'Extinct' bird believed


to exist locally


By DOTTY NIST
A surprise revelation this
week by Walton County con-
servationist M.C. Davis cap-
tivated a gathering of offi-
cials, dignitaries, and conser-
vation-minded community
members.
Davis' early announcement
was to become world news
the following day: solid evi-
dence exists that a very fa-
mous bird thought to be ex-
tinct for 60 years exists in
secluded locations in Walton
and Washington counties.
"We really do believe there
are Ivory-billed Woodpeckers
out there on the
Choctawhatchee River," said
Mark Bailey, one of the sci-
entists assembled by Davis to
present the exciting informa-
tion to the local gathering on
Sept. 25 hosted by the 331
CafE.
The Ivory-billed Wood-
pecker was previously in the


.. news less than two years ago
after being sighted in a ru-
ral area of Arkansas which
was 'put on the map' by the
revolutionary discovery.
Prior to that time, these ex-
travagantly feathered birds
were thought to have died
out in the 1930s.
The Ivory-billed Wood-
pecker is the largest species
of woodpecker in North
America. Its habitat is the
now-rare old growth wooded
areas on river bottoms.
These beautifully-marked
woodpeckers have evoked a
sacred attitude among scien-
tists and conservationists.
"These woods are now my
church," is a quote from John
Fitzpatrick, a researcher of
Ivory-billed Woodpeckers in
Arkansas.
The Walton/Washington
County discovery came
through the efforts of an Au-
burn University team, led by

DeFuniak Springs


City Council


raises utility rates


By LEIGH STRICKLAND
Three ordinances that will
change the natural gas, wa-
ter, and wastewater rates for
the city were adopted at
Monday night's meeting of
the DeFuniak Springs City
Council. As of October 1, rate
increases will take effect for
all three services. These rate
increases are a result of stud-
ies, done on each individual
system. No members of the
public commented on the in-
creases at the meeting, which
also served as a public hear-
ing for the new ordinances.
The city of DeFuniak
Springs is not immune
to insurance rate increases.
For the 2006-2007 fiscal year,
the city will pay $338,330 to
Public Risk Insurance for
coverage. This is an increase
of $100,532 over last year's
cost, the largest increase be-'
ing for property coverage.
The city has authorized
the sale of bonds to Rural De-
velopment for phase two of
the project that will extend
and improve the city's water
system. This project includes
the new water tank and wa-
ter lines on Sunrise Road. A
2.625 percent interest rate
was included in the agree-
i ment.
Okaloosa Gas District will
provide the gasoline to
the new jail.ite. They were
the low bidderfor the service,
beating out CHELCO Ser-
vices, Inc. Okaloosa Gas Dis-
trict also provides gas to the
city.
The city will pay $29,125
in participation with
the State of Florida for a
master site development
_ plan for the DeFuniak
Springs airport. The state
has agreed to pay 80 percent
of the total cost or $116,500.
The DeFuniak Springs
Police Department has re-
ceived approval to purchase
, 12 new marked patrol


vehicles from Orville
Beckford Ford of Milton. The
total cost for these vehicles
will be $369,201.
According to Mayor
Harold Carpenter, the
Florida Department o.f
Transportation has agreed to
fund and oversee the traffic
light project for the
intersection of Bruce Avenue
and U.S. 331. They have
made it a high priority, he
said, setting a tentative
completion date for July,
2007.
The council once again re-
ceived bids for the facade re-
construction and painting of
the Chautauqua building.
Director of building and
planning for the city Larry
Laird said, "The bids came
back pretty good." The bids
will now be forwarded to the
city architect who will deter-
mine if they meet the speci-
fications advertised for by
the city.
Dara Dobson of the DeFu-
niak Springs Garden Club,
a local non-profit organiza-
tion, requested permission
from the city to charge ad-
mission to their February
25 program. The program
will feature 'author Felder
Rushing. The admission
price will go to cover his
speaking fees and expenses
and will include lunch
for ticket holders.
The city has renewed its
agreement with Public De-
fender Jack Behr with minor
language changes in the
agreement. Though Behr has
not yet been appointed
to represent anyone on a
municipal ordinance viola-
tion, a flat fee of $50 will be
charged upon disposition
of any future cases.

The overall student count is
up 113 students from 2005.
Over a 13-rmonth period that
is a growth rate of almost
nine students per month, not
an overwhelming number,
but still a growth factor that
must be figured in when
planning for future facilities
while conforming to class
size reduction requirements.
"We've had students re-

that trend continue," Super-
intendent Carlene Anderson
told school board members at

Interim public works director asks BBC to opt out of ATV law


By BRUCE COLLIER
In an .August 25 letter to
the Walton County Board of
County Commisioners
(BCC), interim Public Works
Director Allen Brown has
asked that Walton County
opt out of a statewide law al-
lowing all-terrain vehicles
(ATVs) to operate on county
dirt roads.
"I believe that this is leg-


isolation that had good inten-
tions, but will ultimately re-
sult in dire consequences for
the County," wrote Brown.
Brown's objections are
based on what he called the
"severe surface disruption"
caused by operation of ATVs
on dirt roads.
ATVs are designed to
climb hills and run over ob-
stacles, Brown wrote, adding


that "I am confident that
there are individuals that
will run them in and out of
the associated ditches and
slopes of these roadways."'
As a result, Brown pre-
dicted "severe erosion and
higher turbidity loads being
deposited into our streams
and adjacent wetlands."
Brown also expressed his
belief that allowing ATVs on


the dirt roads "will cost the
County several thousands of
dollars on a yearly basis, will
further threaten the environ-
ment and will adversely af-
fect the quality of life in ru-
ral Walton County."
In addition to opting out,
which the statute permits
following a public hearing,
Brown suggests that the
BCC look into setting aside


a "designated park" where
ATVs could operate "under
controlled conditions."
Walton County Adminis-
trator Ronnie Bell said that
Brown has proposed the opt-
out procedure to the BCC,
and that the commission has
chosen to take a "wait and
see" position.
"The statute says 35 miles
per hour or less," said Bell,


adding that the BCC might
reconsider its position ifATV
use causes problems.

The statute, 316.2123,
states that a county may ex-
empt itself from the statute
by majority vote of its gov-
erning body. However, the
statute does not state how
long a county has to take
such a measure.

Martinez:

Congress

prohibits

funds for

Eglin move
U.S. Senator Mel Martinez
(R-FL) announced that lan-
guage included in the fiscal
year 2007 Defense Appro-
priations bill conference re-,
port prohibits funds from be-
ing used to transfer test.and
evaluation programs from
Eglin Air Force Base (AFB).
"This is a clear message to
the Air Force that bars them
from moving forward with
any plans to relocate the vi-
tal test and evaluation mis-
sions from Eglin," said
Martinez. "I applaud the
members of the Florida del-
egation, especially Congress-
man Bill Young and Con-
gressman Jeff Miller for their
hard work in, inserting this
language into a bill that is
destined to become law."
Senator Martinez, along
with Senator Bill Nelson,
were able to attach language
to the Senate version of the
bill that would have required
a Congressional Budget Of-
fice study of any potential re-
alignment prior to the Air
Force developing further
plans to move operations
from Eglin AFB. Senator
Martinez calls the language
added by Reps. Young and
Miller during negotiations
between the House and Sen-
.ate "much stronger" and
more able to stymie any po-
tential removal of missions.
"The 46th Test Wing and
all of Eglin's test and evalu-
ation missions are key to the
base's overall mission and to
our national security," said
Martinez. "This language
protects Eglin, it protects the
mission within the Air Force,
and it protects the region's
economy."
The FY 2007 Defense Ap-
propriations bill must still be
given a final vote by the
House and Senate before be-
ing sent to the White House
for signature.
The exact text of the lan-
guage included in the confer-
ence report reads:
"(C) None of the funds ap-
propriated or otherwise
made available in this Act
may be used to transfer from
Eglin Air Force Base,
Florida, to any other location,
or otherwise to divest from
that base, any test and evalu-
ation facility or test and
evaluation activity that as of
the beginning of fiscal year
2007 is located or conducted
at that base."

Tractor trailer overturns on I-10


By BRUCE COLLIER
A driver and passenger es-
caped with minor injuries
when their tractor trailer
overturned on Interstate 10
on the afternoon of Sept. 21,
near mile marker 93.
Walton County Sheriff's
Office (WCSO) reported that
a tractor trailer was travel-
ing eastbound on I-10 when


its wheels left the roadway.
The driver reportedly over-
corrected and lost control of
the truck. The truck flipped
and struck several trees.
The contents of the truck,
"clothing materials," were
scattered along the shoulder
of the roadway.
In addition to the WCSO,
the Florida Highway Patrol,
Walton County Fire and Res-


cue, Westville and Ponce de
Leon Volunteer Fire Depart-
ments, and Red Bay Fire De-
partment were also notified
and despatched to the acci-
dent.
The driver and passenger
were transported to
Healthmark Hospital in De-
Funiak Springs, with minor
injuries.


Eastbound traffic on I-10
was stopped while cleanup of
debris was made.


By BRUCE COLLIER
A DeFuniak Springs resi-
dent died when his vehicle
left the road and overturned.
The accident occurred on In-
terstate 10, one mile west of
S.R. 285, just after noon on
Sept. 21.
Florida Highway Patrol
(FHP) investigator Cpl. D.,
Davis reported that a vehicle


was traveling east on the in-
side lane of I-10. The driver
and sole occupant of the ve-
hicle was John G. Yearwood,
23, of DeFuniak Springs.
The FHP report states that
Yearwood's vehicle left the
road "for unknown reasons,"
and drifted onto the grass
median.
Yearwood apparently over-
corrected, and moved onto the


shoulder on the other side of
the road, where it began to
overturn. Yearwood was
ejected from the vehicle and
came to rest 10 feet from it.
Yearwood died of his inju-
ries. The FHP report states
that he was not wearing a
seatbelt. An investigation
into whether alcohol was in-
volved is listed as "pending."

I LETTERS TO THE EDITOR


PERSONAL COMMENTS



EDITOR'S COMMENT:



Twenty-five months, eleven days


By RON KELLEY

The U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq has fueled Is-
lamic extremism and contributed to the spread of terrorist
cells, according to a leaked administration intelligence re-
port that reflects the general conclusion of 16 government
intelligence services.
President Bush has insisted that political opponents leaked
select parts of the National Intelligence Estimate to news-
papers last weekend "to create confusion in the minds of
the American people" before the Nov. 7 mid-term elections.
"Somebody has taken it upon themselves to leak classi-
fied information for political purposes," Bush said.
Bush announced Tuesday he has asked Director of Na-
tional Intelligence John D. Negroponte to declassify the re-
port "in such a way that we'll be able to protect sources and
methods of" the U.S. intelligence community. You can read
it for yourself," Bush said. "It will stop all the speculation,
all the politics about somebody saying something about Iraq
you know, somebody trying to confuse the American people
about the nature of this enemy."
I can see why the president would be upset about the in-
formation, which refutes everything his administration has
claimed since invading the country.
Poor President Bush. First it was the nonexistent ties to
Al Qaeda, then the nonexistent weapons.of mass destruc-
tion, then "Mission: accomplished," and now this.
Crying "Politics!" now is a bit like the pot calling the kettle
black. Our documents, records, our very lives should be an
open book for the government to peruse at its leisure, but
government records that reflect poorly on this administra-
tion must be "classified" and kept a secret?
Hmmm.
In a recent edition of Harper's Magazine, writer Lewis H.
Lapham said, "That President George W. Bush came to power
with the intention of invading Iraq is a fact not open to dis-
pute. Pleased with the image of himself as a military hero,
and having spoken, more than once, about seeking revenge
on Saddam Hussein for the tyrant's alleged attempt to 'kill
my Dad,' he appointed to high office in his administration a
cadre of warrior intellectuals, chief among them Secretary
of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, known to be eager for the glo-
ries of imperial conquest. At the first meeting of the new
National Security Council on January 30, 2001, most of the
people in the room discussed the possibility of preemptive
attack against Baghdad."
Lapham documented the fact that in March 2001, the Pen-
tagon circulated a document entitled "Foreign Suitors for
Iraqi Oil Field Contracts," with maps indicating the proper-
ties of interest to various European governments and Ameri-
can corporations. Six month 'later, early in the afternoon of
September 11, the smoke still rising from the Pentagon's
western facade, Secretary Rumsfeld told his staff to fetch
intelligence briefings that will justify an attack on Iraq. By
chance, the next day in the White House basement, Richard
A. Clarke, national coordinator for security and counter-ter-

rorisin, encountered President Bush, who told him to "see if
Saddam did this." Nine days later, at a private dinner in the
White House, the president informed British Prime Minis-
ter Tony Blair "when we have dealt with Afghanistan, we
must come back to Iraq."
Unfortunately, our intelligence agencies failed to discover
proof of Saddam Hussein's ties with Al Qaeda. President
Bush was not satisfied. On November 21, at a National Se-
curity Council meeting, he asked Secretary Rumsfeld, "What
have you got in terms of plans for Iraq?...I want you to get
on it. I want you to keep it secret."
In March 2002, Lapham said the president entered the
office of Condoleezza Rice, the National Security advisor,
and said,'- Saddam. We're taking him out.' At a Senate
Republican Policy lunch that same month on Capitol Hill,
Vice President Dick Cheney informed the assembled group
that it was no longer a question of if the United States will
attack Iraq, 'it's only a question of when.' The vice president
didn't bring up the question of why, the answer to which
was a work in progress, said Lapham.
"A series of notes and memoranda passing back and forth
between the British Cabinet Office in London and its corre-
spondents in Washington during the spring and summer of
2002 address the problem of inventing a pretext for a war
so fondly desired by the Bush administration that Sir Rich-
ard Dearlove, head of Britain's MI-6, finds the interested
parties in Washington fixing "the intelligence and the
facts... around the policy."'
Over the last three years, we've seen misuse of executive
power, record-breaking budgets filled with special-interest
projects, violation of the Geneva Conventions, holding with-
out trial and subjecting to torture individuals arbitrarily
designated as "enemy combatants," an indifference to an
invasion of 12 million illegal aliens and the dissolution of
the U.S. Constitution.
As a Republican, I am often asked what can we do about
it?
The answer is we must endure the next 25 months and
11 days and then hope we can undo the damage.



Editor,
Plainly and simply, the lack of housing for the "workforce"
whatever that is, is not a public problem. The lack of hous-
ing is an employee-employer problem. The BCC is straying
off its reservation by getting involved.
The BCC is a public body whose members are holding an
elective office, and they are going to assume they have a
right, or duty td be involved in providing housingfor private
or-public employees? They don't, and whatever "voodoo t&Ley
use to get around it is bogus. This is the same BCC who
decided it had the power to give and loan public money for
housing in Katrina affected areas.
So businesses need "workforce"? Well businesses can pro-
vide housing or do without. I repeat, it is not a public prob-
lem and requires no public solutions.
I believe I read in the not too distant past an article in the
NWFL Daily News, that a resort, which may have been
Sandestin, had built housing for its employees, apartments,
if I remember correctly. Is that a solution for other busi-
nesses?
A recent article in the DFS Herald-Breeze quoted Dewey
Wilson as saying the housing would involve no cost to tax-
payers. A few sentences further in the paragraph it is stated
the only cost to the county is a pledge of ad valorem taxes.
Well, folks, a cost to the county is a cost to the taxpayers. To
say it is not is.about like saying a circle's a square.
In this situation the county, the BCC, regardless of who is
on the Board, will wind up holding the bag, and taxpayers
will pay to resolve all the problems. I envision a bright fu-
ture for lawyers.

Editor,
I urge all concerned citizens to write letters to the city
council and attend the variance request hearing to build a
human crematorium on Park Avenue hearing October 23,
2006 at City Hall, DeFuniak Springs, FL at 7 p.m.
Residents in the historic district have begun gathering
petitions opposing the variance request for a crematorium
on Park Avenue. These petitions will be brought to the hear-
ing on October 23, 2006. There is an overshadowing nega-
tive attitude by the residents towards this variance request
and a commitment towards clean air, property values and
maintaining the integrity of the historic district. The state
laws regarding crematoriums have not changed and there
are good reasons for these laws. There is already one cre-
matorium in DeFuniak Springs. How many crematoriums
does a small city need?
I am also concerned about approval of this variance re-
quest establishing a precedent. If this is approved, others
will ask for similar variances which could destroy the dis-
trict. People from all over the Panhandle drive to see the
historic district during the holidays and to attend various
functions. The concept of bordering the historic district with
incompatible structures and businesses will have a direct'
impact on property values and the aesthetics of the Dis-
trict.
On behalf of the citizens and property owners of DeFu-
niak Springs, I ask that you get involved opposing this ludi-
crous, self serving request.

State Attorney to

convene grand jury

in Freeport homicide


By BRUCE COLLIER
The State Attorney will
ask for a grand jury to be se-
lected and convened in con-
nection with the Sept. 16 kill-
ing of a man in Freeport.
Three men, Richard D.
Harrington, Terry W.
Godwin, and Matthew H.
Godwin, were arrested and
booked on an open count of
murder, which was incom-
pletely stated as simply
"murder" in last week's Wal-
ton County Sheriff's Report.
The charges remain open
pending a formal indictment
by grand jury.
Assistant State Attorneys


Greg Anchors and Robert
Elmore met on Sept. 26, along
with law enforcement offic-
ers, to discuss "individual
culpability," in the incident,
and decide which specific de-
gree of homicide they will ask
the grand jury to charge as
to each defendant.
The three were arrested in
connection with the alleged
stabbing and beating death of
Terance J. Keefe, outside of a
lounge in Freeport.
Anchors said that the
grand jury may begin selec-
tioh next week, but that the
grand jury proceedings may
be several weeks away.


Walton Fire Rescue donates engine


Engine 202 began a new
life in firefighting on Monday,
Sept. 25. The retired 1983
Grumman fire engine was
turned over to Chipola
College's firefighting school
in Marianna by Walton Fire
Rescue to help train
firefighters for our area.
Accepting the engine for
Chipola, Chief Martin Fowler
stated that "it still has a use-
ful life, but it's better if it
breaks down at our school
than on the way to a fire."
Fowler stated that his de-
partment trains about 75
firefighters a year from all
over Northwest' Florida,
South Georgia, and South
Alabama.
The engine was previously
owned and used by the
United Volunteer Fire De-
partment in the Woodlawn
area south of DeFuniak
Springs. When that depart-
ment came into the' newly
created Walton Fire Rescue,
it was replaced with a new
fire engine, along with other
improvements and mainte-
nance done on the fire sta-
tion.
Walton Fire Manager
Eddie Rivers estimated the
salvage value of the vehicle
if sold to be about $2,000 to


$4,000. With its donation to
Chipola College the vehicle
will continue serving the
firefighting effort, and


Chipola will provide four full
scholarships to Walton Fire
Rescue to train new
firefighters. Twelve of Wal-


ton Fire Rescue's present
firefighters are graduates of
the Chipola program accord-
ing to Rivers..

Manager Eddie Rivers.

County Commission District 2
Over the past four years, I have enjoyed meeting with
many of you and listening to your views on county
government. I have fought for less spending and lower
taxes. County government has plenty of resources to do
the really important jobs without raising taxes: to provide
for public safety, to protect our natural resources, to build
and pave roads, and to continue to provide quality
recreational opportunities to build a better Walton County.
Please help me continue this fight with your vote on
November 7th.
Thank you for your support.

THE DEFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2006


Walton County Transition Team holds first meeting


The first Walton County
Transition Team meeting
was held recently. Carol
Davis, program facilitator
for Transition Services with
the Walton County School
District's Department of Ex-
ceptional Student Education
greeted participants and fa-
cilitated the morning pro-
gram.
Davis introduced Dave
Guido, University of South
Florida. Guido is project di-
rector of four projects focused
on providing training and
technical assistance to fami-
lies, schools, and community
rehabilitation providers on
effective practices in commu-
nity based employment and
supports to individuals with
developmental disorders.


Guido discussed with the
team the purposes and ben-
efits of starting a local inter-
agency transition team.
An interagency transition
team brings together a vari-
ety of stakeholders who are
supporting youth with dis-
abilities so they can have the
best chances for success as
adults. Interagency teams
serve varied purposes. These
are to:
*Identify local needs or dis-
continuity in policies, proce-
dures, services, and pro-
grams that hinder youth
with disabilities from achiev-
.ing desired, valued outcomes.
*Increase the availability,
access, and quality of inter-
agency transition services
through the development


and improvement of policies,
procedures, systems, fund-
ing, and other mechanisms
for providing seamless tran-
sition services to youth with
disabilities and their fami-
lies.
Help other service repre-
sentatives understand the
educational service system
including laws, regulations,
and policies related to tran-
sition services; roles and re-
* sponsibilities of families and
district personnel; roles of
local or regional interagency
planning teams; and roles
now expected of other service
agencies involved in the tran-
sition process.
*Enable youth with dis-
abilities to live, work, and
continue to learn in the com-


munity, with supports if nec-
essary, as adults.
Interagency transition
teams exist because, first, it
just makes good sense for
professionals to work
collaboratively to provide
and coordinate services for
youth with disabilities. Sec-
ond, federal legislation in the
fields of education, employ-
ment, health, mental health,
and others have strongly en-
couraged cross-agency col-
laboration in addressing in-
dividual and family needs.
Finally, families are in-
creasingly requesting help
from schools and adult ser-
vice providers in arranging
for and coordinating commu-
nity services needed by their
child as he/she transitions


from school to adult life.
The goal of transition ser-
vices is to develop the link-
ages and skills necessary for
success in postsecondary
education, adult education
and training, adult services,
independent living, commu-
nity participation, a specific
job or career, and/or inte-
grated community living.
The following are some of
the benefits successful inter-
agency transition teams offer
to a diverse group of agen-
cies, organizations, families,
and individuals:
State agencies working
together may discover com-
mon, cross-agency goals and
how they can work in con-
cert toward addressing the
needs of youth with disabili-
ties.
*State agencies will recog-
nize what other agency ser-
vices are available in their
states.


*State agencies will also
learn which services are lack-
ing in their states.
eState agencies and dis-
trict personnel can develop
and implement action 'plans
to accomplish team objec-
tives.
Statq agencies, district
personnel, family members,
and students may benefit
from new services and activi-
ties, as well as new connec-
tions to existing services.
State agencies, district
personnel, family members,
and students can build trust
and supportive linkages be-
twveen sometime adversaries.
State agencies, district
personnel, family members,
and students will all have an
opportunity to understand
different agency cultures and
requirements.

THE DEFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2006


CITY OF DeFUNIAK
SPRINGS PROCLAMATION
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH
WHEREAS, home should be a place of warmth, uncondi-
tional love, tranquility and security, and for most of us, home
and family can indeed be counted among our greatest bless-
ings. Tragically, for many Americans, these are blessings
that are tarnished by violence and fear; and
WHEREAS, domestic violence is more that the occasional
family dispute. According to the National Crime Victimiza-
tion Survey report, Intimate Partner Violence (May 2000)
876,340 women were victimized by domestic violence in 1998;
and
WHEREAS, in our country, 1,320 female homicide victims
in 1998 were killed by their husbands or boyfriends, which
means that more than three women were murdered by their
husbands or boyfriends every day; and
WHEREAS, women are not the only targets; young chil-
dren, the elderly and men also are counted among the vic-
tims, and sadly, emotional scars are often permanent; and
WHEREAS, a coalition of organizations have emerged to
directly confront this crisis. Law Enforcement Officials, those
involved with shelters and hotline services, health care pro-
viders, the clergy and other concerned citizens are helping
in the effort to end domestic violence. We must recognize
the compassion and dedication of these volunteers and pro-
fessionals; applaud their efforts and increase public under-
standing of this important problem.
NOW THEREFORE, In recognition of the important work
done by domestic violence programs, I, C. Harold Carpenter,
by virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor of the City
of DeFuniak Springs, Florida do hereby proclaim the month
of October as
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH
And urge all citizens to actively participate in any sched-
uled activities and programs sponsored by the Domestic Vio-
lence Coordinating Council of Okaloosa and Walton Coun-
ties to work toward providing improved service for victims
of domestic violence and better accountability of offenders.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the official Seal of the City of DeFuniak Springs
to be affixed this 22nd day of September of the year of our
Lord two thousand and six. /s/

The last of the old growth forests


By JEFFREY POWELL
Only, five percent of the
United States old growth
forest still exists.
One wonderful exception
to this sad fact is the Joyce
Kilmer Memorial Forest
(JKMF) of' western North
Carolina.
To walk through JKMF is
to see the forest the way it
must have looked in prehis-
toric times. The area is filled
with enormous tulip-pop-
lars. some over twenty feet
in circumference and stand-
ing one hundred feet tall.
The forest floor is carpeted
with wildflowers, ferns and
moss-covered logs from the
fallen giants.
Two trails allow the visi-
tor to walk amongst the
great wonders of the JKMF.
The combined distance of'
the trails is two miles and
covers an upland assent
most visitors can manage.
Trails are primitive since
no power tools are allowed.
in the forest. Fallen trees
and debris are only moved
enough to allow access to
the hiking trails.
The JKMF is part of' the
Nantahala National For-
est and is a cove hardwood
forest. In 1935. a regional


forester wrote that the for-
est was one of the "very few
remaining tracts of virgin
hardwood, in the Appala-
chians and we ought to buy
it to preserve some of the
finest original growth in the
Appalachians." The Forest
Service took his advice and
purchased 13.055 five acres
in 1936.
In 1975. congress
designated the land around
Little Santeelah and Slick-
rock Creeks as the Joyce
Kilmer-Slickrock Wilder-
ness. The designation in-
cluded the memorial forest.
Veterans of' Foreign
Wars approached the gov-
ernment to set aside a stand
of trees to serve as a living
memorial to Joyce Kilmer.
who was killed in action
during World War 1.
Although Kilmer
was both a soldier and a
poet. he is most remem-
bered for his poetry about
common. beautiful things in
nature. Kilmer's best-known
work is the poem "Trees."
JKMF is located in
far western North Carolina
near the town of Robbins-
ville. More information may
be obtained by accessing
www.j oyeekimerslickrock.

I Can Do all Things


S By BDr. Charles Satterwhite
"Pastor, Freeport UMC


Imaging the following people, and their lives, if they
believed what others thought.
Consider this:
Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor for lack
of ideas. He also went bankrupt several times before
he built Disneyland.
Babe Ruth, considered by sports historians to be the
greatest athlete of all time and famous for setting the
home run record, also holds the record for strikeouts.
Albert Einstein did not speak until he was four years
old and didn't read until he was seven. His teacher
described him as "mentally slow, unsociable and adrift
forever in his foolish dreams." ,He was expelled and
was refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic
School.
Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women, was
encouraged to find work as a servant or seamstress by
her family.
Beethoven handled the violin awkwardly and pre-
ferred playing his own compositions instead of improv-
ing his technique. His teacher called him hopeless as a
composer.
Thomas Edison's teachers said he was too stupid to
learn anything.
Henry Ford failed and went broke five times before
he finally succeeded. ,
Winston Churchill failed sixth grade. He did not be-
come Prime Minister of England until he was 62, and
then only after a lifetime of defeats and setbacks.
"People who say it cannot be done should not inter-
rupt those who are doing it."
Live A Happier Life. Next time you wake up, instead
of dreading the day ahead, rise and shine and expect
something wonderful to happen today! When you go
outside, notice people going about their lives, and won-
der to yourself what they're thinking, and if they're
happy. Feel the rain or wind on your face, don't hide
from it. Isn't it refreshing? Smile at everyone you meet.
It is a fact that people tend to respond to the look you
are wearing on your own face!
Wiggle your toes if you are bored. Be happy that
you have toes to wiggle! Be polite, and say please and
thank you. That girl taking your order at the fast food
place is a human being, too be nice to her.
When you are eating, really slow down and enjoy
every bite of what you are eating! It's good ... well, and
even if you don't like it, isn't it great that you have
food? Never underestimate yourself
You are always growing and learning. Just because
you didn't succeed at something in the past'doesn't
mean you can't get it right this time around!
Stop complaining about your life. Never take for
granted all the joys and freedoms you have. Remem-
ber those who have less. Tell everyone who is impor-
tant to you how you feel about them! You do not ever
want to spend your days regretting things you never
told them.
And last but never least, remember that life is about
love. Give love when you can, and it will be given to
you!
We invite you to attend the exciting Freeport UMC.

Walton defense holds on for 14-12 win over Chipley


By PATRICK CASEY
The Walton Braves broke
a three game losing streak t6
the Chipley Tigers as
a defensive stand in the final
four minutes of the game al-
lowed Walton to hold on for a
14-12 victory in a non-dis-
trict contest.
Walton(2-2) and
Chipley(2-3) staged one of
the more defensive battles in
the series history as the two
foes combined for four punts
in the first half of play with
each team's defense stopping
the other's offense on downs
in the red zone.
Walton managed the only
score of the first half as Sean
Allen made a key 32-
yard reception to get Walton
out of the shadow of their
own endzone, enabling Wal-
ton to march 77 yards in 14
plays to take an 8-0 lead on
Xavier Jackson's 5-yard
touchdown run and two-
point conversion with 47 sec-
onds left in the first half.
Walton's touchdown was set
up by a pass interference
penalty when a Chipley de-
fender was ruled to have in-
terfered with Alex Smith on
a pass play near the endzone.
The penalty flag gave Walton

a first and goal at the
Chipley 5-yard line and Jack-
son crashed in on the next
play to give Walton
the halftime lead.
Chipley responded in the
second half as the Tigers' de-
fense shut down the
Walton offense on the Braves
first possession. A short punt
allowed the Tigers to start at
the Walton 41-yard line and
the Tigers drove in for a
touchdown on an 8-play drive
that saw quarterback Josh
Potter hit Danzell Everett on
a 13-yard touchdown pass
with 2:09 left in the third
quarter. Chipley failed to
make the 2-point conversion,
leaving Walton with an 8-
6 lead.
Another Chipley defensive
stand forced a Walton punt
from their own endzone
as the Tigers took over pos-
session at the Walton 30-yard
line. Josh Potter then scam-
pered 22 yards on a fourth
down play to give Chipley
their first lead of the game at
12-8 with 10:24 left in the
contest.
Walton again failed to
move the football on their
next possession, forcing
another punt. The Tigers

made a critical error on the .
first play of their next posses-
sion as Potter threw an inter-
ception to Walton's Alex
Smith at the Chipley 43-yard
line.
The big play jump-started
the Walton offense as the
Braves moved the ball 43
yards in nine plays with an-
other pass interference call
on the defender guarding
Walton's Smith giving the
Braves a first down at the
Chipley 8-yard line. Two
plays later Devin Gib-
son crashed in from 3 yards
out to give Walton a 14-12
lead with 3:50' left in the
game.
Chipley wasn't done as the
Tigers moved the ball from
their own 42-yard line to
the Walton 20 with Hunter
Park completing a pair of
passes to keep Chipley alive.
A holding penalty moved
Chipley back to the Walton
26-yard. line, then Devin
Gibson made the play of the
game with a 14-yard sack of
Park. After a 10-yard comple-
tion, Justin Crishon
and Austin Wilson combined

on a sack of Park to end the
Chipley threat and sew up
Walton's first win over the
Tigers since 2002.
Walton won the game de-
spite being held to 41 total
yards of offense in the
second half.
Walton will face Willis-
ton(3-2) on Friday, Septem-
ber 29, at Everett Yates
Memorial Stadium at 7 p.m. t
The Red Devils knocked off

THE DEFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2006


SINGLETARY WINS AT SOUTH ALABAMA. John Singletary, of DeFuniak Springs,
took his second first-place finish on Sept. 2, 2006 at South Alabama Speedway. He cur-
rently has two wins, three second-place finishes and four third-place finishes. He is now in
the points lead in the Roadrunner Class.
Singletary dedicated this victory to his grandfather, H. Lloyd Singletary, who passed
away Aug. 27, 2006, and his father, James Willard Singletary, who passed away Sept. 4,
2006, and with lots of faith and love to his wife, Christie, and the support from friends,
Angelyn and Keith Infinger.


Seahawks

stumble

by one

By CHUCK HINSON
It all came down to the fi-
nal few minutes of the fourth
quarter when Cottondale's
Ronald Shores connected
with Dezmond Gray for a 39-
yard touchdown and two-
point conversion to seal the
35-34 victory for the visiting
Cottondale.
South Walton had just as
many impressive plays, in-
cluding that of Dion Jones
who scored on a 23-yard run
with 3:59 remaining in the
fourth quarter. The
Seahawks broke ahead with
that score and led going into
the remaining three minutes
of the game with a 34-27
lead.
The Seahawks led at the
half by a score of 27-12.
Jones was impressive at the
helm, with 131 yards rushing
on 16 carries. Kenzie
Clemmons shined as well for
South Walton, with 141 yards
on 29 carries.
But it was the late-quarter
touchdown from the two
Cottondale players, already
with touchdowns for 45 and
61 yards, and the two-point
conversion that ended the
Seahawks' hopes.


Burton

wins

Dover
By CHUCK HINSON
It has been an exciting and
depressing year for Jeff Bur-
ton. But with the controversy
behind him, a run for the
NEXTEL Cup title and now
another big win under his
belt, he is ready to go with a
lot less competition.
Burton got the win he
needed and led the lap that
mattered most as he cruised
into the winner's circle on
Sunday after winning the
Dover International Speed-
way. The victory came after
one of the most thrilling races
of the year and it was all be-
tween Burton and Matt
Kenseth.
The win gave Burton the
the points lead in the
NASCAR Chase for the
championship and ended his
175-race winless streak.
The Dover 400 likely ended
the title hopes of Kasey
Kahne, Kyle Busach and
Dale Eanrhardt Jr., who had
average racing seasons this
past year.
The heated race between
Kenseth and Burton was
tight as Burton nipped at
Kenseth's bumper, dodged in
and out of the line-up and
never seemed to be arm-
length from Kenseth. All of
Burton's hard work was
seemingly for naught, since
Kenseth made the decision to
stay in the race and then ran
out of gas.
Burton has not won a Cup
race since Oct. 28, 2001. It
was his 18th career victory.
Carl Edwards came in sec-
ond, followed by Jeff Gordon
in third place. Kenseth fin-
ished in the 10 post for the
day followed.

NOTES

phin Stadium. The win is the
Dolphins' first victory of the
season while Catholic falls to
3-1 overall.
The Northview Chiefs
managed to remain unde-
feated Friday night in an of-
fensive game with the
Marianna Bulldogs before a
Northview homecoming
crowd. The smash-mouth
contest was decided in the fi-
nal 50 seconds when Travion
Lockett broke a trap play and
ran 68 yards to snap a tie
game and give the Chiefs a
33-26 victory.
The Sneads Pirates stole
a victory on Friday night
from Jay 13-12 as Pirates
quarterback C.J. Whit-
tington found Allen Cambell
for a 72-yard completion that
left the Pirates on the Roy-
als' 2-yard line. After a pen-
alty pushed Sneads back to
the 9, Whittington connected
with Alex Scott in the end
zone with 21 seconds left for
the Pirates' first and only
lead of the game. A last-ditch
effort by the Royals (1-4, 0-2)
came up empty as quarter-
back Brandt Hendricks' last
pass of the game was inter-
cepted.
Pensacola Junior College's
volleyball team is 13-5 on the
season despite a couple of key
injuries to Lori Chancey and
Margaret Yates. The Pirates
will prepare for the Gulf
Coast Community College
tournament on Friday. The
squad is still missing start-
ers Margaret Yates and Lori
Chancey and Coach Pete
Pena said despite the seri-
ousness of Yates' knee injury,
she could return in two
weeks, while Chancey's
comeback date hasn't yet
been determined.
Ronnie Jackson ran for a
4-yard touchdown with 10
minutes left in the first half
that gave West Gadsden a 7-
6 upset victory over Liberty
County on Friday. Jackson
finished with 55 rushing
yards for the Panthers (2-2).
Liberty County (3-1) re-
sponded with a touchdown


From 8B

with five minutes left in the
third, but the pass conversion
failed and no one scored af-
ter that.
Madison County hadn't
lost to a Florida team in the
regular season in five years,
but that came to an end
at Daytona's Municipal Sta-
dium on Friday. Mainland
made clutch plays and han-
kered down on defense as it
knocked off Madison County
21-19. The win ended a 39-
game streak of victories by
the #3-ranked Cowboys (3-2)
in Class 2A over Florida op-
ponents during the regular
season. The #7- ranked team
in Class 5A, Daytona Main-
land, upped their record to 5-
0 on the year. The Mainland
defense stuffed a Madison
County two-point conversion
attempt with under four
minutes left in the game to
seal the victory.
The Port St. Joe Sharks
throttled Wewahitchka on
defense leading to a rout of
the Gators 60-0 on Friday
night. Port St. Joe (4-1 over-
all, 2-0 in District 1-1A) domi-
nated the Gators (3-1, 1-1) in
all phases of the game
as they held the Gators to
minus-2 total yards of of-
fense. The expected show-
down never occurred as the
mercy rule went into effect
late in the third quarter.
Panama City Bozeman
came within five minutes
Friday of its first win of the
football season, but a
fumbled punt deep in Bucks'
territory enabled Baker to
break a 10-10 tie and the
Gators went on to a 24-10
win.
The Walton junior varsity
football team fell to Niceville
35-12 to fall to 0-4.
The Walton boys golf team
finished 7th out of 17 teams
in the Miracle Strip Invita-
tional golf tournament
held in Fort Walton Beach
last week. The South Walton
golf team finished 15th.

Top 10 teams get a few scares


By CHUCK HINSON
The AP 25 looked as if it
might have a few top-ranked
teams fall this past weekend,
but they stuck it out and
showed why they are ranked
where they are today in the
polls.
No. 1 Ohio State had its
hands full with No. 24 Penn
State until the fourth quar-
ter when they opened up
their impressive offense and
took control late in the game.
Joe Paterno had to return to
Pennsylvania with a 28-6
loss.
No. 2-ranked Auburn had
no problem beating unranked
Buffalo with a score of 38-7.
Both the Tigers' offense and
defense seem to be unbeat-
able and unstoppable.
No. 3 and 4, Southern Cal
and W. Virginia, both won
their match-ups easily and'
remained at those spots for
the second weekend in a row.
No. 5-ranked Florida had
their hands full with
unranked SEC rival Ken-
tucky this past weekend. In
the first half, the Gators
trailed just before halftime, 7-
6.
But quarterback Chris
Leak managed to get a 78-
yard drive off the ground and
put another 7 points on the
board for the Gators, giving
them the lead back just be-
fore hitting the locker room.
Florida hit the field the sec-
ond half and dominated the
game, finishing off the Wild-
cats, 26-7.
The Gators seem to be
primed for their first loss of
the season, and know they
face a four-game stress with
Alabama, LSU, Auburn and
Georgia before the end of Oc-
tober.
In other top AP 10 news,
LSU beat Tulane in Baton
Rouge, 49-7. They also
jumped ahead of Georgia and
took ninth place, while Geor-
gia took the Tigers' place at
the No. 10 spot.
Georgia, despite winning
on Saturday, had a horrific


time getting anything off the
ground and anything in the
end zone against unranked
Colorado. The Bulldogs did
pull out a 14-13 win, but not
enough to impress any of
those working the AP or USA
Top 25 polls.
Florida State seemed to be
on a mission this past week-
end, doing everything but
dance with the Rice cheer-
leaders. They came back af-
ter the embarrassing loss to
younger Bowden last week to
beat unranked Rice, 55-7.
It was a game where the
Seminoles had to prove they
were worthy to even have an
alumni base.
Florida State started off
sluggish, but Mickey
Andrews and a faithful
crowd started them up and
got the Seminoles to put up
500 yards of total offense for
the day. Bowden's boys broke
the game open after Rice tied
them 7-7 in the middle of the
first quarter, and threw 48
unanswered points on the
board.
Despite their win, the
Seminoles dropped to the
the No. 19 spot in the AP Top
25. Florida State is off this
coming weekend and pre-
pares to travel to NC State for
a Thursday game on Oct. 5.
Every Saturday there is a
game that sets the pace for
the rest of the day and is con-
sidered to be "the game."
That game had to be
Alabama's h'eart-breaking
loss to Arkansas .
After two overtimes and a :
very heated game both on
offense and defense, Alabama
felt the double overtime loss
in Fayetteville as the Razor-
backs' Jeremy Davis put the
extra point through and
sealed the victory for Arkan-
sas. Both teams have had
shaky seasons over the past
three or four years, but when,
it comes down to overtime
play, Arkansas has always
had a way of pulling out the
see SCARE 12B

Anchors of Walton High
School wanted to make sure
that the needs of elderly citi-
zens of Walton County are
met during a crisis such as a
hurricane.
During the month of Au-
gust, the Anchor Club pre-
sented clients of the Walton
County Council on Aging
with hurricane survival kits.
Kits contained personal hy-
giene products, battery oper-
ated clocks, flashlights, first
aid kits, sanitizing gel, non-
perishable food, crossword
puzzles, etc. They also took
the time to produce a tele-

S.W. Fire

District

rolls back

village
By DOTTY NIST
For the first time since
1997, the South Walton Fire
District (SWFD) has changed
the millage rate established
at that time after voters ap-
proved ad valorem taxation
to fund the organization as
opposed to the previous flat
rate funding.
A reduction from 0.83 mills
to 0.80 mills was unani-
mously adopted on Sept. 20
as part of the organization's
fiscal year 2006-07 budget.
The reduction will result in
an average savings of $90 per
household within the dis-
trict.
This puts the cost paid by
the average household in the
SWFD service area at ap-
proximately $480 per year
for fire rescue and emergency
medical services.
SWFD Chief Les Hallman
commented that the millage
reduction was proposed in
recognition of the burden on
taxpayers resulting from the
increase in property values
over the past year---and in an
effort to balance needs re-
lated to .delivering fire, res-
cue and emergency medical
services with keeping the
millage rate low.
Fire Commissioner Tom
Cooper noted that he was
pleased to see that the dis-
trict was able to roll millage
back without reducing ser-
vice.
"In fact, it looks like we will
increase it," Cooper said as
he examined the budget.
The 0.80 millage rate will
still result in a 19.3 percent
increase over the rollback
rate and will yield a 2006-07
budget of over $16.5 million.
Along with approximately
$5.6 million for salaries,
wages and overtime, next
year's SWFD budget will
fund a $1.75 million training
and communications center,
$750,000 for remodeling of
the old Inlet Beach station,
$500,000 in building reserves
for future stations, and
$500,000 for major equip-
ment, including two new res-
cue vehicles. The fire district
will be retiring almost $1.2
million in loans during the
next fiscal year.
The addition of three
firefighters as proposed in
the 2006-07 budget will for
the first time allow for re-
sponse to emergencies with
a minimum of three person-
nel.
Hallman noted that since

VOLUNTEERS PREPARE TO TRANSFER these oyster shells to awaiting boats.


Choctawhatchee Basin

Alliance establishes oyster beds


By JEFFREY POWELL
Over 35 volunteers partici-
pated on the morning of Sept.
22 in an effort to establish an
oyster bed near the mouth of
Rocky Bayou. Volunteers
filled 625 five-gallon buckets,
the equivalent of 22 cubic
yards, and delivered them to
the new bed site.
"I live in the neighborhood
and hope this project will
help with erosion and in-
crease marine life," said vol-
unteer Robin Stiles.
"Projects like these give the
community a chance to give
back to the environment,"
said Department of Environ-
mental Protection (DEP)
Ecosystem Restoration rep-
resentative Heather Reed.
The Choctawhatchee Ba-
sin Alliance (CBA) of
Okaloosa-Walton College in
conjunction with the Florida
DEP have spearheaded a tri-
county pilot project in
Escambia, Santa Rosa and
Okaloosa counties using re-
cycle oyster shells to create
beds in the bay. The oyster
shells utilized in the project
are recycled from local res-
taurants to help reduce
waste sent to local landfils.
Oyster beds are a vital
component to the health and
well being of the bay. Adult
oysters can filter 50 gallons


of water a day, which helps
to clean local waters and re-
duce the effects of nutrient
loading according to the
CBA.
"This project went ex-
tremely well," said CBA Pro-
gram Manager Julie Terrell.


"Hats off to the volunteers
and especially to the
Bluewater Bay Marina for all
of their help."
The National Oceanic At-
mospheric Administration
and Ocean Trust provided
funding for this project.

Town center given green light


By Leah Stratmann
At the regular meeting of
the Walton County Planning
Commission meeting last
week, the commissioners ap-
proved a number of projects,
but also paved the way for
the beginning of another
phase of the New Town Mas-
ter Plan of Development.
Janice McDonald of the
planning department has
been fine-tuning the lan-


guage for the development of
a master plan for the Town
Center in the area adjacent
to the South Walton County
Courthouse Annex.
McDonald said the plan was
initially prepared in 1996 to
provide mixed-use commer-
cial, residential and develop-
ment of all types in an area
providing walkways for ac-
cess.
"This doesn't mean we


don't want any cars, but
walking could be accom-
plished in a safe manner.
People'could move from place
to place on foot," McDonald
said. She further noted that
10 years of visioning, has
gone into this project and the
development plan is being
asked for now because people
owning property in the af-

By BRUCE COLLIER
The south Walton County
Courthouse Annex was
evacuated and traffic di-
verted from the surrounding
area on Tuesday afternoon.
due to a report of a possible
gas main leak.
In a press release, Walton
County Sheriff's Office
(WCSO) public information
officer Lt. Bryan Maule re-
ported that WCSO was dis-
patched at 3:49 p.m., along
with South Walton Fire De-
partment (SWFD).
The release stated that a
"swell in the road," 15 feet
in diameter and 12 inches in


height, was observed pro-
truding through the asphalt
in the southbound lane of
Hwy. 331. The swell was re-
portedly due to
"packpressure buildup" of
gas.

Traffic was rerouted and
the annex was evacuated.
Okaloosa Gas District work-
ers came and shut off the gas.
At press time, the exact rea-
son for the buildup had not
been determined, but "con-
struction/repairs in the area"
were believed to be the cause,
according to the press re-
lease.


Giuliani praises

Republican leadership

at Chamber dinner


By Leah Stratmann
At a press conference prior
to being the keynote speaker
at the 80th anniversary din-
ner celebrating the Walton
Chamber of Commerce,
Rudolph Giuliani said it was
too early to determine if he.
would run for president in
2008 and said he wouldn't
decide for at least a year. In
the interim, his plan is to as-
sist as many Republican can-
didates as possible into the
House of Representatives,
the Senate and governor-
ships across the county.
"We all found out in 2000
and 2004 how important
Florida is to the Republican
Party," Giuliani said. He has
been fundraising all over the
state in the last few weeks.
Giuliani commented on
how lovely this area looked
from the air. Spending a
couple of afternoon hours on
a tour with state senator
Charlie Clary and chamber
president Dawn Moliterno,
Giuliani visited Destin Com-
mons and The Market Shops
of Sandestin. "The tough part
was passing all the lovely golf
courses," he said, vowing to
come back and play one day.
The fifth anniversary of
Sept. 11 was hard for
Giuliani. "I don't know why
it was so hard, but maybe it
is because the war is still go-
ing on. I admire the president
and I think we are safer, but
we can't rest on any idea that
we are really safe," he said.


While noting that flying is
certainly much safer than
before Sept. 11, Giuliani said
it was time to focus attention
on securing the ports and
borders.
Giuliani was given a rous-
ing reception after being in-
troduced by Sen. Clary by the
more than 1,000 attendees in
two ballrooms at the
Sandestin Hilton. "You seem
to be working together just
fine here and you don't need
my remarks on leadership,"
Giuliani joked. "I also want
to thank Florida for saving
the country in 2000 and
2004."
"Leadership is something
you develop. It can be
taught," he said, noting "I
wrote a book about it before
Sept. 11 and I thought I knew
all about emergencies. In
New York, we have emergen-
cies every week," he said. He
noted that part of his book
was about crisis manage-
ment and he was in the
middle of writing this section
when the twin towers were
attacked and it altered many
of his theories about crisis
management.
"Leadership is about
ideas," Giuliani said. "My
hero is Ronald Reagan, who
best exemplified leadership
by setting goals and sticking
with them. He changed the
map of the earth," he said, "by
defeating communism. The

SWMCD workshop buzzing with ideas


By JEFFREY POWELL
According to South Walton
Mosquito Control District
(SWMCD) Director Gary
D'Andrea, local developers
have a hand in mosquito con-
trol.
"The design of some commu-
nities thwart our efforts to
control mosquitoes,"
D'Andrea said recently. "Well
designed stormwater man-
agement systems used in de-
velopment designs can mini-
mize and even eliminate mos-
quito problems."
Of particular concern for
D'Andrea is the placement of


stormwater retention areas.
"There are developments in
south Walton County with re-
tention areas under the
homes," said D'Andrea. "This
is not a healthy situation."
D'Andrea suggests develop-
ers place retention areas and
conveyance swales (ditches)
near roadways allowing
SWMCD personnel the
abiliAty to monitor, and treat,
if necessary, any standing
water. He said conveyance
swales should be contoured to
direct runoff and not hold
stormwater after a rain event.
Curiously, areas that hold


water permanently are not a
problem. Wet retention areas
provide a stable aquatic habi-
tat supporting mosquito
predators such as gambusia
fish. ,
"The purpose of this work-
shop is to involve developers
in a proactive manner," said
SWMCD Commissioner John
Magee. "We are all in tliis to-
gether."
Walton County Commis-
sioner Kenneth Pridgen was
in attendance for the Sept. 21
workshop, as was Commis-
sioner Brannon's aide, Susan
Burgess.

Thousands of volunteers make 2006

Coastal Cleanup a great success


On Saturday, Sept, 16,
more than 1,-1 li volunteers
removed .pp i \u dly
l 7,00I pounds of debrisfrom
the -tA miles of beach in Wal-
ton ,CoutII. The event had
six main clean-up sites in-
cluding Inlet Beach Regional
i.\ i, Blue MInii-t.iiin Re-
gional Beach Access, Dune
Allen RegionalBeach Access,
Ed Walline Regional Beach
Access, Grayton Beach Re-
LiInr, al Access and Miramar
Beach Regional Access on the
western side of Pompano
Joe's.
Volunteers recorded the
debris that was removed
from the beach and coastal
areas. The collection cards
revealed that the ih -m that
was most collected was ciga-
rette butts. Ci.arcutte filters
were .iJO.' ed by bags, caps
and lids and food wrappers
and containers.
"We were delighted to have
such a stt on,, turnout for the
2((1i(6 coastal cleanup," said
Tiffany McCaskill, local
event organizer and new
product development man-


ager for the Walton County

tive of all of the volunteers
who came out to help. In
speaking with them, many
had a natural love of the
beaches and really took pride
in ensuring that our beaches
remain pristine and enjoy-
able for all."
Coastal Cleanup is an in-
ternational program spon-
sored by the Ocean Conser-
vancy engaging people to re-
move trash and debris from
the world's beaches and wa-
terways, to identify the
sources of debris, and to
change the behaviors that
cause pollution.
For more than 20 years
Coastal Cleanup has been a
major event in data collection
and education.
The collected debris is cata-
loged, then sent to the Ocean
Conservancy and used for
studies concerning the wel-,
fare of the nation's coastline.
The Walton County
cleanup was locally spon-
sored by the Walton County
Tourist Development Council


(WCTDC), who provided
complimentary cleanup sup-
plies, bottled water and
Coastal Cleanup T-shirts to
all volunteers.
The WCTDC partnered
with several community or-
ganizations and businesses
including Walton County
Schools, Publix at
WaterColor, Coca-Cola, Buf-
falo Rock Pepsi, Wal-mart
DeFuniak and Wal-mart

REQUIRED COUNTY MEETINGS OF INTEREST
(see legal notices this edition for additional information)


By BRUCE COLLIER
Director Steven Zaillian's
"All the King's Men" is that
riskiest of movie ventures, a
remake of an award-winning
classic film. Robert Rossen's
1949 version garnered three
Oscars, including Best Actor
and Best Picture.

It doesn't stop there. Both
films are based on the novel
of the same name, written by
Robert Penn Warren. That
novel, which was awarded
the Pultizer Prize, was also
adapted for the stage.
So, what does a director do
with all that? Zaillian at-
tacked the problem from
three angles.
First, he spent heavily on
the talent. This latest "All
the King's Men" boasts two
Oscar-winners, Sean Penn
and Anthony Hopkins, along
with past nominees Jude
Law, Kate Winslet, and
Patricia Clarkson.
Second, he does lots of
close-ups on all that talent,
for maximum facial impact.
Many of the scenes in the
film are intimate, two or
three- person scenes, often in-
side close and cramped
rooms, cars, or train coaches.
Third, he steps back and
lets Sean Penn throw down
and act.
"All the King's Men" is
loosely based on the short,
flamboyant political career of
Huey P. Long. A gregarious,
plain-talking Louisiana trav-
eling salesman, Long rose
rapidly to become governor
and United States senator in
the 1920s and 30s, and was
said to bethbe only potential
presidential candidate that
Franklin Roosevelt actually
feared.
In this film, the name is
Willie Stark, likewise a trav-
eling salesman, who rises to
statewide power by playing
on the rage and sheer num-
bers of disenfranchised coun-
try folk in his state.
"They call you hicks," he
says. "Well, I'm a hick, and
nobody ever helped a hick
except another hick."
Stark is made governor,
and makes good on his prom-
ise to share the wealth by
plundering the state's coffers
to build roads, bridges,
schools, and hospitals. Be-
loved of the common people,
Stark is equally loathed by
the wealthy business inter-
ests and aristocratic moss-
backs who have been running
the state for their own ben-
efit.
Almost from the begin-
ning, Stark's enemies begin
plotting his downfall, just as
he and his cronies burn the
midnight oil digging up dirt
on the rich and powerful.


Penn's performance virtu-
ally dominates the first Half
of the film. Unlike Hopkins,
Law, Clarkson, and Winslet,
who spend most of their
screen time sitting or lying
down, Penn spends much of
his time standing, walking, or
strutting on a platform.
Once he discovers his
natural ability for inflamma-
tory oratory, Stark trans-
forms into part-preacher,
part-banana republic jefe,
shouting, pounding the air
(much like newsreels of Huey
Long), and demanding that
his listeners give him the
power to stick it to the fat
cats.
"Give me the hammer," he
roars, "and I'll nail 'em up!"
Once in power, corruption
begins to eat away at ideal-
ism. Stark and his associates
live up to his bleak motto that
sinful mankind "passes from
the stink of the [diaper] to the
stench of the shroud."
If you know anything of
Huey Long, you know how
the film concludes.
Penn's performance has
been criticized as over the
top. No, the character is over
the top. In contrast with
today's cautious, obsessively
PC office seekers and office
holders, Stark unashamedly
mocks his opponents as
"lickspittles" adding one or
two other expressions not
suitable for print.
Stark relishes his power,
and the percs of office, mostly
liquor and women, but never
ceases to remind both sup-
porters and detractors that
he may be a crook, but he's a
crook for the right reasons.
The supporting cast ap-
pear to be underplaying, but
part of that is the story. The
film contains little that is not
connected with Stark, so most
of the other characters spend
their time reacting to him.
Standout performances
come from Jude Law as Jack
Burden, a reporter who "dis-
covers" Stark and turns his
back on his aristocratic fam-
ily to work for the governor.
Patricia Clarkson plays Sadie
Burke, a political operative
personally involved with her
employer. Anthony Hopkins
plays a principled judge, and
James Gandolfini a nasty po-
litical boss.
Though the film is set in
Louisiana, this is no roman-
ticized, Mardi Gras/zydeco
postcard picture. It's dirt
poor, grimy, and everybody's
clothes seem perpetually
damp and rumpled.
"All the King's Men" tells
a fascinating, appalling
story, with effective atmo-
sphere and a lead perfor-
mance by Penn that ought to
get an Oscar nod.

Sinfonia Gulf Coast

debut concert hits


high note
An enthusiastic audience
filled the hall at the Emerald
Coast Conference Center this
past weekend, eagerly await-
ing the debut concert of
Sinfonia Gulf Coast which
featured Broadway legend,
Bernadette Peters.
Under the baton of found-
ing music director and con-
ductor, Demetrius Fuller, the
lights dimmed and the sym-
phonic sounds of over 70 pro-
fessional musicians began
with a tribute to Broadway.
Peters came to the stage and
delighted concert-goers with
an energetic and powerful
show, complete with coming
off stage into the audience to
one lucky gentleman and per-
forming one of her famous
Broadway show tunes sitting
atop the piano.
"The positive reception of
our debut performance by
everyone was quite over-
whelming," said an exhila-
rated Fuller after the concert.
"It was a defining moment for
both Sinfonia Gulf Coast and
our community. Not it's offi-
cial, we have a new home and
we're proud to be here."

Sinfonia has two upcoming
concerts around the corner.
On October 7, Sinfonia goes
pops at Baytowne Wharf for
a free concert at 7 p.m. in the
Village of Baytowne Wharf.
And, on October 12, Sinfonia

Kenneth S. Pridgen



County Commission District 2

Over the past four years, I have enjoyed meeting with
many of you and listening to your views on county
government. I have fought for less spending and lower
taxes. County government has plenty of resources to do
the really important jobs without raising taxes: to provide
for public safety, to protect our natural resources, to build
and pave roads, and to continue to provide quality
recreational opportunities to build a better Walton County.
Please help me continue this fight with your vote on
November 7th.
Thank you for your support.

CENTER


fected area want to start to
develop it. "Without the adop-
tion of the town center plan,
developers would have to
stick with two units per acre.
If the town center concept is
adopted, 10 units per acre
will be permitted," McDonald
noted.
Primary uses allowed in
the project include public
uses, such as the government
complex, civic uses, parks
and recreation, professional
services, neighborhood ser-
vices, single family residen-
tial, multifamily residential,
live/workplace structures
and institutional structures
such as schools.
Developers hope to also in-
clude some affordable hous-
ing for lower income house-
holds and defined with rents
not exceeding 80 percent of
the community's mean in-
come and units targeted at
very low income household
with rents not exceeding 50
percent of the area's median
income.
Tom Patton, a commis-
sioner who also serves on the
board of directors of the Boys
and Girls Club recused him-
self from behind the bench
for the discussion of the town
center and said he felt it was
critical to get population


within the town center. "I
think we need to encourage
a multifamily category that
is rentable and affordable. A
higher density may be appro-
priate, but a comprehensive
plan amendment would then
be needed," he said. The Boys
and Girls Clubs own 30 acres
in the region of the town cen-
ter.
Citizen David Kramer
commented that the word
community use be added to
the language so there
wouldn't be any discussion
about whether or not a dog
pound is a civic use or not and
noted that there should not
be businesses with drive
through windows or gas sta-
tions.
Tom Terrell made a mo-
tion to accept the master plan
of development to include the
exemptions of drive through
window establishments and
assuring the language would
prohibit uses not deemed as
community use. All passed
the motion.
In other actions: Walton
County planners had re-
quested abandonment of
county property in Glendale,
FL. The area of abandonment
requested is a portion of Rail-
road Avenue that runs north
and south with a small por-
tion of the east and west area


STACEY BRADY (left) outgoing chapter president, and

TESTING AND FINDING LEAKS
If your water bill is higher than usual -for no apparent
reason- its time to do a little household investigating
to see if you have a leak. First, turn off all appliances
that use water such as washing machines, ice-makers,
I and faucets. Then, make sure no one uses any water
for at least an hour.


That means do not use any sinks or faucets, inside or
out, and no toilet flushing. Next, go outside and check
the reading on your meter. After an hour, check the
meter again. If it has not moved then there are no leaks.
If it has, check each fixture, faucet and appliance, one
by one. Be sure to also look for any telltale puddles or
wet spots on floors or ceiling. A leak within a wall or
under a floor, left unattended, could result in serious
structural damage over a period of time. If you still
can't find the leak in the house you can step up your
investigation and try to determine if a leak is outside
the house.


First, you will need to turn the water off where it en-
ters your home. Note the reading on the water meter
and then take a break. Later, check the meter again
and see if the reading has changed. If the reading has
changed then you have found the leak. If it hasn't,
then you may need to call a plumber and have him
determine if you have a leak. By taking a little time to
get to the bottom of your rising water bill, you could
save a lot of money.

Is it the world's
largest bass? Is it a
truck with life-like
graphics? It's both,
and the two are
making quite a
splash along the
Emerald Coast;

When you see it coming
down the road, you can't re-
ally tell if you are seeing a
truck on the pavement or if'
you are under water seeing
the world's largest big mouth
bass heading right for you.
That is the idea that owner
and deisgner David E.
Patridge is trying to get
across to everyone who lays
eyes on the work of art.

Wrapped in heavy duty-


gauge vinyl, this Ford F-250
four door truck is completely
covered with a picture of a
bass that Pat'ridge caught
the day before, immortalized
on both sides of his "Bass-on"
mobile. It has traffic stopping
and kids especially clamor-
ing to get inside and take a
ride.

Bass-on originated when
Partridge was applying for a
Florida tag for his truck and
trailer. He had originally
planned to name his massive
truck "Bite Me," but the
phrase had already been
coined. So he settled for
"Bass-on 1" for his truck and
"Bass-on 2" for his boat
trailer.
The idea, name and mar-
keting of' the name derived
from such sayings as "right-
on," "game-on" and "bring it


,. .


Art L CliTP


on." It is used to threaten the
bass that Patridge goes after
every weekend.
The idea and logo are
trademarked and Partridge
eventually plans to market
the produce t worldwide to
various sports shops. fishing
supply stores and other re-
tailers of sporting goods, es-
pecially fishing and tackle.
This past Saturday,


Patridg0 and family and
friends unveiled the work of'
art at the Bass Pro Shop in
Destin. He said that people
were amazed at the vivid
picture of'the fish, and every
child that passed fell in love
with the monster truck and
graphics.

Partridge hopes that the
idea can be marketed for toy


models of the truck and boat
trailer. Hats, t-shirts and
other paraphernalia are al-
ready in some stores and can
be seen at various fishing
tournaments and outdoor
sporting events.

"Speaking from experience,
every bass angler has, the
dream of catching the world's
largest bass. My chances of'
catching that bass were very
slim to none.' Patridge'said.
"I turned the playing field
around and created the
world's largest bass," he
added.
Partridge said that the
whole idea was conceived to
catch the attention of bass
anglers and other sportsman
in the community, and to
bring more excitement to the
sport of bass fishing. This at-
tention-grabbing masterpiece


has done just that.
Partridge's dream of hav-
ing such a vehicle has come
to life. He said he has many
more plans for marketing
the truck and hopes to bring
more attention to the sport,
one that can be enjoyed by
every member of the family.

So in the next few weeks and
months, when you turn on
the boob tube and see a mon-
ster bass rolling around the
track of a raceway with some
of the top names in the sport
piled in the back of the boat
being pulled behind, just re-
member where you saw it
first. It is a sight you won't
soon forget and an image
that just keeps swimming in
your head.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE
OF FLORIDA THAT Article X,
Florida Constitution, is amended to
add the following:
Section 27. Comprehensive
Statewide Tobacco Education And
Prevention Program. In order to pro-
tect people, especially youth, from
health hazards of using tobacco, in-
cluding addictive disorders, cancer,
cardiovascular diseases, and lung dis-
eases; and to discourage use of to-
bacco, particularly among youth, a
portion of the money that tobacco
companies pay to the State of Florida
under the Tobacco Settlement each
year shall be used to fund a compre-
hensive statewide tobacco education
and prevention program consistent
with recommendations of the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Pre-
vention (CDC), as follows:
(a) Program. The money appropri-
ated pursuant to this section shall be
used to fund a comprehensive state-
wide tobacco education and preven-
tion program consistent with the rec-
ommendations for effective program
components in the 1999 Best Prac-
tices for Comprehensive Tobacco
Control Programs of the CDC, as such
Best Practices may be amended by
the CDC. This program shall include,
at a minimum, the following compo-
nents, and may include additional
components that are also contained
within the CDC Best Practices, as pe-
riodically amended, and that are ef-
fective at accomplishing the purpose
of this section, and that do not under-
mine the effectiveness of these re-
quired minimum components:
(1) an advertising campaign to dis-
courage the use of tobacco and to
educate people, especially youth,
about the health hazards of tobacco,
which shall be designed to be effec-
tive at achieving these goals and shall
include, but need not be limited to,
television, radio, and print advertising,
with no limitations on any individual
advertising medium utilized; and
which shall be funded at a level
equivalent to one-third of each total
annual appropriation required by this
section;
(2) evidence-based curricula and
programs to educate youth about to-
bacco and to discourage their use of
it, including, but not limited to, pro-
grams that involve youth, educate
youth about the health hazards of to-
bacco, help youth develop skills to
refuse tobacco, and demonstrate to
youth how to stop using tobacco;
(3) programs of local community-
based partnerships that discourage
the use of tobacco and work to edu-
cate people, especially youth, about
the health hazards of tobacco, with an
emphasis on programs that involve
youth and emphasize the prevention
and cessation of tobaccd6'u';'
(4) enforcement of laW 0~~lIations,
and polr,'ie-. ,ai n' II' -,e i.le ,..r other

P r-.C. b r ba: n r. an d '"
(5) publicly-reported annual evalu-
ations to ensure that moneys appro-
priated pursuant to thiss' ctibn are
spent properly, which 'shalinclude
evaluation of the program's effective-
ness in reducing and preventing to-
bacco use, and annual recommenda-
tions for improvements to enhance the
program's effectiveness, which are to
include comparisons to similar pro-
grams proven to be effective in other
states,.as well as comparisons to CDC
Best Practices, including amendments
thereto.
(b) Funding. In every year begin-
ning with the calendar year after vot-
ers approve this amendment, the
Florida Legislature shall appropriate,
for the purpose expressed herein,
from the total gross funds that tobacco
companies pay to the State of Florida
under the Tobacco Settlement, an
amount equal to fifteen percent of
such funds paid to the State in 2005;
and the appropriation required by this
section shall be adjusted annually for
inflation, using the Consumer Price In-
dex as published by the United States
Department of Labor.
(c) Definitions. "Tobacco" includes,
without limitation, tobacco itself and
tobacco products that include tobacco
and are intended or expected for hu-
man use or consumption, including,
but not limited to, cigarettes, cigars,
pipe tobacco, and smokeless tobacco.
The "Tobacco Settlement" means that
certain Settlement Agreement dated
August 25,1997, entered into in settle-
ment of the case styled as State of
Florida, et al. v. American Tobacco
Company, et al., Case No. 95-1466
AH (Fla. 15t"h Cir. Ct.), as amended by
Stipulation of Amendment dated Sep-
tember 11, 1998; and includes any
subsequent amendments and succes-
sor agreements. "Youth" includes mi-
nors and young adults.
(d) Effective Date. This amendment
shall become effective immediately
upon approval by the voters:

Financial Impact Statement:
This amendment requires state gov-
ernment to appropriate approximately
$57 million in 2007 for the Compre-
hensive Statewide Tobacco Education
and Prevention Program. Thereafter,
this amount will increase annually with
inflation. This spending is expected to
reduce tobacco consumption. As a re-
sult, some long-term savings to state
and local government health and in-


surance programs are probable, but
indeterminate. Also, minor revenue
loss to state government is probable,
but indeterminate.

Florida. A Master Drainage Plan for
the entire project, including all wetland
impacts, and the originally designed

the Phase I modifications is St. J6e
Towns and Resorts, 133-A South
WaterSound Parkway, WaterSound,

THE DEFUNIAK SPRINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2006


PAGE 16-C


SOUTH WALTON HIGH SCHOOL Journalism students and their advisors travelled to Montgomery, AL recently.
After a tour of the Herff-Jones Yearbook plant the students met with an artist to design the cover of the next edition of the
Aerie. Pictured in front of the Herff-Jones facility are Justin Brugge, Allison Carley, Faith Goodwin, Jodie Griffith,
Alisha Hooker, Christina Kelly, Meredith Kelly, Hailey MacDonald, Alex Patronis, Taylor Perkins, Kristin Shaffer, Yesehia
Velez, and advisors Lisa Florko and Barb Stratton.


GIULIANI


first lesson of leadership is to
know what you believe and
you have to stand for some-
thing," he asserted, saying
you have to stick with it even
if your ideas are unpopular.
The second key to leader-
ship, according to Giuliani, is
to be an optimist. "You have
to train yourself to be a prob-
lem-solver. If you don't see
something with rose-colored
glasses, you can't make it
that way."
Another element to suc-
cessful leadership is courage.
"Having courage does not
mean one has a lack of fear.
There are those out there try-
ing to attack and kill us and
we would be foolish not to be
afraid, but they can't kill
enough of us to take our
country. They can do horrid
things and hope we will be
weak and fall to chaos, but
people who love freedom
have more strength than we
realize."
Giuliani praised Gov. Jeb


FROM FRONT


Bush and Mayor Richard
Daly of Chicago for asking if
they could send disaster offi-
cials to New York shortly af-
ter Sept. 11 to observe how
the city was getting back to
normal. "Preparation and
training reduces the risk of
any endeavor and Bush and
Daly sent people to my city
to learn. This is a mark of
leadership and they were the
only two who did ask," he
said.
Finally leadership is a pro-
cess of understanding the
value of teamwork and effec-


tive communication. "Nobody
has to know everything. You
have to identify your weak-
nesses and find people who
can do it better than you
could and you have to be able
to talk to everyone.".
Giuliani seemed in his el-
ement; appearing completely
at ease. He held the crowd in
the palm of his hand, receiv-
ing a standing ovation even
before his speech and an-
other when it was over.
Should he decide to toss his
hat in the ring for the 2008
presidential nomination, he
could do worse than kick-off
his campaign in northwest
Florida.

MITJLAGE

1997, it has been a goal of the
SWFD to achieve the na-
tional standard of four per-
sonnel for each response, a
goal the organization is get-
ting progressively closer to
meeting.
"We need to continue to
strive to reach these profes-
sional organization stan-
dards," said Fire Commis-
sioner Jack Abbitt.
Hallman agreed, highlight-
ing the district's progress by
recalling that when he came
on board as chief ten years
ago, the district was able to
have just four firefighters on
duty for the 84-square-mile
service area--and vehicles
responded to fires with only
one person aboard.
The fire commissioners
heard from, two citizens
whose family members had
been assisted by SWFD

firefighter-paramedics dur-
ing health emergencies,
Karen McGee and Nancy
Porter. Both gave glowing en-
dorsements.
McGee said she would be
more than willing to pay the
extra $90.
Bonnie McQuisiton of the
Walton County Taxpayers
Association (WCTA) agreed
that the fire district staff
does an outstanding job and
supported a continuation of
the high level of service.
McQuiston and Bob
Hudson, also of the WCTA,
also commended the SWFD
on the millage reduction..
"That 3/100 of a mill will
mean something," Hudson
noted.
The SWFD budget is avail-
able for viewing at the SWFD
headquarters on CR-393
North.
