"Perhaps they'll check their speed or fasten their safety belts because of this reminder." But for Diana Lincoln, her husband's memorial would not have the same significance if she had not given it her personal touch. Recalling the day that 53-year-old Charles Arleigh Lincoln died, his cross reads, "Killed here by a teenage driver who was fiddling with her car stereo instead of watching where she was going." His wife punctuates the family's pain by inscribing, "We all deserved a lot more time together in this life." Although her husband's cross, located across the street from Lincoln High School, won't be affected by the policy change, Diana Lincoln said she shared the pain of others who want people to know the names of their loved ones. "I wanted people to know who died there," she said. "It think that it's important that there be a name on it The cross for my husband would not have nearly the significance if it was put there by the state with just a square cross with nothing on it.

"When you make the cross, it's also a labor of love," she said, recalling how she used spare lumber from a project her husband was working on before he was killed. "The act of doing it has a significance in and of itself." en, weathered crosses on the boys' birthdays, some holidays and the anniversary of their deaths, they said. The boys' birth and death dates are written on the crosses, along with a reminder that they were killed by a drunken driver, Midge said. Slate officials seeking a safe compromise Some roadside memorials are rather large and distracting to passing motorists, said Tommy Speights, FDOT public information director. "We're just trying to reach a compromise between safety and sensitivity," Speights said.

"We're trying to make sure they're more uniform and not a safety hazard themselves." Speights, whose District 3 stretches from Jefferson through Escambia counties, said more than 100 memorials had been identified in his district alone. He said the policy change came as a result of complaints by businesses and homeowners who objected to the shrines being placed on their property, he said. Some shrines placed in rights of way also pose hazards to motorists and maintenance crews. "We're trying to identify what's on the state roads and who put them up," said Bob Tulecki, an administra tive assistant with FDOTs maintenance department "We don't know what's out there yet. We just want to make sure we get ahold of everybody that needs to be notified." Tulecki said maintenance engineers would start by cross-referencing the Florida Highway Patrol's fatality reports with memorial sites that aren't marked.

According to the new policy, family members or friends of a fatality victim can make a written request to FDOT to erect a memorial marker. However, friends must have the written permission of a victim's family. A reminder, but within limits The new memorials will be left in place for a minimum of one year. If friends and family members want them to remain longer, they will have to submit a written request The cost of construction, installation, maintenance and removal of the memorials will be the responsibility of FDOT, according to Watts policy statement The new markers will be made of a nonreflective, smooth material, extending no more than 24 inches high and 24 inches wide. They will be painted white and must be durable enough to last one year.

Company says it's committed to local news Anderson said his company will pump "several million dollars" into renewing WTWC, which currently employs 21 people. He said WTWC will break ground this month on a newsroom and building expansion, and the station will be outfitted with the latest equipment Anderson said his company specializes in taking over such "under-performing" stations and injecting them with new life. "We've never had to sell a station," he said. Anderson added that such rebirths are dependent on local newscasts and he said WTWC's newscast will be good competition and an eventually worthy rival for WCTV (Channel 6, cable 9) and WTXL (Channel 27, cable 7) and their longtime local newscasts.

"Local news is expensive and takes a commitment" Anderson said. "That's a perfect fit for our company. We're in this for the long haul." "I wouldn't have signed on if I didn't feel they were committed to strong newscasts. I will miss the state and the people I worked with tremendously. But I'm excited to go back (to television).

Mike Rucker "Mike has played an instrumental role in helping to educate and protect Floridians from the dangers of hurricanes and tropical storms," said Gov. Lawton Chiles. Rucker expressed regrets about his departure, saying his time with the state, "expanded my knowledge base more than anything I've ever done I've got a new appreciation for government" Rucker, 41, said he was drawn back to TV by several factors, including a "substantial" raise over his $53,500 state salary and the proximity of his home to WTWC, both of which are in the Killearn Lakes subdivision. Rucker and his wife, Carolyn, a bank teller, have six children, aged 9 to 22. "I'll be able to go home for dinner between newscasts," he said.
