DFS Council acts on growth By LEIGH STRICKLAND One of the main issue fac- ing the city of DeFuniak Springs is that of growth. Monday night's meeting of the city council saw several agenda items up for consid- eration that related to that issue. An ordinance was ap- proved for the regulating of subdivisions in the city. The revised document has been in the works for several months. Changes from prior city codes include corrections for error and clarification, changing certain require- ments, and a provision for sidewalks. After allowing for public input, the council ap- proved the subdivisions re- quirements with a 5-0 vote. Two new subdivisions were then discussed and given final plat approval. Pinehurst Estates is to be a 59-lot subdivision located on the north side of Walton Road, west of the Stanley House assisted living facility. Larry Laird, of the city's building and planning de- partment, said that plans have been in the making for about a year. All issues with the subdivision have been corrected, he said, and ap- proval of the plat was recom- mended. The city will provide utilities but all other mat- ters, including the mainte- nance of streets will be handled by a homeowner's association. Plans for Hunter's Ridge, to be located south of Walton Road and east of North 20th Street, have been affected by problems with a Gulf Power easement. As a result of this, changes have been made and the subdivision has been replatted. According to Laird, all deficiencies have been cor- rected and the subdivision meets subdivision require- ments. One of the changes to the plans is the addition of 32 lots to phase one of the project, for a total of 57 lots 'in that phase. Like Pinehurst Estates, Hunter's Ridge is to have a homeowner's associa- tion that will be responsible for everything except utili- ties, which will be provided by the city. Both projects received fi- nal approval. Two pieces of property in the Quail Ridge subdivision may soon be annexed into the city. These are located on the west side of U.S. 331 South and are adjacent to current city limits across that high- way. Lots 25 and 26 of the sub- division were requested to be annexed into the city. An or- dinance to that effect has been prepared and a first reading given. The city will advertise for public hearing and adoption to be held at a issues future meeting. Another property consist- ing of four lots in the subdi- vision which also face U.S. 331 South have also been re- quested to be annexed into the city. Three of the lots are vacant and one contains the business Gulf Communica- tions, Inc. The council voted to authorize the city attorney to prepare an ordinance for the annexation. The lots are expected to come into the city zoned residential and then later to be changed to com- mercial zoning. An ordinance for transpor- tation proportionate fair share has been prepared and was given first reading at the meeting. This document deals with the impact of de- velopment on transportation facilities. According to the or- dinance, developers will be required to contribute their proportionate fair share of the costs of road improve- ments and upkeep, reducing the potential for unaccept- able levels of traffic conges- tion. Public hearing and a vote for the adoption of the ordinance will take place at a future council meeting. Another area of growth in DeFuniak is at the airport. The council approved award- ing funds to URS for the renovation of the existing ter- minal building. Airport FBO Jonathan Dunn and John Holland of Air Methods were present at the meeting to dis- cuss future plans for the air- port. Plans include the relo- cation of EMS helicopters from' the South Walton Sheriffs station to the DeFu- niak Springs airport. There was also discussion of a flight school and the possibility of Enterprise Rentals providing rental cars out of the airport. Chief of Police Mike Adkinson addressed the council requesting funds for a system upgrade to the Crimestar Computer Aided Dispatch software. "Timely approval of this request is of the essence," he wrote in a memo to the council, "so as to remain on the schedule set forth for communications center completion." Adkinson also requested that Embarq/ Sprint be designated as the sole source vendor for the in- stallation and upgrade of the Lifeline 100 Public Safety Answering Point. The coun- cil approved both requests. In other council news, the city received a donation of $1,000 from Wal-Mart for Christmas Reflections. City Manager Kim Presnell re- minds residents that tree trimmers, like all contrac- tors, must be licensed and insured. ChiefAdkinson said that there have been three confirmed cases of tree trim- ming scams in the city. I VOLUME 117. NUMBER 50 3 SECTIONS DECEI School board voices dim view of STAR By PATRICK CASEY The Walton County School Board met on Tuesday, De- cember 5, at the Tivoli Ad- ministrative Complex to dis- cuss a variety of items in- cluding the STAR program and school board member salaries. Superintendent Carlene Anderson presented the STAR (Special Teachers are Rewarded) program for dis- cussion. This program has not been a favorite among school boards or teachers' unions across the state, but' is the current rewards pro- gram the state has in place. "The teachers don't like it, we don't like it. I am afraid it will turn teachers against teachers for those who get the bonus versus those that don't. But if we don't do it and use the state money, we will have to pay for it on the local level," Mildred Wilkerson af- firmed at the meeting. STAR is basically a dis- trict performance payment plan based primarily on stu- dent learning gains. The pro- gram rewards teachers iden- tified as outstanding with a minimum five percent bonus. Districts can meet the statu- tory performance pay re- quirement for outstanding teachers in several ways. STAR is the option available to districts this year, for which the Legislature appro- priated $147.5 million. These are four possible scenarios where districts may or may not be in compli- ance with the outstanding teacher component of the law: 1. A district can adopt and implement a STAR perfor- mance pay plan approved by the state and funded with the STAR appropriation. In this case, the district is compliant with the outstanding teacher component of the law. 2. A district can adopt and implement a STAR perfor- mance pay'plan approved by the state and funded with the STAR appropriation, and re- tain a local plan, such as the current performance pay plan, that may not meet the requirements of state law, but that is funded locally. By having an approved STAR plan, the district in this case is compliant with the out- standing teacher component of the law, and the locally de- veloped plan exists separate and apart from the STAR plan. 3. A district can choose not to participate in STAR, in which case it would revert to using its .existing perfor- mance pay plan. Since no ex- isting performance pay plan is compliant with Section 1012.22, F.S., this local plan would need to be rewritten to comply with the law and re- ceive state approval. In this case, the bonus awards would be locally funded and no STAR funds could be used; but upon state approval of the revised plan, the district would be compliant with the outstanding teacher compo- nent of Section 1012:22, F.S. 4. A district can choose not to participate in STAR, in which case it would revert to see VIEW 4-A A GROUNDBREAKING OCCASION. Freeport official's and notables turn the first shovels of earth for the 7,000 square- foot Freeport City Hall project. Freeport starts on new city hall The City of Freeport held a groundbreaking ceremony to commemorate the onset of construction on the new 7,000 square foot City Hall located at 112 Highway 20 West. The ceremony marked the beginning of the final stage of a project that will give the city government more room. The need to ex-, pand due to the continued growth in the area was a pri- mary reason to undertake this project and the United States Department of Agri- culture Rural Development provided assistance in the form of $1,356,810 in com- munity facility loan and grant funds. Rural Development has worked with the City of Free- port on a number of other projects. In 2003, the City of Freeport was recognized for its initiatives in sustainable community and economic de- velopment when it received Florida's "Rural Community of the Year" award. The new City Hall project is further confirmation of the city's commitment to the commu- nity and the future, as it con- tinues to plan for growth. The new City Hall will allow the city employees to serve their current customers more effi- ciently and effectively and provide room for future growth. Due to its location, Free- port has become the cross- roads between north and south Walton County. This central location makes Free- port a convenient spot for families that want to live and work in Walton County. This location ensures that Free- port will continue to grow along with all of Northwest Florida. Bay Harbour mineral rights claim notice filed only to reserve rights By BRUCE COLLIER An inquiry was recently sent to the Herald by an owner of property in Freeport's Bay Harbour, ex- pressing concern about re- ceipt of a "notice of claim" in the mail. The owner was pre- paring to build a residence on the property, and wanted to know what effect, if any, the notice would have. The notice of claim re- serves a right of entry and in- gress/egress easements for mineral rights on land in the Bay Harbour property At- torney William H. Green, who prepared and filed the notice, said that it was strictly for the purpose of avoiding prescription of rights. Green filed the notice in the Walton County records several months ago, sending copies of the notice to prop- erty owners of record, includ- ing Bay Harbour and Bay Harbour Owners' Associa- tion. Green filed the notice on behalf of the owner of the mineral rights, Lamar M. Richardson Jr., of Mandeville, LA. Green said that such notices must be filed periodically to avoid prescription of the rights. Persons purchasing prop- erty affected by such a reser- vation of rights are made aware of this, provided a property title search is per- formed prior to sale. Green said that no minerals have been discovered, and that there are no plans to exercise the rights. FROM FRYER TO FUEL TANK, biodiesel processor con- verts fryer oil to fuel at Walton County Energy Expo. WALTON COUNTY EXTENSION director Bruce Ward, left, warms himself by a stove that burns corn and wood pel- lets. Energy expo spotlights alternative fuels By BRUCE COLLIER A Walton County Energy Expo was held Dec. 13 at the Walton County Extension Office in DeFuniak Springs. The all-day event spotlighted alternative fuels and fuel sources, as well as energy conservation technology. A number of energy creat- ing and saving devices were outside on display, including solar panels.and a biodiesel processor, converting deep fryer oil into biodiesel fuel product. Also operating was a home heating stove fueled by dried corn and wood pel- lets. Lunch came in the form of barbecue, cooked outside the building on the "Full Steam Ahead BBQ," a handbuilt, 2,500 pound barbecue cooker operated by steam power. The cooker was constructed to resemble the engine of an old-fashioned steam locomo- tive, complete 'with dinner "whistle." Designer/builder Jim Cosson said that the barbe- cue took about six months to construct, and features an oven, rotisserie, and "steam table" trays to keep food warm. The boiler is heated by a wood fire, using pecan wood. Speaking at the expo were Dr. Rick Schroeder on biom- ass feedstock, Maik Friedline on "building site to sun," and ,Shannon Vineyard on new technology and cost effective solutions to energy needs. f/ iI Fi2F0F aVT PAGE 2-A Retired educators meet in DeFuniak Springs President-elect Joyce Kelly of Walton County Retired Educators conducted the regular meeting in a Christ- mas-decorated room at the DeFuniak Springs Best West- ern Motel.

The TV is full of ads for toys, diamonds and electric razors. "It's A Wonderful Life" is now in its 869th run on TNT... this month. It must be Christmas. Actually, Christmas is no surprise to anyone living in Walton County. Hometown Christmas has come and gone, the Christmas Reflections lights in the Lakeyard are shin- ing brightly every night, the Christmas Parade has come and gone, decorations adorn the Chautauqua Building. City streets, stores and homes from Paxton to Seagrove Beach are bedecked and bedazzled with wreaths, lights, stars, Santas and The Nativity. For children, it's a magical time. School will soon be out for the Christmas break. Visions of sugarplums dance in their heads as they dream of leaving a plate of cookies and a glass of milk near the tree, with an ear cocked for the sound of sleigh bells on the roof. Oh, the joy and excitement of that glorious night. For parents, it's a busy, harried time, as they juggle work, shopping, wrapping, mailing, baking and holiday gatherings, while tending to the normal comings and goings of daily life. For adults without children, it's a time to gather with friends and family, to remember the reason for the season, the birth of God in human form, the foundation for all Chris- tian religion. For still others, it's a special mix of all these things. In every town and every community, it seems there are always a small group of special people whose mission is to make Christmas as wonderful as they possibly can for as many people as they possibly can. Many times, Faithful Reader, you have heard me marvel at the generosity of the people of Walton County. Whether it's a friend in need or a complete stranger in dire straits, people all over Walton County quickly but quietly come to the rescue. This season is no different. The Walton County Council on Aging is gathering donations for less fortunate elderly resi- dents through their Senior Tree of Hope. They are seeking everything from toiletries, books and magazines to food, gift certificates and pet supplies. These items will go to seniors in communities throughout the. county. Call Jean Harvey to find out more (892-8166). Shelter House is also seeking donations for their Christ- mas Program. They are seeking a similar list of items for battered and abused women and children trying to escape domestic violence. Call Terri Adkinson at 892-5411 ,to find out how to help. My friend Julie Hurst and her caring staff at the Children's Advocacy Center in Niceville have been gathering toys to Editor: Covington County, Alabama, and the City of Opp will be getting a $40 million alternative fuel plant that will begin an employment capacity of 150 employees. The state, county and city officials have been behind the plant coming here, as it will greatly generate a tax revenue for the county and city. It will create shopping centers, housing medical care and business for the city. We, here in northwest Florida, will also greatly benefit from the plant, buying diesel, by-products, frequenting their malls, business and using their medical care. Walton County could have gotten something this big into this county, but it seems to me that they cannot see beyond Eglin Field, tourism and housing. I have said it many times that Walton County is being left behind. Neighboring counties and states are rapidly progress- ing and I simply do not understand why we cannot progress. As a Walton County resident; I am very happy we are finally getting something of benefit, even if it has to be in Alabama.

"Right now, we're too many and not enough." Edwards comes to this revelation after two failed attempts at rescuing his kidnapped niece from her Comanche cap- tbrs. After 'a failed daylight attack on the numerically su- perior renegades, which resulted in the small party of Texas Rangers being forced to flee for their lives, a change of strategy was needed. So the band decided to creep into the Comanche camp at night, and sneak the captive girl out in the darkness. As they approached, the Comanche, alerted by the sound of the men leading their horses in the quiet desert night, promptly grabbed the child and fled. The painful lesson learned by the movie's protago- nist is that the only way his loved one will ever be rescued is if either; an overwhelming force of men surrounds and defeats the warriors, or one or two men are able to catch them off guard. This lesson can be applied to the currently deteriorating situation in Iraq. and the debate over U.S. troop levels which it has spawned As it stands today, American forces in Iraq are both too many and too few. John Murtha is correct in saying that we have established too large of a footprint, resulting in our troops becoming a big target. Although it is completely contradictory, John McCain's analysis, that "the simple. truth is that we do not have sufficient forces in Iraq to meet our military objectives," is accurate as well. Stuck in an unproductive middle ground, our forces are too small to overwhelm the insurgency, but are large enough to frighten the insurgents away from a decisive confronta- tion, which is exactly what is needed to defeat them. Al- though comparisons to Vietnam are tempting, our involve- ment in Iraq more closely resembles the failed French cam- Spaign in Algeria (1954-1962). France responded to a series of attacks on its small mili- tary force, which used its superior firepower to inflict heavy casualties on the insurgents, by increasing its troop strength. The Algerian separatists responded to this with a change of tactics of their own. Rather than confront the now overwhelming French forces head-on, they split up, forming small bands to carry out small-scale terror at- tacks in the cities. The result, for the French, was a death by a thousand cuts, much like the one we are experienc- ing today in Iraq. If we are going to stay in Iraq, our troop levels must change. The first option is to increase our strength to the extent that there is practically a soldier on every street corner. American forces would flood the country, and deny the insurgents an opportunity to breathe. This impracti- cal plan would require many more than the 20,000 addi- tional service members that John McCain has requested. It would also further anger the Iraqi people, and require manpower and resources that are just not worth the cost. If we must stay, then the only real choice left is to follow the example set by modern history's most successful counter-insurgency. During the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960), a British force, smaller than the one we currently have in Iraq, de- feated a communist insurgency, larger than the one we currently face. They did so by operating in small units, which were more difficult to detect, and more likely to be confronted by the-insurgents. When this happened, the results were predictable. The better trained and better equipped British forces took casualties, but inflicted such heavy losses on their enemy that the communists threw in the towel. The smaller force also resulted in fewer civil- ian casualties, posed less of an inconvenience to the popu- lation, and caused less "collateral damage." This went a long way in hindering the spread of support for the insur- gency, Any increase in American troop levels in Iraq will fur-, ther alienate the Iraqi people, and will not be.enough to overwhelm the insurgents. It will only serve to provide them with more targets. Since "going big" is not an option, hopefully the Bush Administration realizes that it has a clear choice to make. It can follow the British example and "go small," or it can go home.

You probably saw them out one cold Saturday morning, smiling and waving to motorists and taking in scattered coins and rumpled dol- lar bills to make sure some needy child can wear a smile on Christmas morning. Caring & Sharing in north and south Walton do their good works year round, but it takes on a special meaning at this time of the year. Our favorite bell-ringers, The Salvation Army can be found braving the winter chills in front of stores and malls all over the county as they, too, take donations to help families here at Christmas and throughout the year. Many local civic clubs, agencies and organizations also do what they can to spread Christmas cheer and share the Christmas Spirit. Even more wonderful than these caring professionals are the people, the friends, the neighbors, the strangers, who reach into their pockets, into their pantries and into their own closets to share what they can with those who have nothing and no else one to turn to for help. No list of angels would be complete without mentioning those indi- viduals within our neighborhoods who quietly, often anonymously, play Santa Claus to a struggling family or a special someone that really needs a helping hand. I'm so proud of you all, so thankful to know you, so pleased you live here and so grateful you are my friends and neigh- bors. My advice to anyone who's having trouble discovering the true meaning of Christmas trying saying a little prayer of thanks for what you have, then try slipping into that familiar red jacket with the white fur collar, fill a large bag with toys and gifts and 'play Santa' to some family in need or a child faced with the promise of a Christ- mas Day with no tree and no presents.

Since no existing per- formance pay plan, is compliant with Section 1012.22, F.S., if the plan is not rewritten to comply with the law and does not receive state approval, the district is out of compliance with the outstanding teacher component of Section 1012.22, F.S. In this case, a district is potentially subject to sanctions, such as the withholding of lottery funds. The board, despite reservations, approved the measure by a 4-1 margin with Mildred Wilkerson casting the lone dissent- ing vote. Wayne Miller, Supervisor of Administration and Operations, updated the board on building projects. "The Paxton gym has its roof on. We now have seven very reputable bidders for Mossy Head School and five for the new Walton High School. The spot survey at Walton has been approved. We will open bids on December 14 on the Mossy Head School and will open bids in , January on the new Walton High School." The board approved a measure by a 5-0 vote to raise the pay of substitute clinic aides to $13.86 (for a current LPN with zero years of experience as according to the current LPN sal- ary schedule) from the minimum wage rate in Florida of $6.40. There has been little interest in the job at the minimum wage rate. This is intended for one individual substitute position. No benefits are paid for substitute clinic aides. It is estimated that the maximum number of days a clinic aide substitute would be needed would be approximately 55 to 60 days per year. The impact cost increase is figured at a little over $3,000 based on the increase from $6.40 to $13.86. School board members set their salaries for the 2006-07 term at the Florida School Board Association's recommendation of $27,496. School board member Mark Davis pointed out that the school board is the only constitutional officers that have to set their own salary. The motion passed with a 5-0 vote. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Walton County School Board will be held on Tuesday, December 19, at 5 p.m. at the Tivoli Administrative Complex. -I,~U*- d- _0 EMl -.

This bill in- cludes a provision that re- quires the Secretary ofVeter- ans' Affairs to conduct a for- mal study to analyze options for a full service veterans' hospital in Okaloosa County. , The study, proposed by Miller as an amendment to the legislation, requires that a report be submitted to Con- gress no later than 180 days after the enactment of the legislation. The study calls for the Secretary to identify and outline various options avail- able to VA regarding the placement of a Veterans' Af- fairs medical center in Oka- loosa County. The report would include the feasibility of entering into a partnership with Eglin Air Force Base for. the construction and opera- tion of the facility; the medi- cal, legal, and financial impli- cations of each of the options identified, including recom- mendations on any statutory changes needed for VA to carry out any of the identified options; a detailed cost-ben- efit analysis for each identi- fied option; and estimates on the length of time and asso- ciated costs needed to com- plete such a facility under each identified option. "I am tremendously pleased that Congress made this important legislation a priority and that it was passed by both chambers be- fore adjournment of the 109th Congress," Miller stated. "The passage of this bill is a giant step towards opening a full service VA hospital in north- west Florida, 'making it ex- ceedingly easier for those who served our nation to get the healthcare they have been promised by the govern- ment." Okaloosa County is in the center of the First District of Florida, a district with nu merous military installations and over 100,000 veterans. The district contains both the highest veteran population and the highest military re- tiree population of any con- gressional district in the na- tion. Currently, many of these veterans and military retir- ees have to drive to Missis- sippi to receive inpatient care. The inclusion of this study in the final bill will force the VA to address the issue of provid- ing timely access to inpatient healthcare for the largest vet- t, ;L ..... y o u. . served. "The absence of a VA hos- pital in the panhandle of Florida has been one of the biggest concerns of veterans in the area," said Miller. "Bringing a full service VA hospital to District'1 is some- thing I have fought for since I firstcame to Washington. The passage of this legisla- tion is a step in the right di- rection and a huge'milestone for veterans and retired mili- tary in Northwest Florida."

Of course, this comes as no surprise since they own and operate Freeport Steel and Framing. "We provide a commercial- grade product built to com- mercial standards and apply this to residential custom- ers," said Lance. The Goodsons have been operating out of a 40,000 square foot facility just west of Basin Bayou for about six months. Although new to the area, the Goodsons have been in the steel business for over 25 years. Their parent com- pany, Southline Steel Indus- tries Inc., is based in Bir- mingham Alabama. According to the Goodsons, there are many reasons to use their product rather than wood. First of all steel fram- ing can be used in place of wood but with no chance of rot, mildew or insect infesta- tion. Also, steel has a higher strength to weight ratio, which allows builders to use less load-bearing interior walls resulting in large unob- structed interior spaces. Initially customers will in- cur an approximate 10 per- cent higher cost in the steel framing package, but the Goodsons point out that that cost is in framing only, not the Great.

THE DEFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2006 DeFuniak Springs man arrested in sexual predator sting Special to The DeFuniak Her- ald from The Andalusia Star News A Florala police officer has been arrested along with 20 other men in a sexual preda- tor sting operation in Flagler Beach, Fla. Todd Spikes, 41, was charged with attempted lewd and lascivious conduct with a child and weapons violations in an operation orchestrated in part by the Portland, Ore., group, Perverted Justice, which posed as boys and girls from age 11 to14 in Internet chat rooms to flush out sexual predators. The undercover group arranged to meet the 21 men for sex at a house in Flagler Beach where officers were waiting. The Florida State Attorney's office also took part in the operation which netted men ranging in age from 19 to 58, most from within a 100-mile radius of the sting. The four-day operation, which took place from Friday, Dec. 8, until Monday, Dec. 11, was filmed as part of Dateline NBC's television show To Catch a Predator. According to Richard Pryor of the St. Augustine Record, Flagler Police Chief Roger Free announced that Spikes and the other men had been under surveillance since en- tering the town. Spikes was among the men stopped by police before reaching the house where he allegedly ex- pected to meet an underage girl for sex. Chief Free said that Spikes' car contained an assault rifle, a shotgun, hand- guns, rope, duct tape and a boat anchor, but refused to speculate on the man's inten- tions. Spikes, who has been a po- lice officer in Florala, Ala., for six to eight months, com- mutes to work from his home in Defuniak Springs, Fla., and drove more than 300 miles to reach Flagler Beach. Florala Police Chief Bruce Maddox said, "Officer Spikes has been suspended without pay pending the outcome of the Flagler Beach Police Dept.'s investigation. He will remain suspended until the case is disposed of through the judicial system or until such time as his employment status is otherwise evaluated by the City of Florala." "The Florala Police De- partment is not involved in the Flagler Beach Police Department's investigation and the details of their inves- tigation is not known at this department. Any comments about their investigation would be inappropriate and could jeopardize their inves- tigation," he said. "The Florala Police De- partment applauds Flagler Beach in their endeavor to stop Internet predators and .protect our children, but, we TODD SPIKES regret their efforts have touched our police department. and community so close to home."

Police warn of contracting scam The DeFuniak Springs Po- lice Department (DFSPD) has been investigating re- ports of incidents involving possible elderly abuse and unlawful contracting in De- Funiak Springs. Reportedly at least one employee of Asplundh Com- pany solicited an elderly resi- dent to cut a tree in her lawn while the employee was working clearing power line right-of-ways contract for Gulf Power Electric Com- pany. The report indicated the solicitor was an uniden- tified Hispanic male repre- senting the Asplundh Tree Company. DFSPD investigators met with Asplundh executive Kenny Cuevas, and were in- Formed that it is strictly pro- hibited for Asplundh employ- ees to solicit or perform "pri- vate work" while represent- ing Asplundh. According to Cuevas, employees are not permitted to use any of Asplundh's equipment, name, or reputation to solicit or per- form "private work," and that doing so is grounds for imme- diate termination of employ- ment. ', However, DFSPD has learned that some local citi- zens did hire some of these employees to perform "pri- vate work" in the past few days. It is a felony, to contract without a license in Floridd. The DFSPD also reminds the public that persons perform- ing such services without a license are unlikely to have any insurance, placing citi- zens and visitors at further risk. Anyone who feels that they or a family member have been illegally solicited or perhaps have already re- ceived services by someone who may have been operat- . ing unlawfully, is asked to call the DFSPD at 892-8511. Tom Gallagher, Florida's chief financial officer, Charlie Crist, Florida's attorney gen- eral and governor-elect, and Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty have an- nounced that Brown & Brown, Inc. has agreed to re- imburse up to 400 cities and counties in Florida approxi- mately $4.8 million for col- lecting undisclosed fees or commissions when it placed various coverages with insur- ance companies. Brown & Brown, a Florida-based insur- ance broker, has also agreed to adhere t6 stricter disclo- sure requirements in its bro- ker transactions. "Brown & Brown has .fully cooperated with our agencies to reimburse cities and coun- ties in Florida for excess fees and commissions it collected and has agreed to fully dis- close all fees and commis- sions in the future," Gallagher said. Gallagher said that the widespread in- vestigation of Florida's insur- ance brokers and companies is positively changing the way the insurance industry does business. "Insurance brokers and companies must realize that the people come first," Crist -said. "This settlement is' an- other important step in elimi- nating hidden charges in this industry." The $4.8 million in refunds are the result of a two-year joint investigation into insur- ance broker activities con- ducted by the Department of Financial Services, which Gallagher oversees, the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of Insurance Regu- lation. Brown & Brown is also paying $1 million to the in- vestigative agencies for reim- bursement of investigative costs. Under the settlement, the broker denied wrongdo- ing- but agreed to reimburse its clients without any formal action taken by the three state agencies.

JOHN BALDWIN educator, superintendent of schools. I'm Just a Farmer, Plain and Simple I'm just a farmer, plain and simple. Not of royal birth, but rather a worker of the earth. I know not of riches, but rather of patches on my britches. I'm just a farmer, plain and simple. I know of drought and rain, of pleasure and pain. I know the good, the bad, the happy and the sad. Pm a man of emotions. A man who loves this land and the beauty of its sand. I'm just a farmer, plain and simple . I know the spring's fresh flow and autumn's golden glow. Of a new born calfs hesi- tation and an eagle's des- tination. I'm just a farmer, plain and simple. I know of tall. pines and long waiting lines. I know the warmth of campfires and the agony of flat tires. I'm just a farmer, plain and simple. I'm a man who loves his job and the life that I live. I'm just a farmer, plain and simple And I'm a reaper of har- vest. I'm the sower of seeds and I'm the tender of stock. I'm just a farmer, plain and simple. I know of planting corn and bailing hay and animals going astray. I live in a complex .world, but my faith guides me. I'm just a farmer, plain and simple. I am a man who works with God. I cannot succeed By ROBIN NEWTON The Paxton Agriculture Center was filled with friends, co-workers, and former students of John Baldwin as he was awarded a 60-year pin to commemo- rate his years of service with the masonic order. Robert Spears, the secre- tary of the Thomas A. McQueen Lodge, # 341, F & M, in Paxton, opened the cer- emony and introduced the guest speakers. Kenneth Pridgen was the first to honor Baldwin, explaining how he had researched Baldwin's life and learned that John Baldwin began his career as an educator in 1943 and worked in Holmes, Wal- ton, and Okaloosa counties. Commissioner Pridgen ex- pressed his deep apprecia- tion for Baldwin's service to Walton County. The bond between the next speaker and John Baldwin was evident as Odon Russell stood to speak. At one time, Baldwin had been Russell's agriculture teacher at the Paxton School. "Back in those days, we didn't have much opportunity unless you got involved with the FFA. Mr. Baldwin took me to Daytona Beach to an FFA meeting. It was the first time I had stayed in a hotel, the first time I saw an orange tree, and it was the first time I had ever seen the ocean." When it was time for Baldwin to move on, he re- cruited Russell to take his place. Russell explained how he did not come back to Pax- ton to take Baldwin's job, but merely to fill a position. Fellow lodgeman Lamar Hayes was present" to honor John Baldwin with a 60-year pin for service as a Mason. Hayes, too, was once a stu- dent of Baldwin's. He re- called fondly the trips throughout the state for dif- ferent FFA events and ex- plained how he has tried to live his life according to the two rules Baldwin had taught all of his students. "First, regardless of where you go, don't forget where you came from," and, "Sec- ond, you can take the boy out of the country, but you can never take the country out of the boy." As Hayes pinned the 60- year pin onto Baldwin's la- pel, he thanked him for the years of service as a Mason and as a citizen and educa- tor who worked on the com- munity, county, and state levels. He also awarded Baldwin a plaque with the poem, "I'm Just a Farmer, Plain and Simple." As John Baldwin gra- ciously accepted the praise, he described the Masons as a special organization; one which changes and then di- rects lives. He thanked his lovely bride of 61 yeas, Monetha, for keeping every- thing at home going smoothly while he was out in the world, doing his job. Just before she asked the blessing over the bounty of food being prepared for the night's festivities, Elaine Hagenbuch, pastor of the United Methodist Church in Florala, thanked John Baldwin for over 40 years as a Sunday School teacher for the men's class. She referred to Baldwin as "the most humble, dedicated Christian man I know." "' -N, .W C'OUNT}" COM..MIISSIONER Kemninth Pridgen.

Have you ever mur- mured or complained about what you don't have or about prayer that has not yet been answered? Possibly you are keeping up appearances on the outside but inside there is a pity party in full swing. Would you act the same way if someone was watch- ing? Psalm 138:1 says; "I will give Thee thanks with all my heart; I will sing praises to Thee before the gods." Those are false gods; demonic spirits that stand behind what people worship instead of the true living God. And this scripture verse indicates they are watching when I sing praises. Uh Oh. That means they also see me when I'm grumbling and ungrateful. Praising God and giving thanks is important for many reasons but did you ever think of its importance in light of who is watching? Revelation 12:10 says about Satan; "for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them be- fore our God day and night, has been cast down." When we praise and give thanks to God continuously, regard- less of our circumstances, there is nothing for Satan to accuse us of. He is silenced and with no fuel for the fire, the enemy's meddling in our affairs is diminished. In sincere praise and thanksgiving God receives all of our heart. That's the least he is due for his greatness and kindness and mercy toward us every day. The next time you start to grumble, be careful. Someone is watching. Come grow with us at the exciting Freeport United Methodist Church. "'- sig0iii].

By PATRICK CASEY Betsy Stevenson scored 10 points and the Walton Braves used a tenacious defense to hold South Walton to 33 points in a 45-33 District 1, Class 3A girls basketball vic- tory. Walton(6-2) raced to a 12- 5 advantage after one quar- ter of play and overcame foul trouble in the late goings of the contest to pick up their first win over the Seahawks since the 2004-05 season. Taylor Griffith scored 13 points to lead South Walton while Tara Watson added nine for the home squad. The Seahawks had six other play- ers score, but none of the six had more than three points in the contest. Walton also had eight play- ers in the scoring column, but Walton got nine points from Casey Perkins and six apiece from May Lane, Chelsea Robinson and Leigh Paulk to outdistance the Seahawks and improve Walton's district slate to 1-1 on the young sea- son. Walton forced 22 turnovers in the contest and held the Seahawks to 11-of-47 shoot- ing from the floor. Game Notes: Walton broke a four game losing streak to South Walton. The series is now tied at 4-4. Walton is 1-1 in district play, South Walton is 0-1. Walton was a perfect 5-for-5 at the free throw line. Walton is off to a 6-2 start for the first time since the 2002- 03 regular season, their last winning year. South Walton is 0-3 against the county's other three high schools after winning the county title last season. South Walton will travel to Walton on Tuesday, January 9. Baker drops Paxton boys 73 By PATRICK CASEY The Baker Gators got scor- ing from all seven of the squad's varsity players as they knocked off the Paxton Bobcats 73-63 in a Saturday night contest played at the Paxton High School gymna- sium. Chad Lawhon led four Gators in double figures with 16 points while Josh Rose added 15. Austin McCart tal- lied 14 points and Stephen Shelley added 13 for the vis- iting squad. Baker's seven- man team avoided heavy foul trouble and got the win by hitting 25-of-57 shots from the floor. The Baker defense took advantage of 23 Paxton turnovers to hold off the home team. Paxton got off to a good start, leading 16-12 after one quarter of play. Paxton trailed 36-34 at halftime, then ran into ball-handling problem as the squad com- mitted 14 turnovers in the second half, allowing Baker to build a 58-51 lead after three quarters. Paxton canned only four shots from the floor in the fourth period as turnovers continued to limit the Bob- cats comeback attempt. Pax- ton did manage to get to the free throw line, but managed only 3-of-8 shooting form the charity stripe in the final stanza. Colby Forehand led the way for Paxton with 20 points while Blake Zessin added 13. Game Notes: Paxton lost Area high school scores -6: their first game at home of the season. The Bobcats are 3-1 at home this season. The game marked the only time the two teams will meet this season. Jeff Bradley is in his ninth season as head coach and has compiled a record of 142-85 at the school. Paxton is 4-8 against Baker over the last ten seasons. Baker had one of the more impressive performances at the free throw line this season, hitting 18-of-24 shots. Baker de- feated PDL and Paxton in the same week, both on the road, and will take part in Freeport's 16-team Christ- mas tournament December 27-30 .. ... .

'Ej I QI "I' THE DEFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2006 Bowden inducted into Hall of Fame By CHUCK HINSON It has been an up and down past few years for 77-year old Florida State University head football coach Bobby Bowden. However, at the an- nual ceremonies where he was honored and inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in New York on Dec. 5, Bowden said he had many more years of being a coach. After a dismal season and a 6-6 record, Bowden had taken many chances on play- ers, staff and plays. His big- gest, many have speculated, was on his son Jeff Bowden.. Jeff resigned from his posi- tion as offensive coordinator Sports a few weeks ago after serv- ing in the position for six years. Bowden senior told a room full of reporters that he wanted another national championship. He said that he wanted to continue to coach. There were 13 other play- ers being inducted, includ- ing Mike Rozier, Emmitt Smith and former FSU quar- terback and Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward. Other inductees included Bobby Anderson, Colorado; Bennie Baldes, Miami; Carl Eller, Minnesota; Steve Emtman, Washington; Tho- News and Notes By Patrick Casey Tallahassee. FAMU High School claimed the Class B state football championship with a 14-10 victory over Lakeland Victory Christian. FAMU(10-4) rallied from a 10-0 halftime deficit as senior defensive lineman Jeremy Thompson returned a fumble 21 yards to get the Baby Rat- tlers on the scoreboard. Johnathan Ferrell picked off a pair of passes, setting up a Richard Watson touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Watson, a junior fullback who led FAMU to the title, fin- ished with 123 rushing yards. FAMU finishes as the best. team among the 37-team Class B classification. The title is FAMU's fourth state championship. The Baby Rat- tlers won the Class A title in 1976, 1977, and 1978. One of FAMU's ten victories&ame in a 19-18 decision over Walton, knocking off the Braves in Walton's Homecoming game. Tallahassee North Florida Christian fell to Belle Glade Glades Day 42-9 in the Class A state championship game. NFC senior quarterback Chris Walley had a rough day as he was sacked seven times in the contest. Glades Day built a 35-3 lead on their way to the championship. The loss spoiled NFC coach Casey Weldon's attempt to win the state championship in his first season at his alma mater. In a battle of titans in Class 2B Pahokee(14-0) de- feated Ocala Trinity Catholic 25-11 to win the state title. Trinity Catholic(13-1) crushed Blountstown in the state semifinal 50-7 only to be shut down in the champion- ship game. Clewiston missed a 24- yard field goal with six sec- onds left that would have won the Class 2A state champion- ship against Jacksonville Bolles, and it cost them. Bolles scored a touchdown in triple overtime after Clewiston settled for a field goal in the third extra frame to pull out a 27-24 win for their eighth state champion- ship. Ponte Vedra Beach Nease eliminated Tallahassee Lin- coln 3.5-21 in the Class 4A state semifinal. The Trojans trailed 21-0 at halftime, but rallied in the second half to cut the deficit to 21-14 against the No.1-ranked team. Lincoln saw their comeback come to an end early in the fourth quarter as Nease quarterback Ted Stachitas got loose on a 93- yard run to up the advantage to 28-14. Lincoln(9-4) could not stop Stachitas as he rushed for 214 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Amazingly, Nease was 'repri- manded and fined $20,000 by the FHSAA on November 7 for offering inducements to an athlete to attend the school but not banned from the state playoffs. The school was already on probation for violations with its baseball program. Pine Forest fell to Bellef Glade Glades Central.39-27 in the Class 3A football state championship game. The Eagles(14-1) were undone by a total lack of a passing game as they were 0-for-5 throwing the football. Pine Forest also went 0-for-3 on fourth down conversions. Pine Forest ran for 292 yards, but allowed Belle Glade 370 yards of to- tal offense. Belle Glade had four turnovers, but still ral- lied from a 27-24 deficit to capture the state title. Lakeland beat St. Thomas Aquinas in double overtime 45-42 to capture their third consecutive Class 5A state title. Lakeland beat Aquinas in the title game for the third year in a row, and stopped Aquinas on 4th-and-1 in the last overtime to claim the title.

Dylan Skinner added 16 points on the inside for the Pirates, but the home team earned the win from the char- ity stripe as the Pirates im- proved to 2-0 in district play with the hard-fough.t win. PDL(4-2) held a 17-4 lead after one period of play only to see Cottondale scored 32 points in the second quarter to take a 36-34 halftime lead. Cottondale went 9-of-13 from the floor during the second quarter rally, but struggled shooting the ball in the sec- ond half. Pierre Spates led the Hornets with 17 points. PDL hit 9-of-14 shots in the second half, but drew fouls on several occasions that resulted in 28 free throw attempts over the final 16 minutes of the contest. "We made just enough free throws to hold on to this one. I'm happy we're 2-0 in the district, but we still have a lot of work to do. We played hard and needed everybody to con- tribute to beat them," PDL coach Stacey Stafford said after the game. "They're very athletic and can shoot the ball, you can't relax against them." PDL will rematch Cottondale on Friday, Janu- ary 22, in Cottondale. Game Notes: PDL has struggled with Cottondale in recent years and is only 2-9 against the Hornets in their last 11 meetings, dating back nearly a decade. PDL won the junior varsity contest 50-33. Stacey Stafford is in his third season at PDL and owns a record of 32-29 with a trip to the region final in his first notes from 10 B passes for an Alabama single- season record 1,014 yards and five touchdowns. Hall and David Palmer are the only two Crimson Tide receiv- ers with 1,000 or more yards in a season. Palmer had ex- actly 1,000 yards in 1993. In addition, Hall set Alabama records this season for most career 100-yard games (11), most 100-yard games in a season (7) and most consecu- tive 100-yard games (5). Damon Nickson, a native of Milton, became only the second player in Middle Tennessee's 95-year football history to return two kickoffs for touchdowns in the same season when he accomplished the feat this year. Nickson was named to the first-team All-Sun Belt Conference foot- ball squad as a defensive back and as a kick returned. William Gay, a senior cornerback for Louisville, made the 2006 All-Big East first team in football. Gay, who played his high school football at Tallahassee Rickards, will play in his fi- nal game for the school in the Orange Bowl against Wake Forest in January. Desmond Gee, who helped, lead Madison County to a 41- 7 victory over Walton in the first round of the 2005 state. playoffs, made the first team on the Sun Belt All-Confer- ence team while playing for Middle Tennessee this year as a freshman. Gee was third on the team in rushing and added 18 receptions for 288 yards. The Greenville prod- uct scored eight total touch- downs and ended the regular season by reaching the endzone in six straight games.

PDL returned all but one senior from last year's 7- 18 squad.

Outdoors with Luke Clausen: A Guide to a Great Day Did you know that when you book a guide in the Florida Keys, it's customary to call the guide the night before and ask what you should bring them for lunch? But what about trout fishing in the northwest? Or bass fishing in the south? Are there unwritten rules for guides everywhere you go? Just like you, I love to fish. Much like many of my fellow Ranger Pro Staff members, even when we have time off away from competition we still find time to go fishing mil, f __.- .. just for fun. And sometimes, just like you, I will book a guide to take me fishing. Whether it's saltwater or freshwater, the objective is all the same: you are paying them to help you catch more fish and/or access to certain water. Don't worry about the little rules though, just make sure you ask the right ques- tions and you won't have to worry about having a bad time on your trip or offend- ing anyone. The things to remember about guides: there are good guides and there are bad guides; the good ones work very hard for their money. While they may know the wa- ter you are fishing like the back of their own hand, fish don't always behave accord- ingly. A bad day of fishing isn't always the guide's fault. But, the biggest problems that occur between anglers and guides have less. to do with fishing and more to do with miscommunication. Here's a list of things you should remember when book- ing your next guided fishing trip: Book early whenever pos- sible. Booking early gives you' a better chance of being able to book the guide you want during the time you want. Trust the guide's advice on when the best fishing is avail- able and adjust your sched- ule accordingly. Get references. Don't ever plan a day on the water with a person you know nothing about. And don't worry about offending anyone: a reputable guide is more than willing to give you some past clients' names. Be honest about your fish- ing abilities and let the guide know what you can and can't do. Also, let them know how much fishing you do on- your own. This will help the guide better a plan an outing for you that will not only help you be more successful but will make the trip more enjoyable. Also, let the guide knowsup front if children will be along on the trip. Determine whose gear is being used and who is provid- ing things like lunches, snacks, drinks and other ne- cessities. Most guides provide all of this and things like sun- screen in the price but better to ask and not regret being hungry and sunburned later. If you want to fish with your own gear, let the guide know or let him make some gear rec- ommendations to you. Don't ever ask the guide to bend the rules whether they are the rules of his boat (like no alcohol on board) or game laws. If the guide asks you to break a game law, don't do it. Determine an exact time and place that you will meet the guide and determine how long the trip will last. Don't tell the'guide what to do, be respectful and helpful whenever possible. Tipping is important. Re- member, these guides work hard for you and should be re- warded accordingly. Standard tip for a fishing guide on a good day should be 20 percent of the day's rate for each per- son on board. On really good days, that tip should be even higher. If you catch a fish of a lifetime, be prepared to give the tip of a lifetime. Your gen- erosity will not be forgotten. Many of my fellow Ranger pro staff members either got their starts guiding or still d6 guide on both fresh and salt- water when not fishing tour- naments. They do it not only for the livelihood that it pro- vides them, but because they love the sport. A great, guide has a passion for fishing that he will share with everyone and that makes them a great resource to have along the next time you want to fish in some unfamiliar water. Ranger Boats Pro Staff member Luke Clausen is the 2006 Bassmaster Classic champion and the youngest angler in professional fishing history to eclipse the $1 mil- lion career earnings mark. i- TI-R'-E-~T J-l-mI YOUR HARD EARNED DOLLAR HERE! I---^I I Troy Smith OSU's Smith wins Heisman By CHUCK HINSON It has been a dream season for the No. 1- ranked, 12-0, Ohio State Buckeyes. Going to the BCS Championship bowl, being ranked in the top spot all season, and their quarterback being celebrated for winning the Heisman Tro- phy this past weekend, have given the Buckeyes reason to cheer. Senior. quarterback Troy Smith locked in-the most votes and jumped ahead in the race after OSU's impres- sive win in their final game of the year over No. 2 ranked Michigan and his flawless game against Texas in Sep- tember when he threw four touchdowns. Now for the Buckeyes and Smith, the season will be complete, with a record-set- ting year if they beat Florida on Jan. 8 in Glendale, AZ. Smith received 801 first- place votes, the second most ever, and 1,662 points more than second,place finisher, Arkansas sophomore, Darren McFadden, making this year's race for the trophy the second most lopsided Heisman vote. Only O.J. Simpson's 1,750-point victory in 1968 was more one-sided. Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn took third in the voting and West Virginia running back Steve Slaton rounded out the top four spots. Smith received 86.7 per- cent of the first-place vote, a WMS Students of the week 12-11 to 12-15 record, and his point total of 2,540 places third in the Heisman history behind Simpson's impressive voting score of 2,853 and that of 2005 Southern California tailback Reggie Bush, who had 2,541. The 22-year-old Smith is the first Ohio State player to receive the award since tailback Eddie George won in 1995. It is also the school's seventh Heisman. Ohio State's win toppled the two straight USC victo- ries that included Bush and Matt Leinart. Smith did not have an easy ride at Ohio State. Only two years ago, when he was a freshman, the NCAA initi- ated an investigation on Ohio State and Troy Smith for tak- ing $500 from an Ohio State booster in the spring of 2004. Ultimately, Smith had to sit out a bowl game and miss the first game of the 2005 season. He heads into the BCS championship game with a record of 25-2 as quarterback for the Buckeyes. Smith also is the first quarterback to. lead the Buckeyes to three straight victories over rival Michigan in 70 years. Besides taking the top honor in college football, Smith also walked away this year with the Walter Camp Player of the Year award, the Davey O'Brien award, and was named Ohio State's Most Valuable Player for the 2006 season. 73% Fresh (Family Pack) Ground Beef lb. 1 73% Fresh (Small Pack) Ground Beef lb. $169 90% Fresh Ground Chuck..................lb. 25 Sirloin $879 Tip Roast lb. $2 Sirloin Tip Steak lb. $309 Breakfast Sirloin Tip Steak lb. $339 Whole New York Strip.................lb. $439 New York Strip Steaks lb. $499 Whole Boneless Top Sirloin ... lb. $329 Boneless Top Sirloin Steak lb. $399 With each $10 food order, you have a BUDGET SAVER special which may be redeemed at any time.

Pickel, beach manage- ment director for the South Walton Tourist Development Council (TDC), said that about 200 feet of beach per day are being restored on the western end of Walton County's coastline. Progress has been aided by the lack of mechanical or weather-re- lated delays. On Dec. 2, Walton County was able to restart its first large-scale beach restoration project after a delay of ap- proximately six months, us- ing the same contractor, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock. The project is in partnership with the city of Destin, where approximately two miles of coastline are to be restored, probably beginning in early April, according to Pickel. Pickel said that at the re- start initial work began in the area of the Mediterranea condominiums in Miramar Beach, progressing east to meet the area previously re- A+ DURING RESTORATION: A view of the same property on Dec. 12, with much sand already in place south of the Miramar Beach-area condominium property.

In May 2006, the half- completed project was shut down by federal. officials due to the death of a fourth fed- erally-protected sea turtle. A smaller dredge, the Dodge Island, is currently being used due to the un- availability of the Liberty Is- land Dredge, the one used before the hiatus. Construction is underway around the clock, with a load of 2,200 cubic yards of sand being transported from the sand source area, Destin's East Pass ebb shoal, on a four-hour cycle, Pickel ex- plained. Sand is pumped onto the beach through a sub- merged pipeline. On Dec. 11, Pickel said work was currently taking place in the area of the Costa del Sol condominiums and expected to reach the Frangista Beach area before week's end. At that point, 4,100 feet to the west of Mediterranea will remain to be restored in Wal- ton County, he said. The second week in Janu- ary is the projected comple- tion date for the Walton County portion of the project. Pickel anticipates that the Destin portion will be com- pleted before Memorial Day 2007. The project is designed to widen the beach by up to 125 feet, raise it by three to five feet, and construct a dune of- fering protection from an eight-to-10-foot storm surge. The total cost to restore' the Walton County portion, approximately five miles of state-designated critically. eroded beachfront, is about $19.1 million, which is de- rived from tourist bed tax col- lections, state grants, and a loan to be repaid by the TDC from future bed tax collec- tions.

The joy and won- derment on.the faces of children at this time :, of year brings a smile to the faces of people young and old.

HOUSING PROJECT to be located on J.W. Hollington Road east of Freeport. Workforce housing plan approved unanimously By DOTTY NST "It's the proudest project that I've ever stood in front of you and asked you to ap- prove," Lloyd Blue told the Walton County. Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on Dec. 12. With a grant deadline looming, Blue, board of direc- tors chairman for the Walton County Workforce Housing Corporation, and his board members had been "under the gun" since being ap- pointed by the BCC in Sep- tember,. creating conceptual plans for a multiphase first- of-its-kind development fo- cusing on providing housing for "essential personnel." Jeff Sharkey, a consultant for the private workforce housing nonprofit, com- mented that the group has an excellent chance of being selected to receive a $5 mil- lion state grant that would lower the cost of the initial 242 planned dwelling units by $20,000 apiece. The grant application is Dec. 15. With the grant factored in, the homes would be expected to sell for $84,000 to '$124,000. They are to be lo- cated on a 393-acres parcel surplussed by Regional Utili- ties, located on J.W. Hollington Road east of Free- port. The project does not in- volve any funding from county tax dollars. Sharkey noted that Wal- ton County has in common with Collier County, Palm Beach County and others the fact that there have been high growth and high hous- ing costs in recent years, making it difficult for work- ers to live in the community. "We let explosive growth and high costs catch us off guard," Blue agreed, "but we're trying to close that gap in a hurry." Eventually, over a five- year period or more, there will be the opportunity for 1,500 to 2,000 dwelling units on the J.W. Hollington Road property, Blue noted. The initial phase consists of 242 homes, a 40-acre school site and a day care center. The conceptual plan was approved as a planned unit development (PUD.) In addition, the commis- sioners approved a memo- randum of understanding in support of the development and a document of strategies detailing avenues of assis- tance to be provided by the county through the planning department. One purpose of the latter document, according to Pat Blackshear, Walton County planning and development services director, is to en- hance the nonprofit's ability to receive the state grant. Blue thanked both hiq board members and county staff for their efforts with the workforce housing initiative. "This is truly the community's project and it has been a community efr fort," he said. A decision on the state grant is expected early next year. While the grant fund,. ing would reduce purchase costs on the homes, plans ar4 for the'project to proceed re! ga'dless. "We appreciate the job you did," County Commissioi Chairman Ken Pridgen told Blue. "This is very important to us," he added. By DOTTY NIST A post-Hurricane Dennis seawall judged to be too far seaward and ordered re- moved by the state within 60 days remains in place as liti- gation proceeds The sheet pile seawall is located at 4961 West CR-30A in south Walton County. State Department of En- vironmental Protection (DEP) documents denying permits for seawalls and other coastal armoring state that applicants have the op- tion to challenge the state decision in an administrative hearing. The applicants did chal- lenge the state's April 2006 decision in this instance, put- ting the removal order "in abeyance." Last month DEP spokes- person Sarah Williams said she anticipated that a date would be set for an adminis- trative hearing on Nov. 30 if the challenge had not been dropped by that time or the issue resolved. , On Dec. 8 she reported; "The litigation for this denial has again been held in 'abey- ance' for a year." What this means is that the matter is "on-hold" and that no hearing date will be set for a year, Williams ex- plained.

ANGEL FROM FRONT Sands.DeFuniak Springs resident Pam Rush has three fos- ter children in her home whose names were on the tree. Rush and her husband currently house five children under the age of four in their home. Rush and her husband remodeled their house to add space, giving them five bedrooms to accommo- date a larger family. Two of the five children, all boys, were former foster children adopted by Rush, and she is expecting their first child, a girl, in February. "I came from a big family and I think big families have more fun," Rush said. Of her willingness to take on the chal- lenges of foster parenting, Rush says she was born into it. Her grandmother and several other family members were either foster kids themselves or became foster parents, so she grew up around the concept. The two foster children she adopted, she had practically from birth, but she said she is making sure they know they were adopted and has used books about adoption to help them understand they were chosen to become part of the family. "My husband is pretty great with these kids. He's just a big kid himself and he gets down on the floor with them," said the 28-year-old Rush who has been fostering children for three years. "Since the kids I have are small, I asked for educational toys, books and music. These things can make a real differ- ence in their development. We get an allowance to provide for basic needs and clothing, but few luxuries, so these things can make a huge difference for them," Rush noted. "I get some strange looks when I'm out with the children," Rush says. "We have three races represented in my house and they are all so close together in age that some people just gawk at me," she laughed. Rush speculated her daughter's potential suitors as a teenager will be closely scrutinized by the band of big brothers. The family expects to either adopt or have more children. Rush says the need is great and this time of year, family pres- sures often bring more children into the judicial system need- ing care. With five children, Rush is at the maximum usually allowed for one household, but in times of crisis may be asked to look after a few more for a short term. "You get a lot of new kids in the system around the holidays," Rush said. Hundley says there aren't a lot of foster parents in Walton County and the agency is always looking for more.

In addition to electing new board members, the council presented the film "Water's Journey: The Hidden Rivers of Florida." The documentary film examines the Floridan Aquifer .that runs under- ground throughout North- west Florida. "SWCC is doing a lot to encourage water conserva- tion," said.Seagrove resident Alice Butela. "This was a wonderful program, very edu- cational and enlightening." The SWCC advocates us- ing more drought tolerant plants when landscaping and reducing sodded areas that require regular irrigation. The film pointed out that eight billion gallons of water are produced per day by the Floridan aquifer. Unbridled development and increased storm water runoff have be- come a threat to the water supply that is so vital to hu- man existence. "I love what the SWCC is doing," said South Walton High School Environmental Science Instructor Pat Murphy. "Most people do not have a healthy enough re- spect for the subject." Citizens wanting to see evidence of the Floridan aqui- fer for themselves should visit one of the many springs in the local area. Two great examples are Ponce de Leon Springs in Ponce de Leon and Morrison Springs, just south of Ponce de leon"We had great attendance tonight," said SWCC member Anita Page. "The film was fun and infor- mative, the subject is directly relevant to our area." After presenting the pro- gram Page donated a copy of "Water's Journey" to the South Walton High School for educational purposes. New board -members elected were Susan Bland, Susan Home, Cindy McClary, Bill Schultz and Sara Steyerson. For more information on the SWCC, visit www.southwaltoncc.org.

Movie Review "The Holiday" a romantic exchange of pace By BRUCE COLLIER The genre of "chick flicks" is booming, thanks to Hollywood's seemingly end- less supply of beautiful young Actors and actresses. "The lIoliday," written and di- re'cted by Nancy Meyers, is a high-class specimen, well- cast and romantically shot. A charming cast of familiar faces keeps the preposterous- ness of the premise more or less in the realm of the believ- able. Amanda and Iris, respec- tively played by Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet, are on the run from guy troubles. American Amanda is a suc- cessful maker of movie trail- ers the kind that always start with "In a world...." and end with things blowing up. British Iris is an editor at a newspaper. Amanda has just broken up with her unfaithful boy-- friend a thankless role played by Edward Burns. Iris* is heartbroken when the un- requited love of her life, played by eternal bad guy Rufus Sewell, announces his engagement to another. By chance, the two decide to run off on a vacation. An Internet encounter leads to an exchange of living quar- ters for the Christmas holi- days. Iris makes her first trip to Los Angeles and Amanda heads for the wilds of Surrey. If you can accept two per- fect strangers agreeing to let each other into their homes, sight unseen, then the rest of "The Holiday" will go down as smooth as egg nog. The women cocoon in their respective hideaways. Iris revels in the California sun- shine and Amanda holes up with wine, sweets, and a pile of books. Fate and the screen- writer take a hand, and nei- ther woman is alone for long. Amanda has an impetuous fling with Graham, Iris' ap- parently wayward brother, played by Jude Law. Iris meets two men, 90-something Arthur Abbott, played by Eli Wallach, and Miles, cheer- fully played by a slimmed- down Jack Black. Arthur is a retired screen- writer, an Oscar-winner from the golden days of Hollywood. Miles writes film scores. While there's no fling for cau- tious Iris, she befriends both men. Arthur charms her with tales from the romantic old days of Cary Grant and Irene Dunne, and Miles makes her laugh with his boyish zest for music and composition. "The Holiday" avoids mak- ing each woman's story a mir- ror of the other. Amanda and Griaham seemed to hog. a great "deal of'screen time. A friend who saw the movie with me suggested it was be- cause Diaz and Law are more "pretty" than Winslet and Black. She may be right. The film takes its time set- ting up the relationships, adding complications, and the usual misunderstandings that threaten to spell doom for the main characters. How- ever, take comfort in the fact that no film titled "The Holi- day" is likely to end badly. This movie was reportedly made with these four actors in mind. British actors gen- erally rise well above their material, and "The IHoliday" is no exception. Winslet and Law are both capable of high drama, and both have done their share of "serious" films. They convey just the right balance of einotion and light- ness, a skill beyond some American emoters. Diaz and Black are getting: used to being grown up ac- tors. Black is not usually known for this kind of low- key acting, and he seems to enjoy the change. Diaz has some trouble putting across SEE .HOLIDAY 4-C : A colorful season of F"I DJTEU S gulf-front events, .- festivals and activities all within Beaches of South Walton.

L (i Throughout the holiday season Americans tend to give a little more. Why not keep that spirit alive through- out the year by giv- ing of not only your money, but your time? It seems at times we try to avoid them by darting out the opposite door of a depart- ment store, or rush to get on the cell phone so we don't feel obligated to converse with them. I am referring to the Sal- vation Army and the count- less numbers of those who donate their time throughout the Christmas season, to help those less fortunate. They unselfishly give their time away from their family members, to ring the bells' .and ask for spare change. With all the hustle and bustle of the, seasoii, Christ- mas 'p'artid; gift buyingg' church plays, cantatas and concerts, school functions, decorating, we tend to let the thought of those less fortu- nate sometimes slip away. We get caught up in all our holiday matters and issues, and forget that there are many who are just trying to scramble enough change to feed their families or to even pay the power bill. Their ev- eryday struggle seems to be depressing so we just put their situations on the back burner until the season is over. Thankfully, there are still those who make it their num- ber one priority during this time of year. Several years back I wrote the story about a good friend of mine and what he did ev- ery year for various charities and his local foster parent home. I am pleased to write this year, he and his wife and three boys, will once again be taking in four foster children, ages four, six, 10 and 12, for the holidays. They pick them up on Dec. 23 and take them to all the family functions, plus give them Santa at their home. This is the same family that Christmas of 2005, took his entire medical staff (he and his wife are both dentists) and traveled to the Missis- sippi Coast to open a tempo- Crestview Cinema 3 Northview Plaza, Crestview, 682-3201 The Nativity Story (PG) Happy Feet (PG) I Unaccompanied Minors (PG) Twin Cities 1047 E.

They saw more than 400 men, women and children over a six day period of time. During their stay, their three boys also helped out with preparing meals at the res- cue missions and helped with pet relocations. There is a family that thinks of everyone else, be- fore settling in to their own holiday routine, one that cen- ters just around them. I have heard of other "feel good" stories that make the holidays bright and make those of us with very few problems all the more thank- ful and appreciative. Though there is not a big homelessness problem here in Walton County, or any- where along the coast, there are those in need. From small children, to the elderly, there are needs to be met. Many times these are sim- ply emotional needs that can be helped by offering your tim, money or just a con- cerned ear. It is surprising to see just how much a person can feel better, after they open up. This holiday season, make sure the elderly have plenty to eat, especially if they have no local family. Also make sure they have a warm place to stay and conditions are fa- vorable for them to remain in their home, if not, open your home to them if just for the day. With those families who cannot afford Chrsitmas pre- sents or a Christmas dinner, open your heart, mind and yes, even your pockets dur- ing this time of the year. There is nothing more excit- ing than seeing a child's ex- pression when he rips into a gift. If you can't give of your money and things are even tough on your homefront, just give some time to volun- teer and listen to those less fortunate than you. It is a chance to witness other people's lives and what they are going through. So this Christmas, let your time be your gift during this holiday season and through- out the new year. One day, life's bad hand of cards might be dealt against you and those you helped in years past, might return the favor and come to your rescue.
