The press was represented by reporters and photographers from sev- eral area news organizations. Speaking for the members of the New Beginnings Church, Melissa Thomas, daughter of the church's min-. ister, addressed the Council saying that the congregation bears no ill will. However. she went on to say that some of the firemen at the scene said that some of the fire hy- drants did not work. She also suggested that the water supply was not adequate. Had these factors nor been present, she said, she be- lieved the building could have been saved. I Mayor Mickey Marse said that the city bought the fire hydrants and installed them so that there was a hydrant within 1,000 feet of buildings served by the Freeport sys- tem. He said that although the city installed the hy- drants, the Freeport Volun-' teer' Fire Department (FVFD) was responsible for use, inspection and mainte- nance of the equipment. He said that the FVFD was sup- posed to test the performance of each hydrant once a year. Marse said that the hy- drant that failed was only about a year old and.it was installed in a six-inch line. He reported that a hy- drant installed in a larger supply line was, "right across the road," but it was not used. He said that city and Walton County firefighters need to know the system. Councilman Earl King said that he understood the operating stem of the valve that failed was broken. He said that a broken valve was not a measure of the supply of water available, and that AFTER ZACK FOREHAND'S resounding two-run homer in the first inning, the entire team came on the field to congratulate him. DeFuniak captures district crown By REID TUCKER and PATRICK CASEY It looked like Friday the 13th was going to be a titani- cally bad day for the DeFu- niak Springs 11-12 year old All-Star team, as late in the game the bases were loaded with one of Destin's top bat- ters at the plate. Then, just when it needed to happen, everything worked out for the youngsters, who, next weekend, are on their way to the sectional tournament in Tallahassee. The game started off with a bang as Zach Forehand hit a two-run homer in the top of the first inning to give the visiting DeFuniak squad a 2- 0 lead. Destin would never re- cover, but they certainly held off any further advances by DeFuniak, as a deep shot to center hit by Jesse Cosson was relayed to catch the bat- ter at second base for an out. Destin's ace 'pitcher Marshall stuck out D)eFuniak's next batter to end the inning. In the bottom of the first inning with Forehand on the mound, Zacl h Carter recorded the first out for DeFuniak, catching a? deep pop-up to center field;, while Forehand got both th( second and third outs as strikeouts. DeFuniaPk went down in order in thi second inning as Destin struck out the first two batters, and got the last out when JpeFuniak popped one up in the infield. The bottom of the second was interriiipted by a power outage, forcing a delay of 20 minutes. Destin used the time to recoup some of their strength as the squad stroked tw o of the three hits that Forel hand gave up dur- ing the game in that inning. With rumnters on first and second, he struck out the rest of the side to end the threat. With DeFuniak's bats re- maining silent after the first inning, it was up to Forehand and the DeFuniak defense to hold the lead. In Destin's half of the third inning Forehand struck out the home team's first batter, only to see the second reach base on an er- ror. DeFuniak's Brennan Orcutt erased that mistake as he caught a pop-up behind second and doubled the run- ner off the first base bag to end the inning. In the bottom half of the fourth inning Destin re- corded a one-out single, but. DeFuniak's John Clenney caught a lazy pop-up in right field for the second out. Fore- hand handled a bunt attempt for the last out to end the in- ning. See CROWN 12-A the system could supply more than enough water'to fight the fire. Councilman Charlie simmons, who represents the Council with the FVFD, said that there should be more in- spections and maintenance. He told the attendees to con- tact their county commis- sioners and tell them they need to fund the fire depart- ment in Freeport. From the floor, doubt was expressed about the condition of hy- drants in the system, par- ticularly those serving the schools. Simmons said that all hydrants would .be checked immediately. Thomas said that many mistakes were made and that the members of the church wanted to see the problems fixed. Marse said he agreed with the need to correct the problems. Tho- mas closed by saying that the church was asking for dona- tions to help their rebuilding effort. In other business, City Planner Latilda Henninger advised that the Freeport Area Council of the Chamber of Commerce could make available community emer- gency response training for employees. The Department of Trans- portation (DOT) no longer al- lows acceleration lanes com- ing out of developments but' it does permit deceleration: lanes. Marse said that if a. developer installs turn lanes for his property that DOT says the developer will have to surrender the property, where the lanes are in-: stalled. It is understood that these issues are still under: review. Henninger said that sh4 would like to find a way tq provide more sidewalks. She said that perhaps the city could establish a fee system with the proceeds going into a fund which could be.used. later for sidewalks. Henninger said that the See FREEPORT 11-A 2008 county budget reverses a trend ASPHALT PLANT DISCUSSED Planning Commis- sion makes improve- ment of road to plant a priority. ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT 4-C 0 94922 73172 2 By DOTTY NIST From $94 million in 2005, to $119.7 million in 2006, to $137.5 million in 2007, back to a proposed $128.1 million in 2008, has gone the Walton County budget. It's said that what goes up must come down, and in this year the State of Florida has taken on gravity's role. The result is a county budget al- most $9 million "closer to ground" as compared with last year's. Due to tax reform legisla- tion this year, Florida's coun- ties are being required to cut taxes back to 2006-07 fiscal year revenue levels. Also, Walton County is one of 17 Florida counties subject to an additional nine- percent cut as mandated by the legisla- ture. Lowering of ad valorem tax collections as a result of the state mandate amounts to about $5.6 million of Wal- ton County's budget reduc- tion for 2008. According to Walton County Fibnance Director Bill Imfeld, the balance of the budget crit is related to non- ad valorem items such as lowered penny sales- .tax col- lections .that fund county landfill operations, a cut in federal I-UD funding, and a reduction in the recreational plat fee revenues that are de- pendent: on new develop- ment. On J.ily 11, the Walton County 'Board of County Commissioners (BCC) exam- ined a draft budget for the 2008 fiscal year and voted 3- 0 to set the county millage rate at 3.3563 mills for the new fiscal year, almost a half- mill redu- action from the cur- rent yea r's rate of 3.81 mills. One raill equals one dollar of ad vaillorem tax revenue per $1,0100 of assessed prop- erty value. The 3.3563 rate is the maximum millage rate Public hearings for official adoption of the 2008 budget will begin in September. allowed by the state for the 2008 fiscal year, Imfeld com- mented at thd July 11 com- mission budget workshop. According to the draft budget, property taxes will fund slightly more than $56 million of the $128.1 million total budget amount in the new fiscal year. The figure for the current year's ad valorem tax collections is almost $60 million, or about $4 million more. This is despite the BCC reducing the county's millage rate by one-half per- cent last September for the 2006-07 fiscal year. ' In 2008, ad valorem taxes will provide about $27.5 mil- lion in, funding for depart- ments under the BCC (down from $38.3 million in 2007), about $14 .3 million for county public works (down from $19 million), and slightly over $14 million for the Walton County Sheriff's Office (up from $12.9 mil- lion). The 2008 budget also provides $300,000 in ad va- lorem tax funding for capital projects. The personnel force for the .BCC departments and con- stitutional officers is to in-. crease by three personnel in 2008, as compared with nine in 2007. County Administra- tor Ronnie Bell expressed his hope that Walton County Sheriff Ralph Johnson would work with him and the BCC to reduce his proposed bud- get. The sheriff's budget calls for seven new employees, in- cluding four new deputies, an administrative clerk, an evi- dence clerk, and a mainte- nance/custodial/mechanic position, along with 5-per- cent salary increases for cur- rent deputies. District 4 Commissioner' Sara Comander said she' would support the pay in- crease for deputies but that adding new deputies at .this time is "not practical." . Johnson responded that the additional deputies are needed to keep pace with crime and traffic problems as the county's population grows, and that the other personnel are needed to avoid his having to pull depu- ties from duty for other tasks required by the state. "If the See BUDGET 10-A PAGE 2-A THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 19, 2007 Commissioners resist "dumping the dump" By DOTTY NIST It might be said that there is gold in a dump or landfill, not literally but in terms of value and the way it serves the community. Recently the representa- tive of a waste management company had approached the Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) to inquire if the county would consider selling the county landfill property to be operated privately by the company. The commissioners directed staff to investigate the possibility and whether or not it would be of benefit to the county and the public. A public workshop was de- voted to the topic on July 10. Engineer Aaron Warren of Walton County Public Works had researched the pros and cons of selling the landfill property and provided his re- port. The commissioners had also anticipated a presenta- tion by Bart Beagly of the waste management com- pany, Emerald Waste Sys- tems, on their proposal. How- ever, Beagly was not present. George Ralph Miller, a local attorney representing the company ownership, was present but provided only brief remarks at the end of the workshop. Warren noted that, on the positive side, the sale of the landfill would be expected to provide a large sum of money for the county, representing a "rather large" positive im- pact on the budget. He re- ported that the county has over 1,261 acres attached to the landfill. He esti- mated that operation of the landfill would provide a $38 million annual gross revenue for a private owner, plus roy- alties that could be charged for tipping fees. This would be if a private owner set up a regional facility for house- hold garbage as the company interested in the purchase is proposing to do, he ex- plained. The rate that could be charged per ton of house- hold garbage would be $45 per ton, Warren said. Cur- rently household garbage is not kept at the county land- fill but is shipped out to an- other county. Warren said the county could also consider setting up a regional facility but that it According to Warren, the two main issues to be consid- ered'by the commissioners were: "Do we want Wal- ton County to become a regional dumping facility?" and "Who do we want managing the environmental impact associated with the landfill?" . would be necessary to care- fully weigh the decision and consider potential environ- mental impacts. Warren also noted that, with the landfill under county ownership, the county is eligible for certain grants, such as one recently received to fund recycling trailers. He said that having the landfill under private ownership would make the county ineligible for such funding. Warren also saw an ad- vantage in the current situ- ation in which Walton, County employees, most of whom live in the area and therefore have a keen con- cern, are the ones respon- sible for management of any ITWICE TRE ICI GETTING YOUR MONEY'S WORTH? Not quite.

Also, currently the county does not accept waste from other areas or states, he said, and this ]might not be the case with the landfill under private ownership. Warren said that ,thanks to county ownership, of the landfill property, space is maintained for emergency disposal of materials as in the case of storm impaLcts. According to Warren, the two main issues to be consid- ered by the commissioners were: "Do we want Walton County to become a regional dumping facility?" and "Who do we wan t managing the environmenAtal impact asso- ciated with ihe landfill?" District 41 Commissioner Sara Comartder asked War- ren how lo ng the landfill property would be sufficient for Walton County's needs under county ownership.. Warren responded that the time frame would be un- til the days of "our grandkids' grandkids...t.he foreseeable future." He said that the property wou lid likely "fill up fast" if it were sold. Warren commented that there could also be problems if the county sold the property and later wanted to getl; back into the landfill business. "In whose b, ack yard would we put it?" he asked. District 3 Commissioner Larry Jones recalled that the county had previously put in a lot of time an d effort "clean- ing up" long-standing envi- ronmental issues at the land- fill. He said that in his opin- ion, starting to bury house- hold garbage there would be "a step backward." He sug- gested that the commission refrain from further consid- eration of the landfill sale proposal. "There is an adage that if it's ain't broke, don't fix it," commented District 4 Com- missioner Sara Comander. To County Commission Chair Ken Pridgen, the cen- tral consideration was the advantage of the county re- taining control of the landfill. District 5 Commissioner Cindy Meadows found it "dis- concerting" that someone from Emerald Coast Waste Systems had not been in at- tendance to provide a presen- tation at the specially sched- uled workshop. Attorney Miller did not ex- plain why no one was present but requested time for his cli- ent to respond to Warren's presentation. He said he believed his cli- ent would take issue with some statements in Warren's report. He added that he be- lieved the county would be in- terested in the "revenue stream" that would be pos- sible through sale' of the prop- erty.

There the officers noticed a man behaving suspiciously, standing by the building's air conditioning units. The man was described as black, wearing work gloves and sweating profusely. There appeared to be a small amount of blood on his right arm. Investigation revealed that the copper connection lines to the building's air conditioning compressors had been broken and removed. The man, later identified as Mathes Edward Howard, 52, of DeFuniak Springs, reportedly admitted to stealing the missing copper. The broken copper is believed to have caused the injury to Howard's right arm. Howard later led the officers to a nearby location where he had stored some copper pipe, reportedly for removal and sale. Howard was arrested for felony criminal mischief and misdemeanor theft. The damages caused by Howard's actions were estimated to be about ::;, 111(.

The building has come under scrutiny of late for sev- eral reasons, one of which Smith had as her principal point: the cost effectiveness of maintaining the building. Councilman Joe Melton said, "We're losing money on that building, bad. I'm not saying we need to make a lot of money, but we need to break even; at least pay the light bill." Mayor Smith said the rea- son behind the shortfall is partly due to the light bill, which usually runs between $120 and $220 per month. The various bills incurred by heavy use of the building are usually absorbed by the rent charged to use it, but lately, several non-profit organiza- tions have had their rents waived by the Council. Melton said that this was done because of "the good- will it brings to the city." Councilman Bill McRae ex- plained that even when the full rate was charged, the cost of renting the building is lower than many other comparably-sized buildings for rent in the tri-city area. Several plans were quickly put forth as how best to offset these costs, includ- ing new cleaning fees. Bill Courtney, who also spoke at last month's meeting, again offered his services to the Council. Coucilman McRae facilitated the bulk of the dis- cussion. Courtney, who has cleaned the agricultural building in the past, said that he would furnish the sup- plies needed and would charge the council $450 per cleaning, twice per year. As the going rate came to be just above $1,000, the savings of roughly $200 were enough for the Council to consider the proposition. As there was no pre-existing contract with the current cleaner and there was no legal necessity to ad- 'vertise for a job under $1,000, Courtney was unani- mously selected to handle cleaning duties. Councilman Bobby Kemp said of Courtney's work in the past, "I've heard a lot of good reports," a sentiment shared by fellow council member Anne Sexton who recently came from the agri- cultural building, "It looks good, really good." The other proposed idea to limit operational costs of the building was simply to in- PAXTON MAYOR Wanda Smith (R) talked to Town Council members about ways to cut their overhead by raising the thermostat. The cost of building maintenance was putting the city's main rental building in the red. crease the temperature of the thermostat. According to Mayor Smith, the building has sometimes been found to have been running for sev- eral days at as low as 70 de- grees. The Council concluded they would keep the tem- perature between 75 and 80 degrees, and at the next months meeting, reassess the decision in light of the bill. The one option not consid- ered was increasing the rental rates for users. "If you charge too much no one will want to use it," Smith said. Paxton Town Council estab- lishes Welfare Committee By REID TUCKER Councilwoman Jenice Armstrong reported that the Walton County Council on Aging has established a com- mittee, of which she was in- cluded, that would be respon- sible for determining what services elderly community members would like to be changed or added. "Several changes may not be good," Armstrong said. "Things may become harder for older people." For example, of the five el- der citizens in Paxton who participate with the Council on Aging, only two will be eli- gible now, due to their dis- tance from the Council's cen- iter of operations. It was sug- gested that the Town Coun- cil write a letter to the re- cently-formed committee showing their support for the group. "We need your sup- port in general," Armstrong said. After a motion was made to appoint the mayor as the committee's representative with the Paxton Town Coun- cil, Armstrong suggested that a Paxton-specific com- mittee be formed for the pur- pose of addressing two ma- jor areas of concern, the first being welfare of the citizens and the second relating to Paxton High School's recent nomination as a hurricane shelter by the Walton County Emergency Operations Cen- ter. The question remains as to who will take control of maintenance of the school in the event of it being used as a shelter and who will be in charge. Predicting the argu- ment between the school board and EOC about man- agement of the school, McRae said, "We'll have to help ourselves." He suggested that the school would need emer- gency communication equip- ment and power, and not least of all, leadership train- ing. Councilman Kemp agreed, saying, "Now is the time to think about it. This will fall on our shoulders." It was the general consensus of the Council that the bulk of EOC's resources will sent south of the bay. In response to these mounting concerns, the Council voted to establish a hurricane preparedness com- mittee. Citizen Robert Kitch- ens said, "The people of Pax- ton would almost be angry if we didn't do this." The com- mittee, consisting of five people, will be established at the next Town Council meet- ing. In other Council news, Councilman Melton ex- plained that the new gym currently under construction at Paxton High School has been correctly hooked up to the sewer system, complete with a new crew and inspec- tor working on the operation. "This inspector is more con- cerned with the problems we've been having," Melton said. Councilman McRae ex- pressed some concern on his part regarding the Dixie Youth League. "There's a lot of consternation and misun- derstanding," he said. Appar- ently, said McRae, "the word isn't getting out to the people" about the Council's support of the Dixie Youth League's endeavors. McRae asked that the mayor go be- Recreation advisory board to meet The City of DeFuniak Springs will hold the first Recreation Advisory Board meeting on Tuesday, July 24, 2007 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, 71 U.S. 90 West, De- Funiak Springs, FL. fore the Little League Board upon their return and ask, "If $25,000 is supporting the little league or not." A late-comer to the meet- ing, Tim Seay had a quick report for the Council on the status of construction of the new football facility.

PAGE 4A EDITORIAL * PERSONAL COMMENTS * LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor's Comment By RON KELLEY The Jewel of the Panhandle It's a view I never tire of seeing. The centerpiece of De- Funiak Springs is the Lakeyard. It's the kind of place that looks entirely different, depending on your perspective, the weather and the time of day. I've seen it in the morning mist, the evening fog, during sunshine, rain and even snow. I've taken hundreds of pictures of the place and no two pho- tographs are exactly alike. It's been a special place for generations of people, resi- dents and visitors alike. Through the years, the town fa- thers have kept a close eye on this jewel of the Panhandle and faithfully preserved it in near pristine glory. This big pond is the reason for the town's existence. It was this lake that first captured the eye of that fateful railroad survey party. Mr. Chipley was so enamored of the place, the rail- road line was forever detoured from its straight-line course from Pensacola to Tallahassee and Jacksonville just to run past its quiet shores. If the jewel that is the Lakeyard can be said to have a crowning glory of its own, then that must surely be the Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood. Since Wallace Bruce had the stately building constructed on the western shore of Lake DeFuniak, it has shaped the destiny of this town, hosted the Chautauqua Winter Assembly, countless plays, musical performances, concerts, school functions and sport- ing events and stands at the very heart of all that makes this place unique. Like most folk, I was delighted to see the DeFuniak Springs City Council approve some major repairs and res- torations for the building and the Herald-Breeze chronicled this process for our readers, near and far. The City Council is planning a re-dedication service to mark the completion of the project and I planned to attend. So imagine my shock as I did something I've done a mil- lion times in my life I drove past the Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood. But this time, I saw something I had never seen before in all my trips around Circle Drive. There are four LARGE, shiny, copper-colored stovepipes running down the front of the building as some part of an elaborate gutter system along the second story roof line. It looks hideous ugly beyond my limited skills and powers of description. First, there never was a gutter system before, but if one were needed, WHITE might have been a good color, instead of this copper-waiting-to-turn-green look. Further, any first-- year draftsman would have run the stove pipes along the roof line around to the side of the building where the WHITE stovepipes could then trail down the side and send the wa- ter harmlessly away to either side of the structure in- stead of draining down onto the front sidewalk. It looks like something the Clampetts put up. Helloooo! Someone's asleep at the wheel over at City Hall again. The Hall of Brotherhood is a landmark, an icon repre- senting more than a structure. It represents an ideal and, frankly, I like the way the front of this historic building has always looked. I don't know who thought this was a good idea or who approved it, but they must be related to the guy who convinced Coca-Cola to ditch the classic formula and market New Coke or else to the guy who told young Elvis Presley that he should go back to driving trucks for a living. ' After careful analysis, I must respectfully suggest that somebody get that inept, inelegant, ungraceful, unsightly, unnecessary disfigurement down off that building.

I am a native son of Walton County, Paxton to be exact, and I am a veteran of multiple theaters of "conflict." I am currently assigned to 3rd Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division out of Fort Lewis, Washington, and we are currently on our second tour in Iraq. I have over 18 years of service behind me and I plan to stick around for at least another 10. My family and I have endured multiple deployments, both here in Iraq and in other theaters. Since September 11, I have been away from my wife and children for over three of those six years. My comrades and I have persevered through good times and bad, moving about the country dealing with "problem areas," living wherever there is room for us. We wear, on average, 50 pounds of body armor, equipment, and amino in 120+ degree temperatures for 8-12 hours a day. We risk our lives for each other and the people of Iraq while representing our country, the American people and our way of life a way of life that the average Iraqi would literally die for, because the average Iraqi lives in an incredibly poor, substandard environment, one that the poor- est American couldn't come close to rivaling. While we took on this job (I call it our job because that is what we all voluntarily signed up for and we approach it from that perspective) because of Saddam's WMDs, we have a greater responsibility as human beings to help those who can- not help themselves. I can understand why Mr. Holder thinks the way he does about the "war," as he so frivolously puts it, but ignorance is not an excuse. He is privy to an infinitesi- mally small amount of what goes on frdifi day. to day here in Iraq. Moreover, the average American will only see what the' mass media wants them to see; tragedy achieves higher rat-, ings than success stories. However, I will give him a second chance and challenge him to read a couple history books. Wars are an ever-evolving thing and will never be what they used to be. WWII was unlike WWI, Korea was unlike WWII, and Vietnam was nothing like any previous war. Hence, Iraq is very much unlike any other conflict in our Army's his- tory. We fight against a cunning and determined enemy com- posed primarily of religious fanatics and former regime ele- ments. They are deathly afraid of democracy and freedom in Editor, I am writing about an issue that has gone unaddressed for too long that of the perpetually chained or penned, so-called "outside" or "backyard" dog. There is no sadder sight than these outcast, forlorn, for- gotten animals, relegated to the status of lawn ornaments and virtually ignored by the family. Many chained or penned dogs are seriously neglected. They lack fresh, unfrozen water, adequate housing, hygiene and the most basic veterinary care, including vaccinations required by law. Every winter such dogs are found frozen to death. At other times of the year, they may be left to starve until they die. Chaining is not only inhumane for dogs, but has taken a severe toll on this nation's children. In the period from last October until this month, there have been at least 17 chil- dren killed or seriously injured by chained dogs across the country. Chained dogs, unsocialized with humans, can be- come very territorial of their tiny space, and any two-year- old who wanders into this space can be attacked and killed before adults can intervene. A recent attack in July of 2004 lead to the death of two- year-old Patricia J. Anderson in Cook County, Georgia. Patricia was attacked and killed by a bulldog-mix chained behind the house of a family friend. Furthermore, researchers are confirming the link between animal abuse and neglect and abuse and neglect of children and perpetration of future crimes. Austria is the latest nation to ban the chaining of dogs, completely prohibiting the practice. Connecticut is the first state in the nation to limit chaining, and Hawaii currently has a bill in committee. There are at least 50 communities or counties in at least 26 states with limits on chaining. Our state needs to be a part of this growing movement to elimi- nate chaining of dogs. The wording of model legislation and a letter to send to state representatives can be found by visiting the website www.dogsdeservebetter.com. Kathy Walker DeFuniak Springs Editor, Once again, the Walton County Commissioners have stepped up to show leadership under adversarial conditions. The parking situation on old Highway 98, Scenic Gulf Drive, for those of you that have moved here recently, is one that has been going on since I visited the area in the late '70s. It has only gotten worse as the area has become more popular. Now with a true parking plan, enforcement and control can be the new beginning. We can control where people walk on the dunes and get serious about recovery of the area. True leadership was once again exhibited as the commissioners examined the whole picture and realized that a comprehensive parking solution would best serve all of the residents and visitors to the world's most beautiful beaches. Robert Nelson DeFuniak Springs Iraq and will stop at nothing to insure it does not exist here. They kill their own fellow citizens who do not. share their radical views much less support them. They kidnap men, women, and children in their sleep and hold them for ran- som in order to collect money to finance their operations. How is that history book coming along, Mr. Holder? Those who are ignorant of the past are forever condemned to re- peat it. To date, 3,584 of my brothers- and sisters-in-arms have made the ultimate sacrifice and over 15,000 have been seri- ously wounded (loss of limb, eye site, brain damage). Ad- vancements in body armor and medical care are such that an incredibly high number of soldiers are not only surviving wounds that would have killed them during the Gulf War, the vast majority of them return to duty within a day or two. During the Gulf War, if you were shot in the chest with an AK-47, your name would be on a memorial somewhere. Now, thanks to technological advancements, soldiers are "shak- ing off" high-powered rifle shots and killing or capturing their attackerss. Make no mistake about it this war is the likes of which the American people have never witnessed, but it is definitely a war! I wonder if Mr. Holder would have the same perspective if he were in our boots, the boots of the soldiers that actually carry this burden. I also wonder if Mr. Holder and those that share his point of view know that less than one percent of the American population is bearing this burden. I also would venture to say that the majority of the American public does not even personally know a soldier and I will not even ven- ture'to;guess how few are even related to one. ..., I will end this letter by saying that victory has been achieved on our end. Now we need the American people to stand up and declare our victory in the states. We spoiled you with the Gulf War. You called it a war but, it was more akin to a large battle. Be patient and continue to support us, that is all that we ask of you. We will continue to do the heavy lifting, Mr. Holder. You stay there and hold down that couch for us. Chief Warrant Officer Bill Jones Diyala Province, Iraq Editor, I see where the Walton County Commissioners plan to cut funding for The Council on Aging and the Senior Meals program, somewhere between $25,000 and $75,000. I suppose they are cutting this program because there is no money left in the Widows and Orphans Fund. I was pleased to see that Commissioner Cindy Meadows took a stand for Walton County seniors and The Council on Aging. Even though she was a lone voice she was a strong voice. I hope she will continue to stand against four big strong men (that's a joke) and take even a stronger stand? Even $25,000 is too much to cut from the senior meals programs. I believe the senior programs in Walton County are his- torically underfunded. Consider the delays in getting the Se- nior Center funded as an example. Many seniors already feel they are unwanted, forgotten, and that they have no voice. Why can't you, our commissioners, put some projects and purchases on hold until the county income is stabilized; as a way to continue funding The Council on Aging and their meals programs? For the county to postpone the purchase of new furnishings or road equipment is no big deal. However, for one of our seniors to miss a meal and a time of fellowship around the table is a very big deal. Just for once, let's all (and more specifically, our commissioners think of our se- niors first. They have been an afterthought long enough.

If ~Z~7T I W II ; I L THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 19, 2007 DeFuniak Springs Police arrest fugitive WANTED IN ALABAMA is Bertrun Lopatrice Milline, arrested in DeFuniak Springs. On July 12, DeFuniak Springs Police (DFSPD) ar- rested a fugitive wanted by Alabama authorities. The Daleville, AL. Police Depart- ment had informed DFSPD that Burtrun Lopatrice Milline, 29, had outstanding warrants for child abuse and robbery, originating from the Daleville Police Department, as well as several felony war- rants out of Dale County, AL. Milline had in the past used an alias of Antonio or An- thony Baker. Milline had re- cently resisted arrested and escaped from Dale County law enforcement officers, and was reportedly likely to be possession of a firearm. The Alabama authorities sus- pected that Milline Was stay- ing in a motel in the DeFu- niak Springs area. Members of the DFSP pa- trol and investigation divi- sions searched for Milline by visiting area motels, finally determining that Milline had been staying at the Adams Motel since July 10. While DFSP officers were attempting to take Milline into custody, one DFSP Of- ficer approached the outside rear of the motel room and witnessed Milline escape from inside through a small rear window that faced the back of the property. Milline fell to the ground, landing within inches of an officer. Walton County Fire Rescue was called to the scene and gave Milline first aid for in- juries caused by breaking through the glass window. After being treated, Milline was transported and re- leased to the Walton County Department of Corrections Facility in DeFuniak Springs. Dale County A- thorities were notified to re- trieve Milline for extradition back to Dale County. New sheriff's office opens The Walton County Sheriff's Office relocated on July 17 to its new building, at 752 Triple G Road, north .of DeFuniak Springs.

Peautd 1 PAGE 8-A WALTON COUNTY SHERIFF'S REPORT I '' I THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 19, 2007 Hall of Brotherhood Foundation - to install elevator The executive board of the Chautauqua Hall of Brother- hood Foundation, Inc. met on June 28, 2007 to further dis- cuss plans to raise funds for the installation of a much- needed elevator in the exist- ing building on Circle Drive. The Foundation was created in 2003 as a non-profit orga- nization dedicated to the res- toration of the Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood. Recent renovations have refurbished the outside of this icon of DeFuniak Springs. Because of the un- safe condition of the stairs inside the building, many are denied access to the second floor, which has a kitchen and more meeting rooms. An elevator would allow for more use of the building as a gathering place and venue for activities. It was decided that $40,000 is needed to accomplish this goal and that a fundraising campaign would begin by asking for donations. Donors giving $100 or more will be honored on a plaque placed within the building The cat- egories for giving are bronze donor-a gift of $100 to $500, silver donor-a gift of $501 to $1,000 and gold donor-any gift above $1,000. Smaller donations are also gratefully accepted. Donations can be sent to The Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood Foundation, Inc. at P.O. Box 1, DeFuniak Springs, Florida 32435.

This is particu- larly important for employ- ees in life-saving and first re- sponder roles to ensure that Walton residents and visitors receive the best possible ser- vices in emergency situa- tions. On Friday, July 13, Battal- ion Chief Danny Fureigh, Lt. James McMillan, and Firefighter/EMT Scott Cory of Walton Fire Rescue trained on self rescue and pumping evolutions at Fire Station 7 in Fort Walton Beach in joint training with Okaloosa County Special Operations. Crews were trained in ad- vanced self rescue proce- dures including bailing out of a window head first down a ladder, bailing out of a two story window using just a tool and some rope, as well as rescuing downed fire- fighters by removing them out a window and up and down stairs. BUDGET F population stopped, I could do what you want," he said. "All services are not cre- ated equal," Bob Hudson of the Walton County Taxpay- ers Association (WCTA) re- marked in support of Johnson's budget requests. Hudson said that the key ser- vices identified as important by 876 local residents and property owners surveyed by the WCTA were roads and road maintenance, law en- forcement and emergency medical services. "Don't dam- age critical services," Hudson urged. "If everything else goes away, you've got to have law and order," Bonnie McQuiston, also of the WCTA, stated. The training also provided an opportunity for several pumping evolutions with the new Engine 10 that has just been received by Walton Fire Rescue. This engine will be stationed at the Tri-Village Fire Station in Choctaw Beach. According to Chief Fureigh, all the participants performed extremely well in the high heat, and gained much from the training. Other county employees I.,' ONE OF THE firefighters shown exiting through win- dow. ROM FRONT "Let's support the sheriff's department...these people are living on starvation wages," J.B. Hillard agreed. District 1 Commissioner Scott Brannon emphasized that the commission did not want to send the message that the BCC does not sup- port the existing deputies, but he found it to be reason- able for the sheriff to provide a breakdown of expenses for salary increases and the cost of adding the new personnel. The draft 2008 budget had called for elimination of fund- ing to the Economic Develop- ment Council of Walton County. $77,000 in county funding had been provided to the organization in 2007.

On Thursday, July 26, Walton's Public Works Divi- sion employees will all at- tend special training in en- vironmental issues that are crucial to their work around the county. In a one-day spe- cial training stand-down, the county's largest division of 177 people will meet in the Walton County Extension Services facility on North 9th Dr. Stacey Tempkin, D.O. Tues., Wed., Thurs.' 7:30 am 4:30 pm Fri. 7:30 am 2 p.m. Street in DeFuniak Springs. The training sessions will be hands-on with attendees divided into four groups to maximize this educational opportunity. Each training session will also be video taped for refresher training in the future and for new employee training. Topics will include current county policy review: policy violation and consequences; erosion and sediment control procedures; wetlands recog- nition and working around wetlands; identification and control methods for exotic or invasive plants; and the county's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Sys- tem (NPDES) responsibili- ties. The NPDES program regulates point source dis- charges of stormwater into surface waters of the state of Florida from certain munici- pal, industrial and construc- tion activities. Instructors and speakers for this day-long training in- clude Laura Pennington, Lyle Seigler, and Allen Brown from Walton Public Works; Julie Terrell, Alison McDowell, and Lauren Nowling from Choctawhat- chee Basin Alliance at Okaloosa-Walton College; Bruce Ward and Mike Goodchild from Walton County Extension Services; Clyde Smith from Jackson County Extension Services; Billy McKee and Tommy Hinote from Walton County Planning Division's Environ- mental Services department; and Hal Lunsford from Anderson-Colombia, Inc. I a a S ef ef nse & ic b o inS PICTURED HERE IS the new Engine 10 that has just been received by Walton Fire Rescue. 2008 also called for reducing the county's contribution to the Walton County Chamber of Commerce from the cur- rent year's $45,500 to $22,750 and cutting in half the current year's contribu- tions to the Red Cross, the Association of Retired Citi- zens, the Council on Aging, Elder Care Services, and the Tri-County Community Council, along with other dis- cretionary contributions. The commissioners agreed to meet with the EDC to dis- cuss what the organization has accomplished and in- tends to accomplish and what the county can receive in return for investment in the EDC, with the possibil- ity of some county funding going to the organization in 2008. After a discussion on the role of the Council on Aging and the meals it provides to the elderly, District 5 Com- missioner Cindy Meadows suggested cutting the county's contribution to that organization by only $25,000 rather than the $75,000, the 50-percent cut that had been proposed. County Commission Chairman Ken Pridgen also suggested that the county fa- cilitate communication on ways for the charitable asso- ciations to eliminate dupli- cated services and share re- sources. Public hearings for official adoption of the 2008 budget will begin in September.

A proposed development just west of City Hall would like the Council to agree to con- sider a project with commer- cial use on the ground floor and condominiums above. A motion to agree to consider such a concept, with the un- derstanding that such consideration is not fi- nal approval of the project, was approved. Henninger said she is L FROM FRONT working on a draft revision of the C-1 zoning category and will present it at the next Council meeting. Henninger said that a sec- ond developer wants the Council to consider a pro- posal for a 19-acre category C-1 property on the east side ofU.S. 331 south. In this case commercial buildings facing the highway would be erected and then a 260-unit rental apartment complex would be constructed behind the commercial buildings. The Council approved a mo- tion to consider the proposal which would be subject to regular building review. City Attorney Clayton Adkinson told the Council that the proposed local agree- ment with Walton County concerning the barge port is still under review by county attorneys. City Engineer Charles Pe- ters reported to the Council that he has been working on cost reduction measures for the proposed activity building. Prelimi- nary discussions with the low about design changes are promising. The Council was assured that the appearance of the building would not be changed. The Council gave Peters approval to try to ne- gotiate a contract. The Council approved is- suing an appreciation proc- lamation for the Walton County Chamber of Com- merce. Kerry Jackson lodged a complaint with the Council about trash, garbage and an unoccupied mobile home that have accumulated on a prop- erty on SR-20 East. County Code Enforcement has worked with the land owners trying to get the situation rectified but without success. Simmons said the Council will take care of the situa- tion.

Fear that your dis- ability causes others to dis- count your ability to be a pro- ductive part of the commu- nity. Many people with men- tal illness struggle with these types of fears every day. Mental illnesses affect one in four of us at some point in our lives. This means we have at least one relative, friend, neighbor or co-worker living with a mental illness and it is just as common as heart disease. Like President Bush said, "Americans must under- stand and send this message: mental disability is not a scandal it is an illness. And like physical illness, it is treatable." No one is "im- mune" from mental illness no matter your age, race, reli- gion, income or education level, but if you have a men- tal illness you can recover. Recovery is possible. Only half of people treated for heart disease recover, where eight out of ten ,of folks treated for depression re- cover. As a community we need to come together to get rid of this notion that you can't re- cover from depression, schizophrenia, anxiety disor- ders, obsessions, phobias or other mental illnesses. We believe you can recover from alcoholism or diabetes, but fail to give someone with a mental illness the same hope? Just like treatment for any physical illnesses or addic- tion, there are medications to take, activities to avoid and steps to take toward recovery and resiliency. For example, if you are diabetic you may find it hard to stay away from sweets, but this is a life change you must make in or- der to recover. Whether you have a physical illness or a mental illness all you want is to get well. The first step is for our community to make mental health a priority by changing our own personal attitudes, dispelling myths about men- tal illness, and making men- tal wellness, along with physical wellness, a part of our every day lives.

The bottom of the inning saw Zach Forehand bear down as he struck out all three of Destin's batters. Destin put DeFuniak down in order in the top of the sixth, leaving the home team three outs to rally for a tie or win. It nearly came to fruition. Forehand struck out the first batter in the inning, but Marshall reached with a deep single to right center. Forehand then managed to strike out Destin's second batter, but in the process reached his 85-pitch limit that automatically requires a coach to substitute a new pitcher. Enter Christopher Murphy, who has pitched in spot relief for the team dur- ing DeFuniak's six-game run. However, Murphy pro- ceeded to walk Destin's next batter after a lengthy battle, then loaded the bases with two outs after issuing an- other free pass. After threat- ening to walk in a run by run- ning up a 3-0 count on the next batter, Ronnie Murphy paid a visit to the mound. Ronnie, who is Chris' father and coaches the team with Ronnie Bell, obviously knew what he was doing. The younger Murphy proceeded to throw three straight strikes to end the game as the DeFuniak crowd and youngsters erupted in cel- ebration. Ronnie Bell said after the award ceremonies had com- menced, "The kids did an outstanding job, they actu- ally hit the ball tonight!" He added, "They're an awesome group of kids. They made our job really easy." Bell also said that, after a well-earned break from baseball, the team would start practicing for next weekend's sectional tournament on Monday. Coach Murphy was ec- static as well. In regard to his son's saving performance in the game's final moments, he said, "That's what it's all about. But it ain't over yet." Forehand earned the win while striking out 11 in 5 2/3 innings of work while Marshall struck out 10, but wound up with losses in both of his starts against DeFu- niak in the tourney. The two teams played three times over the final four days of the 11-team dis- trict event. It took 14 days and 21 games to settle the double-elimination affair with DeFuniak recording 2- 1, 3-7 and 2-0 decisions. The two teams had squared off on Tuesday night in a winner's bracket contest that saw DeFuniak rally from a 1-0 deficit by scoring two runs in their final at-bat in the bottom of the sixth in- ning. Forehand pitched 5 1/3 innings in that contest allow- ing an RBI-groundout in the first inning.

EMB1-07-05998 11-12 Baseball Scores from Niceville THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 19, 2007 "Anything Goes" is a fun summer cruise By BRUCE COLLIER Okaloosa-Walton College sets sail this week on what has been described as the largest set yet constructed for an in-college production. The OWC Humanities Fine and Performing Arts Division is presenting Cole Porter's musical "Anything Goes." The show opens on Wednesday, July 18 and runs through Saturday, July 21. Performances are in the Mattie Kelly Fine and Performing Arts Center, at 7:30 p.m. Clifford D. Herron directed. Porter is widely acknowledged as one of America's finest composers, particularly in the area of lyrics. "Anything Goes" contains some of his most clever work, including "You're the Top," "Easy to Love," "I Get a Kick Out of You," "Blow, Gabriel Blow," and the title tune. If you haven't at least heard of some of these songs, you watch too much VH-1. This production is adapted from a version presented in the 1980s on Broadway, with a new book, taking off from the original. Since the original book was written by master wordsmiths Guy Bolton, P.G. Wodehouse, Howard Lindsey and Russel Crouse, it's hard to imagine what kind of improvements could have been made. "Anything Goes" is very much a product of its time, full of slangy, breezy Ivy League humor, topical references, and a few non-PC caricatures. It's also about two-and-a- half hours in length. Porter and friends wrote entertainment in the time before TV, and audiences expected a lot of bang for their theater buck. "Anything Goes" delivers, with non-stop singing, dancing, cute chorus girls, and a twisty, feather- light story. Set aboard a luxury liner en route from New York to London, "Anything Goes" is a romantic comedy that starts with mismatched couples and ends with properly-matched couples. Like most musical comedies, the story doesn't bear close scrutiny. The fun comes with the journey. Everybody gets on the boat, and after a lot of singing, dancing, and intriguing, everybody comes out all right. The principal characters are well-cast, which is half the fight in any production. The two mismatched couples are Reno Sweeney (played by Wendy Justice), Billy Crocker (Tim Norton), Hope Harcourt (Erin Carloni), and Lord Evelyn Oakleigh (Clint Mahle, who also found time to design the set). If that's not enough and apparently it wasn't there's a supporting subset of other couples, including Elisha Whitney (Bruce Culpepper), Evangeline Harcourt (Darla Briganti), Moonface Martin (R.J. Murdock), and Erma, the gangster's moll (Rachael Jones). Mahle's set features several levels, giving performers a crash course in staircase aerobics. Colors are bright, lines razor-sharp, and lighting (designed by Bronwyn Hernandez) offers a few "wow" effects. Much of choreographers Joseph A. Taylor's and Kelly Murdock's dancing takes place on the main deck, with lots of tap, ballroom, and even a tango. Herron has wrought the sort of ensemble essential to this kind of show, but there are some standouts. Wendy Justice brings red hair, a solid belt, and miles of leg to "bad girl" evangelist Sweeney, supposedly based on real-life "Sister" Aimee Semple McPherson. Tim Norton has a great feel for the style needed to play romantic hero Crocker, with a smooth voice and easy grace of movement. Mahle is all bony angles including a mammoth mustache as the cheerfully stuffy Brit, Oakleigh. Worthy supporting performances come from Rachael Jones as Erma, a soiled dove who cracks gum and trails a half-dozen sailors wherever she sashays. Bruce Culpepper plays millionaire Yalie Whitney like a Prohibition preppie, all hip flasks and rowing songs. As Hope, Erin Carloni has a sweetly beautiful voice, and Danny Thomas's cheerfully preoccupied Captain makes you wonder who's minding the ship. I'm told there are several hundred costumes in the show, and an uncountable number of quick changes. Costumer Linda Corley rose to the occasion with plenty of color and elegant period style, especially for the ladies, with more than a "glimpse of stocking." The chorus, dancers, and orchestra directed by Guy Heath and Carolyn Schlatter - bring everything nicely together. I saw a dress rehearsal on July 15, and there were a few pauses and slow spots, but. they've probably all been tightened up by now. All singing, all dancing, all running around like crazy people in love. That, and the music of an American master, makes .for a worthwhile evening. "BLOW, GABRIEL BLOW," Reno Sweeney (Wendy Justice, center) and herangels entertain CHORUS GIRLS AND SAILORS get into the Cole Porter spirit in one of the many dance the passengers in "Anything Goes" at OWC. numbers in OWC's "Anything Goes." Finally a place that you can call home. A pla ce for every day living.

Debbie Yates Peebles " '''' '. ,,: THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, JUlY 19, 2007 PAGE 4B In Matthew 13:47-50 there is found the last of seven parables which the Lord Christ set forth. It brings us to the end of this age, when the whole sys- tem of human living will be tested and judged. Let us look at the words of this Word from the Lord: Consider the net. It is prepared to catch fish. It is an emblem of the Gospel of the grace of God. The net receives all who come into it. The invitation of the Gos- pel is universal, meant for ev- ery person. Good and bad may be caught in it. Then there is the sea, it rep- resents the vast sea of people and their changeableness, restless-ness and danger. Into the sea of mankind the Gos- pel net is cast with the pur- pose of gathering out a people unto His name. Verse 47 says the net "gath- ered of every kind." The Gos- pel is put to a wrong use when it is meant to gather the 'saved and the unsaved into the same spreaders. But a sifting time is coming. They drew in the net (v.48). The net is meant for the saved by grace, but all kinds of the unfit by grace are drawn in. There is a time - and it may be near, when the net is full, the end of the age. The opportunity of salvation will then be gone. Verse 48 says the net "drew to the shore" as the fishers their task. The fish drew closer together as the net came to shore. There is a great cry for "union" in the present time. Let us be care- ful not to be like everyone else as God's net is drawn. There will be a separation. "They gathered the good, and cast the bad away" (v.48). The bad may boast that they are as good as those saved by grace separation. But the Lord knows those that are His.

DeFuniak Springs saw a pair of their Little League baseball teams win district crowns as the 7/8/9-year-olds won the Pitching Machine tournament title in June and the 11-12 year old squad ad- vanced to the Tallahassee Sectional that will be played this weekend. Four other All-Star tour- naments came to a close last week as Freeport made a solid run in the Junior League bracket that was played in Crestview. After winning their first two games, Freeport was swept by Tri-County 20-5 and 6-3 to be denied a trip to the next round. Results for area sectional tournaments can be found at www.eteamz.active.com/fldl and with links that can be obtained via that site. Sports News and Notes By PATRICK CASEY The Malone girls basket- ball team lost a member of its program on Saturday, June 30, when senior Mary Black was killed in a car accident. Black, 17, was a member of the Tigers Class A state run- ner-up team last season and had just returned from a bas- ketball camp with her team- mates. Four other teenagers ranging in age from 14 to 16 were also in the vehicle at the time of the wreck early Sat- urday morning. Three were listed in seri-. ous condition and one criti- cal, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The acci- dent was characterized "alco- hol-related" and none of the passengers, including Black, were wearing seat belts. Black also competed on the Malone softball team as their catcher last season. FAMU High fullback Ri- chard Watson announced his oral commitment to Georgia Tech last week, making him the third Big Bend football player to make a preseason decision. Watson will face off against Walton on Thursday, September 6, in Bragg Sta- dium in Tallahassee. Last year FAMU escaped with a 19-18 win and went on to win the Class B state champion- ship after losing to Walton the-_previous .three- seasons. Watson carried for 2,140 yards and 34 touchdowns in 2006 to lead the Baby Rat- tlers to the state title and has racked up more than 4,000 rushing yards in his three years at FAMU High. Former Marianna base- ball player Jeff Mathis has Local By CHUCK HINSON After 12 rounds, local boxer Roy Jones Jr., got his victory in Biloxi when he defeated Anthony Hanshaw to win the IBC heavyweight title. Jones used to razzle and dazzle his fans and the crowds as he entered the ring. Blowing kisses to the ladies, shaking his money maker and knocking out his opponent before the first bell, he was the king. At 38-years-old, those days are history, and despite still pulling out the victory, it now takes him a few more rounds. In a unanimous decision, Subscribe Today Visa- MC 892-3232 been called up by the Los Angeles Angels. Mathis, a 2001 first-round draft pick, will look to improve his bat- ting average after hitting only .103 in 2006 in a short stint with the parent club. Mathis was called up when backup catcher Mike Napoli was placed on the disabled list on July 2. Another former Marianna baseball player, Alan Horne, was able to live his all-star moment before thick fog can- celed the Eastern League All- Star Game last week. Horne, a New York Yankees prospect pitching for Double-A Tren- ton in New Jersey tossed a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts for the North. That was in the second in- ning, and he exited with a scoreless tie. The game ended that way an inning later when coaches, umpires and league officials decided to call off the rest of the game for safety reasons. Pensacola Catholic High School hired Felicia Terhaar last week to follow the late Randy Pounders as the school's volleyball coach. Terhaar, 26, served as an as- sistant under Pounders last season and spent the previ- ous five years as a coach at Volleyball Pensacola, an or- ganization Pounders created.

A federal judge gave per- mission for the AP to argue that the names should be re- vealed from a search war- rant, in which former league pitcher Jason Gremsely al- legedly implicated players in steroid use. The AP says that the public has a right to know and is just another reason that there should be manda- tory drug testing in all pro- fessional sports. However, not everyone agrees with the AP. The Ma- jor League Baseball Players Association opposes the re- quest and also has asked to intervene. U.S. Magistrate Edward C. Voss signed the one-page order this past Tuesday that would allow the arguments. The final ruling is not scheduled until July 26. The baseball organization has until July 19 to file reply briefs which many expect to come sooner than the desig- nated date. The U.S. Attorney's office in San Francisco filed papers last week opposing the AP applications since the ste- roid-use investigation into pro players is still ongoing. TheAP is moving ahead with their arguments and feels that the nation has a right to know which sports icons have been hitting the "juice," and which sports icons have been wrongfully accused. Yelas wins Bass Angler of the Year Continuing to live out his dreams, Berkley Pro Jay Yelas adds to his list of fish- ing accomplishments that just keeps growing. Already a Bassmaster Classic Cham- pion, FLWAngler of the Year and a member of the $1 mil- lion career earnings club, Yelas clinched the 2007 FLW Angler of the Year on Friday, July 13 during the season's final event on the Detroit River (MI.). Yelas came into the event leading the Angler of the Year race by 26 points over Shinici Fucae. Yelas, by virtue of his combined weight of 34 pounds in the first two days of competition, was declared the winner of the prestigious award. "The three biggest small- mouth I caught today were on the Berkley Gulp! Gobies. It's been that way all season. Virtually every tournament Gulp! came into play," Yelas Stewart stings the track By CHUCK HINSON It finally happened for the #20 Home Depot driver. He broke his 20-race losing streak. Tony Stewart had taken the back seat since late last season to his teammate Jeff Gordon until this past Sun- day when he blew through the finish line and declared his own victory at the USG Sheetrock 400 in Joliet, IL. The victory could not have come quicker, or at a better time for Stewart, who had been in the media for rea- sons besides just being able to pull out a victory this sea- son, despite several close calls at the finish line. He had also thrown in the spot- light due to his high-profile fueled with teammate Denny Hamlin. The two drivers had aqwreck a week earlier at the Daytona Speedway. The two-time series cham- pion was elated to finally cross the finish line first and was even more excited to have this weekend off, as NASCAR takes a break for the weekend. Matt Kenseth crossed the line in second place and Carl Edwards came in third. 2007 NEXTEL Cup Series schedule Date Venue Laps 7/29 Indianapolis Speedway 160 8/5 Pocono Raceway 200 8/12 Watkins Glen Int'l 90 8/19 Michigan Int'l Speedway 200 8/25 Bristol Motor Speedway 500 9/2 California Speedway 250 9/8 Richmond Int'l Speedway 400 CHASE FOR THE 9/16 New Hampshire Int'l 9/23 Dover Int'l Speedway 9/30 Kansas Speedway 10/7 Talladega Speedway 10/13 Lowe's Motor Speedway 10/21 Martinsville Speedway 10/28 Atlanta Speedway 11/4 Texas Motor Speedway 11/2 Homestead-Miami 300 400 267 188 334 -500 325 334 267 Race length TV 400 ABC/ESPN 500 ABC/ESPN 220.5 ABC/ESPN 400 ABC/ESPN 266.5 ABC/ESPN 500 ABC/ESPN 300 ABC/ESPN CUP 317.4 ABC 400 ABC 400.5 ABC 500.08 ABC 501 ABC 263 ABC 500.5 ABC 500.5 ABC 400 ABC said.

AN ATLANTA MAN WAS RECENTLY ARRESTED near the Inn at Blue Mountain and the Retreat. The area is marked with several signs indicating a private beach. (Photo by Jeffrey Powell) Private beach issues heat up with arrest By JEFFREY POWELL The recent arrest of an At- lanta man near the Retreat at Blue Mountain has stirred up a controversial debate be- tween private ,beach.owners and the public. Eduardo Gonzalez was ar- rested on July 5, reportedly for being approximately three feet inside of the Retreat's property. When asked to resituate his belong- ings Gonzalez refused and a security guard contacted the Walton County Sheriff's Of- fice. Upon arrival, deputies again asked Gonzalez to move but he refused to relo- cate. This refusal resulted in his arrest and a misde- meanor trespassing charge. According to a release from The South Walton Tour- ist Development Council, there are deeded private beaches in Walton County.

With construction nearing completion, the FDOT held the meeting to provide an opportunity for property owners and interested indi- viduals to review the final plans and be informed of the renaming of existing U.S. 331. No one from the public attended the meeting held at the Freeport Community Center. Walton County GIS Coor- 'dinator Kevin Laird at- tended the meeting and ex- pressed his concerns about the roadway's designation. According to Laird, his de- partment along with County Administrator Ronnie Bell and Freeport Mayor Mickey Marse, had suggested that the new portion of U.S. 331 be called U.S. 331 alternate or U.S. 331 by-pass. Using one of these designations would have allowed the cur- rent structures along the roadway south of Owl's Head to use their current ad- dresses. "Due to the change all per- sons on that portion of the road will have to change their address," Laird said. "This is going to create a hardship for citizens and businesses alike.Apparently those suggestions fell on deaf ears with the FDOT as the existing portion of the road will soon be redesignated SR 83A. According to Laird, all ad- dresses south of SR-20 will also be impacted due to the county's addressing stan- dard.

See The Beach Scene 5-C Asphalt plant discussion draws crowd By LEAH STRATMANN Buchanan & Harper sub- mitted a development order application to the county for a bituminous asphalt plant on 11 acres of land, which is zoned industrial. The site is located on the east side of the Intracoastal Waterway and Old Ferry Road. More than 50 people were on hand to comment on this develop- ment, many of whom live in the community of Bunker Creek. Speaking for the county, Jason Bryan said the pri- mary condition to approving the development order was road improvement to county standards. All roads leading to the proposed site are dirt roads, which the county cur- rently grades once a week. "There are almost 10 miles of unpaved road. The county wants to find a way to im- prove this road to county standards before anything goes forward," Bryan said. Attorney Lamar Sikes said the applicant has offered to maintain the dirt road by grading twice a week as well as providing Walton and Bay Counties with asphalt at cost. The irony of an asphalt plant, accessible only by dirt roads was not lost on com- missioner Tom Patton who said, "So the only way to get to the asphalt plant is by dirt roads?" Pat Blackshear said, "We do not feel grading the road twice a week would solve the problem with the increased truck traffic. It is not accept- able to us. Road improve- ment needs to be discussed with public works." Ron Tho:masson, a certi- fied planner with Accrue Planning and Land Use Ser- vices, Inc. was hired by Bun- ker Creek residents to evalu- ate the situation. He said the residents are in favor of prop- erty rights but have issues that concern them. "There are blind curves on the road which constitute a hazard," Thomasson said, providing photographic evidence of the area. "Another issue is emer- gency response time, which is influenced by conditions on the road. Several residents have indicated that the road invites speeding, due to its isolation and both Walton and Bay Counties should co- ordinate together to find so- lutions to the problem. A re- design of the roadway and paving it would be the way to go," he said. Robin Partington, a resi- dent of the area said, "Weather conditions alter the state of the road very much. The thing that concerns me which might be more impor- tant than the road is the massive quantities of water needed to operate the plant. There is a Pandora's box of toxic chemicals, which are carcinogenic, and the respi- ratory problems which may arise from the diesel pollut- ants. Also, property values will be.affected. When you make your decision on this, it will be your legacy. You can put this in place or not. I think it is against the health and safety of all living nearby." Blackshear pointed out I See PLANT 14-C Empty victory for Angelos at Seagrove Beach By LEAH STRATMANN The county's team of ex- perts lined up against an applicant's teams of experts to 'discuss the Angelos at Seagrove Beach project, a major development consist- ing of 24 multi-family units on 3.57 acres on the west side of Beachside Drive south of San Roy Road. Even the acreage at stake is somewhat clouded with the applicant's surveyor assessing the land at 3.5 acres and the county's surveyor saying it is more like 2.9 acres. It was almost 10 p.m. before the discussion even started, causing the exit of commissioners Tom Terrell, Bill Maxson and Sally Merrifeld resulting in an adjournment of the com- missioners at a quarter to midnight. Rick Took, county sur- veyor, said he reviewed the survey documents. "I believe both are boundary surveys. I agree the boundary of the parcel does not change through evulsion (violent forceful extraction, as by a storm event). I have issues. with the 2.9-acre survey if the point was merely to find the mean high water line if the mean high water line is the south boundary of the parcel. We have two surveys with two different results.., One says the parcel is'2.9 acres and the other 3.5 acres." At the end of almost two hours of discussion, four of the five commissioners de- cided to approve the project if conditions are met, but the" 10 conditions imposed by the county for continuation of the project may be difficult for, the applicant to comply with., Speaking for the county,.

(Photo by Jeffrey Powell) Waterfront abandonment issue still unresolved By LEAH STRATMANN An item postponed -from last month's meeting still did not find resolution at the meeting last week of the Wal- ton County Planning Com- mission. At issue was a re- quest for abandonment by Ari Juke Junno, Inc. request- ing the abandonment of the right of way at the northern- most section of North Eden Park Drive consisting of an area approximately 58-feet in width, spanning north ap- proximately 160 feet, to the southern shore of the Choctawhatchee Bay. The site is located at the end of North Eden Park Drive on the northwest corner. Attorney Robert McGill, speaking on behalf of the pe- titioners, said that after con- sulting with county staff he was now asking for the aban- donment of only a portion of the 58 foot wide by 160 feet depth of the southern shore of the Choctaw Bay. "Right now the county has 33 feet of frontage on the bay. We are asking for the county to abandon 25 feet leaving an 8-foot walkway. The county then doubles bay frontage and land owners in the area would then get a park as the abandoned area will have pavers and picnic tables, etc.," he said. "The county will wind up with 76-feet of bay frontage. In the end this provides a net benefit to the county and the neighbor- hood. This would be a pedes- trian park as there is no way for cars to turn around. "We would be happy to have ia town hallimeeting with all parties to discuss other options," McGill noted. Commissioner Tom Patton asked if they county would have to take over mainte- nance of the pavers and McGill said something would be worked out. Planning director Pat Blackshear said, "This is the first time I've seen this pro- posal and the only way to convince us to abandon wa- terfront property is to pro- vide a proposal that benefits the county. We will take their proposal and review it. I sug- gest we hear the public com- ments and reserve our com- ments on the proposal since we just heard of it tonight. There was no mention of this at Technical Review Commit- tee (TRC) and I would like to hear from the neighborhood also. I suggest we continue it but go ahead and hear the public comment." With that resident Cecilia Johnson said, "We bought a lot there knowing we would have access to the bay. I don't see this as a win-win for us privately. People would park in our yard to get down there." Clarification on Beach FAQs Last week's Herald- Breeze contained a list of fre- quently asked questions (FAQs) regarding where beachgoers are permitted to set up. That list of questions wap not, as stated in the ar- ticle, prepared by the Walton County Sheriff's Office (WCSO). Rather, it was pre- pared by the South Walton Tourist Development Coun- cil (TDC). All questions on that list of FAQs should be directed to Tracy Louthain, director of Public Relations and Visitor Services, Beaches SUBSCRIBE TODAY VISA MC 892-3232 of South Walton, at 267- 1216, ext. 122, rather than to WCSO. Fran Bailey said, "If they do this, they would stop North Eden Park Drive and people would then have to access the ir property by the Dolphin Canal, which is where we have our wells." Citizen !Robert Sanders noted, "Thiere is a lot of new information here. I was un- aware the lots had been re- platted. I think there are too many unresolved issues to decide now.." Rick Took, county sur- veyor said, "'The lot split that took place was not a re-plat. The only action that can change those lines is by state statute. There is a 30-foot building setback line that still needs to be addressed. If the entire 58-foot area was cleared, could a car turn around?" McGill concluded, "We have indicated our willing- ness to help the county and neighbors ad.d value to their property and( we continue to be ready to work with all in- terested parties." Commissioner Tom Terrell made a motion to continue which was passed.

During the dry spring weather this year Florida was plagued by wildfires. The massive "Bugaboo Fire" that started in Georgia, seri- ously threatened Lake City, FL. in April. In May, Walton County wildfires destroyed three houses and damaged 12 oth- ers in Seagrove Beach, and more than 1,000 acres of tim- berland near the Black Creek community. Walton County Emergency Management, in partnership with South Walton Fire Dis- trict, and the Florida Divi- sion of Forestry is hosting workshops for homeowners, builders, developers, commu- nity leaders, and interested. citizens learn how to protect homes and neighborhoods from wildfire. Two FireWise workshops will be held at the Coastal Branch Library at 437 Greenway Trail in Santa Rosa Beach. Both are free, and open to the public, FireWise workshops are co- ordinated by Pandion Sys- tems, a Gainesville-based consultant, for the Florida Division of Forestry. "How to Have a FireWise Home", an overview session geared to homeowners and interested citizens, will be held on Monday, July 30, at 7 p.m. A more intensive workshop called "How to Make Your Community FireWise," will be held on Tuesday, July 31 at 9 a.m. This is designed for builders and developers, de- sign professionals, local lead- ers and planners, as well as interested citizens. Lunch will be served during this five hour workshop, so advance registration is required by Wednesday, July 25.

JULY 19, 2007 Marathon meeting draws large crowd By LEAH STRATMANN Several items on the agenda at the last planning commission meeting gener- ated quite of bit of comment, filled the meeting room, an- teroom and the hall outside and which led to a marathon meeting which did not ad- journ until almost midnight. One of the first items on the agenda was the Walton Plantation project, a major development order consist- ing of 148 single family homes on 6,460 acres with a future land use of large-scale agriculture. The site is lo- cated off CR-2 east of CR-47. The developers envision 148 houses and six amenity areas consisting of an ATV track, horseback riding trails, ar- chery and shooting galleries and an airfield. The area is adjacent to a working timber operation and the developers see the houses as a rustic va- riety for nature lovers to en- joy weekend getaways. Commissioner Tom Terrell asked if the lots were big enough to support wells and septic tanks on each lot. Project engineer Jim Barton said each lot was about four acres and could comfortably support both wells and sep- tic tanks. Speaking for the county, Tim Brown said traffic will be addressed the conceptual phase, and the developer will produce his permits for the wells. Brown also said a more precise environmental as- sessment needs to be made, and storm water needs to be addressed. The applicant must also obtain Florida De- partment of Transportation (FDOT) approval for the air- field. Part of the problem with this development is that an ATV track already exists and was created without permits of any kind. The developer has put in improved logging Walton County Commissioners lift burn ban In their Budget Workshop held on Wednesday, July 11, the Walton County Board of Commissioners (BCC) took time to convene an emer- gency session to rescind the burn ban that has been in effect since May 24 for Wal- ton County. Noting that the current Keetch-Byram index for Wal- ton County has improved considerably since recent rains, commissioners stated they have received numerous calls from residents inquir- ing about the ban. Emer- gency Response Director Ed Baltzley recommended lift- ing the ban to the BCC. The Keetch-Byram Drought Index is used by a number of agencies, includ- ing the Florida Division of Forestry, to determine the potential for wildfires in the area being measured. The scale ranges from 0 (no mois- ture deficit) to 800. High values of the KBDI are an indication that condi- tions are favorable for the oc- currence and spread of wild- fires. Other weather factors, such as wind, temperature, relative humidity and atmo- spheric stability, play a ma- jor role in determining the actual fire danger. As of July 9, the Florida Di- vision of Forestry KBDI Summary showed 18 percent of Walton County remains at a level of 500 or more. Be- cause of the diverse topogra- phy of the county, it is pos- sible that some areas have more potential for fire than others. Therefore, Walton resi- dents should continue to be careful with fire sources such as small trash fires, barbecue grills, and smoking. In- stances of smoke or fire ob- served in wooded areas should be called in to 911. roads and they also put in a motocross track without any permits and disturbed the wetlands. Commissioner Albert Paris said, "They put roads in an area where no logging roads existed. I don't think it is fair for one developer to do this type of thing when some- one else tries to do it right." Pat Blackshear, director of the planning department said, "We are working with them to get them compliant with the code. The real issue for us is the airstrip. We've been told it was for timber- ing, but if you are going to open it up for all the people who own and build in there, that's a different creature. We have to get the master plan approved and then deal with every area on a techni- cal basis. That is what we are trying to do tonight. They will have to come back with every component of the project. It is scheduled for code enforcement next week. If you are uncomfortable ap- proving it tonight, continue it until after it goes through code enforcement," she sug- gested. Commissioner Randy Gar- dener inquired about the code enforcement issues, ask- ing exactly what they were. Blackshear said the issues were a stop work order on the motocross track, shooting gallery and roads until a de- velopment order was granted. "They need to stop divid- ing lots and stop doing every- thing. It is about a violation of the stop work order," she said. Terrell said, "I have con- cerns about the way this has been presented and the ways things have been conducted in the past. There seems to be a lot of stuff missing. I have some serious concerns with it." Brown noted it would take them three years to plat all 148 lots. "They are asking for approval of all lots, but they can only plat 50 lots per year. Most of the lots have already been sold. The .devel- oper will bring applications to the county with what they want to plat each year at their discretion," he said. Commissioner Terrell then made a motion to con- tinue the issue until the next meeting after the developer has gone before the code en- forcement committee. The motion was seconded and passed by all. The other item to generate some buzz was a small-scale amendment request by David Kramer to change 10 acres south of the Choctawhatchee Bay within the Point Washington State Forest in Blue Mountain Beach to coastal center or any less dense category. On behalf of the county Carl Hammond said the staff is concerned about access, which is impossible without four-wheel drive. There are 33-foot easements on two sides, created by a forestry scraper. Access is by foot or four-wheel drive only, he said. Blackshear added, "What we struggle with is what to recommend for designation of this parcel. We consulted with state forestry folks and so what we did was look at categories and what might fit. One dwelling unit for 1.25 acres on the condition the road be improved or coastal center seems to be the best fit." Blackshear also said in the interest of full disclosure she felt she had to inform the commissioners the land had once contained a cattle-dip- ping vat. Even given that, the county recommends ap- proval as a conservation resi- dential area, which allows for two units per acre, and pas- sive recreation. At this point Kramer jumped up and said there' was no vat on the property. In answer to that, Blackshear produced photo- graphic evidence of the vat from an undated photo in the past and a current photo showing that the vat had been removed and the area planted over. "Whoever de- velops this property will have to clean up the area accord- ing to state statutes. The cattle dipping vat has been destroyed." Kramer said, "The so- called cattle vat was likely over 50 years old and I had it dug up and removed. It should have been designated as infill 10 years ago because three sides are occupied by public land. We had hope for two units per acre with maybe a hostel or camp- ground on it as well. We will take coastal center because it is so isolated. If you don't want to designate it as coastal center, we will take infill. With infill I can do two units per acre. I am looking for a usable category. It is not a density issue, but as infill it gives us some commercial capability if we want to try and create some campsites.' Billy McKee, an environ- mental engineer for the county noted, "Cattle vats had all kinds of chemicals. Removal is supposed to done by a certified consultant. It has been removed so we don't When It homess to Beach Safety, Make Sure You Know Before You Go! W ,tt, e 'p ,i '".'erm iT';'The Safety Crab, Walton County is 'rnmrd to beach safety.

If it was, it needs to be disposed of properly. There are some other pretty bad chemicals that could have been there, including arsenic. Soil testing will have to be done to find out what is there before anybody breaks ground," he said. Citizen Celeste Cobena said the land should remain undesignated until the cattle dip vat is cleaned up. "It should not have been re- moved by anyone except an environmental expert. It ap- pears it was just broken up and moved away and the soil spread around. Somebody needs to look into this before we talk about the possibility of putting people on this property. "This is the time to say be- fore we move any further, let's clean it up. Before there is any more discussion, it needs to be cleaned up," she said. Anita Page, director of the South Walton Community Council agreed saying, "I concur that now that this is- sue has come to light. There are homes 1,000 feet south of this and some of the drain- age goes into Draper Lake., There is continuity to the tox- icity of the chemicals and soil samples should be taken by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)." Kramer said the definition on infill from the Land De- velopment Code (LDC) says infill is land surrounded by private land but the Compre- hensive Plan definition is un- platted land surrounded by land that is developed. "This land is in the middle of a state forest. What can be done under conservation residential?" Kramer also said the issue of the vat was not germane to the designa- tion issue, only the develop- ment issue. Blackshear said, "I feel we have to suggest conservation residential as the designa- tion. I don't feel we can rec- ommend an, infill designa- tion." Commissioner Tom Patton made a motion to designate the land as conservation resi- dential, which was passed by all.

CLAYTON J.1 ADKINSON CITY ATTORNEY ltc: July 19, 2007 673G NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS Notice is hereby given that Wal- ton County has received a request from Emerald Bay Development Cor- poration for a determination of whether proposed changes in buildout and expiration dates for Tract 1 of the Walton County portion of the Emer- ald Bay project would constitute a sub- stantial deviation from the original Tidewater (now Emerald Bay) Devel- opment of Regional Impact (DRI) De- velopment Order, which is Ordinance No. 94-13 dated September 27,1994. That ordinance was amended by Wal- ton County Resolution No. 96-46, which was approved on December 31, 1996; Walton County Resolution No. 96-46, which was approved on De- cember 31, 1996; and Walton County Resolution No. 97-6, which was ap- proved onhFebruary 11, 1997. Emer- ald Bay proposes to extend the build- out date for Tract 1, phases I and II, to November30, 2010, ahd extendthe' expiration date for each of these phases to November 30, 2012. This development is located within Walton County in Sections 19 and 30, Township 2 South, Range 21 West. Section 380.06 (19) (b), Florida Statutes, provides criteria to measure whether a proposed change to a DRI Development Order is a substantial deviation subject to further develop- ment of regional impact review.

CITY OF DEFUNIAK SPRINGS /s/ Larry Laird Assistant City Manager 2tc: July 19, 26, 2007 675G ANGELS Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approve a.proposed restoration as part of the 95 percent of the preservation calculations seaward of the coastal construction control line (CCCL). The BCC is also tasked with approving the density and compatibility of the project based on the size of the parcel. Additionally the applicant must provide the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with an incidental take permit, participate in transportation proportional fair share program, provide the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) with wastewater and potable water permits, pro- vide FDEP with a CCCL per- mit, pay the applicable rec- reation fee and provide an updated boundary survey ex- plaining the differences be- tween mean high water lines prior to the BCC meeting. Dean Burgis with Emer- ald Coast Associates submit- ted the application and said the density is 6.7 units per acre with an ex-filtration sys- tem for the water. The appli- cant is not asking for any variances for the project and the project meets the park- ing requirement of two spaces for each of the 24 units. "We have spent a con- siderable amount of time de- signing and redesigning this project and meeting with county staff to address con- cerns. I believe we meet the vegetative requirements." Maybe not, said attorney Harry Chiles on behalf of the county. "The real issue, as far as the staff is concerned, is the 95 percent preservation of land seaward of the CCCL or Coastal Protection Zone (CPZ). The washout area is not part of the 95 percent that needs to be preserved. The problem is the restora- tion area will not be stable for a long time and the exist- ing dune will not be retained, it will be replaced," he said. Attorney Jesse Rigby on behalf of the applicant said, "We think the beach restora- tion to be done on this area will provide protected veg- etation along with the devel- opment. We believe we met the requirements of the code including the 95 percent of vegetation forward of the CCCL." However, Mike Trudneck, a coastal engineer with Tay- lor Engineering, experts in the field of beach restoration, said simply,"Restoration is not preservation. They are asking for restoration so they can destroy some existing vegetation. Does restoration have the same value as ex- isting vegetation? Evidence suggests it does not," he con- cluded. At issue here is a large sand dune occupying the par- cel. The sand dune has stood the test of all of the recent hurricanes and provided pro- tection for homes behind the vacant parcel. Dr. John Warner said, "The dune in front of my house will be destroyed. The dune was in a no-build zone, which is the only reason I purchased my house. Putting THE DeFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 19, 2007 Renovations begin at SWFD Headquarters By JEFFREY POWELL "Renovations that will help centralize the South Walton Fire Districts (SWFD) mission have be- gun," said SWFD Deputy Chief Sean Hughes. Accord- ing to Hughes the project will solve at least three issues currently faced by the fire district. "The main incentive was to house the dispatch center under the same roof as our operational headquarters," Hughes said. "Secondly, the reconfiguration of the build- ing will provide a larger area to conduct training. Also, the renovation will expand op- erational space for current operations as well as the needs of the future." The SWFD building lo- cated at 911 CR-393 will not be the only location to ben- FROM FRONT a wall of cement in front of my house will destroy my dune, and my property's value." Anita Page, executive di- rector of the South Walton Community Council said, "What amazes me when I see the slides is how intact the area is even after many, many hurricanes. The dune system on this piece of prop- erty is enviable. I cannot be- lieve someone is proposing something that will take, away that dune system. Can the commission approve this without all the permits in place? Regarding the CCCL, the applicant has to have all the permits before the county can approve it, meaning the whole thing is moot at this point. They should limit the disturbance of the natural topography to maximum ex- tent feasible. I believe a project can be designed that does .not destroy this dune system." Compatibility is also an issue. The applicant's expert Wendy Gray says the project is compatible with other resi- dences in the neighborhood. "There are duplex, single family and multi-family dwellings all in the area. My conclusion is the project meets the county's guidelines for compatibility," she said. Page said, "There is em- phasis on the surrounding neighborhood. As the report notes, there are three multi- family developments around, but they predated the com- prehensive plan and the Dunes of Seagrove project was tied up in litigation for years.. So using a grandfathered project and one that was the subject of much litigation as examples is not relevant to the current project," she said. "The 50- foot height is up to the code, but not to the surrounding area. As designed, the project is riot compatible. It could be compatible and a project could be designed that would address all of these issues. Go back to the drawing board and see what can be done that is more compatible but which also protects the in- credible environment found there." David Milam spoke on be- half of people in the 120 units that comprise Beach Side Vil- las saying he had three is- sues: "The stress on the in- frastructure, the beach ac- cebs for Beach Side Villa resi- dents and the loss of beach rights due to the receding beach area." Commissioner Randy Gardner commented that the project would seem to be den- sity-compatible to the east since Beach Side Villas com- prises 12 buildings with 10 units to a building. "Is a re- design possible that would reduce the dune impact?," he asked. At the end of all discus- sion, commissioner Tom Patton made a motion to ap- prove the project pending staff approval. Susan Horn voted nay, but the vote car- ried with commissioners Patton, Gardener, and Paris 'oting yea. efit from the current con- struction. Two of the existing bay doors from the headquar- ters building are to be used to replace doors at the SWFD Mack Bayou location. As a result of the work, the doors will no longer be needed at the CR-393 location. During the July 9, SWFD regular meeting, Fire Chief Rick Talbert acknowledged that there had been some public -scrutiny concerning damaged and "unsightly" doors at the Mack Bayou sta- tion. "The door is unsightly and will be corrected," said Talbert. He also added that the doors have not had an ef- fect on the district's response. Contractors Design Build Systems is handling the project and should be com- pleted in 120 days. Cost for the project is not to exceed $750,000. "Being able to use the ex- isting doors to replace the broken ones makes good fis- cal sense," said Hughes. "We try to be good stewards with the taxpayers' money." THIS DAMAGED BAY DOOR is soon to be replaced. The door is located at the Mack Bayou location of the SWFD.

Walton County Commissioner Scott Brannon is the featured speaker. He will speak on his exciting new idea for preserving the history of Walton County using photo- graphs, maps, and information collected from citizens. This meeting is open to the public, particularly those interested in Walton County history and heritage. This is not a county event. PLANT FROM FRONT that whether or not the plant should be there is not the is- sue. The area is zoned indus- trial and the use of the prop- erty is not in question. "Site approval is the only issue. The county cannot deny heavy industrial use on this piece of property," she em- phasized. Joan Vienot said, "We do not have to approve any kind of industrial use on this prop- erty. We could approve those [projects] without far-reach- ing impact." Mary Treelaven said, "The road is very bad for school buses right now. With added traffic it will be worse and it is an hour to an hour and half for kids when the roads are in excellent shape." Jack Seay, a Bunker Creek resident for 16 years said succinctly, "There is a 100 percent chance if those dump trucks are allowed to run on those dirt roads, people will die." Commissioner Patton said, "Don't think we can ap- prove this project without hardening the road." Com- missioner Tom Terrell agreed and commissioner Albert Paris said, "The road is dan- gerous with all the curves." Patton agreed saying, "We might also consider road alignment, but I think there should be a study of the whole situation by the two counties." Patton then made a mo- tion that the road be brought to Florida Department of Transportation standards or county standards suitable for heavy industrial traffic and that Bay County also be brought into the discussion. The motion was passed by all.
