a quick or gradual switch from
upbeat to downbeat music was most ef-fective in changing drivers' moods. Toget answers, researchers had volunteerstackle demanding driving conditions in asimulator while they listened to different
types of music.
Participants who switched to more mel-low music abruptly or gradually bothreached the same levels of calmnesseventually. However, those who madethe switch quickly became calm soonerand made fewer driving mistakes, ac-
cording to a journal news release.
The results show that "during high-demand driving, abrupt changes in musicled to more physiological calmness andimproved driving performance and were
thus safer and more effective,
The investigators said their findingscould also apply to office or hospital
settings to encourage or relax listeners.
Other risks include feeling dizzy orlightheaded upon standing, decreases in
white blood cells (which can be fatal), ortrouble swallowing. Tell your doctor if
you experience any of these.
Before starting treatment, tell your doc-tor about all prescription and nonpre-scription medicines you are taking. Alsotell your doctor if you have or have hadlow white blood cell count, seizures,abnormal thyroid tests, high prolactinlevels, heart or liver problems, or cata-
racts. An eye exam for cataracts is rec-ommended at the beginning of treatment
and every 6 months thereafter.
Bipolar disorder is a lifelongcondition that can affect both how youfeel and how you act. It is a mood disor-der thought to be caused by chemicalimbalances in the brain that can result inextreme swings in moodfrom manic
highs to depressive lows.
To be diagnosed with bipolar disorder,you must have experienced a high period(mania). Bipolar mania is described asan "extreme high," or feeling unusuallygreat. Most people with bipolar disorderwhen ill or when symptomatic experi-
ence more lows than highs.
If you're still living with symptoms of
bipolar disorder, you should know thatmany people with the condition are ableto manage their symptoms. Feeling bet-ter often involves a combination of edu-cation, medication, and therapy, includ-
ing psychotherapy, or "talk therapy."
Psychotherapy (also called talk therapy)can make it easier for patients and fami-lies to better cope with disturbingthoughts, feelings, and behaviors associ-ated with bipolar disorder. Talk therapy
focuses on several important aspects ofbipolar disorder management, including:
Recognition of and treatment for
recurrent mood episodes
Management of stress, interper-
sonal/family issues, and regularityof daily activities
Development of problem-solving
skills
Psychotherapy can be used in combina-tion with medication and other treatment
approaches.
Antidepressants have increased the
risk of suicidal thoughts and actions in
some children, teenagers, and young
adults. Patients of all ages starting
treatment should be watched closely
for worsening of depression, suicidal
thoughts or actions, unusual changes
in behavior, agitation, and irritability.
Patients, families, and caregivers
should pay close attention to any
changes, especially sudden changes in
mood, behaviors, thoughts, or feelings.
This is very important when an anti-
depressant medicine is started or
when the dose is changed. These
symptoms should be reported immedi-
ately to the doctor.
Tell your doctor about any movements
you cannot control in your face, tongue,or other body parts, as they may be signsof a serious condition called tardive dy-
skinesia (TD). TD may not go away,

Traffic, Road Rage, and Car Colors:
Sometimes the stereotypes are trueSomeone's just cut you off. It's enough to drive you up the wall.But if you drive a blue BMW and you're a man between 35 and50new research says you're likely to be one of the angriestdrivers on the road The same research, according to a report by
NBC, discovered that the next three angriest motorists are mostlikely to drive Land Rovers, Audis and Subarus. Color also
comes into play. Drivers of blue cars are amongst the angriest followed by drivers of black, silver and then green cars.
Federal jury: N-word has no place inworkplaceeven between blackcolleaguesA federaljury has ruled against an employer who said he usedthe N-word in an affectionate way toward black colleagues,effectively saying the incendiary word is unacceptable at work
under any circumstances.
Rob Carmona, 61, was sued by a former employee who saidthat Carmonas use of the word during a tirade over work-
place attire and professionalism was inappropriate.The jury ruled that Carmonas March 2012 four-minute rant,was hostile and discriminatory and awarded plaintiff BrandiJohnson $250,000 in damages. The jury is now decidingwhether to award punitive damages as well."I was offended. I was hurt. I felt degraded. I felt disrespected.I was embarrassed," Johnson, 38, who recorded Carmonascomments, testified during the trial."When you use the word n----- to an African-American, nomatter how many alternative definitions that you may try tosubstitute with the word n-----, that is no different than callinga Hispanic by the worst possible word you can call a Hispanic,calling a homosexual male the worst possible word that youcan call a homosexual male," Sharpe told the jury.

From Alaqua Animal Rescue
Dear Frank, Ive been writing thesepieces every week for the past 4
years, and feel that people are muchmore interested in using facebookas their information source onAlaqua than they are the newspa-

effort on behalf of the animals.
I want to thank you for your contin-ued support all these years, andwish you the best with The Emerald
Star News.
*We will miss you as part of be-
ing with the Emerald Star News.Thats why I strive so hard to helpout any and all types of businesseswith a need to get the word out.Please feel free to write us anytime

CATSUP AND COZY
By M. Vreeland
Her name is Catsup and yes, its a mysteryhow a cat who is all black except for the
white tip of her tail could have ended up
with such an unusual moniker. Catsup has
been at Alaqua Animal Refuge several
years now. Petite, quiet and a little on the
shy side, she was happy to make a wonder-
ful feline friend in Piper. You could always
find the two of them playing and snuggling
up together in the back Cat Cabin. Then
one day not too long ago, Piper met a spe-
cial someone who whisked her away to abrand new home. Unable to find her best
buddy anywhere, Catsup became very sad.
Cozy, another shy, quiet girl and long time
resident at the refuge, stepped right in to
help ease her cabin mates loneliness. A
sweet Tortoiseshell with gorgeous golden
eyes, Cozy has also been waiting a long
time for her own special someone. Both
theses beauties understand that since they
no longer have that kitten cuteness about
them, and dont possess a repertoire ofamazing attention garnering tricks, visitors
looking for the perfect pet might not notice
them right away. This doesnt mean they
dont long for and deserve forever homes.
Its what they hope for more than anything.
If youre interested in making the acquaint-
ance of these wonderful cats, come to the
refuge any Tuesday through Sunday from
noon until 5:00 P.M. Most likely youll
find them snuggled up together on one of
the high shelves enjoying each otherscompany and the summer sun.

More Menopausal
Women Hospitalized for
Asthma...
Biggest discrepancy in rates be-tween men and women seen during
40s and 50s
Menopausal women with asthma arehospitalized more than twice as of-ten as men who are the same age,
researchers have found.
The findings suggest that early in-tervention is needed to prevent hos-
pitalizations for asthma in meno-pausal women and reduce health
care costs.
"Untilpuberty, boys have higherrates of asthma than girls. Then,during the menopausal years,women's hospitalization rates aredouble those of men in the same agegroup. This could indicate thatasthma may have distinct biological
traits,
"This study reinforces that asthma isa women's health issue," Dr. JohnOppenheimer, ACAAI fellow andassociate editor of the journal, said
in the news release. "There is a needfor more prevention and early inter-vention to reduce asthma hospitali-zation in menopausal women and
reduce health care costs."

DFS Budget Workshop
As reported by WZEP AM 1460The DeFuniak Springs City budget for next year is balanced and they will not dipinto reserves for non-reserve use. The budget, as presented so far, has no increasein millage. The Council met in their final workshop and the largest part of the dis-cussion was on the fire services agreement with the county. There are still two pub-
lic hearings in September.
With DeFuniak Springs adjoining the Liberty and Argyle Volunteer Fire Districts,the three have mutual aid agreements. Anytime there is a structure fire, dispatchcalls out the district of the structure and the two surrounding districts. While all
firefighters have to have a professional level of certification, many in the volunteerdistricts do not always have the level needed for entering a burning building. Fire-fighters with level one can go into a burning building only when they are with thehigher certified firefighter. This need for backing up is why Walton will continue to
fund part of DeFuniak Springs budget for another year.
The need to help the neighboring districts was explained to the council. The DeFu-niak Springs Council said next budget year they might need to talk with the twovolunteer districts about help with funding. The Council was told the two districtsassist DeFuniak Springs as much as they can with trucks and manpower. It was
stressed that all three work together.
By the end of the meeting the Council said the budget is balanced, the millage ratewill not be increased and they will not dip into reserves. The reserves will be used,
but the money will only go to the spending the reserves are designed for. Reservesare usually kept to assure a fund balance that will help with credit, provides a cush-ion in case of an emergency such as storms or large equipment failure and to helpwith future growth and equipment needs. Some purchases that meet these require-ments were moved from being funded by the general revenue to reserves. While thereserves are being used, they are not being used as a loan for the general budget ashas been done in the past. City Manager Sara Bowers said it was the late 90s since
the city last balanced the budget without using the reserves.
WCBCC Lifeguards
Commissioners approved a change to the Scope of Services with South Walton FireDistrict for lifeguard services. TDC Director Jim Bagby asked to not be in the deci-sion process when closing the water. Closing the water is when the county has doublered flags at the beach. Bagby told commissioners neither he nor his staff is qualified
to determine if the water should be closed.
Commissioner Chapman asked about an attorney general opinion on the funding tothe Fire District for the lifeguards. The attorney said the TDC does promote safety tothe tourists and this is why they are allowed to pay for the lifeguards. TDC AttorneyClay Adkinson said they are working on proper documentation to show the need for
the services. County Attorney Mark Davis agreed and said he is working with countycomptroller Alex Alford.
Commissioner Chapman asked why this same thought could not be expanded furtherto help pay for some of the additional sheriff deputies needed for the tourists. Theattorney said this is something the commissioners can include in the marketing by theTDC. Basically, TDC funds can be spent if the TDC advertises that the destination
provides lifeguards or specific sheriff coverage to create a safe environment for visi-tors and their families. Davis said it will take additional documentation to prove the
service that is provided to the whole county can not be provided to the beach area.
Commissioner Comander said she feels the additional deputies and equipment isneeded. Bagby noted Walton bid out the need for lifeguards and the South WaltonFire Department happened to be the agency that was selected. Joe Preston, with the
Walton County Sheriffs Office said they do supplement the lifeguards. He said they
have longboards and respond specifically to the beach activities.

WALTON COUNTY NAMES FIRSTFEMALE ROAD CREW FOREMAN
Back on July 13, 2013, Walton
County named Stephanie Jones theirfirst female District Road CrewForeman. Ms. Jones was promotedto the role of District 5 Foreman
from her position as the Assistant.
Ms. Jones had been serving as the
Interim Foreman for several weeksas the position had been vacated bythe prior foreman. Ms. Jones has
been employed with Walton Countyfor over 17 years. She was firsthired as a General Laborer in April
of 1996.
Stephanie and her crew have been
outstanding during the July and Au-gust rain events. She has without
question proven herself as a trueleader, said Wilmer Stafford, Di-rector of Public Works. We are
proud to have her representing
Walton County as a senior mem-
ber of our Public Works team.
Dear Frank,
I noticed a few of your lime greenboxes missing. Is someone trying toget you to close-up?If I see anything I will let you know.You have been doing this newspa-
per for over 4yrs now. Peopleshould appreciate and respect thehard work you do for the commu-nity.Whoever is messing with your stuffbetter watch out, were on the look-
out to bust em up!
Editor,I commend you for having thegumption to print open expressedfeelings from people. It is still niceto feel a newspaper to read.Your doing Freeport a service thatno one else can touch.
It's time to take action on your own behalf on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. That means no more procrastinating -- read a book or play with the dog instead of zoning out in front of the TV, and eat well instead of eating to feel full.Taking proper care of yourself can be a brave, if not revolutionary, act. The last two days of the week are a good timeto see how you can juggle your schedule so you have more time for nourishment on all levels: mental, spiritual, emo-
tional and physical.
something you've been denying about yourself comes to you in the form of fate. Make an attempt to get the cosmic jokeon Tuesday, and by Wednesday you'll see that this is a grand opportunity, just wearing a slightly bizarre costume.Thursday and Friday are excellent times to take solid action. They don't have to be big actions, but they do have to fall
under the category of useful
Apply yourself to taking judicious action instead of trying to get a million things done at once on Monday, Tuesday andWednesday -- otherwise you'll end up feeling frenzies and getting very little accomplished. By Thursday and Friday,you'll discover a groove that feels comfortable, productive and energizing to you. The more you listen to your intuition,
the more you'll be able to do.
t's important to say thank you -- not just to others out of courtesy, although that's always nice, but to yourself and theuniverse at large for all the loveliness, large and small, that you encounter every day. Use the first part of the week to
be consciously grateful for things like a particularly speedy commute, the joke your grandmother tells you
Make an effort to see the issue from the other person's point of view on Monday. Sure, you may not understand the
emotions he or she is having, but it's important that you acknowledge the validity of them. Tuesday and Wednesday areall about finding creative solutions, hopefully before a situation becomes a problem. Be kind and do a few good deeds
from behind the scenes
A tactic that will make your life easier is to take nothing personally, especially during the first half of this week. Oneday everyone may be singing your praises, while another the world at large is indifferent, but none of that has any real
bearing on who you are as a person. The second half of the week is about looking at the details in your relationships.
What's more frightening than a dream that doesn't come true? One that does. During the first half of the week, you startto see some very big payoffs from all your recent efforts, and that can feel overwhelming. Take a deep breath and slowdown. If necessary, use Thursday and Friday to attend only to small, daily tasks and put the bigger issues on the back
burner.You're in a ruminative mood at week's start, thinking about the relationships you have in your life. On Wednesday, ifyou find yourself thinking about friendships, loves and family members who have come and gone, give them (andyourself) a break by reserving judgment and realizing that there are always multiple versions of the truth. Being so
adult about matters of the heart makes you feel more like yourself
On Monday you realize that there's a big difference between taking action and reacting. The former is calm and caresabout doing the right thing, no matter how it looks. The latter has qualities of over-compensation and worries abouthow other people will react. You have the courage of your convictions by midweek, thanks to this epiphany, and you
do what's best for all parties involved. By Friday, you see miraculous results
A great scientist once wrote, 'Nothing is too wonderful to be true.' Adopt that as your motto. If you can't see the truth ofit on Monday, you will by Wednesday at the latest. True, that realization may be one you have to fight for, but once youcommit yourself to it, you'll see that it's right on. Thursday and Friday are all about consolidating your gains, from the
smallest details to the biggest overview of the big picture.
Be creative about what you consider to be positive events during the first half of the week. Sure, winning the lotterymight be nice, but getting a seat on the bus, a great cup of tea and a long conversation with an old friend actually have alot more impact on your day-to-day life. In other words, being grateful for items that might be considered trivial actu-
ally increases your capacity for happiness.
Call on a good friend or relative for assistance on Monday -- at least one person is just waiting for the call. Sometimes
it's just as sweet to ask for help as it is to offer. If you're feeling down midweek, just persevere through the darkness.You should start to see glimmers of hope by Thursday, and remarkable success after that. Your hard work pays off thisweekend, so you might feel justified in blowing off some obligation and celebrating in any fashion that feels right to
you and your people.

Protest Against Animal Abuse
As reported by WZEP AM 1460Last Thursday morning, about 20 people stood infront of the Walton County Courthouse, holdingsigns in support of stopping animal abuse. They
were calling for justice in a case of animal crueltyinvolving Crystal Sue Esquibel.
On March 3, 2013 an investigation by the WaltonCounty Sheriffs Office (WCSO) began on FourMile Road in Freeport. Deputies were at the homefor an unrelated matter when deputies observed 6horses that appeared to be in poor health. On March4th, deputies returned with a vet and animal controlofficers to assess the conditions of the horses. Fourof the horses were immediately removed and trans-
ported to Alaqua Animal Refuge.
Investigators then began to look further into themaltreatment of the horses, as well as other animals
present at the residence. On March 7th, authoritiesremoved the other two horses, four puppies and one
piglet. Two arrests were made during the animalabuse investigation. Crystal Sue Esquibel, 27, andJames Richard Holzapfel III, 37, were charged with11 counts of animal cruelty, a third degree felony.All of the horses and the piglet were transported andtreated at Alaqua Animal Refuge. The puppies were
taken to the Walton County Animal Shelter fortreatment.
Protest Organizer Stacy Bishop has been followingthe case. She says she can not stand to see an animalget abused. Bishop says the animals cant help itand cant talk and people who can not take care of
them should ask for help. She says she knows timesare hard and the economy is down, but feels theyhave to stand up for animals. Bishop says Esquibel
was trying to sell the horses, try to make money.
Esquibel came before Walton Circuit Judge KelvinWells Thursday morning. The case is continued
until September 3rd.
