Growth issues continue to dominate Freeport agenda By BEN GRAFTON The Freeport City Council meeting of Sept. 22, in City Hall opened its business ses- sion with City Planner Latilda Henninger ri' ues qut- ing approval of a small scale. amendment for a ten-acre property on Bay Loop road, which was improved without a development' order. Henninger said the city is trying to bring the develop- ment into code compliance. Henninger: also prescntcd a request to re-zone the prop- erty from rtiral'residential to rural village. The council ap- proved the reque-.t-. Henninger then pre.i-n I il a request to change to "indus- trial" the zoning ofa Freeport. Industries property pres- ently zoned low -density resi- dential but completely sur-, rounded by properties zoned industrial. The council ap- proved the,request,. The Freeport Residrntial Planned Development Project Master Plan. which is accompanied by a separate agreement with the develop- ers that limits construction to 435 residential units on about 303 acres, was pre- sented to the council who ac- cepted the plan.. Paul Miller, presented a re- quest for a development or- der for The Pines, Phase III, a Planned Development Project on the east side of U.S. 331 in Freeport. Miller said that the project meets all code requirements. He noted that the planning board has recommended ap- proval for the project. The council approved issuing the development order. Henninger advised the council that a code' enforce- ment complaint. about a property with litter and un- licensed vehicles aind asked for council approval for code enforcement to initiate cor- rective action. Councilman Earl King, noting that the exact description of the prop- erty was not known, recom- mended tabling the matter until that information was provided. The council approved ac, tion to proceed with. annex- ation of a 70- acre parcel to. be developed as a marina and subdivision owned by LaGrange Bayou Village LLC. , Buddy Reynolds, manag- ing partner for Conerstone Development Company ad- dressed the council about a request for annexation of a total of 3,500 acres east of U.S. 331. The original request for an- nexation of this acreage was presented to the council sev- eral months ago but an error concerning the ownership of a right-of -way through the property delayed action. Reynolds said that issues, "...post Katrina.." have changed a lot things in the development of Freeport. He said the development will of- fer sidewalks, good roads, in- cluding connectors to the U.S. 331 by-pass, it will protect wetlands on the site, and con- sider park components and education. He reported that negotiations have already been conducted with the De- partment of Transportation and an agreement has been worked out for a number of intersections along the :y-pass where it adjoins de- velopment property. After discussion, during which the owners i issue was re- solved, the council approved the request to continue with the annexation. Mayor Mickey Marse an- nounced that effective Dec. 31, the city will become a par- ticipant in the Florida State retirement plan. The existing alan cannot be rolled into the state plan. Employees can exercise an option to withdraw contribu- tions to the existing plan or to leave them invested. The council approved the change to the state plan. Councilman Charlie Sim- mons reported on meetings. with DeFuniak Springs Fire Department personnel and with Walton County Admin- istrator Ronnie Bell about the possible merger of the Freeport Volunteer Fire De-. partment with the consoli- dated county system. Simmons said he likes the plan but doesn't think it is right for ,Freeport at the present time. He recom- mended that the city wait a year and then re-evaluate the merger proposal. Simmons also asked for council approval of his re- quest to put together a plan for fire department training and organization. The coun- cil approved both recommen- dations. 1=, A u '11an FUA'i U Ait-'C jA IA'Jiu lI was presented to n bers of the Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood Foundation, Inc. representing the' city council of DeFuniak Springs in recogniti having given unselfishly of their time to rebuild the Chautauq MIKE ADKINSON New chief of police pledges professionalism, ethics for city DAWN MOLITERNO Dawn Molitern chosen as chamber president The Walton County Cham- ber of Commerce announced that Dawn A.

Mike Adkinson, 35, has secured a residence in town, and is coming here with more than a few plans and projects. Adkinson is currently serv- ing as a field training officer at the Tallahassee Police Department, a position he has held for five years. Adkinson has a bachelor of science degree in criminology from Florida State Univer- sity, and is in progress on a master's degree. In addition to his academic accomplish- ments, Adkinson has logged over 600 hours in advanced criminal justice training. He has lectured at several Florida universities, is an ad- junct instructor at the Pat Thomas Law Enforcement Academy, and is active in the American Association ofLaw Enforcement Trainers. Adkinson's areas of exper- tise are ethics and the use of defensive tactics. S"I was in Mississippi work- ing on hurricane relief when this came up," he said. "I came here and told the city what would be my vision of a police department, what it should do, and what the pub- lic should expect from it." Adkinson also described several "pet projects" he ex- pects to implement upon taking office. "I want the police to ac- tively track and monitor sex offenders," he said. "We have their information, and I told the [police department] we would be taking an active role." Another project involves talking with area schools, and with'school resource of- ficers (who themselves work under the Walton County Sheriff) to set up procedures for protecting children in emergencies. Adkinson intends to main- tain an open-door policy with the community, and to stress professionalism and ethics. "I told the city council that the police department would have an accredited policy manual within 60 day; after I started," he said. "We have to lay out'the ground rules," he added. Adkinson said that he ex- pects to start between Octo- ber 10 and 16. In the meantime, Lt. Den- nis Ward will continue to serve as acting police chief. Ward's last day on the job will be October 7. By TAMMY KEARCE Residents of south Second Street filled a recent DeFu- niak Springs City Council meeting demanding resolu- tion of an ongoing air qual- ity issue. The problem began years ago and what origi- nally caused it continues to be a source of debate, but residents know that the ef- fects of the noxious sewage gasses are obvious and intol- erable. "With all due respect to the council," said Tom Dudley, "if this problem was in your neighborhood, you would not accept it." "I am closest to that area," said council member Don Harrison. "I have witnessed the smell myself and it is ab- solutely putrid.We have had trouble with that line since' it was installed and it is time we resolved it." .During the past three years the line has been flushed and cleaned three times. The last time a video camera-was sent to gather images from inside the line to determine if waste was settling in low spots and be- coming septic; results indi- cated that conditions were present for that to occur. Council members agreed that this matter would take top priority and be handled by City Manager Kim Presnell. "I certainly sympa- thize with you all and I think we [the council] agree that this will be top priority to- morrow morning," said Council Member James Huffman. "We will fight to get this problem solved," agreed Har- rison, "and if we have to put a new sewer line in to do it, I am in favor of it." While residents left with- out a definite time frame for the repairs, which they re- questedd, they were assured that the problem would now be aggressively addressed and given the appropriate attention. ,Commissioners dlrop village rate again ..,................ .1C M1, J .,. i 331 bay bridge will e nut to crack .... 1C s^ ^ An overwhelming smell intolerable i THE DEFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 200' DeFuniak Springs Women's Club Neighbors helping neighbors In the wake of Hurricane Katrina many people have been helping, the evacuees that have been relocated to local towns and communities. Large organizations, like the Red:Cross and Salvation Army have fulfilled their ex- pected duties. The smaller or- ganizations hAve banded to- gether to offer relief to the victims. Since the hurricane, the DeFuniak Springs Woman's Club organized a community wide Labor Day picnic to wel- come their displaced neigh- bors from Louisiana and Mis- sissippi. All the donations that came in from local busi- nesses, churches, and private citizens, who generously do- nated everything from food to game prizes, helped make the day successful. The day af- JENNIFER RUPLEY presented iWomaon Club President Diane Wospil with Kelley's chack. ter the picnic, the group's club house opened its doors to distribute clothing to the evacuees. Club member Paulette Morrison organized volunteer members so that the club could stay open ev- eryday from 1-3 p.m. Cloth- ing, sodas, and toiletries were given out abundantly. As clothing was being given out monetary donations for the evacuees begin coming in to the Women's Club. "I wanted to make sure that these donations were used where and how they were needed most," said Diane Wospil, club president. After speaking with the Red Cross she was informed that pre- scription re-fills were a pri- ority most and could most likely to be filled more .

Working with: Doctor James Howell arid Ross Centanni, Medicine Shoppe pharamcist, they were able to set up an account to start helping individuals get the necessary medications they needed. On Saturday, September 10, Kelley's Grocery, of Freeport, hosted a day of games to help raise money for the victims of Katrina. Also, the Freeport Fire Depart- ment had a coin toss and boot drive to also raise money for the evacuees. The success of the fire department and Kelley's fundraiser was shown in the generous checks that Kelley's store manager, Paul Sivley, and fire chief, Ray Withrow, pre- sented to the DeFuniak Springs Woman's Club to help them continue the re- filling of prescriptions. "It is truly a wonderful thing that our organizations are able to join together to raise money for a common cause, neighbors helping neighbors, something I hope we can continue to do," said Wospil. `Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood Foundation presents check to Cityof DeFuniak for repairs By BRUCE COLLIER In a ceremony held on Sat- urday, September 17, the Chautauqua Hall of Brother- hood Foundation presented a donation totaling $26,500 to the CityofDeFuniak Springs.

The partnership is offering select benefits cover- age-a limited benefit health and life insurance policy-to the chamber's business mem- bers and their employees. The policy is a solution for chamber members seeking to provide essential medical benefits to employees who would otherwise not qualify for major medical coverage. "With health care costs at such a high level, it's difficult for local businesses to offer comprehensive medical ben- efits to all employees," said Shannon Porath, whose law firm is a member of the Wal- ton County Chamber of Com- merce.

Countryside Market Place hosts bike rodeo PICTERED IS TED BROWN, MANAGER of the Red Cross Recovery Center-in DeFuniak and William Wheat a FEMA representative also at the shelter. This picture can be used in conjunction with the article on the shelter I previously sent you. Red Cross still serving evacuees in DeFuniak Springs Since Hurricane Katrina :struck on August 28, Walton County citizens have stepped -up to the plate and offered ,their help and support. The DeFuniak Springs of- fice of the Red Cross opened a Host Shelter on September .2 at the former National :Guard Armory in DeFuniak :Springs. The shelter pro- vided lodging to up.to 60 people at a time and meals -to those staying at the shel- ,ter and to individuals living :with host families in the :area. Over 300 meals a day were served in the first two :weeks the shelter was open. *Red Cross Shelter Manager ;Ted Brown says they are :feeding about 30 40 people :a day. SBrown said over 1,700 ser- vice forms were filled out at the center, some with up to 10 individuals listed on each form. Many of these individu- als are being housed in the ,area or were passing through :to other host sites. Most of .the evacuees in the south 'Walton area are using the Red Cross center in Destin :and are not included in these figures. After the first two weeks of operation, the host shelter was closed because there was no longer a need for shelter. The armory was then con- verted into a service center where evacuees could obtain .information and services from several agencies. SThe Red Cross managed the center. Agencies such as FEMA, JobsPlus, COPE, the Florida Department of Chil- dren and Family Services, area church and civic orga- 'nizations, including a group 9If volunteers called Walton Cares, were all providing ser- vices to the evacuees. The Chautauqua Cyber Club loaned the shelter eight com- puters, which according to 'Brown have been an invalu- able tool. People have been able to access FEMA and other help organizations, contact loved ones and post messages via the Internet. : Many of the evacuees who used the center in the first days following the storm have gotten jobs, found hous- ing, registered their children in local schools and estab- lished somewhat of a normal routine. They no longer need daily services. Others have returned closer to home in Mississippi and Louisiana. Even though things have slowed, Brown says the Red Cross is not closing the cen- ter. They are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Red Cross is still feeding about 30 people three meals a day, pro- viding lodging, financial as- sistance and referrals to other agencies. FEMA and JobsPlus are still on site with C.O.P.E. and Department of Children and Family Ser- vices on call. The computers and Internet service are still available, as well as a Red Cross Disaster Nurse. The Walton County Health De- partment is giving necessary inoculations to evacuees re- turning to the areas hardest hit by the storm. The Red Cross works in co- operation with Caring and Sharing to provide clothing and household goods to the evacuees at no charge. Any- one wishing to donate clean used clothing can take them to Caring and Sharing on Highway 83 North in DeFu- niak Springs. Most of the evacuees needs are being met at this time by the Red Cross, JobsPlus and other agencies. Those who have been housed tempo- rarily in hotels looking for shelter elsewhere. Evacuees passing through the area going home also need gas cards. Walton Cares is helping with many of these needs, but there always seems to be a need for more gas cards. Several calls have been re- ceived from people on the weekend looking for help with hotel rooms in the south Walton area. Despite some rumors to the contrary, Brown said, "The Red Cross will be at the cen- ter as long as we are needed and the city of DeFuniak Springs and Walton County gives us their support." Some participant in the bi- cycle rodeo at Countryside Market Place will be the win- ner of a new bicycle. Just call 892-5687 by Sept. 30 and reg- ister to participate in the bi- cycle rodeo to be conducted by the DeFuniak Springs Police Department and the Walton County Sheriff's Depart- ment. There is no charge to enter. On Saturday, Oct 1, partici- pants are asked to bring their bike and participate in the Bike Rodeo, to be held at 2 p.m. Anyone from pre- schoolers to high school se- niors may enter, and the name of one participant will be drawn to receive a new bi- cycle which has been donated by a sponsor. Countryside Market Place is a project of the DeFuniak Springs Pilot Club and the Brain Disorder Support Foundation. The bike Rodeo will be held Saturday, Oct. 1, on Juniper Lake Road, DeFuniak Springs. There will be enter- tainment and activities from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. OUR STAND $338 SAVED ON CAR INSURANCE IS $338 AVAILABLE FOR SOMETHING ELSE. 9ls ~ 5/~ owner, I am truly pleased that the chamber can now offer coverage for employees who previously couldn't ac- cess health insurance. I am optimistic that many cham- ber businesses will begin of- fering this plan to their em- ployees." The Select Benefits policy is available to businesses with two or more eligible sea- sonal, temporary, hourly, part-time, or full-time em- ployees. The policy provides coverage for such basic ser- vices as doctor's office visits, X-rays and hospital stays. One rate covers all family members. Plus, there are no limitations on preexisting conditions, no required net- works, and no requirements for proof of good health (ex- cept for late entrants)..While Select Benefits is not a com- prehensive medical policy, there are no deductibles and no copays.

Some of us thought it never would, but it has and with it has come a whole new set of conundrums. We're moving to our new offices, just a stone's throw away, next to the Public Defender's office on Baldwin Avenue. That's not so far as the crow flies, but it's light years away from where we are now. For as long as I can remember, the DeFuniak Herald of- fice has been at its present location at 676 Baldwin Avenue. Lifelong residents may remember that The Breeze was once a separate paper, which was later bought out and combined with the Herald. Originally, The Breeze was also located in DeFuniak Springs, although I've not yet discovered exactly where, and it was the Woodham Family who moved the of- fice south of the Choctawhatchee Bay and called it The Beach Breeze. The two papers are combined so that south Walton read- ers get the Herald for free and north Walton readers get the' Breeze free. Most folks have discovered that it's important to read both, because what happens in one area almost al- ways affects the other. But that's an editorial for another day. Today I am sitting in a cramped, unfinished office clut- tered with the detritus that always accumulates around newspaper offices old editions and articles that were clipped \ and saved for reasons that are now lost, photographs, loose papers and submissions of every kind. There is a sea of post- it notes, paper clips and red-ink pens. Close at hand is my treasured Oxford Universal Dictionary and my copy of the bible of modern newspapers, The Associated Press Stylebook. As I look around, I do a mental inventory of what I will take with me and what things I hope to leave behind. As much as anyone, I'll be thrilled to be in our new office, which Dear Editor, The devastation wrought by natural disasters affects so many innocent lives. Hurricane Katrina claimed not only the lives of a tragic number of human victims and countless dogs, cats, and other terrified companion animals who were orphaned or abandoned, but also the lives of thousands of fish, sharks, birds, and other animals at the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas and the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans. Animals trapped in zoos and aquariums when catastro- ,phe strikes are often unable to'escape or fend for themselves. 'Even with advance notice, it would be impossible to evacu- ate the many dangerous and large animals forced to live in captivity. Animals fre better in their natural environments.

The furnishings, phones and computers will be new and did I mention space? We could fit the present office into the new one twice or maybe three times, considering that we will have an up- stairs, too. Yet, despite all of this, I have to admit that it will surely seem strange for the Herald to occupy any other space. I know it will take time for everyone to find us, even though we're only moving one block over. For a long time, people will go to the old office, wiggle the door knob and peer in- side at the dark rooms and wonder what happened. I may be one of those people, standing there peering in at the local repository for a million stories, more than a few tall tales and a thousand faded photographs. From inside that office, we have seen generations of history, learned of births and deaths, weddings and anniversaries, grand open- ings and going-out-of-business sales, read news of commis- sioners and councilmen, accidents and arrest reports. In short, we have seen our lives and our community reflected back at us from the pages of our weekly newspaper. I can walk the streets of DeFuniak Springs and see Lighfoot's Drug Store, Beasley's, Wise Department Store, Fisher Hardware, Danley Furniture, Christos, Creel Ford, First National Bank, Allison's Grocery, Cawthon State Bank, Ritz Theatre, The Dreamland Motel, Haye's Playhouse, The Jolly Spot, Western Auto and Andrews T.V. Repair. I can still see them all, but only if I close my eyes. They're all gone now, passed into memory. Their storefronts now house other stores, other businesses. Things change. In fact; the only thing that never changes is the fact that everything changes. Not all change is good, of course, but in our case, it is welcome news (pun intended). At 117 years, the DeFuniak Herald-Beach Breeze is now the oldest continuing business in Walton County. In this first decade of a new millennium, we are still growing, ex- panding, improving and changing. Thank you, Faithful Reader, for making the journey with us. It seems appropriate to close with a quote from one of my favorite comic strips, Calvin and Hobbs, which has also 'faded into history. "Know what's weird?" said Calvin. "Day by day, nothing seems to change, but pretty soon, everything's different." Hmm, not bad for a comic strip character. Editor: " It is sad when the city attorney, Clayton Adkinson, can get his nephew through the City Council for them to ap- prove his selection. I have nothing personal toward the young man, Mike Adkinson, but he is a resident of Talla- hassee, Florida. We have some very qualified law enforce- ment officers in DeFuniak Springs that would have made excellent police chiefs. Harold Counts DeFuniak Springs LET3TERTOTHEIT Editor, I am a displaced citizen to the DeFuniak area from Navarre as a result of Hurricane Ivan that destroyed our home last year. As soon as I realized the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and saw the shelter open at the local National Guard Ar- mory for the hurricane evacuees, I went to the shelter and volunteered my services. I signed a volunteer sheet and waited for a call. While I was awaiting the call locally I went on the Internet and volunteered for the American Red Cross. At the end of the application I received a confirmation and told that the American Red Cross in Crestview would be con- tacting me and advising me of further information about my help. Still awaiting a call, several meetings took place locally and I was advised by one of the attendants that there was going to be Red Cross training occurring at the National Guard Armory on the next Saturday. Strictly reacting on rumor, I then went to the Armory and therefore was able to get in on the initial training class. I then told the Red Cross representatives that I was ready, willing and able to be of service, told them my credentials, and was still not enthusiastically welcomed or wanted. The following Monday, I began offering my services at the National Guard Armory as an American Red Cross volun- teer. I worked from open until 6 p.m. Monday through Fri- day, as that was my hours of availability. During the first week of my service there was much tension, friction, and confusion, but not from the displaced evacuees showing up in DeFuniak Springs looking to us for comfort, instead from the volunteers working at the shelter. Grant it, the evacuees were and are in distress, their emo- tions are high, but the volunteers on the other hand have no excuse. They are supposed to be in good spirits and there to comfort, and assist these people in a compassionate man- ner. Quite the contrary has been occurring. There has been a local battle between the Hatfield's and McCoy's involving The American Red Cross and a newly formed local organiza- tion called Walton Cares. Does Walton really care? What in the world is the real agenda here? I tried to keep a positive attitude and continue the service that I had to offer assisting these people in a desperate time of need, until the controversy began to reflect on me, the evacuees began to experience the negativity. The Red Cross services of paperwork and processing have pulled out and moved to Pensacola, the food and supplies donated to the shelter to be given away have been stashed away and are being rationed, and the attitudes of the volunteers are be- coming hostile! I am very uninterested in being involved in controversy, as are the Katrina evacuees. The headlines, the attitudes and actions at the shelter have made it very apparent that there are underlying issues and agendas. What in the world are they? I will continue to pursue my interest in volunteering for the American Red Cross elsewhere, because locally there seems to be no real need or interest in my services even though nationally they are still needing 40,000 volunteers?! Elaine Branch DeFuniak Springs K SPRINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 Subcribe Today Call 892-3232 892-7991 *VISA MASTERCARD Editor: I agree with what Amos Benton Hester III said in his let- ter to the Herald-Breeze of Sept. 1, 2005. His basic stand was that taxes should not be reduced and the reason for his stand was that infrastructure needs are too great for a tax reduction at this time. Plainly and simply stated, roads can't be paved and ser- vices provided on empty pockets. Isn't the new sheriff's office yet to be built? Isn't the ani- mal control facility yet to be erected? I know urban dwellers are blissfully unconcerned about paving rural roads in north Walton County. They rarely travel where the dust rolls in dry weather and mud andL clay splatters and splash in wet weather. Those roads, rut- ted by run-offs rain, beat and bang one's vehicle to an early grave or the junkyard. Those roads aren't new. Most have been here nearly as long as the county has existed, and they' are still dirt, and they still dump tons of sand and silt into: nearby creeks. I really can't summon up a lot of sympathy for owners of "second homes". If they are wealthy enough to own a sec- ond home, taxes shouldn't bother them a whole lot. And what, pray tell, is an affordable house? Affordable to whom? "Affordable" is a salesman's term and tells one noth- ing of value. Low-income housing is part and parcel of north Walton. It has been around since pioneer days and no level of gov- ernment helped the owner drive one nail nor cut one log. Housing in my opinion, is not a public function because it is available to, and serves only a portion of the public. I suspect low-income housing, properly translated, means housing that serves the labor needs of the resort-oriented businesses. That is not a pubic function. It is a business function and businesses should solve the problem. Charles F. Adams Northern Walton County: Editor, The United Fire District and its preceding departments have served the areas of Woodlawn and Pleasant Ridge since their existence. The United Fire District Board of Commis: sioners, the fire chief and the volunteer fire fighters would like to continue to serve this district as an independent spe+ cial fire protection district. To accomplish this, it is vital to have the support of the communities ofWoodlawn and Pleas- ant Ridge in the form of a signature on a petition which is available at the Woodlawn Fire Station or a phone call to Chief Nash at 892-3800. As of this date, there is a full time fire chief, 11 volunteer fire fighters, two new class A pumpers and one older class A pumper for back up. Please visit during the open house the middle week of Oc- tober, dates and events to be posted at each fire station. Lynn Downham Chairperson, United Fire District: *s- i;ER1 TORi ________ Editor, I am a diabetic and have blood tests every three months. On Wednesday afternoon, I called Healthmark to see if they had received the orders for the blood work and they had. I went there Thursday at 7:55 a.m. but they couldn't find the orders. At 8:10, they hadn't found them waiting for a "Jane Doe" to come in at 8:20, she came in, but wasI now gone for coffee. They were advised by the front desk that a patient had been waiting for several minutes. At 8:30 she wasn't back yet. At 8:40 she still wasn't back then I left (disgusted), What's wrong with this picture? "I don't care I'll do it when I'm ready attitude." This attitude, (among other things) is what caused the bad name for this hospital. No one wants to go there because of that. We have a new hospital staffed with employees from the old hospital with the same old habits. Do they need a change M. L. Allison DeFuniak Springs Editor: This is a letter of thanks and appreciation to all of the personnel of Delta Health Care Center at, 138 Sandestin Lane. In August of 2000, I became a resident along with my wife in this facility. My wife with dementia and me with pneu- monia and strep disease, after a stay in the hospital. My wife died in November of 2004. I moved into the assisted living section a little later and I am still here. May I say here that I know nothing about other centers, but since I have been here, I have been surprised at \. hat I have experienced. That is the love and caring that the em- ployees reflect toward the residents. Yes, I know they get paid for what they do, but not for their attitude. Money, can't buy that! From Matt Triplett, the administrator, dov.n,. all of his employees reflect the fact that all the residents re- ceive their love and attention. Approximately one hundred employees broken dov. n into three shifts care for the residents. This includes everything from checking the residents while theysleep to hand feed- ing them at the table. I have watched them hand feeding the residents and it reminds me of an old statement. "You are helpless when you are born and when you get old. How very true. Some of the residents will strike back at the caregiver, but I have never seen any employee ret liate I had some experience in care giving with my wife and I knov. what is required of the caregiver. The book "The Noteboo:'k" was clear on this fact that it takes a whole lot of patience to do that job. In the 25th chapter of the book of Matthew, Jesus tate what will happen when he separates the sheep from the goats. He also states what he uses for this separation Read this chapter and you will understand. I watched the reports from New Orleans where people were left and died in nursing homes. In my five year- here, I have gone through four storm seasons. People here go on 24 hour shifts or longer and were ready to move e. ei .,yone and everything at anytime. They have moved before and will again because we live on the Gulf Coast and believe me it is no easy feat. Sometime when you have a moment stop by and siit us All of the people will welcome you and some day in th e fu- ture you might take a vacation here. When you come you can see in action the love, compassion and care tlhat the staff reflect. You might even go away with a tear in voui eye. Carlton H.

This park was devel- oped by a group of local vet- erans to memorialize all vet- erans. If a person has served, or is now serving, they may qualify to purchase a memo- rial brick. So far, the local vets have constructed ten pedestals around the pen- tagonal shaped main plaza. Each pedestal can accommo- date thirty-five bricks. As of now they have six pedestals filled. One of these are for Civil War veterans. Veterans are encouraged to visit the park and pick up an brick application, or call 850- 836-5209 and one will be mailed.

Walton County Fire Chief Eddie Rivers, along with six firefighters and paramedics, sat down and shared their experiences last week at the Emergency Operations Cen- ter in DeFuniak Springs. Present with their chief were firefighter/paramedics RobertDaniel,Johnny Padgett, and Lynn Eubanks, and paramedics Jonathon Davis, Melissa Brown, and Judy Allison. Not present, but partipants in the effort, were Jerome Szczekot, Jimmy Carter, and Edward Paul. "Requests are handed to the emergency support func- tions of the state EOC," said Rivers. "In this case, Walton County sent two ambulances and five [paramedics]." Walton County lies in the Florida Fire Chiefs Associa- tion (FFCA) Region One. Agencies in that region each dispatched one engine with four firefighters to the area. "By the time we got to Mis- sissippi, it was up to 150 rigs," added paramedic Mel- issa Brown. Rivers said zhat this pro- cedure has .been imple- mented to avoid "freelancing." "People just start showing up," said Rivers. "Pick a state, and a small fire com- pany sees all this destruc- tion, and they want to go and help. They put three or four guys on a fire engine and send them to New Orleans or Mississippi. It has to be an organized process." Proper procedure calls for "staging areas," with com- mand centers set up to dis- patch personnel to areas as needed. In this case, the firefighters set up operations in Gulport at Fire Station 11. "Our main thing was to go in and relieve the personnel ofGulfport's fire department. They had been there the whole time. Some of them had lost everything," said firefighter Johnny Padgett. Accompanied by local fire- fighters, Padgett and his as- sociates ran fire calls, medi- cal calls, and smoke investi- gations. Above all, they tried to ease the locals' burden of work. In the overwhelming amount of work to be done, some local personnel had worked themselves to ex- haustion, missing rest, food, and water. Resources were stretched, and supplies had to be ra- tioned. "We were handing out one or two MREs to a fam- ily," said Padgett. "The people were so glad to see us, they thought they had been forgotten," he said. "It was just amazing," said Jonathon Davis. "They were just so happy to see us." Despite short supplies, there was no shortage of gen- erosity toward the rescue workers. Paramedic Melissa Brown recalled being offered food and water by local families. "We'd ask them if they needed food or water, and they'd.say 'do you need wa- ter, are you hungry?'" Brown laughed, "I'd say 'no, ma'am, we're here for you." "They'd say,'come back to- night, we're cooking up the freezer,'" added paramedic Judy Allison. Aside from a few rumors of looting, none reported having seen any looting. "There was a blue tarp, reading 'you loot, we shoot,' that spanned the whole length of this mobile home in the Biloxi River area," said Padgett. Brown and Allison told the story of an old woman, who came to a shelter and said, "I need to hit you." "She had heard [reports] that people were supposed to be beating up their help," said Brown. "She whacked me with her tennis shoe, so I could go home and say that I'd been beat." The paramedics had a dif- ferent experience than that of the firefighters, said Brown. "We were based out of Stennis [ Space Center], and we'd go down to Waveland and Bay Saint Louis to re- ceive our assignments." "They had a private am- bulance service there, which was covering emergency calls. All they requested was for us to do their long- distance transfers.". Working out of a parking lot, the paramedics loaded up with supplies and cruised the Waveland/Bay Saint Louis area, offering help to residents. Allison said that people would gather near the few remaining structures with food, water, and supplies and cook out. "It was a wonderful expe- rience of a community taking care of community," said Brown. Fuel was a precious com- modity, with the remaining one or two open stations guarded by Florida Highway Patrol. Lines were up to three miles long. Padgett said, "we'd ask people, 'do you need food and water?' and they'd say 'no,' but do you have gas?"' Brown said that the pri- vate ambulance service re- peatedly refused their offers of help. "It was frustrating." "In the end, we were told we weren't needed," she said. "So we went home." All agree that the citizens were appreciative, and that their services were needed. The most common prob- lems to treat were exhaus- tion, dehydration, and medi- cines for blood pressure and diabetes., Most minor injuries had to be treated in the field, since hospitals were accepting only seriously or critically -in- jured patients. Along with the physical ef- fects, natural disasters pro- duce a great deal of mental anguish. "There's more to heal than the body," said Brown. Firefighter Robert Daniel described a mobile home- owner mowing his lawn and clearing away until after dark. "The whole thing to their" recovery is to get things back WALTON COUNTY TO THE RESCUE, (left to right) Lynn Eubanks, Jonathon Davis, Judy Allison, Melissa Brown, Johnny Padgett, and Robert Daniel, at EOC. KATRINA'S DEVASTATION of Pass Christian Church, which had survived Camille. to normal as soon as pos- sible," he said. The physical devastation was chilling. Nearly every power pole was down, and police had to be posted at in- tersections. Darkness brought added problems, as drivers tried to negotiate unfamiliar neigh- borhoods, all the while avoid- ing downed power lines. Local government, police, and fire department build- ings suffered immense wind and water damage. In some cases, police and fire stations lost entire fleets of vehicles. In Pass Christian, the firefighters reported seeing entire subdivisions of homes literally scraped off their slabs. An old church that had sur- vived Hurricane Camille in the 1960s w'as blown apart, leaving only the roof and part of the frame. Both teams were in Missis- sippi a total of eight days, as part of their normal duty ro- tation. At the end of that time, resources had been se- cured from other parts of the country, as far away as Pennsylvania. In that time, the Walton County team fought fires, cleared mountains of wreck- age, fueled vehicles and gen- erators, treated Wounds, and handed out food, water,'and medicine. They also met a dog that had wandered from his New Orleans home all the way to Bay Saint Louis., and four restless firefighters from Louisiana's Saint Bernard Parish. The men had walked from there to Mississippi. Both teams welcomed this opportunity to repay fellow Gulf Coasters for their past services here, during Opal, Ivan, and Dennis. Such disasters as Katrina prove a harsh but valuable classroom, a chance for emer- gency. -workers: to-become better prepared for all-too- possible future storms. Rivers said that Florida has learned a great deal, and that many improvements in emergency response have been made since Hurricane Andrew. "We've had a lot of practice at using emergency plans in real time," he said. "I'm very proud of Walton County, how organized and prepared we are." 4in~ ~~.- -u .' 9 - ~ -~ - 1' GULFPORT'S FIRE STATION 11, base of operations for Walton firefighters.

Members were eager to share personal sto- ries and happenings since the club recessed for the sum- mer in May. Treasurer Susan Chaney, was kept very busy writing receipts, as members paid their yearly dues of $9 (one dollar per month.) Dues are pro-rated at $1 per month depending on which month a new member joins the group. Monies collected throughout the year are donated to the group's annual agency ben- eficiaiies. Members voted during this initial meeting for the groups that they wanted the yearly donations given to at the May, 2006 meeting. After nominations from the floor, the group voted that the beneficiaries for the 2005-2006 year would be the C.A.R.E Program and Special Olympics. McLellan thanked Kathy Doering and her husband, Bud, for compiling and hav- ing the 2005-2006 member directories ready for this first meeting of the year. Member Joyce Campbell has just completed a com- plete audit of the Club's fi- nances and there were zero discrepancies due to the dili- gence of treasurer Susan Chaney. During the recent hurri- cane evacuations, Walton County citizens have been extremely generous in.dona- tions of money and material goods to assist the evacuees. Some of the members of our Open Door Community have gone above and beyond the call of duty by opening their homes to those who have been displaced by the hurri- canes. A wonderful and gra- cious thank you goes out to our members Jean Fazekas, Shirley Sandoski and Shirley Ziglar, who all provided shel- ter in their homes to families that escaped from the rav- ages of the hurricanes. Ruth Bjorkman, official photographer and historian of the club's scrapbook, made a motion that this year's scrapbook be dedicated in memory of two beloved mem- bers, Dottie Merrifield and Alyce Schultz, both of whom passed away this year. The motion passed unanimously. The next meeting of the Open Door Community Club will be on Thursday, Oct. 13, 2005 at 11 a.m. at the Cross- roads Best Western Hotel. The club is open to all women of Walton County and meets the second Thursday of each month at the 11 a.m. For information, attend one of the meetings or write to Open Door Community Club, P.O.

S Pleasant Grove Baptist Church will be holding re- Svival services Oct. 2 through SOct. 6. Reverend Gary Cadwell will be our revival speaker. Sunday services will be 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday - Thursday services will be at 7 p.m. A nursery will be available. The church is located at the intersection of Hwy.1883 E. & 183B. Everyone is invited. By BRUCE COLLIER The French Quarter Grille in Niceville was the site of dinner and death last Satur- day evening. Fprt Walton Beach theater entrepreneur Paula Hilton presented her original script, "Muscling in on Murder." The play is a comic mys- tery, written by Hilton and performed by her acting company, Act4Murder. Hilton and her actors maintain a repertoire of about seven performance- ready plays at any given time. The company works in conjunction with area restau- rants, which furnish the food. Between courses, Hilton and company stage a whodunit. The audience is encour- aged to solve the mystery, with prizes, awarded to the table that solves the crime. "Muscling in on Murder"" features a cast of seven char- acters. The story concerns the intrigues among a group of fitness "professionals," seeking to market a new wonder weight-loss tool, the Bycle Cycle. One of the group dies, onstage, somewhere be- tween the salad and the des- sert. The audience is invited to participate in detecting the killer. Over coffee, the obligatory "I'm sure you're all wonder- ing why I called you here" scene takes place, and the perpetrator is bagged before the check arrives. As for the play, it's just plain silly, with lightweight plot, over-the-top acting, and more puns and rhymes than you can shake a butter knife at. For all that, Hilton directs her actors to give the audi- ence its money's worth, and they do. Trauma intervention seminar The Trauma Intervention Programs, Inc. (TIP) of Okaloosa County and Okaloosa Walton College are co-sponsoring a seminar en- titled "Helping Survivors Af- ter Tragedy Strikes."

By Dr. Robert M. Jaye Matthew 6:6 in part reads, "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and ...pray to Thy Father." What te call The Lord's Prayer is a pattern for prayer. It contains the principles to guide the Christian's prayer life. The prayer is found in Matthew 6:9-13. The Lord's Prayer falls into a logical outline. It has an in- troduction "Our Father which art in heaven." Prayer is not to be self-centered. All God's people can pray. He is "Our Father," not just "My Father." There are petitions con- cerning God. "Hallowed be Thy name." God's name is hallowed and holy. We pray that God's name, already hal- lowed and holy, may be re- garded for what it is. "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done." The kingdom comes into our lives as the will of God is done through us. We ask that God become the sov- ereign Ruler of our lives. "In earth as it is in heaven." We ask that God's will be done in our lives as perfectly as it is being done in all the activi- ties of heaven. There are petitions con- cerning people. "Give us this day our daily bread." We do not pray for our daily "cake"; we ask only for the basic ne- cessities of life. "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." If we harbor in our hearts hatred for a brother or sister, we cannot pray aright. We must have a forgiving spirit as we ask God to for- give our debt of sin. "Lead us not into temptation." When trying times come, we pray that God will lead us around them. We do not pray that god will remove temptation from us. Our prayer is that God will deliver us from the foolishness of the Wicked One. The Lord's Prayer teaches us that all our needs are met of sin. The future protection in Christ. The present daily from temptation and deliver- bread. The past forgiveness ance from evil. "They were wonderful' We hear kind words consistently.We're proud that people feel comfortable enough with us to openly tell us how much they, appreciate what we did for . them. In fact, it's this appreciation that drives us to offer the very best in comfort, compassion and service. This is why you canr place your confidence in us. ~pr~.

Chipley edges S.-W^ Walton 21-30 .. Nl 1 At a .. i .. beat South Walton, 27-25, 25-17, 25-23. By PATRICK CASEY The Walton Braves were stopped in Chipley territory on a 4th-and-4 with just over a minute remaining in the game as the Tigers turned back the Braves 21-20. The victory was the third in a row by the Tigers, who have won the last three regular season meetings by a single point each. Walton rallied from a 21-6 deficit in the third quarter as Josh Nettles led the Walton attack by scoring three touch- downs on the night. Nettles, who had a 50-yard run on Walton's opening possession to give Walton a 6-0 lead, added a pair of scoring runs from a yard out to get Walton within a point with 6:10 to play in the game. With Walton's long-snapper, Jack- son Fayne, injured on the touchdown run by Nettles, Coach Frank Sorrells elected to go for the two-point conver- sion instead of risking a bad snap on the point after touch- down. Xavier Jackson at- tempted to run in the two- point conversion only to be knocked off-balance by the Tigers short of the goalline. Walton stopped Chipley on the Tigers next possession and got the ball back after a punt at the Walton 31-yard line. Walton marched to the Tigers 36-yard line only to be held by the Tigers on the next set of downs. Walton tried a reverse on 4th-and-4 only to see the Tigers pull down wideout Alex Smith for a yard loss. The Tigers ran out the final 1:06 to claim their third straight win over Walton. Walton was lucky to be within a point after a rough first half of play. The Tigers Josh Potter raced 67 yards for a score a play after Nettles had given Walton a 6-0 lead. Brandon Sikora's extra point gave Chipley a 7-6 lead after Walton's Isarael Baza had his extra point go wide left. Walton's first possession of the second quarter saw Josh Nettles fumble on the option and Chipley linebacker Shane Kriser scoop up the loose football and race 38 yards for a 14-6 halftime lead. The Tigers took the second half kickoff and upped the advantage to 21-6 on an 11- yard scoring run from Joe Green. Walton had two costly fumbles in the first half that stopped a Braves drive and gave the Tigers a defensive touchdown. An exhausted Josh Nettles led the Walton offense with 185 rushing yards on 21 carries. Walton(2-2) will travel to Williston on Friday, Septem- ber 30, for a 6:30 p.m. kickoff with the Red Devils.

But there are two other teams that are get- ting tons of attention and making heads turn all over the nation. . The University of South Florida and the Univesity of Central Florida crumbled records this past weekend and both teams are set to do it again in the next upcoming weeks. In Tampa, South Florida (3-1) pulled the upset of the year so far as they dis- mantled and then ultimately destroyed the No. 9-ranked Louisville Cardinals. The Bulls blasted the visiting team with a score of 45-14. Receiver Amarri Jackson had two touchdowns, two interceptions for the Bulls and threw for a third against Louisville. The loss was the first for the Kentucky team since their upsetting loss to an- other Florida team in Octo- ber of 2004, Miami, a team that was once the "sure thing" for the Big East. The Big East now has to settle for a second-rate bowl game, since many felt that the Cardinals, after Miami exited the conference, would be that conferences ticket into the BCS bowl bids. South Florida's victory stopped the nation's third longest winning streak, but more impressive, this in only the ninth season of college football. The other Cinderella team that did not get as much at- tention, but brought down Wolverines out of top 25 By CHUCK HINSON The winningest team in col lege football history, the Michigan Wolverines, are n longer in the top 25 aftel Saturday's lost to Wisconsin It is the first time the Michi gan team has been out of th( top 25 most prestigious spots in seven years. They had boasted 114 straight weeks in the top 25 spots and rankings. That rec ord has never been matched. The last poll that did no include the Michigan Wolver ines was on Oct. 18, 1998. Southern, California is or the path to becoming the No 1 team for the longest period of time. The Spartans have been riding the top spot for 23 weeks and say they have no intention on giving up the position. Michigan was ranked in the No. 4 spot when the 200t season opened, but after the Saturday 23-20 loss to Wis consin and-the loss to Notre Dame, the 2-2 Wolverines have slipped into the raking, of the top 40 teams in the nation. Miami currently holds thi longest streak with 93 weeks the team with the longest winning streak this past weekend, is the University of Central Florida. They beat Marshall 23-31 and snapped the nation's longest losing streak at 17games. It was the Conference USA inaugural game for both teams that were. former Mid- American Conference foes. For the Orlando-based school, more than 22,000 fans finally saw their Knights come, alive and when their first game since Oct. 23, 2003.They beat Central Michigan, 31-13. Despite a slow game on the field, Central Florida's kicker Matt Prater saved the game with a 49, 33 and 43 yard field goals that put the Knight in a comfortable lead in the fourth quarter.

"The people spoke, and they listened," said B6nnie McQuiston of the Walton County Taxpayers Associa- tion (WCTA) this week at the close of, the county's final budget hearing. The public meeting was attended by ap- proximately 30 people. Citizens' pleas for a .tax break resounded with the majority of the commission- ers. In a 4 to 1 vote, a millage reduction of about a quarter mill was approved on Sept. 26. Added to the half-mill re- duction that the commission- ers had approved on Sept. 6, the millage reduction for the 2006 fiscal year comes to slightly over three-quarters of a mill. The WCTA had called for a full mill reduc- tion, but members appeared elated with the success of the three-fourths-mill subtrac- tion. One mill equals one dollar per $1,000 of assessed prop- erty value. The millage rate for the 2005 fiscal year was 5.0650 mills, and the rate set for the 2006 fiscal year is 4.3099. Even with the millage re- duction, the county's ad va- lorem tax levy will increase from $40 million for the 2005 fiscal year to $52.5 million for 2006, a 35 percent increase. A tax levy of almost $59 mil- lion had originally been pro- posed for fiscal year 2006. The tax levy increase is be- ing fueled by a jump in prop- erty evaluations over the past year, which increased on a countywide basis by more than $4 billion. Ad valorem taxes will ac- count for 44 percent of the 2006 county budget, which, as approved on Sept. 26, to- tals $119,770;000. By com- parison, the 2005 budget to- tal was $94,900,000. Aside from ad valorem taxes, gas taxes, licenses and permits, charges for services, fines and forfeitures, inter- est, and other miscellaneous . sources provide funding for the budget. At the Sept. 26 hearing, Lex Grainger, representing a newly formed property own- ers organization, Coastal Owners Group, warned that high ad valorem taxes would end the investment boom in Walton County, driving in- vestors to other areas Grainger, an owner at Top- sail Resort, complained, "We are hard pressed to see what we're getting for all this money we're paying." He also called for a cap similar to a homestead exemption on sec- ond homes. County Attorney David Hallman addressed the lat- ter suggestion with the com- ment, "There is no statutory authority for you to (the com- missioners) to deviate" from state statutes applying the cap only to homesteaded resi- dences. Inlet Beach homeowner Frank Comer told the gath- ering, "When I got my prop- erty appraisal notice I was in see RATE 4C DONATED BY local artist Justin Gaffrey, this original painting was recently selected as the logo for the proposed CR-30A scenic corridor. A community-based Corridor Advisory Group (CAG) is holding regular meetings to shepherd the unique local county rbad through the process to obtaining the state scenic designation. The next step to be taken is a bus tour of CR- 30A fbr state transportation officials, which is set for Oct. 27 and will include CAG members and local authorities with a wealth of information to share about CR-30A. Stops will include all the communities along CR-30A, and residents and businesses will be welcoming tour participants from 8:30 a.m. to 5p.m. on tour day. The CAG held an informational meeting for community residents on Sept. 22, and additional community meetings are planned as the scen p designation effort proceeds. Watch the "Herald-Breeze" for information on these gatherings and/or contact Claire Bannerman at 622-3059. DOT: US 331 bay bridge will be the "nut to crack" By DOTTY NIST. A state transportation de- partment official told Walton County commissioners that he is "confident" that four- laning of sections of U.S. 331 north of the Clyde B. Wells Bridge can be "moved up," thanks to additional state funding. Four-laning of the section from U.S. 98 to the bridge is expected to be completed in 2008, but no construction funding is currently avail- able to widen the other seg- ments of the major north- south route or the bridge, which spans the Choc- tawhatchee Bay. The commissioners have prioritized efforts to widen the two-lane route, which is the county's only evacuation route, from U.S. 98 to 1-10. Lowell Clary, assistant sec- retary for finance and admin- istration for the state De- partment of Transportation (DOT,) expressed optimism that the situation with the roadway sections could change for the better with the additional transportation funding to come through Florida's Strategic Intermodal System program and from the new growth management bill. Clary met with the commissioners in a special session on Sept. 26. Clary was less optimistic about funding for the four- laning of the bridge. Esti- mates for that project have risen sharply even from those recently projected. Commenting on that sub- ject, Edward Prescott, De- partment of Transportation director for District 3, which encompasses the Panhandle, said that previous estimates for the bridge project of $308- 310 million are no longer valid because the environ- mental regulatory agencies have indicated that any new bridge construction over the Bay would have to go "from bank to bank" without cause- ways, thus driving the esti- mated price tag for the see BRIDGE 4C Two water deaths, more than a dozen rescues off area beaches THE SOUTH WALTON Tourist Development Council (TDC) "cleans up" again with tour- ism. industry awards! Executive Director Kriss Titus was proud to display the recently gar- nered honors at this month's meeting of Walton County's local tourism council. For the sec- ond year in a row, the TDC received a "Henry" Flagler award from Visit Florida, the state- wide tourism promotion organization. This top honor for excellence in marketing tourism was in recognition of the TDC's magazine advertising. Visit Florida also bestowed the TDC with a Flagler finalist award for newspaper advertising promoting the Beach of South Wal- ton. In addition, the TDC received three "Golden Image" pyramid awards from the Florida Public Relations Association, including one first place "Grand Golden Image" award. This first place pyramid award is presented for excellence in the category of "printed tools of public relations" and recognizes the TDC's "Arts, Nature and Cultural Guide" (a four-color brochure created under the direction of Erin Lagrosse.) One of the two smaller Golden Image pyramids was also for the brochure and the other was for a video news release. By BRUCE COLLIER A Kentucky man drowned on Saturday September 24 in rough surf off of Miramar Beach. A second man collapsed in the surf at Pensacola Beach and later died, on September 25. An autopsy is scheduled to determine the cause of death. Law enforcement and pub- lic safety authorities for Wal- ton and Escambia counties, and for the Santa Rosa Is- land Authority, say that there have been more than a dozen water rescues off of the Panhandle beaches. The rescues, as well as the Miramar Beach drowning, come as a result of heavy surf kicked up by the remnants of Hurricane Rita. On September 24, Walton County Sheriff's Beach Unit deputies responded to a 2:15 p.m. report of a swimmer in distress off of Scenic Gulf Drive near Miramar Beach. Also responding were the South Walton Fire District and Walton County Emer- gency Management, and sev- eral private citizens. Working in what were de- scribed as "dangerous surf conditions," the rescuers at- tempted to pull the swimmer from the water. Despite their efforts, the swimmer died at the scene. The deceased was identi- fled as Ronald J. Hallquist, 52, ofWalton, KY. Double-red warning flags had been posted in the area of the in- cident. Bob West, public safety manager for Santa Rosa Is- land Authority, said that both red flags and lifeguards have been posted all along the area's beaches.

Now Louisiana is getting pounded and a little bit of Cajun tradi- tion seems to be slip- ping away., For the past month, all we have heard about, read, about, and talked about has been about. Hurricane Ka- trina and the devastation along the Mississippi Gulf Coast and in New Orleans, LA. We became obsessed with what would happen next and who would be found clinging on to life when res- cuers finally reached them. Now with Hurricane Rita [tt't-i L slamming into the Texas southwest coast and the other side of Lousiana around Lake Charles, it seems Louisana's future hangs in the balance. We have seen the waters rise, the death tolls mount and the people being moved around the country because of two devastating storms ripping through the South. But to be of Cajun descent and to know the traditions that are so instilled in na- tives, traditions that stem from religion and rituals that have been tested over the past month, it's hard. The food, the culture, the art, and the people, have made Louisiana what it is to- day. From Mardi Gras and crawfish, to Zydeco and gumbo, the culture is cele- brated.

Locally, since all the trag- edy, Walton County resi- dents have been taking in refugees, have opened their wallets to charities and have held events that bring the traditions and culture of Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle. From New Orleans high school principals being hon- ored at local homecoming games, to benefit concerts, fundraisers, dinners, drop- offs, and appreciation events, locals are trying to reinstill hope in our Cajun neighbors. On Oct. 7 and 8, two more events will take front seat in the fundraising attempts. On Oct. 7, Cafe Provence is hosting a benefit dinner for the Danny Wuerffel Desire Street Ministry. It will be a fundraiser for the inner city youth of New Orleans. It will take place at the restaurant in Santa Rosa Beach, beginning at 7 p.m. The menu is a salute to the "cuisine of New Orleans, with notable chefs creating their favorite Cajun recipes. There will also be a raffle and Mardi Gras favors. For more information and reservations, call 622-3022. On the following night, the Rosemary Beach Founda- tion presents Tunes By The Dunes: A Benefit Concert for Hurricane Katrina.

SRB man killed in collision By BRUCE COLLIER A Santa Rosa Beach man died after his vehicle struck a utility pole on Bay Grove Road in Walton County. The accident took place at around 10:30 p.m. on September 21. Cpl. D.M. Stewart of the Florida HighwayPatrol re- ported that a vehicle was traveling west on Bay Grove Road at a "high rate of speed." The driver and sole occupant was Joseph Alan Kuykendall, 18, of 2432 Chat Holley Road, Santa Rosa Beach. Kuykendall apparently went into a 135-foot skid, ro- tated clockwise, then struck a utility pole with the left side of his vehicle. Walton County Emergency Medical Services transported Kuykendall to Sacred Heart Hospital at Emerald Coast, where he,was pronounced dead approximately an hour later. The FHP report indicates that it is unknown whether drugs or alcohol were in- volved, but that Kuykendall was not using a seatbelt. No charges are pending. 0 'S 1j.

PAGE 3-C u~i PAGE 4-C RATE shock, sticker shock!" He blamed the increase in property evaluations on speculative purchases by de- velopers. "I would ask that you look at the evaluation process," he urged. Attorney Hallman re- sponded that the commis- sioners do not have control over property assessments and that the county property appraiser is tightly restricted by state law in doing prop- erty evaluations, which are based on several sales in the vicinity of the home being appraised. District 5 Commissioner Cindy Meadows was sympa- thetic with Comer's com- plaints. She spoke of an "ar- tificial market based on flip- ping" property. "I think they're saying that through flipping, prices go up and people who live here are hit with tremendous taxi-." she continued. "I think it's a phenomenon with long-term financial impacts on our area," she noted. "I think we owe it to the taxpayers to give them a break during these very tough times," Meadows urged. She had proposed a total three-quarters millage reduction at the Sept. 6 bud- get hearing, but her motion had not been seconded. District 1 Commissioner Scott Brannon expressed concerns about further re- duction of the millage rate. Would it hinder the county in facing growth challenges? He was worried about rising prices for fuel and materials and the need to improve roads.He was willing to con- sider the reduction but in- sisted that the commission BRIDGE project up to half a billion dollars. This type of construction is being mandated in the inter- est of keeping the bay healthy, Prescott explained. Prescott envisioned leaving the current two-lane bridge with some expansion work and adding a "sister bridge" for the additional lanes. How- ever, he said it would take "five lifetimes" for him to ac- cumulate the funds for the project in his regular budget, which is $20 million in "ca- pacity dollars" yearly for all 16 counties in District 3. "The greatest obstacle that we have before us is the bridge," Prescott told the commissioners. "The bridge is the nut to crack" Clary agreed. "It's a roadblock like this that can cause people to throw their hands up," Clary added. "I think we're already at that point," Walton County District 5 Commissioner Cindy Meadows responded. "The urgency is here and now," she said. The commissioners had re- cently requested a meeting with Gov. Jeb Bush to discuss their concerns about the need to widen U.S. 331. They were turned down and were in- stead directed to meet again with transportation officials. A number of such previous meetings had been held, which they had viewed as unsuccessful. On Sept. 20, the commissioners sent a let- WATER FROM FRONT said West. "We've been tell- ing people to stay out of the surf. You can't even wade in it." The other fatal incident in- volved an unidentified man, who was seen to collapse while standing in the water off of Pensacola Beach. Escambia County emergency workers took him to a hospi- tal, where he later died. Other rescues this past week were successfully made in the water near Fort Pickens, and near the pier at Casino Beach. FROM FRONT must still "be mindful of these challenges." Brannon pointed out that Walton County already had one of the lowest millage rates in the state. Walton County Finance Director Bill Imfeld interjected that the county's millage rate was "the lowest" in the state for small counties The additional one-quar- ter-mill reduction being eyed on Sept. 26 equaled approxi- mately $3 million. Among the options on the table were subtracting the amount ei- ther from reserves or from the capital projects fund. Imfeld advised against tak- ing the funds from reserves for reasons of maintaining good ratings for insurance and to stay in good stead for response to storms. Over $18 million had been budgeted for capital projects, including the new jail, the courthouse expansion and renovation, and an animal control facility. County Commission Chair Ken Pridgen suggested the option of looking at bonding to partially fund those projects. Brannon called the sug- gestion "a great idea." District 4 Commissioner Ro Cuchens commented that he sympathizes with the tax- payers because, "We pay taxes, too. We are still behind the eight ball." Almost every day someone calls asking for a road to be paved, he re- marked. Cuchens said the county is working in conjunction with the Florida Association of Counties to present legisla- tion to set up impact fees. "We are trying to come up with some ways to alleviate some of the burden," he said. "I would loved to have seen the millage stay the same and the county give a rebate back to the taxpayer," Cuchens added. He stated his opposition both to taking the $3 million out of reserves and taking it out of the capital project fund. Commissioner Larry Jones said he supported the millage rate reduction but called for the reserves to stay in place. He said that Walton County has "been able to do things in our county that oth- ers have not," because'ad- equate reserves have been maintained. Imfeld commented on the possibility of not only bond- ing but borrowing for capital projects, plus pursuing "some other revenue streams" such as the half-cent sales tax and revenue sharing. Meadows proposed a mo- tion to reduce the ad valorem millage rate by a total of slightly over three-quarters mill, setting it at 4.3099 mills for fiscal year 2006, at a rate 29.2 percent higher than the roll-back rate. Meadows further mo- tioned to take $3.3 million out of the capital projects fund and look for another source of funding to supple- ment that fund. Jones seconded with the provision that the county look beyond the budget re- serves to make up the $3.3 million. Both Meadows' two-part motion and the final budget were approved in two 4 to 1 votes, with Cuchens voting no both times. FROM FRONT ter to Gov. Bush strongly ex- pressing their disappoint- ment that they had not been able to sit down with him and repeating the original re- quest. Walton County District 3 Commissioner Larry Jones observed that, without wid- ening, the bridge will create a "bottleneck," even if the rest of the highway is four- laned. "I'm looking at every av- enue I can look for," Prescott assured the commissioners. He suggested that "to fund a project of this magnitude" (the bridge) that it might be necessary to look at a toll fa- cility. "I'm not trying to sell you on tolls," Clary commented, adding that he would encour- age the commissioners to look at that option and "keep it on the table." Prescott offered to have DOT's "turnpike enterprise" personnel meet with the com- missioners to provide infor- mation on the option. "I would certainly like you to bring them," responded District 4 Commissioner Ro Cuchens. Commissioner Jones and Commission Chair Ken Pridgen agreed that this option should be investi- gated. "What has worked in other places that this board can look at?" asked Walton County Legal Services Direc- tor David Hallman. Clary answered that many areas are "partnering" with DOT on state highway projects in a variety of ways, among them right-of-way or financial donations and pro- viding curb and gutter work or other labor. Meadows asked if a tempo- rary bay bridge for evacua- tion situations would be a possibility. Clary said that "all the basics" such as pil- ings would still be required, and he was not sure of the financial feasility of such a plan. However the officials agreed to look at it. Prescott noted that there is a state infrastructure bank that issues loans to local ar- eas for road projects at zero percent interest. Local realtor David Kramer suggested that the commissioners look at the possibility of bridging the Intracoastal Waterway at its narrowest point in order to provide an alternate evacuation route, perhaps initially with a temporary structure. Meadows agreed to inves- tigate that option. (850 267-4554 ) THE DEFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 Too early to tell Katrina's impact on unemployment By Leah Stratmann It may be too early to tell whether the influx of dis- placed persons from Hurri- cane Katrina will have an impact on the already low unemployment numbers in Walton County. At this point many of the evacuees are in the process of deciding whether or not they will re- main in this community or go elsewhere. Those with the means to flee the storm also face a mountain of paper- work prior to the start of re- building their lives. A spokesman for ResortQuest, one of the area's largest employers, re- marked that Walton County already has the lowest unem- ployment rate in the state of Florida. Silver Sands Factory Stores public relations man- ager Becky Fowler said many of the displaced persons drop- ping by the hurricane relief hub at the shopping center are still not clear on whether or not they will be able to re- turn home and may be hesi- tant to accept a job for just a few weeks. "We have plenty of job openings-about 25 percent. It has been very challenging this year. During the busy season, we were only at about 60 percent staffing, so we have jobs now for those who want them." ResortQuest, like many large operations in the re- gion, slows down in the win- ter months. "We don't have a lot of open positions right now," according to Alexia Poe, a ResortQuest operations manager in Nashville. "How- ever it is my understanding that at this time there is one evacuee in the interview pro- cess for a position. ResortQuest also attended a job fair on Sept. 23 at Seaside specifically for evacuees." Jobs Plus was also one of the participating agencies in the job fair. According to em- ployee services representa- tive Cheryl Fellenz, "numer- ous people came through looking for jobs and we have been able to place several." Hard numbers were unavail- able at press time, but Fellenz said there were a "couple of weeks where the agency was inundated with evacuees seeking employ- ment." Fowler said the numbers of jobs open. at Silver Sands re- mains high. "We have posi- tions available, but I don't expect actual employment numbers to change for a couple of months. A few people have come in to apply, but not a lot of them," she said. All the jobs are avail- able at the outlet are listed online at silversandsoutlet.com and a visit to the site shows open- ings all across the spectrum of retail operations. Full and part time positions are avail- able for sales associates, managers and assistant managers. A few openings exist for administrative office personnel and most all of the positions listed pay well above minimum wage. Fellenz emphasized that Jobs Plus has a variety ofjob available as well as training for jobs and any other kind of assistance job seekers may need. "We have placed profes- sionals, such as nurses and even one lawyer. We also have administrative posi- tions and labor positions open and employers willing to provide on-the-job training to fill positions. We are not just here for those without a job, but also for those want- ing to change careers or tran- sition into another area," she said. "We are a close knit tam and we work together to steer the individual in the right direction. We don't just point at thejob bank. We help them with a detailed job search.

The site will be used by the Choctawhatchee Basin Alli- ance (CBA) of OWC as a dem- onstration site for best man- -agement practices for storm water and land use including conservation and enhance- ment. The Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance is an environmental organization operated under the auspices of OWC. The group has been active since 1996 in water quality moni- toring, analysis of water quality data, remediation projects in the basin and in raising public awareness of the need to actively restore and enhance the Chocta- whatchee Bay and surround- ing watershed. SOWC trustees also ac- cepted an audited financial statement and IRS 900 filing for the OWC Foundation, the college's fundraising organi- zation. The audit reflected a clean opinion with no find- ings. As the governing board of the OWC Collegiate High School, college trustees also approved several items re- lated to the charter high school, including a plan to spend $22,797 received in recognition of the school at- taining another "A" grade on the FloridaA-Plus SchoolAc- countability Program. The plan, recommended to the trustees by school staff, calls for all funds to be spent on items such as educational materials, academic enrich- New vice president joins OWC ment activities and tutorial support for students. Trust- ees also approved the school's annual report for the school's fifth year of operation. High- lighted in the report were accomplishments such as: Collegiate High composite ACT scores exceeded the dis- trict, state and national com- posite scores, 100 percent of 10th grade students meet the state's high standards in math, 97 percent of 10th grade students meet the state's high standards in writing, 87 percent of 10th grade students meet the state's high standards in reading, 100 percent graduation of the school's senior class with 91.3 percent of graduating seniors also earning an associate's college degree from OWC, 90 percent of graduates qualified for Bright Futures scholarships and other ac- complishments. OWC trustees also ap- proved agreements with the Walton and Okaloosa County School Districts to provide dual enrollment opportuni- ties to area high school stu- dents. Dual enrollment is a statewide program that al- lows high school students to enroll free of charge in college courses at Florida public col- leges to earn both college credit and credit toward high school graduation. More than 30,000 high school students in Florida participate annually in dual enrollment and OWC is the region's dual enrollment pro- vider.

By DOT ADAMS Fashion Fun--Here they go again! The volunteers at Caring & Sharing will be showing their thrift shop gar- ments at their 2nd Annual Fashion Show and Luncheon on Sunday, Oct. 2, 1-4 p.m. The event was packed last year, but since there weren't enough parking places to serve the throng, it was de- cided to move to the new venue this year. Some 20 models-gals, guys and kids- -will parade and show casual, cocktail and children's out- fits. You will be surprised at the quality and style of the clothing, and also be sur- prised at some of the outfits the men, sort of, throw to- gether. Along with a delicious lunch, there will be a raffle that includes a donated Sandestin Hilton overnight package and thrift shop jeans for sale, hand-painted with designs created by a local art- ist. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. They may be purchased at the Walton Sun, churches in Santa Rosa Beach and at the Caring & Sharing facility at Lynn Drive, Santa Rosa Beach. Call Caring & Sharing at 267-2866 if you have any questions. Kids' Art Day--The intense, impasto acrylics paintings of landscapes and flowers of TDC artist of the year, Jus- tin Gaffrey, and the technicolor bright, eclectic work of his artist wife, Billie, are encased in a honeycomb of nooks and crannies at the Gaffrey Gallery. On a gloomy Saturday, with Hirricane Rita hover- ing in the Gulf, it was the per- fect day for more than 30 youngsters who were treated to a day of hands-on art ac- tivities and a buffet lunch. The media event was spon- sored by the SWTDC with the whole-hearted coopera- tion of the Gaffreys, who planned the day. Sad Sight-The beach ac- cess parking lot at Pompano Joe's in Miramar Beach is closed again, compliments of Hurricanes Dennis, Katrina and Rita. Driving along old Hwy. 98 (I find it difficult to write Scenic Gulf Drive) last Friday, I decided to lower my car windows, and inhale the salty gulf air to conserve gas. Along with air, I re- ceived an eye and mouthful of wind-blown beach sand before it blanketed the road. A giddy thought crossed my mind as I blinked the grit away- those bits of sand were worth thousands of $$$! Wow.

Seaside Repertory Theatre "Fisherman and His Wife" at West DeFuniak Elementary By BRUCE COLLIER Seaside Repertory Theatre (SRT) took its show on the road to West DeFuniak El- ementary school this week. SRT put on two perfor- mances of its children's play, "The Fisherman and His Wife," before a packed crowd of appreciative students. The early morning show was done for grades K-2, with a lively audience of about 350 kids. The second show was presented to grades 3 5. SRT's artistic director, Craige Hoover, warmed up the crowd, encouraging the students to participate as "wind and water." In mo- ments, the children were waving arms and trying out their voices in assorted sound effects. The play, which was per- formed outdoors this summer at Seaside, has been altered to travel. "We don't use scenery, just the actors and the words," said Hoover. Three actors, Mike Funt as the Fisherman, Jennifer Steele as his wife, and Joe Starr as the Narrator and the Enchanted Flounder, acted and told the story. "Fisherman" is an enter- taining fable about a poor fisherman who hooks a magic fish. In return for its free- dom, the fish grants the fish- erman a series of wishes. The fisherman and his am- bitious wife keep asking for more and more, until they learn a lesson about greed and being happy with what you have. Seaside Repertory Theatre will continue to tour the play to area schools and other ven- ues. For details, call 231- 3033.
