HI I'm new to Django and just getting some models going. I started
with a more complex model and got errors so I scaled back to a more
minimalist model to see if I could get that working. I flushed my
database to get rid of any old info and synched the DB to create the
new more minimal models. 

Syncing the database doesn't delete anything, ever.  Probably the simplest way to deal with this is to rename (in the database) the tables that you have changed, then run syncdb to create your new tables, then copy the old data into the new tables and delete the old tables.

If by "flushed" you mean you deleted the old tables (or the whole database), then something else is going on.
